AI GeneratedThe speaker discusses the contrasting support from their parents, specifically addressing their mother's claims about their mental health by citing three successful psychiatric evaluations. They also reflect on the intense emotional bonding and vulnerability experienced with teammates during a challenging jungle experience and express openness to future opportunities in reality media.
Your dad spoke out, saying how proud he is of you.
I mean, you know, while your mom is kind of,
you know, making claims about your mental health,
what do you think?
You know, on one hand, your dad is saying he's proud of you,
and you have your mom saying something is just not right.
Where are you with this?
Well, you know, the crazy thing is, like I've said before,
it's the same old thing that she's saying.
First and foremost, I want to say thank you to my father.
He's always had my back. He's always backing me up.
He's the one who's been there for me.
And secondly, you know, my mom has said
these things time and time again.
And the nice thing
is I've gotten multiple psychiatric evaluations done.
So many, many times, three times, I actually have three
independent psychiatric evaluations that have been completed.
I've passed all of them, obviously.
And all I have to say is maybe it's time for someone else to get them.
has that made you feel more confident knowing
that you have been deemed totally fine well you
know that i always knew
and i always knew that i wasn't the one um that was in the wrong so
doing that was just like here it's on paper now
but i always knew and unfortunately even alongside
that uh my mom still makes these claims
and if this is the only thing that she can come after
me for and i've gotten multiple uh evaluations done
then i guess she has nothing to come after
me for right yeah it's it's unfortunate
but um you know we want parents that support us and that
you know do the best for their children
but she's unfortunately done the opposite
is there any reason why you took three uh well i did one
for special forces and then i did one
um i did two others uh surrounding the military
so so special forces was kind of like the nail
in the coffin like okay yeah and the military
because you can't get in unless you pass right
so i've done two uh with them as well
so was there a moment in the jungle that kind of cemented
everyone's like like like relationship
because i know it's like moments was like the toughest
and you're like oh my god and then like well there
was a lot of defining moment there was a lot of
moments like that but for me honestly
because we were doing something so wild and so like every
every day there was a fear that we had to face
and there's not many times in your life that you
get a chance to face certain fears
and see what you're made of yeah and see what you're really
made of so like we became super vulnerable
and open with each other like almost immediately
and i remember david because his cot was right next to mine
and we would all sit around and he
would like pose this like he was like
the conversation sparker he really were yeah he
was the one that was like would really ask us questions
to really talk about you know our
deepest darkest things and it was like
that made us really really close yeah it was like day two
and then david's like all right tell me something
about yourself or tell us something you know deep
and people would just go,
open up, like, immediately.
Just full emotion,
full vulnerability.
People were, like, crying
and, like, all this stuff.
No way.
Tears and all.
Literally so many tears.
I always say, like,
I don't think I've ever met
a group of individuals
in that short of a time span
and been that vulnerable
and that, like,
emotionally open with them
in such a short amount of time.
100%.
And it really was so healing
and just so amazing.
That is amazing.
So what's next?
Shoot.
Yeah.
I don't know.
We're going to have to see.
I mean, this is my first time
doing some reality stuff,
so I'm curious to see
if there's any other opportunities.
Shout out Amber, by the way.
She's killing it on Dancing with the Stars,
repping for the skating community.
So big shout out to her.
Make sure everybody's voting.
But, yeah, I don't know.
We'll have to see where the cars are going to be for me.
What about you?
And Colin?
I just want to keep whatever I can do to spread my message
and keep talking about the things that need to be talked about.
That's what's next for me.
Well, we appreciate it, guys.
Thank you so much for your time.
Thank you so very much.
Enjoy dinner.
Yes, I will.
