• 4:24
  Speaker 5: of just.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Tell story.
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: I know someone had done and they ranked, like People
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: magazine or something did a ranking of all the people
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: still together, and Trista, you were obviously number one, and
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: then I think Jason and Molly are two, and now
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: Blake and I are number three.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: I was like, what for the third longer.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Awesome, that is awesome.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: And you've been married for how long?
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: This summer will be twelve years? So thirteen years bachelor pad.
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: Because we got married a year after we met.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it was like, oh, hello, perfect stranger. Sure you're
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: all marry you. We all know that deal. But hey
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: it worked out.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd say, so you got past the seven year itch,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: and now you're well past the seven year age.
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: Right, looks like, isn't it like the seven year? Then
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: the twelve year is the hard year too? So were
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: we say if they say, if you can make it
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: by year twelve, you're you're pretty good old Yeah, you're goal.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well not yet. I still got a month.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: I'll check in with you in months.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: We still got time. Yeah.
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So yeah, Blake and I met on the show
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: and then got married a year later. And then the
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: day we got married, we started trying for children. You're like,
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: we were I think twenty nine when we got married,
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: so we're like, let's start having kids, and it didn't work,
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: so we try everything, and then you know, a couple
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: of years in they were like, all right, I guess
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: we'll start seeing a fertility specialist and figuring this out,
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: and I mean we I did IVF several times, didn't work.
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: We ended up getting a surrogate and she did get pregnant,
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: but we lost that baby, and it was I'm grateful
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: for everything that happened in the time.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: It was hard.
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: So I always encourage people who are going through infertility.
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: I was like, you know what, it is all worth
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: it in the end. It doesn't matter how you get
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: your babies.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: It is worth it. So our surrogate was like cried.
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: With us and grieved with us on that and she
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: was like, I have to do this again. I was like, no, no, no,
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: We're not putting you through this again. She was like, no,
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: I need to do this again for you guys.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: And so we did it again. She got pregnant again,
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: and then we lost that baby again.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: And like.
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: Blake was not on the adoption train at this point.
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: I knew that that was I was like, I'm ready,
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: but he wasn't.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: And then I.
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: Think after our we lost that second baby, he was like,
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: bottom line is I want a family and I'll do
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: anything that it takes to get a family.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: So we ended up adopting Poppy seven years into infertility.
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: Oh my goodness, I didn't realize it was that long.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: Seven years.
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: We tried, like we went, I mean, we did everything
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: possible in those seven years, so and it was a
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: very long time. And then people all the time ask
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: how we got her name Poppy. And then there was
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: an old poem from World War two about how after
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: the war there was like the barren battlefields and nothing
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: would grow in these barren battlefields. They were just empty
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: for so long, and then one day poppy started growing
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: on them, and I was like, these are poppy that
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: grew on our barren battlefield.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm gonna cry.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: I got you.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I love that. And I was thinking of Princess Poppy
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: from the Trolls movie.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: No excellent movie.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Well, I was gonna say, literally my favorite character on
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: any cartoon movie, such.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: A good movie.
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: I know people all the time, but now she watches
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: the Trolls movie and was like, she's just like me, you.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Know, awesome, yes, of course, of course.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Such an incredible story of just persistence and faith and gosh, heartbreak.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: You know, I got to say too.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, I know so many people have struggled with infertility,
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: and a lot of couples don't make it through that
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: because it becomes the blame game and this kind of
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: weird challenge for the for couples to do that, and
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: for you, like I know you were teasing, You're like, hi, person, I've.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Never met you, hardly met. I'm going to marry you.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: But I think it's it says so much about you guys,
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: relationship and about each of your character that you you
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: you came out of that stronger than you went into it,
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: and you know, I just wow, I just love I
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: love your story.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't love all the pain, the pain
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: and heartache, I know that.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Part, but it's worth it.
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: It was so worth it to go through what I
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: went through to have my children that I have.
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: Now I can't imagine my life about them. So I'm
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: grateful for the infertility.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it.
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: It's a strange perspective to look at looking back at
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: it and like people that are going through it now,
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: I'm like, if there's a will, there's a way. If
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: you want children, you can have them. You just have to,
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: you know, find out which way you get them. Well.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: The adoption process is hard too, Yeah, I mean is it?
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: The adoption process also pretty challenging I mean, it takes
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: time and it's rough.
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: And it's heartbreaking, and Poppies a birth mom wrote me
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: through Instagram, surprisingly, and she contacted me through Instagram and
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: I you know, talked to her and then after she
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: was born, it was it was so bittersweet because you
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: like wanted this for so long, But then I felt
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: so guilty about like I felt like I took a
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: baby away from their mother. I was like, this is
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: an awful feeling. I was like, I'm so afraid to
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: love you because I just I'm like, I'm breaking someone
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: else's heart right now. And I know that was her
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: decision and everything, but it was still such a bittersweet feeling.
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: But I'm so close with her birth mom now that
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: I'm like, yes, I couldn't have asked for a better
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: relationship with her. She's wonderful. We talk all the time,
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: we send pictures back and forth. So funny, that's wonderful.
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: Does Poppy know her m We go visit her like
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: once a year, we'll see her, and yeah, it's just
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: it's a wonderful relationship. But I'm thankful for it that
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: we have that, because you know, I feel like there's
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: gonna be some hard questions that she's gonna.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Have growing up.
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: And I never wanted to be hard for her to
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: be able to be like.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Oh can I go talk to her?
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: Or you know, I just I wanted to always be normal.
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: And she knows, like she knows that she grew in
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: her belly. She always tells people that I grew in
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: She's like, I grew in my mommy's heart, not her tummy.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: God, I love her.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: Yes, she's wonderful. I can hear her upstairs.
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: She's supposed to be in bed, but she's jumping around.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: How old? How old is Poppy?
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: She's four and a half. Now what about Knox?
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Does do you same thing with like the birth mom,
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: the biological mom? Do you have that kind of relationship?
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: We talk and not as clothes, but I honestly, Knox
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: is only one now, so I've had time to develop
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: a relationship with Poppy's birth mom. But so Knox's birth mom,
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: she's in Texas and we haven't gone out to Texas yet,
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: but eventually we will. And but yeah, it's just like
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: completely she wrote me on so it's like it's weird.
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: Way, Yeah, I was like I got both of my
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: children from social media.
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: Which is wonderful because they say like ninety percent of
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: adoptions or through like through social media.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Now, no way, Yeah, so how does it work? Like,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: I'm really curious because someone could reach out to you,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: but don't you have to go through an adoption agency
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: or do you work out like an agreement or how
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: does that all work?
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: Not necessarily through an agency. We used one with Knox
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: that was like a local one here. But you can
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: go through lawyers if like, that's what we did because.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: We had already.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: You really go through an agency to be matched up.
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: And then both of them wrote me through social media,
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: so I could have done both with lawyers, but we
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: had an agency already that we were signed up with,
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: so we're like, well, just let them handle everything.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: But the lawyers did.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Poppy, so oh.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: Hi, Pobby, do you want to come and say hello,
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: y hi Poppy? O.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: My god, that little mermaid on your on your Jammy's
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: This is the right way I acting. We put the
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: wrong way when I was three.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: That's all nice, but now you do it the right way.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the right wing? Yeah, your favorite? Yeah?
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: Is that what you're watching?
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Ups?
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Heirs? H Hey have you seen the pictures of your mom?
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Dressed up as Cinderella and Elsa and you remember when
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: I used to be a princess.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, oh I kissed you.

  Speaker 2: Okay, will you go finish your movie. I love Poppy Bye.

  Speaker 1: Poppy's so cute. Oh my god, is so cute.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: I'm so glad she got I.
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: Really think, like the weirdest thing to think, Like, I
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: feel like she's my soulmates.
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: In the weirdest way.
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: Like one night I was like praying and I was like, God,
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: please let my soul and her soul be together in the.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Next lifetime because I just love so much.
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: And then the next day she looked at me randomly
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: and goes, Mommy, do you know that we used to
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: be sisters before this No she didn't, and I was like,
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: what she's like before this life we were sisters. And
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: then my sister calls me and goes, sounds like you
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: prayed that in your last lifetime.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Was like, oh my gosh, he.
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: Talks to angels all the time, just hanging around my house.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Just I mean, she had.

  Speaker 5: and I encourage, Oh yeah, I'm super spiritual.

  Speaker 5: with saying hi, and he's like, hey, how did Blake

• 20:29
  Speaker 4: See you a few times, I know.
• 20:31

  Speaker 5: I swear my brain I need to go to Blake.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: Wasn't there we had.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: I had already kicked Blake off because Michael and I
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: were partners. Oh my gosh, yes, you're bringing it back
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: to me.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Have you talked to it?
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: So I got asked to do Michael and I had
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: not spoken in like ten years after that, okay, And
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: it's like was eating me alive. After the finale every
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: single day, I was like, I feel so bad. All
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: this went down, like I I don't know, I broke
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: his heart and then moved away and it was engaged
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: and I'm like and then I wasn't able to be like, hey,
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: how you doing because I'm like, I have.
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: To respect Blake. This is awkward. I don't want anyway.
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: So we got asked to do a podcast together, and
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: like reconcile on the body.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: I feel like if I remember this, I do remember
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: seeing it. This was like a couple of years ago,
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: a year or two ago. It was last year, okay, yeah,
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: and so like we it was great. It was like
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: I was like, I'm supposed to hard. He was like,
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: it's okay, Holly, life happened the way it was supposed
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: to happen.
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: I'm like, I know, it's been needy, me alive, Like
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: I've had this burden for so long, and it was
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: just really nice to like talk to him and catch
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: up and stuff.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: So all of a sudden, awesome. Yeah.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: I bet. I bet that's hard, because I do remember
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: with the finale where I didn't Harrison say like, oh,
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: so does Michael know about you and Blake or something
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: like that.
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: Well, Blake had called the producers and said, I don't
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: want to rub this engagement in Michael's space.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: I don't want to air.
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: The engagement video while he's sitting there watching it.
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: And I what I should have done was call Michael
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: and be like, hey, I'm engaged. But it was like
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: Blake and I had just gotten engaged. It was so
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: awkward to be like, let me call my ex right
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: now I'm engaged.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Hey, let's call my ex boyfriend or my ex fiancee.
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: And so I was like, oh, I go. I was like,
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: I'll just talk to him when I get there. Before
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: we go on stage. As soon as we pull in,
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: they take our phones away, and I was like, oh no.
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: So the first time I see him is on stage
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: and I was like, oh my gosh.
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: And they had.
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: Aired the engagement video and then brought Michael and I
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: out on stage and Chris Harrison was like, congratulations Holly,
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: and I was like, and Michael's like and then he goes, Michael,
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: do you know and he was like, yeah, I heard
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: Holly's moving to South Carolina and he was like no,
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: And then everybody looks at me and I was like, oh.
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: It was so powerful.
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but Blake was like made the producers sign things
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: that said we will not air this in front of Michael,
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: we won't rub it in a space, all these things.
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: But then they like found a loophole by airing it
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: and then bringing Michael out.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Of course, of course drama, right.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: They are the master manipulators, those people.
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the hate mail that I got like.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: That, oh well, at least you didn't have social or
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: did you have social media? Back then?
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: There was there was Facebook, but there wasn't Instagram.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, got it.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we Tristiaan and I have often said we got
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: pretty lucky during that time that when we did the
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: show because there was no social media. It was bad
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: enough that the chat rooms would shred us the beds,
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: but it wasn't as easy awful.
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: I didn't know about them until I was off the
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: show and people were like, don't go on and read them.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: I was like, and I'd like, read this stuff about me?
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: I'm like, what don't they even talking?
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: There's making things up about my life.
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: I'm like, I know somebody had written like oh someone
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: clearly like never worked a day in or life and
• 24:30

• 24:34
  Speaker 5: just I came out of the womb, I know. I
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: was like, why are people just making things up about me?

  Speaker 5: we just talked for like twenty minutes. And then I
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: was like telling him about how Blake and I were
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: on Bachelor Pad and I was like, Bachelor Pad was
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: what was before Bachelor Paradise.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: People went on to win money.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: Like and then.
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: Happened to propose in the end, and they were probably like,
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: we should probably do another show where people don't We
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: don't give anybody money.
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: We just get rings at the end.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: So I think I think in Paradise started.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: When you when you walked away with a sack of cash.
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: They're like, we're going to figure out how to make
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: this cheaper.
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: I want to way with the ring and the money.
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: I really am when we're our chicken dinner and we're
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: the only couple to ever we're the only married couple
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: from Bachelor Pad, So that's awesome.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: It's amazing. It's hard to be that it's been that long.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: I feel like they're going to bring it back. I
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: actually wonder like some kind of I want to challenge
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: and it's like Big Brother people and MTV people and
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: you know all of all kinds of show people, and
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: I feel like they definitely, like I love the challenge
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: part of it, the like physical stuff, and they don't
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: have anything like that in the Bachelor world, so they
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: definitely should. I think it would be really fun. I
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: loved Bachelor Pad.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: I thought I did too, so.

  Speaker 5: Because he is very type A and has to have
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: like if I'm complaining about something, he'll be like, here,
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: here's this way you gotta do.
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: But I don't. I don't want that. I just I
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: need to just get off of my test and let
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: him listen.
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: Yes, I'm a fixer too, so it was a tough
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: adjustment for me to to just listen, but I try
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: my best. Now, Like when when Canyon's gone off, I'll
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: just go okay, and then like an hour later, she'll go,
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, are.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: You even listening? And I'm like, well, yeah, but you
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: don't want me to tell you what I would do.
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is great advice that I recently heard about teenagers,
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: and it goes for relationships too. But as your kids
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: get older, I'm sure you could use this even you know,
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: coming up soon is just do you need a hug
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: or do you need help?
• 43:06
  Speaker 9: For you say it all the time, right, that's really
• 43:10
  Speaker 9: good anytime else crying and like having a meltdown, I
• 43:15
  Speaker 9: get down on my knees and I open my arms
• 43:17
  Speaker 9: and I say do you need a hug?
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: And she will, I.
• 43:19
  Speaker 5: Would say ninety five percent of the time, just come
• 43:22
  Speaker 5: into my arms.
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: And then like I'll be like, let's let's take some
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: breath together, and so we'll like breathe together.
• 43:29
  Speaker 5: And I mean, it's all they want is like a
• 43:31
  Speaker 5: connection somehow.
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: You know. I'm like, she doesn't need to talk, she
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: just wants a hug.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's so sweet. I need to do that.
• 43:40
  Speaker 5: You are.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: I wanted to be one for so long? So well
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: me too, Really, why do I really just spend the
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: struggle for as long? Just a couple of years for me.
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: But I felt the same way. But once you have
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: the babies in hand, like I feel.
• 43:55
  Speaker 5: Like I appreciate all, like the really little things way more.
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: I remember folding her laundry one time and I'm.
• 44:02
  Speaker 5: Just bawling my eyes out because i was like, I
• 44:04
  Speaker 5: couldn't wait to fold baby clothes. And I'm like, I'm
• 44:08
  Speaker 5: doing my laundry. Other people would be like, oh, I'm
• 44:10
  Speaker 5: doing my laundry, but I'm like, yeah, I get to
• 44:13
  Speaker 5: fold baby clothes, Like this is incredible. So I always
• 44:17
  Speaker 5: says sweet, all the little things.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I kind of.
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: Think I'm like that too, because I'm an older dad.
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: You know, I didn't we didn't have our first child.
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: I was forty seven, almost forty eight, and so, you know,
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: from a dad perspective, I was kind of getting up there.
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: And I feel that way sometimes too, Like I'll see
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: some stuff and my and my buddies will be like.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: Well, hey, we're all gonna go you know, golf, We're

• 44:43
  Speaker 3: don't want to do those things.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: It's just that I'm trying to remember, you know.
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: I see it a little bit differently now where I'm like,
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: I can always go golfing, you know, but he needs
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: me right now and.
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: We like that.
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: To my husband, it does not have that.
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: Oh well, he's much younger than me.
• 45:04

• 45:07
  Speaker 2: whole week.
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: Okay, can't be grudge that. That's amazing. I would have
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: been with him if I had.
• 45:12
  Speaker 5: So I went to Cabo for four days and then
• 45:14
  Speaker 5: I came home and he went to the Masters.
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: This whole week.
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: So I'm like, amazing in the night chips in the night.
• 45:22
  Speaker 5: Literally, I didn't see him because I got delayed and

  Speaker 5: didn't get home in time. So I had to have
• 45:27
  Speaker 5: a baby come be with the kids until I can
• 45:29

• 46:26
  Speaker 5: I was like somebody, I'm like friends with some of
• 46:29
  Speaker 5: the producers and stuff on Facebook and everyone's posting all
• 46:33
  Speaker 5: these behind the scenes pictures from the Golden bachlun and
• 46:35
  Speaker 5: I was like, hey, guys, I think you uh forgot
• 46:39
  Speaker 5: over here.
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: Another success story not in that invited.
• 46:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we got invited to Jade Tanner's wedding, which I
• 46:45
  Speaker 5: think was maybe one of the last ones, but there
• 46:48
  Speaker 5: was a huge snowstorm that day all the flights got canceled,
• 46:52
  Speaker 5: so we didn't end up making it to that.
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: So I was like, they think that we hate them, Well,
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: Blake still don't hate but.
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: I'm good they think that we hate him, and they're right. Ham.
• 47:05
  Speaker 5: You know, Blake held onto the anger for a long
• 47:08
  Speaker 5: time after what they did to Michael, So yeah, yeah.
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: That's nice of him though, to have that kind of
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: you know, I think that's actually a redeeming quality, you know.
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's protective of his friend, I get it.
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah that's tough.
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: Even though he you know, married his friend's ex. Yeah.
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: No, they were never friends. So they were friends, but Blake.
• 47:35
  Speaker 5: Got made out to be the villain on Bachelor Pad,
• 47:37
  Speaker 5: which we don't know editing, and Blake is just very blunt,
• 47:42
  Speaker 5: and so they took that bluntness and ran with it.
• 47:48
  Speaker 5: I was like, oh, this is not going to go
• 47:49
  Speaker 5: well for you, and then it made me look like,
• 47:51
  Speaker 5: oh I left America's sweetheart guy and then went with
• 47:54
  Speaker 5: this awful man.
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: Right. Totally was like this.
• 47:59
  Speaker 5: Is awful, But everyone who meets him was like, oh
• 48:01
  Speaker 5: my god, Blake is so nice.
• 48:03
  Speaker 4: So I'm like, yeah he is. It was the show, Yeah, yes, exactly.
• 48:14
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: Chocolate socks. Why do you tell everyone what it's about
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: and where they can get it?
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: They can just message me and get it.
• 48:24
  Speaker 5: It's a children's a book about my two favorite things,
• 48:28
  Speaker 5: chocolate and socks. And I think it was I was
• 48:33
  Speaker 5: dating a guy way back in the day when I
• 48:35
  Speaker 5: lived in LA and he for six month anniversary got
• 48:39
  Speaker 5: me a box of chocolates and a pack of socks,
• 48:41
  Speaker 5: and he was like and he gave it to me,
• 48:43
  Speaker 5: and I was so excited because I love both of
• 48:45
  Speaker 5: those and I was like, and.
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: I thought, that's the cutest thing for a book, and
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: so I just grabbed my.
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: Laptop and I started writing.
• 48:52
  Speaker 5: And then the rest is history.
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: I've written a ton of books. I just never published
• 48:57
  Speaker 4: the rest of them. I just was the book.
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: I was like, you should something.
• 49:03
  Speaker 5: You just told me about digital books like that you
• 49:07
  Speaker 5: could download for kids to read, and I was like, oh,
• 49:09
  Speaker 5: I should.
• 49:10
  Speaker 4: Just make them all digital books from here on. I
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: want to have them now that I'm like, I have
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: rooms of books here.
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: So that's that's a really good idea to do a
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: digital book.
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: But you don't have rooms of books of books that
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: you wrote and your kids can like, say, my mom
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: wrote this book.
• 49:30
  Speaker 4: You know it is sweet to read.
• 49:32
  Speaker 5: Chocolate Talks to Poppy And at the end she's like,
• 49:35
  Speaker 5: this is your picture, mom, And I was like, I
• 49:36
  Speaker 5: know it's bad.
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: I didn't have a lot of makeup on it. My
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: eyebrows were tragic in the picture. But yeah, go after.
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: The puhop was taken, Okay, Okay, Well, then that's even
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: more motivation to write another one.
• 49:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that part of me is like wants to just
• 49:56
  Speaker 5: draw some eyebrows on.
• 49:57
  Speaker 4: The picture.
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: Every book.
• 50:02
  Speaker 5: Great friend that I had at the time that got me,
• 50:05
  Speaker 5: that made me write chocolate Socks. He randomly reached out
• 50:09
  Speaker 5: to me a few months ago. I'm not going to
• 50:12
  Speaker 5: say his name because he's well known as well. And
• 50:14
  Speaker 5: he reached out and said, I just want to thank
• 50:17
  Speaker 5: you for being such a joyful person.
• 50:22
  Speaker 4: And he was like, not a lot of people wake
• 50:24
  Speaker 4: up happy.
• 50:26
  Speaker 5: And he was like, you woke up happy every single day,
• 50:29
  Speaker 5: and you like you were just so full of joy
• 50:32
  Speaker 5: and happiness, and like you made we had such a
• 50:35
  Speaker 5: wonderful relationship and I just want to say thank you
• 50:37
  Speaker 5: for that.
• 50:37
  Speaker 4: And I was just like wow, hey, wow, that was
• 50:41
  Speaker 4: It was.
• 50:41
  Speaker 5: Just random and it was so nice and I was
• 50:43
  Speaker 5: kind here and I was like, oh, because but if
• 50:46
  Speaker 5: we wouldn't have broken up, the wave broke up.
• 50:49
  Speaker 4: My whole life stemmed from our breakup. So it was
• 50:52
  Speaker 4: like such a thing because.
• 50:54
  Speaker 5: We got we broke up and three weeks later, I
• 50:59
  Speaker 5: got asked to go.
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: On The Bachelor. Oh my gosh.
• 51:02
  Speaker 5: So I always like look back at my life and
• 51:05
  Speaker 5: I'm like, oh, I thought I was going to marry
• 51:07
  Speaker 5: this guy.
• 51:07
  Speaker 4: I was like, very much in love with him, and
• 51:09
  Speaker 4: then we it was a.
• 51:11
  Speaker 5: A very tragic, hard breakup, like immediate breakup, and I
• 51:15
  Speaker 5: was like, Okay, it wasn't like, oh, you know, let's
• 51:19
  Speaker 5: take a break, because I would have went back to him,
• 51:21
  Speaker 5: just like not good thing happened and we broke up
• 51:25
  Speaker 5: like quick. And so I was walking down the street
• 51:29
  Speaker 5: three weeks later and someone came up to me and said,
• 51:31
  Speaker 5: have you seen The Bachelor before?
• 51:33
  Speaker 4: And I was like, yeah, I know, you know, and
• 51:36
  Speaker 4: they said, do you want to be on it?
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: And I was like sure.
• 51:43
  Speaker 5: At this point, I was like I have nothing left
• 51:45
  Speaker 5: to lose. I was still very heartbroken, and I thought,
• 51:48
  Speaker 5: you know what, this will help me get my mind
• 51:49
  Speaker 5: off of this.
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and.
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: I go on the show.
• 51:55
  Speaker 5: I didn't think it was like I got asked to
• 51:57
  Speaker 5: be on The Bachelor on a Tuesday, and by the
• 51:59
  Speaker 5: fall following Tuesday, I was through night one moved into
• 52:02
  Speaker 5: the house.
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: So it was it happened really fast.
• 52:06
  Speaker 5: And so I was like moved in and then I
• 52:09
  Speaker 5: didn't believe I was on the show still because like
• 52:11
  Speaker 5: that was the time of like Joe Millionaire was on
• 52:13
  Speaker 5: and I was like, ah, they tricked all those girls
• 52:18
  Speaker 5: for that. So I'm in the house and I'm like,
• 52:22
  Speaker 5: this isn't real. And then Chris Harrison walked in with
• 52:24
  Speaker 5: like the first Impression Rods.
• 52:25
  Speaker 4: I was like, oh, I'm on the bed. Oh my god,
• 52:31
  Speaker 4: this is real.
• 52:33
  Speaker 5: But the weird thing is I so Chris had another
• 52:37
  Speaker 5: job and worked with my ex boyfriend that I just
• 52:41
  Speaker 5: and I saw Chris and I was like, I hope
• 52:44
  Speaker 5: he does not know.
• 52:47
  Speaker 4: Remember this.
• 52:50
  Speaker 5: So I was like wow, anyway, all I'm so grateful
• 52:53
  Speaker 5: because because I went on the show, I ended up
• 52:57
  Speaker 5: like beating Michael and you know, engaged, and then when
• 53:01
  Speaker 5: the engagement broke up, they asked us both to go
• 53:03
  Speaker 5: on Bachelor Pad and then because of that, I'm at
