• 2:02
  Speaker 2: before you even say it. You look beautiful.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: That yeah, you know, four finger forehead. I think I've
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: told you that story. Maybe it's a five finger forehead
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: now because maybe it's feeding.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: I don't know. That was Ryan's version of a compliment once,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: wasn't it. H No, that I thought that's what you said.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: What was the forehead?
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: So this was in I think high school or college.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I went to the hairstylist and I was like, I
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: want to grow up my banks because I had banks
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: at the time. And she pulls up my banks and
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: she goes, no, four finger forehead, you should not grow.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Oh my god. I'd be like new hairstylist. Goodbye bull Ricks.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah I didn't go back to her anymore.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Good Bye super Cuts.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Anyway. But yeah, life has been good. It has been.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: It was a little crazy a few weeks ago. I
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw this story, Sokoto does
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: want to stay Hi, he's in my coda me.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: I know. Oh he's cutie.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's getting big. Anyway. So I was at my
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: friends and I felt like my eye was droopy or
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: it was blurry or something was weird. And you know,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: we had just got the puppy, and so I thought
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: maybe I have like one of his pairs in my eye.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: And I'm a quick anyway, so I'm like, I'm gonna
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: get home and wash my face, so just put I
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: drops in whatever. So I get home and wash my
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: face and I'm looking in the mirror and my pupil
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: on my right side is dilated, not the left one.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Just the right one. I really dilated, and I thought, Okay,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: that's really strange, Like you know, mister medical doctor who
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: got his degree from er Yes.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Ahead, I'm working on a diagnosis as we speak.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: So so I just thought, you know, that's when when
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the EMTs or paramedics come up and they shine a
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: light or doctors shine a light in your eye and
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: like try to figure out if they're equal and reactive
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: or equally reactive or whatever it is. And it was
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: definitely unequal. So Ryan called one of his EMT friends,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: who supposedly is like one of the smartest guys he
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: knows in that world, and he was like, I wouldn't
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: worry about it unless she has other symptoms, and it
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: really didn't have anything else going on besides like a
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: minor headache. And then of course I go to doctor
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Google because that's what I.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Do, and.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: No I know, but in this case, like in all
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: of their cases, I feel like it's usually, well, this
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: could be wrong with you, or this could be wrong
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: with you, or whatever could be wrong with you. Right,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: it has like a list of things could be wrong.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: On this one website, Cleveland Clinic that is like legit.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: It said if you are experiencing and it's called anisochoria
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: when you have one dilated pupil. If you're experiening anasa chorea,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: go to your primary or the emergency room right now.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: You could be experiencing an aneurysm or a stroke. And
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I was like, it's never doctor Google has never told
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: me to go to the emergency room.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Right now, right, I wouldn't even tell you to do that, right,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, it.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Was like, oh gosh, what really is going on? Like I,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: you know, usually it'll say, oh, but you could have
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: a brain tumor, or you could have this or that
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: or whatever. But in this instance, it said go to
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: the emergency room. And of course, once I knew that
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: and was writing that, neither of us could say we
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: can't go because then what if I really did have
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: an aneurism or a stroke? Right, So tell the kids
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: go to the emergency room. They did a cat scan
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: and they like kind of like painted my eyeball to
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: see if it was had an abrasion on it, and
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: then everything checked out, so I guess it was just
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: a fluke as per usual in my In my case,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I feel like everything I've ever experienced, I had that feature,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: you know, years ago and all these other things. I
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: feel like I am always the rare person who you
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: just have.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: No idea why just randomly happened. Yeah, well, thank god
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: it was just random, though, I mean that could have
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: been I mean, man, that's nothing to mess around about either,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: So I get it. I would have been rushing myself
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: or whoever to the hospital too.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it can be scary. So I feel like,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: just you know, word to anyone listening, just listen to
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: your body, and if it turns out to be nothing,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: that's awesome. But if it turns out to be something,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: because I did have someone reach out on Instagram afterwards
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: and they told me a story about how a friend
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: of theirs died from an aneurysm, and I think that
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: was the only symptom she had as well. So like,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: just listen to your body because you never know exactly.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: And if you're fortunate enough to have health insurance, which
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: I know you know you do and I do. It's
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: like it's so it's a little co I mean, it's
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: probably a decent or sizable copey to go to the er,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: but it's better safe than sorry, you know what I mean.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: It's definitely better, you know, to go there and just
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: get it checked out and feel comfortable, because I mean
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: that would be scary, especially if it was that discernible
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: of a difference. I would be stressed out the headache
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: through me. When you said it was a headache, I'm like, oh, man, okay,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: now you got And.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: They did say in the er, are you having a headache,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: and I said, yeah, I've been havingache a headache for
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: a little while, but it's not that bad. And they
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: were like, okay, well, if it was the worst headache
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: of your life, that's when we really worry. But since
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: it's really nothing, then we're not going to worry. So anyway,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: everything is good. We did have so I think after
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: that happened, I got this book in the mail. I
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: think it was after maybe it had been before. Molly
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Mesnik and Desiree and I were sitting at the wedding
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: at the Golden Bachelor wedding just chatting, and we were
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: talking about how Molly found out about this book that
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: she wanted to order from Amazon to like put all
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: have Jason actually, because Jason handles all of their money
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: and their accounts and you know, like whatever the passwords
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: to everything, you know, all of that.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: She's like, I need to I need to write all
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: this stuff down because what if something does happen to Jason?
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: And I was thinking the same, like I do I
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: do pretty much all of that for our family, and
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I feel like if I wasn't around Ryan, would you know.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Be sool?
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: So Molly told me about this book on Amazon and
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: I ordered it and it came and I had it
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: sitting on the kitchen island and Max came in and
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: kind of was looking around and he starts to go
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: down to his room and he was like, Mom, are
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: you okay? Like, is everything okay? Well, the title of
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: the book is I'm Dead.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Now what.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: He was like, are you okay?
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Is everything fine? Are you dying?
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Anyway, he didn't say that until I realized that he
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: saw it, and so I went up to him and
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: I was like, dude, did you just see that book?
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Are you freaking out because you think that like something's
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: happening to me? I promise nothing's happening. I'm really healthy.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: That's funny. I'm surprised. I mean, you know, my experience
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: with Max was so I'm surprised. He reacted at all
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: given my my encounter with him. Right, here's hey Max,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: this is my ex boyfriend. What's up? I got one
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: of these? Like any think I got it? What's up?
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: That's got?
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah he's better about talking these days, but yeah, it was.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: It was pretty comical. So there are these books on Amazon.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: They're all all different like covers, and it's just say
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: I'm dead now what So you have all of your information?
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: You know? You know, it's funny. That does make you think, though,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: I mean I always try to, especially when it's like
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: you get such mixed signals from everything, so they're like,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: you know, don't write your passwords down total there or
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: keep it near your computer because then blah blah blah.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: So it's like, what the hell am I supposed to do? Then?
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: You know? So I literally do though I write everything down.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: I do, so, yeah, i'd be the easiest, you know.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Guess I'm putting it out there for anyone listening to
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: the podcast. If you really want to rob someone and
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: have an easy go of it, come to my house
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: because I uh, all my passwords are right here. Just kidding,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: I will hide them now, I'm just kidding. Yeah, I'm
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: not here there there over here. Don't take a picture
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: of it, right, yea, oh my god. But yeah, I
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: remember that at the wedding because at the Golden Wedding,
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: I remember that how fun it was at that table
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: that we were Oh wait, that's right. I wasn't invited. Rude.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: I just read something and it was like and at
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: the wedding, we're you know, so many people from the
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Bachelor Nation family were there, and I'm like, I thought
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: it was more exclusive, and that's why I wasn't invited.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: So there was that many people there. I mean, there
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: are like randoms who were like the first ones voted
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: off on you know, Bachelor Winter Games in nineteen eighty four.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: They're there, not me.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Thank you, sorry, I would have invited you if I could.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Well, I did get to go to the
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Bachelor wedding of all time, Trista and Ryan and.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right exactly.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And guess what, none of those people were at
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: that wedding. So there I was. You're the only one
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: in this conversation that they weren't even for you. But
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: that's okay, that's all right. They wouldn't have been invited
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: anyway because they had been babies and it was a
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: no kid wedding, So I'm just kidding. Well, I think
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: I think that's awesome. I love that you guys all
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: still have such a good friendship.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: I guess in the headlines, if you want to switch
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: gears to the headlines, I guess there was something that
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: happened after the Sorry, I just had to check on
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: him after Golden wedding or during golden wedding. I hear
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: that Dean realized that Caitlin unfollowed him and because I
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: guess she tagged him in something, and then he looked
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: at her account just to see and he was like, oh,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: she doesn't follow me, so I'm gonna unfollow her.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: I think this is the modern day, Yes, the modern
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: day version of throwing shade. Yeah, you know. It's like
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: I laughed when we were talking about this earlier. I
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: wouldn't even know if someone had done followed me or not.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: I'd be like, okay. And then I heard in that
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: same article he talks about muting, and I'm like, what
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: does that mean, I've never muted.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: We're having a bob and he leftin today.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: We really are. I'm learning so much about my social
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: media accounts.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, you definitely can mute people. I most definitely
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: mute people if I'm just over what they're what they're posting,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: not even people that are in the public eye, just
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: you know, friends and who I'm like, are you kidding?
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Like could we just not talk about Paula Tics in
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: every single post? You know, Like I'm like, yeah, just
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: please come on or whatever.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: I did this old fashioned thing. I had conversations with
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: people that were doing that, and I was like, can
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: we not have, you know, every post of yours be political,
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: because even though I may or may not agree with it, Yeah,
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: it really pigeonholes you. It makes you look like so
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: one dimensional. And it's like but it's always like, you know,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: the thing that I always find interesting and I don't
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: really ever talk about my politics, but so everyone kind
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: of guesses what they think I am and they're always wrong.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: But oh yeah, well because I I mean, I'll tell
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: you the secret later. But the secret is, oh I
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: can't tell you on this. I'll just we'll just keep
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: it between us and out. But no, they It's it's
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: funny because literally they'll they'll say, you know, well, for
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: all my right wing friends out there, for all my
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: left wing friends, out there. Yeah, and it's always something like,
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: you know, it's like when people open a sentence with, hey,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: well no offense. I know, here comes an offense, right,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: So it's like, come on, guy. I was like, let's
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: not even get that dialogue going. Let's just stop it,
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: let's shut it down, and let's just you know, let's
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: just let's just bring some kindness back into this world
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: and totally, you know, get somebody in office who can,
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: you know, make sure we're not going broke and going
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: to war and all that good stuff and everybody's being
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: treated well.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: And I mean I wish there was a person out there.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: I don't think there is.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Well, it's become such a tough gig. I mean, could
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: you imagine. I mean, I'm sure you know, I can't
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: even imagine the scrutiny that you go through, oh, running
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: for public office at this point.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: No way. I don't know one wants to do it.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't want.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, not that I ever have wanted to do it,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: but I feel like anyone in politics you've got to
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: be crazy.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: I actually used to want to isn't that weird to do?
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Like I actually, when I was much younger, I always thought, Yeah,
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: I think I could do some good because I like,
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: you know, when I have people who disagree on stuff,
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: I work really hard to make them find common ground.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Like it's just I've always been a people pleaser in
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: that regard. And but I my brother in law and
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: I actually when we were in Mexico had this conversation and
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: I was like, you know, I think it's become so
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: difficult because if you are someone who is more moderate,
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: you know, to you know, all the far reaching political spectrum.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: If you're someone who's kind of a lot more moderate,
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know that you can get elected anymore because
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: I think at the end of the day, you almost
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: have to play to one side or the other to
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: get that support. You know.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I wish there was somebody who who did have
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: a lot more common ground. Yeah, so that we can
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: be united.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: I guess when with Guinea in twenty twenty six, just kidding, Yes,
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: that's my political college. But yeah, I uh to say,
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: I haven't I haven't learned to mute, but I'm gonna
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: I'm going to figure out how to do that, because
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: it looks like that's what Dean said was that he
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: was saying that he muted her or something like that.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: No, he was saying. He actually said he muted Ashley
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: and she was like, what excuse me, because he was
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: doing his podcast with Jared talking and he said he
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: muted Ashley, which you know, he said, if you don't
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: mute certain people, then their content shows up before anybody else's,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: like constantly. You can favorite someone or starve them. I
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: think I think I have like Ryan Favoriteed and my
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: kids and you know, my family or whatever. You of course,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: of course, so so yeah, you can mute, you can favorite,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: you can, but the algorithm is so freaking confusing, and
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: certain people just show up constantly for you if you
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: if you don't mute him. So I get that too.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: I feel like sometimes I just need a break from
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: certain people.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Sure, sure, but you know it's interesting, is like some
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: people are so good at social media, Like Dean is
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: one of them. Dean and yeah, I'm sure, Caitlin and
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: and you know, to a degree, I mean I would
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: say probably ash They're all so good at that that
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: you know, they understand the nuances that you know, do
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: things and I mean clearly I don't. I mean I basically,
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: you know, I take videos of my kids and myself,
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: and uh, you know that's about it. There's no messaging
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: going on in there.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: You know that's okay. That is okay. You can continue
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: to do that too.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: I use it more like a photo album.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Oh yes, no, you should, especially as a dad. I
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: just feel like it kind of comes with the territory.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Like I don't know if there's like this unwritten pressure,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: if you will, like peer pressure to follow people in
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Bachelor Nation when you're part of Bachelor Nation, like if
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: you're disconnected from it, Like I know, Molly stepped away
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: from social media for a while, so and like she
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: went to the Golden Wedding, she was like, please tell
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: me who all these people are. I have no idea.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: You know there are people who like step away, but
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: if you're if you're doing stuff with them, I feel
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: like there's kind of like this unwritten rule that you
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: kind of have to follow people. But I you know,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: I'll get excited and I'll be like, oh, yeah, I
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: want to I want to follow so and so because
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: I love watching them, And then I'm like, you really
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: don't have anything in common, and yeah, highly doubt that
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: they're really excited to see my content too.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, I'm sure there's nobody out there clamoring to,
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: you know, to jump on the Bob Getna bandwagon on
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: Instagram by any stretch. But you know, it's funny. I
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: will say, like, I know what you mean. I mean,
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: I remember after Chris and Lauren's wedding, you know, and
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: that was the first time I was around a lot
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: of those people, and I really had such a wonderful time.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, you and I've talked about it. It was like
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: such a great time, and it was such a great
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: group of people, such a great mix of people, and
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: I ended up following a ton of people that weekend
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: that you know, I just I hadn't met previously, and
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: so once I did, I'm like, hey, I knew best friends,
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: you know. And I loved it. I mean, and I
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: I really did. I really loved, you know, that experience.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: And I've loved all the iHeart experiences where I've gotten
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: to know more people so much better. And you know, so,
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, from that perspective that you're right, I think
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: there is there is kind of like an unwritten rule,
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: but it's also from my perspective, it's also one of
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: those things where it's just like, man, I just spent
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: the weekend with these people and I had so much fun.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: I just want to, you know, keep in touch with them.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: And yes, it's a nice way to do it. It's
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: a nice way to keep in touch and just sort
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: of you know, scroll through and go, oh, that's what
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Dean and Kaylen are doing. That's fine, you know, or
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: whatever it might be. So yeah, but I but I
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: can still say that, you know, I would. I think
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: it's really funny the topic of conversation there on that,
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: you know well, and I had a mute it anyway,
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: so I was like, okay, I just on follower. I
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: think that's just pretty funny. But Caitlin's in the news
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: a lot with us.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: I don't think you can see that people have muted you.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: I think he just told Jared that he had needed Ashley, yeah,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: because then I don't think people would mute other people,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: because then you could see that they muted you. You know,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: some people instead of unfollowing, they'll do the muting thing
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: so that they don't get called out for unfollowing.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: I do remember, okay, I just realized I caught myself
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: in a little bit of a fib there. I do
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: recall finding out someone had blocked me.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Oh blocked you like that?
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Yes? Oh yeah, next level. So it was a friend
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: of mine. No, no, not from the franchise. This is
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: years and years and years ago. But it was well,
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: not too many years ago, I guess, but I was
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: still living in La So it was probably like twenty twelve,
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen, right when Instagram it's kind of
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: like a new thing. I guess that's when that was.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: I don't even know when it began, but I remember
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: my buddy's girlfriend, Okay, he dumped her and she thought
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: it was because of my influence, I guess, And so
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: I was like, what she didn't know was I was
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: actually like trying to, you know, broke her some peace there.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Like I was like, you know, oh no, she's great.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah she can be a little crazy, but you know
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: she's awesome or whatever. And uh, I like liked a
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: picture of hers on on Instagram and it wouldn't accept
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: my like oh would accept my heart. And I'm like,
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: I'm like, wait, what the hell is going on here?
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: And I must have I must have hit it like
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: ten times in the final I'm like, oh my god,
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: how am I the villain here. I didn't do anything wrong,
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: and I'll never forget it. So that's the one time
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: I remember knowing that moment that someone had either you know,
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: they had a beef with me, I guess on on
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: the on the Instagram there, and it just you I know,
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: I was so hurt by it, and then I felt
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: like I had to redeem myself somehow and validate that
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: it wasn't my fault. So I was like going out
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: of my way to figure out ways to you know,
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: get some type of content to this person to let
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: them know that I was I was on her side.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Another headline is Chris and Lauren just announce that they
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: have a new show coming up, which is great to
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: be I mean, I love it. I love that they've
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: got you know, all these what do you call them
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: irons in the fire.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: And but what I want to know is he said
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: something about like I heard it was a morning show,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: and then I heard it was a dating show, And
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: I'm like, really, don't you think that his contract would
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: have said, like you can't do dating.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Shows, you know, I mean, it sounds like it's not
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: it sounds like it's two separate shows, right, it sounds
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: like there's what I understand. Yeah, from what I understand,
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: there's one show like a talk show with Lauren and
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Chris got It, and then the other show is a
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: spin on your conventional dating show. And so yeah, I
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: kind of I kind of knew a bunch of stuff
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: was percolating, but I didn't know where it was going
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: or what was happening. And and I thought the announcement
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: was pretty great, you know. I mean, you talk about
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: someone whose content is incredibly entertaining. I think Lauren Zima
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: to me is someone who I follow her and I
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: I will literally just sit there and just laugh at
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: like like sitting in my seat. My and Kenye'll say,
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: what are you laughing about? I'm like, Lauren posted this,
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: and we'll both watch it just laugh because because we
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: just love her so much. You know, She's just such
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: an adorable person and I just find her so funny,
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: and her takes on things are just you know, she
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: just has like kind of like no filter and just
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: this cute way of handling herself and I just adore it.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: So I'm so happy for them, and I think it's
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: going to be awesome for them. And but yeah, you know,
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: it is interesting you you would you would guess uh that,
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: you know, but maybe the way things went down, you know,
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: they didn't have the ability to put that in there
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: for him. He could do whatever he wants, you know.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: I'm sure, I mean, but I think it's awesome. I
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: agree with you about Lauren, and I think it's going
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: back to social media like she is one that never
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: pops up for me, even though I like any like
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: anytime Chris will, I'm following her and Chris will post
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: something or repost something from her, and I'll go look
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: at it and be like, why didn't this show up?
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Like I don't understand why she doesn't show up for me,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: But it's just the stupid algorithm. I need to like out,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: like go actually look at her stuff actively because She're right,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: she is freaking hysterical. But I'm really excited about the show.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: They are such a good team and I mean they
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: can banter, they can you know, be supportive, they can
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: do all the things. I think it's going to be
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: a huge success.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: I think so too, And I definitely I'm if I
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: can send positive vibes, I'm sending them. It's like I
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: wanted to be I want it to be a huge success.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: And I think, you know, partnering up with a fellow
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: textan doesn't hurt Chris at all either, Right, He's partnering
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: up with doctor Phil and you know, Merit Media, and yeah, yep,
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: that's pretty huge. So good for them. Man. I was
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: very happy to read that.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: It's funny because when I don't know if I was
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: sitting with Blakesley when it was posted, but she was like, wait,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: why is Chris Harrison with doctor Phil Is? Isn't he
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: like a psychiatrist or something? And I was like, oh, no,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: he's not, like going on doctor Phil showed.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: You're like, well, he's partnering with doctor Phil, yes exactly.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: I'm like doctor Phil is, like you know, has a
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: big media company from what I understand.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: So I'm sure. And Chris is also sort of a
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: psychotherapist as well. I mean, over the years to most
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: of us at one point or another, I'm sure, provided
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: you know mental health and counsel. So yeah, there you got.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Lots of that, that's for sure.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: I think I told you this story once, but it's
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: one of my favorite stories about doctor Phil. Well actually
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: just one of my favorite stories in general. So this
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: is a very very very long time ago. You had
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: just gotten well, you were married. I don't know if
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: you're pregnant at the time or not, but it was
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: right after. I don't think you were yet because you
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: didn't have How long after you guys got married, did
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: you guys have Max?
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: It took us two years, so I think three years after.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: Well he was born in two seven, so we got pregnant.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah. So I had just come off The
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: Bachelor and it was Oprah's fiftieth birthday party and I
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: got invited and I was all excited to go, and
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: I go and the first and I was shocked again
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: to be there. I'm like, I'm standing Jefferson Anderston and
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: Brad Pittord right here, I'm sitting, you know, I'm with
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: like you know, and there's doctor Phil And this is
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: to date myself. This goes back to the day when
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: the blue blackberries were what everyone had, remember those y
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: And so I'm online doctor Phil. I was like, I
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: don't even know what I was doing, probably just like
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: nervous energy because I'm around all these huge celebrities and
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: doctor Phil's standing right next to me. He goes, boul
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: do you know how to make the font bigger on
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: this thing. And I'm like, yes, I do, doctor Phil.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: First of all, I'm like, how the hell's he knowing?
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: I didn't even introduced myself yet, and so I was like, sure,
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: doctor Phil. And so I remember, I like helped him
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: get his font size bigger on there. And it was
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: just like one of those moments when in my life,
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: in my in my head, I was like, yeah, here again.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: You know, mister, I never take pictures of anything, you know,
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: is my Like Kenyon says to me, She's like, the
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: pictures you could have had. I mean, you know, I'm like, seriously,
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: I wasn't going to pull out my camera and be like, hey,
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: doctor Phil, yeah, let me hould up your blueberry or
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: whatever the things they're called, so, you know, BlackBerry. So
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: I didn't. I didn't do that at the time, but
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: you know, it's kind of funny. I always think of
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: him because he was so nice. He was just such
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: a nice guy, and it was like a normal guy
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: Like it was like, you know, this damn font thing,
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: and you know, it's like things that you know, I
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: don't know. I just always think of that as just
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: kind of a pretty telling moment.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: It's just like a like an everyday moment. It just
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: so happened to be happening with doctor Phil exactly.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, as I'm in a you know, tux
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: said Oprah's fifty right exactly.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Celebrities.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh my god, that party in and of itself.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: I remember another awesome thing that happened to me there,
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: and this is why why Tom Hanks is one of
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: my very favorite celebrities of all time. And I was
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: I was standing there and I'll never i mean literally
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: just looking around this room, I'm like, oh my gosh.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: You know, it's just the star studded ensemble of people.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: And someone was like, you know, do you see anyone
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: that you want to meet? And I go, oh my god,
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: I'd love to. I'd love to meet Tom Hanks. He's
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: like my favorite actor. Okay, well, let's walk over. So
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: as we're walking over, and it was Alan Racketten actually,
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: who was executive sort of Oprah at the time. Let's
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: go walk over. And as we're walking over, she goes, Tom,
• 29:51

• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, and I'm like I literally could have
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: like passed out. And what was incredible was I sat
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: and talked to him for like half an hour. He
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: and Rita and I just loved them. But I've run
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: into him probably maybe six times seven times over the
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: course of the last several years. And every time I do,
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: I'm always the guy that doesn't want to bug him,
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: you know, like the situation as such, and so I'll
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: just like, you know, like many times on the Today Show,
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: you know, when I used to do the Today's show
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: Man panel, and he would be there doing something for
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: a new movie or whatever, and I'd see him and
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: I'd be kind of on the other side of the room,
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: and so I'd just be like, oh, I'm not gonna
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: bug him, you know, and he probably doesn't remember me anyway,
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: and he would figure out a way and this is
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: just Tom Hanks, man, I'm telling you. He would figure
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: out a way to come by, and as he'd be
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: like walking past me, he would go, oh, oh my gosh,
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: it's my old buddy Bob who's too cool to say
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: hi to his friend Tom. That's awesome, and I'd be like, no, no,
• 30:51

• 30:53
  Speaker 2: so funny. It just like always one of those things
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: where the way he would do it was such a
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: way that was like, I don't know, it just took
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: the steam out of it in like a great way. Yeah.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: Oh he's so he'd be like, oh yeah, just too
• 31:06
