1:08
Speaker 2: the mature crowd to because I know we talked about
1:12
Speaker 2: at the beginning of the season.
1:13
Speaker 3: I was super excited about it cause I thought it
1:15
Speaker 3: was like the right.
1:16
Speaker 2: Thing to do people who weren't motivated by an Instagram
1:19
Speaker 2: you know account selling tooth whitening strips.
1:21
Speaker 3: Like I'm wearing right now.
1:24
Speaker 2: Get them at tristasaturndareen dot com.
1:28
Speaker 3: But uh, because I don't sell anything, so I don't
1:30
Speaker 3: know how.
1:32
Speaker 2: But anyway, yeah, I feel like it's one of those
1:34
Speaker 2: things that like, this was a promising start, you know.
1:36
Speaker 2: And yeah, I've been watching some of it here and there,
1:39
Speaker 2: and there's been a there's been some drama moments. There's
1:41
Speaker 2: a few that are stirring up the sauce and drinking
1:43
Speaker 2: the kool aid that I'm sure the producers are still
1:45
Speaker 2: putting in front of them.
1:46
Speaker 3: So we got that. But it's not like.
1:49
Speaker 2: Seasons past, right, there's still a very sincere not that
1:53
Speaker 2: there hasn't always been a sincere lead, but there's a
1:55
Speaker 2: guy there that is just about is as pure as
1:59
Speaker 2: the driven, right.
2:00
Speaker 3: I mean, I love you, I love you so wholesome.
2:03
Speaker 1: Yes, I love I love this season. I Mean, we've
2:08
Speaker 1: had a lot going on, so I haven't been able
2:11
Speaker 1: to watch with like my friends are getting together in
2:14
Speaker 1: Denver on Thursday nights to watch and I just so
2:18
Speaker 1: happened to be in Veil packing up this week, and
2:23
Speaker 1: so I got to get together with my pickleball friends
2:26
Speaker 1: because I was the first on the pickleball date. So yes,
2:29
Speaker 1: I being able to meet Gary and the and the ladies.
2:34
Speaker 1: You know, however long ago that was when we filmed
2:36
Speaker 1: a month or two. It definitely like I want to know,
2:41
Speaker 1: like what's going on kind of behind the scenes of
2:44
Speaker 1: what I didn't get to see in person. But I
2:49
Speaker 1: love the show. I really truly feel like it is
2:54
Speaker 1: just since like you said, sincere and mature and and
3:00
Speaker 1: authentic and and he is just so freaking wholesome. And
3:07
Speaker 1: I knew that the country would like root for him
3:10
Speaker 1: and get behind him, or at least I hoped, And
3:14
Speaker 1: I think that's what's happening. I mean, from what I understand,
3:18
Speaker 1: the ratings have been awesome and right, I didn't know, yeah,
3:24
Speaker 1: I think so. I mean I don't know the numbers
3:26
Speaker 1: for sure, but I know that, yeah, people have been
3:33
Speaker 1: more so than recent past seasons getting behind the show
3:38
Speaker 1: and watching. So but yeah, I was like, you know,
3:41
Speaker 1: what should we talk about? Kind of what I saw
3:44
Speaker 1: and what happened, because, as you know, as all of
3:48
Speaker 1: us who have been watching the show for a while,
3:50
Speaker 1: no or be part of the show, so much of
3:54
Speaker 1: the show ends up on the cutting room floor, especially
3:57
Speaker 1: this season, because they're I think it's only an hour?
4:00
Speaker 1: Was it an hour? Hour and a half? I can't
4:02
Speaker 1: remember if I.
4:03
Speaker 3: Think it was an hour. I mean, I didn't see
4:05
Speaker 3: the whole thing.
4:06
Speaker 2: I haven't made it through an entire episode yet, not
4:09
Speaker 2: due to not wanting to. It's just that I have
4:11
Speaker 2: a four year old to two year old who I
4:13
Speaker 2: was just going to say, refuse to let me watch TV.
4:15
Speaker 1: Daddy duties. Yeah, I get it. So because it's only
4:21
Speaker 1: an hour, they have to cut out so much and
4:24
Speaker 1: I I showed up, and oh my gosh, it was
4:28
Speaker 1: just so much fun walking into the mansion, knowing that
4:30
Speaker 1: they had no idea that I was there, and from
4:33
Speaker 1: what the producers had said, every single one of them,
4:37
Speaker 1: not maybe not every single one of them, but whenever
4:41
Speaker 1: they asked, they were asked to who their favorite bachelorette was,
4:47
Speaker 1: or who they watched or you know that kind of stuff,
4:49
Speaker 1: it was it was me and.
4:52
Speaker 3: That we were on Yes, you're the Queen.
4:55
Speaker 1: Well, I think it's just because this demographic, Like I mean,
5:00
Speaker 1: I have a lot of older women, especially followers, who
5:04
Speaker 1: I feel like watched the show back when we were on,
5:08
Speaker 1: and it was kind of their intro into the show there.
5:13
Speaker 1: They kind of, like we've said in the past, they
5:18
Speaker 1: don't necessarily relate as much to the twenty somethings and
5:21
Speaker 1: thirty somethings, so you know, they they followed it way
5:26
Speaker 1: back when. So to walk into the house and like
5:29
Speaker 1: have them get so excited.
5:32
Speaker 3: I was like a fan event. It was like a
5:34
Speaker 3: trust a fan event, right, you walk.
5:35
Speaker 2: In through, it was O God, it was so cute
5:40
Speaker 2: except Gary, except Gary except yeah, right year He's like, so.
5:44
Speaker 3: Are you a producer? What are you?
5:46
Speaker 1: I know, are you on the social media team? So
5:50
Speaker 1: April and Faith had no idea who I was. They
5:53
Speaker 1: were like, I don't think they watched the show. So
5:57
Speaker 1: I had to explain to them what, you know, my
6:00
Speaker 1: story was. But we actually talked for quite a while.
6:04
Speaker 1: I want to say I was there for like twenty
6:06
Speaker 1: minutes some at least, and they asked me questions and
6:11
Speaker 1: I got to kind of hear what had happened with
6:14
Speaker 1: the dates and at least the most recent dates and
6:21
Speaker 1: really just get to know them a little bit, which
6:23
Speaker 1: was so much fun. I really love all of them.
6:29
Speaker 1: I had no idea that there was any drama at
6:32
Speaker 1: all going on between Kathy and Teresa and zipp It.
6:39
Speaker 1: What was that?
6:39
Speaker 3: Like, I I was.
6:42
Speaker 1: Gosh, this is I wasn't really a fan of that.
6:46
Speaker 3: No, I wasn't either.
6:47
Speaker 2: You can't be you know, and I think I'm sure
6:49
Speaker 2: she's lovely, but you can't you know, you can't be
6:52
Speaker 2: doing that to a you know, someone of your own age.
6:55
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't even do that's my kids. Yeah.
6:58
Speaker 1: No, And honestly, I don't feel like Teresa there was
7:02
Speaker 1: no ill intent. She was just sharing her experience and
7:06
Speaker 1: not saying anything about like, well, I've got this connection
7:11
Speaker 1: and you don't. I think it was just Kathy taking
7:14
Speaker 1: it personally. But the fact of the matter is she
7:19
Speaker 1: signed up for a show where he was dating multiple
7:23
Speaker 1: other women, Like I don't know, I just I kind
7:26
Speaker 1: of felt like, that's that's silly. And Teresa is so
7:29
Speaker 1: incredibly sweet.
7:30
Speaker 3: Like you probably have a couple of favorites, don't you.
7:33
Speaker 3: From being there and meeting.
7:34
Speaker 1: Them, I did. I loved Nancy. I did not see
7:40
Speaker 1: what happened to her foot. Do you did you see
7:41
Speaker 1: what happened to her foot?
7:42
Speaker 2: No?
7:43
Speaker 1: I didn't see that, so she left. I loved Nancy.
7:47
Speaker 1: I love Susan. She is just so sweet and so
7:50
Speaker 1: supportive of the other women. I love Faith. She really
7:55
Speaker 1: like they did not show her really at all on
7:58
Speaker 1: the pickle date, I felt like, but I felt like
8:02
Speaker 1: she really went for it and she had never played before,
8:07
Speaker 1: which I loved. And then Sandra or Sondra, Sondra maybe
8:12
Speaker 1: she had two knee replacements and she was like our
8:16
Speaker 1: VIP that day for the Piccabell date. She really went
8:21
Speaker 1: went for it too, played really hard and played really
8:24
Speaker 1: really well and had so much fun with it. And
8:28
Speaker 1: I love her sense of humor. She's she's actually really
8:31
Speaker 1: really funny. So and then the best part kind of
8:38
Speaker 1: of that day well, and also I love Leslie. She
8:42
Speaker 1: did she was on the one on one, so she
8:44
Speaker 1: wasn't on the date that I was on, but we
8:45
Speaker 1: got to she was, you know, on the couch when
8:49
Speaker 1: we were talking, and I just love her. She seems
8:54
Speaker 1: so youthful, even though she's sixty four. She seems so
8:59
Speaker 1: youthful and wanting to stay out of the drama. Like
9:04
Speaker 1: you know, she was just so supportive and and kind
9:08
Speaker 1: when I walked in, and just seemed so happy to
9:12
Speaker 1: be there. Yes, and really enjoying getting to know Gary.
9:17
Speaker 1: So and then did you.
9:19
Speaker 3: Take it easy on them?
9:20
Speaker 2: I feel like you took it easy on it because
9:21
Speaker 2: you you're pretty athletic, and I could see you.
9:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, you could have gotten in there and whooped up
9:27
Speaker 3: on them.
9:29
Speaker 1: I thought that I was going to play, but me
9:33
Speaker 1: and Joey were kind of their coaches, so we were
9:35
Speaker 1: like helping them learn the game.
9:38
Speaker 2: Oh, I was under the impression that you played probably
9:40
Speaker 2: off camera and they just didn't show it.
9:42
Speaker 1: And that's what I was so, so while we were
9:45
Speaker 1: waiting for something to happen, I was like, I want
9:48
Speaker 1: to play, and Gary was like, let's play. So Gary
9:51
Speaker 1: and I started playing, and then we ended up playing
9:53
Speaker 1: two of the producers. They joined in and me and
9:57
Speaker 1: Gary crushed him.
9:58
Speaker 3: Nice to say that you hadn't seen it on the show,
10:02
Speaker 3: but trust me, it happened.
10:04
Speaker 2: Me.
10:05
Speaker 3: I knew you. I knew you'd be good at that sport.
10:07
Speaker 1: It's so much fun. I'm actually playing in an hour
10:11
Speaker 1: with my friends, so Anyway, one thing that did not
10:16
Speaker 1: get shown was a conversation that Gary and I had
10:20
Speaker 1: and we were just and I might have talked about
10:24
Speaker 1: this on another podcast, but after the tournament and we're
10:30
Speaker 1: all just kind of hanging out, they ordered lunch for us.
10:33
Speaker 1: We're like just sitting off camera. I think people people
10:38
Speaker 1: were with us, like producers were with us, and then
10:40
Speaker 1: it was just he and I and I sat next
10:44
Speaker 1: to him and just said, so, how's it going, Like,
10:48
Speaker 1: are are things happening? Are you? Are you interested in
10:53
Speaker 1: these ladies? Is it working for you? And she's like
10:56
Speaker 1: He's like it's working, and and he's like, I'm just
11:02
Speaker 1: having a hard time figuring out, you know, what to do,
11:08
Speaker 1: because I think, as we see in the previews, he
11:16
Speaker 1: is having a hard time choosing between at least two people.
11:20
Speaker 1: You know. I don't know if he's falling in love
11:22
Speaker 1: with two people, but he's definitely developing feelings for more
11:24
Speaker 1: than one person.
11:36
Speaker 2: I was wondering if I thought you were going to
11:37
Speaker 2: say something else right now.
11:39
Speaker 1: I honestly, did you think I was going to say?
11:41
Speaker 2: I thought you were going to say that he was
11:43
Speaker 2: having guilt, Like we've never had someone in this position
11:50
Speaker 2: I don't really care about the age who was in
11:53
Speaker 2: love and their spouse passed away, you know what I mean,
11:57
Speaker 2: the love of their life that passed away. We've never
11:59
Speaker 2: had that before, and so in my mind, I thought
12:01
Speaker 2: that's where you were going.
12:02
Speaker 3: I got like the chills, like thinking.
12:04
Speaker 2: About when you're talking, because I was thinking, all my
12:06
Speaker 2: heart goes out to him because I wondered if that
12:08
Speaker 2: would be something he would experience. I'm actually glad that
12:10
Speaker 2: he's not, because there's obviously nothing he can do, you know,
12:13
Speaker 2: to bring back the past. So from that perspective, I'm
12:17
Speaker 2: glad he's not experiencing those emotions.
12:18
Speaker 3: But I thought that's where you were going.
12:20
Speaker 1: I wonder if he is, though. I Mean, he hasn't
12:22
Speaker 1: shared on camera during the show, but he has said
12:27
Speaker 1: like Joan was somebody who left who I loved, and
12:30
Speaker 1: I was really sad, like after watching the show that
12:33
Speaker 1: she left before I got there, because I really think
12:37
Speaker 1: they had great chemistry and I loved their relationship and
12:42
Speaker 1: I thought she was dropped at gorgeous anyway, and she
12:47
Speaker 1: seemed like she had it all together and her priorities
12:49
Speaker 1: and everything, and they talked about it. They talked about
12:56
Speaker 1: you know how it's been hard, Like people say that
13:01
Speaker 1: you're you could you should go on after a year,
13:04
Speaker 1: Like wait a year, and it should be better after
13:06
Speaker 1: a year, And they both were like, yeah, no, that
13:10
Speaker 1: didn't really work for me after a year. So I
13:13
Speaker 1: wonder too if there is some guilt. I know that
13:17
Speaker 1: he's got like a heart of gold. Like every single
13:19
Speaker 1: rose ceremony he gets teary because it's so hard for
13:23
Speaker 1: him to say goodbye to somebody and like, you know,
13:26
Speaker 1: kind of crush that relationship and say you're not Like
13:31
Speaker 1: I feel like he's he's feeling like he's telling them
13:34
Speaker 1: that they're not good enough. When to me and you,
13:38
Speaker 1: we know that the reason that you say goodbye is
13:42
Speaker 1: because you just have to invest more time into the
13:45
Speaker 1: relationships where you're actually vibing and.
13:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you have to go in that direction. Yeah,
13:51
Speaker 2: well you know, but I actually, and I'm sure you
13:53
Speaker 2: probably do too, I relate a little bit to that
13:54
Speaker 2: because I remember thinking, I mean, it was devastating to
13:57
Speaker 2: me when I when I had to not give flow
14:00
Speaker 2: of someone who was just a lovely person, you know
14:02
Speaker 2: what I mean. I remember thinking like I would labor
14:04
Speaker 2: over it, and and you know, the producers were really
14:07
Speaker 2: good at making you feel like it was okay and
14:09
Speaker 2: you know they're going to be fine, and but then
14:11
Speaker 2: you watch the show and they're like in the limo bawling,
14:13
Speaker 2: and you know, you don't know that the producers are
14:16
Speaker 2: poking the bear. You don't think about it at the
14:18
Speaker 2: time to get on the coat. Yeah, but I remember.
14:19
Speaker 3: I remember really having those feelings too now.
14:22
Speaker 2: And I'm sure for him, especially, you know, being more
14:25
Speaker 2: mature and having gone through a lot more relationally than
14:27
Speaker 2: I had at that point, he's probably seeing it, like
14:30
Speaker 2: you're saying, like he's letting someone go and you know
14:33
Speaker 2: it's going to be you know, just horrible for them.
14:36
Speaker 3: You know, Yeah, I get it.
14:38
Speaker 1: Oh, I totally do too. I mean that first first
14:41
Speaker 1: row ceremony for me, I was growing. I was like,
14:43
Speaker 1: this is so hard to say goodbye to people. And
14:47
Speaker 1: it's not like they're not great people, like, it's just
14:50
Speaker 1: that I you know, they might not be the right
14:52
Speaker 1: person for me. So anyway, we were sitting there and
14:58
Speaker 1: he was just sharing that he was having you know,
15:00
Speaker 1: feelings for multiple people and or like more than one person,
15:06
Speaker 1: I should say, because I don't know what that number is.
15:10
Speaker 1: And I was just like, can I give you some
15:12
Speaker 1: advice like what people told me? And I cannot remember
15:17
Speaker 1: who gave me this advice. I don't know if it
15:19
Speaker 1: was my mom or what, but just that you need
15:23
Speaker 1: to find someone. Instead of finding someone that you can
15:26
Speaker 1: live with, find someone that you can't live without. And
15:29
Speaker 1: the producers after I got home, they were like, by
15:33
Speaker 1: the way, uh, he has been using your advice throughout
15:37
Speaker 1: the rest of the show, And I thought, Oh, they're
15:40
Speaker 1: totally not going to even talk about the fact that I,
15:43
Speaker 1: you know, kind of gave him that advice. But he
15:46
Speaker 1: he did say, you know, Trista gave me that. I'm like, oh, yeah,
15:50
Speaker 1: that's so cool conversation because it was an off camera moment,
15:54
Speaker 1: you know that that I thought there's no way they're
15:58
Speaker 1: going to use it because they don't have the footage
16:02
Speaker 1: to like it on the shoedule. Yeah, but so I'm
16:07
Speaker 1: so glad that it helped him in some way to
16:12
Speaker 1: be able to make that choice, because if he really
16:14
Speaker 1: is and it seems like he is really really having
16:18
Speaker 1: a difficult time deciding when it gets down to it,
16:23
Speaker 1: if that helped him at all, that makes me happy.
16:26
Speaker 2: Well, here you are twenty years later, still putting your
16:28
Speaker 2: stamp on the franchise.
16:30
Speaker 3: Oh, still affecting the outcome. I love it. Well, you
16:35
Speaker 3: know what, I think, that's awesome.
16:36
Speaker 2: I love I love getting a little behind the scenes
16:38
Speaker 2: on this because it is a fascinating season. I mean,
16:43
Speaker 2: I hate to admit this, but you and I have
16:44
Speaker 2: talked about this before. I checked out for a couple
16:47
Speaker 2: of seasons.
16:47
Speaker 3: Here and there.
16:48
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, you know, your life gets so crazy, busy.
16:51
Speaker 2: This is one that I haven't seen every episode in
16:54
Speaker 2: its entirety, but I'm interested and.
16:57
Speaker 3: I'm paying attentionally, and I'm in it.
16:58
Speaker 2: And you know, there's a couple of ladies in there
17:01
Speaker 2: that I'm like, oh, man, I hope I hope she's
17:03
Speaker 2: in the final four.
17:04
Speaker 3: You know, or whatever, just because you want them to
17:07
Speaker 3: feel you know. I don't know.
17:09
Speaker 2: I just I see my I mean, it's terrible to
17:11
Speaker 2: say this, but I see my mom and so many
17:13
Speaker 2: of these ladies like.
17:14
Speaker 1: That's not terrible, that's just reality.
17:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, my dad passed away, my mom's lonely,
17:19
Speaker 2: and it's like, yeah, I watch this show and my
17:21
Speaker 2: heart goes out to them because I know, I know
17:23
Speaker 2: how that feels. Not only from personal experience, but really
17:26
Speaker 2: from watching my mom and what she's been going through
17:28
Speaker 2: the last couple of years. And yeah, it's so awesome
17:31
Speaker 2: the show came around along it just a really great
17:33
Speaker 2: time I think for everyone to have it, like a
17:34
Speaker 2: feel good I know, you know, thing to invest in.
17:38
Speaker 3: You know well.
17:39
Speaker 1: And also so to your point, Joan was in the
17:42
Speaker 1: car when she was saying goodbye, like you know her
17:46
Speaker 1: like exit interview or whatever, and she was saying, you know,
17:49
Speaker 1: when you get older, it's really hard because people kind
17:53
Speaker 1: of ignore you, like you you aren't as important to
17:57
Speaker 1: people when you're older, and that broke my heart. I'm like,
18:01
Speaker 1: I it's so sad how this country treats older people,
18:05
Speaker 1: you know, because I think it. I think she's right,
18:09
Speaker 1: and I think that I just love that that so
18:14
Speaker 1: many people are getting behind these older, more mature people
18:19
Speaker 1: who have had so much life experience and they deserve
18:23
Speaker 1: love so much. Maybe not more than anybody, because I
18:27
Speaker 1: think everyone deserves love, but I truly feel like they
18:32
Speaker 1: deserve to find it again if they've if they've been
18:34
Speaker 1: like you.
18:36
Speaker 3: I agree with you.
18:37
Speaker 2: I think, you know, especially now that you have time
18:40
Speaker 2: to invest, you know, I not that you don't now,
18:43
Speaker 2: But like, I think about my life right now, and
18:45
Speaker 2: and all we can.
18:45
Speaker 3: Do is drop parallels to our personal experiences. So I
18:48
Speaker 3: hope I don't come up narcissistic break making it about me.
18:50
Speaker 2: But I think about how how busy I am with
18:53
Speaker 2: work and the kids, and and I want to be
18:56
Speaker 2: you know, I still want to make my wife have
18:57
Speaker 2: fun and go out to you know, dinners and have
19:00
Speaker 2: but it's like that becomes a thing that you don't
19:02
Speaker 2: always have the time for, right because you're so busy
19:05
Speaker 2: with everything else. And now these people are at this
19:08
Speaker 2: stage in their life where that's all they have time for,
19:10
Speaker 2: but they don't have the opportunities. And so it's really
19:13
Speaker 2: awesome that that they've got this group of people there
19:18
Speaker 2: that now here's an opportunity.
19:19
Speaker 3: And granted, it's going to be, you know, a weird,
19:21
Speaker 3: surreal experience.
19:22
Speaker 2: You're gonna be doing stuff you wouldn't normally do on
19:23
Speaker 2: a date, But how awesome to have this at this
19:26
Speaker 2: stage in your life when you can really appreciate it.
19:29
Speaker 2: I mean, I may have taken some stuff for granted
19:30
Speaker 2: back when I was a bachelor, you know, I mean,
19:32
Speaker 2: I'm sure I did. Now when I look back on it,
19:34
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess I always thought i'd be you know,
19:37
Speaker 2: going into volcanoes in a chopper, just having you know,
19:39
Speaker 2: a random conversation.
19:41
Speaker 3: You know, you're you're like, oh, yeah, I want to
19:43
Speaker 3: be on the.
19:43
Speaker 2: Top of a igloo and Alaska, top of an iceberg.
19:47
Speaker 2: But it's like, you know, now these people, now these
19:49
Speaker 2: people are going through it, and they're like, whoa if
19:51
Speaker 2: they're so mind blown over stuff that is just really
19:55
Speaker 2: you know, I just think it's really nice to see
19:57
Speaker 2: the appreciation and the gratitude. To borrow word from Trister
20:01
Speaker 2: Sutter nay Wren, but you know, you're always really big
20:04
Speaker 2: on gratitude, and I think that being able to see
20:07
Speaker 2: the gratitude that they have for being a part of it.
20:09
Speaker 2: And there hasn't been any exits that I can remember
20:12
Speaker 2: on the show on this season where it's been like
20:15
Speaker 2: a whatever, Gary, you know, you don't deserve all of this.
20:19
Speaker 2: There hasn't been any of that. It's beenine sadness, you know,
20:22
Speaker 2: because he's such a great guy.
20:23
Speaker 3: And they cast the hell out of this show. I
20:25
Speaker 3: think they did a great show.
20:26
Speaker 1: Oh, the casting people did such a phenomenal job. I mean, honestly,
20:30
Speaker 1: I just I just love all of them. I really
20:35
Speaker 1: wish that I could connect with them more. I really
20:40
Speaker 1: want them to have a big reunion with like everybody,
20:44
Speaker 1: every single person I know. I just I don't know.
20:48
Speaker 2: I think it starts here. I think we bring I
20:50
Speaker 2: think we should start having some interviews from you know,
20:53
Speaker 2: the Ogs should be interviewing some of the cast offs. Uh,
20:57
Speaker 2: you know, because they.
20:58
Speaker 1: Know us, they know what It's funny that you say
21:02
Speaker 1: that we are OG's, but they are OG's of their season.
21:05
Speaker 3: They're Ogs for real, the original.
21:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, I really need to have You're so right, we
21:10
Speaker 1: need to have them come on our show because they
21:13
Speaker 1: are technically Ogs.
21:16
Speaker 2: Not that Benn and Ashley are a couple of whipper
21:17
Speaker 2: snappers who don't deserve some good interviews, because they do
21:20
Speaker 2: and of them, they are the namesake of our of
21:23
Speaker 2: our podcast. But I think, you know, we may relate
21:27
Speaker 2: a little differently to the people at this point, you
21:30
Speaker 2: know that are on these seasons and you know, not really,
21:32
Speaker 2: but I guess we can still fit. We'll be right,
21:34
Speaker 2: but we can definitely come from a different place. So guys, anyway,
21:37
Speaker 2: if anyone's listening, we'd love to have you on the show.
21:40
Speaker 2: You know, Uh, make sure you call us, let us
21:43
Speaker 2: know that you want to be on the O G edition,
21:45
Speaker 2: and we'll be.
21:46
Speaker 3: Happy to have you.
21:58
Speaker 1: I love seeing Joey too. He is awesome. I'm really
22:02
Speaker 1: excited for his season. And the ladies loved him all.
22:07
Speaker 3: She's good looking, dude, I get it.
22:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was just it was just such a day.
22:12
Speaker 1: It was a freaking scorcher. I will say. It was
22:15
Speaker 1: so hot, so hot.
22:19
Speaker 2: That I can't they have paramatics on standby do they
22:22
Speaker 2: have you know, I'm pure hydrating available.
22:27
Speaker 1: Yeah. They also had like tents and like a mister
22:31
Speaker 1: thing that was like spring Like that's smart.
22:34
Speaker 2: I hate to say it, but it's true, right, it's
22:36
Speaker 2: you gotta you gotta be smart about it.
22:38
Speaker 1: Oh it was. It was a scorcher, but it was
22:41
Speaker 1: worth it. It was just just so much fun. So
22:44
Speaker 1: I just want to thank that the Bachelor producers and
22:47
Speaker 1: the execs for having me back, because as as I've
22:50
Speaker 1: said on here, I kind of felt like I was
22:53
Speaker 1: like I was never getting asked back, and I'm like,
22:56
Speaker 1: what have I done wrong? I have done something wrong?
22:59
Speaker 1: I never get to go back on the show and
23:02
Speaker 1: to actually go back to the mansion and connect with
23:06

23:41
Speaker 2: this big, you know, parade through the woods and you
23:44
Speaker 2: can collect all these candies and toys and stuff.
23:47
Speaker 3: And I'm just you know, you know how I am.
23:50
Speaker 2: I just move about my way just sort of without
23:52
Speaker 2: a clue, you know, just standard. You know, I don't
23:54
Speaker 2: really think about too much. Blessing and a curse. Blessing
23:57
Speaker 2: and a curse for me. So I'm walking through the
24:00
Speaker 2: I bring I'm carrying my my two year old Blake
24:02
Speaker 2: and doing these ladies are standing there and I was like, oh,
24:05

24:56
Speaker 1: to also talk about and maybe I.
24:59
Speaker 2: Shouldn't, but I bet you I'm just going to guess
25:02
Speaker 2: on something. I bet you had had something to do
25:04
Speaker 2: with the fake fall, the ankle twist.
25:07
Speaker 1: No, the ankle twist actually, which is funny because I
25:12
Speaker 1: was told by the producers that I didn't know that
25:16
Speaker 1: it was happening in the moment, but afterwards they were like,
25:19
Speaker 1: just so you know she is. She totally faked this,
25:22
Speaker 1: and you she said this black night on the episode, Yeah,
25:27
Speaker 1: she waked You totally said it. But I thought she
25:30
Speaker 1: like I hadn't seen it happen. All I saw was
25:33
Speaker 1: her laying down after it happened, and so I was like,
25:37
Speaker 1: I was trying to console her. I didn't know that
25:39
Speaker 1: they were going to make this like a big thing.
25:42
Speaker 1: So I was literally in there like holding her up
25:45
Speaker 1: kind of so she could She was kind of sitting weird,
25:48
Speaker 1: and so I was I was holding her up, and
25:51
Speaker 1: of course they were like, let Gary get in there.
25:53
Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh, right, right, oh okay, I get
25:57
Speaker 1: it now.
25:59
Speaker 3: I mean, that's funny. That's actually really funny.
26:02
Speaker 2: You know. That's like the old school movies. You'd watch
26:04
Speaker 2: the old school movies, like even in back in the Future,
26:06
Speaker 2: like oh the Fake Faith, you know.
26:09
Speaker 3: I was like, oh my gosh, you know, and.
26:10
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, just a way to get the attention
26:12
Speaker 2: of a man you are fancying, as.
26:14
Speaker 3: They say, exactly.
26:15
Speaker 1: No, she totally went for it. And I love her personality.
26:19
Speaker 1: April is hysterical and she actually is totally a girls girl,
26:24
Speaker 1: Like was completely supportive of everyone too. Yeah, but yeah,
26:28
Speaker 1: I feel like she's kind of in there a little
26:32
Speaker 1: bit for.
26:34
Speaker 3: Like she'll do.
26:35
Speaker 1: Anything, you know, obviously she'll just sholl fall, she'll pick
26:39
Speaker 1: a ball just so she can get time with Gary.
26:41
Speaker 3: So Trista guess.
26:43
Speaker 2: What not to say that I'm not paying one hundred
26:45
Speaker 2: percent attentions I am, but I'm sitting there, sitting here
26:48
Speaker 2: talking to you, and all of a sudden my phone vibrates.
26:50
Speaker 2: I look and it's Jack French, sure from our season
26:54
Speaker 2: of the Bachelorette.
26:55
Speaker 1: That's crazy. And you know why crcually now that you're
26:58
Speaker 1: saying that, Brooke Pemberton just reached out to Ryan yesterday
27:05
Speaker 1: and just kind of was like, is I hope everything
27:08
Speaker 1: is okay? Our dog is just going through a hard
27:13
Speaker 1: time and it's just been a rough little while, little
27:16
Speaker 1: patch for us with Ryan, you know, obviously trying to
27:20
Speaker 1: stay healthy.
27:20
Speaker 2: And well, he posted something the other day that was
27:23
Speaker 2: so just so Ryan, just so genuine and sincere letting
27:29
Speaker 2: people and he's not, as we both know, he's not,
27:31
Speaker 2: you know, mister here here I am, you know, take
27:34
Speaker 2: a look at me. Ever, and so for him to share,
27:37
Speaker 2: you know, some stuff like that, and I read it
27:39
Speaker 2: and I was like, I looked at it and read
27:41
Speaker 2: the whole thing, and I was like, you know, I
27:43
Speaker 2: was watching what people posted and stuff, and I'm like,
27:45
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna let him know I read it because
27:47
Speaker 2: I don't think Ryan needs me to be.
27:48
Speaker 3: Like call me man.
27:51
Speaker 2: But I think it's really cool that Brooke called I
27:53
Speaker 2: mean Brook, it's been a long time since, so it's
27:56
Speaker 2: too have connected.
27:57
Speaker 3: I'm sure. So that's awesome. I think that's really I.
28:00
Speaker 1: Was like, oh, that's really sweet, Brooke. So if you're listening,
28:03
Speaker 1: thank you for reached out.
28:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you, cowboy, Brook, very kind, thanks for sharing.
28:08
Speaker 2: I think you know, for me, that was a reason
28:10
Speaker 2: to tune in was to see you on the show.
28:12
Speaker 2: And you know, definitely make sure that you know I
28:14
Speaker 2: got to. I see you make your cameo much deserved.
28:17
Speaker 2: We need more of that. I think Trista needs to
28:19
Speaker 2: be back on every episode.
28:20
Speaker 3: Let's do it.
28:22
Speaker 1: I don't know although they if they do do a
28:27
Speaker 1: Golden Bachelorette, Oh you have to be okay, sign me up.
28:32
Speaker 1: I am there. I would you should be.
28:35
Speaker 2: Co hosting that and be like the one that's in
28:37
Speaker 2: the you know, in the deliberation room. When when when
28:40
Speaker 2: you know Jesse goes in and checks on the Bachelor
28:43
Speaker 2: the Bachelorette, you should be out there talking to the
28:45
Speaker 2: guys like guys, I mean, this is really so and
28:47
Speaker 2: be their friend.
28:48
Speaker 1: I just want to go and be their friend and
28:50
Speaker 1: be like, okay, what's going on?
28:52
Speaker 2: Like that they might need to bring me in actually
28:55
Speaker 2: on that one, right, like they might need to bring
28:57
Speaker 2: me in and be like, dude, you really should dance
28:59
Speaker 2: a jig and tell this guy that you do tibo
29:02
Speaker 2: and you'll relate to me.
29:04
Speaker 3: That's what I did. I'm here twenty years later. It's
29:07
Speaker 3: so weird.
29:08
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. I also wanted to say I heard
29:10
Speaker 1: Wells do an interview and he was talking about how
29:15
Speaker 1: he is dying for them to do a Golden Bachelor
29:18
Speaker 1: in Paradise, which I am authorically all about, like if
29:23
Speaker 1: they have to do a Golden Bachelorette, they just have to,
29:27
Speaker 1: and if they do, I really hope that Joan is
29:31
Speaker 1: the Golden Bachelorette. She's the one who left for her daughter,
29:34
Speaker 1: and I mean, there's multiple other people that could be,
29:38
Speaker 1: but I think she was since she had to leave
29:41
Speaker 1: and she didn't get the full experience. I would love
29:44
Speaker 1: for her to be And then if they have a
29:46
Speaker 1: Golden Bachelor in Paradise, like, maybe it's not in Mexico
29:49
Speaker 1: because they don't want these you know, older older personalities
29:56
Speaker 1: dying of heat. Maybe it's yeah, you know, I don't know.
30:00
Speaker 2: Colorado, Detroit's nice, Detroit's nice in the fall. You know,
30:09
Speaker 2: the two former people from the show that don't live
30:12
Speaker 2: anywhere near Tintaltown come see us for this season.
30:16
Speaker 3: Oh that's funny.
30:18
Speaker 1: I would love that. I would love to see more
30:22
Speaker 1: of this because I just I just root for these people.
30:28
Speaker 1: I like nothing.
30:29
Speaker 2: I think it makes perfect sense. I think it makes
30:30
Speaker 2: perfect sense. And you know they will with ratings going up.
30:34
Speaker 2: I mean, one thing that ABC and all the Powers
30:37
Speaker 2: that Be, one thing they're really good at is you know,
30:40
Speaker 2: catch them lightning in a bottle and knowing it.
30:42
Speaker 3: So I think that they'll probably run with this. I'm
30:44
Speaker 3: hoping they will anyway. So I just hope that the
30:47
Speaker 3: guys come on if they do a Golden Bachelorette.
30:50
Speaker 2: I hope that the guys they cast are as good
30:53
Speaker 2: as the women that they cast for the season for Gary, because,
30:56
Speaker 2: like I said, like you and I both just did.
30:58
Speaker 3: The cast and crew did a great job on this.
31:00
Speaker 2: And you know, if they if they can find some
31:02
Speaker 2: guys like that who don't come in trying to be like,
31:04
Speaker 2: you know, a seventy year old Fabio, I think it'll
31:07
Speaker 2: be you know, great because no offense to Fabio, but
31:10
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, I think Fabio.
31:12
Speaker 1: Lightee totally okay, amazing.
31:16
Speaker 2: But thank you all for listening to almost famous the
