Yeah? 103 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 1: I feel like I did, only because I kind of 104 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: know you and your personality. Yeah, like the way I 105 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: took it, and correct me if I'm wrong here, But 106 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: like thank you next, like thank you for the lessons learned, 107 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: Like like I'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna move on 108 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: from here like that type of thing like that, that 109 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: seems sentiment, if that makes sense.

But yeah, it's just like 115 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: miss me with that.

So that's why I said, what 129 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: is it that you want to hear from me? Because 130 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: there's still some chapters that need to be done, and 131 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: I need you to pre order it so you can 132 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 1: show that there's interest in the book as well.

I just want to make 186 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: that known lost the connection. Um So, before we get 187 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: into those moments, I mean, like, overall, how do you 188 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: feel knowing that this is episode one hundred. I'm gonna 189 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: be honest, it feels like episode one thousand. I feel 190 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: I you know, and I'm saying that in a positive 191 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: way because I feel like I've been doing this forever. 192 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 1: I feel like this is our weekly thing. It's wild 193 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 1: to me that we've done more episodes remotely than we 194 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: have in person. My gosh, we used to have so 195 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: much fun in the office when there are dogs and 196 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: just like drink and nats and like do three episodes 197 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 1: at a time, bringing another one another one. It's so 198 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: much fun. I just I say that in a positive 199 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: way where it's like I just feel like I've been 200 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: doing this forever and that's that's you know, I have 201 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: to attribute that to you as a co host, just 202 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: like it seems effortless. It's just fun. It's just girlfriend's talking. 203 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: So it's kind of a surreal moment. I don't think 204 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: it's hit me yet. I don't think it'll hit me 205 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 1: until you announced another co host, which I'm not gonna lie. 206 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 1: There's gonna be a little jealousy there. Who is she who? 207 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,959 Speaker 1: It's Yeah, I think that's when it'll settle in or 208 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: or when Katie season starts, because I you know, I say, 209 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: I'm like, probably not gonna watch, but Brian's such a 210 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: fan of the show. I'm gonna I'm gonna end up 211 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: watching it, and then I'm gonna be like, Okay, well, 212 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 1: I guess I gotta take notes. I got I gotta 213 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: talk about this tomorrow, and there is no tomorrow to 214 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: talk about it, you know, So that's that's what it's 215 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 1: gonna hit me. But you know, it doesn't mean that 216 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: we can't have watch parties exactly. We'll still have our 217 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: watch parties. You know. I'm still gonna be blowing up 218 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: your phone every now and again, do something crazy happen. 219 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,199 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be like writing you notes during it.

I hope 235 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 1: it doesn't like trigger any like weird memories of like 236 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: different interviews that you might have done without me. I'm 237 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,199 Speaker 1: not sure, but let's just get into it. So we're 238 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 1: gonna start back at the very beginning one of the 239 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: I think this was one of your first episodes pre 240 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: me from August of twenty nineteen with um the infamous 241 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: Jed Wyatt and Where's the Dock? I got in that ass, 242 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: had to curse for jet I got in that ass early, 243 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 1: and oh my gosh, that's so much fun. Planically play it. 244 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: I would really like to touch on the dock. And 245 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: a lot of people will probably not believe this, but 246 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: if you went to Haley and even asked her, she 247 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 1: would tell you the truth on this, I would hope. 248 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: But the dock is a metaphorical thing for meditation that 249 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: I taught her. That's what it was. It was not 250 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: a physical dock. And to the public eye, it's gonna 251 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 1: look like an actual doc. And when I read that 252 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: note back, I was like, damn it, that looks like 253 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 1: I'm saying, let's meet at this dock. But I practice meditation. 254 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,199 Speaker 1: I'm passionate about it. It was something that I taught 255 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: her to do, to go to this dock in her 256 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: mind and to like sit there and be at peace. 257 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:57,679 Speaker 1: And that's what that was. I had asked him, I said, 258 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: where was the dock, where's the dock jet, where's the duck? 259 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. That was so early episodes. I remember 260 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 1: I had all my questions together. I listened to him 261 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: and that forty seconds or whatever that was, and I'm like, what, 262 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:18,319 Speaker 1: what was Hannah Brown thinking? And what I I completely 263 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: forgot about this and this is I mean I had 264 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: listened to this episode when you did this with Ali. 265 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 1: I'm still like re listening to it. I think my 266 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: eyeballs almost got stuck in the back of my brain 267 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: because I'm just like, what the hell. Yeah, I'm I'm 268 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: glad I wasn't there for that, and I feel like 269 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 1: I didn't go as hard on him as I wanted to. 270 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 1: But it was that was the beginning of the of 271 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: us doing this podcast. I mean we were like a 272 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: couple of weeks in. I was like ready, I had 273 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:51,079 Speaker 1: all like you know, he had pretty much embarrassed Hannah, 274 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 1: and I was like, this is a moment to take 275 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,439 Speaker 1: up for her. And I was ready. I was in 276 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: the Hamptons. This was weeks before, weeks before my wedding, 277 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: and so I was like, come on, Jed, let's go. 278 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,559 Speaker 1: I can't even imagine. Thank goodness, it wasn't in person 279 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: for him, because I can't even imagine. I feel like 280 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: and there. I feel like when I listened to a back, 281 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: there was so much disconnect because like you're just interrogating him, 282 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: like asking him questions, and I felt like Ali was 283 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: kind of just like, you know, I'm looking at him 284 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: and I'm seeing one thing and I don't know. It 285 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: was just people were so mad at Ali mess after 286 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: I just he was messy. But you know, I guess 287 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: the moral of the story is I will never look 288 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: at a doc the same again. I don't know, where's 289 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 1: the doc, Jed, where's the doc? Okay, Well, let's get 290 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: into the next one. This was from a little bit 291 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: after that. This was from September of twenty nineteen that 292 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: you did an exclusive with Mike Johnson, one of the faves. 293 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: But I want to say you did make history because 294 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: to my knowledge and again, I didn't watch the show 295 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: before I was on it. You are the first contestant 296 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: to wear a do rag and im, oh, we have 297 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 1: to talk about that. Hey, King, let's go. I think 298 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: I stood up and clapped when I said, this is 299 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: the really shit I've ever seen on the show. I'm 300 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: always be me, always be a hunted to myself. I 301 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: like Mike. I like Mike. I love Mike. Shout out 302 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: to Mike and Brian. If you don't already subscribe to 303 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: talking it out do it now. They're having some real 304 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: conversations with a different perspective, and you guys are missing 305 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: out if you're not listening to it. I'm serious, it 306 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 1: really is. Yeah, it's good. It's good. They're great. Um. 307 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: I was so eager this was I want to say, 308 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: this was the first time that I had done an 309 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: interview for Bachelor Happy Hour without a co host, and 310 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 1: so it was just me and Mike one on one. 311 00:15:56,040 --> 00:16:00,040 Speaker 1: Mike to me was when I did that interview and 312 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 1: and like I still am a big Mike fan, was 313 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: it was like no questions asked that he should be 314 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 1: the next Bachelor, and I was very disappointed, and I 315 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: had made that known on prior podcast that it was 316 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: not Mike as an next Bachelor, and so I was 317 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: really eager to talk to him, get his perspective, hopefully 318 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: see people see a different side of Mike an in 319 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: depth conversation. I was really I was really proud of 320 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: that interview, and ever since then we've been brother and sister. 321 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: He just I've met Mike twice in person. He just 322 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 1: has such good energy and he's just like present with everyone. 323 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: That's why I think, like more so even like, you know, 324 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: at this point, we obviously knew Peter was going to 325 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: be Bachelor when you would interviewed him, but I think 326 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 1: I was more shocked when they had announced Matt James 327 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: over Mike, and I think, you know, you never know 328 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: what's going to happen in the world of Bachelor Nation. 329 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: I mean, look, they had already come back what like 330 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: five or six years later after he was on the season, 331 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 1: so you know, again we're all about manifestation here. Maybe 332 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,639 Speaker 1: I want him to do it. I don't know if 333 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 1: I just feel like it's after Peter season, everybody was like, oh, 334 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 1: should have been Mike. Yeah, no ship. Then after Matt James, 335 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 1: Everyone's like, should have been Mike, Okay, yeah, listen, listen, 336 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: it should have been whatever. Um, but I think Mike 337 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: has moved on. He's doing other things. He's just released 338 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: that he's active producer of like these shorts. So I 339 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: think for Mike it's it's in his I mean, never 340 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: say never, And this is not him. He did not 341 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 1: tell this to me. This is me speaking and giving 342 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 1: my opinion. I think it's in his rear view mirror, 343 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: and um, you know he's going to do bigger things. Yeah, yeah, definitely, 344 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,640 Speaker 1: for sure, we're going to honor or living that bachelor 345 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: life and Austin please, they're having too much fun and Rachel, 346 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 1: before we get to the next pilot, we do have 347 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: this is this is the very first little surprize that 348 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 1: is to come better.

And then next up one other 379 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 1: man that had a pivotal I would say, a pivotal 380 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 1: role in your life. Rachel is your favorite? X? Nick 381 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 1: Vile roll the clip. I want to know why is 382 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: Nick your favorite? X? Oh? Nick? Nick and I just 383 00:19:58,040 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 1: had that's a great question. Nick and I have this 384 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 1: mu mutual respect for one another. I think from the beginning, 385 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,159 Speaker 1: we hit it off and we knew we would be friends. 386 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 1: We knew we would We knew probably that it wasn't 387 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 1: gonna be forever. We weren't gonna get married, but I 388 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 1: knew that, but we we From the moment I met Nick, 389 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: I knew that we were going to be really cool. 390 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,120 Speaker 1: And we've maintained a level of respect and friendship since 391 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,199 Speaker 1: we've been off the show, which I don't think a 392 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: lot of people like I've been on Nick season. I 393 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 1: don't think a lot of people say that about someone 394 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: they've been on a season with. Yeah, I Nick is 395 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: my favorite. X. That's the truth. I I it's we 396 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 1: we did. We clicked. I came into a season so 397 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: skeptical and after our first conversation I was like, okay, 398 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: like we're we're we're gonna We're definitely gonna be friends 399 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: like we would be friends in real life, and we 400 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,120 Speaker 1: are in real life, you know, like I've seen Nick's 401 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: new house. We have this upcoming double date where I 402 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 1: get to meet his new girlfriend. Um, now that Brian 403 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: is here, we've got this plan. So yeah, Nick and 404 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 1: I I do. I have a lot of respect for Nick. 405 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: I love his hustle, I love what he's doing. I 406 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 1: feel like I understand him in a way that maybe 407 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 1: some girls for my season didn't. So yeah, he's definitely 408 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 1: my favorite. I am a person too that's friends with 409 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: their exes except for this, the relationship before I was 410 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: on the Bachelwood, which I could read about I can't wait. 411 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: But but Nick, Yes, Yes, Nick, I adorn it, and 412 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: I think it just speaks to your character of being 413 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:35,359 Speaker 1: able to still have these mature, respectful relationships. Like you know, 414 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: every relationship with every sort of partner is different, but 415 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 1: the fact that you can still speak so highly of 416 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 1: each other speaks volumes to who you are. And I 417 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 1: think that's really incredible because we've seen, I mean, we've 418 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: seen all sorts of relationships play out after every season 419 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,439 Speaker 1: of Bachelor and Boucherette. But a lot of times people 420 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 1: don't say that close or they feel awkward or like 421 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: they can't have that connection. So I think that's something 422 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 1: super special that you know. I think it's incredible that 423 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: that you guys are able to and um, yeah, speaks 424 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: to your character Stelf doing something with Nick in the future. 425 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 1: I think we could work together. Oh I'm not saying 426 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,679 Speaker 1: that we're working on something. I'm just saying, like I 427 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,879 Speaker 1: could think, are you are you hinting? No, I'm putting 428 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 1: it out there, beccaft it Okay, okay, great, alrighty next 429 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 1: up another man? Thanks? Are all all the guys? Um, 430 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,679 Speaker 1: we have a clip from Peter Webber's Women Tell All 431 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: on the stage. Then we had this conversation that needed 432 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 1: to be had that honestly you spearheaded. Thank you and no, 433 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 1: thank you both of you. Though no, it's not we 434 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: have to give credit were credit is due because you know, 435 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 1: we had the conversation where we talked about race. It 436 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 1: was uncomfortable, but it was necessary. And I don't know 437 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 1: if you guys know this, but you know, Sitny and 438 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 1: I had a conversation because of a lot of hate 439 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 1: that she was receiving. And I am one to brush 440 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,360 Speaker 1: things under the rug. I'm like, Okay, I get a message, delete, 441 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: move on, but that's not what everybody does. And I'm 442 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: acting like it's not an issue and it's a problem. 443 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,679 Speaker 1: And it was you who made me say, you know what, 444 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 1: it is a problem and we need to talk about it. No, Sydney, Yeah, 445 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 1: it was that was that was eye opening for me 446 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 1: because I think prior to that moment, I had been 447 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:31,479 Speaker 1: focused on what I was going through and and like 448 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: I said, I can just like delete it, keep it moving, 449 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,679 Speaker 1: and not really focusing on as a whole what people 450 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,399 Speaker 1: of color in this franchise were going through. I was, 451 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: of course big on diversity and representation, but not how 452 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 1: they were navigating Batchel Nation, not how the audience was 453 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: treating them. I wasn't looking at that end of it. 454 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: And it was Sydney who opened my eyes up to that, 455 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 1: and so I'm forever grateful for it. I'm grateful that 456 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,439 Speaker 1: I had the opportunity on stage to talk about the 457 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 1: bullying and the racism that people of color constantly get 458 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 1: from Vast Nation, and hopefully I hope it made some 459 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:12,919 Speaker 1: kind of impact. I hope that it made the nation 460 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: better and I just I really hope it affected one 461 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 1: person and I'm forever grateful to Sydney for opening my 462 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 1: eyes to that. So yeah, well, I think it was 463 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 1: the first time for much of the viewers to be 464 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: privy to kind of what goes on behind the scenes 465 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,159 Speaker 1: on social media, to a lot of contestants and just 466 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,440 Speaker 1: the nastiness sets out there. You know, I think most 467 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: people who watch the show, they don't think twice about it. 468 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,400 Speaker 1: They think, Okay, we're watching this love show and oh yeah, 469 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 1: like we have our opinions and we might DM somebody 470 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: here and there. They don't realize how invested a lot 471 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,919 Speaker 1: of people are whether it's good and bad. And so 472 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 1: I think you were the first person to really highlight 473 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 1: that and bring it to the forefront and make it 474 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: a conversation, which I applaud. And because of that, we 475 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: have two more surprises to in right now, just to 476 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:08,679 Speaker 1: get testament too. We hadn't count these surprises one hundred episodes. Wow, Rachel, 477 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: you did that. You did that also, Becca, congrats to 478 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: you two because you will keep it going, keep the 479 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: torch going. I'm so excited for you and all the 480 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 1: things that you have coming up. Congratulations for making it, 481 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 1: for giving us truth, for giving us a life, for 482 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,880 Speaker 1: telling it like it is so much.

And I mean, yeah, I feel like they 517 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,920 Speaker 1: listen to Bachelor Happy Hour and take so many notes 518 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: and takeaways from you each and every week, and you 519 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,639 Speaker 1: just have been an incredible mentor to so many people. 520 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 1: So yeah, it's been fun to listen to them and 521 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: kind of see how you helped pave the way. So 522 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,359 Speaker 1: that was a good one. Good one. We're three for 523 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,399 Speaker 1: three here three for three. All right, Well, this next 524 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: one was a very fun episode that we did. It 525 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 1: wasn't a recap per se for an actual actual bachelor 526 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,919 Speaker 1: or Bachelor at episode, but it was one with none 527 00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 1: other than the Rita Wilson herself. So take a listen. 528 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 1: I started songwriting about us seven years ago. And when 529 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:12,360 Speaker 1: I did, it was because another songwriter, Kara Diagardy, said 530 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,919 Speaker 1: to me, you shouldn't write songs and I was like, well, 531 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 1: I don't read music or play an instrument. She said, 532 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 1: it's okay, do you have something you want to say? 533 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,120 Speaker 1: And when she said that, it was like, yes, this 534 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 1: is about telling stories. And that's one of the reason 535 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,160 Speaker 1: why I love country music so much, is because there's 536 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: so much great storytelling in there. Such a fun episode. 537 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 1: Who would have known we would have the opportunity to 538 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 1: talk to Rita Wilson, I know, I mean, she does 539 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 1: it all. I feel like I learned so much more 540 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 1: from her. We sang with her at that moment. That's 541 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 1: when it came out that she knew the words to 542 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 1: hip hop ray. I think that wasn't it was any 543 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: nature song. For sure. She's so cool, She's so chill. 544 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 1: I mean I'm telling you, if I didn't have Brian 545 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 1: in my life, I'd be trying to get a chet 546 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 1: Hanks because we know that he loves the system. We 547 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 1: know Chant loves the brown skin with him. I'm trying 548 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: to be in the family, Rachel. You know what I 549 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 1: remember from that episode is well, there's a lot that 550 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 1: I remember. But before we got on, I think you 551 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 1: texted me and the producers and you were like, Copper 552 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 1: has diarrhea right now. I don't think I can make it. 553 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 1: And we were all like, uh, you cannot miss Rita Wilson. 554 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 1: You have to be in this episode And I'm so 555 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: glad that you were because it was such a fun one. 556 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: And like you said, like never in a million years 557 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 1: as we think we'd be sitting down I mean virtually 558 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 1: sitting down with Rita Wilson. I mean, damn. And I'm 559 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 1: glad Copper pulled got a ship together before he came on. 560 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: I think we took him to the hospital. Act I 561 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: can't there was it was like the summer of diarrhea 562 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: for Copper and he I don't know what we were 563 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 1: feeding him. He kept getting sick. No, I don't know 564 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 1: what it was, but he hasn't had about since next summer, 565 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 1: so you know he's doing fine. Guys, copper always got 566 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 1: something wrong. It was the beginning of quarantine. Everyone was anxious. 567 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 1: I understand it. Copper Man had been well, we couldn't 568 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 1: include the top ten highlights without including some of our favorites. 569 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 1: And if you guys never listened to this episode, please 570 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 1: go back because it was from May and June of 571 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 1: twenty twenties. So in the midst of Quarantine, we had 572 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 1: some of our favorite people. Somebody who two people who 573 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 1: I think are very integral to the Bachelor Nation family 574 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: and the leads, and that was with Gina and Carrie, 575 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 1: who they're the makeup artists and the stylist for the show. 576 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 1: So take a listen. And it had stones, jeweled stones, 577 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 1: three of them, all the way up to the top 578 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 1: of the split. And I loved it. And my makeup 579 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 1: was perfect because it was dark and it was like 580 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: intense and it just matched the boldness of the dress. 581 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 1: It was beautiful. I loved it. It's one of my 582 00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 1: favorite looks from that season. Hair, makeup dress. It was stunning. 583 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 1: That one really was. That wasn't pretty randy. Sometimes playing 584 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 1: dresses do work I know everybody thinks that there's no 585 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 1: reason behind why everybody wear sequens and things like that, 586 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 1: that they all think that I do this to you. Guys. 587 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 1: I've warned all of you, I'll never push you into 588 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 1: a gown before I dive into our Dear Gina and 589 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 1: care Bear. I'm gonna pick up on that what he 590 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 1: just said about Carrie not forcing us into anything. I've 591 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 1: seen some rumblings around mine, dear care Bear, about the 592 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 1: way that he dresses us. And I've said it before 593 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna say it again. The lead chooses what 594 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 1: they wear. So if you love it, guess Carrie gives 595 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 1: you a room full of clothes and you pick what 596 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 1: you want to wear on the season. The input that 597 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 1: is given is, oh, it's warm, it's it's hot, you're 598 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 1: you know, you're getting wet whatever. That's the only input given. 599 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 1: The style is up to the lead. So if there's 600 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 1: a particular item that you didn't like, don't go throwing 601 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 1: care Bear's name under the bus. Blame it on the lead. 602 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 1: But what I do love is that Carrie and Gina 603 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 1: allow us to be ourselves, and so we do have 604 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 1: the freedom. They provide the goods but we have the 605 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 1: freedom to choose the look that we want. And if 606 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 1: you trust Carrie and China with the experts that they are, 607 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 1: then it all comes together. And that's what I love 608 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 1: about that clip, because that's a clip of me explaining 609 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:42,120 Speaker 1: how the dress and the makeup, it's just the whole look. 610 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 1: Everybody worked together to make one of my absolute favorite looks. 611 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 1: And that's the beauty the tag the tag team, the 612 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 1: dynamic duo, comedic duo. At some point some points of 613 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 1: Carrie and China, they're the gift that keeps giving. They 614 00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:00,959 Speaker 1: truly are, and they're just like they become family, And 615 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 1: what I think is also really incredible, not like forming 616 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,960 Speaker 1: friendships with people that are on the show and with 617 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 1: other contestants that you see, but with people like Carrie 618 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 1: and Gina and like Rachel. You probably out of any lead, 619 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 1: I would say, And I know I'm going to piss 620 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,280 Speaker 1: some of the bad shorts off because I know that 621 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 1: they probably think that they're the top, But I will say, 622 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 1: I think you are Carrie's favorite, and I think he 623 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 1: always will be. Carrie loves everybody and I always does, 624 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 1: and I'm like, you love the way you always invite 625 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 1: people to hang out. Is how Carrie is with his 626 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 1: love for each league you know, so, yes, yes we do. 627 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 1: We definitely have a close relationship. But he does love 628 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 1: all his betties. He does. And I'm just gonna say 629 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 1: this right now because you know I'm gonna make it happen, 630 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 1: but we are going to be having to seep over 631 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,560 Speaker 1: at Carries one day, very soon. We have to now 632 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 1: still I live in the neighborhood. Yeah, you're close to Carries. 633 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 1: It's called an obsession, ladies and gentleman can't stay too 634 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 1: far from him. And with that, we got one more 635 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 1: surprise for you, babe.

I as much 648 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 1: credit as people want to give me to stuff or 649 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,239 Speaker 1: about stuff or comp on me for what I'm doing, 650 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,719 Speaker 1: I couldn't do any of it without the support of 651 00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:03,160 Speaker 1: Brian nothing. I love my Brian to pieces and very 652 00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 1: very thankful for him. I was half expecting when I 653 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 1: was introducing that surprise for it to be Carrie, and 654 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,400 Speaker 1: then when he goes babe, like people, you and I 655 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,720 Speaker 1: know who the surprises are. Either, Oh, that's so funny 656 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,920 Speaker 1: because I don't know what we're surprises for me too. 657 00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 1: I didn't think it'd be Carrier Gina because one thing 658 00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:20,319 Speaker 1: we didn't say is that was we said it on 659 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,000 Speaker 1: the actual podcast, but that's the first time they've ever 660 00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,800 Speaker 1: done a podcast. They both hate to be on camera, 661 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,160 Speaker 1: so I was like, wow, if they really got them Wow, 662 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,880 Speaker 1: yeah no, But then they ended up loving it. Carrie 663 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,840 Speaker 1: texted me after He's like, I would do that again. 664 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 1: We could maybe do it at my house. I was like, hell, yeah, no. 665 00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:44,279 Speaker 1: Brian is so sweet and honestly, like, I look up 666 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:45,880 Speaker 1: to the both of you so much and like the 667 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,279 Speaker 1: type of relationship you have that just supports each other 668 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 1: and it has such a strong foundation. That's what ideally, 669 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:54,800 Speaker 1: ultimately I would like to end up with. And so 670 00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,720 Speaker 1: you know, every time people ask me if the show works, 671 00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:59,839 Speaker 1: I'm like, look at Rachel and Brian, That's why people 672 00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 1: do the show. It's because of you two. Well, thank 673 00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 1: you and Becca manifesting Well, I just got really hot 674 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:14,160 Speaker 1: and Sunty it's coming all right. Next up. I don't 675 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 1: even know what number we're at right now, but we're 676 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:19,160 Speaker 1: just gonna keep banging out. These top highlights. We have 677 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:23,120 Speaker 1: Claire's first interview on Bachelor Happy Hour, which was in 678 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,280 Speaker 1: June of twenty twenty, when she was still in quarantine 679 00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:30,080 Speaker 1: before she even went on to start her season. So, 680 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,640 Speaker 1: for you, are you happy that you got this extra 681 00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,960 Speaker 1: time to kind of self reflect on when you started 682 00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,399 Speaker 1: with this whole franchise, you know, having those meetings, going 683 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,160 Speaker 1: through Paradise, going through Winter Games, and then to where 684 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 1: you are now. Are you happy you've had this time 685 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,400 Speaker 1: to reflect on just who you are as a person, 686 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,640 Speaker 1: but then also what you want to be as a bachelorette. Yeah, 687 00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:52,799 Speaker 1: I would say instantly if you asked me that. Right 688 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:54,600 Speaker 1: when we went into quarantine and finding out that it 689 00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:56,839 Speaker 1: would be a few months, I would be like, no, 690 00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:01,520 Speaker 1: I'm ready for this, But it has Everything happens for 691 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,120 Speaker 1: a reason, right, Rachel, Like it has given me the 692 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,440 Speaker 1: time to sit and go what is my message? Like, 693 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,000 Speaker 1: what is it that I want to share with women 694 00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:17,040 Speaker 1: my age. Despite all the things that you're reading in 695 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:23,040 Speaker 1: the tabloids are on social with Claire and Dale, it 696 00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:26,719 Speaker 1: doesn't take away from how powerful that interview was. Remember that, 697 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,239 Speaker 1: it doesn't take away from the person who Claire is. Like, 698 00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,640 Speaker 1: everybody's got their own shit right, and everybody has And 699 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,399 Speaker 1: I someone told me a long time ago, nobody knows 700 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,879 Speaker 1: your relationship like you do the two people who are 701 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,680 Speaker 1: in it. And I can't even imagine how hard it 702 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,719 Speaker 1: is to publicly go through all the things that they've 703 00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,840 Speaker 1: gone through and people giving their opinion self included me, 704 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:53,080 Speaker 1: give me mine. But Claire was so powerful in that interview, 705 00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 1: Like it became emotional just to see what she's been through, 706 00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:01,080 Speaker 1: where she's what she's gone well, what she's gone through, 707 00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:04,439 Speaker 1: where she's going and just and how she's survived it all. 708 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,160 Speaker 1: And she's come out bigger and better than ever. And 709 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,319 Speaker 1: I'm proud of that interview that we had with her. 710 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:16,000 Speaker 1: It was such like a uplifting, inspiring, empowering girl moment. 711 00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:20,000 Speaker 1: And I would encourage anybody if you haven't listened that, 712 00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,279 Speaker 1: if you're a New Bachelor Happy Hour listener, maybe you 713 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,480 Speaker 1: skip that episode, go back and listen to it. If 714 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,040 Speaker 1: you need just to be to lift your spirits, if 715 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:30,399 Speaker 1: you need some type of encouragement, that's the episode for you. 716 00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:34,239 Speaker 1: Claire was really doing some preaching in that episode. YEA 717 00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,920 Speaker 1: loved it, Yeah, And I think such a good takeaway 718 00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:40,520 Speaker 1: was you know, sometimes especially women in our society, it's 719 00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,080 Speaker 1: so caught up on age and like we have this 720 00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,680 Speaker 1: timeframe of when we need to be in a relationship, 721 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:47,480 Speaker 1: when we need to get married, when we have to 722 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,879 Speaker 1: start having kids. And for Claire, I mean like, yes, 723 00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 1: she was at that point like one of the oldest 724 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,400 Speaker 1: leads that the franchise has ever seen. But like that 725 00:38:56,440 --> 00:39:00,319 Speaker 1: shouldn't define who somebody is, like whether they're worthy or not. 726 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,719 Speaker 1: To find love and to find what they feel like 727 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:04,359 Speaker 1: is going to fill their lives. And I think that 728 00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,440 Speaker 1: was such a special message for men and women alike. 729 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,160 Speaker 1: But it was just this, as you said, like very inspirational, 730 00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:14,080 Speaker 1: uplifting momentum. One of my favorites that we did. I 731 00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,719 Speaker 1: want to call it like the quarantine closet summer when 732 00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:18,879 Speaker 1: we were stuck in our closets for corny, I think, 733 00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:24,319 Speaker 1: with all of our clothes. Yes. Oh, we've got from 734 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:28,120 Speaker 1: from the studio to the closet to now our own apartments. 735 00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:35,160 Speaker 1: We've been places. Um. Okay, so this next one, you guys, Rachel, 736 00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:39,520 Speaker 1: you requested this one last week and I said, by golly, 737 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,560 Speaker 1: if this one is not included, I can't do this episode. 738 00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:47,160 Speaker 1: But over the summer last summer, we had a phenomenal 739 00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,880 Speaker 1: woman who I think we were graced with vatro nation 740 00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:54,640 Speaker 1: was graced with, and that was none other than Grandma Honey. 741 00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:59,040 Speaker 1: So let's hear her right now. Okay, Grandma Honey, can 742 00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:05,160 Speaker 1: you say hello? Mom? Say hello, hey, Grandma Honey? How 743 00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:09,600 Speaker 1: are you? Tyler? Can you speak just a little bit louder? 744 00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:17,480 Speaker 1: Can you say hello again? Hey Grandma Honey? And Tyler, 745 00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:21,960 Speaker 1: how are you doing? Hi? Tyler? I really enjoyed watching you. 746 00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:25,640 Speaker 1: I'm the Bachelor and I have named you the sexiest 747 00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:29,279 Speaker 1: guy there. You can't you probably can't hear can you 748 00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:33,200 Speaker 1: hear her? I? Have I have headphones on, but she 749 00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:34,920 Speaker 1: can hear you. She said that she named you the 750 00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,200 Speaker 1: sexiest guy in Bachelor Nation. She just wanted you to 751 00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:45,400 Speaker 1: know that. Oh, I mean that family, three generations, Bachelor fans, 752 00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:47,799 Speaker 1: they all connect over the show. Those are the kind 753 00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,520 Speaker 1: of stories that you love to hear. It's it's so 754 00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:53,200 Speaker 1: I mean, Becca, you got to experience this doing Batchel 755 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,560 Speaker 1: Alive on stage, but we don't get to connect with 756 00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:57,560 Speaker 1: our fans and hear from them in that way. So 757 00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:01,280 Speaker 1: to see to see a family connects over this show, 758 00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,680 Speaker 1: it brings something. It's I don't know, it hits. It 759 00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:06,600 Speaker 1: hits in a different way. It doesn't make it feel 760 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:08,520 Speaker 1: like this silly show. It makes it feel like this 761 00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:13,200 Speaker 1: is something that um bonds people. And and that was 762 00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,920 Speaker 1: That's probably one of my top three episodes. And we 763 00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:20,400 Speaker 1: got banana bread out of it. And from time to 764 00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,880 Speaker 1: time they still email. I know when like I was 765 00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,399 Speaker 1: going through some stuff this year, the family reached out 766 00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:28,120 Speaker 1: to me through email. They're just they are salts of 767 00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:36,520 Speaker 1: the earth people. Grandma Honey is a gem. A gem. Yeah. Yeah. 768 00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:38,560 Speaker 1: That was one of the most fun episodes and just 769 00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:43,280 Speaker 1: like very touching and just the fact that these three women, 770 00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:46,239 Speaker 1: these three generations can bond over something in the midst 771 00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:48,560 Speaker 1: of quarantine. And I know how tough it was for 772 00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,120 Speaker 1: them to not feel like they could always be together 773 00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:53,080 Speaker 1: and be present, but that the show bonded them with 774 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,080 Speaker 1: something really special. And yeah, as you said, I mean, 775 00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:58,520 Speaker 1: we got some great home cooked food out of it, 776 00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:01,239 Speaker 1: and they're just like to stay. They'll still email and 777 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:04,240 Speaker 1: if they know things are you know, kind of dicey 778 00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:07,400 Speaker 1: in whatever moment, just the sweetest like that Kellman family. 779 00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:12,400 Speaker 1: I mean, Lord, then we know, and there's probably Becca. 780 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,080 Speaker 1: There's probably so many other Grandma Honeys out there that 781 00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:16,840 Speaker 1: we're never going to get to talk to. But we 782 00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:18,759 Speaker 1: just want to give you all the shout out and 783 00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:22,160 Speaker 1: to the other families that watched together, mothers and daughters 784 00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:27,359 Speaker 1: and grandmothers and best friends and co workers and classmates 785 00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:29,160 Speaker 1: or whatever it may be, all the people that come 786 00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:32,919 Speaker 1: together to watch this crazy show that we're a part of. 787 00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,600 Speaker 1: Like that episode was, I feel like it was an 788 00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:40,160 Speaker 1: ode to all of you. Yes, And speaking of odes, Rachel, 789 00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:46,400 Speaker 1: you gave one to one lofty man from Clarentatious season, 790 00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:51,279 Speaker 1: and that was none other than to Bennett. You know, 791 00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:54,600 Speaker 1: he rose and then he fell real quick, and you 792 00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:58,719 Speaker 1: addressed that on this episode, So take a listen. The 793 00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:03,480 Speaker 1: time is Combecca. I've alluded to clinics. I don't have Kleinex. Sadly, 794 00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:05,360 Speaker 1: I guess I'll just have to use my own shirt. 795 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:08,600 Speaker 1: But the time has come a day I thought I 796 00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:10,880 Speaker 1: would never see, and I would just like to prepare 797 00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:13,680 Speaker 1: for the moment.

I'm gonna put on sunglasses because I'm not 799 00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:19,279 Speaker 1: just I'm not quite sure how where my emotions are 800 00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:23,080 Speaker 1: going to take me. But those of you watching, I'm 801 00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:27,279 Speaker 1: setting up a cross an athletic candle because we have 802 00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:31,520 Speaker 1: some sad news to report today in Batna, in Battlination. 803 00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:37,399 Speaker 1: Last night, we lost someone great.

I was 813 00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,799 Speaker 1: gonna say, Georgia, New York to meet the Bennett if 814 00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:15,600 Speaker 1: I land in New York, I'm not calling Natasha, I'm 815 00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:22,000 Speaker 1: not calling Tasia. I'm calling Bennetts. No, You're calling Bennett's 816 00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:24,560 Speaker 1: private driver to pick you up. Probably, yeah, yeah, I 817 00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:28,000 Speaker 1: expect that to definitely like bring out all the stops 818 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:31,319 Speaker 1: for me because I was a big supporter. Um yeah, No. 819 00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:34,160 Speaker 1: I really enjoyed watching Bennett. I know people had to 820 00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:37,480 Speaker 1: love hate relationship with him, but he was a character 821 00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:40,239 Speaker 1: and it was fun to watch, and especially you know 822 00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:43,480 Speaker 1: the season during COVID there wasn't much that they could do, 823 00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:47,400 Speaker 1: and they definitely tried their best at the Laquinta. But Bennett, 824 00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,480 Speaker 1: that's that is one hell of a job in casting, 825 00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:53,359 Speaker 1: and I commend you for it. I might get onto 826 00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:56,040 Speaker 1: you for the lack of diversity, but you got one 827 00:44:56,120 --> 00:45:02,719 Speaker 1: a couple of points, Bennette. I will say that was 828 00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:06,359 Speaker 1: like one of my favorite moments of you when you 829 00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:08,719 Speaker 1: showed up that day and you were in mourning and 830 00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:13,240 Speaker 1: you wore your black and you had your black beret, 831 00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:14,840 Speaker 1: and I was gonna say but day and that's that 832 00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:19,319 Speaker 1: goes in a toilet. But you and your sunglasses, you 833 00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:22,120 Speaker 1: were in mourning. And you know, much like Bennett played 834 00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:25,640 Speaker 1: a character on TV, you played a character when you 835 00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:27,680 Speaker 1: gave that eulogy. And so for all of our listeners, 836 00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:29,439 Speaker 1: if you can go back and listen to that whole clip, 837 00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:33,239 Speaker 1: like Rachel, if and when I die, you have free 838 00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:36,160 Speaker 1: reign to give a eulogy at my funeral.

One of my personal 882 00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:59,279 Speaker 1: favorite episodes, one of the most recent ones we've done, 883 00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:01,000 Speaker 1: and I'm not even say it's my favorite because it 884 00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:04,680 Speaker 1: was racing, but it was just so dang fun because 885 00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:07,440 Speaker 1: it was literally like what we would do if we 886 00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:10,680 Speaker 1: were in her pajamas, sitting on my couch drinking wine. 887 00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:13,880 Speaker 1: And that was when we brought back all of the 888 00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:17,439 Speaker 1: nineties nostalgia. So take a listen to the most fun 889 00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:23,080 Speaker 1: episode I think we've ever done. I love to listen 890 00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:27,719 Speaker 1: to the nineties playlist, Nineties music. That's what I was 891 00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,719 Speaker 1: just looking up on my phone. Nineties music. It's like 892 00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,560 Speaker 1: these one hit wonder songs. Do you remember the song? 893 00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:41,040 Speaker 1: The way? Sing it for me? Even even though the 894 00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:45,400 Speaker 1: road that they walk on is paved. And I think 895 00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:47,120 Speaker 1: I'm making up the worst as I'm saying it, But 896 00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,000 Speaker 1: you don't know, I know, you know what I'm talking 897 00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:52,719 Speaker 1: about one hit wonder. I'm looking at this list right now. Um, 898 00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:56,440 Speaker 1: these aren't one hit wonders. But like remember mister Jones, 899 00:48:56,600 --> 00:49:03,200 Speaker 1: Oh Wonder Wall, Oh Fine, loveful Love, bead Love, be 900 00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:07,799 Speaker 1: say they're all that in love me. Here we go. 901 00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:10,480 Speaker 1: We're just gonna take off and keep singing. At this time, 902 00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:14,440 Speaker 1: I know, Brian and I went on a road trip 903 00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:19,160 Speaker 1: to Santa Santa Barbara. I almost in Santa Monica, Santa Barbara, 904 00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:21,600 Speaker 1: and I was like, okay, what are we listening to? 905 00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:25,480 Speaker 1: And immediately our go to was nineties. We put on 906 00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:28,799 Speaker 1: the nineties playlist and jammed out all the way to 907 00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:32,200 Speaker 1: Santa Barbara. There's it's just such a time. You know, 908 00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:34,520 Speaker 1: I was born in the eighties and so you say 909 00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:37,640 Speaker 1: you're an eighties baby, but the nineties raised me so 910 00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:40,160 Speaker 1: like that just brings back such a beautiful time and 911 00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:43,120 Speaker 1: I'm so glad we had that moment. And honestly, the 912 00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:48,239 Speaker 1: listeners loved that episode. We got so much feedback on 913 00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:50,200 Speaker 1: how we took them back and how it was fun 914 00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:54,160 Speaker 1: for them to listen along and just remember a simpler 915 00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:59,480 Speaker 1: time as well. Man, Yeah, and that was just such 916 00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:01,640 Speaker 1: a fun episode because, like I said, it was just 917 00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:04,960 Speaker 1: like normal things that people would probably talk about it. 918 00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:07,160 Speaker 1: They were just hanging out in the comforts of their 919 00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:10,399 Speaker 1: own home. And at that time when we recorded, there 920 00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:12,759 Speaker 1: was so much heaviness going on, and there was a 921 00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:15,600 Speaker 1: lot that was transpiring within the world of Bachelor Nation, 922 00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:17,759 Speaker 1: and so for us to just take a beat out 923 00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:21,080 Speaker 1: of that and be transported back to a different decade, 924 00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:24,359 Speaker 1: and just to say, I'm honestly surprised that they let 925 00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:29,040 Speaker 1: us sing for so long on that episode. But I mean, 926 00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:32,640 Speaker 1: best takeaway we could have ever gone from that is that, like, 927 00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:34,160 Speaker 1: I can't wait for the world to open up and 928 00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:38,439 Speaker 1: take you out to karaoke with me. I know, so 929 00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:41,640 Speaker 1: much fun, so much fun. I can't wait. I can't wait. 930 00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:47,000 Speaker 1: Come on, June fifteen, can't come soon enough. I might 931 00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:50,359 Speaker 1: honestly reserve a table at whatever the nearest karaoke bar 932 00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:54,560 Speaker 1: is for us come the fifteen. But Rachel, like, I 933 00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:56,799 Speaker 1: can't believe, I mean, there's so much that we could 934 00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:59,080 Speaker 1: have included in this episode, and obviously we have to 935 00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:01,200 Speaker 1: try to keep it too or for our listeners to 936 00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:05,200 Speaker 1: not totally tune out. But um, like I just want 937 00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:08,280 Speaker 1: to say first and foremost, through all of these episodes 938 00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:10,239 Speaker 1: in the past year and a half, basically that I've 939 00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:13,479 Speaker 1: been doing this with you, it's never really once felt 940 00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:17,640 Speaker 1: like work. It's always felt like like for me, you know, 941 00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:20,080 Speaker 1: I've been going through a lot, especially within the last year, 942 00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:22,000 Speaker 1: and for me it was such a good escape to 943 00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:24,800 Speaker 1: just talk with you and be with you and laugh 944 00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:27,880 Speaker 1: and get your advice and just to have such a 945 00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:31,160 Speaker 1: solid sounding board. Like it was never work. It was 946 00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:34,279 Speaker 1: always so much fun. And I truly don't know I 947 00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:36,000 Speaker 1: think made it was kind of upset because she knows 948 00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:38,279 Speaker 1: this is your last I guess can you're a barking 949 00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:42,600 Speaker 1: in the back, But I just feel so honored and 950 00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:47,000 Speaker 1: grateful and like I hate to say blessed, but I 951 00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:50,120 Speaker 1: do feel like that not only to have had this opportunity, 952 00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:52,480 Speaker 1: but to do it alongside you, Like I truly could 953 00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:57,320 Speaker 1: not have imagined anyone better to walk this this podcast 954 00:51:57,360 --> 00:51:59,040 Speaker 1: world with. And as you know, you know, I was 955 00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:01,440 Speaker 1: very hesitant to start, and I didn't quite know if 956 00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:03,239 Speaker 1: I wanted to, but you were the reason you were 957 00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:06,000 Speaker 1: the factor of what sold me and like why I 958 00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:09,200 Speaker 1: gave the yes behind it to sign that contract.
