48
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,960

49
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: out the door quietly by the way, because I have

50
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: two young boys who I don't want to wait because

51
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: that would make mommy not happy. And I'm out the door.

52
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: I'm on my way to the airport. I get there

53
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: a little bit early. I have a nice breakfast sandwich.

54
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: Things are just going beautifully, and then as I board

55
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: the plane, they tell us there might be a maintenance

56
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: issue with some air supply, not the band, but the

57
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: actual circulation of air within the plane. Three and a

58
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: half hours later, we're getting off the plane. I'm texting

59
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: everyone that matters here at our iHeart family, saying I

60
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: think I'm in trouble. I don't know what's going to happen.

61
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: There was one plane that went out again at twelve thirty,

62
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: and this is again, this is eight twenty five that

63
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: I board the plane, but I couldn't try to get

64
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: on that plane until I was already kicked off. The

65
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: other plane was kind of a long story. Anyway, we're

66
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 1: here for him, I run across the airport from Gate

67
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: A sixteen to Kate A seventy two, sprinting like Carl Jones, Wait,

68
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: wasn't it Carl Lewis Carl Lewis across the airport and

69
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: as I arrive, I get on the plane with there

70
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: was twenty two people on standby. There were two seats available.

71
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: I got one of them. So I made it. And

72
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: maybe I would have made it without that. I would

73
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: have walked. I would have briskly walked. I would not

74
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: have made it without it. But I was trying, and

75
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: I was like, I was like throwing out recommendations like hey,

76
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: I might be able to podcast from my you know,

77
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: closet at my house, and Amy Sugarman is like, absolutely no.

78
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: This is all about top quality sonic experiences. So I

79
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: just had to make sure we got it done, and

80
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: therefore I charted the plane.

81
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 3: I appreciate it, buddy, you literally charted a plane. You

82
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 3: have a wild experience on your flight, then with some people,

83
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 3: a new YU you even recognized a few times on

84
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 3: this flight.

85
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: Well yeah, so I don't care what side of the

86
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 1: political eil you're on. I think she happens to be

87
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: a great governor. The great governor of Michigan, Miss Gretchen Whitmer,

88
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: was on my flight. But what a lot of people

89
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: don't know was she was my buddy in college, so

90
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: she had many years. She was in first class. I

91
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 1: was relegated to steerage and on this flight, I was

92
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: in middle seat, by the way, And on this flight,

93
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: she glances over her shoulder and she's like, Bob. I'm like, hey, crotch,

94
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: give her a big hug. And I go, I'm so

95
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: proud of everything you've done. And she goes, I'm just

96
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: a governor, You're a big time which I thought was

97
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: really funny. We took a picture. I sent it to

98
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: my wife. My wife now thinks I should run her government.

99
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: Then the guy I'm sitting next to on the plane crazy.

100
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: I'm looking at this guy. I'm like, God, this guy

141
00:06:58,800 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 3: have a conversation with them.

142
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 1: Well, I'll say this. You know, one of the things

143
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: that we're gonna do tonight is, if you don't mind,

144
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask everyone tonight for a little bit of

145
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: parenting and books because the majority of the majority of

146
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: the folks we're gonna interview tonight have them. I think

147
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: I think the Golden Ladies I love them very much anyway,

148
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: Like I really enjoy them, and I think that the

149
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: three of them together are just magic. I think Joan

150
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: in shock. I'm very excited to meet them, very excited

151
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: to talk with them. I'm a fan of his. I'm

152
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: a big fan of Jones, but watching the season, I've

153
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: become a fan of his and I'm excited to see

154
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: their dynamic. But I'm also excited to hear the advice.

155
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: You know, Like I think, I think we all think

156
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: we know what we're doing, but there's no handbook when

157
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: you have a kid, right, there's like, you know.

158
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 3: The best advice may have ever been given. It's just like, hey,

159
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 3: we're all building the plane and flying at the same time.

160
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: And guess what, nobody's wrong.

161
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I mean.

162
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: Like, at the end of the day, your way is

163
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: going to be your way and you're you're in Jessice.

164
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,960

165
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: it's going to be your own choice. We've all been

166
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: raised by parents that we think did a great job

167
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: or some that didn't do a great job. But I'm

168
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: not gonna do the same way my parents did it either.

169
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,559
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have my own little twist and I hope

170
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: that you know that helps my kids. And I'm sure

171
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: you guys are going to do the same thing and

172
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: make the same choices. So I'm excited for you guys,

173
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: and excited to see how the whole thing unfolds. I

174
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: love you both as a couple. I think that having

175
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: a child is going to be I mean, it's just

176
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 1: a perfect fit for you. Dude. You're born to be

177
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: a dad. I feel like you're kind of my dad

178
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: in certain ways that I mean, you're like thirty seven

179
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: years younger than me, but you also give me parenting

180
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: advice all the time, which I love. I'll be like, Ben,

181
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: what do you think I should do? And you're like, well, buddy,

182
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: why don't you just buck up? And you know, you

183
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,800

186
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: I think that the two of you together are going

187
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: to be so magical. You're gonna have moments though, and

Speaker 4: winery and it doesn't have a hot tub.

348
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 3: You never watched my season, there was literally a hot

349
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 3: tub sitting in the middle of the Desert Sugarman.

350
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: Resort in Alaska. On my season, there is no hot tub.

351
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: They make a plastic pool, yes, into a hot tub.

352
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: It's not warm.

353
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 4: No, it's like you know, when you're out like a

354
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 4: buffet and there's like that candle underneath the silver that's

355
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 4: how I heard they do the hot tab.

356
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: It wasn't anything more than that because we couldn't have

357
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: the heater would not be on because it would ruin

358
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 1: the audio.

359
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 4: So it was cold, like look ice cold.

360
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,439
Speaker 1: First of all, it's at the base of a mountain

361
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 1: in Alaska and there's not a hot tub there.

362
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 3: That's yeah, there's a hot tub in the middle of

363
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 3: the desert.

364
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 2: Like, that's not a thing.

365
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 3: No, there'll get in. They literally like truck it in.

366
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 4: I learned this yesterday.

367
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: Garden hose plastic tub lighter.

368
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 4: So it doesn't have the proper chemicals.

369
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 1: Oh I got weird rashes?

370
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 2: Yeah?

00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 4: Did you that happened for your show too?

372
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah twice.

373
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 4: And let me ask you, is this because they want

374
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 4: the shirtless bikini moment or do they want hoping like

375
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 4: some kisses happen.

376
00:17:59,359 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: It's like.

377
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 2: They wanted me without my shirt on as much as

378
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 2: possible with me.

379
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: They wanted me to wear a shirt and they were

380
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: trying to pack me up with a thermal whatever.

381
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 3: Whatever average body you've got is going to relate with

382
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 3: so much of the American public.

383
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 4: What was your thing?

384
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 2: That the perfect bend?

385
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 4: The perfect bend, that's caused him a lot. He needs

386
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 4: therapy from that. Wait, does this before you had the worm?

387
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 4: Does everybody know about that? Then was essentially sick his

388
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 4: entire season.

389
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: I noticed you got skinnier.

390
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, my shirt off. I just look good.

391
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: Well anyway, I will say my season of the Bachelor,

392
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 1: they found ways to put me in sweaters. You get

393
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: him in a turtleneck, we ensconce him in a snowbill suit.

394
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 3: Uh, this is going to be a great night. The

395
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 3: guests are going to arrive here in the next few minutes.

396
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 3: We've got to get prepped. We've got to get ready.

397
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 4: Struggling some wise like words as we start your baby

398
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 4: shower that you're feeling about becoming a dad, I mean tech.

399
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 3: You're a dad now, yeahnam My wise words are this,

400
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 3: be present, be patient, give everything around you a ton

401
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 3: of grace and understanding.

402
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 2: And with a baby.

403
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 3: Girl, the best advice I've been given is to represent

404
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 3: what a man means to her, and let your wife

405
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 3: represent what a woman means to her and carry those

406
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 3: roles very specifically, but also with a ton of love.

407
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 3: And that's my hope, that's my desire. And then I'll

408
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 3: take any other advice I can get because I'm walking

409
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 3: into this thing and I'm winging it like most podcasts.

410
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: A man, I think you're doing great. I think kindness

411
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: is key. I think about that all the time with

412
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 1: my kids, Like, whenever I get super irritated with whatever,

413
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, if I can be kind here, then

414
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 1: when they when they have the same situation at school

415
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: or with their friends, maybe they'll emulate me a little

416
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: bit and they'll be kind. And so I as much

417
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: as I want to go bananas, I'll be like, oh,

418
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: let's try to not do that. You know, but I

419
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: think you got it. You're you got to figure it out.

420
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,640
