Speaker 1: back into your body, just like being bread that well

34
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: you like walk literally Ashley walks right in through the door,

35
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: sets her suitcased out, and then comes up and puts

36
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: on her headset and I was like, what, like we're

37
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: doing this? You're going right, and like what a boss woman.

38
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: Jared and I came. We we had a six am

39
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: fly out of Boston this morning to Tahoe, had a

40
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: layover in Phoenix. We were up till midnight last night

41
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: for a good reason. We went to a Rob Thomas concert.

42
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: We're now officially not just a friend friendly with Rob.

43
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: You're like just straight up the front of them, which

44
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: is pretty awesome. Is he coming to the wedding. There's

45
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: a very slim chance. He said he has some things

46
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: to attend to with his wife that week, but he

47
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: wasn't invited, and he very much appreciates the you know,

48
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: those sentiments. But he's very super awesome. Jared has definitely

49
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 1: got me on the Rob Thomas train. But then it

50
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: was just like, it's just those I think it's funny

51
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: when when Ben's here and he's like, actually, you're getting married.

52
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: Do you feel full of love right now? I'm like, Ben,

53
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say I feel full of love right now,

54
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: but I'm really just full of freaking stress because it

55
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: is that last two months going into the wedding where

56
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: you're like, I need that week to come now because

57
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: these small details that I never would have thought would

58
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,959
Speaker 1: cross my mind come up. What is stressing out the most? Well, okay,

59
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: just a great example. My wedding planner just sent me

60
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: an email. There was we thought that the band was

61
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: going to cover these movie scores that we're going to play.

62
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 1: But the band doesn't have strings, and I go what

63
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 1: I go to? The whole point was to have a cello,

64
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: a violin and a piano to play movie scores during dinner.

65
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: It would be awesome, right, This is one of like

66
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: jarity detail oriented. It's just it's one of the personality here.

67
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: You want to freaking tell her. So we found out

68
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: that the orchestra. We have this band, Um, they're coming

69
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: in our wedding planners just like obsessed with them. But

70
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: last week we realized that they've been calling themselves an orchestra,

71
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: but truly they're a band because there's no string and

72
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: I go, oh, I've been assuming an orchestra I would

73
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: have strings. So anyway, we just watched like a YouTube

74
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: clip of No I Know performed. They have different varieties, okay,

75
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: and we have the variety that it comes without the strings.

76
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: So we had to go and get a trio. Am

77
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: I boring everyone already now? So we had to get

78
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: um figure out a trio in the area that could

79
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: play our date. So my wedding planner and his team

80
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: find one. But I just while pulling up to this

81
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: cabin found out that they want to charge hundred dollars

82
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: for just thirty five minutes. What eyes were like, bug out?

83
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: Yeah really, so I'm like, are you freaking kidding me?

84
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: You know I have a solution. Can we just like

85
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,679
Speaker 1: sync up Spotify and just play it over a speaker

86
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: to create the same effect. You can hire like like

87
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: an actor, like those improv actors that we tend to

88
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: play like really they're not actually like it's just a speaker.

89
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like when push comes the shop, let's

90
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: be resourceful here, all right, I think I'm going I

91
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: got a month subscription. You can have it like it's

92
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: yours by getting Well, I'll let you know if you

93
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: have to revert to that, but I'm absolutely not paying

94
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: anyone five minutes supply and demand. Well, you're in Rhode Island,

95
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: so it's like the population of like a thousand people,

96
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: like the chance to feel like the only people in

97
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: the entire state. Yeah, what was the number one stressful

98
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 1: thing for you guys? And playing the wedding? I know

99
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 1: that like ABC really took care of you guys, as

100
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: they do with all their weddings, But what was like

101
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 1: something that you had a difficult time deciding on. I

102
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: would say, Um, what was just really really stressful for

103
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: me was hair and makeup. I didn't have a hair

104
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: makeup trial until less than twenty hours before the Oh.

105
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 1: I remember it was like it was I was having

106
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: so much anxiety, and I think, really what it was

107
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: was just, um, you're just nervous. And we hadn't written

108
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: our vows until the morning of that question, what in

109
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: the world are you thinking? You know, I just need

110
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: to be inspired. And I thought, Chris, and I'm going

111
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: to allocate some time too. I thought we'd have the

112
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: time to go to the beach and have this romantic

113
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: moment where we write it, you know, under the stars

114
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: and a shooting star goes back, have it like it's

115
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 1: just like time goes by so fast and suddenly you're

116
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: there and suddenly it's the day before we're leaving, and

117
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: just so much accommodating with friends and family, and for us,

118
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: it was just it was a lot of people constantly

119
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: coming in that it was really fun and exciting, but

120
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: kept us from things like writing our vows until the

121
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: day before. But I will say that once I had

122
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: them done, Um, I said everything I wanted and I

123
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: had to do it in that Moment's great, writer, Dan,

124
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 1: you wanted to find a moment that inspires and is

125
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 1: amused for you because like you do want like a

126
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: romantic quiet time, and in the midst of this last

127
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 1: minute wedding planning, you don't really find that. You find

128
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: yourselves like more like what arena do with that? Wouldn't

129
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 1: do that, and like less of it, like less of

130
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: its romantic and honestly, like Chris and I, we have

131
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: been talking with ABC for months but we didn't get

132
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: the final confirmation until like a month before. I remember

133
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: when we asked you were like, is it happening? And

134
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: You're like it was like You're like, um, it's still

135
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: kind of up lying on it and say it living

136
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: the weekend open, I'm like, am I getting married or not?

137
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: Do I start like this workout program or where's my car?

138
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: But my ratio right now? But you know it all

139
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: worked out, and I do have to say like you're

140
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: there in that moment and looking around and it was

141
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: wild because it was like our family plus like a

Speaker 1: I was there with all my friends and we were

156
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: all doing this like circuit style work out, like twelve

157
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: of us and at least I think was there. She

158
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: was she there that day or the day before, but

159
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: we took over the gym. That are still a little

160
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: work out her day the day of her wedding. Um,

161
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: so of course, yeah, I gotta get that triset pump.

162
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: You think that's real, Like it really like if you

163
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: do it the day of, like you get the definition

164
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: you do. But most importantly, you just get in like

165
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 1: a mental space where you're like Okay, I got this. Okay, well,

179
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: you and Jess we're just going to romantic getaway. No,

180

00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: A in Switzerland for five days. It's like the Ryder Cup.

00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: I'll be coming back to the United States in a week.

185
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: I'm Jack Jess is going with me. It's gonna be

186
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: a really good time. You're really following Chris Harrison's footsteps

187
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: when it comes to being like an almost pro golfer.

188
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: I uh, yeah, you know what. That's a great title

189
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: on my gravestone. Is almost true. That's awesome. Well, um,

190
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: I know that you'll be packing your protein one bars

191
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: in your pocket because those eighteen holes are probably gonna

192
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: last a long time. Oh, you better believe it. When

193
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: I get hungry on the course, there's only one way

194
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: to fill me up, Protein one, Protein one. All right. Well, then,

195
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: thank you for checking in with us, especially when you're

196
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: so so busy. I'll try to hold the fort down

197
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: here as best as I can. Ashley the best. Oh,

198
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to do this for me when I'm

199
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: on my honeymoon. You're gonna have a couple of weeks

200
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: where I am not going to look at my freaking phone.

201
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: You shouldn't actually get away. We'll talk all about alright

202
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: bye man. Alright, guys, we are back with Crystal and

203
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: we were talking about the people that were at your wedding.

204
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: Thank you for inviting us, Thanks for having us there.

205
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: I think, um, when people think Bachelor wedding. One of

206
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: the first questions that comes up is how many people

207
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: do you have to have there that you've never met?

208
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 1: Like you just said you met Adam for the first time,

209
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: and then how many people have you only met once

210
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: or twice? And then you kind of just have to

211
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: have them for ceremonial reasons, and there's an allocated space

212
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: of people you've never met at your wedding. So it's

213
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: so crazy. But you know, Chris, we knew that going

214
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: into it, and I think ultimately what it was was, um,

215
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: maybe it was a little sooner than when we thought

216
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: about getting married, but the fact that we were going

217
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: to be able to have our family and friends and

218
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: do it where we had our first day, and you know,

219
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: Bachelor has been really good to us. It's how we

220
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: met and have supported the development of our relationships. So

221
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: it was it was a leap of faith and we're honestly,

222
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: like Mary, life has been incredible. That's awesome. Do you

223
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: have any regrets about doing it in Paradise? I know

224
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,719
Speaker 1: we're all going to see it in Dice when it

225
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: starts airing in August. I'm sure you know the actual

226
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: date and can't release it yet, so I won't even ask,

227
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: but is there? I actually don't know the day, so

228
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: I'm just like surrendering to the entire process. I'm just

229
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: rolling with it. So was that a little bit of

230
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: a regret that you had to be so hand off

231
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 1: hands off and just like let them do their things.

232
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: So you know what's so funny is, like I said

233
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: years and years ago, I go, if I were to

234
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 1: ever get married, it would be in Mexico, and I

235
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: wouldn't want to plan anything except for the dress in

236
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 1: the cake. And it's so funny. What you what you ask,

237
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: you shall receive. And I was really cool with it

238
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: up until the last couple of weeks or the last

239
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: few weeks, because our family and friends didn't even have

240
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: their hotel until like their flight or hotel until like

241
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: ten days before, so everyone was and we were just

242
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: the middlemen. So that was the only stressful part. I

243
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: would say it was challenging to not be able to

244
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 1: give them like definitive answers um, But ultimately, I think

245
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: what I really learned about myself as well as Chris

246
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: throughout this process was just that life is on folding

247
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 1: around you, and sometimes when we have preferences about how

248
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: things should be. We really just create resistance and things

249
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: don't move smoothly. But when you let go and you

250
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: just surrender, it just unfolds as it's supposed to. And

251
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: I will say that I am a little inspired because

252
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 1: I just read The Surrender Experiment by Michael A. Singer

253
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: and it is the best book I have ever read,

254
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: next to Becoming Michelle Obama. So good. Okay, well, that

255
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: sounds like a really interesting theory. I think, like a

256
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: lot of things in my life have happened best when

257
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: you do just like let go and you're like, Okay,

258
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: if it's meant to be, it will be, and then

259
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: it comes. I think you just let go and just

260
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: have faith and you just focus on the feelings that

261
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: you want to feel. You don't focus on what if

262
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: this bad thing happens or what if I feel really

263
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,839
Speaker 1: stressed out. You're just like, I'm just gonna really, it's

264
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: gonna work out exactly as it's meant to be, and

265
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: nothing I can do for I have a couple of

266
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: thoughts from all this that we've talked about. Your makeup

267
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: and hair looked fantastic, So even though you have had

268
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: to wait and stress about that, look. The first time

269
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: I saw you walking down the I was like, well,

270
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: her hair and makeup on hills because they like flew

271
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: in some girls to do my makeup. And I will

272
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: say when those girls came in, one of them looked

273
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: just like Jesse James Dekker and the other looked just

274
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: like co Coo Kardashi And they were literally my squad

275
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: that just like brought me it maybe like enjoy it,

276
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: and they made it's fun and it made me feel

277
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: really really beautiful. So it's important for like the bride

278
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: to you know, feel good with the hair, in the

279
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: makeup and the dress. Just the only day it really

280
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: really really matters, like even in um comparison to just

281
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: like days that we're filming Bachelor shows. At the end

282
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: of the day, if you look crappy on one episode,

283
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: it's on the end of the world. Whatever. So I

284
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: haven't even seen photos from the wedding. Well I saw,

285
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: I saw the people and it was like two photos

286
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: and then they did like one of our wedding cake topper.

287
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: I was gonna say always, at the end of the day,

288
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: you got to pick your dress that was super important

289
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: to you, and then you got to pick your cake.

290
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: Because I think because of what you had on the

291
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: top of the kick, could only you guys upgraded? Okay,

292
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: So Chris and I went into this place called Dube

293
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: d O O B in San Diego and we went

294
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: in with Wayne and Chucky are Dogs and went into

295
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: this room with like nine cameras and all of them

296
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: simultaneously took a photo of us, creating a three D

297
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: like a very detail, the three D depiction of us

298
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: that it was like, honey, I shrugged the kids and

299
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: the guy and the dogs and that was It was

300
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: so cool. I stared at it for like a solid

301
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: ten minutes. So this is the coolest one and kick

302
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: of ever. So Wayenne and Chucky looked fantastic, but Chris

303
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: and I looked like that photo that's going around where

304
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: like ages you we look he had gray hair. You

305
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: didn't look exactly accurate, but I thought like he looked

306
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: like himself, and I thought he looked handsome on the

307
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: top of the kike. I know he was very offended

308
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: by the portraits, like I look like a white walker.

309
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: It's like it's ongoing joke. But it was fun. It

310
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: was us and it was just us being goofy and

311
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: I think we really wanted that to come through with

312
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: the wedding. Great, that's awesome. Um, a couple of days

313
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: after the wedding, I will actually know. On Instagram we

314
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: saw it was a couple of days after the wedding

315
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: that you got your actual certificate in America married couple.

316
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: JAREDI are super nervous, Jared, and I don't know how

317
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: to go about this. Can you please explain? So simple?

318
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: So simple? You guys, you guys should give me a

319
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: look like it was like, don't bring this up. We're

320
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: not actually married. That's why I started there. You are

321
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: actually paperwork. No. I was like, wait what No, that

322
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: was actually an old photo when we applied for the license,

323
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: So that was an old photo like Chris, you know,

324
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: brought in. But the process was really simple in San Diego.

325
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: We just made an appointment for the next day when

326
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: and applied and that was it. And then who do

327
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: get it signed by? Like did Chris Harrison sign? He did?

328
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: He signed it in Mexico, and then you brought it

329
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: back to the States and submitted it. Okay, so all

330
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: you need is to go and get the application, you

331
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: bring it, you sign it, have two witnesses like they're

332
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: just close friends sign it in some cases, and then

333
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: you have your actual efficiant Chris Harrison or whoever we

334
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 1: have officiating our wedding, go and submit it. Do they

335
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: have to submit it or can we submit it? Yeah?

336
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 1: You submit it. You mailed it. And there's a thing

337
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 1: like with out of the country weddings where you need

338
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 1: to get married first. I want to do that, Like, yeah,

339
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: you just go and get literally married first, and then

340
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: like you have like the ceremony in the celebration. Yeah,

341
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: so it's fun, it's super easy, and it was. It

342
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: was wild honestly because it's really you do it before

343
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: the ceremony. So it's like, who do we like at

344
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 1: the aisle you are married, And I want that too.

345
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: I don't want to like have the ceremony and then

346
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 1: have to deal with the paperwork like I want to

347
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: at the end of the day be like, no, we

348
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: are married at all capacities of the word. Yeah, you

349
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 1: know what I'm going to tell you, Like at that

350
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: when you go to bed that night, you were going

351
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: to sleep like a rock. You're like, we did it.

352
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: It's over, we made it, and we're still together. The

353
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: magazine spread, you said something like you stayed up super

354
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 1: late that night. I was like, I'm pretty sure we

355
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,479
Speaker 1: left at twelve and you went to bed. Did you

356
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: stay up? So we get back to our room and

357
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: there were people there was staff in our room coordinating

358
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: luggage for like our guests, like our bridal party, and

359
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: I was like, um, we're husband and wife like and

360
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: you're in the bridles, we can you like? And they

361
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: stay there for like forty five minutes, and that part

362
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: I was like getting I was pretty nice until I

363
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 1: was a little like, gotta go girl to go wedding

364
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: night over here before we wrap up with Crystal. I

365
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 1: think a lot of people are gonna be like, wait

366
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: a second, how did your family and friends not have

367
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: hotel rooms and flights ten days to the wedding. That's

368
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 1: how they do things on The Bachelor, a little insider knowledge.

369
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: Even people who go to Paradise like they don't get

370
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: their their flight into like five to seven days before

371
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: they leave. So are yeah, you you just honestly, you

372
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,439
Speaker 1: just have to know if anyone listening ever wants to

373
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: go on The Bachelor, um or the Bachelorette, just know

374
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 1: that you have to fully let go and just roll

375
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: with it and that was really interesting to see because

376
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: we're used to it being in that environment, but for

377
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: our family and friends for them to be like, what

378
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 1: do you mean we don't have hotel? What do you

379
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: mean you can't tell me where we where we're staying

380
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 1: or what my flight is because they couldn't like let

381
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: that information out too early because I didn't want press

382
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: to come and find it. Um, that was really an

383
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: interesting listen for them to like so funny, I know,

384
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: and you're like trying to reassure them, I think, like,

385
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: what's gonna It's like there's certain things that we're probably

386
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: doing because it's more like a more of a press

387
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 1: oriented type of wetting them and they would obviously ever

388
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: be used to and they're like, I think it's really

389
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: crazy that like we're getting our dresses like two or

390
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 1: three weeks before the ceremony, and I'm like, I know

391
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 1: that's just how it's gonna go. And that they had

392
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 1: that long. My people got it like the day before

393
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: they left, because I had bride's men. I had like

394
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 1: three guys and girls, and so I've got like the

395
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: day before they flew out, they got the talks. It's

396
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 1: like crazy, it's such a fun wild ride and you know,

397
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: like looking back, it's a it's an adventure and nothing

398
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 1: that's always signed up for. Alright, Chryst, Well, thank you

399
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,080

00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: little like exclusive titbits about the wedding. Really really appreciate it.

401
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: Thanks for being here in Tahoe with us, and thanks

402
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: for supporting our love for protein one as a health nut.

403
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 1: I feel like you're gonna take a couple of these

404
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: bots that peanut butter one right now. They're basically tastes

405
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 1: like chocolate bars, but they give you protein and they're

406
00:20:55,640 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: good for you and energy. Done all right? Now, up next,

407
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: we have Caitlin and and Antlie. Are they gonna go

408
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,239
Speaker 1: on together? Yeah, we're gonna have Kaylin and Antalist come

409
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 1: on together. But before we get them on, let's take

410
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: a quick break. All right, and we're back with Analis

411
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: and Kaylin, two members of the original cast of Paradise season?

412
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: Are we six? Six? Okay? Ever, I was gonna say seven.

413
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: I was going to have like a mind free uh

414
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 1: an confused? I think it's six. Yeah. Four was the

415
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 1: one that I got the whole controversy that was the

416
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 1: end season and then there was last season, which was

417
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: like the Colton Tia triangle. Now there's your season. Um, okay,

418
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 1: So before we go on, I know a lot of

419
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: people are going to be like, actually, you and Ben

420
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 1: were so critical of Klin before like last season, and

421
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,120
Speaker 1: I don't want to like address anything on the podcast.

422
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: I just wanna tell you guys like Kayla and I

423
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 1: have had a talk and we're friendly now, and I

424
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: was I was basically just if it was like, you know,

425
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: a lot of it is us having to watch as

426
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: fans and say, we'd have to say, for a fans

427
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: point of you, I have no I don't know her

428
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 1: in real life. I met her for the second time

429
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 1: ever a couple of weeks ago, and it has had

430
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: a little you know, a little off the mic chat

431
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 1: and I'm going to get to know Calin more this weekend.

432
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 1: It's excited about and everybody is saying like the greatest

433
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 1: things about her, especially in the past month or so.

434
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: So I was thinking about that, and it makes sense

435
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: like you're looking at it from a fan's perspective and

436
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: you you don't know us, So it's like I wasn't

437
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: perceived the best way on my season, and I wasn't

438
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: my best self, so like it makes perfect sense. Well,

439
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 1: thank you. Yeah, I know it's really hard. There's a

440
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: lot of people. It's like just from like writing my

441
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 1: recaps and being on this podcast. It's like if we don't,

442
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 1: if we're totally uncritical, then we're gonna get like then

443
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 1: we're gonna be the most born people ever to talk about.

444
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: And then people are gonna be like, this is not

445
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: relatable because we're watching the show and we're criticizing at home.

446
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: But it's kind of cool too because you're getting you

447
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: you're like a voice to people who are also seeing

448
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: maybe Kylin and going like, oh, we don't like her,

449
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 1: and then you are going to get to know her

450
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 1: and you know, have your opinions changed too, So it's

451
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: kind of it's interesting, like that's why I was with Crystal,

452
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, I think everybody looks at Crystal um

453
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 1: and then I'm PARTI became great friends, so it's like

454
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: it's it's it's just also it's like showing that you

455
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: should get to know people and not and you know,

456
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 1: we all we're all going to judge each other on

457
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: the show watching it, but then once you get to

458
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: know people, you get to know the full full side

459
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: of them. Yeah, I want more to us. I can't

460
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,679
Speaker 1: go into full detail, but my opinion has already changed

461
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: so much from the one that the show developed for me. Um,

462
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: but I mean I've a little talk about that some

463
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 1: other times. Once Bachelor in Parasite Paradise starts airing. But

464
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: let's talk about well, let's talk a little bit about Paradise,

465
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 1: but not get into explicit details. Explicit is that it's

466
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 1: explicit because it's that a word like a sex word,

467
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 1: or is that it can keeping out of your sex

468
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: I heard you say that, no idea how much sex

469
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: is podcast. I'm so tired of the word. It's always

470
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 1: felt uncomfortable me to say, you know. But anyway, so

471
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: let's not talk about it. Um, let's go one by

472
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: one as to why Kylen's start with you, Why did

473
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: you choose to do Paradise, especially after having a rougher

474
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: edit on the right. I think that had a lot

475
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: to do with it, Like, I'm so one of the reasons.

476
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 1: I'm the only single person in my friend group, So

477
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: I was like, if I go in Paradise, there's hopefully

478
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 1: I'll walk away with someone. But then I was also like,

479
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,199
Speaker 1: I wasn't myself on my season. I was I don't know,

480
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: I just I had a good time. But the way

481
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 1: I won't even blame it on editing, the way I

482
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: was like wasn't myself. So I was like, if I

483
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:44,479
Speaker 1: go to Paradise and I'm just completely myself, people can

484
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: hate me, but hate me for actually knowing me, and

485
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: I would feel a lot better about that. Okay, well

486
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 1: that's great. I think that. So. I think Paradise is

487
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 1: usually the perfect way for people to, like for the

488
00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: audience to get to know the real person, because it's

489
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 1: less of a chopped down version. On The Bachelor, they

490
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 1: have to show the personalities of twenty girls. On Paradise,

491
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: you're showing a lot, You're you're showing quite a bit

492
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 1: of storylines, but you're focusing a lot more on people's

493
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: true personalities. I was completely people. People were critical of

494
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: me on every season of mine, but I think they

495
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 1: started to like understand me and relate to me and

496
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: like have more of like a sympathetic bone for me

497
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: starting in Paradise. And I think that's definitely gonna happen

498
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: with you. What do you Why do you come back

499
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,439
Speaker 1: after literally having the worst experience last year. Yeah, I

500
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 1: mean it wasn't It wasn't like a real quick decision,

501
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: you know. I had to think about it um a bit,

502
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,360
Speaker 1: and I sort of it came down to I was single,

503
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 1: and I it's sort of worked for me last year,

504
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: and so I was like, well, if it could, you know,

505
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 1: I see Chris and Crystal, I see all these other

506
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: relationships that are successful. I'm like, I kind of I

507
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: got close, you know, like it just wasn't the right person,

508
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: So why couldn't it work this time? So that's that's

509
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: sort of where in my head was that. Have you

510
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: heard from what's his name? And I'm going to call

511
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,919
Speaker 1: him what's name? His name? Because I truly forget his name. Uh.

512
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:19,479
Speaker 1: We have not in a long time now, what's uh

513
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 1: the last time we had any sort of exchange I

514
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:26,239
Speaker 1: think was back in December something or younger. Yeah, it's

515
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: been a while without giving anything away. Are you happy

516
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: you did again? Uh? Yeah? I think so? Yeah. Okay,

517
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 1: I'm I'm really happy. Okay. Great in life, it's amazing. Yeah,

518
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: so good. Um, let's talk about like where your lives

519
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 1: are outside of the Bachelor franchise, Caitlin, you are living

520
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 1: in the same complex as Cassie in l A. How's

521
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: that been, Like your your roommates but not roommates, which

522
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: is literally the perfect thing you could do. Like, my

523
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: sister just moved out of our house and that was

524
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 1: a big step for us. She was living where like

525
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: living threes company style for an entire year, and you know,

526
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: like Jared loves to say that he was like absolutely

527
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: fine with it, but he was definitely ready for her

528
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 1: to like feel more like a couples living situation. But

529
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: she moved a mile down the street, which is perfect

530
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 1: for me. And that's kind of how it is with Cassie. Yeah,

531
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 1: So like I don't have to deal with the awkwardness

532
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 1: of like maybe like Colton being there all the time,

533
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: but like I get to choose when I go downstairs

534
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: as she comes upstairs. Like it's good, it's fun. I

535
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,360
Speaker 1: I enjoy it. Colton kind of steals her away a lot,

536
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: so I don't really get to see her that often. Um,

537
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:37,679
Speaker 1: but it's fun. That's awesome. Um. Okay, So how has

538
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 1: it been being that third wheel over the past couple

539
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: of months before Paradise? Um? Before Paradise it so I

540
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 1: was pretty like chill about it, and Colton it took

541
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 1: him a longer time to warm up to the idea

542
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: that was going to say. He must have felt like, Okay,

543
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: I like kiss this girl a lot. Yeah, and I'm

544
00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: kissing my my girl, my very serious girlfriend in front

545
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 1: of right. He had that conversation. He's like, well, I've

546
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 1: made out with her, and I'm like yeah, but like

547
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: we're just friends. Like as soon as I went off

548
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 1: the show and I found out I was, Cassie like

549
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 1: flipped a switch and I was like, I'm not attracted

550
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: to you, and like you're just a friend to me.

551
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: So it took him some time, Like and also he

552
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: wants to be respectful of Cassie and their relationships. So

553
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: I get it. But now it's like smooth sailing friends.

554
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 1: It's great. Okay, So there was a little awkward bumping there. Yeah.

555
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: I always said, I was like, there's no awkwardness, but

556
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, no, no, there was some awkwardness for

557
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 1: a couple of months. There's definitely awkwardness when you interact

558
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: with your bachelor for the first couple of times after

559
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: being off the show. I think it's something you never

560
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: think you're gonna have to, like see him again, You're like, oh,

561
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 1: they're in a different category, Like they don't they're not

562
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: going to mingle with us like cast members anymore. And

563
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: then the first couple of times, you're like, Hi, it's

564
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: like really good to see you. Like, I don't even

565
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: know if I really know you, ever talked to you.

566
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: Was on camera for like seven minutes, like seven minutes

567
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 1: every couple of days. Yeah, it's really funny. But yeah,

568
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: I mean if you're best friends with his girlfriend, then

569
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: you're going to have to make that hurdle. Yeah, you

570
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: have to make it work. How is it seeing Ari

571
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: the first couple of times off camera, I haven't really

572
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: seen him very much. Yeah, so I don't I don't know.

573
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: I think it would be totally fine, Like because we

574
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: never even kissed. I feel like, like you said, I

575
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: don't know him, so it would be I think it'd

576
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: be fine that you guys haven't even kissed. Yeah, he

577
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: was just like some guy that he was like always

578
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: hanging around with, like on our Girls trip. Alright, who

579
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: who are you both looking forward to seeing in Paradise?

580
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: Who are you hoping to be in Paradise? Who's on

581
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 1: that list for you? Guys? Name like three. So I

582
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 1: actually didn't have a list going in this time. Well

583
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:44,959
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why, because last year I went in,

584
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: I wanted Camille to be there and I was excited

585
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: about seeing him, and so this year I was like,

586
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not even gonna I want to meet people,

587
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: just fresh, like not have any judgments about people, not

588
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: have um, not be holding out for somebody to walked

589
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: down the stairs, like I'm gonna go in, who's there,

590
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give chances to and like very mature. I

591
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: just I went into it so differently this year. My

592
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: headspace was completely different. So I just didn't really have

593
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: There was people that I was like, oh, yeah, they

594
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: could be interesting, but there was nobody that I went

595
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: in with intent intent. Yeah. I was the opposite. That's

596
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: I've always been. I'm like that one or that one

597
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: or no one. No, seriously, That's how I was. I

598
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: was like Connor s or no one and um. But

599
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 1: also I was like I was so intent on dating Connor,

600
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: but I was like, I'm such a personality person I

601
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: don't know this guy's personality. He didn't get a ton

602
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: of air time on hand of season, so I'm like,

603
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 1: we could mess really well, or we couldn't. So I

604
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: didn't want to put all my weight in there, and

605
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: maybe I did, maybe I didn't, but I don't think

606
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: that was the best approach. Okay, So normally, I know

607
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: we've mentioned this on the podcast before, but I want

608
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: to remind you listeners out there that with Paradise, normally

609
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: the cast only gets to see a couple episodes of

610
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: the current Bachelorette season before going in. For mine, I

611
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: was able to see two episodes. I think for you guys,

612
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: you may have been able to see three three episodes,

613
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: so you got to see Connors one on one, and

614
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: he must have he must have left an impression with

615
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 1: you there. Yeah. I thought he was really cute and

616
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: sweet and thoughtful, and I was like, I really think

617
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: I could get along with this guy. And then Colton

618
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: put in my ear too. He was like, I think

619
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 1: you and Connor would mesh really well together, and multiple

620
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 1: people kept saying it, so I was like, all right,

621
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: it's Connor, no one. That's kind of how I went

622
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: into it. Okay. In the original cast, who surprised Who

623
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: was a surprise for you guys to see there? Who

624
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: did you not expect to see there? Who was there?

625
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: Chris Pakowski freaking fatastic answer. I think he Uh, that

626
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: was surprising to everyone considering he retired from the Bachelor

627
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: franchise about three or four years ago. Yeah. I was

628
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: surprised to see Wills there. Yeah. I was too, Yeah,

629
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 1: because I was on Paradise with him last summer and

630
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 1: I was surprised he was back. And then I'm also

631
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: really good friends with him, so I was like, what

632
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 1: you're here? Yeah, that was so it was interesting because

633
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 1: I think he kind of went a little m i

634
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: A from the Bachelor franchise over the past. That's the thing.

635
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: I thought he was kind of done with it, Like

636
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: I didn't think even if they asked him, I thought

637
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: he wasn't really going back. But there he was. There

638
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: was one time we tried to get him on the podcast.

639
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 1: I think it was so I think it's like the

640
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: fall time, and he went totally m I A. He

641
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: was actually not just from our text, but he wasn't

642
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: posting anything on social media and people were genuinely getting concerned,

643
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 1: Like there was like message boards like where Wills go? Okay, Yeah,

644
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 1: there was. I mean there was a couple of surprises.

645
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: There's like obviously the people that came from the most

646
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: current season. You you expect to see some of those

647
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: like fan favorite people, but then there was definitely people there.

648
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: The older people from previous seasons were almost all a surprise,

649
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,479
Speaker 1: Like Derek was a surprise. I can't even remember Derek

650
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: who said on this very podcast about five or six

651
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 1: weeks before leaving for Paradise that he is not at

652
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 1: all gonna do it when certain and we have it

653
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: on tape. That's great. I'm glad that we have the

654
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: scoop on that. I think what's weird for our season, though,

655
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: is that we only had like what four or five

656
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: from Hannah season for original cast, Like it was mostly

657
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 1: older cast members. That is true, I feel like there

658
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: was a lot of people missing from Hannah's season. Yeah,

659
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: it was a random group of Hannah's guys. When I

660
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: went back and I was watching Hannah season, I was like,

661
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: did he end up going? Did he? And I actually

662
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: am like pretty pretty spoiler free, And there's some guys

663
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: I'm still not sure if they ever showed up or not.

664
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:40,719
Speaker 1: Maybe they made like little blips, little appearances of the

665
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: original cast because we can't reveal any other names. Who

666
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: did you form like the closest friendships with Kalen like

667
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: girls or guys. Girls and guys, um, I think girls

668
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: as a whole. We were all really close, Like it was.

669
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: It was just such a great group of girls in

670
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: terms of original cast, Like we just had so much

671
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: fun together. And guys it was kind of the same,

672
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: I think. I yeah, I was close with pretty much

673
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,239
Speaker 1: all of the guys too. It was it was just

674
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: such a unique group, Like I was so pleased with it.

675
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,359
Speaker 1: So I remember talking to some of the girls from

676
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 1: the Paradise cast and they were like, Kaylin has been

677
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: like just totally involved with everybody in front of everybody,

678
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 1: which was such a different contrast to when you're on

679
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: Colton season. Just like you and Cassie like kind of

680
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: buddied up, did you did you like the experience of

681
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 1: kind of like yeah, I think Cassie and I we

682
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: didn't mean to be clickie, but we were just so

683
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: close that we kind of closed ourselves off from everyone else.

684
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: And this time I just friends with everyone. It was

685
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: like it was so much fun. I did the exact

686
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: same thing my first season of Paradise. For the first

687
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: four days, my sister was there, and people were like

688
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 1: actually seems like really nice and cool, but we don't

689
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 1: really know her because she and her sister are totally

690
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 1: inseparable and she's like always having to console her and

691
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,800
Speaker 1: they're always like having like sister language talks. That's exactly

692
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 1: how we were. Yes, I understand. Yeah, not the best,

693
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 1: but it's okay. I mean, and sometimes you have to

694
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 1: force yourself out of a situation, like when my sister

695
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 1: left and I was like, okay, yeah, I'm like I

696
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,760
Speaker 1: can be sociable now. It's totally different. It's a comfort

697
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 1: zone thing. Um and Atlas, who is there anybody from

698
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:14,839
Speaker 1: this season that you've really clicked with? Uh? I would

699
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 1: say probably Klin and Katie were, um two of the

700
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 1: girls that I didn't know, well, I didn't know you

701
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 1: at all before. Um uh yeah. I just everyone was

702
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: so nice, like the original cast, those first couple of

703
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: days felt very, very smooth, until until they didn't. Yeah.

704
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 1: When that, guys, just prepare yourself. Which where is she?

705
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 1: She's here too? Yeah? She? I was like, I don't

706
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 1: think you know what you're getting into. I was like,

707
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: the Bachelor is like sorority fun time, and Bachelor in

708
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 1: Paradise is like the is an emotional war zone, but

709
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: you're also in it just all the time. Like you

710
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 1: never get a break ever in Paradise because you know,

711
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:07,839
Speaker 1: you get to like not be on dates. You get

712
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 1: to lie outside and tan and cooked meals and like

713
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 1: all that stuff, like go take naps and in Paradise, yeah,

714
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: the camera is like on a nap, there's a camera.

715
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:24,919
Speaker 1: Probably it's going to get there. It's crazy. John Paul

716
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: Jones is part of the original cast, and I know

717
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: that he's a favorite amongst like everyone. Can we explain

718
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: his personality beyond what we may have seen the little

719
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 1: bits that we saw in Hannah season. He is one

720
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 1: of my favorite people in this world. So Dylan is

721
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 1: probably my closest guy friend. But John Paul Jones is

722
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 1: just like he his edit did not do him justice.

723
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: He is so funny, but he's so smart. Everybody keeps

724
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 1: talking about he is so smart. I was like blown away.

725
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 1: I was like, who are you? I did not know.

726
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,839
Speaker 1: But he's just He's also very rebellious and he kind

727
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 1: of inspired me to be rebellious. Um, he's just I

728
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: don't know. I love and it's like fully him all

729
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: the time, like none of it's an act. I think

730
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 1: that's where I sometimes in the Bachelor world, like you

731
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: meet people and you're like, oh, they just know how

732
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 1: to turn it on, you know, and um, it's not.

733
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 1: It's just him the whole time. That's his personality. He

734
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: just reminds me of like a nineties like the double

735
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: popped collar. He's like, he feels like such like a

736
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: surfer brother. Yeah, he's like a surfer bro, but then

737
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 1: has that preppy side where it's like, I'm so confused

738
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,359
Speaker 1: the fact that he sounds like he just got off

739
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 1: the surf, but he grew up in Minnesota, in Maryland,

740
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,839
Speaker 1: he's the same way. He's got that surfer bro. Yeah,

741
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 1: where is he from? I think it's like the same

742
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: sort of Connor from Texas, Michigan, Michigan. Okay, yeah, it

743
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:48,720
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. No, all right? Is there any teasers

744
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: you can give us for the Paradise season why people

745
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: should watch? Not that they ever need a reason, because

746
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty much everybody, every Bachelor Nation hardcore

747
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 1: fan their favorite part of the year's Paradise. Now, everybody

748
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 1: watches the other shows so they can get fair, right,

749
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 1: But what is like one little teaser that each of

750
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 1: you can give us before we let you go. So

751
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 1: I I know this is like a Chris Harrison saying,

752
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 1: but it definitely will be. I think it's going to

753
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:18,800
Speaker 1: be the most crazy and epic season. Just so much happens.

754
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 1: Like I thought a lot happened last year, so much

755
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 1: more happens this year because last season was fanned. It's

756
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: gonna be nutty, Like I don't even know how they're

757
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 1: going to put it into. However many episodes they have,

758
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,240
Speaker 1: like they need to order more episodes because there's so

759
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: much stuff that happens. I don't think anybody except for

760
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:45,439
Speaker 1: Dancing with the Stars would refuse that. Um yeah, it's

761
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: it's drama filled. There's lots of tears, very minimal laughter.

762
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: Except for the first three days, everybody it really was

763
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 1: like the day after like that those first couple of

764
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 1: people that like crawl down the stairs, and then like

765
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 1: somebody takes a date from somebody. That's when it always starts,

766
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: because the first two days it's like the original casts,

767
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: like everyone's friends and everyone's like sort of flirting but

768
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:16,320
Speaker 1: like feeling it out still, and then all of a sudden,

769
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:21,280
Speaker 1: it's like war zone. I haven't heard anything about Demi yet.

770
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: From you guys. I feel like everybody's expecting Demi to

771
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 1: bring the drama. Is there anything I think you can

772
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: tease their? Demi brings good comic relief when it's needed.

773
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: She is so witty and so smart. My gosh, you

774
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 1: know she's so quick. I'm like, can you have your

775
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 1: brain for like even ten minutes? I would love to

776
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 1: know what it would be like to think like that.

777
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 1: Watching her at Women Tell All, I was like, this

778
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 1: is so unfortunate that I can't think like that, And

779
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 1: I could never respond in an argument like no, I

780
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: know she's like a person I would never want to

781
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: get an argument. I feel like she would just have

782
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: too many things to say. So I read this that

783
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 1: made me feel like a lot better about that. They

784
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 1: say that your intelligence isn't based on whether or not

785
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 1: you can come up with things quickly, but if you

786
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 1: can come up with them, like in general. So like,

787
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 1: if you're somebody who can quickly banter back in an argument,

788
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 1: that doesn't necessarily mean that you're smarter than somebody who

789
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: can write a thesis about it, like after thinking and

790
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 1: formulating those feelings. So I was like, okay, great, because

791
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 1: I can write, but I can't does I will say

792
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 1: too about Demi, Um, if I can tease this, you know,

793
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: we've only seen one side of Demi, and it's like

794
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:34,799
Speaker 1: her quick wit side and her funny side and her

795
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 1: feisty side. And I think we're gonna see a whole

796
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: another side of Demi. And I grew to love and

797
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 1: appreciate Demi so much more on this season too. And

798
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 1: I would be um shamed as a host if I

799
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 1: didn't bring up the reports of who you may be

800
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 1: dating Kalin, because some entertainment outlets did report that. So

801
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 1: I'll let you be as veigue as possible if you'd like,

802
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 1: or as detailed does possible, But I need you to
