  Speaker 3: Tolbert whatever. Anyone wants one month.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: To call me, okay, well, yeah, all right, this is
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: I always do this. I don't know why I go
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: on tangents with girls who have got married. I guess
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: it's because, like I have this little guilt that I
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: haven't changed my name. Oh because every time I have
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: like a girlfriend on the podcast that is like married
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: and like known by Bachelor Nation by both names, I'm like,
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: what did you do? Because I just don't know, but
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: I don't want to go through the effort. I like
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: my name and I like seem too, and the Bachelor
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: may be more attached my name obviously with Dawson is
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: hey course. Yeah, so you know that's the only reason
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: to do it is to have the lesson last name
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: as your kids.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: It doesn't bother me though, because people will ask me that.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: They're like, doesn't it bother you that you have a
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: different name.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Than your kids.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah no, yeah, I don't know, because they're my flesh
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: and blood. Anyway, it's the name doesn't mean anything to me.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: I guess, yeah, that's true. The only thing is when
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: you like go to the airport and they're like, oh,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: is this your kid? Are you stealing this kid? I
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: have had that look before. Yeah, so all right, let's
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: talk about bachelor stuff because we are here at the
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: wedding and it is I you're my first interview of
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: the day, so like, let's just be honest about this,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: and like, I, well, first, I've never been to a
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: wedding where I've never met the people before, so that's weird.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: And secondly, I've never been at a wedding that has
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: felt so rush. And then I think about your wedding
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: and I was like, that was seven months. You guys
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: knew each other for seven months, and I guess Teresa
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: and Gary have known each other four to five months. Now,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: why did yours to me feel so much different? I
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: guess it's because I just knew you guys, and I
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: watched your relationship.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: It's probably because you were there. Yeah, you watched me
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: and Tanner like fall in love. You like knew our relationship.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Where we don't know Gary and Teresa, and while we have,
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: like we watched them on TV, it's still like, I
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: don't know, nobody does this.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: It's not normal. It's just so wacky. I don't I
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: don't know, Like they've only been public for a month, Yeah,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: so they've only been able to like hang out and
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: do normal people's stuff for a month and it's not
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: even like they've had the time to do that with
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: the holidays and just all the press that they've had
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: to do. This is so crazy to me, Like I'm sorry,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Like I don't think I could do it. I mean
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: I did it, I know, and you did it. That's
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: why you're like the perfect person to talk to. Yeah,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I mean I saw.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Them last night and it was like I hugged her
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: and I shook his hand.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: I was like, thank you for letting me crash your wedding.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but they did seem like she was glowing and
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: they seemed really happy. And I guess like at that age,
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: maybe it's just like we know what we want now
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: and we have this connection, So why not I don't know,
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Like you think it's not the paycheck, and probably the
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: paycheck because they're definitely getting I think a bigger paycheck
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: than you and Tanner.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Got for sure. For sure. Are you willing to talk
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: about how much? Is it a non disclosure thing about
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: how much you made? I don't know, I mean, I
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: don't know. It was triple it was it was it
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: was six figures, right, but it wasn't high six figures
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: low six. Yeah, you guys like low combined, combined combined
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: the low oh you each got combined you had low
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: six figures. Yeah, okay. And the free wedding, which the wedding.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: The wedding I can say was they told us it
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: was over a million dollars value with everything with like
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: because they flew our family in and they paid for
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: all of that, everyone's accommodations, like you think about flowers, food, alcohol, It.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Was open bar for a Bachelor Nation. Yeah.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Everyone was wasted at my wedding. They were a lot
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: of alcohol.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: They were.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: So I do know that value, I'll say that.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: So I'm imagining this will be as equal or.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Higher and of value the wedding. And then I do
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: you think they're getting a bigger paycheck just because they
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: are just huge names right now? Like, oh my gosh,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: I mean that they got the franchise.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: I loved the season.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So what were you thinking about Teresa? Do you
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: think that she was gonna possibly make top top one?
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: She was not my pick? Yeah, she was not my pick.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: I really liked Faith me she was my pick. And
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: I really liked Ellen.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: I loved Ellen. Ellen was for me. Yeah, do you
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: know what I mean? Like I knew Ellen wasn't for him.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it was exactly, but no, she was not
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: my pick, and I actually, like I was a little
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: like angry. I was like, he's gotta pick her, I
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: know it. But then I met her last night and
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: she seems lovely, so it's very nice.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just so crazy that I'm attending somebody's wedding.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: I know. I wonder how did that feel for you?
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Was that annoying that you had so many strangers at
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: your wedding?
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: It wasn't annoying. It was just kind of weird in
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: a sense. But then we just kind of got over it,
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: I think, and they did do the best that they
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: could to make it feel like our wedding, but still
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: we were limited. We were only allowed to invite ninety
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: people of our own, Yeah, which adds at fast, Like
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: I didn't even have like some cousins who couldn't come
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: and everything. And then there was like at least sixty
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: people there that were strangers. So yeah, and they were
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: like random Dalist actors there and was like, who, like
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Kevin Marino was there?
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: I don't even know that. My gosh, did you ever
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: watch party?
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: Was it party down? Can Marino? Can Marino? She looks
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: kind of familiar. He's funny, and he did buy me
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: a wedding gift.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: That's sweet. Yeah. Jason Biggs was there. Oh, that's right,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: but he's a he's a Bachelor fan, so that kind
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: of makes sense. And his wife was doing some of
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: the reunion or like at the recap shows. Yeah, yeah,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: that's right. Okay. How annoyed were some of the family
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: members and friends of Beyond the ninety that they couldn't
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: come to the weddingcause everybodys gonna want to go to
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: televis wedding.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know what, Like some of my family was hurt,
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: you know, because but then it was like I can't
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: I just blamed it on the shell.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: It's like I have zero control over this, Like you
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: didn't make the cut. I'm sorry, Okay, yours wasn't live though, No,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: and that is that I can't believe this one is like,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: how how is this going to be live tonight? I
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: am so confused. Does Trista's live? I do believe they've
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: done him when the before in the past, like I
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: remember like having to tune in at a certain time
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: and like it like being like, oh my god, I
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: can't believe this is happening now maybe it was. Was
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: it Sean and Catherine's or Ashley and JP or something
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: like that, but one of those rings of bell as
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: being live as well. Yeah, but like this is so
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: much work for them, and I don't even know how
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: they're going to fill up the two hours because I
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: guess the ceremony will be forty five minutes and then
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: what are they get to show? So it's going to
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: show reception, you think.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: I think they'll show like that pre cocktail hour before
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: the wedding, because that's what they did at ours.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: So we were stuck.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: I remember I was in like my bridal suite and
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: everyone else was like downstairs. They made us stay back,
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: and like all the Bachelor Nation alum were downstairs drinking,
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: and I think they were like interviewing at that point,
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: and then they were I don't I don't know, but
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I have no idea how that And
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: they'll probably cut to like maybe they'll interview like couples
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: and they'll be like, here's a recap of their love story.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Do you think they have like prepackage? Maybe?
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Because how would you else?
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. I also I want
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: to know how it is financially like fee like not feasible,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: but like worth it to them to send all of
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: us out for this, to pay for all our flights,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: to pay for all the rooms. I'm like, you think
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: that our little blip on TV are the presence of
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: the wedding means this much? I mean like thank you,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: but wow, Like do you think that it would have
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: been just fine with Bachelor Nation if it was just
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: the Golden Bachelor cast? Yeah?
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: But I also think that with the show just the
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: past few years, how I don't feel like viewership has
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: been as high and they're really writing on this Golden
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: Bachelor love story that.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: They want to bring in.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: They brought in a lot of like success couple.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: I think that this is like a big show off,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Like it's like a show and tell of like how
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: guess what we actually do work? And you forgot about
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: them and you forgot about that. Because people have.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Been complaining, especially after this last Bachelor in Paradise where
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: no couples came out of it. They're just like they're
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: not casting the right people anymore and no love stories
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: happen anymore. So they're like, look what.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: We have for you. They actually have a they have Okay,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: we have a ton. We have a ton of Bachelor
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: and Paradise stories. And there's a couple that I don't
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: think that are here today, and that frustrates me. I'm like,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: if we're gonna do this for everyone, is here, even
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: those that people that like Bachelor maybe doesn't like want
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: to have here Like okay, well, like I would love
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: to have them on to discuss this, but I hear that,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: like Dylan and Hannah don't have the greatest relationship with
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: the show, and I don't think that they're going to
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: be here. Yeah that's right. And then okay, well obviously
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Joe and serena great relationship, but they're not going to
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: be here great relationship with the show, I mean. And
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: then Sean and Catherine also and Jojo and Jordan. I
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: wanted to see everyone here together so we could have
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: a big parade of the successes. Yeah, yeah, it's fine. Well,
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: and it's also just an ironic week for them to
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: have this wedding since like one of their couples that divorce.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Isn't it crazy? We don't talking about Rachel and Brian, guys.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: But isn't it crazy that a couple of years ago
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: we had the most amazing track record of marriages staying
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: together and then in like three years we've had four
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: divorces COVID just you know, it all happened that COVID
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: is Ashley and JP, Carly and Evan, and then Crystal
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: and Chris and then now Rachel and Brien.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: Life is hard, you know, Like I don't know, marriage
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: is hard sometimes, and so I feel like there's so
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: much pressure on bachelor people to not be normal humans
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: and have these like fairy tale relationships still, so it's
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: like it sucks like or sex, and people are gonna
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: assume what they want to assume, and people get divorced
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: and stuff. But I feel, I don't know, there's a
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: part of me that has like a soft spot like
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: feel for them because they have to go through this
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: publicly and that's not easy already. Like I mean, I
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: remember when Carly got divorced, like how hard it was
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: for her, and it's like then you have to deal
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: with all the opinions and.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: I mean literally watch your relationship. Yeah, And I get it.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: So invested we put ourselves in that position, and it
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: is how we make our livings. And so it's like,
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: I get that it has a right to be public
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: in some way, but like, I mean, hergs is hard
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: and then throw in all the whatever in the public
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: eye staff. So yeah, but it's juicy right now. And
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: then we have two people here, I mean, we'll go there.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: Let's just go there, right.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: We have two people coming to the wedding today that
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: probably don't want to see each other, and that would
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: be probably probably Caitlin and Tasha, because we have Caitlin
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: this week seeing that she spent New Year's with Zach Clark.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Tasha's X. How do you think that this my go tonight?
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Do you think? Oh? And I hate that. I hate
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: even bring this up because you and I I became
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: drama at your wedding with Jared and they made my
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: story part of your wedding episode. Do you think that
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: they'll bring drama from Bachelor Nation into the episode tonight?
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: They have to? Oh? Really you think so?
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah? I think so. I feel like they love this stuff.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean we you know, we as podcasters love
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: this stuff too. As friends, we hope the best for everyone,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: but we I was just thinking that because people have
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: loved The Golden Bachelor for its lack of drama, that
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: maybe they weren't going to bring that into tonight. But
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: it's so fresh. How do they not capitalize? Oh my god,
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: I'm just thinking as an evil producer right now. Obviously.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Yes, No, I definitely think producers will be scheming tonight.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Really, yes, okay.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: I think because, like you said, there has to be
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: other parts to this special. Yeah, because the wedding's not
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: gonna last two hours, and no, it'll be just boring
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: watching a normal wedding. They're gonna pull people aside. There's
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: gonna be scheming.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: All the producers from those Girls seasons are kind of gone,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: so I wonder who they're gonna be able to get to,
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: like really make them open up. Oh yeah, yeah, because
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: you need somebody trustworthy if they're gonna pull the limit
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: to an interview. All right, Well, we don't even know
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: what's gonna happen. But I'm being a drama queen right now.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: And honestly, because I love Tasha and Caitlin separately, I hope,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: I hope nothing but the best time tonight. They don't
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: get into drama.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: But I know that the I know Tanner will be
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: hoping it happens tonight.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: We love to narrate if he's able to be a
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: witness of it.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he wants to get the popcorn out, you know.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: All Right, Well, Jade, thanks so much for chatting with
• 13:59
