Speaker 2: iHeartRadio podcast.

Speaker 1: episode of Help We Suck At Being at Newlyweds? It's
Speaker 1: yours truly Dean Michael Babies, joined by Kaylen Miller Babies
Speaker 1: and Jared Jared What is Jared's middle name? Jared Babies
Speaker 1: joining us from Rhode Island. Yeah, Judge, Jared Haven Babies.
Speaker 1: I'll go about, Hey, Babies, what is your middle name? Actually?
Speaker 1: While we're on the subject.
Speaker 3: Matthew, So, anytime my mom was mad at me, it
Speaker 3: was always Jared Matthew.
Speaker 1: Mat That's how I knew I did something wrong. You
Speaker 1: want to know what makes us such great co hosts?
Speaker 1: All three of us, we all have m middle names.
Speaker 1: Marie Michael Matthew.
Speaker 2: We sure do.
Speaker 1: Marie Michael Matthew. That sounds like a Dave Matthew.
Speaker 3: That's a great name.
Speaker 1: It sounds like a religious name or something. Marie Michael Matthew.
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe not. Anyways, we got a great
Speaker 1: episode for you guy, yes today. And why is that?
Speaker 1: You might ask? Because it's just us talking, just talking
Speaker 1: about our lives and Kaylin and I, well, I guess
Speaker 1: we're going to record an episode next week.
Speaker 2: But I keep thinking, this is episode where we can
Speaker 2: talk about the whole wedding, because this is the last one.
Speaker 1: But next week we can talk about it.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, not all the details and stuff.
Speaker 1: This is so much better. I got to make eye
Speaker 1: contact with you. I really appreciate this setup, more so
Speaker 1: for the listeners. I brought my own computer this time,
Speaker 1: and I'm sitting at the same table as Kaylan, but
Speaker 1: just on the opposite side of it, and I like
Speaker 1: to be able to look at you.
Speaker 2: It's good too, because technically speaking, Dean is super loud
Speaker 2: and he bleeds into my mic. So it's great.
Speaker 1: Yes, and my eyes I'm not good at eye contact,
Speaker 1: they wander, but I can make eye contact with you.
Speaker 1: Oh so this is good for me.
Speaker 2: It's great.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Anyways, It's like the difference between sitting on the same
Speaker 3: side of the booth and sitting across from each other
Speaker 3: at the booth.
Speaker 2: Yes, we're not same side boothers? Are you guys?
Speaker 1: No? Who the hell is psychopaths are? I've done it?
Speaker 2: He does it to switch it up and try to
Speaker 2: be weird do it.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'll do it, like okay with Kayla and I
Speaker 1: both like the booth and we hate the chairs. And
Speaker 1: so if I really want the booth, but she really
Speaker 1: wants the booth, theimmable sit in the booth. That's happened
Speaker 1: a few times.
Speaker 2: Yeah, very rightly.
Speaker 1: Sometimes like you need the booth, but the TV is
Speaker 1: you can only watch the TV from sitting in the booth.
Speaker 1: And there's a football game on and I have to
Speaker 1: sit in the booth and watch the football game.
Speaker 2: So yeah, one time we walked into a restaurant and
Speaker 2: every single person in this restaurant, it was the weirdest thing,
Speaker 2: was sitting same booth and there were tape, there were
Speaker 2: chairs on the opposite side. I'm like, what kind of
Speaker 2: esther's kitchen in Vegas? Every single person I don't remember
Speaker 2: that the weirdest thing.
Speaker 1: That is strange. I got some wedding stuff. I got
Speaker 1: my shirt, my belt buckles, it's something to get my
Speaker 1: cowboy hat. Sabi need to do that. Nas. But next week, Jared,
Speaker 1: are you are you coming to the wedding?
Speaker 3: No, obviously not. We will not be there.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, we.
Speaker 1: Are svped, Yes, and we're all booked, we're ready to go.
Speaker 1: We have our.
Speaker 3: I won't say what type of room it is because
Speaker 3: I feel like that gives away a little bit of
Speaker 3: the location.
Speaker 2: Do you guys have your cowboy hats and cowboy boots ready?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: So, like it's not like a thing. Are we gonna
Speaker 3: be wearing? Like because the attire rundown that we got
Speaker 3: from your wedding planner, I would imagine. I did say
Speaker 3: it was encouraged yep, not necessary mandatory, okay, because I
Speaker 3: don't own anything like that now. I have boots, obviously,
Speaker 3: cowboy boots I don't have. Do you know are you
Speaker 3: gonna be wearing cowboy boots?
Speaker 1: Is this?
Speaker 3: Are you actually doing this?
Speaker 1: I'm not a cowboy boot guy. I am going to
Speaker 1: be wearing a hat that will resemble the cowboy aesthetic.
Speaker 1: I'll be wearing a bolo tie and a belt buckle.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: The thing Jared is, you guys should really lean into this.
Speaker 1: It's a great opportunity. It's not. I don't want to
Speaker 1: say it's like Halloween because that's degrading it a little bit,
Speaker 1: but like it is an excuse to dress maybe out
Speaker 1: of your comfort zone a little bit, get a little
Speaker 1: creative with your outfits.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like the Yellowstone esthetic.
Speaker 3: What about the wedding day, wedding day.
Speaker 2: If you want to. We went to a Colorado redding
Speaker 2: wedding and a lot of people were wearing boots and hats.
Speaker 2: If you want to, anything goes really, anything but jeans,
Speaker 2: anything but denim. We're good.
Speaker 1: Yeah. My friends called my friends from Colorado like, we're
Speaker 1: asking for outfit advice because they live in the mountains,
Speaker 1: and they're like, we know what mountain cheek is, but
Speaker 1: mountain cheek to them is way different than mountain cheks
Speaker 1: for you.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean I'm kind of on their side because I agree.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I think the word cheek
Speaker 1: alone indicates that it's a little more high brow than
Speaker 1: than denim. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So what do you wear with cowboy boots other than jeans? Oh?
Speaker 2: You wear like, you know, your normal suit with cowboy
Speaker 2: boots and a hat to make it more Colorado. Like
Speaker 2: picture Yellowstone. How they dress up in Yellowstone is what
Speaker 2: we're going for.
Speaker 1: Kill them loves yellow Stone or having a Yellowstone themed wedding.
Speaker 2: Accept Beth's wedding, because Best's wedding was a little uh
Speaker 2: like Vegas, that Beth, that Beth.
Speaker 3: Well, we got to get Costner at this wedding. I
Speaker 3: don't watch Yellowstone, so I don't know how they dress up.
Speaker 3: I guess I'm trying to think of, Like, honestly, the
Speaker 3: first thing that came to my mind, yeah, was Back
Speaker 3: to the Future three mm. And I'm like trying to
Speaker 3: think about how they dressed it because that's when they
Speaker 3: go to the Old West, Like, how the hell did
Speaker 3: they dress up nicely?
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, that's a good call. You could watch like
Speaker 1: a couple episodes of West World. They they wear suits
Speaker 1: in that.
Speaker 2: Well, that's like eighteen hundreds, isn't it.
Speaker 1: It's the West. It's mountain cheek. I guess we're right.
Speaker 1: Is it so an old Western wedding? Or is it
Speaker 1: a mountain sheep wedding?
Speaker 2: Not old Western?
Speaker 1: Okay? Gotcha?
Speaker 2: Kevin Costner and Yellowstone, he looks very handsome dressed up
Speaker 2: in his suits. Most of the time they're wearing Dunham
Speaker 2: on the farm or whatever you would call it. But
Speaker 2: when they ranch, thank you. But when they're dressed up,
Speaker 2: they've got the hats, they've got the boots, and they've
Speaker 2: got the suits at all.
Speaker 1: That's that's the boots in the suits.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's the aesthetic we're going. We'll see how
Speaker 2: people show up. Are you looking it up right now? Oh?
Speaker 3: I'm one hundred percent looking up. So they only they
Speaker 3: have Costner. I see him in a cowboy hat and
Speaker 3: a soup, but it's not a full body, which sucks.
Speaker 3: It's from the waist up, and I need to know
Speaker 3: what he looks like from the waist down. Maybe I
Speaker 3: should just google Kevin Costner Yellowstone waist down.
Speaker 2: See what comes up.
Speaker 1: I just started googling mountain chic and it auto correct
Speaker 1: it's the mountain chicken. And the first thing that came
Speaker 1: up was a frog. So that was so weird.
Speaker 2: Mountain chickens are actually frogs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you heard it here first, Jared, you could borrow
Speaker 1: a belt buckle if you if you'd like, I've got
Speaker 1: a I've got an extra, so feel free to jump
Speaker 1: on on the belt buckle bandwagon if you want.
Speaker 3: Well, now I kind of want to buy a belt buckle.
Speaker 2: It's a fun time to dress up, embrace your mountain.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So, because I think it's different obviously for girls,
Speaker 3: because Ashley can wear cowboy boots with a dress.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a that's a good look.
Speaker 3: So I'm I'm, i'm we should be dressing up for
Speaker 3: the wedding day, not just the wedding weekend, but like
Speaker 3: the day of I'm showing up in a suit and
Speaker 3: cowboy boots and Ashley's in a dressing cowboy boots.
Speaker 1: Is this accurate? Yeah? That sounds good to me. I'm
Speaker 1: thinking like a nice I mean, obviously you're not gonna
Speaker 1: go out and buy a whole new wardrobe for this,
Speaker 1: but I'm thinking like a nice earth toned suit with
Speaker 1: a white shirt, probably a bolo tie, but I don't
Speaker 1: want too many bullet ties because I'm gonna be wearing
Speaker 1: bolow ties.
Speaker 3: I don't think I'm gonna wear a bolo tipe.
Speaker 1: I've I've got extras if you want to borrow one,
Speaker 1: but much appreciated.
Speaker 3: But like you guys are so you wearing cowboy boots
Speaker 3: down the aisle bro No.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I told you I can't wear cowboy boots.
Speaker 1: My feet don't fit in cowboy boots.
Speaker 2: They make figs.
Speaker 1: No, no, nope. I got a weird bend in my
Speaker 1: foot that onions or something bendings in my foot.
Speaker 3: I'm just trying to figure out what I should be
Speaker 3: wearing for the wedding itself, because I might, like, you know, obviously,
Speaker 3: I don't really venture out my comfort zone, so usually
Speaker 3: I'll just be wearing, you know, suit, nice shoes. But
Speaker 3: I guess I could try to wear cowboy boots, but
Speaker 3: also I don't want to show up in cowboy boots.
Speaker 3: And then everybody else is not wearing any cowboy boots
Speaker 3: for the wedding, and I'm the jackass.
Speaker 2: It's like legally Blonde, where she shows up to the
Speaker 2: Halloween party dressed up and she's the only one. I was.
Speaker 3: What was on yesterday? Mean Girls was on the other day,
Speaker 3: and it was the scene where she dresses up to
Speaker 3: the Halloween party and she's the like bride, you know,
Speaker 3: vampire tracting his wife or whatever the hell she is,
Speaker 3: and everybody else is just dressed like a slut.
Speaker 2: There's two two types of girls on Halloween. I don't
Speaker 2: remember what she says after that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Mean Girls a great movie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's new with you?
Speaker 1: Jared? Ashley's very into the summer. I turned pretty.
Speaker 2: She's just getting into it for the first time. Oh,
Speaker 2: she's obsessed oh my god, me too. I can't get
Speaker 2: into TV shows. Because we've talked about this before. I
Speaker 2: have a hard time watching more than like one or
Speaker 2: two episodes because I just I'm like, Okay, yeah that
Speaker 2: was good, and I can never watch it again. But
Speaker 2: because I just can't invest that type of time. But
Speaker 2: Ashley watched like the first i'm not joking four episodes,
Speaker 2: so you're talking about, you know, almost four hours of
Speaker 2: your life. She's like, this show sucks. I don't like
Speaker 2: this show at all. Yeah, She's like, I'm going to
Speaker 2: give up on it. I don't underststand why people like it.
Speaker 2: It's just it's not my thing.
Speaker 1: I don't like it.
Speaker 3: I was like, all right, I'm sorry to hear that.
Speaker 3: She's like, but I'm gonna so many people like it,
Speaker 3: I'm going to keep trying. I'm like, this is why
Speaker 3: I don't like TV shows, because you have to invest
Speaker 3: so much time. And then, of course, episodes five or six,
Speaker 3: whatever the hell it turned around for she was she
Speaker 3: was like, Okay, got a lot better. And now she's
Speaker 3: at the point where she's like, Jared, i can't tell
Speaker 3: you how much I love this show. It's changing me
Speaker 3: as a person, and I'm so glad I didn't give
Speaker 3: up on it, and I was like, wow, that's a
Speaker 3: big that's a big one to eighty right there.
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's changed me as a person,
Speaker 2: but it is such a good show. And she has
Speaker 2: to read the books after and then if she still
Speaker 2: needs more, they have audio books read by the characters
Speaker 2: from the show, so you just get like a different perspective.
Speaker 1: If you already read the book.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you can read it again. You can't get enough.
Speaker 2: I don't know why I can't get enough of it,
Speaker 2: but it's so good and it's so precious and wholesome.
Speaker 1: What is it called again?
Speaker 2: The Summer I Turned pretty?
Speaker 1: Wasn't that a movie that you watched?
Speaker 2: It was the show that I watched.
Speaker 1: There was like a movie. Oh maybe I'm thinking of
Speaker 1: the boys I kissed before. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the same author. So she wrote those books
Speaker 2: and directed those movies, Jenny hann She.
Speaker 3: Just made do a TikTok with some trending sound about
Speaker 3: this is your.
Speaker 2: Best this is your best look, Connie baby.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is your best look, Connie baby.
Speaker 2: No, it's this is your look, Connie baby. Oh god,
Speaker 2: it's such a good show.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, if you're listening to this and you haven't
Speaker 1: seen the Summer I Turn Pretty, what are you doing?
Speaker 1: Finished this episode first, obviously, and then go watch BINJ.
Speaker 2: It'll take you.
Speaker 1: You need to watch six episodes before it gets good.
Speaker 2: I loved it immediately. I think it's cheesy. You guys
Speaker 2: would hate it, but it is so freaking good.
Speaker 1: I was really glad that you could find a show
Speaker 1: that you could appreciate that much. It's great, she says.
Speaker 3: It makes her feel young.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's it. It reminds you of falling in love
Speaker 2: for the first time, having your first crush. I know,
Speaker 2: I'm passionate about this.
Speaker 1: Media. It's good to see you do it.
Speaker 2: It just yeah, it reminds you of being young, being
Speaker 2: fifteen and having your first crush, and then like growing
Speaker 2: into a woman slowly, and you know, it's the summer
Speaker 2: she turned pretty. So it's a summer like boys started
Speaker 2: noticing her and the guy she loved forever started to
Speaker 2: like her back.
Speaker 1: Do you remember the summer you Turn Pretty?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: Maybe eighteen, Jerry, Do you remember the summer you Turn pretty?
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think of like the first time where
Speaker 3: I was like I feel confident about hitting on girls.
Speaker 3: I don't think it was still college in high school. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it was probably you know what, it was probably the
Speaker 3: summer that I started dating my first girlfriend. So that
Speaker 3: was when I was nineteen. I was feeling confident about myself.
Speaker 1: Bloom.
Speaker 3: My friend group like was working out.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: I wasn't in high school anymore, so I still the
Speaker 3: same friends, but I just felt more mature, I guess.
Speaker 3: I guess it's just the as you grow older, you
Speaker 3: start becoming more comfortable with yourself. And that was the
Speaker 3: first summer I remember feeling good, feeling good about me
Speaker 3: with the opposite sex.
Speaker 1: What the hell? Yeah, so this is two thousand and.
Speaker 3: Nine. I think the summer of two thousand and nine
Speaker 3: is the summer that I turned pretty. I think that
Speaker 3: was it, right there, Dean, What about you?
Speaker 1: Mine? I think came into two stages. I think the
Speaker 1: summer I started feeling pretty. I remember I got back
Speaker 1: from I think it was between freshman and sophomo year
Speaker 1: of high school. I got back to school and I
Speaker 1: had hit a growth spurt and I was always a
Speaker 1: little chunky when I was under like a toddler, Not
Speaker 1: a toddler, but like you know, up until I was thirteen,
Speaker 1: I hit a growth spurt, gain like four inches over summer,
Speaker 1: so my my body fat just spread out amongst the height,
Speaker 1: which was good. And I remember this girl that I
Speaker 1: was good friends with told me I looked really skinny,
Speaker 1: and I was like, wow, I've never been told I
Speaker 1: looked skinny before. So that was like the first step.
Speaker 1: And then the second step was when I went to college.
Speaker 1: And in high school, everyone knew about my my testicular mutilation.
Speaker 2: And everyone in high school remember, yeah.
Speaker 1: Well not remembered, but it's like a small town. Everyone
Speaker 1: you know, shares stories. I was too scared to stand
Speaker 1: up for myself and be like, no, it's normal down
Speaker 1: there problem, and so like they would just talk about it,
Speaker 1: I'd be like I would just get clam up and
Speaker 1: get all the nervous. But when I went to college,
Speaker 1: it was like a whole new place because no one
Speaker 1: knew any of that backstory. Not that I affected me
Speaker 1: in any way, but there was like that you know,
Speaker 1: dark cloud.
Speaker 2: Kind of over or maybe nobody remembered or thought about it,
Speaker 2: but you just thought everyone was thinking right, and.
Speaker 1: You're probably so right, like it probably was a bigger
Speaker 1: deal to me than it was to anyone else. But
Speaker 1: I do think that was like a barrier because some
Speaker 1: girls were probably like, oh, that guy, he got stitches
Speaker 1: on his testicles one time, I'm nice going anywhere near him.
Speaker 1: And so when I went to college, no one knew
Speaker 1: that story, and so it was like a whole new man.
Speaker 1: So that was the first summer was two thousand and six,
Speaker 1: and the second summer was twenty ten. Wow. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: love that.
Speaker 2: You guys remember that.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I guess it's maybe more of a turning point
Speaker 1: for men, because it's just we can feel it a
Speaker 1: little bit more because as a girl you're probably getting
Speaker 1: attention from anyone anyways, but as a guy, it's like
Speaker 1: you really have to either be more confident in your
Speaker 1: approach or just look good enough. And guys or maybe
Speaker 1: our later bloomers for that.
Speaker 2: No, I think. I remember I had this crush for
Speaker 2: so long and he never gave me the time of day,
Speaker 2: like ever, never cared about me. And then it wasn't
Speaker 2: until I got off the batch that we met up
Speaker 2: for coffee or something, and that was the first time
Speaker 2: he was like, oh, like, I'll finally give you attention,
Speaker 2: And I was like honestly, I'm not interested, Like you're
Speaker 2: kind of a loser.
Speaker 1: Yeah, screw him. He said that I'll finally give you attention.
Speaker 2: No, but you could see he finally asked me out
Speaker 2: on a date, and I was like, you're stuck in
Speaker 2: the hometown. You never left, Like, I'm good, you want
Speaker 2: to know.
Speaker 1: Twenty I was just talking to my buddy because I
Speaker 1: was back in my hometown last week climbing mountains and
Speaker 1: I was talking to about it, and because he lives
Speaker 1: in the town that we grew up in, still small
Speaker 1: town obviously in Colorado, and I always when I moved
Speaker 1: to Denver and then moved to Los Angeles, I always
Speaker 1: like looked at the people that lived in the town
Speaker 1: and I was like, you never got away, Like that
Speaker 1: stinks for you. You're missing out on so much of
Speaker 1: this world. But now that I'm thirty two, all I
Speaker 1: could possibly want is to move back to my small hometown.
Speaker 1: And I was telling him that I was like, from
Speaker 1: twenty two to twenty eight, I was like happy to
Speaker 1: have gotten out, But now at thirty two, all I
Speaker 1: want to do is get back.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Kind of interesting.
Speaker 2: We'll get back there one day, but not my hometown.
Speaker 2: My hometowns.
Speaker 1: We'll stay far away from Richmond, Frederick, I was going
Speaker 1: to say Frankfurt. I knew that wasn't right, and so
Speaker 1: I just I just I went. I went into panic mode,
Speaker 1: and I said, I said Frederickson. No, I said Richmond, Alexandria,
Speaker 1: somewhere in Virginia. But yeah, one of these days we'll
Speaker 1: move back. But yeah, but.
Speaker 2: Anyways, I don't think I turned pretty until college. Is
Speaker 2: my long story.
Speaker 1: I saw a picture of you as a as a
Speaker 1: cute little kid.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was cute as a kid, and then middle
Speaker 2: school rough, high school rough.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I bet you like everyone is rough in
Speaker 1: middle school.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: You know why it was rough is because in middle
Speaker 2: school or freshman year of high school, I overpucked. I
Speaker 2: was in one of those like magnified mirrors, started plucking
Speaker 2: my eyebrows and then I plucked, so my eyebrow didn't
Speaker 2: start until where my pupil is. So I just had
Speaker 2: a little sliver all throughout high school.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I met you like that was the style
Speaker 1: and everyone else was.
Speaker 2: Doing it was so bad. That's why you'll never see
Speaker 2: a photo of me fro high school.
Speaker 1: I'm saying it looks bad. Now with perspective, but back then,
Speaker 1: if everyone is doing it, then you just looked just
Speaker 1: like everybody.
Speaker 2: Was doing it. I made a mistake. I made a
Speaker 2: huge mistake.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, well, I'm sorry to hear that.
Speaker 3: Who do you think from Bachelor was someone that I
Speaker 3: don't not peaked in high school? But I feel like
Speaker 3: a majority of us have similar stories where we all
Speaker 3: feel that we didn't come into our ow until later
Speaker 3: in life. I'm curious if there's people, uh from I'm
Speaker 3: just trying to think of people that we both know.
Speaker 3: That's why I say Bachelor that were like, oh, those
Speaker 3: that guy loved high school, because I feel like a
Speaker 3: lot of people that I went to high school with
Speaker 3: that quote unquote peaked in high school.
Speaker 1: That were the cool kids that loved high school. Everybody
Speaker 1: wanted a date.
Speaker 3: You know, they're not doing great right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I would say that they that we probably
Speaker 1: don't know the former contestants that peaked in high school
Speaker 1: because we wouldn't really be friends with those types of
Speaker 1: people as ugly as ugly duncles ducklings ourself, you know,
Speaker 1: and maybe they wouldn't have made it very far enough
Speaker 1: to leave the last impression on us. I don't know
Speaker 1: it is if.
Speaker 2: You peaked in high school, like you know, you're going down.
Speaker 1: There's wrong with peaking except in high school? Is there? Actually?
Speaker 1: Can we just say that maybe there is something wrong
Speaker 1: with peaking?
Speaker 2: And I think there is, but there are a few
Speaker 2: that get out of it. I think I was talking
Speaker 2: to Jess Clark, Ben's wife, and I think she said
Speaker 2: she like high school was good for her. So I
Speaker 2: don't know if she like peaked then, but she's still
Speaker 2: going up, so I think she's one of those rare people.
Speaker 1: I mean, high school is good for me, but I hope,
Speaker 1: I hope it was my peak.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so I don't know. I guess, yeah, peaking
Speaker 2: in high school is not good, so maybe she'll like peak.
Speaker 1: I think the only way you can say someone peaked
Speaker 1: at Sorry, Jared, I'll let you get to that and said,
Speaker 1: oh go gogle. I think the only way you can
Speaker 1: say you peaked in high school is now that we're thirty,
Speaker 1: to be like, oh, yeah, I'm less cool now than
Speaker 1: I was in high school.
Speaker 2: That was the best I would ever all ever be.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that's the bad thing because obviously you want
Speaker 1: to continue to rise in a linear fashion.
Speaker 2: But like typically people that just had a great high
Speaker 2: school experience, where the popular people are the ones that
Speaker 2: peaked and aren't doing great now, is what we're saying,
Speaker 2: right m hm yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah sure, fear of what were you going to say?
Speaker 3: Well, I was gonna say for me peaking a high school?
Speaker 3: Like when I think of the definition of that, it's
Speaker 3: like the kid and Dean can probably relate to this, Kaitlin.
Speaker 3: Not when you're walking down the hallway and wow, high
Speaker 3: school is so stupid. I can't believe gonna say this
Speaker 3: out loud, but there are certain guys that you wanted
Speaker 3: to give not a high five too, but like dap up,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like you'd walk past. It
Speaker 3: wouldn't be like a full like like that, but it's
Speaker 3: literally just like a you know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3: I wish I could put it was just low Dina
Speaker 3: has no idea, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Well, you never did that. I think my high school
Speaker 1: experience was different. Small school, Like there there was a
Speaker 1: popular crowd, but it was like twenty of us and
Speaker 1: then there wasn't that much of a separation between them
Speaker 1: and then the next group. But like whether it's not
Speaker 1: next group down. But like the artsy kids and the jocks,
Speaker 1: there wasn't really much of a chasm between the two
Speaker 1: of them. You know, there was a gap in our school.
Speaker 3: And so my definition of someone who peaked in high
Speaker 3: school is like when you see that kid walking by.
Speaker 3: And because I was always on the cusp, I was
Speaker 3: never cool, but I was never like the center of
Speaker 3: attention with bullied. So I'd be bullied, but then also
Speaker 3: I'd play sports, so I would know all the jocks,
Speaker 3: but I'd be friends with the artsy kids too, So
Speaker 3: I was kind of like I never really had like
Speaker 3: a core group. I was just I kind of like
Speaker 3: floated by. I feel like the story of my life
Speaker 3: just like flowing by.
Speaker 1: That's tough. That's a tough place to be because you
Speaker 1: feel like you don't fit in anywhere. Then uh yeah.
Speaker 3: Actually, one of my buddies who went through a similar experience,
Speaker 3: said he always regret regrets that because he feels like
Speaker 3: he never had close friends in high school because he
Speaker 3: was always friendly with everybody, but he would never have
Speaker 3: really close friendships like that, like you know that core,
Speaker 3: like those two or three people where you're like, we're
Speaker 3: going through this experience together, and I guess I kind
Speaker 3: of had the same thing, but it's never really bothered
Speaker 3: me anyway. The definition of the kid that peaked in
Speaker 3: high school, I can't believe this is like my experience
Speaker 3: and not an and in either one of yours. When
Speaker 3: he's walking the other way, you hope that he puts
Speaker 3: his hand out so you're like, so he's like, what's up,
Speaker 3: and then you just dap up for a second and
Speaker 3: then you're cool by association.
Speaker 2: I can relate to that. I remember, like the coolest
Speaker 2: girl in our high school, like everyone was obsessed with her,
Speaker 2: Taylor Bailey.
Speaker 3: What's Taylor Bailey doing now?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I was just thinking that I don't
Speaker 2: know what she's doing.
Speaker 3: Because we're calling her out first and last night.
Speaker 2: No, she's she's I mean, that's a I feel like
Speaker 2: there's a lot of Taylor Bailey's in the world. But
Speaker 2: she was the coolest person in high school, coolest ever
Speaker 2: and very nice. I like wanted to be her so
Speaker 2: bad and so if she were to walk by me
Speaker 2: in the hallway and be like hey, Caylen, it would
Speaker 2: have like I would have been shocked and amazed and like, oh,
Speaker 2: I'm pretty cool. Taylor Bailey knows me.
Speaker 1: See, maybe that's where we're draw this disconnects because I
Speaker 1: think maybe that I was that person. I was Taylor Bailey,
Speaker 1: but like it wasn't just me. There wasn't one Taylor
Speaker 1: Bailey in our school. There was ten of us. And
Speaker 1: maybe I'm just imagining this, like maybe I think that
Speaker 1: we were away cooler than we actually were. Thought.
Speaker 2: You said you weren't cool, and I I was.
Speaker 1: All of my friends were like the best athletes and
Speaker 1: the best students.
Speaker 2: And that's why because me and Jared are on the same.
Speaker 1: School in high school.
Speaker 2: But that's the things I don't know what you're saying,
Speaker 2: you peaked in high school.
Speaker 1: No, that's what I'm trying to avoid saying. As I
Speaker 1: beaked in high school. I still think my peak is
Speaker 1: ahead of me at this point. But my point is,
Speaker 1: and again, it has to just be the size of
Speaker 1: the school. I graduated with ninety two kids in my class,
Speaker 1: and you, I'm sure had hundreds, and Jared, I'm sure
Speaker 1: you had way more than that too. It's just like
Speaker 1: when a school is that small, there really isn't. There
Speaker 1: isn't a Taylor Bailey, and so because of that, there's
Speaker 1: like there's half of the school is a Taylor Bailey.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean, it's a Taylor Bailey.
Speaker 3: I'm just using that as like a point of reference,
Speaker 3: like the coolest kid in school. I think the name
Speaker 3: of this podcast should be Taylor.
Speaker 1: Half of us were Taylor Bailey's and so I just
Speaker 1: don't There was never a kid where I walked out.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I hope that guy gives me
Speaker 1: a high five right now, you know, Yeah, because like
Speaker 1: we were, we were the top of the food chain,
Speaker 1: but all of us were the top of the food chain.
Speaker 1: It was a school full of great way sharks. Interesting
Speaker 1: in a good way. I'm saying that positively too. Dude.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to find a high school photo of you
Speaker 3: right now, Dean, Oh.
Speaker 1: I'll send you a photo. I'm trying to look at
Speaker 1: Kaylen's friend list on Facebook for a Taylor Taylor. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't even even know if we were cool. I
Speaker 2: was cool enough to be her friend on Facebook.
Speaker 1: There's a bunch of tailors, but no Taylor Bailey's.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Like I said, I really wanted to be her friend.
Speaker 2: But also we were like two or three grades apart.
Speaker 2: So I was just a measly little freshman.
Speaker 1: And also, I say all this as far as our
Speaker 1: school goes. But when I went to college and I
Speaker 1: started meeting people that were actually like the Taylor Baileys
Speaker 1: of their big school.
Speaker 2: Founder on Facebook, she's doing great. She still looks beautiful. Wow,
Speaker 2: I can't believe she didn't peak in high school.
Speaker 1: She's still going That's impressive. When I went to college
Speaker 1: and I started meeting people that went to big schools
Speaker 1: that were actually the popular kids, I was like, Oh,
Speaker 1: our experiences were way different because you were like royalty basically,
Speaker 1: which we didn't have that at our school.
Speaker 3: I was looking for old photos, and obviously I couldn't
Speaker 3: really find one, but I found this gem. Look at
Speaker 3: these two young kids in love.
Speaker 2: Oh best day, I heard.
Speaker 1: I hate that picture so much?
Speaker 3: Why do you hate this picture?
Speaker 1: You look so good? I just look greasy and gross.
Speaker 3: You guys both look great? What are you out of
Speaker 3: your mind? You think you look bad?
Speaker 1: There?
Speaker 2: Yeah, he'll never be happy with his appearance, which blows
Speaker 2: my mind because he's the most handsome person ever.
Speaker 3: Caitlyn, what's your favorite Dean look? I feel like he's
Speaker 3: had many.
Speaker 2: I really liked that one. Coming down to the beach
Speaker 2: was a really good one. We were talking about hair
Speaker 2: length the other day and I was like, that's a
Speaker 2: perfect length for the wedding, and I just wanted to
Speaker 2: bring that up again because remember on the podcast three
Speaker 2: weeks ago, Dean said, I told Kaylin she'd do whatever
Speaker 2: I do, whatever she wants in terms of my hair,
Speaker 2: m M. And then I told him last week. I
Speaker 2: was like, I want you to cut it, and he
Speaker 2: said no, and he doesn't remember saying that on the podcast.
Speaker 2: I don't do whatever.
Speaker 1: I want to have the freedom to do what I
Speaker 1: want to do.
Speaker 2: So you were lying last week.
Speaker 3: That is in complete contrast to what you were saying
Speaker 3: three weeks ago.
Speaker 1: It is on record M the tape. I don't disagree
Speaker 1: with you, guys, but I just like, you know, I
Speaker 1: am so anti authority and anti being told what to
Speaker 1: do that I just want lying. I want to have
Speaker 1: the choice. He's lying, he's gonna cut his hair. He's
Speaker 1: I just sent this in our group chat to picture
Speaker 1: of me from high school. I look pretty cute in
Speaker 1: that picture. I think I just wanted to share it
Speaker 1: with you guys. There's nothing in our is this the summer.
Speaker 1: You turn pretty high message.
Speaker 3: Oh you're hot.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you I was pretty cute.
Speaker 3: Of course you were the cool kid in high school,
Speaker 3: you son of a Yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Would have had a big crush on you in high school.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna send this other one too. That's
Speaker 1: actually college.
Speaker 3: This is he's the kid walking down the hallway that
Speaker 3: I'm hoping.
Speaker 2: This is so funny. He's like, I'll show more photos
Speaker 2: of me when I was hot.
Speaker 1: Well, just you know, just peeking in high school. That's
Speaker 1: me giving a speech at our graduation. Gave a speech
Speaker 1: at my graduation. That's a pretty that's a cool kid
Speaker 1: thing to do, cool kid energy.
Speaker 2: Why did you do that? Were you smart or something?
Speaker 1: I was anymore? Yeah, why did you give a speech
Speaker 1: at your graduation? One of my friends, so I talked
Speaker 1: about on this podcast before, died when we were little
Speaker 1: and he was my best friend. He would have been
Speaker 1: graduating with us, but he did not, so obviously I
Speaker 1: was giving a speech on his behalf.
Speaker 2: That's sweet.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's that's a little bit about me peaking
Speaker 1: in high school.
Speaker 2: Well that was a pretty fun conversation. Look at what
Speaker 2: the semurai turn pretty did for us.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wish I had to show that I was
Speaker 1: into like that.
Speaker 2: I gotta say. I just can't get enough. And I'm
Speaker 2: so excited to talk to Ashley about this at the
Speaker 2: wedding because it's it becomes an obsession, it really does.
Speaker 3: Man. Now you're just sending us all photos. My phone
Speaker 3: is getting blown up with Deanungler high school photos.
Speaker 1: Look at this?
Speaker 3: Where are you? How do you find these that.
Speaker 1: Are on my Facebook from two thousand and eight.
Speaker 3: Oh see, so many of my good photos are on
Speaker 3: MySpace and I can't access that MySpace.
Speaker 1: Yeah, never had a mind. It's lucky to hear to
Speaker 1: rank my friends.
Speaker 2: What a cute.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I see. I maybe I did peak in high
Speaker 1: school because I was kind of hot back then. Hope.
Speaker 1: There he is.
Speaker 2: My wife Peter is so funny to me.
Speaker 1: Thanks, thanks, see, but you know that good looking guy
Speaker 1: tan muscular. I guess I was able to get some
Speaker 1: dates and stuff, but it was still it was a
Speaker 1: bit of an obstacle to overcome in my life.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you peaked in high school. It's been so cute.
Speaker 2: You're like, I'm shy.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, at me? You said I peaked in
Speaker 1: high school? That's not very nice.
Speaker 2: I'm just kidding totally.
Speaker 3: She's still marrying you, so that's what's on.
Speaker 2: You're obviously getting hotter every year.
Speaker 1: You got it.
Speaker 2: You just need more compliments.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, Jared, what are you guys gonna do
Speaker 1: with Dawson when you come to our wedding?
Speaker 3: So we are dropping him down in Virginia. So Ashley
Speaker 3: flies out this weekend because she has a baby shower
Speaker 3: to go to on Sunday, and then I'll go to
Speaker 3: Virginia next week because I have to work. And then
Speaker 3: we fly out to Denver or Colorado, excuse me, on Thursday, Thursday, Thursday.
Speaker 2: Thursday, and then you're driving to Aspen.
Speaker 3: So then we're driving to Aspen. We're just we're debating
Speaker 3: whether we stay no, no, no, excuse me. We're flying into Aspen.
Speaker 3: So we fly from Virginia, we have a layover, We're
Speaker 3: flying into Aspen, and then we drive to the resort.
Speaker 1: After that.
Speaker 3: We're thinking we're gonna stay in like the city Aspen
Speaker 3: on Thursday night and then go to your location on Friday.
Speaker 3: Nice because we get into like nine Yeah, We're like
Speaker 3: we could drive and get the rental car. We just
Speaker 3: get a hotel and just go to sleep and then
Speaker 3: wake up and do it tomorrow because I don't know
Speaker 3: when Ben and Jess are going there. We've been talking
Speaker 3: to them trying to like meet up and figure out
Speaker 3: exactly when they're gonna be there.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is like an hour from the Aspen airport
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be late. It's gonna be two. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be eleven. If you land at nine Colorado time,
Speaker 1: it's eleven Rhode Island time, so it would be a
Speaker 1: little too late. I do have a question.
Speaker 3: Because this is like not a spoiler of where it is,
Speaker 3: but it's very retreaty mm hmm. It says that we
Speaker 3: are sharing a bathroom with someone.
Speaker 2: Uh you shouldn't be no ah woo.
Speaker 3: Great news because because when you sign off the location,
Speaker 3: it says it's a shared bathroom, and Ashley were.
Speaker 2: Like, uh, no, I definitely put you guys in one
Speaker 2: that doesn't. There are some that do.
Speaker 1: There's like five or six couples that we have given
Speaker 1: the th the wolves that know that are giving the
Speaker 1: luxury of having their own bathroom because there's like twelve
Speaker 1: or thirteen cabins or something, and only five of them
Speaker 1: are single occupant, like single bedroom, one bath.
Speaker 3: It's so interesting how sharing a bathroom could just be
Speaker 3: different between guys and girls, because as a girl it's
Speaker 3: like you have to get ready and do all that.
Speaker 3: As a guy, I'm like, well, I'm going to blow
Speaker 3: this thing up at least twice a day, and I
Speaker 3: don't want somebody else's significant other. Because I texted Ben
Speaker 3: and we texted Bed and Jess, We're like, do you
Speaker 3: know if we shared a bathroom with you guys, because
Speaker 3: at least like I would feel comfortable talking to Jests
Speaker 3: and be like, hey, Jess, like, you know, give me
Speaker 3: a little time here.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I just pulled up the Google sheet with everyone's
Speaker 2: room assignments and it says Jared and Ashley private restroom
Speaker 2: across hall. So it's like you have your own. It's
Speaker 2: like a weird setup.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's fine, You've got your fine.
Speaker 3: No, that's great, bios baby perfect.
Speaker 1: So you feel free to blow out the bathroom as
Speaker 1: much as you want. There's a lot of a lot
Speaker 1: of forests land around too, so if you really needed
Speaker 1: to blow something up, you can just go walk out
Speaker 1: like a quarter mile into the forest and do your
Speaker 1: business out there.
Speaker 2: With Alice. We just bought Alistair a air tag collar
Speaker 2: just so he can roam free the whole weekend, and
Speaker 2: if we lose them, we can just ping him.
Speaker 3: Are you nervous about Alistair biting anybody?
Speaker 2: We're just going to tell everyone not to touch him.
Speaker 2: If you don't look into his eyes, if he don't
Speaker 2: pet him, he won't bother you. But if you try
Speaker 2: to pet him and try to befriend him, that's when
Speaker 2: he gets upset.
Speaker 1: He doesn't want friends. No, he's the cool kid. Walk
Speaker 1: down the hall. He try to ab him up, he'll snap,
Speaker 1: doesn't then, well, yeah, it does not end well.
Speaker 2: But he doesn't have teeth, So if he bites you know,
Speaker 2: it's fine.
Speaker 1: And you got him a tuxedo.
Speaker 2: Yes, his tux is so cute. He's gonna be our
Speaker 2: ring bear.
Speaker 1: He's going to be a bear.
Speaker 3: Are you going to pay any tribute to Pappy?
Speaker 1: Oh? We should?
Speaker 2: No, I thought about it, but I don't know.
Speaker 1: How we could release a butterfly.
Speaker 2: Capture a butterfly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you find one, we should capture it and really
Speaker 1: it on the altar because Pappy people means butterfly.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I just feel like you guys love Pappy way more
Speaker 3: than you love Alistair.
Speaker 1: Like out there corporate Caleb loves Pappy more than Alistair.
Speaker 2: Dean is obsessed with Alistair, like I've never seen him
Speaker 2: obsessed with anything.
Speaker 1: Kaln's dog, Alistair is my dog, yeah for sure. But
Speaker 1: that's not to say that Alison doesn't love Kalen, because
Speaker 1: he definitely does. I just love Alistair's spunkiness, and he's
Speaker 1: he's predictable, dedictable, and he's just got a little bit
Speaker 1: of edge to him and he's just got a more
Speaker 1: Pappy was great. I love Pappy to death and I
Speaker 1: will remember him so fondly for the rest of the time.
Speaker 1: But he didn't have as much of a personality Alistair has.
Speaker 2: Baby Babby was also cool. Babby was like could it
Speaker 2: be bothered? You know, He's like, oh you're here, didn't
Speaker 2: care Alistair. Yeah, he has a personality for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I like that about it.
Speaker 3: So Pappy was the guy walking down to high school
Speaker 3: that I was hoping wouldap me up wearing like sunglasses.
Speaker 1: Abby was very cool and he probably wouldn't dab you up,
Speaker 1: but only because he was like so locked in his
Speaker 1: own world and he wasn't paying attention to anything else,
Speaker 1: because it's just how kind of a cool guy he is,
Speaker 1: So he would he would probably.
Speaker 3: And Alistairs ed, So Alistair was the guy who would
Speaker 3: be like maybe artsy and like in the like in the.
Speaker 2: Corner of a w wiritsy moody exactly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you'd be like, hey, how's it going. Doesn't answer, well,
Speaker 3: we're all going to die someday, Like God, what's wrong
Speaker 3: with that kid?
Speaker 1: But he's got a point though, shoot. Yeah, so oh,
Speaker 1: I just wanted to update everyone too. I'm on my
Speaker 1: last mountain to climb. Caitlin's gonna climb it with me
Speaker 1: on the day before the wedding. Yep, I got fifty
Speaker 1: six and only two left. But if they're they're done
Speaker 1: in the same days. The day before the wedding.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Thursday, time to do that.
Speaker 2: And Wednesday before and we leave Thursday, the day.
Speaker 1: Before the festivities began, got it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know how you guys are going to
Speaker 3: record a podcast. I got news for you. Yeah, well,
Speaker 3: I think you'd be so sidetracked.
Speaker 1: But the iHeart Radio Music Festival is that weekend as well,
Speaker 1: so maybe a little tricky, but we'll see. But that
Speaker 1: that to be said.
Speaker 2: He did it to all the naysayers. He did it.
Speaker 1: I haven't done it yet, but yes, I am going
Speaker 1: to do it, which is great because even if we
Speaker 1: don't do it Wednesday, like let's say there's a storm
Speaker 1: or something, I'll just do it Thursday morning. No.
Speaker 2: Yes, no.
Speaker 1: And there's one on the way between Denver and Aspen
Speaker 1: that I wanted you to to come up on top
Speaker 1: of two, so maybe we can get you on one
Speaker 1: of those. It's very easy. Basically you can drive to
Speaker 1: the top before you can drive to the top of it.
Speaker 2: It's it's so easy. It wasn't the worst hike.
Speaker 1: It You are alive and you're telling the story, and
Speaker 1: so obviously it was easy enough to be able to survive.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, well, congrats, you've done great.
Speaker 1: I've done great.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Are you so excited for me to be done? I
Speaker 1: would not correlate survival with h level of difficulty. I
Speaker 1: think as long as you're alive. Are you happy that
Speaker 1: I'm done?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I'm so happy. I hate these mountains
Speaker 2: have caused me so much anxiety? Why so over them?
Speaker 1: Wow?
Speaker 2: So ready for them to be done?
Speaker 1: How they cause you anxiety.
Speaker 2: Because you're hiking, so it's dangerous. You post these videos
Speaker 2: where you're like slipping off and about to die. That
Speaker 2: was one time, Okay, it was enough to nearly give
Speaker 2: me a heart attack.
Speaker 1: That was like an anecdotal, like haha, oop I slipped.
Speaker 2: Then you wake up late and start hiking late, and
Speaker 2: then you do ten miles, so you're hiking until like midnight.
Speaker 1: What did I say this morning?
Speaker 2: Don't exaggerate Kaalen is.
Speaker 1: Locked into this space where she'll exaggerate facts to prove.
Speaker 2: Her point more and my point is proven.
Speaker 1: But you're developing like a girl who cried wolf syndrome,
Speaker 1: because now every time say something, I'm like, okay, subtract
Speaker 1: three hours from there.
Speaker 2: Okay, you liked till nine pm. It's just dangerous and
Speaker 2: it's been freaking me out. So I'm happy it's over
Speaker 2: and I'm happy you accomplished your goal.
Speaker 1: Thank you, And I'm happy you don't have to be
Speaker 1: stressed out about this anymore.
Speaker 2: Me too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's great. I lost twenty pounds, just like I
Speaker 1: had hoped. Yeah, I think ten more could be good.
Speaker 1: But no, I think I need to do some crunches
Speaker 1: or something before the wedding. But it's just I'm slim,
Speaker 1: but I don't have any muscle mass now, which is
Speaker 1: kind of maybe an issue. But yeah, two left, and
Speaker 1: I'm doing them the day before the festivities kick off
Speaker 1: with my brother. I think I've already talked about this
Speaker 1: on the podcast. But the bells, the bells we're doing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the last two mountains are called the bells, and we're
Speaker 1: chaining here cool to bell and we're going to be bells.
Speaker 1: That's pretty cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is pretty cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's cool. And then yeah, there's one
Speaker 1: on the way that I want you to come up
Speaker 1: to the top of with me to that that I've
Speaker 1: already done obviously, but it's very easy to do, and
Speaker 1: so you can get up there and see what it's
Speaker 1: like to breathe that air at fourteen thousand feet.
Speaker 2: I've had altitude sickness before and I don't want to
Speaker 2: get it again.
Speaker 1: We can get you some diamoxs. You'll be fine. What
Speaker 1: the heck's that altitude sickness medication?
Speaker 2: I wasn't given that when I had altitudes s.
Speaker 1: When did you get altitude sickness?
Speaker 2: Oh? While we were filming The Bachelor at Loveland at Loveland,
Speaker 2: I'm not kidding. We went to the High Speak at Loveland,
Speaker 2: came down Loveland. In Loveland, we started snowboarding. Colton quote
Speaker 2: unquote taught me how to snowboard. Almost died because I
Speaker 2: had never done it in my life.
Speaker 1: And then it's hard for someone that doesn't know how
Speaker 1: to snowboard to teach someone how to snowboard.
Speaker 2: I was like, can I get a real instructor? This
Speaker 2: is not safe, and they took me down a scary mountain.
Speaker 2: I took my helmet off and then it was like
Speaker 2: the most excruciating, immediate migraine and nausea, and they took
Speaker 2: me to the hotel and I was like, honestly, I
Speaker 2: think we just need to film the date here because
Speaker 2: I cannot get out of bed. And they gave me
Speaker 2: advil and I just like hugged the toilet for a while.
Speaker 2: Felt better, and then we got a private concert at
Speaker 2: Red Rock, so I'm happy I went nice.
Speaker 1: Can I say something You think I'm being dramatic, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't think you're being dramatic at all. Maybe a
Speaker 1: little bit. But when we first started dating, you had
Speaker 1: an issue with not drinking enough water, and one of
Speaker 1: the biggest things that induces migraines and an altitude sickness
Speaker 1: is being dehydrated.
Speaker 2: And we were drinking a lot on the Bachelor, so.
Speaker 1: That I think. I think if you were to go
Speaker 1: into a clearhead and not drunk, and I wasn't drunk
Speaker 1: and I.
Speaker 2: Had a couple of glasses of champagne and.
Speaker 1: Well hydrated, I think you'd be perfectly fine. Yeah. Did
Speaker 1: you remember that when you first started dating, you'd never
Speaker 1: drink any water?
Speaker 2: You say that all the time I drank water. I
Speaker 2: just didn't drink a lot.
Speaker 1: You'd have like a cup of water, though.
Speaker 2: Your memory of it is so prong.
Speaker 1: Oh, now I'm exaggerating to prove it for it. Well, well,
Speaker 1: this is what we're gonna do. We're you're gonna get
Speaker 1: you some diamonds. We're gonna chug a gallon of water
Speaker 1: and it's a five minute hike and it'll be great.
Speaker 2: We'll see.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's not the answer.
Speaker 3: I was hoping for any final things of the wedding before,
Speaker 3: like other things that are stressing you.
Speaker 2: Out right now, Dean, anything.
Speaker 1: Just I mean, the stress of the wedding makes Kaylen stressed,
Speaker 1: and Kaylen stressed makes me stressed.
Speaker 2: I'm not really stressed. They are like little things here
Speaker 2: and there.
Speaker 1: You're stressed.
Speaker 2: The venue has been stressing me out, yeah, just the
Speaker 2: owners of it's just been really difficult. And on the rundown,
Speaker 2: it asks if you know we're going to be relieved
Speaker 2: when it's over, happy, sad, whatever, I'm going to be
Speaker 2: very excited to never have to deal with them again.
Speaker 1: It's so funny because oh them, the venue specifically. Yes, well,
Speaker 1: like a week ago you were talking about how you
Speaker 1: wanted to start a wedding planning business.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, I'm talking to the venue. The venue
Speaker 2: has been really difficult, so that has been stressing me out.
Speaker 2: It's like random things here and there that it's just
Speaker 2: been super frustrating. The only other thing is that my

Speaker 2: Why wouldn't you strip it?

Speaker 1: kaelin Yeah is cutting the buzz. It is the best.
Speaker 1: It's the best time of year.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: Can we we can talk about the season that it
Speaker 1: excited for fault? Yeah, I'm not necessarily excited for fall
Speaker 1: because I love summer so so much, but like, it
Speaker 1: is a fun time of the year because football is
Speaker 1: on the season is changing. It's like you're used to
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty degree heat. But now you're getting
Speaker 1: like these eight degree days that are like perfect. You
Speaker 1: get your you get your pumpkin spice lattes at the
Speaker 1: coffee shop. Yah. Cells, Yeah, there's a lot. There's a
Speaker 1: lot to love about autumn, and you know, I appreciate it.

Speaker 2: I watch? I think I can follow along pretty well,
Speaker 2: but mostly I'm just hanging out, not really paying attention
Speaker 2: too much.
Speaker 1: Oh I meant to say this too, So I heked
Speaker 1: at the mount the second and last mountain in Aspen
Speaker 1: last what would it be on Tuesday? On Monday today
Speaker 1: thursdays so three days ago, and it was the first
Speaker 1: snow of the season up there. And the leaves haven't
Speaker 1: started changing yet. But I do think the cold weather
Speaker 1: coming in is going to expedite the leaves changing colors.
Speaker 1: And our venue, can we at least say like this
Speaker 1: setting for the venue?
Speaker 2: Maybe not?
Speaker 1: It's in like a no, well it's very pretty. It's in.
Speaker 1: It's in, it's around a bunch of trees.
Speaker 2: Sure, that's fine.
Speaker 1: It's in an aspen grove, and the aspen groves are
Speaker 1: green in the summer, but there's like a two week
Speaker 1: window in Colorado where they turn this beautiful yellow color.
Speaker 1: And so I'm optimistic that we'll get some nice yellow
Speaker 1: color in the aspens because of the snow that because
Speaker 1: of the snow that they're getting right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's up? Yeah, But next week I'm excited we
Speaker 2: can share everything.
Speaker 1: I think we could share it all right now, but
Speaker 1: I'll honor your wishes and keep it all hush hush.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But then again, next week is going to come around
Speaker 1: and we're gonna be like, oh, well, I feel like
Speaker 1: we already talked about all this.
Speaker 2: It'll be like a two minute conversation, just.
Speaker 1: How that always goes.
Speaker 3: I feel like, because it hasn't happened yet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know that's tough.
Speaker 3: Did you finalize your honeymoon quickly?
Speaker 2: Still working on it. It's really hard logistically South Africa,
Speaker 2: because so there's a hotel we want to stay in Botswana,
Speaker 2: and then it's North Botswana, and then there's another hotel
Speaker 2: in Namibia. I think I'm pronouncing that right. And it's
Speaker 2: like an eighteen and a half hour drive and I
Speaker 2: don't know the airport, so I just want to stay
Speaker 2: put for like a week or two.
Speaker 1: I am planning a mini moon for us, and I'll
Speaker 1: just say where we're going because you're gonna frash. Please,
Speaker 1: you're gonna find out anyways.
Speaker 3: Oh really, this is breaking news. We're going to find
Speaker 3: out where you guys are breaking news Madeira.
Speaker 2: I kept thinking you're about to say Maltese.
Speaker 1: No, No, I can't afford tickets to the Maldis. Like,
Speaker 1: that's mini We're going to Madeira.
Speaker 2: What the heck? Where is that?
Speaker 1: Exactly? That's great that you don't know. It's a beautiful

Speaker 1: Off the coast of Portugal?
Speaker 3: No way?
Speaker 2: Oh that's amazing. I've always wanted to go to Portugal.
Speaker 1: Well it's not Portugal proper, it's Madeira.
Speaker 2: That's awesome.
Speaker 1: It's like Hawaii is to the US what Madeira is
Speaker 1: to the to Europe.

Speaker 2: crazy and weird, obscure. This is great. I'm pumped.
Speaker 1: There's so many questions. Hey. Yeah, and it's nice because
Speaker 1: there is direct flights from JFK because typically you'd have
Speaker 1: to fly we'd fly Vegas to JFK to London or
Speaker 1: to somewhere in Portugal Lisbon, I guess, and then to Madeira.
Speaker 1: But we can fly from JFK to Madeira, which cuts
Speaker 1: off like twelve hours of flying.
Speaker 2: Amazing. That's a sick mini moon. It's like a honeymoon.
Speaker 1: Well, you're going to play in South Africa, so I
Speaker 1: figured out how playing this.

Speaker 2: tit for tit you know, yeah, that's not the expression.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's the plan. We I haven't booked anything yet,
Speaker 1: but I've been looking at flights and trying to plan
Speaker 1: it all. And we're going to go and I think
Speaker 1: we can bring alistair. It should be great. M that's crazy.

Speaker 1: do it for this week's episode. Uh, this setup of
Speaker 1: us sitting across from each other.

Speaker 1: You just talked a lot more in this set.
Speaker 2: I'm becoming more comfortable as a podcast.
Speaker 1: Of course, taking your time, and you're great, but I
Speaker 1: feel like this kind of helped you because instead of
Speaker 1: conversation to the camera, you're talking to me.
