00:13:25,104 --> 00:13:28,975
since Ryan and Bentley
have hung out
359
00:13:28,975 --> 00:13:31,010
just the two of them
and went to dinner.
360
00:13:31,010 --> 00:13:33,746
They haven't done anything
together since then.
361
00:13:33,746 --> 00:13:36,683
So I'm just wanting to do
like a check-in with Bentley,
362
00:13:36,683 --> 00:13:38,418
make sure he's doing okay.
363
00:13:38,418 --> 00:13:41,521
And I decided
to reach out to Coach B
364
00:13:41,521 --> 00:13:43,890
and have a session with her.
365
00:13:43,890 --> 00:13:45,191
- How would you say
the relationship
366
00:13:45,191 --> 00:13:47,260
with Ryan is coming along?
367
00:13:47,260 --> 00:13:50,363
- I feel like it's definitely
changed in a good way.
368
00:13:50,363 --> 00:13:53,867
He just shows up more to, like,
sports events and stuff.
369
00:13:53,867 --> 00:13:55,201
- Yeah.
370
00:13:55,201 --> 00:13:58,471
- Is there anything
I could do different
371
00:13:58,471 --> 00:14:00,707
or better to, like,
support this relationship?
372
00:14:00,707 --> 00:14:02,242
- No.
- Okay.
373
00:14:02,242 --> 00:14:05,178
It's also been challenging
for Taylor.
374
00:14:05,178 --> 00:14:08,448
- I just feel like
I can put my energy
375
00:14:08,448 --> 00:14:13,853
towards teaching Bentley
how to become a man
376
00:14:13,853 --> 00:14:15,688
that is nothing like Ryan.
377
00:14:15,688 --> 00:14:17,056
- Going through this
378
00:14:17,056 --> 00:14:19,959
and having to support
Ryan and Bentley
379
00:14:19,959 --> 00:14:22,161
and then support Taylor,
it's been tough.
380
00:14:22,161 --> 00:14:24,497
It's definitely
a tricky situation.
381
00:14:24,497 --> 00:14:25,965
- What's up, guys?
- Hey, Taylor.
382
00:14:25,965 --> 00:14:27,600
Can you hear us?
- Hey, Maci.
383
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,135
- Hey, Mace.
- Hey!
384
00:14:29,135 --> 00:14:31,037
- Hey.
- What's up?
385
00:14:31,037 --> 00:14:33,172
- We're doing good.
- Just busy.
386
00:14:33,172 --> 00:14:35,074
Nova's in cheer,
so we gotta start--
387
00:14:35,074 --> 00:14:38,278
I'm starting to plan out
travel for her competitions.
388
00:14:38,278 --> 00:14:41,748
And so I'm getting a little
taste of your guys' life.
389
00:14:41,748 --> 00:14:42,782
- Kids, man.
390
00:14:42,782 --> 00:14:44,684
- Yeah, [bleep] kids.
391
00:14:44,684 --> 00:14:45,985
- Whose idea was this?
392
00:14:45,985 --> 00:14:46,953
- I don't know.
393
00:14:46,953 --> 00:14:47,987
- It was hers.
394
00:14:47,987 --> 00:14:49,022
It wasn't me.
395
00:14:49,022 --> 00:14:50,590
[laughter]
396
00:14:50,590 --> 00:14:54,060
- So has anything happened
with Ryan?
397
00:14:54,060 --> 00:14:55,762
- I just texted him
and sent him, like,
398
00:14:55,762 --> 00:14:57,196
all of Bentley's--like,
399
00:14:57,196 --> 00:14:59,899
his wrestling schedule
for school.
400
00:14:59,899 --> 00:15:02,969
And I know that
they have, like,
401
00:15:02,969 --> 00:15:04,637
texted a little bit more.
402
00:15:04,637 --> 00:15:09,242
But I do think that they could
spend more time together.
403
00:15:09,242 --> 00:15:11,277
- How do you feel
about it all though, Taylor?
404
00:15:11,277 --> 00:15:13,646
- Not very excited about it.
405
00:15:13,646 --> 00:15:15,281
If, you know,
406
00:15:15,281 --> 00:15:17,450
it's what Bentley wants,
then I'll be supportive.
407
00:15:17,450 --> 00:15:19,552
But it's tough, 'cause like,
since I've been in their life,
408
00:15:19,552 --> 00:15:21,287
it's a revolving door,
you know what I mean?
409
00:15:21,287 --> 00:15:22,789
So like, it's gonna go good
for a little bit,
410
00:15:22,789 --> 00:15:23,890
and then it's gonna go away.
411
00:15:23,890 --> 00:15:25,391
I can't convince myself
412
00:15:25,391 --> 00:15:26,859
that this is gonna be
the time.
413
00:15:26,859 --> 00:15:28,728
Like, I'm being so pessimistic
about the whole thing.
414
00:15:28,728 --> 00:15:30,396
And I'm like, is there
something wrong with me?
415
00:15:30,396 --> 00:15:32,632
Like, do I just need
to get over it?
416
00:15:32,632 --> 00:15:34,334
- No, no, I don't--
417
00:15:34,334 --> 00:15:36,469
I don't think it's anything
to get over either.
418
00:15:36,469 --> 00:15:38,204
'Cause honestly, Taylor,
you're in a situation
419
00:15:38,204 --> 00:15:39,672
where it's like,
he has another dad.
420
00:15:39,672 --> 00:15:41,207
So that's like--
421
00:15:41,207 --> 00:15:42,675
- But you've been the dad.
- Yeah, so it's like--
422
00:15:42,675 --> 00:15:45,144
- So it's like, you are
his dad, you know, like--
423
00:15:45,144 --> 00:15:46,145
- It feels--yeah.
424
00:15:46,145 --> 00:15:47,947
That's tough.
425
00:15:47,947 --> 00:15:49,682
- It is tough, but...
426
00:15:49,682 --> 00:15:52,618
- All kids want
to know their parents
427
00:15:52,618 --> 00:15:54,420
and have a relationship
with their parents.
428
00:15:54,420 --> 00:15:57,523
So it's gotta be hard for him.
429
00:15:57,523 --> 00:15:59,892
- I know what it's like to have
a dad that's [bleep], you know?
430
00:15:59,892 --> 00:16:03,162
Honestly, I didn't have half
of the stuff that Bentley has.
431
00:16:03,162 --> 00:16:04,764
He's already ahead of the game.
432
00:16:04,764 --> 00:16:07,000
Because he knows that
he has the security and safety
433
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:07,433
Because he knows that
he has the security and safety
434

I would take some pride
in that, that you have that.
438
00:16:14,474 --> 00:16:15,541
- You're always gonna
catch him.
439
00:16:15,541 --> 00:16:16,809
- Yeah.
440
00:16:16,809 --> 00:16:17,744
- You will always be there
to catch him.
441
00:16:17,744 --> 00:16:18,945

00:16:18,945 --> 00:16:20,146
I didn't think of it
from that side.

00:16:20,146 --> 00:16:21,280
- Literally,

I was like, man,
that's what it is.

we have had

things have been being

509

our eight-year-old
510
00:18:44,274 --> 00:18:46,276

511

and people are gonna
think stuff.
514
00:18:50,446 --> 00:18:52,982
And I kept asking, like,
where is this coming from?
515
00:18:52,982 --> 00:18:54,817
- How do you help them
feel comfortable enough
516

to actually speak up on
if something has happened?
517
00:18:59,088 --> 00:19:00,390
- And that's the thing,
518
00:19:00,390 --> 00:19:02,325
because I'm sure,
as you know, you know,
519
00:19:02,325 --> 00:19:03,893
a lot of kids don't
come forward--
520
00:19:03,893 --> 00:19:08,231

it's such an uncomfortable

if parents--
523
00:19:10,867 --> 00:19:12,302

it's important that

you're having talks with them.

I don't have to kiss
Aunt Sally.
532
00:19:28,618 --> 00:19:30,219
- I think the first time
we talked to her--
533
00:19:30,219 --> 00:19:31,654
- She was, like, six.
534
00:19:31,654 --> 00:19:33,656
Did some boys say they wanted
to marry you today?
535
00:19:33,656 --> 00:19:34,724
- Yes.
536
00:19:34,724 --> 00:19:36,059
- He said
he wanted to kiss you.
537
00:19:36,059 --> 00:19:37,360
- He said he wanted
to kiss you?
538
00:19:37,360 --> 00:19:38,461
Do you think
he kind of invaded,
539
00:19:38,461 --> 00:19:39,862
came in your bubble,
540
00:19:39,862 --> 00:19:41,230
and you didn't want him
to be in your bubble?
541
00:19:41,230 --> 00:19:42,532
- Yeah.
542
00:19:42,532 --> 00:19:43,833
- So maybe next time,
you can say,
543
00:19:43,833 --> 00:19:45,134
"Hey, get out of my bubble."
544
00:19:45,134 --> 00:19:46,369

And so I feel like--
546
00:19:47,637 --> 00:19:49,138
- Do we just continue
explaining it
547
00:19:49,138 --> 00:19:51,074
the same way, or...
548
00:19:51,074 --> 00:19:52,141

549
00:19:52,141 --> 00:19:53,609
Because she's eight.
550
00:19:53,609 --> 00:19:56,079

age-appropriate kind of stuff

and a way to do it.
552
00:19:57,547 --> 00:19:59,716

about the difference
553

between a good secret
and a bad secret?
554
00:20:01,584 --> 00:20:02,952
- No.
555
00:20:02,952 --> 00:20:04,754
- Safe secret is,
"You're throwing a party
556
00:20:04,754 --> 00:20:07,056

this call with you.

709
00:25:29,779 --> 00:25:30,980
she wants to write
her own book.
710
00:25:30,980 --> 00:25:32,181
- I know.
711
00:25:32,181 --> 00:25:33,916
As far as my second book,
I was thinking
712
00:25:33,916 --> 00:25:37,587
relationships, the healing
journey afterwards.
713
00:25:37,587 --> 00:25:39,722
Something like that
is what I was thinking.
714
00:25:39,722 --> 00:25:41,457
But I wanted to get
your thoughts.
715
00:25:41,457 --> 00:25:43,226
And also, Ali's book--
716
00:25:43,226 --> 00:25:45,361
I think I want to start
that off first.
717
00:25:45,361 --> 00:25:51,200
Because it was so inspiring,
what she said, that I was like,
718
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,202
you want to write
about muscular dystrophy and
719
00:25:53,202 --> 00:25:54,937
the challenges that you've had.
- No.
720
00:25:54,937 --> 00:25:56,172
I think that's
really inspiring.
721
00:25:56,172 --> 00:25:58,007
And I feel like
that's a great way
722
00:25:58,007 --> 00:25:59,976
to connect with other kids
who might be going
723
00:25:59,976 --> 00:26:03,413
through the same exact thing
and also for parents
724
00:26:03,413 --> 00:26:05,748
who are trying to figure out
how to help their kids
725
00:26:05,748 --> 00:26:07,283

with muscular dystrophy.
726
00:26:07,283 --> 00:26:09,452

absolutely beautiful.

And there's a lot
of potential there.
728
00:26:10,953 --> 00:26:14,791
So what I would recommend
is have you write up
729
00:26:14,791 --> 00:26:18,227
just a quick, like, little
blurb about your project
730
00:26:18,227 --> 00:26:20,830
that you want to pursue next
and then also Ali's project.

We'll just iron out
the fine details,

Ashlyn, for talking with me.

Like, her breathing levels,
her oxygen level is low.
1061
00:38:06,936 --> 00:38:08,271
- How's Ryder doing with it?
1062
00:38:08,271 --> 00:38:09,539
Does she--what does she know?
1063
00:38:09,539 --> 00:38:11,374
What doesn't she know or...
1064

Cory thinks that
we should kind of, like,
1066
00:38:17,614 --> 00:38:19,816
just tell Ryder
that Maya is okay.
1067
00:38:19,816 --> 00:38:23,086
So when we talk to Ry,
Ryder checks in with her dad,
1068
00:38:23,086 --> 00:38:24,587
and Ryder asks, where is Maya?
1069
00:38:24,587 --> 00:38:26,489
And he says,
she's still at the hospital.
1070
00:38:26,489 --> 00:38:30,193
They're still working on her
but that she's okay.
1071
00:38:30,193 --> 00:38:31,394
She's gonna be okay.
1072
00:38:31,394 --> 00:38:34,697

- Throughout
Maya's recovery,
1094
00:39:27,784 --> 00:39:32,188
Ryder has been asking
quite a few questions.
1095
00:39:33,389 --> 00:39:38,061
She would just check,
is Maya okay?
1096
00:39:38,061 --> 00:39:39,929
Is she still in the hospital?
1097
00:39:39,929 --> 00:39:42,065
And every day,
she would talk to her dad.
1098
00:39:42,065 --> 00:39:44,901
I think that those
conversations helped a lot.
1099
00:39:44,901 --> 00:39:46,903
They really picked up
her spirit.
1100
00:39:46,903 --> 00:39:48,871
Because she needs her dad.
