1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:06,000 Speaker 1: This is the most dramatic podcast ever and iHeartRadio podcast. 2 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:09,879 Speaker 1: Chris Harrison and Lauren Zema coming to you from the 3 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 1: home office in Austin, Texas together again and it feels 4 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,120 Speaker 1: so good. And the best part is we haven't done 5 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 1: this in a while. This episode is devoted to you 6 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: getting questions from you. We put out little feelers last 7 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: week about getting some questions from you, the listener, and 8 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: we haven't done this in a while, and it's always 9 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: it always ends up being one of our favorite episodes 10 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: because we end up in places we never thought we 11 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: were going to go. You have fielded these questions, correct. 12 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 2: I've done a little narrowing down and we're kind of 13 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 2: separating them into like work and personal, Like. 14 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 1: Okay, some sometimes our work is personal. 15 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,919 Speaker 2: You know what is it ever? Not real quick? I 16 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 2: hate that phrase. It's just it's not personal. If you 17 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 2: everything to me about work is personal. Work is how 18 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 2: you feed your family, yourself, it's how you live if 19 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 2: you enjoy your job. Work is your creativity, your passion. 20 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 2: There's nothing impersonal to work about me. 21 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: And like it's just like this weird out that people invented. 22 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: It's like a line people invented You're right for. 23 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 3: When they're spiring or someone or something. 24 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: It's not personal, man, it's just business. It's like you 25 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: can say, I know this is personal for you, but 26 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: it was a business decision we had to make. That's 27 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: the new line. Yeah, of course it's personal to you. 28 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 1: I just ruined your livelihood, but I don't even know 29 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: how you're paying your mortgage next month. It's it's not personal. 30 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,119 Speaker 3: Okay, thanks, Yeah, so I'm abolishing that phrase. 31 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 2: But I do believe in sometimes the separation of church 32 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 2: and state, and in this case, we are separating a 33 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 2: business from personal questions real quick. So, like I said, 34 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 2: we've narrowed them down. We're going to start with the 35 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 2: personal and then we'll get into the business. So I'm 36 00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:00,040 Speaker 2: just going to dive right in. You know what, but 37 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 2: this is relevant. Claudia asked you two do a lot together. 38 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 2: How do you know when you need space? And that's true. 39 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 2: We'd spend a lot of time together between work and personal. 40 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: Let me brag on LZ and this will get to 41 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: your answer, Claudia of how you know, Lauren. And this 42 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: happens in relationships, especially in marriage, when you are living 43 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: together and inseparable and your lives are intertwined. I have 44 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: been weighing down the scales of this relationship pretty heavy lately, 45 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,639 Speaker 1: meaning the Harrison side of the family has been pretty needy. 46 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: There was a death in the family, there was a 47 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: medical emergency on top of that death, there was a wedding, 48 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: There was back to this medical emergency that needed to 49 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: be dealt with. It did, thank God. There was just 50 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: several things work, stuff that had to do predominantly with 51 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: me or my family, and LZ was there every step 52 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: of the way. God bless her. It's one of the 53 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 1: reasons I love her. She's so caring and just stood 54 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: by me through thick and thin. I leaned on her. 55 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: And it was not equal. You know how they say, 56 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 1: you know a marriage should be equal. It's not all 57 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: the time. Maybe at the end of the day, when 58 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: we total this up, it will be. But right now, 59 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four has not been fair. It has not 60 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: been equal. But I also saw that Lauren was getting 61 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: to the end of her rope and that she needed 62 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 1: a mental health break from my family and me, and 63 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: not in a bad way. She just needed to recharge 64 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: the batteries, and so we both felt it. We actually 65 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: discussed it, and you had a little getaway, and so 66 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: I think it's just something you feel. But also I 67 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: just wanted to say thank you, because my god, you've 68 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: been amazing so far this year. 69 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 3: Well thanks Sonny. 70 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 2: I mean, your family is my family, and I know 71 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 2: that you love my family, and if the situations were reversed, 72 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 2: you would have been doing all the same stuff. But yeah, 73 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 2: you know, I think there was just a lot going on, 74 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 2: and I said, I need like three days with my family, 75 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 2: with my mom and my sister where I can totally 76 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 2: be myself, where I can just completely and fully relax 77 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 2: as you kind of only can around the people who 78 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 2: know you the best. And you also like took those 79 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 2: through or three days I was gone and we're kind 80 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 2: of by yourself, like played golf, so we needed a 81 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 2: little recharge. 82 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: Went to a movie alone. Yeah I did. I did. Yeah, 83 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: I just took some me time. 84 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 3: And you know what we kind of do that day 85 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 3: and day out. 86 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 2: Really, I mean sometimes I'll say I'm going to go, 87 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,119 Speaker 2: you know, go to home Goods for a little while 88 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 2: and just have some time alone, or I'm going to go, 89 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 2: you know, you go play golf. And I think we're 90 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 2: just really communicative about like and also okay with the 91 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,359 Speaker 2: fact that we spend a lot of time together and 92 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 2: I'm never offended if you. 93 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 3: Go have a little time away from me and vice versa. 94 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: So hopefully that helps I. So the problem is there's 95 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 1: no definite moment, Mark. I think it's just something you 96 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: feel and you both need, and you just need to 97 00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:58,919 Speaker 1: be respectful of. 98 00:04:59,200 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 3: It's a good thing. 99 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, it's a good thing, both to spend 100 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 2: time together and to spend time apart. It's all about 101 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 2: knowing how much each other needs and talking about it. 102 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: I missed the heck out of you, and I couldn't 103 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: wait to pick you up from the airport. 104 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 3: I know, I like missing you a little bit. 105 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 2: It's interesting because when I look back at our relationship 106 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 2: in the beginning, we spent very little time together when 107 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 2: we first started dating, like, we were both working a ton, 108 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 2: both traveling for work a ton, and then the pandemic 109 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 2: changed that really quickly. 110 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 1: It was something that I aspired to and you and 111 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: I ever never really talked about this. It's something I 112 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: spent so much time alone. I was lonely, Like I'll say, 113 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 1: like when I was shooting The Bachelor Bachelorett and all 114 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: those shows, I was pretty lonely. Yes, I was with Crewe, 115 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: I had friends on there. I spent time filling my time, 116 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 1: but I wasn't filling my soul and feeding my soul. 117 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: And I always thought, I'm really going to relish the 118 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: moment when I find somebody I can spend my life with. 119 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: At the time, I think maybe they would travel with 120 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:02,919 Speaker 1: me on the show. Obviously I've left the show, but 121 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 1: I looked forward to having a relationship where I could 122 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 1: really spend some quality time with someone and be there 123 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 1: and likewise they would be there with me. I have 124 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,119 Speaker 1: also not lost that feeling of needing a little alone time. 125 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 1: But I was so excited to find someone like you 126 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 1: in my life that I could really dive into and 127 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 1: they dive into me. 128 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 2: There's this moment that I always think of. And I 129 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 2: don't remember who season you were filming, but we hadn't 130 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 2: been dating that long, and you were in France, You're 131 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 2: in Paris. It was like, I think, right before Notre 132 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 2: Dame caught fire. 133 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: Oh yes, yeah, I was. I forget I'll think of 134 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: it when you're right, because I sent a picture of 135 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: me riding the bike in front of Notre Dame. It 136 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 1: was like a month or so before it caught on fire. 137 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 2: So what sticks out to me about that story and 138 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 2: why it's always stuck with me, is that you and 139 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 2: I had just started dating, and i'd interviewed you for 140 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 2: the show, but I didn't really know what your life 141 00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 2: was while you were filming the show, and you were like, yeah, 142 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 2: I miss you. I'm just doing a bike ride alone 143 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 2: in Paris right now. 144 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 3: And I thought like, that's really sad. And I'm not 145 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 3: like saying your life was sad. 146 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 2: But you know, it looks from the outside you're in 147 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 2: Paris and you're working on this really cool job. But 148 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 2: you know, even though you had the crew with you, 149 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 2: they were filming something then you weren't part of that 150 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 2: scene in that moment. 151 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: I think it was Ari season because I think we 152 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: put the girls on the boat on the river. They 153 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: stayed on the river. Would that be wrong? 154 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 3: I went, we weren't dating during Ari nevermind, So I 155 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 3: don't know. 156 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: But I remember the dignificance.

No, Like, 176 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 2: did you just tell me about the story later when 177 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 2: we started dating? 178 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: You know, it wasn't what we were taking I know 179 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: it was. 180 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:46,959 Speaker 2: This is why court testimonies are of witnesses are unreliable. Okay, 181 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 2: another question from Debbie. Does your age difference ever come 182 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 2: into play? I guess she means, is it ever like 183 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 2: a factor in our lives? 184 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: I haven't felt it, have you, I really? I mean, sometimes, 185 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: of course they have. Well sometimes in conversations it comes 186 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 1: up like things that I lived through and things that 187 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: I witnessed and enjoyed some she wasn't even alive for, 188 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: So you know, it comes into play like that. I 189 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 1: don't think it's I've never thought of it as affecting 190 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 1: our relationship. 191 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 2: Well, I guess it depends on what you mean by 192 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 2: the term affecting. I mean, I like, does it ever 193 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,719 Speaker 2: come into play every single day all the time. You 194 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 2: have kids in college that I would only be my 195 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 2: kids biologically if I was a young teenage mom. So yeah, 196 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 2: like there are age difference comes into play, you know. 197 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 2: I'm I came into your kids' lives and they were 198 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 2: like older kids. None of my friends my age have 199 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 2: kids in college. 200 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: That's true. 201 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 2: That's a factor we just felt with like some medical 202 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 2: stuff with you know, your family, Like your parents are 203 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 2: older than my parents. I mean that's a difference just 204 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,319 Speaker 2: in the like kind of the discussions that we have 205 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 2: and kind of how we support family. Our families are 206 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 2: in different life stages, And I would think it comes 207 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 2: back the other way too, Like my little sister and 208 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 2: my little brother will probably have kids at some point, 209 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 2: and then you're going to have really young nieces and nephews. 210 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, that'll you know what, that'll maybe line up with 211 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 3: us becoming grandparents, which will be. 212 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: Good nephews, yeah, and grandkids kind of simultaneously. 213 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 2: God have the kids. I don't want to be like 214 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 2: a grandmother by forty. 215 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 3: I'm not ready. 216 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,559 Speaker 2: So yeah, I think it comes into factor in those ways, 217 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 2: but not in a way of like that it's a negative. 218 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 2: It's just different and it's something to you know, talk through, 219 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 2: but also like it can be a really good thing. 220 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 2: I mean, I loved that the kids were older when 221 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 2: I met them. I think I've done better with older 222 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 2: kids than I like. 223 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 3: I don't know. 224 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 2: I mean, I would have loved your kids if they 225 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 2: were younger. But it's been really cool to you know, 226 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 2: join in on their college life and all that. And 227 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 2: I kind of, you know, I don't know, I guess 228 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,199 Speaker 2: got to miss out in some of the really tough 229 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 2: younger years of driving kids to soccer practice and all that. 230 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 3: I came in for some fun stuff. 231 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 1: Miss the diapers. That's the good part. Miss miss the diapers. 232 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: Here for the frat parties. 233 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, do you think it comes into play. 234 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 1: Probably not as much. Yeah, I don't think about it 235 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: very often. Sometimes it comes up again in our conversations. 236 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: But you also put you also have very eclectic old 237 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 1: taste music, movies and stuff like that, so it's like 238 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: it's kind of seamless. 239 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 2: I mean, I think that the age difference is really 240 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,079 Speaker 2: what it's all about. If you're embarking on a relationship 241 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 2: with someone who's not the same age as you, is 242 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 2: a maturity difference, because I also know a lot of 243 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 2: people who like are older than you and are super immature, 244 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 2: people who have never analyzed themselves, who have never like 245 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 2: let their life experiences affect them, who are stunted in 246 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 2: some ways. Or I know people who are young and 247 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 2: are incredibly mature. I mean, you know, people tell me, 248 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,559 Speaker 2: I think at a simple level, people tell me I'm 249 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 2: an old soul a lot, and I think that you 250 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 2: are a very you know I probably the show, probably 251 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 2: The Bachelor, in a lot of ways, kept you, like 252 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 2: really young and vibrant, like you were always helping twenty 253 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 2: something's fine love. 254 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: Right, Well it was, I laughed.

The McConaughey line of you know, 256 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: I keep getting older, they stay the same age. It's 257 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: like the you know, the Bachelor Bacherette people stayed the 258 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: same age. They were always in their twenties and maybe 259 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: around thirty and that was about it. And so they 260 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,680 Speaker 1: I always kind of got that that whatever that generation was, 261 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 1: for twenty years, I stayed in that generation. 262 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 3: How old do you feel? 263 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: Oh good question in my forties?

But I definitely don't 267 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 1: feel and I think of in my fifties that the 268 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: next big milestone would be sixteen.

And she says, 292 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 2: and vice versa for Elsie.

That person's effect on them? 321 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 2: Like what this means in their lives? I mean, to me, 322 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 2: our friends should always make us better, and who someone 323 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 2: you're dating surrounds themselves with is like the biggest indicator 324 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 2: to me of so many things, Like I you know, 325 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 2: I look back at other relationships, and I should have 326 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 2: noticed more that those people didn't have a great group 327 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 2: of people around them. And you know, if someone you're 328 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 2: dating is hanging out with people who are like behaving 329 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 2: in a certain kind of way, let me tell you, 330 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 2: they're probably doing the same thing, even if they're not 331 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 2: telling you. So I think that's indicative. 332 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if if it's actually true. The 333 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 1: you know, you're the sum total of the five closest 334 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: people in your world. But it's definitely has an impact. 335 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: It's definitely relative, you know, definitely relates and is important 336 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: too who you surround yourself with. And I agree there 337 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: is a difference too of I just don't love this person. 338 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 1: They're not great as opposed to I think they're harming you. 339 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: I think they are bad for you. Yeah, they're bringing 340 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: you down. That's I think there's a difference there. You 341 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: might have to be a little stronger if that was 342 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: the case. 343 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 2: This is a fun question from another Lauren, did anyone 344 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 2: get cut off from the bar at your wedding? 345 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 1: We all did a true story. We all got cut off, 346 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: like like we were all at the waste Management golf 347 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: tournament this last weekend. In Phoenix. 348 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 2: We ran out of tequila, the Sambre tequila, which we love. 349 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 2: If you haven't tried it, we love Samprey tequila. 350 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: Go to Tequila Samprey. It might be hard to find, 351 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: go online, ask your liquor store for it. It's really good. 352 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 3: And it was so good that we literally ran out. 353 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, and we had a bunch. I mean we had 354 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: a bunch. Now, there was a faux pas. I brought 355 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 1: kind of an emergency box of tequila and I put 356 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: it in the grooms room and I told a couple 357 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 1: of people, Hey, should we run out, which I don't 358 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:06,160 Speaker 1: think we will because we have a massive amount, go 359 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: back in there and grab a few extra bottles, and 360 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 1: somehow we ran out. Nobody got the message. I didn't know, 361 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: and but I think it was probably for the best. 362 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,399 Speaker 1: I think we were all pretty pickled and having a 363 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,479 Speaker 1: good time. I don't think what we anticipated is how 364 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,239 Speaker 1: many shots would be going out the door, and that 365 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,160 Speaker 1: really burns through the supply pretty quick. 366 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 2: It could have taken a turn. Yes, so I think 367 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 2: it was good that we ran out. 368 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,119 Speaker 1: We had we had the wonderful TIFFs, treats, cookies, and 369 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 1: everyone kind of leaned into the milk and cookies and 370 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,639 Speaker 1: less tequila towards the end of the night probably saved 371 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: a lot of us. 372 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,439 Speaker 2: I mean, I know there were people and it was 373 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 2: just like it wasn't bachelor people, but like there was 374 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 2: like a breakup that happened at the wedding like there. 375 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 2: I mean, they're like some stuff went down. So I 376 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 2: think that running out of the tepical wedding stuff. 377 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,439 Speaker 3: You know, yeah, you gotta have some stories out of. 378 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 1: It, but stuff they kind of filtered back to us, 379 00:17:58,720 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 1: you know, weeks later. 380 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 2: If you haven't tried at cm bray s I E 381 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 2: M P R E so good, you'll run out of it. 382 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: So that's the taglines. Yeah we did too. 383 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,199 Speaker 2: I'm going to transition. Let's get to work. Here's some 384 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:14,120 Speaker 2: questions a little more leaning into our work lives. Number one, 385 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 2: who is a dream guest you'd like to have on 386 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 2: the podcast? From Isa is the question. 387 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: Do you have somebody in mind? I mean my dream 388 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 1: dream guest, dream dream bottom. 389 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 3: Oh you love you too. 390 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: If I getting into the craziness, I actually would love 391 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: And this is not our show and so it's not 392 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: really ever political. I would love to have all of 393 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: the presidential candidates on I would love to have RFK. 394 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 1: I would love to have Biden. I would love to 395 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,879 Speaker 1: have Trump. I would love to have vi Vaiku. I 396 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,439 Speaker 1: would love to have I would love to do a 397 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: series of shows with all the candidates. 398 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 3: Oh wow, put them in the hot seat. 399 00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: Yes, that to me would be fascinating. I love that 400 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 1: very much. It's very interesting to me. I followed the 401 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: politics and I love listening to these people speak and spin, and. 402 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 3: You do have that newsy side to you. 403 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 1: I would really enjoy doing that. It's twenty twenty four 404 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: election year. Maybe we'll start doing that. 405 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 2: Listen, President Trump, you did speak about the Bachelor's ratings. 406 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 2: Remember when he talked about the Bachelor during the pandemic. Yes, 407 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 2: he was like, these conferences are getting ratings like the 408 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 2: Bachelor big, bigger than the Bachelor. 409 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 1: And they're like, no, no, no, sir, you're you're wrong. 410 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: Actually we dwarfed you. And honestly, it wouldn't be to 411 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 1: like give you my opinion. I would just love to 412 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 1: let these people talk. 413 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 2: Here's a one that I have never asked you from Kristen. 414 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,640 Speaker 2: How would you feel if your kids, Josh or Taylor 415 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 2: wanted to go on a reality show. 416 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: I've talked a little bit about this because people often, 417 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: you know, when they would ask about my daughter, it'd 418 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: be like, would you ever let her be on the 419 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: Bachelor Bachelrette back in the day, And the answer was, yes, 420 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: look I have. And now we have raised these kids 421 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:10,719 Speaker 1: and I think we've instilled in them the values, the confidence, 422 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: the wisdom go do you you make your own decisions? Work, 423 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: play life. You know who you are responsible for and 424 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: responsible to now, and so I totally trust them to 425 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:29,400 Speaker 1: make good decisions. And if that involved reality TV, by 426 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 1: the way, I don't think it ever will, because neither 427 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,679 Speaker 1: one of them really seem inclined to do so. But 428 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,360 Speaker 1: sure knock yourself out from Ashley. 429 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,400 Speaker 2: Does the Bachelor Bachelorette actually get to pick who goes 430 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,199 Speaker 2: on the one on ones? Or does production shoes You've 431 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 2: been asked this many times. 432 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 1: Both you know it's it's You can even put a 433 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: percentage on it that it's fifty to fifty because it 434 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 1: depends on the season, depends on the storyline. There's a 435 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:57,439 Speaker 1: lot of bartering and negotiating that goes on with the 436 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: Bachelor Bacherette. It depends on if we needed a storyline 437 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,199 Speaker 1: to be pushed, or sometimes it was we need a 438 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: girl to be exposed and she's not good for you, 439 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: and so you need to go on to one on 440 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: one dates. You can see that. So sometimes you're reluctant 441 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: because you're like, well, I'm not really into Lauren, but 442 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:16,919 Speaker 1: we wanted you to go on a date because you 443 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 1: needed to make a decision. Because these people can't just 444 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,439 Speaker 1: stay on the show. So sometimes we would do it 445 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: for drama, sometimes for the best interest of the Bachelor batcherette. 446 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: So a lot went into play week by week. Who 447 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,439 Speaker 1: went on dates, why, who was on the group dates together, 448 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 1: the two on ones, et cetera. So there's not really 449 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 1: a clearcut percentage on that, but definitely it goes back 450 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 1: and forth. 451 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 2: From Amy, do you not watch The Bachelor now because 452 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 2: it triggers you? 453 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 1: I don't know if that is fair. The reason I 454 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: don't watch is it was my job, it was my livelihood, 455 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,479 Speaker 1: and it was really my life. I mean that's what 456 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: I did three sixty five. I was involved in that show. 457 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: I mean, there really wasn't a day that went by 458 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,479 Speaker 1: where I wasn't doing something for it. Maybe Christmas, Christmas 459 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 1: Eve or something, but it was really a very intensive 460 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,959 Speaker 1: job that took up a lot of my life and 461 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: my emotion and my energy. And so to watch it 462 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: now it just I watched it back then, not really 463 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 1: for enjoyment. I wasn't really watching it because it was 464 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 1: fun for me. I was watching it because it was 465 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 1: my life and my job and it's what I needed 466 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: to do. So it just doesn't make sense because now 467 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 1: I know how the sausage is made, I know how 468 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: it shot. I could probably tell you by the shot 469 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: who's directing that day, who the photographer is, maybe even 470 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 1: who audio is. I'm looking at the art department, how 471 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: the room is set up. I mean, I've seen it all. 472 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: So once you kind of seen behind the curtain and 473 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 1: you helped him that curtain, it just doesn't It doesn't 474 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,160 Speaker 1: bring me the enjoyment that other shows do. 475 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,199 Speaker 2: Right, well, yeah, when you were still on, I mean 476 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 2: you watched it so you knew, like for interviews and 477 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 2: like you know exactly, Yeah. 478 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 1: I would get it. I would get it was a 479 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 1: screener and I would quickly go through it because obviously 480 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 1: I'd already know. I knew what happened because I was 481 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: on the date or what have you. And so Yeah, 482 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: I would watch it to see what the editors came 483 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 1: up with and the storyline we were pushing, and yeah, 484 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 1: so a lot went into it that it wasn't just 485 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:24,440 Speaker 1: for my own enjoyment. 486 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 2: Liz asks, can we start a petition to make Jason 487 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 2: Tarctick the Bachelor or would you not want. 488 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:43,120 Speaker 3: That for him? 489 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 1: Oh? That's a tough question, because if I'm being honest, 490 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 1: I think it's I think it would be he would 491 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: be great at it. I think he would be a 492 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: very good bachelor. And I'm doing air quotes that you 493 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,239 Speaker 1: can't see because it's a podcast. Figure, I don't know 494 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: if that that show per se it was good would 495 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: be good for him. I think a show like that 496 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 1: where he is finding love publicly could work for him. 497 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,919 Speaker 1: Maybe a different show, whatever that may be. What do 498 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 1: you think? You know Jason as well as I do. 499 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 2: I love Jason, I've always loved I think Jason's a 500 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 2: great guy. 501 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: Yeah. 502 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,160 Speaker 2: I think that he's really in a place where he's 503 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 2: like ready, I mean, he talks a lot about when 504 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 2: we've talked to him, he talks a lot about like 505 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 2: the age that he's at and like, you know, he 506 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 2: he knows that he wants to find something really real. 507 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: And so yeah, he's got that ripped revenge pod. 508 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 2: Gaing the Bachelor feels like it would be like maybe 509 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 2: a step backwards to me, like, yeah, you know, it's 510 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 2: like he's he was a contestant, he's done that. It's 511 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 2: been a minute, Like I would want kind of the 512 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 2: next thing for him. But I think Jason is very 513 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 2: beloved and great TV. 514 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:55,880 Speaker 1: That was a nice way of saying. I didn't want 515 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,680 Speaker 1: it to have a negative connotation and I didn't want 516 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,400 Speaker 1: to say, like, oh, the show's not good. I agree. 517 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: I think maybe that would just be a step back 518 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,360 Speaker 1: for him into something that got him to where he 519 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 1: was that he got, you know, in that relationship that 520 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 1: he broke away from. So maybe a fresh start somewhere else. 521 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: I agree. Thank you for the question. 522 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 2: Sandy is asking do you think the Bachelor franchise will 523 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 2: go off air sooner rather than later? 524 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: I don't know. It has a lot of legs left. 525 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 1: You know, Paradise is being not they're not saying being canceled, 526 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: but from producers and people that I've talked to, it's 527 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,920 Speaker 1: being put on the shelf. However you want to describe 528 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 1: that might be for a season might be for a year, 529 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: might be indefinitely, it might be canceled. But it's definitely 530 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 1: from what I've heard from production and people close to 531 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,919 Speaker 1: the show, that it's going to be on the shelf 532 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: this summer. The Bachelor, Bacheorette they're doing. Okay, Golden Bachelor 533 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,920 Speaker 1: gave it a little shot in the arm the ratings wise, 534 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 1: so it's still has some legs. You know, it's still 535 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 1: a viable show for ABC, and so, you know, for 536 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 1: the people that worked on the show. By the way, 537 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,199 Speaker 1: I hope it stays. Like I think it's good for 538 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 1: reality TV. I don't think it's good when shows go 539 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 1: away that were huge, huge, you know, parts of the industry, 540 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 1: and so I think it's important that the show can, 541 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 1: you know, constantly tries to redefine itself and keep going. 542 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:28,160 Speaker 1: But you know, the production's being cut down. They're trying 543 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: to save money. Obviously, they're cutting days, they're cutting episodes, 544 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,919 Speaker 1: they're cutting hours. That's never a great thing. You know, 545 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,880 Speaker 1: when you're doing great, you're expanding. When you're doing bad, 546 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 1: your contraction. 547 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 2: So I truly can't remember if we talked about this 548 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 2: when like we first did this podcast, and we kind 549 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:52,159 Speaker 2: of first talked about everything, but when all that stuff 550 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 2: was happening with you and with you know, were you 551 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 2: still going to be on the show or not and 552 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 2: all that. Yeah, you always I was always struck by 553 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,199 Speaker 2: and it's really part of what made me fall for 554 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:08,400 Speaker 2: you was that your priority was always like keeping the 555 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,400 Speaker 2: show going because you wanted all of those people who 556 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 2: were employed by the show to keep their jobs. Yeah, 557 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:17,640 Speaker 2: like that was always a priority for you. Was There's 558 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 2: hundreds of people people I know who work on the 559 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 2: show who have families, and you were always trying to 560 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 2: just keep the show going for that reason. 561 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, we traveled with these people intimately, and their families 562 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: usually came, you know, many times came with us. And 563 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: so the wives, the husbands, the kids. It's it was personal, 564 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 1: you know, we go back to the beginning of this 565 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 1: when we talked about it. You know, it's not personal, 566 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,639 Speaker 1: it's business. It was both for us, I mean, because 567 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: we all did spend so much time together. And so 568 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 1: I know a lot of the people that are still 569 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 1: on the show, and I wish them well, I wish 570 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,920 Speaker 1: them employment. You know, this is a job for them. 571 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: It's how they pay their rent, it's how they you know, 572 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,200 Speaker 1: pay for schools for their kids and food and et cetera. 573 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,679 Speaker 1: And so while it's important for the industry to you know, 574 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 1: I don't like for shows to fail. You know, when 575 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 1: you call for a show to fail, when you wish 576 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 1: it to fail, when you wish for people to lose 577 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,679 Speaker 1: their job. It's something that struck me when I was 578 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 1: going through this and people were calling for my job, 579 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 1: and I'm like, it really struck me. You don't know 580 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 1: me at all, you know nothing about me other than 581 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: what you've seen on TV, and you're calling for my 582 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 1: livelihood to end. That's a very very strong thing, and 583 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,639 Speaker 1: it's often when we're in the public eye, especially for 584 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: like football coaches. You know, the Super Bowl just happened, 585 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: and so people say, oh, you know the coach for 586 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys, they suck. He should be fired. Okay, 587 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 1: that man is going to lose his job. That means 588 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: they'll probably have to move, but it also means the 589 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 1: entire coaching staff twenty thirty other people are going to 590 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: lose their jobs. They're uprooted, pulling their kids out of schools, 591 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 1: finding a new city, finding a new job. So just 592 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, be careful when you wish for people 593 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 1: to lose their job, when you call for someone's job, 594 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 1: it is a it's a livelihood and it's a life. 595 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: And so you know, for me to come out and say, oh, 596 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 1: I'm you know, mad the way the Bachelor treated me, 597 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 1: I wish these I wish they would it would fail. 598 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 1: I don't wish for these people to fail because it's 599 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 1: their life. 600 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 2: Uh, you know, I'll read this one, I guess is 601 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 2: for myself. James said, Lauren, have you thought about starting 602 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 2: Roses and Rose again but not making it about the 603 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 2: Bachelor franchise? I did think about that many times. I 604 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 2: think I just was like, you know, what show do 605 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 2: I want. 606 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 3: To pick to do that? If I'm going to do it. 607 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 2: But and I had all these considerations, but the biggest 608 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,720 Speaker 2: thing for me was that I didn't want to create 609 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 2: as much as like Bachelor Nation was huge and I 610 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 2: loved being part of it, I didn't want to create 611 00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 2: something that relied solely on one other a show again 612 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 2: on another, on someone else's work, on something that was like, 613 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 2: you know, I just wanted I wanted to create a 614 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 2: bigger thing next, something that wasn't as much fun as 615 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 2: it was something that wasn't quite so small or niche. 616 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 2: And also, I you know, I've just been thinking so 617 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 2: much about wanting to create something on my own. Yeah, 618 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 2: like something that is not a recap or review of 619 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 2: what others are doing. Even though I very much enjoyed 620 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 2: doing it and had a lot of fun with it. 621 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 1: Well, you're incredible at it, and it's I still loved 622 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 1: it this day when people stop us at an airport 623 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 1: or whatever and talk about roses and rose and how 624 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 1: much joy it brought them. Because it did. But I also, 625 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 1: you know, you created something from scratch and obviously it 626 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 1: was a little bit intertwined in the Bachelor world. It's 627 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 1: okay to let that be what it was. And I 628 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 1: think that's important in life and business and relationships, is 629 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: that it's okay to celebrate that and remember that for 630 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 1: a good thing and then move on to the next 631 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 1: and count that as a big win. That's a big 632 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 1: W in your column, The Bachelor is a big W 633 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 1: in my column. That franchise. I don't need to recreate 634 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 1: that to be successful again. I can do something else. 635 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 1: And I think the same for you is that was 636 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 1: a huge victory.

But the work 657 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:40,720 Speaker 2: stuff like hasn't been as full throttle by choice, you know, 658 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 2: We've been like planning some seeds and doing some things, 659 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 2: but really took time to like get married and that 660 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 2: was amazing, and honestly, I had and look, I'm very 661 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 2: grateful I got to. But you know, I've been working 662 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 2: in news for more than ten years, and I did 663 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 2: years where I worked overnights for years, and news is 664 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 2: like a twenty four to seven job, and so I 665 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 2: didn't really mind like taking a little step back and 666 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 2: like kind of getting healthy and chilling out a little bit. 667 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 2: But now I'm excited for us to work on a 668 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 2: new project together and get the creativity going again. 669 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 1: I think it's important that your priorities are allowed to 670 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 1: change in life. For both of us, our careers were 671 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 1: our priority, and at times it's family, at times, it's work, 672 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 1: at times it's this. So I think it's important that 673 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 1: things can ebb and flow. For us. Last year, we 674 00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 1: put our family in our lives up top, and we 675 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 1: really made that a priority. Our weddings were obviously public, 676 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,440 Speaker 1: but that was just a small part of what was 677 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 1: important to us, with our kids and everything else that 678 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,960 Speaker 1: we really really dove into, and we were able to 679 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,480 Speaker 1: maintain and do this podcast and other things. Like you said, 680 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,240 Speaker 1: But I think for both of us it's safe to 681 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 1: say the fire is burning really hot right now to 682 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 1: get back and do something. And I would say, my 683 00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 1: priority is not only to get back and we are 684 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 1: going to do something very fun and that news will 685 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:09,920 Speaker 1: drop soon, but it's doing it with you. Being able 686 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 1: to do this now with the woman I love is 687 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:18,319 Speaker 1: so exciting for me personally. I get so pumped up 688 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,759 Speaker 1: about just thinking about that. I can't wait. 689 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're super lucky and that we get to work 690 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 2: together and spend all this time together and then take 691 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,360 Speaker 2: breaks when we want to for a mental health No, 692 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:33,279 Speaker 2: I agree, And I'm also really glad that like we're 693 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:34,960 Speaker 2: doing it in a way that we feel good about. 694 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 2: You know, there have been offers that have come your way, 695 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,879 Speaker 2: different asks for you to do different TV shows and 696 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 2: different ideas and other jobs that you know, I know 697 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,839 Speaker 2: you've said no too, and we've just known that that 698 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,839 Speaker 2: wasn't like the way we wanted to go. So again, 699 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:54,719 Speaker 2: I feel grateful that we were able to do that, 700 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,319 Speaker 2: and like, at the end of the day, you got 701 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,600 Speaker 2: to feel good about It's more important to feel good 702 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 2: about the job that you're taking then. 703 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 1: And we can choose to do that now, which is wonderful. 704 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,400 Speaker 1: And you know, without getting too much into it, because 705 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 1: we will do an entire podcast when this news drops. 706 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,000 Speaker 1: The press release will come out and then it will 707 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 1: do a you know, correlating a podcast and kind of 708 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:17,879 Speaker 1: give you the deats. But I will just say this, 709 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,680 Speaker 1: the Lord works in mysterious ways, and often you're working 710 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,920 Speaker 1: towards a goal and sometimes you don't even know what 711 00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:29,320 Speaker 1: that goal will eventually be. And we have been shown 712 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:33,879 Speaker 1: this way that's led to the most spectacular, wonderful thing 713 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,279 Speaker 1: that we are excited about, but we're proud of and 714 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,600 Speaker 1: fired up for.
