40
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:35,080

00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: Okay?

47
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 4: None of us ever has enough time with the league,

48
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 4: as you know, that's the way they format the show,

49
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:51,919
Speaker 4: which is fine.

50
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 5: But the times I did spend with him were excellent.

51
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 4: We had great conversations which America never saw because it

52
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 4: was a one hour show forty four minutes without commercials,

53
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 4: so it was very limited. But boy did we have

54
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 4: some good conversations. I'm sure he did with other women

55
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 4: as well.

56
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 3: Sure, yeah, yeah, it was great.

57
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: Let's go back to before you got on, so there's

58
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: always a backstory on They told me that I should

59
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: definitely apply, or they told me you're crazy, you shouldn't

60
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: do that. I want to hear both sides. I want

61
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: to say, who was your biggest advocate? Was it was

62
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: it family? Was it friends telling you you got to

63
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: go and do this? Sodre you would be perfect?

64
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 5: And as a matter of fact, no one really. I

65
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 5: applied with that.

66
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 3: Well, good for you.

67
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 4: When I applied, I did call my oldest daughter and

68
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 4: she helped me do some wordsmithing on the application. But

69
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 4: I didn't tell anyone, maybe for fear that they wouldn't

70
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 4: accept me. But here's the thing. After I applied, send

71
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 4: it in, printed it out, send it in, I.

72
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 5: Totally forgot about it.

73
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 4: But you know then I didn't hear from anyone for

74
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 4: three months and so and life just went on.

75
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: Was there anybody though that that when you announced it?

76
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: He said, I'm going to go and do this crazy thing.

77
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: Did anybody say, ge't do you know you're going to

78
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: get hurt or or don't do it to protect you?

79
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 4: No, because you know what, I followed the rules they said,

80
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 4: don't tell anyone except the people who are going to

81
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,160

Speaker 1: might have had thinking about it. What do I want

161
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: to do? Do I want to do this? Do I

162
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: want to put myself out there? Do I potentially embarrass myself?

163
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: Potentially have this amazing experience? All that kind of introspective

164
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: I think strengthens your resolve and probably makes that experience

165
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: that much better because you're like, no, this is my decision.

166
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: I'm doing this. Nobody convinced me except for your boss.

167
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: But I think that's that's a valuable process, you know,

168
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: to go one thousand.

169
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 6: I think you know for me that the difficult part

170
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 6: is I work and live in an environment that's so

171
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 6: factual that you come into this environment. Now you have

172
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 6: to be vulnerable, you have to be open, you have

173
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 6: to put yourself out there, and then all of that

174
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 6: goes with this unassuredness that you have because you can't

175
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 6: control the outcome, right, And I live in an environment

176
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 6: where I can control or predict the outcome and this

177
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 6: is this is a bad So I think that for

178
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 6: me was my decision.

179
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: You know, I think I've heard the word vulnerable more

180
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 1: in the last two days in talking and talking to this,

181
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: to this this crew, and and you know, also what

182
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 1: we talked about is confidence. And I think that this

183
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 1: is the most confident group of people that have been

184
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: on the Bachelor because life experience, because you've done it,

185
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: You've been there, and you you know, like, you know

186
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: what you you know what you want and if.

187
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 5: And what do you have to lose?

188
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 7: What do you yeah, what do you have.

189
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 5: To lose at our age?

190
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: Right? Yeah? But what do you have to gain? Everything?

191
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: You know? Like and if if it if it doesn't

192
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: work out. You've made amazing friends. You've been able to,

193
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: you know, ask yourself a bunch of questions, sit alone

194
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: in your thoughts, and really I think helped shape what

195
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: the next chapter is going to be, whether it's with

196
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: that bachelor, bachelorette, or if it's just you know, your

197
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: next chapter.

198
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 3: Overall. I have to tell you guys.

199
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 2: In my toast to welcome everyone last night, I said,

200
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 2: you know, the first time I did this event, I

201
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 2: was the youngest person here and now Andre and I

202
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 2: are the whipper snappers, right, But I will say this,

203
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 2: Uh we we talked about this last night Amy Sugarman

204
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 2: and our team and we're like, we're doing all gold

205
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 2: and all the time because the you guys.

206
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 3: Come in and like Andrew said, everybody's vulnerable.

207
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 2: Everybody's that's like you said earlier in an interview, like

208
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 2: the Bravado's down. The confidence is up and you're dealing

209
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 2: with real people who are sharing real emotions.

210
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: It's amazing, right, And it's not provided. It's earned confidence.

211
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: It's from you know, it's you know, it's you know,

212
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: the younger you know has a different experience because they're

213
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: kind of bright eyed, bushy tailed, you know, optimistic, you

214
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: know what can happen. They want you to think that

215
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: they're yeah, and uh, you know. Conversely, you know, you

216
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: have this kind of life of experience that you know

217
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: that that gives you a different perspective, which I think

218
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: is so refreshing and very honest and very authentic.

219
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 3: Earned confidence is what you said.

220
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 7: I think if I can just I don't disagree.

221
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 6: Role ceremonies, group dates, one on one, the whole environment

222
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 6: of the experience, it takes your at least for me,

223
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 6: it takes your My confidence was very cyclical among all

224
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 6: the men.

225
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 1: It was just me.

226
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 6: And one of the things that was gonna about my

227
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 6: group of men was that we all instilled confidence in

228
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 6: each other.

229
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: You know.

230
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 6: If I was down, like see man, I'm look at

231
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 6: you bro this Yeah yeah, but I didn't get a

232
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 6: group they had no more about that, but look at this, this.

233
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: This sure sure, and it was just that's totally different

234
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: than the young men.

235
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

236
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: So I think in the younger, you know, version of

237
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: The Bachelor, everyone's oh, you're down, I'm gonna I'm gonna

238
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: push you down.

239
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 2: You know.

240
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: You know I'm gonna, I'm gonna. I'm gonna. You know,

241
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: I want you to feel insecure, I want you to

242
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: feel anxious.

243
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're preying on it because it raises.

244
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: You up in comparison, that's upposed raising up the other guys.

245
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 2: The reason why I loved uh the casting both for

246
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 2: Gary season and Jones season. And I've said this a

247
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 2: bunch just because it was it wasn't that stunt casting

248
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 2: that The Bachelor has sometimes been known to do, right

249
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 2: when they throw somebody in who they know is just

250
00:09:59,160 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 2: gonna be a thorn and.

251
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 3: Every side or whatever.

252
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 2: It was really good and it was age appropriate as well. Right,

253
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 2: we didn't have, you know, a bunch of people in

254
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 2: this age segment and then we throw in a thirty

255
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 2: five year old Is it randomly just stir up the

256
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 2: SoC faces?

257
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 3: Exactly. Yeah, we didn't have that.

258
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 2: And the thing I loved too, especially about Jones season

259
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,319
Speaker 2: with the guys, well actually in Gary season with the

260
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 2: ladies as well, was it reminded me of my first

261
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 2: season when I was on Trista's season of the Bachelorette.

262
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 2: So I started on the Bachelorette before I became the Bachelor.

263
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 2: I was one of Trista's rejects. Yeah, and I was.

264
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: Actually learned that badge.

265
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 2: Probably I think I was actually technically the first lovable

266
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 2: loser that turned into the Bachelor. But I started this

267
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 2: whole day, I think, No, just kidding, but I love

268
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 2: those guys. Like we got along great, and we got

269
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 2: some heat from producers at the time, like they were like, hey,

270
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 2: this isn't like supposed to be a love fest, you know,

271
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 2: and uh, but we kind of persevered with that. We

272
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 2: stayed buddies, and I loved it still buddies to this

273
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 2: day and a lot of the guys and it's really

274
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 2: fun to catch up with them and you know, check

275
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 2: in and you know, and that's two years.

276
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: Ago, you know. So when you went on your season,

277
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 1: did you know who the bachelor was going to be.

278
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 7: Ahead of time?

279
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 5: No, we didn't tell us.

280
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: So that's so that's the same when I was on

281
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: it a long time ago. It used to be a

282
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: surprise when when you know, when I came out of

283
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: the out of the limousine, nobody know who I was,

284
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: and so I didn't know who any of the women were.

285
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: They didn't know who he was going to be the bachelor.

286
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: That added I think a layer of kind of like

287
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, like innocence to the whole thing, because

288
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: there's no preconceived notions and and I think that's kind

289
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: of a nice thing. And I mean, of course the opposite,

290
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,719
Speaker 1: there might be no there might be no chemistry at all,

291
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: which is fine, that's natural. You don't have chemistry with

292
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: every single person. But if I thought I knew you

293
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: because of TV, and I went to meet you because

294
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: you're on TV, and then you're not what I thought,

295
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 1: that's even worse.

296
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 2: That is so funny that you say that, because my

297
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 2: season was they announced me as the Bachelor, and then

298
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 2: they opened it up for applications, So it was an

299
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 2: ego stroke, right, Oh, well, you have so many people

300
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 2: want to sign up for this, But then it was

301
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 2: a lot of pressure because then I'm like, well, wait

302
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 2: a minute, what if they're only coming on because of

303
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 2: who they think I am?

304
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 3: And then I'm not that guy.

305
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: I literally, just just before you say it was an

306
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 1: ego stroop, they had a tough time.

307
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 2: They call mom my, Mom's like, I got ten girls

308
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 2: on standby, you gotta do no.

309
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: But I agree with that.

310
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 2: I think it will be and I think the next

311
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 2: you know, I'm not sure what they're going to do

312
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 2: for the next step of the Golden franchise, but we've

313
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 2: talked about this a little bit while I have it

314
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 2: with you sound obviously, but was c K last night.

315
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 2: I feel like the Golden Franchise is kind of reinvigorated

316
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 2: the whole Bachelor franchise and reinvigorated bacheloration because it's a

317
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 2: return to like what he, Andrew and I had, which

318
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,599
Speaker 2: it wasn't a bunch of cat fighting and backstabbing and

319
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 2: everything else. It was just people there, you know, optimistic

320
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 2: and hopeful. You know, it wasn't like there was some

321
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 2: type of an agenda. I mean, there wasn't even tooth

322
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 2: whitening strips back then, right, So that's that.

323
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: Was what people want. They want that they want the

324
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: story with the fairy tale, and even if it doesn't

325
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: work out happily ever after, it's that like authentic chase

326
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: of of that dream that everybody wants to be a

327
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: part of. Now. You know, it's fun to watch the

328
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: cat fights, and there's there's there's a guilty pleasure and.

329
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 7: All of that.

330
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: There's always a bit of it. But but I think

331
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: the I think the thread that has kept it together

332
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: is that as a as a viewer, you're like, I

333
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: want this to work out. I want Saunder to be happy,

334
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: I want c k to be happy and whatever whatever

335
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: that is, whether it's with that person or in life.

336
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 1: And that's why people are going to follow you afterwards.

337
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: They're going to want to know what your story is

338
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: and they want you to be happy. And that's a

339
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: really nice thing.

340
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, you'll have people invested with.

341
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 4: I've heard that what you're saying, I've heard that from

342
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 4: people I bump into at the stores and at the

343
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 4: airport they say that same thing, and a lot of

344
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 4: them say, well, I watched it when it first started,

345
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 4: but then I got tired of it. But when they

346
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 4: introduced a golden badger or I really got interested in

347
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:55,719
Speaker 4: and now I hope they do it again and.

348
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 5: Blah blah blah.

349
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 4: So it's like you said, Bob, it reinforced the whole

350
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 4: friend shine to have the golden.

351
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 2: Lit it back up. People want to pay attention again.

352
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 2: I think it's I think it's a big hats off

353
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 2: to casting.

354
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 3: I really do know.

355
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the people that they bring on you know

356
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 2: that that have genuine I don't know, you can, they

357
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,599
Speaker 2: say you can, and I know this is set in

358
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 2: a different way, but they say that if someone's faking

359
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 2: it on camera, you can see it right like you

360
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 2: can't hide, of course, and to see that authenticity from

361
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 2: all of y'all in the vulnerability. As we said, we've

362
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 2: heard that word a lot, and even from the guys

363
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 2: this weekend.

364
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 3: I think people relate to that.

365
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 6: I mean, sometimes you forget the cameras on or your

366
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 6: your mic I mean you just forget, yeah, because you're

367
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 6: so in the moment.

368
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 7: But I want to say this about friendships.

369
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 2: Right.

370
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 6: So I was in the supermarket and this lady comes,

371
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 6: Oh my god, you see cackle and she goes, is

372
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 6: it really true that you guys are really friensical? Yeah,

373
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 6: we're all really So I get my phone out.

374
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 7: She doesn't believe it.

375
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 6: So I get my phone out and I'm going through

376
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 6: all the guys and you know, I go, see there's

377
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 6: Mark right there. She goes, if I push this button

378
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 6: right here, I'm gonna call Mark in. She pushes the button,

379
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 6: He answer the phone, and she walks off.

380
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 7: And I think I walked.

381
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 6: Away thinking I can call any any moment. Yeah, I

382
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 6: won't go to voicemail, like they'll answers the phone and go, hey,

383
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 6: what's up?

384
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: What do you need? Right? And I think that that

385
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: you know, in your seasons, the people that go on

386
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: have the most to lose, meaning you're the most to risk,

387
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: the most to lose, because you have you have, you

388
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: have a family, you have, you have a job, you have,

389
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: you have your life. When you're going on as a

390
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: twenty five or twenty six year old, it's like, you know,

391
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: it's just as summer vacation. For a lot of people,

392
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: they got a couple of weeks. Yeah, and like you know,

393
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: if you go in there and you embarrass yourself or

394
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: whatever else, your your heart's broken, whatever else, you get

395
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: over it. But I think that the that the friendships

396
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: and the relationships that you guys have started from what

397
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: I've heard, are so much more impactful because I think

398
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: you recognize, Listen, we're taking time out of our real lives.

399
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: We're taking away, you know, from our from our work

400
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: and family and all these things to go and do

401
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: this together. So it's like this, uh, you know, almost

402
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: like a Stockholm syndrome where like you guys are in

403
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: this you're listening together.

404
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, together, All right, guys, Well let's let's get to it.

405
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 2: So recently, the two of you became a little bit

406
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 2: of a tabloid fodder.

407
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,359
Speaker 3: You kind of hit hit the zeitgeist.

408
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 5: No, that was Ai.

409
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,720

413
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 2: that was shared about you guys on a first date.

414
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,040

Speaker 1: Well that's nice.

420
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 6: At the end of the day, it kind of reminded

00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 6: me of being back in high school, you know where,

422
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:44,080

424
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 6: an hour, and then she gets to leave.

425
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 7: I got no, what about so and so? And then

426
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:53,560

434
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:20,040
