29
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,440

30
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 3: stressful and all the things. And I woke up, got

00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 3: Yep.

00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: I got in a little bit later than you because

Speaker 2: my only only thing here was tonight the wrap up. Yep.

45
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 2: So you were at the actual function. What happened.

46
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 3: It was amazing.

47
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 4: So you go there, Yeah, you're watching an unfold.

48
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 2: In real time.

49
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 4: I mean, you know these ladies.

50
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 2: I don't know these ladies I met several tonight, love

51
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 2: them like you did. You have an investment in one

52
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 2: person over another, you know.

53
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 3: What I actually so I met them both when I

54
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 3: came right here a couple doors down, and Leslie immediately

55
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 3: knew who I was and came running up to meet

56
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 3: with Ellen. Ellen and Leslie were like, oh my gosh, Drista,

57
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 3: you know, like screaming my name, gave me a huge hug.

58
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 4: That's nice.

59
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 3: And Teresa too, was so kind and sweet. So I

60
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 3: I loved both of them. I honestly didn't. I don't.

61
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 3: I don't like spoilers. I don't know how you feel

62
00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 3: about spots.

63
00:02:58,880 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 4: I give a spoiler.

64
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:00,959
Speaker 3: Well, I know I'm not saying that.

65
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:02,399
Speaker 4: Oh no, I don't like spoilers either.

66
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 3: I don't like spoilers. And I could have very well

67
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 3: found out when had happened, and I didn't want to

68
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 3: because I don't like spoilers. But I will say so.

69
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 3: The whole thing with how Gary says like, you know,

70
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 3: I can't choose the person I'm going to live with.

71
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 3: I want to choose the person I can't live without.

72
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 3: That came back.

73
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 2: That's you. I remember you saying. That's why I was

74
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 2: left on the cutting and floor. So that's why I

75
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 2: wasn't in episode eight.

76
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 4: Nine, Season four.

77
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 3: So we are sitting at this table having lunch. I

78
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 3: screwed over. I asked him how it's going, and you know,

79
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 3: we get into this conversation and that's where that advice

80
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 3: came from. But when we were talking, I swear and

81
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 3: I have a really bad memory, as I think, you know,

82
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 3: I have a horrible, horrible memory, and I think that

83
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 3: he told me. I said, so who are you excited about?

84
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 3: And I swear I thought he said Faith and Leslie

85
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 3: and Teresa wasn't like mentioned. But that doesn't mean that

86
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 3: he wasn't thinking about Teresa. It's just I didn't have

87
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 3: her on my life.

88
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 4: Later, yeah, because in a moment well.

89
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 3: And honestly, he was just in the moment, like whatever

90
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 3: he said, what he said, it there's no bearing on

91
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 3: it whatsoever. Because as you'll see in the episode, or

92
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 3: what people will have seen tonight, is that things grew

93
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 3: pretty drastically for Teresa and Gary in the Fantasy Suite.

94
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 3: That's so bad and it changed things a lot.

95
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 2: I think that's why the Fantasy Suite is ultimately important,

96
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 2: because it doesn't matter what goes on behind closed doors,

97
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 2: but it totally matters what goes on behind closed doors.

98
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 2: It could be conversations, could be emotional, it could be

99
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 2: a lot of things. Doesn't have to be physical, but

100
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 2: I'm sure there's some of that as well. But I

101
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 2: think that that's probably the biggest moment because it's the

102
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 2: first time you're not on camera.

103
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 3: Think I think it's because you can trust, like there's

104
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 3: a trust element to it that the person is being themselves.

105
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, think about think about it. Back to

106
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 2: your season. I mean, this is, you know, twenty years

107
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 2: ago for us when it was your season on The Bachelorette.

108
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 2: I mean, you're behind closed doors with Ryan, and I

109
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 2: can only imagine the mayhem that went behind there. But

110
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 2: that's not what we're talking about right now. What we're

111
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 2: really talking about is the emotional sharing, you know, because

112
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 2: he's an emotion like you you knew he was my

113
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 2: bunkmate in our little horrible man Shuts.

114
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 3: I'm not nothing like we're it's gorgeous.

115
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 2: But it was like, you know, he was writing you

116
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 2: poetry every night. He was doing things that that were

117
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 2: genuinely they weren't only seen on the show, but they

118
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 2: were seen, but they weren't seen. The length of which

119
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 2: he went to on a nightly basis was was head

120
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 2: and shoulders above.

121
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 4: But I mean, you see that stuff.

122
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 2: When you finally get a chance to spend time with

123
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 2: them behind closed doors, without cameras and without the awkwardness

124
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 2: of a microphone guy.

125
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 3: It's more like real life and you can trust each

126
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 3: other and know that you're in a safe space. I

127
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 3: feel like anyway, I yes, it was. It was a

128
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 3: great show. Leslie. My heart is just broken wide open

129
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 3: for her. And you know what's what's crazy. It happened

130
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 3: to me. It's exactly what happened to me. Alex Michelle

131
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 3: told me that he was going to choose you. He

132
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 3: literally said you're the one, and then Leslie, he told

133
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 3: her she was the one and she wasn't. And so

134
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 3: my heart, like I really truly sympathize with her. Is

135
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 3: sympathize meaning that you've been through it yourself. I empathized

136
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 3: with her because I've been through it so and I

137
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 3: love Leslie. Leslie, we were actually we've been dming. Like

138
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 3: I mean, love her. I'm really really hoping that she

139
00:06:54,960 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 3: becomes the Golden Bachelorette because I don't know I did it.

140
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't know.

141
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 2: God, I hope they do.

142
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 3: I know, I think, I think it's so amazing.

143
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 2: Here's what I think. I don't know much, and I

144
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 2: have been removed from the franchise in a way for

145
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 2: a long time to put this show together.

146
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

147
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 2: I love the idea of not focusing on the young

148
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 2: hot thing, right. I mean, I hate to say it,

149
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 2: like so Caddy, but that really is kind of no. Yeah,

150
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 2: I mean you're talking about these women who were age

151
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 2: appropriately cast. I love it, and every one of them

152
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 2: that I've met tonight magical beautiful people.

153
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 3: You are so right beautiful people. God, and they're so

154
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 3: deserving and everyone isn't deserving of love. But I really

155
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 3: truly feel like I am rooting for their age. Yes, right,

156
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 3: because so it was said multiple times in the show

157
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 3: tonight that they don't have much time left.

158
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 2: And that, oh I guess you think about her standpoint

159
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 2: like can we be married for fifty years?

160
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 4: No?

161
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 2: Right? Can we be married for twenty years?

162
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 3: Can you be married for a day? Like? Literally, Teresa said,

163
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 3: I We've given people hope that there is still love

164
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 3: out there no matter what age you are. Even if

165
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 3: you're ninety and you have a day to live, you

166
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 3: should still try to strive for love. Okay, so questions.

167
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 3: We have a couple of questions and I think they're

168
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 3: actually kind of fun. At what point do you become

169
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 3: an OG?

170
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 4: So I've been thinking about this today. You were busy

171
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 4: doing my belly.

172
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 3: Sorry you probably heard that my bone. No want food?

173
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 2: So I have been thinking about this all day, I think. So,

174
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 2: you know, it's interesting.

175
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 3: Because thinking about this all day.

176
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 2: I really have no I thought this, but I like

177
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,719
Speaker 2: to sound like I have a little deeper than I am.

178
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 4: You know, it's funny.

179
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 2: It's funny, so true, it kind of does kind of

180
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 2: does oh a shallow hell?

181
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: What?

182
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 2: No, I will say this, I what makes you an

183
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 2: O G? I think we do have a period of

184
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 2: time and I'm not sure what it is. Clearly it's

185
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 2: not old mansion versus new mansion. Because this is my

186
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 2: first time in this place. I will say, I do

187
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 2: think this place is lovely o G vibes. Though it's

188
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 2: a little bit. We have we have some.

189
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 3: So you're not seeing it when everything's set up with the.

190
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 2: Remember our mansions, we were kind of in the gata.

191
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 2: I mean honestly, I remember staying in that mansion thinking

192
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 2: I might get robbed tonight, and I can tell you

193
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 2: where I'm at now. I don't feel like I'm gonna

194
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 2: get robbed. I could leave my purse out.

195
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 4: I could.

196
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna worry about it. I could leave my

197
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 2: hands back, I could leave my handbag out.

198
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 4: My merse, it's immerse. It's a merse. But at our

199
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 4: old mansion where we did the show.

200
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 2: Old mansion, I say mansion, I mean guys, I mean

201
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 2: potato tomato point is. It was a lovely ranch. Actually,

202
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,239
Speaker 2: I think ourselves it was a Spanish.

203
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:19,599
Speaker 3: It was.

204
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 4: It was a Spanish. We couldn't get the guy that

205
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 4: owned it to leave.

206
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 2: Remember that he was a total creeper with a dog,

207
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 2: and anytime the girls came over in bathing suits, he

208
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 2: was like, hey it is I'm like, dude, can I

209
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 2: please have a one on one here? I mean it

210
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 2: was a disaster. So the fact that he got foreclosed

211
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 2: on not super sat.

212
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 3: Backup because what girls came over in bathing suits?

213
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 4: None? But had day, had day. I wanted to be ready.

214
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 3: WHOA, So you were getting me and you were having

215
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 3: girls over in bathing suits.

216
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 2: Listen, all I can tell you is this what I

217
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 2: remember of this time of my life was. It was

218
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 2: an infinity pool that overlooked the lovely ocean, and the

219
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 2: house itself was a freakin' You're My man season mine

220
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 2: Andrew Firestones, I think Aaron Burgee's Bergie Bergie. None of

221
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 2: us could sleep. None of us just sleep. I remember

222
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 2: waking up with the Mellanite one night and I was like,

223
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 2: I'm going to walk around and just look around. So

224
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 2: I'm terrified, and I walked around. I'm the only person

225
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 2: because I've watched many horror films, and I'm like, is

226
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 2: this a chainsaw factory? I'm going to walk in here.

227
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 2: But here's the thing. I found the area with which

228
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 2: they shot the show, the what do they call the village.

229
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 3: I don't know, the confidential room, and.

230
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 2: I went down there. In Tristano's this story, I went

231
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 2: down there and I'm like, what in the fing h

232
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 2: is this place? And it was beneath the hut.

233
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 3: That's exactly what you said.

234
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 2: I might have not said the thing age party. I

235
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 2: might have said the actual words, but now that I

236
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 2: have children, I'm trying to be responsible. I find everything

237
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 2: from submission tapes to addresses to everything of every girl

238
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 2: that's on my season, So I copied them down to

239
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 2: my cell phone was a flip phone at the time,

240
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 2: just to date myself, and I wanted to make sure

241
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 2: I sent them a loving and heartfelt note about why

242
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 2: I really enjoyed them being on my season. I remember

243
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 2: there was a girl on there that had like a

244
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 2: cow or something, and I'm like, how I you know,

245
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 2: just loved learning about your cow. I swear I wanted

246
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 2: to let me know about your cow. And I do

247
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 2: love cows as a people, and I just thought it'd

248
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 2: be nice to let them know that I listened, and

249
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 2: you know, and things of that nature. But I remember

250
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 2: thinking myself, I'm gonna get kicked off the show for this,

251
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 2: and then I remembered halfway through, I'm like, oh wait,

252
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 2: they can't kick me off.

253
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 4: Oh my god, that's doing the thing with the stuff.

254
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 2: And so I wasn't kicked off.

255
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 4: But it was my mansion.

256
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 2: I hate to say, it was not like this mansion. Yes,

257
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 2: this mansions.

258
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:52,079
Speaker 3: No, it's amazing, amazing. Okay, who are the newbies and

259
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 3: who are the wise old souls? But what does that mean?

260
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 3: What does that question mean?

261
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 2: We we're wise old? We know that part. Well, at

262
00:12:58,360 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 2: least I am You're.

263
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 3: Still Okay, What I do want to ah, thanks, What

264
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 3: I do want to bring up is the fact that

265
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 3: I believe that the ogs, even though they're considered the

266
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 3: the older shows. Okay, so when it comes to time, right,

267
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 3: so time is on on right. But what I want

268
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 3: to want to what I want to point out is

269
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 3: OG's are the first to do something. So I was

270
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:34,959
Speaker 3: a Dancing with the Stars OG, and I was a

271
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 3: celebrity marriage boot Camp OG. And these people on Golden Bachelor,

272
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 3: and I don't say women because it was Gary too.

273
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 3: All the people on Golden Bachelor were og in my mind,

274
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 3: even though the show is not old, it's brand new,

275
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 3: but they are OG's in my mind because they are

276
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 3: the first.

277
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 2: Okay, so that, but we also have to think about

278
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 2: it from the standpoint of, like from from the Bachelor

279
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 2: franchise itself, where do our ogs come into play? So yeah,

280
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 2: I mean, it can't just be the first because we'd

281
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 2: have a really short season. So we got to think

282
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 2: about it from the standpoint of, like I think there's

283
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 2: a threshold or a window, like I think, like, for example,

284
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 2: Ben and I were talking to Ben Higgins. You guys

285
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 2: might know, I call him my boss because he's the

286
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 2: almost famous guy and then we're the O G O

287
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 2: G guys. I think he he said to me he

288
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 2: might have been the first or second season in this mansion.

289
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 3: M hm.

290
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 2: So I find that interesting because he's got some stories

291
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 2: about this place different. Also, you know they did they

292
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 2: did The Bachelor, not in Paradise.

293
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 3: I came here, I came here before. I've been here before.

294
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 3: I've never been Yeah, that's crazy. Is it crazy?

295
00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 4: Walk in here?

296
00:14:58,360 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 2: I'm like, what the hell?

297
00:14:59,360 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 3: You know?

298
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 2: I said right to them, like, Ryan, have we ever

299
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:02,000

Speaker 3: Now?

Speaker 4: He goes, no, I'm he goes, he goes in the car.

302
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 3: I was never invited. I'm like, wow, I mean the

303
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,600

Speaker 3: I was just here for the pickleball date with Golden Bachelor,

305
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 3: and then they had an event where Sean Lowe and

306
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 3: I were handing out roses as the press walked in. Yeah, well, sorry.

Speaker 2: here in the mix for the first time together, yeah,

316
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 2: kind of a thing.

317
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 3: And I think, like you were saying, where's the cutoff,

318
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 3: We've had people on the show on the Ogs. We

319
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 3: have interviewed multiple people from from different seasons, so we've

322
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 3: Harris's season.

323
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 2: I'm ready to people, I'm ready to expand.

324
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 3: I don't well, I don't know should we expand people?

325
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 3: So what I would love is if people are listening.

326
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 3: Hopefully someone's out there listening. Hi, if your listen, mom,

327
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 3: I want to know. We want to know what you

328
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 3: think the definition of an OG is. And then who

329
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 3: would you like to hear on the show? Would you

330
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 3: like to hear people from the first, second, third, fourth,

331
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 3: fifth seasons? Or should we go to like the Ben

332
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 3: Higgins season? Right, Like, I don't know.

333
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 2: My mindset is this. I think that as the show

334
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 2: continues to grow year over year, Yeah, the OG threshold. Also,

335
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 2: it's a sliding scale, right, So I think we're going

336

Speaker 2: to start finding ourselves talking to first season Bachelor, Yeah,

337
