I know what it's like now because 0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:30.040 I've been jaded a bit after being at a lot 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:32.520 of shows. When someone yells at your hometown, you feel 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:35.520 excited and you're like, oh, so that I've lost. However, 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:37.640 I wasn't expecting the rhyme with Bobby Bones and I 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:42.160 was like, oh, you worm or something. It was. It 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:43.600 was a it was a low hanging fruit. We had 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:46.279 to get it. Um. So let's kind of start at 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:50.360 the beginning here. I know you guys from knowing Kane Brown, right, 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:53.560 I think Kane is what interest who introduced me to 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:56.760 you guys? So, Garrett, what's the situation. How do you 0:04:56.800 --> 0:05:01.920 guys know Kine? Well Colton, Colton can probably tell you that. So, um, 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:05.240 we know came from back in two thousand and thirteen. 0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:08.159 We were all on the TV show The X Factor 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:11.599 together and that's kind of where Wrestless Roads started, and 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:15.720 we were kind of all we all met each other 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:19.400 in Los Angeles and Hollywood week and it was we 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:21.360 were kind of all pitted against each other, or so 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:24.240 we thought, and then um, coming to find out no, 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:27.279 they were all along trying to set up this for 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:31.200 this four person group, and Kane was supposed to be 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:34.240 in Wrestless Road, but then Kane decided he wanted to 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:37.960 go on and to solo stuff, and he became the 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:42.640 King Brown that everybody knews and loves. And we continued. So, Zach, 0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:46.080 when you're from whichaw, Kansas? My family actually lives there now, 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:48.560 but I was born and raised in Iowa, then lived 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:51.120 in Michigan and Pennsylvania. My dad, he's a choir director, 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:53.920 so he got a job at Wichita State University. So 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:56.400 that's why I call home now. Okay, shocker, shout out. 0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:59.560 So you're home now? Is Wichita? Well? I just call 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:02.440 home where my family lives. From home? Do you live here? 0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:05.000 That's tough the thing where? So you moved around a 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:07.560 whole lot and your dad was a choir instructor. Yeah, 0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:11.760 he's a choir director. So does was he hard on you? No? Honestly, 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:14.080 I wouldn't actually ever let him hear me sing. It 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:16.280 was kidding. Its weird, I don't know what it was like. 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:17.880 I wanted to prove it on my own or something. 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:19.920 I would never let him help me sing. And I 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:24.039 eventually joined choir myself. He wasn't my teacher, but I 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:26.200 joined because I was moving school so much. I needed 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:28.640 to do something to kind of make friends, and I 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:30.240 kind of fit in so I just kind of kept 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.080 up with it, and yeah, it's my dream honestly to 0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:35.200 do like a choir remix to one of our songs 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:36.880 and have my dad come out and like conduct the 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:40.320 choir so with a stick. He's got this stick. He 0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:42.760 actually got him a custom one for Christmas. There it's 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:46.800 called but Tom. I don't know, actually don't know, but yeah, 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:50.240 the choir guy's son. You should know, you're yeah, you're 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:52.400 you're you're his son, and you should be asking, Yeah, 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:54.279 I've never been in a choir before. Yeah, he's got 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:57.720 the stick and everything. So rest the name Restless Road? 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:01.640 What is the what's the genesis of that? I wish 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:03.479 it had a really cool story. I don't know what 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:05.720 came first, the name or the meaning. Let's make up. 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:09.000 Let's just make up a name that they've really told us, 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:10.680 you know, on the show. They said, hey, we need 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:12.360 a name by the end of the day. And we 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:14.880 were coming up with just everything we could and nothing 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:18.080 was sticking. And we just said Restless Road and the 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:21.320 guy was like, man, that sounds like some and we 0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:23.520 never looked back, you know, And now now I feel 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:25.280 like it kind of has taken on its own meaning. 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:28.120 This whole journey to get to this point in life. 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:30.600 In general, for everybody, it's it's a restless road. It's 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:32.320 it's you never know what you're gonna get. And we 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:35.280 have this whole catchphrase and it's called keep your eyes 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:37.760 on the road, and it's just all about staying focused 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:39.800 on your dream and your goal. And that's kind of 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:41.520 so it's kind of I feel like developed the meaning. 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:43.560 I'm gonna give you a meaning. So when you guys 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:47.000 met you, you hit it off, and you all were 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:49.040 like on ancestry dot com or one of those sites, 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:51.239 and you realize when you look back into your history 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:54.680 that all of your grandparents lived on Restless Avenue, but 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:58.840 Wrestless Avenue didn't sound good. So crazy coincidence that they 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:00.360 all live in the same place because they were all 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:03.800 fighting for America in World War One and they lived 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:05.720 on Wrestless Avenue. And you're like, wow, we can't believe 0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:07.440 that we're all matched together. This has got to be 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:10.600 some some sign from God. And so instead of Wrestless Avenue, 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:12.760 you're like, let's just say Wrestless Road because it sounds better. 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:17.760 And then now representing USA U three, Wrestless Road, that's 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:19.280 your new story. You can have it free. Well I'm 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:21.560 glad you said that because my free trial on answer 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:23.920 try dot Com ran out before I got Okay, that's great. 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:26.000 We know what's really ironic though, that you say that 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:28.800 my grandpa after we were on the show, he changed 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:30.760 the name of my home, the road that we lived 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:33.240 one in our hometown. And it's not a total lie, 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:36.600 so let's go literally live. He really did change it, 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:38.960 and then he got really mad because my grandpa's like 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:42.800 kind of a recluse, so he doesn't like people. And 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:45.440 so there was two like, there was people stopping by 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:47.320 because when we were rolled in the show, people were 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:49.679 wanting to stop by and see where this was. And 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:52.560 he went out there and chopped the whole sign down 0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:55.200 and never put it back out. So I don't know 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:57.600 if it's still legally Wrestless Road, but we're gonna we're 0:08:57.600 --> 0:08:59.640 gonna say it is our Wrestless avenue. This was That 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:03.000 whole situation works. So what's the living situation with you guys? 0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:05.480 You guys live together. Me and Zach do. We live 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:08.000 over in East Nashville and Colton. He has a beautiful family. 0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:09.720 He's married, he has two little girls. Why don't you 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:11.640 move with them. He's got to have room now, I don't. 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:13.040 I don't know. I don't know if he he I 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:15.280 don't know if he can handle two more the poncles. Dude, 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:18.880 So are you guys known as uncle? Oh? Yeah, there 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:21.840 we're Uncle Gee and Uncle Zach. Yeah. And your kids 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:24.840 are how old? Two and four? I mean you're like sixteen? 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:26.760 How do you have to kick kids? I know, man, 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:32.480 I've been married for seven years too already. Wow. And 0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:35.960 so yeah, and you grew up where West Virginia? Now, 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:38.200 did you ever make the walk to Tennessee? And I 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:42.960 say that because Eddie did from West Virginia. I know 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:46.560 a few people that's done it. Um, y'all are a 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:50.160 different breed of people. Man, I lived I lived out there, 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:52.520 and I don't think that you couldn't catch me walking 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:56.200 that far. It's it is a long walk. Colton. What 0:09:56.320 --> 0:10:00.600 what's your hometown? Like? Small? Real small? Um? We had uh, 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:04.600 we have one one stop sign, one gas station. Um, 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:08.520 and it there's about two. Last time they did a census, 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:10.520 there was two hundred and seventy two people in the town. 0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:14.480 So everybody knows everyone. Um. But it's it's honestly really 0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:17.400 cool because I feel like, uh, just West Virginia in general, 0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:20.040 they tend to rally around people that are doing stuff 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:21.600 because not a lot of people get out of West 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:25.600 Virginia and and do something. So, um, it's been it's 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:28.079 been a really awesome experience and being able to go back. 0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:32.360 They actually, I don't know if this is this is 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:35.320 it's weird, but they put I seen you have a 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:38.040 sign in your hometown and they put home of Colton 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:40.920 pack um in front of mine, which was a really cool, 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:43.960 really cool moment um. So they're they're definitely proud. It's 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:46.760 it's it's a really cool, a really cool thing, and 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:49.000 I love to get to go back when I can. So, 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:52.839 so you're from West Virginia. And then Zach like where 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:54.600 it is? I know you see you families in which 0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:56.760 town now? But to you, where's home? As a kid, 0:10:57.679 --> 0:10:59.840 you gotta be you gotta pick a place where would 0:10:59.880 --> 0:11:02.800 it be? It's really hard. Um, I've always said I 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:04.480 kind of feel like I don't have a hometown. Maybe 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:06.480 we'll write a song about it. That's crazy that you 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:08.960 feel that you feel like you don't have a hometown. Um, 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:10.960 but in a lot of ways, it's It's something that 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:13.360 my dad would would apologize for later on and be like, 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:15.120 I'm really sorry that, you know, we had to move around. 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:18.439 But I actually really value and appreciate that experience because 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:20.240 it really forced me to come out of my shell 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:24.679 and uh just adapts a new situations and I've applied 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:27.120 that a lot to what we're doing today. Um, but 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:31.080 I feel sad for him. I feel sad for you 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:35.360 being acquired director, you know, military expect I feel like 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:38.480 you have a hometown. Yeah, well, I got friends in 0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:40.760 a lot of places I got you know, I loved 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:42.920 my Michigan friends. That's kind of where I feel like 0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:45.280 I that's where I started singing. That's where I did 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:50.160 this time, East Lansing. Okay, there it is. There's his hometown. Okay. 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:51.920 My question would be if like you were playing Monday 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:55.280 night football and he's like, you know, I'm from home 0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:58.200 to Mountain Pine Ark and tell Bob. You'd be like, oh, 0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:00.000 I don't have a hometown. We'd be like, I got 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:02.839 change because I feel sat any watch football now, you know, 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:06.320 but I like it. I like your attitude about it. Um, 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:12.480 whenever you guys started playing together, did you feel like, oh, man, 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:14.240 I kind of wanted to be solo. Now we're together, 0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:16.800 it was that that kind of a process to get 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:18.480 through or we like, man, we actually are a lot 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:22.000 better together than we were by ourselves. This is way 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:23.800 more fun being a group. This, Yeah, it would be. 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:26.800 I just think, you know, being a group obviously comes 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:29.080 with more challenges. You're gonna have to make some sacrifices 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:31.040 and I'm sure there's things that we don't even know 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:33.480 about down the road we're gonna have to work together on. 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:37.080 But for me, it's just so much fun there. There's 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:39.319 no joke. They're my best friends and we and everyone 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:42.360 thinks that we're brothers, but it feels like it. And 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:45.840 it's just we we love making music together and we 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:48.520 just love what we do, and um, you still like 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:51.160 each other. Yeah, we haven't had a we haven't had 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:54.400 a blowout yet. You really haven't, and you we really 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:56.320 have it. But we're honestly, I feel like we're pretty 0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:59.600 we're pretty good about like communication skill. As soon as Yeah, 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:02.360 if something and it's like a problems arising immediately, we 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:04.560 just we just say how we feel. When we work 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:07.000 it out, we say, we say it, we get past it, 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:10.320 and we move on. Is there a voting protocol, Like, 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:13.480 if hey to one you know, wins. How do you 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:15.240 guys do that? Well? I think I think what's cool 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:17.319 about us is, you know, over the years that we've 0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:19.840 been together, like we all came from different places, we 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:22.920 have very different voices and styles. But I think that's 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:24.720 what's cool is we kind of bounce off each other, 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:27.199 and you know, it's it's cool to hear their perspective 0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:29.760 because I might think, you know, something sounds cool, but 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:32.600 they they'll have a different perspective, and you know, it's 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:35.200 it's cool to bounce ideas off each other and then 0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:36.800 kind of be like, hey, maybe I wasn't right and 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:39.760 maybe that was a little cooler. So you're from tuscalost Alabama, 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:43.080 I am, how's that working out for you? Well? I 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:45.960 always tell people this, um, because you know, people either 0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:48.080 love or hate that you're from Tuscalosa. They're like, oh, 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:50.520 real tied or they're like, oh dude, no. But uh 0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:53.040 when I turned to when I started talking, my parents said, 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:54.840 you can either live with us here at home, or 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:56.600 we're gonna take you to the woods and you can 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:58.240 figure it out. You got you gotta be a real 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:00.640 tied fan, I said, okay, so we're forced into it. Yeah. 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:02.440 I grew up there. I was there till I was eighteen, 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:04.640 moved to Nashville after, so I kind of have to 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:07.160 be Yeah. See, I am not. I feel a bit 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:10.080 the opposite. I actually really enjoy going to Tuscaloosa. But 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:12.160 I am not an Alabama fan at all. But I'm 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:16.440 just jealous that you guys are really good, and so 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:19.680 I take that on on you. My hatred is jealousy. Yeah, 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.240 I don't know, it's it's been weird, like with with 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:25.120 all the football success. You know, it's been weird watching 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:27.800 sports growing up because when I was a young kid, 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:30.400 we didn't have Nick Saban. I think he's a huge 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:32.840 part of that. But yeah, it was crazy seeing seeing 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:34.800 where they were and how they are now. It was 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:37.000 just a big change. And you get do three hometown 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:39.800 shows whenever you're touring, like, all right, we're gonna do it. Yeah, 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:42.160 Well there, I promise you. There's probably no chance we're 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:45.480 ever going to my hometown. There's there's not enough people. 0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:48.120 Yeah we will, definitely, we're going to Yeah, we gotta 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:50.320 go back. We are going to West Virginia. So I 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:52.760 kind of take West Virginia's my whole home. I feel 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:54.920 the same way about it, Arkansaw anywhere kan saw. This's 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:57.520 like exactly exactly you guys are all over. I'm looking 0:14:57.560 --> 0:14:59.040 at all these dates that you guys are doing. And 0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:03.600 so when you play live show and it's you three, like, 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:06.200 are you able to cover the whole? I mean musically, 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:08.360 you guys have it all right here with you three. 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:10.360 I mean, I'm sure you got a drummer, but like, what, 0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:14.360 what's what are you guys doing there on the set about? Um? Yeah, 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:17.720 So it's actually so Garrett plays guitar, Zach plays guitar, 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:21.640 I play guitar and piano. Um, and uh, it's really cool. 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:25.360 So I went to Um, the our lead guitar player 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:28.160 is actually from my high school. So he moved to Nashville. 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:30.800 I used to try to get him to to move 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:34.320 to Nashville early on because he's just unbelievable at what 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:37.240 he does. And um, he actually moved to Nashville where 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:39.960 I did. After all that time, and then, uh, when 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:43.880 the opportunity arise, I told him, I said, man, we'd 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:45.760 love to have you in the band. And he's been 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:47.560 playing with us. So it's been really cool. To get 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:50.400 to see two people from the middle of nowhere, West 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:53.800 Virginia on on on the big stage show. I guess 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:57.240 I asked that because you know, you gotta pay people. True, 0:15:57.400 --> 0:16:00.800 you know, and at one point the Wrestless Road money 0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:02.960 is gonna be coming in pretty good. I hope right 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:04.880 now you're trying to figure it out. You know, he 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:07.600 got all those mouths to feed it is. That's very true. 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:09.560 That's very true. I mean right now, we do have 0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:11.400 a drummer in a in a lead guitar player, but 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:14.040 other than that, we can that's pretty full sounding. That's 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:16.320 pretty awesome. You guys can I hope you go and 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:19.280 see Wrestless Road because they have so many dates. Um 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:21.000 and we'll tell you just a second about that. But 0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:23.120 the thing that interests me to about new artists is 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:24.720 when they get asked to do something like The Bachelor, 0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:26.320 like to perform on that show, because I just feel 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:28.120 so awkward because do you have to do it over 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:30.760 and over again? We did it any way to dive 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:33.320 into this, Oh yeah, because that's that to me, that's 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:35.320 always fascinating. And have a few friends that have done 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:37.800 it and it just feels weird. So what who did 0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:40.200 they bring you in for and what was the scene? 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:44.520 We were episode four on Clayton's season, and all we 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:46.840 knew going in. We're huge fans of the show, by 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:48.240 the way, so when we found out, we were just 0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:50.120 so pumped to be there and we're asking, you have 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:51.320 to say that if you do it, like it's in 0:16:51.320 --> 0:16:54.600 the contract. Probably for eight or nine years now, we've 0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:57.640 watched it. Religious Oh yeah, we know. We knew all 0:16:57.640 --> 0:17:01.720 the facts, like we keep up, Okay, ask anything. We won't, 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:04.399 but I believe you. Yeah, it's the most dramatic season 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:08.320 of The Bachelor coming out coming up. Anyways, where do 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:11.080 they send you? Just la. We were actually in Houston, 0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:13.280 so we had finished the show. We were opening with Kane. 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:15.760 We finished the show, flew to Houston, and it was 0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:18.359 a date at this like farmhouse. It was a barbecue 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:21.600 date that they were on, and so during the daytime 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:24.000 portion we were kind of kept secret and we were 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:26.520 asking the producers a million questions. How's the show work? 0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:29.240 We had like a million questions. And then by the 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:32.000 time they ate dinner, I'm using air quotes because they 0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:35.359 don't actually eat the food. They eat dinner at around 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:39.280 midnight and then there's this big sliding door and we're 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:41.080 on the other side of it, and when the producers 0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:44.200 just like, hey, whenever that door opens, just start and 0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:46.960 the suspense was just killing us because we had to 0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:49.600 be totally silent. It was like eight minutes went by. 0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:51.359 We didn't tell us. They're like, they're like, just watch 0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:54.080 that door and be ready to play, and whenever it opens, 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:56.200 just scowed it. And we're like, I'm like sitting there 0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:58.879 for I've met you forty minutes, just waiting, waiting, waiting, 0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:01.560 and they're it's dead silent. Everybody's whispering, and then the 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:04.359 producers like out her earpiece and she's like she's crying. 0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:09.040 The girl's crying. She's like goddard and uh, the door 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:11.760 finally opened, yeah, and they walked through and they were 0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:13.840 mean five feet away from us and just went for 0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:18.240 the instant makeout. And uh, that's really what was what 0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:20.800 was challenging was was keeping the straight face because you 0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:22.600 can't you have to look at them, you can't not 0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:25.120 look at them, but then you feel weird both ways. 0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:26.760 But it's weird both ways. You don't look at them, 0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:28.400 You're like, were you performing to them? But then they're 0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:30.600 like making out you know, and then then you're just like, 0:18:30.720 --> 0:18:32.320 we have my morow for this, you only do it 0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:34.800 one time? Well, we did it a few did they 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:37.880 have to keep kissing? Well, so what was funny? Yeah, 0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:43.199 right after Clayton did this big, massive speech and I 0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:45.000 mean it was like it was it was perfect. It 0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:48.480 was the perfect speech. And then the producers go, can 0:18:48.520 --> 0:18:51.080 you please say exactly what you said, just like you 0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:53.239 said it? He said, I like those words you use. 0:18:53.280 --> 0:18:55.520 I like to use more of those words. So instead 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:57.840 of doing the speech, they were just like, now we're 0:18:57.840 --> 0:18:59.959 just gonna make outens. So then they continue to do 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:02.320 that and he kept trying to have to stop them, 0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:05.120 and yeah, it was we got like two or three 0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:07.320 minutes with him off camera, and they did seem to 0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:10.440 be like all over each other. I don't even know 0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:13.640 the bitter end. And she was Rachel, I'm not gonna, 0:19:14.000 --> 0:19:16.320 you know, spoil anything, but Colton, we don't have the 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:18.840 final wait, I don't even know if this is like 0:19:20.760 --> 0:19:23.440 it came out like what a week, oh like two 0:19:23.440 --> 0:19:25.000 weeks ago. If you saw it, it was the now 0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:27.920 biggest train wreck of a finale, Like the guy did 0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:31.600 probably you know, everything wrong, and uh, the girl that 0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:33.720 was a part of our day. She kind of got, 0:19:33.760 --> 0:19:35.840 you know, the short end of the stick, like she 0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:38.640 was her and the she was like second and third 0:19:38.640 --> 0:19:40.119 with the other girl. He just told him both. It 0:19:40.160 --> 0:19:42.879 made her the new bachelorette. Yeah, they gave her there 0:19:43.200 --> 0:19:45.280 another chance at The funny thing about the story is 0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:48.080
