  Speaker 1: a Hallmark review podcast. I'm Megan, and I'm a longtime
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Hallmark fan. I'm Wendy. I'm a former Hallmark hater who
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: somehow found herself appearing in an episode of Hallmark Television.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: I know what a wild life I love. If you
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: have not seen the Finding Mister Christmas Reunion, stay tuned
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: because we are going to spill the tea today as
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: we talk about the Finding Mister Christmas Reunion and our
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: experience on set. Are you embarrassed, I said, spill the tea? No,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: not at all, not at all.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: I just have like a sheer moment of panic that
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: I wonder if, like people who listen to our podcast
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: didn't realize that was us on the show.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know what I mean. It's fine, it's fine.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: I mean just I mean, they did say our podcast.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Name and our names were on screen, but you know,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: a lot of people don't pay attention to the details
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: like we do.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: So Also, I want to tell you that we are
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: recording this episode before it has aired. And the reason
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I tell you that is because I have this vision.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Wendy and I are going to be together the night
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: this airs. It just so happens. We didn't plan it
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: that way, although honestly I might have, because I have
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: this the vision of us, like taking a picture in
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: front of the TV with us on the screen, Like
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: you think it's gonna you think it's gonna be airing
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: on the TV at the house that you're having a party.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Yet not only do I think it is, I know
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: it is. Do you think they have the Hallmark channel
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: at their they have house a smart TV that I'm

  Speaker 2: us on TV in the background.
• 2:12

  Speaker 1: top then you should, I'm not. I won't. I'll wear
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: something else. That's funny. The amount of money I spent
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: on that top to where once on TV is eve. No,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do that really, Maybe next year. Maybe
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: it's pretty fancy, to be honest, like it's it would
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: look real cute with jeans. No, I know, I know,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: All right, let's get into the reunion special and then
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: we will get into all all of our our experience
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: of being on set.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: That's a good idea. I would like to start by saying,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: I'm so glad they did a reunion this year. Me too,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Me too.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: I felt like, of course we were standing behind the
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: cameras when all this was rolling like unfolding, So watching it,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: the guys feel like friends.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: It felt like it that day too.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: It translated on screen for me as well, like I
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: love like the little gentle ribbing they do with each other,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Like this looks like a group of men who have
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: survived something together. It felt cozy.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: I like that. What was funny to me is, as
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: you mentioned, we were on set the whole day, but
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: we couldn't like they were miked. We couldn't necessarily hear
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: everything that they were saying unless we went over to
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: the video village area where you could hear everything. Yeah,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: so some I didn't know that Angel had announced that
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: he was going to be a daddy. Oh my god.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Same, I didn't know that either. And for additional information,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: we had my daughter with us there that day. Yes,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: my daughter is a seventeen year old. She was helping
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: us out. But we watched the reunion together and she's like, oh, yeah,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: you didn't know that. Like she apparently was paying close
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: attention that day. I don't remember him making that announcement.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: We also, i mean stepped in and out a few times,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: so it's possible that we were not in there at
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: that moment, but I feel like I would have noticed it,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: So that must have been in the green room moment. Yeah,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I'm excited for Angel, Me too, so excited. Speaking of
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: like updates, I did enjoy I where Jonathan like goes
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: through a couple of the guys and asks, you know,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: what their career update is.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Indeed, finishing the show, talk about not hearing and kind
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: of putting the pieces together after the fact. They talk
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: about Marcus, and Marcus is like, yeah, I'm literally leaving tomorrow.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: I'm filming tomorrow, which all, like the dots are all
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: connected now, because when we were on set, we did
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: some press interviews and Marcus was one of our last
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: ones to do and they're like, he's got to go,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: He's got to go, He's got to go. So we
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: got to get a car for him. I was like, what,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: what's the urgency. He's got to get out of here
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: so quickly.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Well, the man was off to film a movie the
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: next day.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, so interesting. We also got an update maybe
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: the biggest shape shifting change. Rustin looks completely different. Yes,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: he says he's he had recently played Elvis in I
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: think on a for like a theater production, and that's
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: why the change in hair and facial hair and all
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: that jazz. Yes, and Russen of course has music coming out.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: It's out as of now. Cover Me in Snow. He
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: does sing it at the end of this episode, and
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: it was a real cute moment on set when he
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: sang that at the end. I actually think it's a
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: real cute song. I do do I don't you know me.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I'm not a big lover of Christmas or Christmas music.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: But I think it's a cute little bop, like it's
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: a fun, fun song to put behind a video and Instagram.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: I'm into that.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's not like something I'm going to fire
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: up and listen to in my car. Do you listen
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: to Christmas music in your car?
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Only? When you do? My family's there because my husband
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: listens to only Christmas music from November first through the holiday.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: He has such rigid rules about the holidays. And the
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: other day we had been in the car forever. I
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: was like, I can't do it anymore, and I changed
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: it to something else. But uh, yeah, my husband listens
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: to a lot of Christmas music, so when he's driving,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: it's and then yeah. But I if I'm alone in
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: the car, I don't listen to music at all. Almost never.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: It's just quiet. No, I listen to a podcast or
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: talk or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah, got it. Got it. Also,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: we learned we knew this already.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Jake snagged a cameo in the Holiday touchdown Abel's Love Story.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: I think we had talked about it on the podcast
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: when we were reviewed.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: We did you did reach out to Jake?
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: It was a blink and yeah miss it moment, but
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: hey whatever, he's getting the phone call to come.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm particiate. Hallmark asked him to be on set.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: I wish he had had like a notable cameo, like
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: an interaction, even if there wasn't a line, but baby steps.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, look here's my here's my hot take. If we
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: had completly gotten cut out of their reunion, I would
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: have still been like, well, they called me and I
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: was there, and you can see my uh shoe in
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: this picture.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: You know I have the footage to prove it. I'm
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: gonna flex. Baby. You should know that Wendy was convinced
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: up until this we have seen the reunion we were
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: going to get cut. I thought for sure. I thought
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: for sure. I even asked on set that day, what
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: are the odds of us getting cut?
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: I think the odds were high, like it depicds look
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: okay for those who don't know, it was a very
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: long day, and they filmed for hours and hours and
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: hours and hours. And I was like, you never know
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: what the editor is gonna get and what the show
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: they're gonna put together? That right, and so what if
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: something like what if something so much better happened, and
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: they're like, well, we gotta cut something.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: We're gonna cut Megan and Wendy. You know. Yes, I
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: think Gabriel's dance saved us all. We'll talk about it. Yeah,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: one final thing.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: They did not talk about it, but but my freakin
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: algorithm on my Instagram, I'm getting so many ads, and
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: who are in these ads? Davy and Gabriel interesting for clothing,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: so so many I'm like, oh, there's Davy.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Oh there's Davy. Every time I scroll on my phone.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: That's so funny. I actually have not gotten anything from them,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: but I did see that Gabriel and his wife and
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: his baby were all doing a shoot together the other day.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Fun so cute. Yeah, and they didn't announce this there,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: but they are expecting a second baby.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: I can't wait to talk more about Gabriel. Okay, and
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: talk about it later when we talk about our time
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: with the guys.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: I enjoyed Melissa Peterman joining the set. Yeah, yeah, that
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: was genuinely a surprise to the guys. They may have suspected,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: but they kept her like nobody saw her until she
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: came on set. So that was very cool. And I
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: just liked the energy that she brought. I'm thrilled that
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: they were able to include her. The BTS is she
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: immediately left and hopped on a plane and was in
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: another state the next morning, so she was like in
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: and out, But they made it happen, and I was
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: glad for that. Yeah, I love that.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: That whole scene where she's like handing out these little gifts,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: She's so warm. And then we learned that she wrote
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Jake this encouraging note. I was like that, She's just,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: She's just I just need her in my lady gang,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: that's all.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Indeed.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Indeed, I really liked They did a segment on the
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: reunion about like the leading Hallmark ladies who have like
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: who were on the season of Finding Mister Christmas. And
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: what I liked is they had like the clips of
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: the guys watching their clips, and I loved watching that.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: This had. This was produced like a good reality TV
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: show reunion. If you're familiar with the reunion, this had
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: all of those beats to it. It felt like a
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Bravo reunion. Obviously, there was no screaming on set, but
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: it had the beats. I liked it. It felt familiar.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: I love a reunion. I liked the blooper moments that
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: they showed. Loved it, like some of it we had seen.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: We had seen Drake Spey Towble, Yes, we had seen
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Davy's grape moment. But they they extended each of them
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: out a little bit. They added a little bit of
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: unseen footage. I was laughing out loud when they were
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: talking about the grapes. It's just so fun and it's
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: fun to see them re experience that because the guys
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: had not seen any of the show at this point,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: and so some inside baseball there. Yeah, so it was
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: just fun to see them react. They seemed to genuinely
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: have a good time. I agreed. Let's talk about Jonathan's
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: acting awards. Here's here's a Here's what I noticed.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: They kind of go into this segment of the reunion
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: and he's got these little awards that he wants to
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: give out right, and then just at the bottom of
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: it says like Jonathan's Acting Awards, like there was no
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: setup to it, which I thought was so interesting. Oh,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: maybe it got cut for time. Perhaps it might have.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: I gotta tell you. Obviously, at the time they filmed
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: a reunion, you and I had only seen two episodes
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: of the show, right, But at the reunion, Jonathan's giving
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: out these awards for like stuff that we hadn't seen,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: and Angel wins for like best Connection for his scene
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: with Sharon Lawrence. And I was like, as I'm watching
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: the reunion on teav and I'm like, no, not.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: For the hairtuk, not for the freaking hairtuck. I can't
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: do it. I feel am I the only one bothered
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: by that whole thing? No? Listen to this week's listener
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: mailbag anyway. I mean, I love Angel.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: I think he's super charismatic and fun, and I love
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: that he won a little an award rust In for
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: his dramatic Donner entrance.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: I will never forget that.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: And it's so it's so crazy when they flash back
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: to that scene where he's like galloping on set.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: He just looks like this beast of a man, right,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: And then we.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: See him in person, and I swear to God, I'm like,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: he's a different dude.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: I fully agree, he's to me a completely different person
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: from the show to present day Rustin And I was
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: wild editing those reels and one just dropped of rust
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, do you identify with that
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: bad boy energy, and he so clearly doesn't. At this point,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: we hadn't seen enough of the show to know, but
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: I just thought, Oh, this is so interesting, like you're
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: a completely different person.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Well that's really an interesting characteristic or quality to have
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: as an actor though, right for sure, Oh we can
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: put you in this role or you're diverse enough for
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: this role, like you can't and diverse you know, meaning
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: like I know A mean Okay anyway, Yeah, super super interesting.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: I loved the them showing the kind of ribbing Marcus
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: a little bit about the horse and it going backwards,
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: like the man can control. I mean, I guess, Look,
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: I've never been on a horse, so I don't know
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: if you can control a horse from like walking backwards.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: I have no idea, but obviously this was his first
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: time on a horse and he gets the horse that
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: wants to reverse. I thought it was funny.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Any other thing I loved all of that, Yeah, Well
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: the highlight was Us.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Hey, I gotta tell you when I watched When I
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: watched this, first of all, we saw a sneak peak
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: of us in the preview, uh huh, prior to the
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: episode coming out, So that made me excited. Then while
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: watching the show. They go to the first commercial and
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: I was like coming up and then I saw us.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: I was laying on my couch with like my sweatshirt
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: over my face. I was like, I am not ready
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: for this whatsoever. No, I had to hype myself up
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: to watch it.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: I finally understand when actors say like, I never watched
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: my stuff. I was so nervous.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Well, that's funny you say that because I listened to
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: our podcast all the time, Like I'm always listening to like.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: What I say or whatever. Yes, but it is different
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: like seeing yourself like on a big HD TV screen. Yes,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: And we didn't have any control over it like on
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: the podcast. If there's something I genuinely unhappy with, we
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: don't put it out right. I know. I just didn't know.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: I just didn't know. But telling you, uh, I was
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: happy how I came together. Me too. I did not
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: hate it.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: So thank you super Delicious TV for yeah generous edit. Yes, yes, yes,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: for sure, for sure. Do you have any final thoughts
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: on the reunion as a whole.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: I thought it was a good time. I thought fans
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: of the show will enjoy it. I think it's worth
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: giving a watch if you like the show, if you
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: want one more glance at the guys. I liked the
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: little peak behind the curtain when Jonathan was like, oh,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: these two became buddies and these two are friends, and
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: it's some of these unexpected pairings like Logan and Jake.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: I thought that was nice. Yeah. Same. Okay, let's talk
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: about us. Okay, I'm sorry that was so wame. You
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: can turn the podcast off now if you want to,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: if you don't want to hear about our experience. But look,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: we had fifteen seconds of fame and we're going to
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: enjoy it, Yes, exactly.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: First, can I just say across the board, the crew,
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: the producers, Delicious TV. Everybody was kind, welcoming, helpful. They
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: treated us like we belonged there. That is not something
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: you forget. It made the experience ten times richer for me.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I have a video clip of me saying, everyone here
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: is so nice to us because we were there for
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: many hours ten I think and ten or twelve. Yeah,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: a lot, coming and checking in with us, asking us
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: if we needed anything. It was your expression treated us
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: like we belong was absolutely accurate. Hallmark staff, all the production,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: everybody can we talk about Jonathan Bennett and how he
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: treated us. Yes, the day for me was made the moment.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: It's early in the day. We're in the green room
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: kind of just like getting our bearings, and Jonathan comes
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: in and goes girls gone Hallmark, gives us a hug.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Is warm and lovely, and Jonathan is not just the
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: host of this show. Jonathan is the heart of this show.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: You see it, But then when you watch, he's taking
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: care of the guys. He's working with the directors, he's
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: having ideas, he has input on all of the dialogue
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: that's happening. But throughout the day he checked in with
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: us over and over and over again. Before he went on,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: He's like, Hey, no big deal, whatever happens. If you
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: don't like it, we just do it again. You've seen
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: how many times he just put us completely at ease.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: I agree, And like you said, it's not something that
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: I will forget. You remember the way people treat you,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: and he made it. You talk about you hear the
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: guys say like Jonathan was always checking in with me.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Jonathan was making sure we okay. That is who he
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: is on set right right. I have two things to
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: say here. I don't want to diminish like what we do.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: But we are moms who podcasts from the kitchen table. Yes, right,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: So we were like kind of fish out of water
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: in this experience. Absolutely, and they just they just like
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: held our hand the entire time and was like it's
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: no big deal. Like like you said, like He's like, hey,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: if it messes up, we'll just do it again.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: It's not a big deal. And you and I I
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: think we're like, oh my god, we got to be perfect.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: We got to like nail it for them, because what
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: an opportunity for us to be here for our for
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: our brand, you know, for Girls Gone Hallmark, for for
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: all of it. So like I think we wanted to
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: bring our best, but they were they were so just
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: like here's a gentle place to land if it if
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: it doesn't work out for how you want it to
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: work out.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Like we will help you through it.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: They were so incredible, including Jonathan I mentioned earlier my
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: daughter was with us. He was so friendly to my
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: daughter too. He doesn't have to be you know what
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, he didn't have to be so friendly to.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Us, Like whoa, he's doing one hundred things that day?
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, the last thing I want to say about Jonathan,
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: and I'm not going to get into the details, but
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: the man is.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Wickedly funny, hilarious, huh hilarious with a potty mouth.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: I will never repeat what this man said, but man,
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: he made me laugh all day long, all day long.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I mean I do have video clips and
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: one of them he leans and he's like, and we're
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: not going to use that, right. It just is so funny,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: so funny.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: And can we also mention his husband James was there
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: and their dog Brad, and my favorite dog, James equally
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: as nice, so friendly, lovely.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: You know who we are. No, and it didn't matter.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: He just was like engaging and it was.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: It was so great. We were just hanging out in
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: the green room with the dog Brad and he's.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Just like on set, loves everybody truly. As the owner
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: of two terribly behaved dogs, I appreciate when someone has
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: a dog that's just just everyone's best friend. That was
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: so much fun. I want to talk about the set.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you mentioned it earlier about it being like like
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: it was the real deal, Like when we walked in.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Let me set it up. We were in Burbank. Is
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: that right, I think Glendale, Okay.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: And and it's it's like a warehouse basically you go
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: into these like small office spaces and then behind it
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: you walk. It's very dark and very cold, and there's
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: millions of dollars.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Of camera equipment everywhere.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: And they had built this stage that was so incredible.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: I was like, my took my breath away, to be
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: quite honest, like, I was like, oh, this is legit.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: We're not just like sitting in some sort of like
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: thrown together, you know, reunion set. They had this screen
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: behind them. I can't even imagine what that costs.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: He was just thinking about that.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: I watch a ton of Housewives, Andy Cohen does it right,
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: a reunion?
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Right? And it it Legit looked like that. Absolutely, it
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: looked like a Bravo reunion. I was so impressed, so impressed.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about how the day unfolded for us.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: We got the opportunity to participate in the press line
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: where we got to chat with the guys. Yes, going
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: into it, we were asked by Homemark pr like, who
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: do you want to talk to? Can you tell them
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: who you asked for? Okay, well let me set it
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: up first. My entire vibe the entire day was I
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: don't want to inconvence any anybody, So that was how
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: I approached anything. So when they said who do you
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: want to talk to? I took that to mean you
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: can't have everybody, like pick a few. So, having seen
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: the first two episodes, our list was, of course Jonathan
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: rust In because he came out the gate making a
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: big impression, Robbie my number one from day one, Gabriel
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: and Davy because they came in as buddies. And then
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: we said the winner, if possible. We didn't know what
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: information we were going to.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Have access to at this point. Yes, this is an
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: important point going into it. We did not know who
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: had won.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: No. First of all, before we get to where that
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: comes into play, the first duo they send us is
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Davy and Gabriel. And look, these these two men are
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: so much better looking in person than they are on television.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: And that is saying something, Yeah, Meghan, I will never
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: forget these two. I M I had a loss for
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: words right now, Like when they walked up to us.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: First of all, they're both so tall, huh, and both
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: so incredibly handsome, Like it took my breath away. I
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: was like, oh my gosh, oh my god. And no
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: chill at all. No, no, we had I had no chill,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: none whatsoever. But not only being tall, dark and handsome,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: they were so incredibly nice. Yes, every single one of
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: the guys was so nice, but every guy was nice.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: For these guys to be the first ones they looked
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: us in the app, they hugged us when they came
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: up there. You remember that, yes I do, yes, I do.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: But they were just so nice. And it was early
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: in the days. Everyone was still really happy to be there.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: I'm sure the guys that we interviewed after the reunion
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: wrapped were like, although they were lovely to us, but
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: I'm sure by their mind they were like, let's just
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: get this done. But truly it set the tone for
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: There were so many tone setting moments for the day,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: but that was that was nice. The guys weren't like,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: let's get through this press line.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Like, who are these chicks. This is not People magazine again,
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: we're podcasters with a Hallmark movie review podcast, you know,
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: like they treated us like we were they're writing a
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: Vanity Fair article. Like they were so nice. The guys
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: were so nice. Now, like you mentioned, we had only
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: seen episodes one and two, and you know, truth be told,
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Gabriel is not the strongest actor, right, and so I
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: was like, okay, but seeing him in person, like he
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: won me over in person. He was funny, he was humble,
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: he was self deprecating. He made me root for him
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: in a whole new way after that day on set.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: One percent the most endearing moment for Gabriel. Do you
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: know what I'm about to say? Yes, I do. I
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: think it happened when we were on set. They were
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: resetting to like get a pickup shot of something, and Gabriel,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: I don't remember how it started, but he was like,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: were you so shocked to see when I was eliminated?
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: He just laughed out loud because look, we've said it
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: a million times. Gabriel charmed us, but he wasn't the
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: strongest on the show, and he knew it and then
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: he owned it. He made that reel where he like
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: forgot his lines. I just loved it, Like there was
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: something about that moment when he was like, yeah, I
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: was really shocking when I went home, huh. It just
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: it was perfect, I know.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: And I remember when we like set on set for
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: our little portion of the show and he like grabbed
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: my hand.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: It didn't make the reunion, but I was like, oh
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: my god, oh my god, real cute, just like a
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: we got you moment. Yeah, I just I just loved him.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: I loved him. So they send us Craig next, and
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: they have not told us anything, so at this point
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: I assume, oh, they're just gonna send us everybody. So
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: we do a little interview with Craig. Wendy asked him
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: to do a little Santini. It's real cute. And then
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: they say, who do you want next? And I go, oh,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: wait a minute. Then I didn't know how to ask
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: the question. I was like, what are you sending us
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: everybody or only the people we asked for? And she
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: was like, well, what do you want? And I was like,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm trying to ask, is is the
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: something we should know about Craig? And they're like, oh, yeah,
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: he wins. Yeah. It was just so like yeah, just
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: ask us like yeah he won, and we're like oh oh.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: And I remember, like I think I turned to him
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: and I and went, oh shit, you won, like I.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: Was because Craig doesn't make it.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, other than Santini at this point in episodes
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: one and two, like we don't know yet.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: I didn't know him. He wasn't on my radar.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: There wasn't that moment in the season where you're like, oh,
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: he's the clear winner or whatever, you know, like Jonathan
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: in our interview with him, Jonathan says, and I know
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: you already put this reel out, but like he was like, yeah,
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: there is a moment where like I was like, yeah,
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: that's that's the guy. And but for us, we hadn't
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: seen that yet. No, So I was genuinely shocked to
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: learn that Craig won.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: By the way, do you think that moment is the
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Hunter King episode? Oh? Yeah yeah, So I said, can
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: we have another minute to Craig because we didn't ask
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: him the single thing. So we're gonna have this interview
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: where we're like, can you do Santini bae? Like, So,
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: then I wonder if I wonder if he was thinking, like, wow,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: they didn't ask me any questions about like winning well,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: and he who knows what they knew that we knew too,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: So yeah we did. And then they told us what
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: movie he was in, and so we we then chatted
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: with him about the experience. I will say that had
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: we seen more of the season, you know, we would
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: have potentially asked different questions. But we got some great
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: moments with the guys, I mean we could. We only
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: had what we had, right, Yeah, and we got to
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: talk to Robbie, we talked to everyon. We ended up
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: we ended up talking to everybody, which was great. Yeah,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: it was great. I'm glad that that worked out the
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: only reason we didn't put everybody on our list was
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: because we were just trying to be easy, just trying
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: to blend into the background and not cause any problems
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: and please invite us back because we're reasy to work.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly exactly. But I'm glad that we did take
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: advantage and talk to everybody. Like you said, we'd had
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: to Robbie next. And Robbie's eyes are so stunning in person,
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: and even and I don't even know if I don't
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I've talked about this anywhere other
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: than just to you, but like during our conversation with Robbie,
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: I asked him if he knew who Andrew McCarthy was. Now,
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: I'm a gen xer. Andrew McCarthy was in all those
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: John Hughes movies, like, we know who Andrew McCarthy is, right, Yes,
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: I feel like their eyes look so much alike. And
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: then I asked him. I was like, oh my god,
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: your eyes. You remind me so much of Andrew McCarthy.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: And I was like, do you know who he is?
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: And he did not, and I felt one hundred.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Years old in that moment.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: I was so embarrassed because I always feel like I
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: did this too. This is such a side note.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: I did this too.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: When we talked to Kimberly sasaid, I told her she
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: reminded me of somebody and she didn't know who that
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: person was. And I was like, God, I have to
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: stop making these references because these people don't know who
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about. Because I'm one hundred, I forget that
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: everybody is younger than I am. We got to talk
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: to Angel. He was warm and kind, and he got
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: interrupted and was like so nice and came back and
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: was like, oh, let's pick up this conversation that we
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: were having. We weren't even like interviewing him at that moment.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: I don't think. I think we were just chatting. Yeah,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: we were just talking. He came back it was very sweet.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: He is exactly who he is on television exactly we
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: chatted with Logan. Logan was more reserved than I thought
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: he would be. It was also our seventy five of
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: the day for them.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: But yes, I agree, Jake was great, happy, friendly, exactly
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: as I expected he would be.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Jake was so delightful. I still feel like he was
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: gone too soon, and I think we could have gotten
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: He just is the sweetest man.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: At the end of the night, we did talk with Rustin. Yes,
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: and I just remember I don't know if I was
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: like had crashed out, Like had I mentally hit a
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: wall at that point because we had been there so long. Maybe,
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: but I just remember it was like, I have no questions.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: I was fully I have that on video. Oh my god,
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: I'm so embarrassed by that. Like I'm not good at
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: interviewing guys. Hello, We've established this in the five years
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: we've been doing this podcast. But I'm like I said,
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: like the man that stood be before us was not
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: the dude I saw on TV.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: Like it was wild to me and I could not
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: get that out of my head. Yeah.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I was feeling a little embarrassed because Rustin
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: was my favorite. Like going into the show and I
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: was like leaning hard into like rock star Santa a
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: little bit, and I was objectifying him in my brain
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: and like I was like, is it written all over
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: my face right now?
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Yeah? Yeah, we had.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: Marcus, and Marcus is just as handsome in person, Like
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: that smile is incredible.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: He was so nice. And let me say this about Marcus.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: We asked him what the hardest challenge was and he
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: talks about the one with his mom. We had not
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: seen that episode yet, and now having seen it, I
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: feel like, oh my gosh, Megan, like you asked him
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: this question, he didn't know, we didn't know, and he
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: gives a lovely answer and talks about how that was,
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: you know, working with Sharon Lawrence. It's a very nice
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: interview clip. It's on our Instagram right now. You should
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: check it out. But rewatching it, it kind of was
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a gut punch. We also talked
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: to Drake and let me tell you in person, Oh yeah,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: Drake has this like Golden retriever energy. He's the puppy
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: energy man. Yes, he's the youngest guy on set. He's
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: just he's just so sweet and innocent and pure. I
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: really I liked Drake I meet you.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: I like Drake a lot. He showed up in this
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: black suit with like a black undershirt that was like
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: on but ben halfway down his chest. And then I
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: think at one point because he is from the Denver area,
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: and I was like, my sister lives in Denver, Like
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: I was in my mind trying to set them up,
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: like I, guys, don't ever bring me to.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: A set again.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: If this is this is what's gonna happen, I'm glad
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: I kept it professional. Jeez, Louise, because in my brain, Oh,
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: I have a huge regret from the day. Okay, we
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: did not get to meet Melissa Peterman.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: I know that is my biggest regret too. And she
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: really was like she was in hair makeup. They ushered
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: her on set, she did her bit, she was out.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Everyone else was there all day long. So I know,
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: I wish we had gotten to say hello.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: I know it's stung a little bit, but I wasn't
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: gonna be like, excuse me, I would like to meet
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: Melissa Peterman right That would have been a huge highlight though,
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: So I'd sad about that.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: Are there any other highlights of the day for you.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a huge one which you can see on the
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: reunion when we come on set and they do that.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: Whole weekorthy bit. I don't know who orchestra Ustin started it.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: If you look at it, Rustin's the first one and
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: they all I think it was spontaneous because if you
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: watch it, rust And starts and everyone joins in. I mean,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: thank you for that.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: I mean they don't know who we are, guys, But no,
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: it was great. They know how to make a person
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: feel good. Indeed, Yeah, that went. Honestly, that segment went
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: better than we could have expected. We talked about how
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: Jonathan was like, no big deal, We'll just do a retake.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: It was a one take. Yeah, so should we give
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: the behind the scenes about like how we had to
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: come up with the questions.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: And yeah, it was kind of funny because Jonathan was like,
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: they're asking the questions that no one else is asking.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: Let's be very clear, like all reality television. We sent
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: in a big long list of questions and then they
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: knew what was gonna work with, what they were already
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: talking about, what they needed, what they were okay with. Right,
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: So we went on set with six questions that were
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: preapproved by a number of people, and three made it
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: to air. Yes, I'm happy with three. I'm happy too.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: I'm happy too. Now let's talk about the Gabriel dancing scene.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: It's one of the favorite things that happened. I it does.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: I mean it.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: I think it plays funny on TV in the reunion,
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: But being there that day, I've been sweating thinking about this.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: Moment because what you don't see.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: I like, okay, so I can't remember. The question is
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: about like who's the gaster, who's the most Yeah, in
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: the downtime and Angel's like, oh, Gabriel's dancing, right, So
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: Gabriel jumps up and you know, does like a cute
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: dance and in behind him, I'm like right.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: In the poem like like it's my segment too, Like
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: I'm I O, my god.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: The way I remember it is not flattering. I think, God,
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: I'm cut out of that. I don't know how they
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: did it.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: Well, if you recall, they did field in Gabriel dancing twice. No,
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: I don't remember that. Yeah, they wanted him to do
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: like a little bit longer. So it's oh, I don't
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: remember that at all. Yeah, So that maybe what happened.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: It could have just also been two different camera angles,
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: because when he's dancing, it's only him, and then they
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: cut to us kind of like laughing.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: So let me be fair. I'm not like behind the
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: man like it's not inappropriate. You're just embarrassed that you
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: like went with the moment you got.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: I went in the moment. I think it's fun moment.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: The moment, yeah, because you know I'm not fun. It
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: was fun fun yet, No, it was fun. One thing
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: that got cut from the episode Jonathan gave us a gift,
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: which was real cute. We got Christmas ornaments with his
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: face in them. It is hanging on my upstairs tree.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: I'm curious if those photos, because they took they obviously
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: the video won't make it, but I'm curious if those
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: photos will make it onto the press site. I was
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: just gonna look right now. Actually there is photos of us. Yes,
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: oh my god.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: Anyway, in that dance scene too, Davy does some I
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: don't even know what they call it, the reindeer or something,
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: a happy reindeer.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: Jonathan goes Davy happy reindeer, and Davey drops to his knees.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: Real funny.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: It made a cut to our faces. Like I was like,
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: oh my god, of both of us. Yeah, oh my gosh,
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: so funny, so funny. It was such a fun day.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: It was so fun. It was a fun day. And honestly,
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: this is so stupid, but I love when they cut
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: to us leaving the stage. It's such a fun clip,
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: like you turn around and wave, but I'm kind of
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: like jogging off. It's it was a good day. It
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: was I turned around and waved. Yeah, Oh my gosh,
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: I don't remember that at all. I'm gonna have to
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: go back and watch that. Like why were they why
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: did they Why did they include that clip of us
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: like walking off? I wonder. I don't know, but I
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: think it's cute, okay.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: And then we got to stick around like after that,
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: we could have left, but we weren't done with all
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: of our interviews, and Jonathan was adamant that he wanted
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: us to talk to everybody.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: We got everybody, and man, we just flew through those
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: final interviews.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: We're like, will be quick one and then I did
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: I hope that didn't come off as like rushed and
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: hurried with the guys, but like at it was like
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: ten o'clock at night at this point, and everybody wanted.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: To I was just trying to honor their time, sure,
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: but they were like, no big deal, we got nothing
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: my time. They kept the charm turned up to level ten.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: I would like to say, I would like to say,
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: I hope our listeners don't think like we had duped
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: them at all during the season during reviews, because it's
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: obvious we knew who won, but we're not going to
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: give that information up.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: Everything on my part was truly it was a genuine reaction,
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: genuine reaction. Absolutely. Yeah. I was able to put all
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: that away and then just live in the moment of
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: each episode, and I had genuine feelings about who was
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: going home and who wasn't, and who was doing well,
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: and that was all real for me as well.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: To be honest, I couldn't remember who the final three were.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: No me either, and until like we got down to it,
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: and I was like, okay, because I think you and
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: I had this conversation about the final three and I'm like,
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: but wasn't it so and so and so and so
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: and so and so And You're like, no, it's so
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: and so, so and so.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh yeah. In fact, when Davy got eliminated.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: I was shocked, so I wasn't like, oh, in my mind,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: I kind of let it go the order of the eliminations.
