10
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: I did. First off, people are crazy. Second off, that

11
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: was the bride's choice. Like it was a light blue.

12
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: It was a very light blue dress like in the

13
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,279
Speaker 1: second and third photo. They aren't photo shop and they

14
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: still look kind of white. And people. I told Jess

15
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: last night, I said, Jess, people are blowing this up.

16
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: And she goes why. I said, because they think it

17
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: looks white. And she goes, what if the bride wanted

18
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: me to wear white? Is that okay for me to

19
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: wear white? And I said yes, So Jess was the

20
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: turn of honor and so like this was a choice. Um,

21
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: people like people are just wild. They just love to hate.

22
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: They do love to hate. My sister did the exact

23
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 1: same thing once. She wore a light blue dress to

24
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: a wedding. In person, it was very much light blue,

25
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: no confusion about that. But in pictures and like in

26
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: the actual like wedding photos, it did turn out white

27
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: and the bride got piss Yeah. Well, I don't think

28
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: this bride, this bride's not the time brad to get mad.

29
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: It was a beautiful wedding, though it was. We had.

30
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: The wedding was at Frederika Country Club in St. Simon's Island. Um.

31
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 1: Two things from this one. That island is wild. Oh

32
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: my gosh. My aunt and uncle got married on that

33
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: island in Georgia. Yeah, so pretty. You know, I was

34
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: there over fifteen years ago. Still have like a vivid memory.

35
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: Just the feel of the air. It's beautiful. And we

36
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: were playing golf. We played golf two days. Uh and

37
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: uh there is one golf course right next to the

38
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: private airport there on St. Simon's Island. Every ten minutes

39
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: of private jet flies in. So my question for the

40
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: audience is, how does so many people have so much money? Like,

41
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: how does that happen in this world? I don't get it. Uh.

42
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: Second off, I got really some burned. We had a

43
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 1: great day at the beach. Actually, I'll show you. I

44
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: don't think our listeners look at this. Yeah, you know,

45
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: you just have to get your first base of. And

46
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: that's a really bad dermatological advice. And I sure your

47
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: wife would tell you that, but you know it's the truth.

48
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: You know, you gotta burn one before you can get

49
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: to Yeah, some burns aren't fun. I've literally I felt

50
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: like everything I touched yesterday, uh like almost brought me

51
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 1: to my knees. I feel better today, thanks to my

52
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: wife and the alle I showered and then there was

53
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: alo and then Jessica like put cold packs on my

54
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,359

Speaker 1: and miss miss the Pup. What did you do this weekend?

57
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: What did I do this weekend? It was pretty uneventful.

58
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: My baby cried a lot. That's that's pretty much what

59
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: happened this weekend. I wish that I could say that

60
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: something there was something exciting. Not so much. But we

61
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: did have our first karaoke night at Audrey's on Friday,

62
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,679
Speaker 1: and that was a blast. First off, didn't know so

63
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: many people loved karaoke, like was packed and so many

64
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: people willing to do it. I'm just a little chicken.

65
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: I'm a little too embarrassed by my voice. I'll do

66
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: it eventually, but not open and willing. I'm gonna need

67
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: a lot of drinks. Well yeah, I was gonna say,

68
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: you know, you know when I do karaoke that I've

69
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: had a good night. Um, because there's only one way

70
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: I'm getting on that stage, only one way. So next

71
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: time I'm going to need a d D and a babysitter.

72
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: That's right? Is this true? Did Dawson make his first

73
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: appearance to Audrey's this weekend? No, He's been there a ton.

74
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: He comes to every Wednesday Trivia night. The time there.

75
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: He loves being in public. It's really awesome because he's

76
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 1: actually on his best behavior when he's out. When he's home,

77
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: he gets bored and that's when he gets cranky. But

78
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 1: if he's out at a restaurant, he is smiling, he's

79
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: saying hello to everyone. It's really cool. I wondered because

80
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: I saw an Instagram where or TikTok. I don't know

81
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: what you guys, you kids are doing these days, but

82
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: Instagram real Yeah, where Jared had like a shirt on

83
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: with like a baby carrier and he's going around saying

84
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: hi to people and it just looked awesome. That's our

85
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: regular life. Yeah, there're a lot doing that, always hanging

86
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: around like a little monkey on our chest. You know

87
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: what else I realized this weekend, Ashley What there's a

88
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: big difference between thirty three and twenty six. Um, well,

89
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: yeah there are seven years and they are pretty much massive.

90
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: Seven years because was I was on the Bachelor, and

91
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: four is what about now? Well, because Jess's friends we

92
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: all say, in this big, old, beautiful house, fifteen of

93
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: us and I love her friends like they're friends of

94
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 1: mine now. But when it comes to like eleven pm,

95
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: those people have different ideas for how the night's gonna

96
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 1: end than I do. Like in my mind, I'm like

97
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: I've made it to eleven pm, I've done well, We've

98
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: had a great day, and their mind, they're like, this

99
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: day is just getting started. Like, um, that's one thing

100
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 1: I learned, And it's also one thing I learned that

101
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: like I just don't I don't recover well from lack

102
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: of sleep. It's not even drinking, it's lack of sleep. Uh,

103
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: if you're giving me six hours of sleep three days

104
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: in a row, this boy's gonna suffer. Well, can't wait

105
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: for you to enter her paras is not bad and

106
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: I've become I've always been a night owl. I've always

107
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: like had my creative juices roll a little bit better

108
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: at night. I'd like to do how stuff at night,

109
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: but even more so now because say he goes to

110
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: sleep at I know I'm I have him on a

111
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: bad sleep schedule because it's like our adult sleep schedule.

112
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: But he'll fall asleep between probably real like tennis, and

113
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: then I'll have three hours or so to do stuff

114
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: around the house and then, like I enjoyed that time,

115
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: that alone time to get things done from like ten

116
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: to one am, and then I'll feed him and then

117
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: he goes back to bed. So I'm a night owl

118
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: officially again. So like to bring it on. Oh my goodness. Well, hey, uh,

00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: it's not super direct. Yeah you know what I mean,

155
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: Like you might be you might be stretching it to

156
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: say it's throwing shade at Peter Webber, because this is

157
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,599
Speaker 1: what happened. The two of them took pictures at Coachella

158
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: in front of a dumpster or a few dumpsters, and

159
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: the caption said, look, we ran into our exes at Coachella,

160
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: and it's like, okay, but that could have been anyone

161
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: if it was towards Peter, and there's a high likelihood

162
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 1: that it that it was. It is a little bit like,

163
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: oh wow, wow, she went there. Uh huh. It's a

164
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: it's something they're still thinking about it. Uh, this is

165
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: a more positive headline. Thomas Jacobs opens up about his

166
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: plans to proposed to Becca Kouffrin. This according to Bachelor Nation,

00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: But the last thing I want Rebecca is to have

173
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: another grand spectacle. That's so true. Think about that, She's

174
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: gotten engaged on t v R twice, so she doesn't

175

Speaker 1: need a grand spectacle. He said. I want this to

176
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: be a special moment just for us. I want to

177
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: just be able to enjoy that moment the way that

178
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: we want to. That's one of the one of the

179
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,959
Speaker 1: biggest blessings we've had in our relationship. Um. As far

180

Speaker 1: as planning, UM, what's given me any ideas? Um? Well,

212
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes things aren't really a headline. I was

213
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: gonna say, nobody's at I mean, maybe just shows where

214
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: I'm at life compared to Cold. But ain't nobody caring

215
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: what I'm eating for dinner night? I mean, I think

216
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: it's going to be left over post. If anybody does

217
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: care with a salad that was made for lunch, hey,

218
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: you know I do, But I do get curious. I'll

219
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: ask my sister. She calls me like nine pm. I'm like, so,

220
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,720

221
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,079
Speaker 1: I don't really care what Colton made for dinner. I

222
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: don't know, not if I can't talk to him about

223
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 1: like the butter that was the lobster. Dear dear Evans,

224
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 1: Will they celebrate their engagement? Good for them? Hey, Also,

225
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: congratulations to our podcast guest this week, Matt James. He

226
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: sets a personal record after running Boston Marathon. I wish

227
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: we were able to talk to him about this. You

228
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: know that I'm always so mind boggled when people are

229
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 1: able to run marathons. Um But he says that the

230
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: running has been really beneficial for him, and he revealed

231
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: that running was a way for him to take care

232
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: of his mental health. He said that exercise has kept

233
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: his head in the right place and helped him deal

234
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: with everything that's happened since. But the main part of

235
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,319
Speaker 1: this is his personal record. Right, he did the marathon

236
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: in just over three hours and forty nine So three hours,

237
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: that's so inferessive. Ben, What is your mile per you know,

238
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: minute ratio? Oh my, I mean not this, but I

239
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 1: ran an half marathon and I averaged seven minutes in

240
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: ten seconds for the half, which is that's incredible to

241
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: you know what I used to run in high school.

242
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: It was like eight thirty on a good day for

243
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: how many miles? Well, we were forced to run two

244
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: and a half miles in twenty minutes to get an A,

245
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: and it was two miles and a quarter to get

246
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: a B, and then it would be a yeah maybe

247
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: that one time that was not I'm telling you that

248
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: wasn't typical. I got an A in gym class, but

249
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: not in that particular you know event. Oh well your

250
00:14:50,680 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: name in my book and you worked out just fine.

251
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: Hey Ashley, Uh, super interesting feedback from Coachella this year.

252
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: You know, there were stories of side parties outside of

253
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: Coachella kind of turning into firefast. I don't even know buses,

254
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: Yeah I did. I read a bunch of articles. Busses

255
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: couldn't get to the pickup location and so people stood

256
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: out in the sun without water food for hours waiting

257
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: for busses that never showed up, or if they did

258
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: show up, they were packed out. Um. It just ended

259
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: up being kind of a mess. Now, people did make

260
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: it to the Revolved party and it sounded like it

261
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: was awesome. We saw Instagram videos from those. Um, but

262
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: people are kind of making fun of it because you know,

263
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: there was videos where people were like, I'm an influencer.

264
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: I have this fower posted that and I couldn't believe

265
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: are an influencer. Influencers are allowed in. Yeah, it's it

266
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: was ridiculous. Um. But anyways, Coachella, you know, for as

267
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: much people to make fun of it, people also like

268
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: to attend it and go to it. It It looks like

269
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. But Nick Vile, Brie Springs, and

270
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: Hannah Godwin and more Bachelor Nations stars attended Coachella in

271
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: style this year. That's according to Bachelor Nation. Well but Ben,

272
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: you said it looks like a lot of fun. You

273
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: know that doesn't look like a lot of fun to you. No,

274
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: not to me, No, not to me. I'm pretty good.

275
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: I've never been. It looks amiss to me. But the

276
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: outfits are amazing. And shout out to Nick and his

277
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: girlfriend and Brief Springs and Hannah Godwin for having and

279
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: Amandistan and like everybody who went and looked amazing. Like

280
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: I do really joy seeing all the pretty pictures and

281
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, I could never look that cool. I mean,

282
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: that's why I don't like going is because I just

283
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: know if I win, I tried to dress cool, I

284
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: would look like a fool. Could you imagine me? And

285
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: Jared going there and like whearing hippie clothes. It just

286
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: wouldn't work for us. No, that's just not it's not

287
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: our thing here. Actually, it's not what we're like. It's

288
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: not what makes us feel most alive, and so as

289
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,959
Speaker 1: a result, we don't do it. But I was watching

290
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: the Instagram videos at time, getting envious and jealous honestly

291
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: of them there, and then and then it would hit

292
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: me It's like, yeah, but if I was there, that

293
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,719
Speaker 1: means I had to travel there and stand in the

294
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: heat there and listen to really love music there and

295
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 1: be up for hours and people on drugs and then

296
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: like um, not being able to get an uber and

297
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 1: then like wanting to drive but not having a place

298
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: to park, and then having to walk two miles in

299
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: the heat and then all that dust being swept into

300
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,959
Speaker 1: your lungs and you know, yeah, so then then then

301
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: I come back to reality. They're just jealous they weren't invited. No,

302
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 1: that's fair too well. I mean there's a moment where

303
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 1: I was jealous that we weren't there, and then like

304
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,880
Speaker 1: I said, reality hit and I was like, no, I'm

305
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,159
Speaker 1: pretty good, pretty good, you know what I'm jealous of?

306
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,719
Speaker 1: I'm jealous. I am jealous of the fact that like

307
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: fashion brands don't look at me and be like, you

308
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: know what, she's cool. She would look really cool in

309
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: our clothes. Like that makes me like a little sad.

310
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: It makes me sad too, but hey, I'll get over it. Uh.

311
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: Mari Peppin shares a wedding planning update for her and Kenny.

312
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: It's a big day, they say, this is exciting. Yeah,

313
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: so they took a trip or their wedding planning. They

314
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: took a wedding planning trip to Puerto Rico for inspiration.

315
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: She says, they don't have a date yet, um, but

316
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: the trip was all about getting the process started getting

317
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: ideas and she said she has so many ideas now.

318
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: She said, I thought I had so many ideas just

319
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: because my Pinterest bore But now I know what colors

320
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: to use and the cake and everything like that. And

321
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 1: as for Kenny's role, Mari says, he's involved, but he's

322
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: letting her really make her vision come to life. Again.

323
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: There isn't a date yet, but they have a few

324
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 1: ideas sorted out. But like where it's gonna take place? Um,

325
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: They agreed that they will get married in Puerto Rico

326
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: because she has a lot of family there, her grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, everyone.

327
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: She says, um, so they haven't narrowed down to four venues,

328
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: but they haven't been able to see them all in

329
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: person yet, just through pictures online. So these are the

330
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: things that they had to get off the checklist. What

331
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: a what a special day love story coming from Bachelor

332
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: in Paradise. Well, uh, one of the women that I

333
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: was on The Bachelor with, Amanda Stanton, has recently opened

334
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 1: up about why she doesn't discuss her daughter's dad publicly. Yeah. So,

335
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 1: Amanda was actually on our Mother's Day podcast last week

336
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,919
Speaker 1: and she talks a little bit about the girls, of

337
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: course because it's Mother's Day and how much they matured.

338
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: It was Kinsley's tenth birthday this weekend, but she doesn't

339
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: really talk about the dad, their dad, and that is

340
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: obviously very respectable. She says, I avoid these questions because

341
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 1: I've never I've mentioned anything in the past. It always

342
00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: tends to get picked up by the media, and that's

343
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: not what I want. It's conflicting because I have so

344
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 1: much to say about what I've gone through and what

345
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,880
Speaker 1: I've learned that I know I could truly, I could

346
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 1: truly help people by explaining what I've gone through, especially

347
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: single parents. Um, but I have to do as best

348
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: with my girls always and protect my piece, which is

349
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: really important to me these days. So she says that

350
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 1: that's basically why she doesn't talk about any of the

351
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: relationship that she has with the ex husband, And she said,

352
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: the last time I vaguely answered a question about it,

353
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 1: like if we have a relationship was over two years ago,

354
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: and I just said something along the lines of no,

355
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 1: we don't, and I don't think we ever will. And

356
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,120
Speaker 1: that still holds true. Um, I'm genuinely rooting for him,

357
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,479
Speaker 1: and I hope it can change one day. Um, and

358
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 1: for anybody in a similar situation, she says, I just

359
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: hope that you know you're not alone and I'm sending

360
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: you so much love. So obviously, like she has a

361
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: little bit of a relationship to the point where like

362
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 1: she needs to switch the girls off when they go

363
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: to their dads and stuff, but there's no like friendship there. Well, um,

364
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: some questions answered. I know people have wondered about that.

365
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 1: But it's also great on Amanda to keep her private

366
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: life private and to share with US public people. What

367
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 1: she wants to share with US public people. Well, last

368
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,400
Speaker 1: headline of a day something, UM and somebody that went

369
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: public recently with their relationship, Hannah Ann. You might remember

372
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,760

Speaker 1: Angeles Rams. Yeah, they came out about their relationship on

00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: get acquainted with his world, his football world, and uh

392
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: he's teaching her all about the scoring rules of NFL

393
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: games so she'll be more of a fan. She said

394
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: she grew up in the South, where it was all

395
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 1: about college football versus NFL, and she went to her

396
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: first NFL game when they just first started dating. You've

397
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 1: never been to an NFL game before, so like, yeah,

398
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: that's pretty crazy. It's so funny. I'm so far removed

399
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 1: from college football, Like I just I don't know anything

400
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: about college football, but I love my NFL. It's all

401
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: about where you grew up. Yeah, but it scored the same,

402
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 1: so you learn, Well, what she means here is she

403
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,199
Speaker 1: doesn't mean scored like you know what a touchdown is,

404
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: you know six points. What she means is um like

405
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: NFL overtime rules. I think, well, hey, I mean that's great,

406
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: but once you learn one, you learn both, and so

407
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 1: you just it's kind of one of those things that's

408
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: really beneficial for everybody learned this is football rules. Um yeah, well, hey,
