- 5:08Speaker 1: G podcast. Thank you. Your ears must have been burning
- 5:12Speaker 1: because we were talking about you before before we brought
- 5:14Speaker 1: you in the room. And uh, well, I only have
- 5:18Speaker 1: to watch bits and pieces of the episode. And I
- 5:21Speaker 1: was catching up on some news because I've been traveling
- 5:23Speaker 1: a little bit, and in the same news story that
- 5:26Speaker 1: we've lost, you know, famed rapper Coolio, they bring up
- 5:32Speaker 1: the lace drama on Bachelor in Paradise and so we
- 5:37Speaker 1: let's let's just get into it. Let's shall we shall
- 5:39Speaker 1: we just dig a little thing, let's get into it. Well,
- 5:41Speaker 1: I guess starting out, I would love to know. So
- 5:44Speaker 1: you were on Bachelor Paradise season three, you walked away engaged,
- 5:49Speaker 1: so you were one of the engaged couples, and so
- 5:52Speaker 1: when they asked you to be on this current season,
- 5:55Speaker 1: was it an easy yes? Was it? Was it a
- 5:57Speaker 1: possible know? How? How were you feeling? Yeah? I don't
- 6:01Speaker 1: know what all to say or not, but I actually
- 6:04Speaker 1: was going to go on and then COVID hit, so
- 6:09Speaker 1: um that kind of was in the works. But then
- 6:11Speaker 1: it hit and then we kind of just kept in
- 6:14Speaker 1: touch and I talked to Lindsay, and I guess it
- 6:18Speaker 1: was kind of an easy yes. But I was scared
- 6:20Speaker 1: because I was like, I don't know what I'm getting
- 6:21Speaker 1: myself into. Yeah, and I wouldn't know anyone and no
- 6:24Speaker 1: one would know me. But I was like, whatever, whatever,
- 6:30Speaker 1: I think, Well, here's the thing. So many moons ago,
- 6:34Speaker 1: when it was when it wasn't Bachelor in Paradise? What
- 6:37Speaker 1: was it for Bachelor Pad and our mutual friend Gwen
- 6:41Speaker 1: went on several seasons after, but not I think hers
- 6:44Speaker 1: was even more. I think it's even more removed than Lace.
- 6:48Speaker 1: I think his lace, you know, Lace is a few
- 6:49Speaker 1: years we moved from Bachelor in Paradise stuff. Actually, I'm
- 6:52Speaker 1: going to stop you. Wasn't Gwen on Bachelor in Paradise? What? No?
- 6:57Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think so. I think it
- 6:58Speaker 1: was Bachelor Pad. Okay, okay, I'm not sure to be
- 7:02Speaker 1: the bachelorette though from her season. Yeah, yeah, that's true too,
- 7:07Speaker 1: that's true too. Well. I just think, you know, I
- 7:10Speaker 1: think there's some interesting energy because you come in, you
- 7:13Speaker 1: got you know, all these all these you know, kind
- 7:15Speaker 1: of rookies who maybe their eyeballing you, they're giving these
- 7:21Speaker 1: and think I would either walk in and be like, Okay,
- 7:25Speaker 1: I'm gonna machiavellia this whole thing, or which I think
- 7:28Speaker 1: is where where Lace decided to go with this. I'm
- 7:30Speaker 1: not speaking for you. I'm just saying, or I'd walk
- 7:33Speaker 1: in and I would just be like, oh, I just
- 7:34Speaker 1: want to be everybody's buddy, and then I'd end up
- 7:36Speaker 1: being like they'd be like, oh, yeah, what's up grandpa
- 7:39Speaker 1: to me because I'm a hundred, but you're still young
- 7:42Speaker 1: and you know, I mean so I can imagine for
- 7:44Speaker 1: you it was more kind of like, you know, being
- 7:46Speaker 1: just more annoyed. I would think me annoyed. Yes, um never,
- 7:53Speaker 1: I'm just thinking maybe I would be annoying one. But no,
- 7:57Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, they're just so new to and you
- 8:00Speaker 1: know so much other stuff than them because you've been
- 8:02Speaker 1: there before. So you're just like, all right, they'll follow me,
- 8:05Speaker 1: we'll show in the ropes. And then they didn't, and
- 8:09Speaker 1: they didn't. I had a blasphem myself. I mean, I
- 8:13Speaker 1: love that. And I have to say I think the
- 8:16Speaker 1: whole birthday thing was freaking genius. Like no one had
- 8:21Speaker 1: a clue prompt you though, Like I don't even remember
- 8:24Speaker 1: how that came about, but it did, and I was like,
- 8:26Speaker 1: screw it. Even even if it was impromptu, it still
- 8:30Speaker 1: was genius because you were feeling like left out and
- 8:35Speaker 1: you know, like you weren't the rookie and and all
- 8:38Speaker 1: these people weren't paying any attention to you. And I
- 8:41Speaker 1: am really sensitive as as like in terms of my feelings,
- 8:45Speaker 1: and I would feel the exact same way going into it.
- 8:48Speaker 1: And then you throw in a birthday and you're like
- 8:51Speaker 1: everyone's celebrating and now I'm the center of attention. And
- 8:55Speaker 1: I thought it was perfect. I mean, I'm proud of it.
- 9:01Speaker 1: I definitely just wanted to step away for a minute
- 9:04Speaker 1: and just breathe and take a little catnap, but I
- 9:06Speaker 1: guess you will, but just lay there, and I was
- 9:08Speaker 1: just frustrated them, like, why the heck did I come back?
- 9:10Speaker 1: This is so silly, I'm mad over people. I don't
- 9:13Speaker 1: even know whatever the case is. Um, So it definitely
- 9:17Speaker 1: looked a little self loathing and all of that, but
- 9:20Speaker 1: it's okay. I just didn't want to react like um
- 9:24Speaker 1: in front of everyone, so I just step away for
- 9:26Speaker 1: a little bit. Coming back and talking to me was
- 9:29Speaker 1: the best thing that could have happened. So well, I
- 9:32Speaker 1: think the birthday, I mean, it led to the birthday
- 9:36Speaker 1: of what I mean, So I liked it. I I
- 9:40Speaker 1: gotta be honest, I don't think I would have I
- 9:42Speaker 1: don't think that would have ever crossed my mind to
- 9:44Speaker 1: do something like that. And I just love that it
- 9:47Speaker 1: did because for you, because I think that it's one
- 9:49Speaker 1: of those moments where it's like, you know, now, if
- 9:51Speaker 1: someone's gonna, like if one of the girls wanted to
- 9:53Speaker 1: be mean to you, which I know like a couple
- 9:54Speaker 1: of them were thinking about it, It's like, now, really,
- 9:56Speaker 1: you're gonna mean to someone on their birthday, Like honestly
- 9:58Speaker 1: you can kind a monster would do something like that.
- 10:01Speaker 1: And so you literally are in this great position and oh, yeah,
- 10:05Speaker 1: it's not my birthday. So I think I'm more proud
- 10:10Speaker 1: because no one knew it was my birthday until the show.
- 10:13Speaker 1: So I think I'm more proud that I kept a secretly,
- 10:17Speaker 1: Oh I love it. Okay, So um, when you were
- 10:21Speaker 1: in the room, like giving yourself a cat hat, taking
- 10:23Speaker 1: a cat nap, whatever was Let's see, how do I
- 10:27Speaker 1: say this? When you were on season three with Grant,
- 10:33Speaker 1: was part of the cat nap situation that you were
- 10:36Speaker 1: feeling these feelings from when you were there the first time,
- 10:42Speaker 1: the flashback type of thing. I think it was more
- 10:45Speaker 1: so like I didn't know anyone. It was hard to
- 10:47Speaker 1: connect with people because they're all trying to do their thing,
- 10:50Speaker 1: and I wasn't connecting with any guys either. Don't get
- 10:52Speaker 1: me wrong, everyone was really nice overall, Um, I just
- 10:57Speaker 1: was Yeah, I felt triggered, and so I was having
- 11:00Speaker 1: my own personal reactions that last time was better. This
- 11:04Speaker 1: time stucks. It was just so easy last time I
- 11:06Speaker 1: came back. This time it's hard, and I'm frustrated. So yeah,
- 11:10Speaker 1: maybe a little bit but not getting but yeah, just
- 11:14Speaker 1: being in the same place because it's the exact same
- 11:16Speaker 1: place exactly right, I can see that. Yeah, I can't
- 11:20Speaker 1: imagine how it wouldn't. Yeah, I totally I was questioning,
- 11:23Speaker 1: like should I have come back? Like am I too
- 11:25Speaker 1: old for this? By being dumb? I just had all
- 11:27Speaker 1: these thoughts. But it's okay, I think I think, I
- 11:32Speaker 1: think that's totally natural. Yeah, I would. I would feel
- 11:34Speaker 1: the same. I would. So I am the guy that
- 11:36Speaker 1: like literally second guesses everything I do. Seven anyway, So
- 11:40Speaker 1: I would have been on the plane They're going, this
- 11:42Speaker 1: is a horrible mistake. What am I thinking? Why am
- 11:43Speaker 1: I doing this? Landed, I'd be like, oh, hey, what's
- 11:46Speaker 1: the guys, and then I would think I'm having a
- 11:47Speaker 1: great time. Then like fifteen minutes later that would have
- 11:49Speaker 1: disasked her I should have never done this. So I
- 11:52Speaker 1: can totally get that I think. What I think is
- 11:54Speaker 1: interesting though, is so, how how did the producers when
- 11:57Speaker 1: they I know you kind of touched on this when
- 11:59Speaker 1: we first started talking, but how did they approach you
- 12:01Speaker 1: to be on this season? And what? What did they say?
- 12:05Speaker 1: That was just like the thing that was like, yeah,
- 12:06Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it. I couldn't tell you. It was
- 12:10Speaker 1: just me and Lindsay talking for over two years and um,
- 12:14Speaker 1: I just Linda Lindsay just for perspective, Lindsay the producer. Okay, Um,
- 12:21Speaker 1: I was talking to Lindsay Lyles the producer, and um
- 12:25Speaker 1: we had been in contact for two years, and I
- 12:27Speaker 1: remember just following up with her like, oh, I know
- 12:29Speaker 1: Bachelor Paradise is starting soon. And it was very short,
- 12:35Speaker 1: I think, just kind of short conversations. And then I
- 12:37Speaker 1: get a call from her when I'm at the Rockies
- 12:39Speaker 1: opening day and she's like, hey, are you sure you
- 12:41Speaker 1: don't have a boyfriend. I'm like yeah, I swear. Why.
- 12:43Speaker 1: She goes, do you want to go back on Paradise?
- 12:45Speaker 1: And I was like yeah, I can't leave you. So
- 12:56Speaker 1: also okay, So I would love to know when you
- 13:00Speaker 1: filmed it, how were you feeling about it compared to
- 13:03Speaker 1: when you watched it the other night. Did you watch it? Yeah?
- 13:07Speaker 1: I know I watched it. Um, I had my hood
- 13:10Speaker 1: over my head. I was just kind of like peeking out.
- 13:12Speaker 1: I'm like, oh god, um, were you nervous? Were you excited?
- 13:18Speaker 1: Were you sitting there with friends like watching this sub Yeah? Yeah.
- 13:24Speaker 1: So I was actually really nervous because that trailer that
- 13:26Speaker 1: they put out of me, I thought it was going
- 13:29Speaker 1: to be so much worse. And I was like, they're
- 13:31Speaker 1: not doing this. Oh great? Did I really say that?
- 13:33Speaker 1: And I forget you know this? You blank out out
- 13:36Speaker 1: of so many things that you say, and you're like,
- 13:39Speaker 1: oh I did say that, didn't I? Okay? And so
- 13:41Speaker 1: I was just cringing, and I'm like, I don't know
- 13:43Speaker 1: if I can watch this. But then when we watched it,
- 13:45Speaker 1: I was just laughing my ass off. Okay. Good sense
- 13:49Speaker 1: of humor is important in these shows. What was the
- 13:52Speaker 1: thing it funny? What was the thing that you were
- 13:55Speaker 1: cringing about? Hearing you say me saying, I'm this is
- 13:59Speaker 1: the pretty they've ever been, Like, you've got to be
- 14:02Speaker 1: kidding me, Like how old are we? And then I
- 14:05Speaker 1: think they're seeing me later in the bad just kind
- 14:07Speaker 1: of pouting and talking, and I kind of just kept
- 14:10Speaker 1: reiterating des like, oh, no one was talking to me.
- 14:13Speaker 1: I wish I wouldn't have said something that, But that's okay,
- 14:17Speaker 1: learning lessons, right, Yeah, I think you know, it's I mean,
- 14:22Speaker 1: I feel like Bachelor Paradise is so devious, Like I
- 14:25Speaker 1: would never last a minute on that show, because all
- 14:28Speaker 1: I mean I look at it, it's like it's like
- 14:31Speaker 1: the kind of like the Bachelor of the Bachelorette meets
- 14:34Speaker 1: Big Brother meets Survivor. You know, it's just it's a
- 14:39Speaker 1: it's like a it's like a cage match in my
- 14:41Speaker 1: head when I think about be on that hill, because
- 14:43Speaker 1: I'd be like, oh, you know, this girl is really
- 14:45Speaker 1: cute as you talk to her, and then meanwhile, she's
- 14:47Speaker 1: gonna be like, all right, I'm not gonna give him
- 14:48Speaker 1: my ros. I'm gonna give it to this dude because
- 14:50Speaker 1: this guy, I'll keep me around longer so I can
- 14:51Speaker 1: mess with that chick. It's just a whole the whole
- 14:54Speaker 1: mind just blows me away. I could never think. Also
- 14:57Speaker 1: feel like you get to be yourself a little more
- 15:00Speaker 1: around purpose too. Yes, right, you're not so like hi
- 15:05Speaker 1: strong and tense on the Bachelor Bachelor. Are there any
- 15:10Speaker 1: moments in this episode that that happened to other people
- 15:15Speaker 1: or were involving other people, not necessarily you, that you
- 15:18Speaker 1: were cringing on, like saying, oh God, And you know
- 15:22Speaker 1: obviously what happens. So it's all the taped, so you
- 15:25Speaker 1: know what happens. You know what's going to come to fruition.
- 15:29Speaker 1: So is there anything that you watched that you were
- 15:31Speaker 1: cringing thinking why are they acting like that? Or what
- 15:35Speaker 1: are they doing or what are they thinking? I definitely
- 15:38Speaker 1: think um the Cia, Jill, and Um Romeo. Thank you Romeo.
- 15:44Speaker 1: I struggled to say everyone's name all season. It was bad. Um.
- 15:48Speaker 1: I think that little Love Triangle was a disaster, and
- 15:51Speaker 1: it was actually very intriguing, fascinating and annoying watching Romeo
- 15:57Speaker 1: the way he was with these women. I am as
- 16:00Speaker 1: felt like I just wanted to get inside of his head,
- 16:02Speaker 1: like what are you thinking right now? Because he was
- 16:04Speaker 1: just trying to play all these women and it just
- 16:06Speaker 1: came to bite him and they asked so bad and
- 16:08Speaker 1: then I felt like, I don't know, Yeah, I was
- 16:12Speaker 1: wondering because I kind of got that that impression too
- 16:16Speaker 1: when he literally told Jill, um, you know, I want
- 16:20Speaker 1: to work on us. I don't want to deal with Kira.
- 16:23Speaker 1: And then Kira comes and sits down, and I'm like,
- 16:25Speaker 1: why are you telling Jill to go hang out with
- 16:28Speaker 1: everybody else and you're gonna sit here with Kira. Like
- 16:31Speaker 1: I get that, You're like, let me live in peace
- 16:34Speaker 1: and let me pursue this with Jill. But at the
- 16:36Speaker 1: same time, I'm like, why didn't you just be like, Okay,
- 16:38Speaker 1: we're gonna go hang out, see you later, Kira or whatever.
- 16:42Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, And it was weird to watch too.
- 16:44Speaker 1: And Jill, you know, she was pretty sensitive to the
- 16:46Speaker 1: whole thing, which I don't blame her, kind of rude,
- 16:49Speaker 1: and Kira came in very aggressive and yeah, I don't
- 16:53Speaker 1: know the word I'm looking for, but just very aggressive.
- 16:55Speaker 1: I think aggressive. Romeo was trying to unwind the web,
- 16:59Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like, I feel like if
- 17:00Speaker 1: you if you sit down with someone and you have
- 17:02Speaker 1: this heart to heart when they when you know you've
- 17:04Speaker 1: already said that you're in the other one, it's because
- 17:07Speaker 1: you're trying to do damage control. You don't want something
- 17:09Speaker 1: to pull up on you totally. And I also think
- 17:12Speaker 1: he was trying to be the Bachelor on birthday. I
- 17:17Speaker 1: thought that's what I came off at least. Yeah, yeah, okay,
- 17:21Speaker 1: So I also want to know Chris Harrison is clearly
- 17:24Speaker 1: not on the show anymore. How did it feel having
- 17:28Speaker 1: Jesse there as opposed to Chris. I think I think
- 17:31Speaker 1: Jesse is a really good substitution. Honestly, I think it's great,
- 17:35Speaker 1: very personable. I've obviously miss Press Harrison because that was
- 17:38Speaker 1: the show, you know, But um, I think Jesse's a

- 18:59Speaker 1: and I mean, you got I mean, it's got to
- 19:01Speaker 1: be something in the water. I have to believe it's
- 19:03Speaker 1: all that crisp mountain air. Yeah, we're drinking some good
- 19:07Speaker 1: water here. Yeah. Absolutely, Freshmen, you meant to say that, Yes, absolutely, Well,
- 19:15Speaker 1: I mean, so so you get on the show, no,
- 19:17Speaker 1: uh were you had you ever crossed paths with any
- 19:20Speaker 1: of the people that were casting on this season in
- 19:21Speaker 1: the Bachelor Paradise previously. I mean, I know, we all
- 19:24Speaker 1: seem to occasionally run into one another, like I met
- 19:28Speaker 1: I met Genevieve, uh just recently and it was really
- 19:33Speaker 1: funny and Trista, you'll appreciate this story. So, uh, myself,
- 19:38Speaker 1: Ben Higgins and Jason Tardik drove from l A to
- 19:43Speaker 1: Vegas and we had to do this big interview on
- 19:45Speaker 1: the couch there and and Genevieve was actually sitting right
- 19:47Speaker 1: next to me, and I'm like, Hi, I'm Bob getting
- 19:49Speaker 1: nice to meet you. She's like, nice to meet you too.
- 19:51Speaker 1: And so we're doing the show and Ben's like, am I,
- 19:56Speaker 1: I mean the legend my favorite Bachelor of all time
- 20:00Speaker 1: Guinea is here and I mean Bob, you know. And
- 20:02Speaker 1: Genevieve looks at me and she goes who And I'm like,
- 20:07Speaker 1: and I could know myself, Like I it just tickled
- 20:09Speaker 1: me to session degree. I stayed laughing. I looked at
- 20:11Speaker 1: I go the guy you met like four minutes ago.
- 20:13Speaker 1: I said, Hi, I'm Bob Guinny. That's that's who he's
- 20:16Speaker 1: talking about. She's like, oh, Hi, nice to meet you.
- 20:19Speaker 1: Men your best friend. It was so funny. She goes,
- 20:23Speaker 1: who's he? Who's Bob getting I'm like, oh, that'd be,
- 20:26Speaker 1: you know, so crazy to me about these people that
- 20:30Speaker 1: don't know us from the past, because I watched all
- 20:33Speaker 1: of your guys this season's before I went on, so
- 20:35Speaker 1: I don't know. I you gotta do your homework, you know. No,
- 20:41Speaker 1: I think it's I thought it was really funny and
- 20:43Speaker 1: I and but it was kind of interesting because uh,
- 20:46Speaker 1: she was there in Victoria Fuller was there also, and
- 20:49Speaker 1: I think they're both on this season as well, right,
- 20:51Speaker 1: so yeah, so I don't know either one of them
- 20:53Speaker 1: at all, but you know, I had a couple of
- 20:55Speaker 1: minutes to talk to each of them and thought they
- 20:56Speaker 1: were really fun. And um, you know, did you find
- 20:59Speaker 1: that you had some allies on the show? Did you
- 21:01Speaker 1: make some allies on the show that we're kind of
- 21:03Speaker 1: like who you could lean on after that first night
- 21:06Speaker 1: of you know, your birthday party? Yeah, definitely. Um. Actually,
- 21:09Speaker 1: Brittany Galvin is the one that kind of because when
- 21:12Speaker 1: I first arrived, she was the warmest. She said that
- 21:16Speaker 1: her and her mom were big fans of me from
- 21:17Speaker 1: the past um episode, so she remember she was like
- 21:20Speaker 1: the only one that knew who I was. And which
- 21:22Speaker 1: one is Britney the blonde brunette? No, she wasn't she
- 21:26Speaker 1: We kind of look a little similar, I would say. Yeah.
- 21:33Speaker 1: I'd say she was my biggest ally. I think, um,
- 21:35Speaker 1: that's awesome that you that you end up because she
- 21:37Speaker 1: seems really nice, you know, but you never know, and
- 21:40Speaker 1: when you're in paradise, man, things can go sideways awfully quick.
- 21:44Speaker 1: I would say I did. There was more people, like
- 21:47Speaker 1: more of the girls didn't get along. The last time
- 21:49Speaker 1: I was on Paradise, Um, there was kind of clicks.
- 21:52Speaker 1: But this time I feel like all the girls were
- 21:54Speaker 1: just friends, which is really that's good. There was no drama.
- 21:56Speaker 1: Wish we'll get there. I mean, I was fine with her,
- 22:03Speaker 1: but from what I heard, I think in the Cira thing,
- 22:07Speaker 1: I think Heira was maybe a little like intense. Some
- 22:10Speaker 1: people steered away from her, but other than that, I'd
- 22:12Speaker 1: say we all got along. I'm wondering how she's feeling
- 22:15Speaker 1: after the airing of the first show, because after the
- 22:17Speaker 1: porn star comment she was and as a physician, I
- 22:21Speaker 1: was like, wow, I wonder if she was like joking
- 22:26Speaker 1: with the producers in those moments, and but you know
- 22:29Speaker 1: they're going to use it if you say, I don't
- 22:31Speaker 1: know what we're talking. Kira is a physician. I don't
- 22:40Speaker 1: know the comment you're speaking of now, So in her
- 22:42Speaker 1: like like this is me, I'm Kira, I'm going to
- 22:45Speaker 1: be on the show kind of thing. In the beginning,
- 22:47Speaker 1: she's talking about what she's looking for on the show,
- 22:51Speaker 1: how she's going to act da da da da, and
- 22:54Speaker 1: she said something like, um, I think in a previous life,
- 22:57Speaker 1: I was a porn star or in another life, I
- 23:00Speaker 1: think I would be a porn star. And because she
- 23:03Speaker 1: was talking about how many times, like her goal on
- 23:05Speaker 1: this season, from what I remember, is how many times
- 23:10Speaker 1: she wanted to get in the boom broom room a lot,
- 23:12Speaker 1: meaning you know, you know what the boom room means,
- 23:16Speaker 1: like she wanted to you know, yes, you've heard of it,
- 23:21Speaker 1: so um, she just she put it out there, and
- 23:25Speaker 1: I'm wondering if she's how she's feeling after Oh my god,
- 23:29Speaker 1: I didn't get close enough to her. I mean, I'd
- 23:31Speaker 1: love to write her and get inside of her head
- 23:32Speaker 1: and talked to her, but I have no idea what
- 23:35Speaker 1: she's actually really like. I don't know if that's just
- 23:36Speaker 1: her and she's comfortable with that or yeah and that's fine, Yeah,
- 23:41Speaker 1: that's totally fine if she is, and if she isn't.
- 23:44Speaker 1: I just I I My heart goes out to anyone
- 23:47Speaker 1: who kind of says something and then they're like, oh crap,
- 23:50Speaker 1: you know, like how you were talking about, even though
- 23:54Speaker 1: everyone who's on Bachelor Paradise should realize because they've already
- 23:58Speaker 1: been on the show. So I went in there with
- 24:00Speaker 1: the mentality like don't say too much don't say stupid stuff,
- 24:04Speaker 1: and I still did. It's just found that happen. Well,
- 24:07Speaker 1: you're probably get in the moment, you're just having fun. Yeah,
- 24:12Speaker 1: I would be like so like if I were the
- 24:14Speaker 1: girl they said the poor and start thing, I would
- 24:16Speaker 1: be so stressed out about what my my dad would think,
- 24:19Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like I would be or
- 24:22Speaker 1: my patients, my patients, and it's like it's already hard
- 24:27Speaker 1: enough being like in a bikini and your boob's popping
- 24:29Speaker 1: out with your dad watching, like saying that comment on
- 24:31Speaker 1: top of that, Yeah, a little uncomfortable, but you know
- 24:38Speaker 1: what I mean, everyone's it always goes away. You know,
- 24:42Speaker 1: it takes time, but all the drama goes away. I
- 24:45Speaker 1: mean you were technically, well not technically, you were considered
- 24:49Speaker 1: the villain on Ben season, and how like did you
- 24:53Speaker 1: come out of that really sad? Like, how were you
- 24:58Speaker 1: feeling after getting that kind of edit? If you will? Um?
- 25:04Speaker 1: I almost think it was more brutal than too, because
- 25:07Speaker 1: there was pages made of me. People I had to
- 25:10Speaker 1: block so many pages and people just Instagram on Instagram.
- 25:14Speaker 1: It was I can't even know how to how to
- 25:17Speaker 1: describe it. They put these evil eyes on me. And
- 25:19Speaker 1: then blood spattered or some weird like that. And so
- 25:23Speaker 1: I remember, just like, I stayed home for a week
- 25:26Speaker 1: after The Bachelor aired because it was just so bad,
- 25:28Speaker 1: and I was like, wow, I'm getting a lot of hate.
- 25:30Speaker 1: But by the time I left, people kind of turned
- 25:32Speaker 1: and they're like, oh my god, you're actually really great,
- 25:34Speaker 1: sorry about that, blah blah blah. But it was absolutely
- 25:38Speaker 1: horrible when I came off, because of course me, Me
- 25:42Speaker 1: and Olivia I think were the worst. But um, I
- 25:45Speaker 1: get I got over it pretty quick. Good but good
- 25:48Speaker 1: because I mean, people turned around, but I was just like,
- 25:50Speaker 1: forget them. That's someone behind a stupid screen. Yeah, oh
- 25:55Speaker 1: my god. I wouldn't even be able to handle that.
- 25:59Speaker 1: Oh my goshd either. It would take me way longer
- 26:02Speaker 1: than a week. But it took a little bit. But
- 26:09Speaker 1: I mean, I got over it sooner than I expected,
- 26:12Speaker 1: you know, especially with them begging me to come on
- 26:14Speaker 1: Paradise and all that. So, yeah, that's true, you went
- 26:17Speaker 1: on Paradise. How long the next year? Right? The next Yeah,
- 26:21Speaker 1: I got it, So I guess it wasn't that long.
- 26:24Speaker 1: And I feel like Paradise gives everyone kind of a
- 26:26Speaker 1: second chance at love. But also a second chance at
- 26:30Speaker 1: like your what do you call it reputation or like
- 26:34Speaker 1: your character? Yeah, totally. I've been wondering about, say, if
- 26:38Speaker 1: this will be her reset, you know, um, or if
- 26:42Speaker 1: she's just going to come out of it and even
- 26:43Speaker 1: more people are going to be mad at her. Yeah.
- 26:47Speaker 1: I didn't even know about any of the drama there,
- 26:48Speaker 1: so everyone had to fill me and I'm like, what happened?
- 26:50Speaker 1: I didn't watch your season and so, but I thought
- 26:53Speaker 1: it was nice, so good. Maybe it is her reset. Yeah,
- 26:57Speaker 1: we'll see, we'll see. I who know, I think these
- 27:00Speaker 1: shows are great. I mean I watch every single one
- 27:02Speaker 1: of them. Bob knows that I am a huge fan,
- 27:05Speaker 1: always have been, always will be. And um, yeah, it's
- 27:09Speaker 1: just fun for me. You all are like little family,
- 27:12Speaker 1: you like my little babies. I love that fairy godmother. Yes,
- 27:19Speaker 1: in Veil or near Veil. Um. I always say Bail
- 27:21Speaker 1: for people who don't know Vail, but in the Veil Valley.
- 27:25Speaker 1: Technically I am headed up to Georgetown after this to go,
- 27:29Speaker 1: oh it's beautiful right now, Foliage, Foliage. How far apart
- 27:35Speaker 1: are you too? Like where do you live? In relation
- 27:37Speaker 1: to where Trista lives? Like two hours where she lives.
- 27:40Speaker 1: I can look at the mountains at my door. Um yeah,
- 27:43Speaker 1: it's like two hours. Yeah, oh that's not bad. And
- 27:47Speaker 1: we go to Denver all the time for hockey. We'll
- 27:50Speaker 1: be there. Well, actually I'm flying out next weekend, but um,
- 27:53Speaker 1: I am going to Denver to visit my institution right
- 28:00Speaker 1: time for a plug so fresh all right, yeah that's perfect. Well,
- 28:08Speaker 1: I excided that you wanted to come on with us
- 28:09Speaker 1: and talk about it because I think it's I mean,
- 28:11Speaker 1: it's obviously big news right now. You know the fact
- 28:14Speaker 1: that you came up with a really clever way to
- 28:16Speaker 1: to sort of get some attention, and you know, coming
- 28:22Speaker 1: to make saying hey, loose, happy birthday. Oh my god,
- 28:25Speaker 1: what is the loose thing? I don't get it, Like,
- 28:29Speaker 1: why did he think it was? I did watch the
- 28:31Speaker 1: lace like, because I mean lace loose. I get it.
- 28:34Speaker 1: But yeah, I saw someone's comment actually in her name's Lacey.
- 28:38Speaker 1: I just it was a random comment and she goes,
- 28:40Speaker 1: you would be surprised how many people actually get her
- 28:42Speaker 1: names that way, like loose Lucy instead of Lacy or something.
- 28:46Speaker 1: So I get that. But I remember, well I was
- 28:48Speaker 1: was like, yeah, go go spend your birthday with logan,
- 28:50Speaker 1: I'll bring your drinks over and so um I had
- 28:53Speaker 1: said something to Wells and he's like, yeah, something lace
- 28:56Speaker 1: and then that's all on Rapple. Yeah, he thought my
- 29:01Speaker 1: name was loose the whole time. I mean, I don't know.
- 29:05Speaker 1: Oh god, I hate it when people call me a
- 29:07Speaker 1: different name. I mean, I get it. I get it
- 29:09Speaker 1: that people are like Tricia. I'm like, literally, I sent
- 29:12Speaker 1: an email last week and it said Trista and the
- 29:16Speaker 1: guy writes me that Tricia and I'm like, dude, i
- 29:19Speaker 1: am not Trista. Differ and writing like. I have a
- 29:24Speaker 1: friend who has like two first names, and inevitably they
- 29:27Speaker 1: always will get a response to their emails, and you know,
- 29:29Speaker 1: it'll be like, you know, it'll use the last name
- 29:32Speaker 1: as the first name, like thanks Kelly, and I'm like, no,
- 29:34Speaker 1: that's not That's not who you're talking to all the time.
- 29:38Speaker 1: You know, there's my name is impossible to get right
- 29:40Speaker 1: because you can't pronounce my last name to say, yo,
- 29:43Speaker 1: Bob gwinmy Bob googy, Bob Quincy. I get it. That
- 29:49Speaker 1: little you in there, yeah exactly. I'm like, no one
- 29:51Speaker 1: can read apparently no one can read. No, that's a
- 29:54Speaker 1: funny because I feel like I can't get away from
- 29:57Speaker 1: Loose because while I was waiting for the show to air,
- 30:00Speaker 1: my parents live in Missouri and there was someone running
- 30:04Speaker 1: really they live in Joplin. How funny, exciting, absolutely cute. Yeah,
- 30:11Speaker 1: and there's someone running for their little city with the
- 30:14Speaker 1: name Loose. And then I went golfing, um, just a
- 30:17Speaker 1: couple of months ago, and it was this couple we're
- 30:20Speaker 1: golfing with and at the final hole, she tried to
- 30:22Speaker 1: say it because we got to know each other and
- 30:24Speaker 1: she she goes, loose, um something something, and her partner goes,
- 30:28Speaker 1: that's not lace, that's not loose, it's laced. I pretended
- 30:33Speaker 1: not to hear, but I was like, how did they
- 30:34Speaker 1: just get called loose again? Never in my life I
- 30:38Speaker 1: ever been called that. And all of a sudden, since
- 30:40Speaker 1: the show, it's like NonStop. I feel like people are
- 30:43Speaker 1: trying to, like, you know, when you um give someone
- 30:47Speaker 1: a nickname because you're close to them, people are trying
- 30:50Speaker 1: to give you a nickname thinking that they're, you know,
- 30:52Speaker 1: on really good terms with you, and in fact they're actually,
- 30:55Speaker 1: you know, doing the opposite, and you don't know me,
- 30:59Speaker 1: yeah exactly. Anyway, I just said, I actually just had
- 31:02Speaker 1: that experience. I was trying to get the waiter and
- 31:04Speaker 1: nickname at the pool and he wasn't having it. He
- 31:07Speaker 1: just was not his name. His name was Kevin, and
- 31:10Speaker 1: I'm like, Kay Train, Hey, no you did, kay Diesel, Hey,
- 31:15Speaker 1: you know? I mean I tried everything. I went with
- 31:17Speaker 1: like ten ten options, and literally on every single one
- 31:20Speaker 1: of them, he would walk by and just ignore me.
- 31:22Speaker 1: I can't. I know that. I'm like, dude, what's going on?
- 31:29Speaker 1: You move to dad? Move? So maybe next time, don't
- 31:35Speaker 1: go with the nicknames and just send him some money.
- 31:37Speaker 1: Give him some money. Here's some bills, Kevin's money, and
- 31:43Speaker 1: then I'll be like, you like that money, Kate Train, Yeah,
- 31:53Speaker 1: next time? All right, Well, Lace, thank you so much
- 31:56Speaker 1: for coming on chatting with us, us old old gals
- 32:00Speaker 1: and guys on this one. Heck yeah, I'm excited to
- 32:05Speaker 1: have you on and excited to see how the show unfolds.
- 32:08Speaker 1: And I know all that good stuff. We're rooting for you.
- 32:12Speaker 1: I almost said, Lure, I'm going for Lace, thank you.
- 32:18Speaker 1: I appreciate that there should be some more comedy this week,
- 32:21Speaker 1: So okay, good, we like comedy, ye, won't I don't
- 32:26Speaker 1: know by let me meet you guys, I know, right,
- 32:34Speaker 1: don't tell anyone. Great, thanks for coming on bye. I
- 32:41Speaker 1: like her a lot. I think she seems really cool.
- 32:44Speaker 1: She's great. I mean, you know what television can do, right.
- 32:47Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I was actually I was thinking about it,
- 32:50Speaker 1: but then when you when you brought it up when
- 32:53Speaker 1: she was the villain on Ben season, and I was like,
- 32:55Speaker 1: oh my god, that's right. So it's like, you know,
- 32:57Speaker 1: now I wonder if I wonder if she is such
- 33:00Speaker 1: a villain that they can't have to So it's like
- 33:03Speaker 1: Lacey just comes out smelling like a rose. Yea, yeah,
- 33:08Speaker 1: it's so good. Um, I think they can have to.
- 33:11Speaker 1: But we'll have to wait and see, like you know,
- 33:15Speaker 1: how things, how things go. Um, I think it'll be
- 33:18Speaker 1: a really great season. You know. At the beginning, I
- 33:22Speaker 1: think that she said, but she thought it was going
- 33:25Speaker 1: to be boring in the show this past week, she
- 33:28Speaker 1: said that it was going to be boring, like her
- 33:29Speaker 1: season was so much more drama filled than exciting. But
- 33:33Speaker 1: I don't know, watching the previews, it seems like it's
- 33:37Speaker 1: going to be a really good season. So I just
- 33:39Speaker 1: feel like people that go on that show in particular
- 33:43Speaker 1: they know either they're right there there to just stir
- 33:45Speaker 1: at the sauce, there is no I mean, they're gonna
- 33:48Speaker 1: have fun, you know, and it's going to be next level,
- 33:52Speaker 1: you know, just high jinks. I mean, I can't possibly,
- 33:56Speaker 1: like I said, like, I mean, honestly, God, that show
- 33:59Speaker 1: in and of itself terrifies me because I literally I
- 34:02Speaker 1: feel like, oh my god, I would go on there
- 34:03Speaker 1: and just I get so taking advantage of I get
- 34:06Speaker 1: played into everybody's little mind meld thing. I'd be just
- 34:09Speaker 1: screwed over day one. And it's like, I get get
- 34:12Speaker 1: it because I'm so trying, I'm so trusting, and you
- 34:15Speaker 1: cannot go on that show and not have your wits
- 34:17Speaker 1: about you because I feel like I'm everybody is scheming,
- 34:21Speaker 1: you know. I don't know though, because there's um Brandon
- 34:25Speaker 1: and Serene. I believe it's Brandon Um. They right at
- 34:29Speaker 1: the gate are super cute couple. You can just envision
- 34:32Speaker 1: them getting engaged after the first night. So there are
- 34:35Speaker 1: people like that that I feel like are definitely there
- 34:40Speaker 1: to find glove. And seriously, I bet I want to
- 34:44Speaker 1: know how many people on this show have DMed each
- 34:47Speaker 1: other prior because all the girls are getting there on
- 34:50Speaker 1: the beach and they're like, I'm like, you knew they
- 34:54Speaker 1: were going to be there, Like, I'm sorry, but you
- 34:56Speaker 1: guys have been talking for months, you know, maybe for
- 35:01Speaker 1: a few weeks at least. Um, So I wonder how
- 35:04Speaker 1: many of them actually connect via d M. I'm sure
- 35:08Speaker 1: you're right. I mean, I'm sure you're right. They hear
