• 2:12
  Speaker 1: are you most excited for tonight? This is a big
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: deal for us. Well, I think I'm most excited to
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: talk to Crystal because we get basically the first interview
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: that she's done since announcing her pregnancy. She's been so
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: open about on Instagram this week, so I'm excited to
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: talk to her about the timeline. You know, how many
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: months was she dating her boyfriend before she got pregnant? Uh,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: how much of a shock was it? Yeah? What about you?
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: I would say, I mean that's a big deal. Also,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Chris Souls Crystals has been somebody um that we ever
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: got to talk to in a while, right, I mean,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: obviously he's been through a lot of seasons of life recently. Um,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: I think Crystals super intriguing. I think Crystals. I actually
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: think our guest tonight might be the best lineup of
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: guests that we've ever had on a live podcast. I agree.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: J Jarre's here too, So yeah, yes, Now before we
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: do begin, I don't know if you're ready for this,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: but we are. Um. Jessica has spent the afternoon cooking
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: up our favorite turkey recipe and we'd like to show
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: it off because we spent a offenoon doing it. I
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: know this is friends giving. Uh, so do you mind
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: going to the the turkey real quick? And I think I
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: should probably go and show off my cream corn, which
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: is in its last hour of cooking in the crock pot.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: It is truly the easiest. Ye, It's like it's unfair
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: that you had the turkey and that I did something
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: that truly took me five minutes in the pot. It's
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the Yeah, it's the easiest. Do you want to see
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: should I go? I want to bring the whole pot
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: thing over it? All right, it's kind of happy. Yeah, okay, fine,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Jared's gonna bring the pot over. So this is how
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: juicy our turkey is. Now give me a second to
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: explain this. It was so juicy. Yeah, yeah, here, here
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: it is. It's it's it's really big, it's really heavy.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: It looks great. All right, you're good now, are you? Um?
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: It's a butterball turkey, which means that it's really good. Best.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Are you guys going to one save that for Thanksgiving?
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Is it gonna stay fresh for a week or are
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: you gonna like make turkey sandwiches of it all week?
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Are giving? Completely turkeyed out at the end of this?
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: So this is the plant. So because we had friends giving,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: friends giving, and we knew this is a big nine,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: we had a lot of people out there watching. We're
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: really excited about um about just doing this that. Uh,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: we literally made this turkey and then after we started
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: cooking and I was like, Hune, we have another took
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: kirky turkey coming along the way in like a few days.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: So we're gonna cut this thing up. Uh and uh
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: now ashore in the whole thing over. But before your gift,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I do want to add that this turkey is unique
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: and this is a this is a family recipe here.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: So there's things that we've done. Um, we've smoked the
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: turkey in my past, which has been a big deal.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: I'm really a big fan of smoking turkey. Or also
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: we've deep fried turkey. So we get a big deep
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: friar and we deep fried the turkey. Those are two
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: ways that the Higgins family has done this. Tonight, we
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: smoked the turkey. It's fantastic. I'm really proud of my
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: fiance for doing it. Uh. It's really heavy and so hey,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I'll pass it over to you to explain your dish.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: But turkey at least got shown off. This chair is
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: a family. It's a family. It's a token. Okay, So Jared,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: we're gonna pull it. This is us right now. The
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: entire crock pot came over um into my dad's study.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I'll hold this and you can show off
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: the corn, all right. So all you do is put
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: a whole thing of of cream of what was it
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: called cream cheese in here, a stick of butter, three
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: packs of frozen corn, and then I put some um,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: what is it cracker barrel cheddar cheese in here as well,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: and one cup of whole milk, and then you get
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: this cream corn which could use another hour in here
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: to really solidify, but it's really delicious and I've been
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: making it for the past I think this will be
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the fourth Thanksgiving, and his parents love it. They request
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: it now every year, which brings us to our first
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: thank you, Thank you van a white of court cream corn. Yes, um,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: thank you very much, babe. You can. Let's bring us
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: to our first question though from the fans out there,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: it's how are we spending Thanksgiving? Then you go first, yea,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: so are things given? This year is gonna be? This
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: is our first year that we had to really start
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: to decide, like how we're gonna spend the holidays. You know,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: we love our families. Our families are really important to us,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: but we do live in separate areas, and so we
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: have to kind of compromise and balance, which is I
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: would say one of the hardest things as a couple
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: to like, one of the first big hurdles. And so
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: this year we're gonna go uh to spend it with
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: my family, if COVID willing. We're still actually in the
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: midst of trying to figure that out. Uh to Indianapolis, Indiana,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: And we're gonna spend it with my family in Indianapolis. Uh,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: my mom and dad and um and Grandma is gonna
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: be there, with my aunts and uncles and cousins. Gonna
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: be great. Um. But I don't know if anybody out
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: there is watching, I would love to hear from you
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: if you are. But we're just running into it this
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: week where we're realizing that holidays are gonna look a
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: lot different for a lot of people, and that we
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: still don't know if we're gonna be kind of here,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: maybe kind of in quarantine for the holiday, which would
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: be really sad and unfortunate, but it is something that
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: we're having to talk about. We just started talking about today.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Are you guys going to switch off for Christmas? Was
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: that the initial plan? Yeah, we're gonna we're our plan
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: is to go to spend it with her family for Christmas.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: So for us, Jared's parents are coming down here to Virginia.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: We are they're getting tested over the weekend and then
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: they're going to get tested again once they land or
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: a couple of days or yeah, yeah, just about when
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: they land, and then Jared and I flew here yesterday.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: I got tested on Monday, and we are going to
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: get tested again on Monday. So that is how we
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: are doing things around at the ken Nettie Haypen household. Yeah,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: it's a it's a weird time and I don't know
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: it's for us. It got kind of sad today, like
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: I would be, to be honest, like we we're both
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: kind of emotional about the the holiday changes and kind
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: of the I feel like this is the first time
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: since COVID's hit that it's really starting to affect um.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: You know, you can you can miss your family for
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: months and you cannot be around them, and you can
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: skype with them and you can be locked inside and
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: not with them, but when the holidays hit, uh, it
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: starts to get pretty emotional. And I think for us
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: it started really feeling that way today as we started
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: to get emails and UM had to start really considering.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: So outside of that, our plan is to go to Indianapolis,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: have a great time with my family, and then go
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: to Connecticut, uh to celebrate with just his family. Uh
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: for Christmas. Um, Hey, I want to just take a
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: second year. Actually, this other show is gonna work tonight.

• 9:41
  Speaker 1: their favorites of raw that they're gonna be showing off

• 11:29
  Speaker 1: and it is so healthy and delicious and so simple
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: to make. So I'm just gonna I wish I could
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: like hold up my camera and show you guys, but
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: I guess I'll tilt down. It's super simple. We just
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: prepped some arugula in some bowls, diced up to sweet potatoes,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: cooked it for four hundred degrees, got them all roasted
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: with some olive oil, some salt and pepper. So we

  Speaker 1: wait to see souls get in here and like be
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: like I totally forgot to make anything. Well would I
• 12:58

• 13:07
  Speaker 1: time just stuff make it with some love. Wow. Okay,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: speaking of Uh and Crystal, what have your pregnancy cravings been?
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: You know, I had a lot of aversions. I will
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: say my biggest one was, unfortunately, protein shakes and apple
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: cider vinegar, which is synonymous with my name. But now
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: I'm back to craving them. Not episode. I'm creating protein shakes,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: protein smoothies, fresh berries, and I'm creating cheese and dairy,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: which I've never been into before. Like I've never been
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: into it or you've tried not to be into it. No,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: I was always pretty. I was always pretty pretty, vegan,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: very vegetarian. But I'd eat cheese now and then. But
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: I buy the little kid cheese sticks and I still
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: call them all day long with little sliced apples like
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: the little inner child in these kind of got to
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: play and I'm here for it. The this is uh,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: this is a big time in your life, and obviously
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: this is a special holiday for you. I think everybody
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: out there has been super interesting. I know. Actually I've
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: talked about for a few weeks. Now. Can you walk
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: us through, uh, your experience over the last couple of months,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: finding out your pregnant and then now entering into the
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: holidays for the very first time knowing that you have
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: something growing inside of you? Uh, what are the emotions?
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: How are you holding up? Has there been ups and downs? Yeah?
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: I would say that, you know, this year, I think
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: for everyone has been a year you know of a
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: lot of ups and downs. And I know for me,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: it's really made me identify am I in line? Am
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: I'm making choice with the life I really want to live.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Am I making myself proud? And I really planning for
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: a bright future for me and the future I know
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: I deserved and want to I want And it made
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: just gave me a lot of clarity on what was
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: really important for me and for me, like becoming a
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: mom and and being close with my family. Um, is
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: just something so dear to my heart. So we're so excited.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm pregnant and having a baby. It's
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: blows my mind. I just went to my ultrasound on
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: a couple of days ago and got to see the
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: baby moving inside me, like moving, like kicking and thumb
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: to the face. And I just are feeling little kicks
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: in my belly this week, which I was thought it
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: was like just kind of gas bubbles, but they've been
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: confirmed as kicks, and it's wild. And you know, coom
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: and say, there's this really special bond with baby, like
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: in your belly when you can feel it and no
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: one else knows. It's this little sacred experience. So I
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: feel so blessed to have Miles as a partner, for
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: our families to be so excited, so supportive, and we
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: just couldn't be more excited. So last month you announced
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: your relationship with Miles. How long have you guys been dating?
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Do you mind? Do you mind us asking we met?
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: We've been dating since since May? Okay, and then you
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: found out you're pregnant early August mid How did he
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: How did he feel about baby coming so soon into
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: a relationship, well both of us. It's so funny because
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: the week before we found out we were pregnant, we
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: were really made some big strides for our plans together
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: in our future and kids with something always talked about
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: up from the very very beginning, because I was Miles
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: knowing where I was in my life and I was
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: ready to start a family in a near future, and
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: I needed to make sure that he was really in
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: alignment with that in order for us to really move forward.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: So we had that conversation, like early, Miles was suchless.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: I think we both were um because we were just
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: like whoa. But ultimately we just felt really blessed that
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: this was a gift for us to come together. It
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: was something that we had been asking for. I had
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: been praying about. I knew that this was my year
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: to start a family, and sometimes things happen a little
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: sooner than you expect, but like there's a bigger plan
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: for us, and we just came into faith and trust
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: and that was a huge thing for me to get
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: out of this whole experience. It's men, who I am,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: how I'm showing up for myself might be business, my family,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: my friends, my clients. Am I being the role model
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: I want to be for my child, and so it's
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: been so cool to grow in that aspect. And I've
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: never felt such a a passion and a purpose to
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: show up um day to day. It's really beautiful. So
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: when people are like, it's changed you and you just
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: don't know until you go through it, I'm going through
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: it and I'm I'm really like awakening to this whole
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: new side of me, which is it's so beautiful. Really,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: that's awesome. I know that you had a lot of
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: morning sickness, you had a rough first crime master. Did
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: you feel like this during it or you coming to
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: that awakening now that you're starting to feel better. I
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: did not have this awakening, Okay, no, I being opposite. Honestly,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: I wrote a post this a few days ago when
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: I was in a dark, bad play because I could
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: barely leave my house. I couldn't want to block water
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: made me throw up water. So that was really tough
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: mentally because I've always been an athletic person, very much
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: into my morning early routines, into my working out, into
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: my intermittent fasting and smoothies and bone broth fast whatever.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: So losing that not how I had clung so long
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: to of who I was, based on my routines, on
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: kind of how I performed my days. Was really difficult
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: because I could only lay in bed and watch Homeland,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: which turns out commodies are actually the answer to my ladies,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: not drama, not you need to laugh. Um. So since
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: I've been feeling better. Um, but ultimately, when I was
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: feeling like that, I just kind of had to make
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: a choice like this is really tough, but it's also
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: a blessing and I need to show up and become
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: more mentally stronger than I've ever had before. So it
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: was a huge moment for me. Actually was my mom
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: telling me that I needed What did she say, She's
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: gonna start crying. But there was a conversation with my
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: mom where I was like, I can't keep thinking, I
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: can't keep laying in bed feeling sorry for myself. I
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: need to get up and and change my ways and
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: be grateful for this. So I really dug in deep
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: into my strength and really pulled myself up and said,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: this is going to be the best thing that ever
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: ever happened to me, and it is that is awesome. Um.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: I do have one more question. Ben I know I
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: want to get to your question, but I'm dying to
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: know how you met Miles. So Miles and I met.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: I actually knew his mom, him and I or his
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: mom and I had gone on a retreat the previous
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: year and we're like a spirituality personal development retreat and
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: we were um, we were accountability partners. I knew Katie.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: I loved her. I vibed so much with her and
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: my we knew each other for a mutual friend who
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: was my high performance coach and my coach, Carrie Smith
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: with the Awakening trainings. She came over and she's like,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: I have the perfect guide for you. It's Katie's son.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: And I was like, Katie and I are friends, I
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: can't date her son. And she just kind of really
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: encouraged it for weeks and I was like, I'm not dating.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: I'm just doing my thing. And finally I was just
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: curious because Carrie was so adamant about connecting us, and
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: when we met, I just knew why she was so
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: certain of us being a great match for each other. Well, Christine,

• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, The Wells Cast is my weekly podcast today
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: with My Heart and the Bait. The kind of the
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: idea for it is origin stories. I'm kind of fascinated
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: with how really successful people became successful. Um. So we
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: talked to actors, we talked to musicians, we talked to
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: reality TV idiots, um, everyone in between. And I'm not
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: so interested in you know, uh, what you're doing now
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: that you have the blue check mark. I'm more interested
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: in how you got that blue check mark and finding
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: out what the blueprint was for you to become successful.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: And it's really interesting to find out how these these artists,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: these musicians, these actors, these really famous people you know,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: worked and hustled and grinded and did all they can
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: do to get to where they are and it's really inspiring.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: It's a cool podcast, and so if you're interested in
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, go listen to it. Well, if
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: there's one episode of the podcast that somebody who's never
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: into your podcast before should listen to to hook them,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: what would it be. I mean, the first one is
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: really funny how this all came about. I had this
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: idea for for origin stories, and the first one we
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: were doing at the I Heart Fest. Uh god, I
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: guess it was two years ago, back when things were
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: kind of normal and we had Derek and Dean and
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Jared on and I had Jared. That was like the
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: air podcast has ever done. It was so much funks.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Like I came in the room, we were all a
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: little hungover, and I said, hey, guys, I've got this idea.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: I just want to find out what were all the
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: things you did before you got on the show, and
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: so it turned into this episode of everyone talking about
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: their rap sheets, like how everyone had gotten arrested at
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: some point or like pulled over and troumble with the law.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Of course, Dean had like the most elaborate crazy story. Um,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: that one's really funny. But they're all really good. It's
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: it's it's so uh my guests are so kind of
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: like all over the place that I would I would

• 25:30
  Speaker 1: I don't care either way. Well, we all care about food.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: So what did you make tonight? Well, I'm gonna make
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: it for you right now. So, um, I do my
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Cooking Wells segment on my Instagram a lot, and it's
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: it's very popular. Um and so I've been making a
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: lot of poached eggs recently. Um and so everyone has
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: been asking for how to make poached eggs. I thought
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: I would do my avocado toast with a poach egg
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: on top. Um. And So here's the thing I'm letna
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: show you guys. Okay, so I got some water boiling
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: in a spot, right. First trick is get your water
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: up to about the rivets right here. Okay, so halfway.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: The most important thing for a poached egg is you
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: need to start with vinegar. You cannot poaching egg without vinegar.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: And this is how I was taught on the Food
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Network of how to measure this cooks in America. Yes
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: that I won, by the way. Uh So it's like
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: it's like, but that's how much you want to put
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: in it? Maybe a do? Okay, So you got the
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: vinegar in there. This that's well, like keeps the eggs together. Right,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Let's see if I can do this well. Is the
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: water boiling at this point? Yeah? So I had the
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: water bowling already, but you can put it in beforehand
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: and start the boil, it doesn't really matter, okay, um,
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: and then you just want to crack the eggs, make
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: sure you don't break the yolk, and throw them in there.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: I do too, And this, by the way, it's like
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: my favorite thing to make I don't know every morning,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: mainly because the lawn does it a lot. And now
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: he thinks he's super cool and I have to beat
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: him at it, of course with the break and yoke challenge.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: I feel like this is the kind of egg that
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: your average person doesn't know how to make at home,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: so great a job for doing this. It's like everyone's
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: very um scared to do it, and they shouldn't because
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: it's actually the easiest way and it's also the healthy way,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: healthiest way because there's no oil, there's no butter that
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: we're doing. Okay, So then what I did is I
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: toasted up some bread. Okay, Now here's the secret. I mean,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: if you don't like garlic, then don't do this. But
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: don't like garlic exactly, it's crazy talk. So what the
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: secret to this is? You get your toasted bread and
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: you take a rock clove of garlic and you actually
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: rub it on. And what's crazy is that hotbread will
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: actually melt the garlics. It's already melted in half. Do
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: both sides, so really get some good garlic on that. Right,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna this is gonna be almost gone. It's almost gone, right,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: And then I don't know, I'm gonna do two different ones. Okay,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna do a like a traditional and I'm gonna
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: do like a spicy one. So like whatever you guys
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: are into, I like mayo on my avocado toast. Some
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: people don't, but those people are people are still polarized,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: polarized when it comes to Mayo, and I will never
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: understand why somebody wouldn't like Mayo. It's the greatest condimental.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: What's your opinion on Mayo? Well, I was gonna agree
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: with you guys until Wilson it's the greatest condiment. I
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: think horse shradish is the greatest condiment. But that's my
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: own opinion. That's what a lawn thinks is the greatest condiment.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Where is the lawn? Well, this is what you need? Um, Yeah,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: But I feel like there's Mayo or Mayo additives in
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: horse radish, Like I feel like horse radish is just
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: like spicy mayo. You're crazy. Horse radish is literally horse
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: shradish in vinegar um. But there's no there's no like
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: egg yolks in it. Nope, spicy mayo is probably my
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: favorite condiment. Here's a question for you all, as as
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: well as continues here for him out there watching. There's
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: about a year ago and before Covid Wells and I
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: am Alan, who was a producer on the show for
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: a long time, considered starting a company that I still
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: would like uh to to start uh and it was
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: gonna be a horse radish company. Is actually gonna be
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: a condiment company. Would anybody be interested if we started
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: a condiment company focusing on really good horse radish? If so,
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: please write your response now. It might help us set
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: up for a better and brighter future. I thought we
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: were doing a condom company. That's interesting. I didn't be
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: good questions. Feisty condoms was not a part of that
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: conversation that changes everything all right? By by now my
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: eggs should be done. Okay, so slotted spoon and then
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: fish him out. I've never done this while holding. They
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: need a little bit more time. Okay, Well, hey, Wells,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: A couple of questions is, as you're efforts. Of our
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: two questions that from the audience, one is how are
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: you and Sarah's celebrating Thanksgiving? Is the first, Well, we
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: were going to have our friends over. We've got kind
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: of a little bit of a quarantine crew. Um, but
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: now since everything's kind of shutting down again, we think
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: we're just gonna do just like her brother, um and
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: my brother and keep it really kind of kind of chill. Yeah. Yeah,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know family there. That's good. The second question
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: we have is who do you think will be married next?
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: From the franchise. Um, I'd say they're better me. Oh
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: that there's Jojo and Jordan's too. Oh yeah yeah, and
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: they were supposed to get married. They were like the
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: same with us, like they were supposed to get married
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: and then the shutdown happened. Yeah yeah, so yeah, the
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: three of those them. Yeah, that's a good one. Okay,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: So I got my poached eggs out. But here's the trick.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: They're wet, right, so you need to put them on
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: on a paper towel to kind of like drain a
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: little bit, right, and they can sit for a bit.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Here's another trick. By the way, this is the one
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: that I did learn on Food Network that I absolutely love.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: You can cook like a bunch of of of poached eggs,
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: and then you can throw them in an ice bath
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: to stop the cooking. Like right when you're done, you
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: can put them in the refrigerator cold, and then like
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: a couple of hours later, you can heat heat water
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: up to like h like a little bit of a
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: boil um and you can throw them back in for
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: like five seconds and then boom their perfect first and
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: eggs benedict and you didn't have to like do it
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: all at the same time, so they're solidifies and then
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: it liquidizes again, yeah, because you're only cooking at to
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: like a certain point. And then um, and then you
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: can kind of heat it back up. All right, So
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: here we go. I got my two these are these
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: are getting ready? I told you, well, I like onions.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw on some. I did some. I spread
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: on it on the top of these. Okay, Um, can
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: you see it? Yeah, it's beautiful. And then smell absolutely
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: awful or garlic and onions. Poor Sarah, that's hey, but
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: she loves it too, so it's perfect. Gas Bill feed
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: it together. You'll never be able to tell. Yeah. And
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: then I did somehow paint your slice really really thin. Okay,
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: this has been my spicy one. Um, and then I'm
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: gonna go get my eggs please, They're now drained and perfect.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: All right, here we go. I never knew how to
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: make poached eggs. This is a big deal for me tonight. Yeah, okay,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: so we'll do this one on top of the spicy one,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: and this one on top of the regulan one. And
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: then so here's what I like to do. Hold on
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: a season the eggs can guys see it. Yeah, okay,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: you got a season eggs with some pepper. Right. This
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: looks like something you'd order for brunch out at a restaurant.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: This is a little salt, and then you need to
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: poor since you cook this with no with no fat
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: on it, you gotta put a little bit of oil
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: on it on top. And then this is my spicy one.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like it's a Mexican flavor. Or I'm
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: gonna kind of garnish it with some cilantro and then
• 33:26

  Speaker 1: dot com. Does that sound good? Okay? So the first
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: one is called the First Impression Rose uh. And so
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: what we're gonna do, uh is we're gonna take our
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: spar Noff zero sugar infusion, the strawberry rose kind and
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: all of this comes in your kit. So from source
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: cock Cocktails dot Com from your phone, you literally get
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: a kid with an actual red rose. You get the infusion,
• 36:23

• 36:27
  Speaker 1: commemorative cups like literally everything to make the cocktails. Phone
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: the door. So here's how we make it. You'll take
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: ice into your rocks glass, you'll take your snaring Off
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: zero sugar, and you're gonna fill up your jigger, which
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: is a bartender's measuring cup two thirds of the way,
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: which is one and a half ounces. So now we've
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: got the base spirit in the cocktail. And what we're
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: gonna do next, uh, is we're gonna add our fresh
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: non alcohol mixers. So these are made locally in every
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: single city New York DC. My Amy j there, Ben, Yeah,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: do you have Do you have the mixer? Yes? So good? Good.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: So what we're gonna do is, we're gonna take our
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: jigger and you'll notice it has two sides, right, it
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: has a one on side and a two outside. We're
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: gonna use the big and we're gonna fill it all
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: the way up to the top two ounces, and we're
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: gonna pour it in over our infusion, our Smarial zero sugar.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: And I noticed, wells he learned a trick on the
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: Food Network with the vinegar when you're poaching eggs. I
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: believe if I caught it quickly, he called it a spluche.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: So we're gonna do this. We're gonna take our sparial
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: zero sugars siltzer. We're just gonna give it a little spluche.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: There we go. That's right, We're gonnap it up. This
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: is gonna taste perfect with his poached eggs and avocado toast.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Give me a little bit of a stir. So we're
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: gonna drop the temperature. We're gonna add a little bit
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: of what's called the luction, which is fancy bart under
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: a chocolate, a little bit of water, which is basically
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: going to combine that infusion strawberry roads, the strawberry cure
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: of the mix, and then using the bubbles of the
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: seltzer on the top. And that is your first impression.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: Cheers cheers to this. Yeah, yeah, I mean I made
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: this behind the scenes. I didn't pretty much exactly the
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: way you did. A little bit less fancy, but the
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: same mixtures. And by the way, this smear and off
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: zero sugar is incredible. I'm so glad you enjoy it,
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: and I'm glad you made one early. And that's just
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: you doing product quality control for the audience. Greatly appreciated.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: My wife still thinks I started the whole company because
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: I like product quality control. She's wrong. So we have
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: one other cocktail that I'll show you very quickly how
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: to make, and this is called our Final Roads. We're
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: actually shipping this cocktail for the season finale, not because
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: there's gonna be so much drama. We knew you hadn't
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: have a cocktail. And what you're gonna do is you're
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: gonna take your mix, You're gonna fill up two ounces
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: into a stemless wine glass and using your jigger, which
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: comes in the kit. It's the only tool you need
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: to be a professional bartender at home. All these other
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: things you see on my bar are mainly to make
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: me look cool. The reality is that you have a jigger,
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: you can proportion of cocktail, and now you can make
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: great cocktails at home. Who knew it had such a
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: fun name. A jigger, that's right, that'ser's measuring cup. And
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: what you're gonna do is you're gonna top it off
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: with this wonderful flavor, so raspberry rose flavor, and you're
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: gonna give it about four ounces and top it right
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: up so you have a full cocktail. You have a
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: low a D D option right to a little less
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: alcohol content. Uh, and you've got what we call a sparkler,

  Speaker 1: It's yeah, it's a it's too nice for me, you know,
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: I feel like I shouldn't even be living here. I

  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah? You cannot. You cannot if it's like,
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: yeah yeah, you can't even explain the difference between like
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: what you get out of the field and this is
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: like the corn that I just showed you is something
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: my mom. She's done it my whole life and probably
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: her parents life, and its kind of thing something she
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: does every every summer and then she freezes it. And
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: I've kind of lived off this really actually every meal
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: we have have and this is frozen, but the fresh
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: stuff is even better. It's not not even, but this
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: is pretty damn good too. Can we go to Iowa
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: one day and just visit him on the far I
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: would actually have a blast doing that live podcast from
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: Chris's house. Why not? I missed that that week on
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: my episode I'm on that season. I got cut right
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: before that week before I got Chris before. Um. One
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: question for you, I think I'm intrigued by I don't
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: know if anybody else is. I'm sure there are people
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: out there, and don't forget anybody out there watching or
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: listening right now, please ask your questions. I mean, Ashley
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: wanted to say anything like who's Chris willing to slice
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: his meat for? And uh everything else just ask away.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: We're we're free in the loopy right now. But hey, Chris,
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: uh and all and all seriousness. Um, you know, obviously
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: we're all living in amongst our houses right now, and
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: we're all starting to realize that any amount of kind
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: of freedom we had is now being restricted back into
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: our homes. How is this time during a pandemic affected farming? Um?
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: An agg have you noticed the difference? Are you holding up?
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: You know? The cool thing about this one time in
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: my life that I've been like really appreciative to live
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: and be in agriculture is now because we're you know,
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: we we can just go to work and I mean
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: we don't have to we're not having the social distance
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: because that's kind of how we are anyway. So it's
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: like you just go to work and and you know that.
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: So yeah, so it's kind of like it's more like, uh,
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: just another day really where you know, I live three
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: miles away from a town of foreigner people, so it's
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: not really, Uh, social distinct is not a huge issue.
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: You know. It's kind of like, yeah, it's well, we're
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: we're fortunate to be in the role we are and
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: kind of don't have to rely on on certain aspects
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: that are being restricted and I haven't. You don't see
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: people wearing masks around here. Uh, but we're not around
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: a lot of people, so we're very I feel very
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: fortunate right now, almost kind of thankful that I have
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: going on what I have going on, being in the
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: middle of nowhere. Yeah. Yeah, one more question for you
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: before we let you go. Kim wants to know if
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: you would ever be open to the idea of being
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: the Bachelor again. I'm too old for that. No, you're not.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: You're not. I don't know. Maybe he is. And I
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: only say that because Ben and I had an off
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: Mike conversation where we were like, is this as exhausting
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: as it used to be? Like when we when we
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: like go and do visits on the show, We're like this,
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: this is a lot. And I don't think I could.
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: I don't think I could start fresh again or like
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: do a whole season at the age of thirty two.
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: You have to like have like a vigor for yeah,
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: you have a vigor. Yeah, I mean maybe I've lost
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: my vigor. I don't know, but I like to. It's
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: nice to watch other guys go through it, and it
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: was a great experience, but I you know, it's uh,
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: it's not something that I have a huge desire to do,
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: and I don't think anybody would want me to do
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: it anyway, So it's uh, you know, but it's it's yeah,
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: it's it was a great experience. It's kind of something
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: I'm thankful that I've got to be a part of.
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: And at this point, uh, you know, it's nice to
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: just not be uh you know, as you guys can tell,
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: I don't really get too involved in social media and
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: and that whole thing. And it's like, yeah, it's nice
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: to just meet people naturally. Yeah, it's always it's always
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: exciting when you're back, but it is there's a degree
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: of exhaustion that comes with it. I can't imagine going
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: on a date every night. I don't know how you
• 49:51

• 57:02
  Speaker 1: Jared just came in with a ornament that my mom
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: had in the ornament box that was um token, my
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: ex boyfriend, and he's dangling it in front of me, like,
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: what the hell is this? He's decorating the tree. You're
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: trending the tree already. Yeah, we would like to have
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: it completely done it by Thanksgiving. Jared's parents are coming,
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: So we're just trying to get the house all together.
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: So Ben, you're at your nineties seven year old grandmother's
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: house in Connecticut. Now, if all goes well and we're able,
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: Connecticut will be where I'm spending Essex. Connecticut's well where
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: I'll be spending uh the Christmas time with justice family.
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: You know, that's still up in the air, but it's
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: the plan at this point. What is your Thanksgiving? It
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: a look like Thanksgiving. I'm heading back to Sonoma for Thanksgiving, uh,
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: and then Christmas back here um to New York and
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: in Connecticut. But I will be home with the mom's sister,
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: brother in law, niece, the gang in Sonoma. Oh nice, nice, Okay,
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: So tell us about the wine that some of us
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: received then? Has it right there? It's such a pretty pig,
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: isn't it nice? Yeah, let's before I get into the wine.
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: People have a hard time with with the skin contact
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: and color on rose. A lot of it is just
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: like time spent on the skins, right. It's common misconception
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: because people think that like the darker rose's are going
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: to be sweeter, but that's not true. It's just it's
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: just purely about the time spent on the skin, and
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: like the type of grape that it was made from,
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: the red the red grape that was made from UM.
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: That particular vintage is um zim fandel p Grenashans and
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: so from two different single vineyards in Mendocino and Lodi Counties. UM.
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: And you have it all trucked in, so it gets
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: like bounced for a couple of hours in the trucks
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: and it gets to my winery. Well that's where the
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: color comes from, because like most of the time people
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: will leave it on on the skins for like hours,
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: maybe a day, but like by the time the fruit
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: gets to me, I'm like pull it off, let's press
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: this thing, let's get it out and want to dry.
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: I pick it really um early, so like the alcohols
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: are really low and it's like bright and um can
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: age out for a while. Nice, it's beautiful. It's like
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: one of those bottles you don't even want to open.
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: You want to display it. Yeah, the labels really pretty.
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: My friends shoot um a bunch of bouquets of flowers
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: and like we found pulled like one of the little
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: images off of it and like zoomed in and I
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: actually was in Um, I took my mom to d
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: C and we did the net. We were at the
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: National Gallery of Art and I was at the Rembrandt
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: exhibit when my designers called me and so it was
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: in this really dark mood because rembrand it's very dark,
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: and I was like, you know what, let's dark in
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: this thing? Up I have for the whole thing. I
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: have a question about wine. Uh does it apply to
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: white wine that it ages better or is that just
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: a red wine thing? No, there's certain whites that can
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: that can run you know, years, um, if they're stored properly.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: The great Burgundies of France are are the white Burgundies
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: of France are some of my favorites. And I've had
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: those wines in the you know, sixties, seventies and they
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: still taste great. The red wines will generally age a
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: little bit longer. So I mean, obviously this is a
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: wine from your collection. Again, you can go to uh
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: the website which I think is ion dot wine, dot
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: on cool. How do you get dot wine? There aren't
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: there aren't very many out there, but I have a
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: dot wine and yeah, that's especially you can go You
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: can go to that website and find this. This is
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: gonna be great. In fact, as soon as I'm done,
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: uh with this thing, Jess and I are popping this
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: thing open. We have a good time with it. Um.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: Now we have a question from the audience. Lisa asks you, Ben,
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: what's the Thanksgiving food that you just don't get? I
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: think we talked about you. I told you guys what
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: I didn't get last week. We talked, We talked about this.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: I'm not a big fan of like dried fruit and stuffing.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: But here's my other thing that I don't get, Like
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: bread on the table. What's the point Like you have stuffing,
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: Like there's enough starch rolling around with mashed potatoes and
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: all this stuff. Like I don't need any more general roles.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: It's the one time of year that maybe we can
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: say no to bread because we don't need to be
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: filled up on it. We're just we should save that
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: space for something that we have as more of a rarity. Correct.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: And then we have another question from de Mario. He says,
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: as we approached the new year, what are you most
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: excited about in just the fact that it won't be
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: obviously been been a weird one. Um, I'm not going
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: to get political here. I think just a fresh start.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: I think, um, you know, it's a it's a great
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: reset for for everyone. Um, we've got good vaccine news.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: We had great vaccine news. Rights that's good news. So
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: that's really really awesome. Um, you know, Faser Modena doing
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: their things. I'm really really proud of those guys. And
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: you know, hopefully we're able to get back out and
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: and um hang with people in public settings and celebrate
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: the way we used to. That's right. Well, the questions
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: are rolling in for you, Ben. I don't know, you look,
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: you look smart, and so I must you just want

  Speaker 1: that that's when you get the best bachelor juice. I agree, No,
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: I'll say anything. Okay, let's get a question in here. Oh,
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: who would you like to do your next in depth with?
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: I always say like Emily Maynard Jojo a great bachelorette. Yeah,
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: I think that would be my top list. Two. I
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: think the Emily Maynards of the world. Uh, you know,
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: for a long time it was Andy Dorfman. We were
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: able to have her on just a few weeks ago.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: That was big. Jojo would be fantastic. Even Jojo and
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: Jordan together would be really fun. Um, but they're kind
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: of like you know, and who knows. Here soon we
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: could have a Mirror Ball champion, Caitlin Bristow coming back
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: on for another in depth to talk about her experience. Uh,
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: you know, taking down the mirror Ball. But it's been
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: really fun. Those in Depths just to give you a
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: quick before we answer our last question here. Uh, those
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: in Depths came from a few years ago. Actually, I
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: just wanted to do something that allowed us to dig
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: in a little deeper to the lives of the people
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: in the show. As Wills was mentioning you know, uh,
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: he does this whole podcast to find out you know
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: what what who you were before the show, and that's
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: kind of what in depths are so tune into those.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: But I actually I think you you and I both
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: agree on who do you want to do? I think
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: that would be really, really fun. I also would love
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: to do one on Matt James before his season, because
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: we don't we you know, we don't really know him
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: that well, and I'd love for people to get to
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: know him better and then get more attached to him
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: and root for him even more once his season starts.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: All right, we got one more question, and that is
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: what are your favorite Thanksgiving traditions? Um? Well, my dad's
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: stuffing is kind of a tradition in the sense that
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: it's the only time he cooks all year, and it's
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: an amazing recipe that has been passed down from my grandmother. Um.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: And I also think that this is like the thing
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: that you dread around the Thanksgiving table when you're a kid,
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: but then you grow to appreciate it. My mom always
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: just has us go around the table and talk about
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: what we're thankful for. Now I get a little like
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: emotional now right, yeah, special, right. I mean as a kid,
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: you hate it. You're like, I don't want to talk
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: about what I like. You're like, no, this is good
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: or what's important to me? Yeah, and it matters now
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: I think that, And I I mean maybe it's uh,
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: maybe it's so simple, but I live in you know,
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: thousands of miles from any family now, and uh, I
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: think being with family is so cool for the holidays,
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: like having everybody together again and making a priority to
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: be together again and remember that you know, all the
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: memories you haven't making new memories. I think, uh, you know,
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: I'm realizing more than ever. And I think a lot
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: of people out there watching that life moves on very quickly,
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: Like life moves fast, and we've just spent the last
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: at least eight months of all of our lives away
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: from a lot of people we love. And so if
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: you have the opportunity this holiday season, I'm gonna preach
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: to you for a second, But if you have the
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: opportunity this holiday season to be around family, know how
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: special that is and take advantage of you know, tell
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: the people that you see you love that you love them,
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: h listen to their stories, find out who they are. Um,
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: this is a big, big time for a lot of people,
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: and I think the holidays are kind of the mark
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: where you can really invest into the health and mental
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: health of your family, the emotional health of your family,
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: and just be around him once again. Well, actually, as always,
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: I'm thankful for you. You know, this is years in
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: the making. I don't know, we're coming up on what
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: is this four years of doing this podcast, three and
• 1:14:53
