Speaker 1: This is the most dramatic podcast ever and iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 1: Chris Harrison and Lauren Zeema coming to you from the
Speaker 1: home office in Austin, Texas. And it has been a huge,
Speaker 1: huge weekend here in Austin. We are saying goodbye to
Speaker 1: house guests who are leaving because they've been in for
Speaker 1: Formula one. The world has come to Austin, Texas, and
Speaker 1: we are now saying goodbye to everybody. It's been such
Speaker 1: a good weekend.
Speaker 2: So both of our first f one experiences. For those
Speaker 2: who might not know Formula one is racing? Does that
Speaker 2: he describe it? I mean, it's it's the.
Speaker 1: It's exactly what it is.
Speaker 2: Okay, I went into a pretty that's all unaware, per usual.
Speaker 2: Did a poll on my Instagram. Is professional racing a sport?
Speaker 2: Seventy percent of people said yes. Thirty percent of people
Speaker 2: said no. Like let me, I mean, listen, we all
Speaker 2: know how I feel about sports. Now I will say
Speaker 2: this is certainly an elevated sporting experience. Lots of ava,
Speaker 2: leble cocktails, lots of available seating. We were in the shade,
Speaker 2: which I'm grateful for. But like, I do think these
Speaker 2: drivers are athletes because they seem to have to really
Speaker 2: work out and it's a very physically demanding situation. Right,
Speaker 2: But the car is also very.
Speaker 1: Involved, right this? Okay, so this is the car your teammates.
Speaker 1: I like that. I love your perspective. I know we're
Speaker 1: not going to dive into sports and get too deep
Speaker 1: in the weeds here, but I love that you your
Speaker 1: thirty thousand foot perspective is great. Like, the car seems
Speaker 1: pretty involved here, it is incredibly evolving.
Speaker 2: Well, some people debate cheerleading. I'm like, there's no question
Speaker 2: for me. Cheerleading's a sport athleticism, dangerous, super physically.
Speaker 1: Easily the most dangerous sport.
Speaker 2: With this, you got a car, and you're paying for
Speaker 2: the car. But then I think maybe the cars your
Speaker 2: teammate people are. You know, you pay a lot for
Speaker 2: really good athletes on your team.
Speaker 1: So I guess it's just say, do you feel about
Speaker 1: jockeys in horse racing? Because the horse power is kind
Speaker 1: of important, the horses, the.
Speaker 2: Horse your teammates. Yes, as we head into the world
Speaker 2: of artificial and intelligence, the car could really become your teammate.
Speaker 2: It could talk right back to you. And so so
Speaker 2: I'm here to say I agree with the seventy percent.
Speaker 2: F one is a sport.
Speaker 1: It is. And look here's here. Because I was a
Speaker 1: sportscaster for a long time and people say, well, bowling
Speaker 1: or golf. I said, look, not all sports are created.
Speaker 2: Is not a sport? Bowling is a game that might
Speaker 2: be a hot take. Bowling's a game.
Speaker 1: Wow, Norm Duke rolling over in his grave. I just
Speaker 1: named a professional bowler. So this it is. It's a
Speaker 1: very interesting debate of what is a sport? Who are athletes?
Speaker 1: And you're right, yeah, Bowling's a game. You and I
Speaker 1: can go do it. I can also go play golf.
Speaker 1: But so we went to F one. And here's the
Speaker 1: cool thing about F one. This is an inn.
Speaker 2: How cute the drivers are.
Speaker 1: How cute the drivers are? This is this was let's
Speaker 1: pause for that a number one.
Speaker 2: Oh, he doesn't want to talk this.
Speaker 1: No, I'm going to say. This absolutely happened in my
Speaker 1: truck on the way to catch our ride to the
Speaker 1: F one, which we'll talk about in a minute. Lauren
Speaker 1: and our other house guests decided to look up on
Speaker 1: rank dot com who the hottest F one drivers are.
Speaker 2: Well, you're me, It's okay, I don't know what ranger
Speaker 2: dot com is that I know. So we looked at
Speaker 2: we googled hottest drivers in Formula one ranked, and what
Speaker 2: comes up is ranker dot com the hottest F one
Speaker 2: driver's rank. So was the best Google of my life.
Speaker 2: Google really delivered exactly what we were looking for, as
Speaker 2: did ranker dot com. Now here's the thing. A lot
Speaker 2: of people, and including our friends who are staying with us,
Speaker 2: I've gotten into F one because of the Netflix show
Speaker 2: Drive to Survive. It's a docuseries following the drivers and
Speaker 2: the teams and all that. I actually haven't watched it yet,
Speaker 2: maybe I will now, Chris, has you loved it?
Speaker 1: I'm obsessed with it. They did such a good job,
Speaker 1: but it's made.
Speaker 2: It like and I will watch it because I love
Speaker 2: sports documentaries. But it's made it kind of explode in
Speaker 2: America in the past couple of years in a way
Speaker 2: it never had before. So I'm kind of talking to
Speaker 2: these other women who are in the car with us,
Speaker 2: our friends who love it. I'm like, well, what got
Speaker 2: you guys so obsessed with it? And I have heard
Speaker 2: from a lot of women it's because the drivers are
Speaker 2: cute and.
Speaker 1: So that they're Italian they're Dutch.
Speaker 2: Speaking foreign languages to us. And I also didn't really realize.
Speaker 2: I think I thought it was all about the cars. No,
Speaker 2: it is about the drivers. You get to F one
Speaker 2: and the drivers pictures are everywhere, and you're kind of,
Speaker 2: you know, like you might be team Mercedes, but you're
Speaker 2: really like team Lewis Hamilton who drives from Mercedes.
Speaker 1: Babe. That was the sexiest that you are dropping.
Speaker 2: Knowledge there for like eight hours.
Speaker 1: But still I like that you pick this up. But
Speaker 1: you're right, Max Verstappen is the hottest driver in the
Speaker 1: world right now.
Speaker 2: I mean talent wise or physically hottest.
Speaker 1: Sorry I met talent wise.
Speaker 2: Okay, because I would say he's pretty cute too.
Speaker 1: I would say he's average in the field of drivers
Speaker 1: as far as looks. You know, he's no LaClair, He's
Speaker 1: no Lewis Hamilton.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I enjoyed it. Look at the end of
Speaker 2: the day, I respect it. I know a lot of
Speaker 2: intelligence and physical labor and money goes into all this.
Speaker 2: But they are just driving around in circles and that's
Speaker 2: what you're watching for two hours.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not as much NASCAR circling, where you know,
Speaker 1: basically NASCAR, you stayed to the left, you get back
Speaker 1: as quick as you can. This is you know, winding
Speaker 1: roads and turns and hills.
Speaker 2: But you can only see so much.
Speaker 1: Here's what I'm.
Speaker 2: I'm becoming a cynic, a skeptic. I don't know the
Speaker 2: perfect word. Maybe I'm a hater. I'm becoming anti big
Speaker 2: live events with tons of people.
Speaker 1: It's so hard justus. We're getting old.
Speaker 2: No, I don't Okay, Well, I guess I would be
Speaker 2: interested to know years ago how many people like went
Speaker 2: to a typical I mean, I don't know. I guess
Speaker 2: concerts have always been big, but for example, at this point,
Speaker 2: concerts tours. Every stop on a tour is so many people,
Speaker 2: and events like this are so many people that it's
Speaker 2: so hard to feel like like up close with the event.
Speaker 2: And then I will also say, now, television production has
Speaker 2: gotten so good that if you're watching this F one
Speaker 2: race from home, they're cutting to a million cameras and
Speaker 2: they're inside the pit, and they've got mics on the
Speaker 2: drivers and the cars, and you're hearing what the drivers
Speaker 2: are saying. The at home experience I think is better.
Speaker 1: There are certain sports that we created here in America
Speaker 1: for and we didn't create all the sports, but for TV.
Speaker 1: They're made for TV football you can see from end
Speaker 1: to end, you can see all the players. But even that,
Speaker 1: HDTV has kind of ruined that experience because I would
Speaker 1: much rather sit at home and watch the Masters or
Speaker 1: watch golf because I can watch every hole instead of
Speaker 1: just one. And you're right when you're at Formula one,
Speaker 1: which is a huge international following, it has for so
Speaker 1: many decades. But when you're there, you're talking about a
Speaker 1: four square mile area that tracks about over three miles,
Speaker 1: so you can't see all three miles clearly, but hundreds
Speaker 1: of thousands of people pack into this huge park to
Speaker 1: watch this.
Speaker 2: Now, I do want to, on the note of all
Speaker 2: those people, give you credit for delivering the classic Bachelor experience.
Speaker 2: When it came to how we arrived and left this race,
Speaker 2: I was spoiled. I am grateful. There were a ton
Speaker 2: of people, and we had heard it was taking three
Speaker 2: hours to get in and out of the track.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 2: So we did get on a helicopter and we flew
Speaker 2: in and out, and Chris Harrison gave me the Bachelor
Speaker 2: experience with the helicopter and it was awesome and it
Speaker 2: was like a five minute helicopter ride, So thank you.
Speaker 1: That was wee.
Speaker 2: I was very spoiled.
Speaker 1: Luckily we have the friends that we were able to
Speaker 1: find a chopper ride in and so we just flew
Speaker 1: right and it was beautiful to fly over Austin and
Speaker 1: into the track and see it from that vantage point
Speaker 1: and also get out. The main thing is getting out
Speaker 1: because when you arrive, everyone kind of arrives at a
Speaker 1: different time. But at sporting events, when it's over, that's
Speaker 1: go time, and so when hundreds of thousands of people
Speaker 1: leave at the same time, it's a nightmare. So we
Speaker 1: did fly out.
Speaker 2: You know who flew out right before us, We saw him,
Speaker 2: Prince Harry. Yeah, and it was.
Speaker 1: Interesting becausead Or a least favorite redhead.
Speaker 2: Oh my god. Well, we were thinking about, like I know,
Speaker 2: we've talked about Harry and Meghan before and we've kind
Speaker 2: of had our we could get into it. We've had
Speaker 2: our varying opinions that my opinion on them has swayed
Speaker 2: back and forth so much over the past couple of years,
Speaker 2: starting with when I went with Entertainment Tonight and I
Speaker 2: covered their wedding. I was in England, in Windsor. They drove,
Speaker 2: they went by me in the carriage in there on
Speaker 2: their wedding day, and it was such a beautiful day.
Speaker 2: I was so happy. Everyone was so happy and excited
Speaker 2: for this new chapter for the royal family and how
Speaker 2: far they fall, and like, it was really interesting because
Speaker 2: Harry literally, you guys, we saw him. He was just
Speaker 2: to I mean, I don't know how many yards away
Speaker 2: from us was he. We saw him getting on the
Speaker 2: hell of that was taking off before us. And I
Speaker 2: think in years past, the people who are near us
Speaker 2: would have been like, oh my god, Prince Harry, we
Speaker 2: love him. Oh my god. People barely even got out
Speaker 2: of their chairs to glance. Nobody cared. And then everyone said,
Speaker 2: oh he annoys me.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, wow, the so let me paint the
Speaker 1: picture for you. There's a couple of tents. There was
Speaker 1: a couple of companies running these choppers and it's like,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a buffet. You're just they're running you
Speaker 1: in and out, just getting people on choppers, getting you
Speaker 1: out and coming back. And so this Mercedes pulled up
Speaker 1: and there's you know, a bunch of us just milling
Speaker 1: around waiting for our turn to kind of get on
Speaker 1: the helicopter and this Mercedes pulls up, tinted windows, not
Speaker 1: much fanfare it. It was the only car that was
Speaker 1: allowed to kind of pull out towards the helicopters. The
Speaker 1: rest of us, you know, lower people. We walked and
Speaker 1: the car opens and it's Prince Harry. And like you said,
Speaker 1: there was one dude holding a beer goes huh Prince Harry,
Speaker 1: and everyone else was like huh. The amount of apathy too.
Speaker 1: Nobody cared at all that Prince Harry was getting out,
Speaker 1: And it was funny because they they were making more
Speaker 1: pomp and circumstance at him. His his security was there,
Speaker 1: and his security.
Speaker 2: Was rushing him, rushing him in and out.
Speaker 1: You know, guarding him and holding like as if someone
Speaker 1: I don't know, someone's going to take a shot at him.
Speaker 1: But it was really funny because.
Speaker 2: I don't want him to mean, I'm sure he has
Speaker 2: real security.
Speaker 1: Nobody could have cared less or cared more, especially.
Speaker 2: With the women. I thought a few years ago, oh yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean people crushed on Prince Harry. It would have been,
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, there.
Speaker 1: He is, and no one even pulled out their phones.
Speaker 1: Now one person took a picture. No one took video,
Speaker 1: and I know they showed him on the telecast, so
Speaker 1: I saw him there. But it was really funny that,
Speaker 1: you know, of all the celebrities there, you know, I know,
Speaker 1: Drew Barrymore was there cold.
Speaker 2: Joe Rogan had gotten on a chopper a few minutes
Speaker 2: before us. Some people were way more excited that Joe.
Speaker 2: They'd seen Joe Rogan.
Speaker 1: You know what's funny too, is when to hear people talk.
Speaker 1: I I love being a fly on the wall when
Speaker 1: people talk about celebrity. He's that. And I'm not friends
Speaker 1: with Joe Rogan, but I know him and I know
Speaker 1: his past, and I know where he comes from, his
Speaker 1: comedic background and how he got to his show, The
Speaker 1: Crazy Show where they ate all the crazy stuff, oh
Speaker 1: fear Fact, deear Factor. And it's funny to be able
Speaker 1: to hear people make up what they think they know
Speaker 1: because so they're they're like, well, yeah, he does his
Speaker 1: podcast now, but he did the fighting thing. The guy's
Speaker 1: like UFC. Yeah, They're like was he a fighter and
Speaker 1: they're like, yeah, yeah, he was a fighter, and they're
Speaker 1: like they come up with this crazy thing about his life.
Speaker 1: Very little of it was true. I wanted to just
Speaker 1: go guys. You know, he was a comedian. He worked
Speaker 1: the comedy store there on Sunset Boulevard. Then he did
Speaker 1: Fear Factor, and it was it was really funny to
Speaker 1: hear people, especially when you know them or you know
Speaker 1: about them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, this is why studies show that people make
Speaker 2: horrible eyewitnesses is very, very wrong most of the time.
Speaker 1: You're right. There was a buzz in the tent that
Speaker 1: Rogan had just come through and got on a chop.
Speaker 2: Well, and you know then, I mean, now I am
Speaker 2: going to get into it with the ladies and I
Speaker 2: were kind of talking about Harry and Meghan. Again. It's
Speaker 2: amazing how much that topic can still kind of fire
Speaker 2: me up because I think now there's a lot of talk,
Speaker 2: you know, the show Suits is crushing it on streaming.
Speaker 2: There's talk about a revival of the show Suits, and
Speaker 2: we were wondering would Meghan come back and do that?
Speaker 2: Would she act again? I think very much potentially yes,
Speaker 2: because what else are they doing And at a certain
Speaker 2: point they're going to need money. I mean, I know
Speaker 2: Bill Simmons, who runs The Ringer, had come out and
Speaker 2: called them grifters and said they just try to get
Speaker 2: stuff for free all the time, which was a pretty
Speaker 2: damning statement. But one of our friends said, or maybe,
Speaker 2: as you said, I don't think she'd do that because
Speaker 2: she's going to think she's above it.
Speaker 1: My take is this, and it is a little bit
Speaker 1: of that. She would love to do it. I bet
Speaker 1: if you asked deep down and she gave an honest answer,
Speaker 1: she would love to come back and do it. She
Speaker 1: won't probably allow herself because she needs to feel like
Speaker 1: she's above it. She needs to be above it and
Speaker 1: this status in life, the where she is now. Look,
Speaker 1: they made it be a step down for her to
Speaker 1: come back and act on an easily little show.
Speaker 2: They made a huge amount of money. I thought, way
Speaker 2: too much money on their Netflix deal for that docuseries
Speaker 2: in terms of what they've actually delivered Netflix, the amount
Speaker 2: of content they've delivered for how much Netflix paid.
Speaker 1: They've delivered them a dumpster fire of debt.
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, then they made way too much
Speaker 2: money on the Spotify deal. Her podcast has now been
Speaker 2: canceled and Spotify way overpaid for that. I know, Harry,
Speaker 2: they got a huge book deal. Harry delivered that book.
Speaker 2: Oh that four hundred page book that I couldn't get through,
Speaker 2: and he's still got two more books left on that deal.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know how much they have
Speaker 2: to spend day and day out for their various expenses,
Speaker 2: but it's just kind of a wild moment of realizing
Speaker 2: again how far they've fallen. And you know, we've talked
Speaker 2: about them on the podcast before. I remember even when
Speaker 2: we watched the docuseriies, there were many moments where I
Speaker 2: related to them. I relate to Harry, and I understand
Speaker 2: and empathize that Harry was born into this a limelight
Speaker 2: like Noah, his mother died tragically. The British media was
Speaker 2: horrible to him. They tapped his phone when he was
Speaker 2: a teenager. I mean, he went through so much. But
Speaker 2: then now there is there are these moments where you're like, like,
Speaker 2: when Harry is you know, I don't know in his
Speaker 2: book and he opens the book by revealing a very
Speaker 2: private moment with his brother and his father that happened
Speaker 2: at his grandfather's funeral, and then that infamous audio where
Speaker 2: he's talking about putting cream on his frost bit.
Speaker 1: And peanuts on is Todder and I rubbed it on
Speaker 1: my Taja and he's.
Speaker 2: Thinking about his mother at the time. I'm just saying facts.
Speaker 2: This is actually what's in the book. If you haven't
Speaker 2: heard it, look up the clips.
Speaker 1: So the problem is we've gotten to a dark place
Speaker 1: there people, not everybody. I'm painting with a broadbrush, but
Speaker 1: a lot of people love the dirt. They want to
Speaker 1: hear the dirt. But when you are the one giving
Speaker 1: all the dirt, you become tainted. When you fire all
Speaker 1: your cannons at once, which Harry and Meghan did. They
Speaker 1: came out firing on all cylinders, just telling everybody everything
Speaker 1: they could and at the same time, and I think
Speaker 1: exaggerating a lot, exaggerating a ton, you know, pretending that
Speaker 1: paparazzi were chasing them, and when kind of like yesterday,
Speaker 1: nobody cared, I know at all.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying the paparazzi have never chased, but I
Speaker 2: think it was exaggerated in the docu series, and we
Speaker 2: saw it firsthand yesterday.
Speaker 1: Nobody cared. There was not the drunk guy with a
Speaker 1: bud like an couldn't even lift up his phone to
Speaker 1: take a picture. But the when you fire all your
Speaker 1: cannons at once like that, people kind of sour on
Speaker 1: you quickly, and that's what's happened with them.
Speaker 2: I think, you know, And it was interesting to hear
Speaker 2: our friends, who two of our friends are in media
Speaker 2: and in the business, two of them are not, but
Speaker 2: to just hear their takes, how they're so over them,
Speaker 2: and how they also were like kind of so grossed
Speaker 2: out by it all, you know. I think at the
Speaker 2: end of the day, what people feel is that Harry
Speaker 2: and Meghan wanted everything the royal family came with. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but then we're annoyed by it, and then I want
Speaker 2: everyone to stop talking about them, but then wanted to
Speaker 2: keep talking about it. It's like, you can't.
Speaker 1: Want the upside, but I want to do it all
Speaker 1: my terms.
Speaker 2: And you can't have it all. You can't have it always.
Speaker 1: And I think that they have also set you know,
Speaker 1: everybody has really soured on them in Hollywood because they
Speaker 1: came in hot with like Tyler Perry and Oprah and
Speaker 1: everybody's backing them and we're going to do this, We're
Speaker 1: going to do this and then we're going to take
Speaker 1: over the world. And as Bill Simmons said, they have
Speaker 1: not performed and they've not delivered because they don't want
Speaker 1: to work. They don't want to do the work. They
Speaker 1: just want to kind of it handed to them and
Speaker 1: get the riches without the spoils, without doing the effort
Speaker 1: and the work. And so this business takes a lot
Speaker 1: of effort, and they're not doing that. So, you know,
Speaker 1: it's funny. You don't hear the Tyler Perry's anymore. You
Speaker 1: don't hear the Oprahs, you don't hear all their big
Speaker 1: celebrity friends defending them and putting them forefront anymore. It's
Speaker 1: just all died away, very very quietly. And then you
Speaker 1: end up on a helipad at F one and Austin.
Speaker 2: I mean, we'll see what happens. I think he was
Speaker 2: there because he was friends with Lewis Hamilton is friends
Speaker 2: with him. And there were, by the way, some people
Speaker 2: who were there. We didn't even get to see our
Speaker 2: dear Caitlin Bristow. We're texting with her whole weekend. There
Speaker 2: are too many people we literally could not physically get.
Speaker 1: Till Ari and Lauren were there, yes, And I was
Speaker 1: texting with him. And the funny thing is he was
Speaker 1: I said, where were you? Because he came in as
Speaker 1: a guest of somebody and so we were in Turn nineteen.
Speaker 1: He was in Turn twelve. Logistically that was probably a
Speaker 1: couple miles away.
Speaker 2: So let me let me ask if this is rude. Huh. Well, sometimes,
Speaker 2: for example, it's hard. It's hard when you like you
Speaker 2: want to see people and you're like you physically can't
Speaker 2: see people. I wanted to see my friend Nicole, she
Speaker 2: was a volunteer at Experience Camps with me. I couldn't
Speaker 2: get to her because also we had no service. I mean,
Speaker 2: there's how many people were.
Speaker 1: There, hundreds of thousands.
Speaker 2: Literally a text wouldn't go through, so you couldn't even communicate.
Speaker 2: But sometimes, like when you and I have gone to
Speaker 2: New York before, I won't post when we're there, in
Speaker 2: part because I don't want people to not know we're
Speaker 2: not in our home. I don't know if we've ever
Speaker 2: talked about this, but you were robbed in Los Angela's Yes,
Speaker 2: and I'm still freaked out by.
Speaker 1: While I was at Pebble Beach playing in the at
Speaker 1: and t pro am, I was robbed.
Speaker 2: You were robbed, and you saw you know, our house
Speaker 2: is broken in.
Speaker 1: I watched it live because I have cameras in my house.
Speaker 1: This and this is when I was a bachelor as well.
Speaker 1: So I had cameras in my house, cameras around my house,
Speaker 1: and I literally, as all my alarms are going off,
Speaker 1: I turned on my video to watch and I saw
Speaker 1: people breaking into my house, walking around my house. I
Speaker 1: was on the phone with the cops while a gang
Speaker 1: was rummaging through my house. It was the weirdest thing
Speaker 1: in the world.
Speaker 2: And they eventually got caught and you had to go
Speaker 2: testify about it.
Speaker 1: I did, and by the way, shout out to the
Speaker 1: Lost Hill Sheriff's Department back in Westlake Village. They did.
Speaker 1: They stayed on the case, and I testified against them
Speaker 1: because I had the best video of they literally stuck
Speaker 1: their faces into cameras in my house. They didn't know
Speaker 1: I had cameras, so they were looking through my drawers
Speaker 1: and stuff and it was great.
Speaker 2: Well anyway, so I never I try to not say
Speaker 2: when we're out of town when we're actually out of town.
Speaker 2: So but sometimes also like if we go to New
Speaker 2: York for something, I don't always posts that were there
Speaker 2: because then unfortunately you get I mean, we have a
Speaker 2: lot of great friends there, and then everybody wants to
Speaker 2: see you and you it's hard to make time. Is
Speaker 2: that rude?
Speaker 1: No, it's no rude. But you know, obviously all our
Speaker 1: friends know that we live here in Austin, so already
Speaker 1: reached out. Caitlyn reached out.
Speaker 2: I wish we could have seen them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's funny. We tried it.
Speaker 2: Just we had people in town. I got a great
Speaker 2: just making excuses for us, but I feel bad and
Speaker 2: I left them and I wanted to see them.
Speaker 1: I got a really funny text message about because obviously
Speaker 1: we we kind of were putting up joking about how
Speaker 1: we wrote in a helicopter taf one yesterday. Do you
Speaker 1: remember Kaylin from Emily Maynard season of the Batch. So
Speaker 1: there was this guy he was painted as the villain.
Speaker 2: Oh oh, the guy you left on the ice? No
Speaker 2: I got the tattoo.
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no though that was that was
Speaker 1: Ali Fedotowski season when we left him on a glacier.
Speaker 1: That was funny and the garden protect my Heart guy.
Speaker 1: But no, So Kaylin came in on Emily's season in
Speaker 1: a helicopter.
Speaker 2: I remember this, he wrote in and he just with
Speaker 2: the clip.
Speaker 1: So night one, everybody arrives. You know, Jeff Holme is
Speaker 1: there he came in on his back to the Future.
Speaker 1: He came in on the skateboard, and but Kaylan rode
Speaker 1: in on a helicopter. Of course, that just made him
Speaker 1: He's that guy, good guy, that guy. So I posted
Speaker 1: that yesterday and I get a text message from Kaylan
Speaker 1: of all people, and he says exactly how I would
Speaker 1: have done it, and I was like, that was so good.
Speaker 1: So Kaylin, thank you for the comedic relief. Brother. That
Speaker 1: was really funny. I love that he is still fully
Speaker 1: on brand.
Speaker 2: Some people are, you know, really bitter and don't like
Speaker 2: the way they were painted on the show. I love
Speaker 2: that he's owning it. Let's get him back on reality TV.
Speaker 2: He's having fun with it.
Speaker 1: Okay. It took me back to that, to that first
Speaker 1: night there in Charlotte, North Carolina with Emily Maynard when
Speaker 1: he wrote in that was so funny and obviously he
Speaker 1: probably didn't come up with that idea at all. I'm
Speaker 1: sure it was obviously us as producers. Well, that was
Speaker 1: our weekend greatly, So congratulations team Red Bull Max for stapping.
Speaker 1: There was controversy when a couple of the guys were disqualified,
Speaker 1: but overall it was a great experience, and it is
Speaker 1: fun when the world comes to Austin and all our
Speaker 1: friends are here because there's parties all week. It's like
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: We were also a little bit of where we weren't
Speaker 2: party poopers, what's the right word. We were invited to
Speaker 2: a couple event of events and we went to some
Speaker 2: and then on Saturday night, we just decided let's stay home,
Speaker 2: opened some great wine. We drank six bottles of wine
Speaker 2: with six people. I think, so we did well.
Speaker 1: Beautiful wines. I barbecued some steaks and look, I didn't put.
Speaker 2: Them up to a Chris Harrison volunteered to cook, and
Speaker 2: we all just stayed in and drank wine. And I
Speaker 2: was so happy with that. Sometimes I gotta say those events,
Speaker 2: some are great, some look great on Instagram, and it's
Speaker 2: not so fun.
Speaker 1: You had a great take last night as we were
Speaker 1: lamenting the fact should we have done this? Because there's
Speaker 1: always buyer's remorse. There's remorse if you go, there's a
Speaker 1: remorse if you don't go. Should I have gone to
Speaker 1: this party? And again you see Instagram, You're like, maybe
Speaker 1: that was fun? Ian Lauren. They went to a different
Speaker 1: party and honestly, they posted about it. It looked like
Speaker 1: my nightmare.
Speaker 2: Well that was like a club set, the club, strobe
Speaker 2: lights going, thousands of people music that I could not
Speaker 2: here or understand.
Speaker 1: That was my nightmare. But you had a good take
Speaker 1: last night when we were like should we have gone
Speaker 1: to this? And you said, I don't remember. You said
Speaker 1: when when these events are contrived like this for something specific,
Speaker 1: they don't often turn out, right.
Speaker 2: I think it's hard. I mean, look, when do we
Speaker 2: all have the most fun? If we're being honest, like
Speaker 2: I think of when events are when parties and that
Speaker 2: stuff is pulled together for an event, it's it's just
Speaker 2: basic social stuff. It's a lot of people who don't
Speaker 2: know each other. You're you're just there trying to look
Speaker 2: good and take a good picture. But you're kind of
Speaker 2: spending the whole night meeting new people and so maybe
Speaker 2: you make a nice connection, but it's a lot of
Speaker 2: small talk. You're not going to remember it as the
Speaker 2: best night of your life.
Speaker 1: Right, you know, it's New Year's so much pressures put it.
Speaker 2: Well, when you're having a party at your if you
Speaker 2: know we're gonna have a Halloween party, When we're having
Speaker 2: a Halloween party at our house. I'm putting a lot
Speaker 2: of effort in. I want it, but we're inviting everybody
Speaker 2: we know we're gonna have fun. Or honestly, even I
Speaker 2: will give a little more credit to like the Oscars
Speaker 2: of the Golden Globes or some of those things. It's
Speaker 2: very much an industry party, so people tend to know
Speaker 2: each other, so that can be a little more fun.
Speaker 2: But something like yeah, a bunch of people coming in
Speaker 2: from out of town to f one. It's a lot
Speaker 2: of meeting new people and you can make new connections.
Speaker 2: But I don't think you're gonna remember it as that
Speaker 2: was one of the best nights ever and you certainly
Speaker 2: wouldn't have enjoyed the EEDM Club music. That's not for you.
Speaker 1: But it was a very sporty sports weekend because you know,
Speaker 1: football is going on, Baseball playoffs are going on at
Speaker 1: Texas Rangers, God bless them. We have Game seven tonight,
Speaker 1: so sorry, we're watching sports again tonight. And there was
Speaker 1: Formula one, so Lauren has really really warn it. You
Speaker 1: have worn it hard. God bless you. You have given
Speaker 1: at the office this week. Wo you deserve a break,
Speaker 1: thank you. Yeah, you're not going to get one. Tonight,
Speaker 1: but you deserve a break.
Speaker 2: Well, let's take a break and then we'll talk about
Speaker 2: a little bit of celebrity news and relationship stuff to
Speaker 2: veer away from the sports.
Speaker 1: So among all the sports this weekend with Formula one football, baseball,
Speaker 1: another little story dropped about Meryl Streep, and this god
Speaker 1: is thinking.
Speaker 2: Okay, the latest celebrity trend in relationships seems to be
Speaker 2: the secret separation. So first, we heard a week or
Speaker 2: so ago about Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith and
Speaker 2: she reveals that they have been secretly separated for years.
Speaker 2: All I hear from all my friends is Jada, can
Speaker 2: you please stop revealing so much? We don't need to
Speaker 2: learn anymore. We don't need to hear any more where
Speaker 2: it's just too much at this point, like we're burnt out.
Speaker 1: I feel like she's going full Megan and Harry it is.
Speaker 1: It's any sympathy empathy we had for Jada is gone.
Speaker 1: She seems to have really worn that out.
Speaker 2: And on the heels of that, now news kind of
Speaker 2: came up out of nowhere that Meryl Streep and her
Speaker 2: husband are secretly separated and have been for six years.
Speaker 2: And this was interesting to me. Because I look as
Speaker 2: a member of the media formerly currently, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I definitely saw that headline and thought, okay, here's what happened.
Speaker 2: In newsrooms, they saw that Jada and Will and the
Speaker 2: secret separation was clicking. So then when this other news
Speaker 2: of Merrill and her husband were secretly separated, all of
Speaker 2: a sudden, it was framed as another secret separation because
Speaker 2: it's like trending and the algorithm's going, and that's what
Speaker 2: you can call it. What we were wondering is is
Speaker 2: a secret separation a thing like if you're a celebrity.
Speaker 2: I don't know that you necessarily have to announce that
Speaker 2: you've broken up. I don't think that you have to
Speaker 2: do that. And I'm not sure a lot of people
Speaker 2: knew Meryl Streep was even married.
Speaker 1: I was to say I thought Meryl had a secret
Speaker 1: marriage because I when when this news came out, I
Speaker 1: had to oh, I had no idea she was married.
Speaker 1: I don't know much about Meryl Streep's for a private
Speaker 1: life or personal life.
Speaker 2: I mean, they've been married.
Speaker 1: She's one of my favorite actresses of all time.
Speaker 2: She's a person who it's like she's married. I knew
Speaker 2: she's married and she has kids. Some of her kids act,
Speaker 2: but her husband isn't someone who would like like, he's
Speaker 2: not super well right. It's kind of an Oprah and
Speaker 2: Sedman situation.
Speaker 1: I think foots. But let's kick over that, ann Hill.
Speaker 1: But it is a I agree with you as someone
Speaker 1: who publicly got divorced and you know, hosted a relationship
Speaker 1: show all about love and got divorced. I kept mine
Speaker 1: a secret for quite some time I was separated, and.
Speaker 2: Wait, I don't even know how that came out. Did
Speaker 2: you announce it or did it get revealed and you
Speaker 2: didn't know it was ring No.
Speaker 1: I released it via We released a statement to People
Speaker 1: magazine and it was oddly enough to bring her back up.
Speaker 1: It was during Emily Maynard season. It all kind of
Speaker 1: happened during the season before, but then it really came
Speaker 1: to be during Emily Maynard season and I was about
Speaker 1: to hit the road for the Exotic Overnights, so I
Speaker 1: took the kids so we could leave the country and
Speaker 1: on a Friday night, we were going to release this statement,
Speaker 1: and as I was kind of heading to the airport,
Speaker 1: I got a call from one of the publicists at
Speaker 1: ABC and they said, we just got a call. This
Speaker 1: is really weird. Are you in your ex getting a divorce?
Speaker 1: I said, well, yes, it's about to come out in
Speaker 1: People magazine and whatever. So we had kept it for
Speaker 1: months and months a total secret.
Speaker 2: Got it. But then you did ultimately release this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but then we did release a statement.
Speaker 2: Okay, now I'm looking up here. Okay, I knew Meryl
Speaker 2: Streep's husband name was Don Gummer. He's a sculptor. So see,
Speaker 2: he's not even in the business. Maybe I'll say it's
Speaker 2: a Dolly Parton and her husband's situation. But I okay,
Speaker 2: so they've been separated for six years, spokesperson says, and
Speaker 2: I just it's also an interesting question of if you've
Speaker 2: been married for a really long time, uh huh, and
Speaker 2: you're done, like there's no hard feelings, but you're separating
Speaker 2: because let's Marylyn Dunn separated six years famous or not?
Speaker 2: Do you have to get divorced or is it like
Speaker 2: just easier to say we're separated, but like, you know,
Speaker 2: legally financially, what do you think.
Speaker 1: Depends on age? I guess depends on where you are
Speaker 1: in your life, Like is Meryl Streep ever going to
Speaker 1: want to date and fall in love again, because then
Speaker 1: if Meryl Streep or whoever seen on the streets of
Speaker 1: New York with somebody else, like, oh, she's cheating. Like
Speaker 1: if I never announced a good point, if I never
Speaker 1: announced my divorce, since people saw us making out together,
Speaker 1: they'd be like, dude, that guy for the Bachelor's cheating
Speaker 1: on his wife.
Speaker 2: And you know what, that's a good point because then
Speaker 2: the public will never believe you were They'll always think
Speaker 2: there was an affair or something, even if you say, wait, no,
Speaker 2: we were separated for six years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you trying to back into it.
Speaker 2: And that's part of what makes the Will and Jada
Speaker 2: thing so confusing, Like I don't even understand it anymore,
Speaker 2: because you know, she talked about how she had what
Speaker 2: was the word indiscretions or I forget. They sort of
Speaker 2: implied that they'd seen other people at different points. I
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 1: How about Hugh Jackman and announcing his divorce.
Speaker 2: That now, that is a I think a full on split,
Speaker 2: and that was very out of nowhere Tomy and I.
Speaker 2: Hugh Jackman, he's like the guy every mom I know
Speaker 2: has a called my mom, Yes, oh so obsessed with
Speaker 2: you Jackman. I mean, now they all think they have
Speaker 2: a shot. I was kind of like Hugh Jackman and
Speaker 2: Sophia Vergara, they're both single now well stunningly very good
Speaker 2: looking coming but it is a I that's my thing.
Speaker 1: I guess to answer your question then would be yes,
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. I think you need to announce it,
Speaker 1: just let it out there, because you want to live
Speaker 1: your life and I wouldn't want to live in secret
Speaker 1: where everybody just assumes we're together and excellent.
Speaker 2: You want it, you want to move on now, speaking
Speaker 2: of living in the public eye, another interesting celebrity relationship revealed.
Speaker 2: Drew bear Moore has revealed that she has been in
Speaker 2: kind of an on off relationship situationship for like three
Speaker 2: and a half years, which is interesting because she's kind
Speaker 2: of talked publicly about not being able to find anyone
Speaker 2: to date and.
Speaker 1: All that met him on Riah the dating app, which.
Speaker 2: Had a real moment. It was a celebrity dating app.
Speaker 2: Well you had to you had to be referred by
Speaker 2: a friend, and it was allegedly this secret Pighan dating app.
Speaker 1: Tenfoil conspiracy theory. Okay, of who this might be because
Speaker 1: we don't know yet. He might be involved in Formula One.
Speaker 1: So this weekend here in Austin, Texas, I'm looking at
Speaker 1: some pictures. Drew Barrymore was here, but she wasn't just
Speaker 1: here like hanging out. She was with Team Red Bull
Speaker 1: and like really entrenched with them. She had a Red
Speaker 1: Bull jersey on. She was in the pits with the
Speaker 1: Red Bull team. She was with the like taking pictures
Speaker 1: with the pit crew and the car. And that's not
Speaker 1: a like. I don't think Drew Barrymore Formula One, team
Speaker 1: Red Bull, what is the connection? There's this is my conspiracy.
Speaker 2: I think, Oh, I think you could be very.
Speaker 1: Might be dating someone from Team Red Bull.
Speaker 2: And it would make sense with what she just said,
Speaker 2: because basically, she came out and said that she was
Speaker 2: inspired to not keep this soweto wraps anymore. She wants
Speaker 2: to be feel more free and not be so scared
Speaker 2: and go more public with this relationship because she saw
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift at all of Travis Kelsey's football games so
Speaker 2: early on. Drew basically said, Taylor's just started dating this guy.
Speaker 2: She's living her life. She's not in hiding. I want
Speaker 2: to do the same. That's interesting.
Speaker 1: When this comes out, just say you heard it here First,
Speaker 1: there's someone in Team Red Bull.
Speaker 2: Do you think it's a driver because Max her stapping is.
Speaker 1: Different cri it wouldn't be Max.
Speaker 2: You know, it's someone I know he has a different girlfriend.
Speaker 2: He's stating a model or yeah. And so she after
Speaker 2: me looking him up on ranker dot com.
Speaker 1: Yes, and they were kissing after the big win yesterday.
Speaker 1: So that's just my total. I have zero evidence or
Speaker 1: science behind this. Just I was putting two and two
Speaker 1: together and I heard this story and the other thing
Speaker 1: that made me think about it when she said she
Speaker 1: was on Riah and that's where they met. I'm like,
Speaker 1: who else would have been on Riyah? A guy that
Speaker 1: was kind of famous, kind of in the world.
Speaker 2: If you hadn't heard of Riyah? Could you didn't have
Speaker 2: to be like a celebrity, You could be just you know, you.
Speaker 1: Were supposed to be someone of somewhat prominence.
Speaker 2: Yes, someone successful in their field, and you had to
Speaker 2: be referred by people to be on the app.
Speaker 1: And that Formula one World is just sexy enough to
Speaker 1: be on Riah. So just food for thought, kids. But
Speaker 1: it is interesting that I understand the pressure of wanting
Speaker 1: to keep things secret. So do you when we started dating.
Speaker 1: We were under wraps for six months before we decided, okay,
Speaker 1: let's do this publicly, because again, you don't want to
Speaker 1: date and break up and date and break up publicly
Speaker 1: because you have to relive it and live it and
Speaker 1: then and then it gets brought up. Our picture is
Speaker 1: in every magazine every time Chris is dating someone new
Speaker 1: that there's the picture of Laura and he was just
Speaker 1: dating her three months ago. And now you have this
Speaker 1: track record and it helps Taylor swift. It's her brand.
Speaker 1: You can write songs about it. Those pictures don't hurt her.
Speaker 1: I don't want to relive every person I've ever dated
Speaker 1: and be seen that much, so I didn't mind flying
Speaker 1: under the radar. My thing with Drew Barrymore that I
Speaker 1: also thought was interesting. Girl, it's been three and a
Speaker 1: half years. So she was saying, I'm excited, I'm inviting
Speaker 1: him to a wedding. We're going to kind of go public. Damn,
Speaker 1: three and a half years.
Speaker 2: A long time.
Speaker 1: That's a long time. It's a long.
Speaker 2: Time to not invite someone just if you're a normal
Speaker 2: person to be like, we've been dating three years and
Speaker 2: I'm just now going to bring them as my date
Speaker 2: to a wedding.
Speaker 1: It makes me question their relationship more than anything.
Speaker 2: It feels I would bring someone to a wedding as
Speaker 2: my date after a matter of months of dating.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and look, if it gets out you and I
Speaker 1: did do that. We were at parties, we were at events,
Speaker 1: not public events. They were things that you and I
Speaker 1: from friends. So look if it had leaked out because
Speaker 1: of that, fine, But you know, never doing something just
Speaker 1: like going to a wedding, something so simple, I'm like, Wow,
Speaker 1: that's who.
Speaker 2: Do you introduce someone to first when you're dating your
Speaker 2: friends or your family friends? Friends? For sure.
Speaker 1: I mean that's what I did with you.
Speaker 2: That's what I think, That's what I've always done. I mean,
Speaker 2: you you want to go out socially and you want
Speaker 2: to know what your friends think. And then when it's
Speaker 2: more serious family. A wedding is interesting because friends and
Speaker 2: family could be there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you just said something very interesting friends, because
Speaker 1: family is more judgmental, judgmental, protective. Just that you know,
Speaker 1: traditionally that's a step meaningful. Yeah, it's that step. Whether
Speaker 1: it is real or not. Maybe it's just made up
Speaker 1: in our minds from Hollywood, all those years of meet
Speaker 1: the parents. It's just there is that proverbial meet the
Speaker 1: parent moment. It's a big deal.
Speaker 2: So how soon is too soon to introduce someone to
Speaker 2: your family or to go very public and have them
Speaker 2: meet all your people in your relationship.
Speaker 1: It depends so many variables, how old you are, what
Speaker 1: stage I mean, it's I thought it honestly at our age.
Speaker 1: I think it's a little more casual and say, your
Speaker 1: parents live in town, you're just together. You know, for
Speaker 1: us our parent it was a bigger deal because our
Speaker 1: parents live out of town. There was a conscious effort
Speaker 1: this is going to happen.
Speaker 2: Now, Yeah, it had to happen when they came into town.
Speaker 2: I do think if you have young kids that something
Speaker 2: to consider, of course.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I also think I've been in relationships before where I
Speaker 2: met someone's family too soon at like and not because
Speaker 2: I wanted to. They wanted to introduce me, and I
Speaker 2: felt like, this is moving too fast and I should
Speaker 2: have spoken up more. And because also when you get
Speaker 2: to know someone's family. I've cautioned my siblings against this.
Speaker 2: It can sometimes accelerate the seriousness or amplify a connection
Speaker 2: you think you have with someone because actually you're connecting
Speaker 2: with their family or I would throw friends into this too,
Speaker 2: like just be aware that you really like the person,
Speaker 2: that you aren't loving their whole world, and that that's
Speaker 2: over inflating how good your relationship is. Does that make sense?
Speaker 1: It does, no, one hundred percent. I've met parents too early,
Speaker 1: and it's whether it was intended or not. It puts
Speaker 1: so much pressure on the relationship. In me, I'm like, damn,
Speaker 1: I know her mom now, Like it's you know, and
Speaker 1: if and then you get the if she's on the
Speaker 1: phone with her mom, she'll put her on speaker on
Speaker 1: with Chris and they're like, Hi, we're not here yet.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well I don't want to be saying hi to mom
Speaker 1: on on the speakerphone yet.
Speaker 2: I know, because it feels so big. It does. But yeah,
Speaker 2: Drew Barrymore, I mean this is their direct quote. I
Speaker 2: invited him to a wedding next weekend and he said, wow,
Speaker 2: after three and a half years, you are going to
Speaker 2: invite me to a wedding. Drew, I side with the guy.
Speaker 2: I think you could have taken him to a wedding sooner.
Speaker 2: I agree.
Speaker 1: It makes me question the relationship more than get excited
Speaker 1: about it. But we will see if it comes to
Speaker 1: bear fruit on the f one side. But it was
Speaker 1: a great weekend. We have a busy couple of weeks
Speaker 1: ahead and I hope everybody is doing good as we
Speaker 1: head into Halloween and this time of year. It has
Speaker 1: been and so good talking to you and LZ. I
Speaker 1: just want to make it public. We are not secretly separated.
Speaker 2: We're secretly on our way to being No, we're publicly
Speaker 2: on our way to being very much together.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're publicly on this path to being married. And
Speaker 1: I couldn't be more excited about it, and I couldn't
Speaker 1: be more excited to talk to all of you each
Speaker 1: and every time we get the opportunity to do this,
Speaker 1: and we will do it again because we have a
Speaker 1: lot more to talk about. Thanks for listening. Follow us
Speaker 1: on Instagram at the most dramatic pod ever and make
Speaker 1: sure to write us a review and leave us five stars.
Speaker 1: I'll talk to you next time.
