• 1:33
  Speaker 1: like you would give me a different gift each time,

• 1:55
  Speaker 1: things here? How does this make you feel? And what

  Speaker 1: do you think he was trying to accomplish. I think
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: he was used to certain l A type of people
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: that are into that sort of thing. But it would
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: be one thing if we like hit it off in
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: the dates and like we're talking about interesting things, but
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: mostly we talked about like the weather and like workout
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: classes and like things that like I could talk to
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: anyone about. Um, so we weren't really like connecting a

  Speaker 1: that an expectation? And Sinea, I gotta ask you did
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: that keep you around out of curiosity or because you
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: felt cared for? I wanted to stay around for the
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: story to tell my friends because everyone was like very
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: like confused by this interaction. Um. Yeah, I tried to
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: stay as long as I could, but it started getting
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: a little weird, so I opted out. Do you think
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: he's a listener to the almost blown up in spot
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: a couple of times? Now? Um, so are you done
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: dating in the Bachelor world? Um? You never know. I'm open. Yeah,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: you go, you're not a pilot Pize season? Then I
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: am not a pilot Pete season. Um did not crash
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: that season, but we'll see. Would you have wanted to
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: be on that season? Like, would you if they would
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: have asked, would you have been interested? Um, if it
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: was like him over Colton, Oh no, I'm saying like
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: you could have done like do like a beck of
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: thing where you come back again, that would be super interesting.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I feel like people would not be into that. But um,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I mean I find him very charming and like and
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I met him on the finale of Bachelor in Paradise
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, this he's a charmer. So yeah,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: I would have been interested in dating him, but it's
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: and I think that that ship is sales. But yeah,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: I think it's over. Yeah, I think you might be
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: engaged right now. So it's not to me both because
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I wasn't to him too. I think he's a great dude. Yeah,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: you guys have similar vibes, though, I think like he's
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: like it's a personality wise. You guys are very like
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: regal and like but personable. Yeah. Well, you know, he
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: really brings to the table a lot of the things
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: that I think, Um, the franchise, I mean, you know,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I loved Mike. I thought Mike would have been a
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: great Bachelor choice. But I really think Pete is going
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: to walk into this thing and thrive because with the
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: franchise needs is somebody who's really interested in finding their
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: their want, and I think he wants to find it.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Like I don't know if it's going to happen. Things
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: happen where you know, you find somebody and then it ends.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: But I think he's going into it with the intention of,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: like I want to find somebody, and I'm hoping this
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: is is. I also heard he falls for people, really
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: falls in love really quickly, which thanks for good some
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: of us more than once. Um. I'm not naming names,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: but so you're not going on pilot Pete season, you're
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: not against dating in the Bachelor franchise. You're dating in

• 9:21
  Speaker 1: and he does it really well. Um, he's invested in
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: you know, his time on the Batchel. I think he
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: was known for being the erection doctor um, which was
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: a wildly successful project for him. I think he's doing
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: very fine. There is a lot of need uh in

• 9:44
  Speaker 1: really interesting guy to talk to, and you would never
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: know how. I never have understood how he does all
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: of this and yet has I mean, I think he
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: had what a couple of kids of his own when
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: him and Carly met, and now two kids with her,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: and he's not that old like this dude moves and
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: grooves fertile has need his own help. That's what we're saying.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: He doesn't need his own help. Um Nick Vile. Nick
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Viole is back into our Bachelor news. He denies dating
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: rumors about Demi, which was a an article that we
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: we saw all over the press. What is going on here?
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: What do you know? I know that Nick and Demi
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: are close. I think Nick is like he kind of
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: guides Demi in this new world that she's in, and
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: I think she looks up to him. She was like
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: she like loved him before going on Bachelor or anything,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: like she had a big crush on him. But I
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: think they now have more of her working relationship. So
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: it may seem, um, but yeah, I think Demi was
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: getting hurting those rumors to him. Was not super happy
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: about those rumors. Yes, so do you know Demi will?
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah pretty well. Yeah. So what was it? I mean,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: this happens all the time, there's rumors of people dating.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: What was it about this that caused such a turmoil.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: I think it's because Demi just got out of her
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: engagement with Christian, So if she's dating Nick, that would
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: be it would not be a long enough time frame
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: for them to even be dating, right now, you know
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: what I mean? It makes sense. I didn't even think
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: about that. Yeah, he just got engaged, just got engaged.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, from what they're saying, they reach out to
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: each other as friends. They have spent time together, but
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: they're just friends. Yeah, they're just friends. Yeah, Nick Nick
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: I've always said this on the podcast. He does this
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: thing on Instagram called like Answers with Nick or something,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Between that and his painting shirtless, um,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I find myself just wasting a ton of time on
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: his interne Those stories are actually very interesting and I
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: actually Dean just comment on this where he's one of
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: those people that's not necessarily successful in relationships from what
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: we've seen. But you have this pretty good dating advice.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: But it's the wildest. Yeah, you read his dating advice
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: like I would have. I don't know how he came
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: up with that. I know it's actually very insight how
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: much time it took to respond as well as he
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: did to everybody. I just like, don't know why he
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: hasn't applied it to his own life experience. But I
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: think you might have caught onto something. I don't know
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: what that is, but I'm wondering what happened. Well, Demmi
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: and Nick are not dating. They're just good friends. Okay,

  Speaker 1: track each other. I think it's gonna be the best
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: word on their phones, find my friends, find my friends.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: A good example. This happened to me a few years
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: ago in my life. My buddy Jordan's Jordan's hays been,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: They're gonna download this app. It's gonna be fun. Well
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: in up happening was I'm a good liar in college,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: really good liar for one on one really topic individually
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: was Hey, I don't want to hang out tonight, so
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell my friends I'm in the library. I
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: want to be in the library. I would be out
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: or I'd be home, sleeping, napping, whatever. And I can
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: at text from Jordan Jordan's ben, I thought you said
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: you were going to be in the library. Um, I
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: thought you said you were gonna You're at Wendy's. Like
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: all of these things that I just didn't little those
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: little white lies to cover up what I'm doing, to
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: not have to say no. I started to come out
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: and then I would get these weird texts like pick
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: me up, let us at the grocery store. And that's
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: where we got so Sidney before we bring in these
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: two very special guests who love to track their friends
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: on Find my Friends. Um Sney, what do you think
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: of all this? Okay, so one thing that could be
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: good about this is for safety. So like someone gets kidnapped,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: they are on Find my Friends, you can find them.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: That's one. But like extreme reason, I like it because
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: then I know when I have my follow my roommate,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: so I know when she's coming, like close to being home,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: so I can clean up the apartment really quickly, so
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I don't look like a slab. Things like that are good.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: You do you do this? I deal with my roommate.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't do what significant others a lot.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: But also I get why you would do it. I
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: mean it keeps everything up out in the open, so
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: like you can't hide anything. Yeah, you can also do
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: things where you go like ghosts. Which is it mean
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: if I I have Find my Friends and I have
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: a friend on there, and I'll see my significant other.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: So Jessica and I are following each other and find
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: my friends, and all of a sudden, for a period
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: of time, she ghosts and disappears. That's almost That's where
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: that's where I started asking questions, Yeah, I don't know. Okay,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: so I'm saying this earlier. I'm a little upset about it.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Here's my reasoning. It's it's intrusive. Is now allowing everybody
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: into our lives at a level that I don't feel
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: comfortable with. Um, even if you have nothing to hide,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: it just feels burdensome to me that somebody would know
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: where I'm at all times, no matter what I'm doing.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: And I say this and Eastern and Mark ran studio
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: right now goes east and goes I followed Jared and
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Mark says, I follow Dean one. I would not want
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: to know her. Deans at most of most of it.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: It's as good though, because he could get lost berries,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: he could get kicknapped eas And I want to start
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: with you, what why? And like, do you ever feel
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: weird about this? No? I don't feel weird about this.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: I follow a lot of people, and a lot of
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: people follow me. Dean can see my location, but I
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: can't see his, which I think is kind of fun. Um.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: This started we were doing the help of secondating podcast
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: here at Heart Radio, and I just sent my location
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: everyone in the room. Mark follows me. Tory, who works
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: on the show follows me, I follow her to UM,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: I follow a nuber of other people who work here,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: my wife, some of our friends. I feel very uncomfortable
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: right now. I'm gonna send it to you just a
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: moment here. I don't have the app. Oh you do.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: We were doing the Post Show podcast with I Heart
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Radio at the Seacrest Morning Show staff does a show
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: called the Post Show, and we said, let's all do it.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: So we all did it, and I think it's fun.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: So like on Saturday night, I'll go on and say, oh,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: siss and he's in for the night, she got the twins. Oh,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Tanya is out, she's out out, She's in Hollywood. She's
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: having a great time. I like saying whatever, Eathan to Disneyland. Usually,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: is there ever a time that you would not want
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: someone to see where you're at? I can't imagine where
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: that would be. And that's why I got in and
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: I was like, well, I mean, I'm I'm a dad.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: You know. I go to Ralph and I go home,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: but there's not much in between. So like right now,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you where Denis you want to Ordinas? I
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: would love Dean is on the five Freeway near the
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: one seventy. I can't tell if he's going north or south,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: but yeah, he's in that darn van of his and
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Jared Jared Haven Oh, Boston, Massachusetts. I would that's actually
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: helpful because I walked in I was like, where's actually
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: at today? If you had her location on your phone,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: you wouldn't have to wonder. So does this all four
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: of us? Please chime in here? And listeners please email
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: sit been in Ashley, Iheartmady dot com or hashtag the
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: almost famous podcast on Twitter. By the way, it's a
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: little almost fame. His podcast nominated for a Top five Podcast.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Let's go, thanks listeners. Um, you've cut me in a
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: job for two years now. Um, I actually heard a
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: statuo this is crazy. And then we'll get back to
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: this over like thirty five million listens now to this point. Wow,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: that's a lot of people. That's incredible. That's a lot
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: of people. Okay, so does it change anything when you're dating? Okay,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: you're not married yet, Mark, say you're not married at
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: this point? You're not. Is it weird to do this
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: as you're dating? Because coltman Cassie are not engaged and
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: they're not married. They are dating. They don't live together,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: but they are exclusive definitely, like you know, so does
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: it make it any weirder or less weird? Wigh and
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: your thoughts, listeners and then every in the room, what
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: do you think? I think it would create more suspicion.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: I think it'd be like, Oh, he's at that restaurant.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Is he with? I wonder? I wonder who's there with
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: He's probably with his buddies, but who knows. I wonder
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: what's happening. I think it just creates a lot of
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: questions that don't need to happen, and then up the
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: question of like when do you actually ask to follow
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: them on fine friends? Like boy It's more than like
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: are we boyfriend? Girl friend? Can I see where you
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: are at all times? Can I stop you with your permission? Yeah?
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't even dream if I was a dating man,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't dream of even doing this unless we were
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: living together. Yeah, I agree, Yeah, and then I would
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: want to know when she was coming home. So that
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: because then if you like break up, like you know,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: the guys that still follow you on Instagram and watch
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: all of your things but like ghosted you like those
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: type people, it would be like that where I would
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: feel I don't know. I would probably still watch it
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: for whatever reason and just like know where they are
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: at all times, but for no right away probably not.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think about me. You're saying, I have
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: this app on my phone already, salmon or serious relationship.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: I start following this person, I don't use the app
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: for a couple of months. All of a sudden I
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: get back on the app and I can see them
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: at some like forget it is that makes me hurt
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: talking about it, like like your best friend's house, that
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: would be but it would create a story, Sydney, and
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: that's what we're stories, good stories. Well anyways, listeners, is
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: it weird? Is and not? I don't know. Some people
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: like it, some people don't. I don't like the idea
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: of following somebody on my phone, but that's just me.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: I'm also, you know, thirty going on seventy. It feels
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: like sometimes when it comes and it comes to technology. Um.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Colton Cassie also we brought it up, but we didn't
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: talk about it. Uh, they are not living together. They
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: discussed this publicly. This has also been a discussion. Um
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: that's came up in my life. Recently on the how
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Man Think podcast with I Heart Radio. Um, what are
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: your thoughts sitting about living together in an exclusive dating relationship? Also,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: let's move that into uh like a fiance engagement relationship.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: And I want to give you my backstory. Right, So,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: I grew up in a small conservative town. Um, it
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: is a part of kind of the moral fabric to
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: relationships that you don't live together until marriage. That was
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: kind of how how I was raised. Um, even though
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: I think my parents probably did for a little bit. Um,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: it was just like kind of what people, um thought
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: in my town. My parents have never really spoken out
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: against it, by the way, Um, it's just kind of
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: the idea around it. And then, um, Laura and I
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: moved in together after our engagement the show, it got
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of controversy. I didn't realize it because I've
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: been very outspoken about my faith in Jesus. I fully
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: believe in Jesus, and when we moved in together, I
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: didn't even think about how the repercussion from the masses
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: would feel. But it was a lot of comments like
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: I thought, you said this, but this is the actions
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: you're choosing. No, I didn't know how to necessarily process
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: that because there's a lot of reasons why you move
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: in together. One uh, financially, it's it's a lot easier
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: to Laura and I didn't really know each other, so
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: we knew we had to learn a little bit about
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: each other. Move on from Laura. Now you know, Jessica
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: and I are not living together. We actually live in
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: two separate cities, Nashville and Denver. Um. One of the
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: things that we want to do right is to I mean,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: I I love this woman. I want to make sure
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: that we cultivate the healthiest relationships. And now we're a
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: place of saying, okay, it's time to take that next step.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: How do we do it well? And I want to
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: hear from you all what you think. I also on
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Colton Cassie, like, they're both religious as well, so I
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: think that might play a factors to why they're not
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: living together. Um. I also think that if I want
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: to marry someone personally like, I would want to live
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: with them first, because that changes the dynamic of everything,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: no matter like friends, family, anything like living together as
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: a whole other animal. So I would just want to
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: It's a picture into what your life will be. And
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: I think that's the best way to do it. It's
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: just like forcing yourself into like, but I'm not, Like,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: I don't come from a background where it's like, you
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: don't live together before marriage, so that's where I'm at.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: It's it's like a foreign thought. Yeah, he's also living
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: in modern times too, so it kind of changes things. Yeah,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: I agree, Um, but I would actually say modern times
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: actually would would almost allow us to live um farther
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: apart because of FaceTime phone all that. Um but Eastern marketing.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Any strong thoughts on this? Well, you know, the other
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: trend is that like Kaylie Kuoko and effort to some
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: others that are married and not living together, and her
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: new partner were married for a while and not living together.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: They planned to eventually, but right now it's not convenient.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: So even though they're married, they're having separate homes. And
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: they said it's really helping a lot. Tanya about a
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: guy in an airplane last week who he and his
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: wife are only together three days a week, and then
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: four days a week he's in a different house and
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: that that just keeps it exciting. That makes us three
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: days really exciting and fun and fresh. Yeah, for me,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: we lived together for a year before we got married.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: It was right at the time I proposed, which was
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: timed well because her parents were not happy about it.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: When I proposed that, then it became okay again. Was
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: it a faith background. It was. Once we proposed, they
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: decided it was okay for us to live together and
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: it worked out. Because it's like you say, it's the convenience,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: it's the money, it's that sort of thing. There's lots
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: of reasons to do it. Yeah. Yeah, well, I mean
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: I don't have a strong faith. I'm a godless man.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: But we we didn't move in together to we and floral.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: You know when I when I I roamed the countryside
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: looking for for someone to beat up. But um, we
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: got engaged though we didn't moving together. Unt we got
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: engaged because my my now wife said, Um, I've done
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: this so too many guys. I've moved in with them
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: and like God in our lives all intertwined and then
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: broken up. I don't want to do that again. I
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: don't have the time to waste on that. Yeah, I
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: feel like I would want to be engaged and then
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: move in instead of just like dating. So that's what
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: we did, and then we got engaged. It was like
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: a year period before we got married, and I was like,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: there's something you don't like about me. You better figured
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: out this. You know. I was talking about this with
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Jessica because we're trying. We are we're talking through these
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: kind of conversations. We started to have them. And we're
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: at dinner of the night in New York, um and
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: we're sitting have a beautiful dinner and we start talking
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: about our future and it was exciting. Conversation was really
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: fun for us. And I brought up this topic because
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: it was brought up to me and one of the
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: guys on the Halman Think podcast said, you know, you
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: shouldn't be doing this for anybody but yourselves one. You
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: need to make this decision as a couple, and I
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: said I would agree with that. They also part is
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: that you know what the families are against it. You
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: don't want to burn those bridges. I love Jessica's family,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: she loves my family. I want to respect what they want.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: I want to walk through this wisely because I don't
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: need to just jump into marry living with somebody for
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: with with with burning every bridge ever had with her family.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't want to do that. I want
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: to respect them. And I said, Jessica, what are your
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: pros and cons to to not living together, because that's
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: what she doesn't want to do it. And she said something.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: I said, oh, and I phrase it with wouldn't it
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: be great if we live together so you would find
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: out things about me that you don't like, so that
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: it wouldn't work? And she says, the difference is once
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: we're married, the things we don't like we're gonna work
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: on blending and compromising on. And I she said, I
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: know you well enough to know that you would want
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: to compromise for me. And I hope you know that
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: I want to compromise for you, and we'll make our
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: lives work. But we'll do that once we're married. So
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: there's there isn't an out, like we're in this thing
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: and I and I and I think if we live
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: together before we even engaged, or even as we're engaged,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: it's too easy to say no, it's too easy to
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: go because living together cannot be easy. I cannot imagine
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: that in any relationship. It's like super a super easy transition.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: So that's my thought. I don't know. It's an interesting
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: topic it's one that we're talking about more and more.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: But Cassie and Colton are not living together in public
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: about it? Um yeah, these thoughts are so fun and
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: so exciting. Please email us if you think you should
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: live together before marriage or not. Um. Right now, I'm
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: on the side of not. We'll see. Hey. Colton gives
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Peter Webber advice for his new season. This new season
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: ended filming this last week. We have no clue what happened.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: We're gonna try to keep it that way. We don't
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: want to ruin anything. I do know. Uh, Peter Webber,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: I cut his face up at some point. That's the Yeah,
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: that was bad. He's still good looking. He's gonna be fine. Um. So,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Colton says this to Peter Webber. He goes my season
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: specifically exemplified that there's an expectation to get engaged. But
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: my only advice is, just like, it's your life. At
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: the end of it, they have another bachelor, they have
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: another bachelorte. So you really need to keep in mind
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: to do what's best for you and what's best for
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: your relationship because it's your real life. I think that's
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: an important piece is Colton says it it's true, it's
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: your real life. People like the cameras go down, the
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: show stops airing, your life doesn't stop at that moment.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: It keeps going and there's still repercussions from that. Sydney,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: any immediate thoughts. I agree with that because I think
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: what sometimes people fall into the show, it's they I
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: feel like they have to follow a certain storyline. And
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: I think he makes a good point, like it doesn't
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: have to always end how the show designed it to end,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: and I think that makes a successful relationships. So that way,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: you're meaning your person where you're supposed to be at
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: versus like forcing you guys into this one little like
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: hole um And it seemed to work out for Colton,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: which is good. But I think it's like pushing boundaries
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: with the show as well, because I think that they're
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: having a lot of different outcomes at the end of
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: this versus just like the typical everyone gets engaged and
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: they're happy at the end of it. So I don't know, Ben,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: we need to lead. Do you feel the pressure from
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: the producers I need to make this interesting, entertaining, exciting.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Do you lose sight of your own life and think
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: of what's best for the show. You know, I think
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: it would be incredibly hard to know there's two hundred
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: people standing around you on those last few days and
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: not finish this thing out. I think it is a
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: lot of pressure. I don't think I recognize it at
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: the time. I think I realized, Um, I realized what
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: was at stake here. I also, you know, the language
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: of how special would this be if this was the
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: end of your loves or the start of your Latin
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: next chapter. How special would it be if your whole
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: love story was documented on television? How special would it
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: be if you could show her in this moment how
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: much you care. That language starts to seep inside and
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: you're like, Yeah, it would be special, it would be great.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: What if I how do I explain it? If I
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: just walk off this thing? Um? But my every year
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: I get to talk to the bachelor, at least I
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: have until I get too old. And I remember with Nick,
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: there was this moment I was really pumped for Nick
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: because I knew this was something he was excited about.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: And I remember my only advice as I was like
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: thinking through what I want to Tom was don't feel
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: the pressure to get engaged. Don't don't carry that weight.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Don't carry that burden because engagement is a real thing.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: And then I've been the follow ups been asked to me,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: you know, do I regret than proposing? I don't. I
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: think it's Carrie. It's added a layer to my life
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: that I not have to explain and and ask for,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: you know, understanding on. But I don't regret it because
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: it was what I thought was right at the time
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: and it just didn't work out. Um, here's my problem
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: with this statement, though, I think I think Colton spot
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: On and I just said it to Nick. I would
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: hate for any bachelor to walk into the season in
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: the back of his mind thinking that not making that
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: commitment was the wrong thing. That like starting to like
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: because it's so easy to doubt yourself already, especially when
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: you're in this world, that it's going to be so
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: easy to say, huh, I'm not into it. I gotta go. Yeah,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: I don't want that either, What Sidney, if you're at
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: the end there, would you be um upset if they
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: didn't like if the guy didn't do it? Yeah, I
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: would be upset, especially if I was like ready and
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: I like knew, because I would the whole process. While
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: you're there, you're so unsure about how they feel about
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: you because they're not really allowed to say anything. So
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: then if I were to get to the end and
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: he still didn't propose, I would be like, well, so
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: do you like me? It's hard I would I would
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: want that validation, especially at the end. Well, we're gonna
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: bring up somebody that has proposed at the end. Um.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: She is the new co host of The Bachelor Live
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: on Stage show with Me starting February one. Becca, Good friends, Welcome, Welcome.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: How's it going, guys? Good? Really good. Becca. We're just
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: getting out of a conversation and before we start talking
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: about this tour and all the great things that you
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: and I are going to do on it. Um, what
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: do you think about Colton's advice to Peter to say
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: don't feel like you need to get engaged into the season.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Good advice, bad advice? Or is it just exactly what
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: somebody needs to hear. I mean, truly, I think that's
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: exactly what somebody needs to hear. I know that. I
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: mean I remember the pressure I felt going in good
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: time around on the bad short being like okay, I
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: don't want to push anything if I'm not ready. And
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: the luckily the production team was great about being like,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: this is your choice, like this is potentially like your life,
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: your partner, and if it feels right, go for it.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: And so I think it's if it feels right, of course,
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: like follow your heart, Peter and and hopefully find the one.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: But I would never want anyone to feel like they
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: had to be forced into something, um, you know, like
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: some other bad schors may have felt. Do you feel
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: forced into being engaged to Garrett? No? Not at all. Um.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: The only time I say then, do I feel forces
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: when he keeps me up a night because he's snoring
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: so loud it's got to push I know. Oh, trust me,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: I've been taking videos like crazy from every night. I'm
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: gonna make it like a whole snoring compilation of him.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Oh that'll be cute for like an anniversary gift. I
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: don't know this, but Becca and Garrett had this thing
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: on social media. Think it was yesterday or the day
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: before that made me laugh so hard. So uh, men
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: know their dog must have torn up the house, like
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: just torn up the shoes and the cow whatever. And
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: then you see this video of Becca like holding minnow
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: and like scratching her belly and Garrett on the couch
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: video tape and her being like, this is a great
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: way to, like, you know, reinforce bad behavior. And I
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: thought it was so funny. I like to say Garrett
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: is the disciplinarian one out of us. I like, I
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: just can't I can't yell at her. I can't get
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: mad at her everything she does, even if she's a
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: little turret. She just is such a cutie pie. So
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: I listed to him and then hope that she just
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: loves me more when I spoil her. That's a good
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: cop back up, Um, how are you going to spoil
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: me when we start this tour? Well, then if you
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: two of my shoes woods, I probably won't give you
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: a belly rub, you know, but I will say if
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: we have a great show, I'll take you out for
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: a beer every night. Oh I can do I can
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: do that. I like that, Sidney. So I don't know
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: if you've you've heard a little bit background here. Um,
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: the Batchel Live on Stage tour is starting February one
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: in Arizona, and the whole concept is this Batchel Nation
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: has been so good um to the show, and so
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: a team came together and said, let's make a live
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: traveling tour. So we're going to I don't know back
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: what is at sixty six cities. We're quite a lot.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: Beck and I are gonna be literally on tour buses,
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: um with professional dancers and production and musicians like everything.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: And then Beck and I will be on this bus
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: as well. Um, Garrett will be traveling. Jessica will be
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: traveling with us. Um men, I was gonna be traveling
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: with us. But here's the concept of the show. Because
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: a lot of people want to ask and and Becca
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Police feel free to to chime in where you want here. Um,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: We're gonna go to each city, sixty six cities, pick
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: a new bachelor in each of these cities. So sixty
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: six different bachelors, ten women at each location, and they're
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: gonna be dating in real life on stage in front
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: of two thousand people. Who how many show up to
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: the auditorium, all down to the very end, will they'll
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: give out a final rose? Wow? How many are you
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: staying in each city? One? It's a two and a
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: half our show, Okay, it's like every night and then
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: sleep on the bus, wake up in a new city.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: It's just we're just gonna banging at sixty six in
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: a row. So are they expected to be engaged at
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: the end? I hope we get one. Um, but po,
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: I could see like two and a half hours of
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: love really, you know, totally like moving into this romantic
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: scenario where your love stories. She could play out in
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: front of two thousand people in two a half hours.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: At the end you're engaged. No that the request is
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: this is at the end? I can't give There's a
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: really cool twist to the show at the very end.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: But he is asking one woman, Hey, would you like
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: to accept my rose? And she gets Then then the
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: twist is that she has the power at that moment
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: to say yes, no or something else um, which is
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: going to really make the show fun I think for
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: everybody involved. Now, the question that we always get asked,
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: why the Bachelor? Right at the Bachelor att we're starting
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: at the Bachelor. We hope to do the Bachelor atte um.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: We hope that we can do a lot of these
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: kind of shows. But for the first go around, please
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: come and watch us at one of these sixty six cities.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: Beckat Coofer and I are going to be hitting the road.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Becca A tour of us. We're taking tour buses. What
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: is your strategy for tour bus life? Oh? Man, you know,
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: I feel like I need to uh talk to some
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: rock stars who have done this, because I like knowing
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: me and I feel like Ben, you're kind of the
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: same way. I need a loan time sometimes, So this
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: will definitely be interesting. We will luckily have our own bathrooms,
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: which will be nice. Um, but it's going to be interesting.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: I think the main thing that's going to be tough
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: for me is the whole packing situation because I am
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: notorious for overpacking and these tour buses aren't huge, so
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna have probably one little small suitcase that I'll
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: have to cram everything into, which at this point I'm
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: gonna know it's doable. I'm sure Garrett will probably have
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: to throw out a lot for me and help me. Um,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: but I think it will be fun. You know, not
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: many people can say that they've lived on a tour
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: bus for part of their life, and so I don't
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: want to go in with and with an open head
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: and hard and to just really soak it all in
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: for all it's worth. And I'm sure we'll have some
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: days where you know, we're neither alone time, and we're
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: gonna be down or stressed or sick or whatever it
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: might be. But I think overall, with Ben and the
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: entire team traveling with us will keep everyone's spirits high
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: and just make it a really good run. I think
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: Hannah when she was bout for it, how to take breaks,
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: like what she called them stare at the wall breaks.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: So she would schedule in like fifteen minutes where she
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: would just literally stare at the wall and like no
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: one would talk to us. Maybe you need some of
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: the healthy my whole thing. And I think I killed
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: then this before I used to because you don't have
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: any alone time. You always have somebody with you. That
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: I used to pretend that I had to go to
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: the bathroom really bad, and I would legit just sit
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: I never going to the bathroom and just sit there
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: for quiet time for like ten fifteen minutes, because you know,
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: you need, you need to need your own time sometimes. Yeah,
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: that's gonna be a great thing. I'm just gonna take
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: a lot of advantage to try to clean up my
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: my coaling. Um. The well, here's the thing. I'm all
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: for equality, but there's one thing that's very obvious. When
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: it comes to minimum, that just is not equal. And
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: that's the fact that Beck, when you talk about packing,
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about literally bringing one suit on the road
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: with me and wearing it at all sixty six locations,
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: probably basketball shorts and a T shirt, and then that's it.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: Like that's all, and you're gonna be stressing out and
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna hang up a suit, same suit. You
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: have the luxem here's the thing. You can accessorize with
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: your ties, pocket squares, and you can get away with it.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: Like girls, we need options. I feel like if I
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: wear the same gown every night, I'll definitely get bored
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: of it, and I think people are going to get
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: bored of it too, So I'm gonna need, you know,
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: hopefully a couple of dresses there. But luckily, I'm not
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: going to give too much away of what we're doing
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: on stage, but we will have some costume changes when
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: will will come in handy with the having the stage
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: manager keep tracks of those bad boys. I hope I
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: turned into a unicorn at some point. I don't think
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: it's a thing, but I just really I feel like
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: that we could make it happen. Um Becca before we
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: let you go here? What is something? So I was
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: announced as the host I don't know months ago, um,
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: and then there has been the plans the whole time
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: we would have a co host and we were working
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: through things and then Becca got chosen and we had
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: to wait a little bit to announce it. I'm ecstatic
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: that Becca is my co host. I don't know if
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: you know. She's terrific. Um. She's funny, she's smart, She's
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: gonna be easy get along with for four months. And
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: I love Garrett. I think Garrett's the best, So I'm
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: pumped to be with him, and Jessica loves him as well.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: Outside of our time together, BECA because I know that's
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: probably number one. What is the thing that you're most
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: excitedful when it comes to this? To her? Oh, cute things.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: So number one is just meeting everyone in all the cities.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: I know we're gonna be offering v I P. We
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: didn't greets after each show. I mean, I've traveled quite
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: a bit, but there's a lot of cities that I've
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: never been to that are on this tour. So I'm
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: just excited to check out the cities to meet the people. Um,
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: and just to get like feel the vibe from the audience.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: Like I really want to like like play off of
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: everyone in the crowd. And I think that's kind of
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: what's going to get us going night by night because
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: we're gonna have a lot of shows in a row
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: ban so it's really going to be up to the
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: audience to you know, help keep us up and spirited
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: and all that fun stuff. Um. I'm also very excited.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: So side note, I'm a huge footie. So during the days,
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: we'll have some downtime to explore the cities, so I
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: want to eat my heart out. I want to hit
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: all of the great local spots. So for anyone listening,
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: if we're coming to your cities, please be at any
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: recommendation because I'm going. I want all of the good
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: donut places. I want to know where we can get
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: a goot cocktail after the show, whatever it might be. Um.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: So that's another thing I look forward to. It's just
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: exploring the cities. That is a great point. I never
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: thought about that, but you literally just made my life.
• 41:05

  Speaker 1: wait to see Speaking of love, Um, we're gonna talk
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: about Blake Sportsmen potentially finding love in one place that
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: he's very famous for finding it. Um, but before do you,
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: let's take a break. Shopping for fine jewelry can be
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: more than a little bit overwhelming. It can be hard
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: to find the gorgeous piece that perfectly compliments your style,
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: and it can be even harder to know whether you're
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: getting the best value for the price, especially considering the
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: fact that most fine jewelry reach tilers mark up prices
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: by five d to one thousand percent. No Emmy believes
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: that luxury jewelry doesn't have to be overpriced. That's why
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: they cut out the middleman to deliver exceptional products without
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: the exorbitant markup. No Emmy designs and manufactures everything in house,
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: and they can only sell directly to consumers. No Emmy
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: is the only fine jewelry company that can offer you
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: incredible quality and sustainability at this price. The use reclaimed
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: eighteen carrot gold a sustainable option with the perfect balance
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: of strength and purity. You have to know a guy
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: to get these prices everywhere else. I hey it, I'm
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: talking to my buddy right now about engagement rings, and
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: it's it's exactly this comment. You have to know a guy.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: Good prices. It's not fair, but you won't if you
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: go to no Emmy risk free experience. No Emmy also
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: offers a lifetime warranty in free shipping and returns on
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: every product, including engravings and custom designs. You don't need
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: to know a guy, just go to know Emmy. You

  Speaker 1: with you. One is on Blake Hortsman announcing that he
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: will be back at Stage Coach this year. He's ready
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: for a redemption story. I'm not sure what that looks like.
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: I don't need. Yeah, it's not good, I'm sure. I
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: don't know how I feel about he just going like
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: be sober the whole time and just like you know,
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: past out. That would be terrific. But how terrible does
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: that sound? I thought the sobriety part as much as
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: like you're just at a place at a festival, people
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: are just like waiting for you to mess up. Basically,
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know. It's not gonna why I would never
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: want to go back there. I'd be like I would
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: have like trauma so there's two paths. I'm saying. He
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: walks in and everybody like has Blake Hortsman signs like yeah,
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: or he walks in and everybody's going to make the
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: blake yeah. Like what happens to this this whole thing? Um,
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be It's gonna be a lot. Um. If
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: I were him, I would never want to be near
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: a music vessel ever again. But for whatever reason, he
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: thinks he's this is the same thing he didn't PARENTI
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: see he's gonna He thought he was going to redeem
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: himself the every day he got there. So now he's
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: going back to the place where it all began and
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: thinks he's going to redeem himself. I mean, I don't
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: know how you do that. I really don't know. I
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: wonder if Stage was just paying him. It's yeah, it's
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: got to be one of those things, right, it has
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: to be. I can confirm that they are. I've never
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: been to stage coach. I like. I like country music,
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: I like festivals. If somebody offered me money to come
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: to their festival, I would say yes, because Hi, I'm
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: buying the tickets. I just think this is a really
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: dangerous scenario and it's gonna you know, what's going to happen,
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: and truth be told, he's gonna get there and nothing
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: while it's gonna happen, Nothing weird's gonna happen. He's gonna
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: be on his best behavior, and if he's not, it's
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: going to backfire so bad. But he's gonna be on
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: his best behavior. It's all going to go fine. But
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: nobody's gonna talk about that either because it's not a story. Oh,
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: Blake went to stage Coach and he hopefully we'll stay
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: of it. We'll see if he's not this for the ages,
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: get back to Paradise. If he's not, I hope there's
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: Blake Corts been like signs at stage Coach one day,
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: like come see Blake, Yeah, this is this is where,
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: this is the stage at this season of Paradise. Had
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: Stage Coach mentioned so many times, just like this podcast,
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: Um that do you think the festival was ecstatic about this?
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: It's like the best thing that's ever happened to them.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: I'm sure right. Free advertising. It was over and over
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: and over. I will never forget it, Like everyone was
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: talking about it and now they're like using it to
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: promote it more. When you were down there. Did it
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: feel like everybody's talking about it too. I think they
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: had to request to use the term stage host because
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: it was being brought up in interview so much. So. Yeah,
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: there is an episode I forget which one. It blurs
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: together at some point, but like two or three different
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: women came back to back to back, all at that
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: point admitting that stage Coach had They had an interaction
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: with Blake at stage Coach and it was like, is
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: humorous the right word or just like nail biting cringe worthy?
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: Like there were so many emotions to that because it
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: was like I met Blake a stage coach, I met
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: Blake at stage chich and then I think somebody else
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: came on and was like I met Blake at stage coach,
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: but nothing happened, like they had to like preface it. Yeah. Yeah,
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: it's almost like the potations like sending the next one,
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: sending the next stage person, like they just like line
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: them all up and it was beautifully done. But um,
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: it led to Blake's ultimatumize It definitely did. If you
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: want to see the expert of stage coach, Blake Courtsman,
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: He's gonna be there this year. Okay, final topic. This
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: one's an interesting one. I want to get clarity on
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: it from Tasia at some point, but until then, let's
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: just weigh in what we think. JPJ and Tasia, as
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: we announced a few weeks ago, have officially broken up.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: Um they did just now speak up about their breakup.
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: Tasia said his nine to job was hard on their relationship.
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: So I think taking that comment out of context is
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: really bad. But that that is the That is the
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: last that was That was the line that was the
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: title of the article. Now I get it. It's if
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: that's not true, Okay, tell me why. Because her I
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: knowing her and talking to her, she liked his nine
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: to five job Like that was something that intrigued her
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: about him, that he was like essentially normal and not
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: trying to like go into this whole influencer life. I mean,
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: he was doing it on the side, but it wasn't
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: like his whole like job. She I think that was
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: what attracted her to him the most, was that he
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: was like smart and driven and had that like real
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: job that he had. Well, in this world, it isn't
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: common to find somebody with that real job. It is hard.
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, I would say for myselfie like even um,
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: the balance of a five on top of so I
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: you know, now full time I do generous But back
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: in the day when The Bachelor was going on, and
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: the Bachelor, I kept my job do the whole thing
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: for a software company, so I was clocked and clocked
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: out and it was really difficult to do all those above.
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: Friday evening I would fly to wherever I have to
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: be to do press or event or whatever. And it
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: was fun and that was exciting and was cool, and
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: then right back on Monday to my desk and it's exhausting,
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: and it's weird and it feels like two separate lives,
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: but it's healthy, it is. I think that she also,
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: because he was so much younger, because he had that
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: like real, like fine ance job, she would like it
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: almost made it more okay for her that she was
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: dating him, you know what I mean. So then when
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: he left that she was like, oh, that's not what
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: we agreed on, like when they left. Yeah. So so
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: I think taking that that that comment out of context
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: probably cause a little injustice here. Um, But if if
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: that was if that comment was made okay, if it
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: would just not sit right with you, right I mean
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: nine to five job in this world would be super respectful. Yeah,
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: because then you have like from five on to like
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: do whatever you need to do. That's a lot of time.
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: Take some content exactly your thing. Yeah. Also they were
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: living on two different coasts they were she was in
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: l A and he was in Maryland. That tough. That
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: didn't help either, And I'm sure getting to Maryland is
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: not easy. Now. Um, well, hey, I uh before we
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: close up the podcast, I got to give a shout out.
