  Speaker 1: really fun episode.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: I'm so excited to talk to our guests today.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: We'll get into that in second, but we wanted to
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: let you all know that Almost Famous is doing something
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: new this year.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: I think this is the first year. Right, do you
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: think this is the first time they've ever done this?
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: I think so. I mean these are kind of like superlatives, right,
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: I think it's fun. So did you win any of these?
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: And you're when you were like in high school and
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: stuff like that before you oh superlatives?
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Oh gosh, I did.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I think I did, but I honestly cannot remember because
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: you know, bad memory and I'm fifty two years old.
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: But the baby.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Baby. But they are doing the Almost Famous Podcast Awards,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: and we just got the list of the nominees. I
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: think that Bob has a bone to pick with some you.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Know, I wouldn't say it's a bone to pick. I
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: would have just thought out of a courtesy, even if
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: the person writing these votes down doesn't believe this to
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: be true, just as a courtesy my name should have
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: been on there as a Best Bachelor possibility, right, I mean,
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: like I am part of the Almost Famous podcast team.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Don't you think I'm going to react a certain way
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: when I read these and I don't see my name.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: So obviously Bob's a little upset. But I will say
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: that one of the categories is best Bromance, and I
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: will most definitely be voting for you and all of
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the guys on my season because it's you and everyone
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: in my season was nominated for Best Bromance.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Yes, down has to be the winner, Like, come.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: On, it has to be. I mean, we were you know.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: And I will say this though, you know, that is
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: one of those things where you know, in all sincerity,
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: it was so and Ryan and I just talked about
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: this when we were together again. It was so organic
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: and just genuinely real that it was like one of
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: those things where we didn't know we weren't supposed to
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: get along, We didn't know they were supposed to be tension.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: You know. We were like, hey, man, I really like
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: this dude. I mean, if it can't be me, I
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: sure hope it's him, you know. And it was genuinely
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: that feeling of camaraderie and friendship, and so you know,
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: I can say honestly, I have I personally have watched
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: most seasons at some point or another. The only time
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: I've seen anything like it or with the Golden Guys,
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: I will say that. And and so I think the
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: only people that will give us a run here on
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: the mansion men. But if you look at it from
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: the standpoint of being a little maybe a little more mature,
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: beyond our age or beyond our years, at that point,
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: I would have to give hats off to the Trista
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Bachelorette Season one guys for that.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: Plus, I gotta win something. I mean, if I'm being
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: iced out on my own award for Bachelor, even though
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: I have to announce it, at least give me a
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: chance to win something. Sugarman. God, oh my gosh.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: So I thankfully fell on the list of best Bachelorette.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I was a little shocked, to be honest. Yes, I mean.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Good candidates there. There's only four under Bachelor, so so
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: at least they realized that, hey, at this rate, Trista,
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: does you know she's going to win a But also
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: we better that's not true.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: I don't you know, It's funny because most of the people, sorry,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: most of the people who were will probably vote for
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: this are way younger than us, So season chances that
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: me or you and the rest of my cast win
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: for Best Romance very small. I don't expect that kind
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: of stuff. But it is really fun and I love
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: a good award show, and I love that this is
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: all about the Bachelor, So thank you for almost famous
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: for doing this, and iHeart I.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Gotta find if there's another category we can get Ben nominated,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: and there's He's only nominated in a couple, so we're
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: gonna try and see if we can stack the deck
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: a little more here. I'll work on this. Yeah, he's
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: under Best Romance. Also, that's nice, so he'll probably win
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: that one. Yeah, you know, it's nice. It's nice to
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: see his name in there a lot. So anyway, what
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: are you saying? I'm sorry, I got a little concerned
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: enough about enough about no one talking about me. Let's
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: not talk about.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: It, Okay.

• 4:48
  Speaker 1: find all the information. I'm sure on the almost famous
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Instagram page.

  Speaker 3: There are some really good ones in here as well.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, one of the things I love, and this
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: is something we had talked about previously, was what is
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: this one? This one is worst line ever said? And
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: it was, Oh gosh, it's so cringe worthy. Man, I
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: remember it so well, I swear I remember this one
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: goes yesterday where Jake Pavelka is talking and he's talking
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: about her, you know, interrupting her, and he starts to
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: talk and she says something because will you stop interrupting me?
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: She says, like, that's it my mother here. It was
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: so oh my god. I remember watching it like it
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: was like watching the OJ thing when he's driving down
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: the highway doing seven miles an hour. I was just
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: like my mouth was wide open, going, what in the
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: hell is happening here? I remember that so well.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, totally well.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: And I do have to say we just got well,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: not just we were in Tahoe recently for the almost
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: famous pickleball event.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: That was so much fun. I had the best time.

  Speaker 3: And you know, I'm saying thank you to our team,
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: Like they got out there and they set this thing up,

  Speaker 3: The way that this thing went off without a hitch,
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: it was unbelievable and means so much fun. And the
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: what I think is really great too is how Amy

• 6:42
  Speaker 3: that's not the one. How Amy and her team. What
• 6:46

• 6:47
  Speaker 3: team find a really healthy mix of people, Like it's
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: always a few different people here and there, and most
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: of them are people that I'm meeting for the first
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: time in a lot of circumstances, and it's always a
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: nice blend. Like it's really great. I just I mean,

  Speaker 1: We had a great time just hanging out of the
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: house and eating some great food. Yes, but the boat.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about the boat because the boat was owned
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: or is owned by somebody that you all have probably
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: seen before if you watched the show in the og days.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Yes, So we sat.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: And watched this video in Tahoe, me and you and Deanna,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: and oh my gosh, it brought back so many memories
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: because it was actually during the show that we're going
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: to bring on, you know, the guests that was on
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: the show that they announced my season of The Bachelorette,

  Speaker 1: in that time of when it was being announced, because gosh,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: it's been a really long time and just all the
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: feels that came along with it.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: You know, I will say this, you were so spunky.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: You were so spunky in your interview, and so so
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: much has changed, but so much has stayed the same.
• 8:18

  Speaker 3: you are, like still still just funny and spunky as ever,
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: and that and that thing I was watching it, and

• 8:29
  Speaker 3: fell in love with you, Trista, like and that in
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: that little video thing and you're sitting there talking to

• 9:40
  Speaker 3: and We're just kind of driving along and he's like,

• 10:06
  Speaker 3: how you know. You and I are on the boat
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: and you're like, yeah, you know, I've known Amy Sugarman

• 10:14
  Speaker 3: you know, I'm not super familiar with the show. I

• 10:17
  Speaker 3: wait what Oh yeah, I was a finalist for season two.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, hold on, hold on. And then you
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: pull up you pull up this little screenshot and showed
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: it to me. I'm like, this is amazing we got
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: to talk to this guy.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: Yes, it was a coincidence. I mean seriously, it was
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: a total coincidence. And the timing was great, and I yeah,
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: when I when I saw you guys were on the boat,
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: I just had to tell you that for a wind loser,
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: nothing else, you know.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Yes, So yeah, it was awesome. I mean, you know,
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: it was so fun. You know, we meet you on
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: the boat. You're you know, really you were so lovely
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: on the boat too, giving us a tour of the
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: whole place and filling us in on, you know, some
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: of the history of Lake Tahoe, and I mean very
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: knowledgeable about that area. So how did this whole thing
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: come to pass? Because what was also part of that
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: video that we loved that we were talking about before
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: he brought you on was it also was the announcement
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: of Trista as the new bachelorette, which was super cool.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: And we discovered that Trista and I discovered that when
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: I dropped her off the final cruise you might Save
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: that day I showed Tristan, she goes, oh my god,
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: that's me.
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: You know. That was that was the show.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: So yeah, the timing was interesting there, and yeah, I thought,
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: that's an experience. I'm sure you guys obviously gonna rap
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: a lot more, but an experience I'll never forget. And yeah,
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: you know, I had an ext girlfriend from graduate school
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: in New York. She nominated me behind my back, just
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: you know, for the record, and Burbank called me, and
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: one thing led to another.
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: A couple of.
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: Tapes were sent back and forth. And because two thousand
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: and two and I was on a one way ticket
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: on Southwest Airlines to LA and they had me typecasted
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: pretty good.
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: They did a good job.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: But we were gonna say that, right, Twista, Like we
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: were like, how does it feel? Because you know, here,
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: here's the if we're thinking about this twist like from
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: here in my exper it's compared to Jason's. Right, we
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: were both like the ones that they were making the
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Bachelor or the Bachelorette. So they had to say nice
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: stuff about us, right and Trista you can't you can't
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: help but say nice things about Trista. Me. They could
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: take some shots with ease and it would have been
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: perfectly fun. But like for you that I loved the
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: whole Lisa Levinson's engagement with you, and she's like, oh, Jason,
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: here we go.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: You know, well, I learned the hard way that when
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: you when you when they have so much content, they
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: could make you. They can make you whoever you want.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: They had me typecast it as the JF. Kate Junior
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: of San Francisco.
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: You know, there you go, what are you gonna do?
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: I don't I don't run Bruce Sprince in Presidio Heights
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: and San Francisco.
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: I don't mount by shirtless with no helmet.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: You know that day you did, that day you did. Yeah,
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: you were playing a mean game of horse or something
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: there and.
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: It was amazing.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: It was so funny.
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: Well, yes, yeah, iron't even at all, is is it? When?
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: When there came San Francisco, they had a premiere party
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: for me because I was the only San Francisco guy
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: and board got around and my date back then, Katie,
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: she left during after she saw the taping. She goes
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: during the premiere she's walked out.
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: Of the building. Well she's down.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: My wife twenty five years later, full circle, We just
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: got married in October. But she was in chew at
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: UCLA and was in Malibu for twenty years and we
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: kept in contact. But it's just a testament ironically about love,
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: you know, and.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: For us, I was fifty two years old.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: It took me fifty two years to find Katie, and
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: she was the only person I was going to marry.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: So I live in Lake Tahoe. I'm in the Uncle
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: Hall of Fame. I don't need I didn't need. I
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: didn't need a wife, but Katie wasn't and it worked out.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: So really a testament to our love. I think she
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: we met again, so it was great.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: I think Jason, I think Trista and I might be
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: able to count this as another win for the Bachelor franchise.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, I.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Don't know about that, but what I do, what I
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: am wondering. So we did pay attention to what the
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: producers were we're saying during your you know, little clips,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: and one of the things that they said, or maybe
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: it was you you said that you were having relations
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: with three women at the same time, is that when
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Katie walked out the door.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: I said, this was.
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: Nine months ago.

• 16:13
  Speaker 4: Bob too. It's an amazing it's an amazing experience.
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: Again, for better or for worse, we always have that
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: in common.
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: You know, that special moment with the ABC bubble in
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: the corner of screen right there.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, So what what did your family think about
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: and friends?
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, when this video came out?
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: What were your what were the things that you were
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: getting comments wise from your press?
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: It was not that it wasn't good.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: Like my grandparents are probably they're just ceased now, but
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: they were probably in their.
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: Sixties, you know, you know. And there was there was
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: my when my brothers were in There was college parties.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: There were parties around the Bay area, and I well
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: first of five, but.
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: I spent respect the rest of the night putting out
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: the Thekadi fire.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: But that the next day comes and it's you know,
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: it's before texting, basically, it's around that time.
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: But I had to explained myself and say, hey, I
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: learned the hard way. You know, they flatter you.
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: They flatter you, you know, the the love incidents of
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: the world.
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: Deep they bait you, They bait you, and.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: All of a sudden, they get this image they created
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: and and it was not It didn't depect didn't depect
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: who I was, truly, but they kind of they stroked
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: you a little bit and you get carried away. And
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: so I had explained to them that and it was
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: a less a real hard lesson about humility.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: You know. It was a dose.
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: And I will say this, I don't think I ever
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: had a chance to be on that show for a
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: lot of reasons. I mean, a bachelor. A side story
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: was my brother got married during taping and I had
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: to go to NAPA. I was his best man, so
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: I was allowed to call him. I vanished, as you know,
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: you vanished for a few weeks, you know, or whatever
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: it is. My mom was my old emergency contact, and
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: I called Tommy. I go tom, I said, you know,
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: I'm on this reality show. It doesn't make a difference.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: But they want to bring the camera crew to NAPA,
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: and he was he said, no, that's.
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: Not gonna happen.
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: Obviously, he's think of that best, the best man, the
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: whole thing, not a beautiful wedding.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: But I had to I had a lot of explaining to,
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: especially my grandparents because you know, there there old school.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: I understand the whole the verbiage, the freaking, the content.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Well, it was racy. For it was racy at the
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: time too, right like now now it's pretty uh you know,
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: vanilla compared to things that you see on TV now,
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: But back then it was kind of racy. I could
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: see that. You know, my family reacted the same.
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: Ways on a nerdplane.
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: He's a he's a banker, and I'm just you know,
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: I'm sorted with girl.
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: It was just a whole deal.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Listen.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: I'm just I'm just hopeful. I'm just hopeful that someone
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: can love me despite my large bank account. It was
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: the best. But you know what, man, we both know
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: how that works with the producers. And I'm sure they're saying, oh,
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: you you should say should say this, it'll really, you know,
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: really help resonate you with the crown people and you're
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: not even thinking.
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: I was thinking about this today. I was thinking about
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: us today and one of.
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: The things has me with my sunglasses on, going down
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: the hallway with one of the interns, arm in arm and.
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: They're filming that. Well, they grabbed my arm. They set
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: me up like, you know, like Mona Lisa. You know
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: I was framed.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: I was framed, framed like the Mona Lisa.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: I've never heard bad edit.
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: I went along with the hook line and sacred and
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: I guess I was. I provide a purpose for the
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: final four.
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: So there you go there. It was fun. I mean again,
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: my class high school and college classmates, they couldn't believe, you.
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: Know, at the time, they go what what Jason Domas
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: knows on national television and work got around. It was
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: fun but no regrets. I just wish I could have
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: been more mindful of the hundreds of minutes.
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: They had on me.
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: I have to say.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: One of the other fun things that I felt, like
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: you said, was they asked you if you could get
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: engaged when it comes to engagement, and you said I
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: can do it, not saying I will do it, but
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: I'm capable of doing it doing it like like, oh
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: yeah to.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Me, basically I can be down.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: I mean I can bend down.
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, you know, faver gold his eyes.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: And that wouldn't have gone over well if you had
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: said that, you know, I don't think you would. You'd
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: have even have been considered for the show. But that
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: is so funny.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: So funny. I loved it. I loved it, especially after
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: meeting you too, Like, you know, we meet you and
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: you're just like a super nice guy, super affable, saying
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: hi to everybody, you know, being so inclusive, and and
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: then you watch that little clips and you're like, oh
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: my god, I love it. I can't wait to tease
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: him about this one. You know. So I'm sure I'm
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: sure your friends got a lot of miles out of
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: that with you. For a long time they did.
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: I had a little love you know. It's a chase
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: moment too. I don't think a drink in San Francisco
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: for a little bit and my entarage. They didn't pay
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: for drinks there, good.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: Couple of they took.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: They took advantage of that.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Okay, great good. At least I got something out of
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: the hundreds of minutes or you.
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: Know, what's interesting is half the things you're saying right now, Katie, Katie,
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: was she left so early in this, in this, in
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: that fifteen minute clip that when she saw the video
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: again privately with me as a married couple, she it
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: was all.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: New to her.
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: Half, it was new to her and yeah, well that
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: it was going to covered too well either, so.
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: Brought yeah, sorry.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, please Katie, accept our apologies on behalf of the
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: Bachelor community.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: So I would love to know if you were considered
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: for future seasons after that. Did they get in touch
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: with you again?
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: No?
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: I think I just I just I just went back
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: to my job and try to live my normal life,
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: which I.
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: Did, you know, of course, and that was it.
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: There was no there was no I guess what, I
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: guess the Bacheler would have been my next move.
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: I guess during that time.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: The franchise has gotten in a different different venues and
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: angles now. But no, I just kind of I put
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: back into the oblivion of a of normal normalcy, you know.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, half is the best of us, buddy, Yeah, half
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: of the best of us.
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: But I got it, I must admit, you know, I
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: told Katie this too. She's upstairs.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: But I said, you know, YouTube, YouTube handled a Tanneled
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: success in that limelight so well and with class. I mean,
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: I remember you, Tristed because well you're not. You guys
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: are both icons. But like I thought about this legacy wise, No, Tristan,
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: you were the first uple of many.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: That follows you.
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: Like it's kind of a morbid thing, Tristed, But you
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: should know this when you when you did, when you
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: pass away, someday, right, you're gonna you're gonna be remembered
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: as the first woman, the first batchsorette.
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: And I'm not.
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: Wrong here, right, Like you're not gonna be forgotten, which
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: is like you will be forgotten, Bob, you too, you were.
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: It's almost like being the president of the United States
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: or or president for women. You guys have that book,
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: that place mark in history, which is really cool.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: You know, that's nice. That's nice for you to say that.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: I I mean, I hope I would be considered one
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: of the favorites. Yeah, you know, when you're looking at
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: the Bachelor's like if you were to say, like favorite bachelor,
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: like maybe one of the don't know, the top five,
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: you know that could be possibly voted on for an
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: award or something like. I would hope that would be potential,
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: but you never know, I mean, so many things can happen,
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: You know, I don't watch the shows. I don't, in
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: fact put a bad takes in my mouth to be
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: perfectly honest. Sure, but I remember you step uh, the
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: guy Aaron my Era in the Fire still Andrew Fire
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: Star and then and then you bop.
• 23:39

• 24:41
  Speaker 4: looked at Chambers one night? Did you guys go to Chambers.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: I've been there, but I wasn't there that night where
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: a flight got delayed.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: So I got in super late. Yeah.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: So Chambers Landing is beautiful, beautiful.
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: That's where I live basically, and I don't take it.
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: I don't take a day for granted and in general,
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: but living here, it's it's special to live in a
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: in a.
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: Resort town, you know.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I lived in Vail for twenty years, so I
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: totally totally get it. Very small town, very you know,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: resort feel, and I totally get it. So thank you
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: so much for taking us all out in Detroit.
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: I want to met Ryan, I know he was he
• 25:22

  Speaker 3: Thanks buddy, yeaes sir, we both did We both did well.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: You both did well.
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: It Ryan's is as iconic as you two, I mean,
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: just he is. It's just what it is and it's
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: a true testament. So it's it's a lot of irony
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: here with Katie being there, and then twenty five years
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: later we got married and we're both in our fifties
• 25:50

  Speaker 4: I'm really happy to be on and I'm now a
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: fan of yours. I actually I've been I spin the
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: Wheel on my podcast. I hope that wheel hits the
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: OG podcast.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: So thank you.
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: Yay.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: Hey, I have a question for you, Jason. So obviously
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: at that time, you know, you were you were being
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: considered for for for the next Bachelor role. How did
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: you how did they tell you that it wasn't going
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: to be you? Or did you find out when they
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: announced it after that premiere? Like did you think that
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: maybe you still had a chance? Like where what were
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: the what was going through your mind? And how did
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: you find out? Like what were the mechanics of it
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: back then?
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: You know, I don't I know I know that I wasn't,
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: but I knew I was. I knew I wasn't because
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: they told me. I think they said it a different direction.
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: I also told them about my brother's wedding. It just
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: but h and about you, as you know, you can't
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: spill the beans either, right, So right, I'd gone there
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: and like you know this premiere. Hey, no, but my
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: New York friend think that they know they knewhim. They
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: knew I was in Barney rubble trouble with Katie. Uh
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: and and I couldn't say anything to anybody about anything.
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: So I knew going into it that it wasn't the guy.
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: And but it's okay. Again, you're live and you learn.
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I talk a lot like right now, but I've
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: been I've become a big fan of listening more than
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: talking since that day.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Since that day, that's the learning lesson from my experience
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: with Bachelor Nation.

• 33:42
  Speaker 1: the show. And really truly, like I just said, I
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: do remember him from the show. It may have been

  Speaker 3: But so good.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: I'm glad he like took away something from the experience

• 34:12
  Speaker 1: just you know that that you know, Katie is the
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: one for him and listening more than talking.
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: And yeah, well and I think too. You know something
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: that I like about him is he has the ability
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: to laugh at himself, you know, like you and I
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: do it all the time. And it's like when you
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: put yourself out there, you gotta if you if you
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: aren't willing to do that then you're really setting yourself
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: up for some heartbreak, you know. And it's like for
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: him to be able to laugh at himself and look
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: back at that moment and go, oh my god, what
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: was I thinking? You know, I mean, we've we've all
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: had those moments, not you know, most people out there
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: haven't had him play out in front of millions of viewers.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: But you know, thankfully, thankfully for us, we did, and
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: people responded to us in a really nice way. And
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: you know, I think that's pretty cool that he has
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: ability to laugh at himself. So good for you, Jason,
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: and thanks for joining us. We appreciate you.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Yes, I think they're learning lessons that everyone can can
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: take from this episode laughing yourself. And I had never
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: heard that God gave you two ears in one mouth, so,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: oh my gush.
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: I say it to my boys all the time. I'm like, hey,
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: what are these my ears? How many too? What's this
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: my mouth? How many of those one? Why do you
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: think that.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: Is because the mouth has to be louder in order
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: to match the two ears.
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, to believe you in this house, that certainly plays true.
• 35:33
