0:46
Speaker 1: great time for us to be doing this, this podcast,
0:48
Speaker 1: because you can change, that can change very quickly, as
0:51
Speaker 1: you well know. Well no, I mean, thankfully my kids
0:55
Speaker 1: aren't at the age where there you know, screaming and crying. Um,
1:00
Speaker 1: but I do have a sick daughter at home today,
1:03
Speaker 1: which is Yeah, it's a bummer, especially because this is
1:07
Speaker 1: recital week, and for dancers, recital week is your only
1:10
Speaker 1: week you know, you get to show if you if
1:13
Speaker 1: you're a hockey player. Max has however, many thirty forty
1:17
Speaker 1: whatever hockey games in a season. This is one one
1:20
Speaker 1: recital weekend. So I'm like, you are just going to
1:24
Speaker 1: chug some water. You are going to and she's not
1:27
Speaker 1: necessarily really sick, it's just she's feeling low and low
1:31
Speaker 1: grade fever. So I'm like, get lots of water on you,
1:35
Speaker 1: and you just are going to lay in bed all days. Namesake,
1:40
Speaker 1: Blake just had a bison pouch. I mean, it's so weird.
1:45
Speaker 1: So okay, this is what we talked about here almost
1:48
Speaker 1: famous rg my. I mean, whatever happens. So when they
1:52
Speaker 1: came up with the pouches for babies, right, and you
1:54
Speaker 1: see people with those little pouches of food, and I
1:57
Speaker 1: always thought, I don't know what you're talking about. What
1:59
Speaker 1: do you mean, like like a squirt like a tube? Yes,
2:02
Speaker 1: so kind of like a tube, like you can squirt
2:04
Speaker 1: the food into their mouth or you can squirt them.
2:06
Speaker 1: But it's just a way of well, my wife, my
2:10
Speaker 1: wife is super mom to the degree of her like
2:14
Speaker 1: going online and researching things. She felt like our son
2:17
Speaker 1: needed some more protein, and so she found these meat pouches.
2:21
Speaker 1: It's the best way to put It's a meat pouch.
2:24
Speaker 1: They have. It's the grossest thing I've ever seen in
2:26
Speaker 1: my life. It's like, Bison what And uh, We're in
2:32
Speaker 1: my car the other day and she's you know, she's
2:34
Speaker 1: she's like, oh, I just gave Blake a Bison pouch
2:37
Speaker 1: and like that sounds gross and she's like, and I
2:40
Speaker 1: can't find it. I dropped it somewhere, Like you did
2:43
Speaker 1: not drop it on the floor. Yeah, well yeah, I'm like,
2:45
Speaker 1: is it on the floor of my car? Because I
2:47
Speaker 1: will freak out? And uh, we finally tracked it down,
2:51
Speaker 1: but needless to say, now I'm looking at mobile detailing
2:53
Speaker 1: services because that's why. So before we got on the zoom,
3:00
Speaker 1: Bob was explaining that he was in the search for
3:03
Speaker 1: mobile detailing that he can't find anybody because everybody's book
3:06
Speaker 1: and now booked. And now I know why. That makes
3:09
Speaker 1: total sense because can you imagine stuck in your car
3:13
Speaker 1: in the heat and oh the stench of that. Um,
3:20
Speaker 1: this was my this is my birthday gift from my
3:22
Speaker 1: son sweets. Isn't that nice? I love that. It's very
3:30
Speaker 1: good at gift giving, you know, Grayson really is. He
3:33
Speaker 1: gets out there, he gets his hands dirty, starts digging
3:35
Speaker 1: through some bins, and this one actually looked like it
3:38
Speaker 1: could have been made by him because it's not technically Uh,
3:43
Speaker 1: it doesn't. It doesn't measure up. It's not like that.
3:45
Speaker 1: It's all warped and weird, and you know, I kind
3:48
Speaker 1: of like it, just like his daddy, all warped in weird. Yeah,
3:54
Speaker 1: that's what you should put in your bio, all warped
3:56
Speaker 1: in weird. Um. So, so, okay, we have some big
4:01
Speaker 1: news and Bachelor Nation. Yeah, we sure do. It's crazy, Holy,
4:07
Speaker 1: this is big, Like I I don't I don't recall.
4:10
Speaker 1: I feel like since the Bachelor started, it has always
4:15
Speaker 1: been primetime fall, Like that's when the leads come out
4:20
Speaker 1: and the new season hits. Always since our time. Um well,
4:26
Speaker 1: I mean it's always because you're right. And they just
4:31
Speaker 1: announced that Bachelor in Paradise is kind of taking over
4:36
Speaker 1: Primes so they are taking the Dancing with the Stars slot, which,
4:41
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, Dancing with the Stars is now moving
4:43
Speaker 1: to Disney Plus, which is a huge move to you know,
4:49
Speaker 1: the streaming thing. I mean, it's crazy because I'm not
4:51
Speaker 1: a big streaming content person. Um yeah, you know, I'm
4:55
Speaker 1: very technically, Uh, I'm a dinosaur when it comes to
4:58
Speaker 1: that stuff. I don't know what I'm doing. I'm very
5:00
Speaker 1: challenge but they everybody's making these big investments in this
5:03
Speaker 1: streaming stuff, and I mean I do now, you know,
5:06
Speaker 1: with we have like a really cool little kind of
5:08
Speaker 1: movie theater room in my house and I go in
5:10
Speaker 1: there and pull pull up Hulu and pull up this
5:11
Speaker 1: and pull up that. And yes, now Dancing the Star
5:14
Speaker 1: is gonna be on Disney Plus, which is bananas. It's bananas.
5:20
Speaker 1: I really feel like this is kind of a signal
5:24
Speaker 1: as to how the world of media. I mean, it
5:28
Speaker 1: has been changing for years, obviously with all of the apps. Um,
5:33
Speaker 1: but this is huge, I feel like for the network
5:35
Speaker 1: to do, especially because Bachelorette or Bachelor has always been
5:40
Speaker 1: kind of the the top of the tier in you know,
5:45
Speaker 1: Bachelor Nation shows. Um, but I guess Bachelor in Paradise,
5:49
Speaker 1: I mean, and it's going to be four hours every
5:52
Speaker 1: week four hours of Bachelor in Paradise, which I personally love.
5:56
Speaker 1: I mean, I love seeing all of the characters from
5:59
Speaker 1: all different seasons interact and you know, not just from
6:03
Speaker 1: one season. I obviously love Bachelorette and will be excited
6:08
Speaker 1: when it comes out this summer, which it will be
6:10
Speaker 1: out this summer. I don't know if we mentioned that.
6:13
Speaker 1: So instead of fall, Bachelorette is moving to the summer,
6:16
Speaker 1: and then Bachelor in Paradise is moving to Dancing with
6:19
Speaker 1: the Stars, the Dancing with the Star slot. What do
6:21
Speaker 1: you think, like, do you think that people are gonna
6:24
Speaker 1: continue to watch? You think they're going to show up more?
6:28
Speaker 1: You think the ratings are going to be better like this?
6:30
Speaker 1: What do you think? You know? I mean, it's gonna
6:32
Speaker 1: be interesting to see. I mean one thing about it, though,
6:34
Speaker 1: I mean I don't particularly I'm not super invested in
6:38
Speaker 1: it myself for being a viewer from that perspective, But
6:42
Speaker 1: it is a lot more fun, right, there's not there's
6:44
Speaker 1: not this like onus on you know, Oh, if they
6:47
Speaker 1: don't get engaged, then they're a failure. It's basically like Mayhem.
6:50
Speaker 1: And then you're gonna have you know, Jesse stepping in.
6:53
Speaker 1: Jesse's gonna step in on this one to host at
6:54
Speaker 1: Wells is going to be the carryover factor from the
6:57
Speaker 1: bartender perspective, which I think he was a great job,
7:00
Speaker 1: super cool guy. I agree, you know, I think I
7:02
Speaker 1: think it's going to be still a fun show. It's
7:04
Speaker 1: it's actually probably gonna be a lot more fun for
7:06
Speaker 1: the viewer from the standpoint is watching all this craziness
7:09
Speaker 1: because in the past, I think it was an hour long, right,
7:13
Speaker 1: and now it's going to be two hours on Monday
7:15
Speaker 1: and two hours on Tuesday. Is that right? Um, let's see,
7:18
Speaker 1: we'll be tuesdays. Yeah, Monday We're Dancing with the Stars
7:23
Speaker 1: was and then Tuesday for two hours each. Yeah, that's
7:27
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, that's that's a lot for these
7:29
Speaker 1: producers who we all know are crazy. Well, you know what,
7:33
Speaker 1: it's it's a lot more for the editors because there's
7:35
Speaker 1: always been footage, Like what everyone sees from the shows
7:39
Speaker 1: is a fraction of what happens, so much of it
7:43
Speaker 1: ends up on the cutting room floor. So I feel
7:46
Speaker 1: like we just get to see more of that that
7:49
Speaker 1: ends up on the cutting room floor, which I think
7:51
Speaker 1: is great for context. Yeah, I think it's just madness.
7:53
Speaker 1: I think one thing about these shows that I think
7:55
Speaker 1: it is so fun. I think when they first did
7:57
Speaker 1: um okay was it was Bachelor Pass Bachelor Pet So
8:03
Speaker 1: I think I may have told you this story. I'm
8:04
Speaker 1: not sure if I did or not, but they called
8:06
Speaker 1: me I was I was a single at the time,
8:09
Speaker 1: and they called me. They're like, hey, would you I
8:11
Speaker 1: want to come on Bachlar Pad and I thought they
8:12
Speaker 1: meant to host it, so I go, I go, sure,
8:15
Speaker 1: that'd be a lot of fun. I would totally host
8:17
Speaker 1: that show. I'm like, Chris is cool with it. I mean,
8:19
Speaker 1: I go, Chris is my boy, you know, And they go, oh, no, no,
8:22
Speaker 1: we want to get a lead to come on the
8:25
Speaker 1: show who's not currently in a relate and we we
8:27
Speaker 1: just think you'd be the right guy. Friend. I'm like
8:28
Speaker 1: me for Bachelor Pat and they go yeah, go no, no, no, no,
8:32
Speaker 1: and that's what you mean. I said, Well, I go,
8:34
Speaker 1: First of all, I'll get killed on that show. I'm like,
8:36
Speaker 1: I am not. They're like, well, you know there's you're
8:39
Speaker 1: very athletic, we know that. I'm like, oh no, I
8:40
Speaker 1: don't mean like that. I said. I am the guy
8:42
Speaker 1: that would go on there and just be all open book, trusty, nicey,
8:45
Speaker 1: sweet guy. I go, and these people are coming on
8:47
Speaker 1: like Survivor style with alliances and missions. I can see it.
8:52
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'll get destroyed. I'm like that'd be like
8:55
Speaker 1: I'm a celebrity, get me out of here or whatever
8:56
Speaker 1: that show was where you go they're all just you know,
8:59
Speaker 1: going after each I'm like, absolutely not, man, I'm like,
9:02
Speaker 1: this was for the first season, for the first one. Yeah,
9:05
Speaker 1: So after when you were watching it, I assume you
9:07
Speaker 1: watched it, did you think, Oh, I wish I would
9:10
Speaker 1: have done it, or I'm like, you're like a smart man.
9:14
Speaker 1: I was so proud of myself because I'm like, I
9:16
Speaker 1: said no, but I mean I said know a lot
9:18
Speaker 1: of stuff, but that one in particular, I was like,
9:20
Speaker 1: thank god I didn't do this because I would have
9:24
Speaker 1: been oh my gosh. I mean, it was tough enough.
9:27
Speaker 1: When we were talking to Prince Lazobo last week, it
9:30
Speaker 1: was tough enough to go out there and be on
9:32
Speaker 1: camera in front of your family anyway in a dating
9:34
Speaker 1: scenario and things that nature. To go on there and
9:36
Speaker 1: just be destroyed. Yeah, yeah, not a chance. I'm not
9:41
Speaker 1: cut thrown enough, Like I'm not the guy that could
9:43
Speaker 1: be nice to you. And then when you walk away
9:45
Speaker 1: and be like, let's get them, like, I just I
9:47
Speaker 1: can't do it. We need to have a couple of
9:48
Speaker 1: people from the original season of Bachelor pad on here.
9:52
Speaker 1: Let's get what we do. We have, we have we
9:54
Speaker 1: have a guest today who's going to be on there?
9:55
Speaker 1: It was well, true story, true story. I I I'm
9:58
Speaker 1: thinking about Holly Um because Holly. Wasn't it the first
10:02
Speaker 1: season that she won or split the money? Oh no?
10:06
Speaker 1: What didn't it come down to? Uh? To a guy
10:08
Speaker 1: and a girl stand there, And the twist was they
10:12
Speaker 1: had to say they were either going to split the
10:14
Speaker 1: money or one was going to keep it, and the
10:16
Speaker 1: dude kept it. The dude kept it, Yes, and she
10:19
Speaker 1: was right. I need to remember who those people are.
10:24
Speaker 1: But Um. In the meantime, while we're figuring this out,
10:27
Speaker 1: because I really would love to talk about Bachelor Pad,
10:29
Speaker 1: I feel like you and I should watch the first
10:32
Speaker 1: season or at least maybe a synopsis of it if
10:35
Speaker 1: we can find one, and and get back with what
10:39
Speaker 1: happened back then and then have a couple of people on.
10:41
Speaker 1: But we do have our first guest today, somebody that
10:45
Speaker 1: I actually adore and somebody who there she is, well,
10:51
Speaker 1: she's she's here, so she didn't even give me time,
10:56
Speaker 1: which her fault. It's sorry, so great to see you,
11:00
Speaker 1: and I don't think i've ever met you in person. No,
11:03
Speaker 1: we've never gotten to meet before. Never both of you
11:09
Speaker 1: need that needs to happen because both of you are
11:11
Speaker 1: just two of my faves. Um, thank you all right, Tilly,
11:16
Speaker 1: how are you? What is up? You know obviously lots
11:20
Speaker 1: have changed, A lot has changed since you were on
11:22
Speaker 1: the show, shows, lots of Bachelor in Paradise is how
11:26
Speaker 1: is life now? Tell us about you know what's going on? Oh?
11:32
Speaker 1: Life is so good. Um, they just celebrated four years
11:36
Speaker 1: of marriage to my husband Taylor. We have a almost
11:40
Speaker 1: twenty months old daughter and she is just growing so
11:44
Speaker 1: fast and a ton of fun. Um, but we're actually
11:48
Speaker 1: in that very challenging stage. I am a little bit
11:51
Speaker 1: behind schedule this morning because she just wanted to do
11:54
Speaker 1: what she wanted to do, so she how long my plan?
11:58
Speaker 1: But life is so of course, I think that stage
12:00
Speaker 1: continues until they're teenagers, right, Trista, No, I think it
12:03
Speaker 1: continues through teenagers. Yeah, but that was actually one of
12:09
Speaker 1: my favorite ages because they you can really see their
12:13
Speaker 1: personalities shining through, Like they can talk, they can walk,
12:16
Speaker 1: you know. There they're probably going to give you a
12:20
Speaker 1: little bit of a hard time every so often, but
12:22
Speaker 1: they still love to cuddle and I just love that stage.
12:26
Speaker 1: From this section though, is getting real like where she's
12:31
Speaker 1: where it's not just baby cuddles and snuggles. It's like
12:34
Speaker 1: she's cho things to be like mama. You know, it's
12:38
Speaker 1: so good, Kenley, What was your daughter's first words? Where
12:42
Speaker 1: it was it mama or was it dada? Know? It
12:44
Speaker 1: was data And it was like on my birthday left
12:47
Speaker 1: here like so about a year ago tomorrow, um, and
12:52
Speaker 1: she said data and it was just devastating. Are you kidding?
13:00
Speaker 1: Or what Mother's day? It was either my birthday or
13:02
Speaker 1: Mother's day. She said data, Happy birthday tomorrow. And that's
13:06
Speaker 1: a bumber. My son, my my my son who's now
13:09
Speaker 1: three and a half, his first words were dada, at
13:11
Speaker 1: which I was very excited about. And then our our
13:14
Speaker 1: baby who's almost eleven, minds on the first his first
13:18
Speaker 1: words came out the other day and they were mama.
13:25
Speaker 1: I had one or the like one for both of you.
13:32
Speaker 1: Really really cool though, But it's so funny how I am.
13:36
Speaker 1: I was My mind was blown that I was like
13:39
Speaker 1: the one that was doing everything for this time and
13:42
Speaker 1: she said data. But I think it's just all you had, Mama.
13:47
Speaker 1: She didn't have to ask for me. That's a good point.
13:50
Speaker 1: It's that's the way to look at it. And I think,
13:54
Speaker 1: if I remember correctly when I was studying child development
13:57
Speaker 1: as a pediatric physical therapist, I believe mom, mama is
14:01
Speaker 1: easier to say than the d's the opposite. I think
14:07
Speaker 1: the ds are easier to say than the than the mama.
14:10
Speaker 1: I think you've had it right the first time. I mean,
14:11
Speaker 1: I think the other one I've been out just like
14:17
Speaker 1: mumble mumble mumble. I'm like that. That doesn't sound like
14:19
Speaker 1: mama to me. Dad as definitive. That takes time. Oh, yes, right, exactly.
14:24
Speaker 1: Gi Um okay, Tunley. So we just announced um that
14:29
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've heard yet, but Bachelor in
14:31
Speaker 1: Paradise is taking over for the Dancing with the Spot
14:35
Speaker 1: stars spot on Monday nights in the fall and Tuesday nights,
14:40
Speaker 1: so it will be four hours a Bachelor in Paradise
14:43
Speaker 1: in the fall, and then The Bachelorette is airing in
14:45
Speaker 1: the summer. Yeah wait, that's okay, that's huge. I do
14:49
Speaker 1: think that Paradise is such a hit and people love
14:53
Speaker 1: to watch it. There's so many more avenues to get
14:56
Speaker 1: invested in with all the different relationships and even dramas
15:01
Speaker 1: and circles and triangles and all that stuff. But I
15:05
Speaker 1: am blown away what happened Dancing with the starts. They're
15:08
Speaker 1: going on Disney Plus streaming platform. Yeah, isn't that crazy?
15:14
Speaker 1: I mean, huge decision for ABC. I guess they're neck
15:18
Speaker 1: and neck and ratings too, so it's not it's not
15:20
Speaker 1: too dissimilar of a move for them, right is that
15:22
Speaker 1: what we were reading? So um, yeah, this show is
15:27
Speaker 1: oh really, oh my god, Well that's such a shock.
15:30
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm a big fan. I have to admit
15:32
Speaker 1: that over the last couple of years as a dancer,
15:35
Speaker 1: like I actually have stopped watching Dancing with the Stars.
15:40
Speaker 1: I you know, I would if somebody I was familiar
15:43
Speaker 1: with was on. I try to catch their dances or
15:45
Speaker 1: cheer for them or you know, support them however possible.
15:48
Speaker 1: But but something which is funny. I know that this
15:52
Speaker 1: isn't the same for all past former Bachelor people, but like,
15:57
Speaker 1: I can't miss a paradise, so a right move. But
16:02
Speaker 1: I am actually shocked, but regrets to the Bachelor of
16:04
Speaker 1: franchise on that that's a big move. But when you
16:08
Speaker 1: happened with Bachelorette airing during the summer, though, I know
16:12
Speaker 1: I'm really wondering if people are going to tune in
16:15
Speaker 1: more or less, Like I I think that they really
16:19
Speaker 1: wanted you know, it was it was totally water cooler
16:21
Speaker 1: talk when it came to Bachelor in Paradise, like and
16:24
Speaker 1: it's the same with Bachelorette. But like you said, with
16:27
Speaker 1: all of the cast of characters, there's so many, so
16:30
Speaker 1: many different avenues instead of just kind of one relationship
16:34
Speaker 1: with multiple people. So I am really interested to see
16:39
Speaker 1: what happens well, and they do. I mean, they're kind
16:42
Speaker 1: of pulling. I guess if they're going to try it
16:45
Speaker 1: right now would be the time because they're kind of
16:48
Speaker 1: pulling in that same effort. In a sense, with two
16:52
Speaker 1: bachelorette there will be a little bit more to get
16:54
Speaker 1: invested in, like you get invested in very true about
16:59
Speaker 1: why old and how they planned that line up. So, Telly,
17:02
Speaker 1: what was your experience, like I'm Bachelor in Paradise. Was
17:04
Speaker 1: it awesome? Did you have a blast? I don't recall,
17:06
Speaker 1: I mean, I know I watched it, but yeah, well, um,
17:10
Speaker 1: I'll give you a little background up it. I went
17:15
Speaker 1: I was a runner up on Jake Pavel because season
17:19
Speaker 1: and God had me there, um um into know I
17:27
Speaker 1: had a really really great time. I was actually just
17:30
Speaker 1: the perfect thing for me. I end up going on
17:32
Speaker 1: the first Bachelor Pad and UM ended up in a
17:37
Speaker 1: relationship for a long time from that, and then ended
17:39
Speaker 1: up single. And then it was the perfect timing when
17:42
Speaker 1: I got the offer to go on the second season
17:44
Speaker 1: of Paradise. And when I was there, I had the
17:47
Speaker 1: bedtime because I, UM, for the first time, I was
17:51
Speaker 1: just really ready and to focus on exactly the things
17:56
Speaker 1: that I wanted. UM, but I also knew that I
17:59
Speaker 1: could have a good time and UM by that point,
18:02
Speaker 1: it being my third show, kind of looking forward to
18:05
Speaker 1: that excuse to put your phone away, uh, saying up
18:09
Speaker 1: the responsibilities of work and stuff and just to play
18:12
Speaker 1: and get to know people and kind of like check
18:14
Speaker 1: in with myself. And that's probably the coolest part of
18:18
Speaker 1: all of that stuff. UM, You're forced to strip yourself
18:23
Speaker 1: of those things, and I really took advantage of that inward,
18:27
Speaker 1: looking at myself like UM and growing each time. So
18:30
Speaker 1: Paradise was a great experience. UM didn't walk away in
18:33
Speaker 1: a relationship, but that was a perfect setup for then
18:38
Speaker 1: meeting my husband not too long after that. Yeah, I
18:41
Speaker 1: love how you put that I have. I don't know
18:44
Speaker 1: that I've ever heard anyone explain our situations in going
18:49
Speaker 1: on any of the Bachelor, Bachelor at Bachelor Pad, Bachelor
18:52
Speaker 1: in Paradise that way, and that you were grateful, like
18:55
Speaker 1: you were looking forward to that part. Most of just
19:00
Speaker 1: you know, not looking at your phone, not connecting to
19:02
Speaker 1: your computer, throwing your responsibilities or hanging them up as
19:05
Speaker 1: you say, yeah, I think that's a great way to
19:08
Speaker 1: look at it. By the third time, you kind of
19:10
Speaker 1: know that you get to do that. The first time
19:13
Speaker 1: I had when I was on the Bachelor, I didn't
19:17
Speaker 1: have any expectations. I thought, you know, I was going
19:20
Speaker 1: to be the first night girl, like go home and
19:22
Speaker 1: all that stuff. But um, just there there were different
19:27
Speaker 1: plans for me and it ended up being I think
19:29
Speaker 1: because I went out went in with no expectations at all. UM,
19:34
Speaker 1: it allowed me to have this really well. I was
19:37
Speaker 1: a very broken person coming out of a really hard
19:41
Speaker 1: um relationship of going into the Bachelor, and it was
19:44
Speaker 1: really young and naive, and UM, I just feel like
19:49
Speaker 1: I was able to use that experience because again with
19:52
Speaker 1: no expectation, UM to really heal And that was kind
19:57
Speaker 1: of my first set up to really understanding like what
20:00
Speaker 1: I could use the show for. Of course, like there's
20:03
Speaker 1: all these other wonderful opportunities that come of it, But
20:06
Speaker 1: for me, at the end of the day, every single
20:09
Speaker 1: one of those experiences have been a growing experience. So
20:12
Speaker 1: it's kind of sad to be how everybody does go
20:14
Speaker 1: in with an agenda. Not everybody, but now most definitely
20:19
Speaker 1: an agenda. Um, there's definitely an expectation, there's definitely an
20:24
Speaker 1: idea of what can happen or what you're going to
20:26
Speaker 1: face because we've seen it all and we've seen what
20:30
Speaker 1: people the opportunity that people come out with, and I'm
20:32
Speaker 1: grateful for those, but it's it's interesting. I don't think
20:35
Speaker 1: that anybody's experiencing quite like what I did. Yeah, well,
20:41
Speaker 1: imagine imagine back in mine, in Trista's days, when it
20:44
Speaker 1: was you know, still black and white TV, and I
20:48
Speaker 1: mean we literally we had zero expectations. I remember Lisa
20:56
Speaker 1: even saying to me, like, what did you what did
20:57
Speaker 1: you expect was going to happen? When after they had
21:00
Speaker 1: me to be a bachelor and stuff, And I'm like,
21:01
Speaker 1: not this, I have no idea what I thought was
21:03
Speaker 1: gonna happen, you know, it was like she's like, yeah,
21:06
Speaker 1: this is crazy. I'm like, this is banez. But that
21:08
Speaker 1: is really nice. That's refreshing to hear you say that,
21:10
Speaker 1: because I think that's very true, Like you came out
21:12
Speaker 1: of it and you always I mean, I remember you
21:14
Speaker 1: from Afar, like I remember you from being on that.
21:16
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest. I didn't remember it was Jake
21:18
Speaker 1: season though, but I remembered you being the runner up
21:20
Speaker 1: and thinking, oh my god, what was he thinking? And
21:23
Speaker 1: then you know, and then um, you know, seeing you
21:26
Speaker 1: do things later on and always you know, and I
21:29
Speaker 1: remember your relationship that you got in from Bachelor Pad
21:31
Speaker 1: and I liked you guys together too, and so you know,
21:34
Speaker 1: it was nice to see that you're happy and you
21:36
Speaker 1: have your family and you're doing everything that you're doing.
21:38
Speaker 1: So we love seeing that. Thank you so much. Um,
21:43
Speaker 1: I'm actually curious because I've been listening to you guys
21:46
Speaker 1: your O G podcast. It's been fun. It was funny here,
21:49
Speaker 1: Tristo was um laughing when she called me. She kind
21:54
Speaker 1: of shared last I think it was last week's podcast, right,
21:56
Speaker 1: but she found money in a glove box when she
21:59
Speaker 1: had called me, and I was like, she just kept laughing,
22:01
Speaker 1: and I was like Trisa, I thought she had a
22:03
Speaker 1: couple of mimosas. Um. But it's been so fun listening
22:07
Speaker 1: to you guys, and I'm so curious, like, um, if
22:11
Speaker 1: either of you have experienced kind of or if either
22:14
Speaker 1: of you experienced back in the day, if you can
22:16
Speaker 1: think of like that internal change, do you remember like
22:20
Speaker 1: any bit of a wake up for you after all that.
22:23
Speaker 1: I mean, Tristi got married and Ryan and everything, but
22:25
Speaker 1: like if you think back was there like a big
22:28
Speaker 1: shift in like I don't know. For me, it was
22:32
Speaker 1: may change my life, oh one percent. I mean, had
22:36
Speaker 1: I not applied to be on the show, I would
22:40
Speaker 1: maybe still be working in Miami as a physical therapist.
22:44
Speaker 1: Not that that was a bad thing, It's just my
22:47
Speaker 1: life would be completely different. And I hate to even
22:52
Speaker 1: think this, but my children would not exist, you know,
22:55
Speaker 1: saying for Bob probably even though you didn't meet just
23:00
Speaker 1: on you know, on the show, I feel like our
23:02
Speaker 1: path has just led us to where we are today.
23:06
Speaker 1: So one hundred percent the show was was the impetus
23:12
Speaker 1: for the biggest change of my life in the best
23:13
Speaker 1: way for me at least. Yeah, Well, I think we
23:16
Speaker 1: talked about that last week, Tristan and I for some reason,
23:18
Speaker 1: we're on this conversation about how, you know, it's become
23:21
Speaker 1: kind of popular for people to come off the show
23:23
Speaker 1: and sort of bash it a little bit, and we
23:25
Speaker 1: were both you know, of a different perspective than that.
23:28
Speaker 1: Like I, you know, obviously I was the victim of
23:31
Speaker 1: a good at it from the Bachelor, at which then
23:33
Speaker 1: made me the Bachelor, and um, you know, I was
23:36
Speaker 1: thankful for that, and and and then after the Bachelor,
23:38
Speaker 1: it was it was, you know, pretty great from that
23:40
Speaker 1: point forward too. But you know, because my life has
23:43
Speaker 1: turned out the way that it is, I'm very grateful
23:45
Speaker 1: for my experiences on the show. And I think, um,
23:48
Speaker 1: you know, it's like that movie Sliding Doors, right, if
23:51
Speaker 1: if something was different, like the butterfly effect of something
23:54
Speaker 1: is different, than everything is different, you know, And so
23:57
Speaker 1: I'm thankful for the experiences from the show. Big time
24:00
Speaker 1: cudn't getting to meet you ten. I mean, I feel
24:02
Speaker 1: like we've had so many great moments, you being at
24:05
Speaker 1: the house, Like Blakesley just adores you, and every time
24:07
Speaker 1: we get to see you, and I mean you came
24:10
Speaker 1: to I think Broncos Junior Denver Bronco Cheerleaders auditions one
24:14
Speaker 1: year with your family, I feel like you were here.
24:17
Speaker 1: So anyway, like the relationships, I've said this multiple times,
24:21
Speaker 1: but the relationships are you know, the biggest, the biggest
24:25
Speaker 1: buss things to me and on on that trip that
24:29
Speaker 1: there was a time that you and Ryan even listened
24:31
Speaker 1: to me just cry and go on and on over um,
24:35
Speaker 1: just a relationship season. This was before I met Taylor,
24:38
Speaker 1: and I was just so stuck and hopeful and confused.
24:43
Speaker 1: But you guys are such good listeners and good friends
24:45
Speaker 1: and I'm grateful for that too. I love you. Okay,
24:50
Speaker 1: I think that you need to go right, you have
24:53
Speaker 1: to go. I have no clue where I am to
24:55
Speaker 1: be honest um, and which Also it's over. Thank you,
25:01
Speaker 1: thank you for your time. Well, I wouldn't want to
25:04
Speaker 1: miss an opportunity to get to connect with you guys
25:06
Speaker 1: and just like say hi and support you guys. I'm
25:09
Speaker 1: so excited. I love listening to your stories. I love
25:12
Speaker 1: listening to stories because, um, you know, I actually I
25:16
Speaker 1: don't remember completely. I remember your wedding, Trista, but I
25:20
Speaker 1: don't remember all of the past history of of Bachelor.
25:24
Speaker 1: But I kind of would watch it and stuff, and
25:27
Speaker 1: then um, after I was on the Bachelor, then I
25:29
Speaker 1: started really watching it. But it's just so fun to
25:32
Speaker 1: relive and hear your guys memories because it brings up good,
25:35
Speaker 1: positive stuff and weird stuff for me too. It's like
25:40
Speaker 1: a counseling session, just letting you guys pass it out
25:43
Speaker 1: for me. Yeah, there you go. Well, thank you for
25:49
Speaker 1: having me, and hope to chat with you guys do
25:51
Speaker 1: and hope to see you soon. Good to meet you too. Hugs. Okay, well,
26:00
Speaker 1: okay bye. She is so sweet. Yes, if we did
26:08
Speaker 1: superlatives for the Bachelor Nation, everybody in Bachelor Nation, I
26:14
Speaker 1: feel like she would get the sweetest word. You know.
26:17
Speaker 1: It seems very genuine, like from a very genuine Yes.
26:22
Speaker 1: I just adore her. I can't remember exactly where we met.
26:25
Speaker 1: I'm sure it was at a Bachelor function, but um
26:29
Speaker 1: it actually I think it was Bachelor Pad, the first Bachelor,
26:33
Speaker 1: So she was on the first Bachelor Pad and I
26:37
Speaker 1: was there with Jason Mesnick and Ali Fatatowski and I
26:43
Speaker 1: think Molly was there too. Um in Vegas, we shot.
26:48
Speaker 1: We were like the judges for this day. Remember, I
26:54
Speaker 1: think that was her season. Maybe it was Michelle Money.
26:57
Speaker 1: So our next guest, it is Michelle Money. And she
27:01
Speaker 1: was on Bachelor Pad two, and so I'll have to
27:04
Speaker 1: ask her if that was where I met her or
27:07
Speaker 1: I know I was a judge for something on Bachelor
27:10
Speaker 1: Pad one. Um, so I bet that's where I met Tilly.
27:14
Speaker 1: But we just hit it off. She's she's a kind
27:18
Speaker 1: of an ex pro dancer and I was a you know,
27:21
Speaker 1: an ex pro dancer. She was a Disney princess like I.
27:24
Speaker 1: It just all I loved watching her on the Bachelor.
27:28
Speaker 1: I just her personality is just she's just one of
27:31
Speaker 1: those girls when you're a girl's girl, she's just one
27:34
Speaker 1: of those people you want to be friends with. Um,
27:37
Speaker 1: she's super sweet. I mean, I mean it's very easy
27:39
Speaker 1: to see. And I remember, you know, they always say
27:41
Speaker 1: like that, like being on television is a very transparent experience, right,
27:44
Speaker 1: because it's hard to hide from who you portray yourself
27:47
Speaker 1: to be on television because it's usually who you are.
27:50
Speaker 1: And I remember watching that show, watching all the shows
27:53
Speaker 1: at that time, and thinking, God, she's awesome, you know.
27:56
Speaker 1: And then I remember meeting I think she Diddie Kipton
28:00
Speaker 1: after after the show, and and I really liked him,
28:04
Speaker 1: and I liked them together, you know, and then you know,
28:07
Speaker 1: unfortunately that that didn't work out. Unfortunately, I should say,
28:11
Speaker 1: because now she's definitely now she's in a great place
28:14
Speaker 1: and she's got a beautiful baby in a wonderful marriage,
28:16
Speaker 1: and it's like, you know, four years, that's awesome. I mean,
28:19
Speaker 1: that's it's crazy to think that that's it's been for
28:21
Speaker 1: I mean, I think of of myself and Kenyon. I'm like,
28:23
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, we're on six years. Like that's crazy.
28:27
Speaker 1: You know, I could take all my previous marriages added
28:30
Speaker 1: together and they don't even equal that much. I couldn't myself.
28:39
Speaker 1: We are, yeah, you know, but but yeah, she's super
28:42
Speaker 1: cool me and I'm really excited for her and happy
28:44
Speaker 1: for her and um and hopeful that she finds her
28:46
Speaker 1: way to her doctor's appointment because clearly she was lost.
28:49
Speaker 1: Yeah I know. Well, yeah, I agreed. I that's hard.
28:56
Speaker 1: I mean, I rely on navigation for everything. I would
28:58
Speaker 1: not be able to have a conversation. And if I
29:00
Speaker 1: was trying to find somewhere where I have no way,
29:03
Speaker 1: do you know, I'm so bad that I plug in
29:05
Speaker 1: the grocery store and I already know where I'm going
29:07
Speaker 1: to do. Not stop it right now, I know, but
29:11
Speaker 1: I do it habitually from when I was in l
29:13
Speaker 1: A for fifteen twenty years. Um then because you need
29:16
Speaker 1: to know if there's traffic. Yeah, totally, I get. That
29:21
Speaker 1: is the grocery store from you five minutes two. It's
29:28
Speaker 1: so close direction I'm pretty you know, I'm an orienteering man,
29:38
Speaker 1: but I can't find my way around. Okay, that is
29:41
Speaker 1: kind of that is really funny. Caitlin Bristow on her
29:45
Speaker 1: Off the Bind podcast. She does like kind of like confessions,
29:48
Speaker 1: and I feel like that's kind of like a confession, Like, uh,
29:52
Speaker 1: and it's embarrassing that I'm admitting this, but I do
29:55
Speaker 1: navigation to my grocery store this three minutes. I am
29:57
Speaker 1: directionally challenged. Yes I am. There's a no question, technologically challenged. Directionally.
30:03
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm challenged in so many ways. Oh, don't
30:06
Speaker 1: we know it? No, I'm just kidding. Oh, you died
30:11
Speaker 1: a bullet here, I died a bullet. Thank you for
30:16
Speaker 1: saying that's right, for many reasons, for many reasons. Thank got.
30:35
Speaker 1: Let's get back to the show. So the Bachelor had
30:37
Speaker 1: just wrapped filming, which is really exciting. I followed Gabby
30:41
Speaker 1: Um and Rachel both on social media, but I saw
30:44
Speaker 1: a story pop up for her and I was like, Oh,
30:47
Speaker 1: she must be done with filming. But I don't I
30:49
Speaker 1: didn't know if you know her stories, like, you know
30:53
Speaker 1: they get pushed if you if you're on Instagram, you
30:55
Speaker 1: know that you if you follow as many people as
30:58
Speaker 1: I do, I feel like only if few of them
31:00
Speaker 1: show up like regularly, and then all the rest of
31:03
Speaker 1: them are pushed back. So I was like, I don't
31:05
Speaker 1: know if the rest of her stories had been pushed
31:07
Speaker 1: back or not, but I just saw her story pop up.
31:11
Speaker 1: So she's done filming, and I want to know, are you,
31:15
Speaker 1: first of all, are you going to watch this season?
31:17
Speaker 1: Since especially if we're doing this, are you gonna watch it? Yeah?
31:20
Speaker 1: I think I have to write. I mean, it was
31:21
Speaker 1: kind of like when when we were doing the Man
31:23
Speaker 1: panel on the Today Show. Every every month I had
31:26
Speaker 1: to watch the show because I knew they're going to
31:27
Speaker 1: ask me about it. And so it's gonna it's gonna
31:30
Speaker 1: become destination viewing for me again for sure. Destination viewing, yea,
31:34
Speaker 1: it will be. I will be setting my tvo or
31:37
Speaker 1: whatever you call color screen not black and white anymore.
31:43
Speaker 1: But yeah, and I think it's really interesting, you know.
31:45
Speaker 1: I mean, this was a plot twist of a year,
31:47
Speaker 1: which I'm sure you know more about it than I do,
31:49
Speaker 1: but having two bachelorettes and instead of one of them
31:53
Speaker 1: being or one of them kind of being sent home
31:56
Speaker 1: the first night like what happened way back in the
31:57
Speaker 1: day with Fisherman Byron Velvic and the other guy, and
32:02
Speaker 1: this is a little different twists where both ladies are
32:05
Speaker 1: there for the duration dating the same group of guys,
32:10
Speaker 1: which I don't know how that works, I mean, really
32:13
Speaker 1: you do. But like so if I mean, who how
32:16
Speaker 1: do people get sent home? And you know, obviously I
32:19
Speaker 1: think knowing the devious minds at work behind the scenes,
32:23
Speaker 1: I'm sure they are hoping that both women, would you know,
32:26
Speaker 1: fall for the same guy, you know, um, which I mean,
32:30
Speaker 1: I don't know these ladies at all, so I think
32:32
Speaker 1: they from what I have read about them, both pretty
32:35
Speaker 1: strong personalities and you know, I think, definitely outspoken and
32:40
Speaker 1: not afraid to say how they feel about some things,
32:42
Speaker 1: and and also good friends and also really good friends
32:46
Speaker 1: going into it. So you know, girl code, you know,
32:49
Speaker 1: you don't normally go after the same guys. They're being
32:52
Speaker 1: put into a position that obviously they've agreed to um
32:55
Speaker 1: where they are going to be fighting for the same guys.
32:58
Speaker 1: So I agree with you. I think it's going to
33:00
Speaker 1: be really interesting because I have no clue how it's
33:03
Speaker 1: going to work. How they're going to send people home,
33:05
Speaker 1: Like do they have a box each of them and
33:07
Speaker 1: they put names into who they want to send home,
33:10
Speaker 1: and then if they agree on someone, then someone goes
33:13
Speaker 1: goes home. I don't know. That's really it will be
33:15
Speaker 1: really interesting to see this all unfold because because it
33:20
Speaker 1: is completely different from the format of any season we've
33:24
Speaker 1: ever had before. Whether it's I wonder if they have
33:26
Speaker 1: like a joint rose ceremony where they each have their
33:29
Speaker 1: own little palette of roses and you know to Yeah,
33:34
Speaker 1: some guys will have to h you know, to boutineers
33:37
Speaker 1: or whatever those things. Some will only have one. I
33:40
Speaker 1: don't know. It would be really interesting to see what happens, right,
33:43
Speaker 1: or if they kind of like on Bachelor in Paradise,
33:46
Speaker 1: how you have to be um a couple in order
33:50
Speaker 1: to continue on. And so maybe it's like they'll make
33:56
Speaker 1: the guys choose who they want to stay with. I mean,
33:59
Speaker 1: that would be really awkward because what if a like
34:02
Speaker 1: twenty guys choose one of them and who knows. I'm
34:05
Speaker 1: we're just obviously guessing here as to what the format
34:09
Speaker 1: will look like. Um So anyway, I'm I'm really interested
34:12
Speaker 1: to see. I wonder if there's been any Although I
34:15
Speaker 1: hate this, I hate it when there are spoilers about
34:20
Speaker 1: the show, but I wonder if there has been any
34:23
Speaker 1: uh spoilers out there about the format of it that
34:26
Speaker 1: I'd be okay with spoiling. My guess would be that
34:28
Speaker 1: they're gonna start leaking that, you know. Yeah, from a
34:32
Speaker 1: corporate perspective, I would guess, you know, to kind of
34:34
Speaker 1: start baiting the hook for all of us to want
34:36
Speaker 1: to watch, because I'm sure there are some twists and
34:38
Speaker 1: turns in there that are going to be very different
34:40
Speaker 1: and are going to be you know, very uh drama driven,
34:46
Speaker 1: you know, and so you know, it'll be interesting to say,
34:49
Speaker 1: but yeah, there's always gonna be drama. There's always gonna
34:52
Speaker 1: be drama no matter what, and I think they will
34:55
Speaker 1: make sure that that is included however they can. But
34:58
Speaker 1: I will say that, um, it's it's always bothered me
35:04
Speaker 1: when people are like, I get the bad editor or whatever.
35:09
Speaker 1: I get it. I mean the next get our next
35:11
Speaker 1: guest definitely got a bad edit. Knowing her after she
35:16
Speaker 1: was on the show, she is and it an awesome
35:21
Speaker 1: human being and she did get a bad edit. I
35:25
Speaker 1: feel like she was totally pinned down as the villain.
35:30
Speaker 1: And um, but I feel like, yeah, although I do,
35:37
Speaker 1: I do kind of at the core of my belief
35:40
Speaker 1: about the show. You can't say they can't make you.
35:46
Speaker 1: I mean, they can try to make you, but they
35:48
Speaker 1: can't put words in your mouth. So I feel like
35:53
Speaker 1: if you're if you go on the show and you're
35:55
Speaker 1: sarcastic or whatever, they can use that against you and
35:59
Speaker 1: use that to give you a bad edit or whatever. Um. Yeah,
36:04
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to talking to Michelle. I absolutely love her.
36:10
Speaker 1: We've met I have you met her before? Oh many times? Yeah.
36:13
Speaker 1: I love Michelle Money, yes right, um, yes, she is
36:19
Speaker 1: kind of life of the party. Um, just lays it
36:22
Speaker 1: all on the table, so honest and real and UM,
36:28
Speaker 1: I look up to her as a mom. I feel
36:31
Speaker 1: like her relationship that she has with Brielle is really inspiring.
36:36
Speaker 1: She was a young mom and they have they have
36:38
Speaker 1: essentially grown up together. I feel like, so anyway, UM
36:42
Speaker 1: and she I believe just got engaged last year, UM
36:46
Speaker 1: to a professional golfer, Mike. Is it weird or it's weird? Right?
36:57
Speaker 1: And every season times, every time the UM that tournament
37:02
Speaker 1: comes on. Is it called the tournament? Right? Sure? Yeah,
37:06
Speaker 1: the Master's tournament? Yeah yeah? Can you tell him not
37:10
Speaker 1: a golfer? Um? But every time it comes on, I
37:13
Speaker 1: love watching her stories of them going, you know, because
37:17
Speaker 1: he is like royalty when it comes to I just
37:20
Speaker 1: had an experience this morning where I was talking to
37:22
Speaker 1: a friend and you just reminded me of it where
37:24
Speaker 1: my friend was using an analogy, right, and he's like,
37:27
Speaker 1: I'm not a big baseball guy that you know. I'm
37:29
Speaker 1: watching these games and man, when is in the fourth quarter?
37:32
Speaker 1: And I'm like, and I had to interrupt. I'm like, uh, listen,
37:36
Speaker 1: I get your analogy, and I appreciate where you're going
37:38
Speaker 1: with this whole thing. And I know you're saying when
37:39
Speaker 1: the chips are down, but baseball has endings and football
37:44
Speaker 1: has quarters. And he's like, Okay, good call. I'm like, no,
37:46
Speaker 1: I don't want you to also say, you know, if
37:48
Speaker 1: you can step up to the plate and you hit
37:49
Speaker 1: something into the goal. I'm because then we're not going
37:51
Speaker 1: to talk anymore. But it's not gonna be able to speak.
37:53
Speaker 1: So let's get her analogies together. Let's come at this direct. H. Well,
38:08
Speaker 1: I'm excited. I'm excited to welcome our next guest to
38:11
Speaker 1: the show, someone who we both have a ton of
38:14
Speaker 1: affection for, um, someone who I feel always comes out
38:18
Speaker 1: smelling like a rose. Proverbially, when did you guys start
38:26
Speaker 1: this fun adventure? Oh gosh, how how long has it
38:29
Speaker 1: been the beginning of six weeks? Six? Seven weeks, eight weeks,
38:32
Speaker 1: so we don't even know. It's been a while. Guys.
38:34
Speaker 1: Thanks for thinking of me, of course. And your guys
38:38
Speaker 1: lives are good and you're happy and everything's good for you, guys,
38:42
Speaker 1: everything we want to talk about. You were talking about us, Okay,
38:49
Speaker 1: show us the ring? Yes, congratulations. Well, so it's so funny.
38:55
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, Mike and I don't want to
38:58
Speaker 1: get married. But I didn't see so I did not
39:02
Speaker 1: think it such a funny. It's such a funny thing
39:05
Speaker 1: because we and I don't know if it's like because
39:08
Speaker 1: we've both been married before and we yeah, and then
39:11
Speaker 1: been divorced, right, and then it was like, you know,
39:14
Speaker 1: if it's not broke, don't fix it. Like things are
39:17
Speaker 1: going so well, and um, you know, we don't want
39:20
Speaker 1: more kids together, so we're kind of like maybe we
39:22
Speaker 1: should just like not do the marriage things. So so
39:25
Speaker 1: far it's been fantastic where he's like my life partner,
39:28
Speaker 1: my forever person, and maybe one day, like it's been
39:31
Speaker 1: six years now, so maybe amazing. I don't know, maybe
39:35
Speaker 1: just like five years. I know, I know Bob has
39:38
Speaker 1: been married. You've been married for six years, right, you
39:40
Speaker 1: just said that I've been married six years this November.
39:43
Speaker 1: So yeah. But at the same time, Michelle, Wow, Okay,
39:47
Speaker 1: So what I want to know is how is Brie.
39:50
Speaker 1: I just I was telling Bob. I was just telling
39:52
Speaker 1: Bob how much I look up to you and your
39:55
Speaker 1: relationship with Brille as a mom. I just feel like
39:59
Speaker 1: you guys are so stinking close and you're just so
40:03
Speaker 1: real and I just love listening to your stories. And
40:07
Speaker 1: she suffered a pretty devastating accident, um, and so I
40:12
Speaker 1: wanted to see, first of all, how she's doing and
40:14
Speaker 1: how you guys are. You know what, she is such
40:18
Speaker 1: a fighter, she is doing awesome I mean she's so lucky.
40:23
Speaker 1: First of all, she's lucky to even be alive. But
40:25
Speaker 1: on top of that, um, you know, she this this
40:29
Speaker 1: brain injury could have was really close to being really devastating.
40:34
Speaker 1: So she's you know, brain injuries are so tricky because
40:37
Speaker 1: there's like it kind of impacts everyone differently. And the
40:41
Speaker 1: biggest struggle Brielle has had has been like memory recall
40:46
Speaker 1: and then um, like yeah, not being able to like
40:51
Speaker 1: put words together sometimes, like she kind of stutter and
40:55
Speaker 1: she in her head the words there, but it's not
40:57
Speaker 1: coming out. But you know, she has been really good
41:02
Speaker 1: about working through some of those cognitive issues with um.
41:07
Speaker 1: We have this fantastic place called Cognitive Effects out here
41:10
Speaker 1: in Utah and they have her do like brain games
41:12
Speaker 1: and like little things to just help get the wiring
41:16
Speaker 1: going again that have made a big difference, and she's
41:20
Speaker 1: been really diligent at doing it. So she's freaking amazing
41:24
Speaker 1: And you're so sweet to ask. She's so lucky. And yeah, money,
41:30
Speaker 1: So your name came up so much after you started
41:33
Speaker 1: posting that. You know, Canyon loves you and so we
41:37
Speaker 1: are sons girls so much. Oh yeah, she loves the money,
41:40
Speaker 1: So kiss I will, and she, you know, she would
41:44
Speaker 1: literally grab my son. My son was starting to learn
41:47
Speaker 1: how to ride a scooter and she grabbed him, and
41:49
Speaker 1: I'd be like, I'd be like, Oh, he's fine, he's fine.
41:51
Speaker 1: She's absolutely not, absolutely not. Remember what happened with Michelle
41:54
Speaker 1: and with her daughter. We've got to get the helmet
41:56
Speaker 1: on him, you know. And she was so diligent about it,
41:58
Speaker 1: and it really was of those things that now we
42:00
Speaker 1: both are. But in the beginning, I'm like, Oh, he's fine,
42:03
Speaker 1: you know. No, he's not. He's not. This could happen
42:05
Speaker 1: in a second, you know. And I've started done the
42:08
Speaker 1: same thing with my kids because we have a slanted
42:11
Speaker 1: hill in our neighborhood and my kids would be like, oh,
42:14
Speaker 1: I'm going to go on the skateboard, and literally I
42:17
Speaker 1: have said no. My friend Michelle, her daughter had a
42:21
Speaker 1: devastating accident. You are wearing your helmet at all times. Like,
42:25
Speaker 1: I think that you have done so much good in
42:27
Speaker 1: sharing your story, her story, and I know it was
42:31
Speaker 1: difficult to share, I'm sure, but thank you for for
42:34
Speaker 1: doing that because I think you have probably saved so
42:37
Speaker 1: many people. Tell you how many people have you know
42:41
Speaker 1: said the exact same things you guys have. And that
42:43
Speaker 1: is so incredible to know that, like something so devastating
42:47
Speaker 1: could be so impactful for so many people. So there
42:50
Speaker 1: is so much good that has come out of it.
42:52
Speaker 1: And that's the thing that's with helmets in particular, especially
42:55
Speaker 1: with teenagers. Yeah, they just don't want to wear the helmet.
42:58
Speaker 1: It's not no, it's not know And so we have
43:02
Speaker 1: to as parents, like really really um be strict about
43:06
Speaker 1: that stuff because you never think it's gonna happen to you.
43:09
Speaker 1: You never think your kid's going to be the kid
43:12
Speaker 1: that you know gets in an accident. So unless you
43:15
Speaker 1: do like me, like I I feel like even now,
43:20
Speaker 1: especially when they were little, I just thought everything was
43:23
Speaker 1: going to happen to them because I was a physical therapist.
43:26
Speaker 1: I saw all of these accidents and all these bad
43:28
Speaker 1: things happened, So I was always worried. But now it's
43:32
Speaker 1: become as you said, teenagers don't want to wear them
43:35
Speaker 1: because they're not cool. It's become harder to kind of
43:39
Speaker 1: get them to do it. Because when they were smaller,
43:42
Speaker 1: I could just say you're putting your helmet or put
43:44
Speaker 1: it on them, you know, no questions, as you should yes, yeah,
43:50
Speaker 1: so okay, So, um, let's talk about you were on
43:53
Speaker 1: Bachelor Pad, you were on Bachelor Paradise, you were on
43:56
Speaker 1: Bachelor Bachelor. Which was your favorite? Well, which one was
44:00
Speaker 1: your favorite? Was Bachelor Pad for short? Really? Why? Super fun?
44:07
Speaker 1: It was so much fun. It was just you know,
44:12
Speaker 1: way less stressful and a lot more um you know,
44:16
Speaker 1: kind of game oriented. So it made the experience a
44:19
Speaker 1: lot more like lighthearted a little bit. But yeah, and
44:22
Speaker 1: I got to meet Graham and these incredible friends who
44:25
Speaker 1: have changed my life, and um, yeah, Bachelor Pad is
44:30
Speaker 1: the best, the most fun. Yeah, I think they should
44:34
Speaker 1: bring it meaningful friends like I I made, really good,
44:37
Speaker 1: like real friendships. Yeah, yeah, I could see that. I
44:42
Speaker 1: had told Tristan that they called me about Bachelor Pad one,
44:46
Speaker 1: and I thought it was to host it. Graham, you know,
44:48
Speaker 1: our our mutual friend of course is Graham bun and
44:51
Speaker 1: as I met Michelle in the first place, but Graham
44:53
Speaker 1: and I, uh, you know, and I would always tell
44:54
Speaker 1: Graham the story. I'm like, yeah, I thought they wanted
44:56
Speaker 1: me to host it. So I'm like, well, let me
44:57
Speaker 1: call Harrison and make sure he's okay, And you know,
45:00
Speaker 1: Harrison's like they want to and I'm like, oh no, no, no, no, no, no,
45:06
Speaker 1: Like so I so, Michelle, before you came on, I
45:13
Speaker 1: was talking about how I thought we first met. Did
45:16
Speaker 1: we meet when I came on Bachelor Pad and did
45:19
Speaker 1: the judging in Vegas? Is that where we met? That
45:22
Speaker 1: was for sure the first time I met you? Yeah? Yeah, Love?
45:26
Speaker 1: How did she judge? Michelle? Do you remember her score
45:29
Speaker 1: for you on? I'm pretty sure she got a really
45:31
Speaker 1: high score. It was the climbing. Did you climb up
45:34
Speaker 1: the wall in Vegas or something? The Blue Man Group
45:37
Speaker 1: or this sked a wild thing. You're like strapped up
45:42
Speaker 1: in this thing and you're doing all these moves around
45:44
Speaker 1: this wall. And all I remember is that I got
45:48
Speaker 1: really bad motion. Take this like I have, and I
45:50
Speaker 1: get really really naxious. So I don't remember much of
45:54
Speaker 1: that day other than I just wanted to vomb like
45:59
Speaker 1: I think we did. We did pretty good on that.
46:01
Speaker 1: Graham and I did a pretty good job. We didn't
46:04
Speaker 1: a good team on this, I remember, Yeah, you guys
46:07
Speaker 1: were a good team. Do you want to stay in
46:08
Speaker 1: touch with him with Graham? Gosh, I haven't. I haven't
46:12
Speaker 1: talked to Graham, and maybe like seven or eight months.
46:16
Speaker 1: But we always kind of like check in with each
46:18
Speaker 1: other and we'll d m each other on Instagram and
46:21
Speaker 1: love it. Um. But it's been a while since I've
46:23
Speaker 1: talked to good old Graham. He is just the best,
46:26
Speaker 1: and he was just such a good um friend like time,
46:31
Speaker 1: and he's a great sounding board, like he's a good listener,
46:34
Speaker 1: you know, a great guy. I mean that I love
46:36
Speaker 1: the death. Yeah, he's the best. But yeah, we were
46:41
Speaker 1: talking about that earlier today and then so so you
46:43
Speaker 1: you rank that one. Then would it be Bachelor in Paradise,
46:47
Speaker 1: then Bachelor over to go Bachelor, the Bachelor Paradise, Yeah,
46:52
Speaker 1: it would be Bachelor in Paradise and then the Bachelor.
46:57
Speaker 1: I wonder why, Like, when you're just like one of
47:00
Speaker 1: multiple women with one man, it's just a different you
47:03
Speaker 1: guys know, it's just a different type of experience. But
47:07
Speaker 1: with Bachelor in Paradise, you know again, it was like
47:10
Speaker 1: really cool guys and girls all together and kind of
47:14
Speaker 1: just less less stressed, um and more fun. But you know,
47:19
Speaker 1: I was at a place in my life when I
47:21
Speaker 1: went on Bachelor in Paradise where I was like really
47:24
Speaker 1: trying to find like I really wanted to find my person,
47:28
Speaker 1: and you know, Braille was getting older, and I was
47:30
Speaker 1: really hesitant to do the show, but I was like,
47:33
Speaker 1: you know, you never know, and so I kind of
47:36
Speaker 1: went into it with maybe a little bit more like
47:40
Speaker 1: almost feeling like it was my last hope, which is
47:43
Speaker 1: still now that I look at it, but I kind
47:47
Speaker 1: of went into it with a little bit more wanting
47:49
Speaker 1: a little bit more out of it than I think
47:51
Speaker 1: a lot of the other people did. Yeah. Yeah, And
47:56
Speaker 1: then I met Cody, and Cody was Cody was wonderful
48:00
Speaker 1: and so good to me and so sweet, and I
48:03
Speaker 1: learned so much from him, and I'm you know, like
48:07
Speaker 1: if you talk about just a good soul, you know,
48:10
Speaker 1: Tony is just such a wonderful person. So I'm very
48:14
Speaker 1: grateful that I that I met him, and you know,
48:18
Speaker 1: I learned. I've learned so much through each process in
48:21
Speaker 1: in such a different way, like what I learned from
48:23
Speaker 1: The Bachelor versus what I learned. You know. It's just
48:26
Speaker 1: so funny, how you know, as a viewer, they all
48:28
Speaker 1: watch this edited version of what they think is going on,
48:33
Speaker 1: but it's easy to forget that like as as like
48:36
Speaker 1: real humans, like we're actually like going through these real
48:40
Speaker 1: experiences that are molding us and changing us and helping us,
48:43
Speaker 1: you know, like kind of like oh this and so
48:46
Speaker 1: as I look back, gosh, the growth from each one
48:52
Speaker 1: of those experiences are just like I would not take
48:55
Speaker 1: one second of it back because it has really kind
48:58
Speaker 1: of helped me evolved into kind of a little bit
49:01
Speaker 1: more well rounded, a little bit more you know, compassionate.
49:05
Speaker 1: And you know, when you when you're kind of put
49:08
Speaker 1: into these situations with all these different personalities and all
49:11
Speaker 1: these differ from all over the country and and you
49:15
Speaker 1: have to kind of get along with everyone, you know. Yeah,
49:19
Speaker 1: and yeah, so yeah it's been I mean, my I
49:22
Speaker 1: have so much love and gratitude for my experience on
49:28
Speaker 1: every one of those shows. Yeah, very great that we
49:31
Speaker 1: have gratitude for you. Yea, how the show really feels
49:39
Speaker 1: like it's changed a lot, you know, like you know,
49:41
Speaker 1: we talked about like the ogs, like I mean, I
49:44
Speaker 1: don't even watch the show anymore, but there was just
49:47
Speaker 1: such a significant shift that happened that social media, Yes exactly,
49:54
Speaker 1: that really kind of like changed that more like authentic
49:59
Speaker 1: I think a little bit more like genuinely like trying
50:02
Speaker 1: to find love and you know, which we've all kind
50:07
Speaker 1: of seen play out, you know, how that has shifted
50:09
Speaker 1: into something a lot different. And I look back and
50:12
Speaker 1: I'm like, gosh, I'm so grateful that I went on
50:15
Speaker 1: the show when I did, and you know, got those
50:19
Speaker 1: experiences that I think are way more authentic and I'm meaningful,
50:25
Speaker 1: I think, and and so I'm just very I'm grateful
50:30
Speaker 1: for the timing of it all. That's awesome, and that
50:33
Speaker 1: that really has been the consensus amongst the o g
50:35
Speaker 1: s that we've had on the show too. It's it's
50:37
Speaker 1: almost like now now everyone goes on with a little
50:39
Speaker 1: bit different motivation. Perhaps I can't speak for them, but
50:42
Speaker 1: you know I didn't. I wasn't during my season. I
50:45
Speaker 1: wasn't selling tooth whitening kids. So you know, it's a different,
50:49
Speaker 1: different experience. Let's just say that. Uh. But but I
50:52
Speaker 1: will say this, I'm also really happy social media wasn't
50:55
Speaker 1: around back then, because I would have gotten destroyed even
50:57
Speaker 1: worse than I did, say Sam, Tim, Yeah, for sure
51:01
Speaker 1: wouldn't have had the capacity to like pull myself out
51:03
Speaker 1: of bad and like like it was right that that
51:06
Speaker 1: is so interesting now is just how like was how
51:12
Speaker 1: social media has really just kind of like exploited everyone
51:16
Speaker 1: in the worst ways, and you're just kind of like,
51:20
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I could not have handled that. No, yeah, yeah, right,
51:26
Speaker 1: especially because most people who go on the show are
51:28
Speaker 1: in their twenties or early thirties, and you still I
51:32
Speaker 1: feel like, are learning so much about yourself. And I
51:36
Speaker 1: have to tell you. So I just read I someone
51:38
Speaker 1: sent me this article one of my buddies and it
51:41
Speaker 1: was really making fun of me, and I loved it.
51:43
Speaker 1: But I was like, oh God, I gotta talk about this.
51:45
Speaker 1: It basically said he was making fun of me. The
51:48
Speaker 1: article really didn't know that, got it. I'm like, I
51:50
Speaker 1: need to see this article. You know. The article was like,
51:53
Speaker 1: you know, why why people have a problem with the
51:56
Speaker 1: Bachelor franchise and body image and it said except for
52:00
Speaker 1: season four is Bachelor Bob who was slightly overweight. I'm
