Speaker 2 (00:26):
Podcast Oh podcast podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
And now we're here to continue our conversation about our
holiday favorite moment in part two.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
Yeah, let's do it all.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Right, So I think where we would love to start,
considering you know, the Bachelor franchise is known for being
one of the most dramatic shows on television. Do you,
guys have a most dramatic moment or gift that you
can remember from the holidays?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Ben, let's kick it off with you.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (00:53):
I think I'm usually the cause of the drama, and
it's mostly I have this distinct memory in my mind
when I had just turned twenty one. So when I
turned twenty one, it was a big deal for everybody involved, right,
mostly myself. Nobody else cared that you were legal. Yeah, I
was legal, and so you start to consume as much
as you can. So I remember a holiday, this would
(01:18):
be fourteen years ago now, and we had a great
snow in Indiana, about three foot of snow, beautiful white powder,
and we finish our dinner, and I remember it being
a great idea, like one that everybody would not only enjoy,
but what I would enjoy is to get down to
my underwear, to run out into the yard and do snow.
Speaker 7 (01:37):
Angels douring menopause.
Speaker 8 (01:40):
I could do that.
Speaker 6 (01:42):
During menopause. It sounds fantastic. I'm sweating. It's sixty two
degrees inside and I'm sweating. But I remember doing snow
angels in the middle of my grandparents yard all by myself,
and finally at some point coming to my senses and
looking up and being like nobody else is feeling this.
Speaker 8 (01:59):
Why am I the Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Why am I the only one that seemed to have
a good time?
Speaker 5 (02:03):
Okay, I can't even do I can't even Mine is
not humorous at all. Mine, although that is a great story,
ben Mine is my parents were divorced, and my dad
when he married my stepmother, they didn't have she didn't
have a diamond engagement ring when they got married. And
(02:26):
a few years after they got married, we're sitting around
opening gifts, and our family tradition was each person opened
a gift, and my dad went and made this big
thing of going under the tree and getting the box
and giving it to my stepmom and in it was
the most exquisite emerald cut diamond ring. And I remember
(02:50):
when she opened it. It was so unexpected, all of us,
there were seven kids between the two marriages, and we
all just sat there. We had no words because we
knew what it meant. When my dad married her, I
was six and when she got this ring, I was thirteen.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
I believe remember it.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
Oh, I remember it like yesterday. I can describe the
ring as if it was given to me. It was
the most beautiful moment and an example of true love
and I will never forget it.
Speaker 8 (03:24):
That's an emotion that.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
Was.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
That was That was a lot different than.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Yeah, very different.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
My dad was not naked. It was a beautifully wrap gift.
But you know what was all it was. It was
all Christmas. It was all Christmas. And you know what,
my my dad and mom stepmom had a great marriage
until he passed away, and it was just a beautiful
moment it was a Christmas I will never forget.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
The point is there's no right or wrong way to
do the holidays.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Well wait a minute, if it'd given her the ring
and he'd been naked out of.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
You should ask her, yeah.
Speaker 7 (04:06):
Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
I don't want to know that.
Speaker 7 (04:08):
I don't want to know that.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
A different kind of Christmas story, Susan.
Speaker 9 (04:16):
Okay, I have two different ones. Actually, I torture my
children all their lives. I would put clues and they'd
open box after box inside a box inside a box,
and then tell them to go down in the dryer.
But the best I'm famous for this my poor father.
He he would always I would always lose his Christmas present, Like, Dad, I.
Speaker 8 (04:39):
Bought you a gold chain. It cost me a fortune.
It's nowhere to be found.
Speaker 9 (04:43):
And a year later, when I get out all the
Christmas paper, there.
Speaker 10 (04:46):
It was.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Purpose like, this is no, it really happens.
Speaker 8 (04:51):
I've done it several times and everybody's like, not again.
Speaker 9 (04:54):
It was like that I promised one year, I bought Yeah,
the following year, and then I start looking where I was.
Speaker 7 (05:02):
I've done it a couple of times.
Speaker 9 (05:03):
One time I think I just threw it away.
Speaker 8 (05:09):
I did. The next year, I bought him a new
gold chain.
Speaker 9 (05:13):
His birthday is the day after Christmas, so we get
two gifts, and I wait till the next day to
give him the birthday gift. And the following year I
went out and bought a brand new chain and found it,
found the original one.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
So, and your father is still with us today. Now
he's not.
Speaker 8 (05:29):
He's looking down smiling right now.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
I remember you know what he's looking down. He's overlaid.
He's drowning in gold chains. That's what he's doing.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
So when the final holiday he spent with you, did
you forget his gift?
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Nore we go. That's all that matters. You got him
a gift. That's beautiful, all right.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
I love that I follow Susan because are somewhat similar.
Speaker 8 (05:55):
We're so much a leg.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I will say for for me, we drink on the holidays,
especially Christmas Eve and my family were a gambling family.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
So we usually play.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
We usually start out playing cards, and it's very light
and on and friendly, and we play a game called
in Between the Sheets, and before you know it, it
starts out. It literally starts out as like a dollar
two dollars game, and by the end of the night.
Someone has lost three thousand.
Speaker 7 (06:33):
Dollars, somebody never went over a couple of hundred.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
Somebody's lost their sheets, their pillow cases, the quilt.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
I can't it just it just turns into just total chaos.
Somebody leaves really pissed off, someone's happy, and then you know.
Speaker 9 (06:53):
Out come the lemon. And then they played poker and
I never knew how to play. My dad make up
names of games like what is that mean?
Speaker 4 (07:02):
One eyed jacks? Are wild?
Speaker 8 (07:04):
Like deucees or wild? What do you mean?
Speaker 9 (07:06):
I couldn't play a lick, but I just kept putting
the money in there just to be with the whole party.
Speaker 7 (07:11):
Yeah, it was fun.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
And you think, you think you're going home at ten PM,
and you don't go home till two fifty, and yeah,
you're hung over the next day and that's the holidays, but.
Speaker 8 (07:20):
You know, and you could stay in your joey.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
I can't say I can't experience that one this year. Maybe, yeah,
this year I'll be hungover and down a lot of money.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Can't my mos dramatical story, Yeah, the only one I
can remember was maybe five years ago. I want to
say this was like two years before I went on
the bagelor or maybe a few more, but I was
I'd lived in Hilton Head for a few months and
I was going through this thing where I was breaking
out in hives every night for like no reason, just
(07:53):
like on my neck or on my arms.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
They don't really know what it was. We never really
figured it out.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
They think it was like it maybe anxiety or something
was triggering it. And I remember on Christmas, We're sitting
at the dinner table and I'm eating and I start
like feeling it and I broke out and head to
toe like full body hives. And it was the first
Christmas I was spending with a boyfriend and I was
seeing him after and I remember being liked.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Me, I'm literally hideous. This is so terrible.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
I'm downing Benadryl's in the kitchen at my aunt's house
and these unexpected guests, like friends of my aunts who
were Russian, and they brought their mom, who was Russian,
and she told me to cut a lemonon half and
cover my face and my body leon And I was
so desperate, I was like, I'll do anything. So I'm
(08:45):
I'm taking benadrolas I'm lobb. I've walked it out. I
actually forgotten about this story until this question came out.
I covered my whole body head to toe in this lemon.
I'm like soaked in lemon juice. I'm like on the
verge of tears. And honestly, it worked a miracle, like
this woman saved, so like Russian remedies, they know what's up.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
I do have one thing to add to this though.
Speaker 6 (09:17):
Yeah, and as Joe was talking, it reminded me of
a story I never I hadn't thought of. You know,
my wife I messaged on Thanksgiving evening because I drank
at Thanksgiving and was laying in my bed at my
aunt's house because I was getting ready to fly out
the next day. In her house is really close to
the airport, and I was scrolling my phone and I
found the picture I screenshotted of her profile. And I
(09:41):
had the confidence that night to send her a message
and say, if you're Singler and you're ever in Denver,
please let me know. And if you're not, just for
like take it as a compliment. So the holidays are
big for me too. That might be the most dramatic
story I've ever had, because I got married from that night.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
We never stopped talking.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
I've heard heard this story. Wait, and I've heard this
story before. When did you sent her that message?
Speaker 6 (10:06):
The third Thursday in November in two thousand and eighteen.
Speaker 7 (10:12):
That's a Thanksgiving about that.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
If you weren't in the holiday mindset, you probably were
feeling pretty good. You had a few drinks.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Yeah, life was looking up and.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Wow, yeah I were married the child. I drank a
bunch of Kim Crawford wine this Thanksgiving and.
Speaker 8 (10:34):
Man drinking.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
We're going to drink Kim Crawford and go to town
this in about one week.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
There you go, all right, I think we had time
for one more question. I want to hear about everyone's
favorite or most memorable holiday gift.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
Oh mine is my first dog. Percent.
Speaker 6 (10:56):
I still remember when I got my very first dog
when I was a little kid. She was I'm an
only child, so she was like my rider die all
through like college. Like she she passed away and as
a sophomore in college, but she was my rider Die.
I remember when she showed up. I just remember playing
with her in the yard with her little collar and
being like I got my friend. That was my my
(11:17):
favorite gift ever.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
What was her name?
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Zoe?
Speaker 3 (11:21):
So do you think that you will want your kid
to grow up with a pet?
Speaker 8 (11:26):
Then yes, yes, what we're mine.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Yeah, I already got a dog. You guys are good. Yeah,
we're done.
Speaker 7 (11:33):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
I don't like following you, Ben, because my stories are
like about my kids. So my best holiday gift was
not for me. It was for my children. I have
three kids, and my husband and I decided to surprise
my children with a trip to Disney World. And we
(11:56):
had the tickets printed out airline tickets and it was
the flight, and we had the tickets printed out for Disneyland.
And when they almost cry when they opened the card
and said you're going to disney World. They all started
jumping up and down, going really really, we're going, We're going.
Speaker 7 (12:14):
It was on again.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
I'll never forget it. The thrill of seeing their excitement
about going to Disney World was.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
Was the best.
Speaker 7 (12:24):
It's the best.
Speaker 9 (12:26):
I used to do that sometimes and then I hold
back from giving it to them because they would haunt you.
Speaker 8 (12:33):
How many days? How many days we do it?
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Just a few days, you like, guess my kids when
week up to where we're going to the airport and.
Speaker 8 (12:43):
Get there?
Speaker 4 (12:44):
Okay, remind me right now, though, How big are your families?
Speaker 5 (12:47):
I have three children, okay, I have two boys and
a girl. My oldest son turned forty three yesterday. I
have a thirty nine year old son, and I have
a thirty seven year old daughter. And I have two granddaughters,
five year old and a sixteen month old.
Speaker 9 (13:02):
Okay, my daughter's thirty eight. I have twin boys. The
day I go home Wednesday, they'll.
Speaker 8 (13:09):
Be thirty six. I can't believe it.
Speaker 9 (13:12):
And six grandchildren and six grandchildren, five are with us,
ones in heaven. But yeah, amazing your favorite grandchild, I
would never tell.
Speaker 10 (13:24):
That's what I have to give you A favorite child,
A twelve year old.
Speaker 9 (13:27):
At thirteen years We have one of those, two and
a fourteen year old.
Speaker 8 (13:31):
But I have two three year olds.
Speaker 10 (13:33):
That's tough one of myself. I'm going to be honest.
I have three kids. I love them all for different reasons.
I have favorite ones. Depending on the question you asked.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Me, Susan, do you have a favorite gift?
Speaker 9 (13:52):
I give the favorite gifts. I don't receive a favorite gift.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
What have you given that?
Speaker 1 (13:59):
What have you given that you feel like that was
a special moment?
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (14:04):
Trip to Europe one one time it was Greece and
another time it was Paris. But like my gifts have
a card with the Eiffel Tower. These are the dates.
This is how you packed. But they didn't know where
they were going, you know. One was a boyfriend, one
was my husband. So yeah, it's kind of cool because,
(14:25):
like I said, I give clues and Dicky didn't get
it until the limo pulled up. Back then there were Franks.
We didn't even have the euro and he was like.

About when I think about Christmas was when I was
like maybe eight seven or eight years old, and all
I wanted was a two step dollhouse, which is like
a two floor big dollhouse.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
And I remember waking up.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
I still remember, like it's a core memory, waking up
and walking into my family room and my dad had
built it so it was standing there, fully built when
I walked in, and it was pink and purple, and
I just remember being like, this is the height of luxury,
Like this is the coolest thing ever.

and on and friendly, and we play a game called
in Between the Sheets, and before you know it, it
starts out. It literally starts out as like a dollar
two dollars game, and by the end of the night.
Someone has lost three thousand.
Speaker 7 (06:33):
Dollars, somebody never went over a couple of hundred.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
Somebody's lost their sheets, their pillow cases, the quilt.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
I can't it just it just turns into just total chaos.
Somebody leaves really pissed off, someone's happy, and then you know.
Speaker 9 (06:53):
Out come the lemon. And then they played poker and
I never knew how to play. My dad make up
names of games like what is that mean?
Speaker 4 (07:02):
One eyed jacks? Are wild?
Speaker 8 (07:04):
Like deucees or wild? What do you mean?
Speaker 9 (07:06):
I couldn't play a lick, but I just kept putting
the money in there just to be with the whole party.
Speaker 7 (07:11):
Yeah, it was fun.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
And you think, you think you're going home at ten PM,
and you don't go home till two fifty, and yeah,
you're hung over the next day and that's the holidays, but.
Speaker 8 (07:20):
You know, and you could stay in your joey.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
I can't say I can't experience that one this year. Maybe, yeah,
this year I'll be hungover and down a lot of money.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Can't my mos dramatical story, Yeah, the only one I
can remember was maybe five years ago. I want to
say this was like two years before I went on
the bagelor or maybe a few more, but I was
I'd lived in Hilton Head for a few months and
I was going through this thing where I was breaking
out in hives every night for like no reason, just
(07:53):
like on my neck or on my arms.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
They don't really know what it was. We never really
figured it out.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
They think it was like it maybe anxiety or something
was triggering it. And I remember on Christmas, We're sitting
at the dinner table and I'm eating and I start
like feeling it and I broke out and head to
toe like full body hives. And it was the first
Christmas I was spending with a boyfriend and I was
seeing him after and I remember being liked.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Me, I'm literally hideous. This is so terrible.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
I'm downing Benadryl's in the kitchen at my aunt's house
and these unexpected guests, like friends of my aunts who
were Russian, and they brought their mom, who was Russian,
and she told me to cut a lemonon half and
cover my face and my body leon And I was
so desperate, I was like, I'll do anything. So I'm
(08:45):
I'm taking benadrolas I'm lobb. I've walked it out. I
actually forgotten about this story until this question came out.
I covered my whole body head to toe in this lemon.
I'm like soaked in lemon juice. I'm like on the
verge of tears. And honestly, it worked a miracle, like
this woman saved, so like Russian remedies, they know what's up.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
I do have one thing to add to this though.
Speaker 6 (09:17):
Yeah, and as Joe was talking, it reminded me of
a story I never I hadn't thought of. You know,
my wife I messaged on Thanksgiving evening because I drank
at Thanksgiving and was laying in my bed at my
aunt's house because I was getting ready to fly out
the next day. In her house is really close to
the airport, and I was scrolling my phone and I
found the picture I screenshotted of her profile. And I
(09:41):
had the confidence that night to send her a message
and say, if you're Singler and you're ever in Denver,
please let me know. And if you're not, just for
like take it as a compliment. So the holidays are
big for me too. That might be the most dramatic
story I've ever had, because I got married from that night.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
We never stopped talking.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
I've heard heard this story. Wait, and I've heard this
story before. When did you sent her that message?
Speaker 6 (10:06):
The third Thursday in November in two thousand and eighteen.
Speaker 7 (10:12):
That's a Thanksgiving about that.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
If you weren't in the holiday mindset, you probably were
feeling pretty good. You had a few drinks.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Yeah, life was looking up and.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Wow, yeah I were married the child. I drank a
bunch of Kim Crawford wine this Thanksgiving and.
Speaker 8 (10:34):
Man drinking.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
We're going to drink Kim Crawford and go to town
this in about one week.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
There you go, all right, I think we had time
for one more question. I want to hear about everyone's
favorite or most memorable holiday gift.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
Oh mine is my first dog. Percent.
Speaker 6 (10:56):
I still remember when I got my very first dog
when I was a little kid. She was I'm an
only child, so she was like my rider die all
through like college. Like she she passed away and as
a sophomore in college, but she was my rider Die.
I remember when she showed up. I just remember playing
with her in the yard with her little collar and
being like I got my friend. That was my my
(11:17):
favorite gift ever.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
What was her name?
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Zoe?
Speaker 3 (11:21):
So do you think that you will want your kid
to grow up with a pet?
Speaker 8 (11:26):
Then yes, yes, what we're mine.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Yeah, I already got a dog. You guys are good. Yeah,
we're done.
Speaker 7 (11:33):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
I don't like following you, Ben, because my stories are
like about my kids. So my best holiday gift was
not for me. It was for my children. I have
three kids, and my husband and I decided to surprise
my children with a trip to Disney World. And we
(11:56):
had the tickets printed out airline tickets and it was
the flight, and we had the tickets printed out for Disneyland.
And when they almost cry when they opened the card
and said you're going to disney World. They all started
jumping up and down, going really really, we're going, We're going.
Speaker 7 (12:14):
It was on again.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
I'll never forget it. The thrill of seeing their excitement
about going to Disney World was.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
Was the best.
Speaker 7 (12:24):
It's the best.
Speaker 9 (12:26):
I used to do that sometimes and then I hold
back from giving it to them because they would haunt you.
Speaker 8 (12:33):
How many days? How many days we do it?
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Just a few days, you like, guess my kids when
week up to where we're going to the airport and.
Speaker 8 (12:43):
Get there?
Speaker 4 (12:44):
Okay, remind me right now, though, How big are your families?
Speaker 5 (12:47):
I have three children, okay, I have two boys and
a girl. My oldest son turned forty three yesterday. I
have a thirty nine year old son, and I have
a thirty seven year old daughter. And I have two granddaughters,
five year old and a sixteen month old.

A twelve year old.
Speaker 9 (13:27):
At thirteen years We have one of those, two and
a fourteen year old.
Speaker 8 (13:31):
But I have two three year olds.
Speaker 10 (13:33):
That's tough one of myself. I'm going to be honest.
I have three kids. I love them all for different reasons.
I have favorite ones. Depending on the question you asked.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Me, Susan, do you have a favorite gift?
Speaker 9 (13:52):
I give the favorite gifts. I don't receive a favorite gift.

a special moment?

Speaker 9 (14:04):
Trip to Europe one one time it was Greece and
another time it was Paris. But like my gifts have
a card with the Eiffel Tower. These are the dates.
This is how you packed. But they didn't know where
they were going, you know. One was a boyfriend, one
was my husband. So yeah, it's kind of cool because,

it until the limo pulled up. Back then there were Franks.

I wanted was a two step dollhouse, which is like
a two floor big dollhouse.
Speaker 2 (15:49):

and walking into my family room and my dad had
built it so it was standing there, fully built when
I walked in, and it was pink and purple, and
