  Speaker 2: I'm loving this whole adventure opportunity. Yes, to just be
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: part of something so beautiful and it was amazing.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Last night was amazing and really fun.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: And to connect with everybody in the Bachelor Nation and
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: to see Gary and Teresa so happy, and they walked
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: in this morning and they're like, you know, they're just
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: settling in and finally together.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So yeah, it's beautiful. Little because I was gonna say,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: because the night before we were talking and the feelings
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: are still there. You can't just shut off feelings, right.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: It's perplexing to me because you know, right from the
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: get go, Gary and Teresa and I would talk on
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: the phone when it was out that they were together,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: and I, ahead of time, love them both, and you know,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Teresa and Gary and I are very transparent with our feelings.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Teresa'd be like, he loves you so much, and I'm like,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: I love him too, and I love you and we're
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: gonna be friends for life, right, And They're like, yeah,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: so we call and check in with each other all
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: the time. Very sweet, but I'm you know even that
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: still I would be like so excited, so happy for them,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden I had to go
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: in the bathroom and cry for a little bit. And
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: then then I would come back out and I would
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: tell Teresa a text her tell me how happy you
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: are and how great this is going to be.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Because then my heart will heal.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Every time I talk to her or him and hear
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: about the hope for their future, my heart got.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: More and more healed.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: But you know, it's still a little bit because I
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: so was so in love with him, and I don't
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: know that I would ever find those qualities in another manner,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: you know. So I felt the loss for sure, but
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: I'm super excited for them both.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Do you feel like when you came on the show.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Do you feel like you were very hopeful you found
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: it and your heart was broken? Yeah, do you feel
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: that that hope was diminished at all? You know, I
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: think that.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: You go all in with your heart, you know, you
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: go all in, and I think an immediate reaction is Okay,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: I'm you know, I'm done. I'm just gonna I'm just
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: gonna be done. You know this, this didn't work. I'm
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: just gonna be done.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: And then when you.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Think about it and you really let it sink in,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: because initially, when your heart's broke, of course you go there.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: You know, you're kind of like, okay, I'm done.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: That was so yeah. Yeah.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: But then when I think about it, I think, you know,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: the fact that it allowed me to feel again and
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: to know that.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: I had heart that.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: That wasn't dead inside, that I actually could muster up
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: those feelings and I have that in my heart made
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: me think, okay, I am still alive and really, yeah,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I just got to look at it differently, So, you know,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: it takes a little prodding every now and then I think, yes,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: I'm going to get back out there and start, you know,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: trying to date with purpose and find my person. But yeah,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: of course when you get your heart broke, that's the
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: first defense. Of course, of course I am hopeful for
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: the future because it is like grieving. You go through
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: the stages of grief, you get angry or denial, you know,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: all of those things, and I just hope you get
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: to the place where you truly feel like I feel
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: like I will. I you know, I'm hopeful. I haven't
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: been on a date yet or anything.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I have flirted a little bit.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Okay, go, I have somebody that I was really really
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: flirting with a little and I actually was feeling like, yeah,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: it would be so fun to meet up with that mu.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, who lives in your town? No? No, did
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: you meet through GM. I'm not going to say, oh,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: it might be somebody we know it might be.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: But here's the thing, you know, and to clarify, so
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: I never said I wouldn't move. I said I said
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: it's important that a person knows my pull to my community,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: to my kids, to my grandkids, Like, I'm not gonna lie.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: I'm not a person that could see their kids twice
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: a year.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: That's not me.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: I would share time. I would love to get an
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: RV and travel between two places. I'd love to live
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: in a central location that was warm and sunny in
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: the winter, and you know, I would love to just
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: have that with somebody that I was in love with. So,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: you know, you just never know how that looks back.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: You just never know. Yeah, okay, well I'm going to
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: be very on the edge of my seat. Yeah me too,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Me too. What happened? So? Did you have fun? I
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: do close it down.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: No, I didn't close it down because you know, I've
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: learned my lesson with that.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I knew. We had the brunch, but I did dance
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: for two hours.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: The band was amazing, amazing. Yes, now, let me clarify
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: the band at the second reception. Okay, the first one,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: but the Yeah, the band that we all saw in
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: our private reception was amazing. They played oh yeah, so yes,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: me too. I danced for like two hours, and then
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: they were going to serve dinner and I'm like, I
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: want to get out of my clothes and I want
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: to wash my face, you know, So so I did.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I went home and just hung out and then the
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: party crew got the party got over it.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know what timeh and I went to bed
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: at midnight.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: I think everybody was partying outside my doors what they
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: were doing, but that was okay too.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I slept right through it. It was so much fun.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: I love a wedding because I love first and foremost,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: but I love a wedding because it's like celebratory. And
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: as you might have seen last night, my husband was
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: you know, he does not like.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Doesn't You're sitting at the table that I was at,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: and you were off dancing.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: As per usual. That's my groove, Like I just I
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: was a dancer. I love being on the dance floor
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: and just letting loose. And it was the night to
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: do it because that band great exercise. Yes, exercise, that's
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: so true. I was actually there were so many songs
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: that and it's not just the dancing part, like singing
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: these songs. Yes, we know all the words.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: I'm saying some of those songs in my band, so
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: I was like singing right.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Along with them, Like that's crazy. I should have gotten
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: you in the mic. Oh no, you know what I
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: got to say? What's so fun?
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: And I know this sounds crazy, but the younger generations
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: of all the Bachelor nations, Yeah, I am in love
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: with all of them and Braiden's proposal.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, so there are mixed reviews out there about
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: the proposal. So so, like Ben earlier, we were talking
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: about this and his wife had called him and said
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: that she didn't think it was appropriate that you were
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: that someone got engaged up stage. You know, I would
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: let go of that.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: You're like whatever, you know, love is a beautiful thing,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: no matter where it's at. I highly doubt that that
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Teresa and Gary feel upstage right. I would say that's silly.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: But everybody's entitled to their room feelings. So I thought
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: it was so beautiful because it is so real and
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: so gorgeous, and to see Braden go through his journey
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: and find her and they are just I love them,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: and you know, so fun to see Dawnton and cheering,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: and then all the beautiful couples and all the beautiful
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: people on this show that are just, oh my gosh,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: just amazing people.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: It's so fun.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: I've just fallen in love with all these younger generations.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Love love, love Rachel. And what a badass she is.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: She's a pilot. Oh my god, she's brilliant, she's gorgeous,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: and how has she not found love?
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Right, but she will, she will, she will. It's coming.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: All those all those people who have paved the way
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: for her, She'll find She'll find them. I guarantee it. Yes,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: I love the family. It's beautiful. And what's funny is
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: I'm flashing back to when I came to the Bachelor
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Mansion and met you for the first time, and you
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: were like, yeah, I.
• 8:36
