Hello and welcome to the most dramatic podcast ever. 0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:15.319 I'm Chris Harrison. I'm coming to you live this week 0:00:15.400 --> 0:00:20.360 from Orlando, Florida. Beautiful Orlando, Florida, UM, the Sunshine State 0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:23.200 is living up to its name this week. I am 0:00:23.239 --> 0:00:27.040 here for a big golf event with the LPGA Tour, 0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:31.200 and easily the best part of this is that two 0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:34.320 of my very dear friends are here as well, and 0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:38.839 that is Ben Higgins and Wells Adams, and they are 0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:42.560 going to be my guest today on this podcasting. Guys, 0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:45.640 do we have a lot to talk about. There was 0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:47.800 a headline this week and I think a lot of 0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:52.800 people will expect me to comment on this, and I 0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:55.000 will tell you right away I'm not going to make 0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:58.160 a comment. I will make mention of this, and that 0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:02.720 is Dianna, one of our former back solorettes, and Steven 0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:11.160 Stagliano are getting divorced. And as somebody who knows them both, 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:16.800 loves them both, supports them both, and as someone who 0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:20.440 has gone through a very public divorce with kids involved, 0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:25.440 I would never make a comment about this other than 0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:29.479 I support them. I wish them the best during this 0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:35.760 very difficult time and whatever they can do best for 0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:37.920 the kids, I know they will do and I love 0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:41.560 you guys. So with that said, I want to bring 0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:47.080 on my two guests, my dear friends, Ben Higgins and 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:50.640 Wells Adams. Gentlemen, Welcome. Wow, it's a big deal to 0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:53.640 be here. Mr Chris. It's good to see you. I 0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:55.800 am so happy that I get to be the jerk 0:01:57.440 --> 0:02:00.560 and when we're on the road, make you guys do 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:03.480 a podcast because I have done both. I have done 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:06.520 this for both of you, and I begrudgingly said, guys, 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:09.520 while while we're here in Orlando, we're going to do 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:13.920 a podcast together. Now, I'm that guy and it's the 0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:18.600 same team from the almost Famous podcasts that's doing your podcast. Yes, 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:21.520 we're all with I Heart Radio. So it feels weird 0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:24.720 to sit on this side. I feel like I want 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:27.360 to just reach out and hug everybody that's helping you 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:29.480 put this on, but I feel like I'm a guest 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:32.000 here and I can't. We're all grateful to my heart 0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:35.680 and grateful to you guys. This is something that I 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:39.200 we have all wanted to have happened, where we all 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:41.919 ended up with the same golf event, and I we're 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:43.560 not going to bore you with any golf stories. Don't 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:48.760 worry about that. But this is our conduit to be together. Um, 0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:51.880 whatever your social thing is that brings you together, this 0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:54.760 brings this friendship together. We love golf, we love spending 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:56.480 time together. And the best part of this week I 0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:59.560 was thinking about was we're getting it both ways. I've 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:01.560 had my my time with you guys, We've had our 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:07.560 boy time, and now also our our wives and fiance 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:12.280 are here, and so we got to hang out, have 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:15.880 a few drinks, play some golf, talk about all the 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:18.000 things we wanted to talk about, and now that the 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:22.200 wives and the ladies are here, we're having a great time, 0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:25.240 but just a different time. It's a different a different dynamic. 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:27.840 But I'm glad we got to do both. We're all 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:33.680 grows up with our wives that are golf tournaments. It's 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:38.960 really horrible. I just think a nap. So both of 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:41.120 you guys took naps. But you know what's funny is 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:45.160 that Sarah was like, you know, golf is not her thing, 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:47.280 and she was like, well, is Lauren coming? And I 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:49.120 was like, I don't know, I don't think so, and 0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:51.520 she goes if I can get her to go, she's 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:53.960 coming because I want to hang out with Lauren and 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:56.240 jess and she's got her wish well. And you guys, 0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:59.400 did I say you, I mean you the listeners. You know, 0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:01.600 if you know Lauren at all, you know l Z 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:09.440 doesn't do sports. Um, she's not not into the sporting 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:13.840 sports stuff. The only reason she is here is because 0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:17.719 Sarah called her and said, you're coming, And then Jesse 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:21.120 is here as well. And so this is the first 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:23.600 time we've all been able to hang out together like this, 0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:27.240 with the wives, with the fiance. I can't call her 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:29.080 a wife yet, we're not quite married. We'll talk about 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:32.560 that in a little bit. But I love that. I 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.159 love that we've all gotten to this point. It's it's 0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:39.279 nice and it's good that, like there's no stress for 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:41.760 me being like Jessica is gonna hang out with Lauren 0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:44.800 and Sarah, Like it's just I know it's gonna be fun. 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:47.120 I'm excited for them to hang out because I'm excited 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:50.279 for them to spend time together. And when your friends 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:56.320 meet great people, it just enhances life. Because now they're 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:59.599 all down here, Jessica walked all eighteen holes of golf 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:01.640 with me. I have a feeling that was Sarah and 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:05.679 Lauren here that's going to drastically decrease. Sarah and Lauren 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:09.720 are going to be at the clubhouse drinking mimosas, and 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:13.039 they're gonna be feeling great when we finished golf tomorrow. 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:16.480 I know Elzie's first question, where's the chicouderie? Where's the bar? 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:19.760 I will see you later. I love you. I will 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:21.600 see you later, And honestly, it's one of the things 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:23.520 and we'll talk again, we'll get into all this. But 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:25.360 one of the things I adore about Lauren, and I 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:29.440 know this too about Sarah and Jess. She knows it's 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:33.600 my thing and she loves that. I love this. That's it, 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:36.400 no matter what it is. It's one of the attributes 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:38.960 I love most about l Z is that she she 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:40.880 texts me every day. I hope you're having a great day. 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:42.440 I hope you're having fun with this. And I know 0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:44.719 that Sarah and Jess supports you guys being here and 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:47.719 doing stuff like this because it's our thing. We're not 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:51.000 doing We're not professional by any means. But I love 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:53.000 that and I love that they're both excited. They're all 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:56.040 excited that we're here. It's also important for healthy relationships 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:59.599 for each partner to have a hobby and like a 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:03.240 thing that they go do. And Sarah realizes, like golf 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:05.320 is my hobby, and she goes and does her thing, 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:09.640 and we both can support one another in those things 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:11.880 and then come together afterwards and be like, oh, how 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:15.520 is your day? Was horse riding horses fund today? Or 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:17.880 was dancing fund today? Was golf fund today? And I 0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:23.119 think that's cornerstone like a really healthy relationship. It is tough. 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:26.320 Your thing doesn't necessarily need to be my thing and 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:30.919 vice versa. Do you and jess have that too? Um, 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:33.479 Jessica's you know, she's a former college athlete, so a 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:36.800 lot of her thing. She loves going on long walks 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:39.040 by herself with her headphones and listening to a book 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:44.200 she loves to read. Um, she works out, and I 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:47.480 in my marriage, it's only been a year, but she 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:49.400 fully supports me going to golf. No, I don't want 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:51.160 to take advantage of that and go every day of 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:52.960 the week and you know, say hey, I'll see in 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:56.520 you know never, but a hundred percent we have her 0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:59.800 own thing. We come together uh, and that was kind 0:06:59.839 --> 0:07:02.800 of uh. A pillar when we got married is that 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:05.520 we're gonna always keep our own things so that we 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:06.920 have something to talk about the end of the day. 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:09.200 Also like we have something interesting to share with each other. 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:14.720 If not, it gets you know, boring, It's funny. I 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:17.080 was distracted because something just went off on your phone 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:19.240 and I see this beautiful picture of Jessica on your 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:21.880 and but you mentioned her being a track star. So Jessica, 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:24.000 for those of you who don't know, was an absolute 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:28.520 stod at Old Miss, a track star. Um Wells also 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:30.800 went to Old Miss. Totally different kind of rock star, 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:34.880 totally different experience at Old Miss. Yeah, I was running 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:38.640 a lot, but it was from the law. So I 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:41.720 apologize to all the listeners because I I we totally 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:43.760 got sidetracked and I have buried the lead. So when 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:47.880 we come back, we will jump into the tea that 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:54.760 has spilled in Orlando. Goodness, the drama that has enveloped 0:07:55.640 --> 0:08:10.000 this event when we returned. Welcome back to the most 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:15.200 dramatic podcast ever. Chris Harrison here in Orlando with two 0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:20.560 very good friends, Ben Higgins and Wells Adams. So we 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:25.840 arrived last Tuesday for this event. Before I get on 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:28.360 the plane, I get a text message from Ben Higgins 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:33.280 in the locker room, and it's our our lockers. They're 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:35.480 nice enough to give you lockers at this event. It 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:38.840 says Chris Harrison on the locker. It says Ben Higgins 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:43.440 on the locker sea alphabetic order. Next to Ben Higgins 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:49.319 is Chris Lane, country music star. Do I do? I 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:51.280 need to explain who Chris Lane is and this whole thing, 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:54.360 so can I? What's the thumbnail sketch of this? I 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:57.640 think you probably have listeners outside of back stor Nation. 0:08:57.679 --> 0:09:01.200 I think it's important to explain the the whole situation. Okay, 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:03.040 I will try to explain this very quick. This is 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:08.760 the thirty thousand foot flyover. Ben Higgins was the bachelor. 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:12.839 At one point he was engaged to a very nice 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:21.199 woman named Lauren. They broke up amicably, and Lauren has 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:25.600 since gotten married and had children with country music star 0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:30.080 Chris Lane. And we are all together here at the 0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:33.800 Gulf Tournament in Orlando, and his locker is right next 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:37.480 to Ben Higgins. I mean, and when you say right 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:40.480 next to it's it's right next to me mine. Before 0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:44.480 this tournament, I haven't seen Laurence since we broke up, 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:48.200 I don't. I don't think I've seen her once. And uh, 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:51.720 obviously life now has moved far beyond that relationship, but 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:55.360 that relationship still is an important season or you know, 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:58.319 time in my life. And so I would be lying 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:01.600 if I if I wasn't a little anxious about the 0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:05.440 idea of, you know, being at this tournament with Lauren 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:08.320 and Chris and then also Lauren's family, who I imagined 0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:12.320 was going to be coming down, and no matter what, 0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:15.040 we're all adults, So I wasn't worried about the outcome 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:18.280 or how we'd handle it. I was mostly just saying, hey, 0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:21.120 this is a fun week of golf. This is gonna 0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:25.320 feel odd, you know that first running like what's that 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:28.040 gonna be? Like? You just I don't know if anybody 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:31.439 out there, and maybe I'm wrong, is like super jacked 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:34.720 to see somebody who they've split ways within their life, 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:38.560 you know, amicably, but they split ways with them. So 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:43.880 I was I was anxious about it, um and then 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:46.640 to walk into the locker room and see that, oh, 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:50.040 we're gonna be definitely running into each other, Like there's 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:52.160 there's some people that Serma, I haven't seen yet at all. 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:55.920 I haven't seen him ever. But no, we're gonna be. 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:59.840 We're gonna be putting our shoes on, changing together, changing, 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:06.719 showering together, sna ing together. Um. So I have so 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:10.400 many things, and there's another great story coming up about dinner. 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:14.560 But just to give you the details, Lauren is not here. 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:18.040 She didn't come. Um, she's I believe, home with the kids. 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:22.320 Lauren's dad is here. I talked to him. I talked 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:25.760 to Chris and and his brother. His twin brother is here, 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:28.000 Caddy and for him, and Lauren's dad is here. He 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:30.120 came up and said hi to me as well. But 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:35.320 as far as when we would run into them, it 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:38.120 happened the first night. Wells and Ben and I are 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:42.120 at the bar here at this beautiful hotel, and sitting 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:46.200 two ft away at the bar is Chris Lane, his 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:51.560 bandmates and his brother and you're right there. Did you 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:54.920 guys have a moment? Did you say hello? Hug it out? Well? 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:58.480 I mean, I'm sure for him, he obviously no. You 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:03.080 know knows our history as well. So right away I 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:05.480 saw him. He didn't see me, so this that he 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:07.240 was kind of had his his head turn and I 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:10.360 walked up and I said, Hey, Chris, good to see you. 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:13.600 I just I had told Jessica like I wanted to 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:16.160 say hi. I mean, one, he has a there's a 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:19.360 lot of things that congratulate him. On to two children, 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:23.319 Congratulations to Chris and Lauren. God bless him. Um. And 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:24.959 you know he's down here at the Gloss for the 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:27.120 first time. This is my fourth year, so I'm kind 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:29.920 of a vet at this and so I just I well, 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:31.240 I told her, I was like, if I see him, 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:32.760 I'm just gonna go say hi because I would like 0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:36.080 to say hi anyways. Um, and so I did. I 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:38.520 just walked up and I said, hey, Chris, and I 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:43.440 will tell you, Um, it has been nothing but great. Uh, 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:46.680 it's been nice to to talk to him. It wasn't 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:48.280 It's not been the only time I've talked to him. 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:50.680 It's there's been four or five now run ins and 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:53.360 encounters and we talked golf and and then Lauren's dad 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:56.200 and I were able to catch up. Um. He actually 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:58.319 said hi to me. I didn't. I walked past him 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:04.000 and he said Ben, which felt really good. Um. I 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:10.760 wish it was you bed Son come home. Definitely not Yeah, 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:16.280 not no, I think he's very happy with where his 0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:21.240 life shook out. But um, yeah, it's there's just a 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:25.240 lot to break down. It's hard to explain that moment 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:28.880 and how to handle it well. And but I will 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:32.400 tell you, Chris was it was really nice and it's 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:35.360 been fun to be around them at this tournament and 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:38.040 I'm glad we did it like it. You know, when 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:41.200 you go through a breakup, there's always that moment where 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:43.199 like the band aid gets ripped off afterwards and then 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:45.800 you can start to heal. I kind of and I 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:48.000 don't even know, but they kind of felt like that 0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:49.800 a little bit too, where it's just like, Okay, if 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:51.480 Lauren comes down tomorrow, I don't know if she is 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:53.800 or not, and I run into her, it will be 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:56.640 good to see her, Like, it will be nice to 0:13:56.760 --> 0:14:01.960 just like say, okay, we've done this next chapter of 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:07.720 our lives. You disagree, no way. Man, If my girlfriend 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:09.360 was my ex girlfriend was here, I'd be like, I 0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:11.920 do not want to see them at all. You're just 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:14.679 too nice of a guy. Well, I don't know if 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:17.800 like you would have said, hey, what's your preference, Like 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:20.040 if if like is your preference that you're gonna be 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:21.600 hanging out and having dinner all of you at the 0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:26.640 same table like one. This is because like this is 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:28.640 a special event for you. I know you look forward 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:31.360 to it all year and and for this to have happened, 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:33.880 I know this isn't the dream scenario. But as well 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:36.680 as just stated very accurately, you are a great guy. 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:39.160 Because what I noticed at the bar the dynamic. And 0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:40.960 I was actually talking to Chris because I was at 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:44.680 the bar ordering drinks for everybody, um, and Chris was there, 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.080 so we sat there talking and you know that he 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:49.240 had been on the show before and catching up on 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:51.600 the kids and how tired he's been because they have 0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:56.960 a newborn and so um. But to watch you, you 0:14:57.000 --> 0:15:00.720 could have easily ignored the situation, acted like the elephant 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:04.240 was not in the room because he didn't quite make 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:06.800 eye contact, so it took you to walk over to 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:08.960 do that. Not that he was ignoring you, but I'm 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:11.120 just saying I don't think you guys could have easily 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:13.960 just ignored each other and acted like this thing didn't exist. 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:16.800 And instead you burst the bubble and just said, hey man, 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:20.480 you see you. Yeah. Well, And it also could have 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:22.280 gone when I said that, he could have been a 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:24.880 jerk to me, and he wasn't, so, you know, so 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:28.080 it moves it to a healthy place. He could I 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:29.600 could have walked up and be like, dude, don't talk 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:31.800 to me, and then it would have been like, well, crap, 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:34.760 now though we have four days of weirdness. He didn't 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:38.120 at all. It was a you know, it was a 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:43.560 healthy and like interaction. Um no, I will admit that 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:45.800 if you wrote down, hey, what's your dreams new? Like, 0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:47.680 this is a big event for me. You know, my 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:50.120 family's down here, my wife is down here, my friends 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:52.800 are here, Like I've dreamed of playing golf with Chris 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:55.560 and Welles in one of these tournaments for six years, 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:57.520 Like it has been something that I've wanted to do, 0:15:57.560 --> 0:15:59.280 and I always wanted to do it here because this 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:02.160 tournament is so fun to me. It's it's just a 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:05.120 really good tournament and it's and it's a healthy atmosphere. 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:09.440 And so to have that happen at this thing that 0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:13.200 I hold so sacred and special would not be ideal. 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:15.960 Be honest. Are you are you happy that Wells and 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:19.160 I were here to witness this with you? Or is 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:23.000 this your biggest nightmare? Both both. I'm glad that we 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:25.160 can do this because now we can talk about a podcast. 0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:27.400 And I'm I'm so thankful that we can give you content. 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:32.080 I've been I've been saying all week, thank you, Ben, 0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:35.840 You've been You're writing my podcast. Day after day, You've 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:37.920 been adding and I thought, I thought this was going 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:45.880 to crescendo um on Friday because the tournament directors reality, Yeah, 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:49.320 the tournament directors are not Bachelor fans, clearly because the 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:54.440 TV producer, the sick twisted mind of me um So, 0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:57.360 Chris Lane and Ben Higgins were very close in the 0:16:57.400 --> 0:17:01.320 point totals, and I thought, well, you're gonna put them together. 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:05.320 You're gonna make them play together against each other. That's 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:10.040 just a no brainer. And they didn't do it. Instead, 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:13.760 the good thing is Wells and band got to play together. 0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:15.679 I was very jealous, you guys got to play together. 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:18.600 But I was so bommed. I thought, Oh, this is magic. 0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:21.440 I'm gonna have to I'm gonna have five episodes to 0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:24.720 cover on this whole day of you guys. But it 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:28.280 didn't happen. But something did happen, and there is a 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:34.720 story that will make you cringe, make you cry, and 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:49.760 make you laugh. And that's next, Welcome back to the 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:54.439 most dramatic podcast ever, Ben Higgins Wells Adams. Here in 0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:58.840 my hotel room. We're here in Orlando for an amazing event, 0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:01.560 the LPGA Tour. Thank you to the LPGA Tour, by 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:03.600 the way. So this has been a real family affair. 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:05.879 We've been eating meals together. So we're at dinner the 0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:07.880 other night. We're just at a little pizza place having 0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:11.080 a beer, and there's a guy that I don't really 0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:13.399 know him that well. His name is Trip. He's a 0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:19.960 caddy and somehow we mentioned the name Chris Lane. Wells Adams, 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:22.800 please take the story from here. So we're all out 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:29.159 to dinner and we explain to Trip that, uh, this 0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:32.560 Chris Lane's there, and so he decides to He's like, 0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:34.680 I don't know who that is. So he looks him 0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:37.960 up and he finds a picture and he goes, well, look, 0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:42.840 his wife's pretty freaking hot. Look at her and and 0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:46.360 points the phone at I'm sitting next to Ben at 0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:50.160 me and then and I had this look of utter terror. 0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:52.600 I was like, I don't know if you're messing with 0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:56.480 us or not. He's like, what, you know who that is? Right? 0:18:56.720 --> 0:18:58.880 And he goes, no, she's just it's a hot chick 0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:04.440 hat spends X and they got engaged to on television, 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:10.440 and Wills didn't even do it full justice of how 0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:13.480 uncomfortable this moment was when this guy and it was 0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:16.520 as if we were shooting this for television. Wells and 0:19:16.560 --> 0:19:18.639 Ben and I are lined up so the three of 0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:21.040 us can see this guy when he turns the phone 0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:24.920 around and he says, God, Chris Lane's wife is she's 0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:28.639 a smoke show. And I'm like, I looked at Wells, 0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:31.280 I go, He's he's joking right in this case, No, man, 0:19:31.760 --> 0:19:35.640 she's really hot. And I thought this guy is either 0:19:35.720 --> 0:19:39.680 the smartest, most genius comedian I've ever met, or he's 0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:43.520 the dumbest human being. Turns out it's the latter, unfortunately. 0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:46.680 So he was going on and on about how hot 0:19:46.760 --> 0:19:50.399 Lauren was to Ben and Wells and I and I 0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:54.280 finally just said, buddy, you gotta stop talking. You gotta 0:19:54.359 --> 0:19:56.600 shut up, because he kept making it where he was 0:19:56.640 --> 0:19:58.080 trying to make it better, because you know, when you're 0:19:58.119 --> 0:20:00.800 really uncomfortable and you're like, no, I mean she's just 0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:02.399 Smulls don't know, I really want to be with her. 0:20:02.480 --> 0:20:04.479 It's like I want to take a bathroom, like please 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:09.760 stop talking, just stop talking, and it got worse and 0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:14.080 worse and worse. Ben Higgins, Yeah again. Um, I'm really 0:20:15.240 --> 0:20:17.840 I'm really thankful that this weekend that I love so 0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:20.360 much has has been so good and it has I mean, 0:20:20.720 --> 0:20:23.399 these are good moments that make me laugh. I mean 0:20:23.440 --> 0:20:28.480 they're funny now because to to fix the situation, I mean, 0:20:28.520 --> 0:20:30.359 it was awkward for a long time and I almost 0:20:30.440 --> 0:20:32.080 I just didn't say anything for walks. I was like, 0:20:32.119 --> 0:20:34.600 this is so weird, and like, I don't know how 0:20:34.640 --> 0:20:36.600 to respond, you know, how do I respond to him? 0:20:36.600 --> 0:20:41.360 Be like she's really hot? Like cool man, like yes, 0:20:41.480 --> 0:20:43.480 just stop talking, Like there's no good thing I can 0:20:43.520 --> 0:20:46.359 say here, Like there's no way out of this. And 0:20:46.400 --> 0:20:49.520 so finally when he finds out that that she is 0:20:49.600 --> 0:20:52.600 my ex, to heal it, he finds a picture of 0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:55.359 my wife and he goes, she's really hot too, and 0:20:55.359 --> 0:21:00.600 I'm like, dude, stop, I forgot about my god talking. 0:21:01.080 --> 0:21:06.920 That's what I forgotten. When he goes, oh my god, yeah, 0:21:07.000 --> 0:21:11.480 I know, thank you, but making it worse, I'd have 0:21:11.520 --> 0:21:16.119 sex with your wife too. It's exactly how it felt. 0:21:16.480 --> 0:21:20.240 It's exactly how it felt. To me, it was awesome 0:21:20.960 --> 0:21:24.560 and in all seriousness, and I'm sure your listeners can relate. 0:21:25.600 --> 0:21:30.000 These are very weird life moments. They are life moments 0:21:30.520 --> 0:21:33.639 that don't always happen, but to some they happen. You 0:21:33.680 --> 0:21:36.080 have an ex wife, you have an ex husband, you 0:21:36.119 --> 0:21:39.520 have an ex friend, whatever, and you see them again, 0:21:40.280 --> 0:21:41.840 and how are you going to handle it or how 0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:43.159 are they going to handle it? What is going to 0:21:43.240 --> 0:21:46.399 be said and not said? And it could not have 0:21:46.520 --> 0:21:48.760 gone it has not it could have not gone better 0:21:49.800 --> 0:21:52.199 in real life than what I could have imagined. Like, 0:21:52.280 --> 0:21:56.440 it's been a really good thing. There's just been these 0:21:56.480 --> 0:21:59.720 funny little moments in between, like, hey, what I love 0:21:59.760 --> 0:22:02.240 to have? I've like when before I even saw Chris 0:22:02.240 --> 0:22:05.920 and ran into him. What I want his locker right 0:22:05.960 --> 0:22:10.080 next to mine? No, uh, what I want? The guy 0:22:10.119 --> 0:22:12.560 across the table holding up a picture of my ax 0:22:12.600 --> 0:22:16.359 in front of my family and me and everybody else 0:22:16.400 --> 0:22:20.080 and be like, no, she's really hot. No I don't 0:22:20.080 --> 0:22:26.160 want that. And I wanted all of it, but it happened. 0:22:26.720 --> 0:22:30.600 It happened. But and you're right, I would say, if 0:22:30.600 --> 0:22:34.200 you can get over yourself, swallow your pride, these moments 0:22:34.200 --> 0:22:37.119 can be cathartic, and you realize none of this is 0:22:37.119 --> 0:22:38.960 that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things. 0:22:39.320 --> 0:22:43.000 Everybody's good. You can actually be grateful for it and 0:22:43.000 --> 0:22:45.880 be happy, and nobody really cares that much at this point. 0:22:45.960 --> 0:22:47.760 And look when you're in the weeds of it and 0:22:47.800 --> 0:22:51.080 it's happening to you right now. Um, you know, I 0:22:51.119 --> 0:22:54.400 mentioned Dianna and Steven Stagliano unfortunately going through what they're 0:22:54.400 --> 0:22:58.000 going through, and like right now, they're in the tempest 0:22:58.040 --> 0:23:00.239
