  Speaker 1: last night, I said, Jess, people are blowing this up.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: And she goes why. I said, because they think it
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: looks white. And she goes, what if the bride wanted
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: me to wear white? Is that okay for me to
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: wear white? And I said yes, So Jess was the
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: turn of honor and so like this was a choice. Um,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: people like people are just wild. They just love to hate.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: They do love to hate. My sister did the exact
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: same thing once. She wore a light blue dress to
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: a wedding. In person, it was very much light blue,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: no confusion about that. But in pictures and like in
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: the actual like wedding photos, it did turn out white
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: and the bride got piss Yeah. Well, I don't think
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: this bride, this bride's not the time brad to get mad.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: It was a beautiful wedding, though it was. We had.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: The wedding was at Frederika Country Club in St. Simon's Island. Um.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Two things from this one. That island is wild. Oh
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: my gosh. My aunt and uncle got married on that
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: island in Georgia. Yeah, so pretty. You know, I was
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: there over fifteen years ago. Still have like a vivid memory.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Just the feel of the air. It's beautiful. And we
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: were playing golf. We played golf two days. Uh and
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: uh there is one golf course right next to the
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: private airport there on St. Simon's Island. Every ten minutes
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: of private jet flies in. So my question for the
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: audience is, how does so many people have so much money? Like,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: how does that happen in this world? I don't get it. Uh.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Second off, I got really some burned. We had a
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: great day at the beach. Actually, I'll show you. I
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: don't think our listeners look at this. Yeah, you know,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: you just have to get your first base of. And
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: that's a really bad dermatological advice. And I sure your
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: wife would tell you that, but you know it's the truth.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: You know, you gotta burn one before you can get
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: to Yeah, some burns aren't fun. I've literally I felt
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: like everything I touched yesterday, uh like almost brought me
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: to my knees. I feel better today, thanks to my
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: wife and the alle I showered and then there was
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: alo and then Jessica like put cold packs on my
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: body because she knew like what to do. We made
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: it work. Feeling better today. But great wedding weekend, um
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: and miss miss the Pup. What did you do this weekend?
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: What did I do this weekend? It was pretty uneventful.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: My baby cried a lot. That's that's pretty much what
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: happened this weekend. I wish that I could say that
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: something there was something exciting. Not so much. But we
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: did have our first karaoke night at Audrey's on Friday,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: and that was a blast. First off, didn't know so
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: many people loved karaoke, like was packed and so many
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: people willing to do it. I'm just a little chicken.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: I'm a little too embarrassed by my voice. I'll do
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: it eventually, but not open and willing. I'm gonna need
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: a lot of drinks. Well yeah, I was gonna say,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: you know, you know when I do karaoke that I've
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: had a good night. Um, because there's only one way
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I'm getting on that stage, only one way. So next
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: time I'm going to need a d D and a babysitter.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: That's right? Is this true? Did Dawson make his first
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: appearance to Audrey's this weekend? No, He's been there a ton.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: He comes to every Wednesday Trivia night. The time there.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: He loves being in public. It's really awesome because he's
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: actually on his best behavior when he's out. When he's home,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: he gets bored and that's when he gets cranky. But
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: if he's out at a restaurant, he is smiling, he's
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: saying hello to everyone. It's really cool. I wondered because
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I saw an Instagram where or TikTok. I don't know
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: what you guys, you kids are doing these days, but
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Instagram real Yeah, where Jared had like a shirt on
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: with like a baby carrier and he's going around saying
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: hi to people and it just looked awesome. That's our
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: regular life. Yeah, there're a lot doing that, always hanging
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: around like a little monkey on our chest. You know
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: what else I realized this weekend, Ashley What there's a
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: big difference between thirty three and twenty six. Um, well,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: yeah there are seven years and they are pretty much massive.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Seven years because was I was on the Bachelor, and
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: four is what about now? Well, because Jess's friends we
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: all say, in this big, old, beautiful house, fifteen of
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: us and I love her friends like they're friends of
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: mine now. But when it comes to like eleven pm,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: those people have different ideas for how the night's gonna
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: end than I do. Like in my mind, I'm like
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: I've made it to eleven pm, I've done well, We've
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: had a great day, and their mind, they're like, this
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: day is just getting started. Like, um, that's one thing
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I learned, And it's also one thing I learned that
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: like I just don't I don't recover well from lack
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: of sleep. It's not even drinking, it's lack of sleep. Uh,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: if you're giving me six hours of sleep three days
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: in a row, this boy's gonna suffer. Well, can't wait
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: for you to enter her paras is not bad and
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I've become I've always been a night owl. I've always
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: like had my creative juices roll a little bit better
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: at night. I'd like to do how stuff at night,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: but even more so now because say he goes to
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: sleep at I know I'm I have him on a
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: bad sleep schedule because it's like our adult sleep schedule.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: But he'll fall asleep between probably real like tennis, and
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: then I'll have three hours or so to do stuff
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: around the house and then, like I enjoyed that time,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: that alone time to get things done from like ten
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: to one am, and then I'll feed him and then
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: he goes back to bed. So I'm a night owl
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: officially again. So like to bring it on. Oh my goodness. Well, hey, uh,

• 13:23
  Speaker 1: sets a personal record after running Boston Marathon. I wish
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: we were able to talk to him about this. You
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: know that I'm always so mind boggled when people are
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: able to run marathons. Um But he says that the
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: running has been really beneficial for him, and he revealed
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: that running was a way for him to take care
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: of his mental health. He said that exercise has kept
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: his head in the right place and helped him deal
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: with everything that's happened since. But the main part of
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: this is his personal record. Right, he did the marathon
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: in just over three hours and forty nine So three hours,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: that's so inferessive. Ben, What is your mile per you know,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: minute ratio? Oh my, I mean not this, but I
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: ran an half marathon and I averaged seven minutes in
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: ten seconds for the half, which is that's incredible to
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: you know what I used to run in high school.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: It was like eight thirty on a good day for
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: how many miles? Well, we were forced to run two
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: and a half miles in twenty minutes to get an A,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: and it was two miles and a quarter to get
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: a B, and then it would be a yeah maybe
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: that one time that was not I'm telling you that
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: wasn't typical. I got an A in gym class, but
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: not in that particular you know event. Oh well your
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: name in my book and you worked out just fine.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Hey Ashley, Uh, super interesting feedback from Coachella this year.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: You know, there were stories of side parties outside of
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Coachella kind of turning into firefast. I don't even know buses,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah I did. I read a bunch of articles. Busses
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: couldn't get to the pickup location and so people stood
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: out in the sun without water food for hours waiting
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: for busses that never showed up, or if they did
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: show up, they were packed out. Um. It just ended
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: up being kind of a mess. Now, people did make
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: it to the Revolved party and it sounded like it
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: was awesome. We saw Instagram videos from those. Um, but
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: people are kind of making fun of it because you know,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: there was videos where people were like, I'm an influencer.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: I have this fower posted that and I couldn't believe
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: are an influencer. Influencers are allowed in. Yeah, it's it
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: was ridiculous. Um. But anyways, Coachella, you know, for as
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: much people to make fun of it, people also like
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: to attend it and go to it. It It looks like
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: a lot of fun. But Nick Vile, Brie Springs, and
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Hannah Godwin and more Bachelor Nations stars attended Coachella in
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: style this year. That's according to Bachelor Nation. Well but Ben,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: you said it looks like a lot of fun. You
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: know that doesn't look like a lot of fun to you. No,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: not to me, No, not to me. I'm pretty good.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: I've never been. It looks amiss to me. But the
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: outfits are amazing. And shout out to Nick and his
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: girlfriend and Brief Springs and Hannah Godwin for having and
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Katie Thurston and Dylan Barber and all the Bachelor and
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Amandistan and like everybody who went and looked amazing. Like
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: I do really joy seeing all the pretty pictures and
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, I could never look that cool. I mean,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: that's why I don't like going is because I just
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: know if I win, I tried to dress cool, I
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: would look like a fool. Could you imagine me? And
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Jared going there and like whearing hippie clothes. It just
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: wouldn't work for us. No, that's just not it's not
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: our thing here. Actually, it's not what we're like. It's
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: not what makes us feel most alive, and so as
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: a result, we don't do it. But I was watching
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: the Instagram videos at time, getting envious and jealous honestly
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: of them there, and then and then it would hit
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: me It's like, yeah, but if I was there, that
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: means I had to travel there and stand in the
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: heat there and listen to really love music there and
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: be up for hours and people on drugs and then
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: like um, not being able to get an uber and
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: then like wanting to drive but not having a place
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: to park, and then having to walk two miles in
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: the heat and then all that dust being swept into
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: your lungs and you know, yeah, so then then then
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: I come back to reality. They're just jealous they weren't invited. No,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: that's fair too well. I mean there's a moment where
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: I was jealous that we weren't there, and then like
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: I said, reality hit and I was like, no, I'm
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: pretty good, pretty good, you know what I'm jealous of?
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: I'm jealous. I am jealous of the fact that like
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: fashion brands don't look at me and be like, you
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: know what, she's cool. She would look really cool in
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: our clothes. Like that makes me like a little sad.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: It makes me sad too, but hey, I'll get over it. Uh.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Mari Peppin shares a wedding planning update for her and Kenny.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: It's a big day, they say, this is exciting. Yeah,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: so they took a trip or their wedding planning. They
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: took a wedding planning trip to Puerto Rico for inspiration.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: She says, they don't have a date yet, um, but
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: the trip was all about getting the process started getting
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: ideas and she said she has so many ideas now.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: She said, I thought I had so many ideas just
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: because my Pinterest bore But now I know what colors
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: to use and the cake and everything like that. And
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: as for Kenny's role, Mari says, he's involved, but he's
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: letting her really make her vision come to life. Again.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: There isn't a date yet, but they have a few
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: ideas sorted out. But like where it's gonna take place? Um,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: They agreed that they will get married in Puerto Rico
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: because she has a lot of family there, her grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, everyone.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: She says, um, so they haven't narrowed down to four venues,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: but they haven't been able to see them all in
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: person yet, just through pictures online. So these are the
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: things that they had to get off the checklist. What
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: a what a special day love story coming from Bachelor
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: in Paradise. Well, uh, one of the women that I
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: was on The Bachelor with, Amanda Stanton, has recently opened
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: up about why she doesn't discuss her daughter's dad publicly. Yeah. So,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Amanda was actually on our Mother's Day podcast last week
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: and she talks a little bit about the girls, of
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: course because it's Mother's Day and how much they matured.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: It was Kinsley's tenth birthday this weekend, but she doesn't
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: really talk about the dad, their dad, and that is
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: obviously very respectable. She says, I avoid these questions because
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: I've never I've mentioned anything in the past. It always
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: tends to get picked up by the media, and that's
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: not what I want. It's conflicting because I have so
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: much to say about what I've gone through and what
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: I've learned that I know I could truly, I could
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: truly help people by explaining what I've gone through, especially
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: single parents. Um, but I have to do as best
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: with my girls always and protect my piece, which is
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: really important to me these days. So she says that
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: that's basically why she doesn't talk about any of the
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: relationship that she has with the ex husband, And she said,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: the last time I vaguely answered a question about it,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: like if we have a relationship was over two years ago,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: and I just said something along the lines of no,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: we don't, and I don't think we ever will. And
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: that still holds true. Um, I'm genuinely rooting for him,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: and I hope it can change one day. Um, and
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: for anybody in a similar situation, she says, I just
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: hope that you know you're not alone and I'm sending
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: you so much love. So obviously, like she has a
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: little bit of a relationship to the point where like
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: she needs to switch the girls off when they go
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: to their dads and stuff, but there's no like friendship there. Well, um,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: some questions answered. I know people have wondered about that.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: But it's also great on Amanda to keep her private
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: life private and to share with US public people. What
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: she wants to share with US public people. Well, last
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: headline of a day something, UM and somebody that went
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: public recently with their relationship, Hannah Ann. You might remember
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: her from Peter season of The Bachelor, So bachel Nations.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Hannah and reveals what her parents think of new boyfriend
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Jake Funk, who is a football player for the Los
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Angeles Rams. Yeah, they came out about their relationship on
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl Sunday, so that was pretty cool. She says
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: that now they've he's met, They've met the parents. I've
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: met his parents, who said, And then the next week, Um,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: I had my parents come out from Tennessee. They made
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: the trip to California and they met him. Um. And
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: then his parents all also came out and they met
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: the same day. It was really fun. She said. They
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: adore him and they think that he's such a great
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: fit for her and Um. She said that he will
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: get to see her country upbringing, which will be really
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: fun when she does take him home to Tennessee for
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: a visit this summer. She says that she and Jake
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Um have a common vision for their future. She doesn't
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: want to change anything about him. She says that he's
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: her best friend and they truly just enjoy being around
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: each other. And she's also said that she's uh m hmm.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: And she also said she's making all the efforts to
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: get acquainted with his world, his football world, and uh
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: he's teaching her all about the scoring rules of NFL
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: games so she'll be more of a fan. She said
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: she grew up in the South, where it was all
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: about college football versus NFL, and she went to her
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: first NFL game when they just first started dating. You've
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: never been to an NFL game before, so like, yeah,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: that's pretty crazy. It's so funny. I'm so far removed
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: from college football, Like I just I don't know anything
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: about college football, but I love my NFL. It's all
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: about where you grew up. Yeah, but it scored the same,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: so you learn, Well, what she means here is she
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean scored like you know what a touchdown is,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: you know six points. What she means is um like
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: NFL overtime rules. I think, well, hey, I mean that's great,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: but once you learn one, you learn both, and so
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: you just it's kind of one of those things that's
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: really beneficial for everybody learned this is football rules. Um yeah, well, hey,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: that's all the headlines we have for you today. Again,
