Okay. So first off, 24 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 1: I was away from my closet for like four months. 25 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,040 Speaker 1: So ever since we got back to l A two 26 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 1: weeks ago, I've been like putting. I've been like kind 27 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: of wearing like even outfits around the house. Like I've 28 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: been trying to look cute. It's the only time. It's 29 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: the first time in four months. And not only have 30 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: I had like all of my clothing options, but that 31 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 1: it's just been me and Jared as a couple, and 32 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 1: you know, I just like I want to look nice 33 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: to my husband and myself and all that. So like 34 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,839 Speaker 1: I've been like, you know, wearing some cuter things around 35 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: the house and then the sweatpants that you saw me 36 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: and for four straight months of my parents. Um. And 37 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: then this all started because of an AD and I 38 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: think that you guys, I think so many people are like, oh, 39 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: they like sell flooring, but it will actually use them. Okay. 40 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: So in April I didn't add for open Fit and 41 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: it's this streaming online workout class service, and I was 42 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: thinking during quarantine and I'm like, Okay, you're in such 43 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 1: bad shape. Literally your heart races, not just when you 44 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,519 Speaker 1: go up the stairs, but when you go from like 45 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: when you get up from the couch and go into 46 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: another room. Like it's really really bad. I was like 47 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: skinny fat because nobody would know that I was in 48 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: that bad of shape. Um, but I wasn't, like my 49 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: heart wasn't healthy. So once I heard about open Fit 50 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: through doing this ad, I'm like, Okay, well this is 51 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: easy enough. Like I can do thirty minutes at home 52 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: on a mat with a resistance band every day, So 53 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: that's what Um, I started doing then, and then um, 54 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: I've been doing it four or five times a week, 55 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: just half an hour an open Fit class. They're like 56 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 1: bar pilates classes at home. And I've been doing it consistently, 57 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 1: working out consistent for the first time in legit nine years. 58 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: Like I had like little spurts throughout then, like when 59 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 1: we did Winter Games, like I worked out for like 60 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: a month before that, But this is the first time 61 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 1: that has been like over a span of a few months, 62 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: and I've just like I had a regular schedule with it. 63 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: And then finally, I mean like holy like you guys 64 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: are probably like, actually, we don't really care that much. 65 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 1: But when people say, like, what have you done over quarantine, 66 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: I've truly the answer has probably made myself out there, 67 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:31,959 Speaker 1: So I'm kind of into it.

It's two miles uh south, 171 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: two miles north, two miles west, two miles. That's a 172 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: big piece of property. It takes ten minutes, ten minutes 173 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,959 Speaker 1: to walk from one end to the other, maybe even 174 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: more based on so do they have golf cards and 175 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: stuff going around like they do? There's no one there 176 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:28,079 Speaker 1: but Bachelor cast and crew, so that's kind of cool. 177 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: Now there are some homeowners nearby, so I sort of 178 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 1: asking can the homeowners walk over? But they kind of 179 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: have it sectioned off where they're shooting. So there's a 180 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: million private pools and then there's two really huge pools, 181 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: so I'm sure they're using those in some ways. The 182 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: other thing that I was thinking about is there definitely 183 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 1: are fantasy suite So there are some rooms that we've 184 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,839 Speaker 1: seen or stayed in that are like more lavish that 185 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: have living rooms and dining rooms and private pools and 186 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: are all dated. So I'm imagining they'll be using those 187 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: in some way, and they have like the run of 188 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: the resort, so they could set up fancy dinners or 189 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: sort of like bachelor date nights on the lawn or 190 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: you know, on the golf course or in the restaurants. 191 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 1: No one's there, so I've sort of been trying to 192 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 1: figure out how they're gonna do it. Uh, and everyone, 193 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: you know, everyone's staying so unlike in the mansion, they're 194 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: all staying in their rooms. So the guys aren't necessarily 195 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: like sleeping in a big mansion like they would normally, 196 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,439 Speaker 1: so they all would have their own rooms or maybe 197 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: two guys to a room, which these guys are going 198 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: to be so spoiled. That's so nice to be able 199 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: to retreat to your own room. But do you think 200 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: that they're going to have like a gathering areas that 201 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: the guys like pretty much have to stay in all Yeah, 202 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: So like, okay, so I'll describe it to you. There's 203 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: little pools and let's say there's fifteen rooms right around 204 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 1: that little pool. So you step out your door and 205 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: you would be outside where all the other guys would be. 206 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 1: It's unavoidable to not see each other. But I don't 207 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,199 Speaker 1: know where they'll put Claire. But I do think it's 208 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: set up that it's going to be really really cool 209 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 1: to watch just knowing the way the resort is. Uh, 210 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 1: and you could definitely have tons of drama. Okay, wait, 211 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,199 Speaker 1: but speaking of drama, how do we think that we're 212 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: going to be able to force these guys to be 213 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: together enough that like they won't be able to escape 214 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 1: from each other and just not even bring up drama. Well, 215 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 1: I mean I think that if you did anything other 216 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,199 Speaker 1: than sleep, you're gonna be where the other guys are 217 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 1: for sure. For sure, um there are there is tennis, golf, 218 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: so I'm sure they're going to have to incorporate it that. 219 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: But it's so hot. That's the other thing I can't imagine. 220 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: I mean, it is it's the middle of the desert, 221 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: so it's about two and a half hours from Los Angeles. 222 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: You just take the ten three way out from l 223 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: A straight to Lakinta, and it is where a lot 224 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: of people say during Coachella and stage coach. So I 225 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: just don't and I don't think they can leave the 226 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: resort because they're all tested and in this bubble. So 227 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 1: even though there could be things for them to do 228 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: outside the resort, I don't think they can leave. So 229 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: I mean, what can we what can we expect it? 230 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: I mean, this doesn't sound like we're gonna be missing 231 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: out on too much other than the travel piece of 232 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: the show. I don't think so. I think it's gonna 233 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,199 Speaker 1: be so good. I think it's going to change it 234 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,439 Speaker 1: up just enough so we're gonna have all the interactions drama, 235 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 1: and they'll set it up where they're you know, two 236 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: on ones, just like you would have, or group states, 237 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: just like you would have. The resort is laid out 238 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: in a way where you could fully do it, very 239 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: very similarly to way they only always do. You just 240 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: won't be going to other locations, which I don't really care. 241 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:51,559 Speaker 1: That never like the audience doesn't care. That never was like, 242 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: oh they're in Denmark, I'm so thrilled. I don't care. 243 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 1: It's good for you. I'm jealous, but it doesn't really 244 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,319 Speaker 1: affect my viewing. I want they could do like one 245 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: of those you know, pop up concerts, because if they 246 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 1: tested the artists and let them into the bubble. Maybe 247 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: they could. I don't know. We'll see who's been that 248 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: test bubble. Okay, do you think that from your sources, 249 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: they're going to be testing the guys throughout the entire process, 250 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: because like I heard that it could be up to 251 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: every three days they get a swab FROs. That's where 252 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: I'm hearing. I mean, I'm hearing. So this is me 253 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: putting together information. No one's told me this, but everyone's 254 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: then tested, quarantined, tested again, and we'll be tested throughout 255 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: the whole um run of the show, six seven weeks, 256 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: whatever it is. And yeah, I mean it feels like 257 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: if they're in the bubble, it seems pretty safe because 258 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: they're not really having any contact with anyone from the outside. 259 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: And all the crew stays there too, so they're not 260 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 1: going home like they normally would when they're at the 261 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: mansion because normally producers would go sleep at their own 262 00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: houses when they're filming in Los Angeles, so they're not 263 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 1: doing do we know when this is starting they are 264 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 1: going I don't know if there's actually cameras rolling, but 265 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: they are all there. They say, cameras roll on Friday. 266 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: This is coming Friday, So we're four days away. Yeah, 267 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: the guys flew in on Thursday and Friday, last week's 268 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: quarantine for a week. Now. I don't know if you've 269 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: heard anything about this aim, but have you have you 270 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 1: heard that they have sent over a lot of extras 271 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: who don't know their extras, and um they did this 272 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: so that, um, if somebody is diagnosed with COVID, that 273 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: they fill in for him. I haven't heard that, but 274 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: it makes sense that they have people there just in case. 275 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: Now once they start going, I don't know if they'll 276 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 1: ever use those guys are not. Isn't that sad? Could 277 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 1: you imagine? There's always two people are so on backup 278 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 1: they go to the hotel and then they kind of 279 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: dropped them there, which is heart wrenching. But if they 280 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: do it to multiple like lots like more than to 281 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 1: really fly them out, they don't know who they are 282 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: until the day before, Like, thank you for quarantining yourself 283 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: at this fine resort for a week. But I think 284 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: it's gonna be really good because it's going to change 285 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: it up just enough. But we're still going to have 286 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: everything we love so much, you know, Like we're still 287 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: going to have the competition amongst the guys. We're gonna 288 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: have the you know, all the sort of juiciness of 289 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 1: her being older, it's still going to be in play, 290 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: you know, and and being a bit more serious maybe 291 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 1: about it, and maybe more conversations like she probably wants 292 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: step kids. I mean, I don't know. I can't speak 293 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: for her, but that's a lot different than a twenty 294 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 1: three year old m hm. Let's just it's probably gonna 295 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: be just like Paradise. Why are we thinking this is 296 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 1: gonna be so wacky when we already have a series 297 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: that is such a fan favorite that is filmed every year. 298 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: What I thought too Obviously when we all rewatch Trista 299 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: didn't have as much traveling. They didn't used to travel 300 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: as much in the old days. So it's just gonna 301 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 1: feel like that, which was one of the best seasons ever. 302 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: The same with Chris souls As season we only went well, 303 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: we didn't start traveling until week five Iowa, and then 304 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: we went we went to Iowa and Santa Fe and 305 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 1: sell Dakota. Yeah. Special, that's that's a that is Those 306 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: Flive States have a special place in my heart. They're 307 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: pretty beautiful, they are very sweet. I like that I 308 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 1: also think it's going to be pretty cool once this airs, 309 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,919 Speaker 1: and then you know, we all can travel again normal 310 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 1: to go to Laquinta, because you could really live the 311 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:47,120 Speaker 1: Bachelor experience once you know. They still I can't believe 312 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 1: you've never been. I mean, we've been fifty times. I've 313 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: been there with so many I'm trying to think, I 314 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,120 Speaker 1: what Bachelor people I've been there with, but I've definitely 315 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,199 Speaker 1: that's for sure. Yeah. Well, Amy, thanks for coming on. 316 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,439 Speaker 1: Thanks for giving us the insight we look forward to. 317 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 1: As we've heard this is all speculation, but we know 318 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: it's starting. They're setting up. We heard that cameras start 319 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:15,920 Speaker 1: rolling Friday, as is our source, Amy tells us. Amy 320 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 1: is a very reliable source. Yeah, we should expect to 321 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: people within the gates of Latina, or as actually calls it, 322 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,400 Speaker 1: la Quinta la Quinta. Amy, thanks for thanks for coming on. 323 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: You're the best. Hi, guys talking a little bit by 324 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,880 Speaker 1: guys by another show news, uh and it ties in here. 325 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 1: Robert Mills, who is uh the executive ABC, has came 326 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 1: out publicly this week. He was asked about this new 327 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: show that they're gonna try to do the Bachelor's Senior 328 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 1: Citizens spin off. Obviously, it got a lot of attention 329 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 1: when they kind of started to announce it during the 330 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 1: last season of The Bachelor during Peter season. Then it 331 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: kind of went quiet. Nobody really knew, but everything in 332 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: production has halted for last few months. So in an 333 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: interview recently, UH ABC executive Robert Mills did come out 334 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: and an exclusive and say that yes, the Bachelorette UH. 335 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,119 Speaker 1: This was with Variety. By the way, the Bachelorette and 336 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,399 Speaker 1: Bachelor are two main focuses for them to get filmed 337 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: this year. This is something that they really want to 338 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: do with Claire season coming up and then with Matt 339 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,640 Speaker 1: James this season coming up following that. But in one 340 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:31,680 Speaker 1: UH in two thousand two, they really are hoping to 341 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: do a Bachelor Senior Citizen spin off because, as uh 342 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 1: Robert Mills said, the stories the applications were so heart 343 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,640 Speaker 1: filled and they pulled at the heart strings so much 344 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 1: that they believe this could be something incredibly special, So 345 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: don't count that out. We've got a lot of questions 346 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: about it through email and on Twitter, and for the 347 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: first time we have some information that he says, God 348 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: willing we return to some normalcy in the world. We 349 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 1: will obviously want to get back to Bachelor in Paradise 350 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 1: because uh, that will have been off a year, but 351 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: soon following it would be great to do a Bachelor's 352 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: Citizens off. Oh that's so sweet. Everybody was stoked about that, 353 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 1: and everyone of you had, everybody who had parents whose 354 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: pouse spouse had passed away or they were older and divorced, 355 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: Like I just there was so much excitement about signing 356 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 1: those people up. So yeah, I mean, I think it 357 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 1: will happen, But you're right, I mean, this is just 358 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 1: not going to be a priority right now for them. 359 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 1: I think would be huge. You know, these other shows 360 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,439 Speaker 1: and you and I've always kind of like speculated, and 361 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: I've always had more of a negative opinion than you 362 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 1: have on how they're going to go, Like you know, 363 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: just s been offs, Like listen to your heart. I'm like, 364 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,680 Speaker 1: I don't really know how that's gonna work. It doesn't 365 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: make a lot of sense to me. The Bachelor go 366 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 1: I got why they were doing it. It took a 367 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,119 Speaker 1: ton of time, but they had to get content out there. Um, 368 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 1: you know, win our games. We did it as trying 369 00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,400 Speaker 1: to figure out what it was going to be summer Games. 370 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,439 Speaker 1: I think could work. I really like I am a 371 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 1: in on a Senior Citizen spin off. Like, I think 372 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,160 Speaker 1: that could be huge. Ben, did you know that Bachelor 373 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: Goat is actually spanning all the way until August thirty one? 374 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: Had no clue? Yeah, neither did. I learned it this weekend. 375 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: That's wild. Well, I mean, I get it. The conda 376 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: has to be out there anyways. That's from Robert Mills. Actually, 377 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,919 Speaker 1: there's some more hot topics coming up. We'll go back 378 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 1: to talk about Claire Crawley season. Claire obviously is the Bachelorette, 379 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,199 Speaker 1: and we think that filming will start this Friday. She 380 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: has shared an empowering message to herself before though filming begins. 381 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: This according to US magazine. Yes, okay, so I could 382 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: read this to you guys, but I would suggest you 383 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,199 Speaker 1: just go and read it to herself. It is just 384 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: a very sweet message about how she's grown over the 385 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 1: past couple of years and has taken every negative or 386 00:21:54,800 --> 00:22:00,440 Speaker 1: challenging situation romantically or otherwise and turned it into who 387 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 1: she is today and and the person who was, you know, 388 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 1: crowned the Bachelorette. So she's just very thankful for everything 389 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: she's gone through and toughing it out. Um. I also, 390 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 1: I'll give you a little dirt. I texted her after 391 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: seeing this, or the day after seeing this, because I 392 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:19,679 Speaker 1: was like, oh my gosh, I supposed to be her 393 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,959 Speaker 1: sitting off. I have to say something. And she didn't respond. 394 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: So I think her phone has been taken away as 395 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 1: of Friday. Good for her, Well, we hope so, I 396 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: mean we've talked about it here before. We want Claire 397 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,399 Speaker 1: to be celebrated. We think it's gonna be a great season. 398 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 1: So we hope she's out and filming and having a 399 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,239 Speaker 1: great time. Uh. Starting next week, well, we're back to 400 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: a couple that has recently split in Batchel Nation, at 401 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: least announced their split. It's Colton Underwood and Cassie Randolph. 402 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,439 Speaker 1: It hasn't gone It doesn't seem like we've we've hinted 403 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 1: at last week. I remember you and I speculated, Hey, 404 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: this doesn't feel like it's going very well. It feels 405 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: like it's a little messy. Uh. You know, Colton has 406 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: been out there posting, and we mentioned that Cassie had 407 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,120 Speaker 1: taken thirty days from social media, so we just there 408 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 1: the balance fell off. Well, we now know more because 409 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 1: Cassie Randof says that Colton Underwood, uh, she accuses him 410 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:20,120 Speaker 1: of trying to monetize their split. This again according to 411 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: US magazine. Okay, so have you been following this story, 412 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: because it's kind of juicy it I as I saw 413 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:30,919 Speaker 1: these headlines, I went back and I started watching, and 414 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: I saw Colton's post that like, was this kind of 415 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: like passive aggressive way of saying that, hey, we agreed 416 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 1: to this, but it didn't happen. So now I'm now 417 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna dive in head first. And then you have 418 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:46,640 Speaker 1: Cassie obviously quoted with some things saying, hey, she's monetizing this. 419 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,200 Speaker 1: This is wrong. But that's about as far as I've gotten. 420 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 1: I'm really counting on you to give us the dirt. Okay, 421 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,880 Speaker 1: So yes, let's start with what you said. Apparently there's 422 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,640 Speaker 1: tension between them because Cassie did go on the Goat, 423 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 1: did the interview with Chris Harris in and but but 424 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: the thing is, I get I get that Colton is 425 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 1: mad that she did this interview without obviously telling him, 426 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: but she she told nothing and it was nothing. She 427 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,159 Speaker 1: really went on there, And like if I would have 428 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 1: watched that as an X. I'm like, that was pretty 429 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 1: respectful because she literally said nothing, that's what I said 430 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,880 Speaker 1: last week. I thought it was super tasteful, very respectful. Um. 431 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,120 Speaker 1: And you could see how uncomfortable she was when Chris 432 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,440 Speaker 1: was trying to push your more information and she stood 433 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 1: her ground. She didn't say anything. I would have been like, okay. 434 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,360 Speaker 1: But then Colton goes on Instagram and in some sort 435 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: of passive aggressive way, I guess, he says like things 436 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,719 Speaker 1: have changed this week, Like he's like I was, you know, 437 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 1: this was gonna be private, but things changed this week. 438 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 1: But honestly, I think they still remained pretty private, even 439 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 1: though Cassie did just show her face on the show. 440 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 1: So then after Colton said things changed this week, Cassie 441 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: gone her Instagram story and posted a number of slides 442 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 1: calling Colton out, like talking to him directly, saying Colton 443 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 1: you blah blah blah Colton la la la la la, 444 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,199 Speaker 1: and um, because I guess was as an alternative of 445 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 1: her calling him, texting him directly, but she wanted to 446 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: put it out there publicly so that fans would understand that, 447 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: like it would be on record that they're no longer, 448 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 1: that they're not talking about this in publicly. How do 449 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 1: you describe that, ben Like she basically wanted to keep 450 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 1: him accountable as the and then like was using the 451 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 1: public to do so. Yeah, I mean, I think you 452 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,120 Speaker 1: just said it like it It felt like watching it. 453 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: She just wants her side to be out there to say, Hey, 454 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 1: I want to give everybody a notice that this is 455 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 1: our situation, this is what I feel like is going on. 456 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 1: And I mean, I'm assuming she did this because she 457 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 1: doesn't feel like it's right and she doesn't want it 458 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:05,120 Speaker 1: to go she doesn't. I don't. I think I'll say this. 459 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 1: I only know from my own experience. Public breakups are hard. 460 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,880 Speaker 1: Both sides probably have agreed to something they have behind 461 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 1: the scenes. Hey, we're not going to talk about it. 462 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 1: You know at some point you're gonna have to talk 463 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: about it, because here I am four years later and 464 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 1: people still ask me about it even though I am engaged. 465 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: Like it's something that you have to find that like 466 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 1: middle ground to talk about it without saying too much, 467 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: without throwing the other person under the bus, without making 468 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 1: it hostile. And I think Lauren and I have tried 469 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,680 Speaker 1: to do that for each other, and there has been 470 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 1: very few if any times where I remember going, wow, 471 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:42,680 Speaker 1: that really hurt that she said that, and I hope 472 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 1: she would say that about me, But you have to 473 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 1: talk about it. And so for Cassie to go on 474 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 1: and just not really say anything, that's kind of what 475 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: you have to do because you're not gonna hide forever. 476 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,439 Speaker 1: And she feels like the other side, she feels like Colton, 477 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: from what she says here, has gone too far where 478 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 1: he now is trying to monit ties it. Okay, So 479 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:06,400 Speaker 1: then it looks as if on Monday evening, as Cassie says, 480 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: which was the day that her Goat interview aired, quote, 481 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: you informed me, Coulton that you intend to monetize our 482 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:20,120 Speaker 1: breakup by writing a new chapter to discuss your experience 483 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,720 Speaker 1: with COVID where you stayed in my family's house during 484 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: your recovery, and about our breakup. You also refused to 485 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 1: give me any sort of approval on the chapter that 486 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 1: you'll be writing, which will heavily feature me. This seems 487 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 1: a bit unfair to me, Coulton. You can do what 488 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 1: you want, but please don't have a double standard. So 489 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 1: what it sounds like I'm being a detective here is 490 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 1: that her episode aired he got really mad and then 491 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 1: said like, I'm writing a chapter on the And now 492 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 1: she's like, Okay, this is absolutely ridiculous. So you're gonna 493 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:56,240 Speaker 1: take my interview in which I said nothing, and now 494 00:27:56,280 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: you're going to write a whole chapter about this. Yeah, 495 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: I think that's where we say. I think it's where 496 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 1: he said and to his Okay, so did his credit here? 497 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 1: I get you know, he has this book, he wrote 498 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,680 Speaker 1: this book. He wants to add you know, he wants 499 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 1: to keep it in the the headlines. He wants to 500 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 1: continue to sell copies. Uh, you know, nobody knows yet 501 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 1: what detail he'll go into on this book. He might 502 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,119 Speaker 1: like she did on her interview. He might gloss over everything, 503 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 1: kind of similar to what she did on the interview. 504 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 1: So I understand that. Now does she need to approve 505 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,400 Speaker 1: it or not? Uh, you know, that's up to them. 506 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,199 Speaker 1: I I can't even say. I don't know what's right 507 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 1: or wrong there. But the point of this is there's 508 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 1: obviously high tensions. Now it's very public. Oh they're never 509 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 1: going to be friends again if they were on good terms. 510 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: I don't know that they're going to recover from this. 511 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 1: It's it's very public. I mean, it's it feels really 512 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 1: heavy and honestly, Ashley, like, as I read more and 513 00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: more into this, I think I think Cassie is just 514 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 1: crying out to stay Colton stopped like this, this is disingenuous, 515 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 1: and Colton is going back to say, I'm gonna do 516 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 1: right now because this is a part of my story. 517 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna share it as I will. And so I 518 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 1: don't know how you come to the middle on that now, 519 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 1: like you see what I'm saying, Like she's saying, Colton, 520 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: this seems disingenuous. There's a double standard, like you can't 521 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 1: monetize our breakup and at the same time get mad 522 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 1: at me for going on to speak to Chris Harrison 523 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 1: and saying nothing. Colton saying, this is my story. My 524 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 1: book is also my story, so I have every right 525 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: to write it in And because you went on Chris 526 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 1: Harrison's deal, according to his post, it gives me now 527 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 1: the freedom to do what I want. Now, here's the question, 528 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 1: here's the question. He'll I'll interview with him, and like, 529 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 1: you know, she sat down for a half an hour 530 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: fireside chat with Chris Harrison, spilled every detail and then 531 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: I'd be like, sure, Colton go right the chapter, but 532 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 1: to react to the interview that she did like this 533 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 1: is insane. It's like, Colton, are you never going to 534 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 1: do an interview again and you expect that the interviewer 535 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 1: won't ever ask you about Cassie? That's what I was 536 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 1: gonna say. The point is like, hey, would he have 537 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 1: if if Cassie never does this first? Does it mean 538 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 1: that Colton was never going to write the chapter? Like? 539 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: Because it feels like that's what he's using it, Like, hey, 540 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 1: U she went on, so now I can write it 541 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 1: and because things have changed from what we agreed upon 542 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 1: or has was he already in the process of writing 543 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 1: it and this gave the excuse? Or what was he 544 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 1: gonna do? I mean, we would all be naive to 545 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 1: think that in Bachelor World we're not going to be 546 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 1: asked about her X as ever like he was gonna 547 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 1: be asked, especially if he wants to stay in the 548 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 1: in the in the public eye. As I said, I mean, 549 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 1: I'm four years out and I still get asked about it. 550 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 1: And there's there's a really like a very truth filled 551 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 1: I answer that I give that is hopefully respectful to 552 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 1: both parties, that gives enough for the viewers to understand 553 00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 1: where we're coming from. But I had to learn that 554 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,560 Speaker 1: along the way. That wasn't my first reaction, my first 555 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 1: I mean, here's my advice to them, not that my 556 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 1: advice is warranted, is to take a couple of deep breaths, 557 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 1: because your first reaction a few months out is going 558 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 1: to be a lot different than when you're four years 559 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 1: out or three years out later and one person is 560 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 1: married and you're engaged. You no longer have the anger 561 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 1: or resentment that you once held. So like, pause a 562 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 1: second before you jump to conclusions. Think about what you 563 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: want to say, how this, how you really feel about 564 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 1: this person? Because time heals all. And if you're mad now, 565 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 1: I doubt you're gonna be mad four years later. Mhm yeah. 566 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: And Cassie mentioned that she says, let's not um. She 567 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 1: was like, I would like that you don't cloud our 568 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 1: great one and happy relationship with this messy breakup. So 569 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: Colton and Cassie, which one seemed to be they were 570 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 1: getting tattoos or whatever that was, and they were like 571 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 1: friendly with each other. Now feels heavy, um, and that 572 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 1: according to magazine, so we'll follow that story. I don't 573 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 1: know what else will go on there. Maybe hopefully for 574 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 1: everybody's sake, they'll recover in men wounds and move on 575 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 1: and move forward respectfully and in authentically. But we will see. 576 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 1: Next story is The Bachelor's Kayla Quinn wants to say 577 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 1: yes the dress, except her mom thinks it's basic. This 578 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 1: according to the the online I watched this clip. I think 579 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 1: the episode may have aired on Saturday night, but you 580 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 1: know TLC runs them just in loop. I love say 581 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 1: yes to the dress. Uh. They dress that Kayla pick 582 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 1: that her mom thought was bland. I thought was beautiful. 583 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 1: It's very it was very on brand for Kayla. It 584 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:48,720 Speaker 1: was very princessy. It was conservative. Um, it really highlighted 585 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 1: her body shape. So I don't know on the clip 586 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 1: if she picks this dress and her mom's still like 587 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: not keen on it. But if you guys can find 588 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 1: the episode, it'll be a good on, uh, because I 589 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 1: think you do get to see the dress that she's 590 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 1: going to wear at one of I think they're having 591 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 1: two ceremonies, but I think she said that she was 592 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 1: going to wear the dress, the same dress at both 593 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 1: of them. But anyway, it's always fun to watch somebody 594 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 1: pick out a wedding dress, especially if you know them 595 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 1: from Bachelor Nation. That's uh, yeah, I'm I'm pumped for that. Obviously, 596 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 1: Kayla was on the twenties season The Bachelor, which just 597 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 1: happened to be the season that I was the Bachelor of. 598 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,360 Speaker 1: And uh, and we're I mean just pumped for her. 599 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 1: Uh she is, Uh, she will be seen on again. 600 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 1: Say yes to the dress. Hey, Ashley, Hannah Ann and 601 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 1: Madison Pruett, they're friends. Like, I didn't know this that 602 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,760 Speaker 1: they're friends. They've showed up a couple of times together, right, 603 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 1: They've been talking to hang out. Uh. Well, they have 604 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 1: started to react to some of the most cringe Bachelor moments, 605 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,560 Speaker 1: and fans love it. I mean they're freaking out over it. Okay, 606 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 1: what they did is really cute. I think it was 607 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 1: a TikTok, but I watched it on Instagram. They took 608 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:59,520 Speaker 1: like expressions that they made on The Bachelor, whither it 609 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 1: was crying or just like biting her lip making a 610 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:08,439 Speaker 1: weird face, and they put themselves like on the They 611 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:12,600 Speaker 1: like projected themselves on the screen and then would re 612 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 1: enact it in like a modern day scenario. And it's 613 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:17,719 Speaker 1: funny to watch the two of them go back and 614 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,759 Speaker 1: forth between all their memorable reactions on the show. It's 615 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 1: really cute. Yes, so they're friends. Obviously they've been hanging out. 616 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 1: We've seen them in dual interviews together. Did this friendship? 617 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:32,840 Speaker 1: Did I miss it like that? Was it happening on 618 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,279 Speaker 1: the show or is this something after the show? I 619 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,759 Speaker 1: think they're pretty friendly on the show. I'm sure that 620 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:41,440 Speaker 1: there became a time where like there was a sense 621 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:45,319 Speaker 1: of rivalry, But when neither of you end up with 622 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 1: the with the guy, I think that that kind of dissipates. Yeah, okay, 623 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,400 Speaker 1: fair enough. Well, actually that's what we have in Bachelor 624 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,840 Speaker 1: Nation news. Obviously there's some big stories with the start 625 00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,879 Speaker 1: of the Bacherette filming where it's being filmed. Amy came 626 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 1: on give us some great details and insight along with 627 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 1: the unfortunate. This is not the unfortunate scenario that Colton 628 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:09,360 Speaker 1: and Cassie. I mean, I've been there, and this sucks 629 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,359 Speaker 1: like it no matter what side you're on, no matter 630 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:12,839 Speaker 1: who you agree with and don't agree with. I don't 631 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:16,080 Speaker 1: know if that even matters as much as when there 632 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:20,959 Speaker 1: is this kind of hostility within a couple. After being 633 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 1: watching them on TV. It just is hard, as you know, 634 00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,360 Speaker 1: to watch. It's not fun. We doesn't feel like stuff 635 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,879 Speaker 1: we should be watching. I guess we just I mean, 636 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:35,040 Speaker 1: we wish them to reconcile and if they don't need, 637 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:36,839 Speaker 1: they don't need to be best friends. Like I mean, 638 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,239 Speaker 1: Laura and I are not best friends. We never were 639 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 1: best friends. Afterwards we've barely talked, and that's I think 640 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:47,880 Speaker 1: very common with x is um. We you know, the 641 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 1: the point that you hope to get to is just 642 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 1: where both parties can move forward, release any burdens and 643 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 1: any baggage in any like pains and forgive and then say, hey, 644 00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 1: we're going to look forward to the future. I mean, 645 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 1: but right now it doesn't feel like it's getting in 646 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,200 Speaker 1: that direction. So we hope that for them. Well, that's 647 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:06,799 Speaker 1: all the news. We have a Bachelor Nation. Let's take 648 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:08,279 Speaker 1: one more break. When we come back, I'm gonna give 649 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,360 Speaker 1: it a quick update on where we're at with the 650 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,560 Speaker 1: Bachelor Live on stage. We've gotten some questions and uh, 651 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,880 Speaker 1: well I have some answers, So we'll be back with 652 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:28,640 Speaker 1: the almost famous podcasts. Ben, I do want you to 653 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 1: talk about, um the status of Bachelor Live. But first, 654 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 1: did we confirm this a couple of weeks ago. I 655 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 1: want to go into ben news. Are you and just 656 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:43,920 Speaker 1: waiting until to get married? Now? Yeah? I mean unfortunately 657 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,080 Speaker 1: we are so just in all transparency, this is where 658 00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,040 Speaker 1: our thought process went. Ideally it would have been this 659 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:52,280 Speaker 1: year we got married, obviously, Yeah, November was the idea. 660 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:56,279 Speaker 1: COVID you know, kind of stopped those plans, and so 661 00:36:56,320 --> 00:37:02,920 Speaker 1: then we go, okay, let's look at well, um, early, 662 00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,920 Speaker 1: I was supposed to be on tour again, We're the 663 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:08,719 Speaker 1: Bachelor live on stage, We're supposed to pick up and 664 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,799 Speaker 1: start touring. I was that was important for Jess and 665 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:13,960 Speaker 1: I'd be able to do It's you want to do 666 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:17,720 Speaker 1: that well married, Well, we're gonna do before we got married, 667 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:19,799 Speaker 1: because it was just the timing at of all, we 668 00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,080 Speaker 1: weren't going to be able to plan a wedding for 669 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,719 Speaker 1: like the January through April dates that we thought the 670 00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:28,640 Speaker 1: tour was going to be going on tour, and it's 671 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:30,399 Speaker 1: important for me to do that. It's it's a good 672 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:33,520 Speaker 1: source of income for us. We both were pumped about 673 00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,600 Speaker 1: the idea of it. So we're like, okay, we'll do 674 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:40,360 Speaker 1: it midyear. Well, then her brother plays professional baseball, as 675 00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 1: I've mentioned before the season. Yeah, okay, so I remember 676 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,400 Speaker 1: when you guys first talked about your engagement and you're like, 677 00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:51,000 Speaker 1: the wedding revolves around her brother's baseball schedule. So that's 678 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 1: why I thought you guys decided on November. Yeah, and 679 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:55,960 Speaker 1: it's joyfully around his schedule. I don't want to make 680 00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,520 Speaker 1: it sound like he's like, you know, like there's a 681 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,480 Speaker 1: lot that's going to be going on during a season. 682 00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,560 Speaker 1: It's her brother, you know, she only has two brothers, Like, 683 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,440 Speaker 1: she wants him there. It's important for me for to 684 00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,759 Speaker 1: have him there. And so we're like, that's fine. And 685 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:13,759 Speaker 1: now we're looking and unfortunately now and and actually it 686 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,960 Speaker 1: might actually work according to what we're hearing. We've now 687 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,360 Speaker 1: planned it to be around November one. We don't have 688 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:23,160 Speaker 1: exact date yet. We're finalizing the location of it, but 689 00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,000 Speaker 1: I do believe it will be in November of that 690 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:30,399 Speaker 1: will be getting married. Yes, that feels like a long time. Yes, 691 00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:34,959 Speaker 1: that feels hard, and it's not ideal. But what Jess 692 00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:36,960 Speaker 1: and I have been able to do is like mentally 693 00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:38,759 Speaker 1: wrapp our brains around the idea how much fun is 694 00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 1: it gonna be to be engaged for a year and 695 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:41,799 Speaker 1: a half, and we're talking to each other in that 696 00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,040 Speaker 1: way like this is a fun time, we should enjoy this, 697 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:47,239 Speaker 1: we can celebrate this are and and hopefully by then, 698 00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:51,160 Speaker 1: you know COVID is across our fingers. It's far enough 699 00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:55,120 Speaker 1: gone that our family can be there and celebrate um 700 00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,000 Speaker 1: with the freedom of knowing that you know, there's a 701 00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,960 Speaker 1: solution to the COVID virus and we can look at 702 00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:05,520 Speaker 1: it in that in that manner. Okay, So first off, 703 00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,800 Speaker 1: whenever Jared and I are talking to a couple who's 704 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:13,359 Speaker 1: had to postpone because of COVID, we're like, enjoy this 705 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:17,360 Speaker 1: is the time to enjoy like that. Looking forward to 706 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:21,600 Speaker 1: the wedding time. So our wedding was true, like it 707 00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:27,759 Speaker 1: was mind bogglingly perfect. Okay, like we just couldn't We 708 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,239 Speaker 1: still can't believe it happened, and it happened as well 709 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:33,120 Speaker 1: as it did, and it was everything we've ever dreamed. 710 00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,759 Speaker 1: But it is one day and by the time and 711 00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:39,040 Speaker 1: when it's over, you're like, holy moly, I will never 712 00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:42,600 Speaker 1: be able to experience that day again.

And and we're keeping that Like, 717 00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:58,520 Speaker 1: we're keeping that mindset. It's exciting for us. In Part two, 718 00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:01,560 Speaker 1: I I have to know how you and Jess are 719 00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,359 Speaker 1: going to deal with living apart for the next year 720 00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,680 Speaker 1: and a half, because I know that that was one 721 00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:08,279 Speaker 1: of the reasons that you definitely want to get married 722 00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,080 Speaker 1: this year, because you don't want to live together until 723 00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,640 Speaker 1: you're married, which I totally love in respect. Yeah, it's 724 00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,680 Speaker 1: not easy. Uh, And I don't ever want anybody to 725 00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:18,319 Speaker 1: think when they hear us talk about that that like 726 00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:20,799 Speaker 1: this is just a joyful decision that we make. Yes, 727 00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:23,560 Speaker 1: it's healthy for us, it's good for us, it's the 728 00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:27,359 Speaker 1: best thing for us as people. But like, actually, it's 729 00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,200 Speaker 1: not easy. It's not I don't think it should be easy. 730 00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:34,640 Speaker 1: I miss her often. Um, we're apart right now. But 731 00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:36,279 Speaker 1: one of the things that we've done to kind of 732 00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:40,120 Speaker 1: make up and and I guess, uh, distract us from 733 00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,000 Speaker 1: the time A part is both of us have decided 734 00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:46,600 Speaker 1: to enter into learning or trying or investing our time 735 00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:48,760 Speaker 1: in the new things over this time that we're engaged. 736 00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,280 Speaker 1: So Jess, as I mentioned, has gone back to Estetician 737 00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:55,759 Speaker 1: school to be a more like qualified, trustworthy voice when 738 00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:59,120 Speaker 1: it comes to skincare and when she talks about you know, 739 00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,160 Speaker 1: the act diets or the face washes and the natural 740 00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,239 Speaker 1: products that you can use, Like she she really desires 741 00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,520 Speaker 1: to be a trusted voice. So she's in school right 742 00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:09,560 Speaker 1: now in Nashville. I'm back in Denver, and we have 743 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,799 Speaker 1: the restaurants and the coffee shops here. Uh, and we're 744 00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:16,759 Speaker 1: investing into those things. Um, So it's not gonna be 745 00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:18,759 Speaker 1: I'm sure there's gonna be a time that it hits us. 746 00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 1: We will be seeing each other often, but we will 747 00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:25,719 Speaker 1: be apart until that day. And uh, I want to 748 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:30,640 Speaker 1: believe and trust that it will in five years, we'll 749 00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:32,400 Speaker 1: look back and it will almost be just a distant 750 00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,880 Speaker 1: memory of how much time we spent apart, and that 751 00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:38,200 Speaker 1: we have a lifetime together, hopefully God will lifetime together. 752 00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:42,839 Speaker 1: You should also savor this time where it is so 753 00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:46,440 Speaker 1: exciting to see each other.
