Yeah, you're a media group. So the group, the Green Beret, Zach, Kowalks over, me and my friends were all on the couch sitting there and Zach walks in and he's like, where are the guys? I'm like, they went over marks. They're trying to bench press. He's like, that's awesome. So. Hey guys, episode 175. Feel like I look like Mickey Mouse right now. I don't know like with my hair. Pull back. I am so tired. Big sexy randomly came in and he just wants to like hang and I entertained him today and then went to the school. Book Fair is back. If you have kids in school now for the book fair, we've talked about this on episodes way back every year. I feel like when the book fair comes, but this year they had like a book fair party and my good friend at the school was in charge of the party. So I had to go and support her. We were all of us friends were going to be in trouble if we didn't go and support. Well, the kids like it. Oh, yeah, they loved it. We ate dinner there and the kids ran around. It's probably the most people I've ever seen at the book fair. Oh yeah, well that's good. It was good. Yeah, so did that and then rushed home and now we're here. Yeah, happy anniversary by the way. This is Monday. I know you guys are getting this on Wednesday, but today is Monday and it's 16 years to the day that you won big brother. Isn't that crazy? That is crazy. 16 years. That's crazy. That was so wild. You guys, I know a lot. Some people don't watch Big Brother because we have new followers here. And some have been following us from the very beginning. I totally forgot like I do every year. And it's just because I'm busy, like with the kids are just running around. I'm just not thinking about it. And everybody was sending me their Facebook memories that popped up. And it like made me feel good because you know from the last podcast episode everything's just like heavy. This this was one thing that like made me smile because it made me think of when I was 22 and just didn't even try out and then Bonnie found me and it completely totally changed the track of my life by going on the show and then like meeting you and then like I wouldn't have my kids if I didn't meet you on the show and it just brings back happy memories for me and just like the old school big brother. Yeah, it was a whirlwind. It was awesome back then. It was kind of the same. It was blur, like even that night, like I mean, I remember certain things,

but it was such a blur. You know what I mean? It was such a blur. Like getting out of the house was such a blur because you're, you know, I talk about this a lot and I talk about it if you do watch our bonus episode, which comes out on Thursdays, we talk a little bit more in depth on our time on Big Brother. We won't bother you here about it, but it's just because it is a special day in such a memorable moment in our lives, you know? Like what a great day. In 16 years, you won America's favorite. Yeah, I mean, remember that night? Like that, so we get out. I feel like we've never talked about like the behind the scenes. Now this was, I don't know how it is now. It seems so different. I honestly think now when the house guests come out, it's kind of sad.

Be. behind the scenes. Now this was, I don't know how it is now. It seems so different. I honestly think now when the house guests come out, it's kind of sad because when we got out, there was stadium seating. It was for a lot more people, remember that? Yeah. And it was a bigger audience now. The audience is the other way, like where we used to sit and it's kind of turned around.

It seems like no one is really in there. And when you get off, they always had like this big party. And I don't even think they do that. I think they still do that. They still do that. Like, but I think COVID ruined a lot of that the last couple years. I think they're back to that. Yeah, I mean, just, I mean, you're, again, for people who don't know big brother, it's filmed on a lot.

So it's not at a house. ruined a lot of that the last couple years. I think they're back to that. Yeah, I mean, just I mean,

you're again, for people who don't know big brother, it's filmed on a lot. So it's not at a house you're on a lot. And then I just I remember you get to bring one person there. You were in the finals. You get to bring two. And my brother came with my sister law, but only one could come to said a lot to CBS lot.

So my brother came and I just remember he brought all these magazines with him back

that 16 years ago.

He's like, do. but only one could come to the lot, the CBS lot. So my brother came and I just remember

he brought all these magazines with him back that 16 years ago. He's like, dude, you're in all these magazines. I'm like, and he brought them all and I was like, oh my God, that's so crazy. And remember we party didn't that they have a gym downstairs like for people like actors to work out in or something that gym and that's where the party was down there. and you couldn't take like two steps.

When people take in a picture,

or you're meeting somebody that was worked in production that you were talking to you all year long, but they were behind the scenes. It was just, it's so fast. So yeah, and I stayed up till 6, 30 in the morning that day. Then I couldn't even find you. It was the best, the best vibe. Everyone was excited for you. Everyone was cheering for everyone for the whole cast, not just me because I won that year. I mean, everybody was just excited to see everyone. No one was rude. There was no Instagram then. And people were just coming up and taking pictures.

I was like, what is going on?

And then they have like that bodyguard that was with you.

They had me a bodyguard.

And then, I didn't have a bodyguard.

Probably because I won somebody tried to steal me

for ransom.

Yeah, sure.

And then I had my mom and brother sitting with me. And then Bonnie, who found me from Big Brother, she came down and I wasn't expecting to see her. And she came and she sat with me and my mom and brother and I just kept hugging her. I was like, oh, this is all because of you, you know, because you saw something in me. And we't, so you still at that time don't have your phones

cause they take them away.

And you don't get them back for,
