Speaker 1: we talked all about you, all about your show, and

7
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: you know, and I even thought a few times, I'm like, gosh,

8
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,639
Speaker 1: you know, Trista, I don't understand why she's like, you know,

9
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,159
Speaker 1: I didn't want us to watch it didn't what wasn't it?

10
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: It wasn't. And so then this week, um, I I

00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: so feel your pain right now, my friend, and I

13
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: come on, trist I have some fun with this. No,

14
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: it is so crazy. It's like when you hear your

15
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: voice on a voicemail or any interview. You know, when

16
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: you first started doing stuff in the media. Well, you

17
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: were a singer, so maybe that doesn't affect you, but

18
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: I feel like I hated listen to me. I hated

19
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: watching myself and all the faces I made and what

20
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: I said. And so yeah, I'm so glad that you

21
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: finally understand since last week, I mean it hasn't been

22
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: a long time. Um, but we got to watch Bob's

23
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: season and now we get to pick it apart like

24
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: we did Mind last week. So I gotta tell you this. So, um,

25
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: I've been very insulated, right because, uh, you know when

26
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: my season first heard uh for the premier episode, they

27
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: they had uh like this party thing that we did

28
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: for it, right, and we were all together for that,

29
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 1: and it was a lot of talking, and I don't remember.

30
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: I don't really remember hearing myself that much. And I

31
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: really enjoyed it then way more than this time when

32
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: I had to hear myself. And first of all, I

33
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: don't know if I I mean, do I sound like that?

34
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: And then what I really sound like when I talk?

35
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: And then do I really giggle all the time incessantly

36
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: for no reason like I was watching? And then what

37
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: the hell was going on with my hair? Like it

38
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: literally I had this big game, curly que section that

39
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 1: hung down, and I'm like, then I also have to

40
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,399
Speaker 1: tell you this part. People. You know, when I would

41
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 1: do all the interviews after being on your season, and

42
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: people would always say, oh, yeah, funny, Bob, we love funny.

43
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: But I never heard myself called fat Bob. Until I

44
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 1: watched the show last night, I'm like, what the hell

45
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: is that? Wait? Remind me when did that? Did you

46
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: call yourself fat Bob? I said it all the time.

47
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: I would always go, is that a fat show? But

48
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: you know, but it was so funny because, uh, Chris

49
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: Harrison and one of his intros for me, it was like,

50
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: you know, and you know, the America responded in just

51
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 1: crazy format. At one point, I'm like, they're selling this

52
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: awfully hard and he's like, you know, and uh, I

53
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: mean he was fat Bob and now he's lean and mean,

54
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: loving Bob. I'm like, oh, so I'm gonna have to

55
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: call Harrison about that too. Yeah, let's get him on

56
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: the show next shot him up. But it was uncomfortable

57
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: tell so I know, I know what you mean. I

58
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: was just going, why would I say that? Why did

59
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: I do that? You know? And my memory was so different,

60
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: so different was it? Well? Because you know, I've never

61
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 1: I mean, this might be a terrible thing to admit

62
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: right now, but I've never watched the season myself. Terrible

63
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: thing to this since the season, Like I remember and

64
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: you just said you watched it? Did you watch it

65
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: at a party? So there were a bunch of people around. Yes, well,

66
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: I remember one of my favorite memories and I did

67
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: pop up last night when I was watching the episode.

68
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: Um one of the favorite things that I said, and

69
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: thankfully I was with Andrew Firestone when I said, or

70
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: when we both watched, because I don't even remember saying it,

71
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: but I was like, I was like pouring out some

72
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: wine to my family at the dinner table, and I'm like,

73
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: and this is from the Guinea Stone Vineyards. And I

74
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: remember sitting with the Andree we were in New York

75
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: and he looked at me, goes really bro and I

76
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: love Andrew. So I was like, I don't even remember

77
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: saying that. So that popped up last night and I

78
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: thought that was pretty funny. But other than that, I

79
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: was I know, I feel your pain. I do. It

80
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: is not like it was especially for me obviously, and

81
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: how it ended up. It was one of the best

82
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: times of my life because I met Ryan. But it

83
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: was so cringe e I just I I hated watching

84
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: it back. Uh. So okay, so tell us how did

85
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: you feel like? Obviously we went from my season where

86
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: we were we were good friends, we had a connection,

87
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 1: but obviously I feel like our connection was and still

88
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: is great friends and and so you went from that

89
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: experience and you had the experience of having all the

90
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: cameras in your face and you know all of that too,

91
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: then being the lead and I when you said I

92
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: don't like hurting people's feelings, do you remember I cried

93
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: the first night the first night of my I felt

94
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 1: the exact same way, especially the first NIPE, because I

95
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: was like, I don't even know these guys and I'm

96
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: sending them home, you know, based on maybe one conversation

97
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: if that. So, how do you feel maybe exactly so?

98
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 1: How did you feel going into it? Well? I remember

99
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: you and I talked obviously when they you know, I

100
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 1: think you might remember this, But when they first asked

101
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 1: me to that bachelor, I was kind of like, no,

102
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: I don't think I think I'm okay, you know. And

103
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 1: I really loved being and I used to say it

104
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: all the time. I was like, I was the lovable

105
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 1: loser from trusts Seas and this is kind of fun.

106
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: You know, I can't do anything wrong, you know, But

107
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: then you know, um, then you start thinking about it,

108
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: like what if I would miss this opportunity to meet someone,

109
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 1: the potential could be my soul mate, you know. And

110
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: obviously the show worked out differently for me than it

111
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: did for you. But I definitely met some really amazing women.

112
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 1: And I hate to even use the word amazing and

113
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: any aspect of my life, but yeah, the biggest concern

114
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: for me was to be I just hate hurting people's

115
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: feelings and and I think I kind of numbed myself

116
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: to it a little bit over the years, Like I

117
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: would make fun of it and I'd go, oh, yeah,

118
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: you could have a monkey handing out flowers and the

119
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: girls would cry that. You know, that made me feel

120
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 1: better about myself having to send someone home because but

121
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: in truth, it was like, you know, Um, watching the

122
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: show last night, I even thought to myself, I'm like, God,

123
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: I wish I would have known all the nice things

124
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: that these women said about me before they showed up,

125
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: because I would have maybe, you know, because I didn't

126
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: get to talk to everyone. In fact, we're gonna have

127
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: a guest on the show today. I don't even think

128
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: I got to talk to you that night, And um,

129
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: it's pretty crazy because you know, you don't realize what

130
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: amazing people you might miss out on meeting, even to

131
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: make friends with necessarily, you know, or love or whatever

132
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: will come from it. But I was super bummed, uh,

133
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: you know, to be the bachelor in that situation, because

134
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: I remember thinking, there's nothing anyone's done wrong here, and

135
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna go home thinking that they didn't

136
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: do something right enough, even if it weren't, even if

137
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: they didn't feel anything for me necessarily, just to remain

138
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: on the show or to get to have that experience,

139
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: and and I just felt terrible, And I mean I

140
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: did throughout the higher season, Like every time a rose

141
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: heremony came up, I was less excited, which is probably

142
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: a terrible thing to say, but I was less excited

143
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,679
Speaker 1: about the flowers I was given out, or I shouldn't

144
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: say less, but I was probably equally as excited about

145
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: the flowers I was given out as I was really

146
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: upset and sad about the ones I wasn't giving up. Oh,

147
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: I know that, I totally understand where you're coming from there.

148
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: It is definitely a hard balance, I feel like for

149
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: the leads and especially I feel like, Okay, so my season,

150
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: I think probably the demographic of people who watched the

151
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: show is a way bigger number of women right. So

152
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: the men especially Okay, so on my show, the men

153
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: are going to come on the show and be the

154
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: bachelor's if you will, for the Bachelorette. But a lot

155
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: of them, because it had just started, may not have

156
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: ever seen the show or even heard of it, including Ryan.

157
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: But your season, Holy cow, these women came in like

158
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: infatuated with you. They were like gun in for you.

159
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: I mean, especially one of our guests who's going to

160
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: be on um, coming up really soon. I'm excited to

161
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: talk to her, but um, but wow, I mean that

162
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: I think was different in that they were really excited.

163
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: So the pressure I think was even greater for you

164
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: because they were really expecting to, you know, formulate this

165
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: intense relationship immediate, yeah, immediate boom, you know, and yeah,

166
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: you know, I'll never forget as a as the first

167
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: limo was pulling up, and you know, you're already nervous

168
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 1: enough as it is. But I don't know if you

169
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: saw this when when when we were watching it, but

170
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: they started chanting my name from inside the limo and

171
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: I oh yeah as it turned the corner, and part

172
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 1: of me was like, oh my god, this is awesome.

173
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: And then as the door opened I felt so much pressure.

174
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: I remember going like, oh my god, what if I'm

175
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 1: not good enough for them? Like what if they look

176
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 1: like get out of the car and they're like oh,

177
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: you know, or if I'm talking to him and they're like, oh,

178
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: I expected so much more, you know, or whatever, because

179
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 1: at that point, I've been kind of over I've been

180
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: oversaturated at that point, you know, where I was. I

181
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: had been an Operah a bunch in between your show

182
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: and and and mine, and it was like, you know,

183
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: they saw just like clips of me and snippets, you know,

184
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: and well off Operah loves him, he must be great.

185
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 1: You know. It was kind of like I heard a

186
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: couple of people say that, But I remember thinking to myself, like,

187
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: what if I'm not good enough? You know? And they're like,

188
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: so they have these expectations. What if I can't fulfill them?

189
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: And up until that point, I had zero self doubt

190
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: And then like really, the first door of the limit opens,

191
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, you know, oh I tend

192
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: to do that a lot in my life. Do you

193
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: think um was Chris a big help when it came

194
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: to that self doubt? And yeah, I mean, you know,

195
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: I mean there's a few. There's several moments in the

196
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: show that you know because as you know, you know,

197
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: going through the experience the first time, you do create

198
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: friendships with even though you're not supposed to, you know,

199
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: necessarily create friendships with the producers and with the host

200
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 1: and everything else you do. And you know, Chris is

201
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 1: one of those guys that he was there and he

202
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: was a great sounding board. He had been there already

203
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: at that point. I was, what the the fourth Bachelor,

204
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: but your show had gone to so this is typically

205
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: the fifth season, um, and you know he was he

206
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: had great advice for me. You know, He's like, don't

207
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: get in your own head. Just relax, enjoy yourself, you know.

208
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: And he's like, let yourself be yourself because that's what

209
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: everyone is here for. They like they like you, they

210
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:23,719
Speaker 1: like who you are. You know, he gave me a

211
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: lot of confidence in those moments where I I think

212
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 1: I may not have been feeling as confident as I

213
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: would have liked to have portrayed. Yeah, I'm sure I

214
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: think all of us do it. Every lead. I can't

215
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: imagine that anyone has not had any self doubt going in,

216
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: but that that had got had had to have been

217
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 1: hard because the girls were just coming in hot. You know,

218
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: they were really really jones in for some Bob guinea. Um. Okay,

219
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: so how did you feel about your mom being there?

220
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: I loved the fact that they brought your mom. I

221
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: know you were horrified. Probably you'll you can tell you

222
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 1: can talk to us about that. But I think they

223
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: should do it again. I think they need to do

224
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: that to like change things up, because I thought it

225
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: was great that. You know, the girls then were probably

226
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: on their best behavior. Yeah, you know once she showed up,

227
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: and they wanted to impress her, maybe more than you even.

228
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: So how did you feel when your mom showed up? Well,

229
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: you know, I think I think I had made it

230
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: pretty clear when I was on your season and then

231
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: also in the subsequent interviews there after. Excuse me that,

232
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a very big family person, you know,

233
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: like I love my family and I love you know,

234
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: and and now that I've built my own family, I

235
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: love being closer to my family. I relocated back to

236
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: Michigan to be closer to my mom and dad because

237
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: they're they're getting up there in years and I lost

238
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: my dad last year. So I thank god that I

239
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: did that. Um, but it was one of those things

240
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 1: I have in my mom. Come on, you know, everyone

241
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 1: kind of knew I was a mom's boy, and uh,

242
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: you know, here she comes, and you know, I mean

243
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: Nora was in her element. Let's just say that when

244
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: she came in, She's like, you know, the bell of

245
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: the ball, Hello everyone, you know, and I was like

246
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: watching her work the room, and I'm just like, oh,

247
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: And part of me like was super excited about it

248
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 1: because you know, it gave people an opportunity to get

249
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: a little more of a glimpse into who I really

250
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: am and not just what that scene on TV and

251
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: stuff and um, and so that was really awesome. And

252
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 1: then it was actually kind of comforting too, you know,

253
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: because I like to tease my mom quite a bit,

254
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: and so to have my mom there and be able

255
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: to kind of tease with her and you know, uh,

256
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: you know, just kind of watch her like I could

257
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 1: tell right away that she was gravitating to certain people,

258
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: and you know it was my mom, uh to a degree. Uh,

259
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: it also was like some people, you know, here's here's

260
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: where it kind of worked against me. Was my mom

261
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: would talk to some people that that I never got

262
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: to talk to and so my mom would be like, oh,

263
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: I really like so and so, And I'm like, I

264
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: didn't even get to talk to them than when I

265
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: first met them, and so, you know, and I think,

266
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: like you said, you know, knowing that it was me

267
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: before anyone got there, that they kind of came in

268
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: and it was like we sort of it was almost

269
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 1: like we picked up uh like like everyone that was

270
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: there that night. It was like our third day, do

271
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like I didn't have to

272
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: go through a lot of the pleasant trees of you know,

273
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: explaining who I am and all that kind of it

274
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: was like boom, we were at this this next level.

275
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: And so I really I really did sincerely have I mean,

276
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: I would say probably eighteen of the twenty five women

277
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: that I talked to, I really was like, oh my god,

278
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: I can't send any of them home, Like what am

279
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: I gonna do? I like all of them, and you know,

280
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: and so I was really in that pickle of you know,

281
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: I will say this, I knew right when the twins

282
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: got out of the car, I'm like, I mean they're

283
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 1: keeping them both, are cutting them both them not playing

284
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:43,079
Speaker 1: this game, and I know I was like, this is

285
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: not happening. So that was that was right away, and

286
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: then I never actually really got to talk to them either,

287
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: and then um, you know they were Yeah, there were

288
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 1: quite a few people that I felt like, man, I

289
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: would have liked to have more time with them, you know,

290
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: like um and get to know them better. Like I remember, say,

291
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,839
Speaker 1: the firefighter that was I was going to ask you

292
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: about her. I was never literally going to ask you

293
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: if if you had any regrets about her, because I

294
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: was like, she's so cute and want a great job. Yeah,

295
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 1: I really did, you know. I actually, so this is

296
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: a little behind the scenes for everyone. I actually went

297
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: to the producers and I was like, man, I'm having

298
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: I'm having second thoughts. I said, I go this. I

299
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: sent this girl Sha home, who was a firefighter. I

300
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: never got to talk to her, but I want I

301
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: was trying to get to her all night, and I

302
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: kept going in different directions, and I'm like, what if

303
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: we you know, what if we brought her back, and

304
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: like I said, you know, she'd come back and I

305
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: go and then like that would be like the you know,

306
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: and they were like, that's not how the show works.

307
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: We're not doing that, you know it? And I did

308
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: it years later they'd be like, awesome, idea, we'll have

309
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: her crash a date, you know, like they do that

310
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: now all the time, but back then it wasn't going

311
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: to happen, and um, and I thought that way about her.

312
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: And I actually thought that way about um one of

313
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: our guests who will be on in just a few minutes,

314
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: who I hardly got to talk to you, but I

315
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: remember thinking, like, you know, I feel like if I

316
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: could bring back one or two people, those would be

317
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: the one and Um, you know, but they didn't give

318
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: me that opportunity, so you know, that's a bummer, because

319
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: you're right. They were very rigid. I remember explaining the

320
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: show to people and being like, okay, so you start

321
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: with twenty five guys, and then you go down to fifteen,

322
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: and then it's ten, and then it's you know, and

323
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: it was very like regimented or rigid. And now it's like,

324
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: you have no idea how many roses they're going to give,

325
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: how many people are going to stay until they're like, okay,

326
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: well we have tumor roses left or whatever. Yeah, yeah,

327
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: you're right. They were like yeah, yeah, Like I mean,

328
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: I've heard the comment more than once when Chris was hosting,

329
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: and then I did. I did watch the first episode

330
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: with Jesse was hosting too, and it was it was

331
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: kind of like, well and when and when when the

332
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: girl stepped into a Tasian Caitlin stepped in, It was

333
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: kind of like, what was your show? You know what?

334
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: How many roses do you want tonight? We didn't we

335
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: were doing that, you know, we were, like you said

336
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: very much. Remember when I was when I left on

337
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: your season with Jamie when you when you um, you know,

338
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: when we didn't get the real that night I believe

339
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: you went. Was that from eight tent it was from

340
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: eight to four. The next day was the hometown dates,

341
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: and I remember thinking, you know, wow, I would love

342
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: Triesta to meet my family and it would be amazing.

343
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: But then I got so nervous, you know, because I

344
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: was divorced, and I was like, I don't know, I

345
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: don't know how I feel right now, Like am I

346
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: the right guy for her? You know? So it was

347
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: so awesome when when you're at that point in the

348
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: show now, it's not that awesome when you're in your situation,

349
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: or me watching myself in that situation last night and remembering,

350
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: oh god, just just splashing back to that time on

351
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: the show, how completely stressed out I was. I mean, yeah, yeah, no,

352
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: I am possibly going to that thing and take it lightly.

353
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: If if someone were to go to that thing and

354
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: take it lightly, they are complete idiot because you are

355
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: really playing with people's emotions and feelings, and you know

356
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: it's not going to work if they're taking it lightly.

357
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: But you have to really have your head in the game,

358
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: and I know who you are and know what you're

359
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: looking for, and be serious about it and be in

360
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: the moment. So yeah, if you're taking it lightly, it

361
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: is most definitely not going to work. It will end

362
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,199
Speaker 1: up even though it doesn't end up, you know, I

363
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: just saw there have been these interviews because it's like

364
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: the twentie anniversary coming up. Um. The news media has

365
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 1: been covering it and they've been interviewing, you know, the

366
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: people the successful relationships from the show. And I remember

367
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: reading um recently about the percentage you know, of how

368
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: many people work out compared to how many people are

369
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 1: relationships don't from Bachelor, Bachelor, Bachelor in Paradise, all of them,

370
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: and you know, the percentage is pretty low. But I

371
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: want to turn around and say, but you know what,

372
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: so is the percentage in real life? Like how many

373
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: people do you actually date in your dating life until

374
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 1: you meet the person that you spend the rest of

375
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: your life with? Well? How many time to count? Like

376
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: casual dates, you know, friends setting you up in your bowling.

377
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 1: You know, there's like a million different types of interactions

378
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: you can have a people. And you're right, I mean,

379
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: I get it, you're right. The numbers aren't great. But

380
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: the so there's this saying about I don't want to

381
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 1: offend anyone, but a girlfriend of mine, a friend of

382
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: mine who's a girl, not a girlfriend. A friend of

383
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 1: mine who's a girl, said this saying to me once

384
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 1: about Anchorage, Alaska, and I love the Anchorage Alaska for

385
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: all your Alaskans who might be tuning in today. But

386
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: I remember saying to her one night and she's a

387
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: really pretty girl and she works there Anchorage, and I

388
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 1: was like, God, and she's single, you know, And I

389
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: was like, it just doesn't make sense to me, Like

390
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: you're so pretty and you're so successful. I mean, do

391
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: you not want to be in a relationship, because that

392
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: makes sense if that's the case. But I'm like, everywhere

393
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 1: we go there's like ninety guys to one girl, and

394
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 1: she goes, oh, yeah, that's very right, that's very true.

395
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: The odds the odds are good and the goods are odds.

396
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: And I thought it was so funny. I've never heard

397
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 1: that saying before and so purely struck me as funny.

398
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: But I started thinking about it, like you said, you know,

399
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 1: like the relationships that, yeah, there there are a few

400
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 1: relationships that that seemed to go like work out and

401
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: where they get married and everything. But other than one,

402
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: there haven't been any knock on wood of those relationships

403
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: that haven't stayed together. So you know, those relationships have

404
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: really stood the test of time from the from the

405
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: show too. And I think, you know, I think there's

406
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 1: definitely a formula left for that. Um. I think it's

407
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: a mental formula that the couples that get together at

408
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 1: the end have to have being completely locked step with

409
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: to understand, you know, we got to protect this thing,

410
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: and we don't care. You know, we're not going to

411
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: do this, this and this, We're gonna do this right.

412
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,439
Speaker 1: And you know, that's a big thing. And and I

413
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: think it's something to be very proud of because there

414
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 1: aren't a ton of them that come out and stay

415
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,360
Speaker 1: in the test of time and yourselves, Sean, I mean

416
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 1: Shan and Catherine and and you're right, like expanding the

417
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: shows really kind of help that, Like you know, Jaden Tanner,

418
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 1: you know, I mean there's a lot of those relationships

419
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 1: that came off of different variations of the show too. Yeah, No,

420
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: I agree. I I feel very lucky obviously that I

421
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: Ryan and we have been able to be successful. But

422
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: I think a lot of things go into making a

423
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: relationship successful. And um, you know, we have our off days,

424
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: as does everybody. Um, we have our great days, and

425
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: I think it's just a matter of, um, you know,

426
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 1: all of the things that they talk about in every

427
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 1: single self help marriage book, relationship book, there is just

428
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 1: you know, forgiveness and and friendship and um, trust and

429
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 1: communication and all the all the core things you know,

430
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 1: like they really, Um, it's it's what you do. We've

431
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 1: always said that it's what you do with your relationship

432
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: after the show that matters. Because yes, they introduced us

433
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: and we are very grateful for that, but after the show,

434
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 1: we've put in a lot of hard work and dedication. Yeah,

435
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: it completely is on you. So and and sometimes just

436
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: one person isn't they realize that they're not ready, or

437
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: they realize that they learned something about the other person

438
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: that is not in sync with what they're looking for.

439
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: Whatever happens, I mean, life happens. You go back to

440
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 1: work and the work stress and the friends. Ourselves, let's

441
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: not hut ourselves calling off of a show like this

442
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: where your private jets everywhere. Right, You're taking the private

443
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: jet everywhere you want to go. You're you know, flying

444
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: into a volcano and a helicopter. You're doing all this

445
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 1: great stuff. And then it's like, Okay, well my car

446
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 1: has been in the shop for two weeks. You know, yeah,

447
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: I'm going back to the studio apartment or whatever. You know,

448
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 1: there is a change that comes from that. I didn't

449
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: even though, I mean, you know, like I was watching

450
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 1: the show last night, just kind of playing it back

451
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 1: in my mind, how I was so like floor with

452
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 1: the look of the mansion right when I when I

453
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: walked up to it, and you remember the mansion I'm

454
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: talking about. It's not the cool one that one sees nowadays.

455
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 1: And I remember going, oh my god, this place is awesome.

456
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: And then I remember having to ask if we could

457
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 1: clean the pool so I could swim in it because

458
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: it was like so green with al they were like, yeah,

459
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: I might take it there too, you know. And then

460
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: my room when and something. I used to laugh about

461
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: the room that we had because we had the same room, uh,

462
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 1: you know when we filmed our different shows. And he's like,

463
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: isn't it weird that the closet is like a curtain,

464
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 1: like you're in this, you know, million dollar house. It's like, yeah,

465
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: no doubt. And then like the kitchen, you know, the

466
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:27,239
Speaker 1: sink didn't work. You're like, oh, maybe you sink right

467
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 1: here in the bathroom off the side. I'm like, you know,

468
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: it was just kind of crazy. So I just thought,

469
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's so funny, you know, looking back

470
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 1: on it and you know, remembering that whole thing. So okay.

471
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 1: So I am really interested to get to our first

472
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: guest because she is one that you didn't have a

473
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 1: lot of time with, but yet you have said that

474
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 1: you reconnected with her later in life. I'll I'll let

475
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 1: you tell that story, but let's take your break and

476
00:22:55,920 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: then we'll bring on our first guest. Sounds great, m h.

477
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: Welcome back, everybody. I'm really excited to be able to

478
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 1: talk to Julie Smith, who actually is a pro in

479
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 1: the field. Now she'll probably be interviewing us by the

480
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: time this conversation starts. Um, but Julie, welcome and um

481
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: say hi, say hi to your ex boyfriend. How I

Speaker 1: am great, you look beautiful as always. Thank you, thank you.

483
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: I'm on my I'm gonna break from mom at work

484
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 1: right now, so it's not away. Well, thank you for

485
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: sneaking away. I know you're probably delivering all the pressing

486
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: news and weather and traffic and everything else that you do. Um.

487
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: So I was telling this story about when we were

488
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: talking about bringing on guests from our season and I said,

489
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: you know, I want to bring on someone who I said,

490
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,199
Speaker 1: we have the most unique relationship of most people I

491
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: know from this whole franchise, especially if they were on

492
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,439
Speaker 1: the same season together, which was Um, Julie was on

493
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: my season and she was she was, uh, someone who

494
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 1: I hardly got to talk to the first time. I

495
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: think you talked to my mom actually more than you. Yeah,

496
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: I didn't get to talk to you hardly at all.

497
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: And I don't know if you know this part, but

498
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: I know I've told you this. But there was a

499
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 1: point in um, like, what would have been the next

500
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: I guess theoretically the next episode, but there was a

501
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: point where I went to the producers and I said,

502
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: you know, if I could have a golden robe or

503
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: something like, I loved it and I thought about it.

504
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'd like to bring back Julie and Shay

505
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: because I never got to talk to was the firefighter,

506
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I never got to talk to them

507
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: very much if I found them both attractive, and the

508
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: thirty seconds that I got to speak to each of them,

509
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 1: I was like having a nice conversation. And Julie, uh,

510
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 1: you know, Julie and I obviously she went home the

511
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: first night. We didn't get any more time together. And

512
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: then randomly a few years later, I'm at the Kentucky Derby,

513
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: which has become, uh ah an annual thing, and uh

514
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: the one of the first people I'm sitting there with

515
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 1: is Julie Smith. And Julie's from Louisville, and Julie is

516
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: a you know, she's always done the red carpet stuff there.

517
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 1: She does a ton of interviews there. She's been on

518
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: a couple of the TV shows there before she relocated,

519
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: which I'll let her tell our own story there. But

520
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: she became one of my favorite people in the world.

521
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: And I love, I love our friendship. I love I

522
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: love who you are, and I love how our friendship

523
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 1: has grown over twenty years to be you know, I

524
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 1: mean we we actually might be next to Tristan Ryan,

525
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: the longest relationship to come out of that. I don't

526
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: know that's a good point. I never thought about it

527
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: that way, but you're right out. I didn't either until

528
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 1: I just said that. But remember Julie. Julie came up

529
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: to me one year. We we we knew this story,

530
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: but I don't think the new the newspapers anything new.

531
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: And Julie came up to me one year with Rose

532
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: remember you and well, okay, hold on so well boy,

533
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 1: Well no, I hadn't. I think I know what you're

534
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 1: talking about. Your talking about. It was at a gifting suite, right,

535
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: we got But here's what I before that, even I

536
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: don't know if you remember, but the very first time

537
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: after the whole Bachelor and a few years later at

538
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: the Derby, the first time we even spoke, reconnected and

539
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: really got introduced properly. Um. We were actually at the

540
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 1: track at Churchill Downs and I forget what hubbub was

541
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: going on. But for those who don't know, the Kentucky

542
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: Derby is also called the Run for the Roses. The

543
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: winning horse gets a huge, beautiful rose garland. So if

544
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,360
Speaker 1: you go to Louisville, anywhere you are, there's just a

545
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 1: giant bouquet of red roses everywhere everywhere, So they're all

546
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: over the place. So the first time we met, actually

547
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 1: Bob just yanks one of them out of one of

548
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 1: these decorations and he walks up behind me. He said,

549
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: I think I owed you this time spoke. I loved it,

550
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: and it was and it was true because you know,

551
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I think at the end of the day,

552
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: I think we've proven you and I we've always gotten

553
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: along great. And yeah, it's such a bummer we didn't

554
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 1: get to me. But that's a prime example of you know,

555
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: we're just that. I were talking about some of the

556
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 1: pressures you feel when you're the bachelor person, like when

557
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 1: she has a bachelor me as a bachelor, Um, it's like,

558
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 1: oh my god, what if I missed that person? What

559
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 1: if I didn't get to talk to the person that's

560
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,719
Speaker 1: the right person, you know, And it's crazy because you

561
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: go through that experience and you literally live with so

562
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: much self doubt, especially in the early episodes, because you

563
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: don't know anything right. It's like, well, and it was

564
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 1: season four, so not only was the episode one, but

565
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,679
Speaker 1: the whole thing was still so new, and you know,

566
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: I feel like somebody can go on that show now

567
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: and they have so much content to research. You know.

568
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,959
Speaker 1: The most research I did was to watch the previous

569
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: season to see what to pack to where. Yeah? Really right? No? Yeah,

570
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: So how was your experience on the show? Did you

571
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: tell us about tell us about your experience? Well, Um,

572
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 1: and Bob, we've told told these stories a hundred times,

573
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: but sometimes something new may pop up. But for me,

574
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 1: it was definitely one of those. I literally tripped and

575
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: fell into it. They at the time. I don't know

576
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 1: how long they did this, but you know, they always

577
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 1: had people from across the country sending in at that time, Bob,

578
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: during our season it was VHS tapes. Oh yeah, what

579
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 1: I'm talking But I used to do that, but they

580
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: had all that, but they used to take something called

581
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: the love Bus around the country. Were you all aware

582
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 1: of this? I knew that they went to different places,

583
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: but I didn't know It had a name the Love Bus.

584
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: For real. There was a giant tricked out like van

585
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: and these do you all remember Duran oh fear, I

586
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: think it's how you say he was. Yeah, he was

587
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: one of the casting guys. And long story short, they

588
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: drove this thing around the country and what they told

589
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: me was they wanted to When they came to Louisville, Kentucky,

590
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: they had started to try to get a little more

591
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: into Middle America and the South. They were they had

592
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,959
Speaker 1: exhausted the beach towns and the big cities and they

593
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: wanted quite unquote more real. Um. Not to say that

594
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: others aren't, but that's what they were getting at. But

595
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: anyway I stumbled into it. I wasn't going to this

596
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: giant cattle call. I was out celebrating a birthday with

597
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: a friend and those guys were at the same bar

598
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,479
Speaker 1: having a drink, and so many women had clamored around them.

599
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: When they found out who they were, they said, hey,

600
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: let's let's turn the lights on and turn the cameras

601
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: on now and start doing something that's actually know what

602
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: I do remember you telling me that they did that

603
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: when you were out, and that is crazy. That is

604
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: so funny. I'm convinced that what sort of I guess

605
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 1: grabbed the producers and is because I wasn't there to

606
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: audition or to answer the right questions. I was celebrating birthday,

607
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 1: so I was a good two glasses of wine in

608
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: by the time they set the camera on me. Yeah,

609
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: which I think is what they thought they were going

610
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: to continue to get throughout. And I'm so sad they didn't.

611
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: So you didn't, did Bob's send you home? And I'm sorry, Bob.

612
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: I know this probably breaks your heart, but he sent

613
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: you home the first night, right he did? And he's right.

614
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: We barely got to talk. I remember walking down some

615
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 1: little pathway and before they send somebody in, I was

616
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: gonna someone interrupted us. Yeah, I remember, Am I allowed

617
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: to spill beans? Here? Is that? Okay? Exactly? Put that

618
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:27,719
Speaker 1: thing back up again. But yeah, they definitely are coming up.

619
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: Have you talked to Bob yet? No? Not yet. He's talking.

620
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: Is someone we'll go interrupt that? I said, I don't

621
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: really want to do that. That's not what I would

622
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: normally do. And they nudge and they said, well, okay,

623
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: you know it's on you. You You might you know that

624
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: kind of thing. So someone interrupted us. But I just remember, Um,

625
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I was having a great time the little

626
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: cocktail party. The girls were so great. Kelly Joe's coming

627
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: on after me. I spent of my time laughing at her.

628
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: She just I mean, just listening to her laugh made

629
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: me laugh. So I was happy the best. But Bob

630
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: was just a flash, like I barely saw him. Um,

631
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: and I did I think our episode one you catch

632
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: me something really cheesy? I think I said. Your mom

633
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: asked me how do I like the Midwest? And I

634
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: said something about being a whimp in the cold, but

635
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: I can handle it. Yes, I remember, yes, right An,

636
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: It's what I would have said, right, RELI I did,

637
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 1: like I think you might have gone out the night

638
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: before partying because you your voice was a little h

639
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: I didn't. So you've seen that link that just went out,

640
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: didn't you know? You told that Lindsey put that out there.

641
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: But Trista and I we got a little summary to watch,

642
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: you know, just to remind usel and your voice sounds

643
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: it totally different, messed. I have a good, good, very

644
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: good point. I don't know at that time very likely,

645
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: I mean we had been but they have us on lockdown.

646
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: You know, basically quar so I know it was not

647
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: to say it wouldn't have brought you wine if you

648
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: if you asked, you know for sure. I was really

649
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: hoarse though. Yeah that's when I watched it back, I

650
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: win what was wrong with me? But you know that

651
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: could have been left over from a few days prior

652
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 1: in Louisville, because I had the time and energy to

653
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: be a responsible adult during the week of my full

654
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: time job and had time and energy on the weekend.

655
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: So what does your life look like now you're obviously

656
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: a TV host? Yeah, and that didn't happen for a

657
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 1: few years later. So at the time I'm trying to

658
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: I think they had sales representatives down, which I was. Um,

659
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: I was in pharmaceutical sales at the time that we

660
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: filmed A Bachelor, and um, a few years later, things

661
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: just very slowly. It was like a slow drip. So

662
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: you go back home, of course, and everybody's very excited

663
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: the girl I was on the Bachelor and you're and

664
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: I'm still very um, not weirded out, but it was

665
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: just I was like, if they only knew how normal this.

666
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I was on the Bachelor, but outside

667
00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: of that, you and I are exactly the same. But

668
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: it was came because I enjoyed people so much. So

669
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 1: I loved chatting it up with new people and that,

670
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 1: and that went on for a while, and then so

671
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 1: I was asked to um be a guest on a

672
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: local talk show to promote a charity event. I think

673
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: it was a different one than Bob and I met

674
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 1: at But I went on that show as a guest

675
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,719
Speaker 1: and had a blast. And again I'm in sales at

676
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: the time, but it was one of those things people

677
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: always asked me, have you ever considered news or hosting?

678
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: And I don't know. That wasn't my you know what

679
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: I studied. And this host calls me back a week

680
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,479
Speaker 1: later and says, have you ever thought about two in this?

681
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: And I said, all right, what's going on here? There's

682
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: something I need to look into. And before I knew it,

683
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: I was as co host on a one hour talk show.

684
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: No experience, I mean, no problem talking clearly, the red

685
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:53,479
Speaker 1: carpet interviews and everything else. And then you know, Julie's

686
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: gonna sell this short. But she's she really is a

687
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: go getter, and she put together her stuff and started networking,

688
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: and but it was always pretty organic, and then she

689
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 1: ended up landing a huge job. I mean you had

690
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,359
Speaker 1: to relocate and everything. Yeah, I was. I spent three

691
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: years out in l A and didn't even know until

692
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: halfway through my time there that Bob lived down. I

693
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 1: mean we were friends at this point, I just didn't

749
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 1: And did you tell anyone else how you came up

750
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 1: on my phone? I did not. I was gonna save

751
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 1: that for you tell me this is so funny. You

752
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 1: guys so talk about O G kind of stuff. We

753
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,320
Speaker 1: He messages me and he's like, Kelly, Joe, it's Bob

754
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 1: And I was like what his name came up as

755
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 1: Sarah be Guinea Montest, like full on pseudo name that

756
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,839
Speaker 1: I probably was trying to hide back in the day.

757
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:58,399
Speaker 1: If he texts me late night, no Joe, that is

758
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 1: his hysterical what's mon test for? It's almost very Briton,

759
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,399
Speaker 1: I guess, But I don't know why Montest. I think

760
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: because I used to work at a Monster story back then.

761
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: I have no idea, honestly, no clue. But why would

762
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: I tell Sarah? And then it was Sarah. It didn't

763
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:20,439
Speaker 1: even have an h I was Sarah without an age,

764
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 1: and I'm like, no, I think I would be Sarah

765
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 1: with an ah. But you look like you look like

766
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 1: you have an age. Just a little extra because if

767
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,280
Speaker 1: we communicated it was now through social media and I

768
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 1: didn't even remember having his cell phone. Yeah, probably very

769
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 1: random because we've we've talked a couple of times over

770
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 1: the years. It's always been great, but it's always you're right.

771
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: It's always been through Facebook or Instagram, or whatever. So

772
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: so wait, what I need to know is, since you

773
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: have his phone number in there and you have like

774
00:38:57,040 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: a fake name for him, were you guys talking after

775
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: there's a show, like when you were with a Stella Bob. No,

776
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 1: I mean, okay, I don't think so. I mean I

777
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 1: don't think we chatted. I remember chatting. Well, when the

778
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: number you have for me is a wrong is not

779
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: the number I had? That? Oh that's weird. Well but

780
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 1: but okay, so during our season, how we had to

781
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 1: call each other, Ryan and I. They gave us a

782
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,359
Speaker 1: number to call and then it patched us through. So

783
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,840
Speaker 1: it was a fake number, like they were so scared

784
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 1: that you guys have because we had. Of course we did.

785
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 1: Oh yes, we had code names. Well yours with Sarah. Yeah,

786
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: yours was Sarah. I was Sarah b Montes apparently, yeah,

787
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 1: because that wasn't my phone number back then, so I

788
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 1: didn't have that. That was a number that they that

789
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 1: the producers gave you that it would patch you through

790
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: or whatever to want to connect. I remember talking to

791
00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:00,839
Speaker 1: Bob right after when they had original cast me as

792
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 1: the Bachelorette, and you were like, Kelly, you should do it.

793
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:06,839
Speaker 1: This is it's worth it. And I was like, it's

794
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: worth it. They're not even gonna pay me, and you

795
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 1: were like, all right, we need to have the discussion.

796
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 1: I remember you helping me through like the thought process.

797
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 1: But then I think they did like a demo, a demographic, um,

798
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: and they did a poll and they didn't believe that

799
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 1: a twenty three year old could carry into having a relationship.

800
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 1: So that's when they cast Meredith. Yeah, and you guys

801
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: were friends. It looked like so when you watch we

802
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 1: watched this first episode, Uh, just look bananas, um, even

803
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 1: though mine looks crazy now, mine looked mine matched years, Bob.

804
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:48,720
Speaker 1: I think that's why I kind of turned it together.

805
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 1: It was like the curly Jerry pearl. By the way,

806
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: mine wasn't an Ogilvie homeperm. That's all natch it all,

807
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 1: you know? I mean you who the friends going on

808
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 1: right here? We're all girlfriend for anyone. Um. So when

809
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 1: we when I watched the show, I had actually forgotten

810
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: that Meredith was on your season, Bob. And then and

811
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:21,840
Speaker 1: then it all plicked. But you see you and Meredith

812
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:24,959
Speaker 1: together a lot. Were you guys? Were you guys friends?

813
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,359
Speaker 1: Like after the show, and how did you feel about

814
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:31,319
Speaker 1: her becoming the bachelorette. So I loved Meredith. She was

815
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: my go to um. Early on in the kild they

816
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 1: did this crazy psychology thing where we had to vote

817
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: who was most likely to be with Bob and who

818
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,760
Speaker 1: is most likely not to be, which was actually terrible.

819
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 1: There was tears and I was like what anyway, we

820
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 1: were all getting along and then all of a sudden

821
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: it was just this like gong show and I and

822
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: of course because we all got along, and they're like,

823
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 1: we gotta stir this up. So Meredith was I think,

824
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:00,760
Speaker 1: on everyone's list, and her and I just became close.

825
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 1: She was like a big sister. Her her grandma died

826
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 1: on the show, and her and I would just because

827
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 1: I had lost my dad, so like we had like

828
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 1: a very similar loss, and we just would sit and

829
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 1: have some darts and lots and lots of Margarita's and

830
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,240
Speaker 1: then her and I just became close. And then post

831
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 1: show we were super close to and we've chatted every

832
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 1: once in a while. I think she's gone through some

833
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 1: struggles up at ups and downs, but we still all talk. Yeah,

834
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 1: that's awesome. I always thought that about about the season

835
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 1: of the women that were on my season, trists that, like,

836
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 1: you know, you and I have talked a lot about

837
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 1: how the guys all got along, and I always thought

838
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 1: that same way, Like I was kind of weird about it. Anybody.

839
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:46,240
Speaker 1: I was like, guys, please, don't you know, I don't

840
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: think that, you know, drama back here is going to

841
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,879
Speaker 1: make anything happen over here, you know. But they didn't

842
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 1: need that because they were like that with themselves right away.

843
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 1: They were all very confident, very beautiful women. They all

844
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: got along great, and so I actually found that to

845
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 1: be such an attractive quality and all of you know

846
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: that they were yeah, yeah, right, Ah, we were a

847
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 1: good cast. And still to this day, we're on this

848
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,239
Speaker 1: Facebook thread and we just joke around and we're like,

849
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: we still need a reunion because it would be so

850
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: much fun. I've been I've been just different that for

851
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,840
Speaker 1: a while. I don't know if you guys, I feel

852
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: like they just put so many women against each other

853
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 1: on The Bachelor. Now that it's some men now too,

854
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,359
Speaker 1: and men now too, Yeah, I would actually say the men.

855
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 1: It feels like the men are worse than the women. Frankly,

856
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: like when you watch The Bachelorette. Now, I feel like

857
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: those guys come in for blood, and it's like, yeah,

858
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I do, I do agree with you guys.

859
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 1: It does seem like the women definitely are a lot

860
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 1: more aggressive with each other, but the guys it is crazy.

861
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't we were such good friends on

862
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 1: your show. It was like, and I felt at last

863
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: about so many of the girls on my show too,

864
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:51,880
Speaker 1: So it's like, you know, I liked it better in

865
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:55,800
Speaker 1: that regard. I think that it's naturally gonna create some stuff,

866
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 1: but you know, I just wish it wasn't like like

867
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 1: going after each other and your character and and that

868
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,720
Speaker 1: sort of thing. Like there's always going to be drama

869
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 1: in some way, shape or form when you put that

870
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: many people together and they're you know, vying for the

871
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:16,360
Speaker 1: attention of one person. But I just feel like I

872
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 1: would love for it to not be so yucky to watch,

873
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 1: you know, like just makes me feel yucky, you feel

874
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 1: like exactly, And I can't because it's the train wreck,

875
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 1: you know that you want to watch, and and I

876
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 1: feel kind of maternal towards these people, And I'm like, well,

877
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:39,280
Speaker 1: why are you saying this about your sister? You know, well, Kelly,

Speaker 1: my wife. I had nothing to do with it, you know.

954
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 1: And so it's kind of one of those things, you know,

955
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:53,560
Speaker 1: It's it's really nice, Um, to have these people in

956
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 1: your life that you know, you have this kind of

957
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 1: long history with and you pick up ten fifteen years

958
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:01,719
Speaker 1: later and you know you can just be like, yeah,

959
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:03,360

962
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 1: you know, awkward, it's just nice. And I think, um,

963
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 1: that's got that's got to come from the advice that

964
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 1: Trista gave me actually when when I was going to

965
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:19,720
Speaker 1: be a bachelor, and this was something I took very seriously,

966
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 1: where you were like, you know, just be honest, just

967
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 1: be as forthcoming as you can and just and so

968
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:27,360
Speaker 1: I tried, you know, even when it didn't work out,

969
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:29,399
Speaker 1: you know, so great. I tried to be like, hey, look,

970
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 1: this is it, you know, I hope it's okay, you know.

971
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 1: And obviously it didn't work out for me on the

972
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:37,279
Speaker 1: Bachelor of the way that it worked out for you on,

973
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 1: but still an awesome experience and a lot of fun

974
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 1: and clearly a lot of lifelong friendships that have come

975
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 1: out of it which have been pretty amazing. Yeah, including

976
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 1: you for me, Bob. Again, this was so much fun.

977
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:53,480
Speaker 1: Love it and I hope that all of you out

978
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:58,480
Speaker 1: there are enjoying listening. I know Ashley and Ben cannot

979
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:00,640
Speaker 1: really be replaced, but we hope that we're just a

980
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:03,759
Speaker 1: little you know, extra and a different wrinkle and don't

981
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:06,879
Speaker 1: use the word wrinkle, you know about my face now

984
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:15,359

985
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 1: I want to I I mentioned this the other day, um,

986
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 1: texting with you, but I was thinking about like where

987
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:22,799
Speaker 1: my life was and where your life was when we

988
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:25,239
Speaker 1: were on these shows, which is twenty years ago this year,

989
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:28,759
Speaker 1: I guess, and where they are today, and um, you

990
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:30,879
Speaker 1: know I always teasingly say that, you know, Trista gets

991
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:32,680
Speaker 1: ready for her time on the radio with her glam

992
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:34,920
Speaker 1: squad doing her hair and makeup and getting her all that,

993
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 1: you know, But our lives are so it's so interesting

994
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:39,960
Speaker 1: because I'll still run too people and they you know,

995
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:44,719
Speaker 1: what are you doing at Kroger? I'm like, uh, guys,

996
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:46,719
Speaker 1: you handed out flowers twenty years ago. Still need to

00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:50,280
Speaker 1: eat chicken? You know, it happens. I need some cereal, um,

998
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 1: you know, or whatever it might be. So it's kind

999
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 1: of funny. So I would love for us to kind

1000
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:56,719
Speaker 1: of talk a little bit about that on our next

1001
00:50:56,719 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 1: show too, because I do think it's a lot of fun.

1002
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:01,840
Speaker 1: The the what did I say on the thing? The

1003
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:07,359
Speaker 1: versus g there you go o versus our real life

1004
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:15,479
Speaker 1: versus Instagram, which versus our real life versus real life. Yeah.

1005
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 1: I mean I think that Ashley and Ben actually do

1006
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 1: a really good job of talking about this, Like Ashley

1007
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 1: shows up feeding the baby, you know, like Ben's got

1008
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:27,759
Speaker 1: you know, the dog barking in the background. Whatever. I

1009
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 1: think that they're really good at at showing everyone real life.

1010
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 1: So I I'm all all about talking about reality, the

1011
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 1: reality away from Reality TV. Maybe maybe next episode, maybe
