2:05
Speaker 1: You're one of my favorite people to ever come on
2:07
Speaker 1: this show. First off. Second off, I went home with
2:12
Speaker 1: my fiance's family. And I'm sure you get this all
2:15
Speaker 1: the time, but my fiance was like Hey, if Maddie
2:21
Speaker 1: is single, my brother who plays professional baseball, so he's
2:25
Speaker 1: he's equipped, um, please set him up. And I was like, honey,
2:29
Speaker 1: I have no clue how to do that, Like I
2:30
Speaker 1: have zero, Like I have zero way of doing that
2:33
Speaker 1: without just being super weird and creepy. But it's a
2:35
Speaker 1: compliment to you because you're loved by the Clark household. No, okay,
2:40
Speaker 1: you know what, I've actually been told that I look
2:42
Speaker 1: like your Yes, that's what I was gonna say. It
2:45
Speaker 1: would be too weird if like the two of them
2:48
Speaker 1: were in the same family, because then it maybe like, uh,
2:51
Speaker 1: Maddie's dating like her brother, like a brother. It's like
2:55
Speaker 1: it's like, you look way too much. Your girlfriend looks
2:59
Speaker 1: way too just like your sister. Well, it's a compliment.
3:05
Speaker 1: It's a compliment. Well, thank you. That is very very sweet.
3:08
Speaker 1: You guys are also two people that I look up
3:11
Speaker 1: to a whole lot, and I feel like you guys
3:13
Speaker 1: have done so much with your platforms and just taking
3:18
Speaker 1: it just like taking so much from the show and
3:20
Speaker 1: just letting it make you a better person and just
3:23
Speaker 1: continuing to grow that and use that to influence other
3:26
Speaker 1: people for the good. So I'm thankful for both of you,
3:30
Speaker 1: and even I guess I've never met either of you
3:32
Speaker 1: in person, which is kind of crazy to me, but
3:35
Speaker 1: hopefully hopefully one day soon. We didn't have the opportunity
3:38
Speaker 1: to meet you in person because by the time you
3:41
Speaker 1: were like free, Um, we couldn't see people in real life.
3:46
Speaker 1: So crazy, but you know, we do what we gotta
3:49
Speaker 1: do through Zoom. Well. Hey, we as we mentioned a
3:52
Speaker 1: second ago, Uh, we do have medicine prow on the
3:56
Speaker 1: almost famous in depth. Uh. You know, there's a lot
4:00
Speaker 1: we want to tackle today, Madison, a lot of what
4:02
Speaker 1: you're doing with the world. Um, before you came on,
4:04
Speaker 1: I had just mentioned that, you know, as you just
4:06
Speaker 1: kind of I guess mirrored. Um, you're you are using
4:10
Speaker 1: your platform to help others. But we do have to
4:12
Speaker 1: dive into a few things before we really go into
4:14
Speaker 1: what you're doing to help the world and to invest
4:17
Speaker 1: into people, uh and in depth episode and we all
4:20
Speaker 1: we always do. This is really just to get to
4:22
Speaker 1: know you a little bit better. Um, there's no angle
4:24
Speaker 1: at this, it's just, Hey, we just want to get
4:26
Speaker 1: to know you, and you're somebody we've always been excited
4:28
Speaker 1: to have on so Ashley take it away. Oh man, Maddie,
4:32
Speaker 1: where do we start with your childhood? So let's talk
4:34
Speaker 1: about basketball for a second. You won four high school
4:38
Speaker 1: state titles. Um, you were an all star player, your
4:42
Speaker 1: dad was a coach. Is it weird that you didn't
4:46
Speaker 1: end up going pro? Or was it just a fun hobby? Oh? No, No,
4:52
Speaker 1: I don't feel like I I was at that level,
4:54
Speaker 1: you know. I I really enjoyed it in high school
4:56
Speaker 1: a lot. And I still am super and involved in
5:00
Speaker 1: the sports world like a lot, very much so. And
5:04
Speaker 1: I actually every single summer my dad has me helping
5:08
Speaker 1: the basketball camps to Auburn University basketball camps, and so
5:11
Speaker 1: it's that's always so fun because all these like I
5:15
Speaker 1: think it's like fifteen and younger something like that. You know,
5:18
Speaker 1: all these kids like guys are coming in and then
5:20
Speaker 1: my dad will call me up and be like, all right, Maddie,
5:22
Speaker 1: my daughter is gonna read the camp or whatever, and
5:24
Speaker 1: all these kids are looking at me like who's this girl,
5:28
Speaker 1: And I'll be like, all right, fine, and you don't
5:31
Speaker 1: think I can do it, Let's let's play one on one.
5:33
Speaker 1: And then you know, most of the time I win,
5:35
Speaker 1: unless they're they're like really good. But um, so that's
5:39
Speaker 1: been that's been fun. But no, I didn't ever really
5:42
Speaker 1: consider playing after high school I kind of start. So
5:46
Speaker 1: I grew up in the gym. That was literally I
5:50
Speaker 1: ate claps thread basketball from a very young age. My
5:54
Speaker 1: dadd coach girls and boys all throughout high school. So
5:58
Speaker 1: the gym all time, traveling with between you at the
6:02
Speaker 1: camps and all that stuff. So yes, so we know
6:06
Speaker 1: that you were linked with a basketball player over the
6:08
Speaker 1: past few months. I'm not going to ask you too
6:12
Speaker 1: much to go to in depth here, but like, are
6:15
Speaker 1: you single? Would you consider yourself single? Um, I'm just
6:20
Speaker 1: trying to think of how to this. I am just
6:26
Speaker 1: really I don't know and maybe you guys can understand this,
6:30
Speaker 1: But ever since I came off the show, like I
6:33
Speaker 1: guess because in because it's all about relationships obviously on
6:36
Speaker 1: the show, and so like having your relationship so in
6:39
Speaker 1: the spotlight, it was just very interesting. Um, you know,
6:44
Speaker 1: when I came off the show, I kind of made
6:46
Speaker 1: a promise to myself, like, Okay, if I get in
6:48
Speaker 1: another relationship, I'm going to one take very very slow
6:53
Speaker 1: and too I'm going to make her like that I
6:58
Speaker 1: have time before I ever public of it and announce it.
7:02
Speaker 1: So I've been super private about my relationship life. I guess, um.
7:11
Speaker 1: But when I went and if I'm ready to help public,
7:15
Speaker 1: you guys will be the first to know. I'm gonna
7:17
Speaker 1: call I'm gonna call you athletes. Well you know it's true, though,
7:23
Speaker 1: because you have this thing. So my fiance now and
7:26
Speaker 1: I dated, and we didn't have the benefit that Ashley
7:29
Speaker 1: and Jared had. I guess we did have the benefit
7:31
Speaker 1: because they were very public, but like we had dated
7:34
Speaker 1: for four months before I said anything publicly, because it
7:38
Speaker 1: puts a lot of pressure on one But it can't
7:40
Speaker 1: be easy for you because you come off the show
7:44
Speaker 1: and as I mentioned at the beginning of your interview,
7:47
Speaker 1: like you are every parents dream for their son like
7:51
Speaker 1: you are. Like you are every parent out there was like, Hey,
7:54
Speaker 1: I would love if my son dated Madison, Like that
7:56
Speaker 1: would be fantastic. Let's set her up. And so it
8:00
Speaker 1: probably gets like I'm you tell me, was it overwhelming
8:06
Speaker 1: because it's not like you lived your whole life with
8:08
Speaker 1: like people just like always asking you to date. And
8:15
Speaker 1: I actually was in a relationship for like four years
8:18
Speaker 1: before the show. I mean I've had a year gap
8:20
Speaker 1: where I didn't date at all, um after that relationship
8:23
Speaker 1: before I went on the show. So I really haven't
8:25
Speaker 1: been in many relationships with something that I I do
8:28
Speaker 1: take super seriously and I take really slow. Um. But yeah,
8:33
Speaker 1: I would say after the show, it's just it's overwhelming
8:36
Speaker 1: in a lot of different ways. You know, you're getting
8:39
Speaker 1: a lot, don't at you um in a great way, Um,
8:43
Speaker 1: but yeah, just a lot that's so new that you're
8:47
Speaker 1: not to And so I would say, um, you know,
8:51
Speaker 1: as different people were reaching out for me, it's just
8:54
Speaker 1: I always I don't know, I've never been one to
8:57
Speaker 1: just be like, oh, I'm just gonna like have fun
8:59
Speaker 1: and just like day to day Like I've always taped
9:02
Speaker 1: relationships super seriously, you know, and trying to like you know,
9:07
Speaker 1: I'm just like, I don't know, I'm about to be
9:09
Speaker 1: twenty five, Like I don't want to waste my time,
9:11
Speaker 1: you know, I want to date with the intent to marry,
9:14
Speaker 1: and so if that's my goal, then you know, really
9:17
Speaker 1: feeling that person out, making sure our morals, our values,
9:20
Speaker 1: things like that really line up, and then you know,
9:23
Speaker 1: just taking it slow and figuring it out along as
9:25
Speaker 1: you go, Um, so yeah, I would say, like any
9:28
Speaker 1: any dudes that were reaching out, like it was really
9:31
Speaker 1: just me kind of figuring out, like I don't really
9:34
Speaker 1: want to entertain this unless you know you have the
9:38
Speaker 1: kind of part that I'm moving forward. So I had
9:41
Speaker 1: a date as a virgin for a long time, and
9:43
Speaker 1: I was always waiting for the right time, and I
9:47
Speaker 1: found it to be a little bit more difficult than
9:52
Speaker 1: my other friends. How do you find dating as somebody
9:57
Speaker 1: who's waiting for marriage? Um, I guess for me, Um,
10:02
Speaker 1: I really I don't know, Like for me, it doesn't
10:05
Speaker 1: really I mean, I guess, yeah, I guess it does.
10:07
Speaker 1: Like change is different, um than I guess. I don't know.
10:11
Speaker 1: I'm trying to like how to phreak this. I mean,
10:14
Speaker 1: for me, I never really saw it like that just
10:16
Speaker 1: was just who that's just who I am, and just
10:18
Speaker 1: like how it's always been for me. So I've you know,
10:20
Speaker 1: never really known the flip side of it. And I
10:23
Speaker 1: guess for me, it's just Okay, this is who I am,
10:25
Speaker 1: and I don't want to be with anyone that that
10:28
Speaker 1: doesn't see me for who I am and love that
10:30
Speaker 1: about me. And so for that reason, um, you know,
10:34
Speaker 1: I see it as like it's a beautiful thing, and
10:37
Speaker 1: it's a gift that I am waiting for, you know,
10:40
Speaker 1: for that for that right person and for the person
10:42
Speaker 1: that I'm married to, and so because of that, you know,
10:45
Speaker 1: for me, I see it because I think it can
10:48
Speaker 1: be seen a lot of different ways. And maybe you
10:50
Speaker 1: experienced this, you know, when people would ask you about it.
10:52
Speaker 1: But I think for me, there's I get so many questions,
10:55
Speaker 1: and I think, like, it's just so interesting to hear,
10:58
Speaker 1: you know, other people. I always love hearing other people's
11:00
Speaker 1: opinions inside, you know, regarding different things. And you know,
11:03
Speaker 1: for a lot of people see it as like, oh
11:06
Speaker 1: is it is it really hard or is it you know, um,
11:09
Speaker 1: you know, a huge sacrifice? Is it something you know
11:12
Speaker 1: this or that? And of course it's not easy. But
11:15
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, UM, to me, I
11:17
Speaker 1: don't see it as like this huge thing that I'm
11:19
Speaker 1: having to give up. Rather I see it as this
11:21
Speaker 1: like amazing thing that I get the one day have
11:23
Speaker 1: that I'm just waiting to have the best person for me, um.
11:28
Speaker 1: And so that's really how I view it. Of course,
11:31
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some probably relationships or guys that might
11:36
Speaker 1: not have the same you know, perspective, and then if
11:38
Speaker 1: that's the case, then that relationship might not you know,
11:41
Speaker 1: work out. But I guess for me, like, if I'm
11:45
Speaker 1: looking for relationships, you know, now, I'm probably already looking
11:49
Speaker 1: for someone who doesn't necessarily have to have the exact
11:51
Speaker 1: same you know, life experiences that I've had, Like, I
11:54
Speaker 1: don't expect him to be like a virgin and like
11:57
Speaker 1: all this stuff, but I do think that it isn't
12:00
Speaker 1: we didn't that we share you know, the same vision
12:02
Speaker 1: in that way, and um, that we can really honor
12:05
Speaker 1: each other in that way. It's really awesome. Well, I
12:08
Speaker 1: know you spoke to a lot of people, uh during
12:10
Speaker 1: your time on the show, and you did in a
12:12
Speaker 1: great way. Uh. You did in a way that was
12:15
Speaker 1: not judgmental, that was freeing that that uh clearly UM
12:21
Speaker 1: said what you were about. UH, And I know it
12:23
Speaker 1: spoke to Ashley and then my fiance obviously has the
12:27
Speaker 1: the exact same story and it's been a huge thing
12:30
Speaker 1: in our relationship. Not always easy and a lot of
12:32
Speaker 1: times it sucks, um, but it's the right thing for us,
12:36
Speaker 1: and UH, it's been the best thing for us. And
12:40
Speaker 1: I know that gift is one that you helped kind
12:42
Speaker 1: of uh clear the clear the way for so, Hey, Madison,
12:46
Speaker 1: I do want to roll in here because you are
12:48
Speaker 1: up to a lot right now, and I know you
12:49
Speaker 1: have a partnership with World Vision and UH. And World
12:52
Speaker 1: Vision is a tremendous organization that UH in fact, has
12:56
Speaker 1: been a great support to the causes that I I've
13:00
Speaker 1: worked with. They are a massive organization, So I want
13:02
Speaker 1: to give a little the little idea who World Vision is.
13:05
Speaker 1: They're one of the largest NGOs in the world, UH
13:09
Speaker 1: and distribute funds and also care for those in need. Madison,
13:13
Speaker 1: tell anybody out there what your partnership is with World
13:16
Speaker 1: Vision and what you're hoping out of it. Yes, So
13:20
Speaker 1: I was actually thinking about this earlier. It really is
13:23
Speaker 1: like the coolest connection to me because for me, the
13:26
Speaker 1: first experience I actually had with World Vision, I was
13:29
Speaker 1: in college and I was at a Christian concert with
13:32
Speaker 1: some of my friends and I can I can just
13:34
Speaker 1: remember this so vividly, but I was sitting I was
13:37
Speaker 1: sitting in the concert in my feet and it was
13:40
Speaker 1: intermission and everyone's leaving to like, you know, drinks and
13:43
Speaker 1: tax things at that and UM, some people from world
13:46
Speaker 1: Vision Camp came out on stage and they were sharing
13:49
Speaker 1: the Heart Division and you know, they were showing videos
13:52
Speaker 1: and sharing the stories of lives that they've impacted, and
13:55
Speaker 1: I just broke down in tears and I just started crying.
13:59
Speaker 1: And I'm not I not cry, Like, I am not
14:01
Speaker 1: an emotional person. And so all my friends around me
14:04
Speaker 1: were like, due to you, okay. And I just remember
14:07
Speaker 1: in that moment just being so broken and just having
14:10
Speaker 1: such a heart and feeling so connected to World Vision,
14:13
Speaker 1: and I just remember I turned to my friends and
14:15
Speaker 1: I was like, this, but this, this, this, this is it.
14:18
Speaker 1: This is what I want to be a part of.
14:19
Speaker 1: This is why I was put on this earth, Like
14:21
Speaker 1: I want to be a part of this in some way.
14:23
Speaker 1: And so it's so for me to look back to
14:27
Speaker 1: six or seven years ago, you know, when I had
14:29
Speaker 1: that moment and then being kind of like at this
14:31
Speaker 1: place where World Vision reached out and and we talked
14:34
Speaker 1: about a partnership and and doing some things together. Um,
14:38
Speaker 1: it's just such a surreal moment that I had, you know,
14:41
Speaker 1: six or seven years ago that I just knew that
14:43
Speaker 1: I do something um with this organization and just really
14:46
Speaker 1: their heart and their mission but also like the numbers
14:50
Speaker 1: of lives that they've changed, it's just it's unreal and
14:54
Speaker 1: so um you know, it's it's a big part of
14:56
Speaker 1: my heart and my passion and also my family. And
14:59
Speaker 1: that's kind of just like how I was raised and
15:02
Speaker 1: just like what I grew up, just wanting to do
15:04
Speaker 1: and wanting to be a part of in the foster
15:07
Speaker 1: care system for a little bit, and so I had
15:09
Speaker 1: like a tiny bit you know, of experience just in um,
15:13
Speaker 1: you know, that world, And so when they reached out,
15:15
Speaker 1: it was just like an immediate yes for me. I
15:17
Speaker 1: knew it was something I wanted to be a part of,
15:19
Speaker 1: and especially around the holiday times and with everything that's
15:22
Speaker 1: going on in our world in the middle of this pandemic, um,
15:25
Speaker 1: just being able to be a part of something and
15:27
Speaker 1: to talk about this holiday gift catalog and how people
15:30
Speaker 1: can purchase gifts that that really are empowering kids and
15:33
Speaker 1: changing lives forever. And I think that's so powerful. You know,
15:37
Speaker 1: we're gonna be giving gifts anyway, We're gonna be buying
15:39
Speaker 1: gifts anyways. You might as well buy one that's gonna
15:42
Speaker 1: literally change the trarectory of someone's life and change communities.
15:46
Speaker 1: So that's that's just a little bit of it. But
15:49
Speaker 1: I'm just really excited about it and really honored to
15:52
Speaker 1: just be a part of it. Well, I know we
16:04
Speaker 1: only have a few minutes here with you left, and
16:06
Speaker 1: we do have to get Ashley's most famous segment in
16:09
Speaker 1: before You let you go, But Madison, I do want
16:12
Speaker 1: to ask you to kind of close this off. Um
16:14
Speaker 1: two part question One, where can people go to get involved,
16:18
Speaker 1: to purchase these gifts to help out? The second is
16:22
Speaker 1: I you kind of mentioned it, but you you know,
16:26
Speaker 1: you're in college not that long ago, sitting at a
16:29
Speaker 1: concert hearing about World Vision, uh, going Hey, I want
16:32
Speaker 1: to help out because I believe in what they're doing.
16:34
Speaker 1: I like this idea. And then you find yourself few
16:36
Speaker 1: years later with a massive platform, uh, and that men
16:39
Speaker 1: and women everywhere following your lead and listening to you,
16:42
Speaker 1: and that you have a voice that that's always mattered,
16:45
Speaker 1: but a voice that's now uh, that's heard a lot
16:47
Speaker 1: more than it was before. What does it feel like
16:50
Speaker 1: for you to know that you're not only just helping,
16:52
Speaker 1: but you have a massive part in moving the needle
16:55
Speaker 1: to fight injustice through the avenues of World Vision Because
16:59
Speaker 1: of the show because of what the show kind of
17:01
Speaker 1: gave you. First of all, let's cry, that's fine, just
17:05
Speaker 1: ne gonna be the tears over here band, It's fine.
17:09
Speaker 1: So I I mean, really, it's it's it's just humbling,
17:13
Speaker 1: like all right, like getting emotional, but it's just it's
17:16
Speaker 1: just that we get to all play whatever your role
17:21
Speaker 1: looks like, we get to all play a role in
17:24
Speaker 1: making a difference and adding value to people. And that's
17:27
Speaker 1: that's the full point, Like, that's the full reason that
17:30
Speaker 1: we're on this earth. And so really it's just super
17:33
Speaker 1: humbling to um to be a part of it and
17:36
Speaker 1: yet to have a voice. Um. And I was doing
17:39
Speaker 1: these sort of things before the show, but like you said,
17:41
Speaker 1: now that it's not a place where it is a
17:44
Speaker 1: bigger platform and my voice is amplified to be able
17:48
Speaker 1: to inspire and encourage people. Um, your life matters and
17:52
Speaker 1: um and and you were called to make a difference
17:55
Speaker 1: in other lives, like that's just that's just amazing to
17:58
Speaker 1: be able to share that with people. UM. And so yeah,
18:01
Speaker 1: I think and then and then with World Vision again,
18:04
Speaker 1: like I said, it's always been such a big part
18:06
Speaker 1: of my heart and they have so many amazing things
18:08
Speaker 1: that you can be a part of in so many ways.
18:10
Speaker 1: You can give during the holiday, but even outside of
18:12
Speaker 1: the holiday season. But right now, the Holiday Gifts catalog,
18:16
Speaker 1: there's so many different gifts that you can look into.
18:17
Speaker 1: They have goats, which is like the coolest thing ever
18:20
Speaker 1: to me, UM that you can literally purchase a goat
18:22
Speaker 1: for like eighty five bucks and it goes so far.
18:24
Speaker 1: It literally can change a life and family's life and
18:27
Speaker 1: a community. UM. And it just a little goes a
18:30
Speaker 1: long way with these gifts UM. And so they have
18:32
Speaker 1: so many different gifts you can choose from the tangible gifts,
18:35
Speaker 1: like I'm wearing one of the rings right now, UM
18:38
Speaker 1: from the gifts catalog, and it's just a lot to
18:41
Speaker 1: choose from in a lot of different ways that you
18:43
Speaker 1: can get plugged in and involved. But you can go
18:44
Speaker 1: to world Vision dot org and browse that UM that
18:48
Speaker 1: holiday catalog and just you know, choose, choose a gift
18:51
Speaker 1: that really rests with you UM and then boom, you're
18:53
Speaker 1: making a difference. Well that beautifully transitions into my rapid
18:59
Speaker 1: fire because my first question is what is your favorite
19:02
Speaker 1: gift to give? UM? As part of the World's Vision
19:05
Speaker 1: UM gift catalog, is it the goat? Honestly, I think
19:09
Speaker 1: it might be the goat. I mean, I think it's
19:13
Speaker 1: just so cool, like you think about buying an animal,
19:16
Speaker 1: I don't think about buying to know that like you
19:19
Speaker 1: can literally spend eighty five bucks, like I, you know,
19:22
Speaker 1: would buy a shirt, two shirts whatever for eighty five dollars,
19:25
Speaker 1: So I can buy for eighty five dollars in a
19:28
Speaker 1: little bit goes a long way, like I said, like
19:30
Speaker 1: these these goats can produce to like sixteen cups of
19:32
Speaker 1: milk a day, and the family that can be used
19:37
Speaker 1: to sell and give away in the community around you.
19:40
Speaker 1: And so it's just so cool to me to see
19:42
Speaker 1: like how World Vision literally makes every single dollar count.
19:45
Speaker 1: And like I said, just like a little ghost so long,
19:47
Speaker 1: like such a long way. So I would probably say
19:50
Speaker 1: the goat um or or the jewelry I do love.
19:53
Speaker 1: I love jewelry personally, and it just like serves as
19:55
Speaker 1: just like reminder every time you wear it, like hey,
19:58
Speaker 1: I'm a part of something bigger than me and I'm
20:00
Speaker 1: making a difference. So I would probably say one of
20:03
Speaker 1: those two things, but probably be good. Alright, So from
20:06
Speaker 1: your favorite your top pick for gifts to your top
20:09
Speaker 1: pick for Tassia. Who are you woting for? I honestly, okay,
20:15
Speaker 1: see this is where this is where I struggle, because
20:18
Speaker 1: I honestly, like, I get so nervous answering this question
20:21
Speaker 1: because it always made me like really really like I
20:24
Speaker 1: don't know when people answered this when I was on
20:26
Speaker 1: my secience, it was kind of like hurtful and people like,
20:29
Speaker 1: you know me. So I really truly and just I
20:34
Speaker 1: think she has some incredible guys on there. Um, and
20:37
Speaker 1: I think she has such a good head on her
20:39
Speaker 1: shoulders and she is just one of the most genuine
20:42
Speaker 1: people I've ever seen. And so I know, like for
20:45
Speaker 1: a fact that she's going to choose the person that
20:48
Speaker 1: really compliments her well and that's going to push her
20:50
Speaker 1: and make her better. Um. She's had some really real
20:53
Speaker 1: and like raw conversations, which I think so cool, Like Okay,
20:58
Speaker 1: you can get lost in just the high so of everything,
21:00
Speaker 1: in the like emotional high of everything on the show.
21:03
Speaker 1: So I always love seeing the really raw and real conversations,
21:07
Speaker 1: and so I'm very interested to see who she picks. Um.
21:10
Speaker 1: I I never liked saying like I don't know, I
21:13
Speaker 1: just like I feel so bad. I never like saying, Okay,
21:15
Speaker 1: that's very sweet of you eating for yeah, but like,
21:20
Speaker 1: but I don't know, So I just I'm just rooting Potasia.
21:23
Speaker 1: I'm just rooting for her and her happiness and just
21:26
Speaker 1: for her to find the person that is gonna be
21:29
Speaker 1: the best fit for her. Like whatever, that looks like,
21:32
Speaker 1: good answer? Okay, I know we have second leapt with you,

21:52
Speaker 1: your favorite Christmas movie? So? And I know that you've

22:01
Speaker 1: favorite mask? Era? So, Okay, it's actually not a one
22:06
Speaker 1: or because the truth the truth is, I really use
22:11
Speaker 1: like ten different mascaras because I'm so picky about my
22:15
Speaker 1: lashes and I try and get that like perfect look
22:18
Speaker 1: that I'm going forward. So I actually use a bunch
22:21
Speaker 1: of different masks. I like part mabelin um It because

Speaker 1: many times later on and it's gonna be great. We're
25:08
Speaker 1: gonna know Madison really well. But we do want to
25:11
Speaker 1: break down everything going on currently in Bachelor Nations. So
25:14
Speaker 1: here's the first headline. The Bachelor at Hometown Dates will
25:16
Speaker 1: be live from La Quinta. This is crazy. I mean,
25:21
Speaker 1: it's also no surprise, like we know that the families
25:23
Speaker 1: are going to come here. Actually what surprising is that
25:26
Speaker 1: they're even flying the families in. I thought there was
25:28
Speaker 1: going to be no hometown dates. I thought what they
25:30
Speaker 1: were going to do was kind of like what they
25:31
Speaker 1: did for Caitlin season and fly the families in that
25:34
Speaker 1: were for the top two. Because I was like, that's
25:37
Speaker 1: a lot of families to come and fly in into
25:39
Speaker 1: quarantine for five days, and especially since you don't since
25:43
Speaker 1: I don't think that you know, like what, there's such
25:46
Speaker 1: a tight filming schedule here that I'm thinking that they
25:50
Speaker 1: had to probably fly out like seven families or something
25:55
Speaker 1: and they have them all quarantine and then be like, oh,
25:57
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, your son gotta elimonde, so you'll all go
26:00
Speaker 1: home together. I'm pretty sure this is how it happened.
26:04
Speaker 1: We need to ask somebody in production or one of
26:07
Speaker 1: these guys. Once that we do see who gets eliminated,
26:10
Speaker 1: we have to ask if their family was actually flown out.
26:12
Speaker 1: I want to know if, like these families for like
26:16
Speaker 1: we're quarantine for four days or whatever it takes, and
26:18
Speaker 1: then like day five they get somebody. I want to
26:21
Speaker 1: know who the production person is that has to go
26:23
Speaker 1: into the room and tell like four people, hey, guys, sorry,
26:27
Speaker 1: Like I know you've been stuck in this room and
26:30
Speaker 1: I know you have no clue what's going on, but
26:32
Speaker 1: unfortunately you're just gonna have to go home with no
26:34
Speaker 1: more details than that. Like that is a terrible job
26:39
Speaker 1: to have, and I mean, like it's a little bit risky,
26:42
Speaker 1: Like you're telling these families like you have to get
26:44
Speaker 1: on a plane now, and like I I gonna a
26:46
Speaker 1: lot of them probably didn't want to get on a plane,
26:48
Speaker 1: especially you know, like back in the summer, and then
26:52
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to quarantine for five days. Of course,
26:54
Speaker 1: they were going to make it seem like very nice
26:56
Speaker 1: and it was very nice quarantine that they're gonna be
26:58
Speaker 1: like we get We're gonna give you a sweet eat,
27:00
Speaker 1: You're gonna have a hot tub in your backyard, you're
27:02
Speaker 1: gonna have a pool like you can access. Um, we're
27:04
Speaker 1: gonna get you all your meals like. It sounds nice
27:06
Speaker 1: and it was very much a vacation. Um, but it's
27:09
Speaker 1: definitely like a sacrifice. And I'm also thinking like maybe
27:14
Speaker 1: this is what Tasia did. Maybe she told the producers
27:17
Speaker 1: these two guys are definitely getting through, so you can
27:22
Speaker 1: send their families out. Now. We'll start quarantining them. So
27:25
Speaker 1: by the time that I eliminated down to four, those
27:28
Speaker 1: families will be ready for those two like first um
27:33
Speaker 1: hometown days and then like when I eliminate these other
27:39
Speaker 1: then when I really know who my top four, will
27:41
Speaker 1: send the other families out and then they'll just shoot
27:43
Speaker 1: later in the week. That can make sense. Well, hey,
27:46
Speaker 1: this next headline is one that we're all celebrating. Uh.
27:50
Speaker 1: Chris Lane teases that he's secretly hoping pregnant Lauren Bushnell
27:54
Speaker 1: has a baby boy. This according to us Weetly, now
27:57
Speaker 1: here's the thing I did comment on Laurence picture, uh
28:01
Speaker 1: about when she announced the news and it it made
28:04
Speaker 1: some headlines. Uh, I mean I don't. I don't know, Like,
28:08
Speaker 1: of course I'm excited for her. She's married. Like, she's
28:11
Speaker 1: married and she's having a baby, Like, yes, she is
28:14
Speaker 1: my ex, Yes we had a relationship. Yes, we tried
28:17
Speaker 1: to make that relationship work. It didn't work. Uh, and
28:21
Speaker 1: she moved on to somebody it's working great with. In fact,
28:23
Speaker 1: it's working so well that they're going to bring life
28:26
Speaker 1: into this world. Who am I if I wasn't super
28:29
Speaker 1: pumped for them, Like, why is this a big deal?
28:32
Speaker 1: I don't know, the fact that it didn't make headlines
28:34
Speaker 1: is very funny. It's like, yeah, of course, because she's married,
28:37
Speaker 1: it's been years, and he's engaged and was supposed to,
28:41
Speaker 1: you know, if everything went according to plan without COVID,
28:43
Speaker 1: was supposed to get married in November. It's wild. So hey,
28:47
Speaker 1: I'm pumped for Lauren and Chris, like this worked out
28:49
Speaker 1: great for us all, Like I'm ecstatic about Jessica. Uh.
28:54
Speaker 1: And I think Lauren is obviously ecstatic about Chris. I'm
28:57
Speaker 1: sure he feels vice versa um and so we have
29:00
Speaker 1: another bachelor baby on the way. I know that Ashley,
29:03
Speaker 1: according to this headline. Uh there might though be uh
29:08
Speaker 1: some mixed opinions on what kind of baby they want,
29:11
Speaker 1: boy or girl? Maybe? Yeah, so they He says that
29:15
Speaker 1: they're very close to being able to find out the sex,
29:18
Speaker 1: and they're going to find out. He says that his
29:21
Speaker 1: mom wants a girl. He secretly is hoping or not
29:24
Speaker 1: so secretly it's hoping for a boy. And he thinks
29:28
Speaker 1: Lauren wants a girl. And yes, I gotta say, I
29:31
Speaker 1: imagine Lauren with a girl, but it'll be great both ways. Yeah,
29:35
Speaker 1: this is, this is a big deal though, and I
29:37
Speaker 1: mean it's exciting for them. Hey, Ashley, tell me this.
29:39
Speaker 1: You might know more than I do, but I do
29:42
Speaker 1: know that they were pretty open right about their like
29:44
Speaker 1: struggles getting pregnant or their hopes for getting pregnant. So
29:48
Speaker 1: so this isn't just something that's like happened easily, right,
29:51
Speaker 1: This is this is a big deal for them, just
29:53
Speaker 1: like it is for anybody. But it took some work. Yeah, definitely.
29:57
Speaker 1: She posted on Instagram a couple of months or you know,
29:59
Speaker 1: I guess been like four or five months at this point,
30:02
Speaker 1: maybe even longer. But everything feels like yesterday. Um, since
30:07
Speaker 1: she posted something that said, like she never imagined that
30:12
Speaker 1: it would like take this long for her to get pregnant.
30:15
Speaker 1: So yeah, they were definitely trying for a while. Yeah,
30:18
Speaker 1: well good for them. Um, super pumped for Lauren obviously
30:21
Speaker 1: she she will always hold a very special place in
30:24
Speaker 1: my heart. Um we shared a lot together. But uh,
30:29
Speaker 1: super pumped that a new life is is forming and
30:32
Speaker 1: it's coming into Bachelor Nation. Will be faun along and
30:34
Speaker 1: giving you updates along the way. Now, hey, we do
30:37
Speaker 1: have another headline that just came through. Uh, this is
30:41
Speaker 1: hot off the press. I mean, I literally we just
30:43
Speaker 1: got this message as we're breaking down the last headline.
30:47
Speaker 1: It's one. It's a big one. I would say, this
30:50
Speaker 1: is this there's a lot to actually, I need you
30:53
Speaker 1: to help me break it down. Here's the headline and
30:55
Speaker 1: it reads, Tasha Adams reveals which bachelorettes suitor is husband
31:02
Speaker 1: material and addresses diamond ring. Alright, So Atacia was on
31:06
Speaker 1: Ellen yesterday and she said that when it comes to
31:10
Speaker 1: best kiss her, Ben, Blake, Brendan, and Zach were all
31:16
Speaker 1: in the running for that. Interesting. Does that mean that's
31:21
Speaker 1: a top that could be a top four? I don't know.
31:23
Speaker 1: Blake just seems so out of this realm for me.
31:28
Speaker 1: But whatever, But she said that the man who is
31:33
Speaker 1: most husband material I'm going to leave a dramatic pause
31:39
Speaker 1: is Zach. And then Ellen goes, so you ended up
31:43
Speaker 1: with Zach And of course you know she couldn't elaborate
31:45
Speaker 1: on that, but come on now, and what is she
31:48
Speaker 1: supposed to do? Like, come on, you can't what if
31:51
Speaker 1: what if Zach isn't her husband or isn't her fiance?
31:55
Speaker 1: And like she said, she said Zack and like the
31:59
Speaker 1: other guy who she ends up with, it's like, what
32:02
Speaker 1: the heck? So here's my theory. Actually shared it with
32:05
Speaker 1: you a couple of weeks ago, and then now it's
32:07
Speaker 1: proving to me. So there's no way, there's no way
32:09
Speaker 1: on earth the show would allow her to like clearly
32:13
Speaker 1: speak to who she chose like that. That just doesn't happen.
32:16
Speaker 1: Like that's like the only rule you ever get when
32:18
Speaker 1: it comes to media is like, don't give the season away. Okay,
32:22
Speaker 1: well I'm not gonna give this season away. So here's
32:24
Speaker 1: my theory. Actually it's not. It's one that people are
32:27
Speaker 1: gonna be happy with me about. I don't know. I
32:30
Speaker 1: don't think she chooses anybody and in fact, I think
32:33
Speaker 1: that she had some great guys, uh and they all
32:36
Speaker 1: had to respect for each other. But I have a
32:38
Speaker 1: theory that something happens and she parts ways with the
32:42
Speaker 1: group without choosing someone because it just doesn't work out.
32:46
Speaker 1: That's my theory. Uh. And and I think this hints
32:49
Speaker 1: to it even more because I just don't see the
32:53
Speaker 1: show being like, yeah, Tashia, you can say that Zax
32:55
Speaker 1: has been material, like go for it even though you're
32:57
Speaker 1: with him, and there's no way, zero chance said if
33:00
Speaker 1: she's with somebody else, she would say Zach Like that
33:04
Speaker 1: would be awful, Like you can't do that, that would
33:07
Speaker 1: be awful. I mean, Ellen asked a fantastic question there.
33:10
Speaker 1: I can't believe she didn't she actually answered it, and
33:12
Speaker 1: which which does point to your theory and makes sense
33:15
Speaker 1: because I think that if um, I think she could
33:19
Speaker 1: have answered it with it's either him or him and
33:22
Speaker 1: just give it two options, right. Yeah, well, hey, I
33:26
Speaker 1: also know this when it comes to the big TV shows,
33:30
Speaker 1: g M A. Ellen Today's show, like there's no prep
33:33
Speaker 1: for the questions they're gonna ask. They they prep you
33:36
Speaker 1: and say, hey, like don't give the season away, but
33:38
Speaker 1: like there's no list of questions that say, hey, this
33:40
Speaker 1: is what Ellen is going to ask you today. There's
33:42
Speaker 1: not that at all, So like, maybe this is a
33:45
Speaker 1: mistake from Tasha when it comes to media. Maybe it's not,
33:49
Speaker 1: but it is a big headline to read into. We
33:51
