- 1:34Speaker 3: But I just love to see it.
- 1:36Speaker 2: I love to see love and I love to see
- 1:38Speaker 2: reality love crossover like this happen.
- 1:41Speaker 1: Yeah, they met. I forget Blake and Jenny and meant
- 1:44Speaker 1: on us like All Stars Shore. It was like a
- 1:46Speaker 1: one hit Wonder show.
- 1:48Speaker 3: Oh that makes sense.
- 1:50Speaker 1: And that's how they came together.
- 1:52Speaker 3: They have a podcast. Now, you know, I do know that.
- 1:55Speaker 1: I do know that you know everybody does. But I
- 1:59Speaker 1: still have a little confidence that we've been what eleven
- 2:01Speaker 1: years ago?
- 2:02Speaker 2: You are? You are OG in the podcasting world, that's
- 2:06Speaker 2: for sure.
- 2:07Speaker 1: Yeah, well I like to be again. I'm a trendsetter.
- 2:10Speaker 1: The That's how you know me.
- 2:11Speaker 2: That's all I've learned from working with you, Ben, is
- 2:13Speaker 2: that you are a trendsetter.
- 2:15Speaker 1: H That's that's what people know me. As this headline
- 2:18Speaker 1: confuses me. Oh yeah for a couple of reasons. One
- 2:22Speaker 1: is I kind of I'm just going to say it
- 2:25Speaker 1: and let you explain it to me. Colton Underwood says
- 2:28Speaker 1: he hooked up with married men before being labeled the
- 2:32Speaker 1: virgin bachelor. That's where I'm getting confused. So my question
- 2:38Speaker 1: is was he actually the virgin bachelor?
- 2:41Speaker 2: So I agree with you on this right because I
- 2:44Speaker 2: was like, WHOA like? But I saw that he previously
- 2:50Speaker 2: had said so this is a new interview he did.
- 2:53Speaker 2: But to go back to when he did in twenty
- 2:54Speaker 2: twenty one with Variety, he revealed that he had experimented
- 3:00Speaker 2: with men before appearing on The Bachelorette, he goes, when
- 3:04Speaker 2: I say hookups, not sex, culton clarified. I want to
- 3:09Speaker 2: make that very clear that I did not have sex
- 3:12Speaker 2: with a man prior to that. And I remember when
- 3:17Speaker 2: he had his whole coming out moment and he was
- 3:20Speaker 2: doing press. I remember a lot of extremely invasive questions
- 3:25Speaker 2: being asked to him and him being fairly open. This
- 3:31Speaker 2: is not verbatim, but saying things along the lines of
- 3:34Speaker 2: that he was looking forward to having an intimate moment
- 3:38Speaker 2: with a man that he had not done that before.
- 3:40Speaker 2: So hooking up is an interesting term to use. So
- 3:46Speaker 2: I don't know, you wouldn't say hooking up for kissing.
- 3:50Speaker 2: Let's just say that you wouldn't say hooking up for kissing.
- 3:54Speaker 3: But virgins. I say this as an.
- 3:57Speaker 2: Umbrella term because everybody knows that I've done a lot
- 4:02Speaker 2: of dating shows.
- 4:03Speaker 3: I've also been called in my previous jobs. This is
- 4:06Speaker 3: not a joke.
- 4:07Speaker 2: I've been called the virgin Whisperer because I've gotten quite
- 4:11Speaker 2: a few virgins on TV or somehow. People would get
- 4:15Speaker 2: booked for interviews with me, and the person who booked
- 4:18Speaker 2: them wouldn't know that the person was a virgin, and
- 4:20Speaker 2: I would find out that they were a virgin. So
- 4:23Speaker 2: I know that virgins live in this world of technicality,
- 4:27Speaker 2: so if it's not penetration, it doesn't count as losing
- 4:31Speaker 2: a virginity. So I think that's this weird kind of
- 4:35Speaker 2: gray area that we're talking.
- 4:37Speaker 3: About with Colton.
- 4:38Speaker 2: But he said on an appearance of the show We
- 4:43Speaker 2: Need to Talk on June sixteenth, he said, I was
- 4:46Speaker 2: very careful even when I was physically experimenting with guys
- 4:50Speaker 2: and trying to like figure myself out. I was so
- 4:54Speaker 2: careful on how I did everything to protect myself. I
- 4:59Speaker 2: would only up with married men, he explained, married straight men.
- 5:04Speaker 2: So that was sort of my rule that I would
- 5:06Speaker 2: never break. When I was in the closet that would
- 5:10Speaker 2: be the only time I would ever hook up with
- 5:12Speaker 2: men was if they were married, because they had more
- 5:16Speaker 2: to lose than I did. So if they tried to,
- 5:19Speaker 2: you know, ruin my career and my life for football,
- 5:23Speaker 2: they had a whole family that they'd be risking as well.
- 5:26Speaker 2: So it's a messed up thing to think through, but
- 5:29Speaker 2: like it was a form of self preservation.
- 5:32Speaker 3: It was just like a way to protect myself. No
- 5:37Speaker 3: comment I would. I was gonna say, let's move on
- 5:40Speaker 3: because it's a lot. It's a lot.
- 5:52Speaker 1: Onto different news. Joan Vassos and Amy Kaplan welcome new
- 5:58Speaker 1: grand babies.
- 6:00Speaker 3: To see it.
- 6:01Speaker 2: Obviously this obviously we work with Joan a lot, and
- 6:05Speaker 2: she was telling me all last week that she had,
- 6:08Speaker 2: you know, two grand babies on the way. So very
- 6:11Speaker 2: excited for her and can't wait to hear all about it.
- 6:14Speaker 2: But she said, two baby girls, two growing families, and

- 6:31Speaker 2: season of The Golden Bachelor. She was the one who's
- 6:35Speaker 2: got the famous twin daughters who are influencers, and this
- 6:42Speaker 2: was her first grandkid. Amy spoke exclusively with US Weekly
- 6:46Speaker 2: expressing how it felt to be a first time grandmother.
- 6:48Speaker 2: She said, I love him. He's precious. He's gorgeous. I

- 6:55Speaker 2: was looking straight at me and listening to me speak.
- 6:58Speaker 2: He's very alert, and she recalled that the first time
- 7:04Speaker 2: she met Jordan.
- 7:07Speaker 3: She was crying. So that's exciting both of them.
- 7:13Speaker 1: Grandma's Yeah, there's nothing like a grandparent. Jess's parents, my parents,
- 7:17Speaker 1: nothing like a grandparents love for a grandchild. It's fun
- 7:21Speaker 1: to watch. And my parents are out here currently and
- 7:26Speaker 1: they are chasing when you're around. It's also fun to
- 7:29Speaker 1: see her exhaust somebody other than Jess and I, oh yeah, Hey.
- 7:35Speaker 1: Caitlin Bristow is getting very candid recently. It feels like
- 7:39Speaker 1: she moved to New York City and said, hey, I'm
- 7:41Speaker 1: going to share it all. Got nothing to lose. Caylyn
- 7:44Speaker 1: Bristow gets canned about her plastic surgery mishap.
- 7:48Speaker 3: I mean, first of all, Caitlyn just is always being Caitlin.
- 7:51Speaker 3: This is why I love her.
- 7:53Speaker 2: Last year, she opened up about doing an upper blaff
- 7:56Speaker 2: surgery AKA that's when you do the eyelid lift. Along
- 8:00Speaker 2: with she did breast augmentation, and so she got candid
- 8:06Speaker 2: about kind of a surgery mishap. So she says, so
- 8:09Speaker 2: I did the upper bluff, just very minimal for more
- 8:13Speaker 2: like symmetry in my eyes.
- 8:15Speaker 3: It was so crazy, though.
- 8:17Speaker 2: So when I got my bluff, you know, you got
- 8:20Speaker 2: the stitches and all the things. And I just got
- 8:22Speaker 2: the stitches out and I had a few glasses of
- 8:24Speaker 2: wine and I went home and every time I go home,
- 8:28Speaker 2: I just die face first into the dogs. And my
- 8:33Speaker 2: one dog, Pino, scratched my eye and I was like Rocky.
- 8:40Speaker 3: My eyelid meaning Rocky Balboa. My eyelid was just hanging open.
- 8:48Speaker 3: It was December.
- 8:49Speaker 2: It was December twenty third, so right before Christmas. And
- 8:53Speaker 2: the guy that I'm dating was with me, and he
- 8:57Speaker 2: was like, you should have seen yourself. Oh, she says,
- 9:02Speaker 2: I don't smoke cigarettes. I was panicking. I had the
- 9:05Speaker 2: door open to my backyard smoking a cigarette. Somebody had
- 9:08Speaker 2: left there from a party. I was just smoking a cigarette,
- 9:11Speaker 2: drinking a glass of wine, and my eyelid hanging open.
- 9:14Speaker 2: Facetiming my doctor while she was at a Christmas party,
- 9:17Speaker 2: like what do I do? And the doctor's response was
- 9:22Speaker 2: lub it up and I'll see you in the morning.
