  Speaker 1: Trista Sutter, and Bob Guinea Here at your Treasure. Um,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: it's a very it's a very exciting weekend. I know
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: we're supposed to do these things to be relatively evergreen,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: but I think we I think we should talk about
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the fact that, you know, it's a very, very very
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: big day on Sunday, a huge day, your birthday, your birthday.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say Mother's Day, but this is amazing.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: You remember my birthday, Trista, because has reminded me. I
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: knew you love me. See I told you I love
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: you so much. It's a holiday for so many people
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: out there, especially any is in my realm. Like, guys,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: it's a very special day. My wife, however, doesn't love
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: that my birthday falls on Mother's Day more often than
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: my mom. My mom loves it. My mom's like, of course,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: you're the finest Mother's Day president anyone could ask for. Oh,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: that's really sweet. She's like, that's still president. Just just
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: don't buy socks. Yes, Oh my gosh, I have a
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: funny socks story. Um. Our first, Ryan and I are
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: first Christmas together, I told him before Christmas that I
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: hated like we talked about what our favorite gifts and
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: our least favorite gifts were, and I told him that
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: my least favorite gifts were socks, like I hated getting
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: socks from Grandma's or moms or dad's or whatever. And
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: so he wrote a poem of course, all about socks
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: and gave me because go figure, Um, I probably have
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: it somewhere. I would not be able to find it
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: right now, but maybe I can read it next time. Um, yeah,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: all about socks. And then he proceeded to gift me
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: like twenty pairs of socks, so and actually have some
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: to this day. I got socks a couple of years
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: ago from Canyon as a gift for something, and it
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: was awesome. One pair had my Stun's face, Kenyon's face
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: all over him. Oh love it, and then the other
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: was my dog Phoebe on her birthday. So I actually,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: that's funny. Maybe we ordered from the same place because
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I got socks for Ryan that had the kids faces
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: on them. Were they like black and it's just they're
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: like face they would have been, but Kenyon decided to
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: get me like a lime green pair with just a face,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: so I would have preferred black. I probably would have
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: gotten more use out of them. I got to wear
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: these one. I'm just wearing the rock, you know that
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: on this party time. So that's party party speaking a
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: party time. We're here for our fourth episode and I
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: feel like today we're gonna kind of talk about the
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: good old days. Obviously we do that every week. Right, Well,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: you got you just said it was your first Your
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: first Christmas was right after you guys got married, right, yeah,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: well right after we got engaged. So we were in
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: what do you call it? Um? I at a rendezvous,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: right they call him rendezvous now um or used to. Yeah,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: maybe maybe they still do. Maybe that's a similarity. Um. Anyway,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: so we were on a rendezvous in Los Angeles. They
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: had rented a house and we hold up and you know,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: cooked food, and actually he gave me a Nintendo like
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: a little handheld Nintendo thing. I can't remember what they're called,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: but um he was like, why did I do this?
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Because I wanted All I wanted to do was playing
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: the game. He's like, can I can? I let's talk
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: in whisper sweet nothing, hurry up, hurry up. So I
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: can actually talk to my fiance. So so that was
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: and then you then a year later was when because
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: wasn't your wedding in December also it was it was
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: a year after. So we had a good year to
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: plan and thankfully had the help of Mindy Weiss, wedding
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: planner and party planner extraordinaire. Like she's pretty, she's pretty
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: famous now. I mean she was back then to me
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: because I was all about the Bridle magazines and I
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: don't even know if people do that anymore, but you
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: used to like get I was so excited to get
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: engaged because then I could finally buy the Bridle magazines
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: and like flip the ro room and tear all pages
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: and you but I think he will just pin on
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Pinterest now, you know, I'm sure I will say this.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Six years ago when Kenyon and I got married, Um,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: she still was doing the ripping the pages out in
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: the whole bit. And she, you know, in fact, you know,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: People Magazine, US Weekly and all that stuff approached us
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: about exclusives and She's like, no, Dride magazine. That's where
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I wanted to be. And that's so that's what we
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: did because you know, I was I was stocked full
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: at that point with the with the US weeklies and
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the People stuff, So I was like, okay, yeah, yeah,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: but it was kind of fun because you know, it's
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: one of those things where doing it that way it
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: was actually kind of great because then everybody picked it up,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: right because it wasn't just one person. Bridal magazine wasn't
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: really on the same you know level, I guess as
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: like a people this weekly. So it was kind of fun.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: But I mean, I think about it like that because
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: it was so two thousand and three. That was the
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: year the year season aired, right, and then that was
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: the season that my season or the year my season
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: aired as well, even though technically I was it was
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: kind of weird the order of operations there, but technically
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: it went, um, Alex Michelle, Uh, then Aaron, then I'm
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: thinking about Andrew, then Andrew, then you then me, right,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: So um, it was really kind of a fun year
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: for me from you know, the fun stuff we got
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: to do too, and then all of two thousan three,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: then my season, my finale airs right before your wedding,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: even though we've been done taping for you know, several
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: months previous to that, since uh, the first week of
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: July or second week of July and UM, so yeah,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: it's kind of fun. But you know, we we we
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: were talking about some different things that we could think
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: about from the year two thousand three, like what does
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: that year bring back? And um. One of the things
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I thought was really interesting was the question of um,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: in three words, what does two thousand three mean to you?
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: And I want to know, describe two thousand three in
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: your three words? Just the sutter. Oh gosh, I mean
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: number one whirlwind because two thousand three was when my
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: episode aired, even though I was engaged, so everyone found
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: out who Ryan was and we started wedding planning. No
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: actually no, so we actually had our wedding in two
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: thousand three. So we started wedding planning in two thousand
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: three when it started airing, because we did a special
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: on ABC and then we had the wedding into in
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: two thousand three. So world, I mean talk about whirlwind.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: You do like of the shows afterwards and back then
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: as was the same for you. It was that meant
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Oprah and Ellen and the Tonight Show and Good Morning
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: America and you know all of those, including all the
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: radio the Ryan Seacrest Show, I was on Gosh, Caroline
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Ray do you remember her her so much? Oh my gosh,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: so fun, the view like all those and then the
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: wedding and um, it was it was one. That's the
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: biggest word obviously was a whirlwind. And then second I
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: would just say happy like I on the show when
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: we when we watched I think it was the very first, no,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: the second episode when we kind of went back through
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: my first episode. Um, I remember me saying, that's so
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: weird to say. I remember me saying, um, I was
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: watching me on TV. So I remember Trista saying, what
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: you know, what I want most is to be in
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: love and and I found it so maybe happy our
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: love love, you know, being I think the better word. Um.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: But that and going back to Oprah, we were on Oprah.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: You might have been on this episode with us, or
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: maybe it was after the show and it was just me,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Ryan and our family, but um, in fact, you might
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: have been on it. And afterwards on the show, she
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: said I would love to do your wedding for you.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Would you consider having it on my show? And I
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: was like, are you kidding? Like no way, Like of
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: course I would die, Like that would be dream come true.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Like over the top dream come true. And so after
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: the show, we went back to her conference room and
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: we met with her EP and her you know, main people.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: So I'm sitting at a conference table cross from Oprah Winfrey,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: like it was. It was not talking about how she
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: wanted to make my wedding like the most special day.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: And I idolized her at this point, like I just
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: she was my inspiration. And and so that happened. And
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: then of course Warner and ABC were like, no way,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: we're giving her to you. We're going to do it
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: on our network and we're going to make a whole
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: thing out of it. So um, you know, of course,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: the rest is history. And however, many million people watched it.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: But um, love was definitely in the air that year. Um,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: and what would be my third one, I you know,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: just a lot of fun. We had so much fun.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: We could finally be together, we could finally you know,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: be out in public. Ryan had to take a leave
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: of absence from the fire department because people were pulling
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: fire alarms to see him. That is illegal, people funny, So, um,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: he had to take a leave of absence. And when
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: he took the leave of absence, we could actually go
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: do you know all the fun stuff? We had a
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: show on the Travel Channel. Um, Like, we did a
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: bunch of really fun stuff that we never thought we
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: would have been able to do. So those are my three.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: We're win, love and fun. I love it. What are yours? Huh?
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: I knew you're going to ask me that somehow. I
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: wonder why before you started talking and you're all sweet
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: nice about it. I was gonna say hot, hot mess,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: but then I thought that's probably not the best place.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Um gosh freaking best mic drop. You know, I would say, um,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: I would say much like your definitely fun. But it
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: was a lot of fun, I mean, um, you know,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: and it was kind of fun for me too because
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: I had just you know, like we had talked about
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: in a previous episode. You know, we we were kind
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: of we were friends with these producers because it was
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: the same production team from year to year, and so
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: it was like, you know, it was almost like I
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: never left, even though you know when I left on
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: your show. When I when I went home on your show,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: I was kind of like, well, that was a really
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: fun experience. But then it just sort of snowballed out
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: of nowhere. I didn't expect it, you know, and started
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: getting I don't think any of us could and started
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: to get the call from the Oprah Show. And I'm like, Manning,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I'm the man on the street, you know, cooking a
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: bunch of bachelor's and I'm like doing all this fun
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: stuff and she I mean literally I get a call
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: every couple of weeks, Hey, open way, don't you come
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: out and do this on the show. I'm like, okay,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: you know, and this is all I'm watching your show
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, you know, I mean, it was kind
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: of funny because I just said so many dumb things
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: and they just seemed to use all of them, all
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: of them always. Bob even lied into this episode. It's like,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: you know, it's it's like you guys are on an
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: exotic dat and somehow I'm there cooking. I mean, I
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: was like I was, you know, I just Bob here
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: with us on our you know, our proposal night. I'm
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: in the background with um. But it got to the
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: point where it was kind of like just so much
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: fun and and it was really humbling. I think I
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: would I would say it was a very humbling year
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: for me in a very nice way. You know, it's
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: a really nice way, um to kind of do something
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: on a whim, and you know, be coming off of
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: a really rough time in my life. To to do
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: something on a whim like that and have people embraced
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: me in such a way it was so nice. And
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: then you know, to really feel like I was a
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: part of something too. I mean I felt like I
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: was a part of your and Ryan's story in such
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: a nice way too, because I mean, America fell in
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: love with you guys, but so did I, you know,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, I love both of you. And it was
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: like there was such a genuine it was such a
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: genuine um thing between you two. It was it was undeniable.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: And I remember I would I would. I would go
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: on shows and people like, come on, you know, tell
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: us to true. That's that's crazy, Like no, it's not.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, yes, it's crazy, absolutely bananas, but this is
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: real and trust me, you know, like I would stake
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: it would be like trust me on this one. This
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: is gonna work, you know, and um boom it came true.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: But you know, it's also one of those things where
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: it was like, you know, all you had to do
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: was was you know, meet you. Of course, but then
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: also once you met Ryan, You're like, it's not instance here,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: bone in this guy's body. This dude is the real deal,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: salt of the earth. It's gonna you know, this is
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: gonna be a spectacular you know, relationship and um. But
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: still yes, when I say I said fun, I said humbling, um.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: And I think I would I think I would say,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: um m hmmm, it would be another good one. Uh,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: maybe you have to think on that third one for
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: a bit. Um. Like I said, hot, hot mess was
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: the was the starter for me. I'm back at this.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: But before I went on your show, I was, you know,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: a touring musician, and I with tour with all these
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: big bands, and I thought I was such a big deal,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, I wasn't you know.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: I decided to give it all up and try to
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: have a business, and and that business did well for
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: a little while until two thousand eight on the markage crisis.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: But you know, that was it was a lot of
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: fun in that regard, and I just sort of was like, man,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I I missed doing the fun, just random stuff I
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: used to do, and then all of a sudden, I'm
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: on your show and I'm dancing a jig and you know,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: talking about Tybo and doing it right. Oh my god,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: that's so funny that you say that because Brian and
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: I went on to do a Billy Blanks video. Oh
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: no way, I don't know that. That's awesome. We were
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: in a Billy Blanks video later on. And I think
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: he was the starter of Tybo, wasn't he? Oh he was?
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: He was my sense say as it were in that
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: years later at the derby and he's like, I apparently
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: said to study the martial arts, you know, so and
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: I mean nothing nothing offensive to those martial artists out
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: there that really do it. But Billy had me believing.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: I really believed that I could get out there and
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: do some stuff. But you know, I think it was
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: just I think, yeah, such a fun centered but yeah,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: I mean it was. It was. It was a crazy ride,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: you know, and it was so much fun. And it was.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: But the Oprah thing, you're right, I mean I remember, Um,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: I remember at you know, her birthday time, fifth birthday. Yeah,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: you went to her birthday party? I was, yes, I
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: was so jealous. I was like, I want to go
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: to that so bad, Bob. I was so and I
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: remember being there, going is this a mistake? It was
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: not a mistake. I went to stand in the in
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: the line to use the one of the bathrooms, and
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: I'm standing there. I don't even know if I've ever
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: told you this story. I'm sure I probably have. I'm
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: standing there and I look and it's Jennifer Aniston and
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Brad Pitt. They were still together to right now. I
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: think you actually did tell me this, because that made
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: me even more jealous. Um, oh my god, I would die.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: I crashed the land right away. So as in standard,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: did you say something to him? No, they said, they said, hey,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: how are you. I'm like, I'm great, and Jen's like,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Jennifer loved, loved, loved your season. I'm like, oh, thank you.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: You know. I'm like, wow. Well, Arnold is walking by.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: He's got a cigar. Oh he was a fan. And
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: so I don't know what came over me, but I
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: go he says that, why did you say that? And
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: he just goes He's like, it's an unlit cigar and
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: he just kind of looked at me like it was
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: so stupid. I don't know. Maybe I had a buzz.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know what, but I'm like, why did I
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: like the second I said, I'm like, what, no, how
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: do Oh my gosh, that is classic yirical. And then
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: of course the moment with Jen and Brad was gone,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: oh yeah over Well thankfully they didn't I don't even
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: know if they heard that embarrassing um. But later in
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: the night, you know, I get to meet Tom Hanks
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: and Tom's like, but Rida, it's Bob. Yes, he's a
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: huge fan, or at least he was in such a nice,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: nice man. And I mean years and years later, this
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: is two or three years ago, I'm still doing stuff
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: for the Today's Show, and he's on with Meryl Streep
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: and a whole crew of people that came on for
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: that movie they recently did. Now, I clearly haven't seen
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: him in years, and I've remained a huge fan and loved,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: just adored him for how he responded to me that night,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: was so inclusive and so kind. And so I see
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: him and I'm on the set waiting to go on
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: my my segments next, and you know, at the time
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: I was I don't even think it was a weekly
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: thing anymore. It was like twice a month or something
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: that I was on, and uh, he comes in a
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: different entrance, like they they bring them all in the back,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: the back entrance, and so I don't even think to
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: go over there and say anything because first of all,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen him since Oprah's birthday, and secondly, you know,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: I just don't feel like, what the hell am I
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: going to say? And he comes walking over as their exiting,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: he comes walking by to say something to I don't
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: remember if it was Hoda or who he was talking to,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: and he goes, well, well, well, my old pal Bob
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: too cool to say Hi. It was old buddy Tom. Hello, No, dude,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: that is crazy. And I was like, I don't want
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: to bother you. I said, I saw you over there,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: and I thought, and I'm like, and I'm the guy
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: that I'm afraid that, you know, I'm going to be,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: you know, just sort of overstepping yeah. And he's like,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: he's like, yeah, it's great to see you, great to
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: see you doing so well, and it was I can't,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: I can't, I can't, I can't. I mean, I don't
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: have some pretty good stories, but those are great stories,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: I will say. Um. One shocking moment for me. I
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: went to the The Golden Globes after party. And I
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: was with manager at the time, and of course there's
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: tons of famous people, including Elton John, which unfortunately wasn't
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: he wasn't so nice to me. But then so I'm
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: standing there and Debor Messing and Will and Grace was
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: one of my favorites at the time. I'm standing there
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: and I was like, do you think I could go
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: say hi to Devor Messing? And he's like, yeah, I'll
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: go for it. So I started turned around and she's
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: looking right at me, and she goes Trista and she
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: throws her hands up in the air and she's like,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: oh my gosh, how are you? Like I was dead.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: I was like, what what's happening? Like someone else named
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Trista that's an actress in his ear? What what what
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: is happening? Um? And then I she ended up introducing
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: me to Megan Malally because she invited me to come
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: to a tape being so I went to a taping
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: met Megan, had such a great time. She had me
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: on her show a couple of times. Oh met her husband,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Like that was one of my like favorite moments. Yeah,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: I mean I was like, oh, I just like the
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: humbling when you said humbling that was humbling, like to think,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: I am just this like small town girl from St. Louis,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Missouri and Indiana, and and had no aspirations to act
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: or anything. But of course I'm a huge fan of
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: movies and television shows and and gosh I looked up
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: to Uh. I just look up to their talents so much.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Another one was um, but anyway, she was amazing. Another
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: one was I did a cameo on? Oh, what was
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: the show that Kimberly Williams Paisley did? Um? It was
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: a sitcom according to Jim. Was she on that one?
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: I think? According to Jim, so I did a cameo
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: on there as myself? And is that? Isn't that what
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: a cameo is? Yes, parallel story to tell when you're done,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: because I came but not as myself. Okay, okay, God, Okay.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Then it wasn't a cameo. So I do a cameo
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: on according to Jim, meet Jim Belushi, which was John Belushi.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: It's John Belushi. No, it's Jim Belushi right, his brother
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: John passed away before that. Yeah, so he's amazing. Anyway,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Kimberly Williams Paisley is there, and we struck up a friendship,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: like she's she's I think you know her too? You
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: did a show with her? Yes? So anyway, yes so
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: we um we She's so sweet and so kind and
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: um and she actually invited me. I don't know if
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: she was dating Brad at the time, because I don't
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: think they were married yet, but she asked me if
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: I would want to be in one of his videos,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: and so I ended up being in. And it was
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: always like a funny dream of mine to be in
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: a music video. I mean, as a dancer. I was like,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: I would love it Janet Jackson or Jero or whatever.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: But Brad Paisley bring it on. It was so much fun.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: I got to act like I was choosing guys. So
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: they lined up the whole band and I went through
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: like all the guys and it showed me kind of
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: dating and they did I t m S, Brad did IM.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: All the guys did I t M S. And it
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: was so fun. So I go through the line and
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Brad's at the end and I'm looking at Brad and
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: then I look down and it's um Jimmy, Uh, little Jimmy.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Do you know who Little Jimmy is? He's like famous
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: country person. He passed away a few years ago, but
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Little Jimmy Dickens is his name if you're in the
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: country world. Brad was a really good friend of his.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: So I get there and he's this old guy with
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: just like I mean, the big old cowboy hat, and
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: I feel like he had rhinestones all over his clothes. Um,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: and I picked a little Jimmy in the end, so
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: it was me and little Jimmy. That was my my
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: ultimate favorite, uh memory from my wedding because not only
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: did um Brad play like that was a huge surprise
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: and I'm I'm a huge fan of his. But my
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: husband took a poem that he had written on our
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: first date, called something about Her, and he had um
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Rick calling who played at our wedding. I know you
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: know who he was because you were on the dance floor.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Um he played. He was the band that played at
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: our wedding. He made the poem into a song and
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: then he recorded it, and then Brad Paisley recorded it.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Um had Something about Her So and actually I think
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: you can still get it on on iTunes. Yeah, I
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: remember that part of your wedding so well. I remember thinking,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: oh my god, because I always I've always loved country music,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: but I grew to love it so much more during
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: that time because my favorite job that I ever got
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: to do as a result of The Bachelor was UM
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: when they brought me in to host the c M
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: A music festival and I didn't six years in a row,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: and I was like, so, I mean, like underneath Tennessee
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Titan Stadium interviewing you know, Carrie Underwood and a little
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: big town you know, Lady A and all the bands,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: and you know, it was just so cool and UM
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: and I really loved it. And then I got to
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: go out on stage and be like ladies and John
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: man Keith that you know, it's just so fun. And
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: I did a couple of those. I have a good
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: story about that, but you should go in. So anyway, yeah,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: I got I got an opportunity to do a cameo
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: during that time as well as UM as not Bob
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: from the Bachelor, but my character's name was also Bob,
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: and strikingly uh similar, learn to me. Okay, you're not
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: playing yourself, but I'm called Bob and it was called
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: I'm with Her. Was a show called I'm with Her
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: and it was UM basically a show that was It
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: was an ABC sitcom, and um, it was just really
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: it was funny. And we were at a class reunion
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: and I come in and I'm like the guy that was,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: you know, the quarterback of the football team and the
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: class president. And I'm like this kind of sounds like me,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: like no, not you, not you. I'm like, oh, okay, okay,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: well I can. I feel like I know this character
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: I can identify, but I will say it's easy to act. Yeah,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: They're really tough for me, but I will tell you
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: that it definitely let me know that I was not
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: not that I ever thought I was, but that I
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: was not cut out for acting because it was one
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: of those things where I was kind of like so
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: self conscious and I have a good story. Sorry for
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: my reaction, but yeah, just so well, it was just
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: one of those things. I remember I did the episode
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: and I was like, I'm sorry, that was horrible, and
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: they were so nice, like, no, it was great. It
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: was it was really, it were really funny. It was great,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, okay, well it's it's the first and
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: last time I'll ever be on one of these shows.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Because I was like, I can't do it. I can't
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: accept myself in this role. And that's why I always
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: I had always been hosting beforehand, and hosting shows I
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: was it was easy because I could be myself. You know,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: I could say something stupid and I didn't have to
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: worry about you know. I would still hit you know,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: a mark or say a line or whatever that I
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: was supposed to say. But I didn't have to be
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: in you know, someone I wasn't. And I remember I was.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: I was asked to do like a serious thing one
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: time and I literally called them back and I'm like,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna do you all a favor and just say
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: no because this is not like I think honestly, I
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: think it was. I think it was just like C
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: S I or something like that. And they wanted me
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: to be like this radio DJ with his huge personality
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: and comes in and like does all this stuff. And
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: I'm like, guys, I really appreciated it, and I think
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: it's so neat and I love the show and I'd
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: love to do it. Uh, I just think it would
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: be it would be really bad, and like, I just
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: don't think it's who I am, you know what. I
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: think that honestly Saying no to things is really important
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: when you get um, when you're the lead and you
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: get asked to do all these millions of things. Saying no,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: I think is a very crucial ability because I feel
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: like so many people, probably even more so these days, um,
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: because I think probably half of them at least go
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: on the show because they want to be Instagram famous
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: and you know, gain followers. Um. But the the ability
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: to actually turn things down is something that I would
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: give people advice to learning how to do or at
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: least really really digging in and figuring out if you
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: want to do it or not. Now, hosting c M
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: A UM the Festival, like that's a no brainer over,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Like all of those things no brainers. We did. Um.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: We were backstage at UM the American Music So we
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: went on there a few times, and I mean we
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: got to meet Willie Nelson, who was amazing. Um uh
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: not Ashley Judd, but her sister. Did you hear what
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: I known? Who I like to hear about the Hall
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: of Fame too, I know, the next day, next day,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: So sad it makes me want to cry right now.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: So let's change topics. Um. But like those kind of
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: things were super easy because as long as they fit
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: in your schedule, then of course go do it. But
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: it's the things that you say no to that I
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: think are really critical into developing like who you are.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: But so we got asked I would love about it because,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: oh my gosh, so embarrassing. So we got asked to
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: do this show called Everwood. I think it was called
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Everwood on the c w M. I feel like in
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: the day it might have been two thousand three or
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: two thousand four, was very early on in our relations ship.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: We both we both go on it, not actors at all,
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: had to be somebody different, or maybe we were playing ourselves.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Actually we were in this coffee shop. You know, they
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: give us lines whatever, they ended up not even using us,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: So you're on the cutting room floor. I'm so sorry
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: we went a different direction. I'm like, we sucked. We're
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: not gonna have a couple madly love in a coffee
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: shop in this episode. We're going to do something different.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: It was both embarrassing and a point that I was
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: like very grateful because we were horrible, and I'm like,
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: if anyone sees this, we're never going to live it down.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Do you know how funny that I love that because
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: you're right though about saying no to stuff, like I
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: I remember saying no to some stuff to a point
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: where I actually, uh, I I lost some representation I
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: had at the time because they were just like really, yeah,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: So I didn't want to be the guy and this
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: is gonna terrible, but I didn't want to be that guy,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: you know, so you know, the Fear Factor would call
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: it me like we're doing celebrity Fear Factor, and I'm like,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: you can do it. Ryan did. I'm like, well, nobody up.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: But Ryan. Ryan was also great like American Ninja Warrior
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff. I'm like, yeah, yeah,
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: I'm not that guy. You totally could have done it.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: I wish you would have. It would have been so
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: much afraid. I was afraid to like eat, you know,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: cow things and stuff like that, and I said no, okay.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: So so I'm it's funny that you're bringing this up
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: because they are airing this right now. Two people have
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: reached out to me saying, oh, I'm at the nail
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: salon and I'm just watching Ryan on Fear Factor right now.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: And this was probably two thousand three, two thousand four
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: as well, and they asked us both and I was like, hell, no,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: no way am I eating anything gross? And of course,
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: so we get there, so it's just Ryan and he
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: ends up winning, which was amazing. But we get right
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: so there's anything I think you said? No? So they
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: came to me and I'm like, wait, I got to
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: go against Ryan in a contest. Been there, done that,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: lost that? All right? So okay, so and yeah, me too.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: I would not want to compete against my husband in anything.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: Um okay. So so we get there and Joe Rogan
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: brings me in. Okay, So all the contestants are there
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: and I'm not a contestant, so I'm like, why is
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: he bringing me in? Okay, fine, I'll just play along.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Um so I'm playing along and he's like, okay, Tristas,
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: so we hear that you didn't want to eat anything,
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: but will you eat five worms for a thousand dollars
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: to your favorite charity? And I was like that's not fair,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: like I have to first of all, they were low balling,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: yet you know they had a big and you're like
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: I literally said to him, I said, why don't you
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: make it five and I'll do it? And he said, nope,
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: We got a thousand for you, and I'm like, this
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: is not fair, like I actually up to because I
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: will look like a total bit if I don't do it.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: So I made him, um he blended up worms for
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: me and I ate blended up worms like a like
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: a smoothie, a worm smoothie, like a worm smoothie. It
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: all it tasted like was dirt. That's all. It tasted
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: like dirt. I just drink a dirt smoothie. I I so,
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: I said, I'm so glad I didn't do that one.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: And then Celebrity bull Riding. I'm like, now, what the
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: hell is that? I've never I don't remember that show.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: They were They were like five, like back to back things.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: I'm like, there was a boxing one, the boxing one.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: I wonder if that was one of them. They didn't
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: call me for that one. They probably knew that I'd
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: be an embarrassment. Um I. But the ones thing called
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: I remember there were several and I'm like mm hmm,
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: like to me, I go, look, guys, I remember saying
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: this to my my Asian at the time. I was like, I, um,
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: I have no problem not being the famous guy, but
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: still like you know, interview with people that are famous
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: and stuff like that. I don't need to be the
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: celebrity bull rider. I'll interview you know, I'd love to
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: do that, but I'm not a bull You didn't want
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: to put celebrity bull rider on your resume. I'm like,
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: I'm not even a celebrity bike rider. Okay, I can't
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: ride a ball And it was just funny though, the
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: point where I was just like, and so I'm like,
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: I want to be the guy interviewing people, but I
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: don't want you know, I'll take those guys, but I
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: don't want to be the guy that has to put
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: myself out there and embarrass myself. It wasn't like I
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: was I thought I was better than anything. It was
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: that I was like, I know that's going to be tragic,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: and you guys just want me on there for comic
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: relief because I'm gonna suck at that. You know. What
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: I do want to do though, what I am dying
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: to do. So we have been on a couple of
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: game shows, one being Lingo where I think, you know,
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: we talked about this with Shandy Um. I think that
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: was on the Game show Network and we did who
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Wants to be a Millionaire when Chris Harrison was hosting
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: It one too so much fun? Oh my god, how
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: much does that get in your head? Standing there with
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: all those people and the lights and the I was
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: so stressed out. I I totally I'm usually fine in
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: front of the cameras, like if I'm playing myself, being myself,
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: I'm asking or answering questions about myself. But I felt
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: the pressure like I did need it horrible, you know,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: we I did pretty bad too. But it was one
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: of those things where I actually knew the right answer
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: for fifty dollars and I figured it out in my
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: head because I finally got the flow of the show.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: Remember how he told you they want you to rationalize
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: this thing outside. Well, I had already used most of
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: my lifelines, and so I'm at this point and I
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: had no lifelines left, and I'm going for fifty grand.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: If I get it wrong, if I'm sorry, if I
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: if I walk away, I walk away with like twenty dollars.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: If I get it right, I get fifty tho. If
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: I get it wrong, I go back down to ten.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, I know the answer on this one,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: and I don't even give you the question if you'd
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: like to try, and yes, I want to know. Yes,
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: of course, here was a question, and because I want
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: to right, this is a good one, and I rationalized
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: it out loud for it. And here's how I got so.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: The question was Ben and Jerry, famous ice cream tours
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: or whatever you call them, have created some of the
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: world's most iconic flavors despite one of them suffering from
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: this ailment. And so right away in my head, I'm like,
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: either he's lactose or he can't smell and taste. You
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: can't taste, right, So up pops my options and my
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: options are the clinical terms for these things. So anasma,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: the next is a nasmia, the next one is a
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: bombs ea, and the third one is blama. And I'm like, yeah,
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: So I start rationalizing at it with my outside voice,
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: and I don't have the ability to use my lifeline anymore,
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: so I go, um, oh, no, I do I have
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: one lifeline left. I'm sorry. I get to bring my
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: friend out of the audience that I brought with me
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: to help me. So I called it my buddy, my
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: buddy Ritchie, who lives there in New York, and he
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: comes out and he's like I got nothing for you. Man.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: I'm like Richie, like help me, help me talk through this.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: And he's like, well, I I mean he's like literally
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: he's like a deer in the headlight, so so unusual
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: for him. So I go, bro, I'm like, come on, help. Yeah,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: he goes, I love Jerry Garcia. That's all I know.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: I love Jerry g So that helps me none. So
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: I go, okay, So I say it out loud to Chris.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: I'm like, here's what I think. You know, Look, I'm
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: going through these things, and obviously there is you know,
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: probably rooted in Latin. And so when I see analysia,
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: I think it's gonna sound terrible. The first four letters, right, A, N,
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: A L. I'm like, oh, stop it. Maybe that's something
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: that has to do with like lactose intolerance. I don't know.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: I'm not a doctor. I was a communication snator in college. Okay, uh,
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: cut me some slack, and I don't even do that
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: well for God's sake. So then the next one I
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: see is a nasmia A N O S and I'm like,
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: nas nah, it's like your nose. I'm like, well, maybe
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: maybe that's like they can't smell and therefore they can't taste.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know the other two. I just kind of
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: rule out right away. So Chris, you know the lights.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: He's okay, you need to make a decision, and I go, okay,
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: here's my decision. I know what the right answer is.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: It's a nasmia. It's be a nasmia. And I know
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: everyone that's playing along at home and follow me along
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: at home. You're gonna make fun of me for walking
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: away right now, but I'm gonna walk away because I'm not.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: It's a charity's money. Sure I want to give him
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: twenty grand, so I'm gonna walk away or whatever the
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: dollar value. I was at, like, I'm gonna give them that,
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: but I know that's the right answer. He's like, you're
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: finally answer, and I'm like, yeah, and I think it's Chris.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: But Chris was a really Chris playing with me. He's playing.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: He's like, are you sure you want to walk? And
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: I'm like, he's not. He's not like winking at me
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: or anything like he doesn't give you anything. He gives
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: me nothing, seriously, So I walk away, and sure enough,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: it was be a nasmia. They couldn't you could have
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: gotten fifty bummer. Oh, I'm so sorry that is such
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: a bummer. I mean, we we had a our last
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: question was like who was recently on the cover of
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: a RP And it was like Gwen stef between Gwen
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: Stefani and an older rapper. I can't remember which one,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: like Dr Dre. I think it was Dr Dre, Yeah,
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: like somebody. Anyway, I ended up guessing Gwen Stefani and
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: um it was it was Dr Dre and I was
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: so mad at myself. Um so we ended up getting
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: the like ten thousand dollars. But but so we I
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: loved that show. But I it drives me nuts when
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: all of the people that are on the show these
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: days get to do family feud over and over and
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: over and exactly, so let's we're we We would freaking
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: crush that game. So maybe it's me versus you, like
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: our family or people. Maybe it's my season versus Andrew
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: sees in. I mean, how much fun would that be
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: if it was O G s So, me and you
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: and Ryan and two other people from our season or
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: producers or whatever, and then Andrew season like or even
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: it would be so much fun, even when they've done
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: the bachelor versus bachelorrettes? Do the first five bachelors versus
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: the first five bachelorty? I mean there's that these are
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: I think they'll see some incredibly intelligent and insightful responses.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: I think so too. That's right, I know. So Hello ABC,
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: Hello ABC, and Steve Harvey Hello, we love you. Okay,
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: So here's our list of some questions that were asked
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: to us that we need to answer. So are you ready,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna run these down. Okay, all right,
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: So I've got one that I think is really funny.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: And um, I've been asked this question so many times
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: that I have this stupid pat answer where someone will say,
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: you know, do ever your google yourself? And I'm like,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: only when my wife set it up? Wait. Let um,
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: so there's a question, but too soon? Is that? Is
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: that too much? Um? So, you know, have you ever
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: Googled yourself? I sure the answer has to be yes,
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: right Anyone that says that, as I think a liar, Yeah,
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: a liar. You have to google yourself, like to know
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: what's going I mean it's not like I do it
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: every day, but I feel like if if, maybe if
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: something is supposed to come out, you know that hasn't
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: come out, like an article or something like that, then
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: maybe I'll google it. But you know, thanks to Google, um,
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: there's a Google Alert that you can sign up your
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: name your family's names, Like I could sign up my
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: kids names and I'll get an alert when any article
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: or my name or their name ever shows up in
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: an article or in any way shape or form, you know,
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: like in the paper locally or whatever. Um. So thanks
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: to Google Alert, you really don't have to Google your
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: name anymore. But you're right, Like, who doesn't google their
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: name or hasn't ever before? Right, Yeah, it's fed to
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: you here. This is all about you, you know, but
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: people are lying. I mean people google people they're going
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: to date and people they work with, and you know,
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: all google people. If I if I met them, and
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: I'm like, how do I know them and what have
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: they done that it should connect me to them because
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: I have a really hard time putting, um like, remembering
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: people if I don't see them in the place that
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: I so, you know, if I want to know more
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: about somebody whom I just met. But yeah, you're right,
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: of course, both of everybody does think you know, as
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: far as favorite celebrities and the most shocking celebrities that
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: you know watch the show. But how about for you
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: as an individual when you're you know, when you're home.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: We were talking about, like, you know what, I was
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: laughing about the fact that a two thousand three I
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: was doing, you know, all this crazy stuff and now
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: in two to I'm you know, listening to you know,
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: watching Mowana three times a week. You know how often, yes,
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: how people think you probably get recognized every day, But
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: how often do you really get recognized? And I bet
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: it's very similar to what happens to me. I'm sure
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: it's very similar. Um, not that often. We live in
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: a very small mountain town veil or near Veille. If
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: there are people here visiting, and I happen to be
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: in Beaver Creek, say, or at a restaurant or you know,
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: but I don't normally go to like the I would say,
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: touristy places that people come here to, you know, to
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: go to or to go see or Yeah. So um
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: at home, and if I'm traveling, it's a different story.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: You know, people do still recognize me. I was at
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: a dance competition and it was so sweet and people
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: are I will say, are still the very very sweet
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: like when they come up there like I just love you,
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: I watched the show with my mom when she was
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: dying in the hospital, or like you know these stories
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: I named my son after Ryan, or my daughter after you,
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: or you know, so people have those kind of stories.
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: But I was recently approached at a dance competition when
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: I was talking to a friend and this lady came
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: up and just said, I just adore you, you know,
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: something sweet like that, and and my friend was like,
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: how often does that happen? Does that still happen to you?
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh gosh, no, I mean, you know,
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: once in a blue moon people do or and they'll say, oh,
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: I follow you on Instagram, how are you? Like, how's
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: your how's Ryan's health doing? You know, I love watching
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: your daughter do the dance competitions like things like that,
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: so they kind of follow along with my life. But
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: once in a blue moon, yeah, I'm sure it's the same. Yeah,
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: I think I think, you know, when I'm like kind
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: of like what you said, When I'm when I'm putting
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: myself out there for something, it's a totally different experience.
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: And everyone has always been incredibly kind over the years,
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: which I think is pretty awesome because I mean, you know,
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: you occasionally have I mean, I've never even really had
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: anyone who's done anything worse than being like, oh I
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: don't watch that stuff. Can I get a picture? That's
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: as bad as it gets. But um, I've always felt
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: like really fortunate in that, you know, people were always
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: so nice to me over the years. But I mean,
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: I guess I probably get more of people will walk
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: up to me and go, how do we know each other?
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: Do I know you? Hye? You know? How do I
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: know you? Did we get to college together? Exactly? I
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: mean I used to. It got to the point where
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: I was getting that one so much that I would go, well, yeah,
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: I was in your English class, Mr Johnson, And they'd
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: be like and then I'd be like, no, that's not
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: you know. But I mean, you know, it was always
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: one of those things where I'd be like, I don't
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: think we know each other. I just have one of
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: those faces, you know, And then about later they'll come
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: up and go, you could have just told me, well, yeah,
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: exactly right, I do. I will because I feel like
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: if they figure it out, they will like be like
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: why didn't you just say something? But I can't think.
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: It depends on the time, So if I'm like in
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: a hurry, then I'll just be like, oh, I'm so sorry,
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure. And if I've got time, I'm like,
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: do you watch the shoe? You know? Did you ever
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: see the Bachelor? The Bachelorette um or it was a
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: long time ago. You probably won't really say that pretty
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: much a daily yeah. So my wife is so anti
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: like she doesn't want to be in photos, so whenever
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: she she just hates it. So like she'll be hones,
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: can I get a picture with you? And she'll always go,
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: I'll take it for you. And they'll say how do
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: I how do I know you? You know? Can I
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: get a picture with you? Or or they'll open but
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: like how do I know you? And if she's not
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: moved for it, because she's busy and she's always really
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: kind about it, but she'll go, um, yeah, he's not
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: gonna tell you he was the bachelor, uh and he
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: was just the season and then he was the bachelor himself,
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe saw him on Oprah or the Today
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: Show And I'll go exactly, and then she'll go, here,
• 45:55
