Brenden Durell, known from Netflix’s Too Hot To Handle, joins native Turks and Caicos Islanders and the Hosts of Talkin' Turks, Gabriel Saunders and Quinn Higgs for an unfiltered conversation about filming in the Turks and Caicos Islands, what really happens behind the cameras, and why the show feels perfectly at home in paradise.
Brenden reflects on his most memorable moments from Too Hot To Handle—including a behind-the-scenes story with Patrick Mullen—while opening up about his journey in health, mindfulness, and intimacy coaching. He also shares his vision for a Turks and Caicos wellness retreat inspired by the islands’ natural beauty and local traditions, from exploring the Cheshire Hall Plantation with Dr. Della Higgs to visiting the Junkanoo Museum and discovering the islands’ history and spirit.
The conversation celebrates the people and culture that make Turks and Caicos special, touching on creativity, heritage, and the growing influence of the islands on a global stage. From custom designs by fashion designer, Demeko Williams to the deeper connections between Turks and Caicos and West African heritage, the episode captures the warmth, humour, and authenticity that define Talkin’ Turks—including the now-famous conch pistol moment that had everyone laughing.
