And today I have on my hilarious, charming, lovely friend,

Andrew Spencer. First of all, I did not know he was such, I knew he was a romantic, but he got even deeper today about how much of a romantic he actually is. And we talk all about the Hulu event that we were both at last night, who we saw, what our ups and downs were, why we get so nervous to take pictures with celebrities. You obviously know him from Bachelorette, Bachelor in Paradise, and I had to ask since the next season of Bachelor in Paradise is coming up if he's going on it. So enjoy my conversation with Andrew Spencer. Are you like a movie buff?

I'm a huge movie buff. Are you really? Yeah. Like not just rom-coms. Not just rom-coms. I just think rom-coms are just, you know, feel good. They're feel good. No, they're unrealistic.

That's not true. You don't think rom-coms are unrealistic. No, I think they're real. What? They're just, there's stories that someone's had. You don't live in the honeymoon phase and then it all dying from there? Well, I mean, that's kind of how all stories are when you summarize it. Like, I'm sure like not everything was perfect.

You know, you summarize it, you know, someone's like, oh, how was your third of your marriage? Oh, you learn to love the person. They always give you that talk. I'm like, okay, so he lived a rom-com, you know what I mean? And just kind of. I guess the rom-coms are the early phases of love. So that's realistic. Well, depend.

I mean, like, at the same time, like, you know, you can always come back to someone that didn't work out in the beginning. Is that how you feel? No, that's the notebook. No. Oh, the notebook kills me. Yeah. Am I wrong? No, the notebook kills me because it reminds me of my grandparents so much because my grandparents met in kindergarten.

Right. Never dated anyone else. Became best friends in, like, kindergarten. And then never, and then my grandma got dementia. Oh. And they were like 95 and, like, he would still like smack her butt. and like they were obsessed with each other sad right

I mean it's amazing but I mean it's great but it's like it's that movie like made me solve I'm sorry like my mind went like the wrong way oh because they pictured my grandpa being dirty no like your grandma not remembering

like the hell slapping luckily I didn't get that she remembered him who are you she remembered him she almost was like she reverted back to like a child I remember her being like, I'm going to have licorice for lunch. And I was like, you got to have like a good, yeah, it was cute. It was like a cute dementia.

Yeah, okay. Is that a thing? First of all, thank you for coming on the podcast. Thanks for having me. I feel like I've been trying. No, a year ago, it was like a year ago that you were on my live podcast. Yeah, in Des Moines. Isn't that weird?

Does time freak you out? That's a great question, honestly, very loaded. Barbara Walters. It could be really deep if you really look at it. In a way, you know, time does freak you out a little bit. It freaks me out so much. My thing about time is, like, smells. Like, if you smell something that happened from, like, far away a long time ago.

You know why? And it brings back, like, this whole rush of... Nostalgia. Yeah. Okay, let me show you something. And this is good for the listeners to hear, too, because my sister sent me this on TikTok, and I, like, I was like, oh, my God, that explains it so much, because nostalgia is my favorite feeling. Listen to this.

It is... Nostalgia connects you to who you were before the world broke you. That's why you like it. Oh, my gosh. pulls you out of survival mode and that's why I watch Save by the Bell until I can't take it anymore because it reminds me of when things were simple but it reminds me of who I really am and that's why I love nostalgia so much you're burnt out living in survival mode you can't take shit anymore you feel stuck it takes you back to when you were not stuck it takes you back to like that

original nervous system blueprint that God gave you that he created you with that's your default. Even if your childhood wasn't perfect, it will take you back to the golden moments, right? And when you remember those times, your nervous system chills the fuck out. So I'm gonna watch. It's really funny that you say that

because I feel that 100% because it's fresh mode grass. Yeah. Oh, I just said that on my Instagram story. Like, a lot ago. It's like when you like, when it's like morning, It's got like a little dew on it. Yeah.

And it's like kind of like, you know, I like remember I just started playing football. I think a lot of just happened to my family. Yeah. Like my dad just got arrested. So it was like, oh, well, it's my first year playing football. It's like the love of my life. I've been trying to play since I was like three. And they're like, you can't play, you know, old enough.

So I finally get to play and I remember like I'm outside ready, like way before. I'm like the game's like in like two hours. And I'm outside and I remember the fresh. cut morning grass smell and I can see like the water droplets on the grass then I'm just like oh my god I'm so ready and I always whenever I smell that I'm just like I remember that kid who just like all I ever wanted was to just play this sport yeah and everything's gonna be okay and like that's kind of like literally what she was saying like literally almost it like made me emotional yeah same that's good that's when my sister sent me that I just sent her all the crying

emojis because I was like, that is exactly, I'm like, sometimes I feel something or think something and I find it so hard to articulate exactly what I'm thinking. And that helped me so much. I was like, that is exactly what I was thinking. Fresh mowed grass is one for me too. Barbecue, the smell of a barbecue. Okay. Mowed grass. And it's all, for some reason, it's all things to do with my dad. He's like a very comforting person. My also, my other one is a bus gas smell. Oh, boat gas smell for me. Bus gas, I always think of the bus stop or the way the buses used to be lined up for you to go

to school. That was like, have you ever went back to like your old school and smelled that smell? All the time. I mean, I like, I like, I like, I used to like, I used to like, I just, I'm like very like, not giving back, but I love to come back and see the teachers and everyone who said I wasn't going to amount to nothing.

Little did they know. I was a reality TV star. Leave my Instagram follower, bitch. It's like you said I wasn't, I talked too much. Well, it helped. That's what I always say. I'm like, I didn't go to college and it worked out for me. Class clown literally helped.

No, I just, no, I do have a lot of appreciation for them. And I still talk to you, like, the coaches and they meant a lot to me. Really? Oh, they shaped a lot of, like, who I am the day. So I always go back. I feel like I could still stretch $20 into, like, three weeks if I need to. I should have that. I think everybody should have that mindset.

Not be cheap, but frugal. Yeah, very frugal. I mean, one of the things I do spend a lot of money on is the movies and, like, snacks. Do you still, like, going to, like, the theater? Oh, I'm going to the movies tonight with Justin. No, you're not. I'm going to see centers again for the second time, but. Well, I don't you know what that is?

Oh, with Michael B. Jordan and Haley Stamphill. Oh, you watch that movie. Trust me. Really? Really? I'll be all the way turned on. Uh, Haley Steinfeld in that movie. Oh, she's amazing.

Literally, I'm not even going to talk about. She's married. And I like Josh Allen, so I'm just going to stop. That's funny. I was at a dinner with her once, and I didn't realize it. The whole time I was at the dinner, until the end, and I was like, is that Haley-Fle-Sleinfeld? She's beautiful. Gorgeous.

I've had a crush on her for a while. Have you really? Yeah, before, before, like, all this stuff came up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Josh, Allen, yes. Buffalo Bills. Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. Yeah, that's funny.

They, like, seem really cute together, too. I was a little mad at first because I was like, but what about that girl? He met since college, I, like, thought. I know her. Oh, you do? Yeah. I met her in Abita one night. Oh, my gosh.

I think we're Instagram friends maybe, and I just think she is beautiful, too. Yeah, she's a nice. She's also sweet. She's really kind. I was, like, kind of loyal to her for a second. But then I was, now I'm like, team them. I'm like, you guys are so cute. Okay, we were at a Hulu event together last night.

Not like, together together. No, what you mean? Start the rumors. But there were so many people there. Holy shit. Like, Bachelor people in general, I was like. Is it a big, is a big, for, I'm not like in the mix all the time because I'm in Nashville and I feel like L.A. people always like hang out with each other at these events. And so I'm like, I feel like I miss out on the friendships that go on. I used to think like, but I'm like that was so much fun. I was, I had the same thought. Because I in my mind, I call it the Blake Horseman rule. What is that? I try not to hang out with other Bachelor people because you don't want to be in the drama and the messes. I never wanted to be around like Bachelor Nation women.

Obviously, you never knew if you were going to go on Paradise, what are the case may be. You just didn't want a rumor to go about. I hung out with some of the women there, and I was just, I'm just like, they're amazing. Wow. Yeah. Wow. Why have I been, like, holding myself back from meeting some of these young women, like,

who are just absolutely amazing, funny, Jessica, charismatic, all of it. Yeah, they're all sweethearts. And I don't even know how they're all single, which is crazy when most of them are whoever. Because men are the worst. Yeah, got to be. It's definitely not them. I mean, that should be Paradise. What?

I feel like what they were already filming everything, like... Oh, I know. Honestly, I feel like so many people would do much better there in that kind of scene than, you know... Well, it'll never be that, though. Yeah, that was great. I think they should do that every year. I think that event should happen every year. It was so much fun.

I actually, at the beginning, I was like, why is this so awkward? But it's because they were, they were, they were, it was like the interview part of it was so weird because you could tell... Courtney Kardashian was awesome, but Scott Dissick, did not want to be there, which made it hilarious. Oh, he was such, he was so Scott. Like, you know,

it was very on brand. Yeah, it was very on brand. So I think it worked through their dynamic. Honestly, kind of saved the podcast and my idea,

or the talk. It was so funny because they were like, we're going to do a rapid, and they're going to say rapid fire, and he's like, wrap it up, we're going to wrap up this interview.

Like, he was like, hype to get the hell out of there. But everyone else was just having the best time. Alfonso and I spent one hour on my golf swing. Really?

One hour. Yeah, he's a passionate talker he really is but one of the thing is is like i i absolutely that that dude what he did to my like my like upbringing in my life man i i love him to death there's literally i was just i was just in awe to just be in the same area as him i know he's amazing and remember when he told us that that show only aired for like six years yeah i still don't believe that yeah i had so many questions i was ready to rattle off but i was just like go ahead man just just talk Honestly, he's so easy to be around because he could just talk and talk and he's great dude.

And he's funny and he like does bits for everything. Yeah, all the dog bit with the dog. He was fully in character. He was in character and he will just go with it. I'm like, he is so funny. I hope he gets that, uh, that horror movie. I know. I think that would be really good for him.

I think I'm in a Jordan Peel. I don't know what you're talking about, but your movie knowledge is so above mine. I'm like dumb and dumber quotes only, but what is that? Is that like a horror movie? Jordan Peel is, he does like us. He's got a lot. He always has these like sinister kind of like make you think. He's got a new one coming out with about like football.

Like how do you like to sell your soul to. Oh God. For greatness, whatever. But yeah, he's really good. Okay. Let's talk about why you were so nervous to ask him for a photo. Because I went through this whole thing last night too with that. I just, I know how it is for people.

Yeah. Especially he's way cooler than me. He's pretty cool. And I understand like when some people want a photo. I never said no one yet. Yeah, yeah. And I can only imagine how many he's been taken in his whole life time. Yeah, he never says no either.

So I don't even want to put him in that situation. That's how I felt last night, too. I came back to the room and I had had so many glasses of wine. So I shouldn't have been doing an Instagram story. But again, I was trying to articulate the way that I was feeling. And I was like, what is that? Is that my ego or am I like, I don't want to bother them? Yeah.

Because it doesn't bother me when people ask for photos. No, I know, but I just know they have a lot. Like, they have to deal with, what do you call it? What is the people that just sneak up on your paparazzi? Yeah, yeah. Like, gross. Yeah, I can't. I could never, like, go out there and be like, hey, can have a photo when people are just.

And also, like, I hate taking photos with people because I feel like I look terrible in all of them. Oh, I'm just like, oh, that's going to be a terrible photo. I'll be like. Really? Oh, I hate them. And they tag me. I'm just like, gosh.

Oh, you should. My tag photos are actually a lot of pornography. Not of me, obviously. But, like, people will tag me and it won't stop. I don't know how to make it stop. That is something you should. should look at. Well, I don't want to look at it. No, no, I don't look into it. Oh, like on the

backhand. The funniest is when I was like, oh, I was like, Andrew does a great Carlton death. And you were like, no, no, no, no, no, no. You're like, don't tell him that. And then I was, I was thinking, because you always do, do that. I do, I do. That's your move. It's, I'm telling you, I do, I steal a lot of content from Fresh Prince, whether I'm playing like a Carlton role

or a Will Smith role. Yeah. Either or the older, that's just like what all my friends do. That's your bit. When we were growing up, it was like our comfort movie when we were going to bed. Did you love the trend, the anxiety one? Oh, yeah. I'm mad because some people just don't do it right. In a way, like it just didn't have enough like Will Smith pop to it. They didn't commit to the bit. No.

And it just became like a TikTok dance and I don't like that. I get that. I was just talking about you actually on Beckettelli's podcast because I was talking about, yes, I was talking about how men make me cringe so hard as influencers. Oh, love that. No, wait, let me finish, except for you and Greg. Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah. I was like, I don't know what it is about Andrew and Greg, but I think people try too hard,

and I feel like you guys don't try, you're just funny. I've told you that before. Yeah, and that's literally it. I mean, I feel like we don't take things too seriously. One of the things is that, like, you know, you want to be as attractive as possible in every video you want to do, but then it's sometimes just like,

that's just too funny to pass up on. So, like, you go for more funny Because you can relate to everyone And not just like one single crowd I think a lot of men Who try to make it in the space Try to be attractive to the female gaze Totally

And I think ours is just to people Who have a good funny bone So that works And you know sometimes You guys are just silly goosees Yeah humor's attractive So I think that's kind of our angle Greg's already freaking stunning

But like you throw him being funny I know Now you're looking at this guy Like he's got to earth Wait was it in the video with him Where you guys got in a fight And he slid down the door I was like, that was too real for me.

I'm like, I've done it. That was like, it was like you guys grew up as young girls. It was like, you knew, you knew. No, you've watched enough movies. We watch a lot of rom-coms, both of us, between the both of us. And Justin's like that, too? No, he does not watch any movies. Oh.

He's like, honestly, it's tough because we quote movies and he doesn't know anything we're talking about. Look at this. This is so funny. My best friend in the whole world sent me this on Instagram. Oh, God, not Greg just popping up. Wait. Oh, that's me. Yeah, me and Greg.

I watched that before I go to bed, like most nights. Oh shit, this went viral. Yeah, yeah, no, it blew up. That's probably like the most viewed video. How the fuck did that just pull up? Oh, maybe I was on your page or something looking for, I was looking for your dog's name. It's Kobe, right?

Kobe. What? Okay, chat GPT told me it was Kobe. No, it's Hash Brown. Oh, I knew it was Mr. Brown or something. Mr. Brown, yeah. That's so funny. We'll get to chat GPT.

That's crazy. It told me your dog's name was Kobe. I'm a LeBron fan. I'm like, oh, he's still got to be a co-event, no matter what. Yeah. Okay, so my girlfriend sends me this. She goes, your dream compliment. The golfing sequence of Navy sales.

Oh, thanks, bud. Dude, your reference is out of control. Everyone knows that. Hey, thanks, man. Your references are out of control. No, it's a, it's a, um, you get like a feeling like, oh, wow, I really made it. Like, people remember that line and, and that happens all the time in our friend's group, except for Justin. Wait, did you guys do a friend's anniversary?

Yeah, we did. Where did you go? We went to Dominicana. Oh, my God. Yeah, we went, we were in the DR for like a Raphael Nadal's, like, grand opening hotel thing. Oh, that's cool. And I took the boys. It was my trip.

And I was like, welcome. That's so cute. I actually thought I fell in love. What? Down there. Yeah, I have a, like, a weakness for, I just, just know, just like, you know, any, like, foreign language. Oh. Yeah.

that'll get you? Yeah, I was on duolingo for like 10 days straight. That was my streak because I wanted to learn Spanish. Wow. Okay. And did you learn? A boikito. Shut up. Okay. And did you not find love? What happened? Oh, no. She, you know, it was one of those like trip loves where you just, you know. I've had one of those. Yeah. So we were just hanging out and the next of you know, we were the life of the party there. Yeah. Yeah. Of course you were. We did like a, I got dared by Sean Johnson. I love her. She's amazing.

Yeah, she lives like five minutes from me, and I use her podcast. To dance battle this, the worker there who was working, he was sweating hard. He was going really hard. So I danced battle there. And I did like a leg drop. Oh, little splits? Yeah. And, you know, after that, people were just like, oh, you guys are funny.

No, no, no. We went back to the bar and this really, really, really, really, really gorgeous girl from Madrid and started dancing. And I was like, okay. And we're like starting to dance And then we start salsa in a little bit I got a little salsa bachate I mean you know I'm very cultured in that you know

I Dominican you know I know I know black I Dominican I'm just kidding So we're salsa in And I'm just like oh my God And then like you know how they're like she's like How do you say? I'm just like fighting everything

Find out she has a boyfriend I guess it's okay to dance with everyone But I stole my heart Oh my gosh. I'm sad that didn't work out for you. It's okay. I went to some salsa little hole in the wall club in L.A. one time. Okay.

And it's the first time where I wasn't just, like, men would come up and grab me and just dance and I wasn't creeped out. Yeah. That's kind of how it happened to me. Yeah. Like, they just, they love to dance. Yeah. It's like a thing that they, I mean, I love it. It's not sexual.

It's not, it's like literally their culture. And I was sweaty, just dancing. And these guys know what they're doing. and they just make you feel like you know what you're doing. And it was so much, oh, that's so fun that you guys did that. I tried to schedule a date with some girl to salsa dancing and $3 tacos. Sold. And this hole in a wall bar in Chicago, but it started raining.

And I just thought about, like, sweating and the rain and the moist. Maybe next time. The shoes skirt, skirt. I was like, and then also I thought I was like, do I want to make this memory with someone? I don't know if I'm going to be with it. That's true. It's an important one. Yeah.

That's a monumental, like, move there. That's, like, I'm re-watching my season of The Bachelor out right now for a podcast. Okay. Do not recommend. But I would save, like, certain dates for people that I wanted, like, so you've got to hold out on the special ones. Exactly. And not just, like, fire off all the best ones that on the beginning. No, I agree.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I save dates. I've saved places, too. Like, there's, like, places that won't travel because I want to do it with, like, my partner. Stop. Who? Where?

I mean, what? Who? I don't have anyone yet. I've never been to Paris yet, because I want to, like, save that. I love Paris. There have been to Greece. I want to save that as well. Singapore, Japan.

Oh, wow, you've really got a list. I do. I do. And I used to live in Vienna, so, like, my thing is, is, like, I was like, ooh, can't go there, can't go there. Because I wanted to go with someone else. Okay. This is dark, but what if you die tomorrow? What if I die tomorrow?

I guess I don't see it. Oh. Okay, just whatever. Yeah. I just would run, I would want to have that ultimate eye with someone that, you know, we can remember what if she's been to paris 10 times and it's not as special for her that's fine special for me oh okay yeah i just want to i want to experience it and you know know that i experience it with like the one i love the most oh that's so cute i know that you have a list you what does

your notes app look like it's got it's it's kind of like jumbled around yeah there's like there's like quotes uh sometimes i have a couple poems in there i love a good poem um you are a little romantic i am you really are i am that's sweet and then sometimes i have like bits with like gregg that we have like, oh, we should do this and we'll write it down. Like, do things just come to you or do you, like, get it from somewhere else? Yeah, we'll see something going on or like something that'll happen and we'll laugh. Like, oh, we could definitely turn that into a bit. And we'll think about doing it and whenever we get a chance to do it, we'll do it.

So, yeah. I want to be in a bit. Okay. I do. Like, I think one of the things is, me and Greg want to, we want to go to Arizona one day and and dance with Clayton. I think that'd be really sick. I think that'd be really sick.

Yes. Yeah, I want to get Joey to come with us too. I think that would be really cool to just... Oh, my God. Dancing with the Stars. Clayton really deserves to be on that show, I think. Yeah. I...

I fucking love his dance videos. I just love his attitude. Same. And one thing about me is just, like, doing stuff that you love. It's like... You can't knock it. You could tell he loves it so much. He's not very rhythmic, but...

The effort is all it matters. He's improved tremendously. Yeah, he has. It reminds me of my teammates. Like, when I was growing up... The big linemen and everyone, and they would always still try to dance with you. And they just didn't.

But you just enjoyed the fact that they're just being loose and moving their body. I love it. Oh, my God. That's a great idea to go do that. Can I come? I dance. Absolutely. We just got to get Clayton set it up.

I would literally do that. Paradise is coming back. Yes. I don't know how I feel about the Goldens on the beach with the young folk. Yeah. I think they're just trying to. kind of fill in a little bit more to get more juicy stuff because you know paradise sometimes kind of starts pretty slow yeah do you think there's going to be a hookup with a younger and an

older no chance zero percent chance and you don't think they have that in their like I don't think that's I think it's more so like a comforting thing to like kind of like have the both crossovers maybe do a couple dates double dates with them try to pick their brain the wisdom yeah I think it's going to be on that or even it goes both ways too like you know if I get down there and Charles is there, I'd be like, yo, listen, man, I see this, here's a little tweak in the game you can do to get here, and he gives me some knowledge. I feel like that's what they would do with the show. I think that would be, that'd probably be spot on. I love that Paradise is coming back. This is my favorite out of, I think, all three.

Paradise. Yeah, I think Paradise is my favorite. I like, I like the, I like the Bachelorette. Really? The Bachelorette, yeah. Yeah, I mean, I like all of them. obviously, because they suck me in every time. But I don't like seeing men be so petty. Like, I don't like seeing the women be petty either. Yeah. I think that's why I like Paradise.

I don't like the pettiness and the drama of that. No, I agree. Yeah, I might have to switch. I do. I think I like, I don't know. It feels like more authentic love stories in Paradise. Yeah, it's easier. Yeah.

Not really, because I did terrible, but. Wait, tell me what happened with you last time? I just, you know, I fell for a girl early. Yeah. Well, that was more, like, preconceived. like, it was like a head thing. You went into it with her up here. Yeah.

And thinking of what it was going to, it was going to be. It was just going to be like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, I do remember that. It didn't work that way. I remember something on Twitter. What's your cousin's name again?

Clay. Clay. I remember him tweeting something about you having a crush and I was like, is it this girl because me too? And then, yeah, you went in with big expectations. I did. I thought I had the, I thought I had the whole bachelor's thing down. You were like, I got this.

I can ski my way up. You're like, got it. I said, I love. looked at that I was like everything is crumbling like you get out there is so hot yeah the fish tacos are doing the game plan my note cards are sweating and falling apart I'm just like this is bad I would I would struggle in paradise because I'm either freezing cold or sweaty hot in paradise is you're not freezing at any point you're always hot there is no AC no fans and it's in Costa Rica this time oh yeah yeah yeah which is also really hot and muggy as well but if they asked to

you would you go on it uh i mean they have asked me but i i you know just waiting to see if wait to see who's there yeah you want to see the guest list i don't know it depends like i work in social media now yeah so like it's tough like it's scary to like put that all on the line for an edited version of yourself exactly exactly so um you know you just got to make sure that you tread and look at things you know the best uh best possible way for you and your future that's another thing alfonzo was talking to somebody about last night was how you can't worry about your edit otherwise you get two in your head

Oh, that was what happened to me last time in Paradise You got in your head about that Oh my God, I was trying to be the producer So I was trying to produce my own story Yeah, you can't do that No, I mean, I'm creative Yeah, yeah But at the same times there's too many things you can't control

You can't control the other person Yeah Or any bachelor edit and producers Exactly, and you can't control The weather Yeah, yeah and the other guys that are there. So it's like, you know, you're...

So how did you play it? If you went in to the beaches of paradise again, how would you play it this time? I don't want to know who's there. I don't want to know... I mean, I would be so much more freer. Yeah. I feel like I played the good guy role.

Yeah. You know, I just want to be myself. And, you know, I feel like, you know, it's a lot more freeing to just, like, go into it with just, you know, optimistic and whatever happens, happens. Yeah. And I think it would be more fun. Like, I want to talk to everyone.

Yeah. Like, I don't want to be locked in on one person off the jump. I wonder who's going to be there. Like, they have so many options right now. Yeah, there's a lot of seasons out there. I don't know. I mean, if anybody were, the people at the party, if they're there, I mean, I think it's going to be a good show because those people were killing it. Honestly, that was, yeah, there's, last night was so much fun.

I actually, like, I thought I would be, like, get me out of here after a few hours. And I was like, like, the lights came on. And I was like, what? No, I want more. Which now I'm like, you went out. I think everyone was feeling the same thing. I was like, dang, it just had to be Tuesday. Like, if it was a Thursday, I think we definitely could have kept going, but, yeah, it's tough.

Wait, what is that? What? A Thursday, like, Tuesday? Like, the bars are, like, closing. Oh, oh, I see what I was saying. There's, like, no after you could really do on a Tuesday. Well, Zachary Reality from TikTok, do you know who that is? Yeah, yeah, I know Zach.

Yeah, he was there last night, and he was texting me, he's like, telling me all these, like, golden bachelors that were at his house for an after party? And I'm like, how are the golden bachelors making it and lasting out longer than Caitlin Bristow? Like, I lost it. I mean, you've been, you've been doing podcasts and events for a long time now. Like, she's tired. You need the rest. I get it. I get it. But I didn't last night. You've been crushing it. You've been on tours, world tours. World tours? World tours? I don't know about world tours. I mean, you were traveling around the country for a minute. She's got some miles. I honestly, I'm such a Delta, like, loyal Delta.

hoe, and I have over a million miles saved up. Good for you. Thank you. One time they greeted me at the... I won't fly Delta again. What? Why? I had the worst experience with Delta. That's me with American Airlines. Oh, oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, what happened with Delta?

You know, there was a little bit of snow, obviously, living in Chicago. Yeah. Can't control the weather. Can't control the weather. And we're on board, and I'm like, okay, we're about to get off. And they're like, we're just going to de-ice the plane. Everything's going to be okay. De-ice the plane. I think they hit something. The plane comes shut, just shuts.

Then it boots back up. He's like, okay, listen, we've got to have maintenance come and check this out. We can't just, this is all the time why the news is everyone's like, planes are crashed, please. I'm like, well, fix it, get it ready. And we're on the plane for about an hour now. And he's like, okay, everything needs to be checked out. He's like, we got like 30 minutes left before we have to call it because it's been a time. Yeah, yeah.

That's the time limit. We have to de-ice again. We're de-icing. I'm like, what is going on? the ice again he's like all right we're ready to push back and he's like I'm sorry guys we have timed out I said are you kidding me oh no so we get off now now it's like I've been at the airport four hours now and they're like yeah there might there might be a crew coming in to fly you guys and they're like they just pulled in they're ready to fly yeah that airplane gets stuck on the thing

because I guess there was like a plane that was there that wasn't wasn't supposed to be there they're in the wrong bridge and I'm sitting here like are you kidding me so they had to wait for someone to be able to drive the plane out. Yeah. And so now we're waiting for that. That's like another hour. They finally get there. The pilots come on.

They're like, hey guys, we are a little tired right now. Oh. I was like, are you shitting me? We're tired? Make up a different excuse. But then they're like, second thought, we could do it. We'll do it for you guys. And I was like, thank God.

So I spent five hours at the airport. Where were you going? New York. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. I don't feel sorry for you. Why?

This happens to airlines. It's, it's... Nah, that was crazy. That was crazy. Delta is like the most on time, like, out of all airlines. So you had a bad experience. American Airlines is always on time. Well, Delta has a sticker on the side of the plane that says they're the number one.

Yeah, well, that's self-proclaimed. I love it. Where was I going with this story? I have no idea. We were traveling a lot. Tired. You went out without me last night. Oh, also I got some new boots.

New boot goofing? Oh! shit. Yeah, I'm going to stage coach for the first time. Oh, are you? Those are some good stage coach. Yeah, I almost brought my hat in here, but I was... Are you, are you doing the whole bit? I'm in, I'm in character now. Oh, boy. This is how I'll talk when I get down there. She's like, oh, I can't wait to go see Jason, Aldine, Nell him. He's not performing. Yep. I don't know who's performing. Carly Pierce, one of my besties is performing. She's amazing. Ah, Carly. I love her. Are you even a country music fan?

No. Well, you will be after this. I will see. Stage coach stresses me out. My thing with country is just that I can't, there's like no rhythm to it dancing-wise. Have you ever done a two-step? Yeah, I don't want to do a two-step. I want to do my own thing, you know?

There's no freestyling to a country songs. I disagree with that. I feel like everyone's doing the same moves. What is the move? I don't know, two-step. Oh. All right. That's fair.

Who are you going with the usual suspects? Oh, just Justin, and I guess there's a bunch of people there, so I'm just going to meet up with them. Have you, so you've never gone? Never gone. You've gone to Coachella? Because of the Blake Horseman rule. I've always stayed away from stage coach. Okay.

But I, you know, I made a decision. You're just like, now I get why it's the Blake Horseman rule. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, that makes sense. I love Blake, but I just love saying this so he can. That's funny. No, that's actually really funny.

Okay, yeah, because there's going to be a lot of people there. Yeah, from Bachelor Nation, obviously. Yeah. So we've always been terrified. Like, me and Greg, we were like, we're never going to go to. this thing. Yeah. And I'm already out here. I was just like, let's go to stage. When is it? Um, it's this weekend. Oh. Yeah. I'll be in Florida. Oh, what's in Florida? Um, my best friend's husband's birthday. It's important. It is an important one. I love him so much. And he, he's like a lover of a theme

party. So like, night one is habachi, nautical, um, attire. Oh, okay. Sorry, habachi for dinner and notical attire. I was like, I don't know how they both trains like to each other. Maybe it just has like some shrimp on it or something. And then the next night is like Wet Wild and Western, which is going to be fun. Is that water guns? Oh, great idea. I'm so putting it out. Don't let me forget that.

I do these. I throw parties all the time. Oh, that's good. I had a 70s. I've had a Harry Potter. I died in my hair blonde just to be, I think I told you about that. When? Was I drunk?

No, it was like the first podcast every day. Like a forecasting. Like how'd you get notice? Anyway. Oh. Yeah. I wanted to be Draco Malfoy, so I dyed my hair blonde. That's amazing.

We get really crazy with it. I love a theme, too. Yeah. That's fun. What is the, I'm trying to think of the last one. I think it's just white and black for dinner. Oh, you guys are doing it. Three, it's like a three-part birthday.

Well, so he, his family has a place in Florida right on the water, and it's so amazing. And so we're doing like, I mean, he's got an itinerary. Like, we're doing like a morning pump because he's also a trainer. Okay. And then we've got like this, this, this is. But I cannot believe that I didn't think about, I'm going to put water guns in my bikini. Yeah, you have to get hold. They got to get hosters. Or some assless chaps, something like that.

Oh, assless chaps. Okay, I can get this all on Amazon delivered tomorrow. I'm leaving tomorrow to go there. That's good. It's good stuff. Not on Delta either, and I'm so mad about it. United. Oh, yeah. They're good. I mean, they do have a good chia seed pudding oatmeal breakfast. Oh, in the lounge? No, in first class.

Oh, well. I always have. I'm like, the one thing I will say I'm super. The one thing I will say I'm stupid. The bachelor's been good to me, but not that good. The one thing I am super mushy about is First class Yeah, I don't really I'm not very particular about where I say

As long as the window seat I can like I have to be window I sleep the whole time Somebody we had questions from listeners About the Hulu event last night Okay perfect Somebody wanted to know

What was the high and low For each one of us At the event My high was Honestly getting to flirt with a lot the girl's there. I'm being dead serious. Yeah, fun. I enjoyed that. Yeah. I was like, wow, back in the lot.

And everyone's got witty responses and answers, and I'm just like, man, this is, this is fun. The banter's real. Yeah. Vanter's real when you get to meet these people in person. Obviously, I could see why the show cast of these people. Totally. They're good. The low is probably, uh, leaving, honestly. Yeah. I wish it was a little bit longer. Yeah, me too. Even though it went from one to nine 30 p.m. But what time did you get there? three 40 yeah same I was around the same time also I didn't take photos I didn't like do the walk I I forgot so I didn't get any any photos I that's a low I did I did get a couple photos but when I came in because so I think I can say this I was there we were supposed to promote something I know

but we can't now and so it's on hold so we were there and I felt like people are going to be like why the fuck is Caitlin here but really there's so many bachelor people that it yeah you you fit right in anyways yeah so it was fine okay my high was um seeing jay and Jimmy Kimmel. Yeah. I still have a bone to pick with him. He, like, you know how The Bachelor, like, always he talks about it. He came at my turtleneck one time.

Did he? Yeah, I was just, you know. Jimmy. Come on my turtleneck. Don't come out of a man's turtleneck. You don't come out of a man. Have you watched Severance? No.

Oh, no, that's on my list to start. Oh, you watch Mr. Milchick in that turtleneck, you'll understand. Really? Okay. That's my Halloween costume this year. Is it? Oh, yeah. Okay, I can't wait to watch.

Jimmy, it's so funny. I've told this story on my podcast, so I'm going to make it real quick. Maybe I told you last night. I can't remember. I told a couple of people. So he, I worked at a restaurant. I was serving him and like, God, I'm, who's, do you remember who he did the man show with? Adam Carolla.

Adam Carolla. I'm like serving them all at this restaurant. And who's the other guy that does the roasts? Jeff Ross. Jeff Ross. So I was serving all them and I asked him to roast me and it was pretty funny. And I ended up like partying with them after. This is before I went on the show, by the way.

Oh, wow. when I worked at a restaurant. Okay. I was serving them. So then I go on to The Bachelor and we're in the, all the girls are in the Bachelor Mansion and they're bringing a date card in. Jimmy Kimmel brings it in. And I was like, oh, so I wonder now if, obviously they-

He ever remembered you? No, so I wonder if they heard me on the mic. Obviously, they're listening to everything. But I think I said to one of the girls, oh, my God, I know him. So then I was picked for the one-on-one date that Jimmy did. And Jimmy crashed our one-on-one date. He, like, sent us to Costco. and then we had like a dinner at Crystal's like little house there.

And so we're standing there and we're having conversations. And I went, Jimmy, I'm like, you know Peter Gurges? And he was like, yeah. I'm like, remember the restaurant that he like brought you into and I served you? I was like, and I partied with you. And he was like, holy shit. He was like, I threw up that night. I got so drunk.

And I was like, and he goes, what are the chances that you're on this one-on-one date and like that we're here? And then he ended up. him and Guillermo took me wedding dress shopping for an episode of his show. And it was so funny. So my high was running into him and Guillermo and talking about that and being like, what a weird full circle like being here. You guys helped me pick out a wedding dress.

It didn't work out. It's spoiler alert. But that was really fun. Yeah. I feel like that was a high. A low was that we didn't get to announce what we wanted to announce that. No, that sucks. Yeah.

It was a bummer. It was a really big bummer. Okay, someone wants to know, favorite person you got to chat with. Ooh, I mean, obviously, Alfonso, but a close second, I think she was hilarious. Who? She cracked me up. Honestly, that whole group was pretty funny. Ariel, Gabby, and Jess were some of the funniest girls that I met.

Jess is so cute. Yeah, they're all gorgeous. Did you talk to Kardashians? No, I didn't. Another, I can't do it when I just feel like I'm like, I don't want to be cloudy and like, oh, I'm in. I did take a picture with Jimmy. If it's genuine and we're next to each other and we just start up a conversation, then of course.

Yes. Okay, I just didn't want to. Yeah, I think that was probably it. I would say that was the best. Oh, and Catalina, she was a, she was sweet girl too. Who's that? She's from this last. Oh, was she the runner up?

No, she was just the evil one. I didn't watch the last season. I think that's, she had like the whole evil portrayal thing. Oh, she did? Yeah, I don't know. Sweet girl, though. What was the most unexpected conversation you had? I can't say

Shut up Shut up You know how liquor gets it involved You gotta say some crazy shit Yeah You did Oh can you tell me after Yeah I could tell you

Okay Who surprised you the most In real life The girls I just I thought like You know you look at girls from Instagram You just think they're all the same There's like no much

There's not a lot of depth Shame on you I know I know I met a lot of influencers In my life And no you're you ain't wrong They're not like far apart Like I said, I can even add, I can even add Rachel Nance to the list as well.

Yeah. Hilarious. We have like this evil relationship going back and forth. She actually, I ran into her one time when I was on a date. Really? I sat across from her and I was like, oh my God. And I like, I went to the bathroom right away. I was like, hey, I got to go to the bathroom.

And I went and called Greg. I'm like, yo, you wouldn't know. So I was like, oh, oh, yeah. Yeah, it's nice to meet you. Like, how are you doing? She's like, I'm good. Like my date, I went to the bathroom. She was like, um, she was like, oh, so are you on a date?

I was like, yeah, yeah, I'm on a date. She's like, how long, you know, I was like, oh, it's the first time I'm meeting her. She was like, do the dating apps? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I was just kind of like, dang, like, what are you doing later? No, no, no. This doesn't work out. This date doesn't go well.

Yeah. No, and she was like, yeah, as if, which is like really funny. So now we have, like, this, like, banter. She, like, throws the hand in my face every time I come and talk to her, which is, like, really funny. Yeah, that's funny. But, yeah, no, I think Bachelor Nation kind of surprised you. Actually, I kind of surprised a lot of people, too. Yeah.

Everyone was like, oh, I thought you were an asshole. Wait, somebody came up to me. Who was that guy? Somebody from Bachelor World Hood didn't really know, really big eyes. Oh, Hakeem, yeah. Yeah, came up to me. And he goes, I'm really sorry that everyone has just preconceived notion that you're a bitch. Oh, that was his bit, I guess.

He was just doing it to everybody. Wow. Well, I was, I am an asshole. Really? Yeah, in a way. I'm not like I'm friendly because to people that I like know it's like a trust thing like I don't like to give too much of myself to people you're protecting your peace you're not me yeah yeah so I think that's one thing I will say okay last thing I talked about Jeff Ross and roasting and I know you have an issue with chat GPT but I ask them to roast you because I've been doing this for guests lately if it makes you feel better just go on it and roast me later and you'll be like oh shit they go there okay so there's a nice one and a mean one. Ready? Andrew Spencer is the kind of guy who says he's just here for the right reasons,

but brings more Instagram charisma than emotional availability. Okay. This man fumbled the bag on The Bachelorette harder than he fumbles footballs, and he used to play professionally. He's got the smile of a Disney prince, but the dating record of a Hallmark movie villain. And let's be honest, if Charm could win championships, he'd still be on the field.

But instead, he's out here playing tag with reality TV fame and TikTok trends. That one's very good That one's accurate That one's good Actually the next one isn't even as good As that That first one was good And it was the nicer one

So we'll leave it on that Okay That was good Okay Will you keep me posted on any If there is drama That happens at stage coach This weekend

Oh yeah I hope to be a part of it You do? No I'm just kidding It was like we just talked about this No no no kidding But thank you for coming on the podcast And that was so fun hanging out with you last night Absolutely I know

We got to do it again Whatever you're in Chicago Let me know We'll go to a baseball game Really? I love, I know the song. Go Cubs, I mean, it's like four words. I'm like, blanking on it.

I'm like, go Cubs, go, go, go. Hey, Chicago, what do you say? The Cubs are going to win today. Say, go, Cubs, okay, yeah, yeah. Beautiful. That's how we end.
