0:14
Speaker 1: us have gotten here. Do you guys want to rundown

Speaker 1: with Wells Golfing. And you have Tasha Tasha where she
0:42
Speaker 1: and Amanda with her daughter kids. So that is quite
0:45
Speaker 1: a pack. And everybody flew out from somewhere else in California. Um, oh,
0:51
Speaker 1: oh my goodness. Vanessa is she a haund right now?
0:54
Speaker 1: She's here too. She has not yet arrived, but the
0:56
Speaker 1: poor thing has been delayed like an entire twenty four
0:59
Speaker 1: hour in Chicago or something. She's had some really bad
1:05
Speaker 1: plane experiences when it comes to coming out for iHeart events.
1:08
Speaker 1: I feel really bad for her. This is like the
1:09
Speaker 1: second straight trip where she's been starting at an airport
1:12
Speaker 1: for hours on it. Yeah, okay, well, um, we're gonna
1:16
Speaker 1: try to get Bawn on the line about five minutes.
1:18
Speaker 1: So this gives Crystal Ye some girl talk time. Um.
1:21
Speaker 1: Crystal was like seriously and we sat down. She was like,
1:23
Speaker 1: are you okay? I'm just super prissled. I need to
1:28
Speaker 1: like take break into your hands. Are you're gonna do
1:30
Speaker 1: like a common breath and big breath out? What I'm
1:37
Speaker 1: gonna do that again? Big breath in? A listeners out
1:43
Speaker 1: here following our lead and just hiving three last one
1:45
Speaker 1: for you? Then ah, there we go. Feel better? Yeah
1:52
Speaker 1: a little bit. It's those deep breath girl, pull yourself
1:56
Speaker 1: back into your body, just like being bread that well
2:00
Speaker 1: you like walk literally Ashley walks right in through the door,
2:03
Speaker 1: sets her suitcased out, and then comes up and puts
2:05
Speaker 1: on her headset and I was like, what, like we're
2:07
Speaker 1: doing this? You're going right, and like what a boss woman.
2:11
Speaker 1: Jared and I came. We we had a six am
2:13
Speaker 1: fly out of Boston this morning to Tahoe, had a
2:16
Speaker 1: layover in Phoenix. We were up till midnight last night
2:19
Speaker 1: for a good reason. We went to a Rob Thomas concert.
2:22
Speaker 1: We're now officially not just a friend friendly with Rob.
2:25
Speaker 1: You're like just straight up the front of them, which
2:27
Speaker 1: is pretty awesome. Is he coming to the wedding. There's
2:29
Speaker 1: a very slim chance. He said he has some things
2:32
Speaker 1: to attend to with his wife that week, but he
2:35
Speaker 1: wasn't invited, and he very much appreciates the you know,
2:38
Speaker 1: those sentiments. But he's very super awesome. Jared has definitely
2:43
Speaker 1: got me on the Rob Thomas train. But then it
2:45
Speaker 1: was just like, it's just those I think it's funny
2:48
Speaker 1: when when Ben's here and he's like, actually, you're getting married.
2:50
Speaker 1: Do you feel full of love right now? I'm like, Ben,
2:53
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say I feel full of love right now,
2:55
Speaker 1: but I'm really just full of freaking stress because it
2:58
Speaker 1: is that last two months going into the wedding where
3:01
Speaker 1: you're like, I need that week to come now because
3:03
Speaker 1: these small details that I never would have thought would
3:07
Speaker 1: cross my mind come up. What is stressing out the most? Well, okay,
3:11
Speaker 1: just a great example. My wedding planner just sent me
3:15
Speaker 1: an email. There was we thought that the band was
3:17
Speaker 1: going to cover these movie scores that we're going to play.
3:20
Speaker 1: But the band doesn't have strings, and I go what
3:24
Speaker 1: I go to? The whole point was to have a cello,
3:27
Speaker 1: a violin and a piano to play movie scores during dinner.
3:32
Speaker 1: It would be awesome, right, This is one of like
3:34
Speaker 1: jarity detail oriented. It's just it's one of the personality here.
3:42
Speaker 1: You want to freaking tell her. So we found out
3:46
Speaker 1: that the orchestra. We have this band, Um, they're coming
3:49
Speaker 1: in our wedding planners just like obsessed with them. But
3:52
Speaker 1: last week we realized that they've been calling themselves an orchestra,
3:56
Speaker 1: but truly they're a band because there's no string and
4:00
Speaker 1: I go, oh, I've been assuming an orchestra I would
4:02
Speaker 1: have strings. So anyway, we just watched like a YouTube
4:05
Speaker 1: clip of No I Know performed. They have different varieties, okay,
4:10
Speaker 1: and we have the variety that it comes without the strings.
4:13
Speaker 1: So we had to go and get a trio. Am
4:14
Speaker 1: I boring everyone already now? So we had to get
4:19
Speaker 1: um figure out a trio in the area that could
4:21
Speaker 1: play our date. So my wedding planner and his team
4:24
Speaker 1: find one. But I just while pulling up to this
4:27
Speaker 1: cabin found out that they want to charge hundred dollars
4:32
Speaker 1: for just thirty five minutes. What eyes were like, bug out?
4:39
Speaker 1: Yeah really, so I'm like, are you freaking kidding me?
4:43
Speaker 1: You know I have a solution. Can we just like
4:45
Speaker 1: sync up Spotify and just play it over a speaker
4:49
Speaker 1: to create the same effect. You can hire like like
4:52
Speaker 1: an actor, like those improv actors that we tend to
4:54
Speaker 1: play like really they're not actually like it's just a speaker.
5:00
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like when push comes the shop, let's
5:02
Speaker 1: be resourceful here, all right, I think I'm going I
5:04
Speaker 1: got a month subscription. You can have it like it's
5:09
Speaker 1: yours by getting Well, I'll let you know if you
5:12
Speaker 1: have to revert to that, but I'm absolutely not paying
5:14
Speaker 1: anyone five minutes supply and demand. Well, you're in Rhode Island,
5:20
Speaker 1: so it's like the population of like a thousand people,
5:23
Speaker 1: like the chance to feel like the only people in
5:26
Speaker 1: the entire state. Yeah, what was the number one stressful
5:29
Speaker 1: thing for you guys? And playing the wedding? I know
5:30
Speaker 1: that like ABC really took care of you guys, as
5:33
Speaker 1: they do with all their weddings, But what was like
5:36
Speaker 1: something that you had a difficult time deciding on. I
5:39
Speaker 1: would say, Um, what was just really really stressful for
5:43
Speaker 1: me was hair and makeup. I didn't have a hair
5:45
Speaker 1: makeup trial until less than twenty hours before the Oh.
5:49
Speaker 1: I remember it was like it was I was having
5:53
Speaker 1: so much anxiety, and I think, really what it was
5:57
Speaker 1: was just, um, you're just nervous. And we hadn't written
5:59
Speaker 1: our vows until the morning of that question, what in
6:05
Speaker 1: the world are you thinking? You know, I just need
6:08
Speaker 1: to be inspired. And I thought, Chris, and I'm going
6:11
Speaker 1: to allocate some time too. I thought we'd have the
6:13
Speaker 1: time to go to the beach and have this romantic
6:16
Speaker 1: moment where we write it, you know, under the stars
6:19
Speaker 1: and a shooting star goes back, have it like it's
6:24
Speaker 1: just like time goes by so fast and suddenly you're
6:26
Speaker 1: there and suddenly it's the day before we're leaving, and
6:29
Speaker 1: just so much accommodating with friends and family, and for us,
6:32
Speaker 1: it was just it was a lot of people constantly
6:34
Speaker 1: coming in that it was really fun and exciting, but
6:37
Speaker 1: kept us from things like writing our vows until the
6:41
Speaker 1: day before. But I will say that once I had
6:44
Speaker 1: them done, Um, I said everything I wanted and I
6:48
Speaker 1: had to do it in that Moment's great, writer, Dan,
6:51
Speaker 1: you wanted to find a moment that inspires and is
6:55
Speaker 1: amused for you because like you do want like a
6:58
Speaker 1: romantic quiet time, and in the midst of this last
7:01
Speaker 1: minute wedding planning, you don't really find that. You find
7:04
Speaker 1: yourselves like more like what arena do with that? Wouldn't
7:06
Speaker 1: do that, and like less of it, like less of
7:08
Speaker 1: its romantic and honestly, like Chris and I, we have
7:10
Speaker 1: been talking with ABC for months but we didn't get
7:13
Speaker 1: the final confirmation until like a month before. I remember
7:16
Speaker 1: when we asked you were like, is it happening? And
7:18
Speaker 1: You're like it was like You're like, um, it's still
7:21
Speaker 1: kind of up lying on it and say it living
7:25
Speaker 1: the weekend open, I'm like, am I getting married or not?
7:29
Speaker 1: Do I start like this workout program or where's my car?
7:34
Speaker 1: But my ratio right now? But you know it all
7:38
Speaker 1: worked out, and I do have to say like you're
7:39
Speaker 1: there in that moment and looking around and it was
7:41
Speaker 1: wild because it was like our family plus like a
7:44
Speaker 1: bunch of cast and you're there. I'm just someone fool
7:47
Speaker 1: there to celebrate you and you and Jared were there
7:49
Speaker 1: and It was just so nice to have, you know,
7:51
Speaker 1: like our friends just be there in that moment um.
7:54
Speaker 1: It was so exciting because you guys are getting married
7:56
Speaker 1: and Raven and Adam were there. They just it was
7:59
Speaker 1: the first time I ever met Raven and Adam. First off,
8:02
Speaker 1: can't believe we haven't have them on the show, Amy.
8:03
Speaker 1: We've gotta get on that. Um. They are awesome, really
8:08
Speaker 1: really like it just felt warm and their presence art
8:11
Speaker 1: off the bat. Really enjoyed them. I actually slat Adam
8:14
Speaker 1: at the gym the day of the wedding. You met
8:16
Speaker 1: him for the first time. I did. Yeah, at the gym.
8:18
Speaker 1: I was there with all my friends and we were
8:20
Speaker 1: all doing this like circuit style work out, like twelve
8:22
Speaker 1: of us and at least I think was there. She
8:25
Speaker 1: was she there that day or the day before, but
8:27
Speaker 1: we took over the gym. That are still a little
8:30
Speaker 1: work out her day the day of her wedding. Um,
8:33
Speaker 1: so of course, yeah, I gotta get that triset pump.

Speaker 1: You think that's real, Like it really like if you
8:38
Speaker 1: do it the day of, like you get the definition
8:40
Speaker 1: you do. But most importantly, you just get in like
8:42
Speaker 1: a mental space where you're like Okay, I got this. Okay, well,
8:46
Speaker 1: m apparently Ben has arrived before we get bit on
8:49

10:33
Speaker 1: thank you for checking in with us, especially when you're
10:36
Speaker 1: so so busy. I'll try to hold the fort down
10:38
Speaker 1: here as best as I can. Ashley the best. Oh,
10:42
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to do this for me when I'm
10:44
Speaker 1: on my honeymoon. You're gonna have a couple of weeks
10:46
Speaker 1: where I am not going to look at my freaking phone.
10:49
Speaker 1: You shouldn't actually get away. We'll talk all about alright
10:53
Speaker 1: bye man. Alright, guys, we are back with Crystal and
10:56
Speaker 1: we were talking about the people that were at your wedding.
11:00
Speaker 1: Thank you for inviting us, Thanks for having us there.
11:02
Speaker 1: I think, um, when people think Bachelor wedding. One of
11:05
Speaker 1: the first questions that comes up is how many people
11:08
Speaker 1: do you have to have there that you've never met?
11:10
Speaker 1: Like you just said you met Adam for the first time,
11:13
Speaker 1: and then how many people have you only met once
11:15
Speaker 1: or twice? And then you kind of just have to
11:17
Speaker 1: have them for ceremonial reasons, and there's an allocated space
11:22
Speaker 1: of people you've never met at your wedding. So it's
11:25
Speaker 1: so crazy. But you know, Chris, we knew that going
11:28
Speaker 1: into it, and I think ultimately what it was was, um,
11:33
Speaker 1: maybe it was a little sooner than when we thought
11:35
Speaker 1: about getting married, but the fact that we were going
11:37
Speaker 1: to be able to have our family and friends and
11:39
Speaker 1: do it where we had our first day, and you know,
11:42
Speaker 1: Bachelor has been really good to us. It's how we
11:44
Speaker 1: met and have supported the development of our relationships. So
11:48
Speaker 1: it was it was a leap of faith and we're honestly,
11:52
Speaker 1: like Mary, life has been incredible. That's awesome. Do you
11:55
Speaker 1: have any regrets about doing it in Paradise? I know
11:57
Speaker 1: we're all going to see it in Dice when it
12:00
Speaker 1: starts airing in August. I'm sure you know the actual
12:03
Speaker 1: date and can't release it yet, so I won't even ask,
12:05
Speaker 1: but is there? I actually don't know the day, so
12:08
Speaker 1: I'm just like surrendering to the entire process. I'm just
12:12
Speaker 1: rolling with it. So was that a little bit of
12:14
Speaker 1: a regret that you had to be so hand off
12:16
Speaker 1: hands off and just like let them do their things.
12:18
Speaker 1: So you know what's so funny is, like I said
12:21
Speaker 1: years and years ago, I go, if I were to
12:23
Speaker 1: ever get married, it would be in Mexico, and I
12:25
Speaker 1: wouldn't want to plan anything except for the dress in
12:27
Speaker 1: the cake. And it's so funny. What you what you ask,
12:31
Speaker 1: you shall receive. And I was really cool with it
12:34
Speaker 1: up until the last couple of weeks or the last
12:36
Speaker 1: few weeks, because our family and friends didn't even have
12:38
Speaker 1: their hotel until like their flight or hotel until like
12:42
Speaker 1: ten days before, so everyone was and we were just
12:45
Speaker 1: the middlemen. So that was the only stressful part. I
12:48
Speaker 1: would say it was challenging to not be able to
12:50
Speaker 1: give them like definitive answers um, But ultimately, I think
12:53
Speaker 1: what I really learned about myself as well as Chris
12:56
Speaker 1: throughout this process was just that life is on folding
13:00
Speaker 1: around you, and sometimes when we have preferences about how
13:03
Speaker 1: things should be. We really just create resistance and things
13:07
Speaker 1: don't move smoothly. But when you let go and you
13:09
Speaker 1: just surrender, it just unfolds as it's supposed to. And
13:13
Speaker 1: I will say that I am a little inspired because
13:15
Speaker 1: I just read The Surrender Experiment by Michael A. Singer
13:18
Speaker 1: and it is the best book I have ever read,
13:22
Speaker 1: next to Becoming Michelle Obama. So good. Okay, well, that
13:27
Speaker 1: sounds like a really interesting theory. I think, like a
13:29
Speaker 1: lot of things in my life have happened best when
13:31
Speaker 1: you do just like let go and you're like, Okay,
13:33
Speaker 1: if it's meant to be, it will be, and then
13:35
Speaker 1: it comes. I think you just let go and just
13:37
Speaker 1: have faith and you just focus on the feelings that
13:39
Speaker 1: you want to feel. You don't focus on what if
13:43
Speaker 1: this bad thing happens or what if I feel really
13:45
Speaker 1: stressed out. You're just like, I'm just gonna really, it's
13:47
Speaker 1: gonna work out exactly as it's meant to be, and
13:50
Speaker 1: nothing I can do for I have a couple of
13:53
Speaker 1: thoughts from all this that we've talked about. Your makeup
13:55
Speaker 1: and hair looked fantastic, So even though you have had
13:58
Speaker 1: to wait and stress about that, look. The first time
14:01
Speaker 1: I saw you walking down the I was like, well,
14:03
Speaker 1: her hair and makeup on hills because they like flew
14:08
Speaker 1: in some girls to do my makeup. And I will
14:10
Speaker 1: say when those girls came in, one of them looked
14:13
Speaker 1: just like Jesse James Dekker and the other looked just
14:16
Speaker 1: like co Coo Kardashi And they were literally my squad
14:21
Speaker 1: that just like brought me it maybe like enjoy it,
14:24
Speaker 1: and they made it's fun and it made me feel
14:27
Speaker 1: really really beautiful. So it's important for like the bride
14:30
Speaker 1: to you know, feel good with the hair, in the
14:32
Speaker 1: makeup and the dress. Just the only day it really
14:36
Speaker 1: really really matters, like even in um comparison to just
14:40
Speaker 1: like days that we're filming Bachelor shows. At the end
14:44
Speaker 1: of the day, if you look crappy on one episode,
14:46
Speaker 1: it's on the end of the world. Whatever. So I
14:50
Speaker 1: haven't even seen photos from the wedding. Well I saw,
14:54
Speaker 1: I saw the people and it was like two photos
14:56
Speaker 1: and then they did like one of our wedding cake topper.
14:59
Speaker 1: I was gonna say always, at the end of the day,
15:01
Speaker 1: you got to pick your dress that was super important
15:04
Speaker 1: to you, and then you got to pick your cake.
15:06
Speaker 1: Because I think because of what you had on the
15:09
Speaker 1: top of the kick, could only you guys upgraded? Okay,
15:12
Speaker 1: So Chris and I went into this place called Dube
15:15
Speaker 1: d O O B in San Diego and we went
15:17
Speaker 1: in with Wayne and Chucky are Dogs and went into
15:21
Speaker 1: this room with like nine cameras and all of them
15:24
Speaker 1: simultaneously took a photo of us, creating a three D
15:27
Speaker 1: like a very detail, the three D depiction of us
15:30
Speaker 1: that it was like, honey, I shrugged the kids and
15:32
Speaker 1: the guy and the dogs and that was It was
15:36
Speaker 1: so cool. I stared at it for like a solid
15:39
Speaker 1: ten minutes. So this is the coolest one and kick
15:41
Speaker 1: of ever. So Wayenne and Chucky looked fantastic, but Chris
15:45
Speaker 1: and I looked like that photo that's going around where
15:47
Speaker 1: like ages you we look he had gray hair. You
15:51
Speaker 1: didn't look exactly accurate, but I thought like he looked
15:53
Speaker 1: like himself, and I thought he looked handsome on the
15:55
Speaker 1: top of the kike. I know he was very offended
15:57
Speaker 1: by the portraits, like I look like a white walker.
16:02
Speaker 1: It's like it's ongoing joke. But it was fun. It
16:06
Speaker 1: was us and it was just us being goofy and
16:08
Speaker 1: I think we really wanted that to come through with
16:10
Speaker 1: the wedding. Great, that's awesome. Um, a couple of days
16:13
Speaker 1: after the wedding, I will actually know. On Instagram we
16:17
Speaker 1: saw it was a couple of days after the wedding
16:18
Speaker 1: that you got your actual certificate in America married couple.
16:24
Speaker 1: JAREDI are super nervous, Jared, and I don't know how
16:30
Speaker 1: to go about this. Can you please explain? So simple?
16:34
Speaker 1: So simple? You guys, you guys should give me a
16:36
Speaker 1: look like it was like, don't bring this up. We're
16:38
Speaker 1: not actually married. That's why I started there. You are
16:42
Speaker 1: actually paperwork. No. I was like, wait what No, that
16:46
Speaker 1: was actually an old photo when we applied for the license,
16:49
Speaker 1: So that was an old photo like Chris, you know,
16:51
Speaker 1: brought in. But the process was really simple in San Diego.
16:54
Speaker 1: We just made an appointment for the next day when
16:57
Speaker 1: and applied and that was it. And then who do
17:00
Speaker 1: get it signed by? Like did Chris Harrison sign? He did?
17:03
Speaker 1: He signed it in Mexico, and then you brought it
17:05
Speaker 1: back to the States and submitted it. Okay, so all
17:08
Speaker 1: you need is to go and get the application, you
17:10
Speaker 1: bring it, you sign it, have two witnesses like they're
17:13
Speaker 1: just close friends sign it in some cases, and then
17:16
Speaker 1: you have your actual efficiant Chris Harrison or whoever we
17:19
Speaker 1: have officiating our wedding, go and submit it. Do they
17:23
Speaker 1: have to submit it or can we submit it? Yeah?
17:25
Speaker 1: You submit it. You mailed it. And there's a thing
17:28
Speaker 1: like with out of the country weddings where you need
17:30
Speaker 1: to get married first. I want to do that, Like, yeah,
17:35
Speaker 1: you just go and get literally married first, and then
17:36
Speaker 1: like you have like the ceremony in the celebration. Yeah,
17:39
Speaker 1: so it's fun, it's super easy, and it was. It
17:43
Speaker 1: was wild honestly because it's really you do it before
17:45
Speaker 1: the ceremony. So it's like, who do we like at
17:52
Speaker 1: the aisle you are married, And I want that too.
17:54
Speaker 1: I don't want to like have the ceremony and then
17:57
Speaker 1: have to deal with the paperwork like I want to
17:59
Speaker 1: at the end of the day be like, no, we
18:00
Speaker 1: are married at all capacities of the word. Yeah, you
18:04
Speaker 1: know what I'm going to tell you, Like at that
18:05
Speaker 1: when you go to bed that night, you were going
18:07
Speaker 1: to sleep like a rock. You're like, we did it.
18:11
Speaker 1: It's over, we made it, and we're still together. The
18:16
Speaker 1: magazine spread, you said something like you stayed up super
18:20
Speaker 1: late that night. I was like, I'm pretty sure we
18:21
Speaker 1: left at twelve and you went to bed. Did you
18:23
Speaker 1: stay up? So we get back to our room and
18:25
Speaker 1: there were people there was staff in our room coordinating
18:29
Speaker 1: luggage for like our guests, like our bridal party, and
18:32
Speaker 1: I was like, um, we're husband and wife like and
18:34
Speaker 1: you're in the bridles, we can you like? And they
18:38
Speaker 1: stay there for like forty five minutes, and that part
18:40
Speaker 1: I was like getting I was pretty nice until I
18:43
Speaker 1: was a little like, gotta go girl to go wedding
18:48
Speaker 1: night over here before we wrap up with Crystal. I
18:52
Speaker 1: think a lot of people are gonna be like, wait
18:53
Speaker 1: a second, how did your family and friends not have
18:55
Speaker 1: hotel rooms and flights ten days to the wedding. That's
18:58
Speaker 1: how they do things on The Bachelor, a little insider knowledge.
19:02
Speaker 1: Even people who go to Paradise like they don't get
19:05
Speaker 1: their their flight into like five to seven days before
19:08
Speaker 1: they leave. So are yeah, you you just honestly, you
19:12
Speaker 1: just have to know if anyone listening ever wants to
19:15
Speaker 1: go on The Bachelor, um or the Bachelorette, just know
19:19
Speaker 1: that you have to fully let go and just roll
19:22
Speaker 1: with it and that was really interesting to see because
19:25
Speaker 1: we're used to it being in that environment, but for
19:27
Speaker 1: our family and friends for them to be like, what
19:29
Speaker 1: do you mean we don't have hotel? What do you
19:31
Speaker 1: mean you can't tell me where we where we're staying
19:33
Speaker 1: or what my flight is because they couldn't like let
19:36
Speaker 1: that information out too early because I didn't want press
19:38
Speaker 1: to come and find it. Um, that was really an
19:42
Speaker 1: interesting listen for them to like so funny, I know,
19:45
Speaker 1: and you're like trying to reassure them, I think, like,
19:48
Speaker 1: what's gonna It's like there's certain things that we're probably
19:51
Speaker 1: doing because it's more like a more of a press
19:54
Speaker 1: oriented type of wetting them and they would obviously ever
19:56
Speaker 1: be used to and they're like, I think it's really
19:59
Speaker 1: crazy that like we're getting our dresses like two or
20:02
Speaker 1: three weeks before the ceremony, and I'm like, I know
20:05
Speaker 1: that's just how it's gonna go. And that they had
20:08
Speaker 1: that long. My people got it like the day before
20:13
Speaker 1: they left, because I had bride's men. I had like
20:16
Speaker 1: three guys and girls, and so I've got like the
20:18
Speaker 1: day before they flew out, they got the talks. It's
20:22
Speaker 1: like crazy, it's such a fun wild ride and you know,
20:27
Speaker 1: like looking back, it's a it's an adventure and nothing
20:30
Speaker 1: that's always signed up for. Alright, Chryst, Well, thank you
20:33
Speaker 1: for joining us and telling us like really so many
20:36
Speaker 1: little like exclusive titbits about the wedding. Really really appreciate it.
20:40
Speaker 1: Thanks for being here in Tahoe with us, and thanks
20:44
Speaker 1: for supporting our love for protein one as a health nut.
20:47
Speaker 1: I feel like you're gonna take a couple of these
20:49
Speaker 1: bots that peanut butter one right now. They're basically tastes
20:53
Speaker 1: like chocolate bars, but they give you protein and they're
20:55
Speaker 1: good for you and energy. Done all right? Now, up next,
21:00
Speaker 1: we have Caitlin and and Antlie. Are they gonna go
21:05
Speaker 1: on together? Yeah, we're gonna have Kaylin and Antalist come
21:07
Speaker 1: on together. But before we get them on, let's take
21:10
Speaker 1: a quick break. All right, and we're back with Analis
21:15
Speaker 1: and Kaylin, two members of the original cast of Paradise season?
21:19
Speaker 1: Are we six? Six? Okay? Ever, I was gonna say seven.
21:23
Speaker 1: I was going to have like a mind free uh
21:27
Speaker 1: an confused? I think it's six. Yeah. Four was the
21:30
Speaker 1: one that I got the whole controversy that was the
21:35
Speaker 1: end season and then there was last season, which was
21:37
Speaker 1: like the Colton Tia triangle. Now there's your season. Um, okay,
21:41
Speaker 1: So before we go on, I know a lot of
21:43
Speaker 1: people are going to be like, actually, you and Ben
21:45
Speaker 1: were so critical of Klin before like last season, and
21:48
Speaker 1: I don't want to like address anything on the podcast.
21:51
Speaker 1: I just wanna tell you guys like Kayla and I
21:52
Speaker 1: have had a talk and we're friendly now, and I
21:56
Speaker 1: was I was basically just if it was like, you know,
21:59
Speaker 1: a lot of it is us having to watch as
22:01
Speaker 1: fans and say, we'd have to say, for a fans
22:02
Speaker 1: point of you, I have no I don't know her
22:05
Speaker 1: in real life. I met her for the second time
22:08
Speaker 1: ever a couple of weeks ago, and it has had
22:11
Speaker 1: a little you know, a little off the mic chat
22:14
Speaker 1: and I'm going to get to know Calin more this weekend.
22:16
Speaker 1: It's excited about and everybody is saying like the greatest
22:21
Speaker 1: things about her, especially in the past month or so.
22:23
Speaker 1: So I was thinking about that, and it makes sense
22:26
Speaker 1: like you're looking at it from a fan's perspective and
22:29
Speaker 1: you you don't know us, So it's like I wasn't
22:31
Speaker 1: perceived the best way on my season, and I wasn't
22:33
Speaker 1: my best self, so like it makes perfect sense. Well,
22:36
Speaker 1: thank you. Yeah, I know it's really hard. There's a
22:38
Speaker 1: lot of people. It's like just from like writing my
22:41
Speaker 1: recaps and being on this podcast. It's like if we don't,
22:43
Speaker 1: if we're totally uncritical, then we're gonna get like then
22:46
Speaker 1: we're gonna be the most born people ever to talk about.
22:48
Speaker 1: And then people are gonna be like, this is not
22:50
Speaker 1: relatable because we're watching the show and we're criticizing at home.
22:54
Speaker 1: But it's kind of cool too because you're getting you
22:56
Speaker 1: you're like a voice to people who are also seeing
23:00
Speaker 1: maybe Kylin and going like, oh, we don't like her,
23:02
Speaker 1: and then you are going to get to know her
23:04
Speaker 1: and you know, have your opinions changed too, So it's
23:06
Speaker 1: kind of it's interesting, like that's why I was with Crystal,
23:08
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, I think everybody looks at Crystal um
23:11
Speaker 1: and then I'm PARTI became great friends, so it's like
23:13
Speaker 1: it's it's it's just also it's like showing that you
23:16
Speaker 1: should get to know people and not and you know,
23:19
Speaker 1: we all we're all going to judge each other on
23:21
Speaker 1: the show watching it, but then once you get to
23:22
Speaker 1: know people, you get to know the full full side
23:25
Speaker 1: of them. Yeah, I want more to us. I can't
23:27
Speaker 1: go into full detail, but my opinion has already changed
23:30
Speaker 1: so much from the one that the show developed for me. Um,
23:35
Speaker 1: but I mean I've a little talk about that some
23:37
Speaker 1: other times. Once Bachelor in Parasite Paradise starts airing. But
23:42
Speaker 1: let's talk about well, let's talk a little bit about Paradise,
23:46
Speaker 1: but not get into explicit details. Explicit is that it's
23:50
Speaker 1: explicit because it's that a word like a sex word,
23:52
Speaker 1: or is that it can keeping out of your sex
23:56
Speaker 1: I heard you say that, no idea how much sex
23:59
Speaker 1: is podcast. I'm so tired of the word. It's always
24:02
Speaker 1: felt uncomfortable me to say, you know. But anyway, so
24:06
Speaker 1: let's not talk about it. Um, let's go one by
24:10
Speaker 1: one as to why Kylen's start with you, Why did
24:13
Speaker 1: you choose to do Paradise, especially after having a rougher
24:17
Speaker 1: edit on the right. I think that had a lot
24:21
Speaker 1: to do with it, Like, I'm so one of the reasons.
24:23
Speaker 1: I'm the only single person in my friend group, So
24:25
Speaker 1: I was like, if I go in Paradise, there's hopefully
24:27
Speaker 1: I'll walk away with someone. But then I was also like,
24:30
Speaker 1: I wasn't myself on my season. I was I don't know,
24:34
Speaker 1: I just I had a good time. But the way
24:37
Speaker 1: I won't even blame it on editing, the way I
24:38
Speaker 1: was like wasn't myself. So I was like, if I
24:40
Speaker 1: go to Paradise and I'm just completely myself, people can
24:44
Speaker 1: hate me, but hate me for actually knowing me, and
24:46
Speaker 1: I would feel a lot better about that. Okay, well
24:48
Speaker 1: that's great. I think that. So. I think Paradise is
24:52
Speaker 1: usually the perfect way for people to, like for the
24:56
Speaker 1: audience to get to know the real person, because it's
25:00
Speaker 1: less of a chopped down version. On The Bachelor, they
25:02
Speaker 1: have to show the personalities of twenty girls. On Paradise,
25:06
Speaker 1: you're showing a lot, You're you're showing quite a bit
25:08
Speaker 1: of storylines, but you're focusing a lot more on people's
25:11
Speaker 1: true personalities. I was completely people. People were critical of
25:17
Speaker 1: me on every season of mine, but I think they
25:21
Speaker 1: started to like understand me and relate to me and
25:24
Speaker 1: like have more of like a sympathetic bone for me
25:27
Speaker 1: starting in Paradise. And I think that's definitely gonna happen
25:30
Speaker 1: with you. What do you Why do you come back
25:34
Speaker 1: after literally having the worst experience last year. Yeah, I
25:38
Speaker 1: mean it wasn't It wasn't like a real quick decision,
25:42
Speaker 1: you know. I had to think about it um a bit,
25:45
Speaker 1: and I sort of it came down to I was single,
25:48
Speaker 1: and I it's sort of worked for me last year,
25:52
Speaker 1: and so I was like, well, if it could, you know,
25:55
Speaker 1: I see Chris and Crystal, I see all these other
25:57
Speaker 1: relationships that are successful. I'm like, I kind of I
26:00
Speaker 1: got close, you know, like it just wasn't the right person,
26:03
Speaker 1: So why couldn't it work this time? So that's that's
26:06
Speaker 1: sort of where in my head was that. Have you
26:08
Speaker 1: heard from what's his name? And I'm going to call
26:09
Speaker 1: him what's name? His name? Because I truly forget his name. Uh.
26:13
Speaker 1: We have not in a long time now, what's uh
26:19
Speaker 1: the last time we had any sort of exchange I
26:22
Speaker 1: think was back in December something or younger. Yeah, it's
26:26
Speaker 1: been a while without giving anything away. Are you happy
26:30
Speaker 1: you did again? Uh? Yeah? I think so? Yeah. Okay,
26:35
Speaker 1: I'm I'm really happy. Okay. Great in life, it's amazing. Yeah,
26:40
Speaker 1: so good. Um, let's talk about like where your lives
26:43
Speaker 1: are outside of the Bachelor franchise, Caitlin, you are living
26:46
Speaker 1: in the same complex as Cassie in l A. How's
26:52
Speaker 1: that been, Like your your roommates but not roommates, which
26:54
Speaker 1: is literally the perfect thing you could do. Like, my
26:57
Speaker 1: sister just moved out of our house and that was
27:00
Speaker 1: a big step for us. She was living where like
27:01
Speaker 1: living threes company style for an entire year, and you know,
27:05
Speaker 1: like Jared loves to say that he was like absolutely
27:07
Speaker 1: fine with it, but he was definitely ready for her
27:10
Speaker 1: to like feel more like a couples living situation. But
27:14
Speaker 1: she moved a mile down the street, which is perfect
27:16
Speaker 1: for me. And that's kind of how it is with Cassie. Yeah,
27:19
Speaker 1: So like I don't have to deal with the awkwardness
27:21
Speaker 1: of like maybe like Colton being there all the time,
27:24
Speaker 1: but like I get to choose when I go downstairs
27:26
Speaker 1: as she comes upstairs. Like it's good, it's fun. I
27:28
Speaker 1: I enjoy it. Colton kind of steals her away a lot,
27:31
Speaker 1: so I don't really get to see her that often. Um,
27:33
Speaker 1: but it's fun. That's awesome. Um. Okay, So how has
27:37
Speaker 1: it been being that third wheel over the past couple
27:41
Speaker 1: of months before Paradise? Um? Before Paradise it so I
27:47
Speaker 1: was pretty like chill about it, and Colton it took
27:50
Speaker 1: him a longer time to warm up to the idea
27:51
Speaker 1: that was going to say. He must have felt like, Okay,
27:53
Speaker 1: I like kiss this girl a lot. Yeah, and I'm
27:56
Speaker 1: kissing my my girl, my very serious girlfriend in front
28:00
Speaker 1: of right. He had that conversation. He's like, well, I've
28:02
Speaker 1: made out with her, and I'm like yeah, but like
28:04
Speaker 1: we're just friends. Like as soon as I went off
28:05
Speaker 1: the show and I found out I was, Cassie like
28:07
Speaker 1: flipped a switch and I was like, I'm not attracted
28:09
Speaker 1: to you, and like you're just a friend to me.
28:11
Speaker 1: So it took him some time, Like and also he
28:13
Speaker 1: wants to be respectful of Cassie and their relationships. So
28:16
Speaker 1: I get it. But now it's like smooth sailing friends.
28:19
Speaker 1: It's great. Okay, So there was a little awkward bumping there. Yeah.
28:22
Speaker 1: I always said, I was like, there's no awkwardness, but
28:24
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, no, no, there was some awkwardness for
28:25
Speaker 1: a couple of months. There's definitely awkwardness when you interact
28:29
Speaker 1: with your bachelor for the first couple of times after
28:31
Speaker 1: being off the show. I think it's something you never
28:33
Speaker 1: think you're gonna have to, like see him again, You're like, oh,
28:35
Speaker 1: they're in a different category, Like they don't they're not
28:38
Speaker 1: going to mingle with us like cast members anymore. And
28:41
Speaker 1: then the first couple of times, you're like, Hi, it's
28:44
Speaker 1: like really good to see you. Like, I don't even
28:46
Speaker 1: know if I really know you, ever talked to you.
28:49
Speaker 1: Was on camera for like seven minutes, like seven minutes
28:53
Speaker 1: every couple of days. Yeah, it's really funny. But yeah,
28:57
Speaker 1: I mean if you're best friends with his girlfriend, then
29:00
Speaker 1: you're going to have to make that hurdle. Yeah, you
29:02
Speaker 1: have to make it work. How is it seeing Ari
29:05
Speaker 1: the first couple of times off camera, I haven't really
29:08
Speaker 1: seen him very much. Yeah, so I don't I don't know.
29:10
Speaker 1: I think it would be totally fine, Like because we
29:12
Speaker 1: never even kissed. I feel like, like you said, I
29:15
Speaker 1: don't know him, so it would be I think it'd
29:18
Speaker 1: be fine that you guys haven't even kissed. Yeah, he
29:22
Speaker 1: was just like some guy that he was like always
29:24
Speaker 1: hanging around with, like on our Girls trip. Alright, who
29:30
Speaker 1: who are you both looking forward to seeing in Paradise?
29:33
Speaker 1: Who are you hoping to be in Paradise? Who's on
29:35
Speaker 1: that list for you? Guys? Name like three. So I
29:37
Speaker 1: actually didn't have a list going in this time. Well
29:42
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why, because last year I went in,
29:45
Speaker 1: I wanted Camille to be there and I was excited
29:48
Speaker 1: about seeing him, and so this year I was like,
29:50
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not even gonna I want to meet people,
29:55
Speaker 1: just fresh, like not have any judgments about people, not
29:58
Speaker 1: have um, not be holding out for somebody to walked
30:00
Speaker 1: down the stairs, like I'm gonna go in, who's there,
30:02
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give chances to and like very mature. I
30:06
Speaker 1: just I went into it so differently this year. My
30:09
Speaker 1: headspace was completely different. So I just didn't really have
30:13
Speaker 1: There was people that I was like, oh, yeah, they
30:14
Speaker 1: could be interesting, but there was nobody that I went
30:17
Speaker 1: in with intent intent. Yeah. I was the opposite. That's
30:23
Speaker 1: I've always been. I'm like that one or that one
30:25
Speaker 1: or no one. No, seriously, That's how I was. I
30:28
Speaker 1: was like Connor s or no one and um. But
30:31
Speaker 1: also I was like I was so intent on dating Connor,
30:35
Speaker 1: but I was like, I'm such a personality person I
30:37
Speaker 1: don't know this guy's personality. He didn't get a ton
30:39
Speaker 1: of air time on hand of season, so I'm like,
30:41
Speaker 1: we could mess really well, or we couldn't. So I
30:43
Speaker 1: didn't want to put all my weight in there, and
30:46
Speaker 1: maybe I did, maybe I didn't, but I don't think
30:48
Speaker 1: that was the best approach. Okay, So normally, I know
30:52
Speaker 1: we've mentioned this on the podcast before, but I want
30:53
Speaker 1: to remind you listeners out there that with Paradise, normally
30:57
Speaker 1: the cast only gets to see a couple episodes of
31:00
Speaker 1: the current Bachelorette season before going in. For mine, I
31:03
Speaker 1: was able to see two episodes. I think for you guys,
31:05
Speaker 1: you may have been able to see three three episodes,
31:08
Speaker 1: so you got to see Connors one on one, and
31:10
Speaker 1: he must have he must have left an impression with
31:12
Speaker 1: you there. Yeah. I thought he was really cute and
31:14
Speaker 1: sweet and thoughtful, and I was like, I really think
31:16
Speaker 1: I could get along with this guy. And then Colton
31:18
Speaker 1: put in my ear too. He was like, I think
31:20
Speaker 1: you and Connor would mesh really well together, and multiple
31:23
Speaker 1: people kept saying it, so I was like, all right,
31:25
Speaker 1: it's Connor, no one. That's kind of how I went
31:27
Speaker 1: into it. Okay. In the original cast, who surprised Who
31:33
Speaker 1: was a surprise for you guys to see there? Who
31:36
Speaker 1: did you not expect to see there? Who was there?
31:38
Speaker 1: Chris Pakowski freaking fatastic answer. I think he Uh, that
31:44
Speaker 1: was surprising to everyone considering he retired from the Bachelor
31:48
Speaker 1: franchise about three or four years ago. Yeah. I was
31:51
Speaker 1: surprised to see Wills there. Yeah. I was too, Yeah,
31:55
Speaker 1: because I was on Paradise with him last summer and
31:58
Speaker 1: I was surprised he was back. And then I'm also
32:00
Speaker 1: really good friends with him, so I was like, what
32:03
Speaker 1: you're here? Yeah, that was so it was interesting because
32:07
Speaker 1: I think he kind of went a little m i
32:08
Speaker 1: A from the Bachelor franchise over the past. That's the thing.
32:11
Speaker 1: I thought he was kind of done with it, Like
32:12
Speaker 1: I didn't think even if they asked him, I thought
32:14
Speaker 1: he wasn't really going back. But there he was. There
32:17
Speaker 1: was one time we tried to get him on the podcast.
32:19
Speaker 1: I think it was so I think it's like the
32:21
Speaker 1: fall time, and he went totally m I A. He
32:23
Speaker 1: was actually not just from our text, but he wasn't
32:26
Speaker 1: posting anything on social media and people were genuinely getting concerned,
32:30
Speaker 1: Like there was like message boards like where Wills go? Okay, Yeah,
32:36
Speaker 1: there was. I mean there was a couple of surprises.
32:38
Speaker 1: There's like obviously the people that came from the most
32:41
Speaker 1: current season. You you expect to see some of those
32:43
Speaker 1: like fan favorite people, but then there was definitely people there.
32:46
Speaker 1: The older people from previous seasons were almost all a surprise,
32:50
Speaker 1: Like Derek was a surprise. I can't even remember Derek
32:53
Speaker 1: who said on this very podcast about five or six
32:57
Speaker 1: weeks before leaving for Paradise that he is not at
33:01
Speaker 1: all gonna do it when certain and we have it
33:03
Speaker 1: on tape. That's great. I'm glad that we have the
33:08
Speaker 1: scoop on that. I think what's weird for our season, though,
33:10
Speaker 1: is that we only had like what four or five
33:12
Speaker 1: from Hannah season for original cast, Like it was mostly
33:15
Speaker 1: older cast members. That is true, I feel like there
33:18
Speaker 1: was a lot of people missing from Hannah's season. Yeah,
33:22
Speaker 1: it was a random group of Hannah's guys. When I
33:24
Speaker 1: went back and I was watching Hannah season, I was like,
33:27
Speaker 1: did he end up going? Did he? And I actually
33:30
Speaker 1: am like pretty pretty spoiler free, And there's some guys
33:34
Speaker 1: I'm still not sure if they ever showed up or not.
33:36
Speaker 1: Maybe they made like little blips, little appearances of the
33:40
Speaker 1: original cast because we can't reveal any other names. Who
33:44
Speaker 1: did you form like the closest friendships with Kalen like
33:49
Speaker 1: girls or guys. Girls and guys, um, I think girls
33:52
Speaker 1: as a whole. We were all really close, Like it was.
33:55
Speaker 1: It was just such a great group of girls in
33:57
Speaker 1: terms of original cast, Like we just had so much
33:59
Speaker 1: fun together. And guys it was kind of the same,
34:01
Speaker 1: I think. I yeah, I was close with pretty much
34:05
Speaker 1: all of the guys too. It was it was just
34:07
Speaker 1: such a unique group, Like I was so pleased with it.
34:09
Speaker 1: So I remember talking to some of the girls from
34:12
Speaker 1: the Paradise cast and they were like, Kaylin has been
34:15
Speaker 1: like just totally involved with everybody in front of everybody,
34:18
Speaker 1: which was such a different contrast to when you're on
34:22
Speaker 1: Colton season. Just like you and Cassie like kind of
34:25
Speaker 1: buddied up, did you did you like the experience of
34:27
Speaker 1: kind of like yeah, I think Cassie and I we
34:29
Speaker 1: didn't mean to be clickie, but we were just so
34:31
Speaker 1: close that we kind of closed ourselves off from everyone else.
34:34
Speaker 1: And this time I just friends with everyone. It was
34:36
Speaker 1: like it was so much fun. I did the exact
34:38
Speaker 1: same thing my first season of Paradise. For the first
34:40
Speaker 1: four days, my sister was there, and people were like
34:43
Speaker 1: actually seems like really nice and cool, but we don't
34:45
Speaker 1: really know her because she and her sister are totally
34:47
Speaker 1: inseparable and she's like always having to console her and
34:49
Speaker 1: they're always like having like sister language talks. That's exactly
34:53
Speaker 1: how we were. Yes, I understand. Yeah, not the best,
34:57
Speaker 1: but it's okay. I mean, and sometimes you have to
35:00
Speaker 1: force yourself out of a situation, like when my sister
35:02
Speaker 1: left and I was like, okay, yeah, I'm like I
35:05
Speaker 1: can be sociable now. It's totally different. It's a comfort
35:07
Speaker 1: zone thing. Um and Atlas, who is there anybody from
35:10
Speaker 1: this season that you've really clicked with? Uh? I would
35:14
Speaker 1: say probably Klin and Katie were, um two of the
35:18
Speaker 1: girls that I didn't know, well, I didn't know you
35:21
Speaker 1: at all before. Um uh yeah. I just everyone was
35:26
Speaker 1: so nice, like the original cast, those first couple of
35:29
Speaker 1: days felt very, very smooth, until until they didn't. Yeah.
35:37
Speaker 1: When that, guys, just prepare yourself. Which where is she?
35:45
Speaker 1: She's here too? Yeah? She? I was like, I don't
35:48
Speaker 1: think you know what you're getting into. I was like,
35:50
Speaker 1: the Bachelor is like sorority fun time, and Bachelor in
35:55
Speaker 1: Paradise is like the is an emotional war zone, but
35:59
Speaker 1: you're also in it just all the time. Like you
36:01
Speaker 1: never get a break ever in Paradise because you know,
36:06
Speaker 1: you get to like not be on dates. You get
36:07
Speaker 1: to lie outside and tan and cooked meals and like
36:11
Speaker 1: all that stuff, like go take naps and in Paradise, yeah,
36:15
Speaker 1: the camera is like on a nap, there's a camera.
36:20
Speaker 1: Probably it's going to get there. It's crazy. John Paul
36:25
Speaker 1: Jones is part of the original cast, and I know
36:27
Speaker 1: that he's a favorite amongst like everyone. Can we explain
36:31
Speaker 1: his personality beyond what we may have seen the little
36:34
Speaker 1: bits that we saw in Hannah season. He is one
36:37
Speaker 1: of my favorite people in this world. So Dylan is
36:40
Speaker 1: probably my closest guy friend. But John Paul Jones is
36:43
Speaker 1: just like he his edit did not do him justice.
36:46
Speaker 1: He is so funny, but he's so smart. Everybody keeps
36:49
Speaker 1: talking about he is so smart. I was like blown away.
36:51
Speaker 1: I was like, who are you? I did not know.
36:53
Speaker 1: But he's just He's also very rebellious and he kind
36:55
Speaker 1: of inspired me to be rebellious. Um, he's just I
36:59
Speaker 1: don't know. I love and it's like fully him all
37:03
Speaker 1: the time, like none of it's an act. I think
37:05
Speaker 1: that's where I sometimes in the Bachelor world, like you
37:07
Speaker 1: meet people and you're like, oh, they just know how
37:09
Speaker 1: to turn it on, you know, and um, it's not.
37:12
Speaker 1: It's just him the whole time. That's his personality. He
37:14
Speaker 1: just reminds me of like a nineties like the double
37:18
Speaker 1: popped collar. He's like, he feels like such like a
37:21
Speaker 1: surfer brother. Yeah, he's like a surfer bro, but then
37:23
Speaker 1: has that preppy side where it's like, I'm so confused
37:26
Speaker 1: the fact that he sounds like he just got off
37:28
Speaker 1: the surf, but he grew up in Minnesota, in Maryland,
37:32
Speaker 1: he's the same way. He's got that surfer bro. Yeah,
37:35
Speaker 1: where is he from? I think it's like the same
37:38
Speaker 1: sort of Connor from Texas, Michigan, Michigan. Okay, yeah, it
37:44
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. No, all right? Is there any teasers
37:48
Speaker 1: you can give us for the Paradise season why people
37:51
Speaker 1: should watch? Not that they ever need a reason, because
37:53
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty much everybody, every Bachelor Nation hardcore
37:56
Speaker 1: fan their favorite part of the year's Paradise. Now, everybody
37:59
Speaker 1: watches the other shows so they can get fair, right,
38:02
Speaker 1: But what is like one little teaser that each of
38:05
Speaker 1: you can give us before we let you go. So
38:08
Speaker 1: I I know this is like a Chris Harrison saying,
38:11
Speaker 1: but it definitely will be. I think it's going to
38:13
Speaker 1: be the most crazy and epic season. Just so much happens.
38:18
Speaker 1: Like I thought a lot happened last year, so much
38:21
Speaker 1: more happens this year because last season was fanned. It's
38:26
Speaker 1: gonna be nutty, Like I don't even know how they're
38:28
Speaker 1: going to put it into. However many episodes they have,
38:31
Speaker 1: like they need to order more episodes because there's so
38:34
Speaker 1: much stuff that happens. I don't think anybody except for
38:37
Speaker 1: Dancing with the Stars would refuse that. Um yeah, it's
38:45
Speaker 1: it's drama filled. There's lots of tears, very minimal laughter.
38:54
Speaker 1: Except for the first three days, everybody it really was
38:59
Speaker 1: like the day after like that those first couple of
39:02
Speaker 1: people that like crawl down the stairs, and then like
39:04
Speaker 1: somebody takes a date from somebody. That's when it always starts,
39:08
Speaker 1: because the first two days it's like the original casts,
39:10
Speaker 1: like everyone's friends and everyone's like sort of flirting but
39:14
Speaker 1: like feeling it out still, and then all of a sudden,
39:16
Speaker 1: it's like war zone. I haven't heard anything about Demi yet.
39:21
Speaker 1: From you guys. I feel like everybody's expecting Demi to
39:25
Speaker 1: bring the drama. Is there anything I think you can
39:29
Speaker 1: tease their? Demi brings good comic relief when it's needed.
39:35
Speaker 1: She is so witty and so smart. My gosh, you
39:41
Speaker 1: know she's so quick. I'm like, can you have your
39:43
Speaker 1: brain for like even ten minutes? I would love to
39:45
Speaker 1: know what it would be like to think like that.
39:47
Speaker 1: Watching her at Women Tell All, I was like, this
39:49
Speaker 1: is so unfortunate that I can't think like that, And
39:51
Speaker 1: I could never respond in an argument like no, I
39:54
Speaker 1: know she's like a person I would never want to
39:56
Speaker 1: get an argument. I feel like she would just have
39:58
Speaker 1: too many things to say. So I read this that
40:00
Speaker 1: made me feel like a lot better about that. They
40:02
Speaker 1: say that your intelligence isn't based on whether or not
40:05
Speaker 1: you can come up with things quickly, but if you
40:07
Speaker 1: can come up with them, like in general. So like,
40:09
Speaker 1: if you're somebody who can quickly banter back in an argument,
40:12
Speaker 1: that doesn't necessarily mean that you're smarter than somebody who
40:15
Speaker 1: can write a thesis about it, like after thinking and
40:17
Speaker 1: formulating those feelings. So I was like, okay, great, because
40:20
Speaker 1: I can write, but I can't does I will say
40:25
Speaker 1: too about Demi, Um, if I can tease this, you know,
40:30
Speaker 1: we've only seen one side of Demi, and it's like
40:32
Speaker 1: her quick wit side and her funny side and her
40:34
Speaker 1: feisty side. And I think we're gonna see a whole
40:37
Speaker 1: another side of Demi. And I grew to love and
40:39
Speaker 1: appreciate Demi so much more on this season too. And
40:42
Speaker 1: I would be um shamed as a host if I
40:46
Speaker 1: didn't bring up the reports of who you may be
40:50
Speaker 1: dating Kalin, because some entertainment outlets did report that. So
40:55
Speaker 1: I'll let you be as veigue as possible if you'd like,
40:59
Speaker 1: or as detailed does possible, But I need you to
41:01
Speaker 1: answer that Um Paradise was great. It was It was
41:07
Speaker 1: horrible and great at the same time. And whether or
41:10
Speaker 1: not I'm in a relationship or not, you will just
41:12
