Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome, Welcome to Big Bro Club. Uh, this is wild.
So we have actually been granted an interview with Riley Jeffries.
We're about to patch him in.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
We are the only show that is allowed to do
press for Riley.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Rob has a podcast, wasn't allowed to talk to him
all and hold your news outlets.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Yeah, but they said the reason that they said that
we were allowed to is because, and I quote, no
one listens to that shit anyway. So thank you.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Well, I'm just glad we get to do it at all.
So let's go ahead, let's patch him in. Riley Jeffries
is on the line with us. Riley, thank you so
much for being on the show.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Oh what's up? Good? Wait a second, hold on. I thought, uh,
I thought this was actually just FaceTime. You just said
it was a show. What am I doing? Oh?

Speaker 1 (00:48):
This is an exit interview. I thought that you were
aware of what we were doing.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Oh uh, I don't know if I agreed to do
that kind of situation or anything, but I mean it's
I'll stay, I'll stay. I thought this was just like
a zoom thing or something. Okay, well, you.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Know that seems to be that seems to be a
habit for you, Riley, Why do you keep going on
shows and thinking no one's watching.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
No, no, Like, I just I keep thinking, you know,
this would be a fun situation for for Riley. So
I just hop on and next thing I know, you know,
I'm riding the show out. And so you call yourself Riley.
You speaking the third person only when I feel like
it's necessary.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
So I think that's a good thing to touch on,
is that when you did the interview, you know, how
like you got voted out and then they brought you
out on the stage with Julie Chin mun Bez and
and she brought up how you had said to Catherine
you wanted to marry her and you did. You weren't
aware that we had all heard that. You didn't know
that we were we were hearing everything you were saying. So,

(01:52):
I mean, is there anything you'd like to apologize for
saying while you're in the house. No, Okay, Well that
clears that up. Chase, do you have any any questions
for Riley about in that interview?

Speaker 3 (02:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:07):
I mean, look, and it's been well reported that you
left the Big Brother House expecting to be America's favorite.
You thought you were gonna get a big reaction. You
had an interview with Julie, just like how every contestant
does right after they get eliminated, and then apparently they
pull you into some sort of situation room they explain

(02:27):
to you all of the controversies in Mayhem that has
been happening.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
While you're in the house.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
And basically what we want to know is, how does
it feel knowing that Taylor Swift is getting married to
Travis keller Man.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
Let me tell you it's it's kind of the whole
reason that I was so hooked on the whole marriage situation.
I'd been thinking about Trap and Tay. You know, when
are they gonna get married? They ride that bull into
the sunset? So I think yes.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
So is that the big reason that you were so
obsessed with Catherine is because you wanted to beat Travis
Kelcey at marrying a blonde woman?

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Oh? I thought you said I just wanted to beat
Travis Kelsey. Now it's gonna be like, yeah, that's for
sure what I was thinking. Because if I could have Tay,
I would I'd take her, But I just don't know who.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
I thought you'd do anything for Catherine though, I mean
Catherine when you want to marry, right, I.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
Have multiple prospects at one time. Most of the time,
Catherine was just the prospect while on you know, the Circle.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
So wait, you were you also on the Circle?

Speaker 3 (03:32):
Or were you?

Speaker 1 (03:33):
Were you just on Big Brother? Because we were watching
you on Big Brother?

Speaker 3 (03:37):
Oh? Uh? Was that?

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Was that? What?

Speaker 3 (03:41):
Hold on? Hold on, let's cat, we can I let's
just let's just move on. Okay.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
My next question, it's what everyone wants to know. Do
you think that you acted inappropriately towards Catherine while in
the Big Brother House?

Speaker 3 (03:57):
No? No, no, no, no. Man. Look, here's the thing, Catherine.
The whole time, I was thinking, Catherine, you're not gonna
break up with me in the house. That's what I
kept thinking, right, like, you're not gonna actually break up
with me. And you know, some would say, she never
did break up with me in the house.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Riley, So you're saying that your behavior was okay just
because you knew she wouldn't break up with you.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
How is that a kapt Yeah? Yeah, yeah, Well I
feel like most of the time when people have like
actual couple problems, you know, they if it ends in
a breakup, then you know it's actually really bad. But
since I'm gone and it can't really end, then that's
not on me, you know, like that's like more perthletic.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Well, I do have another question about Catherine. Since you left,
have you been watching the live feeds, because if you
want to, you can pull her up at any time
and see what she's saying.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I watch them. I watch them.
So I mean I watch them. I'd say all day.
You know, I have a couple of TVs running at
a time, you know, and I just want to make
sure she's not up to anything crazy, you know, because
I don't know if she knows this. But did you
guys know that, you know, Big Brothers twenty four to seven?

Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yeah, we did know that though one hundred and thirteen cameras,
one hundred and fourteen microphones or something like that.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
Which is I mean, Riley, I mean, this is one
of the reasons you're getting some criticism. I knew about
the twenty four to seven live feed stuff and I
wasn't even a fan of Big brother.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
You got on the show and you didn't know about it.
How is that possible? Well, I mean, truthfully, like I
feel like there were several things they didn't hold up
there into the deal with right, Like I got on
the show, they filmed me for twenty four to five,
and the next thing I know.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
No, no, no, Riley, twenty four to seven. See this
is you're doing it again. It's not five days a week.
It's not just Monday through Friday that you're being recorded.
It's all seven days.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
And it's on Big Brother, not the Circle that's on Netflix.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
You were ONBS. Well, yeah, I kept saying Circle open
Chat and nothing would happen. And I just kept thinking,
maybe something's wrong with my microphone interface or something. But
you know, yeah, no, I didn't know about those extra
two days, but those are two days they could have.
I mean, here's the thing. It's like part of the
week you were there, Yeah, the camera right right, Like

(06:28):
it's it's a work week, right, Like That's what I
was thinking, is like I'm not working on the weekends.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
You know, because of Sunday being the Lord's Day, you
thought that maybe you could get away with saying some
stuff that wouldn't be said.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
That's what I thought, Like, I'd take a break from
saying those things on Sunday, say them on Saturday. But
then when the camera's running on the other five days,
then I might not say as much. I might say
some of it still, but not all of it. Not
everything I'm thinking. I mean, I guess I.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
Think you kind of did say everything you were thinking.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
And that's one of the problems. You might be surprised.
I didn't say everything I was thinking.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
So what was one of the things you were thinking
that you did not say while in the house, Like.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
The first you know, the first couple of days, I
was thinking, you know, for a nonprofit organization that promises
a big brother or a Big Sister club in America, like,
when are they going to actually give me a kid
that I can mentor? Oh, so you went into this thinking,
I mean, they never gave me a kid that I

(07:33):
could bring. Wait, you know you're you're twenty six, twenty
seven years old. Well, Catherine is twenty one. Yep. So
did you thought she might Yeah? I thought she might
be the little sister they were assigning me.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
Wait, so you wanted to marry your little sister and
you told her that she had no choice.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
I feel like you're getting caught in the weeds on
this whole thing. If I'm being honest, Bachman.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
This is okay, this is enough about you and Catherine,
enough about you and Kathin. Let's talk about your professional
bull riding career.

Speaker 4 (08:06):
Yeah, we've looked it up online and it appears that
although you have been writing bulls for a very very
long time, it would appear that as a professional bull
rid you don't have that much of a record.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Now zero dollars to your name.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
Well, I mean, first of all, I don't even know
where you were watching all this, Like did did they
put the bull riding on TV? Like? What is it? No,
it's on the internet.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Yeah, there's some stats from PBR H you know, Professional
bull Riding Association of America or whatever they call it.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
I like to consider myself kind of like the you
know how in wrestling you have a villain that might
not win all that much, Like that's good. I like
to think of myself that way in PBRs, like I'm
the PBR bad boy, you know, okay part of writing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's that's what they call me pretty much all the time.

(08:58):
I know they call me a bad boy when I
got arrested that one time.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
But that.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
What I mean.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
Since you brought it up, Riley, can we ask what
led to that? Why why you failed to appear in court?

Speaker 3 (09:13):
Uh? Well, you know, I I saw the word court
and I thought, I'm really more into marriage, so I
just wanted to just skip that part of it, so
I shouldn't.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
That is that honestly, you're connecting all the dots for us.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
I appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
And I wanted to ask if you knew that that
PBR was about bull riding or you just thought it
was about beer and you wanted to get into that.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
I thought it was a little bit of both, if
I'm being real. I thought, you know, I love good
pass every now and then you know, PBR is good
going down the hatchet, you know, and it makes it
makes a good time. But when I saw PBR, I thought, man,
I'll I'll join that every day of the week, and
so I went ahead and signed up. Next thing I know,
they were throwing me on a bull and I thought, well,

(10:01):
if you fulfill the other PBR, then I might do
okay with this.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
Have you ever drank a PBR on a bull?

Speaker 3 (10:07):
Yeah? I think most of them are.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
Man, I do have something I want to ask about
Catherine again. But Chase, do you have anything else that
you'd like to bring up before we circle back to Catherine.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
No, I mean I think he covered everything with the
whole you know, PBRs on a PBR, so I think
that's okay.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
So I would like to ask because I was up
late on Friday night. It was around four him and
I caught a scene on the live feeds that was
you and Catherine. You kissed, you hugged, It seemed like
everything's going great. The feed's cut out and then we
come back and you're crying in the shower and Katherine's
rubbing your elbows, like trying to make you feel better.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
Yeah. Well, you know it was a little too little,
too late, is what I say, because I actually, while
we're here in the shower, I said, hey, Kat, you know,
would you be into rubbing my elbow?

Speaker 1 (11:01):
So that's so you asked her to rub your elbows?

Speaker 3 (11:05):
Yeah? Hey yeah, I said, could you rub my elbow
while we're in here? As she said no, not right now,
and I was like, are you trying to like end
this thing with me? And I started crying real hard,
and next thing I know, she starts rubbing my elbow
to make up for it. And you know, people only
see one side of the story. All they see is
her caress in my elbow and think is she's a

(11:27):
good woman to me?

Speaker 2 (11:28):
But yeah, yeah, yeah, let me ask this.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
Let me ask this, because that's funny that you bring up.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
You know, people only see one side of it when
the one side is twenty four hours a day, seven
days a week, and we can see everything you say
and do. Do you still think that they are manipulating
the way that you came across?

Speaker 3 (11:45):
Yeah, I mean that's not that's not all the time, right,
Like twenty four to seven only covers a little bit.
It's about half the time in the week. Yeah, Like,
I mean, there's so much more than twenty four seventeen.
It's more like what's getting there?

Speaker 1 (11:59):
You know?

Speaker 3 (11:59):
That's getting there?

Speaker 2 (12:00):
Is?

Speaker 3 (12:00):
I keep telling people like, look, it's twenty four to seven,
but it's not every moment of my life, you know. Yeah,
there's so much more to me. Twenty four to seven
is more than twenty four to five, that's for sure.
Well yeah, and it's more than I bargained for personally.
But you know, at least with the twenty four to seven,
they're still not taking everything I am.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
You know, Well, I have one last question if that's okayd.

Speaker 3 (12:24):
I go for it. Let's hear.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
Do you think if you knew what you knew now,
would you still have gone on Big Brother?

Speaker 3 (12:32):
Well? I think so. I probably would have gone on.
I probably would have asked for a little more pay
for those extra two days of week, but it's you know,
other than that, I think it would have been a
good time, and you know, for what it's worth. I mean,
me and Catherine are still dating, you know, That's what
I keep really but she's still in the house though,

(12:52):
you but we didn't break up. See, That's what I
keep telling people is I was gone before it was over,
so I'm still technically on the hook.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
And I mean I watched the live feeds a lot,
so does Riley, and we both know that Catherine up
until yesterday had cried about him every day. Yeah, so
are you a little concerned that she didn't cry yesterday?

Speaker 3 (13:14):
I saw her not cry and I thought, m that's
kind of a red flag for me. She might she
might try to break up with me on the show
at this rate, but it's gonna be really hard with
me not there. See that's I was kind of ready
to go home, guys, So that we oh this thing
going for as long as possible.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
Right right, right, right, right right, all right, Riley, I
think we will let you go now. Thank you so
much for giving us your time and letting us ask
the hard hitting questions that have been on the mind
of America.

Speaker 3 (13:45):
Look, I'm just glad to talk about them and clear
them up. You know, I'm getting so much hate online
that it's unbelievable. I just at this rate, I think,
you know, maybe maybe I'll just stay on the podcast
just okay talking. You know, I was already so used
to extra time it days and giving it away, I
might as well just you know, settle into it.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
Well, if you're interested, would you like to come on
for our finale recap a Big Brother this year as
a guest at the end of.

Speaker 3 (14:12):
A man Let me tell you that would make my
day as long as Catherine is not are still together?
If not, it might be kind of a tough episode,
all right, Well TBD on that.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
All right, Thanks gentlemen, and for the BBC. This has
been PD in shape interviewing Riley Jeffries. We are signing

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
