• 0:18
  Speaker 1: setting for you. It looks like you're in some plush,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: luxurious hotel, fantasy suite of sorts. Look at you. Oh, yes,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: the fantasy suite. I can't tell you the details just yet,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: but I'm in l A for just a couple of days,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: real quick trip away from the fam, away from the
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: home and uh and I'll fill in later. All right,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: are you there doing anything with anyone we may know?
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: That's all I would like to ask. Is there anyone
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: we may know? So, Ashley I invited me to come
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: to l A for an event that she's hosting. So
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: very really excited to be able to see her and
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: a few other people that everyone may know. A networking
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: friendships that come as a result of handing out flowers.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: That's right, hey, um, And speaking of friendships made as
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: a result of handing out flowers, guess who I got
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: to see last night? I was like, who can have
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: dinner with me? Who can have dinner with me? And um,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Lisa Levinson I got to sit next to last night
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: and have drinks with Yeah, oh my gosh, one of
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: our executive producers from back in the day. She's an
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: She is an o g she was they're from the
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: beginning like creating the show and had her hand and everything.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: I honestly owe her and Flice and all the EPs
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: so much. I feel like they really we're looking out
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: for me, her especially so you know, I always say
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: that the producers, um, they want a happy ending because
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: because validates the show, because you know, people want to
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: see a happy ending. I think a lot of people
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: assume that they just want the drama. But I know,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: at least when it was my season, they wanted a
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: happy ending. They wanted to do everything possible for me
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: to find my happy ending. So I think they needed
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: it anyway. You know, I think that the franchise, the
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: franchise needed it, and so it was one of those
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: things that would validate the show. And I mean, you know,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: you probably gave him an extra ten seasons just from
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: rejecting rejecting my affections and turning your head, turning your
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: head to Ryan Sutter because the fact that I rejected
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: your affections made you the Bachelor, So that just continued
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the franchise even longer. Excellent point, just excellent. So if
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: you're just tuning into our show, you will know that
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago we started this little fun
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: project where we're kind of filling in for for Ben
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: and Ashley, and we went through trista season with a
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: fine tune with comb and then last week we went
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: through mine. Just the first episode though, shying you. Yeah,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: just first and and I have to say that, Sorry
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I'm interrupting you, but I do have to say that
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: the episode about my season, it says my ment my women,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: my mentell all. But we definitely didn't go there. So
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: if you're listening to if you go back and listen
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: to that episode, it wasn't my mental all was my
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: first episode. And maybe we'll get to the menteal ally
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: episodes because that could be fun. Anyway, go ahead, Sorry, yes, no,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: no problem. And then it was a hot seat. I
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: felt like I was in the hot seat last week,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: especially considering the fact that we had my runner up
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: on the show, Kelly Joe, who joined us. If you
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: if you you know, we're only able to listen and
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: you didn't get to see the clips we posted. She
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: was in the in the stylist chair getting her hair
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: did with the foils in there. And then Julie Smith
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: joined us. He was also on my season, and we've
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: had a great friendship. That's that's growing out of the
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Kentucky Derby that started with The Bachelor of course, but um,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: you know, we had kicked her out a couple of ideas,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: and one of the things we threw out there last
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: week was to put out some questions to our listeners,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: the people that have been listening in for us. And
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I've been getting a ton of awesome feedback on the show,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: by the way, so that's been really nice. And there
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: were some great questions that came along, a couple that
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I think we probably would already know the answer to
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: right like, for example, um, you know, I think did
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: they give this was something that I thought I was
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: making fun of you the first week saying that you know, Trista,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: as you can see, she's already got a stylist in
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: the glam squad there in the hotel. Just I mean
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: I did, Yes, I will back up I did have
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: a style list, but she wasn't Carrie Fetman. Like you
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: were like, did you have Carrie Fetman? I did, but
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: she wasn't Carrie Fetman, and she was great, but I
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: pretty much had chosen. There's a really on story. I
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: don't know if you want to hear it, um, but
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I had pretty much gone shopping for all of my stuff.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I set up this thing at sacks um and got
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: all of the clothing. Um. So I had a stylist
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: kind of helping me organize which days I would wear
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: which outfits. But it was not Karrie Fetman who was
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: going after the you know, the big brands and asking them,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: you know, if I could wear their their beautiful gowns. Yeah,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: it was Cary Carry definitely brought a different Carrie Fetman
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: came on, I believe right after your season. I'm not
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: sure if he was with Andrew or Aaron, but I
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: know he was on my season. Stylist came in all
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, you know, the the fashion level went
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: through the roof, right, because Carrie's pretty great at that stuff.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: And I remember he he got me a tuxedo to
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: wear to the Emmy's which was really cool. Yeah, so
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: I had a tuxedo to wear, which I thought was
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: pretty awesome. You know. Unfortunately I don't even think I
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: could fit my sigh in it now. But back in
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: the time, back in the day, it fit me like
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: a glove. Now it's like trying to, you know, where
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: my kid's glove. But yeah, we got some questions, and
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: a couple of are pretty specific, and one of them
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I thought that was pretty interesting, you know, and I think, um,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: you know, we both know the answer to this one.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Do you think your life would be different after the
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: show if social media was around when we were the
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: leads of the show, And I I definitely think that that. Uh,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: We've said it a lot that the show would be
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: very different, um, and our lives would be very different, um,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: because we didn't have to deal with that, So I
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: can say this honestly, I was lucky. I was on
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: the beginning of when, um, social media kind of started,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: or I shouldn't even say the beginning. It was more like,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: basically there was chat rooms that were pretty prevalent during
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: the time of me being on The Bachelor, and man,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: it was brutal, Like I literally had no idea how
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: to even access the chat rooms. So I just had
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: the luxury of people bringing it up to me when
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: they would meet me and tell me, oh, yeah, you know,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I was reading on the chat boards that you know,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: you have an Ogilvie homeperm. I'm like what, so you
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: know it was never nice stuff, very nice stuff. I'm like, no,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: this is a natural sister. But you know, how about you?
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Do you think that things would have been a whole
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: lot different with I'm sure with you know, social media
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: and stuff, especially with you being the first woman doing
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: the show. Oh for sure. Uh, people I don't think
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: would have been well, okay, so I'll say that during
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: my season there were message boards. You you know, you
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: talked about the chat rooms. There were message boards, and
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I have a little bit of technological savviness in me,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: and I did look at all of those and they
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: were not fun to look at. So I feel like
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: the level of the message boards is maybe down here,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: but Instagram and Facebook everything would have been way higher
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: and way um more intrusive, way wayney nerve um. So
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I definitely think things would have affected me in a
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: in a negative way because I'm very sensitive and even
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: though you know, going through this process you have to
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: have a thicker skin. You just have to or you
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: will not survive it because people come out of the
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: woodwork just criticizing everything about you. I mean, I was
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: criticized for the way I walked, the way I talked,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: my baby talk. Oh god. I mean to this day,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: if I do a story or something and I'm talking,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: you know, when you're talking to your kids, your babies,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: or your dog, you know which I always talk baby
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: talk to my dog. Oh look at your fie beer,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: you know, or whatever, I'm like, Oh, I can't. I
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: can't sound like like, you can't use my baby talk
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: voice because people will criticize me because that's what they
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: did back then. So you have to have a thick skin.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: But I think it's really really difficult being in that position.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: And yet I it would have been really hard for me. Well,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: I would hear like one, I would hear like five
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: nice things and they would just be like, you know,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: not that they were wasted on me, but it would
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: just be like, and then I hear one mean thing,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: and man, it would stick with me for a week,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: you know, And it was brutal. So I can only
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: imagine with social media being the way it is now,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: and someone going through their in the microscope, you know, Um,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: I mean I don't think that. You know. The question
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: that we got was do you think that you would
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: your your life would be the same. Do you think
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: your life would be different after the show if social
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: media was around when you were the lead. I don't
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: think my life would have been different because I do
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: think that um, Ryan and I had a very strong
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: bond and worked on it after the show regardless. But
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I do think it would have been way harder. Yeah, agreed,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: no doubt about it. You know. I think that was
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: a great question too. And another question I saw in
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: here that I thought was really uh topical and relevant
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: was for me specifically, says Bob, is your wife ever
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: watched your season? And what is she thinking? So the
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: answer that is, no, she's never gotten to see my season.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Allegedly now her mom her mom, her mom was a
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: big fan of of of your season and my season,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: and um, but Canyon Jessica was in her senior in
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: high school slash freshman year in college, so she was like,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: you know, well, you know, I may have watched Tris
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: this season, but no offense, you're too old for me.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: I would have you know, like too old for you.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: We're married. She's like, well then then you then you
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: know so. But she found out the other day. I
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: told her that I watched the first episode the other
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: night and that I couldn't stand my voice, my hair
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: and half the things that came out of my mouth.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: And she's like, read a minute, because you know, it's
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: been difficult to find um. And she's like, hold on, wait,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: you were able to watch it. I want to watch it.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: I'm like, are you sure because you've only seen the
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: only episode she's ever gotten to see was on TiVo.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: My brother in law TiVo the whole season thinking that
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: cutting edge technology would still be around, and clearly doesn't.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: He plugged it into his TV. It was kind of
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: in black and white, which sort of helps her joke
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: because she likes to say those kind of things. And
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: it was basically like where I was the kissing bandit
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: in this one particular episode and every time she turned around,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I'm like making out with somebody. She was just like, Okay,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: I've seen enough. I told her. I'm like, okay, we're
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: gonna watch it. We have you know, when we moved
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: back to Michigan, we redid our basement. We have a
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: movie room in our basement, so I'm going to stream
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: it to the movie screen so she can actually watch
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: it in uh, you know, big screen magic. So we'll
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: see how that goes, all right. Have you ever been
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: to the Bachelor mansion that they used today? Short answer, No,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: I've been past it. I've actually ridden past it, and
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: uh I was invited to it probably three or four times,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: but I have not been able to go to it.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: As of interest, I know you have been. I have.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: I went. The first time I went was for an
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: event that um Sean and I were handing out roses
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: to the media and we invited the media to come
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: in and see, and I think at that point in
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: time it was the first time that the media had
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: been invited inside, so that was kind of exciting. And
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: then the second I believe I don't think I've been
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: more than two times. The second time was for the
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Bachelor at reunion that we taped. I think it was
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: two years ago, maybe three, and that was so much fun.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think the one of the obviously, the
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: thing that I'm most am grateful for because of this
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: experience is my husband and the life that we've created.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: But the second thing that I'm most grateful for is
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: the friendships and to be able to meet all of
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: these women that all share one you know, this this
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: really rare thing in common to be able to you know,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: be the lead on this show that has been around
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: for you know, um almost twenty years. But it's really
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: part of pop culture, and I'm just grateful for that.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: So it was really really fun. And my daughter was
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: there because it was springbreak and we had, honestly it
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: timing worked out. We had planned to go to l
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: A for spring break, so I brought her along and
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: she got to meet all the girls, and at least
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: until that point, so it was um who was the
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: last one? Hannah wasn't there? I think it was probably,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Wasn't Rachel there? Rachel? Rachel? It was Rachel.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: So Rachel. I remember the photos from that. I remember
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: the pictures from that, and it looked like it was
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: just a ton of fun. I mean, I would love
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: if they did something like that for the guys too.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: I would I would love that, But but I also
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: understand that it's it's actually probably a lot more fun
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: to see all the all the girls together that it
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: would be to see all the guys together necessarily, you know,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: I would love to see how I would love for
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: all of us to get together. I would wish they
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: would do because the anniversary, Um, I feel like that
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: would be a big one if it's still around. I
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: really wish. Maybe I'll even write Flice and be like, dude,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: come on, get on party planning. Let's put something together
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: and invite everybody, like you're right, because that's like the
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: silver you know, you know, the silver anniversary of Sours, right,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: that's what that is. And I think that'd be pretty
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: cool to do. I mean, yeah, I agree with you.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: I think that'd be awesome. I think it be a
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: ton of fun. Um. Yeah, and we you and I
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: have talked about a couple of the questions that popped
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: up on here. One. Um, do your kids know what
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: the show is? And how does the show where? You know?
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: I know for you that they do for me. My
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: kids are three and nine months old. So yeah, I talked.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: I talked about it daily. You might be surprised, of course,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: of course, why wouldn't you. This is a good one.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: So did you get uh, do you still have the
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: same wedding ring that the same engagement ring that Ryan
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: proposed on the show to you with or do you
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: have another? So on the show at that point in time,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Neil Lane was not working with the show. So I
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: received a Harry Winston ring, and right right, I think
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: they had kind of like a deal with them at
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: that point. And so it was like an emerald cut, um,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: and then too like side diamonds. I don't know what
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: you call it. So that that gets thank you the
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: diamond world. So, um, I love diamonds. I just don't
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: know a lot about them. So anyway, that's in my
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: safe that I have. I'm saving for maybe one of
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: the kids to use in some way. I don't do
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: something with it later because when we celebrated our tenth
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: wedding anniversary, we did a vow renewal on the show.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Actually we wanted to do something kind of more our style,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: and so we had of our renewal up in Beaver
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Creek with um, you know, just a small group of people, um,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: and that at that point in time, Neil Lane was
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: part of the picture, and UM, Ryan got me a
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Neil Lane. Um. I don't have it on today, but
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: I got a Neil Lane ring. At that point in
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: time and this ring is my um is my two
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Corey ring. That was my one of my I actually
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: got two bands, two wedding bands from them, and I
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: were this one every day. I mean that's pretty yeah
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: all the time. Thank you. Kenyan has something like that,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: like an eternity band, and she has a couple of those,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: and you know, um, you know same. I mean she
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: was you know, she wasn't obviously the person I gave
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: the ring to. I do remember I gave the ring
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: to Estella, which was also a Harry Winston ring, and
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: she ended up selling it, and I remember did oh yeah,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: after this became the from what I learned later, became
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: the Guinea rule that they had to stay together a
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: certain period of time or they had to give the
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: ring back. That's a little really, a little gossip for
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: you that I heard years later, because because she she
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: was able to sell that thing and make some some jack,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: I would say, oh my god, could you imagine I
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: mean that those rings. I thought I remember reading somewhere
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: that it was it was like or something like that.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: That could be totally wrong, That could be totally wrong. Yeah,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: but I thought I remembered reading that somewhere and I
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: was like, well, that's nice. Good for her, you know.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't even get it. I get come on, UM,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: just kidding, just kidding everyone. Okay, So another question that
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: I thought was on there that was really interesting, Um,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: do you think you would still know? I know the
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: answers to our questions because you and I are similar
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: in this regard. Do you still still think you would
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: go on the show in today's world? Will all the
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: changes one in the franchise? I would imagine your answer
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: is probably similar to mine. I love the way my
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: life has worked out. Obviously the answer would be yes,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: because you know, if this led me to that, But
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: given the landscape of the world we live in today,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like it would it would
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: be a lot different show than when you and I
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: did it, you know, and we've we've lived through the
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: aftermath of the show in today's world, but we haven't
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: been the lead of the show in today's world. And
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: I honestly, I wonder to myself, like, I definitely say
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: that yes, I would do it, um, because it would
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: lead me to life I have today. But I wonder
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: if I would really think a little more long and
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: hard about it. Given how it. I mean, it's totally different, right.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: I mean we when we went on the show, we
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: didn't come off of their selling tooth whitening kids. We
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: didn't even you know. I mean it was one of
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: those things like people have turned this into an industry
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: almost and um, I think peripherally you and I have
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: been a part of that, but not not that the
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: way that you know some people are today. I mean,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: so Ryan aside, you know, finding your love match and
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: having the life that you guys have had for almost
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: twenty years. Do you think if you were you know,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: you were the Trista, the Trista Wren that was you know,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: on the show twenty years ago and they came to
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: today and said, hey, we want you to do this.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Do you think you do it? I? Oh, I definitely
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: would you know? And it kind of also ties into
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: whether or not the question I think we got a
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: question about would you have your kids do the show?
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: And it ties in a little bit to that and
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: that for me, I feel like I would be a
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: hypocrite if I said that I wouldn't do the show
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: because just because of how the changes and how it's evolved,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: because I ultimately met the man of my dreams, and
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: you know, we created a successful life. So I know
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: you said Ryan aside, but I really can't put that
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: aside because he is the whole reason I did the
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: show and and we have made it work. So because
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: love was my end game, you know, I wanted to
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: find love. That was my goal. That was my biggest
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: dream that I wanted to meet someone and fall in
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: love and create a successful life, um together, I I
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: couldn't say no to the possibility of doing again if
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: if the you know, if the past wasn't the past,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: and I was asked now. Also, I feel like in
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: the same regard, I couldn't tell my kids that they
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: can't do the show because that's how I met their dad. Now,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: I would give them lots of coaching and tell them
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: kind of what I know, what I know of how
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: producers ask questions and um you know, like making sure
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: that you are very conscious about what you're saying and
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: who you're saying it too, and always being kind and
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: you know, thinking about because I've always said, they cannot
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: put words in your mouth. What they can do is
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: take the words and and mix them up a little bit.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: But they cannot put words in your mouth. So if
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: you never say something, they can't use it. So never
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: be sarcastic, you know, because always sarcasm can bite you
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: in the butt if you say it and it's taken
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: out of context and shown on the show for under
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: something else, not with your face, like they just used
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: your audio. So I think that there would be a
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: lot of coaching. I I couldn't say that I would
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: want them to do it. But in the same regard,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: like I said, I can't, I couldn't be a hypocrite
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: and say no, you can't do it because I did
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: it exactly. No, Yeah, I mean that's the same for me.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Like I mean, I think if you know, because you
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: gave me a lot of that same advice. I came
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: to you before I did the show, and um, you know,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: you gave me a lot of that same advice, which
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: I think is very sound advice. And over the years,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: oddly enough, I've been reached out to quite a bit
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: over the years when someone's been yeah, but you know,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: often more often than not, it's been by by women
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: who I know through like friends. Yeah, Like I'll know
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: him through friends and stuff, and they'll reach out and
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: they'll they'll be like one of the contestants going on
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: the Bachelor that season, or it'll be like a guy
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: who's one of the guys going on the Bachelorette that season.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: And um, not as much by the leads actually as
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: it has been, although that's happened once or twice, but
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: it's mostly been by people who call on the show.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: And I've often said I've given the pretty much exact
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: same advice that you just gave, you know, which was basically,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: you know, don't don't allow yourself to get so swept
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: up in things that you get manipulated to be somewhat
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: to be shown as something that you're not. If you're kind,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: If you're kind, be kind, because the camera sees that,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: and it's like, you know, even if you make bad decisions,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: you're still a kind person. They can't take that away
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: from you. And you know, at the end of the day,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Like for me especially, I'm always a jokester and making
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: you know, wise cracks and stuff of that nature, mostly
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: against myself, but you know, I was very mindful of that.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: You know, during the season of The Bachelor, I didn't
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: want to say something like I remember this girl, Um,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Jenny Hargrove who's on my season, who I've cut in
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: touch with over the years also via like social media
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: and stuff. And she was awesome. You know, she's she's
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: married a couple of beautiful kids. Actually she's she's dating again.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: She's she's divorced, but um she uh. She brought a
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: harmonica onto my season of the show, and she would
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: just she's from Texas. You know, she'd have a Kyle
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: girl had on and she'd just be like playing the
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: harmonica randomly. Uh. And I remember it was so different
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: and funny that I loved it. So we'd be like
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: doing something ridiculous. I'm like, Jenny, give me, give me
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: a two, and she's like, wow, you know, just all
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: of a sudden started playing. And I remember, like I
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: told her, I'll never forget. I said to her, like
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: during the season, I was like, hey, just f y.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: I I love it when you do that, and I
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: think you're really good at it. I hope you don't
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: think I'm making funny. I'm just I'm enjoying it and
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: it's so different and it's just lighthearted, and I really
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: think it's you know, it's making me comfortable to have
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: someone to play off of and have some fun with
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: so I hope, and she was adorable, you know, she
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: was super nice about it, and you know, but I
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: remember thinking, oh my god, I I laid it in
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: better wake one night, going I need to let her
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: know that I'm not making fun of her, like she
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: needs to know where it's coming from, because I was concerned,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: you know, I was really concerned about it. And um,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: you know that's the stuff that people at home don't know, right,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: so that could have been twisted a million ways. Thankfully,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: the producers were very kind to me. Um, you know,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: they definitely you know, uh didn't use me. I guess
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: myself in those circumstances, which was you know, and I
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: think they can. I think they can for sure. Um.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: And that also goes into like I think there was
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: a question about, uh, did you give anyone advice? And
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: same for me. I feel like now even though you
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: and I, well, I mean, your relationship obviously didn't work out,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: but for me, like we've been the longest relationship. And
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: I really think it's interesting that they have it's all
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: about who is the person of the times, Like go
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: on social media, see who's got the most following, and
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: they'll have that person give the people advice. UM, when
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, so I guess an almost twenty year
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: relationship doesn't doesn't doesn't weren't giving advice. So I used
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: to get asked, um for advice with the leads who
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: were coming up, you know who we're going to be taping.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: But now it's like even if I get like all
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: usually DM everybody who goes on the show and say congratulations,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: good luck. If you ever need to talk, I'm here,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: and you know, some of them don't even respond. I'm like, yeah, awesome, thanks,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: good luck. They're like, I'm already sorry. I have a
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: root Beer commercial to do on my Instagram exactly. Um No,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: I think you know, I get it. I'm the old
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Fogy Lisa. Last night, Um, Lisa and I were talking
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: about how we're dinosaurs, and we are I always use
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: that term. I feel like we're just in relative terms,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: we are dinosaurs when it comes to with the franchise.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: So it's all good. I I still am happy to
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: give advice, but I feel like the producers, you know, obviously,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: just want the people who they feel like are going
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: to get the most viewers to watch, and there is
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: the people with the biggest following. I mean, to be
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: quite honest, that's I feel like how it's going to
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: go down all the time from until the end of
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: the show. Yeah, I agree. Okay, here's another good one
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: that I thought was interesting. Um well, it's kind of
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: this question. What we got from one of our listeners
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: actually is one question, but I want to twist at
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: a touch. So their question was, you know, do you
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: ever look at the dates they go on now and
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: how glamorous and amazing they are and wish that you
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: had that during your season, Which we can answer that too,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: but I also want to ask because I have something
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: specific I need to talk about, which is so funny. Um,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: what was the you know, the biggest train wreck date
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: that you had? Um? So you know it's two parts, right,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: So the first part is the glamour and the glitz
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: and the wonderment. Um, and the second part would be
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: you know, did did anything goes sideways that no one
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: ever got to see at home? That was bananas? So
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: you start alright, so glamour, I mean, please, I'm a
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: girly girl. I love my glamor. I would love to
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: have had more glamorous dates, but even more than that,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: I would love to have traveled. Um And I've said
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: this since like since my show ended and they started,
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: you know, upping the budget and allowing, um or not
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: allowing planning for international travel. I mean that was one
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: of the reasons that I signed up for the show
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Night NIGHTTI people and like we're going to the Netherlands.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: It's like, let I went to Jackson Whole, Wyoming on
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: an exotic date right the same so and they had
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: two seasons. I think one was in Paris with trying
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: to Stork I believe, and then wasn't one in Italy
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: or yes? Yes, so you know I please. I love travel.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: I am obsessed with travel. I would have loved that
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: type of lamour and are you kidding to be in
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: gowns like they are now? Like I'm a girly girl.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: I would have loved all of that train wrecked date.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: So I know that you probably could could have answered
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: this for me. But what people didn't see. I don't
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: believe they showed this to people the back story, um I.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: And and you know when you when you're the lead,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: they go through like what kind of dates you would
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: like to go on? I'm sure they still do it. Um.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: What kind of dates you'd like to go on, what
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: your interests are, what you're scared of, because you know
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: they're going to get you to do something that you're
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: scared of, um, things like that. So they do kind
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: of like a questionnaire or the producers just have a
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: conversation with you and and then they planned dates supportingly.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: So I don't know that this ever came up, but um,
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: my cousin was twenty one and he was he raised
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: go carts and he actually got in a very bad
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: accident and um and passed away because of this accident,
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: and they planned a go karting date. And so I
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: get there and I was like, wait, what we're go karting?
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Do people not listen to me? Like my cousin passed away.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: I know I had talked about it, um, So I
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: don't know if they did it because they thought it
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: would bring drama or thought it would like connect me
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: to the guys. But I was like, just just getting
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: to the go cart place, I was I think I
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: had to separate myself. I think I did like welcome,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: we're here, and then I just broke down and was
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: in tears. I remember that I was on I was
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: actually on that date. I remember it well. I remember
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: we're all like geared up in these like race car uniforms,
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: and you were really upset, and I remember thinking, you know,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: what is going on because obviously we didn't know. And
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: then when we did find out, we're like, where, why
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: are we even here? Let's just go do something else,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: you know. I remember that. But then that rallied me,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: like I was like, you know what, I don't want
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: this to affect the date. Let's just have fun with it,
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: and and it helped me kind of get past that trauma.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, I was like, really, did
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: you plan this on purpose? Or I have to choose
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: to believe that they didn't plan it on the face
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: And they too, you know, I mean because they loved you,
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: so I can't imagine that they would want to put you,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: you know, in a situation like that night. And I
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: do remember, I mean, well, I actually I don't remember.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: I should say I don't remember if they ever showed
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: the drama portion of that on the season. I don't
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: think they did. Yeah, um, so I guess technically then
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: I was a part of two train wreck dates because
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: I was on that one and then uh one from
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: my own season, but I'll answered the first part. So yeah,
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: you know, I would have loved I got to go
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: to Belize on one of my exotic dates Jackson hold
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Wyoming and then uh, Kelly, Joe and I went to
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: the top of a glacier in Alaska, so those were
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: pretty cool. Believes was with Estella. That was amazing, and
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: then Jackson hold Wyoming was with Mary and that was
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: really beautiful too, even though you know, they were all
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: kind of really domestic except the Belize thing. That was
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: really kind of fun. Um. But but yeah, I would
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: have loved to, you know, especially when we were on
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: trist this season. It would have been so great for
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: all fifteen of us to get to take off and
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: you know, head to you know, Thailand or something like
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: they do now. It's that have been amazing. But train
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Wreck dates, I'll never forget this because it started off, Um,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: it was with Meredith who later became the Bachelorette. It
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: started off with me finding out that her grandma had
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: passed away, and um, and I was super close with
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: my grandparents and so I was just like Meridith passed
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: away during filming. During filming. Yeah, like they came the
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: priests come out to the car. I'm like getting ready
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: to come into the date and they're like, hey, Bob,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: f y I Meredith's grandmother passed away. I'm like, oh
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: my god, so she's going home right, and they're like, no,
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: she she has decided to stay. And I'm like what.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: I'm like, guys, I'll be honest, if my grandmother passed away,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: I would leave the show right now. And I'm like
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: she should do the same, you know. So I remember
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: she and I had a moment where we talked, and
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: I don't even know. I don't recall because, like I said,
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, I was I was never able to really
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: watch the season where I was able to like sit
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: down and really absorb. But I can't remember if that
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: was covered too much in the episode. But on that date,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: I remember saying to her, like, listen, you don't have
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: to go through with this, because she was the person
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: who was going to have the one on one date
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: for that episode. So I'm like, we don't have to
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: go through with this. We can just go sit in
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: a restaurant and talk if you want. You know, I'm
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: so sorry, you know, you're sure you don't want to
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: go home? Like I was really trying to encourage her, frankly,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: to to go home and see her family. But um,
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: we ended up doing that when we did the hometown dates,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: which was like two episodes later. Oh. But anyway, we
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: go on this date, and I mean, so I'm trying
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: to be sensitive to the circumstances, you know, and we
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: take this car, this limo, this stretch limo down to
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: Seal Beach in California there and yet we get to
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: Seal Beach and I'm like, oh, we're at the beach,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: you know. And and I'm thinking of the beach state
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: that we were on and I'm like, oh, I bet
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: you they're gonna have something buried in the sand, you know.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: So I'm like already kind of thinking about it. They
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: haven't really prepped me yet, because I think this kind
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: of was I don't know exactly where this episode was going,
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: but it was kind of at this point almost felt
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: like we were spitballing things. So we go out to
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: the beach and they have a couple of horses waiting
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: for us. So we're supposed to kick our shoes off,
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: frolic around the beach with our jeans and and and such,
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: and it's hot, it's yeah, I'm frolic go. Why don't
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: you guys go frolic and covert and then mount this
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: steed and ride down the beach. I'm like, okay, So
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: I've got on jeans and uh, you know, like a
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: like a long sleeve shirt with the sleeves rolled up,
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: and I can't remember what she's got on something similar,
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: and you know, we're in Clearly they knew we were
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: gonna be horseback riding. So we both get on the
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: horses and we're like, you know, get up and down
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: the beach. And I'm not I'm not a particularly good
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: horse rider. I haven't got a ton of experience cowboying
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: since watching yellow Stone. I think now i'd be badass
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: on the horse. But then so anyway, I'm riding down
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: the beach and and I'm trying to make conversation, you know,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: because obviously quiet is not good television. They would always
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: tell us, right, So I'm like, I'm like talk and
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: she's on the horse, and she's like, I'm like, I go,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: I go, hey, is everything okay? Because she's like, you know,
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, she you could tell she's having an allergy
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: reaction and she's like, I don't know, maybe I'm allergic
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: to horses, you know. And let me just let me
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: just preface this. I'm not sure that this is how
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: this story goes, but this is how I remember it.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: It's twenty years so cut me some slack up. I'm wrong.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: But anyway, I'm like, so, I'm like galloping and she's
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: like and I go, oh my gosh, you know what
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: I said, Hey, you are right, And she's like, I'm
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: allergic to horses. And I'm like, oh, I'm so sorry.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: Oh heck, you know, shucks, she knew before. No, She's like,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: I think I might be. The way I remember is
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: I think I might pay. But obviously this wasn't on
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: the on the questionnaire that they had given her, you know,
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: pre ship. So we ride over to this, yeah, we
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: keep we stay on the horses. We ride down to
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: where this, and they wanted us to go on the
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: water and such, you know, like the horses do. So
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: we get down to like this glamorous sand castle that
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: I had prepped ahead of time that I constructed out
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: of yes, because I just had some spare time on
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: seashells and sand and other things. And uh so we
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: go up and we're hanging out at the sand the
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: sand shack that I had prepared for us, and there's
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: a smoldering you know, the big leaves over the hole.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh, I I prepared us a snack
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: and I pull out a basket of shellfish as we
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: would do. Oh she's allergic shellfish. I literally, I mean,
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: I literally go seriously, Like any anybody asked this poor lady.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: I'm like, she's having basically anaphylectic shock on our date.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Her grandmother just pas, for God's sake, people, Oh no,
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: start cars, everybody. That is horrible. That's how I remember it. Anyway,
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: maybe that's not exactly, but I will tell you that
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: as memory sirs, I remember thinking to myself like, oh
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: my god, this has got to be Like I feel
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: so bad right now that you know I granted, I
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: mean granted, you know, you do it, you mind off
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: of things. But I'm like, so, yeah, I took her
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: mind off of things because she was too itchy and
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: she's been scratching, been a drill, you know, just like
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: my allergic reaction. When we were in Uh I told
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: you that, I know. But when we were in Alaska
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: and I you know, had some vodka and Alaska King
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: crab legs and I wake up to getting like Benador
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: elotion rubbed all over me because I had an allergic
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: reaction similar you know, similar things. So I'm sure something
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: that nowadays, but back then, yeah, pretty crazy. I want
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: to go back and watch that episode and see what
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: they actually aired, you know, see. And I want to
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: go back to the Gookard episode and see what they
