0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Also on the show today, one of the farmers farmer Hunter.

0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:45.800
<v Speaker 1>I think you just like saying farmer. I do like

0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:48.000
<v Speaker 1>saying farmer he is I was gonna I was trying

0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:49.639
<v Speaker 1>to figure out a way how can I say he

0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:53.920
<v Speaker 1>is as full as a tick on a bloodhound. Lots

0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:57.360
<v Speaker 1>of rednecks sayings and lines on Farmer ONTs a Wife.

0:00:57.360 --> 0:01:00.520
<v Speaker 1>It's the new show on Fox where four farmers are

0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:04.640
<v Speaker 1>finding love, trying to find love, but not giving up

0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:07.440
<v Speaker 1>who they are, which is they're farmers. They're living on

0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:10.160
<v Speaker 1>the land. So we got four men from the heartland

0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:13.160
<v Speaker 1>and we have women from all across the country vying

0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:15.720
<v Speaker 1>for their love and attention. Although not all of them

0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:17.920
<v Speaker 1>are up for this. You know. The show had me

0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:20.520
<v Speaker 1>thinking because of the format of it, the way that

0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:24.720
<v Speaker 1>the women move in right away with them. They see

0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:29.000
<v Speaker 1>these guys whole real lives right from the start, and

0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:31.080
<v Speaker 1>I kind of started thinking about like you and I

0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:34.520
<v Speaker 1>and dating, and you know, the question of when do

0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:39.360
<v Speaker 1>you reveal your whole true self and show your whole

0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:42.560
<v Speaker 1>true life to someone that you're dating. It should be,

0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:47.280
<v Speaker 1>in my opinion, if you're smart a slow burn. Oh interesting,

0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:50.920
<v Speaker 1>I didn't expect you to say that I'm a slow reveal.

0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:54.160
<v Speaker 1>Leave a little something to be desired, a little something

0:01:54.200 --> 0:02:00.880
<v Speaker 1>to learn, just in that. I think relationship chips have stages.

0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:05.080
<v Speaker 1>They moved to a certain point, like yes, I thought

0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:10.440
<v Speaker 1>I love you early on, but we've created and gone

0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:13.400
<v Speaker 1>so much deeper now, so true that I want to

0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:17.560
<v Speaker 1>reveal more to you in more intimate ways, whether it's

0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:20.240
<v Speaker 1>my kids, my mom, my dad, what I really think

0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:23.040
<v Speaker 1>about my mom and my dad and my brother, you know.

0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:25.680
<v Speaker 1>But you know what I mean. It's like, I think

0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:28.880
<v Speaker 1>you scratch the surface early on, and it's like you

0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:31.280
<v Speaker 1>can have them into the house or whatever. But I

0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:33.120
<v Speaker 1>think then you go much deeper as you go, so

0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:35.959
<v Speaker 1>I would say a slow burn. Are you saying not? Well,

0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:38.400
<v Speaker 1>I have this friend and I will say she's she's

0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:40.720
<v Speaker 1>been on the struggle bus in dating and I've tried

0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:42.960
<v Speaker 1>to I don't agree with some of her opinions, like

0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:47.320
<v Speaker 1>she said, well, I'm myself, my whole everything about myself

0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:49.640
<v Speaker 1>right from date one, and so then like if they

0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:51.160
<v Speaker 1>don't like me, it's like take me or leave me.

0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:52.919
<v Speaker 1>And if they don't like me, then that's it and whatever.

0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:57.679
<v Speaker 1>And I think there's a balance because look, you don't

0:02:57.680 --> 0:02:59.560
<v Speaker 1>want to misrepresent who you are and you don't want

0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:01.720
<v Speaker 1>to be that, you know, like the movie Runaway Bride,

0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:05.720
<v Speaker 1>where she's like changing Julie Roberts's character infamously changed how

0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:07.480
<v Speaker 1>she likes her eggs for each guy. You don't want

0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:10.160
<v Speaker 1>to change who you are for someone, and you don't

0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:13.720
<v Speaker 1>want to misrepresent who you are. But at the same time,

0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 1>I think in different areas of our lives, like you

0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:20.040
<v Speaker 1>don't walk into a business meeting and act exactly like

0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:23.640
<v Speaker 1>you're full self, or you have different versions of yourself,

0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:25.600
<v Speaker 1>like I have who I am in a first business

0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:27.639
<v Speaker 1>meeting with somebody, and then I have who I am

0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 1>when I'm like with my siblings or with you, and

0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:32.080
<v Speaker 1>so we have these different versions of ourselves. And I

0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:36.040
<v Speaker 1>think when you're first dating somebody, be yourself, but be

0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:40.720
<v Speaker 1>a certain version of yourself. Hopefully you could come across

0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:45.600
<v Speaker 1>crazy the best version of yourself for that particular moment.

0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:48.720
<v Speaker 1>Like I wasn't doing my Voldemort impression for you on

0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:50.960
<v Speaker 1>the first Trust me, I did not know that's what

0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:55.080
<v Speaker 1>I was buying into. I wasn't talking. It's which Harry

0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:57.560
<v Speaker 1>Potter book isn't. Yeah, she didn't give me the Harry

0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:00.560
<v Speaker 1>Potter test of what house you're in? All that has

0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:02.720
<v Speaker 1>to come. Can we do the Harry Potter test for

0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:06.040
<v Speaker 1>people right now? Not yet? Okay, the one question test

0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:09.080
<v Speaker 1>Instagram if you want to do the test, because how

0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:10.680
<v Speaker 1>are people going to answer that you would have to

0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:13.600
<v Speaker 1>go through It would be very tough and convoluted, which

0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:18.279
<v Speaker 1>I also feel like if you reveal everything about yourself,

0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:20.440
<v Speaker 1>it's like drinking out of a fire hydrant early on.

0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:23.520
<v Speaker 1>That's a lot for somebody to take in. Let them

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:25.360
<v Speaker 1>drink out of the water fountain. Well, that's the thing.

0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:27.360
<v Speaker 1>It's going to be interesting to see on Farmer Wants

0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:30.400
<v Speaker 1>a Wife like I would be. You know, obviously this

0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:32.360
<v Speaker 1>is a TV show, it's an experiment, and so we're

0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:34.159
<v Speaker 1>going to throw these people in right away. And the

0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:38.040
<v Speaker 1>question is, can you take the full reality of someone's life,

0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.239
<v Speaker 1>everything about who they are, the way they live, everything,

0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:43.159
<v Speaker 1>right from day one. Like with you and I, you

0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:46.760
<v Speaker 1>actually introduced me to the kids fairly early on, but

0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:49.960
<v Speaker 1>you also said, look, a, my kids are older, they're teenagers.

0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:51.680
<v Speaker 1>They're not you know, you don't have to worry about

0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:54.000
<v Speaker 1>like a younger child forming an emotional attachment to you

0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:56.400
<v Speaker 1>right away. Because I was a little nervous. And then

0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:58.800
<v Speaker 1>you said, I have my kids fifty percent of the time,

0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:00.160
<v Speaker 1>So if we're going to be dating each other, you're

0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:03.600
<v Speaker 1>going to see him quite a lot. I am trying

0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:06.880
<v Speaker 1>to think of how quickly I like threw you in.

0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:09.359
<v Speaker 1>It really was pretty quick. But again I think I

0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:12.919
<v Speaker 1>just there's also something exciting about maintaining a little mystery too,

0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:17.440
<v Speaker 1>and unfolding things. Speaking of mystery, oh yes, and unfolding.

0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:19.640
<v Speaker 1>And we'll get back to Farmer One's why because we're

0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:22.080
<v Speaker 1>going to have Jennifer Neddles and country Icon. I think

0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:23.600
<v Speaker 1>you have a little bit of a celeb crush. I

0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:26.640
<v Speaker 1>do have a celeb crush on Jennifer Nettles. She's incredibly talented. Yeah,

0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:30.720
<v Speaker 1>it's like I've been a big, yeah, huge fan Farmer Hunter.

0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:32.440
<v Speaker 1>We'll see if I'm a fan. I got to talk

0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:34.960
<v Speaker 1>to him, see what this farmer is all about. But

0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:38.520
<v Speaker 1>the mystery that is Aaron Rodgers. Again, this is when

0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:43.200
<v Speaker 1>our two worlds kind of collide. Green May Packer quarterback

0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:46.240
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Rodgers. You're transitioning into the most dramatic headlines of

0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:48.599
<v Speaker 1>the week. Yeah, this has been a dramatic headline that

0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:50.880
<v Speaker 1>you and I talked a lot about. He is an

0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:53.640
<v Speaker 1>eccentric guy, to say the least, and he's been known

0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:58.160
<v Speaker 1>for he goes on these meditative trips, these retreats. He

0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:04.080
<v Speaker 1>marches to the beat of a different drummer, and he

0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:10.640
<v Speaker 1>recently just went to a quiet, dark retreat. Quiet is

0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:12.880
<v Speaker 1>an understatement. Okay, I'm going to take this over because

0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:15.240
<v Speaker 1>for once I can speak on a sports story. As

0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:18.320
<v Speaker 1>you said, usually our world's don't intersect, but when sports

0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:20.960
<v Speaker 1>comes into the entertainment websites, when I see it on

0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:23.880
<v Speaker 1>those that I know. Now, Aaron Rodgers has dated a

0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:25.599
<v Speaker 1>lot of famous people, so I do know who he has,

0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:30.480
<v Speaker 1>stated Olivia mun and stand to Patrick yes. So Aaron Rodgers,

0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:32.160
<v Speaker 1>in trying to figure out his next step in his

0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:35.280
<v Speaker 1>football career, has revealed that he went to not just

0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:42.680
<v Speaker 1>a quiet a four day silent retreat in almost total darkness,

0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:46.599
<v Speaker 1>in a space an unknown location that was at least

0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:51.640
<v Speaker 1>partially underground, and the only thing he had was a bed,

0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:56.040
<v Speaker 1>a matt on which to meditate. And that's it. Yea,

0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:58.640
<v Speaker 1>I saw this. It's at Skycave is the name of it.

0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:02.200
<v Speaker 1>It's a three hundred square foot it partially underground hobbit

0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:04.440
<v Speaker 1>like dwelling. I saw. You can see the door, so

0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:06.279
<v Speaker 1>it really is like the Hobbit. Okay, so he's paying

0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:08.719
<v Speaker 1>to go be in. He's paying essentially to be in

0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:12.280
<v Speaker 1>solitary confinement, which is in is in some way forms

0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:15.000
<v Speaker 1>of torture and imprisonment. But yes, I think we shut

0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:18.480
<v Speaker 1>down Guantanamo Bay because of this. No, but it's you

0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:21.120
<v Speaker 1>and I have a little different opinion on this. We do,

0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:23.200
<v Speaker 1>I think. Okay. I came to Chris and I said,

0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:27.000
<v Speaker 1>this is you would be wild to me. I would

0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:29.200
<v Speaker 1>never do this. First of all, I am way too

0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:30.920
<v Speaker 1>afraid of the dark. I mean every night when we

0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:33.080
<v Speaker 1>go to sleep, I'm waking up a couple times in

0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:35.200
<v Speaker 1>the night, and I don't know if anybody out there

0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:39.760
<v Speaker 1>has contacts or glasses. My contacts prescription is eight point five.

0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Think of readers like readers, glasses are like one point five,

0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:45.760
<v Speaker 1>like the bottom of a coke bottle. That's what you

0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:49.000
<v Speaker 1>wear when you're six. Yes, yes, she's an eight point five.

0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:51.400
<v Speaker 1>So I wake up in the middle of the night,

0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:53.280
<v Speaker 1>I see a shadow. I'm like, someone's in the room.

0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:56.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm screaming. I'm waking you up. The idea of being

0:07:56.200 --> 0:08:01.000
<v Speaker 1>in four full, twenty four hour periods of total darkness

0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:04.520
<v Speaker 1>is terrifying. How long what's the over under on Lauren

0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:07.760
<v Speaker 1>Zima in this room? How long? What do you mean

0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:12.160
<v Speaker 1>in the hours? Could you make it a day? If

0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:13.880
<v Speaker 1>I was able to just pull the plug, I would

0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:18.640
<v Speaker 1>giet it maybe an hour. I don't know. I'd lose

0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:21.920
<v Speaker 1>all sense of time. I also can't handle the idea

0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:25.920
<v Speaker 1>of not talking to anybody for four days. Like the

0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:28.600
<v Speaker 1>guy who runs the retreat will stop by and just

0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:31.000
<v Speaker 1>check on you. He checks on the guests. By the way,

0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:33.880
<v Speaker 1>the door is not locked. You are in control. There

0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:36.000
<v Speaker 1>is a light switch. The room is fully powered. You

0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.200
<v Speaker 1>can flip on the lights. You can walk outside, you

0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:41.040
<v Speaker 1>can walk in the woods. But the idea is to

0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:46.120
<v Speaker 1>put yourself in the uncomfortable and live in the uncomfortable.

0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:48.480
<v Speaker 1>And what Aaron was saying, and what others that do

0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:52.360
<v Speaker 1>this say is it is working on those six inches

0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:56.640
<v Speaker 1>between the ears. It's about putting yourself in the uncomfortable

0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:59.839
<v Speaker 1>and not reaching for your phone, reaching for food, reaching

0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:03.840
<v Speaker 1>for exercise, reaching for whatever that breaks that uncomfortability. You

0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:07.920
<v Speaker 1>got to live in it and sit in it. Sometimes

0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:10.520
<v Speaker 1>I get scared about if I do experiences like this,

0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:13.560
<v Speaker 1>like what might break in my brain or something. That's

0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:15.280
<v Speaker 1>what scares me a little bit. But then I also

0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:16.920
<v Speaker 1>see what you're saying. Okay, I didn't know he could

0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:18.720
<v Speaker 1>take a walk in the woods. That makes if I

0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:20.800
<v Speaker 1>could get outside, although then I'd be afraid somebody to

0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:23.079
<v Speaker 1>be in the woods. Anyway, This is also like we

0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:25.080
<v Speaker 1>could really dig into how this is Like a huge

0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:26.880
<v Speaker 1>part of this is how women are raised with so

0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:28.959
<v Speaker 1>much more fear and instilled with fear and to be

0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:32.320
<v Speaker 1>afraid than men are. Yeah, I mean, pretty valid point.

0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:34.880
<v Speaker 1>The only other person I saw that did this was

0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:39.520
<v Speaker 1>this guy that crossed Antarctica and has summited Everest twice.

0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:42.800
<v Speaker 1>He goes there religiously and as seven day stints in

0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:46.160
<v Speaker 1>this room. Okay, so would you do this? I think

0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:48.160
<v Speaker 1>it would be interesting. And so you know a Aaron's look,

0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:50.040
<v Speaker 1>he's thirty nine years old, he's done. He went down

0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:54.800
<v Speaker 1>to Peru and did what hyahuasca? The psychedelic. Yeah, the psychedelic.

0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:57.120
<v Speaker 1>So he's been known to do these things, and this

0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:59.200
<v Speaker 1>is just another step as he's trying to figure out,

0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:01.200
<v Speaker 1>by the way, if he's coming back to Green Bay,

0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:03.640
<v Speaker 1>and if he does, he's due fifty nine point four

0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:06.600
<v Speaker 1>million dollars. I don't have to sit one day in

0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.320
<v Speaker 1>the dark to just come back and pick up sixty mils.

0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:13.160
<v Speaker 1>But this is what Aaron has done to contemplate his

0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:16.080
<v Speaker 1>future and put himself in that uncomfortable position. He is

0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:20.760
<v Speaker 1>an interesting guy. So would you do this? I have

0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:27.000
<v Speaker 1>been to a silent monastery, you have. Okay, look at this.

0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:31.080
<v Speaker 1>The mystery unfolds. I did not know. I was on

0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:35.600
<v Speaker 1>the board of my church. This was back in California.

0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:38.199
<v Speaker 1>And you go up to this where the monks are

0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:41.520
<v Speaker 1>in Santa Barbara, and you live in silence among the

0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:46.280
<v Speaker 1>monks for one to three days. And so there are

0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:49.320
<v Speaker 1>times that you speak when you're in prayer or whatever.

0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:52.880
<v Speaker 1>But for the most part, the entire places in silence

0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:55.720
<v Speaker 1>you have. You have no phone, no reception, We're not

0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:57.600
<v Speaker 1>in the dark, and there are other humans around and

0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:01.960
<v Speaker 1>you're eating, but that's it. So I think it's pretty liberating.

0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:03.960
<v Speaker 1>It's pretty interesting. What did you take away from that?

0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:05.720
<v Speaker 1>You just spent a lot of time and thought, But

0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:07.800
<v Speaker 1>what did you takeaway? What did you learn about yourself

0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:09.320
<v Speaker 1>or what did you what was your big takeaway that

0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:12.440
<v Speaker 1>you would remember. I've always been a believer that you

0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:17.079
<v Speaker 1>need to be comfortable with yourself, by yourself, within yourself.

0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:19.520
<v Speaker 1>I've always believed that It's what honestly got me through

0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:22.080
<v Speaker 1>the Bachelor and Batch rec because I traveled so much

0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:24.320
<v Speaker 1>of the time by myself. I would often not go

0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:27.160
<v Speaker 1>with the cast, so I would be by myself traveling

0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:30.920
<v Speaker 1>for days, wouldn't speak to anybody, and became very comfortable,

0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.760
<v Speaker 1>almost too comfortable with that. I think it's important to

0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:37.320
<v Speaker 1>have that spirituality, to be able to go within yourself

0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:42.320
<v Speaker 1>and be silent. It's a powerful thing. Well, this does

0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:44.160
<v Speaker 1>I did do And first of all, I just I

0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:46.160
<v Speaker 1>can't believe I never knew this. We've we've got to

0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:48.400
<v Speaker 1>go on a long date and keep learning about each other. No,

0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:53.080
<v Speaker 1>I did do the hiking retreat that I did in

0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:56.440
<v Speaker 1>the fall, and I told you one of my takeaways

0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:58.720
<v Speaker 1>from that. Now it was on a much smaller scale.

0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:01.319
<v Speaker 1>We did these hikes every day, these twelve mile hikes,

0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:03.680
<v Speaker 1>and if anybody follows me on Instagram, I was doing

0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:05.520
<v Speaker 1>ten k a day, ten thousand steps a day to

0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:07.560
<v Speaker 1>prepare for that. What I was preparing for was twelve

0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:11.800
<v Speaker 1>miles a day of hiking. And on the last day,

0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:15.520
<v Speaker 1>they purposely spaced us out on the hike so that

0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:18.120
<v Speaker 1>we had to hike alone, that you couldn't walk and

0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:20.880
<v Speaker 1>talk with somebody else, And so I hiked by myself

0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:24.199
<v Speaker 1>for a couple hours. And actually that was a big

0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:27.440
<v Speaker 1>learning moment for me, because something I do think I

0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:30.400
<v Speaker 1>have to work on is like being okay in the silence,

0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:32.679
<v Speaker 1>being okay with myself. I always think my mind goes

0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:35.120
<v Speaker 1>crazy and I need to talk to people. And I

0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:38.600
<v Speaker 1>did walk away from that thinking, wow, I enjoyed being

0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:41.559
<v Speaker 1>by myself and I like experiences that push you to change.

0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:45.560
<v Speaker 1>So I'm totally in for this. I have to say.

0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:47.960
<v Speaker 1>What scared me about the Errand thing was the darkness.

0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:50.160
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't be in the darkness for four days. That's

0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:52.800
<v Speaker 1>what's interesting is and again there are breaks from it,

0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:57.120
<v Speaker 1>but to be enveloped in that darkness and there is

0:12:57.160 --> 0:13:00.760
<v Speaker 1>no reception, that's a lot. Although well, you made a

0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:02.280
<v Speaker 1>good point, and I will say we were talking about

0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:05.200
<v Speaker 1>this a little bit before the pod. You said, we

0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:07.280
<v Speaker 1>do have to put in our minds the perspective that

0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:09.960
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Rodgers, the level of fame he has, the level

0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:12.760
<v Speaker 1>of money, he's like got it, Like you said, figure

0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:15.440
<v Speaker 1>out what he wants. He might need some silence. There's

0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:17.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot of step out a lambeau Field where there

0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:20.480
<v Speaker 1>are hundreds of thousands of people screaming and yelling, you know,

0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:23.760
<v Speaker 1>and to break away from that and just be quiet.

0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:27.840
<v Speaker 1>I respect that. He's a very interesting guy. I've met

0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:30.360
<v Speaker 1>Aaron on a number of occasions. The first time I

0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:33.440
<v Speaker 1>met him, this is true story, really bizarre. I was

0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:36.320
<v Speaker 1>at Bellair Country Club in LA playing golf with a

0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:37.880
<v Speaker 1>friend of mine and he says, hey, do you mind

0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:40.720
<v Speaker 1>if this other guy joins us. It was Aaron Rodgers.

0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:43.520
<v Speaker 1>This is pre Jojo and Jordan being on the show.

0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:46.400
<v Speaker 1>He was dating Olivium on He says, hey, I had

0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:49.559
<v Speaker 1>a bizarre connection to oliviam On through Oklahoma, and she said, Yo,

0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:52.040
<v Speaker 1>she speaks highly of you. We love the show, we

0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:55.360
<v Speaker 1>watch it. He was a pretty religious watcher of The Bachelor.

0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:57.880
<v Speaker 1>He and oliviam On and we talked a little bit

0:13:57.920 --> 0:13:59.600
<v Speaker 1>about it and all that had had a good time.

0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Flash forward a year later Jojo season of The Bachelorette.

0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:06.400
<v Speaker 1>Jordan Rodgers his brother. It kind of comes to light

0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:08.760
<v Speaker 1>that he is estranged from his family. He doesn't speak

0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:12.480
<v Speaker 1>to Jordan or his family, and we kind of blew

0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:15.400
<v Speaker 1>up Aaron's life a little bit in that regard. Then

0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:17.760
<v Speaker 1>I see him at another Gulf event at and T

0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Pebble Beach. We're up at Pebble and I specifically sought

0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:23.480
<v Speaker 1>him out when we were private and there were no

0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:26.040
<v Speaker 1>cameras around. I didn't know if he was going to

0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:28.360
<v Speaker 1>choke me out, punch me whatever. I was like, hey,

0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:31.080
<v Speaker 1>are we okay because I kind of blew your life up?

0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:33.920
<v Speaker 1>And he says, none, no, man, We're all good. Don't

0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:35.840
<v Speaker 1>worry about it, and he was actually very generous and

0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:40.880
<v Speaker 1>kind about it. I see these two sides of him,

0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:44.000
<v Speaker 1>and I find it very interesting in your take on this.

0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:49.240
<v Speaker 1>I love Jordan Rodgers. I like Aaron Rodgers. They're both

0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:52.080
<v Speaker 1>good guys. Yeah, you know, Aaron's a little eccentric and

0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:55.480
<v Speaker 1>little you know, kookie, but who cares. He's not hurting anybody.

0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:59.200
<v Speaker 1>So I find it interesting that if I didn't know

0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:01.680
<v Speaker 1>them as brother and I was at a bar with

0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:04.720
<v Speaker 1>Jordan Rodgers and Aaron walked in, I would get up,

0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:07.760
<v Speaker 1>give Aaron a high five, give him a hug, and say, hey, man,

0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:10.880
<v Speaker 1>come meet this guy. Jordan. He's a quo. He played

0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:13.560
<v Speaker 1>he played football as well, and you should talk. Yeah,

0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:16.120
<v Speaker 1>y'all should talk. You're really going to connect. If you

0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:19.760
<v Speaker 1>took away what they are angry, whatever happened, they would

0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:22.240
<v Speaker 1>actually probably be friends if they ran into each other.

0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:25.760
<v Speaker 1>I just I thought of that as very odd. Yeah, well,

0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:28.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean we have to remember we don't know what

0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:31.360
<v Speaker 1>we don't know. There's probably there's history, so many layers

0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:34.200
<v Speaker 1>to that and things that have happened that we have

0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:37.440
<v Speaker 1>no idea about, even though we know and love Jojo

0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:43.360
<v Speaker 1>and Jordan. Yeah, gosh, it's so hard because family estrangements

0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:45.520
<v Speaker 1>are something that I don't think we talk about that

0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:47.480
<v Speaker 1>much in our culture. It has this kind of faux

0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:49.960
<v Speaker 1>paw to it and get So many people I know,

0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:53.720
<v Speaker 1>including myself, have like family members that they don't talk

0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:56.280
<v Speaker 1>to or haven't seen or are estranged from. And the

0:15:56.400 --> 0:15:58.680
<v Speaker 1>thing that's tough about family is, on the one hand,

0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:01.160
<v Speaker 1>you think to yourself, well, gosh, it's family, you know,

0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:02.720
<v Speaker 1>can't you just work it out. Can't we put it

0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:05.080
<v Speaker 1>aside whatever it was and figure it out. And then

0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:09.160
<v Speaker 1>on the other hand, our family, these are not people

0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:11.640
<v Speaker 1>who we choose, you know, your friends or people you choose,

0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:15.520
<v Speaker 1>your family you're born into. And just because someone's your

0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:19.320
<v Speaker 1>family member doesn't mean you're going to get along with them.

0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:22.560
<v Speaker 1>So I see both sides of it. I also wonder

0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:26.440
<v Speaker 1>sometimes maybe and hopefully you know, there's a time heals

0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:29.960
<v Speaker 1>all wounds. Factor. Our familial relationships are so long in

0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:32.080
<v Speaker 1>our lives, and I don't think any family member can

0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:35.600
<v Speaker 1>go through years and years without having a fight or

0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:38.400
<v Speaker 1>an issue, although you and I talk about that a lot.

0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:40.480
<v Speaker 1>I fight with my family so much more than Chris doesn't.

0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:48.480
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, it's it's interesting. I wonder, I wonder if

0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:52.240
<v Speaker 1>anything will ever change there, because everybody in that situation

0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:57.000
<v Speaker 1>seems great. Um, although you know, we certainly don't know, right, Yeah,

0:16:57.000 --> 0:16:59.160
<v Speaker 1>we don't know the real score. Yeah, yeah, and that's

0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:01.280
<v Speaker 1>not for us to know unless they want to come

0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:02.720
<v Speaker 1>on the show. And I'll have them both on and

0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:17.919
<v Speaker 1>let's patch this. Let's bring this family back together. Another

0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:21.679
<v Speaker 1>major headline that hit this week that hit close to

0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:26.520
<v Speaker 1>home literally in figurative. Where did it hit? Hit? Honestly

0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:29.439
<v Speaker 1>a little bit below the belt. This headline hits a

0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:33.480
<v Speaker 1>little bit below the belt. My old friend Dean, Dean

0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:37.720
<v Speaker 1>Anglert from Bachelor, Bachelor, Paradise fame. I think Dean's most

0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:40.960
<v Speaker 1>known for Bachelor and Paradise. Yes, don't you remember Dean

0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:43.000
<v Speaker 1>was like, I mean he and Kaylin are together now.

0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:46.040
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, wasn't Dean the original? He was like the

0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:48.399
<v Speaker 1>start of all that f boy stuff. Yeah, but his

0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:51.720
<v Speaker 1>hometown really made news. That's on the show too during

0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:56.400
<v Speaker 1>the Bachelorette he was. But regardless, Dean now engaged to Klin.

0:17:56.960 --> 0:17:59.720
<v Speaker 1>This we're going from like one eccentric story in one

0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:02.520
<v Speaker 1>of centric guy to the next because Aaron Rodgers and

0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:06.640
<v Speaker 1>Dean are a little bit similar in that way, the quirkiness,

0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:09.359
<v Speaker 1>Like right now we would be talking to Dean about

0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:12.760
<v Speaker 1>this story we're about to talk about, except he's an Antarctica. Oh, yes,

0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:14.560
<v Speaker 1>you couldn't get a hold of him because he's an Antarctica.

0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:16.360
<v Speaker 1>You actually tried to get in touch with him, right,

0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:18.719
<v Speaker 1>He's always in a van somewhere. He's in a van

0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:23.280
<v Speaker 1>somewhere way south of the border anyway. So the story

0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:26.679
<v Speaker 1>is this, Dean went on a podcast and was saying

0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:31.040
<v Speaker 1>how he feels it shouldn't be just incumbent upon the

0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:34.760
<v Speaker 1>woman for now. I think it started with Kaylin, just

0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:37.240
<v Speaker 1>to be clear. Kaylin went on their podcast and said

0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:40.320
<v Speaker 1>that Dean has told her he doesn't think the birth

0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:42.960
<v Speaker 1>control should all fall on the woman, and so he

0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:48.080
<v Speaker 1>thinks maybe he should get of a sectomy now because

0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:50.320
<v Speaker 1>they're not ready to have kids yet, and then it

0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:53.480
<v Speaker 1>would he would just undo it and get a reversal

0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:57.320
<v Speaker 1>when it's time to have kids. Now, I think he's

0:18:57.359 --> 0:18:59.439
<v Speaker 1>taken this a little further now and actually spoken to

0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:05.520
<v Speaker 1>a doctor about it. But Dean, that is not the

0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:10.480
<v Speaker 1>birth control you're looking for. There are others at the pharmacy.

0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:15.000
<v Speaker 1>There's a whole aisle where you can put things on

0:19:15.320 --> 0:19:18.040
<v Speaker 1>where things Okay, wait, I have to call you out

0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:22.359
<v Speaker 1>on this right now. I think that what Dean's saying

0:19:23.359 --> 0:19:27.280
<v Speaker 1>is very right, It is all in the woman, I

0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:30.840
<v Speaker 1>will say, and I haven't. If Dean's had a conversation

0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:32.639
<v Speaker 1>with the doctor, I haven't listened to that. My first

0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:36.000
<v Speaker 1>reaction was, Okay, wait, I gotta go research this because

0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:39.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if a sectum, he's a pretty serious surgery, right,

0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:43.879
<v Speaker 1>and how and most importantly, how successful are the reversals,

0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:46.040
<v Speaker 1>because you don't want to go have a surgical procedure

0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:48.919
<v Speaker 1>where you might then never be able to have kids.

0:19:49.600 --> 0:19:52.840
<v Speaker 1>But I will say that, Okay, for example, I know

0:19:52.880 --> 0:19:55.960
<v Speaker 1>a lot of women who have IDs getting an IUD,

0:19:56.200 --> 0:19:58.600
<v Speaker 1>and I don't have one. But getting an IUD, from

0:19:58.640 --> 0:20:02.399
<v Speaker 1>what I've heard from all my good friends, is so painful.

0:20:03.000 --> 0:20:05.159
<v Speaker 1>It is. I mean, I have had women say that

0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:07.680
<v Speaker 1>they think you should go on they wish they'd gotten

0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:10.760
<v Speaker 1>to go under for it because it's super painful. And

0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:14.440
<v Speaker 1>so that's not nothing. And women taking birth control pills

0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:17.280
<v Speaker 1>every day for months or years of their lives, that

0:20:17.320 --> 0:20:21.560
<v Speaker 1>comes with major risks. I mean, it's hard. There's birth control,

0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:25.399
<v Speaker 1>while so important, every option comes with the downside. Dean's

0:20:25.480 --> 0:20:29.240
<v Speaker 1>not wrong, but he's also not right. Okay, why don't

0:20:29.240 --> 0:20:32.639
<v Speaker 1>you just tell everybody just be real? Chris Harrison about

0:20:32.720 --> 0:20:34.800
<v Speaker 1>why you said it hits below the best. This is

0:20:34.840 --> 0:20:39.440
<v Speaker 1>an operation I'm I'm very familiar with. I went through

0:20:39.440 --> 0:20:44.000
<v Speaker 1>this operation post my two kids, so I've been there

0:20:44.000 --> 0:20:49.000
<v Speaker 1>and done that. And the operation itself not a big deal. Really,

0:20:49.040 --> 0:20:52.159
<v Speaker 1>I probably shouldn't say that that way, but it's not.

0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:55.040
<v Speaker 1>It's really not a big deal. How do you mean

0:20:55.480 --> 0:20:59.560
<v Speaker 1>it just it's not it's not painful, it's not that uncomfortable.

0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:01.679
<v Speaker 1>It's just you get it done. It's i mean, probably

0:21:01.720 --> 0:21:04.479
<v Speaker 1>took thirty forty five minutes. They put a little booboo

0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:06.280
<v Speaker 1>strip on you and you go. You know, they pull

0:21:06.280 --> 0:21:09.840
<v Speaker 1>your vast deference two about they cut it, they carterize it.

0:21:10.280 --> 0:21:13.480
<v Speaker 1>And here's the problem. I also know people who have

0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:18.680
<v Speaker 1>gotten reversals. The reversal is painful, it is much more

0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:21.080
<v Speaker 1>of a laborious project. I'm not a doctor. I have

0:21:21.160 --> 0:21:24.119
<v Speaker 1>played one on TV for twenty years, but I'm not

0:21:24.200 --> 0:21:27.040
<v Speaker 1>a doctor. But I do know plenty of people because

0:21:27.080 --> 0:21:28.520
<v Speaker 1>I am of that age where a lot of my

0:21:28.560 --> 0:21:32.560
<v Speaker 1>friends have done this, some have gotten reversals. Yes, it hurts,

0:21:32.560 --> 0:21:34.280
<v Speaker 1>and the pain thing, it's not a big deal. I'm

0:21:34.320 --> 0:21:36.840
<v Speaker 1>not saying don't do it for the pain, but it's

0:21:36.880 --> 0:21:41.240
<v Speaker 1>also not. It's not. And I know I don't know

0:21:41.280 --> 0:21:44.040
<v Speaker 1>what the averages are. I don't know what the percentages are.

0:21:44.040 --> 0:21:46.360
<v Speaker 1>But I know two guys that I talked to this

0:21:46.440 --> 0:21:50.440
<v Speaker 1>week I played golf with. Both tried to have reversals.

0:21:50.840 --> 0:21:53.480
<v Speaker 1>Both did not work. One had to go in twice

0:21:54.880 --> 0:21:59.640
<v Speaker 1>and the other guy just didn't work. There's a famous broadcaster, sportscaster.

0:21:59.800 --> 0:22:02.399
<v Speaker 1>He tried to get a reversal. He told me about it.

0:22:03.080 --> 0:22:06.640
<v Speaker 1>So it is much it's a much more intensive project

0:22:06.760 --> 0:22:09.399
<v Speaker 1>to try. And because when they cut your vast deference

0:22:09.440 --> 0:22:12.439
<v Speaker 1>tubes and they literally carterize it, you're smoking. It's like

0:22:12.760 --> 0:22:16.119
<v Speaker 1>think of a welder. They're welding it shut. So they

0:22:16.160 --> 0:22:20.200
<v Speaker 1>got to find those two water and connect them. So

0:22:20.240 --> 0:22:22.640
<v Speaker 1>it's not just as easy as hey, I'm gonna cut

0:22:22.640 --> 0:22:24.440
<v Speaker 1>these Yeah, I'm gonna turn the spicket off for a

0:22:24.480 --> 0:22:25.920
<v Speaker 1>little bit and then we'll turn it back on when

0:22:25.920 --> 0:22:29.160
<v Speaker 1>we want to have kids. So I again, Dean, you're

0:22:29.200 --> 0:22:32.560
<v Speaker 1>not wrong. I appreciate what he's saying, and you're right.

0:22:32.600 --> 0:22:35.040
<v Speaker 1>It shouldn't just be on the woman, and it shouldn't

0:22:35.080 --> 0:22:37.720
<v Speaker 1>be that you can't go through a little uncomfortable pain

0:22:37.880 --> 0:22:40.440
<v Speaker 1>or whatever to get this done and be there. But

0:22:40.720 --> 0:22:43.479
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you're right in this is the

0:22:43.560 --> 0:22:46.320
<v Speaker 1>correct path for you if you really want to have

0:22:46.400 --> 0:22:48.960
<v Speaker 1>kids soon. So when you were saying, Dean, there are

0:22:49.000 --> 0:22:51.520
<v Speaker 1>other methods of birth control available, what you were trying

0:22:51.520 --> 0:22:56.880
<v Speaker 1>to say A condom? Okay, I mean put on a condom.

0:22:57.119 --> 0:23:01.200
<v Speaker 1>They got lots of them. It's just an easier way

0:23:01.320 --> 0:23:04.720
<v Speaker 1>to go. Well, look, I was doing some light googling. Again,

0:23:04.760 --> 0:23:09.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm no expert, but I saw one doctor talking about

0:23:09.760 --> 0:23:13.200
<v Speaker 1>how like eighty five percent success right on the reversals,

0:23:13.400 --> 0:23:16.119
<v Speaker 1>which is high, but still do you want it to

0:23:16.160 --> 0:23:19.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if you're if you've never had kids and

0:23:19.160 --> 0:23:21.440
<v Speaker 1>you're doing this as your birth control method, it sounds

0:23:21.480 --> 0:23:23.040
<v Speaker 1>like you would not want to go to the sectomy

0:23:23.119 --> 0:23:25.320
<v Speaker 1>route when you're you'd then only have an eighty five

0:23:25.359 --> 0:23:27.760
<v Speaker 1>percent chance of If you had told me when I

0:23:27.800 --> 0:23:30.240
<v Speaker 1>was twenty five, twenty whatever, when I knew I was

0:23:30.280 --> 0:23:32.960
<v Speaker 1>going to have children, that I wanted to have children,

0:23:33.200 --> 0:23:35.359
<v Speaker 1>that was a part of my life plan, if you

0:23:35.400 --> 0:23:39.280
<v Speaker 1>had said, hey, go through this, it's going to knock

0:23:39.320 --> 0:23:42.120
<v Speaker 1>fifteen to twenty percent off your chance of having a kid.

0:23:42.680 --> 0:23:45.399
<v Speaker 1>It's already kind of difficult enough for many couples to

0:23:45.400 --> 0:23:49.480
<v Speaker 1>have children. As you know, that's not knocking. Fifteen to

0:23:49.480 --> 0:23:51.880
<v Speaker 1>twenty percent off is a big deal, Like, that's not

0:23:51.880 --> 0:23:55.560
<v Speaker 1>not a percentage I would be willing to take. Well, everyone,

0:23:56.560 --> 0:23:58.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, we thought we were talking about Dean and

0:23:58.840 --> 0:24:02.919
<v Speaker 1>his dramatic headlines, but now Chris Harrison has revealed he

0:24:03.040 --> 0:24:10.560
<v Speaker 1>had a vasectomy. And on that note, we're gonna snip

0:24:10.600 --> 0:24:15.160
<v Speaker 1>this and take a break. When we come back talking

0:24:15.240 --> 0:24:18.240
<v Speaker 1>to Farmer Wants a Wife host Jennifer Nettles, I will

0:24:18.280 --> 0:24:21.720
<v Speaker 1>not bring up my vasectomy. And one of the farmers,

0:24:21.800 --> 0:24:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Hunter Grayson, going to join me on the show. We'll

0:24:24.000 --> 0:24:37.960
<v Speaker 1>be right back. Welcome back to the most dramatic podcast ever.

<v Speaker 1>in Austin, Texas. So we love our country music. And

0:25:19.320 --> 0:25:21.399
<v Speaker 1>I have been a huge fan of admirer of you

0:25:21.520 --> 0:25:25.280
<v Speaker 1>in your music. But I love seeing you on Farmer

0:25:25.359 --> 0:25:30.639
<v Speaker 1>One's a Wife. My one nitpick about the show not

0:25:30.760 --> 0:25:33.840
<v Speaker 1>enough Jennifer Nettles, You know what, That's what I said too.

0:25:35.960 --> 0:25:37.680
<v Speaker 1>This show is great, but I'm just gonna get a

0:25:37.760 --> 0:25:42.439
<v Speaker 1>little more me. I'm glad. I'm glad you feel that way,

0:25:42.480 --> 0:25:46.560
<v Speaker 1>you know what. I'm producers, if you're listening, hey here,

0:25:46.840 --> 0:25:49.960
<v Speaker 1>from one reality show host to another, it's probably just

0:25:50.040 --> 0:25:52.880
<v Speaker 1>triggering to me because I fought those battles every day

0:25:52.920 --> 0:25:55.359
<v Speaker 1>as well. Do you guys realize how funny I was?

0:25:56.800 --> 0:26:00.360
<v Speaker 1>That's right, don't you know? Don't you know? Yeah? But one,

0:26:00.720 --> 0:26:02.439
<v Speaker 1>but one thing I really do want to see more of,

0:26:02.480 --> 0:26:04.359
<v Speaker 1>and hopefully we'll get there, and I've only seen the

0:26:04.359 --> 0:26:11.200
<v Speaker 1>first episode was this relationship, and I'm curious. I had

0:26:11.359 --> 0:26:14.320
<v Speaker 1>a very interesting relationship with the Bachelor Bacherette because I

0:26:14.359 --> 0:26:17.119
<v Speaker 1>had one person to worry about, and that was something

0:26:17.160 --> 0:26:19.320
<v Speaker 1>that we fostered in the whole show was about one person.

0:26:19.359 --> 0:26:23.040
<v Speaker 1>You're obviously dealing with four farmers across the country. Not

0:26:23.200 --> 0:26:26.280
<v Speaker 1>so easy for you. So how was your relationship with

0:26:26.320 --> 0:26:28.879
<v Speaker 1>the four farmers and how did you feel you were

0:26:28.920 --> 0:26:33.600
<v Speaker 1>being used in that way? So the format is obviously

0:26:33.640 --> 0:26:36.840
<v Speaker 1>a bit different than what you describe in your experience,

0:26:37.119 --> 0:26:40.120
<v Speaker 1>and for good reason, because there are four different farmers.

0:26:40.760 --> 0:26:45.440
<v Speaker 1>That being said, the majority of my interaction and connection

0:26:45.600 --> 0:26:49.560
<v Speaker 1>was when everyone came together. Yeah, and we came together

0:26:50.160 --> 0:26:55.000
<v Speaker 1>every episode for these big social events. Okay, so that

0:26:55.080 --> 0:26:59.080
<v Speaker 1>was the majority of my interaction, which was I considered

0:26:59.240 --> 0:27:02.280
<v Speaker 1>I consider myself more like a fairy godmother kind of

0:27:02.400 --> 0:27:05.880
<v Speaker 1>role where I get that yeah right, you know where

0:27:05.880 --> 0:27:08.560
<v Speaker 1>I come in, and I like pat them on the

0:27:08.760 --> 0:27:13.000
<v Speaker 1>especially for the guys, especially for the guys in this scenario,

0:27:13.160 --> 0:27:17.240
<v Speaker 1>because these are four guys. They are they are real

0:27:17.280 --> 0:27:21.399
<v Speaker 1>life farmers. They are they have dedicated their lives to

0:27:21.480 --> 0:27:25.439
<v Speaker 1>their work, which means where farming is concerned, it is

0:27:25.560 --> 0:27:29.679
<v Speaker 1>very demanding. And they live in small towns, you know.

0:27:29.720 --> 0:27:31.479
<v Speaker 1>The joke that they've made is like, look, I know

0:27:31.680 --> 0:27:33.440
<v Speaker 1>all the women in this town and I'm related to

0:27:33.480 --> 0:27:36.479
<v Speaker 1>half of them, So like, what's a guy to do? Um?

0:27:36.960 --> 0:27:40.320
<v Speaker 1>So that being said, that then you put them in

0:27:40.359 --> 0:27:45.360
<v Speaker 1>this environment where they've never had, you know, possibly one

0:27:45.400 --> 0:27:48.760
<v Speaker 1>woman on their farm, much less a whole group of them. Okay,

0:27:48.840 --> 0:27:52.280
<v Speaker 1>and there's cameras, and it's as as delicate of a

0:27:52.320 --> 0:27:58.119
<v Speaker 1>subject as love. So it's super exposing and super vulnerable.

0:27:58.520 --> 0:28:01.440
<v Speaker 1>So these guys needs the couragement, Like, all right, they're

0:28:01.480 --> 0:28:05.560
<v Speaker 1>also really good freaking guys, Chris, here's here's there. They're

0:28:05.600 --> 0:28:08.200
<v Speaker 1>like really nice people, so they don't want to hurt

0:28:08.200 --> 0:28:12.760
<v Speaker 1>anybody's feelings. So the entirety of the time, it's just like, Okay,

0:28:12.800 --> 0:28:15.800
<v Speaker 1>I know you don't want to hurt anybody's feelings and

0:28:15.840 --> 0:28:17.520
<v Speaker 1>say that you have more of a connection with one

0:28:17.560 --> 0:28:19.840
<v Speaker 1>than the other. But you can't live forever on your

0:28:19.840 --> 0:28:22.760
<v Speaker 1>farm with eight women. I'm sorry, Like it's you just can't.

0:28:22.800 --> 0:28:25.840
<v Speaker 1>Well did you notice that that change, because obviously that's

0:28:25.880 --> 0:28:28.280
<v Speaker 1>something that each Batcher and Batchette has the toughest time with.

0:28:28.400 --> 0:28:31.159
<v Speaker 1>It's oddly those early we call them rose ceremonies, by

0:28:31.200 --> 0:28:32.920
<v Speaker 1>the way, what did you guys call them? That? The

0:28:32.960 --> 0:28:36.360
<v Speaker 1>hay bale ceremony, the round up? Well, and there isn't

0:28:36.160 --> 0:28:40.440
<v Speaker 1>that that's another that's another distinction that it's not the same.

0:28:40.480 --> 0:28:43.760
<v Speaker 1>There really isn't a ceremonial moment. It can happen at

0:28:43.800 --> 0:28:46.400
<v Speaker 1>any point in the show. I was just wondering what

0:28:46.440 --> 0:28:50.080
<v Speaker 1>you guys called it early on as everybody got together. Um,

0:28:50.280 --> 0:28:54.240
<v Speaker 1>but I did you find that, not that they've become

0:28:54.280 --> 0:28:57.440
<v Speaker 1>more calloused, but you almost become better at breaking up

0:28:57.480 --> 0:28:59.600
<v Speaker 1>because you realize at the end of the day, like

0:28:59.640 --> 0:29:02.200
<v Speaker 1>you said, you're not going to have eight wives, You're

0:29:02.240 --> 0:29:05.120
<v Speaker 1>not going to have that many, So you are there

0:29:05.520 --> 0:29:07.800
<v Speaker 1>to meet one. You're there to meet the love of

0:29:07.800 --> 0:29:09.960
<v Speaker 1>your life. Did you find it got easier for them?

0:29:10.280 --> 0:29:13.160
<v Speaker 1>Were you able to facilitate that better as time went on?

0:29:13.840 --> 0:29:15.880
<v Speaker 1>I found that it did get easier. I found that

0:29:15.920 --> 0:29:20.160
<v Speaker 1>at the very least, I think they became more comfortable.

0:29:20.200 --> 0:29:21.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I would say easy, but they

0:29:21.640 --> 0:29:25.240
<v Speaker 1>definitely became more comfortable and more experienced slash more practiced

0:29:25.840 --> 0:29:29.200
<v Speaker 1>at realizing Like, look, guys, there is a timeline structure here.

0:29:30.440 --> 0:29:33.520
<v Speaker 1>I know it is a reality show, but the the

0:29:34.000 --> 0:29:37.680
<v Speaker 1>you know it is we do have a show to make, right. Yeah,

0:29:37.960 --> 0:29:41.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm curious. Obviously, great call by Fox and by the

0:29:41.680 --> 0:29:44.240
<v Speaker 1>production team to call you to do this. You are

0:29:44.280 --> 0:29:47.440
<v Speaker 1>a natural fit. What made you want to do it

0:29:47.440 --> 0:29:50.600
<v Speaker 1>because obviously you have the sky's a limit for your

0:29:50.680 --> 0:29:53.920
<v Speaker 1>your career. You're crushing it in the country music world

0:29:54.480 --> 0:29:57.040
<v Speaker 1>when they call you, what was it about this that

0:29:57.080 --> 0:29:59.160
<v Speaker 1>you said, Yeah, you know what, I'm going to go

0:29:59.200 --> 0:30:02.840
<v Speaker 1>do reality t You know, I've done a little bit

0:30:02.880 --> 0:30:05.320
<v Speaker 1>of it here and there before. But really, for me,

0:30:05.480 --> 0:30:08.240
<v Speaker 1>what got me with this show is, you know, as

0:30:08.280 --> 0:30:13.120
<v Speaker 1>a as an artist, as a storyteller, I love telling stories,

0:30:13.360 --> 0:30:15.800
<v Speaker 1>and I love and as a romantic, I love a

0:30:15.840 --> 0:30:19.440
<v Speaker 1>love story. Okay, so who doesn't. So this I really

0:30:19.560 --> 0:30:22.520
<v Speaker 1>as I had learned more about the concept and saw,

0:30:22.840 --> 0:30:25.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, a few of the episodes from other shows

0:30:25.880 --> 0:30:30.120
<v Speaker 1>in other countries that they've done, I really felt like,

0:30:30.200 --> 0:30:35.040
<v Speaker 1>this is my opportunity to facilitate someone else's love story,

0:30:35.600 --> 0:30:38.720
<v Speaker 1>and I love being that kind of observer. For me

0:30:38.760 --> 0:30:43.200
<v Speaker 1>as an artist, I definitely pull from that, you know, observationally,

0:30:43.320 --> 0:30:45.400
<v Speaker 1>but to get to actually be a part of it

0:30:45.480 --> 0:30:49.200
<v Speaker 1>with someone, even if it's just adjacent, I felt like

0:30:49.280 --> 0:30:52.360
<v Speaker 1>that was a really fun opportunity. Well, and you've been

0:30:52.600 --> 0:30:55.840
<v Speaker 1>in the trenches before. You have loved publicly, you have lost,

0:30:55.880 --> 0:30:59.560
<v Speaker 1>you've been divorced, you've been remarried, so you have been

0:30:59.600 --> 0:31:01.800
<v Speaker 1>on that coaster ride, which I think is important as

0:31:01.800 --> 0:31:03.880
<v Speaker 1>a host because you have to truly be empathetic and

0:31:03.960 --> 0:31:06.360
<v Speaker 1>understand what are these people looking for, what are they

0:31:06.400 --> 0:31:09.120
<v Speaker 1>scared of, what are they afraid of in all of this,

0:31:09.280 --> 0:31:12.800
<v Speaker 1>So it makes you a better host. Oddly, the crazier

0:31:12.840 --> 0:31:16.120
<v Speaker 1>stuff you've been through personally. Yeah, I mean, and I

0:31:16.160 --> 0:31:18.360
<v Speaker 1>don't even know if I would says it's the crazier

0:31:18.360 --> 0:31:20.600
<v Speaker 1>because when we look at the majority of people, you

0:31:20.720 --> 0:31:24.600
<v Speaker 1>just life, it's just like it's just for people. But

0:31:24.800 --> 0:31:29.640
<v Speaker 1>I will say, you know, the more challenging and therefore

0:31:29.680 --> 0:31:31.880
<v Speaker 1>on the other side of it enriching. I think that

0:31:32.000 --> 0:31:36.120
<v Speaker 1>does add a patina, or it adds a level of

0:31:36.240 --> 0:31:41.080
<v Speaker 1>grounding where you're able to then offer something experientially that

0:31:41.240 --> 0:31:46.720
<v Speaker 1>feels authentic to someone who might be searching and struggling

0:31:47.120 --> 0:31:50.560
<v Speaker 1>within that kind of scenario where love is concerned. So

0:31:51.440 --> 0:31:53.880
<v Speaker 1>I said the same thing. I oddly was hired because

0:31:53.880 --> 0:31:55.920
<v Speaker 1>I was married and had a child at the time.

0:31:55.960 --> 0:31:58.040
<v Speaker 1>But I felt like I became a better host once

0:31:58.080 --> 0:32:01.440
<v Speaker 1>I got divorced and realized, oh, this is what's out there,

0:32:01.480 --> 0:32:04.840
<v Speaker 1>this is how hard it is to date. Yeah, and

0:32:04.880 --> 0:32:11.959
<v Speaker 1>also I think you know, it's just the older I get, Chris,

0:32:11.760 --> 0:32:16.920
<v Speaker 1>the more I realize that I have gone into way

0:32:17.040 --> 0:32:21.880
<v Speaker 1>darker caves and therefore come out way more enriched, with

0:32:22.000 --> 0:32:27.720
<v Speaker 1>way more skills than I ever did in my youth. Right,

0:32:27.760 --> 0:32:29.840
<v Speaker 1>And not to say because at the time everything feels

0:32:29.960 --> 0:32:32.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, when you're geting it, everything feels big. But

0:32:32.040 --> 0:32:35.560
<v Speaker 1>as I look back, the stakes as we get older,

0:32:35.640 --> 0:32:40.000
<v Speaker 1>become higher and higher. But so do you know, so

0:32:40.080 --> 0:32:44.440
<v Speaker 1>do the rewards. And so I feel like, yeah, that's

0:32:44.480 --> 0:32:46.960
<v Speaker 1>that's valuable, man. And that's what's beautiful because we start

0:32:47.000 --> 0:32:49.160
<v Speaker 1>seeing that in your music, you start seeing it in

0:32:49.200 --> 0:32:52.080
<v Speaker 1>your hosting skills, in your life. And I'm sure this

0:32:52.160 --> 0:32:55.960
<v Speaker 1>has poured out into the pages of your music. Has

0:32:55.960 --> 0:32:59.240
<v Speaker 1>there been some correlation or some kind of crossover into

0:32:59.280 --> 0:33:03.520
<v Speaker 1>your music from all this and this experience? I mean,

0:33:03.600 --> 0:33:06.400
<v Speaker 1>of course, I always you know, there are some there's

0:33:06.440 --> 0:33:08.959
<v Speaker 1>some of my music that is confessional, there's some of

0:33:08.960 --> 0:33:11.760
<v Speaker 1>it that is observational, there's some of it that is

0:33:12.040 --> 0:33:17.280
<v Speaker 1>absolutely fictitious. Um. But but I but you know, as

0:33:17.320 --> 0:33:21.400
<v Speaker 1>as an artist, we can't help but put our own

0:33:21.480 --> 0:33:24.040
<v Speaker 1>parts of ourselves into it. I may not understand what

0:33:24.080 --> 0:33:27.400
<v Speaker 1>a specific scenario is, but I definitely understand my version

0:33:27.440 --> 0:33:30.480
<v Speaker 1>of what the emotion behind it is. So all of that,

0:33:30.560 --> 0:33:35.320
<v Speaker 1>all of that life experience, for sure, it becomes what

0:33:35.400 --> 0:33:38.840
<v Speaker 1>I draw from as a writer and as as a

0:33:38.880 --> 0:33:42.040
<v Speaker 1>performer and as an artist or as a host, you know,

0:33:42.600 --> 0:33:44.360
<v Speaker 1>all of it. We pull from all of it. It

0:33:44.480 --> 0:33:48.600
<v Speaker 1>is interesting and I'm curious about your your idea of

0:33:48.640 --> 0:33:50.000
<v Speaker 1>what it was going to be like to host a

0:33:50.000 --> 0:33:54.880
<v Speaker 1>reality show and what it turned out to be. We know,

0:33:54.960 --> 0:33:57.040
<v Speaker 1>I did a little bit of it with this show

0:33:57.080 --> 0:34:02.360
<v Speaker 1>back what eleven years ago, UM called Duets very different.

0:34:02.960 --> 0:34:06.160
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't it wasn't romance reality, it wasn't dating reality.

0:34:06.200 --> 0:34:09.920
<v Speaker 1>It was like music competition reality. So I desert that

0:34:09.960 --> 0:34:12.359
<v Speaker 1>I did go big show. I was a judge on that.

0:34:13.040 --> 0:34:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Um so, so some of that live in the moment

0:34:16.600 --> 0:34:19.359
<v Speaker 1>element of it. You know, I definitely love and can

0:34:19.400 --> 0:34:23.759
<v Speaker 1>feed off of that. But but never having done um

0:34:23.920 --> 0:34:29.959
<v Speaker 1>the dating shows and the romantic shows, I wasn't necessarily surprised,

0:34:30.000 --> 0:34:33.400
<v Speaker 1>but I was happy to feel the connections that I

0:34:33.440 --> 0:34:36.200
<v Speaker 1>did when I was like invested myself, you know what

0:34:36.239 --> 0:34:40.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, Like, Oh, if I always felt if I cared,

0:34:40.760 --> 0:34:43.920
<v Speaker 1>then the people watching are going to care. Well, there

0:34:43.960 --> 0:34:46.239
<v Speaker 1>you go. And that's true. That's true because at the

0:34:46.320 --> 0:34:48.600
<v Speaker 1>end of the day, it's like we're all and I

0:34:48.600 --> 0:34:51.120
<v Speaker 1>say this as a fan, whether I'm listening to music,

0:34:51.200 --> 0:34:53.600
<v Speaker 1>watching television, a movie, or whatever it maybe we all

0:34:53.640 --> 0:34:57.239
<v Speaker 1>want to see elements of our own humanity within that.

0:34:57.400 --> 0:35:00.279
<v Speaker 1>So when when the person who is in the role

0:35:00.400 --> 0:35:04.759
<v Speaker 1>as a host is invested, you can be invested too,

0:35:04.880 --> 0:35:07.640
<v Speaker 1>especially if you trust that host. You know, and are

0:35:07.680 --> 0:35:09.640
<v Speaker 1>you a big fan? Are you a big country fan?

0:35:11.280 --> 0:35:13.960
<v Speaker 1>In that, do you try to see who's on the horizon,

0:35:14.000 --> 0:35:15.840
<v Speaker 1>who's up and coming, or do you just listen to

0:35:15.880 --> 0:35:19.560
<v Speaker 1>your old your old favorites, M a little bit of everything.

0:35:19.600 --> 0:35:22.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm you know, now because of social media,

0:35:22.239 --> 0:35:26.759
<v Speaker 1>I definitely get more information about who's on the horizon.

0:35:26.840 --> 0:35:28.680
<v Speaker 1>And with the way just simply with the way that

0:35:28.719 --> 0:35:32.920
<v Speaker 1>those algorithms work, I know, with the way that the

0:35:32.920 --> 0:35:34.839
<v Speaker 1>algorithms work, you know, they know what you like, they

0:35:34.840 --> 0:35:36.319
<v Speaker 1>know what you listen to, and they're going to offer

0:35:36.360 --> 0:35:38.960
<v Speaker 1>you some more of it that they think you're gonna like. Um,

0:35:39.000 --> 0:35:40.560
<v Speaker 1>some of which I do and some of which I don't.

0:35:40.640 --> 0:35:43.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm always watching my peers in terms of who they

0:35:44.040 --> 0:35:47.120
<v Speaker 1>also might be championing um so a little bit of both.

0:35:47.120 --> 0:35:50.680
<v Speaker 1>But I listen, I am definitely I'm going to age

0:35:50.680 --> 0:35:52.600
<v Speaker 1>myself here when I say this, but I'm definitely of

0:35:52.640 --> 0:35:55.040
<v Speaker 1>the age where, yeah, I love going back and listening

0:35:55.080 --> 0:35:59.120
<v Speaker 1>to what I have always loved listening to, which which

0:35:59.160 --> 0:36:03.359
<v Speaker 1>is who oh my god, so many. I mean like

0:36:03.600 --> 0:36:11.520
<v Speaker 1>it depends like Linda Ronstad, uh Stevie Nicks, the Indigo Girls,

0:36:12.160 --> 0:36:16.680
<v Speaker 1>Indigo Girls, all right, nineties baby right there, Oh, big time,

0:36:16.880 --> 0:36:18.759
<v Speaker 1>big time, big time, you know, and then and on that.

0:36:18.880 --> 0:36:21.040
<v Speaker 1>I could go off on a whole agent. We could

0:36:21.040 --> 0:36:23.880
<v Speaker 1>get into RM, we could get into Tory Amos, we

0:36:23.920 --> 0:36:26.160
<v Speaker 1>could get into we could go you liked a little

0:36:26.200 --> 0:36:29.200
<v Speaker 1>alternative back in the day, Oh totally. You were like

0:36:29.640 --> 0:36:32.200
<v Speaker 1>back into depeche Mode and Dran Durana you two, and

0:36:32.400 --> 0:36:34.960
<v Speaker 1>loving all of it, Okay, new wave, old way, all

0:36:35.000 --> 0:36:36.799
<v Speaker 1>of it. Yeah, I was. I was into all that

0:36:36.880 --> 0:36:40.640
<v Speaker 1>the cure forget about it. I mean, like loved, loved,

0:36:40.680 --> 0:36:43.319
<v Speaker 1>but I love all music and I still do. I

0:36:43.440 --> 0:36:45.400
<v Speaker 1>still do. But you know, in terms of when I

0:36:45.440 --> 0:36:47.440
<v Speaker 1>think about country, then I would probably go back to

0:36:47.480 --> 0:36:49.640
<v Speaker 1>the nineties too, you know, and I would look at

0:36:49.680 --> 0:36:52.040
<v Speaker 1>the Shannias and the Faiths and the Dixie Chicks and

0:36:52.360 --> 0:36:55.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, and and the Garths. Oh yeah, Martina McBride,

0:36:55.560 --> 0:36:58.560
<v Speaker 1>we can go on nineties Ladies for forever. Trishi, Trisha

0:36:58.640 --> 0:37:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Yearwood was killing it, when Kathy mattea Carpenter who I

0:37:05.320 --> 0:37:09.239
<v Speaker 1>still love, Oh my god, Nancy Griffin, Patty Griffin. I mean,

0:37:09.520 --> 0:37:15.080
<v Speaker 1>let's was there a place that when you it may

0:37:15.120 --> 0:37:17.560
<v Speaker 1>not be like Madison Square Garden or someplace huge, but

0:37:17.640 --> 0:37:20.120
<v Speaker 1>was there a place when you played there you thought

0:37:21.040 --> 0:37:23.399
<v Speaker 1>I did it? Like this is the place, Like I'm

0:37:23.400 --> 0:37:25.920
<v Speaker 1>here in Austin, Texas, so you know, whether it's Greenhall,

0:37:26.040 --> 0:37:28.520
<v Speaker 1>maybe you play a cl live or there's just certain

0:37:28.560 --> 0:37:31.160
<v Speaker 1>haunts around here that people play and you're like, this

0:37:31.200 --> 0:37:33.279
<v Speaker 1>has always been the place for me? What what bar?

0:37:33.520 --> 0:37:36.640
<v Speaker 1>What place was that for you? I mean I grew

0:37:36.680 --> 0:37:39.320
<v Speaker 1>up cutting my teeth in a little listening room in Atlanta,

0:37:39.440 --> 0:37:42.719
<v Speaker 1>really Decatur, Georgia called Eddie's Attic, and that place is

0:37:42.760 --> 0:37:47.040
<v Speaker 1>a gem of a space. But it's tiny. It's like tiny, tiny, tiny,

0:37:47.040 --> 0:37:49.360
<v Speaker 1>little listening room space. And that's where I started out.

0:37:49.640 --> 0:37:53.840
<v Speaker 1>But so many artists continue to flock to that, you know,

0:37:54.000 --> 0:37:57.839
<v Speaker 1>almost in pilgrimage. All that being said, for me in

0:37:57.920 --> 0:38:01.640
<v Speaker 1>terms of what you know might be more well known,

0:38:02.239 --> 0:38:06.200
<v Speaker 1>I would say a couple of things. Red Rocks for sure,

0:38:08.000 --> 0:38:15.760
<v Speaker 1>Iconic um Sesame Street. Wow, Okay, didn't see that coming.

0:38:16.520 --> 0:38:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah when because I you know, I grew up watching

0:38:20.239 --> 0:38:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Sesame Street and all of these artists that I loved

0:38:23.480 --> 0:38:29.279
<v Speaker 1>were there. Okay, everybody, James Tabe, You're right, everybody. And

0:38:29.360 --> 0:38:32.840
<v Speaker 1>so when I got on Sesame Street, I just I

0:38:33.040 --> 0:38:37.560
<v Speaker 1>don't know, it held such meaning to me. I don't

0:38:37.600 --> 0:38:40.720
<v Speaker 1>know if that sounds no, No, I love that answer,

0:38:41.239 --> 0:38:44.120
<v Speaker 1>but it's true. So so I and that shows also

0:38:44.160 --> 0:38:49.440
<v Speaker 1>to the spectrum in this wide, wild career that you know,

0:38:49.520 --> 0:38:54.520
<v Speaker 1>everything from Red Rocks to you know, to to Sesame

0:38:54.640 --> 0:38:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Street is just wild. I think Kennedy Center Honors was

0:38:59.040 --> 0:39:02.080
<v Speaker 1>huge for me when I I got to honor. I

0:39:02.120 --> 0:39:05.640
<v Speaker 1>got to perform on that twice, one honoring um Neil

0:39:05.719 --> 0:39:09.399
<v Speaker 1>Diamond and the other Bruce Springsteen. I just saw him

0:39:09.440 --> 0:39:13.040
<v Speaker 1>here in Austin last week at the Moody Center, seventy

0:39:13.080 --> 0:39:17.399
<v Speaker 1>three years old and just killing it, killing the game,

0:39:17.719 --> 0:39:20.719
<v Speaker 1>I mean crushed it. And the King, George Strait is

0:39:20.719 --> 0:39:22.239
<v Speaker 1>the one who came on and introduced him. It was

0:39:22.239 --> 0:39:25.239
<v Speaker 1>a great night. Oh my god. So I now that

0:39:25.520 --> 0:39:29.200
<v Speaker 1>I know your musical taste, was Red Rocks a big

0:39:29.239 --> 0:39:35.640
<v Speaker 1>deal for you because of the YouTube video? Totally? Totally.

0:39:35.680 --> 0:39:39.719
<v Speaker 1>I wanted the smoke, the red, all of it, all

0:39:39.760 --> 0:39:43.360
<v Speaker 1>of it. That's funny. Go back, kids, go google YouTube

0:39:43.480 --> 0:39:47.000
<v Speaker 1>and Red Rocks and the famous video. That's that's very funny.

0:39:47.040 --> 0:39:50.600
<v Speaker 1>So one thing about hosting a reality show like Pharmer

0:39:50.680 --> 0:39:55.120
<v Speaker 1>once a wife, your love life and your private life

0:39:55.120 --> 0:40:00.200
<v Speaker 1>becomes more open, or at least that's what people expect, right,

0:40:00.239 --> 0:40:01.680
<v Speaker 1>So have you found that? Have you found a lot

0:40:01.719 --> 0:40:04.200
<v Speaker 1>more interviews? People are asking because you seem to be

0:40:04.200 --> 0:40:08.600
<v Speaker 1>a little private about your love life this go around private. Yeah,

0:40:08.680 --> 0:40:11.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm super private about it. But at the same time,

0:40:11.560 --> 0:40:14.880
<v Speaker 1>while you know, I have some things that are protectively

0:40:15.000 --> 0:40:18.360
<v Speaker 1>off limits for me, myself, my heart is very open,

0:40:18.719 --> 0:40:23.600
<v Speaker 1>so you know, where sharing the matters of the heart

0:40:24.840 --> 0:40:28.200
<v Speaker 1>without trying to get into like weird celebrity details that

0:40:28.239 --> 0:40:31.200
<v Speaker 1>people just want to know, which I don't even want

0:40:31.239 --> 0:40:34.160
<v Speaker 1>to know that about other people, but okay, some people do.

0:40:36.600 --> 0:40:40.359
<v Speaker 1>I definitely feel open when I share. When I share

0:40:40.360 --> 0:40:42.399
<v Speaker 1>it from that context, you know what I'm saying from

0:40:42.400 --> 0:40:45.560
<v Speaker 1>the context of But did that change. You were married

0:40:45.600 --> 0:40:50.840
<v Speaker 1>once before, were you more open in that affair relationship

0:40:51.080 --> 0:40:53.319
<v Speaker 1>than your second marriage? Like, did you learn something from

0:40:53.320 --> 0:40:55.719
<v Speaker 1>that first one where you're like, Okay, next time, I'm

0:40:55.760 --> 0:40:57.799
<v Speaker 1>gonna kind of keep the door a little closed. No,

0:40:57.960 --> 0:41:00.239
<v Speaker 1>I mean the ways that it's happened for me over

0:41:00.280 --> 0:41:02.719
<v Speaker 1>my career where where that you know, that graph of

0:41:02.760 --> 0:41:06.239
<v Speaker 1>my personal life and my work life I've intersected. The

0:41:06.320 --> 0:41:08.800
<v Speaker 1>timing of it has been such that I've I've never

0:41:08.840 --> 0:41:12.520
<v Speaker 1>been one to be super out there in terms of

0:41:12.560 --> 0:41:15.560
<v Speaker 1>my private life. I just feel like, you know, for me,

0:41:16.120 --> 0:41:19.640
<v Speaker 1>I put myself into my work so much, and the

0:41:19.680 --> 0:41:23.560
<v Speaker 1>people that I love I want to protect them and

0:41:24.440 --> 0:41:26.200
<v Speaker 1>they don't need to be subjected to that. And I've

0:41:26.239 --> 0:41:28.840
<v Speaker 1>always been like that. To see what's next for you

0:41:31.160 --> 0:41:35.640
<v Speaker 1>so much friend, um always always fingers popping. I mean

0:41:35.680 --> 0:41:40.399
<v Speaker 1>I have. I just announced this last week. I'm in

0:41:40.440 --> 0:41:43.400
<v Speaker 1>the movie The Exorcist. I just got no way in

0:41:43.480 --> 0:41:46.880
<v Speaker 1>terms of my acting yep, yep. So I'm always congratulations,

0:41:47.719 --> 0:41:50.160
<v Speaker 1>thank you, And it's a it's a it's a key role.

0:41:50.280 --> 0:41:51.960
<v Speaker 1>And I can't say a ton about it because they

0:41:52.000 --> 0:41:53.839
<v Speaker 1>just announced it and they're trying to keep everything else

0:41:53.920 --> 0:41:57.680
<v Speaker 1>under wraps, but it's it's I can't wait for everybody

0:41:57.719 --> 0:42:01.560
<v Speaker 1>to see it. And it has been so enriching and rewarding,

0:42:01.640 --> 0:42:04.360
<v Speaker 1>so we get to see a dark side of Jennifer Nettles.

0:42:04.680 --> 0:42:08.120
<v Speaker 1>M I love it. And then what else, you know,

0:42:08.160 --> 0:42:10.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm working on a musical that I've been working on

0:42:10.239 --> 0:42:12.880
<v Speaker 1>for years. It has become Chris what I call my

0:42:13.000 --> 0:42:15.880
<v Speaker 1>great White Whale. It is my Mobe Dick. Okay, I

0:42:15.960 --> 0:42:19.960
<v Speaker 1>am obsessed. I am, and it's too at critical mass

0:42:20.040 --> 0:42:23.279
<v Speaker 1>right now where it's it's I've spend most of my

0:42:23.360 --> 0:42:26.160
<v Speaker 1>creative time on that. So you've reached that tipping point.

0:42:26.160 --> 0:42:29.160
<v Speaker 1>We're doing this. This is going oh yeah, oh yeah,

0:42:29.200 --> 0:42:31.680
<v Speaker 1>it's happening, and it's like, you know, it has picked

0:42:31.760 --> 0:42:35.560
<v Speaker 1>up momentum as it has started to circle. So it's like, okay,

0:42:35.640 --> 0:42:39.200
<v Speaker 1>like it is. It's it's getting ready for whatever the

0:42:39.600 --> 0:42:43.000
<v Speaker 1>next phase is. But it is definitely that's been a

0:42:43.040 --> 0:42:46.760
<v Speaker 1>long and rewarding process and by nature, those are quite

0:42:46.760 --> 0:42:49.680
<v Speaker 1>timely to right. So those are those are a couple

0:42:49.719 --> 0:42:53.799
<v Speaker 1>of things. Obviously righteous gemstones on HBO that I do.

0:42:53.880 --> 0:42:56.200
<v Speaker 1>We finished our third season that should be out I

0:42:56.239 --> 0:42:58.520
<v Speaker 1>think the summer. Maybe, I don't know. If they've announced

0:42:58.520 --> 0:43:01.480
<v Speaker 1>when that's happening. But yeah, so a few things coming

0:43:01.560 --> 0:43:03.040
<v Speaker 1>up and then play a little country music on the

0:43:03.080 --> 0:43:05.560
<v Speaker 1>side and host a reality show. Been a little bit

0:43:05.560 --> 0:43:08.280
<v Speaker 1>of country music and yep, I'll be in your homes

0:43:08.280 --> 0:43:11.080
<v Speaker 1>every night that you will, I don't know, click it

0:43:11.160 --> 0:43:14.000
<v Speaker 1>or stream it. Jennifer, we have never had the pleasure

0:43:19.760 --> 0:43:22.640

0:43:22.680 --> 0:43:24.279
<v Speaker 1>Wants a Wife. I think you did a great job.

0:43:24.320 --> 0:43:26.560
<v Speaker 1>You fit in for someone who's I know you've kind

0:43:26.600 --> 0:43:28.399
<v Speaker 1>of dabbled in it, but to step into that role

0:43:28.800 --> 0:43:30.920
<v Speaker 1>it's not easy, and it's easy to look like a

0:43:30.960 --> 0:43:33.080
<v Speaker 1>fish out of water, and you didn't. You look really

0:43:33.120 --> 0:43:35.359
<v Speaker 1>comfortable you That means a lot coming from you, Chris,

0:43:53.520 --> 0:43:56.840
<v Speaker 1>The host of Farmer Wants a Wife. Farmer Wants a Wife.

0:43:57.160 --> 0:44:00.200
<v Speaker 1>There's four cowboys in there. Coming up next. One of

0:44:00.200 --> 0:44:03.399
<v Speaker 1>those cowboys, Hunter Grayson, is going to join us right

0:44:03.400 --> 0:44:17.759
<v Speaker 1>after this. Welcome back to the most dramatic podcast ever.

0:44:17.840 --> 0:44:20.840
<v Speaker 1>Chris Harrison and we just talked to the amazing Jennifer Nettles,

0:44:20.880 --> 0:44:24.160
<v Speaker 1>the host of Farmer Wants a Wife. Well, I wanted

0:44:24.200 --> 0:44:26.000
<v Speaker 1>to talk to one of the farmers. What was it

0:44:26.080 --> 0:44:29.479
<v Speaker 1>like to be one of the four joining us from

0:44:29.600 --> 0:44:35.080
<v Speaker 1>I assume Georgia, Hunter Grayson. He's out there on the farm. Hunter.

0:44:35.160 --> 0:44:38.799
<v Speaker 1>How are you doing, Bud? I'm doing pretty good. How

0:44:38.800 --> 0:44:42.120
<v Speaker 1>are you doing? If anybody thinks that this show is

0:44:42.160 --> 0:44:45.520
<v Speaker 1>not legit, trust me. I've been waiting on Hunter for

0:44:45.560 --> 0:44:47.920
<v Speaker 1>fifteen minutes because I don't know where you are. But

0:44:48.000 --> 0:44:51.799
<v Speaker 1>he has no service. He has no wireless internet. The

0:44:51.880 --> 0:44:54.360
<v Speaker 1>poor guy can't even get in to do a podcast.

0:44:57.080 --> 0:44:59.520
<v Speaker 1>I had some cows get out telling him I had

0:44:59.520 --> 0:45:03.360
<v Speaker 1>a podcast. Apparently not a good enough excuse for the bovine.

0:45:03.719 --> 0:45:06.759
<v Speaker 1>They didn't seem to care at all about the fact

0:45:06.760 --> 0:45:10.040
<v Speaker 1>that you had an interview to do. Hey man, congratulations,

0:45:10.080 --> 0:45:13.480
<v Speaker 1>it's really good to meet you. Watch the first episode

0:45:13.760 --> 0:45:16.799
<v Speaker 1>and really had a lot of fun. As a Texas guy,

0:45:17.200 --> 0:45:19.440
<v Speaker 1>I relate to this show as I think a lot

0:45:19.440 --> 0:45:23.840
<v Speaker 1>of people in the Heartland will. What was your first

0:45:23.880 --> 0:45:27.160
<v Speaker 1>take when you heard about the concept and how did

0:45:27.160 --> 0:45:30.680
<v Speaker 1>you get involved? Did someone initially bring you up or

0:45:30.719 --> 0:45:36.920
<v Speaker 1>did you actually go and try this out yourself? Initially

0:45:36.960 --> 0:45:41.480
<v Speaker 1>I was approached for being on the show, and you know,

0:45:41.560 --> 0:45:45.000
<v Speaker 1>at the time, I was single and just there hadn't

0:45:45.040 --> 0:45:47.359
<v Speaker 1>been a whole lot of luck in the dating world

0:45:47.440 --> 0:45:50.680
<v Speaker 1>prior to and so you know, but you know all two, Well,

0:45:50.719 --> 0:45:53.560
<v Speaker 1>so I'll just kind of like, why not try it

0:45:53.560 --> 0:45:56.880
<v Speaker 1>on TV? Yeah, well, it reminded me of I used

0:45:56.920 --> 0:45:58.960
<v Speaker 1>to host a show called The Bachelor, and we did

0:45:58.960 --> 0:46:01.480
<v Speaker 1>a season with this guy, Chris Souls, who was a

0:46:01.520 --> 0:46:04.480
<v Speaker 1>farmer out in Iowa. And I went to his house

0:46:05.040 --> 0:46:07.919
<v Speaker 1>and so I know, when you say you are out there,

0:46:08.320 --> 0:46:10.759
<v Speaker 1>you guys are out there. I mean, where is the

0:46:10.840 --> 0:46:15.040
<v Speaker 1>next big town from your house? If you got in

0:46:15.080 --> 0:46:16.799
<v Speaker 1>a car right now you wanted to go have a

0:46:16.800 --> 0:46:22.479
<v Speaker 1>good meal, how far are we driving? Oh, you wanted

0:46:22.520 --> 0:46:25.960
<v Speaker 1>an average meal, you could go the Athens, Georgia. It's

0:46:25.960 --> 0:46:30.240
<v Speaker 1>about fifteen minutes for me. Atlanta's about an hour, So well,

0:46:30.480 --> 0:46:34.120
<v Speaker 1>actually Atlanta's an hour from Atlanta, so it just depends

0:46:34.120 --> 0:46:36.800
<v Speaker 1>on drafting. So not easy for a guy like you

0:46:37.080 --> 0:46:43.839
<v Speaker 1>to find love, no, sir, And they bring you on

0:46:43.880 --> 0:46:48.520
<v Speaker 1>this show, And what was the process like at first?

0:46:48.520 --> 0:46:51.800
<v Speaker 1>Because I know you guys did some whittling down before

0:46:51.880 --> 0:46:54.759
<v Speaker 1>that first episode. How many women did they show you?

0:46:54.840 --> 0:46:57.520
<v Speaker 1>What was your process like going through and trying to

0:46:57.560 --> 0:47:03.880
<v Speaker 1>figure out that initial eight that you started with. Oh goodness, Uh,

0:47:06.360 --> 0:47:08.640
<v Speaker 1>that was pretty grueling. If I'm gonna be you know,

0:47:08.800 --> 0:47:13.520
<v Speaker 1>straightforward and honest. It's We were presented with some profiles

0:47:13.560 --> 0:47:16.719
<v Speaker 1>of some just stunning ladies, and we kind of got

0:47:16.760 --> 0:47:20.480
<v Speaker 1>a little brief bio about them and where they were from,

0:47:20.480 --> 0:47:22.759
<v Speaker 1>and just you know, just kind of got kind of

0:47:22.760 --> 0:47:25.200
<v Speaker 1>a foot in the door about who we might be meeting,

0:47:25.200 --> 0:47:29.719
<v Speaker 1>and we had to sort through the ones that we

0:47:29.719 --> 0:47:32.640
<v Speaker 1>thought were going to work better on our individual farms

0:47:32.640 --> 0:47:35.520
<v Speaker 1>and ranches. And it was kind of, you know, almost

0:47:35.600 --> 0:47:39.480
<v Speaker 1>like a dating profile that we sifted through originally and

0:47:39.640 --> 0:47:42.279
<v Speaker 1>sorted it down to the ones we got to meet.

0:47:42.320 --> 0:47:46.959
<v Speaker 1>And sparks flew from there. And you go from being

0:47:47.040 --> 0:47:52.279
<v Speaker 1>single on your farm there in Watkinsville, Georgia, and now

0:47:52.320 --> 0:47:55.759
<v Speaker 1>you have five women who you do not know and

0:47:55.880 --> 0:47:58.320
<v Speaker 1>you really have never met other than the one speed

0:47:58.400 --> 0:48:05.239
<v Speaker 1>dating moment, and you're gonna move them onto your farm. Well, Chris,

0:48:05.280 --> 0:48:07.319
<v Speaker 1>I would say I've done crazier things in life, but

0:48:07.360 --> 0:48:10.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that that would be the most truthful

0:48:10.680 --> 0:48:16.480
<v Speaker 1>thing I've ever said. Yeah, it was a it's been

0:48:16.520 --> 0:48:20.760
<v Speaker 1>an eye opening experiences U Thus far, it's been a

0:48:20.760 --> 0:48:23.759
<v Speaker 1>phenomenal ride, and I'm just really looking forward to what

0:48:23.920 --> 0:48:26.640
<v Speaker 1>it has laid ahead. What was the most awkward part?

0:48:27.040 --> 0:48:30.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, because you know when on other shows there's

0:48:30.160 --> 0:48:33.480
<v Speaker 1>a mansion, there's a resort, you know, it's it's a

0:48:33.600 --> 0:48:37.360
<v Speaker 1>curated experience. This experience, you're going straight to the hometown,

0:48:37.520 --> 0:48:41.319
<v Speaker 1>straight to Hunter's actual farm in his house. So what

0:48:41.440 --> 0:48:43.800
<v Speaker 1>was the most awkward part of opening up your life

0:48:44.239 --> 0:48:50.839
<v Speaker 1>like that to these ladies and national television. You know, Uh,

0:48:50.880 --> 0:48:54.719
<v Speaker 1>that's a great question. It's I thought a lot about that,

0:48:54.760 --> 0:48:57.759
<v Speaker 1>and I think that's that answer changes on a on

0:48:57.880 --> 0:49:04.000
<v Speaker 1>the daily, but it um, you know, I let the

0:49:04.040 --> 0:49:06.239
<v Speaker 1>ladies live in my house. I actually live in an

0:49:06.280 --> 0:49:08.040
<v Speaker 1>apartment over the top of my bar, and I saw

0:49:08.040 --> 0:49:10.600
<v Speaker 1>a barn minium, and I let the ladies live in

0:49:10.680 --> 0:49:13.840
<v Speaker 1>my house. And I lived in my rodeo trailer, which is,

0:49:14.040 --> 0:49:18.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, just a living quarters horse trailer, and that

0:49:18.200 --> 0:49:20.839
<v Speaker 1>was a big adjust to me. I was. I moved

0:49:20.880 --> 0:49:25.120
<v Speaker 1>from a you know, twenty two hundred square foot apartment

0:49:25.120 --> 0:49:30.920
<v Speaker 1>to a eight by twenty foot long living quarters and

0:49:32.040 --> 0:49:35.279
<v Speaker 1>my dog quickly kicked himself out of that and he

0:49:35.360 --> 0:49:37.840
<v Speaker 1>decided to come live with the girls. Smart. That's a

0:49:37.880 --> 0:49:42.920
<v Speaker 1>smart dog. I can't blame him. So can this work?

0:49:43.320 --> 0:49:46.720
<v Speaker 1>Can we bring these city girls out to the farm

0:49:47.480 --> 0:49:50.879
<v Speaker 1>and you truly find love this fish out of water

0:49:51.000 --> 0:49:55.399
<v Speaker 1>kind of social experiment. You know, I have said at

0:49:55.440 --> 0:49:57.959
<v Speaker 1>least one hundred thousand times stay tuned to find out,

0:49:58.880 --> 0:50:01.319
<v Speaker 1>and I think i'd answer I have to answer that

0:50:01.400 --> 0:50:04.880
<v Speaker 1>to myself with this, I will say with this show,

0:50:04.880 --> 0:50:07.239
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not I don't have a whole lot of

0:50:07.800 --> 0:50:09.759
<v Speaker 1>time to watch a lot of shows and whatnot. But

0:50:09.800 --> 0:50:12.319
<v Speaker 1>I know, like you said, some other shows, they're going

0:50:12.320 --> 0:50:14.919
<v Speaker 1>off to boor or boor or whatever around the world

0:50:14.960 --> 0:50:18.120
<v Speaker 1>and basically going on on, you know, a vacation with

0:50:18.800 --> 0:50:21.160
<v Speaker 1>the group of people that they're pursuing and then they

0:50:21.200 --> 0:50:23.719
<v Speaker 1>have to come back to reality. This show really does

0:50:23.760 --> 0:50:26.959
<v Speaker 1>put the real in reality, like they're not. We didn't

0:50:26.960 --> 0:50:31.560
<v Speaker 1>go on some glamorous vacation to just go hang out

0:50:31.600 --> 0:50:35.759
<v Speaker 1>for two months. This was these ladies put their life

0:50:35.760 --> 0:50:40.040
<v Speaker 1>on hold and came out here. See what we do

0:50:40.160 --> 0:50:43.759
<v Speaker 1>here out in the ranch. And what they didn't know

0:50:43.840 --> 0:50:47.040
<v Speaker 1>they picked up quickly and we're at least willing to learn. Look,

0:50:47.040 --> 0:50:49.000
<v Speaker 1>and I'm sure, I'm sure it's different for Alan and

0:50:49.080 --> 0:50:51.800
<v Speaker 1>Ryan and Land and the other three farmers and cowboys

0:50:51.840 --> 0:50:54.920
<v Speaker 1>in this show. But for you, what is a day

0:50:54.960 --> 0:50:58.359
<v Speaker 1>in the life like you know? Whoever, if you end

0:50:58.440 --> 0:51:01.600
<v Speaker 1>up with somebody, is their life? What can they expect

0:51:01.600 --> 0:51:09.320
<v Speaker 1>on the daily? Um? Uh, A lot of early mornings,

0:51:09.400 --> 0:51:13.120
<v Speaker 1>late nights and a lot of hard work in between.

0:51:13.200 --> 0:51:16.520
<v Speaker 1>But it there's a lot of beauty in it. It's

0:51:16.560 --> 0:51:20.200
<v Speaker 1>one of those professions. It's that it's not a profession,

0:51:20.239 --> 0:51:25.840
<v Speaker 1>it's a lifestyle. It's uh a lifestyle that basically just

0:51:25.920 --> 0:51:28.560
<v Speaker 1>takes over everything about you. You know that we've had

0:51:29.120 --> 0:51:33.120
<v Speaker 1>good days, bad days, fun ones, tough ones, everything all

0:51:33.160 --> 0:51:37.440
<v Speaker 1>in between. But there's there's so much beauty in the

0:51:37.520 --> 0:51:41.759
<v Speaker 1>simplicity of certain aspects of it and the trials of

0:51:41.800 --> 0:51:44.439
<v Speaker 1>the hard parts that it just averages it all out

0:51:44.480 --> 0:51:46.600
<v Speaker 1>and it makes it just a beautiful, a beautiful way

0:51:46.600 --> 0:51:51.000
<v Speaker 1>of life. And you know, I'm not gonna say whoever

0:51:52.040 --> 0:51:54.600
<v Speaker 1>they or may not end up with is a lucky

0:51:54.640 --> 0:51:56.879
<v Speaker 1>one or anything like that. I'll definitely be a lucky one.

0:51:57.120 --> 0:51:59.000
<v Speaker 1>I'll be the lucky one based on the women on

0:51:59.080 --> 0:52:03.600
<v Speaker 1>My Way exactly. It's something that I'm so excited to

0:52:03.600 --> 0:52:06.480
<v Speaker 1>share with someone. It's a see you run a two

0:52:06.600 --> 0:52:09.720
<v Speaker 1>hundred acre ranch, I mean legit cattle and horse rancher.

0:52:10.400 --> 0:52:12.560
<v Speaker 1>Little known facts because we haven't really gotten to know

0:52:12.640 --> 0:52:15.200
<v Speaker 1>you yet in those early episodes, but you play in

0:52:15.239 --> 0:52:18.680

0:52:45.800 --> 0:52:47.560
<v Speaker 1>the host, and I was already excited about that. But

0:52:47.640 --> 0:52:49.400
<v Speaker 1>when you're just when you're standing there and you just

0:52:50.719 --> 0:52:53.839
<v Speaker 1>you're hit by. I mean just she's just naturally a star,

0:52:54.040 --> 0:52:55.879
<v Speaker 1>like I'm just I don't mean just on stage. She's

0:52:55.920 --> 0:53:01.040
<v Speaker 1>just such a bright person and she made everything so

0:53:01.200 --> 0:53:03.279
<v Speaker 1>enjoyable and as easy as it could be. I mean,

0:53:03.280 --> 0:53:05.640
<v Speaker 1>there were a lot of difficult decisions, but just her

0:53:07.920 --> 0:53:11.399
<v Speaker 1>her genuineness is like she just made everything so easy

0:53:11.400 --> 0:53:14.759
<v Speaker 1>and so smooth, and she just had that good down

0:53:14.840 --> 0:53:20.000
<v Speaker 1>home field. It made everything absolutely that much more enjoyable.

0:53:20.040 --> 0:53:22.239
<v Speaker 1>You know, the band stuff cool, and so I just

0:53:22.320 --> 0:53:25.000
<v Speaker 1>to be standing next to country music royalty like that

0:53:25.120 --> 0:53:28.879
<v Speaker 1>was was a cool little depth in my step. Well,

0:53:28.920 --> 0:53:30.960
<v Speaker 1>and I talked to her earlier, and I know it

0:53:30.960 --> 0:53:33.399
<v Speaker 1>was difficult because we're talking about four cowboys at four

0:53:33.400 --> 0:53:35.719
<v Speaker 1>different ranches around the country that aren't easy to get to,

0:53:36.080 --> 0:53:37.919
<v Speaker 1>so she didn't get to spend a ton of time

0:53:37.960 --> 0:53:41.160
<v Speaker 1>at each house. But was she able to impart some

0:53:41.200 --> 0:53:43.239
<v Speaker 1>wisdom and kind of help you guys when y'all were

0:53:43.239 --> 0:53:48.480
<v Speaker 1>all together. Yes, she offered so much wisdom and guidance,

0:53:48.480 --> 0:53:50.759
<v Speaker 1>and she was there with us through every step, the

0:53:52.040 --> 0:53:54.640
<v Speaker 1>fun times we had, the tough times we shared, and

0:53:55.160 --> 0:53:57.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, it was we've really become a really close,

0:53:57.560 --> 0:54:00.760
<v Speaker 1>close knit group and it felt a lot like family

0:54:00.800 --> 0:54:03.560
<v Speaker 1>when you're making these tough decisions and everybody had each

0:54:03.560 --> 0:54:06.640
<v Speaker 1>other's back and yeah, from the guys to the girls.

0:54:06.640 --> 0:54:10.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean it was everything. Everybody was such a good team,

0:54:10.760 --> 0:54:12.880
<v Speaker 1>a team player and just supporting each other and you

0:54:12.920 --> 0:54:19.640
<v Speaker 1>know everybody's endeavors. It made everything truly a great experience.

0:54:19.760 --> 0:54:24.520
<v Speaker 1>Be honest, did you slipper a demo tape and just say, hey,

0:54:24.840 --> 0:54:26.839
<v Speaker 1>this is this is the Hat Creek Band. Just take

0:54:26.840 --> 0:54:33.400
<v Speaker 1>a listen, tell me what you think. No, sir, I'm

0:54:33.440 --> 0:54:35.640
<v Speaker 1>sure I'll kick myself later in life for that. But

0:54:35.800 --> 0:54:38.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, I love the music, but I didn't want

0:54:38.320 --> 0:54:42.120
<v Speaker 1>I didn't want this opportunity to be just like pushing

0:54:42.160 --> 0:54:44.320
<v Speaker 1>towards my music. This was I'm not looking for a partner,

0:54:44.400 --> 0:54:47.800
<v Speaker 1>business partner, you know, farmhand or anything like that, or

0:54:47.840 --> 0:54:51.479
<v Speaker 1>a publicity deal. I'm looking for a partner in life,

0:54:51.520 --> 0:54:53.920
<v Speaker 1>and I really wanted at the end of the day,

0:54:53.920 --> 0:54:55.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm a cattle wrencher. I happened to sing music, and

0:54:56.040 --> 0:54:58.319
<v Speaker 1>I've had some success with that and it's been a

0:54:58.320 --> 0:55:00.360
<v Speaker 1>lot of fun. But there's never been to be a

0:55:00.360 --> 0:55:03.440
<v Speaker 1>song song, or a note played or a stage performed

0:55:03.480 --> 0:55:06.400
<v Speaker 1>on that's going to keep me from missing my potential

0:55:06.480 --> 0:55:11.399
<v Speaker 1>kids first steps. Your bandmates are going to kick your butt,

0:55:11.440 --> 0:55:17.359
<v Speaker 1>but I appreciate the sentiment. Hunter. I'm glad I got

0:55:17.400 --> 0:55:19.520
<v Speaker 1>to know you man. You are the real deal. And

0:55:19.719 --> 0:55:22.320
<v Speaker 1>this show is too. Farmer Wants a Wife it's a

0:55:22.400 --> 0:55:27.439
<v Speaker 1>it's a great look into the heartland into a bunch

0:55:27.440 --> 0:55:30.960
