• 0:05
  Speaker 2: It's almost his podcast.
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: And I'm here today with some breaking Bachelor Nation news
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: and I couldn't do it without my guy, Joey. G Joey,
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: you're still recovering. You just got done with the New
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: York City Marathon. I think it's nothing but impressive. But
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: how are you feeling now?
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: I'm sort dude, not gonna lie. I'm glad to be
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: talking to me, I mister buddy, but yeah, no, I'm sorry.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: It was something that I'm glad I was able to accomplish.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: I originally when I was done, was like, there's no
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: way I do it again. But I think I also,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: now that I've been thinking back on how cool that
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: day was, I do think I might do it again
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: next year. So it was fulfilling. But man, I don't
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: think humans are supposed to run that long. I'll just
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: be honest. Did you feel like prepared? You trained hard?
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: I trained really hard. The problem was was I trained
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: hard and late. I probably should have had long longer
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: time to train, and I was traveling quite a bit,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: so I had missed some days and then it was
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: two weeks before I did my longest run, which was
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: a twenty miler, and I ended up hurting my foot,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: and then I wasn't one hundred percent going into the
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: marathon and had to like stop running two weeks before
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: because I was just trying to get healthy. So I
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: came in a little cold. It's amazing that I was
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: still able to do it, Like I'm stoked by cardio
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: kept up, but my legs definitely felt it like I
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: lost a lot of stamina at the end. But man,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: it was it was so cool. New York shows out
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: for that event, so it was fun.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: You ran it in four hours, twenty nine minutes, fifty
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: eight seconds. What is it if you break it down
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: per mile?
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: I think it was somewhere around like ten seventeen per mile,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: which I would say, I'm not like, I would never
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: brag about that time. I think the goal when I
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: first was training was I was probably going to be
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: able to get close to under four hours. That was
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: what I would love liked to do, which was closer
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: to a nine minute mile. But I wasn't one hundred
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: percent and it'd be crazy to think if I was
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: able to do that, not one hundred percent, So I
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: think I would actually be injured right now if I
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: try to hit that time. So when I came into
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: the day, I did say my goal was, well, I
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: just want to at least beat four thirty. And it
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: was harder than I expected it to be. And I
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: remember that last mile. I was like, oh, I got
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: to kind of move a little bit to actually break
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: four thirty. So kicked it in the overdrive and luckily
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: got there with two seconds to spare.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: It's incredible. I mean I was looking at the times.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Obviously the winners are like.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Unfathomable, unfathomable.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Then you have Zach Clark who runs it in like
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: three twenty nine or something that's incredible crazy, you know,
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: it's just it's a special event. Congratulations once again, no
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: matter what you did it and that's huge yea, And
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: in an impressive time. We have a big announcement coming up.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: But our listeners wrote in when we told them that
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: you're coming on, they wouldn't know how wedding planning's going.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Give us a quick update. Yeah, man, it's going great.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: We are in the process of still talking with our
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: wedding planner. I think the first thing that we're trying
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: to really lock in by beginning of next year is
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: location and date. I think that's most important obviously the
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: first thing to knock off, and we're leaning in a
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: certain direction. We like one of the one of the
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: venues that was found, so we're going to go check
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: that out, hopefully here soon and have some answers probably
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: here in the future of when it's going to be
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: and where it's going to be. But honestly, it's been
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: fun to start thinking about and starting to kind of
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: figure out what it's going to look like. And I'm
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: just really focusing on make sure it hits Kelsey's vision
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: and what she wants and it's practical and something that
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: makes sense for all of us. But I'm just really
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: excited because as you take more steps, it's becoming more
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: and more real, and as people know, like I know,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: I hear it all the time, like why aren't you
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: guys getting married yet? This or that. The setup of
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: this show is you get engaged very quickly, you have
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: to kind of still figure out a lot of stuff
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: in your life before you start taking this next step.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: And it's not that I don't think we're going to
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: take this next step. We just both have talked it
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: over and we don't want to rush it. We want
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: to enjoy it. And we have a lot of other
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: things going on right now that are great, So it's
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: nice that we don't have to rush into this. And
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: we'll be looking to get a date here soon and
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: sometime in twenty twenty seven, and I can't wait to
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: figure all that out.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: And only there's any wise person out there that would say, yeah,
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: rush into marriage now. I don't think there's any wise
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: person that said would say, don't get married, but rush
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: into marriage doesn't come out of many people's mouths. Yeah,
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: especially from this show. Well, we we're excited for you guys.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Keep us updated as planning continues. It is time to
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: make the announcement. I can officially announce that I will
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: be joining Joey along with your favorite Bachelor National lum
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: on the Bachelor Nation Vacation at Sea cruise. Joey, You've
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: been signed up for a while. Yeah, I think just
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: getting to be around you is one of the big
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: reasons why I'm going to go on this cruise, because
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: you know, your coolness just sheds off on me, especially
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: on a cruise ship. This event is happening November sixteenth
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: through the twentieth, twenty twenty six. This cruise is leaving
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: from Miami and going to Porto Plata, Dominican Republic. It's
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Norwegian Cruise Line ship called the Joy. Joey, are you
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: excited for this cruise ship?
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: I can.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: I'm excited. I think it's gonna be really cool. Like
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: you said first and foremost, that we're gonna get a
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: lot of the batstor nation alum together. I'm excited to
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: see you, I'm excited to see a lot of other
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: people that are coming on this cruise, and Kelsey and
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: I are just stoke to be able to connect with
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: all them, and then also to be able to just
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: go on a fun cruise with all the fans that
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: have kind of been able to give us this platform,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: this opportunity that we're so lucky to have. I've noticed
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: a lot of times throughout there's a lot of different
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: ways to try to connect with the fans, but sometimes
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: it doesn't always work out, or it's not in the
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: most I guess easy locations or circumstances. There's just something
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: about this cruise. I feel like it's going to be
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: super fun. We'll get the ability to connect not only
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: on our level with our own friends, but also with
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: the fans, and I just think it's gonna be fun.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: I'm not I'm only one. I think two cruises one
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: cruise in my entire life, and I haven't done one
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: since I've been an adult. So I'm I'm excited just
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: to get on a cruise. To tell you the truth,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: it's been a long time for me. I used to
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: go on cruises for spring break in high school. Yeah,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: easy access to all the things that you know high
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: schoolers want in spring break. I'm with you, it's going
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: to be incredible to have this reunion. You know, before
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: the last few years, we used to do these kind
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: of reunions quite a bit, either somebody's wedding or it
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: was some event, and we haven't done them in a
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: long time. It was always a.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: Way for me to meet, you know, people who had
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: been a part of Bacheloration for a long time, way
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: before my time, but also some of the newcomers who
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: are coming through, and I think that's what it's exciting
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: about this. Also, there's gonna be activities on board this
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: cruise ship. Joey, I don't see your name mentioned here,
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: but I'm sure you're going to be leading some really
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: fun stuff. Can you give us maybe a little insight
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: into some of the things that you would want to
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: do with the fans during this cruise.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, give me some of the lists of the
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: things that you're seeing. I'll let you know what I'm
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: interested in. I'm still I'm still learning as we go
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: on some of the stuff that's going on. I thought
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: there's some fun things though.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Okay, here we go. It's a tell all panels and
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: love story rewatches. I'm assuming you're going to be a
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: part of that, yea, one of the successful love stories
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: to come out of the Bachelor world. You're going to
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: definitely be a part of that nightly cocktail parties with
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: Bachelor favorites. I could see us being a part of
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: that legendary episode screenings. So some of the moments where
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: some of your most iconic memory from the show are
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: aired and some of the people are on board talking
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: about it. There's going to be a sale away welcome
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: party hosted by of course Jesse Palmer, life podcasts with
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Kathy and Susan, fitness classes with Tyler Cameron, there's something
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: called zin Cursing with Sandra Mason, and then we're having
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: It feels like this dude has to be making a
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: living on this show. Jared Freed is going to be
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: on the ship as well, doing some shows and some
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: live events. That guy is everywhere right now when it
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: comes to everywhere.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: No, he's a statuelor super fan. Obviously a funny comedian.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: He does a good job of like having that communique
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: relief for the show. But I'm with you. I feel
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: like the thing I'll definitely be a part of. I
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: always love the opportunity to look back on Kelsey in
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: my love story and to be able to share that
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: with a fan, So that will be amazing. And anytime
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: there's a cocktail hour that mean you can go be
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: a part of I think that's going to be a
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: good time. He'll bring Wells too, and he'll probably be
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: helping pour the drinks, and I think we'll just have
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: a good time on that one too.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: I have an idea for us, Joey, what if you
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: Wells and I I think I don't know if Dean
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: is a part of this or not, but any golfers,
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: what if we did like a because there's a really
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: cool miniature golf course, what if we hosted a tournament
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: one day.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Let's do that. Let's put that, Let's put down the
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: list and see if there's some interest in that. But
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: I think Dean's gonna be there as well, and that
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: would be perfect. Dude, we have a little we can
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: all draft our own teams and have something.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I like this, I like this idea. All right,
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: we'll talk about it. You can book your tickets now
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: at Bachelor Nation Vacation at seed dot com. Again, that's
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: Bachelornation Vacation at seed dot com. I'm also assuming there's
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: going to be more people announced as we get closer
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: to the cruise. We had our first big wave of
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: incredible people announced, and now we'll kind of start, you know,

• 10:12
  Speaker 3: to go out there and check it out. Everybody listening
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: to this, I mean, in like a thirty second snippet here,
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: tell us what it's been like hosting this show so far?
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: What have you enjoyed, what have you learned along the.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Way, just fun man to be back into the Dance
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: with the Stars world. I think, really what I've learned
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: is this season's amazing. There's some great celebrities, and obviously
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: the pros are stars themselves, but competition has been awesome.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: And the coolest part about the show is it just
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: gives me an ability to shine light on parts of
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: the show that people don't always see, like all the
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: behind the scenes stuff that goes on with the pros
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: and the celebrities, but then also the production crew, the
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: hair and makeup team. We talked to the music director
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: this week, so there's just a lot of different facets
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: that make that live show special. And I think it's
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: a really good way to just have access and learn
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: more about the show every single week. It's really set
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: up to be kind of like the live after show,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: so people have an ability to understand what's going on,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: from the eliminated couples to anything going on with the show.
• 11:13
