Hello, everyone, and welcome to another episode of Behind the Rose podcast.

I'm your host, here with my buddy as usual, Eric Bradley. And it is Monday night right after the first episode of Katie's season. And we have special guests here for the recap. Jason Tardek, Jason, thanks for coming on, dude. Guys, it's so good to see you. So good to see you. It's been a minute. It's been a minute. Last time I was on, you were drilling me about the engagement. Here we are. We did it. Here we are, man. We'll get into

that later for sure. Oh, let's do it now. Congrats, man. Thank you. I wish we had some champagne. I haven't had enough in the last couple weeks. Well, we haven't celebrated anything with you in a long time. Oh, I know, dude. We'll be out there soon. Forever. Yeah, we'll come out to Nashville.

But, uh, dude, yeah, you nailed that. Forever. Yeah, we'll come out to Nashville.

But, dude, yeah, you nailed that.

First of all, you crushed the ring. Let's talk about that. Yeah, where the hell did you get that? Did you mind that yourself? Where the fuck does one find one of the others? I wish I mind that thing myself. What's funny is, I mean, a little backstores. is I was working with a couple of jewelers in New York City for a while.

And I knew exact, I mean, you know, you guys, a little back story is I was working with a couple of jewelers in New York City for a while.

And I was, I knew exact.

I mean, you know, you guys know a little analytical, do my research. I knew exactly what I wanted. And I'm like, nope, let's go. I need this. They couldn't get exactly what I wanted. And then there was a jeweler out of Edmonton that reached out to me. And she's like, hey, I'm not sure.

I don't want to presume anything.

I'm sure if you're in the market.

But if you are, I'm not sure. I don't want to presume anything.

I'm sure if you're in the market. But if you are, I would love to have the opportunity to be your jeweler of choice. And so the two places in New York City were like, I felt as though I was

a pretty small fish in their pond, if you will. Like they're dealing, they have some big people that are working with. And this woman was amazing. A diamond I was trying to get for about six months. She was able to get literally the exact stone I was looking for for six months in less than a week. And she came like so prepared and like it was wild. When you guys

get in the bit, when you're getting the market, you let me know. Because she keeps with like these like these mood boards of what Caitlin wore like red carpets. And she's like, this is the style. And she like had all these custom designs. And so personal, such a nice touch. It was parish jewelers. They killed it. couldn't have done it without him.

And I also had Caitlin's best friend

to help me out with cutting design and stuff.

Wow, that's good to know.
