  Speaker 1: get the sexy voice? I get it on occasion. Yeah,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: I don't have to ask. It's I get the good
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: morning sexy voice every morning. So that's a nice way
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: to rip every morning. So you guys were nice enough
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: to wake up at five thirty in the morning. We
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: left it five from San Diego to beat the l
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: A traffic. You guys, it's supposed to it's two and
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: a half hours right from San Diego to the l A,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: but it always takes about four about for those last
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: fifty miles are the worst. I'll get Jack because you're like,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: we got eleven miles to go awesome. Yeah, absolutely, Like
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: I'm so confused. I know exactly what eleven miles we're
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: talking about. Before we get into it with you guys,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: we have Blake Hurtsman on the line. Are you guys
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: fart to Blake. You know Blake? Yeah, okay, great, Well
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: he just had a blind date at jingle Ball Kisses
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: jingle Ball here like, Hi, I hear you giggling. I'm
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: so sorry I didn't run into a jingle Ball. That
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: was so sad. You guys were on the other podium,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: like on the other side of seats. I know. I
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: was trying to wait for you guys to the red carpet,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: but I just starting to miss the concert and I
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: didn't want you want to take the concert, so I
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: had to take her. M yeah, I didn't. I don't
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: want your date to miss the concert either. So the
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: date was to help um what was it? What was
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: it was? Bench? It was Umanity and Hope. Yeah, Humanity
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: and Hope. So benefit Humanity and Hope. Are you allowed
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: to tell us how much this girl bid so that
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: she would get the date with you to jingle Ball.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: There was money involved, yea, So it was a charity,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: it was a fundraiser. Blake's value has got to be high. Well,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I think Ben, I think Ben he raised five thousand
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: or something for his blood day. Really, yeah, think I
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: think that's the overestimate. Is it? Like, how much did
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: you get how much did you risk? So I don't
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: know the exact number, but I know it's over four k.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I think it was like it was like that is
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: very respectable, like that's amazing, thank you, thank you. So
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: I was a little worried. It ran two thousand up
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: until the last twenty minutes and then there were so
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: many bits there at the end that it actually shut
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: down the web page. So that that made me feel
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: pretty good. Holy blake. Remember how eBay used to work,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: where it was just like a bid here or there.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, eBay still works like this, but I feel
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: like everything right now is by now. Yeah, there's always
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: a buy now option, but um I remember, like in
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: the heyday of eBay, my parents would be like refresh, refresh, refresh,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: and that's how it is with options online. I was saying,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: I got a bunch the d M thaying, you know
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: it's gonna been higher, but it's timed out or something
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: like that. So but it was good. It was fun.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: It was good. So tell us about your date, like,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: tell us about the girl. Where are there any sports? Yeah?
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: So I was very lucky, I'll be honest. You was
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: like completely normal and a lot of fun. And so
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: right away the first thing he said to me here
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: like like, I'll be honest, I had a little bit
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: of wine while batting, and I was like, oh really.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: It was like that's good. She's like, no, I'll be honest.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I had a substantial amount of ill say, oh good,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: we'll get along. That's sweet. I feel like you're probably
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: the least awkward person to have to go on a
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: blind date with, Like you're just so personable and a
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: good conversationalist that you could probably find something to say
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: to anyone. Yeah, I mean, yeah, I wasn't. I wasn't
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: worried about like meeting new people and everything. So we
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: had a blast men in the morning leave and all
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: we all met up and luck together because I brought
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: my sister and her friend out too, so it was great.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: It was a good time for sure. Oh that's so sweet.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Chris Harrison was also a jingle ball and so was
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: one of the executive producers, just wondering if you had
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: any chats to them about Paradise while you were there.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I did not. Actually, I didn't have a chance to
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: see any of them, so I haven't had a chance
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: to talk about Paradise. You didn't see them when you
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: were a jingle Ball either, Noll. I thought them like
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: way back, so that Rick carpet was actually like a
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: really long red carpet. I was probably for like good
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: forty minutes. I saw him. He was like two people
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: behind me, but I never had a chance to see
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: him and talked to him. Well, we all see each other.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: But I'm glad that you provided with a great date
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: and you raised a lot for charity. They will raise
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: some money, so all in all it was it was
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: a success for sure. All right, Well, thank you Blake
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: for joining us and for coming out to l A
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: to do that. We'll talk to you soon. Yeah. Man,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I just gotta say I'm having so much FuMO right
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: now because we were supposed to go to jingle Ball
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: and we're like, oh, we're going to l A next
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: week for the podcast and then we've got to come
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: back up here again. We're like, let's just I know
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: everyone everyone we know like when to jingle Ball, Like
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: sick my stomach? Then no, it's the date. It's definitely
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: really fun, but it also took us over an hour
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: to get there from West Hollywood to the Forum. Yeah,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: and parking, so you guys, know, don't don't. I did
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: want to see Cardi B. So I think that's why
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I'm stressing right now, because I heard she's amazing in
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: person performing. So I have a confession. I don't. I
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: don't get Cardi B. You don't want to see it,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: you do, It's from what I hear. So in person,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: everyone's like, yeah, she's a great performer. I went to
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: her Instagram before. I'm like, I just don't get it.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I know, Okay, yeah, there's a lot of things I
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: don't get, but that for sure is one thing. I
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: feel like she's going to come at me or something,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: you know, a little bit. She's a little bit of
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: an aggressor, but okay, very aggressive. Okay, you guys, you
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: just moved in together. What was it? What month was it?
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Actually it was just a couple of weeks ago. Oh
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: my goodness, like three weeks in. We have watched the
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Sheets twice, only twice. Well, something very drastic happened in
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: the middle of the night. So let me just tell you.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: I told the movie and I said, listen, we're going
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: to have the dogs sleep on the floor. I remember
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: the dog issue for a couple of months now, Well,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: first weekend. It's the middle of the night. Of course,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: the dogs are sleeping on the bed. She wakes up screaming,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, oh my god, what is going on?
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: She was get the light, grabbed my hand. I can't see,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, why you're blind, Like, what's going on?
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: The dog puked all over her face. Oh my god,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the night on the bed. So
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: here's what happen. Chucky little Chuckie, like he'll go to
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: the bathroom in the middle of the night. But he's
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: like he's like a lassie. He'll wake you up, or
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: he'll bark when your meats water. He's a very good communicator. Um,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: he's a little happy on and he was like waking
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: me up, like I have to go outside. I have
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: to go outside. And I was like I was in
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: such a dead sleep, and I was like no, no, no.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: He's like kissing my face, kissing my face, and all
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, I just feel warm liquid and it
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: was vomit that was in my eye sockets that I
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: had like bristol. I like turned on the light and
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at her and I wanted to throw up,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Like I started dry heaving that out of carry. Basically,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: this is like a couple can't I could smell the vomit,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: like he's Chris's guiding me into the bathroom. I can't
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: see anything. It was one of those situations where you
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: reconsider I'll tell you what, they're still sleeping in that
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: they are still sleeping. It's not gonna ever change. I
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: tried locking them out one night of the room and
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: she goes, watch, they're gonna start scratching the door and
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: trying to get in within two minutes, angry bar scratching
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: the door. It's like they're so spoiled that you can't
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: unspoil them because she spoiled them for the last five
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: six years. Well, we have the same issue. We have
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: two dogs now too. When my sister isn't home and
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: she's had her boyfriends than um, the two dogs are
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: sleeping with us, and recently the baby one it's because
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: she's a baby. She's pete on the bed if you
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: don't take her out early enough in the morning, and
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: she starts to like wrestle with the other one. But
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: the puke came out of nowhere. I was not expecting
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: to you, guys, I mean, we've had puppies that you know,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: throw up on the on the bed, but throw up
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: on your face is quite something. Was it kept throwing up,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Chucky kept going. He didn't hear like the you know
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: how to do the dry heave things. It was like
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: one of those movies where like the play and everyone
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: just starts getting really sick and I'm like, wow, what
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: did this? What did he catch? Because nowhere he's sleeping
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: in the bed on the brand new bed on the day,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: on the brand new carpets, not one of both carpets.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Very interesting situation. So we broken our house. Okay, so
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: it was in a new place. Most you guys moved
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: into a new place together. That's night because we were
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: in um my bungalow, which is three square feet for
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: two months together. It's really bad with square footage that
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: I think, Actually, no, that's it was. Actually it really was.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: And we wanted to see, um if moving in together
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: would be the right step for us, or if we
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: needed to continue long distance to build our foundation before
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: we took that step. And it just actually worked out perfectly.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: There was a good test that showed our compatibility and
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: understanding one another. If you can live with someone in
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: three square feet. Then anything more than that is just
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: piece of cake. I completely agree. What is one thing
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: that you've learned since moving in together about each other
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: that you didn't know beforehand? Go first, there's so many. Um,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: she likes things done, and she's very O. C. D.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Particularly she's a micromanager, not a bad way, but it's
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: like I'll be cooking and she goes, oh, you know,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: these boxs need to be put away. Oh this needs this,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: this doesn't and like, but she wants it done now
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: and very strong multitasker. And I'm fine with that. But
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I'm also like, I'm doing this right now, and I'm
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: sure I can get to that in a minute. And
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: so it's just understanding kind of each other in a
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: way where how can we get things done where it's
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: not right now or you know, just both expectations needing
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: to be met. Crystal, I feel like this is something
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: I've noticed watching my sister's boyfriend, watching other friend's boyfriends,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: and living with Jared. I feel like guys have less
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: of a sense of urgency than girls do. It's almost distressing.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: It's like, oh my god, like this step I know right,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: So we have this reputation if we take forever to
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: get at the house, right. They sometimes take longer, but
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: just because they mosey around, like every step is a
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: little slower, every a movement, like they pick up one
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: thing at a time and then put one thing. Well,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: you know, when we take a lung to get out
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: of the house, it's because we're doing our hair and
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: our makeup and folding laundry and doings all at the
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: same time, right exactly. But you know, she'll she'll say
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: these things that where she's not asking me to do it,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: but she'll be like, oh, there's boxes by the door,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: and and and it's like, what I do that? No,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: I'm very direct. Some consciously I'm thinking, Okay, you want
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: me to get the boxes and throw them out, so
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: I'll get up and go get the boxes and throw
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: them out. But I mean, other than that, it's just
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: funny because I like doing things on my own time.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: And then now I've now entered a life where I'm
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: with someone, I'm sharing that life with them, and they
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: have a certain agenda to that where they want things done.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: So it's just making sure we're able to handle both
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: our wants when it comes to when we want to
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: do something It's also it's been really interesting because the
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: last two weeks we've been living together, I just did
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: a huge product launch and so I was just really
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: wrapped in work and while moving at the same time.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: So it was crazy to be doing that and I
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: have like nance hot plus moving plus unpacking. It was wild.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: I would say that the biggest thing I've noticed with
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Chris since moving in together. What is that? How nurturing
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: he is without me having to ask anything, and you know,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: he sees me working, He'll just whip up an amazing
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: lunch or snack or smoothie or dinner without me asking,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: and you know, he throws down in the kitchen. It's
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: He's very nurturing and supportive. It's awesome to see that. Okay,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: but give us the dirt, Like, what's the most annoying
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: about living with him? Um, what's annoying? But just like
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: not like annoying, but like, what's something you didn't know,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: like a little nitpicky thing. Honestly I don't know, really,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Thank you? That's so sweet. Yeah, No, I mean he
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: leaves spoons in the sink with yogurt on them that
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: I have to eventually clean. I mean, that's about as
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: bad as it gets. So that's like a little little
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: part of Jared Jaredemiah annoyance about each other. He like
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: needs every piece of silverware, every plate cleaned immediately, and
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: I I'm like, I did, okay. I'm like, I'm like
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: a spoon, a fork, and a plate can sit in
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: the sink for a couple of hours, rins off. I'm
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: cool with that, but they needs to be cleaned and
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: just left. I've learned that this past week. So I
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: had a yogurt on a spoon and she expressed to
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: me that that's not okay. Okay, yeah, And you know what,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: She's right, because then he gets crusted and it sticks
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: on and it's a pain in the butt to clean.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: So I respected that. Did you grow up in a
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: house where your mom like left the dishes in there
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: for a couple of hours? No, No, I just my
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: mom did. But like I never thought that was a
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: bad thing. Like she she's constantly doing dishes, but if
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: she wants to leave a couple in there for a
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: little while, it's fine. You know what I would do,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: I would fill up a cup of water that's already
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: in the sink, and then I would just put the
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: spoon in there, it can just soak and then I
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: can clean it later and that way I'll just fall
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: right off. I gotta say, one thing that drives me
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: bonkers is when we'll do like a dish or there's
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: like a a dirty stir fry pan just filled with water,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: like not even like there was zero effort in describing
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: the boot off, and like we consider like that okay,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: that's not okay. In my books, it makes me go bunkers.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: I always say that these are your problems. We're all
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: very likely. Is there anything that you guys have come
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: like in your relationship, not just living together, that you've
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: realized you're never going to see eye to eye on
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: But it's okay, dogs in the bed, dogs in the bed?
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Uh what else? Baby? I feel like we're really normal. Yeah,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: I mean we have. We have different opinions on different things.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Like perfect example, remember when Wayfair came with the couch
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: and they were bringing it in and she goes, oh,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: just bring it into the room, and I said, no,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: leave it out in the living room because it's going
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: to take up too much room and there's too much
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: stuff in there, and she goes no, And then we
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: got into like this big thing about it for like
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: three minutes, and then I unpackaged it, put it in there.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Couch look beautiful. She bought a pink velvet couch for
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: the office, very sweet plush and um. Afterwards, she was like, oh, okay,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: you know, you know you Yeah, I'm glad that we
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: could agree and blah blah blah, and I'm just thinking, MI, like, Okay,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: we definitely didn't see I think that's exactly what it is.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: It's like it's the technique of how things are done.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: I like them a particular way, he likes them a
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: particular way. Ultimately it gets done and we come together,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: but on how it gets done, Like I feel one
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: way is incredibly more efficient when you have two movers
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: who can move the heavy piece of fransure for us
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: into the mere the same. I really do, because Jared
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: and I only fight about like how the bed is made.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: I like it's super tight and like military style, with
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: all the throw pillows exactly angled perfectly, and he just
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: like throws the comforter on top and throws the really
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: throws the throw pillows, and he's like, we don't have
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: to make the bed military settle. I don't get it.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: And I was like, it looks the like it looks
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: good my way too. I'm like, not the best though, anyway, Okay,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: you guys. As I spent like ten minutes folding the
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: throw blanket, it looks like it was just tossed. It
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: was not just toss like I specifically model home. That's
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: how I must love exactly. I love it. I just
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: feel so good like that. One more thing to add.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: She'll always ask me my opinion on something when she's
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: already made a her decision, Like she wanted a pink bed,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: and she was what do you think about? Of course
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: a man is not going to really want a pink
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: bed and the two thousand thread counts, and it doesn't
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: matter what I say. And at the end of the day,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: I really it doesn't matter because I'm not going to
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: be too picky on the bed or the color whatever,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: because I know at the end of day she's gonna
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: go with what she wants. And it's it's it's just
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: funny because I already know that she's already made a
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: decision in her mind, and I just go along with it.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: But it probably what's working here is that you have
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: an opinion and you'd like to stay with the opinion,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: and you are okay with going along with her opinion openly.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: And that's very similar to us, to like I am
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: the control freak and he is the relaxed guy that
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: lets me have my way. Perfect way to put it,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: it's a great way. What do you guys do for
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: the holiday? It's like it's the first engaged holiday, as
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: it has also been my first engaged holiday. Thank you
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: you too. So how have we decided the whole Thanksgiving
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Christmas thing? Wait? Are we? Are we Christmas? Okay? Um, Christmas?
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: We haven't to be determined on what we're gonna be doing.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: But Thanksgiving we just spent it with both of us
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: together because I was essentially the first real week of
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: us living in our place. So we just had the
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: dogs and we went and got a bunch of food.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: And she also had to work on that day, so
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: it was almost as if we couldn't really experience it essentially,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: but we may do with what we could because she
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: was just so busy with with work, and we threw
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: down in the kitchen a little did you make a turkey? No?
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: No good turkey? So we did make I mean buffalo
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: cauliflower better did we do step tato nachos? Sweet potato nachos?
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: And then I also made organic race crispy treats. Sounds
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: so good. But your mom's are really good friends. Now
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: they're both you were both raised with single moms and
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: now they are buddy buddy, so I guess it's going
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: to be no problem getting them together for holidays. Yeah,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: we were actually talking about flying your mom's out for
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: That would be so sweet. So we're trying to figure
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: out if it's something that we can do if we
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: don't have any other things to attend to and there's
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: some days open. We definitely want them to come out
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: and spent some time with us. But if it doesn't
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: happen for Christmas the next month, we're planning our engaged
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. So that's another thing too that we
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: got planning in the in the works. Nice. So do
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: you guys have a wedding day yet? I know this
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: is the most over asked question possible, I'm sure, So
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: we just begun picking venues. We have a couple of
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: different cities in mind. We're also contemplating because some of
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: my family brought up the opportunity of getting married in Italy.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: So your Italian, how much I'm Sicilian in Argentinians. So
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: you got to do twenty three and me because I'm
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: telling you you'll be surprised. I thought I would. I was.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: I thought it was a quarter Italian, but then I
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: got my twenty three and me back and I was like, really,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: it was disappointing. My mom was like ten percent African Americans,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: So I think I got to look into that, is
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: she Yeah, I don't know how I would love to
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: do in me. It's so cool. I would definitely love that.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: So cool anyway, Okay, so Italy is on the map,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: possibly San Diego, uh somewhere also Beachy. So I mean
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: we're trying to figure out. I'm sure for you guys,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: it's it's not an easy decision or easy process. It
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: was actually easy, really. It was easy deciding where, like
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: what what region of the country we wanted to get married,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: but it wasn't easy to find. Actually the venue was
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: pretty easy, but we had a compromise. We had to
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: get married on a Sunday. That is that normal, m
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: I mean ideally it's always a Saturday, you know, but
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Sunday because everything was sold out a year in advance
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: on Saturday. Yeah, are you married in Boston, Rhode Island? Yeah,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: that's nice. What did you guys pick there? We can't
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: tell you what we have not revealed yet. Yeah, but
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: it's a Newport, Rhode Island. People can honestly like if
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: they really wanted to figure it out, they probably could.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: I said, why did you guys? We can't tell you.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Jared is from Rhode Island and I always wanted to
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: get married on a beach, like, not on a beach,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: but on a ball like in a ballroom that has
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: a beach view. Tell us more details, that's all. And
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: what is the date? No, that's the that's what I
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: can't tell you. Yeah, I can't tell you that. I
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: can't tell you the exact place because my wedding planner
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: says not to. I would be like, you know, I
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: saved the suspense, Okay, I like, I like suspense. Are
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: you going to get a wedding planner? So you're going
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: to find the locale for us and then find a
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: wedding planner. We're going to be very extra with our wedding.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Anything with the food, with the food in the wine.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: That's that's a good way to go. That's what people
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: really care about. The plates. I'm not worried about the silverware,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: No one cares. Just wanted to look good as far
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: as the venue, and then I wanted to be outdoors
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: in the beach. Nice. Okay, so outdoors. We got outdoors,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: but we don't have the beaches of Porto Arta in Paradise, no, baby,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: you can talk about that. I mean, I'm sure we
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: went to the exact same experience, and I want to know, Um,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: you know, we haven't discussed anything about part but I
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: think right now we're definitely looking at venues, so it's
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: not off the cards, but I mean we're ready to
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: make plans. Yeah. Okay, So basically the show hasn't come
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: to you, and you don't want to wait for them anymore, right,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, I I know that they have things going
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: on with seasons that are coming up and things of
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: that nature, but also too, uh, we have kind of
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: certain timelines for what we're wanting within our own lives
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: and and you know, our path So as of right now, yeah,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: we're looking at other places, and if porto Verta somehow
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: came into the mix, we would be open to it
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: and seeing if that would be something that we would
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: both want together as a unit. I don't love about
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: you guys, but my skin in the winter gets so
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: dry and chapped from the wind and the dry weather.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: That's why I use bio Clarity. I use their Essential Routine,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: which is great for normal to dry skin, and it's
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: only three steps. You're gonna cleanse, restore, and hydrate. It
• 22:54

• 22:58
  Speaker 1: liquorice root are gone all of and shape and that's
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: all those are, like really common ingredients. But their specialty
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: here is flora lux and that is derived from chlorophyll,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: the green stuff and plants. It also helps minimize redness,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: reduce poor sides, and even out skin tone. I love
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: how hydrating it is, especially around the holidays because I've
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: been wearing makeup so much that I hate. I hate
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: putting makeup on dry, flakey skin looks so bad and
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: I'm watching Crystal like literally shutter over there isn't the worst? Yeah, Well,

• 26:05
  Speaker 1: ready to dive in? Ready? I wanted to make this
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: interview of this chat that we we had today a
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: little less normal. I feel like we're all asked the
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: same questions all the time, but a lot of people
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: want to know like your roots and how you got
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: into this whole shebang or The Bachelor. So I came
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: up with a good couple of fun questions. Let's all
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: describe our life pre show. So I was Ashley. I
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: actually I was twenty five when I submitted an audition
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: tape to The Bachelor. It went throughout the entire process
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: of the show in about two and a half minutes,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: from getting out of the limo to the final rows.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: It was like a big parody video. I had just graduated.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: I graduated eight months ago um from Sarahcuses New House
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: School of my Masters in Digital Broadcasting. When I got
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: the call from Casting and I submitted my audition tape
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: the month before graduation. At this time in my life,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: I was four months out of an internship with the
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: New York Jets, and I was looking for a job
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: in digital journalism in the New York City area and
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: for the Jets, I worked for a site that covered
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: the Jets. It was a pretty cool experience, No way, really,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Oh that's so funny. Oh that's right, Okay, well we'll
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: have to talk afterwards. Um, this was It was really
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: cool because I got to be in the press conference
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: room and go in the locker room and interview all
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: the players. It was a really good experience. Yeah. Anyway,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: so that's what I was doing before the show. What
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: were you doing before the show? Chris? Be honest. So
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: I went to UCF for college and then after college
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: going nights. By the way, after I worked for this
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: financial market firm for almost six years UH from salusand
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: twelve two thousands seventeen beginning to seventeen and UH I
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: was a sales training director and then I left started
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: my own company, and I was doing the whole entrepreneur thing.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: I have a sales training software company. So UH started
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: that and h raised some funding for it launched. It
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: really had some great success early on. And in that
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: time I had some friends who originally submitted me for
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: The Bachelor or a bachelorette. I think they submitted me
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: in like February or March, because I was so confused
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: when I got the call. But you didn't get the
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: call until one September. Okay, so about this I think
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: February of that year. So she calls me and and
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: I'm like, do you come on? I was like, listen,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: I appreciate the call, but who is this? Like I
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: thought was one of my friends. And I'm like, all right,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: ever saw did they tell you it was jazzy? But
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: did they tell you that you they submitted you? So
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: she said, we just came across your uh submission, and
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: I go okay. And it was crazy because it was
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: a submission of me with no hair. It was just
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: short hair. So I was like whoa. I was like, okay, well,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: let me let me hear what she has to say.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: And we talked and we hit it off, and she
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: was send me some more pictures and fill out this thing.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: And next thing you know, I'm going to Fort Lauderdale
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: a couple of months later. But they talked to me
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: every week, and then it went to Fort Lauderdale in
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: December of that year, and then right after that UM
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: was casting finals. Weekend, which was the following month in January,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: and then I went there and then little did I
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: know that I was going to be on the show
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: literally a month and a half later, and then everything
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: after that just became a huge blur. That's so nuts.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: So were you single? I was single? Yeah, anyone at
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: the time. No. I mean I would go on dates,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: but as far as anything that had substance. Now, my
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: last serious relationship before that was like two years before that,
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: and I've only had like two serious girlfriends, one of
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: like four years through college and then one for two
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: years after college. So Crystal, it's your turn. Hi. I'm Crystal.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know why I wanted to do it like it.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: I love it. Um My my life before Bachelor. It's
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: so funny. I was just talking about this yesterday. I
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: was twenty nine years old when I got the phone call,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: and ironically, I spent the last two years, well I
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: guess the last year living in my little bungalow. I
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: was in a four year relationship left that the day
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: I moved in the bungalow. My girlfriend submitted me for
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: The Bachelor for nixt season, but it was it was
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: too late in casting, so same here I was supposed
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: to be well, I submitted thinking Wan Pablo was actually
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: going to be Jeff Home because I thought Jeff Holme
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: was the cutest. So that's when I submitted in July August,
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: and then they were like, oh no, Like now in
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: our minds we're like, oh no, that's like basically casting
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: weekend right exactly. And nine months later I got the
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: phone call. All of us got the phone call so
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: much later, nine months later. And the ironic thing was
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: I was actually writing a book about um, just this
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: whole like last year of my life and just this
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: crazy journey I'd been on, and it was actually about
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: losing my voice and this whole like surge of finding
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: it and finding who I was. And I was listening
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: to this Lowest House or Lewis House podcast on how
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: to get my book published and how to grow my audience,
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: and as I'm literally taking notes, and I was supposed
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: to be in Italy and Greece on a trip with
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: someone that I was dating. Broke up with him and
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: a relationship with we date. We dated for a month
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: and a half. We had a three week trip to
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: Italy and Greece, and I broke up with him two
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: weeks before because I was like, he's just not for me.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: I can't go on a three week vacation with someone,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: you know, with someone I know I don't want to
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: be with. I broke it off, didn't go on the trip,
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: and so I was supposed to be on that trip,
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: but I was home, you know, investing in myself and uh.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: And I got the call from the Bachelor as I
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: was listening to that podcast, and I was like, that's
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: just so serendipitous and and crazy. Um. And at that time,
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: I was coaching with Orange Ferry Fitness and just started
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: my online business coaching like through Facebook, and UM. I
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: was just really looking for an adventure and was really
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: in a space or I just spent the last year
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: really getting to know who I was and working out
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: a lot of you know, limiting beliefs and understanding why
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: that for your relationship didn't work out and why I
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: didn't want to commit and kind of just looking back
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: at my life. So I really saw it as a
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: fun adventure that you know, I was I've been looking for.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: That's awesome. So you guys didn't do audition tapes. You
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: just got called based on application. No, I did I
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: had to do an augentition tape after you after you
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: talked to Yeah, so I did. I did an amazing
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: ten minute video of just me cooking food. I was
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: cooking uh skirt steak with Chimmy Sure saulces and I
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: made the Chimmy Turey sauce from scratch, and then I
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: love a little tour of my place and then I
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: did different little interview spots and I talked about the
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: questions that they told me to talk about on the
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: on the video and just went into uh some other
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: more in depth situations. And then after that I submitted
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: it and literally the next day they were like, Okay,
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: we'll see you in for a Lauderdale and so I
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: was like, oh wow, so that's that's you guys out there. Um,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: they go on a tour basically of the entire country
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: where they it's open. It's an open casting call, but
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: they do make special times for the people that they're
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: very interested in based off their applications. So I don't
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: know about you, but I was like rushed to the
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: front of the line, and everybody welse is probably like,
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: why is this girl going to the front of line?
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Why is she skipping. Oh yeah, I didn't wait. When
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: I went to Fort Lauderdale. Uh, she came down and
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: I was at the bar and she was like, she
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: was listening. I just want to apologize. She goes, I'll
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: come back down and get you in like five minutes.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: She was just stay here, you don't have to wait
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: over here, and I'm like, okay, no worries, and she
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: came back. She got me. But you know it was
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: weird is when I submitted the video, I got an
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: email response. I said, okay, well we'll get back to
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: you in two to four weeks. When they got back
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: to me the next day, I knew deepound and thought
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: I was like, this is for sure something's going on.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: It's just happening way too fast, and I just got
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: to embrace it. See I was on the opposite end
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: of the spectrum. It just took so long to hear
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: back from everyone, and I really try to play cool.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm not going to get emotion. I'm gonna
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: get too excited until it's final. It's final, and it
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: didn't become final until ten days before I left. It
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: will officially go time right before like going into so
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: it was almost an entire form of the audition process
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: for me, and just so the whole time, like am
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: I leaving? I have to pay bills? Like what am
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: I gonna do? What about my two dogs? So I
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: was very um stressful, and I knew a couple of
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: days after casting weekend I knew. I think it was
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: probably like I have whole days before that they sent
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: me the packing list and yeah, yeah, I didn't get
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: the packing list until like a few weeks prior. But
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: the woman who I was in contact with, she had
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: told me she was everything is good to go. And
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: then I got the FedEx pamphlet that came with like
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: the final confirmation. But then there was something in there
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: that kind of scared me, and it was you could
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: be an alternate? Did you ever see? And they said
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: that they I think there was like there are a
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: couple of people that will sit in the hotel room
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: and that they're not actually picked, but they're there just
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: in case anybody chickens out. That would be well, I
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: know that happened in Paradise. Definitely definitely had ever so disappointing, Yes,
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: so disappinting. How many times have you done Paradise? Yeah? Okay,
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: did you like it both times? Was it better the
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: second time? No, it was worth the second was Yeah,
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: it was definitely second time. Yeah, there's that. And just
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: like there's already too many formed relationships off the show
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: when you go into the second season, you know, you're
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: like my friends with this person, I have a pass
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: with this person. Was Jared on both Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: I remember. I just I would have to rewatch it
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: again because I don't think I've watched season two. I've
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: watched season three and season four. Okay, so that was
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: my next question, Actually is were you fan of the
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: show beforehand? You know what's crazy? I was telling her
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: this not too long ago. Uh when I had just
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: uh moved to downtown Orlando. The girl I was dating
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: with at the time, Shet We were in a long
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: relationship and we were watching Andy Dorfman, she was the
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: Bachelorette and h and I was like, man, I was
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: I was watching it. It It was a really good season,
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: and my girlfriend at the time got me into it.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: And there was a moment where I was at my
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: girlfriend's place and I was sitting there and I was like, Wow,
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: I'm definitely not going to marry this girl that I'm
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: sitting next to and that's what kicked off my interest
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: in the show because it helped me understand that the
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: girl that I was with at the time, it wasn't
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: really going to be what I'm watching, and he was inspired.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: I was inspired as far as what I wanted or
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: what I was looking for as far as love, and
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: I was like, well, maybe this show actually can legitimate
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: we bring you that opportunity. Yeah, that's I am like
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: four or five years later and I'm married or I'm
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: engaged to an emrazing woman. That was just that wasn't
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: like a that wasn't a slip, right, what did you say,
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: like I was when you said married, Well, you're not
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: like under Kiver married and it's okay. I called Jared.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: We have our secrets to actually Okay, Well that's so fascinating, Chris.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: Pretty interesting. Wow. I have a crazy story too, because
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: the day I moved in the bungalow was the day
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: I was submitted and I just moved out with Chris,
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: whom I met on the show, and now we're engaged. Yeah,
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: and so we both have like journeys. I mean really
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: the Bachelor and Bachelor has been a huge part of
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: our lives, you know, and Julianne as a couple. Of course,
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: it's so nutty. I remember watching the show with my
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: friends and my family back like during Ashley Bear or
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: Emily Maynard season, and we would just even a long time,
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: we would just like come up with hypotheticals of like
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: how I would deal with being on the show. We
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: would like laugh so hard just imagining me on the show.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: And then fast forward a couple of years, I actually
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: do an application. Then look, I found my husband. Isn't
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: that the craziest thing ever? When you guys think about
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: the separate journeys that you had to go on to
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: find each other on a show, I mean, I guess
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: it's no weirder than honestly finding your partner in a bar,
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: or a restaurant or at a at a job. And
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: it's actually probably a higher likelihood because it attracts like
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: minded people and it attracts people that are looking for
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: the same thing. I think, what's incredible, And I'm sure
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: like your relationship with Jared is like this. But coming
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: out of The Bachelor, like in that intern between Bachelor
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: and Bachelor Paradise, it was really hard for me to
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: date because guys just don't understand it, like you just
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: can't relate to someone on that level. And so there's
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: a whole issue of trust, um and just it's hard
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: to date. And so going into Paradise, I was really
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: excited and that was my big My biggest reason was
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: to meet someone. Even though I was like, I swear
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna date. I'm working. I don't want even
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: when a boyfriend and I remember like a producer being lying,
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: that's exactly what they say the ones that get engaged.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: I was like, there's no way, like I'm gonna leave
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: on day one, like I'm not unpacking and it's so crazy,
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: like you know, we were the first thing. I'm in
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: the last to leave. Um, but I know I remember. UM.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: I was like, you guys are gonna like if you
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: honestly remember, this sounds a little conceited, but I was like,
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: if you want me around, you're going to figure out
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: a way to keep me around because I'm not gonna
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: like anyone. I was like, I know myself and I
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: know I don't like anyone ever, So I was like,
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: good luck. You know what's crazy when you go into Paradise,
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: you have this predetermined understanding of you think you know
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: exactly who's going to be a match for you, and
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: it's the complete opposite. Jared was on my list. He
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: was the only one that I was like, I, if
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: he's here, he's probably the only one that I may like.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: But then when I saw him in real life, it
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: was a whole different Like boom first to take us back. Okay,
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: so the first time you met him? Yeah, I know.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: The first time I saw him, it was a feeling
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: that I had never had before. It was wacky because
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: I had watched two episodes of Caitlin season by that time,
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: because I had just aired. Yeah, I was like, he's cute.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: Like on the show. I was like, he's cute, he
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: seems nice. I'll put him on my Bachelor in Paradise list,
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: but I'm not saying that I'm going to like him.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: And then when I saw him in real life, it
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: was a whole different feeling than seeing him on TV.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: Were you were there on day one? Yeah? How was
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: he their day one? Yeah? How excited were you when
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: you first met him in person? I was so nervous
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: because I liked him before, like he even spoke. It
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: was so weird and I was like, Oh no, I
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: didn't come in here prepared to have a crush, you know,
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: because having a car. I don't know about your guys,
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: but it makes me so nervous at first, and it
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: makes me like not be myself at first. Yeah, I
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: mean it throws you off your game because I think
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: we go in and we're always guarded and that at
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: afraid to let people in, and then you let those
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: guards down. It makes you vulnerable and very it's very scary.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: So that's what I was going to say about what
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: you were saying about finding somebody on the show when
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: you did. When I would try to date off the
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: show after already having show experience, I found that regular
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: guys who would never guys who would never been on
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: the show, where they were just very it seems like
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: emotionally unavailable and like not as vulnerable because the show
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: puts you through that emotion training to be so open
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: send so soon, so soon and so soon, And a
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: big thing for me was hard, Like when you're out,
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: people want photos and want to talk to you, and
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: like fans will come up and they ignore the people
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: that you're with. So like when people come up for
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: photos and to talk to you like, they totally disregard
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: the person that you're with. So I know that was hard,
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: like when I gone on dates um to kind of
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: deal with that. You need to see the person just uncomfortable. Yeah,
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: not having not dealt with that before. I think dating
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: and Bachelor Nation, you shared this special bond uh that
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: really a lot of people don't experience. And I think
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: that alone helps relationships form within Bachelor Nation, or at
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: least gives a better opportunity than dating someone out in
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: the reward who's just normal, who hasn't been exposed to
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: this type of experience. Totally. Alright, well, guys, I gotta
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: take a break. I'm sorry, Okay, Oh yeah, no, I
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: have to take a break, get a talk about. One
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: of my favorite things to do with Jared right now
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: is just lay in bed and just like scroll through
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: Pinterest and Instagram looking, you know, for wedding, especially since

  Speaker 1: we talked about your life before the show, but now
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: I want to know what you did when you were
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: sitting in the hotel for three days before because I
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: find this of you fascinating point in your life for
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: self reflection, because the first day you're like, okay, it's
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: a wophone away, which I feel separation anxiety, but I
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: also feel very relaxed at a time, like I can
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: just watch TV and read a book for the next
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: three days and just kind of like gather my thoughts
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: right in a diary. This sounds like not that bad.
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: So the first day you're like yeah, and then you're like,
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: I'm making you friends. I love these producers and then
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: day three comes around and you're like, I am so
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: tired of watching TV, and I'm making up stories. I'm
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: looking at the window and I am making up stories
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: about the people who are walking into this hotel. So
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: tell me about your experience there. I'm gonna say I
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: loved it. I loved it. I was coaching three people
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: through eight challenge, so literally I took the train up
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: from San Diego with like seven suitcases, and I was
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: working on the train, like literally to the minute. I
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: literally walked in the hotel. I was like, here's my phone,
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: by like, I was so ready to be done. I
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: slept for twelve hours and I actually brought my notebook
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: and all my workout equipment, so I was doing workouts
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: in my hotel and watching Real Housewives. Was just catching
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: up on TV because I don't have a TV in
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: the bungalow. You didn't have it, didn't have it. No,
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: I didn't have a TV for two years. I got TV.
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: I got room service. Is amazing. I want myself. No
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: one could reach me. I am in heaven right now
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: so much. Having unlimited room service. I was like, this
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: is like, this is a dream come true. It was,
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: It was, but then you're like, wait a second, I
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: don't want to be all bloated in the face for
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: like night one. That's what I did. So, like the
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: first day, I was like, Okay, you can have what
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: you want tonight, but then you have to actually like
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: cut down with sodium Chris. So for the Bachelorette. The
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: first day it was kind of easy, and then the
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: next day I had no view. I had the worst
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: view possible, but I couldn't look at people in the
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: parking lot. Nothing. There was just branches and there was
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: just nothing. I'm like, wow, I really feel like I'm
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: in jail and I've never been to jail. And this
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: was this was me understanding that jail is just not
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: for me reflection. So but outside of that, I ironed
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: my clothes every day. I took multiple showers. Well, why
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: you're just going to pack them back up? Well, because
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: I just got bored. Yeah, I tried on clothes, I
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: laid everything out, all my shoes, I tried everything on.
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: I paired him up. But I also spent a majority
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: of my days with producers in my room I would
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: say for hours throughout the day, and one of the
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: biggest things was finding out what I was going to
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: do for the limo entrance. I had no idea, did
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: you do the choir sister, So that happened very last minute.
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: I don't even know how we pulled that off and
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: actually went to the mansion before anyone else did. So
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: I was at the mansion that day rehearsal, rehearsal, the
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: choir came and we were all setting up where we
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: were going to be and stuff. So I actually got
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: to see the mansion and everything before the show began recording.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: That's a really over here during the day. So then
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: I was like, I haven't But here's the worst part
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: is I was the last one to get out of
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: the limo. So I was the last one to leave
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: the hotel, and I didn't eat probably since twelve o'clock
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: because I didn't want to look bloated. And so I
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: thought the same thing. It's a thing, and but that's
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: a detriment usually because then you get less time. Oh no,
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: you don't get less time with the cocktail party. Sorry,
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: that was just my season, because with regular seasons, you
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: do like the whole first my season, they did like
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: fifteen and then Chris came in to mingle with us.
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: And then they did another fifteen and then he had
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: to mingle with them. Yeah, but okay, that makes sense.
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: It's not Actually, it's probably a good thing. It was, well,
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: it was because I drink some good tequila four hours
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: and I it was about ten thirty where I finally
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: left in the limo and I'm with one producer and
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: we drive up to the house and then as we
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: get up to the house, all the limo or all
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: the choir people get out of their limo into my limo.
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: So we're in there together and they're hyping me up
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: and they're singing and stuff. And it was in that
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: moment where I opened up the door that he opens
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: up the door of the limo driver and I see
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: backa and I just blacked out. I think we all
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: blacked out out. And I knew I was blacked out
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: because I guess when I walked in there was a
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: chicken David and I didn't even acknowledge David, let alone
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: demon though he was in a chicken And he's like, bro,
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: you did you not see me? I'm wearing a chicken
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: off And I'm like, oh my god, I didn't even
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: I'm just like, not in the moment right now, I'm
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: trying to get back into my body. And but no,
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: I mean that was it was. It was. It was
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: a blessing and a curse because all the guys got
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: to meet each other and then I'm last, and I'm
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: just like and then as soon as I get there,
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: then she comes in. So he didn't have a bonding
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: moment with the guys in the in that in those
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: first couple of hours. No, But then afterwards you're you're
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: waiting for your time. I would even hate that because
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: there's so much anxiety of anticipation of waiting for that moment,
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: like when you step out of the limo. And for
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: me it just felt I'm sure for you guys too.
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: I mean I was a huge fan of the show,
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: so I'd seen it, and to know I was actually
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: stepping on that set and being in the island, I
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: know that I will never experience that we are feeling
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: ever again. And it was just like the wet pavement
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: and the lights everywhere in the cameras, all and all
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: the two hundred staff that night, people working at night
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: night one, and it was just such this out of
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: body experience, like a dream. When it was freezing real.
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: Remember I remember standing with like Clay and Blake and
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: uh Connor would be by the fireplace because it was
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: just so cold. But then they don't want you all
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: bunched up together in one area. They want you spread
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: out to have conversations, to have different views. And I'm thinking, like,
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: it's thirty degrees in l A. Is this even possible? Right?
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: How was this going on? How in malbou in the hills? Yeah,
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: I can get yeah, so I'll I'll always remember, like
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: they get you ready early. I was in the I
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: was in the first limo, so I had to get
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: ready like they wanted me and makeup and hair by
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: one thirty. I was two o'clock. Yeah, so that was
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: way too early for me. I was like, no, if
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: I have to look pretty by eight, this is not
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: going to work here. And there was a whole bunch
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: of like weird makeup issues with me that day too.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: They thought that I was wearing too much wait really
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: well they messed up my make up. Oh. I didn't
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: know where to go and redo. It was like, um,
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: when I mean like styled someone because it is seventeen,
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: I was the exact same. I didn't know if I wanted,
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: like you talk about this, But I went into makeup
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: and they like dust in my eyes with maybe like
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: some brown and then I just didn't look like myself whatsoever.
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: And then my hair looked like Tracy turn Black. I said,
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: like old Hollywood waves, and I turned out to be
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: like sixties style wig and I went back. I judged myself.
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: And then I love that you said judge because the
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: first time I heard it was night one, because because
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: there was a different set of people who were like
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: wo to touch outs for him, and they were amazing.
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: I was like, the judge, that's funny that you said.
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: That's exactly because they were one of the guys that
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: works at Access who doesn't make up. Sometimes when I'm
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: over there, he's like, I do the judging on night
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: one at like at the Mansion, I was like, you
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: are great, You're great. So anyway, there was a couple
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: of issues with that. But I remember you had to
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: get in your dress or your suit hours before they
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: called you downstairs to get miked up. Right, Yeah, So
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: they miked me up and then I sat in my
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: room for almost two hours. My heart was pounding, pounding,
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: doing nothing, and I actually called down for champagne. I'm
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: not even a huge drinker, but I was like, I
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: need a glass of champagne right now. It's a nerve racket,
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: it is. And I'm like, I'm sitting there like praying,
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, are they listening? Are they hearing me?
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: Go to the bathroom? Because you're all miked up, you
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like you're that element of I
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: am alone is no longer there. I mean for hours
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: before evening, when you get out of the limo, I
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: didn't remember that you can't really see any cameras. So
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: that's kind of nice. It's got that kind of sets
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: the tone for you, just getting that out of the
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: way and just realizing, okay, because once you begin the
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: process of exiting the limo, you forget about all the cameras.
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: It becomes like they're just not even there. So that
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: that's something that helped me at least get past that
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: first part, because that was definitely hard. Yeah. I remember
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: walking down to the hotel, like the hotel lobby and
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: seeing the girls that were in my limo, and we
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: weren't really allowed to mingle with them yet. We were
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: each with a producer or a handler talk they're like,
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: look at me, look at me, don't look at the
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: other girls. And I remember seeing britt Nielsen at the
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: corner of my eye and I was like, oh God,
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: this is gonna be really hard because he is like
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: the most static person I've ever seen, and I was like, wow, okay,
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: oh yeah. But then um, then all of a sudden,
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: you start talking to the girls and you're like, oh,
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: I like them, Oh we're gonna be friends. Who did
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: you bond with the most on Night one? Uh? Blake,
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: Blake for sure, Nick Jordan's Uh who else was he
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: bonded with? Jordan on Night one? Yeah? I like George,
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: I like Jordan from Jordan. Jordan is one of the
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: funniest people to ever come out of this franchise. But
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: being in the house with him was also amazing because
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: I knew that there would be something extra each day,
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: or just something where he would make me laugh. And
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: he's just very comical, comic relief. Yeah, and he's so
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: witty and he's a good chirper, So if someone chirped
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: at him, he somehow already has something that's gonna be
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: right back at you right away. It's like he doesn't
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: even it already processed and it just comes out right
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: away without even him. I wish I had the speed
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: of his brain. Yes, very fast. Yeah, Crystal, who'd you
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: bond with? All the cards I wanted with? Went home
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: on night one? It was Brittany Brittany. There was two Brittaney's,
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: So the Brittany went home on night one, she was
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: in my limo. We were close. Caroline was actually my limo.
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: Um bree. She went home on night one and Lauren Ja.
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: That must have been hard. It was like, yeah, the
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: girls I was like chatting with the most, like they
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: all lat and I was like, oh my gosh, are
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: like my buddies. Yeah. The friends that you make on
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: night one aren't necessarily the friends that you stay closest
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: to the entire time, but it's definitely probably who you
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: cling onto the most that first week. Yeah. Blake, uh,
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: he had the first one on one and I had
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: the second, and kind of that brought us together and
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: we bonded even more based off that, because it's a
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: very unique experience to get those first one on one dates.
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: You had the same situation getting an early one on
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: one and you just you get that bond with someone
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: and talk about you know, what you're going through and
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: how you're feelings. So it's nice to just have someone there,
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: uh and be able to relate in regards to that. UM.
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: I don't want to name producers, but all of us
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: naturally are inclined to like just be really trumming with
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: a couple of them, and they figured that out pretty quickly. Um,
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: How in what ways did you bond with the producer
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: that you seem to be set up with the most.
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: It's so funny. We were talking about producers on the
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: way here this morning. There's a lot of producers that
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: I love, and I'm not going to name drop anyone,
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: but I had a certain producer that came to do
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: my intro package and I really like her a lot.
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: She's a really good friend of mine, and she's amazing,
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: amazing human being. I did have someone else who was
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: my main producer. Uh. He was my main producer for
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: the first few episodes, uh, first three or four, and
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: then it changed to someone else whom I do love
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: um as a person, and he's a very close friend
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: of mine. But I do understand that each producer and
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: why everything's switched up, and everything makes sense now and
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: It's also nice because Crystal helps me also understand and
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: identify kind of the impact of the show outside of
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: the show, as far as who you are as a
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: person and things that come out of who you are
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: on the show that maybe you never knew about, but
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: you're able to identify and be able to fix those
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: things or be able to understand why, Okay, that actually
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: is something that came out of me, So there had
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: to be something there and now you're able to address it.
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: It's not interesting how they use certain people that bring
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: out certain characteristics in you. Some of them like I
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: knew that my girlfriend personality, like you know, like my
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: cute fun like let's have girl talk would come out,
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: and then one whereas let's be funny talk, let's be
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: snarky one, and then one where it was like you're
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: going to be super emotional right now? Yes, Crystal, Yes,
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: I want to say anything. I would say that just
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: um yeah. I think that looking back and Chris, we're
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: having this conversation yesterday and it was just, um yeah.
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: I think that you build a lot of trust and
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: report with people. And I mean I think even our
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: friendships right are like that. We have friends for different
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: different and I'm going to happy hours, I'm going to church,
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: I'm going to you know, group setting somewhere, one on one.
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: And I think that you definitely carry those qualities into
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: producers as well, and that's so interesting. I will say though, producers,
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: they have a certain job that they have to do
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: and they're not malicious or they're not bad people, right,
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: And I think that's something that now I understand moving forward,
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: is a lot of the things. Early on, I had
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: no idea about TV or anything about myself and reactions
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: to certain things, and now I do understand it. And
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: so now I look back and I'm like, Okay, certain
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: producers can get certain things out of you, and that's
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: just kind of how it works. And it's nothing against them.
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: It's just you've got to be very self aware of
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: the situation or the certain type of um environment that
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: you're in at that point in time on the show.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: And I think whether on a show or whether in
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: real life, I think it's just this element of UM.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, we were saying that this particular instance magnifies
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: qualities that great or not great and takes in to
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: another level, and we can choose to look at it
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: in two different ways, especially being villainized. You know, I
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: was both having that villain edit. I chose to look
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: back at it as a coach. I was trained to
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: receive feedback um as a way to grow. And so
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: with my experience on The Bachelor, I mean that is,
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: I could let it defeat me. And there were definitely
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: moments in my life when they were really hard to
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: pull myself out of, but I would read through all
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: those nasty comments and just still try to pull some
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: way that I could grow and apply and you know,
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: become a better person, become a better coach. And because
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: of that experience, you know, it allowed me to I
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: mean truly transform as a person and then to come
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: onto Paradise and like show who who I was and
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: then bring a better version of myself into a relationship.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: And look what happened. I mean, you are definition like
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: I learned and growed from the show, and I have
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: a whole other season to prove that, and you too, Chris,
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: And I think that it's so cool that you guys
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: were both villains on the show and then you really
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: like a lot of them just like go into the abyss, right,
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: But then you guys really came out of it, you
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: grew from it and now look you're both very adored
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: and you're together and you got a happy ending from
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: it and were and we're so grateful even for those
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: moments that are really hard, and I think we really
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: look back at the show and anything in life, that
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: curveball thing that hit us. It's a moment for us
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: to really grow our strength and to define us um
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: and it's how we choose to react to it. And
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: because of that hard time, like I mean, I was
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: able to you know, find Chris, like had it not
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: been for the show. So I look back and I'm
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: just so grateful for for all of it. There are
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: things I do regret, of course, I look back and grateful,
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: grateful for it all same. So it's honestly like no regrets,
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: but I mean a little bit. Yeah. Um, okay, So
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: let's talk about when you exit the Bachelor bubble, not
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: so much when the show is airing, because I know
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: you guys have talked about that a lot and like
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: all like the hay and the social media and that's
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: just something that's just kind of been exhausted. Let's talk
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: about when you exit the bubble and how weird it
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: is when they hand your phone back when you can
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: call your family and all that weird stuff. So I
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: was in Virginia when I ended up leaving the show.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: My home state. Very from northern Virginia, very very interesting state,
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: a very interesting experience. Uh So I leave the hotel
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: that was like four in the morning, and right away
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: I said, I want to go on the next flight
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: because I was just over at that point. And I
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: got my phone back and I turned on my phone,
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: and I had a lot of notification sations, But the
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: biggest thing was is you were just so numb to
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: your phone. It's just like I was gone forty days.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: I didn't know how I didn't. I was very honest
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: to get him back as soon as I got it.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: And I felt as if that I had to give
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: my energy to all these messages, and I felt exhausted,
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: and I hadn't even texted anyone yet. So I was like,
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: you know what, I think, I'm gonna shut it off.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: And then I got on the flight. And when I
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: went home, I remember I literally binge eat so much
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: cookies because I was so exhausted. I slept for twenty
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: four hours straight, laid in bed street just yeah, I
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: was just so mentally drained, not physically mentally, because of
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: what I had just experienced, and I just needed to
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: allow myself to get back in realignment your body legit
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: pressed reset. I was in Paris and it was the
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: day after my thirtieth birthday for two on one and
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: when I got back to the hotel room, got to
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: bed at four thirty, had to be at seven for
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: my flight, and when I was at the air I
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: almost got pulled in the customs because there was an
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: issue with my ticket, like because I didn't book it,
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: someone else booked it for me, and so three security
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: people came over talking to me, and finally I was like, look,
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: I'm on a TV show, like someone booked it for me.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: And they're like wait what and they're like, oh my gosh,
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: an American on a TV show like probably up let
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: me skip the line, upgraded me, check my luggage for free.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: Well a couple of backs. I stilled to feel like
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: sevens to ship all my luggage, and um on that flight,
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: they like, they like up totally upgraded me. And then
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: on that flight I drank for four I didn't even
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: say I just stood so numb, just like oh my god,
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: I got broken up with on a national television on
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: my birthday, Like what happened? And I didn't turn on
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: my phone for five days. After getting home, I came
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: to offer five days, went and saw my grandma literally
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: within twelve hours of less than that of landing. Went
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: and stayed with my grandma and slept to my goma's
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: bed for like five days. I couldn't sleep because of anxiety,
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: so I had to take ben and drill. And my
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: aunt was like, what happened to you? Is she knew?
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: Because she's very self aware, she knew that she was gonna.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: I knew what was going down some rough waters. Me
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: on the other hand, I remember my mom calling me.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: She goes, how was it? Talk to me? I said, man,
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: it was a great experience, all these great things. I'm
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: thinking in my head. I was like, you know, there
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: was a little rough patch in Vegas and Virginia, but
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: I'm hoping that uh, I come out on top. And
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: the boy was I wrong? Because well, not only was
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: I wrong, I was completely wrong. And I didn't and
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: talk about self awareness exactly. And what's crazy is is
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: I didn't get to see my season and I'm in
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: paradise get engaged, and we come out of you saw
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: not even an episode the first one, and um, I
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: come out of Paradise with her and and we're watching
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: the show. And the first thing is when I turned
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: on my phone in Paradise is my mom was like,
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: what is going on? Yeah? I remember it, and I'm like,
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: oh god, I'm like, honestly, I just wanted to pass out.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: When he's calling and tell her he's engaged and happy,
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: and it's like, you're not going to want to watch
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: the show. There's just you're not gonna want to read anything.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: And I'm thinking like, oh my god, what happened? And yeah,
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: so that that was a bigger eye opener than leaving
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: in Virginia. I'd say it was a big cloud too,
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: because I mean, we're coming off, we're excited, and we're
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: together and want to celebrate it. And then it was
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: really hard to see Chris go through that experience as
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: a villain because I had just come out of it
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: and I had gone through it, and I knew you
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: had no idea he was going to be portrayed like that.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: I had no idea. And I know, my biggest concern
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: in dating someone or meeting someone in Paradise was that,
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: especially a new someone new fresh off Beeca season, was
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: that they had no idea what this life or fame
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: or attention would be like. And so I was really
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: resistant to dating someone um because they didn't know how
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: they if they'd be like a Peter Pan and would
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: it be like an Instagram model or you know what
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: I was saying, really soak and basking the attention and
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: one in that because that's not a quality that I'm
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: looking for in a partner um. And so, I mean,
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: I was nervous about that. But then to see Chris
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: having the villain edit and it was tough, you know,
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: to watch him go through that what I had gone
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: through in the same way. It's interesting because you definitely
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: fell in love with the person and you had no
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: preconceived notions of who he was, so you really got
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: to know him and not the caricature that was created
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: up him. Correct very very interesting experience, but I'm very grateful,
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: So I have have nothing bad to say about any
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: of it, And you know, it's something where you learn
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: a lot from and I came out on top because
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: I got blessed with an amazing woman. So I'm very happy.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: With the outcome of the total experience. What's the biggest
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: a conception you think of the show, Because I think
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: the most annoying thing I get asked by fans is
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: just is it real? Like, well, yeah, I've engaged from it,
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: so it's pretty darn real, right. People seem to be surprised, like,
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: oh my god, are actually together? Yeah, yeah, we are.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: Didn't you watch it? Yeah? Yeah. The way I kind
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: of explain it is, especially in Paradise, you're on an
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: island for almost thirty days with nothing besides the other
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: people around you, and if you're really into someone, being
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: with them every single day for that entire duration is
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: equivalent to maybe dating six months to a year out
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: in the real world. But more importantly, there's no distractions.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: So if you really want to have some in depth
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: conversations that have substance, that is, with someone else, and
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: there's no distractions on the table, you'll really be able
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: to justify if this is someone that you can see
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: yourself being with outside in the in the in the
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: real world. I definitely don't think it's a coincidence that
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: the Bachelor in Paradise relationships seem to be longer lasting. Uh,
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: and that then they're honestly, yeah, more of them have
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: formed that have lasted long. So we had Jay Tanner,
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: Carly Evan Raven and Adam Me and Tart in a
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: certain capacity and you guys. So it's just crazy when
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: you compare them to the regular seasons because when in
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: that case, I think maybe you get thirty six hours
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: together alone, right in total. Yeah, And and in Paradise
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: you also don't have the camera in your face so much.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: You are lounging around and there'll be a camera launched
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: on the top of the ceiling, but you don't really realize.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: And I feel like it's so much less competitive because
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: I mean the first week, I mean really everyone's kind
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: of kissing each other and it's like normal, which is
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: like it was so weird, but you're like like you see, like, yeah,
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: you're just going kids, like two guys like back to back.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: It's normal. It's Paradise, Tila. That wasn't me. I've seen it,
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean it's amazing you just spending quality time,
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: and I thought Paradise it was just everyone feels relaxed.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: The beach is an element where I think it just
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: draws out really great qualities and people, and I would
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: say that the are my experience with the producers in Paradise,
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: it was so much more. It just felt so supportive
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: of exploring relationships and um, there's just so much less
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: expectations and pressure on yourself to perform and compete with
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: other people. You're not really competing in Paradise, You're just exploring.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: It all depends on who you are. Oh yeah, I
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: remember you and Kayla. Al right, well, speaking of packing, Crystal,
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: you packed seven bags for the Bachelor. How many did
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: you bring for Paradise? I brought I think I could
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: have downe to two in a carry on. Okay, that's
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: good because Paradise everything's like you don't have to bring Yeah,
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: you don't have to bring codes and for every kind
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: of weather, which is like, what do you mean? Thread
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: up is so helpful when packing for the Bachelor or
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: really styling any closet wardrobe, filling it up. You know,
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: you can fill up a closet so easily and so
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: affordably with threat up. Jared and I have so many
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: fun wedding festivities coming up. We got bachelor parties and
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: bridal showers, but I can't spend so much money on
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: a dress every single time, and that's why I love
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: thread Up. If you don't know, threat Up is the
• 1:11:34

  Speaker 1: this amazing forty year old Virgins of Colton. Now, yesterday
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: Eve Been Colton posted this. I was like, did he
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: create that himself? But apparently Judd Apataw had part of this,
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: the director of the forty year old version, and many. Yeah,
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: he is a big fan. I met his wife backstage
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: at one of the Leslie Man Yes batage. I think
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: she's so cool love Leslie. Could they have found I'm
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: sure you guys have if you follow Colton or any
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: of the bachelors on social media, I'm sure you've seen
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: this spoof. But I mean, did Colton post for this?
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: Because this picture is the exact thing. Yeah, his body
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: is different than Steve korl, so this is definitely Colton's body.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: I think he posed. Yeah, I think you definitely posed it.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: It's incredible. Yeah, it's amazing. It's point. Can I frame this?
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: You guys are friends with Colton, We're both you know,
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: you're both in paradise with him. Tell us why you
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: think he's going to be a good bachelor, or if
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: you don't think he's gonna be a bachelor, then le
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: listen to that too. Oh, I cannot wait to watch
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: his season. Colton is multidimensional. I mean we love we
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: love calling him that because he just offers a lot
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: and I think that, Um, I'm excited to see with
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: the woman's perspective of I mean, with his virginity, how
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: that's going to impact women, especially if they get they're
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: getting serious and to see Colton kind of make that
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: decision of am I ready for the for this stef
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: and I mean fantasy spades man, do you guys know
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: any dirt? Like? Have you talked to him about how
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: is season unfolded? I mean I talked to him the
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: other day on the phone. He lost a little bit
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: of muscle, you know, because he's been doing so much
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: cardio and he also are you referring to bedroom cardios?
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: You had like a dirty look in your eyes. I
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: was like, No, I was asking him how how he
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: was as far as because he trains real hard. He
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: was when I was on the phone with him, he
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: was actually at muscle Farm training, but he uh was
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: telling me about how the sodium and a lot of
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: the food in some of the areas that they went.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: It was different compared to his diet, and he has
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: should he feel bloated? He just, yeah, you just fell
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: a little bit bloated, a little a little bit of
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: loss muscle, lean muscles. So he doesn't have any time
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: to work out. Now. I can't imagine what it's like
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: for the lead because I mean has contestants, I mean
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: we barely slept, but the lead, because they have to
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: go an interview after. I don't know what to do it.
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: It's no it's exhaustion job ever, and nobody gives them
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: credit for it, right, yeah, So I can only imagine
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: not only is he probably fatigued mentally and emotionally because
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: that that's it's got to be tough for a couple
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: of months doing that, but his body, I'm sure right
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: now that's probably one of his main priorities now coming
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: off the show, is getting back to where he was
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: and getting back on his diet and his regiment and
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: stuff like that. But he still looks great. It looks great,
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: you know, definitely a great body looking good there with
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: the rose. So I like that. It's pretty I'm very excited.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: I just think he's great because he's going to be
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: so emotional and open about it. He's so comfort bowl
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: with expressing himself on TV. I feel like I think
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: you'll see more of a well polished man on this
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: season of him. I feel like maybe some people thought
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: with the indecisiveness and him always smiling and serious situations
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: kind of led people to think that he wasn't ready
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: for a role like that, and maybe thought maybe him
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: being a little bit more of a boy. I guess
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: you can say, but I'm thinking now watching kind of
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: what's going to play out, I'm thinking you're gonna see
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: a well polished groom man and someone who knows what
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: he wants and someone who really gives us everything. As
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: far as being real and very genuine, I agree, I have.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: I just I feel like he's gonna he's this was
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: an opportunity for him to step into his own He's
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: gonna shock. Like you guys talking growth, I think that
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: it's amazing how much growth we've seen Colton go through
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: over the past year too. Yeah, we're very invested in him.
