I feel like it's been a minute. Last time we were in person. And this is not how I want to do it. But it's okay. I know after being with you in person, now this is just not going to cut it for me. You need to move to L.A.

I know. Or you can move to the East Coast. Even better, honestly. I'm like, don't we have some things we need to facilitate on the East Coast over here? Specifically, New York City. We absolutely do speaking of New York City and all things with you. Wedding planning. What's been going on? Catch me up. Wedding planning is in the works. We are currently talking or figuring out the logistics of our Bachelor. Bachelorette parties, which is going to be very exciting. So like that part I feel like is like I guess I'm just like a partier. Like I feel like I haven't been stressed in a wedding planning, which is like I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. But for those who don't know, I'm very much a type C person. So I'm like super fixated on details, but executing them, not my, not my forte. And I get very overwhelmed. So thanks to my planner, she's obviously handling all of that. but it's honestly been really good. Like, we are in, you know, the crunch, crunch hours.

But, I mean, we're just, like, kind of getting even more excited. It's kind of, like, hitting me. But then again, I'm like, wait, I'm actually getting married. It's, like, kind of weird. It's coming up. I know. You guys have, like, your finalized ideas for destination for The Bacheloret? Or you, like, still thinking.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Can you give us any hints, like, climate? It's somewhere that we filmed, before on The Bachelor. Okay. So I'm like, we've been many places. So near it down.

International, I'm hearing. Uh-huh. Perhaps. Perhaps. Perhaps. So I'm like, you little sleuthers, get out there and do your work. Oh, my gosh. So exciting.

What about dress? Any more details with the reception dress? I'm having a really hard time. I'm getting very angry. I'm just not falling in love with things. And it's making me like, I'm getting really worried because I don't have a lot of time. Luckily, I'm like, my alterations, if I have to do any, are very minimal. Like, I didn't even have to do many alterations on my wedding dress.

Like, the length and everything was, like, perfect. But I'm just not, yeah, I just want my reception dress to really be like, like, you know, I need it. Like, I need jaws on the ground for both. But, like, from a reception specifically, I'm. struggling to find one that like I feel that way. So I have to feel that way before anybody else feels that way. And I'm just probably like obviously maybe going through a little bit of like dress fatigue of like probably browsing so many. So I've like taken a break. I've reached out to like some of my, well I did obviously it was announced I get real. I did project runway. And so I met like so

excited insane. I met a bunch of designers and like half of them have like experience in the wedding or bridal industry. So I had no idea that they were like actual bridal designers. And obviously we're talking about like the logistics of my wedding. And they're like, if you guys, if you need anything, like let us know. Like I would love to do something for you. So I'm like, you're like, I need something. I'm like, do I just get somebody that like literally can just whip it up super quick? Because I'm like, that's, that's just kind of the boat that I'm in. But like their work is obviously gorgeous and it's very like high fact. I just want something very unique. Like, you know, I need something hot, sexy, unique. Like is not like overdone. I very much.

feel like that's like the vibe that I'm going for. So I don't know, everyone say a prayer or two for me because I'm going to need it. Have we talked to Randy from Kleinfelds because I'd like to see you and Madison have like a dual say yes to the dress moment. Wait, it's so funny. I'm like, I needed to bring the, I don't know why I haven't brought that up. I should do it, right? And if you could do something with Madison, I could probably get a reception dress. You could do something and then we could all watch it happen, which is like what we want. Wait. I don't know when they film. Is it like, when do they do their new season? I have no idea. Didn't Madsen say she was going for her wedding? Like, is it soon? Is she filming soon? I think they just film and then they probably just air it whenever they

like, I guess compel. And I don't know how it works. But yeah, I will reach out after we're done recording today. So I would love to see that. Maybe that's what I need to do. And hopefully Randi can truly like pull something from the archives or anything that would be great for me because I am Godmother. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or like Randy. Should I bring Carrie? Carrie and Randy Rom. Again, God have mercy. That is, I'm going to need a lot of champagne for that. A lot of champagne and you would absolutely find the dress. Oh, I would. I would with those three for sure. I feel like even with Carrie too, like I could not see the vision and then he would be like, oh no, this looks amazing. and then all of a sudden it would look amazing on me.

No, it's really, that's how, that's his magic. I have to give it up for Carrie for that because I'm like, normally I'm like, I'm not sure, but once I put it on, he like sees it all the way through, which I sometimes have a hard problem doing. So trusting Kerry and he always, he always makes it work. That was the best episode ever because me and Charity got to go back to Carries and we chatted and had a perfect night. And I haven't had such a fun night in forever.

No, I literally set like a lamb once I got back to my hotel. I was like, oh, this is great. But also just like he always feeds us. It's literally like we're good. Like, I don't know. Comparing it to my bridal shower is going to be crazy. But I'm like, Carrie's such a host. Like, he really is.

And I'm like every time I go over there, I'm just, I literally feel like it's my apartment, but it's not. Like that's how comfortable he makes you feel. That's how good of an experience you always have. And then I was like, where's Rachel? Rachel comes in like 20 minutes later. And I'm like, okay, we are all like this is this is how it's supposed to be. It was so fun.

You're fully in all these sweatpants, the Ralph Lauren fit. My little Justin Bieber. Yes. My Justin Bieber swag to set. I was like, I should have taken it because I was like, I kept going back to that picture. And I was like, wait, this is Loki a look. It's a look and I have mine still. So then we can wear it to a recording.

I'm going to text Carrie. be like next time I'm in L.A. I need to retrieve my swag to fit. My swag to is crazy. That's literally, I felt like Justin Bieber. I was like, hey. What else? What else is new? I'm like, what's new with you? I am doing, I'm hosting my other podcast, which has been so fun. Yes. So excited. It is so nice to not be the one dating and just and like inquiring. Inquiring. It is so refreshing. It's been so much fun. But basically just that and this and flying, just working a lot, which I feel very blessed

that I have work right now and that I'm able to do all these things. Amazing. Okay, wait. Another wedding question. What are you guys thinking about for your honeymoon? Okay, well, I need a text, Blake, because I really need to get on the, did I mention that? Yeah, but I'm like, I want to, I think I told him. I was like, I want to do Tanzania.

like that's where I want to go for our do they have something special there um I don't know I need to ask Blake I'm trying to do it ethically like you know that's the whole thing I'm like for sure and I also care about it but I'm like I just you know I can't say oh we're honeyminning and I have like a giraffe in our window and they're like not getting fed or something like god's yeah yeah because there's some places that they like have like trackers on the animals and stuff and it's not as like organic. Yeah. Oh my gosh.

That would be so amazing. Tanzania. I love it. I need to do like Zanzibar too. Like do a little. No, I know. I'm like I'm going to do the whole like tour. Like if I'm doing it, I'm doing it all.

Like yeah. I'm telling you I want like a three week like almost a month honeymoon. I do not care. When I check out, check out. I'm off grid. Don't come and look for me. Don't. You will not get a response.

And I'm enjoying my time with my hubby. Wait. Also, speaking of you guys were just. in Mexico. I was dying at your story. You're like, 1-800, don't fucking call me. I don't care. I don't care. I'm not answering. Leave me alone. Mood for your honeymoon for the rest of time. How was it? For the remainder of 2026 in the beginning, at least the first half of 2027. Thank you. It was so good. I like almost, I feel like that was like obviously a like mini vacation that we did where it just wasn't, it didn't feel like it was like,

oh, we're here for an event. We're here for something. Like, my brain was off. Like, you know, and I felt like we both needed that. It was just so good. Obsessed with the resort. Like, it's like the top, like all inclusive, like resort in Cabo. I think in Mexico, actually, when I say their staff is like incredible, when you would walk,

they would like turn and like stop walking. Like they would see you like walking from like half a mile away and they would stop and wait for you to pass. And then they'd be like, oh, oh, my God. That's so sweet. No, it felt like royalty. So it was in the food. I'm telling you I had the best meal in my life there. Like the best meal.

Their chefs are incredible. 10 out of 10 experience. Me and Dotten had a time. And you know what? Perhaps I will be back. I want to go. Did you guys get like massages? Yeah, we did the couple's massage, which was incredible.

They have this thing, like this like water ceremony thing. We did that too where you go through like four different like chambers or like a room. and it's like the sauna, the vapor room. They have like this ice bath where you like rub your body and like ice and aloeuvreira jail. It was like so, I don't know, it was very sensational. That sounds. I was going to say the bachelor hasn't hopped on this.

Like I'm shocked. I haven't seen this as a date. Right? I was like, no, it was giving. It was very. It sounds sexy. It was very. Perhaps.

No, perhaps. Perhaps. Indeed it was. Yeah. So like I said, I had the time of my life and I was really not happy to come back. But it's okay. We'll go back. We'll take more trips.

We have some big news. What's the news, huge news? We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it.

We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts. We're starting a trend. But this one's extra special. So how did we? How do we actually come up with a name Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it.

Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title. for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys.

Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some SNL, late-night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier.

This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer, Streeter Seidel, help an a cappella band with their between songs banter. Where does your group? perform. We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter. Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and friends on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple

podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Deanna Maria Riva, actress, mother, lover, and a Gen X woman walking through life one hot flash and hormonal crying jag at a time. You ladies know what I mean. I'll bet you a perimenopausal chin here you do. So let's talk about it. Join me on my new podcast. How hard can it be with Deanna Maria Riva, where I call on my GenX squads from Ohio to Hollywood

as we navigate midlife's most fantastic BS. All of a sudden, I'd had hanginess happening on my own. I was like, what the hell is that? I was married when I had her, so I didn't even consider how empty that nest was going to be. Mood swings, night sweats, fupas, sex drive. Wait, what sex? Dating at 45, how can it be getting naked at 50 with a new guy.

That one's kind of hard. Well, that's lighting. They say we can't polish a turd, but we're sure going to try. So let's get blunt with laughs, tears or tears of laughter, and dive into it unfiltered and unbothered and ask, How Hard Can It Be? I cannot believe I'm about to say this out loud in public. Listen to How Hard Can It Be with Diana Maria Riva

as part of my Cultura podcast network available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Will Ferrell's Big Money Players and IHart Podcast presents soccer moms. So I'm Leanne. Yeah. This is my best friend, Janet. Hey. And we have been joined at the Hipsons High School.

Absolutely. now a redacted amount of years later. We're still joined at the hip. Just a little bit bigger hips, wider. This is a podcast. We're recording it as we tailgate our youth soccer games in the back of my Honda Odyssey. With all the snacks and drink. Sidebar.

Why did you get hard seltzer instead of beer? Oh, they had a bogo. Well, then you got it. Do you want a white color or something here? Just hit it. Oh, what are y'all doing? Microphones? Are you making a rap album?

Oh, I would. Come on. Could you believe? I would buy it. Cut through the defense like a hot, nice. through sponge cake. That sounds delicious. Oh, you're lucky. I'm not a drug addict.

You're lucky I'm not an alcoholic. You're lucky I'm not a killer. I love this team and I'm really trying to be a figure in their lives that they can rely on. Listen to soccer moms on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And you guys came back to some new.

There's been a lot going on in Bachelor Nation. There's a lot of news. We've been talking about some of the news. Yeah, where do we start? I'm like, me and if our, if our texts ever got leaked, could you imagine? No, like, because we stay on top of it. When I see anything, the first thing I do is send it to charity.

No, I literally, like, Rachel has just become my, like, landing board for, like, I need to get something off my chest. Rachel, have you seen this? Let's talk about it. And we always have the same exactive. opinion on whatever. Like, never differing. She's never like, well, and I'm never like, I don't know.

It's like, exactly. Exactly. We're not too dumb girls. We two smart girls saying exactly, telling each other exactly. Hello. That's what we're doing. Where do we even start? We have a couple of things on here, but I feel like there's been so much happening.

I know. Let's talk about maybe let's go with Lexi. Okay. Yeah. I know that she, like, obviously. She has like, I am actually very proud of her because she has really like, I feel like taken dating and like put this whole new like fresh perspective of on it, which I appreciate when it's like we're in a world where obviously there's a dating like crisis going on. In person dating just doesn't like it's not happening. Like you don't see it as often unless you like have a friend that set you up with someone and we know that that either is a hit or miss too.

But like when it comes to like events and stuff like that doesn't exist. So obviously, for those who don't know, Lexi obviously runs in the wild dating. She started that business after being on Joey season and she's really just popped off. She moved from Atlanta, but I think she splits her time. So she's in New York now. I actually might see her later today, but I don't know yet. So obviously she's in New York now. But I think she has been someone who's been very vocal about her dating life too, obviously

in connection to her business. she's someone who is helping singles connect, but we're like, Lexi, what's going on? What's going on with you? And I think that she is just kind of focused right now on that. And obviously, a big part of Lexi's journey was like her opening up about her endometriosis and how that has been with obviously dating. So she's not dating anyone as far as I know. But I think she's just career oriented, which is nothing is wrong with that. We are, be applaud Lexi. I think it's like so crazy because as a woman having to date while in the back of your mind constantly thinking about like this biological clock and especially in Lexi's situation because

she does have I believe it's stage five endometriosis. So going through the egg freezing process and thinking about your future, especially because she really does want a family and kids and when you're in a business where you're helping people meet and helping people create families. And then you're kind of in that situation where people are in your comments reminding you that you don't have it. It's hurtful. I totally see like where she's coming from. I love that she posted the comment and how it affected her. No, 100%. I think people forget that there's just like, just because we went on a TV show or like we have this like, I don't even want to say status, but the status that kind of just comes with being associated for being on a TV show,

people automatically assume like, oh, like, we're like millionaires and we have like all this money and we have all the freedom in the world to do whatever we want to do. So like life should be easy. And like if anything, I feel like, I don't want to say it's quite opposite, but it comes with a lot more hurdles than I even had prior to being on this show. And like people forget that. So I do think like it becomes incredibly invasive to begin with to even ask like, oh, when are you going to settle down? When are you going to have like start having kids? And like, you know, start speaking about, like, when you plan on getting pregnant? It's just such a, like, risky topic that I'm like, still people are not understanding. Like, it's just not appropriate to ask because you just never know what people are, like, experiencing you're going through. But she also mentioned, like, being financially set up to be a mom to begin with. I'm like, in this economy, hello. Like, I'm so sorry.

Like, nothing is like, nothing, everything requires, like, things to be extremely thought out. And I don't know. I just appreciate her also highlighting that because I'm like, yeah, it's a journey. And like I too have even considered like freezing my ex. Not that I'm like, oh, I'm not ready to have kids. I am, but I just also don't want to feel like I'm on this, you know, insane timeline. I like try to figure it out and get it right all in like this condensed cycle or timeline. So yeah, I don't know.

We support Lexi. Love her dearly. So always reading for her and her to find hopefully. her perfect match. Yeah, her and I saw Susie also was posting about her egg freezing journey. Serene has gone through it. And I appreciate it so much because like you said, I've been really considering it and watching them go through it. It is so scary to have to give yourself those injections. But I, like you said, appreciate them for being so vulnerable because I think it helps a lot of people. No, for sure. I remember also talking about it with Susie specifically.

I think this past like fashion week. Yeah, or fashion week when she was in New York. I had mentioned that we were talking about it at dinner. And I was like, yeah, like I want to start it. I think I'll do it like after wedding. But I think for me it's like obviously with Dotten being in like, you know, the wellness space, he's like we need to start like six months. Like he's like on this whole like full body prep for me.

So it's like a thing. And her showcasing that just also, I think there's a lot of vulnerability too. Like she was like showing, you know, clips of, you know, how she was used to be, like, afraid of this whole process. And now she's taking the next step to do it and just the highs and lows. Because I know, like, the hormonal, like, injections causes you to be very emotional. And it's just like, like, people just, I don't know. I don't know what people who just feel so freely to comment on this, like, expect or don't really maybe understand about the situation.

But I think this hopefully sheds light and creates maybe a space for people to also be a little bit more. sensitive to it. So yeah. Yeah. We love you, Lexie. And Susie. And Susie and everyone. And speaking of family planning.

Hannah Brown also posted that she underwent a uterine surgery. She had a septum in her uterus, which I think she said would affect her ability to like conceive or I don't know the exact medical term. Doesn't it mean that you have like she basically has two, like it creates a split in her uterus. She has like two. Yeah. She said it wasn't technically like a heart.

It was like a septum. And I don't know exactly if it's like affecting the ability for the egg. But she underwent surgery, which is the first step in her family planning, which we're so excited for. And I'm just so happy that she did that and that now her and her husband can hopefully get started on that. I know. I feel like that's so rare.

Like when she opened up about it, I was not too familiar with like the possibility of that even being like a thing. Like obviously I knew about like everything else that like women go through. But I'm like that is like so rare. And she did like obviously talk about it. But a uterine septum is like very specific. And I think because it creates like two cavities with her talking about that, I think again, all these conversations around family planning. I think it just sheds light to like just the intricacies. of women's bodies in general and what we have to go through or what things that we might have

to face. And again, just opening the conversation for things to be handled a lot more gracefully and sensitively. I think she obviously, it went successful. So very happy for her. And hopefully as they continue on their fertility journey, we are reading for success and everything for them. Yes.

Adam. Yes. Okay, this next topic, I feel so passionately about I am Ashley I's biggest fan. Are you watching Real Housewives of Rhode Island? I'm not, which I know, I know, I know. I'm behind. I literally am like TV off. Thank you.

You know what? I don't blame you. Ashley I, I feel like paved the way for so many people in reality TV. She invented crying on TV. She invented the two on one day. As an empath, I'm like, I support. I fully am a supporter of. Our Pisces queen.

And so Ashley is on Real Housewives of Rhode Island. And she's been very open about the struggle of their business, Audrey's, which I've been to. It is so amazing. And even when I was there, Jared was working, delivering our food. Like, he truly cares so much about this business. And I just love also that Ashley is able to be so open about what they're struggling with. And what isn't going well? They have two very young kids.

Baby boys. Yeah. And I just want the best for her. And her cast has been in the news talking about her saying that she's not cut out to be a housewife, saying that she can come around. Yes. And I want to be in the comments being like, first of all. No. Who are you?

Because this is Ashley I. Wait, are they saying that just because she's like, I mean, obviously, I haven't, I need to, I'll watch the season starting tonight. Thank you. Is it because she's just not as like messy? Because I know like housewives is like a different level. Like, you know, it's like sometimes I feel like their drama is very middle school. I think that's what they're saying. And I was like, I feel like we just need to give her a second to warm up. She's coming into a group of an established friend group. Right. And we need to let her cook a little. Just a little bit. Just a little bit. Anyone has what it takes to be an incredible housewife. It's Ashley. It's Ashley. It's our girl. And I will go to bat for you, Ashley.

I will be in those comments. And I just hope, you know, the best for her. And that this hopefully helps Audrey's and can take some stress off Jared. What has Jared been open about like, I guess that he's like maybe struggling with? Like, is it this environment of filming? all the, I don't know, nonsense that comes with it. Yeah, I think it's the amount of work and money that goes into the coffee shop. I think it addresses him out that he has to put so much into it because he truly, like,

has his heart and soul in this business. And I hope that the show can bring it all the attention and means and that it's booked and busy. Is it in Rhode Island? I believe it's outside of Newport. Okay, great. I'll take a visit. Me, Jill, and Genevieve went for trivia night. It was so much fun.

South Kingston. Okay, well, I will take me a little trip. Jared, I want the best. We're on the way. I assume you guys sell match. I'm a matra girl. And alcohol. You can get an espresso martini and a macha.

Anything you want. My love languages. That's what I like to hear. Okay. I'm in full support. Our listeners who are in New England go to Audrey's. We love. We love, we love, we love.

I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band. Before Jonas Brothers was... This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas.

And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.

Hey, I'm Deanna Maria Riva, actress, mother, lover, and a Gen X woman walking through life one hot flash and hormonal crying jag at a time.

You ladies know what I mean. I'll bet you a paramedepa-in here you do. So let's talk about it. Join me on my new podcast. How Hard Can It Be with Deanna-Mereva, where I call on my GenX squad. from Ohio to Hollywood as we navigate Midlife's most fantastic BS. All of a sudden, I'd had

hanginess happening on my I was like, what the hell is that? I was married when I had her, so I didn't even consider how empty that nest was going to be. Mood swings, night sweats, fupas, sex drive, wait, what sex? Dating at 45, how can it be getting

naked at 50 with the new guy? That one's kind of hard, you know? Well, that's lighting. They say we can't polish a turrets. but we're sure going to try. So let's get blunt with laughs, tears or tears of laughter, and dive into it unfiltered and unbothered and ask, how hard can it be?

I cannot believe I'm about to say this out loud in public. Listen to How Hard Can It Be with Diana Maria Riva as part of my Cultura podcast network available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Will Ferrell's Big Money Players and IHart Podcast presents soccer moms. So I'm Leanne. This is my best friend Janet. Hey.

And we have been joined at the hips and stuff. high school. Absolutely. Now a redacted amount of years later. We're still joined at the hip. Just a little bit bigger hips, wider. This is a podcast. We're recording it as we tailgate our youth soccer games in the back of my Honda Odyssey.

With all the snacks and drink. Sidebar. Why did you get hard seltzer instead of beer? Oh, they had a bogo. Well, then you got it. Do you want a white collar or something here? Just hit it. Oh, what are y'all doing?

Microphones? Are you making a rap album? Oh, I would. Come on. I would buy it. Cut through the defense like a hot knife through sponge cake. That sounds delicious. Oh, you're lucky I'm not a drug addict.

You're lucky I'm not an alcoholic. You're lucky I'm not a killer. I love this team and I'm really trying to be a figure in their lives that they can rely on. Listen to soccer moms on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Okay. And last but not least, Rachel, my dear is Rachel. So whom is our fellow queen, my fellow queen. Okay, you opened up recently on Instagram, which I, if I could just like leverage and plaster

the video everywhere, I would do so. Like, I wish, I had the tools. So for those who didn't see it, basically Rachel opened up a couple weeks back about just how, I guess, commentary and things have been said to Rachel. Rachel specifically have gotten just completely out of hand. And I'll be the first to say. Like, I just feel like this was so, first of all, I'm so proud of you for doing that because I know, like, that could have not been easy. And I relate to that so much. And just in ways that I probably would have never been able to make a video about it at least. Like, I'm quick to be like,

who is in charge? How do I get this down? Like, that's my go to. But like, I commend you so much because that takes just a lot of courage to, like, face and address head on. But to our listeners and to our beloved fans of Bachelor Nation, I just don't know how many times we have to say it. You know, it's like one of those things like, and it's so, it's so funny to me because I'm like, a lot of the people that make these comments, obviously, and I'm not here to, like, nitpick or do anything. I want to also, like, give this back with as much compassion as possible.

But I'm just a believer of, like, if you really just don't have anything kind to say, it's just there's no benefit in you commenting it. There's no benefit in you riding it. It just is not helpful. It's not beneficial. So just maybe some things are just meant to be kept to yourself. And especially when the world and the internet itself, social media is already such a scary place. And it's something that everyone is having to face and combat in their own ways. You're not helping the situation. So obviously a lot of the comments, if you're okay with me, just kind of briefly we don't have to dissect. It's just that obviously Rachel has had a transformation in her appearance.

And to some people, it's like, yeah, obviously, like Rachel is, it's her. She knows there's transformation happening. But the comments that are associated with it are just so unnecessary. It's so unnecessary. People assume, like, there's, you know, loads and loads of plastic surgery, which, again, not okay, just still not okay to comment on women's bodies, anyone's bodies at that, like, hello, it's 26, let's get out of it. They speculate on, again, like I said, the surgeries when there has, like, it's just really, it's really out of hand. And so if there's anything like else, Rachel,

that you want to, like, add to this while we have our, our listeners and viewers here, but please know, like, I'm in the ring for you. Like, I know, you know. Yeah. You, I mean, Each one of us, I feel like goes through a struggle. And we have talked even before this started happening to me about how harshly you have been criticized and judged, especially on your time on Dancing with the Stars. And I think when it gets to a point where your friends and family start really clocking it, that's when it hits hard the most because I, we get comments all the time. But when it starts coming in that heavy, my friends and family,

kind of were bringing it up, that they've been seeing all these comments. And it's hard for me because I see what they're saying, like you said, I do look different. When everyone first met me, I was 25 years old. I'm 30 years old now. So it's been a transition. I've had illnesses, things that have happened to me along the way that have gotten me to where I am now. But I think mainly I just want to say to everyone, like, I see what you're saying. It's just hard when I get to a point where I don't want to post and I don't want to be in front of the camera, even when we post things for happy hour. And then I have to see 90% of the comments talking about things like that. Yeah.

I also feel like I've been so open about any procedures I've had done. Like, I might as well have gotten my boobs done on camera with the other. Hello. I'm so open to anything anyone wants to do with their body. But I think weight can be sensitive for a lot of people. And I think we're seeing that just across the board. And I just want to tell everyone it is something that I see. But, you know, we're dealing with it.

And hopefully I can just get a little bit of grace. And you guys can talk all the shit you want in your group chat. Truly. Leave it in the group chat. So much shit in our chat. Because don't let me lay eyes on it. Truly. Like, you don't want me to see your comment.

Yes, you can literally talk about it all day, but just bringing it to platforms where people can see it. Just remember that we do. We see it. And yes. And I just want to add to that too because like Rachel said, it's something that too, I also like experience specifically also on my season of Bachelorette when it was I would remember like there were certain comments of like, oh my God, it's just like,

you cannot speculate like anything about someone's bodies. Like it's just not okay. It's not appropriate. I remember there was one like, go eat a cheeseburger. And it's like I have been the same way, but thank God genetically my entire life. So it's like there's nothing like to speculate that also is such a reach, but it's also very dangerous. It's dangerous for the people, people who actually might be experiencing conditions.

and then they have to go online and see something that might re-trigger something or send them back into like relapse on something. Like it's just not okay. So I don't know. Like these are grown people that I'm talking to, people who have kids and are raising grandchildren. It's insane. It's ridiculous.

But I hope that you are also raising mighty, brilliant, tiny humans to be compassionate people in this world because if they have you to look up to as an example, I apologize for them because that's unfortunate. But be an example. and yeah, be nice. That's all I have to say on this. Okay, case closed. Thank you.

And we love you all. We do see the good comments as well. But, yes. Rachel's like, okay, let me be nice. Thank you. We love you so. Yeah, yeah.

I'm just like, I don't know why it's hard to be nice in this world. I mean, we got too much going on as it is. Like, we all are wanting a break. We do. We're in the same boat.

We're in this together, whether or not you guys believe it or not. So let's just help each other out and be graceful and be loving. All right. Love everyone. Do you have any other news? What other news do I have?

That we actually want to talk about. No, I know. I'm like that I might be missing. I haven't seen anything crazy. So, yeah. Oh, I, there is some news. I saw, do you remember we had Clayton on for the, what was the podcast called? I don't remember the exact name.

When we interviewed him? Yeah, he was like starting his. Oh, love trap. Love trap. So LoveJapt is, or I saw it was number three or two on the charts. It's doing good. Crazy. I'm waiting for this Netflix documentary.

It's coming. I am so invested. Yeah, no. I actually am like really happy that it's having this like insane reach because I do think that the story itself is like actually like that shit crazy. I have never. And it's just also like if I don't know if it hits differently. I'm like, oh, like, not that I'm like best friends with Clayton, but it's like, oh, it's

someone that I actually like know of. Like, it's like, you know, like this happened to someone close in proximity to me. Like, it's insane. So yes, I am, I don't know. What was the, do we even know what the verdict was? What happened to the girl? Because she needs to go. I think it's still going to court, which is the crazy part or now it actually is going

to court. She didn't take the plea deal. Oh, so she's confident. Okay, sister. And we will be watching. As always, Clayton, we have, you have our support. We're obviously reading for you in this because I cannot imagine. And I know you have obviously been openly discussing how much it's affected your life and really took a toll on it.

So reading for you. And I will add, I do like the blonde hair. That's the news from Bachelor. I do like it. I'm like, I think it like, you know. A little spice. Yeah. Like I think it does something to the face.

It adds like dimension. I don't know. But I'm a fan of it. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Agreed. Good choice, Clayton. Okay, guys, that is all for today's episode, but stay tuned for part two dropping tomorrow.
