68
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,480

69
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: I didn't know what I was supposed to do. I

70
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: didn't know what they wanted. I didn't know why I

71
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: would do this. I just didn't know. And so they

72
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: called a few times and say, hey, you want to

73
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,560

Speaker 1: it's it's hours. They're stopping and going. There's emotions that

152
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: you want to get from the guy. I mean, I

153
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: remember Brian, you know, and we were in Spain together.

154
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I have to keep on pulling and

155
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: pulling and no, he was really great. Now, he was enthusiastic,

156
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: he was very I remember, you know, meetum in the

157
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: room and it was he was He had a white

158
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: shirt on as well. It was like we're white, but

159
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 1: everyone everything were short shorts and white. You know, they

160
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 1: make me, well, they don't make me. This is who

161
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: I am with the suit. Oh my god, I'm rambling. Well, well,

162
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: I want it Okay, so you talked a little bit

163
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: about Brian. I this is my first time meeting you,

164
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: but you met Garrett, and Garrett raves about you. He

165
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 1: I think that was the most exciting point when we

166
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: were in the Maldives was him meeting you. I think

167
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: he invited you out to his tomato farm he did

168
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: in California, to go. If he's still waiting for you

169
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: to call, you know the queerest thing. I don't want

170
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: to use an excuse. I don't know how to use

171
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: my phone. I don't have context. I would. I would

172
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: text him every day if I knew him his number.

173
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: I lose it. I'm struggling in the bathroom. Someone just

174
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 1: text me from the Alabama Museum or something. I'm loaning.

175
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: We'll kneel. I'm gonna get your number after this and

176
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: I will call you. You call me. It's so much better.

177
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: And once you're on my chain, like the food chain,

178
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: I know who you are. We're gonna get you on

179
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: into the tomato field. I'd give anything to see you

180
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: instead of picking rings, you're picking tomatoes. I would give

181
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: anything out to see you out there and your hat

182
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: and your sack and out there picking it. I had

183
00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: tomatoes for breakfast. You from Garrett Stands Farm were yellow ones.

184
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: So the first time you were with this show, you

185
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: didn't come to the proposal, but we have thereafter seen

186
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: you at numerous proposals. What has been your favorite place

187
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: to go to? Well? Can I just can I say that? Baby? Yeah?

188
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: I had no idea of the show, and so it

189
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: aired in Hollywood time and real time which is fake time,

190
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: and you know all the other time that we put together.

191
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: So I think it was like three months later or

192
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: two months later. I didn't realize the show was airing,

193
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: and it it aired, and it was incredible. It was incredible,

194
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: the exposure. How many people called, emailed wanting to rain stories,

195
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: you know, and well overwhelmed, totally overwhelmed, like wow, what's

196
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: this all about? So I said him, hmm, you can

197
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: do this again. You're gonna go. So the next time

198
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: I went, I went to Hawaii, but again I wasn't

199
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: fully immersed in the energetic system what the batchel was about.

200
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: So I flew there on one night, someone met me.

201
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: I walked on the beach. I got in the morning

202
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: and did my thing and left. I didn't really stay.

203
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. The question was yea, what's been your favorite

204
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: place because we've seen you at a number of proposals,

205
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: favorite location that you've been to, because you, oh, you've

206
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 1: been all over. You're not gonna believe this. You're gonna

207
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: think that I'm taking you and you Becca, Rachel. That's

208
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: why I sound we're gonna count. He's gonna forget your

209
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: names bands that you got nervous. I know, you know

210
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: who I am about. This is hilarious. I think this

211
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: is hilarious. The next time you asked me, I'm staying

212
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 1: a different name. Though, the next time you forgetting her name,

213
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: she's getting another band. Okay, I already know the one

214
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: I want to It's like, you know, the one that

215
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: in your family, like you say everything to them and

216
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: but you know, so they're stranger, you know. But so

217
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: my favorite place. What I was gonna say, Rachel and Becca,

218
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: and it's not. It's still truth. The two locations that

219
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:12,959
Speaker 1: I did your proposals were my favorite location. Oh hell yeah,

220
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: High five I wanted. The Maldives was my dream location.

221
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 1: So the fact that you went there after amazing. See

222
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: I obviously we have no idea where we're going, so

223
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: it was a complete surprise. I thought I was going

224
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: to freak out because you're stuck on this little island,

225
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 1: but it's very romantic. It was, I think, the perfect place.

226
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: How long did you say there? Seventeen years? Because because

227
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: they knew I'd be jet lagged nine hours or forty

228
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: nine days in the desert or something like that. I

229
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 1: landed with Moses. I don't know how many fights. Part

230
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:51,719
Speaker 1: I was definitely in the Middle East. We flew to

231
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: I don't know, Dubai, and I slept in the airport

232
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: and they got a nine o'clock flight and flew someplace

233
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,599
Speaker 1: else and lay over thirty seven thousand years. It's like

234
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 1: five to and then I took a boat. But do

235
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: you travel by yourself? Because I'm concerned so so this

236
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: is the funniest part about everything. People yourself. Yes, I

237
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 1: could bring an assistant, but it's very funny. I need

238
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: so much time alone to figure it all out, to

239
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: get my act together. I don't want to have to

240
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: worry about if Courtney on Michael or South did you

241
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: go to the bathroom? Did you eat? Are you? Are

242
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: you good? Because I don't want to worry about them.

243
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: I don't want to worry about me. And we traveled.

244
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: Is that a bad thing to say when you traveled out?

245
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: When you travel are you bringing the rings by yourself?

246
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: Or are thereby? I can't say, I can't do. You

247
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 1: gotta watch the show to people are going to be

248
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: people are not going to be scouting for him in

249
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,599
Speaker 1: the airport to be like, where where's the goods? You

250
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: got insurance though? Yeah, but you know that the rings

251
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: get there? Okay, okay, I just what they care about

252
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: is how I get there. They know the rings are

253
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: gonna get Yeah, you've been to call me now? And

254
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: then how you doing? Friends? You know that I'm Rachel.

255
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: Remember Rachel? Remember Spain? Remember Brian tall, good looking, thin guy,

256
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: remember him, white teeth, remember him? You know me? You

257
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: remember you got two rings? Things? Bling guys, Rachel? I

258
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: remember Rachel. But anyway, Spain was my favorite. You know

259
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: why because I'm going to reveal today. No one knows

260
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: that I'm a serious artist. So I've been painting and

261
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: drawing my whole life. And actually I did my first

262
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: exhibition in thirty years this weekend at a gallery, Sarah

263
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: Gavlak Gallery downtown LA in a group show up. So

264
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: when I went there, I went to see the you say,

265
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: I can't remember, the museum, the Google High Musine at

266
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: Bill Boo, and so to be able to combine working

267
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: and seeing this all amazing arms was fantastic. Now, Becca,

268
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: that's your name. One doesn't really know how much I

269
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: love the Mystery of bats. The Mystery of bats. I

270
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: know it's kind of scary, but they had the most giant,

271
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: beautiful bats in the world. That sounds like an oxymoron.

272
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: They were slapping and when I was on my bicycle,

273
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: I could see them like, oh my god, they're that.

274
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: They're like giant, like I think there's face right now.

275
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: They were three or four one hundred feet wide. So

276
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: it was you saw Batman, I saw Batman, and I

277
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: filmed them and I have on my video to film it.

278
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: And it was one of the most relaxing trips, fabulous

279
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: because people were amazing. It was remote. I had my

280
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: own little room. I jumped in the water naked on.

281
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: The sharks were coming. Look not for you, babe, Oh

282
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: my god, is this supposed to be revealing? We're getting

283
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: me exclusive today. No one is going to look at

284
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: you the day when you come out there give them

285
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: your bachelor voice. Uh hey, Brian nice to meet you.

286
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: Are you ready? It's a big day, isn't it. Yep?

287
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: I've got six rings here for you. We're going to decide.

288
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: I'll help you along the way. We're gonna do it.

289
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna look at you anywhere. They're gonna hear this back.

290
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: And these are two totally different people. With the holiday

291
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: seasons coming up, you're probably thinking, Man, I need to

292
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: go to the grocery store and pick out all the

293
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: ingredients I need to make that great holiday mill. Or

294
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: you can be like me and order it on an app.

295
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: Because if you're like me and you can't stand and

296
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: go to the grocery store just to take that time

297
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: wandering from aisle to aisle, you just want to be efficient,

298
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: you gotta use door Dash. Door dash is super easy.

299
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: All you do is open the door Dash app, choose

300
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: what you want to eat, and your food is delivered

301
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,600

326
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: your favorite part of these love stories? So that's sweet

327
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: of you to say, because in the beginning I didn't

328
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,959
Speaker 1: feel that I didn't understand it. You know, here I

329
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: was a guy alone going and meeting people that didn't

330
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: really know. I didn't really know the energy of the show.

331
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 1: I didn't understand real fake you know, people say, oh,

332
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: you do that show that you know, like, oh, they

333
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: don't really love each other. You know. I didn't understand

334
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: what I was doing. And so in the beginning I

335
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: just went and I didn't really intermingle so much, said

336
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: in my room, not because it was anti social. I

337
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: just I didn't know how to interact with the crew

338
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 1: because everyone was very chummy. And then I started to

339
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 1: really relax and meet the people and I felt a

340
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: lot of love. I felt part of it. When I

341
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 1: saw the producers, the men and the women, producers cheering

342
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 1: that people, that they took care of the women, A

343
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: guy with a guy with a guy girl. You know,

344
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: they care of it. They really felt about Wow. I

345
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: was impressed. And then how a lot of crewe people

346
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: got together, they had their romance. It was a family,

347
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:18,479
Speaker 1: a real family, and I don't think the world knew that,

348
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: or I didn't know it. And when I got part

349
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: of it. I felt part of a family and I

350
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: loved it, and I began to really care about the people,

351
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: like like family, Like wow, I'm part of someone's happiness

352
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: and that became important to me. Yeah. Well, I will

353
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 1: say beautiful, it was beautiful. That was beautiful. Tears over here.

354
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: I will say. When people think of The Bachelor, of

355
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: course Chris Harrison comes to mind, but also I think

356
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: now it's also Neil Lane, Like you are just such

357
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 1: a face and a man in a presence of the show,

358
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: and I don't think that will ever go away. So

359
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: I want to say thank you because you not only

360
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: made me the most beautiful engagement ring that I could

361
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: have I've ever expected or imagined, but just thank you

362
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: for being with us and helping all of us find

363
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 1: our perfect reign with the perfect person. It really means

364
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: a lot, it does. I thank you, Becca, I thank

00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: creativity and people in my lives. I do. I mean

368
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: I just do. And I'm fortunate and blessed that way.

369
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,479
Speaker 1: But seeing the warm welcome that you're giving me, Rachel,

370
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 1: and hugs and you you Becca really makes me feel

371
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 1: that I don't fully understand or understand my my my

372
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: my my role, you know what I mean. I sometimes

373
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 1: I feel a little left out, you know what I mean,

374
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 1: because I don't know myself. I don't know to be

375
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: immersed in this beautiful energy and I want to be,

376
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: but I'm so sometimes so private. So you're getting to

377
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 1: know me, but I get nervous on the set. I

378
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: do put the Neil Lane, you know, like Showtime, you know,

379
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: and ABC. I think likes that. They like the suit,

380
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: they like the briefcase. They like I like this side.

381
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,360
Speaker 1: I like getting to know you, the real, the real

382
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 1: Neil Lane. Thank you. Yeah, I mean truly, Please, don't

383
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 1: ever feel left out because you are such you are.

384
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: I mean, Becca said it best. There's Chris Harrison and

385
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: there's you. You don't understand it. It's almost like what

386
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: you are what makes it official? Totally one thousand percent. Yeah,

387
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 1: if there wasn't a Neil Lane aspect to the show,

388
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: I don't think it would be the same Bachelor that

389
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,919
Speaker 1: I grew up watching. That's very sweet of view that again,

390
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 1: I embrace it. I feel part of this Bachelor nation,

391
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: which I didn't even know the word a year ago. Yeah,

392
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: you know, I you know that someone sent me a giffee.

393
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: They have me and a giffee on a bus with

394
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: all the bat I have no clue. They said to

395
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: me last night, what did you get that? I don't

396
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: even manage. No, you you're on a giffie. I'm telling you.

397
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 1: I want to look this up. Now you see what

398
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: I can find. No, it was funny, Oh right, yeah, yeah,

399
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: I just it was so funny to see it, and

400
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 1: I was thinking, what did they thought? Like, you know,

401
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 1: I don't know how did they do that? How did

402
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: he manipulate that? We look at you have five people

403
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: in the crowd, but oh did you which side which

404
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: Neil lane? Did they get to say? Oh? The between

405
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: one between you, the one not on Clary? That right there.

406
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 1: Let you know how much you're a part of the

407
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: Bachelor experience. So you were a part of the fifteen

408
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: year reunion special where a group of fans got to

409
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: experience not just the bachelorettes, but also got to be

410
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 1: a part of the mansion, meet Chris Harrison and you,

411
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: because that is how the whole package. Yeah, can I

412
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: ask you a personal question, not a personal question, but

413
00:22:54,359 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 1: how do I get more involved in a dialogue? I

414
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: get more screen time. I don't say you know what

415
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: you should do because I love you. Harrison's job, no job,

416
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: serious question? How do I get more TV time? No,

417
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: it's not how do I How do I engage with people?

418
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: I don't know how to do that. I will say,

419
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 1: I'm okay. So when I got engaged with Garrett and

420
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: I think Neil Lane, your Instagram page had posted a

421
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: picture of my ring, and I just went through and

422
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: scrolled through the comments is who people were saying, and

423
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: same with some of the other ones. And I think

424
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: a lot of guys for the most part, oh, I

425
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: don't want to say only but watch the show because

426
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: their girlfriends or in their future fiances watched the show

427
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: and now I think it's like their go to of like,

428
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: oh I can get my girl from this ring. And

429
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: so I'm reading the comments not only from girls but

430
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: from eyes too, like oh, it looks like I gotta

431
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 1: like up my game and get a Neil Lane. And

432
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 1: so I think I would love to have you be

433
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: a part of the dialogue a little bit more. No,

434
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 1: And I was like, I'm sort of stepping out without

435
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 1: the suit, like I'm stating my own Instagram, not the

436
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 1: brand instagram called Nielanka Tour. And I'm thinking maybe that

437
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: is maybe that's not even the right thing. Maybe to

438
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 1: be a Nei Lane artist, I'm you know, I don't know.

439
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm opening up. I want all my worlds

440
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: I want to come together. Well, let's talk about that,

441
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: because there is so much more that you do. I mean,

442
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: we you are known for nil Lane Jewelry, which we

443
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: do follow on Instagram, but there's you said it earlier

444
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 1: as we were talking. You're an artist first, so you

445
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 1: have so many different things going on. So like, let

446
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: the people know what else. I don't know how to

447
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 1: do it. I mean, maybe even want to help me.

448
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 1: But then they put the thing in front of me

449
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 1: and said, you know, you have to tell them that

450
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 1: you know what you how you design this ring. You

451
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: have to tell them like you know back in his ring,

452
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 1: Oh you're ring. I mean it was handmade. I designed it.

453
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: I sat in the workshop. I see the metal work

454
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 1: being done, I see the diamonds, and and sometimes it's horrible.

455
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: It doesn't come out the same way and I have

456
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:10,959
Speaker 1: to scrap it, and then I have to leave. In

457
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: three three days and as to be photograph. I angst

458
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 1: about these rings. This is my personal personal energetic system

459
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: in these rings. I anst about them. I think, what

460
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: does it mean for you to have a three stone ring?

461
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: You know? I knew that you loved Ovals. You know.

462
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: Sometimes I talk to the public and I said, well,

463
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 1: do you meet the girls before? And I said, I don't,

464
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: but sometimes I have their energies. Sometimes they came to

465
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: the store because they did a date night, so I

466
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 1: get a glimpse of a girl. I think I met

467
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: you once before. I'm not sure, maybe not. I'm talking

468
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 1: to rachel Or at a party, or I try to

469
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 1: get as much as I can from the producers about you,

470
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: about you, you know, to understand so that when I'm

471
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: sitting with the guys, I feel prepared that I can

472
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: talk about you. And I knew you liked oh Wool

473
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 1: and what happened with with with if I can talk

474
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 1: about Ari and now because it all worked out well,

475
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,360
Speaker 1: you're you know, and it was so painful, but I

476
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 1: wanted to still give you the oval because you loved

477
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: Ovals well. And I think you bring up a good point,

478
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: and I will say so being a contestant on The Bachelor,

479
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: we don't really have a say in in the ring

480
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: where we're going to get. Of course, like during the

481
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 1: lone time, you can kind of make hints at what

482
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: you would potentially want if you were to be the

483
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: one at the end. But when Rachel and I were Batchelrets,

484
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: we have much more say. So at least when I

485
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,880
Speaker 1: was the lead, I was like, okay, I love his rings.

486
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: Of course they're all gorgeous, but I do like oval.

487
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 1: I also one thing that I really wanted because I

488
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,199
Speaker 1: wear my mom's wedding band and it's gold, and you

489
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: know it's it's thirty plus years old, and so I

490
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 1: wanted something to match that. So that was my one

491
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: request on the show is if he's going to create

492
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: my dream ring, could it be gold? And so we

493
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: actually have more of a say. And of course I

494
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 1: had no idea what it looked like until Garrett opened

495
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 1: up the box, so it could have gone any which way.

496
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: I had no idea, and I will say when I

497
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 1: opened or when I didn't physically open it, but when

498
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: Garrett got down on Winnee and opened it, I was

499
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,479
Speaker 1: blown away. And so you do take the time, and

500
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: you did listen to what I was requesting. And but

501
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: it's like your baby, it is your pride to jo

502
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: thing that I want to I don't want to do

503
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 1: what I want to do. I'm gonna do because I

504
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: have to design it. So that's part of what I do.

505
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 1: I really want to make you happy, and and and

506
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: and the guy. I sort of lose myself there. It's

507
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: not about me anymore. I get a lot of credit after,

508
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: which is amazing, But for that particular moment, it's really

509
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: about is she gonna love the ring? Is he gonna

510
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: love the ring? Is he gonna love the ring enough

511
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 1: to propose with it? It's a very romantic synergy. When

512
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: Brian got the pear shape, I mean he was he

513
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 1: just couldn't take his eyes off it, the pear shape.

514
00:27:55,920 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: And I think what I experienced, which you you may not.

515
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 1: I'm experienced with these two guys envisioning their love for you,

516
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 1: getting on their knees, taking this ring, which is magical

517
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: to them. This is your their princess, and they're choosing this,

518
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: this ring, which represents this physical little thing, this jewel thing,

519
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 1: is representing all their love and their heart. And I'm

520
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:29,400
Speaker 1: experiencing that and that's amazing for me. That's amazing for me.

521
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: It's it's like I said, I think they only show

522
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:37,399
Speaker 1: three minutes five minutes, but no, but that's fine. But

523
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: the process of with Garrett, he was really full of life.

524
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: I will talk about oh I know, no, but he

525
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: was really full of life. He's he was so genuine,

526
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: so genuine, and there was just a sparkle that I

527
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: can see him grinning the way he grins down like

528
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: a country guy, his whole face. He's the sweetest dude.

529
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: He's just a sweet sweet man. And I can see

530
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: the love in his heart. And I wanted to make

531
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 1: sure that he got the ring, so I wanted you

532
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: to like the ring. And it was like wow. And Brian,

533
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: he was very cool, very cool, you know it was

534
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: it was it was the room was dark because we

535
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: did inside a room and it's not a dark so

536
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: with with Garrett, it was out in the sun. Brian's

537
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 1: energy was very special. He had a lot of love

538
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: there and and he I think he was envisioning, you know,

539
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: proposing with this ring. And you may have said something

540
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: about a pear shape, so I was dead, okay, you

541
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: may have. So I have all the energetic systems. I

542
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: feel it. I can feel it because you know, when

543
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: I showed the ring, they don't really know what a

544
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: pear shape is. That's the para schape, you know, you

545
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: could think the oval could be a pair. So it's

546
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 1: a magical moment. Uh, it's divine. It's in a magical

547
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: moment for me, I think for the gents um and

548
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: then your moment when when they proposed is magical things. Now,

549
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: your mom had a pear shape ring, right well, I

550
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: remember Brian telling me afterwards the story that you had

551
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 1: shared with him about your mom having that same ring.

552
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: So when I grew up in the sixties, not eighteen sixties,

553
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: I remember my mom, you know, she was cooking and

554
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: making the chop meat or chicken soup, and I could

555
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: just see that ring and it was a pear shape

556
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: and interesting enough, which I never really shared before. It

557
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: wasn't a full pair of shape. My dad couldn't afford

558
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: a full pear of shape, so it was a round diamond,

559
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: which was a round diamond and a smaller diamond below it,

560
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: and the shape of the bezel was a pair. So

561
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: I wanted to do a pear shape and homage to

562
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: my mom and my dad, and when I started designing

563
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: for K Jewelers, I wanted to share that with the world.

564
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: Now I had a bigger platform to take all this

565
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: aesthetic that I had, all the Hollywood glamor and glitter,

566
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: and you know, it's not have to say it, but

567
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: you know, I've designed rings for some of the most amazing, sweetest,

568
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: kindest glamorous people. Movies does people, and it's you gotta understand.

569
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: I'm from Brooklyn, and not that I'm lower anything like that,

570
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: but I worked my way up. I was picking garbage

571
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: when I was twelve or fifteen years old to make

572
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: some money because my household wouldn't have that much money.

573
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: And money was always an issue. And I understood antiques

574
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: a little bit because my father collected some. I say,

575
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: don't touch that. That was like a couple hundred bucks,

576
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 1: and so it gave me an idea that something could

577
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: have a value. And in my neighborhood in the seventies,

578
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: people were dying. They've been there like fifty years, and

579
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: they've chucked everything out in the street, and I'd find it.

580
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: I didn't mean to diverge, and I'd start selling it

581
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: to make a living. And so as soon as I

582
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: made a first fifty bucks, I was free. Point. I

583
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: was saying that I worked myself up until I had

584
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: some money. I went to Paris. I know it's one

585
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: of the part of the script, but I should talk

586
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: about that. But I was studying art my whole life,

587
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 1: and so when I started collecting these things, I probably

588
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: couldn't drive it. I was sixteen, so I had a

589
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: driver's permit. I used to take my dog around the neighborhood.

590
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: She was exhausted. I'd walked all over and then I

591
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: go back at night with a flash id to collect

592
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: what I saw. And that was in the winter, but

593
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: I'd have to put in the garage. And then when

594
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: the springtime came in New York, I would do the

595
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: flea markets and I started selling these things. I had

596
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: no idea what I was selling. I was singing a

597
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: dance and I was saying twenty bucks, fifty bucks. And

598
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: when I saved enough money, I went to Paris because

599
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: I dreamt of it, because I studied art my whole life,

600
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: Western art, not like Asian arts. So I didn't I

601
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 1: didn't go to Japan. I wanted to go see the

602
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: Mona Lisa, and so my life changed, I broadened my

603
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: whole scope at the point I was making the last

604
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: forty years, thirty forty years, I've been filled with amazing things.

605
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: I've been to castles, to queens and queens and did

606
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: I was invited to royal households. I did royal weddings,

607
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: Middle Eastern weddings. I saw every museum and every art

608
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: that I could from from from the Louver to up

609
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: in Haworth, in in England, Scotland, everywhere, and I came

610
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: back with this knowledge. I was living in Brooklyn, and

611
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 1: then when and I was doing my artwork, so I exhibited.

612
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 1: I was the youngest printmaker in a Brooklyn museum. Um.

613
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: And then when I came to Hollywood, I met these

614
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: amazing young movie stars. They weren't yet famous, and I

615
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: was friendly with them like friends, and then started designing jewelry.

616
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 1: And then when they became famous, where Angelo Jolie came

617
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:51,719
Speaker 1: in and got a Brad Pitt band. I mean, who

618
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: are waiting? Yeah, but you have to understand when you

619
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: say who are we? You are? Who you are? You are?

620
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 1: Wei wei? You are those? No, but you are Because

621
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: I've dealt with so I've so many amazing experiences working

622
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: with Ellen or a ring with Porsche. I wanted to

623
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: share that I had a lot of stuff to give,

624
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: and I couldn't just give it from my little store. First.

625
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: I wasn't. I didn't have that store that you. I

626
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 1: had a little counter when I first came together, and

627
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 1: I had a little jewelry count ten feet Why so

628
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 1: I wasn't who I am today then. But all this

629
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 1: energy and all this knowledge, I wanted to share it,

630
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,320
Speaker 1: and so I was able to. When I did the

631
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 1: collection for k it was more mass level. I could

632
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: in hand make it, but it's my aesthetic and I

633
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:40,240
Speaker 1: wanted to share. I mean, how many people like Rachel

634
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 1: of Better, how many people get to be in your

635
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: position now? But really it's it's got to be now,

636
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,280
Speaker 1: but it's got to be a dream that you've risen,

637
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: and people look at you and follow you and emulate

638
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 1: you and think about you when you bring good energy

639
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: and you're trying to I see the things that you

640
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: do and I hear you. I know what's happening, and

641
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 1: you're doing positive things. And here I have all this

642
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: amazing stuff to share, and I had this opportunity to

643
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 1: share with America, not just a little not just you know,

644
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: the people in Devilly Hills or Hollywood. I had the

645
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: whole America and then more to the world and a wow,

646
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: and I would say this whole thing. I want to

00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 1: cry now to be with you. It's just a journey

648
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:28,800
Speaker 1: which is breaking amazing. Yeah, I mean I feel blessed.

649
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 1: And I know people use the word blessings all the time,

650
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: and it's a good word, but it's like you have

651
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: to be careful with that word. You have to understand

652
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:37,320
Speaker 1: what it meant, and you have to really believe it.

653
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 1: And I do believe it. I'm sitting here, You're you're

654
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 1: interviewing me like I'm important, and what's important is the

00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:50,399
Speaker 1: sharing of this love. That's what's really important, and you're

656
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:56,439
Speaker 1: giving me the opportunity. I'm like, right, I can't even speak. Yeah,

657
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 1: I mean I feel like we need to see your

658
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 1: break for a second, because I first of all, give

659
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: this man more dialogue, like he said in the beginning,

660
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: because what you were saying so but isn't it? But

661
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: but Becca like you feel it, and I hope you

662
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 1: guys that are listening right now can feel everything that

663
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: Nil is saying because it's so special and it goes

664
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 1: so much deeper than just the piece of jewelry that

665
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 1: you guys see on camera. I mean you can hear

666
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 1: it as voice. I'm watching you, so I see it,

667
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 1: but I can just hear it the passion and the

668
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: love that you have for what you do, not only

669
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 1: for what you do, but to share, like you said,

670
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: to share it with others. That's something truly special. That

671
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: takes a very special person, very hard to share your love.

672
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,320
Speaker 1: How so how did you get into this? You describe

673
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: you being an artist, and I want to get more

674
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: into that, but we see you as a jeweler, So

675
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: how did you find your passion for jewelry? So? I

676
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 1: was always an artist as a little boy, very creative.

677
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: I remember my mom. We had a little house in Brooklyn,

678
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:53,959
Speaker 1: just a little house in Marine Park, just a little house,

679
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 1: and we had a basement. It wasn't finished. We had

680
00:36:56,600 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: a We actually had a and those days they had

681
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,360
Speaker 1: an oil tank I think it was no it was coal.

682
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 1: It was coal and had a coal shooting the side

683
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 1: of that. I was a built right in nineteen twenties,

684
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 1: and the coal man would come and put coal down

685
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 1: a shoot and that would be the heating. And it

686
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 1: has been in the basement, so it wasn't finished. So

687
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 1: it was a little local lady that used to come

688
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 1: and she used to teach me and my sister aunts

689
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 1: and crafts like plaster of Paris, putting it in a

690
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,240
Speaker 1: dish and then sticking like maybe she brought costume Julie

691
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,399
Speaker 1: with her little things, little things, and those little things

692
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 1: started to sparkle. So my mom tells me when I

693
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,799
Speaker 1: was a little kid, like six or seven. I've said

694
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: this before, she would walk me as you walk a

695
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 1: little kid, you know, in the park. We had a

696
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 1: park not too far away. And when I came back

697
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: from these walks, she'd have to empty out my pockets.

698
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:47,439
Speaker 1: They would fill all this colored glass. And I don't

699
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,320
Speaker 1: remember that, but she didn't. And I think at the

700
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: early age I was interested in sparkle. I didn't understand it,

701
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:56,240
Speaker 1: but it's just sparkle. And I was drawing and painting,

702
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 1: and that was six years old. But then in high

703
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: school I started painting and drawing that it are students

704
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 1: league in Paris, and but I found antique jewelry. There

705
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 1: was something I was in a small shop on Paris,

706
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:12,359
Speaker 1: not the fancy place where well the big shops are

707
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,760
Speaker 1: like at a Plasta Undome, but the side streets, smaller

708
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:18,320
Speaker 1: little streets that a little antique jewlry shops, little vignette

709
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: sores that weren't as big as big as this room,

710
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 1: little tiny room, but elegant. And they had jewels in

711
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: the window, and I'd stick my face in the window,

712
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 1: and I'd never seen stuff like that, and I was

713
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 1: just wow enthralled. It was amazing. And then I couldn't

714
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 1: afford anything. I mean, I had, like, you know, four

715
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: thousand dollars to last me a month. You know, I

716
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 1: was staying in a garrett for thirty garrett thirty bucks,

717
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 1: twenty bucks a night. You know, seven floors up. You

718
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,399
Speaker 1: hit your head in the dormer windows because a short window,

719
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 1: it's attic. You know. I don't have times I hit

720
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 1: my head. But I was in heaven heroes in Paris,

721
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:54,879
Speaker 1: learning and soaking up these things. I'm getting off track.

722
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: So I started buying antique jewelry and looking at him,

723
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 1: and I learned about and learned about it. I loved

724
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 1: it as well, I really loved it. So I was

725
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 1: combining my aunt, my antiquing, and my flea marketing. And

726
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 1: then I didn't know my aunt wasn't. I was so

727
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 1: passionate about all the other stuff that I moved to

728
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 1: LA to open up a little stand, a little stand

729
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: in a little antique center. And I had no idea

730
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: where LA was really. I'd only been there like once,

731
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 1: like maybe two months before that, and happy to get

732
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 1: out of it. I said, all the tourist stuff, you know,

733
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 1: Beverly Hills, all the movie start like. I took the

734
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 1: bus things, just like everyone else. Come to Beverly Hills.

735
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 1: I took that bus tour, you know, Star's house. I

736
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 1: went to Palm Springs, I went to Vague. I did

737
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 1: everything that people do as a tourist. And I said, okay,

738
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 1: I had enough. I don't need to come back. And

739
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: and just a few months later or someone that knew

740
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: me said, you know, they're building an antique center in

741
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. You would do well. And I didn't know

742
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: what to do. So I flew out, flew out. At

743
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 1: the time, I smoked cigarettes, and I smoked about fifty

744
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 1: thousand pass walking around the street. What should I do?

745
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: What should do? Should I move? Should what should I do?

746
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 1: I don't know what should I do? What should I do?

747
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 1: And there was building was being built on Beverly Boulevard

748
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:10,840
Speaker 1: and Robinson Boulevard. I don't know where it was. It

749
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: was gonna be an antique center. I called my mother,

750
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 1: I'm moving to la Oh no, don't go, so don't go.

751
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:20,840
Speaker 1: I'm going, mom, And then two months I was. I

752
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: had a steam of trunk, a little bag of jewelry

753
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,760
Speaker 1: and opened up a place called Antiquarius in the eighties

754
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 1: and Antiquarius Antiquarius perfect for you. It was called Antiquarius. Yeah,

755
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 1: do you remember the first piece of jewelry that you

756
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 1: ever made? I did. I think I did it from

757
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: a movie star. I think I did a big deal.

758
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 1: Well there were movie stars yet, because I had this

759
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:49,720
Speaker 1: aesthetic about old and I've been looking at every museum

760
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:51,839
Speaker 1: and all the jewlier collection. Books. Books were my best

761
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: teacher because even as a kid there were thirty five

762
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 1: bucks and people, oh, thirty five dollars for a book,

763
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 1: but to me that was like everything. I learned them

764
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 1: and soaked everything up. So people. So, yeah, there was

765
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 1: this young movie star I don't want to say the name.

766
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:14,879
Speaker 1: For some reason, amel Or, a female was kind of both.

767
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 1: They were both because the girl came and she had

768
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 1: an ancestral diamond from her grandma. She had a you know,

769
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 1: like from her grandma. But I think the guy came first.

770
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's a very famous couple, but but

771
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: they're not together anymore. Oh. But anyway, they didn't have

772
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:35,360
Speaker 1: that much money. They were very famous. They were young, buddy.

773
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 1: So they had this ancestral diamond and they saw my

774
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 1: stuff and they said, you have some beautiful I mean,

775
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:43,359
Speaker 1: and the ring the diamond was set in. The ring

776
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: was really wasn't attractive because grandma's ring or great grandma's

777
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: would have been a nineteen twenties ring and platinum, beautiful

778
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 1: little diamonds. Because the diamond they had was really pretty.

779
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,720
Speaker 1: It was a special like cushion cut diamond, very special,

780
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:59,320
Speaker 1: very pretty, and but it was I guess it was

781
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 1: past the lost the setting. The grandmother, I don't know

782
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 1: inherited the mother or the mother, and she had put

783
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 1: it into a big gold setting, but a giant one,

784
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,439
Speaker 1: like so big high where you can like pick your nose,

785
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 1: you know, one of those rings where people used in

786
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 1: the seventies put it up so high. Just look at

787
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 1: my diamond, you know. Um, So they said, could you

788
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: change it? Could you make a beautiful ring out of it,

789
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 1: and I did, and that was one of the first.

790
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 1: But it was very crude because I didn't have the

791
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 1: right workshops. I didn't have Is this going to right? Yeah,

792
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 1: I'm still just waiting for you to tell us who

793
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 1: it is. M give us a hint. I'm dry mouth.

794
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 1: I might she was. He was much more famous than

795
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:42,840
Speaker 1: she was, and now she's much more famous than he is.

796
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:51,439
Speaker 1: I love a game. But anyway, that was my first.

797
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 1: So I designed a ring and it was It was

798
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,800
Speaker 1: a beautiful ring. It was an amazing ring. And that

799
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 1: was my first, and it was crude. It wasn't where

800
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,839
Speaker 1: I am today. And that's how I started making rings.

801
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: I had no idea I was going to be a

802
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 1: design them. I had no idea, but I had all

803
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: these young people. Uh. One doesn't realize in the late eighties,

804
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 1: only nine days, Hollywood wasn't what it is today. It

805
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,360
Speaker 1: wasn't the glamorous place. They didn't have Netflix, they didn't

806
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 1: have e they didn't have Google, they didn't have didn't

807
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 1: have Internet, so they didn't have all these red carpets.

808
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 1: There's all these emerging young starlets ornees La, They're all

809
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 1: emerging or Merca Tomay, and she was nominated for a

810
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 1: boy She won't ask her for my boyfriend. I was

811
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: doing Julie for these people. It's that they came to

812
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: my count. They liked that stuff I had. It was interesting,

813
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 1: it wasn't typical. So I started making things based on

814
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 1: antique esthetics, with amethysts, sitch rings, funny earrings, long, not

815
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 1: heavy diamond I was making diamond chains so long, swaying,

816
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 1: things that were youthful. And that's how I started that list.

817
00:43:57,440 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 1: There was only one thing that was lacking. When we've

818
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 1: already discussed to oh who it was? Who it was?

819
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 1: Give me other names as I can. You know, so

820
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 1: I want to go back. You said that Hollywood has changed.

821
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:12,360
Speaker 1: Obviously it's very extravagant and glamor so, but do you

822
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:15,720
Speaker 1: remember when you had your first big red carpet moment,

823
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 1: when that was what it felt like. I had a

824
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 1: lot of them. Man, Well, I want to hear about

911
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:08,479

Speaker 1: your schmucklets. No. Do you understand or people don't understand

914
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 1: when when someone famous sits with me in the ring,

915
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:29,240
Speaker 1: they they're just like Garrett or Brian or you that's

916
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 1: their princess. They might be Leonardo, there might be someone

917
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:37,440
Speaker 1: you know at the high echelon the Hollywood you know,

918
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 1: maybe brid I mean, they could be anyone. I mean,

919
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:44,719
Speaker 1: all the movie stars. But they're just like Garrett or

920
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:46,799
Speaker 1: Brian when he was choosing ring. They want to get

921
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 1: the ring for their princess. Is love. I don't think

922
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 1: they come in with that. Well I'm so and Joe

923
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:54,359
Speaker 1: and I got two oscars, you know. Um, I think

924
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:58,719
Speaker 1: it's about love and and I think I deal with

925
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:02,399
Speaker 1: real people. They may have different careers that I'm making

926
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:06,320
Speaker 1: them so famous and and and amazing and wealthy and

927
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 1: all this stuff that people do, but I think I

928
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 1: see people at a very real moment, So I think

929
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:17,239
Speaker 1: it kind of keeps me real. I don't know how

930
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 1: to be the other person. I tried, by the way.

931
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I don't know how to do it. I

932
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:23,720
Speaker 1: don't know how to do it. We are at the Bachelor.

933
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:26,920
Speaker 1: But that's why I'm in the Bachelor. I'm able to Hey,

934
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:29,279
Speaker 1: I'm Neo Lane. I am Neil Lane. Nice to meet you.

935
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:32,400
Speaker 1: I love this. I love this real Nee Lane. I

936
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 1: will say, I do have one question. So you talked

937
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:37,879
Speaker 1: about when you first started in the jewelry business, more

938
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 1: so from the antique side of things, which I was

939
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 1: actually tearing up when you were talking about that, because

940
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:46,239
Speaker 1: so my father's passed away, but he one thing that

941
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:47,920
Speaker 1: we used to do when I was little was we

942
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:50,800
Speaker 1: would go in Tea shopping. Now granted it wasn't for jewelry.

943
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:54,239
Speaker 1: He loved his ducks and his decoys and shotguns, but um,

944
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:56,279
Speaker 1: but he had such a passion for it. And so

945
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 1: now even being with Garrett when we travel, that's my

946
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 1: number one thing that I love to do is wherever

947
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 1: we are, if there's an antique shop, I have to

948
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:06,759
Speaker 1: stop it. I just find such joy and you never

949
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:10,320
Speaker 1: know what you're going to come across. And I you

950
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:12,879
Speaker 1: weren't there, but I did come to your store last

951
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 1: year to get my ring cleaned, and I missed you.

952
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:18,400
Speaker 1: But I remember sitting there for probably I mean I

953
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:20,279
Speaker 1: could have sat there for hours. Scarrett had to drag

954
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 1: me out. I was there for probably thirty minutes, and

955
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:25,720
Speaker 1: I tried on a lot of the beautiful, gorgeous vintage

956
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:28,919
Speaker 1: rings that you had there. Do you go and still

957
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 1: scout for those and go to the antique shops or

958
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 1: do you have has my energy of it? Okay, nothing

959
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 1: goes into the store that I haven't chosen. I mean,

960
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 1: just to be honest with you, I Michael, Liz, Sally,

961
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 1: and Court and they're all helpful. I was asking, But

962
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:49,479
Speaker 1: nothing goes in the shop without my curating it. Okay,

963
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:52,920
Speaker 1: I buy it all. Well, it's amazing. I it's blinding.

964
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 1: If anyone can go into the store, I highly recommend

965
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:59,480
Speaker 1: it because the pieces that you have there are like

966
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:02,879
Speaker 1: dropping gorgeous. Becca, Why do you think I have two

967
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:05,920
Speaker 1: wedding bands? I could, well, you know, I might have

968
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 1: to follow your foot stuffs, could just say I'm decide

969
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 1: it was. It is amazing. I like I piggyback on

970
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 1: every single thing that Becca is saying. And it's first

971
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 1: of all, are you exhausted one now just because so

972
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 1: much much stuff. I love it. Well, listen, I say

973
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:30,520
Speaker 1: an ego thing. I love talking about myself. Well, a

974
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:33,320
Speaker 1: story to I'm calmer now. When I first came in,

975
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:35,960
Speaker 1: I was very nervous. When you say, people don't realize

976
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:38,480
Speaker 1: another thing about me. When I could talk, I'm happy,

977
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 1: But as soon as you put a camera on me,

978
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:45,800
Speaker 1: I freeze up. I I I change. And so sometimes

979
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:49,400
Speaker 1: my suit, the hair, that look, the voice protects me.

980
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:51,600
Speaker 1: So I can deal my thing. But I'm good with

981
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 1: that because I like that guy. I like that guy too. Well.

982
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:56,200
Speaker 1: We ask you if you're exhausted because you're just doing

983
00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:58,480
Speaker 1: so many things. I mean, like I said, we know

984
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 1: you for jewelry. You've men that you're an artist, but

985
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:03,480
Speaker 1: you have so many things that are expanding the nail

986
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:06,359
Speaker 1: line brand. That's more than beyond jewelry, and I want

987
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:08,920
Speaker 1: to give you a chance to talk about that. I mean,

988
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:12,719
Speaker 1: you have the tabletop line, which I have, which I

989
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 1: have to y, what color do you have? I have?

990
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:22,719
Speaker 1: It's the like the gray stone so perfectly. Yeah that's beautiful. Yeah, no,

991
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 1: it's it's tableware and it's it's absolutely perfect. From my

992
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:28,720
Speaker 1: apartment maybe we have the same aesthetic in our apartment

993
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:31,879
Speaker 1: back because it matches perfect. And Mike, by the way,

994
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:37,799
Speaker 1: I thank you. That's that's a big compliment. Thank you. Um.

995
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:40,560
Speaker 1: But no, I had no idea that you even did that.

996
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 1: And so I want you to give you a chance

997
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:43,719
Speaker 1: to talk about all the things that you're doing to

998
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:49,239
Speaker 1: expand your brand and your artistry. Well, I mean, yeah,

999
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 1: I don't know what to say. He's the jack of

1000
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:58,760
Speaker 1: careful and cautious. I've been collecting tabletops, I've been collecting silver.

1001
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:01,440
Speaker 1: I've been looked my whole life. Since I was sixteen.

1002
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:03,800
Speaker 1: I've been in castles. I've been in every museum in

1003
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 1: the world. I've seen it. I've eaten from it. You know,

1004
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:09,840
Speaker 1: when I was living in Paris, I invited different houses.

1005
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 1: They had silver flat where they had silver trays, and

1006
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:16,239
Speaker 1: I was impressed by their folks that they had hef

1007
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:18,399
Speaker 1: to them and when you went and you cut into

1008
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:20,840
Speaker 1: the food, Wow, it felt like something. You know. I

1009
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 1: think we had a little crappy, you know, folking knives

1010
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:25,759
Speaker 1: and when I was growing up, which I didn't know

1011
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 1: they were crappy. Excuse me, Mom and Dad, rest in peace, rip.

1012
00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:35,720
Speaker 1: But I learned so much from my world travels, and again,

1013
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:38,719
Speaker 1: like my aesthetic, I wanted to bring that. So I

1014
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:41,160
Speaker 1: feel I had a lot to offer, not from an

1015
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:44,959
Speaker 1: egotistical sense, but I really understood it. I created a house.

1016
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:47,120
Speaker 1: I built a house in the last number because we

1017
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:49,239
Speaker 1: should all come and have a party. Oh yes, I

1018
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 1: designed it everything, the door handles, the bronze door handles,

1019
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:55,319
Speaker 1: the floors. I threw the design in the flow it's

1020
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:59,480
Speaker 1: called tato. I threw the glass the metallic to make

1021
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:02,360
Speaker 1: the pattern, and I created mosaics in the niches in

1022
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:05,920
Speaker 1: the bathroom. I did wallpaper for the house. It sounds

1023
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:08,880
Speaker 1: like a masterpiece. Thank you. So I felt I wanted

1024
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 1: to do it first for myself to see if I

1025
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:13,000
Speaker 1: could then bring it to a bigger picture, because I'm

1026
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 1: always testing myself that I I don't want to make

1027
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:19,400
Speaker 1: the wrong step. And then I work with amazing people

1028
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:23,799
Speaker 1: on this line. And it was totally a joint thing

1029
00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 1: esthetic wise, because I didn't know, you know, I was

1030
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 1: able to bring the colors, the mugs that I love color.

1031
00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:33,040
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about mid century. I love the

1032
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:34,520
Speaker 1: little dots in it. There was something like the t

1033
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:37,480
Speaker 1: in the mill grain of your ring. Your ring has

1034
00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:40,680
Speaker 1: the same dots on the plate. Well, no, wonder you loveable.

1035
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:42,400
Speaker 1: You'll just let y'all know. Is that I am the

1036
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 1: inspiration behind the table love. Yeah, I do want to

1037
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:50,920
Speaker 1: say that. If you want to see where you can

1038
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:53,400
Speaker 1: get this from, it is mill Lane by for Tessa.

1039
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:56,279
Speaker 1: That's where it's just became recently available. I have it,

1040
00:55:56,400 --> 00:56:01,879
Speaker 1: Becca has it? My ring has it bed Bath than beyond? Yes? Oh,

1041
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:04,160
Speaker 1: I had no idea what you're gonna plug me. I

1042
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:05,720
Speaker 1: got up in the morning and I have a Russian

1043
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:08,200
Speaker 1: and I swam and I came here. I got lost

1044
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:11,040
Speaker 1: because I talk and I text and I drive. I

1045
00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:16,520
Speaker 1: don't don't tell anyone. Everyone listening and well, I don't text.

1046
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 1: Like Oprah said, don't text. I don't do that, but

1047
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:22,600
Speaker 1: I do sometimes we're so much you got here safely today,

1048
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:24,919
Speaker 1: Do we need to off follow you out? Knee Lane?

00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:34,640

1052
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 1: depth to you and for those of you who want

1053
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:39,879

1055
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:46,080
Speaker 1: not leaving the studies. You have a new book, and

1056
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:49,480

Speaker 1: that the way this you're telling us about weddings and

1058
00:56:51,719 --> 00:56:54,200
Speaker 1: rings and the stories behind them, that there's some stories

1059
00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:56,600
Speaker 1: that come along with this. Right, And your book is

1060
00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:58,799
Speaker 1: called style. You're wedding with Nil Lane. Do you want

1061
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:03,279
Speaker 1: to talk a little bit about that? Yeah, So when

1062
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 1: the idea came in to do a book, I think

1063
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:09,360
Speaker 1: wedding book would be the thing. I've been involved with

1064
00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:13,480
Speaker 1: so many weddings, from Kate Beckinsille's wedding when the Swan's

1065
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:16,200
Speaker 1: been going a muck at the at the at the

1066
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:20,320
Speaker 1: bel Air Hotel to Sha Shack O'Neil's wedding at the

1067
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:23,160
Speaker 1: Beverly Hills Hotel. What was the point was I've been

1068
00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:28,040
Speaker 1: I've been part of this weddings. Oh the so I

1069
00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:30,360
Speaker 1: thought I have a lot of knowledge. I'm not a

1070
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:33,160
Speaker 1: wedding planner, you know. I didn't want to take anything away.

1071
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:35,360
Speaker 1: I can't do all those way you get this. I

1072
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 1: cann't even bring an aesthetics like I do with my

1073
00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:40,760
Speaker 1: line of jewelry. The aesthetic of what I have. I mean,

1074
00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:44,800
Speaker 1: the funny thing is I went with with Jessica pass

1075
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:46,760
Speaker 1: of the style is to Marsha Cross's wedding. When you

1076
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:49,400
Speaker 1: know when Desperate Houses was really popular. I want with

1077
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:52,400
Speaker 1: Julie to do with her wedding and Jessica we had

1078
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,280
Speaker 1: to dye her shoes. We had to Marsha Cross his

1079
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:57,320
Speaker 1: shoes with the wrong color. So Jessica put them in

1080
00:57:57,360 --> 00:57:59,040
Speaker 1: tea bags and said, Neil helped me do this, help

1081
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:01,920
Speaker 1: me do that. I was steaming dresses. I've seen so

1082
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:05,720
Speaker 1: many things Hollywood weddings. I've been to glomerous weddings in Europe.

1083
00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:09,760
Speaker 1: I've just seen so much. So I thought, what could

1084
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:14,240
Speaker 1: I do? How could I add to this narrative. There's

1085
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:17,920
Speaker 1: so many great books, but it wasn't a book like

1086
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:19,840
Speaker 1: I thought I wanted to do. I wanted to give

1087
00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:23,920
Speaker 1: you a narrative that you do it, inspire you. You know,

1088
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:26,080
Speaker 1: I wasn't going to tell you do that that. I

1089
00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:28,200
Speaker 1: was going to say, open up your creativity, you can

1090
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:31,480
Speaker 1: do it. And then I because I designed so many rings,

1091
00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:34,400
Speaker 1: I thought I would use six rings as the vehicle,

1092
00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:38,920
Speaker 1: as the chapters in the elegant ring or the glomerous

1093
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,480
Speaker 1: ring or the hot and just to take you as

1094
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:43,800
Speaker 1: a circle. And one of the things in the book

1095
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:47,320
Speaker 1: I really wanted to share what the humanity of a

1096
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:51,480
Speaker 1: wedding that not to worry about not it's your day obviously,

1097
00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:55,560
Speaker 1: and it's your great day, you and your beloved. But

1098
00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 1: you know, guests are coming to see you. So I thought,

1099
00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:00,120
Speaker 1: like when they come, you know, we all tell them

1100
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:02,520
Speaker 1: to a place and get the little placard or your Neil,

1101
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:05,160
Speaker 1: you're at table sixty seven, you know. I thought, well,

1102
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:07,600
Speaker 1: so you got the table sixty seven. When you sit down,

1103
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:11,040
Speaker 1: maybe there's another note. Dear Neil, you're one of one

1104
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty seven people here. You're here because we

1105
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:15,720
Speaker 1: love you and we want to share it with you.

1106
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:18,400
Speaker 1: So I tried to bring things to the book that

1107
00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:22,640
Speaker 1: it's your day, obviously, and it's so you're the glamorous

1108
00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:25,080
Speaker 1: the bride. It's like a genetic thing that just blooms you.

1109
00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:29,520
Speaker 1: It's amazing, You're glad, You're amazing. But the people that

1110
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:32,720
Speaker 1: are coming to support you, they're important as well, So

1111
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:35,720
Speaker 1: like you know, they're hungry, so you know the food

1112
00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:38,800
Speaker 1: sometimes that weddings come out really cold, and it's okay

1113
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:42,040
Speaker 1: because it's family, but I just throw another eye on

1114
00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:44,440
Speaker 1: the people that come to support you. That's that was

1115
00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:46,080
Speaker 1: part of the thing that I wanted to bring the

1116
00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:48,959
Speaker 1: humanity to it. I went back to it. I wanted

1117
00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:53,560
Speaker 1: to bring back nostalgia. You know, not everything is throwaway.

1118
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:57,520
Speaker 1: So like with your ring, the shape of the passion,

1119
00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:00,480
Speaker 1: you can start doing for your wedding that your rations,

1120
01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:03,040
Speaker 1: your ring can tell you a story how to do

1121
01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:05,840
Speaker 1: the designs or the three stone ring that you have

1122
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:08,600
Speaker 1: beck or the gold it could be spawned. It's just

1123
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:12,160
Speaker 1: a story and to inspire you. And I give you

1124
01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 1: a lot of details and a lot of facts. But

1125
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:16,400
Speaker 1: then I say you'll do it on your own. Grow

1126
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:20,360
Speaker 1: you can do it. Okay, this is for you is married,

1127
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:23,640
Speaker 1: but damn it, I wish so. I do have your book,

1128
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:25,880
Speaker 1: and I got it a couple of weeks ago. It's

1129
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:28,320
Speaker 1: been sitting on my coffee table and I've pieced through it.

1130
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:31,840
Speaker 1: So Garrett and I aren't quite at the wedding planning yet,

1131
01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:34,480
Speaker 1: but I'm hanging on to it because it well, first

1132
01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 1: of all, it's put together beautifully, but just to get

1133
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:40,360
Speaker 1: the different vibes and piecing through the vibes that you

1134
01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:42,200
Speaker 1: can bring in and like you said, the nostalgia part,

1135
01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:45,120
Speaker 1: like looking at how you can bring in, you know,

1136
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:48,520
Speaker 1: potentially family members that have passed and make it very special,

1137
01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:51,000
Speaker 1: to make it your own. So I know, once I

1138
01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:53,080
Speaker 1: start planning my wedding, that is going to come and

1139
01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:56,280
Speaker 1: key and so if I know listeners are out there

1140
01:00:56,440 --> 01:00:58,520
Speaker 1: that are definitely in that wedding planning process. So you

1141
01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:01,480
Speaker 1: need to get this book. Style style you're wedding with

1142
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:05,600
Speaker 1: meal as beautiful. What kind of style are you, oh, Rich,

1143
01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:10,040
Speaker 1: that's a good question. Um, So I think for a wedding,

1144
01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:13,120
Speaker 1: First of all, I'm pretty unconventional, or I would say

1145
01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:17,000
Speaker 1: not unconventional, untraditional. So I when I envision a wedding,

1146
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:19,280
Speaker 1: the one thing that comes to mind is food. And

1147
01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:23,000
Speaker 1: I don't want the traditional plated, sit down meal. I

1148
01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:27,280
Speaker 1: want a ton of food trucks. Um. Garrett is very outdoorsy,

1149
01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:30,200
Speaker 1: so I know we have to have I feel like

1150
01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:33,320
Speaker 1: it's going to be a rustic theme, like a rustic

1151
01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:37,280
Speaker 1: elegant theme, but still cozy. Gosh, Neil, we could keep

1152
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:40,919
Speaker 1: talking to you forever and ever. There is so much

1153
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:43,680
Speaker 1: to you. I mean, we can. You've already invited us

1154
01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:48,440
Speaker 1: to your home, so that's a done deal. I will,

1155
01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:51,000
Speaker 1: I would love, I like. I like people coming over,

1156
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:54,240
Speaker 1: you know I do. What do you think about people staying?

1157
01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:58,560
Speaker 1: I might come over and stay, I don't actually going

1158
01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:05,000
Speaker 1: to stay, so I'm trying to move. I'm actually looking

1159
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:09,320
Speaker 1: to buy a hub. So maybe so one of the

1160
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:11,160
Speaker 1: things that we want to get to on the podcast

1161
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:14,240
Speaker 1: because while we have the expert here, the expert in

1162
01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:16,040
Speaker 1: all things when it comes to wedding, because you're right,

1163
01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:17,960
Speaker 1: you're more than just a jeweler, and if you've been

1164
01:02:18,040 --> 01:02:21,000
Speaker 1: listening at any point of this podcast, you're getting that too.

1165
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:23,479
Speaker 1: We want to play a game with you about whether

1166
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:26,960
Speaker 1: you approve or disapprove. And this is coming straight from

1167
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:29,080
Speaker 1: the man Neil lay right. So we're going to read

1168
01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:31,600
Speaker 1: to you a question or a statement, and you're going

1169
01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:33,640
Speaker 1: to tell us whether you approve it or disapprove it,

1170
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:37,360
Speaker 1: and what he says goes people basically, all right, So

1171
01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:41,840
Speaker 1: first one up, proposing without getting the parents blessing? Do

1172
01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:48,120
Speaker 1: you approve or disapprove? Absolutely approve, so you should get

1173
01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:53,040
Speaker 1: the you don't need it, you do, no, No, I think,

1174
01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:57,040
Speaker 1: I think. I think if you love each other, like

1175
01:02:57,240 --> 01:03:00,520
Speaker 1: really love each other and your mom, that don't like

1176
01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:02,840
Speaker 1: him or he don't like her, or blah blah blah.

1177
01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:06,800
Speaker 1: You got to live with this person. Your love is

1178
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:12,160
Speaker 1: about each other, and parents don't always approve. But if

1179
01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:14,160
Speaker 1: you believe in it, and you believe in that love,

1180
01:03:15,080 --> 01:03:18,280
Speaker 1: I would take that road. Don't have Brian's bum Listen

1181
01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:20,919
Speaker 1: to that one. Well, I actually agree with you really quickly,

1182
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:23,640
Speaker 1: just because my dad did not give his blessing on

1183
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:25,800
Speaker 1: the show to the three guys that came home to

1184
01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:27,960
Speaker 1: meet them to meet him? Did they all free? Ask?

1185
01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:32,120
Speaker 1: Peter didn't, but he'd like explained his reasoning behind it,

1186
01:03:32,360 --> 01:03:35,000
Speaker 1: but he did not give it to Brian and I

1187
01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:37,640
Speaker 1: still and I knew that Brian was upfront with me

1188
01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:40,280
Speaker 1: about that, but I knew my dad wasn't gonna say yes.

1189
01:03:40,360 --> 01:03:42,560
Speaker 1: I still said yes because I knew what Brian and

1190
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:45,640
Speaker 1: I had, and then later it was very important for

1191
01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:49,320
Speaker 1: me to still have that approval. So once we all

1192
01:03:49,560 --> 01:03:52,040
Speaker 1: got to know each other before we actually got married,

1193
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:56,000
Speaker 1: he asked agam, and that was really yes, And that's

1194
01:03:56,040 --> 01:03:57,840
Speaker 1: what I wanted to say. I didn't want to take

1195
01:03:57,880 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 1: your parents out of the expa. Oh, you don't make

1196
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:03,120
Speaker 1: a difference. They make a world of difference. But they

1197
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:09,040
Speaker 1: don't know or significant other. You've been intimate in every way.

1198
01:04:10,120 --> 01:04:12,720
Speaker 1: Hanging with him, you see something that your mom may

1199
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:15,720
Speaker 1: not see. She may see a superficial guy. You see

1200
01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:18,520
Speaker 1: underneath that, he's the most sweetest guy in the world.

1201
01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:20,840
Speaker 1: And he acts sometimes he comes across that because he's

1202
01:04:20,840 --> 01:04:24,200
Speaker 1: so insecure, and you may see that, but your mom doesn't.

1203
01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:25,960
Speaker 1: And weren't gonna spend your mom. You know, he's really

1204
01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:28,280
Speaker 1: sweet's insecut I don't see that, Becca, you know what

1205
01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:32,320
Speaker 1: I mean? You're right, but I do like what what

1206
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:38,040
Speaker 1: you said, Rachel. Afterwards, Yeah, afterwards you go back, Dad,

1207
01:04:38,080 --> 01:04:40,080
Speaker 1: What do you think now? Yeah? Look, look what a

1208
01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:42,240
Speaker 1: stand up guy he is. Look how wonderfully is I

1209
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:50,320
Speaker 1: was right? That's really what I said. All right? Next

1210
01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:58,360
Speaker 1: question approver disapprove proposing without a ring? Controversial? It's hard

1211
01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:01,000
Speaker 1: he's going by the ring. I called you Lane, Did

1212
01:05:01,080 --> 01:05:06,880
Speaker 1: you hear me? Let's pay back from me? Rachel, Rachel, Rachel,

1213
01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:15,480
Speaker 1: this is really what I've been waiting for, because you

1214
01:05:15,560 --> 01:05:19,840
Speaker 1: don't understand. I can't remember anything. It cis goes out

1215
01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:22,000
Speaker 1: of my head. I get so nervous. Do you remember

1216
01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:25,040
Speaker 1: the question? Beck? I just ask you, yes, yes, Wait,

1217
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:28,360
Speaker 1: I do, but I have to grab it. I don't

1218
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:34,720
Speaker 1: remember it after that, quickly proposing without a ring, Well

1219
01:05:34,760 --> 01:05:36,760
Speaker 1: it's complicated, you would say, Well, of course Neil would

1220
01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:38,360
Speaker 1: say no because he wants to sell a ring. But

1221
01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:41,040
Speaker 1: that's not the truth at all. Why is a reason

1222
01:05:41,160 --> 01:05:43,440
Speaker 1: he's not proposing with a ring? Does he not have

1223
01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:49,680
Speaker 1: the financials? Um? Is he just drunk and he fell

1224
01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:52,880
Speaker 1: on his heel? You know, I get married, you know? Uh,

1225
01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:55,880
Speaker 1: what's the reason? I think if you're going to propose,

1226
01:05:55,960 --> 01:06:00,400
Speaker 1: you need to propose with something not the promissory proposal different.

1227
01:06:01,320 --> 01:06:06,880
Speaker 1: I have a great story. Um. Um, she's an olympiad

1228
01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:11,680
Speaker 1: um and he proposed with a twig on a hike

1229
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:15,360
Speaker 1: in they're in Colorado. Um, yeah, I see. I can't

1230
01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:20,800
Speaker 1: forget her name. No, she she she was a because

1231
01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:22,960
Speaker 1: she was a snowboarder. But she doesn't have legs. She

1232
01:06:23,080 --> 01:06:25,600
Speaker 1: lost her legs in a in a disease and she

1233
01:06:26,040 --> 01:06:29,880
Speaker 1: won Amy Amy, Oh, I know her Amy, Yeah, I know,

1234
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:32,200
Speaker 1: I know exactly who you're talking about. Just watched a

1235
01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:36,680
Speaker 1: video so amazing and he proposed. I can't I can't

1236
01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:38,840
Speaker 1: remember his name. Sweet guy. And they were walking on

1237
01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:43,080
Speaker 1: a hike and want and he got a twig. You

1238
01:06:43,200 --> 01:06:47,800
Speaker 1: can't just propose with nothing. You can't. Proposal means something more.

1239
01:06:48,120 --> 01:06:50,280
Speaker 1: He means you need to take a physical action other

1240
01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:54,320
Speaker 1: than just the words. That's what I feel. Doesn't have

1241
01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:56,840
Speaker 1: to be a diamond, it could be anything. A string,

1242
01:06:57,000 --> 01:06:58,680
Speaker 1: you know, honey, I don't have the money. But I

1243
01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:03,640
Speaker 1: made the string. Twist you tie? Sorry, a twist tie? Yeah? Oh,

1244
01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:06,560
Speaker 1: I did my first film. I forgot about that. What

1245
01:07:08,040 --> 01:07:09,960
Speaker 1: I did my first film with us? Oh my gosh,

1246
01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:16,600
Speaker 1: because I said, fifty shades of gray? What? What's the

1247
01:07:16,680 --> 01:07:20,960
Speaker 1: girl's film with her? I did my first film with uh?

1248
01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:25,520
Speaker 1: I aren't even holding out this information. He said fifty

1249
01:07:25,560 --> 01:07:28,960
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, fifty cent I would do one

1250
01:07:28,960 --> 01:07:36,080
Speaker 1: with him too? Why not? You know? But I'm sorry,

1251
01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:37,600
Speaker 1: I didn't know I brought that up. Okay, I'll ask

1252
01:07:37,640 --> 01:07:42,480
Speaker 1: you another question. Oh real, hit in here asking for

1253
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:45,000
Speaker 1: a new ring. If you don't like the design that

1254
01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:50,080
Speaker 1: your partner picked out, do you approve or disapprove of that? Complicated? Complicated?

1255
01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:53,480
Speaker 1: That's not it's because when I first came to Hollywood.

1256
01:07:53,760 --> 01:08:01,360
Speaker 1: I'm going to answer you. Oh wait, um um m hmm, okay,

1257
01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:05,600
Speaker 1: And what are they say those old days what do

1258
01:08:05,640 --> 01:08:08,160
Speaker 1: they call him? He say about the past. Back in

1259
01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:10,680
Speaker 1: the day, when I first come to Hollywood, people used

1260
01:08:10,720 --> 01:08:14,080
Speaker 1: to come with me. The women got oh, Neil, Oh,

1261
01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:18,280
Speaker 1: I hate my ring. I love John. I hate my ring.

1262
01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:20,760
Speaker 1: You think we could redesign it. I don't know. Oh,

1263
01:08:20,840 --> 01:08:23,479
Speaker 1: I couldn't do that. John would be so hurt. So

1264
01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:26,719
Speaker 1: back in the day, women got rings that I didn't

1265
01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:30,080
Speaker 1: like because John didn't know anything. John said to his dad,

1266
01:08:30,160 --> 01:08:33,160
Speaker 1: I love Mary, I love Becca, I love Rachel. What

1267
01:08:33,320 --> 01:08:36,560
Speaker 1: do you do, Well, go go to Uncle Tom and

1268
01:08:37,040 --> 01:08:40,439
Speaker 1: get a ring and or diamond. Get a diamond. Okay,

1269
01:08:40,479 --> 01:08:42,040
Speaker 1: I went to Uncle Tom. I got a diamond. And

1270
01:08:42,160 --> 01:08:44,600
Speaker 1: now go to Uncle Mo. You know he'll get a

1271
01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:47,800
Speaker 1: setting for you. Go to Uncle Mo. Uncle Tom seld

1272
01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:49,280
Speaker 1: him a diamond he couldn't get rid of, you know,

1273
01:08:49,400 --> 01:08:52,639
Speaker 1: whatever shape that he didn't He didn't know about Becker

1274
01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:55,599
Speaker 1: or Rachel, what she liked. And the guy makes a ring.

1275
01:08:56,800 --> 01:09:01,400
Speaker 1: There's no input from the girl. And those were those days.

1276
01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:05,120
Speaker 1: Those were back in those days, back in the day.

1277
01:09:05,479 --> 01:09:11,120
Speaker 1: But today it's different. And so I think a guy

1278
01:09:11,920 --> 01:09:16,439
Speaker 1: really needs to respect and understand the girl he's proposing to.

1279
01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:22,160
Speaker 1: Whoever he's proposing to their style, their their level of

1280
01:09:22,680 --> 01:09:25,479
Speaker 1: you know, this not macho thing, but this mail. And

1281
01:09:25,479 --> 01:09:27,400
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it's a mail thing, but this thing

1282
01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:29,479
Speaker 1: where you're just going to give someone something because you

1283
01:09:29,600 --> 01:09:33,360
Speaker 1: love it, she has to wear it. Today things are

1284
01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:36,160
Speaker 1: about style and fashion. Look throughout Glamor Shield girls. Look,

1285
01:09:36,720 --> 01:09:39,400
Speaker 1: you have a style and much you know, you have

1286
01:09:39,479 --> 01:09:41,439
Speaker 1: a style and people have style to it. And style

1287
01:09:41,600 --> 01:09:48,840
Speaker 1: is very Instagram. It's on pinch strip and Pinterest. You know.

1288
01:09:48,920 --> 01:09:52,639
Speaker 1: I'm like, I can't even follow that. But that's why

1289
01:09:52,640 --> 01:09:54,400
Speaker 1: I did the book, because everyone would come and get

1290
01:09:54,439 --> 01:09:58,240
Speaker 1: the store with all these pinsterest top thing and yellow

1291
01:09:58,280 --> 01:10:00,720
Speaker 1: stick hums and schmick ums and pages fall out. I thought,

1292
01:10:00,760 --> 01:10:04,479
Speaker 1: here's a book, here's a book. Anyway, I don't think

1293
01:10:04,760 --> 01:10:06,840
Speaker 1: I don't think you should, okay, I think the guy

1294
01:10:06,880 --> 01:10:10,240
Speaker 1: should be more more careful. Is not the opportunities today,

1295
01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:12,920
Speaker 1: there's so much you should ask the girl, ask a

1296
01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:16,320
Speaker 1: mom what's her style? So okay, which leads me into

1297
01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:19,559
Speaker 1: the next question. Posing with a ring that was bought

1298
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:24,960
Speaker 1: for an X. Oh man, that's tough because it's the

1299
01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:29,200
Speaker 1: energy unless unless the girl you're proposing to really likes

1300
01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:32,280
Speaker 1: the X and likes the ring. But man, that that

1301
01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:36,280
Speaker 1: would be that's kind of boo boo juju. I would

1302
01:10:36,360 --> 01:10:39,679
Speaker 1: agree that. You mean, like, can you imagine a situation

1303
01:10:39,800 --> 01:10:42,639
Speaker 1: where you propose to someone and it's your grandmother's ring,

1304
01:10:42,920 --> 01:10:44,599
Speaker 1: and then it doesn't work out, but that's the ring

1305
01:10:44,680 --> 01:10:47,360
Speaker 1: you've always wanted to give him. That's tough, that makes sense.

1306
01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:49,800
Speaker 1: I think if it's a ring that you got designed,

1307
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:53,280
Speaker 1: I would say, if you can keep the diamond, keep

1308
01:10:53,280 --> 01:10:55,040
Speaker 1: the diamond, I would put it in a whole new setting.

1309
01:10:55,320 --> 01:10:57,439
Speaker 1: If that's I think grandma's ring. I think it's okay

1310
01:10:57,479 --> 01:10:59,679
Speaker 1: to do it twice. Yeah, you know, sweet it didn't

1311
01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:01,599
Speaker 1: work out out, but I always want to. I took

1312
01:11:01,640 --> 01:11:03,280
Speaker 1: it back there because it means so much of his family,

1313
01:11:03,479 --> 01:11:04,559
Speaker 1: and now I want to give it to you because

1314
01:11:04,600 --> 01:11:06,960
Speaker 1: you really are the sweetheart. But a ring designed for

1315
01:11:07,200 --> 01:11:11,519
Speaker 1: you know, rachel or anyone else, and now you're proposing

1316
01:11:11,560 --> 01:11:14,400
Speaker 1: to someone else, It's like, no, no, you're lazy. It's

1317
01:11:14,400 --> 01:11:16,360
Speaker 1: a deal breaker for me. I know exactly who you

1318
01:11:16,439 --> 01:11:18,000
Speaker 1: are by the fact that you did that to me well,

1319
01:11:18,040 --> 01:11:20,719
Speaker 1: and I don't. I can't imagine any girl being wanting

1320
01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:23,479
Speaker 1: that ring and being okay with oh yeah, you just

1321
01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:26,320
Speaker 1: gave it to Abby two years ago. But I don't

1322
01:11:26,360 --> 01:11:28,680
Speaker 1: think it's consider it. No, No, and you know, and

1323
01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:31,280
Speaker 1: I think today there's there's so many there's so many

1324
01:11:31,520 --> 01:11:33,760
Speaker 1: ways a girl tells you what they want that you

1325
01:11:33,800 --> 01:11:36,439
Speaker 1: shouldn't do that right through pitt and strip this is one.

1326
01:11:36,479 --> 01:11:41,040
Speaker 1: I'm curious. I don't know. Poorno Schmoorno. I don't know.

1327
01:11:42,120 --> 01:11:44,280
Speaker 1: I can't say the whole I don't know, Neil, I

1328
01:11:44,320 --> 01:11:47,200
Speaker 1: can't either. Don't worry. I need to ask you this question.

1329
01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:54,840
Speaker 1: What very curious on this too. What do you think

1330
01:11:54,840 --> 01:11:57,200
Speaker 1: about proposing in a crowded place? Do you approve it

1331
01:11:57,760 --> 01:12:02,280
Speaker 1: or do you disapproven? Event? Was like at a sporting

1332
01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:03,920
Speaker 1: event or I was I was coming out of a

1333
01:12:04,040 --> 01:12:07,439
Speaker 1: Broadway play Hamilton, and someone got down on the sidewalk

1334
01:12:07,479 --> 01:12:11,680
Speaker 1: and propose right there right then. I like it. You're

1335
01:12:11,680 --> 01:12:15,320
Speaker 1: a hope romantic. I like it because I've had clients

1336
01:12:15,439 --> 01:12:17,799
Speaker 1: and friends that have done it in the middle of Broadway.

1337
01:12:17,960 --> 01:12:21,760
Speaker 1: So that's a politically correct answer. No, No, I like No,

1338
01:12:21,880 --> 01:12:25,439
Speaker 1: it's not politically great. I like it. I like I

1339
01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:28,400
Speaker 1: like that. There are sometimes I think that I wouldn't

1340
01:12:28,560 --> 01:12:31,600
Speaker 1: like it. Can I tell when I won't like it?

1341
01:12:31,960 --> 01:12:33,400
Speaker 1: I don't think you should do it in front of

1342
01:12:33,439 --> 01:12:36,519
Speaker 1: a family at the holidays. Oh, I agree. My dad

1343
01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:39,639
Speaker 1: actually proposed to my mom I think it was Christmas,

1344
01:12:39,760 --> 01:12:42,040
Speaker 1: and she said no, She's like, you have to do

1345
01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:44,000
Speaker 1: it when we're alone in the future. Yeah, I don't

1346
01:12:44,040 --> 01:12:46,719
Speaker 1: think you should do that at the holidays, because Christmas

1347
01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:49,679
Speaker 1: coming up big time for a proposal. Do not propose

1348
01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:53,559
Speaker 1: in front of Grandma, Betty, aunt Milk, Tilda Schmilder, cousin,

1349
01:12:53,680 --> 01:12:56,120
Speaker 1: did Willie a little, a little They're all gonna have

1350
01:12:56,240 --> 01:13:00,400
Speaker 1: the opinions. Yeah, they're gonna blow the moment. Take her ups,

1351
01:13:00,479 --> 01:13:02,840
Speaker 1: Take it to room. Excuse us, folks, we're going away

1352
01:13:02,840 --> 01:13:05,400

1353
01:13:05,479 --> 01:13:07,519
Speaker 1: Whatever is Honey, I love you? Will you marry me?

1354
01:13:07,600 --> 01:13:08,800
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Here's the ring, you know.

1355
01:13:09,280 --> 01:13:12,560
Speaker 1: Come out as an engaged couple and let them applaud you,

1356
01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:15,280
Speaker 1: because otherwise they're gonna give you all the yeah, stupid opinion.

1357
01:13:16,040 --> 01:13:20,320
Speaker 1: I nilo the fact that this is it's been great.

1358
01:13:20,479 --> 01:13:23,320
Speaker 1: There isn't There's not an adjective that I could use

1359
01:13:23,680 --> 01:13:26,680
Speaker 1: that could truly define the experience that Becca and I

1360
01:13:27,120 --> 01:13:30,240
Speaker 1: and our listeners have had today. I do have one

1361
01:13:30,320 --> 01:13:32,120
Speaker 1: last question. I don't even know if I can ask this,

1362
01:13:32,240 --> 01:13:35,040
Speaker 1: but I know viewers want to know, and I kind

1363
01:13:35,080 --> 01:13:39,840
Speaker 1: of do too. Okay, what happens to the rings for

1364
01:13:39,960 --> 01:13:43,040
Speaker 1: the bachelor couples that don't work out? Oh? I have

1365
01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:46,040
Speaker 1: asked this many times. It does go to Bachelor Heaven.

1366
01:13:46,479 --> 01:13:49,519
Speaker 1: It really does. People don't think people people think I

1367
01:13:49,640 --> 01:13:53,360
Speaker 1: make it up, But I have an arrangement with NASA,

1368
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:57,880
Speaker 1: with NASA, with you know, Paulo seven. The rings go

1369
01:13:58,479 --> 01:14:02,200
Speaker 1: into the spacecraft and they stay there for the eternal

1370
01:14:02,880 --> 01:14:08,000
Speaker 1: eternal nocturnal or love energy, and it's coming back in

1371
01:14:08,080 --> 01:14:11,200
Speaker 1: the next century, in the millennium of seventy two seventy

1372
01:14:11,439 --> 01:14:15,280
Speaker 1: Can wait? Can I make a suggestion, because truly, if

1373
01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:17,840
Speaker 1: they go to Bachelor Heaven, I think that it would

1374
01:14:17,840 --> 01:14:20,360
Speaker 1: be great if you could decorate the store and then

1375
01:14:20,439 --> 01:14:24,160
Speaker 1: you could have the rings of those who didn't work

1376
01:14:24,240 --> 01:14:30,240
Speaker 1: out with little tombstones, a little rip tombstones. I think

1377
01:14:31,240 --> 01:14:33,479
Speaker 1: you should do. Honestly, though, you should do something with

1378
01:14:33,600 --> 01:14:36,160
Speaker 1: these rings, because honestly, so many people it's a question

1379
01:14:36,240 --> 01:14:38,360
Speaker 1: I get asked, and I still have my ring, Becca,

1380
01:14:38,439 --> 01:14:40,600
Speaker 1: you still have yours, But people truly want to know

1381
01:14:40,760 --> 01:14:43,920
Speaker 1: what happens with the rings when you with You don't

1382
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:47,599
Speaker 1: understand that. I don't know. I really don't know when

1383
01:14:47,840 --> 01:14:52,400
Speaker 1: when when I do my thing, which is amazing. With

1384
01:14:52,479 --> 01:14:56,320
Speaker 1: these guys, I say bye bye, They never say hello

1385
01:14:56,400 --> 01:15:00,880
Speaker 1: again to me unless they're on your finger. Owen ask

1386
01:15:00,920 --> 01:15:03,240
Speaker 1: another question real quick. Sorry, I know we're up against

1387
01:15:03,280 --> 01:15:08,679
Speaker 1: the clock, but this is the approved disapproved when somebody

1388
01:15:08,840 --> 01:15:11,640
Speaker 1: when a couple doesn't work out and they're left with

1389
01:15:11,760 --> 01:15:18,280
Speaker 1: this ring, do you think that the fiance the girl?

1390
01:15:18,560 --> 01:15:20,280
Speaker 1: Do you think the woman should give the ring back

1391
01:15:20,720 --> 01:15:22,400
Speaker 1: or do you think that she's allowed to keep it?

1392
01:15:22,640 --> 01:15:24,439
Speaker 1: It depends on how much work she's had to do

1393
01:15:24,600 --> 01:15:28,400
Speaker 1: to get that ring. You know it was easy, Breezy,

1394
01:15:28,439 --> 01:15:30,040
Speaker 1: give back the ring. You don't want that energy, but

1395
01:15:30,200 --> 01:15:33,680
Speaker 1: you got to work your uh you know you get

1396
01:15:33,760 --> 01:15:35,880
Speaker 1: that ring? Girl? You deserve it. It's right like I

1397
01:15:35,920 --> 01:15:39,840
Speaker 1: think the Caitlin and Seawan's that situation. She should keep

1398
01:15:39,880 --> 01:15:42,160
Speaker 1: the ring she put in three years. I only had

1399
01:15:42,200 --> 01:15:44,960
Speaker 1: mine from two months. Maybe I didn't want it. It

1400
01:15:45,080 --> 01:15:47,000
Speaker 1: was beautiful. I did not want to keep that one.

1401
01:15:47,040 --> 01:15:49,040
Speaker 1: Oh yours was different. No, no, no, no, I totally

1402
01:15:49,120 --> 01:15:53,400
Speaker 1: get it. Can I ask you a question? Please? Do um,

1403
01:15:54,960 --> 01:15:58,160
Speaker 1: you look amazingly happy, and Garrett looked happy. You know,

1404
01:15:58,560 --> 01:16:03,960
Speaker 1: we all know we never know the future, but are

1405
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:05,640
Speaker 1: you getting an invent to the wedding? Is that what

1406
01:16:05,760 --> 01:16:12,360
Speaker 1: you want to know? With Ari and Lauren, I can

1407
01:16:12,400 --> 01:16:14,880
Speaker 1: only imagine it was really painful, but it seemed from

1408
01:16:14,920 --> 01:16:18,519
Speaker 1: my perspective, I don't know you. I didn't know you.

1409
01:16:19,200 --> 01:16:22,280
Speaker 1: You have an incredible personality or a deep heart or

1410
01:16:22,360 --> 01:16:24,479
Speaker 1: a passion that you were able to turn around something

1411
01:16:24,520 --> 01:16:27,360
Speaker 1: which was you know, people could say, oh, look how

1412
01:16:27,640 --> 01:16:30,320
Speaker 1: terrible that was for her to turn around something to

1413
01:16:30,400 --> 01:16:32,680
Speaker 1: a glorious, beautiful girl sit in front of me with

1414
01:16:32,720 --> 01:16:35,160
Speaker 1: a ring and a big smiling Your things right? And

1415
01:16:35,360 --> 01:16:37,720
Speaker 1: I clawed you on that. How did you do that?

1416
01:16:38,240 --> 01:16:41,160
Speaker 1: I will say? Well, so when I saw him at

1417
01:16:41,200 --> 01:16:43,040
Speaker 1: the finale, I said this, and I'll say it again.

1418
01:16:43,160 --> 01:16:46,800
Speaker 1: I never wanted anyone to feel trapped in a relationship,

1419
01:16:46,880 --> 01:16:48,960
Speaker 1: and if if that was his out, that's what he

1420
01:16:49,040 --> 01:16:51,439
Speaker 1: had to do. I can't fault him for that, and

1421
01:16:52,120 --> 01:16:54,160
Speaker 1: he had to follow his heart. And it just led

1422
01:16:54,360 --> 01:16:58,519
Speaker 1: me to accept the fact that everyone goes through breakups,

1423
01:16:58,560 --> 01:17:01,599
Speaker 1: everyone deals with it differently, And I still didn't want

1424
01:17:01,680 --> 01:17:05,680
Speaker 1: to be scared of finding somebody after that, and so, um,

1425
01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:07,840
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously it all worked out now because we're

1426
01:17:08,200 --> 01:17:10,759
Speaker 1: I mean, I haven't talked to them, so I'm assuming

1427
01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:13,000
Speaker 1: from what I've seen, they're very very happy. I love

1428
01:17:13,080 --> 01:17:15,400
Speaker 1: Garrett with all my heart, and I think it happened

1429
01:17:15,439 --> 01:17:17,320
Speaker 1: in a way that should have for me to meet him,

1430
01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:18,760
Speaker 1: and so I just have to place it in the

1431
01:17:18,840 --> 01:17:20,680
Speaker 1: hands of God and say he has my back and

1432
01:17:20,800 --> 01:17:23,439
Speaker 1: he'll set me on the right path. And so, UM,

1433
01:17:23,760 --> 01:17:25,640
Speaker 1: just hope that all I could have asked for is

1434
01:17:25,680 --> 01:17:27,599
Speaker 1: that everyone came out happy in the end, because then

1435
01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:30,479
Speaker 1: it would have been a real I would have sucked about.

1436
01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:33,240
Speaker 1: But it did. As a person who's who has talked

1437
01:17:33,280 --> 01:17:37,120
Speaker 1: to them very recently, I might add, Um, and this

1438
01:17:37,360 --> 01:17:39,920
Speaker 1: is no shade. I'm telling you, everything truly happens for

1439
01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:44,400
Speaker 1: a reason. They are good for each other, yes, you

1440
01:17:44,479 --> 01:17:47,080
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Yes, like that that they are

1441
01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:50,320
Speaker 1: good and you are so much better off in your

1442
01:17:50,400 --> 01:17:52,920
Speaker 1: situation and you were good for you and Garrett are

1443
01:17:52,960 --> 01:17:57,120
Speaker 1: good for each other like a hundred percent. Like Nils said,

1444
01:17:57,280 --> 01:18:00,200
Speaker 1: hate you went through that pain, but my god, you

1445
01:18:00,240 --> 01:18:03,960
Speaker 1: are this is this is I wouldn't I wouldn't, I

1446
01:18:04,040 --> 01:18:06,479
Speaker 1: wouldn't normally ask that someone because I wouldn't want to

1447
01:18:06,479 --> 01:18:09,760
Speaker 1: embarrass someone. But I see a ravishing girl in front

1448
01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:12,600
Speaker 1: of me, happy with a ring. Another ravish into my

1449
01:18:12,720 --> 01:18:17,960
Speaker 1: left as well. Her name is Rachel. She think I

1450
01:18:18,040 --> 01:18:21,080
Speaker 1: don't know her name, but I do. I'm just a

1451
01:18:21,120 --> 01:18:24,479
Speaker 1: little wacky. Um. I'm proud of you girls. I'm proud

1452
01:18:24,520 --> 01:18:27,640
Speaker 1: of the girls, what you've done. I hear about you

1453
01:18:27,880 --> 01:18:30,200
Speaker 1: and how you do good and all the stuff you

1454
01:18:30,280 --> 01:18:34,000
Speaker 1: do with a fashion and promotion stuff. I think it's amazing. Um.

1455
01:18:34,360 --> 01:18:37,880
Speaker 1: I'm thrilled to be part of it. I do get

1456
01:18:37,880 --> 01:18:39,439
Speaker 1: a little goose pimples. I think that I am part

1457
01:18:39,479 --> 01:18:44,400
Speaker 1: of something like that. Definitely. I had the best time here.

1458
01:18:45,080 --> 01:18:47,400
Speaker 1: Now you can ask me more questions. But we could

1459
01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:50,080
Speaker 1: go on enough. If we had an unlimited time, believe me,

1460
01:18:50,280 --> 01:18:51,840
Speaker 1: we would. But that just means that you have to

1461
01:18:51,880 --> 01:18:54,240
Speaker 1: come back. You have to come back to Bachelor Happy

1462
01:18:54,320 --> 01:18:56,760
Speaker 1: Hour and see us. I think we need to take

1463
01:18:56,800 --> 01:18:59,519
Speaker 1: Bachelor Happy Hour to Neil's house. They would do that,

1464
01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:03,200
Speaker 1: so done, and after hours we'll put it up on it.

1465
01:19:03,400 --> 01:19:06,600
Speaker 1: We'll put it up on pinstrip. Okay, you guys, thank you.

1466
01:19:08,520 --> 01:19:11,720
Speaker 1: I'm sure pin strip. I'm a I can't get anything right.

1467
01:19:11,720 --> 01:19:14,000
Speaker 1: I remember Rachel's name, my own in my name and Neil,
