I mean, Joe saw me and some of my craziness.
I needed something that was like a nine to five.
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.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Okay, and that's what you grew up in Jupiter.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Right, Yeah, it's my hometown. It's where I want to

Speaker 3 (01:34):

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Yeah, I say, I don't think those are.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
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.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
When I get my house done, i'll have you guys.
I have like a guest room now for y'all. We'll
have everything set up. I'll finbably have my first like
big boy house. I'm excited. So I'm almost down a renovations.
But to have you guys when you guys are ready
to get out of the cold.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Okay, we're always looking to go to Florida, are you?
Did you buy a house and then gut it? Are
you building a house from scratch?
Speaker 3 (02:05):
I bought it and gutted it.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Okay, yeah, okay, nice? Yeah yeah. Wow, we're stucking to
six hundred and fifty square foot New York, New York apartment.
You know what that's like?
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Oh yeah, I love the city. That's the best place
in the world. But I just had nothing going on
for me up there. I was just a maniac and
I couldn't do it anymore.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
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?
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Yeah, this is kind of something that we've been and
then making as 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 real reality world. Let's put all together.
(02:59):
And we started pitching this show like twenty twenty, twenty nineteen,
and then we sold it or then we got a
production company, went to shoot the Shizzle reel in twenty
twenty 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 eighteenth.
It's all coming together like excited, excited, excited, excited.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
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 finally coming to life.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Yeah, I mean it's been It's been a lot. It's
been a lot ups and downs, Like 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 was the hardest thing I've
ever put myself through. And after doing it all, I
(03:53):
was like, all right, I want more. So I've I've
been running any more houses. I got more products in
front of me now. So it's been good.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
And you're so before you went on The Bachelor, you
were in construction. How much experience did you have?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Not much? So my dad. I grew up around and
my dad was a GC, so he would bring me
to the jobs, but he would never let me do
anything on the jobs. I was at the 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 getting into the business
(04:30):
and I started building my first house through him, and
he was paying me like two hundred bucks a week.
It was miserable. And that's kind of how the whole
Bachelorette things 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. Send
it to my buddies as a joke, and like, this
is hilarious. See what's we can sign up for. I
(04:52):
found the Bachelorette application, did the same thing and wrote
like crazy shit in there, sent crazy pictures and they
were the first one to call me back.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
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.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
I mean, you didn't even apply. You had to fill
out like a survey.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Do you remember that huge survey you have to 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 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
(05:44):
people on this podcast, like this is what you wrote
about you.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
That would be a great segment, honestly, Yeah, that.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
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.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Like I thought this was going in the other direction.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
I thought I was gonna be like, who are you
most excited about? It's like, who do you wish you cut?
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Oh? Man, that's that's that's a question. No one's asked yet. Joe, Well,
I would love to cut. No, I don't think there's
anyone that I would have wanted to cut. Like, you know,
let's start with Jason, because he's a finance guy. Those
those guys driving me crazy numbers, you know, call him
(06:37):
about some issueses like, ah, here we go, you know, so.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
So so funny.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Now the next Now I put myself in a predicament
with the.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Yeah, who you burying and who you pordicating?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
So we have Matt and Rachel, which could be interesting threesome.
Oh we got yeah Hannah, But but no, Hannah was
great and like it was like 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
really I needed a designer, and she had a pass
in design, and uh, I was like, do I call her?
(07:14):
Like I know that you know the way we're doing
the house for She loves the Bachelor. That's how she
found me. She loves Hannah, talks about her all the time.
I was like, even if Panna's design is not that great,
she should be so happ because hannahs in the house. Yeah,
and give to Hannah. She she delivered. She uh, she
over delivered and the design was a credible, incredible we executed.
(07:37):
She was great to work but it was fun. So
you know, uh, I've already been married to Matt and
just for to cause chaos.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Let's say, Mary, wait, so can you clarify then, what
is the role of your guests that are coming on
this show? Like I for some reason, I was under
the impression that you were to be doing a house
for Jason. But you're saying Hannah's coming on as a designer,
so kind of what role is everyone?
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Yes, so Hannah comes on as a designer. We need
the last minute and I caught on to her and
she was able to ask 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 man and Rachel alread to eat and hang out.
So that's kind of what they did. They came to
the gala, they came to the friends giving party, they
(08:27):
came to the house reveal from my mom's house.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
So gotcha. So everyone's coming in playing.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Yeah there's more. They 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 for my mom's
house gala, so it was all to this stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Gotcha.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
So everyone's kind of coming in with their own special
niche and like contributing in different ways to the show exactly.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
So how much of the show would you say, is
like I guess like documentary reality style, then how much
of the show is rebuilding homes?
Speaker 3 (09:03):
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, you hit play, watched it 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.
But I think it's cool about our show is like
you got you get an intro of whose house we're
(09:24):
doing in the beginning and in the middle you get
to see like a reality doc, you storyline throughout the
whole show, and then at the end you get the reveals.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Again, gotcha, how did you decide like what houses you
were going to do?
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Whose houses? And then you said you did nine? How
did you settle on that number?
Speaker 3 (09:43):
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.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
And also they don't have so it's on you all
that stuff.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
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 budgets
that I was like, I have to make these. I
have to basically win these clients over, Like why are
you gonna 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
(10:17):
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, 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
(10:37):
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, you know what, let's let's surprise my
dad and renovate his home. And we kicked him out
of the house for five week, for five days, and
he had no idea. We did a complete clipping his home.
It was awesome.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Wow, that's amazing. What do you feel like you learned
most from doing the show?
Speaker 3 (10:59):
So 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 production team, a and then work
with clients and you work with the town. 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
(11:23):
try and you know, it's it's really the starts of
a company.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Now, yeah, that's that's that's what I'm getting. And that's uh,
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
in seeing you.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Actually, our first project was a thirty thousand dollars project
and we really can't do much with that. And that's
told you know, my partner's Robin jass 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.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Well, wait, when you say thirty thousand dollars project, what
do you mean? So that's your budget on doing what.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Our budget we had to do. We basically had to
do three rooms and that's that's renovating. That's when we
had We had actually forums, we had to do the
five rooms. We had to closet bathroom, primary bedroom, well closet,
primary bathroom, primary bedroom, guest bedroom, and uh and then
they're outdoor entertainment area. Yeah, so we're touching a lot
(12:23):
of rooms. Only we didn't touches in the kitchen and
living room, everything else got renovated, and so it was
a lot of work and like and then you see
like in the bathrooms, like we completely transformed the bathroom,
We transformed their closet, made this like beautiful makeup alcove
for Ashley, and just so many really cool things that
we did to try and you know, really get the
most bang for our buck out of that thirty dollars
(12:45):
budget we.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Had nice I know, 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 in
putting your hard work in this and then potentially worried
that like the show might not get made.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
No. I was always confident in that. I was always
confident we're going to have a show and we're going
to do it. I was just the only thing I
was scared of, is am I going to delay this
show so longer? Am I gonna too much money here?
You know what I mean? So that was my fears.
I always had confidence on their end. It was more
confidence on mind that we were going to be able
to deliver for them.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Got it?
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Gotcha? How many episodes are there?
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Eight episodes?
Speaker 2 (13:31):
And do they come out like one a week?
Speaker 3 (13:33):
It comes out all at once. So the April eighteen,
you get every single episode on Prime video.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
You can benge it.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Everybody nice, nice, which I think we all enjoy a
little bit of binge TV. So I think it'll be exciting.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
That's all we do.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
We do. We're big TV beingers, So we'll crush your
show in two days.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Yeah, that's what I need.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Okay, So then let's let's pivot over to OnlyFans.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Yeah, yeah, what happened there?
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Yeah's sorry about that.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
So OnlyFans. So that was so we shot this video
because so in Jupiter there is a legend Burt Reynolds.
He is like Twitter's guy. You know, he lived in
Jupiter for a long time.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Love Burt Reynolds.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Yeah, we have the I didn't know that the.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Burn Renolds Amphitheater. We have many Burt Reynolds parks. And
he's someone always a up to And I was like,
and my uncle want you know, he's been a pain
in my ass on this show and you guys are
going to see he just is the banking 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
(14:46):
sixteen plus ceilings. So we're doing it and he's like, oh,
and I wanted to get a nice piece of art
right there, and like went off my heads, like, oh,
I got a piece of art for you, you know, And
so I, uh, I was like, let's let's shoot this
picture and I'll just I know, it'll just like I
was thinking it was going to piss them off. You know.
You guys have to watch the see to see his reactions.
(15:06):
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 uh doing the Burt
Rentals 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 second.
(15:28):
We thought everyone everyone like on my home renovation product.
I was like, show us a different kind of reveal.
So I was like, okay, So then we'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.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
I would say, I saw your TikTok actually like yesterday
where you were talking about the girl that was on
your flight.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Oh my god, that was like making such a scene.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Wait what happened? What happened?
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Serena? I was mortified, So so Joe.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
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.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
So Joe, it's like ten thirty at night, our flight's
already laid three hours. You know how everyone kind of
forged 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 Todle Cameron and 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
just like being alive. And then she starts going to everyone,
do you know who that is? That's how, camera, that's how,
(16:34):
And everyone's kind of like, that's the worst no, I
don't know who that is. I was like, just keep
me on this plane immediately.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
And then yeah, You're like I love that you know
who I am and this is so nice.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
But no one else here knows who I am or cares.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
I'm so embarrassed on the plane, and so I started
kind of creeping to the line to get away. And
then she goes, oh my god, for god, you have
only fans and she's like he's had only fans guys.
I'm like, oh no, no. And then I'm like, I
like go down with the jetway. And as I'm like
like sitting waiting to get on the plane, some guy,
older guy with like eight year old son, he goes, great, man,
(17:10):
now you got my eight year old kid asked me
what OnlyFans is? This is so bad.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
You're like.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Yeah, yeah. I was like, I was like, son, you
don't have to worry about only fans for many many years.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Do you think you think when your dad watches the show,
he is going to be impressed with your construction skills
at this at this level?
Speaker 3 (17:33):
I think so I think what schools? 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 it, you know, and like a
lot of it you'll see is like me trying to
get his approval because he's been in this industry for
so long and you kind of want to prove like
I can do this too, you know, I don't. You know,
I don't. We got an argument as the post, I
(17:54):
don't need you. I can figure this out, you know,
because he wanted to be on top of me, always
hovering over, Like I remember even no one of the
houses and changed out the niche that we put in
the bathroom, and and then then the owner came back.
He's like, no, no, no, that's not the niche I wanted.
I changed it again. You know. I'm just like, Pops,
you can't be doing this stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
I get it. I mean my dad's the same way.
And I when I got back into the the produce business,
I started working for him and yeah, I was making
three hundred bucks a week and he was thrown out
of chokes at my head.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
So yeah, not great, not great. It's best to be
just bothering son and not COVID.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Yeah, working with your parents.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Is no, it's hard.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
It's challenging.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
I can imagine it is there like an episode our
part of the show you're most excited for people to
get to see.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
I think episode eight, the last episode, is definitely like
gonna be a great episode for everyone to get to
can It's cool because like the whole show streamed, like
like the storyline is renovating my mom's house, and then
we all see it episode eight, so you getits pieces
of it due out, and then episode eight is the
reveal and you also get the Hannah design too that episode.
(19:02):
But the episode 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 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 finally renovated. It's it's like the
(19:25):
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 specially it's a
great episode, and I just I think that's the one
that really makes this whole series together and just makes
it a great series.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
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.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Is that part of the show.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Do you get to kind of too, we get you
guys 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, uh, it'll be exciting to share all that.
I kind of show you, like what we have going
on in Jupiter and and then you guys kind of
understand why I am in Jupiter now don't really want
to be anywhere else.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
You're going to have so many people moving to Jupiter
being like, hey, Tyler, can you renovate my house?
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Yeah, I've already gotten some of those, so I really
got business in front of us.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Well, are you are you planning on doing any Renolds
Reynolds outside of Florida?
Speaker 3 (20:27):
I think I would from outside of Florida would probably
be just for my own projects, rentals that I would
want to create for myself.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
And would you and and that, like, how do you
feel about the Airbnb game of it all.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
I love it. I love it. I turned to my
properties from the show into Spike short term rentals Airbnbs
and it's a fantastic investment. And I'm a super host.
You yeah, I love it. And it's a it's a
big job because I mean I'm responding to the people.
So it is like my partner, like my or my
(21:03):
help on it. It's you you really, I mean, the
customer is always right, you know. Like and like a
lady moved on the other day and she was like,
I need I need lawn chairs. I was like, well,
we don't really if 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,
(21:24):
but she was so sweet, so nice, and we delivered,
and like if what's what's two hundred dollars in lawn
chairs when you're making you know, three grand on the
on the house for that for that stay too, you know,
now you have it for the next guess 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,
(21:46):
you know what, at least now we have it for
the guests going forward. Yeah. Wow.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
And do you do you like do you pull 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?
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Do you do all that? I'm assuming I do all that,
So I'm always checking those numbers. I've kind of gotten
to like all the research of it all. And it's like,
once I finish my house, I'm gonna buy the next
one to turn into an Airbnb and such.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
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?
Speaker 2 (22:24):
AKA? What should we look for?
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Because you want to be by you want to be
by the coast? Yeah, I think people are going to
always it's there. It's their vacation place, you know. And
I think if you go, if you go buy Disney year,
you'll be fine because that's another big tourist attraction. But
you want to go where tourists are going. And and
my area is pretty much from Stuart all the way
(22:46):
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 buy the coast nice.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
So then is this like what's next for you?
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Like, are you like you're contracting, You're hoping the show
goes great, hoping for multiplemore seasons, hoping for more Airbnb's, Like,
is this what's next for Tyler?
Speaker 3 (23:18):
This is like my my future as like renovating constructions,
you know, construction, building homes like I got we're doing
two in Jacksonville right now. I got two more spec
homes we're about to break around on. I got a
house for sale right now. I'm finishing my house and
then I'm trying to buy another property to turn into
a rental.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Wow, you're busy.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Good, Yeah, I need people. Joe saw me when I'm
not busy and it's not good.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
For listen, no judgment. I'm still not busy, So we're good.
When we talk about reality TV, how a Special Forces.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
It was it was a beast man, It was a
of hell and h but it was also one of
the most transformed, transformative and amazing experience as 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. That's because I gotta when you're when you're
stripped to just who you are and you have nothing
(24:17):
to brag about, talk about it, just but real life
matters that you get to really know and learn about people.
And I got to really understand Nick Moore and really
learn about Jojo, and and now we're all like it's
it's like a little family is great.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
I feel like I saw a TikTok that Jojo is
gonna like name a kid after you or something.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
I know Eddie and Teddy, so I might get a
middle name somewhere.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Okay, how do you feel about that?
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Love it? Love it. I'll be the cool uncle for sure.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
There you go. That's so funny.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Nice. Yeah that show. Yeah, that show.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
Looks looks you said you would do it.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Yeah, I would do it if they asked me. But
I mean, I don't know if they're gonna ask.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
But I've had many people call me like, you know,
that's been cast to do it, possibly, And I'm like
it's it's hurts, it's I mean, I've never been so
much pain and soreness in my life because they don't
push you just as far as everyone else is being pushed.
They pushed you individually as.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Far as I wondered that.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Yeah, and it's just intense and like, yeah, I may
be stronger than someone, but they're gonna get me to
my my biggest weaknesses. You know. Uh. It was incredible.
And the the DS, the staff that's in charge just
badass and that they motivate the hell of you. They
push you. They're amazing cool.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Would you is there any other reality show that you
would do as far as like another compet would you
ever do like Survivor or anything like that, like Traders?
Speaker 3 (25:41):
I think I would die on Survivor. I think like
the when I'm hungry and the biggest wind there is
and I feel like they're just always hungry. So I
don't know how that how good I would do on that?
Traders look pretty cool, I got, I got, yeah, that
was cool. I would be so bad because I'm I'm
like too nice and too like just like I don't
(26:02):
I don't lie, I don't do any of that stuff
like I would just they were just like, yeah, this
get's done.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
You know, only you have you like in order to
be on those shows that you you have to you
have to be able to lie and manipulate or you're done.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Unless you're not a trainer. Then you're just honest.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
You're like, yeah, I'm not a trader, And what happened
when you're a trainer?
Speaker 2 (26:19):
You're screwed and.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Giggling the whole time. But yeah, this fucking.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Idiot, how is dating life? We have to ask?
Speaker 3 (26:29):
It's good. It's I think the way I've like this
last year, like going through this show and being back
home in Jupiter, really changed the way I look at
dating and what I want to do, Like I've not
gonna lie. I think I've brought up the most from
like thirty to thirty one that I have in like
the last five years. And I think I've learned, like,
(26:49):
you know, I want to have these responsibilities to having
these big businesses and and and trying to grow these things,
and you can't be doing the crazy dumb stuff and
you got to learn to settle and be content with
where you our 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
(27:10):
really good for me? Where now I kind of you know,
I'm home now I'm I'm dating in Jupiter. I'm like,
I'm trying to meet people that are that I relate
to and relate with and are part of working and
our 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,
(27:31):
And it's just kind of made me zone in on
like what's more important than what just glitters?
Speaker 4 (27:36):
Yeah, well, dating I feel like in Jupiter has to
be different than dating in New York for.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Sure, for sure, and it's probably the best thing for me.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Yeah, yeah, not in a bad way.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
Okay, new York's like you're crazy for him, Like New
York had to be like I laughed because it was
just had to be totally insane.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
But yeah, I was gonna ask you, do you want kids?
Do you want a family?
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Yeah? I want like, I want like five kids. I
want to have a big family.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
I want to like, yeah, just get the house for
your for your five.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Kids, 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 a mack it out, make it
so it's the way I want to live in it.
And uh, and just kind of I'm really playing my
roots here in town. And and I would tell everybody,
like my ten year gold from here is like I
want to be the high school football coach, Like I don't.
(28:27):
This is the this is the life I want to live, simple, easy,
and uh, and I don't know, it's just I've kind
of just got back to being simple again. I would say, nice,
that's good.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Healthy. Do you how is your interior design skills?
Speaker 3 (28:42):
So it was it was not the strongest at the
beginning of the show. Thankfully we have people like Jessica
and then Hannah. Come on, I learned a ton from
and Jessica is 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
don't look based off what the house gives you. And
I've kind of taken that and uh and run with it.
(29:05):
And now I love the 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 at my house. But I love design now.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
I'm I'm a fantastic interior true laughs.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
But I actually always says like, if he could go
back to school for anything, it would be in tier design,
Like if he if he were to have 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 love because it's
so not in line with, like I think, what anyone
would expect to you, including myself.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
So in twenty fourteen, I bought a condo. I bought
my first condo in Chicago, and I got it. The motherfucker.
We completely gutted it. And my my friend Gino, actually
he really knows what he's doing. But like after I
got it, I was like, fuck, I don't have any
I don't have, I don't have, but it's have nothing.
(30:03):
And I remodeled it and I picked all the design
choices and I put I put, I put panel brick
on the one wall, and then I did a different
color brick by the fireplace and granted countertops. Honestly, it was.
It was gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Is this your pitt next season?
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Do you see this place?
Speaker 2 (30:24):
I didn't. I think I sold it.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
I sold it before, like right before I went on
Bachelor in Paradise. The second I've.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Seen like some photos and videos from it.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
No, but the only well, I basically 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 he Yeah, I mean that's.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
How we learned. Yeah. I mean, you're a single guy
one bedroom. You know, I want a one bedroom New York.
That's about going one days to buy a one bedroom
in New York. So I, like you said, I'm gonna
fix it up, but the RESAI probably won't be great.
But I just wanted because that's why I want to
live eventually, my my weekend house.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Your weekend house. I was gonna say, we just talked
about how you're down in Tampa. He's coming back to
New York.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
No, 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 itch. I'm always to get
back to the city have some fun. I would love
to go up there and like have my own closet,
own stuff.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
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 do
you I guess what are you the most proud of?
Speaker 3 (31:45):
I would easily say that I'm most proud of the
foundation that we started and none 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 sixteen thousand
(32:07):
dollars 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, and now we're doing fourteen this year.
I mean, we're just growing and growing. Next year, we're
already trying to do twenty and we're trying to find
(32:31):
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 that 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 and comes like forty thousand
dollars and these you know, these these parents and it's
(32:53):
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.
Like we're gonna have a barbecue at my house June
first with all the kids and we're have like one hundred,
one hundred people there for them. And it's like it's
(33:13):
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. It's something I'll be proud
of when I'm done.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
See I would have said Calvin Klein, but no, that's awesome.
And you do you guys, you have a gala every year, right.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
Yeah, we have a gala every year. We're doing a
Mother's Day brunch coming up May nineteenth. It'll be like
one hundred bucks and we're gonna have a big brunch party.
It's always a blast when we do those. But the
gall will be again October eleventh, so that'd be a
lot of fun. So that's definitely the one thing I'm very,
very proud of.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Do you like it?
Speaker 3 (01:01):
I love it? I love it. It's I needed something.
I mean, Joe saw me and some of my craziness.
I needed something that was like a nine to five.
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.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Okay, and that's what you grew up in Jupiter.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
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 so nice.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
I'm going to Bradington on Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Yeah you're on the wrong coast.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Yeah, I say, I don't think those are.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
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.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
When I get my house done, i'll have you guys.
I have like a guest room now for y'all. We'll
have everything set up. I'll finbably have my first like
big boy house. I'm excited. So I'm almost down a renovations.
But to have you guys when you guys are ready
to get out of the cold.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Okay, we're always looking to go to Florida, are you?
Did you buy a house and then gut it? Are
you building a house from scratch?
Speaker 3 (02:05):
I bought it and gutted it.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Okay, yeah, okay, nice? Yeah yeah. Wow, we're stucking to
six hundred and fifty square foot New York, New York apartment.
You know what that's like?
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Oh yeah, I love the city. That's the best place
in the world. But I just had nothing going on
for me up there. I was just a maniac and
I couldn't do it anymore.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
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?
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Yeah, this is kind of something that we've been and
then making as 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 real reality world. Let's put all together.
(02:59):
And we started pitching this show like twenty twenty, twenty nineteen,
and then we sold it or then we got a
production company, went to shoot the Shizzle reel in twenty
twenty 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 eighteenth.
It's all coming together like excited, excited, excited, excited.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
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 finally coming to life.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Yeah, I mean it's been It's been a lot. It's
been a lot ups and downs, Like 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 was the hardest thing I've
ever put myself through. And after doing it all, I
(03:53):
was like, all right, I want more. So I've I've
been running any more houses. I got more products in
front of me now. So it's been good.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
And you're so before you went on The Bachelor, you
were in construction. How much experience did you have?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Not much? So my dad. I grew up around and
my dad was a GC, so he would bring me
to the jobs, but he would never let me do
anything on the jobs. I was at the 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 getting into the business
(04:30):
and I started building my first house through him, and
he was paying me like two hundred bucks a week.
It was miserable. And that's kind of how the whole
Bachelorette things 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. Send
it to my buddies as a joke, and like, this
is hilarious. See what's we can sign up for. I
(04:52):
found the Bachelorette application, did the same thing and wrote
like crazy shit in there, sent crazy pictures and they
were the first one to call me back.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
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.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
I mean, you didn't even apply. You had to fill
out like a survey.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Do you remember that huge survey you have to 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 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
(05:44):
people on this podcast, like this is what you wrote
about you.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
That would be a great segment, honestly, Yeah, that.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
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.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Like I thought this was going in the other direction.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
I thought I was gonna be like, who are you
most excited about? It's like, who do you wish you cut?
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Oh? Man, that's that's that's a question. No one's asked yet. Joe, Well,
I would love to cut. No, I don't think there's
anyone that I would have wanted to cut. Like, you know,
let's start with Jason, because he's a finance guy. Those
those guys driving me crazy numbers, you know, call him
(06:37):
about some issueses like, ah, here we go, you know, so.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
So so funny.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Now the next Now I put myself in a predicament
with the.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Yeah, who you burying and who you pordicating?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
So we have Matt and Rachel, which could be interesting threesome.
Oh we got yeah Hannah, But but no, Hannah was
great and like it was like 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
really I needed a designer, and she had a pass
in design, and uh, I was like, do I call her?
(07:14):
Like I know that you know the way we're doing
the house for She loves the Bachelor. That's how she
found me. She loves Hannah, talks about her all the time.
I was like, even if Panna's design is not that great,
she should be so happ because hannahs in the house. Yeah,
and give to Hannah. She she delivered. She uh, she
over delivered and the design was a credible, incredible we executed.
(07:37):
She was great to work but it was fun. So
you know, uh, I've already been married to Matt and
just for to cause chaos.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Let's say, Mary, wait, so can you clarify then, what
is the role of your guests that are coming on
this show? Like I for some reason, I was under
the impression that you were to be doing a house
for Jason. But you're saying Hannah's coming on as a designer,
so kind of what role is everyone?
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Yes, so Hannah comes on as a designer. We need
the last minute and I caught on to her and
she was able to ask 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 man and Rachel alread to eat and hang out.
So that's kind of what they did. They came to
the gala, they came to the friends giving party, they
(08:27):
came to the house reveal from my mom's house.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
So gotcha. So everyone's coming in playing.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Yeah there's more. They 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 for my mom's
house gala, so it was all to this stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Gotcha.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
So everyone's kind of coming in with their own special
niche and like contributing in different ways to the show exactly.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
So how much of the show would you say, is
like I guess like documentary reality style, then how much
of the show is rebuilding homes?
Speaker 3 (09:03):
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, you hit play, watched it 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.
But I think it's cool about our show is like
you got you get an intro of whose house we're
(09:24):
doing in the beginning and in the middle you get
to see like a reality doc, you storyline throughout the
whole show, and then at the end you get the reveals.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Again, gotcha, how did you decide like what houses you
were going to do?
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Whose houses? And then you said you did nine? How
did you settle on that number?
Speaker 3 (09:43):
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.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
And also they don't have so it's on you all
that stuff.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
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 budgets
that I was like, I have to make these. I
have to basically win these clients over, Like why are
you gonna 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
(10:17):
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, 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
(10:37):
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, you know what, let's let's surprise my
dad and renovate his home. And we kicked him out
of the house for five week, for five days, and
he had no idea. We did a complete clipping his home.
It was awesome.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Wow, that's amazing. What do you feel like you learned
most from doing the show?
Speaker 3 (10:59):
So 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 production team, a and then work
with clients and you work with the town. 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
(11:23):
try and you know, it's it's really the starts of
a company.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Now, yeah, that's that's that's what I'm getting. And that's uh,
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
in seeing you.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Actually, our first project was a thirty thousand dollars project
and we really can't do much with that. And that's
told you know, my partner's Robin jass 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.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Well, wait, when you say thirty thousand dollars project, what
do you mean? So that's your budget on doing what.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Our budget we had to do. We basically had to
do three rooms and that's that's renovating. That's when we
had We had actually forums, we had to do the
five rooms. We had to closet bathroom, primary bedroom, well closet,
primary bathroom, primary bedroom, guest bedroom, and uh and then
they're outdoor entertainment area. Yeah, so we're touching a lot
(12:23):
of rooms. Only we didn't touches in the kitchen and
living room, everything else got renovated, and so it was
a lot of work and like and then you see
like in the bathrooms, like we completely transformed the bathroom,
We transformed their closet, made this like beautiful makeup alcove
for Ashley, and just so many really cool things that
we did to try and you know, really get the
most bang for our buck out of that thirty dollars
(12:45):
budget we.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Had nice I know, 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 in
putting your hard work in this and then potentially worried
that like the show might not get made.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
No. I was always confident in that. I was always
confident we're going to have a show and we're going
to do it. I was just the only thing I
was scared of, is am I going to delay this
show so longer? Am I gonna too much money here?
You know what I mean? So that was my fears.
I always had confidence on their end. It was more
confidence on mind that we were going to be able
to deliver for them.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Got it?
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Gotcha? How many episodes are there?
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Eight episodes?
Speaker 2 (13:31):
And do they come out like one a week?
Speaker 3 (13:33):
It comes out all at once. So the April eighteen,
you get every single episode on Prime video.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
You can benge it.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Everybody nice, nice, which I think we all enjoy a
little bit of binge TV. So I think it'll be exciting.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
That's all we do.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
We do. We're big TV beingers, So we'll crush your
show in two days.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Yeah, that's what I need.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Okay, So then let's let's pivot over to OnlyFans.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Yeah, yeah, what happened there?
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Yeah's sorry about that.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
So OnlyFans. So that was so we shot this video
because so in Jupiter there is a legend Burt Reynolds.
He is like Twitter's guy. You know, he lived in
Jupiter for a long time.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Love Burt Reynolds.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Yeah, we have the I didn't know that the.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Burn Renolds Amphitheater. We have many Burt Reynolds parks. And
he's someone always a up to And I was like,
and my uncle want you know, he's been a pain
in my ass on this show and you guys are
going to see he just is the banking 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
(14:46):
sixteen plus ceilings. So we're doing it and he's like, oh,
and I wanted to get a nice piece of art
right there, and like went off my heads, like, oh,
I got a piece of art for you, you know, And
so I, uh, I was like, let's let's shoot this
picture and I'll just I know, it'll just like I
was thinking it was going to piss them off. You know.
You guys have to watch the see to see his reactions.
(15:06):
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 uh doing the Burt
Rentals 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 second.
(15:28):
We thought everyone everyone like on my home renovation product.
I was like, show us a different kind of reveal.
So I was like, okay, So then we'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.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
I would say, I saw your TikTok actually like yesterday
where you were talking about the girl that was on
your flight.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Oh my god, that was like making such a scene.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Wait what happened? What happened?
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Serena? I was mortified, So so Joe.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
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.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
So Joe, it's like ten thirty at night, our flight's
already laid three hours. You know how everyone kind of
forged 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 Todle Cameron and 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
just like being alive. And then she starts going to everyone,
do you know who that is? That's how, camera, that's how,
(16:34):
And everyone's kind of like, that's the worst no, I
don't know who that is. I was like, just keep
me on this plane immediately.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
And then yeah, You're like I love that you know
who I am and this is so nice.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
But no one else here knows who I am or cares.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
I'm so embarrassed on the plane, and so I started
kind of creeping to the line to get away. And
then she goes, oh my god, for god, you have
only fans and she's like he's had only fans guys.
I'm like, oh no, no. And then I'm like, I
like go down with the jetway. And as I'm like
like sitting waiting to get on the plane, some guy,
older guy with like eight year old son, he goes, great, man,
(17:10):
now you got my eight year old kid asked me
what OnlyFans is? This is so bad.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
You're like.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Yeah, yeah. I was like, I was like, son, you
don't have to worry about only fans for many many years.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Do you think you think when your dad watches the show,
he is going to be impressed with your construction skills
at this at this level?
Speaker 3 (17:33):
I think so I think what schools? 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 it, you know, and like a
lot of it you'll see is like me trying to
get his approval because he's been in this industry for
so long and you kind of want to prove like
I can do this too, you know, I don't. You know,
I don't. We got an argument as the post, I
(17:54):
don't need you. I can figure this out, you know,
because he wanted to be on top of me, always
hovering over, Like I remember even no one of the
houses and changed out the niche that we put in
the bathroom, and and then then the owner came back.
He's like, no, no, no, that's not the niche I wanted.
I changed it again. You know. I'm just like, Pops,
you can't be doing this stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
I get it. I mean my dad's the same way.
And I when I got back into the the produce business,
I started working for him and yeah, I was making
three hundred bucks a week and he was thrown out
of chokes at my head.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
So yeah, not great, not great. It's best to be
just bothering son and not COVID.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Yeah, working with your parents.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Is no, it's hard.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
It's challenging.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
I can imagine it is there like an episode our
part of the show you're most excited for people to
get to see.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
I think episode eight, the last episode, is definitely like
gonna be a great episode for everyone to get to
can It's cool because like the whole show streamed, like
like the storyline is renovating my mom's house, and then
we all see it episode eight, so you getits pieces
of it due out, and then episode eight is the
reveal and you also get the Hannah design too that episode.
(19:02):
But the episode 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 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 finally renovated. It's it's like the
(19:25):
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 specially it's a
great episode, and I just I think that's the one
that really makes this whole series together and just makes
it a great series.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
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.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Is that part of the show.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Do you get to kind of too, we get you
guys 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, uh, it'll be exciting to share all that.
I kind of show you, like what we have going
on in Jupiter and and then you guys kind of
understand why I am in Jupiter now don't really want
to be anywhere else.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
You're going to have so many people moving to Jupiter
being like, hey, Tyler, can you renovate my house?
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Yeah, I've already gotten some of those, so I really
got business in front of us.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Well, are you are you planning on doing any Renolds
Reynolds outside of Florida?
Speaker 3 (20:27):
I think I would from outside of Florida would probably
be just for my own projects, rentals that I would
want to create for myself.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
And would you and and that, like, how do you
feel about the Airbnb game of it all.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
I love it. I love it. I turned to my
properties from the show into Spike short term rentals Airbnbs
and it's a fantastic investment. And I'm a super host.
You yeah, I love it. And it's a it's a
big job because I mean I'm responding to the people.
So it is like my partner, like my or my
(21:03):
help on it. It's you you really, I mean, the
customer is always right, you know. Like and like a
lady moved on the other day and she was like,
I need I need lawn chairs. I was like, well,
we don't really if 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,
(21:24):
but she was so sweet, so nice, and we delivered,
and like if what's what's two hundred dollars in lawn
chairs when you're making you know, three grand on the
on the house for that for that stay too, you know,
now you have it for the next guess 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,
(21:46):
you know what, at least now we have it for
the guests going forward. Yeah. Wow.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
And do you do you like do you pull 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?
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Do you do all that? I'm assuming I do all that,
So I'm always checking those numbers. I've kind of gotten
to like all the research of it all. And it's like,
once I finish my house, I'm gonna buy the next
one to turn into an Airbnb and such.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
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?
Speaker 2 (22:24):
AKA? What should we look for?
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Because you want to be by you want to be
by the coast? Yeah, I think people are going to
always it's there. It's their vacation place, you know. And
I think if you go, if you go buy Disney year,
you'll be fine because that's another big tourist attraction. But
you want to go where tourists are going. And and
my area is pretty much from Stuart all the way
(22:46):
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 buy the coast nice.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
So then is this like what's next for you?
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Like, are you like you're contracting, You're hoping the show
goes great, hoping for multiplemore seasons, hoping for more Airbnb's, Like,
is this what's next for Tyler?
Speaker 3 (23:18):
This is like my my future as like renovating constructions,
you know, construction, building homes like I got we're doing
two in Jacksonville right now. I got two more spec
homes we're about to break around on. I got a
house for sale right now. I'm finishing my house and
then I'm trying to buy another property to turn into
a rental.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Wow, you're busy.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Good, Yeah, I need people. Joe saw me when I'm
not busy and it's not good.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
For listen, no judgment. I'm still not busy, So we're good.
When we talk about reality TV, how a Special Forces.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
It was it was a beast man, It was a
of hell and h but it was also one of
the most transformed, transformative and amazing experience as 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. That's because I gotta when you're when you're
stripped to just who you are and you have nothing
(24:17):
to brag about, talk about it, just but real life
matters that you get to really know and learn about people.
And I got to really understand Nick Moore and really
learn about Jojo, and and now we're all like it's
it's like a little family is great.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
I feel like I saw a TikTok that Jojo is
gonna like name a kid after you or something.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
I know Eddie and Teddy, so I might get a
middle name somewhere.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Okay, how do you feel about that?
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Love it? Love it. I'll be the cool uncle for sure.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
There you go. That's so funny.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Nice. Yeah that show. Yeah, that show.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
Looks looks you said you would do it.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Yeah, I would do it if they asked me. But
I mean, I don't know if they're gonna ask.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
But I've had many people call me like, you know,
that's been cast to do it, possibly, And I'm like
it's it's hurts, it's I mean, I've never been so
much pain and soreness in my life because they don't
push you just as far as everyone else is being pushed.
They pushed you individually as.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Far as I wondered that.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Yeah, and it's just intense and like, yeah, I may
be stronger than someone, but they're gonna get me to
my my biggest weaknesses. You know. Uh. It was incredible.
And the the DS, the staff that's in charge just
badass and that they motivate the hell of you. They
push you. They're amazing cool.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Would you is there any other reality show that you
would do as far as like another compet would you
ever do like Survivor or anything like that, like Traders?
Speaker 3 (25:41):
I think I would die on Survivor. I think like
the when I'm hungry and the biggest wind there is
and I feel like they're just always hungry. So I
don't know how that how good I would do on that?
Traders look pretty cool, I got, I got, yeah, that
was cool. I would be so bad because I'm I'm
like too nice and too like just like I don't
(26:02):
I don't lie, I don't do any of that stuff
like I would just they were just like, yeah, this
get's done.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
You know, only you have you like in order to
be on those shows that you you have to you
have to be able to lie and manipulate or you're done.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Unless you're not a trainer. Then you're just honest.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
You're like, yeah, I'm not a trader, And what happened
when you're a trainer?
Speaker 2 (26:19):
You're screwed and.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Giggling the whole time. But yeah, this fucking.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Idiot, how is dating life? We have to ask?
Speaker 3 (26:29):
It's good. It's I think the way I've like this
last year, like going through this show and being back
home in Jupiter, really changed the way I look at
dating and what I want to do, Like I've not
gonna lie. I think I've brought up the most from
like thirty to thirty one that I have in like
the last five years. And I think I've learned, like,
(26:49):
you know, I want to have these responsibilities to having
these big businesses and and and trying to grow these things,
and you can't be doing the crazy dumb stuff and
you got to learn to settle and be content with
where you our 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
(27:10):
really good for me? Where now I kind of you know,
I'm home now I'm I'm dating in Jupiter. I'm like,
I'm trying to meet people that are that I relate
to and relate with and are part of working and
our 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,
(27:31):
And it's just kind of made me zone in on
like what's more important than what just glitters?
Speaker 4 (27:36):
Yeah, well, dating I feel like in Jupiter has to
be different than dating in New York for.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Sure, for sure, and it's probably the best thing for me.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Yeah, yeah, not in a bad way.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
Okay, new York's like you're crazy for him, Like New
York had to be like I laughed because it was
just had to be totally insane.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
But yeah, I was gonna ask you, do you want kids?
Do you want a family?
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Yeah? I want like, I want like five kids. I
want to have a big family.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
I want to like, yeah, just get the house for
your for your five.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Kids, 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 a mack it out, make it
so it's the way I want to live in it.
And uh, and just kind of I'm really playing my
roots here in town. And and I would tell everybody,
like my ten year gold from here is like I
want to be the high school football coach, Like I don't.
(28:27):
This is the this is the life I want to live, simple, easy,
and uh, and I don't know, it's just I've kind
of just got back to being simple again. I would say, nice,
that's good.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Healthy. Do you how is your interior design skills?
Speaker 3 (28:42):
So it was it was not the strongest at the
beginning of the show. Thankfully we have people like Jessica
and then Hannah. Come on, I learned a ton from
and Jessica is 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
don't look based off what the house gives you. And
I've kind of taken that and uh and run with it.
(29:05):
And now I love the 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 at my house. But I love design now.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
I'm I'm a fantastic interior true laughs.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
But I actually always says like, if he could go
back to school for anything, it would be in tier design,
Like if he if he were to have 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 love because it's
so not in line with, like I think, what anyone
would expect to you, including myself.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
So in twenty fourteen, I bought a condo. I bought
my first condo in Chicago, and I got it. The motherfucker.
We completely gutted it. And my my friend Gino, actually
he really knows what he's doing. But like after I
got it, I was like, fuck, I don't have any
I don't have, I don't have, but it's have nothing.
(30:03):
And I remodeled it and I picked all the design
choices and I put I put, I put panel brick
on the one wall, and then I did a different
color brick by the fireplace and granted countertops. Honestly, it was.
It was gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Is this your pitt next season?
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Do you see this place?
Speaker 2 (30:24):
I didn't. I think I sold it.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
I sold it before, like right before I went on
Bachelor in Paradise. The second I've.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Seen like some photos and videos from it.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
No, but the only well, I basically 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 he Yeah, I mean that's.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
How we learned. Yeah. I mean, you're a single guy
one bedroom. You know, I want a one bedroom New York.
That's about going one days to buy a one bedroom
in New York. So I, like you said, I'm gonna
fix it up, but the RESAI probably won't be great.
But I just wanted because that's why I want to
live eventually, my my weekend house.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Your weekend house. I was gonna say, we just talked
about how you're down in Tampa. He's coming back to
New York.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
No, 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 itch. I'm always to get
back to the city have some fun. I would love
to go up there and like have my own closet,
own stuff.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
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 do
you I guess what are you the most proud of?
Speaker 3 (31:45):
I would easily say that I'm most proud of the
foundation that we started and none 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 sixteen thousand
(32:07):
dollars 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, and now we're doing fourteen this year.
I mean, we're just growing and growing. Next year, we're
already trying to do twenty and we're trying to find
(32:31):
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 that 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 and comes like forty thousand
dollars and these you know, these these parents and it's
(32:53):
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.
Like we're gonna have a barbecue at my house June
first with all the kids and we're have like one hundred,
one hundred people there for them. And it's like it's
(33:13):
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. It's something I'll be proud
of when I'm done.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
See I would have said Calvin Klein, but no, that's awesome.
And you do you guys, you have a gala every year, right.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
Yeah, we have a gala every year. We're doing a
Mother's Day brunch coming up May nineteenth. It'll be like
one hundred bucks and we're gonna have a big brunch party.
It's always a blast when we do those. But the
gall will be again October eleventh, so that'd be a
lot of fun. So that's definitely the one thing I'm very,
very proud of.
