Speaker 1: Hey, everyone, welcome back to Bachler Happy Hour. I'm Joe
Speaker 1: and I'm Serena, and today we are going to be
Speaker 1: recapping the first season ever of The Bachelorette, trist this
Speaker 1: season which was only like six episodes.
Speaker 2: Six episodes one hour each, so yeah, just six hours
Speaker 2: of reality TV.
Speaker 1: And correct me and I stand correct, We're only recapped.
Speaker 1: We're recapping the first episode. I don't know if I
Speaker 1: said the whole season.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're recapping the first episode one of the first
Speaker 2: season ever of The bachel ratt which was Tristaetter.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I will say, like, first thing, first thing I
Speaker 1: noticed is how young Chris Harrison was.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I know, he literally looks like he
Speaker 2: could be a contestant on the show.
Speaker 1: He looks younger than the entire cast.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he does.
Speaker 1: I was like, when he's talking to trist I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: this actually makes sense.
Speaker 2: I wonder how old he was. We should have checked
Speaker 2: at the time when he was hosting that season.
Speaker 1: I want to say, it looks like.
Speaker 2: He's like, he looks like he's in his late twenties,
Speaker 2: early thirties.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to say I think I think, and
Speaker 1: I could be wrong. I feel like I may have
Speaker 1: looked this up in the past. I think he was
Speaker 1: like twenty nine when he hosted the first season ever.
Speaker 2: Okay, so he's he's probably in his mid to late thirties.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well he could definitely, I mean, he was definitely
Speaker 1: the right age to have been on the cast.
Speaker 2: One hundred percent he could have been on the cast,
Speaker 2: I mean at that age, So it makes sense.
Speaker 1: How do you feel about like, Okay, so, like Jesse
Speaker 1: Palmer's obviously older than everyone. Do you think that is
Speaker 1: let's say, let's say Jesse quit tomorrow. Do you think
Speaker 1: that is a must that the host needs to be
Speaker 1: older or do you think like you could mix in
Speaker 1: somebody who's like thirty Hmmmm. It does seem weird because
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like I feel like watching
Speaker 1: it now, it feels normal for the host to be older.
Speaker 2: Well, I think at the time when it was just
Speaker 2: the Bachelor, it made sense to have a guy who
Speaker 2: was like kind of the same age as the Bachelor
Speaker 2: hosting the show. But why just like for like relatability
Speaker 2: and for them to like, you know, bond over it,
Speaker 2: get along vibe. I don't know. But and I also
Speaker 2: think you know, him getting hired at twenty seven, there
Speaker 2: was so much longevity to the franchise, like he was
Speaker 2: able to host like if they hired a seventy year
Speaker 2: old right out of the gate. Like yeah, but you
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. But I do think that now,
Speaker 2: especially with Bachelor at like, it's weird seeing him and
Speaker 2: all the guys because it's like, well, you could be
Speaker 2: one of the cast members versus when he's hosting Bachelor
Speaker 2: and it's all the girls. I just feel like it's
Speaker 2: a little bit different. I think it doesn't really matter,
Speaker 2: but I think Jesse Palmer's like a good age for
Speaker 2: you know, it's like father Jesse, like uncle Jesse.
Speaker 1: I agree. I agree, he's not that much.
Speaker 2: Older than them, to be honest, Uncle and father a
Speaker 2: little bit of a strong word, but you know what
Speaker 2: I'm saying, older brother, older brother, brother Jesse. I like that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's giving brother Jesse.
Speaker 1: Okay, So first thing, First things first, Trista, I do
Speaker 1: I actually really I like the way the beginning was
Speaker 1: because we almost have like this this recap of Trista's life.
Speaker 1: I don't do they do that as much anymore.
Speaker 2: They do do it? I mean, like we saw with
Speaker 2: Hannah Brown's. They had an intra package talking about her
Speaker 2: and you know what she did for a living. But
Speaker 2: I feel like the inter packages now are more focused on,
Speaker 2: like what their journey within the franchise has been, So
Speaker 2: it's like, you know what happened when they got their
Speaker 2: heartbroken and where are they now. With Trista's, it kind
Speaker 2: of felt like a documentary opening, like you have like
Speaker 2: Chris Harrison like narrative, like Trista Sutter from X y
Speaker 2: Z working as a pediatrician, Like it just.
Speaker 1: Well, I feel like I know so much about her now, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: she was a Miami cheerleader, she is a pediatrician, got her.
Speaker 2: Whole resume almost like her career history, her school history.
Speaker 2: They really gave you the full package. I actually did
Speaker 2: like that they had a clip of her mom talking,
Speaker 2: So I do feel like we have the packages now
Speaker 2: for the lead. But I think that they went more
Speaker 2: into depth into her and her life than maybe they
Speaker 2: have in the past.
Speaker 1: I think careers used to be a much bigger deal
Speaker 1: on this show.
Speaker 2: One hundred percent. They talked so much about people's careers,
Speaker 2: whereas now I feel like they focused on people's dating history. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's like what was your history and relationship with love
Speaker 2: and how is that going to impact your journey to
Speaker 2: find your future person. Whereas you see such an emphasis
Speaker 2: even the guys talking about their career and asking trist
Speaker 2: about their career.
Speaker 1: Well, I think it was I think that time it
Speaker 1: was much more like it was more important what you
Speaker 1: did for a living, Like your partner really was like
Speaker 1: the person you dated, Like, yeah, it was an attraction thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I still think career is a part
Speaker 2: of like choosing your partner to an extent, but I
Speaker 2: think it was bigger at that time. I also think
Speaker 2: it's the first time they're having bachelorette, but I think
Speaker 2: that the concept of like the man being the provider
Speaker 2: for the family was still being pushed at that time.
Speaker 2: Yeah strongly. I mean, like Trista's got an incredibly successful career,
Speaker 2: but you can see the guys like this is what
Speaker 2: I do. Like they are almost giving like their sales
Speaker 2: pitch of themselves and their intro packages, and all of
Speaker 2: them are starting with like I'm very good at what
Speaker 2: I do. I'm very successful, I make a lot of money.
Speaker 2: Like it's this like I am here to be the
Speaker 2: provider of the family energy, which I just don't think
Speaker 2: you see as much anymore. And I also think you
Speaker 2: see a lot of guys coming on like still trying
Speaker 2: to like figure their shit out with their careers.
Speaker 1: Like yeah, so much more now we see because you
Speaker 1: get guys in their mid twenties that are still figuring
Speaker 1: out and then.
Speaker 2: Or like just left their job to be here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you have the old the whole other aspect of
Speaker 1: the show of like you could if you know, you
Speaker 1: could become an influencer or whatnot. That's why, that's why
Speaker 1: there's still so many fans out there that watch a
Speaker 1: show that are like get a real job, Like yeah,
Speaker 1: like you're just here for Cloud.
Speaker 2: Especially I'm sure the fans that I mean, I wasn't
Speaker 2: watching the show when Trista was about Shratt, but I
Speaker 2: can imagine, like there's so many fans out there that
Speaker 2: have watched from like day one, and it kind of
Speaker 2: makes sense why there is that energy of like get
Speaker 2: a real job, because like these guys are coming on
Speaker 2: with these like full careers that they have to go
Speaker 2: back to, like there's no alternative career path for them
Speaker 2: from this show, whereas now, I mean, like you can
Speaker 2: go onto other reality shows, like you can go onto
Speaker 2: other reality dating shows if you don't end up with
Speaker 2: that person.
Speaker 1: There's like in yeah, but that's also but that's it's
Speaker 1: still like only only a select few end up getting
Speaker 1: that totally.
Speaker 2: But everyone, I feel like, thinks they're like the shining star, right,
Speaker 2: so like everyone comes on Hope Fall for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. Okay, going back to you saying like
Speaker 1: the guys are like almost pitching themselves, I agree. Like
Speaker 1: every every like interview that we see, that's what we're getting,
Speaker 1: except for.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's given like job interviewing.
Speaker 1: Except for Bob Guinea. And that's why he's one thousand
Speaker 1: percent like he's a star. He's sorry, he's a standout
Speaker 1: because he's the only one you're like, oh this.
Speaker 2: Guy, Yeah, this guy's just at a party.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: He just like he's like I'm a house with a bunch.
Speaker 1: Of also being he's just like talking being himself.
Speaker 2: That's what I mean. Like he's just very organic. He's
Speaker 2: acting like he's just like in a house with a
Speaker 2: bunch of dudes having some beers. Like I don't think
Speaker 2: I heard him say like one like pitchy line about.
Speaker 1: Even and you could tell all the guys love him.
Speaker 1: Oh he's standing up, he does, he's dancing in front
Speaker 1: of everyone's doing like the Irish jig or whatever he's doing.
Speaker 2: It's so funny. He has like a shining personality on
Speaker 2: the show. He would thrive on this season I think
Speaker 2: maybe best because of the times, but he would drive
Speaker 2: on any season, do you know what I mean? It
Speaker 2: was so crazy even if you put him on the
Speaker 2: show to day, like if you plucked him at age
Speaker 2: whatever he was. Let's see how old was Bob when
Speaker 2: he went on the show. For those listening Bob ends up.
Speaker 1: I would say maybe I would say he was like
Speaker 1: twenty seven.
Speaker 2: He's thirty one, thirty, he's a mortgage broker. That's so
Speaker 2: funny to be other than why for those listening Bob ends.
Speaker 1: Up becoming the best becoming the next Bachelor, which was
Speaker 1: a for what like that's all the ship that like
Speaker 1: the show gets for, like picking their leads or choosing
Speaker 1: their leads of making mistake. When they picked Bob, Guinea
Speaker 1: that that was a great pick.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, hundred.
Speaker 1: I was like, I remember, what's crazy is I didn't
Speaker 1: you know at that age. I don't know what year
Speaker 1: this was, but I remember being very I remember being young,
Speaker 1: and I might have been I don't know if I
Speaker 1: was in high school yet or what, but if I was,
Speaker 1: it would have been like freshman year. And I remember
Speaker 1: my mom sitting in the den watching.
Speaker 2: This, and I remember watching Trist this season.
Speaker 1: Watching Trist's season, and I remember walking downstairs.
Speaker 2: I always forget your mom is like a lifelong fan
Speaker 2: of this.
Speaker 1: I remember walking downstairs and sitting there and then watching
Speaker 1: Bob and going, I like that guy. I'll keep watching
Speaker 1: the show because of that guy. Yeah, that is so
Speaker 1: because he was funny and like he is. And when
Speaker 1: you're when you're when you're when you're thirteen or fourteen
Speaker 1: years old, when you're a thirteen fourteen year old boy,
Speaker 1: you're like, I don't care about like love girls, thirty
Speaker 1: year old dude, But here's this guy like drinking beers
Speaker 1: and like laughing about it. You're like, this is this
Speaker 1: is hysterical.
Speaker 2: Well, Bob got the last rose of the entire Row ceremony. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and all the guys he like went up again and
Speaker 2: all the guys are laughing, So like you already know
Speaker 2: that he's a hit. In the house.
Speaker 1: We were with him during an iHeart event and he
Speaker 1: was and he was telling us, yeah, like how like
Speaker 1: he became really became the Bachelor because Oprah had him
Speaker 1: like to like make this man the Bachelor publicly called
Speaker 1: it out of like I want Bob to be the Bachelor.
Speaker 1: He was going on the Oprah Show to.
Speaker 2: Do She's doing a segment. Yeah, well he was on
Speaker 2: the show. Like they literally plucked him off the Bachelor
Speaker 2: said come do segments on Oprah. We think you're great.
Speaker 2: Opah's a huge fan, ye, And then Oprah was like
Speaker 2: make Bob Guinea the Bachelor, and like you're not gonna
Speaker 2: say no to Oprah, Like that's it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I would say if they didn't, If if
Speaker 1: Oprah doesn't do that, then the show probably chooses the
Speaker 1: runner up, especially at that time, because I feel like
Speaker 1: the runner up probably got a ton of luck.
Speaker 2: Yes, which was Charlie who in episode one, Trista says
Speaker 2: like she's the most sexually attracted to him. She lists
Speaker 2: him as like one of her top four guys that
Speaker 2: she's into. He's twenty eight financial analysts, good looking guy,
Speaker 2: like definitely could see him having been the Bachelor, Like
Speaker 2: they definitely consider Bob. But I don't know if he's
Speaker 2: who they would have gone with, not been for Oprah.
Speaker 2: I think he said that as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah he did. How about the guy that brought the
Speaker 1: Tiffany box.
Speaker 2: And they never saw I wanted to see what was
Speaker 2: inside of it. I don't think they opened it up.
Speaker 1: I mean at the time, and it's Tiffany's still a
Speaker 1: massive luxury brand that I would say at the time
Speaker 1: that was like a oh well.
Speaker 2: I remember, did you ever see the movie Sweet Home
Speaker 2: Alabama Reese Witherspoon and Patrick Dempsey. The opening scene, not
Speaker 2: the opening scene, but one of the beginning scenes is
Speaker 2: when he takes her to the Tiffany store in New
Speaker 2: York City.
Speaker 1: Oh, I forget Patrick Dempsey plays like the guy that
Speaker 1: she she's engaged to but then doesn't really love him.
Speaker 2: Right, yes, yes, And then going back to her small
Speaker 2: town and I remember just being like this, well, I
Speaker 2: was like, this isn't like, you know, it's a good
Speaker 2: proposal in front of a bunch of strangers at Tiffany's.
Speaker 2: But I was just like, this is so cool. Like
Speaker 2: she walks into this dark store, all the lights go on.
Speaker 2: They're in like the Tiffany store. He's like, pick whicheverone
Speaker 2: you want. I was like, this is the dream.
Speaker 1: I wonder how it would come across today if somebody,
Speaker 1: like for gen season, if some guy brings like a
Speaker 1: really expensive.
Speaker 2: I don't think well, and the people would be like,
Speaker 2: that's like showy of him.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I also I agree, it would.
Speaker 2: Feel like a weird I can't think of anyone that's
Speaker 2: done that in the last few years where they've brought
Speaker 2: some sort of like expensive gift. It's always meant to
Speaker 2: be like something sentimental or like a little token, yeah something.
Speaker 1: The only way I guess to look at it is yeah,
Speaker 1: you're just trying to flex your money.
Speaker 2: Yeah. But I mean if I'm the Buchrad, I'm like,
Speaker 2: I don't care, like, thank you, I'm not mad about it.
Speaker 2: I think the other guys would be mad about it, though.
Speaker 1: Oh so you'd be happy.
Speaker 2: If someone brought me a fucking Tiffany box, Yeah with
Speaker 2: Tiffany jewelry inside.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, of course.
Speaker 2: I mean, like, it doesn't mean I'm going to get
Speaker 2: engaged to you, but like.
Speaker 1: Gift.
Speaker 2: Let me actually thinking about it further. I would be like,
Speaker 2: this is really cool, but I also might feel a
Speaker 2: little uncomfortable taking like a really expensive gift from someone
Speaker 2: that I don't know and don't know if it's going
Speaker 2: to like work out, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Like I would be like, I don't want to feel
Speaker 2: like I have to keep you because you just bought
Speaker 2: me something really beautiful.
Speaker 1: Like you could say. You could say that, and then
Speaker 1: if he was like, Okay, I'm still fine with giving
Speaker 1: it to you. I have a lot of money.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd be like, great, I'll keep it, thank you
Speaker 2: so much.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 2: Just like take it tied to romance too. I don't know.
Speaker 2: It's just like beautiful joy from Tiffany is like such
Speaker 2: a romantic gesture.
Speaker 1: I wonder how Neil Lane feels about this. He probably
Speaker 1: wasn't happy about the Tiffany.
Speaker 2: Was Neil Lane a sponsor right from the get go?
Speaker 2: Is he doing the rings? I don't know at the time. Well,
Speaker 2: if anyone's bringing any jewelry onto that show, it's Neil Lane.
Speaker 2: I don't think we're going to be seeing any other
Speaker 2: jewelry brands today. But the intro, he was the only guy.
Speaker 2: So there's one guy that comes to the limo and
Speaker 2: brings her a Tiffany box with jewelry. Yeah, he's the
Speaker 2: only guy that brought anything. And all the intros were
Speaker 2: like five seconds, like it was like it was like
Speaker 2: walk out, meet her, say your name, and then go
Speaker 2: inside one by one.
Speaker 1: Animal was also kind of jarring was how close the
Speaker 1: limo was to where Trista was standing.
Speaker 2: Oh I didn't even know.
Speaker 1: Oh you didn't know. I know. That was like one
Speaker 1: of the first things I know. I'm like, wow, that
Speaker 1: the limmos Like she they step out of the limo
Speaker 1: and she's like right there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like five steps yeah, which I would imagine
Speaker 2: is more comfortable.
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, no gimmicks out of the.
Speaker 2: Limo, no gimmicks, no silly intros, no pickup lines, nothing,
Speaker 2: It's like what's your name? It would literally be like
Speaker 2: copy and paste. Hi, I'm Strina. I'm so excited to
Speaker 2: be here. You're beautiful, you look amazing. I can't wait
Speaker 2: to get to know you more and I'll see you inside.
Speaker 2: Boom boom boom. Every single person.
Speaker 1: This episode really giving speed dating. That's what that's what
Speaker 1: it was. That's what it reminded me of.
Speaker 2: Well, and it was only a one hour episode, so
Speaker 2: they didn't really have time to do getmis I mean,
Speaker 2: if you think about it now, the limo entrances and
Speaker 2: the intro packages for the girls or the guys, depending
Speaker 2: on the season. Take the first hour of the show.
Speaker 1: I wonder so, so Golden Bachelor was an hour. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I wonder if that'll eventually change to two hours two hours.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised. I kind of like Golden at
Speaker 2: the one hour because it's still like a full come.
Speaker 1: I liked, I like The Bachelor. Idded a one hour.
Speaker 1: I like, I like the Bachelor. I like them all
Speaker 1: at one hot. I think two hours is too long.
Speaker 2: Well, the one hour for this intro was. It felt
Speaker 2: fast though, because I didn't really feel like I got
Speaker 2: to know any of the guys.
Speaker 1: But I think I think the the first episode of
Speaker 1: every season should.
Speaker 2: Be two hours, and then from then on full.
Speaker 1: Season should be one hour, and then the finale should
Speaker 1: be two hours.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, I'm sure they'll take that into consideration.
Speaker 1: They should. They really should, because that that is the
Speaker 1: way to do it, in my opinion.
Speaker 2: I wonder what season they started bringing in more like silly,
Speaker 2: gimmicky entrances.
Speaker 1: Well, okay, so we do see. So it's twenty five
Speaker 1: guys for trist the season and they cut ten. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so the season gets cut down to fifteen. Now we
Speaker 1: I'm not mad about no me neither. But we generally
Speaker 1: get like twenty eight to thirty men, yep, or twenty
Speaker 1: eight to thirty one.
Speaker 2: And it get's cut down to like twenty three.
Speaker 1: And it gets cut. Yeah. Usually it's only I think
Speaker 1: for for my season, there was four guys that went home,
Speaker 1: maybe five that went home night one, and I think
Speaker 1: we had thirty something guys, so yeah, that's yeah, so
Speaker 1: there's just more guys that stick around. Yeah, So I
Speaker 1: think you need some of the gimmicky things to remember people.
Speaker 2: Well, that's I think the biggest part is like the
Speaker 2: gimmicks and the intro packages and all that is what
Speaker 2: allows you to get to know these people, and because
Speaker 2: there's going to be so many of them, you kind
Speaker 2: of need it. Whereas like the first episode, I feel
Speaker 2: like for this it's like gets it's really more about
Speaker 2: get to know Trista and a few of the guys yea.
Speaker 2: And they're right away. They're at like Chris Harrison is saying,
Speaker 2: who are your top dudes? And she's like listing off.
Speaker 1: Off the four guys who I would have been like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that makes its total sense.
Speaker 2: She listed off Ryan, who she ends up with and
Speaker 2: is now married to Charlie, who's your runner up, Russell
Speaker 2: who was fourth place, and then this guy Jamie who
Speaker 2: was fifth place, and then Bob's snuck in there.
Speaker 1: Where was Bob? Where did he end up?
Speaker 2: He's third?
Speaker 1: Oh, Bob's third. Yeah, so it makes sense.
Speaker 2: Basically, she picked her top four ad Bob top five
Speaker 2: from the first night. She knew right away.
Speaker 1: Now you could see, I mean you said it as
Speaker 1: we as we watch, but you could tell Trista is
Speaker 1: really into Ryan right out of the level. The way
Speaker 1: she's like staring at him, you can't see a spark.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah. He came out of the limon and they
Speaker 2: chatted and he like went to go and said She
Speaker 2: was like, wait, what's your name? Yeah, was like, oh,
Speaker 2: it's Ryan, And like just the way she was looking him,
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my god, she loves him already.
Speaker 2: This is so romantic.
Speaker 1: I don't know him very well at all.
Speaker 2: Now we met them in person one time, Yeah, when
Speaker 2: we met Bob.
Speaker 1: Ye, yeah, I met them in person. You have a Bob.
Speaker 1: Such a Bob is a is a loud like.
Speaker 2: He's larger than life.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I feel like you talked to Bob for
Speaker 1: twenty minutes, you really you really get to know Bob. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But Ryan seems like a really nice guy and from
Speaker 1: what I saw of him, like he really seems like
Speaker 1: he's still there, like he is this person that Oh.
Speaker 2: My god, they both are to be honest, like I
Speaker 2: would say Tristan Ryan having met them now, like they
Speaker 2: are so similar to how they were when you know,
Speaker 2: she was twenty nine and he was twenty eight on
Speaker 2: this show, which is so crazy. He's still a firefighter.
Speaker 2: I like anyone on this show.
Speaker 1: This episode, I I enjoyed it. There's there's there's just
Speaker 1: way less nonsense going on.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, because it's only an hour, you don't have
Speaker 2: time for any of the nonsense. I'm sure that comes
Speaker 2: into play later in the season, but like think about it,
Speaker 2: like six hours the verses, but.
Speaker 1: The nonsense later on is usually like like some real
Speaker 1: drama going on, Like there's like it builds.
Speaker 2: Do you mean, like the paper airplane drama between like
Speaker 2: McKenna and Natasha. Yeah, like you know, just you know, stilly.
Speaker 1: Back or just like honestly, and like he seems great
Speaker 1: but like you know, we bring on Charity's brother to
Speaker 1: be the bartender undercover.
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, there's always something where that happens night one,
Speaker 2: but it always kind of like sticks out. Yeah, but
Speaker 2: there was just no time for it. And I also
Speaker 2: think this was a time where like people were really
Speaker 2: concerned about how they like came across. I think people
Speaker 2: still are, but I think like personality gets in a
Speaker 2: way rewarded and like your authentic personality is really encouraged. Yeah,
Speaker 2: whereas like these guys, I don't know, there's like real
Speaker 2: copy paste energy with them, Like they all look the same,
Speaker 2: everyone's wearing the same suit, everyone's got similar ask not everyone,
Speaker 2: but a lot of similar esque jobs. It feels like
Speaker 2: they're saying a lot of the same things. Like I
Speaker 2: think there was like a perfect guy mold that like
Speaker 2: everyone's kind of trying to fit into. And I would
Speaker 2: bet that it was the same with the female contescence
Speaker 2: on The Bachelor early on, Whereas now I feel like
Speaker 2: everyone leans more into their own like individuality and that's
Speaker 2: why we see more like crazy things happened Night one.
Speaker 1: Well said yeah, I agree, thank you. That makes yeah
Speaker 1: definitely one hundred percent and I would say, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: like like especially like their jobs and their careers back then,
Speaker 1: if they went on reality TV. I would say, even
Speaker 1: going on reality people was like you're an idiot, like
Speaker 1: you're gonna lose your job.
Speaker 2: Type of ye, don't act don't act like a fool.
Speaker 1: And then if you act like a fool, like yeah,
Speaker 1: you're you're you're done.
Speaker 2: But but I think with like social media and like this
Speaker 2: whole like performance culture online, with all the different social
Speaker 2: media platforms and how big and widespread reality TV has gotten,
Speaker 2: there's become there's a little more leniency now.
Speaker 1: But then again, there was no social media, so.
Speaker 2: That's point though.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but people also like after I would say, after
Speaker 1: the show airs, Yeah, but they got so many viewers
Speaker 1: back then.
Speaker 2: No, I think like jobs have had to become more
Speaker 2: lenient with people's behavior in their spare time. It's like
Speaker 2: what you do in your personal time, on your social media,
Speaker 2: on your TikTok, like can really only impact your job
Speaker 2: so much because like everyone's doing it, like everyone has
Speaker 2: a life outside of work. Whereas like I think that
Speaker 2: reputation and like corporate culture and expectations were just different
Speaker 2: back then.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, yeah, I agree.
Speaker 2: I think that's why it kind of feels like everyone's
Speaker 2: on the show like giving sales pitch, like they feel
Speaker 2: like they're a little bit like at work and like
Speaker 2: keeping in mind that like their entire office is probably
Speaker 2: watching this.
Speaker 1: I wonder if any of them were in the headspace
Speaker 1: of like, maybe I'll become an actor or a host.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm certain some of them were, you think, so absolutely.
Speaker 1: See, I'm not really getting that from any guy.
Speaker 2: I think there's definitely guys that were like who knows,
Speaker 2: Like I mean, look at Bob, you got plucked by Oprah. Like,
Speaker 2: I'm sure he inspired a lot of guys to be like,
Speaker 2: I could be the next Bob Well.
Speaker 1: I think yeah, I would say after Bob might have
Speaker 1: been the first to kind of like lay that groundwork of.
Speaker 2: Like there's more here than just me going on a
Speaker 2: show and finding a girlfriend. Yeah, Bob is literally a
Speaker 2: low key celebrity, like he's doing segments on Oprah. I'm
Speaker 2: sure his career now is like I think impacted by
Speaker 2: like hit the show.
Speaker 1: Well, but also Jesse Palmer too, like Jesse who was
Speaker 1: the Bachelor, But I think they were choosing bachelors that
Speaker 1: were like also at the time, like kind of famous,
Speaker 1: like Jesse played in the NFL, so he had that.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he was a commentator.
Speaker 2: No, he wasn't. I don't believe he was like an
Speaker 2: ex pro football player or like at the time a
Speaker 2: pro football player. I think they were more. It wasn't
Speaker 2: about like celebrity status. It was just about like status
Speaker 2: in general, like you wanted like it was like someone
Speaker 2: that was like very good looking, established career or like
Speaker 2: pro athlete with money.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like you weren't coming on the Bachelorette without like
Speaker 1: in between jobs. Absolutely not, like you would have been
Speaker 1: sent home on me that was like that would have
Speaker 1: been that would have been, for that time, the biggest
Speaker 1: red flag. I would say, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well I don't even know if they would have gotten
Speaker 2: cast it. Yeah, if it was like you don't have
Speaker 2: a job, whereas like now it's like I left my
Speaker 2: job to be here, aka, like I'm jobless, and that's
Speaker 2: like pretty common.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 2: Especially I think like the pandemic shifted that as well,
Speaker 2: because people were coming on being like I got let
Speaker 2: go during the pandemic, or I was a nurse and
Speaker 2: now I'm not like working and like just all these
Speaker 2: things that were very valid, Like it was very valid
Speaker 2: to not have a job during the pandemic because a
Speaker 2: lot of people lost their jobs or weren't able to
Speaker 2: do their jobs. Yeah, so I think that like shifted
Speaker 2: things as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well trist ends up with Ryan. They now have
Speaker 1: how many kids too? You know?
Speaker 2: It was so crazy was when he was like, I'm
Speaker 2: not very good like at talking, but thank got he
Speaker 2: had like a beautiful poem to get her. It was
Speaker 2: like a good lead in. But and I think he
Speaker 2: still does that, still said that night went Now I'd
Speaker 2: be like, this guy's not making it through the show, Like.
Speaker 1: Oh, I would think he still makes it.
Speaker 2: He's so endearing and like so sweet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the guy Ryan, if he's on, if he's on today,
Speaker 1: he still does that.
Speaker 2: Guy does still does there because he's a genuine person,
Speaker 2: like when you meet him, like.
Speaker 1: He's very looking too.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, But it's so funny because I think you know this,
Speaker 2: but like my dad doesn't isn't a fan of the show,
Speaker 2: Like he barely liked watching it when I his daughter
Speaker 2: was on it, and it like stresses him out. He
Speaker 2: hates the heartbreak and makes him so sad when like
Speaker 2: people get their heart broken, but he's like obsessed with
Speaker 2: Tristan Ryan. I didn't even know he watched this season,
Speaker 2: but then when we had trist on the podcast a
Speaker 2: few months back, he was like, I just love her,
Speaker 2: like she's just so like sweet and fun and bubbly,
Speaker 2: and then like he loves Ryan. I think it's because
Speaker 2: their personalities and dynamic will remind him of my mom
Speaker 2: and him, because like my mom was like outgoing extrovert
Speaker 2: and my dad's like shy and.
Speaker 1: He's just like okada.
Speaker 2: I know my dad always says he's shy, but my
Speaker 2: dad has like such a personality.
Speaker 1: It's like one of the least shy people I know, always.
Speaker 2: Describes himself as shy. But I'm like, you truly have
Speaker 2: such a personality shy at all. Though I would say
Speaker 2: he is shy, he just like maybe he works like
Speaker 2: in like not sales, but he's in like real commercial
Speaker 2: real estates.
Speaker 1: I would say he's a people person.
Speaker 2: He is, he's so good with people. But that doesn't
Speaker 2: mean he's not shy, true, But anyway, I think he
Speaker 2: just like sees himself and my mom and him in
Speaker 2: that relationship. But he's like obsessed with Tristan Ryan.
Speaker 1: Well, it's nice about this one too. It's it's the
Speaker 1: first ever season of the Bachelorette and they're a success story.
Speaker 2: God, eh, what a way to get out. They're like
Speaker 2: one of the success stories. I truly think they have
Speaker 2: like such a beautiful love too, Like just watching them
Speaker 2: interact like warms my heart.
Speaker 1: And they had a televised wedding, right, it even says
Speaker 1: what they got paid for.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they had a televised wedding. She opened up about that.
Speaker 2: They got married. So they got engaged in February when
Speaker 2: they filmed the show, and then they got married the
Speaker 2: like following.
Speaker 1: December with the runner up. Did he become the bachelor?
Speaker 2: No, I don't think so.
Speaker 1: No, no, oh no, Bob became the Bachelor. What are
Speaker 1: we talking about?
Speaker 2: Yeah so I sometimes they like they go back in
Speaker 2: time and pull from the past season.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, he didn't become the bachelor. But they got married.
Speaker 2: She said they got paid a million dollars for their
Speaker 2: televised wedding.
Speaker 1: I mean no, it was one hundred grand a million,
Speaker 1: I swear is it a million?
Speaker 2: If it's a million, like holy no. She said the
Speaker 2: couple were paid one million for the special, which was
Speaker 2: filmed at The Lodge Luxury Resort in Rancho Mirage, California,
Speaker 2: and drew over twenty six million viewers December two thousand
Speaker 2: and three.
Speaker 1: Wow, good for them.
Speaker 2: I mean that was like the franchise was thriving. And
Speaker 2: also like they're investing in that couple. You know, first Bacherette.
Speaker 2: She's so gorgeous, she's so lovable. He's awesome. They're obsessed
Speaker 2: with each other. It's just like amazing. Overall.
Speaker 1: If the show wants to pay us a million bucks,
Speaker 1: we will get divorced and remarried.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, absolutely, you heard it here. First, guys, are we are?
Speaker 1: We are bored than willing.
Speaker 2: We're more than willing for that to go down a
Speaker 2: million bucks. No, for real. After struggling with infertility for
Speaker 2: nearly two years, the couple welcome to their first son, Maxwell,
Speaker 2: who was born July twenty seven, two thousand and seven.
Speaker 2: About two years later, they welcome to their second child,
Speaker 2: who is a girl, and she was born April third,
Speaker 2: two thousand and nine, and they've been together ever since.
Speaker 2: And it was very sweet, like Trista was talking about
Speaker 2: like her daughter being into dance and Ryan was watching
Speaker 2: their son play hockey like live streaming his hockey game.
Speaker 2: When we're with them, you can just tell they're like
Speaker 2: very involved with their kids.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're great, amazing.
Speaker 2: I just love them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're like what you want, the poster.
Speaker 2: Child for the franchise, but also just like the poster
Speaker 2: child for like a beautiful family.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Who, Like there's a lot of love there.
Speaker 1: Way to go, guys, well, way to go.
Speaker 2: God.
Speaker 1: The nice thing is we are going to have Trista
Speaker 1: on next week to break down her Night one episode
Speaker 1: and probably the rest of her season, and we'll talk
Speaker 1: about whatever she's got going on. Now. I know some
Speaker 1: weird shit went down with Ryan's Instagram posting and people
Speaker 1: were like, what's happening, But they're all good.
Speaker 2: Yeah. We talked about that in a past episode of
Speaker 2: Boucher Happy Hour with Danny about some Bouche Nation news.
Speaker 2: So if you don't know what we're referring to, feel
Speaker 2: free to go listen to that so that you're all
Speaker 2: up to date for win. Trista comes on and I
Speaker 2: want to ask her more about like some of the
Speaker 2: differences in the franchise then and now, because there was
Speaker 2: no first impression Rose, there was no group date Roses No.
Speaker 2: Two on ones and at the time, because she was
Speaker 2: the first lead, we didn't know if she was going
Speaker 2: to be getting down on one knee and proposing to
Speaker 2: the go make sure we asked that too, and she didn't.
Speaker 2: He proposed to her, So.
Speaker 1: But I wonder if she went into this season and
Speaker 1: you know, like, I'm going to be the one to
Speaker 1: do that.
Speaker 2: One hundred percent. I think the only person we've seen
Speaker 2: do that in the franchise was actually Beca ku Frien,
Speaker 2: who proposed to Thomas, but not on the show. We've
Speaker 2: never seen a bochelorette like on the show get down
Speaker 2: on one knee as far as I'm aware. But yeah, lots
Speaker 2: of fun questions for Trista. It was really really cool
Speaker 2: going back and watching her Night one episode because I've
Speaker 2: never seen that season and I kind of want to
Speaker 2: watch the rest now.
Speaker 1: Okay, they got to send them to us. Gonna send
