When someone yells at your hometown, you 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:05.640 feel excited and you're like, oh, so that I've lost. However, 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:07.760 I wasn't expecting the rhyme with Bobby Bones and I 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:12.120 was like, oh, I just worked or something. It was. 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:13.600 It was a it was a low hanging fruit. We 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:16.320 had to get it. Um. So let's kind of start 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:19.120 at the beginning here. I know you guys from knowing 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:22.880 Kane Brown, right. I think Kane is what interest who 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:26.279 introduced me to you guys? So Garrett, what's the situation. 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:30.160 How do you guys know Kine? Well, Colton. Colton can 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:33.200 probably tell you that. So, um, we know came from 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:36.280 back in two thousand and thirteen. We were all on 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:39.680 the TV show The X Factor together and that's kind 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:44.080 of where Russell's Roads started. And um, we were kind 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:46.760 of all we all met each other in Los Angeles 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:49.880 and Hollywood week and um, it was we were kind 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:52.000 of all pitted against each other, or so we thought, 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:55.000 and then um, coming to find out, No, they were 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:58.600 all along trying to set up this for this four 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:02.240 person group, and Kane was supposed to be in Wrestless Road. 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:05.080 But then Kane decided he wanted to go on and 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:08.760 to solo stuff and he became the Kane Brown that 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:13.000 everybody knew some loves. And we continued. So, Zach, when 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:16.120 you're from whichaw, Kansas? My family actually lives there now, 0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:18.440 but I was born and raised in Iowa. Then I 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:21.280 lived in Michigan and Pennsylvania. My dad, he's a choir director, 0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:23.960 so he got a job at Wichita State University. So 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:26.520 that's why I call home now. Okay, shocker shout out. 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:29.720 So your home now is Wichita? Well, I just call 0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:32.599 home wherever my family lives from. Hon't you live here? 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:34.839 That's tough. And then the thing where so you moved 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:37.680 around a whole lot and your dad was a choir instructor. Yeah, 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:41.880 he's a choir director. So does was he hard on you? No? Honestly, 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:44.240 I wouldn't actually ever let him hear me sing. It 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:46.520 was weird. I don't know what it was like. I 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:48.080 wanted to prove it on my own or something. I 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:50.880 would never let him help me sing. And I eventually 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:54.560 joined choir myself. He wasn't my teacher, but I joined 0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:56.440 because I was moving school so much. I needed to 0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:59.040 do something to kind of make friends and I kind 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:00.840 of fit in, so I just kept up with it. 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:03.640 And yeah, it's my dream honestly to do like a 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:05.760 choir remix to one of our songs and have my 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:07.760 dad come out and like conduct the choir. So with 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:11.600 the stick he's got this actually got him a custom 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:15.200 one for Christmas. There. It's called ah but Tom. I 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:18.400 don't know, actually don't know, but yeah, the choir guy's son. 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:21.120 You should know, you're Yeah, you're you're you're a son 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:24.200 and you I've never been in a choir before. Yeah, 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:27.080 he's got the stick and everything. So rest the name 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:30.880 Restless Road what is the what's the genesis of that? 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:33.440 I wish it had a really cool story. I don't 0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:35.520 know what came first, the name or the meaning let's 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:38.520 make up. Let's just make up a name that they've 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:40.560 really told us, you know, on the show, they said, hey, 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:41.920 we need a name by the end of the day. 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:44.560 And we were coming up with just everything we could 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:47.880 and nothing was sticking, and we just said restless road. 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:50.080 And the guy was like, man, that sounds like some 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:53.280 and we never looked back, you know, And now now 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:54.880 I feel like it kind of has taken on its 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:57.960 own meaning. This whole journey to get to this point 0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:00.560 in life in general, for everybody, it's it's a wrestless road. 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:02.400 It's it's you never know what you're gonna get. And 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:05.200 we have this whole catchphrase and it's called keep your 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:07.520 eyes on the road, and it's just all about staying 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:09.920 focused on your dream and your goal. And that's kind 0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:11.680 of so it's kind of I feel like developed the meaning. 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:13.960 I'm gonna give you a meaning. So when you guys met, 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:17.400 you hit it off, and you all were like on 0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:19.600 ancestry dot com or one of those sites, and you 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:21.800 realize when you look back into your history that all 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:25.559 of your grandparents lived on Restless Avenue, but Wrestless Avenue 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:29.360 didn't sound good, so crazy coincidence that they all live 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:30.800 in the same place because they were all fighting for 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:34.800 America in World War One and they lived on Wrestless Avenue. 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:36.320 And you're like, wow, we can't believe that we're all 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:39.080 matched together. This has got to be some sign from God. 0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:41.199 And so instead of Wrestless Avenue, you're like, let's just 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:43.880 say Restless Road because it sounds better. And then now 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:48.400 representing USA U three Restless Road, that's your new story. 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:50.040 You can have it free. Well I'm glad you said 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:52.480 that because my free trial on answertry dot com ran 0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:54.720 out before I got Okay, that's great. You know what's 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:57.000 really ironic though, that you say that my grandpa after 0:08:57.080 --> 0:08:59.480 we were on the show, he changed the name of 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:01.760 my home the road that we lived one in our hometown. 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:04.640 And it's not a total lie, so let's go literally live. 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:07.920 He really did change it. And then he got really 0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:10.360 mad because my grandpa's like kind of a recluse, so 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:14.160 he doesn't like people. And so there was two like 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:16.800 there was people stopping by because when we were rolling 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:18.440 the show. People were wanting to stop by and see 0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:21.880 where this was. And he went out there and chopped 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:24.679 the whole sign down and never put it back out. 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:27.040 So I don't know if it's still legally Wrestless Road, 0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:29.240 but we're gonna we're gonna say it is Wrestless Avenue. 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:32.800 That whole situation works. So what's the living situation with 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:34.959 you guys? You guys live together? Me and Zach do. 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:38.120 We live Overnice, Nashville and Colton. He has a beautiful family, 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:39.839 he's married, he has two little girls. Why don't you 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:41.320 move in with them? He's got to have room. Now, 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:42.839 I don't I don't know. I don't know if he 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:44.400 I don't know if he can handle two more for 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:48.679 the phone calls. Dude, So are you guys known as uncle? Oh? Yeah, 0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:52.000 we're Uncle Gee and Uncle Zach. Yeah. And your kids 0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:55.000 are how old? Two and four? I mean you're like sixteen? 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:56.760 How do you have to get kids? I know, man, 0:09:57.040 --> 0:10:01.760 I've been married for seven years too already. Wow, twenty 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:05.400 and so? Yeah, and you grew up where West Virginia? 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:08.160 Now did you ever make the walk to Tennessee? And 0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:12.920 I say that because Eddie did from West Virginia. I 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:15.840 know a few people that's done it. Um, y'all are 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:19.960 a different breed of people. Man, I lived I lived 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:22.200 out there, and I don't think that you couldn't catch 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:26.200 me walking that far. It's it is a long walk. Colton. 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:30.000 What what's your hometown? Like? Small? Real small? Um? We 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:34.559 had uh, we have one one stop sign, one gas station, um, 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:38.640 and it there's about two. Last time they did a census, 0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:40.640 there was two hundred and seventy two people in the town. 0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:44.600 So everybody knows everyone. Um. But it's it's honestly really 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:47.520 cool because I feel like, uh, just West Virginia in general, 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:50.200 they tend to rally around people that are doing stuff 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:51.760 because not a lot of people get out of West 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:55.719 Virginia and and do something. So, UM, it's been it's 0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:58.160 been a really awesome experience and being able to go back. 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:02.480 They actually, I don't know if this is this is 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:05.439 it's weird, but they put I've seen you have a 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:08.240 sign in your hometown and they put home of Colton 0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:11.040 pack um in front of mine, which was a really cool, 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:14.120 really cool moment um. So they're they're definitely proud. It's 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:16.880 it's it's a really cool a really cool thing and 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:18.839 I love to get to go back when I can. So, 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:23.000 so you're from West Virginia and then Zach like where 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:24.800 it is? I know you see your family in which 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:26.920 town now? But to you, where's home? As a kid, 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:30.120 you gotta be you gotta pick a place? Where would 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:32.920 it be? It's it's really hard. Um. I've always said 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:34.440 I kind of feel like I don't have a hometown. 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:36.480 Maybe we'll write a song about it. That's crazy that 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:38.520 you feel that you feel like you don't have a hometown. Um, 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:41.079 but in a lot of ways, it's it's something that 0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:43.559 my dad would would apologize for later on and be like, 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:45.280 I'm really sorry that, you know, we had to move around. 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:48.560 But I actually really value and appreciate that experience because 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:50.400 it really forced me to come out of my show 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:54.800 and uh just adapt the new situations. And I've applied 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:57.079 that a lot to what we're doing today. Um. But 0:11:57.600 --> 0:12:01.160 I feel sad for him now. I feel sad for 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:05.079 you being acquired director. You know, military, you expect I 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:08.240 feel like you have a hometown. Yeah, well I got 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:09.839 friends in a lot of places. I got you know, 0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:12.559 I loved my Michigan friends. That was kind of where 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:14.959 I feel like I that's where I started singing. That's 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:19.000 where I did this time town East Lansing. Okay, there 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:21.079 it is. There's his hometown. Okay. My question would be 0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:22.880 if like you were playing Monday night football and he's like, 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:26.240 you know, I'm from home too, Mountain Pine Ark and 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:29.320 tell Bob. You'd be like, oh, I don't have a hometown. 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:30.760 Or we'd be like, I gotta change it because I 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:33.679 feel sad again he watch football now, you know, but 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:36.320 I like it. I like your attitude about it. Um, 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:42.640 Whenever you guys started playing together, did you feel like, oh, man, 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:44.360 I kind of wanted to be solo and now we're together. 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:47.160 Was that that kind of a process to get through? 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:48.880 Or we like, man, we actually are a lot better 0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:52.280 together than we were by ourselves. This is way more 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:54.760 fun being a group. This, yeah, would be. I just think, 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:57.640 you know, being a group obviously comes with more challenges. 0:12:57.640 --> 0:12:59.760 You're gonna have to make some sacrifices, and I'm sure 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:01.719 there's things that we don't even know about down the 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:04.679 road we're gonna have to work together on. But for me, 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:08.079 it's just so much fun. There's no joke. They're my 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:10.840 best friends and we and everyone thinks that we're brothers, 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:14.040 but it feels like it and it's just we we 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:16.839 love making music together and we just love what we do, 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:20.640 and um, you still like each other. Yeah, we haven't 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:22.920 had a we haven't had a blowout yet. You really haven't, 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:25.840 and we really have it. But we're honestly, I feel 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:29.000 like we're pretty we're pretty good about like communication skill 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:32.440 as soon as Yeah, if something's like a problems arising immediately, 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:34.199 we just we just say how we feel. When we 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:36.760 work it out, we say, we say it, we get 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:40.120 past it, and we move on. Is there a voting protocol? 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:43.559 Like if hey, two one you know wins, how do 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:45.199 you guys do that? Well? I think I think what's 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:47.280 cool about us is, you know, over the years that 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:49.880 we've been together, like we all came from different places. 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:52.920 We have very different voices and styles. But I think 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:54.840 that's what's cool is we kind of bounce off each other, 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:57.360 and you know, it's it's cool to hear their perspective 0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:59.880 because I might think, you know, something sounds cool, but 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:03.079 they'll have a different perspective, and you know, it's it's 0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:05.600 cool to bounce ideas off each other and then kind 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:07.280 of be like, hey, maybe I wasn't right, maybe that 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:10.360 was a little cooler. So you're from Tuscaloos, Alabama, I am, 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:13.720 how's that working out for you? Well? I always tell 0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:16.520 people this, um, because you know, people either love or 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:18.720 hate that you're from Tuscaloosa. They're like, oh, real tied 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:21.560 or they're like, oh dude, no. But when I turned 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:23.440 to when I started talking, my parents said, you can 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:25.440 either live with us here at home or we're gonna 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:27.480 take you to the woods and you can figure it out. 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:29.360 You gotta be a real tied fan. I said, okay, 0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:31.400 so you're forced into it. Yeah. I grew up there. 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:33.640 I was there till I was eighteen, moved to Nashville after, 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:35.560 so I kind of have to be yah. See, I 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:38.560 am not. I feel a bit the opposite. I actually 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:40.680 really enjoy going to Tuscaloosa. But I am not an 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:44.400 Alabama fan at all. But I'm just jealous that you 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:47.280 guys are really good, and so I take that out 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:50.840 on you. But my hatred is jealousy. Yeah, I don't know. 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:53.520 It's it's been weird, like with all the football success, 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:56.480 you know, it's been weird watching sports growing up because 0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:59.440 when I was a young kid. We didn't have Nick Saban. 0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:01.680 I think he a huge part of that. But yeah, 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:04.120 it was crazy seeing seeing where they were and how 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:06.160 they are now. It was just a big change. And 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:08.360 you get do three hometown shows whenever you're touring, like 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:11.160 all right, we're gonna do Yeah, Well there, I promise you. 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:14.520 There's probably no chance we're ever going to my hometown. 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:17.400 There's there's not enough people. Yeah, we will think we're 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:19.120 going to Yeah, we gotta go back. Hey when we 0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:21.240 are going to West Virginia. So I kind of take 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:23.120 West Virginia as my whole home. I feel the same 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:25.080 way about our can saw anywhere I can saw. This's 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:27.720 like exactly exactly. You guys are all over. I'm looking 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:29.160 at all these dates that you guys are doing. And 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:33.600 so when you play a live show and it's you three, like, 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:36.360 are you able to cover the whole? I mean musically, 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:38.200 you guys have it all right here with you three. 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:40.400 I mean, I'm sure you got a drummer, but like, what, 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:42.120 what's what do you guys doing there on the set? 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:45.240 Tell him about our guitars? Um, Yeah, So it's actually 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:48.640 so Garrett plays guitar, Zach plays guitar. I play guitar 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:52.120 and piano UM and uh, it's really cool. So I 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:56.080 went to UM. Our lead guitar player is actually from 0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:58.800 my high school. So he moved to Nashville. I used 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:01.760 to try to get him to move to Nashville early 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:05.120 on because he's just unbelievable at what he does. And 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:08.360 he actually moved to Nashville where I did. After all 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:13.280 that time, and then when the opportunity arise, I told him. 0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:15.000 I said, man, we'd love to have you in the band. 0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:17.120 And he's been playing with us. So it's been really 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:19.880 cool to get to see two people from the middle 0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:23.720 of nowhere, West Virginia on the big stage show. I 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:27.360 guess I asked that because you know, you gotta pay people. True, 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:30.960 you know, and at one point the Wrestless Road money 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:33.120 is gonna be coming in pretty good. I hope. Right 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:35.040 now you're trying to figure it out. You know, he 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:37.720 got all those mouths to feed it is. That's very true. 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:39.680 That's very true. I mean, right now we do have 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:41.960 a drummer and in a lead guitar player, but other 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:44.240 than that, we kind of that's pretty full sounding. That's 0:16:44.240 --> 0:16:46.440 pretty awesome, you guys, can I hope you go and 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:49.480 see Wrestless Road because they have so many dates. Um 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:51.120 and we'll tell you just a second about that. But 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:53.280 the thing that interests me to about new artists is 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:54.880 when they get asked to do something like The Bachelor, 0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:56.440 like to perform on that show, because I just feel 0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:58.280 so awkward because do you have to do it over 0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:01.200 and over again? Did it any way to dive into this? 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:04.240 Oh yeah, because that's that to me, that's always fascinating. 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:05.639 And have a few friends that have done it, and 0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:08.360 it just feels weird. So what who did they bring 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:11.320 you in for? And what was the scene? We were 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:15.280 episode four on Clayton's season, and all we knew going in. 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:17.239 We were huge fans of the show, by the way, 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:19.119 so when we found out, we were just so pumped 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:20.600 to be there and we're asking you have to say 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:21.879 that if you do it, like it's in the contract. 0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:25.080 Probably for eight or nine years now, we've watched it. 0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:28.200 Religious Oh oh yeah, we know, we knew all the facts, 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:31.840 Like we keep up, we can ask us anything. We won't, 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:34.560 but I believe you. Yeah, it's the most dramatic season 0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:38.560 of the Bachelor coming out coming up. Anyways, where did 0:17:38.560 --> 0:17:41.199 they send to you just La. We were actually in Houston, 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:43.440 so we had finished a show we were opening with Kine. 0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:45.920 We've finished the show, flew to Houston and it was 0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:48.480 a date at this like farmhouse. It was a barbecue 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:51.760 date that they were on, and so during the daytime 0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:54.159 portion we were kind of kept secret and we were 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:56.720 asking the producers a million questions, how how's the show work? 0:17:56.760 --> 0:17:59.359 We had like a million questions. And then by the 0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:02.119 time the eight dinner I'm using air quotes because they 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:05.480 don't actually eat the food. They eat dinner at around 0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:09.440 midnight and then there's this big sliding door and we're 0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:11.280 on the other side of it and when the producers 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:14.639 just like, hey, whenever that door opens, just start and uh. 0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:17.119 The suspense was just killing us because we had to 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:19.720 be totally silent. It was like eight minutes went by. 0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:21.520 I didn't tell us. They're like, they're like, just watch 0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:24.240 that door and be ready to play, and whenever it opens, 0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:26.360 just scowed it. And we're like, I'm like sitting there 0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:29.000 for I met you forty minutes, just waiting, waiting, waiting, 0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:31.680 and they're it's dead silent. Everybody's whispering. And then the 0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:34.480 producers like out her earpiece and she's like, she's crying. 0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:40.040 The girl's crying, she's and the door finally opened. Yeah, 0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:42.760 and they walked through and they were mean five feet 0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:45.800 away from us and just went for the instant makeout 0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:49.320 and uh, that's really what was What was challenging was 0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:51.639 was keeping the straight face because you can't you have 0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:53.360 to look at him. You can't not look at them, 0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:55.760 but then you feel weird both ways. But it's weird 0:18:55.840 --> 0:18:57.320 both ways. You don't look at him, You're like, we're 0:18:57.440 --> 0:18:59.520 performing to them, but then they're like making out, you know, 0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:01.879 and then then you're just like, my mow for this, 0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:03.720 you only do it one time, we did it a 0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:08.040 few they had to keep kissing. Well, so what was funny? Yeah, 0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:13.320 right after Clayton did this big, massive speech and I 0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:15.399 mean it was like it was perfect. It was the 0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:19.160 perfect speech, and then the producers go, can you please 0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:21.560 say exactly what you said, just like you said it? 0:19:21.960 --> 0:19:23.560 He said, I like those words you use. I like 0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:26.040 to use more of those words. So instead of doing 0:19:26.119 --> 0:19:28.359 the speech, they were just like, no, we're just gonna 0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:30.480 make outens. So then they continue to do that and 0:19:30.640 --> 0:19:33.640 he kept trying to have to stop them and yeah 0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:35.639 it was. We got like two or three minutes with 0:19:35.720 --> 0:19:37.680 him off camera, and they did seem to be like 0:19:37.760 --> 0:19:42.040 all over each other, don't even to the bitter end, 0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:44.320 and she was. It was Rachel, I'm not gonna, you know, 0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:47.960 spoil anything, but Colton wen any finales. Wait, I don't 0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:51.600 even know if this is like it came out like 0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:54.560 what a week like two weeks ago. If you saw it, 0:19:54.640 --> 0:19:57.200 it was the biggest train wreck of a finale. Like 0:19:57.280 --> 0:20:01.600 the guy did probably you know everything, and the girl 0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:03.800
