0:10
Speaker 1: we're back now with almost in as podcast. Would you
0:14
Speaker 1: like to reveal where you were last week? I would. Yeah.
0:17
Speaker 1: There's a lot of articles getting ready get out there,
0:19
Speaker 1: not getting ready there already out there thinking that we
0:21
Speaker 1: filmed Bachelor in Paradise last week. In fact, that was
0:24
Speaker 1: not the case at all. I was celebrating my bachelor party,
0:28
Speaker 1: and uh I did it alongside a few of my friends,
0:31
Speaker 1: some of which were from The Bachelor. Your husband was
0:34
Speaker 1: there for a period of time. There was Nick, and
0:38
Speaker 1: there was Dean, and there was Wells and there was Blake.
0:40
Speaker 1: Those are are some people that just mean a ton
0:43
Speaker 1: to me as real friends in life. We got, you know,
0:46
Speaker 1: it's really great that it worked out because everybody that
0:51
Speaker 1: was in like that was able to go, was able
0:53
Speaker 1: to get a vaccine ahead of time. We got two
0:56
Speaker 1: separate houses. We did a boat cruise, we played off
1:00
Speaker 1: one day. One day, we hung by the pool. Um.
1:04
Speaker 1: It was it was a really uh special time for me,
1:07
Speaker 1: and this is how I wanted to do it. Actually,
1:09
Speaker 1: like if I had it my way, my bachelor party
1:12
Speaker 1: would have been like on a river, kind of fishing,
1:16
Speaker 1: sitting outside, just kind of hanging out, getting good good
1:19
Speaker 1: night's sleep, waking up early. But I really wanted some
1:22
Speaker 1: of these people to know just how much they meant
1:24
Speaker 1: to me. And so it meant a lot that I
1:26
Speaker 1: was able to get this many people together, able to
1:27
Speaker 1: get them uh down to Cabo, and even though we
1:31
Speaker 1: had to stay separate, we were together so often, and
1:33
Speaker 1: I just wanted them to know that, hey, they've had
1:36
Speaker 1: a part of my life. I wanted them there to
1:39
Speaker 1: be celebrated alongside of me, and that I was lucky
1:42
Speaker 1: to be able to share this life with him. If
1:43
Speaker 1: my voice sounds be it is because I didn't stop
1:46
Speaker 1: talking for like the last six days, and I am
1:50
Speaker 1: so tired of talking. But I am excited to be here.
1:52
Speaker 1: I missed you last week. Um, but it was incredible. Uh.
1:56
Speaker 1: Great weather, Uh, great beaches and uh and and a
2:00
Speaker 1: lot of memories made. What was your favorite part if
2:02
Speaker 1: you had to choose one. If I had to choose one, yeah,
2:04
Speaker 1: my favorite part. You know there's a couple. Um, my
2:07
Speaker 1: dad unfortunately wasn't able to go, so my dad was
2:09
Speaker 1: supposed to go down with me. Yeah, he's my best man.
2:13
Speaker 1: And um, about a week and a half ago, he
2:16
Speaker 1: had another heart surgery. He was feeling super sick um
2:19
Speaker 1: when I was home last for my grandpa's funeral, and uh,
2:23
Speaker 1: he ended up going to the doctor, going to the
2:25
Speaker 1: emergency room. They found nine blockage in his arteries and
2:28
Speaker 1: so yeah, so he had another heart surgery and so
2:32
Speaker 1: he wasn't able to go. But my favorite, he made
2:33
Speaker 1: a toast. He videoed a toast uh for the dinner
2:37
Speaker 1: um to me and it was just super special and
2:39
Speaker 1: then be able to be I mean, so that was
2:41
Speaker 1: one special one. With the other one I would say
2:43
Speaker 1: was we took a boat cruise around Cabo Um. It
2:48
Speaker 1: was great. We like kind of parked the boat and
2:49
Speaker 1: swam and we tried to do as much stuff as
2:51
Speaker 1: we could outside as possible. And this was an amazing
2:54
Speaker 1: thing to do because we're in the ocean, we're simming
2:55
Speaker 1: around and it had everybody like on this beach kind
3:00
Speaker 1: of like you know, people from twenty five years old
3:03
Speaker 1: to thirty well to you know, forty forty five years old,
3:07
Speaker 1: I guess, and everybody was like climbing the rocks and
3:10
Speaker 1: like building sand castles and just like run around tackling
3:13
Speaker 1: each other into the water. And it was like, I
3:15
Speaker 1: don't know, it's just awesome to see these buddies of
3:18
Speaker 1: mine who I've done that with my whole life, doing
3:20
Speaker 1: that as husbands and fathers and adults. Um. And then
3:24
Speaker 1: it was cool actually honestly, at one point, Um, one
3:28
Speaker 1: of my longest friends was standing There's like, how crazy
3:31
Speaker 1: has this been? He goes, look at your like, look
3:32
Speaker 1: at who's here. So it was like, my my longest
3:34
Speaker 1: friend was there since I've known since I was four.
3:37
Speaker 1: Then you get my high school friends and my college friends,
3:40
Speaker 1: and then you have my friends that I've made from
3:42
Speaker 1: my like days at Tallysis, which is a software company,
3:45
Speaker 1: and then you have my bachelor friends and the people
3:48
Speaker 1: I've met along the way there. So you have all
3:49
Speaker 1: these people from different like seasons of my life in
3:52
Speaker 1: one place meeting each other for the first time, a
3:54
Speaker 1: lot of them, um, And for me, that was just
3:57
Speaker 1: it was sacred, it was special, and so I'm glad
3:59
Speaker 1: we got to do it. I'm glad everybody was safe. Um.
4:03
Speaker 1: You know, we all we all got the COVID test
4:05
Speaker 1: going down and come back and and we're all very safe,
4:08
Speaker 1: and that makes it good because that would have just
4:11
Speaker 1: been to you know, horrific um, And so we're all
4:15
Speaker 1: back healthy and like we all feel celebrated. It was
4:18
Speaker 1: also weird. Actually, I don't know if you felt this
4:20
Speaker 1: way makes somebody able out there might might understand. I
4:23
Speaker 1: don't know how many times you've been around people. This
4:25
Speaker 1: is one of my first experiences around like people in
4:28
Speaker 1: a while, Like face to face, I'm very socially awkward
4:31
Speaker 1: right now, like very socially awkward. It's really hard for
4:34
Speaker 1: me to like carry a conversation in person. I feel
4:38
Speaker 1: like yes and no. I had one so more social
4:42
Speaker 1: event over the past months. I had, like um, a
4:44
Speaker 1: skin care conference that went to in Arizona, And that
4:47
Speaker 1: was the first event that I attended in a whole year,
4:51
Speaker 1: over a year. And I'll say, like, even as somebody
4:54
Speaker 1: who's you know, I'm an extroverted introvert um, I usually
4:59
Speaker 1: can feel pretty comfortable like in a crowd for like
5:03
Speaker 1: two hours, right, but then like once that two out,
5:06
Speaker 1: like once two full hours hits, I kind of get
5:08
Speaker 1: itchen to leave UM. And I started to feel that
5:12
Speaker 1: a little bit sooner just more just more like, oh
5:15
Speaker 1: my god, this is socializing is so much energy. Just
5:19
Speaker 1: kind of realizing that because the only people that you've
5:22
Speaker 1: hung out with the past year have been like your
5:25
Speaker 1: very best friends to your family, and now like to
5:28
Speaker 1: even make small talk or to like catch up feels
5:32
Speaker 1: feels a little bit more exhausting. But I really think
5:34
Speaker 1: that this is me as an introvert just kind of readapting.
5:37
Speaker 1: I'm sure extroverts are like who they're thriving. Yeah. Well,
5:40
Speaker 1: and as like the country opens up, you know, we've
5:43
Speaker 1: been talking about COVID since the very beginning. I remember
5:45
Speaker 1: we had Travis storkon to talk about when you know,
5:47
Speaker 1: when it all started. But as the country opens up,
5:50
Speaker 1: like I've recognized that I have been in more social
5:52
Speaker 1: situations that I have been last year, and so I'm
5:54
Speaker 1: more tired than I happened last year. Like I'm worn out,
5:57
Speaker 1: I'm exhausted, like I've done anything different. And then I'm like, no,
6:01
Speaker 1: what it was was you sat down and looked at
6:03
Speaker 1: somebody in the eyes and talked to him for two
6:05
Speaker 1: hours about stuff, and you weren't just on zoom and
6:07
Speaker 1: you couldn't take your afternoon nap, Maybe because you're out
6:10
Speaker 1: running around like it's a it's gonna be it's a
6:13
Speaker 1: big change that's happening, you know, quickly in front of us.
6:16
Speaker 1: But yeah, so that's what we're doing. We weren't filming
6:18
Speaker 1: Bachelor in Paradise. That was a really interesting thing to think.
6:22
Speaker 1: We have to go through this theory. So Cosmopolitan wrote
6:25
Speaker 1: an article about a theory about what was going down
6:29
Speaker 1: in Cabo. They said theoretically that Wells was the bartender.
6:37
Speaker 1: He kind of was. Ben, Jared, and Dean were brought
6:41
Speaker 1: in as guides to the contestants since they're all in
6:44
Speaker 1: happy relationships, and then um Nick would be the host
6:50
Speaker 1: of the show. It's interesting, Well, that theory is wrong.
6:54
Speaker 1: Um there's there was no truth to it. It's an
6:58
Speaker 1: interesting thought. But no, we were just down there hanging
6:59
Speaker 1: out together, um, a couple of buddies, um, fishing and
7:03
Speaker 1: swimming and doing that stuff. One more thing, you you
7:07
Speaker 1: know how you had that that really cool realization that
7:10
Speaker 1: you had so many people meeting and mingling and getting
7:13
Speaker 1: along from all different walks of life, and you're like, wow,
7:16
Speaker 1: like this is a rare moment. Well, keep appreciating those
7:20
Speaker 1: rare moments because you get a couple of them leading
7:23
Speaker 1: up to your wedding, and like the wedding itself is
7:26
Speaker 1: the most amazing as far as that goes. And then
7:29
Speaker 1: when it's over, you're like, can we just do this
7:31
Speaker 1: every year? But you can't ever find an excuse for
7:35
Speaker 1: everybody to to come, you know, take all that effort.
7:39
Speaker 1: I wanted to appreciate it. That's what I'm trying to
7:40
Speaker 1: do today. I'm sitting there and I'm writing down. I
7:42
Speaker 1: just wrote down a lot of the memories from the weekend,
7:44
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, thinking through each and every man
7:47
Speaker 1: and what they've how what kind of role they've played
7:49
Speaker 1: in my life, and I do want to appreciate it.
7:51
Speaker 1: Like that's my hope from this is that I can
7:53
Speaker 1: like just be very thankful that when it happened when
7:56
Speaker 1: it did, right when everybody this wasn't six months ago,
8:00
Speaker 1: Like we're able to do this. And then, uh, the
8:03
Speaker 1: second is that like I get to share this life
8:05
Speaker 1: with these people. And yes, they're not all like me.
8:07
Speaker 1: They don't make the same decisions that I do. I
8:08
Speaker 1: don't make the same decisions they do, but they're like unique,
8:12
Speaker 1: the unique mix of personalities and belief systems and morals
8:16
Speaker 1: and values like they make me a better, more well
8:19
Speaker 1: rounded person and I've learned from that and uh so
8:23
Speaker 1: it was awesome. But we're back this week. We've got
8:25
Speaker 1: a lot going on, uh in Bachelor Nation. Uh, it's
8:29
Speaker 1: a lot to talk about. We got a new trailer,
8:32
Speaker 1: uh from this upcoming season of The Bachelorette, and it
8:35
Speaker 1: features Caitlin and Tatia. So if anybody ever doubted it,
8:38
Speaker 1: yes they were there. Yes they did play a part
8:40
Speaker 1: in this. But before we get there, Ashley, let's dive
8:44
Speaker 1: into bachelor headlines. What do you think? Let's do it.
8:48
Speaker 1: You start from the top. First headline this week is
9:00
Speaker 1: kayleb quinn reveals regrets regarding Bachelor in Paradise love triangle
9:05
Speaker 1: with Yes, my wonderful host Ashley, I, Ken Eddie, and
9:09
Speaker 1: Jared Haven. Oh yes, well how about you read the
9:11
Speaker 1: quote since it's about me, I'd feel awkward. Oh fair enough? Whatever. Well,
9:16
Speaker 1: here this is what Kayla says. Uh. She says, I
9:20
Speaker 1: regret everything. I regret it all. I mean that gave
9:24
Speaker 1: me the most anxiety in my life. And I won't lie.
9:27
Speaker 1: I went into depression after it was like not a
9:30
Speaker 1: good time. I regret most promising to Ashley that I
9:33
Speaker 1: would never date Jared. This is what Kayla Quinn says.
9:36
Speaker 1: The thirty year old who was on our season of
9:40
Speaker 1: The Bachelor, Guess My season The Bachelor Bachelor's Season twenty.
9:44
Speaker 1: She said this on Here for the Right Reasons podcast.
9:47
Speaker 1: She finishes with this, because if I never had made
9:50
Speaker 1: the promise, then we wouldn't have been in this predicament.
9:54
Speaker 1: At the same time, she did pressure me to make
9:56
Speaker 1: the promise very hard. Kaylea Quinn in with this. There
10:01
Speaker 1: is true happiness in this love story. She says. They
10:04
Speaker 1: were meant to be and you know what, to each
10:06
Speaker 1: their own, and I wish them the most happiness in
10:09
Speaker 1: their life. And so this whole thing, this triangle, this
10:15
Speaker 1: the thing that we got to watch on TV and
10:17
Speaker 1: be entertained by, has now been concluded with happiness for
10:20
Speaker 1: both Kayla and Ashley and Jared. Ashley any comments, Well,
10:25
Speaker 1: I definitely tried to gauge your interests in Jared before Paradise,
10:29
Speaker 1: and I said that it would hurt really badly if
10:32
Speaker 1: she did date him. UM. I really appreciate her statement here. UM,
10:38
Speaker 1: I'm certainly regretful and sorry for some of my behavior
10:42
Speaker 1: at that time as well. There was so much emotion
10:47
Speaker 1: and pressure that summer. It was just a painful time
10:52
Speaker 1: all around. And I'm sad to hear that she was
10:54
Speaker 1: so depressed afterward. Even it does mean a lot to
10:57
Speaker 1: me though that she said what she did this week,
11:00
Speaker 1: and I'm sorry we had to go through all that drama,
11:02
Speaker 1: and I'm truly happy that she's doing well now and
11:05
Speaker 1: that she has found her soon to be husband. Well.
11:08
Speaker 1: Kayla Quinn, in addition to all this, recalls nearly being
11:12
Speaker 1: the Bachelorette in the same interview here for the right reasons,
11:16
Speaker 1: she says, I tried on the dresses Jojo Fletcher ended
11:19
Speaker 1: up wearing this according to us, Yeah, so I don't
11:25
Speaker 1: love you guys knew, but Kayla was in the running
11:28
Speaker 1: for that season of the Bachelorette, and she said that
11:31
Speaker 1: they went to her hometown they filmed all that stuff.
11:35
Speaker 1: She said it was kind of crazy because for six months.
11:40
Speaker 1: I don't know how that would be, but she said
11:42
Speaker 1: six months they would fly her out to La and
11:43
Speaker 1: do fittings and meetings and stuff like that, And she
11:47
Speaker 1: tried on a couple of dresses and gowns and Jojo
11:50
Speaker 1: ends up wearing them on her season, and she was like,
11:53
Speaker 1: that blue dress looks good on your girl. I tried
11:55
Speaker 1: on the same sparkly gown that sucks like that that
11:59
Speaker 1: feels were for you, you know, And she said it
12:01
Speaker 1: was a little she says it was a little bizarre.
12:04
Speaker 1: And you look and watch somebody else and you're like,
12:07
Speaker 1: that's the life that I could have lived. Um. It's
12:10
Speaker 1: the kind of like when your ex moves on and
12:13
Speaker 1: gets married. You have this moment of pause where you're like, wow,
12:15
Speaker 1: I mean I know I've moved on, but that could
12:18
Speaker 1: have been my life. So it's all sort of crazy. Well,
12:21
Speaker 1: it had to be difficult. It had to be an
12:23
Speaker 1: emotional see time for her. I mean we've seen it
12:26
Speaker 1: in the past where you know, maybe on Caitlin Bristol's
12:29
Speaker 1: season they had two bachelorettes and like one got sent
12:31
Speaker 1: home on that one that would be emotional, uh, and
12:34
Speaker 1: then with this one it definitely would be as well.
12:36
Speaker 1: I just always feel like it's got to be so
12:38
Speaker 1: hard to be like that runner up for the lead spot.
12:41
Speaker 1: It's just like I'd rather not be in the running
12:43
Speaker 1: than be the one that just missed it. Yeah, because
12:45
Speaker 1: you're kind of putting your life on hold for it. Well, uh,
12:48
Speaker 1: we have now moved on too many different seasons of
12:51
Speaker 1: The Bachelotte since then, but this season The Bachelorette is
12:54
Speaker 1: coming up. We do have the extended trailer for this
12:59
Speaker 1: season of The Achlorette that was released before we talk
13:02
Speaker 1: about uh, Tasha and Caitlin Bristow's comments on this upcoming season. Ashley,
13:07
Speaker 1: what was your take on watching the trailer? So Katie
13:11
Speaker 1: looks amazing and night when she looks so good in
13:13
Speaker 1: this red gown that she's in so much better you
13:15
Speaker 1: guys in the promos that we've talked about in the past,
13:18
Speaker 1: um and then a couple of standouts. There's a guy
13:21
Speaker 1: who shows up in a cat outfit and he says
13:24
Speaker 1: um or she goes you look perfect and he's like,
13:28
Speaker 1: you stole my pun So that's kind of cute. And
13:30
Speaker 1: then a guy walks in the door with a blow
13:33
Speaker 1: up sex toy doll um, so that I think is
13:37
Speaker 1: kind of a play on Katie showing up with a
13:39
Speaker 1: vibrator last season. Then we have two guys saying like,
13:45
Speaker 1: cheers in to not being that guy. And then we
13:50
Speaker 1: have um, we have somebody who arrives in a in
13:55
Speaker 1: a box in a present and then Katie looks astonished,
13:58
Speaker 1: she looks shocked as the top is lifted up. Anything else, Um, yeah,
14:05
Speaker 1: I mean there's like some rubdown with like the guy's
14:09
Speaker 1: shirtless and jeans with like cowboy hats on, and then
14:14
Speaker 1: we see the beautiful Tassia and Caitlin Bristow. They're guiding
14:18
Speaker 1: her along the way. Well, the other comment you made
14:21
Speaker 1: to me was just how good you thought these guys
14:24
Speaker 1: looked like You're like, these are good looking guys that
14:26
Speaker 1: are coming in. Mm hmmm, yeah, they looked really they
14:29
Speaker 1: look really good. Looks spiffy, very spiffy. Well, uh, if
14:35
Speaker 1: you haven't watched the Trilia, I'd recommend going on watching it.
14:37
Speaker 1: It's exciting, get you pumped up for this next season.
14:40
Speaker 1: But the two are we calling him host the two
14:44
Speaker 1: guides to this season, Tatia Caitlin. They have came out
14:47
Speaker 1: with comments Tassia especially. She says here Tassia Adam teases
14:50
Speaker 1: how Katie Thurston's Bachelorrette journey will differ from past seasons
14:54
Speaker 1: this according to people. Okay, yeah, so Tassia says this
14:58
Speaker 1: on her podcast this week. I like, there's definitely some
15:01
Speaker 1: things that take place in this season that I don't
15:04
Speaker 1: think have ever happened before. I think it was challenging
15:07
Speaker 1: and hard for her at times, and rightfully so, just
15:10
Speaker 1: like everybody, I feel like everybody is going to have
15:13
Speaker 1: a difficult time, and I think she tried her best.
15:16
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm. And then then Caitlin said, I always give
15:22
Speaker 1: the same advice to everyone that goes on the show,
15:24
Speaker 1: and that's basically not try to not try and control
15:27
Speaker 1: the narrative. Actually that's really good advice. Um. Interesting, I
15:32
Speaker 1: think tastious quote is says kind of like a lot right.
15:36
Speaker 1: It just sounds like it does not go smoothly. I
15:39
Speaker 1: think she tried her best. Doesn't exactly feel like what
15:45
Speaker 1: we're used to when it comes to how the host
15:49
Speaker 1: or people talk about the lead. It's usually like wrapped
15:52
Speaker 1: around this like kind of story of goodness and how
15:55
Speaker 1: great they were or whatever. But this sounds like we
15:57
Speaker 1: could get some drama this season. This sounds like there
16:00
Speaker 1: may not be the happiest of the endings. Uh. That
16:04
Speaker 1: combined with the fact that they wrapped filming to ear
16:08
Speaker 1: least a week early, says something to me. So we
16:12
Speaker 1: didn't have that confirmed. They did week rap filming a
16:15
Speaker 1: week earlier, you might have talked about it, but that
16:17
Speaker 1: that is something that's confirmed and just to be noted.
16:20
Speaker 1: So there's something going on now. It had to be.
16:24
Speaker 1: You know, we've gotten like behind the scenes from producers
16:26
Speaker 1: even we talked about a couple of weeks ago, like
16:29
Speaker 1: their comments even where how hard this season was, just
16:31
Speaker 1: how different maybe it was not even hard, but just different,
16:34
Speaker 1: it felt different, how how much it operated. I think
16:39
Speaker 1: in a in a way, I'm now getting more excited
16:42
Speaker 1: to watch the difference, just in the like the intrigue
16:46
Speaker 1: of what in the world is just going to look like?
16:49
Speaker 1: Is that kind of weird? No, I'm definitely curious, but
16:53
Speaker 1: mostly because it sounds like they didn't have an easy time,
16:57
Speaker 1: so it's like, oh, is there gonna be another really
16:59
Speaker 1: stressful season to watch? Like is it not going to
17:01
Speaker 1: be enjoyable or I don't know, because we all know
17:05
Speaker 1: that Like last season, I didn't think that production thought
17:07
Speaker 1: it was as hard as it was, but maybe it
17:09
Speaker 1: was just in hindsight it was harder. I think in
17:11
Speaker 1: hindsight it was harder. Well, speaking of last season The Bachelor,
17:15
Speaker 1: Matt James explains getting back together with Rachel on CNN.
17:20
Speaker 1: This is a scene an article Ashley, What is going on? So?
17:23
Speaker 1: Matt says, despite their very public breakup, he and Rachel
17:27
Speaker 1: are now, of course, trying to make their relationship work.
17:30
Speaker 1: As we reported a couple of weeks ago. He doesn't
17:32
Speaker 1: want to speak for Rachel, though, he says that she's
17:35
Speaker 1: um doing what she can to be a more sensitive partner.
17:39
Speaker 1: He says, I think the best way to put it
17:41
Speaker 1: is that we can have critical conversations about being in
17:45
Speaker 1: this relationship and talk about what he needs in a partner. Um.
17:50
Speaker 1: He says that that those kind of conversations are especially
17:54
Speaker 1: important if the woman isn't Black, because she needs to
17:57
Speaker 1: understand what comes with him in his life. He also
18:00
Speaker 1: talked about his relationship with God within this relationship. He said,
18:03
Speaker 1: whenever my relationship with him gets off course, then I
18:06
Speaker 1: feel like everything in my life gets off course. And
18:12
Speaker 1: he also said this week very revealing this interview with
18:17
Speaker 1: The Wall Street Journal, he said he didn't have sex
18:20
Speaker 1: during the Fantasy suitet dates. That's really interesting, especially for
18:26
Speaker 1: him to come out and say it. I mean, you know,
18:28
Speaker 1: we've had that happen many times before, but it's usually
18:31
Speaker 1: just not talked about at all, you know, just him
18:35
Speaker 1: talking and bringing religion and his faith into this season
18:38
Speaker 1: like he did. I'm not surprised to hear this, really,
18:42
Speaker 1: but I am surprised at how it was edited, because
18:45
Speaker 1: it's certainly made it seem like a gut kind of
18:47
Speaker 1: steaming in there. Right. But but I would say that
18:51
Speaker 1: they do that anything. I say, they did do that
18:53
Speaker 1: every season. And I've said this a zillion times on
18:55
Speaker 1: this podcast before. I do think that, like I don't
18:58
Speaker 1: even think sex happen and of fantasy suites, but they
19:02
Speaker 1: always make it seem like it does. Of course that's
19:05
Speaker 1: part of it, right, Yeah, mm hmm. Well actually, um,
19:10
Speaker 1: moving on from Matt James and Katie Thurston now into
19:14
Speaker 1: some news going on in Bachelor Nation with some past contestants.
19:18
Speaker 1: We have something to celebrate Bachelor Paradise Asterrid and Kevin
19:21
Speaker 1: expecting a baby after a long journey with IVF. I'm
19:25
Speaker 1: so happy about this news. This is awesome. So Astrod
19:28
Speaker 1: and Kevin are having a baby via IVF. They said
19:31
Speaker 1: that they tried I U I. If you guys are
19:33
Speaker 1: you know, kind of well versed in the fertility world.
19:36
Speaker 1: I U I is a step that's often taken before
19:39
Speaker 1: doing IVF, and she said that they did two cycles
19:42
Speaker 1: of that and they did that of course before because
19:44
Speaker 1: IVF is so much more intrusive, and they they ended
19:50
Speaker 1: up having an ep topic pregnancy during one of those attempts,
19:54
Speaker 1: which out that that hurts UM. That is basically when
19:58
Speaker 1: the baby be or the embryo implants into the fallopian
20:04
Speaker 1: tube and not the the uterus, so that is that's
20:09
Speaker 1: not an ideal situation. She said. She ended up having
20:12
Speaker 1: to take medication to terminate that pregnancy, and then um
20:16
Speaker 1: it pushed their whole trying back another two and a
20:20
Speaker 1: half months. She said that they spent a year trying
20:23
Speaker 1: and then realized that it wasn't working and then they
20:28
Speaker 1: started IVF a week before Christmas and then the next month, um,
20:33
Speaker 1: I think that was that was the month, she said.
20:36
Speaker 1: Kevin said that because it's such a private thing, a
20:38
Speaker 1: lot of times people don't know what's going on behind
20:41
Speaker 1: closed doors, and people are you know, asking of course,
20:44
Speaker 1: like how is it getting pre are you guys are

20:53
Speaker 1: they said they just wanted to go through the IVF
20:55
Speaker 1: process because they knew it was like they were having
20:59
Speaker 1: challenges getting pregn it and I didn't want to put
21:01

21:33
Speaker 1: friends who have gone through this journey of trying to
21:35

21:54
Speaker 1: gonna wrap up into or two headlines either going to
21:56
Speaker 1: wrap up in the one uh. Peter Weber says, he's
21:59
Speaker 1: to can a breather from dating. Uh, And at the
22:02
Speaker 1: same time, he is closer than ever with his mom
22:08
Speaker 1: one year after The Bachelor, Did you wrap those together
22:12
Speaker 1: for seke of humor? Well, we happened together for sake
22:16
Speaker 1: of efficiency, Okay. So Peter said this week to People
22:22
Speaker 1: magazine that he's gone on his fair share of dates
22:25
Speaker 1: over the past couple of years, and I think I
22:27
Speaker 1: can take a breather, he said. Uh. He's obsessed with
22:31
Speaker 1: living in New York. It's a new adventure every day.
22:35
Speaker 1: He says, my relationship with Kelly was probably one of
22:37
Speaker 1: the most amazing I've ever had. Um and the breakup
22:41
Speaker 1: was really tough for us. Both breakup suck for everyone involved.
22:44
Speaker 1: They always just hurt. But having the opportunity to now
22:47
Speaker 1: have this fresh start, I'm in a new place of
22:49
Speaker 1: my life and I'm so happy right now, he says.
22:51
Speaker 1: Looking back in the past two years, all I've been
22:54
Speaker 1: focused on is as a relationship, and now I'm taking
22:56
Speaker 1: a step back and I'm focused on myself and I
23:00
Speaker 1: want to improve myself and become a stronger man in
23:03
Speaker 1: so many ways. And this is the first time, or
23:07
Speaker 1: the first time in a long time that he's or
23:11
Speaker 1: maybe he's the first time ever that he hasn't lived
23:14
Speaker 1: at home. Um, so he's twenty nine, and he said
23:19
Speaker 1: that he lived at home for so long because the
23:21
Speaker 1: cooking was unreal thanks to his mom, Barbara. He also
23:26
Speaker 1: said that the process over the past couple of years
23:29
Speaker 1: has really made him realize that you know, the person
23:33
Speaker 1: that you choose to marry, you're not just marrying that
23:35
Speaker 1: person that you're kind of marrying into a whole family.
23:38
Speaker 1: So it's very it's a very big deal to him
23:42
Speaker 1: now that they share similar family values and um, he's
23:48
Speaker 1: looking for a sweetheart, which is something that his mom
23:51
Speaker 1: and him both want him to find that's sweet. Well,
23:55
Speaker 1: we're some Peter the best big News switching gears quite
23:59
Speaker 1: a bit. This is a story that we've been intrigued
24:01
Speaker 1: by for years, or at least I have. Yes, we've
24:05
Speaker 1: asked so many questions, we've made so many assumptions, we've
24:08
Speaker 1: never got an answer to it. But Bachelor's Becca Martinez
24:12
Speaker 1: finally tells the actual story of when she was reported
24:16
Speaker 1: missing in two thousand eighteen. No, actually, for anybody that
24:19
Speaker 1: doesn't know we're talking about, please give a brief rundown
24:22
Speaker 1: of what happened and then what actually happened during this disappearance. Okay,
24:30
Speaker 1: so do you guys remember that in the midst of
24:32
Speaker 1: our season airing, I believe um Beca Martinez was reported
24:39
Speaker 1: missing from her mother, Like there were actually signs out
24:43
Speaker 1: there with Becca's face on it, like missing person. And
24:46
Speaker 1: remember how when it like she finally revealed where she
24:51
Speaker 1: was and like that she was okay. She said that
24:53
Speaker 1: she was living on a pot farm. Well that's maybe
25:00
Speaker 1: out all that there was. She said that she this
25:03
Speaker 1: is a quote basically to make a very long shory
25:06
Speaker 1: store short, I was broke after The Bachelor and I
25:10
Speaker 1: had to quit my nanny jobs because you know, she
25:12
Speaker 1: had to leave for the show for almost two months,
25:14
Speaker 1: and I needed to make some quick cash. So I
25:17
Speaker 1: went with a new friend to work on a weed farm,
25:20
Speaker 1: trimming trimming the weeds, the weed for a couple of weeks.
25:27
Speaker 1: And then um, so that was that was true. Um,
25:31
Speaker 1: but then there was an incident with a bear. She
25:35
Speaker 1: said that she like accidentally hit a bear with her
25:37
Speaker 1: car during this time, and um, she said that she
25:45
Speaker 1: felt really bad for not telling her parents where she
25:48
Speaker 1: was when she was on the weed farm. She said
25:50
Speaker 1: her parents were like traumatized. Um, and then she said
25:56
Speaker 1: that like once she heard that her parents were so nervous,
25:59
Speaker 1: she left the farm the next day. It was a
26:02
Speaker 1: wild story. I mean we wondered, we were we were confused. Uh,
26:07
Speaker 1: there was a lot going on. I'm glad to finally
26:09
Speaker 1: have um, some clarity. I remember we we this wasn't
26:13
Speaker 1: far off and what we thought was happening, right, We
26:16
Speaker 1: thought she just kind of took a little trip. This
26:17
Speaker 1: was kind of where we're landing. But we just didn't
26:19
Speaker 1: have confirmation on that. So how do you say anything
26:21
Speaker 1: about it if you don't know. Um, we've done that before,
26:24
Speaker 1: and that ever gets anywhere good. So Becka Martinez has confirmed.
26:27
Speaker 1: Now she did disappear, but as soon as her parents
26:30
Speaker 1: were worried about her, she came back home. And she
26:32
Speaker 1: is now living a happy life as a mother and
26:34
Speaker 1: as a business entrepreneur and as a leader and as
26:38
Speaker 1: a podcast though she's doing a lot now, she's back
26:40
Speaker 1: bigger than ever. Well, Uh, somebody that won't be back
26:45
Speaker 1: on a Bachelor Happy Hour podcast is Rachel Lindsay. This
26:50
Speaker 1: week was a hundred her hundredth episode of the Bachelor
26:54
Speaker 1: Happy Hour podcast. That she co hosted for years, uh
26:58
Speaker 1: with Becca kou friend or for a year? I guess
27:01
Speaker 1: with Becha Koufer in two years because about two years
27:04
Speaker 1: no was it? Yeah, it was I think summer two
27:08
Speaker 1: thousand and nine. Well, she's now stepping away officially, and
27:14

27:41
Speaker 1: But all things come to an end. Good things come
27:43
Speaker 1: to an end, and I feel like certain things have
27:45
Speaker 1: run their course, and for me, I have run my course.
27:49
Speaker 1: I've been struggling, that's no secret. I'm definitely closing the door,
27:52
Speaker 1: but I'm not like locking it and throwing away the key.
27:55
Speaker 1: It's just I have to for me walk away. And yeah,
27:58

30:23
Speaker 1: sure your time will come. But for this segment, we
30:28
Speaker 1: thought that we would, um, we would answer some fan
30:33
Speaker 1: questions that were sent in for you and I as
30:36
Speaker 1: a couple. We love questions because we can never come
30:38
Speaker 1: up with original content ourselves. I'm not joking about this.
30:40
Speaker 1: We do. We love questions. Also, we're very long winded
30:45
Speaker 1: and annoying, so you know you were the ones who asked,
30:49
Speaker 1: all right, what was the biggest argument you've had since
30:52
Speaker 1: you've gotten married, since we've gotten married. That's actually a
30:55
Speaker 1: good question. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know either
30:57
Speaker 1: because the only fights that I can actually think before
31:00
Speaker 1: before we were married. Yeah, and it was all about
31:02
Speaker 1: bachelor paradise. So we've gone over that though. Um so
31:08
Speaker 1: since we've gotten married, probably moving stuff. It's just moving
31:11
Speaker 1: stuff and that's not like those are like bickers and
31:14
Speaker 1: those are like really small. But like Gerald'll get moody
31:18
Speaker 1: and then I'll get annoyed because I'm O c D
31:21
Speaker 1: and I need everything to be super perfect. And when
31:23
Speaker 1: I say I'm O c D, like I don't mean
31:26
Speaker 1: like like no, guys, Like my medication is like formulated
31:34
Speaker 1: so that to help people with O c D tendency
31:36
Speaker 1: is and anxiety. So it's like I have some real
31:39
Speaker 1: things here. So when you're diagnosed, you're not very mild.
31:44
Speaker 1: I wouldn't call it like, you know, some affects people's lives.
31:47
Speaker 1: I yes, I like, you know, have to hold on
31:52
Speaker 1: door knobs and light switches and finangle things like touch
31:57
Speaker 1: them five times. And if I don't touch them five times,
31:59
Speaker 1: right then I have to do it five times five,
32:01
Speaker 1: and you don't even know that I do this stuff,
32:04
Speaker 1: and it would be so embarrassed that you do, like,
32:06
Speaker 1: you know, at night, like sometimes I'll touch my phone
32:09
Speaker 1: for like a solid five seconds. You have to count
32:11
Speaker 1: to five. You do that before you know that I'm
32:14
Speaker 1: doing that, though, No, I've never caught you doing it.
32:16
Speaker 1: And what happens if I don't do it? Quote quote
32:19
Speaker 1: alsoing bad's gonna happen. Something bad's going to happen to
32:22
Speaker 1: our family. Well, don't think that way. That's a terrible way.
32:24
Speaker 1: That's that's just my brain is wired. You know. I
32:28
Speaker 1: once Tom Brady a couple of years ago and bring
32:30
Speaker 1: it back to the man himself. He doesn't believe in
32:33
Speaker 1: bad luck or anything like that. He broke a mirror
32:36
Speaker 1: and walked under a mirra. Tom Brady have to throw
32:40
Speaker 1: and touchdown passes left and right from the New England Patriots.
32:43
Speaker 1: Broke a mirror, Okay, but he broke a mirror, walked
32:46
Speaker 1: under a ladder, and he's like, guys, there's no such
32:48
Speaker 1: thing as bad luck. And he's one like three super
32:51
Speaker 1: a good way to prove that it doesn't exist. I
32:54
Speaker 1: trust him. He's an anomaly, obviously, do you guys, hear
32:56
Speaker 1: that three D sound of an email coming through my phone.
33:00
Speaker 1: I don't even know how this. What is three D
33:01
Speaker 1: sound is? So this mike that we're using has three
33:05
Speaker 1: different MiGs in different directions, so it's like surround yeah,
33:08
Speaker 1: surround sound. So technically three D three D I think
33:12
Speaker 1: surround sound audio like surround Yeah, three D audio equal
33:17
Speaker 1: surround sound. When I think when I think of three D,
33:20
Speaker 1: I think of the Terminator ride at Universal. I never
33:23
Speaker 1: went on that one. He missed out. It's a good one,
33:26
Speaker 1: is it there anymore? Think? No? No, no, it got
33:29
Speaker 1: taken down a few years ago. Hey, while we were
33:31
Speaker 1: removing you got gray in your beard. I know you
33:34
Speaker 1: stressed me out. Did you know that I did stress
33:38
Speaker 1: him out because you know, I tell him where to
33:41
Speaker 1: put things and he has to nail them in. It's
33:44
Speaker 1: also whenever I do something on my own, it's never
33:46
Speaker 1: good enough. So I don't make decisions. But more, babe, Okay,
33:49
Speaker 1: So this is here's our fright. This is literally what
33:51
Speaker 1: we find about. You just throw it up there. I
33:55
Speaker 1: don't just throw it up there. I like it a
33:57
Speaker 1: certain way. You just you don't like it a certain
34:00
Speaker 1: because then I tell you Hey, that doesn't exactly look right.
34:03
Speaker 1: And you, guys, I brace it. I braced him for it.
34:06
Speaker 1: I'm like, you're really gonna get annoyed at me, but
34:10
Speaker 1: I want to do like I'm not even talking about them.
34:15
Speaker 1: You don't have a design. I like, that's okay. Not
34:18
Speaker 1: everything has to be perfect, especially why not? Why would
34:24
Speaker 1: we want things to be because all right, I like
34:26
Speaker 1: making decisions, and yes, my decisions may not be the
34:29
Speaker 1: same as yours. But it's not. You know, I still
34:32
Speaker 1: think it looks good. It's not. I lived without you
34:35
Speaker 1: for eight years, and um, I thought my room was
34:38
Speaker 1: always very well put together. My my apartments were always
34:42
Speaker 1: very well organized. It was nice. But like you guys,
34:47
Speaker 1: he loves in space like he like, doesn't he's getting
34:51
Speaker 1: so annoyed in her now when you make it sound
34:52
Speaker 1: like I'm some sort of pig who has no idea.
34:56
Speaker 1: You're very clean and organized. It's just when you hang things.
35:00
Speaker 1: It's truly when you hang there. This is one of
35:02
Speaker 1: the issues in our marriage, though, is you can't let
35:04
Speaker 1: things go right. No, no, because I have obsessive compulsive disorder.
35:09
Speaker 1: I'm not going to and you guys, it's very mild. Okay,
35:14
Speaker 1: but it exists. So if I walk into that room
35:17
Speaker 1: and I see that you put the photo up there
35:20
Speaker 1: with at least three inches of extra negative space, I'm
35:25
Speaker 1: gonna just focus in on that. I've got to focus, focus, focused.
35:29
Speaker 1: But that is my thing. Like, that's just something you
35:31
Speaker 1: have to accept. That's fine, But don't you have to
35:35
Speaker 1: accept that. I'm just going to be annoyed by Fine,
35:37
Speaker 1: I guess. I guess you'll be independent human being. I
35:40
Speaker 1: want to be able to put things together as well,
35:42
Speaker 1: and it might not be to your exact perfection, but
35:46
Speaker 1: I think it looks nice. Yeah, but you know that
35:47
Speaker 1: when we have a house, like you can't just like
35:50
Speaker 1: do anything saying anything about a house. We've lived in
35:53
Speaker 1: two apartments together. I think is that the issue is
35:56
Speaker 1: because you think it's you think it's temporary. He says.
35:59
Speaker 1: This is what he says. What I've told you this
36:01
Speaker 1: a million times. I never tell you what to put
36:04
Speaker 1: up in the bedroom. I never tell you what to
36:06
Speaker 1: put up in the living room. I never tell you
36:07
Speaker 1: what to do with your glam room. Literally, the only
36:10
Speaker 1: thing I want is for like a little area of
36:13
Speaker 1: my own. But you just cannot let it go because
36:15
Speaker 1: I exists, in my place. But that's still that's actually
36:19
Speaker 1: quite rude because you're not letting me have any sense
36:22
Speaker 1: of independence. Where I imagine me going into your glam
36:26
Speaker 1: room and be like, I don't like that. I think
36:27
Speaker 1: you should do this, and you're like, this is my
36:29
Speaker 1: glam room. I love you, but let me have my
36:32
Speaker 1: glamorroom the way I want. For example, Yes, if I
36:35
Speaker 1: want a Superman poster over here and a Tom Brady
36:38
Speaker 1: thing over there, and it's not exact, but I kind
36:40
Speaker 1: of like the way it looks, just be like, nope,
36:42
Speaker 1: it looks good. It's not like I'm putting things crooked
36:44
Speaker 1: up there, or you know, there's like one wall that's
36:48
Speaker 1: empty while the other wall has fifty two things. I
36:50
Speaker 1: don't know. This is my only annoyance. I you guys,
36:53
Speaker 1: you got us in the middle of moving and like
36:57
Speaker 1: hanging days. Okay, so like we organized is pretty much everything,
37:00
Speaker 1: and now we're just hanging stuff. This is where we
37:05
Speaker 1: get really frustrated with ourselves. And I know where here's
37:07
Speaker 1: what you're saying, but I cannot accept it because it
37:11
Speaker 1: exists in my apartment and I will go in there
37:15
Speaker 1: and see and it feels like there's a sense of
37:17
Speaker 1: not completeness and not perfection, and that's fine. I will
37:21
Speaker 1: accept that, but you have to accept my mood, your mood,
37:24
Speaker 1: You're just gonna have to, Okay, I will accept your
37:26
Speaker 1: annoyance sorted that you always Yeah, that's well because eventually
37:30
Speaker 1: the day is over in our hanging days are done,
37:32
Speaker 1: and then we're back to normal and we're not annoying
37:34
Speaker 1: at each other. But like if when we move into
37:38
Speaker 1: our house, our permanent house, one day, you you acknowledge
37:42
Speaker 1: that everything does need to be like with now I'm
37:44
Speaker 1: changing my twod because you never let me have the
37:46
Speaker 1: opportunity to hang things on my own. You guys, he nailed.
37:51
Speaker 1: I can't believe we're talking about this. He nailed. Oh
37:54
Speaker 1: my god. Okay. So we had a task rab It
37:56
Speaker 1: come the other day and I was out and he goes,
38:01
Speaker 1: I had them put the amount for the TV up
38:04
Speaker 1: and I was like, okay, did you put in the
38:06
Speaker 1: center of the wall, and he was like, in the
38:09
Speaker 1: center of the wall, yes it was. And I was like, okay, perfect,
38:11
Speaker 1: in the center of the wall. Looks great. This is
38:13
Speaker 1: where the old TV was. It's gonna be great. But
38:16
Speaker 1: then he didn't take into consideration that it needed to
38:19
Speaker 1: be completely centered with notable we ended up putting a
38:25
Speaker 1: kitchen table to the right side of that wall. So
38:27
Speaker 1: we're like, oh, no, we need to move the TV
38:29
Speaker 1: to the left. But then the TV console, Um, it
38:33
Speaker 1: wasn't lining up. So he basically put it so that
38:35
Speaker 1: the TV console would be like one ft off from
38:38
Speaker 1: the center of yes, because then you would have what
38:41
Speaker 1: had the console where we would have just moved the console.
38:46
Speaker 1: Wasn't the moving of the console and the moving of
38:48
Speaker 1: the then if we put the console over to the right,
38:52
Speaker 1: it would have bumped into the kitchen table. We would
38:55
Speaker 1: have moved the kitchen table on to the what the hallway. No,
38:58
Speaker 1: we would have figured it out. It was more of
39:01
Speaker 1: the annoyance of like, yet again, I can never do
39:03
Speaker 1: anything on my own. It was annoyed because I was
39:06
Speaker 1: right about it. But that's my point, and my point is, sure,
39:10
Speaker 1: you can have the TV, but then like you come
39:12
Speaker 1: into my the like the office slash man cave, and
39:15
Speaker 1: you're like no, no, no, no, And it's like you
39:17
Speaker 1: could like if you didn't tell me all those nose
39:20
Speaker 1: or like try to override my decisions in the office,
39:24
Speaker 1: the TV would not have annoyed me as much. But
39:27
Speaker 1: it's everything I guess them. I guess the bottom of
39:30
Speaker 1: the bottom line is I would prefer just to deal
39:33
Speaker 1: with your mood for a couple of days. Well, you're
39:35
Speaker 1: dealing with it, I know, I am see, and you
39:38
Speaker 1: could admit that you're annoyed instead of what did I
39:41
Speaker 1: just said? I know, But earlier in the car, you're like,
39:45
Speaker 1: I'm just my body's tired. No, seriously, I mean, I'm
39:48
Speaker 1: very tired today. It's not I My mellowness today had
39:53
Speaker 1: nothing to do with annoyance. Of course, when we had
39:56
Speaker 1: to move the bracket and I was annoyed, yes, that
39:59
Speaker 1: was from the annoyance. Now we have two large holes
40:02
Speaker 1: in the wall. But you know what I would prefer.
40:05
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's my mom um. I would prefer holes
40:12
Speaker 1: in the wall for a temporary period of time than
40:14
Speaker 1: it's to be crooked or off center. Okay, so we're
40:19
Speaker 1: going to move on to a lighter topic. Um. Somebody said,
40:23
Speaker 1: who will be the mean parent? Who will be the
40:27
Speaker 1: fun parent. I don't think either one of us are
40:31
Speaker 1: going to be mean parents. I think they mean the disciplinarian.
40:35
Speaker 1: I feel as if I will be the disciplinarian. Yes,
40:38
Speaker 1: see what. I also feel that I'll be the fun parent.
40:41
Speaker 1: I agree. I think you might be both extremes. Not
40:44
Speaker 1: that you're going to be extreme extreme, but like, yeah,
40:49
Speaker 1: I don't think we're one or the other. I think
40:51
Speaker 1: you're just going to be consistently supportive and loving towards
40:54
Speaker 1: our children. No, thank you, like I am with the lowest,
40:57
Speaker 1: like you are with the lowest. So Jared is way
41:00
Speaker 1: more fun with Lois and he's way more disciplinary with her,
41:06
Speaker 1: and I am just constantly like, oh, if she messed up,
41:09
Speaker 1: if she got mad and bit someone, I was like
41:12
Speaker 1: a fun fact. Guys. One time Lois bit Chris Harrison.
41:17
Speaker 1: Yeah it wasn't good. I mean it was a little nick.
41:19
Speaker 1: It wasn't anything bad. I don't want you know. I
41:22
Speaker 1: think you broke skin though, did she did? She did?
41:26
Speaker 1: I mean a little little baby thing, a little baby
41:29
Speaker 1: she's really bad come into her territory. And he came
41:32
Speaker 1: into her hotel room of five days. Yeah, we were
41:35
Speaker 1: quarantining and then she hadn't seen people for a few days.
41:38
Speaker 1: And there's a bunch of people that walked in at
41:41
Speaker 1: the same time, and one was Chris and like she
41:44
Speaker 1: was like freaking out everybody and then like Chris just
41:47
Speaker 1: like put his hand out, just kind of like yes, yes,
41:54
Speaker 1: here you go. Just sniffy whoops, right, our last question
42:01
Speaker 1: because we did spend so much time on the annoyance question.
42:04
Speaker 1: But I feel like a lot of people will be
42:05
Speaker 1: able to relate to that. We'll find out we're just
42:07
Speaker 1: trying to give you, guys, good content. You know, we're
42:09
Speaker 1: just happy, go lucky. How we're being real, but honestly,
42:16
Speaker 1: like we are so great and not annoyed each other
42:20
Speaker 1: nineties six percent of the time you caught us on
42:24
Speaker 1: a week where where there might have been annoying, well,
42:27
Speaker 1: it's just it's moving and then busy. And do you
42:31
Speaker 1: guys hear that you hear that three D sound from
42:33
Speaker 1: somebody trying to check their engine outside bud Rhode Island
42:39
Speaker 1: in Rhode Island. Okay, I'm pressing anybody. Do you pick
42:43
Speaker 1: sides when there's drama between your bachelor friends? Luckily, our
42:48
Speaker 1: core group of bachelor friends don't get dramatic. I can't
42:52
Speaker 1: remember one time we're there was a moment where we
42:56
Speaker 1: felt like we had to pick one or the other.
42:58
Speaker 1: Ye know, So that's good. And then for Ash and I.
43:04
Speaker 1: We don't. I don't think we've ever been on an
43:07
Speaker 1: opposite side of an argument like that, right, We we
43:09
Speaker 1: don't really disagree when it comes to like well, I mean,
43:14
Speaker 1: we certainly disagree, but we have we have good conversations
43:18
Speaker 1: and then we see each other's perspective and sometimes you'll
43:20
Speaker 1: agree with me more or sometimes I'll agree with you more.
43:23
Speaker 1: It's fun having those conversations with you, Yeah, because we
43:26
Speaker 1: usually find common ground and if not, they're all very respectful. Yeah. Um, okay,
43:33
Speaker 1: so then have you have have you you get that
43:37
Speaker 1: three D sound? You hear that? Just see like they
43:39
Speaker 1: probably don't hear that at all? Probably not and zing okay,
43:45
Speaker 1: last question, do you have baby names picked out yet? Yeah?
43:50
Speaker 1: We have a boy name picked out and it's like
43:52
Speaker 1: a full boy name. We're not saying it. We're never
43:56
Speaker 1: gonna say it. Guys. I have had this name picked
43:58
Speaker 1: out from two thou nine picked out earlier than that. No,
44:04
Speaker 1: I wasn't creative enough. Um, but so it's been thirteen years. Wait,
44:11
Speaker 1: no it hasn't. Wow, I'm done years. I love the name,
44:17
Speaker 1: but it's for a boy. Jared thinks it's okay for
44:20
Speaker 1: a girl. I think it could be okay for a
44:22
Speaker 1: girl too, but like everybody, Oh no, no, you don't
44:25
Speaker 1: think that you did for a second. No, we're literally
44:29
Speaker 1: on the opposite sides of them. You know, at first
44:31
Speaker 1: you were okay with it, said it was either a
44:34
Speaker 1: boy or a girl firstborn, this is their name, and
44:36
Speaker 1: I thought, well, I like it better, definitely better for
44:40
Speaker 1: a boy. Yeah, I know I've never said no, you
44:44
Speaker 1: did early early on, early on, years ago. I don't
44:48
Speaker 1: think so. I think you were the one I thought
44:53
Speaker 1: we switched. Anyway, we have a name, and we love
44:57
Speaker 1: it very very much, very much. I don't want anybody
45:00
Speaker 1: else to take it. I'm worried it's going to become
45:02
Speaker 1: a popular name. It I don't know. Once we put
45:06
Speaker 1: it out there, then it's like the hell the fact
45:08
Speaker 1: Wells name. We're not that in people, Jared. People started
45:12
Speaker 1: naming their kids Wells the year that Wells was on,
45:17
Speaker 1: And this is going to be a kind of unique name.
45:19
Speaker 1: That's pretty cool. Let's hold our horses. I don't I
45:23
Speaker 1: really get worried about this. I know, Wow, what worries
45:27
Speaker 1: I have right talking about privilege, worried about people are
45:31
Speaker 1: going to change take my kid's name, but we don't
45:34
Speaker 1: really have a girl's name picked out. Mm hmm, it'll
45:40
Speaker 1: be fun to figure out. Let's name our kid Lois Jr.
45:44
Speaker 1: Sure head is you know Lois is watching? Oh? Yeah,
45:47
Speaker 1: Lois is just sleeping listening to mom and dad record
45:50
Speaker 1: on this three D thing. All right, well we're going
45:52
Speaker 1: to hand it over to Ben and Jess. Now, so
45:55
Speaker 1: where's this going? This is going on the almost famous podcast.
45:58
Speaker 1: This is These Weeks almost famous podcas House. Jared, you're
46:00
Speaker 1: on the podcast. What do you mean? This is like
46:03
Speaker 1: the podcast podcast. I would have done so much better
46:08
Speaker 1: had I known that. Oh that makes means that you
46:10
Speaker 1: did a great job because you're super organic in yourself.
46:13
Speaker 1: I heart three D audio. All right, Jess? What rules
46:23
Speaker 1: did you have for me at my bachelor party? Um?
46:26
Speaker 1: I actually pulled one of your friends aside, I think
46:28
Speaker 1: without you knowing, and I said, I wanted you to
46:32
Speaker 1: have one night that you couldn't remember. Well, was that
46:37
Speaker 1: the night I won the dance contest? Yeah? It was
46:39
Speaker 1: when you won the booty shaking contest. That's what you
46:41
Speaker 1: told me it was. I definitely think it was. Thank
46:46
Speaker 1: you for doing that was very sweeter. Here, what are
46:50
Speaker 1: we arguing about the most when it comes to wedding planning.
46:55
Speaker 1: Um good, I feel like we've been like pretty similar
47:04
Speaker 1: on everything. I guess maybe like at the beginning it
47:11
Speaker 1: was the size, Yeah, but now I think we're just
47:16
Speaker 1: kind of on the same page. I think we are.
47:18
Speaker 1: We had to work through like the size, the music,
47:23
Speaker 1: like we've worked through all those things. But I thought
47:25
Speaker 1: I felt like we've done it well. Yeah, there's nothing
47:28
Speaker 1: that's been like, no massive blow ups, no, and like
47:32
Speaker 1: I think that we've heard each other out on everything
47:35
Speaker 1: and it makes sense. So yeah, I mean we kind
47:37
Speaker 1: of wanted the same thing, right, Like we wanted this
47:40
Speaker 1: to be a party. We didn't want it to be
47:42
Speaker 1: super fancy. We wanted to be a celebration. Maybe your
47:46
Speaker 1: suit color because you wanted a spring suit in our
47:49
Speaker 1: weddings in the fall, So we had to figure out
47:52
Speaker 1: the shade of gray. That's right. Yeah, that's that was
47:55
Speaker 1: a big I don't think we're going to make it
47:58
Speaker 1: through that one. By the way, it's snowing out right now.
48:03
Speaker 1: Um it's May ten and it's snowing in Denver. If
48:07
Speaker 1: you hear the wind shield wipers going a drive, you
48:10
Speaker 1: can also hear my tears um. How well, speaking of
48:15
Speaker 1: snow in May, how did you decide to move to
48:18
Speaker 1: Denver and not tennesse See this is a great place,
48:25
Speaker 1: I know. I mean the real reason is my dad
48:29
Speaker 1: honestly encourage us that it would be good for us
48:31
Speaker 1: to go out and not being here either of our families.
48:34
Speaker 1: So just for a bit, yeah, for a while, and
48:37
Speaker 1: we listen to anything. Jay says, yeah, he's he's rulable,
48:41
Speaker 1: But it really has been. I think it's been great
48:43
Speaker 1: for us so far. And I think it's been great
48:45
Speaker 1: for us in our first couple of years of marriage.
48:47
Speaker 1: And I do love it here. It's just like I
48:50
Speaker 1: just don't I just don't understand. You don't love the
48:54
Speaker 1: hold and you don't love the snow, And this year
48:57
Speaker 1: has by far been the most snow and most is
49:00
Speaker 1: cold we've had of all time. I just feel like
49:03
Speaker 1: it's a lie at this point. It might be. Yeah,
49:07
Speaker 1: everyone just seems to be going about their merry way,
49:09
Speaker 1: and I feel like I want to crawl in a hole. Uh.
49:15
Speaker 1: Two more questions. Okay, what's one thing I don't know
49:18
Speaker 1: about you? And then I'll share one thing I don't
49:21
Speaker 1: know about it or that you don't know about. Um,
49:27
Speaker 1: you don't know about maybe that I won the first
49:38
Speaker 1: grade spelling me. Did you know that? Yeah? What was
49:41
Speaker 1: the last word? Cattle? Welcome to Tennessee. The second place

49:50
Speaker 1: I can see that. Yeah, but it's c A T
49:53
Speaker 1: T l E. So did you did you cry when
49:56
Speaker 1: you won? Oh? I was thrilled. I didn't cry. It
49:59
Speaker 1: was more just like my head grew four sized figger
50:02
Speaker 1: and I got to wear a sticker the whole day
50:04
Speaker 1: that says I'm the winner. What's one thing you don't
50:12
Speaker 1: know about me? I would say that my sixth grade
50:19
Speaker 1: talent show, I placed the second place because I did
50:22
Speaker 1: a duet to um Share with my buddy singing. Yeah,
50:28
Speaker 1: we're big Share fans back then. Interesting, Yeah you've heard
50:33
Speaker 1: me sing? Could you see me get in second place?
50:36
Speaker 1: Your voice has probably changed since um Okay, final question, Jessica,
50:45
Speaker 1: we're both off the hast seat here. In a second,
50:48
Speaker 1: we're gonna drive back home. We're gonna get you warm.
50:52
Speaker 1: What is your favorite thing about me? And what is
50:56
Speaker 1: your least favorite thing about my? Everything about you is
51:03
Speaker 1: your generosity and the way you exclude or the way
51:12
Speaker 1: you love people without exclusion. You love everyone that you
51:16
Speaker 1: meet exactly the same, and I just think it's such
51:19
Speaker 1: an admorable quality and you give without thinking twice about it.
51:25
Speaker 1: And I love both these things about you. My leaser
51:29
Speaker 1: thing about you is probably m hm oh we got
51:39
Speaker 1: elk in the road. M right there, I see them now,
51:52
Speaker 1: um my leaser room, hey boys, um My. At least
52:00
Speaker 1: a really value is probably that you like to live
52:06
Speaker 1: in cold places. M. I don't know if I like
52:11
Speaker 1: to live in cold places. It just so happens that
52:14
Speaker 1: I do live in them. Yeah, that's just top of mind. Okay,
52:21
