But the first episode, 177 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: which is our first headline of the week, Chris has 178 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: spent this whole first episode talking about um just you know, 179 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: the fact that he's pretty much been like in hiding 180 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:54,559 Speaker 1: for two years since the infamous extra interview with Rachel Lindsay. 181 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: Now we hear from Chris. You're there for the first moment. 182 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: Was it via zoom or was it in person? It 183 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 1: was in person. We went to an undisclosed location in 184 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: the Northern California area. Really we we did it out 185 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,239 Speaker 1: of town. We went to neutral ground, um and uh 186 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,599 Speaker 1: we recorded it in a home. I brought my mobile equipment. 187 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: And that was my first time meeting Chris. I have 188 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: been in the same room with him a number of times, 189 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: I've never actually met him before. Um, so that was 190 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: pretty exciting. And um, I mean, I'm not I'm not 191 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: I'm not a Bachelor fan. I don't really watch the show. 192 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 1: I just work on his podcast. But let me tell you, 193 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: like hearing his voice and like setting the microphone up 194 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: on him gave me chills. It was really that was 195 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: really exciting. Um. And and like, you know, he's such 196 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: a pro like he does like the five four three. 197 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,079 Speaker 1: He doesn't say two or one because he's a prou 198 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 1: oh crap. That makes me so not a pro. I 199 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: go one to three. Uh. But but um, you know, 200 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: I was really interested in what he had to say 201 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:09,479 Speaker 1: because this has just been such a an emotionally significant 202 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: part of you know, watching The Bachelor, of what happened 203 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,719 Speaker 1: with him. And uh, I was really curious, what you know, 204 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 1: because I haven't heard from him. I haven't heard his 205 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: perspective on anything. Um, So I was really interested in 206 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 1: what he had to say. And I thought that he 207 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: handled those first two episodes really well. I think he um, 208 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 1: you know, he took responsibility. He explained what happened, and 209 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: he explained how he's been dealing with it over the 210 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 1: last few months, uh year, years. I don't know. Time 211 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: moves differently now, um. And And I think it's gonna 212 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: be a really interesting show. And I'm just really excited 213 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 1: for people to hear him in this way, you know, 214 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 1: like now he has it's not just him like greeting 215 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 1: people as they pull up in a limousine. This is 216 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: like an hour plus of him just talking and something 217 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,079 Speaker 1: we haven't really gotten from him before. And I I 218 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: think people are really gonna like it if if they listen, Actually, 219 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: if you listen to the episodes. I haven't listened yet. 220 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: Did come out yesterday? I've got to listen to it, 221 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,319 Speaker 1: did you I have? I've listened to both. So I 222 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: want to talk with Eastern little bit because he obviously 223 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: got to hear both of these, you know, Uh, it's 224 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: been no secret. Uh. And he actually Ashley is kind 225 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: enough Chris Is to call us out in his episode, 226 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: his second episode and say thank you to have been 227 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: an Ashley um for having my back for supporting me, um, 228 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 1: for caring about me through this. It's very nice. And 229 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: he does it with a lot of people, UM, and 230 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 1: kind of runs through a list. But you know, it's 231 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: been no secret and I will never hide that. I 232 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 1: I consider Chris Harrison, um, not only somebody that has 233 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: walked me through some very weird times I'm gonna say difficult, 234 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: just weird, life changing times. Um. And he's walked alongside 235 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: me very closely when he doesn't necessarily need to. He 236 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: doesn't get paid for it's not a part of his job. 237 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 1: He's a good friend. He's also a golfing buddy. Like 238 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: next week, as I mentioned last week, we're gonna be 239 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: golfing at the hilt Uh Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions 240 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,199 Speaker 1: in Orlando, Florida, together alongside Walls Adams. The three of 241 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: us are playing in a group. I'm assuming on Monday 242 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: or on Thursday of next week you can tune in 243 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: to watch it on the Golf Channel in NBC. Okay, Well, Um, 244 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: so he's a he's a friend of mine. He's a 245 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 1: he's a mentor in a lot of ways. He's given 246 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: me some life advice that I share often to this day. Um. 247 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: He shared life advice with me one day. Um, We're 248 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 1: at a bar and I said, Chris, I don't know 249 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: how to do this thing, like, I don't know what's 250 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: next for me. This is after I got let go 251 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 1: on Caitlin season and he called me down for a 252 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: drink that night and he said, let's just hang out. Uh. 253 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: And he said, hey, I think you you could be 254 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 1: the next Bachelor. And I said that's wild, that's weird. Uh. 255 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: And he goes, but how are you going to handle it? Like, 256 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: I don't know, man, this has all been so much 257 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 1: so quickly. And he goes, here's the advice that I 258 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: want you to take with you. He goes, use this. 259 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 1: And you've heard me say before he said, use this 260 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: to enhance the life you already had, not change your 261 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 1: life pletely. And I've taken that with me almost every 262 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: day of my life and every decision I make in 263 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: any opportunity I accept or don't accept. It's who was 264 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: I before? And is this enhancing who I was before, 265 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: uh and adding some spice to life? Or is it 266 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 1: changing who I was completely and making me run after 267 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 1: things that I've never thought I wanted to run after. 268 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: No dreams that I ever wanted to pursue. And does 269 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: it hurt relationships that I had before the show, because 270 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: I've changed, um, and changed not in a good way. 271 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: And so I I love Chris Harrison uh and I 272 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: will always stand behind him as a friend because that's 273 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: what friends do. I saw Sean Lo say that yesterday, 274 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: and I agree, friends stand by friends. Okay, so here's 275 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: my point. Here's the question I have for reason. You 276 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: know Eastern as a host of The Bachelor, we don't 277 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: get to see Chris Harrison. We see a very polished, 278 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: a very professional um, you know, necktie sue Um delivering lines, 279 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 1: like you said, greeting people. There's a lot of depth 280 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: to Chris UM. And I do think uh, and I 281 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: do know UM that the events that happened, what you know, 282 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: a year ago, two years ago, whenever that was um, 283 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: he is very sorry for for and you can hear 284 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: his own words explain that through this podcast in these 285 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 1: two episodes. I know it. It did affect him deeply 286 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: and he cares deeply about that. But there's a lot 287 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: of wisdom also to Chris uh and just what he's 288 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: seen in his life. Can you give us a little 289 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 1: teaser about maybe seeing a less polished version of Chris Harrison. 290 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 1: I mean, he's cussing on this podcast, right, there's bleeps 291 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: that we never saw during The Bachelor. I love it 292 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: when Chris. I love it when it Chris curses because 293 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: it seems out of character just based on what you 294 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: see on the show. But it's not out of character. Yeah, 295 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: so tease us on what you think we're gonna expect. 296 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously you've only um seen these first two 297 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: episodes that are going to be very different than the 298 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: show itself. The shows about relationships. The show is about 299 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: digging in and helping people walk through relationships. The first 300 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: two episodes are really kind of his story over the 301 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: last few years alongside his fiance Lawrence. What What What 302 00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 1: can we get excited about moving forward? I think that, 303 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,479 Speaker 1: like you said, when you see Chris Harrison on television, 304 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: he's the host, he is This is a polished you 305 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: know everything, most of everything he's saying is rehearsed. Uh, 306 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: it is a very like segmented thing he's doing. This 307 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: is a very vulnerable side of Chris Harrison, and you 308 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: can hear that. You can hear that in his voice 309 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: when he relives some of those moments in the last year. 310 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: UM and I think as we move forward, and you know, 311 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 1: he has to talk about this event first, but as 312 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: we move forward and we hear his take on relationships, 313 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: what it means, uh, what it means to love and 314 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: to find a partner, I think people are going to 315 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 1: really enjoy and learn a lot from from what he 316 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: has to share. And again, the vulnerability that he's going 317 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: to put out there. He's doing this in his house, 318 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: just like by himself or with Lauren, you know. Um 319 00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: and uh, I think bearing of the soul is what 320 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: I what I felt in those moments in that first 321 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,199 Speaker 1: couple episodes, and uh, I think that's what people are 322 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 1: gonna really take away from this show. Is Lauren going 323 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 1: to be his permanent co host? I'm not sure. I 324 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 1: don't think so. Um, definitive. No, I'm good. I'm hearing 325 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 1: in my headset I getting to know. Um, you know, 326 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 1: she she won't be, but but she's in the second 327 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: episode and and she's great. Let me tell you, it's 328 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 1: it's great doing a podcast with two trained broadcasters that 329 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 1: that was a delightful experience for me. Did you have 330 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: to edit? Not that much? I don't have to add 331 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,119 Speaker 1: that much. And also we sent Crystal this equipment, and 332 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: I was like, I set aside like an afternoon to 333 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: like video chat with him and get set up. And 334 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: I get him on the phone. He's like, hey, so 335 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: plugged in, you ready to go? And I'm like, yes, 336 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: this man, he gets it. I like these people. You know. UM, 337 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: a few thoughts why we still have Easton here on 338 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 1: the first two episodes, because this is obviously a big 339 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 1: topic within Bachelor Nation. UM is the most dramatic podcast 340 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,640 Speaker 1: of all time. It has now peaked in the top 341 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: ten of all podcasts after two episodes. That's a big deal. 342 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,400 Speaker 1: It's not easy to do UM. Obviously, people were excited 343 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,199 Speaker 1: to hear from Chris again, or or as Chris said it, 344 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 1: I think curious to hear from him again. Maybe they 345 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,479 Speaker 1: maybe they don't exactly you know, they're they're not, you know, 346 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: moving on, and and they still hold some resentment towards Chris, 347 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 1: but they're curious to hear what he has to say. 348 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,160 Speaker 1: And I think a lot of people also are excited 349 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 1: about hearing Chris's voice again and hearing his heart. UM. 350 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,159 Speaker 1: You know, there is there's a lot of motion in 351 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 1: this podcast. Uh, there are a lot of crackly voices, 352 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 1: there are some tears. I was reading through the comments. 353 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 1: A lot of support, I mean a ton of support, uh, 354 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: support for the show and excited to hear where the 355 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 1: show goes. But there was these questions of you know, 356 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 1: is it fake like they are professionals? Are these tears 357 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,719 Speaker 1: just for the audience? Are they made up for the 358 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: time Eastern? Can you speak to that a little bit. 359 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: Did you feel like the emotion that was being displayed 360 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: and communicated in the podcast was real emotion? Absolutely? Uh, 361 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:13,439 Speaker 1: to the point where, like, you know, we did have 362 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 1: to take a breather, you know, um in this episode 363 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,880 Speaker 1: because it was getting so intense, very very real. And um. 364 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:26,919 Speaker 1: You know, Chris like doesn't like, you know, he's not 365 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,159 Speaker 1: like trying to like I don't think he wants to 366 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: become like the host again or anything, you know, Like 367 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: he just wants to tell his story. He doesn't have 368 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:38,239 Speaker 1: to do this. Um. So like, yeah, I don't know, 369 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,120 Speaker 1: I've seen rehearse tears. Those are real, my friends, Those 370 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: are those are real. Um. That was real emotion in 371 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: in those episodes. Uh and um, and I think we're 372 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 1: going to get more of that as we continue on 373 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:53,919 Speaker 1: with this show. Yeah, I didn't feel like in the 374 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,479 Speaker 1: episode he was trying to persuade me as the listener 375 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: in any direction more than just tell his side of 376 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,959 Speaker 1: the story. Worry, Uh not anything, you know, I don't think. 377 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 1: I think it's really a fine line there to play 378 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 1: the victim and not play the victim, um to be 379 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 1: the victor or the victim in this I didn't feel 380 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,400 Speaker 1: like he played the victim. And obviously I'm biased here. 381 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 1: I want to make it clear again, I'm very biased 382 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 1: because I get to see Chris and hang out with him. 383 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,439 Speaker 1: I felt like he wanted to share his side of 384 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 1: the story that hey, he was sorry, but also people 385 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 1: were speaking for him, Media was speaking for him. Stories 386 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: are being created around him that he had no part in. 387 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: And it kind of blew this thing up to a 388 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 1: very uncontrollable situation that nobody could kind of navigate and manage. 389 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: And and now we get to hear Chris um for hopefully, 390 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,360 Speaker 1: you know, for hopefully most Chris, they remember that Chris 391 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,679 Speaker 1: they grew up listening to and watching on television. I 392 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 1: also want to close and saying a little kudos to 393 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: Amy Sugarman. Uh. He did give a shout out to 394 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 1: Amy and said, hey, my friend and I who was 395 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,399 Speaker 1: in this room with me right now, talked and and 396 00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: and she told me it was time. It was time 397 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 1: for me to start speaking, start to tell my story. 398 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: And Chris trusted her in that. That's you know, Chris 399 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 1: is one of the most famous, recognizable people in the 400 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,919 Speaker 1: United States of America. UH. And this has obviously been 401 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,679 Speaker 1: a long time of him staying quiet, of him staying silent, 402 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: of him kind of getting life back in order and 403 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 1: has he said, life has been really good for him. 404 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 1: But then he trusted our producer and our creator of 405 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: this podcast, Amy as we talk about UH two, for 406 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 1: this next chapter in his life. And I think that's 407 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: a big compliment to Amy and who she is and 408 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: how much trust people have in her UH and and 409 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: also what she can create. And so I want to 410 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,919 Speaker 1: give that little shit out to her because she's obviously 411 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 1: behind this UM and building her own little podcast dynasty 412 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 1: UM alongside almost famous, so great, UH, very intriguing first 413 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 1: two episodes. I did listen UH and UM and there's 414 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 1: a lot of stuff in there I learned even after 415 00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 1: hearing the story, you know, from Chris myself well, actually, 416 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,719 Speaker 1: I want to flip headlines this week because you know, 417 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 1: Eastern you were there for the headline creating, and Ben 418 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 1: you have listened to the podcast, so I want you 419 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: guys to discuss these so it's not just me quoting. 420 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 1: The first headline is Chris Harrison wanted Wells Adams to 421 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:23,160 Speaker 1: replace him as Bachelor host. There's a lot about Nick 422 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,919 Speaker 1: in here too. That made headlines is the fact that 423 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: he thought that Nick Vile was the one that was 424 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 1: trying to get the spot the most out of anyone. 425 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: But please explain how this conversation went on the podcast, 426 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,120 Speaker 1: and you probably know firsthand from Wells as well. Yeah, 427 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 1: Wells as well. Well. I mean, I think for most 428 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 1: Bachelor fans, uh, they expected somebody, may you know, especially 429 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,400 Speaker 1: after the Caitlin and Tatious seasons that people were I 430 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: felt like, still um enjoying. They're starting to get used 431 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 1: to maybe not the host but the mentor roles that 432 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 1: Caitlin and take show where we're um doing during the 433 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 1: Bachelor at seasons. Uh, And then when the hosting job 434 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 1: came up, I think a lot of people thought, well, 435 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 1: Wells is a very clear choice. He's a professional host. 436 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: What people don't maybe know about Wells's past life. Is 437 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 1: he as a career was a host in Nashville on radio. Uh, 438 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 1: he has done TV. Uh he is doing TV today 439 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 1: and and doing it very successfully. May I say, but 440 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: I think Bachelor Nation loves Wells. They do. Um, he 441 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 1: is funny. He is also uh a lot more. Um. 442 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,159 Speaker 1: I don't want to say, he's just not as like, uh, 443 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: you know, polished. We keep saying polished seems like the 444 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 1: right word. As as maybe a past host, he would 445 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 1: bring a different flare. Um. He has crude jokes. Uh, 446 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 1: He's very witty. He has jokes that don't land, and 447 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 1: he has jokes that land really well. Uh and we 448 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 1: would see that kind of goofy, quirky side uh during 449 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: the show. And so I think people are like, hey, 450 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: this makes sense. I would want to watch Wells on television. 451 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 1: It's a good replacement. And I think Jesse has done 452 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 1: a great job replacing Chris. I do I have nothing 453 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,880 Speaker 1: uh negative to say about Jesse. It was just kind 454 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,360 Speaker 1: of out of nowhere for a lot of people. It 455 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: was unexpected. It was not who they thought, and so 456 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: Chris did say, hey, uh there are people He kind 457 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 1: of went through the timeline and people can listen to 458 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,719 Speaker 1: the episode to get the full recap. He went through 459 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 1: the timeline that you know, even on season three, after 460 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: season three at the Bachelor, that he was sitting in 461 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 1: a party with pass bachelorrette she said I should host 462 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,680 Speaker 1: the Bachelorette to one of the executive producers of the 463 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,199 Speaker 1: show in front of Chris, and Chris is like, you know, 464 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 1: that's my job, and so he kind of goes through 465 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: this whole thing of you know, one of the weird 466 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 1: parts about The Bachelor and hosting The Bachelor is you know, 467 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 1: you're creating a bunch of people every year that want 468 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: your job, that that would think they can have your job, 469 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 1: that people are gonna tell them they should have your job. 470 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 1: And so when he finds, you know, when he was 471 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: removed from the show or whatever happened, Uh he resigned 472 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,400 Speaker 1: from I don't I don't know the details there. Uh, 473 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 1: the job was open, and he felt like, you know, 474 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 1: some of the cast members kind of all all blood 475 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: in the water. They were saying, Okay, Chris is removed. Hey, 476 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,879 Speaker 1: I might feel terrible about that. I might not like it, 477 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,159 Speaker 1: maybe I do like it, whatever side I'm on. But 478 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,959 Speaker 1: now there's a job opening, I'm going after it. And 479 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 1: he said that, you know, when he talked to Wells, Uh, 480 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,679 Speaker 1: he knew Wells his name was in consideration, and he 481 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 1: thought Wells would have been a great host. So that 482 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 1: was his story was that he thought that made a 483 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: lot of sense. In fact, he believes well should have 484 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 1: been the host um that replaced him with others. He 485 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:39,880 Speaker 1: kind of mentioned that there was blood in the water 486 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 1: and people were, um, we're going after his job, like 487 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 1: kind of immediately that's when he mentioned Nick. That's where 488 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,440 Speaker 1: the headline says that Nick was going after his job 489 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 1: because he knew that Nick was going after his job. 490 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,440 Speaker 1: Like as soon as that was open, the door was open, 491 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: some people ran through it. Uh. And he does he 492 00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: does call that out during the show, And does he 493 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,639 Speaker 1: say like how he was going after the job. I 494 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,920 Speaker 1: don't know, he doesn't. I mean, I'm assuming Chris knew that. 495 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 1: You know, Nick had called the people in power and said, hey, 496 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: I want this job, I could, I should have this job. 497 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: I'm assuming that's all Chris knows. I don't know if 498 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 1: anybody would know the behind the scenes conversations that existed, 499 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 1: but I think the point of that conversation for Chris 500 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,200 Speaker 1: was just saying, hey, it was a weird time. Were 501 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 1: people that I also, you know, consider friends and people 502 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: that came through the show, maybe that I don't know, Well, um, 503 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 1: we're kind of not I don't, I don't. I don't 504 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 1: want it this to sound bad because, as he Chris says, 505 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: it's Hollywood, like, this is what you do. There's a 506 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,239 Speaker 1: job when you go after it. I don't know if 507 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: it's a negative, it's just taking advantage of the opportunity. 508 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: While at the same time Chris was like, yeah, I 509 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 1: was also losing the job that I cared so much about, 510 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: and it was a really weird balance of how do 511 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,159 Speaker 1: I feel, like what emotions do I like, can I 512 00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 1: should I be experiencing during this anger? Frustration, excitement for them? Um, 513 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 1: confusion excitement for them does not come naturally maybe, And 514 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 1: that's and that's kind of the point of that was like, 515 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,439 Speaker 1: it was a very con exactly so Chris's point, I 516 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:15,919 Speaker 1: think was it was a very confusing time mentally to 517 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 1: understand how things were playing out. But then he says, yeah, 518 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 1: but through all this, I thought, you know, and and 519 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,239 Speaker 1: Wells and him are buddies and Wells called him and 520 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:25,879 Speaker 1: kind of had laid out, Hey, you know, how do 521 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: you want me to navigate this? And Chris had told 522 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,959 Speaker 1: you know, some of us like stay quiet, Uh, you know, 523 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:36,160 Speaker 1: don't protect me um in this. Uh, this is my thing, 524 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: this is not yours. Uh and uh and so Wells 525 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: and then he, you know, told Wells like, hey, if 526 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 1: you could the job offer, I'm not mad at you 527 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: for that. I don't hold any resentment towards that. Okay, Um, 528 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:52,959 Speaker 1: did he You just mentioned that. He like doesn't go 529 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,439 Speaker 1: into detail whether he was fired or stepped down. Is 530 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 1: that correct? I can't remember if if he did, it 531 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,440 Speaker 1: was a very small piece of the show, but I 532 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: don't think he did. I imagine it even in that 533 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 1: there's a lot of nuance and complexity of how that 534 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: process worked. I don't remember him mentioning kind of the ending. Okay. 535 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 1: He does talk about writings having gone down, and I'll 536 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 1: I will quote this. Yeah. Okay. So the next headline 537 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: is Chris Harrison was scared after controversial Bachelor exit. He 538 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 1: received death threats, lost twenty pounds, and couldn't sleep. He 539 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 1: said that things spun out of control for a number 540 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 1: of reasons. He was six six. It was tim a 541 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: stomach lost twenty pounds, didn't sleep, didn't eat, scared of death. 542 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: It was one gut punch after another mentally and physically. 543 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 1: He just felt like he was deteriorating. He said, it 544 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 1: wasn't easy having people to tell me die kill yourself 545 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 1: before that horrible. Yeah, you know this this is uh 546 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 1: and Lauren Zema comes on and speaks to it. It's 547 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 1: it's part of the internet. It even before we started 548 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: recording today, some of us on this podcast, you're talking 549 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: about you know what the internet is like. You know, 550 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 1: you go on Reddit, you go on Instagram. Uh. People 551 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 1: like to be negative. It's a very odd thing. People 552 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 1: like to be mean to others. I Uh, I am 553 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 1: very confused by it. Probably always will be. I don't 554 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 1: understand why that is a motivation or why that gets 555 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 1: people off and gives them their jollies for the day. 556 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 1: Is when they make somebody else feel worse about themselves. 557 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 1: All this is true that they mentioned. You know, again, 558 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: there is a behind the scenes of this. This is 559 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 1: not this is a podcast, but there has been a 560 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 1: good amount of time between between the events that happened 561 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 1: and now there. You know, people were threatening the life 562 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: of them, uh, saying they should die. Um. There was 563 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 1: a lot of physical and emotional pain that Lauren and 564 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: Chris went through. Uh. And all that is true. Uh. 565 00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 1: It is not just a story they're telling. It is 566 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: very true. And I also thought it was um, you know, 567 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 1: for anybody out there listening who was also experienced bowling 568 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 1: and these things online, I think it's um most of 569 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 1: us uh that exists on social media at any level 570 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: can or in high school or middle school, can relate 571 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: with this. And then you have a grown man uh 572 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 1: sitting next to his fiance, you know, talking about these 573 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 1: same things and there's a lot of motion around it. 574 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:29,480 Speaker 1: I think it's it's very relatable, and it's it's very difficult. 575 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 1: And if there's one thing that comes from it, My 576 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 1: question to anybody that was very negative is why to 577 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 1: anybody like, why would you ask anybody else to you know, 578 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 1: kill themselves or to harm themselves. It doesn't make sense. Um. 579 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 1: So if you're one of those people doing it one, Uh, 580 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 1: I don't know if you should be listening to this 581 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 1: podcast too. I was gonna say, I can't imagine those 582 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 1: people listening to this pod now. I don't think they are, 583 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 1: but it's just confusing, and it's it's frustrating, um that 584 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 1: we treat each other like that. Okay, continue on, because 585 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 1: he does talk about ratings, and the ratings are okay, 586 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: So he says he doesn't watch a show anymore, but 587 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 1: he does keep an eye on the writings because Human 588 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 1: Interest right when I left, it was still the number 589 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 1: one show on TV, which I mean it was the 590 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 1: number one show on Mondays in that time slot, always 591 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 1: amongst that demographic. I would say it's probably always Monday's 592 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: number one show on regular TV. Right, Um, I think 593 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 1: it was still number one on TV. It was, it 594 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 1: was not the number one show on TV, I think 595 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 1: on on UM on the main networks, I do believe 596 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,239 Speaker 1: it still was because you also have to remember this 597 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 1: is COVID and nobody was coming out with new content 598 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 1: so that season and got a lot of viewership. Okay, 599 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 1: well we'll have to like check that, but let's go 600 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,719 Speaker 1: with it. It was a very popular show. The writings 601 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 1: were good, even though yes, they were slipping over time. 602 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 1: He said, Now, look, do I keep an eye on 603 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 1: the ratings currently? Um, do I know what's happening? Now? 604 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say I'm not so humble or whatever 605 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 1: to have not paid attention to the scoreboard. Yes, I 606 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 1: do know. I realized the ratings are down fifty to 607 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: six and the show has changed dramatically. That hurts me 608 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 1: a little bit because it's something I took pride in building. 609 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 1: It's very interesting and wonderful soul of him. If he 610 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 1: does say if he, if he truly means that he 611 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 1: is um hurt by the declining ratings after he left, 612 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,520 Speaker 1: because I do think that if I were in his position, 613 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 1: I probably wouldn't be as good of a person to 614 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 1: be hurt by it. I'd probably be like, ha ha, 615 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 1: serves you right, you know this is what the show 616 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 1: is without me. I think you would take a little 617 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 1: pride in knowing that the show isn't the same and 618 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 1: people have shown disinterest in it since him leaving. But 619 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 1: you know, if he's hurt, Wow, better person than I well. 620 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 1: And I think a lot of that comes from, you know, 621 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 1: our the conversations I've been able to have with him. 622 00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 1: There's for twenty years. There are people that worked on 623 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 1: that show for twenty A lot of those people became 624 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 1: really good friends of his. Uh A lot like family, 625 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,040 Speaker 1: you got to see that during your time on the 626 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 1: shows UH from audio visual, the producers. When you work 627 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,880 Speaker 1: so closely with people, you travel with people, you're going 628 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 1: out to eat with people, and you're doing it so 629 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 1: many months of the year, you become very close with them, 630 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 1: and so I think he is hurt. Maybe, I mean, 631 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 1: I don't want to speak for Chris. I know he 632 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 1: says for the show. I think if I would, you know, 633 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 1: if I was to make the assumption, I have no clue. 634 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 1: I think he's very hurt for the people working on 635 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 1: the show, that he that he knows that the show 636 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 1: is not doing what it once did, and that those 637 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 1: people are family to him, and that you know, the 638 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 1: brand of the Bachelor, he does still feel a lot 639 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 1: of ownership in because he helped build that. You know, 640 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 1: if you most of us, I would also say, I 641 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 1: would add in here, I'm I'm adding in my assumptions. 642 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 1: When I heard Chris speak to this, when I was 643 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 1: surprised he even said it. But I do think it 644 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 1: showed a level of honest the UH during this show, 645 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 1: and kind of that he was willing to say things 646 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 1: that maybe people weren't expecting him to say. That he 647 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,879 Speaker 1: still watches the ratings. Chris is one of the most 648 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 1: competitive men I've ever met in my life. Uh. He 649 00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:16,800 Speaker 1: is competitive at every level. He does not like to lose. Um, 650 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:20,800 Speaker 1: he wants to win. Uh. And there's no better example 651 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 1: that than when we play golf. He becomes a human 652 00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 1: that is almost impossible to be. I would like to 653 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 1: say it's just because he has that presence about him, 654 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 1: but he's also very skilled. I imagine looking at the 655 00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:39,319 Speaker 1: ratings is a competitive side of him too, to say, Okay, like, 656 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,920 Speaker 1: you know, I'm getting some value maybe I want in 657 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:44,840 Speaker 1: a in a way like I have some value to 658 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,719 Speaker 1: this show that maybe they didn't recognize, or maybe they 659 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,399 Speaker 1: did recognize, but they didn't realize how much value I had. 660 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 1: Like there's some competitiveness there. So obviously he was going 661 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:57,480 Speaker 1: to watch ratings. Um. You know, he had so much 662 00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:01,400 Speaker 1: invested into the success of that show. So I'm gonna 663 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,839 Speaker 1: if as a friend, I will go as far as 664 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:08,240 Speaker 1: to say, I would imagine that's the competitive side of him. Um. 665 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 1: He wasn't one to say that, but I am. Okay, 666 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,960 Speaker 1: all right.

You're doing such a 710 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 1: good job doing your job. I feel like I'm failing now. 711 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,839 Speaker 1: I haven't listened to the Too Crisp podcast. I haven't listened. 712 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:49,680 Speaker 1: I haven't watched this, but it was on my to 713 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:53,759 Speaker 1: do list to watch Hannah Brown on what's the name 714 00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:57,120 Speaker 1: of the show, Stronger than I Think I am? Special Forces? 715 00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:00,760 Speaker 1: No Special Forces. All the stuff is to us Colin 716 00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:03,600 Speaker 1: stronger than I Think I am. Okay, So here's my 717 00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,359 Speaker 1: take on the first episode. I really enjoyed it. And 718 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,600 Speaker 1: I don't enjoy reality television too much. I don't watch it. 719 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,560 Speaker 1: It is not something that's usually on my television. I 720 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:16,480 Speaker 1: tuned into this, uh and I was like in it. 721 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,040 Speaker 1: I will say Hannah Brown does not play a massive 722 00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:23,759 Speaker 1: role in the first episode. Um, she is as a 723 00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:29,880 Speaker 1: minor character. Uh. There, Dwight Howard kind of takes over because, um, 724 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,480 Speaker 1: it's his storyline. There's a few other storylines that are shared. 725 00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:36,240 Speaker 1: Imagine also, Hannah will can may have a bigger storyline 726 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,239 Speaker 1: because she's stuck around. Uh, there's a lot of people 727 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,840 Speaker 1: that left. Oh, you get eliminated or you eliminate yourself. 728 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:46,160 Speaker 1: You kind of eliminate yourself because it's so freaking hard. 729 00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:50,920 Speaker 1: I mean, it looks brutal ash like, um, just I'm 730 00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:53,439 Speaker 1: not gonna give away anything. I think people would enjoy 731 00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:57,920 Speaker 1: watching it. Uh. It is different television. Um there's some 732 00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,400 Speaker 1: you know, corny, goofy parts uh to it. But for 733 00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:04,359 Speaker 1: the most part, man, I was in it. So here's 734 00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 1: the headline, how Hannah Brown's returned to reality TV proved 735 00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:12,160 Speaker 1: she's stronger than I think I am. Yeah, okay, So 736 00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,080 Speaker 1: she says, it's a competition within yourself. I've gone through 737 00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,120 Speaker 1: such a crazy time in my life and I was 738 00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:19,719 Speaker 1: really trying to heal and grow, and I felt like 739 00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,520 Speaker 1: this show will be a really good way to challenge 740 00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:27,120 Speaker 1: myself in all the work that I had done. She 741 00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:32,880 Speaker 1: said that the living conditions were the hardest part um 742 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,920 Speaker 1: and that she was They were all given a box 743 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,680 Speaker 1: that had three pairs of underwear to bras, and they 744 00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:44,760 Speaker 1: had two sets of clothes for the entire time, a bar, soap, 745 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:48,120 Speaker 1: a toothbrush. So to everybody who complains about the living 746 00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:51,680 Speaker 1: conditions in Paradise, they're gonna have to go on this show. Next. 747 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:55,359 Speaker 1: She said that they were on the teeniest cots, all 748 00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:59,080 Speaker 1: in a tent outside the Jordanian desert, going to the 749 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,319 Speaker 1: bathroom and gets with a piece of poly wood in 750 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:05,800 Speaker 1: between us that kept our heads out the entire time. 751 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,960 Speaker 1: So you think the privacy situation in Paradise in the 752 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:15,040 Speaker 1: bathrooms with just like a little like shower curtain is bad, 753 00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:17,960 Speaker 1: this sounds way worse. She goes, It's not a beauty 754 00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,600 Speaker 1: pageant at all. I'm honestly terrified to see what I 755 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,000 Speaker 1: look like the entire time. It truly feels like you're 756 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,759 Speaker 1: fighting for your life at all times. I was just 757 00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:31,120 Speaker 1: in discomfort the entire time. And she also said that 758 00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:34,200 Speaker 1: the show has taught her how much stronger she is 759 00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:35,719 Speaker 1: and she thought she was, and that she's come a 760 00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,520 Speaker 1: long way. Even when it feels like you can't take anymore, 761 00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,720 Speaker 1: she said, there's always this extra gear that we all have. 762 00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:47,560 Speaker 1: I would I would say Hannah Brown is probably extremely competitive. 763 00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:49,319 Speaker 1: I don't think that girl likes to lose. I mean, 764 00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:52,560 Speaker 1: if you look at her beauty pageants, beauty pageants, if 765 00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:54,399 Speaker 1: you look at Dancing with the Stars, if you look 766 00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,799 Speaker 1: at her time on the Bachelorette, I would not be 767 00:40:56,840 --> 00:41:00,200 Speaker 1: shocked if Hannah Brown wins this show because I have 768 00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:03,840 Speaker 1: a feeling there is a there is something inside of 769 00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:09,880 Speaker 1: that person um that refuses to lose at anything um, 770 00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:14,239 Speaker 1: which is something I admire that I think UM is 771 00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,719 Speaker 1: like that instinct um that you're either born with or 772 00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:21,840 Speaker 1: you aren't. You aren't. And she's tough through this. She's 773 00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,319 Speaker 1: such a tough cookie though. You can just tell.

In fact, you know, I do think that 783 00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,400 Speaker 1: brings some uh some grit out in you, and you 784 00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:55,919 Speaker 1: become a different human when you really break things down 785 00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:58,200 Speaker 1: and you take away the luxuries and you get simple again. 786 00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:02,319 Speaker 1: The bathroom situation in uh is is tough. I mean 787 00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:06,560 Speaker 1: there's scenes of these people like puking because it's so gross. Um, 788 00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:08,319 Speaker 1: I could do it, and I don't have a lot 789 00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:11,799 Speaker 1: of shame and like in those situations, and so I 790 00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,000 Speaker 1: just I just kind of go with it. And if 791 00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,680 Speaker 1: we're all in it together. Um, we're doing it together. 792 00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:18,160 Speaker 1: Here's the parts that I have a hard time with. 793 00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:22,399 Speaker 1: The challenges. Uh. I you know, as I've gotten older, ash, 794 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:25,520 Speaker 1: I've gotten mentally weak when it comes to like heights 795 00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:31,280 Speaker 1: uh and um, you know, laying you know, going underneath 796 00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:34,600 Speaker 1: the water and feeling claustrophobic. Like those things, for whatever reason, 797 00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:37,239 Speaker 1: have become big parts of my life where I feel claustrophobic, 798 00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,839 Speaker 1: I'm scared of heights, like I don't know what's going on. 799 00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:42,160 Speaker 1: I would have a hard time with that.
