Speaker 2 (00:45):
Ask Bonya. So what inspired this episode was or some
of this episode was that Hannah Gee from whose Colton
season of The Bachelor answered someone's question on TikTok about
what were the flights and travel days like when you're
on the Bachelor. And it has been a long time
(01:05):
since that time of my life.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
It's crazy, how long has it been.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
I filmed the first season I did in twenty fourteen,
so ten years this September will be ten years.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
That's crazy. A decade, a decade, so crazy.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
And look at you, so much has happened, so much
has happened, so much has changed, and yet so much
has remained.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Yeah, so much.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
So yeah through the hour class Yeah yeah, yeah, are
the days of our lives.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
So when we were on the Bachelor, it was Christmas season.
Was really funny because I went on The Bachelor thinking
it was going to really fulfill my wonderlust desire to
travel and explore the world, because I was thinking, worst
case scenario, if I'm not into him, I'll go on
some cool helicopter rides and see new places. Not even
(02:02):
realizing that when you're filming something, you're not really leaving
and going off to explore. You're kind of at their mercy,
not kind.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Of your mercy, like you stuck in a hotel room.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Yeah, you're not going anywhere unless you're with the produce,
you know, with everybody.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
That's so lame. They should give you, guys, like free time.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Sometimes if there was a day in between the travel day,
you would have time off. But you you had you
were still with the producers and the cast. You know,
it was very and you'd have your phone, so you
were very attached to them because you couldn't really go
anywhere else.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Oh god.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
So anyways, the funny part about that is that I
thought I was going to explore the world, and we
stayed in the Midwest the whole time, so, right, I
did explore places that, yeah, the heartland of the USA.
I did explore places that I would never go to,
you know. So that was kind of cool in the sense,
and I have good memories from it. But we ended
(02:57):
up going to Bali, And I don't think when I
think about flying on Chris's season, I don't have a
memory of this. But on Ben's season, I remember we
took a flight to the Bahamas, and so it was
a small plane and they only have so many flights
out to the islands, you know, and Ben was in
first class and we were all in the same flight.
(03:17):
So Ben's in first class with his producer and handler
and then all of his girlfriends that he's dating at
the same time had to walk by him back to
our economy.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
So awkward. That is. So they also should have just
like had him come in the plane last. Right, He's
not just sitting there watching everybody pass.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
We were like, hey, Ben, and you can tell he
was embarrassed, Like, God, this is so awkward. But the
airports are really fun because we it was when they
first had vending machines for makeup stuff. Do you remember,
like the Bourbank Airport has it and some other airport benefit.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
Yeah, benefit.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Yeah, you would have thought that we had just stepped
into Mall of America. Like we went crazy. The duty
free stores, we went crazy and because it was all
we could do to shop, So my god, the airports
were just a thrill.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
How long were you gone all in like when you
left the house till when you came home? Like, what
did they tell you prepare for this many days of
like underwear and stuff?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Oh? Well, I mean the time max was eight weeks,
so you had to pack.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
For eight weeks because eight times seven.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Eight times seven is fifty six.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
So do you have is that right?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Do you have to bring?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Do you have to bring fifty six pairs of underwear? Well,
there's a washing machine, so you guys just do your laundry.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
In the house. You do, and then once you go.
I mean, they have handlers and stuff. So if you
need if you need a makeup or if you ran
out of something that you need.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
To go buy you underwear like Victoria's Secret.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Yeah, I mean, are you like staining your underwear?
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Why can't you wash it in the sink in a
hotel room.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
No, like we they would you know, hotels have like
laundry service or they could ticket to fluff and fold
or something.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Oh so you just hear my producer man.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Now you just give them a bag and be like,
here's my clothes.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I don't know why that feels so like personal.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I mean, you really have to depend on these people.
You don't have your phone, and then the traveling to
different places without having anything to listen to on your phone,
or so much talking. Yeah, there was a lot of talking,
but we all had been talking so much that we
just wanted to space out and we couldn't do that.
So I remember going to Bali. Taylor Swift's nineteen eighty
(05:37):
nine had just come out, and I didn't have my phone.
So one of the producers, he his girlfriend Sammy, got
me for my birthday as the Taylor Swift CD. And
I went to Target during my hometowns because I had
time off during that, and I bought a CD player
(05:58):
and I listened to nineteen eighty nine on repeat for
the entirety of going to Bali. So whatever that was.
Speaker 6 (06:06):
Yeah, I have an airport question, okay, And I know
I should write in describing it Todaharty dot com.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
But I'm gonna circumvent.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
That, like this is VIP questionnaire.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
I heard from another former Bachelor person that when you
walk through especially the international airports, you're in a big
group and everyone's gonna everyone sees that. It's always like
stunding people walking in a big group, and you can't
just be like.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
We're filming The Bachelor.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
Yeah, so what would you say if, like, was there
a rule of like if people ask you what's going on?
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Who are you?
Speaker 2 (06:34):
We said we were on I think we had to
say we were on like a just a group trip,
like a girls trip or something. I don't think we.
Speaker 6 (06:42):
Because I think Ben was saying that they it was
like a girl's soccer team or something.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Yeah, like it was a sports team something like that.
Where we were, we were just a traveling team of
some sort like yellow jackets. Yeah, yes, but no one
knew thank you who you know? At that point we
were on TV, so no one knew us our faces.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
Because I think now even if you're non TV, if
you see like one man in the metro like sending women,
it's like, oh, it's the Bachelor's here, you know.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
But yeah, and that time is so different because social
media wasn't so And.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Do they also tell you this is how many cocktail
ceremonies that you should bring, like dress wise.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Like they literally send you a list of what you
need to bring cocktail dresses, winter close, summer close, spabay suits,
and it's like pack for eight weeks. Pack is if
you're going to be there.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
For a how many suitcases did you have?
Speaker 2 (07:30):
You're only allowed to bring two, two big suitcases and
I think I had to carry on, but like you're
having to you know, wash stuck and be responsible for
your stuff still. So and then when you get to hotels,
you're still having to share rooms, so you have to
think of space in terms of you.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Get to pick who you shared your room with or
did they just sign okay, it's nice.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
So I was with Kaitlin Bristow during Chris's season that
it was with Jojo Ben season, and naturally that's who
you become closest to because you kind of like, once
you take your mic off and you go to sleep,
that's kind of your only time to kind of talk
about that. And it's weird because you're dating the same guy,
so you're like I don't want to talk too much
(08:12):
about this, but how did your day go? But I
don't tell me too much like Jojo and you know Jojo,
so like when she would come back and from a
date and be like so excited, I was like, oh, like,
as your friend, I want to know, but damn, that
is not looking like a positive thing from my experience. Yeah,
so yeah, that was It was really interesting. And then
(08:34):
on Benzi's and I stuck my old phone on so
I had music to listen to on the flight. So
Jojo and I would like share an earphone on the flights.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
I think she emailed her dad one time for my phone.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Oh wow, rebels.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
And then I texted Caitlin Bristow. I message her on
Instagram and I was like, I don't think Bens's into
me as the other girls, and she goes no, like
the producers are probably telling him to not act interested,
so that like you're.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Not catch go on.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
But she was with the outside just once.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Yeah, And then I listened to music and that was it. Yeah.
So yeah, that was a little bts, little bts.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Oh my god, sorry, I tried to get my mic
and then I I had to pivot Yeah, it happened fast.
It happened really fast.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Oh, and then other people were asking about hair, nail
and tanning appointments while you were on the show. We
all did our own nails. So if you got your
nails done before the show, once you're if you got
jels or something, once they were grown out, you would
either just have to like the pick them off, because
the smarter thing to do would be to go with
your nails painted and then bring nail polish because there's
(09:46):
so much downtime. I did my I got so good
at doing my nails because we would have nothing else
to do. We would just be sitting in the hotel
or the house, and if you weren't doing an interview
or girl chat where they have you like talking to
other girls, like let's paint her nails. Have TV. I
feel like they've loosened up a lot, I see. I
feel like there's tiktoks and stuff of the girls that
(10:07):
from this season, and maybe it's just on producer's phones,
Like maybe the producers are a little more privy to
like trends and they're thinking ahead of like let's film
this and then when it airs you can post it.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Oh, because I like on Love Island that they all
have phones that they can like take pictures and videos
on Like I'm like, that's cute.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
But I loved not having my phone. And then I
got it back and I found out my great grandma
had passed away. Like it was so it was it
was a really weird word it was weird. I had
just gotten dumped and then I was so excited to
talk to my family and then they told me my
great grandma passed away, But the producers didn't want My
mom called them because she had their number in case
(10:45):
of emergency, and they were like, well, there's two more
days left, you know, it's almost the end. Do you
want us to tell her? And my mom was kind
of like, I mean if I guess, not, Like I
don't know, right. So it was a strange strange I'm crazy.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Yeah, it's literally like you put into a vortex.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
You really are. That's why when people are like, how
do you fall in love within this timeframe? It's like, well,
what else do you have to do before? What else
do you have to do? But like talk about this
guy that they had styled and with a nice colonneal
on that I.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Were fall in love with like the egg carton in
my fridge.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Given so much for you to have gone on the Bachelor.
I think if you hadn't met Robbie, I would have
really gunned hard for that.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
You know that. I early when Rob and I were
early days before he and I were boyfriend girlfriend, I
was like really considering it, and I almost wish that
I would have done it because he wasn't committing to me. Remember,
he was like, I'm not ready to be boyfriend girlfriend.
I was like, well, then I'm going to go on
the Bachelor, Dude, I wish I When.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
When did he not want to be boyfriend and girlfriend?
Speaker 1 (11:51):
So we became boyfriend girlfriend early February of twenty twenty. Yeah,
we met in November of twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Oh and you got on the other day. That's what
it did.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Yeah, and that like I think it was maybe like
two or three weeks of time. I really wish I
would have gone on the Bacheler, But it's a short window.
Speaker 7 (12:08):
There's an alternate universe right now where you're missus Clayton Eckert.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Was that the season, I don't know, it's just a couple.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
Of years ago.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Maybe you'll be dancing together TikTok dancing together.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
That's pretty crazy that he was the Bachelor, because I
don't think he and I are a match.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
What about Matt James or Zach shallacross?
Speaker 1 (12:26):
No, I think they just got worse and worse. I
think I lecked out.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
I think everything worked at house supposed to be. You
could be planning meals and family meetings with one of
those guys.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Could you imagine? No?
Speaker 2 (12:39):
I really couldn't. No. And then there was one more.
Someone asked during hometowns, where do you sleep at your
childhood home with your family during my hometown I I
think after you film your hometown, they like you spend
time with your family for like thirty minutes. I need
to confirm this. In it like it's short. You get
(13:00):
to like say hey and recap, but then it's like
they're taking me back to the bubble. But mine was
on my birthday and so Chris I went to say
bye to him and he was like, actually have a
surprise for you, and he took me to the fair
was in town during that time in my hometown, which
is very dangerous. I don't know, you just don't. It's
(13:28):
not what it used to be.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
There's a gross.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Yeah, mister sunshine dumper.
Speaker 7 (13:37):
I've never been called mister sunshine number before. I see
your point, though, you're saying on Monday, I had a
different You're gonna take a lot for me to come around.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
On fairs, They're definitely not known as being hygienic, but
they are fun.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
It's food and freedom and child community community.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Know the area where I'm from, isn't its like wholesome
like that? It seems tan, Yeah, look it up, let
me know what you think. So anyways, they the fair
had shut down, but they opened it up for us
to go and we wrote the Ferris Wheel. So it
was like a very romantic thing. But I was kind
of sad because I wanted to hang out with my family,
like I had missed them so much. So I was like,
(14:15):
this is really sweet and I want to Okay, I
don't know my family.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Red flag like, you are not in love with this dude.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
I had spent a total of ten hours with him. Yeah,
I was not in love with them.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
I'm just saying I would have my spidy senses would
be like, I'm not that into you.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Yeah, looking back, yeah, I can see that. Yeah, I
can see what you're saying, yeah, is this.
Speaker 6 (14:36):
The state fair of Louisiana. Yeah, oh wow, Louisiana. Feed
your soul.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
The food was crazy, but that's pretty typically.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
Like I met my.
Speaker 7 (14:45):
Wife at a state fairs, so I don't want, you know,
but still I get super I know you do.
Speaker 2 (14:51):

Speaker 3 (14:53):
I love that.
Speaker 6 (14:54):
I love them with so much of my Heart's not
to love They're so special.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Yeah. Yeah, it's like.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
It's like the best of humanity in four squares at mine.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
You could get shot at any point. So that's what
I mean when I say they're not safe. Oh but
I see what you're saying.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
The games, rock firearms, beer beer testing rides that have
been set up seventeen times in seventeen cities in the
last seventeen days.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
That is a little freaky. But you got to risk
it to get the biscuit sometimes and then would be
a fried biscuit outside.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
We were at a fair.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
We were at a fair.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
I think it was over the It was, yeah, it
was over last summer. It was right before Rob and
I got engaged, and we were doing bumper cars at
this fair and this woman was like in line to
go to the bumper cars and she's like Robbie out
of gar and I was like, and uh, it turns
(15:53):
out that this was like the first girl he ever
kissed in his life, like his very first kiss. And
she was in line. So I met her and then
I met her wife and then a.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
Little more comfortable.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Are you so happy about this? Yeah? I understand.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
And then it was cute. We took a picture and
I was like, your first kiss and your last. I know,
I thought it was pretty cute too.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Well. Fairs are special for a lot of people, and
Mark he met his wife. He says, I did.
Speaker 7 (16:26):
I met my wife with the Wisconsin's Day Fair, so I'll
back down. That's fine, But I just genuinely speaking, I've
been to a lot of like county fairs, and they're disgusting.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Do you like a corn dog?
Speaker 5 (16:37):
Not really?
Speaker 7 (16:38):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Oh wow?
Speaker 7 (16:40):
I mean, you know, I it's father fine, but no, no,
I don't seek out corn dog.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
No.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
I'd rather like a hamburger or like a beady at taco.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
Yeah, and carnies.
Speaker 6 (16:49):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
I don't have this to become a fair thing.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
But the Santa Cruz County Fair from my hometown has
a jingle and it's my favorite thing. There's no better
way to have more fun in one day the Santa
Cruz County Fair.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
I love it, to say, Easton, And I know that
this is going to come across as a backhanded compliment.
I don't mean it to be that way. I think
that you could be a really good singer if you
like took less like. I think you have the tone
for it and the strength.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Thank you very much, figuring that that truly does me wrong.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
But saying that he seeks with just freedom and there's
no like structure to it. I hear the potential.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
And I respect that.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Thank you.
Speaker 7 (17:37):
He doesn't like hold back because he might not be
a great singer. He doesn't care about that.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
He's going to sing.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Singer.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Yes, well, you're very kind of saying thank you.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
You know, fill your diet first all.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
I'm the only one that's going to keep it real
here and I have no future, no no, But I
like the way you sing. It's unabashed, it's confident, and
I enjoy wa. I just don't think you have like
a grande vibes.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
I didn't say that, but I was saying more like you.
I could see you like playing in guitar and wear
a cowboy boots guitar, just any other good voice.
Speaker 6 (18:14):
If you If you guys want to see me play guitar,
it's musical music, go to YouTube watch nachos but Easton
Allen I recorded a whole album in ten and with
the help of auto tune, and it's a great sounding voice.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Love and I just covered you.
Speaker 7 (18:31):
That would be a fun segment on the show, but
it's not legal. Would be for to sing karaoke on
this show. I think that would be a fun thing,
but we can't do it because you can't have music
on the show.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
But I think it would be.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Fun royalty free music.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
We can't sing along, plain that we can't.
Speaker 7 (18:44):
I think it'd be really funking a karaoke contest some
week on the show.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
But Love is Blind, I mean, yeah, the Love is
Blind songs that are just royalty free and we're just
just it's like Love is Hard Corner.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
I know they don't need to talk to the Love
Island producers because the Love Island producers know what's up
with you.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
If they get license music, I think.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Whatever, then get a license and they're.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Like, no, we're just gonna use it. Okay, We're gonna
take a break and we will be right back. All right,
(19:33):
we are back. I think we have a couple of emails,
so you do well.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
That's the whole point of this episode, I believe.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Yeah, so take it away.
Speaker 7 (19:43):
All right, I'd be happy to Uh. This is from Laura.
First off, I want to say the podcast is such
a great start to my week. I wanted to know
how you handle jealousy or insecurity in your relationships with
with Tanya. It helps if his acts is dating another woman,
but in general, I've been dating my boyfriend for two years.
He recently started work I'm get a sports agency and
travels a lot. While he has never given me any
(20:03):
reason to be insecure, I am losing my mind when
he's away. We're in constant contact, but I know the
sports world can be filled with groupies, and I'm scared
he will one day give into temptation. This is my person,
so when he tips, any of you can give to
keep me sane, please bring them on. I hope your
podcast stays on for another fifty years.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
That is very sweet.
Speaker 7 (20:24):
That's a fun we wishing you do that someday. What
this show will be like in the year twenty seventy four,
I mean, I'd.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Like to be doing this show for the next fifty years,
but Becca, I feel like this is probably better for you.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Yeah, I mean I I think I've expressed on the
podcast how challenging I've had, like really challenging moments when
Haley's gone, especially on tour because it's for an extended
amount of time. I don't know what helps, Like, I
really don't know what I mean. Therapy couples say has
(21:00):
helped us a lot, But I also think that the
thing that really helped is when I started explaining to
her what makes me feel insecure and what would make
me feel more secure, that realistic things that she can
do because obviously she can't fly back and be with
me to comfort me, But what are things she can
do while she's a way that make me feel safe?
And I think the first step is expressing those concerns
(21:21):
and not in a way. I think it's important to
let your partner know that you trust him, it's just
your own insecurities, because I realized a lot of I
kept when I was in therapy. I kept thinking about
why am I feeling insecured? Is it that I don't
trust her? Because if I don't trust her. What is
she doing that makes me out trust her? And I
couldn't think of anything. It wasn't It wasn't that I
(21:42):
didn't trust her. It was that I felt insecure about
her being gone and her spending time and having experiences
with other people, which was really hard for me to
realize because getting jealous or insecure about your partner having
fun experiences that you're not involved in and acknowledge that
that made you feel bad, it is like a vulnerable
(22:04):
thing to face because I'm like, I want you to
have experiences and I don't care that they're with other people,
and yet it makes me feel sad and left behind
or something. So once I was able to figure that
out and really and then Haley's thing was that she
loves to recap, so like she wanted to tell me
(22:25):
about her days, but I was hearing about things that
made me feel sad, so I would be like, I
don't even know if I want to hear about this,
but then she felt like I didn't care. So it
was kind of finding that balance and being able to
support your partner and doing what they love and knowing
that you trust them, but also working on yourself while
they're gone because I think the biggest thing was filling
(22:46):
time with friends. And there were times where I just
didn't want to be around anybody, But the only thing
that made me feel better was being around people or
doing something that kept my brain away from wondering what
Haley was doing. Like she's on stage, I'm like, why
she's performing right now? Why am I wondering what she's doing?
And so I think it's just finding that safety. But
(23:06):
I also think couple therapy has helped a lot because
it was kind of us figuring out where we were
meeting in that because I'd be like, I don't feel
safe and she's like, well you every time I try
to talk to you don't want to hear about it.
I'm like, because I don't feel safe. So it's just
I don't know, it's just finding that communication.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
I think that's a big part of it, is like
being able to be open and honest about about how
you're feeling and why you're feeling that way, and expressing
that you do trust your partner, but it still makes
you feel a certain type of way. So sometimes it's
like I remember my therapist always said things that like
really would blow my mind, but she was like, two
things can be true at the same time. So you
(23:46):
know how like Casey Musgraves haves the song happy and Sad,
It's like somebody can be happy and sad at the
same time with like different stuff that's going on in
their life, you know what I mean, Like two things
like that can exist. So I feel like you can
feel jealous and insecure and he can also be doing
absolutely nothing wrong and be like the most absolutely loyal
partner ever and both things can be true at the
(24:08):
same time. And so I think it's just being able
to express to him that you're feeling a certain type
of way and then like allowing him to just hear
it and just and do with that what he feels
is right, you know. Like I remember, it's really interesting
when you start dating a guy that has two kids,
because I'll never forget Teddy told me this and it
really stuck with me. She was like, you know, when
(24:29):
you're newly dating a guy and you're not spending all
your time with that person, they go on golf trips
with their dudes and they do this stuff with their dudes.
Like Robbie never did that. It was he was with
me or he was with his kids. Like I never
had to like question what he was doing or where
he was or you know what I mean. Like I
always I knew if he wasn't with me, he was
with the kids. And it was kind of how our
(24:50):
relationship has always been, like it's me and the kids,
and that's kind of what he fills his life with.
And I remember the first time he told me he
was getting coffee with this like girlfriend of his from
high school. I got insecure about it, Like I got
really weird about it. And in my mind, I'm like,
I trust him completely. He's never given me one like
I trust him with everything in me. I trust this
(25:11):
even though I don't really know the woman. I was like,
I do trust the one, Like there's nothing in here
that I should be insecure or upset about, and yet
I was. And so I just like said it. I
was like, I just it makes it feel turned away
because I never have had to experience that with you before,
you know, like I've just never had this, so it's
like weird. So he just heard me out and then
you know it was what it was.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Yeah, I also think it's you going thinking to yourself, Okay,
in this situation that we're in What are things, realistic
things that he can do to make me feel safe
in this? And it like for me, it was like
she texts me throughout the day when when she's doing
something and it's like, hey, just checking in, or you know,
whenever she has a moment and has the capacity like
(25:53):
face timing, like we at least talk on the phone
or FaceTime at least once a day, but most of
the time it was two times a day.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
And like putting your picture on her hydroflask, you know,
means yeah, totally totally fine to ask for.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Yeah, but it couldn't. It's like you you can't be
controlling because that you want to. It's healthy to be
able to trust your partner with him going and doing
something like this and you working on yourself and finding
out where the insecurity stem from.
Speaker 7 (26:23):
Yes, I think that's a big part of this is
self esteem also, like you know, everything you're feeling is legitimate,
but also why do you feel like you're not enough
for him? Why do you feel like he's bound astray?
Why do you feel like right that he's the only
one you can get, you know, like if he if
he does stray, then he is not your person. You
say he's your person, but if he's stray, he's not,
and you can do as well or better than him.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
So and yeah, but we feel this need to control
like it's interesting. It is so psychological.
Speaker 7 (26:51):
There you go, Good luck, Laura, thanks for listening to
our podcast. Uh April and Jan clarification on sleep smell.
April says, I don't know what that is. I have
to shower at night because of our schedules, and now
I'm worried that I smell at work. Can you explain
sleep smell? Jill said, I remember Becca metching that she
showers before bed to wash off the day. But does
she shower in the morning to get rid of sleep smell?
(27:12):
Does she wash your hair every day? Or is hair
exempt from sleep smell? Some clarification please.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Okay, so you don't know sleep smell, you probably have
sleep smell. So I hate to break it to you,
April and Jill, but you might have it. So I
look into that.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
I will never get into my bed without showering. That
is a mandatory. And then morning shower if I'm going somewhere,
like if I'm like like for instance, when I come
to the podcast, I shower if I work out or something,
I'm not going to shower before I work out, but
I'll shower after I work out. Just depends on my day,
I guess.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
So I shower every morning and every night. However, I
still believe that my two showers a day are still
shorter than your typical one shower a day because I
just I do the bits.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
You don't wash your feet, yeah, correct.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
I do a quick come in there, armpits, you know,
private parts, face, and I'm out to get the sleep off,
to get the sleep off. So in the morning, I
have to get the sleep off, which is why I
shower in the morning, and then at night. I do
not get into my bed without showering. But I sweat
when I sleep, so I have to shower. I have
to shower.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
I don't sweat when I sleep, but I don't wash
my hair.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Every day, neither do I.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
But the sleep smell with the hair, I just will.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
It could get your hair could get sleep smell if
you let it go long enough.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Do you want to hear the really unfortunate news. It's
it's not sleep smell when it's the hair. It's more
like what like dirty scalp which if you've been in
an uber, you know there's certain ubers where you smell
the dirty scalp smell. Okay, okay, I use dry shampoo,
(28:56):
and I literally will make hair. I'll be like, does
my hair smell? Because if she says yes, I'm washing it,
and she's always like, no, it sounds like it sounds
like come like perfume because of my try shampoo.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
So I used to wash my hair every single day.
Also because I used to work out every single day,
and I get like sweaty and gross. Now that I'm
doing more pilates and less like sweaty exercises, I don't
wash it every day, and that is something that concerns me.
The smell, the smell, the scout smell.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
You should ask Robby. You gotta have the trust with you.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Let me tell you something. He didn't have a sense
of smell for many years.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
I had advantage of it. Yeah, I use it for good.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Take a whoof in here? It does that smell like?
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Yeah? So I don't know what to tell you. I
I just know that I do my best to avoid
smelling like sleep, and I try to. My goal every
day is for someone to tell me I smell good.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
But I also think too, if you're doing you're generally
hygienic person, do I smell?
Speaker 5 (29:53):
I never noticed smell I never noticed or bad.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
That's good because I don't really spray up on me, right,
I don't want the the endocrin disruptors. All right, I
try not to spray things on myself. But I don't
want to smell bad.
Speaker 5 (30:09):
You smell neutral. You just don't smell.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Okay. If you're an overall hygienic person, I don't think
you're gonna get sleep smell because to me, I think
sleep smells somebody like doesn't wash their sheets often like
it's it's it's pretty.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
I think smell stems from getting into your bed without
showering after being like doing stuff all, not.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Washing your sheets for like like weeks.
Speaker 7 (30:34):
Yes, so shower before a bad clean sheets. You're probably
not gonna have to sleep smell the next morning.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Generally speaking, I think you're okay.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
I think you're good. I think you're safe.
Speaker 5 (30:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (30:44):
I'd like to request one more break, please, okay, and
then we have a fun game from Mariette.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
That you sent in.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Okay, Mary, we'll be right back after this break. All right,
we are back with a game, A game.
Speaker 7 (31:11):
That a listener named Mariette sent in. She says, I've
really enjoyed the energy and laughter on the pod as
of late and wanted to contribute to it with a
fun game we recently played over the weekend. It's based
on you and your partners, and it's the who is
most likely to game. I've included questions below and what
generated the most laughter and chat in our game night.
So I'm thinking the way we do this, and I
don't know how the game is played, but I thought
it'd be fun if we read the who is more
(31:33):
likely to? Between Becca and Tanya and then Easton and
I guess who we think is more likely to and
then you guys can determine who's what the.
Speaker 5 (31:40):
Correct answer is.
Speaker 7 (31:42):
For example, Okay, number one, who was more likely to
smell their partner's clothing when folding them?
Speaker 5 (31:49):
Easton Tanya?
Speaker 7 (31:51):
Tanya, what do you guys think? Question about that? So
you have done that before? Yeah, just to kind of
get his musk.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Just to kind of just to see to see what
what it smells like.
Speaker 5 (32:07):
I don't know, Okay, is.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
This after a laundry or like you're putting thing that
went folding them, you wouldn't be folding dirty clothes.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
I don't like smell his like gym clothes, but I have.
I just don't do it on a regular.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
I didn't clean.
Speaker 7 (32:24):
Okay, if he's if he is, he ever gone, he's
out of town and you smell something, he's warned, just
to kind of bring back the scent.
Speaker 5 (32:31):
No, okay, just check it all right? Next one? Uh East?
Speaker 7 (32:36):
Then what do you think, Becker Tanya? Who is most
likely to wake up and be in the mood for it?
Speaker 3 (32:42):
I don't know if we should define what it is.
Speaker 5 (32:46):
I guess we don't need to.
Speaker 6 (32:48):
Tanya.
Speaker 5 (32:48):
Yeah, Tanya, I.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Feel like she's a morning girly.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
I think I'm gonna say you. I think it could
be you.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Yeah, it is me for a morning tonight.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
I like a healthy balance.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
I'm too tired at night. Morning all the way.
Speaker 5 (33:10):
Okay, good good?
Speaker 7 (33:12):
Who Becca or Tanya would be the most likely to
be killed first if they were in a horror movie?
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Becca killed first, killed first?
Speaker 7 (33:20):
Let me think about that, killed first in a horror Yeah,
I think No, I think Tanya. I don't think if
Tanya is having a lot of like, you know, kind
of like that streets.
Speaker 5 (33:30):
I need to know to kill her on the loose.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Why this is like a no brainer?
Speaker 1 (33:36):
I thought it was you.
Speaker 6 (33:38):
I feel like I don't know how much fight you
have in you, and I also think you're bet.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
I don't doubt that.
Speaker 6 (33:46):
But I also feel like you might be the first
one in a like a zombie horde or something. I
think you might be the first one to like just
resign to your fate, like.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
Should give up in a zombie thing. See. Wow, this
is interesting because this is so not my character, like
how I think I'm viewed. I'm very athletic and fast.
So I'm voting Tanya, I.
Speaker 7 (34:13):
Say, because I feel like Tanya is very trusting of people,
and if there's a if a horror movie with a
killer on the loose, she's more likely to.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Hug them in the house.
Speaker 5 (34:22):
Yes she would, he would say, yeah, paranoid.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
So I know, I think this is back all the way.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
She scrubbers to weigh in.
Speaker 5 (34:33):
On the what's your reasoning for?
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Because who is most likely to be killed first if
they were in a horror movie?
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Right?
Speaker 1 (34:44):
So I think that I can run faster than you.
Speaker 5 (34:48):
Okay a video.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Video?
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Oh my god. I also think that I would know
all the exits of wherever I am. Like, I don't
think you go into a movie theater and look for
all the exits.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
I'm very paranoid about scary things.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
I also think I would duck and cover. I'd find
like a small little hole to curl up in, and
I feel like you would like try and fight them.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
No, I would just run because I'm faster.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
I just disagree.
Speaker 7 (35:22):
We're gonna go down right here, or we could go, uh,
I know, the sidewalk over here.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
In California or on the corner from California riverside because long.
Speaker 5 (35:36):
To run barefoot today.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
Because I need to go.
Speaker 5 (35:41):
I got my But I think that would be a very.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Good Yeah, that's really.
Speaker 5 (35:46):
Good, Crystal. You might need to come up for that one.
Who is the bigger baby when sick?
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Definitely me?
Speaker 1 (35:51):
I'm going back and for sure, back up, I rule
the world when I'm sick.
Speaker 7 (35:56):
Who is the most likely to fall asleep while being
intimate Easton? I don't know, I say Becca. Tanya's eyes
never close even in those situations. I feel like her
eyelids never touch each other.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
She's tired. Yeah, so I think that a self admission.
Speaker 5 (36:15):
Yeah, that's true. I think if your eyes always wide open.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
That is true when I'm awake, but if I'm asleep,
they're closed fair enough, So if I were sleeping, then
they would be.
Speaker 5 (36:26):
That's sure. Who gives better directions? Becca, I could see.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
That, sure, like getting somewhere.
Speaker 6 (36:37):
Yeah, I feel like Tanya would be making up a
lot of words in streets.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
And yeah, I probably have a better sense of direction too.
Speaker 7 (36:44):
That's the questions less reliant on their GPS.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
Yeah, probably me?
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 7 (36:49):
Our last one here for Mariette and thank you Marriette.
Who would be the first to crack if you couldn't
talk or see each other for a month?
Speaker 5 (36:56):
We know that one. I mean, that's that's pretty clearly.
Tan you Oh, I like a month? An hour?
Speaker 2 (37:11):
Definitely want to go a month before you cried?
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Yeah, that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (37:16):

Download it on your parents.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
Give us ratings, give us five stars. Please. We really
should have been better. We you know, throughout the years,
we should have really encouraged our listeners to do that,
but we've never really been consistent with.
Speaker 7 (37:40):
I always that always wrote me the wrong way when
podcasts tell me to leave a five star review for them,
I don't do it.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
If you could, yeah, just rate.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
And off pudding. But if you have some time and
he liked her episode.

I sure want it anyways. We love you so much
and we'll baby that
