Something I learned, 16 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: not anymore than I don't know two hours ago. My 17 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:07,320 Speaker 1: co host Ashley, I can, Eddie and Jared Haban are engaged. 18 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: This was not something I knew. It's not something anybody 19 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: from the Almost Famous team knew. This was kept a secret. 20 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: I guess Ashley couldn't have told us because I don't 21 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: think she knew either until it happened. But on Instagram 22 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: today I saw a picture of Jared down on one 23 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: knee with my beautiful co host, actually can Eddie standing 24 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: above him, laughing and smiling, And I bet their heart 25 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: is full right now. Next week we're gonna get the 26 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: inside look into what exactly went down and this engagement. 27 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: We're gonna hear all about it from Ashley herself. I 28 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: am so pumped for her, And let me just take 29 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: a second. Really, Ashley, I can Eddie is engaged and 30 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: engaged to the love of her life, the man of 31 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: her dreams. I think all of us out there who 32 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: listened to this podcast, or for myself that speaks on 33 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: this podcast, we can relate with having that, you know, 34 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: dream person, And for Ashley, Jared is it. Jared was 35 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: in and I think it took him a while to 36 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: realize that Ashley was his dream person, but I know 37 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: he knows that now. Ashley, if you've ever been around her, 38 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: she just radiates this this love, she RADI just passion, 39 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: she radiates this this desire to be known and to 40 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,519 Speaker 1: know other people. But there was always this one person 41 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: that kind of she always wanted to know a little 42 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: bit above anybody else, and that was Jared. And for years, 43 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: as I got to know, actually I knew, and I 44 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: was always confused at their relationship. They would hang out 45 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: as friends, yet they had a romantic history. They wouldn't kiss, 46 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: but yet they could cuttle on the couch and watch 47 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 1: a movie. I never got it, and they would just 48 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: be friends. Right. Jared would stay in l a and 49 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: he would sleep on her pull out bed, uh in 50 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: the living room. I've been over and I haven't seen it. 51 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: It's literally it was called Jared's bed. They would, they would, 52 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: They would have no kind of physical interaction for years, 53 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: but yet they got along so well, and yet Ashley 54 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: was always very open with the fact that she had 55 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,119 Speaker 1: a huge crush on him. It was always super confusing 56 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: to me, and I think it was confusing to all 57 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: of us out there. I've been reading through comments today 58 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: after people posted the engagement announcement, and everybody out there 59 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: is super excited for this, and I think everybody was saying, 60 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: it's about time. We've waited so long to see this 61 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: couple come together. And sometimes in life we don't get 62 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: the fairytale ending, but in this scenario we did. My 63 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: co host is one happy person right now, and her 64 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: fiance is in for a really great ride in life 65 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: with Ashley and and I'm excited from both.

It's like, how in the world 86 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: did you keep this from me? But I guess when 87 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: it comes to engagements, they are secrets, so I don't 88 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 1: I don't know what I was expecting.

This is a spoiler alert. You've been properly warned. 108 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 1: Thank you. I don't know if everybody out there has 109 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: seen it, but on Twitter this week, Becca m from 110 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: our season of The Bachelor, uh publicly spoke out against 111 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 1: Colton and his intentions of being on the Bachelor. She's 112 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: claiming that he went on the show for tea and 113 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: then if you've watched me of this season so far, 114 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: this is how the story is played out. Colton approached 115 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: Becca on last two weeks ago on the episode and 116 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: sat down Becka and said, Hey Becca, I'm here for you. 117 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: I think you're great, but I gotta let you know 118 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: that that after the Bachelor went on, UM, I reached 119 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: out to Tia, and Tia and I hung out and 120 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: we dated and we had a great weekend together and 121 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 1: nothing crazy happened, but but we had something and we 122 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: talked for a while. But he said, you know once, 123 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: she you know once I thought I was going on 124 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 1: to the show. Things ended and there there wasn't that 125 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 1: flame there anymore. And in Becca's approach, it was, you know, 126 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: just like any wise person would. She took her time, 127 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:34,919 Speaker 1: thought it through and said, Okay, if he's here for me, 128 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: then then I'll say this is okay. But people out 129 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 1: there and Bachelor Nation kind of spoke up and spoke 130 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: their opinions and said Colon is not there for the 131 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: right reasons. He was there for Tia. Now it's Becca. 132 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: Why is he still around and why isn't he pursuing Tia. 133 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: Colt wanted to stay and Becca let him stay. Well, 134 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 1: now we know that Colton is in paradise. We've heard this, 135 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: we've seen it, and becat am has spoken out against 136 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: it and said that Tia and Colton we're planning this 137 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: all along. Well, TIA's good friend Raven came back after 138 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: Becca Uh and this initial tweet and said that Becca 139 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: needs to stop and hold her opinions because she is wrong. 140 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: Tia Uh and Colton are have the right to pursue 141 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 1: any relationship they want, and so this became a little 142 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: bit of a Twitter war, one that reminds me of 143 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: high school. All over again, and I gotta ask anybody 144 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: out there, am I Am I wrong for somewhat being 145 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: very interested in this war? Is it? Is it weird 146 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: of me? Now, maybe this is a little bit evil 147 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: of me. But when people start arguing on Twitter, no 148 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: matter who it is, if it's the President United States, 149 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: if it's people from The Bachelor edit, it's just regular 150 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: people in general, I'm intrigued and I read and I 151 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,559 Speaker 1: read every single tweet that comes out. I mean even today, 152 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: I'm I'm doing it right now as we had a 153 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: little break in the podcast, I'm scrolling for an update 154 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 1: on Twitter to see if anybody, if if Ray, even 155 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: Rebecca has posted anything new. I want to hear your opinions, 156 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: please emails that been in Ashley iHeart meatia dot com 157 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: to say, to send in your opinions on into Colton 158 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: Tia situation. And then also what you think of the 159 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: Becca and Verse Raven scenario. I mean, this is not 160 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: a small thing. These these people have influence. You know, 161 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: they have a social media following, and they're willing uh 162 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: to go out and speak outwardly uh against each other 163 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: on their following. This this is something something that we 164 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: should all watch either for entertainment or intrigue or just 165 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: to get the juicy news. We're gonna be keeping up 166 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 1: keeping track of it here on the podcast, but I 167 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: needed to bring it to your attention. If you haven't 168 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: seen it again, make sure you check it on Twitter. 169 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: Nothing super cruel and and and personal has been said. 170 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: It's mostly just opinions based on the Colton and and 171 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: Tia situation. But but it is fun to watch, it's 172 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 1: fun to listen to, so I'm excited to see other 173 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: place out. I bet this will be the end of it, 174 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: especially if if the rumors are true and Coldness is 175 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: in Paradise Um, this storyline will be playing out for 176 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: a long time. We are. I think that's the point 177 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 1: of everything I'm saying here is drama is existing in 178 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: Bachelor Nation as we expect, but it's also spreading to 179 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 1: the real world. This is why these situations are so 180 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: intriguing to me.

I think this is a huge one 253 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: on one day. Obviously, Garrett's been brought up in this 254 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: podcast before. His controversial social media activities have caused kind 255 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 1: of a ruckus in Batchelor Nation. Uh. He has apologized, Uh, 256 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: we do not support what he did or said on 257 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,319 Speaker 1: social media or the likes that he gave. It's it's 258 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,439 Speaker 1: completely inappropriate. Um. You know, we we've we think that 259 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: social media, uh is a responsibility um that we all 260 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 1: have and one that especially during the Bachelor, as your 261 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 1: popularity grows, you're gonna be scrutinized, and so you gotta 262 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 1: hold yourself above reproach. You gotta hold yourself with respect 263 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 1: and dignity. Um. But but outside of that, Garrett did 264 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,319 Speaker 1: have the one on one day this week, and this 265 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: was a big one on one day because everybody's emailed 266 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,839 Speaker 1: us and everybody in studio right now, we believe that 267 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: Garrett's gonna be around for a long time. We see 268 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: him being maybe the front run. I mean he did 269 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 1: get Becket's first impression Rose. She is just incredibly giddy 270 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: every time she sees him in That was clearly obvious 271 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: during this one all one day. I I haven't seen 272 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: Becca kind of lose herself in this experience like she 273 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: did when she was with Garrett. I mean it was, 274 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 1: it was incredible. You've seen this Becca as the bachelor. 275 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: We've seen her hold herself class and dignity and and 276 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: she's walked and thought with wisdom and taking pauses when 277 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: she's needed to, and she's held herself, um, just to 278 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: a standard that almost seems untouchable. But with Garrett, she 279 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: just lets her guard down. You can see if she's dancing, 280 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: she's laughing, she's seeing It's it's not like she's the 281 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: bachelor anymore. It's like she's in a relationship. And that's 282 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 1: why as I'm watching as as a fan and judging 283 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: and being critical of their relationship. I'm seeing something different 284 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: with him. I'm seeing this become a relationship that I 285 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: felt during my Season one that you know almost which 286 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: just like I, this might be too good to be true. 287 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: I don't know what's happening, but I'm feeling something that 288 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: I've never felt before. And she's using crazy words during 289 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: this date, like I'm in trouble, and she doesn't not 290 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: to to garner attention. It's interesting when she says I'm 291 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: in trouble, it's almost like she's saying it to the 292 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: producers or the camera, like you have something that you 293 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 1: need to watch here, Like I might be falling for 294 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: somebody very quickly, more than I ever thought I would. 295 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: And and we still have a show to do. We 296 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 1: still have a lot of dating to do. She's in trouble, 297 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: she knows it, she admits it. Her quote exactly is, oh, 298 00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: I'm in trouble. There's not a lot to deny. But 299 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 1: she likes Gary. Do you like Garett? Though? After watching 300 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: this day, what are your thoughts on Garrett? What are 301 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: your thoughts on their relationship? Um, since it's your opinions, 302 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 1: we want to hear them. I mean, there's a lot here, right, 303 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: and and every time during the Bachelor, I find myself 304 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: getting over the Bachelor. Just let's just say this, in general, 305 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: I find myself getting more critical of the contestants than 306 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: I ever would have any person in real life. I 307 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: think we all can relate to that. Right, we watched 308 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: the show. We judge, we criticize, we drink our wine 309 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 1: and big parties, and we laugh and and we joke 310 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 1: with our friends about the crazy person on the show. 311 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: But if we can say that Garrett is a front runner, 312 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: now we need to start judging him under the frame 313 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: that is he right for Becca? He seems super excited 314 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 1: to be there, He seems incredibly excited to be in 315 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 1: the moment with her. But is it real? Is it truthful? 316 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: Is his love and admiration Rebecca is something that could last? 317 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: Was the questions we have to ask ourselves. It's it's 318 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: interesting for me. Two is, as we're watching his story 319 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,120 Speaker 1: play out there, he's admitting the things that I never 320 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: thought we would hear from him, right, I mean, who 321 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: knew that Garrett was married? And a lot of us 322 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: out there, you know, can relate to having very uh intimate, 323 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 1: important relationships that have ended, and we'll have to speak 324 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: of him publicly. They have affected our life, you know, 325 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:25,879 Speaker 1: positively or negatively. They're a part of our story, so 326 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 1: we have to talk about him. But there is obviously 327 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: one that Garrett was feeling. You could see in his eyes, 328 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,440 Speaker 1: you know, for a guy. I think Becca said it like, 329 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: Garret's so good at making eye contact when he's talking 330 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: to her about this, this last marriage, in this last relationship, 331 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: it was hard for him to make eye contact, which 332 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: for me is a sign that he's still feeling it, 333 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:44,919 Speaker 1: that it's still important to him, and it should be. 334 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that's a bad thing. It will probably 335 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 1: always be important to him. And and it's hard to 336 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,119 Speaker 1: get over love until you found love again. And so 337 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,120 Speaker 1: I'll have to see if Decca and Garrett find love, 338 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: and then if he's able to tell her you're the 339 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: one and I love you, and I'm I'm willing to 340 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: trust some buddy again. But it's an interesting story, isn't it. 341 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 1: I haven't heard many like it. You know, they got 342 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,400 Speaker 1: married there together for a while, they got divorced after 343 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 1: two months, and I don't know the details, and really 344 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 1: it's none of my business. It's not my business to 345 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,360 Speaker 1: know what happened in details of what happened. Um, but 346 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 1: he got divorced two months. I have a I have 347 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,359 Speaker 1: a feeling and I'm not but I never claim to 348 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: be the smartest person out there. I have a feeling 349 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: that that walking into a marriage and being so confident 350 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: that you that you found your person and then it 351 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 1: ending after only two months, it's pretty it's pretty defeating. 352 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: I feel like Garrett has really been affected, um emotionally 353 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,959 Speaker 1: by this experience. So outside of everything else, outside if 354 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 1: you like Garrett or not, if you agree with what 355 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: he's done or not um or or what you feel 356 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,920 Speaker 1: like a relationship, it's gonna be interesting now to see 357 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 1: Garrett's story and how he moves into relationship Rebecca and 358 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 1: how they pursue it. So I canna ask you the 359 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,959 Speaker 1: question with finding out someone's divorced after only two months, 360 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 1: or divorced in general, would you care? Would it affect you, 361 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 1: would it bother you? Or are you willing to look 362 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 1: past it? And let's be honest here, I don't want 363 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: a bunch of emails just saying oh yeah, everything's good. 364 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: If it would affect you. I want to hear your 365 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: honest opinions if it would make you hesitate, and why 366 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 1: would it make you hesitate.

What was your okay? So back 460 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: in the day when I was a Bachelor, I had um, 461 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,919 Speaker 1: I had Amos Lee. I don't know if you know 462 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 1: of Amos Sleep. I'm a big fan of his, and 463 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 1: he came on my season and it kind of worked 464 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: out where they knew my my song, my my my 465 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: love song, and and they asked him to come onto 466 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:54,160 Speaker 1: the to the episode and play for us. UM, and 467 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: he he really enjoyed his experience. I was surprised he did. 468 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: I was kind of almost embarrassed. I thought, Oh, no, 469 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 1: this is could be a train wreck. Did you enjoy 470 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 1: your experience on it? Yeah? I did. I did, And 471 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: I could see how you might think that. But it's 472 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:09,919 Speaker 1: kind of like I said, it was, it's such a 473 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: different environment for us to go into this with producers 474 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:19,120 Speaker 1: telling us when to play and where to stand and 475 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: and how to cue the music, and and there's kind 476 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 1: of just this excitement in the air, almost like it 477 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 1: was live television, even though we could have done it 478 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 1: as many times as we wanted to make everybody happy, 479 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 1: but it felt like a big, live TV show And 480 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,160 Speaker 1: there's this kinetic energy in the air that we all felt, 481 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 1: me and my band and crew, and um, yeah, it 482 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,959 Speaker 1: was a blast doing that. So how does this work 483 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,640 Speaker 1: for an artist like yourself? Um, you get a phone 484 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 1: call from The Bachelor AD or The Bachelor ABC or 485 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,919 Speaker 1: whoever does. Then you show up to You show up 486 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: the park city, which I'm assuming isn't the place you live, 487 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 1: correct now. I live in Austin, Texas, and and then 488 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,959 Speaker 1: this I have audiences there, and I was actually surprised they. 489 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,119 Speaker 1: I mean not surprised because if you can pack out 490 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 1: as many places you want, but because of this small 491 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,120 Speaker 1: little venue, this whole thing got filled up, right there's 492 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 1: there was no open space. Yeah, yeah, they did. And 493 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,879 Speaker 1: it's relatively small venue. I think it it was like 494 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 1: four capacity and um and so kind of a small venue. 495 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: But but that was perfect for what they were going for. 496 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 1: So we we loaded into this little stage and and 497 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 1: UM did a sound check and they had you know, 498 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: as you expect from bacherette. They had really beautiful lighting 499 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 1: and UM, you know, candle esque type stuff everywhere are 500 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,879 Speaker 1: you romantic stuff, and and then they brought the crowd in. 501 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: UM long before we shot the video, and so they 502 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 1: brought the crowd in and we played some songs for 503 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 1: them to kind of amp them up, and it just 504 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: really felt like, UM, a very intimate concert and you 505 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: kind of forget the cameras were even there. Did you 506 00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 1: walk away from that? I mean this is did you 507 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 1: walk away from that feeling like the the audience and 508 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 1: your band and yourself, uh had a good experience, Like 509 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 1: the audience walked away going okay, I got not only 510 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 1: a little like live free concert, got to see a 511 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 1: couple of people making out on stage, I got to 512 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,680 Speaker 1: meet Granger smith in personally. Is that how they walked 513 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 1: away from you think? There's absolutely no doubt they did. 514 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: They did, and we did too. Everyone walked away that 515 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 1: night with a smile on their face.

But we all felt like 522 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 1: we were we were a part of something that everyone 523 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: would share on this night.

And it's not that he 545 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 1: didn't say that because we were there. That was just 546 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 1: it was part of the moment and he was living 547 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 1: that night to the fullest.

And you know throughout 553 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 1: the last twenty years of filming to have some big 554 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 1: name country artists on. I'm gonna run through the list here. 555 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 1: We've had Lanko, Russell Dickerson, yourself, Chris Lane, Billy Currington, 556 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 1: the Eli Young Band. What is it about country munic 557 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 1: music in these country artists that bring them to the Bachelor. 558 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 1: I don't know. That's a great question. I'm friends with 559 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 1: a lot of those bands you just named, and it's 560 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 1: it's an honor to be part of that list. And 561 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: you know, country music is is so lyric driven, and uh, 562 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 1: we have a lot of love songs, and and our 563 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 1: love songs are very um, very truthful from the heart, 564 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 1: lyric driven songs. And I think that's that's the connection 565 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,719 Speaker 1: that you could have with a show like Bachelorette. Yeah, definitely. So, 566 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 1: I mean that raises the question. I think everybody's always 567 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 1: interested in this, What is your inspiration behind the music? 568 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 1: You come out with great lyrical songs. They tell these 569 00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: incredible stories that are relatable that I can listen to 570 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,719 Speaker 1: uh at any given time to go Yeah, that's me. 571 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 1: I get what he's saying. But where is your personal inspiration? Well, 572 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 1: it comes from all over and and I wouldn't. No 573 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 1: one could live enough life to write album after album 574 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 1: worth of songs with with just one life. So you 575 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 1: really have to to open your eyes, and you have 576 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: to listen to other people's stories and and sometimes it 577 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 1: comes from movie scenes or a friend of yours just 578 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 1: went through this this crazy breakup, or are are gotten married, 579 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: and and you listen to those stories and you talk 580 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 1: it out with them, and suddenly a lion will pop 581 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 1: out here and there. Um, sometimes the most special ones 582 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 1: are the ones that you live yourself, you know, and 583 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 1: you know something that that happens to me, and I 584 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 1: I jotted down some notes and as I start writing it, 585 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: you could just feel the energy of that song coming out. 586 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: So the answer is really all over the place. But 587 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 1: we just have to keep our eyes open and pay 588 00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:00,040 Speaker 1: attention when those songs are out there. That's incredible. And 589 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: I gotta imagine to your mind never shuts down, right, 590 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 1: I mean, at any given moment a song could be had. 591 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 1: You have to keep your phone right by your bed 592 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 1: so that you could have that voice memo ready to 593 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: go if you dream something. That's how, that's how it 594 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 1: is unbelievable that I mean, I I used to agree 595 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 1: this is a little bit of inside looking in my life. 596 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 1: When I was in middle school. I have a notebook. 597 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 1: I'll try to find it here. Maybe I'll take a 598 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 1: picture of it at some point that I used to 599 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 1: write songs on that They're terrible, absolutely awful. I can't seeing, 600 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 1: I can't do anything. But I used to write these 601 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 1: songs down because all of a sudden, something will pop 602 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 1: into my head. I'd be like, I won't to remember 603 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 1: this moment, like this is a this is a special 604 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 1: moment that I think a lot of people, uh fell 605 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 1: But you know, oftentimes I could never communicate how I felt, 606 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,240 Speaker 1: and so whenever I could feel like I could put 607 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:51,040 Speaker 1: a lyric out there, I'd write it down. That's how 608 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 1: I started. And um, it doesn't matter whether it's technically 609 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 1: good or bad lyric. Sometimes it's just therapy to get 610 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 1: that out there. And it makes you feel good. It 611 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 1: makes you, like you said, live in that moment and 612 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 1: uh feel the color of that specific emotion, and writing 613 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 1: it down really does it, really makes it. It makes 614 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 1: it reality, and so yeah, you're doing the right thing. 615 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 1: It's always impressed in me. And I gotta say this, 616 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 1: and I've I was preparing for this podcast, I was 617 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 1: listening to a lot of your music here. Um. One 618 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 1: thing about music and this is not this is common knowledge. 619 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 1: Music opens up our eyes to what we've already felt, 620 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 1: right Like the lyrics communicate in words what a lot 621 00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 1: of us are feeling.

You think 655 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 1: this is gonna absolutely rock people's worlds? Or you feel 656 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:20,000 Speaker 1: like this is relatable right to this specific situation that 657 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,960 Speaker 1: Becca is in. I think if I could say what 658 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 1: is going to rock people's world? Um uh, then I 659 00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 1: would be a huge mega star right now, possibly predict that, 660 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:35,280 Speaker 1: but I just hope that it could connect with somebody, 661 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 1: um in a situation like Becca. Absolutely, yeah, that's incredible. 662 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,879 Speaker 1: I mean, going into this, this little segment on The Bachelorette, 663 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,360 Speaker 1: were you a fan of The Bachelor before before all this, Like, 664 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,080 Speaker 1: did you know about it? I? I I absolutely knew about 665 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,800 Speaker 1: it because my wife is a mega fan and um, 666 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,680 Speaker 1: she as as many people are, she you know, religiously 667 00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 1: watches it and um. And so the first time I 668 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,799 Speaker 1: was supposed to batro Nation was, you know, walking in 669 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 1: and you know, you know, I kind of walk in 670 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,960 Speaker 1: mid show and and see scenario going down, and I'll 671 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 1: sit down on the couch with her and and usually 672 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:12,920 Speaker 1: say what in the world is going on here? And 673 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,279 Speaker 1: she asked to tell me the backstory and tell me 674 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,160 Speaker 1: who this guy or girl is and why they're doing 675 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 1: this crazy thing, and uh yeah, and that's how it's 676 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,839 Speaker 1: been for years and uh and so I get more 677 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 1: and more into it and and the most important thing 678 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,480 Speaker 1: about that show to me is that that's, uh, that's 679 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 1: a special time for us together, you know, to to 680 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:33,320 Speaker 1: sit down and and discuss this, whether whether we're saying 681 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,040 Speaker 1: how crazy it is or how fun it is. Whatever, 682 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 1: it's just it's it's good time for us together. The 683 00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 1: that's the that's the part of that. I think I 684 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,920 Speaker 1: love to hear so many times couples come up to 685 00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,120 Speaker 1: me and one of the couples if it's the wife 686 00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,319 Speaker 1: of the husband or whoever, come up and say, oh, 687 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:48,840 Speaker 1: you know, I wasn't a fan of the show, but 688 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,360 Speaker 1: they've made me watch it. But then they're always the 689 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,279 Speaker 1: first person, the person that doesn't want to admit they're 690 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 1: a fan, to ask me to follow up question, Really 691 00:35:56,120 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 1: that crazy really fall off? Oh yeah, it's impossible to 692 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 1: not discuss it. You can't sit there and absorb that 693 00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,840 Speaker 1: television and walk away and not have a comment of 694 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,319 Speaker 1: some sort, which is why it's great. I think that's 695 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,080 Speaker 1: why our listeners listen to the podcast too. I mean, 696 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:14,920 Speaker 1: it's awesome, but the the inside look into things is 697 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,680 Speaker 1: why people listen here because this is a captivating show 698 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,959 Speaker 1: and it's relatable, just like we talked about with the music, 699 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,440 Speaker 1: you know, the Bachelor is relatable and the sense that 700 00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,480 Speaker 1: everybody wants love, you know, every everybody wants to pursue love, 701 00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,680 Speaker 1: everyone wants to fine love.

She didn't seem to be 821 00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,480 Speaker 1: on some kind of tight schedule where she she she 822 00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,840 Speaker 1: could only chat for a second, and that was so nice. 823 00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:56,839 Speaker 1: That was so nice to see from her, Um in 824 00:42:56,840 --> 00:43:00,279 Speaker 1: her position, because I know she's just uh having in 825 00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:02,719 Speaker 1: a whirlwind at least she wasn't during that time when 826 00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:05,120 Speaker 1: we when we filmed that, and her life must have 827 00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,879 Speaker 1: been absolute chaos, but she didn't show it at all. 828 00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:11,640 Speaker 1: She she held she held herself together with grace and um. 829 00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:16,000 Speaker 1: It was fun to see. And Uh, I could say Garrett, Um, 830 00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:17,959 Speaker 1: he seemed like he could be a buddy of mine 831 00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:22,680 Speaker 1: for sure. He seemed he seemed like he was very loose, um, 832 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,960 Speaker 1: very relaxed. Uh. As I said, he told me that 833 00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:27,719 Speaker 1: that was that could have been the greatest night of 834 00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:29,840 Speaker 1: his entire life. And the way he said it, it it 835 00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:31,960 Speaker 1: looked like he meant it. It really did. He was 836 00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:35,760 Speaker 1: he was just happy to be there and um and 837 00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:38,600 Speaker 1: and living it up. You could tell that that he 838 00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:42,640 Speaker 1: knew that kind of excitement and energy might might never 839 00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,080 Speaker 1: happen again, and he was going to take full advantage 840 00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:48,080 Speaker 1: of it. Yeah. I mean, I'm I'm with them typically 841 00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:49,719 Speaker 1: in life. I'm just really happy to be there. I 842 00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:52,040 Speaker 1: don't know how we got there, how it's happy. I'm 843 00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:56,200 Speaker 1: just happy to be there, especially when foreigner people are literally, 844 00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:59,040 Speaker 1: like you said, plotting at you, making out. I mean, 845 00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:04,239 Speaker 1: nothing makes me feel cooler. People watching kids. It's celebrating, Yeah, 846 00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:10,600 Speaker 1: celebrating exactly. It doesn't happen often in life. Uh granger 847 00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,359 Speaker 1: happens for you all the time. But for me, man, 848 00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:15,120 Speaker 1: I happened often in life where I can stand in 849 00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:17,920 Speaker 1: front of a crowd of people and they cheer. I 850 00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:21,840 Speaker 1: promise you never it never gets old, that never fades. 851 00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:25,680 Speaker 1: And and I'm just like you, I I I love 852 00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,359 Speaker 1: to live in that moment. And um, you never know 853 00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:30,719 Speaker 1: when the last time is going to be, and so 854 00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,120 Speaker 1: we only have this moment and um, yeah, I'd never 855 00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:35,520 Speaker 1: take that for granted. Hey, before you go, I got, 856 00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:37,440 Speaker 1: I got. I just have one more thing, because you 857 00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:39,400 Speaker 1: just said something that I think is important for anybody 858 00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:43,640 Speaker 1: out there listening on this podcast. This is a Bachelor podcast, 859 00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,480 Speaker 1: and we like to try to relate the Bachelor to 860 00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:49,040 Speaker 1: the real world.

If that's um 864 00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:01,440 Speaker 1: the influence of its love or whatever it is, and 865 00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:05,399 Speaker 1: the show catapults you to a level of um recognition 866 00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,560 Speaker 1: that you've never had before that you'll never really probably 867 00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:11,160 Speaker 1: have again.

Grange are the same 870 00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:18,040 Speaker 1: thing happens in your life, But you have a talent, 871 00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:19,640 Speaker 1: you have a skill behind it, and you've worked hard 872 00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,719 Speaker 1: to get there.

How do you and 874 00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:27,680 Speaker 1: if this is advice for yourself or advice for any 875 00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:30,360 Speaker 1: contestant coming on the show, any future contestant coming on 876 00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:33,359 Speaker 1: the show, how do you keep your head small? How 877 00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:35,719 Speaker 1: do you not let your head get super big and 878 00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:40,239 Speaker 1: your ego totally inflated where this world becomes very selfish? 879 00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:42,680 Speaker 1: What is your what is your advice for anybody out there? 880 00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:46,520 Speaker 1: You know that that's that's a daily question that that 881 00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:49,319 Speaker 1: I have to answer, that I'm forced to answer, and 882 00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:51,840 Speaker 1: and not necessarily because I always find myself in that 883 00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:54,600 Speaker 1: in that boat. I don't, but I do see people, 884 00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:57,800 Speaker 1: especially people on a greater level than I am, and 885 00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:01,279 Speaker 1: you wonder either how do they do it? Or be 886 00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:04,839 Speaker 1: they're really they've really fallen off the deep end here 887 00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:08,200 Speaker 1: and and and I think that the best way to 888 00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:13,040 Speaker 1: answer that is you have to really compartmentalize what's it 889 00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:16,560 Speaker 1: what's a job, and what's work and what is theoretically 890 00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:21,400 Speaker 1: not real life and and what is And when I 891 00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:24,680 Speaker 1: go up on that stage and the lights come on 892 00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:26,360 Speaker 1: and they're on me and I'm singing a song and 893 00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:30,000 Speaker 1: people are cheering, that's not real life. That's not who 894 00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:34,200 Speaker 1: I really am. That's my work self and I have 895 00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:35,960 Speaker 1: to put it put it that way in my brain. 896 00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:39,680 Speaker 1: And those people are not cheering for me personally, Granger Smith. 897 00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:43,800 Speaker 1: They're cheering for what I'm representing in that song and 898 00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:48,080 Speaker 1: that moment on that stage. That's what they're cheering for. Um. 899 00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:50,600 Speaker 1: They're cheering for the office that I'm holding at the time, 900 00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:53,280 Speaker 1: during those three minutes at a time during a song. 901 00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:55,719 Speaker 1: But when I come off the stage, I'm just as 902 00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:59,200 Speaker 1: normal as any other guy. And and I still have 903 00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:02,759 Speaker 1: my same ends that know who I really am. And uh, 904 00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:05,920 Speaker 1: my tour manager has been he's known me for seventeen years. 905 00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:09,600 Speaker 1: My brother is my manager. So I've kind of surrounded 906 00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:12,200 Speaker 1: myself with these people that would slap me across the 907 00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:15,560 Speaker 1: head if I started becoming something that I wasn't. And 908 00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:17,759 Speaker 1: so so if you could surround yourself with with the 909 00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:20,200 Speaker 1: people that know who you really are, and then try 910 00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:22,799 Speaker 1: to compartmentalize what is real and what is not. You're 911 00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:26,840 Speaker 1: gonna be okay. That's that's incredible advice around yourself with 912 00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:28,480 Speaker 1: a group of friends that really know who you are, 913 00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:31,279 Speaker 1: and they're gonna hold you accountable when life gets a 914 00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:33,360 Speaker 1: little out of balance.

Thanks again for 933 00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:23,600 Speaker 1: Granger Smith coming on. He's amazing. He's incredible. Check out 934 00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:26,600 Speaker 1: his music. It's worth it. He was on this week's episode. 935 00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:29,120 Speaker 1: But this week's episode was not without much more than 936 00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:32,880 Speaker 1: just Granger. We had a group date Colton, Colton, the 937 00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:37,480 Speaker 1: good old Colton, good old Denver boy. Colton is now 938 00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:40,200 Speaker 1: fighting with Jordan as well. And this is the thing 939 00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:44,080 Speaker 1: with Jordan. He's he's He's such a captivating character. He's 940 00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:47,000 Speaker 1: one of the only people I've ever felt like watching 941 00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:48,319 Speaker 1: the show that he has to be a plan, there 942 00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:49,880 Speaker 1: has to be a character, and he's not. I know 943 00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:52,799 Speaker 1: he's not now because he hasn't changed the whole time. 944 00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:55,319 Speaker 1: But when I first met Jordan, or I guess having 945 00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:56,840 Speaker 1: met him, I feel like I met him just like 946 00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:59,800 Speaker 1: all of you probably have. When I first watched Jordan's 947 00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:03,200 Speaker 1: on this show, I was like, this guy cannot be real. 948 00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:06,880 Speaker 1: He's so much, he's too much. He's so confident. But 949 00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:08,960 Speaker 1: typically when you're that confident, there's there's a lot more 950 00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:11,360 Speaker 1: going on behind the scenes, um than than any of 951 00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:13,440 Speaker 1: us really realize, and that's one thing we always have 952 00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:16,040 Speaker 1: taken the consideration is do we really know Jordan's or 953 00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:19,000 Speaker 1: is it is there a front that he's putting up 954 00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:21,960 Speaker 1: And I don't know that at this point, but Colton 955 00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:24,040 Speaker 1: seems to know that. He seems to be seeing right 956 00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:27,240 Speaker 1: through this front that Jordan's putting up. So we're gonna 957 00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:30,600 Speaker 1: bring Colton back into the team of against Jordan's. So 958 00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:34,920 Speaker 1: not only now is David not on Team Jordan's, Colton 959 00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,640 Speaker 1: is not on Team Jordan's. There's a few other people 960 00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:40,040 Speaker 1: that are gonna join on. It's it's interesting because I 961 00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:42,080 Speaker 1: feel like if I was there, and I've talked a 962 00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:44,520 Speaker 1: couple of people about this, and um, I feel like 963 00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:46,880 Speaker 1: if I was there. Yeah, I don't know if if 964 00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:48,480 Speaker 1: Jordan would be the best ist of friends, and I 965 00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:51,400 Speaker 1: don't think he's right for a bat, but I feel 966 00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:54,319 Speaker 1: like him personally would just be entertaining. Maybe there's there's 967 00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:56,839 Speaker 1: more annoyance going on than I know, but I just 968 00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:59,480 Speaker 1: feel like watching him would just almost be entertaining. Having 969 00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:02,200 Speaker 1: him a of of the show would almost be the 970 00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:04,279 Speaker 1: comic relief you need when you're starting to stress out 971 00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:06,560 Speaker 1: and you're starting to have feelings. You need that like 972 00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:09,080 Speaker 1: fallback person. You need that person that's always gonna make 973 00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:11,640 Speaker 1: light of the situation or or at least make fun 974 00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:13,360 Speaker 1: of the situation, because I know, for me, I was 975 00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:16,359 Speaker 1: taking it so serious with Caitlin when I was there, 976 00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:18,880 Speaker 1: and and there were so many emotions being on, you know, 977 00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:22,080 Speaker 1: pulled into my life that any comic relief or any 978 00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:26,400 Speaker 1: relief from that intensity was welcomed. And I'm surprised that 979 00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:28,640 Speaker 1: Jordan's not bringing that to the people around him, that 980 00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:31,000 Speaker 1: people are actually getting upset some So at some point 981 00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:33,120 Speaker 1: we can ask Clay when he comes on the podcast 982 00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:35,839 Speaker 1: a little bit, what is it about Jordan's that really 983 00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:38,400 Speaker 1: ruse people the wrong way. I don't get it. I 984 00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:40,080 Speaker 1: think he's I think he's kind of funny. I think 985 00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:42,239 Speaker 1: he's weird. I think he probably should go home pretty soon. 986 00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:45,520 Speaker 1: But don't get mad at the guy. He's just he's 987 00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:51,880 Speaker 1: just being Jordan's. But things got weird quickly. Outside of 988 00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:55,360 Speaker 1: the quote and jordan relationship, things got really weird. Jean 989 00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:59,120 Speaker 1: blanc out of nowhere. Okay, he gave her a gift, 990 00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:02,120 Speaker 1: he said he was falling in love with Becca. Then 991 00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:03,960 Speaker 1: there was awkward sense and when we kind of knew 992 00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:06,160 Speaker 1: going into this that their relationship was not where he 993 00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:08,759 Speaker 1: thought it was. She thinks it's too much, too soon. 994 00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:10,719 Speaker 1: I get it. I think at this point he's the 995 00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:13,359 Speaker 1: first to really admitted to her and we haven't really 996 00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:15,640 Speaker 1: seen him have anything yet other than if you kisses, 997 00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:19,560 Speaker 1: he needs to go, he needs to go home. Then 998 00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:22,560 Speaker 1: he says he said it because he thought she wanted 999 00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:25,120 Speaker 1: to hear it. It was also weird, right, I mean, 1000 00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:28,520 Speaker 1: I don't get it. I mean, Becca is is smart. 1001 00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:34,640 Speaker 1: She she understands where she's coming from. But why would 1002 00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:39,840 Speaker 1: he say something as powerful as love if she thought 1003 00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:43,120 Speaker 1: she just wanted to hear I mean, we've talked about 1004 00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:45,799 Speaker 1: a thousand times. We know my story. We know that 1005 00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:48,520 Speaker 1: I am I am one to throw the love word around. 1006 00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:51,080 Speaker 1: But but I meant it right. I meant that I 1007 00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:53,440 Speaker 1: cared about both women, that it was at the very end, 1008 00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:56,080 Speaker 1: and this journey had taken us to a place where 1009 00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:59,520 Speaker 1: our relationship were deep, they're entrenched in each other, that 1010 00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:02,840 Speaker 1: real emotions and real feelings were there. I felt like 1011 00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:04,520 Speaker 1: I had to say it because it was what I 1012 00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:09,080 Speaker 1: was feeling, not because Jojoe needed to hear it, or 1013 00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:12,719 Speaker 1: that it was gonna make what her feel better. I mean, 1014 00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:16,319 Speaker 1: maybe maybe it was that satisfaction and reassurance that I 1015 00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:18,040 Speaker 1: was trying to give her. It's like, hey, I really 1016 00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:20,239 Speaker 1: care about you, I really love you, even though this 1017 00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:22,560 Speaker 1: is this is the end. But it seems like Jean 1018 00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:25,000 Speaker 1: Blanque was just saying because he thought she just wanted 1019 00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:27,920 Speaker 1: to hear it what to keep him around longer. I mean, 1020 00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:30,279 Speaker 1: love is not something just to mess with. And I've 1021 00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:33,880 Speaker 1: learned my own um from my own mistakes. I've learned 1022 00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:36,800 Speaker 1: a thing or two, and I've learned that the saying 1023 00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:39,040 Speaker 1: I love you means a lot and it carries a 1024 00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:40,440 Speaker 1: lot of weight. And that's that's a good lesson for 1025 00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:43,680 Speaker 1: me to learn. I get that, But I would like 1026 00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:46,319 Speaker 1: to think that my situation was a little different than his. 1027 00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:50,160 Speaker 1: Got super weird. Anyways, Then Becca got really mad about it. 1028 00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:54,080 Speaker 1: She was mad and her I mean, I'm personally thinking 1029 00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:58,400 Speaker 1: a little bit, like, is she overreacting, She's being too critical. 1030 00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:01,960 Speaker 1: She just let him go. But but then I realized 1031 00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:05,480 Speaker 1: it was a trigger for her. This is reminding her 1032 00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:08,080 Speaker 1: of a situation that wasn't long ago, and it took 1033 00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:12,919 Speaker 1: her back to ari or her past. Because who cares 1034 00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:15,560 Speaker 1: about John Bach. I mean, really, he hasn't been around 1035 00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:18,759 Speaker 1: a long time. We don't we don't know a lot 1036 00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:20,520 Speaker 1: of history between him and back. We've seen him Kis 1037 00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:22,600 Speaker 1: a couple of times, and he smells nice, right, I mean, 1038 00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:25,440 Speaker 1: that's that's what we know about John Blanch. But but 1039 00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:28,400 Speaker 1: it was a trigger. It was a small situation. It 1040 00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:30,720 Speaker 1: was a minute situation that brought up a bigger issue. 1041 00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:33,160 Speaker 1: That was she was holding it that by him just 1042 00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:36,040 Speaker 1: saying something because she but he because he thought she 1043 00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:39,920 Speaker 1: wanted to hear it. It was reminding her of a past. 1044 00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:45,319 Speaker 1: It was reminding her of something deeply seated inside. So 1045 00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:47,399 Speaker 1: I getting out why she was so sad. I get 1046 00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:50,440 Speaker 1: now why she maybe looked like it was she was overreacting. 1047 00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:53,080 Speaker 1: I mean, on this show or in life, we run 1048 00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:59,000 Speaker 1: into a million weird situations, a million weird scenarios, and 1049 00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:00,640 Speaker 1: every once in a while there is one that just 1050 00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:03,080 Speaker 1: really stands out and that really affects us I can 1051 00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:05,400 Speaker 1: speak to that, and this one was one for Becca. 1052 00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:08,400 Speaker 1: So so that is a huge moment that we have 1053 00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:09,880 Speaker 1: to remember as you watch the rest of this season. 1054 00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:12,279 Speaker 1: This is is that kind of breaking point Rebecca when 1055 00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:15,440 Speaker 1: but all of a sudden so some inner feelings, some 1056 00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:18,160 Speaker 1: inner turmoils came out. We now know that Becca is 1057 00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:22,040 Speaker 1: triggered by somebody admitting feelings when she doesn't feel like 1058 00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:25,240 Speaker 1: they mean it. But then she walks into an amazing 1059 00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:27,920 Speaker 1: one on one day with a guy, uh named Wills. 1060 00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:29,440 Speaker 1: We don't know a lot about Wills yet we know 1061 00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:31,160 Speaker 1: a lot about a lot of these guys. But what 1062 00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:33,880 Speaker 1: we do know is he seems like a cool guy. Um. 1063 00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:36,480 Speaker 1: He he knew he was walking into a situation where 1064 00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:37,719 Speaker 1: she was going to be in a tough mood. He 1065 00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:40,560 Speaker 1: was aware of that from the very beginning, and he 1066 00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:44,080 Speaker 1: knew that he was taking on the burden that responsibility. Say, hey, 1067 00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:49,040 Speaker 1: if anything, if if nothing else in this day, I 1068 00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:53,960 Speaker 1: Wills wasn'tmitting to his job. Now it's had just lift 1069 00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:56,680 Speaker 1: up her spirits And I think that's awesome. And that's 1070 00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:58,800 Speaker 1: about all I got from that day. You know, I 1071 00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:00,600 Speaker 1: think they have something. I don't know how long term 1072 00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:02,560 Speaker 1: it is, but he did an amazing job at lifting 1073 00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:04,480 Speaker 1: up her serious when union the most And for that, 1074 00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:09,200 Speaker 1: Will's good job credit goes to you. Kudos, buddy. So 1075 00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:11,480 Speaker 1: at the beginning of this episode, I was I found 1076 00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:14,960 Speaker 1: myself asking the question, and he's definitely a candidate for 1077 00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:17,280 Speaker 1: the who the heck are you? Coming up in the future. 1078 00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:21,440 Speaker 1: But we have this guy named John Well. I have 1079 00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:23,640 Speaker 1: no clue who he is, zero I GA. I haven't 1080 00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:25,640 Speaker 1: seen him from the beginning till now. But all of 1081 00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:28,240 Speaker 1: a sudden, he pops up during this Lumberjack Day. And 1082 00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:32,560 Speaker 1: I don't know how or it was incredibly unexpected, but 1083 00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:36,080 Speaker 1: but this John guy pops out of nowhere and it 1084 00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:39,279 Speaker 1: ends up dominating this Lumberjack Day. Seems like a good guy, 1085 00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:41,480 Speaker 1: seems like a nice guy. I think he had a 1086 00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:43,920 Speaker 1: couple of I think he had a funny line that 1087 00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:45,359 Speaker 1: I wrote down here and I'm gonna get it wrong, 1088 00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:48,120 Speaker 1: but you'll get it and you'll understand it. He makes 1089 00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:51,840 Speaker 1: a line that he's like, I typically get intimidated or 1090 00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:55,440 Speaker 1: nervous around cute girls and really good looking guys like me, 1091 00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:59,239 Speaker 1: and you went on the wrong So the Bachelor is 1092 00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:01,279 Speaker 1: not the right show. You're gonna get intimidated by cute 1093 00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:04,440 Speaker 1: girls and and good looking guys. I thought that was funny. 1094 00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:07,920 Speaker 1: It shows who John is. He's humble, um, he's he's 1095 00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:10,479 Speaker 1: a great guy, and he's super athletic. Who knew that 1096 00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:12,319 Speaker 1: that John was going to pop out of nowhere and 1097 00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:19,560 Speaker 1: dominate the Lumberjack Dave. Okay, skipping, We're starting to the 1098 00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:25,680 Speaker 1: guys a little better. We're starting to the standouts Garrett, Connor, Blake, Colton, Jason. 1099 00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:27,400 Speaker 1: I would throw in there as well, who else is 1100 00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:30,040 Speaker 1: this stand out to you?

I mean, I think these are these guys 1103 00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:37,560 Speaker 1: that are standing out. Uh, It's it's pretty clear Becca 1104 00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:39,640 Speaker 1: isn't holding back her feelings. But we also just know 1105 00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:41,719 Speaker 1: that these guys are are not only good looking, but 1106 00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:44,279 Speaker 1: they're also charismatic, and they're also intentional and they're kind 1107 00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:49,480 Speaker 1: of taking that leadership role in the house. These guys Colton, Garrett, Connor, Blake, 1108 00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:52,719 Speaker 1: and Jason are really standing above. But one guy that 1109 00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:55,600 Speaker 1: really stood above for a long time on this season, 1110 00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:59,239 Speaker 1: one guy that I think Becca was really into, is 1111 00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:01,879 Speaker 1: our next guest. And and Clay will be joining us 1112 00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:07,240 Speaker 1: right now after his dramatic exit from last week's episode 1113 00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:10,439 Speaker 1: after an injury. Uh that will affect his real life 1114 00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:12,479 Speaker 1: and I can't wait to hear about it. Here about 1115 00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:14,480 Speaker 1: what's next for him, here about his experience in the 1116 00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:17,360 Speaker 1: best way. But first take a break and talk about 1117 00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:21,000 Speaker 1: bull and Branch. Bowling Branch makes the softest, most comfortable 1118 00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:24,520 Speaker 1: organic cotton sheets you will ever sleep on. I sleep 1119 00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:27,960 Speaker 1: on them. They're incredible. They stand out. They make my 1120 00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:31,000 Speaker 1: sleep a lot better. They only sell to you online 1121 00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:34,360 Speaker 1: at Bowling Branch dot com, so their sheets cost less 1122 00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:38,640 Speaker 1: than half of the designer brands and are twice the quality. 1123 00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:42,240 Speaker 1: They're made from a pure organic cotton. They start out 1124 00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:46,240 Speaker 1: soft and get even softer overtime. They don't get worse 1125 00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:49,000 Speaker 1: over time. They don't punch up over time. They get 1126 00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:52,280 Speaker 1: better over time. It's kind of how I want to be. 1127 00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:54,200 Speaker 1: Let me get better over time would be like a 1128 00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:57,800 Speaker 1: fine one. Three US Presidents love Bowling Branch sheets.

I thought we were 1166 01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:02,960 Speaker 1: in a really good place, and you know, I got 1167 01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:05,800 Speaker 1: the group rose and then obviously, you know, I find 1168 01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:09,600 Speaker 1: out how severe the wrist injury was. So you know, 1169 01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:11,440 Speaker 1: it was tough.

You're you're a good looking, uh, 1178 01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:36,919 Speaker 1: you're a successful NFL football player. How in the world 1179 01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:40,000 Speaker 1: you end up on the beach threat. Okay, it's actually 1180 01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:42,160 Speaker 1: a pretty funny story. Um, a good friend of mine 1181 01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:45,760 Speaker 1: who played a few years NFL. UM we grew up together, 1182 01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:48,960 Speaker 1: training and stuff went on, tried to try it out 1183 01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:51,360 Speaker 1: for the show and he didn't quite make it. And 1184 01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:54,560 Speaker 1: one day he just happened to be out in the city, Chicago, 1185 01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:57,440 Speaker 1: having some drinks or some friends, and he ran into 1186 01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:01,440 Speaker 1: the lady that interviewed him in Chicago for the casting process, 1187 01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:03,400 Speaker 1: and she sees him and comes up to him and 1188 01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:06,200 Speaker 1: tells them that she would like for him to come 1189 01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:08,320 Speaker 1: from out again. He happened to have a girlfriend at 1190 01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:10,480 Speaker 1: this point, and he says he thinks he has a 1191 01:01:10,520 --> 01:01:14,720 Speaker 1: couple of guys that she would like, so he shows 1192 01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:17,680 Speaker 1: her a picture and and she thought, um, that I 1193 01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:21,120 Speaker 1: might be something that the rest of the casting team 1194 01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:23,400 Speaker 1: would be looking for. And you know, he told her 1195 01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:25,440 Speaker 1: I played football and stuff, and he didn't know if 1196 01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:28,240 Speaker 1: I'd even be able to do it. But um, me 1197 01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:30,880 Speaker 1: and the casting lady got in touch that way, and 1198 01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:34,480 Speaker 1: we shot a few texts back and forth, and before 1199 01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:36,600 Speaker 1: I knew it, I was, you know, stepping out the 1200 01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:42,360 Speaker 1: limo meeting back. I mean, this is totally unexpected. Then, yeah, 1201 01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:44,919 Speaker 1: totally unexpected. You know, I had no idea this would 1202 01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:47,440 Speaker 1: happen if it wasn't something that you know, I went 1203 01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:50,760 Speaker 1: and pursued. But I had just got hurt on in 1204 01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:53,840 Speaker 1: New Orleans. I was on injury reserve the entire season. 1205 01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:55,840 Speaker 1: There's no chance I was gonna play last years an 1206 01:01:55,840 --> 01:01:59,760 Speaker 1: I are off season, and um so I'm just rehabbing 1207 01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:03,200 Speaker 1: at own and you know, I'm finally getting healthy, healthy 1208 01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:06,520 Speaker 1: enough to to do things, but not playing NFL football, 1209 01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:09,600 Speaker 1: and and then, um, you know I started that's and 1210 01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:12,080 Speaker 1: then that's when I got in touch with the casting 1211 01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:14,200 Speaker 1: people from the back. So I started talking to them 1212 01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:16,360 Speaker 1: and going back and forth and it is something I 1213 01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:18,800 Speaker 1: should do or not, And I, you know, I just started. 1214 01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:22,080 Speaker 1: I was, you know, give it a shot and take 1215 01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:24,920 Speaker 1: a shot at load. That's amazing. I mean, were you 1216 01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:29,120 Speaker 1: concerned all what people would think? I mean, it's it's interesting. 1217 01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:32,240 Speaker 1: I'm a big fan, big big NFL fan, and I 1218 01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:34,880 Speaker 1: watch all these guys on TV and they're battling Sunday 1219 01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:37,640 Speaker 1: after Sunday, but we don't get it up close and personal, 1220 01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:41,040 Speaker 1: looking to their like personal lives typically and and especially 1221 01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:44,680 Speaker 1: their love life. What were you fearful at all or 1222 01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:48,240 Speaker 1: why weren't you fearful maybe of entering into a show 1223 01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:51,440 Speaker 1: that really does highlight who you are and your insecurities 1224 01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:55,920 Speaker 1: and and and makes you vulnerable to the public. Yeah, no, 1225 01:02:56,040 --> 01:02:59,000 Speaker 1: that's a good question. It's you know, it's tough and 1226 01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:02,160 Speaker 1: most people don't really see us. I'll want to run 1227 01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:04,360 Speaker 1: the NFL field as as people. We got all the 1228 01:03:04,360 --> 01:03:06,680 Speaker 1: pad n you know the name on the back of 1229 01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:08,840 Speaker 1: the jersey, and you know the favorite team. We're just 1230 01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:11,160 Speaker 1: a player for a team. You know. It's it's you 1231 01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:15,120 Speaker 1: don't really I really know that the actual person. You 1232 01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:17,080 Speaker 1: just see the person you see every Sunday, the guy 1233 01:03:17,120 --> 01:03:19,720 Speaker 1: that you know does this or that, makes this sort 1234 01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:22,000 Speaker 1: of player, what position he is?

So it was different. Yeah, 1237 01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:32,520 Speaker 1: there was a piece of me that was nervous. You know, 1238 01:03:32,520 --> 01:03:34,440 Speaker 1: what do people think if I you know, if I 1239 01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:39,160 Speaker 1: go on the show and you know, we'll coaches GM 1240 01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:42,320 Speaker 1: think something of it. But for me, you know, I 1241 01:03:42,320 --> 01:03:44,160 Speaker 1: think this will be a good thing for the to 1242 01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:46,640 Speaker 1: the league. I'm gonna go out there be myself and 1243 01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:50,640 Speaker 1: just show people that, you know, NFL players and prestonal 1244 01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:53,200 Speaker 1: athletes are just normal people. You know. We struggle sometimes 1245 01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:56,200 Speaker 1: to meet people, and sometimes it's even harder. It's hard 1246 01:03:56,240 --> 01:03:58,680 Speaker 1: to meet people when you're when you're an NFL player, 1247 01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:02,600 Speaker 1: you're you're successful in people. Some people like you for 1248 01:04:02,600 --> 01:04:05,959 Speaker 1: the wrong reasons, you know what they It's it's tough 1249 01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:08,400 Speaker 1: sometimes to sepuate that. And when I knew Beco was 1250 01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:10,240 Speaker 1: going to be the best threat, she was definitely a 1251 01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:14,160 Speaker 1: woman that I was interested in. And she has so 1252 01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:18,240 Speaker 1: much going for others in her look. She's you know, successful, 1253 01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:20,800 Speaker 1: beautiful obviously, and I thought it would be a good 1254 01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:24,480 Speaker 1: opportunity to you know, meet someone potentially that's fund the 1255 01:04:24,520 --> 01:04:27,560 Speaker 1: rest of my life with we get it. Yeah, that's awesome, man, 1256 01:04:27,640 --> 01:04:30,840 Speaker 1: That's that's I'd say. It's really incredible of you to 1257 01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:33,920 Speaker 1: take that risk. Uh. And thanks for you know, as 1258 01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:35,480 Speaker 1: a fan of the show, thank you for letting all 1259 01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:37,240 Speaker 1: of us get an up close and personal look into 1260 01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:39,320 Speaker 1: your love life. Because now I know when I'm watching 1261 01:04:39,320 --> 01:04:41,400 Speaker 1: on Sundays, I feel like I know you a little 1262 01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:45,479 Speaker 1: bit better, which which is exciting for me. Um flash 1263 01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:48,680 Speaker 1: forwards show. Now, Okay, how does it feel to get 1264 01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:51,440 Speaker 1: hurt playing football with a budget clowns when you're a 1265 01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:56,520 Speaker 1: professional football player. Yeah, I know, that's that's a tough one. 1266 01:04:56,560 --> 01:05:00,400 Speaker 1: And so it's interesting because you know, it's farmed a 1267 01:05:00,440 --> 01:05:02,360 Speaker 1: lot of people in my life. But I'm looking at it. 1268 01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:04,920 Speaker 1: You know, it's a glass half fool. If I'm going 1269 01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:09,200 Speaker 1: to break my arm on you know, Angeo, Ryan and 1270 01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:14,200 Speaker 1: I probably would break it, you know, on an NFL linebacker. 1271 01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:17,360 Speaker 1: So obviously it wasn't healthy. It must not have There 1272 01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:20,000 Speaker 1: must have been something there that that wasn't right. Now 1273 01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:24,360 Speaker 1: it's fixed, it feels strong, and it's healthy in time 1274 01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:26,640 Speaker 1: for training camp. I have a couple of workouts set 1275 01:05:26,720 --> 01:05:30,800 Speaker 1: up coming up of teams, and you know, I've showed 1276 01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:33,800 Speaker 1: them healthy, show them in shape, and I'm confident I'll 1277 01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:37,120 Speaker 1: get back on a roster in time for training camp. Yeah. 1278 01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:40,640 Speaker 1: Because I'm confident, Clay that a lot of gms, a 1279 01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:42,920 Speaker 1: lot of head coaches are listening to almost famous podcasts. 1280 01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:46,240 Speaker 1: They're they're huge fans of this podcast.

Malan's title is Lauren's 1515 01:18:12,280 --> 01:18:14,120 Speaker 1: Insta post with r This is a great one. How 1516 01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:16,960 Speaker 1: you guys, I love your podcast. I'm a faithful listener. Okay, 1517 01:18:17,120 --> 01:18:20,479 Speaker 1: can you guys address Laurence insta post with Ari from 1518 01:18:20,479 --> 01:18:23,519 Speaker 1: this past weekend. Her caption said something about how they 1519 01:18:23,560 --> 01:18:27,080 Speaker 1: met at a location a year ago from that day, 1520 01:18:27,080 --> 01:18:29,639 Speaker 1: but I'm confused because they thought they met on The Bachelor. 1521 01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:32,320 Speaker 1: So many people comment on her photo asking the same question, 1522 01:18:32,360 --> 01:18:34,080 Speaker 1: but we didn't get any answers. I love you guys, 1523 01:18:34,400 --> 01:18:36,720 Speaker 1: love the Bachelor franchise. Thanks. Okay, so I have a 1524 01:18:36,760 --> 01:18:40,479 Speaker 1: little bit of insight in this. Lauren and Ari did 1525 01:18:40,560 --> 01:18:43,559 Speaker 1: me outside of the Bachelor and this let's talk about 1526 01:18:43,560 --> 01:18:45,960 Speaker 1: a little bit during their season. It wasn't brought up 1527 01:18:45,960 --> 01:18:48,120 Speaker 1: off because it really wasn't a big deal. Lauren just 1528 01:18:48,160 --> 01:18:51,000 Speaker 1: happened to find herself at a race once about a 1529 01:18:51,080 --> 01:18:53,080 Speaker 1: year ago. I don't know where he's asking as Dallas 1530 01:18:53,160 --> 01:18:55,840 Speaker 1: or Detroit and place. Anyways, she was at a race 1531 01:18:55,880 --> 01:18:58,880 Speaker 1: that Ari was participating in and they walked past his 1532 01:18:58,880 --> 01:19:01,320 Speaker 1: his garage and saw are out working on his truck. 1533 01:19:01,800 --> 01:19:04,240 Speaker 1: At that point, warn her friends stopped and just said, Hey, 1534 01:19:04,280 --> 01:19:08,960 Speaker 1: you're Ari from the Bachelor at and he says, I am. 1535 01:19:09,120 --> 01:19:11,599 Speaker 1: I am Ari from the Bachelor at And that was it. 1536 01:19:11,880 --> 01:19:14,519 Speaker 1: That was it. They got a picture. Uh, they they 1537 01:19:14,600 --> 01:19:16,559 Speaker 1: laughed about something, and then they moved on. I think 1538 01:19:16,560 --> 01:19:18,560 Speaker 1: that's what she was talking about, was that, you know, 1539 01:19:18,600 --> 01:19:22,559 Speaker 1: they met very briefly with with no romantic connection, um 1540 01:19:22,600 --> 01:19:25,080 Speaker 1: a year ago, and how crazy is it that they 1541 01:19:25,120 --> 01:19:27,400 Speaker 1: meet again on on the Bachelor. I mean she had 1542 01:19:27,479 --> 01:19:29,640 Speaker 1: she had no idea he was going to be the Bachelor. 1543 01:19:30,120 --> 01:19:31,519 Speaker 1: He had no idea who's going to be a Bachelor 1544 01:19:31,560 --> 01:19:35,920 Speaker 1: at the time. But yet hey, they fell him off 1545 01:19:36,040 --> 01:19:40,040 Speaker 1: they got together. Next one from Christie Colton and Tia rekindled. Hi, guys, 1546 01:19:40,040 --> 01:19:42,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna cut to the chase because I'm freaking out 1547 01:19:42,320 --> 01:19:45,120 Speaker 1: over here. I'm reading all these tweets and Instagram stories 1548 01:19:45,120 --> 01:19:48,519 Speaker 1: that Becky m has posting about Colton and Tia rekindled. Okay, 1549 01:19:48,640 --> 01:19:50,880 Speaker 1: so does that mean that Tia had to jump back 1550 01:19:50,880 --> 01:19:53,519 Speaker 1: in the picture while he was on the show still 1551 01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:56,360 Speaker 1: or do you think they started dating again after he 1552 01:19:56,439 --> 01:20:00,320 Speaker 1: got booted. I never liked Tia, she says, you could 1553 01:20:00,360 --> 01:20:03,320 Speaker 1: just see her intentions in those beady little eyes. Oh 1554 01:20:03,400 --> 01:20:08,040 Speaker 1: that's mean of hers. When she makes us smirked, Christie 1555 01:20:08,120 --> 01:20:10,880 Speaker 1: is not a fan anyways. Would love to know your thoughts, opinions, 1556 01:20:10,880 --> 01:20:12,839 Speaker 1: and an insider scooping you might have on the situation. 1557 01:20:12,880 --> 01:20:15,840 Speaker 1: Love you guys so much. And then she just tries 1558 01:20:15,840 --> 01:20:17,040 Speaker 1: to hook me up with her sister. At the end, 1559 01:20:17,080 --> 01:20:18,920 Speaker 1: she goes, ps, but if you're single, I really have 1560 01:20:18,920 --> 01:20:20,479 Speaker 1: a pretty sister. I think you make a great care 1561 01:20:20,520 --> 01:20:24,040 Speaker 1: with Well, thank you, it's sweet. Figure sister is beautiful. Um, 1562 01:20:24,080 --> 01:20:25,439 Speaker 1: that's not we're here. We're not here to set me 1563 01:20:25,520 --> 01:20:27,519 Speaker 1: up on a really sup We're here to talk Tea 1564 01:20:27,640 --> 01:20:30,080 Speaker 1: and Colton. As mentioned earlier, it's a big deal. This 1565 01:20:30,120 --> 01:20:32,040 Speaker 1: is This will be a storyline throughout this show. I 1566 01:20:32,080 --> 01:20:33,800 Speaker 1: don't know how it ends, or if it ends, or 1567 01:20:34,000 --> 01:20:36,280 Speaker 1: if it comes back in the picture or not, but 1568 01:20:36,320 --> 01:20:41,040 Speaker 1: whatever it is, there's something romantic going on, um previously 1569 01:20:41,200 --> 01:20:43,720 Speaker 1: for Tina Colton, and from what I understand from Becca M, 1570 01:20:43,760 --> 01:20:45,200 Speaker 1: it seems to be something going on now. I don't 1571 01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:48,599 Speaker 1: I don't know the situation. What I imagine is happening 1572 01:20:49,200 --> 01:20:51,800 Speaker 1: is that t and Colton somewhere, somehow, it's in paradise 1573 01:20:51,920 --> 01:20:56,000 Speaker 1: or whatever, did get back together. Um through pictures or whatever. 1574 01:20:56,000 --> 01:20:58,320 Speaker 1: It looks like they're pretty friendly. My friends typically don't 1575 01:20:58,320 --> 01:21:01,479 Speaker 1: sit on my laps, at least not when I ask 1576 01:21:01,520 --> 01:21:03,960 Speaker 1: you to. And so there's a picture out there where 1577 01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:07,160 Speaker 1: Tea is sitting on Colton's lab. I don't do that often. 1578 01:21:07,560 --> 01:21:10,960 Speaker 1: I think that only happens when you're romantically interested in somebody, 1579 01:21:11,080 --> 01:21:13,840 Speaker 1: or when it's Christmas and you know Santa Claus is near. 1580 01:21:14,200 --> 01:21:17,479 Speaker 1: So whatever is happening between Tia Golden, it's a little serious. 1581 01:21:17,520 --> 01:21:19,960 Speaker 1: It's something we need to follow. It's gonna be dramatic, 1582 01:21:20,040 --> 01:21:24,400 Speaker 1: it's gonna be incredible. The Becca and Becca M versus 1583 01:21:24,479 --> 01:21:27,160 Speaker 1: Raven scenario has will not end soon. I don't think 1584 01:21:27,400 --> 01:21:30,120 Speaker 1: we've got to get this brought up. UM. If anything, 1585 01:21:30,160 --> 01:21:32,680 Speaker 1: it's great pr for the show. I mean, I'm well, 1586 01:21:32,720 --> 01:21:36,040 Speaker 1: I'm loving watching it. I'm staying connected from it. So anyways, 1587 01:21:36,080 --> 01:21:37,559 Speaker 1: my inside scoopa is this. I don't know a lot, 1588 01:21:38,080 --> 01:21:40,240 Speaker 1: but I do know that something weird is happening. Something 1589 01:21:40,240 --> 01:21:43,960 Speaker 1: we gotta follow, something we've gotta stay up the date on. Okay, 1590 01:21:44,200 --> 01:21:47,360 Speaker 1: here it is little relationship and this will be a 1591 01:21:47,400 --> 01:21:49,040 Speaker 1: last one for the day. This one some Kelsey. It's 1592 01:21:49,040 --> 01:21:52,479 Speaker 1: called always bickering. But whose fault is it? How I've 1593 01:21:52,479 --> 01:21:54,599 Speaker 1: been in Ashley? So here's the problem I've been having. 1594 01:21:54,960 --> 01:21:58,760 Speaker 1: I've been having some issues. My boyfriend and I have 1595 01:21:58,880 --> 01:22:02,400 Speaker 1: been together for over four years. This past year was 1596 01:22:02,439 --> 01:22:04,559 Speaker 1: the first we've been living together in twenty five, and 1597 01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:07,759 Speaker 1: he's twenty four. He is the love of my life, 1598 01:22:08,120 --> 01:22:10,479 Speaker 1: is the kindest heart, and our listship is great. He 1599 01:22:10,479 --> 01:22:14,080 Speaker 1: still gives me butterflies even after all these years. However, 1600 01:22:14,120 --> 01:22:16,559 Speaker 1: I find myself constantly getting upset over the smallest things 1601 01:22:16,600 --> 01:22:19,280 Speaker 1: he says to me. For example, sometimes he will say 1602 01:22:19,280 --> 01:22:21,040 Speaker 1: things to me in a cold, harsh tone, and I 1603 01:22:21,040 --> 01:22:23,679 Speaker 1: immediately get upset over it. I always feel so guilty 1604 01:22:23,720 --> 01:22:25,720 Speaker 1: because I'm the one who starts these fights. But at 1605 01:22:25,760 --> 01:22:28,120 Speaker 1: the same time, if he didn't act cold and harsh 1606 01:22:28,120 --> 01:22:31,440 Speaker 1: towards me, I wouldn't be upset. Is it my reactions 1607 01:22:31,439 --> 01:22:33,600 Speaker 1: to things that are causing these problems in our relationship 1608 01:22:33,720 --> 01:22:37,240 Speaker 1: or is he actually doing something wrong? And if my reaction, 1609 01:22:37,320 --> 01:22:39,960 Speaker 1: if it's my actions and things, how do I fix it? Oh? Boy, 1610 01:22:40,160 --> 01:22:44,719 Speaker 1: this one hits close to home. Ah feeling it, Kelsey, 1611 01:22:44,760 --> 01:22:47,400 Speaker 1: this is a good one, I've said he recently. One 1612 01:22:47,439 --> 01:22:49,439 Speaker 1: of the things I've learned in my past relationships, and 1613 01:22:49,520 --> 01:22:51,720 Speaker 1: especially the one with Lauren, is my reaction to things 1614 01:22:51,720 --> 01:22:54,960 Speaker 1: are very bad. I am terrible at reacting. I don't 1615 01:22:55,000 --> 01:22:58,160 Speaker 1: react well. I get over sensitive, or I get um 1616 01:22:58,160 --> 01:23:00,160 Speaker 1: over anxious, or get over anger or whatever it is. 1617 01:23:00,200 --> 01:23:03,680 Speaker 1: I don't react initially to two situations as well. I 1618 01:23:03,680 --> 01:23:05,559 Speaker 1: don't know where that comes from or why that is, 1619 01:23:05,640 --> 01:23:07,640 Speaker 1: and I should probably talk to my counselor about it, 1620 01:23:07,680 --> 01:23:10,120 Speaker 1: but I don't, and I admit that. And I know 1621 01:23:10,160 --> 01:23:12,400 Speaker 1: that I put myself in a situation that oftentimes is 1622 01:23:12,400 --> 01:23:15,000 Speaker 1: worse than it needs to be because of how I've reacted. 1623 01:23:15,040 --> 01:23:19,280 Speaker 1: So I can exactly. I can picture multiple scenarios in 1624 01:23:19,280 --> 01:23:22,840 Speaker 1: my life with with people, friends or romantic relationships where 1625 01:23:22,840 --> 01:23:24,640 Speaker 1: somebody has said something that they don't even mean to 1626 01:23:24,680 --> 01:23:30,639 Speaker 1: be completed completely um rude or um personal, and I've 1627 01:23:30,680 --> 01:23:33,439 Speaker 1: taken it personally and I've reacted poorly because of it. 1628 01:23:33,880 --> 01:23:36,160 Speaker 1: I think that comes a little bit from insecurity. I 1629 01:23:36,240 --> 01:23:38,280 Speaker 1: think it comes a little bit from being oversensitive. I 1630 01:23:38,280 --> 01:23:41,080 Speaker 1: think I have um a little bit of insecurity that 1631 01:23:41,080 --> 01:23:43,600 Speaker 1: that I try to mask, and when somebody hits it 1632 01:23:43,640 --> 01:23:45,680 Speaker 1: on the head, I react poorly because I think they 1633 01:23:45,760 --> 01:23:49,040 Speaker 1: found me out. And I have this like weird feeling 1634 01:23:49,080 --> 01:23:51,000 Speaker 1: and you've heard about it where I feel unlovable because 1635 01:23:51,040 --> 01:23:53,640 Speaker 1: if somebody really found me out, they wouldn't love me. 1636 01:23:53,680 --> 01:23:55,680 Speaker 1: And so when somebody close to me, I feel like, 1637 01:23:55,760 --> 01:23:57,560 Speaker 1: finds me out, I'm like, oh no, here's it's the 1638 01:23:57,600 --> 01:24:00,479 Speaker 1: beginning of the they understand me now. And now they're 1639 01:24:00,520 --> 01:24:02,400 Speaker 1: they're starting to make fun of my faults and they're 1640 01:24:02,400 --> 01:24:04,120 Speaker 1: starting to pick up my faults and it's all over 1641 01:24:04,160 --> 01:24:08,520 Speaker 1: from here. So I think I react um poorly too, 1642 01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:12,120 Speaker 1: to defend myself, to protect myself. And maybe that's what 1643 01:24:12,160 --> 01:24:13,559 Speaker 1: you're doing. I don't know. I mean, I don't want 1644 01:24:13,560 --> 01:24:15,719 Speaker 1: to say you have insecurities that you're masking or hiding, 1645 01:24:16,280 --> 01:24:17,960 Speaker 1: but I'd like to ask the question to you, and 1646 01:24:17,960 --> 01:24:19,160 Speaker 1: I'd like to ask you to think about it for 1647 01:24:19,160 --> 01:24:23,519 Speaker 1: a little bit. Kelsey, is why why is your reaction 1648 01:24:23,640 --> 01:24:26,519 Speaker 1: so negative? Why isn't it positive? Is there a way 1649 01:24:26,560 --> 01:24:29,080 Speaker 1: to switch the reaction to be positive, even if it's 1650 01:24:29,280 --> 01:24:31,120 Speaker 1: to take a ten seconds and count down? And my 1651 01:24:31,200 --> 01:24:33,760 Speaker 1: mom taught me as a kid. I remember this, and 1652 01:24:34,720 --> 01:24:38,439 Speaker 1: when something was bothering me and something was was was wrong, 1653 01:24:39,120 --> 01:24:42,280 Speaker 1: anytime I would feel that urge to defend myself, but 1654 01:24:42,800 --> 01:24:45,080 Speaker 1: it was always always taught to me to count down 1655 01:24:45,080 --> 01:24:48,920 Speaker 1: from ten, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five one, And 1656 01:24:48,960 --> 01:24:51,240 Speaker 1: once you've done that, you take a deep breath. Typically 1657 01:24:51,560 --> 01:24:55,280 Speaker 1: you're able to get yourself back into reality and it's 1658 01:24:55,280 --> 01:24:58,280 Speaker 1: no longer reaction, but it's an intentional communication that you're 1659 01:24:58,280 --> 01:25:01,160 Speaker 1: able to give that hopefully highlights the issue at hand. 1660 01:25:01,200 --> 01:25:03,600 Speaker 1: So you know, I don't think there's anything wrong with 1661 01:25:03,680 --> 01:25:06,960 Speaker 1: you telling your boyfriend. Sometimes when you're cold, it comes 1662 01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:08,680 Speaker 1: off harsh to me. And when you get harsh to me, 1663 01:25:09,280 --> 01:25:12,040 Speaker 1: I unfortunately react negative to it, and I would like 1664 01:25:12,080 --> 01:25:15,200 Speaker 1: to change that, because honey, I love you and I 1665 01:25:15,240 --> 01:25:17,240 Speaker 1: like you, and I don't want to be the person 1666 01:25:17,280 --> 01:25:19,519 Speaker 1: in your life that's griping at you or that's causing 1667 01:25:19,560 --> 01:25:22,160 Speaker 1: guilt fights, because that makes me feel guilty. When I 1668 01:25:22,160 --> 01:25:24,479 Speaker 1: feel guilty, I don't feel like we're flourishing as a couple. 1669 01:25:24,600 --> 01:25:27,080 Speaker 1: I think that's fine communication, to have great communication, to 1670 01:25:27,120 --> 01:25:29,800 Speaker 1: have one that any caring partner would say, Okay, thank 1671 01:25:29,840 --> 01:25:31,680 Speaker 1: you for telling me this. I get it, and I 1672 01:25:31,720 --> 01:25:34,040 Speaker 1: will try to be less cold to you. I think 1673 01:25:34,080 --> 01:25:36,599 Speaker 1: one thing that's just awesome here. And I'm thinking through 1674 01:25:36,600 --> 01:25:39,200 Speaker 1: this because if my partner ever said to me, hey, baby, 1675 01:25:39,240 --> 01:25:42,439 Speaker 1: I don't want you to be cold towards me, because 1676 01:25:42,479 --> 01:25:45,080 Speaker 1: I love it when we can just talk. And if 1677 01:25:45,080 --> 01:25:49,040 Speaker 1: you're feeling tired or you're feeling upset, then take time away, 1678 01:25:49,120 --> 01:25:51,840 Speaker 1: take time alone. I get that you need that to 1679 01:25:51,880 --> 01:25:55,680 Speaker 1: rejuvenate yourself. That would make me feel really caredful and 1680 01:25:55,720 --> 01:26:00,639 Speaker 1: really loved and really uh really excited about the future 1681 01:26:00,640 --> 01:26:03,240 Speaker 1: of our relationship. So communicate this stuff, but do an 1682 01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:06,040 Speaker 1: appropriate way. Take some time and even your email here, 1683 01:26:07,080 --> 01:26:09,240 Speaker 1: I mean just just knowing how an instances, I always 1684 01:26:09,280 --> 01:26:11,439 Speaker 1: feel so guilty because I'm the one who starts these fights. 1685 01:26:11,439 --> 01:26:13,240 Speaker 1: But at the same time, if you didn't have cold 1686 01:26:13,240 --> 01:26:16,639 Speaker 1: and the hartshwords of me, sometimes I wouldn't be upset you. 1687 01:26:16,640 --> 01:26:18,080 Speaker 1: You can tell that you don't want to be upset 1688 01:26:18,120 --> 01:26:22,400 Speaker 1: with it. So just the opening, honest um, talk to 1689 01:26:22,479 --> 01:26:24,800 Speaker 1: him this isn't an issue that's gonna be fixed over night. 1690 01:26:24,920 --> 01:26:28,000 Speaker 1: We all have issues, though.
