Speaker 3: way on Bachelor in Paradise. She also has an upcoming

10
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 2: Ben is not with us today, so we are going

11
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 2: to just have some girl chat me and Hannah Brown.

12
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 2: Welcome Hannah Brown, thanks so much for having me. You're welcome.

13
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 2: You're like, I gotta get this through. I gotta get

14
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 2: done with this. I have way too much to be doing,

15
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,639
Speaker 2: probably a press tour right now.

16
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're in it, but it's it's so great. I'm

17
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 4: so glad to be here. I always love coming on

18
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 4: the show, so.

19
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 3: I can already predict like how this probably went last

20
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 3: minute back slur Paradise production was like, you know who,

21
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 3: we really need to get on the show to spice

22
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 3: it up, Hannah Brown, And then you were probably like

23
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,759
Speaker 3: I can't wait to just slow down before my wedding. Also,

24
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 3: I have a book launch, so I'm not really slowing down.

25
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 3: And then they ask you and you can't turn it down,

26
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 3: of course, and you've probably just been a chicken with

27
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:20,559
Speaker 3: your head cut off.

28
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 4: That is a very good guess.

29
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 3: How do I know Bachelor production so much? Well, they've

30
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 3: all changed out. I'd love to know for you, like,

31
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 3: how was it being a part of the show when

32
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 3: you didn't really know any producers?

33
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 4: It was very different. So I got a call from

34
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 4: a producer that I knew on the show, but wasn't

35
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 4: somebody that was really close with on my season.

36
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 2: I can predict there was there's like one remaining.

37
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I was like, this is like we chat

38
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 4: and I was like she called me, like I love her,

39
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 4: but kind of like a okay. I had no idea

40
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 4: because I've been just kind of separated from it. I

41
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 4: hadn't been like really into all the news of everything,

42
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 4: and come to, you know, find out that it's you know,

43
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 4: a whole new production with new executive producers and all

44
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 4: new producers there. So you know, I got to talk

45
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 4: to the new executive producer and he's great and awesome,

46
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 4: And I would say though it was very interesting, like

47
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 4: going in and like you don't know anybody in a way,

48
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 4: I guess it is kind of It was good too,

49
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 4: I mean there was like pros and cons to it.

50
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 4: I think it definitely felt like the first day of

51
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 4: school in a way for me, because I want.

52
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 3: My teachers at new school. It's like going from middle

53
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 3: school to high school.

54
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it was still so great in it, but

55
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 4: I think it allowed it to be like more of

56
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 4: like a clean slate. But it did like for a second,

57
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 4: I'm like, how do I operate with these people? I

58
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 4: don't really know? But it ended up being wonderful and

59
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 4: I'm so glad it was a part of it. But

60
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 4: definitely like took a little second for me to get

61
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 4: used to instead of like just going back into it,

62
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 4: which is probably good because maybe I didn't like fully

63
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 4: lean into all my like old hand away and then

64
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 4: was able to kind of stay as I am now,

65
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 4: which I want to show up as like a new

66
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 4: version of myself. So yeah, pros and cons for sure.

67
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 3: Tell us everything about the resort you've been to. Both

68
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 3: you've been to the old one and ply Es Candida

69
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 3: and now you've been to this new one in Costa Rica.

70
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 3: This one seems to be like more resorty for the cast.

71
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 3: They have air conditioning and there's two people per room.

72
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 3: It's not like a camping situation.

73
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: Tell us.

74
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 4: I feel like people who have been on Bachelor and

75
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 4: Paradise before would be so jealous because it's.

76
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 5: Like they looked beautiful the whole time because they could

77
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 5: go into their air conditioning room and like actually get ready,

78
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 5: and the resort it was like so beautiful and like

79
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 5: definitely an upgrade for the cast, just like overall.

80
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 4: Like living conditions. I mean, I kept hearing them be

81
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 4: like this is amazing. So yeah, very really pumped about it,

82
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 4: and it's just giving it like a fresh new look. Look.

83
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 4: I love Mexico, so I like am partials sometimes to

84
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 4: just I just I can sometimes just be loyal to

85
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 4: same the past. But at the same time, it was

86
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 4: really cool to be a part of this new and

87
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 4: exciting like change, and I think people are really gonna

88
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 4: like it.

89
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 3: Wells has always been the bartender there and now you're

90
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 3: the champagne girl, the bubbly girl, and I think it's

91
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 3: because like you are the most bubbly personality from the

92
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 3: franchise that they're like, oh, let's we have to get

93
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 3: her to run the bubbly bar. So how did you

94
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 3: guys kind of now favigate both of you working in

95
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 3: the same industry.

96
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I never like I've never made a proper

97
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 4: drink before, so there's no kind of like competing in

98
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 4: that way. Like he Wells does his job and does

99
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 4: his job well. But that was not trying to be funny.

100
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 2: But you're not probably the first one that's on that.

101
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, he he's great, and you know, has been with

102
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 4: the show for so long and so has so much experience.

103
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 4: And I'm just coming in like bright eyed, bushy tail,

104
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 4: like I don't really know what a sister doing, but

105
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 4: I can figure out how to I mean, I can

106
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 4: figure out how to pop some bottles of champagne and

107
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 4: just like get the girls together and so kind of

108
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 4: how it's definitely two separate areas. And it's it's more

109
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 4: just especially what Wells does too, as we know, like

110
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 4: it's it's it's starting more conversation, getting people thinking in

111
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 4: a different way. And so I think Wells does such

112
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 4: a great job at that and I'm just like that

113
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 4: female perspective doing you know, something similar, but the different too,

114
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 4: because we just are two totally different personalities and have

115
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 4: different things. And even when we did have the same

116
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 4: you know, insight coming from like a more feminine energy

117
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 4: versus masculine energy, I think was helpful for the different

118
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 4: cast members at certain times.

119
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 2: Were you on at different times? Was one a night

120
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 2: bartender or one like a morning afternoon one one specializing

121
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 2: in rosset ceremonies, So I would.

122
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 4: Work in the beverage industry only on rose ceremony nights. Okay,

123
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 4: it was more just like rose ceremonies are a little

124
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 4: bit like just I feel like it just like elevates

125
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 4: it starting with you know, glass of champagne and being

126
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 4: able to just like get the conversation going, and then

127
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 4: of course, well it's doing his thing too. But yeah,

128
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 4: we were there were sometimes when we had the same

129
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 4: type of schedule and then other times different.

130
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 2: Did you get to kind of be on vacation a

131
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 2: little bit or at least work from your hotel room

132
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 2: when you when it wasn't ros ceremony day.

133
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 4: So I am not just working rose ceremonies. And I

134
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 4: would do the best way to describe my job as

135
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 4: paradise relations. I kind of just did whatever.

136
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,559
Speaker 2: Are you feel? Like, what is like concierge.

137
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 4: Sierge like at on White Lotus, Like that was me

138
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 4: like this random stuff the whole time. And I feel like,

139
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 4: you know, as you know this how bachelor works, like

140
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 4: people were just kind of making it up as we go.

141
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

142
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, And so I feel like my job, even for me,

143
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 4: came more clear just as the weeks went on. But

144
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 4: I was coming in fresh, like everything was new, and

145
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 4: so just trying to figure out dynamics of you know,

146
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 4: how best I could be utilized, Like it took a

147
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 4: little bit to kind of figure that out for everyone,

148
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 4: but that there were some breaks for sure, but just

149
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 4: the way that ship works, and it's kind of different

150
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 4: than I feel I have been in the past because

151
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 4: we were all at the same resort, like you know,

152
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 4: it was like a hot set in a way, and

153
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 4: so you kind of were I was ready at any

154
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 4: time kind of being the concierge paradise relations. So there

155
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 4: was like this like little edge of like, Okay, I

156
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 4: don't need to like golf and explore because I could

157
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 4: be needed at some point. So I wouldn't say it

158
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 4: was a vacation by okay, but I did you get

159
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 4: a good tan And there were definitely days where I

160
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 4: got to lay out by the pool or go on

161
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 4: beat walks, so that was great. But where we are

162
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 4: is pretty rural, right yeah, yeah, so it wasn't like

163
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 4: there was than much you really could do.

164
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 3: Uh huh Okay, So I know obviously you can't tell

165
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 3: us about couples, but let's do our best. So is

166
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 3: there going to be any flirtation between the Goldens and

167
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 3: the Youngins.

168
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 4: I think that there could definitely be a possibility once

169
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 4: you see the cast. I mean, the Goldens are amazing

170
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 4: and they're just like up for anything, and that was

171
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 4: so fun. I know a lot of people have been

172
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 4: like concerned about, like, yeah, are we mixing goldens and yeah,

173
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 4: you know, the typical cast, and they bring so much

174
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 4: fun and they're just up for whatever. So that's kind

175
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 4: of all I can say. But look, it's a bunch

176
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 4: of single men and women who are out on the prowl,

177
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 4: so there's a lot of blurting going on at all times.

178
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 3: Hannah is like just a smile person when she talks,

179
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 3: so I can't say that her smile is super.

180
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 2: Telling here but it's a pretty big smile.

181
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 4: Yeah.

182
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 3: Heard that the Goldens are bigger partiers than the young Ends,

183
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 3: and this is something that doesn't surprise me.

184
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 4: Oh they are. They are so fun. I want to

185
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 4: hang out with the Goldens all the time. The cast

186
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 4: is so great, and I think it's really cool to

187
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 4: have that energy because just now with social media and like,

188
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 4: I think it needs to be even different from like

189
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 4: when you and I were on the show, Like people

190
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 4: care so much about how they're going to be portrayed

191
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 4: and like their image and just about the cameras, and

192
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 4: the Goldens couldn't care less. And it's awesome because having

193
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:58,719
Speaker 4: been there, I feel like they just have so much

194
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 4: wisdom to be like life, y'all are taking this so

195
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 4: seriously and this is such an amazing opportunity that we have.

196
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 4: But they're so grateful and want to like take the

197
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 4: opportunity to like just really be something that they'll cherish

198
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 4: and grow from and find love and and I think

199
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 4: that was really needed to have that energy with some

200
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 4: of the you know, younger typical cast, because I get it,

201
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 4: like it is so hard to be, you know, specially

202
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 4: trying to date and navigate love for like the public eye,

203
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 4: and like, you know, you don't have as much control

204
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 4: over it because it is a TV show, but the

205
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 4: Goldens like just really we're such a added bonus for

206
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 4: just like the fun. But also I think for the

207
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 4: younger contestants to just be like, y'all, are y'all are

208
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 4: not doing something right because they're having way more fun

209
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 4: than you are, and like I feel like that really helped.

210
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 2: Okay, So my theory on that is that the young

211
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 2: ones are looking.

212
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 3: For well, first off, you're just not going to be

213
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 3: as comfortable in your skin at that age, and you

214
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 3: probably are when you're in your sixties. But in addition

215
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 3: to that, they are looking for somebody to like have.

216
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 2: Kids with, like do life with. And then the older ones.

217
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 3: Are looking for somebody just kind of like have fun

218
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 3: with and their last not last chapter.

219
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 2: I mean they're in their sixties most of.

220
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 4: Them, but yeah, no, there's not as much pressure. Yeah, yeah, totally.

221
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 4: I hadn't really thought of it that way, but you're right.

222
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 4: I think they're there and they're like I never would

223
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 4: have thought I would have had this opportunity for like

224
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,439
Speaker 4: this second chance at love at this season in my life.

225
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 4: And so yeah, the pressure is not as much there.

226
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 4: They're like this is like such a gift instead.

227
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 2: Of like this is a serious percesess here.

228
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm like, oh my gosh, I've taken off. You

229
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 4: know a lot of people have to like take time

230
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 4: off their jobs, and you know that don't know how

231
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 4: the show's going to end up for them, and it's

232
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 4: not going to If they get to find love, they're great.

233
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 4: But what happens after him they don't. Is that going

234
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,319
Speaker 4: to set them behind? Is it gonna what all it's

235
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,839
Speaker 4: gonna tell? So you're totally right. I hadn't thought about that,

236
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 4: but I think just to help with the pressure having

237
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 4: the Goldens there, like just reminding them like this it's

238
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 4: so fun and it's it's such a cool opportunity to

239
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 4: be able to like the one thing you're doing for

240
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 4: you know, a month, is hanging out and really hopefully

241
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 4: there with people who are also really intentionally trying to date. Yeah,

242
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 4: it's so cool. I think it's such a cool experience

243
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 4: and fun to be able to be.

244
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 3: A part of Who has more romance? Is it the

245
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 3: Goldens or the Onions Are there more on one side

246
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 3: than the other or is it kind of equally divided,

247
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 3: and then of course tell us how it is divided

248
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 3: in the house or is it not at all?

249
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, I mean they're they're together, I would say,

250
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 4: but just as we said, like, the Goldens don't have

251
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 4: as much pressure, so I wouldn't say that they they're

252
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 4: having so much fun. And then there's romance because it's

253
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 4: Bachelor in Paradise and there's romance and fun, and so

254
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 4: I would say that even though the show is new

255
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 4: and different, there's a different dynamics it being Costa Rica,

256
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 4: Like I'm involved, there's goldens, there's still a lot of

257
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 4: romance that people are going to see and a lot

258
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 4: of fun. So hopefully the answered your question with the

259
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 4: what I can.

260
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 3: Say, okay, okay, and then I know you're not gonna

261
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 3: be able to answer this, but with your hand of

262
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 3: brown smile.

263
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 2: Are there proposals? Why do I feel like there's a

264
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 2: less pressure of a proposal this time around.

265
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 3: I don't know whether it was the year break, but

266
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 3: for some reason, I feel like that's not necessarily the

267
00:14:58,680 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 3: goal right now.

268
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 4: I mean, I think that's the hope, you know, like

269
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 4: that's the hope, is that there are relationships that at

270
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 4: the end feel strong and confident about taking that next step.

271
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 4: But what I will say about this time just overall,

272
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 4: is with just this whole new like batch of people

273
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 4: with a different perspective, I do think people will see

274
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 4: a difference of it really is just kind of watching

275
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 4: these people do life, and it's it's kind of it's

276
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 4: it's not like as much pressure just in general. It's

277
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 4: like we want to help in any way possible to

278
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 4: facilitate people falling in love, but we're not going to

279
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 4: there's no like forcing people to do anything they don't

280
00:15:54,640 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 4: want to do. So yeah, it really it's it's cool

281
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 4: to see, like, you know, if you just let people

282
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 4: be themselves, like it's gonna be entertaining and you're you're

283
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 4: gonna see different dynamics. You're still going to have the

284
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 4: drama and the you know, questioning these big life choices

285
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 4: that you have in such a short amount of time

286
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 4: on the show, Like typically you're never even like thinking about,

287
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 4: you know, getting engaged in a month, and of course

288
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 4: everybody's going in with that on their you know, at

289
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 4: least on their mind, and it's just them having to

290
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 4: navigate how do I feel like where my relationship is?

291
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 4: So yeah, maybe maybe people won't feel as much like

292
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 4: everybody has internal pressure on themselves. But that's what you're

293
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 4: gonna see, is like the internal pressure and questions and

294
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 4: between these couples.

295
00:16:50,440 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 2: Okay, did you make good friends with any of the

296
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 2: girls any of the guys?

297
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 4: You know, I did not know really anyone.

298
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 3: They should have had Heather there with you, I know,

299
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 3: I know, right, Yeah, that would been fun.

300
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 2: That'd been a nice girl dynamic.

301
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:21,959
Speaker 4: Yeah. I like I said, the whole thing felt like

302
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 4: being you know, at a new school for the first time.

303
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 4: Everyone is so lovely and there's so many people that

304
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 4: I felt like I was more like a big sister

305
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 4: to people, like just coming in and being like, what's

306
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 4: going on? How are you feeling? Because like, typically it's

307
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 4: everyone's kind of in their own drama, and so even

308
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 4: though I think it's so awesome help even just like

309
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 4: being a contestant on on the Bachelor, like you make

310
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 4: friendships there, you're kind of going through the same things.

311
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,199
Speaker 4: You can talk about it, but sometimes it could be

312
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 4: hard because it's like, Okay, I know you're going through it,

313
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 4: but I need somebody to talk to me. One that

314
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 4: was like able to understand what was going on, but like,

315
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 4: I don't have a relationship that I'm trying to like

316
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 4: navigate here in this Paradise world. So I definitely feel

317
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 4: like I am such a fan of so many of

318
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 4: the men and women that are people are going to

319
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 4: get to see, you know, go through their journey of love.

320
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 4: But I was more kind of that that role, if

321
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 4: that makes sense, not like because because the show and

322
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 4: like my what I hope is that it's not always

323
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 4: just about I'm trying to facilitate them finding love and

324
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,959
Speaker 4: being a champion for that and greeting for them. But

325
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 4: we can be besties after, you know.

326
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:55,120
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, it's like you can fratnize with the cats basically.

327
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 2: Kind of all.

328
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 3: Right, So last question about Paradise Dale Moss and people

329
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,360
Speaker 3: are kind of surprised to see him there.

330
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 6: How is he?

331
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 5: What do you like?

332
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 4: I think Dale is lovely and it would be really

333
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,919
Speaker 4: cool for people to see him on the beach.

334
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, you were just talking about how you, you know,

335
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 2: didn't have to navigate your own relationship there were you

336
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 2: so thankful? You're like, I am so grateful that I'm

337
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 2: watching these people try to find love instead of being

338
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 2: the one trying to find it and just thanking God

339
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 2: for Adam at home.

340
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's really tough out there. Yeah, it's

341
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 4: just tough out there. And but then there was also

342
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 4: like it was really sweet to watch people fall in

343
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 4: love too, like that feeling and seeing that like giddiness

344
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 4: of people. Yeah, I feel like I'm in a very

345
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 4: healthy relationship, but there's nothing like when you're first.

346
00:19:56,080 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 2: Like somebody telling my friend yesterday because she feels like

347
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 2: everybody is like kind of going further in life personally

348
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 2: than she is, and she's feeling like left behind romantically

349
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 2: and like family wise, like kids, you know.

350
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 3: And I said, well, at least you get to experience

351
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 3: that like finding your person in the honeymoon stage of

352
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 3: the first time and we're all done with that.

353
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 4: Yeah. No, it's so sweet and so cool to see.

354
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 4: And so I did love that, like being able to

355
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 4: like see people like be so giddy and nervous and

356
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 4: then like, yeah, have these like really awesome dates and

357
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 4: fall in love Like that was sweet to watch. And

358
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, that's the best feeling and just

359
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 4: so thankful that like I'm in the season of life

360
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 4: that I'm at now, Like it gave me both of

361
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 4: like you know, looking at that and being like, this

362
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 4: is so cool to see people get to have these

363
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 4: beautiful moments and in a very like strange way, like

364
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 4: you know, it's kind of weird that you're like falling

365
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 4: in love with like cameras watching you everywhere, But that

366
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 4: makes it so cool and exciting for me because I'm like, Wow,

367
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 4: you're really going for it, and a lot of people

368
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 4: that would be really hard and like, y'allre like pushing yourself.

369
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 4: So I love that. But yeah, then it made me

370
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 4: really thankful to be where I'm at now because like

371
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 4: just being back on the show just felt like a

372
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 4: truly like this like redeentive thing, Like I didn't know

373
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 4: what I know now, and I've talked about this before.

374
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 4: I'm not like a, oh, there's just one person for you.

375
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 4: I don't that's not like what I fully like believe in.

376
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 4: And I do think like, man, if I would have

377
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 4: known what I know now, I think I probably would

378
00:21:59,920 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 4: have just done the whole experience differently. And and I

379
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 4: want to be able to like help steer people into

380
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 4: like really taking advantage of the thing. I had to

381
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 4: learn so much. I've had to do so much work.

382
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 4: It would have been hard for it to be different

383
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 4: at any time versus now, But like I loved being

384
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 4: able to be there and be like, wow, like these

385
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 4: people are going for this and can actually like get

386
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 4: the best out of the experience and not just be

387
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 4: like entertaining, Like I was great at being entertaining, But

388
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 4: it's being able to fully like fall in love Like

389
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 4: that was gonna be really hard for me now looking back,

390
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 4: knowing what I know now and now that I know

391
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 4: more like what love is. It just felt really cool

392
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,679
Speaker 4: to be back in the place. It just full circle

393
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 4: was cool.

394
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, So you and Adam have had some cute little

395
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 3: Instagram reels where he rates your dresses. It's been so

396
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 3: fun and so entertaining. What kind of dress? Have you

397
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 3: given him any hints as to what kind of dress

398
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 3: you're gonna be wearing?

399
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 2: And has his feedback? I need to know if his feedback.

400
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 4: Don't love my dress? Okay, gonna love my dress from

401
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 4: his feedback of things? Okay, okay, So I feel confident,

402
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 4: but his feedback has been so fun, Like I I

403
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 4: felt that that was just I was worried. I was like,

404
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 4: is he going to be like want something so different

405
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 4: than what I ended up choosing, but from the videos

406
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 4: and how he writed them, I think he's gonna really

407
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 4: love my dress.

408
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 2: Is there one dress?

409
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 4: Two dresses of course, and Dan two dresses.

410
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 3: And I didn't want to do it to either Hannah

411
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 3: when I was always gonna be like, no, I want

412
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 3: to find a dress that I love so much that

413
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 3: I don't want to take it off, and that is.

414
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 2: Not how it goes. Apparently, well, I found one that

415
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,479
Speaker 2: I wanted to that I was like, I, nope, I

416
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 2: apparently have two styles that I feel just as confident in.

417
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 4: So for me, I like, I still love there's still

418
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 4: one that I loved the most.

419
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 2: Like yeah, same, same, yeah, But I.

420
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 4: Was talking and people are like it it can get

421
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 4: really annoying, especially with the type of dress that I have,

422
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 4: like it's gonna start to not feel comfortable, and so

423
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 4: I wanted to have something that I felt like I

424
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 4: could be really comfortable and that's also just like equally

425
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 4: as beautiful and it's still like very me. But yeah,

426
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 4: even like my welcome party dress is like basically another

427
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 4: wedding dress too. It's saus it's ridiculous, but it's okay, No.

428
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:49,360
Speaker 3: It's the best. Yeah, you need to fully embrace every look. Yeah,

429
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 3: it's a great time. And I will say that if

430
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 3: I wore my real wedding dress, the one that I

431
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 3: walked down the aisle, I wore it to the reception

432
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 3: for a bit and then and I said, when we

433
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 3: really started dancing and we really did the cake cutting,

434
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 3: I wanted to change that because I did want to

435
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 3: wear that dress for the first dance and all like

436
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 3: a lot of the ceremonial stuff. Let me tell you,

437
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 3: it was so huge. I had quite a hard time

438
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 3: navigating the room.

439
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 2: So as soon as I put the other one on,

440
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 2: which was.

441
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 3: Still a ball gown and still poofy, Yeah, it was

442
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 3: a huge relief. And you don't really even understand the

443
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 3: weight that comes with the big, big ball gown.

444
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,719
Speaker 2: Yes, well maybe do you from pageants.

445
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 4: Have ever done packed? I've never done.

446
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 2: I've never I never did a big ball gown.

447
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 4: Ever did a big ball gown? No, But I feel

448
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 4: like I could navigate a dress okay, but yeah, I

449
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 4: would say there's a little bit more volume to my dress.

450
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 4: So I'm like a little nervous about, like, yeah, how

451
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 4: to navigate that, because I want to do I want

452
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 4: to do our first dance in my I call it.

453
00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 4: That's my dress. But I'm good. Yeah, I'm just going

454
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:02,360
Speaker 4: to do it because I want.

455
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 2: You have to do it.

456
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, because that's my dress exactly, the.

457
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 2: Fun dress, the party dress. It's the party dress. Yeah.

458
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 3: You were so kind to come to my baby sprinkle

459
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 3: last year where we talked about you deciding whether or

460
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 3: not you were going to do destination wedding, a smaller wedding.

461
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 3: You wanted to keep it pretty intimate, you have. You

462
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 3: eventually chose France. Yes, so tell us what you can

463
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 3: while still keeping something surprising when all the good stuff

464
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 3: hits Instagram.

465
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I feel like a crazy person for

466
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 4: doing a money Oh, like what this was so dumb.

467
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 4: It's going to be It's gonna be so pretty, but like,

468
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,199
Speaker 4: but also I didn't know how crazy this season of

469
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 4: life was going to be. Yeah, like I did, but didn't.

470
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 3: You did not know that they were going to ask

471
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 3: you on Paradise six weeks before you had your wedding.

472
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 4: No, I had no idea and just what that kind

473
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 4: of like compounded on it, And I knew that even

474
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 4: like the press of the book was going to be

475
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 4: a lot. But I I think it's gonna be great.

476
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:13,919
Speaker 3: Once we get there, it is gonna be great. I

477
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 3: promise you have a wedding planner, right, yeah.

478
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, But I still like trust think about me. I'm

479
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,360
Speaker 4: just like, if I think people think that I can,

480
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 4: I could be like so fun and just like I am,

481
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 4: I am the opposite of a go with the flow person.

482
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 4: I'm the absolute opposite. I want to be go with

483
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 4: the flop person. So I don't have the capacity to

484
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 4: handle all these things. So I feel like I'm a

485
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 4: type A stuck in a tight b experience right now and.

486
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 2: Likely the same person.

487
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 4: And I'm just stressed out because I can't do it.

488
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 4: But I want it done a certain way, and so

489
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 4: I'm some light little ball. I'm like, somebody just needs

490
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,719
Speaker 4: to like I just need like somebody to like pop

491
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 4: my bubble so I can just be floaty. But I'm

492
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 4: not at all. So it has been a challenge. Once

493
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 4: we get there, it's going to be great. I understand

494
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 4: why people just go elope or go to the courthouse.

495
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 4: That's all.

496
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, as somebody who's obsessed with their wedding, and

497
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 3: this is people might judge me for this. Jared, and

498
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 3: I constantly say that our wedding was still better than

499
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 3: the day that our kids were born.

500
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 2: Why tell me why? It was legit just like a masterpiece.

501
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 3: It was executed exactly the way all your wildest dreams

502
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 3: like of your wedding and beyond. It was so well

503
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 3: done thanks to our wedding point our Troy Williams and

504
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 3: his whole team, like he had a team of seven

505
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 3: people in addition to him.

506
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, it was a romantic epic. It was just

507
00:28:57,960 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 2: exactly what.

508
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 3: We wanted and and it was the day that I

509
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 3: remember more vividly than any other day probably. And when

510
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 3: we say it's better than like our kids' birthday, I go, like, Dawson,

511
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 3: I enjoy you today way more than I enjoyed you as.

512
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 2: A one day old. You know, so I think it

513
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 2: makes sense. And also it's just like birthday is a

514
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 2: big deal, but it's a stressful, hectic day, and but

515
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 2: you learn to love your child.

516
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 3: It's like doubles every single day. But anyway, you are

517
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 3: going to be so happy you did it the way

518
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 3: you did it. I know you will be.

519
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 4: And I would, yeah, I would be bummed if I

520
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 4: really did just go to the Corehouse probably, But like

521
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 4: right now, and then this I'm like so much eesier.

522
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, you probably just feel like a little out of

523
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 3: control too, since it's out of the country, so you

524
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 3: feel you can't like go there and put your hands

525
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 3: on it.

526
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like, I think I'm going to be just as

527
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 4: surprised as like when you're like, it went exactly the

528
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 4: way I wanted to go. I'm like, nah, I don't

529
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:58,239
Speaker 4: fully even know how it's going to go. I'm just

530
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 4: having to try to trust that it's gonna be great.

531
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 4: We have wedding planners that are amazing, and so that's

532
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 4: just hard for me.

533
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 3: The last month or two is harder too, because you

534
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 3: thought that picking out the big things months ago was

535
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 3: gonna be the real planning part, but now you realize,

536
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 3: like there's these all these little nuances, and that's what

537
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 3: you worry about going according to plan. Now, most people

538
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 3: tell you you can't expect everything to go to according

539
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 3: to plan, and if you do, that's when you'll be disappointed.

540
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 2: So don't do that. For some reason, ours is really went.

541
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 3: However, our pictures went like way over, so we had

542
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 3: to rent out the space for an extra hour, to

543
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 3: which I was like.

544
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 2: Dad, Dad, we have to we have to add another hour.

545
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 2: Oh no, yeah, I mean I would have paid for

546
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 2: the extra hour. But also, hi Dad.

547
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 4: For you you know, that's also a difference, Like you know,

548
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 4: we're taking on it more financially, so it's yeah, you

549
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 4: know that that brings another little pressure to everything too.

550
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 4: But it's going to be amazing.

551
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 2: It's gonna be amazing.

552
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 4: I can't wait to be there. But I'm so excited about,

553
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 4: like I have to remind myself, like these are all

554
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 4: things that I've wanted to do, like being back on

555
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:17,000

Speaker 4: like life has given me. I have to like, sometimes

567
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,479
Speaker 4: gratitude can be hard for me. I hate to say that,

568
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 4: but like I can just get so like in the

569
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 4: midst of life and can be critical. But I'm trying

570
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 4: to remind myself, like, this is all the things that

571
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,200

00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,960

Speaker 3: to dive into the book. Yeah, but this is so

589
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 3: interesting to a lot of people out there. I remember

590
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 3: I used you as clickbait. I'm sorry for the podcast.

591
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:15,800

Speaker 2: Click here to find that way. And we're living together

593
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 2: and there was like ten thousand clicks.

594
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 4: It's definitely like a different situation because we had lived

595
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:33,719
Speaker 4: together before. But we just our faith has been really

596
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 4: a big part of like our relationship and how we've

597
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 4: grown together as a couple. And you know, there were

598
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 4: so many things that we were trusting and like in

599
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 4: our faith and like our beliefs, and and there's just

600

601
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 4: we've been together, doesn't really matter, and we just felt

602
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 4: convicted to just like, Okay, we're gonna like fully trust

603
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 4: God in this and the part of our relationship and

604
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 4: we could do it. And it's been like it's in

605
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 4: every way it's tough, but we're we believe that we'll

606
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 4: just have like blessings in our marriage for it and

607
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 4: not like it's not to make anybody feel bad for

608
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 4: not I mean we lived together for years, Like it

609
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 4: was just like what we felt for our relationship and

610
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 4: just where we were and in our spirit was the

611
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 4: best for us. And so yeah, we did it and

612
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 4: it's been great.

613
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 3: Is there any part of you that's like, oh, and

614
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 3: now we have to live together again, and I'm not

Speaker 3: looking forward to that component of you.

616
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 4: No, Adam is a great partner to live with, Like

617
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 4: he's like on it, like I'm I've been like I'm

618
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:49,399
Speaker 4: so much. But we see each other like every every day.

619
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:55,280
Speaker 4: So it's not you know, it's it's more just making

620
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,360
Speaker 4: sure the things that we say that we value in

621
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 4: a line like actually match the way that we live

622
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 4: out our lif our life, and we kind of went

623
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,399
Speaker 4: to the extremes of that, but you know, mm hmm, well,

624
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 4: always trying to shake things around.

625
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 2: No, I love it. I think it's great. I love it.

626
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 3: I love the traditional component to it. I told Jared

627
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 3: that we would not live together until we were engaged,

628
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 3: and that is what we did. I love that, and

629
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 3: I wouldn't have done even that necessarily. I could have

630
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 3: waited until we were married. But just because he didn't

631
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 3: have a home in la he was living with Nick

632
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 3: by all, and then Nick was like, I'm moving to

633
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 3: another house, and I was like, I'm not making you

634
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 3: live in.

635
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 2: Venice, so come on over you. I got a ring

636
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 2: on my.

637
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 4: Finger now, yeah, totally, No, it makes so much sense.

638
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 4: So Yeah, it's been it's been great. But also especially

639
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:56,439
Speaker 4: like when I am, it's been so busy. It does

640
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 4: suck at some point because you're just like just one

641
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 4: your person with you, even if it's just to like

642
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 4: for the little moments and things. So you know, we're

643
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 4: getting close. So it's it's been good and we feel like,

644
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 4: you know, we were called to do that for a reason,

645
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,800
Speaker 4: and we're excited.

646
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:22,320
Speaker 2: You are living in the house that you guys bought. Yeah, okay,

647
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 2: so he will get out of the other place soon.

648
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 2: Did you sell Did you get rid of the other rental?

649
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,759
Speaker 4: Yes, we were just renting that place. He's in like

650
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 4: this amazing like short term rental almost like hotel that

651
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 4: he's insane yet, which has been nice because like he's

652
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 4: he's going to be kind of sad because it has

653
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 4: like every amenity. It's in like this perfect location. I'm

654
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,840
Speaker 4: going to be sad. It has like a beautiful heated pool,

655
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 4: like sauna, cold plunge, pick a ball corner, look at

656
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 4: that little thing like it's amazing. In the room, like

00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 4: he has like a that comes in like cleans's room

00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 4: up every week. You know, so he's been loving that.

659
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 3: Oh wow, Okay, well, Hannah, the reason that you're here

660
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 3: really is to talk about your new book.

661
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 2: Yes, you had your first novel come out, Mistakes We

662
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 2: Never Made.

663
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 3: It came out last year, and then you kind of

664
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 3: teas to us that there would be a follow up

665
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 3: of sorts, not a direct sequel, right, and that is

666
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 3: coming out in a few weeks. This one's called The

667
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 3: Four Engagement Rings of Sybil Rain. Yes, so can you

668
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 3: tease to us what this.

669
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 2: Book is about? And you have to read the last book.

670
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 4: You do not have to read the last book to

671
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 4: read this one first. It's like in the same universe.

672
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:53,280
Speaker 4: So the characters, you know, have some overlap, but totally

673
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:55,800
Speaker 4: safe to start with the Four Engagement Rings, the Civil

674
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 4: Ragin and then you know reading the Stakes we never

675
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:04,879
Speaker 4: made or just read one. But this book, the fun

676
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 4: part of it, like the light, the part that makes

677
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 4: it like this fun beach read gives very much like

678
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:16,360
Speaker 4: Forgetting Sarah Marshall Vibes in a year ago was a

679
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 4: runaway bride and is like needing a much needed vaka

680
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 4: and so she decides to use her ticket vouchers that

681
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 4: she has that would have been her honeymoon to to

682
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 4: finally go and have some time to relax, and unfortunately

683
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 4: she runs into not one but two of her ex

684
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 4: fiances on the beach and has to just oh, yeah,

685
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 4: we got foreign gamers girls. That's right, she's got more

686
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 4: than me. Yes, she has to like figure out how

687
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 4: to navigate that. But really, what the book is about

688
00:38:56,120 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 4: is dealing with your past and being able to kind

689
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 4: of like learn to love yourself first so that you

690
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 4: can actually perceive the love that you actually deserve. And

691
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 4: I would say, like this book ended up being a

692
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 4: lot more personal than I thought it was going to

693
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 4: be because it's definitely been a journey. A lot of

694
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 4: people ask like, oh, look, is this based on your life.

695
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,840
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, thank god, this has not been my life.

696
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:32,359
Speaker 4: But a lot of the thoughts and feelings that Sybil's had,

697
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 4: especially when it comes to commitment and being with a

698
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 4: man that's you know, so great for her, but feeling

699
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 4: like she can't fully like her past defines her in

700
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 4: certain ways. Like I've really struggled with that, and especially

701
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:50,760
Speaker 4: in this relationship that I'm in now, there were years

702
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:55,919
Speaker 4: and seasons where gosh, just my mistakes and beliefs about

703
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 4: myself and beliefs about love. It really hindered me from

704
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 4: being able to you see what was in front of

705
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 4: me and fully receive it. And so Sybil definitely has

706
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,799
Speaker 4: that part of me that when people ask, like, how

707
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 4: much of the book is you, I'm like, there's a

708
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,839
Speaker 4: part of that that is definitely like things that I've

709
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 4: struggled with and to have overcome and it's been really

710
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 4: cool to like overcome them and get to like have

711
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 4: Sybil had that same happily ever after experience too. So

712
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 4: that's what the real book is about. But it has

713
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:36,879
Speaker 4: all the fun, you know parts of the Beach Tree

714
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 4: that makes you just want to like read it in

715
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 4: one setting, preferably you know, with a nice you know,

716
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 4: cocktail in hand with some pool service. But uh, I'm

717
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 4: really excited for people to read it. I think they're

718
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:52,920
Speaker 4: really gonna love it. And I feel like it was,

719
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 4: you know, a labor of love and things that after

720
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 4: the first book people like, we want to have we

721
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 4: need to know about Sybil, so they'll have a lot

722
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:06,479
Speaker 4: of those questions answered. If you did read the first book,

723
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 4: and if you didn't, like you're going to have this

724
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 4: fresh new book and character to grow to love.

725
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 3: So obviously you relate to the main character. Now I

726
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 3: have to ask what the four ex fiances? Did you

727
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 3: kind of model them after four x's in your life?

728
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:29,320
Speaker 4: Not really, I've been asked this once before and No,

729
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:35,759
Speaker 4: I feel like one of the characters is definitely I

730
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 4: think some of the goodness of him comes from my

731
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 4: fiance Adam, like just that character. There are parts of

732
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:50,320
Speaker 4: him that I definitely how he can like hold Sybil

733
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 4: in certain ways. It's definitely how I feel like Adam

734
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 4: can navigate life with me. And I will say that

735
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 4: there are are other characters that, yeah, I mean, I like,

736
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 4: they're not like fully based off one person, but there

737
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 4: could be people that people could maybe be like, oh,

738
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 4: it's kind of based off this guy who knew me

739
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:17,240
Speaker 4: a little, But not not anything that I'm like this character,

740
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 4: I just like, may have changed their name and they

741
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 4: have all the same little quirks and personalities and would

742
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,840
Speaker 4: do the same things. No, but definitely had some inspiration

743
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 4: from some people in my past. Yeah.

744
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 3: When Hannah Brown writes a book, people want to know, like,

745
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 3: it's a Taylor Swift song?

746
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 2: Is this about Peter Tyler? Jed her current?

747
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 4: Yeah?

748
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 3: All right, So when does it come out and people

Speaker 2: Yeah.

761
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 3: And finally, when you were writing this book, how did

762
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 3: you like How was it different than the first process

763
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 3: of writing a novel?

764
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 2: Which one did you prefer more?

765
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 4: The first one felt like easier in a weird way,

766
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 4: like it just I don't know, it just was a

767
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:49,399
Speaker 4: little bit of an easier process. I definitely still had

768
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 4: pressure on myself, don't let me wrong. I don't know

769
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 4: how to not like put extreme amounts of pressure and

770
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 4: stress on myself. But the second one, I just really

771
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 4: was shocked and so so proud of how everybody loved

772
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 4: the first one that I really wanted to make sure

773
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:06,839
Speaker 4: this one was, you know, even better. In some way.

774
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 4: And I think because I related to Sybil even more.

775
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 4: She's like the messier parts of me that are like

776
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 4: entertaining for people to watch, but when it comes to

777
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 4: like your own life like kind of like to have

778
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:22,320
Speaker 4: to like navigate those types of thoughts and feelings. And

779
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 4: she's a little bit more nuanced of a character, and

780
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:29,880
Speaker 4: I think people are going to love her, but she's

781
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 4: messy and she like makes the wrong decisions sometimes with relationships,

782
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 4: and you're like, come on, girl. So it was very

783
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 4: important for me to get her right to where it's like, gosh,

784
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 4: you understand why she does the things that she does,

785
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:50,240
Speaker 4: like you have like compassion for her and you're rooting

786
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 4: for her. So it was a little bit more of

787
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 4: a challenging task than the first one was. But I

788
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 4: do think it with the hell of my co author Emily,

789
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 4: like where we really I think stretched as far as

790
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 4: the writing and even like just in different details. I

791
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 4: feel like the book is set in Hawaii, so even

792
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:19,240
Speaker 4: just like really making setting more of like a character

793
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 4: in itself, and that it kind of just helps like

794
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:26,400
Speaker 4: get people really in the world in a more lush way.

795
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 4: I just feel like there was just a lot more pressure,

796
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:34,320
Speaker 4: but also like this want to even just be better

797
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 4: than the first book. And I feel like people who

798
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 4: have read it have really noticed that too, which has

799
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 4: been such a compliment and like we really all the

800
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 4: hard work and the moments that were stressful was all

801
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 4: worth it.

802
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,920
Speaker 2: And as I love to compare you to Taylor Swift,

803
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 2: do you feel that now as a New York Times

804
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 2: best Selling author, USA Today best Selling author, do you

805
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 2: feel like every book needs to top itself? Does it

806
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:01,280
Speaker 2: get stressful if it if it doesn't.

807
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:06,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, So, knowing this season this was going to be in,

808
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 4: I had to have that like conversation on myself and

809
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 4: my team of like why am I doing this? And

810
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 4: in a past it was just I just want to

811
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:19,880
Speaker 4: be able to say I've done the thing and I

812
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 4: really want to continue being an author, and I also

813
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 4: want to enjoy this season, and so I can have

814
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 4: to try to learn to not put so much pressure

815
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 4: on myself. It's like it has to be I want

816
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,840
Speaker 4: to know that my work is actually better than the

817
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 4: other one. But as far as like does it have

818
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 4: to to always top like in other people's eyes or

819
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 4: from the world, I have to let that go. But

820
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 4: as far as what I know, the quality of my work, Like, yeah,

821
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:52,880
Speaker 4: I do want it to always be better than the last.

822
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 4: Like that is important to me. But as far as like,

823
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 4: there's so much that goes into these like lists and

824
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:04,799
Speaker 4: things that are not just is it's actually way more

825
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,359
Speaker 4: complicated than people think, Like I had to let that

826
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 4: go and like just be proud of the work that

827
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 4: I'm doing and try to be in this season of

828
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:15,399
Speaker 4: life where I am getting married at this season and

829
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 4: doing everything I can to get this book in people's

830
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 4: hands because I am really proud of it. And I

831
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:22,320
Speaker 4: think if people love the first one, they're going to

832
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 4: love this one even more. And if you're intrigued, read

833

Speaker 4: than the first one. So yeah, that's I'm trying to

835
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 4: find that balance of like truly just being proud of

836
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 4: myself for knowing that I'm getting better and that being enough.

837

Speaker 2: even numbers.

841
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:53,239
Speaker 3: Why stop it, But you're right, what's important is that

842
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 3: you feel like it's a better piece of work, piece

843
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:57,800
Speaker 3: of art, and we're.

Speaker 3: You're just killing it like everything, Hannah Brown rocks it.

846
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 3: I was so excited to see you going on Paradise.

847
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 3: You do make me want to watch it more.

848
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:11,360
Speaker 2: And I feel like that's the production. How am I

849
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:12,759
Speaker 2: feeling about going just.

850
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:15,759
Speaker 4: Like watching new like no not about me?

851
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, like no, yeah, yeah, like watching it with

852
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 2: a new production crew. Yeah, Like it's like melancholy. Yeah,

853
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 2: I mean it's so weird because I've always felt like

854
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 2: I'm rooting for the people behind the scenes because they

855
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 2: were the ones that like set me up with this

856
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:35,359
Speaker 2: life that I have now, so I love them so much.

857
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:37,359
Speaker 2: So I do feel like I'll be a little bit

858
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:39,799
Speaker 2: detached for it, But I also really want the show

859
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:41,840
Speaker 2: to do well because I want the whole franchise to

860
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,319
Speaker 2: continue totally. And if it.

861
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 3: Doesn't do well, then, you know, that would be so

862
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 3: sad to have this. Yeah, and I don't think it'll

863
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 3: ever like go away forever, but if it does go

864
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 3: away for a little while, you know, still, so it

865
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:57,840
Speaker 3: would it would be bizarre.

866
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 4: I think people are going to be really excited and

867
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 4: it There's going to be a lot of newness and

868
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 4: just all the things that Bachelor and Paradise is but

869
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:11,400
Speaker 4: just with like some fresh eyes, and so I don't know,

870
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:12,240
Speaker 4: give it, give.

871
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:12,479
Speaker 2: It a show.

872
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:14,879
Speaker 3: Oh you know, I'm giving it a shot. I could

873
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:16,960
Speaker 3: never have Paradise on and not watch it. Plus I

874
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 3: have the show, but I love Paradise. I hope it's

875
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 3: successful in every way, from being entertaining and fun and

876
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:25,839
Speaker 3: lighthearted because that's the best part of it is how

877
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 3: communic it is and self aware. And then I hope

878
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 3: that we get some good couples out of it too,

879
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:34,439
Speaker 3: some long lasting couples. Yes, And then I would love

880
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 3: for you to come back after the wedding to tell

881
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:39,920
Speaker 3: us that it was the best day of your life,

882
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 3: and then to also tell us about how you have

883
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:45,800
Speaker 3: two uteruses, which I think.

884
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:50,359

Speaker 4: That's all pictures.

887
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:57,799
