I'm on my way to pick up
actor-comedian Tiffany Haddish.
And she's known for her
light-hearted sense of fun
that she brings to every role.

TIFFANY: I'm coming!
So clear the way!
Okay, when it comes to habitats,
this is not
my natural habitat, okay?
My natural habitat
is big cities,
cars,
that's my natural habitat.
But you know,
I think my soul's habitat,
this is it.
But usually more trees.
I'm not gonna lie to you,
I thought
I was going to the woods.
Oh, well.
Here's something you need
to know about Tiffany Haddish.
She pushes buttons.
Baby!
BEAR: Tiffany Haddish is
a Grammy and Emmy award-winning
actress, comedian,
and producer.
She's made history as the first
black female
stand-up comedian to host SNL.
I grew up in foster care,
and I want to say
thank you to anyone
who paid taxes between
Because if you wouldn't
have paid your taxes,
I wouldn't have been standing
here today, so thank you.
BEAR: And Tiffany's unfiltered
and vulnerable storytelling
extends beyond stand-up.
She became a New York Times
best-selling author
for her memoir about life
growing up in foster care.
A lot of revelations
in this book.
I'm comfortable sharing it
'cause I feel
like I can't be the only person
in the world
that's gone through
these things.
BEAR: Her ability to
share her hardship
with humor and charisma
sets her apart.
I don't know if it's difficult
for all women of color,
but from my experience,
it's hard.
BEAR: It's that positive energy
and resilience
that makes Tiffany shine,
that's going to be key
for her out here in the wild.
We out of here.
Come on, girl.
[screaming]
Tiffany,
get ready for Running Wild.
Bear gave me this backpack.
Let's see what's inside of it.
We got a tarp, a gag ball...
and a rope.
Ooh, what kind of freaky is he?
Let's go!
♪♪♪♪♪
I got you, come on.
There's some Bear
on a damn helicopter
hanging off the side of me.
Like he's Indiana Jones,
Temple of Doom.
Like he's coming to rescue
us today.
Bring your a*s on over here.
Come on, come on.
Come on, come on.

- You okay? Ready?
- Yeah!
[helicopter whirring]
Welcome to Running Wild,
Tiffany!
Yeah! Let's go!
♪♪♪♪♪
[helicopter whirring]
Okay, we're going up
into the mountains over there.
TIFFANY: Ooh!
Tiffany and I will be
making our way
through a harsh desert terrain.
We'll need
to move quickly
across sandstone fins
and valleys.
We'll have to climb our
way up a sheer cliff
using a tight slot canyon,
then make our way across
a mesa
down into a deep
valley towards camp.
Our final push will mean Tiffany
using everything she's learned
to climb up a towering
sandstone mountain
and onward to a remote
cliffside exfil.
But before our journey through
this desert labyrinth,
we first need to find a way
out of this heli
amongst this rocky terrain.
Let's hope Tiffany
is a quick study.
♪♪♪♪♪
PILOT: Copy that, okay.
♪♪♪♪♪
This white boy
is sick in the head
he think I'm finna come up off
this helicopter on the rope.

And then I thought to myself,
come up off the helicopter on
a rope or without the rope?
I'm going to take the rope.
♪♪♪♪♪
♪♪♪♪♪
Ah! Ah!
BEAR: She's a badass.
Whoo! Great job, well done.
-Thank you.
-Awesome, good for you.
♪♪♪♪♪
-Good job, you.
-Yeah, easy peasy.
-What's next?
-I love it.
She was super calm
in that helicopter.
It's not easy rappelling out,
there's a lot going on.
That was nothing.
She was, like,
zen calm, really focused,
and did it like a boss.
-Feeling good already?
-Yeah, I'm feeling very good.
He's helping me
take it off, y'all.
I've already got him
where I want him.
I think I could definitely
push her a little bit today.
We're gonna a bunch
of all of these canyons
to get up and down and across.
Our extraction is about
five or six miles that way.
Instead of calling
it extraction,
-can we call it birth?
-Yes.
Extraction conjures up
loads of bad images.
It just makes me think of
pimples and, like, you know...
-Dentist.
-Yeah.
-Go through the journey.
-Six miles that way.
Yeah, that's what it felt
like when I was being born.
It was only six inches,
but it felt like six miles.
The longest
six inches of your life.
Let's go.
So what made you
get into this lifestyle?
You got in trouble in school
and got put out the house?
That is weird.
How do you know that?
-Yeah, good guess.
-You look like the type
that would get
in trouble in school.
-Yeah.
-I could tell.
Well, you know what?
I'm not good
at very many things,
but the few things I love
are wrapped up
in all of this right here.
Good people, the outdoors.
Lucky the good Lord
gave me a job, Tiffany.
That's how I look at it.
This ain't a job.
This is an experience.
Yeah, that's true.
Do you get a chance
to get into the outdoors?
Often. I try to make sure
I get outside daily.
Oh, that's good. Yeah.
-And I'm a farmer.
-Really?
-Yeah.
-Like what sort of things?
Like cucumbers,
collard greens,
bell peppers, onions.
Got a lemon tree,
got a plum tree.
I love plums.
They're my favorite.
Same. Yeah.
Yeah, I'm just curious about
all things created by God.
Yeah, that's a great
way of looking at life.
But you were athletic as well
growing up, weren't you?
Yes, I was. I was all city
in track and field
and high jump
and shot put.
Used to do
the hurdles and triple jump.
Did I read
that you were like
the mascot
when you were at school?
Oh, yeah,
I was the high school mascot.
-What does that mean?
-I was a conquistador.
Yeah, I was a Spanish soldier
that ran around the school
during football games
and got everybody
excited about the games.
And I turned it into a little
bit of a career, you could say.
Yeah, but that's like,
amazing at a young age.
You were obviously a light.
Yeah. Find the funny,
bring the joy,
by any means necessary.
If some people get offended,
that's because they got some
stuff going on
inside their heart
they need to get over,
but, you know,
I'm coming from a place
of goodness
and trying to bring joy.
Well, the world needs that.
Good for you.
-Yeah.
-Let's keep that spirit today.
All right, let's keep it.
So we're going to head up
over the top of this.
TIFFANY: You want to go up
there?
Well, no guarantees, but
a chance we can make it through.
But that looks like a scene
out of a bad movie
where a man had to chew his arm
off in order to live.
A lot of the time when you're
trying to get out of places,
you know,
jungles, deserts, mountains,
you always want to head
downhill.
For this journey, though,
our end point
is actually up quite a bit,
and we're at a bit of elevation
and altitude already,
so this will be
a physical journey.
You know, I put hiking on here.
We might need to change that
from hike to climb.
Come on, we'll go this way.
White people.
BEAR: Good job. Look at you.
You've got strength
and balance. I love it.
TIFFANY: I coulda climbed up!
I coulda climbed up!
It's quite tight.
TIFFANY: That's what he said!
One thing I noticed,
she loves to laugh.
If you can laugh at yourself,
at situations,
that conquers everything.
Wow, look at this.
This is really opening up.
I mean, it's still tight.
Canyonland is harsh.
You can see the power
of wind and rain carved through
some of the slot canyons.
Can you get another one
out there.
TIFFANY: That's too skinny.
That's model size.
If that's the top there,
that's gonna save us hours.
There's also snake terrain.
Be mindful
where you're putting hands
in crevices
and cracks and holes.
Okay, so look,
this is as far as we can go.
This will definitely
be physical. It's hard work.
We've got to do it
like in karate moves.
But also, Tiffany's pretty
fearless with all this.
Yeah. Yeah, we're bridging.
Exactly.
With these sheer cliffs,
handholds are hard to find.
So to make our way up,
Tiffany and I
will need to see if we can
chimney climb to the top.
I'll trail the rope.
And then I'll secure it
at the top.
It's actually quite technical
to do
where you've got to brace
yourself against the wall
and get your knees up high
and use opposing forces
against the wall
to crank your way up this thing.
But it's awkward.
You've got to push
your back against the wall.
Just keep climbing your way up.
But it's your pressure against
the wall that is your security.
You've got it.
TIFFANY: You can do it.
I'm so proud of you.
Keep up the good work.
Woo-hoo! You made it!
[Bear laughs]
TIFFANY:
You look like you made it.
Okay, so that's good.
So let me secure this,
and then we'll bring you up.
This is kind of like when
we used to break into buildings
that was abandoned
back in the 1900s.
The most nimble boy
would climb up--
He done bust me
in the face with the rope.
♪♪♪♪♪
Okay, that's it. Brace yourself
back against the wall.
That's it. Beautiful.
You're bridging your way up
inch by inch.
She's got really nice
balance and strength.
Takes a little bit of sensing
that rhythm and stuff,
but she's going to smash it.
Great job. Great job.
Use your hands.
That's it.
Like opposing forces. Beautiful.
[Tiffany grunting]
[exhales]
TIFFANY: I'm one of them people
that like,
if I see you do it,
I think I can do it too.
-[Tiffany sighs]
-BEAR: Good job.
-Take a breath.
-Now take a break.
Now I might not actually
be capable,
but I will believe in me enough
that I will get it done.
Who are you telling?
I would try and get
your right foot like, high.
TIFFANY:
Alright, she not ready yet.
If I die in this canyon,
I'll be the most famous
person to die in here.
Give me a second.
[gasping breath]
Give me a moment.
♪♪♪♪♪
[tense music]
TIFFANY: Give me a moment.
[Tiffany sighs]
Now take a break.
Alright, she not ready yet.
BEAR: Take your time.
Recover.
[Tiffany breathing deeply]
BEAR: So I think I'll go there.
Left foot there
and then right foot against it.
Yeah, that works as well.
Now I've got you here.
TIFFANY:
I'm gonna put my butt up here.
BEAR: Right foot.
That's a tricky move.
You did it beautifully.
The outdoors has a way
of getting you to the most
like, awkward,
difficult positions.
Okay, we're going.
One, two, [indistinct] as well?
[inaudible]
[Tiffany murmuring]
I'm going to be honest with you.
Probably picked the wrong time
of the month to do this show.
You know, but I'm doing it.
BEAR: I'm prepared for every
eventuality in life,
apart from in a slop canyon
being able to handle
a prolapsed uterus with the one
that sneaked through my resume.
TIFFANY: Sometimes your body
be trying to outdo your brain,
but then you have to out-mind
your brain and your body,
and you have to
tell all of them,
I don't give
a damn what you're doing.
We going up here.
This is where we got to go.
I moved the way God intended.
I'm on top of the world!
You the first man to bring me
to the top of a mountain.
Morale in the wild
is always the first thing to go
when people get tired
and headaches and it's hot.
Unclip it for you.
I'm going
through puberty right now.
You're what I call unstoppable.
Hold up, I'm a human.
I can be stopped.
She really loves to laugh.
That is such a powerful weapon
in a survivor's arsenal,
it really is.
Once we're over that,
then that be canyon one done.
How many canyons you planning
on us doing today?
BEAR: It's good,
we're getting there.
♪♪♪♪♪
TIFFANY: Look at the lizard!
Lizard!
BEAR: Tell you what.
Should we just make use of this
little bit of shade
for five minutes?
Drink your water
and then we'll get moving.
Where does your wonderful,
warm personality come from?
It comes from survival.
And, uh...
I guess I try not
to be bored at all costs.
No matter what I'm doing,
I want to have fun
so I feel like the best way to
have fun
-is to have a positive attitude.
-Yeah.
You find survival skills in
life, don't you? Whatever works.
Yeah, like, I assume some
[bleep] is going to happen
out here but if I have fun
in the process, it'll be okay.
You know? Create a positive
environment as much as possible
even though
this is kind of uncomfortable.
BEAR: People are nervous
of the unknown
and you're not scared
to embrace that.
Nah. Everyday feels
like I'm out of my comfort zone.
I used to be really scared
of everything
but I figured fear is
false information
appearing real.
And so when you're afraid
get as much information
about the thing that you're
afraid of
and then push through it.
Like, go!
Did you have
that positive spirit
at that age
or did you learn that?
No, I had that spirit at 14, 15,
I had that spirit.
I mean, by then I had already
been in several foster homes
and, um...
but it felt like
I'm just like, boom!
I'm in a stranger's house again.
I'm living
with people I don't know.
Might as well make the best
of this.
Also, you want to have that
kind of fun personality
because I didn't want
to get put out.
So I thought if I was funny
and cleaned up and everything
that they would want me around,
but then
I was still getting moved.
Right? And at that time
I didn't comprehend that that
had a lot to do with the courts
and not to do
with the foster parents.
For me, I just thought
they don't want me.
-Don't nobody want me.
-Hm.
I did all these nice things
and they still don't want me.
Like, I cleaned the kitchen,
I cleaned the toilets,
I made the beds, I did--
I helped, I cut the grass.
Like, I did all these things
and they still don't want me?
[sniffles]
And it's not that
they don't want you.
It's the courts like,
okay, at this age
you've got to go here now
or you have to go there.
But they don't explain
that to you.
Nobody's explaining
those things to you.
So you left to assume.
As soon as I started
thinking back about that past,
[sniffles] I don't know
how I did it.
But I did, just like
I could not tell you
exactly
how we climbed that cave.
I couldn't tell you
exactly how it happened.
All I could tell you
was that it happened.
And that we did it.
Yeah.
I'm so sorry
you've had all of that.
Yeah, I'm sure you've
had some [bleep] too, though.
It's like, you know what--
The fact that you want
to be out here like this,
I know
some things are happening.
I know you've been
through some stuff.
-It's true.
-And I like you a lot too,
so I know you've been
through it.
-But it's also, it's okay.
-Yeah!
Like, that's life, and it--
I always remember my grandpa.
He said I never met a strong
person who's had an easy past.
It's like, if you want to be
strong, you're going to have to
deal with some stuff that's not
always going to be fun.
Right. You've never been moved
around from house to house,
but I'm sure you've been
through some [bleep].
I can tell.
I can see your soul.
I wanna give you a big hug,
but you musty, and so am I.
We smelling like humans
out here.
[laughing]
BEAR: Right, come on.
We'll keep moving.
All right.
Tiffany opened up
about very difficult times
in her life when she was
younger.
And I really admire,
first of all,
that honesty
and that vulnerability.
But also how she's learned
in life
to cope with these things,
and, yeah...
True never give up, as she is.
♪♪♪♪♪
BEAR: So we're getting some
distance now under foot,
which is good,
but the sun is dipping.
We need to keep that energy,
keep that intensity.
This is going
to be an adventure.

TIFFANY: Yeah, I'm considering
this a spiritual journey.
-Yeah.
-Today's Yom Kippur,
where you're supposed
to repent for your sins.
♪♪♪♪♪
I feel like Bear and I
got a closer connection now,
because I shared some
dark stuff.
I let him know I've been
through some things.
This how you tell men
you're crazy,
without telling
them you're crazy.
Share a little bit of
your tragedy so he understands.

of that,
she's probably not going
to give up.

-I can do it, Dad!
-You're smashing it.
-I can do it, Dad!
-You are doing it.
BEAR: Tiffany and I are
continuing onward
through a series
of sandstone mesas and valleys.
After a tough climb up,
we now have to find our way down
to the next valley,
before pushing forward
towards our extraction point.
Almost at the top here.
This is going to be good.
This will be worth it.
TIFFANY: I feel
like burning up the calories
is already worth it.
BEAR: Now look at that.
Now, that is amazing.
We need to drop off
this high ground then.
We're going to use
the last bit of this rope.
But look,
there is no way to tie up here.
We've got no trees,
no big rocks.
We're going to use this
anchor of yours.
Alright, perfect.
BEAR: So that's
a sea anchor for the boat.
That whole time I was
on the boat trying to figure out
what this was, you know...
And it is a sea anchor.
Just throw it. It acts
like a parachute in the water.
-Keeps the boat steady.
-Yes, also...
you can use it as a hat.
Sunshade, actually smart.
Yes.
Oh, it's a sandstorm!
I thought it was a device to
protect your face from the sun.
I can still see what's going on.
Do you think there's a small
chance that the sun has got you,
Tiffany,
at this stage of the journey?
TIFFANY:
No, that's my imagination, bro.
But it's not good that way
because the predators,
you can't see the predators.
Maybe a cougar or two.
Ah!!
Careful,
there's cougars out here.
-That's true.
-I know.
We're going to fill this
with rocks.
-Yeah?
-Keep me focused.
You keep focused.
I've got to keep my
eyes on the rocks.
Don't miss--
We're focused on the rocks.
Either way,
I thought it was for protection.
Ah! See?
But yet, today,
it'll be used to protect us
from dropping to our death.
This is the kind of rock
we need
because you weigh probably
about 180-something.
-I'm looking at your frame.
-Yeah, go on.
Put that on top.
That's great.
Great job.
Tiffany's got that sea anchor
that I asked her to grab
from the boat at the
start of the journey.
We're going to use that.
We're just going to fill it
full of rocks,
jam it behind a little ledge.
Put all your weight on it.
Let me give it to you.
Hopefully, there's enough weight
there and if all the pulling
direction is kind of laterally,
it won't pop out.
I think we got it.
That will be our anchor point.
Tiffany and I are rappelling
but the descent is steep
and the footing precarious.
Tiffany will need to stay
focused
as this is much harder
and more dangerous
than it looks.
BEAR: Okay, so Tiffany,
nice wide stance, yeah?
-TIFFANY: Yeah.
-It's a handle.
When you put the weight on it,
you pull the handle
and we'll release.
Let go of the handle
and you're locked on.
-Locked on.
-Okay?
There's a man
pulling on my cord.
Tiffany's pretty fearless
with all this,
but also this is tricky terrain
so it's kind of in
at the deep end.
So keep this hand
still down here
and just gently release it
and walk your way back.
TIFFANY: Yeah!
I could be in the marine.

got the marine spirit.

Where did you
first figure that you can
actually use your comedy
and do it maybe as a living?
I got my first gig,
like real gig, when I was 21.
And... I bombed.
Absolutely horrible.
But they still paid me
my $50 for 15 minutes.
Did that knock
your confidence out?
At first, I was like, maybe I
shouldn't do this for a living.
And then they still
handed me my money.
I said, I'm going to do
this for a living.
I just got to
make sure I do better at it.
-Yeah!
-And then I just started
getting on stage like every
night and writing every day.
By the time I was 21,
I knew I could make a living.
BEAR: And then
you got an Emmy for SNL.
That must have been a moment.
Oh my goodness.
Let me tell you something.
Being on SNL,
dream come true.
To be the first
African-American female
stand-up comedian to host SNL
after all those years
of it being on the air?
Honored and privileged,
and my Emmy?
[whispers] Is in my bed.
-It sleeps next to me.
-[chuckles]
Right next to my Grammy.
And when I get a man, I'll take
the trophies out the bed.
You've earned them.
What would you say the job
that kind
of changed your life was?
I feel like my life
is changing every day.
I don't think it's the jobs
that changed my life.
I think it's the mentality
that changed my life.
People would say,
oh, Girls Trip is the movie
that made her famous
and that put her on the map
and that's
the thing that is Girls Trip.
I wouldn't say that.
I would say
when I got to be on

ARSENIO: Come out here Tiffany!

freaking nine years old.
Like, taking care of my
sisters and brothers
and being homeless a couple
times and wondering like,
am I even
gonna make it past 18?
Am I even gonna live?
Because I was seeing people
die and stuff all the time.
So like, to get to there...
I knew in that moment
walking on there,
and Arsenio Hall
picked me up
and I licked his face,
and he tasted like Ovaltine.
I was like,
I could die right now.
I would be okay with that.
But God has a mission for me.
I have things
I have to accomplish here
on this planet so I'm gonna
be here for a long time.
And I got so many more dreams
and so many more things
for Little T to accomplish
and for grown up
Tiffany to accomplish.
Tiffany,
she's learned in life
to cope with these things,
and difficult things
and choose positivity
and choose humor,
and choose to keep going,
you know, despite like,
some overwhelming obstacles
for her at a young age
that no human should
ever have to go through.
And now I really admire her.

BEAR: Soak it in.
TIFFANY:
I'd have been living out here
but on this particular day
I would have stayed
under the cave.
Well, you know what they say,
only mad dogs
and Englishmen
go out in the midday sun.
[Tiffany laughs]
BEAR:
It's hot. It's dusty.
Everything's fighting against
you but we're gonna push on.
Keep moving.
Get out of here.
Okay so that is
where we gotta get to.
-This is like a rock climb.
-Yeah this is a climb.
We've arrived at the base
of a 200 foot cliff.
But it's more intense
than at first glance.
The cliff faces sheer sandstone
and extends another 300 feet
down below.
So we need to be methodical
getting up,
and do not look down.
I know it's like
pretty exposed here on this edge
but once we're over
the top of that
then we can follow the rim
of that canyon all the way.
Alright.
BEAR: So we've reached
the base of this climb
and we want to push on
and get to the top of this.
It is pretty steep.
I've pre-placed
a couple of ropes down this
and we're gonna use these
climbing tools called Jumars.
-This is a Jumar.
-Mm-hm.
This slides up it,
but it won't come down.
But we can also lean on this.
Rest, and then we go again.
It's pretty committing
because once we're on this,
if you look to
the right hand side there,
it just goes straight off here.
Five, six hundred feet
sheer down.
So I'm gonna go first
I'm gonna get to the top.
I'll shout down
[whispers] He go up first,
'cause it's ladies first.
BEAR: Keep looking up
just like she does in life
and keep aiming up
and keep moving up.
Don't be scared.
You got it, Bear.
You know how to climb.
Look at that.
It's a walk in the park.
♪♪♪♪♪
She's gonna get a workout
with this.
TIFFANY:
Come on man you got this.
Okay so about
a third of the way.
It's definitely...
...quite a long way down there.
TIFFANY:
Why you going so slow, Bear?
She's like,
just talking non-stop.
I can tell that's her way
dealing with the nerves.
Whatever it takes, it's good.
♪♪♪♪♪
TIFFANY:
Go ahead you got this.
He's on the difficult part.
♪♪♪♪♪
♪♪♪♪♪
Okay Tiffany clip in,
and then I got you.
♪♪♪♪♪
I never have final words.
I'm gonna be on this planet
a long [bleep] time.
Let's go.
Back in the 1900's,
we had this thing called
physical education, P.E.
We used to have to
climb a rope straight up
until it touched the ceiling
and then come down.
I always got an A.
I got the skill for survival.
BEAR: That's it. Looking good.
TIFFANY: I don't need no pulley
to get up there.
I can do it on my own.
BEAR:
That's it. Great.
♪♪♪♪♪
You okay?
Just... Just cramping.
Want me to come down to you?
No, no, this is...
Normally
during this time of month...
I'm laying down.
[groans]
I definitely picked the wrong
time of the month to do this.
I wouldn't
be out here in this desert
today I tell you that much.
BEAR: I think
she's just in a lot of pain.
You know,
it's what the outdoors does,
the wild, it humbles
all of us in some ways.
She's just
got to keep moving now.
It's her time to dig in a bit.
Keep going Tiffany. Keep going.
TIFFANY:
I'm physically having pain.
I know what that pain is,
and I know I can move through it
but then emotionally I'm having
a full argument with myself.
My body is like no I don't
want to.
BEAR: You got it.
TIFFANY: And my mind
is like no we're moving.
We're going to
go after this now.
I'm coming.
♪♪♪♪♪
[tense music]
I'm coming.

[Tiffany grunts]
I do not want to be over here.
I want to stay in the crack.
BEAR: Yeah.
Don't look down to your right.
TIFFANY: I already looked.
BEAR: Push that Jumar up high
and lean on that.
-TIFFANY: Okay!
-You got it.
[groaning] My back.
-My back.
-You okay?
TIFFANY: Just cramping.
BEAR:
You want me to come down to you?
No, no. It's girl [bleep].
I got it.
Give me a second.
Now it's just pain management
and emotional management.
Hold up.
I'm coming all the way.
That's what pain
is about though, right?
You'll learn so much.
Just move through that fear.
Don't sit in it.
Move through it.
Don't worry about that, Haddish.
Don't worry about that.
Don't worry about that!
Sorry I had to cuss
myself out a little bit.
That's good.
I know you're digging deep.
♪♪♪♪♪
Great job, Tiffany.
Great.
Big step. Here we go.
Great effort.
You can walk it up.
Just walk it up.
That's it.
Well done, you.

I have endometriosis.
Endometriosis
is inflammation of the uterus.
It's very painful, and, uh...
Yeah, the climbing up
the rock part, that's easy.
It's what's going on
on the inside that's hard.
Take my arm.
Let's keep going.
TIFFANY:
The emotion that is bubbling up
is me processing my pain.
Like,
hey, we're stronger than this.
This has been happening
every month since we was 13.
You can handle this.
You should be proud
of yourself.
I am.
I did it.
I [bleep] did it.
It's what I love about the wild.
It just shows the real person
eventually.
It's real life.
The outdoors does it.
Always, it's humbling.
It does it to us all.
Tiffany has been a trooper
throughout this journey.
It's truly inspiring
to see someone
push through
and overcome so much.
Her strength and heart
is incredible to witness.
If you could go back
and speak to that young Tiffany,
what would
you go back and say to her?
I would say everything
we're about to go through
is so that you can do
really amazing things.
All those dreams that you had,
you can do them all,
but you're going to have to
go through some hard stuff.
We will cry a lot.
Just push through
no matter what.
I think that's what I've seen
in you all this journey.
It's not feeling fear.
It's finding a way through it.
As you said,
keep moving forward.
-Keep moving forward.
-Be a never give upper.
-Never give up.
-Which you are.
-I never give up.
-You are a never give upper.
I am relentless.
Has that been key
in your career as well?
The key has been
the relationships
that I've developed
and how I've been able
to identify good people.
-Yeah.
-Anything is possible.
-Trust the right people.
-Like, I believe in you.
If you're doing it,
then I know I can do it.
If you're willing
to take the chance,
then I know I can take
the chance.
I believe in you.
Different people
for different seasons.
Exactly.
Everybody can't do every job.
-Yeah.
-I need 15 hugs a day.
-Yeah.
-I am 13 hugs short.
[Bear laughs]
Let's fire the smoke.
-[whooshing]
-Here we go.
♪♪♪♪♪
Tiffany is such a live wire
and a ball of positivity.
But she's also someone
who hasn't had an easy past.
And I think if you can learn
to turn difficult things
into beautiful things
and hard experiences
into positive attitudes,
there's nothing
that you can't do.
And Tiffany
is testament to that.
PILOT: Smoke.
Yeah, that's good.
She's still full
of dreams and ambitions.
Heart in her sleeve,
tears in her eyes.
And it's no surprise she
is taking the world by storm.
Tiffany,
you're a remarkable lady.
-I'm proud of you.
-What a superstar.
TIFFANY: Thank you.
Thank you for that
awesome experience.
BEAR: You're a great lady.
[helicopter whirring]
TIFFANY: This adventure has been
an amazing experience
for me personally.
I always knew I was a soldier,
you know, but now I feel
like I could really
do it if I wanted to.
Like, I could really be in
the military if I wanted to.
If I had to, like, climb stuff
and jump out of planes
and all that,
I think I could do it.
She ready.
And that's how I feel.
I feel like the epitome
of my slogan: She ready.
I surprise myself every day,
in every way.
Time and time again.
Bear, I'm so proud of you.
And I'm so glad
God made you.
I mean, without you,
I wouldn't be out here
in this desert today,
I'll tell you that much.
Yeah! [bleep] yeah!
You're a great teacher,
awesome guy,
kind of cute too, but you're
married, so you're ugly.
That's just the way
it goes for me.
Soon as I know you're married,
you become ugly.
Whoo!
No shade, just love.
Muah! Thank you.
