00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: than I planned, but it still happened finally, And I

43
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: mean before we even get into anything with the engagement,

44
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: I have to see that ring because it is massive.

45
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: It is so beautiful. It takes up your full knuckles. Really,

00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: way too much here on this podcast, but I will

59
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: say one last time, hoping it happened soon. So when

60
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: you actually when you got engaged, I think I was

61
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 1: on tour and I was just blinded by your ring

62
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, miss, look at this. My

63
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,959
Speaker 1: friend Andy just got engaged. Imagine the at nothing more

64
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: than that, but you know they need it. Yeah, they

65
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: need a little kick in the ass sometimes. Um, so

66
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: I want to get into it because you I mean,

67
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: I didn't even know you were dating anyone until you

68
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: guys became Insta official, which was back with what about

69
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: a year ago? Well, it was like what did they

70
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: say now? The soft launch, softch soft and hard launches.

71
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: I think it's still remember so actually my he was

72
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: coming for Thanksgiving with my family and I was like, okay,

73
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: I should probably like announce this like it was going

74
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: well my time, and I remember like calling my mom

75
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, I'm gonna post a picture of him.

76
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: She's like, well, can I see it? Firstly? Of course

77
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: here She's like I can't even see his face. I

78
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I know, it's a it's a soft launch, mom,

79
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: And then I love that. I think that first posted

80
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: his face like maybe like New Year's and then by

81
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: March you're engaged. But we've been dating since like August,

82
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 1: so yeah, I think people thought it was I mean,

83
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: it's still always like six months, but I think people

84
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: thought it when you know, you know that for sure,

85
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: I really like believe that I mean, look, I've known

86
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: and I've thought I've known and not didn't work out.

87
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: But I think now you really know. And honestly, that

88
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 1: amount of time is like a decade in the bachelor world,

89
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: so you're totally fine. I think it's also like age,

90
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: like the older you are and he's you know, he

91
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 1: just turned thirty six, I'm thirty five. You just know

92
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 1: yourself better, you know what you want. You've been in

93
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,239
Speaker 1: relationships to know like what works and what doesn't, and

94
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: you can kind of see those red flags. And with

95
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: Blake there were just no red flags. And remember, like

96
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: month by month, I'm like, all right, when is where

97
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: is the shoe gonna draw? I never did, and it

98
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:17,799
Speaker 1: was long enough time for me to know like, Okay,

99
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 1: this is my person, Like this, Oh my gosh. I

100
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: feel like we have so much to talk about, so

101
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: much in common. We really do. But I really want

102
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: to know how you guys met. Well, how we met

103
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: in college at a party he playing baseball with one

104
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 1: of my good friends that I grew up with. I

105
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: remember I was like fourth of July lake house party.

106
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: It was probably like eighteen or nineteen m and my

107
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: friend brought like all of his teammates down and I

108
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: remember like eyeing Blaine. I was like, all right, he's

109
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: really hot, like hook it up yea, And I never

110
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: got the set up. I'm assuming that like in hindsight,

111
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: Blaine probably had a girlfriend. I didn't even ask um,

112
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: but never got set up with him. And then literally

113
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: like fifteen years later, last summer, our mutual friends getting

114
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: married and Blame like hit me up on DM ask

00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: So right, he drove three hours, came to Potano. Damn.

155
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: I love this his own noteps. I was kind of worried.

156
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: I'm like, I hope this guy doesn't think that, like

157
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: he's coming to crash with us. But you know, we

158
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: like run into friends in Europe all the time. I

159
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: feel like if someone's there, especially the New York Connection,

160
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: people are always over there. So we've been like hanging

161
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: with friends like all summer basically, So it wasn't weird

162
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: that he was coming. I was like, great, more than Marrier.

163
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: But I was hoping he had his own setup going on,

164
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: because I was like, I'm not he's not about to

165
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: coach crash at our nice place here. Yeah, oh my gosh,

166
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: good for him. I love a man who goes for

167
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 1: what he wants. He said no to the wedding, but

168
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: he's like, fuck it, I'm going to meet this girl

169
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: in Europe. Yeah. Yeah, I came for him too, like

170
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm good buddy. And then I mean

171
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: he was in fuzzy Tano, like Okaya, it is so

172
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: romantic there. So I have to ask them after that trip,

173
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: did you kind of know did you both feel like

174
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: you wanted to continue dating or what? Did it take

175
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: a while for you to be like, oh, this could

176
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: actually work out and be a thing. Yeah. I remember

177
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 1: like telling my friend the first day we met him,

178
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: I was like, he's just like too reserved for me,

179
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: too shy for me. And we ended up hanging out

180
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: more and he's great. We both like left Italy and

181
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,839
Speaker 1: we were back in the States and kept talking, kept

182
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,599
Speaker 1: face timing. I remember like getting on the plane and

183
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: I was just like, man, I really liked that guy.

184
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: Probably never see him again, but that was great, you know.

185
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: I had a great time. And then we ended up

186
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: like meeting up I think a week or two later,

187
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: and that's when I kind of knew it was not

188
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: just like the Italian romance summer fling. It was in

189
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: the States. And then it was funny because I was like,

190
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: all right, I think I need to probably like tie

191
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: up some loose ends, like some summer reply right back

192
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: to you. And we were both single and like, yeah,

193
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: oh no, shame, yeah, I gotta type some loose ends.

194
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,719
Speaker 1: He was like, yeah, me too, Aelia. At least you're

195
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: both on the same page. I love that you guys

196
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: can both be open though, and like nobody took it personally.

197
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: I think it was our way of like asking each

198
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 1: other every girl exclusive. I love this between between the

199
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: soft launch, like knowing that he was the one how

200
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: much time? Oh no, I knew he was the one

201
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: with the soft launch, yeah, where you are such a

202
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: private person and when it comes to your relationships that

203
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: I feel like when you finally we're going to post

204
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: with somebody, I was like, he's going to be it,

205
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: like I already know, like I see what's going on. Yeah,

206
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: like a pretty good amount of guy. Since the show's

207
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: been like seven or eight years, and I don't think

208
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: I've ever posted any of them, but there was one

209
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: on Instagram where you posted somebody's feet. Was that Blaine's no,

210
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 1: He's gonna kill me for asking no no, no, I

211
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: remember that, and I literally thought, I think it was

212
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: like one of my friends and I'm like, can you

213
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 1: take a photo for me? Everyone freaked. I was like,

214
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: oh god, the internet went wild over that photo. It

215
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: was on like a story or like a post. I

216
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: think it was on a post, and you took it

217
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 1: down right. I was gonna say, I know what I'm

218
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,839
Speaker 1: going after this podcast. It was so good because I

219
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: think you were in Mexico. I wanted to say you

220
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 1: were so much tropical, and and it was like it

221
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: was such a sexy photo of like you on vacation.

222
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: It was your back and then his feet, and people

223
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: were like trying to find out who this man was

224
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: with just his tone nails, and I was like, people

225
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: are so invested in other people's relationships, it's wild. Also

226
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: why I kept it private was because I'm sure you

227
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: guys get this too, Like people make comments about past

228
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: relationships when they're trying to like guess who somebody is,

229
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: just like I feel awful for the guy. Like even

230
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: when I post with Blaine, like people will kind of

231
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: make reference to, oh, it looks like so and so

232
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: or his demeanor, even people I haven't necessarily dated, but

233
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: people within the franchise, and it just kind of like

234
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: irks me. I'm like, really, do you think that if

235
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: you were a girl and your boyfriend posted of you

236
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: that you would want being compared to other girls? And

237
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: I don't right that way, but it just it always happens.

238
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: So I feel like I kind of was a little

239
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: bit hesitant for that reason. That's I get and I

240
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: so respect that. That's so smart to have that mindset

241
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: to be like, I want to protect my partner who

242
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: I'm with now, And because I don't know Blaine's background

243
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: or what he does where he works, but I'm sure

244
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: this world is probably new and a lot to take. Yeah,

245
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 1: he's like a bro, like he is not a reality

246
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: TV watcher. He likes sports, he likes beer, he likes golf,

247
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,599
Speaker 1: like he manly man in the sense of this is

248
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: not his world. And that I think other thing that

249
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: you know, when we've dated people in Batchel Nation, they

250
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: get it. But I think that level protection is more

251
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: so for the people that are not in this world. Yeah,

252
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: it's a lot to take. It's a lot for us

253
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: to take an a room after we've been in it,

254
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: and so yeah, being somebody who never grew up watching

255
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: it or kind of being infiltrated in it. It's oh

256
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: my god, I can't even imagine being in that position.

257
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: It would be so much. Um, but I want to

258
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: get into your engagement and the proposal. Did you have

259
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: any idea that it was coming up? Yes? Okay, did

260
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: you help? Did you did you know what kind of

261
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: bring you on it? Or is that all? We picked

262
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: it out together? And he was like so excited he

263
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: can't He would like show me photos of the room

264
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: that he had picked up. Please don't show me any

265
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: photos I want. Yeah, You're like I want to be surprised,

266
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 1: so excited, and then um, he was coming for the

267
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: La marathon and our family was coming in and I

268
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: think he like literally told me he went to the

269
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: safety deposit box, like I knew he had. Because sometimes

270
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: men just can't keep secret it right, or they feel

271
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: like they are keeping a secret and they're really not.

272
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: But if you want to let them, okay. So take

273
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: us back to the the day or the night of

274
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: the proposal, Like waking up in the morning, You're like,

275
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: I'm like, what day? I actually thought maybe it would

276
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: be the Saturday before the marathon, but Friday, like no

277
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: one's answered my calls, which my mom was like, oh,

278
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: I'm brunching or playing golf or something. I kind of

279
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: believe it. And then you're going down to the beach.

280
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: He made like dinner reservations and we always go to

281
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: the beach when it's nice for like sunset cocktails, Like

282
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: nothing new. I love it there. It's like my happy place.

283
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: And Friday, we're driving down to the beach and no

284
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: one's answered my calls and I FaceTime my friend Kelly,

00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:32,280

00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: he's like being so weird. He's like kind of dressed up.

292
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: I'm in like sweatpants, and I see a photographer and

293
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,560

Speaker 1: It's like down to the water. I'm like, okay, babe.

295
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: But the know was he was just by the way.

00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: We're not doing dinner. We're just gonna go to the

297
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,680

303
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: said to mine, or at least I thought, I was like, oh,

Speaker 1: thank god, like no one's here and everyone it was

305
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: like whatpening like? So my family had come in early.

306
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: His parents came, which is their first play, which is awesome,

307
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: and like some of my closest friends, my sister came

308
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: with her husband and the kids, and that was a

309
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: huge surprise to me and posted a video. I was

310
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: like very very emotional for that, and I don't retually cry,

311
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: but that was a thing. H oh my god. And

312
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: you were still in your stebpants, right because you had

313
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: a chance to change, don't you wish now he would

314
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: have given you some sort of not an inklean, but

315
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: would have been like, oh, like let's stress up a

316
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: little bit. No. I think he kind of tried to

317
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: and just like this is what I'm wearing. I mean,

318
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: you're like jarred. They're like not sweatpants. But I didn't work.

319
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: Yeah company right now, wait, are these are the ones? Yeah,

320
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: it's probably. It's nice so symbolic, you know what. I'm

321
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: glad that he just let me be comfortable, Like I

322
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: didn't care. I liked the sweater, I liked the pants.

323
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: It was very casual, but like, it's like not me

324
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: to dress up like that for something kind of intimate

325
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: in that, right. I want to ask you this because

326
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: I feel like you and I are pretty similar, and

327
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: you know, speaking from experience, we went from the show.

328
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: We had a very extract probably the most extravagant way

329
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: you could ever get engaged, right, it was in front

330
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: of millions of people, with this massive Neil Lane diamond. This, Like,

331
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: how did you feel with this proposal knowing that it

332
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: was only for your eyes and the photographers and very

333
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: intimate just between you two? Like, what did that feel like?

334
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: On a much different level? I mean obviously totally different.

335
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: Only the second time I've gotten proposed to, so there's

336
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: not a ton of comparison, But it was just what

337
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: I wanted. Like, as you tells asually, when comes to

338
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: the relationships, I'm pretty private. I loved that the photographer

339
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: was there, just because I do love the photos that

340
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,360
Speaker 1: we had and it kind of encapsulates that moment. But

341
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: I'm thirty five, I've been engaged, like you said, in

342
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 1: front of millions and millions of people. It's not the

343
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,360
Speaker 1: way I wanted for it to happen a second time.

344
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 1: So it was a special place for us. It was

345
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: important for me to like do it in La in

346
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 1: my home, for my coastal right now, but it was

347
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 1: that was really important to me to just do it

348
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,719
Speaker 1: in a place that was like my spot. H I

349
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: love that, And it was beautiful. Those photos were absolutely beautiful.

350
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: And I mean, I just know you and how probably

351
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: excited you wore that you did find your man. But

352
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: I was so happy when I said, I got chills

353
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: all over my body. I was about to walk out

354
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: on the stage and sell, especially with your family, like

355
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: your friends and family and all of that too. That

356
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: had to be pretty cool that you're able to Like

357
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: I just I told him like two things, my please

358
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 1: don't propose like right after the marathon, because I've done

359
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: the marathon before and it's not gonna be pretty. And

360
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: goydn't do it anytime soon, like Mabe, do it while

361
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: I'm still thirty four. I was like if so, you know,

362
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: I'm so so impressed with you and your running capabilities.

363
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if I have any desire to run

364
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 1: even a five k, Like no can he can he

365
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: keep up with like six for in an athlete like

366
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 1: he is way faster. I asked him to do the marathon.

367
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, it'd be great. Oh I wish

368
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 1: I could just be like, yeah, let's sign up for

369
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: this marathon, no big deal. Are like in good shape

370
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: like they do stuff athletically. I'm just like, really, like

371
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 1: you didn't even have to train very hard for that,

372
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 1: Like what you're running in sandals right now? You're not

373
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,679
Speaker 1: even in ten and shoes. This is bullshit. He like,

374
00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: I couldn't do it. Everything on to him, like all

375
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: my Gatorades and like any like waters. I had, like

376
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 1: a flexure, you go pack. I love that. I mean

377
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 1: it sounds like you are both so supportive of each other,

378
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 1: and so I'm glad that he can because that it's

379
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 1: such a passion of yours and I'm glad that he

380
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: can be alongside you and bring you up and partake

381
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 1: in it and not just be like, ah, you got this,

382
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: good luck. It's nice also trained together it was a

383
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: good way to spend time together. I mean, when you're

384
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: running for hours training, it's just like the two of us,

385
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: it's a it's a nice kind of quiet time for

386
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 1: both of us. Just like, yeah, so when you sound nice,

387
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: especially when you're like come off the show of you know,

388
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: everything's so luxurious and spontaneous, spontaneous and all these different

389
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: things to be able to like see your person fit

390
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 1: into your daily life and like spend time. You know,

391
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,479
Speaker 1: what is your time look like Monday through Friday? Friday?

392
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: You know, I'm interested to know this. So when you

393
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 1: two run together and spend that time, do you have

394
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: your air pods in and you're both kind of listening

395
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: to music and zen out? Or are you both talkers

396
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,479
Speaker 1: and storytellers? How does this fellow he is such a

397
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 1: talker when we run, like I feel like that's his

398
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 1: time to just chat chat chat away. Like he's not

399
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: he's chatty, but he's definitely a little more like reserved

400
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: and quieter than I am. We start running, he does

401
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: not stopped talking. That's actually nice for you though, Like

402
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: that though, is it a distraction or are you just

403
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: like it depends no, usually connect distraction for sure? A

404
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 1: good distraction. I'm just like, I just need to get

405
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: through it and then like we'll do hills and I'll

406
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 1: be just just kind of complaining. I'm like telling up, Oh,

407
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 1: does he does he understand that when he's working out

408
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 1: with you? Though? Like he does he understand that if

409
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 1: he's talking to you that you don't necessarily have to

410
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 1: answer back, Like it's not like a full back doesn't

411
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 1: expect that makes sense? M Yeah, yeah, M not in Yeah.

412
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: Do you think you could have been with somebody who

413
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 1: wasn't into running or who wouldn't be willing to tend

414
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: zero interest? Yes? I think it's not like a deal breaker,

415
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: like it's not what you know, my entire life. But

416
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: I think it's nice, like you said back earlier, that

417
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: somebody is supportive enough to be like, yeah, I'll do

418
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 1: that because it's something that you want to do. And

419
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: I mean, look, he likes fitness. He's in good shape,

420
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: so I'm not asking him to do anything like crazy.

421
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: You know, it's kind of aligned with he likes being fit,

422
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: So that was an easier self for it. But I

423
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 1: didn't even have to sell it actually, Like I think

424
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: he just wanted to do it a as a challenged himself.

425
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: But be just to do it because I like doing it.

426
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 1: I think that's so something that you like doing just

427
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: because they want to make you happy. So for somebody

428
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: who Okay, I have a two part question here. So

429
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,360
Speaker 1: for you, obviously love to run. Blaine has taken it up.

430
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,719
Speaker 1: I'm sure more so because you love it and now

431
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: you can spend this quality time together. Thomas is going

432
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: to be running his first marathon, So A what advice

433
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: would you give to him when he's training for this

434
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: first marathon because it's been grueling and his body is

435
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 1: in pain. And be for me as a supportive partner,

436
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: what could I be doing? Or you know, like what

437
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: do you see that Blaine does that really help support

438
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: you in the best ways. Okay, I actually have two

439
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 1: good answers for you for this UM. One, you gotta

440
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: tell him he's got to do the recovery, like my

441
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 1: old coaches say, the recoveries in the gates. You have

442
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: to like do the Epps and saw. You have to

443
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 1: do the photower, you have to do like the guns

444
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: that breaks all of the acid and everything in your body.

445
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: You have to do that, even though it's thank you.

446
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: And then I think for you. My coach actually did

447
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: this for me when I was doing the really long runs.

448
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 1: He would like strap a water belt and ride the bike,

449
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 1: so I had so I feel like you could do that.

450
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: Oh shit, I can totally do that. Or I'll get

451
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 1: my little motorized scooter and just scoot scoot around. Oh

452
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 1: hell yeah, oh my god, I'm so glad we had

453
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: you on. You could definitely I could see you falling

454
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: or following um Thomas, Yeah, for sure. I mean I'll

455
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: give him his water and all, how of a margarita

456
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: as I'm you know, riding my screater my bike whatever.

457
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: Can you get one of those hats that like has

458
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: the two cans for the water the straws like on

459
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: a bike. Honestly, oh my god, this would be people.

460
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: Do they let people when you're actually running the marathon?

461
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: Is it only for you runners? Or can I be

462
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: a supportive partner and be like, I'm gonna bike and

463
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: feed him his water as we're on this path? Is

464
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: that not allowed? You run a couple of miles with somebody.

465
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:35,959
Speaker 1: They call it like I think it's called a bandit

466
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: Actually funny story because Matt Jeans got busted for that.

467
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: The first time for New York. Oh, you can do

468
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: it for a few miles, but you're not people have

469
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: to qualify and so yeah, you're not trying to like

470
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: take the spot away, but you can definitely like help

471
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: them out, like run along side for a mile or two.

472
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: Oh so, oh I could totally do that. So to

473
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: start out, I could just do any one of those numbers,

474
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 1: or can I do it? Well, you won't have the

475
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 1: bit Okay, So I could just do a mile and

476
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 1: then tap out and along the course jump in and

477
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: with him. Oh I love this. Okay, I could do that,

478
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: but so does Becca have to keep up with him

479
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: for the first mile? The real question that will not happen.

480
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: I'm just looking out for you when he's slowing down

481
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: and hurting then yeah, okay, well okay, because you said

482
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: Blade is what six four? And Andy, how tall are you? Like?

483
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: My defense is asking um five six? So you're like

484
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: my hype basically, So is it hard to keep up

485
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: with him or does he slow himself down? To say

486
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: it your pace? Oh, he definitely slows himself down. Okay,

487
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 1: twice as long as mine probably. Yeah. Yeah, well that's

488
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 1: what I'm worried about it. Yeah, so maybe I'll tap

489
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: in at the very end with Thomas. Okay, wow, once

490
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 1: the blisters are there, the calves are cramped. Wait, what's

491
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: this Matt James story? He just ran too far and

492
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: got in trouble. No, no no, no no, he was Remember when

493
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: Tyler and I did New York Marathon is before COVID,

494
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: Matt like jumped in and people were like giving him

495
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,719
Speaker 1: so much crap for it because it's like bandit running

496
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: like I think he ran like ten miles of him,

497
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: but he hadn't qualified. It's like not, oh, it's fair,

498
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. But if you do like damn. Okay.

499
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: So for anyone listening, I'm not crashing the marathon with

500
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 1: Thomas one day. I Am just doing a one bandit mile.

501
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 1: You heard it here first, folks. He's it's just it's

502
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 1: the one in San Diego. It's called the Oh my god,

503
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: I should know what the name of it is because

504
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: he I was post about it the San Diego something marathon.

505
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 1: Look at how sportify. I am. I should know this,

506
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: but but it's it's it's the first one. And so

507
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: he had been talking about wanting to do a marathon,

508
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: and I just thought you know, in a year, he's

509
00:25:58,160 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 1: list to train because he doesn't really run. He like

510
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 1: to lift and do yoga, but he was never really

511
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: an avid runner. And one day he came home and

512
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: he's like, I listened to this badass podcast from David Goggins,

513
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: and now I just signed up for the marathon. And

514
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 1: I was like, are you sure? Like that's it's always

515
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 1: a podcast or a documentary that gives you realize it's

516
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: twenty six miles tenty like, and you are not a runner.

517
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 1: But he's been training a little bit and he loves

518
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 1: it and he is super dedicated, so I know he'll

519
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: be great. I mean, he has a much better mindset

520
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 1: when it comes to that than I do. But do

521
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 1: you just hand, like, dude, Andy, do you just have

522
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: a ton of like intense blisters by the end of it,

523
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 1: Because everybody that I know, like after the marathon, like

524
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 1: their bodies are in so much pain with like the

525
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: blisters in like the cramping and the shins body. Yeah,

526
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: like you he's not supposed to run twenty six miles.

527
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: I mean challenge no, if you get the right shoes,

528
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 1: like the right sizing, if you hydrate, like you don't

529
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: have to worry about the cramps, like there are so

530
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 1: many things to do in order to m Yeah, walking

531
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 1: could walk up my fun. Justine, tell me about the

532
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 1: carving up process, because I feel like that would be

533
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: the fun part of eat pasta, cupcakes everything, Like I

534
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 1: heard like double jozy cookies from the mall in Georgia

535
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,640
Speaker 1: for us, like just eating them before and after. So yeah,

536
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 1: I think how many days before or like just the

537
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: night before, I mean, and you're burning it all off. Anyways,

538
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: I don't remember what thought it was. I think it

539
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 1: might have been the one in New York pre covid.

540
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: I remember watching you eat your pasta. I think it

541
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 1: was the night or two before, and I was like,

542
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: I am so jealous of this woman right now. I

543
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: was doing cupcakes and pasta like the whole week in

544
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: New York. I was hitting up like Magnolia Bakery Downash

545
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: three who used it is? Oh my gosh, you are

546
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 1: so dedicated though, I know will say, like watching you

547
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 1: and your stories be so supportive of all of the

548
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 1: fellow indoor fans, it's so incredible. It like very it

549
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: really is inspiring, like I should be better and joining

550
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 1: has their thing Like for me, it was definitely like

551
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: some mental kind of therapeutic thing for me, especially when

552
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 1: I was in New York and kind of getting out

553
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: of like my shoe box apartment. I think everyone kind

554
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: of has that one thing that they're kind of fixated

555
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 1: on for whatever reason, whether it's like getting with your

556
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: bad day or you know, if it's a glass of wine,

557
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: or it's going for a run or yoga. A lot

558
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: of people, so I think for me, it's just like

559
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 1: that's just my thing that I've done. And didn't you say,

560
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,959
Speaker 1: did you start it because you were traveling so much

561
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 1: that it was just a good way to get out

562
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: and see wherever new places you were. Yeah, I mean

563
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: it was a good way to exercise. Like first of all,

564
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: you know when you travel, like especially show you're everywhere

565
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: and you're like, I don't want to go to the

566
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 1: hotel gym or you know, I don't want to I

567
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: don't can't find a gym. So for me, it was

568
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: just getting out running like different cities. And it is

569
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: true you see stuff so differently on foot, Like you

570
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: notice then when I run my own neighborhood, I notice

571
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 1: houses or I notice you know, trees are just things

572
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: that are like you don't see while you're driving a

573
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 1: car or not that you'd pay attention to. Yeah, that's

574
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 1: so very true, and I should never really thought about that. Yeah,

575
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: except for them. Sometimes I've gone on runs and I

576
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: don't notice because I'm like wheezing, not even having like

577
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: want a full month. When I first did the marathon,

578
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: I trained that hard, but I was like a walk

579
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: roun a little bit walks. That's awesome, though. Oh man,

580
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna have you up on speed dial before

581
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: his marathon just so I can get pick your brain

582
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: more and get your advice, because it's it's gonna be neat. No,

583
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm being inspired to run a marathon.

584
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:39,719
Speaker 1: I'm like thinking about it, and I'm not sure if

585
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: it was if it's Andy, or if it's like the

586
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: car bloating cupcakes and pass a ten k. We should

587
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: do like a boucher at ten k. I feel like

588
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: we could do that. That would be how many of

589
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: us are there now? Like eight? Oh well there's more

590
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: than eighteen, right, no eighteen? No team technically they will

591
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: be soon with Rachel and Gabby. Do you like our

592
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 1: virtual marathon and we could do we actually one mile

593
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: and then it taps on to the next person and

594
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: then to make up the last miles. Andy can do

595
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: a couple, you know, I'll try to do two or three.

596
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: I'll take one for the team. But we could do

597
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: it for a share money. Wait, let's do that. I

598
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: actually really like that kind of like Andy, you remember

599
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: when we did a couple of years ago. It was

600
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: during COVID we did the like Past the Rose Challenge.

601
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: It could be like that, except running a mile. You

602
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: could do wherever you want, like Submary. Yeah, I love that.

603
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: That would actually be fun too, to show the different

604
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: cities that everyone's in across the country. Wait, will you

605
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: guys really do it? I'm so down. No, I Ndercent

606
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: would do it. And I'm already like thinking about like

607
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: the video footage to just like showing like running and

608
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: like house. Yeah, all the different scenery, all the different areas. Okay,

609
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: let's actually talk about this and put a plan in place,

610
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: because I would be so down, especially if it's going

611
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: for a good cause. I mean, sign me up all

612
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: the time. I would love that. I must just make

613
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: an to get on there and see. Yeah. Yeah, okay,

614
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: So speaking of Boucherette's, I mean, obviously we all have

615
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: that in common going back. I mean, sometimes I hate

616
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: to do this, so I hate to ask you this,

617
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: but like going back to your time on the show.

618
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: You know, it worked out for some of us, it

619
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: worked out, it didn't work out for some of us.

620
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: So I totally understand probably your mindset. But do you

621
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: have any favorite memories that stand out when you were Bachelorette? Oh,

622
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,959
Speaker 1: I mean the travel, Like we went to incredible places

623
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 1: both bachelor and Bachelorette my seasons. That was like, I

624
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: feel like I was kind of the height of the traveling.

625
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: The travel was amazing. I had a great experience. Like

626
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: even though it didn't work out, you know, picked the

627
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: wrong guy clearly or the wrong relationship, at least I

628
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,040
Speaker 1: thought it was great. Like I had a blast. I

629
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: thought it was life changing for me. I feel like

630
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: we can all probably attest to that, where it's like

631
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: it just it changed my life. I put it in

632
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: a totally different trajectory. And yeah, there was some stuff

633
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: that we had to deal with, you know, whether it's

634
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 1: just people talking or you know, the emotional effects of

635
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 1: like being away from all of your friends and family

636
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: and doing this kind of alone. But all said and done,

637
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: like I just I thought I was incredible. It changed

638
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: my life. It's like a huge defining point in my life.

639
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: And yeah, I have like zero regrets on it. I

640
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: think the traveling was great falling in love honestly, Like again,

641
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: even though it didn't work out, I fell in love

642
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: like that's always fun. Yeah, I would hope that everyone

643
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: coming from the show has that mindset, like even if

644
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: it didn't work out, that you still make so many friends,

645
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 1: you know, when you're living with the contestants, and you

646
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: have really some of the most incredible memories, and that's

647
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: what all always take with me. And so I'm glad

648
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: that you still look back fondly. And I like that

649
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: you say you would have no regrets. Yeah, regardless of

650
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: how things ended in the long run or not, that's

651
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 1: go For a breakup, you might as well have done

652
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: it while traveling the world and meeting people. And you know,

653
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: dying you made you a very good point. Go bigger go.

654
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 1: Do you have a favorite dress or outfit that you

655
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: just like, absolutely loved, Like when you think about your

656
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: fashion sense and everything back to when you were the bachelorette,

657
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: what does that outfit or that A few really great ones?

658
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: I remember there was one that I loved. It's kind

659
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: of a funny story because Carrie Fetman, obviously the stylist,

660
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: m hold this dress and he was like, look, you

661
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 1: cannot spill on this dress, like carry, I never swell.

662
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: You looks at me like, yes, you cannot dress. I

663
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: was like, okay, fine, He's like I'm serious, Andy. He's

664
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: like Selena Gomez, it's shipping to her. She has to

665
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: wear it next. You can't spill on it. And then

666
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,719
Speaker 1: of course like us Weekly did it, like who were

667
00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: it better? The same dress was one of my favorites

668
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: that before she wore way better. But it was that

669
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: was fun for me. It was like to wear something

670
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: and then see you know what was the dress? It

671
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: was like a black deep plunge and it had a

672
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 1: bunch of like diamond encrusted almost looked like dots, but

673
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 1: it was like spread out diamonds. Ooh, was it a

674
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: Randy rum do you know? Don't think so? For you?

675
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 1: That wasn't okay. Oh my gosh. I want to go

676
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 1: back and look through old photos to see what was

677
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: I want to scroll through it. That is crazy. Do

678
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: you think after going through that entire process, both as

679
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 1: a contestant and then as the lead on the show

680
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 1: that it ultimately changed your approach to dating or how

681
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: you would want to find a partner or find love. Um, yes, no,

682
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: I mean I think it's kind of hard when you're

683
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 1: dating so many people at one time to like really

684
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,240
Speaker 1: like figure out some kind of like life changing things

685
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: to take away for each of those relationships, you know

686
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like, Okay, the guy that you know

687
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,479
Speaker 1: was made it till the fifth round or whatever. There's

688
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 1: not like there was that deep of a relationship to

689
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 1: take that much away. I think I did learn like

690
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 1: everybody is kind of a person and has a life,

691
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,479
Speaker 1: and they're spending time and kind of respecting that time.

692
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: And I remember on The Bachelor, a lot of us

693
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: didn't really feel that like our time was kind of

694
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: being valued and that we weren't being looked at as

695
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 1: like actual human beings that had given up their jobs

696
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 1: and you know, family and friends here. So I think

697
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: it did make me kind of like humanize guys, even

698
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 1: though it was like speed dating. I was like, Okay,

699
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: each one of these guys has an actual life too,

700
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:45,439
Speaker 1: and there's something to each of them, even if it's

701
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 1: like there's still a human being on this earth that

702
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,439
Speaker 1: you can converse with and like, you know, be kind

703
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:54,240
Speaker 1: to and show attention to. Yeah, are you still close

704
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 1: with any of the guys on your season? Say in

705
00:35:56,680 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: touch with them? Chrystols? Yeah? Always. Um Chris Harrison, I

706
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: guess he was on my season. Always. Um, I see

707
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 1: like Nick file in La every once in a while,

708
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: I'd work cool. Oh my god, I keep forgetting he

709
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,919
Speaker 1: was on your season. No, it's so funny. Actually, out

710
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,320
Speaker 1: of dinner last night and Christina Schuman was there and

711
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 1: I was like, well, you want Christ's season or bench?

712
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 1: She was like, I was on NIX. I was like,

00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: that's so Chris. Wait, that was like the first time

714
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,080

715
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 1: he is my neighbor, he lives. I am looking at

716
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 1: my window and I could probably see his house if

717
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: I go to the other end of my window. Okay. Wait.

718
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:35,320
Speaker 1: So with okay, having Andy, you gone going through this

719
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 1: whole bachelor world and everything like that, and then bringing

720
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: somebody into it, even like as you're just starting to date.

721
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 1: Who were like some of the first people that you introduced. Well,

722
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 1: obviously my friend Kelly U. She had like FaceTime with

723
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 1: him and everything. He came blanking to LA and we

724
00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 1: went to a Luke Bryan concert and actually Christina Schuman

725
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 1: came with us, and I like, I randomly kind of

726
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:04,800
Speaker 1: see her and like we'll hang out for like concerts

727
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: and stuff. But she was like the first person I

728
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 1: feel like in Bachel Nation that met him. And then

729
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: super Bowl happened and you guys were there, Like then

730
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 1: it was like the floodgates opened and he met pretty

731
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 1: much everybody from Bachel Nation that lived in La or

732
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: was at the super Bowl. M Oh, that had to

733
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 1: be How did he handle all of that? Was it

734
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 1: too much to take in at first? Or was he

735
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: is he? I mean it seems like he's pretty go

736
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 1: with the flow, yeah, but how did he take that

737
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: all in? Honestly? I think it was like more like

738
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 1: exciting for him to like tell his friends like who

739
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 1: he saw and like how cool is this? Like he

740
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 1: doesn't really care about not that he doesn't care abou

741
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 1: Vachel Nation. He does. I don't want to trolling him,

742
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 1: but he's not in it. He doesn't. He's not like

743
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 1: phased by things, be like, um, the guys from selling

744
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 1: Sunset and he was like oh I've seen that shell,

745
00:37:54,680 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 1: you know. Oh, okay, love that? Has he did he

746
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 1: ever go back and watch any of your season? Or is?

747
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 1: Does he have no interest? He has any interest? And

748
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 1: I don't have any interest in him watching. That would

749
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: be so weird. That would be so weird, like you

750
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: started watching like your current guy's like past you know.

751
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 1: Oh no, don't get me wrong, But if I have

752
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 1: the option for him not to watch it, I'm good

753
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 1: with that. Listen. I hadn't watched Thomas on like three

754
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 1: episodes of Paradise before I got down there, and that

755
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: was enough. I would never want to go back and

756
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,839
Speaker 1: watch a full season of whoever I'm dating on TV?

757
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, okay, So you're and you're close with me

758
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 1: in the sand right? Yeah? Okay for sure? Yeah? Because

759
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,800
Speaker 1: and she, I mean, obviously you got engaged more recently,

760
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 1: but she also just got engaged. So have you guys

761
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,399
Speaker 1: been able to kind of talk about any wedding plans

762
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: or bounce ideas off of much because her fiance is

763
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 1: actually someone that she set me up on a blind

764
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 1: date with in New York? Really shut up? Wait you okay?

765
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,919
Speaker 1: So lovely like it? He was so nice. We didn't

766
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:09,839
Speaker 1: have the chemistry. It was just like a friend thing,

767
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:13,839
Speaker 1: but he was awesome. And then like literally a three

768
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: years actually had it been the way before COVID, like

769
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 1: probably three years four years later. Man is like, you

770
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 1: remember going to guess where I'm dating? And I was like,

771
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: Michael Fogel, how did you know? I said, I just

772
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 1: had a feeling like I always trying of like to you,

773
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,839
Speaker 1: always trying to set him up with somebody. And it's

774
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 1: stunny because I went to brunch with her. Blaine and

775
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,399
Speaker 1: I were down in Newport and I'm sitting there talking

776
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 1: and we like order the food and we sit down

777
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 1: and I hadn't seen her since she got engaged. I

778
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,799
Speaker 1: was just talking and she's like, what is on your hand?

779
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 1: And I hadn't announced it yet, and I was like

780
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 1: surprise talking to Andy. There's no missing that ring. I

781
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know how you expected to get away.

782
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: I was just like standing there like this, Yeah, no,

783
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 1: there's no getting around that baby. If it was if

784
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: it was smallart maybe, but yours maybe. But it's like

785
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 1: you know, like blind people everything. Oh you waited that long?

786
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:12,959
Speaker 1: I think it was like one or two weeks because

787
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,919
Speaker 1: we got engaged for the marathon, and I just wanted

788
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,280
Speaker 1: to like deal with the marathon, and to be honest,

789
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 1: it's funny that people say this that they just wanted

790
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 1: time to kind of enjoy it. I didn't enjoy the

791
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,439
Speaker 1: attention and like everyone being sweet. It was just once

792
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 1: that like got announced, everybody was texting and called congratulations,

793
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 1: and Lynn and I both were like just on the

794
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 1: phone with our friends and family. So it gave it

795
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: a week or two to just enjoy it. And yeah,

796
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:43,360
Speaker 1: the family knew together, but I guess the world didn't.

797
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 1: And that was a whole other level of what a

798
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 1: lot to take it, especially if you're trying to train

799
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 1: and focus on the marathon. I totally understand why you

800
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:53,439
Speaker 1: would have wanted to hold off on the big news,

801
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,320
Speaker 1: because it's a lot. I just like didn't know what

802
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 1: people were going to say. I didn't know if you

803
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: were to finally or like I had been out of

804
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 1: kind of that like happy celebration romance type of announcement

805
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 1: for so long, but it being really good. I was

806
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,720
Speaker 1: like very very overwhelmed, like even emotional about how sweet

807
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 1: everybody was and just like how happy everybody was for me.

808
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:20,400
Speaker 1: I wasn't expecting that. Yeah, yeah, it seems like you

809
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,799
Speaker 1: have so much support behind you, behind you both, which

810
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 1: is very very special. So and if anyone had any

811
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 1: hate to say, there's the age old adage, fuck them.

812
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: You know who cares? Do you have? You guys talked

813
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 1: about if you're gonna do like a longer engagement, if

814
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 1: you're like, are you like, let's yeah, I definitely want

815
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: to get married in Italy like obviously very special to us.

816
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: I love it you like we kindled or really basically

817
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 1: met there. I was trying to maybe do October, but

818
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 1: I don't think that's gonna like this October that's coming up. Yes,

819
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 1: let's go you know what time. I don't know, and

820
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 1: don't quote me on this. I don't know if it's

821
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: fully true, but I was just talking to some of

822
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: our friends on it in San Diego who just actually

823
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 1: got engaged I think in February or March two, and

824
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: they are planning the wedding in April in Italy next year.

825
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: But they said that everything there, it's so much more affordable,

826
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: it's easier to plan weddings like outside of the States.

827
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 1: And because I was actually shockedun I was like, I

828
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 1: thought it would have been the opposite of how much

829
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: how expensive everything was, and to rent at the venues

830
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: just how crazy spending it would be. But they looked

831
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 1: at several different venues and they could get them in

832
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 1: right away. There was really no hold up of like

833
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 1: when they could rent out the space and like how

834
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 1: much it would be. So honestly, I feel like, I mean,

835
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: if that's true, which I don't know if it fully is,

836
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 1: but if it is, you could do it. You can

837
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 1: pull it up at a bunch of venues. Thinking like,

838
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 1: there's no way October. October's kind of the last month

839
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 1: of the year in Italy to get married. The weather

840
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: starts getting cold, obviously, like there's no way with all

841
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 1: the backup from COVID from twenty twenty that got pushed

842
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, and sure enough, there are some things

843
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:09,320
Speaker 1: And I kind of like, now I regret saying that,

844
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,839
Speaker 1: because it's like, all right, let's do it then, um,

845
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,360
Speaker 1: but I think we'll probably wait till the spring. I

846
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 1: just part of me is like wants to actually enjoy it,

847
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 1: you know. I know that sounds crazy as everyone who

848
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 1: just goes wild and it's stressful, but I'm going to

849
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 1: be sad, like when it's over a little bit. Yeah,

850
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 1: and I think I think if we had gotten engaged,

851
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:32,400
Speaker 1: like let's say, you know, January, ten months is a

852
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 1: lot different than we're just now starting to plan it's

853
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 1: five months. It's a lot. I mean, I can't I've

854
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 1: never planned a wedding, so I can't speak from experience,

855
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,400
Speaker 1: but just seeing friends and family do it, it's a

856
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 1: lot to think about. So whenever you are ready to

857
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 1: plan and do it, you will. It will all work

858
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 1: out and happens it as it should so and we're

859
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:56,359
Speaker 1: here to support you a long way. Andy, I feel bad.

860
00:43:56,440 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 1: I haven't even started planning anything. But do you have

861
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 1: a vision of what you would want, like what you

862
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: would want your dress to look like, what you would

863
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 1: want food or cake or anything like that. I the

864
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:09,280
Speaker 1: good thing about Italy is it is a lot easier.

865
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: Like I literally just want everybody to be taken care of.

866
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 1: I want everyone to be fed well, good wine, good pasta.

867
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: I mean with the dress I started looking at so funny,

868
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 1: my mom like sent me an entire word document of

869
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 1: forty five fifty dresses. I'm like, when Blaine asked for

870
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 1: my blessing, I was like Oh my god, you're um.

871
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: But there's so many dress options. Like I, I'm already

872
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 1: overwhelmed with it. I feel like I'm just not there

873
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 1: or just like me. Okay, yeah, that's how I feel like.

874
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 1: That's how i'm too. So you're not one of those

875
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 1: people who just, you know, like plans out there wedding

876
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 1: on Pinterest and they were fifteen like you. No, I'm

877
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:59,760
Speaker 1: not like you. I have no visions for any wedding. Besides,

878
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 1: I want a lot of like burritos there in a

879
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 1: champagne tower. And that's it. Well, we've I think we've

880
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:12,320
Speaker 1: talked about every burrito like a burrito on every episode

881
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:15,839
Speaker 1: since I stually happen again, I will never look at

882
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:19,720
Speaker 1: it the same after you and Nate m so andy.

883
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,880
Speaker 1: I want to know this because you are a New

884
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 1: York Times bestseller and I love your books. I had

885
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 1: such a blast reading them because I could kind of

886
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 1: go back and put myself in your shoes or like

887
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 1: in that mindset. And you know, we all kind of

888
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:36,719
Speaker 1: know more secrets behind the scenes, so we kind of

889
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:38,880
Speaker 1: know how things work. But do you have any plans

890
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 1: to do another I'm going to do a third. I

891
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 1: think i'd already started. It was kind of during COVID

892
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 1: that I had started writing Great Time to Star writing hobnously. Honestly,

893
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 1: I was kind of waiting for an ending. I didn't

894
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 1: know it was going to be this, But I think

895
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 1: this is probably a good ending and probably said way

896
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 1: into some other kind of writing I want to do,

897
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,400
Speaker 1: Like I want to do some fiction. I want to

898
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 1: do something wild. So yeah, last kind of single, no more. Yeah, Okay,

899
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 1: I need to check these out because I think I

900

Speaker 1: like it was less stressful then to go and write

913
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:53,879
Speaker 1: a book because you're still sharing your experiences, You're still

914
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 1: sharing your thoughts, right, You're still putting that story out

915
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 1: there for opinions. Did you feel like really that like

916
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:03,279
Speaker 1: same type of anxiety because your life is still you

917
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 1: know what I mean, being put on a platform. Yeah.

918
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 1: Actually I remember feeling a lot of anxiety about it

919
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:11,279
Speaker 1: because you know, sure it's your story, so there is

920
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 1: kind of this feeling of like this is me. At

921
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:17,400
Speaker 1: least people can hear it directly from me, but people

922
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 1: still will like pick things apart. Like I remember I

923
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 1: think something like someone's apartment and it was like actually

924
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 1: in a joking way, and people will still be like, oh,

925
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 1: she's like a gold digger, or someone's apartment is too small.

926
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:30,279
Speaker 1: Like you know, you say things and suggest and they

927
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:33,320
Speaker 1: will take just one sentence out of that entire and

928
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:35,839
Speaker 1: it's your words, so you kind of have to eat

929
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 1: them and just own it. But I think it does.

930
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:41,800
Speaker 1: I think it's just a good outlet. You're just like,

931
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:43,759
Speaker 1: you know what, this is all of me. You're gonna

932
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 1: judge me anyways, at least judge it kind of from

933
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 1: my own words, right, Yeah, And it's kind of nice

934
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:52,880
Speaker 1: because you can take however long you need to to

935
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,919
Speaker 1: make sure that your full story is like, yeah, I'm sure,

936
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 1: it's like it's like your baby like that. I feel

937
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 1: like writing your own book like that would be more

938
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 1: I think intimate and intense when it's finally released, and

939
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:08,359
Speaker 1: it was like when your show airs, because you don't

940
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 1: know what's going to happen when the season's airing, you

941
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 1: don't know what's going to be edited and like picked

942
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 1: to be shown to the world. So I feel like

943
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:17,800
Speaker 1: when you're actually hands deep in control of that, that

944
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 1: would be I think much more of a scary thing. Yeah,

945
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:23,239
Speaker 1: it's like a blessing and a curse because you get

946
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 1: to have that outlet and say it all. But then

947
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, gosh, now I have nothing to hide

948
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:32,320
Speaker 1: behind you. Oh that wasn't It's all there, Love me

949
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 1: or hate me, take what you want. But it's hard,

950
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:37,920
Speaker 1: like for all of us that everyone essescially like in

951
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 1: social media and stuff like that, that vulnerability can be

952
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 1: really really hard. H totally definitely so okay. Aside from

953
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 1: your future book and this engagement and upcoming wedding plans,

954
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 1: what's next for you? Anything else? You want to share. Well,

955
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 1: I'm moving to South Carolina. You are, you're leaving up

00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 1: still be in La a lot, but you know, it's

00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:22,840
Speaker 1: a big it's a big move. I'm a little m h.

00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 1: I know Blaine and like his friends there, so it's

964
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 1: kind of that starting over. Um, yeah, it'll be bitter sleet.

965
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:39,160
Speaker 1: I'm like happy to do it with him, and you

966
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:42,400
Speaker 1: know for him, like his career is really base there. Um,

967
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 1: but I'll miss it here. I'll come out here a

968
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 1: lot though. So when will you actually move? M this summer? Okay,

969
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 1: well before you leave, we have to get together. We

970
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 1: will do another girl's night for sure, Michelle, you're coming out.

971
00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:59,440
Speaker 1: That's exciting. I had one more question, oh before we

972
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:01,839
Speaker 1: get into our this last question that I want to ask.

973
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:05,240
Speaker 1: So first, do you still keep up with watching the shows?

974
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 1: Are you kind of have you removed yourself and you're

975
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:10,240
Speaker 1: not that involved anymore. I'm just not that involved anymore.

976
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 1: I feel like you could probably attest this too. It

977
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:16,359
Speaker 1: kind of goes in like different ways, Like I don't

978
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 1: know anyone on it. I don't know anyone that knows

979
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:20,759
Speaker 1: anybody on it. I don't even know any of the

980
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 1: producers really anymore. So it just seems like it's kind

981
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:29,399
Speaker 1: of a different it's a different time for me, a shift. Yeah. Yeah,

982
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 1: and especially when you go through it specifically yourself, you know,

983
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 1: you go through all those experiences and if you have

984
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 1: less connections with the people who are then going through

985
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:39,800
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And you could watch it

986
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 1: if you want to yourself, like yelling at the TV

987
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 1: or just like knowing kind of like, oh, this is

988
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:51,279
Speaker 1: the music, this is the limo. You know so much? Right, Yeah,

989
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:55,439
Speaker 1: it's so different once you know. I know you don't

990
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 1: watch it. But I'm sure you've heard the news that

991
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:01,560
Speaker 1: we have dual bad threats this season with Rachel and Gabby.

992
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:04,799
Speaker 1: So do you have any advice? I mean, I think

993
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:08,480
Speaker 1: they're still filming if I'm if my math adds up,

994
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:10,400
Speaker 1: but they will be coming back very very soon, So

995
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 1: do you have any advice for them as they prepare

996
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:17,799
Speaker 1: for their season to finally be aired, tell your your

997
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:25,920
Speaker 1: partner and your family everything before because because yes, that's

998
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 1: a good one. I would say, I mean, as much

999
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:30,799
Speaker 1: as you can, you've got to like kind of stay

1000
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:34,000
Speaker 1: off the internet. Definitely stay out the forums. I remember

1001
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:36,320
Speaker 1: when I did it, the forums were the worst, Like

1002
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 1: people were so so critical and it dampered a little

1003
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 1: bit of like that post show kind of glory cone

1004
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 1: that I was in. So I would say, just just

1005
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:51,440
Speaker 1: as best as you can, like stay away from Hey.

1006
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 1: Just know people are going to come out at you,

1007
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:57,239
Speaker 1: whether it's because they're jealous or because they just don't

1008
00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:00,400
Speaker 1: like you, whatever, that's their problem, not yours. So just

1009
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 1: try and enjoy it, try and to see all the

1010
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:04,239
Speaker 1: fun things that you're getting to do. You're going to

1011
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:07,439
Speaker 1: be exhausted, but it's worth it. It's fun. Like you'll

1012
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:09,600
Speaker 1: look back in five ten years like I am and

1013
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:13,840
Speaker 1: just think that was a really cool thing. Solid advice,

1014
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:17,359
Speaker 1: that's what we're trying to tell Clayton. The most recent

1015
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 1: boucher was don't read all the comments, like stay away

1016
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:25,480
Speaker 1: off first one. By the way, people love to hate

1017
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:27,799
Speaker 1: and that's the thing. It's like, it's not even yeah,

1018
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:31,040
Speaker 1: I don't. I mean, I step trust for the engagement.

1019
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:34,120
Speaker 1: They're like, oh, nightmare proposal, nightmare engagement ringing, and I

1020
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:36,520
Speaker 1: was like, people say this about other people, it was

1021
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:39,840
Speaker 1: about me. I was like, okay, things like yeah, I

1022
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:41,799
Speaker 1: don't know why. I don't know if it like makes

1023
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:44,480
Speaker 1: them feel better for five and a half seconds. It's

1024
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:47,879
Speaker 1: it's bizarre, but but that is solid advice. I can't

1025
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:50,880
Speaker 1: wait to hear how how they are coming from the season.

1026
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:52,719
Speaker 1: But I will make sure if they don't listen to this,

1027
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 1: to share that with them because I fight over them,

1028
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 1: like how many guys are gonna go for the same girl? Oh,

1029
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:00,040
Speaker 1: it'll be so I can't wait to add them to

1030
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:02,000
Speaker 1: the group chat. I always love the moment when we

1031
00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:04,880
Speaker 1: can add the newbie to the group chat. I think

1032
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:10,400
Speaker 1: it's probably so freaking overwhelming and I'm not the new anymore.

1033
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 1: I'm no longer you just like, oh my gosh um.

1034
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:23,319
Speaker 1: I honestly think I felt more like I felt bad

1035
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:26,399
Speaker 1: that I wasn't able to respond more and interact more

1036
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 1: because I was still working full time as a teacher

1037
00:53:29,360 --> 00:53:31,800
Speaker 1: when all that was unfolding, And so I think that

1038
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:34,600
Speaker 1: that was the hardest part. Is I didn't even I

1039
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:38,279
Speaker 1: was just overwhelmed in life as general in general, so

1040
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:41,520
Speaker 1: I just yeah, but it was really nice to know

1041
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 1: that all of these women have been through a similar situation,

1042
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:47,560
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of different areas where you can

1043
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:51,080
Speaker 1: feel like very alone when all this is taking place.

1044
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:53,920
Speaker 1: You know, just when your life starts to change, as

1045
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:56,520
Speaker 1: it does, it's hard because it's you know, not a

1046
00:53:56,560 --> 00:54:04,800
Speaker 1: lot of people experience that. It was helpful. Yeah, for surely. Um, okay, Michelle,

1047
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:08,360
Speaker 1: do you want to explain it, Michelle? Yes, Okay. So

1048
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:11,320
Speaker 1: we play a game all the time, Beck and I

1049
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:13,719
Speaker 1: love love, love love games, and so we are going

1050
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:15,839
Speaker 1: to play a game called this or that, and it's

1051
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:18,839
Speaker 1: going to be a wedding planning addition. So I hope

1052
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 1: you're ready. Um, We're going to give you two options

1053
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:25,320
Speaker 1: related to planning a wedding and you'll respond with your preference.

1054
00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:27,719

1057
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 1: the same day. We're very similar. I'm so I'm excited

1058
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:40,879
Speaker 1: to see what we get to say for these other ones. Okay,

Speaker 1: like not not right, maybe a few months after, because

1092
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:43,520

Speaker 1: have to pick between everybody. Everyone but my friends. Some

1104
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:27,000
Speaker 1: of them are joking around that they're going to show

1105
00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:29,360
Speaker 1: up in matching dresses. Anyways. I can't wait to see

1106
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:31,360
Speaker 1: how it all turns out. That was our last question

1107
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 1: for the game. But whatever you decide, whenever you decide,

1108
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:36,880
Speaker 1: it is going to be beautiful. It's going to be stunning.

1109
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:39,440
Speaker 1: And I'm just so happy for you. I can't wait

1110
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:41,360
Speaker 1: to meet Blaine. I really do want to meet him.

1111
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:44,080
Speaker 1: He sounds like an incredible man. Andy. One more thing

1112
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:47,000
Speaker 1: before we let you go. Every week we share our

1113
00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 1: roast and our thorn, which is basically our best moment

1114
00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:52,760
Speaker 1: of the week and our least favorite or messiest. So

1115
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:55,280
Speaker 1: I'll start it off to make it easy, and I'm

1116
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:59,600
Speaker 1: going to start with my thorn. And honestly, I don't

1117
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 1: even know if I have thorn this week. I'm gonna

1118
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:06,600
Speaker 1: just say I've been traveling out this past week, so

1119
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:10,240
Speaker 1: it's just been I've been very exhausted. But it's a

1120
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:13,600
Speaker 1: good problem to have, and my rose is going to

1121
00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:16,000
Speaker 1: be the fact that I was able to see and

1122
00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:19,120
Speaker 1: surprise my mom and sister for Mother's Day, and it

1123
00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:20,920
Speaker 1: was very fun and very fun to see my niece.

1124
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:23,320
Speaker 1: We were in the midst of potty training, which that

1125
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:25,680
Speaker 1: probably should have been my thorn for the messiest moment,

1126
00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:30,120
Speaker 1: because it's definitely the potty training. What about you, Michelle,

1127
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:34,920
Speaker 1: I would say that my rose would have to be

1128
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:38,640
Speaker 1: that I was able to just spend a ton of

1129
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:43,080
Speaker 1: time this past weekend with friends and family outside because

1130
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:45,880
Speaker 1: the weather is turning over and so it's like that

1131
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:48,560
Speaker 1: lovely feeling of being able to open up your windows

1132
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:50,480
Speaker 1: and air at your house and like springs here and

1133
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:55,320
Speaker 1: the snow is done fingers crossed, hopefully. My thorn would

1134
00:58:55,640 --> 00:59:00,640
Speaker 1: have to be that I overslept my alarms full times

1135
00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:04,120
Speaker 1: this week, which usually never happens um, but it's like

1136
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:06,080
Speaker 1: it's kind of a chaotic way to start the week.

1137
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:11,560
Speaker 1: You know, it's almost summer break. Don't worry, it's almost there.

1138
00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:14,200
Speaker 1: It's almost there. Andy, What about you? What is your rose?

1139
00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 1: And I mean my rose bitter sweet? But coming back

1140
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:20,840
Speaker 1: to la Um and it's gone for like a week

1141
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:22,880
Speaker 1: on the east, so it's it's just nice to like

1142
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:26,200
Speaker 1: be home. I miss Blaine. He's not here right now,

1143
00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:28,360
Speaker 1: but we'll be together soon. But it's nice to me home.

1144
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 1: That's definitely my rose is just a little big cave

1145
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:35,080
Speaker 1: my thorn. Actually having this morning when I lost my

1146
00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:41,040
Speaker 1: Zara receipt for some returns. No, no returns accepted without

1147
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:43,680
Speaker 1: a receipt. I do love Zara, but it is difficult

1148
00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:47,280
Speaker 1: to return some stuff. So it is it is. Andy.

1149
00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:49,760
Speaker 1: I am so happy we had you on. It's been

1150
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:53,320
Speaker 1: way too long. I've already love you, so thank you

Speaker 1: to link up again and m until then, send me

1159

1160
01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:26,200
Speaker 1: into that. Thank you guys for having me. Thanks Andy,

1161
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:34,480
Speaker 1: We'll see you soon. Take care bye. She's an absolute gem.

1162
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:37,160
Speaker 1: When we all get together, you will hit it off

1163
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 1: and love her she's so sweet. She just seems so

1164
01:00:40,320 --> 01:00:45,920
Speaker 1: down to earth, so normal, um and just I don't know.

1165
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:48,160
Speaker 1: I love her yea. And one thing about her too

1166
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:51,080
Speaker 1: that I mean, when you're in person, you'll definitely pick

1167
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:54,600
Speaker 1: up on. But she is also just so confident and

1168
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:58,280
Speaker 1: who she is as a woman, as a person, what

1169
01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:01,880
Speaker 1: she stands for. And I think that that's something it's

1170
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:04,600
Speaker 1: a great aspect that anyone can have in life. But

1171
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:07,120
Speaker 1: it's really empowering to when, like I've only been out

1172
01:01:07,120 --> 01:01:09,760
Speaker 1: with her a handful of times, but she builds people up,

1173
01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:11,840
Speaker 1: she builds women up. She just knows who she is

1174
01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:13,440
Speaker 1: and she owns it. And that's one thing that I

1175
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:16,080
Speaker 1: love most about her. But I'm so glad we had

1176
01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:17,520
Speaker 1: her on. It was good to just catch up and

1177
01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:21,560
Speaker 1: hear more about her, her new relationship and this next

1178
01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:23,520
Speaker 1: chapter in her life. I can't wait to see them

1179
01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:27,040
Speaker 1: with their wedding plans. And I love the fact that right,

1180
01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:29,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I was blinded every time she would lift

1181
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:31,840
Speaker 1: up her left hand, I was like, oh, wow, can

1182
01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:36,960
Speaker 1: we get still shot of this? She's it is. I

1183
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:39,440
Speaker 1: love I love that she's like, oh, no, one was

1184
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:41,240
Speaker 1: going to notice it. When I went out with Amanda,

1185
01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:44,960
Speaker 1: and I was like, there's no hiding that. Honestly, you

1186
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:46,560
Speaker 1: should have left it at home if you didn't want

1187
01:01:46,560 --> 01:01:49,480
Speaker 1: people to say anything, because it's is a big old

1188
01:01:49,600 --> 01:01:54,920
Speaker 1: root that thing. Oh yeah, yeah, it's like the right

1189
01:01:54,920 --> 01:01:56,720
Speaker 1: world of China that people can see from space. That

1190
01:01:56,920 --> 01:02:01,840
Speaker 1: is her ring. Um. But Ane, thank you for joining us,
