Jenica from the overcomfort podcast. What's your sport this summer? Football? Football? Basketball. My personal favorite? Baseball Locasea. There's always mad back and forth about who's the best and who's not. The one thing that's never up for debate is a nice cold Coca Cola. It literally hits every single time, whether you're with friends or by yourself. Coca Cola esparatodos. I never like to show up empty handed, so I make sure to bring a 2 liter bottle of Coke to have with my carnitasada. Grab a Coca and listen to your favorite My Cultura shows wherever you get your podcast.

[Chiquis Rivera]

We Latinos love to talk, but one thing we don't talk enough about Colon cancer. Hi, it's Chikis and for me nothing is off limits, especially when colon cancer is the third leading cause of cancer related deaths in our community. But here's the good news. When caught early, it's more treatable in 90% of cases. So let's talk about it and do something about it. Ask your doctor if cologuard is right for you. You can learn more at Cologuard.com, or 1-844-870-8870. The Cologuard test is intended to screen adults 45 and older at average risk of colorectal cancer. Do not use a cologuard test if you have had adenomas, have inflammatory bowel disease and certain hereditary syndromes, or a personal or family history of colorectal cancer. The Cologuard test is not a replacement for colonoscopy in high risk patients. Cologuard test performance in adults ages 45 to 49 is estimated based on a large clinical study of patients 50 and old false positives and false negatives can occur. Prescription only.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Welcome back, buddy.

Hey, it's good to be back. It's been a while.

It's been way too long. I missed you last time in Napa. It would have been so much fun to have you there and enjoy that moment. But there are going to be other future moments that we can have fun together. In the podcast today, we have Jody Glidden. And Jody Glidden is a veteran tech entrepreneur and co founder of Intro Hive, Posterized, Split well, and several other business ventures. He is currently dating Lisa. I can't say her last name, but everybody knows Lisa from Miami Housewives. And welcome, Jody.

[Jody Glidden]

Great. Thank you.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Great to have you, Jody.

[Jody Glidden]

Thank you.

[Edwin Arroyave]

So, Jody, listen, I don't know if you've listened to our podcast, but as I mentioned earlier, it's all about you, man. So talk about yourself as much as you want and tell us all about yourself. I think the first question that we want to know is, who is Jody Glidden and where did you grow up? Where are you from?

[Jody Glidden]

Sure. So I grew up in a little town in eastern Canada, and so kind of like a little bit of a fishing and forestry town.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Oh, cool.

[Jody Glidden]

Yeah, it was. It was. It was a nice upbringing. I think we would, you know, play with motorcycles in the woods and, you know, do all that kind of stuff. It was, it was fun. At a certain point during, I don't know, maybe I was 8 years old or something, my parents got me a computer and so I ended up learning to program. I used to just do it for fun, like for a hobby kind of part time. And then whenever we were all graduating high school and everybody was trying to figure out what they were going to do for their life, it was the early 90s and I started realizing, actually, you can make a business out of this. Maybe I could actually make a living out of that. And that's how I ended up getting into tech.

[Edwin Arroyave]

That's awesome. Sounds like the Bill Gates, Steve Young story.

[Jody Glidden]

Yeah, I think right place, right time. Well, wrong place, right time because there was no tech going on in eastern Canada at that time. I had to leave. Really?

[Edwin Arroyave]

You're speaking my language. Because I love the outdoors. And I wish more than anything, like, my number one thing I could do for the rest of my life is ride my dirt bike in the woods all day long.

[Jody Glidden]

Oh, it was so much fun. And I think, like, so often now, as parents, we shelter our kids and don't let them get into trouble or don't let them get hurt. But it was those times, like being out, you know, with. With our motorcycle or whatever, like our little dirt bike and somebody. It's just like. It was fun times.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Yeah. It's funny, I still try to wrap my head around that. Like, why in my generation, and I think in Edwin's generation too, is like, well, how old are you, Jody?

[Jody Glidden]

51.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Yeah, you're the same generation. Same, same age. So, you know, we were told, get the hell out of the house. Don't come back until the lights go out. And this generation, like, we don't let him go anywhere. You know, we gotta watch every move, we gotta take them everywhere. And it just doesn't make any sense to me.

[Jody Glidden]

And actually, I think when you look at the numbers, it's. It's a much safer, you know, time that we live in now. But we just don't see it that way. I come back from school, I drop my book bag, we go out playing sports and, you know, get home at like 10 or 11 at night. And I think if Peyton were to do that, I would just go nuts, you know?

[Edwin Arroyave]

Yeah.

When you say Eastern Europe, eastern Canada, is that close to Toronto or.

[Jody Glidden]

Yeah, I mean, it's really. It would be a 10 hour drive east of Toronto. And then eventually I did move to Toronto, but. Yeah, Canada's just such a big landmass, you know, it's. Yeah, it's kind of. Toronto is kind of north of New York, but then you can still drive another 10 or 12 hours east of there.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Yeah.

So did you go from where you were born? What took you to Toronto? And then how did you end up in Miami? Well, that was Miami. The first choice or did you ever think of coming to Cali first or New York? Or was it straight, hey, I'm going to Toronto, I'm going to Miami? How'd that come about?

[Jody Glidden]

Well, I started. I. I started out creating a tech company in Fredericton, where I did my undergrad at Fredericton, New Brunswick, which is a little, you know, a little university town sort of. And I didn't know anything about business or anything about raising money or any of those things, so I thought it was a perfectly fine place to build a business. And, and we were selling to all these international customers and we were, you know, making a profit because we didn't know any other way back then. And then, and then eventually, just through building tech companies, you start to realize if you want to raise money, you kind of have to raise money in San Francisco. And, you know, there was a little bit of money at that point starting to come into tech in Toronto and places like that. But I moved to Toronto really for my third tech company. So I did two tech companies in Fredericton, sold them, and then I think when I was maybe in my maybe late twenties or so is when I moved to Toronto and then San Francisco.

[Edwin Arroyave]

So Toronto, San Francisco, then Miami. So what took you from San Francisco to Miami? The women?

[Jody Glidden]

Well, no, I. When I got to San Francisco, it was like really cool. It was a lot of fun. Everybody just talked tech the whole time. I've started to find it a little bit tiring, just, you know, everybody talking work all the time. It was kind of like, it was fun at first, but then, yeah, eventually it grows tiring. So I was kind of thinking about moving. I was married at the time. She didn't really want to stay there anymore. The dot com crash happened and I thought, well, maybe this is the time to move. So we, we did a short stint back in Canada and then ended up back in Washington D.C. so my next startup, the third one, was focused on selling to the federal, state and local government. So, you know, D.C. was where back then I would just move anywhere where I thought it would improve our chances of a good life. And so I moved to D.C. and we were there for seven years. That's where my daughter was born.

[Edwin Arroyave]

So you were young when you got married because the.com era was 2000.

[Jody Glidden]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, I think I was 26 or 27 years old.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Did that wipe you out, by the way, and you have to start all over, or did you do okay during that crash?

[Jody Glidden]

No, no, it was. I sold the business, the second business, right before the crash. So it was. No, that was, it was fine. I was just living on savings for a few years. You know, I didn't bother trying to start another business or get another job for a few years because it Just the market just looked terrible and I didn't think it was probably possible.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Yeah.

Now I also read something. Did you go to Harvard? Did you get your master's from Harvard?

[Jody Glidden]

Yeah, I did my master's at Harvard. I, I had. I learned to fly like small airplanes, like little four seater. I bought a serious SR22 and. And so I used to fly from Washington D.C. back and forth to Boston. And so I did my master's degree at the time. You know, it was funny because I had, I had built and sold businesses and all that, and I already knew kind of what I was doing at that point. But my mom, she had six kids. I was one of them. I was the only one that went to college. She seemed so proud when I did my undergrad degree. I thought, well, I bet she'd be really proud if I did my master's degree. And so I went and did that. And then I realized she didn't even know what Harvard was.

[Edwin Arroyave]

So you mentioned your siblings. Are they back in Canada or. Some of them migrated here as well?

[Jody Glidden]

Yeah, they're. They're all back in Canada, but they come to Florida. Most of them come to Florida for the, for the winter. So they come. Yeah, it's nice. I'm in Miami and they're kind of in the Orlando area usually.

[Edwin Arroyave]

How often do you get to see them?

[Jody Glidden]

I mean, I used to when I was building my businesses up there, I would, I'd have the majority of my headcount up in eastern Canada. I'd get up there all the time. When Covid hit, I started seeing them a little bit less often because it kind of became difficult to get back and forth across the border without, you know, quarantining and all this kind of stuff. And I got out of the habit and then they at the same time started spending their, their winters in Florida. So I think the combination of those two things that I stopped going up to Canada as much as I. As I used to, and now I started focusing a little bit more on like this last few years of my career. I'm trying to just make as much as I can to try to set myself up. And, you know, and I want to, you know, with everything that's happening with AI, I want to try to make sure that I set up our family as well as I can, you know.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Yeah, yeah, it's the next, next boom.

What drove you to want to start to become an entrepreneur versus just, you know, nine to five or working for corporate?

[Jody Glidden]

Yeah, so. So at first I started my mom's you know, ultimate goal for me was to work at Sunny Corner Mechanical, because that was the big company in our town. And so I got the job running it at Sunny Corner Mechanical. And she was so proud. And I was making, I think, $15 an hour or something, and she was, like, super proud and everything. And then this. I had these different Microsoft certifications, and I got a call from, I guess somebody called Microsoft, somebody that had started a Microsoft training company. They called Microsoft and asked them who in the province of New Brunswick might they want to talk to to partner up with somebody? And they gave them my number. I got a call unsolicited, ended up going to work with this guy, learned all about tech startups with him. We sold that company. Then I created my next one and just got. I was like, this is a lot of fun, but both my parents were entrepreneurs in their own way. My dad was more into, like, he had a fire protection business, and my mom was. Had, like, an aesthetic salon, and my sisters all had hair salons, and they were all, you know, they were all kind of into the beauty industry.

[Edwin Arroyave]

So you. Have you been motivated all your life as a kid?

[Jody Glidden]

Yeah. Yeah. I was like. I remember when I was a little kid, like, having these little businesses all the time. So one of them, when sports cards, like NBA trading cards and NHL cards, I would, like, go and find that there were these Beckett guides that would tell you what the price had moved to from week to week. I would, like, figure out how to get the Beckett guide before everybody else got it a day before. So I. I asked my mom if we could set her up as a wholesaler so we would get the Beckett guide a day early. I'd figure out, like, which cars moved the most. And then I go drive around town and try to buy up all the ones that moved a lot. A few days, I made, like, enough. I was. I don't know, maybe I was 12 or 13. I made enough to buy a car, like, a few years sooner than I could even drive.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Nice.

[Jody Glidden]

I was always, like, trying to figure something out because, like, I grew up, like, dirt poor, you know, and. And so I would go to school, and everybody had to have, like, these certain shoes or these certain jeans or whatever. And I was like, oh, my God, I don't want to not, you know, have whatever it is. So I just tried to figure it out on my own.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Yeah.

So did you make any money on the first time you sold your company? Or were you. Or was it mostly the investors that made all the money? You know, sometimes you get taken advantage of on your first time?

[Jody Glidden]

Yeah, I didn't have investors until my third business, so I made some pretty good money in. In the first two businesses, especially the second one, because I had, you know, more ownership and. But then I. I was kind of spending money at a rate that I shouldn't have been back then, too, and also, I didn't.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Would you spend your money on. By the way? What'd you spend your money on? I'm curious.

[Jody Glidden]

Taking three or four years of doing nothing. Those years where I was telling you the dot com crash happened, and I was just like, yeah, who cares?

[Edwin Arroyave]

You know, I mean, there's nothing happening anyways, so. Yeah, I wouldn't feel too bad about it.

I was wondering if you were, like, driving fast cars, getting bottle service everywhere, different women all the time.

[Jody Glidden]

No, no, I was way too country for that. I didn't really know any of that stuff. Miami. Yeah.

[Edwin Arroyave]

What? And now you're in Miami, so I'm sure you know a little bit about it, right?

[Jody Glidden]

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Especially, you know, in. In the circles now. It's like everybody is. You know, they're throwing events on yachts, and it's just like a. It's a crazy life. I've never. I never really expected. I mean, honestly, it gets tiring. We're. We're constantly. We get like a million invites to birthdays and different things, like, every weekend. I'm sure you guys know what it's like.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Yeah.

[Jody Glidden]

There's more thing. More invites than you can possibly. You realize eventually you got to set your priorities on what you want to do. And if your priorities are going to be family and business, you can't get yourself distracted.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Yeah, that. That's actually a great point because I think Edwin would agree with me. It's. It's so much time and effort to go walk the red carpet and, you know, socialize and meet people. And for us, I mean, I could speak for Edwin as well. There's no real value for our businesses there. You know, we're not really going to. I mean, there is networking if you're with the right people, but most of the time when you're on those places, you don't meet the right people. It's not our industry. Right.

[Jody Glidden]

Never know. And Lisa. I realized Lisa gets called to these things so often, it's like a couple of times a week, there's some place that, you know, wants her to come and help promote it and things. So, you know, I was trying to show up for. For her as much as I can. But yeah, it's at the point where it becomes a distraction to, to what you're trying to achieve, you know, and the business that I'm in at at, well, the last two businesses that I've been in have been focused on, you know, the world's largest law firms, world's largest consulting companies. There, there's no contacts I'm going to meet. You know, promoting some makeup line or something like that could help me in my business.

[Jenica]

Hola, it's your girl Jenica from the Over Comfort podcast. Let's talk about summer sports a sec. Are you a football fan? Football, basketball or my personal favorite baseball. Whatever game. I'm sure there's some heated back and forth action. Am I right? Like who's best, who's not. But for me, there's always one thing that's never up for debate. A cold Coca Cola on a hot summer day. Growing up, Coke was always at the backyard cookouts, family fiestas, straight chillin. It is the undisputed champ of every summer. Whether you're watching the game, vibing with friends, or doing your own thing, Coca Cola is paratodos. I never like to show up empty handed. So I always make sure to stop at the store, grab a 2 liter bottle of Coke and bring those memories and home with me to the party. Grab a Coke and listen to Over Comfort and your favorite Michael Tura shows.

[Edwin Arroyave]

You know, it's interesting, I remember when I was on the show, we kept getting, we got invited everywhere and I found myself, you know, drinking four or five times a week because every event I went to, there's drinking, right?

Yeah.

And I remember thinking to myself, why do I have to drink at these events? And I won't be able to keep up. If I come to these many events and then drink two, three drinks every event, that that adds up to 15, 20 drinks a week. So that's what, that's the reason I decided to go sober for a year. I'm like, you know what? I'm not going to drink for an entire year. If I'm going to go to these events, I'm not going to drink. But it's interesting. I replaced that with coffee. I'd never had coffee before in my life. And then I was like, whoa, this is why people drink coffee. Like I could actually be engaged in a conversation even if they're drunk. I could still be engaged because I'm having my coffee. But, yeah, it was an interesting time, being sober for an entire year and going to all these events. But that's why I actually didn't drink for a year, because I can't keep up with this.

How did the coffee affect your sleep?

That's the only thing that sort of screwed me up, because then I had a hard time sleeping. So it was like, still, you know, not the greatest, but it did. It's funny. That was my exchange for alcohol. I just drank coffee.

Yeah.

Now I got smarter. Now I'll do some iced tea. Not iced tea, but green tea.

[Jody Glidden]

That was the hardest part for me when I. When I stopped drinking was just the. The habit of, like, I'd be in a crowd and. And you feel like it's. It's kind of this social pressure where you're supposed to have something in your hand and, like. Yeah. People are asking you, like, what do you drink? Like, even if you do go and you just get soda water or whatever, people are like, well, what are you drinking?

[Edwin Arroyave]

Yeah.

[Jody Glidden]

And if you tell them it's soda water, then they're like, oh, come on, let's get you some tequila or whatever. It's. It's really. Yeah. Strange how much it bothers other people if you're not drinking. Yeah.

[Edwin Arroyave]

So do you not drink anymore?

[Jody Glidden]

Barely. Like, I'll have half a drink or something if people are really pressuring, you know? But, yeah, mainly I'm trying. I've been on this kick for about a year where I've been trying to do all these biomarker testing and everything and trying to help with longevity as much as I can and get great workouts. And I was finding that having a hangover or even a couple of drinks, it's. It affects your performance, and it's just didn't align with what I wanted to do.

[Edwin Arroyave]

That's interesting. I did hear something about you getting into the biohacking world, and I know that especially Edwin and I were into fitness. We're into feeling good. There's nothing better in life than feeling good naturally. Right. I've experienced the caffeine highs. I've experienced this supplement. And of course, there's so many things out there, substances, if you will, that will make you feel incredible. I haven't tried it, but I heard Adderall is one of the things that just lights you up, makes you feel like you're on top of the world and it's legal.

[Jody Glidden]

Yeah, for sure. Yeah. I had a Lot of problems concentrating whenever I was younger and everything. And then when Adderall came along, I went to my doctor and tried it for a while. But then what I found is you're kind of like borrowing energy today from tomorrow. And so it's kind of the same thing where you, you feel great and focused and engaged with people and stuff and then the next day you're kind of like crashed and not operating at 100 or at least for me.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Yeah.

[Jody Glidden]

So for me I find the best thing was if you can get a long stint away from almost everything except for caffeine and, and just there's a lot of research out there now that creatine, we all used to take creatine for like muscles and stuff like that.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Right.

[Jody Glidden]

But actually teen is one of the, the most effective for the brain. You probably read that, but things like, things like that L. Theanine like keeping doing like meditation and breath work and stuff like that to try to get your stress levels down.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Yeah.

[Jody Glidden]

You'll start operating a lot better cognitively. So it's, you know, it's almost, you can almost achieve the same level of focus and everything by just letting your body regulate.

[Edwin Arroyave]

I agree, I agree. And I'll add to that that it doesn't work the same for everybody because we all have different, not just genetics, but lifestyles. Right?

[Jody Glidden]

Yeah, that's right.

[Edwin Arroyave]

I myself and I grew up exercising my whole entire life, so it's like brushing my teeth and if I don't do it, that's when I become unhinged and a little bit of a bitch and whine about everything. And I know that my wife reminds me of that. But as soon as I go get a good workout, get a good pump, and especially for me, cardiovascular workouts when I'm running, cycling or doing some sort of exercise that gets my heart pumping and my brain just cleared, I can handle life much better that way. But yeah, I think it's, it's the, the history and background of, of that whole regimen. You know, if you start working out today, you're not going to love it as much as somebody who's been doing it all their life. Right. It's going to be sort of like an uphill both ways battle. This is so hard. I can't continue this for the rest of my life. So they'll give go back to their old regimen, which is self medication with alcohol or some sort of at least illicit drug or you know, over the counter drug. But it's, it's just, it's, I Think it's different for everybody with respect to what lifestyle they live, how their body processes nutrients. You know, some of them, some of us are more efficient than others and of course, what their long term goal is, you know, at a young age we don't think about our 50 year old self.

[Jody Glidden]

Right, Yeah. I was just saying this to my daughter. I was like, she's like, what, what do you. Because I have all these supplements packed, you know, on my other trip to London here, she's like, what are you doing with all these things all the time? Like, you'll understand maybe when you get closer to my age.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Right. Hey, at least it's not a bag full of pharmaceuticals that you're taking. I mean, I can't tell you how much I hate that. I've seen that, I witnessed it and it just makes me cringe. You know, in my perfect world, I wish I didn't have to take anything. But again, I know that there's certain things I'm deficient in that I don't get in my diet. I don't eat a whole lot of fish, so I do take omega 3s, the supplements. I definitely do creatine. Even though I eat a lot of meat that meets my primary source of fuel and nutrition. But I do take creatine because of its beneficial returns. You know, it's, it's worth it. I also take, yeah, and I also do supplement with electrolytes. You know, mostly because I am a sweat hog. I sweat like mad and I know I lose a lot, a lot of electrolytes and electrolytes. You know, micronutrients are very hard to replenish, unlike macronutrients. You know, so to me it's sort of like the, the safe feeds, like a, like a backup system for me. Like I'm just gonna have my electrolytes in there whether I need them or not because yeah, there's going to be days where I'm out eight hours on my dirt bike and I'm sweating my balls off and I'm having a great time. But afterwards is the effect, right? Like, why am I cramping?

[Jody Glidden]

And you know, like as we, as we all age, right, there's things that just happen to our bodies that. So for example, all of our testosterone gets low, our, our growth hormone gets low. There's all these things that, that happen to us that are, it's not good. And so there's, there's things now that are coming down through research and everything like myostatin inhibitors and, you know, ways for people to supplement their testosterone either through enclomophene or through testosterone itself or whatever. Like there's a whole bunch of ways to fix these things that, that to make you a little bit more like your body chemistry. Like when you're 20, there's like the, you know, people that have, they really do feel hunger in a way that many of us might not. And, and now there's like ways to inhibit the feeling of hunger and all that kind of stuff. So I just think that what's happening in medicine is like pretty amazing. So I'm not like anti, you know, medicine in any way or whatever. I'm more like about. I just want to measure what's going on in my body. I love this function. I don't know if you guys saw function, the blood test.

[Edwin Arroyave]

I've heard of it.

[Jody Glidden]

Yeah, pretty cool. Like you can test like, you know, 100 different biomarkers and you'll see like you're deficient in vitamin D3 and you're deficient in this and this and this. And then you can just correct it, you know, and it makes a big difference.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Tell us about Lisa. How did you meet Lisa? Let's get into that good stuff.

[Jody Glidden]

Yeah. Yeah. So I had, I had broken up with. Well I. I was in a really toxic relationship where we were breaking up, getting back together, breaking off, getting back together I'd move out.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Is this your marriage?

[Jody Glidden]

No, no. I actually have a great relationship with my ex wife. We were, we were together almost 20 years and wow. You know, we just talked today even. We talk every day pretty much.

[Edwin Arroyave]

That's awesome.

[Jody Glidden]

But, but this was a relationship I probably gotten into. I was. But her and me and my ex wife, we had broken up. I was single for a while. I was dating, dating, dating. And then I was thinking, like, I should probably make a decision on what I'm gonna do because I was worried that it would set a bad example to my daughter if she saw me dating a lot of different people. And so I think I probably jumped into choosing when I probably shouldn't have. And probably about a year in, I knew it wasn't right and I just kept on, you know, trying to make it work. I'm, I'm, I think I'm a bit of a try to make it work for person and, and then it clearly wasn't. And then I would just get to the breaking point. I would move out and we went through this very toxic thing for a long time.

[Edwin Arroyave]

And then how long was the breakup period? Like how long did it take from. You knew. You obviously knew the first year you should have broke up, but you still.

[Jody Glidden]

I mean, I let it go five years.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Oh, wow.

Yeah, that used to happen to me all the time, by the way. I knew I should have broken up like sick at the six month mark. @ the year mark.

[Jody Glidden]

Yeah.

[Edwin Arroyave]

And then it took three years to finally break up. It took five years to finally break up. When in retrospect I was like, I kind of knew at year one.

Yeah, yeah.

It was never going to happen, yet I continued this back and forth toxic relationship. So.

[Jody Glidden]

Yeah. That interesting for you or for them? I think what prolonged the whole thing is that her friends convinced me that everything would get a lot better if we just got engaged. Because a lot of the, the, you know, craziness that was happening and the stress that was happening, arguing that was happening was because I was not being engaged. And I don't know how I felt for that. It's like, it's like these people that they're like, oh, just have a baby. That'll fix everything. So I got engaged and. And then it didn't fix the, it didn't fix the issues. So, yeah, we ended up calling it off. And then, so then I was single, trying to figure out what to do. And then one of my friends, we, we used to see this girl in the, in the gym all the time. At Barry's Boot Camp. Lisa.

[Edwin Arroyave]

I love Barry's Boot Camp, by the way. It's one of my favorite workouts.

[Jody Glidden]

I still go like, once a week with Lisa. She. She's like a frequent flyer there.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Nice.

[Jody Glidden]

But we used to see her come in. She was like, I always thought she was beautiful, but she'd come in, like, five minutes late to the class, and she'd leave five minutes early. And I'd think, like, what's with that girl? She thinks she's too good for everybody. What's going on? Why is she coming in late and leaving early and everything? And then I came to realize what her life is like. Like, if she sticks around, she gets like, you know, it can be hard to get in and out sometimes.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Yeah.

[Jody Glidden]

So that's where I first saw her. And I would talk about her with my friends and everything. And then. Then they. They broke up. I kind of forgot all about it until I broke up. And I was like, I was on a. A boat with one of my friends and. And he said, we. We were talking about, like, what. What am I going to do next? Am I going to go on a dating app? What am I going to do? And. And then his. We were like, what about that Lisa girl? And I was like, yeah, maybe I'll ask her out. So I didn't realize at the time how unrealistic that was, you know, just a cold outreach. But I just, like, DM'd her. And. And then she started writing back, and it was a me. It was like within two minutes, she started writing back, and it was like an interview. She's like, do you have any kids? You know, like, what. How old is your kid? What has your relationship with her? Like, it was like, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, like for an hour and a half, like, back and forth. What do you do for a living? What did you do before that? Like, you know, and then what did you DM her?

[Edwin Arroyave]

Did you, like, say, hey, it's me from Barry's. Do you remember me? Or what? What was that first dm? What did you ask?

[Jody Glidden]

Well, I remember it because she tells this story quite a bit. She was getting apparently, like, a lot of, like, really bad messages, like a lot of gross messages from guys, like, whatever. And. And mine was probably pretty Canadian, I guess. I was like, hey, I think you're really beautiful. I. I've seen you around at, you know, at your parties and at various boot camp and stuff like that. And I always thought you had, like, really great style. And, you know, we. You just, you're kind of my neighbor. You just live on the next island, and I'd love to take you out sometime if you want. And she's like, huh, Next island. So maybe he's doing okay for himself, you know, I was just gonna say.

[Edwin Arroyave]

That I like that drop of the next island. That's just like, yeah, little hand.

[Jody Glidden]

Yeah. And. Yeah. So it worked. And then we went out for. And I planned our first date at a restaurant, and I. It was like a very awkward car ride because it was. It was probably too long of a car ride and. And then. But yeah. But it turned out to be. It turned out to be great. We ended up going to an event where it was like, this season is all about the Philip Line thing. We. We went to a Philip Plein event when we first met, and it was. It was nice because, like, I had had other friends there so I could talk to my friends and, like, she could still talk to her. It wasn't so much pressure, you know.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Yeah.

[Jody Glidden]

Turned out to be really good. And then. Then I just, you know, asked her out again, and it just kind of. I remember her telling me, like, early into the relationship, she said, are you sure you want to do this? Because this is going to get really crazy.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Yeah.

[Jody Glidden]

I was thinking, like, how crazy could it really get? You know, I've been in the media before with my tech stuff. I didn't realize how different that is, you know? But. Yeah.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Well, let me ask you the big question. When you saw Lisa and you obviously knew about her, not just because she's a hottie, did you know that she was on a Real Housewife show on tv?

[Jody Glidden]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Everybody in the city knew that couple more than anybody else that on the show, they just knew who that couple was because they were in the same social circles. So I had a million friends that were their friends.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Yeah.

[Jody Glidden]

Happen to have not met. So it was. That was one of the things that actually made it pretty easy because we had so many friends in common.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Okay.

[Jody Glidden]

And I didn't have any friends in common with anybody else on the show. I knew all about her, and she knew a lot of my friends, but we didn't really. I didn't know much about the show because I didn't. I didn't watch the show.

[Edwin Arroyave]

I was just gonna ask you that. Like, were you very familiar with the show? Okay.

[Jody Glidden]

I was forced to watch it once or twice by one of my exes.

[Edwin Arroyave]

But do you interact with Lisa's ex at all?

[Jody Glidden]

No, not really. I went to, like, birthdays and things like, that tried to make the best of it. I just felt like, you know, I had such a good relationship with my ex. I thought it would work itself out in time. And I remember texting him that, saying, like, hey, I know things are really heated between you and Lisa right now, but I do think it'll work itself out over time and all that, kind of giving them my perspective, but they never. I'm not sure it ever will for them, you know?

[Edwin Arroyave]

Yeah, that's a tough place to be, and I know that. I mean, I'd hate to bring this up, but I know Edwin is kind of walking into that world, like, how is he gonna feel when the kids are gonna be with somebody else? And, and it's, It's a crazy dynamic. I don't know if you're ready for that. You ready for that, Edwin?

I think so. He seems like a cool guy. I haven't met him yet, but.

But are you communicating with him?

No, not yet. Not yet.

I, I, I, personally, I don't have.

A problem with it, but that's good. But I think it's, you know, I think it's a, you know, when it just happens, organic. I think I'm more of that type of person and stuff, so.

Yeah. We talked about this before on another podcast interview, and, And I want to say I never spoke to my wife's ex. It just was not conducive. The guy was just a terrible person. But I think if I had done it different, if I had it my way, I would have had a great conversation or relationship with them because it benefits the kids the most. I think that's my opinion. I didn't experience that, but from what I witnessed in other relationships that have gone through something like that, I think the kids benefit highly. And, and I just had, you know, a interview with Paulie, and we talked about that with him and Dolores.

[Jody Glidden]

And I love Polly. He's great.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Yeah. And, and how he has just an incredible relationship with the whole entire extended family, including Frank. And it's just so funny how they go back and forth like brothers, and it's, it's bizarre to me. But he says, yeah, you know, it works. It really works.

I think it's easy if, if both couples are getting along.

Yeah.

[Jody Glidden]

It's.

[Edwin Arroyave]

It's easy to meet the other person. Right. I think if you're not getting along.

Yeah.

It just makes it that much tougher. Right. Because, you know, as the, as the guy that's coming into a new relationship, you almost have to stay away because it can Only be bad for you if they're in a bad place and then you try to butt in, it just gets worse. So.

[Jody Glidden]

But if it.

[Edwin Arroyave]

If they're both doing well and amicable, it's easy to just meet the other person, I think.

Yeah.

[Jody Glidden]

And it's so much harder in our world, I think, too, because everything, you know, everybody is so visible in the media. So, like, there was an awful lot happening where something would happen and then somebody would call, you know, Page Six or Us Weekly or whatever, and then, like. And then somebody. Then they call for a rebuttal, and it's just. It's a weird world. You know, this whole thing is. It just makes it really difficult. Now, on the other hand, my daughter's mom and she, you know, she's now remarried, and we. We travel together, like, and the kids and. And my daughter and. And them. Like, we did ski trips together. We do Christmas together.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Wow.

[Jody Glidden]

Great.

[Edwin Arroyave]

That's awesome.

[Jody Glidden]

Yeah.

[Edwin Arroyave]

And you bring Lisa with you, I assume?

[Jody Glidden]

Yeah, yeah. Lisa and the kids.

[Edwin Arroyave]

And.

[Jody Glidden]

And actually Logan, which is Lisa's son. He was. He was. He. He loves Danny, which is, you know, it's like my kid's mom's husband. He loves Danny, and Danny has taken him, like, pickleball and, you know, all kinds of stuff like that. It's kind of like a, you know, new Modern family. It's fun.

[Edwin Arroyave]

That's cool. That is so cool. So you were.

I remember I saw some articles on, you know, how supportive you were being for Lisa and how great you were for releasing. Obviously, you were getting some great press, and then all of a sudden, you start getting some bad press with that incident of you, which you guys quickly sort of diminished. But how was that, you know, getting good press? And then all of a sudden, you got to deal with that crap, right?

[Jody Glidden]

Yeah.

[Edwin Arroyave]

How was that?

[Jody Glidden]

Did that hard.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Were you disappointed?

[Jody Glidden]

Thankfully, that wasn't my first foray into it because, like, I had. When I. I was, like, several months into dating Lisa, and then there was a hit piece put in by her ex about just one day whenever I was, like, dropping her off. He, like, called the. One of these tabloids or whatever, and they were saying, like, that I was visiting the house late at night. It was just, like, a really bizarre article. I was like, this is really strange that this is what the world is like. You know, you do a normal thing, like, you're just dropping somebody off, and it turns into a news story.

[Edwin Arroyave]

So what was that story? Like, you were being a stalker or what?

[Jody Glidden]

No, it was trying to apply That I was home with Lisa and the kids. And then that was somehow inappropriate because the kids are too young to have a guy around. It was a 20,000 square foot mansion with two guest houses. You know, like, it's not like, like we're just, we were just hanging out. Like every couple hangs out.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Yeah.

[Jody Glidden]

But, you know, he was able to spin that into a news story. And I think he was just angry at the time at, at her. And I'm sure there was a lot of back and forth as, I mean, I was really angry with my, with my ex when we first broke up, so I think that's natural. Yeah, but that's where I first caught the first shrapnel, I guess. And, and then this last one, I, I had actually heard like, long before the season was ever like, really when season one was, was wrapping up. One of the producers had said to me that a lot of times in season two, like when you're in your second full season, a lot of times that's when you, they'll give you a bad edit. Yeah. And so I wasn't entirely surprised. And then, and then I got, but when I saw that, it was so bizarre because, you know, they leave all the, the windows and door, you guys have probably seen this, but they have like the lighting equipment, stuff like that. So they leave all the windows and doors open where they're filming. We had barbecues and everything in our, in our living room.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Oh, wow.

[Jody Glidden]

And so it was like 90 some degrees. Everybody's like sweating through their shirts and everything. And, and also most of my friends don't want to be on camera, but, but I didn't want to be at my own birthday without my friends.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Yeah.

[Jody Glidden]

If I said, you know, it's fine, invite all the cast and everything, but I want to have my own friends there. And then my friends would come and they, they basically just had, you know, we haven't got a very large place, so they just had their own kind of birthday going on separate from the main one. And then I, I, then I see that they're like clearly trying to imply that I was like that AC was some code word. And some people have even like giving it like, they say adult candy or something like that. It's just so stretching. But whatever. I mean, I think that's part of.

[Edwin Arroyave]

The Real Housewife world is that every edit, for the most part, is to create the max and maximize the drama. You know, to create something out of nothing or take something completely out of context. I get it now because I've been in it for so long. And if there wasn't any of that, then there wouldn't be an audience just riveted to watching the train wreck. Right. Because that's what I call it. It's just a train wreck shit show that everybody loves to watch and they've been very successful with it doing that same program year in, year out. Every time I've spoken to any potential house, husband or boyfriend that's going to be on the show, I've had a few of them reach out to me and say, hey, so what should I expect? My biggest advice has always been to stay out of the cameras, to stay out of the drama, don't get involved. You know, at the end of the day, it's better to be called a guy or a guy that doesn't support his wife on this show than a guy that gets all into the business, gets into a fight with another housewife and becomes, you know, the seventh housewife on the show. Right. That's my take on it.

[Jody Glidden]

This is what I tried to do. So when I, when I heard that this was probably, that I was probably going to be, you know, have this happen in season two, I thought, okay, well, first thing I did is said, I'm not going to film season two.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Yeah.

[Jody Glidden]

And so we went a long time into negotiations where I was like, I'm not going to do this until, you know, if this is what's coming.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Yeah.

[Jody Glidden]

And it ended up. I was, I was satisfied. I thought it was all going to be kept under control. The very first event was my birthday, so there was no but to be there, you know, so, so I was kind of trapped. Larsa came right up and confronted me at my birthday. They cut most of the scene. It's actually like a five minute scene or so where I have a whole conversation with her where she's like asking these different questions and I'm saying like, she was like, do you know. Don't you know what Marcus did to me? And I said, well, something along the lines of like, no, I, I don't know anything about that.

[Edwin Arroyave]

And.

[Jody Glidden]

And she's like, well, he, you know, he did this and this and this. Don't you. Don't Aren't you on Instagram? And I said, I'm not really on Instagram. Like once in a while, like once every few weeks or a month I'll post something, but I'm not really an Instagram person. And she's like, well, what about the tabloids? It's all over the TMZ and everything. I Was like, I don't. I'm a business person. I don't really read tabloids or any of that kind of stuff. Honestly, I just don't do that. There was a whole conversation, are you drinking?

[Edwin Arroyave]

Do you have a little buzz going on? And she's.

[Jody Glidden]

Oh, no. I was prepared because I was like, this is going to be. Like, I didn't let my guard down until the whole. I thought it was over. Like, I thought, okay, well, I handled that pretty well. Then I was like, okay, guys, like, all right, let's go do a shot. So. So then I felt like it was all good and then. But it turned out they clipped the whole argument and they made it look like she confronted me. And I was like, oh, oh, yeah.

[Edwin Arroyave]

I saw that clip. My wife made me watch the show.

[Jody Glidden]

Yeah. Yeah. It's. Then I realized, I mean, every year you learn a little bit more. Right. And you realize, I thought as long as you don't give them any. Any scenes that. Where you're being.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Oh, no.

[Jody Glidden]

I realized, no, it's even more than that. You really have to just stay away. Yeah. Like you said, if you stay away too much, then you're unsupportive. So. Yeah, I think I'll know the right balance next year if I. If I decide to do it.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Yeah. I think the. My number one rule is just don't get involved with the drama, no matter how bad it gets, because I have confidence more than 100% that my wife can handle it, because she's been doing that. She's seasoned. She knows how to deal with these little bitches that, you know, want men that want to be on the show and want to be, you know, big mouth and be part of the housewife world. And I'm like, I. There's nothing I can contribute to that because my wife will put them in their place, you know, and my wife doesn't make up. You know, she defends herself, defends her family and just calls people out on their. And that's what people don't like, especially men.

[Jody Glidden]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. In our. In our group, the men don't really get involved. This year, What. What ended up happening is, you know, Marcus and I joined the show at the same time. Yeah. Every time. He lives in Orlando, so every time he would come down from Orlando, which is every three, four months or whatever, he. He's in. He's friends with all my friends, so all my friends. And he happens to be like, hey, I'm coming to town or whatever, let's go grab dinner. We grab dinner and. And one of these times, it was in the summertime, I grabbed dinner with him and a bunch of my friends. And then, like, months later, we're going into filming and then Larsa calls and she's all angry. I'm like, what? And then I'm realizing she's talking about this group dinner with all my friends from, like, months before.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Yeah.

[Jody Glidden]

I didn't even. What do you. I didn't even know this was a problem, you know?

[Edwin Arroyave]

Yeah.

[Jody Glidden]

And then it just turned into a confrontation. First thing I knew, I was the storyline, you know?

[Edwin Arroyave]

Yeah. Yeah. Well, the other thing I. I kind of took away from watching the clip of your show last Sunday, I think it was, is, you know, there's going to be drama between friends. You know, again, something I learned recently, there's got to be a fight and then there's got to be making up. And my wife has had so many of those relationships on the show. And again, it's for show purposes. Right. But there also have been some women on the show that they can't get to my wife. They can't, you know, make her emotionally cry or really get at her. Right. So they go after their kids or they go after their husbands or boyfriends, and. And that's just not fun. That's not cool. You know, these.

[Jody Glidden]

These women really defend ourselves or.

[Edwin Arroyave]

No, and we're not going to. You know, And. And the thing that really gets me is that Bravo edits it and puts it out there and, And I get it. You know, it's part of the show. We signed the contract and we're there because we want to support our wife any way we can, but it's. It's. Yeah, it's. I don't know. Collateral damage. Welcome to the Collateral Damage.

[Jody Glidden]

But I think. I think it does make it harder to recruit successful guys to the show.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Oh, yeah.

[Jody Glidden]

Because. And to get us to come back, like, after. After a year like this, you know, we had a lot of discussions, like, do I ever want to be on camera again? You know, I don't know. It's. I definitely wanted to help her. I wanted to support her. But then I see some of the women on the show where their husbands barely appear and they've been fine. Yeah. So I think it. Yeah, I think I can probably fade away, and that would be great.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Do you still talk to Marcus?

[Jody Glidden]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Okay.

[Jody Glidden]

I. Probably every two or three months, we. We talk. I'm. I'm taking my daughter to Paris here this weekend, and. And. And he's going to be in Paris, apparently in the same. Same weekend. So we were talking about actually grabbing dinner if that doesn't like.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Awesome.

[Jody Glidden]

I mean, the guy doesn't even drink any. He's. He's. He's so not. What. At least from what I've seen. He's so not. What is rumored, you know?

[Edwin Arroyave]

Yeah.

What is. What does mom now think of you being on the show? Obviously she was very proud when you got that job making 15 bucks an hour. What does she think now that you're on Bravo tv? Is she like a big fan?

[Jody Glidden]

Is.

[Edwin Arroyave]

She's a celebrity?

[Jody Glidden]

Yeah. Oh, my God. If. If. If my mom were. My mom passed a long time ago, but if my mom were still alive, there was no way I would do the show because you would have. My mom was very. She used to preach to me all the time about modesty and not bragging and just like, she was. So it was so important to her that. That I actually kind of hurt my businesses for a long time because I. I wouldn't be on camera. I didn't have any kind of public image because I always had these things going on in my head about what my mom had taught me. So, yeah, if she were. If she were alive, I'd be wrestling between, you know, what's good for Lisa and what's good for my mom. And I probably would lean towards modesty.

[Edwin Arroyave]

My last question for you, just a fun one you mentioned when you DM'd, or you said, hey, I have a house just next on the other island.

[Jody Glidden]

Who.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Who had a nicer house, you or Lisa?

[Jody Glidden]

Oh, you know, it was. My house was. Was quite nice. It was a waterfront. You know, I. I sold it for 12. $12 million just a couple months ago, but was worth, I think, $80 million.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Oh, wow.

[Jody Glidden]

She got. It's like a massive, massive place. So really, you know, it kind of to me felt a little bit like a hospital. It was giant, like 25 foot ceilings and like.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Wow.

[Jody Glidden]

Yeah.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Was yours more modern?

[Jody Glidden]

Yeah, yeah, mine was more. More like modern, like wood styles kind of like. I don't know if you've seen these, like with teak and ipe. I love that kind of thing. Like feeling a little bit jungly. Yeah.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Now they got some beautiful homes there. I can only.

[Jody Glidden]

Miami. Miami is a really great place. It's a. My daughter was just saying about how she loves where she lives. And I remember when I grew up, and most of us, when we grew up, we didn't love where we lived. But I do find a lot of people they love Miami.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Yeah, it's a great place. It's a really cool, just hip jive, awesome place to visit. I don't know that I could live that. Same thing with New York. I love visiting. I don't know that I can live there, but, you know, it probably stems from just growing up in Southern California all my life. And I'm comfortable here. But I. I do love to visit Miami. It's awesome. It's very cool.

Hey, it's Cheekies from the Cheekies intro podcast. Lately, all I hear is football this, soccer that. I mean, football or football. Pick one. Right? And every time those words come up, so does the debate. Which one's tougher, which has better uniforms, which sport takes more skill. That convo goes on forever, trust me. But you know where it ends? When someone pops open an ice cold Coca Cola. That sound, that first sip. Mm. That's when everyone chills out and smiles. Instant truce. And for me, Coca Cola has always been a part of summer. Backyard carne asadas sweating in the sun, blasting music in my hand. It just hits different. So whether you're team football, team football, or just here for snacks, Coca Cola esparatodos. And Coca Cola always helps us share our stories on my cultura. Make sure to listen to your favorite shows wherever you listen to podcasts.

This episode is brought to you by Huggies Snug and Dry My little guy is on the move and man does he keep us both busy. That's why it's so important for me to make sure I found a diaper that is comfy for him during all those wiggles, running around and dancing it out during playtime. All while giving him the protection from leaks throughout the day. For me, Huggies Snug and Dry are luxuriously soft and ultra dry. We parents only want the absolute best for our babies. If they have to be in a diaper all day, it may as well be the softest, driest diaper possible. Experience the unexpected softness and up to 100% leak protection of Huggies Snug and Dry Dia. More parents choose the new Huggies Snug and Dry softness versus the leading premium diaper Huggies. We got you baby.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Now that you sold your place, what's next?

[Jody Glidden]

Well, so now I think I'm actually looking at another place. So there's a place that's still another waterfront place. I found I had a feeling that prices were going to drop and they are. So I think I timed that kind of perfectly. Been investing and stuff like that. And then now I think I'm probably going to buy another place coming. Well, I guess if I can get it for, for what I think I.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Can do you involve your daughter at all with it?

[Jody Glidden]

She just has no interest in that kind of stuff, you know, I'm trying, waiting to see, you know, what she's gonna have interest in. At the moment she's like very focused on forensics. She, she wants to solve crimes, work for the FBI and all that kind of stuff. Very cool. That could be pretty cool. I would like for her to do something in maths or sciences or AI or something that's future proof, you know.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Right, right. Times are definitely changing so One last question I have for you is now that we've mentioned, you know, some of the negative stuff that has happened on Bravo and how they spend things to create a storyline and how, you know, sometimes we get to be, you know, collateral damage on all that. Tell us about some of the positive stuff that you've experienced since being on the show.

[Jody Glidden]

Yeah, well, it's. It's. I mean, I guess in terms of It's a wild life, you know, we could. We go to, you know, she's coming to meet me and Peyton in Paris here this weekend. And, you know, it's. It's crazy, like when we're getting stopped all the time in the street and, and like all this, it's a. It's that. That stuff is. Is cool for a while.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Yeah.

[Jody Glidden]

But I think in. I think it. And it's been really great for Lisa. I mean, Lisa has built a. A whole career in business that is probably starting to rival what she's making on the show now.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Yeah.

[Jody Glidden]

And that's. That's really just within the last couple of years. So I think, you know, she never really had focused on it before, and now I've been kind of like, trying to help her, you know, how to build a brand and, you know, how to think about products and stuff like that. And she's been really focusing. I've been pretty proud of her. Now that she's, like, clear of the distraction of the divorce, I think she's doing a good job. So I think it's really good for the women that, you know, use it in the right way.

[Edwin Arroyave]

So I, I understand you guys created an app for divorce to make divorce a little bit easier or more consumer friendly.

[Jody Glidden]

Yeah, exactly. So she had ran into a lot of problems during her divorce, and she was constantly calling me. I have a bit of a legal background, too. And so she was. She would ask me different questions about things that would happen all the time. Like, hey, she'd just wake up in the morning and maybe all the cars were gone from the driveway and she had to drive. She had to get the kids to school or whatever, like all kinds of random situations. And so I would help her look through the legal documents and all that so that she could save money. And then there were just de. Escalating conversations. There was like, how to find a good attorney that's not going to take advantage of the situation, all these problems. And we started having conversations about, like, you know, we could probably build something that would help you, but also help women in general that are the disadvantaged Partner, usually they don't have as much legal knowledge, as much money as the husband, and it would be a good business for Lisa, so. So I helped her get that off the ground, helped her raise money, hire the team, and she's got a whole team that basically runs with that now, and I just kind of, like, help them set weekly goals or whatever. But that's awesome. I was an investor in it.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Awesome.

[Jody Glidden]

Now I don't have to be that involved anymore, which is. My postalized business has just really taken off. We're this week, I think, going to close a really large financing to take it to the next level. So that's taken up a lot of my time.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Fantastic.

Very cool.

Fantastic. So do you have any questions for us, or do you have anything else you want to clarify about your experience on the show? Anything you want to talk about?

[Jody Glidden]

You know, I was. When the more we got talking. I know we met at Bravicon a couple of years ago, and I thought it's been such a nice network, you know?

[Edwin Arroyave]

Yeah.

[Jody Glidden]

Just meeting all the different guys, and you realize how you have a lot of things in common with them because you're all kind of subject to the same things. But. But I found you guys to be really great. I love that you guys do this because it kind of helps a little bit when you feel like your only camera time is whatever slice of camera time that Bravo decides to give you.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Yeah.

[Jody Glidden]

And it's not always the one that you want, and it's nice when people get to know who you really are. So. Yeah, I think it's nice that you guys take the time to do these kinds of podcasts, and I love that.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Thank you. Thank you. I know I'm enjoying it. Edwin, you enjoying this?

Enjoying it, man. I love hearing stories like yours, and again, kind of get to hear the story, the man behind the story. So it's pretty cool.

[Jody Glidden]

Yeah.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Yeah. And I think that's my favorite part of this is, you know, getting the opportunity to share the real man behind or with the housewife on the show. Because it's not fair. It's not fair that, you know, we don't get to be the real person on. On tv. And I get why, you know, I'm. I'm boring on tv. You know.

[Jody Glidden]

I was like. I was like, the reason I look awkward on camera is because I'm awkward on camera. You know, I'm not trying to be a housewife. I don't. I never intended to be a housewife.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Oh, I wanted to mention that, too, when I Was watching the show on Sunday. I'm like, oh, he is so uncomfortable on the camera. And. And I'm the same way. Like, I'm a perfectly cool guy. Normal conversation. But you put that big lens in front of me. I. It changes me. It just puts me.

[Jody Glidden]

I don't think people realize what it's like, because when we're doing these scenes, there's, like, you know, 10 people around you with mic booms and, you know, cameras from all different angles and stuff. And you're supposed to just have a normal conversation as though they're not even there.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Lights can be pretty hot, by the way.

Those.

Those lights can get warm.

[Jody Glidden]

Yeah, yeah.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Depending on where you're at and where the scene is, that those lights are just, like, beaming on you.

Yeah.

[Jody Glidden]

Oh, my God. These are hilarious. I don't know if you guys have seen this. There's a. Hilarious. This guy who acted out a scene of a typical house husband. He's like, I haven't seen that.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Where is it?

[Jody Glidden]

I'll have to send it to you guys. Maybe you can post the show notes or something. But it's so funny. It's this guy where he's like, what? I can't believe she disrespected our family. It's so house husband. We're all just do our part to say whatever supportive thing, but we really are not involved.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Sometimes when I get awkward like that, I'll yell out to the crew and I say, line.

[Jody Glidden]

Yeah, yeah, exactly.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Do you get more comfortable when you have some drinks on you?

Yeah.

[Jody Glidden]

Stay. Oh, my God. That was what. That was what I was doing. It's kind of like the story you told. I was drinking a lot in the scenes because I was like, I gotta get comfortable or whatever, you know? And then I was just like, I don't. We're shooting, like, at some points, five times a week. Yeah, you can't do that.

[Edwin Arroyave]

No, no, no, no, no.

You know, Eddie's very calm with the camera.

He's.

He even did a nude scene almost from the start.

It was all downhill from there.

[Jody Glidden]

Yeah, they did that in my season one, too. There was like a. There was like a scene where they were like, hey, you guys want to, like, do a date night? So we did a date night and stuff. And then. Then they're like, you know, what are you guys going to do after. After dinner? I was like, I don't know, like, maybe go hang out by the dock or whatever. They're like, how about the hot tub? And then I'm like, oh, man.

[Edwin Arroyave]

You know what they want.

[Jody Glidden]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Oh, man. So, hey, I'll leave you with this final advice. If you haven't seen this show on Netflix, it's called Unreal. It's a sort of a. I think it's an eight series reality TV kind of show, and it's about filming reality tv. And the biggest takeaway is, you know, how producers are wired to make a good show, but it'll open up your eyes on how this all works for real. Because, you know, some producers, most of the producers on our show, I love them. They're. They're really nice. They're really, really nice to you when they want you to do. Right?

[Jody Glidden]

Yeah.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Perfect example. My very first scene when I filmed, you know, the bathtub scene, the producer took me downstairs and said, you don't have to do this, but here's a shot of tequila. Seven shots later, I'm like, yeah, they just. They just know how to manipulate you to do certain things. And this show was very entertaining to watch only because we're in it, you know, we're deep in it. And, yeah, there'll be. There'll be a lot of takeaway for you for how to manage yourself in the future.

[Jody Glidden]

Yeah, I do. I do love a lot of the producers. They're really. They're really good people. And I know they're doing their job. I know that is the job. But now I probably have to probably film very little or. Or maybe not at all if it's gonna go like that. It's just.

[Edwin Arroyave]

I think it's hard not to. And this is another experience I had. I think it was year two, going into year two. I had a decent edit in the beginning because I was the knight in shining armor, you know, coming to save Tamra from her divorce or her last. Her last life. But, yeah, they. They edited me in a way where it just didn't make any sense. Kind of like what happened to you? And I had to make a choice. I literally contemplating, contemplated, you know, I can't do this show, and if I can't do this show, I can't be in relationship with Tamara. So what's more important to me? And I had to dig deep, deep, deep inside me and ask myself, like, do you see a potential in this relationship? And all the lights went up and said, yeah, you got to do whatever it takes. So I had to make. I had to literally flip a switch in my head and go, okay, I'm going to do this and I'm going to do it my way. And then you know, I'm going to stay out of the drama, out of the camera as much as possible, and only film when I absolutely have to. And one trick I learned is. I think you did this, too, Edwin. Whenever the cameras are filming and the drama starts, I always stand behind the cameraman or next to the cameraman because they can't get my. My. My reaction. They can't get me on the. On, you know, part of the drama, so they can't air it. And it's always. It's always worked for me.

[Jody Glidden]

That's a good idea. Just be careful going. Going to the bathroom or something.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Yeah, yeah. And learn how to turn the mics off. How many times have you had to tell your friends? I might just like, you're. You're working for the FBI or something, right?

[Jody Glidden]

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, my God. That girl's such a. Yeah.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Well, Jody, it's been an awesome time hanging with you. I really enjoyed getting to know you. I hope to see you at Bravicon this year.

[Jody Glidden]

Yeah, yeah, definitely.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Yeah. Yeah. I had a good time. Yeah.

Good time. Thank you for being so open, Jody. It was so much fun interviewing you, man.

[Jody Glidden]

Yeah. Really nice to see you guys.

[Edwin Arroyave]

Awesome. Well, take care, Jody. Have a good one.

See you.

Bye. Bye. That was fun.

Yeah, that was fun. I loved how open he was. It was super cool.

Yeah. And it all makes sense, which is super cool. You know, one of the things I was concerned with is, you know, sometimes, and especially in my experience over here, there's been actual real douchebags that are on the show, and they try. They interview well, they talk well, they present well. Right.

[Jody Glidden]

Yeah.

[Edwin Arroyave]

So I never want to interview those guys because they're just gonna lie through their teeth. And. And my concern was, I don't really know Jody much, but there's this controversy going on, and, you know, let's just give it a shot. Let's see what happens.

Seems very genuine to me.

Yeah. Yeah. I like the guy a lot in. Sounds like he really cares about people and his family and his. And obviously his relationship with Lisa. So. Totally cool guy. I like it.

Loved it. All right, my man.

It's great seeing you, brother.

I know. It's great seeing you, man. We gotta hang soon, catch up.

All right. Hope you're doing well. All right.

Same.

All right. Take care, bro. All right.

[Jody Glidden]

See you.
