0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:57.800
<v Speaker 1>are you watching this new season of Love Is Blind?

0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:02.000
<v Speaker 1>I am? I am watching this new season? Crazy? Right? Well,

0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:03.640
<v Speaker 1>what do you think of it? Because you got to

0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:06.479
<v Speaker 1>watch your first season back? I mean, yes, you nailed

0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:08.560
<v Speaker 1>on the head is crazy, but watching it now as

0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:12.560
<v Speaker 1>like a non contestant you know what, I think that

0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:14.720
<v Speaker 1>this season is so much different from ours for a

0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:17.520
<v Speaker 1>lot of different reasons. And like you said, I do

0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:20.440
<v Speaker 1>kind of have that kind of you know, I know

0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:22.880
<v Speaker 1>what it's like being on the other side, right, So

0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:25.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm watching it as kind of the spectator and somebody

0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:28.000
<v Speaker 1>who understands. And I got to tell y'all, it's some

0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:32.240
<v Speaker 1>interesting people on this season, and it's some interesting love stories.

0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:36.959
<v Speaker 1>That's what I'm saying. It's very very entertaining. Yeah, and

0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:39.160
<v Speaker 1>I just gotta preface, please know spoilers. I have not

0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:43.840
<v Speaker 1>seen the reunion yet. Okay, I'm glad. Yeah, so let's

0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:46.000
<v Speaker 1>keep it, keep it up to episode twelve or whatever

0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:49.120
<v Speaker 1>the ending is. Uh no, you're you're agree with my girlfriend.

0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:52.400
<v Speaker 1>I've been saying the same thing about this season. Season one, um,

0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:55.760
<v Speaker 1>like with you and Cameron and I can't remember the

0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:57.880
<v Speaker 1>other two the other couple that I liked, but they're

0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:00.960
<v Speaker 1>not like normal but like people that you would like

0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:02.600
<v Speaker 1>be friends with in real life. You know, this season

0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:05.480
<v Speaker 1>you're kind of like you're kind of like like watching

0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:10.440
<v Speaker 1>through your fingers with the contestants. Yeah too, I think

0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:12.480
<v Speaker 1>that with any like the first season of the show,

0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:15.640
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of like we didn't really know fully what

0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:18.120
<v Speaker 1>we were walking into. So I think that us kind

0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:21.079
<v Speaker 1>of having that just open heart and open mind is

0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:23.200
<v Speaker 1>going to be a lot different than a season two

0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:25.120
<v Speaker 1>of any show because they kind of know how it

0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:28.320
<v Speaker 1>works a little bit, they know what they're walking into.

0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:31.280
<v Speaker 1>So I also think, like you said, because it was

0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:33.400
<v Speaker 1>season one, you guys didn't know what the show was

0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:36.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna be. You know, I think you can kind of

0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:39.360
<v Speaker 1>related to Bachelor a little bit. Were Bachelor people would

0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:41.480
<v Speaker 1>go on the show because you got to go on TV,

0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:43.079
<v Speaker 1>of course, but you went on for love and there

0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:45.680
<v Speaker 1>was this fantasy and romance. And now with social media,

0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:47.160
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of changed a little bit where a lot

0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:49.079
<v Speaker 1>of people are going on the show hoping that they

0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:51.200
<v Speaker 1>garner a big following they can kind of build their

0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:53.720
<v Speaker 1>own business. So I think for you guys would Love

0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:55.919
<v Speaker 1>is Blind. It was the first season, nobody knew, Hey,

0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:57.360
<v Speaker 1>was this going to be a huge hit? What is

0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:00.639
<v Speaker 1>this show even gonna be? And then now obviously Love

0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:03.519
<v Speaker 1>is Blind it really I don't think this is hyperbole,

0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:06.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of like captivated the nation, and so I think

0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:10.520
<v Speaker 1>people went on season two, uh, for maybe not different reasons,

0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:14.720
<v Speaker 1>but alternative motives at times. Yeah, absolutely agree with that.

0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:17.360
<v Speaker 1>I noticed that too. I feel like, or maybe I'm

0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:20.160
<v Speaker 1>walking watching through like this stupid lens. But season one

0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:22.160
<v Speaker 1>felt a lot more authentic, and season two, I feel

0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:25.200
<v Speaker 1>like people are saying yes to proposals just because they

0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:27.120
<v Speaker 1>want exactly what Jared was just talking about, you know,

0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:29.960
<v Speaker 1>like the moment, the fifteen minutes of fame or whatever

0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:31.600
<v Speaker 1>that comes along with it. Because I know there's a

0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:33.360
<v Speaker 1>lot of people, I feel like they just kind of

0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:35.800
<v Speaker 1>say yes, and I'm like, wait, yeah, I have nothing

0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:39.360
<v Speaker 1>in common, Like that's what I'm saying. I really can

0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:42.040
<v Speaker 1>not drying conversations at all on the season too. I'm

0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:44.160
<v Speaker 1>like just watching. I feel like a little bit star stuck, mom,

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 1>because I am just watching season one right now, and

0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:49.200
<v Speaker 1>I feel like your friends. I feel like I'm like

0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:52.880
<v Speaker 1>best friends to you right now the past two days.

0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:56.240
<v Speaker 1>But I feel like they're not showing I feel like

0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:57.800
<v Speaker 1>on season one they showed a lot more like in

0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:00.520
<v Speaker 1>depth conversations, and in season two is just kind of like,

0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:02.840
<v Speaker 1>how do you guys even know each other at all?

0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:07.160
<v Speaker 1>If there's something it's weird agreed, agreed, and I know

0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:09.280
<v Speaker 1>that you know, we all know because we've all been

0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:11.920
<v Speaker 1>on reality how you know, the editing can play a

0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:14.280
<v Speaker 1>little like maybe it's some stuff that we didn't see,

0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:17.479
<v Speaker 1>but just from what we saw seeing on the show,

0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:20.640
<v Speaker 1>it didn't seem like it was a lot of build up.

0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:23.200
<v Speaker 1>A lot of things just seemed kind of like, alright,

0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:27.640
<v Speaker 1>I like you, so let's get married. So totally yeah, Lauren,

0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:30.279
<v Speaker 1>how are things going with you in your relationship right now? Oh?

0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:33.160
<v Speaker 1>Things are going great. We've been married almost four years.

0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:38.040
<v Speaker 1>That's crazy saying that's like, yeah, four years because we

0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:39.840
<v Speaker 1>were married a year and a half before Love is

0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:43.719
<v Speaker 1>Blind even came out, so that added check on like

0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:46.240
<v Speaker 1>extra time. And now I can't believe like our season

0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:49.440
<v Speaker 1>have lived premiere like two years ago. So can you

0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:55.400
<v Speaker 1>say something real quick? Your husband is gentlemen? Oh my god,

0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:57.120
<v Speaker 1>I need to take a picture of you doing that.

0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:04.240
<v Speaker 1>You just done. Come on, look at the guy. I

0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:08.200
<v Speaker 1>love that YouTube YouTube. From the very beginning, I felt

0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:10.560
<v Speaker 1>like and and it shows just through you guys popularity

0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:12.560
<v Speaker 1>as a couple, like everyone kind of knew that you

0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:14.360
<v Speaker 1>two were like perfect for each other. It seemed like

0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:18.680
<v Speaker 1>thank you. Yeah, it's crazy, how man, it's almost we

0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:21.640
<v Speaker 1>feel like it was the universe brought us together. Not

0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:24.720
<v Speaker 1>to sound like cliche or like corny and stuff, but

0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:27.840
<v Speaker 1>even like going into it, we both went into it

0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:30.239
<v Speaker 1>with the open heart, but neither of us really expected

0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:32.320
<v Speaker 1>to get married. So the fact that we've been married

0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:34.440
<v Speaker 1>for four years and we're so happy and we found

0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:38.040
<v Speaker 1>each other, it's like a true blessing. We're so grateful. Yeah,

0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:41.240
<v Speaker 1>do you think your relationship changed from the year and

0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:44.800
<v Speaker 1>a half before you were a quote public relationship to

0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:47.440
<v Speaker 1>afterwards what it is now, for better or for worse.

0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:50.920
<v Speaker 1>I honestly feel like it got stronger, believe it or not,

0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.240
<v Speaker 1>just because from the year and a half from when

0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:56.359
<v Speaker 1>we got married to everything that's happened since then since,

0:05:56.480 --> 0:06:00.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, including like the pandemic and lockdown and everything

0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.440
<v Speaker 1>just the whole. I feel like that felt like five

0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:06.600
<v Speaker 1>years and one. So I feel like we just grew

0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:08.760
<v Speaker 1>so much during that time and just learned a lot

0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:11.560
<v Speaker 1>about each other. And of course, you know, we'll always

0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:14.120
<v Speaker 1>cherish that year and a half that we have before

0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:18.159
<v Speaker 1>our relationship kind of became this public thing, because that

0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:20.640
<v Speaker 1>was our sacred time, So nothing will ever cap that.

0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:23.640
<v Speaker 1>But I feel like we're even stronger now. Yeah, were

0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:26.320
<v Speaker 1>you guys allowed to be out together before the show

0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:28.479
<v Speaker 1>aired at all. We could be out together, but we

0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:31.000
<v Speaker 1>couldn't post any photos or anything like, like we can

0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:34.000
<v Speaker 1>only tell our close friends. So whenever we were going

0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:36.080
<v Speaker 1>like vacations and stuff, I would have to make it

0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:38.320
<v Speaker 1>look like I was with like some sugar daddy and

0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:42.720
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't posting the man like on vacation, like how

0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:45.280
<v Speaker 1>many vacatients are you gonna take? Lauren? Like what are

0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:49.000
<v Speaker 1>you doing? So yeah, you would tell you your close

0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:51.440
<v Speaker 1>friends that you're married. You couldn't tell like anyway, so

0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:53.480
<v Speaker 1>you're like legitally married for you're going to have and

0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:58.000
<v Speaker 1>just could not go yeah crazy, And that year and

0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:00.240
<v Speaker 1>a half, it's just like it was so much through

0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:02.960
<v Speaker 1>our minds outside of you know, being newly web but

0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:04.760
<v Speaker 1>just like, oh my god, when the show comes out,

0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:06.880
<v Speaker 1>there so many people that don't even know we're together

0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:10.440
<v Speaker 1>and married, and even some family members because you know,

0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:14.400
<v Speaker 1>it's just a lot to explain. So I just they'll see,

0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:17.920
<v Speaker 1>they'll see it. What's been what's been the hardest part

0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:20.320
<v Speaker 1>about not just that that whole experience, but even like

0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:24.280
<v Speaker 1>the relationship with your you guys, um the hardest part

0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:28.560
<v Speaker 1>of the relationship. I would say really just being married

0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:31.880
<v Speaker 1>in general, I feel like is hard work. You know,

0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:35.440
<v Speaker 1>it's not easy. All relationships require work, but I feel

0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:38.120
<v Speaker 1>like being married it's not just about you anymore. You

0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:40.920
<v Speaker 1>have to kind of give up that selfish part of

0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:42.720
<v Speaker 1>you because now you're a part of a team and

0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:47.080
<v Speaker 1>you're a partner. And for me, that can be hard,

0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:49.840
<v Speaker 1>just because I you know, prior to love is blind.

0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Prior to being married and everything, I was such a

0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:55.679
<v Speaker 1>like home body loner. I still am, Like I enjoy

0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:57.920
<v Speaker 1>I love my private time, Like just put me in

0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:00.640
<v Speaker 1>a room somewhere, closed the door. I'm so happy about myself,

0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:04.360
<v Speaker 1>like my favorite company, and I think being buried. I

0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:06.560
<v Speaker 1>really had to adjust a lot of that. So that's

0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:09.640
<v Speaker 1>been hard, but you know, we're growing in more and

0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:12.800
<v Speaker 1>more every every year every day. That's surprising to hear

0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:14.400
<v Speaker 1>because between the two of you, it seems like you're

0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:17.400
<v Speaker 1>way more like extroverted and you thrive off that social

0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:19.720
<v Speaker 1>I am, but it's like I like to call it

0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:22.600
<v Speaker 1>that my recovery time. Like I love people, I love

0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:27.560
<v Speaker 1>being around people, I love talking. Clearly, I also really

0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:30.320
<v Speaker 1>value my time when it's just me and quiet. You know,

0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:32.439
<v Speaker 1>I feel like with our life as you guys know,

0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:35.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, working in the public eye and stuff, and

0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:38.560
<v Speaker 1>even with social media, it's just like I really value

0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:52.920
<v Speaker 1>that time when it's just quiet. Yeah, so what have

0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:55.160
<v Speaker 1>you been doing since the show? You've obviously got your

0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:57.079
<v Speaker 1>podcast if you want to talk about that a little bit.

0:08:57.440 --> 0:09:00.760
<v Speaker 1>So we have our podcast. We have the Receipts. It

0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:04.680
<v Speaker 1>just premiered this week. It's doing great. I'm so excited

0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:07.520
<v Speaker 1>that everyone's loving it. And basically, you know, we talk

0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:11.240
<v Speaker 1>about all things reality, pop culture, um, all of the

0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:13.920
<v Speaker 1>shows that Netflix has, and we just kind of read

0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:16.760
<v Speaker 1>the receipts. Honey, we tell it how it is, we

0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:19.679
<v Speaker 1>give our opinions, and we have fun. I like to say,

0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:21.760
<v Speaker 1>it's a fun way to really connect with the fans

0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:24.079
<v Speaker 1>in a different way and just come and laugh and

0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:26.320
<v Speaker 1>we just enjoy that time. And that's what we want

0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:28.959
<v Speaker 1>the listeners to do too. It's like an our party.

0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:33.360
<v Speaker 1>So why the name we have the Receipts. It's it's

0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:35.920
<v Speaker 1>super interesting name and it definitely makes me want to

0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:37.640
<v Speaker 1>listen because I'm like, we have the receipts, what does

0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:40.439
<v Speaker 1>that mean? But also it's quite intimidating because anytime I

0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:45.280
<v Speaker 1>hear we have the receipts, I'm like, oh, right, but

0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:48.120
<v Speaker 1>we have the receipts is almost like a term slay,

0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:50.480
<v Speaker 1>meaning like, oh, I have the receipts. I have the proof,

0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:52.920
<v Speaker 1>like you know, I got it. And on our show,

0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:55.480
<v Speaker 1>we also feature a lot of like behind the scenes things.

0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:57.600
<v Speaker 1>We talked to a lot of people who are actually

0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:00.120
<v Speaker 1>on the shows that we're talking about. We have some

0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:02.960
<v Speaker 1>clips that people have never seen before behind the scenes

0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:05.800
<v Speaker 1>as well, so it's like we're talking about this stuff, y'all,

0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:08.440
<v Speaker 1>but trust me, we have the receipts for everything that

0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:10.880
<v Speaker 1>we're talking about. So that's where it kind of stems from,

0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:13.599
<v Speaker 1>like you know, we got all the info, we have

0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:16.400
<v Speaker 1>the receipts. I respect. And you said, you guys just

0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:21.040
<v Speaker 1>started last week, Greg, Yes, yes, okay, okay, I'll have

0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:24.640
<v Speaker 1>to check that one out. Um. So okay, So back

0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:27.839
<v Speaker 1>to Love's Blind a little bit. So obviously, I feel like,

0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:29.720
<v Speaker 1>especially during the pandemic, it was like one of the

0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:33.520
<v Speaker 1>most bingeable dating shows and with this new season coming out.

0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:36.560
<v Speaker 1>What what Kaylin tried doing my girlfriend tried doing this

0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:41.480
<v Speaker 1>season was she would like cover the TV before they

0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:43.520
<v Speaker 1>introduced themselves to anyone because she didn't want to see

0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:47.800
<v Speaker 1>anyone until they like introduced themselves. Right. Um, So my

0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:50.360
<v Speaker 1>question for you is, when you were talking to Cameron

0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:52.520
<v Speaker 1>in the Pods, did you like envision what he would

0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:56.160
<v Speaker 1>look like before you actually met him. You know, it's

0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:59.360
<v Speaker 1>funny because people ask that question and believe it or not.

0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:03.160
<v Speaker 1>Actually right not to envision like what he would look like,

0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:05.280
<v Speaker 1>because I didn't want to think of something and he

0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:08.600
<v Speaker 1>looked nothing like that. So I was trying not to

0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:13.600
<v Speaker 1>disappoint myself, which I wasn't disappointed at all, but I

0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:15.640
<v Speaker 1>really just tried to focus on like the stuff that

0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:19.319
<v Speaker 1>we were saying and connect like more so on a

0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:21.480
<v Speaker 1>level that wasn't just what he looked like. Of course,

0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:23.880
<v Speaker 1>after we would talk, I'll be thinking, like, I wonder

0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:27.760
<v Speaker 1>if he's tall or you know, shut And I really tried,

0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:30.000
<v Speaker 1>my heart is because it's so easy when you talk

0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:31.800
<v Speaker 1>to someone and you don't see their face and just

0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:34.200
<v Speaker 1>picture what they look like, right, But I just didn't

0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:38.480
<v Speaker 1>want to picture somebody and he looked nothing like that.

0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Do you think there would have been any deal breakers,

0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:43.440
<v Speaker 1>like anything at all if if you met him? I mean,

0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:45.240
<v Speaker 1>obviously it's so hard to say, and like, you know,

0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:47.240
<v Speaker 1>maybe there is, but you don't want to sound like

0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:49.600
<v Speaker 1>an asshole kind of thing, but like it's true, Like

0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:51.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, like if someone is completely the opposite side

0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:53.880
<v Speaker 1>of your whatever your type is, like, then you would

0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:57.160
<v Speaker 1>be kind of immediately turned off deal breakers like physically

0:11:57.160 --> 0:12:02.280
<v Speaker 1>you mean, yeah, like what if you're five ft tall? Yeah? Yeah,

0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:05.079
<v Speaker 1>I've actually dated short guys, which is and I'm tall

0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:07.120
<v Speaker 1>too because I'm like five eight So if I put

0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:09.439
<v Speaker 1>heels on, I'm like, you know, I'm pushing six feet,

0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:13.720
<v Speaker 1>I would I what him being short wouldn't have been

0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:15.400
<v Speaker 1>too bad. And I'll say, if he like didn't have

0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:20.800
<v Speaker 1>any teeth, you know, or like something bad, I would

0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:24.240
<v Speaker 1>have been like, oh, I love you gotta so you

0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:32.120
<v Speaker 1>could get something FA's like like that. Um so, and

0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:33.920
<v Speaker 1>you said marriage is good that between you guys, So

0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.079
<v Speaker 1>what's next? Like marriage wise, you guys gonna have any kids?

0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:38.640
<v Speaker 1>What's going on that first? So we are actively trying

0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:44.120
<v Speaker 1>to get pregnant and while doing it, okay, so yeah,

0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:46.600
<v Speaker 1>we're working on it. We're definitely working on it. So

0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:49.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, throw up a prayer for us. Well, you know,

0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:50.720
<v Speaker 1>Jared might have some advice for you guys, you just

0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:54.640
<v Speaker 1>had a baby five weeks ago. I saw congratulations, Thank

0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:58.200
<v Speaker 1>you very much little Dawson. He's pretty awesome. Yeah, it's crazy.

0:12:58.280 --> 0:12:59.920
<v Speaker 1>We talked about on the podcast all the time, how

0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:02.800
<v Speaker 1>when you get as a kid, you're like, oh, if

0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:05.320
<v Speaker 1>you have sex without a condom, you're definitely getting pregnant,

0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:07.760
<v Speaker 1>and it's like, that's not how it works. It's actually

0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:09.800
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more difficult than you'd imagine you actually

0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:12.280
<v Speaker 1>have to try. So yeah, I wish you guys the

0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:17.600
<v Speaker 1>best of luck than you come to some wisdom, give us,

0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:24.719
<v Speaker 1>give us, uh my man advice. Uh, I would say,

0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:30.240
<v Speaker 1>don't take anything personally, you know, when you're trying. Of course,

0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:33.480
<v Speaker 1>you know my point being as sex as funny, but

0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:36.040
<v Speaker 1>sometimes it can be a little when you're trying to

0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:39.280
<v Speaker 1>have a kid and you're like, okay, we have we

0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:42.440
<v Speaker 1>you have to have you know, sex, at certain times,

0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:46.040
<v Speaker 1>it's like it can be kind of work. So I

0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:49.280
<v Speaker 1>would say, like, sometimes honestly, it would be you know,

0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Actuley and I would have to have conversations to be like,

0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:54.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, because literally okay, they'll be Let me give

0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:56.520

<v Speaker 1>is the fifth day in a row. I'm tired, you know.

0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:17.000
<v Speaker 1>I just yeah, It's like I just I just had

0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:19.120
<v Speaker 1>a piece of cake. Like I'm not feeling my best

0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:22.240
<v Speaker 1>right now, but all right, let's let's do it. Jared,

0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:26.680
<v Speaker 1>and feel free to just strugle this question off if

<v Speaker 1>it was like six weeks, can't do anything next six weeks?

0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:48.040
<v Speaker 1>Uh So, yeah, I haven't reached that yet. I was

0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:51.040
<v Speaker 1>thinking that I don't think anything's going to really change. Honestly,

0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:53.880
<v Speaker 1>it's really up to Actually, she's still it's weird because

0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:57.280
<v Speaker 1>she sore, you know, she's literally peeing her pants. It's

0:14:57.320 --> 0:15:00.360
<v Speaker 1>crazy after birth. She's very open about this. She has

0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:01.960
<v Speaker 1>to wear a diaper. She had a weird diaper because

0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:04.120
<v Speaker 1>it was like she would sneeze and pee. She can't

0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:06.560
<v Speaker 1>control anything down there, which makes sense. She just had

0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:11.720
<v Speaker 1>an eight pound human come out of her. She's that

0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:17.600
<v Speaker 1>women go through happy women's momot because right, women are

0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:22.400
<v Speaker 1>much stronger than men. And I could not do it.

0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:26.520
<v Speaker 1>Um that watermelon challenge, We're like guys strapped the watermelon

0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:29.920
<v Speaker 1>to the to the to their body to like stimulate

0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:31.880
<v Speaker 1>how it feels to be pregnant. I want to see you.

0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:34.560
<v Speaker 1>I want you to make I should do that. I

0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:37.920
<v Speaker 1>should do it just for a day and watching Ashley

0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:40.680
<v Speaker 1>me and you know have actually watched me in agony

0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:43.240
<v Speaker 1>as she will. Should do it for a day and

0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:44.720
<v Speaker 1>go to work in the coffee shop and see how

0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:50.800
<v Speaker 1>it goes. Not a bad idea, it would be good

0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:55.080
<v Speaker 1>for the Graham Lorden. Before we let you go, I've

0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:57.120
<v Speaker 1>got one question because it was pressing me earlier and

0:15:57.120 --> 0:15:59.480
<v Speaker 1>I totally forgot to ask it. What led someone, well

0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:01.320
<v Speaker 1>both of you guys, You and Cameron are both you know,

0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:04.440
<v Speaker 1>conventionally attractive, and you're both intelligent and outgoing. What leads

0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:06.800
<v Speaker 1>someone like you guys to go on that show like

0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:08.840
<v Speaker 1>just a dating show in general, because I guess obviously

0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:10.360
<v Speaker 1>didn't know it was Love is Blind at first, but

0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:12.920
<v Speaker 1>like what was what was kind of the decision making

0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:15.600
<v Speaker 1>process to go on the show. Well, for me, my

0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:19.720
<v Speaker 1>data life stuff. To be honest, it was really terrible

0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:22.760
<v Speaker 1>here in Atlanta, and I was just like tired of

0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:26.600
<v Speaker 1>dating these like super surface dudes who like had nothing

0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:29.720
<v Speaker 1>going for themselves but being like hot, Like okay, I'm

0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:33.120
<v Speaker 1>bored next, you know. So I was really like attracted

0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:35.400
<v Speaker 1>to the show because it was like, okay, well I

0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:37.160
<v Speaker 1>get to date people. I don't get to see them,

0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:40.240
<v Speaker 1>but we get to connect on something deeper than them

0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:43.920
<v Speaker 1>just being hot. And with that I knew that, you know,

0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:45.920
<v Speaker 1>that's what you need to have a relationship that really

0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:48.400
<v Speaker 1>lasts for longevity, you know, trying to get married and

0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:50.800
<v Speaker 1>really find a husband. So that's really what what pulled

0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:53.800
<v Speaker 1>me towards the show is just like, yes, it was refreshing,

0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:58.680
<v Speaker 1>something different, something with some substance hopefully so you or

0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:01.680
<v Speaker 1>did you apply it? They approached me so like this

0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:03.720
<v Speaker 1>casting lady slid in my d M s, and for

0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:05.720
<v Speaker 1>the longest I was like, Okay, this is getting weird.

0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:09.120
<v Speaker 1>Why do you keep thinking about this show? And then

0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:11.560
<v Speaker 1>eventually I was just like, well, let me just see

0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:13.640
<v Speaker 1>what she's talking about. So I ended up emailing her.

0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:15.560
<v Speaker 1>She sent me more information about the show. And then

0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:17.879
<v Speaker 1>that's when I was like, Okay, this is kind of interesting.

0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:20.960
<v Speaker 1>And from then on it was just like, yeah, history,

0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:23.240
<v Speaker 1>did they tell you ten days you had to get

0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:25.679
<v Speaker 1>engaged in ten days? Did they like up front with

0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:30.280
<v Speaker 1>that so quick? It is quick? It well, they don't

0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:33.200
<v Speaker 1>really tell you necessarily ten days and you don't have

0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:35.720
<v Speaker 1>to get engaged, but it's just like you're going to

0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:37.640
<v Speaker 1>and in a short period of time, if you make

0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:40.760
<v Speaker 1>a connection, then you know, maybe they'll be an engagement

0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:43.480
<v Speaker 1>at the end. So they tell us that, you know,

0:17:43.560 --> 0:17:46.119
<v Speaker 1>you could be anywhere from this process from ten days

0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:49.639
<v Speaker 1>to two months, depending on you know, how it is

0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:52.000
<v Speaker 1>with you if you make a connection. So for me,

0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:53.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, all right, I'm just gonna be I'm gonna

0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:56.920
<v Speaker 1>have fun whatever out I got a whole husband four

0:17:57.000 --> 0:18:00.399
<v Speaker 1>years later. It's crazy, My god, were you fan of

0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:02.520

0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:05.359
<v Speaker 1>I was a fan. And it's funny because me and

0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:10.479
