• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Welcome to our show this week. I just want to
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: say something trist that last week I loved it because
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: we talked all about you, all about your show, and
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: you know, and I even thought a few times, I'm like, gosh,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: you know, Trista, I don't understand why she's like, you know,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I didn't want us to watch it didn't what wasn't it?
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: It wasn't. And so then this week, um, I I
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: so feel your pain right now, my friend, and I
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: am so sorry, so sorry that I was like, well,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: come on, trist I have some fun with this. No,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: it is so crazy. It's like when you hear your
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: voice on a voicemail or any interview. You know, when
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: you first started doing stuff in the media. Well, you
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: were a singer, so maybe that doesn't affect you, but
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: I feel like I hated listen to me. I hated
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: watching myself and all the faces I made and what
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: I said. And so yeah, I'm so glad that you
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: finally understand since last week, I mean it hasn't been
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: a long time. Um, but we got to watch Bob's
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: season and now we get to pick it apart like
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: we did Mind last week. So I gotta tell you this. So, um,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I've been very insulated, right because, uh, you know when
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: my season first heard uh for the premier episode, they
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: they had uh like this party thing that we did
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: for it, right, and we were all together for that,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: and it was a lot of talking, and I don't remember.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I don't really remember hearing myself that much. And I
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: really enjoyed it then way more than this time when
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I had to hear myself. And first of all, I
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: don't know if I I mean, do I sound like that?
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: And then what I really sound like when I talk?
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: And then do I really giggle all the time incessantly
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: for no reason like I was watching? And then what
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: the hell was going on with my hair? Like it
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: literally I had this big game, curly que section that
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: hung down, and I'm like, then I also have to
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: tell you this part. People. You know, when I would
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: do all the interviews after being on your season, and
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: people would always say, oh, yeah, funny, Bob, we love funny.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: But I never heard myself called fat Bob. Until I
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: watched the show last night, I'm like, what the hell
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: is that? Wait? Remind me when did that? Did you
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: call yourself fat Bob? I said it all the time.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I would always go, is that a fat show? But
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: you know, but it was so funny because, uh, Chris
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Harrison and one of his intros for me, it was like,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: you know, and you know, the America responded in just
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: crazy format. At one point, I'm like, they're selling this
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: awfully hard and he's like, you know, and uh, I
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: mean he was fat Bob and now he's lean and mean,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: loving Bob. I'm like, oh, so I'm gonna have to
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: call Harrison about that too. Yeah, let's get him on
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: the show next shot him up. But it was uncomfortable
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: tell so I know, I know what you mean. I
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: was just going, why would I say that? Why did
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: I do that? You know? And my memory was so different,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: so different was it? Well? Because you know, I've never
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, this might be a terrible thing to admit
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: right now, but I've never watched the season myself. Terrible
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: thing to this since the season, Like I remember and
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: you just said you watched it? Did you watch it
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: at a party? So there were a bunch of people around. Yes, well,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I remember one of my favorite memories and I did
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: pop up last night when I was watching the episode.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Um one of the favorite things that I said, and
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: thankfully I was with Andrew Firestone when I said, or
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: when we both watched, because I don't even remember saying it,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: but I was like, I was like pouring out some
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: wine to my family at the dinner table, and I'm like,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: and this is from the Guinea Stone Vineyards. And I
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: remember sitting with the Andree we were in New York
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: and he looked at me, goes really bro and I
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: love Andrew. So I was like, I don't even remember
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: saying that. So that popped up last night and I
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: thought that was pretty funny. But other than that, I
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: was I know, I feel your pain. I do. It
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: is not like it was especially for me obviously, and
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: how it ended up. It was one of the best
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: times of my life because I met Ryan. But it
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: was so cringe e I just I I hated watching
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: it back. Uh. So okay, so tell us how did
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: you feel like? Obviously we went from my season where
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: we were we were good friends, we had a connection,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: but obviously I feel like our connection was and still
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: is great friends and and so you went from that
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: experience and you had the experience of having all the
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: cameras in your face and you know all of that too,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: then being the lead and I when you said I
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: don't like hurting people's feelings, do you remember I cried
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the first night the first night of my I felt
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: the exact same way, especially the first NIPE, because I
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: was like, I don't even know these guys and I'm
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: sending them home, you know, based on maybe one conversation
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: if that. So, how do you feel maybe exactly so?
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: How did you feel going into it? Well? I remember
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: you and I talked obviously when they you know, I
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: think you might remember this, But when they first asked
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: me to that bachelor, I was kind of like, no,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: I don't think I think I'm okay, you know. And
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: I really loved being and I used to say it
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: all the time. I was like, I was the lovable
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: loser from trusts Seas and this is kind of fun.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: You know, I can't do anything wrong, you know, But
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: then you know, um, then you start thinking about it,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: like what if I would miss this opportunity to meet someone,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: the potential could be my soul mate, you know. And
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: obviously the show worked out differently for me than it
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: did for you. But I definitely met some really amazing women.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: And I hate to even use the word amazing and
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: any aspect of my life, but yeah, the biggest concern
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: for me was to be I just hate hurting people's
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: feelings and and I think I kind of numbed myself
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: to it a little bit over the years, Like I
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: would make fun of it and I'd go, oh, yeah,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: you could have a monkey handing out flowers and the
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: girls would cry that. You know, that made me feel
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: better about myself having to send someone home because but
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: in truth, it was like, you know, Um, watching the
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: show last night, I even thought to myself, I'm like, God,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I wish I would have known all the nice things
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: that these women said about me before they showed up,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: because I would have maybe, you know, because I didn't
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: get to talk to everyone. In fact, we're gonna have
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: a guest on the show today. I don't even think
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I got to talk to you that night, And um,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: it's pretty crazy because you know, you don't realize what
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: amazing people you might miss out on meeting, even to
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: make friends with necessarily, you know, or love or whatever
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: will come from it. But I was super bummed, uh,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: you know, to be the bachelor in that situation, because
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: I remember thinking, there's nothing anyone's done wrong here, and
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna go home thinking that they didn't
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: do something right enough, even if it weren't, even if
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: they didn't feel anything for me necessarily, just to remain
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: on the show or to get to have that experience,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: and and I just felt terrible, And I mean I
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: did throughout the higher season, Like every time a rose
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: heremony came up, I was less excited, which is probably
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: a terrible thing to say, but I was less excited
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: about the flowers I was given out, or I shouldn't
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: say less, but I was probably equally as excited about
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the flowers I was given out as I was really
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: upset and sad about the ones I wasn't giving up. Oh,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: I know that, I totally understand where you're coming from there.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: It is definitely a hard balance, I feel like for
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: the leads and especially I feel like, Okay, so my season,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I think probably the demographic of people who watched the
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: show is a way bigger number of women right. So
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: the men especially Okay, so on my show, the men
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: are going to come on the show and be the
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: bachelor's if you will, for the Bachelorette. But a lot
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: of them, because it had just started, may not have
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: ever seen the show or even heard of it, including Ryan.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: But your season, Holy cow, these women came in like
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: infatuated with you. They were like gun in for you.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, especially one of our guests who's going to
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: be on um, coming up really soon. I'm excited to
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: talk to her, but um, but wow, I mean that
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: I think was different in that they were really excited.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: So the pressure I think was even greater for you
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: because they were really expecting to, you know, formulate this
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: intense relationship immediate, yeah, immediate boom, you know, and yeah,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: you know, I'll never forget as a as the first
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: limo was pulling up, and you know, you're already nervous
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: enough as it is. But I don't know if you
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: saw this when when when we were watching it, but
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: they started chanting my name from inside the limo and
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: I oh yeah as it turned the corner, and part
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: of me was like, oh my god, this is awesome.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: And then as the door opened I felt so much pressure.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I remember going like, oh my god, what if I'm
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: not good enough for them? Like what if they look
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: like get out of the car and they're like oh,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: you know, or if I'm talking to him and they're like, oh,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: I expected so much more, you know, or whatever, because
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: at that point, I've been kind of over I've been
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: oversaturated at that point, you know, where I was. I
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: had been an Operah a bunch in between your show
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: and and and mine, and it was like, you know,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: they saw just like clips of me and snippets, you know,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: and well off Operah loves him, he must be great.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: You know. It was kind of like I heard a
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: couple of people say that, But I remember thinking to myself, like,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: what if I'm not good enough? You know? And they're like,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: so they have these expectations. What if I can't fulfill them?
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: And up until that point, I had zero self doubt
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: And then like really, the first door of the limit opens,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, you know, oh I tend
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: to do that a lot in my life. Do you
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: think um was Chris a big help when it came
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: to that self doubt? And yeah, I mean, you know,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: I mean there's a few. There's several moments in the
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: show that you know because as you know, you know,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: going through the experience the first time, you do create
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: friendships with even though you're not supposed to, you know,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: necessarily create friendships with the producers and with the host
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: and everything else you do. And you know, Chris is
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: one of those guys that he was there and he
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: was a great sounding board. He had been there already
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: at that point. I was, what the the fourth Bachelor,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: but your show had gone to so this is typically
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: the fifth season, um, and you know he was he
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: had great advice for me. You know, He's like, don't
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: get in your own head. Just relax, enjoy yourself, you know.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: And he's like, let yourself be yourself because that's what
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: everyone is here for. They like they like you, they
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: like who you are. You know, he gave me a
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: lot of confidence in those moments where I I think
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: I may not have been feeling as confident as I
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: would have liked to have portrayed. Yeah, I'm sure I
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: think all of us do it. Every lead. I can't
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: imagine that anyone has not had any self doubt going in,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: but that that had got had had to have been
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: hard because the girls were just coming in hot. You know,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: they were really really jones in for some Bob guinea. Um. Okay,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: so how did you feel about your mom being there?
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: I loved the fact that they brought your mom. I
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: know you were horrified. Probably you'll you can tell you
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: can talk to us about that. But I think they
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: should do it again. I think they need to do
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: that to like change things up, because I thought it
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: was great that. You know, the girls then were probably
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: on their best behavior. Yeah, you know once she showed up,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: and they wanted to impress her, maybe more than you even.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: So how did you feel when your mom showed up? Well,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: you know, I think I think I had made it
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: pretty clear when I was on your season and then
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: also in the subsequent interviews there after. Excuse me that,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm a very big family person, you know,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: like I love my family and I love you know,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: and and now that I've built my own family, I
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: love being closer to my family. I relocated back to
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Michigan to be closer to my mom and dad because
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: they're they're getting up there in years and I lost
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: my dad last year. So I thank god that I
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: did that. Um, but it was one of those things
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I have in my mom. Come on, you know, everyone
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: kind of knew I was a mom's boy, and uh,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: you know, here she comes, and you know, I mean
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Nora was in her element. Let's just say that when
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: she came in, She's like, you know, the bell of
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: the ball, Hello everyone, you know, and I was like
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: watching her work the room, and I'm just like, oh,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: And part of me like was super excited about it
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: because you know, it gave people an opportunity to get
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: a little more of a glimpse into who I really
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: am and not just what that scene on TV and
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: stuff and um, and so that was really awesome. And
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: then it was actually kind of comforting too, you know,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: because I like to tease my mom quite a bit,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: and so to have my mom there and be able
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: to kind of tease with her and you know, uh,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: you know, just kind of watch her like I could
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: tell right away that she was gravitating to certain people,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: and you know it was my mom, uh to a degree. Uh,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: it also was like some people, you know, here's here's
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: where it kind of worked against me. Was my mom
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: would talk to some people that that I never got
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: to talk to and so my mom would be like, oh,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: I really like so and so, And I'm like, I
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: didn't even get to talk to them than when I
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: first met them, and so, you know, and I think,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: like you said, you know, knowing that it was me
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: before anyone got there, that they kind of came in
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: and it was like we sort of it was almost
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: like we picked up uh like like everyone that was
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: there that night. It was like our third day, do
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like I didn't have to
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: go through a lot of the pleasant trees of you know,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: explaining who I am and all that kind of it
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: was like boom, we were at this this next level.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: And so I really I really did sincerely have I mean,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: I would say probably eighteen of the twenty five women
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: that I talked to, I really was like, oh my god,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: I can't send any of them home, Like what am
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I gonna do? I like all of them, and you know,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: and so I was really in that pickle of you know,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: I will say this, I knew right when the twins
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: got out of the car, I'm like, I mean they're
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: keeping them both, are cutting them both them not playing
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: this game, and I know I was like, this is
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: not happening. So that was that was right away, and
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: then I never actually really got to talk to them either,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: and then um, you know they were Yeah, there were
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: quite a few people that I felt like, man, I
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: would have liked to have more time with them, you know,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: like um and get to know them better. Like I remember, say,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: the firefighter that was I was going to ask you
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: about her. I was never literally going to ask you
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: if if you had any regrets about her, because I
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: was like, she's so cute and want a great job. Yeah,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: I really did, you know. I actually, so this is
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: a little behind the scenes for everyone. I actually went
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: to the producers and I was like, man, I'm having
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: I'm having second thoughts. I said, I go this. I
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: sent this girl Sha home, who was a firefighter. I
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: never got to talk to her, but I want I
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: was trying to get to her all night, and I
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: kept going in different directions, and I'm like, what if
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: we you know, what if we brought her back, and
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: like I said, you know, she'd come back and I
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: go and then like that would be like the you know,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: and they were like, that's not how the show works.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: We're not doing that, you know it? And I did
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: it years later they'd be like, awesome, idea, we'll have
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: her crash a date, you know, like they do that
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: now all the time, but back then it wasn't going
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: to happen, and um, and I thought that way about her.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: And I actually thought that way about um one of
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: our guests who will be on in just a few minutes,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: who I hardly got to talk to you, but I
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: remember thinking, like, you know, I feel like if I
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: could bring back one or two people, those would be
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: the one and Um, you know, but they didn't give
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: me that opportunity, so you know, that's a bummer, because
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: you're right. They were very rigid. I remember explaining the
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: show to people and being like, okay, so you start
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: with twenty five guys, and then you go down to fifteen,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: and then it's ten, and then it's you know, and
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: it was very like regimented or rigid. And now it's like,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: you have no idea how many roses they're going to give,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: how many people are going to stay until they're like, okay,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: well we have tumor roses left or whatever. Yeah, yeah,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: you're right. They were like yeah, yeah, Like I mean,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: I've heard the comment more than once when Chris was hosting,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: and then I did. I did watch the first episode
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: with Jesse was hosting too, and it was it was
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: kind of like, well and when and when when the
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: girl stepped into a Tasian Caitlin stepped in, It was
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: kind of like, what was your show? You know what?
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: How many roses do you want tonight? We didn't we
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: were doing that, you know, we were, like you said
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: very much. Remember when I was when I left on
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: your season with Jamie when you when you um, you know,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: when we didn't get the real that night I believe
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: you went. Was that from eight tent it was from
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: eight to four. The next day was the hometown dates,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: and I remember thinking, you know, wow, I would love
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Triesta to meet my family and it would be amazing.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: But then I got so nervous, you know, because I
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: was divorced, and I was like, I don't know, I
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: don't know how I feel right now, Like am I
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: the right guy for her? You know? So it was
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: so awesome when when you're at that point in the
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: show now, it's not that awesome when you're in your situation,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: or me watching myself in that situation last night and remembering,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: oh god, just just splashing back to that time on
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: the show, how completely stressed out I was. I mean, yeah, yeah, no,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: I am possibly going to that thing and take it lightly.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: If if someone were to go to that thing and
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: take it lightly, they are complete idiot because you are
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: really playing with people's emotions and feelings, and you know
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: it's not going to work if they're taking it lightly.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: But you have to really have your head in the game,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: and I know who you are and know what you're
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: looking for, and be serious about it and be in
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: the moment. So yeah, if you're taking it lightly, it
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: is most definitely not going to work. It will end
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: up even though it doesn't end up, you know, I
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: just saw there have been these interviews because it's like
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: the twentie anniversary coming up. Um. The news media has
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: been covering it and they've been interviewing, you know, the
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: people the successful relationships from the show. And I remember
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: reading um recently about the percentage you know, of how
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: many people work out compared to how many people are
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: relationships don't from Bachelor, Bachelor, Bachelor in Paradise, all of them,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: and you know, the percentage is pretty low. But I
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: want to turn around and say, but you know what,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: so is the percentage in real life? Like how many
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: people do you actually date in your dating life until
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: you meet the person that you spend the rest of
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: your life with? Well? How many time to count? Like
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: casual dates, you know, friends setting you up in your bowling.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: You know, there's like a million different types of interactions
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: you can have a people. And you're right, I mean,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: I get it, you're right. The numbers aren't great. But
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: the so there's this saying about I don't want to
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: offend anyone, but a girlfriend of mine, a friend of
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: mine who's a girl, not a girlfriend. A friend of
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: mine who's a girl, said this saying to me once
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: about Anchorage, Alaska, and I love the Anchorage Alaska for
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: all your Alaskans who might be tuning in today. But
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: I remember saying to her one night and she's a
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: really pretty girl and she works there Anchorage, and I
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: was like, God, and she's single, you know, And I
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: was like, it just doesn't make sense to me, Like
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: you're so pretty and you're so successful. I mean, do
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: you not want to be in a relationship, because that
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: makes sense if that's the case. But I'm like, everywhere
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: we go there's like ninety guys to one girl, and
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: she goes, oh, yeah, that's very right, that's very true.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: The odds the odds are good and the goods are odds.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: And I thought it was so funny. I've never heard
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: that saying before and so purely struck me as funny.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: But I started thinking about it, like you said, you know,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: like the relationships that, yeah, there there are a few
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: relationships that that seemed to go like work out and
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: where they get married and everything. But other than one,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: there haven't been any knock on wood of those relationships
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: that haven't stayed together. So you know, those relationships have
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: really stood the test of time from the from the
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: show too. And I think, you know, I think there's
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: definitely a formula left for that. Um. I think it's
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: a mental formula that the couples that get together at
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: the end have to have being completely locked step with
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: to understand, you know, we got to protect this thing,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: and we don't care. You know, we're not going to
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: do this, this and this, We're gonna do this right.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: And you know, that's a big thing. And and I
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: think it's something to be very proud of because there
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: aren't a ton of them that come out and stay
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: in the test of time and yourselves, Sean, I mean
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Shan and Catherine and and you're right, like expanding the
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: shows really kind of help that, Like you know, Jaden Tanner,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean there's a lot of those relationships
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: that came off of different variations of the show too. Yeah, No,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: I agree. I I feel very lucky obviously that I
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Ryan and we have been able to be successful. But
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of things go into making a
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: relationship successful. And um, you know, we have our off days,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: as does everybody. Um, we have our great days, and
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: I think it's just a matter of, um, you know,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: all of the things that they talk about in every
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: single self help marriage book, relationship book, there is just
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: you know, forgiveness and and friendship and um, trust and
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: communication and all the all the core things you know,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: like they really, Um, it's it's what you do. We've
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: always said that it's what you do with your relationship
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: after the show that matters. Because yes, they introduced us
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: and we are very grateful for that, but after the show,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: we've put in a lot of hard work and dedication. Yeah,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: it completely is on you. So and and sometimes just
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: one person isn't they realize that they're not ready, or
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: they realize that they learned something about the other person
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: that is not in sync with what they're looking for.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Whatever happens, I mean, life happens. You go back to
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: work and the work stress and the friends. Ourselves, let's
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: not hut ourselves calling off of a show like this
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: where your private jets everywhere. Right, You're taking the private
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: jet everywhere you want to go. You're you know, flying
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: into a volcano and a helicopter. You're doing all this
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: great stuff. And then it's like, Okay, well my car
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: has been in the shop for two weeks. You know, yeah,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: I'm going back to the studio apartment or whatever. You know,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: there is a change that comes from that. I didn't
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: even though, I mean, you know, like I was watching
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: the show last night, just kind of playing it back
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: in my mind, how I was so like floor with
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: the look of the mansion right when I when I
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: walked up to it, and you remember the mansion I'm
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: talking about. It's not the cool one that one sees nowadays.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: And I remember going, oh my god, this place is awesome.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: And then I remember having to ask if we could
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: clean the pool so I could swim in it because
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: it was like so green with al they were like, yeah,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: I might take it there too, you know. And then
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: my room when and something. I used to laugh about
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: the room that we had because we had the same room, uh,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: you know when we filmed our different shows. And he's like,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: isn't it weird that the closet is like a curtain,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: like you're in this, you know, million dollar house. It's like, yeah,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: no doubt. And then like the kitchen, you know, the
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: sink didn't work. You're like, oh, maybe you sink right
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: here in the bathroom off the side. I'm like, you know,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: it was just kind of crazy. So I just thought,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know, it's so funny, you know, looking back
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: on it and you know, remembering that whole thing. So okay.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: So I am really interested to get to our first
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: guest because she is one that you didn't have a
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: lot of time with, but yet you have said that
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: you reconnected with her later in life. I'll I'll let
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: you tell that story, but let's take your break and
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: then we'll bring on our first guest. Sounds great, m h.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Welcome back, everybody. I'm really excited to be able to
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: talk to Julie Smith, who actually is a pro in
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: the field. Now she'll probably be interviewing us by the
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: time this conversation starts. Um, but Julie, welcome and um
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: say hi, say hi to your ex boyfriend. How I
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: am great, you look beautiful as always. Thank you, thank you.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: I'm on my I'm gonna break from mom at work
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: right now, so it's not away. Well, thank you for
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: sneaking away. I know you're probably delivering all the pressing
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: news and weather and traffic and everything else that you do. Um.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: So I was telling this story about when we were
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: talking about bringing on guests from our season and I said,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: you know, I want to bring on someone who I said,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: we have the most unique relationship of most people I
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: know from this whole franchise, especially if they were on
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: the same season together, which was Um, Julie was on
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: my season and she was she was, uh, someone who
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: I hardly got to talk to the first time. I
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: think you talked to my mom actually more than you. Yeah,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: I didn't get to talk to you hardly at all.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: And I don't know if you know this part, but
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: I know I've told you this. But there was a
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: point in um, like, what would have been the next
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: I guess theoretically the next episode, but there was a
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: point where I went to the producers and I said,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: you know, if I could have a golden robe or
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: something like, I loved it and I thought about it.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I'd like to bring back Julie and Shay
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: because I never got to talk to was the firefighter,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, I never got to talk to them
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: very much if I found them both attractive, and the
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: thirty seconds that I got to speak to each of them,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: I was like having a nice conversation. And Julie, uh,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: you know, Julie and I obviously she went home the
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: first night. We didn't get any more time together. And
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: then randomly a few years later, I'm at the Kentucky Derby,
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: which has become, uh ah an annual thing, and uh
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: the one of the first people I'm sitting there with
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: is Julie Smith. And Julie's from Louisville, and Julie is
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: a you know, she's always done the red carpet stuff there.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: She does a ton of interviews there. She's been on
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: a couple of the TV shows there before she relocated,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: which I'll let her tell our own story there. But
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: she became one of my favorite people in the world.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: And I love, I love our friendship. I love I
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: love who you are, and I love how our friendship
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: has grown over twenty years to be you know, I
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: mean we we actually might be next to Tristan Ryan,
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: the longest relationship to come out of that. I don't
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: know that's a good point. I never thought about it
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: that way, but you're right out. I didn't either until
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: I just said that. But remember Julie. Julie came up
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: to me one year. We we we knew this story,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: but I don't think the new the newspapers anything new.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: And Julie came up to me one year with Rose
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: remember you and well, okay, hold on so well boy,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Well no, I hadn't. I think I know what you're
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: talking about. Your talking about. It was at a gifting suite, right,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: we got But here's what I before that, even I
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: don't know if you remember, but the very first time
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: after the whole Bachelor and a few years later at
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: the Derby, the first time we even spoke, reconnected and
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: really got introduced properly. Um. We were actually at the
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: track at Churchill Downs and I forget what hubbub was
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: going on. But for those who don't know, the Kentucky
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Derby is also called the Run for the Roses. The
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: winning horse gets a huge, beautiful rose garland. So if
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: you go to Louisville, anywhere you are, there's just a
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: giant bouquet of red roses everywhere everywhere, So they're all
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: over the place. So the first time we met, actually
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Bob just yanks one of them out of one of
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: these decorations and he walks up behind me. He said,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: I think I owed you this time spoke. I loved it,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: and it was and it was true because you know,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think at the end of the day,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: I think we've proven you and I we've always gotten
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: along great. And yeah, it's such a bummer we didn't
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: get to me. But that's a prime example of you know,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: we're just that. I were talking about some of the
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: pressures you feel when you're the bachelor person, like when
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: she has a bachelor me as a bachelor, Um, it's like,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: oh my god, what if I missed that person? What
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: if I didn't get to talk to the person that's
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: the right person, you know, And it's crazy because you
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: go through that experience and you literally live with so
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: much self doubt, especially in the early episodes, because you
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: don't know anything right. It's like, well, and it was
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: season four, so not only was the episode one, but
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: the whole thing was still so new, and you know,
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: I feel like somebody can go on that show now
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: and they have so much content to research. You know.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: The most research I did was to watch the previous
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: season to see what to pack to where. Yeah? Really right? No? Yeah,
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: So how was your experience on the show? Did you
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: tell us about tell us about your experience? Well, Um,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: and Bob, we've told told these stories a hundred times,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: but sometimes something new may pop up. But for me,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: it was definitely one of those. I literally tripped and
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: fell into it. They at the time. I don't know
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: how long they did this, but you know, they always
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: had people from across the country sending in at that time, Bob,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: during our season it was VHS tapes. Oh yeah, what
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: I'm talking But I used to do that, but they
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: had all that, but they used to take something called
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: the love Bus around the country. Were you all aware
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: of this? I knew that they went to different places,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: but I didn't know It had a name the Love Bus.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: For real. There was a giant tricked out like van
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: and these do you all remember Duran oh fear, I
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: think it's how you say he was. Yeah, he was
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: one of the casting guys. And long story short, they
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: drove this thing around the country and what they told
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: me was they wanted to When they came to Louisville, Kentucky,
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: they had started to try to get a little more
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: into Middle America and the South. They were they had
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: exhausted the beach towns and the big cities and they
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: wanted quite unquote more real. Um. Not to say that
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: others aren't, but that's what they were getting at. But
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: anyway I stumbled into it. I wasn't going to this
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: giant cattle call. I was out celebrating a birthday with
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: a friend and those guys were at the same bar
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: having a drink, and so many women had clamored around them.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: When they found out who they were, they said, hey,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: let's let's turn the lights on and turn the cameras
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: on now and start doing something that's actually know what
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: I do remember you telling me that they did that
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: when you were out, and that is crazy. That is
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: so funny. I'm convinced that what sort of I guess
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: grabbed the producers and is because I wasn't there to
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: audition or to answer the right questions. I was celebrating birthday,
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: so I was a good two glasses of wine in
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: by the time they set the camera on me. Yeah,
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: which I think is what they thought they were going
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: to continue to get throughout. And I'm so sad they didn't.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: So you didn't, did Bob's send you home? And I'm sorry, Bob.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: I know this probably breaks your heart, but he sent
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: you home the first night, right he did? And he's right.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: We barely got to talk. I remember walking down some
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: little pathway and before they send somebody in, I was
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: gonna someone interrupted us. Yeah, I remember, Am I allowed
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: to spill beans? Here? Is that? Okay? Exactly? Put that
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: thing back up again. But yeah, they definitely are coming up.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Have you talked to Bob yet? No? Not yet. He's talking.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Is someone we'll go interrupt that? I said, I don't
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: really want to do that. That's not what I would
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: normally do. And they nudge and they said, well, okay,
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: you know it's on you. You You might you know that
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: kind of thing. So someone interrupted us. But I just remember, Um,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, I was having a great time the little
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: cocktail party. The girls were so great. Kelly Joe's coming
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: on after me. I spent of my time laughing at her.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: She just I mean, just listening to her laugh made
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: me laugh. So I was happy the best. But Bob
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: was just a flash, like I barely saw him. Um,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: and I did I think our episode one you catch
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: me something really cheesy? I think I said. Your mom
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: asked me how do I like the Midwest? And I
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: said something about being a whimp in the cold, but
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: I can handle it. Yes, I remember, yes, right An,
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: It's what I would have said, right, RELI I did,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: like I think you might have gone out the night
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: before partying because you your voice was a little h
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: I didn't. So you've seen that link that just went out,
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: didn't you know? You told that Lindsey put that out there.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: But Trista and I we got a little summary to watch,
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: you know, just to remind usel and your voice sounds
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: it totally different, messed. I have a good, good, very
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: good point. I don't know at that time very likely,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: I mean we had been but they have us on lockdown.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: You know, basically quar so I know it was not
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: to say it wouldn't have brought you wine if you
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: if you asked, you know for sure. I was really
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: hoarse though. Yeah that's when I watched it back, I
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: win what was wrong with me? But you know that
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: could have been left over from a few days prior
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: in Louisville, because I had the time and energy to
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: be a responsible adult during the week of my full
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: time job and had time and energy on the weekend.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: So what does your life look like now you're obviously
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: a TV host? Yeah, and that didn't happen for a
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: few years later. So at the time I'm trying to
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: I think they had sales representatives down, which I was. Um,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: I was in pharmaceutical sales at the time that we
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: filmed A Bachelor, and um, a few years later, things
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: just very slowly. It was like a slow drip. So
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: you go back home, of course, and everybody's very excited
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: the girl I was on the Bachelor and you're and
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: I'm still very um, not weirded out, but it was
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: just I was like, if they only knew how normal this.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I was on the Bachelor, but outside
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: of that, you and I are exactly the same. But
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: it was came because I enjoyed people so much. So
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: I loved chatting it up with new people and that,
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: and that went on for a while, and then so
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: I was asked to um be a guest on a
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: local talk show to promote a charity event. I think
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: it was a different one than Bob and I met
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: at But I went on that show as a guest
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: and had a blast. And again I'm in sales at
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: the time, but it was one of those things people
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: always asked me, have you ever considered news or hosting?
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: And I don't know. That wasn't my you know what
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: I studied. And this host calls me back a week
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: later and says, have you ever thought about two in this?
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: And I said, all right, what's going on here? There's
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: something I need to look into. And before I knew it,
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: I was as co host on a one hour talk show.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: No experience, I mean, no problem talking clearly, the red
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: carpet interviews and everything else. And then you know, Julie's
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: gonna sell this short. But she's she really is a
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: go getter, and she put together her stuff and started networking,
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: and but it was always pretty organic, and then she
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: ended up landing a huge job. I mean you had
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: to relocate and everything. Yeah, I was. I spent three
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: years out in l A and didn't even know until
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: halfway through my time there that Bob lived down. I
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: mean we were friends at this point, I just didn't
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: know where we would we would we would see each
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: other every year in Louisville to Derby and and then
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: then we find out we were like literally three miles

  Speaker 1: Julie Smith was just on with us and she was
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: sending her love her so much and Kelly. So yesterday
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: I reached out to Kelly Joe and we're, you know,
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: just kind of chatting and tell you. I was like,
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: well listen, I mean, I'll come on, but I've got
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: a hair appointment and uh so you know, and I'm like, well,
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: then take your cell phone, don't take your laptop and
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: be too cumbersome. She's like, you got that, yes, um,
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: And did you tell anyone else how you came up
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: on my phone? I did not. I was gonna save
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: that for you tell me this is so funny. You
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: guys so talk about O G kind of stuff. We
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: He messages me and he's like, Kelly, Joe, it's Bob
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: And I was like what his name came up as
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: Sarah be Guinea Montest, like full on pseudo name that
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: I probably was trying to hide back in the day.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: If he texts me late night, no Joe, that is
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: his hysterical what's mon test for? It's almost very Briton,
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: I guess, But I don't know why Montest. I think
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: because I used to work at a Monster story back then.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: I have no idea, honestly, no clue. But why would
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: I tell Sarah? And then it was Sarah. It didn't
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: even have an h I was Sarah without an age,
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, no, I think I would be Sarah
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: with an ah. But you look like you look like
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: you have an age. Just a little extra because if
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: we communicated it was now through social media and I
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: didn't even remember having his cell phone. Yeah, probably very
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: random because we've we've talked a couple of times over
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: the years. It's always been great, but it's always you're right.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: It's always been through Facebook or Instagram, or whatever. So
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: so wait, what I need to know is, since you
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: have his phone number in there and you have like
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: a fake name for him, were you guys talking after
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: there's a show, like when you were with a Stella Bob. No,
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, okay, I don't think so. I mean I
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: don't think we chatted. I remember chatting. Well, when the
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: number you have for me is a wrong is not
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: the number I had? That? Oh that's weird. Well but
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: but okay, so during our season, how we had to
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: call each other, Ryan and I. They gave us a
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: number to call and then it patched us through. So
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: it was a fake number, like they were so scared
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: that you guys have because we had. Of course we did.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: Oh yes, we had code names. Well yours with Sarah. Yeah,
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: yours was Sarah. I was Sarah b Montes apparently, yeah,
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: because that wasn't my phone number back then, so I
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: didn't have that. That was a number that they that
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: the producers gave you that it would patch you through
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: or whatever to want to connect. I remember talking to
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: Bob right after when they had original cast me as
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: the Bachelorette, and you were like, Kelly, you should do it.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: This is it's worth it. And I was like, it's
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: worth it. They're not even gonna pay me, and you
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: were like, all right, we need to have the discussion.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: I remember you helping me through like the thought process.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: But then I think they did like a demo, a demographic, um,
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: and they did a poll and they didn't believe that
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: a twenty three year old could carry into having a relationship.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: So that's when they cast Meredith. Yeah, and you guys
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: were friends. It looked like so when you watch we
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: watched this first episode, Uh, just look bananas, um, even
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: though mine looks crazy now, mine looked mine matched years, Bob.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: I think that's why I kind of turned it together.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: It was like the curly Jerry pearl. By the way,
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: mine wasn't an Ogilvie homeperm. That's all natch it all,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: you know? I mean you who the friends going on
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: right here? We're all girlfriend for anyone. Um. So when
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: we when I watched the show, I had actually forgotten
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: that Meredith was on your season, Bob. And then and
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: then it all plicked. But you see you and Meredith
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: together a lot. Were you guys? Were you guys friends?
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: Like after the show, and how did you feel about
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: her becoming the bachelorette. So I loved Meredith. She was
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: my go to um. Early on in the kild they
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: did this crazy psychology thing where we had to vote
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: who was most likely to be with Bob and who
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: is most likely not to be, which was actually terrible.
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: There was tears and I was like what anyway, we
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: were all getting along and then all of a sudden
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: it was just this like gong show and I and
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: of course because we all got along, and they're like,
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: we gotta stir this up. So Meredith was I think,
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: on everyone's list, and her and I just became close.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: She was like a big sister. Her her grandma died
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: on the show, and her and I would just because
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: I had lost my dad, so like we had like
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: a very similar loss, and we just would sit and
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: have some darts and lots and lots of Margarita's and
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: then her and I just became close. And then post
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: show we were super close to and we've chatted every
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: once in a while. I think she's gone through some
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: struggles up at ups and downs, but we still all talk. Yeah,
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: that's awesome. I always thought that about about the season
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: of the women that were on my season, trists that, like,
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: you know, you and I have talked a lot about
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: how the guys all got along, and I always thought
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: that same way, Like I was kind of weird about it. Anybody.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: I was like, guys, please, don't you know, I don't
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: think that, you know, drama back here is going to
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: make anything happen over here, you know. But they didn't
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: need that because they were like that with themselves right away.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: They were all very confident, very beautiful women. They all
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: got along great, and so I actually found that to
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: be such an attractive quality and all of you know
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: that they were yeah, yeah, right, Ah, we were a
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: good cast. And still to this day, we're on this
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: Facebook thread and we just joke around and we're like,
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: we still need a reunion because it would be so
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: much fun. I've been I've been just different that for
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: a while. I don't know if you guys, I feel
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: like they just put so many women against each other
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: on The Bachelor. Now that it's some men now too,
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: and men now too, Yeah, I would actually say the men.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: It feels like the men are worse than the women. Frankly,
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: like when you watch The Bachelorette. Now, I feel like
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: those guys come in for blood, and it's like, yeah,
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, I do, I do agree with you guys.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: It does seem like the women definitely are a lot

• 44:08
  Speaker 1: many people together and they're you know, vying for the
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: attention of one person. But I just feel like I

  Speaker 1: It's it's really nice, Um, to have these people in

  Speaker 1: and kids. It's so great. It's not weird, it's not
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: you know, awkward, it's just nice. And I think, um,
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: that's got that's got to come from the advice that
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: Trista gave me actually when when I was going to
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: be a bachelor, and this was something I took very seriously,
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: where you were like, you know, just be honest, just
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: be as forthcoming as you can and just and so
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: I tried, you know, even when it didn't work out,
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: you know, so great. I tried to be like, hey, look,
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: this is it, you know, I hope it's okay, you know.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: And obviously it didn't work out for me on the
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: Bachelor of the way that it worked out for you on,
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: but still an awesome experience and a lot of fun
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: and clearly a lot of lifelong friendships that have come
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: out of it which have been pretty amazing. Yeah, including
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: you for me, Bob. Again, this was so much fun.
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: Love it and I hope that all of you out
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: there are enjoying listening. I know Ashley and Ben cannot
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: really be replaced, but we hope that we're just a
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: little you know, extra and a different wrinkle and don't
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: use the word wrinkle, you know about my face now
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: with a fifty year old woman almost yeah, one year
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: old man Oh my lord, Yeah, I feel every inch
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: of it. In fact, you know, I was gonna say,
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: I want to I I mentioned this the other day, um,
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: texting with you, but I was thinking about like where
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: my life was and where your life was when we
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: were on these shows, which is twenty years ago this year,
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: I guess, and where they are today, and um, you
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: know I always teasingly say that, you know, Trista gets
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: ready for her time on the radio with her glam
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: squad doing her hair and makeup and getting her all that,
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: you know, But our lives are so it's so interesting
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: because I'll still run too people and they you know,
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: what are you doing at Kroger? I'm like, uh, guys,
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: you handed out flowers twenty years ago. Still need to
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: eat chicken? You know, it happens. I need some cereal, um,
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: you know, or whatever it might be. So it's kind
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: of funny. So I would love for us to kind
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: of talk a little bit about that on our next
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: show too, because I do think it's a lot of fun.
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: The the what did I say on the thing? The
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: versus g there you go o versus our real life
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: versus Instagram, which versus our real life versus real life. Yeah.
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: I mean I think that Ashley and Ben actually do
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: a really good job of talking about this, Like Ashley
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: shows up feeding the baby, you know, like Ben's got
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: you know, the dog barking in the background. Whatever. I
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: think that they're really good at at showing everyone real life.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: So I I'm all all about talking about reality, the
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: reality away from Reality TV. Maybe maybe next episode, maybe
• 51:44
