0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:27.479
<v Speaker 1>for having me. Really appreciate it's a great podcast to

0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:29.600
<v Speaker 1>be a part of. Uh. Sorry, I've been a little

0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:33.040
<v Speaker 1>m I A. This coffee shop has been extremely overwhelming

0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:36.519
<v Speaker 1>and time consuming and stressful. And then I had two

0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:38.879
<v Speaker 1>weddings go to last week, one of which was supposed

0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:40.479
<v Speaker 1>to be with you, but you had the flu. But

0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:42.599
<v Speaker 1>you're a good man and you stayed away from everybody,

0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:46.479
<v Speaker 1>and uh, but it's it's been time consuming. I was

0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:48.199
<v Speaker 1>told that Kalen thought that you were making you thought

0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:50.440
<v Speaker 1>I was making a political statement with the mask. No,

0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:54.720
<v Speaker 1>I thought you forgot your um your vaccine card because

0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:57.400
<v Speaker 1>they were checking everybody's vaccine card. And I was like, oh,

0:00:57.480 --> 0:00:59.160
<v Speaker 1>maybe if you're not vactually you have you don't have

0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:01.560
<v Speaker 1>to wear a mask. I didn't know because then I

0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:03.760
<v Speaker 1>just walked in and I saw you with a mask on.

0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:06.840
<v Speaker 1>The only person in the entire ceremony, the only person.

0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:10.440
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, well, he's definitely vaccinated. I know this,

0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:12.800
<v Speaker 1>And then I thought to myself, maybe he just forgot

0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:14.840
<v Speaker 1>his vaccine card and they're they're saying he has to

0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:16.880
<v Speaker 1>wear a mask. But then I later found out that

0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:19.560
<v Speaker 1>you had the flu. You tested positive for the flu,

0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:21.160
<v Speaker 1>so everybody knew it was but you still felt like

0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:22.559
<v Speaker 1>you wanted to wear a mask, and then you didn't

0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:25.760
<v Speaker 1>even go to the reception. You just went to the ceremony. Yeah,

0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:27.720
<v Speaker 1>I had. I would have feel a certain amount of

0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:30.959
<v Speaker 1>guilty if I got anyone sick in any capacity, especially

0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:32.480
<v Speaker 1>like in the state of height and awareness we're in

0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:34.960
<v Speaker 1>right now, and uh, you know, there's some older people

0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:36.720
<v Speaker 1>at the wedding, so like even the flu, I feel

0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:38.880
<v Speaker 1>it could be a pretty serious thing for someone like

0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:41.600
<v Speaker 1>that to get. So I just figured I didn't want

0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:43.840
<v Speaker 1>to miss the ceremony, and I'm glad I didn't. It

0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:47.320
<v Speaker 1>was beautiful, Benn and Jess looked great together. But then

0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:50.160
<v Speaker 1>I was like, well, I just don't feel comfortable going

0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:52.680
<v Speaker 1>to the You don't want to be the guy coughing

0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:56.480
<v Speaker 1>throughout the entire night. Yeah, you see that TikTok, where

0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:59.080
<v Speaker 1>like some guy said he used to cover up his

0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:04.200
<v Speaker 1>farts with a cough and now he covers up his right. Well,

0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:06.000
<v Speaker 1>it was interesting too because I got tested the day

0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:08.800
<v Speaker 1>before the wedding for COVID. I like went in just

0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:11.240
<v Speaker 1>to make sure it wasn't COVID and uh, I was

0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:12.919
<v Speaker 1>like going over my symptoms and they're like, well, hey,

0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:14.679
<v Speaker 1>what does that time you got the flu vaccine? And

0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:16.040
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I don't think I've gotten that in

0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:18.600
<v Speaker 1>over a decade. So they're like, oh, we're gonna test

0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:21.480
<v Speaker 1>for that too, And it's just funny how we get

0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:23.480
<v Speaker 1>all like, you know, getting this COVID vaccine and I

0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:25.839
<v Speaker 1>haven't gotten a flu vaccine and lord knows how long.

0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:27.959
<v Speaker 1>So I guess at the end of the day, like

0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:29.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm happy it was only the fluid and not COVID,

0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:33.160
<v Speaker 1>but um, yeah, it's kind of bummer to Mr Reception.

0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:35.480
<v Speaker 1>But so before Ben's wedding, you were at your best

0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:38.160
<v Speaker 1>friend's wedding. You said, yeah, so the girl that signed

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:39.560
<v Speaker 1>me up to be on the show, our name is Crystal.

0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:42.160
<v Speaker 1>She's my best friend and one of my and her

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.720
<v Speaker 1>fiance is one of my closest friends as well. And

0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:46.720
<v Speaker 1>they got married down and Cancoon. Dude, I've had two

0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:49.640
<v Speaker 1>weddings all years, November twelfth and thirteen. And it's funny

0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:53.600
<v Speaker 1>actually because the my friends who got married Kancoon was

0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:58.000
<v Speaker 1>supposed to get married on Saturday November, but the bride

0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:01.160
<v Speaker 1>of excuse me, the mother of the groom uh is

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.079
<v Speaker 1>very religious and she's like, I don't want my son

0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:05.680
<v Speaker 1>married on the thirteen. I don't know. There's some bad

0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:08.560
<v Speaker 1>luck obviously involved in that, or hopefully not for Ben

0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:12.359
<v Speaker 1>and Jess, But so they moved it to Friday the twelfth,

0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:13.920
<v Speaker 1>which worked out well for me because even though it

0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:15.200
<v Speaker 1>was back to back, at least I got to a

0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:16.720
<v Speaker 1>ten boat. So it was really nice. And Ben and

0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:20.040
<v Speaker 1>Jess's wedding was awesome. Um dude, a lot of people

0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:22.040
<v Speaker 1>for her to people, but it was so nice seeing everybody,

0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:25.280
<v Speaker 1>like I forgot moving back home and being like closer

0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:30.400
<v Speaker 1>to my you know family. It's like, you know, made

0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:33.280
<v Speaker 1>me forget that I have you know you guys in

0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:35.080
<v Speaker 1>other parts of the country that is so much like

0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:37.520
<v Speaker 1>family to me. You know, it's really great. I wish

0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:39.240
<v Speaker 1>we could hang out more. I haven't seen you in forever.

0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:42.480
<v Speaker 1>I haven't seen you since Ben's bachelor party, but like

0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:47.520
<v Speaker 1>seeing Nick and Chris Souls who I haven't seen in years, Um,

0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:50.880
<v Speaker 1>Sean Booth and obviously Ben, who I got spiked to

0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:56.080
<v Speaker 1>for like three seconds. Um who else? Did I mean? Nas? Obviously?

0:03:56.640 --> 0:04:00.280
<v Speaker 1>Uh time was there Michael g Becca like people I

0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:03.800
<v Speaker 1>just haven't seen, Like, dude, I haven't seen Tanya. I

0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:06.720
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I might have been pre pandemic. Yeah, well,

0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:08.400
<v Speaker 1>and we're supposed to go to nap together, right, and

0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:10.240
<v Speaker 1>then that got canceled. So there were like it's weak

0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:12.320
<v Speaker 1>because there were a lot of things for us all

0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:14.280
<v Speaker 1>to meet up at, but just like one by one

0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:16.080
<v Speaker 1>they're like, you know what, actually we're gonna cancel this.

0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:18.560
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna cancel this. So yeah, it was nice seeing

0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:22.480
<v Speaker 1>everybody I didn't dude, Klin was a champ by the way,

0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:25.200
<v Speaker 1>because Klin obviously had to attend the reception by yourself

0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:28.080
<v Speaker 1>because you were sick, and like, I put myself in

0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:30.680
<v Speaker 1>those shoes. If I if my like, if if Ashley

0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:32.640
<v Speaker 1>couldn't be there because she was sick and I was

0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:34.720
<v Speaker 1>at the reception by myself, I don't know, I would

0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:37.799
<v Speaker 1>feel like kind of weird and I might have left early.

0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:40.279
<v Speaker 1>But dude, she was there the entire night. She was mingling,

0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:43.479
<v Speaker 1>she was social. I was like, Klein, you are a champion,

0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:47.320
<v Speaker 1>because if it was me, I probably would have left early. Yeah.

0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:50.119
<v Speaker 1>It was funny, I because I left probably like five thirties,

0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:52.600
<v Speaker 1>So I was at home by six like basically went

0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:55.159
<v Speaker 1>straight to bed. And Calyn when I left, she was like, yeah,

0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:57.039
<v Speaker 1>like I'll be like, you know, an hour behind you whatever.

0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:00.280
<v Speaker 1>So I like, go home, go to bed, wake up

0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:02.320
<v Speaker 1>at like seven thirty, still no Kalin, wake up at

0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:04.000
<v Speaker 1>eight thirty, still Macalin, wake up at nine thirty. And

0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:06.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm like starting to worry because she was pretty adamant

0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:09.160
<v Speaker 1>about like getting out of there pretty early. Um, and

0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:10.840
<v Speaker 1>I like didn't text or didn't receive any text or

0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:13.120
<v Speaker 1>anything like that from her. But then eventually she walks

0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:14.760
<v Speaker 1>in at like twelve thirty in the morning, and I'm like,

0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:16.360
<v Speaker 1>I can't believe, because she made it all the way

0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:17.800
<v Speaker 1>to the end. I don't even know if you you

0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:19.840
<v Speaker 1>guys made it to the end. But they eventually sent

0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:22.040
<v Speaker 1>shuttles to send everyone back to their hotels and stuff.

0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:25.080
<v Speaker 1>So she stayed until the very very last moment, which

0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:27.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm proud of her for Yeah, you're right, because it's

0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:30.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot to uh to. It's a it's a heavy,

0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:33.800
<v Speaker 1>not a heavy atmosphere, but like it's atmosphere like you're

0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:36.479
<v Speaker 1>at someone's wedding. They have all their friends and family

0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:39.680
<v Speaker 1>members there, and then like especially Klin, I'm sure knows

0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:42.280
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people from Bachelor, but not everybody that

0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:44.200
<v Speaker 1>was there, So I'm sure she had to introduce herself

0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:46.640
<v Speaker 1>and start conversation and be social with people that she's

0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:49.400
<v Speaker 1>not used to meeting, and then also trying to spend

0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:51.600
<v Speaker 1>times with the people that she actually is friends with,

0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:55.080
<v Speaker 1>like Natalie Um and so yeah, dude, good for her.

0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:58.200
<v Speaker 1>You know what's funny is that you I love how

0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:00.240
<v Speaker 1>you were, like, you know, around eight thirty, I was

0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:02.520
<v Speaker 1>starting to get really worried. I mean I didn't text

0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:04.080
<v Speaker 1>or call or anything, and then she walked into the

0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:08.039
<v Speaker 1>door like twelve thirty, So four hours later after you

0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:10.719
<v Speaker 1>said you were concerned, you still hadn't reached out. You know,

0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:12.240
<v Speaker 1>I was like it was like in a in a

0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:14.000
<v Speaker 1>haze because I was like in and out of sleep,

0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:16.600
<v Speaker 1>and I like, obviously she's fine taking care of herself.

0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:18.200
<v Speaker 1>She was with Nick because we got her place with

0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:20.440
<v Speaker 1>Nick in Ittaly as well. So if they got if

0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:22.680
<v Speaker 1>Nick and Natali had gotten back and Caitlin still wasn't back,

0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:24.520
<v Speaker 1>then I would have like done something, but I was

0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:26.520
<v Speaker 1>I was fine with uh kind of everything I was

0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:28.440
<v Speaker 1>going on, I guess, but I want to know more

0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:30.120
<v Speaker 1>about your situation. So you went to this wedding on

0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:34.200
<v Speaker 1>Friday in Mexico and then Saturday, what like Saturday, like

0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:37.520
<v Speaker 1>six am or something, you caught a flight out to Nashville. Yeah,

0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:41.559
<v Speaker 1>so I flew into Cancoon on Wednesday. Uh, flew out.

0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:44.680
<v Speaker 1>The rehearsal German was Thursday. Wedding was Friday. Flew out

0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:47.280
<v Speaker 1>Saturday morning. The car picked me up at six am

0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:49.880
<v Speaker 1>and then I flew out at nine into Houston. Had

0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:51.520
<v Speaker 1>to lay over for an hour, and then from Houston

0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:54.520
<v Speaker 1>to Nashville, and then I got in around two, drove

0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:56.280
<v Speaker 1>back to the hotel, and then went to the ceremony

0:06:56.320 --> 0:07:01.080
<v Speaker 1>for four So it was a very busy, busy few days,

0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:05.080
<v Speaker 1>but it was also really nice. Both weddings were were

0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:07.520
<v Speaker 1>awesome in their different ways. Because the one down in Cancoon,

0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:09.200
<v Speaker 1>I was obviously in the party, so I was hanging

0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:11.480
<v Speaker 1>out with the groom all day and we had they

0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:13.360
<v Speaker 1>had like a golf SIMI later down there. So we

0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:15.800
<v Speaker 1>did that and then we're just hanging to my room

0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:17.640
<v Speaker 1>and took pictures and got ready. He had a small party.

0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:21.360
<v Speaker 1>It was only me and his future brother in law

0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:24.800
<v Speaker 1>and then obviously the groom, and then they had it

0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:26.240
<v Speaker 1>on the beach and it was really beautiful and the

0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:28.840
<v Speaker 1>reception was on the water as well, and it was

0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:31.200
<v Speaker 1>just great to be there and to see them get married,

0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:34.840
<v Speaker 1>and they're just he's like such a mushball. He so

0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:37.840
<v Speaker 1>he cried when he saw his wife Crystal walk down

0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:40.760
<v Speaker 1>the aisle, and he's just like such a such a sap.

0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:42.720
<v Speaker 1>So that was really cool to be there. And then

0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:44.520
<v Speaker 1>of course going to Ben and Jess's were like this,

0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:48.800
<v Speaker 1>it's this over the top romantic, you know, uh, busy

0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:51.840
<v Speaker 1>wedding with four hundred people there and you know, Ben

0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:55.560
<v Speaker 1>had what like fifteen groomsmen. It was really funny seeing

0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:57.679
<v Speaker 1>them all walk down the aisle because we were sitting

0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:00.840
<v Speaker 1>next to former producers of the batchloor one producer still

0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:03.640
<v Speaker 1>in one former producer, and they were like, well, there's

0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:07.760
<v Speaker 1>the next season's cast of The Bachelorette right there. Uh yeah.

0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:09.520
<v Speaker 1>It made me like a little insecure to be honest

0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:13.000
<v Speaker 1>with you, like Ben has so many friends, like close

0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:16.080
<v Speaker 1>friends where he wants fifteen groomsmen, and I'm like I

0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:18.520
<v Speaker 1>would struggle picking out like five people to be in

0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:20.720
<v Speaker 1>my wedding party. You know. Oh it started making me think,

0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:22.720
<v Speaker 1>like where do I line up in the friendship of Ben?

0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Because I think you were like good friends, you know,

0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:26.640
<v Speaker 1>and not not like the room has been level. But

0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:29.320
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh damn, maybe like I'm like thirty

0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:31.920
<v Speaker 1>second closest to Ben right now, where I thought I

0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:34.880
<v Speaker 1>was like in the high teens. Yeah, that's exactly how

0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:36.800
<v Speaker 1>I felt too, which I mean, look, I guess Ben

0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:38.600
<v Speaker 1>is like one of the most popular and sociable guys.

0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:41.320
<v Speaker 1>I know I said more props to him, but yeah,

0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:44.360
<v Speaker 1>it definitely lent to a little bit of insecurity feeling

0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:46.600
<v Speaker 1>just because I was like, dude, if if and when

0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:48.280
<v Speaker 1>I get married, like what am I gonna do? I'm

0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:50.640
<v Speaker 1>not gonna have twelve grooms been up there and I

0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:52.360
<v Speaker 1>know not like it's not a competition when it comes

0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:53.760
<v Speaker 1>to that kind of stuff, But you can't help put

0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:55.680
<v Speaker 1>like size yourself up a little bit, you know. But

0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:57.160
<v Speaker 1>you said you had a lot, you had like eight

0:08:57.160 --> 0:09:00.040
<v Speaker 1>grooms been what I have like eight to Yeah, I

0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.880
<v Speaker 1>had something like eight, but Ashley had the same number.

0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:05.400
<v Speaker 1>We wanted to kind of keep it close. But I also,

0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:07.640
<v Speaker 1>like everybody obviously in the party, I wanted to be

0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:09.480
<v Speaker 1>a part of the of the day and be a

0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:13.080
<v Speaker 1>grinsman in the wedding. And oh, well, I was gonna say,

0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:16.080
<v Speaker 1>you brought up something. Oh you said if and when

0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:20.720
<v Speaker 1>you get married, that feels like, uh, the needle has moved,

0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:25.120
<v Speaker 1>Like that's a different tone when I just, uh, it's

0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:26.880
<v Speaker 1>more just I'm choosing my words a little more carefully

0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:28.480
<v Speaker 1>these days. You know. I think part of the reason

0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 1>I always get in trouble with that kind of stuff

0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:32.520
<v Speaker 1>is because I speak so matter of factly. So if

0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:35.240
<v Speaker 1>I say, oh, yeah, I'm never getting married, then people

0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:38.280
<v Speaker 1>take me for my word, which I guess I appreciate

0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:40.600
<v Speaker 1>them taking me for my word, but uh, it just

0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:43.760
<v Speaker 1>gives me more avenues to get away with things. And then,

0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:45.640
<v Speaker 1>because if you say you'll never get married, there's gonna

0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:50.160
<v Speaker 1>be us weekly headline saying trouble in Paradise, Dean Unglert

0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:54.040
<v Speaker 1>says he'll never marry Kaylin Miller keys. Yeah. So now

0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:55.719
<v Speaker 1>so I'm just I'm just starting to choose my words

0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:58.000
<v Speaker 1>a little more carefully that if and when statement. It's like,

0:09:58.080 --> 0:09:59.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, it kind of gives me an out, it

0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:02.400
<v Speaker 1>makes it makes it less headline grabby. All right, so

0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:06.120
<v Speaker 1>the question becomes Dean, Now you have been to multiple

0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:09.560
<v Speaker 1>weddings with Klin. I'm sure she's getting more fever as

0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:14.320
<v Speaker 1>the years go on. So how's your is I I

0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:16.640
<v Speaker 1>just said the needle felt like it moved? Has it moved?

0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:21.160
<v Speaker 1>Are you more towards like, hey, let's get married? Oh? Yeah? Well,

0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:23.760
<v Speaker 1>so we sat next to Derek Paith and Saffron his

0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:26.600
<v Speaker 1>fiance at the wedding, and Saffron I had never met.

0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:28.600
<v Speaker 1>So Saffron asked me if we're married, because I've got

0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:30.840
<v Speaker 1>the ring on my finger obviously, and I gave her

0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:34.200
<v Speaker 1>my usual, you know, nonsensical dean answer. Be it as

0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:36.400
<v Speaker 1>it may, maybe maybe not. I don't know, you know,

0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:39.560
<v Speaker 1>what is marriage? What is life? Yeah? I said, as

0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:41.800
<v Speaker 1>far as the government's concerned, No, as far as our

0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:45.600
<v Speaker 1>hearts are concerned. Yes, um, and then calin like leans

0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:48.959
<v Speaker 1>over and she goes will be engaged by two trust

0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:53.079
<v Speaker 1>me or something like that. So well, I was gonna say,

0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:56.640
<v Speaker 1>two you got about forty five days left if that

0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:58.920
<v Speaker 1>was happen, Yeah, but I don't know, Like I don't

0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:00.880
<v Speaker 1>know if she's speaking for me or if she's saying

0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:03.640
<v Speaker 1>that she's gonna propose to me, which I made it

0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:05.360
<v Speaker 1>pretty clear to her, and I was like, you know,

0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:07.520
<v Speaker 1>if you really want to get married, you should be

0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:11.200
<v Speaker 1>the one proposing to me. Uh. So, I think she's

0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:13.959
<v Speaker 1>got something and it works for that, which I think

0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:15.719
<v Speaker 1>it's pretty cool. You know, maybe we could do like

0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:19.040
<v Speaker 1>a dual thing. But uh, I mean, yeah, I guess

0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:21.480
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of the fallback or not the fallback. The

0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:24.240
<v Speaker 1>one of the negatives about going all these weddings is

0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:30.760
<v Speaker 1>it gets your girlfriend in a mood to get married. Yeah.

0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.360
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I mean I guess, you know, give it,

0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:36.320
<v Speaker 1>give us twelve months, twelve thirteen months, and we'll have something,

0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:40.079
<v Speaker 1>something a little more formal on the books. But two,

0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:42.360
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna find out big year for Dean and Kalin.

0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:46.440
<v Speaker 1>We're thinking make your break here Calin proposes. That would

0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:48.600
<v Speaker 1>be freaking awesome. I mean, that would be the most

0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:50.520
<v Speaker 1>Dean and Kalen thing of all time. Where she was like,

0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:52.480
<v Speaker 1>well he was taken too damn long. So I had

0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:55.240
<v Speaker 1>to get on one day. Yeah, yeah, it would probably

0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:57.200
<v Speaker 1>be like, uh, she would probably do it and I

0:11:57.200 --> 0:11:58.760
<v Speaker 1>would and then I would probably do it, or like

0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:02.160
<v Speaker 1>it'll probably happened for both of it. I don't know,

0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:06.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, So what would you say? Uh? Well, I

0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:09.000
<v Speaker 1>would laugh at first, obviously, I probably I'd probably get

0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:11.000
<v Speaker 1>around to say and yes at some point. Yeah, just

0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:14.720
<v Speaker 1>you obviously make her sweat it out a little bit, like, well,

0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:17.599
<v Speaker 1>you know, I do love my van life. And uh

0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:22.880
<v Speaker 1>I did say I never wanted to get married. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no,

0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:25.160
<v Speaker 1>I make yourself out a little bit, I will say. Though,

0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:29.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm impressed by her. She not well she's always been

0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:31.040
<v Speaker 1>like this, but more so lately in the past like

0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:33.200
<v Speaker 1>six months or so, she like, you know, she gets

0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:34.920
<v Speaker 1>an idea, she says she's gonna do something, and she

0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:38.520
<v Speaker 1>uh it takes a lot less convincing to do it

0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:41.800
<v Speaker 1>than in times past, whereas now she's just like ghoest

0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:43.440
<v Speaker 1>for it, you know what I mean. So, so kudos

0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:46.000
<v Speaker 1>to her. We'll see if what happens. Um it sounds

0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:48.040
<v Speaker 1>to me like she is actually gonna make it happen.

0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:51.600
<v Speaker 1>So that's so I'm saying. Good for Kalin. She's a badass. Yeah,

0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:53.600
<v Speaker 1>putting up with your ass for all these years. Now

0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:58.280
<v Speaker 1>she's going to propose to you. Yeah, we'll see. I mean,

0:12:58.280 --> 0:12:59.600
<v Speaker 1>I've got some stuff in the works. I don't want

0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:03.840
<v Speaker 1>to spoil anything, but you know, maybe when when it happens,

0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:06.520
<v Speaker 1>we'll we'll all be able to weigh in on the situation. Yeah. Well,

0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:08.160
<v Speaker 1>you obviously just have to tell the story on the

0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:12.920
<v Speaker 1>podcast after it happens. That's all. That's the deal, right there. Yeah, yeah, true. Um,

0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:14.640
<v Speaker 1>I actually had something else I wanted to talk about

0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:17.160
<v Speaker 1>as well. I can't remember. Um, all right, well, why

0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:19.079
<v Speaker 1>do you think of it? I want to tease our guests.

0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:20.959
<v Speaker 1>We have two very special guests that are coming up

0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:23.120
<v Speaker 1>after the break, which will take in a few minutes

0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:27.920
<v Speaker 1>from the new HBO Max Uh show Twelve Dates of Christmas,

0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:31.040
<v Speaker 1>which of course returns for its second season starts Thursday, November,

0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:34.199

0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:36.960
<v Speaker 1>Marquelle Smith. So we're very excited to talk to them,

0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:40.000
<v Speaker 1>especially we're getting in the holiday season. Twelve Days of Christmas,

0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:42.960
<v Speaker 1>Twelve Dates of Christmas, excuse me, come back for a

0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:45.520
<v Speaker 1>second season. So excited to talk to them. I do

0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:48.600
<v Speaker 1>have something to talk about if you can't think of anything, Dan,

0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:51.800
<v Speaker 1>what I can't think about what you were going to say? Um,

0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:54.240
<v Speaker 1>I think I remembered what I wanted to say, but

0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:55.920
<v Speaker 1>it just does not maybe the time or place for it,

0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:57.760
<v Speaker 1>So feel free to what do you want to talk about?

0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:00.360
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna talk about the Pete Davidson thing. What's

0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:03.719
<v Speaker 1>the update with Pete Davidson. Well, obviously he's dating Kim Kardashian,

0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:06.200
<v Speaker 1>which is still the craziest I've ever heard of. I

0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:10.000
<v Speaker 1>can't believe Pete Davidson is dating Kim Kardashian. That's insane

0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:12.440
<v Speaker 1>to me. Good for him, and I hope they're happy.

0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:14.760
<v Speaker 1>But the one thing I did want to talk about

0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:19.920
<v Speaker 1>was he actually revealed his major dating deal breaker, which

0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:22.040
<v Speaker 1>gives me two thoughts which I'll go into in a second.

0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:24.800
<v Speaker 1>And it's something that Cosmopolitan, which is what the article

0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:29.520
<v Speaker 1>is on, agrees with and I wholeheartedly agree with, because

0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:32.720
<v Speaker 1>he says that his deal breaker is when he goes

0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:35.280
<v Speaker 1>on a date and the person he's on the date

0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:38.800
<v Speaker 1>with is treating the wait staff for bartenders poorly. That's

0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:42.400
<v Speaker 1>a big no note in his book quote immediately would

0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:45.120
<v Speaker 1>be over in my head. I would be like, Okay,

0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:48.760
<v Speaker 1>never again. That is it. He said that was his

0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:51.760
<v Speaker 1>one deal breaker, and I could not agree more. As

0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:54.640
<v Speaker 1>someone who's worked in the restaurant industry all of my life, dude,

0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:58.680
<v Speaker 1>I've always said it should be a college requirement for

0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:01.040
<v Speaker 1>people to work in the service industry because it teaches

0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:06.160
<v Speaker 1>you a lot about how to deal with society, how

0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:09.200
<v Speaker 1>to be kind to one another, how to be patient

0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:11.520
<v Speaker 1>with someone when you have to wait on someone and

0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:13.920
<v Speaker 1>clean up after them and serve them food. It like

0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:17.640
<v Speaker 1>teaches you, I truly think, how to just be a

0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:21.440
<v Speaker 1>better person. Yeah. I agree, you treat your white staff poorly.

0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:23.920
<v Speaker 1>That's ah, that's a big red flag. I do want

0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:26.440
<v Speaker 1>to point out this article real quick. Um, I hate

0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:30.520
<v Speaker 1>these articles from places like The News, US Weekly, People Magazine,

0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:34.200
<v Speaker 1>all that stuff. Uh. For the record, the people listening

0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:36.800
<v Speaker 1>obviously can't see the article we're referring to. It's basically

0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:42.120
<v Speaker 1>just uh, encapsulating Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson's officially dating relationship. Now.

0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:44.720
<v Speaker 1>But you scroll down eventually and you get you get

0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:46.880
<v Speaker 1>to these sentences where it's saying like Kim isn't looking

0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:49.400
<v Speaker 1>today strictly, She's just really enjoying her life right now,

0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:52.480
<v Speaker 1>per a source that told E News. And it's that

0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:55.320
<v Speaker 1>stuff that really just makes me so frustrated, like probably

0:15:55.440 --> 0:16:00.960
<v Speaker 1>rationally so. A source told this news junket that they're

0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:03.000
<v Speaker 1>that Kim is just having the time of her life.

0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:06.200
<v Speaker 1>No one told, no one close to Kim is telling

0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:07.720
<v Speaker 1>you news that Kim's just having the time of her

0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:09.560
<v Speaker 1>life with Pete Davidson right now. And I know for

0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:12.600
<v Speaker 1>a fact because there have been many articles written about me,

0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:17.120
<v Speaker 1>probably something about you, Kaylin where they're like, according to

0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:19.520
<v Speaker 1>a source very close to E News, Dean and Kaylin

0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:22.080
<v Speaker 1>are on rocky waters right now. And it's just like,

0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:25.160
<v Speaker 1>no one told you guys that we're not on rocky waters.

0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:27.440
<v Speaker 1>Like you're just making crap up just so you have

0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:30.240
<v Speaker 1>like something to write about. So I'm sure Kim and

0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Pete are doing great. But when I read things like

0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:35.640
<v Speaker 1>at the time a source told this you know news outlet,

0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:37.760
<v Speaker 1>in my head, I just go everything that I just

0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:43.640
<v Speaker 1>read is completely move because none of it holds anyway whatsoever. Yeah,

0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:47.960
<v Speaker 1>the source could be like my cousin, you know, talking

0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:50.000
<v Speaker 1>about kid guard Ashton and being like, yeah, I think

0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:52.720
<v Speaker 1>she's just ready to kinda be easy going. They're like

0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:56.360
<v Speaker 1>perfect god a source. Uh, and they're especially like if

0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:58.920
<v Speaker 1>you talk to like, I always think that these sources

0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:02.480
<v Speaker 1>are are like if it's a source close to the

0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:08.639
<v Speaker 1>Kardashian family, it's like their hairdresser's second cousin who saw

0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:13.280
<v Speaker 1>them one time walk into the salon and they said hello,

0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:16.840
<v Speaker 1>and it's like that's a close enough source for me. Yeah,

0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:19.639
<v Speaker 1>It's like anytime there's a Bachelor article, it's always like

0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:22.800
<v Speaker 1>an inside source close to production or like a produce

0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:27.040
<v Speaker 1>an inside source close to production said that Ashley and

0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:31.879
<v Speaker 1>Jared are you know, I hate it and and I

0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:34.360
<v Speaker 1>guess for them specifically for the Kardashians, right, Like they've

0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:36.439
<v Speaker 1>kind of built a franchise off of these types of

0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:38.320
<v Speaker 1>articles being written about them. So kudas to them for

0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:40.719
<v Speaker 1>keeping on keeping on and to a degree it kind

0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:42.719
<v Speaker 1>of helps our business as well. Right, So it's not

0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:46.199
<v Speaker 1>all bad, but it's just it just it bothers me

0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:48.840
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. I think now, is that like when

0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:51.680
<v Speaker 1>they talk about the sources, that's what comes to mind

0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:53.680
<v Speaker 1>for me, where it's like somebody who doesn't really know.

0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:57.119
<v Speaker 1>But I do think years ago when they first was

0:17:57.200 --> 0:18:02.520
<v Speaker 1>starting to get there their aim. I think that they

0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:05.880
<v Speaker 1>were the sources like a hundred percent because they want

0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:07.320
<v Speaker 1>to get their names out there. They want to get

0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:10.000
<v Speaker 1>their names in the news, which makes total sense. Like

0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:14.680
<v Speaker 1>I know people who have hired paparazzi to come take

0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:17.880
<v Speaker 1>photos of them when they're leaving a restaurant because it's

0:18:17.880 --> 0:18:22.280
<v Speaker 1>it's exposure. Like they'll I know for a fact, an

0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:26.800
<v Speaker 1>agent of a buddy of mine who calls, uh, the

0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:29.760
<v Speaker 1>paparazzi and no, you guys don't know who this person is.

0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:32.280
<v Speaker 1>You don't know who I'm talking about, so don't make theories. No,

0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:35.840
<v Speaker 1>but like their agent will call the paparazzi and say, hey,

0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:39.200
<v Speaker 1>so and so is gonna be here, please like or

0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:40.959
<v Speaker 1>not even please, but like if you, you know, go

0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:43.520
<v Speaker 1>take pictures of them when they're walking out, because it's

0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:46.080
<v Speaker 1>good exposure. Right if you're you're in the news or

0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:50.240
<v Speaker 1>somebody's seen here, it's just like, sure it's tabloid you know,

0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:55.160
<v Speaker 1>hearsay or tabloid you know, fluff, but it's always good

0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:57.119
<v Speaker 1>to you know, get yourself a little press. I know

0:18:57.200 --> 0:18:59.680
<v Speaker 1>some former Bachelor contestants that will go to dinner and

0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:02.560
<v Speaker 1>call the parazzi on themselves, and I've even heard them say,

0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:04.440
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I'm bored. I'm gonna call the paparazzi

0:19:04.440 --> 0:19:07.280
<v Speaker 1>and tell them where we're at right now. So yes,

0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:11.960
<v Speaker 1>I've heard people say that before is in sane? Have

0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:15.280
<v Speaker 1>you ever done that? I've never done it personally. I've like,

0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:18.920
<v Speaker 1>I've only really been popped once. I was getting off

0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:22.359
<v Speaker 1>a flight to go get my um my hip tended

0:19:22.400 --> 0:19:24.159
<v Speaker 1>to in Seattle. This is like right after I had

0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:26.159
<v Speaker 1>my accident and I was walking through the airport in

0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Seattle and someone like had a camera on me, and

0:19:28.000 --> 0:19:31.800
<v Speaker 1>I was like asking me all these questions and it

0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:34.280
<v Speaker 1>was like stuff about Bachelor, but stuff that I was

0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:36.359
<v Speaker 1>so far removed from, and I was like, why do

0:19:36.440 --> 0:19:38.920
<v Speaker 1>you care about my opinion on any of this stuff?

0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:41.760
<v Speaker 1>It was the weirdest thing they were asking me, like

0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:45.440
<v Speaker 1>about like Peter Weber's uh, you know, shocking ending to

0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:47.560
<v Speaker 1>a season, and I'm like, I'm so far removed from this.

0:19:47.880 --> 0:19:49.320
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea why you guys are asking me

0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:51.040
<v Speaker 1>the questions, So just like leave me alone, but you like,

0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:52.919
<v Speaker 1>I don't don't want to be a jerk. I don't know.

0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:54.520
<v Speaker 1>It was it was one of the weird experiences I've

0:19:54.520 --> 0:19:58.119
<v Speaker 1>had um, but yeah, it's always weird. Deal. Well, the

0:19:58.440 --> 0:20:01.159
<v Speaker 1>my best experience with the Papa razzi, which I was

0:20:01.200 --> 0:20:04.840
<v Speaker 1>at the Bad Boys for Life movie premiere because I

0:20:04.880 --> 0:20:06.639
<v Speaker 1>got invited and I was so excited to go, and

0:20:06.640 --> 0:20:08.760
<v Speaker 1>I brought a buddy of mine because actually doesn't care

0:20:08.800 --> 0:20:11.919
<v Speaker 1>about Bad Boys. And I was walking and I don't

0:20:11.960 --> 0:20:14.399
<v Speaker 1>know why this happened to me. I really don't. I

0:20:14.440 --> 0:20:17.119
<v Speaker 1>think that they either mistook me for someone or like

0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:20.440
<v Speaker 1>maybe it just wasn't that many people around, but there

0:20:20.560 --> 0:20:23.840
<v Speaker 1>was like people coming up to me for signatures and

0:20:23.960 --> 0:20:25.639
<v Speaker 1>they must have thought maybe I was in the movie

0:20:25.760 --> 0:20:28.040
<v Speaker 1>or something. But then as they were like asking for

0:20:28.080 --> 0:20:29.679
<v Speaker 1>my signature, and I'm like, oh, no, I'm not in

0:20:29.720 --> 0:20:31.959
<v Speaker 1>the movie, Like I don't really plus I've all I

0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:33.840
<v Speaker 1>was also told never give out your signature because a

0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:35.760
<v Speaker 1>lot of it is like fraudulent and they just try

0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:38.159
<v Speaker 1>to get your signature to like get you know, to

0:20:38.280 --> 0:20:40.080
<v Speaker 1>like sign your name on other things so they can

0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:43.919
<v Speaker 1>steal your identity moving forward. Uh. But when I was like,

0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:45.720
<v Speaker 1>oh no, I'm not in the movie, Oh I don't

0:20:45.760 --> 0:20:48.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, and that like two paparazzi people came up

0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:50.320
<v Speaker 1>and started like taking pictures in my face as I

0:20:50.359 --> 0:20:52.200
<v Speaker 1>was like walking behind the carpet about to go into

0:20:52.200 --> 0:20:54.800
<v Speaker 1>the theater, and I was like, holy crap, I feel

0:20:54.840 --> 0:20:58.439
<v Speaker 1>like Tom Cruise right now. I was like, like the

0:20:58.440 --> 0:21:00.200
<v Speaker 1>closet moment of my life. And then I was sure,

0:21:00.200 --> 0:21:02.680
<v Speaker 1>you look just like him too. I did not, unfortunately,

0:21:02.680 --> 0:21:06.240
<v Speaker 1>but that's not bad because he's like five seven, you know,

0:21:06.320 --> 0:21:08.800
<v Speaker 1>poor guy, Well you have you got the high thing

0:21:08.800 --> 0:21:10.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about, just like the facial in the hair

0:21:10.760 --> 0:21:12.960
<v Speaker 1>and all that kind of stuff. But um, Jared, I

0:21:13.000 --> 0:21:14.400

<v Speaker 1>dating really go hand in hand. I feel it really is.

0:22:14.000 --> 0:22:16.120
<v Speaker 1>So Amanda, tell us a little bit about the second

0:22:16.160 --> 0:22:19.399
<v Speaker 1>season of Twelve Dates of Christmas. Let's see, how do

0:22:19.480 --> 0:22:23.120
<v Speaker 1>I narrow it down a little bit? Um, Well, it uh,

0:22:23.200 --> 0:22:25.119
<v Speaker 1>as you guys know, there's three leads, So that was

0:22:25.160 --> 0:22:27.560
<v Speaker 1>a little bit different than um, we've seen in the

0:22:27.600 --> 0:22:31.320
<v Speaker 1>past with a lot of reality shows. And UM, I

0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:33.919
<v Speaker 1>actually really love that. When I watched the first season,

0:22:34.000 --> 0:22:36.720
<v Speaker 1>I was like, Okay, like I feel like that would

0:22:36.720 --> 0:22:41.080
<v Speaker 1>be nice to have, um, to have just kind of

0:22:41.119 --> 0:22:43.960
<v Speaker 1>like friends and partners in a way going through the

0:22:43.960 --> 0:22:45.840
<v Speaker 1>same experience as you and people to kind of like

0:22:45.880 --> 0:22:50.000
<v Speaker 1>bouncings off of, and um you're not like completely alone

0:22:50.119 --> 0:22:55.560
<v Speaker 1>and and kind of just relying on just yourself and

0:22:55.560 --> 0:22:58.399
<v Speaker 1>and um with all the attention on you. So that

0:22:58.480 --> 0:23:01.080
<v Speaker 1>kind of drew me in a little more. Well, I've

0:23:01.080 --> 0:23:03.520
<v Speaker 1>got a question for you guys. So season one, it

0:23:03.680 --> 0:23:06.200
<v Speaker 1>was there was a game mail lead, right, and then

0:23:06.200 --> 0:23:08.960
<v Speaker 1>two straight leads, and then this season what is it?

0:23:09.119 --> 0:23:10.600
<v Speaker 1>Is there three leads again this season or is it

0:23:10.640 --> 0:23:13.680
<v Speaker 1>just you too? There are three? There's Danny I don't

0:23:13.720 --> 0:23:16.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure why he's not here, but then there's

0:23:16.240 --> 0:23:20.640
<v Speaker 1>Amanda and then myself. Nice, okay, cool? Why well, Jared,

0:23:20.680 --> 0:23:22.280
<v Speaker 1>why did we not get all three of them? From

0:23:22.280 --> 0:23:25.280
<v Speaker 1>the time? Obviously we're working on a budget, Dean, you know,

0:23:25.359 --> 0:23:27.320
<v Speaker 1>there's only so much we could be doing about these things.

0:23:27.320 --> 0:23:31.080
<v Speaker 1>So Marquelle, what was your experience like well, filming Twelve

0:23:31.160 --> 0:23:34.879
<v Speaker 1>Days of Christmas? I had a great experience. Obviously, you know,

0:23:34.920 --> 0:23:38.040
<v Speaker 1>they're ups and downs as with anything, but I think

0:23:38.160 --> 0:23:40.560
<v Speaker 1>overall it was a very exciting time. I had never

0:23:40.640 --> 0:23:43.520
<v Speaker 1>done anything like this before. Um it was my first

0:23:43.520 --> 0:23:47.120
<v Speaker 1>time being like professionally on camera, So this was really

0:23:47.119 --> 0:23:51.080
<v Speaker 1>exciting after, you know, after the nerves wore off, it

0:23:51.160 --> 0:23:53.640
<v Speaker 1>was really exciting. Well, and it's not just that it's

0:23:53.680 --> 0:23:55.480
<v Speaker 1>not that you're just on camera, right, you're kind of

0:23:55.520 --> 0:23:59.000
<v Speaker 1>one of the central focuses of the entire and then

0:23:59.040 --> 0:24:02.280
<v Speaker 1>you're also dating on camera, which was like because you

0:24:02.320 --> 0:24:04.040
<v Speaker 1>know that feeling when you go to a restaurant and

0:24:04.080 --> 0:24:06.600
<v Speaker 1>you're sitting next to a table and you're like wondering

0:24:06.640 --> 0:24:08.760
<v Speaker 1>can the next table hear you? But it's like, you

0:24:08.760 --> 0:24:10.760
<v Speaker 1>can't really do this now because it's a room full

0:24:10.800 --> 0:24:13.159
<v Speaker 1>of cameras and they're all watching you, like get to

0:24:13.160 --> 0:24:17.000
<v Speaker 1>know somebody on camera, they can definitely hear you. How

0:24:17.000 --> 0:24:18.960
<v Speaker 1>did you guys handle that kind of like those those nerves,

0:24:19.000 --> 0:24:20.960
<v Speaker 1>because I fully agree with you, it's one thing to

0:24:21.160 --> 0:24:23.239
<v Speaker 1>be vulnerable and open up to someone, and then it's

0:24:23.280 --> 0:24:25.000
<v Speaker 1>a whole other thing for there to be cameras around

0:24:25.000 --> 0:24:26.359
<v Speaker 1>and kind of shoved in your face. So how did

0:24:26.359 --> 0:24:29.040
<v Speaker 1>you guys deal with that? I don't want to say pressure,

0:24:29.040 --> 0:24:31.480
<v Speaker 1>but with that kind of like stress, I guess. I

0:24:31.480 --> 0:24:33.199
<v Speaker 1>mean I was very much of the mindset of just

0:24:33.280 --> 0:24:35.960
<v Speaker 1>like you know what, we know, why we're here, let's

0:24:35.960 --> 0:24:38.399
<v Speaker 1>just do it, like, you know, getting over the nerves.

0:24:38.440 --> 0:24:40.840
<v Speaker 1>Like of course, I won't say I won't say that

0:24:40.920 --> 0:24:43.720
<v Speaker 1>it was comfortable at the beginning, but after a certain

0:24:43.760 --> 0:24:45.760
<v Speaker 1>point it was like, Okay, why am I nervous? I'm here,

0:24:45.840 --> 0:24:49.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm here, I'm doing this, Like let's ask the hard questions.

0:24:49.680 --> 0:24:52.399
<v Speaker 1>That's like really good in there, and just like okus,

0:24:53.760 --> 0:24:57.639
<v Speaker 1>so Amanda. Yeah. Obviously the show has not aired yet,

0:24:57.720 --> 0:25:01.199
<v Speaker 1>but in the preview they talk about or they mentioned

0:25:01.200 --> 0:25:04.160
<v Speaker 1>that you've been in kind of some toxic relationships in

0:25:04.200 --> 0:25:07.480
<v Speaker 1>the past. Can you just give us like an overview

0:25:07.480 --> 0:25:09.680
<v Speaker 1>of like what some of those relationships were like, or

0:25:09.720 --> 0:25:13.400
<v Speaker 1>you're learning experience through them and what you've learned coming

0:25:13.400 --> 0:25:15.520
<v Speaker 1>out of bad relationships and when you're hoping what you're

0:25:15.560 --> 0:25:21.680
<v Speaker 1>hoping for in a future relationship. Yeah, definitely. UM. So

0:25:22.119 --> 0:25:25.440
<v Speaker 1>I feel like for me, I feel like it took

0:25:25.440 --> 0:25:30.440
<v Speaker 1>a long time to to learn about myself and UM

0:25:30.520 --> 0:25:35.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of UM get a little bit more of UM

0:25:35.640 --> 0:25:39.520
<v Speaker 1>just the self awareness of some of the ways I

0:25:39.560 --> 0:25:41.399
<v Speaker 1>was moving through the world and some of the types

0:25:41.440 --> 0:25:46.200
<v Speaker 1>of people I was attracting, and UM, I'm someone that

0:25:46.680 --> 0:25:49.359
<v Speaker 1>UM like just kind of because of some of the

0:25:49.359 --> 0:25:51.959
<v Speaker 1>things in my in my background that I hadn't processed too.

0:25:52.040 --> 0:25:54.240
<v Speaker 1>It's like I feel like I was doing a lot

0:25:54.280 --> 0:25:58.720
<v Speaker 1>of UM, I guess like trauma bonding and and finding

0:25:58.760 --> 0:26:03.800
<v Speaker 1>these like really passionate it um and sometimes really exciting relationships,

0:26:03.800 --> 0:26:07.919
<v Speaker 1>but they weren't necessarily healthy. Um. And and then it

0:26:07.960 --> 0:26:09.680
<v Speaker 1>obviously took me a long time to really learn a

0:26:09.680 --> 0:26:12.480
<v Speaker 1>lot about myself too, because I only came out about

0:26:12.520 --> 0:26:16.120
<v Speaker 1>three years ago. UM, and I'm in my threeties. So

0:26:16.720 --> 0:26:19.120
<v Speaker 1>um it. I just think it took a really long

0:26:19.160 --> 0:26:22.679
<v Speaker 1>time to to just truly get to know myself and

0:26:23.160 --> 0:26:25.800
<v Speaker 1>um and then start to explore that. And then once

0:26:25.840 --> 0:26:27.760
<v Speaker 1>I came out and that was a whole new world

0:26:27.840 --> 0:26:32.040
<v Speaker 1>to relearn all about myself again and um kind of

0:26:32.080 --> 0:26:35.159
<v Speaker 1>go with the ups and downs of that. Um. So

0:26:35.200 --> 0:26:37.679
<v Speaker 1>it's been a long journey for me. I feel like

0:26:37.760 --> 0:26:40.439
<v Speaker 1>and and now I'm I feel like I'm in this

0:26:40.520 --> 0:26:42.800
<v Speaker 1>space where I know a lot more of what I

0:26:42.880 --> 0:26:46.120
<v Speaker 1>want and what I don't want. And I think that

0:26:46.400 --> 0:26:48.800
<v Speaker 1>because of that, it puts me more in the position

0:26:48.840 --> 0:26:52.119
<v Speaker 1>to be ready for a relationship because of just a

0:26:52.160 --> 0:26:54.320
<v Speaker 1>lot of the work that I've done within my own

0:26:54.359 --> 0:26:57.520
<v Speaker 1>personal life and the time that I've been single. Yeah, yeah,

0:26:57.520 --> 0:26:59.040
<v Speaker 1>I think I think you gotta nail it on the head.

0:26:59.080 --> 0:27:00.520
<v Speaker 1>I think Jared and I've talked about this in the

0:27:00.520 --> 0:27:03.359
<v Speaker 1>past on the on this podcast. Sometimes you have like

0:27:03.359 --> 0:27:05.879
<v Speaker 1>these trauma bonded relationships where you know they give you

0:27:05.880 --> 0:27:07.840
<v Speaker 1>certain types of feelings and you think they're good feelings,

0:27:07.840 --> 0:27:11.360
<v Speaker 1>but in the relationship isn't necessarily like the healthiest relationship. Uh.

0:27:11.440 --> 0:27:12.719
<v Speaker 1>And I think a lot of that just comes with

0:27:12.800 --> 0:27:14.840
<v Speaker 1>time and experience, right, So like as you go on,

0:27:14.920 --> 0:27:16.880
<v Speaker 1>you keep dating and you figure all that stuff out.

0:27:17.520 --> 0:27:19.560
<v Speaker 1>So it's good that you, I guess I've been able

0:27:19.600 --> 0:27:21.760
<v Speaker 1>to identify that. But then through the show, for what

0:27:21.880 --> 0:27:23.320
<v Speaker 1>this is a question for both of you guys, was

0:27:23.359 --> 0:27:25.280
<v Speaker 1>there anything that you learned through the filming of the

0:27:25.280 --> 0:27:28.879
<v Speaker 1>show about yourselves that you didn't know before? Yeah? I

0:27:28.880 --> 0:27:34.119
<v Speaker 1>feel like for me, I I I did learn that,

0:27:34.400 --> 0:27:39.080
<v Speaker 1>UM that I do like to take my time, uh

0:27:39.119 --> 0:27:44.520
<v Speaker 1>and really get to know someone. And it's very challenging

0:27:44.600 --> 0:27:47.040
<v Speaker 1>on a show like this when you have a lot

0:27:47.080 --> 0:27:49.960
<v Speaker 1>of dates coming through really quickly and you've got to

0:27:50.000 --> 0:27:53.359
<v Speaker 1>make fast decisions. Um. And I think because I'm I

0:27:53.640 --> 0:27:58.000
<v Speaker 1>think I'm more hesitant, um because of my past experiences.

0:27:58.040 --> 0:27:59.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, I want to make sure I make the

0:27:59.480 --> 0:28:02.040
<v Speaker 1>right destiny jan and I want to make sure that

0:28:02.080 --> 0:28:05.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing the right thing for for me and the

0:28:05.119 --> 0:28:07.560
<v Speaker 1>people around me and people and bringing my life. It's like,

0:28:07.720 --> 0:28:11.040
<v Speaker 1>I I kind of like take on a lot of

0:28:11.080 --> 0:28:15.160
<v Speaker 1>that pressure and I found that that was really challenging

0:28:15.200 --> 0:28:19.280
<v Speaker 1>for me. How about you, Marco, Yeah, I definitely learned that.

0:28:19.320 --> 0:28:25.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm so I'm a libra. I'm not like a huge astrologist. Um.

0:28:25.080 --> 0:28:29.199
<v Speaker 1>But we get the reputation for being very indecisive, and

0:28:29.280 --> 0:28:34.240
<v Speaker 1>I learned that I'm very direct, but I also sort

0:28:34.240 --> 0:28:38.880
<v Speaker 1>of like catered to, like not hurt people's feelings. And

0:28:39.000 --> 0:28:42.240
<v Speaker 1>I learned through this process that I can be more

0:28:42.280 --> 0:28:46.000
<v Speaker 1>direct when I like set an intention to be more direct.

0:28:46.400 --> 0:28:48.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh dude, I'm right there with you. You should talk

0:28:48.920 --> 0:28:50.719
<v Speaker 1>to my wife about that. She tells me, She's like,

0:28:50.800 --> 0:28:53.680
<v Speaker 1>what do you want? Tell me what you want, and

0:28:53.680 --> 0:28:56.480
<v Speaker 1>then I will do everything to try to make that happen.

0:28:56.880 --> 0:28:58.720
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, oh, you know, I like always beat

0:28:58.720 --> 0:29:01.160
<v Speaker 1>around the bush. It's definitely to Mark L I definitely

0:29:01.200 --> 0:29:05.960
<v Speaker 1>relate with you on that one. My yeah. Um So Marquel,

0:29:06.480 --> 0:29:11.200
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to ask you a little bit as well. Um,

0:29:11.200 --> 0:29:14.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, what are some of the things going into

0:29:14.200 --> 0:29:18.320
<v Speaker 1>this process that you were looking for in a partner? Um? So,

0:29:18.360 --> 0:29:21.880
<v Speaker 1>I think you know you can see from the trailer, Um,

0:29:21.920 --> 0:29:24.120
<v Speaker 1>I framed it as I'm looking for that same feeling

0:29:24.160 --> 0:29:26.080
<v Speaker 1>that I had with my excent. I can kind of like,

0:29:26.280 --> 0:29:29.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, myself and Amanda's shoes. Actually was just saying,

0:29:29.600 --> 0:29:34.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, the fieries, the passion, the the excitement that

0:29:34.120 --> 0:29:37.360
<v Speaker 1>you get at the beginning doesn't. It isn't necessarily indicative

0:29:37.560 --> 0:29:43.640
<v Speaker 1>of what a healthy relationship could be. Um, so you know,

0:29:43.760 --> 0:29:45.840
<v Speaker 1>just really so, And that was my first relationship, That

0:29:45.880 --> 0:29:49.120
<v Speaker 1>was my first official Like how long were you guys?

0:29:49.360 --> 0:29:52.440
<v Speaker 1>How long did you guys date for? We dated for

0:29:52.560 --> 0:29:56.320
<v Speaker 1>six months? Okay? And then how long before the show

0:29:56.400 --> 0:30:02.440
<v Speaker 1>did you break up? We broke up and July and

0:30:02.520 --> 0:30:06.720
<v Speaker 1>we started filming, so about eight months okay. Because a

0:30:06.720 --> 0:30:08.760
<v Speaker 1>lot of people will ask, you know, when do I

0:30:08.880 --> 0:30:11.840
<v Speaker 1>know I'm ready to start dating again or possibly jump

0:30:11.880 --> 0:30:13.880
<v Speaker 1>into a relationship, So when did you know? When did

0:30:13.920 --> 0:30:17.320
<v Speaker 1>you feel like this was your time to start going

0:30:17.360 --> 0:30:21.680
<v Speaker 1>back into the dating pool? Um. I don't think that

0:30:21.720 --> 0:30:24.440
<v Speaker 1>there was like a distinct moment that I knew, but

0:30:24.520 --> 0:30:26.840
<v Speaker 1>I it took me a while too, not a while,

0:30:26.880 --> 0:30:28.960
<v Speaker 1>but it took me some time to get over it, obviously,

0:30:29.760 --> 0:30:32.400
<v Speaker 1>And it was just like a process of you know,

0:30:32.480 --> 0:30:36.480
<v Speaker 1>grieving the relationship, reading the loss of it, of this

0:30:36.520 --> 0:30:38.520
<v Speaker 1>person that I I was spending so much time with.

0:30:39.200 --> 0:30:41.880
<v Speaker 1>And then I don't know, I just started like going

0:30:41.920 --> 0:30:44.280
<v Speaker 1>on the apps, going out with people again and just

0:30:44.320 --> 0:30:47.400
<v Speaker 1>realizing like, okay, am I ready? Am I not? I

0:30:47.440 --> 0:30:50.400
<v Speaker 1>remember going on one day with somebody like before I

0:30:50.440 --> 0:30:52.480
<v Speaker 1>went on the show, and I was like, no, I'm

0:30:52.480 --> 0:30:55.120
<v Speaker 1>not ready, and because I just I just like completely

0:30:55.200 --> 0:30:57.720
<v Speaker 1>wasn't there. Yeah, have you have you there? You guys

0:30:57.720 --> 0:30:59.840
<v Speaker 1>been in touch with any of your ex is before

0:31:00.040 --> 0:31:02.080
<v Speaker 1>the airing of the show to kind of like let

0:31:02.080 --> 0:31:05.280
<v Speaker 1>them know what they're getting themselves into all that kind

0:31:05.320 --> 0:31:10.840
<v Speaker 1>of stuff or no, no, no, I'm gonna be a

0:31:10.840 --> 0:31:13.640
<v Speaker 1>lot of people that find out a lot about me

0:31:13.720 --> 0:31:17.680
<v Speaker 1>from this show coming out. That was one of the

0:31:17.720 --> 0:31:20.800
<v Speaker 1>weirdest things for me in my experience was having x

0:31:21.000 --> 0:31:24.720
<v Speaker 1>IS I guess see me on TV and then reach

0:31:24.760 --> 0:31:26.640
<v Speaker 1>out And it's always funny to see just kind of

0:31:26.680 --> 0:31:28.920
<v Speaker 1>like the disparities between certain people that you used to

0:31:28.960 --> 0:31:31.880
<v Speaker 1>be in your life and what they would say. But um,

0:31:31.920 --> 0:31:34.440
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, I mean that's it's it's interesting. Being vulnerable

0:31:34.480 --> 0:31:37.920
<v Speaker 1>is one thing. Being vulnerable on television is something completely different. So,

0:31:37.960 --> 0:31:39.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, good to see you guys. Hopefully there's not.

0:31:40.320 --> 0:31:42.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't expect there to be any negative backlash specifically

0:31:42.600 --> 0:31:45.040
<v Speaker 1>from the x IS, but usually it's coming from a

0:31:46.040 --> 0:31:47.840
<v Speaker 1>jealous place. I would say, yeah, in terms of an

0:31:47.920 --> 0:31:49.920
<v Speaker 1>x to speak on that, it is it's not even

0:31:49.960 --> 0:31:54.160
<v Speaker 1>about the negative aspect. It's more so you know, you

0:31:54.160 --> 0:31:58.200
<v Speaker 1>don't think about an X watching you date on TV

0:31:58.560 --> 0:32:00.720
<v Speaker 1>when you're going through this journey. Not to like scare

0:32:00.760 --> 0:32:04.480
<v Speaker 1>you guys, but it is weird. I can attest to

0:32:04.600 --> 0:32:08.440
<v Speaker 1>dean Um that, you know, I I had a very

0:32:08.440 --> 0:32:13.200
<v Speaker 1>significant X and it was just weird for her to

0:32:13.480 --> 0:32:16.960
<v Speaker 1>like see these intimate moments that she's had with me

0:32:17.120 --> 0:32:20.880
<v Speaker 1>being played out on television. So it's definitely it's a

0:32:20.880 --> 0:32:24.640
<v Speaker 1>weird experience. Yeah, I do think it's weird when you

0:32:24.680 --> 0:32:29.200
<v Speaker 1>think about it. Yeah, you never think like you never think, oh, yeah,

0:32:29.240 --> 0:32:31.719
<v Speaker 1>one day my ex is gonna be dating on television.

0:32:31.840 --> 0:32:34.480
<v Speaker 1>You just that that thought never never crossed my mind.

0:32:35.400 --> 0:32:40.960
<v Speaker 1>So shout out to all the exes out there, see

0:32:40.960 --> 0:32:44.200

0:33:06.440 --> 0:33:09.680
<v Speaker 1>think anybody's gonna expect you know, what's going to happen

0:33:09.800 --> 0:33:14.400
<v Speaker 1>with me here? Okay, all right, so there's gonna be

0:33:14.440 --> 0:33:17.040

0:33:17.160 --> 0:33:24.280
<v Speaker 1>ninety degrees, that's right there. I will say that there

0:33:24.600 --> 0:33:29.959
<v Speaker 1>is a plentiful amount of drama. Um, which that's always

0:33:29.960 --> 0:33:37.200

<v Speaker 1>to send emails from an anonymous account for this podcast,

0:35:56.440 --> 0:35:59.160

<v Speaker 1>to send? Oh? No, I would just make up some

0:36:02.600 --> 0:36:06.000

0:36:06.000 --> 0:36:07.799
<v Speaker 1>your personal life you and Klin. Just send it an

<v Speaker 1>something that you need to do over the next let's

0:36:12.600 --> 0:36:15.560

<v Speaker 1>I need you to send in an email as anonymous.

0:36:18.480 --> 0:36:22.000
<v Speaker 1>But it's an actual question about yours and Klin's relationship,

0:36:22.360 --> 0:36:25.680
<v Speaker 1>and we have to guess live on the podcast if

0:36:25.719 --> 0:36:29.520
<v Speaker 1>we think it's from you. Okay, Yeah, that's that's fine.

0:36:29.520 --> 0:36:31.080
<v Speaker 1>We'll just play this game from now on until the

0:36:31.160 --> 0:36:35.000
<v Speaker 1>end of two. Anytime an anonymous email rolls in. You

0:36:35.000 --> 0:36:36.640
<v Speaker 1>guys will have to decide whether or not you think

0:36:36.640 --> 0:36:39.239
<v Speaker 1>it's from me. You know, it's frustrating, Mark, what's up?

0:36:39.920 --> 0:36:43.239
<v Speaker 1>Dean's not gonna do this? You're right because this is

0:36:43.320 --> 0:36:45.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of Dean's thing. He talks about stuff but never

0:36:45.560 --> 0:36:49.200
<v Speaker 1>does it. That's why Carolin is gonna have to propose. Yes, Um, Mark,

0:36:49.320 --> 0:36:51.000
<v Speaker 1>I feel like you know me a little too well.

0:36:51.040 --> 0:36:53.920
<v Speaker 1>If you're down good by the way, I'm happy to

0:36:53.920 --> 0:36:57.319
<v Speaker 1>be here this week. Eastern's here, Jared's here, Hanna is here,

0:36:57.360 --> 0:36:59.759
<v Speaker 1>and the reason we're all here because we heard last

0:36:59.760 --> 0:37:04.359
<v Speaker 1>week episode, so we're all hands on deck this week. Yeah. Yeah,

0:37:04.360 --> 0:37:06.239
<v Speaker 1>that's really nice to you guys. Um, if you haven't

0:37:06.280 --> 0:37:08.560
<v Speaker 1>listened to last week's episode, you didn't miss much. But

0:37:08.640 --> 0:37:11.319
<v Speaker 1>it was just me by myself. Hannah was obviously there

0:37:11.360 --> 0:37:13.520
<v Speaker 1>as well a little bit. Riley was there, but I

0:37:13.560 --> 0:37:15.720
<v Speaker 1>didn't have Jared, I didn't have Mark, I didn't have Easton,

0:37:16.520 --> 0:37:19.120
<v Speaker 1>And let's be honest, you three are the clear backbone

0:37:19.160 --> 0:37:21.040
<v Speaker 1>of this podcast. If it just took me missing a

0:37:21.080 --> 0:37:24.080
<v Speaker 1>podcast to get everybody else here fully loaded, I'm gonna

0:37:24.080 --> 0:37:26.480
<v Speaker 1>start missing more weeks. Let's do this. I like it.

0:37:26.480 --> 0:37:29.040
<v Speaker 1>I like when everybody's here. It really does feel like

0:37:29.080 --> 0:37:31.359
<v Speaker 1>we're being spoiled when we get everyone like this, all right,

0:37:31.440 --> 0:37:33.799
<v Speaker 1>this is from Emily. This is not anonymous. We will

0:37:33.840 --> 0:37:35.600
<v Speaker 1>not be playing the game. This is from Emily, and

0:37:35.600 --> 0:37:37.080
<v Speaker 1>I think this is something a lot of people are

0:37:37.120 --> 0:37:40.719
<v Speaker 1>going through this time of year. Emily says, Thanksgiving us

0:37:40.760 --> 0:37:43.000
<v Speaker 1>next week, and I'm starting to get stressed. There's so

0:37:43.080 --> 0:37:46.600
<v Speaker 1>much pressure with relationships around the holidays. I've been seeing

0:37:46.600 --> 0:37:48.799
<v Speaker 1>this guy for about five months now, and my mom

0:37:48.880 --> 0:37:51.920
<v Speaker 1>is begging to meet him. Last week, I was in

0:37:51.920 --> 0:37:53.840
<v Speaker 1>the car with him talking to my mom on speaker

0:37:53.840 --> 0:37:56.320
<v Speaker 1>phone and he said she wants to meet him whatever.

0:37:56.360 --> 0:37:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Since then, he keeps asking when am I going to

0:37:58.600 --> 0:38:01.440
<v Speaker 1>meet your family. I'm afraid if I introduce him to

0:38:01.520 --> 0:38:04.480
<v Speaker 1>my family around the holidays, it's going to feel more

0:38:04.560 --> 0:38:08.720
<v Speaker 1>serious and speed things up between us. I'm super happy

0:38:08.760 --> 0:38:11.160
<v Speaker 1>at the pace we're moving and where we currently stand,

0:38:11.480 --> 0:38:13.520
<v Speaker 1>but also I don't want him to think I don't

0:38:13.520 --> 0:38:17.800
<v Speaker 1>care about him by not introducing him. Yeah, it's definitely

0:38:17.880 --> 0:38:19.880
<v Speaker 1>kind of like make your Break season in these weird,

0:38:20.080 --> 0:38:24.360
<v Speaker 1>uh purgatory relationships where you're dating but you're not boyfriend, girlfriend,

0:38:24.440 --> 0:38:26.080
<v Speaker 1>you don't know if it's gonna go long term or not,

0:38:26.160 --> 0:38:28.720
<v Speaker 1>so you don't want to introduce him to the family. UM.

0:38:28.760 --> 0:38:31.680
<v Speaker 1>I think we should all answer this first and foremost,

0:38:31.680 --> 0:38:34.560
<v Speaker 1>So Eastern Hannah, Mark, get your get your answers ready,

0:38:34.440 --> 0:38:37.640
<v Speaker 1>but Dean, get your thinking, get your thinking caps on. UM.

0:38:37.680 --> 0:38:41.279
<v Speaker 1>In my experience, if you like the person enough and

0:38:41.320 --> 0:38:42.719
<v Speaker 1>you know you're gonna be with him for a while,

0:38:42.800 --> 0:38:44.560
<v Speaker 1>why not just bring him over to meet the family,

0:38:44.640 --> 0:38:47.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, like, if you if you like him enough

0:38:47.040 --> 0:38:48.840
<v Speaker 1>to kind of continue dating him as it seems like

0:38:48.880 --> 0:38:51.080
<v Speaker 1>you have been, just bring him in and meet the family.

0:38:51.120 --> 0:38:53.000
<v Speaker 1>And a lot of times the family can kind of

0:38:53.000 --> 0:38:56.160
<v Speaker 1>help you make decisions too. It's like, you know, you

0:38:56.239 --> 0:38:58.040
<v Speaker 1>might not want to say it, but like your parents

0:38:58.080 --> 0:39:00.680
<v Speaker 1>and your siblings definitely a factor into your decision making

0:39:00.680 --> 0:39:03.000
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to dating. So I don't think it's

0:39:03.000 --> 0:39:04.600
<v Speaker 1>never I don't think it's ever really a bad thing

0:39:04.640 --> 0:39:07.879
<v Speaker 1>to bring them into your household for the holidays if

0:39:07.960 --> 0:39:12.600
<v Speaker 1>you actually see it lasting longer than more than just like, mom,

0:39:12.640 --> 0:39:15.600
<v Speaker 1>come on, it's been five months. I get that you

0:39:15.600 --> 0:39:18.080
<v Speaker 1>don't want to make the relationships speed up, but at

0:39:18.080 --> 0:39:21.520
<v Speaker 1>the same time, it's the holidays he's gonna be around

0:39:21.520 --> 0:39:24.080
<v Speaker 1>the family at some point. You might as will introduce

0:39:24.160 --> 0:39:26.200
<v Speaker 1>him now see if they get along. I mean, hell,

0:39:26.320 --> 0:39:30.560
<v Speaker 1>the Bachelor introduces them to their family like three weeks in,

0:39:30.840 --> 0:39:33.520
<v Speaker 1>so let's five months is plenty of time. You're not

0:39:33.600 --> 0:39:38.080
<v Speaker 1>speeding anything up. Meet mom. Five months there is a

0:39:38.080 --> 0:39:39.640
<v Speaker 1>good amount of time to be a mom. I think

0:39:39.680 --> 0:39:42.080
<v Speaker 1>that's normal, and I also think, unfortunately, Emily, I don't

0:39:42.120 --> 0:39:43.799
<v Speaker 1>think you have a choice here. I don't think you

0:39:43.800 --> 0:39:46.160
<v Speaker 1>can just kind of hide him throughout the holidays. I

0:39:46.200 --> 0:39:47.920
<v Speaker 1>think you've got to bring him to mom, whether you

0:39:47.920 --> 0:39:50.879
<v Speaker 1>want to or not. I know he's in the minor

0:39:50.960 --> 0:39:53.239
<v Speaker 1>leagues right now, and that automatically puts him in the

0:39:53.239 --> 0:39:54.759
<v Speaker 1>major leagues, and you may not want him in the

0:39:54.760 --> 0:39:57.280
<v Speaker 1>major leagues. I think everyone will get back to normal though,

0:39:57.400 --> 0:39:59.319
<v Speaker 1>once the new year comes around, and then you can

0:39:59.320 --> 0:40:01.960
<v Speaker 1>really decide if this is worth happening or not. I'm

0:40:02.000 --> 0:40:04.480
<v Speaker 1>concerned about the future of this relationship because you don't

0:40:04.520 --> 0:40:07.279
<v Speaker 1>seem excited about him meeting your parents. So I don't

0:40:07.280 --> 0:40:09.000
<v Speaker 1>know how if a year from now you're gonna have

0:40:09.040 --> 0:40:12.080
<v Speaker 1>the same problem. But I don't think you have a choice.

0:40:12.120 --> 0:40:14.040
<v Speaker 1>You gotta do it. Yeah, Emily is either embarrassed by

0:40:14.080 --> 0:40:16.120
<v Speaker 1>the family or embarrassed by the boyfriend. It's one of

0:40:16.200 --> 0:40:18.640
<v Speaker 1>the other. Right now, I mean, what's the worst that

0:40:18.680 --> 0:40:20.400
<v Speaker 1>will happen if you introduce him to the parents. Is

0:40:20.400 --> 0:40:22.719
<v Speaker 1>he gonna start a business with your uncle Bob? You know, Like,

0:40:23.120 --> 0:40:25.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what's gonna happen with everyone from now on,

0:40:25.640 --> 0:40:27.600
<v Speaker 1>how's your boyfriend? How's your boyfriend? Talked about the one

0:40:27.600 --> 0:40:29.000
<v Speaker 1>with your boyfriend? It's gonna be a lot of that

0:40:29.080 --> 0:40:31.279
<v Speaker 1>from mom and dad and brothers and sisters. You know.

0:40:31.400 --> 0:40:34.480
<v Speaker 1>I brought Allison to my grandparents house for the holidays

0:40:34.560 --> 0:40:37.000
<v Speaker 1>after we've been dating for like seven months or something,

0:40:37.080 --> 0:40:39.200
<v Speaker 1>and everything. Obviously everything was fine, we got married, But

0:40:40.040 --> 0:40:43.880
<v Speaker 1>there's ma from that event where we're all taking like pictures,

0:40:44.040 --> 0:40:46.719
<v Speaker 1>and at one point my aunt asked Allison, She's like,

0:40:46.800 --> 0:40:49.719
<v Speaker 1>could you take one of everybody? Like I think she

0:40:49.800 --> 0:40:52.160
<v Speaker 1>was like, we don't want if they break up in

0:40:52.280 --> 0:40:56.319
<v Speaker 1>six months. Yes, they're not family yet, Alison. That's the

0:40:56.320 --> 0:40:59.160
<v Speaker 1>funny thing that Alison will never forget. But at that

0:40:59.239 --> 0:41:02.600
<v Speaker 1>funny moment, now so Eastern, You're you're in the camp

0:41:02.680 --> 0:41:07.000
<v Speaker 1>of inviting him to Thanksgiving. Yeah, enviting Thanksgiving I say,

0:41:07.000 --> 0:41:08.759
<v Speaker 1>if you've been dating someone for two weeks, you should

0:41:08.800 --> 0:41:11.480
<v Speaker 1>invite them to Thanksgiving. I think that it's the more

0:41:11.560 --> 0:41:14.399
<v Speaker 1>the merrier, just invite him. I gotta say too, as

0:41:14.560 --> 0:41:17.400
<v Speaker 1>as we age, like as we become adults, um, getting

0:41:17.440 --> 0:41:21.160
<v Speaker 1>invited to things like Thanksgiving, especially for people, uh that

0:41:21.360 --> 0:41:23.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, don't have very close family ties, like myself,

0:41:23.680 --> 0:41:25.520
<v Speaker 1>it's always so nice. It's always so nice to like

0:41:25.560 --> 0:41:27.279
<v Speaker 1>have an outlet just to be like, yeah, I'd love

0:41:27.320 --> 0:41:29.239
<v Speaker 1>to come on, you know, over to Thanksgiving. How anything

0:41:29.239 --> 0:41:32.440
<v Speaker 1>else planned? So maybe like hopefully this guy has like

0:41:32.520 --> 0:41:35.399
<v Speaker 1>Thanksgiving with his family planned. That way you can invite him.

0:41:35.640 --> 0:41:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Maybe he can say he's gonna go to Thanksgiving with

0:41:37.480 --> 0:41:39.400
<v Speaker 1>his family instead, but like, at least that way, you

0:41:39.400 --> 0:41:41.600
<v Speaker 1>know he was invited, he knows he was invited, and

0:41:41.640 --> 0:41:42.880
<v Speaker 1>even if he didn't have a place to go, then

0:41:42.880 --> 0:41:44.560
<v Speaker 1>you're still kind of, you know, taking him under your

0:41:44.560 --> 0:41:45.840
<v Speaker 1>wing and bringing him over. So I think it's a

0:41:45.880 --> 0:41:48.120
<v Speaker 1>good thing all around. We have yet to hear from

0:41:48.160 --> 0:41:52.560
<v Speaker 1>the smartest person in the room, Hannah, what are your thoughts?

0:41:53.760 --> 0:41:57.839
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, Well, I'm inviting my boyfriend to Thanksgiving

0:41:57.920 --> 0:42:00.000
<v Speaker 1>this year for the first time. But we've been together

0:42:00.120 --> 0:42:03.840
<v Speaker 1>for four years, but he's been around my family around

0:42:03.840 --> 0:42:07.440
<v Speaker 1>the holidays, but not actually on the day. But I

0:42:07.480 --> 0:42:12.600
<v Speaker 1>think that she could bring him around around the holidays.

0:42:12.640 --> 0:42:15.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I do agree that bringing him around

0:42:15.200 --> 0:42:20.560
<v Speaker 1>on the actual day, like on Thanksgiving or on Christmas. Serious, Yeah,

0:42:20.560 --> 0:42:23.080
<v Speaker 1>that's a big step. Four years. How did you avoid

0:42:23.680 --> 0:42:26.000
<v Speaker 1>like last year? I guess last year was COVID, So

0:42:26.040 --> 0:42:27.799
<v Speaker 1>maybe we threw a wrench in there. But even two

0:42:27.880 --> 0:42:29.600
<v Speaker 1>years ago, you guys were dating for two years and

0:42:29.640 --> 0:42:32.160
<v Speaker 1>he's still incoming for the holidays. Well, I mean he

0:42:32.200 --> 0:42:34.440
<v Speaker 1>would come around the time, but on the actual day,

0:42:34.480 --> 0:42:36.000
<v Speaker 1>he would want to be with this family. I would

0:42:36.000 --> 0:42:37.759
<v Speaker 1>want to be with my family. And we're still young.

0:42:38.600 --> 0:42:40.640
<v Speaker 1>But now I feel like we're at the age where

0:42:40.960 --> 0:42:44.040
<v Speaker 1>he's living where my family lives up in Norclso just

0:42:44.120 --> 0:42:47.319
<v Speaker 1>makes more sense. Yeah, now you're old, it makes more sense. Yeah,

0:42:47.360 --> 0:42:49.360
<v Speaker 1>But I agree with what Dean said. I think getting

0:42:49.360 --> 0:42:53.080
<v Speaker 1>the family's opinion and having them meet him could kind

0:42:53.080 --> 0:42:56.799
<v Speaker 1>of be insightful and could help guide her if I

0:42:56.800 --> 0:42:59.200
<v Speaker 1>don't know if this actually is going to work out

0:42:59.280 --> 0:43:02.479
<v Speaker 1>or not. It's also good market research, you know, because

0:43:02.480 --> 0:43:05.360
<v Speaker 1>you're supposed to be like, oh, you're like, oh, I

0:43:05.400 --> 0:43:08.080
<v Speaker 1>love it. He's so funny, he's great. He was so

0:43:08.160 --> 0:43:10.400
<v Speaker 1>helpfully helped clean up after dinner, Like it's good to

0:43:10.440 --> 0:43:14.360
<v Speaker 1>kind of see how he interact with these people focus group. Absolutely,

0:43:14.400 --> 0:43:18.640
<v Speaker 1>I gotta say too. I have always firmly I've always

0:43:18.640 --> 0:43:20.920
<v Speaker 1>firmly believed that I never needed my family's approval with

0:43:20.960 --> 0:43:23.080
<v Speaker 1>the person I was dating. That like, if I like someone,

0:43:23.120 --> 0:43:25.680
<v Speaker 1>I liked him and I didn't care what they said. Um,

0:43:25.719 --> 0:43:27.360
<v Speaker 1>but I think I told the story already on this

0:43:27.360 --> 0:43:29.920
<v Speaker 1>podcast before last time, I brought Klein. Uh, well, I

0:43:29.920 --> 0:43:32.120
<v Speaker 1>brought Kaylin and my brothers many times, my oldest brother,

0:43:32.400 --> 0:43:34.239
<v Speaker 1>the person I look up to more even more than Mark,

0:43:34.280 --> 0:43:36.719
<v Speaker 1>if you can believe that or not. Um. Yeah, so

0:43:36.800 --> 0:43:39.439
<v Speaker 1>you know I love the guy really really quite a bit. Uh.

0:43:39.480 --> 0:43:41.200
<v Speaker 1>He pulled me aside and he's like, you know what, Team,

0:43:41.600 --> 0:43:43.040
<v Speaker 1>I feel like you finally got it right with Klein,

0:43:43.080 --> 0:43:44.359
<v Speaker 1>and I'm really proud of you. And I was like,

0:43:44.400 --> 0:43:46.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, I never realized how much I needed to

0:43:46.480 --> 0:43:48.759
<v Speaker 1>hear that from you before, but it did. It makes

0:43:48.760 --> 0:43:51.080
<v Speaker 1>a difference. So to get your family's approval on someone

0:43:51.160 --> 0:43:53.760
<v Speaker 1>is it's I think it's pretty important. That's a sweet story.

0:43:53.920 --> 0:43:55.799
<v Speaker 1>That is a sweet story. So the second emails from

0:43:55.800 --> 0:43:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Capri and Market don't many stuff undershows. But I'm curious

0:43:58.120 --> 0:44:00.600
<v Speaker 1>because it's four questions. Could we do a speed round

0:44:00.600 --> 0:44:03.160
<v Speaker 1>where all of this answer really quickly? Okay, fine, here

0:44:03.160 --> 0:44:06.040
<v Speaker 1>we go, Caprice says, first question, what was your first

0:44:06.040 --> 0:44:10.360
<v Speaker 1>impression about your partner? She cries a lot, Yeah, dramatic

0:44:12.000 --> 0:44:20.720
<v Speaker 1>giant asked you better be talking about Alison. I am okay, eyes,

0:44:20.840 --> 0:44:26.880
<v Speaker 1>eyes and face in general. Mm hmmm nice. Huh, athlete,

0:44:27.000 --> 0:44:31.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, okay, Okay. Have you started to do

0:44:31.680 --> 0:44:38.320
<v Speaker 1>something because of each other's influence? Uh? I've I've showered

0:44:38.360 --> 0:44:41.879
<v Speaker 1>more often because of her. Thank God for Klein, Thank

0:44:41.920 --> 0:44:49.759
<v Speaker 1>you Wolf Jared. I would say I've definitely um been more.

0:44:50.719 --> 0:44:53.960
<v Speaker 1>I've been able to articulate more directly what I want

0:44:54.040 --> 0:44:57.480
<v Speaker 1>in life. I mean, it's been twenty four years. It's

0:44:57.480 --> 0:44:59.200
<v Speaker 1>a long list, but I'll say I've become a dog

0:44:59.239 --> 0:45:01.759
<v Speaker 1>lover because I never had pets growing up. You are

0:45:01.840 --> 0:45:04.960
<v Speaker 1>a dog lover before your wife, I we didn't have any.

0:45:05.040 --> 0:45:07.120
<v Speaker 1>I didn't have any paths of dogs, cats, didn't have anything.

0:45:07.239 --> 0:45:09.520
<v Speaker 1>I ever lived with a dog until my wife. Well,

0:45:09.560 --> 0:45:12.359
<v Speaker 1>at least you've come to the right side now, Thank you, Jared.

0:45:13.640 --> 0:45:15.239
<v Speaker 1>I mean I have a long list too, but the

0:45:15.320 --> 0:45:17.200
<v Speaker 1>two that come to mine are drinking more water and

0:45:17.200 --> 0:45:20.839
<v Speaker 1>we're in sunscreen. Oh, sunscreen. Nice. I haven't come around

0:45:20.880 --> 0:45:24.120
<v Speaker 1>the sunscreen thing yet, but maybe one day mine would

0:45:24.160 --> 0:45:29.680
<v Speaker 1>be to be better about managing my money. Okay. Will

0:45:29.719 --> 0:45:31.759
<v Speaker 1>you say sorry to your partner even if it's not

0:45:31.800 --> 0:45:37.680
<v Speaker 1>your fault? Yes, all the time I do it. It's

0:45:37.680 --> 0:45:41.200
<v Speaker 1>sarcastically pretty often. Um does that count? This is so

0:45:41.320 --> 0:45:45.680
<v Speaker 1>deem to dig it as you. I have a hard enough.

0:45:45.840 --> 0:45:47.560
<v Speaker 1>I had a hard I have a hard enough time

0:45:47.640 --> 0:45:50.000
<v Speaker 1>saying sorry when it actually is something I'm sorry for.

0:45:50.239 --> 0:45:54.120
<v Speaker 1>So if it's not my fault, I uh, you're a

0:45:54.120 --> 0:45:55.600
<v Speaker 1>hard press to get me to say sorry if it's

0:45:55.600 --> 0:45:58.880
<v Speaker 1>not my fault. Of course. Also, whatever brings peace sooner

0:45:58.960 --> 0:46:01.719
<v Speaker 1>I will do thousand it. Yeah. I say when it's

0:46:01.719 --> 0:46:07.480
<v Speaker 1>not my fault almost exclusively, and my answer is absolutely not.

0:46:07.640 --> 0:46:10.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm so sorry. Yeah. Nice. Me and Hannah we got
