0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:04.280
<v Speaker 1>Hell I Suck At Dating with de Youngler and Jared

0:00:04.360 --> 0:00:10.520
<v Speaker 1>Haven and I heard radio podcast What's going On? Everyone?

0:00:10.640 --> 0:00:13.640
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to an all new episode of Help I Suck

0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:16.600
<v Speaker 1>At Dating. Um. I first want to take a second

0:00:16.600 --> 0:00:19.320
<v Speaker 1>and apologize for last week, but I think that my

0:00:19.400 --> 0:00:23.040
<v Speaker 1>absence actually ended up benefiting the podcast in a lot

0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:25.960
<v Speaker 1>of ways because Caitlyn and Caroline and Jared all did

0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:27.440
<v Speaker 1>a great job. But this week's episode is going to

0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:29.600
<v Speaker 1>be even better, if you can believe it. We have

0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:32.760
<v Speaker 1>our favorite Heather Martin joining us. Heather, what's going on?

0:00:33.120 --> 0:00:35.720
<v Speaker 1>What's going on? As it's been a long time. It

0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:37.680
<v Speaker 1>has been a long time, at least like two months,

0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:40.040
<v Speaker 1>I know, I think more than that. No, you're right,

0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:44.880
<v Speaker 1>You're right, it's been a little bit longer than that. Well, Jared, also,

0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:46.480
<v Speaker 1>I want to say, how do you Hi? Jared, haven't

0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:48.239
<v Speaker 1>talked to you in a while. Hi, Gene. I know

0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:51.320
<v Speaker 1>it's been a while. I'm still obviously in the coffee

0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:54.840
<v Speaker 1>shop right now. Things are good. I'm a little sleep deprived,

0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:57.639
<v Speaker 1>that's what happens with a kid. But Dawson's doing well.

0:00:57.680 --> 0:01:00.720
<v Speaker 1>He had his first well yet. He had a pediatrician

0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:03.920
<v Speaker 1>appointment this morning. His first one in Rhode Island because

0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:05.760
<v Speaker 1>the other ones have been in Virginia, and they said

0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:09.399
<v Speaker 1>that he's measuring in the PenTile in height, So I'm

0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:11.600
<v Speaker 1>hoping this it's so like he might be six four.

0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:18.160
<v Speaker 1>Everybody's saying he's got big hands, and this kid might

0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:21.320
<v Speaker 1>be Tom Brady two point on. I'm just I'm just

0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:24.520
<v Speaker 1>throwing it out there. You're right, you know, when you

0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:26.440
<v Speaker 1>know when the NFL or the NBA do is that

0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:29.440
<v Speaker 1>does their way too early predictions for next season. That's

0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:31.360
<v Speaker 1>what this sounds like. It sounds like it's a little

0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:33.119
<v Speaker 1>too early to be making these kind of predictions. But hey,

0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:39.240
<v Speaker 1>more power to you if it happened. I know, you

0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:42.200
<v Speaker 1>know he's only five weeks old, then he's already five ten.

0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:44.479
<v Speaker 1>You gotta you gotta put a football in the baby's

0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:47.400
<v Speaker 1>hands asap. Come on, do you think that the thing

0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:50.640
<v Speaker 1>is velcrow to him? But how are are you doing?

0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:53.080
<v Speaker 1>What's going on with you? I have to say, first, Jared,

0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:57.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't think babies are that cute normally, and your

0:01:57.280 --> 0:02:00.720
<v Speaker 1>baby is so cute. Yeah, he's kind of the cutest

0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 1>thing ever. And I don't just throw that out there

0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:05.480
<v Speaker 1>with babies, I think most of the time. They're like,

0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:07.600
<v Speaker 1>like people just say they're cute because like your parents,

0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:10.440
<v Speaker 1>but you have a cute baby. Oh well thank you.

0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Ashley and I say the same thing all the time,

0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:14.960
<v Speaker 1>and we're like, is it us are biased because it

0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:18.640
<v Speaker 1>came from us, so we love it more than others.

0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:21.120
<v Speaker 1>But everybody says that he's a really cute baby, so

0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:26.519
<v Speaker 1>there's some valided he's very cute. Babies five weeks old? Justum,

0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:29.040
<v Speaker 1>catch up to see again on that real quick. So

0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:32.240
<v Speaker 1>five weeks I helped my I helped my brother's uh

0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:35.400
<v Speaker 1>five week old baby. I think, uh about when was

0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:39.680
<v Speaker 1>your baby born? Jan He was February fourth, Okay, so

0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:42.839
<v Speaker 1>his baby is five days behind your baby, and I've

0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:45.160
<v Speaker 1>never I was telling him about this and I think

0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:47.840
<v Speaker 1>the baby came out like a week early too, so um,

0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:49.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, not underside what was a little undersized, but

0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:52.520
<v Speaker 1>not like unhealthy undersize or anything like that. Um. All

0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:55.360
<v Speaker 1>the babies you see like movies and stuff are all

0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:57.800
<v Speaker 1>like probably like six to twelve months old, right, so

0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:01.880
<v Speaker 1>they're like big and fat and like chru big looking. Um,

0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:08.280
<v Speaker 1>but newborn babies are like kind of weird looking. A

0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:11.280
<v Speaker 1>lot of newborns, no that's the first. That's the first

0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:13.400
<v Speaker 1>like new baby I've ever been around, Like within the

0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:16.000
<v Speaker 1>first you should see. You should see the kid when

0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:18.680
<v Speaker 1>he first comes out. You you want to see weird

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.880
<v Speaker 1>looking it's he was a cone head because like when

0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:25.200
<v Speaker 1>Dawson came out, Dude, he's purple head to toe. He

0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:29.000
<v Speaker 1>looks like Fanos from Avengers. And then his head is

0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:31.800
<v Speaker 1>like pointing in the back. It's pretty jarring. You're like,

0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:36.520
<v Speaker 1>holy sh your head to go back to like normal shape.

0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:43.280
<v Speaker 1>It honestly started going back, honestly that night it started

0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:45.760
<v Speaker 1>getting normal. And then his it's weird. So he's got

0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:47.240
<v Speaker 1>a soft spot on the top of his head and

0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:48.680
<v Speaker 1>the back of his head. So the back of the

0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:53.360
<v Speaker 1>head will be hardened by like four months, but the

0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:56.480
<v Speaker 1>top of the head stays soft like the first fifteen

0:03:56.480 --> 0:04:00.920
<v Speaker 1>months of his life. Mhlways, it's really Badfully, I want

0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:02.640
<v Speaker 1>to squeeze babies heads. And I know it's like the

0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:07.000
<v Speaker 1>cutest softest thing. It's like dangerous. Oh it's so dangerous,

0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:10.520
<v Speaker 1>Like it's there is this really it is very real.

0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:13.080
<v Speaker 1>You know how people are like something so cute you

0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:16.800
<v Speaker 1>just want to like shake it. It's a very real thing. Yeah,

0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:20.839
<v Speaker 1>it's like, yeah, kissing him from up and down and

0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:22.880
<v Speaker 1>like tickling him, and like, I can tell that he's

0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:24.960
<v Speaker 1>not enjoying it. He's not at that age where he's

0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:27.400
<v Speaker 1>like enjoying tickles. But I can't help myself. I'm like, bro,

0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:31.280
<v Speaker 1>I just gotta like, I gotta tickle your feet. I

0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:33.960
<v Speaker 1>can't help myself. I've never heard of cute aggression, but

0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:35.600
<v Speaker 1>I see where you're coming from. I do the same

0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:36.880
<v Speaker 1>thing with dogs all the time. I'm like, I just

0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:38.840
<v Speaker 1>want to squeeze the living out of you, but I

0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:40.760
<v Speaker 1>know I can't do that obviously. Yeah, I just want

0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:42.520
<v Speaker 1>to hurt it because it's just so cute. I know.

0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:44.400
<v Speaker 1>It's the thing some people have that some people don't.

0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:47.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't get how you can't have it, but it's

0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:50.320
<v Speaker 1>a real thing. I judge people who walk by dogs

0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:55.400
<v Speaker 1>and don't want to stick their face in them. Fully

0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:58.119
<v Speaker 1>put your face and that dog's fur. What happens whenever

0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:00.240
<v Speaker 1>stranger comes up to Lois and just show is his

0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:02.159
<v Speaker 1>face in her for that kind of weird you will

0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:09.799
<v Speaker 1>bite them. Yeah, Heather Phillis in what's going on? Where

0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:11.839
<v Speaker 1>have you been? What have you been up to? Honestly,

0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:14.799
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of been sambled, same wled. Nothing too crazy

0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:18.679
<v Speaker 1>new the past few months. My my sister actually moved,

0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:21.240
<v Speaker 1>which has been sad. I like the first one of

0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:23.880
<v Speaker 1>us three. She's gone, like my best friend, so that's

0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:26.719
<v Speaker 1>been sad. But she's back to visit this week, so

0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:31.480
<v Speaker 1>that's fun. Um, you're still in southern California, right, yea,

0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:34.720
<v Speaker 1>silen North County, San Diego. Carl's bad. I love it here.

0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:38.599
<v Speaker 1>It's been so nice. It was like seventy six yesterday. Yeah.

0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:41.000
<v Speaker 1>Are you You're not twin sisters, right, but you guys

0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:43.040
<v Speaker 1>are just really close. Yeah, we're all two years apart,

0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:44.479
<v Speaker 1>so I'm in the middle of three and we all

0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:46.599
<v Speaker 1>cheers a part. But me and my little sister looked

0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:48.960
<v Speaker 1>a lot like where did she moved to? Do you know?

0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:53.200
<v Speaker 1>She had to boise her boyfriends. Her boyfriends there, so

0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:58.480
<v Speaker 1>they're going to get married soon, get engaged pretty soon. Excited,

0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:05.120
<v Speaker 1>tell her to tell her it's not too late. Dean,

0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:07.200
<v Speaker 1>Are you do you have baby fever? Because Caitlyn last

0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:08.960
<v Speaker 1>week in the podcast said that you might be getting

0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:12.760
<v Speaker 1>baby fever ever after holding your brother's kid. She said

0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:16.160
<v Speaker 1>that on with no grounds, There's no way I like

0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:17.600
<v Speaker 1>didn't even talk to her about the baby. I just

0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:19.120
<v Speaker 1>sent her a picture of me holding the baby and

0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:22.919
<v Speaker 1>she probably formulated this whole I don't know idea in

0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:25.480
<v Speaker 1>her head. Um. So we did talk. We did talk

0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:27.000
<v Speaker 1>about babies the other day. Though I said I would

0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:29.040
<v Speaker 1>I would be because I'm not. I'm pretty anti baby

0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:31.560
<v Speaker 1>at the moment. But I told her if I ever

0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:33.680
<v Speaker 1>get like a job and we've got a lot more

0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:36.560
<v Speaker 1>financial security, then I'm more open to having the conversation

0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:38.440
<v Speaker 1>about babies. But the uncertainty is really what the thing

0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:40.200
<v Speaker 1>that scares me the most about having a child. Do

0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:42.680
<v Speaker 1>you think that's going to happen? Though no, I don't.

0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:45.880
<v Speaker 1>You know what's really funny he talks about financial and

0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:49.560
<v Speaker 1>not being financially secured. As Calen last week of the

0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:51.760
<v Speaker 1>podcast was like, yeah, we're thinking about buying in l A.

0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:55.400
<v Speaker 1>We also have the house in Bagh. Short term, short

0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:57.440
<v Speaker 1>term we're fine, We're chill, and short term I're talking

0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:00.200
<v Speaker 1>like ten years down the line. I don't know we're

0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:02.359
<v Speaker 1>gonna be flipping burgers at McDonald's in twenty years. I

0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:04.200
<v Speaker 1>feel like, I think you're going to be fine. I

0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:06.960
<v Speaker 1>I have faith, all right. Well, anyways, back to back

0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:09.680
<v Speaker 1>to Heather, Back to Heather. No, I love to hear

0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:14.080
<v Speaker 1>about when the baby's coming. Are you last time we

0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:15.880
<v Speaker 1>talked to you, I think you said you were talking

0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:18.520
<v Speaker 1>to some guy. Right. Are you dating? What's this? What's

0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:23.600
<v Speaker 1>the update on your love life? Um? No, I currently No,

0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:29.160
<v Speaker 1>not at the moment. I was. Yeah, recently, I'm not

0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:34.360
<v Speaker 1>very timely that I'm on this podcast. I feel like

0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:36.800
<v Speaker 1>I've come to the realization I really do suck a dating.

0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:39.640
<v Speaker 1>I feel like You've got a lot to unpack their Phillison,

0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:42.680
<v Speaker 1>what's going on? It's just you, me and Dan. Nobody

0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:45.520
<v Speaker 1>else is here listening. No, I just know so I

0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:50.800
<v Speaker 1>was talking to someone for dating someone for a few months. Um,

0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:54.600
<v Speaker 1>And I think I just have come to realize, like

0:07:54.640 --> 0:08:00.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm just really bad at like communicating um my emotions

0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:03.920
<v Speaker 1>and my feelings towards people. I think I think he

0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:06.120
<v Speaker 1>was super He's like the best guy ever, Like seriously,

0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:09.520
<v Speaker 1>one of the best guys I've ever met, amazing, And

0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:13.920
<v Speaker 1>he was super open and forward with his emotions and

0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:16.520
<v Speaker 1>just like very expressive. And I think for my whole life,

0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:20.800
<v Speaker 1>I've like I have such a fear of like hurting

0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:23.280
<v Speaker 1>people are rejecting people or like that's just like my

0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:25.000
<v Speaker 1>biggest fear, like makes you want to die. So I

0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:30.160
<v Speaker 1>think I've always held back my feelings or emotions um

0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:34.400
<v Speaker 1>out of that fear. And I think, um, in this

0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:37.200
<v Speaker 1>situation where I actually like someone, I just kind of

0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:40.120
<v Speaker 1>went back to my old habits of doing that, and

0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:43.760
<v Speaker 1>I think that kind of um hurt me in the

0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:49.400
<v Speaker 1>long run. It seems like you both really liked each

0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:52.360
<v Speaker 1>other because you made it seem like he was very

0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:55.800
<v Speaker 1>forward with his feelings his intentions, which makes me sound

0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:59.600
<v Speaker 1>makes it feel like he said he wanted a relationship

0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:04.560
<v Speaker 1>or he saw this going long term. Yes, so are

0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:08.120
<v Speaker 1>you saying that maybe you like this guy more than

0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:13.360
<v Speaker 1>you were leading on? And if so, why were you

0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:17.520
<v Speaker 1>holding back in the beginning? I don't want to know.

0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:21.240
<v Speaker 1>Two incluyees of the situation. The situation was very complicated,

0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:24.920
<v Speaker 1>um one, with everything going on with just yeah, just

0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:28.320
<v Speaker 1>in general, um so, I think I went in with

0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:30.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot more fears than I normally would. But I

0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:34.559
<v Speaker 1>also think, naturally, I'm just so guarded in general. So

0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:37.439
<v Speaker 1>I think it like compounded on each other those two things,

0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:39.960
<v Speaker 1>um so, and it made me I think, naturally, I

0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:41.760
<v Speaker 1>just don't actress my feelings because it's like a fear

0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:44.199
<v Speaker 1>of mine. I have like a million rolls. And then

0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:46.880
<v Speaker 1>on top of that, the situation was kind of complicated,

0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:49.920
<v Speaker 1>so I just really held back and he was so

0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:51.800
<v Speaker 1>and I think I didn't even realize how much I

0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:55.880
<v Speaker 1>was holding back until um until the end and I

0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:58.400
<v Speaker 1>was like, dang it, Heather, like what's wrong with you?

0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:01.319
<v Speaker 1>And um? And you might have mentioned this was it

0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:06.760
<v Speaker 1>your decision or his decision or was it's it's it's

0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:11.040
<v Speaker 1>a uh, the situation is so are like I can't

0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:12.920
<v Speaker 1>even get into the whole situation. But it was kind

0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:19.160
<v Speaker 1>of just like I was not, um expressing my emotions

0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:20.720
<v Speaker 1>in the way that I probably should, and I think

0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:23.520
<v Speaker 1>it was like kind of hurting him. Um, what's holding

0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:26.800
<v Speaker 1>you back from expressing your emotions? Now? I think I

0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:29.360
<v Speaker 1>think I have now. I think I have now. Um,

0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:32.280
<v Speaker 1>I think he knows where I am now. But I

0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:36.600
<v Speaker 1>think it was just yeah, and this is all very

0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:41.640
<v Speaker 1>new and there's not awkward. I just there's just like

0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:43.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot It's really not award. There's just a lot.

0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:48.440
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot um lots of different factors that are

0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:54.319
<v Speaker 1>involved that Yeah, how do you guys it sounds like too,

0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:56.480
<v Speaker 1>that there's a chance that you guys might rekindle or

0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:58.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm way off base. Yeah I could be wrong, but

0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:02.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't know. Maybe it's so fresh, but

0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:05.560
<v Speaker 1>it's possibly. Like I mean, I think we ended both

0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:11.079
<v Speaker 1>um obviously still have lots of feelings involved. But yeah,

0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:12.880
<v Speaker 1>when you say fresh, it sounds like you like called

0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:19.840
<v Speaker 1>him right before this podcast. Okay, yeah, just bawling. Can

0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:24.120
<v Speaker 1>you say how you guys met? Uh. Let me put

0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:27.839
<v Speaker 1>it this way. Everybody listening is assuming that this guy

0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:32.440
<v Speaker 1>is from the shows. That's what. Oh I wasn't assuming

0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:35.560
<v Speaker 1>that either, and I was. I was because when you

0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.240
<v Speaker 1>kept saying it was so overly complicated or there's a

0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:40.080
<v Speaker 1>lot of factors, I was like, I wonder if this

0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:44.040
<v Speaker 1>guy's like asked to go on Paradise or something. It's

0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:47.360
<v Speaker 1>a more complicated than that. Well, we love complicated, we

0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:50.480
<v Speaker 1>love bizarre. So I mean, this is the place to

0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:52.440
<v Speaker 1>events and get it all out there. There is free

0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:57.800
<v Speaker 1>therapy session, no names, no names, we'll call him. We'll

0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:05.920
<v Speaker 1>call him John x UM. But that's I guess that's

0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:07.720
<v Speaker 1>good news. It's good news in the sense that you're like,

0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:10.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, you're starting to dial in those emotions and

0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:12.600
<v Speaker 1>understand them a little bit better. I feel like, right,

0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:15.000
<v Speaker 1>that's it with positive takeaway for sure. I think this

0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:17.320
<v Speaker 1>has truly been like a really growing experience for me

0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:20.840
<v Speaker 1>and like realizing um my flaws in a lot of

0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:22.880
<v Speaker 1>ways that I don't think I realized that, like didn't

0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:26.720
<v Speaker 1>realize to the extent. It seems like you're putting a

0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:29.680
<v Speaker 1>lot of blame on yourself, which I can't help but

0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:32.760
<v Speaker 1>think that you might be a little too hard on yourself,

0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:36.400
<v Speaker 1>you know. I mean, let's ask the honest question. Do

0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:37.760
<v Speaker 1>you think that there might have been things that he

0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:43.560
<v Speaker 1>could have done better as well? Uh? No, I truly

0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:47.960
<v Speaker 1>do like this guy's I don't I don't know. He's

0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:49.960
<v Speaker 1>not saying it's me either. It wasn't like him like

0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:52.120
<v Speaker 1>saying this isn't it's like eating like dang it, like

0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:56.200
<v Speaker 1>I messed up because I truly, I truly feel like

0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:59.760
<v Speaker 1>it was um But the situation is complicated, Like I

0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:02.400
<v Speaker 1>think it wasn't for the situation that it wouldn't event

0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:08.200
<v Speaker 1>the same results. But I do think my lack of

0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:12.920
<v Speaker 1>communication skills was probably what with the whole with everything

0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:15.839
<v Speaker 1>going on, is what. Yeah, it was the major issue.

0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:21.240
<v Speaker 1>It sounds like there's something something's afoot, something so curious

0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:24.200
<v Speaker 1>right now, Like now my mind is going in all

0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:27.640
<v Speaker 1>the cogressions. I'm like, this guy's married, has has another family.

0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:33.760
<v Speaker 1>That that's me. Sure, I'm a home wriner. No, no,

0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:35.760
<v Speaker 1>but that's where our mind goes, at least for a

0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:37.720
<v Speaker 1>brief second, and we're like, wait, no, no, that's not

0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:40.439
<v Speaker 1>that's not that's not Heather. So I guess all we're

0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:42.000
<v Speaker 1>left to do is fill in the blanks for yourself,

0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:43.600
<v Speaker 1>which you know, that's kind of how it should be,

0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:45.640
<v Speaker 1>I think at the end of the day anyways, But

0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:48.080
<v Speaker 1>you're doing You're doing good. That's let me ask you

0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:50.040
<v Speaker 1>how there. So, I'm sure a lot of people are

0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:53.840
<v Speaker 1>going through similar situation that you are right now post breakup,

0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:56.640
<v Speaker 1>so or I don't know if you're broken up, but

0:13:56.760 --> 0:14:03.320
<v Speaker 1>post whatever the hell's going on right now? What are

0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:06.280
<v Speaker 1>you focusing on now? How do you get your mindset

0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:09.520
<v Speaker 1>out of focusing on this other person and focusing on

0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:18.000
<v Speaker 1>either their future without them, or yourself or multiple factors. Um,

0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:21.280
<v Speaker 1>that's a hard question. I think I honestly, I'm focusing

0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:24.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, I'm just moving forward with my life. I

0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:26.360
<v Speaker 1>think it's kind of hard. I think it's been kind

0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:28.040
<v Speaker 1>of a hard situation to move forward with the kind

0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:30.800
<v Speaker 1>of like the limbo of like ending of like both

0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:34.400
<v Speaker 1>still very much have feelings, but also like this is

0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:36.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of the best choice right now. So I think

0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:38.920
<v Speaker 1>that's been hard. I think just focusing on like can't

0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:42.880
<v Speaker 1>linger on that, but also like how can I move forward?

0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:45.440
<v Speaker 1>How can I grow from the situation, and then thinking

0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:47.080
<v Speaker 1>like I just I think I just go back my

0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:48.640
<v Speaker 1>faith and like I think God has planned. I think

0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:50.200
<v Speaker 1>there's a plan in this, and I think it's going

0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:54.120
<v Speaker 1>to all work out the way it's supposed to. Um,

0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:56.720
<v Speaker 1>So just working through that and praying through that, and

0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:59.680
<v Speaker 1>I think that's kind of what I've been relying on,

0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:03.560
<v Speaker 1>to be honest, nice, No, I respect that. So, um,

0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:05.080
<v Speaker 1>what do you think your next movie is gonna be

0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:06.560
<v Speaker 1>just kind of like lay low and take time for

0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:12.400
<v Speaker 1>yourself or uh yeah as far as dating goes, Yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:14.680
<v Speaker 1>I think just take a day by day and figure

0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:17.800
<v Speaker 1>it out. I have no idea. Um, I think you

0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:21.760
<v Speaker 1>should jump right back into it. I think that we Well.

0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:25.360
<v Speaker 1>The reason I say that is for multiple reasons, first

0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:28.800
<v Speaker 1>and foremost, to make this guy jealous. I think we

0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:31.960
<v Speaker 1>need I think because from what you've been telling me,

0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:36.280
<v Speaker 1>you're looking I know, it seems like you're looking in

0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:39.040
<v Speaker 1>word right now. What he said, this is the worst

0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:42.120
<v Speaker 1>advice I've ever heard. Let me finish my piece of

0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:44.920
<v Speaker 1>advice and then you can criticize it. It seems that

0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:47.600
<v Speaker 1>you've been looking inward a lot about things that you've

0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:50.480
<v Speaker 1>been doing wrong, things that you can approve on within

0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:54.520
<v Speaker 1>a relationship, all great things. Having said that, it also

0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:57.440
<v Speaker 1>sounds like you've expressed your feelings towards this person. So

0:15:57.560 --> 0:16:00.600
<v Speaker 1>if you do maybe want to rekindle things, I think

0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:02.960
<v Speaker 1>a great way it is just to go back out

0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:05.200
<v Speaker 1>there and start dating, and who knows, you might meet

0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Mr Perfect or maybe you know, he finds out that

0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:11.400
<v Speaker 1>you're dating other people and then it's like, oh, I

0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:14.440
<v Speaker 1>can't you know, let her go. I need to woo

0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:19.400
<v Speaker 1>her back. I think before Heather, uh, before Heather speaks,

0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:20.880
<v Speaker 1>I think that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard of.

0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:27.720
<v Speaker 1>That that takes the kig. That's number one, And the

0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:30.200
<v Speaker 1>reason being is she's just got done telling us how

0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:32.480
<v Speaker 1>complicated the situation was. The last thing she needs to

0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:34.960
<v Speaker 1>go and do is make it more complicated by dating

0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:37.680
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of other guys and making him jealous. I'm

0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:41.520
<v Speaker 1>an agent of chaos. Tein, I see that you're a monster.

0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:45.120
<v Speaker 1>Because now I'm settled down with a kid and a wife,

0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:48.320
<v Speaker 1>I need to live vicariously through other people. Yeah, so

0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:51.800
<v Speaker 1>let's let's mess this situation up, Heather. How can you

0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:53.480
<v Speaker 1>do us the favorite next time you have a conversation

0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:54.840
<v Speaker 1>with the guy or just to go on a date,

0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:56.640
<v Speaker 1>can you like instagram live it so you can just

0:16:56.680 --> 0:17:02.400
<v Speaker 1>go along you two in friends? Perfect? Yeah? So what

0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:05.240
<v Speaker 1>are your intentions with Heather? Would be like your big

0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:07.680
<v Speaker 1>brothers since you don't have any brothers. Perfect? I need

0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:14.560
<v Speaker 1>that for sure. Oh gosh um. Yeah, I honestly hate dating.

0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:17.119
<v Speaker 1>I think I've told you guys before, So, like I

0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:19.800
<v Speaker 1>don't just go on dates to date people ever, Like

0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:22.400
<v Speaker 1>that just sounds like miserable to me. So I mean,

0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:24.440
<v Speaker 1>I will date people if I feel like there could

0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:26.480
<v Speaker 1>be potential here, but just going on a date, just

0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:30.119
<v Speaker 1>just getting back out there, just like I just can't.

0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:34.320
<v Speaker 1>I just actually cannot. What's your least favorite part of dating?

0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:37.280
<v Speaker 1>I think I just hate I hate like just having

0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:40.000
<v Speaker 1>to say no to people, like because I think I

0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:43.160
<v Speaker 1>know pretty much like before like just talking to someone

0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:44.880
<v Speaker 1>for like five minutes if it's going to be yes

0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:47.400
<v Speaker 1>or no, and so like saying yes to someone having

0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:49.000
<v Speaker 1>to go through a dinner and be like at the

0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:51.879
<v Speaker 1>end or whatever later I have to like actually know,

0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:55.720
<v Speaker 1>like that's just torture. Like I hate It's the worst. Yeah,

0:17:55.880 --> 0:17:59.240
<v Speaker 1>the first and I feel well, I feel like, uh,

0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:01.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, one, women have to do it more than men.

0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:05.880
<v Speaker 1>Uh and too obviously you're you're very pretty, so I'm

0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:07.600
<v Speaker 1>sure you've had to do it a lot more than

0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:10.359
<v Speaker 1>someone like myself has to do it in the past,

0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:13.760
<v Speaker 1>so I can only imagine. But everybody always says, like

0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:16.359
<v Speaker 1>when they ask like about bachelor, you know, is it

0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:18.440
<v Speaker 1>worse to break up with someone or is it worse

0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:20.680
<v Speaker 1>to be broken up with? And I feel like everybody

0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:23.080
<v Speaker 1>always says it's way worse to break up with someone

0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:25.720
<v Speaker 1>because then you have the guilt on your shoulders. Yeah,

0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:28.320
<v Speaker 1>it's just terrible. It's the worst. Yeah, I hate it

0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:30.320
<v Speaker 1>so much. I mean, being broken up with it can't

0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:35.840
<v Speaker 1>be fun either, but pretty pretty sucky. But yeah, it's terrible.

0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:37.760
<v Speaker 1>But we still don't know what happened with you, guys.

0:18:37.760 --> 0:18:39.080
<v Speaker 1>We don't know who broke up with you, and I

0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:41.080
<v Speaker 1>think you know what, let's live with a veil of

0:18:41.119 --> 0:18:44.080
<v Speaker 1>mystery over it, perhaps because maybe some things are better

0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:47.280
<v Speaker 1>left than them. Yeah, I agree, But if you want

0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:50.680
<v Speaker 1>to tell us we're all I think that it would

0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:52.719
<v Speaker 1>be like probably a three our conversation if I went

0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:55.280
<v Speaker 1>into the details. I think we could. We could break

0:18:55.359 --> 0:19:01.080
<v Speaker 1>up this podcast into like three segments. Well, we'll get um,

0:19:01.080 --> 0:19:03.600
<v Speaker 1>we'll get HBO involved, will make a mini series out

0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:19.119
<v Speaker 1>of it. Perfect. All right, welcome back to Help I

0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:22.399
<v Speaker 1>Suck at Dating. We're gonna get into emails before we

0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:26.520
<v Speaker 1>wrap out this podcast, Dean's favorite part of the episode.

0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:30.240
<v Speaker 1>We have emails. Uh, Mark, I know you were there earlier.

0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:32.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure if you're still here, but if you're

0:19:32.280 --> 0:19:35.920

0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:38.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited to be here and I can't wait to

0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:41.480
<v Speaker 1>read these emails. Can I just have one question for you? Mark?

0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:44.280
<v Speaker 1>Very quickly? Yes, yes or no? On Aaron Rodgers, do

0:19:44.280 --> 0:19:47.280
<v Speaker 1>you want to back? Oh man, It's not as simple

0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:49.160
<v Speaker 1>as that, but you know it's funny about a year

0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:51.160
<v Speaker 1>ago you said to me, like, what do you think

0:19:51.160 --> 0:19:53.720
<v Speaker 1>of your quarterbacks? And asshole and I was like, whoa, hey,

0:19:53.840 --> 0:19:56.760
<v Speaker 1>easy there. But now now the whole world knows that

0:19:56.760 --> 0:20:00.359
<v Speaker 1>that is an accurate statement. Yes, yes, I was right.

0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:03.080
<v Speaker 1>It looks like he's coming back, so I'll say, let's

0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:08.480
<v Speaker 1>bring him back. It doesn't look like dying in that camp.

0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:12.600
<v Speaker 1>And I think he's going back to Green Bay. Congratulations.

0:20:12.880 --> 0:20:15.800
<v Speaker 1>I haven't spoken to you since Dawson was born. To congratulations.

0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:17.880
<v Speaker 1>I hope everything's going well. And I think I love

0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:20.240
<v Speaker 1>the pictures on Instagram. I think you're a great dad.

0:20:20.320 --> 0:20:23.480
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna be really great. Nice Mark. I appreciate buddy.

0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:26.119
<v Speaker 1>Good Buddy. This is anonymous. I got engaged, so the

0:20:26.160 --> 0:20:29.320
<v Speaker 1>best guy in the world on Christmas, and I'm planning

0:20:29.359 --> 0:20:32.600
<v Speaker 1>out wedding for my fiance is very laid back and

0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:34.960
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have any major opinions on the wedding, but I

0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:39.240
<v Speaker 1>want some male input. Jared, your wedding looked incredible. What

0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:41.200
<v Speaker 1>were the best parts and was there anything you would

0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:43.600
<v Speaker 1>have done differently? Or don't think it's super important to

0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:46.800
<v Speaker 1>put energy or money into Dean and Heather. From your

0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:53.840
<v Speaker 1>perspective as a wedding guest, what makes a great wedding? Uh,

0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:58.440
<v Speaker 1>that's a good question. I do think our wedding was incredible.

0:20:58.960 --> 0:21:04.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm a little biased. I would say the best parts were, uh,

0:21:04.359 --> 0:21:07.240
<v Speaker 1>being surrounded by the people that we loved the most

0:21:07.520 --> 0:21:14.879
<v Speaker 1>under one roof, because you know, yeah, here's Here's my

0:21:14.920 --> 0:21:17.280
<v Speaker 1>point is that one of the hardest parts of the

0:21:17.280 --> 0:21:19.800
<v Speaker 1>wedding is the guest list. So make sure that you

0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:22.320
<v Speaker 1>invite the people you want to invite and don't feel

0:21:22.320 --> 0:21:24.840
<v Speaker 1>bad about the people that not necessarily you don't love

0:21:24.920 --> 0:21:27.199
<v Speaker 1>or don't wouldn't want to be there. But everybody has

0:21:27.200 --> 0:21:28.800
<v Speaker 1>a cap everybody has a budget, so there's only a

0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:32.240
<v Speaker 1>certain amount of people you can invite. So that would

0:21:32.240 --> 0:21:34.119
<v Speaker 1>be my advice is making sure that the people that

0:21:34.160 --> 0:21:36.719
<v Speaker 1>you want to be there are there, because that was Honestly,

0:21:36.760 --> 0:21:39.760
<v Speaker 1>my favorite part is the fact that like Dean was

0:21:39.920 --> 0:21:43.720
<v Speaker 1>at the wedding and also my cousin from you know, Coventry,

0:21:44.080 --> 0:21:46.600
<v Speaker 1>and it's so crazy that I love them both and

0:21:46.920 --> 0:21:50.399
<v Speaker 1>they're both huge parts of my lives, but yet they've

0:21:50.400 --> 0:21:52.679
<v Speaker 1>never met, never interacted, and it's so like to have

0:21:52.800 --> 0:21:56.960
<v Speaker 1>those moments where I felt like my my separate lives

0:21:57.440 --> 0:22:00.240
<v Speaker 1>came together was probably the best part for me. For

0:22:00.320 --> 0:22:03.080
<v Speaker 1>money purposes, I mean, just put money into the things

0:22:03.119 --> 0:22:06.560
<v Speaker 1>that you desperately want. Uh. I. Of course you have

0:22:06.600 --> 0:22:09.800
<v Speaker 1>a budget and you want to save money, but like

0:22:09.840 --> 0:22:12.199
<v Speaker 1>if there's something that you've always dreamt of, whether it

0:22:12.280 --> 0:22:16.119
<v Speaker 1>be a band or a certain moment, a wedding cake,

0:22:16.840 --> 0:22:19.280
<v Speaker 1>I would really prioritize and put money into the things

0:22:19.320 --> 0:22:21.640
<v Speaker 1>that you really wanted and the things that you're kind

0:22:21.640 --> 0:22:24.160
<v Speaker 1>of indifferent about than just don't worry about those things.

0:22:24.160 --> 0:22:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Really focus on the moments and and and and um,

0:22:27.840 --> 0:22:31.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, the the parts of the wedding that you

0:22:31.720 --> 0:22:35.600
<v Speaker 1>really want to spend money on. That's my best advice, um,

0:22:35.600 --> 0:22:39.000
<v Speaker 1>my advice. My favorite thing about Jared's wedding was, without

0:22:39.000 --> 0:22:41.000
<v Speaker 1>a doubt, the open bar. So that's my advice is

0:22:41.040 --> 0:22:42.679
<v Speaker 1>if you're gonna have a wedding, have an open bar.

0:22:44.920 --> 0:22:47.359
<v Speaker 1>I think my favorite part of the wedding is I

0:22:47.400 --> 0:22:50.280
<v Speaker 1>think think the most important is the DJ to like

0:22:50.400 --> 0:22:52.679
<v Speaker 1>a good m C and a good DJ to like

0:22:53.040 --> 0:22:56.320
<v Speaker 1>get the crowd going and dancing, because I feel like

0:22:56.680 --> 0:22:58.760
<v Speaker 1>you don't remember the decor, You don't remember anything like

0:22:58.800 --> 0:23:01.439
<v Speaker 1>you do remember like the dance bar. So for me,

0:23:01.880 --> 0:23:04.200
<v Speaker 1>so it's my favorite. For sure, Mark, do you remember

0:23:04.200 --> 0:23:07.399
<v Speaker 1>anything about your wedding? It was twenty years ago this summer.

0:23:07.400 --> 0:23:09.480
<v Speaker 1>As a matter of fact, U, yes, remember a lot.

0:23:09.520 --> 0:23:12.320
<v Speaker 1>And I was just reading. Actually recently a woman posted

0:23:12.400 --> 0:23:14.520
<v Speaker 1>something about what she wasted money on that she would

0:23:14.520 --> 0:23:16.280
<v Speaker 1>like to tell brides, don't waste your money on this.

0:23:16.359 --> 0:23:19.399
<v Speaker 1>So how perfect isn't do these her wedding shoes. No

0:23:19.440 --> 0:23:21.679
<v Speaker 1>one ever saw them because they were under the dress.

0:23:21.840 --> 0:23:23.640
<v Speaker 1>She spent so much money on her wedding shoes. She'll

0:23:23.680 --> 0:23:25.159
<v Speaker 1>never wear them again and no one ever saw them.

0:23:25.200 --> 0:23:29.080
<v Speaker 1>Waste the money. Also, the invitations, they're going right in

0:23:29.119 --> 0:23:31.120
<v Speaker 1>the garbage. There's really no reason. It's been a lot

0:23:31.119 --> 0:23:34.040
<v Speaker 1>of money on invitations. And also she said she got

0:23:34.040 --> 0:23:36.040
<v Speaker 1>like a special fragrance for the big day and it

0:23:36.080 --> 0:23:39.119
<v Speaker 1>was really expensive and nobody noticed that. Nobody cares. So

0:23:39.200 --> 0:23:41.560
<v Speaker 1>those are things maybe don't worry about. But I do

0:23:41.640 --> 0:23:44.160
<v Speaker 1>have advice for your fiance, and this is an advice

0:23:44.320 --> 0:23:47.280
<v Speaker 1>for all guys who are getting married. If you are

0:23:47.359 --> 0:23:51.080
<v Speaker 1>asked for your opinion, give it. The last thing they

0:23:51.119 --> 0:23:53.600
<v Speaker 1>want to hear is I don't care. Whatever, I don't care,

0:23:53.760 --> 0:23:56.560
<v Speaker 1>you do it, it's fun. Whatever. Don't do that. Give

0:23:56.600 --> 0:23:58.920
<v Speaker 1>an opinion now, if you have a difference of opinion.

0:23:59.200 --> 0:24:04.680
<v Speaker 1>She wins but have an opinion. Yeah, I agree with you,

0:24:04.760 --> 0:24:08.360
<v Speaker 1>but also, at least in my relationship, my opinion really

0:24:08.359 --> 0:24:11.680
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter because I, as Mark said, if I have

0:24:11.720 --> 0:24:14.320
<v Speaker 1>a different opinion. A perfect example is there we just

0:24:14.359 --> 0:24:17.399
<v Speaker 1>bought this I don't know Ottoman or I don't know.

0:24:17.480 --> 0:24:19.680
<v Speaker 1>It's something that's in the living room and I was like, well,

0:24:19.720 --> 0:24:22.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't like that, because she's like do you like this?

0:24:22.080 --> 0:24:23.320
<v Speaker 1>To do not like this? And I was like, well,

0:24:23.359 --> 0:24:25.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't like it, and she was like, well I do,

0:24:25.600 --> 0:24:27.800
<v Speaker 1>and I was like okay, and then he was there

0:24:27.840 --> 0:24:31.160
<v Speaker 1>the next day. So that's how much my opinion matters. Dared,

0:24:31.200 --> 0:24:33.159
<v Speaker 1>Was there anything that you guys thought about that you

0:24:33.280 --> 0:24:38.040
<v Speaker 1>won over? Um? No, I think I got you know,

0:24:38.320 --> 0:24:39.960
<v Speaker 1>I got lucky. You guys know that Ashley and I

0:24:40.000 --> 0:24:41.840
<v Speaker 1>are usually on the same page on a lot of things.

0:24:42.080 --> 0:24:45.960
<v Speaker 1>Uh So trying to think of something that because I mean,

0:24:45.960 --> 0:24:47.840
<v Speaker 1>the biggest thing for me was getting married in Rhode

0:24:47.840 --> 0:24:49.600
<v Speaker 1>Island and she was like, yeah, I love it, and

0:24:49.640 --> 0:24:53.640
<v Speaker 1>I was like that's great, Okay, great, mine was outside.

0:24:53.680 --> 0:24:56.119
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to be outside, so that was that worked out. Actually,

0:24:56.119 --> 0:24:57.440
<v Speaker 1>it was really hot that day, so it didn't work

0:24:57.440 --> 0:25:00.640
<v Speaker 1>out great, but it was a ceremony. Um. One other

0:25:00.680 --> 0:25:03.000
<v Speaker 1>thing I'll say is as an audience, which is not

0:25:03.040 --> 0:25:06.520
<v Speaker 1>a word, but should be as an audience. Keep you

0:25:06.560 --> 0:25:10.159
<v Speaker 1>want a quicker ceremony, and then let's get to the party.

0:25:10.440 --> 0:25:13.719
<v Speaker 1>I hate the gap when you guys go take pictures

0:25:13.720 --> 0:25:15.120
<v Speaker 1>for an hour and a half and we're just sitting

0:25:15.160 --> 0:25:17.400
<v Speaker 1>there waiting for you short to show up at the reception.

0:25:17.440 --> 0:25:21.080
<v Speaker 1>That's super boring. Quicker reception, keep it moving, make it

0:25:21.160 --> 0:25:23.679
<v Speaker 1>unique to you, not like a fill in the blank thing.

0:25:23.720 --> 0:25:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Make it feel like you, guys and things that you like,

0:25:27.640 --> 0:25:30.439
<v Speaker 1>and then get to that reception quickly. Yeah. But if

0:25:30.440 --> 0:25:33.000
<v Speaker 1>there's an open bar in that meantime, you know, in

0:25:33.040 --> 0:25:49.200
<v Speaker 1>that purgatory phase, then take what else we got Mark.

0:25:49.440 --> 0:25:53.040
<v Speaker 1>This is from Lily Dan. It's for you cool. Dana

0:25:53.119 --> 0:25:54.879
<v Speaker 1>said a few times that he almost did not go

0:25:55.000 --> 0:25:57.200
<v Speaker 1>back to Paradise to ask Klin to leave with him,

0:25:57.200 --> 0:25:59.040
<v Speaker 1>and that he was going to wait until Calin left

0:25:59.040 --> 0:26:01.960
<v Speaker 1>the show and then just mess did her Dean, when

0:26:01.960 --> 0:26:04.200
<v Speaker 1>you made the decision, did you already know that Calin

0:26:04.320 --> 0:26:06.720
<v Speaker 1>was seeing someone else? What do you think would have

0:26:06.760 --> 0:26:08.879
<v Speaker 1>happened if you had not gone back? Would you be

0:26:08.920 --> 0:26:12.040
<v Speaker 1>together today? Dean? Also said that he sent a long

0:26:12.160 --> 0:26:14.720
<v Speaker 1>message to Carolin before its tiden to go back. What

0:26:14.760 --> 0:26:17.520
<v Speaker 1>did you say in that message? Oh, that's funny. I

0:26:17.640 --> 0:26:19.040
<v Speaker 1>I could probably pull it up. It would take a

0:26:19.040 --> 0:26:22.320
<v Speaker 1>while to find though. Um did I know that Calin

0:26:22.400 --> 0:26:25.400
<v Speaker 1>was seeing someone else? I think the reason I left

0:26:25.480 --> 0:26:29.240
<v Speaker 1>was because I wanted her. Well, we, me and another

0:26:29.280 --> 0:26:31.800
<v Speaker 1>person there had decided it was probably in Caylin's best

0:26:31.840 --> 0:26:34.080
<v Speaker 1>interest for me to leave, so that way she could

0:26:34.640 --> 0:26:37.280
<v Speaker 1>fully pursue a relationship with someone that she was excited

0:26:37.320 --> 0:26:40.520
<v Speaker 1>to me. Does that make sense? Uh? It really self

0:26:40.600 --> 0:26:42.840
<v Speaker 1>was moved with me, if I do say so myself. Uh.

0:26:42.880 --> 0:26:44.159
<v Speaker 1>And then the other one was what do you think

0:26:44.160 --> 0:26:46.320
<v Speaker 1>would have happened if I had not gone back? So yeah,

0:26:46.359 --> 0:26:49.720
<v Speaker 1>as you alluded to, I sent her a message and uh,

0:26:49.800 --> 0:26:51.359
<v Speaker 1>when you get put down there, I think all three

0:26:51.400 --> 0:26:53.880
<v Speaker 1>of us can attest to this is when you're down there,

0:26:53.920 --> 0:26:56.840
<v Speaker 1>you think, like every decision you make his life or death,

0:26:56.920 --> 0:26:59.919
<v Speaker 1>and there's no life outside of the bubble that you're in.

0:27:00.200 --> 0:27:02.040
<v Speaker 1>But in reality, all you're there. You're there for three

0:27:02.040 --> 0:27:03.879
<v Speaker 1>weeks in your home and then everything goes back to normal.

0:27:04.040 --> 0:27:05.960
<v Speaker 1>But you like, it's so hard to perceptualize the fact

0:27:05.960 --> 0:27:08.199
<v Speaker 1>that you can get home and like pick up your

0:27:08.200 --> 0:27:09.920
<v Speaker 1>phone and call someone because you haven't had your phone

0:27:09.920 --> 0:27:11.160
<v Speaker 1>in so long, and it's just like it doesn't make

0:27:11.200 --> 0:27:14.480
<v Speaker 1>sense for you. Um. So I think that when we

0:27:14.520 --> 0:27:16.840
<v Speaker 1>got back, like Calen would have been four days into

0:27:16.840 --> 0:27:19.520
<v Speaker 1>a relationship, and I would have been able to weasel

0:27:19.600 --> 0:27:21.560
<v Speaker 1>my way into it somehow, I guess. I don't know.

0:27:21.640 --> 0:27:23.119
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if if she would have even let

0:27:23.160 --> 0:27:25.600
<v Speaker 1>me do that, but uh probably would have made an

0:27:25.600 --> 0:27:27.520
<v Speaker 1>effort too. And I was going to do that until

0:27:27.560 --> 0:27:29.000
<v Speaker 1>I sat down with Jared and I was like, Jared,

0:27:29.000 --> 0:27:30.280
<v Speaker 1>what should I do? And Jared was like, go to

0:27:30.480 --> 0:27:32.399
<v Speaker 1>go go get her back. You're freaking idiot, and I

0:27:32.400 --> 0:27:33.960
<v Speaker 1>was like, yeah, you're probably right, that's a good idea.

0:27:34.040 --> 0:27:37.080
<v Speaker 1>I'll never forget that conversation. Yeah, in the back in

0:27:37.080 --> 0:27:41.159
<v Speaker 1>the producer room at the because I walked in and

0:27:41.200 --> 0:27:43.399
<v Speaker 1>I was like, Holy, you're back already, and you were

0:27:43.440 --> 0:27:45.199
<v Speaker 1>like yeah, but I think I'm going back down and

0:27:45.200 --> 0:27:47.159
<v Speaker 1>I was like what And then you told me what

0:27:47.280 --> 0:27:49.359
<v Speaker 1>happened and then you were like, yeah, I'm gonna go

0:27:49.400 --> 0:27:50.879
<v Speaker 1>back down for Calin And I was like, Okay, are

0:27:50.920 --> 0:27:53.679
<v Speaker 1>you going back down to go to Paradise and the like,

0:27:53.720 --> 0:27:55.560
<v Speaker 1>if you don't go with Calin, get with Calin, you're

0:27:55.560 --> 0:27:57.760
<v Speaker 1>gonna stay, or you're just going for Kalin. If you

0:27:57.760 --> 0:27:59.680
<v Speaker 1>don't get with her, you're gonna come back. And you're like, oh, well,

0:27:59.760 --> 0:28:01.840
<v Speaker 1>we'll only going for Calin. And I was like, bro,

0:28:02.400 --> 0:28:04.639
<v Speaker 1>you're going to be the White Knight. You can go

0:28:05.200 --> 0:28:08.639
<v Speaker 1>on that plane, go get Kalin. And I was like,

0:28:08.720 --> 0:28:11.720
<v Speaker 1>she's not going to say no, Like do you not

0:28:11.720 --> 0:28:14.800
<v Speaker 1>not to you know, keep just kissing his ask. I'm like,

0:28:14.840 --> 0:28:17.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, like who you are, what you look like?

0:28:17.480 --> 0:28:20.760
<v Speaker 1>She's not gonna say no. You can keep too in

0:28:20.800 --> 0:28:23.199
<v Speaker 1>my horn if you want. Dean, Dean, did you know

0:28:23.240 --> 0:28:26.200
<v Speaker 1>when you left that you're gonna like immediately you're gonna

0:28:26.240 --> 0:28:27.760
<v Speaker 1>want to dat her again? Or do you just like

0:28:28.000 --> 0:28:30.920
<v Speaker 1>try to release it at all? What do you mean

0:28:31.359 --> 0:28:33.520
<v Speaker 1>like when you're leaving when to her to date someone else, Like,

0:28:33.560 --> 0:28:35.280
<v Speaker 1>did you think like, oh, Sho'll probably break up with

0:28:35.320 --> 0:28:39.160
<v Speaker 1>that person and we'll probably date immediately? Well, No, I

0:28:39.240 --> 0:28:41.640
<v Speaker 1>knew the second I got there. There was like she

0:28:41.760 --> 0:28:43.520
<v Speaker 1>told me right away. She was like, yeah, I was

0:28:43.560 --> 0:28:46.120
<v Speaker 1>really excited to meet this contrast guy. And I was

0:28:46.160 --> 0:28:48.840
<v Speaker 1>like oh, I know. Contrast, he's always attractive, UM, he

0:28:48.920 --> 0:28:51.960
<v Speaker 1>seems nice and smart, all those things that would excite

0:28:51.960 --> 0:28:54.560
<v Speaker 1>you to date someone. UM. So I knew that he

0:28:54.640 --> 0:28:59.080
<v Speaker 1>was coming in the next day, and my producer friend

0:28:59.080 --> 0:29:01.240
<v Speaker 1>on the show knew that I, like, I wasn't really

0:29:01.240 --> 0:29:03.400
<v Speaker 1>taking anything very seriously, and he was like he likes

0:29:03.440 --> 0:29:04.800
<v Speaker 1>pulled me aside and he's like, do you think about it?

0:29:04.880 --> 0:29:06.880
<v Speaker 1>Like you like this girl, but like you're not taking

0:29:06.920 --> 0:29:09.600
<v Speaker 1>it seriously, you should leave and like give so give

0:29:09.640 --> 0:29:11.360
<v Speaker 1>her the chance to be with someone that is going

0:29:11.400 --> 0:29:13.800
<v Speaker 1>to take her seriously. Um. And so that was kind

0:29:13.800 --> 0:29:15.440
<v Speaker 1>of the consensus where I was like, oh, you're right,

0:29:15.440 --> 0:29:16.680
<v Speaker 1>you know that is it is kind of a dick

0:29:16.720 --> 0:29:17.920
<v Speaker 1>move for me to be here, just I kind of

0:29:17.920 --> 0:29:21.440
<v Speaker 1>waste her time. And then I left, UM and I

0:29:21.480 --> 0:29:23.040
<v Speaker 1>was gone for a couple of days, and I was like,

0:29:23.080 --> 0:29:24.400
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I think I am going to take

0:29:24.520 --> 0:29:26.520
<v Speaker 1>this seriously. And so I texted the producer and I

0:29:26.560 --> 0:29:29.040
<v Speaker 1>was like, we made the wrong decision. I should come back,

0:29:29.080 --> 0:29:30.640
<v Speaker 1>and he's like, I don't know if you can come

0:29:30.640 --> 0:29:33.560
<v Speaker 1>back yet, but let me let me see if I

0:29:33.560 --> 0:29:35.720
<v Speaker 1>can pull some strings and get something UM set up.

0:29:35.760 --> 0:29:37.200
<v Speaker 1>And they texted me the next day. He's like, you're

0:29:37.200 --> 0:29:39.440
<v Speaker 1>on a flight tonight at eight pm. You're coming back.

0:29:40.000 --> 0:29:41.719
<v Speaker 1>And the thing too was I thought that they were

0:29:41.720 --> 0:29:44.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna let me let us date down in Paradise. But

0:29:44.440 --> 0:29:46.400
<v Speaker 1>then I got there and I was like, yeah, it's like,

0:29:46.400 --> 0:29:47.880
<v Speaker 1>when I talked to her, what do I say? They're like,

0:29:47.880 --> 0:29:49.640
<v Speaker 1>blah blah blah. Just make sure at the end of

0:29:49.640 --> 0:29:52.479
<v Speaker 1>whatever you say, make sure you tell her that she

0:29:52.520 --> 0:29:55.280
<v Speaker 1>has to leave Paradise with you right this very moment.

0:29:55.320 --> 0:29:56.520
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, what. I didn't know that that

0:29:56.560 --> 0:29:57.720
<v Speaker 1>was part of the deal. I thought that I was

0:29:57.760 --> 0:29:59.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna like come back to the beach and like hang

0:30:00.000 --> 0:30:03.280
<v Speaker 1>out for the last couple of days. The producer is

0:30:04.040 --> 0:30:07.280
<v Speaker 1>you should be thanking them every day because that is

0:30:07.320 --> 0:30:10.719
<v Speaker 1>an example of somebody having your best interest. Because that

0:30:10.800 --> 0:30:14.240
<v Speaker 1>was the right move, and if you stayed down there,

0:30:14.280 --> 0:30:18.560
<v Speaker 1>it wouldn't have been as impactful as it was. And oh,

0:30:18.640 --> 0:30:21.520
<v Speaker 1>whoever that that is a friend right there, whoever, whoever

0:30:21.560 --> 0:30:23.320
<v Speaker 1>told you that you're absolutely right, It made way more

0:30:23.360 --> 0:30:25.200
<v Speaker 1>of a statement and it was. It was the perfect scenario.

0:30:25.280 --> 0:30:27.080
<v Speaker 1>There's no question to asked, uh, And it would have

0:30:27.080 --> 0:30:28.880
<v Speaker 1>been weird, like being down there while she was like,

0:30:28.920 --> 0:30:31.720
<v Speaker 1>still they got like navigating any feelings with Connor, So

0:30:31.920 --> 0:30:35.360
<v Speaker 1>while you're trying to find that message, dude, My favorite

0:30:35.400 --> 0:30:38.520
<v Speaker 1>moment ever from Paradise I talked about on the podcast prior,

0:30:38.880 --> 0:30:41.560
<v Speaker 1>but happened in that moment when you came down the

0:30:41.600 --> 0:30:46.240
<v Speaker 1>stairs and looking as dashing as ever and you took

0:30:46.320 --> 0:30:48.480
<v Speaker 1>Kalen to the side, and Contrast was sitting on the

0:30:48.560 --> 0:30:51.280
<v Speaker 1>day bed with who is your ex? Who did you

0:30:51.360 --> 0:30:55.680
<v Speaker 1>date in the first season in Paradise, Christina Christina, and uh,

0:30:56.480 --> 0:30:58.760
<v Speaker 1>Contrast is like, I'm not worried. I'm not worried. No, no,

0:30:58.960 --> 0:31:01.160
<v Speaker 1>I feel like we have a strunken action. And Christina

0:31:01.200 --> 0:31:04.680
<v Speaker 1>looked at at Connors like have you met Dean? And

0:31:04.720 --> 0:31:08.240
<v Speaker 1>he goes and she goes, and I was like, oh,

0:31:08.400 --> 0:31:10.320
<v Speaker 1>Ashley and I turned to each other when that moment

0:31:10.320 --> 0:31:14.480
<v Speaker 1>came by and was like that was awesome. He never

0:31:14.520 --> 0:31:19.880
<v Speaker 1>said he never stood a chance. I don't. I don't know.

0:31:19.920 --> 0:31:22.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know what. Yeah, he's doing, he's doing fine.

0:31:22.560 --> 0:31:24.480
<v Speaker 1>I think he's got a girlfriend now to actually um

0:31:24.520 --> 0:31:26.560
<v Speaker 1>and he's a nice guy too. It we're like not friends,

0:31:26.560 --> 0:31:28.960
<v Speaker 1>but we're definitely gorged with each other. I not enemies

0:31:29.520 --> 0:31:32.040
<v Speaker 1>not enemies. I mean I don't have a no issue

0:31:32.080 --> 0:31:33.800
<v Speaker 1>with him, But are you still trying to find the

0:31:33.840 --> 0:31:36.320
<v Speaker 1>message that was I'm going through like my very first

0:31:36.360 --> 0:31:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Instagram message that I sent Kalin, which is you know

0:31:39.160 --> 0:31:41.760
<v Speaker 1>you like send a lot of messages here to Ashley.

0:31:41.800 --> 0:31:44.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure right, Oh yeah, Well I'm curious how far

0:31:44.280 --> 0:31:46.280
<v Speaker 1>back are you right now? Like, are you even close?

0:31:46.720 --> 0:31:50.800
<v Speaker 1>I am at November nine, so I like six more

0:31:50.800 --> 0:31:53.480
<v Speaker 1>months to go, but you probably talked to most on

0:31:53.560 --> 0:31:56.280
<v Speaker 1>Instagram in those six months. So now you're just what

0:31:56.320 --> 0:31:58.240
<v Speaker 1>do you mean we had like we basically lived lived

0:31:58.280 --> 0:32:00.640
<v Speaker 1>together essentially right away. So if anthing, you probably take

0:32:00.680 --> 0:32:03.720
<v Speaker 1>the lass because you know we're talking face to face.

0:32:03.880 --> 0:32:05.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm close. I'm like three months away. Just give me,

0:32:05.640 --> 0:32:08.200
<v Speaker 1>like give me thirty seconds. Phil a void or something

0:32:08.280 --> 0:32:12.320
<v Speaker 1>someone else. He's done. It's like, I'm not gonna sit

0:32:12.360 --> 0:32:15.720
<v Speaker 1>down and wait for this. Heather, will we ever see

0:32:15.760 --> 0:32:19.240
<v Speaker 1>you back in Paradise? You think, no, no, no, no, no,

0:32:20.880 --> 0:32:25.160
<v Speaker 1>never say never. It's it's just not for me. Yeah,

0:32:25.960 --> 0:32:30.120
<v Speaker 1>in Canada a couple of years ago doing Season two.

0:32:30.400 --> 0:32:34.800
<v Speaker 1>I guess so, but yeah, it's just it's just me.

0:32:35.120 --> 0:32:37.080
<v Speaker 1>I just can't see it, you wouldn't want to do

0:32:37.160 --> 0:32:39.959
<v Speaker 1>the Canadian version If I don't want to do it's

0:32:40.000 --> 0:32:44.800
<v Speaker 1>more in what way like I did Batchel in Paradise,

0:32:44.840 --> 0:32:49.600
<v Speaker 1>Australia before ashe and I were together. This is and

0:32:49.640 --> 0:32:52.840
<v Speaker 1>I've heard Canada. It was all right, but it's definitely

0:32:52.880 --> 0:32:55.840
<v Speaker 1>way more low key, like you can, like of a

0:32:55.840 --> 0:32:57.920
<v Speaker 1>good example is you know how we told this story

0:32:57.960 --> 0:33:00.880
<v Speaker 1>last week in the podcast. I'll talk very briefly on

0:33:00.920 --> 0:33:02.719
<v Speaker 1>the American version. And it's like you go to bed

0:33:02.760 --> 0:33:04.720
<v Speaker 1>at two in the morning, you're up by eight, there's

0:33:04.720 --> 0:33:06.840
<v Speaker 1>always a camera on you, you're always miked up, but

0:33:06.880 --> 0:33:11.080
<v Speaker 1>you're never left alone. This is wildly different. Like we'd

0:33:11.080 --> 0:33:12.760
<v Speaker 1>wake up at like ten in the morning, I just

0:33:12.800 --> 0:33:16.000
<v Speaker 1>durmed on to breakfast, no Mike's, no cameras we did.

0:33:16.120 --> 0:33:18.640
<v Speaker 1>We'd hang out with everybody, talk about what happened the

0:33:18.720 --> 0:33:22.040
<v Speaker 1>night before, not being filmed, and then like noon one

0:33:22.040 --> 0:33:24.600
<v Speaker 1>o'clock would roll around, they'd start making you up and

0:33:24.600 --> 0:33:27.600
<v Speaker 1>start filming for the day. But like by that time,

0:33:27.800 --> 0:33:30.880
<v Speaker 1>it was just like it was so chill and low key.

0:33:31.560 --> 0:33:33.040
<v Speaker 1>Do you feel like it made it more real or

0:33:33.080 --> 0:33:38.000
<v Speaker 1>like more fake? Like when you're actually on camera. I

0:33:38.040 --> 0:33:43.040
<v Speaker 1>think it didn't either, more real, It didn't really affect that.

0:33:43.080 --> 0:33:48.760
<v Speaker 1>I think what it affected was the overall um entertainment value.

0:33:49.040 --> 0:33:52.160
<v Speaker 1>You know. The American version is so entertaining because because

0:33:52.200 --> 0:33:56.040
<v Speaker 1>we're always on camera and do stupid things, they have everything,

0:33:56.560 --> 0:33:58.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, and so I feel like the other versions

0:33:58.520 --> 0:34:00.280
<v Speaker 1>are just a little bit more low key, which means

0:34:00.320 --> 0:34:03.240
<v Speaker 1>it's not as dramatic or as stressful or you know,

0:34:03.320 --> 0:34:06.280
<v Speaker 1>you don't get as good as stuff. Totally do something

0:34:06.320 --> 0:34:08.399
<v Speaker 1>to keep in mind, Heather, what is it like when

0:34:08.440 --> 0:34:10.440
<v Speaker 1>you when you start dating someone and you tell them

0:34:10.480 --> 0:34:12.040
<v Speaker 1>that you were on The Bachelor? Does it has it

0:34:12.080 --> 0:34:16.040
<v Speaker 1>ever met with like criticism or anything? Uh? No? I

0:34:16.360 --> 0:34:19.000
<v Speaker 1>mean think yeah, no, they I mean the last person

0:34:19.040 --> 0:34:22.040
<v Speaker 1>that I did knew that I was. They knew before,

0:34:22.360 --> 0:34:23.719
<v Speaker 1>you know. So I don't think there ever been the

0:34:23.719 --> 0:34:26.399
<v Speaker 1>thing a situation where it's like to like and this

0:34:26.640 --> 0:34:28.239
<v Speaker 1>I was on, you know, like I didn't never to

0:34:28.520 --> 0:34:32.200
<v Speaker 1>reveal it in any sort of way. Okay, that's good,

0:34:32.280 --> 0:34:35.160
<v Speaker 1>that's helpful. All right. How close are you because I

0:34:35.200 --> 0:34:37.680
<v Speaker 1>was broadcast up, I was. I thought we started doing

0:34:38.239 --> 0:34:44.520
<v Speaker 1>we started in I'm November nineteen, so I'm like four

0:34:44.560 --> 0:34:48.319
<v Speaker 1>months away. Jared did you meet someone in Australia or no. No,

0:34:48.719 --> 0:34:51.080
<v Speaker 1>I actually made I lasted there for two weeks and

0:34:51.120 --> 0:34:52.719
<v Speaker 1>made it through like five verse over. It is not

0:34:52.800 --> 0:34:55.520
<v Speaker 1>kissing anybody. It was quite pathetic. I don't know how

0:34:55.520 --> 0:34:57.920
<v Speaker 1>the hell I did it. Did you not like anyone

0:34:57.920 --> 0:35:00.520
<v Speaker 1>at all? No? There was one girl what I liked,

0:35:00.600 --> 0:35:02.959
<v Speaker 1>but she was a little bit younger and unsure about

0:35:03.000 --> 0:35:06.279
<v Speaker 1>what she wanted to do, and and she liked someone else,

0:35:06.280 --> 0:35:08.279
<v Speaker 1>and there was like a complicated situation. So after a

0:35:08.280 --> 0:35:10.640
<v Speaker 1>couple of days it just like fizzled out. And then

0:35:10.640 --> 0:35:14.920
<v Speaker 1>of course, like you know, then she wanted to be

0:35:15.080 --> 0:35:17.200
<v Speaker 1>with me after a while, and then it was just

0:35:17.480 --> 0:35:21.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of and honestly, throughout this entire time, Uh, I

0:35:21.040 --> 0:35:26.040
<v Speaker 1>was honestly thinking of Ashley, because that was the I'll

0:35:26.040 --> 0:35:28.000
<v Speaker 1>never forget sitting down on a bench talking to a

0:35:28.000 --> 0:35:30.320
<v Speaker 1>particular girl, and I was like, I just wish Ashley

0:35:30.400 --> 0:35:34.120
<v Speaker 1>was here, so much easier and more comfortable, and just

0:35:34.200 --> 0:35:35.839
<v Speaker 1>I want to be with her. And then that's you know,

0:35:35.960 --> 0:35:38.480
<v Speaker 1>obviously she was filming Winter Games, and so I came

0:35:38.520 --> 0:35:42.400
<v Speaker 1>back home and then she was off filming still with Dean,

0:35:43.080 --> 0:35:46.040
<v Speaker 1>and uh, you know, that's where the whole thing started,

0:35:46.760 --> 0:35:48.920
<v Speaker 1>don't even't do anything? Was at a turning point you

0:35:48.960 --> 0:35:53.400
<v Speaker 1>think then that kind of made you realize, like, oh yeah,

0:35:53.440 --> 0:35:55.359
<v Speaker 1>I mean I always kind of knew, but I think

0:35:55.360 --> 0:36:00.680
<v Speaker 1>it was just another um, you know, another slap in

0:36:00.719 --> 0:36:05.440
<v Speaker 1>the face being like, chard you can do something, my god, yeah,

0:36:05.840 --> 0:36:07.960
<v Speaker 1>and then you did it. From then I did it,

0:36:08.120 --> 0:36:12.960
<v Speaker 1>and now we have that little Dawson. He's a good one.

0:36:13.040 --> 0:36:15.400
<v Speaker 1>All right. How close are you? I got it. It's funny.

0:36:15.440 --> 0:36:17.799
<v Speaker 1>I haven't read it since I sent it. Oh wait,

0:36:17.840 --> 0:36:19.480
<v Speaker 1>can you don't read it? Don't read it out loud.

0:36:19.520 --> 0:36:24.920
<v Speaker 1>I want to hear reactions. Okay, if you want to,

0:36:25.000 --> 0:36:27.880
<v Speaker 1>you don't have to. But no, it's just a little embarrassing.

0:36:27.920 --> 0:36:30.319
<v Speaker 1>But I've done worse on this podcast. So uh. At

0:36:30.400 --> 0:36:34.640
<v Speaker 1>June seventeen, I sent it at ten in the morning,

0:36:34.920 --> 0:36:37.799
<v Speaker 1>you said, screenshot this. I'm sorry about how things had

0:36:37.840 --> 0:36:40.279
<v Speaker 1>to end there. I've done some reflecting and agree with

0:36:40.320 --> 0:36:41.960
<v Speaker 1>you that it was up of me to make a

0:36:42.000 --> 0:36:44.360
<v Speaker 1>decision that affected us both. But I hope you know

0:36:44.440 --> 0:36:45.920
<v Speaker 1>I made it because I thought it was what you

0:36:45.920 --> 0:36:48.279
<v Speaker 1>needed to flourish and make the most of your time

0:36:48.280 --> 0:36:50.399
<v Speaker 1>down there. I think there was still a lot left

0:36:50.480 --> 0:36:52.359
<v Speaker 1>unsaid not sure where your head will be at when

0:36:52.360 --> 0:36:54.040
<v Speaker 1>you make it out of there, but if you're up

0:36:54.040 --> 0:36:55.680
<v Speaker 1>for it, it would be good to hear from you

0:36:55.880 --> 0:36:58.279
<v Speaker 1>nothing oh, wishing you nothing but the best. And I

0:36:58.400 --> 0:37:02.839
<v Speaker 1>left at my phone number. I thought at all, it's just,

0:37:03.080 --> 0:37:05.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, just a little like a peek into the

0:37:05.960 --> 0:37:08.080
<v Speaker 1>way that I say things to people. It's just I

0:37:08.080 --> 0:37:12.320
<v Speaker 1>don't know, it's very cute. That was a lot of scrolling.

0:37:12.320 --> 0:37:14.279
<v Speaker 1>Holy cow, I didn't realize how much we've message each

0:37:14.320 --> 0:37:16.040
<v Speaker 1>other on Instagram. Also, how cool of it is for

0:37:16.120 --> 0:37:20.600
<v Speaker 1>it to still be your Instagram all screenshot it, we'll

0:37:20.640 --> 0:37:24.719

0:37:24.760 --> 0:37:28.839
<v Speaker 1>we'll blur out that. Oh that's right. I'm sorry Mark

0:37:28.920 --> 0:37:32.240
<v Speaker 1>for that. So okay, So there's That was the longest

0:37:32.280 --> 0:37:35.879
<v Speaker 1>answer to any email question we've ever had. UM. Long

0:37:35.880 --> 0:37:37.880
<v Speaker 1>story short. I'm glad I went back. I'm glad I

0:37:37.880 --> 0:37:40.000
<v Speaker 1>have friends like Jared who pushed me in the right direction.

0:37:40.760 --> 0:37:45.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad that I have a girlfriend who decided to

0:37:45.280 --> 0:37:47.840
<v Speaker 1>take me back after three days of me making that decisions.

0:37:47.840 --> 0:37:49.319
<v Speaker 1>So you know, it could have been a lot worse,

0:37:49.360 --> 0:37:51.400
<v Speaker 1>but here we are. I was thinking of calin earlier

0:37:51.400 --> 0:37:55.840
<v Speaker 1>because someone came in and talked about Cam ABC. Oh yeah,

0:37:56.040 --> 0:37:58.840
<v Speaker 1>and uh because they were like, oh, my favorite contestant

0:37:58.880 --> 0:38:02.680
<v Speaker 1>is Cam ABC showed me which I totally forgot about.

0:38:02.800 --> 0:38:05.720
<v Speaker 1>He did like a rap for his intro in Paradise

0:38:05.760 --> 0:38:09.040
<v Speaker 1>that included Kalin, and I think he liked Caitlin, had

0:38:09.040 --> 0:38:11.040
<v Speaker 1>a big crush on Kalin, and I was like, oh

0:38:11.080 --> 0:38:13.400
<v Speaker 1>my god, I forgot about that. Cam. Cam is a

0:38:13.480 --> 0:38:16.239
<v Speaker 1>nice guy. Um that he wrote her, He wrote her

0:38:16.239 --> 0:38:20.719
<v Speaker 1>a letter. That's because they kissed, and um, Calin wasn't

0:38:20.719 --> 0:38:22.520
<v Speaker 1>ashamed about it, but she just, you know, she wanted

0:38:22.520 --> 0:38:24.000
<v Speaker 1>to move on past it, and so I would bring

0:38:24.000 --> 0:38:25.920
<v Speaker 1>it up sometimes She's like to tease her. And he

0:38:25.920 --> 0:38:28.040
<v Speaker 1>wrote her a letter and he on the letter he said,

0:38:28.320 --> 0:38:30.239
<v Speaker 1>I can still taste the hell of peni a rita

0:38:30.440 --> 0:38:34.840
<v Speaker 1>on your lip. And so for the longest time, I

0:38:34.880 --> 0:38:37.200
<v Speaker 1>would she would taste, like take a sip of her

0:38:37.239 --> 0:38:38.880
<v Speaker 1>drink and I would kiss her real quick and be like,

0:38:39.239 --> 0:38:43.560
<v Speaker 1>I can still taste that peach mimosa on your lips. God,

0:38:46.719 --> 0:38:48.680
<v Speaker 1>all the best of Cam. It was just a simple

0:38:48.680 --> 0:38:50.319
<v Speaker 1>little tease. I guess you know he's thinking a good

0:38:51.440 --> 0:38:53.120
<v Speaker 1>all right, that's gonna do it. For this week's episode
