- 0:28Speaker 2: we have to of course go over headlines.
- 0:31Speaker 4: This is a really fun place to visit.
- 0:33Speaker 5: I've seen this office on video manytime, but never been
- 0:38Speaker 5: It is a beautiful spot out here.
- 0:41Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm here for Project Hope.
- 0:43Speaker 5: I haven't talked about Project Hope lot, but if you
- 0:45Speaker 5: don't know about Project Hope, check it out. It's one
- 0:47Speaker 5: of the leading healthcare and disastery leaf organizations in the
- 0:50Speaker 5: country right now. And I've gotten to be on the
- 0:53Speaker 5: board now for going on three and a half years,
- 0:57Speaker 5: and so I'm out here for board meetings. Stopped over
- 1:00Speaker 5: to have dinner with this incredible family and also talk
- 1:04Speaker 5: bachelor headlines and here they are. Gary Turner appears on
- 1:08Speaker 5: The k Kardashians find out what happened when he met
- 1:11Speaker 5: the famous family. Okay, I actually before we start here,
- 1:14Speaker 5: I saw some clips this week. Yeah, these are absolutely wild.
- 1:18Speaker 5: I'm talking about the clips of Chris Jenner talking about
- 1:21Speaker 5: Gary It. I don't feel like it's a good look
- 1:26Speaker 5: for him. But break down this and then I'll tell
- 1:28Speaker 5: you why I feel that way.
- 1:29Speaker 2: Okay, that's very interesting. So I knew like that this
- 1:34Speaker 2: was such a It's such cross promotion for Hulu because ABC, Disney,
- 1:39Speaker 2: Hulu they're all tied together. And for the past couple
- 1:43Speaker 2: of seasons of the Kardashians they have been They've been
- 1:46Speaker 2: always dropping the bachelor name. There's always like, oh this episode,
- 1:50Speaker 2: are you gonna be the Bachelorette?
- 1:52Speaker 3: Or Rob Mills that or you know, blah.
- 1:54Speaker 2: Blah blah, time out, time out? Is it because Chris
- 1:57Speaker 2: has always been a fan, as you know, because she
- 1:59Speaker 2: was on your apt show.
- 2:00Speaker 5: My question is who needs who more? The Bachelor needs
- 2:03Speaker 5: the Kardashians or the Kardashians need the Bachelor.
- 2:07Speaker 2: You know, I don't know Hulu ratings. I wonder who does.
- 2:10Speaker 2: It's probably pretty mutually beneficial, okay, and it's probably a
- 2:14Speaker 2: lot of the same crossover audience. Well, Anyway, I knew
- 2:17Speaker 2: from the beginning of this season that this is going
- 2:19Speaker 2: to be this silly kind of bit where Gary comes up.
- 2:24Speaker 2: This is I'm truly truly jealous about this. Gary went
- 2:28Speaker 2: over to Chris's house or was Kendall's house or one
- 2:31Speaker 2: of their houses to have a watch party with them. Like, Gary,
- 2:36Speaker 2: that is big for him, I think, so huge. Could
- 2:41Speaker 2: you imagine, like you don't even care about the Kardashian
- 2:44Speaker 2: you like going over to one of their houses.
- 2:46Speaker 5: I hosted a show with Chris, you hosted a show
- 2:50Speaker 5: with it and after show.
- 2:52Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's like her coming to the studio is
- 2:55Speaker 2: different than you walking into a Kardashian home.
- 2:57Speaker 4: Yeah, fair enough, Okay, Well, so what happens?
- 3:01Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, So the big teaser on this season that
- 3:04Speaker 2: the Kardashians I actually haven't watched this past episode I've
- 3:07Speaker 2: watched one and two, is that he comes over for
- 3:10Speaker 2: the watch party and Kendall sees on his phone Teresa's
- 3:14Speaker 2: name or a picture of her come up. I think
- 3:17Speaker 2: it was her name and his contacts. And she even
- 3:20Speaker 2: says she's like, what I saw it? You know, I've
- 3:24Speaker 2: not to just see this, And so Chris and Kendall.
- 3:28Speaker 2: He admitted to them, but they had to keep it
- 3:30Speaker 2: secret for of course the entirety.
- 3:33Speaker 4: Okay, so do you love the Kardashians as much as
- 3:36Speaker 4: you used to?
- 3:37Speaker 2: That's such an interesting question because my sister, my best friend,
- 3:42Speaker 2: and I were talking about that exact question two days ago.
- 3:46Speaker 2: I do, but they are feeling like they're over them.
- 3:51Speaker 5: Here's my point to when I started this whole conversation
- 3:53Speaker 5: with Gary about Gary was there's a clip where Chris
- 3:57Speaker 5: Jenner is talking about how Gary was eyeing her like.
- 4:01Speaker 5: There's a clip that was shown where she says, Gary
- 4:04Speaker 5: stopped looking at that meat that way. I'm marry Gary.
- 4:07Speaker 2: But she's not married, but she has been for ten years.
- 4:11Speaker 5: So I don't think it's a good look for Gary
- 4:13Speaker 5: because that's kind of been the.
- 4:16Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I really wish I had watched this
- 4:19Speaker 2: episode before chatting about this.
- 4:20Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 4:21Speaker 2: Anyways, so there's a lot to this. There's the fact
- 4:24Speaker 2: that she saw Theresa, there's the blirtiness, blirtiness, and then
- 4:28Speaker 2: there's this. So Chris and Kendall ask him hard questions.
- 4:33Speaker 2: They go, Okay, Gary, what happened in the fantasy suites?
- 4:36Speaker 2: And he got very candid, saying that I'm happy with
- 4:39Speaker 2: the overnights because if you spend five weeks getting to
- 4:42Speaker 2: know women, yet everything you say and do is recorded,
- 4:45Speaker 2: you're dying to get that overnight where you can ask
- 4:47Speaker 2: them questions without an audience. And then Chris and Kendall
- 4:52Speaker 2: also asked Gary to share what he learned about himself
- 4:56Speaker 2: while filming the show, and he said, I get emotional
- 5:00Speaker 2: so easily.
- 5:01Speaker 3: Every roast ceremony was difficult, awful. I was lost, so yeah.
- 5:09Speaker 3: And then they're like, you're just so smart, You're such
- 5:11Speaker 3: an emotionally intelligent guy. And he's like, I'm not that smart.
- 5:14Speaker 3: I'm just old. And they had dinner.
- 5:16Speaker 5: It was like crazy, well, okay to before we move
- 5:19Speaker 5: on to the next story.
- 5:21Speaker 4: I was always told that there was something that.
- 5:23Speaker 5: Happened in the Fantasy Suites that changed Gary's mind. That
- 5:27Speaker 5: was always kind of the behind the scenes story that
- 5:30Speaker 5: was being told to me. I don't know what that was,
- 5:33Speaker 5: and they never really showed it, but something happened in
- 5:35Speaker 5: the Fantasy Suites for Gary that changed his mind.
- 5:37Speaker 3: And den is not going to start rumors now.
- 5:40Speaker 5: I'll start all the rumors I've never gotten Beta Brush,
- 5:43Speaker 5: are you kidding me.
- 5:43Speaker 4: This listens on this podcast went way up. I'll start
- 5:47Speaker 4: any rumor.
- 5:48Speaker 2: Needed, but referring to that rumor that he that he
- 5:52Speaker 2: heard that Gary and Teresa's problems started when she landed
- 5:56Speaker 2: in in ye, you.
- 5:59Speaker 4: Didn't even know the name of my home states.
- 6:01Speaker 3: Like Indiana. I'm a out.
- 6:03Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 6:04Speaker 5: No, I'll just when I start a roomer, I'll just
- 6:06Speaker 5: preface it with this is a rumor, and then I'll
- 6:10Speaker 5: tell it all right, anyways, this is not a rumor.
- 6:12Speaker 5: Caitlin Bristow and Zach Clark recently spotted at wedding together,
- 6:15Speaker 5: this according to US Weekly.
- 6:18Speaker 3: So there's that.
- 6:22Speaker 4: Are they still okay? So well actually okay.
- 6:24Speaker 2: So I'm obviously not going to like text Caitlin and
- 6:26Speaker 2: be like, well, I could just be like, so, like,
- 6:30Speaker 2: how's it going.
- 6:31Speaker 3: With that rumored guy that you've been seeing?
- 6:35Speaker 4: Yeah, but then you couldn't share it here.
- 6:37Speaker 2: I would never share it here, right, But now we
- 6:40Speaker 2: have a little confirmation that we could talk about publicly
- 6:44Speaker 2: that we can share here.
- 6:45Speaker 3: They've been spotted at a wedding.
- 6:46Speaker 2: It was not this past weekend last weekend, and they
- 6:51Speaker 2: haven't really been seen out and about since. Like, there
- 6:55Speaker 2: is the New Year's Eve party, and then there was
- 6:58Speaker 2: them also over the winter at a New York City restaurant.
- 7:01Speaker 2: That's some girls they like snapped photos of and put
- 7:05Speaker 2: it on TikTok. But that's that's all we really have here.
- 7:10Speaker 5: Here's my here's my take on this to then transition in.
- 7:14Speaker 5: At this point, we have to assume that Zach Clark
- 7:16Speaker 5: and Caitlin Bristow are hanging out, like, I don't know
- 7:19Speaker 5: this personally. I've not been confirmed this personally. I will
- 7:22Speaker 5: say that I don't know this personally. She's never told
- 7:24Speaker 5: me that. But they have yet to hard launch soft law,
- 7:27Speaker 5: I mean soft launch each other.
- 7:30Speaker 2: Well, didn't Kaitlyn say in our podcast She's like, I'm
- 7:32Speaker 2: never going to launch anyone unless, like I know, I'm
- 7:35Speaker 2: about to get married to them like tomorrow.
- 7:37Speaker 4: Yeah, fair enough, good quote.
- 7:39Speaker 5: But we can assume here and say here, I will
- 7:41Speaker 5: put my name behind it, and Kitln Bristow can text
- 7:43Speaker 5: me again. Caitlin Bristow and Zach Clark are having some
- 7:46Speaker 5: type of either relationship or friendship or situationship.
- 7:53Speaker 4: They've been together too.
- 7:54Speaker 5: Many times in the last few months for them not
- 7:57Speaker 5: to be considered something. Of course, lace Morris opens up
- 8:11Speaker 5: about co parenting. Her quote is it's not fun, and
- 8:15Speaker 5: reveals that she's ready to date again. Now, Ashley, we
- 8:19Speaker 5: interviewed Lace. If you haven't listened to the episode, I
- 8:21Speaker 5: do think it's important to listen to because I do
- 8:24Speaker 5: think we get some nuggets in that interview with her
- 8:27Speaker 5: that lead to this conversation today.
- 8:29Speaker 3: Oh yeah, totally so.
- 8:30Speaker 2: She did a Q and A on Instagram, which is
- 8:32Speaker 2: basically a short form of the interview we did with her.
- 8:36Speaker 2: But she just confirms that it hasn't been great, you know,
- 8:43Speaker 2: not having a child with somebody that she's no longer with.
- 8:49Speaker 2: She said that she's doing very well physically and mentally now,
- 8:53Speaker 2: although of course as a new mom.
- 8:54Speaker 3: Some days are rough.
- 8:56Speaker 2: She said that she is not thinking about dating because Liam,
- 9:02Speaker 2: her son, wouldn't want her to, and.
- 9:04Speaker 4: She also because he knows.
- 9:06Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, she just she's just like ready to
- 9:13Speaker 2: move on. I think from the fact that like obviously
- 9:16Speaker 2: she's she's got more of a clean cut from the dad.
- 9:20Speaker 3: However, the dad is in his life.
- 9:22Speaker 2: It's not like he has abandoned the fan of the family,
- 9:25Speaker 2: just he's in the baby's life minimally, like.
- 9:29Speaker 3: You might see him like once a week. She's obviously
- 9:32Speaker 3: the primary, primary caregiver.
- 9:34Speaker 5: He feels importan at this point, it feels like something
- 9:36Speaker 5: that's that's obvious. Bachelor Nation's Rachel Lindsay regrets not getting
- 9:42Speaker 5: prenup agreement before marrying Season thirteen winner Brian absolutely a
- 9:50Speaker 5: mid messy divorce. Now Ashley again. I'll have a little
- 9:53Speaker 5: nugget here, Okay. I follow them both. Brian silent for years. Yeah,
- 10:01Speaker 5: he is all over Instagram? Now, oh really is post
- 10:04Speaker 5: amount has gone way?
- 10:05Speaker 3: I think I follow him?
- 10:07Speaker 4: Well, well, now I got a check. That's why are
- 10:10Speaker 4: you he is? He is out there doing his thing.
- 10:14Speaker 3: Let me see this, I think he Oh, I don't
- 10:20Speaker 3: follow him.
- 10:20Speaker 5: That's why doctor abs em downe there you know trademark
- 10:26Speaker 5: that that name?
- 10:27Speaker 3: Okay, okay, so interesting. All right.
- 10:29Speaker 2: So Natasha Parker has a new podcasts and she had
- 10:32Speaker 2: Rachel on and when talking about the ongoing divorce, which
- 10:36Speaker 2: she was pretty open about, Rachel says that a lot
- 10:39Speaker 2: of people are like, you're a lawyer, do you do
- 10:46Speaker 2: you have a pre nup? And she's like, I don't.
- 10:49Speaker 2: And then she goes on to explain the thought process
- 10:52Speaker 2: for her inaction and says that the reason that she
- 10:56Speaker 2: didn't that she didn't is because the place I'm in
- 11:00Speaker 2: now financially is totally different than when we got married.
- 11:05Speaker 2: We were more leveled then we weren't in California. That's
- 11:09Speaker 2: actually a really good point. She didn't really she didn't
- 11:11Speaker 2: really know the career opportunities that were like gonna come
- 11:14Speaker 2: at her very soon after the wedding.
- 11:16Speaker 5: Well, I mean, I think one of the big things too,
- 11:18Speaker 5: is I mean that's probably when why you get a prenup.
- 11:22Speaker 5: But with my with my wife and I, we would
- 11:26Speaker 5: never have gotten a prenup.
- 11:28Speaker 4: It would have been a really hard conversation.
- 11:30Speaker 5: I think, I think there's avenues to do it that
- 11:32Speaker 5: makes sense. But for Jess and I, like we started
- 11:36Speaker 5: this thing out and we're like, divorce is never an option,
- 11:39Speaker 5: but I know that in some relationships, like even when
- 11:41Speaker 5: it's not an option, it comes about.
- 11:43Speaker 2: Well, as she said, she goes, I didn't want it
- 11:45Speaker 2: to be a bigger issue, so we didn't have one
- 11:49Speaker 2: because she was like, at the time it wasn't an issue,
- 11:51Speaker 2: so she didn't want to like project an issue. But
- 11:54Speaker 2: then again, says hindsight is twenty twenty that in the
- 11:58Speaker 2: case that I knew what was going to come, of
- 12:00Speaker 2: course would have done it.
- 12:01Speaker 5: I just don't think we can shame her for not
- 12:03Speaker 5: getting a prenup because like, how would you have that conversation?
- 12:08Speaker 4: Like, I don't think we can be like, oh, you
- 12:10Speaker 4: should have gotten one. How do you not have one?
- 12:11Speaker 5: It's like, no, like that you never expect this to
- 12:15Speaker 5: be the case, And how in the world do you
- 12:17Speaker 5: ever bring it up? And then why do you even
- 12:19Speaker 5: think about it? If you're like I and this could
- 12:22Speaker 5: be and I would love to get so much hate
- 12:25Speaker 5: for this. But if you're entering into a marriage and
- 12:29Speaker 5: one of the first thoughts in your mind is unless
- 12:31Speaker 5: you're like a billion.
- 12:32Speaker 3: I know, unless you're like a Justin Bieber.
- 12:34Speaker 4: Exactly those cases, like one hundred percent. I get it.
- 12:37Speaker 4: I get you you have to protect yourself.
- 12:40Speaker 5: But if you're like, we need to get a prenup,
- 12:44Speaker 5: I feel like you're you are projecting.
- 12:46Speaker 3: I totally agree.
- 12:47Speaker 4: I don't know how you do.
- 12:48Speaker 2: I guess like entering it in yeah, like it's not
- 12:51Speaker 2: a you equal partnership.
- 12:54Speaker 5: If somebody could hate on me a little bit and
- 12:56Speaker 5: tell me how they do it and why they do
- 12:58Speaker 5: it outside of.
- 12:58Speaker 4: A family trust or a large sum of money.
- 13:01Speaker 5: Please let me know, because I've always been confused on
- 13:04Speaker 5: how in the world you'd go about this thought process,
- 13:06Speaker 5: and like, I don't have to worry about it. I
- 13:08Speaker 5: still see here today. I'm like, that's not a thing
- 13:10Speaker 5: that's going to go on in my life. However, I
- 13:12Speaker 5: do know for some people it is an unexpected change
- 13:15Speaker 5: of course, and a prenup would have been really nice.
- 13:17Speaker 2: I know, you know you talk to divorce lawyers, they
- 13:20Speaker 2: will always be like.
- 13:21Speaker 3: No, no, it's the most wonderful thing.
- 13:24Speaker 4: But it's just it's very You've talked to a lot
- 13:26Speaker 4: of divorce lawyers.
- 13:27Speaker 2: No, I'm thinking about this one time that I thought
- 13:30Speaker 2: I had this.
- 13:31Speaker 3: I didn't even know the woman that was on the
- 13:33Speaker 3: podcast with us.
- 13:35Speaker 2: It was I don't get a podcast and did was
- 13:38Speaker 2: the topic may have just been prenups and our producer
- 13:42Speaker 2: was like, yeah, I'll get you a really great like
- 13:44Speaker 2: female lawyer for this lo and behold didn't know it
- 13:49Speaker 2: was Kim Kardashian's like lawyer, and she used her for
- 13:53Speaker 2: her divorce with Kanye like she's that big of a
- 13:56Speaker 2: deal and she's like literally could put prenup on like
- 13:59Speaker 2: her life in split. She loves them so much.
- 14:02Speaker 4: Oh goodness. Yeah, okay, well that's enough of that.
- 14:06Speaker 5: Hey, but Natasha Parker shout out to her starting a
- 14:08Speaker 5: new podcast, great friend of this show and really cool
- 14:13Speaker 5: part of Bachelor Nation. I got to hang out with
- 14:15Speaker 5: her at the Nick Natalie wedding and.
- 14:17Speaker 2: It was Yes, she's so great and we really have
- 14:21Speaker 2: to check in on her eye.
- 14:23Speaker 4: That's a good point.
- 14:23Speaker 5: She got shot in the eye with aim with an
- 14:25Speaker 5: air blower, which she must be fine.
- 14:27Speaker 3: Yeah, she's obviously fine.
- 14:28Speaker 4: All right, big headline here, This is a big.
- 14:31Speaker 2: Headline and how man we happy to get this person
- 14:34Speaker 2: on the podcast?
- 14:35Speaker 5: Rachel Nance and John Henry Spurlock spark dating rumors and
- 14:42Speaker 5: Bachelor Nation reacts in a loud way.
- 14:46Speaker 2: This made me me seeing these pictures.
- 14:48Speaker 3: It made me like, oh, this.
- 14:50Speaker 2: Is why Paradise needed to happen, because now this is
- 14:53Speaker 2: happening off camera. So Rachel, as we know from Joey season,
- 14:57Speaker 2: and John Henry, who is just on our podcast, talk
- 15:00Speaker 2: about his breakup with Cat we were they're both spotted
- 15:04Speaker 2: together and on what appears to be a date night,
- 15:08Speaker 2: looked like it was just the two of them. Rachel
- 15:10Speaker 2: took to instit TikTok to share a video with John
- 15:14Speaker 2: Henry as they enjoyed what they this what may have
- 15:18Speaker 2: been a romantic dinner on the water in her home
- 15:21Speaker 2: state of Hawaii. In the video, Rachel lip syncs over
- 15:26Speaker 2: a voiceover, you know, like a TikTok voiceover, and says
- 15:29Speaker 2: how much do I owe you? To which John responds
- 15:32Speaker 2: it's okay, it's on the house, and Rachel ends with
- 15:36Speaker 2: really and she captured the video. My wallet was not
- 15:40Speaker 2: harmed in the making of this video. So they're definitely
- 15:42Speaker 2: alluding to it being a date because he like picked
- 15:44Speaker 2: up the tab soon the video soon, I know, right
- 15:51Speaker 2: soon The video went viral, raking.
- 15:52Speaker 3: In millions and millions of views.
- 15:56Speaker 2: Fans really excited daisies, commenting yo with hearts, So is
- 16:02Speaker 2: this a hard Fans are like, is this a hard launch?
- 16:04Speaker 3: We are still here for this.
- 16:06Speaker 2: We don't know, but we do know something that I
- 16:09Speaker 2: do think that we can say now, yea, he was
- 16:12Speaker 2: going to.
- 16:12Speaker 3: Go and work in Hawaii.
- 16:14Speaker 4: I think I think he announced it.
- 16:16Speaker 5: Yeah, he announced that he's working in Hawaii, and so
- 16:20Speaker 5: this makes sense.
- 16:22Speaker 4: She lives there, well.
- 16:24Speaker 2: She lived in Maine, remember, but her family's from Hawaii,
- 16:28Speaker 2: like that's her home base. You know, she's like a
- 16:31Speaker 2: nurse that she's travel I don't think she's a traveling nurse.
- 16:33Speaker 2: But she had moved her work and she was living
- 16:36Speaker 2: in Maine, which I was like, Rachel, that seems random.
- 16:39Speaker 3: You should move back to Hawaii.
- 16:41Speaker 4: You cannot get farther from.
- 16:42Speaker 2: Each other with un I'm thinking, you know, she was
- 16:48Speaker 2: home or whatever, and maybe you know, Hawaii's like got
- 16:52Speaker 2: so many islands like that, I think that they probably
- 16:54Speaker 2: had to take some effort to see each other.
- 16:57Speaker 5: I'm going to say it here, John Henry and Rachel
- 17:00Speaker 5: nance you're on watch. We're looking for a good, solid,
- 17:05Speaker 5: hard launch that's not so freaking mysterious. But I'll say here,
