  Speaker 1: almost Famous podcast. Thank you, thank you. I'm glad to
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: be welcome to my podcast, Ashley. Where are you at
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: right now? I am in northern Virginia at my parents house.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Jared and I are going to hang here for a
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks and um, well, depending on how this goes,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: will play it by year, of course, but we may
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: drive up to his parents in Rhode Island because we
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: just figured spend this time quarantine in the house and
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: with the people you love. You know, well, I'm not
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: with you, guys, so I feel like I'm I'm not
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: with everybody I loved that I knew that was going
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: to come. That's so sad. You know what, we would
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: love to have you. It's been a while since you
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: and I have been able to sit down and talk. Obviously,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: I was on tour, uh And then last week I
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: was sitting in Kansas City at dinner and the tour
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: manager came in and let us all know that we're
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: going to be heading home from tour, that we need
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: a place to go. And unfortunately, my house in Denver
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: is being rented right now by a friend of mine,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: so I don't have a home. So I came back
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: to Indiana. Right now, I'm in Indiana. You're on the
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: East coast, Ashley. Overall, how is this virus in the
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: changes they're taking place? How is it affecting you and
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Jared and your family? I mean, you know, I think
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: the biggest thing is just staying home today. I think
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: we're going to go take a nice long walk. My
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: my parents house is like a mile off the Potomac,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: So I think like one thing you can do is
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: probably go outdoors. And I think a lot of people
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: are thinking like you can stay inside, but like if
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: there's a nature and there's not like big there's not
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: a lot of people around. Then I think, like, you
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: can go for walks, we can get our exercise that way. Um,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: but I think the biggest change everyone is just staying home.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: And I think, like I have grand planned and like, um,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna stay home. I'm gonna I'm gonna work out
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: my parents, you know, at home, Jim. I'm gonna like
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: read books. I'm gonna like write things that I've planned
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: on writing for months, and now I'm just like sitting
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: on the couch, you know, eating and watching the same
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: shows over and over again. It's like, I need to
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: get on the productive track about being home because everybody
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: always wishes for more downtime, right and more time to
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: hang around with family, and I think it's probably the
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: time to take advantage of all that. It really is.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I actually, uh USA Today came out with an article
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: this morning this said, the hundred top things are just
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: best things to do while you're kind of in quarantine.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: And one thing that my family and I have been
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: doing is puzzles. I've taken a walk every day and
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you it's been really nice for me. Actually,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: the doctors today on some of the news outlets are saying, yeah,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: please get outside. Just don't gather with people, don't get
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: close to people, but get outside, walk, explore nature, read
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: outside these things. I mean. This morning, I woke up
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: and I wrote a ton of emails to people that
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I have been missing writing emails too. This is a
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: time to catch back up and to refocus, but also
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: to rest, which I think is so important. As you said,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: so many people desire rest. You and I both do.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: This is a time to rest. Yeah, I think sometimes
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: you can feel guilty about it. You're like, oh, Like
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: usually you're like, oh, I could be doing this, or
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: it could be doing that, Like there's always work to
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: be done. Like I think that, like the definition of
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: being an adult is basically like when you have time off,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: you know you could be doing actually something productive. But
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: right now you actually have nothing productive to do, and
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: you have nothing to feel guilty about, so just chill out,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: clear your mind. Actually that brings me to a good point,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: because you do need rest. You've been really busy the
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: last few weeks. I was on tour, and while I
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: was on tour, you're hosting the almost famous podcast on
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: your own and doing a terrific job while doing it. Uh, congratulations.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: First off, on the numbers that you've been pulling, UM
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: with the almost famous podcast Peter season was obviously wild.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: You've talked a lot about it. We don't need to
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: go into it right now. I just want to say
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: thank you and congratulations and all everything you've done the
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: last few weeks for for this podcast. Well then come on,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: you are working way harder over there doing a live show,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: exerting that energy every single night. So I've been missing you.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I've been like, your skill balances my skill, and I've
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I've truly missed having that. I've been thankful for everybody
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: who's going to podcast and support me, um throughout the
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: weeks that we've had, you know, a bad connection with
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: you or whatnot. Um. I also just do you want
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: to mention the Bestlor season one time? Because can you
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: imagine the webber quarantine right now at the web Oh wow,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: that's a good point. I saw on social media that
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: took to social media to explain that they fixed things
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: as a family or it's never been contentious. I don't
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: know how it hasn't been a little bit contentious after
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: that finale, but yeah, I mean, if you want to
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: force family fund walk in a family that's just on
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: national television into a house and make them, you know,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: battle it out the Actually you said something there though,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: That's that's really uh interesting for me. I've been co
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: hosting this tour with Becca and so now I have
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: like to co hosts and it's weird. It's weird to me.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Becca has asked me a lot, like, Hey, how does
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: it feel to be co hosting something with me and Ashley?
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: And like, Ashley, I have missed you. I've missed the
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: team here. It's weird. Beca has been terrific. We have
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: a great time on tour, but it feels like it
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: feels like I'm missing a piece of my life when
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: I'm not talking usually does it's weird? Oh that's so sweet. Well,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: it's right back at you. I mean, the podcast will
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: never be the same without you, and in every episode
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: that goes by without you is not as good. Well
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know about that, but we can patty kick
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: each other all the time because you know, I love
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: you and I know that you love me. And this
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: has been awesome so far. But we've got to jump
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: into this Ashley. Uh, the coronavirus is affecting so many
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: There's been so many things about it that are unknown
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: and confusing. But the one thing we do know is
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: it's canceling a lot of things. It's closing a lot
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: of things. Just just today, the city that I have
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: my restaurants and just mentioned that are just announced that
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: we're gonna be closing all restaurants for eight weeks. We
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: can still do delivery and take out. Things are changing,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: especially in Bachelor Nation. Bachelor Nation had two huge things
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: coming up. One is Summer Games. The second is the
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Bachelor at allered Lee Summer Games. Right now is not
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: going to happen at least from what we're understanding and
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: pushed back, what is going to happen here? Like? Do
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: you think people are going to be more excited about
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: this Bachelor World once it comes back? Do you think
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: we're gonna miss it? Like? What is going to go
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: on in the Bachelor World over these next few months?
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm truly like more we're I mean
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: not that anything any worry compares about compares to the
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: worry that we have about our health and as a
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: nation and all that. But I mean, if we're going
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: to get trivial here, I am a little bit concerned
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: about the logistics of the Bachelorette season and then Paradise, Um,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I mean winter, I mean summer games aside, now that
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: like that was supposed to I think film in May
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: and if I mean, of course I could see that
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: being gone. But then how are they going to work
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: the Bachelorette and then film Paradise in June and then
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: have it air during the summer and not go into
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: like Dancing with the Stars territory. I guess it. It
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: has to do with what ABC is going to prioritize.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: But all I'm worried about Claire finally gets her chance,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: and now what if she doesn't get her chance. They
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: can't do that, right, I mean, they can't have to
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: have a weird abbreviated season or a season where she
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: just dates people from like a sound stage, right, definitely. Well,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: here's the part to actually I want to talk to about.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Because they would have to do an abbreviated season, they
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: would have to mix it up. They're going to have
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: to do something because the one thing we don't we
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: do still have his television. Right. We can read, we
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: can walk, we can sleep, we can rest, we can
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: write letters, we can do puzzles. We also have TV
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: that's been a big padal part of our world for
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: a long time. I want to know your opinion on this.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: When they started Claire's season, which they did start, they
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: locked they had her on lockdown. She was isolated from
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: the world. They didn't now never met the guys though
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: she never met the guy. But here's my point, Ashley,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: is they anounced them in so for the first time ever,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: she can literally know every single man going on to
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: her season. Does that change the game a bit? Actually? Um, well,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: I don't want to, like, I don't want to review
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: personal conversations about that. You bring that up. I just
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: DMed with Claire a little bit yesterday and she says
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: she hasn't looked at the pictures. She said that the
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: pictures were released when, of course she didn't have her
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: film and now it's like kind of up to her
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: whether she wants to take a look at it or not.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: But right now, as of now, she hasn't looked at them.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: I would be wouldn't you. Um, I'd be super curious.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: But I also know that the pictures never really fully
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: describe someone. Remember when the pictures came out about for
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Hannah season and we were all like really worried for her,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: which is so sad to say. Um, and then we
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: saw all the guys come out of the limo and
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: we thought that they were so cute, and she had
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: like some really great quality guys. So I think if
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: I were in Claire she was, I probably wouldn't look
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: at the pictures because like I'd want to get my
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: first impression of them in real life and not have
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: like any preconceived notion of them. Okay, well, I mean
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: I'm just wondering even then past that are any of
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: these guys dm ng her Um, you know it's uh,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: that's a great point. Yeah, it's not against Batchel Nation
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: to d M. I mean we've seen it. Not to
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: mention any names, I think it's pretty obvious. But when
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: any anytime there's a girl that's getting broken up with
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: from the show or there's a guy, for the most
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: time it's the girls. You can always look at their
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: pictures that they post on Instagram and see, you know,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: who's probably sliding into the d M s because of
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: all the likes that they're getting from the same person.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: It's not above Bachelor Nation to use social media to
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: connect with each other. That is a really good point,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: and that kind of brings up the fact that Hannah
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Anne said on Ellen this week that she wanted to
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: date Tyler Cameron, which is interesting because Tyler is such
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: a good friends with Peter that I wasn't even sure
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: that that was even going to be on the table.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: But as of right now, it looks like Hannah b
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: and Tyler maybe we're kindling things. And maybe a little
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: bit too early to say that, but we saw Hannah
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: arrive to the airport in Florida a couple of days ago,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Tyler picked her up, and then they were also seen
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: at a sporting goods store later that day together, and
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: she did go to his mom's memorial. I wouldn't assume
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: that they're just friends who fly to see each other,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: like obviously like her going to his mom's memorial is
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: something that a friend would do, especially since he's had
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: such a big role in her life and vice versa
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: for the past year. But like coming to visit again
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: at this time in our country shows I feel like
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: there's something romantic to it, Like they want to be
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: quarantine buddies together. What if that's what they're doing, They're
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: gonna just go spend weeks in like in in an
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: off camera happy couple of weekends. Sweet, they're being quarantine buddies.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: I saw something on Instagram yesterday it was like, will
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: you be my quarantine? You? Just think about how much
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: you have to love someone to be down to spend
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: who knows, weeks on end and just cooped up together.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: I mean yeah, because this could, like things get really
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: interesting here, and if we have a shutdown of any
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: kind or the state widely, she could be stuck there
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: hanging out with Tyler, just her and Tyler together. I mean,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: if that's me, I'm assuming that they're interested in being
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: more than just friends, right. Yeah. And not only is
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: this you know, coronavirus uh this period in our life,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: but it's also Tyler at and I can't even imagine
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: what he's going through having just lost his mom two
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: weeks ago. Um. I mean just think about how like
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: what a kind of emotional and sensitive state he's in,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Like he's going to choose the people that he wants
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: to be with at this time very carefully. M hmm. Wow. Well,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, hey, great for them, terrific for them. They
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: have dated before they tried it again it didn't work out.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: So I mean, we celebrate this, right, We're shipping the
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: ship ships are right word right, we're shipping this relationship.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: We are totally shipping this. And can we talk about
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: the shade that she possibly through last week at Peter
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: because she posted in an instagram of her I think
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: what was she like on a swing or something and
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: it said for freedom And it was right after Hannah
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Anne alluded to Peter reaching out to Hannah be for
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: um closure during their um their engagement. Oh wow, what
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: do you think? Okay, wow, if she did say that,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: you think she was really just shading Peter because Peter
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: probably reached out wanting just to say, hey, Hannah, I'm
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: glad this is done, or hey is this done? And
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: now she's seeing freedom from the rumors that they could
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: be together. Wait where is this picture there? It is?
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: H wait, Jim must have found her in the story.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: I read this a couple of like, like yesterday that
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: somebody said that she captioned a photo in Mazement on
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: her in the story Freedom. And then she posted a
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: picture five days ago on her main feed that says
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: I choose sun over shade. So I don't know I
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: don't know what this means. Actually, quite honestly, I need
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: you to explain it to me. I don't know what
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: she means. Well, I don't know if I know what
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: she means either, but I definitely know that I choose
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: son over shade. Sounds like she thinks somebody was shading
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: her last week. Um, did you think that Hannah Ann
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: was shading her by saying that he reached out? Or
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: she She's saying that she is not going to partake
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: in any of this Peter drama even though she was
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: just kind of pulled into it a little bit. Well,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: here's how we can find out as usual, Almost Famous

• 15:50
  Speaker 1: can educate you. Emails have been in Ashley at i
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: heeart media dot com. Actually, and further Bachelor news. We're
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: gonna go back to Peter for a second. He came
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: out on social media and said that his mom and
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: his family are fine. They fixed things, everything is going
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: to be all right. Uh, they're actually all hanging out
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: together again. Are you surprised? Do you what do you
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: think the file was? Do you know anything about how
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: their family dynamic kind of worked right after the show,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: because I'll tell you this, as as you mentioned on
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: the podcast last week, it definitely wasn't pretty. I mean,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: I can I know they're saying that their family dynamic
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: is fine. Um, I mean, I can't imagine for giving
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: that quickly, especially especially after like his mom didn't even
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: quit after the live show. So, like I said last week,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: she had Monday Nights episode, which was obviously pre taped,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: to go and watch her behavior which wasn't like that
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: bad on Monday Night, and she could have contained herself,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: you know, she could have been on a better bitter
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: behavior right if she wanted to come across a little
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: bit warmer, a littleit more accepting. But then on the
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: live show she decided to be completely not warm and accepting.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: And I was like, Okay, so maybe Barbara is leaning
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: into this like she does not care. She feels so
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: strongly about her opinions on Madison that she's not going
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: to back down on this. She doesn't care what she
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: looks like. And then two days later on Thursday, Peter
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: and Maddie both announced together on Instagram, like you know,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: in separate posts, but we'll post at the same time
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: that they are no longer pursuing a relationship together. And
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: I don't think this is a show. This is such
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: such not a shocker that you and I didn't bring
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: this up until like ten fifteen minutes into the podcast,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: because like we basically knew that they were not going
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: to have a relationship after seeing their dynamics on after
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: the final rows. At the same time as they posted
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: those posts on Instagram, his mom did one of those
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: weird singing things with her friends where she like posts
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: a video of them all in a row singing a
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: song and dancing, and the song was leaving on a
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: jet plane and she was like joyously singing this. This
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: was not like a woman who just coincidentally was singing
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: this song with her friends. At the same time, her
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: son posted an Instagram about like up, whatever, break up
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: if you want to call it that, for you know,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: sake of simplicity. Um, but but like that was the
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: most direct shade ever. Like, this woman loves her villainette,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: she loves being sassy, and um, I'm starting to honestly think,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: what didn't we see with Madison? Is there something that
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: we have completely overlooked it they completely edited out? Because
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: why is this family leaning so hard into the fact
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: that she's not a sweet person or not what we
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: think she is. I mean, I honestly have this you're
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: you're right. I mean it's almost like there has to
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: be more because it doesn't eke sense if there's not.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: The other part this is I remember my mom and
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: I before we did the Life Show together. I sat
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: her down and said, Mom, like, I don't know what
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: they're gonna say. I don't know how what happens on
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: that stage. Mom and Dad, here's my advice. Don't say anything,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: if at all it's gonna be controversial. Just sit there, smile,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: shake your head. We'll figure it out later. And that's
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: exactly what they did. It's interesting when any type of
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: family member feels like it's their stage to take over,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: that's what happens, and it gets dangerous, especially when you,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: you know, continue it on to social media. I think
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: I saw the other day that she had like ninety
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: eight thousand comments on one of her pictures. The craziest
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: thing I've ever heard, insane that's wild. Well, we should
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: also mention that at the time that those posts went up,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Madison was hanging out with Selina Gomez at what lote
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: to be a target, trying to pick out board games
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: for their girls nights. That's amazing, now, that is wild.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: They met at church, the rumors they met at the
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Hillsong Church there in Los Angeles. Uh, it's a really
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: popular church for um, for those people in l A
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: who are I guess celebs. But they were part of
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: the same small group and now they're hanging out in
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: the evening. Um. Madison is going to be just fine,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: and honestly, so is Peter. It's just for the meantime here,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: it feels heavy every time somebody comes up to me
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: and wants to talk about it. I just feel for
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Peter and for, you know, for the family, because you
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: never want this to hurt the family and you never
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: want things to become exposed on national TV that maybe
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: you've been blinded two or you've ignored for a while.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: And so Madison is gonna come out of this just fine.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: It's just gonna take a little bit longer for Peter
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: to kind of get you know, washed through and forgotten
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: about and then he can come back and re emerge,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: you know, into the world. Yeah, I agree. Um, I
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: think that a lot of people left this season being like, oh,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: maybe Hannah Bee and Peter will now rekindle things. Well,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Hannah made it loud and clear this week that she's
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: not rekindling things with Peter Man. Well. Also, Chris Harrison
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: just took to social media to say that they're still
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: trying to figure out what's going to happen next with
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: The Bachelor at So I just want to give us
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: an update there that just happened as we're on here.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: It's breaking news that Chris Harrison says they're still trying
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: to figure out what they're gonna do with The Bachelor atte. Hey,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Claire finally had a shot, Ashley. We want the best
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: for her, We just don't know when it's coming at
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: this point, Ashley. As we close out and say goodbye
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: to you here, Uh, what are your plans in the
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: next I guess what would be your recommendation to listeners
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: to entertain themselves and the next couple of weeks as
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: we're all under quarantine? Okay, well, actually, Chris Harrison also
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: just tweeted that they're trying to figure out what seasons
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: of The Bachelor of the Bachelortte people are most wanting
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: to watch right now, because I think I'm deducting that
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: they're going to put a couple more seasons out there,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: whether on Netflix or on HBO. Um what is the
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: HBO max, which is where I think that they're planning
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: on putting a lot of seasons. So maybe they're going
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: to try to speed that process up. So you guys,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: everybody vote for Crystal this season and Caitlin Versuso season.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: If you guys are watching the Bats now and you
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: haven't watched those seasons, you're going to be in for
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: a treat. So you know, respond to Kris Harrison's tweet
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: with whatever season that you would like to rewatch or
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: see for the first time. I also just want to
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: throw out that, like I just said, being overly cautious
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: right now, but I think Maddie seems like an amazing woman,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: and when I said that, she you know, they're maybe
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: more to the story. I'm not saying that I personally
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: believe there's more, but like I can't believe that the
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Weber family would be reacting if there wasn't some other
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: thing that she did to them other than make them
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: wait for hours, which who thank you Chris Harrison for
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: coming out this week and saying that, um, it was
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: not Maddie throwing a fit or causing the delay in
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: three hours. You cannot You can't hold such a grudge
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: against a girl because she made you wait a couple
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: hours while a show was being made. And you also can't,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: um even for like her saying that no, I don't
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: love your son. I really really believe that it didn't
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: go down that way. I think that when sorry, I'm
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: going on a tangent here, but when Peter's mom says
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: she came to me and said, no, I don't love
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: your son, I'm pretty sure it must have been Have
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: you told my son that you love him yet? And
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: she probably said no because we're not at a point
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: in our relationship where I feel like that's appropriate, because
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: we're having a tough time ran and I'm not really
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: sure if we like see we have the same expectations
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: in a relationship anyway. Huh, Sorry, I just had to
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: get that out there. Ben and other sudden that, um,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: do you have any bench shows? I bet you would
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: recommend I would recommend seasons one and two of The Center,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: especially season one. I would definitely recommend, um getting outside
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: and taking those walks that we were talking about earlier
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: in the show. And um yeah, maybe just games with
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: your family if your home with your family. Um, I
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: haven't played a board game and freaking so long that
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: I think we're going to do it. It's Jared Savord
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: thing and he always wants to play them, and I'm
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: always like Jared board game. They're boring, but I think
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: that I'll rip them out and make them make them happy,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: starting like tomorrow. Yeah, I mean that's it. Bene. Watching TV,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: I like the Ozarks, I'm loving the West Wing. I've
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: watched a lot of it. You go back and watch
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: all the Office shows. Uh, Narcos is a terrific So
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: there's so many things out there. I mean, you can
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: have a blast watching TV, read some books and and actually,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: just before you say goodbye, you don't have to protect
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: yourself here. I get what you're saying. I'm one that
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: doesn't like to blame editing because often times I don't
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: believe editing is I think editing is the easy scapegoat
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: for bad behavior. But quite honestly, I know I've been
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: on this show and I think Chris Harrison and fights,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: but everybody would agree with me. The one thing that
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: I do know is that you're never in charge of
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: timing when you're on the show, and so three hours
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: wait to walk into a house is not Maddie's fault.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: That is something else going on, editing or not. That's
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: just production having to put on a show and probably
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: trying to get their stuff in order before Maddie walks
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: inside due to whatever circumstance invariable, and families need to
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: know that when it comes to the timing of the show,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that have to work out
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: to make things go on time, and it never goes
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: on time. Ashley, You're awesome. We love you. We're gonna
• 25:45

• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Insight available now everywhere you listen to podcasts. Again, if
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: you just started listening to this podcast. This is a
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: podcast focused on how the coronavirus is affecting Bachelor Nation
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: and also pulling on some of Bachelor Nation's favorites and
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: alumni to talk about their experience and their expertise when
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: it comes to facing difficult circumstances or facing a virus
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: like this. Our next caller is Derek Paith, one of
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: my favorite people in the world. I love him dearly
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: as a friend. But he's in New York City right
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: now after New York City just went on a citywide
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: shut down, and Derek, we've got to hear from you.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: How is this changing your life? Ben? People are running
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: in the streets while everyone has started freaking out, and
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure this is the end of New York City. Hey, Derek,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: how you doing, buddy. I'm just kidding, Hey man, I'm
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: doing good. Actually, it's such a weird thing because we're
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: basically like sitting at home every everyone's working from home. Um,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: and this is just like happening around us, and it's
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: happening but like not you know, too many of us,
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: So I don't know. It's just hard to get through.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: I think your head in many cases. But but yeah,
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: just stocked up on toilet paper and food and um,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: ready to be self quarantine for a while. If you could,
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: I mean overly generalize here, because there's a lot of
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: people live in New York City. If you could overly
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: generalize the vibe and the feelings of the emotions of
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: the city right now, the people within it, what would
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: you say. Um, I think there's kind of two camps
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: of people. Uh, there's people who are really annoyed the
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: this is impacting obviously. This is like the center of
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: financial transactions throughout the US in many ways. You know,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: so a lot of in that I work in the
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: finance world, a lot of folks there We're just going like,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: is this are we overreacting too much? You know, like
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: we want to we wanna we want to keep the
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: wheels spinning as normal as possible. And then on the
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: other side, there's like the camp of people who are
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: actually I think of freaking out a little bit too much. Um.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: And like that's where when I went to Whole Foods
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: the other day to get food, you know, people had
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: bought like twenty boxes of pasta and four teen boxes
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: of cereal and I'm going it's not like the grocery
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: store closing. You know you're not going to be stuck
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: for for two months, uh without any way to get anything.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: That's and and so. Um, it's just like really empty
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: everywhere you walk though. Nobody's really walking outside or going
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: any unless they're going to the grocery stops. Pretty much
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: it the I mean, here's here's one of my personal opinions,
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: which you're always fun to to explain on the podcast
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: because there's always go over super well. Um, but I
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: know that I'm saying these things are going Oh no,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: who's gonna tellt me? Yeah, I you know, I don't
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: get I'm I'm a little bit distraught. I understand what
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: we're doing and why we need to stay inside. I
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: think it's a right and responsible decision. I don't understand
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: why consumers are overreacting to the point of buying up everything,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: because that's just irresponsible to everybody involved. Why do you
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: need thirty bottles of hand sanitizer if you're going to
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: be in your house for the next two months and
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: you just bought up all the toilet paper, making everybody's
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: life more difficult. Like, team, we're in this together. Let's
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: slow down. Let's take a step back, like be adults,
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: be responsible and think about others as well. And I
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: think this overreaction to buying off everything off the shelves
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: is sad and it shows what what would could and
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: does happen during mass hysteria, which I still feel like
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: we're on the edge of Derek for work and kind
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: of for you. One of the things, one of the
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: things I've noticed is how uncomfortable people are was slowing down.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's interesting if this would have happened twenty
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: years ago, how much easier probably would have been for
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: so many because we've been used to slowing down. New
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: York City doesn't isn't known to slow down. Is it
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: hard for people right now to take a step back
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: and kind of take a breath. Yeah. I think we've
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: just kind of been forced to um once the school.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: The school thing is, in my opinion, the biggest driver
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: of uh. You know, at that point in time, you go, okay,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: well everybody, you know, there's enough people that have kids.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: We can't just keep doing what we've been doing. There's nowhere, Um,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: there's no like public school system that helped take care
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: of everyone, you know, So uh, that's that I think
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: is like, Okay, we got it. This, this is the
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: decision that's been made. We gotta roll with it. Um.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I think everyone should get the Days
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: though personally I'm a The Day fan. Yeah, I think
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: that that's going to be the next thing to sell
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: out on Amazon. What about dating? I mean, I don't
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: know if you're dating anybody in New York City. I
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: know that you're you know, you've been single. Last time
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: we talked moments from this podcast, I know you were
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: interested in getting out there and exploring. Uh. Dating is
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: obviously changing right now in New York City. Has it
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: changed for you? Uh? Yeah, because you know what, you
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: just can't go anywhere. I mean, I don't know how
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: you I think with our our change of um, you know,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: going so virtual with everything, It's like it's great, a
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: great way to maybe find somebody one off, um, to
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: to like start a conversation with. But how are you
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: supposed to go on a date when like all the
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: restaurants are closed and movie theaters and everything like that.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: So um, I mean it's just like it's it's gonna
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: be very um like go for a walking through the
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: park kind of thing. I think it's gonna be about
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: our only options or you know, cook at home, I guess,
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: but that's kind of weird and uncomfortable for for a
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: first aid if you're gonna do that, right, it really is.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: I was wondering that for for everybody out there dating
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: right now. My girlfriend is in Nashville, Tennessee. I had
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: to come back to Indiana, UM to spend some time
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: here because my house in Denver is being rented out,
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: and so this is the house I have right now
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: because I just got off a tour. Uh, and she's
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: gonna try to make her way up to Indiana here
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: in the next few days. But it is changing the
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: way we're dating. I'm actually personally a little excited about.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, the idea that we can go on a
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: walk and the idea that we can do a puzzle
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: and read now right talk like this. It's an odd switch.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: And and granted this is not good circumstances. This is
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: gonna be hard, and it has been hard for many Uh.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: It's not a great time to be a restaurant owner
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: like myself or a cough shop owner. And also there's
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: people out there, like the people that work on tour
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: with me. When we got off of it, who now
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: no longer have any type of income or job and
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: don't have an outlook to find a job because all
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: the tours have been canceled. This is a hard season
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: and let's not forget that. But it's also, in a
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: sense oddly peaceful of how much we all are going
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: to have to slow down totally. I'm sad I missed you.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: You're gonna be here this weekend. It was going to
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: be in New York City. Yeah, it's really weird man
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: that the Bachelor Live on Stage tour had been incredible. Man. Uh,
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: we had sold out most of the shows. We had
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: just had a huge show in Minneapolis of about three
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: thousand people, and that was our last show until the break.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: And then we're sitting at dinner and they called us
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: and I mentioned earlier, but they called us and said, hey,
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: you're going home. But the truth is we hope to
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: get back on the tours, you know, as soon as
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: this can clear. But yeah, it stinks. We're gonna be
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: in New York City this weekend for what was gonna
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: be our I guess show yet, Yeah, the Beacon Beacon.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: But well, hey, we'll come back and see you soon. Derek,
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: You're the man. What I'm gonna ask everybody comes on
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: the podcast today, what was your top five things you
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: want to accomplish why you're quarantine m hmm, okay, So
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: Number one, I've already have uh set of three books
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: that I've decided I'm going to read, um since instead
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: of going and traveling, you know, to work and to
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: go to different things like forcing myself to sit down
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: and I have not been reading enough. Um. And then
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: the second thing is I'm gonna start running again because
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: obviously I'm not going to be going to a gym.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: Those are closing down as well. Um. And I don't know,
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: those are like the only two things I really did have.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: I guess called my family more would be a good one.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: I don't do that enough. Um. And I'm sure you
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: get that like living so far away from you know,
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: where all your family is, it's it's uh, it's a
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: good chance to take care of some of that extra
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: space of being stuck by yourself and instead of being
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: around people and and make sure you you go and
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: do that. Let's see, I'm gonna say number four. One
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: of my best friends, Olivia, I just got a new puppy,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: this week, and she lives just down the street, so
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: I'm definitely gonna go play with a new puppy. Let's see.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Number five is going to be eat right, I guess
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: because I'm cooking mine for myself. Um, you can't really
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: like use postmates like I do all the time, so
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: you know, I guess you canna have a few more

  Speaker 1: with Travis Stork. Travis, Welcome to the almost famous podcast.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Well thanks for having me. I appreciate it. How are you.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: I'm good man. Hey. Years ago when we started this podcast,
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: we were talking about dream guests, and you're one of them.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: I don't say that to pump you up. I say
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: that because I've always been so impressed with how you've
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: handled yourself in your career altogether. You have an amazing
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: career as the host of the Doctors with how many
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: seasons have been twelve seasons, Believe it or not, it's insane. Man. Well,
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: I've I've been on your show before kind of I
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: don't know if you remember this, but accidentally I came
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: to watch a buddy of mine who was going to
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: be one of your guests, uh, and I was able
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: to sit backstage and kind of watch you do your thing,
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: and it is impressive. So I just want to say
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: that real real quick. You don't know this, but so
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: you're talking about Chris Stramberg, Chris Cupcake. So Chris, do
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: you know this? Do you know that Chris actually is
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: the one who introduced me to my wife. I did
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: not know that. Yeah, so that wasn't just a buddy
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: of your So yeah, Chris is an instrumental person in
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: my life. UM. But yeah, I love meeting you back
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: then and it's been years. But it's crazy. I guess
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: we're both Um, I guess we're both part of the
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: The Bachelor fraternity forever. Huh. Yeah, we really are. Like
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: it or not, we are a part of it. And
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: uh and this show uh specifically celebrates the Bachelor and
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: everything it's done for all of us that have kind
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: of allowed us to launch a whole new platform or
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: career from me. But Travis, we have here today, Dr
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: Travis Stork is on the line to talk about the
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: recent developments with the coronavirus UM. Now we were hearing
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: words right now, self isolating, self distancing UM. People are
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: now quarantining themselves by being recommended by the doctors until
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: what do you think of all this? And will slow
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: down anytime soon? So a couple of things, And first
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: things first, most people know me as host of the Doctors,
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: and I'm happy you've plugged the podcast because I've really
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: been covering this coronavirus topic a lot. But first and
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: foremost before I was never in front of the cameras.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: I'm any yard doctor. So I have a lot of
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: strong feelings about this and what's been you're seen as
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: my feelings are strong if you're on either end of
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: the spectrum, and so right now we have in some
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: camps it's pure mass hysteria, and then the opposite spectrum
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: is people think it's a bit of a joke. This
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: is just like the fluid open deal. So where we're
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: at right now is a ton of unknowns. And in
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: the medical fields, I talked to all my friends across
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: the country regularly in the ark. What I'm trying to
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: get a sense of and the concern we have is
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: the art doctors is hospitals are already spread thin, and
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: just today alerts out there that we're running low on
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: blood products. So these are for all of the things
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: that we might have to deal with in addition to coronavirus.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: So if we see a massive surge in cases over
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: the next two three weeks, one to months, if it
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: happens too quickly, we just do not have the resources
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: to take care of every one who might need respiratory support.
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: And so that that's where we're all. Just that's where
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: we're definitely scared if that were to happen. Yet, having
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: said all of that, the mass hysteria is completely unnecessary
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: because the world will go on. This is not a
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: virus that if you catch it, you are likely to
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: have a bad outcome from it. The people who tend
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: to get affected the worst are are the elderly people
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: with underlying conditions. But having you know, said all that,
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: there are a minority of patients who are otherwise healthy
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: right now, then there are multiple e R doctors in
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: intensive care units intimated in the country you've caught this.
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: So that's why I tell people be be aware, be
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: a little bit scared of what could happen, just as
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: a society. But overall, there's no reason to panic because
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: in two three years we'll look back at this and
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: we'll say, you know what that was. That definitely raised
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: our alarm levels, but we got through it. M now
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: just a little uh. And I don't know if we
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: can answer this question, how does something like this start?
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: Where does it come from? And then why is it
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: that we haven't seen many things like this? Uh, at
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: least on a global scale, and I mean at least
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: my lifetime and really in the last hundred years. And
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you said that because people will bring up
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: Spanish flue. None of us were really alive back then,
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: but that was that was the last time you had
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: a virus just spread across the world and killing millions
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: of people. Well this so this is how let's break
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: it down really quickly. We'll go back to the virology.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: What a viruses, Well, viruses need to be inside of
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: a living cell to survive, and basically what they do
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: is this virus tends to attack cells in the lower
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: respiratory track. It then uses your cell to replicate, and
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: then when you cough or sneeze, that viruses shed and
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: then it needs to find a new host. And so
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: it just that's how it's spreading so um prolifically. But
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: these viruses, they're constantly evolving. So coronavirus, it's a family
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: of viruses. And I'll still remember my first year medical
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: school as I was learning about the coronaviruses that existed.
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: Then you know a lot of coronaviruses when I was
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: studying to med school, which was sadly, you know, this
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: is over twenty years ago. I'm I'm an old fogy
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: now then, but the coronaviruses were we tend to tended
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: to think of the meds viruses that just call caused
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: the cold. Well, since then you know this family of viruses.
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: Also we've seen stars and mers. Those were coronaviruses. The
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: reason that they did not spread to the US is
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: that they had a higher mortality rate, so they would
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: kill off. Basically, a dumb virus is one that kills
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: too many people because it needs hosts. It needs your
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: the host who lives, to pass itself on to others,
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: to replicate to um, to spread throughout of prop population.
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: So this virus, which we think again started in China,
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: uh probably initially a virus that passed from an animal
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: to human. Now it's human to human. It is spreading
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: so quickly because it's contagious. It can live on surfaces,
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: it's incredibly contagious, can live on services three days maybe more.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: It can hang out in the air potentially for three hours,
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: so you can inhale it, you can touch it. You
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: can get it by touching your face if it's on
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: your hands, I should say touching your eyes or nose um.
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: And that's what's making it so crazy, because this virus
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: is brilliant, it's smart, It keeps most of its hosts
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: alive doing relatively well, so they're gonna go out there.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: If you're going out and about and you're in large gatherings,
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: you may not even know you have it. And meanwhile
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: you're spreading it to others who then maybe you spread
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: it to someone who's going to have a bad outcome,
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: like your grandma for instance. That's too bad. I mean
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: it is wild too, because I just was listening to
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: views today of a couple of people who have the virus.
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: They've tested positive and they feel fine, and they feel normal,
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: and they're up and they're moving around and they're wondering
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: what this all this, you know, virus hysterias about. And
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: speaking of hysteria. Over the last couple of days, l
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: A and New York and other cities including Denver are
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: closing movie theaters and restaurants. Uh and also Jim's will
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: this work to slow it down? I mean this self,
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of people right now have a
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: lot of questions about this self isolation, this quarantine. They're
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: fighting it. They don't like it, they think it's ridiculous.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: Is this the way to really help it. Well, there
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: are degrees, so there's a huge difference between social distancing,
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: self isolation, and quarantine. So quarantine, if you are inspected
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: or think you're infected, then quarantine is necessary because what
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: you're trying to do is minimize your impact with the
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: world while you get better. Self isolation is similar, um,
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: but that might look a little more like, hey, we're
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: just we really want to lay low right now. Maybe
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: you live in a household where people are high risk.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: For me, you know, my wife is twenty seven weeks pregnant,
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: and although we don't think this is putting pregnant women
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: in an increased risk, I'm obviously very cognizant of her
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: and her exposures. But social distancing is something entirely different altogether.
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: And that's right now, that's what I'm telling people to do.
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: You should still, in my opinion, go outside and go
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: for walks with your family, get get out and get
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: some fresh air as springs here. What you shouldn't do
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: now is go hang out at a bar with five
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: other people and while you're high five and everyone, because
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: that's that's how this virus gets transmitted. So there's a
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: social distancing is I think something we can all do
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: and it's it's not a huge sacrifice, and that means
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: that you know a lot of people. Still. If you
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: have a job where you have to go to work,
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: well it's just slightly different. If you work in an
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: office and in your company still has you go to work.
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: If you're keeping yourself five I should say six ft
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: away from others, well that's social distancing. If you have
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: a job where you're working in manufacturing and you're keeping
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: some social distance from others, that that is social distance. Team.
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: So I want people to understand there is a happy
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: medium here. Um complete it's if you're otherwise healthy and
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: your low risk, your low risk. These social distancing measures,
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: what they're designed to do is prevent the the rate
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: at which this is being spread, so that we do
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: not end up overwhelming our health care system and so
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: that people who are at risk. And again we're all
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: a little bit at risk because I'm just telling events
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: as in the art doc and a shout out to
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: anyone on the front lines right now, every single person
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: who is in emergency medicine or UM. If you're out
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: as a first responder taking calls in the field, anyone
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: out there putting themselves at risk too to help people
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: just they deserve so much credit because there are there
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: are people right now in the I see you doctors
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: who are otherwise healthy who have gotten really sick from this.
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: But by and large, the mortality, the high rates, the
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: mortality um they're in older people. People over eighty were
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: seen about. Again, I'm throwing this out there. It could
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: change right now. Maybe eighteen percent mortality rate. So that's
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: if you think about it, and you have a loved
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: one at home, or you're going to visit grandma and
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: she's over eighty or grandpa, that's a that's a really
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: high mortality rate. And that's assuming having care. If we
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: don't overrun our healthcare systems, it's like it's a conundrum.
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: Then it's it's it's a little bit off. If I
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: don't get people to heighten their awareness and this runs
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: am uck, we're in trouble. If we all just take
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: some simple measures and as a society we do a
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: good job of social distancing, and it's things like I'll
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: use this example with restaurants. You know, I want local
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: businesses to still stay afloat. Well, we still all have
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: to eat, and there are restaurants taking measures where in
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: communities where um, maybe restaurants aren't closed, but there where
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: they're putting in place where people are coming in getting
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: take out, the restaurants still making money, people are still
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: getting nutritious meals. There. There are ways to do this
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: to mitigate it um that can be effective, and that's
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: why we call it mitigation versus like what you saw
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: and move on in China, these severe um containment strategies
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: where people I can't even leave their home, much like
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: you're seeing in Italy. Now, well, you know that's the
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: thing is. I have two restaurants in Denver and I
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: was just saying or on the podcast. We've officially been
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: told that we have to close them for sit down seating,
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: but we're gonna do take out and delivery. There are
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: measures that are that are not hysterical in nature yet
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: wise because we don't want to overflood the health care system,
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: which brings me to this now when we're talking about
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: hysterical measures, one of the things that's going on even
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: here in Indiana and small town Indiana is all the
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: toilet paper and all the hand hand sanitizer has been
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: bought is that wise for us to go out and
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: load up as much as we can on these things,
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: or is that just pointless well hoarding where let's say
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: half of the people in our country you get a
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: lot and the other half get nothing. That is, that's
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: not the way to go. Um. I think in life
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: I've learned and getting back to the importance of prevention
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: and being prepared. A little goes a long way. And
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: so if you're going to get you know, if you
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: go to the store and you're looking to stock up
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: on a couple of weeks worth of food just in
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: case someone in your family gets sick or um, we
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: have to institute more strict measures. You know. What I
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: do is I focus on getting these higher calorie healthy
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: foods like nuts and nut butters and and cans of
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: things like beings where you know these are because let's
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: let's keep in mind, we need our immune systems to
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: be healthy during the time, and things like maybe some
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: frozen fruit things that will keep longer, but also you
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: can eat them and it will optimize your nutrition. But
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: we don't you know, I don't have a crystal ball,
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: But I don't see a scenario here with this virus
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: where you're going to you know where you're going to
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: have grocery stores completely closed and we have no access.
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: What's what's kind of cool about today's society and you
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: just alluded to it basically the ability to modify our behaviors.
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: You know, we we have a more tela connected society
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: than ever And podcasts are a great example that. Well
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: we still and and as of now, USPS, FedEx, they're
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: all still delivering. We still even though things are out
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: of stock, we can still are things to be Amazon,
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: there are there are. The world, like I said, is
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: not going to come to an end. So people who
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: are out there stockpiling two years worth of things, that's
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of the tragedy of the split
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: check there. If you're not if you're if you're not
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: willing to like stockpile enough to get you through the
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: next few weeks, maybe even months or so months at
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: some point. But this isn't gonna this isn't gonna be
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: something that's two three, four years where like one guy
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: intended to you at eighteen thousand bottles of hand tandit Fizer. Yeah,
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: that's the best next level it is. I just actually,
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: as you're talking I looked up my my buddies are
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: texting me a picture of the King's supers and in Colorado,
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: and it's empty. I mean right now it is empty,
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: which which in a sense to me is frustrating because
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: there isn't a need for it, as you said, and
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: it ends up putting the vulnerable in a bad position
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: if they do get sick and there's no place to
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: turn for the supplies and the things they need to
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: stay home and to get better and to recover. H.
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: Final question for you, Uh, if there's somebody in your
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: family or a friend, or if yourself are feeling under
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: the weather um with the symptoms that come with a coronavirus,
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: what do you recommend them doing? What are the proper
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: most responsible steps H To not infect others and to
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: get healthy themselves. Well, if you're talking about someone who's
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: otherwise healthy and and feels otherwise pretty well, I I
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: don't want to get into the situation where you're thinking about,
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: oh my gosh, do we need the e R. But
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: if you they're starting to set up mobile testing clinics,
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: and so I think right now, if you're just not
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: sure what to do, you think you might have coronavirus UM.
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: Telemedicine is a great option getting in touch with if
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: you have a healthcare provider via telehealth phone calls whatever
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: you may need, or going to a mobile clinic or
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: one of these mobile testing sites, or looking online trying
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: to figure out your area where's the easiest place to
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: get tested without potentially exposing everyone else. And then if
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: you do find out that you're positive or you know
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: what you're you're not feeling great, You're not sure what
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: it is, but you just wanted to be a good
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: member of society and laylo. All you really have to
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: do is around the house, washing your hands a lot.
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: If you're going to be around family members in your house,
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: do throw on a surgical mask something where if you're
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: coughing or sneezing, it's not spreading into the home. And
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: then if you you know, that's the one time where
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: I tell people be real fastidious with just cleaning door
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: knobbed sink handles, anything that is that the sick family
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: member is is touching UM. And then just as a
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: sick name member, Netflix and chill. If you're otherwise helping
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: doing okay as much as you can in an area,
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: maybe your own room where you're not interacting as much
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: as usual with your family, um, other than the necessary things,
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: and that will go a long way to preventing others
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: from getting sick. Ad and then shameless plug just because
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: it just literally just dropped and you know, I just started.
• 55:33

• 57:55
  Speaker 1: very good knowledge for life. It's not just about you.
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: It's about the people that are susceptible to getting drastically
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: affected by this virus. So stay away so that most
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: people are not infected by this fast spreading corona virus. Well,
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: we talked a lot with Dr Stork about the hysteria
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: that's following the virus. And while we are UH, cities
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: are being shut down, states are being UM put on alert,
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: and schools are being led out and made to stay home.
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: People are freaking out. We forget that we're all in
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: this together. And with any type of mass hysteria, there's
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: obviously anxiety that comes about as well. And that's what
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: we're gonna bring on Taylor Nolan here in just a
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: second to talk about how we can handle anxiety and
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: stress and all the things that come with UM the
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: hysteria that's facing the coronavirus. But before we do, it's
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: like one more break, talk about our sponsors, and come
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: back with Taylor Nolan Taylor Nolan from Nick File season
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: of The Bachelor. Uh, common guests to the Almost Famous
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: podcast is on the line right now talking to us
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: about how we can handle handle anxiety and the pressure
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: and the stresses and the confusions that come with so
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: many things that are unknown, especially this virus. Taylor, welcome
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: back to the Almost in this podcast. Hey, thank you
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: so much for having me back. Unfortunately under not the
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: best of circumstances, but happy to be here. Yeah, you know,
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: it isn't the best of circumstances. We just got done
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: talking to Dr Travis Stark about kind of the health
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: concerns and U the issues with that come with trying
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: to keep ourselves healthy while also trying to keep others healthy. Uh,
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: and how quickly this virus can spread. All those things
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: said we can hear from a doctor who says, hey, uh,
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: this is a major issue. This is spreading fast. Uh.
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: Mortality grades for people that are elderly or with underlying
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: health concerns is concerning. However, if you're a healthy young adult, uh,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: you will typically recover just fine from this. But this
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: is not a problem for you as much as it
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: is a problem for those who are uh, you know,
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: maybe a little older. Well, all this being said, there's
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: a lot of stress right now. It feels like in
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: the world, which reads me My first question, how do
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: we handle anxiety during a time of so much unknowns? Yeah, Unfortunately,
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: when you talk about control right and things being unknown,
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: that is usually where we experience the highest amount of anxiety. UM.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: Having some kind of control or feeling like we know something,
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: it gives us a sense of comfort, and when we don't,
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: it's definitely leads to spike and anxiety. It can lead
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: to even further health complications. UM. So it is really
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: important to focus on your self nourishment. I like to
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: call it UM and the emotional boundaries UM. One thing
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: that I'm finding with the virus and and all the
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: information that's out there, UM, we're really getting like overloaded
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: with information, and I think that that is causing a
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: huge amount of increase and anxiety because we feel like
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: we have to constantly be plugged in, We have to
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: constantly be following all the statistics, getting every single piece
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: of information possible, when really, you know, we gotta stick
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: to what we know. UM, focus on what we can
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: actually control, and really set limits around our social media
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: and news information in take Taylor right now. You just
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: mentioned it. There's a lot of things kind of out
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: of our control. You can't see the virus. You don't
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: know when you're gonna get it, if you're going to
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: get it, who's going to get it? Uh. You also
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: don't even know at this point. Um, if you can
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: go to the grocery store and get your necessities that
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: you need to just operate in the world. There's a
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: lot of things outside of our control. What are some
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: ways as individuals we can practice kind of getting our
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: focus back. We mean not control back, because it's impossible,
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: but our focus back in our our minds back to
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: a place of responsibility, wisdom and focus. M h yeah.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: And I like that you're using the word of focus
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: because it's it brings me to the word that I
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: think answers this question the best, which is mindfulness. And
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: I know that sounds sometimes like a really big word
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: and feels like it's so out there. Um, but I
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: think in order to actually really focus on on what
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: we can do, we have to have a certain level
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: of mindfulness happening and so becoming more present in our environment. Um.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: Even something as simple as going for a walk, you
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: know that's something I did. UM over the weekend, I
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: went for a walk around my neighborhood and just literally
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: focused on every plant that I walked by. UM. Getting
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: super present in your literal present moments, being mindful of
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: of what's coming up for you, of what you're seeing,
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: of what you're elane, of what you're hearing. You know,
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: the cars going by or the birds chirping. UM, those
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: things will help reduce anxiety because you're not stressing out
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: about what's going to happen or what could happen, and
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: you're not thinking about what has happened. UM, You're really
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: just there in the present moment. So I think doing
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: at small exercises like that right now. UM. Staying connected
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: to your community, you know, whether that's face timing friends. UM.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: I've even moved some of my dates that I was
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: supposed to have in person to being FaceTime dates. UM.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: Maintaining physical health. Like I said, going for a walk,
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: that's a good way to practice mindfulness. UM. Even I
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: know last from I was on the podcast, I think
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: I brought up, UM that I've been training for sex
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: therapy right now, and masturbation is a great way to
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: relieve some of that physical anxiety in addition to doing
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: something like going for a walk or or a hike. Um,
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: trying to just relieve some of that physical anxiety that
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: comes up. The physical anxiety is present. I mean we
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: see it right now. Even I'm in small to Indiana
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: and and everybody is is trying to get out, move around.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: The trails here are packed with people. Uh and and
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: a lot of times right now, Taylor, there's a lot
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: of people are spending time together. They're self quarantining. But
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: yet it's groups of five or six people. For me,
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: it's my family in a house of three, and my
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: girlfriend's coming up here soon. What are some good practices
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: as people were together to not get on each other's nerves, um,
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: to try to to try to stay self aware of
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: what we're doing while at the same time how others
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: are feeling. Uh. Any any tips or traits to make
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: sure that we're staying on top of our awareness. Yeah. Well,
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: one thing, I think allowing space while you are still
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: with other people can be really helpful because there you
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: might be in the situation where you know you're in
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: a house of a group of people and that one
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: person is constantly refreshing Twitter and reading out all of
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: the news to you, and it could just be creating
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: more anxiety for you. So UM, implementing some emotional boundaries
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: like saying, you know, I appreciate how informed you are,
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: but I really don't want to know what's going on. UM,
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna take some time in my room, UM,
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: you know, and just kind of regroup. UM. I think
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: doing something like that could really help. UM. But I
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: also think doing things that aren't necessarily related to everything
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: that's going on, right, doing things like playing puzzles and um,
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: you know, even playing video game, cooking meals together, really
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: just getting back to the basics, UM, because in each
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: of those things, you know, so you are cooking a meal, UM,
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: with with your partner, with a family member that you're
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: quarantining with. UM, that's getting you all very focused on
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: the present moment, on what you're doing. You know, how
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: you're chopping the carrots, what goes in uh to the
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: pot next UM. And with all of that, hopefully you
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: are able to take some time for yourself just to
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: continue to check in and ask yourself, you know, how
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: am I feeling right now? Is there a tightness in
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: my test? Am I having some anxiety come up? What
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: can I do to take care of myself now? And
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: these are all skills that hopefully we are practicing on
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: the regular, but in a time like this, we really
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: have to get focused and checking in with ourselves, not
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: only to maintain our emotional health and to also protect
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: our our physical health. In a time like this, there's
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: a that's terrific reminders and also a new knowledge for
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: me is just to continue to meditate, to continue to
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: take time for myself, to continue to do things that
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: I enjoy that I appreciate at the same time investing
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: in others. H. Taylor, we really appreciate your advice in
• 1:06:31
