WEBVTT - Let's talk 877-24Drama

0:00:01.000 --> 0:00:04.880
<v Speaker 1>This is the most dramatic podcast ever and I heart

0:00:04.960 --> 0:00:10.200
<v Speaker 1>radio podcast. Welcome to the most dramatic podcast ever. I'm

0:00:10.240 --> 0:00:14.800
<v Speaker 1>Chris Harrison joining me from the home office here in Austin, Texas,

0:00:15.160 --> 0:00:20.640
<v Speaker 1>el Z. We are celebrating the Kansas City Chiefs as

0:00:20.680 --> 0:00:25.159
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl Champions of the World, the big championship, the

0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:29.479
<v Speaker 1>biggest thing in sports. Everybody the big headline obviously the

0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:34.560
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl, but really the big headline was the halftime show.

0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:37.239
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh. Well, you know, the only reason I'll

0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:41.800
<v Speaker 1>get involved in sports is two do the non sporty

0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:44.640
<v Speaker 1>thing about the supporting event, whether it's wine or snacks

0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:47.280
<v Speaker 1>or in the case of the Super Bowl, the halftime show.

0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:49.519
<v Speaker 1>And we got to talk about it. I mean, we

0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:54.680
<v Speaker 1>get to the dramatic headlines and Rihanna or big reveal.

0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:58.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if everybody knows this not our pregnancy.

0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:01.160
<v Speaker 1>Her real name pronunciation is Rihanna, so I'm gonna say

0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:05.720
<v Speaker 1>it correctly. Rihanna for real reveals she is pregnant with

0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:10.640
<v Speaker 1>baby number two during the halftime show. We were watching it,

0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:13.440
<v Speaker 1>and I will say, we're watching it live. We're loving

0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:16.319
<v Speaker 1>the performance. You said spectacular. I thought it was incredible,

0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:18.759
<v Speaker 1>but we're watching along with hundreds and hundreds of millions

0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:22.039
<v Speaker 1>of people, and I promise you every Super Bowl party

0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:25.160
<v Speaker 1>around the world was having the same debate, is she pregnant?

0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:28.520
<v Speaker 1>We're all watching going okay, wait, well, because it's sort

0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:31.400
<v Speaker 1>of this. I mean, for a second I was. I

0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:33.440
<v Speaker 1>didn't want to say anything because you don't want to judge,

0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:35.840
<v Speaker 1>you don't want to speculate about that. The worst debate

0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:38.600
<v Speaker 1>any of us can have, The worst thing you can

0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:41.800
<v Speaker 1>say publicly is that person pregnant. Every man in the

0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:45.080
<v Speaker 1>world knows and should know, and you can attest to this.

0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:48.480
<v Speaker 1>I did not speak up at our party when everybody,

0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:51.880
<v Speaker 1>all of the women, all of them with children, were saying,

0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:54.760
<v Speaker 1>oh my gosh, she's pregnant. You know you even said,

0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:57.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying anything. You believe the moms, these are

0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:00.400
<v Speaker 1>friends who have kids, were like, no, that looks like

0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:03.240
<v Speaker 1>a baby bump. That doesn't look like a postpartum body,

0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:04.800
<v Speaker 1>because she did just have a baby last year. They

0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:06.680
<v Speaker 1>were saying, that looks like a baby bump. And I

0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:09.720
<v Speaker 1>will say, the outfit was really built like the belt

0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:12.600
<v Speaker 1>kind was under the bump. And then towards the end,

0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:15.919
<v Speaker 1>when she started rubbing the bump. Even then I'm like, okay,

0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:19.120
<v Speaker 1>but I need the confirmation from her. But we were

0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:21.000
<v Speaker 1>all wondering, and I'm looking on Twitter, and I was

0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:23.280
<v Speaker 1>feeling a bit better that everyone was saying, wait, is

0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:27.560
<v Speaker 1>she pregnant? The only time I gave in during the debate,

0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:30.600
<v Speaker 1>and now obviously it has been confirmed she is pregnant

0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:32.920
<v Speaker 1>with baby number two. Yes, her rep has confirmed it.

0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:36.360
<v Speaker 1>When she was singing Diamonds and they hoisted her basically

0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:39.240
<v Speaker 1>to the top of that arena, she said the line

0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:42.480
<v Speaker 1>from the song the lyric at first sight, I felt

0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:45.680
<v Speaker 1>the energy of sun rays. I saw the life inside

0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:50.079
<v Speaker 1>your eyes when she sang those lyrics. She rubbed her belly.

0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:53.000
<v Speaker 1>It was beautiful and that was and that's when I knew.

0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:56.320
<v Speaker 1>But that's the only time I felt safe when she

0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:58.360
<v Speaker 1>was she sang that she kind of rubbed her belly,

0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:00.200
<v Speaker 1>and I thought that was a really beautiful moment and

0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:03.520
<v Speaker 1>by the way, scary as hell, pregnant or not. That

0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:06.400
<v Speaker 1>shot when they hoisted her to the top, the stage,

0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:09.880
<v Speaker 1>the choreography, the the art direction, the way they covered

0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:13.680
<v Speaker 1>it spectacular. The camera work. You and I both being

0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:16.480
<v Speaker 1>in TV, we were watching it going these cameras, the

0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:19.280
<v Speaker 1>quality was amazing when they were walking with her and

0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:21.240
<v Speaker 1>her face was right up close and she was kind

0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:23.160
<v Speaker 1>of giving a subtle smile as she walked the field.

0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:26.320
<v Speaker 1>The way that they shot the choreography, the dancers, those

0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:29.919
<v Speaker 1>moving stages. At one point the camera flipped upside down.

0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:33.240
<v Speaker 1>I thought, the way they filmed this show and those stages,

0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:36.320
<v Speaker 1>the moving stages were unforgettable. That was so different and cool.

0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:39.520
<v Speaker 1>And having been a sportscaster and covered many Super Bowls

0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:42.120
<v Speaker 1>and been there and have seen these halftime shows take

0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:44.839
<v Speaker 1>place live and on television. The whole show was made

0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:49.200
<v Speaker 1>for TV. But when you stop a football game and

0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:51.720
<v Speaker 1>you have nothing set up, and you have about ten

0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 1>minutes between the commercials and they kill a little time

0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:58.360
<v Speaker 1>with the on field commentary to set up a production

0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:02.520
<v Speaker 1>the size of at with all the dancers, all the stage,

0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:06.480
<v Speaker 1>the lifts in and up from the top of the stadium,

0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:09.080
<v Speaker 1>two be able to produce because the whole thing is

0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 1>set up to shoot a football game, not a concert.

0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:16.720
<v Speaker 1>And they made it look spectacular. And you go back

0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:19.640
<v Speaker 1>to what last year's in l A. It was like

0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:23.119
<v Speaker 1>the concept didn't quite work, it didn't come off as well.

0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:25.799
<v Speaker 1>And sometimes it doesn't sound as good. I just thought

0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:29.479
<v Speaker 1>everything came together with this performance. I agree. And I

0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:31.520
<v Speaker 1>was sitting there thinking, because you always think this with

0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:34.080
<v Speaker 1>the super Bowl halftime show, who's she going to bring out?

0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:36.240
<v Speaker 1>Like we saw that jay Z was there, and you

0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:38.640
<v Speaker 1>know they have such a history of working together. I mean,

0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:40.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm pretty sure he discovered Rihanna. I could be wrong,

0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:44.600
<v Speaker 1>but so I thought, maybe jay is gonna come out. Um.

0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:48.480
<v Speaker 1>But then the fact that the surprise guest was her

0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:51.680
<v Speaker 1>new little one. I mean, she's the only person to

0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:53.799
<v Speaker 1>ever do that. She just did the super Bowl halftime

0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:57.520
<v Speaker 1>show pregnant. I thought that was so freaking cool. But

0:04:57.600 --> 0:04:59.920
<v Speaker 1>it is interesting how like you and I are watching,

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:02.320
<v Speaker 1>going we love this, Oh my god, she sounds amazing,

0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:05.360
<v Speaker 1>the dancing, the production value, and yet still I had

0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:07.919
<v Speaker 1>people deeming me or people online going and I didn't

0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:11.159
<v Speaker 1>love it. It's just interesting to me how polarizing these

0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:15.480
<v Speaker 1>dramatic headlines can be here. It really, it really was interesting,

0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:19.159
<v Speaker 1>and guys, it is I always will give the nod

0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:22.720
<v Speaker 1>to the performer. It is an impossible place to perform.

0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:25.360
<v Speaker 1>You're jumping into a football game. This is not set

0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:27.920
<v Speaker 1>up for you, and for her to pull it off

0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:30.760
<v Speaker 1>and do that well, pregnant or not. But again, she

0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:34.240
<v Speaker 1>was pregnant. So if you even remotely thought she was

0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:37.320
<v Speaker 1>a badass, now there is no question what a badass

0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:41.640
<v Speaker 1>she is. That was incredible. The first pregnant performer ever

0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:45.479
<v Speaker 1>at the halftime of the super Bowl. That was ridiculous. Yeah,

0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:47.360
<v Speaker 1>and even if she hadn't, I mean, she's singing live.

0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:49.920
<v Speaker 1>The choreography was so cool. Like we said, the staging

0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:52.760
<v Speaker 1>was so cool. I think that doing the super Bowl

0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:55.920
<v Speaker 1>halftime show is similar to hosting an awards show like

0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:58.560
<v Speaker 1>the Oscars or whatever. No matter what, you're gonna have

0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:02.080
<v Speaker 1>your critics. You're going into knowing some people are gonna

0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:04.080
<v Speaker 1>hate on this. It's like you just said, it's kind

0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:06.120
<v Speaker 1>of one of those impossible things to do. You're never

0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:08.800
<v Speaker 1>going to get in a hunt. Party goes, oh, there's

0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:11.480
<v Speaker 1>a there's a track of course as a track. By

0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:13.599
<v Speaker 1>the way, again, this is not set up for her

0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:16.680
<v Speaker 1>to do a concert. It's a super Bowl and so

0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:20.080
<v Speaker 1>yes there's a track behind her because the audio usually

0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:23.440
<v Speaker 1>sucks in those arenas and in that environment. So they

0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:26.320
<v Speaker 1>always covered their back like that. But she obviously they

0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:29.080
<v Speaker 1>were live vocals going on along with the track. So

0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:31.560
<v Speaker 1>it was an incredible perform I'm going to defend her

0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:37.040
<v Speaker 1>to the end. I did. I did. And the only issue, honestly,

0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:42.039
<v Speaker 1>was because we started debating the pregnancy thing, as did

0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:44.880
<v Speaker 1>the rest of the world. I kind of missed the

0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:47.160
<v Speaker 1>first minute and a half of that performance because we

0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:49.560
<v Speaker 1>were all shouting, Oh my gosh, is she brightny? Is

0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:52.360
<v Speaker 1>she not? Is she Yeah? I know I And as

0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:54.200
<v Speaker 1>I think back, I can't even remember all the songs

0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:56.359
<v Speaker 1>she did. But also she has such a catalog of

0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:58.680
<v Speaker 1>hit songs. I do love when a performer comes out

0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:01.119
<v Speaker 1>and you kind of you're like, oh, I forgot about

0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:03.000
<v Speaker 1>that song and that song. I mean, she's had such

0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:06.400
<v Speaker 1>an incredible career. This is going to go as down

0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:08.520
<v Speaker 1>as one of my favorite and certainly one of my

0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:11.360
<v Speaker 1>favorite shows of recent years. One bang or after another,

0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:14.320
<v Speaker 1>she crushed it. She crushed it. So I will fight

0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:17.520
<v Speaker 1>for you, Brianna. I will fight for you. And that performance,

0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:20.559
<v Speaker 1>and and I love that she gave a little shout

0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:23.520
<v Speaker 1>out to uh she stopped and checked her makeup. I'm like, yes,

0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:26.080
<v Speaker 1>and get that fenty beauty moment. I like not to

0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:28.240
<v Speaker 1>mention that someone else I saw that online was like,

0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:31.240
<v Speaker 1>what a boss. She got her fanty line. Well, by

0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:33.600
<v Speaker 1>the way, because you don't get paid for the super Bowl,

0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:36.800
<v Speaker 1>you get I mean, of course you're getting. I think

0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:39.960
<v Speaker 1>they cover production costs, right, and you're getting this incredible

0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:44.280
<v Speaker 1>stage where your music is you know, doesn't that suppose

0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:47.040
<v Speaker 1>she doesn't, but still your your Spotify, your music gets

0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:49.800
<v Speaker 1>this huge boost and it's an honor. But I thought, yeah,

0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:51.360
<v Speaker 1>you're not getting paid for this. Get get a little

0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:53.600
<v Speaker 1>ad for your ma. I'm gonna get into some uncharted

0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:56.960
<v Speaker 1>waters because I'm not the entertainment reporter here asap Rocky. Yes,

0:07:57.280 --> 0:07:59.360
<v Speaker 1>So he was there. He was there. He was cheering

0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:01.040
<v Speaker 1>her on. I saw video of him sharing her on

0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:04.560
<v Speaker 1>so sweetly. He was like he he just looked like

0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:07.840
<v Speaker 1>the proud partner cheering her on and obsessing over her

0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:09.559
<v Speaker 1>the way we all were. So it was very cute.

0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:15.240
<v Speaker 1>So we agree a plus home run. Incredible, incredible And

0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:16.640
<v Speaker 1>by the way, I got to give a little shout

0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:19.280
<v Speaker 1>out because this was too funny. Several people sent me

0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:23.760
<v Speaker 1>she had that big red poofy coda and several people

0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:25.600
<v Speaker 1>sent it to me because of when you and I

0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:28.280
<v Speaker 1>were trying to put our duvet cover on on Instagram.

0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:31.480
<v Speaker 1>People were like, it looks like someone trying to wrestle

0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:34.079
<v Speaker 1>their duve out of the Dubai cover. So I also

0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:36.040
<v Speaker 1>love the fun memes that come out of the Super Bowl.

0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:38.280
<v Speaker 1>There were other big headlines at the super Bowl. That

0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:42.640
<v Speaker 1>was not the only great performance. Um Chris Stapleton saying

0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:46.200
<v Speaker 1>the national anthem. I thought did a great job. You know,

0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:50.040
<v Speaker 1>he has such a great voice. It just drips of

0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:53.760
<v Speaker 1>whiskey and honey. And she's so effortless he is, and

0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:56.679
<v Speaker 1>so he's saying the national anthem. The over under I

0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:58.840
<v Speaker 1>think was like two minutes two seconds, I did. I

0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:01.240
<v Speaker 1>never got the official time time, so but I think

0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:03.160
<v Speaker 1>it went over. It felt like it went over. But

0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:07.280
<v Speaker 1>what was a real standout during that performance was how

0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:10.360
<v Speaker 1>many people were brought to tears, including the head coach

0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:14.040
<v Speaker 1>of the Philadelphia Eagles, Nick Sirianni, who was bawling. I mean,

0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:16.920
<v Speaker 1>really boo hoo ng. I know I'm usually not. I mean,

0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:20.240
<v Speaker 1>like I said, I'll be honest, I'm half watching half

0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:25.000
<v Speaker 1>pouring wine until the halftime show. And after the halftime show,

0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:26.520
<v Speaker 1>we're at our friend's house, and I turned to Chris

0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:29.600
<v Speaker 1>and said, can we go home now? Um, but I

0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:32.679
<v Speaker 1>was I had my eyes glued to the TV because

0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:35.320
<v Speaker 1>of the emotion Like that is one thing as non

0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:39.640
<v Speaker 1>sports as I might be. The emotion of the Super Bowl.

0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:41.720
<v Speaker 1>The fact that all of these people I do of

0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:44.400
<v Speaker 1>course have incredible respect that they've worked so hard. I mean,

0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:47.200
<v Speaker 1>that's when I was looking at that coach crying. Granted

0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:48.520
<v Speaker 1>you had to tell me that that's the coach. I

0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:50.480
<v Speaker 1>didn't know who it was. But when I'm looking at

0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:54.840
<v Speaker 1>that man, I'm thinking he is crying because of this moment,

0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:59.120
<v Speaker 1>because of the culmination that this is the overwhelming joy

0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:07.280
<v Speaker 1>an emotion at that moment that a lifetime of working, grinding,

0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:12.080
<v Speaker 1>missing birthdays and weddings. I'm sure all the things led

0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:13.839
<v Speaker 1>to that moment, and that was incredible. And one of

0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:16.360
<v Speaker 1>the Kansas City Chiefs players was crying as well. So

0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:20.040
<v Speaker 1>just this moment is so huge to get on that

0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:23.240
<v Speaker 1>stage and to see And by the way, what I

0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:25.600
<v Speaker 1>was thinking is as a player, you're looking over and

0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:29.880
<v Speaker 1>you're like, hey, coach, like pull it together. Man liked

0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:33.920
<v Speaker 1>it well, And I love that we have. Gosh, I'm

0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:36.760
<v Speaker 1>really giving sports some credit today, but I also love

0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:39.120
<v Speaker 1>that things like the super Bowl. I actually love the

0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:41.960
<v Speaker 1>Olympics when it's Olympics time, because we do have so

0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:46.240
<v Speaker 1>few things now as a society that bring people together

0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:49.560
<v Speaker 1>to experience something together. You know, you binge watch your

0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:51.480
<v Speaker 1>shows and like, is your friend on the same episode

0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:53.400
<v Speaker 1>as you were? Even you and I were really into

0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:56.439
<v Speaker 1>a poker face on Peacock right now, But I watched

0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:59.640
<v Speaker 1>ahead of you. I watched. I watched for three episodes

0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:02.760
<v Speaker 1>without um. But like you know, at night like the

0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:06.520
<v Speaker 1>super Bowl, everybody watches together and feels that emotion together

0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:09.920
<v Speaker 1>and it's really connective tissue and we all really need that. Well,

0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:13.200
<v Speaker 1>the whole show started off the Super Bowl with maybe

0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:15.760
<v Speaker 1>one of the more emotional moments to mar Hamlin, who

0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:18.240
<v Speaker 1>was the player that went down several weeks ago and

0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:20.600
<v Speaker 1>had to be revived on the field. I mean, it

0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:24.959
<v Speaker 1>just shook the country. Um, the fact that this guy

0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:27.280
<v Speaker 1>is alive. He's a walking miracle and for all for

0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:30.280
<v Speaker 1>he and all the first responders, the trainers, everybody who

0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:32.000
<v Speaker 1>saved this guy's life. For him to be there at

0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:34.400
<v Speaker 1>the Super Bowl. That's how things kicked off tonight. So

0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:36.800
<v Speaker 1>it was emotional night all the way through. Chris Stapleton

0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:40.520
<v Speaker 1>the national anthem, and then we got to maybe the

0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:44.920
<v Speaker 1>most anticipated thing outside of halftime the commercials, of course,

0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:47.880
<v Speaker 1>which I said I hate. One thing I hate about

0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:51.200
<v Speaker 1>the Super Bowl, like I said, connective tissue, like we

0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:53.959
<v Speaker 1>all experienced something together, is that they release a lot

0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:57.000
<v Speaker 1>of the commercials online beforehand. Now so I purposely avoid

0:11:57.080 --> 0:11:59.480
<v Speaker 1>watching any of them. It used to be like, what

0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:01.400
<v Speaker 1>are the commer? She was going to be? So I

0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:04.680
<v Speaker 1>I didn't watch any of them until tonight. Okay, as

0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:06.760
<v Speaker 1>did I. So we watched them together, and you and

0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:09.760
<v Speaker 1>I were making notes separate from each other, tell me

0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:13.440
<v Speaker 1>tell me your your hit list? Well, okay, so sorry,

0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:14.640
<v Speaker 1>I was going to say, first of all, I was

0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:18.760
<v Speaker 1>overall kind of disappointed. Yeah, there wasn't like a I

0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:20.840
<v Speaker 1>don't know if there's that one that we'll be talking

0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:24.160
<v Speaker 1>about for days or weeks. Are definitely not years to come.

0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:27.480
<v Speaker 1>Like remember that Rihanna super There wasn't a I mean

0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:30.480
<v Speaker 1>remember back in the day though was up and ads

0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:33.280
<v Speaker 1>I think was bud Light, and there wasn't. There was

0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:35.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot of star power. I was watching ads going

0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:38.040
<v Speaker 1>to wow, how many people did they how much money

0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:39.800
<v Speaker 1>did they throw at this ad? Of all these people?

0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:43.400
<v Speaker 1>But there weren't a lot of ads where I laughed

0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:46.319
<v Speaker 1>out loud or I felt, you know, yeah, like we'll

0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:48.960
<v Speaker 1>we'll all be this is going to create a cultural moment.

0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:52.000
<v Speaker 1>There's there's nothing I want to go google right now,

0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:55.520
<v Speaker 1>right but we did have a few wels, so my hits. Okay,

0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:58.120
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you right off the bat. Ben Affleck in

0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:01.040
<v Speaker 1>the Duncan commercial, that's where this star power made sense.

0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:05.280
<v Speaker 1>I actually felt fulfilled. I felt like as if some

0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:08.960
<v Speaker 1>tension had released because we have spent years looking at

0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:12.760
<v Speaker 1>photos of Ben Affleck getting snapped by the paparazzi picking

0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:15.080
<v Speaker 1>up his dunkin Donuts, which he usually and you can't

0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:16.760
<v Speaker 1>blame him. It's probably not easy for the guy to

0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:19.040
<v Speaker 1>walk into a Duncan, but he usually gets the dunkin

0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:22.520
<v Speaker 1>Donuts like postmated to his house and he's got like

0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:26.000
<v Speaker 1>four big iced coffees or whatever his order is. And

0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:28.599
<v Speaker 1>to see him in the Duncan commercial, I love the

0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:30.480
<v Speaker 1>way they did at him in the drive through with people.

0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:33.560
<v Speaker 1>And then we know pictures have come out of him

0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:35.040
<v Speaker 1>filming this, so we knew he was doing it, but

0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:37.400
<v Speaker 1>it was a little reveal at the end that Jennifer

0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:39.880
<v Speaker 1>Lopez popped in and I loved it. It It was so funny. Well,

0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:42.520
<v Speaker 1>and it kind of is a throwback to a week

0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:45.439
<v Speaker 1>ago with the Grammys, well, when j Lo and Ben

0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:49.600
<v Speaker 1>Affleck made news for not really having a great moment

0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:52.520
<v Speaker 1>on camera. I felt again another sense of fulfillment. I

0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:54.040
<v Speaker 1>liked that we had a little fun with Ben and

0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:56.640
<v Speaker 1>Jen after a week ago at the Grammys where Ben

0:13:56.679 --> 0:14:00.199
<v Speaker 1>became a meme for his sad Ben face. Looking are

0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:02.160
<v Speaker 1>both the Grammys and you know what, let's talk about

0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:04.280
<v Speaker 1>that because we didn't discuss it last week, and you

0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:07.400
<v Speaker 1>and I did. We got into that from that relationship

0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:10.240
<v Speaker 1>aspect a little bit because I think we were watching

0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:14.800
<v Speaker 1>them going, like my reaction was bent. I think whoever

0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:17.800
<v Speaker 1>you are, wherever you are, if you're at an event

0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:20.280
<v Speaker 1>with your partner, even if you're in a bad mood,

0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:23.080
<v Speaker 1>you gotta put a good face up, especially your front

0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:25.840
<v Speaker 1>and center. I mean they were front and center, sitting

0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:28.280
<v Speaker 1>with the rock and right Trevor No, the host, was

0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:30.560
<v Speaker 1>stating next to him at one point. But and that

0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:33.440
<v Speaker 1>was when the camera's kind of got caught showing j

0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:37.600
<v Speaker 1>Lo maybe um scolding him a little bit, but like, okay,

0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:40.640
<v Speaker 1>this is it's a very possible, real situation. Actually, you

0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:42.840
<v Speaker 1>and I have had this moment before. I remember one

0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:44.720
<v Speaker 1>time we got in an argument before we were going

0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:50.120
<v Speaker 1>into somebody's book signing party, and I'm like, I actually

0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:52.520
<v Speaker 1>stayed in the car for a minute after, and then

0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:54.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, Okay, I gotta put on a good face

0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:57.960
<v Speaker 1>and go in there because you can't. All it does

0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:00.760
<v Speaker 1>is make other people question your really and ship thinks

0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:03.400
<v Speaker 1>something might even be bigger wrong than it is. You

0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:05.120
<v Speaker 1>got to just put on a good face, and I think,

0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:07.080
<v Speaker 1>deal with it later. We're gonna be fine in an hour,

0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:09.720
<v Speaker 1>but now you're gonna be dealing with this because that

0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:13.240
<v Speaker 1>look and that if it spills over and so you look.

0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:15.840
<v Speaker 1>I also give Ben a little bit of a break here.

0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Those things are a grind. It wasn't his award show.

0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:20.880
<v Speaker 1>I know he was there supporting j Lo, which is cool.

0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:24.760
<v Speaker 1>But I gotta tell you guys, if, yes, if you're

0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:26.120
<v Speaker 1>ever in l A and it's like, do you want

0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:28.400
<v Speaker 1>to go to a taping of this or whatever? Well,

0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:30.360
<v Speaker 1>first of all, yes, the Grammys are alive, but it's

0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:32.360
<v Speaker 1>so many hours. But if you're ever going to do

0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:34.560
<v Speaker 1>a taping, at least do a live taping of something

0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:37.440
<v Speaker 1>because tapings are so much longer than you think they're

0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:40.280
<v Speaker 1>going to be. And they're so arduous. I mean when

0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:43.520
<v Speaker 1>I used to cover bachelor tapings, like the tapings of

0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:46.600
<v Speaker 1>the Tewells, and they're like nine ten hours. Yeah they

0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:49.400
<v Speaker 1>they yeah, they take all day, all day. I felt

0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:52.560
<v Speaker 1>so bad for the audience because after our twelve you're

0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:55.120
<v Speaker 1>just everybody spent. I would bring snacks. I would bring

0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:57.160
<v Speaker 1>advil because all the screaming would give me a headache.

0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:59.200
<v Speaker 1>I would literally pass out. Advult to the other reporters,

0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:01.840
<v Speaker 1>especially the new bees who didn't know how headache it

0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:03.200
<v Speaker 1>was going to get. Some of us were in a

0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:07.400
<v Speaker 1>freezing cold warehouse. We'd bring blankets like it was. It

0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:09.400
<v Speaker 1>was a commitment. So Duncan, by the way, that was

0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:12.760
<v Speaker 1>the first in game commercial, so that was a huge spot.

0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:15.680
<v Speaker 1>There was a couple of commercials, the movie commercials that

0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:17.160
<v Speaker 1>were after the coin flip and all that, but the

0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:20.360
<v Speaker 1>first in game commercial was that j lobinf Fleck commercial.

0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:23.120
<v Speaker 1>That's a big spot. That was huge money that Duncan

0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:25.400
<v Speaker 1>spent to get that. Well, I thought it was worth it,

0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah I did too. That was it was memorable. It

0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:30.720
<v Speaker 1>was good. It hit the mark. Any were there any

0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:32.960
<v Speaker 1>other commercials that really stood out to you. I did

0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:35.520
<v Speaker 1>like them. I think I have to say I don't

0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:37.200
<v Speaker 1>know how well a commercial works because I don't really

0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:40.720
<v Speaker 1>know what it is. But Uber one with Diddy and

0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:43.360
<v Speaker 1>UM it was like a revolving door of him bringing

0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:46.480
<v Speaker 1>in old viral songs to maybe make a new a

0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:49.640
<v Speaker 1>new song, and I think they ended up with UM

0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:53.640
<v Speaker 1>had away. Maybe what is love spoofing? Matt? I thought

0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:56.080
<v Speaker 1>Diddy was really funny. His comedic timing is always good.

0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:58.200
<v Speaker 1>It was a pretty good actor, a little bit of

0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:00.400
<v Speaker 1>that and what in the uh what and get him

0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:03.680
<v Speaker 1>to the Greek he was He's pretty good. Like you know,

0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:05.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how much range he has, but like

0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:10.359
<v Speaker 1>he hits. I thought it was funny. And then I

0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:12.920
<v Speaker 1>don't know if it was a highlight, but the You

0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:17.240
<v Speaker 1>two commercial really yes, I mean, first of all, I

0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:22.680
<v Speaker 1>am a huge YouTube fan, the biggest. But do they

0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:25.959
<v Speaker 1>know we were watching it going because first you're seeing

0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:30.159
<v Speaker 1>the balloons and it looked like a big balloon and

0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:32.960
<v Speaker 1>Chris turned to me and you you joked like, oh well,

0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:35.439
<v Speaker 1>aliens are coming here. It is All week we've been

0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:39.280
<v Speaker 1>dealing about shooting down either Chinese spy balloons or these

0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:42.760
<v Speaker 1>UFOs across the country. Now I think we've shot down

0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:47.679
<v Speaker 1>four of them. And then YouTube comes out with a

0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:53.440
<v Speaker 1>balloon slash UFO type apparatus in the ad for their

0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:57.720
<v Speaker 1>residency in was this whole thing kind of like remember

0:17:57.720 --> 0:18:00.000
<v Speaker 1>when the Red album came out when they it automatically

0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:03.840
<v Speaker 1>just dropped on everybody's iTunes. Yeah, rather infamously. People weren't

0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:06.920
<v Speaker 1>happy about that. Is this the same thing this? Did

0:18:06.960 --> 0:18:10.520
<v Speaker 1>you two accidentally do this again? Where they're releasing promotional

0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:13.399
<v Speaker 1>balloons and they're like, oh crap, We're just we're getting

0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:16.320
<v Speaker 1>to the super Bowl ad? This is we feel So

0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:20.280
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden's been shooting down our advertisement balloons. How does

0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:23.520
<v Speaker 1>Bonno know? Um? Yeah, that commercial was just that was

0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:26.000
<v Speaker 1>interesting timing and it was a little weird and I

0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:28.000
<v Speaker 1>didn't totally get it. But I will try to get

0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:30.600
<v Speaker 1>you you two residency tickets. I will be going to Vegas.

0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:33.359
<v Speaker 1>I will be going to the You two residency. But

0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:38.600
<v Speaker 1>if anybody would know, it would be all right, Well,

0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:40.320
<v Speaker 1>what were your hits today? Did we have the same

0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:42.520
<v Speaker 1>And I would just say there were a couple more.

0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:46.240
<v Speaker 1>It was cool to see some of the movies coming

0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:49.040
<v Speaker 1>out because I I we love movies, and it's good

0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:51.439
<v Speaker 1>to see there are real movies coming out. I'm so

0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:53.760
<v Speaker 1>glad you said that. I wanted to add I was

0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:58.000
<v Speaker 1>just so happy to see big trailers for big movies.

0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:00.720
<v Speaker 1>The new Indiana Jones movie, Um, the new Fast and

0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Furious movie. To see those the bit affleck Matt Damon,

0:19:04.800 --> 0:19:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Nike air, Jordan's Yes, that movie looks so good. Take

0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:11.160
<v Speaker 1>all my money. Now it's I will go. I'm gonna

0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:14.280
<v Speaker 1>go see that ten times. I promise you that looks spectacular.

0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:16.320
<v Speaker 1>I just want movies to be back in theaters. You

0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:18.320
<v Speaker 1>and I say all the time. I mean, this is

0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:21.520
<v Speaker 1>a pre pandemic. But you know, in our own relationship,

0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:23.040
<v Speaker 1>we used to love going to the movies together. And

0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:24.720
<v Speaker 1>this is going to the movies on the weekend, and

0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:27.800
<v Speaker 1>it was there was some big movie stars. By the way,

0:19:27.800 --> 0:19:30.080
<v Speaker 1>I got to go back to the Nike one because

0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:32.320
<v Speaker 1>what we should have mentioned two is j Lo did

0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:35.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of kill it when that Nike movie trailer dropped.

0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:38.120
<v Speaker 1>She posted on her Instagram making some kind of joke

0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:40.080
<v Speaker 1>because Ben also makes a face in the commercial, and

0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:42.199
<v Speaker 1>she made a joke about that. So then pardon me

0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:45.679
<v Speaker 1>was wondering, is Jennifer Lopez so pr brilliant that she

0:19:46.440 --> 0:19:49.880
<v Speaker 1>that they made the moment for the trailer. It wouldn't

0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:53.879
<v Speaker 1>shock me at all. I mean I would commence. Yes.

0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:56.960
<v Speaker 1>Will Ferrell's commercial was good. You can never go wrong

0:19:57.000 --> 0:19:59.960
<v Speaker 1>with the talking babies at the trade, and they were

0:20:01.160 --> 0:20:04.879
<v Speaker 1>the fake kind of roast of Mr Peanut. Who is it?

0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:08.320
<v Speaker 1>But again, none of them, like you said, the Pepsi commercials,

0:20:08.960 --> 0:20:10.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure they hit the mark. That one with

0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:13.320
<v Speaker 1>Ben Stiller. They well, the whole thing is is this

0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:16.080
<v Speaker 1>person acting about whether our products good? I love seeing

0:20:16.160 --> 0:20:19.359
<v Speaker 1>zoo Lander almost it wasn't quite brought back enough. And

0:20:19.400 --> 0:20:22.080
<v Speaker 1>then Steve Martin's genius. I'll watch him read the phone book.

0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:25.640
<v Speaker 1>But but in the end of You're Wondering, they're they're

0:20:25.640 --> 0:20:27.960
<v Speaker 1>asking you was this person acting or not about whether

0:20:27.960 --> 0:20:29.359
<v Speaker 1>they like I don't know about the product. I mean,

0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:32.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know who drinks pepsi, But yeah, it was

0:20:32.119 --> 0:20:34.720
<v Speaker 1>just none of none of them are going to be

0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:37.399
<v Speaker 1>memorable home runs that we're going to talk about for

0:20:37.440 --> 0:20:39.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, there's no Apple commercial from back in the day.

0:20:40.200 --> 0:20:42.399
<v Speaker 1>There's none of the big ones that I think are

0:20:42.440 --> 0:20:44.920
<v Speaker 1>going to move the needle, and it's so hard these days,

0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:48.440
<v Speaker 1>it is so hard to do that. You're so right,

0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Who does drink pepsi? I'm trying. I'm trying to rack

0:20:50.840 --> 0:20:53.040
<v Speaker 1>my brain if I know anyone who drinks pepsi. We're

0:20:53.040 --> 0:20:54.800
<v Speaker 1>not going to be getting pepsi out of this podcast.

0:20:56.040 --> 0:20:57.359
<v Speaker 1>What we are going to do, though, is take a

0:20:57.400 --> 0:21:01.600
<v Speaker 1>quick break. So congratulations to the Kansas City Ves World Champions,

0:21:01.680 --> 0:21:05.159
<v Speaker 1>super Bowl Champs as they will celebrate and um in

0:21:05.280 --> 0:21:10.120
<v Speaker 1>congratulations to Rihanna and more importantly, congratulations to Rihanna for

0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:13.640
<v Speaker 1>not only performance but expecting baby number two. What we're

0:21:13.640 --> 0:21:15.399
<v Speaker 1>gonna do, We're gonna take quick break because when we

0:21:15.440 --> 0:21:18.040
<v Speaker 1>come back, we're gonna open the phone lines. That's right,

0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:20.200

<v Speaker 1>to you. We're gonna do that right after this. Welcome

0:21:33.800 --> 0:21:37.040
<v Speaker 1>back to the most dramatic podcast ever. Chris Harrison, Lauren

0:21:37.160 --> 0:21:39.640
<v Speaker 1>Zema with you here in Austin, Texas, and we are

0:21:40.200 --> 0:21:43.160
<v Speaker 1>all about taking your calls today, your comments, your questions.

0:21:43.560 --> 0:21:46.560
<v Speaker 1>The phone lines are open and our first call coming

0:21:46.600 --> 0:21:51.960
<v Speaker 1>in from Wisconsin. Heather, how are you doing tonight? Hi?

0:21:53.320 --> 0:21:58.200
<v Speaker 1>How are you doing great? We're in Wisconsin. UM, outside

0:21:58.280 --> 0:22:00.959
<v Speaker 1>of Milwaukee suburbs of Milwaukee. Got a great town. By

0:22:00.960 --> 0:22:03.400
<v Speaker 1>the way, Milwaukee, did you ever take the show there?

0:22:04.560 --> 0:22:08.240
<v Speaker 1>It's underrated. We did go because it was it. Nick

0:22:08.280 --> 0:22:12.480
<v Speaker 1>file right, he's Milwaukee guy and uh and I also

0:22:12.560 --> 0:22:14.480
<v Speaker 1>back in the day, I was in c double a

0:22:15.800 --> 0:22:21.000
<v Speaker 1>tournament spot for the University of Oklahomwarming basketball and we

0:22:21.000 --> 0:22:24.199
<v Speaker 1>were in Milwaukee. Anyway, Heather, we digress. This is about you.

0:22:24.240 --> 0:22:29.679
<v Speaker 1>What's your question? That's okay? UM, My question was I

0:22:29.720 --> 0:22:33.800
<v Speaker 1>was wondering if you had any thoughts or comments or

0:22:34.040 --> 0:22:39.080
<v Speaker 1>suggestions based on your years on the franchise of The Bachelor,

0:22:39.600 --> 0:22:43.159
<v Speaker 1>if there's any changes that could be done, either small

0:22:43.359 --> 0:22:49.280
<v Speaker 1>or big, that could potentially result in more relationships lasting

0:22:49.480 --> 0:22:53.080
<v Speaker 1>or even if it's not forever, that they last for

0:22:53.160 --> 0:22:59.119
<v Speaker 1>a more significant a more significant relationship. Um, you know,

0:22:59.200 --> 0:23:02.800
<v Speaker 1>the last few seasons, you know, the last I think

0:23:02.840 --> 0:23:07.480
<v Speaker 1>at least three bachelorettes and a couple of bachelor's, um,

0:23:07.520 --> 0:23:11.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, haven't had very good success rates, whereas if

0:23:11.600 --> 0:23:14.159
<v Speaker 1>you look at Bachelor in Paradise, you do have a

0:23:14.200 --> 0:23:17.479
<v Speaker 1>lot more relationships that come out as that. Obviously it's

0:23:17.520 --> 0:23:21.840
<v Speaker 1>a different format, but thinking about the traditional show, if

0:23:21.880 --> 0:23:25.400
<v Speaker 1>you had any thoughts like, perhaps not you know, obviously

0:23:25.400 --> 0:23:29.320
<v Speaker 1>it makes great television to have really over the top dates,

0:23:29.640 --> 0:23:33.840
<v Speaker 1>but it's also not like real life, so perhaps dates

0:23:33.880 --> 0:23:36.240
<v Speaker 1>that are a little bit more normal, or spending time

0:23:36.240 --> 0:23:39.520
<v Speaker 1>with each other's friends more when you get to the end,

0:23:40.160 --> 0:23:42.320
<v Speaker 1>UM just kind of was wondering your thoughts because it

0:23:42.400 --> 0:23:44.680
<v Speaker 1>just kind of feels like, you know, not a lot

0:23:44.760 --> 0:23:49.119
<v Speaker 1>of relationships have actually lasted too long. I mean not

0:23:49.200 --> 0:23:51.240
<v Speaker 1>everyone falls in love in a hot air balloon or

0:23:51.320 --> 0:23:55.320
<v Speaker 1>naked on a beach. And uh, you know that's funny.

0:23:55.359 --> 0:23:58.480
<v Speaker 1>I heard that all throughout my years of hosting the

0:23:58.520 --> 0:24:01.800
<v Speaker 1>show of people like come, this isn't unrealistic, And I said,

0:24:01.880 --> 0:24:06.440
<v Speaker 1>you know what's not fun is seeing our normal lives,

0:24:06.560 --> 0:24:08.919
<v Speaker 1>Like you're right, l Z and I were not jetting

0:24:08.920 --> 0:24:11.040
<v Speaker 1>off every day. That's not our everyday date. We go

0:24:11.119 --> 0:24:13.919
<v Speaker 1>to movies, we go to dinners. Um. But obviously that

0:24:13.960 --> 0:24:16.760
<v Speaker 1>doesn't make for great soap opera TV. And this is entertainment.

0:24:16.840 --> 0:24:20.280
<v Speaker 1>It's escapism. It's as much about taking you away from

0:24:20.320 --> 0:24:23.160
<v Speaker 1>that life as it is trying to represent it. But

0:24:23.480 --> 0:24:26.400
<v Speaker 1>that was always an issue for us, Heather all along,

0:24:26.520 --> 0:24:30.919
<v Speaker 1>and it was from day one. We probably didn't do

0:24:30.960 --> 0:24:34.240
<v Speaker 1>a great job of facilitating those relationships, and then we

0:24:34.280 --> 0:24:37.919
<v Speaker 1>realized how we could better facilitate and we did a

0:24:37.960 --> 0:24:42.640
<v Speaker 1>decent job along the way. Um, but the show. One

0:24:42.680 --> 0:24:44.080
<v Speaker 1>of the things I loved about it. It It was never

0:24:44.119 --> 0:24:47.720
<v Speaker 1>predicated on the fact that it worked. It is wonderful

0:24:47.760 --> 0:24:49.600
<v Speaker 1>when you get lightning in a bottle and you see

0:24:49.600 --> 0:24:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Tristan Ryan or Seauan and Catherine and you have those moments.

0:24:53.040 --> 0:24:55.280
<v Speaker 1>But the great thing about the show is it's so

0:24:55.400 --> 0:24:58.640
<v Speaker 1>relatable because I don't know if you're married or dating

0:24:58.720 --> 0:25:02.280
<v Speaker 1>or what have you, but um, it's relatable in that

0:25:02.640 --> 0:25:05.360
<v Speaker 1>we all go through breakups. We all make those mistakes

0:25:05.359 --> 0:25:07.919
<v Speaker 1>on night one, even if you're into heati or you know,

0:25:07.960 --> 0:25:11.280
<v Speaker 1>it's on a grander scale, what's happening there is real,

0:25:11.720 --> 0:25:15.160
<v Speaker 1>and that's what I thought was always so relatable. I also,

0:25:15.240 --> 0:25:17.480
<v Speaker 1>you know who always gives good advice about this is

0:25:17.520 --> 0:25:25.920
<v Speaker 1>Shan Low, the the one bachelor who is with the person. Yeah,

0:25:26.480 --> 0:25:28.399
<v Speaker 1>but I mean, how the you're so right right, because

0:25:28.560 --> 0:25:30.960
<v Speaker 1>you've got to meet people's friends, you have to integrate

0:25:31.040 --> 0:25:34.240
<v Speaker 1>yourselves into their real lives. And every time I interviewed

0:25:34.280 --> 0:25:36.760
<v Speaker 1>Sean and Catherine, you know the sometimes this would come up,

0:25:36.800 --> 0:25:39.760
<v Speaker 1>and Sean would always say and Catherine would always say,

0:25:40.160 --> 0:25:43.840
<v Speaker 1>we started living in normal life after the show. Like

0:25:43.880 --> 0:25:45.600
<v Speaker 1>I think Sean did Dancing with the Stars and they

0:25:45.600 --> 0:25:47.320
<v Speaker 1>talked about how that was kind of hard, but they

0:25:47.320 --> 0:25:50.120
<v Speaker 1>said they made sure to be together, that they were

0:25:50.160 --> 0:25:52.600
<v Speaker 1>together as much as they could be, because you know,

0:25:52.640 --> 0:25:55.520
<v Speaker 1>also right after the show they're pressed things and and

0:25:55.760 --> 0:25:57.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, then as you're watching the show, all this

0:25:57.800 --> 0:26:00.120
<v Speaker 1>other stuff's coming out. I think a lot of from

0:26:00.119 --> 0:26:01.960
<v Speaker 1>what I remember when I interviewed people, a lot of

0:26:01.960 --> 0:26:04.560
<v Speaker 1>the couples would say they struggled with rewatching the show.

0:26:05.040 --> 0:26:07.360
<v Speaker 1>I think it's so important after the show for them

0:26:07.400 --> 0:26:10.560
<v Speaker 1>to spend time together and to try to live a

0:26:10.560 --> 0:26:13.639
<v Speaker 1>normal life together. And that's really a telltale marker. And

0:26:13.640 --> 0:26:15.800
<v Speaker 1>that's a good point because you know, Tristan Ryan went

0:26:15.840 --> 0:26:18.440
<v Speaker 1>back to vail Um, you know, I know Molly and

0:26:18.520 --> 0:26:20.640
<v Speaker 1>Jason there was the big switch, but they actually came

0:26:20.680 --> 0:26:22.520
<v Speaker 1>from the show as well, but they went off to

0:26:22.560 --> 0:26:26.040
<v Speaker 1>Seattle to live their life. Jaden Tanner, I know that's paradise,

0:26:26.080 --> 0:26:28.919
<v Speaker 1>but again they went to live their life in southern California.

0:26:29.080 --> 0:26:32.240
<v Speaker 1>And so Elz brings up a good point. Those that

0:26:32.400 --> 0:26:35.919
<v Speaker 1>can not remove yourself. I don't think that's ever a

0:26:35.960 --> 0:26:38.439
<v Speaker 1>fair thing to say, oh, we're done with the show. Um,

0:26:38.480 --> 0:26:41.359
<v Speaker 1>although god, I feel bad they keep just pulling poor

0:26:41.400 --> 0:26:44.080
<v Speaker 1>Shawn Low out of the closet and making him be

0:26:44.160 --> 0:26:46.360
<v Speaker 1>on every season. It's like, you're all we got, man,

0:26:46.400 --> 0:26:48.639
<v Speaker 1>You're the only thing that you have left on this show.

0:26:48.800 --> 0:26:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Please come back. Um. So, but there are other couples,

0:26:52.960 --> 0:26:57.080
<v Speaker 1>and I agree with l Z. In life and in television,

0:26:57.440 --> 0:27:01.160
<v Speaker 1>it's important to go back to normal as much as

0:27:01.200 --> 0:27:06.399
<v Speaker 1>you can and try not to live this y know

0:27:06.520 --> 0:27:08.880
<v Speaker 1>each other that well when you come off the show,

0:27:09.040 --> 0:27:11.240
<v Speaker 1>you still have a lot to learn. I mean, Arian

0:27:11.359 --> 0:27:15.639
<v Speaker 1>Lauren too, even though their season was a little obviously

0:27:15.880 --> 0:27:23.000
<v Speaker 1>crazy at the end and yeah, yeah exactly. But it's

0:27:23.000 --> 0:27:25.159
<v Speaker 1>just interesting because I think it is what makes the

0:27:25.200 --> 0:27:28.560
<v Speaker 1>show so fun to watch are especially now that the

0:27:28.560 --> 0:27:32.359
<v Speaker 1>show is back to traveling. Um makes it wonderful to watch.

0:27:32.440 --> 0:27:35.359
<v Speaker 1>But then you also get like, you know, invested in

0:27:35.359 --> 0:27:38.520
<v Speaker 1>these relationships a little bit and rooting for them, and

0:27:38.520 --> 0:27:40.520
<v Speaker 1>then it's you know, kind of sad when you know

0:27:40.600 --> 0:27:43.479
<v Speaker 1>when it doesn't work out. But it's also fun as

0:27:43.520 --> 0:27:46.399
<v Speaker 1>a viewer of course to watch it not be like

0:27:46.480 --> 0:27:49.239
<v Speaker 1>you said not, it's not as exciting if it's just

0:27:50.000 --> 0:27:53.880
<v Speaker 1>totally normal life. However, you look at shows like Love

0:27:53.960 --> 0:27:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Is Blind and Like and it's very popular, but that's

0:27:58.680 --> 0:28:01.399
<v Speaker 1>very boring if you think about it. They're just sitting

0:28:01.440 --> 0:28:05.080
<v Speaker 1>in these times talking to each other and there's not

0:28:05.320 --> 0:28:11.600
<v Speaker 1>these fantasy days. However, it's a Heather tearing the Heather.

0:28:11.680 --> 0:28:15.080
<v Speaker 1>I think you're ready to produce TV exactly. There's network

0:28:15.119 --> 0:28:18.520
<v Speaker 1>executives going, oh my gosh, this is killing us. Um,

0:28:18.560 --> 0:28:22.280
<v Speaker 1>you're right, it's it's Look, all the different formats are interesting.

0:28:22.320 --> 0:28:25.199
<v Speaker 1>I find it compelling. I try to watch, um, a

0:28:25.240 --> 0:28:26.800
<v Speaker 1>little bit of each of them, just to see what

0:28:26.840 --> 0:28:31.119
<v Speaker 1>everybody's doing. There's you know, there's obviously the Bachelor Bachelrette version.

0:28:31.119 --> 0:28:35.080
<v Speaker 1>Then there's so many twists and concepts out there. Um.

0:28:35.080 --> 0:28:38.160
<v Speaker 1>But Heather, I appreciate you, uh listening to the most

0:28:38.200 --> 0:28:40.440
<v Speaker 1>dramatic podcast ever. I hope you've enjoyed that. I hope

0:28:40.440 --> 0:28:46.160
<v Speaker 1>you find this genuine and very normal. Absolutely now, it's

0:28:46.200 --> 0:28:52.520
<v Speaker 1>been great. Thanks and Lauren to you. Take care. Heather

0:28:52.560 --> 0:28:56.240
<v Speaker 1>from Wisconsin. We're gonna head just a little north of Wisconsin,

0:28:56.480 --> 0:28:59.280
<v Speaker 1>and I want to give a quick shout out because

0:28:59.440 --> 0:29:03.320
<v Speaker 1>of all all the fans. When we went to Canada,

0:29:03.520 --> 0:29:07.720
<v Speaker 1>it was absolutely massive up there. And we're going to Toronto.

0:29:08.440 --> 0:29:11.280
<v Speaker 1>Tommy is joining us on the line. Hey Tommy, how's

0:29:11.280 --> 0:29:14.920
<v Speaker 1>it going? Chris Harris and how are you, buddy? I'm

0:29:14.960 --> 0:29:16.520
<v Speaker 1>good man. I was just giving a shout out to

0:29:16.600 --> 0:29:19.840
<v Speaker 1>all the Canadians. And I'm telling from the East coast

0:29:19.880 --> 0:29:23.120
<v Speaker 1>and West coast, from Toronto all the way over to Whistler, Vancouver.

0:29:23.320 --> 0:29:26.840
<v Speaker 1>You guys were Calgary in between. Were so great to us.

0:29:26.960 --> 0:29:30.240
<v Speaker 1>We're just such huge support. You know what it's it's

0:29:30.720 --> 0:29:34.040
<v Speaker 1>it's the feeling is mutual. Um. You know, I found

0:29:34.120 --> 0:29:36.280
<v Speaker 1>that I didn't watch it on the original network. I

0:29:36.280 --> 0:29:38.360
<v Speaker 1>always watched it through ABC, so I never really knew

0:29:38.360 --> 0:29:40.560
<v Speaker 1>how Canada watched it, but I watched it through the

0:29:40.560 --> 0:29:44.920
<v Speaker 1>American lens instead. Um. And I know that every every

0:29:44.960 --> 0:29:47.240
<v Speaker 1>single person they like, they like to edit up there

0:29:47.240 --> 0:29:52.280
<v Speaker 1>in Canada guidelines and stuff. Um. But you know I

0:29:52.280 --> 0:29:54.600
<v Speaker 1>I dude, and and Lauren Hello, nice to meet you

0:29:54.640 --> 0:29:58.080
<v Speaker 1>as well too. Um. I met you and Alberto when

0:29:58.120 --> 0:30:01.760
<v Speaker 1>you co hosted with Kelly. But oh my god, so

0:30:01.840 --> 0:30:05.959
<v Speaker 1>many many many many many years ago. Yes in banf

0:30:06.000 --> 0:30:08.479
<v Speaker 1>at Banff, Yes, at the at the hotel, they're at

0:30:08.480 --> 0:30:14.000
<v Speaker 1>the conference center, very nice and it was it was

0:30:14.000 --> 0:30:15.640
<v Speaker 1>one of those experienced Chris is where I have to

0:30:15.680 --> 0:30:17.640
<v Speaker 1>point out that this is what made me really mad

0:30:17.680 --> 0:30:20.000
<v Speaker 1>about the media, about the spin about the tabloids, is

0:30:20.040 --> 0:30:24.680
<v Speaker 1>what happened to you. I found, Um, even though you

0:30:24.760 --> 0:30:27.200
<v Speaker 1>are a professional, you also are human being and I

0:30:27.240 --> 0:30:29.480
<v Speaker 1>felt that when I met you, I thought, Oh, don't

0:30:29.520 --> 0:30:31.440
<v Speaker 1>meet the people you like. It's one of those scary

0:30:31.480 --> 0:30:33.720
<v Speaker 1>things you do in life where you meet the people

0:30:33.720 --> 0:30:37.200
<v Speaker 1>on TV and they could be absolute, um terrible people.

0:30:37.280 --> 0:30:39.320
<v Speaker 1>And when I met you, you were touch a nice guy.

0:30:39.440 --> 0:30:41.560
<v Speaker 1>You you were you were actually talkative. You gave me

0:30:41.600 --> 0:30:43.680
<v Speaker 1>a minute of your time, and it was just you

0:30:43.680 --> 0:30:45.320
<v Speaker 1>guys were taping a lot, and you guys were doing

0:30:45.400 --> 0:30:48.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot, and you just were very genuine, very nice

0:30:48.160 --> 0:30:51.400
<v Speaker 1>and very humble. And I was wondering during the experience

0:30:51.440 --> 0:30:53.640
<v Speaker 1>of what you went through, what you went through as

0:30:53.720 --> 0:30:56.520
<v Speaker 1>Chris Harrison and Lauren yourself as well too. I know

0:30:56.600 --> 0:30:59.320
<v Speaker 1>you struggled through it as well, Um, how did you

0:30:59.360 --> 0:31:02.200
<v Speaker 1>get through that? Mental health wise? Everybody is talking about

0:31:02.240 --> 0:31:04.720
<v Speaker 1>mental health right now. It's really important that we talked

0:31:04.720 --> 0:31:07.640
<v Speaker 1>about it and keep that discussion going, because I think

0:31:07.640 --> 0:31:10.400
<v Speaker 1>the more people that talk about, including high profiles people

0:31:10.480 --> 0:31:13.560
<v Speaker 1>like you UM talk about what they felt and how

0:31:13.560 --> 0:31:15.760
<v Speaker 1>and their feelings and if they had anxiety, or if

0:31:15.760 --> 0:31:18.480
<v Speaker 1>they had this or that or obviously you're doing this

0:31:18.640 --> 0:31:20.360
<v Speaker 1>right now, which I'm so proud of you for doing

0:31:20.400 --> 0:31:23.320
<v Speaker 1>because I find that you're talking your truth, UM, and

0:31:23.800 --> 0:31:25.760
<v Speaker 1>I think that's amazing. You shouldn't be shut off, you

0:31:25.760 --> 0:31:28.520
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't be canceled, you shouldn't be anything. You're You're more

0:31:28.560 --> 0:31:32.959
<v Speaker 1>than just anything. You're You're Chris Harrison, You're don Chris Harrison.

0:31:34.240 --> 0:31:36.200
<v Speaker 1>I felt for you a lot to those moments because

0:31:36.200 --> 0:31:38.760
<v Speaker 1>I thought you were very genuine and when g m

0:31:38.800 --> 0:31:41.680
<v Speaker 1>A and all them slammed you, I just I just wondered,

0:31:41.840 --> 0:31:43.800
<v Speaker 1>how did you get through all that? How was how

0:31:44.040 --> 0:31:46.320
<v Speaker 1>was that? Did you did you use yoga? Did you

0:31:46.920 --> 0:31:50.640
<v Speaker 1>um use meditation? Obviously you had your family's support, UM,

0:31:50.680 --> 0:31:52.760
<v Speaker 1>but can you can you expand on that a little bit? Yeah? Well,

0:31:52.800 --> 0:31:54.920
<v Speaker 1>first of all, thanks for for the kind words, Tommy.

0:31:55.000 --> 0:31:57.840
<v Speaker 1>I truly appreciate it, and I vividly remember that was

0:31:57.880 --> 0:32:01.040
<v Speaker 1>the first time I ever got to host Live with Kelly.

0:32:01.080 --> 0:32:03.040
<v Speaker 1>At the time, they were looking for the new host

0:32:03.120 --> 0:32:04.760
<v Speaker 1>and so I had flown out too. I think it

0:32:04.800 --> 0:32:06.960
<v Speaker 1>was somewhere in vamp and when we shot that, it

0:32:07.120 --> 0:32:10.600
<v Speaker 1>was awesome. It was a great experience. And I'm glad

0:32:10.640 --> 0:32:12.960
<v Speaker 1>you mentioned mental health. It's something that's very important to

0:32:13.040 --> 0:32:16.280
<v Speaker 1>Lauren and I. We are huge backers of the Grant

0:32:16.320 --> 0:32:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Haliburton Foundation, which is a teen suicide prevention UM big

0:32:21.080 --> 0:32:24.520
<v Speaker 1>charity and organization in Dallas. We support and hosted the

0:32:24.680 --> 0:32:29.080
<v Speaker 1>AIM Gala up in Monterey Peninsula, which is also suicide

0:32:29.080 --> 0:32:31.400
<v Speaker 1>prevention mental health, but it's also kind of coming at

0:32:31.400 --> 0:32:33.840
<v Speaker 1>it from a little bit of a different medical perspective,

0:32:34.080 --> 0:32:37.920
<v Speaker 1>but those were were huge and believe in mental health

0:32:37.960 --> 0:32:41.320
<v Speaker 1>and talking about it, not shying away from it. Suicide

0:32:41.400 --> 0:32:45.120
<v Speaker 1>is such a huge issue in our country and Canada

0:32:45.160 --> 0:32:48.640
<v Speaker 1>as well. Sorry, I don't mean to uh negate Canada

0:32:48.680 --> 0:32:51.320
<v Speaker 1>there because that's where this call is coming from. But um,

0:32:51.320 --> 0:32:53.920
<v Speaker 1>that's huge for us, and so I appreciate the question. Yeah,

0:32:53.960 --> 0:32:59.200
<v Speaker 1>but we I felt like as far as my mental health,

0:32:59.240 --> 0:33:00.840
<v Speaker 1>and there were there were good days and bad days,

0:33:00.840 --> 0:33:04.160
<v Speaker 1>and we definitely had our low points. UM, but just

0:33:04.280 --> 0:33:09.920
<v Speaker 1>having that background and that foundation of my friends, my family,

0:33:10.160 --> 0:33:13.920
<v Speaker 1>knowing where my worth is, my faith not to talk

0:33:13.960 --> 0:33:16.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot about religion, but it's important to me. And

0:33:16.720 --> 0:33:20.240
<v Speaker 1>that's what I knew was always going to be there.

0:33:20.760 --> 0:33:24.560
<v Speaker 1>And knowing l Z was real, knowing my kids were real,

0:33:24.920 --> 0:33:27.800
<v Speaker 1>my friends who aren't in the business were real, and

0:33:28.000 --> 0:33:30.440
<v Speaker 1>they didn't they're not They're not fair weather fans that

0:33:30.560 --> 0:33:32.880
<v Speaker 1>came and went with the success of the show. And

0:33:32.960 --> 0:33:35.400
<v Speaker 1>so those people I always knew were going to be there.

0:33:35.440 --> 0:33:38.120
<v Speaker 1>And when you have that, you still have your bad

0:33:38.200 --> 0:33:40.760
<v Speaker 1>days and you question everything and you cry and you

0:33:40.800 --> 0:33:44.080
<v Speaker 1>have those low points, but you have people to support

0:33:44.120 --> 0:33:46.280
<v Speaker 1>you and to fall back on. And what are you

0:33:46.280 --> 0:33:49.120
<v Speaker 1>saying that? Chris Harrison cries as well. To Chris Harrison,

0:33:50.840 --> 0:33:53.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm you see all you see all the contestants get emotional,

0:33:53.960 --> 0:33:57.200
<v Speaker 1>but you'd ever see you, dude, I'm a ball bag. Um.

0:33:57.240 --> 0:34:00.920
<v Speaker 1>It's funny. I could probably count on one hand how

0:34:00.920 --> 0:34:05.000
<v Speaker 1>many times I cried before the day my daughter was born.

0:34:05.680 --> 0:34:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Something about when my daughter was born, I lost it.

0:34:09.320 --> 0:34:14.920
<v Speaker 1>And I mean commercials uh, watching a movie anything, you know,

0:34:15.000 --> 0:34:18.560
<v Speaker 1>Father of the Bride, forget about it. It just ruined you.

0:34:18.640 --> 0:34:21.800
<v Speaker 1>And and my daughter started singing. She was a performer

0:34:21.840 --> 0:34:26.120
<v Speaker 1>in theater. Anytime she's on stage, I'm crying it's over. Yeah. No,

0:34:26.200 --> 0:34:30.080
<v Speaker 1>I've turned into a big ball bag in my old age, Tommy. Yeah,

0:34:30.200 --> 0:34:33.280
<v Speaker 1>what about you, Lauren? Well, yeah, such a good question.

0:34:33.400 --> 0:34:35.600
<v Speaker 1>And it's funny. I was just reading the other day

0:34:35.640 --> 0:34:38.520
<v Speaker 1>this um this study, and it was the longest study

0:34:38.600 --> 0:34:41.560
<v Speaker 1>ever done on people's happiness, on what makes us happy.

0:34:41.640 --> 0:34:44.279
<v Speaker 1>It's something they've studied people for something like seventy to

0:34:44.360 --> 0:34:51.400
<v Speaker 1>eighty years, and the most important factor to happiness was relationships,

0:34:51.520 --> 0:34:56.359
<v Speaker 1>was having solid friends and family in people's lives. And

0:34:56.480 --> 0:34:59.200
<v Speaker 1>I thought, gosh, that's so true, right, because you know,

0:34:59.239 --> 0:35:00.520
<v Speaker 1>you can have all the money in the world, but

0:35:00.600 --> 0:35:03.200
<v Speaker 1>if you don't have people you love to share your

0:35:03.239 --> 0:35:07.319
<v Speaker 1>life with what you have, so um and I think

0:35:07.520 --> 0:35:10.480
<v Speaker 1>this Chris just said, it was those relationships. I mean,

0:35:10.600 --> 0:35:12.759
<v Speaker 1>I think it was important bablic for me watching you

0:35:13.320 --> 0:35:16.759
<v Speaker 1>even if your friendship would just say, hey, let's let's

0:35:16.760 --> 0:35:18.440
<v Speaker 1>just go like do a bike ride right now, you

0:35:18.440 --> 0:35:20.120
<v Speaker 1>know it's kind of get away and you guys could

0:35:20.239 --> 0:35:23.520
<v Speaker 1>escape a little bit and talk. And you mentioned talking, Tommy.

0:35:23.600 --> 0:35:26.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think that's something that has been a

0:35:26.520 --> 0:35:31.359
<v Speaker 1>little hard for us because in with what we went through,

0:35:31.360 --> 0:35:34.560
<v Speaker 1>people are telling you shut up, go away. We don't

0:35:34.560 --> 0:35:36.080
<v Speaker 1>want to hear from you, we want you to not

0:35:36.200 --> 0:35:44.160
<v Speaker 1>exist and so yeah, yeah, and we talked about like

0:35:44.239 --> 0:35:47.279
<v Speaker 1>I know who I am. Yeah, so they you know,

0:35:47.520 --> 0:35:50.280
<v Speaker 1>there are some people who become very loud about wanting

0:35:50.280 --> 0:35:53.680
<v Speaker 1>you to be very silent UM. And I do think

0:35:53.719 --> 0:35:56.879
<v Speaker 1>talking about what you're doing, is talking about what you're

0:35:56.880 --> 0:36:00.160
<v Speaker 1>struggling with is so important UM. But I also think

0:36:00.200 --> 0:36:03.399
<v Speaker 1>Chris talked a lot about like time we really it's

0:36:03.440 --> 0:36:06.560
<v Speaker 1>that combination of taking time to reflect and then talking

0:36:06.560 --> 0:36:10.520
<v Speaker 1>about what you need help with UM, which I mean,

0:36:10.560 --> 0:36:13.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing. This podcast really has helped me a lot now.

0:36:13.040 --> 0:36:14.440
<v Speaker 1>But I don't think I would have been ready to

0:36:14.480 --> 0:36:17.120
<v Speaker 1>talk about it so much a year ago. And I

0:36:17.120 --> 0:36:20.959
<v Speaker 1>would just add one more group that was always there

0:36:21.200 --> 0:36:26.280
<v Speaker 1>and Tommy that you you and so many more fans

0:36:26.440 --> 0:36:28.640
<v Speaker 1>who reached out to me, d M S, Twitter or

0:36:28.680 --> 0:36:32.839
<v Speaker 1>whatever it was and supported Lauren and I NonStop and

0:36:32.880 --> 0:36:35.720
<v Speaker 1>sent the people did. I think a lot of people were.

0:36:35.760 --> 0:36:39.640
<v Speaker 1>They did, and it was scared to they even and

0:36:39.920 --> 0:36:41.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad that people did. And the other thing I

0:36:41.800 --> 0:36:44.040
<v Speaker 1>wanted to ask you really quickly is that you're really

0:36:44.080 --> 0:36:47.040
<v Speaker 1>close to people who are still part of UM. The

0:36:47.080 --> 0:36:51.040
<v Speaker 1>Bachelor franchise, and of course wells Um and I see

0:36:51.080 --> 0:36:52.919
<v Speaker 1>you guys at your golf tournaments become of the fun

0:36:53.239 --> 0:36:56.040
<v Speaker 1>Instagram stuff he does. And also on the show here

0:36:56.040 --> 0:36:58.760
<v Speaker 1>on the podcast, did you have any advice for Sarah

0:36:58.760 --> 0:37:01.720
<v Speaker 1>when she was gonna google violence? Did you asked for peacock?

0:37:01.800 --> 0:37:03.239
<v Speaker 1>Did you did you give her? I know it's a

0:37:03.239 --> 0:37:05.279
<v Speaker 1>totally different show. I know it's not The Bachelor. I

0:37:05.280 --> 0:37:08.200
<v Speaker 1>know it's not. Did you ever say to her like, hey,

0:37:08.239 --> 0:37:10.279
<v Speaker 1>like you know, like this is how you do the

0:37:10.360 --> 0:37:13.400
<v Speaker 1>dramatic pause, or I'm the king of that, like I

0:37:13.400 --> 0:37:15.480
<v Speaker 1>can I can give you a few hints? Or do

0:37:15.520 --> 0:37:18.319
<v Speaker 1>you think that she she? She? She because she she

0:37:18.400 --> 0:37:20.960
<v Speaker 1>did a great job. She she handled it well. And

0:37:21.360 --> 0:37:23.080
<v Speaker 1>um you know she's kind of in the franchise a

0:37:23.080 --> 0:37:25.239
<v Speaker 1>little bit too, because of the fact that you know

0:37:25.360 --> 0:37:28.280
<v Speaker 1>she she Wells is in the franchise and in paradise.

0:37:28.480 --> 0:37:30.279
<v Speaker 1>So I was just wondering if you ever because you're

0:37:30.320 --> 0:37:32.880
<v Speaker 1>still friends with the people who stayed with you through everything,

0:37:32.920 --> 0:37:34.719
<v Speaker 1>which you have to say, that's so it's a very

0:37:34.760 --> 0:37:37.440
<v Speaker 1>important part of your mental health is having your friends,

0:37:37.560 --> 0:37:40.520
<v Speaker 1>and um, so is being friends with Sarah and wells

0:37:41.080 --> 0:37:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Um and and being part of their life, did you

0:37:43.000 --> 0:37:45.560
<v Speaker 1>ever give them advice like, for example, what you experienced

0:37:45.560 --> 0:37:47.520
<v Speaker 1>and what some good things like what she's doing with

0:37:47.800 --> 0:37:51.360
<v Speaker 1>with love, violence and over our peacock. Great question. Actually no,

0:37:51.840 --> 0:37:55.080
<v Speaker 1>we we never talked about it, and I didn't know before.

0:37:55.560 --> 0:37:58.359
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know before. I would be interested to ask her,

0:37:58.400 --> 0:38:00.400
<v Speaker 1>And someday, now that you brought this up, I'll have

0:38:00.440 --> 0:38:02.799
<v Speaker 1>to ask her if being a fan of the show,

0:38:02.840 --> 0:38:05.520
<v Speaker 1>because her and Wells watched the episodes, they watched The

0:38:05.520 --> 0:38:07.880
<v Speaker 1>Bachelor and Bacherette all the time, I wonder if that

0:38:08.000 --> 0:38:10.200
<v Speaker 1>helped her at all, if she she got any But

0:38:10.480 --> 0:38:14.240
<v Speaker 1>the thing about Sarah is a she's a world class actor,

0:38:14.680 --> 0:38:17.759
<v Speaker 1>but also she's a phenomenal stage actor and comes from

0:38:17.760 --> 0:38:22.360
<v Speaker 1>that background. So live that ad lib, that charisma, that charm.

0:38:22.400 --> 0:38:24.719
<v Speaker 1>It's not surprising to me that she took to it

0:38:24.800 --> 0:38:27.080
<v Speaker 1>so quickly and was so good at it, because she

0:38:27.200 --> 0:38:29.080
<v Speaker 1>is an amazing actress. I was always thinking when I

0:38:29.080 --> 0:38:30.640
<v Speaker 1>was watching it, I was just like, I wonder if

0:38:30.960 --> 0:38:33.840
<v Speaker 1>Chris has you know, told told some stuff from that

0:38:34.080 --> 0:38:36.840
<v Speaker 1>and gave some points that's really interesting. Well, I gotta say, you, guys,

0:38:36.880 --> 0:38:39.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm really impressed with how everything's going and I'm right

0:38:39.840 --> 0:38:42.200
<v Speaker 1>now traveling. I'm in Seattle as we stand. But you know,

0:38:42.320 --> 0:38:45.200
<v Speaker 1>as somebody from Toronto and Canada, you know, there's so

0:38:45.280 --> 0:38:47.759
<v Speaker 1>much Bachelor love. There's so much love, and I wish

0:38:47.840 --> 0:38:49.600
<v Speaker 1>you nothing but the best. I hope that we see

0:38:49.600 --> 0:38:52.120
<v Speaker 1>you on our TV screen sometime soon or in some

0:38:52.160 --> 0:38:54.080
<v Speaker 1>sort of media. But this is the best way and

0:38:54.360 --> 0:38:55.880
<v Speaker 1>the way that you get to tell your truth and

0:38:55.920 --> 0:38:58.360
<v Speaker 1>you don't have anybody censoring you, and the way that

0:38:58.400 --> 0:39:00.279
<v Speaker 1>you show your love with Lauren, I think is just

0:39:00.640 --> 0:39:03.080
<v Speaker 1>it's fantastic. We need we need this, We need we

0:39:03.120 --> 0:39:05.759
<v Speaker 1>need people talking positive. We need people talking about how

0:39:05.800 --> 0:39:08.560
<v Speaker 1>we get through our stuff, and people like you who

0:39:08.640 --> 0:39:12.040
<v Speaker 1>have gone through who I don't think did that. UM,

0:39:12.080 --> 0:39:15.560
<v Speaker 1>but you you are, you are, You are a great guy,

0:39:15.600 --> 0:39:17.719
<v Speaker 1>and you you were my childhood basically because we have

0:39:17.800 --> 0:39:20.600
<v Speaker 1>a Bachelor on UM every single every single week. My

0:39:20.640 --> 0:39:22.200
<v Speaker 1>mom would watch it more than anything. And I know

0:39:22.239 --> 0:39:24.799
<v Speaker 1>people that just praise you, so thank you so much.

<v Speaker 1>What a doll Tommy. Oh my gosh, his voice made

0:39:35.120 --> 0:39:40.440
<v Speaker 1>me happy and I love this. I love truly taking calls,

0:39:40.520 --> 0:39:44.279
<v Speaker 1>having the hotline open um. I appreciate everybody reaching out,

0:39:44.320 --> 0:39:49.280
<v Speaker 1>and it is true. Canada was always so huge their support.

0:39:49.360 --> 0:39:51.560
<v Speaker 1>It was just amazing every time we went up there.

0:39:51.560 --> 0:39:54.120
<v Speaker 1>And I remember when they started The Canadian Bachelor, they

0:39:54.160 --> 0:39:55.920
<v Speaker 1>did their own version, they used ours as well, and

0:39:55.960 --> 0:39:58.080
<v Speaker 1>then they started their own version and they flew me

0:39:58.160 --> 0:40:01.200
<v Speaker 1>up to Toronto to promote it. And this is years ago,

0:40:01.840 --> 0:40:05.799
<v Speaker 1>and I just it was wild how many people were

0:40:05.800 --> 0:40:20.120
<v Speaker 1>into the show up there. I truly appreciated it. Let's

<v Speaker 1>ten plus years that i've watched The Bachelor, UM, and

0:40:58.600 --> 0:41:01.560
<v Speaker 1>I've really enjoyed hearing from Lauren and getting to know

0:41:01.600 --> 0:41:04.080
<v Speaker 1>you a little bit more through this podcast. And I

0:41:04.120 --> 0:41:07.760
<v Speaker 1>really appreciate seeing and hearing a different facet of you, Chris. UM.

0:41:07.800 --> 0:41:10.000
<v Speaker 1>I know you you don't want to harp on the religion,

0:41:10.040 --> 0:41:12.719
<v Speaker 1>but I enjoy hearing that that viewpoint from you. I

0:41:12.960 --> 0:41:16.920
<v Speaker 1>enjoy having this freedom of a platform where you can

0:41:17.000 --> 0:41:20.000
<v Speaker 1>express those views, um, which I also hold. So it's

0:41:20.040 --> 0:41:22.440
<v Speaker 1>really nice to hear that. Thank you, Christian thought light

0:41:22.520 --> 0:41:26.120
<v Speaker 1>like that. Yeah, So onto the question. I was just wondering,

0:41:26.160 --> 0:41:30.080
<v Speaker 1>if you hypothetically were to have anybody from Bachelor Nation

0:41:30.160 --> 0:41:33.280
<v Speaker 1>officiates your wedding, who would it be. If it's someone

0:41:33.320 --> 0:41:35.880
<v Speaker 1>special to you and Lauren, that you're close with, someone

0:41:35.920 --> 0:41:38.880
<v Speaker 1>julive enough the event, who would that be? Kristen? What

0:41:39.080 --> 0:41:42.680
<v Speaker 1>a great question I'm gonna saw for a minute. Well

0:41:42.760 --> 0:41:45.640
<v Speaker 1>Chris thinks about that, I can see his mind spinning.

0:41:46.120 --> 0:41:47.799
<v Speaker 1>I know who you know what? I know who My

0:41:47.880 --> 0:41:49.680
<v Speaker 1>answer is, So let's say it to get do you

0:41:49.719 --> 0:41:52.120
<v Speaker 1>have yours? Well, I was going to say we should

0:41:52.120 --> 0:41:54.000
<v Speaker 1>say it together a little bit of I'm gonna have

0:41:54.000 --> 0:41:56.960
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of a cheat, like I think I

0:41:56.960 --> 0:41:59.640
<v Speaker 1>would cheat a little bit. You're gonna cheat, and I

0:41:59.640 --> 0:42:04.240
<v Speaker 1>would probably multiple performers. Oh my gosh, he's producing our wedding, Kristen.

0:42:04.280 --> 0:42:08.520
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna have multiple officiants. He's producing it. Okay, give

0:42:08.520 --> 0:42:10.400
<v Speaker 1>me your first choice. We'll say it together on three

0:42:10.440 --> 0:42:14.080
<v Speaker 1>and see what's the same one to three. Andrew Firestone

0:42:15.920 --> 0:42:22.480
<v Speaker 1>for sure. Yeah, he's our dear friend. Um, yes, yeah,

0:42:22.520 --> 0:42:27.719
<v Speaker 1>that dates everybody. Um, Andrew was gosh, maybe five, maybe

0:42:27.760 --> 0:42:31.640
<v Speaker 1>our fifth batch or somewhere around there. Um, he was

0:42:31.680 --> 0:42:33.799
<v Speaker 1>a dear friend. He's a very very good friend of

0:42:33.840 --> 0:42:36.040
<v Speaker 1>ours now he was a good friend of mine for

0:42:36.040 --> 0:42:38.120
<v Speaker 1>many years. And then obviously el Z's got to meet

0:42:38.160 --> 0:42:41.680
<v Speaker 1>her and his beautiful wife, Ivanna and the kids. Another

0:42:41.719 --> 0:42:45.600
<v Speaker 1>one though, that's right there. Um would be Bob Guinney,

0:42:46.600 --> 0:42:49.560
<v Speaker 1>because Bob is hilarious and also a very good friend.

0:42:49.840 --> 0:42:52.120
<v Speaker 1>But he's a showman. And if there is a guy,

0:42:52.120 --> 0:42:54.960
<v Speaker 1>they're they're very similar. If you have Bob Guiney and

0:42:54.960 --> 0:42:59.640
<v Speaker 1>Andrew Firestone in a bar, in a restaurant wherever. Everybody.

0:42:59.680 --> 0:43:02.120
<v Speaker 1>They just to have this gravitational pull. It's like they

0:43:02.120 --> 0:43:05.080
<v Speaker 1>are the pie piper. Everybody will just go to them.

0:43:05.120 --> 0:43:08.280
<v Speaker 1>It is this amazing thing that I've always envied so much.

0:43:08.400 --> 0:43:11.399
<v Speaker 1>And they both have so much energy. I think Bob

0:43:11.840 --> 0:43:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Andrew was number three. I looked it up. I think

0:43:13.520 --> 0:43:15.719
<v Speaker 1>Bob was too. See you are going old school. But

0:43:15.800 --> 0:43:17.759
<v Speaker 1>Bob was right after Trista because he Bob was on

0:43:17.760 --> 0:43:20.720
<v Speaker 1>Trista season um and he but it was funny because

0:43:20.760 --> 0:43:23.880
<v Speaker 1>he had a broken leg. He had played football at

0:43:23.880 --> 0:43:25.759
<v Speaker 1>Michigan State or something like that, had broken his leg,

0:43:26.160 --> 0:43:29.760
<v Speaker 1>and so everyone kind of thought he and again, Bob's

0:43:29.800 --> 0:43:32.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna kill me. But he was a little bit chubby

0:43:32.120 --> 0:43:34.160
<v Speaker 1>at the time because he was in a cast. And

0:43:34.160 --> 0:43:36.040
<v Speaker 1>then he came back for The Bachelor and he was

0:43:36.080 --> 0:43:39.800
<v Speaker 1>like all fit. Everybody was like, who's this guy? Whoa Bob?

0:43:40.320 --> 0:43:42.520
<v Speaker 1>He was ready for the shirtless scenes? What about Bob?

0:43:42.680 --> 0:43:46.200
<v Speaker 1>I also think Ben Higgins would be a great just

0:43:46.239 --> 0:43:49.359
<v Speaker 1>because he is He's such a faithful person. He's very

0:43:49.360 --> 0:43:51.360
<v Speaker 1>faith driven. He would take it very serious and he

0:43:51.360 --> 0:43:54.160
<v Speaker 1>would do a very good job. I agree, But and

0:43:54.200 --> 0:43:57.400
<v Speaker 1>Ben has kind of a what's the word, like a

0:43:57.520 --> 0:44:00.520
<v Speaker 1>calmness to him. He has that gravitas, which would be

0:44:00.600 --> 0:44:05.440
<v Speaker 1>nice for appreciating a wedding. Now bachelorette's Oh yes, good call, baby,

0:44:05.480 --> 0:44:08.200
<v Speaker 1>can't leave the bachelorettes out, you know, I can't forget that.

0:44:08.320 --> 0:44:10.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, I love my love my ladies. I love

0:44:10.680 --> 0:44:13.560
<v Speaker 1>all my bachelorettes. Um. I was like trying. I mean,

0:44:13.640 --> 0:44:18.200
<v Speaker 1>obviously you know the goat Trista Um, but I would

0:44:18.280 --> 0:44:20.600
<v Speaker 1>rather her just sit front and center, you know, just

0:44:20.640 --> 0:44:24.640
<v Speaker 1>like in a in her chair and like a you know,

0:44:25.080 --> 0:44:28.520
<v Speaker 1>like a queen's chair. That's how I always see Chris Trista. Um,

0:44:28.760 --> 0:44:34.160
<v Speaker 1>let's see Jojo. I think, yeah, she would be really fun.

0:44:34.680 --> 0:44:36.560
<v Speaker 1>If I wanted it really irreverent, I could go back

0:44:36.560 --> 0:44:43.719
<v Speaker 1>to Jillian Harris. Um. That's a great question. I love this.

0:44:43.840 --> 0:44:46.759
<v Speaker 1>I love what a phenomenal question, Kristin. Who would you

0:44:46.800 --> 0:44:50.160
<v Speaker 1>pick for us? Thank? Yeah? Who would you like to

0:44:50.160 --> 0:44:54.200
<v Speaker 1>see that? Yeah? Ben would be great or Sean. I

0:44:54.200 --> 0:44:59.399
<v Speaker 1>think Sean would also kind of give that reverence irreverence.

0:45:00.280 --> 0:45:02.880
<v Speaker 1>You are you smiling? Because Sean was just going to

0:45:02.960 --> 0:45:06.279
<v Speaker 1>have fifty dad jokes. Oh no, Sean would be great too,

0:45:06.360 --> 0:45:09.800
<v Speaker 1>I was thinking, and he's so funny. I was thinking,

0:45:10.000 --> 0:45:12.680
<v Speaker 1>that's nice because you were at Seawan and Catherine's wedding

0:45:12.719 --> 0:45:14.359
<v Speaker 1>and then we could have Sean do ours. And Ben

0:45:14.400 --> 0:45:17.160
<v Speaker 1>holds a special place in our heart too, because Ben

0:45:17.239 --> 0:45:19.560
<v Speaker 1>was my introduction to the Bachelor franchise. He was the

0:45:19.600 --> 0:45:23.160
<v Speaker 1>first season that I ever covered the show. So Ben's

0:45:23.239 --> 0:45:25.799
<v Speaker 1>like my O g so gosh, we might be calling

0:45:25.840 --> 0:45:31.040
<v Speaker 1>Ben Higgins fishy. Kristin, thank you, you just planned our wedding.

0:45:31.360 --> 0:45:33.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh you're welcome. I also want to say, Lauren, I

0:45:33.440 --> 0:45:37.600
<v Speaker 1>really appreciate your non sporty side because I also feel

0:45:37.640 --> 0:45:41.120
<v Speaker 1>that way with my husband constantly watching sports. We're having

0:45:41.160 --> 0:45:44.360
<v Speaker 1>the one the Pinnacle this weekend with the Eagles, Go Birds,

0:45:44.360 --> 0:45:47.680
<v Speaker 1>but after that, hopefully a little less on this side.

0:45:47.840 --> 0:45:49.719
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, Chris, and I gotta tell you, for

0:45:49.719 --> 0:45:51.680

<v Speaker 1>can't tell you how exciting it is to have just

0:49:45.000 --> 0:49:48.319
<v Speaker 1>even just your voice back on radio. I guess if

0:49:48.640 --> 0:49:50.840
<v Speaker 1>if I close my eyes, it feels like I'm watching Bachelor.

0:49:51.160 --> 0:49:53.160
<v Speaker 1>It feels like I'm watching Bachelor again. It's nice to

0:49:53.160 --> 0:49:56.239
<v Speaker 1>have a familiar, familiar voice again. But I had a

0:49:56.320 --> 0:50:00.200
<v Speaker 1>question UM as far as Bachelor Nation UM cast members.

0:50:00.640 --> 0:50:02.840
<v Speaker 1>I did not know, UM, if you had if you

0:50:02.880 --> 0:50:06.319
<v Speaker 1>could divulge, if you had anyone lined up so far

0:50:06.400 --> 0:50:09.640
<v Speaker 1>from Bachelor Nation that you were UM plan on having

0:50:09.719 --> 0:50:12.479
<v Speaker 1>on the show, Any contestants you were excited to catch

0:50:12.640 --> 0:50:16.759
<v Speaker 1>up with, or any contestants you were curious to have

0:50:16.880 --> 0:50:20.600
<v Speaker 1>back to maybe have a difficult conversation or close the air,

0:50:21.320 --> 0:50:25.560
<v Speaker 1>clear the air rather UM, or maybe Jesse Palmer on this,

0:50:25.960 --> 0:50:27.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, have that conversation with the two of you.

0:50:27.960 --> 0:50:30.160
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't sure if there was a relationship there, what

0:50:30.280 --> 0:50:33.919
<v Speaker 1>that conversation would look like. You know, there's I think

0:50:33.960 --> 0:50:36.399
<v Speaker 1>what we would do is the way this is kind

0:50:36.400 --> 0:50:43.320
<v Speaker 1>of manifested itself, UM Brittany is when something topical, something

0:50:43.360 --> 0:50:47.560
<v Speaker 1>relatable comes up, like Caitlin Bristow did that interview and

0:50:47.600 --> 0:50:50.680
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden the headlines hit and it really

0:50:50.719 --> 0:50:53.839
<v Speaker 1>made sense to have her on the show. UH subsequently

0:50:54.200 --> 0:50:56.640
<v Speaker 1>been in Welles when we were at the golf tournament

0:50:57.120 --> 0:50:59.879
<v Speaker 1>and Chris Lane had his locker right next to Ben,

0:51:00.000 --> 0:51:01.880
<v Speaker 1>I said, guys, we have to do a podcast. This

0:51:01.920 --> 0:51:05.560
<v Speaker 1>is amazing. So it made sense. Um, I will divulge

0:51:05.640 --> 0:51:10.040
<v Speaker 1>that Ari and Lauren are definitely going to be coming

0:51:10.080 --> 0:51:13.560
<v Speaker 1>on soon because they have something exciting that we're going

0:51:13.640 --> 0:51:17.040
<v Speaker 1>to talk about that LZ and I took part in that. Uh,

0:51:17.360 --> 0:51:21.359
<v Speaker 1>I'll just leave it there. And I can also tell

0:51:21.400 --> 0:51:24.719
<v Speaker 1>you breaking news. Hannah Brown and I are going to

0:51:24.800 --> 0:51:28.879
<v Speaker 1>be talking very very soon about something that she took

0:51:28.920 --> 0:51:31.799
<v Speaker 1>part in and something that we're promoting. But also just

0:51:31.840 --> 0:51:33.960
<v Speaker 1>catching up with Hannah that I haven't talked to her.

0:51:34.120 --> 0:51:36.000
<v Speaker 1>We've texted back and forth a little bit, but haven't

0:51:36.040 --> 0:51:38.120
<v Speaker 1>talked to her in a little while. And so it

0:51:38.200 --> 0:51:40.799
<v Speaker 1>is nice to get some of the old friends and

0:51:40.880 --> 0:51:44.279
<v Speaker 1>cast members on and and we can talk because there

0:51:44.400 --> 0:51:46.799
<v Speaker 1>is so much to talk about because we had these

0:51:47.160 --> 0:51:51.440
<v Speaker 1>inside stories and inside relationships, and those relationships have grown

0:51:51.840 --> 0:51:54.560
<v Speaker 1>and continued far beyond the show, and so I love

0:51:54.960 --> 0:51:58.480
<v Speaker 1>reaching back and continuing that. So those are a couple

0:51:58.520 --> 0:52:00.480
<v Speaker 1>more and then I think, look as time goes on,

0:52:00.840 --> 0:52:03.880
<v Speaker 1>if it makes sense, if it's something topical and newsworthy

0:52:03.880 --> 0:52:06.640
<v Speaker 1>and I think you guys would find it interesting. Then yeah,

0:52:06.719 --> 0:52:09.960
<v Speaker 1>we'll do it right. That's so exciting. I think it's

0:52:10.000 --> 0:52:12.480
<v Speaker 1>going to be so um. I hate to use the

0:52:12.480 --> 0:52:14.719
<v Speaker 1>word eclectic. I don't know quite the right word to use,

0:52:14.760 --> 0:52:17.520
<v Speaker 1>but I feel almost like comforting to in a sense

0:52:17.560 --> 0:52:20.240
<v Speaker 1>for everyone, not only having you back and having your voice,

0:52:20.480 --> 0:52:23.239
<v Speaker 1>you know, on a podcast, um, but also being able

0:52:23.239 --> 0:52:26.000
<v Speaker 1>to hear you interact with Bachelor Nation again, the cast members,

0:52:26.000 --> 0:52:28.040
<v Speaker 1>because I know that's something that you know people are

0:52:28.080 --> 0:52:30.239
<v Speaker 1>missing and just kind of a comfort to so many

0:52:30.280 --> 0:52:32.520
<v Speaker 1>of us. So I really look forward to hearing who

0:52:32.560 --> 0:52:34.680
<v Speaker 1>you have on the show and kind of having a

0:52:34.719 --> 0:52:37.520
<v Speaker 1>little little throwback time of Chris Harrison. I love that.

0:52:37.600 --> 0:52:39.840
<v Speaker 1>So that's maybe that's a new show throwback time with

0:52:39.920 --> 0:52:42.759
<v Speaker 1>c h Thank you, Brittany, I appreciate it. Thanks for

0:52:42.800 --> 0:52:46.560
<v Speaker 1>calling in you too. Um. Yeah, you know when it

0:52:46.600 --> 0:52:49.600
<v Speaker 1>makes sense, uh, I think you know, we'll always bring

0:52:49.640 --> 0:52:53.879
<v Speaker 1>people on when it's um interesting, when when we got

0:52:53.880 --> 0:52:57.400
<v Speaker 1>something to talk about, when it's dramatic, when it's dramatic,

0:52:57.440 --> 0:53:00.200
<v Speaker 1>and Caitlin definitely made it dramatic for us, and so

0:53:00.320 --> 0:53:03.480
<v Speaker 1>did Chris Lane and Ben Higgins. I by the way

0:53:03.520 --> 0:53:06.040
<v Speaker 1>I saw that Chris Lane had had kind of done

0:53:06.239 --> 0:53:08.080
<v Speaker 1>he did his own interview or he said, Look, I

0:53:08.080 --> 0:53:09.600
<v Speaker 1>would have loved to have played with Ben. I like that.

0:53:09.719 --> 0:53:12.840
<v Speaker 1>They they it's mutual admiration society. They really got along

0:53:13.360 --> 0:53:15.359
<v Speaker 1>um behind the scenes. When we were at the bar

0:53:15.480 --> 0:53:17.560
<v Speaker 1>that night, that very first night, it could have been awkward,

0:53:17.600 --> 0:53:19.920
<v Speaker 1>and everyone got along so well and has moved on

0:53:20.040 --> 0:53:23.359
<v Speaker 1>because look, timing everything was meant to happen the way

0:53:23.360 --> 0:53:26.919
<v Speaker 1>it did. They've they, Chris and Lauren have Now there's

0:53:26.960 --> 0:53:29.720
<v Speaker 1>so many Lauren's in our life. Ari and Lauren, Chris

0:53:29.719 --> 0:53:33.399
<v Speaker 1>and Lauren, Chris, Chris and Lauren. Yeah, there's a lot

0:53:33.440 --> 0:53:47.120
<v Speaker 1>of there's a lot of us. Okay, we have someone

0:53:47.239 --> 0:53:49.799
<v Speaker 1>very excited. We're going back up to Canada, this time

0:53:49.840 --> 0:53:55.440
<v Speaker 1>to Ottawa, Ontario. Um, a very very excited. Well, we

0:53:55.520 --> 0:53:57.800
<v Speaker 1>have a Lauren on the lawn. Oh my gosh, Hi Lauren,

0:53:57.840 --> 0:53:59.640
<v Speaker 1>it's Lauren. How are you Lauren? When I was talking

0:53:59.640 --> 0:54:01.640
<v Speaker 1>about all Lauren's, I didn't see that we have a Lauren.

0:54:01.880 --> 0:54:03.920
<v Speaker 1>You know what? Lauren? Before we get to your question,

0:54:04.160 --> 0:54:06.640
<v Speaker 1>can I ask you, as a watcher of the show,

0:54:06.680 --> 0:54:11.720
<v Speaker 1>which I would, I would guess you watch Bachelor yes, okay,

0:54:11.840 --> 0:54:14.080
<v Speaker 1>So was it hard for you. There were a couple

0:54:14.080 --> 0:54:16.920
<v Speaker 1>of seasons there where there were I think it was

0:54:17.040 --> 0:54:20.680
<v Speaker 1>in the Lauren at the time Bushnell years. There were

0:54:20.719 --> 0:54:22.880
<v Speaker 1>a couple of seasons where it would be like five

0:54:23.040 --> 0:54:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Lauren's in one season, and then I'm covering the show

0:54:26.000 --> 0:54:28.960
<v Speaker 1>and I as Lauren, I'm interviewing all these Lauren's and

0:54:29.000 --> 0:54:31.799
<v Speaker 1>saying my own name. It was so weird and confusing.

0:54:31.840 --> 0:54:33.839
<v Speaker 1>Did you find that where there's some seasons you were

0:54:33.840 --> 0:54:38.280
<v Speaker 1>watching You're like, oh my god, everyone's name Lauren. Oh god,

0:54:38.440 --> 0:54:41.920
<v Speaker 1>it was more like the story of my life. My

0:54:42.000 --> 0:54:45.360
<v Speaker 1>last name is also, Oh your last name is Smith,

0:54:46.840 --> 0:54:49.520
<v Speaker 1>like a billy and Lauren Smith's in the world, doesn't

0:54:49.640 --> 0:54:51.279
<v Speaker 1>It is just another day. Well, you're going to be

0:54:51.360 --> 0:54:57.680
<v Speaker 1>Lauren s Lauren. Nice to meet Lauren. What's going on?

0:54:57.719 --> 0:55:04.480
<v Speaker 1>What's your question? Nice to me? You too? Well, I uh, Chris,

0:55:04.560 --> 0:55:08.480
<v Speaker 1>You're wonderful. But I have to say, Lauren, I'm a

0:55:08.600 --> 0:55:11.680
<v Speaker 1>huge Lauren's Ema fan. Oh my gosh. I think you

0:55:11.680 --> 0:55:16.000
<v Speaker 1>were fantastic and I got to know you through your

0:55:16.080 --> 0:55:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Roses and Rose Show and it was my favorite part

0:55:20.840 --> 0:55:26.080
<v Speaker 1>of watching The Bachelor, Bachelorette or whatever. We were watching. Um,

0:55:26.120 --> 0:55:29.400
<v Speaker 1>it was just the biggest treat to come watch in

0:55:29.560 --> 0:55:32.719
<v Speaker 1>your take on what's going on, nobody else's take on

0:55:32.800 --> 0:55:37.080
<v Speaker 1>what's going on is as funny or clever as yours,

0:55:37.400 --> 0:55:39.120
<v Speaker 1>and you and I happened to be I think about

0:55:39.160 --> 0:55:44.400
<v Speaker 1>the same age. UM, so all of your reference points

0:55:44.600 --> 0:55:51.759
<v Speaker 1>are my absolute favorite from Harry Potter weird nineties shows.

0:55:52.320 --> 0:55:57.239
<v Speaker 1>YEA question is, well, do you think you would ever

0:55:57.360 --> 0:56:00.520
<v Speaker 1>do anything like that again? I really you're maybe not

0:56:00.560 --> 0:56:05.240
<v Speaker 1>so much in the bachelor world anymore, and that's totally understandable. UM,

0:56:05.400 --> 0:56:09.799
<v Speaker 1>but do we get to see joy who you are

0:56:09.920 --> 0:56:13.320
<v Speaker 1>and how your take on things beyond just like Instagram

0:56:13.320 --> 0:56:15.480
<v Speaker 1>and stuff like that. Oh my gosh. Well, thank you

0:56:15.560 --> 0:56:17.279
<v Speaker 1>so much. And yes we are right there in the

0:56:17.360 --> 0:56:22.680
<v Speaker 1>same age. Happy early birthday. UM. And you know, us millennials,

0:56:22.719 --> 0:56:28.160
<v Speaker 1>we've been through enough, haven't we. Chris is rolling his eyes, UM, Lauren,

0:56:28.520 --> 0:56:32.200
<v Speaker 1>thank you. Yes, UM, I will absolutely love to do

0:56:32.280 --> 0:56:36.200
<v Speaker 1>something like that again. UM. I think I I've really

0:56:36.239 --> 0:56:43.200
<v Speaker 1>taken uh you know, this time to um kind of rebound.

0:56:43.239 --> 0:56:47.000
<v Speaker 1>I guess I've been working a lot lately on getting

0:56:47.000 --> 0:56:49.520
<v Speaker 1>back on Instagram a lot more. I I do think

0:56:49.520 --> 0:56:52.560
<v Speaker 1>I shut down for a little bit with um, everything

0:56:52.560 --> 0:56:55.920
<v Speaker 1>that Chris and I went through. Honestly, um wow, I'm

0:56:55.960 --> 0:57:00.359
<v Speaker 1>really just I'm unloading on you, Lauren. But I've been

0:57:00.880 --> 0:57:03.680
<v Speaker 1>working on opening back up again and I would love

0:57:03.719 --> 0:57:07.000
<v Speaker 1>to do that again. It was truly the joy of

0:57:07.080 --> 0:57:11.319
<v Speaker 1>my day every day at work. Um and yeah, so

0:57:12.000 --> 0:57:13.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think Chris and I have some stuff

0:57:13.520 --> 0:57:16.360
<v Speaker 1>in the works and I absolutely want to do something

0:57:16.600 --> 0:57:21.080
<v Speaker 1>along those lines again. Yes, yeah, Well that's really exciting

0:57:21.600 --> 0:57:24.680
<v Speaker 1>and absolutely understandable that you would need time and space

0:57:24.720 --> 0:57:28.200
<v Speaker 1>to regroup because of course, like I know, you're you're coming,

0:57:28.240 --> 0:57:31.080
<v Speaker 1>You're obviously coming from an authentic place when you do

0:57:31.120 --> 0:57:34.160
<v Speaker 1>what you do, and you have to be a human

0:57:34.160 --> 0:57:37.240
<v Speaker 1>and and heal anyway in order to regroup and be

0:57:37.280 --> 0:57:40.520
<v Speaker 1>able to do something like that again. So Lauren, thank you,

0:57:40.680 --> 0:57:43.600
<v Speaker 1>thank you for your support. I really appreciate it. I'll

0:57:43.640 --> 0:57:47.800
<v Speaker 1>get weird again. We're gonna get weird again, I promise. Awesome.

0:57:48.120 --> 0:57:51.800
<v Speaker 1>I look forward to it. Lauren. What Harry Potter House

<v Speaker 1>thanks for jotting nice. I appreciate it, all right, take

0:58:11.800 --> 0:58:15.600
<v Speaker 1>care of and you know, it's funny your Roses and Rose.

0:58:17.120 --> 0:58:20.080
<v Speaker 1>You've been doing it for a while and I hadn't

0:58:20.080 --> 0:58:24.800
<v Speaker 1>really watched that much. And it was really when we

0:58:24.800 --> 0:58:29.720
<v Speaker 1>started dating that I got into it and then got

0:58:29.720 --> 0:58:32.840
<v Speaker 1>obsessed with it. And I really it was almost like

0:58:32.840 --> 0:58:35.800
<v Speaker 1>I wanted an advanced copy because I wanted to know,

0:58:35.920 --> 0:58:38.720
<v Speaker 1>like what you were going to find funny, what you

0:58:38.800 --> 0:58:41.720
<v Speaker 1>were going to dive into. It was always interesting to me,

0:58:41.840 --> 0:58:44.040
<v Speaker 1>like what I would watch the show and here's what

0:58:44.080 --> 0:58:46.360
<v Speaker 1>I would think, But it was always fascinating to see

0:58:46.360 --> 0:58:48.960
<v Speaker 1>what you would find comedy in We would take away

0:58:49.000 --> 0:58:51.960
<v Speaker 1>different things. Yeah, yeah, I mean it was it was

0:58:52.000 --> 0:58:55.400
<v Speaker 1>fun to see to like play that game with each

0:58:55.440 --> 0:58:57.960
<v Speaker 1>other and analyze everything. And people would ask me if

0:58:57.960 --> 0:58:59.400
<v Speaker 1>you watched it, and I'm like, yess, he watches that

0:58:59.560 --> 0:59:04.440
<v Speaker 1>every ligiously. I got so into it. I loved my

0:59:04.440 --> 0:59:07.160
<v Speaker 1>my weekly Rose and Rose update, and it was an

0:59:07.200 --> 0:59:09.200
<v Speaker 1>honor and this is not a joke, when I got

0:59:09.240 --> 0:59:11.959
<v Speaker 1>to come on and play a part for you, because

0:59:11.960 --> 0:59:13.600
<v Speaker 1>it was you know, we always do some sort of

0:59:13.600 --> 0:59:16.160
<v Speaker 1>a bizarre acting. And I'm not as good as an

0:59:16.200 --> 0:59:18.440
<v Speaker 1>actor as you are. But it was fun when I

0:59:18.440 --> 0:59:19.880
<v Speaker 1>got to come on the show and do it, and

0:59:19.920 --> 0:59:22.000
<v Speaker 1>it was because you and I were dating, and it

0:59:22.040 --> 0:59:23.800
<v Speaker 1>was fun when I got to go in and just

0:59:23.880 --> 0:59:25.960
<v Speaker 1>be on set with you. Well, it sounds like we

0:59:26.000 --> 0:59:30.640
<v Speaker 1>should do something together in television again. Interesting. That's Oh,

0:59:30.840 --> 0:59:33.960
<v Speaker 1>that's interesting. One of my favorite lines from Friends. It's

0:59:34.040 --> 0:59:38.360
<v Speaker 1>very obscure. Here's a question. You didn't watch Roses and

0:59:38.480 --> 0:59:41.360
<v Speaker 1>Rose until after we started dating. I knew about it,

0:59:41.400 --> 0:59:45.200
<v Speaker 1>but I wasn't an avid watcher. Okay, so what you had,

0:59:45.280 --> 0:59:47.240
<v Speaker 1>had you seen it at all? Be honest? Yes, you know,

0:59:47.320 --> 0:59:50.800
<v Speaker 1>I knew. I knew of it. I know about just

0:59:51.120 --> 0:59:53.800
<v Speaker 1>I know about everything that's kind of going on, especially

0:59:53.880 --> 0:59:56.760
<v Speaker 1>something that was that popular. Is on entertainment tonight, and

0:59:56.840 --> 0:59:58.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's a huge part of pop culture of

0:59:58.880 --> 1:00:01.120
<v Speaker 1>what you were doing, and it was really popular. But

1:00:01.160 --> 1:00:03.800
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't sit down and watch it religiously every week.

1:00:03.880 --> 1:00:05.880
<v Speaker 1>I would catch bits of it. Know that. Well, your

1:00:05.880 --> 1:00:08.920
<v Speaker 1>answer makes me happy because I was wondering. I was

1:00:08.960 --> 1:00:11.160
<v Speaker 1>going to ask you if you had watched it before

1:00:11.160 --> 1:00:14.680
<v Speaker 1>we started dating, would you still have dated me? Well?

1:00:15.120 --> 1:00:18.400
<v Speaker 1>You didn't lean in kind of a Guilfy show. You

1:00:18.440 --> 1:00:22.160
<v Speaker 1>didn't do as many Voldemort impersonations when we first started dating,

1:00:22.640 --> 1:00:24.840
<v Speaker 1>lean fully into them. Now now Baltimore is here on

1:00:24.880 --> 1:00:31.320
<v Speaker 1>the rig and what what? What was funny? Is your take?

1:00:31.560 --> 1:00:33.800
<v Speaker 1>And I vividly remember this because it was about the

1:00:34.000 --> 1:00:37.920
<v Speaker 1>time when I really started to notice you and the

1:00:37.960 --> 1:00:42.960
<v Speaker 1>show and Roses was the Colton season. Can you remember

1:00:42.960 --> 1:00:46.360
<v Speaker 1>how much you and I forget your producer's name? J

1:00:46.520 --> 1:00:49.720
<v Speaker 1>C made fun of me running after Colton, running after

1:00:50.000 --> 1:00:51.880
<v Speaker 1>set it too, like I want to run to you

1:00:51.920 --> 1:00:54.720
<v Speaker 1>by Whitney Houston. Yeah, well it was a great moment

1:00:54.720 --> 1:01:01.840
<v Speaker 1>in TV. Can I tell you honestly, I think to me, Okay,

1:01:01.840 --> 1:01:05.439
<v Speaker 1>Hannah came after Colton? And who was after Hannah? Who's

1:01:05.480 --> 1:01:09.960
<v Speaker 1>the bachelor out of Hannah's season? I'm blinking. Does that

1:01:10.040 --> 1:01:13.280
<v Speaker 1>say something I was gonna to me? Was it? Peter Webber?

1:01:13.760 --> 1:01:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, oh yes, Oh my gosh, How did I

1:01:15.640 --> 1:01:18.040
<v Speaker 1>forget that? But I don't. That was like, that was

1:01:18.080 --> 1:01:22.360
<v Speaker 1>a real crescendo of amazing nous of the show where

1:01:22.400 --> 1:01:25.840
<v Speaker 1>those Colton and Hannah back to backs. Peter was great.

1:01:25.880 --> 1:01:29.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean we had barbed and and clarentatious. I mean,

1:01:29.440 --> 1:01:32.960
<v Speaker 1>Claire's ending with Dale was incredible, and Tastia was just

1:01:33.400 --> 1:01:36.320
<v Speaker 1>so watchable and lovable. It was pandemic times and were

1:01:36.400 --> 1:01:39.760
<v Speaker 1>it was interesting in that way. But you're right, there

1:01:39.840 --> 1:01:42.640
<v Speaker 1>was that huge crescendo of the Colton Hannah back to

1:01:42.680 --> 1:01:45.160
<v Speaker 1>back was a strong time for the show. It was

1:01:45.280 --> 1:01:48.440
<v Speaker 1>maybe the well and then Peters of many things on

1:01:48.480 --> 1:01:50.720
<v Speaker 1>the show. I will never forget that night in Portugal

1:01:51.160 --> 1:01:56.720
<v Speaker 1>with Colton. I will never forget at that night. How

1:01:56.800 --> 1:02:01.120
<v Speaker 1>real was that? Unbelievably yeah, really ran after him. I

1:02:01.160 --> 1:02:03.760
<v Speaker 1>will tell all of you now, because I'm not bound

1:02:03.840 --> 1:02:07.960
<v Speaker 1>by anything, I don't have to lie about any of it.

1:02:07.960 --> 1:02:12.280
<v Speaker 1>It was real. He legitimately jumped that fence and took off.

1:02:12.920 --> 1:02:16.240
<v Speaker 1>And here's why. When I came to work that night

1:02:16.280 --> 1:02:18.680
<v Speaker 1>and I was on property for this, it was not

1:02:18.680 --> 1:02:20.440
<v Speaker 1>where we were staying. We were at a different location

1:02:20.480 --> 1:02:24.040
<v Speaker 1>for the date. I drove past a security guard who

1:02:24.160 --> 1:02:26.880
<v Speaker 1>was controlling the gate. Obviously we didn't want just regular

1:02:26.960 --> 1:02:29.680
<v Speaker 1>folks walking into the into the date, so there was

1:02:29.680 --> 1:02:33.800
<v Speaker 1>a security guard. So when Colton jumped the fence, I

1:02:33.920 --> 1:02:37.760
<v Speaker 1>assumed said security guard would still be there, so not

1:02:37.880 --> 1:02:39.800
<v Speaker 1>a big deal. He's going to be right there by

1:02:39.800 --> 1:02:43.400
<v Speaker 1>the security. Well, we're in Portugal and this guy is

1:02:43.440 --> 1:02:44.840
<v Speaker 1>not going to work all hours of the night. And

1:02:44.880 --> 1:02:47.040
<v Speaker 1>it was very late, so the security guy had taken off.

1:02:47.120 --> 1:02:49.080
<v Speaker 1>He was gone. This is like, I don't know, one

1:02:49.160 --> 1:02:51.560
<v Speaker 1>or two in the morning maybe. And so when we

1:02:51.600 --> 1:02:54.080
<v Speaker 1>opened the gate and I saw it was pitch black

1:02:54.480 --> 1:02:58.280
<v Speaker 1>and there was nobody out there, and Colton was long gone,

1:02:58.920 --> 1:03:02.160
<v Speaker 1>That's when I had at ocean moment. And it was

1:03:02.200 --> 1:03:06.560
<v Speaker 1>a true ocean moment. He jumped up ging fence. That's

1:03:06.560 --> 1:03:09.760
<v Speaker 1>what you said. People love when you swear because it

1:03:09.840 --> 1:03:12.760
<v Speaker 1>was so rare, the power of an occasional customer. You

1:03:12.800 --> 1:03:14.760
<v Speaker 1>know what this podcast has made me realize. I don't

1:03:14.800 --> 1:03:17.520
<v Speaker 1>cuss a lot, but I use the words ship from

1:03:17.520 --> 1:03:22.360
<v Speaker 1>time to time. And my heart edits out the word ship. Well,

1:03:22.400 --> 1:03:25.280
<v Speaker 1>ship is a cuss word. I get that, but kind of.

1:03:26.320 --> 1:03:28.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's not the most egregious offense. But you're right.

1:03:29.520 --> 1:03:31.480
<v Speaker 1>My grandmother would still slap me upside the head if

1:03:31.480 --> 1:03:35.400
<v Speaker 1>I said it. But that night definitely was a legit,

1:03:35.520 --> 1:03:39.720
<v Speaker 1>real runaway. We lost him and I and I actually

1:03:39.720 --> 1:03:41.640
<v Speaker 1>got on the phone with everyone back in l A

1:03:41.720 --> 1:03:45.840
<v Speaker 1>and said, guys, We've lost this human being. You're like,

1:03:46.280 --> 1:03:51.280
<v Speaker 1>do we have insurance? You had one job keep track

1:03:51.320 --> 1:03:53.439
<v Speaker 1>of this human being, and we lost him. I gotta

1:03:53.440 --> 1:03:55.200
<v Speaker 1>be honest with the security guard of being there made

1:03:55.240 --> 1:03:57.520
<v Speaker 1>a difference. Colton is a big guy, by the way,

1:03:57.840 --> 1:04:01.520
<v Speaker 1>going to athletic as they come. He was like a

1:04:01.560 --> 1:04:05.400
<v Speaker 1>gazelle hopping over that fence and was gone. He is.

1:04:05.600 --> 1:04:07.240
<v Speaker 1>You know, we would work out from time to time

1:04:07.240 --> 1:04:09.280
<v Speaker 1>together and would run on the beaches wherever we were,

1:04:09.760 --> 1:04:13.280
<v Speaker 1>and we would be jogging in on do know, Thailand

1:04:13.320 --> 1:04:15.360
<v Speaker 1>or wherever we went on his season, and we'd be

1:04:15.440 --> 1:04:17.400
<v Speaker 1>jogging along for a couple of miles and I'm kind

1:04:17.400 --> 1:04:19.520
<v Speaker 1>of huffing and puffing, and Colton would just kind of

1:04:19.640 --> 1:04:22.360
<v Speaker 1>be talking the entire time, and he'd be like, Hey,

1:04:22.440 --> 1:04:24.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm just gonna stretch it out a little bit. I'll

1:04:24.120 --> 1:04:26.680
<v Speaker 1>be like, okay, yeah, we can pick it up within

1:04:26.720 --> 1:04:28.520
<v Speaker 1>a breath. He was a half mile ahead of you.

1:04:28.760 --> 1:04:31.280
<v Speaker 1>He just he was just like running against a deer.

1:04:31.440 --> 1:04:33.919
<v Speaker 1>It was just a joke. He is an absolute freak

1:04:33.960 --> 1:04:36.920
<v Speaker 1>of nature. But yes, I will admit that was a

1:04:37.040 --> 1:04:40.600
<v Speaker 1>very real moment, as is this call coming in from

1:04:40.680 --> 1:04:47.600
<v Speaker 1>Portland's Oregon Jessica says she has a juicy question, Jessica

1:04:47.640 --> 1:04:52.440
<v Speaker 1>with the juice. Hi, jess Hi, Hi guys, how are

1:04:52.480 --> 1:04:56.160
<v Speaker 1>you doing good? Bring this juice to the show? What

1:04:56.360 --> 1:05:01.880
<v Speaker 1>is it? So? I've always think everyone talks about the

1:05:01.960 --> 1:05:06.360
<v Speaker 1>contracts that everyone's under while being on the show. I

1:05:06.440 --> 1:05:08.880
<v Speaker 1>just was curious, like, what are those things you're not

1:05:09.000 --> 1:05:12.600
<v Speaker 1>allowed to talk about? And how long you can't talk

1:05:12.640 --> 1:05:17.080
<v Speaker 1>about those certain things and that kind of tea. Yeah, well,

1:05:17.120 --> 1:05:19.880
<v Speaker 1>you know it's I honestly don't know the ins and

1:05:19.880 --> 1:05:24.520
<v Speaker 1>outs because I've never signed one. Yeah, contestant contract. I

1:05:24.520 --> 1:05:27.320
<v Speaker 1>have a very different contract, um, you know, an employment

1:05:27.320 --> 1:05:31.280
<v Speaker 1>contract that I was under, um, But as a contestant,

1:05:31.920 --> 1:05:36.240
<v Speaker 1>whether it's American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, you name it.

1:05:37.000 --> 1:05:41.480
<v Speaker 1>The main name of the game is to control the information. Obviously,

1:05:41.520 --> 1:05:43.520
<v Speaker 1>don't give away an ending. You don't want to know

1:05:43.520 --> 1:05:45.439
<v Speaker 1>who wins Dancing, You don't want to know who wins

1:05:45.480 --> 1:05:49.360
<v Speaker 1>the Bachelor ahead of time, spoilers. And then it is

1:05:49.840 --> 1:05:53.439
<v Speaker 1>mostly behind the scenes stuff. Obviously they probably don't want

1:05:53.440 --> 1:05:57.280
<v Speaker 1>you talking about production, how the sausage is made, so

1:05:57.360 --> 1:06:00.760
<v Speaker 1>to speak. Those are the main points. And then controlling

1:06:01.840 --> 1:06:06.120
<v Speaker 1>your and this is the difficult part, especially with exposure

1:06:06.120 --> 1:06:09.960
<v Speaker 1>and now with influencers and Instagram, because that changed. Obviously,

1:06:10.160 --> 1:06:12.680
<v Speaker 1>when we started the show back in two thousand two,

1:06:13.200 --> 1:06:14.640
<v Speaker 1>none of this stuff was an issue. We didn't have

1:06:14.680 --> 1:06:17.280
<v Speaker 1>to worry about Instagram and Twitter and TikTok and all

1:06:17.280 --> 1:06:19.600
<v Speaker 1>this stuff. But with the advent of all this, it

1:06:19.640 --> 1:06:23.320
<v Speaker 1>had to get a little bit more strict of the content.

1:06:23.880 --> 1:06:26.360
<v Speaker 1>What you're promoting and who and what what shows you're

1:06:26.480 --> 1:06:30.560
<v Speaker 1>you're appearing on, and you know, probably podcasts as well,

1:06:31.080 --> 1:06:33.200
<v Speaker 1>had to be run through production that can that kind

1:06:33.200 --> 1:06:37.800
<v Speaker 1>of stuff. Nothing that crazy? Oh okay, wow, Why did

1:06:37.840 --> 1:06:40.040
<v Speaker 1>I feel like it was so much more than that? Like, oh,

1:06:40.040 --> 1:06:42.640
<v Speaker 1>when you see someone post oh I can't talk about

1:06:42.720 --> 1:06:45.080
<v Speaker 1>him under contract and they have like the emoji with

1:06:45.120 --> 1:06:47.080
<v Speaker 1>their finger up to their mouth or something. It depends

1:06:47.120 --> 1:06:49.520
<v Speaker 1>on It really depends on the show. It depends on

1:06:49.520 --> 1:06:52.400
<v Speaker 1>the show. And it might be now honestly, having been gone,

1:06:52.520 --> 1:06:54.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, and that they may have gotten a

1:06:54.200 --> 1:06:56.000
<v Speaker 1>lot more strict, but you have to ask one of

1:06:56.040 --> 1:06:58.640
<v Speaker 1>the contestants. I really don't know. But I did know

1:06:58.840 --> 1:07:02.560
<v Speaker 1>that on other os, you know, like Idol and some

1:07:02.600 --> 1:07:04.240
<v Speaker 1>of these other shows where they want to lock you

1:07:04.360 --> 1:07:08.120
<v Speaker 1>up for the year for production purposes and releasing an album.

1:07:08.200 --> 1:07:09.920
<v Speaker 1>And you know, the same thing kind of went for

1:07:10.000 --> 1:07:13.400
<v Speaker 1>The Bachelor, especially when people started getting so popular. Is

1:07:14.440 --> 1:07:20.920
<v Speaker 1>being able to control them and use them for profit themselves,

1:07:21.240 --> 1:07:23.360
<v Speaker 1>like having, you know, use if if Caitlin is gonna

1:07:23.400 --> 1:07:25.600
<v Speaker 1>come back and host a show, we want to use

1:07:25.640 --> 1:07:28.520
<v Speaker 1>her as host of the show. And so I definitely

1:07:28.520 --> 1:07:30.640
<v Speaker 1>had no say in that, and that was well above

1:07:30.680 --> 1:07:32.280
<v Speaker 1>my pay grade. And so I don't know, I'd have

1:07:32.360 --> 1:07:33.840
<v Speaker 1>to I'd have to get a copy of one of

1:07:33.840 --> 1:07:36.400
<v Speaker 1>the contestants contracts to honestly see what's in there. I

1:07:36.480 --> 1:07:43.960
<v Speaker 1>really truly don't know. Z being the investigative reporter, would

1:07:44.000 --> 1:07:46.560
<v Speaker 1>probably know more than me. Well yeah, just totally. I

1:07:46.560 --> 1:07:49.600
<v Speaker 1>mean this was even before we were dating, so it

1:07:49.600 --> 1:07:51.640
<v Speaker 1>was a couple of years ago. But I've seen a contract.

1:07:51.760 --> 1:07:55.960
<v Speaker 1>I've had contestants share their contracts with me before. Um,

1:07:56.000 --> 1:07:58.840
<v Speaker 1>I haven't I read it years ago, so I couldn't

1:07:58.840 --> 1:08:01.240
<v Speaker 1>tell you that super speci civic details. But I will

1:08:01.280 --> 1:08:05.040
<v Speaker 1>say that I had a lawyer tell me that they

1:08:05.120 --> 1:08:13.080
<v Speaker 1>thought the contract was quote nuts, Okay. They the contracts

1:08:13.080 --> 1:08:16.040
<v Speaker 1>are apparently pretty over the top in terms of what

1:08:16.080 --> 1:08:20.720
<v Speaker 1>they try to cover about the person's life. Yes, where

1:08:20.800 --> 1:08:24.519
<v Speaker 1>lawyers are involved, I'm sure right, they're gonna try and

1:08:24.560 --> 1:08:28.000
<v Speaker 1>just cover every angle and you know, overdo it. Um.

1:08:28.000 --> 1:08:30.920
<v Speaker 1>But I appreciate, uh, I appreciate the question, and more importantly,

1:08:30.960 --> 1:08:34.639
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate you listening to the most dramatic podcast ever.

1:08:35.200 --> 1:08:38.320
<v Speaker 1>Have you enjoyed it so far? Yes? Absolutely. Yeah. I'm

1:08:38.360 --> 1:08:41.040
<v Speaker 1>a big and a big Bachelor franchise fan, a big

1:08:41.120 --> 1:08:44.320
<v Speaker 1>Chris Harrison fan for a long time. So I just

1:08:44.439 --> 1:08:46.880
<v Speaker 1>was scrolling through Instagram and said call now. I was like, heck, yeah,

1:08:46.880 --> 1:08:49.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna call now. So anyway, that's why I'm here

1:08:49.520 --> 1:08:51.200
<v Speaker 1>and I love that. And Jessica can now clear it

1:08:51.240 --> 1:08:53.559
<v Speaker 1>up if anybody thinks these calls aren't legit. I mean

1:08:53.600 --> 1:08:56.920
<v Speaker 1>I I put the number up on Instagram and we

1:08:57.000 --> 1:09:00.400
<v Speaker 1>are truly taking calls from all over North America apparently

1:09:00.400 --> 1:09:02.040
<v Speaker 1>because we've been up to Canada a few times. And

1:09:02.320 --> 1:09:04.200
<v Speaker 1>I love that We've kind of criss crossed the country,

1:09:04.520 --> 1:09:06.880
<v Speaker 1>gone up to Canada and been across there as well.

1:09:06.920 --> 1:09:08.920
<v Speaker 1>So it's been a great night. I love taking your

1:09:08.920 --> 1:09:13.799
<v Speaker 1>calls and love talking to you. Jessica. Appreciate Thanks guys,

1:09:13.880 --> 1:09:17.920
<v Speaker 1>Thanks Elsie, thank you Elze, I hate to do this,

1:09:18.000 --> 1:09:23.400
<v Speaker 1>but we we got to put a rap on this. Wow. Okay, well,

1:09:24.720 --> 1:09:28.200
<v Speaker 1>I can't believe that I have seen a bachelor contract

1:09:28.240 --> 1:09:32.720
<v Speaker 1>and you haven't. I don't even know. Yeah, I haven't

1:09:32.720 --> 1:09:34.680
<v Speaker 1>even thought about it. I never even thought to look

1:09:34.720 --> 1:09:38.680
<v Speaker 1>at somebody's contract or ask about it. I don't, so,

1:09:38.800 --> 1:09:40.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, honestly, there was so it was so far

1:09:40.840 --> 1:09:43.000
<v Speaker 1>above my pay grade, and there were so many other

1:09:43.040 --> 1:09:45.360
<v Speaker 1>issues and things that I would deal with and had

1:09:45.360 --> 1:09:47.720
<v Speaker 1>to worry about that, you know. Getting into that minutia

1:09:47.840 --> 1:09:50.559
<v Speaker 1>was never I've heard people talk about it and how

1:09:50.560 --> 1:09:52.360
<v Speaker 1>tough it is and all that, but I've never really

1:09:52.360 --> 1:09:54.880
<v Speaker 1>gotten into the nuts and bolts of it all. But

1:09:55.000 --> 1:09:57.800
<v Speaker 1>you have. I love that. I want to say thank

1:09:57.840 --> 1:10:00.280

1:10:21.040 --> 1:10:23.479
<v Speaker 1>to open that can of worms. But it was great.

1:10:23.520 --> 1:10:26.120
<v Speaker 1>I love that we had this. We criss crossed the

1:10:26.120 --> 1:10:28.320
<v Speaker 1>country from east coast, west coast all the way up

1:10:28.400 --> 1:10:31.519
