Yeah, why 0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:14.040 don't we talk about that all episode? Yeah, that makes 0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:16.720 perfect sense to me. It makes kind of good sense 0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:20.320 to me too. Yeah, So how is relationship life? I 0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:24.959 mean it's been good. Um, well, obviously, like we've that 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:30.200 sounds promising, it's good. We're taking one out of time. 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:32.319 It's funny because like we've obviously been known to be 0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:34.199 in a relationship for a long time, Like we got 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:36.520 sniped pictures a couple of times when you're in Italy 0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:39.160 and then like on planes and then in Venice, and 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:41.760 so it's like it's been you're just so famous, we're 0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:44.440 like really freaking famous, and it kind of was, you know, 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:47.640 everybody wants to take pictures of you, but it's pretty crazzy. 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:51.440 It's pretty challenging sometimes when you're just this famous, popular 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:54.600 and like everyone cool taste of you, but you don't 0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:57.200 have that many tastes to give out. No, you're only 0:01:57.240 --> 0:01:59.400 one man, only one lollipop. I only be like so 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:00.880 many times, you know what I mean, Yeah, until you 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:03.320 get to the center, right and then you find out 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:05.480 that nothing is actually there, Yeah, and then you have 0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:08.000 no heart. But no, we can finally be in a relationship, 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:10.080 which is great. I can finally like, well, we can 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:12.080 finally start posting each other on our stories, like when 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:15.359 we're hanging out. Do you have any videos old videos 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:17.480 that you took when you guys were supposed to be 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:20.200 a secret couple. We're going to post And I've been 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:22.160 meaning to do this actually, just like running through all 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:26.959 of my old UM photos and like posting them on 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.239 my story tell the old dial tone here on help 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:31.720 I second danting and like catching people up on what 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:33.720 what we've been doing before we could really share anything. 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:35.040 But I have not really got around to that yet. 0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:36.800 Maybe I'll do it, maybe I Well, we saw on 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:40.119 the end of Bachelor in Paradise the after credits you 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:44.640 did a MTV Cribs style of your van, which it 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:48.399 wasn't a very long episode. It's a small space. Yeah, 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:51.240 it was getting bigger van or something. No, I think 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:53.560 the van is great. I'm just saying, you know, it's 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:57.520 probably what hundred how many square feet is your van? 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:02.960 I almost gave yeah, I almost said a hundred and 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:06.600 fifty and as the words were leaving my mouth, I'm 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:09.239 an idiot. Um. That video originally was like three or 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:11.240 four minutes long. We cut it down for a minute. 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:14.000 And actually I didn't see the credits. Uh. I saw 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:15.799 what she posted on her story, which I assume the 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:19.399 same same thing, right, and so it's quite you're very crafty. 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:22.359 You made those drawers. Do you say drawers or drawings? 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:27.200 It's eighty six square feet. By the way, how do 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:30.600 you know that? I googled it, K how many cubic 0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:33.280 feet do we have? We're working with man, I gotta 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:35.520 do some math on that. Just maybe check the height 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:39.200 and then multiply the square feet by the height and 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:42.280 that gives its cubic feet. Because that's pretty That's an 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:44.000 important thing, right, Like normal house, you've got like a 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:45.480 ten foot tall ceiling, but in my van, it's a 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:47.200 six ft tall ceiling, so the cubic feet is going 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:49.040 to be less than a one normal forty eight foot 0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:53.120 square Well, would you say within the van world that 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:56.760 your van has vaulted ceilings? I mean it's a high top. 0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:59.240 It's a very high top. Vaulted ceilings. I got and 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:02.040 actually get like hindeli or something to hang from it. Um. Yeah, 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:03.680 so we did be a ceiling fan. We did the 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:05.800 credits thing, which was you know that was a fun 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:07.520 little that was like by the only word I said 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:11.240 all Paradise Reunion van um, just like the red credits, 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:13.280 Like I didn't really say anything the entire episode, you know, 0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:15.680 I don't know. Yeah, they didn't show you saying anything. 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:17.719 I didn't. I didn't say anything. You really didn't know, 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:19.200 Like I didn't really have anything to chime in on. 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:21.440 Like there was the whole Like obviously Blake was up there, 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:24.200 I said in my piece with Blake, and then um, 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:26.280 like Clay was on the hot seat, didn't air him 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:27.880 from what I understand, and like Dylan was up there, 0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:30.240 Tasso was up there, Uh, Katie and Chris were up there. 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:31.640 But like I'm not gonna like trip in and like say, 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:35.440 like Jordan and Christian were fighting, I was like holding 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:37.360 Jordan's I'm sorry I was holding Christian back a couple 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:39.680 of times. I was like, just sit down, Like who cares, 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:41.120 No one cares to sit down. Don't fight him. You're 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:43.359 not gonna fight him. Um. I was like very silent 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:45.039 and actually was the first time in all four shows 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:47.719 that I've done that I didn't have a hot seat. 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:50.480 I don't know like if I should be offended or 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:52.680 if I should be happy about that. Are you trying 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:54.680 to say your old news now? It was just a 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:57.400 weird feeling like I was cared about less this season. 0:04:57.440 --> 0:05:01.200 Why doesn't everybody care about me? Yes, I don't know. 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:02.719 I'm used to being cared about. This is the first 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:04.320 time I haven't been cared about. Well, you are very 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:06.800 cared about, to the point where I have a question 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:09.600 for you, because I have been being asked this question 0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:13.400 for the past few days numerous times. So you wore 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:16.640 a sweet, sweet salmon jacket, and then it was very 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:20.839 noticeable that you had a necktie on with a medallion 0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:24.240 that had a sea on it, and everybody is curious. 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:26.560 Everybody in the world who's taking pictures of you, from 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:31.080 Venice to Kelly, wants to know, Dean, did the sea 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:33.760 stand for Kalin? Well, first and foremost, it's called the 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:36.719 bolo tie. I don't know what it's called the necklace 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:39.440 with the medallion. It's a necklace, it's around your neck. 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:42.839 It has a medallion. Um, but what you are in 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:45.240 this case because it's called the bolot type? Blow got it? 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:48.200 He learned something new. Every day was for Chris Harrison. 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:50.120 And I don't know why anyone would think it was 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:52.080 for anything else than that. Oh, I don't know, maybe 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:54.719 for your girlfriend. Oh yeah, it's got double meaning for 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:58.719 her too. Yeah. So actually ordered to like the day 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.440 of one for Chris for calin No, I ordered one 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:04.400 that was like a sick big elk head with sweet 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:07.080 huge antlers and it was like really large, and I 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:09.240 was like, this thing is so cool and I want 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:10.720 to wear it so bad, and it was like this 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:13.159 copper color is so sick. But then I got to 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:14.520 see one as well as like this could be like 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:18.240 a fun gesture to wear for Caylin obviously, and I 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:20.799 brought both of them to the reunion um Hotel sweet 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:22.400 that we were saying, and before the show, and like 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:23.760 even at the very last second, I was like, this 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:25.760 one's so cool, but this one so much sweeter. So 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:27.520 I don't know which one to wear. So I'm gonna 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:29.840 say I reserved the elk head for um a later 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:33.000 time perhaps, But yeah, the sea was for Kylin. Um, 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:35.080 well that's so sweet. Yeah, I'm a pretty thoughtful guy. 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:38.880 Well you can just wear the elk head. Uh maybe 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:42.360 your wedding, shut up, maybe at the red carpet here 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:44.720 in um Las Vegas. Yeah, And then you can give 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:46.280 the back story. I think everybody would love to you. 0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:49.120 Although I did not bring it. Um, well, that proposed 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:51.159 a problem obviously, right I did. I only brought really 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:52.480 one outfit. So I'm just gonna be wearing the same 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:54.680 thing every single night, the shorts you're currently wearing. Um, 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:56.120 I brought these inner pair of jeans that I wore 0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:57.880 last night that you'll see me in, um every night 0:06:57.920 --> 0:06:59.880 from here on out it Las Vegas? Are you going 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:02.120 where your beanie all week? Um? I'm gonna wear my 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:04.040 bucket hat that Calin actually got me from the Cayman 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:07.839 Islands and I put my lucky feather in it. Lucky. 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:09.360 Why is this feather lucky? I don't know. I just 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:10.680 found it when I was in Utah and I just 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:12.560 called I dubbed it my lucky feather. From this point, 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:14.560 for how long have you had this feather? A week? 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:18.560 Has it brought you luck? Um? Actually, now I dislocated 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:20.640 my shoulder on Sunday, I'd get rid of the feather, 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:24.680 So no, it's been pretty unlucky. Um. So what else 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:26.520 is happening since the show? So have you guys? You 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:28.120 guys have been traveling a lot. Well, this is the 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:31.640 first time I've seen Caylin since uh, like it two 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:35.040 weeks ago. Wait, so Vegas is we're currently recording in 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:37.040 Planet Hollywood at Las Vegas, and this is the first 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:39.920 time you're seeing Calin in two weeks something like that, 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:42.360 maybe like ten or eleven days. So you guys certainly 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:46.560 give each other, uh your individuality. Yeah, I mean I 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:49.920 kind of encourage us to take our space from each other. 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:53.160 She was so like I was in Los Angeles and 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:54.600 we were like hanging out there. Obviously I was there 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:56.000 for a couple of days. I think it was actually 0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:58.120 after the reunion show. It could have been anyways. And 0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:00.200 then now that doesn't make sense timeywise, and then I 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:02.920 drove out to Denver and like stopped in Utah to 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:04.640 rock climb for a couple of days, went to dinner 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:05.880 for a Broncos game, and then went back to you 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:07.200 taught the rock climb for a couple of days. And 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:09.040 obviously she's not gonna come with me on those trips. 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:11.360 Why not, She's not gonna rock climb. She doesn't want 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:12.800 to just sit in my van while we're out like 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:17.880 climbing rocks. There are other um adventures that she would 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:20.239 like to go on that. You could bring her. Maybe 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:23.680 not rock climbing, but she there's indoor rock climbing. That's 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:25.320 a lot of fun for a couple. Yeah, but I'm 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:26.960 not gonna drive my van to like an indoor rock 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:29.680 climbing gym. Could be fun. You're not wrong. You want 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:31.720 a double date. We could both go there. I've totally done. 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:36.760 I've done it once. Very stressful on the forearms, in 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:39.160 the hands. The good pump you get, it's a great pump. 0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:41.160 I would love to see Ashley try to do that, 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:42.480 and I would love to see Klin trying to do 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:44.400 that too. I think could be hilarious. Yeah, until dumb, 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:47.600 let's do it. Honestly, women are more often than not 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:49.679 better rock climbers than men, just because the way that 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:52.000 they're like their weight is distributed, and like their weight 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:55.120 to power ratio is typically stronger than like a man's. 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:59.319 Really sometimes I don't know anyways, our next adventure, we 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:02.920 are so the vans in Denver. Now I fled to Egypt. Next, 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:05.520 I fled Egypt on Monday. What are you doing in Egypt? 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:07.360 I just always wanted to go. Yeah, you're gonna go 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:10.160 see the pyramids? Um so I'm going by myself to Egypt, 0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:12.720 and then I get back from Egypt, we are going 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:17.079 to my best friend's sister's wedding in Hawaii where Caylin 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:18.200 are going to that. And then when we get back 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:20.960 from that, Caitlin's best friend is getting married in Arizona, 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:22.840 so we're going to take the van from Denver to 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:26.600 Arizona nice and do that. So it sounds like things 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:30.160 are going pretty well. I mean, yeah, I don't think 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:32.800 that they're not going well. No, that's great, that's good 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:34.560 to hear. We're all very happy for you, that's all 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:37.480 I'm asking. Um, No, it's been good. Like I said before, 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:39.600 it was it must be weird for you because you're 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:41.760 in such a public relationship. But I know that you 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:45.240 guys are still you know, you're still in the early 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:48.120 stages of dating. So I think, even for myself, we're 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:54.280 you're always enquiring for more because it from a viewer standpoint, 0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:56.760 we've seen you guys go through so much already, Like 0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:59.640 a week in Paradise really isn't that long, but in 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:02.200 that world, it is long. And then you left and 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:06.960 then did this big, grand romantic gesture and won her back, 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:10.400 and so I think everybody from an audience standpoints like, oh, yeah, 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:13.079 they're they're going really strong. They are a solid relationships. 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:14.960 Not to say you guys aren't, but it's just still 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:17.520 so early. It's funny to hear like how critical people 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:19.719 are of like the things that I'm saying and doing 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:21.360 in the relationship. Like Cayleen and I have been dating 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:24.560 for two months and like, I haven't. I don't. I 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:26.400 haven't fallen in love with her, right, And people on 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:28.600 the internet are like, oh my god, he's such a dick. 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:31.280 He doesn't love his girlfriend. And I'm like, I've been 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:35.080 dating her for two months. Yeah, not to be a jerk, 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.079 I doubt she's falling in love with you too. She's 0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:39.840 she's way in love with me, and that makes sense actually, 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:42.560 Like um, even like on the video that she posted 0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:44.600 when we finally, finally can announced yourselves as a couple. 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:46.480 In the last video, she goes like, that's when you 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:48.280 fell in love with me, and I didn't respond and 0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:50.800 I was just like we were joking obviously, and people 0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:52.720 in the comments were like, oh my gosh, you need 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:55.679 to find a man that tells you he loves you, etcetera, etcetera, 0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:57.360 and I was like reading those comments just because like 0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:59.320 it's funny to me to read them, and I'm like, 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:02.120 I've we've been dating for two months. I don't think 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:04.280 it's that strange that I'm not in love with her yet. 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:06.440 Then vice versa, she probably honestly really isn't in love 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:09.080 with me. It's just like, it's it's so silly that 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:12.920 people are like, especially sorry to interrupt you, it's really funny. 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:16.400 Is the van thing? People are like, oh my god, 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:19.360 Calin can't live in a van. She's not van of 0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:22.280 like equipped or like equipped to handle that. And my 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:25.000 response to that in my head is always she's not 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:26.960 living in the van. Yeah, and she's not going to 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:29.200 live in She has a very nice apartment in West 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:31.600 Hollywood that she lives in and she like sometimes takes 0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:33.679 trips with me in the van to places. Well. I 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:37.000 guess the question is for you guys going forward, do 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:38.679 you how long do you see yourself living in the 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:41.040 van because this is a choice by you because you 0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:43.600 wanted to really experience that lifestyle and see what it 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:45.720 was all about and travel, and so do you see 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:48.080 yourself living in the van for a long center period 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:50.079 of time or do you see this more of a 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:52.319 short term over the next couple of months, and then 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:56.000 most likely will be getting back into the normalcy of, 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:58.840 you know, living in an apartment in Los Angeles. I mean, 0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:00.560 it's going low enough to the point where I don't 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:03.319 foresee it ending anytime soon. I probably will if I 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:05.319 can make it till next June. That's great. That's kind 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:07.520 of what I'm setting my sights on. But honestly, like, 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:10.199 I don't have any reason to want to move back 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:13.280 into an apartment. Do you ever not feel safe? I 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:15.520 think my paranoia would take off, and I've got a 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:18.719 gun to protect myself. Yeah, I don't think there's a 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:20.600 I don't think it's appropriate to talk about guns. It's 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:22.800 not inappropriate. But I mean, I don't care if you 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:24.920 want to get If you're listening to this and you're 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:27.160 getting upset with me for owning a gun, um, that's 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:30.280 very much your right to be upset with me. But 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:32.240 also I hope you know that I went through the 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:35.600 proper procedures to own the gun. It is a single 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:39.439 uh handgun. It's not like the fully automatic rifles like 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:43.120 that's where the gun of coursitions should be taken into account. 0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:46.199 I'm all for gun ownership. I just I'm all for 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:49.400 responsible gun ownership. And one thing, Dean, you remembery you 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:52.000 saying how surprisingly easy it was for you to get that, 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:54.200 And I think that's a comment on the state of 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:58.960 our system, especially in the state of California. California in 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:01.640 America might be the most difficult state to get a gun, 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:05.040 and it was still incredibly easy. I think that's a problem. 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:06.880 Someone tweeted at me because they listened to Las Week's 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:08.480 episode and they said something along the lines of they 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:10.520 were shocked at how easy I made it sound because 0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:12.280 they were Canadian and how difficult it is to get 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:14.960 a gun in Canada. Um. And like, I don't know 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:17.520 enough about any of this stuff, like gun legislation or 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:19.079 all that stuff to really have like a strong opinion 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:20.320 of it. I do know that there needs to be 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:22.960 things that need to be addressed and fixed, because obviously 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:27.000 you see all of this horrible, horrible things that happened. Um. 0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:30.239 But it's like I think that just because like I'm 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:33.560 some super liberal progressive doesn't mean that I can't own 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:36.000 a gun to protect myself here. No, oh, of course. 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:40.120 And I was never alluding to that. I just met 0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:43.320 in terms of the overall theme of this podcast, But 0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:44.839 I don't think that's I don't think it's inappropriate to 0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:47.079 talk about because like it's it's life. You know, I 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:48.760 have a gun. I'm not gonna lie about not having 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:51.319 a gun. I also think it's it's appropriate to talk 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:54.000 about just because of the state of our our society 0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:56.760 right now in this country and how many mass shootings 0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:59.120 there are. I think there needs to be more conversation 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:04.120 about gun control and the uh you know, possible changes 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:07.040 that need to come within it um, even on a 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:10.400 platform like help By such a Dating because unfortunately, you know, 0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:14.240 you see a lot of a lot of bad things 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:17.679 overflowing into a lot of different areas of life today. 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:19.600 But we don't need to continue to talk about that, 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:21.080 because I know this podcast is supposed to be an 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:23.920 escape for a lot of people and having fun. Uh. 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:25.720 So we do have a very special guest coming up 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:29.080 uh that has a brand new I Heart Radio podcast 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:30.680 that you will be able to listen to coming out 0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:34.120 this week. But before we talked to her, let's take 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:43.480 a little break. Welcome back to Help I Suck a 0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:46.840 Dating live from Planet Hollywood, Loss Vegas.

It's always more fun to say live, 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:57.040 as if I did the same thing at the top 0:14:57.040 --> 0:14:58.480 of the episode and I thought it back and I 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:00.080 was like, what I say live, we're not live. It 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:02.920 reminds me of when they're covering Times Square, what is 0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:06.280 it the it's the whatever?

So you're on 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:10.280 Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and you're also starting a 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:12.880 podcast with I Heart Radio. I'm starting a podcast about 0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:15.240 going down the rabbit hole? What does that mean? Okay, 0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:18.320 So example, I'll start with you. So I watched Bachelor 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:22.120 in Paradise, and so casually I'll like go onto y'all's 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:24.680 Instagram and then I don't even know what happens, but 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:27.840 I find myself forty five minutes later on like your 0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:30.760 Aunt's brother, Sisters, Dogs page, and I'm like, how did 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:33.520 I get here? And why do I care? So it's 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:36.360 really about any kind of topic that's currently going on, 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:39.560 digging deep and finding out all the information and then 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:42.000 getting the specialists on to talk about very cool I 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:45.520 like that, and how did you get involved with that? 0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:47.760 Because it's like, I don't know, it seems like a 0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:51.240 very interesting thing for me specifically, I've had this experience 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:53.080 when I first got my first motorcycle. I was like 0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:56.600 looking up motorcycle crashes, fatal motorcycle crashes, and then all 0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:58.600 of a sudden, I was watching like hummingbirds eating out 0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:02.520 right plan you go down the rabbit hole of YouTube, 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:04.360 But like you know, it's just it's a very good 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:06.480 it's a great concept because I realized it was something 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:08.520 that I actually do. Like I'll lay in bed at night, 0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:09.840 I'll be like, I'm just going to go to sleep, 0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:12.280 and then I'll start slowly and then I'll just have 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:15.840 gotten into a deep situation and I'm like I need 0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:17.600 to know more, and then I like need to talk 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:20.280 to doctors and specialist and somebody that actually does it 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:22.520 so I can have every little crumb I don't I 0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:25.320 don't want to miss it. Is there anything that you 0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:28.120 want to learn more about? Specifically? Is there one thing 0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:33.280 like this is why I'm starting the podcast. No, it's everything. 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:34.880 I think that's the beauty of it. It doesn't matter 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:37.800 if I'm watching reality television show or it's a serial killer, 0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:41.480 or it's about narcissism. I just want to know what 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:44.399 kind of what's your favorite reality television show. There's a 0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:47.560 right answer here. I hate to say about its Bachelor Paradise. 0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:51.119 I know, I know it's like and now that you 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:53.639 guys are here, I'm like, oh my gosh, I can't. Well, 0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:57.479 I do watch my arts, like my season, because I've 0:17:57.520 --> 0:17:59.879 watched all of the season. I actually used to be 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:01.800 it used to be Bachelor for me, and then I 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:04.400 just switched the last couple of seasons. I haven't done 0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:07.000
