0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:32.360
<v Speaker 1>hope you are safe and sound. As you probably noticed,

0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:36.760
<v Speaker 1>there was no episode this Wednesday because there was no

0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:42.240
<v Speaker 1>Bachelor episode, which quite honestly gave me a more pleasant

0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Monday night because these three hour best ofs are it

0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:50.639
<v Speaker 1>makes it a worst of Monday night. But I missed hanging,

0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:54.440
<v Speaker 1>I missed talking about it on Tuesdays, and um, I'm

0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:56.840
<v Speaker 1>so happy that we still have podcasts to give to you.

0:00:57.040 --> 0:01:00.920
<v Speaker 1>So this Friday, basically every Friday until my book comes out,

0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:04.120
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna be releasing episodes of Feeling Thorny, which I'm

0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:07.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna get to in a second. Before we do that,

0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:12.120
<v Speaker 1>I had a few items of excitement because we're not

0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:14.480
<v Speaker 1>doing a new podcast this week, I am going to

0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:17.600
<v Speaker 1>wait to do the giveaways. I'm gonna do three giveaways

0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:22.000
<v Speaker 1>we record on September one. So, um, I just want

0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:25.040
<v Speaker 1>to thank you all. You've all risen to the challenge.

0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:27.160
<v Speaker 1>I can't tell you how much it means to me

0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:31.600
<v Speaker 1>to get your emails with your book receipts and your

0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:35.400
<v Speaker 1>incredibly sweet and supportive words. I mean, look, it's hard enough.

0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:37.800
<v Speaker 1>It's hard to get people to buy a book, Like

0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:40.360
<v Speaker 1>it's much easier to tell somebody to watch your show

0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:43.240
<v Speaker 1>on Netflix or something like that. But in a pandemic,

0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:46.240
<v Speaker 1>to spend your hard earned money, and you know what,

0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:48.360
<v Speaker 1>book is a commitment. You got to sit down and

0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:51.560
<v Speaker 1>read the book. But you know, so, I it really

0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:53.360
<v Speaker 1>is not lost on me that you guys have been

0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:55.960
<v Speaker 1>so sweet and um and look, I hope we get

0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:58.280
<v Speaker 1>on that bestseller list. And I'm forcing my brother to

0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:01.640
<v Speaker 1>throw a live show in JJ's yard where I hope

0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:04.720
<v Speaker 1>none of you get limes disease, you know, once this

0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:07.360
<v Speaker 1>pandemic is over. That being said, so I have a

0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:11.040
<v Speaker 1>few things I've just partnered with this. I'm excited about this.

0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:13.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, I keep talking about those cute totes that

0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:15.679
<v Speaker 1>I designed that I've been the little miss little Compton totes.

0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:18.200
<v Speaker 1>We've done done some giveaways and don't tell anybody, but

0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:20.920
<v Speaker 1>like I'm sending it to all my fancy influencer friends,

0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:23.760
<v Speaker 1>like you know when it gets closer to the release dates.

0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:26.040
<v Speaker 1>But I made a bunch to give away to you guys.

0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:28.079
<v Speaker 1>So when I did it, I was like, I don't

0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:31.920
<v Speaker 1>want just a cheap, crappy cotton bag. I want a nice,

0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:35.400
<v Speaker 1>thick coat. I wanted to be canvass. You know, I

0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:38.880
<v Speaker 1>personally spent thirteen dollars on each bag. These are these

0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:42.320
<v Speaker 1>are nice bags. I designed them. They're thick. You can

0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:45.680
<v Speaker 1>use them as a book bag, a tote bag, you

0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:47.959
<v Speaker 1>can use them as a purse. I don't know. I

0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:49.880
<v Speaker 1>don't know what your needs are. I don't know if

0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:52.679
<v Speaker 1>you're going surfing or going to a farmer's market or

0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:55.640
<v Speaker 1>going to a socially distanced rave. I don't know you,

0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:58.600
<v Speaker 1>do you, bunny? I'm not here to judge. But here's

0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:01.799
<v Speaker 1>the exciting part. You now can have free will access

0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:04.680
<v Speaker 1>to them. But there's a catch. So I've partnered with

0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:10.200
<v Speaker 1>this place called Premier Collectibles and it's it's a deal

0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:15.240
<v Speaker 1>for our listeners. For the first two fifty orders, um,

0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:17.680
<v Speaker 1>you get for the price of the book, you get

0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:21.919
<v Speaker 1>the book, you get a tote free with the book,

0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:26.000
<v Speaker 1>and you get a signed book plate. So it will

0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:28.560
<v Speaker 1>be basically a signed book. Because it's COVID. I'm not

0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:30.720
<v Speaker 1>signing all the books. I'm sending them all these book

0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:35.160
<v Speaker 1>plates so that you get the book and signed, it's signed. Um.

0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:37.520
<v Speaker 1>So that's for the first to fifty. For the second

0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:40.400
<v Speaker 1>to fifty, it's just the book plate. So if you

0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:42.600
<v Speaker 1>want that tote, get it in early. And if you're

0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:44.440
<v Speaker 1>like art and I already ordered it and I ordered

0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:48.000
<v Speaker 1>it from our local bookstore. Well, I don't know. Holidays

0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:50.080
<v Speaker 1>are coming up, you've got birthdays. Maybe you've got some

0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:52.840
<v Speaker 1>uptight aunt that you're like, Aunt Shelley needs to laugh.

0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:55.160
<v Speaker 1>Let's get her, give her the book, keep the tote

0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:58.160
<v Speaker 1>for yourself. She'll never know. So that's happening. So the

0:03:58.160 --> 0:03:59.960
<v Speaker 1>way to do it you can either go to Premier

0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.560
<v Speaker 1>your Collectibles and just put my name in or put

0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:06.520
<v Speaker 1>in little miss little Compton, or you can go to

0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:10.360
<v Speaker 1>Arden Marine book dot Com that's a R D E

0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:15.240
<v Speaker 1>N M Y R I N book dot com and

0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:17.839
<v Speaker 1>get it there. And guess what, you can still send

0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:20.640
<v Speaker 1>that receipt in because I'm I'm gonna be giving away

0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:23.120

<v Speaker 1>not lost on me. Again. We asked for you guys

0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:41.040
<v Speaker 1>to give us reviews. It really does help on iTunes.

0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:43.000
<v Speaker 1>It's sad that we live in a world that's so

0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:45.880
<v Speaker 1>judged on metrics and like how many followers you have

0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:49.080
<v Speaker 1>and how many stars you've got, but it helps with everything.

0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:51.520
<v Speaker 1>And so you really showed up. And if you, you know,

0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:53.960
<v Speaker 1>if you don't feel like writing a review, even just

0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:57.760

0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:46.680
<v Speaker 1>we are really we're really in our zone and if

0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:48.640
<v Speaker 1>you think, I just want you to know we're all

0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:51.280

0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:53.640
<v Speaker 1>I am. I feel like I'm doing okay. But then

0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:55.120
<v Speaker 1>I thought I had a cavity and I went to

0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:59.479
<v Speaker 1>the dentist yesterday. Turns out I am grinding my teeth

0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:03.479
<v Speaker 1>so much and they're like, okay, Arden, you should wear

0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:06.800
<v Speaker 1>a nightguard. Oh no, no, girl, I've been wearing a

0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:09.560
<v Speaker 1>nightguard for like thirteen years and I actually wear it

0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:13.680
<v Speaker 1>every night. So it's they said, oh, see your day grinding,

0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:18.480
<v Speaker 1>you could wear your nightguard during the day, And I thought, like,

0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:21.440
<v Speaker 1>what am I am? I trying never to get laid again,

0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:25.360
<v Speaker 1>Like that's not happening. That's not happening. So I need

0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:27.560
<v Speaker 1>to figure out. I think I need to actually remember

0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:30.200
<v Speaker 1>to breathe a little deeper, which is not my specialty.

0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.359

0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:34.240
<v Speaker 1>know that your little friend art in here has rubbed

0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:38.000
<v Speaker 1>her teeth down to nubs. Not not I'm not proud

0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:40.719
<v Speaker 1>of it, but I'm also not ashamed of it. I'm

0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:44.000

<v Speaker 1>art and since her days on Mad TV and Chelsea lately,

0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:19.120
<v Speaker 1>and I've watched The Bachelor Show since the beginning, so

0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:22.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure sure why I didn't discover this podcast

0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:25.080
<v Speaker 1>sooner I started listening for Peter Susan. I think I

0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:28.320

0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:31.960
<v Speaker 1>hear your minosaurs, It's rotted my teeth. This podcast is

0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:34.640
<v Speaker 1>just what the doctor ordered. I love the quirky test

0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:36.840
<v Speaker 1>of characters, and it feels like I'm discussing the show

0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:39.760
<v Speaker 1>with friends, which is awesome because none of my actual

0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:42.720
<v Speaker 1>friends will watch it. I laughed so hard at every episode.

0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:45.320

0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:21.480
<v Speaker 1>to this podcast for years, and I'm ashamed of myself

0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:25.320
<v Speaker 1>for not writing a review before. This is my hands

<v Speaker 1>week crew, and art, and it feels like a fun

0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:32.360
<v Speaker 1>chat with friends who happened to be hilarious. And I,

0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:35.480
<v Speaker 1>as a mental health professional, appreciate the real and honest

0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:38.920
<v Speaker 1>discussions about real life challenges. The Bachelor is a wild

0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:42.200
<v Speaker 1>franchise and it's wonderful to have the professional guidance of Lorie.

0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:44.840

<v Speaker 1>podcast so that I can can can watch the shows,

0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:55.520
<v Speaker 1>although I do that too. Thank you for doing the

<v Speaker 1>lord's work and lots of love. Thanks for being my

0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:01.720
<v Speaker 1>quarantine friend. Oh my god? All fine? One more? Alright,

0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:04.280
<v Speaker 1>two more, I'll do emails next week. This is all

0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:09.240
<v Speaker 1>reviews this week. Okay, five stars Mesnic recap episode maybe

0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:12.439
<v Speaker 1>my favorite of all time by Morgan Batts. My stomach

0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:16.360
<v Speaker 1>still hurts from laughing. This episode was hilarious. I second

0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:19.520
<v Speaker 1>everything mentioned about Stephanie and Sophia. I'm from South Carolina.

0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:22.320
<v Speaker 1>So the story about General Mills reminded me of so

0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:25.439
<v Speaker 1>many moms from my middle school years. Then the impromptu

0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:29.000
<v Speaker 1>depression conversation. I love how honest and supportive you all

0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:31.920
<v Speaker 1>were for each other. Seriously, so so so good. Thank

0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:35.000
<v Speaker 1>you for this delicious content every week. Bravo once again.

0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:38.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, here's the thing, guys. Life goes on and

0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:41.680
<v Speaker 1>sometimes it's up and sometimes it's down, and you're still

0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:44.120
<v Speaker 1>allowed to have a laugh and like and this acknowledge

0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:47.720
<v Speaker 1>what's going on. You know, I'm doing okay this week.

0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:49.680
<v Speaker 1>I was stressed out last week. It comes and goes,

0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:52.680
<v Speaker 1>it's up and down. I you know, I trying to

0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:54.920
<v Speaker 1>get up early and exercise first thing in the morning,

0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:57.040
<v Speaker 1>and that seems to make my day feel better. And

0:09:57.080 --> 0:09:59.439
<v Speaker 1>then like I do the rest of my work stuff

0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:01.960
<v Speaker 1>after that, I don't know, and I am a night owl.

0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:09.280
<v Speaker 1>Final one. This is five stars by m Kramer. Literally choked,

0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:12.880
<v Speaker 1>laughing out loud. I've been with this podcast since the beginning.

0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:15.280
<v Speaker 1>I was on a neighborhood walk and listening to this

0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:18.480
<v Speaker 1>week's about Jason Goat. I took a sip of water

0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:21.760
<v Speaker 1>just as they started discussing Stephanie and did that you

0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:27.200
<v Speaker 1>are so sweet impression. I started choking and I thought

0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:31.120
<v Speaker 1>I might die from laughter. Always so funny. I lost

0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:35.040
<v Speaker 1>it with Arden's barbed impression. Must go back and listen

0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.520
<v Speaker 1>if you haven't. So there you go. That's some examples

0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:41.640
<v Speaker 1>of some great um reviews. So here we are. Why

0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:44.080
<v Speaker 1>am I doing these feeling thor any episodes? I am

0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:49.960
<v Speaker 1>doing them because writing the book gave me an opportunity

0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:56.280
<v Speaker 1>to stop and take start of the things that sort

0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:59.440
<v Speaker 1>of made me me, like the challenges that made me me,

0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:03.080
<v Speaker 1>the good stuff that like built put this humpty dumpty together,

0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:07.000
<v Speaker 1>and um, you know a lot of it in the

0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:12.080
<v Speaker 1>book is about how how some roadblocks ended up being gifts,

0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:14.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, the how things that didn't work out, how

0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:17.120
<v Speaker 1>I wanted them to force me to pivot and and

0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:23.640
<v Speaker 1>just the zig zag journey both inside myself and outside

0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:28.120
<v Speaker 1>myself how it all led to today. So it's it's

0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:30.480
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a pretty funny read. And it's also

0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:32.880
<v Speaker 1>my I would say, my heart is on the page.

0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:36.840
<v Speaker 1>And um, as a person who has social anxiety, this

0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:40.320
<v Speaker 1>podcast has really helped me make friends and you never

0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:42.320
<v Speaker 1>know who that is going to be. And the person

0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:47.360
<v Speaker 1>today that we did feeling thorny with I just love he.

0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:50.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, he was always my favorite bachelor. We reached

0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:54.280
<v Speaker 1>out to him. Um, we're talking about Wells atoms and

0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:58.079
<v Speaker 1>I reached out to him when I did my first

0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:01.560
<v Speaker 1>podcast in Nashville. We did our first live podcast, and

0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:03.880
<v Speaker 1>he was so great. We just had so much fun

0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:06.120
<v Speaker 1>with him. He was so warm and welcoming. And then

0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:10.760
<v Speaker 1>I got booked. I did a show in Nashville, like

0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:13.000
<v Speaker 1>I was on a CMT show for eight episodes, and

0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:16.119
<v Speaker 1>so I did his radio show. He did our podcast

0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:18.880
<v Speaker 1>a bunch. Um, oh you know what, No, that's not true.

0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:21.720
<v Speaker 1>Our very first time ever meeting Wells. I hunted him

0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:25.160
<v Speaker 1>down on Twitter. I had atom down on Twitter, and

0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:28.480
<v Speaker 1>then he came in I feel like maybe still drunk

0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:31.160
<v Speaker 1>from the night before. And he did a podcast with

0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:34.959
<v Speaker 1>me and Steve Heitner who played Kenny Bania on Seinfeld, Um,

0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:38.760
<v Speaker 1>when we were still at meltdown, and we just loved him,

0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:41.600
<v Speaker 1>and we like Steve busted his ball so much. You

0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:43.320
<v Speaker 1>can go back and listen to that of a Steve

0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:47.080
<v Speaker 1>just just one of my favorite humans. But then Wells

0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:51.560
<v Speaker 1>like he he has become a friend and he you know,

0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:54.840
<v Speaker 1>he there's been like a strange, weird journey with Wells

0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:57.559
<v Speaker 1>because I mean not to get not to get too

0:12:57.679 --> 0:13:01.640
<v Speaker 1>real here. But three years ago, right before another live

0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:03.600
<v Speaker 1>show we did, we did a live show at Outside

0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:06.120
<v Speaker 1>Lands Music Festival, and two weeks before the festival, my

0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:09.120
<v Speaker 1>dad passed away, and I allowed my I talked a

0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:11.000
<v Speaker 1>lot about in those episodes. I talked a lot about

0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:14.959
<v Speaker 1>Grief Island and sort of the joy and the tribulations

0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:17.800
<v Speaker 1>of grief Island. That was my own doing. I came

0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:19.800
<v Speaker 1>up with this idea of Grief Island, which I actually

0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:23.400
<v Speaker 1>talked about in the book. And um, I allowed myself

0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:26.960
<v Speaker 1>to cancel anything I wanted to cancel, and I felt

0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:30.240
<v Speaker 1>that my body instinctively knew what I wanted to do,

0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:32.600
<v Speaker 1>and so I canceled a lot of work obligations. But

0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:35.600
<v Speaker 1>I very much wanted to keep doing the podcast, and

0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:38.719
<v Speaker 1>I very much wanted to go to Outside Lands, and

0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:42.800
<v Speaker 1>so we went. And he was so great and uh

0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:45.880
<v Speaker 1>really just like such an easy person to be around.

0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:50.360
<v Speaker 1>He has so much humanity. And then last year, not

0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:53.679
<v Speaker 1>to be sorry guys, spoiler alert, don't get this has

0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:57.079
<v Speaker 1>already happened, and I'm okay, so, but my mom died

0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:59.880
<v Speaker 1>suddenly like a year and a half later, and well

0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:02.560
<v Speaker 1>Alls happened to be booked on the podcast. It was

0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:07.640
<v Speaker 1>right before the finale of Colton and so she died

0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:10.120
<v Speaker 1>on a Saturday, and I was filming Insatiable and I

0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:11.840
<v Speaker 1>went up to Rhode Island and I had to like

0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:13.760
<v Speaker 1>and it was he and Steve Heightner were booked to

0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:16.960
<v Speaker 1>do it again, and I was like, Hey, I don't

0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:23.360
<v Speaker 1>want to freak you out. My mom died suddenly yesterday. Um,

0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:26.680
<v Speaker 1>I still want to do the podcast. I'm not going

0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:31.840
<v Speaker 1>to be in person. Are you comfortable doing this with me?

0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:35.800
<v Speaker 1>And um, he said yes, so was he and Rob

0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:39.720
<v Speaker 1>Benedict and Steve Heightener. And you know some people would

0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:43.920
<v Speaker 1>have been freaked out by that and he wasn't. And UM,

0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:46.520
<v Speaker 1>I just think he's such a great person, you know,

0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:49.640
<v Speaker 1>he's the only he just is a good guy. And

0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:52.440
<v Speaker 1>I am grateful that he's in my life and that

0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:55.680
<v Speaker 1>he's our friend. And I'm so excited for you guys

0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:57.560
<v Speaker 1>just to get to know him more. And it's interesting

0:14:57.600 --> 0:14:59.240
<v Speaker 1>to me. I feel like he and Rob Benedict their

0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:02.680
<v Speaker 1>stories had some similarities. Maybe my brain if I'm we

0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:05.240
<v Speaker 1>recorded this so long ago, so there might be some

0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:08.560
<v Speaker 1>quarantine things that you're like, what I think we recorded

0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:14.120
<v Speaker 1>this in December or November, so um, yeah, that's it.

<v Speaker 1>gonna be. That's gonna be making baby baby making time. Sure, well,

0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:52.520
<v Speaker 1>we're so happy to have you here. You just mentioned

0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:54.720
<v Speaker 1>Steve Heiner, and as I did, just like a little

0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:57.480
<v Speaker 1>preliminary just looking you up, and I was like, I

0:17:57.520 --> 0:17:59.199
<v Speaker 1>don't need to ask how many. So I know he

0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:02.120
<v Speaker 1>has two sisters because I remember Steve Heightner calling them

0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:04.879
<v Speaker 1>wet and what, which I feel like in twenty nineteen,

0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:09.200
<v Speaker 1>like part of me is like how Heightener must feel

0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:12.080
<v Speaker 1>so restricted. Now, yeah, I think he came up with

0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:14.240
<v Speaker 1>wet and white, like right before the me too movement

0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:18.720
<v Speaker 1>really took and yeah, now he can't say it. The

0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:22.080
<v Speaker 1>problem is that one of one of the sisters is

0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:26.040
<v Speaker 1>such a big Seinfeld fan. When they heard he could

0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:29.879
<v Speaker 1>have called her anything, let's see you next Tuesday, and

0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:32.400
<v Speaker 1>they'd be like, wait what, Daniel. That's the thing with him.

0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:35.840
<v Speaker 1>That's the thing that's tricky about him, because like on paper,

0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:40.399
<v Speaker 1>everything that he's saying is horrible. And I remember, I

0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:43.080
<v Speaker 1>remember I met him. I was like twenty one years old.

0:18:43.080 --> 0:18:45.439
<v Speaker 1>He was my first job I ever did, Like, I

0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:47.879
<v Speaker 1>moved out here, I got this job. I'm living in

<v Speaker 1>billiards club. Yeah, but it's like a sports bar. Yeah.

0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:22.160

<v Speaker 1>him for when So I remember Justin Bobby was like

0:20:31.320 --> 0:20:33.879
<v Speaker 1>a fascinating So that was back in the day. They

0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:35.800
<v Speaker 1>would go they would film things there. Yeah, and so

0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:37.399
<v Speaker 1>he was always there. I was like, it's like you

0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:40.560
<v Speaker 1>walk there from his place and he would go there

0:20:40.680 --> 0:20:44.800
<v Speaker 1>every day and like hold court and like play golden tea.

0:20:44.960 --> 0:20:47.639
<v Speaker 1>And someone came in that was a casting director for

0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:50.159
<v Speaker 1>The Bachelor and was like this guy, so she not

0:20:50.240 --> 0:20:52.480
<v Speaker 1>to him and she was like, you have been entertaining

0:20:52.480 --> 0:20:54.720
<v Speaker 1>everybody this entire time, and you know who you are

0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:56.960
<v Speaker 1>and you know what your story is and are you single?

0:20:57.160 --> 0:20:59.600
<v Speaker 1>And at the time he was, and he went to

0:20:59.680 --> 0:21:02.919
<v Speaker 1>like the tire like casting process and my brothers. Just

0:21:02.920 --> 0:21:05.480
<v Speaker 1>one of those guys that like has never met a

0:21:05.480 --> 0:21:08.359
<v Speaker 1>stranger and like never loses a friend, like I burned

0:21:08.359 --> 0:21:11.720
<v Speaker 1>bridges left and right, but like he is always friendly

0:21:11.760 --> 0:21:14.359
<v Speaker 1>with everybody. And like eight years he didn't end up

0:21:14.400 --> 0:21:16.760
<v Speaker 1>not doing it because he the casting process takes a

0:21:16.840 --> 0:21:19.560
<v Speaker 1>very long time, and in that period he found his

0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:21.680
<v Speaker 1>now wife and so he was like, no, thanks, I'm

0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:25.000
<v Speaker 1>I've actually found love, so we're good. But eight years

0:21:25.040 --> 0:21:26.679
<v Speaker 1>went by and then all of a sudden, I was

0:21:26.720 --> 0:21:29.119
<v Speaker 1>like doing my radio show. I had recently gotten dumped,

0:21:29.160 --> 0:21:31.840
<v Speaker 1>and he was like, do you want to do The Bachelor?

0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:34.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm still I'm still good friends with the casting racause

0:21:34.600 --> 0:21:37.080
<v Speaker 1>he's never met a stranger who like had had since

0:21:37.160 --> 0:21:39.320
<v Speaker 1>moved to New York, but they still kept in touch.

0:21:40.040 --> 0:21:42.800
<v Speaker 1>And that's how you were in Nashville. In Nashville at

0:21:42.800 --> 0:21:47.040
<v Speaker 1>the time, um, and what did you think when he

0:21:47.080 --> 0:21:49.000
<v Speaker 1>called and told you that? So at the time, I

0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:52.200
<v Speaker 1>was doing a morning show I'm like a local radio station,

0:21:52.240 --> 0:21:54.280
<v Speaker 1>and I used to do this bit. It wasn't a

0:21:54.320 --> 0:21:56.359
<v Speaker 1>very good bit, but it was something I did where

0:21:56.480 --> 0:21:58.560
<v Speaker 1>I would go on auditions and I'm not an actor,

0:21:59.040 --> 0:22:01.520
<v Speaker 1>but I would go on actions for things. So like

0:22:01.600 --> 0:22:04.560
<v Speaker 1>the day before, I'd be really excited and like as

0:22:04.600 --> 0:22:06.520
<v Speaker 1>if you were my co host, you'd be like, let's

0:22:06.600 --> 0:22:08.280
<v Speaker 1>run through lines, and so he would be like a

0:22:08.480 --> 0:22:11.919
<v Speaker 1>China paper plate commercial and I'm like, wow, what a

0:22:11.960 --> 0:22:16.399
<v Speaker 1>great place. That was what it was. And I did

0:22:16.400 --> 0:22:20.399
<v Speaker 1>a mixed commercial and it really was like mix great taste,

0:22:20.440 --> 0:22:22.720
<v Speaker 1>like I don't even know, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah.

0:22:22.720 --> 0:22:24.520
<v Speaker 1>And so I used to go but I would intentionally

0:22:24.560 --> 0:22:26.480
<v Speaker 1>bomb because I didn't really care. It was more for

0:22:26.560 --> 0:22:29.040
<v Speaker 1>like the bit of the next day. We're right. Co

0:22:29.160 --> 0:22:30.840
<v Speaker 1>host would be like how did it go? And I

0:22:31.119 --> 0:22:34.440
<v Speaker 1>didn't get the China pep yeah. So I was like,

0:22:34.480 --> 0:22:36.119
<v Speaker 1>this would be really funny if I go to this

0:22:36.160 --> 0:22:38.800
<v Speaker 1>audition for The Bachelor so you can talk about it

0:22:38.800 --> 0:22:42.439
<v Speaker 1>on your radio show. That was like that's crazy, And

0:22:42.520 --> 0:22:44.879
<v Speaker 1>so I was crazy and I went into it like

0:22:45.000 --> 0:22:48.440
<v Speaker 1>super lazy fair and I didn't really take it seriously.

0:22:49.200 --> 0:22:52.159
<v Speaker 1>And because I've had that air of like I didn't

0:22:52.160 --> 0:22:55.560
<v Speaker 1>give a ship, they loved me immediately. I'm gonna guess

0:22:55.560 --> 0:23:00.040
<v Speaker 1>there's not that many people. I'm gonna I bet the

0:23:00.080 --> 0:23:01.840
<v Speaker 1>people who go in acting like they don't give a

0:23:01.880 --> 0:23:05.159
<v Speaker 1>ship probably desperately care, but are trying to act like

0:23:05.200 --> 0:23:07.760
<v Speaker 1>I meant to guests. There's actually very few who truly

0:23:07.800 --> 0:23:10.439
<v Speaker 1>don't give a ship that go in for it. Yeah, well,

0:23:11.040 --> 0:23:13.280
<v Speaker 1>this is why I remember of the day. I had

0:23:13.280 --> 0:23:15.200
<v Speaker 1>two radio at the time, I had two radio shows,

0:23:15.480 --> 0:23:17.040
<v Speaker 1>and so I had a window of when I could

0:23:17.240 --> 0:23:18.560
<v Speaker 1>had I had a morning show and then I had

0:23:18.560 --> 0:23:22.240
<v Speaker 1>an afternoon show. So I had like three hours so

0:23:23.000 --> 0:23:26.200
<v Speaker 1>in Naville in Nashville to do this audition. So I

0:23:26.920 --> 0:23:29.240
<v Speaker 1>off the bat was like got a heart out at

0:23:29.400 --> 0:23:33.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, like which I thinking back, like what an

0:23:33.359 --> 0:23:36.679
<v Speaker 1>asshole that, but it was true, Like I had to

0:23:36.720 --> 0:23:38.479
<v Speaker 1>go to work, and so I was like, I need

0:23:38.520 --> 0:23:40.359
<v Speaker 1>to be the first one in. I'm sorry, but I

0:23:40.359 --> 0:23:43.520
<v Speaker 1>gotta I have work. And that's fine, that's cool. And

0:23:43.560 --> 0:23:46.480
<v Speaker 1>also because my brother had connected me with like now

0:23:46.520 --> 0:23:49.720
<v Speaker 1>the lead casting director, I think they were giving me

0:23:49.800 --> 0:23:52.640
<v Speaker 1>some liberties that they weren't giving more because you had

0:23:52.760 --> 0:23:56.080
<v Speaker 1>because you had an end. Yes, and and so I

0:23:56.119 --> 0:23:58.359
<v Speaker 1>remember showing up and it was in Nashville. It's at

0:23:58.400 --> 0:24:01.680
<v Speaker 1>a hotel, and everyone was in suits because I think

0:24:01.720 --> 0:24:05.159
<v Speaker 1>that in those guys minds, you had to wear what

0:24:05.280 --> 0:24:08.160
<v Speaker 1>you would wear getting out of the limo and I

0:24:08.200 --> 0:24:11.080
<v Speaker 1>was wearing a T shirt, like a jean jacket and

0:24:11.240 --> 0:24:15.359
<v Speaker 1>like sneakers, and so I walked in there and they're like,

0:24:15.400 --> 0:24:16.840
<v Speaker 1>we know you have a heart out and I was

0:24:16.840 --> 0:24:19.000
<v Speaker 1>like yeah, thanks, and I was like they're like, why

0:24:19.000 --> 0:24:19.879
<v Speaker 1>do you have to go? And I was like, oh,

0:24:19.880 --> 0:24:22.440
<v Speaker 1>I got a radio show I gotta go do. And

0:24:22.480 --> 0:24:25.240
<v Speaker 1>then of course they're like do your Everyone always says

0:24:25.280 --> 0:24:27.920
<v Speaker 1>like do your radio voice, which I don't really have one,

0:24:28.560 --> 0:24:31.480
<v Speaker 1>but I have the fake ones. So so I did

0:24:31.520 --> 0:24:33.600
<v Speaker 1>it for them. And then they were like, do some

0:24:33.680 --> 0:24:36.000
<v Speaker 1>bits that you're going to do today, and so I

0:24:36.080 --> 0:24:39.760
<v Speaker 1>had them already like done the bit in the morning,

0:24:39.880 --> 0:24:42.240
<v Speaker 1>so I had the same bit the afternoon and I

0:24:42.280 --> 0:24:44.440
<v Speaker 1>did it for him. Like an hour and a half

0:24:44.440 --> 0:24:46.639
<v Speaker 1>went by, and I was like, guys, I gotta like

0:24:46.880 --> 0:24:49.040
<v Speaker 1>heart out, gotta go. And that's when they were like,

0:24:49.119 --> 0:24:51.119
<v Speaker 1>we need to make sure you're open in March and

0:24:51.160 --> 0:24:54.320
<v Speaker 1>April next year, so you didn't have to go to

0:24:54.480 --> 0:24:58.920
<v Speaker 1>like the airport Hilton I did. They made me fly

0:24:59.040 --> 0:25:01.679
<v Speaker 1>out later for that. I'm curious about that route, So

0:25:01.760 --> 0:25:04.000
<v Speaker 1>you fly out so you were like, okay, I've made

0:25:04.000 --> 0:25:07.720
<v Speaker 1>it through, I'm now here. I am my top fifties

0:25:07.760 --> 0:25:09.960
<v Speaker 1>when you get to go out there, So they do

0:25:10.040 --> 0:25:12.400
<v Speaker 1>they pay to fly you in? Okay, so they paid

0:25:12.440 --> 0:25:13.760
<v Speaker 1>to fly you in? Do you have to wear a

0:25:13.800 --> 0:25:19.480
<v Speaker 1>certain outfit? I don't remember? And are you like sequester

0:25:19.520 --> 0:25:24.080
<v Speaker 1>or do they take your phone? I don't think they

0:25:24.080 --> 0:25:26.600
<v Speaker 1>took my phone. At that point, I was the question.

0:25:26.640 --> 0:25:31.040
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't leave the room. Were you with any other guys? Wow? Okay,

0:25:31.040 --> 0:25:34.560
<v Speaker 1>so you're in are you can you watch TV? Like

0:25:34.600 --> 0:25:36.800
<v Speaker 1>unlimited room service? This is not a time in which

0:25:36.800 --> 0:25:39.679
<v Speaker 1>I was like, no blame my first few jobs, I'm like,

0:25:39.680 --> 0:25:42.000
<v Speaker 1>you mean craft, I could eat all these pop jars

0:25:42.320 --> 0:25:44.600
<v Speaker 1>and I truly the first job I ever had everyone

0:25:44.640 --> 0:25:47.120
<v Speaker 1>on it. We all gained ctain like you, this mode

0:25:47.240 --> 0:25:49.720
<v Speaker 1>is free, you know? And then your pants are slowly

0:25:49.720 --> 0:25:53.080
<v Speaker 1>getting tighter and tighter. Um okay, So so you're there,

0:25:53.160 --> 0:25:55.800
<v Speaker 1>you're in lockdown? And how is it like a three

0:25:55.880 --> 0:25:58.040
<v Speaker 1>day weekend? Like? How long are you at? Like the

0:25:58.119 --> 0:26:00.200
<v Speaker 1>Ramata l A. It's so funny because every time I

0:26:00.240 --> 0:26:01.600
<v Speaker 1>go to l A X now to fly out, I

0:26:01.640 --> 0:26:04.360
<v Speaker 1>see it and I'm like, it's the one on the right,

0:26:04.359 --> 0:26:08.760
<v Speaker 1>it's white, it's shitty. I think it's a shared and yeah, um,

0:26:08.960 --> 0:26:11.000
<v Speaker 1>and I don't remember. I think it was an all

0:26:11.119 --> 0:26:14.040
<v Speaker 1>weekend thing, so I think I flew out like on Thursday.

0:26:14.080 --> 0:26:16.760
<v Speaker 1>I think I had stuff Friday and Saturday, and then

0:26:16.800 --> 0:26:19.119
<v Speaker 1>I flew back on Sunday. At this point, now that

0:26:19.119 --> 0:26:21.320
<v Speaker 1>it's getting more real, now you've got some skin in

0:26:21.359 --> 0:26:23.960
<v Speaker 1>the game, are you starting to care? Are you getting nervous?

0:26:24.160 --> 0:26:27.240
<v Speaker 1>Do you do? You still not care? I absolutely care?

0:26:27.359 --> 0:26:29.120
<v Speaker 1>You care? At first it was just for the bit,

0:26:29.160 --> 0:26:30.880
<v Speaker 1>like I wanted the next day thing. And then when

0:26:30.880 --> 0:26:32.119
<v Speaker 1>they were like, we want you to do this, I

0:26:32.160 --> 0:26:35.600
<v Speaker 1>was like, whoa really? Like this would be yeah? Um?

0:26:35.640 --> 0:26:37.439
<v Speaker 1>And I was single and I was like, yeah, why not.

0:26:37.480 --> 0:26:39.480
<v Speaker 1>I kept keeping getting like cheated on a dump, like

0:26:39.720 --> 0:26:43.360
<v Speaker 1>as well, I'll try this, why not? Um? So yeah,

0:26:43.560 --> 0:26:46.359
<v Speaker 1>but the same thing happened. Like have you had guests

0:26:46.359 --> 0:26:48.400
<v Speaker 1>on where they tell you like that process of being

0:26:48.440 --> 0:26:52.360
<v Speaker 1>in the shared No? No, no. So it's pretty interesting.

0:26:52.520 --> 0:26:57.160
<v Speaker 1>Like one you know you you do a psych evaluation,

0:26:57.880 --> 0:27:01.960
<v Speaker 1>so I've seen unreal like what I mean they do

0:27:02.000 --> 0:27:03.399
<v Speaker 1>they want to see if you're going to crack, Like

0:27:03.560 --> 0:27:05.879
<v Speaker 1>what kind of questions do they ask? How do they evaluate?

0:27:06.160 --> 0:27:08.760
<v Speaker 1>So it's it's a I guess it's a pretty typical

0:27:09.400 --> 0:27:12.919
<v Speaker 1>psych evaluation, Like it's across the board. If you're going

0:27:13.000 --> 0:27:15.159
<v Speaker 1>to be in politics or whatever, it's just all the

0:27:15.200 --> 0:27:17.760
<v Speaker 1>same test. What kind of questions? Is it about your

0:27:17.840 --> 0:27:20.359
<v Speaker 1>family or is it walcked up? Man? So they'll have

0:27:20.440 --> 0:27:25.879
<v Speaker 1>questions what will be like, um, God, would you like

0:27:26.000 --> 0:27:28.959
<v Speaker 1>to be a florist? Yes? Or no? And then you're like,

0:27:29.640 --> 0:27:31.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, no, I don't think I want to be

0:27:31.040 --> 0:27:33.520
<v Speaker 1>a florist. And then the next questions, do you have

0:27:33.560 --> 0:27:36.639
<v Speaker 1>demonic thoughts of killing your parents? Okay? Yes or no?

0:27:36.960 --> 0:27:38.879
<v Speaker 1>And then you're like, well, no, now I'm rethinking the

0:27:38.880 --> 0:27:42.000
<v Speaker 1>florist question right right? I answer wrong? Did I answer? Am? I?

0:27:42.080 --> 0:27:44.240
<v Speaker 1>Now the I'm the psycho because I didn't want to

0:27:44.240 --> 0:27:46.080
<v Speaker 1>be a florist. Do you want to be a park ranger?

0:27:47.200 --> 0:27:50.479
<v Speaker 1>Do you harbor ill will to those who have wronged you?

0:27:50.880 --> 0:27:53.320
<v Speaker 1>It's stuff like that, they trick you. It's like it's

0:27:53.359 --> 0:27:55.879
<v Speaker 1>like it's like it's like it almost feels like a

0:27:55.880 --> 0:27:58.200
<v Speaker 1>good cop bad cop, but is only one person asking

0:27:58.240 --> 0:28:00.439
<v Speaker 1>and they're like, well, I do like fluff questions? And

0:28:00.480 --> 0:28:03.840
<v Speaker 1>then yeah, do I harbor ill will? Yeah? I would

0:28:03.880 --> 0:28:06.240
<v Speaker 1>say I do. I think I hold a grudge? Yeah,

0:28:07.040 --> 0:28:10.280
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of questions of like, um, are the

0:28:10.400 --> 0:28:14.760
<v Speaker 1>reasons why you have been unsuccessful due to other people's actions?

0:28:15.320 --> 0:28:17.000
<v Speaker 1>So it's like it's like trying to figure out if

0:28:17.160 --> 0:28:20.879
<v Speaker 1>you're angry at others and not like taking ownership. I

0:28:20.880 --> 0:28:23.920
<v Speaker 1>don't know. So you take that test and you meet

0:28:24.000 --> 0:28:27.679
<v Speaker 1>with a shrink and you talk to them about like

0:28:27.760 --> 0:28:31.360
<v Speaker 1>your life problems and everything. They ask, are your parents married?

0:28:31.480 --> 0:28:34.240
<v Speaker 1>Are you the test? They can figure out a lot

0:28:34.280 --> 0:28:37.240
<v Speaker 1>about you. I'm kind of freaky. I'm sure I have

0:28:37.440 --> 0:28:41.440
<v Speaker 1>no game face. I'm in and like I will answer anything,

0:28:41.560 --> 0:28:43.000
<v Speaker 1>and not in a good way. I won't. I don't

0:28:43.040 --> 0:28:45.040
<v Speaker 1>want to, and I won't be smooth about it. But

0:28:45.080 --> 0:28:47.000
<v Speaker 1>I could fully be like tricked into a cult, you

0:28:47.040 --> 0:28:51.200
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean? If they're absolutely bringing people that

0:28:51.320 --> 0:28:53.800
<v Speaker 1>have filled this test because like Chad or Luke Pete.

0:28:53.800 --> 0:28:55.840
<v Speaker 1>But I think maybe they want that. They may want

0:28:56.440 --> 0:28:59.240
<v Speaker 1>I think they're like, here's our here's our real viable guys,

0:28:59.240 --> 0:29:04.080
<v Speaker 1>and maybe here's our wild cards. I don't know. Okay,

0:29:04.080 --> 0:29:07.719
<v Speaker 1>So the backstory and Chad was apparently when Chad did

0:29:07.720 --> 0:29:10.960
<v Speaker 1>all that stuff, he was like thirty pounds lighter, and

0:29:12.640 --> 0:29:14.440
<v Speaker 1>I think he started to work. He started to work

0:29:14.440 --> 0:29:19.640
<v Speaker 1>out way, and I remember talking to two producers like

0:29:19.640 --> 0:29:21.640
<v Speaker 1>while we were filming that, being like, how could you

0:29:21.720 --> 0:29:24.640
<v Speaker 1>bring someone like this here? This is a liability for

0:29:24.680 --> 0:29:30.479
<v Speaker 1>all of us. Was he was dangerous and I was

0:29:30.760 --> 0:29:33.360
<v Speaker 1>at that time like a buck fifty. I was getting

0:29:33.360 --> 0:29:37.840
<v Speaker 1>ready getting broken in half. Um And and they were

0:29:37.840 --> 0:29:40.960
<v Speaker 1>all like three months ago when we cast this thing.

0:29:41.040 --> 0:29:43.880
<v Speaker 1>He did not look like this. I see, I see.

0:29:44.240 --> 0:29:46.800
<v Speaker 1>But it's also it's not a like a pass er

0:29:46.880 --> 0:29:49.160
<v Speaker 1>a fail thing, you know, like you I don't think

0:29:49.200 --> 0:29:52.440
<v Speaker 1>you can fail that test. It's more of like what

0:29:52.520 --> 0:29:56.479
<v Speaker 1>type of personality you are? Um? I And I obited

0:29:56.520 --> 0:29:58.920
<v Speaker 1>a point because I've done they made me do it

0:29:58.960 --> 0:30:02.600
<v Speaker 1>every year and now as a bartender, and I make

0:30:02.640 --> 0:30:06.080
<v Speaker 1>a point to talk to the to the shrink afterwards

0:30:06.080 --> 0:30:08.960
<v Speaker 1>and be like tell me my scores, like how because

0:30:09.240 --> 0:30:13.320
<v Speaker 1>you change, like you're everyone changes through their life. And

0:30:13.440 --> 0:30:15.960
<v Speaker 1>so it was really funny. They would go compare my

0:30:16.640 --> 0:30:19.680
<v Speaker 1>from like my first time taking it to like now,

0:30:19.880 --> 0:30:22.920
<v Speaker 1>and what my my confidence now is like so much

0:30:22.960 --> 0:30:26.720
<v Speaker 1>better than it? Like yeah, but like I've become more

0:30:26.840 --> 0:30:30.160
<v Speaker 1>more self deprecating, but that's also like a confidence Like

0:30:30.200 --> 0:30:32.840
<v Speaker 1>it's all going back the same thing. And that's interesting,

0:30:33.080 --> 0:30:36.280
<v Speaker 1>super it's a crazy weird test, but yes, you take

0:30:36.320 --> 0:30:40.680
<v Speaker 1>that test. You talk to like a private eye that

0:30:40.800 --> 0:30:44.120
<v Speaker 1>like goes deep into your stuff because they don't think

0:30:44.160 --> 0:30:46.680
<v Speaker 1>you can't have someone who has especially now, but you

0:30:46.720 --> 0:30:49.720
<v Speaker 1>can't have someone who has a secret a secret or

0:30:49.760 --> 0:30:54.160
<v Speaker 1>a restraining order against them or and I assume now

0:30:54.240 --> 0:30:57.120
<v Speaker 1>they have like social media private eye. That wasn't a

0:30:57.200 --> 0:31:01.480
<v Speaker 1>thing during my time. I know that my friend who

0:31:01.560 --> 0:31:04.240
<v Speaker 1>just did like a stand up, he's like a stand

0:31:04.280 --> 0:31:06.480
<v Speaker 1>up who did not like the new common or whatever.

0:31:06.720 --> 0:31:08.480
<v Speaker 1>There's not the last comic standing but whatever that one

0:31:08.520 --> 0:31:11.520
<v Speaker 1>was on NBC, Like I know he knew that he

0:31:11.600 --> 0:31:14.360
<v Speaker 1>was the only one that didn't have like when they

0:31:14.400 --> 0:31:17.560
<v Speaker 1>scrubbed all of their tweets, he was the only one

0:31:17.560 --> 0:31:19.600
<v Speaker 1>they didn't have to delete any two like they're now

0:31:20.280 --> 0:31:24.440
<v Speaker 1>deep diving, which they should, which they should because they

0:31:24.480 --> 0:31:28.160
<v Speaker 1>had because they had that guy who did there all

0:31:28.160 --> 0:31:34.480
<v Speaker 1>those racist Lee Lee they should they should or or

0:31:35.160 --> 0:31:37.320
<v Speaker 1>or no, actually I actually I like the idea of

0:31:37.800 --> 0:31:41.880
<v Speaker 1>racing should have that. Yeah, yeah, I mean you're right

0:31:41.960 --> 0:31:45.200
<v Speaker 1>if it is that kind of yeah, yeah, um, that's

0:31:45.200 --> 0:31:50.240
<v Speaker 1>interesting that and is it scary to be like meeting

0:31:50.240 --> 0:31:52.160
<v Speaker 1>with the psyche people. Is it's scary to talk to

0:31:52.200 --> 0:31:54.680
<v Speaker 1>like the detective type, Like that feels intimidating because it

0:31:54.720 --> 0:31:57.240
<v Speaker 1>feel almost like you've been arrested or is it exciting?

0:31:58.280 --> 0:32:01.560
<v Speaker 1>It's nerve racking. I think, yeah, you're also just like

0:32:02.280 --> 0:32:04.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what's going to show up. You know,

0:32:04.320 --> 0:32:07.240
<v Speaker 1>in college, I got arrested for stupid stuff and like,

0:32:07.320 --> 0:32:10.760
<v Speaker 1>is that gonna pop up interesting? And then you know,

0:32:10.800 --> 0:32:13.520
<v Speaker 1>I got like a minor in possession of marijuana and

0:32:13.560 --> 0:32:16.440
<v Speaker 1>I was like, eighteen, is that gonna is this gonna

0:32:16.480 --> 0:32:18.720
<v Speaker 1>screw me over? And you know, and then it didn't

0:32:18.840 --> 0:32:21.520
<v Speaker 1>know that stuff like that's not really what they're looking

0:32:21.560 --> 0:32:23.800
<v Speaker 1>for concerned about. They don't need to be like a psycho.

0:32:24.000 --> 0:32:28.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah uh so, yeah, so you do, and then you

0:32:28.600 --> 0:32:32.080
<v Speaker 1>take STD tests. You take a lot of STD tests,

0:32:32.960 --> 0:32:37.000
<v Speaker 1>which I always appreciated because I mean, and I still

0:32:37.080 --> 0:32:40.640
<v Speaker 1>do for parent I still do those, and it's always

0:32:40.720 --> 0:32:43.800
<v Speaker 1>us because every year I'm like, yeah, yeah, exactly, yeah,

0:32:43.800 --> 0:32:47.560
<v Speaker 1>that's right. I know. Yeah. I was always obsessed with diseases.

0:32:47.840 --> 0:32:49.920
<v Speaker 1>I remember my brother and I would always drag my

0:32:49.960 --> 0:32:52.520
<v Speaker 1>brother every year. I'd be like, We're going to Washington

0:32:52.600 --> 0:32:55.480
<v Speaker 1>Square Park to the clinic and I we would every year.

0:32:55.520 --> 0:32:57.480
<v Speaker 1>I was so parent and I was like, come on,

0:32:57.920 --> 0:32:59.720
<v Speaker 1>and like, it's not like we were the most popular

0:32:59.720 --> 0:33:01.360
<v Speaker 1>people in town. But like, I don't know why I

0:33:01.360 --> 0:33:03.480
<v Speaker 1>about my brother, but there was there was like we

0:33:03.600 --> 0:33:06.000
<v Speaker 1>I think we were both equally freakingly wired. It was like,

0:33:06.080 --> 0:33:08.840
<v Speaker 1>let's go make sure we're cooling. Um, so that's good

0:33:08.840 --> 0:33:10.800
<v Speaker 1>that they do that, I think. I mean, it's important

0:33:10.800 --> 0:33:15.200
<v Speaker 1>because you have the wind and have like a mom,

0:33:15.280 --> 0:33:19.880
<v Speaker 1>so like cheering it on that part was respect, Like

0:33:19.920 --> 0:33:23.920
<v Speaker 1>how I don't ever want a parent cheering on me

0:33:24.320 --> 0:33:27.680
<v Speaker 1>boning like my parents or somebody else's parents cheering on

0:33:27.760 --> 0:33:30.840
<v Speaker 1>me getting laid four times in a when. Now, I

0:33:30.920 --> 0:33:32.720
<v Speaker 1>just think that she panicked because she didn't know how

0:33:32.760 --> 0:33:43.720
<v Speaker 1>to respond to that situation. I mean, how would you not, oh,

0:33:44.560 --> 0:33:54.800
<v Speaker 1>bone zone time for the bone zone were your How

0:33:54.800 --> 0:33:56.640
<v Speaker 1>did your parents feel about you going on? Was it

0:33:56.760 --> 0:33:58.680
<v Speaker 1>weird to have your parents watched? I mean you didn't

0:33:58.720 --> 0:34:03.000
<v Speaker 1>have anything super embarrassed saying no, I I think everyone

0:34:03.160 --> 0:34:06.600
<v Speaker 1>was super apprehensive of me doing it and worrying how

0:34:07.200 --> 0:34:09.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, how I would be quote unquote edited think

0:34:09.640 --> 0:34:12.080
<v Speaker 1>they had changed who I was. To be honest with you,

0:34:12.920 --> 0:34:14.919
<v Speaker 1>and someone who has not done the show for so long,

0:34:16.040 --> 0:34:18.160
<v Speaker 1>I've never seen an edit that I was like, that

0:34:18.200 --> 0:34:21.919
<v Speaker 1>didn't happen. You know, for the most part, you said

0:34:21.960 --> 0:34:25.759
<v Speaker 1>that ship, you were that person. Just because you don't

0:34:25.800 --> 0:34:28.240
<v Speaker 1>like it doesn't mean it didn't happen. That kind of stuff.

0:34:28.239 --> 0:34:31.680
<v Speaker 1>So but at that time, my parents didn't know that,

0:34:31.800 --> 0:34:33.839
<v Speaker 1>and my assist my siblings did not, so they were

0:34:33.880 --> 0:34:36.560
<v Speaker 1>just kind of apprehensive of how it's gonna look. I

0:34:36.600 --> 0:34:39.320
<v Speaker 1>remember coming home being like, I didn't tell anyone what happened,

0:34:39.600 --> 0:34:42.080
<v Speaker 1>but I was like, everything's gonna be fine, right. I

0:34:42.120 --> 0:34:44.399
<v Speaker 1>don't look bad, not nothing. I don't do anything that's

0:34:44.400 --> 0:34:46.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna make me look bad at all, you know. I

0:34:46.680 --> 0:34:50.400
<v Speaker 1>feel like, did hear you say you were less confident

0:34:50.400 --> 0:34:52.319
<v Speaker 1>in the first time and then more confident later on.

0:34:52.440 --> 0:34:55.880
<v Speaker 1>I feel like if I went into that mansion, I

0:34:55.920 --> 0:34:57.799
<v Speaker 1>would find it hard. I think I would have gone

0:34:57.800 --> 0:35:00.480
<v Speaker 1>in not confident, and I think I would have hard

0:35:00.560 --> 0:35:03.960
<v Speaker 1>not to fold in, like in a competitive setting, particularly

0:35:04.000 --> 0:35:06.239
<v Speaker 1>in a romantic situation, like if I ever knew I

0:35:06.320 --> 0:35:08.600
<v Speaker 1>was like my friend and I both liked the same

0:35:08.719 --> 0:35:12.000
<v Speaker 1>or whatever, Like I would always sort of let somebody else,

0:35:12.400 --> 0:35:14.600
<v Speaker 1>like I would sort of self sabotage. I think I

0:35:14.640 --> 0:35:16.920
<v Speaker 1>think it would be hard not to fold in in

0:35:17.040 --> 0:35:19.920
<v Speaker 1>the house, Like, how did how was it being in

0:35:19.960 --> 0:35:23.280
<v Speaker 1>that environment? Well, I knew I was never in the game,

0:35:23.560 --> 0:35:27.200
<v Speaker 1>Like it was pretty evident that that she thought I

0:35:27.280 --> 0:35:30.640
<v Speaker 1>was cool but not super into me. How did that feel?

0:35:31.280 --> 0:35:33.759
<v Speaker 1>I was fine with it because I remember I liked

0:35:33.800 --> 0:35:35.440
<v Speaker 1>her and I thought she was cool, but I also

0:35:36.080 --> 0:35:40.560
<v Speaker 1>wasn't it this is it, you know? But I also

0:35:40.600 --> 0:35:42.920
<v Speaker 1>just have a lot of time with her until the end.

0:35:42.960 --> 0:35:46.200
<v Speaker 1>That's when I got like sent home. But we've talked

0:35:46.200 --> 0:35:52.480
<v Speaker 1>about this on other podcasts, like the the psychological experiment

0:35:52.719 --> 0:35:56.680
<v Speaker 1>of the whole thing is interesting, and ratings like reflect it.

0:35:57.120 --> 0:36:01.760
<v Speaker 1>The Bachelor is five, far and away the more popular

0:36:02.040 --> 0:36:05.799
<v Speaker 1>of the of the three shows, is it? In terms

0:36:05.880 --> 0:36:09.000
<v Speaker 1>of ratings? For sure? And it's this weird thing at

0:36:09.040 --> 0:36:12.239
<v Speaker 1>least favorite really, I mean, and I like The Bachelorette

0:36:12.280 --> 0:36:15.480
<v Speaker 1>in Paradise, Well, Paradise is coming up. I mean, Paradise

0:36:15.560 --> 0:36:19.320
<v Speaker 1>is to me the greatest show on television paras blast.

0:36:19.920 --> 0:36:22.800
<v Speaker 1>It's the most fun and it feels actually like people

0:36:22.960 --> 0:36:25.640
<v Speaker 1>are together the longest and like I love I feel

0:36:25.640 --> 0:36:27.759
<v Speaker 1>like I'm watching the other two to get to Paradise. Well, yeah,

0:36:27.800 --> 0:36:30.040
<v Speaker 1>and now that's what it is. It's it's a mean.

0:36:30.200 --> 0:36:32.200
<v Speaker 1>Those two shows are now a means to the end

0:36:32.560 --> 0:36:34.360
<v Speaker 1>to get to paradise, you know, because you need to

0:36:34.400 --> 0:36:36.960
<v Speaker 1>have those casts to get there. Now that Bachelor has

0:36:37.000 --> 0:36:40.600
<v Speaker 1>become very pageant centered, that's less interesting to me. I

0:36:40.680 --> 0:36:42.960
<v Speaker 1>like the bromances that happened in the house. I like

0:36:43.040 --> 0:36:46.120
<v Speaker 1>the man friendships that happened during the Bachelorette. Was gonna

0:36:46.160 --> 0:36:48.880
<v Speaker 1>say so in terms of ratings, this weird thing that

0:36:48.920 --> 0:36:52.319
<v Speaker 1>happens when you put a bunch of women together going

0:36:52.360 --> 0:36:54.919
<v Speaker 1>after one man, and you put a bunch of men

0:36:55.040 --> 0:36:59.080
<v Speaker 1>together going after one woman. Women for whatever reason instinctively

0:36:59.400 --> 0:37:05.239
<v Speaker 1>like um, get Caddie, separate and get really really competitive.

0:37:05.239 --> 0:37:08.880
<v Speaker 1>And it's got to go back to like the um

0:37:09.000 --> 0:37:12.800
<v Speaker 1>the caveman days and the pact mentality. Men all band

0:37:12.880 --> 0:37:16.520
<v Speaker 1>together and we're like chums and we're all for everyone

0:37:16.719 --> 0:37:20.960
<v Speaker 1>on It's clear watching that, like you can see every season.

0:37:21.040 --> 0:37:23.520
<v Speaker 1>I love when you see people are starting to enjoy

0:37:23.600 --> 0:37:26.480
<v Speaker 1>each other, Like it's fun to watch. But in terms

0:37:26.560 --> 0:37:30.399
<v Speaker 1>of ratings, you want to see everyone pickering. And that's

0:37:30.400 --> 0:37:33.279
<v Speaker 1>why this is my theory, is why the Bachelor does better.

0:37:33.320 --> 0:37:36.320
<v Speaker 1>It's because at the end of the day, the lead

0:37:36.520 --> 0:37:39.239
<v Speaker 1>isn't the backstor of the back threat. The lead is

0:37:39.600 --> 0:37:43.000
<v Speaker 1>the cast that's going after those people, right, And so

0:37:43.120 --> 0:37:46.600
<v Speaker 1>if everyone's friendly, then there's really not a lot of drama.

0:37:46.920 --> 0:37:49.719
<v Speaker 1>So and if this drama, if everyone hates each other,

0:37:49.920 --> 0:37:51.680
<v Speaker 1>that's much better. And I think that's why people like

0:37:51.719 --> 0:37:55.320
<v Speaker 1>The Bachelor. Who is your best friend in the house? Um,

0:37:55.480 --> 0:37:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Derek was my best friend in the house. Derek Derek

0:37:59.440 --> 0:38:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Paith He dated Um Oh my god, he was. He

0:38:04.080 --> 0:38:07.799
<v Speaker 1>was on JoJo's season. Oh my god. That further than

0:38:07.800 --> 0:38:12.960
<v Speaker 1>me too. He seems so sweet. I really liked him,

0:38:13.000 --> 0:38:14.680
<v Speaker 1>and I really liked I thought he handled the whole

0:38:14.719 --> 0:38:17.719
<v Speaker 1>Demi thing so well this summer. And I didn't like

0:38:17.760 --> 0:38:20.719
<v Speaker 1>when John Paul Jones came after him. I didn't like that.

0:38:20.960 --> 0:38:24.120
<v Speaker 1>I like it well, John Paul Jones just didn't. It

0:38:24.160 --> 0:38:26.840
<v Speaker 1>didn't make any sense. It felt a little live wire.

0:38:27.440 --> 0:38:30.279
<v Speaker 1>It just was like, I'm losing out to this guy.

0:38:30.440 --> 0:38:32.320
<v Speaker 1>Let's make up some stuff. No, he seemed like a

0:38:32.640 --> 0:38:35.160
<v Speaker 1>nice guy, like I felt like. I liked him. Yeah,

0:38:35.320 --> 0:38:39.120
<v Speaker 1>from he's from Iowa. He's like a finance guy in Manhattan.

0:38:39.120 --> 0:38:41.560
<v Speaker 1>He's like a normal dude. Seems like a normal and

0:38:41.680 --> 0:38:46.279
<v Speaker 1>like not to like belabor a overused cliche, like I

0:38:46.280 --> 0:38:48.799
<v Speaker 1>think he's always been there for the right reasons, Like

0:38:49.400 --> 0:38:52.279
<v Speaker 1>he was super Remember when we ruined together and I

0:38:52.320 --> 0:38:53.759
<v Speaker 1>was being honest and I was like, I don't think

0:38:53.760 --> 0:38:56.080
<v Speaker 1>she's into me, so I'm not that in Jojo and

0:38:56.120 --> 0:38:58.919
<v Speaker 1>he was like, how could you say that I'm so

0:38:59.000 --> 0:39:00.880
<v Speaker 1>into her? And I was like, well, don't tell anyone.

0:39:00.880 --> 0:39:02.759
<v Speaker 1>I said that. I guess He's like, don't worry your

0:39:02.800 --> 0:39:05.160
<v Speaker 1>secret safe with me. And then he went on Barrettyes

0:39:05.200 --> 0:39:07.160
<v Speaker 1>and he got engaged to Taylor and that didn't work out,

0:39:07.640 --> 0:39:09.800
<v Speaker 1>and then he came again and he just keeps on

0:39:09.880 --> 0:39:12.719
<v Speaker 1>any dumped. I wanted him to be the bachelor, I was.

0:39:12.760 --> 0:39:14.480
<v Speaker 1>That's what I was rooting. I wanted him. When he

0:39:14.560 --> 0:39:16.880
<v Speaker 1>laughed and he was like and that, he was like

0:39:16.920 --> 0:39:21.320
<v Speaker 1>everybody always says you're such a catch, Like I wanted him.

0:39:21.360 --> 0:39:23.279
<v Speaker 1>I felt like we all felt. I felt like we

0:39:23.360 --> 0:39:25.840
<v Speaker 1>all every lady in America was like, oh my god,

0:39:25.840 --> 0:39:28.480
<v Speaker 1>there's so many ladies they would fix you up with. Yeah.

0:39:28.800 --> 0:39:31.839
<v Speaker 1>My The reason why I was rooting for him, other

0:39:31.920 --> 0:39:34.279
<v Speaker 1>than he's one of my friends, was he's thirty two,

0:39:34.360 --> 0:39:37.279
<v Speaker 1>thirty three, so that opens the door to have some

0:39:37.360 --> 0:39:40.080
<v Speaker 1>older women, which I feel like the show has been

0:39:40.080 --> 0:39:42.560
<v Speaker 1>missing a lot of it's been really young really only

0:39:42.600 --> 0:39:47.080
<v Speaker 1>twenty three. Yeah, that's young. That's young. I know, I know.

0:39:47.360 --> 0:39:51.399
<v Speaker 1>It's been an interesting we are unfortunately, are so deep

0:39:51.440 --> 0:39:55.040
<v Speaker 1>in and we watched Australia and they reset every season.

0:39:55.080 --> 0:39:57.920
<v Speaker 1>They have a new outside, they just bring it. Every

0:39:57.960 --> 0:40:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Bachelor they bring in some new do and then then

0:40:01.040 --> 0:40:03.600
<v Speaker 1>they go through and the Bachelorette is from his you know,

0:40:03.640 --> 0:40:06.080
<v Speaker 1>and then they go through Paradise. But after Paradise they

0:40:06.080 --> 0:40:08.640
<v Speaker 1>have a reset of the franchise. And I like that

0:40:08.680 --> 0:40:11.520
<v Speaker 1>because you can kind of reset. It's almost it's not

0:40:11.520 --> 0:40:15.120
<v Speaker 1>eating its tail as much. Yeah, I mean, I would

0:40:15.160 --> 0:40:18.520
<v Speaker 1>say that the one of the glaring problems just in

0:40:18.680 --> 0:40:22.759
<v Speaker 1>terms of production with that is if you're if you're

0:40:22.800 --> 0:40:26.719
<v Speaker 1>on the Bachelorette, Like for Peter, for example, he got

0:40:27.080 --> 0:40:30.480
<v Speaker 1>two months of like learning how to do reality television,

0:40:30.880 --> 0:40:33.279
<v Speaker 1>so now he's a little more polished and some guy

0:40:33.480 --> 0:40:35.680
<v Speaker 1>just drive. That's what we were saying. There's this guy

0:40:35.760 --> 0:40:38.279
<v Speaker 1>that like watching because we started a new season, We're like, oh,

0:40:38.360 --> 0:40:41.400
<v Speaker 1>he's never seen himself on television. There's a certain beauty

0:40:41.400 --> 0:40:43.680
<v Speaker 1>to that. Were like, he doesn't know that when he talks.

0:40:43.760 --> 0:40:46.960
<v Speaker 1>He he's a handsome guy, but like Dore's like get

0:40:47.000 --> 0:40:49.480
<v Speaker 1>like he's like, there's a panicky you know, he hasn't

0:40:49.520 --> 0:40:53.400
<v Speaker 1>been put through. There's you can tell he's never seen

0:40:53.440 --> 0:40:55.760
<v Speaker 1>any of it back yet and that he would change

0:40:55.760 --> 0:40:58.720
<v Speaker 1>it if he had a chance. Again, do you watch

0:40:58.800 --> 0:41:02.640
<v Speaker 1>the Canadian version? Should I? Because I used to have

0:41:02.719 --> 0:41:04.759
<v Speaker 1>to go up to Toronto. Not have to They asked

0:41:04.760 --> 0:41:07.520
<v Speaker 1>me to come up to Toronto and like do after shows.

0:41:07.760 --> 0:41:09.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't know anything about it, like the one that

0:41:10.440 --> 0:41:12.040
<v Speaker 1>it was a couple of years ago. I guess it

0:41:12.120 --> 0:41:14.879
<v Speaker 1>was a professional baseball player who was a bachelor who

0:41:14.880 --> 0:41:18.080
<v Speaker 1>played for like when people were like bring it on.

0:41:18.800 --> 0:41:24.399
<v Speaker 1>Everyone was into it. We watched England and and it

0:41:24.560 --> 0:41:28.840
<v Speaker 1>was fascinating and at first I liked him. It was

0:41:28.840 --> 0:41:30.839
<v Speaker 1>like a dude to like a top knot and rememb

0:41:30.880 --> 0:41:32.520
<v Speaker 1>were like mm. But I was like it was like

0:41:32.560 --> 0:41:34.319
<v Speaker 1>a guy in a man bond. But then he was

0:41:34.400 --> 0:41:39.160
<v Speaker 1>so vain, he was so disgusting. I hated him. Have

0:41:39.320 --> 0:41:43.000
<v Speaker 1>you ever been with a girl? Yeah? Yeah, that's right,

0:41:43.320 --> 0:41:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Like that's right. He'd be like you're really flexible. Have

0:41:46.200 --> 0:41:48.000
<v Speaker 1>you ever just like I don't know, gotten drunk and

0:41:48.040 --> 0:41:50.960
<v Speaker 1>made love to a woman here, like you've been asking me,

0:41:51.040 --> 0:41:52.880
<v Speaker 1>like any quite like what I do for a living,

0:41:52.920 --> 0:41:55.399
<v Speaker 1>like if I have a hobby, like like any. It's

0:41:55.440 --> 0:41:58.359
<v Speaker 1>so clear what his like his little piccadillo, you know,

0:41:58.440 --> 0:42:01.040
<v Speaker 1>like what his little deviant thing I was. I was like, dude,

0:42:01.120 --> 0:42:02.960
<v Speaker 1>and he was I feel like he was wearing like

0:42:02.960 --> 0:42:06.120
<v Speaker 1>a little man like man cloth. It was not they

0:42:06.160 --> 0:42:09.400
<v Speaker 1>made him paint him like in the garden. He was

0:42:09.480 --> 0:42:12.240
<v Speaker 1>like draped with like nothing but like a little towel

0:42:12.320 --> 0:42:14.719
<v Speaker 1>on his dick and you have to like paint him

0:42:14.760 --> 0:42:17.120
<v Speaker 1>as if it was the Titanic, and like he was

0:42:17.880 --> 0:42:21.000
<v Speaker 1>he was Jack and you were like you are Rose painting.

0:42:21.000 --> 0:42:23.759
<v Speaker 1>It's like, oops, I've got to tell on my dick.

0:42:23.920 --> 0:42:26.759
<v Speaker 1>It was just like this is England, like bring me

0:42:26.840 --> 0:42:29.920
<v Speaker 1>fucking Prince Harry, Like what is happening here? Like it

0:42:30.000 --> 0:42:35.160
<v Speaker 1>wasn't good. It wasn't good of the other like franchise iterations,

0:42:35.239 --> 0:42:40.560
<v Speaker 1>what's your favorite? It's it's spectacular. The women are really

0:42:40.600 --> 0:42:43.400
<v Speaker 1>down to earth and fun and cool. Um. They remind

0:42:43.440 --> 0:42:46.040
<v Speaker 1>me a lot of like Carly, you know, they're they're

0:42:46.120 --> 0:42:52.600
<v Speaker 1>like fun, adorable, good sports. Um I it's it's nut

0:42:52.680 --> 0:42:54.560
<v Speaker 1>and I feel like they haven't quite figured out how

0:42:54.560 --> 0:42:58.520
<v Speaker 1>to do it as well. Uh what do you like Australia? Yeah,

0:42:58.719 --> 0:43:02.480
<v Speaker 1>I think so everyone's chiller. Maybe that's just the Australian vibe.

0:43:02.719 --> 0:43:05.080
<v Speaker 1>They're not as dirty as we are, Like they don't

0:43:05.080 --> 0:43:09.719
<v Speaker 1>have fantasy sweets and like I'm paradise. They were like

0:43:09.800 --> 0:43:12.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm just gonna kiss one person here and You're like wait, what,

0:43:12.880 --> 0:43:15.640
<v Speaker 1>Like what are you talking about? Like you mean the

0:43:15.640 --> 0:43:19.120
<v Speaker 1>whole time or you mean like like this hour talking

0:43:19.160 --> 0:43:23.359
<v Speaker 1>about like what? Yeah, they were very they were very

0:43:23.560 --> 0:43:26.560
<v Speaker 1>and I remember they had this hot bachelor who but

0:43:26.680 --> 0:43:29.719
<v Speaker 1>he was very sort of prudish and some girls tried

0:43:29.760 --> 0:43:32.359
<v Speaker 1>to kiss them like the cocktail party, so he sent

0:43:32.440 --> 0:43:35.560
<v Speaker 1>her home. I'm like, what is happening here? I thought

0:43:35.640 --> 0:43:38.160
<v Speaker 1>in my mind whenever I'm meeting Australia's they're just like

0:43:38.480 --> 0:43:41.239
<v Speaker 1>on a year long like they all have tickets for

0:43:41.280 --> 0:43:43.760
<v Speaker 1>a year, just flying east and they're just like ship

0:43:43.800 --> 0:43:46.200
<v Speaker 1>face going from like they're like they're like I'm a

0:43:46.239 --> 0:43:48.239
<v Speaker 1>ski lift operator. Like they just go from like sort

0:43:48.280 --> 0:43:51.080
<v Speaker 1>of part time job to part time job, partying around

0:43:51.080 --> 0:43:53.759
<v Speaker 1>the Globe for years, so I was like there, but

0:43:53.800 --> 0:43:58.040
<v Speaker 1>they're they actually, I guess like themselves more. They're not

0:43:58.120 --> 0:43:59.600
<v Speaker 1>as dirty as we are. They don't like just the

0:43:59.800 --> 0:44:01.160
<v Speaker 1>like it at it in the hot thought. How do

0:44:01.200 --> 0:44:03.040
<v Speaker 1>you watch it? I want to watch it. I'll send

0:44:03.040 --> 0:44:05.719
<v Speaker 1>you the link. There's like this, there's like this database

0:44:05.800 --> 0:44:07.960
<v Speaker 1>and you just put in any old email. You watch

0:44:08.000 --> 0:44:12.400
<v Speaker 1>it on Chrome. It's to me, the greatest season of

0:44:12.520 --> 0:44:14.960
<v Speaker 1>any of the shows ever was the season one of

0:44:14.960 --> 0:44:19.040
<v Speaker 1>Bachelor in Paradise Australia, because they didn't know how to

0:44:19.080 --> 0:44:21.640
<v Speaker 1>do it so like and it was just two years ago,

0:44:21.719 --> 0:44:23.719
<v Speaker 1>and there was three couples that came out of it

0:44:23.800 --> 0:44:26.040
<v Speaker 1>that were like Carly and Evan. There were three weird

0:44:26.239 --> 0:44:29.279
<v Speaker 1>couples that like really fell in love. Would you do

0:44:29.320 --> 0:44:31.520
<v Speaker 1>you think that was the best one we ever had? Yeah?

0:44:31.719 --> 0:44:34.320
<v Speaker 1>That was And it was long as like sixteen episodes.

0:44:34.480 --> 0:44:36.520
<v Speaker 1>It was really entertained. Is that the one that Jared

0:44:36.640 --> 0:44:39.840
<v Speaker 1>was on? Yes, yes, he had a hard time. He

0:44:39.920 --> 0:44:43.319
<v Speaker 1>had a hard time. They they I don't know why.

<v Speaker 1>it went like, I mean, how crazy. I was like

0:47:32.239 --> 0:47:35.160
<v Speaker 1>because of course, I like I wanted to follow up

0:47:35.160 --> 0:47:37.399

0:47:52.360 --> 0:47:55.440
<v Speaker 1>eating nobody's room like his friend in the stairwell. What

0:47:55.840 --> 0:47:58.359
<v Speaker 1>friend was? It was a Daniel. I don't think it

0:47:58.400 --> 0:48:00.600

0:48:00.719 --> 0:48:04.359
<v Speaker 1>was somebody in l a it was isn't that crazy? Yeah,

0:48:04.360 --> 0:48:06.600
<v Speaker 1>but it was a friend who didn't know they were together,

0:48:06.760 --> 0:48:08.879
<v Speaker 1>Like you didn't know that was Ali. I don't know.

0:48:09.920 --> 0:48:13.680
<v Speaker 1>I was just like the whole thing was like such

0:48:13.719 --> 0:48:16.920
<v Speaker 1>a it was when you start, I'm very much no spoilers,

0:48:17.080 --> 0:48:18.759
<v Speaker 1>so when I go, like, I really wait till I

0:48:18.800 --> 0:48:20.600
<v Speaker 1>don't know how it's gonna end, and so like then

0:48:20.760 --> 0:48:22.720
<v Speaker 1>when it's done, and it was such a good season

0:48:22.760 --> 0:48:25.200
<v Speaker 1>and I'm deep diving, the last thing I expected to

0:48:25.200 --> 0:48:27.799
<v Speaker 1>see was eating out and a sterile. It was just

0:48:28.320 --> 0:48:32.480
<v Speaker 1>I didn't have any breakup. That detail has never been

0:48:32.520 --> 0:48:36.000
<v Speaker 1>a detail in any breakup. It was so insane, Katie,

0:48:36.000 --> 0:48:37.600
<v Speaker 1>What do you think of all that? I think it's crazy.

0:48:37.640 --> 0:48:39.920
<v Speaker 1>I didn't watch it though it's great. You know, I

0:48:40.000 --> 0:48:42.080

<v Speaker 1>I'm just going to tell you that. I just know that,

0:48:49.880 --> 0:48:52.120

<v Speaker 1>favorite season to watch? Well, I didn't watch it until

0:49:14.880 --> 0:49:16.880
<v Speaker 1>I had skin in the game, So I didn't really

0:49:16.880 --> 0:49:21.839
<v Speaker 1>watch the show until Ben's season, and then so I

0:49:21.880 --> 0:49:25.759
<v Speaker 1>missed Caitlin's season. She was a great bachelor at there's

0:49:25.760 --> 0:49:27.680
<v Speaker 1>a long time that I said that I was. I

0:49:27.719 --> 0:49:31.319
<v Speaker 1>was from Caitlin's season because it felt like you were. Yeah,

0:49:31.360 --> 0:49:33.359
<v Speaker 1>And there was just a lot of like right after

0:49:33.360 --> 0:49:37.040
<v Speaker 1>the show, a lot of severe douchebaggery that was coming

0:49:37.080 --> 0:49:40.040
<v Speaker 1>from like the dudes from my season, where I was

0:49:40.080 --> 0:49:45.759

0:49:57.239 --> 0:50:00.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, like, you know, you get like a fifth

0:50:00.000 --> 0:50:02.680
<v Speaker 1>teammates of fame, then you go ape shit, I guess

0:50:02.719 --> 0:50:05.200
<v Speaker 1>and you start making you are eating people out in stairwells.

0:50:05.360 --> 0:50:07.040

0:50:19.120 --> 0:50:21.759
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but I'm having a good time. Here's what. Okay,

0:50:21.800 --> 0:50:24.240
<v Speaker 1>I have a question for you. I'm asking you about

0:50:24.320 --> 0:50:27.960
<v Speaker 1>So you're so your brother was the hunky model. So

0:50:28.040 --> 0:50:30.680
<v Speaker 1>did you consider yourself You're like, did you think because

0:50:30.680 --> 0:50:33.000
<v Speaker 1>you're a handsome gentleman, do you consider yourself? Like, oh,

0:50:33.080 --> 0:50:35.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm I grew up with like a nerdy, smart brother.

0:50:35.960 --> 0:50:38.080
<v Speaker 1>I can't imagine going up with like a model, Like

0:50:38.160 --> 0:50:41.719
<v Speaker 1>did it make you feel less than with him? He's

0:50:41.760 --> 0:50:43.640
<v Speaker 1>so much He's thirteen years older than me, so it

0:50:43.640 --> 0:50:46.239
<v Speaker 1>didn't really matter. It didn't I didn't really compute for me.

0:50:46.480 --> 0:50:53.840
<v Speaker 1>Another sister who was like a beauty queen as well, like, um, yeah, wet, wet,

0:50:53.960 --> 0:51:01.120
<v Speaker 1>wet for sure, of course, the beauty Queen's obviously that's yeah,

0:51:01.160 --> 0:51:06.640
<v Speaker 1>and so not really. I think my perception I had

0:51:06.680 --> 0:51:09.240
<v Speaker 1>of myself was I was the funny one of the family,

0:51:09.480 --> 0:51:11.520
<v Speaker 1>but I was also like the entertainer. I was the

0:51:11.920 --> 0:51:14.800
<v Speaker 1>baby of the family, so I was always doing wacky

0:51:14.840 --> 0:51:17.200
<v Speaker 1>things to get people to pay attention to me. Were

0:51:17.239 --> 0:51:20.840
<v Speaker 1>you popular in school? Yeah, I think so, sunny. We

0:51:20.920 --> 0:51:22.920
<v Speaker 1>just talked to Rob Benedict. He was also He was like,

0:51:22.960 --> 0:51:25.560
<v Speaker 1>I was a funny one. Did you get girls in school? Yes?

0:51:25.800 --> 0:51:31.279
<v Speaker 1>You did? Yeah? Interesting, Yeah, I I was. I don't

0:51:31.280 --> 0:51:33.160
<v Speaker 1>know how I did it. Like to this day, I

0:51:33.239 --> 0:51:36.279
<v Speaker 1>have really outkicked my coverage from the beginning. But I

0:51:36.360 --> 0:51:40.680
<v Speaker 1>dated a girl who was a year older than me,

0:51:41.600 --> 0:51:44.240
<v Speaker 1>and she was like known as the hottest girl in school.

0:51:44.440 --> 0:51:47.480
<v Speaker 1>And were you in so I was a junior and

0:51:47.520 --> 0:51:50.680
<v Speaker 1>she was a senior. Okay, that's like the prime time too.

0:51:50.920 --> 0:51:54.960
<v Speaker 1>And then she went to college and we stayed together.

0:51:55.400 --> 0:51:57.560
<v Speaker 1>I can't believe, I mean, God bless her, but like

0:51:58.200 --> 0:52:01.359
<v Speaker 1>and so, and she was hot this where she went

0:52:01.400 --> 0:52:04.080
<v Speaker 1>to college, and I was coming to like date parties

0:52:04.160 --> 0:52:06.520
<v Speaker 1>as a senior in high school, which I'm sure it

0:52:06.600 --> 0:52:10.279
<v Speaker 1>was so embarrassing. Yes, yeah, yeah, but you did it.

0:52:10.480 --> 0:52:13.600
<v Speaker 1>I did it, interest killed it so funny, like both

0:52:13.719 --> 0:52:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Rob and Wells, because in my mind, I feel like

0:52:16.960 --> 0:52:18.799
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the people that I'm friends with him,

0:52:18.800 --> 0:52:22.319
<v Speaker 1>that I enjoy, were later bloomers, but you stayed a

0:52:22.400 --> 0:52:25.120
<v Speaker 1>nice personage because and you have a personal in my mind,

0:52:25.280 --> 0:52:29.799
<v Speaker 1>the blooming early like like I don't know, I guess,

0:52:29.800 --> 0:52:31.879
<v Speaker 1>I I guess I think I knew people, but maybe

0:52:31.920 --> 0:52:34.359
<v Speaker 1>the guys I know, we're funny and they got like

0:52:34.400 --> 0:52:36.760
<v Speaker 1>and they got the ladies. In high school, I would

0:52:36.800 --> 0:52:40.160
<v Speaker 1>say that I only have been successful with females because

0:52:40.239 --> 0:52:45.440
<v Speaker 1>my personality I had nothing else to do with. I

0:52:45.440 --> 0:52:47.360
<v Speaker 1>went through a pretty big fat stage. People don't know

0:52:47.360 --> 0:52:50.600
<v Speaker 1>about that. How fat I had a fat stage. So

0:52:50.719 --> 0:52:54.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm like one sixty right now. So I played I

0:52:54.400 --> 0:52:56.319
<v Speaker 1>played rugby in college. I was like beefed up and

0:52:56.360 --> 0:52:59.160
<v Speaker 1>like I'm like kind of big and um, and I

0:52:59.200 --> 0:53:02.000
<v Speaker 1>was around like one seventy five at that point one

0:53:02.080 --> 0:53:05.319
<v Speaker 1>eight and then I got really hurt. I broke my leg.

0:53:05.560 --> 0:53:07.839
<v Speaker 1>I had a bunch of surgeries. I ate ice cream.

0:53:07.880 --> 0:53:10.600
<v Speaker 1>I was very depressed, and I got like one eight

0:53:10.960 --> 0:53:15.640
<v Speaker 1>five this frame there so and this is when I

0:53:15.680 --> 0:53:17.799
<v Speaker 1>just first moved to Nashville, and I was living with

0:53:17.840 --> 0:53:20.840
<v Speaker 1>my best friend's sister who was at Vanderbilt, and I

0:53:20.920 --> 0:53:23.239
<v Speaker 1>live with two girls and all their story sisters come

<v Speaker 1>I found my friend Cheryl, to my best friend, I

0:54:02.320 --> 0:54:04.360
<v Speaker 1>didn't look at it, and she went and looked at it.

0:54:04.360 --> 0:54:06.840
<v Speaker 1>I should have looked at No. I went to c

0:54:21.800 --> 0:54:24.720
<v Speaker 1>just tew like like there was a guy that lived

0:54:24.800 --> 0:54:26.480

<v Speaker 1>why I don't. I should have done my research. And

0:54:52.320 --> 0:54:55.400
<v Speaker 1>like I tried to drop out and then but my

0:54:55.440 --> 0:54:58.400
<v Speaker 1>mom had already paid for my tuition and they and

0:54:58.600 --> 0:55:01.359
<v Speaker 1>so I just made But I just got. I just got.

0:55:01.800 --> 0:55:06.400
<v Speaker 1>I just started eating ice ice cream and then um.

0:55:06.440 --> 0:55:08.920
<v Speaker 1>And then I went to Chicago when I was nineteen.

0:55:08.960 --> 0:55:10.840
<v Speaker 1>I started doing improv there, like I had like I

0:55:10.880 --> 0:55:12.879
<v Speaker 1>found like an arts program there and it was like

0:55:13.080 --> 0:55:14.480
<v Speaker 1>I had a fake I d and it was like

0:55:14.560 --> 0:55:17.239
<v Speaker 1>alcohol and like late night burritos and it was all

0:55:17.280 --> 0:55:20.399
<v Speaker 1>these gigantic comedy guys like Adam McKay and like all

0:55:20.400 --> 0:55:22.520
<v Speaker 1>these and they're like six six and so I would

0:55:22.560 --> 0:55:23.920
<v Speaker 1>just try to keep up with them, and I just

0:55:23.960 --> 0:55:27.320
<v Speaker 1>got fatter and fatter. In Chicago, nobody cares because it

0:55:27.440 --> 0:55:31.000
<v Speaker 1>was like, yeah, then there's no women. But then I

0:55:31.040 --> 0:55:33.719
<v Speaker 1>wasn't in Chicago. And then when people know you, you're

0:55:33.760 --> 0:55:36.320
<v Speaker 1>like the little dumpling and it was hard. Were you

0:55:36.680 --> 0:55:40.399
<v Speaker 1>Second City? I did improv Olympic, but it's where they

0:55:40.400 --> 0:55:45.000
<v Speaker 1>all were before, um before they go to Second City,

0:55:45.120 --> 0:55:46.880
<v Speaker 1>but it was like all the UCB founders where there.

0:55:46.880 --> 0:55:49.240
<v Speaker 1>It's like where everybody kind of started. This guy Dull Close.

0:55:49.320 --> 0:55:51.080
<v Speaker 1>So I was nine. It was awesome, but it was

0:55:51.160 --> 0:55:54.319
<v Speaker 1>like it's weird when you're like, oh, my body has

0:55:54.480 --> 0:55:57.840
<v Speaker 1>betrayed me, and now people know me. I'm like the

0:55:57.880 --> 0:56:03.839
<v Speaker 1>curvy friend. Uh. And I remember before I graduated, I

0:56:03.880 --> 0:56:08.040
<v Speaker 1>was like I'm going to lose this. So nobody in

0:56:08.239 --> 0:56:10.920
<v Speaker 1>l A ever tells me to lose weight. I was like,

0:56:10.960 --> 0:56:12.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm just going to jog. So no. Dick was like,

0:56:13.120 --> 0:56:15.319
<v Speaker 1>we can't think it wasn't an option then, like at

0:56:15.360 --> 0:56:18.440
<v Speaker 1>that point in time, everybody was like so skinny. I

0:56:18.440 --> 0:56:19.799
<v Speaker 1>was like I just have to I have to get

0:56:19.840 --> 0:56:23.440
<v Speaker 1>this done. I feel like everyone should have a fat stage,

0:56:24.160 --> 0:56:27.799
<v Speaker 1>and everyone should have like a waiting tables phase, which

0:56:27.920 --> 0:56:33.640
<v Speaker 1>usually intertwined with one another. Late night, you're smoking, you're drinking.

0:56:35.000 --> 0:56:37.440
<v Speaker 1>You might be like making out with one of your coworkers.

0:56:37.480 --> 0:56:40.440
<v Speaker 1>You're making weird decisions. You're like dry humping on like

0:56:40.520 --> 0:56:43.400
<v Speaker 1>a like like by the by the like ice box.

0:56:44.320 --> 0:56:46.919
<v Speaker 1>I was a waitress. I was a bad waitress. When

0:56:46.920 --> 0:56:49.240
<v Speaker 1>did you wait tables? When I was in that well

0:56:49.640 --> 0:56:52.600
<v Speaker 1>in college and when I was out of college and

0:56:53.640 --> 0:56:56.480
<v Speaker 1>I was I was. I was a good waiter in

0:56:56.600 --> 0:56:59.799
<v Speaker 1>terms of like talking to my tables and like making

0:56:59.800 --> 0:57:01.200
<v Speaker 1>every one I feel like they're having a good time.

0:57:01.440 --> 0:57:03.960
<v Speaker 1>But I was a horrible waiter with learning the menu.

0:57:04.120 --> 0:57:06.719
<v Speaker 1>It's hard. Never learned the menu. It's made. Shut up,

0:57:06.760 --> 0:57:09.600
<v Speaker 1>it's hard. Yeah. What kind of a restaurant was it?

0:57:09.600 --> 0:57:11.920
<v Speaker 1>It was called brick Tops. It was like an iteration

0:57:12.000 --> 0:57:16.120
<v Speaker 1>of Houston's I love the restaurant was good by the

0:57:16.280 --> 0:57:19.720
<v Speaker 1>I love a chain restaurant, and I there was in Dallas.

0:57:19.880 --> 0:57:21.960
<v Speaker 1>I was working in Dallas, and I ate every meal

0:57:22.000 --> 0:57:25.320
<v Speaker 1>at a offshoot of Houston. Yea, I will do any

0:57:25.400 --> 0:57:28.160
<v Speaker 1>chain restaurant. It's so funny too, because the last time

0:57:28.160 --> 0:57:32.400
<v Speaker 1>I was on your show you had Rob on and

0:57:32.440 --> 0:57:35.000
<v Speaker 1>I was like, it looks so fucking familiar. And we

0:57:35.120 --> 0:57:38.320
<v Speaker 1>used to watch Waiting when we were waiting tables. Oh

0:57:38.360 --> 0:57:41.360
<v Speaker 1>my god, and he was on that isn't he isn't Heah,

0:57:41.680 --> 0:57:43.920
<v Speaker 1>he's the guy who can't peet. And it's so like

0:57:43.920 --> 0:57:46.120
<v Speaker 1>when we when we waited tables, we watched that show

0:57:46.320 --> 0:57:49.000
<v Speaker 1>or watch that movie at least once a week because

0:57:49.040 --> 0:57:55.160
<v Speaker 1>it was like our citizen kid. Yes, And then it

0:57:55.280 --> 0:57:57.040
<v Speaker 1>was just so I love that I brought you Waiting

0:57:57.080 --> 0:58:01.120
<v Speaker 1>and bad. Yeah, I know exactly. My two know you haven't.

0:58:01.200 --> 0:58:02.480
<v Speaker 1>I just want to and I don't mean to get

0:58:02.520 --> 0:58:05.920
<v Speaker 1>too real here, but you have been strangely around or

0:58:06.040 --> 0:58:10.080
<v Speaker 1>near me at very weird moments in my life. I mean,

0:58:10.240 --> 0:58:14.080
<v Speaker 1>like I did that Outside Lands show with you two

0:58:14.080 --> 0:58:16.280
<v Speaker 1>weeks after my dad died, and then like you were

0:58:16.320 --> 0:58:19.600
<v Speaker 1>booked to do my show this last March, and then

0:58:19.600 --> 0:58:22.880
<v Speaker 1>it's like, hey, guys, like and then my mom died

0:58:23.080 --> 0:58:25.600
<v Speaker 1>and like but you still you still did it. Well.

0:58:25.640 --> 0:58:27.880
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't gonna pile on and be like no, can't

0:58:27.920 --> 0:58:31.439
<v Speaker 1>you were you freaked out? No, it's feel I feel

0:58:31.480 --> 0:58:33.760
<v Speaker 1>horrible for you. It was hard. It is horrible I

0:58:33.760 --> 0:58:37.120
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't recommend it. It's horrible. Yeah, it's horrible. I'm just

0:58:37.200 --> 0:58:41.440
<v Speaker 1>amazed because you're such like a positive energy. Yeah. I

0:58:41.440 --> 0:58:43.480
<v Speaker 1>don't know if that happened to me, I think i'd

0:58:43.480 --> 0:58:47.479
<v Speaker 1>have been like podcast canceled day, I gotta go walk

0:58:47.520 --> 0:58:49.840
<v Speaker 1>around a lake or something. I mean, it was a

0:58:49.880 --> 0:58:53.120
<v Speaker 1>weird thing because like when my dad died, we had

0:58:53.440 --> 0:58:55.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, we knew it was going to happen at

0:58:55.400 --> 0:59:00.280
<v Speaker 1>some point soon, and um, it's weird, and I time

0:59:00.400 --> 0:59:04.960
<v Speaker 1>it was okay. The book deal literally closed the day

0:59:04.960 --> 0:59:06.680
<v Speaker 1>of her funeral, Like so I've been like trying to

0:59:06.680 --> 0:59:08.600
<v Speaker 1>sell the thing for years and I get this email

0:59:08.720 --> 0:59:10.880
<v Speaker 1>like going to the funeral. It's like I hope you're

0:59:10.920 --> 0:59:13.439
<v Speaker 1>having a great week, Like we're excited to do this book.

0:59:13.480 --> 0:59:16.680
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, hey, like there's a might be a

0:59:16.720 --> 0:59:18.560
<v Speaker 1>little it's like it might be a little different. Now

0:59:18.600 --> 0:59:21.240
<v Speaker 1>there's been like a weird event. But like writing it,

0:59:21.360 --> 0:59:26.880
<v Speaker 1>I realized the podcast like has it's so strange. But

0:59:26.960 --> 0:59:30.240
<v Speaker 1>I had never been that personal in my stand up.

0:59:30.360 --> 0:59:35.240
<v Speaker 1>And my dad died on a sun Saturday or Sunday

0:59:35.320 --> 0:59:39.400
<v Speaker 1>during Paradise, and I remember I had to fly home

0:59:39.760 --> 0:59:42.400
<v Speaker 1>and like and I made the decision, and like, because

0:59:42.480 --> 0:59:44.760
<v Speaker 1>my mom like doing the podcast, my brother enjoyed, I

0:59:44.800 --> 0:59:47.920
<v Speaker 1>was like, let's just do it. And we did it

0:59:47.960 --> 0:59:50.080
<v Speaker 1>from the den, and like I remember, there was no

0:59:50.160 --> 0:59:52.440
<v Speaker 1>hiding that where you were there, and I was curious

0:59:52.440 --> 0:59:54.960
<v Speaker 1>if it was going to like freak people out. And

0:59:54.960 --> 0:59:58.440
<v Speaker 1>then people started this emailing in and then and then

0:59:58.480 --> 1:00:00.920
<v Speaker 1>we had the live show and I'm remember Heightener of

1:00:00.960 --> 1:00:03.360
<v Speaker 1>course made like the worst joke from the stage and

1:00:03.400 --> 1:00:05.200
<v Speaker 1>like he freaked out the audience at first. But I

1:00:05.200 --> 1:00:07.560
<v Speaker 1>remember deciding, like one of the gifts of grief is

1:00:07.600 --> 1:00:11.040
<v Speaker 1>like I think your body very much. I find I

1:00:11.120 --> 1:00:12.800
<v Speaker 1>know exactly who I want to see and who I

1:00:12.800 --> 1:00:14.080
<v Speaker 1>don't want to see, and what I want to do

1:00:14.080 --> 1:00:16.920
<v Speaker 1>and what It's so clear I can't fake it. And

1:00:16.960 --> 1:00:18.520
<v Speaker 1>so I was like, no, I want to go do that.

1:00:18.680 --> 1:00:22.760
<v Speaker 1>And like the audience was so sweet and so um

1:00:22.840 --> 1:00:25.840
<v Speaker 1>and just the response of people because like everybody has ship,

1:00:26.480 --> 1:00:28.880
<v Speaker 1>so it's been interesting. And then when it happened again,

1:00:29.160 --> 1:00:33.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, I guess, I guess we do it, And

1:00:33.120 --> 1:00:35.840
<v Speaker 1>in a in a weird way, it helped provide like

1:00:36.000 --> 1:00:38.560
<v Speaker 1>normalcy for me and my brother and I watched the

1:00:38.560 --> 1:00:41.560
<v Speaker 1>show together and we took notes together, we did it

1:00:41.560 --> 1:00:47.680
<v Speaker 1>in the done, and um, it actually like it's I

1:00:47.800 --> 1:00:50.280
<v Speaker 1>never in a million years what I have thought the

1:00:50.320 --> 1:00:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Bachelor And in a weird way, like this podcast, I

1:00:54.040 --> 1:00:57.400
<v Speaker 1>think I built my own life raft. It's because it

1:00:57.480 --> 1:01:00.800
<v Speaker 1>keeps you connected to people and something to focus because

1:01:00.840 --> 1:01:03.040
<v Speaker 1>you have a lifetime of unpacking that, but it's like

1:01:03.280 --> 1:01:05.240
<v Speaker 1>something to do in the moment that kind of reminds

1:01:05.280 --> 1:01:07.520
<v Speaker 1>you who you are. I know. I mean, I think

1:01:07.760 --> 1:01:09.600
<v Speaker 1>I've been trying to figure out this whole thing for

1:01:09.640 --> 1:01:12.640
<v Speaker 1>a while. And social media can be a horrible place

1:01:12.680 --> 1:01:15.520
<v Speaker 1>but can also be like a wonderful place. And saying

1:01:15.520 --> 1:01:19.280
<v Speaker 1>with podcast, I think they're similar. There's different mediums, um,

1:01:19.320 --> 1:01:22.160
<v Speaker 1>but like if if done well and done right, really

1:01:22.320 --> 1:01:24.439
<v Speaker 1>all they are is like a window into your life.

1:01:24.440 --> 1:01:28.240
<v Speaker 1>And then and then you can have people relate to you,

1:01:28.520 --> 1:01:32.680
<v Speaker 1>and everyone just wants the people to understand you, you know,

1:01:32.760 --> 1:01:35.280
<v Speaker 1>like and so when like things like that happened with

1:01:35.320 --> 1:01:37.360
<v Speaker 1>the podcast or even like on social media, and then

1:01:37.400 --> 1:01:39.400
<v Speaker 1>you see like an influx of people being like, I

1:01:39.440 --> 1:01:42.560
<v Speaker 1>totally relate to what what you're going through. It's a weird,

1:01:42.840 --> 1:01:46.240
<v Speaker 1>weirdly comforting thing with all like the negatives that there

1:01:46.280 --> 1:01:48.840
<v Speaker 1>are on social media and on the internet. Like I

1:01:48.840 --> 1:01:51.160
<v Speaker 1>think those like the two really good things that come

1:01:51.160 --> 1:01:53.720
<v Speaker 1>out of it. You know, I agree, it's a it's

1:01:53.720 --> 1:01:58.240
<v Speaker 1>a weird. Um it's a weird thing to also, like

1:01:58.320 --> 1:02:02.160
<v Speaker 1>I remember even debating, like oh do we for both

1:02:02.160 --> 1:02:04.400
<v Speaker 1>of them. We sort of waited like two days to like, okay,

1:02:04.480 --> 1:02:05.880
<v Speaker 1>this is wait a couple of days and then we

1:02:05.920 --> 1:02:08.760
<v Speaker 1>put like a we did a thing on like Facebook

1:02:08.840 --> 1:02:10.920
<v Speaker 1>or like and just so people who knew. But it's

1:02:11.360 --> 1:02:14.800
<v Speaker 1>it's an interesting thing when your life turns upside down

1:02:14.840 --> 1:02:17.520
<v Speaker 1>and like you kind of can't hide it, and like

1:02:18.080 --> 1:02:23.560
<v Speaker 1>there's a way of um, I don't know, I guess

1:02:23.600 --> 1:02:26.040
<v Speaker 1>what I would say, like and I do talk about

1:02:26.080 --> 1:02:27.920
<v Speaker 1>this and like the thing like that you can have

1:02:28.000 --> 1:02:32.680
<v Speaker 1>your worst thing happen and still like still be yourself. Yeah.

1:02:33.440 --> 1:02:36.040
<v Speaker 1>It also makes it so you can't like do the

1:02:36.080 --> 1:02:38.240
<v Speaker 1>thing that you probably shouldn't do, which is like push

1:02:38.320 --> 1:02:41.520
<v Speaker 1>that emotion down and like not think about and talk

1:02:41.560 --> 1:02:43.440
<v Speaker 1>about it. If you've got to go on air or whatever,

1:02:43.920 --> 1:02:47.160
<v Speaker 1>then you have to acknowledge acknowledge it, and then it's

1:02:47.400 --> 1:02:51.280
<v Speaker 1>it's probably some sort of like nice Kobe mechanism and

1:02:51.320 --> 1:02:53.400
<v Speaker 1>makes you have to face it, you know. Yeah, I know.

1:02:53.440 --> 1:02:55.280
<v Speaker 1>I remember thinking like, Okay, in a year, I can

1:02:55.280 --> 1:02:57.760
<v Speaker 1>either be sad or I can be sad, fat and broke.

1:02:57.840 --> 1:02:59.320
<v Speaker 1>I was like I just want to be sad, you

1:02:59.320 --> 1:03:00.760
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean. And it's like okay, let's just

1:03:00.800 --> 1:03:03.320
<v Speaker 1>deal with this and like not like not sink the

1:03:03.800 --> 1:03:07.480
<v Speaker 1>not sink the whole ship. Um you when did you

1:03:07.520 --> 1:03:12.040
<v Speaker 1>move here? I moved here like a year and a

1:03:12.080 --> 1:03:15.920
<v Speaker 1>half ago, and um, did you move right? Did you

1:03:16.000 --> 1:03:18.280
<v Speaker 1>move you? And you and Sarah Highland are getting married?

1:03:18.440 --> 1:03:20.680
<v Speaker 1>We are, Yeah, we're getting we're engaged. When did you

1:03:20.720 --> 1:03:23.120
<v Speaker 1>get Did you guys live together right away? Yeah? It

1:03:23.240 --> 1:03:26.320
<v Speaker 1>was an interesting thing because I was going to move

1:03:26.360 --> 1:03:29.760
<v Speaker 1>out here. My contract with my heart had ended, like

1:03:29.880 --> 1:03:31.320
<v Speaker 1>there was just not much for me to do out

1:03:31.320 --> 1:03:34.200
<v Speaker 1>in Nashville. I had made like a deal with myself

1:03:34.200 --> 1:03:36.240
<v Speaker 1>that's been ten years there and if I wasn't married

1:03:36.320 --> 1:03:39.200
<v Speaker 1>with kids, I would go experience something new I didn't

1:03:39.360 --> 1:03:41.160
<v Speaker 1>did eleven years. So it was like I gotta go.

1:03:41.200 --> 1:03:44.120
<v Speaker 1>I want to go to l A And um. I

1:03:44.160 --> 1:03:46.480
<v Speaker 1>remember having the conversation because my brother going back to

1:03:46.560 --> 1:03:50.480
<v Speaker 1>him is a property manager, so he knows where a

1:03:50.480 --> 1:03:52.680
<v Speaker 1>bunch of apartments were and I was like, um, so

1:03:52.720 --> 1:03:54.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking for and I remember having a conversation with

1:03:54.600 --> 1:03:57.560
<v Speaker 1>Sarah being like, Okay, so I want to find something

1:03:57.680 --> 1:04:00.480
<v Speaker 1>kind of close to you, and you know when I

1:04:00.640 --> 1:04:03.040
<v Speaker 1>need a backyard for the dog and YadA, YadA, YadA.

1:04:03.040 --> 1:04:06.960
<v Speaker 1>And I remember her being like a little offended that

1:04:07.520 --> 1:04:09.400
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't like, why don't you just move in with me?

1:04:10.000 --> 1:04:12.720
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh, I don't want to. I don't

1:04:12.760 --> 1:04:15.920
<v Speaker 1>want to assume that I'm going to live with you.

1:04:16.200 --> 1:04:18.360
<v Speaker 1>And now she was like, no, that's so weird. Just

1:04:18.880 --> 1:04:21.080
<v Speaker 1>why wouldn't you move in with me? And so that's

1:04:21.120 --> 1:04:22.680
<v Speaker 1>how that happened. And that was just very nice and

1:04:22.760 --> 1:04:25.680
<v Speaker 1>I didn't have to worry about getting anything. And then

1:04:26.240 --> 1:04:29.200
<v Speaker 1>how was the transition out here super easy? Because I'm

1:04:29.200 --> 1:04:32.960
<v Speaker 1>from California? California, Yeah, so I can always drive up

1:04:32.960 --> 1:04:34.440
<v Speaker 1>and see my parents, which of course I never do.

1:04:34.480 --> 1:04:43.800
<v Speaker 1>But from northern California girls, Yeah, where are you guys from? Yeah? Francisco, Montere. Yeah,

1:04:44.480 --> 1:04:46.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know if you consider that Bay area,

1:04:46.480 --> 1:04:49.920
<v Speaker 1>I consider like central that's where the seals are, yeah,

1:04:50.600 --> 1:04:53.080
<v Speaker 1>and the Otters and the Otters, the Otters, the Otters,

1:04:54.240 --> 1:04:56.920
<v Speaker 1>So it wasn't a bad weird transition for me. It

1:04:56.960 --> 1:04:59.640
<v Speaker 1>was actually quite nice. Yeah. Good And are you how

1:04:59.680 --> 1:05:03.040
<v Speaker 1>did you where did you get engaged in Fiji? Was

1:05:03.080 --> 1:05:05.960
<v Speaker 1>it beautiful there? Yeah? It was really amazing. It was

1:05:06.040 --> 1:05:09.960
<v Speaker 1>just this is a lot of it's it's stressful to

1:05:10.000 --> 1:05:12.360
<v Speaker 1>get engaged, like to do it, to like execute it

1:05:12.400 --> 1:05:15.120
<v Speaker 1>and do it well. And for me, it was tough

1:05:15.120 --> 1:05:18.240
<v Speaker 1>because I was filming in Paradise for the month before,

1:05:18.280 --> 1:05:21.360
<v Speaker 1>like we were supposed to wrap on like June twenty nine,

1:05:21.440 --> 1:05:24.040
<v Speaker 1>and we were supposed to leave for Fiji on July third,

1:05:24.560 --> 1:05:28.000
<v Speaker 1>so like I literally was coming home, not unpacking because

1:05:28.040 --> 1:05:30.720
<v Speaker 1>it was just beach where anyways, and then going there.

1:05:31.040 --> 1:05:33.040
<v Speaker 1>But I had to get the ring and so like,

1:05:33.680 --> 1:05:35.000
<v Speaker 1>and I was in Mexico, so I had to get

1:05:35.000 --> 1:05:37.400
<v Speaker 1>the ring before I get all that stuff done before

1:05:37.400 --> 1:05:39.400
<v Speaker 1>I left for Mexico. So I was like, did you

1:05:39.400 --> 1:05:42.440
<v Speaker 1>bring it to Mexico. No. I had the window of

1:05:42.480 --> 1:05:45.240
<v Speaker 1>three days to get the ring once I got back

1:05:45.280 --> 1:05:47.520
<v Speaker 1>from Mexico before I went to Fiji, and there was

1:05:47.560 --> 1:05:50.360
<v Speaker 1>like a stress with that and it didn't get almost

1:05:50.400 --> 1:05:52.960
<v Speaker 1>didn't get here in time. I know guys say that

1:05:53.000 --> 1:05:55.320
<v Speaker 1>once they have the ring in their pockets, like burning

1:05:55.320 --> 1:05:57.040
<v Speaker 1>a hole in their pocket, like all they can think, like,

1:05:58.120 --> 1:06:01.160
<v Speaker 1>you gotta get rid of it. How so that's a

1:06:01.200 --> 1:06:03.560
<v Speaker 1>long flight too. Did you act weird? Do you think

1:06:03.600 --> 1:06:05.280
<v Speaker 1>leading up to it? Did you act it? Were you

1:06:05.280 --> 1:06:07.919
<v Speaker 1>were like smooth leading up to it? Or I think

1:06:07.960 --> 1:06:09.960
<v Speaker 1>I was pretty cool. I I think I blew my

1:06:10.040 --> 1:06:12.960
<v Speaker 1>cover like the day of for sure, But we I

1:06:13.000 --> 1:06:15.120
<v Speaker 1>put it in my I've told the story before I

1:06:15.160 --> 1:06:18.720
<v Speaker 1>put the ring in my I brought my drone. Yeah

1:06:18.800 --> 1:06:20.880
<v Speaker 1>you did, and because my thought was I'll have the

1:06:20.960 --> 1:06:25.160
<v Speaker 1>drone hovering and it'll videotape me getting down on a

1:06:25.200 --> 1:06:29.160
<v Speaker 1>knee and which did I use that footage like on Instagram? Um?

1:06:29.280 --> 1:06:32.200
<v Speaker 1>But I had the ring in the drone case and

1:06:32.280 --> 1:06:34.120
<v Speaker 1>when I didn't know this, but when you go to

1:06:34.160 --> 1:06:36.880
<v Speaker 1>a different country and you bring a drone into the country,

1:06:37.320 --> 1:06:39.920
<v Speaker 1>they have to inspect it and they have to and

1:06:39.960 --> 1:06:42.919
<v Speaker 1>you have to like fill out paperwork. Was you there?

1:06:43.280 --> 1:06:46.280
<v Speaker 1>So we're in customs and Fiji and the guys like

1:06:46.400 --> 1:06:48.520
<v Speaker 1>is this a drone? I was like, yeah, it's a drone.

1:06:48.880 --> 1:06:51.720
<v Speaker 1>We have to inspect this. And then so then I

1:06:51.840 --> 1:06:54.880
<v Speaker 1>say to him, Okay, hold on, can we go can

1:06:54.920 --> 1:06:57.560
<v Speaker 1>we do this? In a different room, which I'm sure

1:06:57.680 --> 1:07:02.520
<v Speaker 1>is not what any t s a I want to hear. Yeah, yeah,

1:07:02.640 --> 1:07:06.120
<v Speaker 1>we have to go to a different room. So I

1:07:06.200 --> 1:07:08.120
<v Speaker 1>take we go into the room and I'm like, hey, man,

1:07:08.440 --> 1:07:10.600
<v Speaker 1>all cool, you can look at this. The engagement rings

1:07:10.600 --> 1:07:12.080
<v Speaker 1>in there, and I don't. I didn't want them to

1:07:12.080 --> 1:07:13.480
<v Speaker 1>open it. And then she was going to see the

1:07:13.480 --> 1:07:16.600
<v Speaker 1>box and over. Yeah. It was stressful, and it's also

1:07:16.640 --> 1:07:19.800
<v Speaker 1>burning a hole in your pocket because men, for the

1:07:19.800 --> 1:07:25.840
<v Speaker 1>most part, never have anything that expensive in their person ever,

1:07:26.520 --> 1:07:29.680
<v Speaker 1>and it and we're like, men are so stupid that

1:07:29.760 --> 1:07:33.520
<v Speaker 1>you of course I'm gonna lose this. I lose my

1:07:33.520 --> 1:07:36.720
<v Speaker 1>phone every thirty seconds, Like I'm gonna lose this very

1:07:36.840 --> 1:07:39.360
<v Speaker 1>endsive rings. So it's like I gotta I have to

1:07:39.400 --> 1:07:42.880
<v Speaker 1>give it to you so you can suck it up. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

1:07:42.920 --> 1:07:45.240
<v Speaker 1>yeah yeah, And that was my thought. I remember, And

1:07:45.280 --> 1:07:50.280
<v Speaker 1>I kept on putting the drone h in the safe

1:07:50.640 --> 1:07:55.560
<v Speaker 1>and she's like, what did you give this seven drone

1:07:55.600 --> 1:07:57.800
<v Speaker 1>to dip ship And I was like, no, I got

1:07:58.120 --> 1:08:01.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't trust depleting crew here. That my drne everyone's

1:08:01.160 --> 1:08:08.360
<v Speaker 1>my rope, my drone. Yeah, and then so uh yeah,

1:08:08.360 --> 1:08:10.680
<v Speaker 1>then when when it when it came down to it.

1:08:11.320 --> 1:08:15.600
<v Speaker 1>She was putting a lot. She knew his comings, and

1:08:15.600 --> 1:08:17.320
<v Speaker 1>she was putting a lot of makeup. And I was like,

1:08:17.600 --> 1:08:19.599
<v Speaker 1>why are you get so dressed up? There's a picnic?

1:08:20.280 --> 1:08:24.080
<v Speaker 1>And because we're going? Yeah. So then then I pulled

1:08:24.120 --> 1:08:27.960
<v Speaker 1>a little, you know, because I can act to. I

1:08:27.960 --> 1:08:30.240
<v Speaker 1>put on a T shirt and bathing trunks or like

1:08:30.280 --> 1:08:32.280
<v Speaker 1>a tank top, and I was like, what do you think?

1:08:32.320 --> 1:08:34.800
<v Speaker 1>Is this good? And she goes, I don't know, is it?

1:08:35.560 --> 1:08:38.920
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, so that, I put on a

1:08:38.960 --> 1:08:41.479
<v Speaker 1>collar shirt and then we went and then when are

1:08:41.360 --> 1:08:43.760
<v Speaker 1>you getting married? Is it secret? Oh? We just don't

1:08:43.760 --> 1:08:46.960
<v Speaker 1>know yet. We haven't really started doing that yet. I

1:08:47.000 --> 1:08:52.920
<v Speaker 1>think when I think, well, congratulations, that's exciting. Do you

1:08:52.920 --> 1:08:55.439

<v Speaker 1>you what did your dad think of Zack? Do you

1:09:09.960 --> 1:09:12.519

<v Speaker 1>Have you heard it? No, it's so funny. He's like,

1:09:26.600 --> 1:09:29.080
<v Speaker 1>the concept of it just ridiculous. I'm gonna butcher because

1:09:29.640 --> 1:09:32.240
<v Speaker 1>but he's like, the concept of it is ridiculous. You know,

1:09:32.439 --> 1:09:35.639
<v Speaker 1>you say, hey, put this thing on your finger to prove,

1:09:36.160 --> 1:09:39.040
<v Speaker 1>to show everyone that your mind, you can't back out,

1:09:39.560 --> 1:09:42.040
<v Speaker 1>and then sign this piece of paper that that shows

1:09:42.040 --> 1:09:44.519
<v Speaker 1>that we're going to be together forever until we die.

1:09:45.080 --> 1:09:48.200
<v Speaker 1>And then she then he goes like, why are we

1:09:48.240 --> 1:09:54.320
<v Speaker 1>doing this tax reasons? It's so crazy? It is so weird.

1:09:54.600 --> 1:09:58.160
<v Speaker 1>Are your parents still married? They're split up? Did they

1:09:58.200 --> 1:10:01.599
<v Speaker 1>split up? Like right when I was in high school

1:10:02.040 --> 1:10:05.479
<v Speaker 1>the middle of me going through high school? Yeah? Was

1:10:05.520 --> 1:10:09.160
<v Speaker 1>it out of the blue? Uh? Kind of? I just

1:10:09.240 --> 1:10:11.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I was being super perceptive of

1:10:11.960 --> 1:10:14.200
<v Speaker 1>the whole thing, but it was tough. I was the

1:10:14.240 --> 1:10:17.160
<v Speaker 1>only one left in the house, so I was having

1:10:17.200 --> 1:10:19.880
<v Speaker 1>to deal with the fighting and all that kind of

1:10:19.920 --> 1:10:23.400
<v Speaker 1>stuff from you know, I was choosing sides, which is

1:10:23.439 --> 1:10:27.080
<v Speaker 1>tough to do. And um, you know, I think everything

1:10:27.080 --> 1:10:30.000
<v Speaker 1>worked out the way it was supposed to. But her

1:10:30.040 --> 1:10:31.760
<v Speaker 1>parents are still together, so that's nice. And we just

1:10:31.800 --> 1:10:36.320
<v Speaker 1>had the meeting of the parents, which was interesting. It

1:10:36.360 --> 1:10:42.880
<v Speaker 1>went really well. You know, she's her family's all actors.

1:10:42.920 --> 1:10:48.880
<v Speaker 1>They're all like Broadway liberal, you know, New Yorkers, and um,

1:10:48.920 --> 1:10:52.360
<v Speaker 1>my parents are from Carmel, California. My dad's a doctor,

1:10:53.360 --> 1:10:57.720
<v Speaker 1>a conservative, you know, like okay, okay, so it's just

1:10:57.800 --> 1:11:01.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot of money there, and you know, so, um,

1:11:01.640 --> 1:11:06.320
<v Speaker 1>we were just very nervous, like and then there's impeachment

1:11:06.360 --> 1:11:08.479
<v Speaker 1>proceedings going on, like like waiting for some of the

1:11:08.520 --> 1:11:13.000
<v Speaker 1>same I know, the politics stuff. Stuff is tough. It's tough. Um,

1:11:13.040 --> 1:11:15.760
<v Speaker 1>So we were nervous about that and it ended up

1:11:16.560 --> 1:11:19.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think you never give like your family

1:11:19.200 --> 1:11:21.280
<v Speaker 1>as much credit as they deserve. And of course they

1:11:21.280 --> 1:11:22.960
<v Speaker 1>were going to be fine, but we were stressing about

1:11:22.960 --> 1:11:24.559
<v Speaker 1>things that we probably didn't need to stress about. And

1:11:24.600 --> 1:11:28.400
<v Speaker 1>everyone was lovely and it went wonderfully. And my dad

1:11:28.439 --> 1:11:33.439
<v Speaker 1>and her dad like texting now, and my mom and

1:11:33.439 --> 1:11:34.880
<v Speaker 1>her mom my friends on Facebook, and I saw that

1:11:35.360 --> 1:11:43.600
<v Speaker 1>liking pictures, which is terrifying. But here we are. I

1:11:43.640 --> 1:11:46.040
<v Speaker 1>don't know about you, but things are getting hot in here.

1:11:46.840 --> 1:11:53.640
<v Speaker 1>I think your break. What what are you doing in

1:11:53.800 --> 1:11:56.400
<v Speaker 1>l A. Do you have a radio show? Why? I

1:11:56.439 --> 1:11:59.680
<v Speaker 1>was doing my radio shows like in l a for Nashville,

1:12:00.320 --> 1:12:01.840
<v Speaker 1>and I did that for like a year, and as

1:12:02.040 --> 1:12:04.040
<v Speaker 1>I think, at some point they were like, one, you

1:12:04.080 --> 1:12:06.960
<v Speaker 1>don't live here anymore, and like, it's weird that you're

1:12:06.960 --> 1:12:10.479
<v Speaker 1>not going on client calls and stuff. So also the

1:12:10.479 --> 1:12:12.719
<v Speaker 1>money wasn't super great, so I think we just both

1:12:12.760 --> 1:12:15.360
<v Speaker 1>went our separate. What ended up happening was I was

1:12:15.840 --> 1:12:18.040
<v Speaker 1>I went and filmed a pilot for a different network,

1:12:18.360 --> 1:12:20.280
<v Speaker 1>so I was gone for a month, and then I

1:12:20.280 --> 1:12:23.280
<v Speaker 1>had to go film for Paradise for an entire month,

1:12:23.320 --> 1:12:25.240
<v Speaker 1>so effectively I was gone for like two and a

1:12:25.280 --> 1:12:27.880
<v Speaker 1>half months. And they were like, dude, you can't. You

1:12:27.960 --> 1:12:30.320
<v Speaker 1>gotta we gotta figure something out. So then we separate.

1:12:30.360 --> 1:12:32.720
<v Speaker 1>So I'm not doing radio anymore. I do two podcasts,

1:12:33.479 --> 1:12:37.680
<v Speaker 1>um podcast, So I still do y f T Your

1:12:37.680 --> 1:12:41.439
<v Speaker 1>Favorite Thing, and that's with Brandy Cyrus and that's just

1:12:41.520 --> 1:12:44.400
<v Speaker 1>a podcast about what our favorite things are that week.

1:12:44.520 --> 1:12:50.080
<v Speaker 1>So like Insatiable, we loved the visa. By the way,

1:12:50.120 --> 1:12:52.439
<v Speaker 1>I have to say, like I've seen your I mean

1:12:53.360 --> 1:12:55.280
<v Speaker 1>when we first met, I don't know if you were

1:12:55.320 --> 1:12:58.000
<v Speaker 1>on Shameless, and then you were you were on Shameless

1:12:58.000 --> 1:13:00.720
<v Speaker 1>there like in the middle of our meeting, yeah, and

1:13:00.880 --> 1:13:05.600
<v Speaker 1>which is weird because Sarah's best friends with Jeremy who

1:13:05.760 --> 1:13:08.160
<v Speaker 1>lives on the street from us, and like came to

1:13:08.200 --> 1:13:12.320

<v Speaker 1>you're on Insatiable and Sarah's like best friend in the

1:13:15.760 --> 1:13:20.679
<v Speaker 1>world is Debbie. Yeah, and so it's like, whatever show

<v Speaker 1>you do next, Sarah needs to be love it. I

1:13:23.400 --> 1:13:28.880
<v Speaker 1>love that Debbie is the best. She's so sweet. Um,

1:13:28.960 --> 1:13:32.599
<v Speaker 1>I know, she's spoken so highly and like and I know, yeah,

1:13:32.840 --> 1:13:34.759
<v Speaker 1>because she talks a lot of ship to my face.

1:13:35.479 --> 1:13:38.240
<v Speaker 1>This was fun of but I made her start watching

1:13:38.240 --> 1:13:40.680
<v Speaker 1>The Bachelor, and so I remember she met she was

1:13:40.720 --> 1:13:42.960
<v Speaker 1>with you at the I Heart thing like two years ago,

1:13:43.080 --> 1:13:45.920
<v Speaker 1>and she was like she because she was like her

1:13:45.960 --> 1:13:48.599
<v Speaker 1>first year that she had been watching. She watched Becca

1:13:48.680 --> 1:13:52.080
<v Speaker 1>and she watched Ari was her first one. But like

1:13:52.400 --> 1:13:54.680
<v Speaker 1>watching her be so excited for people to find their

1:13:54.680 --> 1:13:56.160
<v Speaker 1>love journey and that she was with you and she

1:13:56.280 --> 1:13:59.960
<v Speaker 1>was like Dean's drunk like that, take pictures. It's so fun.

1:14:00.000 --> 1:14:02.800
<v Speaker 1>Need to watch her fan girl people, and she loves

1:14:02.800 --> 1:14:05.600
<v Speaker 1>you guys together, no, I know. And I got to

1:14:05.640 --> 1:14:10.400
<v Speaker 1>meet Josh at like the night before party and so

1:14:10.439 --> 1:14:12.320
<v Speaker 1>we're best friends now, which is great. Yeah, of course.

1:14:12.360 --> 1:14:14.640
<v Speaker 1>Obviously I asked him if I could open up for

1:14:14.720 --> 1:14:24.880
<v Speaker 1>him as an amateur magician. Can you imagine, Hello Paris

1:14:24.880 --> 1:14:29.960
<v Speaker 1>like me the world's worst opening act. He was a

1:14:29.960 --> 1:14:31.840
<v Speaker 1>good sport. He was like, I'll get back to you

1:14:31.880 --> 1:14:34.360
<v Speaker 1>on that. So I think I'm hoping that that I'm

1:14:34.400 --> 1:14:36.640
<v Speaker 1>counting on. I think it's probably gonna happen. Said, that's

1:14:36.640 --> 1:14:40.400
<v Speaker 1>probably gonna happen. Um, okay, you said before we go

1:14:40.560 --> 1:14:44.160
<v Speaker 1>that you know, we're obsessed with what happened with what

1:14:44.200 --> 1:14:47.760
<v Speaker 1>happened to Peter's face? How did he count? Did this

1:14:47.840 --> 1:14:50.479
<v Speaker 1>poor young pilot get twenty one stitches in his face

1:14:50.600 --> 1:14:54.400
<v Speaker 1>that you allegedly? What have you sort of around about her?

1:14:54.560 --> 1:14:56.840
<v Speaker 1>What I heard was, and this is from a pretty

1:14:57.439 --> 1:15:03.360
<v Speaker 1>reputable source. I heard that, uh um, he was. He

1:15:03.479 --> 1:15:05.920
<v Speaker 1>was like on a golf cart, you know, like you've

1:15:05.920 --> 1:15:07.680
<v Speaker 1>been on set, like if you're he was on a

1:15:07.680 --> 1:15:12.879
<v Speaker 1>golf cart driving somewhere, and he was holding two glasses

1:15:12.920 --> 1:15:16.839
<v Speaker 1>of champagne and he was for the show. I'm assuming

1:15:17.439 --> 1:15:21.400
<v Speaker 1>and um, you know, like if you've ever gotten in

1:15:21.560 --> 1:15:23.479
<v Speaker 1>or out of a golf cart, they've got that like

1:15:23.600 --> 1:15:28.280
<v Speaker 1>overhand from what I heard was he got out. He

1:15:28.360 --> 1:15:30.919
<v Speaker 1>was either getting out and trying to get back into

1:15:30.920 --> 1:15:33.160
<v Speaker 1>the golf cart and forgot to like duck his head

1:15:34.080 --> 1:15:36.040
<v Speaker 1>and so when he did that, his head hit the

1:15:36.120 --> 1:15:38.840
<v Speaker 1>roof of it and then that kind of pushed it

1:15:38.880 --> 1:15:42.200
<v Speaker 1>down into the glass, and the glass broke and cut

1:15:42.200 --> 1:15:45.559
<v Speaker 1>his head. You know what, That's the only like I

1:15:45.560 --> 1:15:50.280
<v Speaker 1>feel like you actually made it sound plausible. That actually

1:15:50.439 --> 1:15:54.080
<v Speaker 1>was like, Okay, I believe that because I'm hearing freak

1:15:54.160 --> 1:15:59.439
<v Speaker 1>accident to alcohol classes day, I just your day drinking, hey,

1:15:59.520 --> 1:16:02.760

<v Speaker 1>the nineteenth whol Like I need to see that footage.

<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry he has stitches. But then I hear, I

1:16:10.200 --> 1:16:14.479
<v Speaker 1>mean it's his face fucked up a lot of stitches. Yeah,

1:16:14.520 --> 1:16:16.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, poor guy. I mean, who wants to

1:16:16.760 --> 1:16:19.519
<v Speaker 1>go into fantasy suits with that? And I heard that

1:16:19.600 --> 1:16:22.439
<v Speaker 1>he was like so apologetic about the whole thing and

1:16:22.479 --> 1:16:27.200
<v Speaker 1>being like did I ruin the show? And you know,

1:16:27.479 --> 1:16:29.840
<v Speaker 1>the person telling me this was like, what are you

1:16:29.840 --> 1:16:33.799

<v Speaker 1>was like, everyone be quiet and we ended classy did

1:25:08.840 --> 1:25:11.519

<v Speaker 1>Were family strict? Do you have to sneak around? Not really?

1:28:30.360 --> 1:28:33.160
<v Speaker 1>Because I was the youngest of five, they've given up

1:28:33.240 --> 1:28:35.960

<v Speaker 1>with everyone coming over and would kind of like throw

1:28:43.600 --> 1:28:45.640
<v Speaker 1>a blind eye to the drinking as long as no

1:28:45.720 --> 1:28:48.439
<v Speaker 1>one drove. Rob was the baby, and Rob also had

1:28:48.479 --> 1:28:50.160

1:28:51.040 --> 1:28:54.680
<v Speaker 1>how many it's interesting, it's interesting, But I did used

1:28:54.720 --> 1:28:58.000
<v Speaker 1>to hook up with the girl that lived I lived

1:28:58.040 --> 1:28:59.880
<v Speaker 1>on a golf course and so she lived like up then,

1:29:01.160 --> 1:29:03.639

1:29:07.160 --> 1:29:11.599
<v Speaker 1>climb through the window and and make out with her whatnot.

1:29:11.600 --> 1:29:14.880
<v Speaker 1>And I remember one night her dad knocked on the

1:29:14.960 --> 1:29:18.000
<v Speaker 1>door and I'd go hide in the closet and I

1:29:18.760 --> 1:29:21.840
<v Speaker 1>have never been more terrified in my life. That's fun though,

1:29:21.920 --> 1:29:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Sneaking around is fine. Well, and my dipship friends they

1:29:25.400 --> 1:29:27.960

<v Speaker 1>they were all jealous, so they would fault. They would calm,

1:29:31.960 --> 1:29:34.160
<v Speaker 1>and they would throw rocks at the roof. I mean

1:29:34.479 --> 1:29:37.559

<v Speaker 1>that age, like ten to seventeen or eighteen with somebody.

1:29:57.920 --> 1:30:01.360

<v Speaker 1>like we smoked weed together, and you know, a cool

1:30:45.960 --> 1:30:48.799
<v Speaker 1>northern California family. I would be sitting there like watching

1:30:48.880 --> 1:30:50.760
<v Speaker 1>cartoons and he cereal and he'd walk in and be like,

1:30:50.800 --> 1:30:52.519
<v Speaker 1>you look like you want some chocolate. And I'd be like,

1:30:52.720 --> 1:30:56.120
<v Speaker 1>do we have chocolate? And he'd be like no, you

1:30:56.240 --> 1:30:58.360
<v Speaker 1>just like look like you really want chocolate right now.

1:30:58.400 --> 1:31:00.200
<v Speaker 1>And then one day I remember he like I had

1:31:00.240 --> 1:31:01.720
<v Speaker 1>to move my car for some reason, and I had

1:31:01.760 --> 1:31:05.439
<v Speaker 1>like a pipe and a lighter and uh and uh,

1:31:05.880 --> 1:31:08.680
<v Speaker 1>your eye drops in the glove compartment or I thought

1:31:08.720 --> 1:31:10.760
<v Speaker 1>they were but I went back in my car and

1:31:10.880 --> 1:31:14.280
<v Speaker 1>everything was just like perfectly like set on the dashboard,

1:31:14.600 --> 1:31:16.320
<v Speaker 1>like he found it and he just put it right

1:31:16.320 --> 1:31:18.160
<v Speaker 1>there to be like, look what I found. I like

1:31:18.320 --> 1:31:21.120
<v Speaker 1>that your dad did that. He just funk with me

1:31:21.280 --> 1:31:23.679
<v Speaker 1>all the time. I got chipped off to boarding school

1:31:23.680 --> 1:31:25.360
<v Speaker 1>because we didn't have a high school in my town

1:31:25.479 --> 1:31:30.320
<v Speaker 1>or anywhere nearby, and so in some ways, I know,

1:31:30.520 --> 1:31:33.439
<v Speaker 1>like the school was the authoritarian, you know, Like so

1:31:33.560 --> 1:31:35.400
<v Speaker 1>it's like that was like I didn't have to rebel

1:31:35.439 --> 1:31:37.519
<v Speaker 1>against my parents so much as like we were in lockdown.

1:31:37.520 --> 1:31:38.880
<v Speaker 1>It was sort of fun because you're like trying to

1:31:38.880 --> 1:31:40.320
<v Speaker 1>figure out how to escape your dorm and it was

1:31:40.439 --> 1:31:43.639
<v Speaker 1>co ed. You'd figure out like we'd like like figure

1:31:43.680 --> 1:31:46.200
<v Speaker 1>out where to meet, you know. It was terrifying, and

1:31:46.320 --> 1:31:49.439
<v Speaker 1>fun was the opposite. I went to We went like

1:31:49.520 --> 1:31:51.320
<v Speaker 1>on a family trip to England when I was fourteen,

1:31:51.640 --> 1:31:53.120
<v Speaker 1>and like they don't care there. My dad's like, go

1:31:53.280 --> 1:31:55.519
<v Speaker 1>order a beer, and I want to order to gain

1:31:55.640 --> 1:31:57.320
<v Speaker 1>us because that's the only beer I knew the name of.

1:31:57.640 --> 1:31:59.599
<v Speaker 1>And then he made me drink it and then laughed

1:31:59.600 --> 1:32:02.240
<v Speaker 1>at me because they hated it. I do write a

1:32:02.320 --> 1:32:03.920
