  Speaker 1: just us two chat in the chat. Hi, how are you?
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: This is perfect? I want to know Trista like, how
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: much on a scale of one to ten, one being nothing,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: ten being super fan, would you say you know when
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: it comes to Taylor Frankie Paul.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Oh gosh, I am really low on that spectrum because
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: I didn't know who she was prior to her Now,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, I had heard her name, I knew what
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: mom talk was, or at least had heard of mom talk,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: but I had never watched Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Okay, so Frankie Briday is perfect for somebody like you then,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: because you're going to be learning so much about her
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: leading up by the time March rulls around, you're gonna
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: be like, h Taylor, Frankie Paul, I know her mom,
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: I know her kids' names, I know her exes.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: You can know it all, and that's what aady listening.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: If you're like you know Trista and you don't know
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: everything about the lead, this will hopefully get you as
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: excited as some of us who do know more about
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: her because they're dropping a lot of stuff and we're
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: not doing any spoilers. I want to say that we're
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: not spoiling you know who we see in these videos
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: or who the top ones are, and we're not doing that. Okay,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: we still want it to be a very enjoyable season.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: We're just talking about certain things we're seeing in the
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: headlines that could possibly show up on the show, So
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: little bit of discretion on that, Like, we're not really
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: the season for anybody perfect.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: I love it. I love being able to go into
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: the season knowing who she is as a person, because
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: usually people get to know the lead because they were
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: on you know, a previous show and were recycled. So
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I feel like now with this, this can be people's
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: one stop shop to getting to know all about Taylor
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Frankie Paul for sure.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: And I think, listen, you know this as well. Since
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: you were the first bachelorette and you came from season
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: one of the Bachelor, did you feel like the audience
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: really got to know you from your first season on
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: the Bachelor or did they really get to know you
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: a lot more when you were the bachelorette Because you
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: were one of twenty something women, you probably got really
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: limited screen time even though you went, you know, incredibly
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: far to the final on that series. Like would you
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: say that? Like I think, I guess my question is
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: did you feel like the audience knew you really knew
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: you during your time on Bachelor Nation or did that
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: come more after Bachelor Nation when you were with you know,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Ryan and sharing that you know.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Part of your love journey.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I feel like people got to know me, like maybe
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: the basics, you know, the like foundation of who I
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: was on the Bachelor, and then you know, they knew
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I was a pediatric physical therapist, a Miami heat cheerleader,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: that I lived in Miami, that you know, certain things
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: that I wanted a family, you know, those those kind
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: of things. So they learned some basics about me, but
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I feel like, for sure they got to know me
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: during the Bachelorette because when you're a contestant versus and
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: I hate calling it a contestant, but that's what we're
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: calling it, versus the lead, you get obviously way more
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: time in front of the cameras and you're talking all
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: about what you want out of life. So that's way
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: more than just the basics, you know. So people definitely
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: got to know me as the Bachelorette, and then even
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: more so afterwards with like interviews that we did talking
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: about you know, just life and not being edited necessarily,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: you know, and being able to just speak our mind
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: as as in real time.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: I think like as a as a fan of the
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: show for so many years, I could say that, you know,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: there were you know, leads where I had watched them
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: previously and watched them, you know, go through the show
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: where I was like, yeah, like I really, you know,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: think I know what they're looking for in terms of love.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I could ever say who their
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: exes were, what they're you know, maybe they grew up
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: in you know, what they did for a living. Maybe,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: like all of these things, I like feel like I
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: know Taylor already on a different level, which is like totally.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: It's it's really making me invested for this season because
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: I've already seen her attempt. I've already seen it, so
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I already know a little bit of like
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: what to expect. So I guess like for people that
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: don't know her or haven't watched the show, it is
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: going to feel very different. But for a lot of
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: us that have watched, and I know there's a lot
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: of us because the numbers are huge on her show,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be interesting because we just I just know it.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: I know I've talked to other fans. We feel very
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: invested in her journey already.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Totally because Secret Lives is, you know, a docuseries, so
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: they're following them in their real life. It's not a
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: dating show as Bachelorette is, so you definitely have gotten
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: to know her in her daily, everyday life. And yes,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: some of some of the locations or activities or whatever
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: they do, I assume are probably scripted, you know, the
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: producers are like, hey, let's go whatever. But then maybe
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: it's something that she wouldn't choose normally, but I feel
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: like they are. You're definitely getting to know someone like
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: a Kardashian or like Jessica and Nick back in the day,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: you know, like those kind of series where you're following
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: these people in their everyday life. You're definitely getting to
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: know her. So that's so true.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Jessica and Nick from Newlyweds is a perfect example. That's
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: a perfect example of how people are so invested in
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Jessica Simpson's life and were for so long because of
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: that show. So perfect example.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I feel like we get to follow along,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: and in Bachelorette you're getting to follow along like in
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: their life's choices. Like the biggest decision I feel like
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: that you make in life is you know, the partner
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: that you choose for the rest of your life. Yeah,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: so I feel like that's a big decision and a
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: big you find out a lot about a person in
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: going through that process, but you don't like follow them
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: along with taking their you know, kids on vacation and
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: dealing with the drama of all of that, and dealing
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: with the drama of ex'es and dealing with the drama
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: of family life, and you know all of that, so
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I think it'll be really interesting to see. You're right,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: there's such a huge following for Secret Lives, and I
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: hope it's going to translate. But we're just here as
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: almost famous to like share all about her so everyone
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: else can join in to uh, you know, the fan base,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: and we can root for her.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: And the ultimate hope is that if she does make
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: a love connection, that we then see this person on
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Secret Lives after it and we get to see what
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: I think all the Exploration fans have always wanted, which
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: is the after the proposal part of the relationship that
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: we've really never gotten to see outside of Like I'm
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: pretty sure that Ben and Lauren were the only Bachelor
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Nation couple in history to ever get their own reality show,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: so you know, we've never really gotten to see that
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: from people. So that would be the ultimate if we
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: got to see that too. But let's dive into these headlines.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: I'll let you kick it off.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Okay, So we've got a headline.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Taylor Frankie Paul turns up the heat in a sexy
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: red lace dress for the Bachelorette rose ceremony. I have
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: not seen this picture, so I just saw when you
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: asked if I had read seen the tiktoks, I just
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: saw the ones you texted me. I didn't know this
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: was no worry bottom.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: So it's all good.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: You want to take a second and click on it
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: and look at it, Yeah, I'm fine with that.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Perfect. I mean, honestly, she is a gorgeous girl, like
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: gorgeous girl, and I feel like she is very sexy,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: and that's like part of I feel like who she is.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: She likes to be.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Like what's the word. She likes to show off her assets.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: She likes to show off what.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Was God made and what was plastic surgeon made or
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: whatever it was. I don't know if she's had plastic surgery,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: but hey, if you've got it flaunted.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Exactly, she is gorgeous, no joke. What we as fans
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: have always gotten to see her in is sweatpants. I mean,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: the girl loves a good track suit. She loves crocs.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: She's super open about that. My favorite thing was after
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: season one was such a hit, she totes around this
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: gooyyard tote now to bag and I was like, oh,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: that is like her new character, like similar to Jessica
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Simpson with the LOUI baton back in the day, Taylor
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: always has this Boyard tote now, which I think is
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: so funny.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I don't even know what that is, but yes,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: it's a good thing.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: It's a high end French, French designer bag.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's I mean, I'm just clueless. I know Louis,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know Goyard.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: All good, all good. So seeing her in these, you know,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: typical bachelorette gowns is kind of a new thing for us, because, yes,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: we see her dressed up for the Secret Lives and
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Mormon Wives reunions. All the girlies do really glamorous looks
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: for that, but in the day to day we do
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: not see that. And I think that fans wondering, you know, oh,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: is she gonna be herself like when she's doing this
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: or is she gonna really kind of fit more into
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: the format. And I really think they're doing a little
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: mix of both, because, yeah, some feet picks that we
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: talked about in a previous episode where she has been
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: instagramming her feet along with it looks like a man
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: whoever she's with, we don't know, got it. But we've
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: seen some crocs, we've seen some boots, so I'm under
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: the impression that she's kind of doing a mixture of both,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: where she's being herself maybe during the day and she's
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: kind of getting a little glam for the Rose ceremonies.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: That's what I well.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: I feel like also, most of us are, like in
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: our daily life, are wearing sweats or you know, comfy
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: clothes exactly same. I mean, even though it's not a hoodie,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: it's a sweatshirt. So I feel like that's probably a
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: part of who she is. And we just haven't, I guess,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: from what you're saying, gotten to see a lot of
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: the glam stuff from mom talk, except for like when
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: they do have to do glam with reunions or with
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: any of the tiktoks or whatever, because I know I
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: have seen some of her tiktoks where she's like, you know,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: doing the transition from like before she gets ready to
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: after and she's like, hello, I'm dropped out gorgeous. So
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: I feel like that's part of who she is, and
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: I love seeing all parts of everybody.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: I love, you know.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: This TikTok that we're talking about in the clip, she
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: and Jesse Palmer are you know, joked about what their
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: conversations should sound like during every Rose ceremony and Taylor
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: mouths over the sound, I don't know what to say,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: and Jesse replies, just be yourself, say something nice and
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: she goes back, which one. I can't do both, So
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: you know that's cute. The humor is not lost. I
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: think we're gonna have some really funny moments. I'm curious
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: to get your take though on this next headline. This
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: is me being super sleuth because she is an influencer
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: and a TikToker. She's putting on a lot of content
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: still while she's you know, filming, But I took some
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: screenshots of these Instagram stories because I thought they were interesting.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: So she shot the book she's currently reading and a
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: screenshot of her playlist that she's listening to while she
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: is filming. So she's currently reading Emotional Intelligence Mindfulness by
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Harvard Business Review. It is a collection of articles by
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: a number of authors and kind of The synopsis of
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: this book is it features smart, essential reading on the
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: human side of professional life from the pages of Harvard
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Business Review. Each book in this series offers proven research
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: showing how our emotions impact our work lives. Practical advice
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: for managing difficult people and situations, and inspiring essays on
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: what it means to tend to our emotional well being
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: at work. Wow, that's a lot, and it makes me
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: want to ask you. I know it was a long
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: time ago. Do you remember what you were reading when
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: you were the Bachelorette?
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: Nothing?
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: I didn't have time to read. No, that's that's what
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: my comment was going to be, like, Oh, yeah, sorry, No,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: I was. I was journaling because I wanted to write
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: down what was happening, my feelings, and that was kind
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: of like my therapy of going through it and having
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: someone to talk to. It was my journal. But yeah,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: I feel like you rarely, rarely have time to read,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: and I feel like when I read, I need for
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: it to be like all the things are done, you know,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: things are crossed off my to do list. And not
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: that that ever happens, because the list is ongoing and constant,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: but I feel like if there's things going on in
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: my life that I'm like, oh crap, I have to
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: do this and this and this and this and this
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: and this, and my brain is going crazy. I just
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: can't focus on reading. So good for her for reading.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: If she's actually getting it done, because I don't know.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: I would assume that most.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Bachelorettes are in the same boat that you just don't
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: have a lot of time. Well.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Her playlist that she shared is titled Airplace, and it
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: contains songs like Bruce Springsteen's I'm On Fire, Mazzie Starr,
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Fade Into You, Fleetwood mac Landslide, and Morgan Wallins Cover
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Me Up. So were you surprised at all when I
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: put these songs together, like just even bare minimum knowing
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: about her, did you think you know this was the
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: kind of music that she listened to.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't. I don't really truly know.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't know because let's also talk about the fact
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: that I'm fifty three, and how old is she, like
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: twenty nine or twenty something.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't say she's thirty, thirty one, thirty one, Okay,
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: so we're twenty two years apart, and I don't.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know what my kids listen to, because
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: I'll hear the music here, but I don't. I wouldn't
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: have ever have guessed because I don't even know. I've
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: never heard of Fade Into You. Obviously, I know who
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Fleetwood mac bost.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: You would know fade into you if I played it
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: for you, because it's a very nineties song.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Like, oh, that's interesting.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Oh. I love that she's got these like kind of
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: like old school songs. No, I feel like, you know,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: music is such a timely thing, Like there there are
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: phases that I go through in life where I'm like, oh,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: I just want to listen to country music. Or Ryan
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: will be playing music in the background when he's cooking,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: like that's his that's his thing. Yeah, and whatever will
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: come on and I'm like, oh my gosh, I haven't
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: heard this song in whatever. Or it's like rap songs
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: from that you know, like you know every single word too, from.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: The eighties or whatever.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Like I feel like the my phases I go through phases.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: So I'm all for the fact that she's got these songs.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: It's not a surprise to me. I guess is the answer,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: because I feel like I wouldn't have known even what
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: to guess.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: You know me a little just because this last season
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: of Secret Lives, we saw them all go to stage coach,
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: so I kind of pegged her as a country music fan.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: But now I remember, if she just went or if
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: she actually liked country music like I can't remember.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: But interesting.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Nonetheless, that that is, and it's a public playlist if
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: anybody wants to go look for it.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: Oh really interesting.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, those are great songs. I love Fleetwood Mac.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, Landslide is an all time favorite.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: So good. Well, I think this next headline I need
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: to kind of break it down for you, just because
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: it's a little insider. For people that have watched the
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: season of Secret Lives, the most recent season, season three,
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: they will know this. But for anybody who doesn't, might
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: take a minute. So there is a TV show on Hulu.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: It is called vander Pump Villa. It is a new
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: show for Lisa vander Pump and it takes place at
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: a villa with her staff. One of the key staff
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: members on the show is named Marciano. Now, not to
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: get two into the weeds, Secret Live Girls, they did
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: a crossover. They went and filmed on that show. Marciano
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: had some flirty interactions with two of the girls and
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: basically I won't get too much into it, but that
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: was the core drama of this season of Secret Lives
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: of Mormon Wives season three.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: Oh okay, because they're all married.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Because they're all married, so great you there. So Marciano
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: this last week went on Harry Jowsey's podcast. Do you
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: know who Harry Joosi is?
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: No?
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: He from He is from season one of Netflix's Too
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Hot to Handle, Total like breakout star from that show.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: And so he has a podcast called boyfriend Material. He's
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: not boyfriend material. That's why it's called that understood. And
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: so you know, Marciana went on on Harry's podcast and
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: Harry said, you know, would you be going back on
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Secret Lives and Mormon wives? And Marciano said, you know,
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: if there was a good storyline for me, but there's
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: no single women, so that would be tough. He then
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: goes on to say, Taylor is Dakota's ex, and I
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: like Dakota and plus I'm pretty sure they are still
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: hooking up, to which Harry said they were when I
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: was there, which Marciano then asks when was that, to
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: which Harry says before she went to go do the thing,
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: which Marciano says, he basically heard the same thing and
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: it was very recent, and he goes, yo, that's wild.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: So they're inferring that Taylor and Dakota her ex were
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: hooking up right before she went to go film the Bachelorette. Now,
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: it's not far fetched if you've watched the show, because
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: even this last season, I said they went to Stage Coach.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: They ended up hooking up at stage Coach, but we
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: saw during the re union that they were still on
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: really bad terms. So, and we know she's filming the Bachelorette.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: So as somebody who's been in Bachelor Nation since basically
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: since the beginning, how frequent would you say it is
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: that somebody is rekindling with an ex or has somebody
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: in their life right before they go to filming.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know that I can say, like how frequent
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: is it? But what I can say is I don't
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: know that it's a good idea. You know, I would agree.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: With that, Yeah, if you are truly.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Looking for your forever person and want to be serious
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: about the Bachelorette and the opportunity there to meet your
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: forever person, then I don't know that hooking up with
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: an ex who you have children with is a good
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: idea because it just gets messy, you know, And even
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: if you didn't have children with them or a child
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: with them, I just feel like it's messy. You know,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: if I we don't want to blur lines, you know,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: you want to say, Okay, we're done with this relationship.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: I'm moving on.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: I want to be able to focus all of my
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: energy on these guys who are you know, leaving their
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: lives for a time to come meet me and see
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: if we can solidify a relationship and if we're compatible.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: And you know, I feel like some would say that
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: it's like disrespectful to the process if you're not fully
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: invested and serious. Mind you, this is Taylor's life and
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: it's what I encourage all women. My advice for anybody
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: who goes on the show is be yourself. And if
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: this is who she is, then this is who she is.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: And if she has like feelings for her ex, and
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: or if it's not just feelings and she just feels
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: like she wants to have some intimate time with her ex,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: then that's as an adult, that is her right, right.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: But I feel like for any guy who is on
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: the show, hopefully they know maybe about the fact that
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: she does still have a physical connection to her ex,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: and that's like something that I hope is addressed during taping.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, as a as a longtime viewer as well as
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: somebody who has cast multiple dating shows in their career.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: I can say that it's pretty common when it comes
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: to the contestant side. It's less common when it comes
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: to the lead. I think, like, yeah, the lead has
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: to go through a long process of talking with producers
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: over and over again, and they really producers and the
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: networks really try to suss this out. Yeahypical casting situation.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: We've already said Taylor's not a typical casting situation. But
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: typically they do this because they don't want the integrity
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: of the show to be compromised and they don't like
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: the bad press that that could bring the show. But
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: it comes to contestants, there's usually only so much that
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: they can look into. But I mean, anybody that's watched
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: the show knows that usually you get you get one
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: per season where somebody comes out and says, I was
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: dmming with that guy, or I hooked up with him
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: right before he packed his bags. Same thing with girls
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: girls that go on The Bachelor, this happens as well.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: So it is common, but more so, I would say,
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: on the contestant side than the lead side.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I just don't think it's a good idea,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: like if you're the lead, then be the lead and
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: be focused and.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: Really go.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Like use your time wisely because these guys are giving
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: up their lives to come and meet you, and you
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: need to be focused. But you know, to each their own. Okay,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: next headline and I think this will be the one
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: that we end on is so On Facebook, Taylor's ex's
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: sister in law was quoted, I believe, as posting something
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: in reference to what production has really been like for
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Taylor as a single mom. She said that, oh, she
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: called out a fake article, which I'm just going to
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: take this beat to say, do not believe anything you
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: read on Facebook. I there's so many Bachelor Nation people
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: who are being drug through the mud with lies, lies
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: and more lies, including myself who I found out that
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: I was going to be a grandma on a Facebook
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: page that is related to the Bachelor to Bachelor Nation.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: I feel like if you go on there, Jojo, they
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: constantly are talking about Jojo. They'll they'll get you with
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: a with a clickbait and say, oh, they're dealing with
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: this horrible situation or whatever, or they'll just say, oh,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Trista Sutter's going to be a grandma or Trista Sutter
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: has Alzheimer's. Oh my gosh. Anyway, so do not believe,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: especially on Facebook. Be very careful with what you believe
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: when you read but when you read Facebook. But Dakota's
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: sister in law did say she was talking about a
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: fake article that was put out on Facebook, and she
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: went on to say that Dakota has been watching Ever,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: the son they share Taylor and Dakota, while she's been filming.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: She said that Dakota and Ever have been staying in
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Idaho and Ever got to fly to see Taylor for
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: one day before the holidays. She stated that Taylor is
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: allowed to FaceTime her son when it allows. The post
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: says they will be in ut how the last few
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: weeks of the schedule, but until then, everything else is
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: being filmed in other locations. So we got some more
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: clarity in the comments of this video because Leanne, who
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: is Taylor's mom, set the record straight. She said that
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Taylor has been able to see her three kids almost weekly.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: She her mom, Taylor's mom has flown out many times
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: to locations for her to spend time with them, plus
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: she gets FaceTime calls. The kids had spent the other time,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: mostly with their dads and sometimes her grandma or the
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: grandma has ever. So I feel like it's really hard.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Like I didn't have a child's during filming. I know
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: that like Emily Maynard could talk to this, but it's
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: got to be so Jason Mesnik had a child when
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: he was The Bachelor, and maybe we should have him
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: on to talk about this. But it's got to be
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: so hard because if you don't have a child, then
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: you can, happily, for me, cut off work, right. You
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: don't have to worry about work, you can't watch your
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: television shows, you can't be on email like you can
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: basically just like fully become vested in the process because
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: you can cut off all of your other worldly ties, right,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: But you can't cut off your kids, you know, or
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: you shouldn't cut off your kids if you're a mom.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: It's not fair to them. It's and I'm sure as
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: a mom, I wouldn't want to be cut off from
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: my kids. I need them in my life every day.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: So that's got to be so difficult. And from what
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: I understood from the woman who was talking about this
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: on an Instagram post, she was talking about the Dakota's
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: sister in law's comments about the Facebook post, and she
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: was saying, you know that Taylor had gone into this
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: thinking that she would get more time, like production had
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: told her that she would get certain things, like certain
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: amounts of time that she could spend with the kids.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: But it just hasn't happened or it hasn't turned out
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: that way. And knowing anything about television production, it's like
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: that phrase hurry up and wait, like you just never
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: know what's going to happen, right, so you have to
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: be on the fly. And even though I'm sure they
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: had very good intentions of Taylor seeing her kids more
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: than maybe she's seen them, I feel like it is
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: television and I guarantee you in her contract there was
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: there was something that was said like.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: Whatever, whatever you're in.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Expecting, expect the unexpected, essentially, you know, like because things
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: change and we cannot guarantee that you're going to be
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: able to see your kids as much as you hope.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: Probably, Yeah, And we had leanne On, you know a
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: little bit after the announcement of Taylor, and what he
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: was kind of saying is the older kids are obviously
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: in school, so they're the ones that are probably seeing
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: her the least because they have to stay on routine. Ever,
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: being a baby is probably the one that's getting the
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: more one on one time with her.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: Now, I don't really think.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: That there's necessarily truth to this he didn't see her
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: for twenty days comment, because it seems like her mom
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: is uh, you know, clarifying that in the comments, So
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: we don't really know, but it sounds like face timing
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: is definitely happening.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, which is something that I feel like, Thank goodness
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: they have that capability because it's the next best thing
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: compared to, you know, being in person, so and it's
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: better than a phone call. So at least you get
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: to see each other face to face and she can
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: show ever like what's going on around her, so that
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: he's not, you know, worried about where mom is and
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: what she's doing. So I feel like that that's a
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: good second option. Of course, I know that as a mom,
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: I'm sure Taylor would much rather have her kids in
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: her arms and be able to see them face to face,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: but at least they do have FaceTime.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, Trista, thanks so much for joining me on
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: this Franky Friday.
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: Thanks for having me. Did you feel it was so fun.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: You feel like you know Taylor a little bit more.
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: After this, I do.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: I feel like this is a great option for people
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: who don't watch Secret Lives and want to know more
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: about her instead of just putting it into Chat or
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: going on Google. So thank you Almost Famous.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: Thanks Trista, You're the best. Hie Heather
