00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:19,720

24
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 2: about Paradise today. You're now back from Paradise. I least

25
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 2: that's not a secret the when Okay, if we're to

26
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: kick this thing off, I think the first question I

27
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 2: want to ask you is do you get excited personally

28
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 2: for Paradise every year?

29
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 5: At this point? Does it feel more like a job?

30
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 3: Uh kay, that's a good question. I get very excited

31
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 3: for it every year because it's in Mexico, it's in

32
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 3: a nice place, like it's beautiful for me, and like, yes,

33
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 3: it is a lot of work and it's like a

34
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 3: lot of long hours and stuff, but it's still as fun,

35
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 3: you know, like at the end of the day, like

36
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 3: my job is, yes, I'm serving all of them and

37
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 3: making drinks and like getting ice and cleaning cups and stuff,

38
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 3: and so that there is like the nuts and bolts

39
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 3: of all of it, but it still is a little

40
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 3: bit of It feels like I'm hanging out with a

41
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 3: bunch of friends for a month and then we get

42
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 3: to do like fun, wacky stuff, which I which I

43
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 3: always like because you know, that show is is a

44
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 3: little less serious, you know, and you know that kind

45
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 3: of going into it. The opener is, you know, all

46
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 3: the cast members being silly and stuff, and so I

47
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 3: think that gives us a little bit of carte blanche

48
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 3: to be a little fun and silly, and obviously like

49
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 3: my sensibilities leaned towards comedy a little bit. So I

50
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 3: just like going and doing the show. And then you know,

51
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 3: the cherry on top of making that show is what

52
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 3: comes out of it. Case in point, your co host

53
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 3: here and Jared or like you know, I was. I

54
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 3: just married Joe and Serena and they came out of

55
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 3: that show just a couple of seasons ago.

56
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 6: So going to a wedding this weekend of another exactly.

57
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 5: Yeah.

58
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 3: And you know, dare I say that, I think it's

59
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 3: the show that is the most successful in terms of

60
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 3: what the mission statement is, which is to get these

61
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 3: people engaged and married. So for all that, yes, I'm very,

62
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 3: very excited every year. I will say this though, like

63
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 3: I'm getting a little long in the tooth, Like I'm

64
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 3: not the same guy who first started bartending whatever it

65
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 3: was eight years ago. The hours are getting longer. I'm

66
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 3: getting a little more like I had to go to

67
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 3: bed my back hurts. And there's that weird thing of

68
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 3: when I first started doing it, I was the same

69
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 3: age as everybody, or I was a little bit older,

70
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 3: but but basically the same age. Now there's this thing

71
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 3: of like like get off my lawn and these these

72
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 3: kids I don't understand like that all the verbids they're

73
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 3: using and stuff. But no, to answer your question, I

74
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 3: love doing it. It's it is so much fun and

75
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 3: uh yeah, and Mexico just holds like a special place

76
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 3: in my heart anyways, So it's the best.

77
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 7: So you learn the word riz from the gen z Ers,

78
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 7: what else do you learn from them? They also say,

79
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 7: like what's that expression that they say all the time.

80
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 4: Like, well, there's a lot of giving, like giving.

81
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's kind of annoying to me.

82
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, like it's it's it's giving, Barbie, it's getting, it's giving,

83
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 3: uh Hollywood chic and really all it's giving me as

84
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 3: a headache because you're sounding an idiot.

85
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 4: I don't know what you're saying.

86
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 5: I mean.

87
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 4: And then there are a lot of it's funny.

88
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 7: Oh you said it was like high brow or not

89
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 7: high brow.

90
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 3: Low key and high key low key high Yeah, there's

91
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 3: a lot of low key like uh like yeah, like

92
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 3: low key, like I kind of like him, or like

93
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 3: high key, like everyone knows we like it.

94
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 8: We do that.

95
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 3: That that gets used a lot, and it's like low key.

96
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 3: You guys are all annoying to me, and shut up

97
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 3: and just score to your you know your soda around here.

98
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 6: That sounds like high key.

99
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 3: I think low key because I don't want everyone to

100
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 3: know how much I can't stand them. That's not true.

101
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 3: I love everyone down there. And then yeah, the other

102
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 3: one was vibes. It's a lot of vibe checking, like

103
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 3: the vibes are off, the vibes aren't right.

104
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 4: And then like a lot of flags.

105
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 3: There's a lot of green flags, a lot of red flags,

106
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 3: a lot of beige flags, which is the dumbest thing

107
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 3: because the big flag. Really, all that is is just

108
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 3: an idiosyncrasy of your character that's neither good nor bad.

109
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 5: So it's just kind of who you are.

110
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, we said, like Jared being obsessed with Rob Thomas

111
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 7: is his beige flag?

112
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 2: Yes, for one hundred percent. Yeah, Okay, let's play a

113
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 2: scenario out here. Okay, I'm thirty four years old. You

114
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 2: know I wouldn't even be like I don't think old

115
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 2: if I was the bachelor again, Like, I don't think

116
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 2: that would be like a storyline of he's an old bachelor,

117
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 2: Like thirty four seems like kind of the age that

118
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 2: the bachelors are going on three.

119
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,119
Speaker 4: So yeahs fair.

120
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 2: So if I let's play a scenario where I am

121
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 2: single again, I'm the bachelor last season and then they

122
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 2: asked me to go on Paradise, you understand the amount

123
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 2: of confusion I would have on that beach with these

124
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 2: things being said, like you're saying this right now, Wells,

125
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 2: and there is like anxiety inside of me where I'm

126
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 2: feeling way older than I feel like I should, and

127
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 2: also just annoyed hearing it. I would not fund like

128
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 2: I don't belong. Yeah, you don't.

129
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 3: And I, especially though I'm five years older than to

130
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 3: your senior, you know, like I really am, you know,

131
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,119
Speaker 3: kind of confused. I watch a lot of TikTok, so

132
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 3: I feel like I was. I feel like I was

133
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 3: a little prepped. And then there was a there was

134
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 3: a nice little like okay, everyone just sit down and

135
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 3: just explain all this to you know, your your old buddy, Wells.

136
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,679
Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, like it's there's

137
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 3: everyone's saying the same stuff. You know, it's just they

138
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 3: found a new way of saying it. Yeah, and everyone

139
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,159
Speaker 3: needs the same piece of advice because they're still going

140
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 3: through the same problems, you know.

141
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, So well.

142
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 7: We had a headline last episode where Jesse says that

143
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 7: there's going to be this twist totally new, and he

144
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 7: says that everybody, cast and audience is going to love it.

145
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 6: Now about the same twist.

146
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 7: You said in a separate interview that like the audience

147
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 7: will like it, but the cast is going to get

148
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 7: really angry.

149
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 6: Can you tease this a little bit more?

150
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 3: Well, I think what everyone thinks it's going to be

151
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 3: is that like we separate everybody like we did last

152
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 3: season Alla like Cassa more from Love Island. And that's

153
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 3: not that we don't that's not happening. I mean, it

154
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 3: might happen, but that's not what everyone's talking about. I

155
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 3: think you I think what he's talking about is and

156
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 3: we show it the teaser, so I don't think it's

157
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 3: a huge spoiler. We try a new thing, which is

158
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 3: I put out this thing called like the truth Box,

159
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 3: and it's a way for the cast to be able

160
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 3: to say what they want to say without any judgment

161
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 3: or with with with anonymity effectively, and uh, it allows

162
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 3: people to speak their truth and it.

163
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,679
Speaker 4: Helps a lot of couples. It hurts a lot of couples.

164
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 3: It It brings people together that you never thought were

165
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 3: going to.

166
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 4: It separates people that probably shouldn't be together, you know.

167
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 3: Like so it's it's this new tool that we that

168
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 3: we put together that actually I think really does help

169
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 3: the bottom line and the mission statement of the show,

170
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 3: which is like get people to find each other and

171
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 3: you know, hopefully get engaged at the end of the

172
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 3: single or leave together.

173
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 4: You know.

174
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 6: So the PST secret remember that thing.

175
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 3: It's similar to I don't know if you guys ever

176
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 3: worked like in a corporate office, but I did. There's

177
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 3: this thing of like the complaint box that you can

178
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 3: like put in complaints about like effectively managers and then

179
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 3: and you don't have to put your name on it,

180
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 3: so you can just say what you think. And then

181
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 3: you know, people have to you know, you have like

182
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 3: a meeting at the end of the week to be like, okay,

183
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 3: so this is those in the complaint box. It's a

184
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 3: little bit like that. And I'd be lying if there

185
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 3: weren't a lot of like Wells's drinks suck in that

186
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 3: complaint box this year. But you know, well, everyone's upset

187
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 3: because they want stronger drinks and that's just.

188
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 5: Not an option.

189
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 4: It's not an option.

190
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 3: And also, I'm trying to do you a service here

191
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 3: of you not being like I can't believe that.

192
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 4: To me, I'm not as sick as you. Jog ayeah

193
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 4: wan kind because every season you might have to be like, hey, sweetie,

194
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 4: let's go drink of water. Yeah, it's gonna liquid iv

195
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 4: in you.

196
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 5: Huh.

197
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 3: You know. So I think that's what he's talking about

198
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 3: because we see it. We see it on the teaser

199
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 3: of like I present it, but it could be something else.

200
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 4: I don't even know.

201
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 2: So, I mean, because when you hear this and you

202
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 2: hear his statements, do you immediately in your mind go

203
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 2: to what you were talking about in your interview or

204
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 2: something else?

205
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 4: I don't know, Like, so those a lot of those

206
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 4: interviews we do like before the show starts, you know,

207
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 4: so it's a lot of like hyperbole that you're like, well,

208
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 4: I think I know what's what we're going to be

209
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 4: doing this season.

210
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 3: We don't really know, but I don't really know. I'm

211
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 3: not sure if it's really like anything's really happened yet.

212
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 3: I will say this, like we have more leads than

213
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 3: we've ever had come on the show this year, which

214
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 3: is you know, like praise be to Becca for like

215
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 3: kind of like starting this trend of like leads feeling

216
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 3: comfortable coming on the show, which is really really good

217
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 3: because I think one it brings a lot of brand

218
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 3: awareness back to the show. And listen, leads are leads

219
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 3: for a reason, like they're really good TV makers, right,

220
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 3: Like you know that, like they're going to come in

221
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 3: there with some fire and some grit and and also

222
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 3: like a lot of people want to date them and stuff,

223
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 3: so that's really exciting. We have some fun, funny games

224
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 3: and scenarios that we do, you know, there's always those

225
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 3: like tonight we're doing this thing or like and and

226
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 3: we do want this year that we've ever done before.

227
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 3: And I don't even know if it'll make air, but

228
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 3: it's really really funny, and I think if it does

229
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 3: make air, I think that the audience is really going

230
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 3: to love this like new wrinkle that we've thrown in.

231
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 3: But for the for I have no idea what Jesse,

232
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 3: who was talking about.

233
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 4: Honestly, I have no idea what.

234
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 3: I don't even remember saying what you guys said I said,

235
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 3: but I'm sure I said it.

236
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 5: I believe it. You're quoted. It's fine.

237
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 8: Yeah.

238
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 2: So in our last when this headline was red Wells,

239
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 2: and I want to speak my piece to you personally

240
00:11:54,640 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 2: because I feel like I was against this truth I'll

241
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 2: tell you why.

242
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 5: Okay.

243
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 2: I think one of the healthiest things in life that

244
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 2: we can do is confront issues person to person, confront

245
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 2: them head to head. And I think Paradise is great

246
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 2: because it kind of has always forced people to confront

247
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 2: issues and it makes that weird drama for a bit,

248
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 2: like we have love triangles or Hey, you hooked up

249
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 2: with me before the show and you told me we're

250
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 2: going to date.

251
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 5: Down here, and now we're not dating. I am worried.

252
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 2: This truth box is allowing kind of like a social

253
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 2: media buffer between humans to be able to speak, and

254
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 2: it's just allowing people to hide behind a box. Am

255
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 2: I looking at this scenario wrong? Argue with me on this.

256
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 3: Tell me I'm not right. I think you were right

257
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 3: and you're wrong. Yes, Like I think there is a

258
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 3: little bit of cowardice in not being able to have

259
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 3: the cojones to actually say what you want to say.

260
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 3: But then again, I think the problem that we've had

261
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 3: in the past is that someone feels a certain way

262
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 3: and I might not even be a part of their relationship,

263
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 3: and they don't want to get in the middle of things,

264
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 3: which I totally understand. Like I don't want to be

265
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,719
Speaker 3: a potster. I don't want to be a villain, like

266
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 3: this isn't my thing. But like I heard someone say

267
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 3: something and like that's not cool, and I feel like

268
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 3: someone should know that. But I don't want to be

269
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 3: the one that gets in the middle of all the drama,

270
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 3: which I totally understand. And we are now living in

271
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 3: a very interesting world where and I've been talking about

272
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 3: this a lot, Like, you know, when we all went

273
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 3: on the show, social media wasn't such a thing, right,

274
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 3: Like you just kind of like lived your life, and yes,

275
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 3: there were tweets and like you you'd post on Facebook,

276
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 3: like your photos of your food, you eight that day

277
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 3: or whatever. But now the cast members that are coming

278
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 3: on this show are these these kids who have lived

279
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 3: their life with social media and effectively they have been

280
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 3: curating their storyline on their own social media for a

281
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 3: very long time, and they have a very their brand

282
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 3: awareness is so much stronger than what we had, like

283
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 3: and so there's a lot more trepidation going in the

284
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 3: show of being like, Okay, you saw that, or you

285
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 3: heard them say that, or you feel this way you

286
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 3: should say it. Well, that's not like I don't want

287
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 3: to put myself out there like that, you know. But

288
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 3: the problem with that is that it doesn't get to

289
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 3: the heart of the problem, which is the honesty, the

290
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 3: truth and finding your right person. Like Paradise, At least

291
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 3: for Ashley and I when we were there, it was

292
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 3: a lot of like, you did that person that didn't work.

293
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 3: I did that person that didn't work. I did that

294
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 3: person that didn't work. Then you come to this last

295
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 3: person and you go through all these motions, and it's

296
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 3: been it's been a little bit harder with with this

297
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 3: younger generation who's lived their life, you know, being the

298
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 3: star of their own TV show on their phone, and

299
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 3: so I think this is a This was a really

300
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 3: good way of being able to allow people to say

301
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 3: what they want to say without diminishing their brand of

302
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 3: how they perceive themselves in the show, if that makes

303
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 3: any sense.

304
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 6: To you, theres a lot of sense. I think that

305
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 6: was a perfect explanation.

306
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's been a weird I'm seeing it transpire

307
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 3: because and of course I'm the guy who's like, I'm

308
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 3: very black and white when I when when I see

309
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 3: things on the show, because it's always happening right in

310
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 3: front of me, and I always say the same thing.

311
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 3: I'm like, but it's crazy if you don't say that, Like,

312
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 3: the entire world is going to be like, well, you

313
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 3: knew this thing, but you didn't say anything. Like that's

314
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 3: bonkers to me, you know. And that's so that's usually

315
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 3: a lot of like what my advice is is like

316
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 3: I think you can need to say something because if

317
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 3: I were in your shoes, I would definitely say it,

318
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 3: because that's crazy if you didn't, Like, I feel like

319
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 3: the audience would be more upset that I didn't say

320
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 3: something than than if I did, you know. So, Yeah,

321
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 3: it's it's an interesting it's very interesting doing the shows

322
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 3: now in comparison to him, you know, Ashley and I

323
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 3: did it, you know, decades ago.

324
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 6: Interesting.

325
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 7: You mentioned that, like there's more leads this season than

326
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 7: ever before.

327
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 6: Why am I only thinking of Rachel?

328
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 4: Why don't you gotta wait and watch a show I guess.

329
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 6: Oh, okay, well I know leads come down.

330
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 2: Good teaser, that's gonna get a lot of people watch it.

331
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 7: Okay, Well, off that question. Who is your dream lead

332
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 7: to come back on Paradise?

333
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 3: Ooh, I mean he's married now with Ben Higgins. That

334
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 3: would be this Dad bought on the Beach.

335
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 4: Yes, oh my god, what I would leave.

336
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 5: I let my chest here grow out for that show.

337
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 3: What I would do to be able to like have

338
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 3: my opening credits with Ben with our shirts off being

339
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 3: like this, this is what the wrong side of thirty

340
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 3: looks like, America.

341
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 4: You will have a lot to look forward to.

342
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, you're not getting out of the question.

343
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 4: No, that's good. That's a good question.

344
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 3: Okay, he's not a lead, but I would like him

345
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 3: to come uh. And that's Tyler Cameron, Like I think

346
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 3: that he would be. I think he would be in

347
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,439
Speaker 3: high demand. So we gotta wait. We gotta wait for

348
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 3: his riz to cool down a little bit before he's

349
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 3: like has to come back on these shows.

350
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 4: And then I think, you know, Peter Krause was a

351
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 4: guy that like everyone loves.

352
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 7: Right, Jared and I are so team at Peter Krause

353
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 7: to do anything Bachelor related. We would love to have

354
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 7: them make him the lead just out of nowhere and

355
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 7: have the audience not even know who he is.

356
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 2: I think Paradise would be a better fit for him.

357
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 2: I would also can I add to this, I would

358
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 2: love to see Pilot Pete in Paradise because I don't

359
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 2: think his personality shows as well as the Bachelor, and

360
00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 2: I think he is like really wild and fun, and

361
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 2: he's and like I just feel like he's kind of

362
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 2: got pushed behind. I think he would be a really

363
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 2: great person in Paradise.

364
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and listen, you know this is sad because I

365
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 3: was such good I'm such good friends with both of them,

366
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 3: with with uh, with with Caitlin. And I think that

367
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 3: Caitlyn would be really good in Paradise.

368
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 5: You know, that would be really fun.

369
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 7: Wow.

370
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 8: I don't know.

371
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 3: I don't know if she would do it, but she

372
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 3: would be funny down there for sure. Jason to Jason,

373
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 3: never came to Paradise, did he?

374
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: No?

375
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 4: He didn't, No, he did it.

376
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 7: Now wait, now you have a whole other show concept

377
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 7: that I'm thinking of, more like Bachelor in Paradise All Stars.

378
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 6: So it would have to be like the huge names.

379
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 7: That's the only way to get the other huge names

380
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 7: to get on for sure.

381
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 3: Or like the one of you guys are Watcher was

382
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,679
Speaker 3: like this kind of like bad MTV rip off that

383
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 3: I loved so much called X and the Beach.

384
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jase McNairy from The Bachelor when on that, Yeah.

385
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 6: Jared and I hosted the reunion show one year.

386
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, could we could do something like that that?

387
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 4: That would be pretty great, Listen.

388
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 3: I just like the fact that that one like like

389
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 3: leads that like don't find love, like still deserve to

390
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 3: like to like find love. It's just funny though, Like

391
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 3: you're I think that they're used to being the star

392
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,239
Speaker 3: of the show, and then all of a sudden they

393
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 3: get thrown into a situation where like there is no star.

394
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 3: You know, well there's Jesse, He's the star, I guess.

395
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 3: And then and then you're just kind of like your

396
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 3: your your special treatment is is gone and there's a

397
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 3: little bit of learning curve there, which I I always

398
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:39,479
Speaker 3: find funny.

399
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 2: You know, I wouldn't enjoy that. I want to be

400
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 2: the star. Yeah, I don't want to be the I

401
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 2: want to be the center of attention. I want people.

402
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 2: I want a handler, uh handler, Yeah, I want to

403
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 2: filling up my whiskey glass Wells shaking an empty glass

404
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 2: of ice. Excuse me, sir, oh, I would just like

405
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 2: to come up to Wells and be like, well, another

406
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 2: drink man. Sorry, this one was good enough.

407
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 5: Yeah.

408
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 2: Hey, we obviously have made it very clear that this

409
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 2: show is is uh you know, films in the in

410
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 2: the summertime, and you're off of it now, and I

411
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 2: want to give listeners a taste of what is expected,

412
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 2: and so let's drill into the details a little bit.

413
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 2: What as much as you can. What characters that we

414
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 2: know are going to be in Paradise should we be

415
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:28,719
Speaker 2: most excited to watch?

416
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 3: Okay, I think the world fell in love with Aaron

417
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 3: over this last season, or at least we got a

418
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 3: lot of him on the show on Charity season. I

419
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 3: think that that's a good character to watch. I'm trying

420
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 3: to think of everyone who's who we know is going

421
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 3: to be on there. I like Brandon like yeah, like,

422
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 3: And I know that might be a contrac.

423
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 7: He's always been mad at it because I've defended him

424
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 7: throughout the entire season.

425
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, like, well, okay, here's what I'll say about Bradenley,

426
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 3: he has weird style, like he reminds me a lot

427
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 3: of Dean if I'm being honest, like just kind of

428
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 3: a out there guy that you're just like I, you know,

429
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 3: and you're not really sure if that's like a bit

430
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 3: you know, like I'm doing this because I want everyone

431
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,239
Speaker 3: to think that I'm crazy and different, or like you

432
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 3: are just crazy and different, like and I still don't

433
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 3: know if I really know the answer to that question.

434
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 3: I like him because and obviously it's weird because we

435
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 3: film that show before Charity season aired, so we didn't

436
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 3: get to know who the villains were and who were

437
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 3: so I went into being like, you're just a guy

438
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 3: with rubber ducky earrings on right now, Like if you're

439
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 3: the villain, where have we gone? Like, you know, like

440
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 3: my villain was a guy named Chad who is three

441
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 3: hundred pounds of pure muscle and protein and steroid anger

442
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 3: like your rubber.

443
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 4: Ducky's the bad guy.

444
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 3: Hope ohs Scarf as scary. So I just couldn't buy it.

445
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 3: And I liked it because there was a little bit of,

446
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 3: you know, I want a redemption story in him that

447
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 3: I appreciated and like also, all these guys come down,

448
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 3: they're like, oh, we hate Brandon. I'm like rubber ducky guy,

449
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 3: Like reallys so I I really like him. He's also

450
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 3: just a nice guy. I don't think he's a bad guy.

451
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 3: Who else cat is?

452
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:25,280

Speaker 6: Two cats, one with a KM with the c.

00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 4: Yes, both of the cats are good.

455
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 5: Uh.

456
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 3: Well the one with the sea is she's like the

00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 3: one that's like, is a cat lady?

458
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 4: Okay?

459
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 6: Oh is she? She just seems a little bit a

460
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 6: little bit more of an instigator.

461
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:46,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

462
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 7: Uh.

463
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 3: She's like a bartender in New York. And every time

464
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 3: there's a bartend that comes down there that's like judge

465
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:52,920

00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 6: A bartender on TV.

468
00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:00,680

484
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 2: And you know what, Traditionally, I'm just thinking off the

485
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 2: top of my head, Bachelor in Paradise weddings have not

486
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 2: been wildly successful.

487
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 5: Have they.

488
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 7: Oh?

489
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, the ones that have happened there, yeah, very.

490
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 4: Un Yeah, so I'm hoping this one lasts, let's say so.

491
00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 3: For Yeah, I really like these two people really rooting

492
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 3: for them.

493
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 2: Well, as we're gonna talk about Joe and Serena's wedding

494
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 2: as we close up. But I like to do this

495
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 2: with you every year before Paradise airs, if we could

496
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 2: take twenty seconds, thirty seconds to just tell people out

497
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 2: there why they should watch Paradise this year or as

498
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 2: long as you really want.

499
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 5: The floor's ears.

500
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,479

Speaker 8: Yeah.

518
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 6: All right, So you were the efficient at Joe and

519
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,199
Speaker 6: Serena's wedding. How did they come with you with that?

520
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 8: Askia?

521
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 3: Joe texted me and my my initial response was I

522
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 3: feel like this is more of a phone call, but sure,

523
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 3: And I was like, I'm not I'm not a priest,

524
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 3: you know. But luckily you can go online to the

525
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 3: Universal Life Church dot com and get a uh I

526
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 3: should be sponsored by them.

527
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 7: By the way, recently, I recently officiated a wedding two

528
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 7: three weeks ago, and I did it through the Universal

529
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 7: Life Church. And I'm like, Okay, are are we sure

530
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 7: that this is it? Because you basically just signed something

531
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 7: like you sign a so far and that's it.

532
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 6: Yeah.

533
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,360
Speaker 4: My I was like thirty seven dollars or like thirty nine.

534
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 3: It wasn't.

535
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 4: It was nothing.

536
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 3: But like now like I'm like, I think I could

537
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 3: be like a cult leader, Like I think I could

538
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 3: say really easy.

539
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 6: You know, how long did it take to write their

540
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:04,719
Speaker 6: ceremony script?

541
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 4: It took a while.

542
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 3: I I have a bunch of friends who have married people,

543
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 3: and I took the script that Jesse Tyler Ferguson did

544
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 3: for ours, and so I kind of did this amalgamation

545
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 3: of all of these different weddings that I liked. And

546
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 3: then obviously they came. They flew out here and we

547
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 3: went to lunch and I was like, let's talk about

548
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 3: what you want, like what you want from me? And

549
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 3: so yeah, it probably took me like three weeks, but

550
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 3: it wasn't like every day all day.

551
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 4: Uh, it didn't take me very long, and it was

552
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 4: it was not till like you know, it's like really good.

553
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 3: Pat myself on the shoulder, but like it was really

554
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 3: really beautiful ceremony and not because of anything that I did,

555
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 3: but because of like their love. It was just so

556
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 3: palpable and obvious. And it was just, uh, it was

557
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 3: so fun and and Joe. Joe had like the best

558
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 3: line of the whole. Like I did like twenty minutes

559
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 3: of stand up up there, which I thought like killed.

560
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 3: Then Joe does one line and absol destroys me and

561
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 3: like absolutely takes the house down, which I love. It's

562
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 3: their moment, no mind, but uh, it was just it

563
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 3: was like really fun, and like both of their families

564
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 3: are exactly what you think their families are, Like it's

565
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 3: just like these really nice Canadian people who are just

566
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 3: so sweet and pretty and fun.

567
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 5: And then like.

568
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 3: Italians from Chicago, like we liked Sass and Peacha, and

569
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,439
Speaker 3: everyone's name is Joe and Joe Anne A Josephine And

570
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 3: it was just like IVY was like a movie I was,

571
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 3: and I was like a part of it.

572
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 4: And yeah, it was so much fun.

573
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 5: In my time.

574
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 2: I think it's up to fifteen or thirteen people I've

575
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 2: been able to officiate the wedding for.

576
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 4: It's not it's not a competition, then.

577
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 2: No, Well you got to remember I also started an

578
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 2: event called the Wedding Fest like years ago, where we

579
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 2: married ten people at once, right, okay, well yeah, it

580
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 2: was a wild thing before COVID. I say this to

581
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 2: say fifteen people in there's nothing that makes me more

582
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 2: nervous in my life than marrying people. Were you nervous

583
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 2: for this like massive responsibility?

584
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 3: Not really, I have really no anxiety speaking in front

585
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 3: of people if I'm prepared and all that kind of stuff.

586
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 3: But I remember I was up there and Joe walked down,

587
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 3: and I was like, I was still feeling pretty good.

588
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 3: And then I saw Serena start walking down, and I

589
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 3: had this flashback to my wedding of when I when

590
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 3: I saw Sarah turn the corner, and I was like,

591
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 3: that was the That was the biggest day of my life.

592
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 3: It was the most important moment of my life. And

593
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 3: then I then I was like shot back to where

594
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 3: I was sitting in Charleston, you know, at the altern

595
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 3: I was like, oh my god, I really don't want

596
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 3: to screw up their most important day of their life.

597
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 3: And then I started getting a little bit of a

598
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 3: little bit of you know, flop sweat, but you know,

599
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 3: then I opened up with like a couple jokes and

600
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:48,719
Speaker 3: then we were off running in and it was it

601
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 3: was fine.

602
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, once those first couple of words come out of

603
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 7: your mouth, you're like, okay, So I just want to

604
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 7: know a little bit more about Joe's dad, because everybody

605
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,479
Speaker 7: made it seem like he was like the big character

606
00:28:58,560 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 7: of the wedding.

607
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Big Joe.

00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 3: which I walked outside and everyone was hanging out at

612
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:19,520

Speaker 3: loving it, like they were all singing like and it

616
