• 0:16
  Speaker 3: viral this week now. I want to step to you, Rachel.

• 0:40
  Speaker 3: hoping to bring the Bachelor Happy Hour?
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: It's so funny.
• 0:43
  Speaker 5: I was just talking to Joan and trist I'm like,
• 0:45
  Speaker 5: this is so much harder than I thought. I think
• 0:48
  Speaker 5: when I've always co hosted with you, Ben, we always
• 0:50
  Speaker 5: just have a plan.
• 0:51
  Speaker 6: We go in, we know what we're.
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: Going to talk about.
• 0:54
  Speaker 5: But I think the thing that's going to be a
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: little different with me and Charity is we're definitely not
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: afraid to hold back aurinion, even if it's not the
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: popular one. I think I'm blocked by several of Jen's
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: men from her.
• 1:07
  Speaker 6: Season just for going on Almost Famous mens.
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: I'm not going back, so I'm gonna try to be
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: as you know, polite as I can.
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: But I think me and Charity, we're.
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: Just gonna say it how it is so good bring
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: a little bit of controversy.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: If it creates the headlines, how are you going to
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: handle that? Though? I mean it does.
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: I do have to damage control a little bit when
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: I see him in.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: Person, for sure.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: Sure, yeah, sure, I mean it is a thing, yes,
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: But I think the thing that the two of you
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: can bring is the honesty, right Yeah. Almost Famous is
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: set up to have the interviews to try to get
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: to the heart of the matter, but we really don't
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: have that freedom. Neither Ashley or myself feel like super
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: comfortable just blatantly being like this is ridiculous because usually
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: my takes are wrong, I think.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: But it will come at you fast.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: But if people are listening and want to keep listening,
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: you're gonna do interviews, You're gonna break down episodes. Obviously, Taylor,
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Frankie Paul seasons coming up, You Were You and Trista
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: both were a part of that kind of reunion that
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: now is getting talked.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: About and shared.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Oh you were there too, all there, Oh amazing. I
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: would love for the three of you to like talk
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: about that. Obviously we saw it posted on social media.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: I think I knew it was happening because maybe just
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: like I had heard rumors. But it looks awesome. It
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: looked incredible. So what did you guys take away from
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: that kind of gathering?
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: It was bad, it was amazing.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: I mean like there's kind of two parts of it.
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: Like it was the first time that we had all
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: gotten together, and then we also all got to meet
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: Taylor Frankie Paul, So like the reason we were there
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: was to talk to her and to give her advice.
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: But we had some time. We had a lot of
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: time with just us and not with her. She was busy,
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: so we got to spent a lot of time together,
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: and I think we really got to know each other
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: and kind of solidified. We have this group chat that's
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: really special, but like you're having it with people that
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: you don't really know, Like we've watched each other seasons,
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: but we don't really know them. And we got to
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: really spend an entire day with each other in the
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: mansion like kind of where like a lot of us,
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: like our whole bachelor journeys began and really like solidifi
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: our friendships. So now in fact that we even had
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: a little group part of our group chat like give
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: each other our addresses because we got Christmas cards from
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: each other. I loved it. So it was like it
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: kind of kind of took all of our relationships to
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: a different level. But then we also got to hang.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Out with you now, Trista, I know that, like this
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: had to make your heart so full because knowing.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: You through the years, you have.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Not only been the first bachelorette, but then you kind
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: of wrap your arms around any bachelorette coming through the
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: whole group.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: It feels like you've really.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Kind of owned Hey, I want to like make this
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: feel like a family. And for years this show helped
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: with this. The show would bring us together different events,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: we'd have reunions, and it.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Kind of stopped.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Of the last six years, I would say, we haven't
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: had any though, So this was the first time in
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: a while.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: So we did one ten years ago, ten.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Years ago threats Yeah, okay.
• 4:08
  Speaker 7: Ten years before and it was Hannah Brown was filming
• 4:11
  Speaker 7: her season, so was everybody up to that point, or
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: almost everybody.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: But I love that you said that, because I do.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: I try to be very.
• 4:22
  Speaker 7: Intentional about just loving on everyone. I've said this like
• 4:30
  Speaker 7: a million times.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: We literally just talked.
• 4:32
  Speaker 7: I was just on her podcast and I said almost
• 4:36
  Speaker 7: exactly like that, that my heart is just so full
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: and I feel very maternal towards all of you, like
• 4:43
  Speaker 7: anybody who has been on the show after me, which
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: was which is everybody, all of us, I just feel
• 4:51
  Speaker 7: I just feel very maternal. So being able to be
• 4:54
  Speaker 7: in a room with I think there were sixteen of
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: us or yeah, writing seventeen seven Taylor, Okay plus Taylor,
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: So having all of us together, it just it truly
• 5:06
  Speaker 7: is a sisterhood and.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: It just makes my heart so happy.
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: And meeting Taylor, I I don't watch. I haven't watched
• 5:18
  Speaker 7: Mormon Wives, not to say that I won't before her
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: season because I have to, but I feel like there's
• 5:25
  Speaker 7: so much talk about who she is on Mormon Wives,
• 5:28
  Speaker 7: and you know how it's gonna be messy and chaotic
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: and all these things, and I feel like everyone is
• 5:34
  Speaker 7: probably going into it with this like preconceived notion of
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: who she's going to be and how she's going to
• 5:39
  Speaker 7: act and like all of these things.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: But you, guys, she is. She was so genuine.
• 5:44
  Speaker 7: She was so grateful to be there with all of us, Like,
• 5:46
  Speaker 7: didn't you feel the gratitude?
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: And she was to say yes, she It was like
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: genuine she was.
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: She wasn't looking around like wondering who the next person
• 5:58
  Speaker 7: was that she was going to talk to, or like
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: focusing on her producers. She was like when she was
• 6:03
  Speaker 7: in a conversation, she was invested and present and I
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: AM very serious, yes, and truly like she wasn't like
• 6:12
  Speaker 7: she was taking it seriously.
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: She was justice.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: So I.
• 6:18
  Speaker 7: Loved meeting her. I love welcoming anyone new.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, that's funny you say that, because I
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: don't know if you knew this. God works in the
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: most incredible ways. I'm announced as the Bachelor. You guys
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: probably don't know this story, and I don't know if
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: anybody actually does. I'm announced as the Bachelor, and my
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: aunt is a huge fan of the show, and they're
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: out visiting Denver, Colorado, and they take me to breakfast
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: like a week before my filming starts.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: And guess who's at the same breakfast spot as me.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: That day, Trista and Ryan and I get to meet
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: Trista for the first time. Another Hoosier go I U
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: whose arts at the breakfast spot a week before my
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: filming starts, and you can tell then I remember exactly
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: where I was at.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: It was right outside the door.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: I can literally pull up a picture that.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: She was going to care for me well, which is
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: one of those reminders of hey, I can do this
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: because you kind of feel like you don't. It's like
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: a mystery world. It was a big deal to me.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: I want to go back to Taylor for a second.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: I want to hear after meeting her. I've always had
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: this idea that she's going to be very similar to
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Caitlin Bristow, who was the Bachelorette when I was on
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: the show, who I love dearly, and I love her
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: because she was chaotic in the sense of she did
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: her own thing. She did it how she wanted to
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: do it. But she was honest, she was vulnerable, she
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: was open, and she was there for the right reasons.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: She really wanted to meet her partner and her lifelong
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: like partner through the show, but she just did it
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: in a way that nobody else had done.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: It before, right, and I have to respect that.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: And I've always thought Taylor was going to do something similar,
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: which I'm excited for. But two, you three have met her.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: I haven't met her. So let's start with you, Rachel.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: How do you think the season or will go? How
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: do you think she'll be as the bachelorette?
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: I think, I mean, it's such a good point because
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: we have all spoken in talking about how she would
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: be the most similar to Caitlin, just in an amazing way.
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: But I think the advantage that Taylor has that no
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: one else has is that she's going in and she
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: doesn't want to be the perfect bachelorette at all. And
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: I think everyone goes in and they say, oh, I
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: don't care about that, but you really you do. You
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: want the viewers to be happy, you want the producers
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: to be happy. You want to give a good season.
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: They chose you. Why would you not want that? And
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: I think she's going in knowing that she can do
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: whatever she wants. People are going to love her, people
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: are gonna hate her, and she's gonna get what she
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: wants to get out of it. And I think that's
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: going to give a season where she gets what she
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: wants and it's entertaining. Yeah, so I'm very excited to
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: watch her.
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: Yes, Joan, I feel the same way. You're so right,
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: Like she doesn't have to be somebody else, because everybody's
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: already seen who she is. She's been on Secret Lives,
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: and she's been unapologetically herself. She was part of the
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: Swinging scandal, She's had rougher relationships with other women, she's
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: had terrible relationships with the men. So I feel like
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: she's going in with everybody knowing who she is. I
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: was actually very surprised when I met her. I love
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: her on the show. I actually really really like her
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: on Secret Lives. I think she's so incredibly honest, and
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: I think like people's go to is usually to lie
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: if it makes them look bad, and she does not
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: do that. If it makes her look bad. She puts
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: it right out there and moves on.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: Amazing for us the viewer, because we'll get to know
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: where which we haven't gotten to know, you know, like
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: it's been a bit since we've kind of gotten to
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: feel like, I get this girl.
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: And when they were safe, you know, they always cast
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: somebody from her previous season because they want you to
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: know them, and we kind of be invested. They had
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: this person already because we all know her from Secret Lives.
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: But the person that I met at the mansion surprised
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: me a little bit. She was way more thoughtful, and
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: she I remember asking a certain question and I can't
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: repeat it, but it sounded like she knew what her
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: shortcomings were and she was asking. Three of us were
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: together actually when she was talking to us, and just
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: like how we thought she could overcome this, you know,
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: personality trait that she had, and like she was really
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: very thoughtful. I really feel like she's there for the
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: right reason, honestly, Joe, and I also think that she
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: didn't need to go on the show. She already had
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: Secret Lives. She would have just gone right on filming
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: that she did not need the show. I feel like
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: she's there because she wants to find somebody.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Trista, I do too.
• 10:22
  Speaker 7: I think that she's going to be incredibly entertaining. I
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: mean incredibly entertaining. I think she is dropped at gorgeous,
• 10:29
  Speaker 7: so just that I mean, just with that out there,
• 10:32
  Speaker 7: and she comes with this huge following that I think
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: we've talked about on almost famous is. You know, the
• 10:40
  Speaker 7: ratings have been lower these days, and I feel like
• 10:44
  Speaker 7: with her following, I have friends who are like, I
• 10:47
  Speaker 7: haven't watched it in years, but I am watching this
• 10:49
  Speaker 7: season because of who.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: Is the Bachelorette.
• 10:53
  Speaker 7: So I'm really excited for the franchise to kind of
• 10:56
  Speaker 7: see this.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: Yes, Like yeah, it's like.
• 11:02
  Speaker 7: A new spark that we can be excited about it
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: again for different reasons, you know, like back in my day,
• 11:07
  Speaker 7: it was all innocent. We had no idea what we
• 11:10
  Speaker 7: were doing and what people were going to get. Now
• 11:13
  Speaker 7: everyone just I think we're just desensitized to everything about
• 11:19
  Speaker 7: the show, Like we've seen it a million times, and
• 11:22
  Speaker 7: she is just she'll She's just going to throw everything
• 11:25
  Speaker 7: out the window and.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: Do it her way.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I don't think anybody has a doubt that
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: this will be a very successful season. The question that's
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: looming is where will the show go from here? Yeah,
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: and that's a big question because we all want this
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: franchise to continue. It's one that we were part of,
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: It's one that we found love through you and I.
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: I've failed enough in this franchise. I can give advice
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: for days.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: That's why.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: And you're great at it speaking of love though, Joan,
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: we are moving to you. I saw a post that
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Chock made this week sharing that you two are still together.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, okay, there was talk that you weren't.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: Now there was talk, Yeah, there was talk through the
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: internet that Joan and Chalk were no longer together.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: People were wondering and questioning.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: You know, usually I would actually say this in my
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: many years of being a part of the franchise, when
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: people start asking that question, most of the time points
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: to it being true. But Chock came out and said, no,
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: the floor is yours. Are the two of you together?
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: If so, why are people questioning it?
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: So we are absolutely together. I think they are question
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: it because I do a really so he's not like
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: a big social media person. So there's going to be
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: a social media moment of the two of us in it.
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: I have to like initiate it and like we're just
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: like a regular old couple now, Like I don't post
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: all the time. I don't feel like every time we
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: go out we should take a pic sure of us together.
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: I don't feel like we're just living We're just living
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: like a normal life as a normal couple, and we
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: are just not great about like posting, so it's like
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: kind of on me. I think it's my fault because
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: I'm the one that would have to do it, So.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: It's not and you don't know anything.
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: And they love to just come up with your broken
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: up because I'm just not good about social media.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, the two of you then are together, and
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: you're strongly together. Give us an update on your relationship, Like,
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: what have you learned about each other now? I mean,
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: it's been how how long since you been?
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: So it's been so we got engaged, it was a
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: year in August, and so you know, my finale wasn't
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: until November, so we were in public until November. So
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: it's been you know, it's been over a year, year
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: and a half of like eighteen months. We are we
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: are great. Like we actually spent a whole month together
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: in New York City at the month of December, and
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: so that was the first time we actually kind of
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: lived together. So we don't live together. He still lives
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: in Kansas. I still live in Maryland. But we see
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: each other all the time. In fact, I'm seeing a Monday,
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: we're going to put to Connor for a couple of days.
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: Then we're flying to La to do a thing that
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: we're doing there, so we'll be together for a week.
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: Then we had a week in December. Like we see
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: each other, We truly do. We just are not great
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: about Joan.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: You're to defend it. You guys are living the dream.
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: You're going on vacations, you're spending time in New York,
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: you're spending time with your own families.
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: And I just don't want you to feel like you
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: have to defend these do because if I don't, then
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: they say we're broken up. Or I meant one point
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: I died and one point he bought me two houses.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: And it's on Facebook.
• 14:31
  Speaker 7: Yeah, facebo, you hear that I have Alzheimer's my son
• 14:36
  Speaker 7: my son is actually pregnant. Yeah, and I'm pregnant and
• 14:40
  Speaker 7: we broke up and it's all on Facebook.
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: It is I tragically died in a car accident.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's it's brutal out there. We've talked to him.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: A long listener this podcast said, don't trust any of
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: that anymore. But I do think it's great. I mean,
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: moments like this remind the listeners and the fans of
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: the show that you two are happy. I always have
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: thought in my own life. I don't like social media.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: The less couples really share about each other, the stronger
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: I actually think they are.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: You're living it, you know.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: And if I was to show my life with my wife,
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: it's like a lot of walks with the dog.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Like, I don't know how cool that is. I don't
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: know what to do with that.
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I totally agree that's how our life is.
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: I mean we have great times like we like when
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: we were in New York, we did really fun stuff,
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: but mostly we walked to like a deli to get
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: a bagel. I mean, it's just not that it's yeah.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: You don't have to defend it. I'm with Rachel on this.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: I mean I think that world, you know, but it
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: is because we come from the world that we do.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: It is always good to get the update on how
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: things are progressing.
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: And I do feel like I owe it a little bit.
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: I mean, I'm very flattered that people care and that
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: they are invested in our relationship, just like they're rested
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: in yours and yours and yours. They you know, they
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: bought into the whole concept of we dated in public
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: and now we're a public I do owe them, like
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: every once in a while, a reassurance that we're still
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: together or that we're not.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Sure, that's a good point before we go back to
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: the game, because I know you all are kind of
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: on the edge of your seat, so ready to talk
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: about this game to that's happening Sunday. It's a big
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: game again. We're at Radio Row at the super Bowl.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: There's stars all around us. People I recognize people that
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: still are playing, people that have retired coaches. Trista, my
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: question for you is we just kind of got off
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: this Taylor Frankie Paul conversation and what you think shall
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: be as the Bachelorette and what this season will do.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: I also know that you do deeply care for the
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: people involved in the show, which makes me think you
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: also very much care about the show. Where do you
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: hope the show goes after the Taylor Frankie Paul, you know, season?
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: What do you hope changes or stays the same? What's
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: your hopes for this franchise?
• 16:50
  Speaker 7: I guess I just feel I wanted to renew people's
• 16:53
  Speaker 7: love of the show. You know, I love love and
• 16:55
  Speaker 7: that's why I I mean, obviously I have history with
• 16:59
  Speaker 7: the show, but I love love, and that's why I
• 17:02
  Speaker 7: signed up to do the show, you know, for something
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: fun and exciting that is an escape from normal life
• 17:09
  Speaker 7: that you can just tune, you know, put in your
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: living room and and see somebody else fall in love.
• 17:15
  Speaker 7: And I think at the core of it, that's what
• 17:18
  Speaker 7: I hope that people get back to. But I really
• 17:21
  Speaker 7: feel like she's gonna infuse you know, followers into Bachelor
• 17:26
  Speaker 7: Nation from her show. At least that's what I hope,
• 17:30
  Speaker 7: because it's been going for so long that I can't
• 17:35
  Speaker 7: see it ever ending. And and mind you, I think
• 17:38
  Speaker 7: my daughter kind of wants to be part of it
• 17:41
  Speaker 7: somehow someway.
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: I think.
• 17:47
  Speaker 7: She would be like I mean, truly, she would love
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: to be on the show.
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: I mean, and she's part of it so much like
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: she came on my season.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yeah, a little wish. That's a headline Blake's
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: leave from Bachelorette.
• 18:04
  Speaker 7: I think we should make it the second Bachelor baby
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: becomes the Bachelor, and then what if she had about
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: your baby, and.
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: Then I would be a Bachelor grandmother.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: No, I don't all right to close up here, team.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: I think the spread at least the last time I
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: checked was four and a half h for the.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: Game tomorrow night?
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: What's spread?
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: I think the over was. I got forty seven and
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: a half. Maybe maybe a little lower than that.
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: Let's just not a high scoring game.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Let's just check. No, I don't think they expected. Super
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: Bowls typically are not a high scoring uh. I want
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: to hear your picks.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: I want to see if you're taking the money line,
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: if you're taking the spread tomorrow night, and who you're
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: picking for the game.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: The only reason I'm picking.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: For five and a half is the is the over.
• 18:54
  Speaker 7: The only reason I'm picking who I'm picking is because
• 18:56
  Speaker 7: Ryan played for them for a split second, and also
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: because Molly Mesnik would kill me if I did so.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: Seattle Seahawks money line taking them the win?
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, taking them the win?
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: Wow?
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: Beat this bread? Huh Yeah, Okay, I'm just Seahawks. But
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: I don't think they're going to beat this bread.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: You don't.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: Well, no, there they would if they win plus four
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: and a half. So or no, the Seahawks are favored
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: by four and a half. Actually, yes, so you don't
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: think they'll cover the four and a half, but you do?
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: I will pick whichever team has the hottest players, and
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: I will go home tonight.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: No, I need you to do that here as we're
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: closing up here. Just go ahead and scroll through the
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: rosters and I need to get that by the You

• 19:50
  Speaker 3: hottest players and the Seahawks and Patriots are. What is
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: the strategy to find Rachel a husband tonight?
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: So we talked about her type. Yeah, I'm not positive
