WEBVTT - This is Dramatic: The Kentucky Derby Edition 0:00:01.040 --> 0:00:06.000 This is the most dramatic podcast ever and iHeartRadio podcast. 0:00:07.400 --> 0:00:10.040 Chris Harrison and Lauren Zema back in the home office 0:00:10.039 --> 0:00:15.200 in Austin, Texas, but just barely off of our Kentucky 0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:16.560 Derby debut. 0:00:16.840 --> 0:00:21.680 The Kentucky Derby Drama is really it talk about a 0:00:21.760 --> 0:00:23.200 dramatic event, in. 0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:26.880 Some ways good drama, in some ways bad good drama. 0:00:27.240 --> 0:00:30.040 Am I hungover? Am I tired? I feel like my 0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:33.680 whole body is like Oh, after that weekend. 0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:37.040 Lauren and I wanted to do this, this spectacle that 0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:40.000 is the Kentucky Derby, So we went to Louisville. 0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:41.840 This this was on your bucket list. 0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:44.239 Yeah, it's something I wanted. You know. A little known 0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:47.360 fact I worked for a horse racing network back at 0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:50.240 early two thousand ninety nine into like two thousand and two. 0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:53.559 When I started The Bachelor, I was still working at 0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:55.880 a place called TVG, a horse racing network. It's what 0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:56.560 I did every day. 0:00:56.640 --> 0:00:58.160 I'm sorry, but it's not a great name for a 0:00:58.160 --> 0:00:59.000 horse racing network. 0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:02.920 It sounds like TV was called like television games something, 0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:03.560 as I think was. 0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:05.320 The we called HRN horse racing. 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:10.039 I think that's taken. Oh good, good call, though, But 0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:12.040 we I got a lot of ideas that I was 0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:14.600 a sportscaster back in the day in Oklahoma City, and 0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:17.240 that's what actually prompted me to move to LA was 0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:19.760 to continue sports casting. And then I started doing Home 0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:22.040 and Garden and a game show and all the way 0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:24.840 into The Bachelor, and then once the Bacheler kind of exploded, 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:27.920 I left tvg and was obviously full time. 0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:31.560 I note. It always blows my mind how when we go, 0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:34.400 especially when we travel in Middle America, how many people 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:37.280 recognize you from being a sportscaster in Oklahoma. 0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:39.680 That happened on Sunday at the airport. This guy's like, 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:40.759 weren't you on Channel nine? 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:43.279 Yeah? He was. He was an elder, he was older, 0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:45.120 And I think that's the problem is that that is 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:48.920 the elder Oklahomans now who remember me from my days 0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:51.320 in at kW TV News nine. 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:53.360 Give it to me again. In the broadcast, it was 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:54.760 full broadcast. 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:56.480 Chris Harrison Sports Line nine. 0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:59.600 Okay, you had a very good, chill broadcast voice. Mine 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:01.160 was way to over the top. When I look back 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:04.200 at all eclips of myself coming out next. 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:06.800 You know what that is? That's your et voice. 0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:07.760 That's very much fun. 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:10.800 When you do when you used to do entertainment tonight voiceovers, 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:12.400 I'm like, who is that human? 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:15.160 I know, well, I think you got to up the 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:17.560 energy on a voiceover. You know, I would always tell 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:20.200 people it's all your and we were news and it's 0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:22.800 fast paced. There is a different cadence you have to 0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:24.680 bring because your voice is telling the whole story. 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:26.120 But I definitely have an et voice. 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:27.919 And so yeah, it's fun when every now and every 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:30.080 now and then someone says you used to work at 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:33.680 Channel nine. But anyway, so we digressed. We went to Louisville, 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:36.799 went to the Kentucky Derby together. The pomp and circumstance, 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:40.200 the clothes, the pageantry, the cocktails, we did it all. 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:42.000 We came in hot. We went in. So there is 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:47.360 the Lady, the Equine Ladies race on Fridays. There's a 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:48.600 thing called the Kentucky Oaks. 0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:51.359 And that is basically, let me clain what he did wrong. 0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:55.360 He's telling me. I'm like, I'm kind of expecting. Actually, 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:58.000 here's a mistake I made. I thought, because of your 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:01.600 HRN background that you knew all about the Kentucky Derby, 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:04.080 but neither of us had been and you kind of 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:06.600 have to be there on the ground to get what 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:09.560 each event is specifically. But I'm asking Chris, well, what's 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:11.720 the deal on Friday and he goes, okay, well Friday 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:13.840 is this thing called the Oaks, So that's for the girls, 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:16.960 and so you know that's the girls event, and then. 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:19.520 We're going to go to this gall derby for the girls. 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:20.440 Okay, And he says, then we're going to go to 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.320 this gala on Friday night, the Unbridled Eve Charity Gala. 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:25.920 And I'm like, well, where are you going to be 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:29.119 on Friday during the day then? And he's like with you, 0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:30.480 what are you talking about. I'm like, well, you said 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:32.600 it's for the girls, like it's a girl's event, Like 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:33.800 so are you going to go golfing? 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:36.280 What do the boys do? And he goes, I meant 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:39.720 girl horses female horses. 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:42.400 So for those that don't know, the Kentucky Oaks is 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:45.560 the female version of the Kentucky Derby because the Kentucky 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:50.840 Derby is predominantly for three year old male horses. Now 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:54.920 female horses Philly can run in the Derby and has 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:58.880 and has done very well historically. It's tough for them. 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:01.960 They just don't kind of hang in with the boys 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:06.320 in that division. So typically the Kentucky Derby is all male. 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:08.200 God, we're learning so much here at HR. 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:10.600 So anyway, we were together. 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:13.680 We were together at the Oaks, and another thing I 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:16.520 learned kind of just being on the ground the Oaks 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:19.039 people borderline dress up just as much as they do 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:20.080 for the actual derby. 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:22.480 That wasn't a thing Like the last time I was 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:25.000 at the Derby was twenty years ago. When I was there, 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:26.719 I covered it for a week and then I actually 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:30.400 left on Friday night, so I didn't technically attend the derby, but. 0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:31.880 I was there to tell the story. 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:34.880 Ultimately, everything was fine, but he had a family medical 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:35.240 there was. 0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:38.039 A medical emergency that I flew out of Louisville on 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:40.960 Friday night, on the eve of the Kentucky Derby. If 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:45.400 you want to see a lonely, sad place on Friday, 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:48.760 the night before the derby, fly out of Louisville. If 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:51.280 you ever want to Robin air If you ever want 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:53.760 to Robin Airport, do it on Friday night before the 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:56.480 Kentucky Derby. There's not a human It was me and 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.320 one Gate agent and she didn't even want to be there. 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:02.080 So yeah, I'm the only human being that's ever flown 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:05.159 out of Kentucky on Friday night before the Derby. But 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:09.440 the Oaks wasn't such a big deal. It was pretty 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:13.240 lightly attended. It was well under one hundred thousand, probably 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:16.000 well under fifty thousand. No one really got that dressed up. 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:18.920 You and I showed up Friday. Luckily I had a 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:21.440 coat on and you were pretty dressed up. But it 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:24.719 was it's Derby day again. I mean, everybody is dressed 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:25.320 to the nine. 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:28.520 Yes, I mean luckily we kind of live by the 0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:31.080 rule of it's better to overdress than underdress. We were 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:33.120 still underdressed, and we were still a little underdressed, but 0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:35.120 we brought what we thought was just sort of kind 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:37.480 of like daytime cocktail attire. I had like a little 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:40.440 leather shorts on and I threw on a blazer. And 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:43.800 what is amazing is the everybody's encouraged to wear pink 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:46.120 at the event and support of breast cancer awareness, and 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:49.400 they bring survivors out onto the field and it's really awesome. 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:53.039 But luckily we were able to I always throw on 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:54.760 a blazer, and that's going to dress up and outfit. 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:56.440 We both did that. I think I was the only 0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:58.960 woman there in a blazer, but it works. 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:02.520 And who did we immediately see upon entering the Kentucky 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:06.560 Oaks Our dear friend Bob Guiney, Bob former bat By 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:10.200 Robert Eugene Guiney, who is going to join me? Just 0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:13.800 a little bit later, Bob and I did a oh 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:17.719 post Derby hangover Sunday morning edition of the most dramatic 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:20.320 podcast ever. He came over and was nice enough to 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:23.359 join me before he took off and headed home. So 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:26.400 the interview with Bob Guiney, which got really deep for 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:28.800 a Sunday morning that's coming up in just a few 0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:32.200 So we enjoyed our Friday at the races. Then we 0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:34.839 immediately went home got dressed for the big gal. 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:37.120 Oh non, I got to settle in on meeting Bob Guinney, Oh. 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:39.200 Yeah, that's true. You guys had never met I. 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:42.440 Had never met Bob Guiney and I he is one 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:45.160 of those people that I connected with him instantly. 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:49.039 We were at the gala on Friday evening and I 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:51.120 had my hand in the air and I was singing 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:53.960 along to this song cheap Trick. 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:57.240 No, it was actually too amaze by you A room 0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:01.480 stars that's a jam around and Bob was doing the 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:03.640 same and we locked eyes and we just both went, 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:06.640 I get you, you get me. I really love Bob Guiney, 0:07:06.680 --> 0:07:09.279 and I finally am seeing why you for years have 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:12.120 been sighting with no shade to anybody else but your 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:15.440 two favorite the bachelors you've remained closest with as Andrew 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:16.600 Firestone and Bob Guiney. 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:19.160 And Bob's someone I've loved in a door, but he 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:21.720 obviously lives in the Pacific Northwest. We just don't see 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:24.640 each other very often. And it's funny. He's always said 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:27.720 to me, I can't believe I haven't met Elzi. I 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:29.680 feel like I've known her my whole life. I feel 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:31.640 like we're best friends and I've never met her. So 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:34.680 he was equally excited to meet you, and that was 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:36.679 it was awesome. We had an absolute blast. 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:40.680 Bob is a blast in glass and I learned didn't 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:44.400 know this Bob guinea a little older than you. Yes, 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:46.400 I didn't really realize any bachelor it'd ever been. 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:48.920 A lit a rare early bachelor before Byron Velvick when 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:53.400 we specifically went older, Bob, is it? What is it? 0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:56.040 How many months? A few months. Yeah, he's about to 0:07:56.040 --> 0:08:00.720 turn fifty two. Actually, oh, today is actually officially his birthday. 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:01.760 Robbing it on Bobby's birthday. 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:04.320 Oh my gosh it today is actually his fifty second birthday. 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:06.280 Happy birthday. Bomb. 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:10.120 The eighth is his birthday, Mate. And then I turned 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:11.760 fifty two in July, so he's a little bit older 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:14.680 than mate, which is which was very rare at the time. Again, 0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:16.600 one of the reasons we are so close is we 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:17.800 have so many things in commons. 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:18.840 You've gone through life together. 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:21.160 Yeah, we have the same musical taste, we have the 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:23.000 same you know, just vibe. 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:25.000 Well, Bobby's got babies. You got kids in college. Bob 0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:25.760 is a one year old. 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:27.800 Well, and we talk about that coming up in the interview. 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:30.680 We talk about the juxtaposition of our lives of I'm 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.720 going to pick up our kids at college tomorrow and 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:34.640 he has a fan. 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:36.439 He's going to pick them up at daycare a two 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:40.000 year old and he but he's so awesome. 0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:43.240 And one thing I loved about the whole weekend was, 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:46.800 and this is a huge reason that I fell in 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:49.280 love with you from the start, was I loved your friends. 0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:51.559 I think of friends are such a reflection of who 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:54.720 a person is, and Bob is a person who he 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:57.439 immediately brought us into his crew. He's been going to 0:08:57.480 --> 0:08:58.800 the Derby for a long time and he is a 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:00.960 crew he hangs with their and he brought us in 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:03.360 and they were all super fun, and so it was 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:06.000 just like a really quick easy I felt like we 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:08.280 had a group and a Derby family right away. And 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:10.360 I love people like that who are the more, the 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:13.680 merrier and welcoming. And they were so much fun, maybe 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:15.400 too much fun. When it was the last time, we 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:16.080 were out till three. 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:19.240 Am dancing to a Bob Guiney song. 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:23.360 What was the song called again, Girlfriend, Girlfriend. I also 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:24.600 learned Bob Guiney was in a band. 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:26.560 He was in a band called We talk about all 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:28.679 this in the interview fat Amy and all that, but 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:31.920 he was and by the way, very damn good. One 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:34.000 thing I didn't mention in the interview, and I should 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:37.080 mention Bob performed at a charity event that I hosted 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:41.280 in Dallas. Like early days, I hosted this charity event 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:44.760 a friend of ours from school high school had passed 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:47.320 away from cancer, a guy I went to high school with, 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:48.800 and so I wanted to host kind of a big 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:52.640 charity benefit for him and his family and cancer. And 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:55.440 Bob's band came in and played. 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:56.079 He showed up. 0:09:56.120 --> 0:10:00.520 Greg Grunberg was there Slash Alias Slash Star Wars and 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:03.560 everything else. Greig Grunberg has been in and Bob played 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:07.959 and it was incredible. The guy lights the place on fire. 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:11.000 He's so here you can with him. I'm like, oh, 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:13.040 I see why this guy was the Bachelor for sure. 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:27.800 So Friday night we go to the Unbridled Eve Gala 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:31.160 and thank you to Unbridled Eve for having us an 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:32.559 incredible charity. 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:35.040 And an amazing event. I mean, we walked in the 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:38.440 room is stunning. We got to get dressed up. But 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:42.120 the night did not come out come without debate. 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:46.800 Chris Harrison and I, well everybody, we got in an argument. 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:51.960 An argument that tour at the very fabric literally of 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:52.800 our relationship. 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:54.880 It really shook up social media as well, if you 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:58.400 were following our stories this weekend. It had to do 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:02.320 with Elzi's dress. She had the beautiful dress and. 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:05.520 From my favorite boutique here in Austin, Estilo. They also 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:08.240 have an online website shop there. They have the best 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:09.800 curated stuff. 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:11.120 For all your other one thing I like to do 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:14.839 for my lady. I want to know what she's wearing. 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:17.920 I look at her dress. I was wearing a black tux, 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:20.680 but I like to have a little accent to match 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:21.200 your dress. 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:23.720 It's very sweet and I love that about you. And also, 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:26.760 you were great at giving opinions. You really help weigh 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:28.839 in on the style of the evening. And in this case, 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:29.920 you waiting. 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:32.079 Maybe it's a pocket square, maybe it's my bow tie, 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:34.360 whatever it is. But in this case, you were gone, 0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:37.640 you were out of town. So I was packing and 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:39.640 I went into your closet and I pulled out your 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:44.040 dress and I had this amazing dark midnight blue bow 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:46.080 tie and this other blue bow tie, and I'm like, okay, 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:48.440 this will be great for your blue dress. And I 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:50.160 pulled your dress out and I held up the blue 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:54.120 bow tie, and I'm like, this is clashing. This is 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:57.840 not This dress looks blue, but it's not blue. I mean, 0:11:57.880 --> 0:11:59.960 that's so weird. So I went back in my clock 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:02.640 and I had this other bow tie that has like 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:05.800 some really dark emeralds and almost like teals not the 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:10.640 right word, but had these really dark kind of midnight 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:13.280 green dark emerald whatever it is. I held that up 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:16.600 to the dress. I'm like, oh, that's identical. That looks 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:19.040 really good with this. It was kind of this emerald 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:21.200 green leads into blue bow tie. It was really cool 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:24.439 and I'm like, Okay, great, I'm glad I looked because 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:26.359 this dress is not you're feeling. 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:28.600 Proud of yourself. Well, guess what you're wrong. 0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:34.679 Apparently the dress is blue. The dress is not green. 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:38.640 Although I have seen a few people taking your side 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:42.120 on Instagram, but everyone, thank you for weighing in, and 0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:45.400 I feel that overwhelmingly. I'm announcing the results of the 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:47.560 Instagram commentary here on the podcast. 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:50.520 The dress is blue. Blue for the wind. 0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:53.160 Yeah, I mean, and some people really buried me on this. 0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:57.199 People I didn't expect beca Tilly. I'm talking about you, 0:12:57.280 --> 0:13:02.679 Caitlin Bristow, Taylor Harrison daughter. A lot of people really 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:04.120 stabbed me in the back on this one. 0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:07.000 That's your definition of stabbing in the back. 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:11.320 I just look, there was one picture. I will say 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:13.719 that I appreciate you doing that where when you went 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:17.040 to that kind of one picture from the mirror, everyone said, oh, 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:21.000 I see it is a weird kind of light to that. 0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:23.560 I'm gonna win. I want to win fair. It's like 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:26.280 from bringing on the movie, we're going to be the best. 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:28.000 We have to beat the best. So I included all 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:29.080 the most stress. 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:30.920 It's important thing. You look spectacular. 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:31.520 Thank you. 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:35.800 You were the star of that red carpet. And then 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:38.760 we went in and danced star butts off. One thing, Elsie, 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:42.200 and I appreciate about you because obviously a child of 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:43.679 the eighties, I love to dance. 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:45.240 Yes, I do. 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:47.319 Too, and I actually have always felt a little out 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:52.640 of place because my millennial y two k two thousands 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:55.920 of years and high the dancing was what we called grinding. 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:58.680 I mean it was just literally rubbing your butt up 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:02.840 against each other. And I like the eighties dance. I 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:06.760 like the footloose dancing kick those speed out the dances 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:10.360 I would see in John Hughes high school proms and movies, 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:14.040 and so I actually love eighties music, even though we're 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:16.920 sixteen years apart. I grew up like in middle school, 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:19.400 I was using lime wire and Napster to download eighties 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:22.240 music very legally, and so we have all the same 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:24.600 musical references, which really works well for us. 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:26.760 It works very well because it's important us. Music is 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:27.400 important to us. 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:31.440 Yes, but now look what I loved about this weekend 0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:34.360 is the only things we were quote unquote fighting about 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:37.800 were really dumb, minor things. And that always makes me 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:39.800 feel like we have a great relationship because anything we 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:43.080 even remotely laughably butt heads about is so minuscule. 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:44.520 And we really weren't fighting. 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:46.320 No, no, we really were, but we were a little 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:48.760 on the same or not on the same page. At 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:50.160 the end of the night of the night, and this was 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:54.360 on me. We were were dancing for like two hours. 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:57.640 We had a great night, and then everybody else, I mean, 0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:00.480 it's hit in midnight, and I guess some people were 0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:02.960 going to stay at the gala and then maybe go out, 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:04.840 but they still didn't know where they were going yet. 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:07.560 And I was so tired, And this was my fault. 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:09.720 I had stayed up too late packing. 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:11.560 The night before, and so we weren't on the same 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:13.600 page about going out. You were more energized than me. 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:16.360 Well, Jack Harlowe hosted a big party that was not 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:18.200 that nice. Yeah he did. No, that was his night. 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:19.840 He was his party as well. And there was a 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:23.000 Jack Harlow party where I know Patrick Mahomes, the quarterback 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:27.280 for the Chiefs, was there. Aaron Rodgers was there several 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:28.680 other football players. 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:30.280 So I made you miss all these apples, so. 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:33.040 All these I knew all the athletes were there, and 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:36.800 so I knew some other people were showing up. So 0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:38.200 I was like, Okay, this, this party is going to 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:40.720 be pretty good. And we had never been before. I'm like, 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:44.400 let's do this, but we chose not to. 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:46.680 Okay, you're too good of a person. You did not 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:49.280 tell me that that was what you were just like, 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:51.800 there's a party. I didn't realize you'd be missing meeting 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:55.640 these athletes that even as a grown man you idolized. 0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:59.360 Well, I mean, I don't idolize any of them, but okay, Meyer, 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:01.080 it's fun to hay, it's a good hang. 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:03.400 And so you're that good of a person that you 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:04.240 didn't even tell me. 0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:05.960 Well, it's not that big of a deal to be 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:08.440 to go see them, but it would have been fun. 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:12.200 I'm sorry, It's okay. It was probably better because then 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:15.640 we woke up Derby day and we weren't completely wrecked. 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:17.600 Well, right, everybody else has been out till four in 0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:19.560 the morning, and then we had to do the whole 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:21.720 Derby day and I was like, I got nine hours 0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:23.520 of sleep. I'm energized. Good to go. 0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:25.480 The last text I got from Bob Guiney was at 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:27.800 three point thirty in the morning. They had just wrapped 0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:29.680 up in his room. 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:32.520 I just felt on Friday, I danced, I drank, I'd 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:33.760 had fun. Let's call it a day. 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:35.920 One thing. You and I agree, and on a high note, 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:38.560 and on a high note, and ride the wave you're 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:40.160 on and then end on a high note. And you 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:42.440 usually don't regret that because then we got up Derby 0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:44.560 Day and we were ready. And Derby Day is a 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:46.240 long day. You got to hit the red carpet and 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:48.760 do all the stuff around noon one o'clock. 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:52.040 You know, the more and more we're together, this is 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:55.080 just a big thing to say. But the simpleness that 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:57.720 I love about our relationship is we just like to 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:00.320 live life the same way. Like we are all always 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:02.640 on the same page about oh, let's go out to 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:03.760 you tonight. Now, let's stay tonight. 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:06.200 We're tired, we want to rest, or let's let's stay 0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:08.360 out until this time, or let's do this this way. 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:10.280 We're very it's very easy in that way. 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:13.359 And the Derby for you know, when you're there in 0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:15.760 Louisville doesn't start till seven o'clock at night that I did. 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:19.119 The race doesn't seven o'clock at night, and so you 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:21.680 get there at noon one o'clock, so you're a six 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:23.879 seven hour day and plus getting ready and all that, 0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:26.320 it's an eight to ten hour day, which boo hoo, 0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:29.639 but you just got to pace yourself. It is. It 0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:31.520 is a marathon, not a sprint. 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:33.480 Even though it is literally a sprint of a race, 0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:34.399 a two minute. 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:36.840 Race, a mile and a quarter. And yeah, Lauren was 0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:40.240 not the sportiest sports person in the world. But when 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:42.080 I explained to her, they call it, you know, the 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:44.960 fastest two minutes in sports, the greatest two minutes in sports. 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:47.040 She's like, what does that mean? I said, this whole 0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:48.719 thing is going to be over in two minutes. 0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:50.800 She say, run around the track one time. 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:55.240 She's like, all of this is for twenty horses to 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:57.680 run around the track one time and two minutes. I said, 0:17:57.680 --> 0:17:58.080 that's it. 0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:01.080 I guess I can't complain. I complain football's too long, 0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:03.119 and now I'm saying that the Kentucky Derby's too short. 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:06.040 But I will say I am walking away from this 0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:09.440 week in a changed person in that I will no 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:13.240 longer I will never again not read the itinerary. We 0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:15.560 were given an itinerary, and I kind of knew you'd 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:17.400 read it, so I didn't worry about reading it myself. 0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:19.159 I should have read it, because then I would have 0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:21.760 known this two minute thing that had started at seven 0:18:21.800 --> 0:18:22.879 pm that was on me. 0:18:23.440 --> 0:18:25.320 And I am also definitely saying. 0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:28.040 This out loud because I am going to become that 0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:30.920 bride who wants everybody to have read our wedding itinerary, 0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:34.760 so it can't be an Inpacrit anymore. 0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:36.640 I should have read this schedule. 0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:39.960 And the other great thing, Bob Guiney's with us. Were 0:18:39.960 --> 0:18:42.439 having a blast, and there were other great people. We 0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:45.120 were with Lisa Leslie, who I love and adore. Oh 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:48.800 my gosh, you got to know her her and her husband. 0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:53.320 Basketball icon and stunningly beautiful and so kind and just wonderful. 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:55.520 Yeah, she made one short joke that kind of cut 0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:59.320 but she she's awesome and we had a great time time. 0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:00.919 And you know who else showed up to the derby, 0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:03.040 which we didn't know they were coming. It was kind 0:19:03.080 --> 0:19:06.360 of a last minute deal. Jason and Caitlin. Jason starred 0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:09.120 at Kaylin Bristow. We were able to We didn't see 0:19:09.160 --> 0:19:10.520 him derby day, but we were able to meet and 0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:13.760 have breakfast and hang out as well, and so it 0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:15.320 is great to see Jason and Caitlin. 0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:17.840 Very hard to find people the derby. I also didn't 0:19:17.840 --> 0:19:19.440 realize one hundred and fifty. 0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:22.840 Fifty thousand people it was the you know, the most 0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:25.119 one hundred and forty ninth. It just gets bigger and 0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:27.919 bigger every year. They keep adding more grand stands at 0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:30.280 Churchill Downs. It is just massive. 0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:32.720 So we're at the derby, We're trying to find people, 0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:34.919 but also being realistic in that situation, you have to 0:19:34.960 --> 0:19:36.000 sometimes text your friend and. 0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:38.280 Say I love you, I can't get to you, Okay, 0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:39.280 I'll see you when I see you. 0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:41.320 But because we were trying to meet up with too 0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:44.000 many people, but we're we're drinking and we're having fun. 0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:48.000 The race happens, and you guys, there are other races 0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:51.919 before the derby, and I had spent all day picking losers. 0:19:52.359 --> 0:19:57.400 Chris Harrison had spent all day picking winners, and then 0:19:57.440 --> 0:20:00.600 it comes down to the actual derby, and his first 0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:05.360 time ever at the derby, this man picks the winner. 0:20:06.480 --> 0:20:12.359 It was awesome and I felt now in hindsight like 0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:15.560 I might be a jerk because I lost my mind. 0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:18.560 If you saw the video on the stories, I was 0:20:18.640 --> 0:20:21.960 not cool, calm collected, which typically I am. I was 0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:24.560 in it, may have had a few cocktails, having a blast, 0:20:24.920 --> 0:20:27.240 and when I was screaming. You ever had of that 0:20:27.280 --> 0:20:29.919 moment when you're like, you're at a sporting event, so 0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:31.600 you know a lot of people are cheering, but I 0:20:31.720 --> 0:20:34.399 turn around, I realize I'm the only one really yelling, 0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:38.000 meaning I'm the one that really picked this horse. Everybody 0:20:38.080 --> 0:20:40.920 else lost money, which makes you a real a hole 0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:43.760 and a bad winner. And so I felt like I 0:20:43.840 --> 0:20:46.520 was doing a touchdown dance at you know, at someone's funeral. 0:20:46.800 --> 0:20:49.680 But it was so damn fun And I love this horse, 0:20:49.720 --> 0:20:52.479 and I had loved everything about it and had picked it. 0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:53.639 You done a lot of research. 0:20:53.640 --> 0:20:55.320 You were going down the red carpet, and at the 0:20:55.359 --> 0:20:57.320 red carpet at the derby, everyone asked you, well, who 0:20:57.359 --> 0:20:57.800 do you have? 0:20:57.960 --> 0:21:00.760 And you said I had two horses, kings Range and 0:21:00.800 --> 0:21:04.479 then Match or Mage. We're really still not sure how 0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:06.320 to even pronounce the horse. It's m age. 0:21:06.720 --> 0:21:10.200 If it's mage, it rhymes with a word. It shouldn't rhyme. 0:21:10.400 --> 0:21:15.080 Yeah, sad, but so I don't know. But anyway, hindsight, 0:21:15.880 --> 0:21:18.360 I may should have maybe used a little bit more 0:21:18.359 --> 0:21:20.840 of my inside voice, but I couldn't help it. And 0:21:21.040 --> 0:21:21.800 it was awesome. 0:21:21.960 --> 0:21:23.600 Well, I was so happy for you because this was 0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:25.320 such a bucket list moment for you to be at 0:21:25.320 --> 0:21:27.919 the Derby and you had picked the winner, and you've 0:21:27.960 --> 0:21:29.720 done all your research and you're so good at what 0:21:29.760 --> 0:21:32.159 you do. But so I, I mean, I'm like a 0:21:33.080 --> 0:21:35.080 and I was just proud and excited for you. So 0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:36.920 I said, give me your phone. I'm in a film 0:21:36.960 --> 0:21:38.679 while you just watch the race and enjoy. 0:21:39.160 --> 0:21:39.840 And so I. 0:21:40.680 --> 0:21:43.600 Got the moment of you and then I stopped rolling 0:21:43.600 --> 0:21:45.080 and he turns to me and he goes, okay, I 0:21:45.119 --> 0:21:46.240 kind of blacked out for a second. 0:21:46.240 --> 0:21:47.200 Did I swear. 0:21:59.520 --> 0:22:01.400 Speaking of of you know, all the research in the world, 0:22:01.400 --> 0:22:03.480 because usually all the research in the world means nothing 0:22:03.520 --> 0:22:06.440 and you end up losing to you know, whoever picked 0:22:06.440 --> 0:22:08.119 it by the cute name or the color of the 0:22:08.160 --> 0:22:12.399 horse which had that felt was earlier on the card, 0:22:12.680 --> 0:22:15.640 which is the races. We get there, we sit down, 0:22:15.760 --> 0:22:18.480 it was like the sixth or seventh race, and we 0:22:18.480 --> 0:22:20.879 we had this nice little cocktail table. There's a cocktail 0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:23.399 table next to us. There was like eight women and 0:22:23.480 --> 0:22:25.720 like two or three guys at this table, and we 0:22:25.760 --> 0:22:27.600 got to be friends because you're sitting there for quite 0:22:27.600 --> 0:22:32.000 some time. And there was this race and they decided 0:22:32.040 --> 0:22:33.879 the ladies thought it was funny because there was a 0:22:33.920 --> 0:22:35.560 horse called No Balls. 0:22:36.840 --> 0:22:38.320 That can't have been the name. 0:22:38.400 --> 0:22:40.080 The horse was called no Balls. 0:22:40.600 --> 0:22:42.399 I think it was spelled with one L, and we 0:22:42.440 --> 0:22:43.240 were saying it wrong. 0:22:43.400 --> 0:22:45.840 No this horse, I will look it back up. And 0:22:45.920 --> 0:22:47.840 so this horse is not so the ladies, who have 0:22:47.840 --> 0:22:50.199 also had a few cocktails, start giggling and they're like, 0:22:50.280 --> 0:22:53.399 we're gonna bet on this horse No Balls. The guy's like, guy, ladies, 0:22:53.440 --> 0:22:55.840 don't do this. Don't do this. This horse is no good. 0:22:56.160 --> 0:22:59.239 It's a long shot. The ladies don't listen. They go 0:22:59.320 --> 0:23:02.480 put all their money on No Balls. They won six 0:23:02.600 --> 0:23:06.400 thousand dollars. This horse crushed it. 0:23:07.720 --> 0:23:10.600 And this is why gambling becomes a problem. 0:23:10.720 --> 0:23:13.080 So these girls come back and they're screaming, I'm like, 0:23:13.080 --> 0:23:15.000 what happened. They're like, we put all of her money 0:23:15.040 --> 0:23:18.440 on No Balls and they have hundreds and hundreds of 0:23:18.520 --> 0:23:20.320 dollar bills or just like what a great sense? 0:23:20.400 --> 0:23:22.439 Chapter ten of the memoir, all of my money on 0:23:22.480 --> 0:23:23.000 no ball. 0:23:22.920 --> 0:23:25.280 All my money. So then that that became the running 0:23:25.320 --> 0:23:26.960 joke the rest of the Kentucky Derby day. 0:23:27.280 --> 0:23:30.680 Well you picked the winner. You crushed it. And now 0:23:30.720 --> 0:23:34.119 I will say we had an incredible weekend. I mean 0:23:34.160 --> 0:23:36.720 I've seen news headlines in the past years about how 0:23:36.760 --> 0:23:37.919 the whole derby's. 0:23:37.560 --> 0:23:40.120 Been rained out. We had great weather, great people. We 0:23:40.119 --> 0:23:44.800 were just so lucky. We did have some travel and 0:23:46.320 --> 0:23:50.440 commute snaffoos, the first one getting out of there. Now 0:23:50.480 --> 0:23:51.280 I didn't know at the time. 0:23:51.320 --> 0:23:53.439 I later found out this is more people than I've 0:23:53.440 --> 0:23:56.240 ever attended the Derby before. Yeah, and it started pouring 0:23:56.359 --> 0:23:58.800 rain right as the derby letout, So we got it 0:23:58.880 --> 0:24:00.520 great weather all day, and then at the end it 0:24:00.560 --> 0:24:01.160 was so sad. 0:24:01.160 --> 0:24:04.280 It was bizarre. Sure, everyone steps out, so. 0:24:04.600 --> 0:24:07.520 The feathers on the hats are wilding, the mescaras running 0:24:07.520 --> 0:24:09.600 down our faces. Women are taking off their heels and 0:24:09.680 --> 0:24:12.520 just walking through the mud. I didn't blame them. And 0:24:12.720 --> 0:24:16.119 the traffic. We were in a car. The traffic. I 0:24:16.119 --> 0:24:18.119 think it took us an hour and a half to 0:24:18.160 --> 0:24:19.240 get out of the Derby. 0:24:18.960 --> 0:24:20.920 To go about five or six miles back to the hotel. 0:24:21.359 --> 0:24:24.000 Now, granted, I'm happy because I'm like, I'm blessed. I'm 0:24:24.040 --> 0:24:26.720 in a car right now. I am thank you because 0:24:26.720 --> 0:24:29.560 I'm not walking in the pouring rain. But and we 0:24:29.560 --> 0:24:31.720 also just saw people who'd given up. I mean someone 0:24:31.720 --> 0:24:34.040 had grabbed a tarp. They were under a tarp. One 0:24:34.080 --> 0:24:36.679 man was standing on his phone in the rain, just 0:24:36.760 --> 0:24:38.399 not even moving, just like whatever. 0:24:38.520 --> 0:24:39.520 Some people had just given up. 0:24:39.600 --> 0:24:42.600 It is what it is. We get back to the hotel, 0:24:42.840 --> 0:24:44.960 We sit down to dinner with Bob and friends Bob 0:24:45.000 --> 0:24:46.280 and Co. At about ten pm. 0:24:46.560 --> 0:24:48.760 The winter is the amazing place. And by the way, 0:24:48.800 --> 0:24:51.159 shout out to not only the city of Louisville, but 0:24:51.400 --> 0:24:54.359 Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse, Yes, which is where we ate dinner. 0:24:54.440 --> 0:24:56.920 And we didn't know it was just attached to our hotel. 0:24:57.560 --> 0:25:01.959 And it turns out this Jeff Ruby, the gentleman who 0:25:02.000 --> 0:25:05.400 owns it and his family. They sponsor all the jockeys 0:25:05.480 --> 0:25:07.480 and it's kind of a tradition that the winner comes 0:25:07.480 --> 0:25:08.320 to Jeff Ruby's. 0:25:08.760 --> 0:25:10.960 So it was so much fun and all the people 0:25:10.960 --> 0:25:13.840 were so kind, and we're just drinking and having a blast. 0:25:13.840 --> 0:25:17.800 And then I kind of broke my own rule, which 0:25:17.840 --> 0:25:22.000 is don't stay out late. We had a late dinner 0:25:22.880 --> 0:25:25.359 and then we went to the after party, which was 0:25:25.400 --> 0:25:27.240 like almost shutting down. At that point. 0:25:28.800 --> 0:25:33.399 I'm getting everybody tequila shots. People were maybe mad at 0:25:33.400 --> 0:25:35.640 me about that the next morning. What was going through 0:25:35.680 --> 0:25:38.800 your mind? Because you were a lot more you were 0:25:39.280 --> 0:25:41.080 you were not taking the shots with me about. 0:25:41.000 --> 0:25:43.240 When I see you going a certain direction at a 0:25:43.280 --> 0:25:46.320 certain hour, I go the other direction because I know 0:25:46.400 --> 0:25:47.560 one of us is going to have to pick up 0:25:47.600 --> 0:25:48.760 the pieces at some point. 0:25:48.880 --> 0:25:51.080 Wow, I mean you were making it sound like I'm 0:25:51.359 --> 0:25:52.600 pulling me out of the gutter or something. 0:25:52.920 --> 0:25:56.840 You were going. No, I just saw you going to you. 0:25:56.960 --> 0:25:59.080 We were at twenty thousand feet. I saw you taking 0:25:59.119 --> 0:26:01.159 it up to fifty thousand. They fly with me, and 0:26:01.200 --> 0:26:03.639 I said, yeah, I can't. I can't fly that high. 0:26:03.800 --> 0:26:05.800 There's only enough oxygen for one of us. So I'm 0:26:05.800 --> 0:26:09.160 gonna let you go. I'm gonna stay safe down. 0:26:09.280 --> 0:26:11.159 Making me feel even worse about the fact that we 0:26:11.200 --> 0:26:12.879 didn't go to the NFL party. 0:26:13.080 --> 0:26:15.440 But then then we all decided this will be a 0:26:15.480 --> 0:26:18.320 great idea. Let's go back to the hospitality suite, which 0:26:18.359 --> 0:26:20.960 is attached to Bob Guinea's room. And let's turn on 0:26:21.040 --> 0:26:23.120 some music and let's we had a little dance party. 0:26:23.160 --> 0:26:24.679 There was about twelve or fifteen of us. 0:26:25.320 --> 0:26:27.840 Also, essentially it was like we were I kind of 0:26:27.840 --> 0:26:29.520 feel like I was in college again the whole weekend 0:26:29.680 --> 0:26:32.399 because we were doing the thing where you're like pre gaming, 0:26:32.560 --> 0:26:34.720 having a drink in at somebody's hotel room before you 0:26:34.760 --> 0:26:37.639 go out, and then we went back afterwards. It was 0:26:37.680 --> 0:26:39.520 like I was twenty two on a trip to Vegas 0:26:39.520 --> 0:26:40.280 with my friends again. 0:26:40.440 --> 0:26:43.040 And then we wake up Sunday morning. We woke up 0:26:43.080 --> 0:26:45.440 a little early because again Bob Guinny was nice enough 0:26:45.440 --> 0:26:47.120 to come in and do an interview, which you will 0:26:47.359 --> 0:26:50.280 what you'll hear in our bonus episode, so listen to that. 0:26:51.200 --> 0:26:55.119 But then we decided to have breakfast with Jason Tartick. 0:26:55.440 --> 0:26:57.800 Caitlin we saw her after she didn't quite make breakfast. 0:26:58.400 --> 0:27:01.600 Hey fly high baby. 0:27:01.000 --> 0:27:02.560 Our girl had to sleep in a little bit. But 0:27:02.640 --> 0:27:05.040 Caitlyn finally woke up at their moms. 0:27:05.080 --> 0:27:06.360 We did wonderful mom. 0:27:06.200 --> 0:27:09.600 Oh my gosh, missus Tartic and it was so sweet because. 0:27:09.880 --> 0:27:12.439 I didn't expect this, but Jason's like, well, the moms 0:27:12.480 --> 0:27:14.920 really want to meet you, Like, oh, okay, well, great, 0:27:15.000 --> 0:27:16.320 love them and I was so happy to meet them 0:27:16.359 --> 0:27:18.080 because I think we follow each other on Instagram and 0:27:18.640 --> 0:27:20.960 Dale and Lester are just two beautiful ladies. 0:27:21.800 --> 0:27:24.120 So it's wonderful to meet them. Good to see Caitlyn 0:27:24.280 --> 0:27:28.320 and Jason. And we're like, okay, everything's gone so swimmingly. Well, 0:27:28.800 --> 0:27:32.480 this is awesome. Yea. Our flight wasn't until a little 0:27:32.560 --> 0:27:35.520 later in the day and a thunderstorm had blown through 0:27:35.720 --> 0:27:38.000 and it was gone, and we're like, okay, this is 0:27:38.359 --> 0:27:38.960 going to be good. 0:27:39.080 --> 0:27:42.040 Well, let's just take this moment in because we should 0:27:42.040 --> 0:27:44.400 have known, I mean, we were This is the mistake 0:27:44.480 --> 0:27:44.840 you make. 0:27:45.160 --> 0:27:47.320 You're flying too high, too close to the sun. 0:27:47.640 --> 0:27:50.200 There had been a thunderstorm earlier in the day and 0:27:50.560 --> 0:27:52.000 our friends had gotten stuck in it. 0:27:52.000 --> 0:27:54.000 They'd had a horrible travel day. But we're heading to 0:27:54.040 --> 0:27:56.760 the airport, you guys thinking we're immune to this. We've 0:27:56.800 --> 0:28:00.359 got this because everybody else left this morning and we've 0:28:00.440 --> 0:28:03.879 missed the big airport traffic. The thunderstorm is blown through, 0:28:04.400 --> 0:28:12.000 everything's going swimmingly, and then the airport and then the 0:28:12.000 --> 0:28:13.200 horseshoe dropped. 0:28:13.600 --> 0:28:16.639 We walked into the airport and could barely get in 0:28:16.720 --> 0:28:20.880 the airport. When the automatic doors opened up, we were 0:28:20.960 --> 0:28:24.560 faced with this massive humanity and I was like, dear God. 0:28:24.600 --> 0:28:25.760 I was like, thank God, I don't have to get 0:28:25.760 --> 0:28:27.240 in that line. And I don't know what these people 0:28:27.240 --> 0:28:29.119 are doing. I'm going to slide right through. We have 0:28:29.160 --> 0:28:31.560 no bags to check. We are cruising. And then the 0:28:31.560 --> 0:28:35.080 security guy says, this is the security line. Just start 0:28:35.119 --> 0:28:36.159 walking back and so. 0:28:36.840 --> 0:28:39.960 But it's almost hard to describe. There are like the 0:28:40.040 --> 0:28:43.880 amount of people you guys. As we step in, the 0:28:43.960 --> 0:28:46.600 line is wrapped around the side of the airport. But 0:28:46.960 --> 0:28:50.200 we actually for once got to the airport like with 0:28:50.480 --> 0:28:52.280 an hour and a half and a half. We usually 0:28:52.320 --> 0:28:53.920 get there much closer. We were like, could be a 0:28:53.920 --> 0:28:55.560 busy day. We got there with an hour and a half. 0:28:55.840 --> 0:28:58.000 So we see this line wrapping around the airport. But 0:28:58.040 --> 0:28:59.360 we're thinking, well, we've cut time. 0:28:59.400 --> 0:29:00.120 We're good. OK. 0:29:00.560 --> 0:29:02.320 It was the It turned out it was the busiest 0:29:02.360 --> 0:29:05.520 day in the history of Muhammad Ali Airport there Louisville, 0:29:06.000 --> 0:29:08.720 which is insane because. 0:29:08.520 --> 0:29:11.320 We get in there, but we see the line and 0:29:11.360 --> 0:29:14.040 I'm saying to Chris, I don't know, like, is this 0:29:14.120 --> 0:29:16.320 the right line? We do have tsa PreCheck. Is this 0:29:16.320 --> 0:29:18.520 the correct line. A guy tells me no, no, no, 0:29:18.920 --> 0:29:21.240 tsa pre check and not PreCheck. It's all one line. 0:29:21.240 --> 0:29:24.640 We're like, okay, cool. So we start walking and the 0:29:24.640 --> 0:29:29.480 line keeps going. It is around the perimeter of the 0:29:29.560 --> 0:29:34.120 airport twice. Yeah, it just kept going. 0:29:34.240 --> 0:29:35.000 It was laughable. 0:29:35.400 --> 0:29:38.720 I mean so, but what I love is in this situation, 0:29:39.440 --> 0:29:41.920 you and I are both like, well, what can we do. 0:29:42.480 --> 0:29:43.960 I'm like, I don't know. If we're making this flight, 0:29:44.160 --> 0:29:46.320 it happens, we don't get stressed about it. We're like, 0:29:46.520 --> 0:29:46.920 I think. 0:29:46.800 --> 0:29:48.320 It's out of our hands. There's nothing you can do. 0:29:48.360 --> 0:29:50.600 And by the way, it wasn't anybody's fault per se. 0:29:50.720 --> 0:29:53.160 It's just it was a comedy of airs of on 0:29:53.280 --> 0:29:56.120 the busiest day in the history of this airport, weather 0:29:56.160 --> 0:29:59.200 delays and other issues, and there's fifty thousand private jets 0:29:59.200 --> 0:29:59.719 trying to get out. 0:29:59.760 --> 0:29:59.920 It was. 0:30:00.520 --> 0:30:01.400 It was a mess. 0:30:01.680 --> 0:30:04.480 Yes, so we are we jump in the line, and 0:30:04.840 --> 0:30:06.959 I think because I traveled so much for work with 0:30:06.960 --> 0:30:09.200 ET and you obviously traveled so much for work with 0:30:09.240 --> 0:30:11.239 The Bachelor, we're just both of the attitude of like, 0:30:11.600 --> 0:30:12.680 there's nothing we can do here. 0:30:12.720 --> 0:30:15.440 Everybody is trying their best. It's different if you feel 0:30:15.480 --> 0:30:18.400 like someone's screwing you over something, but everybody's doing their best. 0:30:18.400 --> 0:30:21.440 Everyone's kind, We're doing we can. Everybody's in the same situation. 0:30:21.560 --> 0:30:23.640 If you can't control the situation, just go with it 0:30:23.760 --> 0:30:24.400 and deal with it. 0:30:24.440 --> 0:30:26.560 And I don't get why people freak out in those moments, 0:30:26.560 --> 0:30:28.480 because I'm like, who do you think you are? 0:30:28.560 --> 0:30:29.720 Like? You see everyone. 0:30:29.400 --> 0:30:32.320 Around you, right, yeah, right, everybody around you is suffering 0:30:32.320 --> 0:30:33.160 and trying to make a flight. 0:30:33.200 --> 0:30:36.760 To two things I noticed. One, everybody was really cool, 0:30:36.960 --> 0:30:39.920 like everybody around us everybody. Nobody was fighting, nobody was 0:30:40.000 --> 0:30:42.320 yelling like, everybody was chill. Nobody was saying, hey, I'm 0:30:42.320 --> 0:30:44.920 about to miss my flight, because everybody was about to 0:30:44.920 --> 0:30:48.400 miss their flight because nobody expected this delay. We finally, 0:30:48.440 --> 0:30:51.320 after about thirty minutes, we got back to where we 0:30:51.480 --> 0:30:53.600 entered the airport. This is back to the beginning, Back 0:30:53.640 --> 0:30:55.280 to the beginning where we had just walked through the 0:30:55.320 --> 0:30:57.760 electric doors to get into the airport. We to thirty 0:30:57.760 --> 0:31:00.640 minutes to get back to that point, and we see 0:31:01.760 --> 0:31:04.720 a big a list star walk yet yes, I mean what. 0:31:04.880 --> 0:31:07.360 Was Also I felt like the Louisville Airport was like 0:31:07.360 --> 0:31:09.479 the Golden Globes on Sunday. I mean, there were some 0:31:09.560 --> 0:31:12.360 famous faces of people catching flights after the derby. 0:31:12.440 --> 0:31:15.560 I'm going to out this person. It was John Ham. Yes, 0:31:15.920 --> 0:31:16.960 John Ham walks. 0:31:16.760 --> 0:31:18.880 In the airport mad Men star John Ham. 0:31:18.960 --> 0:31:20.880 And I will say this, everybody who walked in the 0:31:20.920 --> 0:31:24.360 airport had the exact same look on their face. It 0:31:24.400 --> 0:31:27.040 was you, you just got out of your car everything 0:31:27.080 --> 0:31:30.320 and the outside of the airport was not indicative of 0:31:30.360 --> 0:31:33.600 the inside. So you walked in thinking everything's cool, and 0:31:33.640 --> 0:31:36.840 you walked into Mayhem and everybody just was like, oh 0:31:36.880 --> 0:31:37.800 my god. 0:31:37.960 --> 0:31:38.960 It was an ocean. 0:31:39.160 --> 0:31:42.360 Yeah. And so John Ham, like everybody else, had this 0:31:42.480 --> 0:31:44.400 oh my gosh, and he had a hat on and 0:31:44.480 --> 0:31:45.880 kind of was trying to keep his head down so 0:31:45.920 --> 0:31:48.960 no one saw him. But he asked this this security 0:31:48.960 --> 0:31:50.800 guard who was right there at the door of like, hey, 0:31:50.840 --> 0:31:53.280 what's the deal, kind of like we did. And to 0:31:53.320 --> 0:31:57.240 his credit, John Ham just said cool, took a left, 0:31:57.600 --> 0:31:59.320 walked all the way to the back of the line 0:31:59.360 --> 0:32:01.560 like we all did. I was like, he took it 0:32:01.600 --> 0:32:04.800 like a chance and no one noticed him. You and 0:32:04.840 --> 0:32:07.280 I just I think you actually noticed a mis entertainment 0:32:07.280 --> 0:32:09.680 tonight and you're like, that was John hamm and so 0:32:09.720 --> 0:32:10.680 we heard the conversation. 0:32:10.760 --> 0:32:12.400 Well, I kind of had a moment where I thought, 0:32:12.560 --> 0:32:14.880 you know, I've interviewed him once or twice. 0:32:14.920 --> 0:32:16.640 I think you've run into him. I had a moment 0:32:16.680 --> 0:32:18.760 where I thought, like if we just if we yelled John, 0:32:19.160 --> 0:32:21.040 I actually would be like, come jump in line with us, 0:32:21.120 --> 0:32:23.240 Like this is chaotic. You know, like anybody when you 0:32:23.240 --> 0:32:25.320 see a friend you were like, hey, come jump in 0:32:26.080 --> 0:32:27.880 the line. Etiquette can be a little iffy on that. 0:32:28.000 --> 0:32:30.200 I think in this case, I actually don't think anybody 0:32:30.200 --> 0:32:32.400 would have cared because the line was so nuts that 0:32:32.440 --> 0:32:34.760 it's like whatever, Yeah, sure if you see your friend, 0:32:34.800 --> 0:32:37.959 but I didn't want to yell to him and like 0:32:38.160 --> 0:32:41.800 make anybody realize who he was. And then he's got to, 0:32:41.840 --> 0:32:44.640 you know, spend the rest of the day taking. 0:32:45.000 --> 0:32:47.440 So John Ham number one, good on you for just 0:32:47.480 --> 0:32:49.000 being a dude and going to the back of the line. 0:32:49.080 --> 0:32:50.320 Number two, sorry, we didn't let. 0:32:50.200 --> 0:32:51.680 You in the line. 0:32:53.320 --> 0:32:57.640 So we finally make it through security. I started a clock, 0:32:58.080 --> 0:32:59.680 so it took us a little over an hour hour 0:32:59.680 --> 0:33:01.040 and a half to get through security. 0:33:01.080 --> 0:33:04.160 And at this point we think we're probably missing our flight. 0:33:04.240 --> 0:33:07.640 But the right the door closes ten minutes before a flight. 0:33:08.120 --> 0:33:12.000 We went through security twelve minutes before our flight. 0:33:12.440 --> 0:33:14.680 It was that closed. We were twelve minutes going through 0:33:14.680 --> 0:33:15.160 the machines. 0:33:15.240 --> 0:33:18.600 We sprint. We Elsie and I had a plan and 0:33:18.640 --> 0:33:21.280 I said, you start running. I will catch you because 0:33:21.280 --> 0:33:23.920 my bags are second. My bag goes through. LZ is 0:33:23.920 --> 0:33:27.840 already running. I'm pretty quick. I did lap you. And 0:33:27.960 --> 0:33:30.360 we make it to gatebe throw that. We make it 0:33:30.360 --> 0:33:32.680 to gate B two and I'm just you know, I'm 0:33:33.360 --> 0:33:34.000 we're gassed. 0:33:34.040 --> 0:33:36.160 Well, we're very good, like, we're very airport aware. 0:33:36.200 --> 0:33:38.040 So we were thinking we could make it because we're 0:33:38.080 --> 0:33:40.800 like okay, I mean, and the airport staff was so nice. 0:33:40.800 --> 0:33:42.560 I'm like, hey, can we go in this security line? 0:33:42.560 --> 0:33:44.200 Please startch a little short. He's like, sure, pop in. 0:33:44.560 --> 0:33:46.880 We're going through, and the American Airlines is app was 0:33:46.920 --> 0:33:48.640 still telling us at that point that our flight was 0:33:48.680 --> 0:33:50.960 on time. So we're trying to make it. We run 0:33:51.000 --> 0:33:53.040 to gaate B two. You run up to the gate 0:33:53.320 --> 0:33:54.200 and they tell. 0:33:54.040 --> 0:33:59.000 You, no, this isn't even your flight. Your flight hasn't 0:33:59.000 --> 0:34:00.920 even landed. Don't worry about it. 0:34:01.040 --> 0:34:04.120 They say, our flight hadn't even the plane wasn't even 0:34:04.200 --> 0:34:04.720 there yet. 0:34:04.760 --> 0:34:08.880 And there it wasn't boarding. The app is wrong. Nothing's 0:34:08.920 --> 0:34:16.040 happening for us. 0:34:21.120 --> 0:34:26.440 And this became the most delightfully dramatic plane You know what. 0:34:26.480 --> 0:34:28.520 I can't say it. You say it. That's your line. 0:34:28.760 --> 0:34:32.200 It became the most dramatic travel day ever. 0:34:33.719 --> 0:34:36.680 But okay, delightful, delightful. 0:34:36.239 --> 0:34:40.360 Delightfully dramatic travel day ever because it wasn't horrible and 0:34:40.400 --> 0:34:44.040 it was actually fun somehow, because the Kentucky Derby is 0:34:44.040 --> 0:34:47.800 so awesome and Louisville and the people. It wasn't bad 0:34:48.040 --> 0:34:50.080 that we spent eight hours in the airport. 0:34:50.440 --> 0:34:54.040 We were never in a bad mood. Everybody around us. 0:34:54.160 --> 0:34:56.160 I mean there were one or two people we were 0:34:56.160 --> 0:35:00.400 getting tense, but I think part of it is the 0:35:00.440 --> 0:35:02.879 spirit of the derby continued. And by that I mean 0:35:03.280 --> 0:35:08.680 most people were drinking. My favorite part maybe was I 0:35:08.719 --> 0:35:10.840 would advise a couple things when you're stuck in the airport. 0:35:10.920 --> 0:35:14.359 One one thing Chris and I always do a you're 0:35:14.360 --> 0:35:15.759 gonna be with each other all day, so you can 0:35:15.760 --> 0:35:17.600 take a break or two from each other and be like, 0:35:17.640 --> 0:35:19.960 get up, stretch your legs, walk around, so we take turns. 0:35:20.480 --> 0:35:22.880 I'll sit, yes, I'll sit with the stuff. 0:35:22.640 --> 0:35:25.719 While he goes and like get snacks, and you know, 0:35:25.760 --> 0:35:27.880 I'm charging the phones and he's off walking around and 0:35:27.920 --> 0:35:30.200 then we'll switch and maybe I go get whatever a 0:35:30.239 --> 0:35:32.440 dinner is gonna be. And I walk around and I 0:35:32.560 --> 0:35:35.200 like to see what else is going on at the airport, 0:35:35.280 --> 0:35:38.279 Like there's great people watching at the airport, and I 0:35:38.360 --> 0:35:41.120 kind of wanted to see is it as crazy everywhere 0:35:41.160 --> 0:35:42.640 in the airport as it is at our gate? And 0:35:42.640 --> 0:35:46.400 the answer was yes. I go for a little walk. 0:35:46.840 --> 0:35:48.719 There are lines of people everywhere. 0:35:49.200 --> 0:35:50.360 It is packed. 0:35:50.920 --> 0:35:54.799 And there is maybe two restaurants the Louisville Airport and 0:35:54.840 --> 0:35:58.200 one of them is a Chili's. And outside of this Chilis, 0:35:58.560 --> 0:36:01.440 I have never seen resourceful like it. They had found 0:36:01.520 --> 0:36:05.160 those tables, those folding tables that you get like Walmart, 0:36:05.560 --> 0:36:08.560 and set them up outside the Chilies for an additional bar. 0:36:09.000 --> 0:36:11.160 Outside of the restaurant. They were serving drinks. I'm calling 0:36:11.160 --> 0:36:12.320 it folding table Chilis. 0:36:12.400 --> 0:36:17.000 They were tailgating inside the airport. There was a tailgate 0:36:17.040 --> 0:36:20.040 party at Chili's. They had moved outside. There were so 0:36:20.040 --> 0:36:22.480 many people. They moved outside, set up a bar and 0:36:22.520 --> 0:36:25.600 were just like someone selling beer or handing out beer 0:36:25.640 --> 0:36:27.120 out of a trough on the corner. 0:36:27.440 --> 0:36:30.320 I mean, I got a double margarita. The bar donder 0:36:30.360 --> 0:36:32.440 was also named Lauren. She had a bottle opener with 0:36:32.480 --> 0:36:36.520 her name on it, and she is pregnant. So thank 0:36:36.520 --> 0:36:39.000 you Lauren for working pregnant and giving the people the drinks. 0:36:39.800 --> 0:36:41.400 I said, can I have a margarita? She said, I 0:36:41.400 --> 0:36:43.200 gotta go get the sweet and sour mix, but I'll 0:36:43.200 --> 0:36:45.719 do it for you. I mean the kindest people. There 0:36:45.800 --> 0:36:48.920 was one airport staff member walking around with palettes of 0:36:49.000 --> 0:36:52.880 water to give everybody water. I was it was a party. 0:36:53.000 --> 0:36:54.640 It was the Derby round four. 0:36:55.160 --> 0:37:00.200 And everybody was also a bit of a humanitary aid situation, 0:37:00.960 --> 0:37:03.760 meming with the palette of water, handing out water. Just everybody, 0:37:03.800 --> 0:37:07.080 make it sure already was okay? You know, everybody's exchanging 0:37:07.320 --> 0:37:09.880 like phone chargers because the guy next to us needed 0:37:09.880 --> 0:37:12.400 a charge. And it was just you know, people taking 0:37:12.440 --> 0:37:14.640 care of people, neighbor taking care of neighbor. 0:37:14.520 --> 0:37:18.080 And they're also always on a crazy travel day becomes 0:37:18.120 --> 0:37:20.880 that part where like the flight of people start to 0:37:20.920 --> 0:37:23.920 band together, we become a team. Yeah, and it's like 0:37:24.080 --> 0:37:26.479 what info do you have about you know the game 0:37:26.520 --> 0:37:28.680 that we're in, meaning, oh, hey, I heard the gate 0:37:28.719 --> 0:37:31.400 agent said this, and you know, rumors starts spreading the 0:37:31.440 --> 0:37:34.560 game of telephone one hundred percent and it becomes okay, well, 0:37:34.640 --> 0:37:36.719 I heard that we just need a crew, and if 0:37:36.760 --> 0:37:38.759 we can just get a crew, like basically, what was 0:37:38.760 --> 0:37:42.279 happening was the weather and all the private planes at 0:37:42.320 --> 0:37:45.960 the airport had majorly backed up travels, so planes were 0:37:45.960 --> 0:37:48.560 sitting on the tarmac for hours, unable to take off. 0:37:48.760 --> 0:37:51.080 At one point, the airport started running out of fuel. 0:37:51.120 --> 0:37:52.239 Fuel trucks came in. 0:37:52.840 --> 0:37:55.040 Then crews were timing out because they can only work 0:37:55.120 --> 0:37:58.719 so many hours, so eventually our plane needed a crew. 0:37:58.840 --> 0:38:01.160 We were actually we felt lucky that we weren't on 0:38:01.200 --> 0:38:04.400 a plane, because those we had friends on planes, and 0:38:04.440 --> 0:38:07.000 they were thirty forty deep on the runway and they 0:38:07.040 --> 0:38:08.840 sat there, as you said, for hours, so they were 0:38:08.840 --> 0:38:11.520 at least stuck on planes. We felt pretty lucky to be. 0:38:11.560 --> 0:38:13.560 In the terminal. I was. I was at the folding 0:38:13.560 --> 0:38:15.240 table chilies. I'd rather be there. 0:38:15.080 --> 0:38:17.000 Than with a guy from Yellowstone. 0:38:17.360 --> 0:38:17.920 I found there. 0:38:18.000 --> 0:38:20.200 I found out you had a little date. We did 0:38:20.200 --> 0:38:24.239 not say you were at Chili's having cocktails with the 0:38:24.239 --> 0:38:25.120 guy from yellow Stone. 0:38:25.239 --> 0:38:28.600 No, I didn't even say hello to him. Oh my gosh, 0:38:28.600 --> 0:38:33.120 you're so was it Kevin Costner or Kevin Costner? He 0:38:33.160 --> 0:38:34.040 needs a drink right now. 0:38:35.000 --> 0:38:37.520 Gosh, for all the Yellowstone fans out there, that is drama, 0:38:37.560 --> 0:38:40.920 by the way, I'm totally divulging, but into a dramatic headline. 0:38:40.960 --> 0:38:44.400 But Kevin Costner, the show is ending after season five 0:38:45.000 --> 0:38:48.239 and he still hasn't signed his new contract. And apparently 0:38:48.600 --> 0:38:50.480 the rumor is that the hold up is he's not 0:38:50.600 --> 0:38:52.880 going to sign on for the show until he finds 0:38:52.920 --> 0:38:55.359 out what John Dutton's fate will be. He does not 0:38:55.400 --> 0:38:57.640 want to be in a situation where like John Dutton, 0:38:57.680 --> 0:39:01.840 I don't know, goes down for I'm choking on a 0:39:01.920 --> 0:39:04.239 rib And that's the way he sees his end. 0:39:04.360 --> 0:39:07.680 I love the power and the leverage that Kevin Costner 0:39:07.719 --> 0:39:09.040 has here, like, well. 0:39:08.920 --> 0:39:10.480 You very much helped make that show. I mean, it's a. 0:39:10.400 --> 0:39:14.279 Great is the show? I mean without Kevin Costner and 0:39:14.320 --> 0:39:16.879 without the pandemic? Have we ever heard of Yellowstone? I'm 0:39:16.920 --> 0:39:20.359 not sure Kevin Costner really put that thing on the map. 0:39:20.400 --> 0:39:22.720 It legitimized it, for sure, Yeah. 0:39:22.560 --> 0:39:24.040 Because it wasn't around for a few years and then 0:39:24.040 --> 0:39:25.520 in the pandemic. I mean that's when you and I 0:39:25.560 --> 0:39:28.080 started watching because we binged. But yeah, it's Kevin Costner. 0:39:28.120 --> 0:39:28.839 I mean, he's an icon. 0:39:28.920 --> 0:39:31.040 And that's not taking away from all the other people 0:39:31.040 --> 0:39:32.560 we've gotten to know and love on that show who 0:39:32.600 --> 0:39:35.040 are wonderful, but it just helped to have that name 0:39:35.120 --> 0:39:38.120 to launch it. And obviously, being confined to our homes, 0:39:38.160 --> 0:39:40.719 we became desperate for content and started watching things that 0:39:40.719 --> 0:39:42.520 we admit. It's a great show, yeah, and it turns 0:39:42.560 --> 0:39:45.879 out now, but the fate of John Dutton is now 0:39:45.880 --> 0:39:49.560 in the hands of this negotiation, and it'd be interesting 0:39:49.600 --> 0:39:53.080 to know if Tyler shared and the Creatorlor shared Taylor. Sorry, 0:39:53.080 --> 0:39:55.239 if Taylor shared, and I have too many Taylors and 0:39:55.280 --> 0:39:57.960 Tyler's in my life, If Taylor Shardan has an idea 0:39:57.960 --> 0:40:00.520 of what he wanted, and if that changes because of 0:40:00.560 --> 0:40:04.600 this leverage that Kevin Costner has, we digress. It was 0:40:04.640 --> 0:40:08.879 not Kevin Costner, but you did see someone from yes, and. 0:40:08.840 --> 0:40:11.240 Again I did not say hi because I didn't want 0:40:11.280 --> 0:40:14.239 to draw attention, but he was. He was over at 0:40:14.239 --> 0:40:20.000 the Chilies as well. The Chilies became the Carbone in 0:40:20.080 --> 0:40:22.840 New York. It became the Beverly Hills Polo Lounge. The 0:40:22.920 --> 0:40:26.040 Chili's was the spot to be. At the Louisville Airport. 0:40:26.080 --> 0:40:27.000 You couldn't get a reservation. 0:40:27.600 --> 0:40:28.400 There was a line outside. 0:40:28.920 --> 0:40:30.080 You had to know people, You had to call it 0:40:30.120 --> 0:40:30.840 months in advance. 0:40:30.920 --> 0:40:32.960 There was there were the ropes, the velvet ropes. Could 0:40:33.000 --> 0:40:33.719 you get around or not? 0:40:33.760 --> 0:40:35.319 If you couldn't, you were at the folding table bar, 0:40:35.360 --> 0:40:37.560 which is where I was. But I was okay with it. 0:40:37.680 --> 0:40:40.280 So, I mean, we started drinking with the people around 0:40:40.320 --> 0:40:43.560 us at our gate, and uh, now there was a 0:40:43.560 --> 0:40:47.000 bit of a test of our relationship. You you're very good. 0:40:46.880 --> 0:40:49.120 At travel and thinking outside the box, and you thought, 0:40:49.160 --> 0:40:51.919 can we get on another flight on standby in case 0:40:51.960 --> 0:40:54.520 this flight doesn't go because they were telling us we 0:40:54.560 --> 0:40:56.480 don't know if ultimately now we have a crew for 0:40:56.520 --> 0:40:56.920 your plane. 0:40:57.000 --> 0:40:59.640 Yeah, because our first crew timed out they went home, 0:40:59.719 --> 0:41:01.319 so our plane was just kind of sitting there. We 0:41:01.360 --> 0:41:04.120 had no crew. Four hours four and a half hours later, 0:41:04.160 --> 0:41:06.520 there was another flight to Austin and we thought, okay, 0:41:06.560 --> 0:41:08.759 I'm just going to go put us on standby, and 0:41:08.800 --> 0:41:13.200 we got on standby and we were number one and 0:41:13.280 --> 0:41:14.240 number two on standby. 0:41:14.360 --> 0:41:16.400 We have a lot of airline points from all our 0:41:16.440 --> 0:41:18.839 work travels. So we're high on status now. 0:41:18.640 --> 0:41:21.520 But Lauren Zima is a little bit higher now than 0:41:21.560 --> 0:41:21.960 I am. 0:41:22.400 --> 0:41:24.840 Smashing the patriarchy with airline points. 0:41:24.880 --> 0:41:28.160 I'm not sure how this happened. So there is at 0:41:28.200 --> 0:41:31.440 the end of the day, one seat remaining on this 0:41:31.560 --> 0:41:33.520 flight to Austin that we know is going to leave. 0:41:33.960 --> 0:41:36.920 And this became a bigger test of our relationship than 0:41:36.960 --> 0:41:38.640 whether the dress was blue or green. 0:41:38.880 --> 0:41:42.200 And this became very public because everybody from our flight 0:41:42.280 --> 0:41:44.080 is now who we know because we've been hanging out 0:41:44.080 --> 0:41:46.759 for six hours, is now standing around and they call 0:41:47.040 --> 0:41:49.920 Lauren Zema Lauren Zema and she goes up there and 0:41:50.280 --> 0:41:52.120 Lauren says, hey, you know, how many seats do you have? 0:41:52.160 --> 0:41:55.400 And they say one, and she says, well, we're traveling together. Sorry, 0:41:56.120 --> 0:41:58.400 we're going to pass. And so you walk back to 0:41:58.400 --> 0:42:00.279 me and they said they only had one seat. Well, 0:42:00.440 --> 0:42:03.520 the next person on the list, Chris Harrison. Please come 0:42:03.760 --> 0:42:04.440 Chris Harrison. 0:42:04.480 --> 0:42:07.759 So now it's being announced around the whole airport obviously. 0:42:07.280 --> 0:42:10.160 And everybody from our flight, we've all gotten to know 0:42:10.200 --> 0:42:12.080 each other, so now they know. And I walk up 0:42:12.120 --> 0:42:15.560 there and I said, I don't know. Everybody should I 0:42:15.600 --> 0:42:17.320 take it? Is this going to be the end of 0:42:17.360 --> 0:42:18.440 our relationship? 0:42:19.080 --> 0:42:20.759 I can't believe you're saying this is such a laugh 0:42:20.840 --> 0:42:22.400 right now? We are. Really it was. 0:42:22.400 --> 0:42:24.880 A good moment. Everybody really enjoyed the moment. 0:42:24.960 --> 0:42:27.160 Were you performing for the crowd or were you really 0:42:27.200 --> 0:42:29.600 thinking about taking that seat and leaving me at the 0:42:29.640 --> 0:42:30.880 Louisville Airport. 0:42:30.560 --> 0:42:36.640 A little bit of both. No, at the end of 0:42:36.640 --> 0:42:39.280 the day, fly together. At the end of the day. 0:42:39.640 --> 0:42:41.640 It all worked out the good karma. And then the 0:42:41.680 --> 0:42:43.200 third girl who was in. 0:42:43.160 --> 0:42:45.160 Line behind us, she's blowing past this. 0:42:46.760 --> 0:42:49.480 I would not have taken this seat, but it made 0:42:49.560 --> 0:42:51.360 for a really fun public moment. 0:42:52.239 --> 0:42:53.000 You were entertaining. 0:42:53.080 --> 0:42:56.160 The people was thinking would this guy take? I mean, 0:42:56.239 --> 0:42:59.600 think about how public that would have gone. Chris Harrison 0:42:59.680 --> 0:43:01.840 leaves or Zona headline in the lurch. 0:43:02.040 --> 0:43:04.360 Although I will tell you I had friends and family 0:43:04.520 --> 0:43:06.440 at the airport at this point. I would have been fine. 0:43:07.280 --> 0:43:09.800 My girl at the Chili's, she would have gotten another margarita. 0:43:09.840 --> 0:43:10.359 I'm good to go. 0:43:10.520 --> 0:43:12.080 So we all take the Walk of Shane back to 0:43:12.160 --> 0:43:15.120 our gate, back to our original plane, which still doesn't 0:43:15.160 --> 0:43:19.680 have a crew. But then it happened. Two flight attendants 0:43:19.680 --> 0:43:25.520 show up then, and the crowd goes wild. The airport, 0:43:25.640 --> 0:43:31.080 our little gate erupts into standing ovation. These two gentlemen, 0:43:31.280 --> 0:43:34.480 our flight attendants, have no idea what's going on. They 0:43:34.560 --> 0:43:36.120 just got to work. They're like, what in the hell. 0:43:36.239 --> 0:43:37.919 They don't know that we've been waiting there for seven 0:43:37.960 --> 0:43:40.880 hours that we The flight attendant literally goes, what happened 0:43:40.920 --> 0:43:41.200 to you? 0:43:42.280 --> 0:43:45.839 Then one pilot, the main guy, shows up. 0:43:45.920 --> 0:43:47.680 Applause, applau clause. 0:43:47.800 --> 0:43:50.800 The people go crazy. He has no idea what everybody's 0:43:50.800 --> 0:43:52.839 applauding about, but he takes it in. 0:43:53.320 --> 0:43:57.320 Then the co pilot, whoo, you always need a co pilot. 0:43:57.400 --> 0:43:59.560 That's a lesson, don't leave a person behind. 0:43:59.760 --> 0:44:02.680 This guy apparently he's used to applause because he leaned 0:44:02.719 --> 0:44:05.720 into it and starts waving to the people and really 0:44:05.800 --> 0:44:08.319 enjoyed the moment of getting a standing ovation, doing a. 0:44:08.440 --> 0:44:10.800 Royal the Queen in the utter coronation wave. 0:44:11.040 --> 0:44:13.719 And I love that everybody had this vibe of we 0:44:13.719 --> 0:44:16.360 were just happy, even after eight hours. We were happy 0:44:16.360 --> 0:44:19.160 to have the crew. They showed up and they flew 0:44:19.239 --> 0:44:21.920 us to Austin. The flight was fun because everybody was 0:44:21.920 --> 0:44:24.279 in this mood of we had just made it through 0:44:24.280 --> 0:44:26.799 something together and we made it home. 0:44:26.960 --> 0:44:29.600 We made it home. I have to be honest, I 0:44:29.600 --> 0:44:30.640 didn't think it was going to happen. 0:44:30.719 --> 0:44:33.040 I mean, we'd kind of resigned ourselves to like, look, 0:44:33.080 --> 0:44:35.320 we might be going back to Jeff Rubies and Louisville, 0:44:35.320 --> 0:44:38.240 having another great dinner and just leaving in the morning. 0:44:38.320 --> 0:44:43.800 But it took off. It happened, and I actually, looking 0:44:43.840 --> 0:44:48.000 back on it now reflecting the next morning, I love 0:44:48.040 --> 0:44:48.640 that it happened. 0:44:48.680 --> 0:44:50.960 I'm not saying I don't know, it's weird. I've probably 0:44:50.960 --> 0:44:53.160 never felt so good about being stuck at an airport. 0:44:53.280 --> 0:44:55.520 I always say airports bring out the best in people 0:44:55.560 --> 0:44:56.640 and the worst in people. 0:44:56.920 --> 0:44:59.880 But in this case, it was the best. Everybody was happy. 0:45:00.000 --> 0:45:02.000 Answer for me, no, and now we've actually got a 0:45:02.080 --> 0:45:03.879 story and it was great. 0:45:04.000 --> 0:45:07.279 And kudos to everyone at the Louisville Airport, all of you. 0:45:07.480 --> 0:45:10.279 We feel your pain from yesterday. Hopefully everyone got to 0:45:10.280 --> 0:45:12.560 where they needed to be either today or tomorrow. But 0:45:13.560 --> 0:45:14.280 it was awesome. 0:45:14.320 --> 0:45:16.360 What was a lesson you're taking away from the weekend. 0:45:18.880 --> 0:45:22.520 People in the Midwest are amazing. People are good. Louisville's amazing. 0:45:22.560 --> 0:45:25.520 The people of Louisville. The Kentucky Derby was an incredible experience. 0:45:25.960 --> 0:45:30.960 And people are good. Most people are good. Yes, they 0:45:31.040 --> 0:45:34.600 help each other. Everybody was doing their best. Everyone at 0:45:34.640 --> 0:45:37.800 the restaurants were doing their best. Everybody was really kind 0:45:38.480 --> 0:45:43.560 and if everybody can keep that attitude, it made everything okay. 0:45:44.120 --> 0:45:46.960 I saw everybody was feeding off that vibe. 0:45:47.239 --> 0:45:50.000 I saw something. It's almost like as your phone listening, 0:45:50.040 --> 0:45:52.400 but I saw something on my phone yesterday that it 0:45:52.480 --> 0:45:56.279 was just a quote that said something like negativity is contagious, 0:45:56.800 --> 0:45:58.120 but so is joy. 0:45:58.480 --> 0:45:59.399 And I was thinking. 0:45:59.400 --> 0:46:01.279 There was one guy at our gate who was I 0:46:01.320 --> 0:46:03.200 mean literally at one point he was kind of punching 0:46:03.239 --> 0:46:05.920 his bag and talking to himself. He was really freaking 0:46:05.960 --> 0:46:08.200 out about the fact that this flight was late. And 0:46:08.239 --> 0:46:11.880 I noticed on the plane towards the end he actually 0:46:12.400 --> 0:46:15.040 was smiling. And I think what happened was just he 0:46:15.239 --> 0:46:17.319 kind of saw like when you see that everyone else 0:46:17.360 --> 0:46:19.839 around you is helping each other out, is laughing, you 0:46:19.920 --> 0:46:22.080 start to think, wait, you start to look at yourself 0:46:22.120 --> 0:46:24.280 and go, hold on, why am I not in this place? 0:46:24.400 --> 0:46:26.560 Or maybe you just get in a better mood from 0:46:26.600 --> 0:46:29.759 what you're seeing around you. And he had adjusted and 0:46:29.840 --> 0:46:33.560 so that made me really happy. And like you said, 0:46:33.560 --> 0:46:37.239 it was just people are generally good everybody. We had 0:46:37.360 --> 0:46:41.480 no bad moments yesterday, even though we were in what 0:46:41.600 --> 0:46:42.880 could have been a bad situation. 0:46:43.239 --> 0:46:45.160 Smile, it's contagious. 0:46:47.800 --> 0:46:48.080 Well. 0:46:49.000 --> 0:46:52.279 It was the most sorry for taking your line, delightfully 0:46:52.360 --> 0:46:56.960 dramatic day and weekend ever, the most delightfully dramatic Derby. 0:46:57.160 --> 0:47:00.040 From the Derby winner to the Emerald Green dress, to 0:47:00.160 --> 0:47:04.239 the travel to the John Hamm of it all.
