I will let her share that. Where did 170 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: it take place? Uh, they were in Quebec City and 171 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: it was it just like a like a random part. 172 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: It was not like it was it a park. It 173 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: looked like a castle type of thing, but it was 174 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 1: kind of like a bridge thing. I think kind of 175 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: from the photos you can tell a little bit. Um, 176 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: But it was super sweet and he had like candles 177 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: up there and like they played like music and it 178 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: was really really beautiful. Well, we're here to have you 179 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: talk about your appearance on the Live Help I Suck 180 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,599 Speaker 1: a Dating podcast, which will be tomorrow night. But I 181 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: also wanted to talk to you a little bit before 182 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,439 Speaker 1: we get there about the upcoming Goat episode of Nick 183 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,839 Speaker 1: Fiall's season. Is it Is it weird at all for 184 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: Vanessa to like just be engaged and then have to 185 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 1: watch her season back and watch her engagement to Nick. Um, 186 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: I don't really think so, because the that was recorded 187 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: way before all this happened. So, if anything, I think 188 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 1: it's kind of weird that, like with her update with Josh, 189 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,199 Speaker 1: they won't be engaged on it and they are now. Um, 190 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: but yeah, is it weird for you? Like is are 191 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: you what's your emotions? Um? I went back and rewatched 192 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 1: my season and it was definitely not as terrifying as 193 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: I thought it would be, which was nice. Um, it's 194 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 1: a little nerve racking, of course, because like you're back 195 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,199 Speaker 1: on TV and you know, that opens up the floodgates 196 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: on everyone's opinions on everything about you in the like 197 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: thirties seconds that they see. Um. So yeah, it's been 198 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: nor bracking. I feel like no one who has been 199 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: on the show has been excited about these guy episodes hearing. No, 200 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: I don't think so either. It's not for most of us. 201 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: I mean, even if we find love on it, or 202 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: even if you know, we make great friends from or 203 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: even if we have a quote great at it, it 204 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,199 Speaker 1: still is a lot that you go through. So I 205 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: don't think, Yeah, I agree with you. I think most 206 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,079 Speaker 1: people are like, why why are we doing this, you know, 207 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: I think there's the level two where like most people 208 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: are thankful for it in some way. Right, it's either 209 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: enhanced our friendships, it's enhanced our relationships, and it's enhanced 210 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: our life. But you've also, just like anybody would expect you, 211 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: you've moved on. You know, you've either found new relationships 212 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: or you've started to invest into a career path that 213 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,959 Speaker 1: is either entertainment focused or it's not. And so to 214 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 1: pull back, like I wouldn't said it this way, I 215 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: would I had to watch my good episod I don't 216 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,079 Speaker 1: want to watch myself in College again, great experience. Loved 217 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,599 Speaker 1: every minute of it, but like if I had to 218 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: watch it, Yeah, if I had to watch it back, 219 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 1: that's like horrifying. And so the same thing happens with 220 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 1: these good episodes. You know, you're watching yourself kiss again 221 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: and those things. So I get it. Um, Taylor, tomorrow, 222 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 1: you know you are going to be on the Help 223 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,839 Speaker 1: I Secondating Life show HM.

I was like that was that was 258 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: really really great? You know. It's it's interesting, um, because 259 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: you look back on an experience and there's there's so 260 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: many elements to being on the show and being the bachelor, 261 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: Bachelor of being a contestant. It's never wracking. It's a 262 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: risk and if you summarize it all I think looking 263 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: back now and I don't know if you'd agree or disagree, 264 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: but it's like, hey, I just hope every body comes 265 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: on the show at least either can grow or say 266 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: they're glad they did it. Like the worst thing that 267 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: you could do would say, hey, I took this risk 268 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: to like create a story, to enhance life, to get 269 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: to know myself in it, and in a sense, it 270 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 1: like ruined me. And I think for Olivia, she's one 271 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 1: of the prime examples of somebody that, like when you 272 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: get hurt as deeply as she was hurt from the show, 273 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: you know, she cares and you know, like there's there's 274 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: a depth inside of her that just wants to belong 275 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 1: and it and it really I think even the fans 276 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: response to it that night was like I actually and 277 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: Olivia could attest this like I cried. I called her 278 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: and she was crying and I was cranks, like no 279 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: matter if I was associated with or not. It was 280 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: beautiful to see the fans response saying, hey, Olivia, welcome, 281 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 1: welcome like you, we love you. That's cool, that's good stuff. Yeah. Well, 282 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: and I don't think that every Bachelor thinks about it 283 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: in the way that you do, which I think was 284 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 1: part of what. You know, I had had conversations with 285 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: Nick and you know, knowing that the goat is coming 286 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 1: up and um was on his show and whatnot, and 287 00:15:55,520 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: you know, his his response more so to like me 288 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: being sent home was just kind of like, well, I 289 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: knew it didn't matter, Like I didn't really care because 290 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: I knew I wanted to be with Vanessa, and just 291 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: the fact that you have this like empathy for the 292 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: contestants that were on your season, I thought was just 293 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: very very kind of you, very decent of you. And 294 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 1: I know it meant a lot to Olivia for you 295 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: to like have her back in that way.

And but 330 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, you know, what better way to 331 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 1: air greatly and challenge myself with being vulnerable than to 332 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: go on a national reality data show and data total stranger. 333 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: Um So that piece to me. Um, There's so many 334 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: pieces of her work that really like resonate and stick 335 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 1: out to me, but certainly, like the most life changing 336 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: for me was taking on the like how do I 337 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,880 Speaker 1: dare greatly and that's what literally led me to going 338 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: on the show So cool, so very cool. So tomorrow, 339 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: when you're on the live podcast, we know that you 340 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: have a lot of insight, whether it's vulnerability or sex. 341 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 1: What is one thing that you feel like you still 342 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 1: need to learn a lot about and still need to 343 00:18:55,040 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 1: approve upon yourself to become a better data Um. Certainly, 344 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 1: I would say sitting in my independence. Um. I think 345 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 1: one of the things I struggle with in relationships is 346 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 1: when I get in one, it like becomes my whole identity. Um. 347 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 1: So I think navigating how to maintain your own sense 348 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 1: of independence while in a relationship is something I'm always 349 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: continuously working on, and in that it's developing interdependence. Um. 350 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: So for me, that interdependence is kind of like where 351 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: I talked about on Paradise of like being your own 352 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,200 Speaker 1: full puzzle. But I look at it more as like 353 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: even diagram now, So it's like I'm my own full 354 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,120 Speaker 1: circle here and my partners their own full circle here, 355 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 1: and when we come together as a ven diagram, we 356 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 1: still our own full people, right. But then we have 357 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 1: this like middle space where we have interdependence, where we 358 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 1: can rely on each other for things while still knowing 359 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:54,680 Speaker 1: that like our life and our identity exists outside of 360 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: each other. You are so fun to listen to. Where 361 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 1: can people know for real? Like I could just listen 362 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: to you and not speak for a while because you're 363 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: just full of knowledge. Where could people listen to you more? Um? 364 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: I try thank you? Actually? Um really smart in some areas, 365 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,479 Speaker 1: not at all in others. The main people, the main 366 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,919 Speaker 1: place that people can listen to me is my podcast 367 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: which is called Let's Talk About It um.

Florida is the only state 385 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:24,439 Speaker 1: that actually has regulations around being a sex therapist.

Lindyke is talking 415 00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:08,640 Speaker 1: about her new clothing line. Actually, this weekend I went 416 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 1: and hiked my first fourteen er in Colorado. You know 417 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:15,159 Speaker 1: what that is? Nolp Okay. So if you live in 418 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: Colorado or anywhere near the mountains, everybody always asks you 419 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 1: have you done a fourteen yet? Which means you've hiked 420 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 1: and summitted a mountain that's above fourteen thousand feet. So 421 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,360 Speaker 1: it's a long hike. It takes about a half a day. 422 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: You wake up super early to do it. It's not easy. Um, 423 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 1: and I did one this weekend. That's an accomplishment in itself. 424 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 1: I'm super proud of myself for doing it. However, here 425 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: is the story I want to share with you. Okay, 426 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 1: So I'm on this hike. I'm going down the mountain 427 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 1: and literally the trail walks alongside of like a thousand 428 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: foot drop off, Like it's like a I mean, it's 429 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 1: just straight down and the and the path is about 430 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 1: let's say, three to four ft wide, so you have 431 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: enough room to walk. It's not that scary, but it's 432 00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: I mean if you go off the side like you're 433 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 1: going down on the mountain, which happens like people, It 434 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: exists with people, right, it happens so sore on this 435 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 1: walk and there's a ton of dogs in the walk always, uh, 436 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: but a dog gets left alf off its leash and 437 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: there's a mountain goat and this dog runs off the 438 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 1: side of a mountain right in front of us after 439 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:29,199 Speaker 1: this go a dog. What Yeah, somebody's puppy runs right 440 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 1: off the side of a mountain after this goat. So 441 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: we're standing there. How did I hear go Because it 442 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 1: ran after a goat. So there's like a mountain goat. Um. 443 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 1: So this dog runs literally off the side of a 444 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 1: mountain so far down that like you can't see it anymore. 445 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,680 Speaker 1: It's that steep like you're looking over the cliff and 446 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: you can't see the dog. And this this the owner 447 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: is freaking out, obviously is super sad. And then we 448 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,640 Speaker 1: hear we hear the dog bark, but it's so far 449 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: down the mountain. This owner, so this is this represents 450 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: love to me. This owner, out of pure love for 451 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 1: their dog, literally like like climbs down this mountain side 452 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:11,120 Speaker 1: which is so dangerous after their dog and then grabs 453 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 1: the dog. Finds a dog five hundred feet below them 454 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: off the side of his cliff, and the dog is 455 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 1: only staying onto the cliff by a snow bank. So 456 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: there's like a snow build up and the dog had 457 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 1: like fallen down to the snow bank and was sitting 458 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 1: on it. The owner goes down and then out of 459 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 1: pure like fight or flight, crawls their way with their 460 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 1: dog back up to the trail to walk at home, 461 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,879 Speaker 1: right in front of us, all wild, wildest day. I 462 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 1: don't know, it's crazy weekend. How does this dog survive 463 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:48,159 Speaker 1: that drop? Uh? It probably actually like ran and it 464 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 1: just like never fell fully. And if it fell, then 465 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 1: it fell just a few feet because it was the 466 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 1: steepness of the cliff was like gradual until a certain point, 467 00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: and so they didn't put the dog. I mean, I 468 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: don't know, I to see, but I'm assuming the dog 469 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: to actually fall five feet. It ram probably you know, 470 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 1: four seventy five ft and then fell the last But 471 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 1: the dog was fine totally like just like stumbled and 472 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: likely down the yeah, and then got caught up on 473 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,120 Speaker 1: the snow bank and the owner was able to crawl down. 474 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 1: It was it was the wildest thing for the snow bank. 475 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,160 Speaker 1: What a wild thing to experience. I mean, my hands 476 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,159 Speaker 1: are sweating talking about it, Like what a wild thing 477 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 1: to experience in person. Um, But that was my weekend 478 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:34,439 Speaker 1: and obviously, Ashley the Bachelor headlines didn't stop this weekend 479 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 1: at all, and we have a lot to talk about. 480 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 1: I can't wait to hear from you. Everybody. Always I 481 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 1: asked me, you know, what's Ashley's insight? Like, it's always 482 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 1: above and beyond anything I could ever come up with. 483 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,440 Speaker 1: So the first headline this week is Joejoe Fletcher, Yes, 484 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,440 Speaker 1: Joe Joe Fletcher, the beloved contestant from the twentieth season 485 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: The Bachelor and then The Bachelorrette on season sixteen, is 486 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:58,959 Speaker 1: filling in for Chris Harrison as the host. I think 487 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 1: it's probably the first time Chris has ever not hosted 488 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 1: an episode of The Bachelor Bachelorette, and she will be 489 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: doing it for the next fourteen days. This according to 490 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 1: US Weekly. Yeah, okay, so actually Chris Harrison did have 491 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,680 Speaker 1: a fill in. I think it was another former contestant 492 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,879 Speaker 1: who filled in for him. And this was over a 493 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 1: decade ago. This is before I watched the show. Forgive 494 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 1: me for not remembering what season it was, um, but 495 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 1: I hear from a very inside source that Jojo was 496 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 1: supposed to go down to the Quinta for fourteen days. 497 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,400 Speaker 1: And this I was told like I was actually told 498 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 1: this before Harrison went on the trip to drop his 499 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:47,159 Speaker 1: kid off at college in Texas, So either they were 500 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:51,119 Speaker 1: planning on her filling in the entire time, Like if 501 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: he was going to go to Texas, that was the 502 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,680 Speaker 1: plan he was going to have to quarantine for fourteen days. 503 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: It seemed a little fishy to me though, because the 504 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,880 Speaker 1: other quarantines down there have not been fourteen days, They've 505 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:08,359 Speaker 1: been about seven. And usually with two negative tests you 506 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 1: are able to start roaming about. And I do want 507 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 1: to just emphasize again that it is so safe down there. 508 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,159 Speaker 1: You are quarantine to your room, can't see anyone, can 509 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 1: see producers, not even with a mask on um. You 510 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 1: can't go out to get food that the food is 511 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:30,160 Speaker 1: delivered to your door, and you have to have two 512 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 1: negative COVID tests up the nose, two nostrils before walking 513 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 1: around the campus. It's super safe. And I do believe 514 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 1: that the producers and the casts had a quarantine for 515 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: about seven days before they started shooting. Now, why would 516 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 1: they change that with Harrison that he goes, he goes 517 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 1: to Texas, drops off as kid of college, comes back, 518 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 1: and then has to do fourteen days. There's also reports 519 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,080 Speaker 1: that Chris wasn't very happy about that. I have no 520 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 1: firsthand knowledge of this um, but I do think it's 521 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 1: interesting that Jojo was set before Chris came back to 522 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 1: have fourteen to have a fourteen day stay at La Quinta, 523 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 1: to throw a little twist in this. While we've been 524 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 1: recording this podcast, et who I find a very reliable 525 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 1: source in all this, as Laurence Ema, Chris Harrison's girlfriend, 526 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 1: works there is has new pictures of the executive producer, 527 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 1: Chris Harrison and Claire in a red dress at La 528 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 1: Quinta filming with cameras and lighting around them. It could 529 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: be a promo. They could be shooting a promo. But 530 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 1: he's definitely not quarantined to his room right now. So 531 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: is this a twist? Are they just trying to twist 532 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 1: this season so much that Jojo fills in and it's fun, 533 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 1: it's just like a new thing, it's a new a 534 00:29:55,880 --> 00:30:00,480 Speaker 1: new whoe moment. Or is he actually busy to something 535 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: else for the season. So, Ashley, I think everybody's asking, 536 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 1: is this a change in the guard for the Bachelor? 537 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 1: Do you see this being a long term change or 538 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 1: is this really just a temporary fill in of Jojo 539 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 1: for just this season. Well, what do you think? I 540 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 1: think this is just truly a temporary fill in. However, 541 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: there's some fishy smell around it all that there's more 542 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 1: to this to me, That's what I'm wondering now. I 543 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 1: don't think at any level Chris Harrison is close to 544 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 1: being done with the show, and I do think Jojo 545 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 1: is going to do a tremendous job at hosting this. 546 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 1: It makes sense to me how I don't think this 547 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 1: is a permanent thing. I don't even think it's hinted 548 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: at that it is fishy. There's still a lot to 549 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 1: be found out. Here's the truth to it all. To 550 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 1: sum it up. As a fan, I am so interested 551 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 1: in this season now. I mean there's so much chaos. 552 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 1: It's they took the environment and the in this like 553 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 1: what the world is feeling in reality, and just moved 554 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 1: it down to Palm Springs and like hyping it up 555 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:15,280 Speaker 1: a little bit. Oh yeah, There's never been more promotion 556 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 1: of a season than this, and it's almost all natural promotion, 557 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 1: and it's great because nothing else is happening in entertainment today. 558 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 1: I also think we should mention that Claire was spotted. 559 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: There's photos that have been linked to her from from 560 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,719 Speaker 1: her stay at Laquinta over the past week. I believe, 561 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 1: not not that I have this as factual knowledge, but 562 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 1: from what I gather, that Claire is just gonna end 563 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 1: up staying at Lacina and has stayed at Laquinta since 564 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 1: she supposedly dropped out of her season. Really yeah, I 565 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 1: would be shocked if they were like to sing Claire home. 566 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 1: That doesn't seem like even if she's off the season 567 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 1: and after show, they're gonna follow up with her. They're 568 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,720 Speaker 1: going to do interviews with her, They're gonna show whatever 569 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 1: the progresses in her really aationship. I have no doubt 570 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 1: she's still probably down there hanging out doing her thing. 571 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 1: It's probably a lot easier than mean The Bachelor at uh. 572 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 1: But again, this is wild and there's still a lot 573 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 1: of unknowns. However, we do know that Joe Joe Fletchers 574 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 1: filling in for fourteen days at this point for Chris 575 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 1: Harrison onto the Next Story, one of our favorites on 576 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 1: the podcast, and somebody that's kind of come on a 577 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:24,840 Speaker 1: couple of times it helped us host and also just 578 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 1: came on for interviews. Um Karine from Nick's season really 579 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 1: came out this week and showed a lot of vulnerability 580 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 1: and really started opening up about what it was like 581 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 1: to be on The Bachelor. She thought her life was 582 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 1: over after her actions on The Bachelor. Karan Uh mentions 583 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 1: this on her interview with Nick, and then e Online 584 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 1: covered it. But Karin and Nick sat down for a 585 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:55,960 Speaker 1: very vulnerable talk, which is obviously something that is intriguing 586 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 1: to watch. Ashley, what do we know about Karine and 587 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 1: what exactly did she say? So? She says I acted 588 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 1: like a psychopath. She says, I was a completely different 589 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 1: human at the time. I tried to do whatever I 590 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 1: could to get your attention. I think she's referring to 591 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 1: Nick and that in that situation, so she did everything 592 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,120 Speaker 1: that she could to get Nick's attention. Everyone freaked out, 593 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,240 Speaker 1: but I didn't care because I got my time with him, 594 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 1: you know, on screen all that. Um. She also said 595 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 1: that there was a lot about their relationship that viewers 596 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 1: didn't get to see, including a heartfelt letter that producers 597 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,400 Speaker 1: never ended up giving to Nick, but she sent she 598 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,680 Speaker 1: put in their hands. She also said that she was 599 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 1: upset because she feels like she has the qualities of 600 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 1: a good wife and that she is a good girlfriend currently, 601 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 1: but that side of her wasn't shown. She said that 602 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:50,600 Speaker 1: she felt like she looked like a pimbo. Well, we 603 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 1: love Karen. We have appreciated her openness and honesty and 604 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 1: her humor. You know, it's always a learning experience, as 605 00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 1: we talked about many times, and it, you know what, 606 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 1: it helful to hear people come out and talk about 607 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 1: their experience and how it affected them. Speaking of Nick season, 608 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:11,360 Speaker 1: Ashley um Vanessa, who was engaged to Nick after that 609 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:15,520 Speaker 1: season of The Bachelor, uh is uh is now engaged. 610 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:19,320 Speaker 1: She got engaged and Nick commented on the social media 611 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:24,160 Speaker 1: post uh with a very kind comment, which is which 612 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 1: is nice to see.

So good, so good, 663 00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:31,640 Speaker 1: good good, good to hear. How are you doing? You 664 00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,359 Speaker 1: posted something on Instagram the other day about how you're 665 00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,239 Speaker 1: feeling a lot of anxiety lately. Anything you want to 666 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,879 Speaker 1: dive into with us, um, I mean, I don't want 667 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,560 Speaker 1: to go down a rabbit hole or anything, but obviously 668 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,680 Speaker 1: I'm overwhelmed. I'm dealing with the launch of my brand, 669 00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:48,759 Speaker 1: which is a big thing for me, something I've been 670 00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,359 Speaker 1: working on for a long time. And I'm also trying 671 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 1: to be a good mom and wife. So there's just 672 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,560 Speaker 1: a lot on my plate at one time. And you 673 00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:01,200 Speaker 1: guys recently just moved into a new house, right, Yeah 674 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,399 Speaker 1: we did. Yeah, so we moved in our new house 675 00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,920 Speaker 1: like two months ago, and we're actually also remodeling our house, 676 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,680 Speaker 1: so that's another huge thing. Real quick, I want to 677 00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:14,400 Speaker 1: pause you here because it's funny, Lauren. My grandma and 678 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:18,320 Speaker 1: my aunt both follow you on social media to like 679 00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,600 Speaker 1: keep up with your life as a mother and as 680 00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:24,120 Speaker 1: a wife, and they both followed me too, but like 681 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,760 Speaker 1: it's always impressive to me how much they know about 682 00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:31,239 Speaker 1: you and uh, so on on behalf of them. I 683 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:32,600 Speaker 1: feel like I need to take a second here and 684 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:34,719 Speaker 1: and just ask what does it mean for you to 685 00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:36,279 Speaker 1: be a good wife and a good mother, Like if 686 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,799 Speaker 1: we could dive into that a little bit, what are 687 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:43,360 Speaker 1: you trying to do? Um? So I guess on the 688 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,319 Speaker 1: front of being a good mom, I have a one 689 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,120 Speaker 1: year old daughter for those of you guys that don't know, UM, 690 00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,440 Speaker 1: and I think for me, the most important thing is 691 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,560 Speaker 1: just setting a good example for her and showing her 692 00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 1: that she can do it all and she can be 693 00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:00,640 Speaker 1: happy while doing it. So um, part of the reason 694 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,400 Speaker 1: I'm doing this clothing line is because I want to 695 00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,120 Speaker 1: show her that she can do the same in her 696 00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:08,359 Speaker 1: life too, So there's that, and then also just making 697 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,680 Speaker 1: sure that there's time for me to be with her 698 00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:13,200 Speaker 1: and have quality time and teach her how to swim 699 00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:16,000 Speaker 1: and talk and do everything that she likes to do. 700 00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,840 Speaker 1: So that on the mom front, and then on the 701 00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,840 Speaker 1: wife front, obviously you have to spend quality time with 702 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,520 Speaker 1: your significant other two to make sure they're happy. So 703 00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 1: it's just it's more like a balance of time that 704 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:31,680 Speaker 1: is difficult to do, but I'm trying my best at it. 705 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:36,520 Speaker 1: So Yeah. On the same note as Ben. When I 706 00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,320 Speaker 1: look at your Instagram, I'm like, how does she do 707 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,640 Speaker 1: it all? Plus looks so pretty and put together doing it? 708 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,719 Speaker 1: You're hilarious. No, seriously, Me and Jay talk about it 709 00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,759 Speaker 1: all the time. We're like, her hair is like perfectly done. 710 00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:54,359 Speaker 1: I was perfectly done. Um, but like I know you are. 711 00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:59,399 Speaker 1: Probably you're probably like doing something towards work at all 712 00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:04,719 Speaker 1: time times, whether it's your personal life or your brands. Yeah. Yeah, 713 00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:08,000 Speaker 1: basically every single every day, whether it's the weekend or 714 00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:11,799 Speaker 1: the weekday, we're doing something that is for work. Um. 715 00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,759 Speaker 1: So maybe that's why I'm always looking put together, But 716 00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:18,759 Speaker 1: I guarantee it's not always like that. Well, let's let's 717 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,879 Speaker 1: transition then over to your most recent projects, something you've 718 00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,359 Speaker 1: already kind of hinted at and that you've been working 719 00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,279 Speaker 1: hard on. You are coming out with your lifestyle line, 720 00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:31,719 Speaker 1: Shades of Rose. Lauren Hut there listening to what tell 721 00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:35,520 Speaker 1: him about it. So I started working on Shades of 722 00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:40,120 Speaker 1: Rose about two years ago. Um, and I guess I've 723 00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,400 Speaker 1: always just had this passion since I was in high school. 724 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,359 Speaker 1: I did a little modeling for fun. I wouldn't say 725 00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:47,920 Speaker 1: I was serious about it. But I met this really 726 00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:51,359 Speaker 1: cool designer locally in Seattle who helped me design from 727 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,000 Speaker 1: a bathing suit with her, and that's kind of what 728 00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:58,319 Speaker 1: inspired my passion to go down and designed my own 729 00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:02,960 Speaker 1: clothing line. So it's called a lifestyle line. I have 730 00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:08,120 Speaker 1: a question, is there anything beyond clothes? Well, for right now, 731 00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,240 Speaker 1: it's just going to be clothes. I'm thinking about benching 732 00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:16,840 Speaker 1: into like kids clothes, maybe um, you know, maternity, or 733 00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:20,719 Speaker 1: possibly begin like interior stuff in the future. But that 734 00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:26,520 Speaker 1: far your play your houses always looks so perfect too, 735 00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:28,640 Speaker 1: so I think a lot of people will be interested 736 00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:32,399 Speaker 1: in that furniture home to core line. Thank you. Yeah, 737 00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:34,960 Speaker 1: it's a lot of fun. I love doing that. When 738 00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:39,000 Speaker 1: is the official launch of the brand.

Before 757 00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,520 Speaker 1: we let you go, Lauren, UM, if is there any 758 00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:50,920 Speaker 1: little thing that Lessie is really into these days? Uh, 759 00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,840 Speaker 1: she's starting to say a lot of words, like what 760 00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:59,319 Speaker 1: was her first word? Yeah? So Lessie is a busybody. 761 00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:03,000 Speaker 1: She's so independent only at one year old. Um, she's 762 00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,160 Speaker 1: talking all the time in her own little language. She's 763 00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:08,279 Speaker 1: constantly like babbling. Um, that's really cute. And then she 764 00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,320 Speaker 1: also just learned how to swim under water, so I 765 00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,680 Speaker 1: think that's probably her new favorite thing. She loves dunking 766 00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:17,080 Speaker 1: herself under the water and holding her breath and she's 767 00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,719 Speaker 1: really proud of herself. So it's really cute to watch. 768 00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:25,320 Speaker 1: No way, that's so cool. That's impressive. I it's really impressive. 769 00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:27,759 Speaker 1: It's a big deal. Actually, my buddies and I were 770 00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:29,440 Speaker 1: at the lake two weeks ago and we're trying to 771 00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:31,359 Speaker 1: hold our breath underwater for as long as we could, 772 00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:33,200 Speaker 1: and we're not very good at it anymore. So let's 773 00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:38,040 Speaker 1: see good for you you might have. I'm pretty sure 774 00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:40,520 Speaker 1: I was scared to do that until second grade. So 775 00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,680 Speaker 1: she's ahead of the game. Yeah, I know. I was 776 00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:45,799 Speaker 1: for a while too, so I'm really impressed with her. 777 00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:51,319 Speaker 1: And I still gotta plug my nose. Well, Lauren, you're 778 00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:54,440 Speaker 1: the best. Thanks again, and best luck tomorrow on the launch. 779 00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:57,440 Speaker 1: Uh if you if you need anything, let us know, 780 00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:02,120 Speaker 1: all right, Thank you, guys, Bye bye, Thanks for joining 781 00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:05,800 Speaker 1: us today.
