Speaker 2: So it was an awesome wedding. I mean, honestly, I
0:30
Speaker 2: said this to my wife Kenyon about one hundred times
0:33
Speaker 2: that weekend, but I was just like, if Lauren Zima
0:36
Speaker 2: could be any sweeter of a human being, I mean,

0:42
Speaker 2: So we get to town, we get to Austin, Texas,

Speaker 2: things that I don't know if you went through this, Twista,
0:49
Speaker 2: but I definitely did. Where my canyon was like is
0:54
Speaker 2: so and so coming and so and so coming? I'm like,
0:56
Speaker 2: I don't know, It's like, what do you mean you
0:58
Speaker 2: don't know? I go, well, I don't really want to ask,
1:00
Speaker 2: because if they're not invited to Christ, he wasn't inviting everyone,
1:03
Speaker 2: like I don't want to be you know, hey, you're
1:05
Speaker 2: not going to harrison'sbody was wrong with you, guy. So
1:08
Speaker 2: I was more of the you know, i'll see when
1:10
Speaker 2: I get there. I knew you and I would be there,
1:12
Speaker 2: of course, but you know, I was just so I
1:16
Speaker 2: loved the guest list, I guess is the best way
1:18
Speaker 2: to put it. You know. And you get there and
1:21
Speaker 2: we get a notification from Lauren, you know, about a
1:24
Speaker 2: week in advance, maybe a little bit longer, that she's
1:26
Speaker 2: going to have us all over to their house on
1:27
Speaker 2: Friday night, all the Bachelor peeps. And so it was
1:31
Speaker 2: a really awesome reunion, wasn't it. I mean it was
1:34
Speaker 2: just as good as it could get.
1:35
Speaker 1: So fun. Yes, So yes, I went into it wondering
1:40
Speaker 1: and I got a list from someone else of all
1:45
Speaker 1: the people who were going, but I don't know if
1:47
Speaker 1: it was definitive. So I was just I was just excited.
1:51
Speaker 1: I mean, there are a lot of people in this
1:53
Speaker 1: group that I had not met before, and I can
1:56
Speaker 1: get into that. So that was really fun. But honestly,
1:59
Speaker 1: the the foundation of adult was obviously the wedding. Oh yeah,
2:03
Speaker 1: and that wedding, and mind you, we went into it
2:08
Speaker 1: not knowing that there was going to be a wedding,
2:10
Speaker 1: So we went into it thinking, at least I think
2:13
Speaker 1: this is what you probably thought, and all of us thought,
2:16
Speaker 1: is we were just going for a party. It was
2:18
Speaker 1: just going to be a reception. There was not going
2:21
Speaker 1: to be a wedding. And we're standing there and thankfully
2:26
Speaker 1: Caitlin and I were standing like right toward the side,
2:31
Speaker 1: so like the stage is here and we're like over here,
2:34
Speaker 1: and we kind of just like they announced that they're
2:37
Speaker 1: going to be there, so we were like right in
2:39
Speaker 1: the front of where they were walking down the aisle.
2:42
Speaker 1: And then when they after they walked down the aisle,
2:45
Speaker 1: when they were saying their vowels, Caitlin and I like
2:48
Speaker 1: really like got great. We were literally front row, which
2:52
Speaker 1: is crazy to me that, you know, like we got
2:56
Speaker 1: cause I'm please, I'm I'm really short, so to be
2:59
Speaker 1: able to you through that huge mass of people was amazing.
3:04
Speaker 1: But I do have to say the foundation of it
3:05
Speaker 1: all was the wedding. Such an incredible surprise to actually
3:10
Speaker 1: get to see a wedding, and there was something about
3:15
Speaker 1: it that I just I think I've told people it
3:18
Speaker 1: was just full of joy. They are so in love
3:22
Speaker 1: and truly it was like inspiring to witness, Like their
3:28
Speaker 1: vowels were just so heartfelt and so like tear provoking,
3:34
Speaker 1: and it was just like it was so beautiful. It
3:39
Speaker 1: was just a beautiful ceremony.
3:41
Speaker 2: I agree, I agree a thousandfold. And where you were standing,
3:45
Speaker 2: you could see Lauren's face right because I was basically
3:48
Speaker 2: across from you. Also first row right up front, which
3:52
Speaker 2: was I don't even know how that happened, And I
3:54
Speaker 2: could see Chris's face and I just got so emotional.
3:58
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's because I've we've known him
4:00
Speaker 2: for twenty years. I don't know if that's it, and
4:02
Speaker 2: we've never seen him like this. I mean, he's always
4:04
Speaker 2: been a great guy, and he's always been funny and
4:07
Speaker 2: you know, had that sarcastic wit about him and everything else.
4:09
Speaker 2: But to see him with someone who is equally as
4:14
Speaker 2: funny and charming and talented, and it was, you know,
4:19
Speaker 2: like I was watching his face and I was like,
4:22
Speaker 2: he get choked up. They gonna get choked up talking
4:24
Speaker 2: about I would get choked up. My wife, Kanyon knew
4:27
Speaker 2: I was getting choked up, so she's turning her camera
4:29
Speaker 2: on me, you know, and I was just it was
4:32
Speaker 2: just one of those moments where it was like, you know,
4:34
Speaker 2: you watch someone that you've known for a long time,
4:36
Speaker 2: and I mean, you know, let's be honest, it's gone
4:38
Speaker 2: through a lot over the last few years, and I'm
4:40
Speaker 2: sure we'd try a lot of relationships and test a
4:43
Speaker 2: lot of relationships, and the two of them came through
4:46
Speaker 2: it even stronger and even better. I mean, God bless him.
4:49
Speaker 2: I was so honored to be there and I love
4:52
Speaker 2: our little crime. I was like, really, all right, so
4:58
Speaker 2: I'm just reading in the chat right now, are pretty
5:00
Speaker 2: just told me that Chris said on his podcast that
5:03
Speaker 2: I had the best dance moves. Okay, I don't know
5:07
Speaker 2: that I agree with that, but I know I know
5:10
Speaker 2: that my wife does not agree with that. But I
5:12
Speaker 2: would say, uh, first of all, there was some there
5:16
Speaker 2: was a lot of Danny Terryot style moves going on,
5:18
Speaker 2: a lot of disco type of moves, which I love.
5:21
Speaker 2: But I got to go with Ben Higgins. I gotta
5:23
Speaker 2: go with Ben Higgins in the Awkward Robot as the
5:26
Speaker 2: best dance moves.
5:26
Speaker 1: On the dance floor, and not even just the Awkward Robot,
5:29
Speaker 1: like I think both of us were standing right there
5:33
Speaker 1: when he was in his full element, like and there
5:37
Speaker 1: is a video, there is a v remember who posted it?
5:40
Speaker 1: But there is a video.
5:42
Speaker 2: I think I think I want to say that Ashley
5:46
Speaker 2: actually I posted it.
5:47
Speaker 1: I think you're right. I think it's Ashley.
5:49
Speaker 2: Oh it was. It was really good. Oh Ari also
5:53
Speaker 2: posted it, so yeah, you check out Ari and Ashley's.
5:55
Speaker 2: But I think Ashley's always got a front row seat
5:58
Speaker 2: to those dance moves. And she told me, she's like,
6:00
Speaker 2: you know, just wait, it's common. He's gonna start feeling
6:03
Speaker 2: that music any minute.
6:04
Speaker 1: Oh he did. He was feeling it all right.
6:09
Speaker 2: What else what? I've also really loved about this whole situation,
6:12
Speaker 2: And this happens sometimes, as we know, as everyone knows,
6:15
Speaker 2: it doesn't have to like be that you're part of
6:17
Speaker 2: a show like this to have something like this happened.
6:19
Speaker 2: But group texts start up, right and our little group
6:23
Speaker 2: text that's going on right now is epic and it's funny,
6:26
Speaker 2: and it's like, you know, I just I guess I've
6:30
Speaker 2: always sort of felt like and I mean, you and
6:32
Speaker 2: I have talked about this privately, and maybe we've talked
6:34
Speaker 2: about on the show too, But I have always felt like,
6:37
Speaker 2: you know, oh man, I'm so removed from it that
6:39
Speaker 2: no one knows who I am anyway, you know, like
6:41
Speaker 2: I know the fans know, but and it was just
6:44
Speaker 2: really nice to have people like Jojo, who I've always
6:47
Speaker 2: liked from the show quote to me like, oh my god,
6:49
Speaker 2: I finally get to meet you. Oh you know, it
6:52
Speaker 2: was really sweet. You know, it's really nice to meet her.
6:54
Speaker 2: It was really nice to put some names, some actual
6:57
Speaker 2: contact with faces and names that I've known that I've
7:00
Speaker 2: never met. Yeah, you know, I've never met Coulton, I've
7:03
Speaker 2: never met Jordan. It was really nice.
7:07
Speaker 1: Oh, I loved that. I'm just so sad I didn't
7:09
Speaker 1: get a picture with Coulton. I was so he was
7:12
Speaker 1: sitting at our table, and that's one little thing that
7:15
Speaker 1: I wish I would have taken a few more pictures.
7:17
Speaker 1: I mean, I obviously with all the all the people
7:20
Speaker 1: who were there, we were you know, we got a
7:22
Speaker 1: lot of pictures and the photographer was amazing. But I
7:25
Speaker 1: do have to say, yes, I met a few people
7:28
Speaker 1: too that I had never met before. Number one being Wells,
7:31
Speaker 1: who like is kind of iconic to the brand and
7:34
Speaker 1: or the franchise. And I absolutely loved our conversation, like he's.
7:41
Speaker 2: Just met him before, No, I've never met him.
7:44
Speaker 1: Just so intellectual, like he really does just know the
7:49
Speaker 1: franchise so well and has such good takes and opinions.
7:53
Speaker 1: And then meeting Sarah, who his wife. Like. So, we
7:59
Speaker 1: were at and Lauren's house for Friday night, our little
8:04
Speaker 1: like bachelor kind of pre party, if you will, and
8:08
Speaker 1: I walk outside. At one point, Caitlin and Sarah were outside.
8:12
Speaker 1: I walk outside and Sarah gets up out of her
8:15
Speaker 1: chair and she goes and starts running towards me, and
8:21
Speaker 1: she starts like voguing. So there's a there's a video
8:25
Speaker 1: that Caitlyn posted that's like of her and Sarah voguing,
8:28
Speaker 1: and I was I took that because it was kind
8:32
Speaker 1: of like they were repeating what Sarah had done outside.
8:34
Speaker 1: So I walk outside. Sarah is flipping out and she
8:38
Speaker 1: starts like voguing and stuff, and I'm just doing a
8:41
Speaker 1: little twirl and a dance, and I'm like, Caitlyn, why
8:44
Speaker 1: didn't you record that? I wish I would have had
8:46
Speaker 1: that on video, just that moment of us meeting, because,
8:50
Speaker 1: as you know, she explainedth that she her and her
8:54
Speaker 1: mom were huge fans of ours. They watched my season.
8:59
Speaker 1: I believe yours too, so they were big fans of yours.
9:02
Speaker 1: She's like, I called, I spoke to my mom yesterday.
9:05
Speaker 1: She says, HI, Like, it was just so sweet, because
9:10
Speaker 1: it's just crazy, Like I used to watch Modern Family
9:14
Speaker 1: and I was a huge fan of hers, and then
9:17
Speaker 1: to be able to meet her through this whole Bachelor,
9:19
Speaker 1: It's just so crazy.
9:21
Speaker 2: So, you know, I've known her for a long time.
9:24
Speaker 2: So I met her before I met Wells at the
9:26
Speaker 2: Kentucky Derby. I believe, yes, it might have been twenty fifteen,
9:31
Speaker 2: maybe okay, and Modern Family was still, you know, going crazy,
9:35
Speaker 2: and she was so sweet. She sat at the table
9:38
Speaker 2: next to us. She knew I'd been to a bunch
9:40
Speaker 2: of derbies, so she was you know, we were just
9:42
Speaker 2: hanging out, and I knew she was a big Bachelor fan,
9:44
Speaker 2: and we took pictures for her mom because the story
9:48
Speaker 2: was that you were her favorite bachelor atte and I
9:49
Speaker 2: was her favorite bachelor, and so we remained friendly over
9:53
Speaker 2: the years, and so I reached out to her, or
9:56
Speaker 2: reached out to her, and Wells was like, Hey, are
9:57
Speaker 2: we at the same hotel you know where? And we
10:02
Speaker 2: figured out we were at the same hotel, so we
10:04
Speaker 2: end up there and so we're having cocktails before we
10:07
Speaker 2: go to the pre party and all that kind of stuff.
10:10
Speaker 2: And what was so great about it. She was like,

10:20
Speaker 2: was really excited too.
10:22
Speaker 1: We had the best time. I mean I I loved
10:27
Speaker 1: every moment with her. She's just so full of fun energy.
10:31
Speaker 1: Same with wells I do. It was funny watching the
10:36
Speaker 1: night evolve a little bit. At the end of the
10:38
Speaker 1: night was just he was so drunk and he's like,
10:44
Speaker 1: I need to leave, Like he was trying to pull
10:47
Speaker 1: Sarah away. I think maybe from me and you like
10:50
Speaker 1: at the end of the night and.
10:53
Speaker 2: We have to They never ate. They never ate.
10:57
Speaker 1: You're so right, they never ate, Sarah said. But the
11:00
Speaker 1: line was too long. But oh my gosh, that food,
11:02
Speaker 1: the food, all the people, and Okay, so I want
11:05
Speaker 1: to go to I was on Reddit. I don't know
11:09
Speaker 1: how I got there, but I went to a thread
11:12
Speaker 1: that's on Reddit right now about the wedding and so
11:16
Speaker 1: many people are commenting about how they are, like why
11:20
Speaker 1: are these bachelor people wearing cowboy hats? Like there's so
11:23
Speaker 1: many cowboy hats it's gross or whatever. I'm like, okay, people.
11:27
Speaker 1: So Lauren sends out a thing, you know, an invitation
11:31
Speaker 1: kind of if you will, on text, and she tells
11:34
Speaker 1: us and on their wedding website it says cowboy cocktail.
11:38
Speaker 1: That is what we were given. Those were the instructions
11:41
Speaker 1: we were given. So that is why so many people
11:44
Speaker 1: showed up in cowboy hats. And I have to say Ari.
11:49
Speaker 1: So Ari shows up, and Lauren went so far as
11:53
Speaker 1: to send all of us inspiration pictures. So she was like,
11:57
Speaker 1: this is cowboy cocktail, but however you want to do it,
12:00
Speaker 1: like you just do you right. Ari took one of
12:04
Speaker 1: the pictures. I'm sure you know the story. He took
12:06
Speaker 1: one of the pictures and he said, just put me
12:09
Speaker 1: in this to whoever like styled him, or maybe his
12:11
Speaker 1: wife went and bought it. I don't know, but he
12:13
Speaker 1: literally showed up like the inspo picture, which is amazing.
12:17
Speaker 2: It was great. And he looked awesome too, I mean
12:19
Speaker 2: he looked amazing.
12:21
Speaker 1: I was struggling, ass Pat and the hat.
12:24
Speaker 2: And I didn't notice the inspo photos until too late.
12:29
Speaker 2: Oh and so, and I was really struggling. I'm like,
12:31
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh my god, guys, what am I supposed
12:33
Speaker 2: to wear?
12:33
Speaker 1: It?
12:34
Speaker 2: Like? Do I wear like askless chaps? I don't even know?
12:36
Speaker 2: Like what am I supposed to what if I come
12:39
Speaker 2: in there, I'm like ripped from Yellowstone, I don't know,
12:41
Speaker 2: you know. So I was. I was working through a
12:44
Speaker 2: series of you know, outfits in my head. And let's
12:47
Speaker 2: just say that I went shopping. I bought a lot
12:50
Speaker 2: of things and ended up only wearing stuff that was already.
12:54
Speaker 1: Yeah totally, which is usually what happens. I do have
12:57
Speaker 1: to say, thanks to Caitlin, I actually looked more cowboy
13:01
Speaker 1: cocktail because I just had my Cowboy you know, we're
13:05
Speaker 1: going through this move and I cannot find my cowboy hat.
13:08
Speaker 1: I can whatever. So I had Cowboy foods somewhere in
13:10
Speaker 1: those which is black dress, and I would have been
13:12
Speaker 1: not boring, but I was definitely elevated. So Caitlin and
13:16
Speaker 1: I shared a room this weekend or last weekend because
13:19
Speaker 1: Ryan couldn't come. And that's another thing that's out there
13:22
Speaker 1: is I wasn't Ryan there, Oh my god, are they
13:24
Speaker 1: breaking up?
13:25
Speaker 2: Like, oh my god, I'm like, guys, Ryan has a
13:30
Speaker 2: he had to work beas with the kids. It's like,
13:32
Speaker 2: you know, they have no.
13:35
Speaker 1: No he it actually wasn't like, yeah, he was with
13:38
Speaker 1: the kids, but he is starting this new uh. He
13:43
Speaker 1: started this new protocol, like antibiotic protocol for lime. And
13:49
Speaker 1: he was going to be going to Vegas to cheer
13:51
Speaker 1: on Max at hockey because Max had a hockey tournament
13:54
Speaker 1: that same weekend, so he was booked for that. But
13:57
Speaker 1: when he started this new protocol, he was like, I'm
14:00
Speaker 1: not going to be feeling well. I know it, so
14:02
Speaker 1: just cancel my trip and I'm going to stay home
14:04
Speaker 1: with Blakesley. And thankfully he felt well enough to go
14:08
Speaker 1: to the CU game on Saturday night, but that is
14:13
Speaker 1: why he wasn't there. He thought that he wasn't going
14:15
Speaker 1: to be feeling well and so he wanted to stay home.
14:18
Speaker 1: But they had a cute little moment and I love
14:20
Speaker 1: that anyway, So Caitlin and I share a room because
14:23
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm going to make it a girl's weekend. Caitlin,
14:26
Speaker 1: why do you just stay with me? And she had
14:30
Speaker 1: so much jewelry like, our whole desk was like all jewelry,
14:35
Speaker 1: just to have options, because the girl's got to have options.
14:38
Speaker 1: But she went her stylist is Lee Taylor, and they
14:42
Speaker 1: went to boot Bar and I believe, and bought all
14:45
Speaker 1: kinds of different jewelry and so she was like, whatever
14:48
Speaker 1: you want to borrow. So I ended up borrowing the
14:50
Speaker 1: necklace that I wore and the earrings, which I felt like,
14:53
Speaker 1: we're definitely cowboy cocktail and not something I would normally wear.
14:57
Speaker 1: But when you are told cowboy cocktail, cocktail, that's what
15:01
Speaker 1: you show up in.
15:01
Speaker 2: Well, and they did say we want you to embrace it.
15:04
Speaker 2: So we were all kind of you know, Kenyon and
15:06
Speaker 2: I went to boot Barn actually the night before we left,
15:09
Speaker 2: and she got a ton of jewelry there too. She
15:12
Speaker 2: loved it, you know, got a belt and some boots
15:14
Speaker 2: and she she looked really cute. She had on the
15:16
Speaker 2: kind of like you guys. You guys had similar outfits
15:19
Speaker 2: on color scheme wise, which I thought was pretty cool.
15:22
Speaker 2: So it's still elegant yet at the same time cowboy chic.
15:25
Speaker 2: And yeah, it was pretty cool. Man. It was a
15:28
Speaker 2: good experience. I mean, I just I don't know, I
15:31
Speaker 2: thought everything. They didn't miss a beat, you know, like
15:34
Speaker 2: at the end of the night, the fresh baked cookie
15:36
Speaker 2: truck pulls in. Her mom did, So, what about the
15:40
Speaker 2: gift bags that.
15:43
Speaker 1: I actually showed Ryan, Like, there's a I've never heard
15:46
Speaker 1: of it before, and I wish I knew that vibe. Baby,
15:49
Speaker 1: I think it's fun. A mug that has a speaker
15:53
Speaker 1: like on the bottom.
15:55
Speaker 2: I know.
15:58
Speaker 1: What I really loved, which I can't believe I don't
16:01
Speaker 1: have on yet. I will be wearing it later because
16:03
Speaker 1: I have added it to my daily bracelets that I
16:05
Speaker 1: always wear uh little words projects. So they made bracelets
16:13
Speaker 1: or they had bracelets made for everybody Mine says t
16:16
Speaker 1: loves Are Yeah, I think it's the tea loves are
16:20
Speaker 1: our Love's tea. And and then these really sparkly bracelets
16:24
Speaker 1: and I think I don't know if they were made
16:30
Speaker 1: by the people. So there's a camp that she that
16:33
Speaker 1: Lauren is really.
16:36
Speaker 2: Uh invested in on the on their website if you want,
16:40
Speaker 2: and she said in Lulah Gifts make it. Yeah.
16:43
Speaker 1: So her dad died when she was young, and I
16:46
Speaker 1: believe it's a camp for grieving young adults or uh
16:52
Speaker 1: teenagers or kids. And it was related to the camp.
16:57
Speaker 1: I don't know if the camp was involved in the
17:00
Speaker 1: bracelets or chose them or something. Anyway, I am I
17:05
Speaker 1: love the bracelets. And then they had tons of skincare
17:08
Speaker 1: they had which I didn't end up using, which I
17:10
Speaker 1: should have because I was up until two in the morning,
17:12
Speaker 1: which uh, the under eye and the the go hydrate
17:20
Speaker 1: and the like hangover like your stuff.
17:23
Speaker 2: Oh my, I tried those. We tried you. I used
17:26
Speaker 2: the under iye, puffy cream. I felt like a million dollars.
17:30
Speaker 2: I mean, it's crazy. I just I just thought, you know,
17:33
Speaker 2: I mean, I said it a million times. I'll say
17:34
Speaker 2: it again. And I felt this way after Kentucky Derby
17:36
Speaker 2: spending the weekend with them too. But Lauren is such
17:39
Speaker 2: a u and Chris said it best. Chris was like,
17:42
Speaker 2: you're you're such a magnetic personality and you go kind
17:45
Speaker 2: to people like she doesn't meet a stranger, and it's like,
17:48
Speaker 2: you know, I just she's so thoughtful. And I feel like,
17:52
Speaker 2: like I said it in my little speech I gave
17:54
Speaker 2: at Chris and Lauren's house, But I really I.
17:56
Speaker 1: Missed by the way you missed it, I think, so.
18:00
Speaker 2: I didn't even know I was going to give one.
18:02
Speaker 2: Chris was like, go ahead, Bob, say a couple of words.
18:04
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, okay, and I was like I
18:06
Speaker 2: got this, you know, because I was thinking it, and
18:09
Speaker 2: so I was just really you know, I don't know,
18:11
Speaker 2: I was just really honest about it, I guess, but
18:13
Speaker 2: I was like, I never you know, I've always loved Chris, like,
18:15
Speaker 2: you know, twenty years ago, you know, I meet him
18:18
Speaker 2: on more than twenty years now. Yeah, I meet him
18:20
Speaker 2: on Chris the season of the Bachelor, out of course,
18:22
Speaker 2: and then when they make me the Bachelor, I'm now
18:26
Speaker 2: with Chris again, and I can say, you know, like
18:29
Speaker 2: I didn't think he could get better. I thought I
18:31
Speaker 2: thought Chris Harrison was as good as it gets, you know,
18:33
Speaker 2: I mean, and then now you see him with Lauren
18:36
Speaker 2: and it's like, like you said, Caitlin elevated your style
18:39
Speaker 2: for that night or whatever. Well, I think Lauren elevates
18:41
Speaker 2: Chris and he really takes him to this place that
18:45
Speaker 2: he's so comfortable and so in love and so feels
18:47
Speaker 2: so much support. Yeah, it's just this. I mean, I
18:51
Speaker 2: don't know, I just loved it. I mean, I walked
18:53
Speaker 2: away from that wedding and I was like, man, I
18:56
Speaker 2: feel like, I don't know that I've ever been to
18:58
Speaker 2: a wedding that I felt like.
19:00
Speaker 1: It was.
19:00
Speaker 2: It almost felt like they thought more about us than
19:03
Speaker 2: they thought.
19:03
Speaker 1: About Yeah right, Yeah, it's just really touching. So it
19:08
Speaker 1: was very touching. I do want to address there's a
19:21
Speaker 1: lot of stuff going around about Caitlin and Jason, and
19:25
Speaker 1: I'm not going to talk too much about it. Obviously
19:27
Speaker 1: I shared a room with her, and you know, she's
19:31
Speaker 1: a good friend. Jason's a friend as well, and so
19:35
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not going to talk about it.
19:37
Speaker 1: It's their their business. They can share about it if
19:39
Speaker 1: they want to. But I will say that we had
19:44
Speaker 1: the best time after the wedding. We so all everybody
19:48
Speaker 1: had left. It was like the three of us in
19:51
Speaker 1: the parking lot with Chris and Lauren and his kids,
19:55
Speaker 1: and they are loading stuff up into the truck and
19:57
Speaker 1: Joshua's coming up to him going Okay, yeah, can we
20:00
Speaker 1: take a load to your house because everyone's waiting. We
20:03
Speaker 1: just want to get out of here or whatever, and
20:05
Speaker 1: they're literally waiting for us because we missed the shuttle
20:08
Speaker 1: back to our hotel. Oh yeah, so we're all We're
20:13
Speaker 1: just standing out there and I'm like, okay, Well we
20:15
Speaker 1: get back to the hotel because Jason was staying there too,
20:20
Speaker 1: and we ended up at the bar with another like
20:23
Speaker 1: group of people from a wedding that was there, that
20:27
Speaker 1: was at the actual hotel, and they had someone singing
20:33
Speaker 1: in the bar, like doing live music. And so we
20:37
Speaker 1: get there and we are dancing. I have the funniest
20:39
Speaker 1: video of Caitlyn dancing around like doing the waltz like
20:42
Speaker 1: of course as she does, like totally dancing. We were
20:46
Speaker 1: dancing and I don't know if you remember this moment
20:48
Speaker 1: at the wedding where the was it called the Little
20:52
Speaker 1: Wedding Band. I think that there the Little Wedding Band
20:55
Speaker 1: who crushed it. They were playing Zombie Cranberry's Zombie, right.
21:01
Speaker 1: Do you remember this moment? I mean I was. It's
21:04
Speaker 1: so funny because on the dance floor, like I just
21:09
Speaker 1: I think I had told Jade and Ashley we went
21:11
Speaker 1: shopping the day of the wedding on Congress Street or
21:15
Speaker 1: Congress Road or whatever it's called. And I don't know
21:18
Speaker 1: how it came up, but I said that my superpower
21:20
Speaker 1: was remembering words to songs, so like it that's like
21:26
Speaker 1: all I remember. I don't remember anything else except words
21:29
Speaker 1: to songs. And so I'm standing on the dance floor
21:32
Speaker 1: like next to I think it was Kelly Travesty and
21:35
Speaker 1: Tasha and Jojo and Jess and like a bunch of
21:40
Speaker 1: people anyway, and Jade was actually there, and I'm singing
21:44
Speaker 1: like all these songs. Tasha's like, this is my first
21:46
Speaker 1: trist experience, and I'm looking at it so funny. We
21:51
Speaker 1: have never met before, either Tasha and I. So I
21:54
Speaker 1: am just like singing like every word to every song.
21:57
Speaker 1: It was so much fun. And Zombie comes on and
22:00
Speaker 1: I like kind of lost it. I am so thankful
22:03
Speaker 1: that no one recorded this, and if they did, please
22:05
Speaker 1: do not release this footage because I was screaming my
22:08
Speaker 1: freaking head screaming songs. And and then we get to
22:17
Speaker 1: the bar afterwards, the three of us and she played
22:20
Speaker 1: or I should say they played Zombie again. It was
22:25
Speaker 1: playing like that night. I don't know what it was
22:27
Speaker 1: about the Cranberry's that jam. We were jamming out to
22:31
Speaker 1: Zombie again. So we had the best time afterwards at
22:34
Speaker 1: the bar. At one point Jason ordered Papa John's to
22:38
Speaker 1: the bar.
22:39
Speaker 2: That's funny, so.
22:40
Speaker 1: Funny and thankfully for that. I think that's probably why
22:44
Speaker 1: I didn't need that like hangover the hangover stuff, because
22:49
Speaker 1: I had peeped at like one in the morning, and then.
22:52
Speaker 2: I ended up missing you. You ended up I didn't
22:54
Speaker 2: realize that you came over to join us at brunch
22:56
Speaker 2: until I had already left. I wish I would have
23:01
Speaker 2: known you were coming. We would have stuck around, but
23:02
Speaker 2: we are wed. We went up with a friend who's
23:04
Speaker 2: opening up a bunch of new properties in a opening
23:09
Speaker 2: a bar or two two kind of like bar environments,
23:13
Speaker 2: and then one really cool restaurant environment, and so we
23:16
Speaker 2: wanted to go see the properties before we left. So
23:19
Speaker 2: that was that was the only reason we weren't still
23:20
Speaker 2: there when you guys got there.
23:22
Speaker 1: No, we were. We just kind of woke up really
23:26
Speaker 1: slowly and laid in bed for at least an hour,
23:31
Speaker 1: just kind of scrolling looking at pictures from the night before,
23:35
Speaker 1: and then at one point it just hit us like
23:37
Speaker 1: a mac truck that we were both like, we need food.
23:41
Speaker 1: I am starving, and so she reached out to people,
23:44
Speaker 1: and I knew you had said that you guys were
23:46
Speaker 1: going to go to brunch, but you were going at
23:47
Speaker 1: like eleven, and I don't think we actually ended up
23:50
Speaker 1: getting out to brunch until like one. So I was like,
23:54
Speaker 1: there's no way he's still there.
23:56
Speaker 2: I think, you know what I mean.
23:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, it was a great place. It was a
24:01
Speaker 1: great little place. Sarah, Yes, Pekan Square. And actually it's
24:07
Speaker 1: really funny. I was she she had talked to Wells
24:10
Speaker 1: and she was like, Pekan Square I think, And I
24:13
Speaker 1: was like, no, I think, Bob said Pekan Squirrel Cafe.
24:16
Speaker 1: She's like, yes, you no, not.
24:20
Speaker 2: One of the odds that there'd be a Pekan Square
24:22
Speaker 2: and a Pekan Squirrel probably each other.
24:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, so fun, Oh my gosh. And I do have
24:30
Speaker 1: to say also it was kind of fun. I noticed
24:34
Speaker 1: a guy there that I was like, Okay, either I've
24:37
Speaker 1: met him before or I've seen him on television, And
24:40
Speaker 1: so I asked Karen H. Harrison's assistant who he was,
24:45
Speaker 1: because I was like, I have to know. I'd like,
24:47
Speaker 1: it drives me crazy if I know, I if I
24:50
Speaker 1: think I know someone and I don't know. And it
24:52
Speaker 1: was for anyone out there who watches Young and the Restless,
24:55
Speaker 1: his name is Nick. I believe his character so Nick
24:58
Speaker 1: from Young and the Restless was I can't remember his
25:01
Speaker 1: real name.
25:02
Speaker 2: I love seeing Sage Steele. I haven't seen Sage in
25:04
Speaker 2: a long time. Oh my gosh, I'm so.
25:06
Speaker 1: Mad I didn't get to say hi to her. I
25:09
Speaker 1: saw her talking to someone and I was like, Oh,
25:11
Speaker 1: my gosh, isn't that who Chris has done Miss America
25:14
Speaker 1: with or whatever?
25:16
Speaker 2: Yes, So she's so awesome and I loved that I
25:20
Speaker 2: got to see her. And you know what I was
25:22
Speaker 2: gonna say to back it up just one second about
25:25
Speaker 2: the about the Caitlin and Jason thing. You know, I
25:29
Speaker 2: will say this. I think it was amazing how they
25:34
Speaker 2: handled themselves. And so I just want to say that
25:37
Speaker 2: part about it to kind of if anybody's looking for
25:40
Speaker 2: a narrative they want to latch onto, there's one for you,
25:43
Speaker 2: because you know, you when you're engaged to someone or
25:48
Speaker 2: you know, or marry. I mean, I've been I've been
25:49
Speaker 2: at weddings of friends with my ex wife being there,
25:53
Speaker 2: and yeah, thankfully our relationship is really nice also, you know,
25:58
Speaker 2: and and I thought for them to be at the
26:01
Speaker 2: same function, it had to bring up a lot of emotions,
26:04
Speaker 2: and they both handle themselves really really well, and I
26:07
Speaker 2: think really well. I think that's that's there's a lot
26:10
Speaker 2: to be said about that. And I mean, if people want,
26:12
Speaker 2: I don't really go in any of the chat rooms
26:13
Speaker 2: because I'm probably getting murdered in all of them anyway
26:15
Speaker 2: if they're even talking about me. But I always think that,
26:18
Speaker 2: you know, at the end of the day, the thing
26:19
Speaker 2: that to really kind of think about is it's going
26:22
Speaker 2: to be really tough when you've had like that kind
26:24
Speaker 2: of wound exposed and you're in this environment that you
26:27
Speaker 2: were thinking you were going to be in with that
26:28
Speaker 2: person at one point and now they're and.
26:32
Speaker 1: That it's a wedding, And she brought that up to me.
26:35
Speaker 1: She's like, I think it's also going to be hard
26:37
Speaker 1: because you're like you're watching someone get married and you
26:44
Speaker 1: no longer have that in your maybe immediate future, you know,
26:48
Speaker 1: so and especially the person that you were going to
26:50
Speaker 1: be getting married to is there. So I agree. I'm
26:54
Speaker 1: really proud of them both. I think that it wasn't
26:57
Speaker 1: about them at the wedding. It wasn't about them at all.
27:00
Speaker 1: It was totally Chris and Lauren and just everyone collectively
27:05
Speaker 1: having fun together. So I yes, I think you're right
27:10
Speaker 1: if you need to latch on to anything. People who
27:13
Speaker 1: are listening latch onto the fact that they it was
27:19
Speaker 1: a fantastic wedding and they both had a great time too.
27:23
Speaker 1: I know they would say the exact same thing.
27:25
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. I've talked with Jason in tact with Jason,
27:29
Speaker 2: you know, a bunch since the wedding, and he's just like, God,
27:32
Speaker 2: it was the greatest weekend, you know what I mean,
27:33
Speaker 2: we all had. I mean, and like I said, Lauren,
27:37
Speaker 2: you know, hats off to Chris and Lauren for being
27:39
Speaker 2: just amazing hosts. Yea for a bunch of people coming
27:42
Speaker 2: in for i mean, two hundred fifty people at a
27:44
Speaker 2: destination wedding, you know, for most of us anyway, it
27:47
Speaker 2: was a destination and to feel like you know, I mean,
27:51
Speaker 2: I really it was kind of funny. I think I'm
27:54
Speaker 2: trying to think who said it. It might have been
27:56
Speaker 2: Ben Higgins actually who said it to me, which was
27:58
Speaker 2: really funny. But I was like, hey, are there brunch
28:01
Speaker 2: plans on Sunday? And then texts me back and he goes, well,
28:04
Speaker 2: I'm sure if you want to, you can just go
28:05
Speaker 2: over to Christ's. He'll probably whip you something up.
28:07
Speaker 1: I'm like, you're so right, although they didn't have a
28:10
Speaker 1: brunch that that day. With Like, as we're standing in
28:14
Speaker 1: the parking lot after the wedding, he was I was saying, so,
28:20
Speaker 1: what are you guys doing tomorrow? Like, please tell me
28:22
Speaker 1: that you get to sleep in and you know whatever,
28:24
Speaker 1: and he's like, well, we're housing a branch at my
28:26
Speaker 1: house for forty family and friends or whatever.
28:30
Speaker 2: That's so funny. He had the drug line somewhere. I
28:33
Speaker 2: do love their house too, though, gorgeous.
28:36
Speaker 1: Oh it's so pretty, the views, it's so pretty out
28:39
Speaker 1: there almost makes me want to move to Austin. So
28:44
Speaker 1: I got to meet Becca's girlfriend, Hayley, who I adore.
28:48
Speaker 1: She is so incredibly sweet and just welcoming. I feel like,
28:54
Speaker 1: even though it wasn't her wedding, I just felt like
28:57
Speaker 1: she was just welcoming to me and just kind. And
29:00
Speaker 1: then I got to meet Colton's husband, and that'sand and
29:06
Speaker 1: I just love it because I I love that they
29:10
Speaker 1: are so happy like they are. They could not keep
29:14
Speaker 1: their hands off of each other. So I love that
29:17
Speaker 1: he is married. They were telling the story about how
29:20
Speaker 1: they got married, and it was something about like how
29:24
Speaker 1: roe versus Wade had been overturned or something, and so
29:27
Speaker 1: they thought, and I totally could be getting this wrong,
29:30
Speaker 1: but they thought that next thing to come was for
29:34
Speaker 1: them to ban gay marriage. And so I think that
29:39
Speaker 1: they literally like did it super quick, like the next
29:42
Speaker 1: day or something. So the fact that they are married
29:48
Speaker 1: and very happily, so just I love that, you know,
29:51
Speaker 1: I can say that it's his husband. I just I'm
29:55
Speaker 1: just so happy for him. So he's always just so classy.
30:00
Speaker 1: And I don't know, whenever I met him, we did
30:03
Speaker 1: an event in New York together for to Be and
30:08
Speaker 1: he just always seemed happy, right, yeah, I mean, at
30:11
Speaker 1: least in person. I don't know. He's always got a smile,
30:13
Speaker 1: a big smile on his face and just always so sweet.
30:17
Speaker 1: So that was really fun. I was standing there talking
30:30
Speaker 1: to Colton and Jordan and Payschack comes in and they
30:38
Speaker 1: haven't seen each other since I think his season and
30:43
Speaker 1: I know, and so Tayshack comes up to him and
30:46
Speaker 1: she like kind of you know, turns him him around,
30:48
Speaker 1: and she's like, and I have to talk to you.
30:51
Speaker 1: And then she looks at me and you and she's like,
30:53
Speaker 1: and you because we haven't met yet. But I like they,
30:57
Speaker 1: you know, they hug or whatever, and I was like, WHOA,
31:00
Speaker 1: Like I need to step away because they need to
31:05
Speaker 1: have a moment. This is kind of an iconic moment,
31:07
Speaker 1: you know that. I'm sure a lot of people would
31:09
Speaker 1: be like.
31:10
Speaker 2: What were they saying?
31:11
Speaker 1: They were on the wall, Yeah, it's so good to
31:14
Speaker 1: see you kind of thing.
31:15
Speaker 2: So oh my god, yeah.
31:18
Speaker 1: So fun. I mean, we could go on and on
31:20
Speaker 1: and on, but yeah, I just feel like, I it
31:26
Speaker 1: was such a beautiful wedding. It was such a beautiful wedding.
31:30
Speaker 1: I'm so glad. Oh have I met Jess before you may?
31:34
Speaker 2: I think you met her briefly at the Janner wedding back.
31:38
Speaker 1: In the day the JA Yes, okay, yes.
31:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, because but but she adores you, and she literally
31:44
Speaker 2: was like I love her. She was like, I can't
31:46
Speaker 2: wait to see trist again. She's like, I hope she
31:48
Speaker 2: goes I I you know, She's like, I don't really
31:50
Speaker 2: feel like we got to spend any time together the
31:51
Speaker 2: last time we saw each other. I'm like, well that
31:53
Speaker 2: was pre COVID. So that it was kind of funny
31:56
Speaker 2: because when Jadon Tanner came in, I was like, you know,
31:58
Speaker 2: I was just really surprised. I wasn't sitting at the
32:00
Speaker 2: family table at your wedding because I had never met them.
32:02
Speaker 2: When I was at their wedding was I was like,
32:07
Speaker 2: the Bacheler world, do you have to invite me to
32:09
Speaker 2: your wedding? You know right?
32:11
Speaker 1: I actually was joking with them about how I first
32:14
Speaker 1: met them. It was like in the lobby of their
32:17
Speaker 1: that gorgeous hotel they had their wedding at, and I
32:20
Speaker 1: was like, Hi, we're Tristan and Ryan. It's so nice
32:23
Speaker 1: to meet you.
32:24
Speaker 2: And we're really nice to meet you here at your wedding.
32:27
Speaker 1: But Jade had said that she we brought it up
32:30
Speaker 1: this weekend and she was like, I was just so
32:33
Speaker 1: honored to have you there and so excited to have
32:35
Speaker 1: you there. I'm like, I mean so sweet. Just the
32:38
Speaker 1: Gorgeride anyway, it was just it was just beautiful. Honored
32:44
Speaker 1: is definitely a word that I feel like, just honored
32:48
Speaker 1: to be included because I do feel like it's funny
32:51
Speaker 1: because with The Golden Bachelor like airing right now, I
32:58
Speaker 1: feel like talking about out things that are or issues
33:04
Speaker 1: for like older people, if you will, and I kind of,
