  Speaker 1: Nation as our guest host today, Trista Sutter, Welcome to
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the Almost Famous Podcast. Thanks thanks for having me. I'm
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: so excited for them than how it is to be
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: a fun now that you have a puppy. So yeah,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I'm wondering. I'm gonna ask Ashley in a few months,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: like what was harder a puppy or a baby? Because
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: the puppy is really difficult. Yeah, they are really Actually,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: when you when you have a puppy after you have
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: a baby, you compare it to having a new one.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: So if it is really hard, it's good training. Now.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: I him actually triested in the Paul Springs airport. Right now,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I'm getting ready to fly to um Carmel by the
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Sea for an I Heeart Live podcast series. So you're
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: gonna hear some background noise because I'm sitting in the
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: airport doing this. Um right now, and here's my point
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: to that. So I came up. I left Jessica at
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: home after two days of getting a puppy. With the
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: puppy for eight days, I'm gonna be gone, Um, traveling
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: for work and uh, we're gonna still be married. But
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: it's not. We're gonna still be married. But I've gotten
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: now to face times at night being like this is amazing,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: and then at the same time, within seconds it turns
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: to being a nightmare. Um, he's he's a little he's
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: a little little goofball. Is he, Craig Jeney, he is he? Uh,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: he's doing great. He was crying most nights, but now
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: he's not. But now he's developed. Because it's cold. You know,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: obviously we live in Colorado. It's cold in Colorado right now.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: And as a puppy, he's refusing to go outside to
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: go to the bathroom because it's too cold. Yeah, and
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: he's he's pretty potty trained. I think he's just being
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: very high maintenance and so instead you would rather wait
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: and find a warm place in the house. It's awesome
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: for me. I get to see it through pictures and
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: phone calls. I'm not there for right now. I'm the
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: worst husband in the world this week, but you don't know,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I don't think the husband in the world. But you
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: might have to bring home some Brownie points or brownie
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: whatever she likes. Yeah, I think I think we're going
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: on a date night. Um, yeah, good idea, trist Tristy,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: you're here to celebrate obviously Ashley's baby show that we
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: just had. We did not expect the baby to come
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: as soon as it did, so now you're back co
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: hosting this episode with me. Um, thank you for doing it.
• 2:50

  Speaker 1: know one of the things because it's happening in my home. Um.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Ryan just went back to work. He had to surgeries
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: this summer. He had a totally replacement and ankle surgery
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: after he was injured at work. And it's really big
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: news in our house. I guess it's news elsewhere. I
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: don't know why, but it is something that is happening
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: in our world. And I'm just really proud of them. Um.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: He I don't know, I feel like you might follow
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: each other. But he did a post when he went back,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: and the day he went back, he had quite the
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: a juxtaposition of UM people that they came in contact to.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: One of them spit on the fire truck, spit on
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: the fire truck, Like what how? How do people think
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: that that's okay? Um? And then of course he had
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: you know, other support, like he felt really supported. But
• 4:15

  Speaker 1: thankful for you to be here today. Again. Uh, let's
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: take a break. When we come back, we're going to
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: break down this week's episode of The Bachelor again. I'm sorry.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: I'm at an airport because I gotta get to Karma
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: by the Sea for this podcast so we can do
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: a live episodes all week. So I'm sitting in Palm
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Springs airport watching people walk by with palms, turns on
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: their shirt and uh sunburns. Hey, we'll be back with
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: almost new his podcast. This week's episode of the Bachelor
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: starts out, so with the cocktail party, we pick it
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: back up again. More drama, more injurgued What are you
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: thinking at this point, Trista, as somebody's been on the show,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: a fan of the show, What what's going on in
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: your gut as you watch this? Thank God I didn't
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: have this kind of drama to deal with, that is
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: what I'm thinking. I mean, are my season obviously was
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the first one. None of us had any idea coming
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: into it what was going to be happening. And then
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: on my season the Bachelorette, the guys got along so well,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: there was no drama, and god, this is the point
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: when Clayton is like face to face with these girls
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: and talking about the drama, and I don't I just
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: feel so bad for him, Like why do the girls
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: think that it's okay too to be dramatic like this.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I don't understand it, Ben, Like why, why, why? Why?
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: It's like they've never watched the show before, because it
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: never ends well for the people involved in the drama ever,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Like you know, no matter what your intentions are, maybe
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: you come on this show to find it's not gonna
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: end well for you. To get involved in the drama.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Maybe you go on this show to get super famous
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: and make money on social media. You're still the drunk
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: workout well for you, Like I don't that, Like path
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: has never made sense to me from any point of
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: intentions going on the show, and it seems like like
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: she wants to cause drama. You know, this year, the
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: previews for the rest of the season we're different than
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: anything we've seen before, because it really did make it
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: seem like there were spoilers within the previews. People were
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: freaking out, like you just told a sud the final
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: three are there's no way the show would do like
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: the way too smart, way too savvy. Yeah, there's no
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: way that's the final three. They made it look like it,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: and I think they did that intentionally. Uh so they
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: could have that good preview, But you're probably right. I
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: bet this like little two on one ROAs ceremony is
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: not leaving some on the island like I did. It's
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: like an actual like roast ceremony where like they dressed
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: up and they stand in front of him. He's like,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: you know, I'll pick one of you, Tristan. I have
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: an interesting question for you. What I think it's interesting
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Maybe nobody else does. How much of the drama can
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: we blame on the lead? You said, Hey, the drama
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: wasn't bat on my season. The guys got along right,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: some of the best UM seasons that we've seen. I mean,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I would even say, for the most part, like a
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Caitlin Bristow season, which is the iconic season you know
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: I live. This is only one I know by living
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: in the house with the most of the guys got along.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: There was a little bit of weirdness, but nothing major
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: when it came to the guys. How much of that
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: is on the lead or how much of that is
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: just on the cast? It is there? Actually, don't think
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: it has anything to do with the lead. I I think,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: you know, Cassidy and Say were kind of like buddy
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: buddies and teamed up, and Cassidy seemed to be like coaching,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: like you knew to do this, you need to like
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: go for it and go hard and do not take
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: any prisoners kind of thing. Um And so had she
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: not been there, maybe Sena would have acted differently. We
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: all know that Cassy went home, and uh, you know,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: I think that it's really hard if there had been
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: drama on my season, it would have been a very
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: very hard line to get to the bottom of what's happening,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: but also just continue to focus on the the people
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: that I was really interested in, because when there's drama,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: you can't focus on it. So it sucks because you know,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: all of these girls are complaining about how they don't
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: have they're not getting time with Clayton because of the drama.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Like he canceled the Rose ceremony um and then he
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: pulled you know, Elizabeth and Senai to talk to them,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: say is showing up on the group date like it's
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: it's not It's not anything that he is having to
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: deal with. Although I will say and because I think
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: it is an interesting question. When Shane came to the
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: group date, he gave her time, and I think that
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: he could have for sure said listen, Shane, I'm really sorry,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: but I these girls one time with me, and so
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: I'm going to give them my time. That is one
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: way that I feel like the lead does have control
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: of any kind of drama, especially when the person causing
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: or involved in a lot of the drama is the
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: person interrupting the group date that she wasn't invited on.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: You know, I completely agree with you. I don't want
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: to blame us all on Clayton, but I do think
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: he has a role in it because there is zero
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: chance he hasn't has he not picked up on some
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: of the signs, like some of the like things that
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: you're like, Hey, this doesn't seem like how everybody else
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: is acting. This doesn't feel like it's helpful. There's arguments
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: going on. But I'm going to give her time anyways,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I'm going to continue to facilitate that she can continue
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: to step on other people's toes um So you know,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: it definitely is a personality thing. Definitely is going to
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: handle this situation that's on her. Clane has them to
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: do that. But how much of it are you going
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: to allow? People ask me all the time, Tris. It's
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: the most common question I got get asked, how much
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: did they forced you to keep people around? And I said, well,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: they they never forced me to keep somebody around. However,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: they would definitely like push for me to keep somebody around.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: They would say, he would be really great if you
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: would keep the sees of the world around for another week,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: you can get rid of somebody else in the process.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: And if I wanted to, I always had the ability
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: to say, no, it's not gonna happen. I'm not keeping
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: them around. I could have said, okay, whatever, I'll just
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: do what you want me to do, even though I
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: know this is gonna be bad for the house. I
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: never was like, you know, hand to the fire, come on,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: you got to keep them around. I never felt like that,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: but but there was definitely like the it would be
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: awesome if you kept around. I kind of think so
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Clayton could have stopped this where it was at, way
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: before it got to this point. Um. That's why I
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: just I think, Hey, some of this has to do
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: with him. A little bit of it. Um, how sick
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: are you or how ridiculous? You know? Do you feel
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: that this like a lot of this is around shrimp. Now,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: obviously she said some really neat things about Elizabeth's mental health,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: which is not okay. We talked about the last episode.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: That's that's like hurt full and far beyond. That's the
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: thing that really set set it off the edge. But
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: a lot of this conversation is around shrimp. Like you're adults,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: You're arguing over a plate of shrimp, and it's like
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: it drives me up the wall. Yeah, oh, I totally agree.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: All I wanted to say. I wanted to reach in
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: the screen grab Clayton, shake him and say, do you
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: understand that this is not a mature conversation. There is
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: no maturity here. If she's worried about shrimp, and you know,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: this could have been editing, but he was listening in
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: on the conversation that um, you know they were having
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: at the Rose there on mony last week's the end
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: of last week's week's episode, and so I don't know
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: for sure if it's editing and he was really truly
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: listening in or he wasn't. But if he was listening
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: in and the edit was like correct and true, then
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: he heard Genevieves saying, what the hell, why are you
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: talking about shrimp? Like come on? So, yeah, I don't
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: understand why there is this issue with shrimp. They were
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: in a hot tup. Maybe they didn't hear her say it,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: maybe the levels were like too loud. I don't know,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: but it really does seem like a super immature conversation
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: and a red flag because if she's more worried about
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: the fact that she offered people shrimp and they didn't
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: take it, there's there's a problem there. Yeah, I don't
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: even know how to talk about this because it feels
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: so ridiculous, Like it feels if you know, in my mind,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: I'm taking the stance right now like a producer. Right,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: you're a producer, and you're like, we're filming this show.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: We're gonna see how this plays out, right, So this
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: shrimp shrimp gate goes down, like this is gonna be
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: a great, like kind of funny, little like dramatic moment
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: where like we she walks rocks around the play of shrimp.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Some people take it, some people don't, some people are
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: finn not and then everybody moves on. It's like not
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: a storyline The Bachelor. This season, Tristan I Bet has
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: gotten thirty minutes of content over shrimp. Wait. It is
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: carried like the last third or fourth of the last episode,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: and that first fourth of this episode. Shrimp has made
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: not only a cocktail party get canceled, but it has
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: also been the underlying conversation. Now again, there is a
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: history here where was really need to Elizabeth about a
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: d h D. It really put up Elizabeth up against
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: all said some hertful things, but those things aren't even
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: really being discussed. I know we discussed more than everything else,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: and that's confusing to me. Totally agree. Like I I
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: loved Elizabeth. She's also a Colorado girl, so I was
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: rooting for UM. But I and I thought she handled
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: it so classy. I know we're backing up episodes, but
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: I really do think that if she had brought up
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: to Clayton, because I think she wanted to stay so
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: far out of the drama it was, or at least
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: as much as possible, she didn't mention that, like Jane
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: told all of these people, it wasn't her right to
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: tell anyone about my mental health issues, Like I shared
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: that with her in giving her an olid branch to
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: try to, you know, let her know that. That's why
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: I wasn't able to UM respond to her in that moment,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: and she totally abused that and then the hurtful things
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: that she I know the girls can't see that, and
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: I know Clayton can't see it, but in her I
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: t m s when she was like, oh, like she
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: was like rying and laughing about the fact that Elizabeth
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: has a d h D. I just I I always
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: think I wish, in some way, shape or form that
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: the leaves could get some kind of background or on
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: the I T M s or what's happening, and there
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: are interviews to understand what truly is going down in
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: the house, you know, and these people really are Yeah, definitely,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: no that that would be. That would be fantastic, But
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: then you know, the show wouldn't be carried on drama
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: like we're gonna see you know, so the cocktail parties canceled.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Clayton cancels that just due to the like the confusion
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: and whatever is going going on in the world. The
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: women are obviously upset about that time was taken away
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: once again over shrimp Gate, and we've we reoved right
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: into the Rose ceremony, which you know is is shocking.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: I think this will be Clayton's I think Clayton's gonna
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: have a hard week publicly because of this Rose cremon.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: I don't think people are gonna be fans of his decision. Again,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: it's important to note that he doesn't know all the
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: conversations going behind the scenes. He doesn't see what we see.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: He doesn't know really how the women are interacting in
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: the house. He's trusting his gut a lot oftentimes. I
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: do think there's been enough signs for him, or he
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: could have probably said, hey, this doesn't feel healthy, but
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: he says Elizabeth Home keeps say so. Here's the ones
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: that received a rose, Marlin, Marlina Teddy, Rachel Mara, Sierra, Suzie, Jill, Serene,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Genevieve Hunter, Lindsay Nay and the ones to go home
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: where Elizabeth, Malin and Kira Um. That's it's gonna be
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: hard for Clayton this week. I think people are gonna
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: have a really strong reaction to this decision. And I
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: don't know if it's deservedly so, because again he doesn't
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: know everything. But I think this is a pretty bad
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: moment for Clayton miss season and probably his first major
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: mistake because keeps the drama and releases somebody like Elizabeth,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: who really I felt like was trying her best to
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: like push aside this move on from it. She didn't
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: want to keep talking about it, and yet she just
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: keeps getting dragged back. I totally agree. I think I
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: think that is why he's going to have a hard week,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: because I think Elizabeth was someone that people connected to
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: they thought that she handled at least for me. I
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: feel like I thought she handled it really really well,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: and she was very classy and and you know how
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: she was treating the other girls too. And then I
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: think this was a note after he handed out the roses,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: and of course it could be editing too, but she
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: is standing there by herself like that. To me, I
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: always thought, if if a guy can't get along with
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: the other guys, then that is a huge red flag.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: To me, there's something going on that I don't know about.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: And maybe it's something that is um like made up
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: or untrue or whatever, but there's something to it. So
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: if she is not able to forge any relationships with
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: any of the girls, that is a huge red flag
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: that I feel like he should have seen. I would
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: completely agree Tristan. So that is yeah, and I think
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: you maybe give me that advice before my season was like,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: just see how the girls are acting with each other, like,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: you know, just see if they get along and which
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: ones aren't getting along with other people. Now, it could
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: be that they're quieter and that's fine too, but also
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: could be that, like there's a reason for it, so
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: you gotta dig in. Well, um, obviously we're going to
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: fast forward a little bit. The girls are heading on
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: what Jesse Palmer calls an international journey. First off, the Houston, Texas. Uh,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about Houston, Texas right after the break,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: but let's take a break. We'll come back. We'll talk
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: about their international journey beginning in the great state of Texas. Well, Trista,

• 20:44
  Speaker 1: We we you know, started working you know, uh with

• 21:07
  Speaker 1: a bomb on us, and uh, let us know that
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: we were playing on the Bachelor, and we almost swerved
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: off the road, but we we kept it together. And yeah,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: we were just so excited to be a part of it.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Have you watched the show before? Oh, we're super fans.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Were literally, oh yeah, we we watched every every night

• 21:32
  Speaker 1: the show for I think Ben, your season was Garrett's
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: first introduction season for Garrett that that's when I jumped in.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Was was the Ben Higgins season. I remember watching back
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: when the Brad dude was there and Sean days, I've
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: been here, so you have no idea who I am. Yeah, no,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: it's okay, probably not even born. We're here now, that's right,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: that's what's important. The Uh, well, thank you through continuing
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: to watch even after my season. It does meet a lot.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: It's very nice of you. But you know you came on,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: you weren't joking, and you said it's a big deal.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: It is a big deal, Like this is a great
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: moment for explos You're You're really a great band to
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: have on the date. Uh, I was. You know, Tristan
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: and I both have been leaves before, so we know
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: how how these kind of musical experiences feel on the show.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: What was it like for you, Like behind the scenes.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: I know during my season, Amos Lee came on and
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: I love Amos. He's a great dude. And he was
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: there for like three hours, played two songs and left.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: He's like, I have no clue what I just did.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: I've never seen this show, but I did it because
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: you were here. So tell us about like what it's
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: like to be the musical performer on the show. Well,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: for us, I feel like it's probably a little bit different.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: So we um, we were on tour at the time,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: and we had just played in Denver, and so we
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: took a flight to Houston where the date was being filmed.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: It was absolutely beautiful, this this barn in this on
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: this farm, and uh we heard they're having a barbecue date. Yeah,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: and so we uh we kind of just we we
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: had to stay behind the scenes the entire time because, um,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: because Rachel didn't know we were there, and so Clay
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: wanted to make sure that this was just a surprise.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: So we kind of just were huddled in this uh
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: this house all night and then uh we performed. It's
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: a long day, as you guys know. Um, so we
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: we didn't perform until probably about one am. So um,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: which may be that that that may be the latest
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: that any of us have ever had to to do
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: anything like that before. So but no, it was incredible though.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: I mean the experience the producers, that's what that was
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: what was really interesting for us. I feel like because
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: being such big fans of The Bachelor's you always wonder
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: like what goes on behind the scenes and what is
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: running through the producer's mind. So we we probably picked
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: every producer's brain the entire time. We were trying to
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: come up with data ideas for him, flash cards, data ideas. Yeah,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: we're trying to we're making a move right now. If
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: everything goes well tonight, we could really see a future
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: where we could host Bachelor in Paradise. Yeah, we want
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: to be there. Yeah, or be the house band. Why
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: not a house band? A bartender that why don't we
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: have a house band? Just sid right here? Have another job?
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: That's amazing, good idea we have. We know some people,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: We're gonna make some calls. Let's do so. Uh. You know,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: obviously you guys have had a ton of success as
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: a band. Uh. You uh premiered, Uh and you finished
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: fourth on the season finale of X Factor. Uh, you've
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: written a ton of song. Uh. You have a great
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: song out with the collaboration with Cam Brown. Uh. Now
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: you find yourself on The Bachelor. I think today kind
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: of kind of mid uh interview here. Um, you're gonna
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: play a little song for us. Uh, do you mind
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: giving us a little taste as we continue to talk
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: about your music, caper and the show, A little little
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: taste over your song. Why don't we do it? Yes? Please?
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: So when we performed to this for Clayton and his state, Rachel,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: where are we were? Hearts were going a million miles
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: an hour all we were told. We were standing on
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: stage ready to go, and there was just this big
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: sliding door and they're like, hey, whenever that door opens,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: y'all just start. So we were waiting there for probably
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: five minutes, but it felt like five hours, just waiting
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: at this door to slide open. And when it did, man,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: they walked through and we started the song and it
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: goes a little something like this. It's called growing old
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: with you. What's you say? We put this stance roots,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: find us some fun, travel around, put some pictures on ship,

• 26:24
  Speaker 1: little pretty. It's absolutely incredible good. It's so good. I

• 26:48
  Speaker 1: three are going to be unstoppable. So congratulations, really appreciate it. Now.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: We when we when we got this song, we knew
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: that this was like the perfect song to play a bachelor.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's like what you go on. I feel
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: like what the song embodies is finding that person, that
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: person that you want to grow up with. And I
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: feel like this is hopefully And now I'm not saying
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: that that we're the reason, but you know, if they
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: happen to go on and get married, they might have
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: been because of this song. You never know that that
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: moment was created, So I don't know. I mean, the
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: perfect story planted the sea, That's all I'm saying. You're right.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: I can't wait to the season finale when they do
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: a highlight reel of the season of their love story
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: and this is the song behind. I do think it's perfect,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: and I really think this will be a good a
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: good thing for you all. I hope it is. I
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: hope it really uh launches this song into a whole
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: new sphere. That's why it's so excited. Have you on here,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: But if you can take off your musician hats for
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: a second. Let's be Bachelor fans for just a few
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: moments here together. Um, you know, you you got to
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: meet Clayton, I'm assuming for a period of time. What's
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: your thoughts on Clayton? Uh? And you're probably short interaction,
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: but interaction with him, you know, Clayton was a really
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: really nice guy. You know, we didn't know what to
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: expect going into it, but he was super welcoming to us.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: He was super thrilled to have us there, and we
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: found out that he was a brand new country fan.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: He said he had been listening to country about eight months,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: so he had discovered us and a few other artists
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: that we know. And um, he was just super cool,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: asking us questions about how, you know, all the country
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: music stuff works and kind of what we do. So
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: it couldn't have been a better interaction. For real, he
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: made us look so small too. He's a very very
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: muscular guy. Realized how big he is until your standing
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: beside It never felt smaller in my life. What about Rachel,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they were they were all over you know
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: that their their vibe off camera was definitely they were
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: drawn to each other. They were definitely like getting closer
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: and closer every as you know, as time went on,
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: and you could definitely tell there was a connection there.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: And um, yeah, Clayton was just so down to earth
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: and and and genuine. So yeah, it really felt like
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: they were definitely very very into each other. Did you
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: get to talk to her? Yeah, we did. She was
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: they both were kind of standing there. We we we
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: took some pictures with both of them and got to
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: talk to her. She's bubbly, She's just her personality. She's
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: just very bubbly. And uh it honestly, like Zach said,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: I feel like they just you could really tell. I mean,
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: it's one thing when you're own camera, but it's another
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: thing to see off camera. And their their connection was
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: definitely there was there was a lot there. So what Okay?
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: I kind of have to two questions back to back
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: for you. The first is when I've always wondered, is
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: it awkward or weird for you all to be singing
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: performing looking out at two people just necking right in
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: front of you. Sou well, yes, We've been trying to
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: tell everybody this. It was. It was so difficult. This
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: was the mos difficult part about for performing on the show.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Despite our nerves. Was just that they were they were
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: literally about five feet away from us, and uh and
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: you know we're this song is you know, pretty intimate,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: romantic and serious and all that. So we're trying to
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: give this really honest, genuine performance. But it was super
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: difficult not to like, you know, laugh because of the
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: PA was so strong. It was so strong. I mean,
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know, they didn't come up for air. I'm
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: not gonna lie. Well, that was the connection. I mean,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: that's what we were talking about. I mean even off camera.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: I mean once the once the filming part was over,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: I mean they were still kissing, still hugging, still talking.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: So I mean it was it was really really interesting situation.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: I don't think we've ever performed like that. See, we
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: were hoping we were going to get mean at some
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: point in time, because there's gotta be one of like
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: this really weird face. There's got oh that that I've
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: always wondered because, you know, being on those dates myself,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: it was awkward for me, Like it's hard to be like,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: all right, like three people are standing five feet from me,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: singing to me, looking at me, and I'm supposed to
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: be like in the moment. The next question then, because
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: of the awkwardness, the cool part of it, the connection
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: that you've got to be around the production, the whole thing.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: You were there in the moment. You're part of this show.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: Are you gonna be bigger fans of the Bachelor Bachelor
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: or do you feel like now it's been ruined for
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: you because you've now seen it all? I've never felt
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: more all. Yeah, I mean so, I mean it's going
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: to be the most dramatic season in Bachelor history. I mean,
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: oh always. So. I mean I think it's just made us,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: you know, love the show even more. I mean, we
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: we talked about it. I mean now we get we
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: kind of feel like we're a part of Bachelor history.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: I mean it's one that, like you, we can go
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: back now and watch this season whenever we want, and
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: we're going we're going to be on there. So I mean,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: I think it definitely made us bigger fans of the show.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: You'll be on Wikipedia. You know how you can go
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: on Wikipedia. You put the Bachelor and Restless road and hey,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: you're connected, and we can go back on Hulu and
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: watch it anytime we want. After we can we can
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: go back and live in the moment again. You know
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: what I want to know about your experience on X Factor?
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: How how was it working with Simon cow Well, you
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: know that was what eight eight or nine years ago now,
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: and uh, I just remember at that time, we were
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: just out of high school, so we were about eighteen
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: years old and coming from really small towns in West
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Virginia and Iowa and stuff, and coming to l A
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: and kind of being thrown to the circus that was
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: you know, the X Factor, and it was so much fun.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: We got to meet so many talented people and artists
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: and having Simon as our mentor you know, a lot
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: of people think Simon's a really tough guy and he
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: can be, but I really felt like having him on
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: our side was the best case scenario. Like he was
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: our I guess, our leader or are in our category
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: we were he was our Yoda basically. I mean, he's
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: one of those people that if he loves you, he'll
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: go to at I mean then he's he's roasting everybody
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: else in the room just to make you looking for that.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: He's so funny, funny too. I felt like he was
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: just had a ton of personality and yeah, he was
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: He's someone I wish we could, Uh, we haven't really
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: seen him since the show. I would love to reconnect
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: with Simon and and uh, you know, show him this
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Bachelor performance and say, hey, look how far we've come. Man.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: It did it did kind of give me flashback like PTSD,
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: like when we were on the set of The Bachelor,
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: because so much is the same when you're on those
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: shows and and and the filming process, and I was like,
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of stuff that I loved about it,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: like being on the show, and then there's a lot
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: of stuff that like the late nights, like the grueling
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: long hours of filming and doing the same things over
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: and over again. It's the hurry up and wait game,
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: I feel like, and so we that's what we were
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: talking about like that night. It's like, oh god, I
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: don't miss these late, long hours of filming. One of
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: our moments from The X Factor that felt the most similar,
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: like a parallel to The Bachelor, was we're like a
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: few episodes into The X Factor and like Demilovado and
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: the judges were like telling me, Zach, you're so you're
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: so stiff, you're so awkward on stage. You need to
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: like loosen you up. So the producers you know, that week,
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: you know, they filmed like a segment on every every
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: artist you know for the next episode. So they said, Zach,
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: we're gonna focus on you this episode, bring you out
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: of your show. And they dropped me in the middle
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: of somewhere in l A. I don't know, on a
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: street corner in l A and said, we're gonna have
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: you stand here and try to get girls phone numbers.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: And it doesn't matter how even today that would would
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: be horrible, but especially back then when I was eighteen,
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: I was I really was shy, especially with girls and stuff.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: And then to think, wow, they're gonna have all these
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: cameras in my face doing it, and uh, you know
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: I I got rejected many times in a row, and
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: until finally one girl I was able to get her
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: phone number. I gave her a compliment on her shirt
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: or something. I was like, could I have your number?
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: And she gave it to me, and I was so
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: nervous I couldn't even like, I couldn't even type it in.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: But I was like, I think the camera guy got it,
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: so we're good. They didn't set you up for success, though,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, they dropped you on a street corner, and
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: I've never felt more embarrassed or like or like just
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: put on the spot in my entire life. You said
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: they didn't set him up for success. They did because
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: he instantly became the fan favorite right after that. I
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: remember that because I was vulnerable. He was very vulnerable.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: Have y'all have y'all figured out what the word is?
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: There actually a word that the Bachelor like picks every
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: year that they want to focus on, because this year
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: it's appreciative. Appreciative. That's that's the one that I've I've
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: seen them sneak into quite a bit. You're right, there
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: is always a keyword. Like Hannah Brown season it was bold.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: Vulnerable is a big one. Michelle was like, I want
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: to be seen. See that's that's how That's how deep
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: we got. That's how deep we dive into the batchelor.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: We notice the little things. Mine was unloved. Mine was unlovable,
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: and I just got um man, uh, well, hey, we're
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: gonna let you guys go here, but I do want
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: to end it. Thanks for sharing the stories, Thanks for
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: being a part of the show coming on. And um
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: it is a beautiful song, and and Tristan I and
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: this whole almost famous podcast really one s two, our
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: you three to be a huge success and we live
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: forward to watching that happen and hope it comes from
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: the show. But for you all, as we close out,
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: um this little segment with you, what where do you
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: hope your musical career goes? What are your guys goals?
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: What what would you like our listeners to know about
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: Restless Road now coming into a really bright future ahead?
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: Well man, we always say, you know, our our real
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: goal is just to be the biggest country music band
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: in the world. And uh that's a very broad statement,
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: I know, but U and that could really mean a
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: lot of things. But really where we're at today is,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: you know, in the past couple of years, we've been
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: able to start going on tour, opening up for like
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: Kane Brown, got to put these songs out and uh,
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: really we've just seen the ball start to roll now
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: and we're about to go on our first headlining tour.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: So our goal really is just to be able to
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: play and meet as many fans as possible and hopefully
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: get a song on the radio. Would be great. I
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: know that's a huge goal for us, and uh, I
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: think it's like really important for us as a as
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: a band, Like we tend to not set goals that
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: are like we we do have goals that are like
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: five ten years out and those kind of things, But
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: ultimately it's setting what do we want to accomplish this
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: year and um like that. That's what we did last
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: year and we knocked two of our biggest ones off
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: our bucket list, the Bachelor and the grand O Offering,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: and both in the same year. So I think it's
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: just important to what figure out what these goals are
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: for this year. Like Zach said, we're we're going on
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: our headline tour. We hope to have a song at
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: radio this year. Who knows, uh A c M Awards,
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: c M as CMT Awards, those are all those are
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: all things, But ultimately, I think really just for us,
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: it's just kind of we've made a ton of new
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: fans this year, and I think more importantly, we just
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: want to get out and meet as many of those
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: people as possible. So well, it's awesome. Yeah, thanks for
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: joining us, Restless Road everybody, Thanks again for coming on
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: the show. Thank you for being a part of the podcast.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: We will be watching and Trista, I know and myself
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: are huge fancy Also, thanks for coming on, Thanks for
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: appreciate it. Thanks guys, good luck Trisa. They're pretty fantastic,
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: aren't they. Like what a great band. I love that song.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not lying. I love that song. It's
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: it's an incredible love song. It is, and it really
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: does make me want Rachel and Clayton to end up
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: together just so they have that song. I always think
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: about if it's not the person, like if he hands
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: was up with somebody else, and that song was so
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: iconic for the episode. I wish that whoever ends up
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: together has that song. I don't know, so I really
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: hope that it's Rachel. Now. Um yeah, I think they're amazing.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: I really think they have a bright future ahead of them,
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: and I'm really honored that I got to meet him.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: So thanks for having me to guest host, right, I mean,
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: and and like kind of really cool that they're huge
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: fans of the show. You can tell they're actually like
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: big fans of the show. And I thought they were
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: joking when they first said one of their goals was
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: the performing The Bachelor, But now that they did that
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: and their episode just aired, right. I mean that's a
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: huge milestone for them. Can you just imagine a bunch
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: of teenage kids being like, oh, I hope one day
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: to be performed a on The Bachelor. Now they get
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: to celebrate that success. That's a big deal. That is
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: really cool. I mean to be able to be on
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: ABC and with the audience that they have and millions
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: of people out there, and millions of people who will
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: probably you know, do instagrams, worries or snaps or you
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: know whatever TikTok's of their song. Like I am really
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: excited for them. Yeah, yeah, it's a big deal. Well, okay,
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: so we talked about the date with Rachel that they
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: have a connection. It's very obvious they have a good
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: thing going. She's definitely one of the fan favorite. She's
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: definitely a favorite here um this season. I mean, I
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: think we can close that date up there and just
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: say like this, there was a good date. There was
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: a lot to happen, and the connection was very obvious. Yeah.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: I love her, I really do. Really, So now the
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: next day is a big group date. Sarah, Aliza Teddy, Marlena, Jill, Susie, Morrissy,
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: Era Hunter, Lindsay Genevieve, Gabby and here's the big one.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: Girls aren't thrilled. Jenney joined the group date Um. At
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: this point, Elizabeth has gone, but the other women involved
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: are really starting to get frustrated. There's really starting to
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: speak up on this date Um that is not bringing
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: a positive vibe to the girls around them. And it's
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: very obvious after this day, very obvious. I mean, he
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: he notices that there's no football in involved in the
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: tackle situation that's happening. I think it was with Sia
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: and Say and I think he asked Sara about it,
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: you know, what was going on there, because clearly you
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: didn't have the ball, she didn't have the ball, so
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: what's happening? And she was just like, oh, well I
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: didn't know you couldn't tackle if they didn't have the ball. UM,
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: which is funny to me. Yeah, yeah, it's It is
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: funny because I think it's pretty obvious typically, like I mean,
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: I feel like most people sports fans are not I
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: know that just randomly hitting somebody with no clear intention
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: behind it is it's just probably not a good move
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: athletics or not. UM. But a lot of this group
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: date to me and tell me if you think I'm
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: wrong for staff if like, um, it's a good as
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: a fine group, big group days or what they are.
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: But a lot of it was kind of like hovering
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: around the idea of, Hey, we're going to talk to
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: Clayton about like the other girls are going to step
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: in and say something. It's kind of an underlying theme
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: of this whole day. They just don't exactly know when
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: to do it because they're all getting frustrated with the situation. Yeah,
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: I actually I like that they kind of came up
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: with a plan to say something so that it was
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: a it was a group effort, so it wouldn't waste
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: one person's time with him, you know, and so that
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: he knew that they were all serious because he's not
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: seeing what they are seeing of of her and shrimp
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: gate and and and her behavior. I just I think
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: it's great that they came together as a group. I
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: really do. Um. I think it's unfortunate obviously that she
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: heard them talking and then decide it too. And who
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: knows if a producer told her that it was going
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: on and gave her the initiative or the idea to
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: go interrupt the group date. But I've never thought that
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: was cool, Like if you didn't get invited on a date,
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: then maybe don't show up. I don't know. I just
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: think it's disrespectful. Call me crazy. I'm traditional, even though
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: I was on a very untraditional dating show. You know.
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: I just I don't know. I I think there's something
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: negative about that, But clearly he didn't think so, because
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: he really liked his time with her, puts her up
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: on a bar, they make out, you know. Um, he
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: was having it. So I mean, it is his journey,
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: so I'll give him that. I just I wish he
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: would um tune in to the red flags. It is
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: his journey, and I have to remember that. I have
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: to because I watch it. I go, what is he doing?
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: This is inappropriate, This doesn't seem right, This is going
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: overre good. But it is his journey, and that's what
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: we tuned in for, right to watch Clayton operate this
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: thing and do this thing. Um and and it shows
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: me once again, Trista again, I don't know Clayton as
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: a dude at all. I cannot speak too is I
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: can't speak to what kind of guy is? I'm watching
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: him from a seat, you know, I'm the armchair expert
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: sitting here watching him be the bachelor. At some point,
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: at some point, he has to pick up on these signs.
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: At some point. It's very like there's enough now happening
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: in front of him, there's enough things being said to him,
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: there's enough drama being associated around her that at some
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: point he has to pick up the signs. And if
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: if at this point he hasn't, I do think that's
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: on him, Like I think he has to take credit
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: for that, because this is no longer he's naive for
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: the situation. But he's seen it, he's experienced it well.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: And and I'm interested to know if he will find
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: out about the trophy, you know, about her, about her
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: behavior walking up to the girls, grabbing the trophy, throw
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: on it, in the bushes or wherever it went. Um,
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: I'm interested to know how he'll react to that, because
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: to me, that would be like, are you kidding me? Like,
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: what is she two years old? Yeah? Well, I mean
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: honestly though, just like what I was referencing too, is
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: if somebody were to crash a group during the time
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: that I was the bachelor, that would be a red flag,
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: right because you're the most supportive people there, which were
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: the ones I was most attracted to. We're also the
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: ones that understood the situation I was in, Like, Hey,
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: you're dating a lot of us. This probably isn't easy.
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: You're probably really really tired, Like you're probably exhausted at
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: this point. I'm going to give you the space you
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: need to be the best you can be um and
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: then when my time is there, I'm gonna meet the
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: most of it. I'm gonna be there beside you and
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: for you and for somebody. Just Randy show up and
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: take up the time of the women that deserve to
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: be there would have been a red flag. I think
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: at that point. That's what I'm saying, is like he
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: has to see it now. The one thing I want
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: to do is as we close out the breakdown of
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: this episode, I do want to mention one of the
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: fan favorites that we haven't seen a lot from. We've
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: been missing her. She jumped off the page at us
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: UH night one was a fan favorite. Everybody was talking
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: about her. Teddy finally kind of has her moment again.
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: It's not a big moment, a long moment, but it's
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: a moment with Clayton where they share a kiss, they
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: talk again, they flirt a little bit. It's good to
• 46:35
