• 2:04
  Speaker 1: thank you for having me. Thank you so much. So
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: tell us a little bit about your life right now
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: post Bachelor. It's been man, it's been almost a decade.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Since a decade, it does not seem like it's been
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: that long. Wow, that is mind blowing. Um, do you
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: still see the effects of the Bachelor on your life today?
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Do do people still come up to you? Not as
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: often as they used to, but it still does happen.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I you know, Halloween, I was still dressed up with
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: a wig and I still had people recognizing me. So
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I guess my my smile kind of gives me away.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Has it affected your life overall, like the way that
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: some things will always get pressed and maybe you're dating life? Uh,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: you know, the first few years after The Bachelor were
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: really difficult because it kind of affected everything, uh, friendships, dating, um,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: even your career. I mean it's hard. People don't really
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: take you too seriously when you're a reality star. So
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: it took me a good five years after The Bachelor
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: to kind of, um see a change in that. Uh.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: It's still affects it to an extent, but not as
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: bad as it used to. Um. When it comes to dating, yeah,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: it was difficult because you never knew if people were
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: really dating you for the right reasons or not. I'm
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: saying with friends. Uh, luckily and it's been ten years.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: So I have a you know, my boyfriend. I've been
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: together for two and a half years. We plan on
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: getting married and having you know, a couple of babies.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: So love life wise, it's going really good. Uh. Friendship wise,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I have a really really great circle of women in
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: my life now, which was hard to come by. Um.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: So that is something I just I hold very dearly,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: is those friendships I have now. Um. And work wise,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I have my own recruiting company, uh, which is Change
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: of Pace. I started in about a year ago. And
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I'm also doing real estate. So yeah, my real estate
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: company is actually will you accept this home? Oh my goodness,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: that is amazing. Where can then where can people check
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: you out if they're looking for real estate? And from
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: what area? Dot accept this home? Dot com. I used
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: to have a buildboard up in Orlando and it was
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: me holding a rose and it said, you know, accept
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: this home and had like the rose was kind of
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: almost like the Disney one and it's kind of building
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: a house. So it was pretty pretty catchy genius marketing.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: That is amazing. Um. All right, so it seems like
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: everything is kind of come together in your life, which
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: is I'm very happy for you, especially since there was
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: some rough years over there. But I want to know, um,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: would you ever do reality TV again? He went back
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: and you did Bachelor Pad with your ex, So I
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: mean you're a risk taker in that department. Yeah, you know,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I'm not too big of a ristaker anymore. UM. You know,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: it's been many years since I've done anything UM on television,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: you know, related to you know, reality TV stuff. I
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: think the probably one of the only shows I would
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: even consider doing would be UM. My boyfriend I were
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: talking about this the other day. He actually used to
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: be a a professional basketball players. Seems like really athletic. UM
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: the not Survivor what's the one, amazing, amazing Race? So
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I would do Amazing Race. I think that that is
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: a really cool show. I really went to it. I
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: didn't even know if it's still on UM. And Dancing
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: with the Stars, I know I wanted to do Dance
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: with the Stars always. I did get a chance to
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: dance on it, which is really fun. UM, But to
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: be able to compete on it in dance, I think
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: that would be probably the only two things I would consider.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: I'm a competitive person, so I need to be on
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: something where I'm going to like work towards winning something,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: and I don't want to win. A guy kind of
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: lost in that department last time, Well you've won, but
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: you also lost, Like, yeah, I don't think you were, Um,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: so you have a new boyfriend. Can you tell us
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: a little about him, How long you've been together, how
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: you met? Yeah, we've been together for two and a
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: half years. We actually celebrated our tear anniversary. We went
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: on a trip to Europe for three weeks, which was
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I'd never been. So he took me to my um,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: you know, my grandparents are from. We visited his grandparents
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: in Bosnia, which is where he's from. Um, it was.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: We went to Paris. It was just it couldn't have
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: been more perfect. We met though through mutual friends. We were,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: you know, at a birthday party and kind of, you know,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: looking at each other across the we were. It was
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: a late party and we're kind of looking at each
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: other and caught my eye and a friend of ours
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: kind of saw us looking at each other and she
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: introduced us and said, actually, you two would be perfect together.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: And she was right, you know, then together ever since.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: I remember going home that night and I called my mom.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I said, Mom, I met the man I'm gonna married.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: And she's like what, and I was like, yes, I
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: met him today and he is perfect. I love those stories.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: He's my ink to my gang. I'm you know, loud,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: and I'm super fun and I love to be around people,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: and he's calm and he keeps me level headed and
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: he you know, he doesn't feel my crazy when I'm crazy. Um,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: we just we balanced each other so so well, it's
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: it's really really nice. That's so nice. You guys, we're
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: talking about having kids in the future, and you were
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: very open a couple of years ago and you had
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: a miscarriage of twins. They had twin twins US and
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: twin transfusion syndrome, which is when can you explain that
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: a little bit to our audience. Yeah, So there's a
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: couple of different types of twins. There's twins that have
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: their own amniotic sac and have their own placenta, right,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: and the placenta is actually what UM feeds them as baby,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: that's where the nutrients comes from. There's twin is that
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: share an amniotic sac and share a placenta. Then there's
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: twins that have their own amniotic sac but share a placenta.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: So that's what I had. So my girls were in
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: their own separate bags, right, but they shared a placenta.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: And sometimes what happens is UM kind of explain it.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: So people can understand is think of like a vein
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: going from the placenta to the baby, right, and that's
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: providing nutrients to each of them each have their own.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: One baby grew a much larger vein, so it's taking
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: a lot more of the nutrients than the other twin was.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: So what happens is that twin now grows a lot
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: faster and bigger, and the other one doesn't get as
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: much nutrients and doesn't grow like it should grow. So
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: what happened was because the other twin grew so much bigger,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: so much faster than the other one. My water actually
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: broke at five months early, so I went into labor
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: and unfortunately they weren't old enough to breathe, so they
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: were fully developed and they were born four weeks earlier.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: They could have survived. It's it's still to this day.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: I did four weeks later. Four weeks is all they
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: needed to be as four weeks older. Yeah, yeah, it
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: was a really traumatic thing. I had to um. I
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: had to deliver one and then I had d C
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: like they go in and they had to remove the
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: other twin um and I started going into septic shock.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: UM after my water had broken, I refused to let
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: them go because they saw a heartbeats. So about two
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: days into it, um, they said, you know, there there's
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: no heartbeats, so we have to you know, you have
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: to give birth to one of these babies or we
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: have to go in and remove because you're going to
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: get really sick. And um, I ended up getting really sick.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: I my fever went up to like one hundred and
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: four and just kept going. So I remember just like shaking.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: My whole body was just shaking, and the nurses were
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: literally just like throwing ice on me, like backs of ice,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: and um mm. I actually donated both my girls to
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: research to help you know, other mothers and them to learn,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: you know, why this happens. And so uh yeah, it's
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: taken me a few years to kind of accepted because
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: it is the hardest thing is accepting it. And recently
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: we had fratern fertility testing done um to see if
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: I would be able to have you know, babies again.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Um And as of a week ago, all my stuff
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: came back normals, really really good news. Yeah, I'm so
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: happy for you. Yeah. So yes, I think we're gonna
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: start dying because you know, I want two or three
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: and I want him now. Yeah awesome. Um, well recently,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: you you're pretty open about the plastic surgery that you had.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: It was a tiny tuck, right, No, I had a
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: body Well. You know what's funny is I read the
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: US Weekly and how completely incorrect it was. I had
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: one procedure done actually and what was that not in?
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: What I did was it's called body scope body sculpting,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: where basically they go in and make these little tiny incisions. Um.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Literally the incision is the size of your pinky nail,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: like the tip of your pinky ails. How little the
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: incision is. Um. And they go in and they basically
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: just do a really small amount of light though. So
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: I had kind of like a pregnancy pouch on my
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: lower stomach. So they went in there and they removed that,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: you know the fact that I had gained and then
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: you know, they did a little bit on my arms,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: back my arms and the center of my legs and
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: behind my legs. Um, kind of just make me look
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: like I did before. Because during my pregnancy I was
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: having a really hard time eating. I was throwing up
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: a lot. So the doctor literally were like, just eat,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: eat whatever you want, just eat. So I got into
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: a you know diet where I breakfast every morning and
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: I would snack and then I have lunch, then another snack,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: and then dinner, and then I wake up in then
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: all night and have peanut butter and jelly sandwich and origin.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: This sounds like a dream. So I started getting weight,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: which was good, That's what I needed to But then,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: you know, after my miscarriage, my body was kind of
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: still on that diet, so I kept still eating that way,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: and then, you know, for the first year after that,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: I was really really depressed and I didn't want to
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: work out. I didn't want to go out. I just
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: didn't want to do anything. Like I just wanted to
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: be this home body. I didn't want to be around people.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: It was really hard for me. So then I just
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: kind of kept gaining weight. I got up to like
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: a hundred and fifty pounds, and just so you know,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: on the show, I was a hundred twenty pounds barely.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: I know, when people see me, you know, before the pregnancy,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: everyone's like, why you're so tiny in person. I was like,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: I know, TV really does make just like a lot
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: than um. So I just wanted that little bit of weight,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: you know, taken off, just so I kind of could
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: look in the mirror and not feel um that loss anymore.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: It's really hard because every single day I would I
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: would get up and I would get ready, and I
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: would look at myself, and every time I looked at
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: my body, I thought I would think of my girls,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: and it just became this just pain every single day,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: and I needed to not feel that anymore so I
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: can recover and I can move past it. And so
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: that's where we are now. You have you obviously were
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: kind of I don't want to say forced to be
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: honest about the miscarriage, but since you did deliver them
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: at five months, um, and you had already announced that
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: you're pregnant, you had to be honest with the following
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: about it. But there's a lot of taboo. I did
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: a whole Um. I have another podcast called I Don't
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Get It, and we did a whole I Don't Get
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: miscarriages and all the taboos that come along with it,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: and kind of how women just feel shamed that, you know,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: you can't even announce your probably mine until three months
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: because of a risk that it may you know, fall apart.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Is there anything that you want to share with our
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: audience about just women and how frequent miscarriages are, and
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: how they should be able to just talk freely about
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: it because so many women go through it. I think
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: it's one and ten. What is it, one in five
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: women will experience it or something like that, something pretty
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: close to that. UM. I think the crazy number is
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: one in five pregnancies and in miscarriages. Actually, oh, that's it.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: That was one of the five pregnancies will end in miscarriage.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Most miscarriages do happen within the first uh first month
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: or first three months usually. UM. To have a miscarriage
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: five plus months is pretty rare, and you kind of
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: see those in very rare situations kind of, you know,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: with twins especially. I knew I was a high risk ignancy. UM.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: But it is a taboo and you don't hear people
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: talk about it. Women do feel ashamed of it, which
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: they shouldn't. It's not their fault. And I think that
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: was one of the main reasons why I wanted to
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: open up and talk about it, is because when it
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: happened to me, I felt so alone. I felt ashamed
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: that I felt so I didn't know what to do,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: and it wasn't until it happened that my mom started
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: opening up about her miscarriages. And you know, I was
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: an eight, I was a rainbow baby for my mom.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: My sister was a rainbow baby. So my mom had
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: actually had a miscarriage before me, several after me, but
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: you didn't know, you know, I knew she had had
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: a miscarriage. I didn't know to the extent of the night.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Didn't know when they happened. I didn't know much about it,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: you know, because she just didn't talk about it. So
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: I learned that, you know, she had had some long
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: miscarriages that happened months down the road when she was pregnant,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: and then she had something happened early on, but she
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: had she had experienced the pain I've gone through, and um,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: you know, hearing her talk about it, it made me
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: feel um if it made me feel safe, I didn't
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: feel ashamed anymore. I felt more comfortably able to talk
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: to her about it. Uh. And then after that, you know,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: there was other family members and really good friends of mine,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: because you know, the first couple of weeks after it happened,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: I was in bed rest and I didn't talk about
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: it yet. It wasn't until after you know, that I
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: wrote the post and announced it and literally the shelves
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: had just been posted with UM a magazine about my
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: gender review and I'm thinking, oh my god. UM. So
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: my close friends and family knew about it, and people
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: started opening up to me and talking to me, and
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: it blew my mind that some of my best friends
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: that I know everything about had never shared it with me,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: or shared it with anybody UM or family members had
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: you know, had these miscarriages and they don't talk about it.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: And I, you know, I didn't understand. I said, why
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: don't Why don't we talk about this between each other?
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: I go, because now that we are talking about it,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: we all are feeling a healing, like we feel like
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: we are healing finally UM. And I think even with
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: my mom, you know, talking to me about it, she
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: felt like after thirty years, she's finally now healing. And
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: a lot of things, especially with pain, we kind of
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: push it down. And you know, one thing, you know,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: I did talk to a therapist UM for a little while,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: and once they say is when when you push those UM,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: those feelings down, the bad feelings, right, they actually create
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: you suppressing good feelings UM. And they create this UM
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: very like, I don't know how to explain it. Um,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: they just make you very numb to anything good bad
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Um, And you don't want that to happen.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: So she says, the best thing to do is talk
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: about it. It just talked about it. I know that
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: sounds so cliche, but it is talk about it. And
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: so I knew, being in the public eye, I had
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: to let people know what's going on, you know. I
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: remember in the hospital or not in the hospital. When
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: I first got out of the hospital, I was still
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: getting text messages and messages through fans telling them congratulations.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: I like. And I had a couple of my girlfriends
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: who had sent me at sea gifts for for me
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: that I still haven't opened. I still have them. They
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: told me when they found out about the mistage. They said,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: don't open the packages. You know we sent you, keep them,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: save them. You will be a mom one day, and
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: when you became a mom, opened our presence for you.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: So I still have those wrapped up. Never looked at him.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: I don't even know what they are. UM. So I
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: knew I had to come out and I had to
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: talk about it. And when I did, the amount of
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: support and women who reached out to me and told
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: me about their own stories. Um they were really it
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: was really sad, but all of a sudden, I just
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: had this circle of women who we could support each
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: other and lean on each other and talk about things.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: And there was also a lot of really positive stories.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: There was women that would talk about their miscarriages and
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: now their rainbow babies or they've got three kids now,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: and so then it created this just overflow of hope
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: for me and I realized it's not the end of
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: the world. And I know this sucks, and I know
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: it hurts, it's hard, but guess what, I'm still gonna
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: be able to be a mom one day. Whether I
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: have my own baby or I adopt the baby, I'm
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: still going to be a mom one day. Um. So
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: having those women a part of my life, um, really
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: was what helped me kind of pick myself back up
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: and keep going. I'm so grateful for you for sharing that,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: and I think that so many other people need to
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: be as open about it as you because it does
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: help that healing process. And I just wanted to leave
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: by saying that the next time you're on this podcast,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: I hope it's you talking about your rainbow babies. I
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: really and if you come on, if you want to
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: talk about the babes. Yeah, well, you know, we're we
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: are in the process of you know, trying but not
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: trying but still kind of shying, like you to pull
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: the goalie, but you're not doing as much effort as
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: they require. Possibly think we're not you know, planning it out,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: but we're not preventing it from happening kind of thing.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: So if it happens, I think we'll be really happy
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: it happens. But I think that sometimes when you put
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: too much pressure on it, that actually prevents you from
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: getting pregnant. So we're just you know, just letting you Yes,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: it's enjoying the joy. Um. Yeah, and we know we've
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: discussed their options, and we've discussed adopting, which is definitely
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: something we'd be open to. I even told him even
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: if we have our own kid, I'd still be open
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: to adopting. Um. And I don't even care to adopt
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: a baby, you know, I'm okay adopting a toddler, you know,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: I'm I don't know, I just want children really bad.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, we really hope that you have that soon.
• 20:51

• 20:54

• 24:14
  Speaker 1: been great. Yeah, it's been fun. I mean, like, are
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: you going to ever say anything other than that it's
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: been great? I mean, I mean you have one I
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: guess the only thing. We fight? I mean we getting
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: fights every so often. I feel like we're professional arguers.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: I think that's how it is when you get to this,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: like like a year and a half into a relationship,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: there's just a lot more bickering because you're so comfortable
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: with each other that you don't keep any annoyances in.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Oh no, yeah, we're really open with each other. She's
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: she's a good arguer. So it's yeah, you know, sometimes
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: with drives me crazy. I can't. I'm the kind of
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: person that this is my tea. Okay, just six so
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: on the type of person that if if we're fighting,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: can't quote a bad address me. Joe is always the
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: bigger person. I'm so stubborn. What I do is like
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: I'll leave the room. I'll go I'll go into then
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: and then I'll be like I'll be sitting there and
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: I'll be fuming, and then like half our way, I'll
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: kick the door back, and you make any sense, It's true.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: It's funny. I feel like I over I analyze conversations
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: and like I remember every detail of it. So you know,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: it's it's hard. It's hard to escape me being right
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: that I've been right, I've been right, Joe has been right.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: I think two times Joe, I think he'll relate with
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: me in the way that like sometimes I'll say something
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: and Jared will pick it like he is so specific
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: about word choice. I'm like, okay, that is he'll interpret
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: it like one way. He's like, you said these words together,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, that was not the connotation that I
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: was in Are you kidding me? Like, you know, I
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: didn't mean that. He's like, well, that's what you said,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, are you kidding me? So I feel
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: like Kendle is the exact same way, where she's gonna
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: like analyze about intention. I'll be proving a point and
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: then she'll bring back like what I said, and she'll
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: just keep saying it, and I'll be like, all right, fine,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: I said that and I didn't mean it. Don't even
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: know what I said. All right, I just said it.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: I wish you know what's so great? I feel like
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: we just need to be more open about especially since
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: we're in like these public relationships where everything that they
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: see on Instagram is pretty and I'm not like, I
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: don't think you need to go on Instagram and be like,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: our relationship isn't as wonderful as it seems to do
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: this to do that, but I think it interviews, it's
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: fun to be like, no, like, of course, it's not
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: fluffy and pleasant in our house all the time exactly.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, we get along along easy for me to
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: say it's pretty latly, it's been pretty fluffy. I don't
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: think we've had an argument, but it's it's coming, and
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna tell you we're traveling. So tomorrow
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: we're going to yeah, Japan, I don't know. I don't
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: know what you guys when this was recorded, they were
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: going to Japan. Easy fix. But we're gonna be doing
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of traveling that. We're going to Chicago for Thanksgiving. Yeah,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: the first time. I'm actually going to Joe's families in
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Chicago for Thanksgiving and for Christmas. What are you guys
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: doing Christmas? I think Joe's going to be coming come
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: into my place, so it's the first switch off. I
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: think we're going to do l A for Christmas. I
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: may stay in Chicago Christmas Eve and then fly out
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: on the morning because he were in l A all
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: the time and he doesn't get to see his family
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: as much. So but that's different with us. We have
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: both these coast families, so you know, one for one
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: once for the other. His parents are going to our
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: place for Thanksgiving. Now that's really it's really the in
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: laws get along. So well that's great, it's a blessing.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: But I was like, but for Christmas, I don't get
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: my parents because my dad asked to work the day after. Okay,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: so is this fair breakup? Right? Anyway, Let's go back
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: to your trip. You're going to Japan. You guys argue
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: more when you're in travel mode. No, but I think
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: after after the four weeks of traveling being together, Well,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: we're together all the time exactly, but there are like
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: stressful times when traveling, especially in a country that doesn't
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: primarily speak English and trying to not knowing how to
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: navigate the bus, the buses or the subways or anything
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: like that. So you know, stresses will be high and
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: I'm sure that'll yeah. I just I just know I
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: know not to get into Joe's way when he chooses restaurants.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: I love control. I've planned talk about what you were
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: telling me last night with the law recommendation. So you
• 28:53

  Speaker 1: like make a last minute reservation like flight in reservation
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: if he can get in somewhere just to eat and
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: then he'll fly back like hours later. It's nutty. Well,
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: it's so it's so difficult to get into these restaurants
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: you need for So he gave me like thirty recommendations. Um,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: and I couldn't get into like fifteen of them because

  Speaker 1: be a mushroom when I dress up. Yeah, so that
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: should be fun. And that there's also um in Kyoto.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: There's an island in near Kyoto where you can um
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: go hang out with a bunch of deer and they
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: have like hedgehog cafes. We can hold a hedgehog while eating,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: eating or drinking coffee. They make really good coffee out there.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of good I want to go, but
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: I feel like Japan is a place of people who
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: are like like specialized in things, you know what I mean.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: And I feel like there's so much passion and dedication
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: to a specific field and it's passed down like through
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: generation to generation. So I have a lot of admiration
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: for like how like like perfected they are at each
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: individual category category of what I mean food, I think, yeah,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: I think categories because like coffee it's taking very seriously,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: sushi's taking very seriously. Ram and even salt. Like there's
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: a there's like a restaurant that like they just like
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: kind of showcase salt and then they have um soft
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: serve ice cream and then you make the ice cream
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: coote and then they sprinkle like a different kind of
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: like see salt down there. Yeah, it looks really okay.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: So I've just decided that we're going to go on
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: a couple's trip together, and I want Joe to do
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: all the food and I want to go on a trip.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: So I know I've complained about this multiple times on
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: the podcast. I'm sure, but Jared like doesn't have this
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: passion for food that I do. And it makes me
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: really sad. I See I didn't first, really I didn't.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: I mean I would usually just eat the same thing
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: every day. I would make like rice and vegetables and
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: that's what I would and I'd be like happy with that.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: But Joe has opened my eyes up so much and
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: now I find myself getting more and more bougie because
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: of Joe. I got really bos after our Italian trip
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: after our honeymoon. Um, how you feel about pasta? Like,
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: for sure, I go to Italy. I just buy stuff
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: at Italy now fresh pasta, imported stuff. Okay, I would
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: love to do this. Do you guys when you vacation
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: and you went to Europe together last last year, do
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: you feel more bonded after those trips? Oh? Definitely, said
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: you go through a lot. Yeah. Yeah, Europe was great too.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: I mean we just walked everywhere and just exploring and
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: trying Amsterdam together. Amsterdam together, babe. Don't tell people what's
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: a space cake. It's a little it's a little like
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: an edible cake. It a little pomp with a little
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: bit of marijuana. That's fine, it's legal, it's legal. But
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: it was one of the most hilarious experiences. I mean,
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: I do, I do encourage encourage people, urging people of
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: age to try it. Yeah, it was. It was pretty well.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: So I'll tell you this is something for the podcast
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: that's talked about here before. Because we're pretty pg and
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: squeaky clean. But Jared and I have both never smoked pot,
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: hadn't edible anything like that, and I kind of like,
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: I keep telling him now that it's legal, like I
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: don't feel like I'm breaking any law. I'm like, let's
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: just do it together once. It will be super fun
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: and we'll just do it in our apartment doors locked,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: you knowlock, and he won't do it really. Yeah, but
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do it without him, like we do
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: it together or we we don't, we don't do it
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: at all. Yeah, I agree, you should. I mean, it's
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: it's not that it's a different perception of reality, is
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: what it is. Yeah, Well, Jared's paranoid in general. Like
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: he's paranoid and scared of pretty much everything. So I
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: don't know that he's going to have the best types
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: of things. You don't feel comfortable with it, and you
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: feel paranoid going into it, then it's not that you're
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: paranoid in general, like I can only imagine I'm a
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: paranoid person. But when you go to these stores now,
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: especially in l A, you could tell them like, hey listen,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: I get paranoid, and then they'll give you a strand
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: that doesn't you know, he doesn't make you paranoid or
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: as paranoid as regular weed would. So all right, Well,
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: to wrap this up, I wanted to talk about the
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: Scene app for a second. You guys talked a lot
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: about it with Ben, and I'm a little bit unfamiliar
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: with it. Can you tell me what you learned in
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: the last podcast? So seen as we're actually really excited
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: to be a part of it. It's about it. It's
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: about transparent dating. And what I mean by that is that, um,
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: whenever you match with somebody, all all of your messages
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: and video chats are public for everybody to see. So
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: everybody else that's on the app can see your conversations
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: and see your video chats. It's yes, it is weird,
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: but that's why it's fun. It's definitely fun. I guess
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: you're going to be very careful about what you say.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: It's not going to ever get creepy, which is why
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: it's the safest. Yeah, that's the point. And it's for
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: people that actually want to date. It's for serious daters. Yeah,
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: and it may be scary if you're shy. Once you
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: overcome that and you step out, what is it, Kendel,
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: the edge of your comfort zone? Life begins at the
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: end of your comfort had we got to hang out
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: more because our guys are both the exact same. Jared
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: is obsessed with his comfort zone and I'm always telling
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: him that quote in the Magic happens outside your comfort zone,
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: that circle and all that Demon's diagram that they have.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: But even you love your you love your comfort zone.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: Um no, I don't mind. I think you've gotten I
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: think since Joe has broken out of his comfort zone
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: so many times in the past few years, I think
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: now maybe he was pushed into Dancing with the Stars,
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: the ultimate non comfort zone. Yeah, that was it. I
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: mean for me, yeah, I had to like doing that
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: show was something I wasn't good at. I was so uncomfortable.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: But you know, once you do it, it's like just
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: free now, you know. And one thing we can relate
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: talk all the time at the Stars would he loves
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: before it's it's it's such a great experience and as
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: everyone that's a part of that show is just so
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: so great to work with. Have you been watching Hannah Um? Yeah, yeah,
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: we actually went to the shows, the Halloween show. Yeah, yeah,
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: that was awesome. But I think she's doing great. I know,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: I think Jenna just got voted off. Yeah, but um,
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: but yeah, to bring it back to the bring back
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: to the to the should Hannah get on the scene? Yes,
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: I mean I feel like I feel like one thing
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: is that being a part of Bachelor Nation and you know,
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: stranger to having a public relationship and for everybody to
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: see every step, the good and the bad of your relationship.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: And I can speak for Joe and I felt like
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: our relationship got so much stronger the more transparent it
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: was and the more that we shared it with everybody. Um,
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: and so we found strengthen that with each other. And
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: so UM, I think that's the reason why we're talking
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: to Mike. He's um the founder of the scene up
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: and he initially wanted to create a reality TV show
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: out of it, and so he was talking with us,
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: and you know, we have this idea of spreading it
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: to allowing like so many people to have this experience,
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: um with dating and it brings it back to the
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: traditional form of dating too in a sense. Yes, and
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: and and you also do have the option to go
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: private and you can meet some of your really into
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: it's like you then you don't stay on the app
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: and keep chatting, you know, you go do your own
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: thing in the real world. Yeah, exactly, all right, Well,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: the formal explanation of the Scene app is Scene app
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: is the next generation dating app for online daters fed
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: up with fake profiles and time wasters. Seen is the
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: first and only dating experience that offers complete transparency to
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: men and women looking for their perfect match. Transparent dating
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: means a new, innovative and honest approach to dating, which
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: allows singles who are serious about dating an opportunity to
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: match on real human connections and chemistry. And that means
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: more real connections. So if you're tired of relying on
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: a contrived profile and a set of my look like
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: me but not quite like me pictures, um Scene reveals
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: a potential partner's complete personality, charisma, and let's you choose,
• 40:11

• 42:38
  Speaker 1: got one a silver Fox. Were you talking about anyone
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: in particular? At one point? I thought, and I think
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: I said this on the podcast before Peter Krause, okay,
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: because I was like, I don't know there's any other
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: Silver Foxes. There was Peter, there's a Rachel's whole season.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: I felt that there were older guys. Yeah, yeah, it's
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: probably the last one with older guys. Okay, So you're
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: looking out for Rachel's EAPs. You mentioned to Jared during
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: a help I second dating that you and Chris basically
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: you go watch TV all day long stuff on the
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: couch and then you go to dinner, and those are
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: your visits with each other, which I love. What was
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: the last show? What was the show that you binge watched?
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: You watched, you binge watched anything? Or do you watch
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: this movie? It was called Fractured, and I was scared.
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: I was scared it was called Fractured. It was really
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: in mind. It was one of those mind mystery movies
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: where you don't I really didn't know what was going
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: to happen at the end. And that's one movie that
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: I can say I actually got through because I really
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: wanted to know what was going to happen. I was
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: on the edge of my seat. But I hated that
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: he was leaving the next day because then I didn't
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: want to be at my house with myself. I was like,
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: oh no, when I walk into my house with my
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: finger shaped like a gun, like, who's there? Was you
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: have a scary break in? I did? Yeah? I do? Okay?
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: I talking about that. Um I am it was the
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: day I was supposed to leave for Paradise. Oh my gosh.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: It wasn't um. It was someone who was homeless and
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: on a lot of drugs, so Luckily it wasn't someone
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: who was a fan or anything like that. I know
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: people were worried about that. It was someone who wasn't
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: in their right mind, and that was really scary for me.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: I was supposed to be home, but by the grace
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: of God, I was not. He went into my room
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: knocked all of the stuff that I had packed for
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: Paradise onto the floor. Um had trashed my house. He
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: put a lot of Aquafina bottle labels on my floors,
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: on my wood floor, stuck at them. All this to
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: my floor like a puzzle. Weird, creepy. Did I hear
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: something about like him dancing, Yeah, so my neighbors. He
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: was like screaming, yelling. My neighbors saw him. He was
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: smashing vases outside. UM, and he was apparently dancing around
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: and then dancing in my house. I guess the police
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: came in and got him. Um. He had tried to
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: take four dollars from me, which was sitting right next
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: to my MacBook pro. He took the four dollars and
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: threw it in the bush angrily. That's that's just what
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: I heard. Didn't take the map, didn't take the mac.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: He was like, screw this MacBook pro. I want four dollars,
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: and then I want to get rid of it quick.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: That's when you know he's not in his right mind. Absolutely.
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: You you kind of alluded to the fact that you
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: got through fractured the movie because you often fall asleep
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: while while watching movies with Chris. Yes, what was the
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: last movie you fell asleep during? That's a good question
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: because typically I can't even get to the first line
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: of the movie. I'm not okay, I'm not kidding, I'm
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: I am so as soon as the movie's on, Chris
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: turns the lamp off, and as soon as the lamp's off,
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: I'm off. I swear. It's like the lamp goes off
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: and my eyes shut and I try so hard. I
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: think there's part of me that you know how, You're
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: almost like half asleep, And he's like, are you sleeping?
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: I'm like no, and I get up really fascinated. I'm
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: not sleeping, and I get really defensive about it. I
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: laid back down and I and I'm sleeping again, but
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: he too, I like, I wake up, but I lie
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: to him. I'm like, I'm not sleeping at all. What
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: are you talking about? Get off my back? I get
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: sort of defensive and embarrassed to when I keep falling
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: asleep during movies because we just can't do it anymore, right,
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: I don't even know even if it's like relatively early,
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: like seven thirty or something. Midway through, I'll be like, oh,
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: I'm so cozy, and just like something about falling asleep
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: to a movie is so comforting. It's so nice. But
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know why I get defensive and tell them.
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: I tell him I'm not sleeping so funny. Um, okay,
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: So what did you guys do after you go and
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: fall asleep on the couch or you watch TV? What
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: kind of restaurants do you usually go to? Oh? Um,
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: lately Italian, which I never used to go to. Um,
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: I never ever went to. That's so interesting. That's like
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: the go to really in my family and with Jared
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: and I too. Oh yeah, like a lot of and
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: it's also really romantic. Um. I was a big like
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: I would always go to Mexican restaurants, but he Chris
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: likes fine dining. And only reason I don't like it
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: is because I have to get ready. Sometimes you gotta
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: get ready, but then once I'm ready and stuff. I
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: love the experience um and the Italian food that I've
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: tried a lot of the times. We went to some
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: really nice Italian places in New York when we were
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: there and in Chicago, and it's so beautiful and a
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: lot of the two of the restaurants we went to,
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: we got to see them make pasta in front of us,
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: which I thought was really really cool. So I have
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: a suggestion for your next day at night, because since
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: I went to Italy, we've I've become a food snob
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: and I just get fresh, organic um imported pasta from Italy.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: So when he comes to visit you in l A,
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: go to Italy, get all the imported things and like
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: make dinner together. And what I craft now in our kitchen,
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: to me, is better than what we go out to get.
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: Really yeah, okay, cool, alright, Katie, My last question for you,

• 50:29
  Speaker 1: bring in my friend Crystal Nielsen. She's been on the
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: podcast a ton lately, but I figured since she's up
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: here in NAPA as mine as well. Get her opinions
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: on the hottest of all Bachelor topics in the past
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks, and that has been the breakup of
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: Demi and Christian. Hey what that girl? Hi? Alright? So, um,
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: were you expecting to see the end of Christian Demi?
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: You know, I wouldn't say that I was really I
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: remember at our wedding. Yeah, that's where I was. Was
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: the first time that I heard that they were dating
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: and there was the same sex relationship. It was the
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: first of history for the Bachelor that was televised, publicly
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: known and one they're being a dozens in the past,
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: just that I've heard, I've heard through the vine. Well, yeah,
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: there was something were like like bisexual. I think like
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: Jamie was one. And did she ever huk up with
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: somebody from the show? Not that I'm aware of, Oh
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: my gosh, But Christian wasn't from the show. She wasn't
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: you know, she was a regular person if you will.
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: But but I will say, going back to your question,
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: was that was my first time hearing about the same
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: sex relationship. It was actually on my wedding day and
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: I was like what And I was the whole time,
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: I was like, how is this going to play out?
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: My mind was freaking blown for like a solid the
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: any days. But it was your mind blown because she
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: was able to bring on someone the whole thing, the world,
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: the whole thing. It was just something I did not
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: see coming, and that it was someone that wasn't from
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: the show that they've been dating prior to filming. There
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: was just so many uh areas around it that were
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: so out of the norm. Um. But I will say
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: watching unfold, I thought it was really beautiful how it
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: really came to be. Yeah, I mean they were so
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: routable during their season. Was definitely there. The feelings were palpable. Yeah,
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: and I think that um really seeing Christian just felt
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: so authentic to me. I really liked her and I
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: was I was really rooting for them. But coming off
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: the show, I remember saying, like when we were there
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: at reunion at the final taping, I was like, look,
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of pressure that comes up being a
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: bachelor couple. I'm sure as you know, and they're all
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: very young and this is very new and they are
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: dealing with a lot of hate, a lot of pressure,
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: a lot of exposure, and not to mention Demi was
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: just figuring out if she what her gender preference was
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: in a relationship, So I think it was just probably
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: a lot to deal with and process. Um. I think
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: it was a give giveaway that in the past month
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: or so there had been no Instagram content on the
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: two of them. Help. I second, Katie had actually said
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: that she doesn't want to post photos with Chris because
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: she feels like it'll lead on the audience sort of.
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: She's like, I'm not going to pose until I feel
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: solid with you. So I think that's like very mature
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: and authentic. So I'm you know, Demi obviously wasn't just
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: posting pictures with Christian for the likes. But yeah, I
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: think that was a giveaway a little bit that they
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: were on a rough road. Yeah, I think that there's
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: just a lot of I mean, of course, if you
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: don't see couples together, especially coming off of the show,
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: when you're really being celebrated, like that is your time
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: to get the love, get the support, and just be
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: proud of your relationship, especially because they were really setting
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: history that Um. I was really surprised that I hadn't
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: seen anything any interaction of them together, So I think
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: it makes sense, um, and I just wish them the best.
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: I think that they're just figuring it out. And you
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: know who you should really interview as Christian. I would
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: love it. I would love to hear her perspective. Let's
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: write that down, because nobody has been like pulled into
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: the world like she was. Oh, talk about flipped upside down.
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, just the magnitude of it. I would love
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: it to talk with her be so good, so good,
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: let's book her right right out like our next episode.
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: That would be amazing. So yeah, I mean, I can't
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: say that I am surprised just because of what the
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: lack of what we've seen lately. But it's sad. It sucks.
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: I was rooting for them hard. It was really fun
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: to watch the relationship. Um. But I also had this
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: pondering question that has kept thinking of during the season
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: and after their engagement. I was like, if they were
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: to have continued to date in real life over the summer,
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: would they have ever gotten engaged? Well? I think that.
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, a lot of couples and I think
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: if Chris and I would have met in real life,
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: we would have got after you know, that's basically like
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: every other of course in that environment where and for
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: those the listeners who don't know or you know, I'm
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: sure you do because you listen every week, right know,
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: like from the knowledge perspective, but they can't know from
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: the emotional Yeah, you are just you are supported in
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: such a way, especially for Chris and I. I mean
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: you are just hand almost hand had this amazing support
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: of this relationship to blossom and thrive, and like everyone's
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: behind you, everyone's rooting for you, And I mean it's
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: an incredible feeling, honestly, I mean it really is. And
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: you find yourself in these situations where I mean when
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: you and Jared came down, actually was you were there?
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: It was actually a you know, memorable day in our relationship. Okay,
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: so why was that a big day in your relationship
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: with Chris? So after you guys got engaged, UM, all
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: the producers pulled all of us to have like important
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: conversations about you know, hey, we're more than half with
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: your paradise. Where do we see this relationship going? Do
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: we see yourself getting married in kids? And Chris and
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: I decided that night to um go into the boom
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: room for the first time the first time and for
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: those who don't know, one camera instead of twelve. Alright,
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: and what do you think the camera person, not the
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: Cara person, but I guess the person up in the
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: control room. Do you think they watched? Of course they
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: watch it. We could see the camera following us. Really, yeah,
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: we were kind of into it. Okay, it's kind of
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: like that we're doing a sex tape exactly. Hopefully it'll
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: never Actually we're like, it won't get out. The footage
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: could have got out under the covers though, right under
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: the covers. No, we were on the balcony, Ashley, but
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: under watching everyone at the campfire. You were watching everybody.
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: I mean we were there. You had the windows pulled
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: the curtains, so we were in the room all the
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: way at the very top, which has it is a
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: beautiful room with like an open there's no windows like
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: it totally opened the whole room. You were in the
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: offt oh, I thought you were talking about the other
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: boom boom room that has like a little bit of
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: a curtain. No, no, no, we were okay, all the
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: way up top of the tree house, so basically anybody
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: could walk in to like go get some snacks. In
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: the refrigerator. No, we were at the very talk I know,
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: but that doesn't have a door or anything. It doesn't
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: He couldn't see you if they were getting a snack
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: in the refrigerator. I will say that that night was
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: an amazing night, an amazing night, and it just happens
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: to also be the day that you got engaged. You
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: waited a bit, you waited a bit. It was like
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: we did, Yeah, we waited it great. There was a
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: lot of built up, you know, like we were ready.
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: So what made you so? Thank you? Actual I inspired
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: the romance? Oh my god, thank you conversations. Why did
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: you do it then and not wait for the fantasy suite?
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: You know? I think we just didn't know how much
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: time was going to be left in Paradise. And I
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: think just for Chris and I was really we just
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: wanted to spend a night together and not even so
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: much just have sex, but we just wanted to see
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: what it would feel like too for me to wash
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: up all my makeup and crawl in bed with him,
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: to brush our teeth together, to fall asleep, like does
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: he snore? Can we sleep together? Like? Are these things compatible?
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: And I needed to know that sooner than the night,
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: I could potentially get engaged to someone like I needed
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: the next day exactly, I needed to have a little
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: more of like that realism in the relationship. All right, well, Crystal,
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: we talked about one hot topic and you gave us
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: a very fine al right. Next up we have Maddie Poppy.
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: I'm on a little bit of a health kick lately.
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: It's not just about clean eating, but it's also about
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: not exposing myself to toxic chemicals and eating organically and
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: avoiding parabins beauty products and stuff. And one of my
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: favorite product lines that I've found in this new lifestyle
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: creation of mine is Native Products. All of their products
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: like deodorant are formulated without aluminum, parabins and talcue and
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: their field with ingredients found in nature, such as coconut oil,
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: shave butter, tapioca start and they don't do any animal testing.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: You guys know, I'm very particular about what I put
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: on my skin, and the number one thing I try
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: to avoid right now, especially is chemicals. And making the
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: switch to a natural deodorant does not mean that you're
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: gonna have to sacrifice on odor or wetness protection. I
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: tried it. I know these products work and they have
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: eight thousand five star reviews. That's a very good sign.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: So if you didn't believe that it worked for me,
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: there's eight thousand other people who took the time and
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: effort to give these Native products writings, eight thousands of
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: I'm giving five star writings. It's pretty amazing. Native come
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: in a wide variety of enticing scents for men and women,
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: and they come out all throughout the year. I personally
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: love the coconut and vanilla scent. It's so tropical. I
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: put it on and it makes me feel like it's
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: summer all the time, and it makes me feel like
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: I'm on vacation, that that smell of coconut like brings
• 1:01:17

• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: right here in Napa Valley. Maddie. Um, you have been
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: on reality TV two shows, actually The Voice and American Idol,
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: and you met your boyfriend Caleb. I did it was
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: The Bachelor mixed with American Idol to say, you guys
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: were the winner and runner up and you got together
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: and that is actually not the only time it's happening
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: on American Idol. But it's still so much fun that
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: you like developed a reality relationship. So I think you
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: kind of understand this totally. Yeah, so you're a Bachelor fan.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: I don't watch every season because, like lately, I have
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: not been able to watch because I'm I'm never in
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: one in the same place every Monday night. I love that.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: I do know every it's every Monday night. But um,
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: but like I've definitely watched, um you know, I catch
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: I catch an episode or like the season every now
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: and then you follow yes lightly, yes, Okay, So how
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: do you feel like your relationship now is? Is it
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: got more scrutiny because you guys met on the show
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: and because the fans of the show want you guys
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: to be together. Yeah, for sure. Um, the pressure is
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: definitely there. And also like I can't imagine people who
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: you know, like people who are on the Bachelor Bachelorette,
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: the pressure that they must feel to stay together even
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: if like after the fact they know like it's you know,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: this isn't gonna work or something. You know, I'm lucky
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: that I do. Actually, you know, I I do feel
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: like my boyfriend and I will work out, you know
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: plan you recently called him the one. Oh yeah, that's everywhere.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: That's really weird. But um, yeah, I can't imagine the
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: pressure that I would feel if I was just like
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: because like we can't you know, if we broke up.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: I can't imagine. But you know it's interesting because you
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: said that, Um, you know that do you think that
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: we have a lot of pressure. But you guys were
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: able to date in former relationship while you were actual
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: competitors on the show. Yeah, how does that work? How
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: is it not jealousy? You know what. I'm gonna be
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: honest with you. I think if he would have won,
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: I would have been extremely jealous. So I think it's
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: good it worked out. Just girls get jealous, you know
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Um, but he didn't really want to
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: win or not, because I mean, honestly, I don't know
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: that this sounds terrible, but I don't know that he
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: would have been the best winner because I don't know
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: if he would have been able to like do all
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: the you know, Disney is tied in with ABC and
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: so you have to put on the Mickey ears and
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: be like, let me tell you about the magic of Disney,
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So I don't know that
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: he would have been able Hello, record label guy who
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: with Disney, Hollywood Records. Hollywood Records, Um, the former label
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: of the Jonas Brothers. That's right, that's right. But anyways,
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know that he would have been able to
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: do all that, you know what I mean. It's just
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: be harder for a dude, I think. But yeah, honestly,
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: it never really felt like a competition show. It was
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: more like summer camp, because that's how it feels filming
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: The Bachelor or the Bachelorette, not Bachelor in Paradise. Bachelor
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: in Paradise is a more regular emotional Yes, oh it's
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: opposite for up. Yeah, okay, well Crystal here, who's sitting
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: in had a little bit more of a tumultuous time
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: during the Bachelor, but that's a different conversation. You um
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: were on the Voice as well, and I feel like
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: your story is so um, it's so incredible. You did
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: alive and you did a live performance for the judges
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: on the Voice, nobody turned around. You were eliminated right
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: there on the spot and then American Idol was it?
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: Lionel Richie said like, you need to be part of
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: this competition and then you want it. What in the
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: world how is it so inconsistent? First of all, you
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: do great research. Really, I don't know if you were
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: you actually watch or you just look U up, But
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: either way, it doesn't matter. You're great. A lot of
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: people be like, so what's your name? Oh? Well, I
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: mean I just need to let you know here, um
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: heart Idol in Virginia, you can have a heart on
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: your license plate. So mindset heart idle from like two thlen.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: So do you still watch I don't watch it the
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: past like five seasons. I get it, I get it.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: It's okay, I don't. I haven't watched Pasty David Cook
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: performed at my wedding. Wow, oh my gosh, that's big time. Um.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: The question was about the voice. How is it so inconsistent?
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: It was super embarrassing. First of all, your talent is
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: mind boggling. Your voice was made to be famous. None
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: of those judges to turn around. I think if Kelly
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: Clarkson had heard you, she would have turned around. Now,
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: I gotta say something though. That's so sweet, But I
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: gotta say I wouldn't have turned from me either. That
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: was I didn't think it was very good performance at all.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: Like watching it, I was cringing and like, first of all,
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: that show is very different from Idol because on that
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: show they have so much control over you and um,
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: you know, they pick your outfit and your song and everything.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: Idol is literally like okay, just show up and do
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: whatever you want. Um, And I think that's what was
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: so different. You know, I didn't get my guitar when
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: I was on the Voice, so I was super awkward
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: and I didn't know even who I wanted to be,
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: what genre I wanted to sing. I was if it
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: would have worked out, then it wouldn't have been good.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: The age difference was a year and a half between
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: the I Know and that, and it's crazy how much
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: I kind of grew in just that little amount of time.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: But I was devastated after that. Of course, I thought,
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: you know, Idol was going off the air like that
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: same season, so I was like, well, that was my
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: last opportunity and that there it was. Came back so quickly,
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: came back. Yeah, not even give it what maybe not
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: even two points? I know? Um yeah, I just wasn't ready. Honestly,
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: I can't sit here and say, yeah, screw the Voice.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: You know, they didn't turn around for me. I think
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: a lot of people want me to be like because
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: some people ask like, yeah, do you wish what you wish?
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: You could tell Blake Shelton now, and I'm like, well,
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: I tell him you were you were right. I wasn't
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: ready then now, uh And yeah, not being biased right
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: now because you're in front of me. But I've always
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: just understood the appeal of Idol more than the voice.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: I never got into it. And this is a girl
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: who had heart Idol in her license plate. That's amazing
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: and that means a lot. I mean, I think that
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: that show has had so much success because they let
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: people be whoever they want to be. You know, when
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: you package something together and then you put out into
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: the world, you can't you can't expect it to continue
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: to you know, thrive in the way it did when
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: you know, when that person was surrounded by a team
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: real crazy yeah and just controlla yeah. But I mean,
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, like that show obviously has been
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: on for so many seasons because but nine people love it.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: I feel like it's more a TV show and less
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: of a launching pad for artists. Oh for sure. It's
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: not about the artists. Yeah, I mean that sounds really bad,
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: But it's not about discovering Kelly Clarkson. You know, it's
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: about oh the banter between the judges, and they have
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: such a great lineup, you know, obviously that's so entertaining
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: because it's like a reality TV show for these stars already,
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: you know, um, I want to go back to your
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: boyfriend for a second. Just Caleb, Caleb Lee Hutchinson, and
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: he's an artist of course, still working in Nashville. Um
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: but he um he and you met on the idol.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: You've been together for a year and a half, and
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: I saw that you post a monthly post on in
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: a Graham saying we're still together. Just letting you know
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: because the fans will always speculate. We were just talking
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: about a bachelor couple who broke up and we all
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: speculated that it was coming because they hadn't posted of
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: each other in a month. So how do you feel
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: about the pressures of keeping up your relationship on Instagram?
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: And since it's that's something that we as a bachelor
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: family have to deal with all the time, totally. I mean, man,
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: we can relate on so many levels because um yeah,
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: it's like I feel like we will like joke around
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: on Twitter or something, and then the next day, like
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: if we don't post every day, you wouldn't believe the comments.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: They're like some will be like, well she's pregnant, and
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: others will be like they're done for good, you know
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: what I mean. Like it's just that no, I mean,
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: there's so many expectations, and it's like, you know, it's
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: just become kind of a joke, Like that post was
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: a total joke because I was just like, you know,
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: I don't care. I'm happy my relationship. I don't think
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: I need to let the world know every five seconds,
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: you know, keep them updated on you know, what's happening
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: with us, because yeah, and Instagram is a big highlight
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: rail of a relationship anyway, it's just all butterflies and rainbows.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: But and then of course if we were to show
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: some realness that people be like, oh, they're on the
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: rocks totally. And you know what. The thing that kind
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: of sucks about being a musician nowadays is that you're
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: not just a musician. You have to be a social
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: media influencer. Yeah, that's kind of every condision of entertain
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: you know, like anything you want to do, you know,
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: if you want to keep it up, that platform on
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: social media is so important. And if you don't have
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: a presence there, well, I mean it's one thing if
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: you made it in the nineties and you're like, you know, justever,
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: but for people up and coming, if you don't have
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: a social media platform, it's like you're just you're certainly
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: not appealing to the millennial crew. But it sucks because yeah,
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: it's exhausting social medi is exhausting mentally everything, you know.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: Last thing I want to talk to you about is
