Leia
Are you guys the type of people that need to be at an airport like way before your flight?
Natalie
I am. I like to get a coffee sometimes I like to browse the gift shop.
Sierra
I need two hours.
Natalie
Yeah, I don't like any security.
Sierra
I need pat down every time.
Dylan
So I need a cushy little window. But I'm cool right in the dangerous.
Sierra
And those hands weren't inside out when they pat me down.
Kelly O'Hara
I was like, girl, girl, are we ready?
Boston Rob
You're craz.
Nick Viall
What's going on, everybody? Welcome back to another episode of the Vile Files Reality Recap edition. I am your host, Nick. You watch Baby Girl.
Kelly O'Hara
You want to start there, Baby Girl?
Nick Viall
Thank you for watching it without me.
Kelly O'Hara
Honestly, I felt like I'm. I'm really glad I watched it at home. If I were one of those people who went to the movie theater and sat beside other people while I watched that, I would have really struggled.
Nick Viall
Is it hot?
Kelly O'Hara
You know, I wish it would have been maybe a little bit more relatable.
Nick Viall
Kinks when I was a child.
Kelly O'Hara
Oh boy. Interesting.
Nick Viall
I just always remember movies were rated G, PG, PG13R. And it was like NC17, but you never really heard of those movies. And it was basically porn. But like they never came out with a movie that was like NC17. Should this be NC17, not porn?
Kelly O'Hara
No. I mean, there was really not as much nudity as I like went in expecting there to be.
Nick Viall
Then what's the problem?
Kelly O'Hara
But Nicole Kidman does have an amazing pair of boobies, I will say so.
Sierra
We get to see them.
Kelly O'Hara
We get to see Nicole Kidman's.
Nick Viall
Boobies.
Kelly O'Hara
I don't know. But anything Nicole Kidman does, I'm a. I'm a fan of. I'll watch. But like I said, I wish it was maybe a little bit more relatable. Kinks. I don't know. And maybe this is me, like, kink shaming people, but I don't know how many women want to be treated like a dog.
Nick Viall
When you say treated like a dog.
Kelly O'Hara
It was like, get on your hands and knees and put a treat in his hand and wanted her to crawl over and eat the tree out of his hand type of thing.
Nick Viall
No, thanks.
Kelly O'Hara
You know, so it was like, whose.
Nick Viall
Kink was that, his or hers?
Kelly O'Hara
I think both of theirs, obviously.
Dylan
She's 57.
Kelly O'Hara
Did you watch it?
Nick Viall
Defying gravity and time.
Kelly O'Hara
Exactly. But, you know, it definitely. It went a lot of places I didn't see it going. There was a lot of, like, oh, my God. Okay.
Nick Viall
Did you enjoy it?
Kelly O'Hara
Um, it was a nice way to pass.
Nick Viall
What was river doing?
Kelly O'Hara
She was asleep. She was napping. She was napping. And I thought, what a good time to, like, watch this movie that I've heard so many mixed reviews about. And I will say, Harris. Harry. Harry Dickinson.
Dylan
Harris Dickinson.
Kelly O'Hara
Harris Dickinson. Handsome man, easy to be like, okay, I want to watch him and Nicole Kidman. But it was just very odd. It was really odd. I think my. My main takeaway is, like, I wish it. I think it would have landed better with the women if it was, like, a relatable.
Nick Viall
Was Harris more appealing to you in the first five minutes of the movie or in the last five minutes of the movie?
Sierra
Ooh, good question.
Kelly O'Hara
Well, definitely the first, for sure. But then it's weird because then, like, it's all about. She, like, has this affair on her husband. Her husband's like, this French man, and then he, like, ends up submissing the husband. Is that the right word?
Nick Viall
Dominating? No.
Kelly O'Hara
Dominating the husband.
Sierra
Oh, so we have, like, Harris.
Kelly O'Hara
Harris. So it's like he has some superpower suddenly.
Sierra
I'm watching.
Kelly O'Hara
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, not, like to that extent, but definitely to an extent where you're like, I wouldn't expect that to be his reaction.
Dylan
Is it like the husband is, like, in the closet watching this happen situation?
Kelly O'Hara
No.
Dylan
Okay.
Kelly O'Hara
No.
Dylan
Okay.
Nick Viall
So it's not a. It's not a cucking a cuck.
Kelly O'Hara
No, no, no, no, no, no. It's like a. He's having a panic attack. And who does he go to for relief? The man who has been fucking his wife.
Nick Viall
When you say relief Like, Like a therapist.
Kelly O'Hara
Like, a big question. And his. And Nicole tries to, like, help him. This is very spoiler alert. So if anyone was trying to watch this movie, I'm very sorry.
Nick Viall
Well, you were giving a review.
Kelly O'Hara
I was giving a review.
Boston Rob
Yeah.
Nick Viall
If you haven't seen it by now, you don't get to, like, call dibs on a movie.
Dylan
It's been a minute.
Kelly O'Hara
It's been out since Christmas Day. We're February. We're in mid.
Dylan
We're in the fyc.
Kelly O'Hara
Christmas Day. Yeah, but. So he's, like, having a panic attack, and his, like, wife tries to comfort him. Nicole Kidman. And he's like, not you. And then Harris Dickinson is like, come here. Come here. And he's coming to. Harris. So very interesting. Very odd. Would I watch it again? I would not.
Dylan
Hot.
Kelly O'Hara
Would I recommend it? Probably not.
Natalie
Yeah.
Kelly O'Hara
But if you love Nicole Kidman and, like, I mean, she's a phenomenal actress, so it was, like, fun to, you know.
Sierra
Did you like the club scene that everybody's talking about? Club scene where, like, she looks so lost and she's just standing there with, like, kiss.
Kelly O'Hara
Yeah. She kisses a girl in that scene, which this, like, extra gets to kiss Nicole Kidman. So pop off for her.
Natalie
Not a bad day at.
Kelly O'Hara
Not on a bad day at work. They were like, you're booked for the gig. And she was like, okay, here's my script. Wow.
Nick Viall
All she did was make out in the culture.
Kelly O'Hara
All she did. Yep.
Dylan
Why am I never God's favorite?
Kelly O'Hara
Honestly. Honestly.
Nick Viall
So it might be too short for that role.
Boston Rob
Wow.
Nick Viall
Wow.
Dylan
I'm too short to kiss Nicole Kidman.
Nick Viall
Isn't she really tall?
Kelly O'Hara
You can stand on a. I could.
Sam Asghari
Get on my tiptoes.
Nick Viall
Apple box. Okay.
Dylan
She was married to Tom Cruise. I'm probably the same height as that man.
Nick Viall
I didn't mean to.
Dylan
I can get the platforms.
Kelly O'Hara
But I will say I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Oh, yeah, I know.
Natalie
Why? What did he do?
Nick Viall
What I do.
Kelly O'Hara
It wasn't Nick physically. It was my own doing.
Natalie
What did you do?
Kelly O'Hara
I took a shower last night, washed my hair, and did not get all the conditioner out. And I found out this morning the back of my head is, like, crispy ass back there. So don't look.
Sierra
Yeah, the front looks good.
Kelly O'Hara
Don't look at the back. The back is out of my business. I can't see it. I don't know what's going on.
Nick Viall

Friday, Valentine's Day. Follow us Go to our Instagram or Vile Files Instagram for more information. If you want to sign up for the newsletter, information will be on our Instagram. So check it out. Well, Bachelor Nation is up in arms for two reasons. One, something Grant lied. I'm still very much team Grant, obviously on the episode on Monday night, Rose.
Natalie
Told Carolina that Grant told her that he was thinking of her while he was on stage with Carolina. Carolina went to Grant didn't say that Rose told him but by process of elimination he figured out that Rose told Carolina. This went to confront Rose to where Rose said I could have sworn I heard you say that. Now there is a clip resurfacing.
Nick Viall
Do we have the clip?
Sierra
We do.
Natalie
But I still kind of think mine and light I'm very much theory was kind of right though I think how he's saying it versus how she hurt.
Leia
Him back from saying, I told you so.
Natalie
Two different things.
Nick Viall
Very interested in you. Like, even today. Right.
Boston Rob
You know, the whole dancing thing on stage and everything.
Nick Viall
I was thinking about you. I don't want you to feel like I'm not paying attention because I am.
Kelly O'Hara
He also doesn't say, when I was dancing with Carolina, I was thinking about you. They were all dancing on stage at some point. So, like, he could have just been like, while everyone was dancing on stage, I was thinking about you. I didn't have a specify. Carolina.
Nick Viall
Leia's bursting at the seams. Please have a take.
Leia
This is what I think happened. I think that there was some miscommunication with Carolina and rose, and I think rose communicated the conversation the way that grant said it, where he was kind of just like, I was thinking of you guys while we were dancing. Right. Harmless statement, but Carolina statement. Yeah. I think what grant said was.
Nick Viall
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Okay. You're right. Yeah. Grant's was.
Leia
I think what Grant said was harmless. I don't think that he's at fault. I think what happened was Carolina inserted her name into the conversation that she had with rose, and she was like.
Nick Viall
You think Carolina is the messy one in this scenario?
Leia
I think Carolina is the one who is making this messy. I'm not saying she is necessarily doing it on purpose, But I do think that maybe she's embellishing. Maybe she is, like, inserting her name where it wasn't. And I think that when rose was maybe telling the story to maybe a larger group of people, Carolina miscommunicated what was said to her to grant and took it a little bit out of context, which made rose look really bad.
Kelly O'Hara
Well, Rose did say her and Carolina were having a private conversation while getting ready, and that's when.
Nick Viall
Yeah. And, well, I do think Carolina is a little messy. Whose team are you on here, Leia?
Leia
I'm on team rose and team grant. I think Carolina. I think we will come to find that Carolina.
Kelly O'Hara
Oh, I think this up a little.
Nick Viall
You think there's more to be revealed on this story?
Natalie
She thinks Carolina was being messy and added herself where rose was just saying, like, I was thinking of you while I was dancing on stage. And then Carolina adds in, while I was dancing with Carolina. Like, I think she's saying that Rose is saying it in, like, the general context of how grant said it and that Carolina is hearing it as a personal dig to her.
Kelly O'Hara
I think the biggest takeaway is bachelor needs to. And maybe you can give us some insight. And if they'd ever do it.
Nick Viall
Go Bravo.
Kelly O'Hara
But. Go Bravo. And give us a flash.
Nick Viall
Why don't they do flashbacks?
Natalie
I don't know.
Nick Viall
It could be messier.
Kelly O'Hara
They are taking. I mean, like, they did the Casa Amore on Bachelor in Paradise. Like, they. They aren't against, like, changing the secret sauce. Know the ingredients to the show, but.
Nick Viall
Like, they've done a flashback or two here or there, but it's not part of their.
Natalie
Like, it's more like introducing characters or like, reminding you who. What season people are from. But not, like, as evidence.
Kelly O'Hara
But it's like, that would have been the perfect example to do that because they knew it would stir up something online of people, like, pulling back the footage. It's like, you might as well just show us.
Nick Viall
The problem in this particular drama is that Grant did. It does appear that Grant technically did say the thing that Rose claimed that he did say. I do think. I think Rose is the messiest person in the scenario. Carolina, she clearly is messy. Like, that's. That. That's been evident.
Dylan
You know, like, she's grinding with that man on a stage.
Nick Viall
But, like, why. In what context did Rose need to say this? Like, why is she. Why is she speaking on conversations that her and Grant are having and, you know, with someone else? It's like she said it for a reason. And that reason is what, other than being messy?
Natalie
I could kind of believe, too, that maybe it's a little, like, one upping, like, where they're just kind of like, oh, yeah, well, I had this special moment. Like, oh, my God, well, my special moment or whatever. And that's what I'm saying is that maybe one person didn't take things personally where the other person did.
Nick Viall
I feel for Grant because in this, I believe that when he was like, I would never say that, and this speaks on my character that he was. In that moment, he thought he was telling the truth. Yeah, I really believe that.
Natalie
100.
Nick Viall
And I like the way that it was delivered from Rose and the context that was delivered. I think Grant heard that and was like, I would never do something like that. Like, I would never just. Yeah, he just, like, I would never do something like that. And I do think it was a throwaway comment. And he's again, like, he's trying to manage, literally manage a group of women because they're all looking at him as, like, kind of like, what should we do next? You know, he's supposed to solve all the problems, and he's supposed to make them all feel good and seen and heard and validated. It's like, it's a minefield and he's just trying to survive this minefield. Grant was collateral damage here.
Boston Rob
Yeah.
Nick Viall
And like, again, Rose was just messy. She was so, so messy. Why?
Natalie
I have a soft spot for Rose.
Leia
Carolina was messy because Carolina is the one who told Grant the story. Rose was just there when Grant went to her and said, did you say this? And she was like, I thought I heard that. But Carolina is the one who communicated the conversation back to Grant.
Nick Viall
If.
Kelly O'Hara
I mean, listen, if I. Yeah, if anyone's going to change the story, it be Carolina.
Nick Viall
Except listen, if. If I'm Carolina. Right, if you're Carolina, like, wouldn't you be a little perturbed that if Grant in fact said that.
Natalie
Yeah.
Nick Viall
Like, you know, she's having a moment and like in Bachelor world, any one on one time, no matter where it is or what context is, it's like, it's. It's like winning the lottery. It's like you're programmed to be like, this is the biggest deal in the world. And she heard that her friend, another woman like, that the bachelor, was like, yeah, I was thinking about you when I was dancing with her. Wouldn't that wouldn't kind of annoy you? That wouldn't make you feel a certain way.
Natalie
I could see how it's annoying. But also I'm like, you just got off of a private jet Vegas date. He's literally like hearing you out and like giving you all of this attention and validation.
Nick Viall
Who started this?
Natalie
Who started what?
Nick Viall
This whole thing.
Natalie
Carolina. How she came home, Rose did.
Sierra
It was never a thing until Carolina made it a thing.
Nick Viall
It was never a thing until how my Carolina spiraled. It was never a thing until Rose said something to Carolina. It started there. If Rose doesn't say anything to Carolina, it doesn't go anywhere.
Natalie
But you don't know what Carolina said to Rose. To where Rose felt comfortable to say that to Carolina and Rose spiral. But Carolina did.
Nick Viall
Yeah, we are. We don't know. What we do know is that Rose brought it up to Carolina.
Boston Rob
Right.
Natalie
And we also know that Carolina not only spiraled, said she wish she never went on her one on one with Grant. Because this comment was so, like, broke her down so much after she said.
Nick Viall
That'S after Rose said, if Rose would.
Kelly O'Hara
Have said this to one of the other women who were there because he did not say while Carolina and I were dancing, he just said while every. Everyone was dancing or while we were dancing, you were on my mind. So if she would have gone to Latia and been like, oh, my God. Grant said that, like, he was thinking of me while, like, everyone was dancing or like, while, like, y'all were dancing or, like, while he was. She wouldn't have been like, oh, my God, I have to go to Grant and be like, what the.
Nick Viall
I feel like what you're saying is making my point.
Kelly O'Hara
Okay.
Nick Viall
No, period. She went to Carolina.
Natalie
We're just saying that.
Leia
Carolina messy, not Rose. We think. We think this whole thing.
Kelly O'Hara
I mean, they're both messy. They're both messy.
Nick Viall
We know that Carolina is messy in general. But this particular dilemma. Rose started it. She did do. You can't. How can you argue that anyone started it but Rose.
Kelly O'Hara
Rose told Carolina about a private conversation.
Nick Viall
She had with Grant that she should not have said. She shouldn't have said to anyone.
Kelly O'Hara
We don't have the footage of that because it was off camera and off Mike, so we don't have footage of that. We're just going off of what Carolina is saying back to Grant.
Nick Viall
What could have Carolina said that would have made Rose in a position to be like, well, he was thinking about me too. Like, why did she need to say that? In what context was that a nice thing to say to someone? Maybe opening up about a special moment she thought she had with Grant?
Sierra
Hey, girl. How are you doing?
Nick Viall
Like, but, like, explain to me, like, in what he was thinking about me.
Kelly O'Hara
While he was dancing.
Nick Viall
In what world is that not a messy thing to do?
Kelly O'Hara
You're right. No, you're right. That is messy.
Leia
No, I think in a world where you're debriefing with your girlfriends and it's like, oh, my God, he said the sweetest thing to me, and she wasn't.
Nick Viall
You're dating the same guy.
Leia
Thinking that Carolina would put herself into that story. So Rose probably just like.
Nick Viall
So Rose isn't thinking, but Carolina's messy.
Leia
Well, Rose, because what he said was, when we were dancing, I was thinking of you. And he never said when me and Carolina were dancing. And Rose probably just said, like, oh, he said the sweetest thing to me. Like, he said that, like, when we were all dancing, he was thinking of me.
Kelly O'Hara
But we don't know Carolina.
Nick Viall
You're just making up. And again, like, the fact that Grant. You're right. The fact that Grant didn't specify Carolina and that Rose said something to Carolina. She made Carolina feel like that's exactly what Grant said. We don't know, but we know she said something. We know she started it.
Kelly O'Hara
I think we have a bigger dilemma than this.
Sam Asghari
Yeah.
Nick Viall
What's that? Oh, yeah. Well, Bachelorette is canceled.
Sierra
Sure, that too.
Kelly O'Hara
My biggest dilemma, definitely all because of this feud.
Dylan
I can't sleep at night.
Kelly O'Hara
It was going to be Rosary Carolina, but now canceled because of this. No, I mean, that is kind of fucked up. Apparently Rachel Recchia said that like they had already picked one and she knew who it was and they were like.
Nick Viall
I find that highly unbelievable that they've already picked one. It's February. If listen, anything's possible. But it would be the first time in my experience with this franchise of over a decade that they would have selected a Bachelorette this early. If they're going to pick a Bachelorette from the most current season, they let the season play out. They find out who the fan favorites are. They see what people think. They wait certainly until like women tell all taping to get a sense of like who the fan favorites are, but.
Kelly O'Hara
They definitely don't pick the fan favorite. We've seen that time.
Nick Viall
Sure. Again, I understand that. But like, they also, you know, they, they see there's no reason at this point to like make a selection. Have they had conversations with a handful of the women to see if they would be interested? Probably, possibly. That could be five or six. I do believe that maybe a conversation was had with one of the women and that person went around telling everyone they were asked to be the Bachelorette and then found out because that happens all the time. But I think it's crazy that they are putting it on pause.
Dylan
Well, another kind of rumor is that basically Mormon Wives is going to replace the Bachelor Times lot.
Natalie
That's interesting, but isn't Mormon Wives only an hour long? And Bachelor is too.
Nick Viall
Bachelor is usually two.
Sierra
And also I know back in October they announced that Variety announced actually that Hulu was where Mormon Wife Season 2 was going to be.
Nick Viall
Well, what's interesting is that Rob Mills who runs unscripted for abc, he's also in charge of Hulu and Disney. So he's kind of in charge of all of them. And there's just a lot of symmetry or synergy, synergy or whatever. Thank you, man.
Kelly O'Hara
Cross contamination.
Nick Viall
Cross contamination.
Natalie
That is how it feels.
Nick Viall
Of course. And I think they're so trying to figure it out. But Rob Mills would be the person to decide to put Bachelor on pause. And I think he has the, you know, right now, I like during Grant season right there, they're re airing season one of Mormon Wives following the Bachelor. Yes. Which like sometimes when strikes have happened and things like that, they've like aired like Showtime shows on CBS because they're Owned by the same entities. You know, things like that. Or. So maybe they're trying out Mormon Wives on ABC to see how it does on the network television. But it is scheduled to be released on Hulu only. But it's still possible. I could see it possible that ABC also has it as well. There might be, like, contractual obligations between who gets what first. Obviously with Bachelor abc, they air it on Monday nights, and then, like, the next day it's available on Hulu. So it'll be interesting. But that's definitely possible. I don't know why they felt like they had to do one or the other. Like there's.
Kelly O'Hara
I think there's five days in a.
Dylan
Week, or maybe it just worked out like that.
Kelly O'Hara
I think there's a deeper rooted thing here, and maybe we should dig.
Nick Viall
Should we dig?
Kelly O'Hara
Okay, but I have a bigger dilemma.
Nick Viall
Oh.
Kelly O'Hara
I'm trying to get out here, people.
Sierra
I want to hear, are you kidding me?
Nick Viall
I'm losing my mind.
Kelly O'Hara
Yeah. If you are the first in bed, do you have to run the nightly errands?
Nick Viall
Oh, my God.
Natalie
If you're the first in bed, we.
Nick Viall
Almost got, like, you both.
Kelly O'Hara
We almost got doors.
Natalie
What's the nightly errands like?
Kelly O'Hara
Getting the water, locking up the doors, turning off the lights, turning off the tv, letting out the dogs.
Natalie
That doesn't make any sense. If you're the first in bed.
Kelly O'Hara
So you and Connor, you're like, all right, let's go to bed. You go to the bedroom, brush your teeth, whatever. Get in bed, Nick. Connor, like, Nick shows up. What do you do? Connor comes in and you're like, honey, could you, like, grab the water?
Natalie
Yeah, he goes and gets the water 100%.
Kelly O'Hara
What if he got in bed and was like, no, you go get the water. That would be crazy.
Nick Viall
Right?
Natalie
That's crazy.
Sam Asghari
Yeah.
Dylan
You're already in bed.
Kelly O'Hara
You're already in bed. So whoever's in bed first, this is a lie. The other night, that's an effort for.
Natalie
You to crawl into bed, by the way.
Kelly O'Hara
It does. The other night, I'm in bed, cuddly, snuggly, warm under the covers, very cozy.
Nick Viall
Nick, let's. Let's really paint an accurate picture. Every night, I shut down the house.
Kelly O'Hara
But not very well.
Nick Viall
So I have to double check 95% of the time. I cover it all, which does a handful of errands, including getting her water. Okay. Which she can't seem to do on her own before she goes to bed.
Leia
Yeah, of course not. It is a man's job.
Dylan
You don't Want to get the mother of your child water?
Boston Rob
Yeah.
Kelly O'Hara
Thank you.
Nick Viall
Not a job. No. If ever. If everything is my job, then it's never an act of love.
Kelly O'Hara
But you also asked for that water in the middle of the night.
Nick Viall
Oh, once a month. Oh, right.
Leia
You share water.
Kelly O'Hara
Continue.
Nick Viall
I also took out the. It was garbage day the next day, so I had to take out the garbage the night before.
Natalie
Did you have to put your shoes on for that? Or do you already have your shoes on ready to go?
Nick Viall
I had to put shoes on for that.
Dylan
Oh, no.
Nick Viall
Yeah, it's really hard. I had to go back and forth a few times because n had various requests.
Kelly O'Hara
What were they?
Nick Viall
I don't even remember, but there are too many.
Kelly O'Hara
Convenient.
Nick Viall
Do you shut this. Grab that. She. She's just barking out orders like, I'm not. She doesn't remember. Finally I get in bed, and then she.
Kelly O'Hara
N. Before you got in bed.
Nick Viall
Now. Now wants. I could get in bed every night and just go to bed and just close my eyes and dream about.
Kelly O'Hara
Whenever you're ready to hear the truth, you can circle back to me.
Nick Viall
And now he wants to watch tv.
Natalie
Now.
Nick Viall
They couldn't find the remote. I could give a fuck if we watch tv. I'm ready. I'm ready for bed.
Kelly O'Hara
That's not true. You weren't ready for bed. I was absolutely right. Whenever you're all ready for the truth, I definitely.
Nick Viall
I didn't need to watch tv. And now he's like, I can't find the remote. Can you go in the living room, grab that remote? I'm like, absolutely not. No. I put my foot down because it was just like, I'm always getting out of bed. And this one time I was like, if you want the remote, go get the remote. Because every once in a while, a request sounds like an order. Sorry. I'm just kidding. Whatever. You know, really good. Talk your shit.
Kelly O'Hara
So the truth to this whole story.
Nick Viall
Oh, no. If it proceeds, I don't. Let me finish.
Kelly O'Hara
Okay.
Dylan
Trying to shut a woman down.
Natalie
Really?
Kelly O'Hara
Were you silenced?
Nick Viall
I'm refusing to get the remote. No, no, no, no.
Kelly O'Hara
Let me go. Let me go.
Boston Rob
He doesn't want your side.
Kelly O'Hara
He knows you're right. Enough. You're done.
Leia
He's stalling.
Kelly O'Hara
So the truth to the matter is Nick does his own nightly routine. He's got all these, like, pills. He's popping vitamins, he's taking shots. So he's like. He lets the dogs out and he makes the water. And then when he lets the dogs out to pee, he's gotta shut the door. We have the sliding door. So we put those little poles up behind the door so no one can break in for my intruder syndrome. Lock the doors, turn the lights off. I'm back there scrubbing my face, doing my 16 step nightly routine, which I feel like is a little bit more strenuous than what he's doing out there. I manage to finish before he comes back. Get in bed. Pull the covers up. Quite cozy.
Nick Viall
Hop in bed. So I don't do shit.
Kelly O'Hara
He comes in and it's 9:30. Okay, 9:30.
Nick Viall
And so well past my bedtime.
Kelly O'Hara
I'm like, let's watch our show. Because we didn't get. We had to watch all of our homework. So I'm like, let's watch our show in bed. He's like, okay, cool. And I'm like, where's the remote? He's like, I don't know. I'm like, is it on your side? He's like, no. And I'm like, well, could you go and get the one in the living room? Takes off his clothes.
Nick Viall
I asked someone to do it.
Kelly O'Hara
Gets in the bed. No, I'm like, are you serious? He's like, I'm not doing that. I don't need the. I don't need it. I don't need it. So then I'm like, okay, well then I'll sing myself to sleep. So I start singing. Then he opens his laptop and he starts getting on Twitter, doing whatever the hell he's doing. He's like, I don't need the tv. I can do research. And I'm like, okay. So then I get my Kindle and I'm like, I can read. I start reading out loud and then he turns on music.
Nick Viall
Reading out loud.
Kelly O'Hara
He turns on music.
Nick Viall
Then I turn on ambient noises to turn on.
Kelly O'Hara
It's the loudest volume. And we're both like, get out of bed.
Nick Viall
No, you get out of bed.
Kelly O'Hara
No, you get out of bed.
Natalie
You guys sound like the stepbrother scene where it's just like, yes.
Nick Viall
That'S exactly what it was. And then she. It was even more annoying than reading loud. Then she was reading with a whisper for 20 minutes.
Natalie
Which one was worse? Out louder.
Nick Viall
Because after a while. After a while, the ambient music that I was playing just to like drown her out, I had thought she stopped and I turned down the ambient music, only for here.
Kelly O'Hara
Oh, you're still going.
Natalie
But wait, this sounds like. Could all of this have been avoided.
Nick Viall
If Natalie just got her ass out of the bed? She just got the water she just.
Natalie
Got in the water in the remote.
Kelly O'Hara
Literally. Literally. It was that easy.
Nick Viall
It's not my job.
Kelly O'Hara
It is not when you're the last in bed. It is your job to do. Sorry. It's a race and I beat you that day.
Sierra
It is shotgun.
Kelly O'Hara
It is shotgun. Yeah, it is shotgun rules. It's shotgun rules.
Dylan
It's shotgun rules.
Kelly O'Hara
Total shotgun rules. So anyways, glad we got that covered. Did y'all see that Mandy Moore posted about Amazon delivering a package to her in law's house that had burnt to the ground. So messed up, like, just left this package on top of burnt.
Nick Viall
Who's that fault though?
Kelly O'Hara
Amazon.
Natalie
Amazon. You took the whole in front of a non house.
Nick Viall
I doubt it's an Amazon address.
Natalie
And you're like, I feel like that one can go back to the factory, right?
Nick Viall
I think the driver is definitely at fault.
Dylan
I think the driver is delivering to the address that.
Nick Viall
I mean, listen, I get it.
Dylan
I wouldn't do it. But you're doing your job. You know what I mean?
Kelly O'Hara
But really, you're gonna set that package right there and be like, oh, they'll come and get it if I ring the doorbell. Like, come on. You couldn't. I don't think the truck take it back to the warehouse and be like, hey, so this house is burned down.
Dylan
That is what I would do personally. But I do not know what, you know, am like at a big. They have so many deliveries. Who knows like what their protocol is for, like, you have to get this done. You have to get this done at what time speed. You know they have like those windows.
Sierra
They were just on strike for like being overworked, but still I'm like, if I'm delivering a package, if anything, I'm skipping the house.
Kelly O'Hara
You added more work to yourself by stopping finding the package, getting out of the car, leaving it on the rubble, getting back. That was. You added yourself in the street.
Sierra
The house isn't there.
Kelly O'Hara
Yeah, keep going. I would.
Dylan
I would not personally do that.
Kelly O'Hara
That's crazy.
Natalie
They also have like Amazon places like, like at Whole Foods and whatnot, where you can pick up stuff at a locker.
Nick Viall
Just to play devil's advocate.
Kelly O'Hara
I don't think he needs it.
Natalie
I love it when she says that.
Nick Viall
What if the driver thought that the homeowner like had ordered something that was helping clean up or fight the rubble?
Kelly O'Hara
I don't think that driver was thinking of anybody but his.
Nick Viall
Do you think they were Gen Z that day?
Kelly O'Hara
Like, I don't know. But Amazon did respond and Amazon put out a statement Saying we've reached out to Ms. Moore via Instagram.
Nick Viall
We love it.
Kelly O'Hara
Their social media marketing person for Amazon DMDR to apologize for this and to ask for more information from her in laws. So we're better able to investigate what.
Nick Viall
Happened here but still investigate. I had a package. My house burnt down. You left it.
Kelly O'Hara
They said for weeks we've advised those who are delivering on our behalf in Southern California to use discretion in areas that were impacted by wildfires, especially if it involves delivering to a damaged home. That clearly didn't happen here. So they put out a wide spread being like, don't do that, don't do that.
Dylan
It's our workers fault.
Kelly O'Hara
And Tony was like, hey, I'm gonna leave it anyways.
Nick Viall
Well, it probably was the employee's fault.
Sierra
It definitely was.
Dylan
It was definitely the employee's fault. But I could also see a bigger.
Sierra
Picture of like being overworked.
Dylan
Being overworked. What they have to do, how much they have to deliver, I don't, I don't think it's an excuse for doing that.
Nick Viall
Overworked to like see a house that no longer exists.
Sierra
That's the thing.
Dylan
That is very true. I just think it's also a thing. At the same time, both things are true.
Nick Viall
Maybe it was Gen Z, maybe it.
Dylan
Was Gen Z. I think Gen. You know, as a Gen Z, I would probably do that.
Natalie
Well, one in six companies are hesitant to hire recent college graduates.
Nick Viall
Why?
Natalie
Well, in August, Intelligent.com surveyed 966 business leaders involved in hiring decisions at their company to explore attitudes towards hiring recent Gen z College graduates. 75% of companies report that some of all of their recent college graduates they hired this year were unsatisfactory. Six in ten companies, Some or all.
Kelly O'Hara
Damn.
Natalie
Six in ten companies fired a recent college graduate they hired this year. Nine in 10 hiring managers say recent college graduates should undergo etiquette training. A majority of companies, 79% report that they had to place at least some of their underperforming hires on performance improvement plans and 60% report some were eventually fired.
Kelly O'Hara
Why do we think this is?
Sierra
Why do you think, Nick?
Nick Viall
Are you Gen Z?
Leia
Leia, I am on the cut off year.
Nick Viall
You're on the cusp.
Sierra
I'm also a cusp.
Nick Viall
I will say you're not a cut.
Dylan
We're not cussed.
Sierra
Yeah, no, they say that a lot of us that are from like 1999 to 2003 are the ones that like grew up like through the recession. The COVID was during our primitive years of like high school, college Wait, so.
Kelly O'Hara
Am I not Gen Z?
Natalie
I don't think you are.
Dylan
No, I think, like, your cusp.
Sierra
If anything, I do think people perpetuate a narrative that all Gen Z is, like, lazy. I do know a lot of lazy people, but I also know a lot of ambitious people.
Kelly O'Hara
I think there's also a lot of, like, employers can't be, like. Like, stern and strict with their employees or direct. Whereas, like, I thrived when I was in the workforce. I thrived on, like, I needed someone to be like, you. You have to do better. Like, absolutely not. That's not gonna work. Like, I needed that.
Leia
Interesting.
Kelly O'Hara
And it would, like, if I did not perform well, I. It would make me emotional. I would cry. Like I needed to be. And. And I don't think a lot.
Nick Viall
I think there were a lot of gentle parents out there.
Kelly O'Hara
Yeah.
Nick Viall
Yeah. And. And bosses aren't gentle parenting. And I think not. While not all Gen Z employees are like that, I do think. Overall, my interpretation is Gen Z expects less of themselves, but I do think there's a. A heightened increase in general. Maybe not across the border or with everyone, but.
Sierra
Well, you know, who isn't a Gen Z, but I also think deserves respect. Paige from Summer House. Have you been seeing that? She's basically the Super Bowl. She was seen with her man that works for the Eagles.
Kelly O'Hara
Is this the same guy that. It was, like, zoomed in really far, and it was like, Paige and mystery guy are.
Nick Viall
She looks like she's in a relationship already.
Sierra
She definitely is.
Kelly O'Hara
So.
Nick Viall
So, like, then. Then I'm curious, is maybe. Does she owe Austin an apology? I get that there's nothing more irritating than people who aren't used talking about your life and acting like they know more about you than you, but if they get it right, well, Austin basically, like a week ago or so, something like that, tweeted out or watch what happens, Watch what happens live and basically said, like, the rumors about Paige moving on with her life aren't rumors.
Boston Rob
Yeah.
Nick Viall
And here she is.
Kelly O'Hara
That seems to be true. Right?
Nick Viall
Holding hands with this guy. And then, I don't know, like, the Internet sluice. Apparently, like, Paige took a selfie and what looks like a bedroom, there's a bed behind her. Maybe it's a hotel room. And apparently this is their new man's man purse in the background.
Natalie
He posted a photo, too, with a friend in the same room with the same headboard, same carpet.
Nick Viall
I'm a little surprised that Paige is dating someone who wears a man purse.
Kelly O'Hara
Yeah, so am I. I struggle with.
Nick Viall
That I find that to be shocking.
Sierra
It's not a man purse. It's like a cross body satchel.
Kelly O'Hara
Even worse, I feel like that's kind of. It's a cross body and it's. And it's close to a fanny pack.
Natalie
I feel like it kind of sounds like a little on point though that she would want a man that accessorizes. And also, I just need to clarify, he doesn't work for the Eagles. He's a senior vice president of football marketing at Clutch Sports.
Sierra
Okay.
Nick Viall
Either way, Paige seems like she wants us talking about her. I mean, she's not hiding it.
Natalie
It's not subtle.
Nick Viall
It's not subtle. And like she has the right to date, but like, you know, people are going to have their opinions, you know, especially when Craig has a broken heart.
Sierra
Yeah, good for her. It's interesting too, because on the other side of the cast, Lindsay Hubbard unfollowed her mans. So I don't know what that is.
Kelly O'Hara
They were just at a pediatrician appointment together.
Sierra
Oh, well, she doesn't follow him, so.
Kelly O'Hara
Maybe they're still co parenting.
Nick Viall
How do we know they're at a pediatrician appointment together?
Kelly O'Hara
Well, she posted a picture being like a baby's two month appointment or whatever and a man was holding her. I would imagine the man holding her would be the father of the baby.
Nick Viall
Maybe it's Paige's new man.
Dylan
Or it's her pediatrician.
Nick Viall
Yeah, could be a pediatrician.
Sierra
Or maybe he deleted his inside.
Nick Viall
Was there a man purse also in the background of that?
Kelly O'Hara
No man purse, but it was giving like lobby of pediatrician dad holding baby about to go back is what it was giving.
Nick Viall
But that man has the size of Craig. Can that be Craig from the back?
Kelly O'Hara
What?
Natalie
No.
Kelly O'Hara
I feel like this man looks taller. Yeah, this man looks small.
Natalie
Paige is very tiny.
Nick Viall
You're right. Paige isn't that tall.
Natalie
And she might be wearing wedges, but like the fact that that's her and. And that.
Nick Viall
And those clothes do look very baggy on him. He's drowning in it.
Natalie
In other interesting news, I guess. Mormon wives. Jen Affleck pregnant.
Nick Viall
Shocking.
Natalie
It's a little shocking.
Nick Viall
Yeah.
Natalie
I was not expecting that.
Sierra
What's the storyline?
Natalie
I don't know.
Nick Viall
You can't leave me.
Dylan
It was a surprise. But they're very excited about it is the storyline.
Natalie
But it's weird because it's like their social media presence very much makes it like are they. Aren't they? Doesn't seem like she posts with him or like she doesn't post at all. Really, anymore. And then all of a sudden, it was like, not wearing a ring in videos.
Kelly O'Hara
I think I really strug with Mormon wives because I can see how hard they're working to get people to watch season two. And it's, like, it's very transparent to me. And it's, like, hard for me to believe anything that they say or do when they're like, oh, they unfollowed each other. Oh, my God, these two are beefing. It's like, y'all are really just trying to get that, you know, it's hard for me to find it believable.
Nick Viall
I. I mean, I'm with you in the sense that I think they're. That I think they're professionals. I don't think it's as subtle as they think it is. I think maybe it's more subtle for other people, but, I mean, that's just a very popular show. I don't think they're, like, desperately doing it. I just think they're doing it because they know how to keep the people interested. You know, I mean, I. I'm. I want to see how Jen Affleck and Zach, how they went from possibly divorced, either whether I don't know what was true or whether they were leaning in, but that looked like a really broken relationship. When we had Jen come in, she called her husband a narcissist, right?
Natalie
Since she got, like, a new apartment, was like. Like, being videoed with no ring and then, like, not posting at all, falling off the face of the earth. And then it was just like, here's an ad every once in a while. Like, didn't expect, like, the next thing to be like, and I'm pregnant.
Sierra
But also, I'm like, is it a really issue? Like, did she just post a video in a friend's house? And we made up the narrative of buying a new house. You know what I mean?
Kelly O'Hara
Because she was going back and forth with, like, wearing a ring and not wearing a ring. The amount of times that I, like, don't for, like, I. I only wear my band and, like, won't wear my engagement ring around the house. And, like, if people. I don't know. I'm sure people see that and be like, why isn't she wearing her engagement ring?
Sierra
But maybe it was being cleaned. I'm like.
Kelly O'Hara
Or the issue. Yeah, like, the. Honestly, most of the times, I think we are.
Nick Viall
I don't know. I don't know any about. Thing about that. I do know she was sitting right there on that couch, and I was like, do you Think your husband's a narcissist. And she was like, yeah, totally. And that's something.
Kelly O'Hara
Yep.
Sierra
So we need a Love is Blind season in Utah. That doesn't exist, right? No, like that would pop up.
Nick Viall
Why haven't they got. Well, we do have Love is Blind Minnesota debuting. Minneapolis debuts tomorrow. So we'll start covering that next week. We'll do the first three episodes on Tuesday and then the rest of the batch on on Wednesday. So if you're following along with us, be sure to watch that this weekend. Up next, we have Kelly O'Hara.

Kelly O'Hara

Dylan
Her teammate was also there.
Nick Viall
Her teammate, co star. They're all stars. Everyone's a star. Anyway, she's up next to talk about Beverly Hills housewives, traders. And then later on, along with Kelly, Boston Rob's gonna zoom in to give us a little bit more of the tea on.
Kelly O'Hara
My 16 year old self is quaking.
Natalie
Yeah, not quaking.
Leia
Me too.
Nick Viall

Boston Rob
Thanks for having me on.
Nick Viall
We're very excited to have you.
Boston Rob
I'm stoked to be here.
Nick Viall
How have you been? What's new?
Boston Rob
I retired from soccer. How long ago? That happened in the fall wall.
Nick Viall
So recently.
Kelly O'Hara
Yeah.
Nick Viall
Has that been kind of a huge life adjustment? Yes.
Boston Rob
Yeah. Yeah, it has, but I. I kind of. I had a.
Nick Viall
Okay. You want to talk about it?
Boston Rob
No. We don't have to get into it, but. No, I'm actually surprising. I had a long time to process it because I kind of saw it, the writing on the wall, just because of some physical things, like my knees. Not great. And I had a doctor tell me, you need to retire, like, two years ago. So I had. I had time. But I am surprised, like, pleasantly surprised with how much I've enjoyed the other side. Like, I'm officially done. And people keep asking, like, how. Because the teams are back in together, and I think they're worried. Yeah. They're, like, worried about, you know, how. How I would be handling right now. And I'm like. I'm. I'm actually really good, so. Yeah.
Nick Viall
Okay.
Boston Rob
Life's good. And I can't believe I did it for so long now, knowing the other side.
Nick Viall
How long were you a professional. Professional soccer player?
Boston Rob
I started in 2010, so 14, 15 years. Yeah.
Kelly O'Hara
Was soccer something you, like, your parents put you in at a really young age and you kind of grew up?
Boston Rob
I started playing soccer when I was four.
Nick Viall
Four.
Boston Rob
Yes, yes. Little. We call it Muppet soccer in Georgia. I'm from Georgia, by the way. I know. So I started playing that. But I played a ton of sports growing up, which I'm so thankful that mom and dad had me do that, and. But soccer ended up being the one that, like, won out, and I was, I think, the best at and therefore, enjoy the most.
Nick Viall
Our daughter just started walking.
Boston Rob
Okay. And have you put a ball at her feet yet?
Nick Viall
Now I got her a soccer ball.
Boston Rob
Smart.
Kelly O'Hara
It's in her Valentine's Day basket. So she hasn't gotten it yet, but she did pick it out at Target.
Boston Rob
I love that. Does it have little. Is it, like, red and white or, like, have hearts in there?
Kelly O'Hara
It's all pink.
Boston Rob
Oh, beautiful.
Kelly O'Hara
It's like, neon pink. Oh, my gosh.
Nick Viall
I didn't really, really. I mean, I Guess I. I haven't, like, it's my first kid, so I haven't really. I've seen babies walk before, but I haven't really paid this much attention. When a kid learns to walk for the first time, it's as if they learn how to fly. Meaning truly, she's really getting confident.
Boston Rob
Yeah.
Nick Viall
You know, two weeks ago, was this a couple steps?
Boston Rob
Yes.
Nick Viall
And now she'll like, I'll have to. I'm just gonna have to show you. I don't know how to do it, but, like, she'll walk and then she, like, will just turn around and like, like, as if she's flying. Right.
Boston Rob
Right.
Nick Viall
There's no, like, real direction of why she's doing it, but, like, it's like, you know, if you learned how to fly, you would zig and you would zag and you. You would go down. And her energy in her face is like, I can't believe I can do this. All of a sudden she's like, I'm going to go left, I'm going to go right. I'm going to turn in circles. It's pretty great.
Boston Rob
Yeah. She's like, I can literally do anything.
Nick Viall
I think she's pretty athletic.
Boston Rob
I was going to ask, does this. Does the walking look athletic? Because you can. I feel like you can kind of tell early on.
Nick Viall
Who knows? Maybe I'm just.
Boston Rob
I was going to say. Is that dad bias?
Nick Viall
Definitely could be dad bias. But, like, she's giving athlete.
Boston Rob
Okay. She is exciting.
Nick Viall
She's very determined. She likes to pull herself up. Today it was a little scary because, like, she stood up in her high chair. Chair.
Boston Rob
Oh, you didn't. She wasn't. Because you haven't had to strap her in yet.
Nick Viall
Well, you know, at first it was like she didn't know how to stand up. And, like, we were always by her with the high chair, you know, like. So, yeah, we're about to get parent shamed out there. But, you know, we weren't buckling her in. We are now.
Boston Rob
That's fair. You didn't. You didn't have to. You didn't have to.
Nick Viall
Well, yeah, so she's. She's a very determined young lady. So.
Kelly O'Hara
But it will be interesting to see, like, what kind of thing she takes to. Yeah. Gravitates to and takes to. It was a red soccer ball at the park. Park that made her walk through sand for the first time. So I was like, that was motivating enough. So that's why I got her the soccer ball. But she has a little basketball Net. And she knows how to put the basketball in the. In the net. So I think we're off to a good start. Maybe we'll have a Kelly O'Hara on our ends. Who knows?
Boston Rob
Yeah, we can only hope. We're so lucky, you know.
Nick Viall
So rumor on the street is you filled up your retirement with watching some of our favorite programs.
Boston Rob
Yes. So I got into reality tv. Well, I've always been a reality TV fan, but I got into Bravo because of my. My sweetie pie. She got me into Bravo during COVID.
Nick Viall
Oh, thank you for that.
Boston Rob
Yes. And because she. She watched Housewives and I was like, I don't get it. You know, like, it's not interested. But then when you had so much time on your hands, let's get into it. And I have been a fan since.
Nick Viall
Yeah. Do you have a favorite franchise?
Boston Rob
I think Beverly Hills is the most entertaining New York work. This season has gotten better. I enjoyed the originals, I guess, but it's. Yeah, but it's nice to. Because I didn't. I got in so late that I didn't know all of the past history and drama. So it's nice to like. Okay, I can start from the beginning. That's easier. I love Summer House. Southern Charms. Very good. Winter House I thought was quite entertaining as well, but they're obviously not doing.
Nick Viall
Have you been watching Salt Lake City?
Boston Rob
So I didn't watch it a ton and it's so funny. She'll put it on and I'm like. She's like, you gotta watch. I'm like, ah, you know, know, I watched in the beginning of Salt Lake because it was an. A new. A new one. So I. It was easy to enter.
Nick Viall
I didn't have to entered and gave.
Boston Rob
Up on it a little bit. But I also think I have like a little bit of like, I'm. I'm pretty bad at focusing, so I just get.
Natalie
Yeah.
Boston Rob
Attention is not held sometimes.
Nick Viall
Well, last night's episode, did you watch Salt Lake? No. Beverly Hills.
Boston Rob
Oh, yes, I did. I actually watched it in the car because I fell asleep last night watching Southern Charm in bed. But I did watch Beverly Hills.
Kelly O'Hara
Did Sutton's mom remind you of anyone?
Boston Rob
Georgia? Well, it's funny. I'm like, ah. You can tell that she loves Sutton so much, but she's just like a hard ass, you know? And there were certain things where she would say something and it would almost be like, is that a slight. Like, is that rude? But she's joking. Yeah. And she's like. Has like a little bit of a smirk. You know?
Nick Viall
Yeah.
Boston Rob
So. But I feel that was a. It was a heavy episode.
Nick Viall
Heavy.
Kelly O'Hara
Really?
Nick Viall
I was triggered.
Boston Rob
Same. I was like, I might start crying in the car and, like, I put on mascara.
Nick Viall
I'm very much, much team Ms. Reba. You are, oh, 100.
Kelly O'Hara
The Garcelle.
Nick Viall
I was so triggered by that.
Boston Rob
Were you? You don't think Garcelle was just trying to, like, trying to almost open the door for Sutton and her mom to have that conversation?
Nick Viall
Maybe.
Boston Rob
I think. I think that's what she was. Because I actually don't think the one at the end would have. Their conversation at the end would have happened.
Natalie
I agree with that.
Boston Rob
Okay.
Natalie
I agree with that wholeheartedly.
Boston Rob
But you're like, Garcelle had no business doing that.
Nick Viall
No business whatsoever. If I said to Natalie, it was like, if. Fast forward. If river makes friends with someone, you know, and regardless of what happens as river gets older, there will be some conflict between our daughter and us. Hopefully we have a healthy relationship, but at some point, we'll piss her off. I don't know. She'll have a gripe. I don't know. I don't know what's gonna happen. But if one day our daughter brought over some cameras and her TV friend sat Natalie down and on camera. Camera started lecturing her about her parenting. If Nally killed that friend, I would probably be fine with it. Like, that is the most out of pocket shit that Garcelle did.
Boston Rob
Really?
Nick Viall
Oh, my God.
Natalie
Oh, Sutton knew. Sutton's setting up the table thing. Like, Garcelle's outside with my mom.
Nick Viall
Did she know? No.
Boston Rob
Scared.
Nick Viall
Did she know? Exactly.
Natalie
100%. Sutton knew that she brought Garcelle there for that reason.
Nick Viall
Yeah. Well, when her mom responded, well, I don't think it's any of your business. I literally was, like, clapping.
Boston Rob
Well, it was a great response.
Nick Viall
Yeah. Yes, for sure. Sure.
Boston Rob
But I do. I think. I don't know. What do you.
Kelly O'Hara
You know, I think because I see so much of, like, my family in Ms. Reba that I definitely do feel like Garcelle overstepped. Especially, like. And watching Avi kind of roll his eyes at her like they're in her house in. You know, and he's like, make, like, acting like she's.
Boston Rob
Well, they're technically in Sutton's house, but.
Kelly O'Hara
Who takes care of it, you know? Like, the mom lives in the backyard.
Boston Rob
I don't think Reba does.
Kelly O'Hara
I know she lives in the backyard. I feel like she takes care of the house more than Sutton does. She's at that. I feel like, more than Sutton is. So when Reba's like, I don't like that ice. And Avi's like, it was funny, though. Yeah.
Nick Viall
I just, like, you know, maybe I'm a respect your elders kind of guy. And she's older and, like, yeah, I get it at Sutton's house. But, like, if Sutton has, like, trauma with her mom, I get it. But, like, it doesn't give her, like, Sutton's people permission to come in and kind of give the same energy that Sutton gives her mom.
Kelly O'Hara
Also. I see so much of Sutton in her mom. Yep. It's like.
Nick Viall
And at the end of the episode, her mom was like, you turned out being just like me and kind of laughed.
Boston Rob
Exactly. No. What? I think it was Garcelle or maybe it was Kyle who said, tree, apple. Yeah. It's literally.
Kelly O'Hara
Yeah.
Boston Rob
Yeah. It's so obvious.
Nick Viall
And listen, my heart, like, it was a heavy episode. And. And, you know, listen, it's. Every time there's a heavy episode like this with Mary talking about her son in Salt Lake City, I think there's always these questions about, like, you know, should they be talking about this? I've just kind of decided. I think it's very unfair for us as fans to like, judge our favorite reality TV stars and pick and choose, like, what we think is kosher or okay to talk about or not. When, like, we. We demand great, entertaining television. And then when they give us, like, heavy, dramatic, personal shit where we're watching, be like, I can't believe they're talking about this on tv. I just don't think we're in a position to judge.
Boston Rob
I agree, but I also. That's why I am a fan of the Housewives, because I think that they end up talking about things that they show up. Yeah. That people are uncomfortable and are very real and do happen in the world, and people need to. And that, to me, is a opening for, like, a family or friend or relationship to have a conversation.
Nick Viall
Yeah. I just like, for me, Garcelle, like, playing therapist, like, trying to.
Boston Rob
With a therapist.
Nick Viall
With a therapist trying to psychoanalyze her. Because, like, if I were to play a therapist, like, just out of. Just as a guess, like, it wouldn't surprise me at all if, like, you know, don't know a lot of background about Sutton's, like, upbringing. But it seemed like her dad was struggling with some mental health issues.
Boston Rob
Yes.
Nick Viall
And some substance issues and things like that. And it sounded like a man, as a Sutton reference, was sick. Wouldn't surprise me at all if maybe, like, her mom covered for her dad a lot and a lot of issues and maybe covered for him in ways that maybe like, protected his memory. And, you know, who knows? That's definitely a possibility. And when, like, Sutton's mom was like, you're speaking on things you know nothing about, it really kind of gave that energy of us. Like, I'm sure Sutton has her opinion and she has her lived experience and she has her feelings, but her mom has her own as well. And I think often our kids grow up and they have a perception of a reality that may not be. Be reality itself. And I don't know, like, maybe. Maybe that's a scenario where, like, because. Because Sutton clearly has this adoration for her father who has passed and this clear resentment for her mother and kind of opened up or she kind of low key, you know, when she was like, there was a gun in the house and blah, blah, blah, like, there it was giving blame a little bit. And I feel for sudden. I'm glad she could open up about that. But, like, clearly this was heavy. And again, knowing all this for Seth Carcel to lock in there and start being like, we just met. Let me tell you what you're doing wrong as a mother.
Boston Rob
Right. But do you think Garcelle knew all of that baggage? I think, again, Garcelle only knew what Sutton's.
Nick Viall
I wouldn't. I wouldn't walk into a.
Boston Rob
You were like, I. I would know better to not bring that up.
Nick Viall
If I were to call out a mom for her and, you know, I. I would want to know exactly what I'm dealing with. Yeah.
Boston Rob
That's fair.
Nick Viall
Yeah.
Kelly O'Hara
Do you think the family who lived in Sutton's hometown knew that her father had killed himself?
Boston Rob
That was my. That was my first thought when they walked in the door. I was like, do they know?
Kelly O'Hara
Right.
Nick Viall
So anyways, used to live there.
Boston Rob
Yeah.
Kelly O'Hara
My dad in that room that y'all love so much, actually, I mean, I feel like that has to be in.
Nick Viall
There's no way.
Kelly O'Hara
It's gotta be in.
Nick Viall
Like, there's no way. They didn't bring it up.
Kelly O'Hara
You. You sign, you close on the house and it's like. And there was a death in here. Like, you've.
Nick Viall
There.
Kelly O'Hara
You've gotta know that before you buy a house. Right?
Nick Viall
I don't know.
Kelly O'Hara
Don't they have to disclose? It's.
Natalie
It's between. It's like state by state. But I know in California, I think it's like within three years of you purchasing it that you. They have to disclose it, but. And I think if you ask or if you inquire about it, that they have to disclose.
Kelly O'Hara
That's my first question. Any house. I've. We've, you know, been house shopping, and it's like, you go in and it's like, has anyone died here? I need to know that. Has anyone died here, or am I going to be haunted by ghosts?
Nick Viall
Do you believe in ghost?
Boston Rob
I think anything's possible.
Kelly O'Hara
You've never been in the same room with one?
Boston Rob
Well, we did go to this soccer camp, ODP soccer camp in Alabama at Montevallo. Do you know what Montevolo is?
Nick Viall
Yeah.
Sam Asghari
Yeah.
Boston Rob
Is it a college? It's a college.
Kelly O'Hara
I think it's like a community college, I think.
Boston Rob
Maybe.
Kelly O'Hara
Maybe.
Boston Rob
But that's where the camp happened every year, and word on the street is that it's haunted. So that's my only time that I have been in an area that was potentially haunted. And I will say it was a bit creepy.
Kelly O'Hara
Do we know why it was haunted?
Boston Rob
I don't know. Some, apparently. Allegedly, there's this door that, like, looks like flames and that a girl might have died in the room, and that. That showed up on the. I don't know. Listen, fact check me. Who knows?
Kelly O'Hara
Listen, being from Savannah, I. It's like the most haunted city in the United States or something.
Boston Rob
Is it?
Nick Viall
That's what they say.
Kelly O'Hara
My sister lived. Had a house downtown Savannah, and there was one room, and there was for sure a ghost in. I mean, like, the dog would only bark in a corner of that room. Things would, like, lights would come on, lights would go off. Ghosts are real.
Boston Rob
Okay.
Nick Viall
Can you bring back your Georgia accent?
Boston Rob
Only if I'm in Georgia and I need to, like, charm somebody.
Nick Viall
Why?
Kelly O'Hara
Do you feel like you lost it? Do you think it's just, like, being around.
Boston Rob
Both my parents are from Pittsburgh, so I didn't grow up with, like, a Georgia or Southern accent. But in growing up in Georgia, I can do it if I need to, and I can bust that out, but, you know, we're not gonna do it on here.
Kelly O'Hara
All right. What are you making of the whole PA, Cage and Craig breakup?
Boston Rob
Well, I just watched Southern Charm last night from, I think, last week, and the farm.
Kelly O'Hara
Yes.
Boston Rob
Scene. And I'm like, was that the moment that Paige said, you know what? I'm not interested.
Nick Viall
It's not for me having a farm.
Kelly O'Hara
And all the goats, like, nibbling on her designer shirt.
Boston Rob
She's like, yeah. Like, when she walked, when she started to step away from the beach, I was like, oh, she's Out. She's not interested in this at all. And I. I feel like they. When they started their relationship, they both were. Wanted the same things, right? Like grow their businesses, really dive in and lean into that aspect of life. And I think that they both have very clearly and have had great success. But I think now Craig is like, I'm at a point where I want a family. I potentially want a farm. I bought bees, you know, and Paige, like, I still want to live in New York City and do my own thing, and I'm not ready for that. And I think that's very fair. Both of them.
Nick Viall
Yeah. Him buying bees is.
Boston Rob
Well, he couldn't. He couldn't have chicken, so he went with the bees.
Nick Viall
But that's like, that's a move on the chessboard, you know, he was like, I'm going to buy these bees.
Kelly O'Hara
That's a commitment.
Nick Viall
I mean, like, I think that was like. That was like a, like a passive aggressive move by Craig to be like, towards Paige. Yeah.
Boston Rob
Like, to be like, I am.
Nick Viall
I'm just settling down. It's just like, well, you won't if we're not ready to get engaged. Either way, I'm. I'm buying something that I have to nurture and take care of.
Kelly O'Hara
Yeah. It's not like he adopted a cat.
Boston Rob
You know, he was like, I mean business. I got bees.
Kelly O'Hara
You can't just drop the bees off at a foster humane society.
Nick Viall
They need tlc.
Boston Rob
Some might say you could leave the bees, go on vacation, and it would be much easier than a cat.
Leia
That's true.
Kelly O'Hara
That's true.
Nick Viall
I don't know. I'm not. I don't know much about the top.
Boston Rob
Right, right. Or just. Yeah, just.
Nick Viall
I don't think I'm with you, though. I think, honestly, Paige, that was kind of like, at that moment, like, just absolutely not.
Boston Rob
No, I. I really was like, I. I'm very. I would love to know, like, at what point did she start to be like, this isn't the person and. Or the relationship that I want to like.
Nick Viall
I wonder if honey at this point is triggering for her.
Boston Rob
I love honey.
Natalie
Have you seen the summer house trailer yet? There's a scene of Paige and Craig at dinner, and, like, you can tell it's a heated conversation and she's just like, what, am I supposed to apologize for being independent and, like, unsuccessful? Saying, like, they clearly don't want the same things? But it's like, I think, yeah, we're seeing this, the beginning of it, and then we're going to start seeing that Phase where it's like you're trying to talk yourself into it, but also don't have the energy to, like, pretend we all know it.
Boston Rob
We all. We do. We.
Natalie
Sure.
Boston Rob
No, and it's. Yeah.
Nick Viall
I. I just feel for Craig's broken heart. I just know.
Boston Rob
Oh, he's for sure going through it right now. He is. He was.
Nick Viall
And she is moving on. She's moved on.
Kelly O'Hara
Yeah.
Boston Rob
Yeah.
Nick Viall
She's holding hands.
Boston Rob
But to be fair, if it happened on Thanksgiving, what is today? February? Like, it's been two plus months or almost two months. Right.
Nick Viall
I. Listen, I. I think people have the right to break up, and they have the right to move on. Well, I mean, you know, when. When it comes to public figure breakups, people act like they don't. No, that is, there always has to be a villain, you know, and I don't think there needs to be a villain. But, you know, if you have a very public relationship and you are being public with your dating, moving on is a choice. And I. And I've. I've been in Paige's shoes before, and I. You know, I'm not saying one's better than the other. I made a different choice to, like, go out of my way to, like.
Kelly O'Hara
Not, you know, I think there were also two breakups. There was the one in November, and then the one when she announced it on their podcast.
Boston Rob
That's a really good point.
Kelly O'Hara
And it's like, he could have healed, and then now to have the whole world know and questioning and seeing her date and seeing all this, it's like he's going through it again.
Boston Rob
Wouldn't you say? Didn't he. Wasn't he seen with somebody or presenting single out in the world? Therefore, she felt like, okay, well, then I'm gonna announce it, because I don't.
Nick Viall
Know the details of that. Or if he just was, like, out and at a bar and there was.
Boston Rob
A picture and women there, you know.
Kelly O'Hara
Like, I don't know if he's around the opposite sex. He's moved on. He's single.
Nick Viall
Where Paige seems like she's, like, in a relationship. Relationship.
Boston Rob
You think?
Nick Viall
I don't know if she's holding hands. Like, apparently there she's posting selfies in her bedroom where, like, his stuff is. You know, the sleuths are sleuthing.
Boston Rob
Oh. Oh, wow.
Nick Viall
We have this, you know, like, and apparently, like, apparently his man purse is in the background.
Boston Rob
Who is this man?
Natalie
Joe D'Amelio.
Nick Viall
Secret, secret man.
Natalie
He works in sports marketing for the NFL.
Nick Viall
He doesn't want to Move to South Carolina.
Boston Rob
Okay. Does he live in New York?
Nick Viall
I think so.
Boston Rob
Okay, well, there you go.
Nick Viall
Or Philly or. He doesn't have honey.
Boston Rob
One off the list.
Kelly O'Hara
He doesn't have honeybees.
Nick Viall
No honeybees.
Boston Rob
Not interested in farm life.
Kelly O'Hara
Do you. Are you into Southern hospitality at all? Have you gotten into that?
Boston Rob
I haven't.
Kelly O'Hara
Were you a Vanderpump rules.
Boston Rob
So I only got into Vanderpump because of Scandal.
Natalie
Yes.
Boston Rob
And I had to go back and watch all of the season, like, Scandal happened. And Cameron was like, you. You will not believe what is going on. And so then I had to go. Go back, rewatch it all, listen to all Yalls episodes, because I was like, I need to hear what they're thinking. These perspectives. Point of view. Insane.
Nick Viall
Where did you land? Did you listen to the episode with Tom Sandoval on this?
Boston Rob
I think I did, yeah. Yeah, that was. He. Wasn't he late or something? That's what I remember the most from that episode. Because I'm just. I can't.
Kelly O'Hara
Like, he was late and came in with the photo of him with the, like, endangered species, tiger, whatever, framed and was like, here you go, Nick. And Schwartz was like, absolutely not. Absolutely not. Get this out.
Nick Viall
A hero.
Kelly O'Hara
No.
Boston Rob
Oh, my God. I've been. I've been enjoying watching him on Traders, though.
Nick Viall
I really am, too.
Sam Asghari
Yeah.
Boston Rob
Do you think he makes it to the end? No, no, no. Not. Not smart enough.
Nick Viall
No.
Boston Rob
Okay.
Nick Viall
No, I think he's gonna make it far enough until he. I think he will make it farther. Most people think he'll make it because he's not a threat.
Boston Rob
Right.
Kelly O'Hara
Yeah. No one's taking any of his theories seriously. Although he did, you know, Boston Raw, right?
Boston Rob
He shot down the giant and it was all him. He's the only one who came up with that.
Kelly O'Hara
I do think he will not Broken clocks, you know, I think he'll get murdered. I don't think he'll get voted out. Like, I think that will be his. His exit will be murdered because he just, like, won't shut up about Danielle or Carolyn or one of the new Traders. And they'll be like, oh, my God, we just got to kill Tom. Because he just won't shut up about us. Like, I don't think everyone at the round table is going to be like, tom, you're a traitor. We got to vote you out.
Nick Viall
Do you find him in any way endearing?
Boston Rob
I did during the bug game when he was holding hands with Dylan, because I, like, love Dylan. And when he was just. I Think it's like when the bugs rained down. They're on his hat, and he's just.
Nick Viall
Like, how would you be with those critters?
Boston Rob
I would probably have to keep my eyes closed. Yeah. It would not. I don't think it would be that.
Nick Viall
I was really impressed with Dylan.
Boston Rob
Yeah.
Nick Viall
I was like, that's a man.
Kelly O'Hara
Also, Sam.
Boston Rob
Yeah, Sam. Sam was like, cute. Look at that little tailless scorpion. I've never seen one before. You know, I was so excited about it.
Kelly O'Hara
He's like, look, I think it likes you more than me. It's crawling off my hand.
Boston Rob
He was, like, naming them, wanted to take them home. It was so sweet.
Kelly O'Hara
Oh, my God.
Nick Viall
I don't know if I could have done that, really.
Boston Rob
Oh, there's. Oh, I could do that over, like, an eating challenge, for sure. O. You know?
Nick Viall
Sure.
Boston Rob
Yeah. Or like, on the challenge. That's an.
Nick Viall
I'd rather have bugs on me than mayonnaise.
Natalie
Would you rather eating man eat a bug or have them on you?
Nick Viall
The snake would have the bugs. The bugs wouldn't have mattered to me. The snakes. I would have the big old snake. I would have.
Boston Rob
Yeah. Do we think Sierra had any idea that it was a snake? You know, her eyes were closed the whole time, and she was just like, what is it?
Nick Viall
The other option?
Kelly O'Hara
I don't know.
Boston Rob
Like, what are they thinking? Like a weighted blanket. What is it like?
Kelly O'Hara
We're giving you a neck pillow. A weighted neck pillow for the airplane ride home.
Nick Viall
Feels like a hose.
Boston Rob
Says traitors on it.
Nick Viall
It moves.
Boston Rob
It's a memorabilia grave. Yeah.
Natalie
I don't know what else you could think it was.
Kelly O'Hara
Yeah, I. You know, but honestly, I feel like in that scenario, ignorance is bliss and just being like, I don't know what it is. I don't want to know what it is. If anyone would have said a snake, I probably would have freaked out. But in my own head, I probably would have been telling myself, weighted. It's a weighted neck pillow.
Boston Rob
Yeah. I mean, I would be under the assumption that the producers would never do anything that would actually harm me, therefore. Right. It is truly just my own fear getting in the way, and I need to get over that.
Kelly O'Hara
Would you ever do special forces?
Boston Rob
I. I would.
Nick Viall
Have you been asked?
Boston Rob
I have not. So if you know anybody.
Nick Viall
I do.
Boston Rob
I'm curious. I want to know your thoughts. I listen to.
Nick Viall
I think you need to go.
Boston Rob
Really?
Nick Viall
Especially someone like you who, like, I don't know you, but I would imagine you're competitive. I imagine that you like, testing your limits and and seeing what you're capable of now that you're retired. Maybe there's a void in your life at times feeling like you know, pushing yourself to the next level and like it very much will offer. It will. It's a rewarding experience. Say that.
Boston Rob
No, I mean it looks very rewarding. It looks terrible.
Nick Viall
Literal torture, truly. Make no mistake. It's not like, like torture.
Boston Rob
No, no, no.
Nick Viall
It's just, it's literal torture of, of them putting you through a real life military simulation.
Boston Rob
Were you minute by minute by the end just being like every, like I just gotta get through one minute.
Nick Viall
One minute. Five. More like five literal. Like if I'm being literal.
Boston Rob
Five minute ingress.
Nick Viall
Five. Five minute increment.
Boston Rob
Look, I've survived another.
Nick Viall
Just like just don't quit.
Boston Rob
Do you feel like they had for instance me saying I know the producers on Traders wouldn't put any bugs that are actually going like, like it's a.
Nick Viall
Well, that was just about to.
Boston Rob
Do you feel like you did things that you were like I could die?
Nick Viall
No. You learn on Special Forces. Buddy Miller, my season Olympic downhill sk. And he was like very helpful because like he's just, he kind of does stuff like he was like definitely the, the dad of the, of the unit. And he talked about the difference between being scared and being unsafe. Like to know the difference between fear and safety. And so that premise of like we knew we were safe doing these very scary things.
Boston Rob
Okay, you did, you did feel safe?
Nick Viall
I did feel safe, yeah.
Boston Rob
Cuz some of these I'm kind of like that could go.
Nick Viall
There's been injuries.
Boston Rob
The one where they this season where they jumped off the bridge and then it caught without any slack. I'm like did they all get whiplash? Are they okay? And then they started to swing. I'm like you go a little bit of degree off from the path you're hitting.
Nick Viall
It's not without risk, but for the most part I, I did feel safe. Okay, well that makes you feel that the, the challenges. That was the fun, fun part.
Boston Rob
So the miserable part was like what, sleeping at night?
Nick Viall
No, they don't show a lot of like even like the boat races or like the endurance stuff, they're showing a fraction of it. It looks like you're watching 10 minutes. It was three hours. You're waking up at 7:00am and until midnight you're, you're going 150.
Boston Rob
Did you train for it?
Nick Viall
I had like two weeks.
Boston Rob
Really?
Nick Viall
Yeah. So not really. I mean I, I basically was working out three days a week and I Like, upped it to, like four days a week.
Boston Rob
But I wasn't as well do it.
Nick Viall
I didn't really do any training like, a week before I started taking, like, cold baths.
Boston Rob
Oh.
Nick Viall
To try to, like, you know. But I was hypothermic for three days in a row.
Boston Rob
What do you mean?
Nick Viall
On day five, they woke up and, like, did this, what they call a bee sting. And they, you know, the obstacle course. And they had to, like, jump in freezing water. And I just. There was a scene where Aaron had to put me in the hot shower. They flipped it around and made it seem like it was at night when I was in the morning. But from that moment on, I just.
Boston Rob
Could not warm up.
Nick Viall
I couldn't warm up because they're also decreasing your calories. Calories throughout the week. So you're working. Yeah. No. And it's prison. That was the hardest part. It's prison. Like, it's prison food. It's disgusting prison food. There's no comfort. There's no. It's. It's literal, like. And it's a test of your will. It's a test.
Boston Rob
How many days?
Nick Viall
Eight to 10, depending on the course. But they'll be. People act like every time they say only eight days, it's eight days of pure torture.
Boston Rob
Yeah. No, it sounds like it. Even watching from home, I'm like, this looks miserable.
Nick Viall
Yeah. And you can leave whenever you want.
Boston Rob
Do you think hot version or cold version is harder?
Nick Viall
Well, I was hypothermic, and that really sucked.
Boston Rob
Yeah. Tough.
Nick Viall
I would say the cold version. The thing with the heat, though, it's like one of those things, like, the heat can catch up on, you know, like, if you don't hydrate enough and something happens, you could get, like, medically withdrawn. All of a sudden you get heat stroke or something. Like. So I think that that could put someone at risk of, like, it catching up with you quicker.
Boston Rob
But were you ever at risk because you were hyper hypothermic?
Nick Viall
The doctor called me in once and was like, are you okay, buddy?
Boston Rob
You need to warm up.
Nick Viall
They were just like, is it gonna get harder? But they. It's like, they checked in with me. Okay. But, you know, they.
Boston Rob
How much running did you have to do? This is me just quizzing you. I just want to know.
Nick Viall
It was a lot of run.
Boston Rob
It was. Because I, like, can't really run anymore, so I might not.
Nick Viall
It's. You're. You're running with a 40 pound backpack.
Boston Rob
Probably would make it even more difficult.
Nick Viall
Yeah.
Boston Rob
The part's Hard.
Nick Viall
So you're not like, sprinting, but you're. Yeah, you're. I mean, you're always kind of shocked.
Boston Rob
Shuffle.
Nick Viall
Yeah. There was never like an all else. It's like I always.
Kelly O'Hara
They just want to see you do the best that you can. They just don't want to see you, like, trying to slack out.
Boston Rob
That's true. Yeah.
Kelly O'Hara
It's like, you're like, sprint, but like, I'm doing the best I can, then, like.
Nick Viall
Yeah, yeah.
Kelly O'Hara
But they definitely won't like, disqualify you for not sprinting.
Boston Rob
No, it's. It's definitely one of the shows that I would be interested in. That and Traders. I would love to go. You need to go on Traders. I heard you saying that they hit you up last year, right? They've hit me up a couple times.
Nick Viall
A couple times, but.
Boston Rob
All right. Why not?
Nick Viall
Well, up into this point, it's been tough with the show. I'm busy, you know. And now he was pregnant. Yeah. It just hasn't been easy to get away. Someday I hope I get the chance where it works out for both parties. Maybe we'll do it together.
Boston Rob
That would be so fun. I would love that.
Nick Viall
Would you rather be a trader or faithful?
Boston Rob
I would be the worst trader in the entire world.
Nick Viall
I don't think I'd be a good trader. I think I would be much better at catching same.
Boston Rob
I think that I. I can reason, but maybe it's because I'm sitting on the couch knowing who the traders are. I'm like, obviously it's this reason that they're doing it.
Nick Viall
Yeah. I think there's a lot ephemer for your. Your standpoint. I think they're making us feel smarter than we should be.
Boston Rob
Sure. And then you get in there and it's probably just a mind.
Kelly O'Hara
I mean, that's what. Every time we interview one. That's kind of what they say when we're like, it's so obvious. Danielle. And they're like, it's really not. Like, we've definitely thought her a few times, but, like, it's not as obvious.
Boston Rob
To be fair, though, Danielle is more obvious than Carolyn right now.
Kelly O'Hara
Oh, 100.
Nick Viall
But only because we know.
Boston Rob
No, because of the. Some of the things that she's done during the competitions when she, like, didn't pick herself for the picture.
Kelly O'Hara
Yeah.
Natalie
Yeah.
Boston Rob
Like, what are we doing?
Nick Viall
We all know that she's a traitor. So we're. We're watching that through the lens of.
Kelly O'Hara
Why even they were like, no, that was suspicious. Why didn't she but then, but then.
Boston Rob
Nobody went, went down that path.
Nick Viall
But keep in mind editing.
Boston Rob
True.
Nick Viall
They're going back and all of these like, yeah, she did that. Are in these post moment interviews, like we call it.
Boston Rob
That's a good point.
Nick Viall
You know, so they're going back and interviewing them and like, isn't it suspicious that like, Danielle was crying and like, oh, no, only saving herself. They're like, yeah, it was suspicious. You know.
Boston Rob
Oh, you're like, you know what's happening. You've been in this position. So you're like, the producers are feeding them these questions potentially.
Nick Viall
I'm just saying we don't know that's not the case. Everyone we have talked to and we'll talk to, to BOSTON Robin about 20 minutes. If you, if you have time, you can.
Boston Rob
Oh my God, I would love to just even sit in the room and hear what he has to say.
Nick Viall
But yeah, the feedback has been like, we had no clue it was Danielle. And yeah, you all think that, like, we should have known. But like, she really had us, you know, fooled.
Boston Rob
I can't believe you don't think you'd be a good trader. I actually think you'd be really good at it.
Nick Viall
I'm not, I don't like to lie. I mean either.
Boston Rob
I would, I would crumble.
Nick Viall
I'm not a good liar. Liar. You know, I've, I've said this on this show before and people were like, but you did the best in the interrogation at Special Forces. It's like, you know, that's not like, not the same.
Boston Rob
Yeah, you're like playing a role. Which I guess my thing when I first started watching Traders the way I thought I was like, wow, this is kind of messed up. Like, people are actually able to lie face to face with people. You know, just consist. You're just lying the whole time if you're a trader. But then I was like, no, they're playing a game, Kelly. Like, they, that is the game. And if you get tapped to be a trader, you then have to be like, to win this game, the only thing I can do is lie.
Kelly O'Hara
Yeah. You have to think of it as like, I am an Oscar winning actress.
Boston Rob
Correct.
Kelly O'Hara
And I'm filming a movie.
Boston Rob
This is my moment.
Kelly O'Hara
Yes.
Boston Rob
And I will shine.
Kelly O'Hara
Yes. Not like I'm lying to my closest loved ones.
Boston Rob
Yes. Yes. No, that's exactly.
Nick Viall
I would be curious how I could do as a trader, but I, I would have a lot of fun hunting the traders.
Boston Rob
I feel, Yeah, I feel like I'd be way calmer if I was A faithful. If I was a trader, I would be so stressed the whole time. I would be think I'm like, is did I do something that they now think they saw me scratch my ear and, like, turn left, you know, not to pivot.
Nick Viall
Because we'll jump back to traders when we have Boston Rob on. Can we go back to Beverly Hills Housewives for a second? Like, we're going to land on Dorit and PK's divorce, specifically around the friendship with Kyle.
Boston Rob
Right?
Nick Viall
Because after last night's episode, it's really getting messy. Like, the divorce. Like, I thought this was like, first I was like, okay, they're separating for the show.
Boston Rob
Oh, you thought.
Nick Viall
I mean, I didn't really know. Anything's possible in TV world. And then we have like, we have Mo and Kyle. Like, they are getting divorced, but they're still like, keeping the family together. That's always very confusing. Every time they get together, we're like, why can't they get back together? Because they're always so civil and they're so cute and thinking about the family. I don't know, like, up until like the past two episodes, it turns out that, like, I thought PK was just like the manager of Boy George and he's wearing tracksuits and like trying to embezzle money from England. And. And then next thing you know, you got. You got Garcel and Bose. But no, it was. Who was the one who told Dorit to, like, that PK is buying up all the lawyers in la.
Boston Rob
Oh, that was Bose.
Nick Viall
That was Bose. Okay. And I was. Where does PK have this power to like, to get all the. All the. All the divorce in la?
Boston Rob
Seems expensive.
Nick Viall
Seems. Yeah.
Kelly O'Hara
How many does he need exactly?
Boston Rob
I'm like, what? What? That wouldn't even cross my mind. I will say I have appreciated how outspoken Erica has been or just she's tried to help Dorit in this time and giving her advice because it's clearly necessary. I don't know if I'm just like missing something, but the 10 year mark is coming up and he's trying to divorce her before that because they have a prenup in place and he wants that prenup to be what decides to divorce or not.
Nick Viall
My understanding, just watching the show. So we're just. I'm going. We're both going off what the show. But my. My recollection of that scene was apparently in the state of California. I don't know this to be true. That regardless of whatever prenup you have, that if you are married for 10 years or more. Split 50, 50. Because California in general is one of two states, Wisconsin. But the other one, it's a 50 50. Like Cal, you know, every. Basically every state has their own prenuptial laws. Like, yes, if you don't have a.
Boston Rob
Prenup, you have a prenup. It's just.
Nick Viall
You have a prenup, it's just by state. And California says you get married immediately. Everything is 50, 50 in California. It's like, you can. Sure, you can have a prenup, but if you make it 10 years, you got to follow our rules is my understanding of what they said. And apparently they're coming up on their 10 year mark.
Boston Rob
But my question is, who's that in favor for if they were to end.
Kelly O'Hara
Up, oh, he want her money.
Boston Rob
Or I'm like, is he drawing?
Kelly O'Hara
She's getting his money.
Nick Viall
I don't know. Because, like, yeah, she is a Beverly Hills Housewives. They all like to pretend that these people don't have jobs. But, like, I would guess the Beverly Hills housewives are probably some of the highest paid housewives wives.
Boston Rob
I would think so.
Nick Viall
In. In Bravo Nation or just Bravo talent in general. And again, like, I know pk, like, manages Boy George, but what does this man, like? What does he do? Doesn't it, like, the past two episodes make the relationship between PK and Kyle, like, that much more? Like, what the.
Boston Rob
If they're still texting? Yeah.
Nick Viall
Dorit and Kyle are supposed to be friends. And I get that, like, Kyle and PK have become friends over the years of this marriage. You still have Mo and PK hanging out. Out. But if PK really is playing dirty and trying to screw his wife and his, you know, and just, you know, go to the mattresses, as they say, like, that seems really up that Kyle is maintaining this relationship with PK while PK is trying to basically screw over his wife financially.
Boston Rob
Yeah, I don't disagree. But I think what's funnier is that. Not this. That wasn't funny. I don't know why I said that. Is that Dorit at that dinner? And this is why I'm like, maybe Kyle doesn't realize how bad it is. One, I don't think she does realize maybe the dirtyness playing whatever behind the scenes between Dorit and PK that's happening. But Bose and Erica being like, honey, he's placating like, he is trying to calm you down for you, to catch you off guard, to then take you for all. Like. But again, I'm like, which. Who Who's. Who's trying to get divorced quicker?
Natalie
PK.
Nick Viall
It sounds like PK.
Natalie
It sounds like PK's trying to get divorced quicker because he's trying to not go over the 10 years. And he said.
Nick Viall
This is all speculation.
Natalie
No, this is what he said that was said on the show that he was. That he texted her saying, like, I want you to be able to take over the house and the kids, whatever it is, within like, the next couple of months, that you're fully responsible for it. And that's a text message that he sent to Dorit. So that says to me, like, I'm trying to separate our finances, trying to separate any responsibility that I have with you. So therefore, we are separated, going straight into divorce. At the same time, I don't know if it's possible because I feel like getting a divorce in California is, like, one of the harder things to move along. Like, I feel like it's always like a year or so out.
Nick Viall
If someone wants to delay it, they can.
Natalie
Yeah, but you can't get. Yeah, you can't get, like a. An expedite on divorce.
Boston Rob
Like, if he was to serve her divorce papers before the 10 years, does that constitute. Right. Like, does that mean that they beat the 10 year mark?
Kelly O'Hara
Was that not the most confusing conversation to find follow with Dorit being like, he.
Boston Rob
He.
Kelly O'Hara
We had a conversation and he was normal pk. Yeah. And it was like, no, he didn't say that. It was that.
Boston Rob
It was.
Kelly O'Hara
She.
Sam Asghari
He.
Kelly O'Hara
They were saying that. And then the kids were. I. We. Nick and I were like, do you follow what the they're talking about? I didn't even king up on that story ever. But then finally they were like, no. When they broke it down of like, he is trying to, like, corner you and calm you down so that you don't strike back, it all made sense. But for a while there, I was like, whoa, whoa.
Boston Rob
Do we.
Nick Viall
Whoa.
Boston Rob
Did they get divorced?
Sam Asghari
Yeah.
Nick Viall
Where are they now?
Boston Rob
Yeah, like, is it current, present time?
Nick Viall
And also, when was their wedding date?
Boston Rob
Oh, good question. Look it up. Is that public information?
Kelly O'Hara
Yeah, gotta be.
Nick Viall
It's gotta be.
Boston Rob
Gotta be.
Natalie
They got married in New York, March of 2015 and separated in May of 2024.
Boston Rob
So they're not divorced yet, but they're coming up on it March. And again, we don't know if it's for the benefit of PK or the benefit of 3, but we're assuming PK doesn't want to split 50.
Nick Viall
50. Well, these actions, again, we're all going off of we're learning from reality tv, so who knows? Yes, but that is suggesting that his. His actions are suggesting he wants to avoid this 10 year mark.
Boston Rob
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Nick Viall
And who knows what PK is worth? I don't know. Again, I'm a big believer that if you wear a full tracksuit and you're not an adult athlete and you're a white old guy, then you're probably an organized crime.
Natalie
He also has. This is Dorit. Will be his second ex wife. No, he has.
Boston Rob
Might be on to something.
Natalie
He has a wife, an ex wife and three children with somebody else that he also only stayed married to for nine years. But she's in England.
Nick Viall
No.
Natalie
So I don't think they have the same, like his statute of limitation, but yeah. He stayed married.
Nick Viall
He got how many kids?
Natalie
Three. All right. He's got two kids with Dorit and three with his exact ex wife.
Boston Rob
Wow. Talk about dropping a bomb.
Natalie
You know, somebody's got a.
Kelly O'Hara
Is that why he's. Is that why he goes to London a lot?
Boston Rob
Oh, no.
Kelly O'Hara
To see his other kids. You're also onto something, because they never talk about that.
Boston Rob
Are we all detectives in England?
Nick Viall
Well, either way, him and Mo are still, like, best friends.
Boston Rob
Well, but part of the episode was Mo was leaving for Europe, was gonna go to meditation and then, like, go party with PK in the south.
Nick Viall
They're like, okay, well, PK is seeing the type of women that Mo's hanging out with, and he's like, I want some of that.
Boston Rob
He's like, I will be attending that trip.
Kelly O'Hara
He acts like he is equal.
Nick Viall
He's like, when we're going to Aspen, Mo.
Kelly O'Hara
Yeah.
Boston Rob
I was like, not this time, pk. Oh, jeez.
Nick Viall
Anything else? You're watching? Enjoying. Are you watching Severance?
Boston Rob
No.
Nick Viall
Oh, Kelly, Is it good?
Boston Rob
You haven't seen it dark, right?
Nick Viall
No.
Boston Rob
Really dark?
Nick Viall
No.
Boston Rob
Oh, okay. Well, then I can.
Nick Viall
It's a little mind trippy.
Boston Rob
Okay.
Nick Viall
It's fascinating.
Boston Rob
I like mind trippy.
Nick Viall
Yeah. In no way dark. Not yet, right? No. Have you nobody. I don't think dark.
Boston Rob
No. Okay, good. I don't.
Kelly O'Hara
I don't think a few moments of.
Nick Viall
Like, give it three episodes. You're gonna have, you know, because at first.
Boston Rob
But it's season two, right?
Nick Viall
Yeah. Okay.
Boston Rob
Okay. So I need to watch season one.
Kelly O'Hara
Oh, my God.
Nick Viall
Yeah.
Boston Rob
Right. Okay.
Nick Viall
Yeah. Okay.
Boston Rob
I can do that.
Kelly O'Hara
It's a no phone show. Oh, you really need to pay. Yeah, yeah.
Nick Viall
Locked in.
Boston Rob
I'm able to do that if I know that I can, because the.
Nick Viall
The overall premise is super bizarre and weird, and they kind of slow. Oh, they. They introduced the premise early on, but you're kind of like, I still don't really understand what this means. And basically every episode from episode one to, like, season like, now, we're like an episode four. Season two is, like, more information of, like, what this concept means in this world. And it's just kind of a mind cool. And by kind of. It's awesome.
Boston Rob
I could be interested.
Nick Viall
You should watch it.
Boston Rob
Okay.
Nick Viall
Highly.
Boston Rob
All right. She's shaking her head. She knows I won't commit. I. I'm like, I'm classic for starting a TV show and then never finishing it.
Nick Viall
What's your favorite, like, scripted show that you really got into that you've.
Boston Rob
The only ones that I've watched from start to finish are, like, Gossip Girl.
Nick Viall
Okay.
Boston Rob
Entourage.
Nick Viall
Gossip Girl.
Boston Rob
Yeah.
Nick Viall
Okay.
Boston Rob
That was like. Was that high school for me? No. Was it? Oh, God, yeah. When was it? When did it come out?
Sam Asghari
Ah.
Natalie
2007.
Boston Rob
Oh, I was in college. I was in college.
Nick Viall
Who are your faves?
Boston Rob
Ed Westwick. Is that his name? But what. Chuck Bass.
Nick Viall
With him once.
Boston Rob
How was he?
Nick Viall
Good. I didn't really pay much.
Boston Rob
You guys. You guys didn't spar?
Nick Viall
No. We're both hitting bags.
Leia
Okay.
Boston Rob
But everyone, like, come on, Chuck, let's get in the ring.
Nick Viall
I didn't watch Gossip Girl.
Boston Rob
Okay. Was. It didn't interest you?
Nick Viall
I just. Yeah, I guess I didn't really know about it, to be honest. Like, I. I guess feel like it was playing with the worms.
Kelly O'Hara
No. Nick was, like, 50 when it came out. There you go. Wasn't his.
Natalie
I was a junior in high school.
Nick Viall
Do you have any opinion what's going on with the Hill?
Boston Rob
Justin Baldoni, Blake Lively, Literally, I feel like there's so many things that are coming out that I'm like, I. I'm gonna let them handle it. I'm gonna. I'm going to. When you guys get to the end of this, I would love to have a recap and understand how we got to. To.
Kelly O'Hara
Got it.
Boston Rob
The last square. Yeah. Yeah. Because it's just a while to get there. Yeah.
Nick Viall
There definitely is a lot, and I think there will continue to be more and more.
Boston Rob
Yeah, that makes sense.
Nick Viall
More and more information. Yeah, That's. That's the only reason why I asked. Only reason why I asked. But, you know, it's gotten real talk.
Boston Rob
It just seemed messy from the beginning, and it's just getting messier, and I don't get it. I'm like, I. I just.
Kelly O'Hara
It Is interesting that a judge, like, ordered Justin and his team to, like, shut up.
Boston Rob
Oh, did he?
Kelly O'Hara
He was like, see, I'm not. He's like, we will never get a jury that is, like, unbiased if you keep.
Boston Rob
Oh, right.
Kelly O'Hara
Stuff out there. Like, you've got to stop. It's got to, like, all be in court.
Nick Viall
I'm just kind of surprised that everyone's really ignoring the fact that he clearly, like, hired a crisis PR team to do exactly what's being done online to, like, basically destroy her. And everyone's just kind of focusing on if, like, Blake's kind of, like, difficult to work with.
Boston Rob
Really?
Nick Viall
Yeah.
Kelly O'Hara
You know, the Internet doesn't love a woman, you know, so pretty easy for them.
Nick Viall
There's a new clip going around then. It's like. It's like, from a couple years ago or something. And it's like. It's just like a Forbes conference or something. I don't. Something like that. And she's talking about her career, and Justin's team's narrative is basically like, you know, she's. She tried to take over the project. She's. She gave her opinions when it wasn't wanted or something. That's kind of the narrative.
Boston Rob
I'm sorry.
Nick Viall
It's wild. No, she took over. You know, even though, like, you know, Kurt Russell famously, like, directed Tombstone when he didn't direct it, and everyone sings his praises. But anyways, so, like, in this conference, Bike's, like, talking about how, like, you know, as a actor in Hollywood and as a woman, she at times, like, struggled to, like, feel like people valued her opinion, and she kind of had to speak up and assert herself, you know, to be heard. And now that's being used against her. And people are like, see? See? Tried to take over the project. Meanwhile, there's, like, this ET interview of Justin Baldoni from a couple months ago, talking about, like, Plan playing this character Ryle, who, like, his character is an abusive.
Boston Rob
Yes, I read the book. Hate it. That's why I think I just was like, I'm not participating in this movie, in anything.
Leia
I don't know.
Nick Viall
And in this interview, Justin's basically describing method acting. He's. And he's talking about how as this character, he. He took these chances and base. He's basically. He's telling on himself, describing, like, I didn't run this by Blake. I just decided to, like, lean in. And he was like. And then sometimes I would get this, like, uncomfortable look from Blake, and then I would know. And I'm like, like, you're huh?
Boston Rob
Yeah.
Nick Viall
And he's like describing the very thing that she's accusing him of and like, and no one's paying attention to that. Meanwhile, everyone's like, yep, See, she tried to take over the project because, like, she wanted to be heard. Anyways. We are definitely in the minority, right?
Boston Rob
Oh, interesting. Because you guys are team Blake.
Nick Viall
I'm, I am anti. I'm not Team Justice.
Boston Rob
Got it. Okay.
Nick Viall
But I think you, I think you have a healthy approach.
Kelly O'Hara
Like, I think we just wait till the end.
Nick Viall
Between now and then, I think there's just going to be more and more mass and mass and mass and mass and like, we'll just have to wait to see if it actually goes to trial.

Boston Rob
I started a show with Just Women Sports just launched. Sports are fun. We launched two weeks ago and a big part of like the format and how we set it up is based on this because I really enjoy how this has evolved and it's multiple perspectives and voices talking about pop culture but we obviously talk about sports so we set it up in a way to have like I have like a dedicated co host and great ideas. She's very basketball. I'm obviously soccer. We hired an intern, BJ Beckwith. He's like a star. He's in fashion, he's not even like in sports but loves women's sports. So yeah, that's why I was like I, I love y'all show just how it's set up and then we pulled elements from it to make ours which yeah, I wanted to tell you that that's very cool.
Nick Viall
Yeah, it really works for us.
Boston Rob
Yeah, I think it's great. That's why I enjoy, I enjoy listening cuz so many are like now. Yeah, yeah, we launched two weeks ago. Yeah. Sports are fun. Like subscribe follow. It's on Just Women sports channels and it's our weekly studio show covering women's sports. Comes out every Tuesday. Tuesday.
Kelly O'Hara
Can you find it on Apple?
Boston Rob
Yep, it's on YouTube. It's on anywhere you can find or listen to your podcasts and we're just gabbing sports, chit chatting like friends hanging out. Yeah, whatever's blowing up the group chat.
Nick Viall
What did you think about Sam? Britney Spears, Exxon traders?
Boston Rob
He's flying on the radar.
Nick Viall
He is.
Boston Rob
And I haven't listened to his going deeper but I want to because I like I just saw the snippets on.
Nick Viall
Instagram after interviewing him. And by the way, if you're listening, that episode came out yesterday so you can listen to it, check it out. But like you realize how much he's flying under the radar because he's very comfortable like letting people think that he's like the dumb model.
Boston Rob
Oh, smart. Yeah.
Nick Viall
Yeah.
Boston Rob
But it seemed like he had some interesting things to say on your yeah. Podcast.
Nick Viall
He's a fascinating story.
Boston Rob
Yeah.
Nick Viall
Just migrated here from Iran as a.
Kelly O'Hara
Kid and like he was like everyone's saying there's a gag order about me and Britney, there is no gag order. We were like, say more.
Boston Rob
Yeah, keep talking.
Kelly O'Hara
Well, perfect.
Nick Viall
Let's get into it before we get to Rob. Wait, I. I forgot coming in here that you were on back Higgins Season of the best.
Boston Rob
Oh, my God. Yeah, I was on it. Lol. Not a contestant.
Nick Viall
Not a contestant.
Natalie
Yeah.
Boston Rob
Yeah. We taught you play soccer. Yeah, Alex and I. Alex Morgan and I, we were tasked with a group date and teaching the girls soccer. And the one thing. I remember many things from that day, but the one thing that stands out in my mind beforehand, Alex was like, you know, I'm gonna ask in the opening scene when we're saying hi to the women, have any of you guys played soccer? She's gonna ask. And I was like, oh, yeah, like, for sure. There's 12, 15 girls here. One of them has to have played soccer.
Nick Viall
Has to.
Boston Rob
Has to. Like, just based on statistics alone in.
Nick Viall
America, even if in, like, park rack.
Boston Rob
Back in the day, right? Yeah, yeah, she asked that. And we're both like, being like, oh, my gosh, we can't wait to see the little soccer. Like, who's going to be the soccer player in the group? Not one hand goes up. Nobody says they had. We were like, oh.
Dylan
Huh.
Kelly O'Hara
All right, Starting from the basics.
Boston Rob
Okay, so this is a soccer ball, and this is how you kick it.
Kelly O'Hara
Use your feet.
Leia
Exactly.
Boston Rob
No hands. Unless I'm angle.
Nick Viall
I'm a little surprised by that same.
Boston Rob
I was like, where'd they find these girls interesting? I was shocked, but it was. It was really interesting. And another thing I remember we were sitting waiting in the green room. It was like a locker room. And we had on. They came and mic'd us up. And as they were, like, leaving the room, I took my mic pack and, like, turned it off and put it back in my pocket or whatever the. My waistband. And I don't know, it was a producer or like, Chris Harrison. He was like, you'd never be cast on the show. You're too smart for this. Like, you know that you can turn your, like, mic back off, you know, and stuff like that. And then, like, another thing was, producers took Alex and I aside to do interviews. And the way that they feed you questions, you can very clearly see how some of these girls say outlandish things because of.
Nick Viall
Because they don't even know what they're speaking about.
Boston Rob
Right. They're just like, reiterate. Like, they're basically just resaying what has been asked to them. Like, one of them was like, do you think that some of these girls look like baby giraffes out there. And I was like, no, you know, I'm not going to give you what you want here.
Nick Viall
Yeah, yeah. They'll be like, wasn't it really rude and really inconsiderate for Becky to interrupt Aaron? And they're like, yeah, no, totally.
Boston Rob
It was rude. Yeah, you're right.
Nick Viall
You know, you're right. Honestly, I would be pretty pissed off.
Boston Rob
Yeah, yeah, yeah. She sucks.
Nick Viall
And then all you get that is that she sucks. Yeah, sometimes you get it when, like, they. They could be saying that. Week two, you know, and then. And now. And now it's. No, not even flashback now it's week 10 and they're recapping a date, and then you hear the person's voice talking about them and you're not thinking because, you know, you're on your pH. You're watching the TV show, and you're just like, oh, I can't believe they said that. And it's like, they could have said that whenever.
Boston Rob
Right.
Nick Viall
About anything else. It's really kind of. It's. It's fascinating.
Boston Rob
Yeah. It's produced.
Nick Viall
It did remind me of a time, though, actually, one of the showrunners now who used to be a showrunner for the Canadian Bachelor. Oh, when I have that up there, they. They used to. It. I don't know how well it's doing anymore. But when I was the Bachelor, they had like, they had all, like, the franchise. Yeah, they have, like, they have Bachelor Finland, they have Bachelor Australia. Like, they have all these franchises.
Boston Rob
Of course they do.
Nick Viall
And so they brought in all the, like, showrunners from all around the world to, like, you know, I don't do like a meet or greet, and I was the current Bachelor, so they asked me to show up and just kind of meet people. And I was talking to Canadian executives, and it was really fascinating to hear them talking because, like, unlike a lot of my peers, like, I. Well, I do recognize that there's a lot of editing and, like, they can do and say crazy shit. There's also, like, no gun to your head. There's. You show up, you. You have agency. You can say no. You know, you can be like, yeah, I don't want to do that or say that or whatever. And, like, what the producers are there to do and what they're. They're more. What they're mostly notorious for doing is making you feel good about bad decisions. You know, they're not going to stop you making from bad decisions. But I remember talking to these executives and just how they were like, yeah, you know, honestly. Honestly, like, everyone blames producers, but, like, the edits are. They're. They're completely accurate. You know, they were just, like, dying on this vine. And I'm thinking, like, I'm talking to the person who's in charge of the edit.
Boston Rob
Yeah.
Nick Viall
So I'm like, well, yeah, it's accurate to you because we're watching the show through, like, your point of view, like, your opinion about these people. You get to control the edit. So, like, in your world, in your mind, it's completely accurate. You know, it's just like, the confidence that even the producers had in themselves. Because, like, I've had talked to a lot of producers. I've since left the show, and some of them have, like, a lot of, like, guilt.
Boston Rob
Yeah.
Nick Viall
I was going to say there's a lot of. It's a spectrum of justifications, like.
Boston Rob
Right.
Nick Viall
And, like, some of the producers don't do crazy, weird shit, and some of them are, like, sadistic.
Boston Rob
Do you get tat. Like, do you get paired up with a producer? Like, somebody's like, that's. That's your girl. No, that's your guy.
Nick Viall
It's more like, you know, like, you do become friends with the producers, and if you kind of connect with one, and that producer will become your producer. But that's more because, like, purely, it's like, hey, John, trust you. So, like, you should work with John and, like, get the most out of John, you know? Meanwhile, like, they're not. The producers are pretending to be friends.
Boston Rob
Ooh, rough. Shady. Yeah.
Nick Viall
But it does go both ways. And I will say that because the contestants also pretend to be the producers friends, because the producer, they start. They stop reaching other producers when the producers stop giving him things.
Boston Rob
Oh.
Kelly O'Hara
Let's ask Boston Rob what he thinks of the producers of Trader.
Boston Rob
Oh, yeah.
Nick Viall
All right, well, Boston Rob is ready to go. Let's bring him up. Rob.
Kelly O'Hara
Boston Rob.
Sam Asghari
What's up? Did it work?
Boston Rob
Wow. It worked.
Nick Viall
It worked. It worked. My wife. What did you say before you came on?
Kelly O'Hara
That, like, high school me is quaking. I'm actually. I'm unwell to be looking at your face right now and talking to you.
Nick Viall
Oh, thank you.
Kelly O'Hara
You're an icon. You're a legend.
Nick Viall
Oh, I'm looking at that artwork in the background. Okay, so Boston Red. Oh, that's very cool.
Sam Asghari
My wife got me that. That's a wedding present a lot of years ago.
Nick Viall
A lot.
Sam Asghari
A lot of years ago. Now.
Nick Viall
That's great. Really kind of owning that Boston Rob name. Yeah. Rob, we Obviously loved watching you on Traders. I'm not someone who watched Survivor, so I was, I was new to who you were and as someone who has been on reality TV before, like, I just got to say you really are truly a reality TV star. Like you, I think there's a lot of people who go on these shows and like, everyone who goes on reality TV is just like, given the title of reality TV star, but there are some stars and there are some people who show up, but like, damn, man, you dominated the first. How many, how many episodes has it been? It's been the Rob show.
Boston Rob
Yeah.
Nick Viall
And I got to say, I'm just really impressed you, you, you've been fun to watch. I'm a bit worried going forward, you know, like, why are we going to give a shit? But anyways, I just want to say to much respect, you were a force in that show and it's been very cool, man. What did you think of the experience?
Sam Asghari
Fun to do, you know, like, it was, it was a different experience. They'd been asking me since the first season to do it and just like timing and everything else, I kind of wanted to see what it was about first. And then this season it worked out and, you know, despite the result, I'm still happy that I went. I had a, I had a great time and it was a lot of fun. Look it, I've been doing these things for over two decades now, so I can't really go into any, any of these competition type shows without having a big target on me. So I kind of expected to feel the heat from the beginning and we made the most of it. Right?
Nick Viall
Yeah, you, you really did. Did you feel like you were forced to play as aggressively as you did because, like, it just, you know, as a viewer, it really looks like you showed up guns a blazing and really embrace the target on your back. It's almost like you were in survival mode since the moment you got there.
Sam Asghari
Yeah. So, I mean, initially that wasn't my plan, but like, with any of these shows and competitions, like, you can't really have a plan and think you're going to just execute it flawlessly. Like the key is to be able to adapt to different situations. And when I showed up in Scotland the night before we were about to start, the producers, like, told me about this twist they wanted to do and for all the reasons in the world, I told them why it wasn't a good idea because like, theoretically none of them should, should, should shake his hand to let me in. You're already elevating me and put me on this pedestal. So even if they do, they're not gonna like that. And they're like, don't worry if it doesn't work. We have another way. We'll get you in. And then I heard about the. You know, they wouldn't tell me. I said, what is it? They're like, we'll tell you later.
Kelly O'Hara
Yeah, they're like, we shot down our first idea. We're not telling you any more of ours.
Nick Viall
The other way you're gonna me to answer your question.
Sam Asghari
And, you know, my plan was to not play as aggressively because, I mean, game theory, optimal strategy for this show is to keep your mouth shut and not say anything right until the end. You gotta get to the end. But because of the situation I was put in with the way it started and everything else, with my reputation, I'm not able to play that optimal theoretical game. I have to play my game. And even still, when I enter the turret with the other other guys, I still was gonna let them take the lead right up until the point where I realized that, you know, Bob was targeting myself, Carolyn. And then I just. I can't be a passenger in a car that's gonna crash. Like, I gotta grab the wheel and take control of my own fate. And it makes for good tv.
Nick Viall
Yeah, it was great tv. Do you think it almost felt like the biggest challenge for. For people like you and like, say, Wes and just like kind of other gamers, as you guys kind of are known as, compared to like, say, the Housewives or people from the Bachelor franchise. It seemed like, to really work against you, that there are a lot of people who really weren't showing up to play a game. Almost like, you know, who knows? Like, we talked to. To Derek and, you know, he kind of flat out said, like, you know, other people from his perspective were more like, making sure that they were, well, like, conscious of the edit or things like that. And here you are playing the game. Did you feel that while doing it, as opposed to, like, being on Survivor, everyone's playing the same game. Everyone knows why they're there. You were playing a game that other people weren't even participating in. Sometimes it felt like.
Sam Asghari
So that's the thing, like. And like, I don't want to, like, nerd out on you, but, like, you can go into the different levels of the meta game and it, like, it will go beyond. And if you have someone that's just showing up for this experience, they're almost like wild cards. They don't want to participate in that. So then you have to find out how does that factor into the event equation. I found it interesting that, like, I was able to bond and become friends with people outside of the reality gamer space. And to me, that was like one of the biggest takeaways, you know, becoming friends with Dylan, they didn't really show it a lot, but I worked really well with Chris, Shell and Nikki and even Sierra. So to take like a relationship that, like, with people that don't have that back background and figure out how to utilize it within the game without them knowing that you're doing that takes a special skill set that like, you know, like I've been able to do for a lot of years. So I feel like I'm good at it. The converse to that is someone like Bob the drag queen, who has no gamer background, but he is so super smart and really good at identifying, you know, the psychology of different people. And I was able to. To witness that firsthand and I was really impressed by it right up until the point where he pointed the target at me. But yeah, it's interesting. And in previous seasons you've seen it with like, Phaedra, really good at strategy and stuff. So it's weird to see the crossover and at the same time, sometimes the gamers kind of like fall short when they enter the castle where they might be great in their respective individual. Individual games.
Nick Viall
Yeah. So who do you think now that. Now that you're gone, how do you anticipate the trade? Like Danielle and Caroline, how do you anticipate them operating? And then who in your mind do you think is kind of flying under the radar as we're watching it as viewers in this moment?
Sam Asghari
Yeah. So the, the turret right now is a mess and I fully own it. Like, I know that I caused that whole thing and it's. It's a disaster. It really is. And just the lack of trust is, you know, it's supposed to be a game where the traders are against the faithful, and this season it's the traitors against the faithful and the traitors against each other. And. And when you have three people and even four really with Bob, but people that really understand, as I said before, the metagame, you see not only. Only like just the game on its surface, you know, trying to stay away from the faithful, but also who do you want to bring to the end? And you see the alliances and you see all of that working. So it's such a mess that I don't know, you know, if they're going to be able to put Their differences aside and work together, I don't. And as far as who I think has played a good game under the radar, you know, Dylan, he's great. He was so perceptive at first. I mean, he's had some misfires. You know, he's, he's focused on Gabby. Gabby's another one. She's playing really, you know, like low key and pretending like she doesn't care and doesn't know what's going on. But I think she's more perceptive than she's leading on to be.
Nick Viall
Yeah, yeah, Gabby's, Gabby is pretty sharp. We, we know her. And I'm not surprised to hear, to hear you say that.
Boston Rob
I feel like of all the people at the roundtable, when you were tasked with giving your reason as to why you were not a trader, giving your stick or like you're, you know, I'm gonna explain to you guys why I'm not. You were so calm and put together in that moment and so many people, even if they aren't traders, become almost upset or defensive or scared, kind of chaotic. When you went into round tables, you were like, I know what people, the reasons people are going to bring against me, therefore I have my speech put together together. Or were you like in the moment able to pivot and kind of recalibrate and come up with really good reasoning? Because we knew you were a trader from home and even sometimes you would start, you would start to give your spiel and I'm like, he's not a trader.
Kelly O'Hara
He's not.
Boston Rob
He's convincing.
Sam Asghari
No, it's a good question. I have always been really good, like in the moment and like, you know, quick witted. I think growing up in Boston, working in construction, like you catch a lot of shit when you're on the, on the construction sites and you better be sharp and figure it out. So I never really planned anything like truthfully, even Derek coming at me, that was a complete surprise. I didn't expect him to come at me. But something that happened previously helped me to defend against that. And I'll discuss that in a second. But to directly answer your question, you have to understand your audience, right? So like different people I would need to appeal to differently. And I think that just comes from like years of experience of playing with people playing these games, but also having self awareness to know what different people needed. Some people that were more emotional, you had to appeal to their emotional side. Other people like Tom, you'd have to appeal to his ego. Other people like Iver and Sam, you'd have to appeal to those logic. So I had would have to figure out an argument depending on what the question was asked or how it was going to go one way or the other. With Bob the Drag Queen, they cut a lot of it out. But like, I started that, you know, like, I didn't really want to have to go after him so early, but once I saw that he pointed out like the guys in the cages, personally, I was like, man, he's got to go, because I got to get him before he gets me. In hindsight, maybe I didn't have to do it that exact day, but I had already started to spread it around the castle and when I did, you know, I can't like, put the lid back on it. It's out now. And truthfully, that round table was going towards Sierra and, and, and Nikki, and I'm the one that kind of steered it towards Bob. But in the moment when I did, I came at him and I came at him hard and I knew I had to, like, get him. I had to be hardcore about it. And it was a lot more than you guys saw. It was a lot of back and forth. But at one point, as I'm accusing him, he turns it around and he says, and you're saying that about me, but it applies to you. And I stopped him. I was like, you see that? That's a mirror technique where someone tries to turn it right back on you. So fast forward to when Derek accuses me. I think he thought I was going to turn it back around and come at him and he was going to use mirror stuff against them. But really quickly in the moment, I realized that by doing that it would be a huge mistake. So his argument was that one of the three of us were, were going to be. One of the three of us from the cages were going to be a traitor. I agreed with them. I said, derek, I think you're right. I think one of the three of us is a traitor. And I actually don't think it's you. And I pointed it towards Wes and Wes, like, was completely not expecting that. And then his response. Reaction set off a chain reaction of events.
Kelly O'Hara
You're so good. Crazy.
Boston Rob
Jesus.
Nick Viall
Yeah, that's awesome, man. We, we're learning so much. You're seeing this in the past couple episodes. There's comments like, everyone knows you're a faithful Tom Sandoval. I think people have said this about Dylan. What is it about some of the people in the castle that like, everyone just decides. We just know they're a faithful and it does feel like I saw this last season, too. They never. They never say that about someone that ends up being a traitor. It definitely is. Someone like Peter Weber last year, you know, like, you know, for a moment was like, this guy we know he's a faithful. Where do you think that comes from? And, like, what are people reading when they. When they say that?
Sam Asghari
I mean, like, a lot of times, like, you can logically figure out people that would be faithful so you can make a case for it. And I actually did this season with a few of the people, and that's why they're not being looked at. For example, in the very first roundtable, Bob the Drag Queen voted for Ivor. I made the argument that now that we know that Bob the Drag Queen is a traitor, there's no way that Iver could be a traitor, because logically, a traitor wouldn't vote for a trader the very first night, and that other trader would be okay with it. So Ivor is now vindicated. So why isn't Ivor being killed? Right. So it makes sense that he's a faithful. And I. I literally exonerated him with. With these statements. Now I could have like, gone a step further and been like, well, why is he still here? Why is he still here? And I was like, well, maybe he is a traitor, you know, and that's why, like, that was the other way I was going to go against. Instead of going against Britney, or I could have gone against Danielle that night. There's so much more to the meta. Like, when you understand the rul. At the point where if we get another trader, now we have to recruit and everybody thinks, or if they think I'm a faithful, I am also the number one person that would be recruited.
Nick Viall
Yeah, right. Yeah.
Sam Asghari
So now I got to try to keep this mess of a turret together, and it just doesn't make sense. So I think, to go back and answer your question, I know I did in a roundabout way. I think sometimes it's the perception. Perception of. You just get a feeling sometimes somebody's doing some groundwork to make you feel a certain way. I know Sierra was definitely shocked that I was a traitor when I finally, you know, stood up and said I was. But I did so much groundwork to make her think that I was a faithful between, like, the logic and the reasoning. I used her example of being placed in the casket because I knew she was a faithful. It was like they're trying to frame me the same way they're trying to frame you. And, you know, in her Mind, she's like, yeah, that makes sense. You're absolutely not. You can't be. They're doing it to you too. So when you can put yourself in the position of that other player and find some relatability, then you almost will convince yourself of it. I mean, it's a lot of it psychology, but like, a lot of it is also like just common human interactions with other people in relationships that they have. Like, you don't want to believe the person that you trust is tricking you, because if you, if you do, then you have to literally admit that you were wrong. And like, people don't like to admit they're wrong. They don't like to admit that they're convictions. I mean, if they did, like, everybody's relationships would be great. Right. The first thing you is you defend your position. And if your position comes from a place of internal conviction, like, forget it. You just crush yourself.
Nick Viall
Exactly. Because we all love to think we're good at reading people. I've never heard someone say, you know what? I'm really, I'm bad at reading people. You know, I've never heard that. You know, everyone always says they're so good at reading people. And like, to your point, Rob, to acknowledge that, like, you really stood by someone who ended up being a traitor, like, kind. It's a. Not only do they want. Not want to admit it, it's a little unnerving to realize who have I had conviction about in the real world that I was wrong about and maybe like, never really found out they were doing me dirty. You know, it's. It's a, It's a kind of a spooky, eerie feeling.
Sam Asghari
Yeah. The next thing you know, you got to go to Vegas and get hugs in the hallway with your buddy.
Natalie
That video is so cute, by the way.
Sam Asghari
That video.
Kelly O'Hara
Yeah. Yeah. Have you read reached out to Sierra or Dylan, the people that were really shocked by your traitor ness?
Sam Asghari
I did. I. I mean, Dylan and I have been. Been friends and been in touch since we filmed this last summer. He's good. And I did reach out to, to Sierra, to Bob the Driver, like everybody, you know, and I'm looking forward to seeing everybody at the reunion. You know, it's tough. It's also like, I've been playing these games for, for, for 22, 23 years, so I have a unique perspective that a lot of people don't. And I can go and play and I realize it's a part of my life. It's something that I've done. It's not my life, even though, like, collectively, I guess it is. But, like, I'm okay, you know what I'm saying?
Kelly O'Hara
After the fact, Are you tired of playing the games? Like, is there any part of you that's ready to retire or are we gonna see you on a seventh season of Survivor or Special Forces or another show?
Sam Asghari
I mean, I thought I was retired, you know, and then. And then about a year ago, they called me for this Dealer no Deal island. And then I did this. And it's weird because, like, I always thought I would transition to hosting something. Like, I really, like, I thought, like, that would be the evolution. But it's funny, the last couple years, I've enjoyed playing so much again that I wonder, like, if I were hosting a show, if I would just, you know, become frustrated with not being able to compete. I think I got to figure out some way to do some kind of a hybrid thing where I'm actually still actively doing something like player coach or something.
Nick Viall
Well, how is Deal or no Deal Island?
Sam Asghari
Yeah, it was wild. I mean, a different strategy, different experience for me because usually when I'm on an island, like, I'm starving and suffering and, you know, not eating. And this was like the Bankers Island. It was very luxurious. They took care of us at the same time. The strategy to that game is much, much different than. Than Survivor in that, like, there's so much that you can't control. You know, like, similar to Trader, like, Traders was probably the hardest. Like, not the physically the hardest. Survivors are physically the hardest, but, like, strategically and mentally, Traders was beyond. And I think just because of the sheer number of people, like trying to manage 23 people versus versus only 10 people on a tribe or 12 on deal and no deal, it became really challenging even for someone like myself that's been doing it a long time.
Nick Viall
It's clear how. Just how things are really outside of your control in Traders. Like, there's just a lot of variables that you just. There's not much you can do. You really have to be very adaptive, it seems.
Sam Asghari
It's true. And in Deal or no Deal, like with Survivor, like, you really rely on your strategy and your social game to get you to the end and potentially to win, you know, based on how you treat the other people, you know, to base to. To vote on the jury. With Dealer no Deal, there are parts of it where you can control your fate and your outcome, whether it's in the challenges or how you treat people at the camp. But there's also a huge element of luck, like what goes on in the banker's temple. And at first, when they. When they told me the. The premise of the game, they didn't give us the rules till we got there. And I looked at it, and I was like, man, this is terrible. And they said, why? And I said, the problem is, like, you're giving so much power to the people on the bottom. The people that do the worst, all they have to do is win a coin flip against the banker, and if they do, they have all the power to eliminate someone else. And I was just like, man, I can't believe you brought me all the way out here for this. And it's a lot. And then as time went on, I realized, like, man, this is actually genius. This is actually like a. Like, Just like a little. A little bit of, like, how life is, you know, like, there's so much you think that's actually in your control, but really so much of it is left to chance.
Nick Viall
Yeah.
Sam Asghari
And really, in order to live in that game, you got to be willing to die. You got to put your life on the line and risk it to play the banker. That's the only way you actually have control. And it's, like, so true of real life that, like, you know, nothing comes just from playing it safe all the time. Once in a while, you got to take a chance, Right?
Nick Viall
Absolutely.
Kelly O'Hara
So you lost to your wife in Survivor. Did she give you any tips going into Trader?
Sam Asghari
Did I really lose, though?
Nick Viall
Sure.
Kelly O'Hara
That's true.
Sam Asghari
You know, at this point, I think she would probably tell me, keep your mouth shut. Try to be. But she knows me too well. I'm just going to do what I. I'm gonna do. So there was no discussion.
Nick Viall
When you're watching it back with her, is she. Is she giving you notes? Is she critiquing your moves?
Sam Asghari
No, she loved it. You know, my kids are old enough now. I have teenage daughters that. It's so fun because, like, I'm. I, you know, I'm embracing, like, being a dad. I'm in that role where I'm really embarrassing them. You know, when I use the word sus incorrectly, you're so cringe. And it's. It's so much fun to, like, you know, to do a show like this and let them kind of watch it and, you know, it's a fun family thing.
Kelly O'Hara
Now, what has been your girl's reaction?
Sam Asghari
They loved it. You know they loved it. They're obviously, you know, this week, I wasn't here. I was with some friends on a golf trip, but they were Disappointed, you know, that it was over, but, like, you know, it's a good teaching lesson, too. It's like, you don't always have to win to get something out of it, and. And overall, it's just, like, a really positive experience for me.
Nick Viall
That's awesome, Rob. Thanks for taking the time, man. Do we have any other questions for Rob before we let him go?
Natalie
I was just wondering if you won brownie points with your girls going on vacation with Dylan.
Sam Asghari
Oh, when I went to play golf with Dylan. Yeah. I mean, I don't. I'm the worst. Like, I didn't know. I didn't know about his brother and the whole High School Musical, and. And I think that's probably why, like, really good friends, but they're a little young for it, but they, like. Everybody else thinks Dylan's really cute, right?
Nick Viall
Same. Yeah.
Sam Asghari
He's so cute.
Nick Viall
All right, Rob, appreciate your time, man. Thanks for all the insight. It's been an absolute pleasure to watch you. And we. I think I speak for everyone. We're. We hope to see you back on some show sooner than later.
Sam Asghari
Amazing. Thanks, Nick.
Nick Viall
Take care, buddy. All right. Bye. Bye.
Kelly O'Hara
I love him so much.
Nick Viall
So much fun.
Kelly O'Hara
I love him so much.
Nick Viall
Did you watch Survivor?
Boston Rob
No, I never watched, so I knew nothing about him, but I was like, this guy's a killer.
Kelly O'Hara
No, I mean, he was like, heart Rob. Yeah, that's what I heard.
Boston Rob
I saw pictures.
Kelly O'Hara
He was so good. And.
Nick Viall
Bring up. Bring up the heart, Rob. Leia.
Kelly O'Hara
Find my heart.
Nick Viall
Rob.
Leia
The heart Rob is. We just saw him on the screen.
Kelly O'Hara
That is still him. He's still in there.
Nick Viall
No, I'm not. I'm just saying. But, like, there was.
Kelly O'Hara
He's in there. I saw it. Look at him. I mean, he was, like, 26. He was young when he went on the first season, I think, babe. No, he was like. Yeah, he was the heart. He was definitely the heartthrob. For sure. I mean, six seasons and he never won. I think he did.
Boston Rob
Oh, he did.
Natalie
I think.
Kelly O'Hara
Yeah. I mean, I know his wife won the season. They were on together. It was like season eight, I think.
Boston Rob
That's incredible story, right?
Leia
He won season in 22.
Kelly O'Hara
22. Thank you. Took him a while, but he got.
Nick Viall
Now, before we let Kelly go, we need to ask her about who's getting the remote.
Boston Rob
The remote. If.
Kelly O'Hara
Someone. If. Okay. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. If you are in the bed first, I want.
Nick Viall
I want your opinion on this, too.
Kelly O'Hara
If you're in the bed first.
Boston Rob
Right.
Kelly O'Hara
Do you run the Errands, like the nighttime errands. Like the. Like. Got to get the water, got to lock the doors, turn off the lights, turn on the fan, do like, all the things.
Boston Rob
So I feel like we split this pretty evenly, but yeah, if somebody is going to bed early, someone's in bed first. Right, but are you getting in bed first for the purpose of getting out of the errands?
Kelly O'Hara
Yes, yes, yes.
Boston Rob
Well, then you're just smarter.
Natalie
Exactly.
Boston Rob
Therefore, you win.
Kelly O'Hara
Thank you. Case closed.
Nick Viall
If you didn't get your way, would you start singing in bed for the.
Boston Rob
Things that you wanted?
Kelly O'Hara
This is my dream.
Nick Viall
Singing.
Kelly O'Hara
That's what I just kept singing. He was like, shut up. Get out of the bed. Go get the remote. And then I started reading my book out loud.
Nick Viall
To be clear, I did not want to. I did not care if you watched tv. She wanted to watch tv. We couldn't find the remote. And she.
Boston Rob
She was like, I was here first, therefore you have to go get it.
Nick Viall
I was like, no. Yeah.
Kelly O'Hara
So I said, find it.
Nick Viall
So I got on my laptop and then she started reading out loud for 20 minutes.
Boston Rob
The old bedtime routine. Sounds super fun.
Nick Viall
Yeah.
Kelly O'Hara
If you ever want to come over.
Nick Viall
Usually we get along really well.
Kelly O'Hara
Yeah.
Natalie
If you do come over, just know you will be asked to get the water.
Kelly O'Hara
So someone's got a refresher.
Leia
And you'll be sharing the water too, by the way.
Nick Viall
But Natalie collects them.
Boston Rob
Oh, the. Like from a. From the big old. Exactly how you understood it from like a 7 11.
Kelly O'Hara
No, they'll.
Natalie
They have just a large water cup that they share between the two of them.
Nick Viall
Oh, it's for every meal.
Natalie
Not on either side. On one side.
Nick Viall
In the middle of the night.
Boston Rob
Ask me.
Nick Viall
Can you mask me the water for every meal?
Kelly O'Hara
For every meal?
Nick Viall
No, for every meal first.
Kelly O'Hara
For like if we're sitting down for supper together, for breakfast, lunch, like, we make one.
Nick Viall
If we have company, we will like, pretend we're not animals. Yeah, but when it's just us and our daughter, it's a Stanley cup.
Boston Rob
I have never met a couple who's done that.
Nick Viall
Is that crazy?
Natalie
Blows my mind every time they say.
Leia
It is crazy.
Kelly O'Hara
Yes, it's crazy.
Boston Rob
Oh, we each have our own glass of water, right? Yeah. We don't bring water. She has like, her stand family. But I drink like a little like nighttime sleepy time drink and I'll. Whoever's making themselves one, they'll be like, hey, do you want one? And then they'll make you. I'll either make it for her.
Kelly O'Hara
Y'all are healthy. I get it.
Boston Rob
Yeah, we definitely do. Y'all don't know my dream.
Kelly O'Hara
Oh, my God. It's my favorite thing ever.
Natalie
I couldn't live without it.
Kelly O'Hara
It's my favorite thing ever. There's nothing better than getting cozy and kind cuddling and watching a movie in a dark, cold.
Boston Rob
Will you fall asleep while watching it?
Nick Viall
Yes.
Kelly O'Hara
Maybe. But it's up for debate.
Natalie
I put on a sleep timer and Michael Scott talks me to sleep every night.
Boston Rob
And then it shuts off eventually.
Natalie
I don't need.
Nick Viall
It's not good for your rem. I just want to say.
Boston Rob
Yeah, no, this is. Guys, we gotta talk about this.
Kelly O'Hara
Yeah, I don't need it to fall asleep, but I do love to, like, get in the bed after a long day and, like, lay down and cuddle and be warm and cozy and watch a show. Turn on, off the show.
Nick Viall
But sometimes I'm ready for bed, so I'll just close these baby eyes. And now I will have to turn on her tv and then she will fall asleep, only for me to have to wake up and then turn off the tv.
Boston Rob
You are selling it as very cozy.
Kelly O'Hara
It is cozy. I do it for the codes.
Boston Rob
However, it is very bad for your sleep.
Kelly O'Hara
But I don't watch it to go to sleep.
Boston Rob
No, no.
Nick Viall
I'm just saying because of your reasoning for watching. Watching it.
Kelly O'Hara
Well, I didn't have.
Boston Rob
Doesn't seem like you were having an issue with it. Therefore, continue.
Nick Viall
Have.
Boston Rob
Nick get the Big Gulp.
Kelly O'Hara
Nick, get the Big Gulp. Nick, find the remote.
Boston Rob
Yeah.
Kelly O'Hara
I won't be singing.
Nick Viall
Is it crazy that we share a Big Gulp? Every.
Boston Rob
I have never encountered. Heard of. But I. I'm here for it.
Kelly O'Hara
That's crazy.
Boston Rob
I support it.
Kelly O'Hara
No one has, in person, in the moment, shamed us.
Boston Rob
Well.
Kelly O'Hara
So I. You know, like, if we're like you.
Boston Rob
Said, if you have people over, you get two glasses. So you're not really showing your true self.
Kelly O'Hara
That's true.
Boston Rob
We're.
Nick Viall
L. I don't know. I don't. I might have lied about the two glasses.
Boston Rob
If you have company, I might get, like. I'm picturing you guys. I'm picturing, like, lady in the Tramp. Like, you guys put a Stanley in the middle. You have, like, a long straw. And you guys, like, both, like, lean.
Nick Viall
No, there. That's basically.
Kelly O'Hara
There's only one straw.
Nick Viall
There's one straw.
Boston Rob
But you just, like. You're like, oh, I'm going to sip this and then put it back in the middle.
Kelly O'Hara
Okay.
Boston Rob
Like, neutral territory.
Nick Viall
I don't Even need a straw.
Kelly O'Hara
But I need the straw.
Nick Viall
We have a straw. Wow, that's. That's cool.
