Speaker 1: How are you? I am fantastic. My allergies are terrible.

Speaker 1: So if I sound incredibly stuffed up, or if you

0:22
Speaker 1: forgiveness today. Okay, You're forgiven in advance. It's a it's

0:45
Speaker 1: do in the middle of the night. Um, you know
0:49
Speaker 1: what I do? I I really I wake up about
0:51
Speaker 1: three times and I use the restroom. I don't know
0:53

1:00
Speaker 1: I haven't a while. Um, but the cat drinking before bed?
1:05
Speaker 1: I drink so much water. And that's the problem. Is
1:07
Speaker 1: I like start drinking water like six o'clock at night,
1:10
Speaker 1: and I don't stop till I go to bed, and
1:11
Speaker 1: I need to stop. I just get really thirsty always
1:16
Speaker 1: at night. You always just go for your leader at night.
1:19
Speaker 1: I know I need to start. So Jared has this
1:22
Speaker 1: weird thing that he does in the middle of the night.
1:24
Speaker 1: He I posted it to my Instagram a couple of times.
1:27
Speaker 1: But he like lifts his arms and he tickles them.
1:32
Speaker 1: Did you see that? Yeah, it's so weird. Like he'll
1:35
Speaker 1: go one and then he just gently strokes one for
1:38
Speaker 1: like thirty seconds, and then he goes over and does
1:41
Speaker 1: the other one and he's a sleep I'm telling you, guys,
1:45
Speaker 1: it's not How often does this happen? Pretty much every
1:48
Speaker 1: night at least every other Yeah, that's that's wild. I
1:55
Speaker 1: think it's creepy. It is. It is creepy. It makes
1:58
Speaker 1: you feel kind of weird. And then there's this other
2:00
Speaker 1: thing that he does a lot less often. It's bizarre.
2:04
Speaker 1: He like bounces his head up and down. It's almost
2:07
Speaker 1: seizure like, and it'll just be like he bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce,
2:11
Speaker 1: bounce for like fifty seconds. And sometimes if it's getting
2:16
Speaker 1: too long and I get kind of freaked out. I'll
2:18
Speaker 1: touch him and then he says that he's in like
2:20
Speaker 1: a semi awake state when that happens, and he feels
2:24
Speaker 1: relaxed and comforted by that motion. And I looked it, Yeah,
2:29
Speaker 1: bouncing just his head and I'm like, in a very
2:33
Speaker 1: repetitive manner, and um, I just I looked it up
2:37
Speaker 1: and it's like called it's a thing, and it's not
2:40
Speaker 1: harmful at all, and most people do describe it as comforting.
2:45
Speaker 1: It's a really bizarre so it's not weird, it's not rare.
2:49
Speaker 1: You know, what's going on? What about you? What do
2:51
Speaker 1: you have that's uh, that's interesting. In the middle of night,
2:54
Speaker 1: I have nothing. I have this sleep wrinkle that is
2:57
Speaker 1: forming on my cheek from pressing my cheek so hard
3:00
Speaker 1: against the pillow, so like I find myself waking up
3:03
Speaker 1: all the time being like slapping myself and being like
3:06
Speaker 1: stop sleeping on that side. It's squshing it's so hard
3:09
Speaker 1: into the pillow until you guys, it's becoming permanent. Doesn't
3:12
Speaker 1: go away in the morning. So I'm working on it.
3:14
Speaker 1: It's very embarrassing and it's also the ultimate first world problem. Yeah, well, hey, right,
3:21
Speaker 1: us at bit and Ashley, I heart media dot com
3:23
Speaker 1: or hashtag to almost in this podcast, what do you
3:25
Speaker 1: do that's weird in your sleep or even what your
3:29
Speaker 1: partner does in their sleep? Ashley, I think I've said
3:33
Speaker 1: it every single week, um, but I'm gonna say it
3:37
Speaker 1: again because not a lie. Bachelor Nation continues somehow, some
3:41
Speaker 1: way to produce news in the midst of a shutdown,
3:44
Speaker 1: and this week is not an anomaly. We have a
3:48
Speaker 1: ridiculous amount of news to share. Uh, let's just jump
3:52
Speaker 1: in right away with a few of the smaller stories
3:55
Speaker 1: leading up kind of ramping it up to the end
3:57
Speaker 1: where we're obviously going to talk about Hannah Brown and
4:00
Speaker 1: the news that came out about Hannah this last week.
4:04
Speaker 1: First stories are Lindy Junior's new platinum blonde hair divides
4:08
Speaker 1: Bachelor Nation. Dude, it looks so good. I think it
4:12
Speaker 1: looks good. I think it looks amazing that haircut. I mean,
4:15
Speaker 1: first off, it's the haircut that Lauren gave him and
4:17
Speaker 1: the scruff that's making him look like a whole new man.
4:20
Speaker 1: And I feel like, I'm sorry, Ari, if you look
4:23
Speaker 1: like this going into your season. I feel like the
4:25
Speaker 1: girls would have been even more into him. He looks
4:29
Speaker 1: so much more youthful. I feel like it cut off
4:31
Speaker 1: like five years of his age. And then the blonde,
4:34
Speaker 1: Like I can take or leave the blonde of the
4:36
Speaker 1: salt and pepper is very sexy, but the blonde makes
4:39
Speaker 1: him again. Maybe it looks like he's trying too hard
4:42
Speaker 1: to some people, that he's trying to look too young,
4:44
Speaker 1: and I can see why people are divided on that.
4:46
Speaker 1: But I think the haircut, the scruff makes him look amazing,
4:49
Speaker 1: and I can take or leave the blonde. And isn't
4:52
Speaker 1: about you as a guy, Well, isn't this the time
4:55
Speaker 1: to be mixing things up a bit? Like I had
4:56
Speaker 1: a mustache. I had to shave it last week for
5:01
Speaker 1: some other reason. I have a big thing coming up
5:03
Speaker 1: that's gonna last me about a year, and I had
5:05
Speaker 1: to shoot some stuff for it. I was like, I
5:07
Speaker 1: can't have a mustache for you in the next year
5:09
Speaker 1: of my life getting every single commercial. Um, But now
5:13
Speaker 1: is the time to mix up to look for anybody, guy,
5:15
Speaker 1: girl whoever, like you should be trying the things you've
5:18
Speaker 1: always wanted to try. But do you think you do?
5:22
Speaker 1: You have more of a man crush on ari Oh yeah,
5:25
Speaker 1: I think it's good. I think it's really good. I
5:27
Speaker 1: think it's I respect it. It's not a bad thing. Um,
5:30
Speaker 1: you call kind of cool with blonde hair too right now?
5:34
Speaker 1: I don't know. I got that. I got like a
5:35
Speaker 1: receding like hairline thing going on, and I feel like
5:38
Speaker 1: he doesn't, and I feel like it would look weird
5:40
Speaker 1: if I did it. Okay, Well, if you are worried
5:44
Speaker 1: about receding, I wouldn't bleach your hair blonde. It's not
5:47
Speaker 1: good for it. No, it's you'll feel the burn. I
5:52
Speaker 1: need to. I need to keep as much hair on
5:54
Speaker 1: my head as possible for as long as. Would you
5:56
Speaker 1: get plugs? Oh, if it got really bad one day? Yeah,
6:00
Speaker 1: I mean I'm not that bad like I can. If
6:02
Speaker 1: you just met me, I don't think you would even notice.
6:04
Speaker 1: But if it got really bad, I'd do the Ashton
6:07
Speaker 1: kutcher and get plugs. Do you think Ashton has gotten it?
6:09
Speaker 1: I feel like every guy in Hollywood. I think every
6:11
Speaker 1: guy's got it. I think it's more I think it's
6:13
Speaker 1: more common than I think. I actually, uh not to
6:16
Speaker 1: get off complete tangent, but I was getting a haircut
6:19
Speaker 1: once during my season of the Bachelor, and the guy
6:21
Speaker 1: is a super big hairstylus in l A and he's like, hey,
6:24
Speaker 1: you've got a nice thick head of hair here. I
6:25
Speaker 1: was like, I'm worried I'm gonna lose on my hairs,
6:27
Speaker 1: Like it doesn't matter if you do. It's like, what
6:28
Speaker 1: do you mean? And he said, every single actor like
6:32
Speaker 1: has gotten plugs. If you just google actor hair plugs,
6:35
Speaker 1: you're gonna see a list of names of people you
6:37
Speaker 1: never would have expected to have gotten plugs, like Ben
6:41
Speaker 1: Affleck apparently has gotten it. And I would have never
6:44
Speaker 1: thought that because I never even thought Ben had a
6:46
Speaker 1: moment of receding. Matthew McConaughey, Oh yeah, totally. Uh, Tony
6:53
Speaker 1: tom Brady got it. And that's the one reason that
6:55
Speaker 1: Jared is completely down when that time comes. Yeah, I
6:59
Speaker 1: don't know, it's it's something. It would be like the
7:00
Speaker 1: one big thing. But I'm not against a nice shaved
7:03
Speaker 1: head either. Who knows, Ashley. As I get older, I
7:06
Speaker 1: care more and I care less. Um wells Adams is
7:10
Speaker 1: happy not to be doing Bachelor in Paradise this summer. Yeah,
7:14
Speaker 1: really interesting. So he's just happy getting the time with Sarah.
7:19
Speaker 1: And he said that if he were to be doing
7:22
Speaker 1: Bachelor in Paradise, it would be going back to back
7:24
Speaker 1: with another project that he's filming, and he just didn't
7:27
Speaker 1: want to like have all lot away time. That's fair enough.
7:30
Speaker 1: I mean, I I know Wells has been great for
7:32
Speaker 1: that show. I know he's good at what he does.
7:35
Speaker 1: I hope that Wells can always find a place on
7:37
Speaker 1: our television somehow, some way. But at the same time,
7:41
Speaker 1: he's big things coming up. And do you really want
7:43
Speaker 1: to go on a beach and serve drinks for a
7:45
Speaker 1: whole month while your fiance, you know, is planning a wedding.
7:49
Speaker 1: I get it. Fair enough? Um, just a little shout

8:12
Speaker 1: I know. That's really really rough. Uh, hey, we're gonna
8:18
Speaker 1: go down here to this story. Caitlin Bristow, Holy Cow.
8:22
Speaker 1: Caitlin Bristow makes her country music debut with a new song,
8:27
Speaker 1: if I'm being honest, Ashley, Wow, Okay Wow. So this
8:34
Speaker 1: song was written believe when she was still with Um
8:41
Speaker 1: Sean Sean and Um, she didn't release it then, and
8:48
Speaker 1: you can listen to the lyrics and you can hear
8:50
Speaker 1: that it was probably during a time that she was
8:53
Speaker 1: like feeling a little bit more like doubt about herself,
8:56
Speaker 1: a little bit more insecure, and she decided until now
9:01
Speaker 1: to release it. And damn you guys, like she went
9:04
Speaker 1: to number one, like she was up there, and I
9:08
Speaker 1: the artist that she was up there with it just unbelievable. Um,
9:11
Speaker 1: it wasn't even just number one on the country charts.
9:13
Speaker 1: It was number one on the iTunes charts. It's still
9:15
Speaker 1: there right now. And we pulled this up and pull
9:17
Speaker 1: my iTunes. The song is so good. She sounds amazing.
9:20
Speaker 1: The song is so Caitlin Um and I knew that
9:25
Speaker 1: this was up Poulee for a while, but I wasn't
9:27
Speaker 1: sure she was ever going to pull a trigger on
9:29
Speaker 1: it because when I was in the car with her
9:33
Speaker 1: and she mentioned that she wanted to release an EP,
9:37
Speaker 1: it was one she was with Sean, and it was
9:41
Speaker 1: we were going to Carly and Evans wedding, So that
9:43
Speaker 1: was three years ago. So yeah, she's been sitting on
9:48
Speaker 1: it for a while, but damn does she had the voice,
9:50
Speaker 1: she and the songwriting skills. She put herself out there.
9:53
Speaker 1: She I really love this song. Um. I actually was
9:57
Speaker 1: singing it in the car and just go looked at
10:00
Speaker 1: me and it was like, if you're singing this song consistently,
10:04
Speaker 1: it means it's really good. And then I looked that
10:06
Speaker 1: was like first thing in the morning, and then by
10:08
Speaker 1: noon I think it had reached number one. Great for Caitlin.
10:13
Speaker 1: We've talked about it, right, you and I both and
10:15
Speaker 1: I like envisa thing in this world. And so when
10:19
Speaker 1: you see somebody doing stuff like Caitlin's doing, and like
10:22
Speaker 1: your first reaction is to celebrate it. One, it means
10:25
Speaker 1: that Caitlin is just awesome. Second, it's like, hey, we
10:28
Speaker 1: need to start celebrating each other more. And I am
10:30
Speaker 1: celebrating Caitlin Bristow because she just killed it so good.
10:34
Speaker 1: She was so brit It's honestly so brave because for
10:37
Speaker 1: a reality star two to just like really just go
10:42
Speaker 1: in a totally different avenue is nerve racking. And there's
10:47
Speaker 1: so many times where like people like Paris Hilton, who
10:50
Speaker 1: was actually pretty successful with it, but Kim Kardashian once
10:54
Speaker 1: was going to release a single, or she did release
10:56
Speaker 1: a single, and people like ridiculed it. Right, it never
10:59
Speaker 1: goes anywhere, oh, Hidie montagug from the Hills. It's just
11:04
Speaker 1: it can go south quickly, and if you're lucky, nobody
11:09
Speaker 1: remembers it. But Caitlin I think she's I think her
11:11
Speaker 1: next step in life is country star. Uh, country star,
11:15
Speaker 1: comedian dancer Podcast extraordinaire Ashley I, Ken Eddie and Caitlin Bristow.
11:24
Speaker 1: That's very sweet. I definitely need I definitely gave me
11:28
Speaker 1: speaking of like envy and jealousy, it gave me a
11:32
Speaker 1: mental plush to be like, Okay, it's time for you
11:35
Speaker 1: to really like branch out and do the kind of
11:37
Speaker 1: stuff that you want to do. To like that that's
11:39
Speaker 1: outside the Bachelor franchise for you, Ashy. Congratulations Caitlin, we
11:43
Speaker 1: love her. You're awesome. Uh. You have a lot of
11:46
Speaker 1: success and just really cool memories along the way. Hey,
11:49
Speaker 1: ash I think we need to take a break here.
11:51
Speaker 1: When we come back, we are going to talk about
11:54
Speaker 1: one of the biggest stories to come out of Bachelor
11:56
Speaker 1: Nation and also one that we need to spend as
11:59
Speaker 1: much time on as possible and just kind of sit in,
12:02
Speaker 1: listen to uh and hear from what bachel Nation is
12:05
Speaker 1: saying about it. It's the Hannah Brown story that came
12:08
Speaker 1: out last night. Ashley's take a break. When we come back,
12:10
Speaker 1: we'll talk about Hannah Brown. Bachelor Nation stars react to
12:25
Speaker 1: Hannah Brown saying the N word Disaccording to e Online, Yeah,
12:31
Speaker 1: so the video is out there. Hannah Brown took to
12:35
Speaker 1: Instagram Alive this weekend and she was singing the Baby's
12:41
Speaker 1: song rock Star, in which the N word is used,
12:44
Speaker 1: and um, she said it, which was horrible, And it
12:52
Speaker 1: was also very interesting considering she kind of edited herself
12:58
Speaker 1: when she when the F word came up in the song,
13:00
Speaker 1: but she didn't edit herself when this word came up
13:03
Speaker 1: in the song. And then when fans start responding in
13:07
Speaker 1: the comments, she like put it on her brother, suggesting
13:12
Speaker 1: that he was the one who said it. This is
13:15
Speaker 1: a direct quote from the Instagram Live. She said, I
13:17
Speaker 1: really don't think that I said that word. I don't
13:21
Speaker 1: think that I said that word. But now I'm like,
13:23
Speaker 1: oh god, I never used that word. I never called
13:26
Speaker 1: anybody that we don't say that word. So you know what,
13:30
Speaker 1: I'm going to stay here and you all can think
13:33
Speaker 1: I said whatever I did or think I'm something I'm not,
13:37
Speaker 1: but I'm not that. So that was. Yeah, it's it's
13:42
Speaker 1: very very bizarre. And why throw your brother under the bus, Like,
13:47
Speaker 1: how is that any better? I don't This is so crazy.
13:52
Speaker 1: This is a very crazy situation in my opinion. And
13:55
Speaker 1: I mean, we've been you don't say the word, you
13:59
Speaker 1: don't say it. And I feel like there's somebody who
14:03
Speaker 1: can talk about this even more eloquently than we can,
14:07
Speaker 1: and that would be Rachel Lindsay, who took to her
14:09
Speaker 1: Instagram Live to talk about this specifically yesterday, and I
14:13
Speaker 1: think she put it so well. And we're not going
14:16
Speaker 1: to air the entire six minutes of Rachel's Instagram Live.
14:21
Speaker 1: It is out there on the internet. If you'd like
14:22
Speaker 1: to watch it, I encourage you to watch it. And uh,
14:25
Speaker 1: right now, we're going to roll a couple of clips.
14:27
Speaker 1: It's easy to make a statement, it's easy to hide
14:32
Speaker 1: behind words. But when you're bold enough to say the
14:36
Speaker 1: in word on camera on your platform, then you need
14:40
Speaker 1: to be bold enough two use your face and you're
14:46
Speaker 1: on camera and apologize in the same way that you
14:49
Speaker 1: said the word like, I'm not discrediting the apology. I'm
14:52
Speaker 1: just saying that we can't give people a pass for this.
14:55
Speaker 1: We have to hold people accountable for what they're doing.
14:58
Speaker 1: Non black people should not feel okay saying that word.
15:03
Speaker 1: My whole purpose in doing this is want to educate
15:05
Speaker 1: people on the word, but at the same time to
15:08
Speaker 1: for to encourage you guys to hold people accountable. If
15:12
Speaker 1: you feel wronged, if you feel someone offended you, you
15:16
Speaker 1: don't give them a pass. You hold them accountable for
15:18
Speaker 1: what it is that they did. I just want to
15:20
Speaker 1: encourage everybody to be better, to do better, and with that,
15:26
Speaker 1: good night. In addition to Rachel Lindsay, Becca Martinez also
15:29
Speaker 1: has spoke out on the issue. Becca's exact quote is
15:33
Speaker 1: it's a word that holds so much historical weight that
15:36
Speaker 1: the black community is still healing from in parts of
15:39
Speaker 1: the white community are still weaponizing for dehumanization, particularly in
15:44
Speaker 1: the South, that according to Becca Martinez, they are seeing.
15:48
Speaker 1: Part of Rachel Lindsay's clip, though, is that Rachel alludes
15:54
Speaker 1: to the fact that she's reached out to Hannah and
15:57
Speaker 1: kind of offered Hannah some advice and guidance on an
16:01
Speaker 1: education and it's and and alludes that Hannah has not
16:04
Speaker 1: accepted really any of it. At least that's how I
16:07
Speaker 1: took Rachel's video. The only thing we've seen from Hannah
16:11
Speaker 1: is an apology, uh, and the sorts of a video
16:16
Speaker 1: that you just kind of quoted earlier, and then also
16:19
Speaker 1: the written apology. Yeah, and into the story slide she
16:23
Speaker 1: posted yesterday, says I owe you all a major apology.
16:26
Speaker 1: There's no excuse, and I will not justify what I
16:29
Speaker 1: said this. According to Brown, I have read your messages
16:32
Speaker 1: and seeing that hurt I have caused. I own it all.
16:34
Speaker 1: I'm terribly sorry and know that whether in public or private,
16:38
Speaker 1: this language is unacceptable. I promised to be better. So
16:44
Speaker 1: Rachel um had something to say about that, and she goes,
16:50
Speaker 1: if you are bold enough to use that word, you
16:52
Speaker 1: better be bold enough to put your face on the
16:57
Speaker 1: internet with your apology. And uh. When I heard her,
17:02
Speaker 1: you know, Rachel say that, I nodded very heavily when
17:05
Speaker 1: I was like yeah. So it'll be interesting whether Hannah
17:10
Speaker 1: comes out and says something else, whether she tries to
17:13
Speaker 1: let it fade away. But it's bad, guys. Really, Actually,
17:19
Speaker 1: what's the lesson learned here? What? What can we all
17:21
Speaker 1: take away? I mean, there's obvious, very obvious things in
17:24
Speaker 1: front of us that are wrong here. Nobody's you know,
17:26
Speaker 1: every that's very clear. But what are some other things
17:28
Speaker 1: that that you're learning from this situation? I mean, people
17:32
Speaker 1: will say that this should be an educational moment, but
17:36
Speaker 1: to me, I just feel like people know this from
17:41
Speaker 1: like a very young age, right, yeah, this Hannah, Hannah
17:46
Speaker 1: knows better. Yeah, like I don't. I shouldn't speak for
17:50
Speaker 1: anybody else, but I think it's it's very naive to
17:53
Speaker 1: think that she doesn't know that that's not a word
17:56
Speaker 1: to use. That that's a word she shouldn't be using,
17:59
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Mhm, No, I would agree, Well,
18:03
Speaker 1: I would agree, I mean I think yeah, I would
18:06
Speaker 1: agree since a young age. Actually, my one of my
18:10
Speaker 1: best uh friends parents kind of give me some advice
18:13
Speaker 1: and they said, um, thank for you for you speak.
18:17
Speaker 1: We've all heard that before, right, thank you for It's like,
18:20
Speaker 1: you know what back as you're a kid, Like that's
18:23
Speaker 1: terrible advice. Like it's so simple, it's like it doesn't
18:25
Speaker 1: have any complexities to it. As you get older, I
18:27
Speaker 1: think it becomes more and more important to have wisdom
18:30
Speaker 1: to think before you speak. Um. But this story is ongoing,
18:34
Speaker 1: it's fresh, it's new. We will see how it plays out.
18:37
Speaker 1: We will continue to update you as it goes. Hey, actually,
18:41
Speaker 1: let's take a break here. When we come back, we're
18:44
Speaker 1: gonna break down this week's episode of Listening to Your Heart.
18:57
Speaker 1: It's finally time. It's the finale it flew by of
19:01
Speaker 1: the premier season of Listening to Your Heart. Uh, it's
19:04
Speaker 1: gonna be a great episode to break down. But in
19:06
Speaker 1: addition to that, we do have the winners, Chris and
19:10
Speaker 1: Brie on the podcast. At the end of the breakdown, Ashley,
19:15
Speaker 1: you're always fantastic at these What do you think of
19:19
Speaker 1: the final episode of Listening to Your Heart? Then? I
19:22
Speaker 1: think it was the weakest episode of it. Did you
19:29
Speaker 1: I think it felt I think I think this. I
19:32
Speaker 1: think it felt like they didn't know how to close
19:34
Speaker 1: the season. Well, it's kind of like Winter Games, you know.
19:36
Speaker 1: It's just like we're gonna have all the couples do
19:38
Speaker 1: like their performances, and you're gonna smile and cheer and
19:41
Speaker 1: then like we're going to say why what it's like, okay, yeah,
19:48
Speaker 1: you know. The the interesting part compared to Winter Games
19:51
Speaker 1: is that the gift that Chris and Brewer receiving is
19:54
Speaker 1: actually a huge deal. So I wish they would have
19:58
Speaker 1: played that up a little bit more like I wish
19:59
Speaker 1: we would felt that, and maybe we will once their
20:01
Speaker 1: album comes out. But there was weeks that this show hit,
20:06
Speaker 1: and there was weeks that I left being like, I'm
20:08
Speaker 1: not mad I watched it, but would I have tuned in?
20:11
Speaker 1: I don't fully know. And the reaction from Bachelor Nation,
20:14
Speaker 1: I think has been mixed as well. If you just
20:17
Speaker 1: um kind of read the reviews. Some people love it
20:19
Speaker 1: and some people could definitely go without it. This was
20:22
Speaker 1: the only episode that I found myself scrolling on my phone. Um.
20:26
Speaker 1: I think it's because when Matt and Rudy left early
20:29
Speaker 1: on in the episode, it was just like our drama
20:32
Speaker 1: was gone, Like are kind of like the raw realness
20:36
Speaker 1: that Rudy brings was gone. I also am obsessed with
20:40
Speaker 1: Rudy's voice, like I feel like our female powerhouse was gone. It.
20:45
Speaker 1: Um yeah, I just kind of went downhill from there,
20:48
Speaker 1: and I knew that when they were going home, I'm like, well,
20:50
Speaker 1: I get why they're going home now. I mean, that's
20:54
Speaker 1: just how like, that's the Bachelor formula. It's like, even
20:58
Speaker 1: though the audience probably wants a little bit more of
21:01
Speaker 1: this couple because they're not there yet. You know, I
21:05
Speaker 1: had doing air quotes, they have to go home, so
21:09
Speaker 1: they went home. I think that they're gonna stay in touch,
21:12
Speaker 1: especially the way that we talked to Matt last week.
21:15
Speaker 1: He just seemed as if there was like still something
21:19
Speaker 1: between them. They both live in l A. I hope
21:22
Speaker 1: they're able to like it kind of feels like me
21:24
Speaker 1: and Jared, to be honest, it kind of felt like, Okay,
21:28
Speaker 1: there's something here, but like it's not going to happen
21:31
Speaker 1: as fast as the show forces it to happen, so
21:35
Speaker 1: like we'll revisit it, but like I care, I care
21:38
Speaker 1: about you so much. It's very much how I feel
21:43
Speaker 1: Jared split up with me. That's the way you're going
21:46
Speaker 1: to use the term at the end of Bachelor Paradise too.
21:50
Speaker 1: So I have hope from Matt and Rudy, But I
21:52
Speaker 1: knew when they were gone. I was like, Oh, this
21:54
Speaker 1: is gonna be a snooze fast. What did you want
21:57
Speaker 1: out of especially this last episode? Um, I wanted, like
22:02
Speaker 1: performances that really made me feel and be like WHOA,
22:07
Speaker 1: and I didn't really get that. I feel, as Kristen Burrie,
22:11
Speaker 1: they did a very good job, like they're very talented people,
22:15
Speaker 1: and if I were to see that in person, I'd
22:17
Speaker 1: be like who But like through the TV, the passion
22:22
Speaker 1: and the power didn't really translate, And especially with Jamie
22:26
Speaker 1: and Trevor, I just felt like those are like the
22:27
Speaker 1: most lackluster performances. I felt like that was karaoke, Like
22:32
Speaker 1: there's like a really good couple doing karaoke. I would
22:36
Speaker 1: have been impressed if I was at a karaoke bar
22:38
Speaker 1: and saw that. M Yeah. So it just didn't live
22:41
Speaker 1: up to the expectations, both musically and I mean romantically.
22:45
Speaker 1: We have Christ and Breed to celebrate who we will
22:48
Speaker 1: have on later. But it felt like, and I almost
22:50
Speaker 1: convinced myself actually that it wasn't gonna happen just because
22:53
Speaker 1: it was so obvious. Yeah, I mean too, there was
22:55
Speaker 1: a point, but but we like we one almost could
22:58
Speaker 1: have said, oh, yeah, this couple is going to be
23:00
Speaker 1: the one to win, like they're far and beyond anything else,
23:03
Speaker 1: and then they won. Yeah, so I thought we were
23:05
Speaker 1: maybe gonna get a twist there for a second, because
23:08
Speaker 1: I was even thinking about how at the very beginning
23:10
Speaker 1: of the season they made Jamie and Trevor storyline so prominent.
23:15
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, maybe they're gonna like twist it
23:17
Speaker 1: up and it's gonna be a full circle moment. But
23:19
Speaker 1: then you saw their performances and you're just like, they
23:21
Speaker 1: can't do that. No, it's tough. It was. It was tough. Hey,
23:26
Speaker 1: let's let's run through this really quick. As you mentioned,
23:29
Speaker 1: Matt and Rudy, Uh leave the episode pretty much right
23:32
Speaker 1: at the beginning, which leaves Jamie and Trevor and Brie
23:34
Speaker 1: and Chris left together. Brie and Chris chose not to
23:38
Speaker 1: go into the fantasy suits, but Jamie and Trevor do go. Okay,
23:42
Speaker 1: I thought that was I understand that Chris and Brie
23:46
Speaker 1: probably have like these, um was it called, preconceived notions
23:50
Speaker 1: of the Fantasy Suite, and they're probably like, oh, Fantasy
23:53
Speaker 1: Suite equal sex and Bachelor Nation, But they haven't really
23:56
Speaker 1: gone through the Bachelor ringer so much to know that
24:00
Speaker 1: a lot of the times there's no sex and that
24:02
Speaker 1: there's just a lot of talking. And I really thought
24:04
Speaker 1: that they would have enjoyed having that intimate away from
24:07
Speaker 1: camera time, but it didn't take it up on it.
24:10
Speaker 1: It was very interesting and actually this is very funny.
24:13
Speaker 1: Look what I have right here. I know that our
24:15
Speaker 1: audience listening won't find this funny because they can't see me,
24:18
Speaker 1: but I'm hearing my mom's a little sitting area and
24:21
Speaker 1: there's a key, like a freaking key, like an old
24:24
Speaker 1: school key. Can you believe that that is still in
24:27
Speaker 1: the envelopes, the fantasies envelopes? It's like, he's that's the
24:31
Speaker 1: real key from your fantasy No, I don't. Oh god,
24:35
Speaker 1: I don't even know if. I don't think I have
24:38
Speaker 1: one of those? But is it how weird is it
24:41
Speaker 1: that they still put this? Wouldn't it be funny if
24:43
Speaker 1: they put like an electronic room key, Yeah, just like
24:46
Speaker 1: a card. It's like use your fingerprint to get in
24:49
Speaker 1: the get in the hotel. Um. Yeah, So Brien and
24:52
Speaker 1: Chris don't go. That is always surprising to me because
24:55
Speaker 1: fantasy suits are like the first time you can take
24:57
Speaker 1: a deep breath. But we'll talk to them about that
25:00
Speaker 1: a little bit and see if we can get the
25:01
Speaker 1: insight into what that where That decision came from Jamie
25:04
Speaker 1: and Trevor do decide to go. Jimmie mentions during the
25:06
Speaker 1: episode that she is falling more in love with Trevor
25:10
Speaker 1: every day, more in love with Trevor every day. I
25:14
Speaker 1: feel that she loves him. I feel like he likes
25:17
Speaker 1: her even though he says love, and I feel like
25:20
Speaker 1: everything between them is super innocent and puppy love. M hmm.
25:24
Speaker 1: It just but it does feel good, it does it.
25:28
Speaker 1: It's not bad to watch. No, it's very sweet, very smiley,
25:34
Speaker 1: very youthful. Yeah, it is, which who knows where that
25:39
Speaker 1: can go? Can be great. It's just gonna take a
25:42
Speaker 1: bit right like, it's not something you rush into when
25:44
Speaker 1: it's there. Well, uh, we'll fast forward to the performances
25:49
Speaker 1: of the Evening, which is always, you know, one of
25:51
Speaker 1: my favorite parts, if not my favorite part of every episode.
25:54
Speaker 1: Trevor and Jamie received song number one, which is Unchained
25:58
Speaker 1: Melody by the Righteous Brothers. That's the thing. Amazing song,
26:04
Speaker 1: timeless song, a song that you expect a Christina Aguilera
26:10
Speaker 1: Whitney Houston type of performance too, and it just didn't
26:13
Speaker 1: hit there. They just did it. They tried bring Chris
26:17
Speaker 1: their song number one was make You Feel My Love
26:20
Speaker 1: by the Incredible Adults, says Adele. But that's a Garth
26:24
Speaker 1: Brooks song and that made me angry. Has Adele covered it?
26:28
Speaker 1: I guess so I was like to make you Feel
26:31
Speaker 1: My Love. That's a song from Hope Floats. That is
26:34
Speaker 1: Garth brook right. Well. Brian Chris have always shown the
26:39
Speaker 1: musical magic and they have always connected on stage and off.
26:42
Speaker 1: It does feel like a match made well in Heaven
26:46
Speaker 1: in a way um in Bachelor Heaven to Bob Dylan's
26:52
Speaker 1: song from Everybody Else comes, Oh my god, Mark, that's
26:56
Speaker 1: so crazy. Even Garth Brooks covered it. That's so funny,
26:59
Speaker 1: it's so generational. Wow, and a Deele takes it and
27:03
Speaker 1: they give a del credit. That's I don't I don't
27:06
Speaker 1: love that. No, I don't like that. It's all no,
27:08
Speaker 1: it's all good. I mean, Mark, thanks for the fact checking.
27:11
Speaker 1: We always need to help. Song number two Speechless by
27:15
Speaker 1: Dan and Shade. This was performed by Jamie and Trevor. Yep,
27:19
Speaker 1: again a sweet song for a sweet couple. Nothing mind blowing.
27:25
Speaker 1: Brie and Chris. They do win it here. I think
27:29
Speaker 1: this is the moment that they pull ahead. I mean
27:31
Speaker 1: they were always ahead, but this is the moment where
27:33
Speaker 1: you knew this was it. They perform give Me Love
27:38
Speaker 1: by Ed Shearon. Yep, yeah, they did a great job.
27:42
Speaker 1: We should mention Ashley that the judges this week, they've
27:46
Speaker 1: had a couple of Bachelor Nation judges at times, they've
27:48
Speaker 1: brought in celebrities, uh, to come in and help pull
27:52
Speaker 1: this whole thing together. The judges this week were as mentioned,
27:56
Speaker 1: We got Caitlin Bristow and her boyfriend Jason Tardik, Tay Digs, Juels,
28:05
Speaker 1: and Rita Wilson. The judges absolutely loved, absolutely loved give
28:12
Speaker 1: Me Love by Ed Sheeran, performed by Bree and Chris,
28:14
Speaker 1: and as a result, Chris and Bree are the winners.
28:18
Speaker 1: What a panel though, right, What an amazing panel. And uh,
28:23
Speaker 1: it's interesting that Caitlin released her song this week before
28:27
Speaker 1: she was a judge on Listen to Your Heart. I
28:29
Speaker 1: wonder if there's any scheduling with that, because like it
28:32
Speaker 1: doesn't make her seem like a more credible musical judge.
28:35
Speaker 1: And then I love and then like Jewel, can we
28:39
Speaker 1: just say that she looks a lot like Lauren Bushnell
28:42
Speaker 1: in like fifteen twenty years really probably Yeah, I could
28:46
Speaker 1: definitely see that. That's a good point. The judges were
28:51
Speaker 1: were awesome, and it leads us to in the very
28:53
Speaker 1: end of the episode, obviously this we gotta ask Chris
28:58
Speaker 1: and Bree. But I have a I think this show
29:01
Speaker 1: ended filming in like February. I remember, we'll ask them
29:04
Speaker 1: for clarification, which means that the shutdown happened soon after.
29:08
Speaker 1: But we see them in a recording studio, still love
29:12
Speaker 1: and still getting their music on. Ashley, what what what's
29:16
Speaker 1: your prediction for Chris and Brie as a duo moving
29:20
Speaker 1: into the future. I don't know where their careers are
29:23
Speaker 1: gonna go. I feel like it's so hard to break
29:25
Speaker 1: into the music industry, even with platforms like they already have,
29:29
Speaker 1: Like because how many voice concessants and American idols have
29:32
Speaker 1: we seen, you know, have their fifteen minutes and then
29:36
Speaker 1: just fall off. So I can't like guarantee them like
29:39
Speaker 1: career success. But I do feel like they're gonna get married.
29:43
Speaker 1: I feel like they might be a bachelor love success. Well,
29:48
Speaker 1: congratulations with Chris and Bree, Ashley. We're lucky enough to
29:50
Speaker 1: have Chris and Brie coming on the podcast here in
29:52
Speaker 1: just a few seconds. As we get prepped and ready
29:55
Speaker 1: to go, let's take a break and come back with
29:57
Speaker 1: Chris and Brie, the winning couple from this season Listen
30:00
Speaker 1: to your Heart. All right, guys, we have few winners
30:13
Speaker 1: of Listen to Your Heart Season one, create cree I
30:17
Speaker 1: just gave you a couple of names. I was gonna
30:19
Speaker 1: say Chris and Brie, but I said Creez. So there
30:22
Speaker 1: you go. How do you guys like you a couple
30:23
Speaker 1: of names? Oh? I love it. That was actually an option,
30:27
Speaker 1: so maybe we should have gone with that one. That's
30:30
Speaker 1: an option. I think my favorite so far is crib
30:33
Speaker 1: I don't know, there's just a ring to it. It's
30:35
Speaker 1: like it works. It's Chris, It's Breeze, Breeze Chris. I
30:38
Speaker 1: don't know. That's so cute. We congratulations, guys. How does
30:42
Speaker 1: it feel? It was very obvious to us viewers that
30:46
Speaker 1: it was going to be you guys in the end.
30:47
Speaker 1: Was it obvious to you? No, I would say it's obvious.
30:54
Speaker 1: First off, thank you so much. I mean it feels amazing.
30:56
Speaker 1: I'm not going to take all the words, but let
30:58
Speaker 1: me to say two things. I don't know. In Vegas,
31:02
Speaker 1: we just like kind of had a feeling at rehearsal
31:06
Speaker 1: that I'm like, man, this just feels so good, Like
31:08
Speaker 1: it can't feel like like it felt wrong for feeling
31:12
Speaker 1: this good. Like I'm just like head over heels with
31:13
Speaker 1: this woman. The music is going great. I'm just like, yeah,
31:16
Speaker 1: maybe maybe this is for us. So yeah, yeah, we
31:22
Speaker 1: definitely knew that we were very strong. But um, you know,
31:26
Speaker 1: until Chris Harrison calls your names at the Rows ceremony,
31:28
Speaker 1: you're never safe. So that part was always terrifying. So
31:32
Speaker 1: we're very grateful that we won. What do you think
31:38
Speaker 1: propelled you to the end? Was it your love story
31:40
Speaker 1: or your talent as artists? Together? I want to say
31:45
Speaker 1: it's a healthy makes it both go ahead for you. Yeah,
31:49
Speaker 1: I think it's an equal combination. You know. Um, that's
31:51
Speaker 1: what the show was looking for, was a combination, and
31:55
Speaker 1: I feel like we figured it out and it turned
32:00
Speaker 1: into something that was beyond just us individually. Yeah, let's
32:05
Speaker 1: go through this episode. You guys were doing super well
32:09
Speaker 1: the entire season and then there seemed to be like
32:11
Speaker 1: some sort of weird bump in the road that to
32:13
Speaker 1: me seemed produced like somebody was like talking in your
32:16
Speaker 1: ear because you guys didn't go to the fantasy suite,
32:20
Speaker 1: which I totally respect. But then, Bree, you made it
32:24
Speaker 1: seem the next day like that was a reason that
32:26
Speaker 1: you weren't feeling connected to him what was going on.
32:31
Speaker 1: So the fantasy suite was never an option. UM and
32:35
Speaker 1: Chris and I agree to that from the beginning. So
32:37
Speaker 1: it was all about the rehearsal, the performance. Um. I
32:42
Speaker 1: had nerves. I was afraid that I was gonna mess
32:46
Speaker 1: things up for me and him. You know, it's the finale.
32:49
Speaker 1: It's the biggest night of our lives and for our
32:51
Speaker 1: careers that we've worked toward, and so I was very
32:55
Speaker 1: in my head about that part. But that's it nothing
32:59
Speaker 1: to do fantasy, So we got it. That's what I
33:01
Speaker 1: was figuring is it was such a small bump that
33:04
Speaker 1: was like just enough to make us go for like
33:07
Speaker 1: five minutes, that it carried us through drama wise. When
33:13
Speaker 1: Rudy and Matt left, yes, which was the real earthquake
33:18
Speaker 1: of the finale. Yeah, you guys didn't see that coming. Yeah,
33:24
Speaker 1: Like we we all knew, you know, what was going on,
33:27
Speaker 1: but I don't think we were expecting them to leave
33:30
Speaker 1: because we had gone through to that next step you know,
33:34
Speaker 1: and we all flew to Nashville. Um, so it just
33:37
Speaker 1: seemed like, you know, why wouldn't you do the finale?
33:40
Speaker 1: So yeah, it wasn't even on our radar. It took
33:43
Speaker 1: me off guard. How close did you get to the
33:46
Speaker 1: other couples in the house? We were all super close.
33:51
Speaker 1: I mean before performances, they didn't show none of this,
33:54
Speaker 1: but like I'd be like, yo, guys holding hands, were
33:56
Speaker 1: praying right now, we gotta go crush this thing. Like
33:59
Speaker 1: we were all there for each other, supporting each other
34:01
Speaker 1: because we knew we had to be each other's number
34:03
Speaker 1: one fan, Like, you know, the crowd is there for us,
34:05
Speaker 1: but we had to be there for each other. It's
34:08
Speaker 1: the craziest scenario for musicians and singers to be in.
34:11
Speaker 1: So we loved everybody. When was that finale wrapped? One
34:15
Speaker 1: month February mid February? Okay, so there was a couple
34:20
Speaker 1: of weeks left where you guys could date outside of
34:22
Speaker 1: a quarantined atmosphere. Did you guys hang out together? Because
34:27
Speaker 1: I see right now that you are in separate rooms,
34:29
Speaker 1: and I'm assuming in in separate states. Yeah, so I'm
34:34
Speaker 1: in Utah and Chris is in Los Angeles. So we
34:37
Speaker 1: had two weekends together before everything got shut down, which
34:41
Speaker 1: was incredible. Um, the first weekend we just got to
34:44
Speaker 1: kind of hang out together, and then the second weekend
34:46
Speaker 1: we got to start to work on the music and
34:49
Speaker 1: um rehearse with the band from the show and the
34:51
Speaker 1: music producers as well. And then the day I got back,
34:55
Speaker 1: they started to really change, and I think it was
34:58
Speaker 1: within two days things got locked down and we were
35:01
Speaker 1: just kind of stuck. Yeah, So, so how's it been
35:04
Speaker 1: being in a serious relationship that it's so early on
35:08
Speaker 1: and yet you're so far apart. We have a unique
35:13
Speaker 1: situation where we have to work together literally all day,
35:19
Speaker 1: so we're always in contact with each other. So number one,
35:22
Speaker 1: we have to talk to each other. Number Two, we
35:25
Speaker 1: love talking to each other. I'm telling you, like I
35:27
Speaker 1: wake up and it's the same thing on the show.
35:29
Speaker 1: I can't wait to talk to Brie. So it's it's
35:31
Speaker 1: really been amazing to like build on what we had
35:35
Speaker 1: and just like you know, make the test even realer
35:38
Speaker 1: like before we were together. But there are a bunch
35:40
Speaker 1: of cameras now we're not together and we can't even
35:42
Speaker 1: see each other, So where's the love really? And to
35:45
Speaker 1: see that it's actually stronger than it was before is
35:48
Speaker 1: truly just a blessing. So yeah, what are some areas
35:51
Speaker 1: that you see relationship getting stronger? Ah? Yeah, I I
36:02
Speaker 1: think one of the biggest ways is just like through communication.
36:05
Speaker 1: That's something that we have always done really well with.
36:09
Speaker 1: But obviously through quarantine, you know, there's no physical touch,
36:13
Speaker 1: there's I mean, all you have are your words, and
36:16
Speaker 1: so we've really been able to grow in that way
36:19
Speaker 1: and understand each other because you don't have anything else. Um.
36:23
Speaker 1: And because we did have that time on the show,
36:25
Speaker 1: it feels like we've been dating for a year and
36:27
Speaker 1: it feels like things we've done would have taken three years. Um.
36:31
Speaker 1: So luckily we have that. But yeah, i'd say communication. Okay,
36:36
Speaker 1: so you guys are working on a working on an
36:39
Speaker 1: album or a couple of songs. We finished an album, yeah,
36:46
Speaker 1: full album. We've got ten songs, uh, five originals and
36:49
Speaker 1: then the five covers that we ended up singing on
36:51
Speaker 1: the show. Amazing, that's so cool. Um. And then you
36:54
Speaker 1: guys are supposed to go out on a tour as
36:56
Speaker 1: part of the show too, And now I think you
36:58
Speaker 1: guys are gonna get it. Gets screwed out of that. Well,
37:01
Speaker 1: it's just the tourists's sponsored by the World Wide Web now,
37:04
Speaker 1: so different sort of tour. So we we will tour
37:09
Speaker 1: in person when everything gopens back up. But yeah, you know,
37:12
Speaker 1: a few things are gonna change, but you know, people
37:14
Speaker 1: who want to see us, we'll see us, and we
37:16
Speaker 1: will acent and provide every opportunity to perform perform together.
37:21
Speaker 1: So well, again we want to say, congratulations, What an accomplishment,
37:25
Speaker 1: What a crazy ride. What does it feel like now
37:28
Speaker 1: sitting in the place you're at, knowing that your seasons
37:32
Speaker 1: aired and knowing that you came out on top. It's
37:37
Speaker 1: the most amazing feeling. And I'm kind of glad that
37:41
Speaker 1: it aired, you know, three months later, because I've been
37:43
Speaker 1: able to fully process it, and we feel very it's
37:48
Speaker 1: cool to feel deserving of it because we worked really hard,
37:52
Speaker 1: um and very lucky, but just grateful that it worked
37:55
Speaker 1: out the way it was and that now we have
37:57
Speaker 1: each other from this awesome experience. Yeah, so you guys,
38:02
Speaker 1: there's no Neil Lane ring at the end of this show.
38:06
Speaker 1: But is engagement something you guys have thought of talked about? Sure?
38:12
Speaker 1: For sure. I mean it's something we've talked about. But
38:15
Speaker 1: you know, you know my lady's story. I'm not trying
38:18
Speaker 1: to rush her nowhere, especially when it comes to Gage,
38:21
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So it's definitely something that
38:24
Speaker 1: you know is on the radar. I think any healthy
38:27
Speaker 1: couple should, you know, not hold themselves back from that
38:30
Speaker 1: and you know, be clear with their intentions and what
38:33
Speaker 1: they want. You know. I told Brie on the show,
38:35
Speaker 1: and I was like, please don't run away from me,
38:37
Speaker 1: but I don't want to break up every again. That's
38:39
Speaker 1: not my intention getting into relationships, you know. And so
38:43
Speaker 1: that's just kind of where I'm at with like how
38:44
Speaker 1: I want to perceive in my life. So we'll get
38:47
Speaker 1: there when we get there. We are not rushing no way.
38:49
Speaker 1: You know, I'm American, I'm not Russian. So Brie, do
38:53
Speaker 1: you feel the same way, Um? I do. Yes, It's
38:58
Speaker 1: been a very natural conversation and we've talked a lot
39:02
Speaker 1: about our future because you know why not like we've
39:05
Speaker 1: jumped in with both feet and now we just need
39:10
Speaker 1: time together. Um. But yeah, it all it's all coming together.
39:16
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I have I keep getting more and more
39:18
Speaker 1: questions for you. I'll let you go soon. I know
39:20
Speaker 1: that you guys probably have a very busy press day. Um,
39:23
Speaker 1: what kind of music should we expect from you guys together?
39:27
Speaker 1: And is there any sort of conflict in your styles,
39:30
Speaker 1: like does one of you want to do one genre
39:32
Speaker 1: more than the other one does? No? Luckily we've It's
39:39
Speaker 1: weird how on the same page we've been, even on
39:41
Speaker 1: the show and making the music our own to creating
39:44
Speaker 1: the album, there's been very little tension in that way. Um,
39:48
Speaker 1: And I think naturally, you know, we're more soulful singer songwriter,
39:53
Speaker 1: and our voices lend themselves to be more R and
39:55
Speaker 1: B pop, So we hope to really pursue, don't you
39:58
Speaker 1: know that, Lane? Um, while also not closing anything off.
40:02
Speaker 1: And that's why the album was fun, because we kind
40:04
Speaker 1: of tried some different styles since we could. I'm gonna
40:07
Speaker 1: put you on the spot here for a second. Is
40:10
Speaker 1: they're a couple from the show that you think may
40:15
Speaker 1: get back together in the real world. I I really want.
40:20
Speaker 1: I mean, here's the thing. We talked to all these people,
40:22
Speaker 1: but I actually don't know everyone's relationship status is because
40:24
Speaker 1: we've been so busy with the album. But I really
40:27
Speaker 1: hope Mattain Rudy, Date and Ryan and Natasha and Howevor
40:31
Speaker 1: and Jamie. I don't know, but you know, I think
40:32
Speaker 1: because of the way that Um Mattain Rudy went out,
40:35
Speaker 1: they're just so freaking cute together, so fingers crossed for them. Yeah,
40:39
Speaker 1: I was thinking they'd both play both of an l
40:41
Speaker 1: a UM and the way that I ended definitely made
40:45
Speaker 1: me feel like they didn't feel like they had progressed
40:48
Speaker 1: enough to stay around, but not necessarily to give up
40:51
Speaker 1: on what they had right just at their own pace.
40:55
Speaker 1: And my final question for you guys is if they're
41:00
Speaker 1: is one person in your group of contestants that isn't
41:05
Speaker 1: including you guys, who would you say you can see
41:08
Speaker 1: being up the biggest Star and you can only name
41:12
Speaker 1: one person each? I mean we that's that's easily unanimous.
41:19
Speaker 1: Michael Todd like what else is there now? I'm being
41:22
Speaker 1: like all jokes aside, like dead serious. It was like
41:26
Speaker 1: maybe the second day or midway through the second day,
41:29
Speaker 1: Michael Todd walked in and like, bro, I have to say, Man,
41:32
Speaker 1: every time I've been around you, I've just been smiling
41:34
Speaker 1: from ear to ear, like you are just so funny.
41:37
Speaker 1: Like the way the show had him whatever, But he's
41:40
Speaker 1: just like one of the funniest guys. He's sarcastic. He's
41:43
Speaker 1: like so sarcastic, but you can't be sarcastic on reality television.
41:47
Speaker 1: That just doesn't work. So I don't know. I think
41:50
Speaker 1: I will second that. Because his name was brought up
41:53
Speaker 1: every single day to the very last day. He's like,
41:57
Speaker 1: we got two first names as a legend from the jump.
42:00
Speaker 1: He could be a singing comedian, one of those guys.
42:03
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah. So well, hey again, Congratulations Chris
42:09
Speaker 1: and Briefe from the very first season, the premier season
42:12
Speaker 1: of Listen to Your Heart. Congratulations on a huge win.
42:16
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us. Thank you guys so much, thank you,
42:20
Speaker 1: thank you. Alright, guys, well, from one Hot couple to
42:25
Speaker 1: one hot recipe for your taste, But I couldn't come
42:30
Speaker 1: up with one, but we have Katie Morton coming on
42:33
Speaker 1: right now to talk about her brownie recipe, one that
42:37
Speaker 1: has a little health twist, just in case you feel
42:40
Speaker 1: like you're packing on the pounds too much in quarantine.
42:43
Speaker 1: Hi guys, Hi, how are you? We're good? How are
42:48
Speaker 1: you you know, just in the house. How's the pup?
42:54
Speaker 1: He's good. He's like over there being so cute and sleeping.
43:00
Speaker 1: Could you imagine being quarantined without your dog? Um? No,
43:07
Speaker 1: I'm so glad I got him. Actually, I know. I know.
43:12
Speaker 1: It was a very impulsive decision at the time, but
43:15
Speaker 1: one of the best decisions I've ever made, very timely.
43:19
Speaker 1: I always say that getting you never really regret getting
43:22
Speaker 1: a dog, because like all my dog not purchasing adoptions
43:27
Speaker 1: have been all pretty impulsive too, and I'm just so
43:33
Speaker 1: happy in the end. Or you know, three days later, yeah,
43:37
Speaker 1: our a whole potty training a couple of months later, Yeah,
43:40
Speaker 1: that's that's what it is. Couple of months later. Yeah,
43:43
Speaker 1: because because I had like postpartum with my dog, this
43:45
Speaker 1: pastime with lois like we had postpartum. Because I was like,
43:49
Speaker 1: I was like, she's really annoying right now, and she's
43:52
Speaker 1: pooping everywhere, and she's peeing everywhere, and she's barking by
43:55
Speaker 1: and the neighbors are complaining. Yeah see there. Now he's
44:00
Speaker 1: starting to bark at everyone that walks past the window,
44:03
Speaker 1: which I'm like, oh, that's not good. But I kind
44:07
Speaker 1: of give him a past because now he's potty trained,
44:09
Speaker 1: so I'm like, all right, honestly, bargain whoever you want,
44:11
Speaker 1: because we are going to pee outside. Yeah, that's how
44:14
Speaker 1: they are now too. They won't stop barking, but they're
44:17
Speaker 1: good with the outdoors. This is a real raw look
44:20
Speaker 1: into what it's like to be in quarantine. Quarantine, quarantine
44:25
Speaker 1: with your puppies. We have Katie Morton on air right
44:30
Speaker 1: now talking everything potty training, puppy life, and Ashley is
44:35
Speaker 1: joining in on this conversation because we know how much
44:37
Speaker 1: of these two love their dogs famous babies. Lois inspired
44:44
Speaker 1: me to get Bear because Lois was so good on
44:48
Speaker 1: a plane and me and Bear haven't obviously gotten their
44:51
Speaker 1: chance to travel, but i'd be scared. Lois was so
44:55
Speaker 1: good it's almost too good. She's an angel traveler. So, Katie,
45:01
Speaker 1: you've been quarantined by yourself with Bear. Yeah, for almost
45:05
Speaker 1: We're going on week nine, damn girl. So how have
45:09
Speaker 1: you passed THEE Yeah? Um? I actually, like, I know.
45:15
Speaker 1: It's weird because whenever someone texts me, they're like I'm
45:18
Speaker 1: going crazy and quarantine are you going crazy? My initial
45:20
Speaker 1: responses I want to say, like, yeah, I'm going nuts,
45:24
Speaker 1: but I'm not actually going that nuts. In quarantine, I
45:27
Speaker 1: feel like it's been a really I definitely have my
45:29
Speaker 1: moments when I get in my head or I have
45:32
Speaker 1: like bouts of anxiety or something, but that's also everyday
45:38
Speaker 1: life is just you get in your head or you
45:40
Speaker 1: have abouts of anxiety. So I feel like quarantine's kind
45:42
Speaker 1: of helps slow down a little or not make me
45:46
Speaker 1: I feel as pressured to do so much. Um, I
45:49
Speaker 1: am getting a little bit a little antsy here and there.
45:53
Speaker 1: I definitely can use like a hug that would be
45:56
Speaker 1: really freaking nice. Um, But I've taken a lot of this.
46:00
Speaker 1: I'm to kind of self reflect. I guess it hasn't
46:03
Speaker 1: it hasn't been a perfect time, but I'm trying to
46:05
Speaker 1: make the best of it. Girl, I agree with you.
46:08
Speaker 1: I feel like I mean not you know, of course,
46:10
Speaker 1: respecting the circumstances for why we are in quarantine, but
46:14
Speaker 1: I for the most part, am enjoying the downtime and
46:17
Speaker 1: I'm not itching to get out. Yeah, I'm me neither,
46:20
Speaker 1: and I just I try to put it all in perspective.
46:23
Speaker 1: And I haven't lost a job or I loved one
46:28
Speaker 1: or anything like that, so ultimately, like I'm just trying
46:31
Speaker 1: to take this time to better myself. Um, and also, yeah,
46:34
Speaker 1: I'm not itching to get out. I'm also one of
46:37
Speaker 1: those people that when people ask me to do something,
46:39
Speaker 1: I'm like, how do I tell them? Know? Without telling
46:42
Speaker 1: them I have nothing to do? And now I'm like, oh,
46:44
Speaker 1: thank god, no one's asking me to do something right now,
46:49
Speaker 1: I can really with that. I'm always dodging, like, not
46:53
Speaker 1: that I get asked to do that much very often,
46:55
Speaker 1: but when I do, it always carries a little bit
46:58
Speaker 1: of weight behind it, like, dang, I really wanted to
47:01
Speaker 1: watch that show tonight from that person that, I'm like,
47:06
Speaker 1: how do I tell them? I like my couch more.
47:10
Speaker 1: There's a few people I like more than the couch. Katie.
47:14
Speaker 1: Are you watching Listen to Your Heart? I haven't watched,
47:21
Speaker 1: but I catching up with it. I've seen lots of memes.
47:25
Speaker 1: I mainly saw a big makeout meme of someone eating
47:28
Speaker 1: someone else's face. M hmm. Always is fun. I didn't
47:33
Speaker 1: see that one. Oh my gosh, it's a girl, Denise.
47:38
Speaker 1: It's probably Natasha. It's probably that first kiss. And then
47:42
Speaker 1: Natasha and her mouth is all like swallowing this guy's head. Yeah,
47:47
Speaker 1: good for her. That's the most of Listen to Your
47:51
Speaker 1: Heart That I've seen. It was interesting because when she
47:54
Speaker 1: was on her podcast, she said that Ryan was the
47:56
Speaker 1: one that used a lot of tongue, but that's always saw. Anyway,
48:00
Speaker 1: moving on, let's talk about what you've been cooking. Since
48:04
Speaker 1: this segment is called what's cooking Bache Donations, What are
48:12
Speaker 1: you cooking? Well, I know you guys want me to
48:15
Speaker 1: share my specific brownie recipe? Is that it? Yeah, I'm like,
48:20
Speaker 1: I've been cooking, honestly, a lot of things. Um so
48:24
Speaker 1: I actually made a specific brownie recipe. It's a little
48:27
Speaker 1: bit complicated, but you know what that was like a
48:30
Speaker 1: couple of weeks back when I had it was right
48:32
Speaker 1: after feeling like the initial anxiety of quarantine and right
48:35
Speaker 1: before I was like, I give up on trying to
48:37
Speaker 1: be the best Jeff in that in the house that
48:39
Speaker 1: I'm the only person living here, and why am I
48:41
Speaker 1: making so much of a mess? I honestly don't want
48:43
Speaker 1: to pick this up. But I did get into my
48:47
Speaker 1: baking uh bag, I guess you could say, and so
48:51
Speaker 1: get back. I did get into my baking bag, and
48:56
Speaker 1: I made these brownies that are vegetary in their dairy free,
49:01
Speaker 1: they do include eggs, which doesn't make them bagan like
49:04
Speaker 1: anything with eggs can't obviously be considered vegan, but they
49:08
Speaker 1: were healthier, although a little bit more complicated there, they
49:12
Speaker 1: were fun to make, and I ended up making them
49:15
Speaker 1: because I didn't want to go out and get a
49:16
Speaker 1: bunch of baking stuff. I don't like hold a bunch
49:18
Speaker 1: of baking stuff in my house. So I had to
49:20
Speaker 1: keep looking up substitutions, and I ended up having a
49:24
Speaker 1: bunch of different Yeah, so anytime it would call for
49:28
Speaker 1: like so let's say tapioca is like, what's a tapioca substitution,
49:32
Speaker 1: there's corn starts, there's error route. I had to I
49:34
Speaker 1: ended up learning so much. So if you don't have
49:37
Speaker 1: if you want to bake and you don't have something
49:39
Speaker 1: that it calls for Google substitutions because there's literally three,
49:44
Speaker 1: three to four substitutions for almost everything. That's a really
49:47
Speaker 1: fun quarantine activity because nobody's wanting to go to the
49:50
Speaker 1: grocery store just to pick up an ingredient or two. No,
49:53
Speaker 1: I'm not doing that. I'm absolutely not. Yeah, if I'm
49:56
Speaker 1: going to grow store, I'm geting the whole thing of
49:57
Speaker 1: brownies myself. I'm not going to bake I'm gonna go free, mate,
50:03
Speaker 1: So anyway, I'll tell you guys their recipe. It's pretty long.
50:06
Speaker 1: It's long winded, so here it goes. Get a pen
50:09
Speaker 1: and paper, guys, get a pen and paper. Two large eggs.
50:12
Speaker 1: I also posted it on my Instagram, too large. Two
50:15

Speaker 1: into the large bowl, adding flour, add bone broth, protein powder,
51:14
Speaker 1: or any protein powder that you have. I just have
51:16
Speaker 1: a bone broth protein powder. Put in protein powder into
51:20
Speaker 1: the brownies. I told myself, Hey, if you're gonna make brownies,
51:24
Speaker 1: try and make them healthier. Let me tell you, if
51:26
Speaker 1: I went to the store, I would not have grab
51:28
Speaker 1: the healthy brownies. So would That doesn't make a difference
51:31
Speaker 1: in the taste. No, it didn't make that much of
51:33
Speaker 1: a difference in the taste. I don't think I added
51:35
Speaker 1: enough protein. What about your muscles? It's just I'm swoll
51:39
Speaker 1: over here. This is bolk is booking season at my house.
