• 0:40
  Speaker 6: She's already started.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: When did the two of you find out this was
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: going to be your role?
• 0:47
  Speaker 6: I think like a few weeks ago. It's kind of
• 0:50
  Speaker 6: like a brief short notice and we're like, okay, we're
• 0:53
  Speaker 6: going all right.
• 0:56
  Speaker 5: I was like, where are you I'm going to be
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: on January fourth, and can you come and help us out?
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: Sure?
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: What do you need?
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: Amazing? Literally and you didn't know it was coming, like
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: there was no warning.
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: No, and like I.
• 1:09
  Speaker 6: Think, no, they had asked me and then they didn't
• 1:14
  Speaker 6: tell me that Kathy was gonna be with me initially,
• 1:18
  Speaker 6: so then I was like okay, like is it by myself?
• 1:20
  Speaker 6: And then They're like, no, it's going to be with
• 1:22
  Speaker 6: a golden lady. And I was like, I'm trying to think,
• 1:24
  Speaker 6: like who is it? Yep, it was literally only you
• 1:27
  Speaker 6: that I can think of, because I was like, I
• 1:29
  Speaker 6: was seeing you guys because.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Your mouth is there there. I started Kathy about this
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: last night.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: M M.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever had the experience. How do
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: you mentally prepare for live television? Like being on TV
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: you've gotten used to both of you have all you know, Drista,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: it's not a big deal, but live TV, I feel
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: like mentally i'd be kind of it'd be a different ballgame.
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: Well, and also so I've done a little bit of
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: corresponding stuff like Back in the Day, Good Morning America
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: and Extra and whatever, a bunch of other stuff, and
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: I think live red carpet stuff is actually really difficult,
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: like the stuff that when we're getting interviewed, right, you're
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: talking about your life. Yeah, I mean, hello, you're an
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: expert on Everyone is an expert in their own life, right,
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: so you're interviewing other people. So I feel like for me,
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: the experience was harder. The cameras didn't matter to me
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: because I was used to that stuff, right, But it's
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: like talking to other people and trying to get their
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: personalities to come alive, right, instead of just answering questions
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: about their life. Right, do you feel did you have
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: fun with it? Did you enjoy it?
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: I did? And I like to like go off of that.
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: I think for me that was like probably harder, Like
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: I can talk, I can speak, but like to like, no,
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: you only have short amount of time and you know
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: you're trying to like get a feel for someone's personal
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: like you know who you probab will be going to interview,
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: but even then in that moment, you don't know what
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: to expect or what you're going to get. Kathy, I
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: will say, That's why I said you crushed it, because
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: like you're so good at like just being like witty
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: and like quick, and I was like, you know, trying
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: to still get a feel, and so that was something
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: I was like stepping into. But it is hard. It's
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: like you don't really you can't really prepare for it.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: And following a script. Yeah, you know, you have the
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: prompture in front of you, and you can you know
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: what your lines are going to be essentially, but sometimes
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: your mind doesn't.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: I went to your mouth.
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: In my mind truly, when I said last night, I
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: wasn't sure what's going to come out of my mouth.
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: I mean, that is the truth for me always, But
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: I didn't for me, I didn't think about live TV.
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: I just thought, I'm talking to my friends that i've met. Yeah,
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: and if you're for me, if it's if you're yourself
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: and you make the other person feel comfortable, it's going
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: to go well.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, true story.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: What a place to be on live television not knowing
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: what's coming to your mouth.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: I don't know what's coming on that mouth half of
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: the time. So I'm with you.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: I want to phrase this question for you, Kathy, because
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: after last night, I do believe the internet said you
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: did a great job. I think they are thrilled with
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: the two of you and think it was really fun.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: But there is this side of it where the comments
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: are like, how like why would Kathy agree to do
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: this job at Teresa's wedding? After you guys kind of
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: were known for the battle during the show right where
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: the words were said. Can you just give our listeners
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: a perspective of where that relationship stands today and why
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: you said yes to doing this at her wedding.
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: So Teresa and I truly are very good friends. I mean,
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: we sent them a wedding gift.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: I talked with Teresa on the phone. I talk with Gary.
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: They are lovely people. It was such a minute part
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: of the whole of the whole experience. And coming here
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: and seeing them be so happy. I jumped the chance.
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: I love to celebrate love, their love, my love that's coming,
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: you know. So it was just such an opportunity. And
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: of course Bachelor franchise and meeting all these wonderful people. Honestly,
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: it's just been a gift for me.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: It's a gift that's awesome.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: So there was never like there was you know, it
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: was such just like you said in my new issue,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: there was never this like I can't do that because
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: we can't stand each other.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: We love each other and we talk.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: On the phone and we you know, I was with
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: her when she went for her wedding dress shopping. It's just,
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: you know, sometimes in the moment, something happens and it's
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: just it's just.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: That it's a moment.
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And seeing their faces and getting hugged, giving her
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: a hug and getting a hug, it was just great
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: to you know, resume that friendship.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks for the explanation, because you know, I think
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: I think that's how it felt last night. You know,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: if you were there, you felt the celebration. Prombody there
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: was never like, you know, we just had leslie in here.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: You know, if anybody would feel weird about being here,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: it would be her. And she's like, no, I want
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: to be here to see my friends. Yeah, but also
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, totally.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: So Charity.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: How are things with your very tall man? He is
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: the sweetest guy ever? I love him? How are they?
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: Things are actually great? Obviously, like we just wrapped up
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: dancing with the stars. But when I say like that
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: in itself was its own journey. But like obviously our
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: relationship still being like semi fresh in the public eye,
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: Like he is just truly the best person. He's so supportive.
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: I could have not done any of that without him, truly,
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: and just for us to kind of still be in
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: a place where we're just he's a nurturer, that's who
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: he is at his core. And you know, we're still
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: building our relationship every single day. That's never going to stop.
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: But we're in just such a great place, like after this.
• 7:02
  Speaker 6: We're going to New York that's where we'll be at.
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: And I'm just like getting settled for the first time,
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: having our own place.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: And are you getting a place together? Like you're choosing one,
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: not one place that one of you have.
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: So it's all new and it's just us like moving
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: in for the like.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: It's always together.
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: So it's just like a really happy chapter in our lives.
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: And you know, I'm just now being able to like
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: also start wedding planning, so it's just all exciting. Like
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: we're doing so good and he is great. So I
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: love you guys, I'll see that in him too.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Turned around last night, I said, this is stupid, Like
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: he's tall, looking and super smart, like nobody should have
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: all three of those.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: I know, I feel like I found somebody like that, But.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: I used to be the tall guy. Here you have
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: he walks. I'm now like not even talking kind of
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: thing I want to do here.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: As we close up with the two of you, Trista,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: this has worked for you, Yeah, very much.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: So your two kids are here. Charity, you're just getting
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: started in your relationship.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just is there any like if Charity were to
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: ask you the question, how do I make this now work?
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Like now right after Dance with the Stars so crazy?
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: You know, I know the two of you are doing well,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: but like I've been in a bachelor relationship, there's difficulties
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: around every corner unexpectedly. So Trista, if you were to
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: give her those like one piece of advice to make
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: this thing work and push it to a healthy place
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: from here on out, what would you say?
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: So, I will say so I did Dancing with the
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: Stars too, but it was a really long time ago
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: and we had I was the first season. They called
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: and they were like, we want you to be on
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: a ballroom show. I'm like, what are you doing? Is
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: that a thing? And now it's a really big thing
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: in America. But like I had a partner who wanted
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: me to be very like connected and sensual and whatever,
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: and I'm like, I just got married.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: Like three years ago.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: It was so uncomfortable. But we had already had like
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: a couple of years off the show, right, And so
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: when I heard that you were doing it, I was like,
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: just no, no.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Why are you doing it?
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: I don't want it to ruin your relationship. And I
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: have to say that I think that you've done an
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: amazing job. I know, we talked last night about how
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: grueling it is physically, like having to be there every
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: freaking day, like you are going NonStop, NonStop, So that's
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: really hard to maintain a relationship. And you guys looked
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: so happy last night, like so happy, and I'm just
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: I think that you've already started the good stuff. So
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: you are planning on getting a place together in New York,
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: and I think that's a huge step forward. And so
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: that would have been like my piece of advice is
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: try to like focus on each other. Yeah, obviously it's
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: kind of like in any relationship, right, if you want
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: the relationship to flourish, you have to give it attention
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: and put an effort, right. But I think also just
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: in general, like you always hear the piece of pieces
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: of advice, like you know, communication and trust and honesty
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: and yes, of course all of those things you need
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: to have part as part of your relationship. But also
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: I feel like what I've learned over the years is
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: forgiveness and not what you're thinking like necessarily like a
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: big like you know, infidelities and stuff like that. It's
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: more like the every day if I say something to
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: hurt Ryan's feelings if he says something or does something
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: or whatever that like just make me put me in
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: a bad mood. I'm having a bad day. He's not
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: being especially supportive because he doesn't feel good or whatever
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: is happening. Like the tiny little forgiveness is throughout the day,
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: throughout the week, throughout your your life together as a couple.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: I think it's really so important to remember to always
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: come back yeah to each other and what you found.
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: That's so beautiful. And I think that's like also something
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: I don't think I hear that often. It's like always
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: the other things, But like that's a really good one
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: because I think when that is in place, it can
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: obviously not lead or not, it can help eliminate like
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: things growing into bigger things. So I really appreciate you
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: telling me that, and thank you.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Well, you got a big chapter in front of you, Charity.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: You had a busy year, you had a lot going on.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Last night was a success for for Kathy and Charity.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: You crushed it. I think, yeah, according to the internet.
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: Say that, what I just heard was you can't have
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: a good relationship if you're not the Bachelor rep and
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: you're not on Dancing with the Stars, Unscrewing's still.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: A chance for you. Dance with the Stars Texas, Texas
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: two step, be careful.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Dance with the Stars might just be that close and
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: it's a whole new ride. Anyways, Congrats in the success
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: for the two of you. I hope you have a
• 12:06
