Speaker 1: am Chris Harrison alongside Lauren Ziema. Great show Today, the beautiful,

4
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: the talented Jennifer Nettles is going to be on the show.

5
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: She is obviously country music singer superstar Sugarland has done

6
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: her own solo stuff as well, but now she is

7
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: venturing into well my territory reality show host. She is

8
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: hosting Farmer Wants a Wife, the new reality show on Fox.

9
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: Also on the show today, one of the farmers farmer Hunter.

10
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: I think you just like saying farmer. I do like

11
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: saying farmer he is I was gonna I was trying

12
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,639
Speaker 1: to figure out a way how can I say he

13
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: is as full as a tick on a bloodhound. Lots

14
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: of rednecks sayings and lines on Farmer ONTs a Wife.

15
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: It's the new show on Fox where four farmers are

16
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: finding love, trying to find love, but not giving up

17
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: who they are, which is they're farmers. They're living on

18
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: the land. So we got four men from the heartland

19
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: and we have women from all across the country vying

20
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: for their love and attention. Although not all of them

21
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: are up for this. You know. The show had me

22
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: thinking because of the format of it, the way that

23
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: the women move in right away with them. They see

24
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: these guys whole real lives right from the start, and

25
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: I kind of started thinking about like you and I

26
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: and dating, and you know, the question of when do

27
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: you reveal your whole true self and show your whole

28
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: true life to someone that you're dating. It should be,

29
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: in my opinion, if you're smart a slow burn. Oh interesting,

30
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: I didn't expect you to say that I'm a slow reveal.

31
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: Leave a little something to be desired, a little something

32
00:01:54,200 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: to learn, just in that. I think relationship chips have stages.

33
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: They moved to a certain point, like yes, I thought

34
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: I love you early on, but we've created and gone

35
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: so much deeper now, so true that I want to

36
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: reveal more to you in more intimate ways, whether it's

37
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: my kids, my mom, my dad, what I really think

38
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: about my mom and my dad and my brother, you know.

39
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: But you know what I mean. It's like, I think

40
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: you scratch the surface early on, and it's like you

41
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: can have them into the house or whatever. But I

42
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: think then you go much deeper as you go, so

43
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,959
Speaker 1: I would say a slow burn. Are you saying not? Well,

44
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: I have this friend and I will say she's she's

45
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: been on the struggle bus in dating and I've tried

46
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: to I don't agree with some of her opinions, like

47
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: she said, well, I'm myself, my whole everything about myself

48
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: right from date one, and so then like if they

49
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: don't like me, it's like take me or leave me.

50
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: And if they don't like me, then that's it and whatever.

51
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 1: And I think there's a balance because look, you don't

52
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: want to misrepresent who you are and you don't want

53
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: to be that, you know, like the movie Runaway Bride,

54
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: where she's like changing Julie Roberts's character infamously changed how

55
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: she likes her eggs for each guy. You don't want

56
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: to change who you are for someone, and you don't

57
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: want to misrepresent who you are. But at the same time,

58
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: I think in different areas of our lives, like you

59
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: don't walk into a business meeting and act exactly like

60
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: you're full self, or you have different versions of yourself,

61
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: like I have who I am in a first business

62
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 1: meeting with somebody, and then I have who I am

63
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: when I'm like with my siblings or with you, and

64
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: so we have these different versions of ourselves. And I

65
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: think when you're first dating somebody, be yourself, but be

66
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: a certain version of yourself. Hopefully you could come across

67
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: crazy the best version of yourself for that particular moment.

68
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: Like I wasn't doing my Voldemort impression for you on

69
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: the first Trust me, I did not know that's what

70
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: I was buying into. I wasn't talking. It's which Harry

71
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: Potter book isn't. Yeah, she didn't give me the Harry

72
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: Potter test of what house you're in? All that has

73
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: to come. Can we do the Harry Potter test for

74
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: people right now? Not yet? Okay, the one question test

75
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: Instagram if you want to do the test, because how

76
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: are people going to answer that you would have to

77
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: go through It would be very tough and convoluted, which

78
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 1: I also feel like if you reveal everything about yourself,

79
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: it's like drinking out of a fire hydrant early on.

80
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: That's a lot for somebody to take in. Let them

81
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: drink out of the water fountain. Well, that's the thing.

82
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: It's going to be interesting to see on Farmer Wants

83
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: a Wife like I would be. You know, obviously this

84
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: is a TV show, it's an experiment, and so we're

85
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 1: going to throw these people in right away. And the

86
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: question is, can you take the full reality of someone's life,

87
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,239
Speaker 1: everything about who they are, the way they live, everything,

88
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: right from day one. Like with you and I, you

89
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: actually introduced me to the kids fairly early on, but

90
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: you also said, look, a, my kids are older, they're teenagers.

91
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: They're not you know, you don't have to worry about

92
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: like a younger child forming an emotional attachment to you

93
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: right away. Because I was a little nervous. And then

94
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: you said, I have my kids fifty percent of the time,

95
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: So if we're going to be dating each other, you're

96
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: going to see him quite a lot. I am trying

97
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: to think of how quickly I like threw you in.

98
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 1: It really was pretty quick. But again I think I

99
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 1: just there's also something exciting about maintaining a little mystery too,

100
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: and unfolding things. Speaking of mystery, oh yes, and unfolding.

101
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: And we'll get back to Farmer One's why because we're

102
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: going to have Jennifer Neddles and country Icon. I think

103
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: you have a little bit of a celeb crush. I

104
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: do have a celeb crush on Jennifer Nettles. She's incredibly talented. Yeah,

105
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: it's like I've been a big, yeah, huge fan Farmer Hunter.

106
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: We'll see if I'm a fan. I got to talk

107
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: to him, see what this farmer is all about. But

108
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: the mystery that is Aaron Rodgers. Again, this is when

109
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: our two worlds kind of collide. Green May Packer quarterback

110
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. You're transitioning into the most dramatic headlines of

111
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: the week. Yeah, this has been a dramatic headline that

112
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: you and I talked a lot about. He is an

113
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: eccentric guy, to say the least, and he's been known

114
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: for he goes on these meditative trips, these retreats. He

115
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: marches to the beat of a different drummer, and he

116
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: recently just went to a quiet, dark retreat. Quiet is

117
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: an understatement. Okay, I'm going to take this over because

118
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: for once I can speak on a sports story. As

119
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: you said, usually our world's don't intersect, but when sports

120
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: comes into the entertainment websites, when I see it on

121
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: those that I know. Now, Aaron Rodgers has dated a

122
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 1: lot of famous people, so I do know who he has,

123
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: stated Olivia mun and stand to Patrick yes. So Aaron Rodgers,

124
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: in trying to figure out his next step in his

125
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: football career, has revealed that he went to not just

126
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: a quiet a four day silent retreat in almost total darkness,

127
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: in a space an unknown location that was at least

128
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: partially underground, and the only thing he had was a bed,

129
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 1: a matt on which to meditate. And that's it. Yea,

130
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: I saw this. It's at Skycave is the name of it.

131
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: It's a three hundred square foot it partially underground hobbit

132
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: like dwelling. I saw. You can see the door, so

133
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: it really is like the Hobbit. Okay, so he's paying

134
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 1: to go be in. He's paying essentially to be in

135
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: solitary confinement, which is in is in some way forms

136
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: of torture and imprisonment. But yes, I think we shut

137
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: down Guantanamo Bay because of this. No, but it's you

138
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: and I have a little different opinion on this. We do,

139
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: I think. Okay. I came to Chris and I said,

140
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: this is you would be wild to me. I would

141
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: never do this. First of all, I am way too

142
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: afraid of the dark. I mean every night when we

143
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: go to sleep, I'm waking up a couple times in

144
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: the night, and I don't know if anybody out there

145
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: has contacts or glasses. My contacts prescription is eight point five.

146
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: Think of readers like readers, glasses are like one point five,

147
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: like the bottom of a coke bottle. That's what you

148
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: wear when you're six. Yes, yes, she's an eight point five.

149
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: So I wake up in the middle of the night,

150
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: I see a shadow. I'm like, someone's in the room.

151
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: I'm screaming. I'm waking you up. The idea of being

152
00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: in four full, twenty four hour periods of total darkness

153
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: is terrifying. How long what's the over under on Lauren

154
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: Zima in this room? How long? What do you mean

155
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: in the hours? Could you make it a day? If

156
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: I was able to just pull the plug, I would

157
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: giet it maybe an hour. I don't know. I'd lose

158
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: all sense of time. I also can't handle the idea

159
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: of not talking to anybody for four days. Like the

160
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: guy who runs the retreat will stop by and just

161
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: check on you. He checks on the guests. By the way,

162
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: the door is not locked. You are in control. There

163
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: is a light switch. The room is fully powered. You

164
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 1: can flip on the lights. You can walk outside, you

165
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: can walk in the woods. But the idea is to

166
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: put yourself in the uncomfortable and live in the uncomfortable.

167
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: And what Aaron was saying, and what others that do

168
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: this say is it is working on those six inches

169
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: between the ears. It's about putting yourself in the uncomfortable

170
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 1: and not reaching for your phone, reaching for food, reaching

171
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: for exercise, reaching for whatever that breaks that uncomfortability. You

172
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: got to live in it and sit in it. Sometimes

173
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: I get scared about if I do experiences like this,

174
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: like what might break in my brain or something. That's

175
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: what scares me a little bit. But then I also

176
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: see what you're saying. Okay, I didn't know he could

177
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: take a walk in the woods. That makes if I

178
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: could get outside, although then I'd be afraid somebody to

179
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 1: be in the woods. Anyway, This is also like we

180
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: could really dig into how this is Like a huge

181
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: part of this is how women are raised with so

182
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,959
Speaker 1: much more fear and instilled with fear and to be

183
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: afraid than men are. Yeah, I mean, pretty valid point.

184
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: The only other person I saw that did this was

185
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: this guy that crossed Antarctica and has summited Everest twice.

186
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: He goes there religiously and as seven day stints in

187
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: this room. Okay, so would you do this? I think

188
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: it would be interesting. And so you know a Aaron's look,

189
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: he's thirty nine years old, he's done. He went down

190
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: to Peru and did what hyahuasca? The psychedelic. Yeah, the psychedelic.

191
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: So he's been known to do these things, and this

192
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: is just another step as he's trying to figure out,

193
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: by the way, if he's coming back to Green Bay,

194
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: and if he does, he's due fifty nine point four

195
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: million dollars. I don't have to sit one day in

196
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: the dark to just come back and pick up sixty mils.

197
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: But this is what Aaron has done to contemplate his

198
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: future and put himself in that uncomfortable position. He is

199
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: an interesting guy. So would you do this? I have

200
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: been to a silent monastery, you have. Okay, look at this.

201
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 1: The mystery unfolds. I did not know. I was on

202
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: the board of my church. This was back in California.

203
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 1: And you go up to this where the monks are

204
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: in Santa Barbara, and you live in silence among the

205
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: monks for one to three days. And so there are

206
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: times that you speak when you're in prayer or whatever.

207
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: But for the most part, the entire places in silence

208
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: you have. You have no phone, no reception, We're not

209
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: in the dark, and there are other humans around and

210
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: you're eating, but that's it. So I think it's pretty liberating.

211
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: It's pretty interesting. What did you take away from that?

212
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: You just spent a lot of time and thought, But

213
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: what did you takeaway? What did you learn about yourself

214
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 1: or what did you what was your big takeaway that

215
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: you would remember. I've always been a believer that you

216
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 1: need to be comfortable with yourself, by yourself, within yourself.

217
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: I've always believed that It's what honestly got me through

218
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: the Bachelor and Batch rec because I traveled so much

219
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 1: of the time by myself. I would often not go

220
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: with the cast, so I would be by myself traveling

221
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: for days, wouldn't speak to anybody, and became very comfortable,

222
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: almost too comfortable with that. I think it's important to

223
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: have that spirituality, to be able to go within yourself

224
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: and be silent. It's a powerful thing. Well, this does

225
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: I did do And first of all, I just I

226
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: can't believe I never knew this. We've we've got to

227
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: go on a long date and keep learning about each other. No,

228
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: I did do the hiking retreat that I did in

229
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: the fall, and I told you one of my takeaways

230
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: from that. Now it was on a much smaller scale.

231
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 1: We did these hikes every day, these twelve mile hikes,

232
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 1: and if anybody follows me on Instagram, I was doing

233
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: ten k a day, ten thousand steps a day to

234
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: prepare for that. What I was preparing for was twelve

235
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: miles a day of hiking. And on the last day,

236
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: they purposely spaced us out on the hike so that

237
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: we had to hike alone, that you couldn't walk and

238
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: talk with somebody else, And so I hiked by myself

239
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 1: for a couple hours. And actually that was a big

240
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: learning moment for me, because something I do think I

241
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: have to work on is like being okay in the silence,

242
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: being okay with myself. I always think my mind goes

243
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: crazy and I need to talk to people. And I

244
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: did walk away from that thinking, wow, I enjoyed being

245
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 1: by myself and I like experiences that push you to change.

246
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: So I'm totally in for this. I have to say.

247
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: What scared me about the Errand thing was the darkness.

248
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: I couldn't be in the darkness for four days. That's

249
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: what's interesting is and again there are breaks from it,

250
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: but to be enveloped in that darkness and there is

251
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: no reception, that's a lot. Although well, you made a

252
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: good point, and I will say we were talking about

253
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: this a little bit before the pod. You said, we

254
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: do have to put in our minds the perspective that

255
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, the level of fame he has, the level

256
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: of money, he's like got it, Like you said, figure

257
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: out what he wants. He might need some silence. There's

258
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: a lot of step out a lambeau Field where there

259
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: are hundreds of thousands of people screaming and yelling, you know,

260
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: and to break away from that and just be quiet.

261
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 1: I respect that. He's a very interesting guy. I've met

262
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: Aaron on a number of occasions. The first time I

263
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 1: met him, this is true story, really bizarre. I was

264
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: at Bellair Country Club in LA playing golf with a

265
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: friend of mine and he says, hey, do you mind

266
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: if this other guy joins us. It was Aaron Rodgers.

267
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: This is pre Jojo and Jordan being on the show.

268
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: He was dating Olivium on He says, hey, I had

269
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 1: a bizarre connection to oliviam On through Oklahoma, and she said, Yo,

270
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: she speaks highly of you. We love the show, we

271
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: watch it. He was a pretty religious watcher of The Bachelor.

272
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: He and oliviam On and we talked a little bit

273
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: about it and all that had had a good time.

274
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: Flash forward a year later Jojo season of The Bachelorette.

275
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: Jordan Rodgers his brother. It kind of comes to light

276
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: that he is estranged from his family. He doesn't speak

277
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: to Jordan or his family, and we kind of blew

278
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: up Aaron's life a little bit in that regard. Then

279
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: I see him at another Gulf event at and T

280
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: Pebble Beach. We're up at Pebble and I specifically sought

281
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: him out when we were private and there were no

282
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: cameras around. I didn't know if he was going to

283
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: choke me out, punch me whatever. I was like, hey,

284
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: are we okay because I kind of blew your life up?

285
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: And he says, none, no, man, We're all good. Don't

286
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: worry about it, and he was actually very generous and

287
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: kind about it. I see these two sides of him,

288
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: and I find it very interesting in your take on this.

289
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: I love Jordan Rodgers. I like Aaron Rodgers. They're both

290
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: good guys. Yeah, you know, Aaron's a little eccentric and

291
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: little you know, kookie, but who cares. He's not hurting anybody.

292
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: So I find it interesting that if I didn't know

293
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: them as brother and I was at a bar with

294
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: Jordan Rodgers and Aaron walked in, I would get up,

295
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: give Aaron a high five, give him a hug, and say, hey, man,

296
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: come meet this guy. Jordan. He's a quo. He played

297
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: he played football as well, and you should talk. Yeah,

298
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: y'all should talk. You're really going to connect. If you

299
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: took away what they are angry, whatever happened, they would

300
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: actually probably be friends if they ran into each other.

301
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: I just I thought of that as very odd. Yeah, well,

302
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: I mean we have to remember we don't know what

303
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: we don't know. There's probably there's history, so many layers

304
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: to that and things that have happened that we have

305
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: no idea about, even though we know and love Jojo

306
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: and Jordan. Yeah, gosh, it's so hard because family estrangements

307
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: are something that I don't think we talk about that

308
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: much in our culture. It has this kind of faux

309
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: paw to it and get So many people I know,

310
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: including myself, have like family members that they don't talk

311
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: to or haven't seen or are estranged from. And the

312
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: thing that's tough about family is, on the one hand,

313
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: you think to yourself, well, gosh, it's family, you know,

314
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: can't you just work it out. Can't we put it

315
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: aside whatever it was and figure it out. And then

316
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: on the other hand, our family, these are not people

317
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: who we choose, you know, your friends or people you choose,

318
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: your family you're born into. And just because someone's your

319
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: family member doesn't mean you're going to get along with them.

320
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: So I see both sides of it. I also wonder

321
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: sometimes maybe and hopefully you know, there's a time heals

322
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: all wounds. Factor. Our familial relationships are so long in

323
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: our lives, and I don't think any family member can

324
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: go through years and years without having a fight or

325
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: an issue, although you and I talk about that a lot.

326
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: I fight with my family so much more than Chris doesn't.

327
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's it's interesting. I wonder, I wonder if

328
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: anything will ever change there, because everybody in that situation

329
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: seems great. Um, although you know, we certainly don't know, right, Yeah,

330
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: we don't know the real score. Yeah, yeah, and that's

331
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: not for us to know unless they want to come

332
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: on the show. And I'll have them both on and

333
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 1: let's patch this. Let's bring this family back together. Another

334
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 1: major headline that hit this week that hit close to

335
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: home literally in figurative. Where did it hit? Hit? Honestly

336
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 1: a little bit below the belt. This headline hits a

337
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: little bit below the belt. My old friend Dean, Dean

338
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: Anglert from Bachelor, Bachelor, Paradise fame. I think Dean's most

339
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: known for Bachelor and Paradise. Yes, don't you remember Dean

340
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: was like, I mean he and Kaylin are together now.

341
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, wasn't Dean the original? He was like the

342
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 1: start of all that f boy stuff. Yeah, but his

343
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: hometown really made news. That's on the show too during

344
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 1: the Bachelorette he was. But regardless, Dean now engaged to Klin.

345
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: This we're going from like one eccentric story in one

346
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: of centric guy to the next because Aaron Rodgers and

347
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 1: Dean are a little bit similar in that way, the quirkiness,

348
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 1: Like right now we would be talking to Dean about

349
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: this story we're about to talk about, except he's an Antarctica. Oh, yes,

350
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: you couldn't get a hold of him because he's an Antarctica.

351
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 1: You actually tried to get in touch with him, right,

352
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,719
Speaker 1: He's always in a van somewhere. He's in a van

353
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: somewhere way south of the border anyway. So the story

354
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 1: is this, Dean went on a podcast and was saying

355
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: how he feels it shouldn't be just incumbent upon the

356
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: woman for now. I think it started with Kaylin, just

357
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: to be clear. Kaylin went on their podcast and said

358
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: that Dean has told her he doesn't think the birth

359
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: control should all fall on the woman, and so he

360
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: thinks maybe he should get of a sectomy now because

361
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: they're not ready to have kids yet, and then it

362
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: would he would just undo it and get a reversal

363
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: when it's time to have kids. Now, I think he's

364
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 1: taken this a little further now and actually spoken to

365
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: a doctor about it. But Dean, that is not the

366
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: birth control you're looking for. There are others at the pharmacy.

367
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: There's a whole aisle where you can put things on

368
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: where things Okay, wait, I have to call you out

369
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: on this right now. I think that what Dean's saying

370
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: is very right, It is all in the woman, I

371
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: will say, and I haven't. If Dean's had a conversation

372
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 1: with the doctor, I haven't listened to that. My first

373
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: reaction was, Okay, wait, I gotta go research this because

374
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 1: I mean, if a sectum, he's a pretty serious surgery, right,

375
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: and how and most importantly, how successful are the reversals,

376
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: because you don't want to go have a surgical procedure

377
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,919
Speaker 1: where you might then never be able to have kids.

378
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: But I will say that, Okay, for example, I know

379
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: a lot of women who have IDs getting an IUD,

380
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: and I don't have one. But getting an IUD, from

381
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 1: what I've heard from all my good friends, is so painful.

382
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 1: It is. I mean, I have had women say that

383
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 1: they think you should go on they wish they'd gotten

384
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: to go under for it because it's super painful. And

385
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 1: so that's not nothing. And women taking birth control pills

386
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: every day for months or years of their lives, that

387
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: comes with major risks. I mean, it's hard. There's birth control,

388
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 1: while so important, every option comes with the downside. Dean's

389
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: not wrong, but he's also not right. Okay, why don't

390
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: you just tell everybody just be real? Chris Harrison about

391
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: why you said it hits below the best. This is

392
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 1: an operation I'm I'm very familiar with. I went through

393
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: this operation post my two kids, so I've been there

394
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: and done that. And the operation itself not a big deal. Really,

395
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 1: I probably shouldn't say that that way, but it's not.

396
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: It's really not a big deal. How do you mean

397
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: it just it's not it's not painful, it's not that uncomfortable.

398
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 1: It's just you get it done. It's i mean, probably

399
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,479
Speaker 1: took thirty forty five minutes. They put a little booboo

400
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: strip on you and you go. You know, they pull

401
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: your vast deference two about they cut it, they carterize it.

402
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 1: And here's the problem. I also know people who have

403
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 1: gotten reversals. The reversal is painful, it is much more

404
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: of a laborious project. I'm not a doctor. I have

405
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 1: played one on TV for twenty years, but I'm not

406
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: a doctor. But I do know plenty of people because

407
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: I am of that age where a lot of my

408
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: friends have done this, some have gotten reversals. Yes, it hurts,

409
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: and the pain thing, it's not a big deal. I'm

410
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: not saying don't do it for the pain, but it's

411
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: also not. It's not. And I know I don't know

412
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: what the averages are. I don't know what the percentages are.

413
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,360
Speaker 1: But I know two guys that I talked to this

414
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 1: week I played golf with. Both tried to have reversals.

415
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: Both did not work. One had to go in twice

416
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 1: and the other guy just didn't work. There's a famous broadcaster, sportscaster.

417
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 1: He tried to get a reversal. He told me about it.

418
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 1: So it is much it's a much more intensive project

419
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 1: to try. And because when they cut your vast deference

420
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 1: tubes and they literally carterize it, you're smoking. It's like

421
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 1: think of a welder. They're welding it shut. So they

422
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 1: got to find those two water and connect them. So

423
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 1: it's not just as easy as hey, I'm gonna cut

424
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: these Yeah, I'm gonna turn the spicket off for a

425
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 1: little bit and then we'll turn it back on when

426
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 1: we want to have kids. So I again, Dean, you're

427
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: not wrong. I appreciate what he's saying, and you're right.

428
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: It shouldn't just be on the woman, and it shouldn't

429
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: be that you can't go through a little uncomfortable pain

430
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 1: or whatever to get this done and be there. But

431
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,479
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're right in this is the

432
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: correct path for you if you really want to have

433
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: kids soon. So when you were saying, Dean, there are

434
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: other methods of birth control available, what you were trying

435
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 1: to say A condom? Okay, I mean put on a condom.

436
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: They got lots of them. It's just an easier way

437
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: to go. Well, look, I was doing some light googling. Again,

438
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: I'm no expert, but I saw one doctor talking about

439
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: how like eighty five percent success right on the reversals,

440
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: which is high, but still do you want it to

441
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're if you've never had kids and

442
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: you're doing this as your birth control method, it sounds

443
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: like you would not want to go to the sectomy

444
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: route when you're you'd then only have an eighty five

445
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: percent chance of If you had told me when I

446
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: was twenty five, twenty whatever, when I knew I was

447
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 1: going to have children, that I wanted to have children,

448
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 1: that was a part of my life plan, if you

449
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: had said, hey, go through this, it's going to knock

450
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 1: fifteen to twenty percent off your chance of having a kid.

451
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 1: It's already kind of difficult enough for many couples to

452
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: have children. As you know, that's not knocking. Fifteen to

453
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 1: twenty percent off is a big deal, Like, that's not

454
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: not a percentage I would be willing to take. Well, everyone,

455
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: you know, we thought we were talking about Dean and

456
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 1: his dramatic headlines, but now Chris Harrison has revealed he

457
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: had a vasectomy. And on that note, we're gonna snip

458
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 1: this and take a break. When we come back talking

459
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: to Farmer Wants a Wife host Jennifer Nettles, I will

460
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: not bring up my vasectomy. And one of the farmers,

461
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: Hunter Grayson, going to join me on the show. We'll

462
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: be right back. Welcome back to the most dramatic podcast ever.

Speaker 1: Chris Harrison here. The new show on Fox is Farmer

00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: Once a Wife. The new host is Country icon Jennifer Nettles.

465
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: A move I didn't see coming, but a move I love.

466
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 1: And she joins us now on the pod. Jennifer, thank

467
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,959
Speaker 1: you so much for being here, Thank you for having me.

468
00:24:56,119 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 1: We are you? Are you in Nashville? No, I'm home.

469
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: I'm in New York. Oh, New York. New York is home.

470
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: New York is home. Really not a Southern girl, Well

471
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: a southern girl at heart where I lay my head

472
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,719
Speaker 1: happens to be in the big city. We're down here

473
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: in Austin, Texas. So we love our country music. And

474
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 1: I have been a huge fan of admirer of you

475
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: in your music. But I love seeing you on Farmer

476
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 1: One's a Wife. My one nitpick about the show not

477
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: enough Jennifer Nettles, You know what, That's what I said too.

478
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 1: This show is great, but I'm just gonna get a

479
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:42,439
Speaker 1: little more me. I'm glad. I'm glad you feel that way,

480
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: you know what. I'm producers, if you're listening, hey here,

481
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: from one reality show host to another, it's probably just

482
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 1: triggering to me because I fought those battles every day

483
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 1: as well. Do you guys realize how funny I was?

484
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:00,360
Speaker 1: That's right, don't you know? Don't you know? Yeah? But one,

485
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:02,439
Speaker 1: but one thing I really do want to see more of,

486
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 1: and hopefully we'll get there, and I've only seen the

487
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 1: first episode was this relationship, and I'm curious. I had

488
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: a very interesting relationship with the Bachelor Bacherette because I

489
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 1: had one person to worry about, and that was something

490
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: that we fostered in the whole show was about one person.

491
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: You're obviously dealing with four farmers across the country. Not

492
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: so easy for you. So how was your relationship with

493
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 1: the four farmers and how did you feel you were

494
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: being used in that way? So the format is obviously

495
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: a bit different than what you describe in your experience,

496
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 1: and for good reason, because there are four different farmers.

497
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 1: That being said, the majority of my interaction and connection

498
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: was when everyone came together. Yeah, and we came together

499
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: every episode for these big social events. Okay, so that

500
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: was the majority of my interaction, which was I considered

501
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: I consider myself more like a fairy godmother kind of

502
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 1: role where I get that yeah right, you know where

503
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: I come in, and I like pat them on the

504
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: especially for the guys, especially for the guys in this scenario,

505
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: because these are four guys. They are they are real

506
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 1: life farmers. They are they have dedicated their lives to

507
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 1: their work, which means where farming is concerned, it is

508
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 1: very demanding. And they live in small towns, you know.

509
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:31,479
Speaker 1: The joke that they've made is like, look, I know

510
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 1: all the women in this town and I'm related to

511
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,479
Speaker 1: half of them, So like, what's a guy to do? Um?

512
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: So that being said, that then you put them in

513
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:45,360
Speaker 1: this environment where they've never had, you know, possibly one

514
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: woman on their farm, much less a whole group of them. Okay,

515
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: and there's cameras, and it's as as delicate of a

516
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 1: subject as love. So it's super exposing and super vulnerable.

517
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 1: So these guys needs the couragement, Like, all right, they're

518
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: also really good freaking guys, Chris, here's here's there. They're

519
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 1: like really nice people, so they don't want to hurt

520
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: anybody's feelings. So the entirety of the time, it's just like, Okay,

521
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: I know you don't want to hurt anybody's feelings and

522
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: say that you have more of a connection with one

523
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: than the other. But you can't live forever on your

524
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: farm with eight women. I'm sorry, Like it's you just can't.

525
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: Well did you notice that that change, because obviously that's

526
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: something that each Batcher and Batchette has the toughest time with.

527
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 1: It's oddly those early we call them rose ceremonies, by

528
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 1: the way, what did you guys call them? That? The

529
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,360
Speaker 1: hay bale ceremony, the round up? Well, and there isn't

530
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: that that's another that's another distinction that it's not the same.

531
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: There really isn't a ceremonial moment. It can happen at

532
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: any point in the show. I was just wondering what

533
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: you guys called it early on as everybody got together. Um,

534
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: but I did you find that, not that they've become

535
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: more calloused, but you almost become better at breaking up

536
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: because you realize at the end of the day, like

537
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: you said, you're not going to have eight wives, You're

538
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: not going to have that many, So you are there

539
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: to meet one. You're there to meet the love of

540
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 1: your life. Did you find it got easier for them?

541
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: Were you able to facilitate that better as time went on?

542
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: I found that it did get easier. I found that

543
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: at the very least, I think they became more comfortable.

544
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if I would say easy, but they

545
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: definitely became more comfortable and more experienced slash more practiced

546
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: at realizing Like, look, guys, there is a timeline structure here.

547
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: I know it is a reality show, but the the

548
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: you know it is we do have a show to make, right. Yeah,

549
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: I'm curious. Obviously, great call by Fox and by the

550
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: production team to call you to do this. You are

551
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: a natural fit. What made you want to do it

552
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: because obviously you have the sky's a limit for your

553
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 1: your career. You're crushing it in the country music world

554
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: when they call you, what was it about this that

555
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: you said, Yeah, you know what, I'm going to go

556
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: do reality t You know, I've done a little bit

557
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: of it here and there before. But really, for me,

558
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: what got me with this show is, you know, as

559
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: a as an artist, as a storyteller, I love telling stories,

560
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: and I love and as a romantic, I love a

561
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: love story. Okay, so who doesn't. So this I really

562
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: as I had learned more about the concept and saw,

563
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: you know, a few of the episodes from other shows

564
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: in other countries that they've done, I really felt like,

565
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: this is my opportunity to facilitate someone else's love story,

566
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: and I love being that kind of observer. For me

567
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: as an artist, I definitely pull from that, you know, observationally,

568
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: but to get to actually be a part of it

569
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: with someone, even if it's just adjacent, I felt like

570
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: that was a really fun opportunity. Well, and you've been

571
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: in the trenches before. You have loved publicly, you have lost,

572
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: you've been divorced, you've been remarried, so you have been

573
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: on that coaster ride, which I think is important as

574
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: a host because you have to truly be empathetic and

575
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: understand what are these people looking for, what are they

576
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: scared of, what are they afraid of in all of this,

577
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: So it makes you a better host. Oddly, the crazier

578
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: stuff you've been through personally. Yeah, I mean, and I

579
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: don't even know if I would says it's the crazier

580
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: because when we look at the majority of people, you

581
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: just life, it's just like it's just for people. But

582
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: I will say, you know, the more challenging and therefore

583
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: on the other side of it enriching. I think that

584
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: does add a patina, or it adds a level of

585
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: grounding where you're able to then offer something experientially that

586
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: feels authentic to someone who might be searching and struggling

587
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: within that kind of scenario where love is concerned. So

588
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: I said the same thing. I oddly was hired because

589
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: I was married and had a child at the time.

590
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 1: But I felt like I became a better host once

591
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: I got divorced and realized, oh, this is what's out there,

592
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: this is how hard it is to date. Yeah, and

593
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:11,959
Speaker 1: also I think you know, it's just the older I get, Chris,

594
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: the more I realize that I have gone into way

595
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: darker caves and therefore come out way more enriched, with

596
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: way more skills than I ever did in my youth. Right,

597
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: And not to say because at the time everything feels

598
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: you know, when you're geting it, everything feels big. But

599
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: as I look back, the stakes as we get older,

600
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: become higher and higher. But so do you know, so

601
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: do the rewards. And so I feel like, yeah, that's

602
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 1: that's valuable, man. And that's what's beautiful because we start

603
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: seeing that in your music, you start seeing it in

604
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: your hosting skills, in your life. And I'm sure this

605
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: has poured out into the pages of your music. Has

606
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: there been some correlation or some kind of crossover into

607
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: your music from all this and this experience? I mean,

608
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: of course, I always you know, there are some there's

609
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,959
Speaker 1: some of my music that is confessional, there's some of

610
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: it that is observational, there's some of it that is

611
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: absolutely fictitious. Um. But but I but you know, as

612
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: as an artist, we can't help but put our own

613
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: parts of ourselves into it. I may not understand what

614
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: a specific scenario is, but I definitely understand my version

615
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 1: of what the emotion behind it is. So all of that,

616
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: all of that life experience, for sure, it becomes what

617
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: I draw from as a writer and as as a

618
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: performer and as an artist or as a host, you know,

619
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: all of it. We pull from all of it. It

620
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: is interesting and I'm curious about your your idea of

621
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: what it was going to be like to host a

622
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: reality show and what it turned out to be. We know,

623
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: I did a little bit of it with this show

624
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: back what eleven years ago, UM called Duets very different.

625
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 1: It wasn't it wasn't romance reality, it wasn't dating reality.

626
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 1: It was like music competition reality. So I desert that

627
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,359
Speaker 1: I did go big show. I was a judge on that.

628
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 1: Um so, so some of that live in the moment

629
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 1: element of it. You know, I definitely love and can

630
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 1: feed off of that. But but never having done um

631
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:29,959
Speaker 1: the dating shows and the romantic shows, I wasn't necessarily surprised,

632
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 1: but I was happy to feel the connections that I

633
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: did when I was like invested myself, you know what

634
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like, Oh, if I always felt if I cared,

635
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: then the people watching are going to care. Well, there

636
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 1: you go. And that's true. That's true because at the

637
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: end of the day, it's like we're all and I

638
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 1: say this as a fan, whether I'm listening to music,

639
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: watching television, a movie, or whatever it maybe we all

640
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 1: want to see elements of our own humanity within that.

641
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: So when when the person who is in the role

642
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: as a host is invested, you can be invested too,

643
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: especially if you trust that host. You know, and are

644
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: you a big fan? Are you a big country fan?

645
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: In that, do you try to see who's on the horizon,

646
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 1: who's up and coming, or do you just listen to

647
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 1: your old your old favorites, M a little bit of everything.

648
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm you know, now because of social media,

649
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 1: I definitely get more information about who's on the horizon.

650
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 1: And with the way just simply with the way that

651
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: those algorithms work, I know, with the way that the

652
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:34,839
Speaker 1: algorithms work, you know, they know what you like, they

653
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 1: know what you listen to, and they're going to offer

654
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 1: you some more of it that they think you're gonna like. Um,

655
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 1: some of which I do and some of which I don't.

656
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: I'm always watching my peers in terms of who they

657
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: also might be championing um so a little bit of both.

658
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: But I listen, I am definitely I'm going to age

659
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: myself here when I say this, but I'm definitely of

660
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: the age where, yeah, I love going back and listening

661
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: to what I have always loved listening to, which which

662
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:03,359
Speaker 1: is who oh my god, so many. I mean like

663
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: it depends like Linda Ronstad, uh Stevie Nicks, the Indigo Girls,

664
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 1: Indigo Girls, all right, nineties baby right there, Oh, big time,

665
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 1: big time, big time, you know, and then and on that.

666
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 1: I could go off on a whole agent. We could

667
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 1: get into RM, we could get into Tory Amos, we

668
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: could get into we could go you liked a little

669
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 1: alternative back in the day, Oh totally. You were like

670
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: back into depeche Mode and Dran Durana you two, and

671
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 1: loving all of it, Okay, new wave, old way, all

672
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, I was. I was into all that

673
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: the cure forget about it. I mean, like loved, loved,

674
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,319
Speaker 1: but I love all music and I still do. I

675
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 1: still do. But you know, in terms of when I

676
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 1: think about country, then I would probably go back to

677
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: the nineties too, you know, and I would look at

678
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: the Shannias and the Faiths and the Dixie Chicks and

679
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: you know, and and the Garths. Oh yeah, Martina McBride,

680
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: we can go on nineties Ladies for forever. Trishi, Trisha

681
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: Yearwood was killing it, when Kathy mattea Carpenter who I

682
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 1: still love, Oh my god, Nancy Griffin, Patty Griffin. I mean,

683
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 1: let's was there a place that when you it may

684
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: not be like Madison Square Garden or someplace huge, but

685
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: was there a place when you played there you thought

686
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,399
Speaker 1: I did it? Like this is the place, Like I'm

687
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: here in Austin, Texas, so you know, whether it's Greenhall,

688
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: maybe you play a cl live or there's just certain

689
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: haunts around here that people play and you're like, this

690
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 1: has always been the place for me? What what bar?

691
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: What place was that for you? I mean I grew

692
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,320
Speaker 1: up cutting my teeth in a little listening room in Atlanta,

693
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 1: really Decatur, Georgia called Eddie's Attic, and that place is

694
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: a gem of a space. But it's tiny. It's like tiny, tiny, tiny,

695
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: little listening room space. And that's where I started out.

696
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 1: But so many artists continue to flock to that, you know,

697
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,839
Speaker 1: almost in pilgrimage. All that being said, for me in

698
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: terms of what you know might be more well known,

699
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 1: I would say a couple of things. Red Rocks for sure,

700
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:15,760
Speaker 1: Iconic um Sesame Street. Wow, Okay, didn't see that coming.

701
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: Yeah when because I you know, I grew up watching

702
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 1: Sesame Street and all of these artists that I loved

703
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 1: were there. Okay, everybody, James Tabe, You're right, everybody. And

704
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 1: so when I got on Sesame Street, I just I

705
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 1: don't know, it held such meaning to me. I don't

706
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,720
Speaker 1: know if that sounds no, No, I love that answer,

707
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: but it's true. So so I and that shows also

708
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 1: to the spectrum in this wide, wild career that you know,

709
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 1: everything from Red Rocks to you know, to to Sesame

710
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 1: Street is just wild. I think Kennedy Center Honors was

711
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 1: huge for me when I I got to honor. I

712
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: got to perform on that twice, one honoring um Neil

713
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:09,399
Speaker 1: Diamond and the other Bruce Springsteen. I just saw him

714
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: here in Austin last week at the Moody Center, seventy

715
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:17,399
Speaker 1: three years old and just killing it, killing the game,

716
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 1: I mean crushed it. And the King, George Strait is

717
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 1: the one who came on and introduced him. It was

718
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 1: a great night. Oh my god. So I now that

719
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 1: I know your musical taste, was Red Rocks a big

720
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 1: deal for you because of the YouTube video? Totally? Totally.

721
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 1: I wanted the smoke, the red, all of it, all

722
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 1: of it. That's funny. Go back, kids, go google YouTube

723
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 1: and Red Rocks and the famous video. That's that's very funny.

724
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: So one thing about hosting a reality show like Pharmer

725
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 1: once a wife, your love life and your private life

726
00:39:55,120 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 1: becomes more open, or at least that's what people expect, right,

727
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 1: So have you found that? Have you found a lot

728
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: more interviews? People are asking because you seem to be

729
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: a little private about your love life this go around private. Yeah,

730
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 1: I'm super private about it. But at the same time,

731
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 1: while you know, I have some things that are protectively

732
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 1: off limits for me, myself, my heart is very open,

733
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 1: so you know, where sharing the matters of the heart

734
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: without trying to get into like weird celebrity details that

735
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 1: people just want to know, which I don't even want

736
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 1: to know that about other people, but okay, some people do.

737
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:40,359
Speaker 1: I definitely feel open when I share. When I share

738
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:42,399
Speaker 1: it from that context, you know what I'm saying from

739
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: the context of But did that change. You were married

740
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:50,840
Speaker 1: once before, were you more open in that affair relationship

741
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,319
Speaker 1: than your second marriage? Like, did you learn something from

742
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 1: that first one where you're like, Okay, next time, I'm

743
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 1: gonna kind of keep the door a little closed. No,

744
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 1: I mean the ways that it's happened for me over

745
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 1: my career where where that you know, that graph of

746
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 1: my personal life and my work life I've intersected. The

747
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,800
Speaker 1: timing of it has been such that I've I've never

748
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 1: been one to be super out there in terms of

749
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: my private life. I just feel like, you know, for me,

750
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 1: I put myself into my work so much, and the

751
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 1: people that I love I want to protect them and

752
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 1: they don't need to be subjected to that. And I've

753
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 1: always been like that. To see what's next for you

760
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:53,839
Speaker 1: just announced it and they're trying to keep everything else

761
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: under wraps, but it's it's I can't wait for everybody

762
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 1: to see it. And it has been so enriching and rewarding,

763
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 1: so we get to see a dark side of Jennifer Nettles.

764
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: M I love it. And then what else, you know,

765
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 1: I'm working on a musical that I've been working on

766
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 1: for years. It has become Chris what I call my

767
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 1: great White Whale. It is my Mobe Dick. Okay, I

768
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 1: am obsessed. I am, and it's too at critical mass

769
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 1: right now where it's it's I've spend most of my

770
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: creative time on that. So you've reached that tipping point.

771
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 1: We're doing this. This is going oh yeah, oh yeah,

772
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 1: it's happening, and it's like, you know, it has picked

773
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: up momentum as it has started to circle. So it's like, okay,

774
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 1: like it is. It's it's getting ready for whatever the

775
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 1: next phase is. But it is definitely that's been a

776
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:46,760
Speaker 1: long and rewarding process and by nature, those are quite

777
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 1: timely to right. So those are those are a couple

778
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 1: of things. Obviously righteous gemstones on HBO that I do.

779
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 1: We finished our third season that should be out I

780
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 1: think the summer. Maybe, I don't know. If they've announced

781
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 1: when that's happening. But yeah, so a few things coming

782
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 1: up and then play a little country music on the

783
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 1: side and host a reality show. Been a little bit

784
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,280
Speaker 1: of country music and yep, I'll be in your homes

785
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 1: every night that you will, I don't know, click it

786
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 1: or stream it. Jennifer, we have never had the pleasure

787
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 1: of meeting, and I'm so glad you took the time

788
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:19,720
Speaker 1: to come on. You are an absolute gem and I really,

789
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 1: honestly I mean this. I really enjoyed you on Farmer

790
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 1: Wants a Wife. I think you did a great job.

791
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 1: You fit in for someone who's I know you've kind

792
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:28,399
Speaker 1: of dabbled in it, but to step into that role

793
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 1: it's not easy, and it's easy to look like a

794
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 1: fish out of water, and you didn't. You look really

795
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:35,359
Speaker 1: comfortable you That means a lot coming from you, Chris,

796
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:37,680

801
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:56,840
Speaker 1: The host of Farmer Wants a Wife. Farmer Wants a Wife.

802
00:43:57,160 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 1: There's four cowboys in there. Coming up next. One of

803
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:03,399
Speaker 1: those cowboys, Hunter Grayson, is going to join us right

804
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 1: after this. Welcome back to the most dramatic podcast ever.

805
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,840
Speaker 1: Chris Harrison and we just talked to the amazing Jennifer Nettles,

806
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 1: the host of Farmer Wants a Wife. Well, I wanted

807
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 1: to talk to one of the farmers. What was it

808
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:29,479
Speaker 1: like to be one of the four joining us from

809
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 1: I assume Georgia, Hunter Grayson. He's out there on the farm. Hunter.

810
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 1: How are you doing, Bud? I'm doing pretty good. How

811
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 1: are you doing? If anybody thinks that this show is

812
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 1: not legit, trust me. I've been waiting on Hunter for

813
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes because I don't know where you are. But

814
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,799
Speaker 1: he has no service. He has no wireless internet. The

815
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:54,360
Speaker 1: poor guy can't even get in to do a podcast.

816
00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: I had some cows get out telling him I had

817
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:03,360
Speaker 1: a podcast. Apparently not a good enough excuse for the bovine.

818
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 1: They didn't seem to care at all about the fact

819
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 1: that you had an interview to do. Hey man, congratulations,

820
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 1: it's really good to meet you. Watch the first episode

821
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:16,799
Speaker 1: and really had a lot of fun. As a Texas guy,

822
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 1: I relate to this show as I think a lot

823
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 1: of people in the Heartland will. What was your first

824
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 1: take when you heard about the concept and how did

825
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 1: you get involved? Did someone initially bring you up or

826
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 1: did you actually go and try this out yourself? Initially

827
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 1: I was approached for being on the show, and you know,

828
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 1: at the time, I was single and just there hadn't

829
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:47,359
Speaker 1: been a whole lot of luck in the dating world

830
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 1: prior to and so you know, but you know all two, Well,

831
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 1: so I'll just kind of like, why not try it

832
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:56,880
Speaker 1: on TV? Yeah, well, it reminded me of I used

833
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 1: to host a show called The Bachelor, and we did

834
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 1: a season with this guy, Chris Souls, who was a

835
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 1: farmer out in Iowa. And I went to his house

836
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:07,919
Speaker 1: and so I know, when you say you are out there,

837
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:10,759
Speaker 1: you guys are out there. I mean, where is the

838
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 1: next big town from your house? If you got in

839
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:16,799
Speaker 1: a car right now you wanted to go have a

840
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:22,479
Speaker 1: good meal, how far are we driving? Oh, you wanted

841
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 1: an average meal, you could go the Athens, Georgia. It's

842
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:30,240
Speaker 1: about fifteen minutes for me. Atlanta's about an hour, So well,

843
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 1: actually Atlanta's an hour from Atlanta, so it just depends

844
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:36,800
Speaker 1: on drafting. So not easy for a guy like you

845
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:43,839
Speaker 1: to find love, no, sir, And they bring you on

846
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 1: this show, And what was the process like at first?

847
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:51,800
Speaker 1: Because I know you guys did some whittling down before

848
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 1: that first episode. How many women did they show you?

849
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 1: What was your process like going through and trying to

850
00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 1: figure out that initial eight that you started with. Oh goodness, Uh,

851
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 1: that was pretty grueling. If I'm gonna be you know,

852
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 1: straightforward and honest. It's We were presented with some profiles

853
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 1: of some just stunning ladies, and we kind of got

854
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 1: a little brief bio about them and where they were from,

855
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:22,759
Speaker 1: and just you know, just kind of got kind of

856
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 1: a foot in the door about who we might be meeting,

857
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 1: and we had to sort through the ones that we

858
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 1: thought were going to work better on our individual farms

859
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 1: and ranches. And it was kind of, you know, almost

860
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 1: like a dating profile that we sifted through originally and

861
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:42,279
Speaker 1: sorted it down to the ones we got to meet.

862
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:46,959
Speaker 1: And sparks flew from there. And you go from being

863
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:52,279
Speaker 1: single on your farm there in Watkinsville, Georgia, and now

864
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 1: you have five women who you do not know and

865
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:58,320
Speaker 1: you really have never met other than the one speed

866
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:05,239
Speaker 1: dating moment, and you're gonna move them onto your farm. Well, Chris,

867
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:07,319
Speaker 1: I would say I've done crazier things in life, but

868
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 1: I don't know that that would be the most truthful

869
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 1: thing I've ever said. Yeah, it was a it's been

870
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:20,760
Speaker 1: an eye opening experiences U Thus far, it's been a

871
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,759
Speaker 1: phenomenal ride, and I'm just really looking forward to what

872
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 1: it has laid ahead. What was the most awkward part?

873
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: You know, because you know when on other shows there's

874
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 1: a mansion, there's a resort, you know, it's it's a

875
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:37,360
Speaker 1: curated experience. This experience, you're going straight to the hometown,

876
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:41,319
Speaker 1: straight to Hunter's actual farm in his house. So what

877
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:43,800
Speaker 1: was the most awkward part of opening up your life

878
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:50,839
Speaker 1: like that to these ladies and national television. You know, Uh,

879
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:54,719
Speaker 1: that's a great question. It's I thought a lot about that,

880
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:57,759
Speaker 1: and I think that's that answer changes on a on

881
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 1: the daily, but it um, you know, I let the

882
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 1: ladies live in my house. I actually live in an

883
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 1: apartment over the top of my bar, and I saw

884
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 1: a barn minium, and I let the ladies live in

885
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:13,840
Speaker 1: my house. And I lived in my rodeo trailer, which is,

886
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 1: you know, just a living quarters horse trailer, and that

887
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,839
Speaker 1: was a big adjust to me. I was. I moved

888
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 1: from a you know, twenty two hundred square foot apartment

889
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 1: to a eight by twenty foot long living quarters and

890
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:35,279
Speaker 1: my dog quickly kicked himself out of that and he

891
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:37,840
Speaker 1: decided to come live with the girls. Smart. That's a

892
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 1: smart dog. I can't blame him. So can this work?

893
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:46,720
Speaker 1: Can we bring these city girls out to the farm

894
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:50,879
Speaker 1: and you truly find love this fish out of water

895
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:55,399
Speaker 1: kind of social experiment. You know, I have said at

896
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:57,959
Speaker 1: least one hundred thousand times stay tuned to find out,

897
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:01,319
Speaker 1: and I think i'd answer I have to answer that

898
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:04,880
Speaker 1: to myself with this, I will say with this show,

899
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 1: and I'm not I don't have a whole lot of

900
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:09,759
Speaker 1: time to watch a lot of shows and whatnot. But

901
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:12,319
Speaker 1: I know, like you said, some other shows, they're going

902
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:14,919
Speaker 1: off to boor or boor or whatever around the world

903
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 1: and basically going on on, you know, a vacation with

904
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 1: the group of people that they're pursuing and then they

905
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:23,719
Speaker 1: have to come back to reality. This show really does

906
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:26,959
Speaker 1: put the real in reality, like they're not. We didn't

907
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 1: go on some glamorous vacation to just go hang out

908
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:35,759
Speaker 1: for two months. This was these ladies put their life

909
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 1: on hold and came out here. See what we do

910
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:43,759
Speaker 1: here out in the ranch. And what they didn't know

911
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 1: they picked up quickly and we're at least willing to learn. Look,

912
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 1: and I'm sure, I'm sure it's different for Alan and

913
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:51,800
Speaker 1: Ryan and Land and the other three farmers and cowboys

914
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:54,920
Speaker 1: in this show. But for you, what is a day

915
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:58,359
Speaker 1: in the life like you know? Whoever, if you end

916
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 1: up with somebody, is their life? What can they expect

917
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:09,320
Speaker 1: on the daily? Um? Uh, A lot of early mornings,

918
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 1: late nights and a lot of hard work in between.

919
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 1: But it there's a lot of beauty in it. It's

920
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 1: one of those professions. It's that it's not a profession,

921
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:25,840
Speaker 1: it's a lifestyle. It's uh a lifestyle that basically just

922
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:28,560
Speaker 1: takes over everything about you. You know that we've had

923
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 1: good days, bad days, fun ones, tough ones, everything all

924
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:37,440
Speaker 1: in between. But there's there's so much beauty in the

925
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:41,759
Speaker 1: simplicity of certain aspects of it and the trials of

926
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,439
Speaker 1: the hard parts that it just averages it all out

927
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 1: and it makes it just a beautiful, a beautiful way

928
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 1: of life. And you know, I'm not gonna say whoever

929
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 1: they or may not end up with is a lucky

930
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:56,879
Speaker 1: one or anything like that. I'll definitely be a lucky one.

931
00:51:57,120 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 1: I'll be the lucky one based on the women on

932
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 1: My Way exactly. It's something that I'm so excited to

933
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:06,480
Speaker 1: share with someone. It's a see you run a two

Speaker 1: the barn door and saw her, I was just, you

945

Speaker 1: know where I'd heard that she was going to be

946
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 1: the host, and I was already excited about that. But

947
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:49,400
Speaker 1: when you're just when you're standing there and you just

948
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:53,839
Speaker 1: you're hit by. I mean just she's just naturally a star,

949
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:55,879
Speaker 1: like I'm just I don't mean just on stage. She's

950
00:52:55,920 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 1: just such a bright person and she made everything so

951
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:03,279
Speaker 1: enjoyable and as easy as it could be. I mean,

952
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 1: there were a lot of difficult decisions, but just her

953
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:11,399
Speaker 1: her genuineness is like she just made everything so easy

954
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:14,759
Speaker 1: and so smooth, and she just had that good down

955
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 1: home field. It made everything absolutely that much more enjoyable.

956
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:22,239
Speaker 1: You know, the band stuff cool, and so I just

957
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:25,000
Speaker 1: to be standing next to country music royalty like that

958
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:28,879
Speaker 1: was was a cool little depth in my step. Well,

959
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:30,960
Speaker 1: and I talked to her earlier, and I know it

960
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:33,399
Speaker 1: was difficult because we're talking about four cowboys at four

961
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:35,719
Speaker 1: different ranches around the country that aren't easy to get to,

962
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:37,919
Speaker 1: so she didn't get to spend a ton of time

963
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:41,160
Speaker 1: at each house. But was she able to impart some

964
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:43,239
Speaker 1: wisdom and kind of help you guys when y'all were

965
00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 1: all together. Yes, she offered so much wisdom and guidance,

966
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:50,759
Speaker 1: and she was there with us through every step, the

967
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 1: fun times we had, the tough times we shared, and

968
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:57,320
Speaker 1: you know, it was we've really become a really close,

969
00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:00,760
Speaker 1: close knit group and it felt a lot like family

970
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 1: when you're making these tough decisions and everybody had each

971
00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:06,640
Speaker 1: other's back and yeah, from the guys to the girls.

972
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 1: I mean it was everything. Everybody was such a good team,

973
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:12,880
Speaker 1: a team player and just supporting each other and you

974
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 1: know everybody's endeavors. It made everything truly a great experience.

975
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 1: Be honest, did you slipper a demo tape and just say, hey,

976
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:26,839
Speaker 1: this is this is the Hat Creek Band. Just take

977
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:33,400
Speaker 1: a listen, tell me what you think. No, sir, I'm

978
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 1: sure I'll kick myself later in life for that. But

979
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:38,279
Speaker 1: you know, I love the music, but I didn't want

980
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:42,120
Speaker 1: I didn't want this opportunity to be just like pushing

981
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:44,320
Speaker 1: towards my music. This was I'm not looking for a partner,

982
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:47,800
Speaker 1: business partner, you know, farmhand or anything like that, or

983
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:51,479
Speaker 1: a publicity deal. I'm looking for a partner in life,

984
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:53,920
Speaker 1: and I really wanted at the end of the day,

985
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 1: I'm a cattle wrencher. I happened to sing music, and

986
00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:58,319
Speaker 1: I've had some success with that and it's been a

987
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:00,360
Speaker 1: lot of fun. But there's never been to be a

988
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:03,440
Speaker 1: song song, or a note played or a stage performed

989
00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:06,400
Speaker 1: on that's going to keep me from missing my potential

990
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:11,399
Speaker 1: kids first steps. Your bandmates are going to kick your butt,

991
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:17,359
Speaker 1: but I appreciate the sentiment. Hunter. I'm glad I got

992
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:19,520
Speaker 1: to know you man. You are the real deal. And

993
00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:22,320
Speaker 1: this show is too. Farmer Wants a Wife it's a

994
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:27,439
Speaker 1: it's a great look into the heartland into a bunch

00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:30,960
