  Speaker 4: moments like that, and just the flowers were stunning like
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: that kind of like the ambiance of it all took
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: me back a little bit.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: Obviously.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: The cameras, yeah, it was. It was amazing and a
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: wedding just of course when you're married, I feel like
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: it reminds you of your own nuptiles.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: It was very it was very intimate.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: I'm really glad they had both Teresa and Gary do
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: their own vowels. I agree, because sometimes you go to
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: an event like this and yes, it's really cool and
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: we always have a blast. It's the behind the scenes
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: of like getting together with people. Oftentimes we don't get those,
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: like the intimacy for whatever the event's supposed to be.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: And Gary Trees, I think sharing their own vows last
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: night really felt for me, like it brought me into
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: their story a little bit.
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: More, for sure.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: And also his family, how his family, you know, like
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: the daughters got up and like said a little something
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: and I thought that was so sweet. And then her
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: daughter and then I think his son in law.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so inlaw.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I mean those little moments, I agree, they
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: may get way more special.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: And then was this the first wedding that both your
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: kids have been able to come to?
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: What they think, oh Blakesley is you know she loves
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: to get glammed, like get dressed up. And she borrowed
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: a dress from me that she wore last night, and
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: we bought her new shoes, and you know she's all
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: about that. You know that vibe, the gurly vibe, Max
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: could have cared less.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: So is Max and his dad similar? Very very similar.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: Human I've always said that. So when they were little,
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: Max used to look like me, like I looked like him.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: He looks Everyone came up to him last night was like,
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: you are an exact twin of your dad. But I
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: used to always say he looked like me, and he
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: acted like Ryan. And then she looks like him and
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: acts like me, so like I feel like his. Their
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: personalities are definitely very similar. Okay, introverted like you saw.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: I'm sure you saw. They were both sitting at the
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: table like not on the dance.
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: Like she was on the dancellor with me, hanging out
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: with the girls.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh that's great.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Okay, we have a couple of things to touch on. Yeah. One,
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: I want to clear something up. Okay, you actually about
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: right for me?
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: Yo.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Twitter is buzzing this morning about Ryan.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: No they aren't, Oh I promise about Ryan Sutter.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So the show did him a big diss service
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: last night.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: And I'm gonna show you this clip and then I
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: want you to speak to it because I know exactly
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: what was going on, and I know it's not what
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: it looks like.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: And uh shot up, Oh my gosh, I'm I'm dying.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: What the hell, let me find it real quick.
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: I will.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: No, I haven't seen it, but my so, my my
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: parents and Ryan's parents that we were all on a
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: text chain last night. Yeah, and they all so someone
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: texted and said, I am dying to know what Ryan
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: just said to Trista. Okay, so just from just from
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: my family watching. Okay, so they were like, I'm dying
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: to say what Ryan just said to Trista. It's like
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: got to be something classic Ryan, Like he's great, great
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: sense of humor or whatever, and we're always you know,
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: like personal inside jokes whatever. And I think it was,
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: if I'm correct, he said something like I want to
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: make you you'll be the happiest woman on the planet.
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: And he actually said the second happiest.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Uh see, that's perfect.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: That's really cute.
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: I like, you know, so it was like a personal
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: moment for us.
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: And now they're like trashing him for it.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Not trashing. It's actually really fun.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: I don't think anybody if you read the comments underneath
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: the video that was posted originally, it's all like King Ryan,
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: like King Ryan like nobody is actually, but it is
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: funny because the person that posted didn't know who Ryan was,
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Like some guy at the Golden Wedding just said that's
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: not going to happen to his wife, and then everybody's like,
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: that's not what's what I had to have said something different,
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: And if he did say that, that's still kind of funny,
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: but no, it was I would I wanted to clear
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: it up. So that's really he said the second happiest
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: that's really sweet.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Come on now, okay.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: Also, we have a big day of recording great episodes
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: with some all the most of the people that are
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: here at the wedding. Like you said, it was a
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: great reunion. It was really fun to be with everybody.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: I had a blast all day. We play golf yesterday morning,
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: let all the way up into an evening that at
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: nine o'clock it felt like it was four in the morning.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: To me, it was exhausted, exhausted.
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: I was like, how is it only eighth there?
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's just so tired. Yeah.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Brayden and Christina, Yeah engaged last night.
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: Sure did.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: White had a fairly strong reaction.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: She said that and I don't know necessarily knew this
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: I just assumed it.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: She says, you don't get engaged at somebody else's wedding.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Is that true?
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: So I don't know.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: I mean, it could very well be a role, you know.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: I don't know that you want to take away from
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: any of the light that's shining on the bride and groom,
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: you know.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: So yes, it's also you know, wear white probably right.
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: Exactly exactly.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: You don't want to you don't want to compete or
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: take away from their light. And it's funny because one
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: of the producers was like, hey, guys, this is just
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: there's something really cool that's about to happen, and do
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: you want to be like part of it?
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: And I'm like, oh, sure, whatever, not knowing what it was.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: And then she said that they were that he was
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: going to propose, And I actually, like, my immediate reaction
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: when anything has to do with love is like happiness,
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: Like I just love love.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: I get excited.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: And I didn't think about that, like because at this
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: point in time, it was like kind of more about
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: the party, the reception, like the celebration of it all,
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: and not like sanctity, you know what I mean, the
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: sacredness of the wedding and so when when she said that,
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: I was like, oh, I just got goosebumps just because
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: I love love. And then someone else said, I don't know.
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: If that's really a good thing, if that feels.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: Right, and I was like, whoa, that's so true, Like
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: I really didn't think about it that way, but you
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: are so right, Like I don't know if timing was great.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: Not that I'm not happy for them, but I don't
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: know that it was the right place.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: I'm with you.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: So when Jess called me this morning, I was talking
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: to my to my wife about last night's show. She
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: was kind of running me through what everything was shown
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: on to oh, yeah, I have no.
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: Idea Ryan saying that, you know Ryan Laning and.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Be like yeah, he's this is doomed to fail.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: And she's running me through and she's like she's like,
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: were you there when they got engaged and the same thing,
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: same you know, Preducer had told us like something really
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: cool is going to happen, and then he is really
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: excited at these things and the producers run around and say,
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: oh my gosh, you know, and you get the time,
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: You're like, it's cool they got engaged, and I think
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: you just made a good point at that moment, we
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: didn't really feel like we were at a wedding yet, right,
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: And yes, we knew we're at a wedding, but it
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: was a very like compartmentalized, totally event last night, right,
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: opening like injury way a party there, kind of stationed
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: getting ready. There was a nacho bar that was pretty fantastic,
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: and then that's where that happened, and then we moved
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: on to.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: The wedding portion of the evening.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: Still, you know, I guess timing wise, they probably could
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: have done it better, but there's only so many moments.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if Braden or if.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: The show was like I want you guys to get
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: engaged on television, there's only so many moments that those
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: moments like that that can exist, and last night was
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: definitely one of them. Yeah, right, still feels weird, huh.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: I don't know if I would have done it that way.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: But I also saw like how happy those two people are.
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: They are so really happy, so freaking happy, And.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: I usually like would say, I don't know if they'll
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: make it. I think like just seeing them together last night,
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: like it's it was pretty legit.
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree, I'm really happy for him.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: I so Blakesley had so much fun with girls that
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: she loves, Caitlin especially, She's just just totally looks up
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: to her and Rachel And because I was like, how
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: we like, who did you really love seeing or hanging
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: out with? And she said Christina really and she was
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: so sweet to her on the dance floor, like pulled
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: her aside. They were dancing together and singing together. It
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: was really really cute, and obviously I think she's always
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: like that, Yeah, it seems, but she was on a high,
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: like she was like, I just freaking got engaged, like
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: I'm going to marry the man that I love. So
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: that's kind of where my heart was when I initially
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: heard about it, Like I just I truly do love love,
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: but I maybe it wasn't the right place in time.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: Who cares, it's not like really, it's like their story
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: and whatever it happened. I don't know how Gary and
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: Teresa feel about it, but for me, I'm like, I'm
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: happy that they're happy.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: I think on television it probably felt like it took
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: more away from Gary and Treesa.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: The actually did too.
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: You're right, because they didn't feel that like compartmentalization. It
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: was like kind of like a flow for them and
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: for us it was like, Okay, you have to come here,
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: and this is where you're going to be stationed for
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: the next half an hour. Sure, and and this is
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: like just mingle and chat and like that's when people
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: were just chatting with like reuniting with people.
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: It really at that point.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: I don't think Teresa and Gary were even out there,
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: No they yet?
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: Were they yet?
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: No?
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: I also just kind of accepted when you come to
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: these that it's gonna have to be messy. Like I
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: don't know, maybe I'm like maybe I've like totally switched
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: my wiring my brain to like understand what's normal not right,
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: But like you come to this and like you just
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: walk in knowing something's gonna be messy. It's not going
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: to operate like ninety nine percent of your life outside
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: of you know, these events, right, and you just kind
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: of roll.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's funny you say that, because after the wedding
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: there was a couple a lady in a like a
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: bright green sequin dress or shirt dress something, and I
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: think her husband and they were walking from the like.
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: Where the where the.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: Wedding ceremony took place to that like makeshift reception area
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: with the dan band and the big not beam what
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: do you call the huge camera?
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, do you know what I'm talking about?
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: I don't know, but it's giant, like it's a it's
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: on a it's like on a crane kind of thing,
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: you know, like a massive camera. And they were trying
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: to get around it, and it's moving, and the guys
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: around it are like, oh, be careful, you know, watch out.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: And of course constantly people are telling you, oh be careful,
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: like there's a big hole there because there's microphones and
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: whatever wires everywhere, right, And my thought in that moment
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: seeing these people try to dodge this massive camera was oh,
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: my god, I bet that's what my wedding guests had
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: to deal with, do you know? It was like a
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: little a little look back to my wedding, thinking, I
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: know that people loved being there. We took over a
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: Rancho Mirage, which is now the it's now and so
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: it was all our wedding guests and and so it
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: was all wedding. But there are those little like annoyances
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: that come with a TV wedding when you're a guest
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: and you just want to be there supporting your friend
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: or your family member that are part of my like
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: me and you and all of Bachelor Nation and what
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: we've been through. It's just kind of second age.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you just kind of like or laugh about it. Yeah,
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: like commercial breaks. Did you have commercial breaks during your wedding?
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: Yes, of course no, but we did have commercial breaks.
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: As Ryan reminded me last night, they wanted us to
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: do a live wedding, but we it was kind of
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: like a concession of ours. We didn't want to do
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: a live wedding, so you we filmed it, but they
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: filmed it like what alike, Okay.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, people are I think, but I also think, like
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: last night, the commercial breaks were again probably more distracting
• 15:10
