• 2:56
  Speaker 2: the bachelorette party as part of the package of the show, right,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I hear they really did. Oh okay, so tell me
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: about it, like what happened on the show.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Well, I can tell you what what I experienced while
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: we were doing it, but I don't know what they
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: what they brought through, okay, but what they edited. So
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: the Bachelette party we had, you know, the gift opening
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: we had. I remember the food. It was very good.

  Speaker 1: In there in California.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, okay, you know, in the gorgeous hills overlooking
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: the Overlookers and it was a beautiful place. So the
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: surprise was the Chip Anddale dancers. Although if we thought
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: about it, we realized, oh yeah, every Bachelerette party has
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Chip you know, the cop that comes and disrobes. And
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: so we had these dancers and they performed for us,
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: and then we had to engage with them. You had
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: to well, yeah, I remember.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I remember.

  Speaker 3: I was kind of sitting back, being a little conservative
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: and Parisa when the handlers is, Sondra, come on, get
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: in this now. Oh okay. So I picked up a
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: pot and kind of roped him in. And I'm not
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: sure what I did after that.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I have no because there was alcohol or you just.
• 4:09

• 5:19
  Speaker 3: from the rest of us. Okay, So I don't know
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: about her, but I know we were all surprised when

  Speaker 1: Oh same, yea whatever, same, same.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: We're all our own biggest critic, right, okay, So what
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: did you think of the wedding? Oh?
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: Gorgeous? Right, Oh my goodness. The venue. You know, they
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: did a hell of a job.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: They really did.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: It's beautiful.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: How did you feel being at your ex boyfriend's wedding
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: with one of your friends?
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: How was that?
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: For long past that?
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: I know, I assume that, but I just wonder if.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: You know, I don't know if I ever looked at
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Gary as a boyfriend, okay, boyfriend. You know, I looked
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: at him as a great guy and a great choice.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: You know, castingly did a great job with him, and
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: I looked at him as a friend. And now what
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: America didn't see on TV? Because you know, there's forty
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: three minutes a week of right Golden Bachelor. The chats
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: that he and I had, we had a lot of
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: good chats, laughter and all that, but no one ever
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: saw it.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, of course talked football, which is my favorite s
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: love it.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so but so it's great?
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah oh yeah, but isn't it funny like the world
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: of Bachelor Nation? Right? This kind of thing is normal, normal,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: quote unquote to us sitting in a wedding. You know,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: I've been to I think all of the televised wedding,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: sure you have, and and it in my world has
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: become kind of commonplace where I go to people's weddings too.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: I've spent very little time with or I don't even
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: know them. And to me, I don't know if you
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: feel this way yet or have ever, but I feel
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: like we're one big family, whether we're happy or dysfunction
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: l or whatever you want to call us, dysfunction exactly right.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: And so I love being there for my family, and
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: and it is odd like being I always feel bad
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: like being kind of close to the front because I'm
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: like the people that actually spend like do life with
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: them and their every day are not up here getting
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: you know, close. And I I love Gary and Teresa
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: and obviously wanted to be there to support them, but
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: I'm like, maybe these other people should like be closer upfront.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Do you know what I'm saying?
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Other people meaning like they're being his friend, their friends
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: and family, You know what I mean?
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: Well, yes I do. But here's the thing. The family's
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: been with them all their lives. Yeah, this is sort
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: of an adjunct family, a second family, so they're we're
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: not as important as brothers sister's children gradually, but we are.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: We are their next family. And it sounds like and
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: it makes me feel like we'll always be that, Like
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: you're coming back all the time. I you know, we're alumni. Yeah,
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: and I just assume that I'll see everyone again. Oh
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: for sure you are some venture a wedding, yes, something
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 10:42
