7
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 4: But like I say that dead seriously because I could

00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 4: have never gone on a plane.

9
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 3: Because I just don't like I like, I'm telling you

10
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 3: after the Golden Bachelor wedding, like I will not go

11
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 3: on a cross.

12
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 4: Country trip again. Pregnant. Can't do it. It's so hard

13
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 4: on my body.

14
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, So, like, thank you for just doing podcasts, and

15
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,480
Speaker 3: I like I lived vicariously through your your stories, which

16
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 3: looks so much fun.

17
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 4: Can you give me a shoot? I just peed, you know,

18
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 4: I just peed. And that's how honest.

19
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be what you sneezed and pete at the

20
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 2: same time.

21
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, change, No, it's like a little squirt. It's like

22
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 3: this is a mom thing. It's like you have a

23
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 3: baby and when you sneeze, you pee, and then people.

24
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 4: Go, you have to go to pelvic floor therapy.

25
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 3: Okay, listen, I probably do, but I'll do it after

26
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 3: this kid. And then when you're pregnant, you pee your

27
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 3: pants like far more easily when the sneeze. Like I

28
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 3: think before I was pregnant, I could probably hold that in.

29
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 3: Now it's just like and then when I throw up,

30
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 3: it's like I don't know whether or not it's to

31
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 3: throw up on the floor and pee in the toilet

32
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 3: or pee on the floor and throw up in the toilet.

33
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 3: The real solution there is something that never comes to

34
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 3: my head in the moment, and that is you throw

35
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 3: up in the garbage can and you pee in the toilet,

36
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 3: because if I because believe me, it's a full stream

37
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 3: of pee when I throw up a hold up.

38
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: Is this something that like I could laugh at or.

39
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 3: Is that oh yeah, I think you can laugh at.

40
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 3: Maybe some other women would say, like, don't laugh at

41
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 3: the mother's body, But like, I totally thank you, Ken,

42
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 3: because the.

43
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 2: Fact that he just needs thempete at the same time

44
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 2: and haven't lost a beat like that you just kept

45
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 2: talking is amazing to me.

46
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 4: Because it happens all day long.

47
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 3: Sometimes I wear like a giant like urinary pad, like

48
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 3: if I'm going to if I'm gonna be like at

49
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 3: the airport or when I was in Disney World. I

50
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 3: did because I was like, heaven forbid, I am like

51
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 3: on on a line for a ride. Then I throw

52
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 3: up in line, and then I pee my pants and

53
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 3: it's like a.

54
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 4: Poddle of urine with the girl who's throwing up. So

55
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 4: I just I have that as a backup.

56
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 3: But right now, now, and look at that tangent, like,

57
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 3: look how far we came. We came from you recording

58
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 3: podcasts to me just peeing my pants, and this is

59
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 3: why I can't go to Carmel.

60
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 4: But that's okay.

61
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, well I get it now. I don't. I don't

62
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 2: need you there. That's fine. I'll do anything.

63
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 3: No, I have great such of humor about it.

64
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: I'm glad. Well, I appreciate it. Yeah, Carmel was great.

65
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 2: Did miss you a lot, Ashley, But obviously we understand

66
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 2: why you couldn't be there. We had a great group,

67
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 2: you know, over the time, it's been really fun to

68
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 2: kind of bring in some familiar faces but also bring

69
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: in some new faces each time too, and to see

70
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 2: how the group kind of comes together and to hear

71
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 2: the shared experiences we got to be an obviously beautiful Carmel.

72
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 2: The Pebble Beach actually We only missed one day of

73
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 2: the tournament cause it got canceled after yesterday because of

74
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 2: the storms. It did rain a lot. Some of the

75
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 2: highlights I guess actually from that trip, and I'm excited

76
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 2: for people to tune in. I mean, honestly, these trips,

77
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 2: sometimes the highlights don't happen during a recording. Sometimes they

78
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 2: happen outside of a recording and we don't get to

79
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 2: capture those. The highlights of this trip was the time together,

80
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 2: but also a lot of it happened during these podcasts

81
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 2: that are going to be posted on Almost Famous and

82
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 2: the most dramatic podcast ever also Suck Suckers. I think

83
00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 2: they're calling themselves now as it suckers. Yeah, that happened

84
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 2: during those but the almost in this podcast came out.

85
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 2: I think there was some really great interviews, not because

86
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 2: of anything I did, but because of the guests. Justin

87
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 2: and Susie really opened up, talked a lot about their

88
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 2: experience as a couple and what led them to finally

89
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 2: trying to get together. Dean and Chris Harrison and I

90
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 2: sat down and had a really great conversation. Jason, Chris

91
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 2: and I sat down and then Bob Guiney did. We

92
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 2: thought it would be fun since you and I had

93
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 2: already talked to some of the Golden Ladies, to have

94
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 2: Bob talk to him. And as Bob's wife says, Canyon

95
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 2: says he should talk to them because of the same age,

96
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 2: And so Bob got to sit and talk with them

97
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 2: and came out just with some really fun but very

98
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 2: heartfelt interviews. It was a great trip. I am happy

99
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 2: to now be back with you. I do miss you

100
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 2: when you're gone. I told Justin and Susie all about

101
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 2: kind of our bet on if they would ever get

102
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 2: together or not back in the day and if they

103
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: actually were together, and and then they said, well, we

104
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 2: really miss Ashley been here. Said I did too, But

105
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 2: I think this interview would go in a very different

106
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 2: direction if she was sitting next to me, because what

107
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 2: we got to get to is really the book before

108
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 2: love happened in their relationship, and I think that's a

109
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 2: really fun story to tell.

110
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 3: So then tell me what you experienced going to dinners

111
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 3: and stuff with them as the couple today.

112
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, the coolest part. They remind me

113
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 2: of a married couple. And I don't say that in

114
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 2: the sense that like they're boring or they're not exciting,

115
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 2: because I think.

116
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 4: That's a comfortable so comfortable, right.

117
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 2: Well, they're comfortable, and they talk about in the podcast.

118
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 2: They're comfortable because they were friends first, and so they

119
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 2: weren't hiding anything from each other. Right it would be

120
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 2: similar to what you and I just talked about, right Like,

121
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 2: you could tell me anything that like, you know, you

122
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 2: sneezed and did all these your bodily functions, and we

123
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 2: could be sitting on a couch watching a movie next

124
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 2: to each other, right like. And that is where their

125
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 2: relationship started was as friends first. The different friends was

126
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 2: they're both single, and which was when my bat came in.

127
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 2: And so there's no way these two attractive single people

128
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 2: can watch this many movies together and not at some

129
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 2: point think about making out, Like there's just no way

130
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 2: that's a thing. And so they were friends first, so

131
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 2: they weren't hiding anything from each other, which I think

132
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 2: into their romantic relationship. The interesting conversation that we got

133
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 2: to have with them was, well, then how do you

134
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 2: turn that gear so that you know, Susie wants to

135
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 2: be sexy for him? Right? She wants to be attractive

136
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 2: for him, and he wants to do the same for her.

137
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 2: So how do you go from being friends that are,

138
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 2: you know, doing all the weird stuff that humans do

139
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 2: in front of each other to then like turning that

140
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 2: gear and being okay, now I need to I want

141
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 2: them to see me as you know, their partner and

142
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 2: be physically attracted me. So what kind of things have

143
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 2: to change in my life? What kind of things do

144
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 2: I have to do differently?

145
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: Now?

146
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 2: So?

147
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 4: Is that recorded so we can all listen to?

148
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can listen to. It's great. It's They're really

149
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 2: fun to talk to. They're so going to dinners with them.

150
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 2: They're exactly who they were on the podcast. They're a

151
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 2: lot of fun. Justin's a lot quieter, like sneaky, sneaky

152
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 2: funny though like quiet, but if you sit next to him,

153
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 2: he'll say some stuff that just makes crack up. And

154
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 2: Susie is a little more out there and hilarious. Uh

155
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 2: she's I mean it was. They're great. I really see.

156
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 2: I'll say this now publicly, I'll be shocked if they

157
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 2: ever breakup.

158
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, that's what I was gonna ask you.

159
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 2: I'll be shocked if they ever breakup.

160
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, Okay, Sam, I think so too, okay cool? Should

161
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 4: we get to headlines?

162
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 2: Definitely get the headlines. Please go out and listen to

163
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 2: all the episodes recorded during Carmel. The first headline is

164
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 2: this Bachelor at Charity Lawson on why Golden Bachelor brought

165
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 2: franchise back to life. That's an interesting conversation to have

166
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 2: right now.

167
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 3: So yeah, she says she thinks it's exactly what Bachelor

168
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 3: Nation needed. The past year was really good for the franchise.

169
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 3: I'm really happy to see that demographic, that age of

170
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 3: people find love again. I just spoke about it that

171
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 3: when you get to that age and your life doesn't

172
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 3: have to like fit into this time, you don't know

173
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 3: what to expect in your sixties or seventies. So these women,

174
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 3: they all show to us that there's so much life

175
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 3: to be lived at that point, and everyone's supposed to

176
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 3: be having these opportunities. But for us seeing it on

177
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 3: national public TV like this, it's never been done before,

178
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 3: and it was done beautifully.

179
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 2: I do believe Charity is right. I think the big

180
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 2: question that you and I even argued about was what

181
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 2: is the Bachelor going to look like? Post Golden Bachelor?

182
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 2: And I do think it brought fans back in and

183
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 2: so far, I think this Bachelor season is probably meeting

184
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 2: their expectations on what they remember the franchise being. I

185
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 2: have a feeling it's going to be a kind of

186
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 2: maybe a good year for the Bachelor in general.

187
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, totally because Joey. I just am so

188
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 3: into watching him. He is the Bachelor we've been waited

189
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 3: too long for.

190
00:08:54,640 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 4: So easy for him. This has been so good. I

191
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 4: love it.

192
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 3: I just he's so much more compelling to watch them

193
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 3: we've seen in the past couple of years. So yes,

194
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 3: I do think that we're also a really good start

195
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 3: past ten years.

196
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 4: No, that's not true, Dean said.

197
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 2: Dean told me this. He said, Joey's the first Bachelor

198
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 2: I've ever liked in the last ten years.

199
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 3: Okay, well you're in the past ten years, and then

200
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 3: Nick's in the past ten years. So like, I have

201
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 3: got to say that my friends they were great just.

202
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 2: Because they're friends, you're bias. Brian defends ex Rachel Lindsay

203
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 2: and their past relationship amid split.

204
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 3: Okay, so, Brian spoke out against the negativity in the

205
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 3: comments section of a new post.

206
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 4: That he posted.

207
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 3: He said that we've been living together for almost three

208
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 3: years in LA. This split has nothing to do with

209
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 3: long distance. Not sure why people think we've been apart

210
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 3: this entire time. Yes, her career came first, but there

211
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 3: were opportunities for her that were smart for her to take,

212
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 3: which could not have been offered later. I think, like

213
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 3: you know, she couldn't have pressed pause on her career

214
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 3: because she had so much I'm assuming couldn't press pause

215
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 3: on her career because she had momentum coming from TV

216
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 3: and all that.

217
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 4: Brian continued to say that.

218
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 3: He didn't have anything lined up for himself in LA,

219
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 3: but we were a team, so I close up shop,

220
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 3: uprooted and opened a new business in LA. It's not

221
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 3: just women who should be expected to sacrifice. A man

222
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 3: can do it too. And then any rumors about the

223
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 3: fact that he had a problem with Rachel's professional success,

224
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 3: he also said that her building her future was not

225
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 3: the problem. I would encourage anyone to pursue their dreams

226
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 3: and hope that they have a healthy support system to

227
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 3: do so. He said a lot of things on this

228
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 3: He said a lot of things under this post goes

229
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 3: Because Rachel did want a family, things happen as they're

230
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 3: meant to be God bless.

231
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 2: I mean, I uh, I think that's great when you

232
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 2: see a couple ending the way they did, supporting each other.

233
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 2: Has a question for you, though, because I'm not familiar

234
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 2: and has Rachel came out and publicly defended Brian, Yet.

235
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 3: All she did so far was say, like, yes, we're

236
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 3: getting divorced. It's been a really tough time. Like I'm

237
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 3: really kind of like reeling right now, and I'm not

238
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 3: gonna talk any further about it right now, but I

239
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 3: will eventually.

240
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 2: Okay, So we're assuming, we're assuming that they're on decent terms,

241
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 2: like it's over, they're moving forward, but they're both supporting

242
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 2: each other still, especially publicly.

243
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 4: Well he's especially publicly. She's just kind of like asking

244
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 4: for privacy.

245
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 3: This is the first time that anybody like ever addressed

246
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 3: any of the rumors that could have caused this place.

247
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 2: Okay, so first time one of them's really spoken out.

248
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 3: Not to say that she's like not been kind, it's

249
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 3: just that she like hasn't really said any ast.

250
00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 2: Her privacy and she's taking her time.

251
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: Ye.

252
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 2: Claire Crawley opens up about relationship with surrogate after birth

253
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 2: and her Also she opens up about her hardest moment

254
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 2: as a mother so far.

255
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 3: So she did a Q and A on Instagram, and

256
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 3: she asked if they got to stay overnight at the

257
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 3: hospital with the surrogate, because you know, Claire and Ryan

258
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 3: didn't have to recover, but of course with the baby there,

259
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 3: you're gonna want to stay overnight. So she said, we

260
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 3: did get to stay over with the surrogate. We were

261
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 3: in the room right next to our surrogate's room while

262
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 3: she recovered after the delivery, and we all stayed about

263
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 3: twenty four hours. She also shared that the surrogate was

264
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 3: involved for the first few days of Rowan's life and

265
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 3: she will always be. She's like family to us, she says,

266
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 3: and I always want Rowan to know her beautiful story

267
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 3: of how she came to be. She said that the

268
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 3: hardest part as a mom thus far was having to

269
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 3: travel home after the delivery because they didn't have the baby,

270
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 3: wasn't born in California, the perfect surrogate for them was

271
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 3: not located in California. She just she said that there

272
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 3: were you know, there could have they could have worked

273
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 3: that out possibly, but like she felt really good with

274
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 3: this one woman, so getting her home safely having to,

275
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 3: you know, fly with a baby of that age. She said,

276
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 3: she's never been so psycho about germs.

277
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 2: Hey, I mean just crazy to even read a headline

278
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 2: with Claire Crawley being a mother in the same headline.

279
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 4: It's so cool, so amazing. It was just so happy.

280
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 4: Just we're so.

281
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 2: Happy speaking of mothers. Obviously, we just announced that Amanda

282
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 2: Stanton has had another baby, and this is the headline.

283
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 2: Amanda Stanton reveals her actually coded name for her daughter,

284
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 2: The final Rosie.

285
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 3: Is very cute, but she does say that she hesitated

286
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 3: to name her daughter Rosie because it seems like a

287
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 3: nod to her time on The Bachelor, but she said

288
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 3: it's really not at all. It's more of a fun

289
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 3: thing that I did when I was twenty five versus

290
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 3: a big part of my life now. But I won't

291
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 3: be annoyed if you do make any Bachelor puns with

292
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 3: her name, like the final Rosie.

293
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 2: There we go. It's very cute, interesting headline here, because

294
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 2: I just think it's something that some people know some

295
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 2: people don't. Sidney Warner Sidney was on the Bachelor a

296
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 2: few years ago, and she was on season twenty four

297
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 2: The Bachelor with Peter Webber as the Bachelor's time. Well,

298
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 2: she's married to one of the if not the best

299
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 2: football player in the NFL right now, Bred Warner, and

300
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 2: the headline says this, Sidney Warner gets candid about traveling

301
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 2: to Super Bowl four weeks before her baby's due date.

302
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 3: So Hannah, our producer, and I big girl crushes on Sidney.

303
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 3: She was on our podcast couple of months ago. I

304
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 3: think we even to be asked. We're like, what's going

305
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 3: to happen if he does make the super Bowl? Well,

306
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 3: she got the clear from her doctor that she can

307
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 3: fly to Vegas for the Super Bowl this coming weekend,

308
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 3: which will be exactly this weekend, four weeks before her

309
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 3: due date.

310
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 4: And it's because.

311
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 3: It's only an hour flight back home to San Francisco,

312
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 3: and because she is four weeks off, you know, so

313
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 3: the odds are probably not very high that she's going

314
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 3: to go into labor, but if she does, what a

315
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 3: story that will be. And I can't imagine with the

00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 3: trip because.

320
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:53,360

321
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 4: like feel good.

322
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 3: She said she felt good most of her pregnancy, but

341
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 2: Final headline is this. Abigail reveals her thoughts on The

342
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 2: Bachelor's Daisy Can't and advice for her So.

343
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 3: Abigail spoke to People magazine talking about how Daisy and

344
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 3: her both share being deaf and wearing cochlear implants, and

345
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 3: she said I was excited to hear that on the

346
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,919
Speaker 3: current season we'd have more representation from the hearing loss community.

347
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 3: I know everyone has a different experience with hearing loss

348
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 3: and cochlear implants, so I'm interested in learning about Daisy's

349
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 3: story and for the conversations to continue on raising awareness

350
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 3: for the death community.

351
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 4: Abigail was born without.

352
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 3: Hearing and Daisy a loss or hearing because of lime disease,

353
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 3: and Abigail shared some wres of wisdom for Daisy as

354
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 3: she goes into this bachelor journey. She goes, I know

355
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 3: she and I both have these cochlear implants, but we

356
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 3: have two very different stories, and I'm excited to learn

357
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 3: more about her journey with hearing loss, and the advice

358
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 3: that I would give her is to enjoy the experience

359
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 3: and to know that her journey is hers alone. People

360
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 3: are going to cast opinions, be ignorant with their comments,

361
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 3: and project their own experiences on to her, and just

362
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,199
Speaker 3: remember that everyone's path is different and she should be

363
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 3: proud that she's taken the brave step to put herself

364
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 3: and her story out there.

365
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 2: Wow. Absolutely awesome. Cool to see those two come together,

366
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 2: bring awareness, be great, just great people for the franchise

367
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 2: in general. Well that's all the headlines we have for today.

368
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:20,919

Speaker 2: I thought it was a very intimate weekend, like a

375
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 2: lot of it felt like the space that was created

376
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 2: caused a lot of people to open up more than

377
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 2: maybe what they would if we were on Zoom or

378
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 2: in a more chaotic environment, and so I thought that

379
