• 0:08
  Speaker 3: We are here.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: The off season is ticking down closer and closer if
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: you haven't listened yet. We had an incredible episode with
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Jojo and Jordan that was shared last week. It was
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: the first time I'd spoken to Jojo in seven years.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: It was it was great. I felt like we touched
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: on everything that I would want to touch on, and
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: there were actually things actually that I wanted to talk
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: to her about and I and I'm glad we got
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: to do on the podcast.
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: I'm glad you did too. I've read some messages about
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: the podcast and one that came up a few times
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: was that you guys will seemingly forgot about the episode
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: of your show with Lauren was called Happily ever After
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: where you sat down for a meal with Jojo and Jordan.
• 0:54
  Speaker 5: Why did you both quote forget that? Well, I don't
• 0:57
  Speaker 5: think we forgot it. It's forgettable, meaning it never It
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: wasn't anything. It was so fresh after the show. We
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: didn't really talk about anything, and.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Cameras are all around us, so we never really got
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: to dive in like I felt like the podcast was
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: the first time we actually got to authentically dive into Hey,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: how did that make you feel?
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Were you? Were you angry with me? Was I angry
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: with you?
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Like?
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Those things didn't happen on the show because one it
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: was so fresh. Two it wasn't really why we were there.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: We were kind of there for this, like, hey, we're
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: all good, we're moving on, and it wasn't true.
• 1:34
  Speaker 6: You know, it wasn't real.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: It wasn't real.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: It was It was still very painful, especially for Lauren,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: and it was awkward for me. I don't know how
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Jordan and Jojo felt, but no, we didn't forget about it.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: It just this is the first real I guess maybe
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: the better way to say it was, this is the
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: first real conversation we have had since that sit down lunch.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: Did you guys talk at all off camera or was
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: it mostly all camera?
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: It was all camera. It was actually I'm telling you,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: it was one of those moments. I mean, this is
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: only a few months after her time on the Bachelorette.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: It was one of those moments where it's.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Like, I don't think this is healthy, this isn't true,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Like I'm glad that she's you know, like we're gonna
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: see her happy. I'm glad you see us happy. That's
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: all great, But there wasn't like a moment for healing
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: because it was still so real, it was still so fresh.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: We hadn't we hadn't moved on. None of us had
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: like fully to where we're like, okay, our lives are
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: now settled, let's get back together again to.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Talk about this. And there was no talking off camera.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: It was very awkward.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: I would say, like when the cameras were down, it
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: was very like, hey, I'll go do my thing.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: You go do your thing. We're not like chit chatting.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: Do you want to talk a little bit about how
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: Happily ever After? Was very self scripted and it made
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: you feel a bit uncomfortable filming.
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I can.
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: It was It was an interesting season in my life
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: where I wanted to get involved.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: And like public works of some kind.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: And the show came and said, hey, how about you
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: run for office? And I said that sounds great, and
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: we set it all up and we filmed for six
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: weeks and I campaigned and then you know, the Republican
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Party which I was running under had changed a lot.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: You know, if you remember twenty sixteen, it was a
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: it was a really transitional time for the party and
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: things became very hostile and I couldn't I didn't really mean.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: This is personal.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: I don't really have a try like a tribe when
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: it comes to politics that I fit in anymore because
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: and I felt that during that time, and so it
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: was agreed upon by everybody that I removed myself from
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: the race because I was no longer liking, you know,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: the path forward with what I was running for.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: And then this show said, well, we still have a show.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: What do you guys want to do?
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: And we said, well, I don't know, and they said,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: let's film your life, and so it was kind of
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: like everything.
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: So they film stuff and then they scrapped it.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah a lot, and then you know, happily
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: ever after question mark was.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: You know, originally the plan was a question mark.
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I guess the question mark is critical.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: It was critical, and it kind of they definitely made
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: sure to emphasize the question mark. And so they knew
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Lauren and I so well at the time that they
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: knew every issue we were having, and they were around us.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was a seven am start, seven pm
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: in and our you know, little house in Denver, and
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: they kind of would say every day like, hey, today,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: we're going to go look at new houses. And I
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: would say, I don't think that's smart. That's a conversation
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: we haven't yet had, and when we do have it,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: it doesn't feel like we are on the same page,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: and so it just doesn't feel good to put ourselves
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: back into a conversation that we're having. And they would
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: say perfect, and then they would do it, you know,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: and it over time. I mean, I'm very weird to
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: say now, I'm very thankful for that show because I
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: do think it highlighted for both of us what we
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: were really looking for and what we were really needing
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: in a partner. And I think that show showed us, hey,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: we're not compatible long term. And obviously it led me
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: to my wife and it led her to her husband,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: and I don't I mean, I think we would have
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: probably gotten there anyways, but I think the show expedited that.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: But it was, you know, very it was just, you know,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: it was like it was like taking things in our
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: life and exploding them. And sometimes it was harder to
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: handle than others, and sometimes it hurt worse than others sometimes,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: you know, the marriage conversation, right, I mean I remember
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: when that came up.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: You know, I got.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Blamed for having cold feet. Neither of us will wanted
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: to get married, like it was not we're not in
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: a healthy place, and so I was just taken kind
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: of disord for both of us to say, yeah, we're
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: not ready for this, and that was the conversation we
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: were having behind the scenes. I'm okay that, you know,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: people said, hey, he's not ready. I wasn't so true.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: I wasn't ready to marry her, and I never was,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: you know, once we started to know each other. So yeah,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Happily ever After was like soft scripted in the sense
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: that they kind of I mean, if you watched every episode,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: those were things going on in our life that they
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: then emphasized on the show and put us in a
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: position to either really have like hard you know, conversations
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: publicly with cameras around, or fake it. And after a while,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: you just can't fake it anymore.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: We're not actors and actresses.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: During the Jojo interview, you said that Jess was at work,
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: you know, she kind of knew that you were doing it,
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: you know today, but whatever.
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: You know, it was not a big deal.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: You never thought that like jess would care at all
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: that you were talking to Jojo, did you guys like
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: debrief on the interview later when she got home.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: A little bit.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: You know, she, like I said to during the interview,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: like she would or during our time together, like Jessica
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: wants whatever is best for me and my work and
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: all those things, as long as it's not detrimental to
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: our relationship, and that talking to JoJo's obviously not detrimental
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: to our relationship. We did get to talk about it
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: with her family because we spent the weekend and I'll
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: talk more about this in New Hampshire this weekend with
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: her family. It was awesome. My parents were out here
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: watching Whalen and Denver. We're at dinner and I just
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: brought up to her family. I was like, you know,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: because her mom listens, and very thankful for that because
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: she does.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: She's a good supporter.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: But I didn't want her, you know, her mom, because
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: her mom is still her mom and protective to be
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: like been interviewed Jojo, and the headlines and the you know,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: little promos.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: Seemed to make this very promise awkward and I.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: So I just said, hey, I got to interview Jojoe today,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: and I said, you want to know something wild that
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: I kind of in a sense forgotten, was that right
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: before I came to meet you guys for the first time,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: I saw Jojo and Jordan in the airport. How wild
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: is that? So we got to talk about that, which
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: was great because I think that's such a cool story
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: and I think JoJo's right where it was.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: I didn't.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: It wasn't something I needed, it wasn't something that I wanted,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: but it was a great reminder walking into that day
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: of gosh, like, life is moving on and I am
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: so happy about it, and I'm happy for her and
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: I'm happy for me and uh, and this is just
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: a wild way to start this new chapter in my
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: life that's obviously became a huge chapter. And so we
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: got to talk about that. Jessica hasn't been very inquisitive
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: when it comes to an interview, just because you know,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: I think she gets it. You know, she gets that
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: this is part of my work, and she gets that.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: You know, I think her confidence in my relationship with
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Jessica and how I view her and how I see
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: her now I want to spend my life for there
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: is very strong and so she's just like, yeah, that's
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: great that you got to do that.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: And I mean it when I say that. Jessica and
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: I had conversations, and this is for anybody I have
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: personally seen in my life that you know, I've had
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: some amazing people that I've dated, some incredible humans, and
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: it's weird when those relationships end because you know they've
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: had such a big part of your life. I'm not
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: saying you need to be best friends. I'm not saying
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: you need to keep in contact, but what I am
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: saying is there seems to be something really healthy that
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: happens when you can move on knowing that each of
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: you have mutual support, respect, care for the other person,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: and that you want to see them thrive and survive.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: You know, those are those and so that kind of
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: was that the interview was for me. It was just
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: another moment to tell Jojo, I think you're great. I'm
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: so happy for you. You were such a great person
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: to have on the show, you know, during that season,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: and this is so fun to be able to now
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: like know that you and I both care. And I
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: got text Jordan afterwards too, after that, you guys, get
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: a golf We're going to go. I meant it when
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: I said we're going to golf, We're gonna hang out.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: I think he's awesome and I would love to do that.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: It just as you know. Friends.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: So really glad that interview happened, Really happy about it,
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: and I think only good can come from it, including
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: all of you listening.
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: Don't get annoyed at me.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: I'm a stickler when it comes to facts and a
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: story being straight. I was thinking, I remember the first
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: time that you ever met Jess in person was when
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: you flew her at the Denver She got out of
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: the car and then you were like, what do I do?
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: Do I kiss her? And then you kissed her on
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: your first in person hello. But then you said that
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: in Nashville it was the first time that you met
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: her and you passed by them, the family. Okay, okay,
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: so we're gonna clear. Okay, that was the first time
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: you met her family. That was the first time you
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: went to Nashville to visit her.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is the first time I arrived in Nashville
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: to visit her. It was gosh, it had to be
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: so she came out. It was probably a week or
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: two after here, but yeah, it was the first time
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: I met her family. Okay, actually, before we move on
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: the headlines today, I did get to spend the weekend
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: in New Hampshire. I just got back and then I
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: went to d C for a Project Hope board meeting
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: for about eight hours. So I flew from Manchester, New
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Hampshire to Washington, d C. Flew back late last night.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: We got to go to New Hampshire to celebrate my
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: father in the law sixtieth birthday.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: The whole family.
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: Happy birthday.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just want to say happy birthday. It was
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: an incredible weekend. As I said, we had Jessica and
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: I are feeling full of love because my parents were
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: out here in Denver for about ten days. They watched
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Whalen when we left, but then they got to hang
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: out with us for a bit when we were here
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: for about a week, and then we went on to
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: see her family in New Hampshire. We had a really
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: good time. If you're in New Hampshire and you get
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: a chance, stop by Fishercat Stadium to watch Philip Clark,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: my brother in law play, Oh cool because he's playing
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: for the fisher Cats.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: This year, and so we got to do that.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: So happy sixtieth birthday, Jay Clark, love him a ton,
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: the best falling all in the world.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: And we had a really really good time.
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: That's so nice.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: Before we move on to headlines, I just want to
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: bring up something funny that just happened. He just got
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: a quick interruption by Waylan. You know Ben's dog, and
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: apparently he was chewing on his slipper. But Ben talks
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: to his dog in the most respectful way. He goes, Waylan,
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: could you please not chew my slipper. That's my good slipper.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: I don't think that's fair to me, because that's just
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: not right. So there's two funny things here. One you
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: talk to him so you know, maturely. And secondly, you
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: have good slippers versus bad slippers. And our producer Easton
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: was thinking, like he's imagining you in You're in a
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: robe with your good slippers on, smoking a pipe.
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: Now that's not too far off from reality.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: That's not too far off. I mean these are my
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: good ug slippers, you know the ones. Oh yeah, those.
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: Are actually good ones.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: Jared had a pair two when Tom Brady was of
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: course advertising for him about a decade ago.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: There's there.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And then I have outdoor slippers. He's not allowed
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: to have those either, But the ugs are very sacred
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: to me, and he was chewing on it and he's
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: never done that before ever, and so I'm confused. And
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: that's why I wanted to talk to him and just
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: you make him know that this is not common, This
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: is not.
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: Normal behavior for you, not fair to me.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he was trying to get my attention.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: I have a theory that if I talk to my
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: dog with respect and I don't yell, then he will
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: match my maturity.
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: I love that.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: I don't know if it's true yet, but we're working
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: on it as improven.
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: All right, let's get to headlines.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: Here we go.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: First headline is this, did Bachelor in Paradise's Brandon Jones
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: cheat on ex Serene Russell before breakup? This according to
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Yahoo goodness gracious, Um, I hope not.
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: Okay, So we all know that Brandon and Serene broke
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: up a couple of weeks ago, or the announcer split
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: a few weeks ago. Well, there was a video that
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: started circulating in May that showed him at a club
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: in San Diego with a other girl, So obviously people
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: are wondering if he and this other girl are the
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: reasoning behind the split. Now, it was three days before
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: it was apparently the videos was taking three days before
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: they confirmed their split. I also oddly received an email
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: that was from a random person with like no details,
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: just titled like Brandon, and there was a photo, and
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: I think that they wanted me to bring it up
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: on the podcast. But then of course reality Steve actually
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: reports it, and I think there's just like speculation now,
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: and the question is were they broken up and they
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: just didn't announce the split, or was he actually cheating
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: on her? I don't think I personally don't think Brandon's
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: dumb enough to go out in public with another woman
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: when he's publicly supposedly in a relationship with one of
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: Bachelor Nation's favorites.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Well, I would say I would believe that same thing.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: But we've been shocked before the behavior of people that
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: think they can get away with stuff.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: I hope not.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: This is a This was a weird one to have
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: split because I know you and I we've said it before.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: We really thought this couple was in for the long Haultogether,
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: they made a lot of sense It's still weird to
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: see their names in a split kind of coming after that.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: But you know, we don't want to start a rumor here.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: We don't want to make assumptions here. All we know
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: is that that rumor is out there and actually did
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: receive a picture. Really, Steve has reported on it, and
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Yahoo was covering an article about it.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: I can also just say that, like, I have seed
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: sources that have basically told me that there was trouble
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: there for a long time before the split was announced,
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: So I wouldn't have been surprised if they were actually
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: split up. I'm not trying to defend Brendan and him
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: obviously moving on quickly or possibly cheating, but I just like.
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: I know that it was coming.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, the next headline is this. People have been
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: emailing and asking about the updates and who we're here
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: to give it to you. The Bachelor star Deanna Pappis
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: settles custody battle. This according to Yaho as well.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: All right, well, we wouldn't talk about these dirty beats
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: if they weren't totally out there for the world to see.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: So their custody agreement says that the parent having the
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: children like during the custody period, has to be abstaining
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: from narcotics dangerous drugs within twelve hours of their custody periods,
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: and also says that neither party parents shall drink and
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: excess of the legal limit during their custody periods or
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: have a child or children in their custody when being intoxicated.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Now, is this not just to be clear, I wonder
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: if this is just a typical language fortunite.
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: Yah, I don't know.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I would assume that this is an agreement.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: That is, it's pretty typical, typical when it comes to
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: like custody battles like that. You just kind of agree
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: to sign this and say, yeah, no, that makes sense.
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: Goes on to say that neither party shall operate or
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: attempt to operate a motor vehicle with the children in
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: the car if they've consumed alcohol and excess of the
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: label element.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: Doesn't that make sense? I mean, yes, this is all sense.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: This is not like, yeah, shocking, and there's not like
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know enough about that.
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: You got guys, let us know about custody battles, and
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: this is typical.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: But I would imagine this is in every agreement that happens.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: This is also interesting, and I don't know that this
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: is typical, says there was also an agreement made not
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: to trash one another in front of the kids.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: I don't know if that's typically either.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: It's kind of interesting to hear what you know two
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: parties do agree upon and what's important through the process.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: So that's interesting. But yeah, I don't think this is
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: like shocking for anybody it's gone through this before. I'm
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: assuming these are very normal conversations and very normal agreements.
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: I'm assuming.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: I mean, also, this is like some of the times
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: how many times we're going to say assume, But if
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: I was in a divorce situation with kids, you'd think that,
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: like if you don't oh bye by this, like say
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: you do get in trouble for those things, then you
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: would fight first. It would be easier for you to
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: get soul custody after those incidents, and that's why they're
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: in there.
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: Sure anyway, moving on.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: That's the agreement.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: So do we have any clarity actually on the timing,
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: like who is Okay?
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: There's no clarity on who.
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: No. I was thinking, I was thinking that's what the
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: article was going to be about like, oh wow, shocking
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: one of them has full custody or something like that.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, next headline is this Wills Adams shares hilarious update
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: from day two of filming Bachelor in Paradise. So, filming
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: is happening, Wells is down there and he's been great
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: on a social media about keeping us at least uh
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: seeing Paradise, seeing the beach, and it feels like so
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: far the energy is really good.
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: It's actually quite hilarious.
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: So he says that there are just a bunch of
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: gen zers on the beach and he has no idea
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: what they're talking about. This is his rundown from day two.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: He so, there's a lot of talk about vibes, good vibes,
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: bad vibes.
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: The vibes are off, I don't know what.
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: There are also a lot of keys being thrown around
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: a bunch. There are high keys, low keys, a low key.
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: I don't know what the f you're talking about. And
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: then he says, oh yeah, and flags. Flags are a
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: big thing. I'm talking red flags, green flags, and beige flags.
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: Beige flags which.
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: I also just learned about what a beige flag is
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: last week. Is it's not really a problem, he says,
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: and he really defines it well here. He says, it's
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: more like an idiosyncrasy of your character. I heard someone
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: say yesterday that I'm confusion.
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: He goes, those are the exact words.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: It wasn't like I'm confused, it is I'm confusion. He's like, wait, what, Ben,
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: do you what do you think a beige flag of
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: yours is? Because when we were talking about this on
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: my other podcast, we're talking about how like Jared's beige
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: flag would probably be that he's like so obsessed with
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: Tom Brady that it like could be mildly concerning to.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: Some Mine is jessic Can.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: I just did the a brain scan with a company
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: called brain Code out of Denver, and they told me
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: I need to get some therapy before I become a
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: dad because I play in my head every scenario. My
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: beige flag would be like I I worry about everything,
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: but I also play the good scenarios in my head
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: the bad scenarios, and then that's how my brain works.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: And so before I become a father, I need to
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: get some work done because I just worry about everything.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: So my beige flag would just be hey, he's he
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: is in his own head often.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: Okay, does that make sense?
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: Is that a beige flag or is that like a
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: red flag?
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: Well, that's definitely not a red flag. I think that's
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: being human. I think that's the hard thing about beige flags,
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: well gen ziers and they're beige flags, you know, is
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: that you just like, don't really they're just not that concerning.
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: So why are we calling it a flag in any
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: in any way? Why don't we just call it like, Oh,
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: that's quirky. Oh that's a nice quirk of you. Oh,
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: it's an interesting element of your personality.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: I'm getting cool, getting old.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Hey, uh, next update is this Bachelor in Paradise is
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Raven Gates and Adam had You know, Raven is pregnant
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: and they soaked up the Italian sun on baby moon.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Baby moons are becoming more and more popular. I never
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: knew about him until, you know, people started doing them
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: and I started seeing social media.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: But they said they had a great trip. They ten
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: out of ten would recommend I.
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: Would like to do a baby moon before getting pregnant,
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: because one, you're pregnant, I just yeah, now not feeling
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: my most beautiful and vacationing. But these two look just
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: like they're just the freaking cutest. They went to Rome
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: and Florence and then they went to Like Como and
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: Adam said some interesting things about this trip. One he
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: said that they'd like to do one big trip just
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: the two of them each year to connect as a couple,
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: which I think is great advice. Then he also said
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: that they had a travel agent do this plan it
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: for them. He said, They've done this many times more
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: than you have. He also suggested getting good mileage credit
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: a good mileage credit card to rack up the miles,
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: of course, to help with travel deals and other things
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: that they did. They they chartered a boat for the day.
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: They had the best pizza. They said that Like Como
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: was pretty much like the most low key relaxing of
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: the places that they went.
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: They also went to the coll.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: Sum That sounds awesome. I'm going to Italy in September.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Super Pump Okay next headline Bachelor star Matt James Mom
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: is in talks to appear on spinoff for seniors, The
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Golden Bachelor. Ashley never really thought about this, should be
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: incredible on it. I also have a follow up question
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: for you. Do we know if Matt James and Rachel
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: are still together.
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: Okay, so according to my my deductions, my stocking abilities,
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: it seems like they are still together because they seemed
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: to have actually been in the same place this week
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: together at like a party, because there was another influencer
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: that documented the two of them there currently on that day,
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: so it wasn't like they were posting old footage, you
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: know what I mean. Yep, Okay, So I'm like really
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: relieved by that. I don't know why. I mean, like,
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: I just really want them to be together. It makes sense,
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: but they definitely had some time physically a part over
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: the past month or so that happened.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, and then yeah, it makes sense that Matt
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: James's mom would be on the show.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: She's beautiful.
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: But does it because because Matt doesn't like love his
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: time from the show, even though he met Rachel through it,
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: you know, like, I don't think he like thinks highly
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: or whatever suggests or wouldever be part of it again himself.
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: So it's interesting that he would be down for his
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: mom to do it.
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: I don't know, don't you now.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: I think he probably likes the show more than what
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: we know. I mean, nobody think about what it's done
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: for his life. He met his at least what we
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: assumes his partner. He started a whole new career from it.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: He's getting to do all these marathons and these food tours.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: Like I mean, I know there was some like difficulty
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: through it, but I bet now if he looks back,
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: he's like he's happy with where it spit him out.
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: I really want them to come on the podcast.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: Let's bring them on, Let's spring them on. That's how
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: we really one.
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: They're like the next one that I feel like it's
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: difficult to get but really really important.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it'd be great. Okay.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Congratulations to Emily Ferguson and her husband William Carlson. Obviously
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: we did announce on the podcast that they did have
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: their son, Beckham, and also her husband just won the
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: Stanley Cup. There's a beautiful picture where she puts Beckham
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: in the Stanley Cup. What a picture to have framed
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: on you in your office one day, your son in
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: the Stanley Cup. What an incredible celebration.
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: Blow it up and put it above the fire place.
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: I know, how cool is that? So the baby is.
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: One month old, little Beckham, and he is he's in
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: the Stanley Cup. Two cool, I have a question for
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: you about sports. The Stanley Cup. Is it passed around
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: each year or is it just created new each year?
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: I mean there's always replicas, but it's it's passed around
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: because it is. Yeah, i mean people drink out of it.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: It's been dented before, it needs to be fixed. There
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: is definitely like one Stanley Cup.
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: Okay, so it's not like the Super Bowl trophies where
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: like they are in the display case at the facility.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't think those are the real I mean
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: those aren't the real ones. Obviously, they're replicas. And I
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: think once the team passed to pass it on, then
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: they'll get like a replica that'll they'll be able to
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: show off.
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: Okay, interesting.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to know where the Stanley Cup lives
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: or any of the Yeah, I mean, I'm sure there's
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: a place that everybody knows that loves hockey. But it's interesting.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: Incredulations to Las Vegas on the win. It was a
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: great series, a great playoffs for them. They really dominated
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: and I'm very exciting. I'm sure all of them are
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: celebrating in big ways. Actually, I don't think we've talked
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: about this, but this is a headline that I have
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: some secret info.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: I think I've shared this.
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: I love secret info from Ben Well.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Dean Ungler has been out in Denver quite a bit
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: and he's living out his truck as he does, like
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: not a van, his truck.
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah, when will does the crossover happen?
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: Well, there's a reason that he's living at his truck
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: because he is hiking all the fourteen ers and you know,
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: as I've seen you mentioned and uh, he's just kind
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: of cruising around because a lot of these have hard
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: trails in the van want to be able to get
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: up there, so he had to do it out of
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: his truck. He's gonna be living out his truck till
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: they get married. They're in Bali right now, so he's
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: going back and forth. But if you're out there just
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: sending a message and say best of luck, follow that journey.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be wild. I cannot tell you how impressive
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: it is. If he gets even half of them done
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: in one summer, it's.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: Gonna be cool. Ashley.
• 28:00
