Speaker 1: but just for any new listeners or inconsistent listeners, Bob
4:09
Speaker 1: and Trista they interview like Bachelor throwbacks. Some are huge
4:14
Speaker 1: Bachelor throwbacks, like Claire Crawley, who I think is an evergreen.
4:18
Speaker 1: I wouldn't really call her a throwback, um but I
4:21
Speaker 1: but then you also interview people that a lot of
4:23
Speaker 1: people may not remember, or they may remember as soon
4:27
Speaker 1: as you guys start talking to them, you're like, oh
4:29
Speaker 1: my gosh, I totally that storyline is somewhere in my memory,
4:34
Speaker 1: but I would have never thought of it until now. Anyway, Um, guys,
4:38
Speaker 1: you you know, your friends were all friends with Chris
4:42
Speaker 1: Harrison and he is kind of coming out of the
4:44
Speaker 1: woodwork with a new podcast with I Heart Radio, and
4:50
Speaker 1: you're all really really excited. Um. It was announced this
4:54
Speaker 1: week and it is the brainchild of Amy Sugarman, who
4:59
Speaker 1: is also you know, she's also the founder of the
5:02
Speaker 1: almost famous franchise Now, So Chris is in good hands.
5:08
Speaker 1: He had a teaser come out this week in which
5:12
Speaker 1: he was talking about like, you know, it's been two years.
5:15
Speaker 1: He's never really talked in in depth about what happened,
5:20
Speaker 1: especially with time removed. He has not done an interview since, um,
5:27
Speaker 1: you know, not being the host of the Bachelor. So
5:31
Speaker 1: what what are your thoughts, what are your anxieties legal,
5:35
Speaker 1: what's going to happen? I'm just I just know that
5:37
Speaker 1: that first episode is going to get a million downloads.
5:42
Speaker 1: I'll be listening watching. However, I can you know, tap
5:46
Speaker 1: into that. I'm excited for him. You know, we got
5:49
Speaker 1: together um out in uh at I Heeart in Vegas
5:53
Speaker 1: and I got to hang with him just for a
5:55
Speaker 1: little bit and at the time, you know, I didn't
5:57
Speaker 1: know anything was was in the works. So I'm very
6:00
Speaker 1: excited for him in that regard. And you know, I
6:02
Speaker 1: think it's it's it's time, right. I mean, the guy
6:05
Speaker 1: was in everybody's living room for ever and then all
6:08
Speaker 1: of a sudden just wasn't and so it's, um, you know,
6:11
Speaker 1: it would be nice for him to have an opportunity
6:13
Speaker 1: to to you know, And I mean, you know, in
6:16
Speaker 1: large part, I think a lot of it is just reflection, right,
6:18
Speaker 1: having a little time to have some retrospect and look
6:21
Speaker 1: back and be able to say, well, this is you know,
6:23
Speaker 1: I could have done this, I should have done that,
6:25
Speaker 1: or or whatever. Um. But you know, ultimately, I think,
6:28
Speaker 1: you know, he knows that a lot of people out
6:30
Speaker 1: there really care about him and care about what he
6:32
Speaker 1: has to say. And I'm excited to hear. I'm definitely
6:35
Speaker 1: excited to tune in. Yeah, me too. I feel like
6:38
Speaker 1: there's so many couples that have come about from The
6:43
Speaker 1: Bachelor and Bachelorette that he was a part of. He
6:46
Speaker 1: was a big part of Ryan and I's relationship on
6:49
Speaker 1: the show. He married so many couples, um, And so
6:53
Speaker 1: I think that because people you know, have brought us
6:57
Speaker 1: into their living rooms and really all in love with
7:01
Speaker 1: our love stories that, Um, he was a big part
7:04
Speaker 1: of that. So I know that there are so many
7:06
Speaker 1: people who are who have been rooting for him. I
7:09
Speaker 1: will say I I reached I've reached out to him
7:11
Speaker 1: a couple of times, and he hasn't responded to my text.
7:14
Speaker 1: So I'm really curious to see if he's going to
7:16
Speaker 1: say like people that he's mad at and if I'm
7:19
Speaker 1: going to be one of them, and if I what
7:21
Speaker 1: did I do? Like, I want to know what I
7:23
Speaker 1: did wrong? You know. Um, I've always been in his
7:26
Speaker 1: corner and and I wish him nothing but the best,
7:30
Speaker 1: including his relationship with Lauren. I love them. They're like
7:35
Speaker 1: they're like family, you know, like all Bachelor Nation is
7:38
Speaker 1: to me. So, um, I'm really excited for it. We're
7:42
Speaker 1: actually going to play the teaser right now, so people
7:45
Speaker 1: aren't even yeah yeah, wait, so I'm gonna say that again. Well,
7:48
Speaker 1: let's actually play the teaser right now. We're ready. Audio
7:52
Speaker 1: is good? Do you feel ready? I think, um, well, nervous.
7:58
Speaker 1: I have not spoken publically for two years about this,
8:02
Speaker 1: and I have a lot of thoughts and I've I
8:05
Speaker 1: think about this every day, truly, every day of my life.
8:08
Speaker 1: I think about this and what I want to say
8:10
Speaker 1: and how important it is that I speak to ever
8:15
Speaker 1: for the first time. So it's heavy. It's really heavy. Um,
8:22
Speaker 1: we'll see how it goes. We may scrap this whole thing,
8:25
Speaker 1: to be honest, I don't know, and I think it'll
8:27
Speaker 1: be cathartic. I'm looking forward to getting this off my
8:31
Speaker 1: shoulders and repairing this moving forward and letting everybody here
8:39
Speaker 1: for me. So we're ready. Okay, let's do it. Let's
8:45
Speaker 1: see what happens. Alright, first episode, here we go in
8:48
Speaker 1: three two. Hello everybody, and welcome to the most dramatic
8:53
Speaker 1: podcast ever. I'm Chris Harrison. I think it's time we talk.
8:57
Speaker 1: All right, Well, it is gonna be juicy. You can
9:00
Speaker 1: feel the nerves. I'm sure the first episode will all
9:03
Speaker 1: be about the for lack of a better word, cancelation
9:07
Speaker 1: of him, and yeah, I can't imagine a lot of emotions.
9:13
Speaker 1: It's gonna be heavy. I feel like it's going to
9:15
Speaker 1: be really heavy because I've never agreed with canceling someone.
9:19
Speaker 1: And that's exactly you put it. You put it, you know,
9:23
Speaker 1: a kneel on the head. That's exactly what happened. Yeah,
9:26
Speaker 1: And I'm sure Trista that like you probably texted him
9:31
Speaker 1: at times in which he just couldn't respond, do you
9:35
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Like, I don't mean like couldn't
9:38
Speaker 1: respond because he was in the middle of a golf game,
9:40
Speaker 1: but I'm sure he inundated and there wasn't a lot
9:44
Speaker 1: to say or there's like a lot of confusing emotions
9:47
Speaker 1: and he probably just didn't, you know, go back in
9:50
Speaker 1: his log and respond to everyone. I'm sure I'm even
9:54
Speaker 1: someone who's who's guilty of that sometimes. And I I,
9:58
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't have that kind of red hot
10:02
Speaker 1: you know, spotlight at the moment like Christ, so I
10:04
Speaker 1: can only imagine. But yeah, I'm excited for him. I'm
10:07
Speaker 1: excited to hear the show. I'm excited that, you know,
10:10
Speaker 1: he's gonna be uh, you know, part of our family,
10:13
Speaker 1: our big family again, and not that he never was,
10:15
Speaker 1: but you know what I mean, with the whole heart family.
10:18
Speaker 1: So that's exciting. That is exciting. We'll be able to
10:21
Speaker 1: see him maybe at I heeart festivals and stuff like this. Anyway,
10:25
Speaker 1: this is our holiday podcast, but we had to kick
10:28
Speaker 1: it off with that huge news. You know, when it
10:31
Speaker 1: comes to Bachelor news, I want to talk to you
10:33
Speaker 1: guys about it. And now we'll get into some holiday questions. Yeah,
10:41
Speaker 1: just to get everybody in the spirit of things. We're
10:43
Speaker 1: also going to be talking to Genevieve and Kalin about
10:46
Speaker 1: their holiday favorites and traditions. But first the O G
10:49
Speaker 1: s rapid fire. Are you ready? What is your favorite
10:53
Speaker 1: holiday cocktail? Oh? I just had a holiday party. I
10:57
Speaker 1: did a favorite party with my friends and I made
11:01
Speaker 1: Christmas punch that was like prosecco vodka, um, cranberry juice,
11:07
Speaker 1: pomegranate juice, orange juice, ginger ale, really good. And then
11:13
Speaker 1: someone sent me a thing that said Christmas point or
11:16
Speaker 1: punches are back for parties. So I was like, oh, yeah,
11:19
Speaker 1: I'm trendy, so trendy, so on point. I'm on old
11:25
Speaker 1: school a nug you know, spice wrung guy. So yeah,
11:29
Speaker 1: but I will tell you you know, um, I almost
11:33
Speaker 1: said because of my son. But you know, my son
11:35
Speaker 1: doesn't drink egg, but my son is lactose intolerant and
11:41
Speaker 1: so he drinks lactad milk. This is what I've been
11:47
Speaker 1: I've been telling my agent for the past two years.
11:50
Speaker 1: That I want an ad Lactaid because I'm such a supporter.
11:54
Speaker 1: It got me through my pregnancy with chocolate milk. And
11:57
Speaker 1: now I saw the grocery short that Lactad has um
12:00
Speaker 1: eggnog amazing, trusting when I tell you to do it,
12:03
Speaker 1: it's like it's it's honestly like all the good stuff
12:05
Speaker 1: about egg without the kind of weird stuff about it stuff.
12:12
Speaker 1: So it's so good, amazing. What is your favorite holiday tradition?
12:16
Speaker 1: Do you have any? Because people have been asking me
12:18
Speaker 1: and I've realized I don't really have anything that I
12:20
Speaker 1: do every year consistently, and that's sad. Well, now you
12:24
Speaker 1: will now that is there, you will for sure. It
12:28
Speaker 1: is probably a kid thing. It for sure is, I
12:31
Speaker 1: think so, although mine is related to um, you know,
12:35
Speaker 1: life before kids UM. And I had been thinking about
12:38
Speaker 1: this because I was just asking another interview what my
12:41
Speaker 1: favorite tradition was. I honestly think one of my favorite
12:44
Speaker 1: traditions is Christmas cards. And why I texted you today
12:47
Speaker 1: actually to get your address, which I didn't respond yet,
12:50
Speaker 1: but that's because I was podcasting. It's okay, I just
12:55
Speaker 1: love connecting. I've used minted for at least ten years
12:58
Speaker 1: We're the only way to do it. They really are
13:01
Speaker 1: the only way to do it. And I love that.
13:04
Speaker 1: It's the connection with people, you know, I get to
13:07
Speaker 1: like kind of recap our year and keep them as
13:10
Speaker 1: like keepsakes if you will, of us through the years.
13:14
Speaker 1: So that's one of my favorites. Do you know that? Seriously,
13:17
Speaker 1: Mommy guilt right now because I didn't do a Christmas card?
13:21
Speaker 1: Don't don't you do it? Don't be guilty. No, And
13:25
Speaker 1: I just didn't have time. And I'm like, do you
13:27
Speaker 1: know what do a do? A New Year's car, a
13:30
Speaker 1: Valentine's card? People do that all the time. That's what
13:33
Speaker 1: we're doing. We're doing that really helps because it's a
13:37
Speaker 1: less busy time was when everything starts to chill out.
13:39
Speaker 1: But you might even be able to, Like what I'm
13:41
Speaker 1: thinking we're going to do is a New Year's card.
13:43
Speaker 1: We're going to use a picture from Christmas morning type
13:45
Speaker 1: of thing. Yes, like you said, was Minted and shutter Flying,
13:49
Speaker 1: all these companies, you can turn it out pretty quick.
13:51
Speaker 1: My favorite Christmas tradition and this is a this goes
13:54
Speaker 1: back as long as I can possibly remember. It's all
13:57
Speaker 1: about Christmas Morning, and I just of so my family
14:01
Speaker 1: comes down and you know, with the boys, and Grayson
14:03
Speaker 1: did it last year and this year Blake will be
14:05
Speaker 1: doing it with him, which is really exciting. But you know,
14:09
Speaker 1: Santa Claus comes and it is like a kerneval. It
14:13
Speaker 1: is bananas. There's like, you know, if something makes noise,
14:16
Speaker 1: it's making noise, if the train's going, it's chew chewing
14:19
Speaker 1: all that kind of good stuff. And you come down
14:21
Speaker 1: and it's just like sensory overload madness. Santa was here
14:24
Speaker 1: and uh, I love it and so um that's part
14:27
Speaker 1: of my fund is actually like late night Christmas Eve
14:30
Speaker 1: with a cup of you know, egg non pilactate. Uh
14:34
Speaker 1: is sitting there you know, actually I you need to
14:37
Speaker 1: uh plug this anywhere you can. Um, but literally sitting
14:40
Speaker 1: there having a couple of contents setting up you know, uh,
14:43
Speaker 1: all the good things out there that Santa leaves for
14:46
Speaker 1: the boys. Because you know, Santa's busy dude, he doesn't
14:48
Speaker 1: have time to set everything up as well as deliver it.
14:52
Speaker 1: So once he drops it off at our house for
14:54
Speaker 1: all the kids out there listening, I get involved and
14:58
Speaker 1: you know, help set some of it up. So yeah,
15:00
Speaker 1: it's it's not actually you need to. Um, there's a
15:05
Speaker 1: couple of things that you should do with Dawston as
15:08
Speaker 1: he gets older. Right now, it doesn't matter, but I
15:11
Speaker 1: remember this from growing up, and we did it, um
15:14
Speaker 1: when the kids were tiny. Um you take like footprints
15:18
Speaker 1: out of the the fireplace and have it be like
15:23
Speaker 1: footprints out of the fireplace. And then of course like, oh,
15:26
Speaker 1: I have this beautiful hand painted plate that says, um,
15:31
Speaker 1: you know something about Santa here comes Santa Claus or something.
15:34
Speaker 1: And they always put the you know, the carrots on
15:37
Speaker 1: in the cookies and the milk, and and you of
15:39
Speaker 1: course are drinking that at midnight and eating the cookie
15:43
Speaker 1: like just taking a bite out of it. But I
15:44
Speaker 1: feel like making the magic for the kids is actually
15:48
Speaker 1: another one of my favorite. I have really realized this
15:52
Speaker 1: year that Christmas is for the kids, and I want
15:56
Speaker 1: it for the kids, and I want that. I want
15:58
Speaker 1: that to be the focus. Yeah, I know, I'm like,
16:01
Speaker 1: I feel silly getting people like adults gifts. Now, I'm like,
16:04
Speaker 1: do you really need it? Can I just buy more
16:06
Speaker 1: for like a kid who needs it? I really like,
16:09
Speaker 1: I would rather you not get me anything and please
16:12
Speaker 1: give it to this this like this you know one
16:16
Speaker 1: of them, the Santa, the tags you know when you're fine,
16:21
Speaker 1: places like the kid, kid, please don't get me anything.
16:25
Speaker 1: I don't need anything else, but like, I would love
16:27
Speaker 1: to see the face on a kid who gets like
16:30
Speaker 1: their dream gifts. You can adopt families here A couple
16:34
Speaker 1: of my friends do that. They adopt a family and
16:36
Speaker 1: then the family has like a list and I don't
16:39
Speaker 1: know that they deliver it to the family specifically, but
16:41
Speaker 1: that's always so sweet. I love that. Um Okay, so
16:45
Speaker 1: I do want to say parents, get your kids, press pause,
16:50
Speaker 1: get your kids out of the room. I do want
16:51
Speaker 1: to say something about Santa. Okay, yeah, okay, you have
16:57
Speaker 1: a minute, all right, all right. So this is how
16:59
Speaker 1: my parents got me to believe in Santa, probably beyond
17:04
Speaker 1: when I should have. So I was in fourth grade
17:09
Speaker 1: and it's just you know, that's when the people start
17:11
Speaker 1: talking at school, you know, you start trying to figure
17:14
Speaker 1: things out, and you're like, I don't know because of this,
17:16
Speaker 1: and I don't know because of that, and um so
17:19
Speaker 1: the doubt was high, and as Elf would say, you know,
17:22
Speaker 1: the Christmas spirit was low. Santa was like maybe the
17:28
Speaker 1: ground And my sister and I come downstairs and this
17:31
Speaker 1: was after like we just moved into my our new
17:34
Speaker 1: like what at the time was our new house, but
17:36
Speaker 1: like my family home for the pasty plus years now. Um,
17:41
Speaker 1: and I remember it was a big deal for my
17:43
Speaker 1: parents to buy gas logs for every fireplace. And we
17:46
Speaker 1: have like five fireplaces in that house, and the gas
17:50
Speaker 1: logs were like five hundred dollars per fireplace, and I
17:54
Speaker 1: remember that making such a big deal out of how
17:57
Speaker 1: much the logs were, and like my dad couldn't believe
18:00
Speaker 1: that they were spending that. So then my sister and
18:03
Speaker 1: I come down on Christmas morning and the gas logs
18:07
Speaker 1: in the family room fireplace were broken and shattered all
18:11
Speaker 1: over the floor and and we looked at each other
18:15
Speaker 1: and we're like, oh, my god, Santa is real. There's
18:20
Speaker 1: no way mom and Dad would break these logs. And
18:25
Speaker 1: I was convinced because of that for like two more
18:28
Speaker 1: years until my mom one day in the car was like,
18:31
Speaker 1: you know, Santa isn't real, right, And I was like, yeah,
18:35
Speaker 1: I mean there was the fireplace that really threw me
18:39
Speaker 1: off for Yeah, so did they lie about the price. No.
18:45
Speaker 1: To this day, the logs are still broken in that fireplace,
18:48
Speaker 1: but they like broke them in a way in which
18:51
Speaker 1: it looks like more of like a real natural log
18:53
Speaker 1: instead of like, you know, straight across like standard gas
18:56
Speaker 1: looking logs. So it actually enhanced the vibe. But yeah, man,
19:02
Speaker 1: that was crafty. Yeah. My sister when she was my
19:07
Speaker 1: sisters two and a half years older than me, same
19:09
Speaker 1: split as my brother as my boys, by the way,
19:11
Speaker 1: but she was like in what was she like in
19:14
Speaker 1: I guess seventh grade and I was in like fifth grade,
19:18
Speaker 1: and she was like, look, you gotta stop with this.
19:20
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, I'm not stopping. And so I didn't
19:24
Speaker 1: care if I was like, if I was anywhere with
19:26
Speaker 1: an earshot of my family, I believe in Santita was
19:28
Speaker 1: in like tenth grade. I think, in fact, I still do.
19:32
Speaker 1: But if my buddies, my buddies already like dude, come on,
19:35
Speaker 1: I'm like what seriously, I mean, it makes me feel
19:38
Speaker 1: better Santa Claus watching, So I still, yeah, I still
19:41
Speaker 1: do it. My wife was the other day was like,
19:43
Speaker 1: quit learning Santa Claus over the boys. I'm like, no,
19:45
Speaker 1: absolutely not, Santa Claus is watching. I'm watching, That's right.
19:48
Speaker 1: How terrifying was the Naughty List and having coal when
19:51
Speaker 1: you're stocking like every year, I would like think back
19:54
Speaker 1: on the raisons that I would maybe need, would it
19:57
Speaker 1: would find coal in my stocking? Do know what? I
20:00
Speaker 1: just saw a post I think on Instagram or Facebook
20:02
Speaker 1: that they were talking about Cole and they were like,
20:05
Speaker 1: why did we say cool? Like the kids don't even
20:07
Speaker 1: know what coal is? Like what is cool from the barbecue? Yes? Exactly.
20:15
Speaker 1: My sister made a really good point when you and
20:17
Speaker 1: I saw this actually Instagram this year. I thought she
20:19
Speaker 1: thought of it, but she said, She's like, so Santa
20:21
Speaker 1: Claus has a naughty and nice list and he's seeing
20:24
Speaker 1: everything and I'm like, right, She's like, you're trying to
20:26
Speaker 1: tell me that he didn't know that Rudolph was getting
20:28
Speaker 1: bullied by the other rain gear and if he didn't
20:31
Speaker 1: whine any step in, why did you do something like?
20:33
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know why out in the
20:37
Speaker 1: fourth grader's mind, that's right, Okay, for a few more
20:41
Speaker 1: rapid fire. What is your favorite Christmas movie? Elf? Actually
20:49
Speaker 1: it's a wonderful life for me? Then that? Yes? A right? May?
20:54
Speaker 1: I asked a question, Ashley, because I have one. Is
20:57
Speaker 1: die Hard a Christmas movie I've never I've never seen. Okay,
21:04
Speaker 1: well that's your that's your this Christmas. You're watching it
21:08
Speaker 1: this Christmas. And then we got back to us if
21:10
Speaker 1: it's if it's actually a Christmas can you think it is?
21:14
Speaker 1: That's kind of the same thing with songs, like I
21:17
Speaker 1: keep hearing songs that that mentioned, like the word Christmas
21:21
Speaker 1: is in it, but it's not. It's totally not a
21:23
Speaker 1: Christmas song. I'm like, why is this being played right now? Um?
21:28
Speaker 1: I would have to say it is a Christmas movie
21:32
Speaker 1: because it is played traditionally on like the cable channels
21:36
Speaker 1: or whatever every single Christmas. Yeah, you know, I don't
21:40
Speaker 1: know why. I mean, I feel like he wears doesn't
21:42
Speaker 1: he wear a Santa hat? And at one point, um,
21:46
Speaker 1: maybe that's the only reason, but I feel like it
21:48
Speaker 1: has become a tradition, so why not just make it
21:50
Speaker 1: a Christmas? So I think Ken is a Christmas movie.
21:54
Speaker 1: It needs to be more respected as as that. There's
21:58
Speaker 1: me that's with Leo, right, and it always it takes
22:02
Speaker 1: place at Christmas pretty much throughout always because he says,
22:06
Speaker 1: he goes, Carl, we always need on Christmas and it's said,
22:10
Speaker 1: yeah that there's a Christmas e Winter field throughout it. It
22:13
Speaker 1: It was released at Christmas. I think it's an underrea
22:17
Speaker 1: Christmas movie. And then there's The Holiday, which is probably
22:19
Speaker 1: my favorite, a grown up Christmas movie. Got it. I'm
22:23
Speaker 1: excited to see Spirited Um with Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds.
22:29
Speaker 1: I think that's on. We were going to watch it
22:31
Speaker 1: Apple TV. So it's pretty good. I watched it. I
22:34
Speaker 1: liked it. Okay, good, But like the movie during Christmas,
22:38
Speaker 1: Ken Will Ferrell do another Christmas movie, We're always going
22:41
Speaker 1: to compare it. There is no comparison. It's totally different.
22:46
Speaker 1: Ok Okay, that's good. That's good. Okay, alright. My last
22:50
Speaker 1: question for you is what has been your most memorable
22:55
Speaker 1: Christmas gift? And I asked this question having a hard
22:58
Speaker 1: time answering it myself. So this is for you, memorable
23:03
Speaker 1: giving or getting. Oh, you could do either. I okay,
23:06
Speaker 1: this is gonna sound superficial, but honestly, I wear them
23:09
Speaker 1: every single day and have for twenty years. So my
23:12
Speaker 1: my earrings, that's superficial. Those are very special. Yeah. It
23:16
Speaker 1: was like I had never bought diamonds for myself and
23:21
Speaker 1: I never received them from, you know, a significant other,
23:25
Speaker 1: and um, I had always wanted them, of course, I mean,
23:30
Speaker 1: what girl doesn't want diamonds? And uh, he got them
23:33
Speaker 1: for me for our first I believe it was our
23:35
Speaker 1: first Christmas. And I literally wear them every day. You
23:38
Speaker 1: will see them unless I have like hoops or you
23:41
Speaker 1: know some other um like costume miss jewelry on. I
23:45
Speaker 1: have them in when I work out in the shower. Uh,
23:49
Speaker 1: you know, when I'm doing a podcast all day every day,
23:54
Speaker 1: I'm always wearing them for twenty years. So that's so sentimental.
23:56
Speaker 1: That's not materialistic at all. Okay, good, Yeah, that's nice.
24:01
Speaker 1: But I think I got you beat. So my son
24:06
Speaker 1: was born on December three. You know, we were living
24:10
Speaker 1: in Seattle and we had no family around us, so
24:13
Speaker 1: Canyan's families from California, my families from Michigan. I was
24:17
Speaker 1: just I was just so bummed. I was super excited
24:20
Speaker 1: to have this little baby boy. But all I could
24:23
Speaker 1: think of was that no one was going to be there.
24:24
Speaker 1: And then they all came in for Christmas from everywhere
24:28
Speaker 1: and staying with us at our house, and so everyone
24:31
Speaker 1: was there on Christmas. It gets me choked up even
24:33
Speaker 1: thinking about it. So you know, and uh, it was
24:36
Speaker 1: pretty amazing and then, um, you know, so that that's
24:39
Speaker 1: what I would say would be my Christmas gifts was
24:41
Speaker 1: that my favorite gift was that my son was born
24:44
Speaker 1: around the holidays, which is a bummer for him because
24:46
Speaker 1: his birthday. You know, he's gonna he's gonna struggle right
24:49
Speaker 1: with the birthday and in present. But but it was
24:52
Speaker 1: just so awesome that everyone was there together, and you know,
24:55
Speaker 1: it's one of my last Christmas was with my dad
24:56
Speaker 1: before he passed away, so it means a lot to me.
24:59
Speaker 1: That feels like the end of a Christmas movie. Ye okay,
25:07
Speaker 1: you definitely got me beat. You had me beat, But
25:13
Speaker 1: I love you. I didn't I didn't mean to pull
25:15
Speaker 1: out the Trump card like that. Now you're so good
25:18
Speaker 1: at telling stories. Um, I can just I could talk
25:22
Speaker 1: to you guys all day. You make this job so easy.
25:24
Speaker 1: And I know that that's why our podcast almost same
25:27
Speaker 1: as o GS, is doing so well. So I just
25:29
Speaker 1: want to say thank you again for coming on for
25:32

26:09
Speaker 1: all about Kaylin and Dean Ungles engagement in a new
26:15
Speaker 1: in depth episode with Kylin. We do have an old
26:18
Speaker 1: in depth episode with Kalen, but this time she's going
26:21

26:24
Speaker 1: lost the lost engagement ring, their engagement, and um, their
26:29
Speaker 1: wedding planning, which is already going down. But right now,
26:33
Speaker 1: Caitlin and I are going to be talking about the
26:35
Speaker 1: holidays because we have a wonderful sponsor in Starbucks, and
26:40
Speaker 1: we just you know, you can't get enough of like
26:43
Speaker 1: cozy Christmas latte's, And I'm you know, we own a
26:47
Speaker 1: coffee shop, and yet I will definitely be finding myself
26:52
Speaker 1: multiple times at Starbucks for a cozy little red cup. Kyln,
26:57
Speaker 1: what is your favorite holiday drink? Oh? I love Chai latte's,
27:04
Speaker 1: especially in the fall and winter, just like a warm
27:07
Speaker 1: chi latte. I also am a little basic and I
27:10
Speaker 1: love pumpkin spice altees every once in a while. Oh yeah,
27:12
Speaker 1: for sure. Of course, I used to be obsessed with
27:15
Speaker 1: pumpkin spice and now I'm like, okay, I like them,
27:18
Speaker 1: but I actually like the winter ones more, not peppermint.
27:22
Speaker 1: I'm not down with peppermint. I don't need to have
27:25
Speaker 1: like a toothbrush taste in my mouth, you know what
27:27
Speaker 1: I mean. But if it says like cookie butter or
27:31
Speaker 1: anything like that, I am so down. They're so good
27:34
Speaker 1: eggnog flavored things. What's your favorite? Yes, the eggnog um.
27:40
Speaker 1: Then I also love a Starbucks chocolate and it's specifically
27:46
Speaker 1: a Starbucks hot chocolate. And yes, I am still saying
27:48
Speaker 1: this as the owner of Audrey's. There's only one Audrey's
27:51
Speaker 1: if you're not in Rhode Island Starbucks. I wouldn't think
27:55
Speaker 1: that we are a competitor of Starbucks. And I love
28:00
Speaker 1: their hot chocolate. But man, you wanted some? This is
28:04
Speaker 1: like the most Ashley thing ever. After people watch this
28:06
Speaker 1: season of Paradise, I shouldn't be going out anywhere after
28:11
Speaker 1: having a Starbucks hot chocolate unless it's like I have
28:16
Speaker 1: like a yeah you know what, Starbucks, get some lactaid milk, please?
28:20
Speaker 1: I need lactained milk with my Starbucks because almond milk
28:24
Speaker 1: in your Starbucks, you're in your in your hot chocolate
28:27
Speaker 1: not the same. Yeah, Yeah, what's your favorite alcoholic holiday drink. Oh,
28:34
Speaker 1: I kind of like, I'm never whiskey person, but I
28:36
Speaker 1: like whiskey around the holidays, just with like a cinnamon
28:40
Speaker 1: stick in different. I don't I don't make them, but
28:43
Speaker 1: I feel like I've had like cinnamon and maple syrup
28:45
Speaker 1: in it. Oh, totally, that sounds so good. And like, um,
28:49
Speaker 1: I like even fireball with apple cider with a little
28:53
Speaker 1: cinnamon stick in it. So good. Oh, it's so good.
28:57
Speaker 1: So we have a drink like that at Audrey's. And
28:59
Speaker 1: then I also love an eggnog martini, which I don't
29:02
Speaker 1: drink eggnog itself, but Jared will make an eggnog martini.
29:07
Speaker 1: Um that just it's so good he he um. Will
29:10
Speaker 1: put a Graham cracker crossed a Graham cracker rim on
29:13
Speaker 1: the martini glass and just getting a little graham cracker
29:17
Speaker 1: in your mouth with the eggnog and the vodka. It's
29:19
Speaker 1: so good. I love eggnog alone. And surprisingly I've never
29:23
Speaker 1: had alcoholic eggnog. You gotta check it out. So we
29:26
Speaker 1: we we flip flopped, yeah, because I've never Yeah, I've
29:29
Speaker 1: never had eggnog. Plane. Uh, do you guys have any
29:32
Speaker 1: holiday traditions? You and Dean thus far Um. I was
29:38
Speaker 1: just thinking that because I put the tree up today
29:40
Speaker 1: and I waited to put we have a pappy tree topper?
29:45
Speaker 1: What you do? It's the sweetest. Dean got it for
29:49
Speaker 1: us and it's the best. So that's like our new
29:51
Speaker 1: tradition as of last year is we put it up together,
29:54
Speaker 1: at least just the pappy topper. Oh that's so sweet
29:59
Speaker 1: that I think seeing that into story last year of
30:02
Speaker 1: the topper made me cry. It's just so sweet and
30:06
Speaker 1: I feel like it's a really nice gift for people
30:10
Speaker 1: who whose doggies have passed to kind of put them,
30:13
Speaker 1: like to make them one of those things and put
30:15
Speaker 1: it as the angel on top of the tree. I
30:18
Speaker 1: know it's the best. And he had I think he
30:20
Speaker 1: passed like a month prior to Christmas, so it was
30:22
Speaker 1: kind of perfect timing with the topper. How did you
30:26
Speaker 1: find that? Somebody just sent it to um? It was
30:29
Speaker 1: the day that we put him down. Dean was just
30:31
Speaker 1: on Google and went on Etsy and found it. Oh
30:34
Speaker 1: my gosh, I'm gonna go do that after this. Yeah. Well,
30:37
Speaker 1: that's a very sweet tradition that you guys have. Did
30:40
Speaker 1: you have any traditions growing up that you want to
30:42
Speaker 1: pass down to possibly children one day. We didn't really
30:47
Speaker 1: have that many traditions. We had like a train under
30:50
Speaker 1: our tree. I don't know if I passed that on.
30:53
Speaker 1: And it's more so like the parties leading up to it.
30:56
Speaker 1: My mom would always have a cookie party, and she'd
30:58
Speaker 1: have all her neighbor friends over. Everyone bring a different cookie,
31:00
Speaker 1: and then by the time, like right before Christmas, we'd
31:04
Speaker 1: end up with like fifty different types of cookies. That's cute.
31:07
Speaker 1: That's really cute. Now we're just gonna do a rapid
31:10
Speaker 1: fire of your favorite holiday everything. Okay, okay, what is
31:15
Speaker 1: your favorite holiday song? Oh um? Oh my gosh, why
31:20
Speaker 1: am I blanking? What's his name? The one who sings
31:23
Speaker 1: all the great christmasas? I put on my story to
31:25
Speaker 1: Michael by Yeah, just anything by him? Okay, So I
31:30
Speaker 1: like that respect respect. I went through a huge Michael
31:33
Speaker 1: Boy phase as a eighteen year old, so I was
31:36
Speaker 1: like a senior in high school amongst so many much
31:40
Speaker 1: older than me. At his concerts, I felt real classy,
31:44
Speaker 1: but I was obsessed with him, and you know, definitely
31:47
Speaker 1: had that I'm definitely going to marry Michael bill Boy
31:49
Speaker 1: thing in my head. Um, then, what is your favorite
31:55
Speaker 1: Christmas movie? Oh? Um, we're but I love Harry Potter
32:02
Speaker 1: and it's not really Christmas. I could feel it. It's
32:06
Speaker 1: got like vibes. I understand it has cozy vibes, and
32:09
Speaker 1: most of the movies came out around Christmas. Yeah, okay,
32:14
Speaker 1: do you know what you're getting Dean this year? No,
32:19
Speaker 1: I don't know if we're going to do gifts. If
32:21
Speaker 1: we do, it'll be like we'll each get each other, Um,
32:24
Speaker 1: concert tickets. Okay, that's cool. Yeah. Usually Jared and I, well,
32:28
Speaker 1: I go a little bit overboard because he's so fun
32:30
Speaker 1: and so easy to shop for. I just get on
32:33
Speaker 1: Etsy and I just ordered him a zillion things that
32:35
Speaker 1: are like Tom Brady themed and like movie themed and
32:38
Speaker 1: stuff like that. But for me, I don't want any
32:42
Speaker 1: more stuff, like nothing physical, like our our house is
32:46
Speaker 1: already like busting at the seams, you know, as far
32:48
Speaker 1: as like stuff goes. So I'm just like no, no, no,
32:52
Speaker 1: Like anything that's that's a memory, give that that that's
32:56
Speaker 1: way more impactful for me. Yeah. I've also never heard
33:01
Speaker 1: someone say that they're significant other is easy to shop for.
33:04
Speaker 1: I feel like I would agree. It's not a very
33:09
Speaker 1: common thing. But he has so many passions. In his
33:13
Speaker 1: passions like just have like a lot of things made
33:17
Speaker 1: about them. I don't know, you know what I mean,
33:20
Speaker 1: Like when it comes to movies and sports, there's just
33:22
Speaker 1: like a lot of like things you can buy that
33:25
Speaker 1: are interesting and creative, especially on stuff like that's that's
33:28
Speaker 1: so nice. Do you like to travel or stay home
33:31
Speaker 1: for the holidays? We really want to stay home for
33:35
Speaker 1: the holidays. I really like staying home. But we haven't
33:39
Speaker 1: spent the holidays with my family for a while, so
33:41
Speaker 1: we'll be traveling. Are you when to be going to Virginia? Yeah?
33:44
Speaker 1: Oh nice? Because I know that you're really close to
33:46
Speaker 1: your grandparents in Vegas. So will they be traveling with you? Um? No,
33:52
Speaker 1: they'll stay back. And do you have a gift guide
33:56
Speaker 1: for significant other presents or just like the presents for
34:00
Speaker 1: girls of our ages? I don't. I've been thinking about
34:03
Speaker 1: creating one. I feel like there's yeah, no, I don't know.
34:07
Speaker 1: I was like, I think of something too quick. Maybe
34:09
Speaker 1: an order an or ring. Those things are so hot
34:13
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, they're the best. I how is it
34:17
Speaker 1: different than a I like? Um than like an apple watch? Um?
34:22
Speaker 1: It tracks your sleep better. I think that Apple Watch
34:24
Speaker 1: tracks your workouts better, but the aura it's more about
34:27
Speaker 1: like your heart rate and sleep. Interesting. Okay. My final
34:31
Speaker 1: rapid fire question for you is would you rather be
34:34
Speaker 1: somewhere tropical during the holidays or somewhere cold and cozy?
34:39
Speaker 1: Cold and cozy? Okay? I agree. I am down for
34:42
Speaker 1: hot and tropical every other week or month out of
34:46
Speaker 1: the year, but tropical is for January and beyond because
34:52
Speaker 1: I want to like live in it in December. Yeah,
34:55
Speaker 1: I agree. Okay, Well, Calin, I just want to thank
34:59
Speaker 1: you again so much for coming on here. I hope
35:02
Speaker 1: that you, Indean, have the coziest first Christmas together as
35:06
Speaker 1: an engaged couple. To make it even cozier, you know,
35:09
Speaker 1: I'd throw a couple of Starbucks Red cups in the
35:12
Speaker 1: family room and have a little coziness under the Christmas
35:15
Speaker 1: tree that you put up today, because nothing really completes
35:18
