• 0:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah. You you were busy when I was.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: I was, we had quite a bit.
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: You're pumping out some great episodes. Make sure you go
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: back and listen to those. But I am. I am
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: happy to come back and hang out with you and
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: be with the team. So we've done Christmas together a
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: few years in a row. We do it because.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Because your in laws get along so well, isn't it
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: nice to have that. My parents take along really well
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: with Jarry's parents, it is.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: And I'm an only child, so that's a good piece, right,
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: So you know, I think for me, there is obviously
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: the desire, the want to spend holidays with my family. However,
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: you know we aren't going to be able to do
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: that forever where we go on vacation for a holiday
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: because kids will come into play, and you know, Justic's
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: parents are about to become grandparents here in about I
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: don't know, a week, and so we wanted to take
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: advantage of the time that we had. Italy was for
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: a few things. One, my mom just turned sixty, her
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: dad just as dad just turned sixty, Her mom is Italian,
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: has never been to Italy, and my dad is retiring soon.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: And so this was kind of a last year when
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: Jess and I are like, there's so many big things
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: happening in our family's lives. What could we do with
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: them to like celebrate it and to make a memory together?
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: And so Italy was the obvious choice because it's Italy.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: And so we went to Rome, we went to Florence,
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: we went to Pompeii, and then we went down to
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: the Amalfi Coast and spent five days in the Malfy
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: coast doing like a lemon tour with an incredible company.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: If anybody wants any lemon tour recommendations, it was amazing.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Is awesome.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: I've been all those places. I've been to Italy three
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: times now, just crazy. I know, well, once for a wedding,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: once for our honeymoon, and then once we did a
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Mediterranean cruise with my family, so.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: We like hit all those little spots. So all those
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: little spots, you know, like realm. So of all the places,
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: where did you think was the best food.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: I think the best food that we had had to
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: be in like on the Malfy Coast.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Oh really, okay, So are you a seafood guy.
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm allergic to shellfish.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: Oh that's right, but I like, I mean, I'm obviously
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: a huge fish fan. I just can't have the you know,
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: shrimp and lobsters and clams. I think Rome everybody when
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: I was going to Italy kind of said, hey, Rome
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: a big city. Like it's just a big city. It's
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: gonna be hectic, you know, there's things to do, but
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: it's it's just a big city. I loved Rome. I
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: personally found Rome to be very exciting. Around every corner
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: there's history. There's obviously so much of our kind of
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: Western civilization was kind of like built there, like the
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: foundation of it, and then you know, obviously as somebody
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: who is a Christian, like, there's so much biblical history
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: in Rome with you know, Paul and Peter and then
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: obviously the Roman Empire. So for me, I was just
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: kind of infatuated the whole time with Rome. We had
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: great food in Rome. We went to some restaurants there
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: in Rome, and a little neighborhood. I'm gonna say it wrong,
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: Jessico would say it right, but it's called Traverse. I
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: think it was the name of it, and it was.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: It was full of good food and good drink. Here's
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: what I'm gonna do, Ashley. I'm gonna upload. I have
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: the whole because I planned this trip for my face.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: It's kind of like something I wanted to do.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: That's so cool. I love that.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: I'm going to upload kind of our agenda I haven't
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: written down and so everybody can see and if they're
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: going to Italy soon. I got a lot of messages
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: on social media that people are like, hey, I'm going
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: to Italy next.
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: Year or next week or whatever.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: I'll just upload it and if people want to kind
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: of follow it and know where we ate and where
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: we stayed. We stayed in a Mafi Coast at in
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: a little town called Maori. It's way down south. We
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: did it because it's less expensive and it has a
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: port so we could get around them offy coast by boat.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: And I would recommend staying in a little town called Minori,
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: which is right next to it, less expensive, doesn't have
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: the hustle and bustle of other places, has amazing food,
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: very local.
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: So I'll just upload it if people want to follow it.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Cool, it's a great idea. I agree. I mean I
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: liked I even like Roam's food the most.
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's great.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: I was obsessed with just the architecture there and just
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: walk around the little alleys. I can just do that
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: all day and just be in awe of It's like
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: what every building looks like is just gorgeous.
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: I have a little bone to pick with the US
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: coming back from Rome.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, why don't we put effort into our buildings the
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: way that they put effort in.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: So I live obviously in Denver. Here's like my opinion.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: I would love for people to argue with me on it,
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: just because I think it's It's one I want to
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: learn more about, and I think I learned more when
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: people kind of come back with other sides.
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: You know, Rome Italy, Italy in general has buildings that
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: are thousands of years old. Some of these buildings are
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: still standing. Some of these buildings have been refurbished and
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: are being used as amazing like condos and apartments and restaurants.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: Well in the US, obviously, I work in the restaurant world,
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: and I obviously have a coffee company in coffee shops
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: in the US.
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: All of our licensing.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: To get any type of food prep you have to
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: have cleanable walls and ceilings, which mean you can't have
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: brick like walls in a kitchen. I get that. There's
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: issues to that. I get to like there's some sanitation issues. However,
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: there has to be a good medium because I want
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: to see our one hundred year old buildings, one hundred
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: and fifty year old buildings still be used here in
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: the US, because there's something special about sitting in the
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: basement of a like a thousand year old building and
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: having dinner and breaking bread where people have done it
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: for like years and years. It's very sacred, it's very special,
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: and I miss that here. I don't want everything to
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: be sterile here. I kind of want to have the
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: I want to have some grease on the walls, I
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: guess personally, Yeah.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I completely agree with that. Do you feel like
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: this is another thing with America? Like I believe me,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: I am. I'm an American girl, and every time I
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: go abroad, I am so excited, honestly to come back
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: to America, you.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: Know, just like missed the conveniences and like, you know,
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: but like it.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: It's great to go there and experience it, and then
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: it's also great to know that you can come home.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: So my big thing is.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Just like it's crazy the way that their food over
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: there digests so much better. Did you find yourself to
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: be like able to go walk around and be comfortable
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: after a huge meal and then the next day your
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: stomach be like flatter than ever.
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: No, I one hundred percent felt this. I also felt
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: this with the wine. You know, you got a bottle
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: of wine at dinner every night, and I would have,
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: you know, two glasses of wine. And if I have
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: two glasses of wine, like I am a cocktail a
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: night kind of guy, or at least a cocktail every
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: couple of nights, just one kind of like it's my thing.
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: I watch the sunset. But that's about where I can stop.
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: I don't. I don't overdrink in my life.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: Jessica knows this because it I hate the feeling and
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: I don't like losing control. It's not that's not why
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: I do it. I've had moments. Obviously you've seen it,
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: but not it's very rare. I after two glass of wine,
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: like I felt great, Like I felt like fine, there's
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: just a yeah, the food and the drink over there
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: just felt like it digested easier. I think if anybody's
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: traveling to Italy, you're gonna find that too. You can
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: eat a bowl of pasta or a whole pizza to
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: yourself and get up and be like I feel pretty good,
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: like I'm rocking and rolling.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you can just tell that there's like nothing toxic
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: in the food, and your body knows exactly how to
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: process it, whereas like at home, you know, we don't
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: know really what's in it. But like I do think
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: that there's some sort of guideline or whatnot that like
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: each restaurant needs to source their all their ingredients from
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: a certain radius around them to ensure that it's as
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: fresh as it can be.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: In Italy, you think, mm hmmm, yeah, I think I've
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: heard of this.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: I mean, you know, remember a few years ago where
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: the shop local trend became very popular and it was
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: kind of a big push, uh, not only from like
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: kind of our generation.
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: It was maybe eight years ago.
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: I still think it's a very popular thing to do,
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: but the shop local became very popular. I think that's
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: I think it's a really amazing solution if it's sustainable
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: because you're getting fresh ingredients, because you're supporting your local farmers.
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: And I do think you see that, right, you have
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: produce sitting out like in the kitchen that you can
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: just tell has been picked that day. We did that
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: limon to or like I said, and understood kind of
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: how the limon industry works, but also the struggles that
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: Italy is going to have with the lemon industry here
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: in the next few years because young people aren't entering
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: into farming and so you know, these small farms are
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: no longer maybe sustainable for the lifestyle that the younger
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: generation in Italy wants to live.
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: So to go back to Italy.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: I don't know if listeners are going to be intrigued
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: with all the details, but here's the things I said
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: from our trip that I would recommend what we did.
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: I think Pompeii is very much worth it.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: If anybody tells, yeah, it is, you get a ton
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: of history. And you know, obviously last year we went
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: to Israel. The ruins at Pompeii are in the best
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: shape of any ruins that we've seen through Israel in Italy.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: I also think the Amalfi Coast is one hundred percent
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: worth Going to the Amalfi Coast is definitely the most
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: beautiful place I've ever been. It is shockingly pretty. And
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: here is the question that everybody wants to ask, how
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: did the trip go? Like, how do to How did
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: the six of us get along? We got along really good.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: I cannot imagine it going better. There is no arguments.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: Everybody had enough freedom to do their own thing. But
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: we had a ton of time together. We agreed on stuff,
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: We had a lot of fun together. It was an
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: amazing trip, one that I know when i'm you know,
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: it's crazy when you're in these experiences and you're like,
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: when I'm sixty five years old, I'm gonna look back
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: and remember this trip, like I'm gonna still talk about
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: our trip to Italy with both in laws. It's gonna
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: be something that is a pivotal piece of my life,
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: and so it was.
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: It was great.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: I feel very I don't want to say blessed, because
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: blessed over. I just feel very fortunate, grateful that we
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: were able to do that with both sets of parents
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: and have those memories together. I will say the gelagg
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: was real. My dad suffered really bad with it, like
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: really bad getting there. Getting there it was really hard,
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: and then getting back has kind of been a transition.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: But you know, eight hours is enough to really shake
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: you up a little bit.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: Last question for you, Yeah, what's your take on lemon Cello?
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: Love lemon Cello. I cannot say that.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: I am not a oh my gosh, I'm craving lemon
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: Cello type of person. We did, though, find that the
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: place that we went had Melonchello, had like cream Cello,
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: had chocolate cello, coo. Well, there's a lot of different
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: cello's in there. Lemon Cello, though done well, which they
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: did do it well, is fantastic, but it's not something
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: I crave, maybe as much as others crave Wominchello.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they would always give us a shot of Lemonchello
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: because we were on our honeymoon. Yeah, and well Jared
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: would not like could not, And then I was like
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: not super keen, too sweet, too tart. Sorry, but I
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: also cannot deny a free drink, so I took them all.
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I can't deny it either. Maybe you should have
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: said we were on our honeymoon, you Okay, craziest story
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: from the trip outside of all the other things. I
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: come from a town of forty five hundred people were Sundyana.
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: You saw it aired on The Bachelor. We are in
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: may Ori or Minori, Italy, going to dinner one night.
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: It is right next to our hotel, walking down the
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: street and there's my old neighbors from More Sun Diana
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: walking down the street as well.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Wild as wild as that. Okay, that's the most because
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: it's warsaw. But I always feel like when you're traveling abroad,
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: you somehow find one person that you've met before in life,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: and it's weird.
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: It's very weird.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: It makes you you know, back when you were a
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: kid and your parents used to say, like, you gotta
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: behave because you never know how it's going to come
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: back around. And I always like, yeah, right, Well, it does.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: It comes back around. You got to keep your stuff
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: together as you get older, because your circle gets bigger. Ashley,
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: I want to transition this conversation again. I will upload
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: our itinerary from Italy. I think that could be interesting
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: to anybody going over there and may be helpful. I'll
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: give some tips and stuff like that here. In a week,
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: you and I are going to be together. We're gonna
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: be together at Dean and Kaylan's wedding. Okay, obviously, we
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: just had Dean and Kaylan on our podcast and they
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: gave some details around their wedding and some of the
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: fun things they've been doing to lead up to their wedding.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: Dean and I play golf this week weekend together.

• 13:59
  Speaker 4: this wedding. I am personally very excited for this wedding.
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: People are coming to Colorado who have never been to
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: Colorado or maybe never experienced real Colorado. And this is
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: obviously a place I live and I love, and I
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: I want people to see an experience. So Dean and
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: I are talking on the golf course and Dean is
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: very excited for this as I said, but he did
• 14:19

• 14:21
  Speaker 4: gonna be semi shocking for people is one, this wedding

• 14:26
  Speaker 4: been saying it's an Aspen. It's not an Aspen. It's
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: very far from Aspen.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: It's over gat.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're not gonna You're not gonna just jump down
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: the mountain and go to Aspen. The second piece is
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: it's a very rustic, very rustic venue where we're staying
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: at the venue. There's not like hotels around, right, So
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: these are cabins, not super well insulated.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: They will well, that's good to know.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so Jessica and I will be bringing blankets for
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: everybody from our house, will drive us.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: What do I dress like is go pretty darn cold.
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: It could be a little chili. Yeah, it could be
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: a little chilly.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: I would definitely prepare for it to be in the fifties,
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: maybe high forties.
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: Uh. And then there is And this.
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: Is where I want to talk to you about it
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: because I personally find this to be amazing.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Okay, I think I know what you're gonna say, and
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: it's gonna freak me out. Are you gonna say there's
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: no cell service and Wi Fi?
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: There's no cell service, but I do believe there's Wi Fi?
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Okay, because as a parent, that's not fun, you know
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: what I mean. It's a whole different thing. Like I
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: used to love actually going on The Bachelor and them
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: taking my phone away. I mean like that, yes, human connection,
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: but now it's like totally not okay to.
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: I get it. Yeah, Okay.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: So here's what I was laughing with Dean about, You're
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: gonna have a bunch of people who spend their most
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: of their time and living, influencing, posting and sharing different things.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: There's not really gonna be that availability. Do you think
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: people are gonna have freakouts? Or do you think most
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: people are going to really enjoy the disconnection from the
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: hustle and bustle of the world.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: I think it comes down to whether you have kids
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: or not.
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: Okay, So those that have kids might be a little nervous.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Like, and I'm gonna be honest, Jared doesn't do well.
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: I don't I wouldn't do well either.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, because like he's also has this
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: other child, which is Audrey's. So it's like she he's
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: like already stressed that he has to run it from
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: like being you know, not there present, and then yeah.
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: Well I do think there's Wi Fi.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: So I think like, overall, you're gonna be able to
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: make it work when you need to make it work.
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: But I don't think you're gonna be walking from cabin
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: to cabin and getting like the ability to text, and
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: so I do think that will be eliminated. But I
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: do think he'll be able to FaceTime and call and
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: do all the things that you can do on Wi Fi.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: I don't this isn't like in the middle of absolutely nowhere.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: There is a town.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: There, there is a town. Okay.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: So Jared also has anxiety, and I understand because I
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: have like extreme rule anxiety. I'll just always remember when
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: I went to James Madison University, which is Harrisonburg, Virginia,
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: which is a very well developed city now with the college.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: But if you go like ten miles out, it's just
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: pure darkness, Like you could be on a country road
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: and not see any lights left to right for miles
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: and that freaks me out. Yeah, and Jared also has
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: like this anxiety because he just feels like he wants
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: to be independent, like he wants to be able to
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: go grab a coffee whenever he wants to, and if
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: he doesn't have that freedom, that stresses him out. Yeah well,
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: I see, You'll see he'll mask it well with him,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: but I'm sure he'll.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: Be freaking out.
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: Well, I personally really love this because I love getting
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: out of my comfort zone.
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: And there's a comfort.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: Anti that's the anti Jared. Yeah, he loves his comfort zone.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: So we will be attending this wedding in a few days.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: It's going to be a great celebration. There's going to
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: be more Bachelor Family than I expected to be there.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: So excited for Becca and Tanya to be there. I
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: consider Tanya to be an honorary Bachelor Nation.
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: I forget that she wasn't a part of the y.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: I know we've always wanted her to be on, but
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: now we are so excited that our iHeart family member
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Tanya rad is engaged to the love of her life, Robbie.
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: So good, so good.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: So anyways, it's gonna be a wild experience. I can't
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: wait to share the stories with you. I am so
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: excited to see you all. I'm very excited to see
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: everybody including myself, get out of their comfort zones and
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: into the mountains for a few days to celebrate the
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: love that Dean and Calen have for each other. It's
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: gonna be great, and there's no way you get this
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: many people in one place without some great stories that.
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: Come out of it.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: I'm seriously, like so excited to have like a little
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Bachelor Nation reunion. But also, you're right, it'll be nice
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: to like not have everybody on their phones and we
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: can actually feel like it's about the reunion, you know
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: what I mean.
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: It actually talks to people, so yeaheah.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: We get to talk to people and I don't feel
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: like I'm interrupting them every time I look at them
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: because they're texting and looking down at their phones.
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: It's going to be great. Anyways. You hate that we
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: have some Bachelor headlines.
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: We do have a busy week of some great interviews
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: coming up your way. We are getting closer and closer
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: to the end of our off season. This was our
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: off season. It's why I was able to go.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: To Italy short af It.
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: Is right, and there's a lot of press coming out
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: about the Golden Bachelor. I saw yesterday that I don't
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: think it was official necessarily, but reality Steve did release
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: who he believes is the contestants on this season.
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: I have no clue how he.
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: Found from the contestants on Joey season Joey's season that
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: will be coming up.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: But The Bachelor also did.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: They announced it only on their Facebook page and it
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: isn't unofficial list. There is a friend of mine on
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: the Facebook list, but like, we can't really go above
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: and beyond and get excited because it's all kind of
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: like a teaser. So what happened was with Clayton season,
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: they did the same sort of release, but there were
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: like three girls from the Facebook list that didn't make
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: the cut, so it's very much an unofficial cast list.
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: Well, it's getting closer. Let's dive into headlines because there
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: are a few. Here's the first. Hannah Godwin reveals her
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: favorite honeymoon memory and why her wedding was in Paris.
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: We had this question, now it's being answered.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: Mm hmm, okay.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: So the best part of their honeymoon, she said, was
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: having deep belly laughs about so many things, and about
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: and them being in their own little world.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: She said. Obviously the food location.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Just relaxing was really nice, but our favorite memories are
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: definitely the laughs that they had. And she even has
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: a little notes, you know, in her notes app she
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: put some of the things that they cracked up over,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: which I love that idea. It's because you know, how
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: many times do you say, like, what was that thing
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: that we just cracked up over? And you remember the laugh,
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: but you don't remember what the heck you were laughing over.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: So she documented it so they can go back and
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: look at it. She also said that they decided on
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: Paris because when they were like first out and able
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: to do anything as a couple after Bachelor and Paradise,
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: they went to France.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: It was really meaningful to them. They loved it so much.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: But they didn't decide on having it there until actually
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: New Year's Eve this past year. So if you guys
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: have ever planned a wedding out there, you know that
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: deciding on a location seven months out is actually quite
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: difficult because the venues have all been sucked up. She goes,
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: that's she goes, that is why we had a Wednesday wedding.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: So she goes, we highly recommend it.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, if you're traveling to Paris, it doesn't
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: really matter what day you're exactly.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: You're already making a week out of it.
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you're making a week.
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: Next headline is this Katie Thurston, who we obviously announced
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: is going to be on f Boy Island, a creation
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: of somebody who used to be an executive producer on
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: The Bachelor along Gail. But Katie Thurston embraces the humor
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: on f Boy Island season three.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: Mm hm.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: So she says that her experience on f Boy Island,
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: which does not premiere until Sober sixteenth at eight o'clock
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: on the CW, she says it's like the total opposite
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: of what she had gone through before. So she had
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: never watched the show before being asked to do it,
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: so she binge watched it, and she said she was
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: truly laughing out loud watching Binge watching season two.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: She said she was.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Pleasantly surprised by how feminist it was. She said she
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: liked how it was satirical and comedy focused, and so
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: once she saw it, she was like, what, well, yeah,
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: why not? This sounds like it's going to be a
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: really fun time for me. So, if you guys haven't
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: watched Foy Island, Kitty does explain it quite well.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: She goes, an f boy.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Is someone who makes decisions in her opinion selfishly. You know,
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: where they're not taking into consideration the person that it
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: could impact. They're doing it for their own gain, pleasure, reward,
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: whatever that is. Whereas these nice guys are going to
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: look at the bigger picture and assess their actions because
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: of that take you into consideration in terms of how
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: it's going to make you feel. They should be honest
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: and how they're always thinking about how decision impacts everybody else.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: She just said that like being on the show was
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: the antithesis of the Bachelor in tone, because everything is
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: kind of like you can have humor with it. It's lighthearted,
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: nobody's necessarily looking for their soulmate. On f Boy Island,
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: she said that she was able to have conversations like
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: full uninterrupted conversations where nobody was like, okay, okay, guys,
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: let's get more serious, let's talk about marriage, and like
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: if you guys both want to be parents one day,
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: she said she was able to just like have straight,
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: uninterrupted conversations and it was just a more comedy based
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: She also liked the fact that there was like a
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: sisterhood element because she was alongside to other women the
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: entire time, and she was like, worst case scenario, if
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: I don't live with money, I have some new sisters.
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: And Nicki Glazer is obviously the host of this and
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: probably brings a massive amount of humor to the show,
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: and it's going to be you know, it's an intriguing watch,
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: I think, and it's an interesting concept. It's great to
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: hear Katie be so positive about a reality television experience.
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: That's not something we're used to, right, I mean, yeah,
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: she obviously had a really great experience, and she trusted
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: the team because I don't think she had any interest
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: in during reality television necessarily again, after her time, I
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: don't think she loved her time as the Bachelor, at
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: least from what she has said. So she obviously trusted
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: the team and went on and then came ou off
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: of it. And it's like, hey, this is really great.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so good for love.
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a big one one that we've kind
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: of been speculating for a bit, just didn't have the answers,
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: but today we do. Michael a has officially confirmed his
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: breakup with Daniel Mulby. This one hurts deeply, actually, very deeply.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: It's very sad, yes, very assumed. We pull it up
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: and read it directly, which it was about time to
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: be honest, because like, what are you to do just
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: like fade your relationship into obscurity with the fans that
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: have followed it from the very beginning? Like you know,
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: you know, you start a relationship on TV, you kind
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: of have to if you're if it's going to end,
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: you kind of have to discuss it.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: Do you agree with me on that?
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: I do?
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: I mean I think I think at some point you
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: just have to confirm that it's no longer a relationship
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: because if not, then, I mean I think everybody is
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: probably in your comments and in your messages making exceptions
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: and then what happens when you get seen on a
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: date with somebody else?
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it lingers longer than it needs to. Yeah, okay, Yeah,
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: So he actually said it on Jason Tartic's podcast. The
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: episode was released today September eighteenth. He says, it's not
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: what we plan.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: We both threw a lot into this relationship, and it's
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: awful when it doesn't work out. You mourn the loss
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: of not just that person and friend in your life,
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: but also the future that you had envision. That's so true.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: A lot of it is like the death of the
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: dreams of the relationship that hurt the most, in my opinion,
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: he said, And it's to no fault of hers. She
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: poured everything into this. We're still, you know, working through
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: some things and trying to stay close, but the last
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: few months have been really rough. He's ended the conversation
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: by saying that starting over again is always frightening. I
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: know that time will heal, because I've felt that before,
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: but it doesn't make this anything any less difficult. And
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: he just said, yeah, yeah, that's basically all he said
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: on Jason's podcast.
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: But we'll have to listen to that too.
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: This is an interesting headline for me. I obviously know
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: people still working on Paradise, working within Paradise. I don't
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: know what he's talking.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: About me neither. Okay, I.
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: Feel like I'm pretty I don't know any of the
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: spoilers for Paradise.
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: I just refuse.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: But I do always like to hear about the kind
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: of the some of the characters. I like to hear
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: about some of the like the vibe of Paradise and
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: kind of how it plays out. That's kind of where
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: I liked it, because Paradise intrigues me. I've never been,
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: so it's kind of like this mystery place. But this
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: is the headline. Jesse Palmer promises unique twist for Bachelor
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: in Paradise season nine. This according to Yahoo. I don't
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: know what this twist is. I have no idea what
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: he said.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: I know, Okay, So here's the quote.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: There's going to be something really special and unique about
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: this season, something to celebrate. I think all Bachelor Nation
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: is going to be really really excited about it. Everyone
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: on the beach will be too. I really cannot wait
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: to see what happens and where this goes. Now, before
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: I continue, I just want to say that, like, this
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: sounds different than last year's twist, which was separating the
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: cast and adding more in while the girls.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: Were Nobody liked that.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: So Jesse says that everybody's going to be excited about it. However,
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: Wells does not share this sentiment. He says, I imagine.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: Wells says, I imagine that there will be things that
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: people are not expecting to happen, and they're probably going
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: to be.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: Very angry about it.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: He says, I'll be fine because I'll be making drinks
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: and just watching the dumpster fire happen in front of me.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: So I was so interested about this headline that I
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: texted Joe because I knew that her best friend Rachel
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: Rekia was on this season, and I.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: Go, what is this about? And now, of.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: Course, like she knows for sure, and we don't like
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: to spoil things on the show. But later in this
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: article it does touch on something that Jill did touch
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: on in the text that she responded to me. She
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: brings up the truth box. So we see the truth
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: box in the teaser, and I think, like, I don't
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: know whether the truth box is like you put secrets
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: in there about people and then at some point they're
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: read out loud, or whether it's kind of like one
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: of those things where you take a question out of
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: the truth box and like you're sitting around some campfire
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: and it's like an activity where you know, you pull
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: it out and you need to like answer. Honestly, it's
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: like who is the troublemaker in the clan or who
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: is the one to most likely steal your boy?
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: If this is the twist that's getting publicity, then they're
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: really hurting because that is not a huge twist.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: It's a twist.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: I would love the well if it was my first
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: explanation or guests where like you just put in your
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: little thoughts and then at some point somebody.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: Has to read all these secrets out loud.
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, here's my problem with that. Ashley obviously have a
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: problem with stuff.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: And that's good for me as a viewer, not for
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: me as part of the cast.
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: Well, it feels like social media to me.
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: You can hide behind something like if you're able to
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: put in a box something about somebody else that maybe
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: isn't positive, then it's almost like social media because you're
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: hiding behind a screen, You're hiding behind this. Nope, I
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: don't know. Obviously we're speculating everything. But if there is
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: the ability to call somebody out but not have to
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: do it to their face, then I don't think it's healthy.
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: Like I think one of the things about Paradise that
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: is mos then with health you know, yeah, well, I
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: think one of the things that that makes Paradise great
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: is you have to confront these things, right, think about
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: the Blake Hortsman stories, the Dean stories, the love trying
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: to breakups, the thing that we love about Paradise is
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: that you can't run away from this stuff, Like you
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: can't hide it and just get eliminated. You have to
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: confront it at some point because you're counting on this
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: partner or you're counting on this dynamic to get you
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: to the next week. So maybe possibly you can find
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: your forever person. I like that about Paradise. I like
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: that you're on a beach, isolated in one area of
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: men and women living together trying to figure it out.
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: I don't want that to go away. I don't want
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: it to be buffered.
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: Okay, totally see where you're coming from. I just say,
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: don't you think that if this truth box and these
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: secrets come out that like immediately people are gonna.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: Be like, it's that person who said it, and then
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: you're gonna have to confront it anyway.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe arguments.
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's definitely helping helping people get better at being me.
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: That's exactly what it's doing.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: You're so right, I don't even know that that's what
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: it is. I actually don't even think that's what it is.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: I think it like brings up questions and then you
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: guys have to like discuss it.
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's great.
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: It's like going back to high school around, like when
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: you sit around, you're like, you know, what is the
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: game when you put down one finger?
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: You raise a finger?
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, oh you mean never have I ever?
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's kind of like that, like never have I ever? Like,
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: but it's a different kind of game where it's bringing
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: truth out, it's forcing conversation, it's helping people share things
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: or talk about things that maybe they wouldn't And so
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: if that's the case, I could get behind it. I
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: could get behind that. I just don't know if that
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: is a big enough twist to be promoting publicly.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Certain certainly not. But they do this to this every year.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: I know when I first saw the headline.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: I was like, Oh, what are they gonna do. Are
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: they going to tell everyone that.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: Like there's no need for engagements or something, No where
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: there's gonna be no engagements or like, I don't know, I.
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: Thought, big, you know what, I'm excited for this season,
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: and I think the cast is going to be a
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: really good cast with some big characters that we've known
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: and watched. I always get excited for Paradise. Now this
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: year I kind of get the double whammy with the
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: Golden Bachelor, so we'll be better about I'll be watching

• 33:31
  Speaker 4: it so bad. I don't know what else to do anymore.
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: I'm kind of like I felt like I for the
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: first time kind of went out of my comfort zone
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: and publicly said and asking and so and that was
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: kind of the advice that everybody gave me that you
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: know is around me. And they said, just ask, Like
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: if you ask, like they're gonna have to like consider it.
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: They want it considered. Maybe they just don't think about
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: you anymore.
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: And so I did. I asked, and.
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: Then yeah, I don't know, backfire or some I don't

  Speaker 3: Of my athleticism.

  Speaker 4: yourself up to look like a marshmallow, like, you put
