  Speaker 1: the name Grayson, So the only way I could get
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: her not to um not to necessarily go with Colton
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: was I had a like a pre tape to watch

  Speaker 1: for people, a magazine TV show thingy, and they wanted

• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Colton happened to be crying in this episode and his
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: little nameplate came came up underneath it, you know. So
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I and she would never watch the show with me.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: So I get the show like totally positioned properly, and

  Speaker 1: I go, hey, come on, you know, I just kind
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: of watch this with me, you know. She's like okay.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: So she comes in and I hit play and she goes, oh,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: who's this guy? He's he's really cute. And then he
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: starts crying and she's like, why is he crying? And
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know, and in the name thing comes up
• 2:00

  Speaker 1: after some Bachelor star. Well, you know, there are a
• 2:30

  Speaker 1: be fun. The Hopper erstwhile known as the Throne, uh,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: the the place where people go potty and wait a second,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: and you are proving to everyone who is listening that
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: we are indeed dinosaurs. Yes, yes, I know, I know

  Speaker 1: right now, I I you know, the folks that help
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: us with the podcasts are literally going, what does that
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: even sounds like something? My Grandpa would say, let's yes,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: because they're all young and trying to be beautiful and talented,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: and we're well, you are those things as well. I'm
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: just simply I'm you know what I am. I am
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: just comedic farm for the show. But I will say this,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: stop it. Yeah, I will say this. When we came
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: up with the idea with O G versus I G
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: or I G versus O G. One of the things
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: that really drove me to this idea or or was
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: was motivator for me on the part of the idea
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: where it's the O G versus I, not the not
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: the game part that that we're talking about. Um was.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I was thinking about when when you forced me, when
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Trista forced me to watch the first episode of my season,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: and I was hating it with a passion launching myself,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: but women were lovely. You forced me. You're like, Bob,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: you must watch this. I'm like, okay, Trista, you know,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: and so I did. Um. But I will say that
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: in watching it, I was like, God, what happened to me?
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Like one about my life was so cool back then,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: and I started thinking about the fun stuff that I
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: had done at that time up until that point in
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: my life, and one of them. You know, I was
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: a musician at the time, and even though you know,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I guess you're never not a musician once you're a musician.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: But let's be honest, I'm not. I'm not touring anymore
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: on doing that kind of but at that time I was.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: And we did a tour, you know, where we had
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: opened for you know, hooting the Blowfish and Matchbox twenty
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: and all these big bands. And then I was like, literally,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: as I was thinking about that, I was starting the
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Mowanna CD in my car for my son, you know,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: and uh he he, And I know everywhere it's like,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: you know, what can us say except you're welcome and
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: whatever the words are, I don't really know. I do, actually,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I do know the words. I won't lie. And I thought,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: oh my gosh, it's really kind of amazing how my
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: life has changed over the years. I now spend my time,
• 6:14

  Speaker 1: I watch it. Oh I need to watch it. Oh,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: I love movies that make me cry. Sorry, And back then,

• 24:03
  Speaker 1: that was fun. Okay, so we're gonna take a quick
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: break and then after this we're gonna go O G
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: versus I G which I gave you a kind of
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: a little feeler you know that it's gonna be like
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: where we were. It's sort of like you know when
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: you when people say like I g um, you know,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Instagram versus reality. This is gonna be, you know, our
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: our old life versus I think kind of right, Yeah,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: I agree, So like I have, I have so many,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, and it's embarrassing. I'm sure you do. So
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: I leave people in this little teaser. Uh. Someone once
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: said to me, and this is not too long ago.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Once said to me, um, wait, so so this is
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: this is what you do for a living. And I said, yeah,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: I love it. And they said, how the mighty have fallen?
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: But said that to me, isn't that amazing? And I
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: thought it was actually really funny slash insulting. Insulting. For sure,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: we'll get into it when we get back all those things,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: the gs, we'll be back, all right, And we're back
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: and we're back. God, that was a long break. Oh
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: my gosh. I was wondering when we were ever going
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: to get back to it. Almost totally passed out sleeping
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: during that whole thing. Yeah I can do that on
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: a moment's notice. I can. Maybe not today I have
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: too much to do, but uh yeah, normally I can't.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: So Okay, so o G versus I G Bob's idea
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: and we're so excited to actually like kind of talk
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: about how things were back in the day compared to
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: how things are now and the things that we post
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: about on I G. I think very similar. It's probably
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: about our kids. Um I uh yeah. You just told
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: the story before break about how someone not gave you
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: a compliment in an insult, because I don't consider that
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: necessarily a compliment. It was just no, there was no
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: compliment unless I'm saying I was mighty at one time.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: That's kind of a yeah, that's right, that's true, you were,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: that's right. So um so I have a similar story
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: and this this happened quite frequently. I feel like it
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: probably happened to you too, where people would come up
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: to me and say or even write me and say,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: oh you you look so much better in person. Yeah,
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: but wait, I'm the same person. Yeah, thank thank you, thanks. Okay.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: I got the point with that one where I would say,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: oh wait, so so when like thirty million people were
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: watching me on TV, I looked like Dodge, But when
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: you meet me in the store, I look amazing. Thanks.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: I guess yeah, yeah, no that I definitely I got
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: that one a lot. I mean, it was, you know,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: oh wait, you're not You're not fat in person, like, oh,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: thank you. People always think I'm way taller because of
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: course I'm five two and very petite. Um, I could
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: tend to lose, you know, five ten, but um, you know,
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: people always think that you're way taller in person, and
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: I definitely am not. So yeah, there's that too, but um,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: which I kind of which is kind of like an
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: o G I G. People can't tell how tall you
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: are on I G. Everybody's tall on Instagram. I mean
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: everybody's everybody's having a grad stated lives and there's six
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: ft nine. I think, Um, yeah, you know, my my
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: ex wife was five too, as is my current wife
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: five four. I I apparently I have a thing. Um
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: and uh. She was an actress, so people would always
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: say that to her, to you, like, oh, you're so
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: much tinier I thought you'd be, you know, And so
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: it was it kind of went hand in hand with
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: my thing, which was like, oh, oh you're not as
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: fat as I thought you'd be. So so yeah, that's
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: a good one. That's a good one. I like that one. Yeah. Okay,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: So we've got some questions that we've got some thoughts starters,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: and I just wanted to I feel like, this is
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: really interesting that this was even like asked by the producers,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: is were gossip magazines like US Weekly and people around
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: and I just feel like, oh my gosh, really is it?
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Do we really are we looking like we're that old?
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: Because they definitely were. Yes, they were around guys. Um,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: you know people magazine. You might be surprised it's been
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: around a little longer than twenty years, a lot longer.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: And like for my wedding, So at the wedding, which
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: you know, six million people watched, um and so lots
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: of you out there listening may have watched back then.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: So when you watched, you probably knew that there were
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: helicopters hovering over the ceremony when it was happening. And
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: those helicopters were, in fact, UH magazines, trying to get
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: a great shot for their for their magazine. They wanted
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: to get like an exclusive by actually being at the wedding. Also,
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you knew this because you were
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: you were at the wedding, but they walked up to people,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: so the paparazzi or people from the magazines, because they
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: weren't going to be given the photos until they were
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: shared with everyone unless someone had an exclusive deal, which
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: is kind of how it works. So the magazines like
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: somehow got into the uh, the the hotel property. It
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: was Brancho Mirage and now it's the Ris Carlton in
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Palm Springs. And so they get there and they they
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: put they stuck on those little disposable cameras into bushes,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: into bushes, and they told people. Actually I think they
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: ended up kind of somehow getting into the wedding. And
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: then they would tell people there is a disposable camera
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: in the bush over there. If you take a picture
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: and then get it to me afterwards, we'll give you
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: five thousand dollars or whatever it was I think it was. Yes,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: isn't that crazy? So yes, the magazines were most definitely
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: around and and actually probably thriving even better than they
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: do now because of social media. I feel like the magazines,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: the television shows. Everyone has Instagram. Yeah, now it's about
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: online content for sure. Yeah, I don't I don't pick
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: up magazines like I used to. I don't know about you,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: but I used to grab them. But now that there's
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: social media, you kind of see everything online. I will
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: say this, So when I was when I was on
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: your season of the Bachelorette and in between being on
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: The Bachelorrette and The Bachelor Um. The National Enquiry was
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: in my front lawn at my house when I came
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: home from the airport one day and I'm like, you know,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: and you know, I'm one of those guys like, Hi,
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: how you doing. You know, I can you know, I'm like, hey,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: my Mom's like, I'm surprised you didn't invite him in.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: I'm like, maybe I don't. Yeah, hey, can I get
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: you guys so lot out here, But you know, it
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: was one of those things where it was sort of like,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: oh my god, and then you know, yeah, I remember
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: back then there was you know, like I became friends with,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: you know, some of the same photographers. I'd see a
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: different things and stuff. All of a sudden, I you know,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: I'd run into him at times when I didn't want
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: to see him, and I was like, oh, no, you know,
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: but yeah, it was definitely one of those things that
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: they were around big time back then. But yeah, there
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: was not really the online presence that it is today.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: Although I will tell you oddly enough, so my wife
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: and I have been married seven years now, six years
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: uh November and we got married in Punta me To, Mexico,
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: which is beautiful if you've ever been. And we rented
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: this house and had the wedding at the house, and
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: we actually stayed at the house as well. And uh,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: you know, I see this boat out there that I
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: think is a different boat, and because I just don't,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: I just don't think anyone cares. So I'm like, oh,
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: that's weird as a fishing boat out there today, you know.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: And so my wife comes out over and she's like, hey, uh,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: what's up with that boat? And I'm like, I know
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: some guys are fishing and she's like, I don't think
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: so I think that's paparazzi. I'm like, no, absolutely not. Um.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: First of all, Lady Gaga was there for a friend's
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: wedding and I'm like, not at our wedding, and she
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: was at a put putt. I'm like, uh no, I
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: can't believe she blew it off. I mean what, no, RSPP.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: I guess she didn't have the number because I didn't
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: know her, but uh, had she been invited, I would
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: have expected her as to be there. But any who, Um,
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, they probably look for Lady Gaga, you know,
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: and find out no, they you know, they leaked our
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: photos and and uh, we got some grief over that
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: because you know, we had like this thing. It wasn't
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: even an exclusive thing, but it was just the thing
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: that we were doing that I thought it was gonna
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: be fun and uh with like bride magazine exactly what
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: that was where my wife more than it was for
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: me actually, so I thought she would love it, and
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: you know, but yeah, these photos came out and I'm like,
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: where first of all their photos, like what a cop
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: quality lens that guy had? H you know, but it
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: was definitely from a distance and uh from a boat.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: And I was wrong. He was right, which I have
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: come to find out for anyone who ever gets married,
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: you know, the wife is always right and just as
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: a guy, he's going to admit it. Yeah. Yeah, that
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: that saves, That would save so many marriages, so many
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: of my marriage. I mean, my god, it's amazing. I
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: finally learned. It took me a couple, just a couple.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: Just you reminded me of a story that we were
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: in Europe for. Actually it was a press event. Um,
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: we went to Monte Carlo. Then we then we ended
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: up going out on our own and we went to
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: chinqua Tera in Italy and we met this person and
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: he was he spoke English. He was super nice. He
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: was like, I'll take you around. My my friend has
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: this boat. You know, I'm with Ryan. If I had
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: been with girlfriends, I never would have done this because
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: I would be like, okay, random guy taking us out
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: on a boat. Yeah, you know so anyway, so he
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: takes us out on this boat. We totally connected with him,
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: and um, he dropped us off in this like cove,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: super private, super fun. It was beautiful, and we took
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: a picture on the boat. He was like, oh, let's
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: just take a picture whatever, and of you guys, of
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: me and of me and Ryan. He was like, let
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: me take a picture of you guys, and you know,
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: we take a picture and then we get home and
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: it was he had sold it to a magazine. I
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: was like, really, like, that's why why do I have
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: to like, why are you putting this in my head
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: that I can't just trust someone to be you know,
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: innocent and not wanting to sell a picture of us
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: to a magazine. Like it's kind of a bummer that
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: that's how the world was and now it's like all
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: over social media if you go anywhere, like real people
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: can't sell pictures anymore because it's already leaked. I had.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: I had a weird experience with my class reunion in
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: high school. I'll never forget. I really wanted to go,
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: you know, because I was class president and a lot
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: to me to be there, and well, of course you
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: were class president, right. So I go back and this
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: guy tells me. He's like, yeah, I got contacted by
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: so and so and they wanted me to give them
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: a picture. And I'm like what, and he's like, they
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: offered me a lot of money, like one of your friends,
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: one of your friends from high school. I would say
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: it was a person I knew, not someone whom it
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: And he was like, you know, I I figured i'd
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: come to you and just tell you, you know, in
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: that way, you know, if it's up to you. I mean,
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: if you're cool that I'll sell it, and if not,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: you know, you could just give me that money. And
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: I was like, uh what, sorry, no, thank you, Like, well,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: I'd rather you just didn't sell it and you didn't
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: ask me for money. That would be kind of cool. Ye. Yeah,
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: Thankfully it ended up kind of working out that way. Frankly,
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: he ended up you know, he actually ended up not
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: getting money from me and not selling it, which I
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: thought was pretty good. Good, Yeah, totally his decision. Yeah, yeah,
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: I think he got a guy a little guilt from
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: some of my buddies that you know, we're kind of like,
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: you're not selling a picture to the real that's not cool,
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: I know, But that was definitely back in the day.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: That was a different time, and you know, I think,
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: like you said, that doesn't necessarily exist like that anymore.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: But now people will do it intentionally. So now we've
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: got people who come off the show and immediately are influencers.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: We've talked about this a lot. Everyone who has a
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: Bachelor podcast talks about this a lot. I feel like
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: it's a topic of conversation a lot because nowadays, when
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: you go on the show, there is a very high
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: probability that you'll get a lot of followers, if you
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: go far in the show, if people like you, if
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: you're a villain, and you've got a lot of drama
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: surrounding you, you know, all of those things, and and
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: back in the day, it wasn't that, but it was
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: I remember so I. Um. I went into hosting a
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: little bit because after the show, like after The Bachelor,
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: I was like, this is really fun. I love this environment.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: Everyone is so fun and positive. Like all the producers
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: they're trying to hype you up, like keep you in
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: a good mood. It's just it was a really fun environment.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: And I thought, huh, maybe I could do something there.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: I was a pediatric physical therapist at the time, and
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: it was very um what's the word. Uh. It fed
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: my soul in a way, but it wasn't necessarily what
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: I would call a fun job, you know. It was
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: more about the purpose of it, you know, helping kids
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: and um. So I would go and do interviews and
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: people would be and the producers or whomever I would
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: work with or the on air talent would say, you know,
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: you're great at this. Why don't you do this? Like
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: why why have you not done this? So, you know,
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: after a bunch of those, I thought, oh, maybe I
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: can do this. So I ended up in hosting. And
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: I mean I was on the view when they were
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: looking at trying to hire someone. Um. I can't remember
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: what who they were replacing at the time. Um, and
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: I did stuff for Good Day Live and Good Day
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: l A and Good Morning America and Extra. I was
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: a correspondent and and so I had a lot of fun.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: But I will say that I felt like there was
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: a negative connotation to it, that people were like, oh,
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: so she wanted to get into hosting UM and that's
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: why she did the show. But that's not true. It
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: was the other way around. I went into the show
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: and then because I had so much fun and because
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: of the experience I had doing the interviews and getting
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: the response that I did, I thought this could be
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: a fun job. So I do think there was a
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: negative connotation even back then. I know you did a
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: lot of posting too, And did you feel that did
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: you feel that people were kind of judging you for
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: going to on air entertainment. Oh totally, but probably because I,
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: you know, I didn't end up with my final pick.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: At least you ended up with your final pick, so
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: you could be like, well, you know, for me, it's like,
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: look at this guy. And I was an entertainment before,
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: you know, I was hosting local ABC affiliate and then
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: and then I was also a musician, so I was like,
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: you know, I think I think a lot of people
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: assumed that was the case, but no much much the same.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was just all these opportunities are in
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: your lap, and it's like, okay, sure, why not, you know,
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: if it's in my schedule. My thing was I you know,
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: I never quit my day job, so like for the
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: longest time, I stayed in the mortgage industry. And then
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: as that kind of died, you know, in two thousand
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: and eight, which was a long time ago for many
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: of our listeners, I'm sure, but um, you know, at
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: this at that time, I had already been in that
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: business for quite some time, and um, and that and
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: I segued into you know, uh, basically a totally different
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: industry but very similar type of feel, you know, which
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: was the insurance industry. So but it was it was
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: one of those things where you know, I loved doing it,
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, and then they found me for shows that
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: like fit things they knew I did. Like I would
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: take pictures. I was new to Instagram. I was very late,
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: very very long post Bash or before I was ever
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: on Facebook, Instagram any of that stuff, and um, and
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: I would take pictures of the house as I renovated,
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: and because I really enjoyed that, and so I would
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: get contacted by like TLC or you know, HDTV, and
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: they're like, hey, we want you to host this show
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: about home renovation. I'm like, all right, you know, and
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: it was fun and it was exciting. I'm having a memory.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: Did you host a show on the Game Game Show Network? Yeah?
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: For four years? Yeah? Were we on it? Were me
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: and Ryan on it? No? Well you were, so I
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: was hosting a show around that show. So, um, you
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: guys came on Bingo not Bingo, the Lingo Blitz, Bingo
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: Blitz or something like that, and I was hosting was Lingo.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, that's funny. It was Shandy Finnissy Sandy Fantasy. Yeah, yeah,
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: from Dancing with the Start. Well, she was on Dancing
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: with the Stars, but she was also a Miss USA.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: I believe she. Andy was awesome. Yeah, she She actually
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: was a frequent guest on my show back then too.
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: And yeah, you know I'm saying though, I mean, I
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: think I started working with the view right away, and
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: actually Oprah, Oprah was a big part of that. Oprah
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: put a mic in my hand and made me her
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: man on the street. You know, so before I was
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: even the Bachelor, I did like I did like ten
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: episodes where I'd be like Oprah's man on the Street.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: Hey it's Bob, you know, Trista's love loser here in
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: the streets of Chicago. You know. It was fun, you know,
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was really a fun gig. But but
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: you're right. I mean I think I think they're probably
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm super unaware of everything I'm oblivious to. Like
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: I just think everybody and I are best friends. So
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: I probably didn't pick up on it, and it was there. Uh,
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: you know, you're probably a little more tuned into real
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: life and not with your head in the clouds like me.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: So I think, Um, you know, I definitely remember thinking
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: to myself, like I, I would hear it a lot
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: when I would do a show and they go, man,
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: we kind of expected you to be like a prima donna,
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: and you're actually really fun to hang out with them. Yeah,
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: I've gotten that a lot too. But I feel like
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: so in back in the day, I feel like the
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: route for some of us, you and I included, was
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: to go into some kind of television hosting in a way.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: There weren't podcasts back then. There were radio shows. Um,
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: but that was kind of a little bit of what
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: people would do with it, because some were like me,
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: I feel like, and they just thought it was a
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: really fun industry and they had never been, um, you know,
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: involved in it before. And then there were some that,
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: of course I'm sure they went on the show, they
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: were actors prior they were they were hosts or in
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: some way, shape or form in journalism or entertainment, and
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: they went that direction. So it's kind of similar. But
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: obviously nowadays, I feel like when you go on the show,
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: you're immediately changing your account to something that people will follow,
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: and you know, you're putting it in your bio and
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: all of those things, because let's be honest, that the
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: opportunities that are there, it's like silly, like why wouldn't
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: you For those people that came off the show, I don't.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: I as a kind of more traditional and I say
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: traditional even though I met my husband and got engaged
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: after six weeks, But as a more traditional person, I
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: would like for people to go on the show with
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: the intent of forming a relationship if they end up
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: liking the person and having a connection. But that's not
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: to say that they can't after the show think, oh well,
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: if a bunch of people are following me and I
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: have these opportunities, then you know, what do you go for? Ye? Well,
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: I just said, I mean you can't you know, there
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: before the grace of God. Right. So it's like with
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: so much of are things that happened in our lives,
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: it's like, all you can do is control how you
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: would respond to that situation until you're in it. Until
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: you're in it, you don't know how you're gonna respond, right. So,
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, at the end of the day, you know,
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: if you're getting a bunch of opportunities throwing at you,
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: which generally include some type of financial compensation, and you know,
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: you're you know, you're someone who's from you know, like
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: like I mean wherever it is America, and you're like,
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: oh my god, this could be so fun, you know,
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: or Wow, this could be very or maybe I could
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: make this a career. You never know, and you've got
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: to take advantage of those opportunities. And so I don't
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: hate on anybody for that kind of stuff, you know,
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: I think I think it's uh what I think is interesting.
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: One of the questions we got to, which I think
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: is pretty interesting, was nowadays contestants leave the show and
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: are considered celebrities. Was this the case for you to
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: the people who know who you were when they saw
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: you in public? And I would answer this one, um
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: definitely about the being noticed in public thing, like you know,
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: it went. It was an overnight thing, um to the
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: point where I think I told you I ended up
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: like getting a brush cut at one point because my
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: big curling mop. You know, they either thought I was honestly,
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: they thought I was Bachelor Bob or I was Joe
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: Millionaire because Evan marry out of the time. So it
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: was like, I was like, God, you know, this is crazy.
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: But it was fun because everyone was always so nice.
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: You know. I never was one of those people. And
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: then you'd meet those people and I'm sure this still happens.
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: I'm sure this still happens you because I know it
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: still happens to me. Were they, Oh, I never watched
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: that show. I don't watch those stupid reality shows. Can
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: I get a picture? And You're like, how do you whatever?
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: I'm like, why if you didn't never watch it, how
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: do you even know who I am? That's kind of weird. Yeah,
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: you know, it's like a big At the same time,
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: they're like, yeah, you're not You're not that important, but
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: I'm going to spend my time talking to you. And
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: I will say, like back then, you know, when we
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: were doing the shows, it was it was so early
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: on in reality television in general that you know, um my,
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: my thought of it was always and this was especially
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: after I was done with the show and I and
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: I met my now ex wife, but she was an
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: established actress and stuff. I didn't ever want to be
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: like I always thought, now, she's a she's a celebrity, right,
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: I'm just I'm a I'm a personality that people know
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: who they are, you know, And so I always categorized
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: myself like that, and um, you know, and and but
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: but it was amazing, you know, the fact that so
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: many people did watch it. I mean, you know, Oprah
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: was such a fan of your season, which led her
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: to be a big fan of me thankfully, which which
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: I felt like she you know, was truly a friend.
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: And it was like amazing to me to be in
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: a situation with Oprah where she's like, hey, Bob, and
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, oh, how are you know? And it
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: was really you know, and let back on in. You know,
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: Ellen de General has had us on a ton, you know,
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: and all these I mean, I did, I know you
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: did as well. I did every time I worked for
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: the View for three years, I did all the renovation
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: stuff and it was just fun and interesting and different.
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: But I never I never thought of myself as a celebrity.
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: I thought of myself as someone who um person personality,
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: who thankfully people liked from the show, you know, and
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: so I never ran into problems with it, which was nice, right. No,
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: I I felt the same way. And any time we're
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: brought up as being celebrities or a question is asked
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: about how do you feel about being a celebrity, I'm like,
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: you know, celebrities like you know, I don't know about
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: that term, but personality, I yeah, media personality, I guess,
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: is what you would say. Because we're from reality television,
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: I see more celebrities as like movie stars or rock
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: stars or you know, like legit movie stars and rock
• 47:29

• 47:40
  Speaker 1: great guy. We get married, and people enjoyed listening or
• 47:42

• 50:50
  Speaker 1: and and Amy Sugarman and everything else that she did
• 50:53
