[00:02:57] It is a beautiful, beautiful start to 2025, man

[00:03:00] Thank you for having me join you

[00:03:02] Absolutely, it's always a pleasure when we are on good terms

[00:03:06] Because we know the tide change every other day

[00:03:09] But that's what happens with brothers

[00:03:12] You get somebody like Wendell who get on your nerves constantly

[00:03:15] Hold on, Bryce

[00:03:17] It's New Year, new me

[00:03:19] I haven't gotten on your nerves this whole year

[00:03:25] That is a fact

[00:03:26] That absolutely is a fact

[00:03:29] There's been so much we have to catch up on

[00:03:32] At the last quarter of 2024

[00:03:35] We closed out the BWP Tour 47

[00:03:38] How was your holiday?

[00:03:41] Like, fill us in on what's been going on with you

[00:03:43] Oh, it was a great holiday

[00:03:46] Lauren, my big sister, came home

[00:03:48] So we had Wenny, Lauren, my mom and my dad

[00:03:52] We had a great Christmas

[00:03:54] A great New Year

[00:03:56] And just lots of laughs, lots of presents

[00:03:59] And it was a good time

[00:04:01] And we appreciate you stopping by

[00:04:03] And spending quality time with my little man

[00:04:07] And driving him around on that little box

[00:04:10] That you found I was supposed to throw out

[00:04:13] Any parent will tell you

[00:04:15] Why spend hundreds of dollars on these new fancy toys?

[00:04:20] I came over and Wendell's son and I

[00:04:24] We played in a box for two hours, okay?

[00:04:28] I had to spend no money, okay?

[00:04:29] We just played in a box

[00:04:31] So lesson to the parents out there

[00:04:33] Just wrap the boxes

[00:04:34] The kids don't know the difference

[00:04:35] But Bryce, the problem is this

[00:04:37] You drove him around on this box

[00:04:39] You were driving him around

[00:04:40] Then you started picking him up

[00:04:41] And doing all these things

[00:04:42] Oh, wow

[00:04:42] You leave

[00:04:44] And then all of a sudden

[00:04:46] I'm trying to do something in the kitchen

[00:04:47] When he shows up to the kitchen

[00:04:49] With his box

[00:04:50] Expecting me to do all those things that you did

[00:04:53] You his father

[00:04:54] I'm like, that's Uncle Bryce's job

[00:04:57] To drive you around

[00:04:59] But you know what?

[00:05:00] We appreciate Uncle Bryce

[00:05:02] That's the best part of being an uncle

[00:05:04] You can drive him around

[00:05:07] Drop him off

[00:05:08] And say, see ya

[00:05:12] But yeah

[00:05:13] Glad that you had an amazing holiday

[00:05:15] The holidays were actually really good for me

[00:05:17] I think sometimes

[00:05:20] With families

[00:05:21] The holidays aren't always good, right?

[00:05:24] You know, you get different dynamics together

[00:05:26] And it's an issue

[00:05:27] And I think for my family

[00:05:29] For a very long time

[00:05:30] The holidays have been plagued

[00:05:32] With not great times

[00:05:33] However, this year

[00:05:34] The holidays were really good

[00:05:36] Like we had a great time

[00:05:38] And I like had to call my mom

[00:05:39] And I was like

[00:05:40] We spend so much time

[00:05:41] Talking about the bad holidays

[00:05:43] That we don't actually

[00:05:45] Celebrate the good holidays

[00:05:47] And so

[00:05:47] My holiday with my family

[00:05:49] This year was like

[00:05:49] Very, very special

[00:05:50] And I'm very grateful

[00:05:52] For this holiday season

[00:05:54] And the Purple Pants Posse

[00:05:55] And all of the Bryce and Wynn

[00:05:58] Present supporters

[00:05:59] Tour 47 was epic

[00:06:02] Amazing

[00:06:05] Strenuous

[00:06:06] Bryce

[00:06:08] It was a great tour

[00:06:10] It was

[00:06:11] It was perfect

[00:06:12] It was perfect

[00:06:13] It was a lot

[00:06:14] It was more dates than we've ever

[00:06:15] Tried

[00:06:16] 10 dates

[00:06:17] Out of

[00:06:18] 14 episodes

[00:06:19] Which is usually

[00:06:21] 10 dates out of

[00:06:22] Which could be

[00:06:23] 10 dates out of

[00:06:24] 13 episodes

[00:06:24] But we had the

[00:06:25] Two-part finale

[00:06:25] So 10 dates out of

[00:06:26] 14 episodes

[00:06:27] That's a lot

[00:06:28] We usually do 8

[00:06:30] My buddy Bryce

[00:06:31] And I

[00:06:32] And Joey

[00:06:33] And Hatch

[00:06:35] We got it done

[00:06:37] We did it

[00:06:39] Sometimes

[00:06:39] In order to see

[00:06:41] Your future

[00:06:41] You have to go

[00:06:42] Back into the past

[00:06:45] How would you describe

[00:06:48] The start

[00:06:49] Of your 2024

[00:06:52] The start of my

[00:06:53] And let's also

[00:06:53] Just remember

[00:06:54] This is a safe space

[00:06:56] A safe podcast

[00:06:57] You could be honest

[00:06:59] Because I think

[00:07:00] You know

[00:07:00] Being transparent

[00:07:01] Sometimes

[00:07:02] Is really helpful

[00:07:04] When you think about

[00:07:05] The process

[00:07:05] Of things

[00:07:06] Okay

[00:07:07] The start of my

[00:07:09] 2024

[00:07:10] I was in a

[00:07:11] State of flux

[00:07:12] It was

[00:07:13] A little tumultuous

[00:07:15] There was

[00:07:17] A lot of

[00:07:17] Uncertainty

[00:07:19] It was difficult

[00:07:21] You know

[00:07:21] It was difficult

[00:07:22] Things were changing

[00:07:25] In my personal life

[00:07:27] Things were changing

[00:07:29] Again

[00:07:30] It was difficult

[00:07:31] And there was

[00:07:31] A lot of uncertainty

[00:07:32] At the beginning

[00:07:33] Of 2024

[00:07:35] For sure

[00:07:36] Being

[00:07:36] One of your

[00:07:37] Closest friends

[00:07:38] Definitely

[00:07:39] The end

[00:07:39] Of 2023

[00:07:40] The beginning

[00:07:41] Of 2024

[00:07:41] Was definitely

[00:07:43] Not an easy

[00:07:43] Time to be

[00:07:44] Your friend

[00:07:44] Like you never

[00:07:45] Want to see

[00:07:45] Your friend

[00:07:46] Struggling

[00:07:47] You never

[00:07:47] Want to see

[00:07:47] Your friend

[00:07:48] Down

[00:07:48] I feel like

[00:07:49] Sometimes

[00:07:50] As a support

[00:07:51] System to people

[00:07:52] My job is

[00:07:52] To show up

[00:07:54] Be my crazy

[00:07:55] Self

[00:07:55] Be annoying

[00:07:56] The one thing

[00:07:57] That I think

[00:07:57] Really is important

[00:07:59] And we don't

[00:08:00] Often talk about

[00:08:00] It a lot

[00:08:01] Is our faith

[00:08:02] Right

[00:08:02] I think

[00:08:03] That faith

[00:08:04] Is something

[00:08:05] So important

[00:08:06] I think

[00:08:06] That having

[00:08:08] A deep rooted

[00:08:09] Faith in something

[00:08:10] Can really get you

[00:08:11] Through those

[00:08:12] Tough times

[00:08:12] And I think

[00:08:14] I bring up

[00:08:16] Faith because

[00:08:18] Do you remember

[00:08:19] The phone call

[00:08:20] You got

[00:08:20] On Christmas

[00:08:23] 2023

[00:08:26] 2023

[00:08:27] 2023

[00:08:28] In the midst

[00:08:28] Of your

[00:08:29] Of your storm

[00:08:30] You got a

[00:08:31] Phone call

[00:08:31] On Christmas

[00:08:32] 2023

[00:08:33] Do you remember

[00:08:37] Would you like

[00:08:37] For me to share

[00:08:40] Yeah

[00:08:41] Well sure

[00:08:42] Well first

[00:08:42] Let's go back

[00:08:44] Wendell's home

[00:08:45] At one point

[00:08:46] In time

[00:08:46] Wendell was

[00:08:47] In the dungeon

[00:08:48] I don't know

[00:08:48] Why he put

[00:08:49] His bedroom

[00:08:49] In the basement

[00:08:50] I never liked

[00:08:51] It in the basement

[00:08:51] And when Wendell

[00:08:53] Was going through

[00:08:53] Some things

[00:08:53] He'd be spending

[00:08:54] A lot of time

[00:08:55] In the dungeon

[00:08:55] And one day

[00:08:57] I got a call

[00:08:58] From Wendell

[00:08:58] Actually it was

[00:08:59] On Christmas

[00:08:59] And Wendell

[00:09:01] Was crying

[00:09:02] And I'm like

[00:09:02] What's wrong

[00:09:03] Who I gotta fight

[00:09:04] Do you remember

[00:09:05] This phone call

[00:09:07] No I remember

[00:09:09] A call on my

[00:09:09] Birthday

[00:09:10] Oh maybe it was

[00:09:11] Your birthday

[00:09:12] Okay

[00:09:12] Christmas

[00:09:13] Your birthday

[00:09:14] The same thing

[00:09:15] I mean listen

[00:09:16] Jesus' birthday

[00:09:17] Is Christmas

[00:09:21] Okay

[00:09:22] I remember

[00:09:22] A very important

[00:09:24] Call on my birthday

[00:09:25] My bad

[00:09:26] I was thinking

[00:09:27] About Jesus'

[00:09:28] Birthday

[00:09:28] On your birthday

[00:09:30] You were confusing

[00:09:31] Me and

[00:09:32] The man upstairs

[00:09:35] I wasn't

[00:09:36] Well I mean

[00:09:37] They did say

[00:09:38] He had

[00:09:39] Locks of wool

[00:09:40] And your hair

[00:09:41] His hair was wool

[00:09:42] He's a carpenter

[00:09:44] He was a carpenter

[00:09:45] I would not compare

[00:09:46] Myself to the man

[00:09:47] Upstairs

[00:09:49] However

[00:09:50] Your birthday

[00:09:51] Is in March

[00:09:52] Still the beginning

[00:09:53] Of 2024

[00:09:53] A relatively

[00:09:54] Rocky time

[00:09:55] For you

[00:09:55] And I remember

[00:09:56] Not Jesus' birthday

[00:09:58] But on your birthday

[00:10:00] You called me

[00:10:01] In the dungeon

[00:10:03] Crying

[00:10:03] And you were like

[00:10:05] And I was like

[00:10:05] What

[00:10:06] What

[00:10:06] What

[00:10:06] What

[00:10:07] What

[00:10:07] And what

[00:10:07] I was home

[00:10:08] Alone

[00:10:08] I was home

[00:10:09] Alone on my

[00:10:09] 40th birthday

[00:10:12] How old

[00:10:13] I was home

[00:10:14] Alone on my

[00:10:15] Second 20th birthday

[00:10:19] In that midst

[00:10:21] Of you

[00:10:22] Being in this

[00:10:23] Transitional place

[00:10:24] Not really happy

[00:10:25] Trying to figure out

[00:10:26] What your piece

[00:10:26] Is like

[00:10:27] In the midst

[00:10:28] Of that storm

[00:10:28] What was the

[00:10:29] Bright ray of sun

[00:10:31] That you got

[00:10:32] On your birthday

[00:10:33] Yeah

[00:10:33] That was crazy

[00:10:34] Cause

[00:10:34] We filmed

[00:10:36] The pilot

[00:10:36] For extreme

[00:10:37] In 2023

[00:10:38] In August

[00:10:38] And then

[00:10:41] I've done

[00:10:42] A lot of shows

[00:10:43] I've done

[00:10:44] Pilots

[00:10:44] You know

[00:10:45] I understand

[00:10:45] That it is

[00:10:46] Not easy

[00:10:47] For something

[00:10:48] To get through

[00:10:48] And we were

[00:10:50] Waiting on ABC

[00:10:50] To green light it

[00:10:51] And out of nowhere

[00:10:52] On my birthday

[00:10:54] They don't know

[00:10:55] It's my birthday

[00:10:56] The showrunner

[00:10:57] Calls me

[00:10:58] This is in March

[00:10:59] We filmed

[00:11:00] The previous

[00:11:01] The previous

[00:11:02] August

[00:11:03] This is in March

[00:11:04] And I get a call

[00:11:05] From the showrunner

[00:11:06] Saying that the show

[00:11:06] Is green lit

[00:11:07] On my birthday

[00:11:10] To God be the boy

[00:11:12] Okay

[00:11:13] And sometimes

[00:11:14] He may not show up

[00:11:15] When you want him

[00:11:16] But he'll be there

[00:11:18] Right on time

[00:11:18] And I am a firm believer

[00:11:20] In that God

[00:11:21] Will order your steps

[00:11:22] And everything

[00:11:23] Happens for a reason

[00:11:24] One of your lifelong

[00:11:26] Goals has been

[00:11:27] To host

[00:11:28] A show

[00:11:30] Like

[00:11:30] Extreme Makeover

[00:11:32] And along the way

[00:11:34] You have had your own

[00:11:36] Building furniture company

[00:11:38] You went on the show

[00:11:39] Survivor

[00:11:40] You've met a great friend

[00:11:42] Like me

[00:11:42] In that process

[00:11:44] Of you

[00:11:46] You know

[00:11:47] That's how

[00:11:47] That

[00:11:50] Listen

[00:11:51] That's how you do it

[00:11:52] Okay

[00:11:52] In that process

[00:11:54] Though

[00:11:54] Of you

[00:11:55] Filming

[00:11:56] And getting the pilot

[00:11:58] For Extreme Home Makeover

[00:12:00] Who was one of your

[00:12:01] Casting directors

[00:12:02] Oh that was crazy

[00:12:04] That was crazy

[00:12:07] My good

[00:12:10] My good buddy

[00:12:11] From Survivor

[00:12:12] Ghost Island

[00:12:13] Jacob Derwin

[00:12:15] Called me

[00:12:16] Saying

[00:12:16] Extreme is casting

[00:12:19] Hey Wendell

[00:12:20] They're looking for

[00:12:22] Hey Wendell

[00:12:24] They're looking for

[00:12:25] A hunky guy

[00:12:28] I want to throw

[00:12:29] Your name

[00:12:30] In the mix

[00:12:33] I'm like

[00:12:33] Jacob

[00:12:34] Thank you so much

[00:12:36] When I hear

[00:12:37] They're looking for

[00:12:38] A hunky guy

[00:12:38] I don't think

[00:12:39] That that is

[00:12:39] Exactly what

[00:12:41] That's not me

[00:12:43] Go ahead

[00:12:44] I knew you were

[00:12:44] Gonna hit

[00:12:45] I know that's not me

[00:12:46] I'm gonna just

[00:12:48] Put me out there

[00:12:49] I'm gonna do

[00:12:49] My best

[00:12:50] So please

[00:12:51] Put my name

[00:12:51] In the hat

[00:12:52] Jacob Derwin

[00:12:54] He was one of the

[00:12:55] People in casting

[00:13:00] I thank my buddy

[00:13:01] And this relationship

[00:13:03] We had for

[00:13:03] Thinking about me

[00:13:04] Because I did apply

[00:13:05] For this same position

[00:13:06] Five years prior

[00:13:09] Ended up going on

[00:13:10] Winners at War

[00:13:11] Instead of going to

[00:13:12] Final casting

[00:13:13] For Extreme

[00:13:13] For the last iteration

[00:13:14] Didn't think that would

[00:13:16] Come back

[00:13:16] And thankfully

[00:13:17] Jacob

[00:13:19] Jacob called me

[00:13:21] To throw my name in

[00:13:22] Amongst

[00:13:23] 42 other builders

[00:13:25] They said

[00:13:26] And again

[00:13:27] That's just

[00:13:28] Another testament

[00:13:28] To what is

[00:13:30] Meant for you

[00:13:30] Is going to be

[00:13:32] For you

[00:13:32] And you have to

[00:13:33] Go along

[00:13:34] Sometimes you make

[00:13:35] Decisions that

[00:13:36] You're like

[00:13:37] Should I've done

[00:13:37] This

[00:13:37] Should I've done

[00:13:38] That

[00:13:38] What is meant

[00:13:39] For you

[00:13:39] Is meant

[00:13:40] For you

[00:13:40] And it's

[00:13:41] So exciting

[00:15:45] That you

[00:15:48] Emotionally

[00:15:50] Physically

[00:15:50] While filming

[00:15:52] This season

[00:15:53] That you

[00:15:53] Weren't

[00:15:53] Necessarily

[00:15:54] Thinking

[00:15:55] Was going

[00:15:56] On this

[00:15:56] Journey

[00:15:57] Yeah

[00:15:58] Well

[00:15:58] One thing

[00:15:59] That I

[00:15:59] Didn't

[00:16:00] Think about

[00:16:02] The weather

[00:16:04] Our first

[00:16:05] Our first

[00:16:06] Well

[00:16:07] Shot all

[00:16:08] Over the

[00:16:10] Had to

[00:16:10] Shoot in

[00:16:11] Hurricanes

[00:16:12] We've

[00:16:13] Had to

[00:16:13] Shoot in

[00:16:13] Extreme

[00:16:14] Heat and

[00:16:15] Humidity

[00:16:15] That we

[00:16:16] Didn't

[00:16:16] Think

[00:16:16] Could get

[00:16:17] Hotter

[00:16:17] Then we

[00:16:17] Have to

[00:16:18] Shoot in

[00:16:18] Heat

[00:16:19] That would

[00:16:19] Be even

[00:16:20] Hotter

[00:16:20] Than that

[00:16:21] Degrees

[00:16:22] Phoenix

[00:16:23] Then we'd

[00:16:24] Have to

[00:16:24] Shoot in

[00:16:25] Heat

[00:16:25] And dust

[00:16:51] Happen

[00:16:58] Went

[00:16:58] Everywhere

[00:18:35] A house

[00:18:36] In six

[00:18:37] Months

[00:18:37] And I

[00:18:37] Thought that

[00:18:37] That was

[00:18:38] Fast to

[00:18:38] Build this

[00:18:38] Big beautiful

[00:18:39] House that

[00:18:39] We're giving

[00:18:40] Away for

[00:18:41] HGTV

[00:18:41] Smart Home

[00:18:42] Or something

[00:18:42] Like that

[00:18:43] In this

[00:18:43] Case

[00:18:44] We're

[00:18:44] Building a

[00:18:45] Beautiful

[00:18:45] House

[00:18:46] In three

[00:18:46] Days

[00:18:46] Moving

[00:18:47] Them in

[00:18:47] On the

[00:18:48] Fourth day

[00:18:48] And giving

[00:18:48] It to

[00:18:49] Them on the

[00:18:49] Fifth day

[00:18:51] That's

[00:18:51] Crazy

[00:18:52] What

[00:18:53] How did

[00:18:54] You leave

[00:18:54] The Wendell

[00:18:55] Holland effect

[00:18:55] In these

[00:18:56] Homes

[00:18:57] And with

[00:18:58] These families

[00:19:00] Well I

[00:19:01] I try to

[00:19:01] I try to

[00:19:02] Add my

[00:19:03] My personality

[00:19:04] Or a little

[00:19:04] Bit of me

[00:19:05] To everything

[00:19:06] And just

[00:19:07] Whenever you

[00:19:08] See me

[00:19:08] You'll know

[00:19:08] It's me

[00:19:09] On the show

[00:19:10] Like you'll

[00:19:10] See me

[00:19:10] In art world

[00:19:11] That's where

[00:19:12] We build

[00:19:12] Everything

[00:19:12] I have

[00:19:13] This incredible

[00:19:14] Build team

[00:19:15] That helps

[00:19:16] Bring everything

[00:19:17] To life

[00:19:17] Whether it's

[00:19:18] And of course

[00:19:20] They always

[00:19:21] Want some

[00:19:22] Kind of

[00:19:22] A custom

[00:19:23] Wendell

[00:19:23] Project

[00:19:24] Or something

[00:19:25] Cool

[00:19:26] In my case

[00:19:27] I'm thinking

[00:19:28] About ways

[00:19:28] To either

[00:19:30] Do something

[00:19:31] Special for the

[00:19:31] Family

[00:19:32] Something to

[00:19:32] Highlight

[00:19:33] What makes

[00:19:34] Them tick

[00:19:34] Or what they

[00:19:35] Love

[00:19:35] Or something

[00:19:36] Special for

[00:19:36] The children

[00:19:37] During the

[00:19:38] House tour

[00:19:39] Clea, Joanna

[00:19:40] Myself

[00:19:41] And Arian

[00:19:42] We'd walk

[00:19:42] Around and

[00:19:43] We'd look

[00:19:43] For nuggets

[00:19:43] It's like

[00:19:44] A treasure

[00:19:45] Hunt

[00:19:46] For you

[00:19:46] To kind

[00:19:46] Of understand

[00:19:47] What makes

[00:19:48] This family

[00:19:48] Tick

[00:19:48] You know

[00:19:50] This

[00:19:52] Child

[00:19:53] They might

[00:19:53] Like making

[00:19:54] Content

[00:19:56] This mother

[00:19:57] They might

[00:19:58] Like teaching

[00:20:00] Their children

[00:20:01] About their

[00:20:02] Culture

[00:20:02] And have a

[00:20:03] Cultural

[00:20:03] Wall or

[00:20:04] Something

[00:20:05] So we

[00:20:05] Look for

[00:20:06] Little things

[00:20:07] That make

[00:20:07] The family

[00:20:07] Tick

[00:20:08] This

[00:20:09] This

[00:20:09] Painting

[00:20:10] Might be

[00:20:11] So special

[00:20:12] To them

[00:20:12] How do

[00:20:13] Supersize

[00:20:14] This

[00:20:15] You know

[00:20:16] There are

[00:20:16] Little things

[00:20:17] So we'd

[00:20:18] Go on our

[00:20:19] Treasure hunt

[00:20:19] And I'd

[00:20:20] Look for

[00:20:20] Ways

[00:20:20] All right

[00:20:21] How can

[00:20:21] I as

[00:20:22] The builder

[00:20:23] How can

[00:20:24] I build

[00:20:24] Something special

[00:20:24] For the

[00:20:25] Family

[00:20:26] Make an

[00:20:27] Extra cool

[00:20:28] Awesome

[00:20:28] Reveal

[00:20:29] For the

[00:20:29] Family

[00:20:29] Whether

[00:20:30] It's

[00:20:30] Pressing

[00:20:31] A button

[00:20:31] And having

[00:20:32] Something

[00:20:32] Come out

[00:20:33] Of a wall

[00:20:33] Or shoot

[00:20:34] Up from

[00:20:34] The floor

[00:20:34] Or come

[00:20:35] Down

[00:20:35] From the

[00:20:35] Ceiling

[00:20:36] I was

[00:20:37] Able to

[00:20:38] Really

[00:20:39] Get creative

[00:20:39] And work

[00:20:40] With the

[00:20:41] Team

[00:20:41] To make

[00:20:42] Some awesome

[00:20:43] Reveals

[00:20:44] And that's

[00:20:45] How I

[00:20:45] Think that's

[00:20:46] How I

[00:20:46] Left my

[00:20:46] Mark on

[00:20:47] The show

[00:20:48] And leaving

[00:27:26] Because

[00:27:42] Knew

[00:28:23] look over and see them. It was just the best feeling in the world. I felt so good. I felt

[00:28:30] so supportive, so supported. My family, they've always supported me in my little sports. When I

[00:28:36] said, hey, I'm trying to go on this island. Y'all don't watch Survivor, but I'm trying to go on this

[00:28:41] show. They've always supported me. And for them to actually fly all the way out to LA, drive all

[00:28:48] the way out to Simi Valley and watch me as part of this crew do this show and give this house away.

[00:28:58] Especially with you there, Bryce. Thank you so much for taking care of my family,

[00:29:02] showing them the ropes out there on set. That was the greatest day. That was an emotional day.

[00:29:08] I needed them to be there with me. And that was our wrap. So essentially, we've been traveling for

[00:29:16] three months, giving away all these homes with this super emotional show. This is our last time doing

[00:29:22] it. This is a dream job for me. I'm already feeling all the feels like, man, this is it. We're hoping

[00:29:30] to get a second season, but you never know. And so I'm already feeling all the feels. And to just have

[00:29:36] my parents and my best buddy, Bryce, right there with me, it's what I needed. It is what I needed.

[00:29:43] So thank you. Absolutely. It was great. Now, you know, I got to tell a story because let me talk

[00:29:49] to y'all about Wendell's daddy. First of all, senior is easy on the eyes. Okay. Okay. Sorry. But

[00:30:00] sorry, but senior is an attractive man if I don't say so myself. But let me, let me tell y'all about

[00:30:06] Wendell dad. He's a con artist. I'm gonna tell y'all this right now. So we on the set, they screaming,

[00:30:13] move that bus. I went Wendell's mom like, yeah. Wendell's dad leans in and goes, hey, son.

[00:30:21] I'm like, oh, it's called son now. And that was what should have been red flag number one.

[00:30:28] He goes, hey, son. Do you know if there's a best buy anywhere near here? I'm like, what?

[00:30:38] So me, I'm like, I Google. I'm like, oh, yes, senior. There's one.

[00:30:43] 10 minutes away. After the set wraps up.

[00:30:47] Wendell's dad's like, so about that best buy. You trying to take us there?

[00:30:54] So then I gotta take them there. Then when I take them there, senior's having an issue with

[00:30:58] his computer. It's gonna take two hours. Senior's like, you feel like dropping me and

[00:31:06] Neitz back off at the hotel, then coming to get us and taking us back. Senior got me, but

[00:31:14] it's quite all right because I had a day with the Holland family and it was great. It was really

[00:31:20] even more magical. I think I remember watching extreme back in the day and I remember like

[00:31:26] loving the show and I remember always just like move that bus. And so to be there, you

[00:31:38] know, the bus take a little while to come sometimes, but to be there, to be there and to see my best

[00:31:58] friend cheering on the crowd, talking to the family, to watch his dad and mom get emotional.

[00:32:06] It was so, so special and I'm so proud of you and I'm so excited and I cannot wait for tomorrow.

[00:32:13] Is it 8 p.m.? 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on ABC Extreme Home Makeover. Please set your DVRs.

[00:32:23] Please tell a friend to tell a friend to tell a friend to support our good brother.

[00:32:28] When DZ, we need a season two. Okay. We need to see more of this brother.

[00:32:35] So proud of you. How, what are your, well, actually, you know what? Cause we normally record

[00:32:39] a podcast around this time every year. And so now that we have extreme under our belts,

[00:32:47] you said you've never worked on a set this big, right? So now our goals have to be even bigger

[00:32:54] because now we, we, we onto something more amazing. What, um, let's manifest. What are we manifesting

[00:33:02] in 2025 and beyond? Oh yeah. Bryce, you, you have always, yeah. Yeah. Extreme was that goal.

[00:33:11] Survivor was that goal. And then it was extreme. And you said, you gotta start making new goals now.

[00:33:15] So, um, which I haven't put too, too much thought into, but let's, let's do a couple of things. Let's,

[00:33:22] let's get another show, whether it's a, um, a second season of extreme, which would be contingent

[00:33:30] on the viewership. Like let's watch these first few episodes. We need everyone to watch, tell a friend

[00:33:36] to tell a friend. Let's get another show, whether it's another, um, extreme makeover. I would love that.

[00:33:41] This is the dream show. This is the greatest show. Um, this, I would do this show for the rest of my

[00:33:49] life. If I could, I would retire from any other form of TV and do this show for the rest of my life.

[00:33:55] If I could, I'm that serious about it. Um, but I know how hard it is to get a second season. I've never,

[00:34:01] I've never been blessed to get a second season. So that would be the goal. If, um, if, if that's not

[00:34:06] in the cards, then I would love to do another show where I'm building or designing, um, another,

[00:34:13] another show in that field. That is the first goal in 2025 or 2026. Um, but if not, I am here to

[00:34:25] compete. Your boy is still a dog. So I'm here for a competition show also. But, um, so that's,

[00:34:34] that's the goal as far as those are, those are the goals. Another show in 2025 or 2026.

[00:34:41] And another goal would be some kind of a good partnership. So, um, I, I have some brands that

[00:34:49] I absolutely love and their tool brands or big box store brands or athletic wear brands, or even

[00:34:57] beverages that I love to drink. Um, but yeah, Bryce, if we can work on finding some kind of a really good

[00:35:03] partnership, that would be another goal of mine. But, um, the most important thing for me in 2025,

[00:35:10] the absolute, like I'll say it, um, to anybody, it is more time with Wendy, more time with him and my

[00:35:18] parents, um, more experiences with him. And I'd love to actually travel with him. I want to bring,

[00:35:25] I want to bring Wendy somewhere, whether it's Disney world, whether it's a beach, I I'd like to

[00:35:31] take my son on a flight. Um, I'd love to do that. And, and that is, that's the real goal for 2025.

[00:35:39] Travel with my man, spend more time with him, love on him more, and, uh, just pour into my little man.

[00:35:47] We love that. We're super proud of you. We'll all be tuning in. Can you close this out and give us

[00:35:53] the final plug that you need to and the call to action. So what we need to do tomorrow? Yes. Yes.

[00:36:01] My first question is, I don't know why Bryce Isaiah's shirt is on backwards, but I like it. Okay.

[00:36:09] I like it, but make sure you tune in tomorrow. That is January 2nd to ABC, 8 p.m. Eastern,
