Speaker 1: talk to you about. Now. I'm gonna get like my

16
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: weird motivational like speaker hat on, which I'm not good at,

17
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: but I was watching something to it. This one might

18
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 1: make sense. So if if it doesn't make sense, we

19
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 1: just laugh at me. Because I'm sitting at I'm back

20
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: in Indiana. I came to Indiana this weekend with Jessica

21
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: She's now back in Denver to work for a few

22
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: days before she comes back uh for the fourth of July.

23
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: But I came here for my cousin Charles wedding. He

24
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: got married to the love of his life. They've been

25
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,839
Speaker 1: dating for years. It was a beautiful ceremony in Indianapolis, Indiana. Uh.

26
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: Just an incredible wedding where I realized I cried multiple times,

27
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: mostly because the father daughter dance, which I credit your

28
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: father daughter dance. Also. Um, they get me. I don't

29
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: know what it is, but those things really get me. Um,

30
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: wait till November. But I'm sitting on the lake today

31
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,559
Speaker 1: doing this podcast, and there is a my parents really

32
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: don't like it when geese get in their yard. It's

33
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: something that they like despise because the geese poop everywhere

34
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: they eat, you know, the grass up. And so they

35
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: put these like streamers. It's like a very thin piece

36
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: of rope around the sea wall. It's like so thin

37
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: you can like if you can barely see it's like,

38
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: but it's like colorful, and they put it around the

39
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 1: whole sea wall. Uh. And they decorated like red, red, white,

40
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: and blue. I think, yeah, Um, but the geese I'm

41
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: watching the geese like try to come up, and they

42
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: like come up to the edge and all they have

43
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: to do is step over it, and they would have

44
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: this whole yard in front of them and they would

45
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: have like access to everything that my parents are keeping

46
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: them out of. But yet they get up to it

47
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: and they just get scared, like they don't step over it.

48
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: They could, they're they're they're tall enough. It's just one string,

49
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: and they just decided to stay on the other side.

50
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: And as I was talking to Trista today and maybe

51
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: somebody out there can hear this, I'm wondering in my

52
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: own life and on all of our lives, like what

53
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: is that thing that and that's standing in front of

54
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: us that like we just won't step through because like

55
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 1: we feel like it's thing, or we feel like it's impossible,

56
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: we feel like it's scary. And if we did it,

57
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: like maybe just maybe there's this whole new thing on

58
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: the other side. Um, and maybe it's just like a

59
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: little streamer that might not be fun to step over,

60
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: Like it might take a little bit more work. Uh,

61
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: it might be a little more difficult, but when we

62
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: do it, we're gonna realize it was it was worth it. Um.

63
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 1: So anyways, that's on my mind right now, is the internal.

64
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think that's silly at all. I

65
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: think that's actually like a really great thing to think about. Yeah,

66
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: I can't think about what that thing would be for me,

67
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: but I'm sure there's something, and I'm sure almost everybody

68
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: has something. It's just interesting. Yeah, So anyways, that's my uh.

69
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: The other day on the podcast, I was asked, like,

70
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: what's my philosophy on life? So right now, step over

71
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: the streamer and with that, we're here at the Almost

72
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: Same As podcast super Pumped to talk to you all.

73
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: And yes, Trista Center is coming on the Original Bachelorette,

74
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: the possibly the greatest of all time. Would be hard

75
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: to argue that she's not considering she started this whole

76
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: thing out, also one of the catalyst and lead years

77
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: to the thing that we found out about that I

78
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: think is still supposed to be a secret, but we're

79
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: not going to allow it to be. On the Almost

Speaker 1: And uh she is now only um surviving grandparents, which

93
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: is super weird to say because for years of my

94
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: life I kind of had like the lucky one where

95
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: I was like I had all four Um, um, my

96
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: grandmother just turned by one surviving grandmother who has been

97
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: for a while now, uh just turned this week. Holy moly. Yeah,

98
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: so that's why I was young. Yeah. Well, um, she

99
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: she got the dance with all of her grand sons.

100
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: So there's the three of us that were there. Uh,

101
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 1: and she danced with my the one that was getting

102
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: married to a sweet song that was her He played

103
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: it because it was my grandmother and my grandfather's song

104
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 1: when they were married. My grandfather had written her a

105
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: letter back in the day moon River, which has been

106
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: covered by uh Frank Ocean recently. Um, but it used

107
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: to be singing by Andy Williams way back in the day.

108
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: And she so he knew that and he played it

109
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 1: because my grandfather had written her letter and said, hey, uh,

110
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: if you haven't heard moon River yet, I want you

111
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: to listen to it because that's a song about us.

112
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: And so she bought the record. And now since he's

113
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: passed away due to Parkinson's, um my cousin got to

114
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: dance with her two at his wedding, which is just

115
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: so special. And then my other cousin grabbed her for

116
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 1: a slow dance. Well at that point I wasn't really

117
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: paying attention. She comes up to me, she goes, I've

118
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: danced with all my grandsons except you, And I was like, Grandma,

119
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: we need to dance together. Then I said, let's dance

120
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: to the next song. So we get on the dance

121
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 1: floor when she puts her arms around my neck like

122
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: you know, like you just the sweetest thing, and we're dancing.

123
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: We're getting ready for the song to play. Guess what

124
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: song comes on like something totally inappropriate, wobble wobble, like

125
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 1: a wobble, you know that, like wabble song, and she

126
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: lets lose, her arms start flailing, her knees start going

127
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: back and forth, and all of a sudden, she hugs

128
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: me and she goes, I can't dance this fast for

129
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: too long. So that was our dance at the wedding.

130
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 1: But if there's a video of that out there, and

131
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: I know my name whose son got married, listen to

132
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 1: this podcast. So she has a video of us dancing

133
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: the wobble that she finds, please send it along because

134
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: that is a memory worth keeping forever. Well anyways, hey, uh,

142
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,080

Speaker 1: at the positive and there there is definitely it's definitely

155
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: a good thing to have answers. So I'm very thankful

156
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: that we have answers because not knowing is so so

157
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: so difficult, and through the process and kind of sharing

158
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: that he was going through something, so many people have

159
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: reached out to us and are in the exact same situation.

160
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: They have no idea what's going on with them a

161
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: loved one, you know, a friend, whatever, And it is

162
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: it honestly is a pandemic in this country. In my mind,

163
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: it's a huge pandemic that so many people don't know

164
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: what's going on and then to get a diagnosis like

165
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: lime and mold and eb V and and possibly covid

166
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: longhauler that diagnosis, those answers actually come with so many

167
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: more questions that even though we've found out part of it,

168
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: and yes, I am thankful and grateful for that, it's

169
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: it's actually difficult. I mean, he's not feeling great today, UM,

170
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: and he has his up days and down days. But

171
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: lime is so like out there still Western medicine doesn't

172
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: fully buy into it, I feel like, and there We've

173
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: talked to some people who have experienced it for years

174
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: and years and years, and there are so many different

175
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: treatments for it, and not everyone has the same success

176
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: with one certain treatment, so the treatments are different. It's

177
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 1: very um unique to every person how you find relief

178
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,839
Speaker 1: from this, UM And yes it will be a lifetime

179
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: diagnosis that he'll have to UM deal with, but it

180
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: is it is difficult, and that there's not like one

181
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: medication that he can take. There's not surgery that he

182
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: can do. UM. So that's hard. I thank you for asking, UM.

183
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: It's it's been it's been hard UM to see him

184
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: struggle because he is such a strong human in general, um,

185
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: but he doesn't share that with everyone. And uh so

186
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: it's it's just hard to see the person that you

187
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: love most in the world on my crap. He Uh

188
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: we were, Tristan, I were able to talk, and actually

189
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: we've talked about in the podcast before because we thought

190
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: it was important. But you know, my best friend in Denver,

191
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: uh was diagnosed with lime seven months ago. My aunt

192
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: was diagnosed with lime two years ago. I have a

193
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: friend from my church that is now bedridden because of lime.

194
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: My aunt is still struggling with it. In fact, she

195
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: could really not have even a full glass of wine

196
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: and her son's wedding because it causes a flare up.

197
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 1: And then which is you know, a sigh, A small thing,

198
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: but a huge thing when you think about that controlling

199
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: your life. And then my my best friend, he's thirty

200
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: six years old, he's a incredibly healthy guy. He's lost

201
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: thirty pounds. He can no longer get a clear sentence spoken.

202
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 1: It sounds like he um, he can't process his words.

203
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 1: And his fiancee has openly reached out and I don't

204
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: think she'd mind me sharing this, but she said, I'm

205
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: really struggling because we don't know when this ends. We

206
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: don't know where this goes. Uh, and he's withering away,

207
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: and and so I think it's a great thing to

208
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,839
Speaker 1: talk about because especially with Ryan. I mean I remember

209
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: when I first met Ryan Trista. I came to you

210
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: guys house in Vale, invited uh a group of us over,

211
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: and we came up and were hanging out, and Ryan

212
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: was getting ready for the time to run like a

213
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: bazillion miles up a mountain. I forget what it was.

214
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: It was like the stupidest amount. Yeah, it was a

215
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,599
Speaker 1: hundred mile run up a mountain, down a mountain, and

216
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: around a mountain and then back up. It was the

217
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: most ridiculous thing. And then, um, you know he's a professional,

218
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: former professional football player, he's a fireman. And I mean

219
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: this is debilitating at times, like it can crush the

220
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: best of us. Yeah, yeah, it sucks. I mean, um,

221
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: we've talked about you know, your friend, and I do

222
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: I feel grateful that he is among kind of one

223
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: of the lucky ones with limeseas in that he hasn't

224
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: lost the ability to speak, he hasn't lost the ability

225
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 1: to walk, he hasn't lost the ability to use his arms.

226
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: I mean, we have a friend, Um, one of my

227
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: close friends here who got bit by by a tick

228
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: or or it actually can be transmitted by a spider

229
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: as well. UM, and she got bit. She saw the

230
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,719
Speaker 1: target rash and immediately UM like they were on it,

231
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: called the doctor got her on antibiotics. But when she

232
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: first felt or saw the rash, UM, she remembers holding

233
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: her daughter, who I think was like a year old

234
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: at the time, and and all of a sudden she

235
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: was like, you have to take the baby, like to

236
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 1: her husband, and he took her daughter, and like immediately

237
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: her arms stopped working, like she couldn't use her arms.

238
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: So I feel lucky in the fact that he it's

239
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 1: it's in certain parts of his body. We know that

240
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: probably in his ankle, like he's got a bad knee.

241
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: It's probably residing in those but I don't know. I mean,

242
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 1: he has fog occasionally and the the fatigue is unbearable

243
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 1: sometimes for him. But I do, truly do. I do

244
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: feel lucky that it's not as severe as some people

245
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: that we're hearing. And and also that you know, people

246
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: who have been to looking for a diagnosis for fourteen ten,

247
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: fourteen years, you know, like it took us a year,

248
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: which was a long time and it's still is something

249
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: that he's he's dealing with. You know, once we figured

250
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: it out, it wasn't like it automatically went away, because

251
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: like I said, it's not like you just you take

252
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: one med um and it's gone. So anyway, Yeah, I

253
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: have a couple of questions, Um, okay, So they of

254
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: course usually come from tick bites. Does he remember ever

255
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: having the bite? So what our doctor, his doctor thinks happened,

256
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: was this happened a really long time ago or a

257
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: long time ago. So as you guys know, we live

258
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: in Colorado, he does, I mean his religions, as he said,

259
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: is the outdoors. He's always outdoors. He's always mountain biking.

260
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: We camp a lot, um, he goes um backpacking with

261
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: the kids a lot. And he does remember a couple

262
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: instances in his life being bitten by a tick. So

263
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: it's happened before. But like I said, the doctor has said,

264
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: and I don't know that this is like common knowledge.

265
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: I mean I didn't know it. Um, but you can

266
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: get infected by a spider as well. And we live

267
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: in even though there are some doctors who don't think

268
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: that the ticks in Colorado carry line disease. Um, we

269
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: have deer roaming our neighborhood. I mean they're they're always

270
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: in our backyard and they carry the ticks. So I

271
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: don't know how you can say that, you know, oh,

272
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: well ticks aren't in Colorado, Like what does it cut

273
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: off right at the state line? You know, it doesn't

274
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: make any sense to me, So yes, answer to answer

275
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: your question. He has been bitten before, but never seem

276
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: like there's a target rash or bulls eye rash that

277
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: appears um with lime disease. So if you're one of

278
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: the lucky ones and you actually see that bulls eye

279
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: rash like our friend, like I just said, that's a

280
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: good thing because then you can immediately go and get antibiotics.

281
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: But for him, we don't know when that that happened.

282
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: Isn't it weird that like we go out in the

283
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: summer and we put bugs bray on to not get

284
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: mosquito bites, but we don't think about like ticks bray

285
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: or anything like that, and that we can really cause lifelong.

286
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: I know, it's really interesting and I really hope there

287
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: have been quite a few, uh pretty prominent names like

288
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: Justin Bieber, Alec Baldwin who have recently come out and

289
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: said that they have lime disease as well. And so

290
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: the hope is and we want to do anything we

291
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: can to spread the word about it that it it

292
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: is a true illness, you know, it's not something that

293
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 1: Western medicine can just brush under the rug. It is

294
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: something that people struggle with daily in this country, in

295
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 1: this world, and so we want to be able to

296
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: spread the word. But yeah, you're right, maybe hopefully soon, UM.

297
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: I know that it's all about research, and so we're

298
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: our hope is that we can get involved UM in

299
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 1: that way to help raise funds for research so that

300
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 1: more people can find UM really from their symptoms. Well, Trista, UM,

301
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 1: thank you for sharing all this, and I hope that

302
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 1: when you do find the avenues to donate and that

303
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: we can support that the whole almost Famous Listener group

304
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: would love to get behind you. UM. But there's always

305
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: something within this and then I'm learning a lot more

306
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 1: recently when a spouse or of loved one is going

307
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: through this, we focus on them, UM, But we're here

308
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: to focus on you today and the question is how

309
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 1: are you doing and how are you holding up? You

310
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: are awesome for asking that question. Um. When we found

311
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: out that he had lime, we were talking to a

312
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 1: friend who has a wife with lime, and he mentioned,

313
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 1: you know how it's always about her and she's been

314
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 1: struggling with it for a long time, and and we

315
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: so we work with an organization called First Assance. They

316
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:31,959
Speaker 1: do UM outdoor adventure therapy for young adults with cancer,

317
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: and they actually started doing camps for UM, the caretakers

318
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: for the people who have cancer, and and I always

319
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: loved that. I loved that they that they focus their

320
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 1: energies as well on the people who UM who struggle.

321
00:18:52,040 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: I I it's been hard, UM, sorry, UM, And not

322
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: because I want any attention on me, because I want

323
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: him to be better. I want him to wake up

324
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: feeling great. I want him to be able to UM

325
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 1: spend time with our family and and make memories. And

326
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: when you don't feel good, it just takes away from life,

327
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 1: you know. And and so I'm not doing great and

328
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 1: not just about him. You know. We talked a lot

329
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: about it on my podcast. Been UM. I I've been

330
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 1: struggling for sure, and I don't know if it was

331
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: if it's been covid or UM all that Ryan has

332
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: been dealing with and dealing with insurance companies and doctors

333
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: and and then just life and trying to be happy

334
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 1: for my kids, you know, twelve and thirteen, and they're

335
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: relatively independent, but I want them to have a great

336
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: summer and for them to have a great school year,

337
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: so my focus has to be on them. Um, but

338
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: it's been a really weird year, you know, I know,

339
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 1: for pretty much the whole planet. But um, it's it's

340
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: it's been hard. Um. Sorry, thank you for being so vulnerable.

341
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: The podcast episode, and now's a great time to talk

342
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: about it. I don't know when it's gonna come out, Tristy,

343
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 1: you know better in April. It will come out next

344
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: week actually Tuesday, So Tuesday, yeah, yeah, So Tris and

345
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 1: I got to talk a lot about where we're at

346
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: in life, and actually knows a lot about where I'm

347
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: at in life. Actually I were able to speak just

348
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 1: through the phone, I don't know, two weeks ago kind

349
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:55,360
Speaker 1: of about um, my transitions in life and things I'm

350
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 1: experiencing and feeling. And then it was you know, trist

351
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: had reached out, uh maybe a month ago and said, hey,

352
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 1: would you want to come on my podcast? And I

353
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 1: said yeah, let's do it, and then it finally just

354
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: worked out where this week was the week that we

355
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: were able to make it happen. And it was in

356
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: my opinion as I sat here for the last hour

357
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 1: since we recorded it, it was an incredible time because

358
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: you and I were able to just speak to each

359
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 1: other from a place of both just right now like

360
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: disorientation and confusion and a little um feel a little

361
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: sad and uh and and so I just recommend anybody

362
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: listening to it that just wants to maybe feel like

363
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: they're less alone, um during this season. So yeah, please

364
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: go listen to Trist's podcast next Tuesday. They'll be out

365
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: everywhere you listen to podcast and trust in. One little

366
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 1: moment of light is that Ryan did graduate from the

367
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 1: Fire Academy this week. Yeah, did well, it's actually it happened,

368
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: I want to say, in April. It's been a while,

369
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 1: but as of COVID, they weren't able to you know,

370
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 1: really celebrate it, so so they waited. But it was

371
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: still great to have a really a formal ceremony. They

372
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: got dressed up in their class a's as they're called,

373
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 1: um and they had the chief of the department speaking

374
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: and it was just really special. I mean, I love

375
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 1: a celebration. I'm all about birthdays and anniversaries and and

376
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: I I'm so happy that we finally got to celebrate

377
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: him in his class. I mean, obviously he's been a

378
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 1: firefighter for he was a firefighter for seventeen years with

379
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: BAIL and then took a year break and then went

380
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: back to BAIL and then got the chance to go

381
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,719
Speaker 1: UM work with the Denver Fire Department, and he just

382
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 1: wanted more of a challenge. UM, And I'm really really

383
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: proud of him. So how does that work? You have

384
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: to get like re licensed and go through the courses

385
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: all over again. If you're going to a new city.

386
00:22:55,440 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: It depends on where you're going. So for him, he

387
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: just missed a ladder, a lateral transfer, which would have

388
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: meant like he was a lieutenant with the Veil Fire Department.

389
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 1: He just missed it by I think like a month,

390
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: so he could have laterally transferred and then a lieutenant

391
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: with the Denver Fire Department, But because of timing UM

392
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 1: and his certifications, he had to start over. So he

393
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: was basically in an academy with twenty thirty year olds. UM.

394
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: There were a couple older people. But one big reason

395
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 1: that I'm really proud of him is he finished second

396
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 1: in his class, which he's forty six years old, and

397
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: it it is really grueling. I talked to somebody who

398
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: said that the Denver Fire Department is um like harder

399
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: than the FBI or something like something crazy like that.

400
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: And I believe it because of, you know, the things

401
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: that he told me while he was going through it.

402
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, he had to start over again, but he

403
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 1: was willing to do that just because he he wanted

404
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 1: more challenge. He wants to continuously, um, improve and better

405
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: himself and that happens through challenge. And so anyway, we're

406
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: really proud of him. So and I'm gonna miss this.

407
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 1: Are you guys moving? Yeah, I know you are going

408
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: to live in the same town. Yeah. So, UM, well,

409
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 1: now is kind of an exception. Um, he is battling

410
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 1: an injury on his ankle that happened at the department. Um.

411
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 1: But before he was battling this injury. So now he's

412
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,919
Speaker 1: on light duty, which means that he's working um in

413
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 1: Denver during the week, which is hard to because I'm

414
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 1: like a single parent again. Um, but if if it

415
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: was like a month ago, he would be working at

416
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: one of the stations in Denver and he works out

417
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: a trade situation with one of the guys there, so

418
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 1: he ends up only working like seven days of month,

419
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 1: which is great. I mean they're twenty four hour days.

420
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: But Tris, so we'd love to have you in Denver.

421
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: Then verse calling your name. I mean, I'm not gonna lie.

422
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 1: We've been looking at houses, so I hear, I hear,

423
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 1: Golden is a terrific place, and there's free babysitting available

424
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 1: and Golden it's this really weird versa. So when the

425
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: babies come for you and then I'll have the babysitters

426
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,919
Speaker 1: for you. Say at twelve and thirteen, do you have

427
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 1: babysitters anymore? It's like that weird time. Yeah. I mean,

428
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: like I think we started staying home alone around twelve

429
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: for parents, I think around ten or eleven we started

430
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,239
Speaker 1: it just like short periods of time. But now they

431
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: can stay home alone and they're good. I mean they're

432
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: just like good kids, like you know, they're they're good kids. Well, uh, Trista,

433
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 1: before we dive into breaking down um this week's episode, Um,

434
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 1: what big projects do you have going on in your

435
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 1: life that you want to talk about here, I would

436
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: love for you to give one more shout out about

437
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,640
Speaker 1: your podcast, because I do think it is something special.

438
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: Thank you. Um. Well, obviously the podcast is called Better etcetera.

439
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 1: And I wanted to do something you know, good, UM,

440
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: put out some positive energy into the world and also

441
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,360
Speaker 1: into my life because of course, while I'm doing the interviews,

442
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: I get to learn lots and lots from my guests,

443
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: so Better etcetera. It's been really fun. As I shared

444
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 1: with Ben, I'm I don't know if this first season

445
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: is going to continue into a second. I'm going to

446
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: take the rest of the summer. After next week, I'm

447
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,439
Speaker 1: going to actually interview Ryan for a little update on

448
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: his health, UM, and that will be in two weeks

449
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 1: on the podcast. So after that, I'm going to take

450
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: a little break. That will be the end of the

451
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 1: first season, and then, UM, I'm gonna just have a

452
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 1: little come to Jesus and see if if it's something

453
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 1: that I really want to dedicate my time to be.

454
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: As I know you guys know, it's a lot of work, UM,

455
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 1: and I just need to really figure out if I

456
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: want to continue it. I really have loved it and

457
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 1: I hope that people who listen have loved it, but um,

458
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: we'll see um. And that's really all I mean. I'm

459
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: on Instagram at Trista Center and I have oh like you, Ashley.

460
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if you do them then, but I've

461
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: been doing the Amazon live streams, which I'm loving. They're

462
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: so fun. I love. I mean, I am an Amazon

463
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 1: freak because when you live where I live, you don't

464
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 1: have like a Target or a Macy's or whatever to

465
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 1: go to. You have Amazon. So I literally we buy

466
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 1: everything on Amazon. So I've been doing you know, the

467
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 1: live streams, so I have a storefront on Amazon. Is

468
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: there a a theme that you like talking about the most?

469
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: Do you know? I haven't done that many. The first

470
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,199
Speaker 1: one I did was for Father's Day and that is

471
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: awesome of course. Um, I'm doing a beauty like skincare.

472
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: I get lots of questions, as I know you do too,

473
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: um your highs and lows with skincare, Ashley, but so

474
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:20,239
Speaker 1: but beauty and skincare, and then like kids gifts, like

475
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: I always want to know what to get different ages

476
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 1: and between age is where I'm at with Blakesley especially

477
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 1: and Max. So I'm really enjoying just kind of researching

478
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 1: all of that stuff and giving people tips on you know,

479
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: what they can get for these different categories. I'm all

480
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: about organizations, so the organization part of it really is

481
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 1: fun for me, like just on the storefront itself. Yeah,

482
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: but yeah, it's been really fun. So tween gifts are hard,

483
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: right because it's so easier to shop for kids, but

484
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: then they get to be that age and you're like,

485
00:28:56,200 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: what are they into anymore? Laying with things? I know?

486
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: And I give gift gift cards to everybody because I

487
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: don't know and I don't want to get something that

488
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: they already have. So UM, this has been really fun

489
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 1: because I can kind of organize and research on Amazon

490
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: what you know, because they always do the like people

491
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: by this with this, you know, the recommended purchases you

492
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: know with UM. So that's been it's it's that's a

493
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: really fun little UM project for me. Trista, You're somebody special.

512
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: let's start with one of Ben's questions. Have you spoken

513
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: to Katie outside of the Bachelor at group chat? I

514
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: was just gonna say that was gonna be my go to. UM, So, yes,

515
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 1: we have our Bachelor at group chat, and yes, you know,

516
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: as a group we've talked to each other, which I love.

517
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: By the way, Um, part of my struggle is kind

518
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: of feeling, uh, trying to deal with the fact that

519
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: I feel like an old, washed up bachelorette, so nobody

520
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: ever thinks about you that way. Oh you're I mean,

521
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 1: thank you. But um so the bachelotte group chext you know,

522
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: kind of gives me life and I love I love

523
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: being able to add the you know anybody knew who

524
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: comes along, which we do every time, and it will

525
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: be exciting to be able to add Michelle, isn't Michelle? Yeah? Yeah,

526
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: um coming here up here soon? Um? I did. I

527
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: d m her. We haven't talked after outside of all

528
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 1: of this and my d M s, but I d

529
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: m her when everything went down on the last season

530
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: of The Bachelor when she stood up for Sarah, and

531
00:31:55,920 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: I just felt like, thank you for putting yourself thought

532
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 1: there and standing up for the person that you felt

533
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: like was being treated unfairly. I just I thought that

534
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: was really awesome of her to do and and and

535
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: I like supporting, you know, those kind of people. Um,

536
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: but that's the only connection that I've had to her.

537
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: That's far. What's your overall vibe of this season? Ben?

538
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: And I really like it. I do too, I do too. Um.

539
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: I love that she's kind of like the girl next door, Um,

540
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: the uh real raw person who who ended up I

541
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 1: mean share the part where she shared about her sexual assault. Um.

542
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: I feel like so many people can relate to her,

543
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: including me, And that's why I'm really loving her. She's

544
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:58,239
Speaker 1: she's been incredibly You're right, like the girl next door

545
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: in the best of ways to like, she's she's like relatable.

546
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 1: You watch her and you're like, Okay, if my best

547
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: girlfriend who I know, goes on the show, like I

548
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: believe she would handle stuff this way. Um, she's and

549
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: she's allowing us into the relationships, like she's asking the

550
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: right questions. Um, she's digging in a bit with these guys,

551
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: which I think has allowed us to get to know

552
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: the guys better. She and I think that's also a

553
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: sign that she's ready for a relationship. Like for years,

554
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 1: you know, even on The Bachelor, we had like leads

555
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 1: who are like, you really ready for a relationship, Like

556
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: this is really something that you're into because you're not

557
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, Like you're not asking any questions and you're

558
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: not digging in, and you're not even like entering into

559
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: the hard stuff. You're just kind of like there and

560
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: with her, you're just kissing, and like with Katie, it's

561
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: like no, you you we can tell, but you're into this,

562
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: like this is this, You're committed this, which which I've enjoyed.

563
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: There's a there's a lot of substance, you know, there's

564
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: a lot of emotion and we're only four weeks in.

565
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: I will say that this episode is probably my least

566
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: favorite of the eisodes, but that's just because I felt

567
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: like there was so much unnecessarily unnecessary, overblown drama with Thomas.

568
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 1: But let's let's get to that after because I want

569
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: to go in chronological order, even though there's not much

570
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: besides the like finished the episode and I'm like, wait

571
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 1: a second, what happened? There was one group date and

572
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 1: then Thomas drama. There wasn't a one on one, there

573
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: wasn't a second group date. So group date real fun,

574
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: a continuation of like the theme that I think that

575
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 1: they've been doing such a good job with this season,

576
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: and that is group dates that tell us about the

577
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 1: guy's personality. It's like silly, you know, scat whatever you

578
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 1: wanna call a scavenger hunt or like truth or dare,

579
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 1: and they're they're just getting along really well, the guys

580
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: are like paired off, but to see them eat speak

581
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: little dirty nothings to that big ear with the speaker attached,

582
00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 1: it's just fun. We're getting to know them. Anything that

583
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: stood out to you there, because the only thing that's

584
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 1: standing out to me here is that, like I'm I'm

585
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 1: a little bizarred out as to why Andrew keeps speaking

586
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 1: in the British accent. It's like, it sounds great, it

587
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: sounds really good, but like I'm like, wait a second,

588
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:21,879
Speaker 1: is it real? Oh no, it's not real. And he's

589
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,319
Speaker 1: used it twice already in the scene. I literally did

590
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 1: the same thing. I was like, wait, who's that guy?

591
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 1: Is there another guy? Like? Is that a true or

592
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: is that another guy? And I'm forgetting about him? Um?

593
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:40,359
Speaker 1: I I thought it was. It's really fun. I love

594
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 1: the the depth of the conversations that have been in

595
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: the past, and you know, especially the in the scene

596
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: with Nick, the group date with Nick. Um, I really

597
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 1: loved the depth. I do like that this season. I

598
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: What stood out about this episode to me, even though

599
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: I don't think this spent well, they didn't spend a

600
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: lot of time on it, is Blake coming back and

601
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: and I really like him. I agree with you wholeheartedly

602
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: about the Thomas drama. I just it just drives me

603
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,720
Speaker 1: crazy when they focus on that kind of drama, because

604
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 1: I really do want to see the development of the

605
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 1: relationships over every over anything. I know that they have

606
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 1: to we all know this from being on the show.

607
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: They have to input the drama and continue to ride

608
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 1: that wave. But I just I just can't stand it

609
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 1: in some instances, and this is one of them. This

610
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 1: is one of them, because it just see, it's so forced.

611
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 1: There was no other drama apparently going on, so they

612
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: just really clung onto this. So it's so it gets

613
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: brought up again at the group date the cocktail party. Um,

614
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 1: and that was the argument between Trey and Andrew and

615
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: I honest I saw both sides of this. I wanted

616
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 1: to just be on Andrew's side. Andrew was like, you guys,

617
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:09,760
Speaker 1: like focus on your own relationship, let her figure everything out.

618
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 1: And then Trey was like, are you kidding? I have

619
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: to protect her from like bad people, And when he

620
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: said that, I was like, I was like yes, and no.

621
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,919
Speaker 1: I was like, I guess, but I but I want

622
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: to be fully on Andrew's side here. And then Trey

623
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: was like, what if she found out that you knew

624
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 1: and you didn't say anything? And I'm like, Andrew just

625
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 1: seems like the kind of person who's seen this show

626
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,839
Speaker 1: before and knows that tattling doesn't always go over well

627
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:42,439
Speaker 1: or doesn't benefit your own relationship. Um, but then look

628
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 1: at look at Trey got the rose for for talking

629
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 1: about it. Um. Katie seems to be a bachelorette that

630
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 1: really does appreciate being told about what's going on in

631
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: the house. But I think just we talked about this

632
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,399
Speaker 1: a lot last week. These guys like really think it's

633
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: Survivor or something and they can vote, they vote the

634
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 1: guy they don't like out every week, no kiding, Like

635
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,319
Speaker 1: where did that ever come from? And the whole like

636
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 1: game mentality with Carl and I'm just okay, I'm in

637
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:14,919
Speaker 1: the game or whatever. I'm like, No, Like, I get

638
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 1: it that people we have called it a game, you know,

639
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 1: over the years, but to me, it really isn't a game.

640
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: I want them to be able to, like, you know,

641
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 1: fight hard for love. But that really turned me off.

642
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: And I have to say, actually, I totally agree with you.

643
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,800
Speaker 1: I was drawn between both of them because I do

644
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 1: I do think that telling I've all whenever I watched

645
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: the show, I'm like, just tell her. But in the

646
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,879
Speaker 1: same regard, I think Andrew has a great point that

647
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: if you tell her, something's going to happen and time

648
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 1: is going to be taken away from us. And it

649
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: was like at the Rose ceremony, he was like, this

650
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: is exactly what I was worried about. I didn't want

651
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,280
Speaker 1: to miss out on time with her, and that's exactly

652
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 1: what's happening because of all this drama with Thomas. You

653
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: guys are right, like there's very little amount of strategy

654
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 1: involved in this show. Like you can't go into it

655
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:14,320
Speaker 1: going this is my strategy to win one that's manipulative.

656
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 1: It's weird, it's awkward, Like, yes, you can have strategy

657
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: and when you talk and what you say and don't

658
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 1: say and how you present, like that's fine, you know,

659
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: but ultimately, like if you're gonna win this thing based

660
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 1: on how you've planned to win it, that's messed up

661
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: from a lot of different reasons. I I want to

662
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: ask the question to the listeners in this moment because

663
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 1: we're going to share our opinions, but your opinion always

664
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 1: matters to us. And always gives us a different perspective,

665
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 1: like were you angry at Thomas here? Did you find

666
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 1: what he did to be incredibly wrong? Or was this

667
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 1: an overplayed dramatic event that was just the highlight of

668
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 1: the episode and they needed, like everybody wanted to make

669
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 1: it something because all the contestants, they were like, hey,

670
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: everybody here gets along and these guys are great, and

671
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: we need to figure out which one can go. I

672
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 1: have I I don't love that he was pushed aside

673
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:07,959
Speaker 1: because he had thoughts of being the Bachelor. I think,

674
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: you know, all three of us have done this show.

675
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 1: If I would say when I went on the Bachelor

676
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 1: at not only was I just excited for the opportunity,

677
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 1: I was excited for what it was gonna mean for

678
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 1: my life, like that I had a story to tell

679
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 1: that I had maybe love and was involved in that

680
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 1: maybe it wasn't, And if it wasn't, then like maybe

681
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna meet cool people and you know, tell

682
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 1: my friends and family house on the show at one

683
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 1: point in my life. Um and and I wonder I

684
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 1: just think also though, to give a little criticism Thomas,

685
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: I think it was really bad at explaining himself I

686
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 1: think his biggest mistake here was that he continued to

687
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 1: fall back into this sales pitchy like response to things,

688
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,799
Speaker 1: and it never came off genuine when all he had

689
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 1: to say was like something authentic. It just never felt

690
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: like he was really explain himself. It felt like he

691
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 1: was just missing the mark there, which might be the

692
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,800
Speaker 1: reason I finally just kind of blew up in his face. Yeah,

693
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:06,359
Speaker 1: I think you're totally dead on with that, and that

694
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,319
Speaker 1: she would they would ask him a question where whether

695
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,879
Speaker 1: it was the guys or Katie. I mean, she at

696
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:15,840
Speaker 1: one point said, Um, I need an answer, you know.

697
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:19,879
Speaker 1: Didn't she say, like, no, that's not what I asked you. Um, like,

698
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 1: give me clarification. I'm asking you, did you want to

699
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: be the Bachelor? And I get it in in terms

700
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:31,280
Speaker 1: of like the mentality, Like it seems like she's saying,

701
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,880
Speaker 1: if you aren't coming here for love and that's it,

702
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:40,240
Speaker 1: then you can leave. Um. What I think is what

703
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 1: what I think I would love to have kind of

704
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:46,839
Speaker 1: counseled her on is there are going to be people here.

705
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: Let's be realistic that come here and think, yeah, I

706
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 1: would love to fall in love, but if that doesn't

707
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 1: happen and I have this platform that I can use

708
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 1: for good or you know whatever that can be a

709
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 1: good thing. I don't personally like the people who go

710
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 1: on the show just to be famous, you know, like

711
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:08,359
Speaker 1: you can smell that, um, and I don't like it.

712
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 1: But let's be honest, Like there are people who come

713
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 1: on the show and they're like, I'm gonna have this

714
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:17,839
Speaker 1: platform and I want to be able to use it

715
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: and if it's for something good, great, Um, if they

716
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 1: want to just you know, become more famous, I just

717
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,879
Speaker 1: I don't like it, and I think that Katie doesn't.

718
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 1: She thought it's like a black and white thing. If

719
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,760
Speaker 1: if he's coming on the show thinking that he wants

720
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:41,360
Speaker 1: to be the next Bachelor, then that's telling me that

721
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,879
Speaker 1: he is not here for love. But I think that

722
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,880
Speaker 1: there can be both. You know, you can come on

723
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 1: the show and be realistic and think, you know, if

724
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: it doesn't happen for us, then it would be fun

725
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: to be the Bachelor. I'm going to be honest, But um,

726
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 1: I think she was thinking very black and white about it,

727
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: and I think the guys were too. I think that

728
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 1: was so perfectly put You took the words out of

729
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 1: my mouth. Uh. Like I say all the time, broken

730
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 1: record here, you should always you shouldn't be signing up

731
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 1: for the show unless like your marriage oriented, relationship ready

732
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 1: and wanting to find it fall in love, But that

733
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be the only reason you signed up

734
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 1: for the show. Um. And I just think it's so

735
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 1: crazy to think that this guy last week, in a

736
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 1: moment in which he was supposed to be vulnerable and

737
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:33,240
Speaker 1: talk about his own red flags, he admitted that he

738
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 1: was there. He signed up initially for like a platform,

739
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 1: and he was being super honest, and then he's totally

740
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:46,799
Speaker 1: plummeted because of that honesty. And it's just like everyone

741
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 1: who's been on the show before you me been, We're thinking,

742
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 1: like these thoughts have crossed everyone's mind. So that's why

743
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 1: it's super infuriating. Okay, fine, maybe I'm a little bit

744
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,839
Speaker 1: too heated over it, but I think it's it's very

745
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 1: frustrating to watch these guys gang up on Thomas for

746
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 1: something that you just know has been in their head

747
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 1: as well. And it's I almost wish that like Caitlin

748
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:15,839
Speaker 1: and Tatia would have like made a joke about it,

749
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,759
Speaker 1: because I could see Caitlin making a joke about it

750
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: right about like she was like, well, there was a

751
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 1: certain point where I started to think, you know, I mean,

752
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,319
Speaker 1: and also like just going on the show to have fun,

753
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:33,360
Speaker 1: because that's what I feel like a lot of people do.

754
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 1: They think this is a cool experience. It's a once

755
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: in a lifetime thing. And if I fall in love bonus,

756
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:44,360
Speaker 1: you know, Um, I don't know. I think there's something

757
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 1: to be said for just looking at it realistically instead

758
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 1: of you know, coming after him. If that was his

759
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 1: m O and that's the only reason he came on

760
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 1: the show and he's not open to love, then that's

761
00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 1: one thing. But I think that he's open to he

762
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:03,359
Speaker 1: just like you said, Ben, he had a horrible way

763
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 1: of expressing that. I wonder if there's more behind the

764
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 1: scenes to like there, because a lot of the guys

765
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:11,400
Speaker 1: when he would talk or saying things like oh, you know,

766
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:14,360
Speaker 1: of course, this is what Thomas would say, and oh yeah,

767
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 1: here here, here he goes again. Like I just wonder

768
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 1: if they knew more than what we are seeing. And

769
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 1: that's why they were also up in arms about it,

770
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 1: because I would have a hard time believing that if

771
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 1: all of them are honest with themselves, and not one

772
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: other person in that room would have set up and

773
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:30,760
Speaker 1: been like, yeah, you know what, Like I thought that too,

774
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 1: Like I was like feeling the same way, So like

775
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:35,839
Speaker 1: maybe we should be like there had to be more

776
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 1: and if so, we just never saw it because he

777
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 1: obviously got let go it can in the midst of

778
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 1: all of this, I need to bring out, um, somebody

779
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 1: that is now going to take the trophy as the

780
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 1: best of something of all time on this show. And

781
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give it. I'm gonna give it out and

782
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,319
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna agree with me because they have to. And

783
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: I hold the mike. We have a name. I don't

784
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 1: know his name. We have a guy this season who

785
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 1: makes the best facial expressions of all time on the franchise.

786
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 1: I don't know his name. He does the guy with

787
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 1: the guy that opens up his eyes, who rolls his

788
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 1: eyes justin yeah, okay, it's good, justin his facial expressions.

789
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 1: It just watch and I'm sure memes are going to

790
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 1: be put out. Like that guy he my dad does

791
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 1: this thing where like when he like wants to be funny,

792
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 1: he opens his eyes real big and it's just like

793
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 1: it doesn't fit. It's just like a little awkward and

794
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,399
Speaker 1: you're like, why your eyes so like, why your eyes

795
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 1: open so big? Justin does the same thing, like the

796
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 1: exact same thing, and uh, and I'm gonna give him

797
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 1: the reward award. I know we've had some little ones,

798
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna give it to him. Okay, I have

799
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 1: a more thing to say about Thomas before we move on. Okay,

800
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:50,320
Speaker 1: actually have a couple more things. One, all the guys

801
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 1: kept saying he was like manipulative, and I'm like, was

802
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 1: he manipulative or he's is he a sweet talking guy

803
00:46:57,560 --> 00:46:59,839
Speaker 1: who's like a little too suave for his own good

804
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 1: and he like he speaks like a lot of both.

805
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:06,360
Speaker 1: You know, it's like it's like a lot of the

806
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 1: flowery talk. Yeah, politician right, who also said he wanted

807
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 1: to be the Bachelor because I didn't see anything where

808
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 1: he was like trying to manipulate. The other men they

809
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 1: were like he manipulated me, and like, yeah, it's a

810
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 1: it's a fine line because you sit down with a

811
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:26,399
Speaker 1: guy and he's like honest with you, and you feel

812
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 1: like you have a good connection with him, and you

813
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 1: feel like you can be vulnerable around him and all

814
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:31,839
Speaker 1: this stuff and then maybe. I mean, like I said,

815
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 1: maybe there's more than we're not seeing here, because he

816
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 1: obviously burned some bridges, and like he had a whole

817
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 1: group of good dudes like angry at him. Like not

818
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:41,759
Speaker 1: one dude in that house stood up for him, not

819
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 1: one other than other, you know, other than kind of

820
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 1: saying hey, like why are you telling Katie this is

821
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 1: just gonna take time away from me? It wasn't really

822
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 1: standing up for for him at all. So there had

823
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 1: to be more to it. That's my assumption at this point,

824
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 1: um that we just didn't see. Yeah, I think you

825
00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 1: can always assume that because you know that the show

826
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:04,520
Speaker 1: or whatever it is, ends up on the cutting room floor.

827
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's more to it. And then going off

828
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 1: that the way that Katie dumps him at the end

829
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 1: during the rose ceremony, thinking that he's getting the vinal

830
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 1: rose and then she's just like, you're disgusting leave and

831
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:21,760
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, I feel bad for this guy.

832
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:25,440
Speaker 1: I can't believe this is happening. That was a big moment,

833
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:29,880
Speaker 1: that moment. Can I ask you a question, though she

834
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 1: had that final rose, she never gave it out. I

835
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 1: wanted it to go to Christian. I think Christians so cute.

836
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 1: I don't know where he's been. I don't know why

837
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 1: she didn't like him. How can we give you to Thomas?

838
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:46,480
Speaker 1: But what the hell give it to somebody? I think

839
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:49,400
Speaker 1: she figuratively gives it to Blake, which is why she

840
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 1: goes to his room afterwards. Yeah, yeah, Ashley, you're so

841
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 1: good at this show. Wow at this that makes sense?

842
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:01,399
Speaker 1: Well the funny not not the funny part. I don't

843
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:04,359
Speaker 1: know if this sad or funny. The show ends after

844
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 1: the final rows and the guys get released. There's two

845
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:09,719
Speaker 1: dudes there I had never seen before. Is that just me?

846
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 1: I thought I've watched every episode, But the one guy

847
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:14,839
Speaker 1: says goodbye to us, like I have not seen your

848
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 1: face one time in four episodes. That happens to me

849
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 1: all the time. And then I have to say, as

850
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 1: you get older, it will happen to you more and

851
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 1: more that I'm aging good. Well that's cool, Okay, I

852
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:32,880
Speaker 1: guess let's talk about Blake now before we let Trista go.

853
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:34,880
Speaker 1: After she's been on with us for so long and

854
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 1: we are so grateful for you, how do we feel

855
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 1: Blake's getting? Like? How far is he going? Is this

856
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 1: connection real. I think that possibly because I think if

857
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 1: you had asked me a couple of weeks ago, I

858
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:49,279
Speaker 1: would have thought that Thomas is gonna get far. And

859
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:51,120
Speaker 1: now I'm like having to fill in a blank where

860
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:56,719
Speaker 1: Thomas stood and could be blake. I think he gets far. Actually, um,

861
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 1: you know, of course in all the previews, I'm always

862
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 1: kind of um investigative in terms of the previews when

863
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:09,719
Speaker 1: the part you know, such the best part, so you know,

864
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:12,239
Speaker 1: we haven't been able to see him because of course

865
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:15,319
Speaker 1: they're not going to put him in previews because they

866
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:18,799
Speaker 1: didn't want to give up the secret beforehand. But I

867
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:21,759
Speaker 1: would think he goes far. I mean they seem like

868
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 1: they have a lot of things in common, just off

869
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 1: off that um in terms of humor and I think humility,

870
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:34,719
Speaker 1: and I really like them together. I don't know. I'm

871
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:39,759
Speaker 1: I'm bad at choosing though, so I'm probably wrong. I

872
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:41,759
Speaker 1: feel him, I feel him. I think it was far.

873
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:46,319
Speaker 1: I will say this, Uh, the worst thing these dudes

874
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:48,719
Speaker 1: can do is be super against him coming into the

875
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:51,040
Speaker 1: house now, because I was on a season with Caitlin

876
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 1: when Nick came back, and like half the guys kind

877
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:55,880
Speaker 1: of put their foot down, like we're going to be

878
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 1: against this for a really good reason, like that they

879
00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:01,400
Speaker 1: didn't really affect that much, right, Like they still were

880
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:03,920
Speaker 1: able to date Caitlin, they were still able to go

881
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:05,719
Speaker 1: like on one on ones, they were still to get

882
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 1: to know where, But instead they change their focus to

883
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:14,200
Speaker 1: being like anti Nick, which totally destroyed They're a lot

884
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 1: of them. So like, at this point, is it ideal

885
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:18,839
Speaker 1: that another guy's joining? No, can you be a little

886
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:20,800
Speaker 1: upset about and be like that's that kind of bums

887
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:22,759
Speaker 1: me out because that kind of sends the message that

888
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:26,239
Speaker 1: she's not sold yet on you. Maybe a little bit

889
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:27,720
Speaker 1: like I can see where you take a little personal

890
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 1: offense that, but then just like be okay with it

891
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:32,759
Speaker 1: because it's not worth your time and it's gonna end

892
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:35,840
Speaker 1: out how you want to end out anyways. Um, but

893
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:38,160
Speaker 1: Blake's coming on. I think he's around a while, and

894
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:40,000
Speaker 1: I think the guys from what we see, get really

895
00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 1: upset and I bet they ruined themselves in the process.

896
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:46,360
Speaker 1: They need somebody new because we had Cody Carl and

897
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:48,400
Speaker 1: then we had Thomas and now they're looking for the

898
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:51,759
Speaker 1: next guy to vote off what they call it and

899
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:57,719
Speaker 1: what they call it the Island you don't get you

900
00:51:57,719 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 1: don't get the little peace pipe or whatever thing is.

901
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:02,000
Speaker 1: I have a more thing to say. I know, I know,

902
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:05,920
Speaker 1: I'm so horrible. One more thing. You guys, how cute

903
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:12,600
Speaker 1: is Michael great? Oh? I love him? A lot of masterpieces.

904
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 1: He's like, he got so emotional talking to her. He's

905
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:19,840
Speaker 1: such a cutey pets. Now he should be the next bachelor.

906
00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:22,840
Speaker 1: I think he is. If he's not with her, I

907
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:25,480
Speaker 1: think it's a shoe in I think, and I think

908
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 1: it's like a massive home run for the show if

909
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 1: they make him. Yeah, right, he's the bachelor we need. Oh,

910
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:34,160
Speaker 1: I love him. He has to bring his kid on

911
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:37,839
Speaker 1: the show, although like logistically I'm like, I don't see

912
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:41,239
Speaker 1: that happening with a child, but um, yeah he is.

913
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:44,640

00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 1: But now it's time for one of your favorites. Uh.

939
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:13,280
Speaker 1: It's Bachelor headlines and we're gonna run through these quickly.

940
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:16,440
Speaker 1: There's a lot of them. Ashley is prepared and ready

941
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:18,800
Speaker 1: to go with him. The first one is Bachelor. Katie

942
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:24,360
Speaker 1: Thurston likes shady meme about front runner Greg Grippo. This

943
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:28,600
Speaker 1: according to us uh Now, Ashley, this is a big,

944
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:32,680
Speaker 1: big article because this is my favorite hot topic this week. Yeah, so,

945
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:34,200
Speaker 1: like it's hinting at a bunch of things. What do

946
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:35,600
Speaker 1: we know? What do you think? Like we have to

947
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:38,279
Speaker 1: make some assumptions here. Okay, so we know that Greg, Well,

948
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:41,320
Speaker 1: in the headline it states he's a front runner. I

949
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:43,480
Speaker 1: would say he's the number one front runner right now,

950
00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 1: right Well. Becka Martinez, she shared a she shared a

951
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:55,280
Speaker 1: meme of Greg from I guess it was last week

952
00:54:55,800 --> 00:55:00,440
Speaker 1: and it says, when the guy next to you is

953
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:04,360
Speaker 1: getting interrograded about wanting to be the Bachelor aka Thomas,

954
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 1: and you've got to pretend to be disgusted while hiding

955
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:12,840
Speaker 1: your acting career aspirations. And that's in reference to Greg

956
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:19,520
Speaker 1: having acting career aspirations. Now, what's juicy about this is

957
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 1: that Katie liked this, like the meme on Instagram on

958
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:31,959
Speaker 1: I think on Instagram social media, and then she unliked it. Oh,

959
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 1: like she was like, oh can't be too obvious, can't

960
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:38,680
Speaker 1: have fancy this unlike so to me, that means that

961
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:43,600
Speaker 1: Greg doesn't win. This is a big deal and big

962
00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:46,920
Speaker 1: deal you don't like a meme of somebody you care about,

963
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:50,399
Speaker 1: especially a one like this. So what it's hinting at,

964
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:53,000
Speaker 1: we don't know. I'm assuming we'll find out as the

965
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:58,360
Speaker 1: season progresses. And uh huh, a little frustrating because I thought,

966
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:02,160
Speaker 1: you know what, Greg seemed it seems perfect in a

967
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:07,799
Speaker 1: lot of ways, right, they seemed like that bachelor. Like

968
00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:09,960
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, Greg and Katie they're going to

969
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:12,279
Speaker 1: be They're a good one thing Katie. Well, we'll see

970
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:16,279
Speaker 1: if it happens. Uh. Speaking of past bachelor's though, this

971
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:18,360
Speaker 1: is I thought this was hilarious. I'm gonna share this

972
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:21,320
Speaker 1: headline just because I watched it, and I hope Claire

973
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:23,520

974
00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:26,359
Speaker 1: meant in this. It was just kind of funny. Wan

01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:24,280
Speaker 1: I would say as a front runner one of my favorites.

1036
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:28,640
Speaker 1: Was an instructor of yours. What did he teach you?

1037
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:33,320
Speaker 1: Andrew and was my water polo coach when I was twelve? Well, wait,

1038
01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 1: how old are you now? Now? I'm nineteen almost twenty. Okay,

1039
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:40,720
Speaker 1: so wait, what is water polo? What is water pool?

1040
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:46,240
Speaker 1: Actually it's only really a big thing in California. So. Um,

1041
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:50,000
Speaker 1: but it's a water sport with the ball where you

1042
01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:54,320
Speaker 1: just like swim and you score goals into a net. Okay,

1043
01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:59,560
Speaker 1: so what do you know about Andrew? Um? So, Andrew. Actually,

1044
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:01,439
Speaker 1: we didn't know who our coach was going to be

1045
01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:05,120
Speaker 1: when we were twelve. Uh, and then when we found

1046
01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:07,840
Speaker 1: out that it was him, we were all super excited

1047
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:09,600
Speaker 1: because we thought that he was so cute and he

1048
01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:12,240
Speaker 1: was so nice. One of the things that I remember
