Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the Benn and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
with her radio. Hello, all, welcome to the Almost Famous podcast. Ben,
How was your weekend? Tell me the high and the low?
You know what you kind of sound like right now?
What you know? I'm gonna forget her name, but she
does like thirty years of um like love advice on

(00:25):
on radio. Do you know what I'm talking about? No,
she's hey, everybody, somebody somebody out there, Delilah, Yes, Delilah, Hello, everybody,
Welcome to the Almost Famous Podcast. It's very like a
compliment as somebody who loves soft rock and all of
her song choices. Thank you. Yeah, she brings she she Yeah,

(00:49):
she's fantastic. Anyways, Ashley, Before the podcast started, we were
talking about our favorite chips, and I would really like
to hear from the listeners what their favorite chips are.
We're expanding this to um chocolate chips, even because Eastern,
one of our producers, was like, I like chocolate chips,
so we're gonna expand this to chocolate chips. I was
thinking more along the lines of like chips that you

(01:11):
put I guess you put chocolate chips in your mouth too,
like barbecue chips. Or I'm even Sydney one of our
new sur criman Onion Sydney, one of our new producers,
mentioned that she likes um the lime flavored What do
you call those, Ashley Tostados? Yeah, like the things you
stick on your finger. It makes you look like Tostitos.

(01:33):
That's it. I you know, if we're going that far,
I'm gonna go even the hallapenio flavored cheetos. Um. But
it's interesting, So listeners, please message us, write us, tell
us what you think on Twitter or on Instagram at
Almost Famous uh Underscore podcast. Right, and I said earlier

(01:56):
that my favorite chip was Doritos, which, yeah, I love Ardo. Okay.
He said it was basic, and I started thinking, I
guess like I like Kettle chips like cape cod chips
um or I just think there's like a brand called
Kettle right, and their hallepo is so good. But back
to my question, Ben, what did you do this weekend?

(02:17):
High and low? I golfed um a golf this weekend
and uh, I shot the worst score I shot probably
in ten years. Um. Here's a cool part though that
might be interesting too many people listening. One of my
best friends in the world. Um, he was not able
to attend my bachelor party because about a year ago

(02:39):
he was diagnosed with lime disease. Um. I mightbe have
mentioned it, but he has a pick line in right
now to help him get some medication. He was able
to play golf for the first time since he was
diagnosed with me. This weekend he was my golfing like buddy. Uh.
He crushed me, which wasn't fair because I felt bad
becase he had a pick line in. I was like,
I gotta take it easy, and then he just absolutely

(03:00):
wipe me up and down the course. Um. But it's
interesting as they learned more about lime disease, how many
people out there stuffer worth it. So again, listeners, if
you're somebody who has lime disease, all the info is
really welcome right now because we're trying to learn more
about it. But I mean, it's hard. It's tough on
on him. Did he get it from a tick or
a mosquito? I thought they were only from ticks, but

(03:22):
I recently read only about mosquito. Now I got it
from a tick. Uh during one of our camping trips.
So yeah, it's just interesting. But that was a big
weekend for us. And then Saturday night, and I'm gonna
ask you the same question. Saturday night, Jessica and I
had a date night, something that we are making a
priority in our relationship for the rest of our relationship.
And we went to a restaurant here in Denver called
Barolo Grill. It was fantastic. But before we went to

(03:45):
the restaurant, uh, she helped me pick out a new
pair of basketball shoes because I'm gonna try to get
back into it again and not tear my achilles. Um.
And then we went and hung up shelves at her
brand new skin studio in Denver that opened this weekend.
She is now seeing clients. You go to Jesskin jess

(04:06):
if you live in Denver coming through to see her. Um.
So I hung some shelves up so she could put
some product on the walls. That sounds exactly like our
weekends this weekend, very similar. Before we went to dinner,
we went to a really nice place in Bristol, Rhode
Island called the Beach House. The Beach House, I think,
and it was so cute right there on the water.

(04:28):
And then before that we went to Lows where I
put together my first ever flower boxes. Which made me
feel like that was the adult moment. If I've ever
realized that I am an adult, it was when I
went to Lowse on my own, well not on my own,
but with Jared because I wanted to go and make
flower boxes, and then he got equipment parts to help

(04:54):
enforce one of the shelves in my closet. So can
you believe the parallels? It's it's exciting. I'll tell you
what I mean. If anybody out there is going, hey,
my life is boring, I'll tell you the things that
bring me the most joy. I planned my garden this weekend,
actually so planning flowers, planning a garden. I hung a
bird house this weekend, hoping I get a nice little robin.

(05:15):
We got a hummingbird feeder now sitting out side that
I stuck up for Jessica. Uh, seeing some hummingbirds flying
around color. I mean, you know what it's Uh, it's
life that's exciting and fun and finding contentment and the
things that maybe you didn't expect before. But hey, if
you're listening, we still find it exciting, don't we. Actually, yes,
it's very nice and comforting. I like my early thirties life.

(05:40):
Oh it's so good. Hey, actually onto the podcast today
is a big day for us because we actually get
to talk to one of Bachelor nations most recently engaged humans.
This is one of our favorite people. Uh, a breath
of fresh air in the Bachelor franchise. Somebody that is
a fan favorite for sure. Aara Herron is going to

(06:01):
be on the podcast today. Oh yeah, she's gonna tell
us exactly how our boyfriend Dylan proposed. And then we also,
of course have some hot topics and so many of
you have entered. Our sweepsticks are four year anniversary sweepsticks
that we have. The designer of the rings that we're
giving away, Jessica Sacks Dobbie Mos coming on the podcast

(06:24):
to talk about her jewelry line. But actually before we
get started with all of that, we want to remind
people that four or four year anniversary. We also have
apparel for sale, right, and so if you're looking to
buy some apparel, you're gonna my fan threads uh slash
almost famous and go check out some of our apparel.
If you're a listener, we'd love for you to grab
some of that. It's uh, it's special to us. Designed

(06:46):
by the team um and uh yeah, so apparel. And
then we're also doing a huge giveaway. Like we said,
we'll tell you all the information on that at the
very end of the podcast before we started. Let's take
a break, we come back. We're gonna break down in
a little bit more detail, a lot bit more detail
without knowing anything about these guys, Katie's Men. Hey, we'll

(07:07):
be back with almost nes podcasts. Alright, guys, So the
photos for Katie's Men have been released. If you guys
remember a few weeks ago. But and I did our
first impressions of the guys as we usually do, but

(07:29):
a lot of those photos where they're just like real
life photos, right, a lot of them were in landscapes
in their hometowns and all this The official photos came
out last week, and a lot of the guys that
we've already talked about are there in the official list.
So there's twenty nine guys plus the box. Now the
box is not a surprise to me. It's what's his
name from Plantatious season? Yeah, Blake, So you know they're

(07:54):
they're not releasing Blake as one of the cast members.
But there is a little present It looks like with
a whole bunch of questions marks underneath it, and that
will be our surprise guests, and I mean, like it's
got to be black, And honestly, I think Blake is
going to get really far. If you guys are completely
forgetting about the report that we had a couple of
weeks ago, Blake was set UM spotted on set early

(08:16):
on during the recording of Katie's season, and it looks
like I think he was with Katie and some of
the pictures, it looks like he's going to be a
cast member. And I think he's gonna get far. Do
you guys remember how like he was supposedly like really
sexual and then we know that Katie is pretty open
about her sexuality. I just think they're kind of gonna
jive immediately. And yeah, I'm predicting that Blake gets top four.

(08:41):
Um and some other fun little tidbits I got from
these guys because their bios came out. I took some notes,
um about the ones that stood out the most to
me because we have occupation now in hobbies and all
that there's a skin salesman, a skin salesman. I think
this is Jeff. How do you feel about that? Do

(09:03):
you know at all what that means. Ben, I'm imagining
he's like skin graphs, so like he probably like works
for a hospital and sells skin graphs. Yep, that is
what it is. But I like the way the Bachelor
calls him a skin salesman. Yeah, it could be a
little better. Like, I'm sure that's like a little bit
of of a diss on him. He's like, no, I'm like,

(09:23):
actually like somebody that matters and like help people. He's like,
I helped burn victims, but sure call me a skin salesman. Um.
Then there's a zipper salesman zipper Like, h like what

(09:43):
happened to the days that we actually could find out
what these people did for a living? Like there's is
there really somebody that brokers zippers for jeans? I guess
like that's the like I'm sure most of these gene
companies just go through like the manufact acture. So what
does he do? Call up you know, like SEVENS and goes, hey,

(10:05):
I've got a brand new zipper that you're gonna By
the way, zippers and I don't get along very often. Um.
But so like when I hear this, it's just not
like zippers on pants I'm I'm more of a button guy.
It's safer for many reasons. But does he just call
up SEVENS like, Hey, I got a good zipper for
you this year? Could be? Um. We got a little

(10:26):
tidbit from our producer Riley saying that there are four
point five billion zippers of all kinds that are consumed
amongst the American population, the US population per year. So
zippers are apparently more important than we think, and we
use them as they're part of our daily lives more
than we think of. Look, I got a zipper right

(10:47):
here in my shirt, and I bet you you have
a zipper on right now as we speak. No, I'm
you should know I'm wearing a T shirt and basketball shorts. Actually,
thanks for calling me out. I haven't changed it. I
worked out this morning. Oh that's okay. You know that.
That's like me every week we're on here. Um okay.
So then we have a guy who starts celebrating Christmas

(11:08):
in October every year. Well, that's Jessica, that's my fiance.
It's kind of endearing, I believe. Don't quote me on this.
That that is Josh who does this. Jared also would
love to start celebrating in October, probably like November one,
if we're going to be technical, because Jared does like

(11:28):
to soak up his thirty days of Halloween. Thirty one
days of Halloween. Yeah, you know what. Thanksgiving is one
of my favorite holidays. I have a problem with this because, um,
last year, Jessica really wanted to start celebrating in October
and I said, no, we gotta wait till at least
after Thanksgiving, because Thanksgiving is um is a time for

(11:48):
my family and her family to all get together. We
can't just skip over it. This isn't you know, this
is a memorable moment. But I get it. I'm learning
that people love to start celebrating as soon as, uh
they feel appropriate, and I feel like for Jessica, it's
like an all year thing. In fact, this two weeks
ago we went for dinner and they had Snowman painted

(12:10):
on the windows and she looks at me, she goes
Christmas and I was like, Yo, you gotta be kidding me.
We're married to the same person. Then, because that October
through Christmas era, Jared is just super excited. It's his
favorite time of year. He loves the holidays and everything
that it means um, but I like to milk each
one and I don't want to push one forward. That

(12:33):
makes sense. Okay. So then last note of mine that
that really stood out was there's one guy who says
he's good in bed. Yeah that guy. Uh you know what,
I've never hung out with any guy friend and been like,
I like you if that's how Yeah? Yeah, it just

(12:54):
feels like, like, you know, your actions speak louder than words.
M m uh, producers, I hear that you guys are
obsessed with the weird facts Eastern. Do you have any
that I didn't mention? Possibly? Possibly? Let me let me
pull up one of my favorites really quick. I love

(13:15):
having Easton in the pod. You know, it's a rare
treat and I appreciate you giving me this moment. Brandon
lives to attend the occasional rave. Brendan really does not
like vegetables. Wow, what a wacky fact. But there's one
guy who really likes parades. Oh, here he is Christian

(13:36):
heard about that loves parades, dreams of driving the Batmobile,
and rocked a Foehawk in his younger days. Oh god,
that is Jared's best friend. That might be Jared's new
best friend. He loves parades, he like loves the pride
that comes along with them, and he also, of course
wants to drive the Batmobile. And I think, where is

(13:57):
he from? Do we not? Do we know this? He's
from Boston, Massachusetts. Oh my god, it really is Jared's
future best friend. Are our raves still a thing? Because
when I was growing up, going to a rave was
like we always talked about in high school. You know,
you kind of whisper like, oh, you going to the
rave this weekend, and then you choke to this rave
and everybody like paint like like a highlighter on each

(14:19):
other and musically blast. Yeah, it was like underground raves.
Is that still a thing? That sounds very uh illegal children? Actually?
I mean if if I'm sure, there's a lot of
things I did in high school that were legal. Um,
But yes, I think raves were a thing. I think
we I mean, I wonder if they still are, and

(14:40):
if not, maybe we could bring them back. I feel
like they kind of came back, uh in in you know,
the early two thousands to mid two thousand's. It came
back from the eighties. So I mean, super interesting group
of guys. You know my unique standout Courtney because he
spells his name qu a r t n e y.

(15:01):
I've never seen that spelling for Courtney. Maybe it is common.
I just am, you know, kind of hide under rocks
sometimes certainly not common. It's kind of cool. Yeah, it's
really cool. It kind of makes me want to court me,
like you know, like a little really makes things special. Um, Ashley,
if I was to ask you a question, yes, sir,
that we do every year, it's a big question for us. Well,

(15:22):
I was going to change this question top three. Yeah,
I always feel like I'm like struggling for that three.
So can I give too? Because I feel really strongly
about two, Ashley, You're the boss you can give to.
Who are your two standouts without watching an episode, knowing

(15:44):
anything about them, just seeing their pictures and some interesting facts.
Aaron and Marcus. But like I hope that's just not
because like I enjoy their vibes. I might be picking
them for my own companionship and less of Katie's because
like Katie has a whole different personality than me. Not

(16:06):
that I know Aaron and Marcus personalities either, but they
stand out. So what about you? Uh? If I'm looking
at these guys, and if I glance over them, there's
two that stand out to me. Carl Uh. Carl is
very confident. You can see it in his eyes and
in the way he's holding himself. Why am I not

(16:26):
seeing him? Oh? There he is, Carl with a K.
That's why. Yeah, Carl with a K. And I'm also
kind of like Vibe and Austin. Austin Uh goes with
the old school burgundy golf shirt for his picture. It
means he has some fashion sense. Um, he's facing the
camera directly like he knows that he's entering into this

(16:49):
thing in confidence. So Austin and Carl are standing out
to me. If I'm only going to give two, if
I were to choose a third, which I think I
still can can do that, can I give you my
third next week? Yeah, you can give me your third
next week, I would say Marcus. I think Marcus Uh
looks like a kind man with a gentle smile. I

(17:13):
expect big things from Marcus. I will be really disappointed
if he doesn't stand out. Um, I mean this group
of guys and and be it might be the change
of background now for the pictures that they're they're doing.
It's a good looking group of guys who you know,
sometimes we look at this and we're like, what in
the world where they find these dudes? We look at
this group and we're like, these guys, you know what

(17:35):
they got something like this could be a good group
of men. They're fine, but they're not as exciting to
look at on these backgrounds as they were in that preview.
Because remember when I saw the preview, I was like, oh,
they're cute, and I'm looking at these pictures and I'm like, yeah,
they're fine. I mean, if I'm just to be vain,
and we all know that nobody looks their best. Everybody
looks their worst actually in these photos. Oh, I mean

(17:57):
they always do. It's it's sometimes like you watch ease
and you see them on TV, it's a completely different person. Um. Well, Ashley,
I'm excited for this season. And to close out this
little segment, when remind me when Katie's season is actually
gonna start, because I feel like, uh, you know, it's

(18:18):
already been filmed, it's just it's gonna be a bit still.
But when does this start? Monday, June seventh. Al Right, guys,
Bachelor atte back on Monday's June seven. It's just a
two hour premiere. Um and then and then we'll know
all these men are a a little bit more with mentors.

(18:41):
Caitlin Bristow and Tatia Adams. They're calling them mentors now,
not like coaches, not friends. I don't they've kind of
changed the verbage up a little bit, but um mentors
is what we're calling Caitlin and Tasha. They're around for
the whole season. It's gonna be an interesting season, a
lot of changes. It's probably gonna feel very different, which

(19:01):
will make a really fun season for us to talk about.
And we will be talking about it right here on
the Almost Famous podcast. Well, Ashley, let's take a break,
get a drink of water. When we come back, we're
gonna be talking to the recently engaged Sarah Herron about
everything cool going on in her life. Alright, guys, Sora

(19:28):
Haron is here on the phone with us. Hey, Sarah, Hi, guys,
how are you. We are so good. We are so
happy for you. You have so much going on. Um,
you just got engaged last week. You're wanting you guys
building a house and you're starting IVF. Yeah, there's so
much on my play right now. I think my parents

(19:50):
are freaking out for me. But yes, I just got
engaged last week. We did buy a piece of property,
but we're like pushing pause on building for a while
just because the cost of building is so high, and
I mean all the things. And then yeah, we're beginning. Yeah, yeah,
you get it. We're both they're crazy. And then and

(20:13):
then I'm starting my I'm starting IVF this week. Actually,
where to begin? All right, let's start with the engagement.
You told me last week via text that you actually
were in the midst of designing. You didn't you're like
picking out your own ring, and that was months ago.
So start at the very beginning, when you guys had

(20:35):
the conversation of all right, let's find a ring. I know, okay,
so um, we had We've been talking about getting engaged
and getting married for a while because we started trying
to have kids last summer, and you know, the order
the sequence of the events didn't really matter to us.
We just because we know we want to spend our

(20:55):
life together, we want to have kids, and so we
started having kids trying to have kids for first, which
was a little out of order, but we knew we
wanted to get engaged and get married eventually. So Dylan
knows nothing about diamonds or jewelry, and so he originally said,
can you make like a Pinterest board for me to
have in my back pocket something? And so I started

(21:18):
doing that and I pretty much landed on this design
that I wanted, and I showed it to him and
I was like, I wanted something like this, and I
think you're going to have to have it custom made,
and so you know, I definitely had a hand in
the process and I helped him, but then I just
didn't know when or how it would happen. But I'm

(21:40):
very type as I wanted to design it. So when
what was important to you? Can you walk us through
the details of this ring? Um? So I just wanted
something very unique and original to me. You know, my
background is in design, so I like having almost like
my stand ump of originality on something. And it's very classic.

(22:05):
It's Art Deco inspired, and it's just it's not a
ring you see on most people. So I just wanted
to be a little different. I wanted to have it
feel like it was truly mine and I don't wear
a lot of jewelry very often. I'm always like outside
doing things. So when I do where, I wanted it
to feel not like it didn't belong on me, you know.

(22:28):
I didn't want it to feel out of character. So
did you see it before he popped the question? Now? Um,
we had a family friend who owns a jewelry store
in St. Louis. Um, it's called Genevese Jewelers, and they
she so Nicole, the owner of the jewelry company, was

(22:48):
designing it with Dylan. So I didn't know thither ring
was there until like until they finished it. So they
were doing all the design and the production behind scenes
without without me. Now leading up then to the moment
that he asked you to marry him, can you walk
us through that day if you expected it kind of what? What?

(23:12):
Where did he do it? How did it happen? Um? Yeah,
Well he was about to leave for a week long trip,
and so I think he was just like I just
got to like pull the band aid off, just do it,
because he told he told me afterwards like he had
been trying to come up with all these plans like
should we do it while we're in California? Should he

(23:34):
you know, trying to basically come up with the most
dreamy scenario and then he was like, you know what,
I'm just gonna do it where we spend our time
where saying I know Sarah loves So we did it
at home in Carbondale. It was this typical Saturday. We
went out for a float on the river. We have
a raft and he knows it's my favorite river. My

(23:55):
best friend from home was there, and I think it
was just like, Okay, this is as perfect as it's
going to be for us because this is what we
love doing. And so um, he had kind of tricked
me into thinking we were going out to shoot photos
for a brand, and so he was like, be sure
to put on some makeup and like wear the clothes

(24:15):
for Eddie Bauer and so I was a little like, m,
you don't usually tell me to put makeup. So I
was a little tipped off, but yeah, I was still
pretty surprised. That's awesome. So I we hate to put
this pressure on because I know this is the question

(24:35):
that everybody asked when somebody gets engaged and it's like, wow,
it's been a week. Can we just enjoy engagement? But
what kind of wedding are you picturing? And when I
know on your Instagram this week you said that you
wanted a long engagement. Yeah, I want to be engaged
for at least a year. Dylan. He's like, I defer
to you. If you want to run off in a

(24:56):
lope tomorrow, I'll do that. Or if you want to
draw it out and have you know, something more special
later on, we can do that. So I'm more comfortable
with a longer engagement. And that's just because, like we said,
we have so much on our plates right now that
I really just want to give each experience we're going

(25:16):
through enough time to like enjoy it. There's no rush,
you know. I want to enjoy a long engagement. I
want to be present through my IVF experience. I don't
want to feel like I'm trying to get everything done
by certain timeline. Do you do you mind sharing kind
of have then? How I mean you said that you

(25:36):
you kind of had talked with Dylan and you started
trying to have kids a year ago. How are the
conversations leading up to choosing to have IVF and how
has that process been for you? Yeah, it's been pretty
like rocky, It's it's pretty emotional. Um, we decided last summer,

(25:58):
like just something went off on a light switch went off.
I decided, you know what, I really do want to
be a mom. I want to have kids with Dylan.
I think it just like clicked for me. I was like,
I want to see him, you know, taking his little
kids hiking and just fantasizing about it. So we decided
to start trying, and after about seven months of no luck,

(26:19):
my gynecologists told me to come in and get tested
simply because I'm thirty four, and if you're over thirty
four and it takes a while, they want to check
on your hormone levels. So we found out I had
diminished ovarian reserve and that it was probably going to
be really difficult for me to get pregnant naturally. So
I had two options, and one option was to pursue

(26:42):
hormone just strictly like getting on hormones and still trying
UM naturally through intercourse. And then the second option was
to pursue IVF. And I had heard from many many
women that like, just go straight to IVF UM hormones
can really like kind of mess with you emotionally, and

(27:02):
I didn't really want to do that forever, especially if
time is of the essence. So we decided to jump
right in and you're starting that process. You're going to
California next week to get the eggs retrieved. So you've
been on a lot of hormones, I'm assuming the past
two or so weeks. How are you feeling? Um? I
actually start on Wednesday, So I'm out here prematurely, essentially

(27:26):
because I want to be here for the whole process.
So I'll be here for three weeks um, and I'll
be visiting with my fertility specialist every other day. So
since we are not in the same location, I just
I decided it would be best if Dylan and I
were here so that we could be with her in
person rather than like you know, trying to do all

(27:48):
this remotely and then flying in right before the procedure.
I just wanted to be here for all of it,
So I'll be all hormonal in an AIRBNBA somewhere. Well,
thank you for sharing all this. It's a personal but
I do think it helps a lot of women out
there when they hear this. Yeah. Yeah, And it's like,
I mean, it's such an uncharted territory when you come

(28:09):
into it for the first time, and so when I
found out. I just wanted to absorb everything I still do.
I read. I kind of stopped reading all the blogs
and the threads because you could just go down rabbit
holes forever. But you know, infertility was so nut I
didn't know. I didn't understand anything about it. So I'm
happy to share my experience because I know women have

(28:31):
a lot of questions, as do I. You know, it's
is it an exciting time? Like I mean, what are
what are your emotions right now? I mean you just
got engaged. You know, you're you're you are going to
have a longer engagement. This is happening in three weeks.
Like how are you doing personally? Um? Every day is
a little different. Um, right now, I'm really optimistic. Right now,

(28:55):
I'm really excited. I must feel like it's a high
because you're like, Okay, this is a really proactive step
that has great results. So for the first time, I
feel like, oh my gosh, this could actually be it.
But I'm also trying to stay level headed because it
is a journey, and you know, not everything always works

(29:16):
on the first try, and it does seem like in
you know, getting up until this point, it's been a
roller coaster like, as soon as something feels really good,
something kind of inevitably punches you in the face. And
so I've just kind of like learned to roll with
those punches. But right now, in this moment, I feel
really excited and I'm just trying to like cling onto

(29:38):
that optimism. Awesome, Well, we are happy for you, were
excited for you, and sending you all the positive love
and vibes all the baby dust is. People keep saying,
I know, let's go through some fun questions before we
let you go. I think I know the answer to
this one. Big or small wedding? What do you think small?

(30:01):
I think you're gonna have like a little thing in
the woods with like thirty to fifty people. Probably yeah, probably,
I mean yeah, less than a hundred, I think, but
definitely like smaller is is my demo. Last week we
had Desert Heart stock on and she was picking out
wedding dresses for so many people that got engaged in

(30:22):
the last few weeks, and she talked about yours and
she said, if I remember right, something, yeah, athletic and
like that you could like get into the woods with
and like that's beautiful strap list and like yeah, just
like something Yeah, you should go back and listen, because
she kind of, without having any knowledge of what you want,
we kind of picked your wedding dress for you. She

(30:44):
said it would be a form fitting, strapless bodice, but
then more flowing, like something that flows in the wind
with the bottom half. What have you've always imagined? I don't.
I don't think I'll do something like puffy, So we
didn't think it was gonna be pofy. I think, um,

(31:06):
but definitely like more on the classic side. I'm very um, yeah,
just like timeless, so probably form fitting. Um, I don't know,
I could see like just classic. I don't know. I
don't know. I need to like start studying. I guess
that will be my next Pinterest board. But it's funny

(31:29):
that Desert is like attuned to that because we were
on the show together and so she probably remembers like
a lot of the dresses that I wore. Smart, Yeah
he is. Our last question is do you foresee anyone
from Bachelor Nation being in your bridal party or a
prominent member of your wedding. Um? Not no, not in

(31:54):
my bridal party, because we don't think we're really going
to have Is that what the group what's the groom's groomsman?
See how much I know? Um No, I'll probably have
my sister be my maid of honor and Dylan will
have a best man and then that's it. Um. But
I would definitely love kind of I mean kind of

(32:16):
like you actually, like I would love to have a
lan and involved in some way like he's He just
means so much to me. I don't know about officiating,
but it will definitely be invited. Hey, he's licensed and
he is spectacular when he does it, as he is
with pretty much everything. Yeah, I know he would be great.
So yeah, I hope I envisioned him being there in

(32:37):
some capacity. But we'll have a small wedding party. Mhm alright, Sarah, Well,
thank you so much for joining us. We love having
you on, especially when you have these amazing updates. Thank you.
You guys always make me feel so special and celebrated
and I appreciate you know having me on and reaching
out is so nice, So thank you. Well, the truth

(32:58):
is you are special, you are celebrated and frome ever
to hear wish the best. This is gonna be. Thank you,
Thank you so much, guys. Um I'll keep you posted
on what please do? Cool bye. Always great having Sarah
Hearing on the podcast, somebody that we celebrate, a fan favorite.
It's always great for her to give up some of

(33:20):
her time, especially she has a lot going on in
this in this season of life to talk to us.
But now, uh, as we mentioned last week on the
headlines about all the people getting engaged, it's time for
Bachelor headlines here. Ashley is our resident expert. Let's start here.
Jojo Fletcher reveals Tasha Adams texted her for Bachelor hosting

(33:41):
tips ahead of Katie season is according to us, So
there's actually two headlines in here. First, Jojo reveals that
she was not offered the gig of being one of
the hosts this year. She said that she was deep
into filming her news show The Big d in Costa Rica,
so that timing probably wouldn't have panned out anyway. Um,

(34:04):
but Tasha reached out to Joe Joe, who, if you
guys remember, did some hosting when Chris Harrison brought his
son to college during her season. So she said, hey,
can I pick your brain? She said, it's weird taking
over the host role on a show like that. She said,
Chris Harrison is amazing at his job, so it's a

(34:24):
lot of pressure and I'm excited for them. As in
Taitia and Caitlin. She said that she's never spoken to
Katie before, and she said she's sad about that. She
says as newcomers come into the franchise, she keeps feeling
further and further behind and not being able to connect
with them as easy. But she said that she's excited

(34:44):
her for her season because although she didn't really watch
Matt season dedicatedly, I don't know if as a ward
dedicatedly um, she said that she did see the episode
where Katie really stood out and she thinks she's going
to be a really good bachelor at Yeah, it's uh
And if I remember right, I mean Jojo was on

(35:05):
Matt season, but it was never shown, right, that's right
because Tasia and Jojo both did a date and it
was cut, which was crazy, so wild. Uh. Next headline
is this is a big one for the Bachelor franchise. Uh.
You know, there's a lot of changes going on in
the whole Bachelor world. And you know, if you don't

(35:27):
know this, the Bachelor is global, so a lot of
different countries do have their own specific show, well, The
Bachelor Australia cast first openly bisexual lead to meet male
and female suitors. This according to E her name is
Brooke Blurton and she was on Nick Cummins season of

(35:47):
The Bachelor in two thousand eighteen in the Australia version,
and then she was on their version of Bachelor in Paradise.
I wonder the same says the following year. I don't
think that was the year that Jared was on a
Bachelor in Paradise Australia. May have been the year afterward,
But I'm gonna have to ask if he knows who
Brooke is. So they are going to be casting girls

(36:08):
and guys for her season, which of course brings up
a whole bunch of questions like will girls and guys
get together behind the scenes or like, actually, maybe not
so much behind the scenes as it is part of
the show. Will girls be getting with girls? Will guys
beginning with guys? Will everybody there be bisexual? Will people

(36:28):
be will certain people be straight? It's there's it's like
it could be like a whole other spinoff about what's
going on inside the house. If you you know, what
do you what do you think, don't you think that
it's going to create a lot more. I mean, I
think it's great, but I also think it's going to
create so much drama they're gonna need multiple episodes a

(36:49):
week to keep up. Yeah, it's gonna be really interesting
how they navigate it. Um, it's going to you know,
there's definitely gonna be storylines in the house, Like I
think that's justbvious, Like there's I mean, you know, even
if everybody goes in saying, hey, you know we're here
uh today, Brooke, Yeah, then you know, over time, like

(37:09):
connections will be made. You're spending all the time together,
so you know, the question then is like how are
the housing people all that that we don't know? But
there's it's definitely gonna be uh intriguing to watch because
it's something that we've never seen this format talking the Bachelor, Bachelor,
we've never seen this format try this or we've never
seen this happening. Uh, you know, will be really interesting

(37:31):
to me, Ashley because obviously this is happening in Australia first. Uh.
In the US is still the main franchise, it's the
most watched, there's the most money going into it. It's
where it started. Will the US follow at some point
the lead of Australia and then yeah, how does that work?

(37:52):
My thought is, yes, I know that ABC and Hulu
are kind of merging, like joining forces together, and I think,
you know what, we've had that hot topic about Rob
Mills and we have the spin off with the older
people being on The Bachelor Bachelorette, and if they do
expand the franchise onto Hulu, I think this would be

(38:13):
one of the first ones there. And let's just shut
out our friend Lance Bass is the perfect host for
a show like that. No, he's yeah, he's he's great. Um,
it's gonna be interesting, So tune in. I don't know
if you can. I'm sure like on Hula or something,
you can tune into the Australian Brook Bachelor. I think
you can watch it on Hulu. They might be like
quite delayed. I don't know if you can watch it
in live time, like you know, week to week, but

(38:35):
they definitely upload the whole season up there. Because you
can watch Bachelor in Paradise, Australia on Hulu, I believe. Okay, well, uh,
next headline is the Bachelor, Shan Low says, there were
growing pains early in his marriage with Katherine Lowe. This
according to people. Yeah, he I don't think that this
is like the first time they've said anything like this,

(38:57):
but he said, in the beginning of our marriage, we
had a lot of growing pains, which for those nearly
what's out there who are listening and maybe it's a
little rocky for you, that's normal. That's what we've come
to find out. There was a bit of pressure because
we did a lot of public appearances and they did
the show, um, you know, marriage boot Camp, and he said,
with things like that, you know, you get to put

(39:18):
on a brave face even though maybe thirty minutes prior
you got into an ugly spot at home. We've grown
and Catherine has tried so hard to be the best
wife possible. She's an incredible mother and hopefully I've grown
up a little bit too. Um. That has helped us,
um improve the marriage over time. And also it was

(39:39):
helpful for them was learning each other's love languages. Sean
also said that the key to forging a successful marriage
is being someone being with somebody who is your best friend.
You know, they have been open about it, right, I
mean the marriage boot camp stuff was really hard on
them obviously his time on Things star as. Like you said,
I mean, they they've been very open about their struggles

(40:00):
and there, uh their relationship, and it's helpful. I think
for many it's probably why so many people still gravitate
towards them. Um, you know, I mean, I know Katherine
Lowe is temporarily at least filling in an intramural for
Rachel lindsay On on the Bachelor podcast. So, like you know,
the lows are still very much a part of the

(40:20):
franchise and uh, and a lot of people lean on
them for advice. Well, uh, this week I did see
this person commented on Shan Low's photo. Shan Loo was
preaching at a church this Sunday, and Matt James commented
on it. Well, we have some headlines for Matt James.
We've kind of followed this story every week and we're
getting more and more information as the weeks go on.

(40:41):
But Bachelor's Matt James and Rachel cuddle up during trip
to Miami. You guys, they're going strong. They had a
p D a packed week at week weekend together spotted
last Monday, make seven teenth. Um, his arm was around

(41:03):
Rachel as they strolled on the beach, and they were
also spotted hugging, um, you know, on the beach, and
an eyewitness said that they were on a cozy date
together at David Grutman's Komodo restaurant in Miami. They said
that they both sat on the same side of the
booth and they were very close to each other. Their

(41:25):
affection was on display, they weren't hiding it. So it
seems like they have hung out multiple times since well,
I mean that New York trip which apparently they split
up again, but then they rekindled in l A. It
seems like every week there's a new Rachel and Matt sighting.
But I mean, if I for one, I'm really happy

(41:47):
to see to see it. Yeah, it seems like they're
making it work, or at least trying to, which is
I mean, which is exciting for you know, for a
lot of bat foundation, but it also is a little
bit frustrating for me, you know why I get it.
I mean, I don't know if we had the same reasoning,
but go ahead. Well, it's just like, you know, Matt
got so much criticism for how the season ended, and

(42:09):
it felt like then there was so much left unset, right,
I mean there after the Final Rose was an important
episode and we all kind of left going wasn't like
there's so much that's still confusing, like what happened? Like
what what really went wrong? Like is do they dislike
each other like fully or they still have feelings for
each other? And then it just kind of ended and

(42:31):
it felt like now we're seeing that, yes, there was
still feelings for each other, like they did want to
make it work. Um Matt was interested in finding a partner,
which he got criticized for not wanting to find a partner,
but it just wasn't good timing then and there was
so much happening then it's like, well, uh, you know,
it's not none of our business, right, but it's like, man,
I kind of want to know what's going on like this,

(42:53):
Let's celebrate them a bit, and I hope they feel
celebrated for at least you know, try it, Ben, I
get it. I mean to me, thinking back on after
the Final Rows, which is still so recent, you know,
two months in some weeks, it feels like he threw
under the bus a little bit to me because it
was just seemed like the way he behaved toward her,

(43:15):
was that he was so disinterested in spending any more
time with her, and then fast forward for weeks and
all of a sudden he wants to get back with her.
It just seems like he was hiding some feelings there
and he was doing something for the cameras that he
doesn't really feeling inside. Maybe maybe he just needed some
time away to right. And I mean sometimes the cameras

(43:37):
like it's like a vacuum and it's so much deaf
spinning around that you're like, Okay, let's take a break.
Let's take a step away from the cameras. Let's relike
think through this. Let's maybe talk without cameras in our face,
and you know, you know, just chat about what's going on.
But I mean, yeah, I mean, he got so much
criticism for not wanting to find a partner, and then

(43:57):
we're like, well, wait, no, he kind of did from
the show, we just didn't get to see it. Well,
speaking of partners from the show, this is a story
I'm very interested in because these two people are close
friends of mine and I've already mentioned on this podcast
that I think it would be the best in their
of paradise if these two people showed up, were there
for like an episode, and left together. Because I just

(44:19):
get this sense that something is happening and I don't
know what. But Bachelor alum Becka Koufern and Blake Hurtzman's
flirty friendship. I know it's gonna say that they're just friends,
but I feel like that can't be possible. They liked
each other too much to just now be friends. Ben,
you might be able to get more insight than this
source does, because this source is just saying that they're

(44:44):
both single. They aren't dating one another. They just like
flirting with each other and it doesn't mean they're dating.
They run, They run in similar crowds, and they run
into each other from time or two. Every time or two.
They were even spotted on Kenda Long's Instagram last week
or last month and Becca was jokingly giving Blake a rose.

(45:08):
Come on, you know more? You even have Bilake at
the Bachelor party. Does I know that there's no way exclusive?
Or did I get that they're not exclusive? But like,
have they kissed? That's my question? Have they show? You
gotta ask, I will ask. Guys don't ask their guy
friends stuff like this, And you know you know if

(45:30):
we had Blake on, which we did very recently, I
would straight up ask him this and make everybody uncomfortable,
and he'd probably say no, But then i'd over analyze
his facial expression or he'd laugh, and we'd know the
truth was yes. Well, here's what I do know, and
keeping you know, the respect of the friendships. I don't

(45:52):
know if they've kissed. I don't even I mean, like
I see Blake and like talk to Becca and they'll
be like, oh, yeah, I hung out Blake. I don't
want to dig, because I do want to they're they're
friends of mine. All I know is this um that
I belime. I don't know this. I guess I'm assuming
is given the right circumstance. Knowing how much Blake liked

(46:15):
Becca on that season, like literally was like this could
be my wife, and knowing how Becca felt about Blake
and the interest there and the things left unsaid and undone,
given the right circumstance, I believe they would at least
give it a shot. And I think, like dating again,
I think there's just like there's tension there. There's just

(46:36):
no way they can just go back to being friendly.
Like they're both single, they're obviously they Okay, the sources,
they run in the same circles. Well, they're both on
the franchise and like they but like you know, there's
a lot of people from the franchise that live in
Denver that I never see, Like you have to make
an effort to see them, and so I don't know.
I mean, I feel like Paradise is the spot, and

(46:58):
I feel like even if they're trying to fight it personally,
if they're like, hey, this is too much, we can't
do this, whatever, I believe that the show works so
hard to get him on Paradise. They walked to the beach,
both single. You tell me there's not a spark, and
they don't go, let's give it a shot. I'm calling
it right now. I think it happens. I think it's beautiful.
I think it changes their worlds. I think they at

(47:21):
least can date after that. I don't know. Then I
have more to say. Okay, you keep bringing up Paradise,
and I really have a hard time believing that Becca
would do Paradise after becoming a lead. We saw that.
Who was that? Who did that? I don't think anybody's
ever been the lead. Thing you were the lead, and

(47:41):
you went on epic emotional failure, and then Blake has
such an issue with like the way Paradise last time
went down for him, that I don't think he'd ever
be willing to go back again. So how do you
see this happening in paradise? Do you think that Blake
actually would because you know him pretty well and I

(48:03):
know you must have talked to me about this, well,
I think they would. I don't think they want to.
I don't think it would be something that they like
desire to do. But I think you mean, well, because
here's here's how it plays out. I think I would
tell anybody like, yes, I want to win our games,
and yes, it was really hard for me. I can't

(48:24):
say it was a wrong decision. I think there's so
many things about it that I enjoyed, you know, beginning
to spend that much time with you, getting to hang
out with Dean the whole time, getting me yuki, like
those things are memories that I'll take forever um and
and help me get through a lot and confront a lot.
And so I think Becca should, I mean, if if
she wants to do it, I don't think there's any

(48:44):
problem with the league going back on a show like Paradise,
especially when they're single. Uh, and you know they're trying
to meet somebody for Blake, I mean quite frankly, even
in front of mine, it can't get any worse, like right,
and he survived it, like you know, he's doing his
DJ thing now. Like even as for as much hate
as he received and for as much hate as he felt,

(49:06):
he's doing fine. Like he's he's right back in the world.
So it's like, what, I'm gonna go back on this thing,
and they're gonna hate on me more? No, I know
how this plays out. Give us some time, people you know,
forgive and forget, or they just say, hey, it was
you know whatever, and they move on I and and
it just it just might be And and this is
what I'll say as a friend, it just might be

(49:27):
the push they need to like try this thing, because
I think they would both be hesitant without having that
intentional environment to enter into anything. And so it just
might be the push in the environment they need to say,
can we just try this? Like where we at? Are

(49:47):
we actually interesting each other? Or are we really just friends?
Which I just can't believe. I don't believe it would
live for it to watch it on TV and just
to go off of what you're saying about, like just friends,
how do you even do that? How do you get
that close to engagement end up going with somebody else

(50:08):
having not fully explored what could have been with this
other person, then you just decide not to do it
once you're broken up with the other guy. Mmmm. Actually
you're on the same page, and I think fans are
also well. Big headline this week all over the place.
Chicks in the Office had an incredible, incredible podcast that
they pulled a lot at of Kelly flann again, which

(50:29):
I'm starting to feel like she's a great interview because
I don't think she holds back. We should probably get
her on this podcast. Um, she's never really held back
even with us, and but she let it all out
there during Chicks in the Office. She shared away Kelly
Flannagan told bachelor Peter Weber to get the hell out
of my life after breakup, and there's a lot to

(50:49):
that statement. Ashley, what is going on? Juicy? Juicy? I
was actually listening to this podcast before we started recording
our podcast. I didn't get to the get the hell
out of my life or lose my Number part. But
she does confirm that they broke up in December when
they announced it like on the thirty one of the month,

(51:10):
and then they reunited briefly once they reconnected at the
super Bowl, and because they were on fine terms, even
though she said she was really annoyed at the fact
that that he announced on New Year's Eve that they
broke up, even though she wanted to wait a couple
of days and kind of like tell family and friends
and even the Bachelor producers told them to wait a

(51:32):
couple of days, but he went ahead and did it,
so that was annoying to her. But then when they
saw each other at the Super Bowl, they reunited in February,
only for it the last like another month or two
for it to end really badly this time, and when
you see really badly clarified because she does talk about this,

(51:52):
she doesn't. She doesn't. It's like kind of implied that
she found out that there were other girl roles that
she was that he was talking to. They even had
each other still on Find My Friends. I don't know
if you guys are all familiar with it, but it's
the app on the iPhone where you can track your people.
I checked Jared, he tracks me, but more like for
safety reasons, like I like to know when he gets

(52:14):
somewhere after he's driven for a long time, or like
is he that he's not answering his phone? Like where
is it? You know all that that I can't do that.
You don't do that. No, Jess would always see me
at the golf course and I'd be like ashamed, No,
I can't do that. Ben. This happens on a regular
basis in our family as well. I'll wake up at
nine and I'll be like where is he? Buy net?

(52:36):
Like what where is he? And then I always look
if I'm my friends and he's on the golf course.
Um okay. So she doesn't really say anything about like
their specifically being one girl but or or a girl,
or like any sort of cheating situation, but she said
she heard that like he's been hooking up a lot lately.

(52:58):
Like she said that she'll go to her friends in
Nashville and then they'll be like, oh, yeah, my friend
hooked up with Peter last week. And then she said
that sometimes Peter will check in on her, but like
her mentality is just don't respond, like she just hasn't responded,
hasn't talked to him since they ended badly, where again
she said to get the hell of my life and
lose my number, which, when you put all that together,

(53:21):
just sounds like that's not that. That sounds like an
argument where you found something out bad about the other person, right, Yes,
it does. I mean this was this was an episode
of the and we got to give chicks in the
office credit. I mean, they did a great job here.
Um and uh, but it was an episode you're listening
to and you I've talked about it here. You know,

(53:42):
when you get like cringe worthy, cringe worthy, like you
feel like you're hearing stuff that you shouldn't be hearing
and that you're involved in a conversation. This is what
I felt like. Almost the whole time. I was like, oh,
this is tough. I I don't I want to hear it,
but I can't. I can't stop listening, but I don't
want to hear this. Uh big podcast. A lot of
things said, um, and I mean, it definitely doesn't sound
like Kelly and Peter on good terms. I think we

(54:04):
can assume that she says this, Okay, this is what
happened She said that he texted her, she didn't respond
and then found out some news I wasn't happy with.
I found out news that I wasn't happy with. We
still had each other on my on Find my Friends.
We were closing it out. It was ending, but not

(54:25):
necessarily done. So that's that's the illusion for y'all. A
lot going on here, Well, final headline of today, and
again there has been a lot and there always is.
We'll end on a brighter note here. Bachelor's Hayley Ferguson
has the same bridal party as twin sister Emily, and shocking,

(54:46):
they will combine their bachelorette parties. This according to us.
I mean not much to say beyond that, but how
convenient You've got some money saving tactics going there. You
have the same bridal party, So that means that they
are going to have the same bachelorette parties and the
same bridal shower. They're all going to be combined. They

(55:07):
will not have the same weddings. They do say that
they both have really different wedding styles, so it'll be
nice to add their own touches to those things. But
they are so excited to be engaged in planning weddings
at the same time. So awesome. I bet that's gonna
be a blasts. It's fun to celebrate those two well, Ashley. Uh,
final segment of this podcast, as we talked about it

(55:30):
is our four year anniversary coming up and we have
a big giveaway, massive giveaway for all of you out there.
This is a giveaway that is free and we're gonna

we get started with Jessica, should we go through how

(56:56):
let's bring Jesson. Yeah, hey Jessica, I got Jessica. You've
been working in the fashion and jewelry industry for twenty
years now, is that right? Yes? That is wow? Okay,
so how did you design these almost famous four year
anniversary rings? Like? Are you a fan of The Bachelor
and Bachelorette? Did you bring inspiration from the show into

(57:19):
the design? So yes, I'm a Bachelor and Bachelorette fan
and mostly Paradise fan. So I'm hoping that that's back
this year. Back good. I can't wait. It's my guilty pleasure.
But yeah, I you know, I've been watching the show
for so many years, and it's interesting the transition of

(57:40):
the girl's jewelry as time's gone on, and now you
start to see that everybody's really fashioned forward and making statements.
And so when they asked me if I'd be interested
in doing something like this, I wanted to do something
that I would wear that I think is great and
funky and cool. And then somebody would say, hey, where'd
you get your ring? So with this ring, it is

(58:01):
really cool? Have you designed for anyone who's been in bachelination?
Has bachelination at all? Warner stuff before before? Now you
guys are the first. Hey, that's unexciting. That's very awesome.
Thank you so much for doing this. Who would you
if you had to jewel? You know, how do you

(58:24):
say that Frost themselves for Paradise? Which contestant would you
most want to see your stuff on? Oh? There's a
lot of you I really liked, so that would not
be fair if I didn't say you. But no, it's okay,
don't say me, because I'm not going to be on
Paradise many there's so many of you guys that I

(58:45):
that I just adore watching I would say Caitlin because
she's a little on the badass side. Yes, I would
be kind of it would be kind of cool to
do something like that for her. I do something more
like black diamonds or something a little more edgy. But

(59:06):
I don't know. I think there's a lot of a
lot of girls in your in your group that just
would be an honor to get to do something with them. Well,
speaking of rings, rings in Caitlin Burstow, what do you
feel about like her engagement rings? Yeah? Well, you know
what's interesting? So I have done engagement rings for clients,
and that's the new thing, and that has not been

(59:28):
the new thing for a long time. That other people
are asking for different settings a little more traditional, the
double halo, the cushion cut, there's all those different things
that I've always been requested. And ever since Instagram has
taken off and all these bachelorettes are posting their new rings,
like Joe, Joe and Caitlin, it's a it's a totally

(59:52):
different style than I'm used to seeing. I mean, it's
a Chile that's come back. Isn't that crazy how the
trends change every few years. Because my wedding band I
feel like my what my band and my engagement ring
was the it looking one three years ago and now
it's all that small, tiny band, big stone look. Yeah yeah,

(01:00:14):
but see that stuff, and I think all of it's great.
But for me, I'm a girl with crazy long, curly
hair that would be caught in my hair every day.
So something that you want to wear and can be convenient,
so for me that would never work. But do you
see in your profession, like when the Joe Joe's and

(01:00:35):
the Caitlin's of the world post their rings, Like, can
you feel the change in your place of work? Did
people ever come in saying, hey, this is what I saw,
this is what I want to wear, or like, are
they trend setters? You know? I mean they aren't, except
for my clientele is a little bit older, so where
more of mid to late thirties to fifties, So it's

(01:01:00):
they're not really taking the trend from these influencers as
much for spending this kind of money. However, I have
in the most recent few months been asked if I
can do something and then they'll show me a picture
of one of those rings. So I guess it's slowly happening.

(01:01:21):
That's a lot of power. That's a big deal. Um.
So when it comes to this almost famous ring, what
what's what are you most excited about? Well, I mean
I think that anything that brings business to me and
I can get my name out there and my company

(01:01:41):
out there more is you know, obviously the key to it.
But then to be able to do something for personalities
that you already feel like you know a little bit,
it's kind of exciting, and you know, you get a
little bit of bread rights for everybody who does not
win these four rings, they can get your jewelry at

(01:02:04):
Love around the Neck dot com anything else you want
to add. So just I'm not online, and the reason
why I'm not online is because I do wholesale pricing.
So it's really through my Instagram, which is Love around
the Neck. But I don't have my presidents because I
give wholesale pricing and it creates issues with stores and designers.

(01:02:27):
So I'm basically through Instagram and then they DM me
and then we go from there. Gotcha all right? Well,
thank you so much for doing what you're doing for us,
and we hope that you enjoyed Paradise this season. I
can't wait. Thank you pleasure, Thank you. I thank care

(01:02:49):

your anniversary with the help of again It's love around
the Neck on Instagram. Uh. Just uh, it's exciting for
us actually, as we enter into four years, as we
close out this podcast today, what does it feel like
for you? Um? I mean we talked about it last week,

(01:03:09):
just how thankful we are. But how how does the
idea that you've been doing this, talking and people about
there have been listening and growing with us for four years?
How does that feel? I can't really even like wrap
my head around it because three years sounds like, oh yeah,
three years, right, But four years is like, wow, that's
a chapter of your work life. I just can't believe

(01:03:32):
how much time flies. I think about that every day,
Like every single day. I'm like, where did the time go?

to this podcast, and we are we are always looking
for your feedback to if you think we can be better,

our voices, our opinions on the show. It's just really
