Speaker 1: back to Colorado, there was snow on the ground, and

27
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,880

57
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,560

58
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: their homes, which, hey, that had to be hard. It's

65
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about Christmas, whether I'm thinking thirties? No, it

66
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: was cold. So any ways, all of a sudden, after

67
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: my scuba diving trip, I started and if you knew

68
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: this on the last podcast we recorded together, I was

69
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: a little sick. I've gotten a lot better it's been.

70
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: I've been about a ten day off and on flu.

71
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: Had about four days before I had to travel, so

72
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: I was feeling pretty good about going to travel, and

73
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: I was feeling pretty healthy. After my scuba diving, all

74
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: of a sudden, I just started to feel like the

75
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: pressure behind my eyes. I started to feel like the chills.

76
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: UM woke up in the middle of night with a

77
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: three temperature. I had sweated through the comforter and the sheets,

78
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: and then I was sick. Um And it was I

79
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: was really sick for for a few days and then

80
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: came back and feeling better now a little stuffy. Um

81
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: still have a little cough, so you might hear that.

82
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 1: But it was not fun. It was not fun to

83
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: be Christmas Day. It was on Christmas Days when I

84
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: woke up feeling sick. So it really took away from

85
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: any type of like kind of holiday celebration we have

86
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: in the in the warmth. But better now I'm ready

87
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: to start the new year. Well wait, did you get

88
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:55,760

00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: went Scooba diving and she like hit the like just

90
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: hit a certain spot where she got you didn't You

91
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: don't know about this. I know about the bins. I

94
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: so you don't think that's what it was. No, that

95
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: happens when you go up too fast, like when you

96
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: assad too fast and your body doesn't know. I think

97
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: I I think I just got the flu again. I

98
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 1: think whatever scuba diving did wasn't like pushed all disease

99
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: that was still left in my body up to my

100
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: head and made me go crazy. Um it was it

101
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: was rough. I feel like we need to check you

102
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 1: into like a celebrity spa, like for like not a detox,

103
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: but like a a formal relaxation period. I'd like that.

104
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 1: I would like that there's too many like planes and stuff,

105
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: like the man needs to just stay static for a week.

106
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: I would like to. I've been here for a week

107
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: now and it's been incredible. I will say this, and

108
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: then I want to hear about your holidays, Ashley. Um,

109
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: I want to hear about everything that Dawson did and

110
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: how cute he was. Um. This is a little note,

111
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: not a known secret about me. I've never I haven't

112
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: been to the doctor in about ten years, and so

113
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: I don't think I have either. Well besides, well, I

114
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: guess the guy no for girls, so it's different. Yeah.

115
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: So I because of this sickness, because of my amount

116
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: of travel, which is my number one goal for three

117
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: is to eliminate the amount of travel I doing to

118
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: be home more. Uh, and so I've said no to things,

119
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 1: which feels very odd to me. Um, it feels like

120
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: a big transition again in my life. But uh, I

121
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 1: am going in two days to get set up with

122
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: my own personal doctor based on my wife's wishes. So

123
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: good for you. I'm listening to her. So for anybody

124
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: out there that wonders if I'm a good husband or not.

125
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 1: This is one mark that you can say, Yes, he

126
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: listens to his wife. He's a good husband. So I'm

127
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: going to get healthy and I'm gonna get a physical

128
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: and I'm not getting any younger thirty three years old.

129
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: I guess once you hit forty, like, it's really important

130
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: to have set up with a doctor. So that's what

131
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: I'm doing. That's great. I feel like I need to

132
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: encourage Jared to do the same. I tell them all

133
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: the time. I'm like, should we get you a CT scan?

134
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: I think your whole body just needs to be scanned,

135
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: because like he has these like weird ailments. Sometimes let's

136
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: just rule this all out. So I don't know what

137
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: it brings. I'm a little nervous about it. Doctors freaked

138
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: me out. Um, but I'm going to the doctor. Okay, Ashley,

00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: for me to find it at home, but I'd rather

161
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: not and just be tagging it. So. Yeah. My mom

162
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: surprised me one time by being in well, there's pop

163
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: Star magazine and I was also in Blast magazine. She

164
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 1: surprised me with the pop Star. Um I was going

165
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: on a field trip and then she handed me this

166
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: magazine and she goes turned to page whatever, and I

167
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god. And then I got on

168
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: the charter bus and like I'm on the field trip.

169
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: But I got to show everyone that I was in

170
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: the magazine because they like posted fan pictures on this

171
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 1: one page of like their rooms or like you know,

172
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,599
Speaker 1: creative things that they did to show their love for

173
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: the band. So I had like three hundred and fifty

174
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: is pictures, I posters, pin ups and centerfold and fold

175
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: out to like all those plastered all over my wallet.

176
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: You could not see wall, and I was very meticulous

177
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: about it. I was twelve years old. I would go

178
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: up on the ladder and just kind of puzzle piece

179
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: them all together to make perfect in sync wallpaper. And

180
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 1: then once one wall seemed to be a little outdated,

181
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: like the photos were over a year old, I would

182
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 1: take them all down and I'd start fresh with new

183
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: pin ups that I had saved. So every month I

184
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: got the new magazine scenes save them, and I had

185
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: an order. You know, I'd have to like have like

186
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: I never just had like three of the guys, like

187
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: I either had Justin. Justin was big and allowed to

188
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: be of his own, and then I was able to

189
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 1: like have like the big posters of course with the guys,

190
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,199
Speaker 1: and then like the ones that you would get a

191
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: Sam Goody because like back then we had like the

192
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: record stores and like they would have a huge array

193
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: of posters and Spencers had them and Claire's and all

194
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: that stuff. So go to the mall all the time

195
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 1: and collecting that stuff and uh yeah. So then with

196
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: the guys, I would with all five in sinkers. I'd

197
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: have to have them in a certain order. It was

198
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: according to my favorites, and they'd all have to go

199
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: five together. There was never a time where like they

200
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 1: weren't in a group of five, like it had to

201
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: be equal, and uh yeah, So I was in magazines

202
00:10:55,840 --> 00:11:00,480

Speaker 1: to hear about your holidays. I do want to hear

215
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:48,440

216
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: so sweet. Um, there's not like a whole bunch of

217
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: like specific things to talk about. It was lovely. It

218
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 1: was definitely like the best christ of Us I've ever had,

219
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 1: and I've had in a long time, probably like as

220
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 1: an adult. My parents flew up to Rhode Island. It

221
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 1: was my first Christmas that I got to be with

222
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: some of my family since Jared and I got together,

223
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,199
Speaker 1: because we have done the Thanksgiving in Virginia and the

224
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: Christmas and Rhode Island thing the entire time, um, we've

225
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: been together. So my parents flew up and thankfully I

226
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 1: have no idea their flight wasn't canceled there the flight

227
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: that they were on the day before. You know, if

228
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: they were, if they had would if they had booked

229
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: a day before, it would have been canceled. So miraculously

230
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: they got here. My sister was very sad she had

231
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: to send Christmas with her fiance and his family, and

232
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: she was just super bummed. That she couldn't beat with

233
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 1: Dawson on his first Christmas. Like she is in total

234
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: aunt mode. You're not an uncle yet, uh and neither

235
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 1: is Jess an aunt. And I only became an aunt

236
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: when I was like, you know, almost about the pop,

237
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: So I think it's a little different. But she is

238
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: going through like she just he's she's obsessed, Like she

239
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: definitely like thinks of Dawson. It's like kind of her

240
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 1: own beautiful it is. It's so beautiful, like she says,

241
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: you know, she'd take a bullet for him and like

242
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: die for him, and it's really super sweet anyway, So yeah,

243
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: she was super bumped. She didn't get to come, but

244
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: it was really nice because Jared got to do what

00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: but now Jared's got turkey duty on Christmas and Thanksgiving

252

Speaker 1: speaking of football, We want to extend our thoughts out

288
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: to tomar Hamlin uh and his family. We watched it

289
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:50,680

294
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: Jessica and I both. Uh. It just really uh just

295
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: like it did most of the people in the country.

296
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: Our thoughts were with Tamar and just trying to Um.

297
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: It's just it's hard to process and it's hard to see.

298
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: But then it's also hard I think for for us

299
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: the thing about what it was like to be his

300
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: mother who was there in the crowd. UM. So we

301
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: don't have any updates right now. We're not a sports

302
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,680

305
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: But we're not a sports podcast as much I'd love

306
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: us to be, but it is it transcends sports. Uh.

307
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: And it's just something that I want us all to

308
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: think about. UM and to you know, I saw one

309
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: of his teammates today kind of tweet out, Hey, this

310
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: is a moment not only to be thinking about the

311
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: marks it's about tomorrow, but to also reach out to

312
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: your loved ones and just it's a good remind kinder

313
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: to tell him, hey, I love you, UM thinking about you,

314
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: even if you just saw him the holidays. UM. Friends,

315
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 1: just to get a little vulnerable to share with people

316
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 1: that you care about him, that you're thinking about him.

317
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: The second thing I want to ask is a very

318
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 1: big transition. Obviously, Ashley and I this year did something

319
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 1: that um many people are very scared of. We celebrate

320
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,719
Speaker 1: our holidays with the in laws and our parents at

321
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: the same time. It went really well for both of us.

322
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 1: The question to you listeners is does that scare you?

323
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 1: Does it make you shiver? Have you ever done it?

324
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: Tell us your story, Send him in. We want to

325
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: hear from you. All right, let's take a break, Ashley.

326
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: When we come back, we're gonna break down bachelor headlines.

327
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:57,360
Speaker 1: It's time for Bachelor headlines, Ashley. We have a plethora

328
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: of them today. We've been away for a bit, so

329
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 1: let just jump into him. Hey, big announcement coming up.

330
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: The Bachelor isn't that far away from airing. We've gotten

331
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: the sea clips, bits and pieces of Zach and his experience.

332
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 1: It seems like there's a lot of tears, not only

333
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: from Zach himself, but from the women involved. And now

334
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 1: we're getting to meet the women. Here's the headline, The

338
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: Is the first time they've done it on TikTok. I

339
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: think they've done it on Facebook Live before, maybe even

340
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: Instagram Live. But no, we're moving on the TikTok and

371
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: Evans admits she still misses her ex bachelor Clayton. Uh

372
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 1: this according to Yahoo Yeah Yahoo yeahoo. Trying to come

373
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 1: up with a headline here. So basically, she didn't ask

374
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: me anything on Instagram and somebody said you miss Clayton,

375
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: and then she goes joking. Of course he was a

376
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 1: wonderful part of my life. He probe has a lot

377
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 1: less gray hair is coming in now that he's got

378
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: me off his back. But really, of course I miss him.

379
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: He was my closest friend for the last year and

380
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: went through a lot together and I know we will

381
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: both have a special place in each other's hearts. Um.

382
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 1: And now that we're back on talking terms, I can

383
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: go back to roasting him. But you guys still can't

384
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: only me. And then Clayton shared that post to his

385
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 1: own Instagram and said, one gray hair sprouted just when

386
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: I saw that you tagged me in this story. A

387
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 1: warning next time would be nice. There you go. Well,

388
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,640
Speaker 1: it seems like they still are getting along. They're very cordial.

389
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: It's really nice to see. Uh. And obviously Clayton is

390
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: out there, uh you know, really speaking out on mental health. UM.

391
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: It's something that he's investing into. UM, which is you know, uh,

392
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: something that I'm I don't know. I want to say

393
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: I'm proud of him, because that makes me sound like I, Um,

394
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,160
Speaker 1: I was not proud of him. I'm just it's it's

395
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: good to see somebody like him who is in a

396
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: place that has a spotlight share about something. There's so

397
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: many people I want to relate to and need to

398
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: relate to, But it does seem like the both of

399
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: them are are doing really well well. Teddy Wright debuse

400
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: her new boyfriend after early Bachelor of Paradise exit. There's

401
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,199
Speaker 1: photos you can see him this according to US Weekly.

402
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: So we talked to Andrew, you know, her Bachelor in

403
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: Paradise love interest a couple of weeks ago. There's an

404
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: in depth with him up right now. It's really great.

405
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: I loved my time interviewing and who's not even interviewing,

406
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 1: just chatting for hours with Andrew and justin doing there

407
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 1: in depth. And Andrew talked a little bit about how

408
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: things didn't even feel right with Teddy in Paradise, but

409
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: he's still like there's still some curiosity there that he

410
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: wanted to pursue. He talks about in the in depth

411
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: how they didn't speak really at all after the show,

412
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: like even though he was kind of trying to reach

413
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: out via DM, she just still didn't seem interested. So

414
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: now maybe we know why she wasn't interested. She has

415
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 1: a real, real boyfriend now. She captions her her Instagram

416
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: reel of a montage of them basically kissing and cuddling

417
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: and all that first New Year's kiss ever, Happy New Year, hashtag. Um.

418
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: She said that she kind of like hinted a couple

419
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 1: like on December that she was going to hard launch

420
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: this relationship because she said that she's been working dancing

421
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: with a sweet little boy. Um not not this boyfriend.

422
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: And there's also some other things that all share later

423
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: dot dot dot and then hand over mouth emoji. So

424
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: hard launched on New Year's really happy for her, and

425
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 1: it seems like they've been uh dating for a while

426
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: if you watch the real Yeah, I just watched it

427
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: for the first time. Um, she seems very cries at

428
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: the beginning, pries at the beginning, but yeah, and it

429
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: adds happy. She starts crying by being like I think

430
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: she's going with the music. She's like, um, am I

431
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 1: ever going to find someone? And then she's found someone

432
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 1: there he is well. Happy for Teddy. Uh that relationship

433
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 1: has started. And another one of Bachelor Nation contestants have

434
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 1: removed themselves in chances of going on Paradise next year,

435
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 1: which I never think Teddy had any idea that she

436
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 1: would ever go back on Paradise, So I think that's fine. Uh. Well, Ashley,

437
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 1: a non Bachelor contestant, is making headlines. It's an interesting

438
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: one to me. Uh. If you don't know this, Will's

439
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: Adams Uh and Tyler Florence have started their own podcast

440
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: with I Heart Radio two Dudes in a Kitchen. It's

441
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 1: a great podcast. I enjoy listening to the both of them.

442
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: But on the recent episode, here's the headline, Tyler Florence

443
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: says he once turned down the Bachelor didn't feel right

444
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 1: dis according to people. Okay, first off, calling out of touch.

445
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: I didn't know who Tyler Florence was until yesterday, and

446
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: then I see he's part of our headlines twice. He

447
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 1: is a really famous celebrity chef does all the Food

448
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: Network stuff. Did you know who he was? I did?

449
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 1: I do. But you also have to remember my other

450
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 1: life is owning restaurants and a coffee shop. So Tyler

451
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: Florence is somebody that, like, I just know from that world. Okay, Okay,

452
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: So this headline is funny because I feel like how

453
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: many people have come out of the woodwork and been

454
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 1: asked to be the Bachelor. Back in the two thousand's,

455
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: they basically went to any celebrity that wasn't maybe like

456
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: super alist, and they asked them to be the lead

457
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: of this show. And then they all seem like they've

458
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: turned it down, but he said that his son was

459
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,560

488
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: Germany with fiance Mitch. This according to Batch Nation. If

489
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 1: you don't know a little backstory, Kendall did move to

490
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 1: Germany with her fiance Mitch Um not that long ago.

491
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 1: And Ashley, yeah, tell us about the adjustment. She's mostly

492
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 1: concerned about the food because if you do think about

493
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,120
Speaker 1: German food, I don't know, if you know, if you're

494
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: like me, you think about beer, pretzels and what else?

495
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 1: Beer pretzels? Potatoes? Are they no? I mean, yeah, there's Germany.

496
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: I don't know their culinary scene. They have a lot

497
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: of good food, but it is you know, they are

498
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:02,679
Speaker 1: known for their beer. They're also known or some fried foods. Um.

499
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: You know, I don't think of Germany and I think

500
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:09,640
Speaker 1: of lush salads and vegetables. I do think of you know, um,

501
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 1: but like some really good food that I really enjoy. Yeah,

502
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: but it is different. Well, she said that they've done

503
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: a lot of exploring with the food, especially the first

504
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: week they were there. They didn't have you know, they

505
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 1: didn't have any groceries. They didn't really know what to do,

506
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: so they just explored, um, the restaurants around their their town.

507
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: And she said that they're lucky because they have a

508
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 1: big Italian community there. The Italian food is really good.

509
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: She's really into this sushi's place that's right across the

510
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: um corner from them, and there's a really big Asian

511
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: influence there as well. She said that it's um been

512
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 1: really cool exploring the food scene and trying things that

513
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: she's never had before. Yeah, and you know Germany, I

514
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: do know. It's known for schnitzel, uh, which is really good.

515
00:28:55,120 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 1: It's also that's very popular in Israel, which schnitzel, Like,

516
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: what is it? I've heard it before, but it sounds

517
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: like pretzel to me, so I just assume it's the same,

518
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: very different schnitzel is is more of like a fried

519
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: uh like piece of like not meat, but like it's

520
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: like a fried I think it's chicken. It's typically chicken

521
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: or pork. I could be wrong with the pork, but

522
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: I know it's chicken. But it's like a pattied out

523
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: fried chicken. And it's really good. Um, but it's fried chicken.

524
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: You know. You also have the sausages as we know them,

525
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: or the brought worst um, that's you know dove of course,

526
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,479
Speaker 1: how do we forget that? And then you you know

527
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: the roasts. They have a lot of roast along with pretzels,

528
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: which I think they call bretzels. Um. We call them

529
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: pretzels here in the US, but I think they call

530
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: him pretzels if I'm not mistaken, but it is. I'd say,

531
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: like it's incredible food, like the roasts and the sausages,

532
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 1: but it's it's heavier food. It's heavier food than probably

533
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: you're used to living in l a where you you're

534
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: used to living like in the US. That's why Poley

535
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 1: Sushi is attracted to her Um for whatever reason, have

536
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: you ever been to Germany flown through it? Never never

537
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: been there? For more than two hours. I would like

538
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: to go um because I do love all those foods

539
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: coming from the Midwest. Actually a lot of like the

540
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 1: Midwestern foods that you know, I'm so accustomed to have

541
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: a lot of base in German food, and so I

542
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: really love that food. It's it's like, uh, it feels

543
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: like home to me. So I think i'd have a

544
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: great time. I just don't know how long I could

545
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: do it without not feeling good. How many pretzels and

546
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: sausages and fried chicken like Schnitzel's can you have before

547
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: you go? I'm tired. I need to salad. See, you know,

548
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: I never feel like sick after eating stuff like that. Jared,

549
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: It'll go right through them. He's so embarrassing, literally has

550
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: to poop the second he eats like a meal. It's

551
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: almost literally almost annoying. But I get really tired, Like

552
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 1: I if I eat a meal like that before six o'clock,

553
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 1: m I'm out. One of the fun things we did

554
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: during the holidays was we went through the the foods

555
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: that are oddest maybe to the outside world, that we

556
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: grew up eating, and Peeple and Jessica and I always

557
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: do this because she's never heard of chicken and noodles

558
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: on mashed potatoes, like egg noodles with chicken on mashed potatoes,

559
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: and that would have been like a church neither have I. Yeah,

560
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: I grew up on it. It was even in our

561
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: lunch room. You'd have egg noodles with chicken on mashed

562
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 1: potatoes with a side of like a bread and butter sandwich,

563
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: which she still thinks is weird. There's like two pieces

564
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: of white bread with butter um. Also is strange to me.

565
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: Keep them coming. This is podcast uh tinder loins. She'd

566
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: never heard of a tender loin. It's a breaded tender loin.

567
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: It's kind of like a schitzel, but it's it's like

568
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: a pork tender loin. It's it has um. Their origins

569
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: of it are from Japan um. But we've taken it

570
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: in the Midwest and kind of put it on two

571
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: pieces of bread and added usually like some relish uh

572
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: to it with like some cabbage. Uh. We eat a

573
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: lot of tender loins, breaded pork tender loins. My grandma

574
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: hers was that she grew up eating saltine crackers and milk,

575
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:34,959
Speaker 1: so they would take saltine crackers crunch them up, put

576
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: them in milk, and she would eat it with a spoon. Uh.

577
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: And the final one would be we Uh. I grew

578
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: up eating a lot of liver and liver worst. Uh.

579
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: So liver is very popular. Uh do you like it?

580
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: My dad loves it. But I've never had it. I

581
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: haven't had it a long time. I don't know if

582
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: I love the texture. These days, I think i'd love

583
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: the flavor, but I think the texture would be hard

584
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,239
Speaker 1: on me. Now I'm a texture guy. Now as I've

585
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: gotten older, I've got to pick here. But um, yeah,

586
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: I think I could still eat it and have and

587
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 1: and enjoy it. You know, these are all foods from

588
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 1: the Midwest. They're also foods like from my grandparents generations,

589
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: a lot of them or you know, they had the

590
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: Great you know, the Great Depression, they had some wars,

591
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: and so a lot of these foods were just whatever

592
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: you could find on the phone. Crackers and milk may

593
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: have sounded a little depression like, yeah, but they love them,

594
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: still eat them the day. So that was always fun

595
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: for us. We went through this whole list. Everybody did

596
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: kind of talking about what foods did they grow up eating,

597
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: or what kind of habits that they have growing up

598
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: that are the weirdest today. Do you mind if I

599
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: stay on this a little bit longer? What did just

600
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 1: grow up eating that you didn't? Nothing? Really nothing? She yeah,

601
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: I mean she used an Italian comes from an Italian family,

602
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: so it's a lot of like Pasta's and I mean

603
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: stuff shells, but nothing weird like stuff I alreadys knew of.

604
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: I just like nobody in my family was making it

605
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: um and so there was really nothing on her end

606
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: that was like shock. The only thing um that she's

607
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: been doing now, like I don't know for how long

608
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: would she uh? She was encouraged at some point to

609
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:15,800
Speaker 1: put um egg uh and our peanut butter on her eggs,

610
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 1: and I guess it's really good. Yeah, she said it's

611
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: really good. But I can't have eggs, so actually never,

612
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: I mean, like I'm not judging it because like I

613
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 1: love peanut butter on my burgers, which is like the

614
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: Elvis because Elvis used to do that. It's so good. Um.

615
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 1: But you want to hear a little tibit a little

616
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 1: fact about me. My parents they met when my mom

617
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 1: was twenty on her twentieth birthday. She's just a regular

618
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 1: Jersey girl, lived like a very normal Jersey girl suburban life.

619
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: Her parents, though, were like straight off the boat from Holland.

620
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:51,360
Speaker 1: They moved here in their teens. My mom, at the

621
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 1: age of twenty in New Jersey, had never had Chinese food,

622
00:34:56,520 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 1: a freaking bagel, never had had a bagel by twenty

623
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: years old, and never had cheesecake until my dad introduced her.

624
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 1: My goodness, her world has been opened up. That's kind

625
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 1: of weird. It is fun. It is fun. If if

626
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,439
Speaker 1: I met Jared and he was like, I've never had

627
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 1: a bagel, I would be like, yes, But at the

628
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: same time, I would be like, I think bagels are

629
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 1: a little overrated. They just their bread with bread is great,

630
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: But like, would I rather have a bag Gett's like

631
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: a buttery, crispy butter, you know, like melted buttery baguette

632
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 1: or a bagel. I'd rather have a bagett. I mean,

633
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 1: but being in New Jersey, you feel like bagels are

634
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: such a part of that it's shocking. Yeah, like diner

635
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:47,359
Speaker 1: cheesecake too. I've never been I'm not a huge cheesecake person,

636
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 1: but I'll eat it. Yeah, Well, that's another fun question.

637
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 1: I really want to get some feedback from our listeners.

672
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:58,720
Speaker 1: to finding out who this mystery human is. Well. Gabby

673
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:03,320
Speaker 1: Wendy discusses the ports of healthy conversations about sex and relationships.

674
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 1: This according to Batchel Nation as well well. This happened

675
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: in the same podcast that this conversation happened the same

676
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: podcast as the micro reveal, and Mike has been on

677
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 1: Instagram doing a lot of relationship reels, a lot of

678
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 1: it has to do with sex and sensuality, and Gabby

679
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 1: said that what she she thinks that what he's doing

680
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 1: is so important because in our culture and relationships in general.

681
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 1: She says, sex is so taboo and we don't know

682
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: how to talk about it in a healthy way. And

683
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 1: it's something that we can talk about and make better

684
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 1: for one another because each person wants something different sexually. Um,

685
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 1: you have to unlearn your previous relationship and relearn it

686
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,800
Speaker 1: with the new partners so you're both satisfied and don't

687
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: have to go somewhere else. So she said she is

688
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 1: so afraid of talking about it too, because she doesn't

689
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: want to hurt anybody's feelings. She just doesn't want to

690
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: and um, make it seem not genuine. But she goes,

691
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 1: nobody teaches you these things because nobody talks about sex.

692
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:09,720
Speaker 1: And then Mike said, um, you know that's why he's

693
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: doing what he's doing. Well. Gabby has always been a

694
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 1: good spokesperson for this show and for all of us

695
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: out there, so it's nice to see her on there.

696
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 1: And it's also interesting to see Mike Johnson step into

697
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: the co hosting seat of Clickbait UH this week. Obviously,

698
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 1: with Talking it Out UM coming to a close, I

699
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:33,399
Speaker 1: wonder if Mike's role at clickbait will increase or not?

700
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 1: Want to wait and see on that. Well. One of

00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: this is what happened, Andrew posted. Andrew Spencer. He posted

734
00:41:54,000 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 1: a TikTok in which he Nate, Justin, rome Oh and

735
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: Rodney are all doing like this TikTok dance thing. It's

736
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: like a trending thing. And Andrew wrote underneath it, Romeo

Speaker 1: understood the assignment and then they're all doing different you know,

Speaker 1: they're all they're all doing a decent job, right, Michelle writes,

739
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:29,360
Speaker 1: dancing Yeah, And then Michelle writes underneath in the comments one, two, three,

740
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 1: and five because each dance is labeled a different you know,

741
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:39,320
Speaker 1: each guy is labeled a different number, left no crumbs, one, two, three,

742
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 1: and five left no crumbs, which is a slang expression

743
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 1: for basically like snaps like high praise. And then, of

744
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 1: course she left out Nate intentionally, who was number four? Uh?

745
00:42:54,040 --> 00:43:01,760
Speaker 1: The comment received more than eight thousand likes and um

746
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:07,040

Speaker 1: this is so spicy, I love it. It's uh yeah.

748
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:16,840
Speaker 1: Number four obviously was Nate, so she was saying she

749
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:22,799
Speaker 1: liked everybody's dancing. Number four maybe disappointed her. Uh well,

750
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 1: Earlier we talked about a relationship and bachel Nation that

751
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 1: was cordial Susie and Clayton. This one doesn't seem to

752
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 1: be maybe as cordial. Am I wrong on that? Ashley?

753
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 1: You're not wrong? Not wrong? Okay. Final headline we talked

754
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,760
Speaker 1: about a little bit earlier. Hannah Brown reveals Special Forces

755
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 1: will show her in a different light. I'm telling you

756
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 1: right now, this will be a good show. This looks

757
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:47,320
Speaker 1: like a very intriguing show. It would be a show,

758
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,720
Speaker 1: um that if I got asked to do, I would

759
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: probably say yes to it, just because it is so

760
00:43:55,880 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 1: different than anything we've seen before. So Ashley, why will

761
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 1: it show her in a different light? Who's going to

762
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 1: be on this show? And what is the show all about? Well,

763
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:08,239
Speaker 1: actually we don't really know why it's going to show

764
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: her in a different light. We don't have any quotes.

765
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:17,240
Speaker 1: We don't have any quotes from Hannah, but but the show.

766
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:21,320
Speaker 1: In the show, they have to compete in demanding training

767
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:25,840
Speaker 1: exercises that are led by staff agents, an elite team

768
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 1: of ex Special Forces operatives. Um, okay, we do have

769
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:34,799
Speaker 1: own quote from her says it's transformative. Every person that's

770
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 1: part of it learned something about themselves in these extreme

771
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 1: moments that you can't really experience in any other way. Okay,

772
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 1: but still a little vague. Basically, we get to watch

773
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 1: Hannah in military bootcamp and I'm really excited to see

774
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 1: her like survive this. She will be joined by Beverly Mitchell,

00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:28,800
Speaker 1: cast it is. I mean, we have Nacia Lucan obviously,

781
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 1: continues to pop up. It's wild to me. It feels

782
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 1: like I was a child when I was watching her

783
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:42,080

786
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: uh in things that they're not trained necessarily to do.

787
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:59,360
Speaker 1: I do, though, I feel like Nasty Luken and gus

788
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,800
Speaker 1: Kins were they have an upper hand on this, um

789
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:06,360
Speaker 1: because they're ates. Yeah, I mean obviously Dwight Howard is

790

Speaker 1: you know, was was betting on this. Anyways, it's gonna

796
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 1: be special Forces. Hannah Brown says, it's gonna show her

797
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 1: in a different light. I'm sure it will. I mean

798
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:31,759
Speaker 1: she's not dating, she's not kissing. Uh, she's competing, and

799
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 1: she's putting her body and mind through rigorous tests. So

800
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 1: we'll obviously see her in a different light, and I'm

801
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 1: excited to do it. Well, Ashley, our off season is

802
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:45,280
Speaker 1: coming to an end. Uh, we just have a few

803
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:49,760
Speaker 1: weeks left of the off season here between The Bachelor

804
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 1: and Zach's upcoming season of the Bachelor. Obviously, now we're

805
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 1: gonna start introducing the cast. We're gonna start uh talking

806
00:46:56,680 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: about the rumors circling around the show. Um, and then

807
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:03,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna get into this show, uh, the next season

808
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 1: of the Bachelor. And so we're excited for all your

809
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:13,240
Speaker 1: listeners to be joining us. Zach season of the Bachelor begins. Uh.

810
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:16,360
Speaker 1: We've talked about it before, Ashley, I'll say it again.

811
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:20,360
Speaker 1: I am hesitant to get super excited about this season.

812
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:22,840
Speaker 1: I will be watching, we will be breaking it down.

813
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be critical. I've been critical in

814
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 1: the past, and it doesn't help me enjoy the show anymore.

815
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go into it with an open mind.

816
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:34,840
Speaker 1: I am hesitant, though, um to dive head first into

817
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 1: this season. I we want a good season. We need

818
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:41,760
Speaker 1: a good Bachelor's season. I wish I felt more confident.

819
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 1: I just wish I felt more confident that this will

820
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:51,319
Speaker 1: be it like. But we've been surprised before. I would

821
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 1: actually say I was surprised during hand Brown season. I

822
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:55,280
Speaker 1: did not think that was gonna be a good season,

823
00:47:55,719 --> 00:48:00,160
Speaker 1: and then it became one of the best seasons of

824
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 1: all time. So I am going to be optimistic. Uh,

825
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 1: And I am excited to walk this journey with you,

826
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 1: Ashley and with all of the listeners out there, so

827
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 1: continue to tune in. We're not going anywhere. We'll be here.

828
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:18,040
