Help We Suck At Being Newlywed?

Speaker 2 (00:02):
With Dean Aungler, Haylen lurkey Man, Jared haven An iHeartRadio podcast.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
What is going on? Everybody? Welcome to an all new
episode of Help We Suck At Being Newlyweds? Kaylen and
I listened to our last episode and she always made
fun of me for trailing off at the end of
every sentence. And so this week on Help We Suck
At Being Newlyweds? I am going to fix that problem.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
Can't wait to see We're here.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Yeah, we're gonna see, We're gonna hear. I want to
just take a quick second and appreciate the way that
Jared looks right now. Jared, I've known for I want
to say, six or seven years. I don't I legitimately
think that looking at you right now, this might be

(00:51):
your best look.

Speaker 4 (00:52):
My best look. It's really the black T shirt. I
appreciate that, buddy. I got a haircut. You know what,
I got botox, I.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Got a spray tan.

Speaker 4 (01:01):
Oh oh, okay, I got a spray tan. So I'm
in Dallas right now. That's why my schedule has been
a little chaotic. So I got this opportunity to host
a show called First Look, which airs on NBC. It's
like late night after SNL. But it's a travel show
and it's really cool. We've done a couple of things

(01:21):
with them, and so we're showcasing the city of Dallas
and it's a really cool opportunity for me. And I
wanted to make sure that I wasn't looking like a
Cullen on camera. Yeah, dude, I get pale, as you
guys have probably noticed. I get so pale it sucks.

(01:41):
So of course I couldn't go on camera like that.
So I was like, all right, I'm gonna get a
spray tan. And then you know what's even funnier is
that I didn't even get a professional spray tan. Ashley
has this stuff. She's like, trust me, I can give
you a spray tan. I'm very confident in this. I said,
all right. So the night before I left, or two
nights before I left, I was standing in the living

(02:03):
room at eleven o'clock at night and then just I
wasn't naked. I had boxers on, but like the boxes
rolled up and just standing there and Ashley's spraying me
and rubbing me down. I was like, if anybody could
see us right now, and how pathetic I must look.
It's a very vulnerable spot to be in. Dean, You've
been naked on the podcast. But man, just like having

(02:23):
my wife just really get in, like for the first time,
like looking so close, like rubbing my feet to for
the Spraytan.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
Well, I've been here. So is Ashley with you in Dallas?

Speaker 4 (02:37):
No, she's home. She's home with Dawson. We're going to
think about bringing Dawson in Ashley. But I've been filming.
It's like ten hour days, and so it had been pointless.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
So you're hosting this show by yourself. Yeah, okay, interesting,
that's I know. That's so cool, very very cool. That's
very cool. I feel like typically what people like to
do for people like us shared that you know, our
thirty percent of a hole, and once our wives join us,
then we become the other full hole. I think we're

(03:07):
Batman exactly.

Speaker 4 (03:08):
We're fully under understanding of our status exactly exactly.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
So it's nice to, you know, break out on your
own and do this on your own. That's pretty awesome.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
It was shocking when they asked. I was like, are
you sure you're this is Jared not Ashley. I didn't
know if you're inquiring about the right person. Okay, second
question was you look great?

Speaker 1 (03:25):
As I mentioned earlier, it is the tan that I
think is what makes you stand out to how you
normally look. You always look good, but it is nice.
It is a good glowing tan. And the amount of
the amount of faith that you had in Ashley to
rub something on.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
Your body, you don't have that faith in me.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
It's not that I wouldn't, it's just I totally would
because I don't care. But like, I'm not going and
hosting a show you know that everyone's going to see
and like we U should just you just still did
chose not to hire a professional spray tanner. That's just impressive.
Good for you. Yeah, I was nervous.

Speaker 4 (04:00):
I asked her a couple times because I was like, oh,
I got a schedule spray tand because obviously I procrastinated,
and then she was like, I'll just do it, and.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
I was like, are you sure.

Speaker 4 (04:13):
It's just like trust me, I can do it, And
I said, all right, I just want to I want
to clarify something so I get this out there.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
In the world.

Speaker 4 (04:20):
You feel confident, very confident that you'd be able to
give me a spray tan and I will not look
abnormal on camera, and she said, yes, I feel very
confident in this.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
I said, all right, let's do it. It looks like you
we did hit something that. What's that little dent up there? Dude?

Speaker 4 (04:35):
I was just thinking that, you know what it it's
so weird. I feel like sometimes this is more prominent
than it's not. So I've this is a scar from
when I was about a year and a half two
years old, I ran into the corner of a table
running after a ball, shocking and cracked my head opening
and it's been scar ever since. And I feel like

(04:56):
sometimes it's more prominent.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
It's probably when you get the fresh botox, and actions
is when it shows up a little bit.

Speaker 4 (05:01):
More obviously, get the eyebrows really high up. I have
yet to get botox. Oh, I don't know if I
ever will.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
I don't know. Yeah, I mean between cal and to it. Kaylen,
you're open about your botoxic yet, right, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
I just got Daxify. I'm off the botox training onto
the daf Taxify train.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
And I think that if you look at the two
of us from when we first met till now, it's
it almost might be the best selling like case study
for botox or taxapoint, because you look just as good,
if not better, than the day that we met. And
I look like I've aged twenty years and five years.
So if that's not a good case study for botox,

(05:40):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Know what botox. All it does is freeze your forehead
just a little bit.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yeah, but you do it to mean youthful.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
Looking, right, Well, I do it because I have this
one line right here in my elevens that I don't
want to set into a permanent.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Gotcha, And how do you get that? Do you just
get that rink naturally? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (06:01):
Because I scowl a lot.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
Yeah, Yeah, I was gonna say, how do you think
you get it? A lot of scowling? Yeah, And I
like the botox because now you can scowl at me
and I don't even know you're scowling at it.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
It's pretty frustonrating.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
Because there's no movement up there. Yeah, that's good stuff.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
I think I think give it ten years. You guys
both have it done.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
I mean, look, I'll do it. I would do it
just for fun. I would do anything once, and that
includes botox. I know, guys, I've gotten botox. The problem
is I get self conscious because I see some of
the guys that get botox, and including like listen, I
got no I. Tom Brady definitely gets botox.

Speaker 4 (06:38):
But I've seen interviews with Brady where it's very clear
that he'd like just got it because his eye, you know,
And this happens to a lot of guys where like,
you know, the eyelids are like the eyebrows are really up,
you know, and it's like they're talking like this, they
always look they always look surprised.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
I was like, oh, I can't you know, it.

Speaker 4 (06:54):
Looks good afterwards, but man, that first couple of days,
you're like, just stay in the house, Just stay in
the house. But also it doesn't affect this right the
lines near the eyes.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
What does that do that?

Speaker 2 (07:05):
But that freaks me out because I don't know. I've
just heard so many things. You can do, the bags,
you can do, the crow's feet, My bag just a
little scary.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
I would love to get my bags taken care of.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
And it's like a long needle.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
I hurt, and then if they hit the wrong thing,
then your eye closing.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
Oh that sounds miserable.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
And maybe that's a story that's not true.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
But my whole life, going back to middle school and
high school, my biggest insecurity, one of I had a lot.
One of my biggest insecurities was my bags because I'm
not a morning person, as.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
You know, and every day we got to talk about it.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
We have to talk about that, obviously, And every day
I'd walk into school and I'd be like, dude, you
it looks like you have four eyes because my bags
were there, like I was talking about myself. Said no, no, no,
I just think about it like my eye and my
bag of my eye were two eyes, and so I
would have two eyes on each side. It was my
biggest insecurity. And now it's better. Like you know, I
woke up at seven name today and I don't know great.

(08:02):
I don't look great, but I don't have the bags
aren't as big.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
As they used to be, so I've never really noticed
your bad.

Speaker 4 (08:07):
Can you do things like that, Caitlyn, aren't there like
little things?

Speaker 1 (08:11):
I don't know. Ashley does these where it's like a
little sticky things. The eyes, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Brett was wearing at the wedding. Brett really cares about skincare. Yes,
he does, just embrace it and the eye roller, the
ice roller.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
Bread is a better man than I could ever hope
to be. Bread is just awesome. I love Brett so much.
Should we talk about the wedding or should we talk
about our brain scans?

Speaker 2 (08:41):
We should talk about the brain scans real quick. So
Dean and I did narrow feedback and got these brain scans.
They did like fifteen minutes with your eyes closed, fifteen
minutes with your eyes open, and then they came back
with our results. It's like alpha, beta, beta, all these
different waves, and Dean, I don't know know where to.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
Begin, so so just just to help disc paint the
picture a little bit better too. What it does is
you wear this little cap with a bunch of nodes
on it, like I want to say, twenty five nodes,
And what it does is measures your brain's activity in
those certain spots of your brain. And so you get
like your prefrontal cortex, you're that's actually the only part
of the brain that I know, and you get like

(09:20):
all these other little sections of your brain that are
firing during certain things with your eyes open and your
eyes closed. And then you wait a week and they
process all the information and they come back and they
gave us like an hour and a half long explanation
of what of our things mean.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
It was so interesting.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
It's very interesting. Brain Code Center in Denver. I'm sure
there's other and I left it to go first, very bravely,
thank you. And she was like, okay, so before we
get into this, you know, if you have any gray
or blue, it's not good. And then she scrolls down
to these diagrams of my brain. It's like five pictures

(09:58):
on the top and then five pictures on the bottom,
all of different phases of your brain, and nine out
of ten of them were all gray and blue. And
I was like, that's not good. And there's there was
one of a lot of red on it, and I
was like, what's this one. That's got to be good.
I got a lot of red and a lot of
activity on that part of my brain. And she goes, oh, yeah,
that's your trauma center. Did you have any trauma as
a kid? And I was like, yeah, a lot. And

(10:19):
she was like are you impulsive? And I was like,
oh my god, so impulsive. She goes, do you have
do you get afraid?

Speaker 5 (10:25):
Very easily?

Speaker 1 (10:25):
I was like nope, never, I'm just chill all the time,
and she's like, yeah, that's those are those are things
that like it's fine but not good. Yeah, And there
weren't really have any positives with my brain.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
Oh there were, there were, because you're fearless. But Dina
set in his theta waves. So Deane is always sleepy.
He has trouble motivating, trouble motivating, trouble finishing projects ADHD.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
She said, I have ADHD.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
No, she didn't diagnose you.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
She said, there's signs that's right in your brain, and
then she scrolled down to the speed and his speed.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
Well, before we get to the speed, there's this other
section where it's like which parts of your brain communicate
with the other parts, and it's so Mine was so chaotic.
It was like one red line for one part of
your brain communicator with another, and it's basically the whole
brain map was covered in red lines. And I was like, oh,
that's got to be normal. And then we can go
and see Kaylen's and that part specifically was completely.

Speaker 3 (11:16):
Blank and a single red line.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
I was like, why do I have all these chaotic
red lines? And she's like, did you have any had
trauma when you were a kid? I was like, yeah,
I had probably a handful of concussions, and she was like,
that's why. I was like, I haven't had a concussion
in seventeen years. You're telling me I'm still seeing a
side effects from that. She's like yeah, She's like that'll
last for the rest of your life unless you like
train your brain's plasticity like this. And then yet to

(11:37):
kate what Kaylen is saying. Then we scrolled down to
the processing power of our brain and I'm like, oh,
here we go. This is the good stuff. And she
reads my number. It's like eight point five hurts and
she like audibly goes oh. And I was like, what, Like,
it's good, right, that's really impressive, and she goes, no,
that's that's one of the lower ones. I've seen. Your
brain processes information very slowly. And I was like, I

(12:00):
wasn't expecting to be so embarrassed by my brain results.
And then they go to Klin and her everything was
great for the most part of mine. It's like she
has a lot more stress and anxiety than I do.
I think was the main thing, but all the other
positive things were way better. And then they go to
her processing power and it's like eleven point five hurts
and we're both like no, like, no, way, that's awesome.
Your brain is so productive and processes information is so fast.

(12:22):
And then she also is like, oh, that's way too high.
So appairly there's like a sweet spot, but it's so interesting.
Sorry I'm rambling here.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
No, it's a thing.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
And so the goal we have to wear these little
headbands that we start training tomorrow, and the goal is
for neuroplasticity, so to be able to go between alpha, beta, beta,
all of these. So I'm stuck in beta, I'm stuck
stressing and have anxiety, and I have a hard time sleeping,
and Dean stuck in the sleepiness wave.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
I'm drowsy, chill, and nothing phazes me. And it's so
funny too as a couple to know these things, and
like if we have a reaction to anything that the
other person does, or like let's say I forget at
something or I'm sleepy or Kaylen is stressed, then we
can both just be like, look, that's just how my
brain is wired. And it's honestly helped us a lot,
I think, just communicating. It's only been a week and

(13:10):
we haven't like trained the brains yet, but it is
super enlightening and insightful for us as a couple.

Speaker 4 (13:16):
I think, Yeah, so anytime, Kaylen says, Dean, take out
the trash, and then three hours goes by and the
trash is not taken out, and she says, Dean, I
told you to take out the trash. You could say, babe,
it's my brain. I process things very slow.

Speaker 3 (13:31):
It's already begun. I have a slow brain.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
I have a slow brain. It's so funny too, because
I've seen some of my friends and I've told them
about my results, and it almost like is a crutch
that I'm leaning on now, where like if I just
feel like being stupid for a little bit, I'll just
be like, sorry, guys, I got a slow brain. I'm
just going to phase out for a lot.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
And let me just tell you his processing power. She
wants it at a nine. He's at an eight point five.
But she also mentioned that he has trouble connecting, yeah,
like with me, friends, all the stuff. Like everything she
said was so spot on and me too. And basically
all she said was I just stressed about everything and
have a hard time relaxing, and then I have this
little e or cloud in the back of my brain that, like,

(14:14):
She's like, basically, you wake up and it's sunny, but
you're like, why is it cloudy? So you have a
hard time kind of like being positive, which I do
have a.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
Little bit of that.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
We're so opposites and basically every single way, Yeah, and
I have a trouble. I have a trouble what being
connecting with people and being empathetic was the big one too.
And I'm socially awkward, which I was like, yeah, I
get I never said that. She did say that. She's like,
do you struggle with social cues?

Speaker 3 (14:38):
And I was like yeah, all the time, I'd never
heard her say that.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
I'm pretty sure she said that. I don't know. I
have a slow brain, so maybe she didn't say that. Anyways,
it's very interesting and we're excited. I think what we're
gonna do is we're gonna they gave us like these
little head bands to train her brains. So if you
guys see us improving, I understand that it's because of
brain contcenter.

Speaker 3 (14:54):
No, I'm so exciting.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
And Ben Higgins and Jess were the ones that got
us turned on to this, So shout out to them,
and I'm sure they would do the same thing for
you and Ashley. If you guys wanted to do that,
I'm definitely down to do this.

Speaker 4 (15:04):
Kaylin, I can't imagine you seem like a pretty positive person. No, Dean,
what do you think it's Calen positive?

Speaker 5 (15:10):
She is?

Speaker 1 (15:12):
She?

Speaker 4 (15:12):
She?

Speaker 1 (15:13):
I think she at her core, she's a positive person.
But she lets the intrusive thoughts win sometimes and she
lets this is This is my biggest gripe with Kaylen's
brain is she'll allow future events that haven't even happened
yet to stress.

Speaker 3 (15:29):
My brain so fast. I'm thinking of every possibility to.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
Stress her out. And so she'll get mad about things
that haven't even happened yet. And I'm like, Kaylen, you
can't get mad about that. It hasn't even happened yet
and so far outside of your own control. And it's
just so it's just interesting.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
Yeah, my brain just like thinks of everything, and I yeah,
can get caught.

Speaker 3 (15:47):
Up in things.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
But so that's their brains.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
It's just a small you or cloud. It's not it's
not anything too scary.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
Yeah, But Jared, I want to talk to you about
her wedding. Yeah, the wedding. Tell us about how it
was the best wedding you've ever been a guest at.

Speaker 4 (16:03):
Obviously it was great. I know that I've been. I
feel like I wonder what that brain scan would say
to me, because I feel like I'm in a constant
cloud the past couple of years.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
I got to be honest because I've wanted to reach out.
It is one of those things too where I feel
like if I did it when I was twenty five,
it would have been way better because I feel like
my cloud is growing as well. But we were talking
the whole time about it, like I wish all of
our friends could get this done because it'd be so
interesting to compare things and like, like, like we were
saying earlier, all that helps you do is better understand people,

(16:36):
and so if all of our friends did it, and
like it's a fun competition thing, you know, like I
would love to see where you do better than me at,
but I would really love to see where I do
better than you at Like those types of things. Yeah,
I'm curious.

Speaker 4 (16:46):
I definitely relate hard to Kalin's the little cloud thing.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
Dude.

Speaker 4 (16:51):
If I am dreading something and like I know it's
coming a good four days before it's there, I'm just
like I I just like get that like down because
I'm like it's coming, like it's four days away, and
like we have to do it.

Speaker 3 (17:07):
That you can get rid of that cloud. Essentially interesting.

Speaker 4 (17:11):
But the reason I say the fog is because I've
been meeting to reach out to you guys, because I
just wanted to tell you how amazing your wedding was,
because it's cool. What I love about weddings is it
makes you mushy, and like, I feel like I was
just so much mushier at the wedding and immediately following

(17:32):
in the wedding than I am right now, which makes
me sad, which is why I wanted to reach out
and just like expose all my feelings about you guys
and tell you what I thought about the wedding. And
now I feel so much more practical, and I hate
being practical and talking about these things. Yeah, yeah, because
it's like you're in the moment. But yeah, when we

(17:53):
first got there and drove up, first of all, you
guys put us in a room with Wi Fi, which
was the best thing ever. I was could not when
we found out we were in the main lodge right upstairs.

Speaker 1 (18:06):
Ashley and I just were like.

Speaker 4 (18:10):
Woo. It was awesome, and so we got to stay
in the main lodge. The grounds is beautiful there. It's
so much more because when we were going there, we
were nervous about how reclusive this resort was gonna be,

(18:31):
but it really was very modern. Ben was scaring the
shit out of us. He was saying there was no
insulated heat. He was saying that there's gonna be no
service and the WiFi is gonna be extremely spotty, and
it's just you know, we're gonna be kind of on
our own. I was like, there's no insulated heat. He's like, yeah,
everything's heated by fire and the installation the insulation on

(18:53):
the cabins is not very good. So like it's gonna
be really cold tonight. I'm like, well, Jesus all right.
And it was not like that at all. It was
very comfortable and warm inside the cabin.

Speaker 1 (19:05):
So we got there on Friday, we had the games.

Speaker 4 (19:08):
It was really great meeting your brother's dean because I've
heard so much about them and I cannot believe Brett
was the one who spoke, right, Brad, Brad, Brad's the
one who spoke, dude. I can't believe you weren't gonna
let Brad talk. His speech was so good.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
He did give him a great speech. It's not that
I wouldn't let him talk. I just I guess we
did talk about that. I just didn't want to have to.
I didn't want to ask anyone to talk because I
didn't want to give that pressure to anyone. But he
volunteered himself. He's like, he texted Kaitlin behind my back,
and I was like, I want to talk, and you're right.
I did think I had a little trepidation about it,
but I'm glad he spoke because he's good at speaking.

Speaker 4 (19:50):
And your two girlfriends, I forget their names, what are
their names? Elli and Tory were so cute and adorable.
I felt very proud in that moment because when they
spoke at rehearsal dinner, I looked at Ashton and I
was like, I don't know if Dean and Kaylen were
speaking in hyperbole, but they said, the only reason that
people are speaking is because of the advice I gave

(20:11):
on the podcast.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
So I feel a little responsible right now. Responsibly responsible, Okay, great.

Speaker 4 (20:16):
So then I felt very proud in that moment that
everybody that spoke crushed it.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
I was like, hell, yes, we should have let you speak.
In that case, I just want to say that the
only reason people are speaking is because of me. You're welcome,
You're welcome.

Speaker 4 (20:28):
Yeah, I'll take all the credit for Dean and Caln's wedding.
So we got there and then the rehearsal dinner was beautiful.
Loved the speeches. It was just so nice and that
whole outdoor table with the lights and between the trees
it was The food was really good. I love that

(20:50):
everybody really dressed up for their Western chic Ben just
looks straight out of eighteen eighty two. And so playing
games that night was so much fun. Dean, Were you hungover?

Speaker 1 (21:06):
No, you know I didn't. I did get drunk a
couple nights, but I was never hungover. It was nice
to little cold plunge in the morning and like hot
tab cold plunge, hot tub cold plunge. And no, I
was never hungover. I mean I was, yes, I was,
but never like pounding headache or anything like that. You know, yeah,
I was a little nervous.

Speaker 4 (21:24):
I was like, please just tell me, Dean, because then
when we went up to sleep and this was like
probably eleven thirty, like your boys were like shots and
I'm like, oh, dude, please, like Dean, come on, baby, Oh,
I gotta do it.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
I intercepted Jared and Ashley on the way up to
their bed the first on Friday night. I was pretty drunk.
I was like on one, I was like, you guys,
can't go to bed until I talked to you for
thirty more minutes. And so I just I just like
sat at the bottom of the stairs with Jared n
Ashley probably like two feet away, basically just like you, screaming,
like speaking way too loud considering how close we were

(21:58):
to each other.

Speaker 4 (22:00):
It was the best part of the wedding for me.
It was amazing, and Ashley and I loved it so much.
The next day, obviously, was the day of the wedding,

(22:21):
and I wish so bad so because that when you
talk to us, you were like, Jared, I'd love for
you to get ready with us, and I was like,
I would be honored, I would love to hang out
with you. So during the day I was kind of
hanging out and I saw your brothers walking around, so
I was like, all right, I know they're not getting
ready yet. But then it was like one o'clockish one
thirty and I hadn't heard from anybody, and I texted Judene.

(22:46):
I was like, you guys still getting ready? And then
I was kind of looking around and I was like,
I don't want to miss out if case they are
getting all ready. So I was like, ash, I'm just
going to head to Dean's cabin and just see, like
what's going on. So I walked over and I felt
so awkward because it was only you and the cameramen
and I knocked. I was like, oh, are you Are
you guys get ready? We're like no, we're not getting ready.

(23:07):
But then that's when I saw you that you cut
your hair yeah, And I was like, holy shit, you
did it?

Speaker 1 (23:13):
Fuck yes, I yeah. That whole haircutting thing was a
bit of a debacle, just because I wish that I
had washed it and I've gone it looked so such
along rant about washing my hair, I should have washed it.
I didn't wash it. But that whole thing was interesting.
I completely misjudged the amount of time it would take
me to get my hair cut, get dressed, and write
my vows, and I thought that I was going to

(23:35):
have like two hours to kill with all my buddies
in the room, like just drinking beers and hanging out
before the wedding started. But no, I like, like Jared
came in, and the only other person that came in
was my one of my brothers, Ross, and I like
had no time to like go and get on my
friends and like bring them to the cabin and like
get ready with me because I was caught from noon
until from like eleven, I guess, until two PM when

(23:57):
I had to be ready for pictures. I was like
doing something the entire time, so I like didn't have
a chance to like go get people and be like, hey,
we're getting ready, let's go kind of thing, you know.

Speaker 4 (24:08):
And Caitlyn, I love that you had Emma come do
your makeup because she's the best, and she's also just
the part of the family, like she's just and it's
cool because I don't know, like we were talking because
Tanya is engaged, and she was like, oh, I think

(24:29):
you know, I'd love for Emma be there, but I
know she has another like Tanya has another friend that
wants to make up, so we'll see. But it's also
I'm sure that you were very happy that Emma was
with you that day because it's your day. Yeah, you're
the bride, and so of course you want your makeup
to look great. And Emma does such an incredible job.
But also Emma's just the person that you want to
be around on the day of your wedding.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
And someone kept telling me that they're like the person
your makeup artist is so important, not only for the
way you look, but you're spending so much time with
that person, just like face to face all day. And
she is the best person. She just kept me so calm,
and she's so fun and energetic.

Speaker 3 (25:06):
I love Emma.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
Show and your grandparents are the sweetest.

Speaker 4 (25:09):
Oh yeah, uh, your I didn't know your grandmother was
like the most badass woman ever. Uh. And your grandfather's
so sweet. It feels like she definitely dominates the relationship
and that's the most adorable thing. And Dean, I don't

(25:31):
know if you remember at the reception afterwards, because you
were obviously like feeling it as you well should at
your wedding day. But you're at Kaylen's grand Kaylen's grandmother
wanted a tattoo.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
Yeah, And I went up to Dean.

Speaker 4 (25:45):
I was like, Brokaylen's grandmother wants to you need to
like get her at the front of the line before
anybody else.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
And then you were like, yeah.

Speaker 4 (25:53):
But I want you to get a tattoo, and I
was like no, no, no, I like, I want to get
a tattoo and trust me. But there's a huge line here.
Which it was cool that everybody wanted a tattoo.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
We were excited. Everybody at that wedding wanted attack. We
were excited, and I was kind of surprised by the
amount of the amount of excitement about the tattoos. Like
I thought, there's gonna be like five or six or
seven or ten of us that wanted tattoos, but there
was a list of sixty not sixty because there's only
seventy people at the wedding, but there was probably forty
to fifty people on that list. Yeah, maybe even more.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
What sucked is I didn't realize he wasn't going to
size them, which it makes sense, but I also didn't
realize every gonna be so big, like Dean's ghost is huge.
So that definitely cuts some people from the list, which
might have helped in hindsight.

Speaker 1 (26:36):
Good clean lines, though actually I haven't really looked at
it yet. Until today. It's a good look good, it's
a good ghost.

Speaker 4 (26:42):
And then so you have to get you have to
get a tattoo with Klen's grandmother.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
Oh yeah, she.

Speaker 3 (26:48):
Said she's going to schedule the appointment. She told me that, oh.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
I missed that. Maybe I should schedule it. He should,
I should take the initiative on that. Okay, I think
you should take the initiative. Okay, but.

Speaker 4 (27:00):
Yeah, yeah, dude, you just looked straight up like Jack Dawson.

Speaker 1 (27:03):
It was insanity, like you straight up.

Speaker 3 (27:06):
It was just I just wish and accept the compliment.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
It's just we're gonna be looking at those pictures for
the rest of our lives, and every time the first
thing I'm going to see is my greasy hair. And
it's not bad, but there were some no, it looks good.
There were some pictures where I like slicked it back
and I like didn't settle back properly in time.

Speaker 3 (27:24):
So now Dean has a mullet and I kind of
like it.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
Yeah, the mullet place, the mullet place. It slaps and
place interesting.

Speaker 5 (27:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (27:36):
And then of course, my favorite part of any wedding
is the ceremony, because that's why we're all there to
witness the union what I find so cool, And obviously,
you know, you guys are the ones that have gone
through this, so I'm literally just witnessing everything. But you know,

(28:00):
we always talk about family, and obviously both of you
have had stories about your own personal families, and so
for me and Ashley as well, I could speak for
her about this because we talked about it afterwards. Was
so beautiful about weddings in general, but specifically your wedding
is that it was the of course not the beginning,

(28:23):
because you guys have been together for a while, but
really the symbolism of you guys are family, like you.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
Know, it's.

Speaker 4 (28:35):
I think just you two being each other's family now
has such a gravity to it compared to other stories,
Like of course Ashley and I are family and we
love the symbolism of it and coming together. But I
think for you two, with your own personal stories, I
think that there's just a more of an impact to

(28:56):
that moment of YouTube just joining to be one and really,
you know, the very very infancy of your relationship and
the beginning of your family and and you know, going
down this path I just found beautiful and it was
really cool to witness and of course you know your
guys vows. I mean, we're just well, I spicked over Jackson.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
By Jackson, I mean crushed it. Yeah, so good, so good.
He was the perfect I'm glad we asked him because
if it was some person we didn't know, it wouldn't
have been good.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
And I don't know if any of your other friends
could have done what.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
He did, like Mike could have, but Jackson was much
better than Yeah, Jackson was perfect, dude.

Speaker 4 (29:47):
Jackson crushed it, did such a good job, funny, entertaining, emotional.

Speaker 1 (29:55):
I just know you guy.

Speaker 4 (29:56):
You know I love an efficient that really is just
personally chosen by the couple and can give really a
perspective on both of you that other people don't have
and really just make it personal because that's why we're there.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
We're they're celebrating your love.

Speaker 4 (30:15):
That's one of the things that I love about speeches
is that like I want to I want to witness YouTube.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
You know, I was telling Ashley.

Speaker 4 (30:21):
I forget if I told someone else too, but I
was like on wedding days and wedding you know, ceremonies,
even with our hearselenar as creepy as this is gonna
sound and it's not meant to be that. I just
love watching you guys. I love watching your interactions and
you guys interact with each other and your friends and
your family on your day because there's just so much happiness.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
Like I'm you know, uh so anyway, that's cool.

Speaker 4 (30:46):
But then your vows, your personal vows again, just like Dean,
you went first, Yeah, and just bro, do you realize
that everybody in that area was crying like you?

Speaker 1 (31:00):
I can't even that's what people. I felt like I
was blowing it because I was reading the notes for
the like I just wrote them down. I hadn't had
a chance to like read them and kind of like
get a pace for the vows. And I remember reading
it and then I remember like stuttering a couple of
times and literally looking into the crowd and be like
I suck at this. And then so like the people

(31:21):
kept saying they were crying. I was like, what do
you mean you were crying? I was like, I I
didn't even know how to put a sentence together.

Speaker 4 (31:28):
Dude, Well, yeah, you flubbed a couple of times. But
it was very endearing because it's like up Dean, but
it was yeah, I think what happened. I can't even
like get through it. As soon as you said I
want to talk about my mom, it was like, oh
my god, here we go, Like I can't handle this shit. Yeah,
and you started speaking, and I think what makes it? So?

(31:52):
There's a couple things that were going through my head
during this one. Of course, you know, we've talked about
the relationsip that you had with your mom, the relationship
that your brothers and your sister had with your mom,
and so to hear you just kind of talk about
it in a very grand environment but very personal and
vulnerable was emotional in itself. And you know, just knowing

(32:18):
how much she meant to you, how much you miss her,
and knowing that she was still, you know, very much
there in spirit. And I think also you telling these things,
of course, like the person you're talking to is Kaylin,
and we're just witnessing it, and so I think for us,
you know, I don't want to put words in your mouth,
but I would imagine this is the scenario that the
most important woman in your life up to this point

(32:40):
has been your mother, and now you're kind of talking
about your mom to the most important woman in your life. Now,
which is Kaitlin, is really just a powerful moment and
that I think had everybody in tears, and just of
course like Dean, you being the Golden Retriever puppy you
are and just the innocent man, and like how everybody
loves you. Just yeah, a lot of tears. And then

(33:01):
of course personally for me and Ashley, you know, I
was thinking about your mom not being there and just
how me personally, like the idea that I wouldn't be
there for Dawson's wedding is just tough to swallow. Yeah,
like I thought, I can't even process right now for
sure that I can only pray doesn't happen.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
So yeah, a lot of emotions going on in that moment, man. Yeah,
being apparent I can imagine must put a twist on
the emotions when it comes to that kind of stuff,
because it's like the last thing you could even imagine
is not being there at Dawson's wedding, you.

Speaker 4 (33:36):
Know, No, Yeah, And so the whole thing are emotional.
And then Kayln, you started beginning your vows and just
the way that you talked about Dean and your relationship
blossoming from how you guys started in Paradise all those
years ago to the moment that you are now and

(33:59):
what Dean has done for you personally and within a
relationship was just cool because I think what calin you
present this like you're very calm, cool, collective, like even

(34:19):
like we talked about the brain scans, like things that
I didn't know about you in terms of like the
fear that you have that I can relate to in
terms of like, well, if something's happening in a week,
I'm going to be depressed for a week because I
just dread it coming. But you put on this exterior
that like nothing bothers you. You have everything collected, like
you are just, for lack of a way of putting it,

(34:39):
put together very very well. And don't take this the
wrong way, but that's just not the truth, because you
wouldn't be human if you were. And you have your
own story with your own family and how you were
brought up, and I think you talking about those things
in your vows and what Dean has done for you
in a relationship stance, and how you've have grown and

(35:01):
you've grown individually but also grown together with Dean over
the past few years and having this moment where you
guys finally make it official and put the rings on
each other. It was just beautiful to witness, and you
guys looked incredible. Obviously some of those photos damn, well,
I didn't know that you guys took photos in a boat,
like god, damn straight out of the notebook. Man.

Speaker 1 (35:21):
Yeah, we debated on whose idea that was. I still
think it was mine. Well it was mine. Well, thanks, thanks, Jared.
We appreciate the kind words. It was fun. It's so
interesting to look back now because I've talked on this
podcast before, not about how I wasn't excited for the wedding,
but how I was.

Speaker 3 (35:38):
You've said that, You've said.

Speaker 1 (35:39):
That it just yeah, okay, fine, let's say that that's
what I was saying, which maybe isn't too far from
the truth. But now that it's over, I have like
post wedding post trauma. Yeah, post wedding depression. I guess
it would be because now, like you know, aside from
having a kid, that's going to be the best day
of our life. It was so much fun having all

(36:02):
of our friends together. It was so much fun, like
being the reason our friends were together, which I don't
really often experience that I hate hosting parties because I
have the insecurity of like people not showing up, as
we've talked about so many times, and now knowing that
like that grand event of our lives is behind us
is kind of like saddening to me because it was
so fun and because it went so much better than

(36:23):
I could have ever possibly dreamed of it going. And
now to know that's not going to happen again for ever,
his kind of well, that's.

Speaker 2 (36:30):
What's crazy is that Dean never wanted a wedding. He
was like adamant, he wants to a lope, he doesn't
want this. He wasn't excited about it. It was stressing
him out, like he made all of those things known.
And then a few days after the wedding he was like,
we were just on a hide, like still are It's
just the best day of our lives. And he kept saying,
oh my god, that was the best day of my life.

(36:51):
That was the best weekend of my life. And just
to hear him say that someone who didn't want a
wedding is so cool.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
Yeah, it was great. And then it was so interesting too.
We were hanging out and Aspen a couple of days afterwards,
and one of my kind of friends from high school
came walking by tapped me on the shoulder and I
was like, Hey, what's up, blah blah blah. So I
got married. Congratulations, I'm getting married this weekend in snow
mass which is right right next to Aspen. And I
was like, Oh, I've got so much advice for you, Like,
relish every moment, understand like everything is, everyone's there for you.

(37:19):
You're you know, you're the main event for the most part,
and just make sure you cherish every single moment. Because
if I could go back, it's not that I didn't
cherish every moment, because I really did, but I would say, like,
just take it all in because before you know it,
it's gonna be over and you're gonna be wishing it
never ended. And it was just so interesting to have
such a I like have. I don't think I've ever
flipped on something so hard as I did about that

(37:41):
I have about the wedding.

Speaker 3 (37:42):
You know, it's crazy to see.

Speaker 1 (37:43):
Honestly, Yeah, on part of it here too, is like
hearing Jared and our other friends talk so positively about it,
and I'm sure there were some people that maybe had
some negative things to say that we just don't hear.
But all I've heard is the positive things and just
hearing about how this party that we put on for
everyone went off so well and everyone had such a

(38:03):
great time. It was just a very positive experience for me.

Speaker 3 (38:06):
Yeah, very positive.

Speaker 2 (38:07):
And Deane and I talked about this a little bit,
just having friends that pump us up for marriage and
get us so excited for marriage. Like Dean was talking
to Josh and Josh was just telling him how awesome
marriage is and how great it's been married, being married
for two years and having friends that enjoy marriage and
don't shun it is being cool.

Speaker 1 (38:25):
It's so funny. I told Josh this so many times
throughout the course of that weekend. I was like texting you,
like thanking him for coming to the wedding before we
you know, just like when he rsvp'ed for the wedding.
I was like, thank you so much for coming. I
can't wait to hang out with you guys. He was
like raving about marriage. He's like marriage is the best thing.
I just like kind of going on and I was
like I was like, okay, yeah, yeah, whatever, whatever, Sure,

(38:45):
I'm sure it is. You probably just like have to
say that. And then last week I was playing golf
with my buddies in LA and we're on like the
twelfth tee or something like that, and I've had a
couple of beers and I was just like standing up there.
No one said an word for like thirty seconds, and
I was just like, I said this hell. I was like,
marriage is going awesome, you guys. And then I was like, shoot,
I'm becoming the guy that like preaches marriage. But granted,

(39:09):
one of the guys that I played off with regularly
is married and he was like, yeah, it is. And
then like to my two single friends, I just feel
like I'm the guy that's like trying to preach this
gospel of marriage. But it's true. It's like marriage, we're
a weekend, so who really knows how things are gonna go,
but a weekend. I like him so happy to be
a husband, and like it's it's the coolest thing I've
ever done, hands down, And I like, I'll say it

(39:29):
till the day I die. His marriage is way cooler
than I ever possibly thought it could have been. So
it's going, well, it's going, well, yeah that's awesome. But
we're glad, you guys. Had fun. We're glad you guys
stayed warm because I know that you were stressed out
about that.

Speaker 4 (39:42):
No, it was great, It was awesome, So thank you
again for having us.

Speaker 5 (39:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (39:58):
Hey, everyone, it's Sophia Bush, host of the podcast Work
in Progress. I am thrilled to tell you that Work
in Progress is back for a third season. My friends,
it has never been more important than right now for
us to have all of these big conversations together. We
are going to get educated, a little bit enlightened, and
we will definitely be entertained. I started Work in Progress

(40:22):
because I'm a curious person, and I realized there are
so many people I get to speak to that are
fascinating and rare, and so I thought, why not take
these conversations out into the world. I'm going to be
having deep chats with thought leaders, newsmakers, celebrities, entertainers, authors,

(40:43):
elected officials, and more. You can join us and listen
to Work in Progress on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Speaker 4 (41:00):
I do want to talk about like the biggest dating
news in all the world.

Speaker 3 (41:04):
Oh, Taylor and Travis?

Speaker 1 (41:06):
Oh is that it is?

Speaker 5 (41:08):
That? It?

Speaker 1 (41:09):
Yeah? Yeah, one of these is the biggest dating world.
You must be in a unique situation because you're a
big NFL football fan, you are you well, yeah, but
I I don't give one crap about Taylor Swift. But
you are married to Ashley, who I'm sure cares very deeply,
and Kayln cares as well. But I don't think anyone

(41:29):
cares harder than Ashley about that type of stuff, like
pop culture, Taylor Swift's type of stuff.

Speaker 4 (41:34):
Yeah, there's a lot of intricacies. There's a lot of
going on here.

Speaker 1 (41:38):
Yeah, I'll tell you what. As a football fan, I'm
so sick of it. I don't want to see Taylor
Swift on my screen every time Travis Kelsey gets mentioned
on Sunday Night football. I don't want to have to
watch the Giants game the next night and still have
to be hearing about Taylor Swift.

Speaker 2 (41:54):
But I'm trying to put pull their her lyrics into
every single aspect of the show.

Speaker 3 (41:59):
I agree.

Speaker 2 (42:00):
I am just so confused by their relationship because she's
so private and was so private for so long that
she dated Matt heally was kind of public, and this
is like so public.

Speaker 3 (42:10):
I don't understand. It doesn't make sense.

Speaker 2 (42:12):
Yeah, yeah, is cute, but like Travis is hot, Taylor
can get anywhere.

Speaker 1 (42:17):
Travis is hot. Travis Kelsey's not hot, Bro, He's hilarious
and he's hot, and he's like the Harold that does
the best tight end of our generation. So he's got
a lot go Okay, but.

Speaker 3 (42:27):
Taylor Swift doesn't care about football, it makes.

Speaker 1 (42:30):
Sense for her to use him to bolster her singing career.

Speaker 3 (42:33):
That's insane.

Speaker 4 (42:34):
Yeah, obviously he's lifting her up. Wait a minute, you
think just quickly hands down the best tight end of
our time.

Speaker 1 (42:42):
I would, oh gronk yeah, good point good, Well.

Speaker 4 (42:45):
You know, I don't know, it's it's a debate anyway,
point being listen, just it's it's getting too much.

Speaker 1 (42:51):
I respect Taylor so much, and.

Speaker 4 (42:53):
That's why it's like, bro Travis Kelsey, all right, Like
I guess, like I like the fact that she's dating
a man, you know, like like like you know, he's
a football player, Like, yeah, that's a Mayan. You know,
she usually goes for a more feminine man. But that's
totally fine. But like I like her changing her her
uh her likes. But it's just like it's not gonna last,
Like everybody in the world knows this will not last,

(43:16):
which is totally fine, just have fun date. But like
the idea that these Swifties are now twisting themselves into
a princil about how like, oh, no, we're gonna love
Travis Kelsey, We're gonna love the NFL. This is great,
even though you know, in six months when it doesn't
end well and she writes a song that says like
I dated the football player and we're like, yeah, we

(43:37):
hate Travis kelcey, you know, because it's just gonna end
that way, which is totally fine. But the over like, dude,
I don't mind, of course, Like it's pretty cool, Like oh,
when the first time it happened was like, oh, Taylor's
in the suite, That's pretty cool, dude.

Speaker 1 (43:48):
It's getting way too much. It's getting overboard.

Speaker 4 (43:51):
The Kansas City Chiefs are now the evil lumpire to me,
like I am rooting against them every single time they play,
and I'm rooting against them, and I pray that when
they lose, there's just a shot of t Swift in
the owner's booth or whatever boots she's in, just sitting.

Speaker 1 (44:07):
There because it's like it's time to open I root
against enough. It makes me sad. And I was watching
this TikTok video the other day. It was so funny.
It was these two guys sitting down watching football, big
Chiefs fans, and they were like going through Taylor Swift's
past relationships and they're like, yeah, so Taylor Swift dates
guys typically for about two months. That puts us at
week twelve of the NFL season. That means Travis Kelcey

(44:28):
is going to hit a major slump Week twelve and
the major crunch time for the playoffs, Like and then
Travis kelsey is gonna start playing so horribly because he's
gonna get this on slot of negativity from all the Swifties.
The Chiefs are screwed. We're not going to win another
super Bowl. And it was just like so funny. How
like it because you're right, Jared, Like they're gonna presumably
they'll break up at some point unless they get married.
That's awesome if they do, because marriage is awesome, but awesome,

(44:51):
but just but that will not happen both of their
track records combined, because Travis kelce is kind of a
serial dater as well.

Speaker 4 (44:58):
I think at least like yeah, do you remember he
had a show called Catching Kelsey and cringe. That's right,
so cringe Tanner Tolbert, his sister was on that show.

Speaker 1 (45:10):
I did not know. That's funny. Well, it's gonna be
interesting if they break up in the middle of the
season because it will have an impact regardless of whether
we regardless of whether we'll see it or not, it
will have some sort of impact on Kelsey and the Chiefs,
and it's just gonna be curious to see that because
they are, you know, every year it seems like they're
super Bowl contenders, like the favorites to win the super Bowl,

(45:31):
and this could either help him or hurt them if
they're going to stay together. The sheet and she wants
the Chiefs to win the super Bowl, they have to
break up like in March, exactly right, They have to
make it to at least March.

Speaker 3 (45:41):
Also, should we talk about our house before we go?

Speaker 1 (45:44):
Yeah. So one of my favorite things about the wedding
is the aftermath. We were in Aspen on our mini
moon in the hotel and Caitlyn was just like sitting
on the couch in the hotel room. She's like, I
just love it here so much, and I was like, yeah,
I know, I tell you all the time about how
this is the best place in the world, and she
like is kind of like would always like nod her

(46:05):
head and like agree with me, but she didn't really
have a full understanding of how great it is.

Speaker 2 (46:09):
Oh I did, because every time we go to Aspin,
I would be so sad when we left, and I
always felt like it wasn't enough time.

Speaker 1 (46:15):
But I think what it really took was the wedding
weekend for you to be like, this place is what
it's hyped up to be.

Speaker 3 (46:22):
Yeah, but if you put it at the.

Speaker 2 (46:25):
Well, we put in an offer, We extended our mini
moon God and we we stid an extra day. We
stayed at the Saint Regis, which was awesome and probably
the only time we'll be able to stay there. And
then we saw two houses with our realitor, and the
second house is the one so we've been we thought
by now we know. Yeah, it's been a longer process
than I thought.

Speaker 1 (46:46):
We submitted an offer, we got pre approof for a loan.
We're like going through the process of hopefully finalizing this.
We did under shoot low ball. They offer a little.

Speaker 2 (46:55):
Bit bit Well, if you look at the neighborhood. All
of the houses are at a certain price and ours
is way above. So we're trying to bring him down
a bit. But yeah, he won't give us a price back,
like we gave him an offer. He won't counter offer
with us. He's just like, well, what's your number. I'm like,
we gave you a number, Well what's your highest. Well
that is our highest.

Speaker 1 (47:11):
It's a little more involved because it's a new construction
house and so that like we went't and viewed it,
but it was just the framing was done and so
we didn't see any finishing. We didn't see an drywall,
we didn't see any flooring, nothing like that. But it's
on a golf course, which is awesome, and it's big.
It's like a four bedroom, five bath.

Speaker 2 (47:30):
House or bed six bath, yeah, thirty three square feet.
So it's perfect for kids and we wouldn't have to
move again.

Speaker 1 (47:35):
That's the thing is, we would buy this house and
because like we're not going to raise our kids in Vegas,
no chance, And we would buy this house and it
would just be like the perfect house to have two
little kids running, five little kids running around, seventeen little
kids running around in So this is it in Aspen,
right outside of Aspen. Yeah, it's a few towns down.
Did you guys fly in to Aspen or flying to

(47:55):
Denver and drove Aspen? Yeah, so you didn't drive through
this town, then this is it's further down. It's further
down Deley Kill And saying not to say the town.

Speaker 2 (48:03):
Well you just said it's on a golf course. We're
just going to give away exactly where nine.

Speaker 1 (48:07):
Courses in the valley there. But it just made my
heart so happy to hear her want because like, I've
always wanted to live in the valley again, but I can't.
I can't just transfer that yearning for it onto you.
Like you had to come to that conclusion yourself, and
the fact that you did is so awesome because I
grew up there and it's it's a it's a bubble
in a good way. Like you know, you're kind of

(48:29):
cut off from the rest of the world in a
way that like you're not worried so much about crime,
you're not worried so much about all of these like
geopolitical things that are going on. Of course you still
care about them, but they don't affect you so much
on a day to day basis, and so to give
our kids the same luxury of growing up in a
town like that would be. So it's similar to like
you moving back to Rhode Island. You know you love
your childhood so much, and so you want to give
Dawson a similar experience. And it's the same for me,

(48:51):
Like I want my kids to be able to go
hiking and skiing and growing up on a golf course.
My kids are going to be sticks with the golf clubs.
It's going to be awesome, obviously. And the next time,
it's just so, we're probably not going to get this house.
We're hey, we're banking well, of course we want it
really bad, but it's like, I don't think we should
put allur eggs in this basket. And if we don't
get this one, then we'll just continue to look for

(49:12):
something else that might be suitable for us. But just
the fact that it's even within the realm of conversation
is so exciting for me.

Speaker 2 (49:18):
Hopefully next week we'll have a number that's just yeah,
been drawn out quite a bit.

Speaker 1 (49:22):
It's so interesting too, because when I was living in
la I was looking at people that still lived in
the valley, and I was like, how could you still
live there? There's so much more world to see, There's
so many more people to meet, so many more things
to do, And now that I'm thirty two and married,
I'm like, all I want to do is get back
to that quite a little town and start a life.
And if I were to do if, I don't know
what kind of business I want to get into at
some point in my life, but it would involve building

(49:44):
things or some type of like creative thing, and I
think that that would benefit that type of stuff as well,
living in a small town like that, where creativity is
kind of like apexing out there like in a smaller town.
I don't know. I don't know how to explain it.

Speaker 2 (49:58):
Yeah, also real quick, I don't know this is true,
and I need to look into it. Maybe I shouldn't
even speak on it. But someone said that they're trying
to pass a bill so if you leave LA, you
have to pay taxes there for ten years.

Speaker 1 (50:10):
That doesn't Yeah, I should fact check it.

Speaker 2 (50:12):
But that would be crazy and good thing we got
out when we did, Yeah, all of us.

Speaker 4 (50:16):
I gotta be honest. That sounds like LA, which is
so frustrating. Yeah, it's like we were so good to you.

Speaker 3 (50:22):
You can not let people believe it's crazy.

Speaker 1 (50:26):
Yeah, I don't know. La is great. I do love La.

Speaker 2 (50:29):
Yeah, but I'm happy we got out and I'm happy
we're not settling down there.

Speaker 1 (50:32):
It's just funny that our price range. We were looking
at houses in LA and they were less expensive than
the house we're going to buy in Colorado.

Speaker 2 (50:40):
You know, well, it's just prices have gone up. It's
the market these days, you know.

Speaker 1 (50:44):
It's the market these days. Yeah, so hopefully we get
a house in Colorado. Obviously, we'll keep you guys updated
on the podcast because it is an ever changing situation
that we're in right now. We did, we moved really
fast up to this point, and now it kind of
seems like everything's come to screeching halt, halt.

Speaker 3 (51:01):
Yeah, and it's frustrating.

Speaker 1 (51:03):
Yeah, yeah, it Yeah, it's.

Speaker 3 (51:05):
Frustraating for me. Dean doesn't think it's frushating.

Speaker 1 (51:09):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (51:09):
I mean, the thing is, you still have a great
house in Vegas. There's really no rush. I mean, I
hope you guys get this house, but even if you don't,
I mean, it kind of makes it fun where you
can also still continue looking. It's always nice house hunting
frustrating as it is.

Speaker 1 (51:21):
That's what I keep telling Kaylan. It's like, yeah, of
course we want to be there sooner rather than later,
but we're not in any rush because we have this house.

Speaker 3 (51:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (51:29):
And then like if we were to buy this house
in Colorado, what would we do? Would we sell this
house or would be rented out? Because our rate is
so good in this house and it'd be crazy to like,
our interest rate is like two point nine percent and
you're not going to see that probably ever again in
our lives, and so just be crazy. That's all the
house at that rate. You know, it's just there's lots
of a lot to process, and it's just it's just

(51:49):
so great to see that, Kaylen, so much.

Speaker 4 (51:50):
All good things though, all good things, yeah, all good things,
all exciting thing.

Speaker 1 (51:54):
The new mortgage would not be a good thing. It'd
be expensive.

Speaker 4 (51:57):
But oh that's all right. Yeah, you know you'll just nothing,
no find away.

Speaker 1 (52:04):
We're gonna we're gonna know it. Yeah, we're gonna find
a way. But I guess that's probably gonna do it.
How much longer are you in Dallas for? I leave Sunday?

Speaker 4 (52:14):
So there for a while filming some b roll outside
of Dallas.

Speaker 1 (52:17):
Right now, I head down.

Speaker 4 (52:18):
Immediately after this podcast, we interviewed this woman, miss ople Lee,
who is ninety seven years old, and she is such
an inspirational story. She was born in Fort Worth, born
and raised there, which is like twenty minutes out of Dallas.
She's the grandmother of Juneteenth. She is the one who
was able to really push for Juneteenth to become a

(52:39):
federal holiday. And she was there when President Biden inside
it into office, and she actually has the pen that
he used.

Speaker 1 (52:44):
So it was just it's great hearing her story.

Speaker 4 (52:47):
And she's just an amazing human being who does like
so much work that I could even fathom. She's still
she still is dropping off. She was like, I gotta
drop ninety seven years old. She doesn't drive anymore, she
has someone driver. She's like, I gotta drop ten boxes
of food off at this local church to hand out.

Speaker 1 (53:07):
And she's like, I do it every day. And I'm like,
oh my god, some people are really good at making
you feel like a piece of crap. Seriously in the world,
yeah right, and we won't be that great ever, but anyway,
so doing some cool stuff like that and so it's fun.
It's cool. I'm excited. Nice man. Well, congratulations on branch
down on your own and get rid of that old
ball and chainey or Yeah, get her out of the way.

(53:30):
