Speaker 1: the best album ever, like Elvis Holiday, if I'm going

42
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,280

76
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 1: by Christmas morning. It was great. But you know, one

77
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: of the things we always do is in the morning

78
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: of Christmas we do all the Christmas traditions, the gifts,

79
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: the breakfast, etcetera. And then at night we do kind

80
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: of My mother is adamant about doing more like the

81
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: Jewish traditional celebration where that's when they'll go get some

82
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: Chinese soon and they go to a glovie, it's play games. So, um,

83
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: we saw all sides of both the religions growing up.

84
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: That's awesome, Jason, I you just said something. I don't

85
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: know if I know why Chinese food is that that's

86
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: a thing that's a Jewish thing. Yeah. Really, it's just

87
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: like a thing. Like I had a lot of Jewish

88
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: friends that they joke around. They're like, all right, Chinese

89
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: in the movie, we're doing it. So I don't know

90
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: if that's just a group that I grew up with

91
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 1: or that's the tradition across the country. But yeah, it's fun.

92
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,239
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you, you've obviously had a huge year. Uh,

93
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: this has been. I mean if you look back on

94
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: two eighteen, I think you would say, Jason, that your

95
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: life has changed a little bit. Um. The holidays are

96
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: a time where your family all gets together distance, cousins, relatives,

97
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: people who don't see that often. Do you think, I mean,

98
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: how are they going to treat you? Is it going

99
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 1: to be any different? You know? I think everybody it

100
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: has been, and you guys have had the pleasure of

101
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 1: going on the same journey, and one much more elevated

102
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: than I have. But until you understand this, but I

103
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: think everyone is just so intrigued, right, and they just

104
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 1: want to know, you know, what was the process of

105
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: the show, Like, what's it like been after? How have

106
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: you reacted? Good? Bad and ugly? So I think everyone

107
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: is just like really inquisitive that you wake up on

108
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: January first and you're going about your life and you're

109
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: you know, Bufalo Banker five hundred followers on Instagram didn't

110
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: even know how to do a post, still really don't.

111
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: And then you can go to the show and you know,

112
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: you get this. Um, you go through this period where

113
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: I don't like to say like your celebrity, because I

114
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: don't think we are. But I think that you just

115
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: become familiar. You're familiar faith, and you walk down the

116
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: street and going to work and people recognize you, and

117
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 1: you're in the airplane and people want to talk to you.

118
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: So it's an interesting time and an interesting space. But

119
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: I think people are just really inquisitive how it's been good,

120
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: bad and ugly? You know, Um, you have been the

121
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: probably number one person that people come up to me

122
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: and see whether or not I can put you in

123
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: touch with them. Everybody wants a set up with Jason.

124
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: So all the girls out there dying to know, are

125
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:16,440

131
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,320

00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: kissing anyone on the miss toe on Christmas. Maybe it's

135
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: not serious enough for Christmas Day yet, But perhaps you

Speaker 1: I was with Jared, But you definitely have to be

154
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: with a person. You have to be with a person

155
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: who makes you feel like you're alone. That sounds the

156
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: weirdest thing ever. I mean, being with them should be

157
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: so comfortable that you feel like you're alone, like you

158
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: enjoy being with them as much as you enjoy being

159
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: with yourself. I've never heard anybody say that that that's

160
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: a really that's good because some people say, you like,

161
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: find your best friend, but I think that's even like

162
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: deeper than finding you. I mean that is that's just

163
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: a hit at a deeper level that resonate, that makes sense,

164
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: that is yeah, but it really does because when somebody

165
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: tells me to find my best friend, that almost seems overwhelming,

166
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: like there's no best friend of mine that I want

167
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: to spend every day with exactly exactly terrible because I

168
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: think of my best goal pals and I'm like, no,

169
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to spend more than two days with

170
00:09:54,240 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: your Hey, Jason. Favorite memory of two MM, that is

171
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: a really good question. Favorite memory of two thousand eighteen. UM,

172
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:17,119
Speaker 1: So other than other than coming on the Almost Famous podcast,

173
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: which was the last active, it's such a great time.

174
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 1: I honestly think it was going back to um, going

175
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: back to Buffalo for the first time after the show,

176
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: and you know, obviously Buffalo. It's small city, small town,

177
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: And I don't think I realized how much I talked

178
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: about it until I watch myself back and now I

179
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: recognize every time I do talk about it. But home

180
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: is just like where my heart is, and that's place

181
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: beats so much to to who I am and who

182
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: my family is. And I didn't realize, um, how appreciative

183
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: people of Buffalo were for just talking about it and

184
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: being able to show kids that on a TV show

185
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: like The Bachelor, and to see the way people at

186
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: home react until positively to that was just like one

187
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 1: of them touching things. And it's something I'd never expected

188
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: in my life to have. I never expected to go

189
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: to my hometown and have crowd of people come up

190
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: to me and thank me and um say how proud

191
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 1: they were of how I represented our home. So that

192
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 1: was just like a really touching time and one on

193
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 1: them forget mm hmm. You spent the weekend in Vegas

194
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: with Chris Radon, Blake and the man of the hour, Coulton.

195
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 1: What did Colton did Colton? You know what Colton picks?

196
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: That's all that's cut to the chase. I have no idea,

197
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: no idea. The smart guy, Jason, you're good at this stuff. No,

198
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: I just think you know, it was so good. It's

199
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: like obviously a unique position where Colton, Blake and I

200
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: were such close friends before the show, and we went

201
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: through this process and this anticipation of you know, who

202
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: will be the Bachelor, and we kind of all run

203
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 1: the same page that honest or whatever, just creak and

204
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 1: say you know and and and moving will be happy

205
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: for that person. And it was so good to see Colton.

206
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: And it does seem like even just being around him

207
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: three months after this, everything seems he just seems happy,

208
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: or he seems more of a last seems more like

209
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: just it's like composed and mature, Like it's almost a

210
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: different copen in the best way possible. Um. So that

211
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 1: was like really refreshing to see it. I didn't blast

212
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: them with questions or ask him what happened or how

213
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: would happen? But Colton just seems much more of a

214
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: confident and comfortable, composed Colpan than I've ever seen, and

215
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: it was refreshing to see that. My last question is

216
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,719
Speaker 1: the three of you are so popular. The ladies love you,

217
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: and you have that perfect combination of looks and personality.

218
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 1: Is it like Beatlemania when you're walking around Vegas together? Well,

219
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,559
Speaker 1: I don't have I don't have the height or that

220
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 1: that Colton and Blake Calf. I let them walk in

221
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: front of me and I could just hide behind them. Um,

222
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: I forgot how big Colt. Colton is a monster. That

223
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: dude is like chick foot for two four five, pure

224
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: animal um, and I forgot I think he was but

225
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: it was you know, Vegas was actually really quiet this week.

226
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: I think just in general, this is like one of

227
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: their um quieter times. And there was I think it's

228
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: the largest rodeo of the year was this past weekend,

229
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 1: so it was relatively quiet. But um, you know, I

230
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: will say when you travel in pack just coming off

231
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: the show, and especially given Colton's notoriety, um yeah, that's

232
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 1: parts of attention. But then but best was when probably

233
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: the most attention we got was when we went to

234
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: the The Bachelor splot machine and we're like looking at

235
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: Ben and taking pictures to send them to Ben and

236
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 1: Busters chops a little bit, and everyone then thought we

237
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,839
Speaker 1: were there. Uh that was funny. Something get start that

238
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 1: I walked up because I mean, seeing a slot scheine

239
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: of yourself in Vegas is one of the weirdest things ever.

240
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: But I walked up to that slop machine, the stop

241
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: machine earlier this year, and I was just kind of

242
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: staring at it kind of an awe, and the people

243
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: playing it look back and it was one of the

244
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: best moments ever because like, you play this game and

245
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,199
Speaker 1: then you look back and you see the person in

246
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 1: real life and they do. People really enjoy that, so

247
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: it makes it fun for me. So I like seeing

248
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: those pictures. Thank you for sending me those. I like

249
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: when you think about Jason, it means Man, actually, Blake

250
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: and I played. We put five flocks, didn't We both

251
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: lost and we go just another another loss to throw

252
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: us in the Bachelor with oh Man. I wish I

253
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: could say made a little money on that loss, but

254
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: I don't, hey Jason, to sit you off. Colton has

255
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: a big gear ahead of him. Obviously, you are always

256
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: going to be a star in all of our hearts,

257
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: but it is Colton's time to shine. Your message for

258
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: Colton starting January seven, go and then we're gonna say goodbye. Yes,

259
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: So there's gonna be Peak, there's gonna be Valley. There's

260
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of commentary for the good that

261
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: and ugly, and I think through it all, the only

262
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: thing you could do is stay true to yourself, your family,

263
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: your friends, um, and whoever that loved one may be.

264
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: And to not let all of the noise distract you,

265
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: um from what you're looking to do in life and

266
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: and I'm sure with cold for that, build a family

267
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: and a career and everything of that nature. So stay

268
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: in your lane. Stay focused, and I wish you one

269
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: is all of that. Jason, You're the man. Thanks for

270
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: coming on the podcast, buddy. You know, Ashley. One thing

271
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: I've noticed with this group of guys that just got

272
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: off beck of season, and I had this a lot

273
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: with my group as well. There are some awesome dudes

274
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: in my season, including your fiance Jared, but they really

275
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: support each other. The one thing I was missing that

276
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: I kind of look back on and a little sad

277
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: about our little jealous of r NBS F was once

278
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: I was the Batchel. I don't remember many times being

279
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: able to get together with friends that have done the show,

280
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: like the Jason and Blake's and Colton's just got together,

281
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: because I know that it feels pretty isolating and lonely

282
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: right after you do that. It feels like Jason and

283
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: Blake have really gone out of their way to surround

284
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: Colton with love. That's a really cool thing. You don't

285
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: see that too often within the franchise. Yeah, I know that.

286
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: They obviously they're like, oh, I'm happy with anything. You know,

287
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: he'll be a great badgel It will be great better

288
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: badgelor than me. And of course there's like some some

289
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: white lying to that, but I think genuinely they're really

290
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: just great friends and they're really happy for Colton. Yeah,

291
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: that's a big bet. Colton appreciates it. I cannot wait

292
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: to get him on the podcast here coming up the

293
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: next few weeks. I know last week we talked about

294
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: getting Sean Booth on the podcast here. It's the holidays,

295
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: We're gonna spice things up, keep things Cherry. Sean will

296
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: be on very soon. Won't be this week he calls in,

297
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: but he will be coming on soon. And Sean was

298
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: one of those guys as well that kind of surrounded

299
00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: me with support. Ashley. One of your favor sponsors this podcast. Uh,

300
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 1: it's Crate and Barrel, and I know it's it touches

301
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 1: very close to your heart because of what's coming up

302

00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 1: and Jared are making together. Yeah. Actually, ever since talking

00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,440

Speaker 1: you know what, guys like, I don't want anything. I

431
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: don't need anything, like I just want to enjoy it.

432
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: I'm really excited to have the low key like then

433
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 1: just said, I'm a little I've been a little out

434
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: there time with the family and just enjoy enjoying quality

435
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,439
Speaker 1: family type. I think that once you hit about twenty eight,

436
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: you're like, I really don't need anything, and like, honestly,

437
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: please don't like give me random things that are going

438
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: to sit around because I don't have space for that

439
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 1: either exactly. I was like, you know, give me a

440
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 1: bottle of line or something like that like that, I

441
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 1: definitely will, you know, use then it won't be in

442
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 1: my house for the next year or so. That's a

443
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: good idea. Yeah, um, you know what I want. My

444
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: mom asked me yesterday, She's like, what do you and

445
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: Jared want? And I go, Mom, this is thirty I

446
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: want a bathfitter, bathfit or it's the perfect fit. You've

447
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 1: never heard bath fit or commercial? Okay, so I'm looking

448
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: it up. I always thought it was literally the grossest

449
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: thing ever because that like put like a plastic like

450
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: a plastic tub over your tub, uh, and it just

451
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 1: fits your tub. But they don't knock out the old stuff.

452
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,880
Speaker 1: So for me, and we're renting a place and we'll

453
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 1: probably continue to be in this place at least for

454
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: the next year and a half or so, I'm like,

455
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: I'm not going to put like a ton of money

456
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: into redoing the bathroom and like, you know, pay five

457
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: thousand dollars for redoing the bathroom. But we hate our

458
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: shower and all I want to do is fix the

459
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: bottom of the shower and bath bitter. They fitch shower

460
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 1: bottoms too, That's all I want. Oh actually, yeah, yeah,

461
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: I loved it up yesterday. I was very excited to

462
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: see they did showers. Oh Astley, you're getting old. Like

463
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: the transition here though, is what do you and Jared want?

464
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,360
Speaker 1: That's a big deal in Blake, I actually today got

465
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: to give you a job title on this video that

466
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: we created. In Your job title is pursuer of love. Blake,

467
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 1: looking back on two eighteen, you pursued love hard, you

468
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: did fall in love, You've you've admitted that, um, but

469
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: you are single now. What is your favorite just overall

470
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: memory of two thou eighteen. Oh wow, gosh, it's I was.

471
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: You know, it's kind of crazy because I was looking

472
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 1: kind of back over the last year at some time

473
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 1: to do that. I was like, it's been insane, but

474
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 1: I can't a year from now where I'm now, you know,

475
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: compared to year ago. It is just absolutely incredible with I. God,

476
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: the favorite moment um, you know, it might be that

477
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,959
Speaker 1: that first night in the mansion, just because it all

478
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 1: kind of came, you know, because you're leading up to that,

479
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: you still don't know if you're like an alternate or

480
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 1: you're you're going through all these motions. It's all stressful,

481
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 1: but then want to get out there the first time,

482
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: you know, I was on an ox. I wasn't in

483
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 1: the limo, but blocked up on that ox and I

484
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 1: saw back there. Once I got done with that first conversation,

485
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 1: stacking in the mansion and meeting all the guys out

486
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: follow me my best probably the best day, would say,

487
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: that's a very nostalgic night. It was. It was. It

488
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: seems so surreal because like I knew the show and

489
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 1: like being in the mansion and it's almost like a

490
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: movie set on that first night, you know, so that

491
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 1: was that was quite the experience for sure. You know

492
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: you mentioned being an alternate because um I also mentioned

493
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: this on our podcast. I think it was with Chris

494
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 1: and Crystal a couple of weeks ago. There are like

495
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: two or three alternates that sit in the hotel before

496
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 1: you know, for like three days before heading over to

497
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: the mansion with the rest of the cast heads over

498
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: to the to the mansion, and they don't even know

499
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 1: that they are backups, and then what the news is broken?

500
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,679
Speaker 1: When is the news broken to them that they are

501
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: not actually going forward with the season. That is heartbreaking

502
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: and I think we need to get some alternates on

503
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: this podcast to talk about that feeling that goes through that. Yeah,

504
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 1: because I couldn't believe that that, Like in the contract

505
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: it says, I'm like you could possibly an alternate, and

506
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 1: I was like, what the hell I'm buying you know,

507
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: some clothes, I'm doing all this stuff, and I felt

508
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: im in there and they get suff before you get

509
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 1: a chance, like this would be awful. So I heard.

510
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: I do remember reading something I think it was nick

511
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 1: Are Already season about a girl who was an alternate

512
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: and I remember reading something on Instagram about it. Right,

513
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: So we only know about these alternates through the contract

514
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 1: because it is in the contract, and it definitely freaks

515
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 1: us out. You're like, wait, what if I am that one,

516
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 1: two or three person um? But I wonder if they

517
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 1: fly them out. I wonder if they do stay in

518
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: that hotel the night before, the nights before. I bet

519
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 1: you that they have them like on speed dial. I

520
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: would think there's no way they fly him out, put

521
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: him up, And then I would think, yeah, there's no

522
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: way either of you will ever be alternates for anything

523
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: in life. So I don't I don't know where your

524
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: mind is going. Both of your all stars in everybody's heart,

525
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: we just feel bad for those alternates. I actually was

526
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: at an event um yesterday for Capital one, and once

527
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: again my life consists of people coming up to me going,

528
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: I love your podcast. I absolutely adore Ashley. Actually, one

529
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: of our biggest fans was randomly my waitress at the

530
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: restaurant in bel Mar, and she came up to me

531
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: and said, please do me a favor until Ashley, I

532
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: Connettie that I absolutely love her, and I promised her

533
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: I would, So once again, my life consists of either

534
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: taking pictures of Blake or just saying how great Ashley

535
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: is that? Every way, then I gotta give you a

536
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 1: sut out your story yesterday when you were ice skating,

537
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: I left at that thing for like fifteen minutes whatever,

538
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 1: whatever story that was a laughing so hard in the

539
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: airport yesterday. I'm just not a good ice skater, Blake.

540
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: I don't you know. I feel everybody always says you

541
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: get this because you're in shape, and you're good looking

542
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: and you're strong. So people always come up to us

543
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: and they go, oh, you're an athlete, You'll you'll be

544
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: fine at this, And then when I do it, I'm

545
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: never good, which must mean I'm not actually an athlete,

546
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: but for some reason people still assume I am. I

547
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 1: like to think I am. I'm good at some things,

548
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: not good at others. Ice skating is not it different,

549
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: It's it's just difficult. Every time it hurts. You're better

550
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: than me last year, dint Winter Games that. Remember how

551
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 1: bad I was? Remember how that how long it took

552
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: me to go around that rank three times? You're so bad. Actually,

553
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: let's talk about this for a second before you say

554
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: goodbye to Blake. Do you have a second. Yep, Okay,

555
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: Win Our Games one of the best things I've ever

556
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: done in back to Nation. It was a blast. It

557
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: was fun, it was revealing, it was authentic. It helped

558
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: me kind of process through some stuff. Win Our Games

559
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: was a really good time. And the Bachelor franchise, I guess,

560
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: has chosen not to do it this year. But if

561
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: they would have asked you to do Win Our Games,

562
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: would you have said yes, Yeah, aft I would have.

563
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: I just really think I would have. I mean when

564
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: didn't When did you film in February? Right? No, it

565
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: felt it filmed in early December? Oh, early December round.

566
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: I still think that would have been ready, I do like,

567
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 1: I definitely think that it would have been. And I

568
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 1: played hockey for six years, so I know what I skate,

569
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: I know it's so bored. I know how to do

570
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: all those things. So I would have been a blast

571
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: for me. I think it really enjoyed it so kind

572
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: of and they decided not to do it. Well, who

573
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,959
Speaker 1: knows where, whether it was just because there wasn't an

574
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: actual Olympics. Maybe it'll come back. Oh what would the

575
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 1: year be? Kind of year it would be two years

576
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: from now? Oh my god, you're right February. God for you,

577
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 1: I don't be relevant. Then Michael g came on and

578
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: he's he's an antique in the franchise. So really there,

579
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: I'll keep hope out. Hey, Blake, before we send you

580
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: off here Roulette asking all of the people that call in, uh,

581
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: what is their message for Colton starting his bachelor legacy

582
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 1: on January seven? Blake, if you had a moment to

583
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: just pour into Colton, what would that be? And then

584
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 1: we'll say see you later to you? Yeah? So, I mean, yeah,

585
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: I've had I've been lucky enough. I've been down in

586
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: a couple of times. Don't know where he's at and everything,

587
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: and I don't know, he spoilers everything really close with it,

588
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: but I do know, you know, I just I would

589
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: like to tell him and I have told him, but

590
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: check the set up and that this is gonna be

591
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 1: probably the hardest three or four months of his life,

592
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 1: but all of it will be worth it at the

593
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: end of five step well, you know, so hopefully I

594
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: keeps the set up through all of this. Uh. And

595
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: they threw himself even I mean during filming obviously, but

596
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: even you know, watching and seeing and reading all the

597
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: comments on that fun stuff. So that's what i'd have

598
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: to say to him. The man, Hey, you guys have

599
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: been great friends to Colton along the way, Ashton, I

600

609
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: really hard normal only to find the correct measurements or

610
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: sizes when I do chop online when I'm not shoving

611
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 1: with litote. There have been so many things where I've

612
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: ordered them and it doesn't fit because I didn't get

613
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: to try it on the store, and then I forget

614
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: to return it back in time to get my money

615
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: back or in exchange, and it's just so annoying, and

616
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: then I'm like, oh man, I'm just gonna end up

617
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: donating this. But there's a site called letote, and they

618
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: take the stress out of getting dressed. They find the

619
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: right styles in the right size, delivered to your door,

620
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: and when you're done you can just send it back.

621
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 1: Takes your measurements and ratings and learns not just about

622
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: your size, but how you like your clothes to fit,

623
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: because some people like them being a little bit more

624
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: nineties grudge, grudge, and then some people like get a

625
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: little bit more like early two thousand's type and Lottote

626
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: measures pieces by brand with their fit and steam stress

627

Speaker 1: teams to match to universal sizes and your specific sizing.

628
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: Rent pieces that fit, and then send them back when

Speaker 1: This is maternity fantastic with letote because you're growing sizes

633
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: almost every day, so why shop and spend the money

634
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: when you can really just get something, wear it and

716
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 1: How did you meet this girl? Uh? He was associated

717
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:23,040

Speaker 1: you go. That's all we needed. Okay, Jordan's, before we

723
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 1: move on from this wonderful topic, what really stood out

724
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:46,839
Speaker 1: to you? We know that you've probably gotten a ton

725
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 1: of attention over the last year, has changed your dating

726
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: perspective a lot. America film Love with You on Bachelor

727
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: in Paradise, so you obviously have gotten a lot of interest.

728
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 1: What about this partner stood out to you? You know,

729
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: just the ability to stay so like, I don't know,

730
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:10,240
Speaker 1: down to earth and sensible and just you know, knowing

Speaker 1: when it's right, the right time to stay, the right thing.

732
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: And it's it's just, I mean, you know, just it

733
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: just happens. It's not really it's the whole recipe. I think.

734
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 1: I don't think it's one thing that sticks out that

735
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:24,799
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's just a whole deal, you know. So yeah,

736
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: not against him. That's what actually says about Jared. She

737
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,000

738
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:32,719

739
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,239

740
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,400

741
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,399
Speaker 1: you can barely even recognize that they're there, because life

742
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 1: doesn't I guess what you're saying. Actually, it just feels

743
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: like life always has it just increased a lot with

744
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:51,560

Speaker 1: Hill start airing again? It's it's coming up in the spring.

789
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's like an official date, but

790
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 1: I know that the spring is when they explained it

791
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:44,799
Speaker 1: for it to be back. But I wish you would

792
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:46,920
Speaker 1: just start now, like they're filming it right now. So

793
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 1: every time I sit down with steps she's got like

794
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 1: some juicy bit of gossip from the show. And from

795
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 1: what I understand, if you guys like The Hills before,

796
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 1: it's gonna be bigger, better and more ridiculous. All these

797
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,880
Speaker 1: people ruggle back same but like she said, they just

798
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:13,360
Speaker 1: live in bigger houses. About So, Stephanie Pratt, sister of sponsor,

799
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 1: and Heidi will all be on the show. Will Lauren

800
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 1: Conrad be on the show? I don't think uh, Elsie

801
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: is on um. But don't worry because they're replacing those

802
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: who aren't on the show. Um do you do you

803
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:35,879
Speaker 1: remember the show The OC? Yesh, Misha Barton is gonna

804
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 1: be honestn't shake. Misha freaking Barton is going to be

805
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 1: on the show, which is this awesome and also weird

806
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: because like The Hills was like skin off the reality

807
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 1: version of the OC and now she's a part of

808
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 1: the show. So life imaginating life or whatever. That's good.

809
00:44:56,360 --> 00:45:00,320
Speaker 1: They say, No, it's so meta and so weird. So

810
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's gonna be a lot of su tier shed.

811
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not sure if it's gonna be on

812
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:08,839
Speaker 1: the same level of actually I Connetti, but we can

813
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: we can only hope that the drama between Steps and

814
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 1: Spencer will continue on UM and all the other like

815
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 1: just crazy that it happens from The Hills. It's so

816
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:25,839
Speaker 1: unique in my eyes that, uh, the show is having

817
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 1: one of their contestants actually on a podcast to talk

818
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 1: about the behind the scenes. I mean, you're gonna be

819
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 1: able to dig deep into the psyche of every single

820
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 1: person on this show because you have a co host

821
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:40,839
Speaker 1: who's been there. Okay, So what I think everyone loves

822
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:42,879
Speaker 1: about your guys the show is because you guys get

823
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,880
Speaker 1: to give like the behind the scene t on the

824
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 1: battor I you can say like, well, uh, they cut

825
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:51,320
Speaker 1: it weird there, or like I didn't really mean to

826
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:54,319
Speaker 1: be to be said right there. Um, all that kind

827
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 1: of like interesting gossip from behind the scenes, and I

828
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 1: think we're gonna get the exacting interesting gossip and like

829
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 1: also there's gonna be storylines where we're gonna want more,

830
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:05,800
Speaker 1: you know, and she'll be able to expound upon it.

831
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:08,359
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna be there kind of driving the ship

832
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,360
Speaker 1: and also like this kind of pulling things down a

833
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:16,440
Speaker 1: step because, to be honest with you, Um, she's very

834
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 1: easy to like get to admit to things. So I'm

835
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 1: pretty sure we're gonna get in trouble with uh with

836
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,759
Speaker 1: like nondisclosure agreements because you might reveal things that she's

837
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 1: not supposed to. Um. But I am a feeling that

838
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 1: everyone's really going to like like the show. It's gonna

839
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 1: be a good companion piece for the Hill. Awesome man. Well,

840
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 1: hey Wells, thanks for coming into the holiday Extravaganza hosted

845
00:46:52,600 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 1: as I walk off? Yeah, thanks, thank you, unbelievable. I

846
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:08,400
Speaker 1: love you guys. Oh he's ridiculous that guy. That guy's

847
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 1: had a crazy two thousand eighteen, hasn't he. Yes, I

848
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:14,359
Speaker 1: really did want to ask where he and Sarah will

849
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:16,360
Speaker 1: be having their New Year's you've kissed, but we were

850
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 1: breaking up so badly there, I didn't want to start

851
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:22,880
Speaker 1: another conversation. I get it. Yeah, that's one of the

852
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 1: best couples of two eighteen in my eyes. I just

853
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:29,279
Speaker 1: I really love them together. I love being around them

854
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:33,759
Speaker 1: um together. It's one of those couples that, you know,

855
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 1: maybe the outside thinks they're just, you know, a celebrity couple,

856
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:39,919
Speaker 1: and they're really not. Like they love each other. Yeah,

857
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 1: they really do. Okay, so are we taking another caller?

858
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 1: What I can't hear you? Let me let me take

859
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 1: that from what you just said. They love each other

860
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:57,840
Speaker 1: and but I know that their kisses will be brushed

861
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 1: with quip. Okay, Yeah, those two are so into each other.

862
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 1: And I bet you that their New Year's Eve kiss

863
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 1: is going to be so minty fresh, because I know

864
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:11,680
Speaker 1: that they both use QUIP. Okay, I don't actually know that,

865
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 1: but Wells has definitely heard of EQUIP through our podcast before,

866
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:17,879
Speaker 1: so I hope he's taken our advice. It's that time

867
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:20,879
Speaker 1: of year for Christmas cards and Christmas parties and it's

868
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:25,800
Speaker 1: all about getting your teeth clean and super white, and

869
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 1: when we're eating way too many sweets this time of year,

870
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 1: we need to be brushing with our QUIP because it's

871
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:36,360
Speaker 1: gonna alleviate those cavities and it's going to be a

872
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:39,400
Speaker 1: perfect gift for anyone, especially the traveler in your life.

873
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 1: It's something that people really want this year. It has

874
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:46,800
Speaker 1: been so highly recommended by dental professionals. We use this

875
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 1: toothbrush at least twice a day. Um. It makes your

876
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 1: travels around the holiday season clean and easy because they

877
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 1: have a multi use cover that mounts the mirror and

878
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:58,840
Speaker 1: then you slide it over your bristles so that you

879
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about out the flush of your

880
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:05,880
Speaker 1: toilet getting your bristles all dirty. It also doesn't require

881
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 1: a chunky charger like so many other electric toothbrushes, And

882
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:13,799
Speaker 1: what is so unbelievable with Clip is that it runs

883
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 1: for three months on one charge. I know that other

884
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 1: electric toothbrushes they basically charge for like maybe a week

885
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 1: on one charge, and then all of a sudden you're

886
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 1: getting that blinking light that you need to charge it again.

887
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 1: Not with Quip. Everyone needs a good toothbrush. Everyone needs brushes.

888
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 1: So if you're having a challenging time picking out a

889
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:37,440
Speaker 1: gift for somebody, Equip is probably the way to go.

890
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 1: You know they're gonna use it. So Quip looks like

891
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:43,720
Speaker 1: a big ticket tech gift, but it has a stocking

892
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 1: stuffer price. It starts at just and if you go

Speaker 1: It's a seasonal box with full size beauty, fitness and

912
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:52,800
Speaker 1: lifestyle products. Their winter box is epic or as some

913
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:57,839
Speaker 1: people say, dope, that's like a nit throw from Mark

914
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:04,720
Speaker 1: and Graham, body cream from Anthropology, dry shampoo from Orbit.

915
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:09,320
Speaker 1: But like this is the celebrity stylists go to dry shampoo.

916
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:11,920
Speaker 1: I don't even know. See, honestly, I still don't know

917
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:15,440
Speaker 1: how dry shampoo works. But I'm I'm assuming if celebrities

918
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 1: use it, do you use it? Yes, it serves the

919
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:22,359
Speaker 1: oil so you don't have to wash your hair as much. Yeah,

920
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:24,320
Speaker 1: I see, I still don't get it, but you use it,

921
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 1: so other people should as well. Don't miss out because

922
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:29,359
Speaker 1: they sell out fast. And when we say fast, we mean,

944
00:52:57,320 --> 00:53:01,279
Speaker 1: friends holiday parties on my way, um, because so many

945
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 1: people have like kids and stuff now, so it's like

946
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 1: you gotta go and drop off the presence and um,

947
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:09,320
Speaker 1: you know, having us a cake or something, um, and

948
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:12,120
Speaker 1: then we go to Tahoe and we go skiing. So yeah,

949
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:14,440
Speaker 1: that's what it's been the last couple of years, and

950
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 1: it is good. It's tyle where you spend a lot

951
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:19,440
Speaker 1: of your time. I know that our producer Amy has

952
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:21,680
Speaker 1: randomly ran into you at a couple of the shops

953
00:53:21,719 --> 00:53:25,319
Speaker 1: in Tahoe. Yeah, it's true. Yeah, I've went to time

954
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:27,440
Speaker 1: since I was like seven years old, so I grew

955
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:29,600
Speaker 1: up going to the mountains and going skiing and hiking

956
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 1: and back packing and all that good stuff. So yeah,

957
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:34,480
Speaker 1: I do spend It's only it's a four hour drive

958
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 1: from San Francisco, so it's not too bad. So it's

959
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:39,920
Speaker 1: sort of like a good little getaway spot. You know.

960
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:42,440
Speaker 1: It's always great to have panmatricians. Actually, I gotta tell

961
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:45,319
Speaker 1: you something really quick. My mom calls me the other

962
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:48,919
Speaker 1: day she says, I have to apologize. I said about

963
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:51,480
Speaker 1: what Mom, You've been a great Mom, I love you dearly.

964
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 1: We still talk all the time. We're all tight um.

965
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:57,560
Speaker 1: Everything's good, and she goes, I just had an interview

966
00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:01,640
Speaker 1: one of a local little ported in talk to my parents,

967
00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:04,399
Speaker 1: and they said, Okay, you guys are such a tight

968
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:06,760
Speaker 1: knit family. You obviously have a ton of memories together,

969
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:09,320
Speaker 1: which we do. And they said, what are some of

970
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:13,879
Speaker 1: your family holiday traditions? And my mom broke down because

971
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:17,320
Speaker 1: we don't have anything. I mean that, we literally have zero.

972
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 1: We couldn't even think of a holiday tradition. The only

973
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 1: thing we can think of is UM. When I was younger,

974
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 1: we used to go to midnight church service and do

975
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:27,400
Speaker 1: the candle lighting, which I love UM, and listen to

976
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:30,680
Speaker 1: the Holy Night. But my family, out of all the

977
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:35,000
Speaker 1: good things that they've done, my parents epically failed on traditions.

978
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:38,160
Speaker 1: You know, I've been I am right there with you,

979
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 1: which is kind of why I'm going to Rhode Island

980
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:45,400
Speaker 1: for Christmas. And I didn't fight for having Christmas at

981
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:48,360
Speaker 1: my place because for Thanksgiving we usually have the extended

982
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:50,759
Speaker 1: family come over. That's our tradition. Like we've never had

983
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 1: a Thanksgiving just the four immediate family. We always share

984
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:57,920
Speaker 1: that with other people. But for Christmas. It's it's less

985
00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:00,440
Speaker 1: of tradition, I would say, and more of just cycle

986
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 1: of the day. We wake up, we open get you know,

987
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 1: we get our coffee, we open gifts. We'd like play

988
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:10,000
Speaker 1: with our gifts, you know, like set them up, batteries

989
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:13,480
Speaker 1: in them, watch whatever we got, look there, books that stuff,

990
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:15,880
Speaker 1: and then we usually go to a movie and then

991
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 1: we go out to dinner. So it's if that's tradition,

992
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 1: then that's tradition. But it's not like we have like

993
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:24,959
Speaker 1: these little nuanced things that we definitely do. We would

994
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:29,440
Speaker 1: also go to Christmas Um, Christmas Eve service, we do

995
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 1: the whole candle lighting thing. I always love Christmas Eve service.

996
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:35,719
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's yeah, I feel like I'm in the

997
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:38,040
Speaker 1: same boat with you guys. Then because Christmas Day, like

998
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 1: actual Christmas Day, we don't do anything. We just like

999
00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 1: maybe exchange a couple of gifts. But then that's kind

1000
00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:45,839
Speaker 1: of like if we don't have like huge tradition, it's

1001
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:48,160
Speaker 1: usually just like if we can see family and eat

1002
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:52,279
Speaker 1: the listious when we're good tradition, guys are making my

1003
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:55,080
Speaker 1: mom feel a lot better right now. Can't call and

1004
00:55:55,160 --> 00:56:00,239
Speaker 1: apologize for that, Well, yeah she did that. That was tough. Funny.

1005
00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:01,480
Speaker 1: I could tell she was nervous too. Was one of

1006
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:03,120
Speaker 1: those phone calls that I thought, like, something bad is

1007
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:05,240
Speaker 1: gonna be said, And all she said was I'm sorry,

1008
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:08,480
Speaker 1: And I was like, mom for what? Not having traditional mom?

1009
00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:11,359
Speaker 1: Come on, We're good, everything's good. A lot of love

1010
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:14,439
Speaker 1: around here, an Alice. We know we do keep you forever.

1011
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:16,239
Speaker 1: You've got a busy life going on. You look back

1012
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:18,480
Speaker 1: up two thousand eighteen. This has been a good year

1013
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:20,520
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways and also a hard year

1014
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:22,839
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways. What is your favorite though

1015
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:30,320
Speaker 1: memory of two thousand eighteen? Oh man uh Um. I

1016
00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:33,800
Speaker 1: think probably like officially moving into my house. Maybe that

1017
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:36,520
Speaker 1: was like a really big milestone for me. I bought

1018
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:40,040
Speaker 1: it um in two thousand seventeen, and it ended up

1019
00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:43,080
Speaker 1: being like a total gut job, and so I wasn't able.

1020
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 1: I was just like doing a remodel for you know,

1021
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:50,000
Speaker 1: the first year of owning it practically, so um, Like

1022
00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:51,920
Speaker 1: I looked back at last year and it was like,

1023
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:54,799
Speaker 1: gut it. Just now I'm living in it and that's

1024
00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:58,120
Speaker 1: really awesome. Um. That's probably like one of my biggest

1025
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:00,439
Speaker 1: accomplishments and kind of like the thing that I'm most

1026
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:03,360
Speaker 1: excited about. But yeah, it was. As you guys know,

1027
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:05,120
Speaker 1: it's a roller coaster every year for me for sure,

1028
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 1: So I feel like there's even though there was some

1029
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:09,840
Speaker 1: of my highest highs, like definitely some of my lowest

1030
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:14,279
Speaker 1: mos as well. You know. Um yeah, um. I have

1031
00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:17,320
Speaker 1: to say, as a single person, I literally hated New

1032
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:20,320
Speaker 1: Year's Eve. I will Jared will be my first New

1033
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:23,320
Speaker 1: Year's Eve kiss of all time at the age of

1034
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 1: thirty on this year's eve. I'm really glad I got

1035
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 1: to save that for him. And uh Annalys, are you

1036
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:37,400
Speaker 1: spending New Year's with anyone? No? Uh, definitely not definitely single,

1037
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:41,880
Speaker 1: but I'm feeling like I'm ready to start dating. Um. Yeah.

1038
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:44,040
Speaker 1: Last year was I think actually my first pie ever

1039
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 1: New Year's kiss, like at New Year's you know, like

1040
00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:50,640
Speaker 1: when the when it was midnight. Um. But yeah, I

1041
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:52,080
Speaker 1: feel like I'm sort of in the same boat. I've

1042
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:54,560
Speaker 1: never really had a New Year's he's kiss. Um that

1043
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:57,160
Speaker 1: really meant something, I guess too. You know. Sometimes it's

1044
00:57:57,200 --> 00:58:00,520
Speaker 1: just like a like, okay, we got no one else, um,

1045
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:05,840
Speaker 1: but but yeah, no, nothing, no one to kiss this year.

1046
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 1: All right, Well we gotta follow that question up would

1047
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:12,760
Speaker 1: you do Paradise again? Um, I don't know. I think

1048
00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:15,320
Speaker 1: you should be something I don't know. Honestly, it's the

1049
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:17,800
Speaker 1: ways away, so because who knows what could happen in

1050
00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:20,800
Speaker 1: in the time from now and then. But if I'm

1051
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:22,680
Speaker 1: not dating somebody, then I think I would be open

1052
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:25,000
Speaker 1: to it. Would you do Paradise with that alone? Though?

1053
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:27,440
Speaker 1: It's gonna be so much less fun. I know it's

1054
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:29,840
Speaker 1: gonna be so different. I feel like I just don't

1055
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:32,320
Speaker 1: know what what the Bactor franchise isn't even gonna look

1056
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:37,360
Speaker 1: like without him. It feels weird. It is a weird time.

1057
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 1: I don't know how this is gonna be. We're all

1058
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 1: going to miss Alan. Analyze. You better go on Paradise

1059
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:44,960
Speaker 1: because if not, we're going to miss you. Hey, thank

1067
00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:16,080
Speaker 1: that show in yours? All right, we got another color man.

1068
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:27,280
Speaker 1: They're just putting in Hello Baby, it's just the person

1069
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:31,680
Speaker 1: we wanted to hear from. Oh, Babby, we want to

1070
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 1: talk about Christmas traditions, but we really want to talk

1071
00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:38,120
Speaker 1: about what's going on with you in Peter Crass. Nothing

1072
00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:40,520
Speaker 1: is going on with Peter Cross and I, oh, come on,

1073
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:45,120
Speaker 1: absolutely nothing. Was there something before? Like, was there something

1074
00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:49,600
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago? I wouldn't say was something serious?

1075
00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:52,240
Speaker 1: How does this kind of stuff get out? I mean,

1076
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:54,840
Speaker 1: there's okay, you don't go into details. I know there

1077
00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:57,480
Speaker 1: is probably something either made out or you like hung

1078
00:59:57,520 --> 00:59:59,880
Speaker 1: out one night, whatever that was, that's up to you, baby,

1079
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:03,240
Speaker 1: But how do the people find out so quickly that

1080
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:05,920
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff happens? I mean, well, like I'm

1081
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:08,000
Speaker 1: just gonna clarify and I don't know if he'll be

1082
01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 1: popular with it, but like him and I actually connected

1083
01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:14,080
Speaker 1: right after I got that comparative, so that's kind of

1084
01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:16,080
Speaker 1: like that's when it kind of like started off. But

1085
01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:18,640
Speaker 1: then we just we stayed friends. And then he was

1086
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:21,400
Speaker 1: visiting Miami and I was like, well, why don't we

1087
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:22,720
Speaker 1: go to a heat game? And one of my good

1088
01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:25,880
Speaker 1: friends helped me up with six feet. Turns out the

1089
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:28,400
Speaker 1: Hassan Whiteside decided to walk out in the fourth quarter

1090
01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:30,880
Speaker 1: and they got this clip and we happened to be

1091
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:33,440
Speaker 1: sitting right by the locker room. So this clip is

1092
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:35,760
Speaker 1: like playing on bleadering court HPN. I guess that's your

1093
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:38,400
Speaker 1: fans caught a glimpse of it, and then it just

1094
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:44,200
Speaker 1: exploded into something that you know, Yeah, one thing led

1095
01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:47,600
Speaker 1: to another. But yeah, so you were there with four

1096
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:52,360
Speaker 1: other friends. No, no, no, it was just him and I. Oh,

1097
01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 1: I thought you said six seats six seats. Yeah. Um,

1098
01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:02,480
Speaker 1: thank you for clarifying. I know it's been something we've

1099
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:04,440
Speaker 1: discussed on the podcast before. We've got to do. This

1100
01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:06,880
Speaker 1: is what the podcast is about. Thanks for clarifying that.

1101
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:10,160
Speaker 1: I know though that you are a hot commodity these days.

1102
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:12,560
Speaker 1: And I mean this with all due respect to you.

1103
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:21,200
Speaker 1: You're looking good, Dame Day like you is incredible. Your

1104
01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:24,640
Speaker 1: phase is always fantastic. Well, I've been well, thank you.

1105
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:27,200
Speaker 1: I've been working really hard. I think it's just you know,

1106
01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:30,400
Speaker 1: when you think about the whole, that my whole since

1107
01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:34,360
Speaker 1: September last year through you know, the summer, it's been

1108
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:36,520
Speaker 1: even if I had time off from like filming, your

1109
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:39,479
Speaker 1: your mind and your body. Everything's like set on the show.

1110
01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:42,880
Speaker 1: So I didn't really have time to just like disconnect

1111
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:45,000
Speaker 1: and just be by myself. And once I took a

1112
01:01:45,080 --> 01:01:49,400
Speaker 1: couple of months after um Colton's announcement in New York

1113
01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:52,160
Speaker 1: with Good Morning America, I was like, you know, if

1114
01:01:52,160 --> 01:01:55,240
Speaker 1: I don't take this time now to just like like reset,

1115
01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:58,280
Speaker 1: I'm not. I really wanted to start off the year

1116
01:01:58,480 --> 01:02:01,919
Speaker 1: healthy and feeling good in my own skin. So hard

1117
01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:04,680
Speaker 1: work pays off side, and thank you, thank you well,

1118
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:09,080
Speaker 1: it sure does. It is all over your Instagram proving that, Um,

1119
01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:11,800
Speaker 1: you have a big family, lots of girls in your family.

1120
01:02:12,080 --> 01:02:17,360
Speaker 1: What is Christmas like? So this year, my older sister

1121
01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:21,160
Speaker 1: is actually meeting with her husband's family on this big

1122
01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 1: cruise and they're going to Europe and they're spending the

1123
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:27,240
Speaker 1: dyear in Paris. Or family is kind of broken up. Um,

1124
01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:32,480
Speaker 1: but I'm staying pushed because my sisters deal with my

1125
01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:34,960
Speaker 1: nephew and my niece and it'll just be like a

1126
01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:37,640
Speaker 1: small it's more of an into my family gathering this year.

1127
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:40,800
Speaker 1: We'll take it easy. So there's let's just clarify then

1128
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:43,600
Speaker 1: before we get into detailed holiday plans. You're there's no

1129
01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:47,160
Speaker 1: kissing or celebrating with a significant other for you this

1130
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:55,760
Speaker 1: holiday season. Um, possibly maybe to tell us anything about

1131
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:59,120
Speaker 1: this well, I mean this is like I don't want

1132
01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:00,920
Speaker 1: to drink it, but this guy is kind of like

1133
01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:05,240
Speaker 1: too good to be true. So um, kind of just

1134
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:09,000
Speaker 1: like everything I would want in a person, and like

1135
01:03:09,120 --> 01:03:11,360
Speaker 1: I believe in like projecting the kind of person that

1136
01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:13,360
Speaker 1: you want and asking a certain way just to be

1137
01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:15,200
Speaker 1: able to attract that kind of person like meet in

1138
01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:18,600
Speaker 1: your life. And I think I may have found that guy.

1139
01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:21,240
Speaker 1: But I want to tread lightly just because you know,

1140
01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:24,040
Speaker 1: you can get all caught up reeling. But yeah, hopefully

1141
01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:26,680
Speaker 1: for the news will be funny together. Okay, So, baby,

1142
01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:30,120
Speaker 1: this is a guy that we don't know, nobody knows him, no,

1143
01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:34,960
Speaker 1: and it's not Peter Crown. Baby gonna make me cry.

1144
01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:37,959
Speaker 1: I know, I'm so happy for you. I really hope

1145
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:44,800
Speaker 1: this is the one. Okay, um, baby, tell me you

1146
01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:47,560
Speaker 1: feel like the holidays are the time for love. I mean,

1147
01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:49,840
Speaker 1: we've talked to a few people who have called it

1148
01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 1: now from Bachelor Nation, and first off, thank you for

1149
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:55,240
Speaker 1: everybody that has and those the people that have called in.

1150
01:03:55,920 --> 01:03:58,600
Speaker 1: Are you there on the pursuit of love, have found love,

1151
01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:00,880
Speaker 1: and they haven't read openly in a minute that they're

1152
01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:03,520
Speaker 1: not going to be spending the holidays with a significant other.

1153
01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:07,120
Speaker 1: What is going on? There must be something in the water. No,

1154
01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:10,080
Speaker 1: I mean that was me for a few years. I

1155
01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:12,400
Speaker 1: don't think it's bad. It's anything. You just find a

1156
01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:14,280
Speaker 1: bunch of single friends and you go out and party

1157
01:04:14,280 --> 01:04:18,640
Speaker 1: a lot more than the typical person um. But I

1158
01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:22,240
Speaker 1: don't think it's a bad thing. You think it's bad

1159
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:25,240
Speaker 1: and I'll have like a significant No, No, I think

1160
01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:27,440
Speaker 1: I'm not complaining. I have one this year, and it's

1161
01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:30,560
Speaker 1: just like a little like I'm really excited about it.

1162
01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:34,840
Speaker 1: But for the most part, like I think that there's

1163
01:04:34,880 --> 01:04:38,160
Speaker 1: so much going on with your family sometimes that it's

1164
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:40,560
Speaker 1: kind of good when you don't have someone. I think.

1165
01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:42,720
Speaker 1: I do think that this time of year does make

1166
01:04:42,760 --> 01:04:46,760
Speaker 1: you really nostalgic and it maybe maybe you're not with somebody.

1167
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:49,040
Speaker 1: Bit sometimes it makes you think of somebody that you

1168
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:51,480
Speaker 1: maybe could have been with or you have in the past.

1169
01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:54,960
Speaker 1: So if you're single, I assume that there's usually that

1170
01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:58,200
Speaker 1: going on in your brain. Yeah, I mean, I guess

1171
01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:00,760
Speaker 1: last year, the last year I had just went from

1172
01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:05,440
Speaker 1: Winter Games and I I was not thinking about a relationship.

1173
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:10,960
Speaker 1: Now you weren't. Okay, Well, let's leave you with this

1188
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:02,320

Speaker 1: He's about to be the Bachelor starting January seven on ABC.

1191
01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:14,760
Speaker 1: If you had some advice for Colton today, what would

1192
01:06:14,800 --> 01:06:18,640
Speaker 1: it be uh, continue to go with your guts And

1193
01:06:19,040 --> 01:06:22,120
Speaker 1: I spent two sungle Morning American readingtare it but don't

1194
01:06:22,120 --> 01:06:26,439
Speaker 1: be afraid to ask for their clubit score your credit score? Yes,

1195
01:06:26,840 --> 01:06:28,800
Speaker 1: him and I, it's so funny. We were talking. Started

1196
01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:30,960
Speaker 1: there's like an airplace flying above me right now, But

1197
01:06:31,120 --> 01:06:32,800
Speaker 1: him and I were talking and like, I don't think

1198
01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:36,280
Speaker 1: I think people overlook like you're so like wrapped up

1199
01:06:36,320 --> 01:06:39,720
Speaker 1: into a feeling and love, and like you don't think

1200
01:06:39,800 --> 01:06:43,040
Speaker 1: of the world's outside of bachelor, like what you know,

1201
01:06:43,160 --> 01:06:45,080
Speaker 1: like how do they manage your finances? Like what are

1202
01:06:45,080 --> 01:06:47,560
Speaker 1: their long term girls? So him and I had like

1203
01:06:47,640 --> 01:06:50,760
Speaker 1: a little joke for like or one one can I

1204
01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:53,080
Speaker 1: ask for their credit score? And I'm like, uh, that

1205
01:06:53,280 --> 01:06:56,800
Speaker 1: is definitely a question on my list. Even before your

1206
01:06:56,840 --> 01:07:00,240
Speaker 1: official I had a girlfriend asked her now husband their

1207
01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:04,320
Speaker 1: second day his credit was. I think it's completely fair.

1208
01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:06,360

1226
01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:03,440
Speaker 1: about this the other day. Actually, I feel like so

1227
01:08:03,560 --> 01:08:05,520
Speaker 1: much of our kind of generation of Batchel Nation just

1228
01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:08,040

1229
01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:11,280

1230
01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:14,480

Speaker 1: the weekend. Jared and I filmed a small film. He

1245
01:09:05,360 --> 01:09:07,200
Speaker 1: has a friend from Rhode Island who's been living out

1246

Speaker 1: here in life for like five years. He's a director

1247
01:09:09,439 --> 01:09:11,720
Speaker 1: and sometimes he does these small films. So Jared and

1248
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:13,880
Speaker 1: I were the only two characters in this film. And

1249
01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:15,400

01:09:31,880 --> 01:09:34,519

01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:37,720
Speaker 1: like it was normal in the fifties or today. And

Speaker 1: a year that I meet somebody that I will be

1410
01:19:12,400 --> 01:19:15,559
Speaker 1: spending life with. And that brings up a good point. Uh.

1411
01:19:15,760 --> 01:19:20,960
Speaker 1: You know, we this podcast is inclusive, all different beliefs,

1412
01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:24,160
Speaker 1: all different backgrounds, all different personalities and people, and whatever

Speaker 1: We love you a ton. But no matter what I think,

1415
01:19:29,080 --> 01:19:31,759
Speaker 1: we can all agree that no matter what your background

1416
01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:35,439
Speaker 1: and what what your religious affiliation is is the holidays

1417
01:19:35,479 --> 01:19:38,479
Speaker 1: are a time to celebrate your beliefs and celebrate where

1418
01:19:38,520 --> 01:19:41,560
Speaker 1: your faith lies, and celebrate that hope and grace and

1419
01:19:41,640 --> 01:19:44,439
Speaker 1: love are given. Because I tell you this, actually, this

1420
01:19:44,560 --> 01:19:47,200
Speaker 1: world doesn't make sense without it. So as we celebrate

1421
01:19:47,240 --> 01:19:50,040
Speaker 1: this holidays, just know that grace is offered to everybody

1422
01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:53,000
Speaker 1: around you as well as an individual. Look at the neighbor,

1423
01:19:53,080 --> 01:19:54,760
Speaker 1: look at the people you run into, and just give

1424
01:19:54,840 --> 01:19:57,200
Speaker 1: him a hug, Tell him you love them, tell him

1425
01:19:57,200 --> 01:19:59,639
Speaker 1: you support them. Because that's what the holidays are about,

1426
01:19:59,680 --> 01:20:02,559
Speaker 1: is letting people know that their love. Because I tell

1427
01:20:02,600 --> 01:20:04,920
Speaker 1: you one thing, I have friends ash that the hollidays

1428
01:20:04,920 --> 01:20:08,400
Speaker 1: are really hard on them. It brings back really sensitive

1429
01:20:08,479 --> 01:20:10,840
Speaker 1: memories and intimate times with friends and families that are

1430
01:20:10,880 --> 01:20:12,800
Speaker 1: maybe no longer here. And so just be sensitive that

1431
01:20:12,920 --> 01:20:15,439
Speaker 1: this holiday season we forget those people. We we move

1432
01:20:15,520 --> 01:20:17,160
Speaker 1: on with life and we celebrate and we forget the

1433
01:20:17,240 --> 01:20:20,240
