12
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: I tried to rationalize it and say, oh, it's Wednesday, Rachel, Like,

21
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: a lessing it's it's hard because there's so much going

22
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: on in the world, and it's like, it's just hard

23
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: to celebrate when when there's just a lot that's on

24
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: your mind. But try to find, you know, good moments

00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: throughout the day. So thank you a lot, a lot

26
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: of love from people. I have yet to be able

27
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: to respond back to any messages. I'm like trying to

28
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: sift through and get to the business of it. But yeah,

29
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: so thank you for asking. But in other big news,

30
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: I can't even believe that I'm sitting here and I'm

31
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: about to say this, but Rachel. Next week, it is

32
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: officially our one hundredth episode about Your Happy Hour, and

33
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: it's like it's I feel like I just started working

34
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: on the podcast yesterday, but it also has felt like

35
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: twenty years. It's crazy to think that we've we've almost

36
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: hit a hundred. I feel like we should get the

37
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: hundred uh you know the balloons that people use when

38
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: they get like one hundred thousand followers or something like

39
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: the Instagram. Yeah, something fun like that to celebrate. But

40
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: in honor of that, next week, we are going to

41
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: be counting down some of our favorite moments that we've

42
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 1: had so far. On Bachelor Happy Hour Plus, stay tuned

43
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: for the end of this episode because we have some

44
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 1: big exciting news coming from Rachel as well. So, before

45
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: we get into this, how are you feeling after almost

46
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: one hundred episodes. You've summed it up perfectly. It feels

47
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: like we just started. But at the same time, I

48
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: feel like we've been doing this forever. I can't believe

49
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: it's so really. I mean, we started this in summer,

50
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: in the summer twenty nineteen, and it's it's really been great.

51
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: Just like building this Bachelor Happy Hour audience. Not being

52
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 1: able to pick out a name for our listener still,

53
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: we couldn't come up. We couldn't come up. It's so

54
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: easy to either offend people people didn't like it, I

55
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: don't we sorry you guys, so you're still just our

56
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: Happy Hour listeners. But it's like the conversations that we've had,

57
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: whether it's been on, whether it's been serious over you know,

58
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: like I feel like we've been able to be an

59
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: example for different people, and um, yeah, I'm proud of

60
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: what we've built with this, with this platform. It's just

61
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: it's so much more than The Bachelor, Like it is

62
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: the Bachelor, but it's about friendship, it's about life, it's

63
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: about current affairs, it's about you know, it's it's it's everything.

64
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: It's about people. Yes, it's so true, so well said.

65
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: And I think for me personally, I was very hesitant

66
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: to join the podcast because you know, I mean you

67
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: were I didn't know, and we have multiple conversations about it.

68
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: It wasn't something you know, obviously, I wasn't at the

69
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: beginning with you, when it was you and Ali, and

70
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: I was really on the edge of, you know, do

71
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: I want to still stay so inundated in the Bachelor World,

72
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: and especially I had such like a love hate relationship

73
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: with Bachelor Nation for a while, Like I wasn't used

74
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: to them being, you know, all up in your grill

75
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: and just used to them constantly like giving their opinions

76
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: and everything. And so I was like, Okay, I could

77
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: either go one way and be like very very you know,

78
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: still a part of this, or I could you know,

79
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: just go live my life. And it honestly wasn't until

80
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: I started just I think, being a guest with you,

81
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: and we did a couple episodes where I was just

82
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: a guest co host and I had such an absolute

83
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: blast and it was because of you. You were you

84
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: were the reason that sold me because I was like,

85
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: it's just girl time. Like we were at that point.

86
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: We were in the studio, face to face, hanging out

87
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: and it was just so different than it is now.

88
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 1: And that's why. So for everyone listening, it's because of

89
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 1: Rachel Lindsay that I'm here. Whether you whether you want

90
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: to thank or hater, I don't know. Before you have

91
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: been an absolute joy to have as a co host.

92
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: And I remember when we were bringing different people in

93
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: and you know, like we were kind of testing or not,

94
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: and then like you came in and we just clicked

95
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 1: and we had such a good time. And then you

96
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: were like, sure if I want to do it, and

97
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: it was like wait, wait, wait, wait wait, we want

98
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: back to do it. I remember I told Megan. I

99
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: was like, that was really good, like that like really flowed.

100
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: Megan's a producer on the show, you guys, um, but

101
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: and she was like I know. And then You're like,

102
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: I don't know, I thought we had that in the bag.

103
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: Well I'm so glad that you changed your mind, um,

104
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: And I'm glad that what we've been able to do together.

105
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: It's just it's it's been great. Yeah, it has been,

106
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: and it's just a really cool special opportunity, I guess

107
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 1: experience to between this alongside you as the first official

108
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: Bachelor podcast, and I just feel very grateful for the

109
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: opportunity that you guys wanted me and that it did

110
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: flow and we did click. Um. But yeah, it's been

111
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: it's been quick. Hate to say the journey like the show,

112
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,119
Speaker 1: but that's what it's been. So, I mean, I think

113
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: with that, we just got to get into it because

114
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: you guys, as I said, we're going to be counting down, um,

115
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: some of our favorite best Bachelor Happy Hour moments in

116
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: chronological order. Um. So to kick it off, let's just

117
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: start at the very beginning. We have to cover when

118
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: this all began, when Bachelor Happy Hour it was birth

119
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: and unfortunately I was not an actual part of it

120
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 1: at that point, Rachel, it was just you an Ali.

121
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: But that this is, this is our certain point. This

122
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: is number one, the Bachelor Happy Hour Podcast premiere. Yes, hi, guys,

123
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: I'm Rachel Lindsay and I'm Alie Fantowski Mano, and you

124
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: are listening to Bachelor Happy Hour. This is our first podcast.

125
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: I know, I'm so excited. We've been talking about this

126
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: for a while. This is something that we're really passionate about,

127
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 1: and we feel like as two former bachelorettes who have

128
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: two completely different stories, we've got a lot that we

129
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,919
Speaker 1: can tell. You've been the success story. I am the failure. Okay,

130
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: now you're in Bachelor Nation, but not outside of Bachelor,

131
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 1: not in life, not in life. I know. I'm so

132
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 1: excited about this show, you guys, because I have been

133
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: a super fan of the show ever since I was

134
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: the Bachelor. It's pretty much a decade ago, ten years ago.

135
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,799
Speaker 1: Now we're gonna have the most exclusive guests on this podcast.

136
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 1: Now we're going to have breaking news. We're going to

137
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: have guests before anyone else gets them. On the podcast.

138
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: We'll be giving behind the scenes information only that two

139
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: former bachelorettes can give. Why does it feel listening to

140
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: that back episode one? I'm laughing because that Rachel is dead.

141
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: They're just no other way to say it. I'm I'm

142
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: listening and there's just so much life and optimism and

143
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: an excitement at starting something new. And it was and

144
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: that was all real, and it was you know, nothing

145
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: like this had happened before outside of the show. There

146
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: was really nothing that the show was doing for talent,

147
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: so I was thrilled to be asked to be a

148
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: part of it. I remember thinking, are you sure you

149
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: want me to have the mic for opinions? And you know,

150
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: it was the whole Ali and I were a stark

151
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: contrast to one another, both batcharettes, but just like different worlds,

152
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: different opinions. Yeah, and I listen and I just smile,

153
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, only she knew well then, oh gosh,

154
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: what a young green Rachel that was. And then and

155
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: it's so interesting too, because that was in the middle

156
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: of like obviously like when your season aired versus now,

157
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: and like, there's so much that has gone on, and

158
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: I think even within the past couple recent seasons, so

159
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: much has changed. So I can only imagine what I

160
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: felt like sitting down in the studio at that point

161
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: with Ali. The part that stuck out to me and

162
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: I sorry, I had never listened to the very first

163
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: episode of the podcast. Okay, um, I love when Ali

164
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: says you are the success story and I am the failure.

165
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: And look where we're right now, everybody, do I come

166
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: full circling in a completely different way. Um, But but

167
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: it's fun. It's just I can't believe that was back

168
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen. I think of how much I only

169
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: in bat Nation and the franchise has shade, but like

170
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: in the world, and try to say in the world

171
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: in general, like how much has happened? Oh, it's crazy,

172
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: so true. That was actually three weeks before my wedding,

173
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: so it was like I was in a wild place.

174
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: That premiere three weeks before we got married on the

175
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: twenty fourth of August, so it was just a wild time.

176
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: But it really was you know, like if I can,

177
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: if I can, like, oh, just a little of me

178
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: can tap back in and find that Rachel. It was

179
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,839
Speaker 1: exciting because we were going to talk about a show

180
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: that we were a part of, whether it was, as

181
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: Ali said, a success or a failure. We weren't limited

182
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: on what we could say. We could have these free

183
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 1: flowing opinions. People were either going to agree with us

184
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: or they weren't. But we were going to have this community,

185
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: build a community where people could come, they could listen

186
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: to us, you know, they could argue with us with

187
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: social media, what it read it, wherever they wanted to,

188
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: wherever it may be. But I just remember thinking we

189
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: are starting a community and that was exciting, and we

190
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: still two years later, almost a hundred episodes later, here

191
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: we are with this community and it just keeps growing

192
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: and growing that it does. And with that, let's just

193
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: keep going rolling through our second best boutchelor happy Hour moment. Rachel,

194
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: do you want to do the honors of this one? Oh? Yeah, So,

195
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: you guys remember this one. I caught a lot of

196
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: heat for this. This was in the height of the

197
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: Paradise Slash Stage Coach scandal. This is where Blake did

198
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: an unprecedented move where he linked the text messages that

199
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: he received from Kalin. Okay, this was We had a

200
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 1: part one and a part two because it was so good.

201
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: It was so juicy. You guys here it is that

202
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: night when I released those text messages, I really was.

203
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 1: I was breathing into a paperback, like it was incredibly

204
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 1: difficult for me, and a decision like that, you do

205
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: reach out for advice, and especially advice for people who

206
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: have been in situations like men in vater nation. And

207
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: it was a lot of people. They didn't even really

208
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: say no, don't do it. They were like, if you

209
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: do this, know what the consequences are that kind of thing,

210
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: like that's and I did reach out, and some you know,

211
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: there were a few that were like you had like

212
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: the things she's saying, like you have to do it,

213
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: like I don't see any other choice. And so when

214
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: people say, you know, why did you was premeditator or whatever?

215
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: It was such a hard decision for me. I wanted

216
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: to reach out, and I wanted to talk to other people,

217
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: and I wanted to see if anybody else had any

218
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: other ideas. I want to see if there was any

219
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: other avenue I could take. And at the end of

220
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: the day, as hard as it was, I felt like

221
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: that was the only thing I could do to get truth,

222
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: my truth out there. And because I didn't know a

223
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: lot of things she was saying, WHOA. I was traveling

224
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: internationally when all of this was going down, and I

225
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: remember hearing about it all. My phone was going crazy

226
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 1: when I was in Bali this week. This is why

227
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: I never would ever want to do Paradise because of this. Listen.

228
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: I mean, Blake made a bed, he had to lie

229
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: in it. He let a few people lie in that bed.

230
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: But I think what I was very much show if

231
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 1: we're talking about teams. You know, I don't agree with

232
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: you know, revealing private messages, but I felt like at

233
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 1: that moment, because Blake was being led on and we

234
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: had actually had a podcast at the time with Kaylin

235
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 1: that we couldn't even air because there was just so

236
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 1: much inconsistency and or inconsistencies and lies and it was

237
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: just a really messy situation. I was even dming Amanda

238
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: is Cyfred I think Cyfrid. I was dming Amanda Cyfrid

239
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: about it because so many people had opinions. It was

240
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: a big thing. But I what I think the best

241
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 1: thing to come out of that conversation, because I don't

242
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: want to rehash it, is that we had a discussion

243
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: about mental health. I mean, Blake really suffered a lot,

244
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: and I think for the correct me if I'm wrong,

245
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: and I apologize if I am, but I feel like

246
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: for the first time in a long if not ever,

247
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: we talked about the problematic nature of the fan base

248
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: and how people talk to us like we aren't humans,

249
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 1: like their words don't affect us, and Blake went to

250
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: a really, really dark place. And I think that that's

251
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: why I would lean more towards Team Blake, because I

252
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: felt like somebody needed to publicly have his back, and

253
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: I understood both sides of the story. So yeah, I'm

254
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: proud of that interview because I felt like we gave

255
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: Blake a platform. I felt like we touched on mental

256
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: health and at the same time, listen, they're both better

257
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: off from it, Like Kaylin seems to be in a

258
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: great relationship with Dean, and Blake has you know, found

259
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 1: like learned from that those mistakes. He's not a fuck

260
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: boy anymore in Bachelor Nation, and really seems that I

261
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: love Blake really, I really do. I really seems to

262
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 1: be doing his thing, so djang or you know whatever.

263
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: So yeah, everybody's better off now. Yeah, it's so interesting

264
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: because at that point in time, Blake and I like

265
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,719
Speaker 1: weren't really talking obviously, I was still in my past relationship,

266
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: and lately Blake and I have just built up our

267
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: friendship and have had a lot of conversations about this,

268
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: so I know a little bit more of the backstory.

269
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, playing into mental health and the fan base

270
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: and how much what people watch on an episode that obviously,

271
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's reality TV, but

272
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: how much stock they put into it, and they formed

273
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: these sides and these alliances, but then they turned so

274
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: cruel and they're like, well, I'm on this side, so

275
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: here's the death threat coming to the other side's way.

276
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: It's just it gets really toxic. And you know, people

277
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: always say, like at the end of the day, you

278
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: signed up for a TV show. It's like, yeah, everyone

279
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: that's on the show did sign up. Yes, we're all

280
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: consenting adults here, but you don't sign up. They hate like,

281
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: and you really can't. And we've said this time and

282
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: time again on the podcast, you can't expect it. And

283
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: so I think he was in a very dark place.

284
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: I think he's since then pulled himself out of there,

285
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: and as you said, they're both in better places and

286
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: they're both both doing well on their own. And he's

287
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: really i think normalized talking about mental health and having

288
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: a safe space and having future cast members that are

289
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: coming from the show and off of the show to

290
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: have somebody that they can maybe reach out to and

291
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: lean on and who would maybe go through something similar,

292
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: you know, And I think it's paradise. Like everyone talks

293
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: before the show, right, like we've we saw it in

294
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: the past couple of weeks. Everyone's from different seasons, they're

295
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: already hanging out. It's like it's just now being normalized

296
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: because of everything that went down two years ago. I'm paraded.

297
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: It's crazy to think like it's been two years since

298
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: a past paradise. But yeah, so I end a past

299
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: and a stagecoach. Yeah number three. Oh, this is one

300
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: of my favorite episodes. This is one of my first

301
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: episode that I ever recorded with you, Ragel. But we

302
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: had the fabulous Neil Lane on to talk all about

303
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: how he got his start with the Hollywood stars and

304
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: you'll listen right here. And then when it came to Hollywood,

305
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: I met these amazing young movie stars. They weren't yet famous,

306
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: and I was friendly with them like friends, and then

307
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: started designing jewelry. And then when they became famous, where

308
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: Angelo Joe Lee came in and got a Brad Pitt band.

309
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, who are waiting? Yeah, but you

310
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: have to understand when you say who are wait? You are?

311
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: Who you are? You are? We wi you are those? No,

312
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: but you are Because I've dealt with so I've I

313
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: have so many amazing experiences working with Ellen or a

314
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: ring with Porsche. I wanted to share that I had

315
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff to give, and I couldn't just

316
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: give it from my little store. First. I wasn't. I

317
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: didn't have that store that you so I had a

318
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: little counter when I first came to gether, and I

319
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: had a little jewelry counter ten feet Why so I

320
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: wasn't who I am today. Then just hearing his voice

321
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 1: puts a massive smile on my face. You know what,

322
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 1: exactly Its moments like this why I love the podcast

323
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: because we've all seen Nil Lane, right, you've seen him

324
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: on the show. He opens up the case, you get

325
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: a little background story on some of the rings, and

326
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 1: that's it. You had no idea there was so much

327
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: behind that beautiful man. Nil Lane is a gift. It

328
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: is a shame. It's almost criminal that they have not

329
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: given us more than Lane. And I am so happy

330
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: that we were able to just, you know, show the

331
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: audience bats our nations something that they had not seen before.

332
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: The only thing that shines brighter than a kneel Lane

333
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 1: diamond is mister Niel Lane himself. And I'm gonna leave

334
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: it at that. He is a gem to behold. And

335
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: you know what, I just think we need to have

336
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: another podcast episode with him, or maybe just seven co

337
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: hosts with us one of the one of the two,

338
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 1: because I just can't get enough of him. He's just

339
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 1: so vibrant, he just oh, he just has such a

340
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: kind soul. He's so funny, like there's there's so much

341
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 1: to him. Um. So yeah that that not only is

342
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: one of my favorite I think moments, but favorite episodes

343
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 1: that we've ever saying with me saying, we were laughing

344
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 1: the entire time. It's one of the first ones we

345
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: did in person together, if not the first. Um yeah,

346
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 1: all three of us were together. Gosh, I miss that some.

347
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: I miss being able to do the podcast together. I

348
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: know there's just something different about being in person. Um

349
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: uh one day soon, Um okay, next one, next one.

350
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 1: We've got friends giving, our first friends giving. We had

351
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: great guests, myself, Um, Brian the Husband, Joe Kendall, Eric

352
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: Bigger Biggers for last season, Tasia, Kate, Tasha pre Bachelorette,

353
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: Katie Morton, and um we played a little game an

354
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 1: oldie but a goodie. Never have I already talked about this,

355
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: Never have I ever slid into another member of Batster

356
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: Nation's dms in general? Did you know them before? Because Katie,

357
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 1: I feel like you're trying to rationalize at drink And

358
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: just for all of you out there, those who were

359
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: drinking are Eric, Katie, Oh, Tasa, Brian. I'm looking at

360
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 1: you real quick to make sure you're not drinking on

361
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: this one. That why I was who lost the game.

362
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: I probably me, I don't I don't remember. I love

363
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 1: Never Have I Ever? That game never gets old. But

364
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 1: that was that was a lot of fun because also

365
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: it was my first time meeting so I don't think

366
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 1: I had ever met Tasia. Oh, I hope I'm not wrong.

367
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: Want to say this, but I think that was my

368
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 1: first time meeting her in person and in same with

369
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 1: other people's other people had met before, so it was

370
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: really fun getting to know one another for the first time.

371
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: And on the mic, there's nothing like good old fashioned

372
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: middle school games like Never Have I Ever? Truth and Dare,

373
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 1: But there's just and obviously I wasn't there at this

374
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: friend's giving, but there's just something about going back to

375
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: just being in person and like being in a group

376
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: setting with everyone being able to play this game and

377
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 1: too like and this is the thing. It was probably

378
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: one of the first times that several of the people

379
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: at this party met each other for the first time.

380
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, people talk and DM and kind of

381
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: get to know each other that way, but but there's

382
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: something special. It just bonds you in a weird way.

383
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: So yeah, if anyone ever once we can be together

384
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: in public recording playing games again, sign me up. I

385
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: want to be at all the never have I ever games,

386
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 1: all the friends givings to come all right, So well,

387
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: I guess the next one. Finally, I am officially involved

388
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 1: in Bachelor Happy Hour. When I was announced on January seventh,

389
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: I think it was as the next co host with Rachel.

390
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: What's up, everybody, Welcome to another episode of Bachelor Happy Hour?

392
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: We're very happy right now. We are happy because I

393
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: feel like the people have been asking, right man, I

394
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: don't even remember that. Do you know what I remember

395
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: is but even before we filmed that, do you remember

396
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 1: we were at I was at the reel and you

397
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 1: came up there and we did our photo shoot. Yes,

398
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: I remember that. We did our photo shoot. Like Tea

399
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: Pain was performing, remember at Tory Lanes, and they like

400
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: walked by. We're like just trying to holding our roses,

401
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: doing our happy hour thing that was. That was funny.

402
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 1: I remember that. I was like, yes, it's gonna be

403
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: so much fun. And and I remember you. I think

404
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: you had like a dressing room off the side, and

405
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: you went all these cute outfits and dresses. And I

406
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 1: brought like one romper that I probably wore for a

407
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 1: press appearance, like when I was still shred or something.

408
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 1: And I just remember looking being like, oh, yeah, this

Speaker 1: just like with my paper bag. It looked great. That

411
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 1: was so fun because we didn't do that. I didn't

412
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: do that with Ali. We didn't have the promo shoots

413
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: like that. We picked different pictures, so it felt very

414
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: official to take to do like a professional shoot to

415

Speaker 1: that new year, new duo, new year, new shit. That's

421
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: what the motto should have been, because twenty twenty good great.

422
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 1: Oh seriously, if only somebody would have sat us out

423
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: and been like, look, you guys only will be in

424
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: studio for two months together. Actually what I miss most though,

425
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: is remember I used to drive up once or twice

426
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 1: a week to record with you, and I always have Minno,

427
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: So Minno was like the little office mascot, and she'd

428
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: be jumping all over the place, like chewing on her bones, barking,

429
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: getting all the attention. Um. But I was going through

430
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: old photos because I'm trying to clean out my camera

431
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: because I had zero storage, and I have one of

432
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: you and I sitting there. I should I'll send it

433
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: to you. And Minno is sitting on one of the

434
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: producer's laps like with her ears poking up, and it's

435
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 1: just us like with the with the promo in the background.

436
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 1: It's just a really cute photo. Just so many good memories.

437
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: I know I'm with you doing in a person I

438
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: miss so so much, But it's so it's so funny

439
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: how it's not funny, but just like, wow, the way

440
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 1: that years started off to where you know, we are

441
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: now happy we were still able to make the podcast

442
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:50,679
Speaker 1: happen from a distance, but man, yeah, um, oh right,

443
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: you're up for the next one. So this this was

444
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: a this was a big night. Um. It's not just

445
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 1: the guess that we had on the one, it was

446
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 1: everything that was surrounding it. It's what was supposed to

447
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 1: happen but didn't. Woo, you guys. This was a night.

448
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: This was a night. A lot of behind the scene stuff.

449
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 1: This is We talked to Hannah Anne after the final rows,

450
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: well after after the final rows, and it's about Hannah

451
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: Anne looking back on her season with Peter and then

452
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 1: she just talks about watching the season and how it

453
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: gave her more clarity on her breakup. Here we go,

454
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 1: I'll always have, you know, a special place for him.

455
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: But I mean he's betrayed me, misled me, and that

456
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: alone has and watching back the seasons that really resolved

457
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 1: a lot of like extra feelings I had for him

458
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: and he just I'm watching a play by play of

459
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: me getting deceived and that alone was you know, a

460
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: slap in the face and it's helped me move forward.

461
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: But you know, to be honest, when I looked over

462
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 1: at his family, yeah, I did, you know when it's

463
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: hurt to car I and just you know, I felt like,

464
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 1: you know, me and Peter just had this awesome situation

465
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: and it was like just stripped away from me so quickly.

466
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 1: You know, it was a future that I lost, but

467
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: more importantly, it was the loss of a person I thought.

468
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:22,120
Speaker 1: He was Wow. I feel like that was a week

469
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,360
Speaker 1: ago that we were sitting. We were sitting right over

470
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: at the Warner lot with Hannah Anne watching the finale,

471
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: and for to give everyone context, Rachel and I were

472
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: at the finale. We were not in the crowd, but

473
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 1: we were backstage in a holding room with mister Neil Lane,

474
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:41,479
Speaker 1: which made everything so much more enjoyable that even Um

475
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 1: and we actually, I mean like when we went up

476
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,199
Speaker 1: to the room to record, we thought we were going

477
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 1: to be meeting with at that point Peter and whoever

478
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 1: he picked. Obviously I did not happen. There was drama

479
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 1: going down in the room next to us, which is

480
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 1: all I was thinking about. Um, But that one was

481
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: so interesting because it was like this mix of a emotions,

482
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: like you and I were like vibing having fun together

483
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: with Neil, but then we were with Hannah who was

484
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: newly broken up with and having to like relive and

485
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 1: rewatch this heartbreak on TV. And my heart was breaking

486
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 1: for her because I knew how she felt, and it

487
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 1: was just such a strange finale in general. And I

488
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: just remember like watching Hannah speak and just like wanting

489
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 1: to hold her and be like it's gonna be okay,

490
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,719
Speaker 1: like you're so much gutter off, like just you know,

491
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: just give it time type thing. But the things that

492
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: do you remember stopping the interview halfway through and you're like, wait,

493
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: guess you just tweeted about Hannah and oh yeah, kim

494
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 1: kaya kik kim k she was. It was. It was

495
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 1: a power girl moment for Hannah and that night to afar,

496
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 1: it carried into the podcast. I mean, she really came

497
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: into her own. She had those new extensions, like SHD

498
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: the whole new look. She was ready and rightfully so.

499
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: She had watched the season, She had a lot to say,

500
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,360
Speaker 1: She had so much support, so many people were rallying

501
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: around her, and I was happy for her. I was

502
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,360
Speaker 1: proud of her. She won me over during that interview

503
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: as well. And yeah, it seems that that date wise,

504
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: that stands out to me because the next day is

505
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: when the world shut down, like completely shut down. So

506
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,199
Speaker 1: that will always stand in my mind because it's like

507
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,959
Speaker 1: we had new coronavirus was here, but we had no

508
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: idea the impact it was going to have, And that

509
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: next twenty four hours was just crazy, not just the

510
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,159
Speaker 1: finale but that as well. Um, and it seems like

511
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: Peter's had five lives since then. Him, He's definitely had

512
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,959
Speaker 1: five girlfriends but death, but five lives as well. Yeah,

513
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: a lot has changed for everyone. That was. That was

514
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: our very last one in person, very last one. Yeah. Yeah, yeah,

515
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,360
Speaker 1: as you said, the world shut down. Basically the next day,

516
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 1: I flew to Minnesota, did my very last bouts for

517
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 1: Live on stage show, and then it was the twenty

518
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: twenty quarantine that lasted forever. Yeah, but yeah, I'm glad

519
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 1: to moments like that where we finally were able to

520
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: give Hannah and more of a voice. There wasn't much

521
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 1: that we saw of her throughout Peter's season, and so

522
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 1: it's it's giving women, especially women because I'm you know,

523
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,120
Speaker 1: I always wanted champion for the females and then too,

524
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: but you know, that's ass about in my heart for

525
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 1: the girls to just show more of their personality, show

526
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: more of their feelings and their emotions and their thoughts

527
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 1: and opinions and so um, yeah, that that one is

528
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: one that will always stick out to me, but the

529
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: next one is also one of my favorites. It was

530
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: one that we did we were in person, but it

531
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: wasn't in the studio. It was actually when Ben Higgins

532
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: and I welcomed Rachel onto our tour bus when we

533
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,719
Speaker 1: were here for an episode of or when we were

534
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: here for a Bachelor Alive on stage show that Rachel

535
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: interviewed us about. On the tour bus, we gave her

536
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: the grand Old tour that lasted about thirty two seconds.

537
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: But then you also came on to the stage that night,

538
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: which was one of my favorite, most fun shows that

539
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 1: we've ever done. I'll tell you, yes, we we filmed

540
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: this early. It aired later, but oh yeah, yeah, I

541
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: remember we aired it later. But for me this stood

542
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: out because it was so cool to see you do

543
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: your thing, you know. It was so cool to like, yes,

544
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: you were my co host, but it was like I

545
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: was coming into your world literally on your fancy tour bus,

546
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: seeing how you guys lived on the road. I was

547
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: a roadie, weren't and it was just so fun and

548
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: I had no ideas. It was one of those things

549
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: where we heard about Bachelor Live on stage. Well, you

550
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: don't know until you know, until you get there, and

551
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: I'd hear you talk about it, but to see you

552
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: on stage hosting, interacting with the crowd, interacting it was

553
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: a bachelor. Well they were all bachelor's I guess, so

554
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: interacting with like the bachelor and the women on stage,

555
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: and like you were shining and I was like a

556
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: proud parents and I was like sitting back there just

557
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 1: it was so cool. So like that will always stand out,

558
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,959
Speaker 1: Like I hope you guys are able to bring it

559
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: back or do some kind of form of the live

560
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: on stage because it was really really cool. It was

561
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: a wild show. I remember we went into the audience

562
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 1: and girls were like a mob after Peter. They were like, yeah,

563
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 1: we're screaming for Peter. I don't know if they would

564
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: do that today, but they were like Peter Peter, like

565
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: pushing me out of the way, and I was like,

566
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: y'all can have them. We're trying to block. And that

567
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: was the height of his season, like he was still

568
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: his season was still airing at that point. It was

569
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: like a week or two maybe before his finale. But

570
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: the best part of the night that does not get

571
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: enough re condition so if anyone out there is listening,

572
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: and how's the clip If you were at LA show.

573
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: There was one point when I brought Rachel out on

574
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: stage with me for the lipstick competition and you were

575
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: telling want of the girls to get down on the

576
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 1: ground and crawl and she did it in her dress.

577
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: So she's crawling on the ground and I'm like, yeah, Rachel, this,

578
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take this for future show. She was great.

579
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: That girl was great. It was but no one says

580
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: know to Rachel, lindsay, so, yeah, that was one of

581
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: my favorite moments, just having you on stage two. It

582
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 1: was just so fun and like to bring you in

583
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 1: with Ben and like it was a wild show. It

584
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: was wild, ye, But let's roll the clip of when

585
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 1: you got to see the crand old tour bus. We

586
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: knew that Vachurnation would show up, you know, We've always

587
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 1: known the fans are great. But the moment Ben and

588
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: I stepped on stage and heard the applause and the

589
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 1: cheers and they were standing up cheering for us, I

590
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: think in that moment I realized, like, this is gonna

591
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: be a wild, crazy experience in the best possible way.

592
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: And we've all done appearances and meeting greats and have

593
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: met fans of vach Nation, which is great, but to

594
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: hear them watching a show and feeling like they're actually

595
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: watching the Bachelor Bachelor right, like this is how they

596
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: probably spend their Mondays. It's something so incredible. And every

597
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: night I think we've been blown away by the fans

598
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: and how interactive they are, how much they are cheering

599
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: or booing sometimes, and it's really cool to see. I

600
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: wish we could videotape just the fan reaction and the

601
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 1: audience throughout the entire shows. It's really cool. I want

602
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: to cry. Miss it so much. I think I'm glad

603
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 1: that that's the clip that that played. You sang that

604
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: part because I remember talking about that, and I think

605
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 1: that's what was so cool is we do this podcast.

606
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: We only see us social media. We're reading comments or

607
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 1: we're seeing you know whatever, dms. But that's the first time,

608
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 1: even afar, it's like such a it's a limited amount

609
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 1: of people to get to come. So Bachelor Live on

610
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: Stage is almost like a fan appreciation tour where you

611
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: get to see the people who watch every Monday night,

612
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: who make the show what it is, who make like

613
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: us as contestants on the show what we are, and

614
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: so it's it was pretty cool to see people like

615
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 1: to see the fans and I don't and there's nothing

616
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: else like that that exists. Yeah, so that's pretty cool.

617
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: And that's where it's especially lately because we've been so

618
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: removed and it is just basically social media where you

619
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 1: are interacting with people from vaterination. I don't give them

620
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: enough credit for like the great, amazing people out there.

621
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: There's so much just support and love that, Like, it's

622
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: just special when people like could come to the tour

623
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: and feel like they were finally part of the Bachelor

624
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 1: world for a night, whether it was the girls competing

625
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: on stage who you know, we would come to their

626
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 1: towns and they finally like could get dressed up and

627
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: feel beautiful for a night and feel seen and heard

628
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: and appreciated. And then to have the fans be able

629
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: to interact and give their feedback of who they like

630
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 1: and who you know they want to see the lead

631
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: succeed with. It's just it's something really special, and you know,

632
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 1: I've missed it. It's been well over a year since

633
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: that ended, and hearing that back in the excitement, like

634
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 1: I just It took me back to just Night by Night,

635
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: like how Ben and I felt and how much we

636
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 1: loved it and we formed like the special family on

637
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:20,280
Speaker 1: the road and you know it. So long story short,

638
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going to happen about five on stage.

639
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,720
Speaker 1: I think we're hopeful it'll come back in twenty twenty

640
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: two early on, So fingers crossed, I'm going to manifest

641
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: it now because I have to say I did not

642
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: I know, I didn't Minnosa Diva. We both did not

643
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 1: get enough of that tour bus life. We still want

644
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 1: to live like Lady Gaga for a few months. So

645
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: we're going to manifest it now that it's coming back

646
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 1: bigger and stronger and better next year. That's right, Yeah, absolutely,

647
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. It's happening the year. M okay, so

648
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: the next one. This is a pretty cool moment most

649
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 1: of the time, the times, the guests that we have

650
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: on the show, our former contestants, former leads. It's but

651
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: then I felt like we stepped into having fans that

652
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: were celebrities on this show, and this was a big one.

653
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: We thought we were bringing someone on because they were

654
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 1: on a judge on listen to your heart and little

655
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: did we know that they were a big fan. Check

656
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: this one out. Okay, Kesha, we have to ask you,

657
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: how is your experience being on this show? Because this

658
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 1: is the first time you've been affiliated with the Bachelor franchise.

659
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: It's quite an experience. You're talking to two former bachelorettes here.

660
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 1: How was it for you? I know, I'm like a

661
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 1: little geeking out because I have to tell you I'm

662
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 1: such a fan, Like I've been like a secret fan

663
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 1: for a very long time. Me and my girlfriends, we

664
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: always like get drunken watch the Bachelor and Bachelorte. Always

665
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 1: the Bachelorette is way more entertaining. I love how you

666
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 1: a woman has the power. I love that, Kesha. I

667
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 1: wish you could see my face right now because I

668
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:07,359
Speaker 1: have the biggest grin. That was a wow moment. Oh seriously,

669
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:11,839
Speaker 1: Like even re listening to that back, I'm still blown away. Like, Kesha, wait,

670
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: you love this show. You know who we are what

671
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: it's crazy and oh man, that's the cool thing. And

672
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: I think the fact that listen to your heart came

673
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 1: at such a good time, like right when the world

674
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 1: was really shutting down and people had no idea how

675
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 1: long quarantine this pandemic was gonna last. It was a

676
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 1: new show that I think brought people together in a

677
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: different way but allowed us to branch out and not

678
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 1: just talk to Cass but to talk to actual celebrities

679
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: and talented so talentedly like talented musicians. It was just

680
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 1: a really cool thing for us, I think personally to

681
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 1: be able to have Kesha on and just like kick

682
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 1: it with her right so down to earth, such like

683
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 1: totally cool vibe. And I think what's what's fun too

684
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:02,280
Speaker 1: is you're starting to now see people not beaten by people,

685
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: I mean, like celebrities, not be ashamed to say that

686
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 1: they're in Bachelor Nation. And so I think that's what

687
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,359
Speaker 1: was fun about Kesha saying, like she said, I secretly

688
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 1: used to watch it. Now people are like, I'm in

689
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 1: this thing, you know, just like you are with other

690
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:19,240
Speaker 1: reality shows like Housewives or vander pump Roles or whatever

691
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: it may be, Summer House. So it was fun that

692
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: she owned it, she was a fan of us. It's like,

693
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:29,399
Speaker 1: you never know who is watching this show out there, right,

694
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: So that's that was a pretty cool moment. And you guys,

695
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 1: she's one of you. That's the thing. She's one of you,

696
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 1: So there's there are plenty of others out there, And

697
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: I hope that you know, as the show continues podcasts,

698
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:45,399
Speaker 1: that more people who you know, like when worlds cross over,

699
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: That's what I hear people say all the time, Oh

700
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: my gosh, my two worlds are crossing over. So I

701
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,280
Speaker 1: hope that we're able to cross your world's over even

702
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 1: more by bringing in someone who's a super fan of

703
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: the show, but you might be a fan of something

704
00:37:56,520 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 1: of their artistry in another way. Yes, all right, Well,

705
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 1: this next episode that we had was I think for

706
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: me personally one of the most life changing impactful ones.

707
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 1: It really truly, to be honest, was just such a

708
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 1: catalyst for change in my life personally, and hopefully for

709
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,479
Speaker 1: many of you listening it was for you as well.

710
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: I think it was our most listened to episode to date.

711
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 1: I could be wrong, but I believe it was the

712
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 1: number one. So this was the one where Rachel I

713
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 1: sat down after the blackout Tuesday, after George Floyd was murdered,

714
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 1: where we really set the stage for an important conversation

715
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: about racism and just overall race and diversity within the

716
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 1: Bachelor franchise. Batchel donation as a whole. So listen in.

717
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 1: We aren't new to this, it's just now because of

718
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 1: everything that's happening in the world, we have your attention.

719
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: And so since we do have your attention, it's so

720
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 1: important that Becca and I address this right now and

721
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 1: we show we give an example of what it is

722
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: to be a black woman and a white woman and

723
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,280
Speaker 1: to sit down with each other and have a mutual

724
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 1: respect for one another and have these meaningful conversations to

725
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 1: hopefully create change, because that's what we want to do.

726
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: We want to talk to each other and hopefully reach

727
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,359
Speaker 1: our batter Nation community. And maybe you can then go

728
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 1: out and have these uncomfortable conversations with some of your friends,

729
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 1: some of your family members, your co workers, and so

730
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: hopefully we can all work together to create this change

731
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 1: that is necessary for our country. And that one was

732
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: that one aired June ninth of twenty twenty, and it

733
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,919
Speaker 1: is one that's still to this day I think people

734
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: should listen into and re listen to. And it's one

735
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: that I still re listen to to learn from, or

736
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: to take note from, or to see us together, you know,

737
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 1: sometimes having different opinions and backgrounds and thoughts and to

738
00:39:57,960 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: still be able to come together and have meeting ful,

739
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: impactful conversations. Yeah. I mean, I just just thinking of

740
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 1: my mindset during that time. I was like in a

741
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 1: really really dark place, but I remember wanting to have

742
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 1: a conversation where we could reach people that needed to

743
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 1: be reached. You know, It's a different audience than on

744
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 1: higher learning or maybe something else that I do. And

745
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,840
Speaker 1: I feel like people value your opinion, Becca, they value

746
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:35,240
Speaker 1: my opinion and to come together during such a tough

747
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 1: time that our country was in or what we were

748
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: going through personally, and to be able to be bigger

749
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 1: than that and have that hard conversation. I'm so proud

750
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 1: of this episode. It is by far my favorite, and

751
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: would I still get people who will have randomly stumbled

752
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 1: across it and said, hey, I don't watch The Bachelor,

753
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 1: I don't listen to your podcast. But somebody forwarded this

754
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 1: to me. Somebody brought this to my attention. And that's

755
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 1: what I mean when earlier in this podcast, when I

756
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: talk about this, what we do can be bigger than

757
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:18,240
Speaker 1: The Bachelor because of what we bring our own personal experience, realness,

758
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:22,280
Speaker 1: rawness to this podcast. And so I think that that

759
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 1: is the highlight of it. To me. I never thought

760
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: we would be having that type of conversation. Hopefully they're

761
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 1: more conversations like that to come, and I hope we

762
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:37,359
Speaker 1: inspired a lot of people, yeah, to do and be

763
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: better from that one. And I think too, I mean,

764
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 1: as you said, you know, people will still stumble upon

765
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 1: it and listen to it and reach out to and

766
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 1: same for me, like people still will be in my

767
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 1: DMS every now and again and they'll send it to

768
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 1: me and they'll be like, this clip really resonated with me,

769
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:56,360
Speaker 1: or you know, I look like you and my family

770
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: grew up in the South and this is kind of

771
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 1: our situation, whatever it might be. But this a lot

772
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 1: me to have a conversation. And that's one thing that

773
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 1: starting here, you know, June ninth of twenty twenty, and

774
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 1: knowing you know, like this is this is the starting point.

775
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 1: But I need to continue these conversations not only on

776
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 1: a public platform, but in my white circles back home

777
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: and with people that don't always see eye to eye,

778
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 1: and to just keep continuing this conversation, keep pushing forward.

779
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 1: That's probably been one of the most I think impactful

780
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 1: things just in my life that I've learned I can

781
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 1: do when with others. And so the fact that people

782
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: still to this stable will reach out and say, you know,

783
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: we learned something, or we had this takeaway, or maybe

784
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 1: I could apply this in the future, that's what's really important.

785
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 1: That's that's the special thing. And I don't think when

786
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: we sat down at that point we knew what it

787
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 1: could potentially turn into or what it could be. So

788
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:54,279
Speaker 1: it's been very very unique, interesting to see. But still

789
00:42:54,400 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 1: one again that you know, almost a year later, still apply, right,

790
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:05,799
Speaker 1: there's still yeah, absolutely absolutely applies. It's funny because when

791
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:09,359
Speaker 1: when we were going to come into that podcast, I

792
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:11,440
Speaker 1: was mad at the franchise and so like I had

793
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 1: written out this whole thing and I was like, this

794
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 1: is what I'm gonna say, and I think I started

795
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 1: that way, but then it turned into like what was

796
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 1: really weighing on my heart as well, and so um yeah, no,

797
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 1: I'm just like I'm just thinking about it, like I'm

798
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 1: trying not to go back to that place. It was

799
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:33,280
Speaker 1: such a dark place. But I'm so glad something good

800
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 1: came out out of that moment. All right, bad, you're

801
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,839
Speaker 1: happy our listeners, We do have one more and one

802
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 1: that's very important because it's not only with a fan

803
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:44,320
Speaker 1: favorite that we had from Matt season, but it's also

804
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 1: an impactful episode that we had with Abigail because she

805
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:49,720
Speaker 1: you know, as you know if you've watched Matt season,

806
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 1: she is a member of the Harrying impaired community, and

807
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 1: it was very much more so about inclusivity and really

808
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 1: sharing her story with the world and having people within

809
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 1: her community feel like they finally have a voice and

810
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 1: they could be part of the vaterination, if you will,

811
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 1: so take a listen. I mean, it was amazing. I

812
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 1: think just the traveling to get where we were in

813
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 1: the quarantine process, I think it really just made all

814
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:19,319
Speaker 1: of us just really appreciate just that human connection of

815
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 1: you know, hugging somebody talking to somebody reading their lips

816
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 1: when they're talking. So I think it really just made

817
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 1: us really appreciate all the efforts that went into this

818
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 1: bubble and making it safe for us to date in

819
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 1: a way that we're used to, and especially for me,

820
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 1: because you know, it's just wearing a mask in general,

821
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 1: it's very hard because I do rely on lip reading,

822
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: and so the fact that I could just talk to Matt,

823
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 1: you know, the first time without a mask on and

824
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 1: not have to, you know, ask him what you know

825
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 1: the very first time I'm meeting him, because you know,

826
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:56,800
Speaker 1: you just really want that moment to be as special

827
00:44:56,840 --> 00:45:02,400
Speaker 1: as possible. I remember that moment hit me and I thought, man,

828
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 1: the things we take for granted. Gosh, like, never did

829
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 1: it even cross my mind that wearing a mask takes

830
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 1: away the ability for her to read lips like I

831
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:16,240
Speaker 1: things you don't have to worry about. We take advantage

832
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:19,360
Speaker 1: of it. It was such a slap in the face

833
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:23,280
Speaker 1: for me. And that's why her being on the show

834
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 1: is so powerful and it opens our eyes so much,

835
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 1: and that's why representation is so important. That's why representation matters.

836
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 1: And she should have been a Betty I'm gonna say it,

837
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 1: she should have been a Betting lost opportunity. Well, I

838
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:39,879
Speaker 1: will say after that episode two, I had reached out

839
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:41,879
Speaker 1: to her, just thinking her. I try to think most

840
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 1: people that come on, you know, unless they're you're better

841
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: than me, unless they're terrible. But but I did DM

842
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:49,719
Speaker 1: her and I was just like, look, you know, you

843
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 1: have my full support if you if if they want

844
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 1: you as bad Sharrette. Um, yeah, And that's the thing,

845
00:45:56,520 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 1: you know, during that season we had not so great contestants,

846
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 1: but we also did have a lot of incredible women,

847
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 1: great great women like Abigail, Maggie, just so many more

848
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: people with different life stories that can open your eyes

849
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 1: and your views and have you learned something? And so yeah,

850
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: to play along, Like you know when you mentioned it

851
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:19,800
Speaker 1: was like a slap in the face after having her on,

852
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:22,839
Speaker 1: I tried to pay attention going out to dinner. How

853
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 1: often is it harder for you to place an order?

854
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 1: Have you know, like hear what your server is trying

855
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 1: to say to you? Like so many times I'm like what,

856
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:33,839
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I missed that. And you know, and I

857
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:36,840
Speaker 1: can't even imagine being Abigail where that's so you know,

858
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 1: she relies on that so much more. And so I

859
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:41,800
Speaker 1: think it was a really special episode to have her on.

860
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:43,319
Speaker 1: I'm glad that we had her on early in the

861
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:46,719
Speaker 1: season before all of the like chaos really panned out

862
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:49,880
Speaker 1: for Matt and some of the women. But yeah, that

863
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 1: was a good one. Um and where you say that

864
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:55,320
Speaker 1: this is exactly why we need more inclusivity and representation.

865
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 1: She is a great example of that. So Abigail, if

866
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 1: you're out there. You always have our sport and you

867
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 1: ever become Betty, we have your back girlfriend. So those

868
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: are our top ten happy hour happy moments. I don't

869
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: say all happy, because I think some we're you know, meaningful. Yeah, yeah,

870
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:17,759
Speaker 1: they're all They were all meanful? Great? Could we could

871
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 1: have done ten more? So many great moments from this

872
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 1: this show. Oh man, Well, I'm gonna say it now

873
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 1: and I'm going to say probably seventeen times next week.

874
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 1: I can't believe it's almost the one hundredth episode. Rachel.

875
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:32,399
Speaker 1: It has been an absolute pleasure and blast being able

876
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:35,160
Speaker 1: to do this alongside you. And before we go, I

877
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:36,920
Speaker 1: know that you had a message that you wanted to

878
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:38,800
Speaker 1: share with all of our listeners, so I'm going to

879
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 1: give you the mic. Yeah. First of all, it's been

880
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:45,399
Speaker 1: a pleasure for me to be working with you as well.

881
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 1: It doesn't feel like work, but I guess technically it

882
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 1: is because we get paid to do this. But you know,

883
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:55,799
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make this short and sweep. All good things

884
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 1: must come to an end, and I feel like certain

885
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:02,479
Speaker 1: things run their course, and for me, I have run

886
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 1: my course when it comes to the podcast. You know,

887
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:10,320
Speaker 1: we started off this podcast talking about how much fun

888
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 1: it is and and it is and the community that

889
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 1: we've started, and we're already here with the hundred episodes

890
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:20,400
Speaker 1: and I'm proud of it and what it's become. And

891
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 1: it started off with Ali, who's fantastic. I feel like

892
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 1: I don't give her enough praise. And then Ali had

893
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:28,760
Speaker 1: to go and you came in and you like didn't

894
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 1: miss a beat, And that's been a lot of fun

895
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 1: to get to see our friendship growth through the podcast,

896
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 1: just to have fun with all the new blood that's

897
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 1: coming in from the show, to work through hard moments,

898
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:43,840
Speaker 1: to come here and vent when we're going through something

899
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:46,480
Speaker 1: like that's what the podcast gives you, that community. But

900
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 1: for me, you know, I've you know, I've I've been

901
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 1: struggling and there's no that's no secret, and it's been

902
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 1: really really hard for me lately. And a lot of

903
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 1: the things that we talk about on this podcast are

904
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:01,000
Speaker 1: also about taking care of your self and finding your

905
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 1: peace and protecting protecting that piece and protecting your mental health.

906
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:09,720
Speaker 1: And so for me, I just feel like I've come

907
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 1: to the end of doing the podcast and I'm glad

908
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 1: that I'm leaving on a high note where it's a

909
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:20,239
Speaker 1: hundredth episode. It's such a big milestone. This is the

910
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:24,319
Speaker 1: first podcast I've ever done. And for me, you know,

911
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 1: it's just a step, it's a stepping away. You know,

912
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 1: you should never say never. I'm definitely closing the door,

913
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:33,279
Speaker 1: but I'm not like locking it and throwing away the key.

914
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 1: It's just I have to for me walk away. And

915
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:41,320
Speaker 1: I feel like this, this podcast is an amazing hands

916
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 1: with you. For you, I just feel like this is

917
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 1: at a place where I can walk away and I

918
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:47,880
Speaker 1: know it's all good and I know it's going to

919
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:50,880
Speaker 1: be great, and You've allowed me to have the space

920
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 1: to step away when I needed to. And I would

921
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 1: listen to the podcast on the side and I'm like, oh,

922
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 1: she's got this, and like for me, it's like you

923
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 1: can walk away. Now I can walk away. I'm doing

924
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:06,120
Speaker 1: some other things. I'm sure I'll pop in from time

925
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 1: to time to say hello, to read somebody, to pop

926
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 1: off to vent. No, actually I probably won't because y'all

927
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 1: scared that out of me. Right those days are gone, y'all.

928
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:20,319
Speaker 1: Remember if you if you want to remember what was

929
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 1: with Rachel, go listen to the first moment we recap

930
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 1: today that was listen to that, Rachel, to this rate

931
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 1: to right now, She's scared to have an opinion. She's

932
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 1: scared to say it's scared to be aheadline. No, no, no, no,

933
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 1: In all seriousness, it's just time. It's just time for

934
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:42,399
Speaker 1: me to move on. And I will be supporting you
