WEBVTT - Why Chris Doesn’t Watch the Bachelor Anymore

0:00:01.000 --> 0:00:06.000
<v Speaker 1>This is the most dramatic podcast ever and iHeartRadio podcast.

0:00:07.680 --> 0:00:09.879
<v Speaker 1>Chris Harrison and Lauren Zema coming to you from the

0:00:09.920 --> 0:00:13.520
<v Speaker 1>home office in Austin, Texas together again and it feels

0:00:13.560 --> 0:00:17.120
<v Speaker 1>so good. And the best part is we haven't done

0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:21.000
<v Speaker 1>this in a while. This episode is devoted to you

0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:25.560
<v Speaker 1>getting questions from you. We put out little feelers last

0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:28.600
<v Speaker 1>week about getting some questions from you, the listener, and

0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:30.440
<v Speaker 1>we haven't done this in a while, and it's always

0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:33.080
<v Speaker 1>it always ends up being one of our favorite episodes

0:00:33.120 --> 0:00:35.440
<v Speaker 1>because we end up in places we never thought we

0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:38.680
<v Speaker 1>were going to go. You have fielded these questions, correct.

0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:42.159
<v Speaker 2>I've done a little narrowing down and we're kind of

0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:45.720
<v Speaker 2>separating them into like work and personal, Like.

0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:48.280
<v Speaker 1>Okay, some sometimes our work is personal.

0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:52.919
<v Speaker 2>You know what is it ever? Not real quick? I

0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:58.320
<v Speaker 2>hate that phrase. It's just it's not personal. If you

0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:01.760
<v Speaker 2>everything to me about work is personal. Work is how

0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:06.679
<v Speaker 2>you feed your family, yourself, it's how you live if

0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:10.360
<v Speaker 2>you enjoy your job. Work is your creativity, your passion.

0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:13.480
<v Speaker 2>There's nothing impersonal to work about me.

0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:16.840
<v Speaker 1>And like it's just like this weird out that people invented.

0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:18.880
<v Speaker 1>It's like a line people invented You're right for.

0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:20.440
<v Speaker 3>When they're spiring or someone or something.

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:23.080
<v Speaker 1>It's not personal, man, it's just business. It's like you

0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:26.360
<v Speaker 1>can say, I know this is personal for you, but

0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:28.840
<v Speaker 1>it was a business decision we had to make. That's

0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:31.160
<v Speaker 1>the new line. Yeah, of course it's personal to you.

0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:33.959
<v Speaker 1>I just ruined your livelihood, but I don't even know

0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:36.560
<v Speaker 1>how you're paying your mortgage next month. It's it's not personal.

0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:39.119
<v Speaker 3>Okay, thanks, Yeah, so I'm abolishing that phrase.

0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:43.000
<v Speaker 2>But I do believe in sometimes the separation of church

0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:46.360
<v Speaker 2>and state, and in this case, we are separating a

0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:50.360
<v Speaker 2>business from personal questions real quick. So, like I said,

0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:51.920
<v Speaker 2>we've narrowed them down. We're going to start with the

0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:56.240
<v Speaker 2>personal and then we'll get into the business. So I'm

0:01:56.280 --> 0:02:00.040
<v Speaker 2>just going to dive right in. You know what, but

0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:04.000
<v Speaker 2>this is relevant. Claudia asked you two do a lot together.

0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:07.560
<v Speaker 2>How do you know when you need space? And that's true.

0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:10.880
<v Speaker 2>We'd spend a lot of time together between work and personal.

0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:14.880
<v Speaker 1>Let me brag on LZ and this will get to

0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:19.760
<v Speaker 1>your answer, Claudia of how you know, Lauren. And this

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:24.320
<v Speaker 1>happens in relationships, especially in marriage, when you are living

0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:28.440
<v Speaker 1>together and inseparable and your lives are intertwined. I have

0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:32.760
<v Speaker 1>been weighing down the scales of this relationship pretty heavy lately,

0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:37.639
<v Speaker 1>meaning the Harrison side of the family has been pretty needy.

0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:41.160
<v Speaker 1>There was a death in the family, there was a

0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:46.440
<v Speaker 1>medical emergency on top of that death, there was a wedding,

0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:49.600
<v Speaker 1>There was back to this medical emergency that needed to

0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:54.720
<v Speaker 1>be dealt with. It did, thank God. There was just

0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:59.160
<v Speaker 1>several things work, stuff that had to do predominantly with

0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:02.040
<v Speaker 1>me or my family, and LZ was there every step

0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:03.440
<v Speaker 1>of the way. God bless her. It's one of the

0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:06.360
<v Speaker 1>reasons I love her. She's so caring and just stood

0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:09.120
<v Speaker 1>by me through thick and thin. I leaned on her.

0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:12.160
<v Speaker 1>And it was not equal. You know how they say,

0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:14.080
<v Speaker 1>you know a marriage should be equal. It's not all

0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:15.840
<v Speaker 1>the time. Maybe at the end of the day, when

0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:18.040
<v Speaker 1>we total this up, it will be. But right now,

0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:21.240
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty four has not been fair. It has not

0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:25.480
<v Speaker 1>been equal. But I also saw that Lauren was getting

0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:27.920
<v Speaker 1>to the end of her rope and that she needed

0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:31.360
<v Speaker 1>a mental health break from my family and me, and

0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:33.560
<v Speaker 1>not in a bad way. She just needed to recharge

0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:35.760
<v Speaker 1>the batteries, and so we both felt it. We actually

0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:38.520
<v Speaker 1>discussed it, and you had a little getaway, and so

0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:41.560
<v Speaker 1>I think it's just something you feel. But also I

0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:44.560
<v Speaker 1>just wanted to say thank you, because my god, you've

0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:46.200
<v Speaker 1>been amazing so far this year.

0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:47.120
<v Speaker 3>Well thanks Sonny.

0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:48.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean, your family is my family, and I know

0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:52.480
<v Speaker 2>that you love my family, and if the situations were reversed,

0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:56.520
<v Speaker 2>you would have been doing all the same stuff. But yeah,

0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:59.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, I think there was just a lot going on,

0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:04.400
<v Speaker 2>and I said, I need like three days with my family,

0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:07.040
<v Speaker 2>with my mom and my sister where I can totally

0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:09.720
<v Speaker 2>be myself, where I can just completely and fully relax

0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:11.960
<v Speaker 2>as you kind of only can around the people who

0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:15.640
<v Speaker 2>know you the best. And you also like took those

0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:17.560
<v Speaker 2>through or three days I was gone and we're kind

0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:20.279
<v Speaker 2>of by yourself, like played golf, so we needed a

0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:20.960
<v Speaker 2>little recharge.

0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:23.680
<v Speaker 1>Went to a movie alone. Yeah I did. I did. Yeah,

0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:24.680
<v Speaker 1>I just took some me time.

0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:26.520
<v Speaker 3>And you know what we kind of do that day

0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:27.120
<v Speaker 3>and day out.

0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Really, I mean sometimes I'll say I'm going to go,

0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:33.119
<v Speaker 2>you know, go to home Goods for a little while

0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:35.159
<v Speaker 2>and just have some time alone, or I'm going to go,

0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:37.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, you go play golf. And I think we're

0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:41.080
<v Speaker 2>just really communicative about like and also okay with the

0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:43.359
<v Speaker 2>fact that we spend a lot of time together and

0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:46.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm never offended if you.

0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:48.600
<v Speaker 3>Go have a little time away from me and vice versa.

0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:51.680
<v Speaker 1>So hopefully that helps I. So the problem is there's

0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:56.039
<v Speaker 1>no definite moment, Mark. I think it's just something you

0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:58.200
<v Speaker 1>feel and you both need, and you just need to

0:04:58.200 --> 0:04:58.919
<v Speaker 1>be respectful of.

0:04:59.200 --> 0:04:59.960
<v Speaker 3>It's a good thing.

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, of course, it's a good thing, both to spend

0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:05.279
<v Speaker 2>time together and to spend time apart. It's all about

0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:08.760
<v Speaker 2>knowing how much each other needs and talking about it.

0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:10.440
<v Speaker 1>I missed the heck out of you, and I couldn't

0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:11.560
<v Speaker 1>wait to pick you up from the airport.

0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:13.240
<v Speaker 3>I know, I like missing you a little bit.

0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:16.680
<v Speaker 2>It's interesting because when I look back at our relationship

0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:20.640
<v Speaker 2>in the beginning, we spent very little time together when

0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:23.840
<v Speaker 2>we first started dating, like, we were both working a ton,

0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:27.000
<v Speaker 2>both traveling for work a ton, and then the pandemic

0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:28.080
<v Speaker 2>changed that really quickly.

0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:30.599
<v Speaker 1>It was something that I aspired to and you and

0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:34.160
<v Speaker 1>I ever never really talked about this. It's something I

0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:40.200
<v Speaker 1>spent so much time alone. I was lonely, Like I'll say,

0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:42.280
<v Speaker 1>like when I was shooting The Bachelor Bachelorett and all

0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:45.760
<v Speaker 1>those shows, I was pretty lonely. Yes, I was with Crewe,

0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:50.000
<v Speaker 1>I had friends on there. I spent time filling my time,

0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:52.720
<v Speaker 1>but I wasn't filling my soul and feeding my soul.

0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:55.920
<v Speaker 1>And I always thought, I'm really going to relish the

0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:58.640
<v Speaker 1>moment when I find somebody I can spend my life with.

0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:01.080
<v Speaker 1>At the time, I think maybe they would travel with

0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:02.919
<v Speaker 1>me on the show. Obviously I've left the show, but

0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:06.280
<v Speaker 1>I looked forward to having a relationship where I could

0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:09.040
<v Speaker 1>really spend some quality time with someone and be there

0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:12.599
<v Speaker 1>and likewise they would be there with me. I have

0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:16.119
<v Speaker 1>also not lost that feeling of needing a little alone time.

0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:19.480
<v Speaker 1>But I was so excited to find someone like you

0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:22.159
<v Speaker 1>in my life that I could really dive into and

0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:23.160
<v Speaker 1>they dive into me.

0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:27.120
<v Speaker 2>There's this moment that I always think of. And I

0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:29.279
<v Speaker 2>don't remember who season you were filming, but we hadn't

0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:31.600
<v Speaker 2>been dating that long, and you were in France, You're

0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:33.800
<v Speaker 2>in Paris. It was like, I think, right before Notre

0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:34.880
<v Speaker 2>Dame caught fire.

0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:38.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh yes, yeah, I was. I forget I'll think of

0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:40.680
<v Speaker 1>it when you're right, because I sent a picture of

0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:42.520
<v Speaker 1>me riding the bike in front of Notre Dame. It

0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:44.919
<v Speaker 1>was like a month or so before it caught on fire.

0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:47.880
<v Speaker 2>So what sticks out to me about that story and

0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:51.520
<v Speaker 2>why it's always stuck with me, is that you and

0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:53.440
<v Speaker 2>I had just started dating, and i'd interviewed you for

0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:55.960
<v Speaker 2>the show, but I didn't really know what your life

0:06:56.000 --> 0:07:00.279
<v Speaker 2>was while you were filming the show, and you were like, yeah,

0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:04.880
<v Speaker 2>I miss you. I'm just doing a bike ride alone

0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:06.280
<v Speaker 2>in Paris right now.

0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:11.200
<v Speaker 3>And I thought like, that's really sad. And I'm not

0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:12.640
<v Speaker 3>like saying your life was sad.

0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:15.920
<v Speaker 2>But you know, it looks from the outside you're in

0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:19.760
<v Speaker 2>Paris and you're working on this really cool job. But

0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:22.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, even though you had the crew with you,

0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:24.200
<v Speaker 2>they were filming something then you weren't part of that

0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:25.200
<v Speaker 2>scene in that moment.

0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:26.960
<v Speaker 1>I think it was Ari season because I think we

0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:29.120
<v Speaker 1>put the girls on the boat on the river. They

0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:31.040
<v Speaker 1>stayed on the river. Would that be wrong?

0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:33.960
<v Speaker 3>I went, we weren't dating during Ari nevermind, So I

0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:34.440
<v Speaker 3>don't know.

0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:37.440
<v Speaker 1>But I remember the dignificance. But yeah, I stayed at

0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:40.080
<v Speaker 1>the Hotel de Creon, uh there in the square, one

0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:43.560
<v Speaker 1>of my favorite hotels, and yeah, I was solow.

0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:47.560
<v Speaker 3>And it just stuck out to me that what really

0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:51.920
<v Speaker 3>matters is that you.

0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:52.560
<v Speaker 2>Know, you didn't have somebody to share that moment with.

0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:56.720
<v Speaker 2>So it doesn't matter where you are, what you're doing.

0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:58.880
<v Speaker 2>You know that that is what's most important in the end.

0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:02.360
<v Speaker 2>And so even in those times when we are like

0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:04.120
<v Speaker 2>if we have spent two, you know, a lot of

0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:08.440
<v Speaker 2>time together something, I'm just always grateful that I wouldn't,

0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:09.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'm just grateful that we have each other

0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:10.400
<v Speaker 2>to spend time with.

0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:12.280
<v Speaker 3>Period. I'd rather get a little sick of you than

0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:13.760
<v Speaker 3>miss you, you know.

0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:16.520
<v Speaker 1>And since then we've done Paris and it was a

0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:19.120
<v Speaker 1>whole Seriously, it was a whole different experience walking the

0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:21.320
<v Speaker 1>streets with you and you know, getting a bag at

0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:23.680
<v Speaker 1>and doing all the silly Parisian awesome things.

0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:26.480
<v Speaker 2>Are you making me wonder if I'm remembering that wrong? No, Like,

0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:28.480
<v Speaker 2>did you just tell me about the story later when

0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:29.280
<v Speaker 2>we started dating?

0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:31.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, it wasn't what we were taking I know

0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:31.440
<v Speaker 1>it was.

0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:46.959
<v Speaker 2>This is why court testimonies are of witnesses are unreliable. Okay,

0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:52.400
<v Speaker 2>another question from Debbie. Does your age difference ever come

0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:55.280
<v Speaker 2>into play? I guess she means, is it ever like

0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:56.760
<v Speaker 2>a factor in our lives?

0:08:57.480 --> 0:09:00.000
<v Speaker 1>I haven't felt it, have you, I really? I mean, sometimes,

0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:02.720
<v Speaker 1>of course they have. Well sometimes in conversations it comes

0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:06.960
<v Speaker 1>up like things that I lived through and things that

0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:10.560
<v Speaker 1>I witnessed and enjoyed some she wasn't even alive for,

0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:12.880
<v Speaker 1>So you know, it comes into play like that. I

0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:15.560
<v Speaker 1>don't think it's I've never thought of it as affecting

0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:16.560
<v Speaker 1>our relationship.

0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:18.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, I guess it depends on what you mean by

0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:23.200
<v Speaker 2>the term affecting. I mean, I like, does it ever

0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:26.719
<v Speaker 2>come into play every single day all the time. You

0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:30.480
<v Speaker 2>have kids in college that I would only be my

0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:35.280
<v Speaker 2>kids biologically if I was a young teenage mom. So yeah,

0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:37.320
<v Speaker 2>like there are age difference comes into play, you know.

0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:40.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm I came into your kids' lives and they were

0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:43.280
<v Speaker 2>like older kids. None of my friends my age have

0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:45.120
<v Speaker 2>kids in college.

0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:45.720
<v Speaker 1>That's true.

0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:48.920
<v Speaker 2>That's a factor we just felt with like some medical

0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:52.720
<v Speaker 2>stuff with you know, your family, Like your parents are

0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:56.720
<v Speaker 2>older than my parents. I mean that's a difference just

0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:59.319
<v Speaker 2>in the like kind of the discussions that we have

0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:01.760
<v Speaker 2>and kind of how we support family. Our families are

0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:05.120
<v Speaker 2>in different life stages, And I would think it comes

0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:07.679
<v Speaker 2>back the other way too, Like my little sister and

0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:09.680
<v Speaker 2>my little brother will probably have kids at some point,

0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:12.600
<v Speaker 2>and then you're going to have really young nieces and nephews.

0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:16.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that'll you know what, that'll maybe line up with

0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:17.920
<v Speaker 3>us becoming grandparents, which will be.

0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:22.520
<v Speaker 1>Good nephews, yeah, and grandkids kind of simultaneously.

0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:27.440
<v Speaker 2>God have the kids. I don't want to be like

0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:28.520
<v Speaker 2>a grandmother by forty.

0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:29.240
<v Speaker 3>I'm not ready.

0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:33.559
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I think it comes into factor in those ways,

0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:36.080
<v Speaker 2>but not in a way of like that it's a negative.

0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:40.720
<v Speaker 2>It's just different and it's something to you know, talk through,

0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:42.760
<v Speaker 2>but also like it can be a really good thing.

0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:45.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I loved that the kids were older when

0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:47.640
<v Speaker 2>I met them. I think I've done better with older

0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:48.360
<v Speaker 2>kids than I like.

0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:48.840
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:50.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I would have loved your kids if they

0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:55.440
<v Speaker 2>were younger. But it's been really cool to you know,

0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:58.480
<v Speaker 2>join in on their college life and all that. And

0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:01.360
<v Speaker 2>I kind of, you know, I don't know, I guess

0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:03.199
<v Speaker 2>got to miss out in some of the really tough

0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:06.240
<v Speaker 2>younger years of driving kids to soccer practice and all that.

0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:07.720
<v Speaker 3>I came in for some fun stuff.

0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:11.160
<v Speaker 1>Miss the diapers. That's the good part. Miss miss the diapers.

0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:12.360
<v Speaker 1>Here for the frat parties.

0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:14.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean, do you think it comes into play.

0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:19.080
<v Speaker 1>Probably not as much. Yeah, I don't think about it

0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:22.120
<v Speaker 1>very often. Sometimes it comes up again in our conversations.

0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:24.880
<v Speaker 1>But you also put you also have very eclectic old

0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:28.200
<v Speaker 1>taste music, movies and stuff like that, so it's like

0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:29.400
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of seamless.

0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:33.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think that the age difference is really

0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:37.079
<v Speaker 2>what it's all about. If you're embarking on a relationship

0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:38.880
<v Speaker 2>with someone who's not the same age as you, is

0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:41.640
<v Speaker 2>a maturity difference, because I also know a lot of

0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:45.120
<v Speaker 2>people who like are older than you and are super immature,

0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:48.680
<v Speaker 2>people who have never analyzed themselves, who have never like

0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:51.560
<v Speaker 2>let their life experiences affect them, who are stunted in

0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:54.560
<v Speaker 2>some ways. Or I know people who are young and

0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:59.240
<v Speaker 2>are incredibly mature. I mean, you know, people tell me,

0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:02.559
<v Speaker 2>I think at a simple level, people tell me I'm

0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:05.360
<v Speaker 2>an old soul a lot, and I think that you

0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:09.720
<v Speaker 2>are a very you know I probably the show, probably

0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:11.520
<v Speaker 2>The Bachelor, in a lot of ways, kept you, like

0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:15.600
<v Speaker 2>really young and vibrant, like you were always helping twenty

0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:16.720
<v Speaker 2>something's fine love.

0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:19.040
<v Speaker 1>Right, Well it was, I laughed. It was always days

0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:22.360
<v Speaker 1>to confuse, you know. The McConaughey line of you know,

0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:24.280
<v Speaker 1>I keep getting older, they stay the same age. It's

0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:26.800
<v Speaker 1>like the you know, the Bachelor Bacherette people stayed the

0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:29.360
<v Speaker 1>same age. They were always in their twenties and maybe

0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:32.040
<v Speaker 1>around thirty and that was about it. And so they

0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:34.680
<v Speaker 1>I always kind of got that that whatever that generation was,

0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:37.080
<v Speaker 1>for twenty years, I stayed in that generation.

0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:38.400
<v Speaker 3>How old do you feel?

0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:42.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh good question in my forties? Do you? Yeah?

0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:43.800
<v Speaker 3>I feel in my.

0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Fifties and it still doesn't bother me. But it baffles me. Yeah,

0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:52.360
<v Speaker 1>age doesn't bother me at all. But I definitely don't

0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:54.200
<v Speaker 1>feel and I think of in my fifties that the

0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:57.600
<v Speaker 1>next big milestone would be sixteen. I'm like, oh, wow,

0:12:58.040 --> 0:12:59.080
<v Speaker 1>that's not a thing.

0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:00.680
<v Speaker 3>Are gonna wow?

0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:05.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean someday hopefully, knock on wood. But I definitely

0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:07.000
<v Speaker 1>feel like I am still. I don't feel like when

0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:08.480
<v Speaker 1>people go, oh, I feel like I'm in my twenties,

0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:09.320
<v Speaker 1>as I don't.

0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:12.960
<v Speaker 2>And thank god, Yeah, people like I knew a lot

0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:14.440
<v Speaker 2>of people had an issue with turning thirty.

0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:15.280
<v Speaker 3>I never did.

0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:17.760
<v Speaker 2>I was like so excited for my thirties and I've

0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:22.600
<v Speaker 2>loved my thirties so much. I'm thirty six. I feel

0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:25.360
<v Speaker 2>early thirties, and I think it's because of the pandemic.

0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:28.360
<v Speaker 2>I feel like the pandemic was this weird time stop

0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:32.080
<v Speaker 2>that like threw off life and threw off my like

0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:34.520
<v Speaker 2>where every I thought everything was going to be you

0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:35.000
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean?

0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:35.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, totally.

0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:36.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:38.839
<v Speaker 2>So like you're like in your early forties and I'm

0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:40.880
<v Speaker 2>in our early thirties, our age gap isn't even that big.

0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:42.840
<v Speaker 3>That's right, exactly, Okay.

0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:49.199
<v Speaker 2>Barry asks Chris, how would you let Lauren know if

0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:51.199
<v Speaker 2>you didn't like one of her friends? And she says,

0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:53.560
<v Speaker 2>and vice versa for Elsie. So she wants to know,

0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:56.760
<v Speaker 2>how would we tell somebody if we didn't like their friends?

0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:58.000
<v Speaker 3>And you know, have we done that?

0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:02.480
<v Speaker 1>I would say blunt, but that has that has an

0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:04.959
<v Speaker 1>interesting connotation to it. When you say blunt, you think

0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:07.520
<v Speaker 1>it's like a no holds barred I'm just gonna call

0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:10.600
<v Speaker 1>it like it is, and you know, her feelings be damned.

0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:14.320
<v Speaker 1>I would be blunt with your feelings very much taken

0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:17.040
<v Speaker 1>into consideration of you've chosen this person to be in

0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:20.200
<v Speaker 1>your life. You clearly care about them, they mean something

0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:22.360
<v Speaker 1>to you, or we wouldn't be having this discussion about

0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:24.920
<v Speaker 1>them being a friend, But I also think it's important

0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:28.640
<v Speaker 1>to share your perspective on that person. So I guess

0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:32.680
<v Speaker 1>if politely blunt is a phrase, that's how I would be,

0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:35.760
<v Speaker 1>And that's actually how I have been about someone in

0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:38.720
<v Speaker 1>your life that was close to you. So you know,

0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:41.040
<v Speaker 1>I've shared some of my feelings about that person.

0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:42.880
<v Speaker 3>And I think I've done the same.

0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:46.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and I was, and you have done the same

0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:49.040
<v Speaker 1>for me. You were, you were bluntly polite as well.

0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:51.560
<v Speaker 1>You took my you know, you got to take the

0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:56.040
<v Speaker 1>person's feelings into consideration. If I just like, even if

0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:58.360
<v Speaker 1>you just jump on me, it's like a teenage kid, right,

0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:01.160
<v Speaker 1>We're immediately going to get our de up. We're immediately

0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:04.040
<v Speaker 1>going to defend that person. And you might even go

0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:07.400
<v Speaker 1>the opposite direction and pull them even closer to you,

0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:08.120
<v Speaker 1>and you don't want that.

0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:10.640
<v Speaker 2>I also think, like, are you coming from a place

0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:15.080
<v Speaker 2>of worrying about your partner right? That person's effect on them?

0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:17.160
<v Speaker 2>Like what this means in their lives? I mean, to me,

0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:21.240
<v Speaker 2>our friends should always make us better, and who someone

0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:24.840
<v Speaker 2>you're dating surrounds themselves with is like the biggest indicator

0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:29.280
<v Speaker 2>to me of so many things, Like I you know,

0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:31.400
<v Speaker 2>I look back at other relationships, and I should have

0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:34.960
<v Speaker 2>noticed more that those people didn't have a great group

0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:37.640
<v Speaker 2>of people around them. And you know, if someone you're

0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:39.800
<v Speaker 2>dating is hanging out with people who are like behaving

0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:41.560
<v Speaker 2>in a certain kind of way, let me tell you,

0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:43.440
<v Speaker 2>they're probably doing the same thing, even if they're not

0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:46.960
<v Speaker 2>telling you. So I think that's indicative.

0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:49.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't know if if it's actually true. The

0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:51.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, you're the sum total of the five closest

0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:54.680
<v Speaker 1>people in your world. But it's definitely has an impact.

0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:59.640
<v Speaker 1>It's definitely relative, you know, definitely relates and is important

0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:02.760
<v Speaker 1>too who you surround yourself with. And I agree there

0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:05.240
<v Speaker 1>is a difference too of I just don't love this person.

0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:08.320
<v Speaker 1>They're not great as opposed to I think they're harming you.

0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:11.080
<v Speaker 1>I think they are bad for you. Yeah, they're bringing

0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:12.880
<v Speaker 1>you down. That's I think there's a difference there. You

0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:14.560
<v Speaker 1>might have to be a little stronger if that was

0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:15.000
<v Speaker 1>the case.

0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:19.080
<v Speaker 2>This is a fun question from another Lauren, did anyone

0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:20.920
<v Speaker 2>get cut off from the bar at your wedding?

0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:24.640
<v Speaker 1>We all did a true story. We all got cut off,

0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:27.440
<v Speaker 1>like like we were all at the waste Management golf

0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:29.760
<v Speaker 1>tournament this last weekend. In Phoenix.

0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:35.680
<v Speaker 2>We ran out of tequila, the Sambre tequila, which we love.

0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:38.800
<v Speaker 2>If you haven't tried it, we love Samprey tequila.

0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:41.480
<v Speaker 1>Go to Tequila Samprey. It might be hard to find,

0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:44.440
<v Speaker 1>go online, ask your liquor store for it. It's really good.

0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:46.520
<v Speaker 3>And it was so good that we literally ran out.

0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and we had a bunch. I mean we had

0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:52.280
<v Speaker 1>a bunch. Now, there was a faux pas. I brought

0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:56.360
<v Speaker 1>kind of an emergency box of tequila and I put

0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:59.240
<v Speaker 1>it in the grooms room and I told a couple

0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:02.280
<v Speaker 1>of people, Hey, should we run out, which I don't

0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:06.160
<v Speaker 1>think we will because we have a massive amount, go

0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:08.800
<v Speaker 1>back in there and grab a few extra bottles, and

0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:12.359
<v Speaker 1>somehow we ran out. Nobody got the message. I didn't know,

0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:16.560
<v Speaker 1>and but I think it was probably for the best.

0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:19.399
<v Speaker 1>I think we were all pretty pickled and having a

0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:21.479
<v Speaker 1>good time. I don't think what we anticipated is how

0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:24.239
<v Speaker 1>many shots would be going out the door, and that

0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:26.160
<v Speaker 1>really burns through the supply pretty quick.

0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:28.480
<v Speaker 2>It could have taken a turn. Yes, so I think

0:17:28.480 --> 0:17:29.520
<v Speaker 2>it was good that we ran out.

0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:33.119
<v Speaker 1>We had we had the wonderful TIFFs, treats, cookies, and

0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:35.359
<v Speaker 1>everyone kind of leaned into the milk and cookies and

0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:38.639
<v Speaker 1>less tequila towards the end of the night probably saved

0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:39.240
<v Speaker 1>a lot of us.

0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:42.439
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I know there were people and it was

0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:45.840
<v Speaker 2>just like it wasn't bachelor people, but like there was

0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:48.680
<v Speaker 2>like a breakup that happened at the wedding like there.

0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:50.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they're like some stuff went down. So I

0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:53.080
<v Speaker 2>think that running out of the tepical wedding stuff.

0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:55.439
<v Speaker 3>You know, yeah, you gotta have some stories out of.

0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:58.440
<v Speaker 1>It, but stuff they kind of filtered back to us,

0:17:58.720 --> 0:17:59.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, weeks later.

0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:02.320
<v Speaker 2>If you haven't tried at cm bray s I E

0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:05.080
<v Speaker 2>M P R E so good, you'll run out of it.

0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:07.560
<v Speaker 1>So that's the taglines. Yeah we did too.

0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:10.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to transition. Let's get to work. Here's some

0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:14.120
<v Speaker 2>questions a little more leaning into our work lives. Number one,

0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:16.680
<v Speaker 2>who is a dream guest you'd like to have on

0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:21.280
<v Speaker 2>the podcast? From Isa is the question.

0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:24.320
<v Speaker 1>Do you have somebody in mind? I mean my dream

0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:28.119
<v Speaker 1>dream guest, dream dream bottom.

0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:29.520
<v Speaker 3>Oh you love you too.

0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:34.840
<v Speaker 1>If I getting into the craziness, I actually would love

0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:38.000
<v Speaker 1>And this is not our show and so it's not

0:18:38.040 --> 0:18:41.560
<v Speaker 1>really ever political. I would love to have all of

0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:45.520
<v Speaker 1>the presidential candidates on I would love to have RFK.

0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:47.359
<v Speaker 1>I would love to have Biden. I would love to

0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:49.879
<v Speaker 1>have Trump. I would love to have vi Vaiku. I

0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:52.439
<v Speaker 1>would love to have I would love to do a

0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:54.960
<v Speaker 1>series of shows with all the candidates.

0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:56.760
<v Speaker 3>Oh wow, put them in the hot seat.

0:18:57.040 --> 0:19:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Yes, that to me would be fascinating. I love that

0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:03.240
<v Speaker 1>very much. It's very interesting to me. I followed the

0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:07.040
<v Speaker 1>politics and I love listening to these people speak and spin, and.

0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:08.960
<v Speaker 3>You do have that newsy side to you.

0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:12.240
<v Speaker 1>I would really enjoy doing that. It's twenty twenty four

0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:14.800
<v Speaker 1>election year. Maybe we'll start doing that.

0:19:17.040 --> 0:19:21.440
<v Speaker 2>Listen, President Trump, you did speak about the Bachelor's ratings.

0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:23.960
<v Speaker 2>Remember when he talked about the Bachelor during the pandemic. Yes,

0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:27.240
<v Speaker 2>he was like, these conferences are getting ratings like the

0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:29.840
<v Speaker 2>Bachelor big, bigger than the Bachelor.

0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:31.920
<v Speaker 1>And they're like, no, no, no, sir, you're you're wrong.

0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:36.240
<v Speaker 1>Actually we dwarfed you. And honestly, it wouldn't be to

0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:38.119
<v Speaker 1>like give you my opinion. I would just love to

0:19:38.960 --> 0:19:40.040
<v Speaker 1>let these people talk.

0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:45.800
<v Speaker 2>Here's a one that I have never asked you from Kristen.

0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:49.640
<v Speaker 2>How would you feel if your kids, Josh or Taylor

0:19:50.200 --> 0:19:51.760
<v Speaker 2>wanted to go on a reality show.

0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:53.840
<v Speaker 1>I've talked a little bit about this because people often,

0:19:54.359 --> 0:19:57.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, when they would ask about my daughter, it'd

0:19:57.040 --> 0:19:58.520
<v Speaker 1>be like, would you ever let her be on the

0:19:58.520 --> 0:20:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Bachelor Bachelrette back in the day, And the answer was, yes,

0:20:02.119 --> 0:20:06.520
<v Speaker 1>look I have. And now we have raised these kids

0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:10.719
<v Speaker 1>and I think we've instilled in them the values, the confidence,

0:20:11.480 --> 0:20:16.720
<v Speaker 1>the wisdom go do you you make your own decisions? Work,

0:20:16.840 --> 0:20:21.240
<v Speaker 1>play life. You know who you are responsible for and

0:20:21.280 --> 0:20:24.840
<v Speaker 1>responsible to now, and so I totally trust them to

0:20:24.880 --> 0:20:29.400
<v Speaker 1>make good decisions. And if that involved reality TV, by

0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:31.120
<v Speaker 1>the way, I don't think it ever will, because neither

0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:33.679
<v Speaker 1>one of them really seem inclined to do so. But

0:20:33.960 --> 0:20:36.360
<v Speaker 1>sure knock yourself out from Ashley.

0:20:36.359 --> 0:20:39.400
<v Speaker 2>Does the Bachelor Bachelorette actually get to pick who goes

0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:42.199
<v Speaker 2>on the one on ones? Or does production shoes You've

0:20:42.240 --> 0:20:43.800
<v Speaker 2>been asked this many times.

0:20:43.520 --> 0:20:46.119
<v Speaker 1>Both you know it's it's You can even put a

0:20:46.160 --> 0:20:48.320
<v Speaker 1>percentage on it that it's fifty to fifty because it

0:20:48.359 --> 0:20:52.720
<v Speaker 1>depends on the season, depends on the storyline. There's a

0:20:52.880 --> 0:20:57.439
<v Speaker 1>lot of bartering and negotiating that goes on with the

0:20:57.440 --> 0:21:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Bachelor Bacherette. It depends on if we needed a storyline

0:21:03.280 --> 0:21:06.199
<v Speaker 1>to be pushed, or sometimes it was we need a

0:21:06.200 --> 0:21:08.840
<v Speaker 1>girl to be exposed and she's not good for you,

0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:10.040
<v Speaker 1>and so you need to go on to one on

0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:12.760
<v Speaker 1>one dates. You can see that. So sometimes you're reluctant

0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:15.280
<v Speaker 1>because you're like, well, I'm not really into Lauren, but

0:21:15.359 --> 0:21:16.919
<v Speaker 1>we wanted you to go on a date because you

0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:19.119
<v Speaker 1>needed to make a decision. Because these people can't just

0:21:19.160 --> 0:21:21.439
<v Speaker 1>stay on the show. So sometimes we would do it

0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:24.560
<v Speaker 1>for drama, sometimes for the best interest of the Bachelor batcherette.

0:21:24.760 --> 0:21:28.000
<v Speaker 1>So a lot went into play week by week. Who

0:21:28.000 --> 0:21:31.439
<v Speaker 1>went on dates, why, who was on the group dates together,

0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:34.720
<v Speaker 1>the two on ones, et cetera. So there's not really

0:21:35.240 --> 0:21:38.080
<v Speaker 1>a clearcut percentage on that, but definitely it goes back

0:21:38.119 --> 0:21:38.920
<v Speaker 1>and forth.

0:21:39.200 --> 0:21:44.720
<v Speaker 2>From Amy, do you not watch The Bachelor now because

0:21:44.960 --> 0:21:45.800
<v Speaker 2>it triggers you?

0:21:47.720 --> 0:21:53.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if that is fair. The reason I

0:21:53.080 --> 0:21:56.520
<v Speaker 1>don't watch is it was my job, it was my livelihood,

0:21:56.560 --> 0:21:58.479
<v Speaker 1>and it was really my life. I mean that's what

0:21:58.560 --> 0:22:02.320
<v Speaker 1>I did three sixty five. I was involved in that show.

0:22:02.520 --> 0:22:04.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there really wasn't a day that went by

0:22:05.160 --> 0:22:08.479
<v Speaker 1>where I wasn't doing something for it. Maybe Christmas, Christmas

0:22:08.520 --> 0:22:11.879
<v Speaker 1>Eve or something, but it was really a very intensive

0:22:11.960 --> 0:22:13.959
<v Speaker 1>job that took up a lot of my life and

0:22:14.000 --> 0:22:17.600
<v Speaker 1>my emotion and my energy. And so to watch it

0:22:17.680 --> 0:22:24.920
<v Speaker 1>now it just I watched it back then, not really

0:22:24.960 --> 0:22:27.639
<v Speaker 1>for enjoyment. I wasn't really watching it because it was

0:22:27.680 --> 0:22:29.240
<v Speaker 1>fun for me. I was watching it because it was

0:22:29.280 --> 0:22:31.639
<v Speaker 1>my life and my job and it's what I needed

0:22:31.680 --> 0:22:34.560
<v Speaker 1>to do. So it just doesn't make sense because now

0:22:34.600 --> 0:22:38.000
<v Speaker 1>I know how the sausage is made, I know how

0:22:38.040 --> 0:22:41.800
<v Speaker 1>it shot. I could probably tell you by the shot

0:22:42.119 --> 0:22:45.520
<v Speaker 1>who's directing that day, who the photographer is, maybe even

0:22:45.520 --> 0:22:48.440
<v Speaker 1>who audio is. I'm looking at the art department, how

0:22:48.480 --> 0:22:50.520
<v Speaker 1>the room is set up. I mean, I've seen it all.

0:22:50.880 --> 0:22:52.720
<v Speaker 1>So once you kind of seen behind the curtain and

0:22:52.760 --> 0:22:56.160
<v Speaker 1>you helped him that curtain, it just doesn't It doesn't

0:22:56.200 --> 0:22:58.160
<v Speaker 1>bring me the enjoyment that other shows do.

0:22:58.880 --> 0:23:01.199
<v Speaker 2>Right, well, yeah, when you were still on, I mean

0:23:01.200 --> 0:23:03.840
<v Speaker 2>you watched it so you knew, like for interviews and

0:23:03.880 --> 0:23:05.960
<v Speaker 2>like you know exactly, Yeah.

0:23:05.800 --> 0:23:07.119
<v Speaker 1>I would get it. I would get it was a

0:23:07.440 --> 0:23:10.119
<v Speaker 1>screener and I would quickly go through it because obviously

0:23:10.200 --> 0:23:12.359
<v Speaker 1>I'd already know. I knew what happened because I was

0:23:12.680 --> 0:23:14.760
<v Speaker 1>on the date or what have you. And so Yeah,

0:23:14.760 --> 0:23:16.600
<v Speaker 1>I would watch it to see what the editors came

0:23:16.720 --> 0:23:20.920
<v Speaker 1>up with and the storyline we were pushing, and yeah,

0:23:20.920 --> 0:23:23.159
<v Speaker 1>so a lot went into it that it wasn't just

0:23:23.280 --> 0:23:24.440
<v Speaker 1>for my own enjoyment.

0:23:36.119 --> 0:23:39.840
<v Speaker 2>Liz asks, can we start a petition to make Jason

0:23:39.880 --> 0:23:42.800
<v Speaker 2>Tarctick the Bachelor or would you not want.

0:23:42.640 --> 0:23:43.120
<v Speaker 3>That for him?

0:23:43.960 --> 0:23:47.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh? That's a tough question, because if I'm being honest,

0:23:48.119 --> 0:23:50.240
<v Speaker 1>I think it's I think it would be he would

0:23:50.280 --> 0:23:51.800
<v Speaker 1>be great at it. I think he would be a

0:23:51.960 --> 0:23:55.240
<v Speaker 1>very good bachelor. And I'm doing air quotes that you

0:23:55.280 --> 0:23:58.239
<v Speaker 1>can't see because it's a podcast. Figure, I don't know

0:23:58.280 --> 0:24:02.080
<v Speaker 1>if that that show per se it was good would

0:24:02.119 --> 0:24:04.760
<v Speaker 1>be good for him. I think a show like that

0:24:04.840 --> 0:24:08.600
<v Speaker 1>where he is finding love publicly could work for him.

0:24:09.640 --> 0:24:13.919
<v Speaker 1>Maybe a different show, whatever that may be. What do

0:24:13.960 --> 0:24:15.760
<v Speaker 1>you think? You know Jason as well as I do.

0:24:16.960 --> 0:24:20.000
<v Speaker 2>I love Jason, I've always loved I think Jason's a

0:24:20.000 --> 0:24:20.440
<v Speaker 2>great guy.

0:24:20.560 --> 0:24:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:24:21.080 --> 0:24:23.160
<v Speaker 2>I think that he's really in a place where he's

0:24:23.240 --> 0:24:25.960
<v Speaker 2>like ready, I mean, he talks a lot about when

0:24:25.960 --> 0:24:27.320
<v Speaker 2>we've talked to him, he talks a lot about like

0:24:27.680 --> 0:24:29.840
<v Speaker 2>the age that he's at and like, you know, he

0:24:29.840 --> 0:24:33.240
<v Speaker 2>he knows that he wants to find something really real.

0:24:34.600 --> 0:24:37.800
<v Speaker 1>And so yeah, he's got that ripped revenge pod.

0:24:37.680 --> 0:24:41.280
<v Speaker 2>Gaing the Bachelor feels like it would be like maybe

0:24:41.280 --> 0:24:44.720
<v Speaker 2>a step backwards to me, like, yeah, you know, it's

0:24:44.800 --> 0:24:46.960
<v Speaker 2>like he's he was a contestant, he's done that. It's

0:24:47.000 --> 0:24:48.679
<v Speaker 2>been a minute, Like I would want kind of the

0:24:48.720 --> 0:24:52.520
<v Speaker 2>next thing for him. But I think Jason is very

0:24:52.560 --> 0:24:54.280
<v Speaker 2>beloved and great TV.

0:24:54.480 --> 0:24:55.880
<v Speaker 1>That was a nice way of saying. I didn't want

0:24:55.880 --> 0:24:57.680
<v Speaker 1>it to have a negative connotation and I didn't want

0:24:57.680 --> 0:25:00.400
<v Speaker 1>to say, like, oh, the show's not good. I agree.

0:25:00.440 --> 0:25:02.040
<v Speaker 1>I think maybe that would just be a step back

0:25:02.119 --> 0:25:05.360
<v Speaker 1>for him into something that got him to where he

0:25:05.480 --> 0:25:07.520
<v Speaker 1>was that he got, you know, in that relationship that

0:25:07.560 --> 0:25:10.240
<v Speaker 1>he broke away from. So maybe a fresh start somewhere else.

0:25:10.400 --> 0:25:12.280
<v Speaker 1>I agree. Thank you for the question.

0:25:13.320 --> 0:25:16.920
<v Speaker 2>Sandy is asking do you think the Bachelor franchise will

0:25:16.960 --> 0:25:19.119
<v Speaker 2>go off air sooner rather than later?

0:25:20.880 --> 0:25:26.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. It has a lot of legs left.

0:25:26.160 --> 0:25:32.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, Paradise is being not they're not saying being canceled,

0:25:32.200 --> 0:25:35.560
<v Speaker 1>but from producers and people that I've talked to, it's

0:25:35.600 --> 0:25:38.920
<v Speaker 1>being put on the shelf. However you want to describe

0:25:38.960 --> 0:25:41.520
<v Speaker 1>that might be for a season might be for a year,

0:25:41.680 --> 0:25:44.760
<v Speaker 1>might be indefinitely, it might be canceled. But it's definitely

0:25:45.080 --> 0:25:48.040
<v Speaker 1>from what I've heard from production and people close to

0:25:48.080 --> 0:25:50.919
<v Speaker 1>the show, that it's going to be on the shelf

0:25:50.960 --> 0:25:57.000
<v Speaker 1>this summer. The Bachelor, Bacheorette they're doing. Okay, Golden Bachelor

0:25:57.000 --> 0:25:58.920
<v Speaker 1>gave it a little shot in the arm the ratings wise,

0:25:58.960 --> 0:26:01.520
<v Speaker 1>so it's still has some legs. You know, it's still

0:26:01.560 --> 0:26:05.280
<v Speaker 1>a viable show for ABC, and so, you know, for

0:26:05.320 --> 0:26:06.960
<v Speaker 1>the people that worked on the show. By the way,

0:26:07.359 --> 0:26:09.199
<v Speaker 1>I hope it stays. Like I think it's good for

0:26:09.280 --> 0:26:12.240
<v Speaker 1>reality TV. I don't think it's good when shows go

0:26:12.359 --> 0:26:16.920
<v Speaker 1>away that were huge, huge, you know, parts of the industry,

0:26:17.440 --> 0:26:20.280
<v Speaker 1>and so I think it's important that the show can,

0:26:20.359 --> 0:26:23.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, constantly tries to redefine itself and keep going.

0:26:23.480 --> 0:26:28.160
<v Speaker 1>But you know, the production's being cut down. They're trying

0:26:28.160 --> 0:26:30.840
<v Speaker 1>to save money. Obviously, they're cutting days, they're cutting episodes,

0:26:31.040 --> 0:26:34.919
<v Speaker 1>they're cutting hours. That's never a great thing. You know,

0:26:35.400 --> 0:26:37.880
<v Speaker 1>when you're doing great, you're expanding. When you're doing bad,

0:26:37.920 --> 0:26:38.560
<v Speaker 1>your contraction.

0:26:39.520 --> 0:26:41.600
<v Speaker 2>So I truly can't remember if we talked about this

0:26:42.520 --> 0:26:46.440
<v Speaker 2>when like we first did this podcast, and we kind

0:26:46.480 --> 0:26:52.159
<v Speaker 2>of first talked about everything, but when all that stuff

0:26:52.240 --> 0:26:56.800
<v Speaker 2>was happening with you and with you know, were you

0:26:56.840 --> 0:26:58.000
<v Speaker 2>still going to be on the show or not and

0:26:58.040 --> 0:27:01.440
<v Speaker 2>all that. Yeah, you always I was always struck by

0:27:01.600 --> 0:27:04.199
<v Speaker 2>and it's really part of what made me fall for

0:27:04.280 --> 0:27:08.400
<v Speaker 2>you was that your priority was always like keeping the

0:27:08.440 --> 0:27:11.400
<v Speaker 2>show going because you wanted all of those people who

0:27:11.400 --> 0:27:13.359
<v Speaker 2>were employed by the show to keep their jobs. Yeah,

0:27:13.400 --> 0:27:17.640
<v Speaker 2>like that was always a priority for you. Was There's

0:27:17.760 --> 0:27:19.760
<v Speaker 2>hundreds of people people I know who work on the

0:27:19.800 --> 0:27:23.879
<v Speaker 2>show who have families, and you were always trying to

0:27:24.600 --> 0:27:26.720
<v Speaker 2>just keep the show going for that reason.

0:27:27.119 --> 0:27:30.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we traveled with these people intimately, and their families

0:27:30.640 --> 0:27:32.800
<v Speaker 1>usually came, you know, many times came with us. And

0:27:32.840 --> 0:27:38.320
<v Speaker 1>so the wives, the husbands, the kids. It's it was personal,

0:27:38.440 --> 0:27:40.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, we go back to the beginning of this

0:27:40.440 --> 0:27:43.080
<v Speaker 1>when we talked about it. You know, it's not personal,

0:27:43.080 --> 0:27:45.639
<v Speaker 1>it's business. It was both for us, I mean, because

0:27:45.640 --> 0:27:48.280
<v Speaker 1>we all did spend so much time together. And so

0:27:48.400 --> 0:27:49.840
<v Speaker 1>I know a lot of the people that are still

0:27:49.840 --> 0:27:53.080
<v Speaker 1>on the show, and I wish them well, I wish

0:27:53.119 --> 0:27:55.920
<v Speaker 1>them employment. You know, this is a job for them.

0:27:55.960 --> 0:27:58.240
<v Speaker 1>It's how they pay their rent, it's how they you know,

0:27:58.320 --> 0:28:01.200
<v Speaker 1>pay for schools for their kids and food and et cetera.

0:28:01.320 --> 0:28:04.679
<v Speaker 1>And so while it's important for the industry to you know,

0:28:04.800 --> 0:28:07.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't like for shows to fail. You know, when

0:28:07.720 --> 0:28:09.960
<v Speaker 1>you call for a show to fail, when you wish

0:28:09.960 --> 0:28:12.200
<v Speaker 1>it to fail, when you wish for people to lose

0:28:12.240 --> 0:28:15.679
<v Speaker 1>their job. It's something that struck me when I was

0:28:15.680 --> 0:28:17.800
<v Speaker 1>going through this and people were calling for my job,

0:28:17.840 --> 0:28:20.879
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, it really struck me. You don't know

0:28:21.040 --> 0:28:25.200
<v Speaker 1>me at all, you know nothing about me other than

0:28:25.200 --> 0:28:27.560
<v Speaker 1>what you've seen on TV, and you're calling for my

0:28:27.720 --> 0:28:32.960
<v Speaker 1>livelihood to end. That's a very very strong thing, and

0:28:32.960 --> 0:28:35.639
<v Speaker 1>it's often when we're in the public eye, especially for

0:28:35.680 --> 0:28:37.800
<v Speaker 1>like football coaches. You know, the Super Bowl just happened,

0:28:37.800 --> 0:28:40.560
<v Speaker 1>and so people say, oh, you know the coach for

0:28:40.560 --> 0:28:44.760
<v Speaker 1>the Dallas Cowboys, they suck. He should be fired. Okay,

0:28:44.920 --> 0:28:47.720
<v Speaker 1>that man is going to lose his job. That means

0:28:47.720 --> 0:28:49.880
<v Speaker 1>they'll probably have to move, but it also means the

0:28:50.000 --> 0:28:53.680
<v Speaker 1>entire coaching staff twenty thirty other people are going to

0:28:53.720 --> 0:28:57.240
<v Speaker 1>lose their jobs. They're uprooted, pulling their kids out of schools,

0:28:57.520 --> 0:29:00.360
<v Speaker 1>finding a new city, finding a new job. So just

0:29:00.920 --> 0:29:03.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying, be careful when you wish for people

0:29:03.640 --> 0:29:06.600
<v Speaker 1>to lose their job, when you call for someone's job,

0:29:06.800 --> 0:29:08.720
<v Speaker 1>it is a it's a livelihood and it's a life.

0:29:08.760 --> 0:29:11.080
<v Speaker 1>And so you know, for me to come out and say, oh,

0:29:11.200 --> 0:29:13.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm you know, mad the way the Bachelor treated me,

0:29:13.600 --> 0:29:15.520
<v Speaker 1>I wish these I wish they would it would fail.

0:29:15.880 --> 0:29:18.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't wish for these people to fail because it's

0:29:18.360 --> 0:29:18.840
<v Speaker 1>their life.

0:29:20.000 --> 0:29:21.880
<v Speaker 2>Uh, you know, I'll read this one, I guess is

0:29:21.880 --> 0:29:24.680
<v Speaker 2>for myself. James said, Lauren, have you thought about starting

0:29:24.760 --> 0:29:27.200
<v Speaker 2>Roses and Rose again but not making it about the

0:29:27.240 --> 0:29:32.920
<v Speaker 2>Bachelor franchise? I did think about that many times. I

0:29:32.960 --> 0:29:38.440
<v Speaker 2>think I just was like, you know, what show do

0:29:38.520 --> 0:29:39.080
<v Speaker 2>I want.

0:29:38.920 --> 0:29:41.120
<v Speaker 3>To pick to do that? If I'm going to do it.

0:29:41.360 --> 0:29:45.000
<v Speaker 2>But and I had all these considerations, but the biggest

0:29:45.000 --> 0:29:48.720
<v Speaker 2>thing for me was that I didn't want to create

0:29:49.400 --> 0:29:54.040
<v Speaker 2>as much as like Bachelor Nation was huge and I

0:29:54.080 --> 0:29:56.160
<v Speaker 2>loved being part of it, I didn't want to create

0:29:56.200 --> 0:30:01.120
<v Speaker 2>something that relied solely on one other a show again

0:30:01.200 --> 0:30:04.440
<v Speaker 2>on another, on someone else's work, on something that was like,

0:30:05.000 --> 0:30:09.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, I just wanted I wanted to create a

0:30:09.600 --> 0:30:14.120
<v Speaker 2>bigger thing next, something that wasn't as much fun as

0:30:14.120 --> 0:30:18.240
<v Speaker 2>it was something that wasn't quite so small or niche.

0:30:18.840 --> 0:30:22.360
<v Speaker 2>And also, I you know, I've just been thinking so

0:30:22.440 --> 0:30:27.880
<v Speaker 2>much about wanting to create something on my own. Yeah,

0:30:28.800 --> 0:30:32.920
<v Speaker 2>like something that is not a recap or review of

0:30:32.960 --> 0:30:35.600
<v Speaker 2>what others are doing. Even though I very much enjoyed

0:30:35.640 --> 0:30:36.880
<v Speaker 2>doing it and had a lot of fun with it.

0:30:37.000 --> 0:30:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, you're incredible at it, and it's I still loved

0:30:40.520 --> 0:30:43.560
<v Speaker 1>it this day when people stop us at an airport

0:30:43.640 --> 0:30:45.560
<v Speaker 1>or whatever and talk about roses and rose and how

0:30:45.600 --> 0:30:49.080
<v Speaker 1>much joy it brought them. Because it did. But I also,

0:30:49.200 --> 0:30:54.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, you created something from scratch and obviously it

0:30:54.400 --> 0:30:58.680
<v Speaker 1>was a little bit intertwined in the Bachelor world. It's

0:30:58.720 --> 0:31:02.320
<v Speaker 1>okay to let that be what it was. And I

0:31:02.320 --> 0:31:05.520
<v Speaker 1>think that's important in life and business and relationships, is

0:31:05.520 --> 0:31:07.840
<v Speaker 1>that it's okay to celebrate that and remember that for

0:31:07.920 --> 0:31:10.760
<v Speaker 1>a good thing and then move on to the next

0:31:10.880 --> 0:31:13.440
<v Speaker 1>and count that as a big win. That's a big

0:31:13.560 --> 0:31:15.840
<v Speaker 1>W in your column, The Bachelor is a big W

0:31:16.000 --> 0:31:18.760
<v Speaker 1>in my column. That franchise. I don't need to recreate

0:31:18.840 --> 0:31:22.200
<v Speaker 1>that to be successful again. I can do something else.

0:31:22.240 --> 0:31:24.280
<v Speaker 1>And I think the same for you is that was

0:31:24.320 --> 0:31:27.640
<v Speaker 1>a huge victory. Now onto the next, something bigger, better

0:31:27.680 --> 0:31:28.160
<v Speaker 1>or brighter.

0:31:29.040 --> 0:31:33.160
<v Speaker 3>Well, actually, Lynn asked, when will you share a new

0:31:33.200 --> 0:31:34.640
<v Speaker 3>project that you've alluded to.

0:31:36.200 --> 0:31:40.880
<v Speaker 1>I think it's safe to say this month, February twenty

0:31:40.920 --> 0:31:45.680
<v Speaker 1>twenty four, LZ and I will drop the news of

0:31:45.720 --> 0:31:49.080
<v Speaker 1>what is next, what our next chapter will look like.

0:31:49.640 --> 0:31:52.400
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't be more excited for it, couldn't be more

0:31:52.440 --> 0:31:55.720
<v Speaker 1>proud of it, and I can't believe it hasn't leaked

0:31:55.720 --> 0:32:01.360
<v Speaker 1>out already, but it'll be coming out very soon. Okay,

0:32:01.520 --> 0:32:02.880
<v Speaker 1>I think you would like to add on that note.

0:32:03.000 --> 0:32:05.560
<v Speaker 2>No, I think you put it on perfectly well the

0:32:05.680 --> 0:32:08.240
<v Speaker 2>last question, but you might have just answered it. Elizabeth

0:32:08.280 --> 0:32:11.000
<v Speaker 2>asked what do you and LZ look forward to the

0:32:11.040 --> 0:32:14.240
<v Speaker 2>most in your future together as a couple, And I'll.

0:32:14.120 --> 0:32:16.520
<v Speaker 3>Answer it and say, what I look forward to is

0:32:17.160 --> 0:32:18.320
<v Speaker 3>the future work we're gonna do.

0:32:19.280 --> 0:32:23.120
<v Speaker 2>You know, we've had an incredible last year of moving

0:32:23.120 --> 0:32:27.040
<v Speaker 2>to Austin full time, really building a world of friends here,

0:32:28.720 --> 0:32:33.040
<v Speaker 2>planning two weddings, getting married, and of course we've had

0:32:33.040 --> 0:32:36.120
<v Speaker 2>this incredible podcast, which I've loved doing. But the work

0:32:36.160 --> 0:32:40.720
<v Speaker 2>stuff like hasn't been as full throttle by choice, you know,

0:32:40.760 --> 0:32:43.760
<v Speaker 2>We've been like planning some seeds and doing some things,

0:32:44.160 --> 0:32:46.840
<v Speaker 2>but really took time to like get married and that

0:32:46.920 --> 0:32:52.320
<v Speaker 2>was amazing, and honestly, I had and look, I'm very

0:32:52.320 --> 0:32:54.440
<v Speaker 2>grateful I got to. But you know, I've been working

0:32:54.480 --> 0:32:58.080
<v Speaker 2>in news for more than ten years, and I did

0:32:58.160 --> 0:33:00.960
<v Speaker 2>years where I worked overnights for years, and news is

0:33:01.000 --> 0:33:03.320
<v Speaker 2>like a twenty four to seven job, and so I

0:33:03.320 --> 0:33:06.080
<v Speaker 2>didn't really mind like taking a little step back and

0:33:06.160 --> 0:33:08.640
<v Speaker 2>like kind of getting healthy and chilling out a little bit.

0:33:09.000 --> 0:33:10.560
<v Speaker 2>But now I'm excited for us to work on a

0:33:10.600 --> 0:33:12.920
<v Speaker 2>new project together and get the creativity going again.

0:33:13.080 --> 0:33:15.200
<v Speaker 1>I think it's important that your priorities are allowed to

0:33:15.280 --> 0:33:19.080
<v Speaker 1>change in life. For both of us, our careers were

0:33:19.080 --> 0:33:23.640
<v Speaker 1>our priority, and at times it's family, at times, it's work,

0:33:23.640 --> 0:33:25.440
<v Speaker 1>at times it's this. So I think it's important that

0:33:25.480 --> 0:33:28.760
<v Speaker 1>things can ebb and flow. For us. Last year, we

0:33:28.800 --> 0:33:33.480
<v Speaker 1>put our family in our lives up top, and we

0:33:33.680 --> 0:33:36.880
<v Speaker 1>really made that a priority. Our weddings were obviously public,

0:33:37.320 --> 0:33:39.440
<v Speaker 1>but that was just a small part of what was

0:33:39.480 --> 0:33:42.400
<v Speaker 1>important to us, with our kids and everything else that

0:33:42.440 --> 0:33:44.960
<v Speaker 1>we really really dove into, and we were able to

0:33:44.960 --> 0:33:47.480
<v Speaker 1>maintain and do this podcast and other things. Like you said,

0:33:48.120 --> 0:33:50.240
<v Speaker 1>But I think for both of us it's safe to

0:33:50.280 --> 0:33:53.880
<v Speaker 1>say the fire is burning really hot right now to

0:33:53.920 --> 0:33:57.560
<v Speaker 1>get back and do something. And I would say, my

0:33:57.720 --> 0:34:01.680
<v Speaker 1>priority is not only to get back and we are

0:34:01.720 --> 0:34:03.560
<v Speaker 1>going to do something very fun and that news will

0:34:03.640 --> 0:34:09.920
<v Speaker 1>drop soon, but it's doing it with you. Being able

0:34:09.960 --> 0:34:12.640
<v Speaker 1>to do this now with the woman I love is

0:34:12.840 --> 0:34:18.319
<v Speaker 1>so exciting for me personally. I get so pumped up

0:34:18.480 --> 0:34:21.759
<v Speaker 1>about just thinking about that. I can't wait.

0:34:21.880 --> 0:34:24.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we're super lucky and that we get to work

0:34:24.440 --> 0:34:26.560
<v Speaker 2>together and spend all this time together and then take

0:34:26.560 --> 0:34:29.360
<v Speaker 2>breaks when we want to for a mental health No,

0:34:29.480 --> 0:34:33.279
<v Speaker 2>I agree, And I'm also really glad that like we're

0:34:33.280 --> 0:34:34.960
<v Speaker 2>doing it in a way that we feel good about.

0:34:35.080 --> 0:34:38.120
<v Speaker 2>You know, there have been offers that have come your way,

0:34:39.280 --> 0:34:41.879
<v Speaker 2>different asks for you to do different TV shows and

0:34:42.080 --> 0:34:46.080
<v Speaker 2>different ideas and other jobs that you know, I know

0:34:46.120 --> 0:34:49.839
<v Speaker 2>you've said no too, and we've just known that that

0:34:49.880 --> 0:34:52.839
<v Speaker 2>wasn't like the way we wanted to go. So again,

0:34:52.880 --> 0:34:54.719
<v Speaker 2>I feel grateful that we were able to do that,

0:34:55.320 --> 0:34:58.319
<v Speaker 2>and like, at the end of the day, you got

0:34:58.320 --> 0:35:01.600
<v Speaker 2>to feel good about It's more important to feel good

0:35:01.600 --> 0:35:03.040
<v Speaker 2>about the job that you're taking then.

0:35:03.080 --> 0:35:05.120
<v Speaker 1>And we can choose to do that now, which is wonderful.

0:35:05.120 --> 0:35:07.400
<v Speaker 1>And you know, without getting too much into it, because

0:35:07.440 --> 0:35:10.200
<v Speaker 1>we will do an entire podcast when this news drops.

0:35:10.600 --> 0:35:13.000
<v Speaker 1>The press release will come out and then it will

0:35:13.080 --> 0:35:16.040
<v Speaker 1>do a you know, correlating a podcast and kind of

0:35:16.080 --> 0:35:17.879
<v Speaker 1>give you the deats. But I will just say this,

0:35:18.120 --> 0:35:21.680
<v Speaker 1>the Lord works in mysterious ways, and often you're working

0:35:21.760 --> 0:35:23.920
<v Speaker 1>towards a goal and sometimes you don't even know what

0:35:23.960 --> 0:35:29.320
<v Speaker 1>that goal will eventually be. And we have been shown

0:35:29.480 --> 0:35:33.879
<v Speaker 1>this way that's led to the most spectacular, wonderful thing

0:35:33.920 --> 0:35:37.279
<v Speaker 1>that we are excited about, but we're proud of and

0:35:37.400 --> 0:35:40.600
<v Speaker 1>fired up for. So it's there's a lot to be
