Speaker 1: me on this week's episode of Help I Suck At Dating.
Speaker 1: My name is still Dean Anglerts joined in studio by
Speaker 1: a very lovely guest. The usual suspects Mark and Easton
Speaker 1: are in here as well, but I'd love to hand
Speaker 1: it over to this lovely human being sitting right next
Speaker 1: to me if they wouldn't mind introducing themselves right now. Hello, Hello,
Speaker 1: I'm back. My name is My name is Leslie Murphy.
Speaker 1: I am Dean Unglert's girlfriend back in your ears. She's
Speaker 1: not imaginary, She's sitting right next to me. Yeah, I'm back.
Speaker 1: I feel like the first time I was on here,
Speaker 1: I didn't do a great job because I felt like
Speaker 1: I'm bad at keeping secrets and Bachelor Winner Games hadn't
Speaker 1: all aired yet, and so I kind of kept quiet.
Speaker 1: But not today, not today, Not today. Today, we are
Speaker 1: doing a very special episode. This is the time Leslie
Speaker 1: and I have been I guess on this podcast together
Speaker 1: post Bachelor Winter Games, of course, which is gonna be
Speaker 1: great because up until now and I mean up until
Speaker 1: I guess the last episode we had, We've had to
Speaker 1: keep a lot of things secret. And I know Winter
Speaker 1: Games feels like forever ago. And I understand that Bachelor
Speaker 1: takes precedent over that and the finale and that all
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff was crazy, but Batchelor Winter Games
Speaker 1: was still important to us. And although we do value
Speaker 1: you as listeners, we don't care that you think that
Speaker 1: Bachelor Winter Games feels like forever ago. Okay, we're here
Speaker 1: to answer your questions about our relationship. We want to, uh,
Speaker 1: we want to let you in on I don't know
Speaker 1: kind of anything that that you might be wondering. I
Speaker 1: know this is kind of a weird and wacky world
Speaker 1: sometimes and you're only allowed to see such a little
Speaker 1: part of it. Um, So yeah, we're gonna use this
Speaker 1: time to to kind of dive in a little bit deeper.
Speaker 1: And what else are we gonna do this episode? Mark, Well,
Speaker 1: we're just gonna take calls. It's it's asked being and
Speaker 1: Leslie anything. But I have a few questions. Just got
Speaker 1: to get the ball rolling. If you don't mind, please,
Speaker 1: how well did you know each other before Winter Games?
Speaker 1: I had never heard of this human Okay, well I
Speaker 1: had heard of this human being, but I didn't know
Speaker 1: a lot about him. I just I just knew of him.
Speaker 1: So when I saw him through the people of my
Speaker 1: door in the hotel, um, I got really excited because
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, Dean's here on Bachelor Winter Games. Um,
Speaker 1: so you didn't even know any of the cast before
Speaker 1: you got there. I did not, not a single soul.
Speaker 1: What did you know about him before you got there.
Speaker 1: I didn't know the Paradise drama. I didn't know of
Speaker 1: the love Triangle, stay away from anything, it's free. I
Speaker 1: didn't watch Rachel's season, so I went in with clean.
Speaker 1: He he actually came to me with the clean slate, no,
Speaker 1: no preconceived notions, no judgments, easy on the eyes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and we can share our our I guess introduction story
Speaker 1: later on if we want to do that. Okay, because
Speaker 1: that so I don't like leaving the colors waiting, and
Speaker 1: we have we have a few, which is shocking. So
Speaker 1: it's not that shocking. This is a great show. Less
Speaker 1: you're the best. You're so you're so down on yourself
Speaker 1: when you have when you give yourself no expectations, you
Speaker 1: never let yourself down. That's my wife's all right. So
Speaker 1: to start it off, we're gonna go to Megan in Atlanta. Um,
Speaker 1: who is on the phone now? Megan? Are you there? Hi?
Speaker 1: It's Dean. How are you hey? I'm good? How are you?
Speaker 1: I'm doing well. I'm enjoined in studio by my lovely girlfriend,
Speaker 1: Leslie Murphy. I understand you have a question for us.
Speaker 1: I do, Hi, Leslie? Hi, Megan, thanks for colling, of course. UM,
Speaker 1: I guess I just wanted to ask you, Poul, how
Speaker 1: this relationship feels different than any relationship you've been in
Speaker 1: in the past. Good question, Leslie. Start off with that one,
Speaker 1: um Field, how does it feel different? It feels different
Speaker 1: because I feel like the past two relationships that I've
Speaker 1: been in have been long distance. And I'm going to
Speaker 1: start with yes, I'm a travel bugger and I don't
Speaker 1: currently have a home base. But UM, I don't feel
Speaker 1: like this relationship is long distance at all, because I
Speaker 1: feel like the longest Dean that I have been separated
Speaker 1: has been like nine days I think. And so even
Speaker 1: though we've been dating for three months, we've spent so
Speaker 1: much time together. Okay, UM, So I feel like that
Speaker 1: is a really good first step. Um, just because it's
Speaker 1: been so short term, but I feel like we've grown
Speaker 1: a lot together, and um, yeah, I think that says
Speaker 1: a lot about us too. I think that we've only
Speaker 1: been together for three months, but I feel like, I
Speaker 1: don't know, I feel like I've known you for a
Speaker 1: lot longer than that. This is a good thing. It's
Speaker 1: a good thing. I like to think it's a good thing.
Speaker 1: And now you're going to separate for two weeks Dean
Speaker 1: is going to India. That'll be the longest time we've
Speaker 1: been Do you think that's good for the relationship. Is
Speaker 1: it a test for the relationship? Sure? I think I
Speaker 1: really do believe that absence makes the heart grow fonder
Speaker 1: absence Just yeah, Um, does that answer the question, Megan?
Speaker 1: I think it does. It's definitely different than any relationship
Speaker 1: I've been in. I know Ulessie has been removed from
Speaker 1: the show a little longer than I have before she
Speaker 1: went on Bachelor Winter Games, so she kind of restored
Speaker 1: a bit of normality to her life for normalcy to
Speaker 1: her life. Um, but for me, it's kind of like
Speaker 1: the first public relationship I've ever been in my entire life,
Speaker 1: and that just kind of comes with it with its differences. Well,
Speaker 1: I saw on Twitter that you were having brunch or
Speaker 1: breakfast in Colorado and you noticed a woman at the
Speaker 1: table next to sneaking pictures of you with her turquoise iPhone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the kind of thing you gotta use to write
Speaker 1: it's yeah, it's sad an airport pictures yesterday. It's there.
Speaker 1: It presents its challenges. And at first when we were
Speaker 1: like when Lesson I were out in public before Winter Games,
Speaker 1: it aired since I was kind of like the fresh
Speaker 1: fresher face, people would like ask me for pictures and
Speaker 1: she was like not necessarily included in those sometimes, and
Speaker 1: that was challenging the relationship. But it's it's just a
Speaker 1: little bit different. It's just kind of like readjusting a
Speaker 1: little bit. But it's not bad. I mean, I've enjoyed
Speaker 1: every second of it. Yeah, I mean I think that's
Speaker 1: a great answer. First public relationship, Um, I guess for
Speaker 1: both of us. Yes, that's pressure though, Like you're in
Speaker 1: US weekly or you were before you were supposed to
Speaker 1: be there. You are the park City thing. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: that's got to be pressure on a relationship. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think a lot of pressure comes with it because you'll,
Speaker 1: you know, I'll read things on social media and um,
Speaker 1: that gets under my skin. And you have to have
Speaker 1: tough skin to be in a public relationship, and will
Speaker 1: I do. I'm only human and things definitely get to me. Um.
Speaker 1: I won't say any specifics because it's only going to
Speaker 1: make me mad right now. Um, how's that? Megan to that? Okay? Cool? Well,
Speaker 1: thank thank you for calling in. And if you are
Speaker 1: listening to this podcast, which I hope you are, thank
Speaker 1: you for listening. Yeah. Thanks Megan, I am. I love
Speaker 1: it and I love Mark too, Thank you, and Eastern
Speaker 1: America of course. Everyone. Okay, thank you guys, Thank you. Megan,
Speaker 1: have a good day. Can you shield yourself from social media?
Speaker 1: Because I think that would drive me nuts and people
Speaker 1: were on their saying, you know, talking trash about me
Speaker 1: or my wife. That would drive me insane. Can you
Speaker 1: just shield yourself from that? It's you, Yes and no.
Speaker 1: I think Dean did Um did a great thing the
Speaker 1: other day when we were in hunder Us. I was
Speaker 1: having a really rough time because that's when Winter Games
Speaker 1: is airing, and he took my phone and turned all
Speaker 1: UM notifications off, which helped immensely. This beautiful woman got
Speaker 1: notified every single time someone commented on her Instagram post
Speaker 1: or Twitter posts like all of this stuff. And you
Speaker 1: get a lot of comments on some pictures like whether
Speaker 1: the controversial whatever they are, and her phone was constantly
Speaker 1: blown up and it was giving me and that he
Speaker 1: just like, watch it continue to blow You have your
Speaker 1: you've had your nifications off for a long time and
Speaker 1: I haven't. So I saw everything that was coming in,
Speaker 1: anything that was good, everything that was bad from oh
Speaker 1: you know, we liked you better with Christina, Like, that's
Speaker 1: going to get to me that that's not good, that's
Speaker 1: not healthy. There's a very useful filter on Instagram that
Speaker 1: you can have certain words into. At any time a
Speaker 1: comment with that word is placed on your Instagram post,
Speaker 1: it's no, it's removed, nullified immediately. I introduced Leslie to
Speaker 1: that feature, and a certain someone's name was put in
Speaker 1: that feature, and so you'll never even see that. They don't.
Speaker 1: God know, she's gone forever. That's good. And trust me,
Speaker 1: everyone on this show or any everyone uses that feature
Speaker 1: regardless of what it is. Oh yeah, whoever the person is,
Speaker 1: for sure, it's absolutely necessary necessary. Um okay, next, we're
Speaker 1: going to go, well, we're gonna stay in Georgia. We're
Speaker 1: going to go to Maya, who is in Athens. Which
Speaker 1: is funny enough actually because we were just in Athens.
Speaker 1: What's up? How are you? How does night? Um? I
Speaker 1: want to call you to ask you about your visit
Speaker 1: to Athen. Well, so you live in Athens? I do, yeah.
Speaker 1: I wanted to school here, um and I work for
Speaker 1: a Y. I graduated from you g a best and
Speaker 1: happiest place on earth. Go dogs? Yes, did Ryan seacreft
Speaker 1: to studio right now? That's interesting? Um. It was my
Speaker 1: first experience in Athens, which it was great. It was
Speaker 1: on the tail end of our I guess, a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks long journey through Honduras and then up into Georgia. Um,
Speaker 1: it was great. The wedding was beautiful. It was my
Speaker 1: first time meeting a lot of Leslie's friends, I guess
Speaker 1: all of Leslie's friends, which is always kind of a
Speaker 1: daunting experience, especially in a wedding, because everyone is so
Speaker 1: high energy and very like communicative and outwardly I guess
Speaker 1: expressing of feelings and all that kind of stuff. So
Speaker 1: it was just like it was. It was a great
Speaker 1: experience to go there and meet a lot of Leslie's
Speaker 1: friends that she went to college with, and um, kind
Speaker 1: of see how successful all their relationships are. And I
Speaker 1: really enjoyed myself. Um, But I don't know, what do
Speaker 1: you think less? I thought it was a perfect weekend, Um,
Speaker 1: Dean has I think Dean has been to two weddings
Speaker 1: in his life. I think that's what you said. Yeah,
Speaker 1: which is not a lot. Um. And so to introduce
Speaker 1: him to a wedding weekend and um rehearsal dinner and
Speaker 1: kind of everything surrounding it was probably pretty daunting for him. Um.
Speaker 1: And he did great. I mean I wasn't really worried
Speaker 1: about it at all, but he was like, what's like,
Speaker 1: what is the Southern food? What am I eating? Like,
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, all these people are dressed up. We
Speaker 1: actually went and ran to a tux Yeah, I brought
Speaker 1: I brought a dress, sure in a pair of slacks
Speaker 1: because I was unfamiliar with Southern weddings. So everybody else
Speaker 1: was dressed at the night. Yes, we had to make
Speaker 1: an emergency pit stop at a tuxedo rental. Wow, we
Speaker 1: sure did. He literally has holes all over his shirt today,
Speaker 1: not in Athens, Georgia. He did not. La. La and
Speaker 1: Athens are a little bit different in terms of but
Speaker 1: that's a big step meeting the friends. Have you guys
Speaker 1: met each other's family members at some point? Yes and
Speaker 1: no not all thumb, not at all. But to your point,
Speaker 1: back to the Athens speaker, I didn't go. I didn't
Speaker 1: walk into the arch. I understand that's bad luck if
Speaker 1: you're not a you're not a graduate graduate. I did.
Speaker 1: He did not, um. But yeah, that was a perfect weekend.
Speaker 1: I it's one of my favorite places in the world.
Speaker 1: I had such a great four years in Athens, so
Speaker 1: it was a dream to be able to take Dean
Speaker 1: there and come around. Yeah, so were you nervous? I
Speaker 1: am very admittedly an introvert, So I don't get nervous
Speaker 1: with those situations. I just don't necessarily get very excited
Speaker 1: about them. I'm always excited to obviously people that are
Speaker 1: important to Leslie, like her friends and eventually her family
Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff. So it wasn't necessarily nerves.
Speaker 1: It was just when you have to you know, when
Speaker 1: you have to go into a social setting like that
Speaker 1: and like meet a hundred people, it can be very text.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of whiskey involved. Um, but he did.
Speaker 1: He did the nicest thing. So Um, it was Saturday.
Speaker 1: We were just getting ready to walk down the aisle
Speaker 1: go into the chapel. Everybody, you know, is if you're
Speaker 1: in a wedding, you're with the bridesmaids and the groomsman,
Speaker 1: and everybody's hungry. And I just happened to text Dean
Speaker 1: that I wanted a pizza. Well, the next twenty minutes
Speaker 1: came and a Domino's guy walks in with a full
Speaker 1: pizza to feed the whole wedding party. It was the
Speaker 1: nicest thing. He's He's so sweet. I was going for
Speaker 1: the brownie points. You got him. That's amazing. Well, I'm
Speaker 1: so happy you guys such a you have such a
Speaker 1: good time, Leslie and a huge fan of your blog zine.
Speaker 1: I love the podcast everybody in studio because they're amazing.
Speaker 1: Good job, the best, we have every confidence. Please call
Speaker 1: in every week. I'll be back. All right, thank you
Speaker 1: so much, take care? Ok by guys. All right, who's next?
Speaker 1: Next up? We got Bell from San Francisco, and Bell's
Speaker 1: question is directed towards Leslie. But Bell, how are you
Speaker 1: I'm good. How are you. I'm good. Thank you so
Speaker 1: much for calling in. UM, what's your question for us?
Speaker 1: So my question is, um, if Leslie was kind of like,
Speaker 1: I guess turned off by the podcast name because I
Speaker 1: know when you're talking about your theoretical relationship before Winter
Speaker 1: Games there that was something you were worried about. So
Speaker 1: I want to know if it was like something that
Speaker 1: was present bell, how much time do you have? No, UM,
Speaker 1: thank you for calling in, Thanks for the question. I
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of the podcast name. UM, so
Speaker 1: here is my official petition behind deed to change it. UM.
Speaker 1: We can talk about potentials later, but that was something
Speaker 1: we talked about early on. UM. Actually, no, I think
Speaker 1: it was during the filming of Winter Games Ben Higgins.
Speaker 1: Ben Higgins came up and he was like, so, Leslie
Speaker 1: familiar that Dean has a podcast And I was like, no,
Speaker 1: I had no idea. And he's like, well, you want
Speaker 1: to know what it's called? And I was like, sure,
Speaker 1: what's what's the name of it. He's like, help it.
Speaker 1: I suck at dating and I just remember just looking
Speaker 1: at Dean and I was like, this is going to
Speaker 1: be an uphill battle. Um. No, but but I do
Speaker 1: want to say officially that there Dean does not suck
Speaker 1: at dating. I'm just gonna put that out there. He
Speaker 1: does not suck whatsoever. So there are multiple there are
Speaker 1: multiple reasons why I think this podcast needs to be changed,
Speaker 1: and I'm just gonna he's progressed past the paradise. Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh. I absolutely and I think that probably showed
Speaker 1: up on screen too. It definitely did took the drop.
Speaker 1: And I know we've talked about changing the name of
Speaker 1: this podcast. I was left definitely lobbying for earlier on
Speaker 1: I was I discussed last week on my podcast and well,
Speaker 1: Leslie and I listened to Yeah a little bit, and
Speaker 1: I'm I'm getting a little bit more comfortable with the
Speaker 1: name because of how comfortable and confident I am in
Speaker 1: our relationship. And it's kind of more of a title
Speaker 1: that now can be projected onto the listeners and less
Speaker 1: so the host of the podcast. If that makes sense.
Speaker 1: It does. I'm still for help dating stuck, but that's
Speaker 1: just one opinion. I'm with you. At some point, help
Speaker 1: by sucker dating the listeners sucker dating and they can
Speaker 1: reach out and get help on this particular podcast. I
Speaker 1: get where you're I get where you're going with that.
Speaker 1: It's still a personalization when the word I is in
Speaker 1: the title. True, but there's an iron it's ironic. It's
Speaker 1: an ironic. See. To me, the title has always been satire,
Speaker 1: but now right to everyone it can also be satized.
Speaker 1: But it really the most important thing is whether or
Speaker 1: not Leslie is okay and comfortable with it. And if
Speaker 1: that's not the case, then we can Honestly, he's sweet
Speaker 1: and he just reach over to hold my hand as
Speaker 1: he said that, Well, well, thank you for calling in.
Speaker 1: I love the name, by the way, um, and we
Speaker 1: hope that you keep listening to the podcast because we
Speaker 1: appreciate you listening. And I'm trying to suck less dating. See,
Speaker 1: there you go, There you go. That's all we can
Speaker 1: all hope to. Did you feel like it lowered the
Speaker 1: bar for being a little bit like, oh, he's gonna
Speaker 1: suck at dating and then it turns out he's not.
Speaker 1: That's true. I guess that was in his his advantage,
Speaker 1: I don't know, or my advantage. Yeah, all the expectations
Speaker 1: were low, so he blew those out of the water. Still,
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't hate that, but I don't like it.
Speaker 1: It's just it's just false. Do you want to know
Speaker 1: something wrong. Some of my expectations that are low outside
Speaker 1: of this relationship are usually my workout goals. But I
Speaker 1: still I still do my best to try as hard
Speaker 1: as possible to make sure that I'm reaching those workout goals.
Speaker 1: And I think one of the issues that I struggle
Speaker 1: most with is just getting my butt up out the
Speaker 1: door into the gym. So one way that I've learned
Speaker 1: to kind of curb that and get away from that
Speaker 1: whole process in logistical nuisance of even getting there, it's
Speaker 1: just using beach Body on Demand. Have you heard of
Speaker 1: beach Body on Demand? Yeah? I have. I think I
Speaker 1: think it would be really good for you, because, um,
Speaker 1: even this morning, it was what seven thirty, and I
Speaker 1: was like, Dean, wake up to the gym right, And
Speaker 1: then I was like, I don't want to go to
Speaker 1: the gym. So what we did instead of going to
Speaker 1: the gym was just turn on beach Body on Demand
Speaker 1: on our TV in the living room. It's fun. Um,
Speaker 1: it's pretty great. It's it's basically an online fitness streaming
Speaker 1: service that gives you unlimited access to a variety of
Speaker 1: highly effective, world class workouts and they're all personalized to
Speaker 1: meet your needs. Um. So whether you want to burn
Speaker 1: some fat, built and muscle, train for and durance, whatever
Speaker 1: it is, it's it'll have your back and and basically
Speaker 1: on demand. Like I said, so you you can do
Speaker 1: it on your TV, um, your xbox, whatever you use,
Speaker 1: basically your your tablet um. So some of the programs
Speaker 1: that Leslie really enjoys and so as long as she's
Speaker 1: enjoying it, I'm enjoying it as well. Is the the
Speaker 1: yoga section of Beach Body on Demand. Because I'm not flexible,
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily like to do things that I'm bad at,
Speaker 1: and yoga is one of those things. But Leslie really
Speaker 1: finds a lot of joy from it. So I try
Speaker 1: and do as best as I possibly can to make
Speaker 1: sure that you know, we're doing it together and we're
Speaker 1: enjoying that yoga as much as possible. And that's what's
Speaker 1: great about be each Body on Demand. You don't have
Speaker 1: to even go out and um, you know, kind of
Speaker 1: embarrass yourself in front of a class because you're doing
Speaker 1: everything in your house, on your own time, in your
Speaker 1: own privacy, etcetera, etcetera. So if you have some current
Speaker 1: health goals that are to lose weight, get more flexible,
Speaker 1: build muscle, whatever it is, like I'm pretty sure most
Speaker 1: of us do, especially with the New Year's resolution. If
Speaker 1: you want to give it a truck, if you want
Speaker 1: to give it a try, just go ahead and text
Speaker 1: Dean to thirty thirty that's d E A and two
Speaker 1: three zero three zero three zero. You'll get a free
Speaker 1: trial membership. Um. You'll get full access the entire platform,
Speaker 1: all the workouts, all of the nutritional information as well
Speaker 1: as I'm sure Leslie can attest. I'm not maybe not
Speaker 1: the most nutritional balanced. Uh don't have the most balanced diet.
Speaker 1: And so it's great ter at the airport and it
Speaker 1: was delicious and android every second of it, So it's
Speaker 1: great with that is they kind of both do both sides,
Speaker 1: you know, both of the the workouts and the nutrition
Speaker 1: shide of it. So go ahead and texting D E
Speaker 1: A N TOT and you can get a free child
Speaker 1: membership to beach Body on Demand. I like beach Body
Speaker 1: on Demand personally because I hate going to the gym
Speaker 1: because they don't like other people. I always feel like
Speaker 1: they know how to work everything and I have no
Speaker 1: idea what I'm doing there, and so I always feel
Speaker 1: like a fish out of water at the gym, and
Speaker 1: maybe everyone does. But that's why I hate going to
Speaker 1: the gym. You have to wait for the machines. Wait
Speaker 1: for the machines. They're sweat, there's wiping stuff off, there's
Speaker 1: there's germs, there's odors. Also, when I watch a video,
Speaker 1: I get bored of the same video over and over
Speaker 1: and over and over again. So this is great. It's
Speaker 1: on demand. It's all these different options for me. Every
Speaker 1: day can be something different. That's why I love it.
Speaker 1: If I may, It's kind of like the reverse problem
Speaker 1: with Netflix. When I got on Netflix, all I do
Speaker 1: was watch the same thing over and over again you do.
Speaker 1: But with Beach Body on demand, I have like the
Speaker 1: reverse problem. I like to try new things every single time.
Speaker 1: So that's great, and you can go back to it
Speaker 1: again if it's you, if you liked it, if you
Speaker 1: like it, which you will like it, but you also
Speaker 1: want to try everything else. And it's great for travelers
Speaker 1: out there. You can just do it and get it
Speaker 1: over with in a hotel room, phone, your tablet, whatever
Speaker 1: you got on laptop. It's great. Exactly we all love
Speaker 1: each body on demand. It's the best. We have more
Speaker 1: calls lined up for you and a lot of questions
Speaker 1: from Twitter, but I don't want to keep the callers waiting,
Speaker 1: so let's keep going with those. We're going to jump
Speaker 1: over to Madison from Alabama. Madison, are you there? Hi?
Speaker 1: And here? What's up? Hi? It's Dean and Leslie. How
Speaker 1: are you? Hi'm Madison? Good? How are you? You're here
Speaker 1: with me and my friend Ashton? Oh wait Ashton? Yes,
Speaker 1: all right, thanks for calling in. Guys, Well we'll question
Speaker 1: do you. We're so excited. Um, So we both watched
Speaker 1: back to winner James along stalytic um and we're just wondering, like,
Speaker 1: and they all had like a one on one, But
Speaker 1: what did all do outside of just that one on
Speaker 1: one that was planned? Um? Just special between you two,
Speaker 1: like not like film or ever. Um we made out
Speaker 1: a lot. Yeah, we kissed a lot um probably in
Speaker 1: every crevice of that house. Um. Yeah, that's awesome. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: we There was one time I think they didn't air
Speaker 1: the date at all, but our second day that we
Speaker 1: went on there was a bowling portion to it. And
Speaker 1: on that day we bet the loser had to make
Speaker 1: the winter breakfast, and I don't think they. I don't
Speaker 1: think they aired this. But the following morning, um, I
Speaker 1: get out of the shower and Leslie is waiting in
Speaker 1: like the communal bedroom with a ginormous bowl of Lucky
Speaker 1: charms Zy Charms. He hated it. He was not impressed
Speaker 1: at all. I mean, and I don't I don't cook.
Speaker 1: I travel for a living, so I don't have a kitchen.
Speaker 1: And I thought, you know, I like cereal. I thought
Speaker 1: maybe he like cereal. No, not a chance, So I
Speaker 1: went down. I went I went back down to the
Speaker 1: kitchen and made and pancakes so in the shape of
Speaker 1: in the shape of puppies. And then the following morning
Speaker 1: I decided to make her a begel with cottage cheese
Speaker 1: and peanut butter, which is an Australian I don't know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was really good. We need to bring that back,
Speaker 1: that cheese and peanut but it sounds rough, but it's
Speaker 1: actually not bad. All of those things. I've never had
Speaker 1: them together, right, Well, that's what it's like my favorite
Speaker 1: thing to do. You like, what's my boyfriends make breakfast? Like?
Speaker 1: I feel like such a really siding. Like yeah, and
Speaker 1: now I mean, I guess neither of us had really
Speaker 1: made breakfast for each other in a while, but check
Speaker 1: did we haven't? No, we did? Okay. Um. Other than
Speaker 1: those two things, I'm trying to think of what else
Speaker 1: we might have done for each other. We we spend
Speaker 1: a lot of time together just kind of sitting on
Speaker 1: the couch and right making and making out and talk
Speaker 1: and other cameras on you that whole time making out,
Speaker 1: talking the breakfast stuff. The tricky thing with games was
Speaker 1: like cameras around or do you just kind of like
Speaker 1: forget about it? You forget about it? You really do, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because they're I mean they're in front of you, they're
Speaker 1: on the walls. Sometimes the dates get a little awkward
Speaker 1: just because you become the focal point. Like when you're
Speaker 1: making out in the living room and there's cameras around,
Speaker 1: it's like you're like you're one of five couples that
Speaker 1: are making out. But when you're on a date, it's
Speaker 1: kind of like, I can't imagine that, it's so cool.
Speaker 1: Do you ever feel bad for the camera people? Like
Speaker 1: we've just been seening you're talking for an hour in
Speaker 1: twenty minutes, it's poor guy's been kneeling, poor guy. And
Speaker 1: and I don't know how they keep a straight face
Speaker 1: with drama Gallican like I feel like I would not
Speaker 1: be able to not say something if I was a
Speaker 1: camera man, like I would want to be a friend.
Speaker 1: You have a good poker face, Madison. Every once in
Speaker 1: a while you'll say something funny, and if you make
Speaker 1: a cameraman laugh, that's when you know what you said
Speaker 1: was actually funny, because they're not supposed to react to
Speaker 1: you at all, exactly. Um, alright, Madison, Well, thank you
Speaker 1: so much for calling in. Well, I guess you and
Speaker 1: Ashton for calling in. Thanks guys. We we love you, guys, Madison.
Speaker 1: All right, we're moving on to Katrina from Miami. Uh
Speaker 1: we have a friend that's from Miami as well. Baby
Speaker 1: on it. But Katrina are you there? Yes, I'm here.
Speaker 1: How are you today? I'm good at I'm doing all.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for asking. You got Leslie me
Speaker 1: Eastern Mark, But I don't think you have questions for
Speaker 1: you sooner? Mark, So what do you got for me
Speaker 1: and him? I wanted to know how much change when
Speaker 1: you're on Winter Games and then when you're like you
Speaker 1: in real life, like in the real world, yeah, Well
Speaker 1: you're talking about the show airing, I assume, right, So
Speaker 1: it's kind of a it's kind of a bummer. Uh too,
Speaker 1: it's not a bummer, but it's difficult to be in
Speaker 1: a relationship while the show is airing and you quote
Speaker 1: unquote have to keep it secret. It's kind of like
Speaker 1: it's debilitating to a relationship at times because you have
Speaker 1: to be like cognizant of what you're posting on your
Speaker 1: Instagram store, your Snapchat, your Twitter, whatever it is. I
Speaker 1: don't think we were ever very good at keeping it
Speaker 1: a secret though. We were not good at it, but
Speaker 1: we at least had to consciously put effort into keeping
Speaker 1: it under wraps as best as possibly. Even we're bad
Speaker 1: at it. So what's nice about the show being over
Speaker 1: is that you don't have to do that anymore and
Speaker 1: you can just post whatever you want, whether it's cute
Speaker 1: too or just you know, someone sleeping on an airplane
Speaker 1: while they're pretending to read a book next to you.
Speaker 1: You don't necessarily have to like hide that kind of
Speaker 1: stuff anymore, which is great. Um, So that's that's kind
Speaker 1: of the biggest change about it in my opinion. Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's yeah. I mean, I guess that's a very service answer. Um,
Speaker 1: I think that. I think it's changed significantly since we
Speaker 1: were filming in Vermont in December, because as um, you know,
Speaker 1: everything is curated for you on the show, and it's
Speaker 1: such a romantic winter wonderland you're surrounded by, so everything
Speaker 1: is great, and we had we really didn't have much
Speaker 1: drama on the show at all. So then cut to
Speaker 1: the real world and um, you know, having to just
Speaker 1: rely on phones and face time for a while. That
Speaker 1: was interesting because for three weeks that in December, we
Speaker 1: ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner together and saw each other
Speaker 1: every day, and so we had a ton of time
Speaker 1: with one another, and then all of a sudden, we
Speaker 1: didn't and so that was interesting and and and also
Speaker 1: then we had our phone phones back on the internet,
Speaker 1: and um, you know, I'm I'm I always want to
Speaker 1: go in things with um zero preconceived notions and judgments.
Speaker 1: But then you know, all of a sudden, I had
Speaker 1: the Internet to tell me maybe what to think, and
Speaker 1: it's you know, you're only humans, so some of that
Speaker 1: stuff got to me and it was challenging for a while,
Speaker 1: I think. And there in December I did my best
Speaker 1: to prepare her for that while we're in that bubble.
Speaker 1: You don't necessarily know what Google has to say about someone.
Speaker 1: And I was telling Leslie constantly. I was like, you,
Speaker 1: I just want you to be prepared for this kind
Speaker 1: of mailstrom that you're gonna get when you leave the
Speaker 1: show and you're gonna see all this stuff and and
Speaker 1: it's you can only prepare someone so much until I
Speaker 1: see it firsthand. So it was definitely challenging. It's it's
Speaker 1: funny because you know your relationships, say it takes five
Speaker 1: steps forward during the filming a Bauchelor Winter Games, and
Speaker 1: then you get out and it kind of takes a
Speaker 1: couple of steps back because you're kind of relearning not
Speaker 1: only how to interact with that person, but also you're
Speaker 1: learning a lot more about that person just through third
Speaker 1: party media sources whatever it is. Um. Yeah, I remember
Speaker 1: going to visit Dean for the first time in l
Speaker 1: a um at the end of December, and it was
Speaker 1: interesting to see him in his environment in the real world,
Speaker 1: and I learned a lot more about him in that instance.
Speaker 1: And we just continue to do that everywhere we go.
Speaker 1: So it's, yeah, I think we we have progressed so
Speaker 1: far since that time, very far. Three months together. I
Speaker 1: mean that's I mean, that's not that's congratulations. I mean,
Speaker 1: actually I can Eddie, we just found out that's over now.
Speaker 1: I still haven't talk to ask you about this, but
Speaker 1: I heard I got the news. It's very sad. Yeah, so,
Speaker 1: but I mean good for you. I mean I think this,
Speaker 1: this is great. Three months going strong. I know that
Speaker 1: doesn't sound like much, but I think you should be.
Speaker 1: Probably we're stronger today than we were the day we
Speaker 1: left from two games. And I think we've got stronger
Speaker 1: every single day and not as strong as tomorrow. Profound. Um. Katrina, Well,
Speaker 1: thank you so much for calling in. It was great
Speaker 1: to have you and keep listening to the podcast. Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: thank you so much. Thanks Katrina, thank you so much.
Speaker 1: All Right, bye, I'm so bad at saying goodbye to people. Um,
Speaker 1: it's just it's a simple goodbye. And finally we have Emma,
Speaker 1: who is from Massachusetts. Emma, are you there? Yes, Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, high, how the heck are you? It's Dean
Speaker 1: and Leslie. Hey, Emma, oh my god, hello, this is amazing.
Speaker 1: It's amazing that you called into the podcast. We're so
Speaker 1: happy to have you on. Oh my gosh, thank you.
Speaker 1: Um So, what's the question you have for us? So?
Speaker 1: I know you love dogs, and I was wondering, I
Speaker 1: don't know if you have a dog right now, but
Speaker 1: you got a dog, what kind of you get and
Speaker 1: what would you name it? Well? I do love dogs,
Speaker 1: and I don't know if I shared the story on
Speaker 1: the podcast, but I got a dog in college. I
Speaker 1: rescued a dog when she was eight weeks old as
Speaker 1: a sophomore in college with one of my great friends.
Speaker 1: Um and we still have her. She the dog lives
Speaker 1: with the girl that I got her with in college
Speaker 1: in Pasadena, and I see her every once in a while,
Speaker 1: but mostly just like the lifestyle that I have now,
Speaker 1: I can't keep a dog with good graces knowing that
Speaker 1: I'm gone half the time. Um. She has a big
Speaker 1: yard in Pasadena and another dog to play with, and
Speaker 1: I just feel like she's probably happy over there for
Speaker 1: the time being. But her name is Nala. I'm a
Speaker 1: big Lion King fan. I've had a stuff Simba since
Speaker 1: I was about four years old, and so I've always yeah,
Speaker 1: so I've always loved that. Um. So that's why we
Speaker 1: named her Nala. She's like a flatcoat Retriever, which is
Speaker 1: like basically a golden Retriever, but um, she's darker coated
Speaker 1: and a little bit smaller. But what's funny is so
Speaker 1: we just took a trip to Colorado this past weekend
Speaker 1: and when we had to get like some itch cream
Speaker 1: at Walmart because I got some bug bites on me,
Speaker 1: and we saw the cutest little eight week old St.
Speaker 1: Bernard puppy and I like we left. I was like
Speaker 1: mind blown, and I was like, we need to go
Speaker 1: back on the way out of here and see if
Speaker 1: we can offer any amount of money to get that
Speaker 1: dog from that man that owned it. But the dog
Speaker 1: was gone when we got back. Yeah, it wasn't meant
Speaker 1: to be. But I swear any day now he could
Speaker 1: rescue a dog. I feel, I'm just I need to
Speaker 1: start fostering, because fostering, I think is the right approach,
Speaker 1: because if you're only in town for a week or
Speaker 1: two weeks out of the month's a bit selfish. It's
Speaker 1: not to get a dog when you're not here. I
Speaker 1: thought you're gonna say to foster, no, no, no no,
Speaker 1: but you you have trouble saying goodbye to the listeners.
Speaker 1: How could you say goodbye to a dog that you've
Speaker 1: been fostering. The way that I look at it, in
Speaker 1: the way that's been justified to me, is that week
Speaker 1: spent with you is better than a week spent in
Speaker 1: the shelter. Oh, that's for sure. Um, And it will
Speaker 1: be difficult to say goodbye. And I know, actually I can.
Speaker 1: Eddie has fostered two dogs and now owns those two
Speaker 1: dogs from a great place called Barking Bitches. If you're
Speaker 1: in the l A area. My sister got her dog
Speaker 1: from there and it's a great place. Um, it's in
Speaker 1: West Hollywood. Yeah, I do love Barking Bitches. Um. So yeah,
Speaker 1: do you have a dog, Emma? Yeah, I do. I
Speaker 1: have a black class between Studdy. How old is Buddy?
Speaker 1: I love Buddy. He's um, he's hate Oh he's an
Speaker 1: old one. Yeah, I know. I can't believe it's so.
Speaker 1: Nala is probably six or seven now, so right around
Speaker 1: the same age. I love. I love old fat dogs.
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I think it makes my personality
Speaker 1: better because I just want to set on the couch
Speaker 1: all day, introvert. He's like an old man and a
Speaker 1: puppy at the same time. I love it. I feel
Speaker 1: like I can kind of empathize with him there um emma, Well,
Speaker 1: thank you so much for calling in. Thank you for
Speaker 1: listening to the podcast. Uh, tell all your friends listening
Speaker 1: for answering my call. Yeah, of course we'll do this
Speaker 1: again sometime soon and maybe we can have your call back. Yes,
Speaker 1: thank you. Oh my gosh, have a great day. I'm
Speaker 1: so happy you guys are together to You're so cute.
Speaker 1: I have a great day. Thank you for calling in. Thanks,
Speaker 1: bye bye. All right, So next up we have another caller,
Speaker 1: Christie from New Jersey. How are you? This is Dean
Speaker 1: and Leslie. How are you? Hi, Christine Leslie? I love
Speaker 1: you guys to winter days. That was the st with
Speaker 1: you guys, Christie Warren Jersey. Are you from from North Bergen? Oh? Nice,
Speaker 1: I was born in Where was I born? New Brunswick?
Speaker 1: I think you think so? Hey, Jersey Jersey Jersey twins. Yes,
Speaker 1: what's the question for us? I have a question for Leslie.
Speaker 1: You just want to know, Leslie, did you watch Rachel's
Speaker 1: season and uh, the part where Dean had that confrontation
Speaker 1: with his dad. I want to know what you thought
Speaker 1: about that? You know, what. I did not watch Rachel's season.
Speaker 1: I think I watched the premiere in the finale, um,
Speaker 1: just because I I'm all over the place all the
Speaker 1: time and can't. I can't keep up with the Bachelor
Speaker 1: some some seasons, and so hers was not one that
Speaker 1: I watched. I've heard a lot about it. Um, and
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know if we're if we want
Speaker 1: to get into this, but I was, Um, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know any anything prior to when I met Dean, really,
Speaker 1: but I did. I was able to meet a few
Speaker 1: of his family members this past weekend in Colorado. Um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was cool. It was Yeah, I know it gave me,
Speaker 1: I think, a deeper perspective of where he came from
Speaker 1: and and um, so I know a lot of people
Speaker 1: have preconceived notions and judgment calls from his hometowns in um,
Speaker 1: from Rachel's season, and I was happy that I could
Speaker 1: just meet them on my own accord off camera. Um.
Speaker 1: And they're very, very very nice people. So I was
Speaker 1: really happy to be able to do that, and that
Speaker 1: Dean allowed me to do that. Yeah, that's amazing. I mean, Dean,
Speaker 1: I congratulate you. I saw a picture of you in
Speaker 1: your dad's on Instagram, which is great. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: happy to see you guys start together and you know,
Speaker 1: family's family, like you said, Thanks Christy. Yeah, that was
Speaker 1: the first time we had I guess even had a
Speaker 1: conversation since we filmed that in April of last year.
Speaker 1: So wow, congrats. I hope everything works out with you
Speaker 1: and your family and with Lovey as well, because she's
Speaker 1: a great, amazing person and she thanks Christie, thank you
Speaker 1: so much. Have to have a great time you too. Bye.
Speaker 1: We have so many questions on Twitter, so I'm going
Speaker 1: to kind of throw a match and see what you say.
Speaker 1: There's some really good ones here. So if you could
Speaker 1: have a joint wedding with anyone from the Bachelor franchise,
Speaker 1: who would you choose and why go for it? Dean
Speaker 1: joint wedding with anyone from the Bachelor franchise that's from
Speaker 1: Ursula by the way, Courtney and Lily Courtney and the
Speaker 1: two from Bachelor Winter, that would be one giant party. Yes,
Speaker 1: and I mean ours. I think our ceremony or our
Speaker 1: vow exchange would be second fiddle to theirs, which is
Speaker 1: of a shame. Yeah, but I'll give it to him
Speaker 1: because they got the shoey thing going on, and you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're fun. I think corney all to be both choice.
Speaker 1: That's a good choice Leslie. Of course, as a travel blogger,
Speaker 1: Julia wants to know if you can go anywhere in
Speaker 1: the world with Leslie, where would you go and what
Speaker 1: would y'all do? I would want to go to Antarticle
Speaker 1: with Leslie because I know she's been dying to get there.
Speaker 1: Have been. Yeah, it's number one on my bucket list. Um,
Speaker 1: I just think it's so unique and I've been to
Speaker 1: all other six continents, so this is my last one,
Speaker 1: and um, I think it's becoming more more popular to
Speaker 1: go there, so I want to get there, you know,
Speaker 1: before it becomes like the next Bolly of the world.
Speaker 1: What is there? Penguins? But that's all you need to
Speaker 1: know when you're there on a boat. Usually there's no hotels.
Speaker 1: I mean, there are scientists there, you know, and they're
Speaker 1: saying they're standing somewhere on the ice. But they just
Speaker 1: started instituting commercial flights to and from Antarctica to I
Speaker 1: think they're I think I want to say those are
Speaker 1: like day trips, right, They're like day trips you just
Speaker 1: fly from maybe Argentina. Yeah, but you could fly and
Speaker 1: probably set up. I mean there's probably places you can sleep.
Speaker 1: You can even bring your own like thermal camping equipment. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we could do that. But I think for the most
Speaker 1: most part, they've got um ships that go down and
Speaker 1: so they're they're cruises. But I hate the word cruise
Speaker 1: because I'm not a big fan. That's not how I
Speaker 1: like to travel. But this is different. I mean, these
Speaker 1: are like ex expeditions. If we've been everywhere, you've all
Speaker 1: six continents, what's a place that no one would think
Speaker 1: would be a great place to go? Because everyone goes
Speaker 1: to the same place as they go to Cabo, they
Speaker 1: go to Hawaii. Where's the place that they should go
Speaker 1: that they would never have thought of. Let's know what
Speaker 1: you're gonna say. You're gonna say Patagonia or somewhere in
Speaker 1: South America, But I mean I don't. Yeah, I think that.
Speaker 1: I think the whole continent of South America has been
Speaker 1: left undiscovered and it's a little bit more undeveloped than
Speaker 1: I think, um, like Europe or North America or Southeast
Speaker 1: Asia even so, um, I mean, yeah, my favorite place
Speaker 1: on the planet's Patagonia, and it's just so vast and
Speaker 1: so um unpopulated that you know you're never going to
Speaker 1: run into if you want to be alone in the world.
Speaker 1: Like Dean, who's this big introvert over here, I think
Speaker 1: Patagonia is your place because I never knew I liked
Speaker 1: the mountain so much. It's the prettiest view I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: But um, I also hate that I'm saying this again
Speaker 1: and again because I don't I don't want the masses
Speaker 1: to go down. Yeah. I think if you do talk
Speaker 1: to people that are interested in traveling, you hear a
Speaker 1: lot of Europe. You hear a lot of Southeast Asia.
Speaker 1: I don't really hear much of South America. No, and
Speaker 1: and and people need to go there because it's pretty amazing.
Speaker 1: It's that too. It's that too. But yeah, it's also
Speaker 1: a region of the world and my favorite one at that.
Speaker 1: All right, next question, uh more questions about the podcast
Speaker 1: name We covered that a Leslie. How do you feel
Speaker 1: about Ari after seeing what went down in The Bachelor? Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm hi fa, I really like Ari. Uh. Let me
Speaker 1: take you back five years too, when I was on
Speaker 1: the show and Shan Low was my Bachelor, and it
Speaker 1: was kind of between Sean and Ari uh to be
Speaker 1: my bachelor, and I actually wanted Ari over Sean. It
Speaker 1: ended up working out great. I like Sean a lot,
Speaker 1: but um so it's interesting to see them bring are
Speaker 1: back from five years ago. Um And yeah, he had
Speaker 1: some questionable actions um this time around. But at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, you have to make yourself happy,
Speaker 1: and he can't fake being in love with somebody, and
Speaker 1: that's it's a shame that it ended the way it
Speaker 1: did with him proposing to Rebecca. Um And I think
Speaker 1: he just realized as time went on that he wasn't
Speaker 1: in love with her anymore. You know. We just talked
Speaker 1: a lot about what it's like to film the show
Speaker 1: and then get off the show, and they're kind of
Speaker 1: two different things. Um and so I think, you know,
Speaker 1: when filming wrapped and he had a month or two
Speaker 1: to really dig deep in this relationship with Becca, he
Speaker 1: realized that she wasn't his person and so he had
Speaker 1: to backtrack. And that's unfortunate, but you gotta do what
Speaker 1: you gotta do to make yourself happy at the end
Speaker 1: of the day. All right, Well, put this is a
Speaker 1: good one. This is from Megan. You're gonna to think
Speaker 1: about this. Indean, You're not gonna want to answer this,
Speaker 1: but I think you need to. Both of you need
Speaker 1: to answer this one because it is a good one.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go ahead and say it right now. Next, please,
Speaker 1: what's one thing you do Dean that annoys Leslie? And Leslie?
Speaker 1: What's one thing you do that it's actually a very
Speaker 1: appropriate question. Oh yeah, it really is. You want to
Speaker 1: do the background or what? Yeah? So you just spent
Speaker 1: a weekend in Aspen, and I guess I was over
Speaker 1: using the phrase that's annoying. And apparently a significant other
Speaker 1: does not appreciate when you call them out for doing things.
Speaker 1: It gives you a complex and it's unnecessary. Okay, but
Speaker 1: I for the record, I was saying I'm annoyed and
Speaker 1: not you're annoying. I was saying that I was I
Speaker 1: wasn't expressing it as an internal feeling and not an
Speaker 1: external influence. What do you do that annoys? Sorry? So
Speaker 1: that you can handle the other side. That's where my
Speaker 1: mind just went right away. What do I do that
Speaker 1: annoys Leslie? I mean, I think obviously a smnel list
Speaker 1: would be what don't I do that annoys leslie? Um?
Speaker 1: What do I do um to annoy me? You? You
Speaker 1: go to bed without alleviating an argument. Mm hmm, I
Speaker 1: went to bed one it without alleviating an argument. Sure,
Speaker 1: you said, I just need to sleep on it. Well,
Speaker 1: what do you think that does it to me? Think
Speaker 1: about that for a second. OK, you're making me go
Speaker 1: to bed just with so many questions. I just think
Speaker 1: that change starts from within and I can. I can
Speaker 1: change over the course of a great nap and wake
Speaker 1: up refreshed. This is interesting because I see both sides
Speaker 1: of this, because my wife likes to just go to
Speaker 1: sleep where I like to talk it out forever and
Speaker 1: ever and ever. But on the other side, once you sleep,
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem to matter as much anymore. Like the
Speaker 1: next day the sun's out. It's like, you know, sleep
Speaker 1: it off. Who cares? What was Why was that such
Speaker 1: a big deal about? I see where you going with that.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, it's like, okay, so you're
Speaker 1: we're basically just like putting a rug over that and
Speaker 1: not really facing it, and then it's going to snowball
Speaker 1: into something else and something else and something else. It's
Speaker 1: all about communication in the end, and that to me
Speaker 1: isn't the best way to communicate. Okay, but you we're
Speaker 1: obviously not going to get into this right now. But
Speaker 1: you've also done this too, where when something is clearly
Speaker 1: wrong and I ask you what's wrong and you just
Speaker 1: brush it aside, that's true. I'm not, Yeah, I I
Speaker 1: kind of. I'm a very positive, happy person and so
Speaker 1: when something goes wrong, I really just go to the
Speaker 1: pits of the earth, and um, don't do a good
Speaker 1: job of explaining why and explaining my emotions. I just
Speaker 1: kind of clam up. And yeah, I'll admit that's a
Speaker 1: that's a big flaw of mine. Anyways, back to the question,
Speaker 1: what do I do that annoys Leslie? But that's one
Speaker 1: going to bed. Also, him sleeping in this morning, was
Speaker 1: that a point of contention? He definitely likes his sleep,
Speaker 1: and I like my sleep too, but I like to
Speaker 1: get up if if I'm sleeping past seven thirty, I
Speaker 1: have a lot of anxiety. So you're a morning person.
Speaker 1: Dean may not be such a morning He's not a
Speaker 1: morning person at all. So maybe I'm changing that if
Speaker 1: I change it one minute at a time, that's okay, Tomorrow, Okay,
Speaker 1: so that's answered, right, Yes, I was. I wanted to
Speaker 1: have something more h more certain, but I guess that's okay.
Speaker 1: The huh I stopped that. Yeah, that what's great about
Speaker 1: Leslie is I get it's not that I get annoyed easily,
Speaker 1: but there are certain things like kind of like irritate
Speaker 1: me a little bit, and I'm like very vocal about
Speaker 1: those things, and for better or for worse, obviously, I
Speaker 1: like to at least be honest with my opinions. And
Speaker 1: what's great about Leslie is she takes all of those
Speaker 1: to heart in the best way possible, and she makes
Speaker 1: sure that she works on the things that are like
Speaker 1: small little things like um, you know, like certain little
Speaker 1: like mannerisms that are just not super I don't know,
Speaker 1: like like I would never notice, but you know that right,
Speaker 1: And they're not like super pivotal to your character and
Speaker 1: think that they're just like little things like reactionary things
Speaker 1: like that, that type of stuff that for some weird
Speaker 1: reach day. And again that's what I'm talking about, Like
Speaker 1: I get annoyed at myself for getting annoyed at certain things,
Speaker 1: not just so the change comes from within, I guess,
Speaker 1: not just with Leslie but with everyone, Like sometimes I
Speaker 1: like see myself getting annoyed like a bird chirping or something.
Speaker 1: Why am I getting annoyed at this? I shouldn't be
Speaker 1: doing that. Um. So it's good with Leslie. She's very
Speaker 1: willing to work on those little things because it obviously
Speaker 1: improves a relationship, I think greatly. But so you haven't
Speaker 1: really answered the question what about you? Do you think,
Speaker 1: Annised Dean? I think, um, I think I think I
Speaker 1: just said one, but I changed it. I mean it
Speaker 1: was just the little nuances that how I would respond
Speaker 1: to things, and you didn't like that I changed that.
Speaker 1: Um m hmm. There's gotta be a lot of things
Speaker 1: you want. Do you want to answer this question? For me?
Speaker 1: That's not the question, that's not the exercise point of exercise.
Speaker 1: You just don't want to. You just don't want to
Speaker 1: get in trouble. All right, let's move on. Tests has
Speaker 1: a question that I don't think it's necessarily a three
Speaker 1: months into a relationship, you're not ready to talk about
Speaker 1: marriage and kids. So I'm just gonna kind of rephrase it,
Speaker 1: like how many kids would each of you like to have?
Speaker 1: Is there a compatibility there? Um? I would like to
Speaker 1: have two kids of my own, and I would like
Speaker 1: to adopt two kids in an ideal situation, which I
Speaker 1: didn't understand. It's never ideal, but if I had in
Speaker 1: my way, that's how it would you go. Mine's not
Speaker 1: too different. I think four is a lot. I have
Speaker 1: always wanted three because I grew up with two sisters.
Speaker 1: There were three of us total. Um, I want to
Speaker 1: adopt as well. And whether that's one of my own
Speaker 1: and two adoptions or two of my own and one adoption,
Speaker 1: I would go either way. It sounds like you're on
Speaker 1: a very similar page there. Uh. Megan would like to
Speaker 1: know if Chris Harrison is as cool as he seems. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: I spend a lot of time with him. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say no because he's cooler than because because especially when
Speaker 1: you see it on the show, you always see him
Speaker 1: in work mode where he's you know, talking to the
Speaker 1: batchelor the Bachelor at or he's talking about the format
Speaker 1: of whatever the stupid thing that they have planned is
Speaker 1: going on. But behind the scenes, behind closed doors, he's
Speaker 1: like a regular guy that likes to just like hang
Speaker 1: out with people that he likes, like he loves Ben Higgins,
Speaker 1: and like there they interact like and I don't know,
Speaker 1: they just he he's a very normal guy. But also
Speaker 1: when he's on, he's on. When you strike up a
Speaker 1: conversation with him, he is witty as can be. So
Speaker 1: you've gotta you've gotta be ready for got on your tosta.
Speaker 1: He's great. All right, Let's say I think I can
Speaker 1: do one more here. How do you guys make the
Speaker 1: long distance work? This is from miss and will Leslie
Speaker 1: move to l A. How do we make long distance work?
Speaker 1: What's funny is when Leslie and I first started dating
Speaker 1: each other, she made this comment about something that she
Speaker 1: looks for a guy she and wants to be in
Speaker 1: a relationship with. She says, I want a guy with
Speaker 1: a stable job, a home, and some roots. And I
Speaker 1: looked at it. I was like, I quit my job
Speaker 1: a year ago, I rent a home with three of
Speaker 1: my friends, and I don't have any roots anywhere. So
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but that's three strikes and the three swings in.
Speaker 1: He's still not out. Three strikes and you're not out,
Speaker 1: So you've got to be doing something right. And to
Speaker 1: the question how we make long distance work? Is because
Speaker 1: I don't have a nine to five office job at
Speaker 1: the moment, I don't have the roots that I need
Speaker 1: to be attached at all times. I e. Family, whatever
Speaker 1: it is. It allows me the ability to travel on
Speaker 1: a whim, just like she does, which allows us to
Speaker 1: spend more time together than apart. Yeah, and I think,
Speaker 1: you know, I think you get to know somebody better
Speaker 1: when you travel with him. Um. And so I'll say
Speaker 1: I feel like I've said this already. But we've only
Speaker 1: been together three months. But I feel like I've known
Speaker 1: him for longer than that because we have done so
Speaker 1: much together, whether that be scuba diving or jumping out
Speaker 1: of planes or having a ton of dinners together where
Speaker 1: we just talk and talk and talk. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I feel like we've done a lot, lots and lots
Speaker 1: of stuff. I've farted in front of Leslie for the
Speaker 1: first time. That was a while back. I feel like
Speaker 1: it was actually, I mean fine, Like I don't eet
Speaker 1: grossed out easily. I don't get uncomfortable very easily. Now
Speaker 1: if it was directed at him, you get uncomfortable pretty easily.
Speaker 1: I don't like farting parts I don't like. But not
Speaker 1: only that, but my request for Leslie is if she
Speaker 1: has to fart. That is so sexist, right sexist? It's
Speaker 1: not sexist. If I was dating a guy, I would
Speaker 1: not want to are in front of me either. I
Speaker 1: just that's not that. That is not a fair balance. Rip.
Speaker 1: You don't do it very often. I don't. It doesn't
Speaker 1: bother me. Sometimes I need to bring like a comedic
Speaker 1: light to the situation. So I'll just let a little
Speaker 1: fart fly lit a little squeak if you're if you're
Speaker 1: in a serious situation, I don't think that's going to
Speaker 1: go over very well. It's only happened once I think
Speaker 1: up till now. But all right, well, let me ask
Speaker 1: you this in a related question, what's the bathroom door policy? Closed?
Speaker 1: Both closed? I make her leave, Okay, to that point,
Speaker 1: if I do have to go number two, I make
Speaker 1: her leave the room entirely. He does. He does do that,
Speaker 1: which I'm totally fine with. Sometimes if we're in a
Speaker 1: hotel room, I'll be like, hey, can you put on
Speaker 1: the deck for like five or time minutes. He's asked
Speaker 1: that quite a few times. We've been in quite a
Speaker 1: few hotels together so far, and some of these strips,
Speaker 1: like Hondurious, a lot of those b ms were not solid,
Speaker 1: really out there. The best stuff comes at the end
Speaker 1: of the show. But I'm I, well, I wouldn't do
Speaker 1: that in front of you anyway, But I feel like
Speaker 1: I'm much more like open than you are. I sleep naked,
Speaker 1: I will pee in front of you, like it's not
Speaker 1: a big deal to me. I just there. I'm very
Speaker 1: open and person like that as well. But there are
Speaker 1: just certain things that I don't Number one in front
Speaker 1: of her is not okay either. He's done one time,
Speaker 1: maybe twice. I don't. I don't like to be in
Speaker 1: the same room as her while she's doing that stuff.
Speaker 1: I'm weird. I don't know, I'm really weird. I know
Speaker 1: that I'm weird. Let's put it out there. I'm weird. Okay, No,
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think that's different from a
Speaker 1: person and have to do with your upbringing or whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's fine. I respect it, and that's all I can
Speaker 1: ask for you. It's free to respect it, which sometimes
Speaker 1: you do and sometimes you don't. Well, sometimes I have
Speaker 1: to pee and you're there, so it's going to happen,
Speaker 1: all right. Well, that that'll just about wrap up the
Speaker 1: ask Dean and Leslie anything episode Oh so bad, wasn't it?
Speaker 1: You were kind of dreading that. I wasn't dreading it
Speaker 1: by any means. You were a little worried about what
Speaker 1: people might ask. Well, there are certain things that I
Speaker 1: think are better left between the two of us, between
Speaker 1: the two of us, So that one, okay, didn't it?
Speaker 1: It was great that it was really fun. It was great.
Speaker 1: I love having Leslie in studio here. She really just
Speaker 1: exudes an air of confidence. She's got those big, beautiful
Speaker 1: meatball eyes for me to gaze at whenever. All right.
Speaker 1: He said that to me on Winter Games, and I
Speaker 1: was just like, what, Thank you so much for listening
