  Speaker 1: watched in the longest time. I felt like, for the
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: first time I was watching an episode of Finale like
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: I did when I was just a fan, and I
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: got so giddy, like I got a lump in my throat.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: It wasn't like I was happy for my friend. I
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: was just like, happy for these two people in love.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: It's so it was so good strongly disagree. So so
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: before we dive into unpopular popular opinions, because Ashley did.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: She walked into studio and was ecstatic, I mean, just bright,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: cheery eyed, skipping, so like, looking at all of us
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: being like, are you excited? We're like, I think so,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: But we're reading the internet and the internet isn't isn't
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: exactly sharing the same emotions. So let's pause there because
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I want you to save this excitement to explain this episode.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: But we have to start, I think because Hannah, Gee
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: just got off the show last night, and Hannah, you
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: come in here. You're a fan favorite. You walk into
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: studio and we're all excited to see you. Last night
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: was your your exit from the show. It was an
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: odd exit in our opinion, because you weren't. We didn't
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: even know if you're still there, like we thought maybe
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: you would already gone home, and then all of a
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: sudden you pop back up on our screens. I mean,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: we don't want to be insensitive to the idea that
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: you were let go last night, but it was months
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: ago at this point. Um, what are your emotions walking
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: into last night and now today as you wake up
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: off the show? So oh, it sounds basic in this
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: this is her first podcast, and so yeah, she has
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: the headphones on. Actually I'm gonna snap a picture and
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna post this as she talks. Um,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: you're the cutest person ever. You guys are cuting. Hannah
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: be is my favorite and cutest person ever. But I
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: gotta say, you're a close here, and it's kind like,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I don't I want you here all the time, just
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: like hang out with I'll just come and sit in
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: here and listen all the time. I wish they would
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: have shown more of this on the show. We'll shoot
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: kind of same. Right, I've heard us about you being
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: so delightful and now I'm experiencing it. Let's go back
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: to Ben's question because okay, sorry, all right, Um, you know,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: like I said, it's been months since the whole breakup
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: and all of that happened, but um, I just know
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: for me, it's been every single day I've been having
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: you know, kind of struggles with this. And you know,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: although time helps and there's closure and all of that
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff, it's like at the end of the day,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: like that moment last night brought me back to it.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: You know, for me, I didn't know if I was
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: gonna cry or if I was gonna be all happy,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: go lucky, like woo, yeah you team, I'm fine, And
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: really I'm not because I've had a lot of like
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: hard days, um, going throughout all of this and kind
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: of living in the past and everything. But um, yeah,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: last night brought it all back and it was real.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: And then I know in the moment, I was so scared,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: but for some reason, I was just like, Okay, I
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: have not gone through all of this too, not speak
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: my heart and get all of these questions answered because
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: my emotions were so real. And you know, I've I've
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: heard you guys say before, I've heard anybody on the
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: past season say like, you know, when your heart's in it,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: it's hard, and just like, okay, but I'm watching that
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: like watching this on TV. It's entertainment whatever. But being
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: in that position and having those moments be really really
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: real and really hard, um wasn't fun. But when out
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: there did my thing marked off all my questions that
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: I wanted to ask, and I felt like I walked
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: off stage like like Superwoman or something. You got the
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Superwoman applause from the internet, that's for sure. People were
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: loving you and you were so articulate, and you just
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: came out you didn't have you didn't come across to
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: have a nervous build in your body. I felt really calm.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know why, but it was like, you know,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: before I was kind of pacing my room and I
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: was like, oh my gosh, what did I sign up for.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: I'd rather just like do a conference call and get
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: closure instead, like I don't want to watch this. This
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: is terrible. Um, but you know, I think it was
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: good to have all that built up and just freaking
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: do it, and um it felt good. And I feel
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: like I did get some closure. And there's no perfect
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: way to be like, oh, this would have been a
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: better way to break up with me, and this would
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: have you know, this was hard. It's like he had
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: to go with this gut and um, it just sucks
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: in my case, and there's no better way to put it.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: And it's just been hard for me because I thought otherwise.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: But I think for you, there hasn't been an elimination
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: in the top three that has so many what ifs
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: attached to it, because if you were the first date
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: that week, I don't know how it would have played out.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I really wonder if he would have taken the two
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: of you to top two. Yeah, I it's just a
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: what if thing, you know. And something that was weird
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: is when he was breaking up with me, he was like,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I thought it was you the whole time. That would
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: be weird for him to say, and that's fine, But
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: then watching back and watching him tell Cassie the night
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: before that, oh I think about you on with other women.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I'm like, but which one is true? Then? Like those
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: are both opposite statements and whatever, true false, whatever. He's happy,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: and um, you know, I want somebody who just would
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: love me back, and um, I think it's as simple
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: as that. Even though, um, it wasn't fun, but I
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: am glad I finally spoke my piece. Like this whole time,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: it's like who's hanging Where's her personality? And I'm like, hey, guys,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I kind of do have a personality, Like that's how
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I connect with people every day. It's like I'm kind
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: of quirky, I'm kind of weird, I'm a great listener,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: a good friend, whatever. But and it's worked in real life,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: but for this it was like WHOA, Like you know,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: it's only shown such a small part of who I am.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: And I was like, well, we're alive and you can't
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: edit this out, so let's freaking go. I love because
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: look at how much personality you have. And then all
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: they showed on the show was like you guys making
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: out like you were like the hotty he liked to
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: play with, not like this girl that he'd like to
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: have conversations with. For sure. I didn't expect that it
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: to be like that at all. I felt all sorts
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: of kind of weird watching you sometimes during this show,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: not because of who you are, but that blood scene.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I said it on the podcast. I said, I felt
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: weird from my head to my toes, like like a
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: teenage boy in the living room be like this is
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: my buddy Colton and like I'm blushing, I'm warm, I'm hot. Um. Yeah.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: I tried to avoid text my dad for about a
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: week after that, just like you go, h he has
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: no idea, like what do you say as a dad,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Like I don't my daughter feels shameful or weird or
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: against He's just like, yeah, you go daughter. So he
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: asked me literally the other day. He's so sweet, but
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: he was like, I'm surprised that I have to say
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: in a country accident because he's like super southern. And
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: he's like, I'm surprised they're not flying you all to
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: some cool location for this last rose ceremony. And I
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: was like, it's not a rose ceremony. I was like,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: he already broke up with me. He's like, there's not
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: a rose after the final something rose. I was like,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I was like no, I mean, I just it's like
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: a stage thing and I don't know. He was like, oh,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: good luck, and I'm like, okay, I love you loving
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: the support is totally there, but he has no I'm
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: talking about what I signed up for. I one time
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: alluded to doing something like being down to do something
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: sexual in the fantasy suite and my dad texted me
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: like wallet air on the East Coast and he was like, oh, Ashley,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: and I was like, yeah, I don't need to acknowledge.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Don't please like, don't watch it, don't talk about it.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I watched. I had a really uh intense scene and
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: I wanted I just happened to make it home to Indiana.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: For this episode, and my grandma, my mom, my dad
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: were in the room and they invited so they this
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: is the worst part. They invited their Bible study over
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: danger and they also we all sat in the same
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: room and watched this and then you know how on
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: the show sometimes when he gets heated, like the music
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: actually stops playing and it's just the sound of the
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: kissing that exists. And I'm sitting there and like there's
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: no way to run away from it because everybody's sitting
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: around you, the TV is on. You can crack a joke,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: but you just wanted to be over. And like for you, Hannah,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you, like you're se lasted a long time.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Like I was hoping it was gonna be over or
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: it was gonna be too weird for me. I was
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: very ready for that to be over, especially with the
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: whole outcome thing. It's like this is just terrible, um,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: but good on you. It was. It was, it was,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I'll take it. Like There's so many other kind of
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: you know edits and things like that, And I don't
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: think I was misrepresented or anything. I think it just
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: kind of who was a look on that island that
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: was aggressive who was that when that was very Um,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: a lot of oh yes, not alone. Let's set the
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: record stage straight though here because a lot of the
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: people to watch the show do listen to the podcast. Hannah,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Gee's got personality so much, so much. I just you're
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: You're You're a bubbly little force. You walk in here,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: You're you're glowing. Everybody's like mag magnet magnetized you or
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: like that? Does that work? You think you're her friend already?
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like we're not buttering you up.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: We don't say this, but how do you think said
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: about you? Guys? Like, I really feel like I've a while,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: I get a lot of that. I hate you. So
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I'll go in the other room while you all talk. So, Hannah,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: you've mentioned a couple of times you had to get
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: some things off your chest last night. What were those things?
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Is it anger? Is it sadness? Like? What were the
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: things that you felt like you need to get off
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: your chest last night? With Colton? Every emotion? Um, I
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: had eighty million emotions going on in my head. And
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it was just categorized as sad
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: or mad, I don't know. I was I was more
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: feisty than I thought. I hope I didn't say anything
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: like rude or mean, because I'm never liked that. I'm
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: never like, Okay, let's bring it on. But you know,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: I thought Chris Harrison was going to be like asking
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: more questions the whole time and stuff. But as soon
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: as I was like, I, he's not asking anything, in
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: my head, I was like, all right, let's play the
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: question game. Let's go. And so I just was trying
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: to just put it all out there and just see
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: what he had to say. And I mean some people
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: could say like, oh, some of his answers were safe
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: or whatever, but is there a right way to answer it?
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: And did I want to hear? Oh? Yeah? I know,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: I for sure thought it was Cassie like not you.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: I was just like ouch. And in that moment when
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: you're so vulnerable, vulnerable and you know everybody's looking at you,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: I just felt so small just standing there being like
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: it's all come down to this, Like it was just
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: all these moments in my head that hit me and
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: I was like, I had real, legit feelings for this guy.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: And I honestly, for real thought that this whole year
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: was gonna be different like my birthday and even his
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: birth like we just like, you know, holidays, all these things.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: I thought it was gonna be us. So it was
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: very like super intense. But um, would you have accepted
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: a proposal from him? Yes, I I got my ring size,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: But while I was out here and everything, and I
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: was like, okay, Like I mean, it wasn't an option
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: in my head to not be here with him. Is
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: it a you know, a very quick process and journey
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: or whatever. Yeah, but it wasn't ever an option to
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: not be with him, and I thought he felt the same.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: So that's why I allowed myself to feel that way.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Isn't it funny the word journey, Like you here as
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: a Bachelor fan and you're like, wow, that's corny, and
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: then you experience it and you're like, there's really no
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: other words this journey. Do you guys ever have those
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: moments where it's just like all these different things in
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: your head and it's like, you know, just those moments
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: where it's really real. And sometimes I watch and I'm
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: just like disconnected. I'm like, look, I'm fine, it's been
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: you know, months, We're good, move on, he's not it
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: into you. But then there's just some moments where it's like, whoa, jeez,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: this is my real life, you know. Does it feel
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: like a breakup? Still like a real breakup? Not as much.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: I feel like I've had a lot of those feelings
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: and after yesterday. Um, honestly, I've added ton of time
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: to process it. I've just been going going, I've only
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: done one scroll to my phone and need to reply
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: all these like sweet messages and stuff. But um, yeah,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, is it like the Taylor Swift song Clean?
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Which one is that I was hoping that you would
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: know right now, Ashley, please explain what clean is? I
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: don't know. Basically, like she wakes up one morning and
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: she just feels like she was kind of rid of
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: that relationship and it's shocking and she's like, wow, it
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: actually happened. I think she wrote that song about me.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Then that's how I feel. You have to download it
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: for the car after this. Yeah, I think the weight
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: is lifted off me. And um, you know, sometimes it's
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: not about my story. I knew it wasn't the hand
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: on Colton show, you know, but sometimes things don't always
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: work in your favor, and sometimes you know it's for
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: other people's happiness not your own. He was totally distraught
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: after he broke up with you. How did that feel?
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Watch it back? I didn't know how sad he was
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: um when he left. Um, I don't know if I
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: want to say like it made me kind of feel
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: better to see that it wasn't as easy on him.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: But I mean, that's that's a viable out there that
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: it's you know, pass. I just like I almost feel
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: weird talking about it at this point because it's just
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: like I don't want to put any rain on their
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: like really exciting moment even though it didn't work out
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: for me. It's like I think, deep down, I'm just
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: kind of like, you know what it is, what it is,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: like this happened months ago, and I think that this
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: is a really special day for them, And UM, I
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: wouldn't want to be the kind of person being like,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: you know, so, are you good? Are you good in
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: a couple of minutes if we break down the episode together,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: are you okay with that? We can do that, that's fine.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: I want to make sure it's ok Yeah. I just
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: don't want to seem like I'm being bitter about anything
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: you're not. And I think, I mean, I can't imagine
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: how Colton is feeling, because I mean, just being around
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: you right now, it's obvious that he was probably like,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: holy cow, I've got and Taia was here last night,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: and or like both of you are just incredible, right
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: And I've never met Cassie, but I'm sure she's wonderful also,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: And so he's at the end of this and I
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: I just go back to what I was feeling at
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: the time, right And he has three amazing women that
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: he likes and that he probably loves at some level
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: or at least really cares for. But he has one
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: of you that he's saying, I cannot live without you.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: I cannot go through this experience and not end up
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: with you, or and if I do, I'm willing to
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: lose everything else in the process. I can't imagine. I mean,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: for me, you know, I obviously I told two women
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: I loved them, one of which I desperately wanted to
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: be with, and the other one I was like, in
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: any other circumstance in the world, I would be so
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: happy and so lucky to be your partner. So if
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: I'm Colton here, I'm talking to you for the first time,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: I hit me it took a lot of courage for
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: him to walk into a room with you where you
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: are so incredible and he cares about you so much.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: He says, I'm willing to let this wonderful woman go
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: for the sake of something that I can't live without.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: And it's it just hit me as you were talking.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: And then he's distraught because like in my head, I'd
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: be so much my own head the whole time walking
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: into the room. Is this worth it? Is this the
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: right decision. I'm losing an incredible person, but it's what
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: I feel like I need to do. I mean, he
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: could have lost it all after you, after walking out
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: of your room, like he could have lost somebody that
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: would have been so great for him. So I don't know.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: I'm just sitting here and like, man, for the first
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: time to me, how hard that had to be for
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: all of you, including Corton, who, honestly, even as a friend,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: like after last night, I kind of judged him like
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: you're an idiot, Like did come on? Like what are
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: you doing? Like she doesn't like you? Move on? And
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: he's like I can't. I can't move on. Yeah, I'm
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: try I think in the moment at least I haven't
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: seen this new episode and how everything really ended. Um,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: I've only been able to make assumptions, and I it's
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: really just one big like I DeKay, But I don't
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: know why I said very millennial. Well I'm a lot,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna do laws all the time. But you know,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: I don't even know how to express this because I
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: don't even know if this is a valid point. But
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: for some reason was hard seeing that, like or maybe
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: it was more of a slap in the face for
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: some reason, that he was chasing somebody who told him
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: that they didn't love him, and then I'm over here like, oh, hi,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: like I love you, like, you know, putting my feelings
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: out there. So it's almost like I wonder if I
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: would have I think it would have stucked either either way,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: let's be real. But I kind of wonder if, you know,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: if she did, if it was a strong relationship that
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: I was losing to. I guess that's what I'm trying
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: to get to the point of it, is like if
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: it was like okay, like you know, if there's a
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: relationship that's stronger than mine, then they should be together.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: And I think that that's kind of what I held
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: on too, and I said that in so many interviews,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: being like, if there's a relationship that's any stronger than
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: than mine, um, then they should be together because that's
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: what people deserve. And I didn't think it was possible. Um,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: But so I think in the moment saying that, she
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: kind of just left. That's where for me, I was like,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: well out, like I'm over here giving it all I got,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: and you know, but I want to see tonight. I think, Um,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: once I watched that episode, it's going to maybe give
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: me more answers and stuff. Right now, I'm just kind
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: of left hanging on, like, oh, okay, I'm in Portugal
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: now and I'm jetlagged and now I have to go home.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: How long were you in Portugal? Real quick? Um? I
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: feel like all the day is kind of end up combining,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: but like here or four days and then I couldn't
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: go home, you know, for like a week. I asked
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Tashia about that last night. She said there was like
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: three days where she was in Portugal. Knowing she's dumb.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: I think that's the norm, and stuck there and just
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: had to go around with Eddie the producer. Yeah, yeah,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: I would have um, wine dates with my producer, Like
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: at who's your producer? Ryan? Um? I love her and
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: um we would have wine dates and I I wonder
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: if I can. But like, so, there's apparently like a
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: gift that you can give, you know, the person or whatever.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: And I end up getting, you know, Colton a gift.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: And there's a slow motion video somewhere on Ryan's phone
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: of me breaking it on the ground in Portugal and
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: it's slow motion. I don't have the video, sadly. Um, well,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: actually whatever, but it's somewhere out there. It was a moment.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Can you tell us what you got him? I don't know. Okay,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: we'll think about it, or something like something. Okay, well
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: something something. I'll give you a hint. It was something
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: in relation to the home thing, okay, and so um,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: now that's on the streets of Portugal. I got a
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: crazy hypothetical for you. So what if he said all
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: that stuff that he did that night with Cassie and
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: then Cassie left and he jumped the fence and he
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: was distraught, But then the next morning he woke up
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: and decided he still wanted to go on a date
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: with you. And then you found this out either on
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: the date or even you know, and watching it back
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: or through producers or whatever. How would you felt about
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: that ouch? I mean would prefer having not had the date.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: I wanted the time that I felt like I deserved
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: in the moment. And that's I mean, he said, like,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: He's like, I gave everybody a chance, you know, and
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: or I was like, why do you make me feel
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: like it was met all the time? He's like, I
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: don't know if figured this, but like and he was like,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: because I felt like I had to give everybody a chance,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, you didn't give me a chance. They did,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: You didn't give me one. He kind of said that
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: yesterday when he said that he got lost in the
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: role of bachelor, where I feel like sometimes I interpreted
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: it as he like almost wanted to stay neutral to
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: a certain point, so that like he wouldn't lead the audience.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Only I don't know that that's what I thought from it.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: What did you think? Like he had he like gave
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: everybody a chance. It seemed like everybody is in the
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: level playing field, so that nobody was let on. The
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: one thing Colton didn't do great as a bachelors we
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: knew who he liked. I mean week two, like, it
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: was very clear who he didn't like and we didn't like, sure,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: but we knew that he liked a lot of We
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: knew that there was a good four or five that
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: he really liked. Yeah, I guess that's true. I mean, honestly,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: down to the end, it did. Yeah, you seemed right there.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on Colton? Now? I'm proud that
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: he followed his heart and even though I mean, I
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: don't want to say that because I'm like, you know,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: out like I'm better and there's just a few things,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: but you know, the big picture is is that, Um,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: I don't think he has a bad bone in his body,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: and I don't he wasn't doing any of that to
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: be you know, manipulative. That's a hard word. Um magnetized
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: that he's being magnetized. No, Um, But you know, I
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: think he's a good guy, and um, he deserves happiness,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: but so does everybody else. Everybody deserves to find that person.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: And I can't just be mad because it wasn't me, Like,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: that's not how this works. Am I sad? And I
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: felt like I wanted answers to be able to turn
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: the page yeah, but that expression is thrown around all
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: the time in Bachelor Nation. They deserve love. He or
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: She's so deserving of love, aren't we all? Yeah, I
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: just think it's kind of weird. So I'm totally way
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: they use it. You're so right, So we need to
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: take a break. But a listener, a very savvy listener,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: just discovered something that right after this break, I want
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: to ask you guys about, Like, she just emailed it
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: in and even I'm like, I wonder if it's the
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: same thing that I got d M to me a
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: couple of hours ago. Well, let's find out before we do. So,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Producer Amy just came up with an email that shocking
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: confusing to say the least. Ashley, you're an expert at
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: the behind the scenes, please explain to her litt soon's
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: exactly what this is. Okay. So, if you guys are
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: the type that study the super Tease like crazy, you
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: would notice that there is a scene clipped in there
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: of Colton dressed up with the ring box in his hand,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: but there's no ring in that box. And I know
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, when they started to show
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: that clip, people were like, what's up with there? Being
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: no ring in the box, and immediately from my behind
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: the scenes you know brain, I was like, they totally
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: taped that just for the tease, and now it seems
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: like there's no ring in the box. Oh, if you
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: look closely, you'll see there's no ring in the box.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: They had it from multiple angles. I can show you
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: a picture of different angles. There's no ring in the box.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: So I'm I'm interested to know whether they added that
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: in there, especially with no ring in the box, just
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: to add buzz for the superpit super fans that analyze
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: the crap out of it, or if they actually just
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: hadn't had a little blooper and they forgot to put
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: the ring in there and they just handed him a
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: box and didn't mean to get it from that angle.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: I don't actually have a problem. I'm wondering what you
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: guys think with them faking that for the super tease. Yeah,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm kind of like, I'm kind of yeah, I
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: don't want to know everything. So so what if he
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: never actually shot that. I'm sure some of those shower
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: scenes were like promotional too. Shower scenes must have all
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: been filmed like within two days. You know, there's no
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: way they got him in a shower in every city.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: You guys want to one long shower? Yeah, no, I
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: mean they really kind of do. I'm not playing. I
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: had somebody like video taping me take a shower. Often
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: you were like underwear. Um, yeah, I mean at the beginning,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: you do, but then you get so comfortable with everybody,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: and at one point, quite honestly, I wonder if Colt
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: got this way to ask me comes on, but um,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: at some point you're like, I'm sick of you videotaped
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: me showering. So as a result, you're gonna have to
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: look at the nuts. Yeah, like I'm gonna be butt
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: naked here, and if you want to be involved in it,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: then I've feel like you're very open with your body.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Though in that kind of case, I think it Yeah, yeah,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: but definitely like cold and sprobably a little more like preserved.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: But you get what I'm saying, Like, at some point
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: you're so sick of them videotaping you shower that you're like,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: if you're gonna do this, then I gotta get clean.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: I'm want to clean, and if you're going to get
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: this close to me, then you're going to suffer the consequences,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: don't waste water, don't don't um hannuh. Before we move
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: into the episode, let's start now, let's just transition to wait.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: I got two more to the questions that actually has
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: to end this um. But I'm really impressed after I
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: was there last night, and I want to say this
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: before Ashley finishes up, that you do seem to have
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: a really good like I can tell even talking to
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: you that you cared about this guy a lot, that
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: you have a lot of respect for him still, but
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: that this is this is a in a sense, a
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: distant memory, like this is months ago. It's fresh from
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: last night, but it's months ago, and you there's still
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: emotion involved and there still was confusion as of last night.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: But you do seem to have a really logical perspective
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: on it. And I want to say, because you get
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of people that come off in second I
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: think are a little bitter, a little angry, don't hold
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: back of like I don't like this person. They've hurt me.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: It's really great to have somebody walking here and be like,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: I'm just you know, it sucks, it's weird, but I
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: want what's best. And I can tell you mean that.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: So um, I wanted to say that before Ashley kind
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: of finished up with these last two questions. Okay, last night,
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: you said what you did to me was the same
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: thing that Cassie did to you. Can you librated what
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: you meant by that? Did that just simply mean you
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: broke my heart and she broke yours? I'm sort of
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: I was hoping that wasn't like in my head that
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: that one statement kept popping up the entire time I
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: was talking to it him, and I was like, don't
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: say it. That might like hurt their feelings. I don't know.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: And then for some reason I just had to because
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: I was just like, okay, like you know, I hate
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: saying it. Was like Cassie, you know, she went in there.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: I didn't want to even give him the chance to
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: hang out in the Fantasies week. I had ten pages
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: of questions I wanted to ask that so went in.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: I didn't even want to give him the chance at
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: all to move forward with this relationship, which she maybe
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: she has different reasoning, yes, all that stuff, but um,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: and then she left and he jumps a fence, He
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: comes in, does the exact same thing with me, and
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: blindsides me too, and I was just like, wait, that's it,
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: and um, you know he had an happy, a happy
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: ending from all of that, and I was literally just
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: left with, oh, yeah, I don't know, like if I'm
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: engaged or not, stay tuned kind of thing for months.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: So that's where I was like, you know what, Like,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: I know how hard that must have been for him,
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: but I felt like I was kind of robbed of
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: a chance, like how he was too. Okay, yeah, that
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: makes total sense. I thought for a second, like just
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: just from watching last night's episode once, I was like, oh, yeah, heartbroken.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: You're both heart broken, but you're right. You weren't given
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: the chance, the extra time that you wanted. Yeah, this
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: is not about you. Now that Cassie is so happy
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: with Colton, it makes me think of women, tell all,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: and it makes me weird it out that Klin, her
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: very best friend who apparently flies here to see her
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: on like a weekly basis, cried so hard over this
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: guy that her best friend is is so in love
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: with and hangs out and then and they hang out together,
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Like was that Caitlin's first time seeing him? If they
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: are together all the time, I just think it is
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: really weird for her to be like, I'm still so
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: to stray over this, but I know that you're so
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: happy with my best friend. Yeah, but then again, so
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: many things in situations in this entire Batchelor world is weird,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: and just you know, like I'm friends with people that
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: were dating the same dude that I was. You know,
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: it is. It's a weird thing. So I think she
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: has every right for her to have feelings. I don't know,
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: what do you guys think. I think it's weird, I do.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: I didn't even think about that, ash Like, it is
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: kind of odd, like to think you probably saw them
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: together multiple times, that you're celebrating your friend's relationship. It
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: would be odd to even put on the front that
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: you were upset. But I get maybe why, Maybe at
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: that moment it hit her that this was ending. Or
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: maybe it's I don't know, I hate I don't even know.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Maybe she had these emotions built up and she remembered
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: those in Oceans and she saved her response for the
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: tell all because she knew it was her time to
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: speak on I mean, I can imagine. I cannot imagine
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: a scenario where Klin shows up to a house with
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Cassie and Colton, even if she's hurt and upset where
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: she sits down, she's like, Colton, you hurt me like
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: you this this suck Like that would be weird for him.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: So the only time to do it was, yeah, that's possibility.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I'm I haven't really talked
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: to any of the woman from my season since the show.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: You know, A couple of like Lauren's friends would come
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: in into town and and everything, but at that point
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: it was so far removed that it was kind of over.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: None of them ever confronted me on it. So I
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: don't know that. I don't know how to relate with that,
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: but I guess it's perfect. Comparison would be like if
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Amanda Stanton just lost it on you, Yeah she didn't.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: You gotta have Amanda stant vibes, Hannah, I haven't that. Yeah,
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: that's a compliment. Yeah, a man, A man is a
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: great You can't. You can't like, I can see you
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: guys kicking in, being good for ends, having a lot
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: of fun. You can be homies. She like, sorry, O
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: the Yeah that is odd, Ash, that's you're always good
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: at that. You always find those like one things that
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: make me go interesting, Huh, I think like a girl? Yeah,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: like slow. I was actually I was just talking to Jessica,
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: my girlfriend before this, on FaceTime. She's with like a
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: bunch of girls to night and I was like, oh, Hannah,
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: gee's coming to the studio. I's like, what do you
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: girls think about? And they're like, oh, we love hannergy
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: we think she's so cute. And then Jessica goes, don't
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: get any ideas, Ben Jesse, you never know, you never know.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: She didn't like that very much. It's very ner answer.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: But yeah, Hannah, you have lived up to expectations. Let's
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: switch gears for a second, um, because we really, I
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: really want you in here to break down tonight's episode.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: I know you haven't seen it, but that's okay, because
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: we'll fill you in. And I want to unleash my
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: co host Ashley I Ken Eddie because she's built up
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: like a bomb and an explosion of excitement. That's okay.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you lose, and then Hannah and I
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: are gonna sit back and listen and follow suit. Hannah.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: On tonight's episode, Cassie ends up with Colton, and Colton
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: ends up with Cassie, maybe I should say and they
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: they they we see an episode where they're they travel
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: to Spain to meet Colton's family, And I'll say this,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: and I've been the hater all season. I love this season,
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: but I've I've had to be the devil's advocate because
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Ashley is so positive about this season. I mean, I've
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: had to pull back a little bit, like, what about this?
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: I really can't count with them. Yeah. So I thought
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: this episode was a little confusing because we see Hannah
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: leave last week. We're a fan of it. I thought, Hanny,
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: you actually put a big role in tonight's episode because
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: I thought you're gonna walk out as a bachelor at
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: one you did it, So that was confusing me. The
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: second point was that the Cassie Colton relationship starts out
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: we're he walks in, he knocks on the door, and
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: they meet and they start talking, and she's still not
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: She doesn't seem sold out on the idea of being
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: with Colton. She seems really confused to me. And then
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: he goes, do you want to go to Spain though?
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: And meet my family? And That's how I'm reading it. Fans, listeners,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: please right into Ben and Ashley I heeart media dot
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: com and tell me if you completely disagree, that's okay
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: if you do. I'm but I'm watching this in the
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: back room with Jason Tartik, and I'm like, Jason, tell
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: me if I'm not reading this correctly. She's still not
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: sold out. They go to Spain, he sits down with
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: the family. He seems in great spirits. He starts telling
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: him about the experience. Then she comes in and it's
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: still not sold out. So his family gets really emotional
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: because they're like, you don't care about my son as
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: much as he cares about you, is what I'm reading here.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: And and Cassie, and give her credit, she's being genuine
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: and authentic. She's like, yeah, I don't know if I'm
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: there yet, but we're we're working on we're trying. We're
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: figuring out fair enough. I'm not asking you to fall
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: in love with this guy. I'm just saying, hey, what's happening.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: I'm still confused. And then they go on the full
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: day date and it goes really well. It feels like
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: a typical bachelor date. They have a picnic and they
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: have this conversation, and then at night something changes and
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: I can't pick my finger on when to where we
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: feel as viewers good about them being together. It's so weird.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: It's confusing because as viewers, I'm watching and all of
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: a sudden, Casting Colton are happy, and then they're in
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: a fantasy suite and they're waking up the morning together,
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: and the show ends with him and with the two
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: of them going, I could wake up together morning after
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: morning after morning with you, and this is all great
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: and good. That's my perspective on the episode. I don't
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: think it was bad. I thought it was really confusing.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: But Ashley walks in here so pumped and says she
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: gets emotional, and Ashley, I just exploded. I want you
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: down to explode with your take on this episode. Okay,
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: So I think you're totally right when the first fifteen
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: to twenty minutes, I guess once we get past the
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: family part, I was just like, yeah, she's she's still
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: not into this. Like I even saw her facial expression
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: when he said I dumped Hanna, and Tasia looked like,
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: oh wow, crap, Now I got no other way out.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: But I really thought that that's what her facial expression.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: And just interrupt you for one second because the episode
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: starts with Cassie saying, I'm so excited to go home.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: I'm so pumped to go home to my family. She's packing,
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: and we're like, you want to just get out of here,
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: Like that's how I felt like, you don't want to
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: be here any long. She didn't even well, not that
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: we we don't know whether she said a lot of
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: things about her feeling so bad and her missing Colton
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. Maybe it was edited out, but what
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: they chose to put in was that, you know, she
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: was excited to go home, and then her facial expression
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: to me also said I'd rather go home, and then
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: you know, he was like, I'm not giving up on this.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. Still didn't really feel it until they
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: had their picnic, after they did that cliff walk down
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: what is it called propelling propelling down the mountain the cliff,
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: and then I felt it because there was like something
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: in her eyes that just seemed to be warming up
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: to him. There's a lot of body languages seemed to
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: turn there for me. And then it turned and then
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: dinner was like whatever to me, And then it really
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: turned with the fantasy suite, that cute little scene where
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: they're like telling the camera and the audio guys to leave.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: It was so cute and giddy. And then the next
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: morning I saw that body language again and the twinkle
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: in her eyes. There was just like this new warmth
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: that came over her. Didn't feel like she was pushing
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: him away at all anymore. And then I felt giddy.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: When that chapter of the episode ended, I was like,
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: oh man, I feel good about them and feel really good.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: I'm really happy. And then when I saw them on
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: the couch, I was like, holy Molly, this is a
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: different woman. Totally felt like a different woman. She had
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: so much more energy and vibrance about her. It was
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: like she was alive. She was more articulate than ever.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: She didn't seem scared to talk or expressed her feelings,
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: which I feel like she was often like so careful
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: about the words that she chose. And then I feel
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: great and I feel good. And then I got on
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: the phone with my mom and my mom is like,
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: if she breaks his heart, but I'm gonna get so
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: angry she breaks his heart because my mom was like
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: I think my mom was hesitant over the huge change
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: in her personality, like it could be an act. I
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: don't think that. I don't think that just putting it
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: out there, I don't think that. I don't think it
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: was an act. Hannah, how weird do you feel talking
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: about this? Is it weird for you? Like hearing it? No? No, no,
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: keep doing No. I like hearing. I like hearing your perspective. Um.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: I don't think it was an act, not at all.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: But I think it could come off to the viewers
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: like an act because it was so h we want
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: we just wanted to quickly. Yeah, we won eight so quickly,
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: and we're asking why because in my mind, and Hannah,
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: you were there for this, so I love I would
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: love your opinion into the level that you feel comfortable
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: sharing it. In my mind as a viewer, I never
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: knew Cassie, even though she said the words I love
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: you too and all this, I never knew Cassie to
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: like Colton as the viewer. Like, I knew she was interested.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: I knew she was into him, But I never knew
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: her to like Colton because it was never shown, really,
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: it was never experienced as a you on the show.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: And all I knew her as was the girl that
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: gave that had the confidence to say Colton. I'm not
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: into this any longer. I need to go home, and
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: I celebrated that like that was I don't think the
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: breakup was done in the best way. But Cassie is
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: a sweet girl. I I can tell she just wanted
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: to go home, and I was like, that's fine, then
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: go home, like, don't be here any longer. And then
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, she's still with him. Hannah, you
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: were there for this. Do you think Cassie, did you
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: ever get this into Cassie was really into Colton. I
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: never saw Cassie with Colton. Um isn't that a weird phenomenon?
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: People don't understand it. We barely see the lead interact
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: with anyone else, Right, it's only my perspective the entire time,
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: Like no clue about anything else. Um, I can say
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: from talking to Cassie. Um, you know, while we live together,
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: she's very very sweet and um she's just such a
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: light and um, you know, in her defense, it's weird
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: saying in her defense and Hi, I'm I also got
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: broken up with But really, you know, stepping back, it's
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: like so many people expect for people to have perfect
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: reactions to things, and that's not how life works on
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: the show. It can be easily edited for things to
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: just fall perfectly. And sometimes in life you have moments
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: of I don't know, like I don't know, moments like
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: that happens to all of us, and that's what life
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: is is having those raw just like I'm not sure
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: I feel sometimes like I know, I rarely have an
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: answer of how I feel exactly, I don't really know
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: sometimes And um, maybe she was just having one of
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: those real moments. I would have think that would have
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: sucked even more. She was just like, Okay, yeah, let's
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: stay together just because you're into me, But um, I
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: don't know. Sometimes things change. Sometimes it's not like she
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: wasn't into him, and that means this and this and this,
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: and sometimes things just change. And I know that if
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: you spend time with somebody and you get the chance
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: to see these different qualities in them, then you can
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: move forward in your relationship, which is something I didn't get.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: So maybe she didn't get this with him, of the
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: chance of getting to know him, and um it worked out, no, Ben.
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: My theory is that there were a lot of those
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: nice moments between them, warm she likes him, moments that
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: we didn't get to see because it was better TV,
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: a better narrative if we were to just think all
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: leading up to that fence jump, that she just wasn't
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: that into him. Because I think back on the times
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: where I hate bringing it back to me, but it's
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: just a comparable situation. I feel like people would watch
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: Paradise and be like, Ashley's whacked out, like he he
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: does not like her. Ever thought you were whacked out?
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: Oh please. So many people were like, we're not seeing that.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: You're awesome. Oh well, thank you, but but like a
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: lot of people were like, she's not picking up on
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: his signs, and and then um, they just weren't seeing
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: so many of our good moments because they just chose
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: not to put them in there because it was a
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: better narrative for me to be like the crazy, love
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: sick girl after the guy that just was never going
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: to fall for it. It's it's it's interesting. I don't know.
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: I'm watching tonight and it's it's a little bit I'm
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: still a little bit confused. I want to say I
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: am celebrating Colton and Cassie. I've met Colton, I've been
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: around Colton. He's happy and I've I'm excited. I've been
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: able to talk to him this week about how excited
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: he is about the future. And Cassie. I haven't Matt yet,
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: and I'm sure she's great. And let's celebrate the story
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: of them from this year's back. So it was a
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: great season, Hannah. You had a huge part in this,
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: making this season fun and enjoyable and attractive and sometimes
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: very awkward for me to watch, not in a bad way,
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: just making me feel all weird inside. Um, but it's
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: hard for me to walk out tonight being like hooray,
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: like let's celebrate, because I was still confused. Like once
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: the show ended, I honestly I looked over at the
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: guys in the room I was in the room with
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: with Jason and Chris and um, some of the women,
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: and I was like, we all kind of like, uh yeah, yeah,
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: like we sell it. We clapped and celebrated like when
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: the door closed and then when it opened up, and
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: like we're still excited. And then the show ended, We're
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: like is that it? Like what's next? Like what's happening?
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: And then they come out and you're happy for them,
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: like they're really good together, Like you can tell tonight
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: when they saw on the couch, like good on them,
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: like they're they're shining, they're celebrating. But for the first
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: time in a long time, I felt like there wasn't
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: a conclusion to the show like we felt before because
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: the proposal is not there. Maybe it seemed a little foggy,
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: like usually it's a more clear, happy ending and this
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: one maybe wasn't as clear, just because it didn't go
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: the way that it usually does. I wonder if I'm
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: gonna ask you guys, do you think that, um, you
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: felt like you had what ifs watching or no? Like
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: with with how things kind of ended, there's not usually
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: like I feel like maybe sometimes there's more answers with
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: all of it, but it was just kind of like,
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know, or what do you think? I think
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: that the only one if I was left with was
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: what if your date went first that week? Yeah, I'm
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: sure in the end it would have ended up the same.
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: I'm sure that he would still be happy and in
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: love with Cassie, but just interesting how the immediate future
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: could have changed. Yeah, there is some what ifs. Uh
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: it might be I don't know if it's gonna hurt
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: to hear. I think he was completely sold out on Cassie,
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: so I don't think there wasn't even what if in
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: his mind, Like I don't there was any actually kind
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: of like we talked about earlier, I think by him
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: letting you go and not spending the time with you
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: is actually doing you a favor because I think he
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: was so sold out there was nothing that was going
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: to happen that night, even if it went magically, that
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: was changing his mind that Cassie was the one for
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: him at the end. I think I why I said
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: that though, was from what you said of when you
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: watched it, You're like, oh, but what's next. I think
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: that's why where I was like, I wonder if that's
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: why it's not as clear as because there it was
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: just all of a sudden, like you know, such a switch. No,
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: I get it. I think that to bring it back
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: to me again, Jared and I when we announced our relationship,
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: we did it with a forty five minute YouTube video
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: because we had to fill in the gaps of what
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: people from what what where we left off in Bachelor
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: in Paradise three to where we ended up because people
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: wouldn't understand how we got together if it weren't for
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: us explaining like step by step, So we need a
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: story of us for Cassie and Colton on what happened
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: over the past four months. I'm surprised he didn't propose
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: to night. I'm glad he didn't. I'm glad he didn't.
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised glad he didn't. I bet it was brought up.
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: I bet, I bet that it came through his mind,
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: like should I or should I not. I'm glad he didn't,
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: because then I would have been even more confused. It
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: would have been too much in one episode, too fast,
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: like from her not being into it, to being into it,
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: to being confused and then spending night with him to
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: a proposal all in one evening. I would have been erect.
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: That would have been that would be fun to attach
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: like you know, some weird controversy and negativity, you know,
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: some people thinking that way to such a special moment either.
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: You know, that was like Ari and Lauren last year.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: I think so many people wish that are hadn't proposed
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: because we just saw him break up with Becca. We
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: were not in the mood to see a proposal. But
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: of course they're married now and happily ever after. But yeah,
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: I think if Colton would have proposed tonight, we would
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: have been like, really, that wasn't the mood we were
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: going for. But we're really happy to see you guys
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: together as a couple. Well and and and as you
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: brought up earlier in nobody knows, it's probably better than
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: you do. But we actually talk about all the time.
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: But like, this is an experience that is sometimes funny,
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: it's super weird, it's awkward, and it's at some level joke.
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, I literally have sat in a panel for
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: the live shows two nights in a row, and I
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: walk out there and I'm twenty nine years old, and
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: I feel like the old man in the room and
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I feel like the guy that comes back
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: to prompt five years later with the date. Like I
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: feel weird, Like I don't belong here anymore. This is
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: awkward and it's funny and it's reality television. Yeah no
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: I did. I walked out tonight and I sat down.
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: I looked at Chriss like I don't. I don't think
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: I can do this anymore, buddy, Like, commercially, I don't.
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: This is my twentieth time showing up on a panel
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: like what are you gonna ask me? I feel like
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: that every every finale, I feel old. I'm always like, Okay,
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: well now you're officially old. You are done. I feel old,
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: But this show gets real. Well you have like senior pluses.
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: We're in our fifth year right now, we're fifth year seniors.
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: I feel like it's you sometimes, um, but like it's
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: still real to me. Maybe the reason I am attracted
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: to come back to these panels when they ask, and
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: when I want to come back on the show when
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: they ask, is because the show has a huge piece
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: in my life. I'm I'm no longer with the person
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: I was from the show. She's a great woman, and
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: I'm never ever regret the fact that we spent time
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: together from the show, And for me, I think you're
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: right because I know how hard it was for Lauren
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: to experience are like proposal. The day I broke up
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: with Jojo, a woman, I said, I love you too, Like,
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: I know how hard that affected her and how weird
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: it was for her, And I get why it was
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: weird and crazy and awkward. So I understand that, and
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: I wish there would have been a different way to
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: do it like I wish that she could have had
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: that special moment where she felt like her proposal at
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: the time. You know, if we backtrack and think of, oh,
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: life was gonna be us together like that, she doesn't
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: look back on the day that we got engaged and
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: she's like, yeah, but y'all broke up with a woman
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: that you loved the same day like that hurt her
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: And I get why it's weird interesting, you know, so
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: be nice if I didn't have to get engaged in
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: front of my next boyfriend too. Yeah. Well, you know,
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: we sit here and and I think about tonight if
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: he would have proposed yet, it would it would have sucked.
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: Like that's a bad part of the show because if
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: he always goes along with sad happy always how actually,
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get that tattoo stop now, that's the
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: most simple thing. Any simplicity wins speaking of I don't
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: know really deep things, and Ashley's brain is just on
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: fire tonight with excitement and wisdom. We've got to take
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: a break. I want to reiterate that even though Ben
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: thinks it was weird and that I do think it
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: was a quick one eighty, I'm very gleeful for them.
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: Like I watched it and I was I had like
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: a lump in my throat and I just felt like
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: my heart was like a little bit racing a little bit.
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: I just got like this cool physical reaction to see
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: two people that were like really, I was just so
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: happy because throughout this entire thing, I've been kind of
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: saying that Colton has been such a routable, sympathetic character,
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: and I wanted him to be happy the entire time.
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: And I think sometimes you focus more on the girls
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: during the season, but I really think that Colton was
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: kind of like the star. Do you guys think they'll last?
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think lasting, especially when she's only twenty three,
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: is like, that's a long life ahead of you. I
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: think that they're going to be good for a while.
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: If it's is it a life long thing? I don't know.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: I think that three is hard. I mean, you're twenty three, right,
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: twenty four? But did you ever see imagine older? Well,
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: you see er than Cassie does. Um, But I don't know.
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, in the South, twenty three is probably a
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: typical age, right, so age married? Yeah, it's a thing.
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: Is it weird to hear these city pele like me
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: and anybody like on the coast, always talking about how
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: that's so young to get married. Why would you do that? Yes?
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: But I mean how am I supposed to be defensive
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: about how I just actually feel in life? And um,
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: you know some people are like she has she has
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: no substance, she hasn't gone through anything. I've been through
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: a lot of things, but I've never used it as
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: an excuse, you know, for people to just relate to me, Like,
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: I have so many things that I go there and
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: I would tell, you know, some of the producers things
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: that that I've been there, and I was like, but
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: I don't want to chat about it. Like the way
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: I connect with people is how I am in the moment,
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: and it was important to me. So am I ready
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: for anything that life brings me? Yeah? Am I ready to? Like?
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: Actually I love? Uh? Yeah. Another thing I just want
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: to mention. I think Ben and I keep getting comments
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: on Instagram and Twitter that we are like not pro Cassie.
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: I have never disliked Cassie. Um. I've had my moment
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: of hesitance with kalin Um, thinking that she may be
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: a little bake, But I never said anything about Cassie
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: being you know, I think Cassie admitted that she wasn't ready.
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: You know, there were rumors that Cassie wasn't ready. She
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: admits she wasn't ready, and that's just what we've been saying.
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: And I think that we hate the fact that Colton
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: was hurt buyer and that she hung around for a
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: while when she knew her feelings may not have been there.
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: But I never had anything personally against Cassie. I think
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: she's a very delightful seeming girl, very sweet. I honestly,
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: it's hard for me to have anything personally against any
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: but I haven't met him. I watched the show like
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: everybody else. I'm sitting in my living room drinking my
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: wine being like on the Almost famous podcast. I've got
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: to be upset with Cassie because I am confused. Did
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: you guys talk about this? Sorry? I ran into the
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: other room, So if I'm being repetitive, let me know
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: a lot of people are upset that Colton did not
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: reveal if he's a virgin or not. So dumb that
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: makes me angry. Talk amongst yourselves, but let me just
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: say it. People are upset because the whole season it
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: was such a focus. So that is why I interpreted
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: people were upset that it was like this big thing
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: all season long and then it just I honestly, Hannah,
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: how often was virginity talked about when you're around Colton?
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: So watching back, it was so much more of a thing.
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: And but in the moment, I mean it was like, now,
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: what do you think about him being a virgin? I
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: was like, I mean, that's his thing, you know. I mean,
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know, That's just who he is. I I
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: didn't really have much to say about it, and I
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: respected that that's a part of his life. If I
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: was a virgin going into this, then like, is he
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: supposed to judge me? Like, what's it exactly? And it's like,
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: I think that's his business. Yeah, what you know, is
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: he out there in the world that's such a big
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: part of this storyline. Yeah, but like he doesn't owe
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: that to anybody. And what about to tell them Cassie too,
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: she's part of it. That would be revealing something personal.
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: It's very personal about her, which many people probably would
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: criticize if he did, don't you think, because remember Nick, Yeah,
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: it's bad. Well, and I also like, you know, Cassie
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: had brought up at some point to the women, either
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: in the house or on the show, that her family
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: doesn't know she's not a virgin. So like, I mean,
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: my parents didn't know until I did this show, like
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: what my status was. They don't need to know. It's
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: not important. That's weird for them to know, right, Like
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: it would be awkward if somebody sat down on the
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: show and I was like, yeah, I'm not a virgin,
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: I don't want to be, or I'm a virgin and
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: my parents all know my status. Like this is a
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: very private, weird moment. And I would say, though on
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: this episode, Hannah was I wish Colton would have put
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: his foot down a little bit more on stopping the
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: virgin talk, because there was moments where it was unnecessary.
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: Like tonight on the episode, I was like so into
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: his story, you know, as a friend, I'm feeling for him.
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, you're killing it, dude, Like you're
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: into it. You've done a really tough thing by letting
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: some really great women go, and you're pursuing Cassie and
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: we're all into it. And then he sits down with
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: his parents and the very first thing he says, and
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: he chose to do this is guys, I'm not a virgin.
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, Colden, you just ruined this moment. Did
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: I miss this? And then talk all talking and the
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: brothers like I knew it was gonna be the case,
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: and the mom is like, what you know, Colden? The
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: brother knew that you were gonna be a virgin anymore.
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: And then Colden's like, but I'm just kidding guys, And
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I mean, for me, maybe it's maybe it's
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm like, it's very personal me because my my
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: co host, Ashley, that was her storyline and and for
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: a while when we were doing the show, like that
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: was still your storyline and it was not fun for
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: me to see you get like I don't squirmy and
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: like a little like feeling shameful for being a virgin,
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: and like we would talk about who's going to be
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: the first guy and can he carry that burden? And
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: is that like the burden? And it was like this
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: is just feels dirty and weird, and are we like, like,
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: are we disappointed if Colton doesn't lose his virginity? Like
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: are we celebrating the fact that, like he's having sex,
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: which is one of the most if not it is
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: the most powerful physical interaction to people can have together.
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: And we're gonna say, because you did this crazy show,
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: now we expect you to have sex and we need
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: to hear about it. Like, no, I don't want to
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: hear about it. Could you imagine if this was a girl,
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: a female lead and bachelorette, and then the question kept
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: being thrown out there are you still a virgin? Are
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: you still a virgin? Oh my gosh, there would be
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: so much hate. You're right, So it feels weird, and
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: so I'm not happy with Colton about that. I'm happy
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: with things. He shouldn't have that down with his family
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: have been like, I'm not on a virgin felt but
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: he he didn't know what he do but he handled
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: it well on the stage during the live during the
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: live component, he did a really good job just saying like,
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: now there's another woman, there's a woman involved. It's not
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: just one of us talking about our sex life. It's
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: somebody else too. So we're not going to go there anymore.
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: I want to take a second here because I feel
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: like this is a good moment for us. Is the
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: three of us to talk about right, Um, we watched
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: the show, and kids are watching this show, young women
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: and young men. And I felt like if I was
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: a virgin watching this show, that I was doing something
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: wrong or laughable or something I should be embarrassed of.
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: And so if I was a virgin for whatever reason,
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: my faith just that I hadn't had the opportunity, I
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: hadn't found the right person. Maybe I wasn't attractive. Maybe
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: maybe I'm the guys sitting there going I've I haven't
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: found a woman that once I have said with me,
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: And I'm sitting there in my household as a forty
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: ye old virgin or a twelve year old virgin, and
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: I'm if I watched The Bachelor, ye, we talked about
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: it week one, I would have felt shameful for my
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: decision or embarrassed at my decision, or feeling like I
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: was doing something wrong. And I don't like it. Unless
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: you thought Colton was cool, Well that's what you're like.
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: That dude's hot and cool and athletic and a professional
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: football player and he's a virgin and he's admitting it
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: on TV. I will tell you from personal experience. When
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: the Jonas brothers were open about their virginity. When I
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: was twenty, I remember that it was they of course
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: showed it off like it was a good thing, like
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: it was. It was saying that they encouraged people. You know,
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: if they didn't encourage or not encourage, but you know,
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: like this is us and where we feel good about it.
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: So if you want to do the same, good for you.
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: That made me feel so good. It made me feel
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: like there are really cool, hot, popular people out there
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: who are in the same boat as me, and it
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: makes me feel good. I think that I would be
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: looking at Colton the same way. Um, I just I
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: do think that you can flip it either way. I
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: think some people are probably interpreting this as, oh, it's
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: something to get rid of, and I think some other
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: people are looking at him being like, there are hot,
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: really amazing virgins out there. So then would to fix
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: all I mean, would you have preferred then Colton Atina.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: Let's say he is a virgin, say him and he
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: and Cassie did not sleep together, that he on the
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: live show, or at the end goes, yeah, I'm still virgin,
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: and I'm proud of it, because you know what, for
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: as much as I loved her. She wasn't there yet.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: We want to spend even together, and it wasn't right
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: because I've said, he said, through this whole thing, I'm
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: reading for that right person who loves me and I
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: loved them to experience this night together. Would you prefer
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: that to be the case. Well, he kind of did
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: say that about the fantasy suite. He said, I will
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: let you know that with the fantasy suite, it didn't happen.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: Not you know, he lengthened it and made it a
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: little bit more vague than that. But I'm pretty darn
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: sure nothing happened in the fantasy No, we're talking about
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: what they said on the Live show today with Cassie. Yeah. Well,
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: it feels weird, Hannah. It feels weird for you to
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: be sitting here and we're saying this. But Colton season
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: is now over with. We've completed another season to The Bachelor.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: It was a great, a great season. Um, Colton doesn't
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: have a bad bone in his body, and we're gonna
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: wait patiently and see where he and Cassie end up.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: But guys, can we give a round of applause that
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: Colton seasoned The Bachelor is officially closed and it was
• 1:01:43

• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: in the past twenty four hours, like you know, like
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: the post time that you do anything like that, and
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: then also just being like I'm gonna say stuff about
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: my breakup on national television and watching it and be
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: you know, just all of these like months and all
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: of this add up has like come down to this,
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: and then like really just sitting here with you guys,
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: it's really freaking crazy. A year ago, like literally a
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: year ago, I would have when first I heard like,
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: can you remember your first season? You watched the show?
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: Like did you watch Ashley or Ben? Yeah? Yeah, which
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: like yeah, who was wondering where I remember when I
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: remember my moment with that was um I was. I
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: had done The Bachelor, I had met Kaitlin, which was
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: a total in britt and I walked up and I
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: said hello to them. I was like, holy cow. I
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: got so nervous. They were like celebrities of my eyes.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: And then you end up like falling for the person
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: and it feels okay at the end. But I still
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: intimidated by Caitlin, like very intimidated by Caitlin for really
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: the whole season. Like I was always a little nervous surrounder.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: And then I became the Bachelor, and I remember this.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: I was sitting in a black car at the Bachelor mansion.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: It was my very very first night and Shanlo and
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: Chris Soul's walk out of a car and they walk
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: like right by my window, but they can't see me
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: because it's tinted, and I was like, holy cow, Like
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: those dudes first off, our stud Second off, I've watched
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: them on television and I'm them now, Like how does
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: that work? That's so cool? For sure? I feel like
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: that with you guys. Really, that's how I felt. I
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: don't feel I don't feel like scared like you too.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: It was just like, you know, you build so much
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: of your head and stuff, but like, you guys are
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: so cool and down earth and like normal people. And
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: it's funny that some people are thinking that about me,
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: and it's just a weird thing. You know, it's so fun,
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: but some people like, okay, I need to not go
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: off topic, be really but like just like the whole
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: just this whole thing of like oh my gosh, you're
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: so great blah, and I'm like, I'm okay. But like
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: there's people like doing crazy amazing things for this world
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: and then not getting recognition for it. And that's where
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: it's just like it's been a weird just like trying
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: to take things in and you know what I mean.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: There's people that are like my old neighbor he just
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: got diagnosed with like brain cancer and he has like
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: you know, four months to live or five months to live,
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: and I love him so much, and it's just like
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: those moments, I'm like, that's real stuff. Like yeah, I
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: can talk about my breakup and yes, it was really
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: real for me. But I feel selfish sometimes because I
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: like there's real stuff happening in this world, you know.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: Can I give you the best advice? Don't lose that
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's so funny that don't lose that,
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: like hold onto that thought, no, remember that feeling, because
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: this this whole thing and you're not done yet, like
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: your story is just beginning, and it's going to be incredible.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: And no matter what ends up, if you're in relationship,
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: you go to Paris, Paradise, you don't or whatever, like,
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: your impact in this world is going to be incredible
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: and there's gonna be a moment. And I'm telling you
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: it happened when um recently for me, and I was
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: telling Jazz like it just happened a few months ago
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: where I realized that I became a little bit numb
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: to humility for the first time ever that I was.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: I knew who I was, and I knew where I
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: stood in this world, but I had lost that perspective
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: that I that I had started for the first time
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: to accept the fact that I was something bigger than
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: I really was, that I was cooler than I really was,
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: or I was chasing relevance more than I ever thought
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: I would. And it hit me that that is a
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: selfish and an unfulfilling and a finite ambition. And so
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: the best thing, and it was given to me when
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: I first got off the show, was don't lose that humility,
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: like don't lose that like pure perspective, because once you do,
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: this whole thing comes crashing down around you way too fast.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: Because the coolest part about this is there's gonna be
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: moments and moments and moments that you have a real
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: impact in somebody's life because they love you and they
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: respect you and they care for you. And then all
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, you look around you and you go
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: and the coolest thing would be that you've never changed,
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: that you're just popular because you're an incredible person. And
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: find someone you really trust, really trust that if you
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: lose that, because it can happen, that they smack you back,
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: because we need that person that goes, hey, you're you're
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: going off the path, because it's almost inevitable that it happens. Yeah,
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: it's the emotional thinking about it. It's just wold all.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: It's so funny. This is real life. It was so
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: different a few months ago. I know, Yeah, it's really
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: weird how it happened so fast. But it's weird because
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: I was just talking to access as producer Tricia, who
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: you met earlier today to picture there, and she was like,
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: I love HANNAHI so much. She was like just so
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: real and like everything is new and exciting to her,
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: and I just want her to say that My biggest
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: advice to her is don't change. And then I just
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: said that, Okay, let's take a second here she could
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: rely on this is this is a cool moment. Hannah Gee,
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: welcome to the Bachelor family. Thank you. Um, I'm really
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: I'm so pumped that you're part of it. And uh
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: and I'm excited what the future brings. And so, speaking
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: of the future, somebody was on the season with you
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: shares the same name. Hannah Bee was announced to Night
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: as the Bachelor at The response on social media has
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: not been exactly positive. But but here's the thing. I
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: remember how nervous I was when I was announced to
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: the Bachelor. I couldn't talk. I couldn't speak. It was
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: those things you were just talking about, Hannah of like,
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: is this real life? This is weird. The Kardashians are
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: sitting in the waiting room right now, like online, now
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: I'm announced the Bachelor. Is this real life? Because I
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: don't belong here. But somehow, now Chris Harris and I
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: are like sitting side by side in the cow it's
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: talking about my love story. This really left up. And
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: so Hannah be Tonight was nervous on television. So nervous.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: But I find that endearing and I think it's exciting
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: because she if you asked her right now, I'm not
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: gonna speak for her, and then we're gonna actually loose
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: because she came in so pumped up. She I think
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: maybe would have the same perspective you do, like, I'm
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: so nervous because I can't believe this is happening. Ashley,
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: you don't agree with social media. Social media might be
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: hating on Hannah By, but you're saying what I think
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: it's incredible. I think it's completely endearing. But I think
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: that it's so great that she's like, I'm nervous, I'm awkward,
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: because that's exactly what everybody at home if they be,
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: Like if you were in somebody's house a Bachelor fan,
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: and you're like, you're the next bachelorette, let's go bring
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: five guys out here, you'd be like, oh my god,
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: I'm so awkward. This is so funny. I can't find
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: my words. He It's exactly how anybody would be. It
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: wasn't like she was practicing for this. It's just it's happening,
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: and it's like kids happening to a fan, which is
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: so fun to watch, super relatable. It's so relatable. I
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: just see myself and my friends in Hannah, and I've
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: never like all the other Bachelor rats. I love them,
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: but they're so well spoken and poised and controlled, like
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: they're filling a role, like they just stepped into the president,
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: like the oval office of the Bachelor. And she's just like,
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: holy goly And she's not an underdog by any means,
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: but it almost feels like that, like I've always root
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: for any underdog always, and so saying that, you know,
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: hearing that she got it, I'm really really excited for her.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: It's very mixed reviews, if that's the right word, mixed
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: thoughts online, but some people are saying if it will
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: be fun to watch because it's almost so awkward, But
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: it's like that's what it would be in real life.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: This is like the person that's not feeling what the
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: role that they think need to fill, their truly just
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: being themselves. They're they're not like Philly the last person's shoes,
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: So like, oh, do you understand that? I kind of
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: I'm yeah, I do. I'm with you on this. I'm
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: gonna I want to watch this season because it was
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: gonna feel like watching the kind of the nerd or
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: the girl next door, Like you know that your neighbor
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: that all of a sudden hits it big and you're like,
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: you're now on natural television. Your love story is being
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: told and you're freaking out, and I'm freaking out for you,
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: and I get the role thing. I look back on
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: my time as a bachelor. I remember how they asked me.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: It was in It was like a month before we
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: announced it that they said, are you interested? And then
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: a week before I was announced they said, Okay, you're it,
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: And I think I had I don't know if I
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: prepared or if I filled a role, but I think
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: in a sense, I never was intimidated by by the moment.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: So maybe like that that and I don't think Jojo was,
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: or Becca was, or Rachel was or Caitlin was, Like
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: I think there's a unique personality that like, you know, Hannah,
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: I say here with you, and I think you would
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: have still had the like kind of like excitement in
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: the giddiness, but you would have filled the role really well,
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: Like you would have sat down poise like you did
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: last night with Colton, and you would have been able
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: to speak, and I think Hannah be has a unique
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: personality where she's not prepared. She's probably not ready to
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: be the bachelor. She's ready for love, but she's not
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: ready to be the bachelor at and it's the first
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: time in a long time. Honestly, kind of reminds me
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: of Chris Souls. Chris Souls was not a prototypical bachelor.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: He could barely put a sentence together on National TV
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: for a long time, but we saw him. I mean,
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: and I love Chris Souls, but his love story was
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: played out and he got better, he got more comfortable,
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: and then when he was at the end with the
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: people that he really loved, he was composed. He was
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: he was calm, he was collected, and we got to
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: know Chris better because of it. But when he was
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: first announced to the Bachelor, he was not good like
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: he could have put a sentence together. He had a
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: great cast of girls that really helped him along because
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: even though he was my bachelor, sometimes I don't even
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: remember him talking like some I don't even know how
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: he carried the show. Yeah yeah, but he loved but
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: love like he's the sweet like he's a great dude.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: But I think Hannah being Chris both had that we
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: want to root for him, We're gonna cheer for him. Hannah,
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: what's your thoughts? Are you let's pause, You're really close
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: to her, right and are you upset you're not at
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: the Bachelor? Yeah? I know you're definitely like the one
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: behind her. So my thoughts are that, I don't think
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: that just because she's not feeling, you know, the normal
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: role in approaching it the normal way. I think it's
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: gonna be a different season and maybe that's what they're wanting,
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: is for somebody to switch things up a little bit.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: And is it going to be perfect? No, But is
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: it going to be her real like wearing her heart
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: on her sleeve kind of season? Yeah? And I think
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be different and people are gonna tune in
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: and I'm definitely gonna watch. I told her that, um like,
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: I'm her biggest fan, and you know, I I'm team
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: fine Love because I want that too, and I think
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: she definitely wants that. She definitely is ready to um
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: settled down and I know her intentions are so good
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: and I see other people, I'm like a reader, I'm
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: a feeling. I get it, but you know, you talk
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: with her and you know that she's ready and it's
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: not going to be perfect, but she knows that and
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: she's just gonna roll with it, I think, which is
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: cool um with me. I Um, I think it was
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: just it's like I said, it would have just been
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: a different kind of season. And I think I kept
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: going into it being like it's meant you know, whatever
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: is meant to be is going to happen. And even
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: though that's so basic, but it's so true. I can't
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: just you know, be disappointed if I don't get something
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: or you know, I can't set myself up for any
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: kind of failure, especially when it deals with love in
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: my heart and um all that kind of stuff. So
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: that's not where I'm supposed to meet my person. And
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: sometimes it's not about me, like the world doesn't revolve
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: around me. Maybe this is Hannah be'st chance to find
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: her person and this is faded. Yeah, I mean, maybe
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: it's just for Hannah Bee and then mine is just
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: coming at some other point in my life. And I'm
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: okay with that. I'm cool with that, and I know
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: that there's a lot of um pressure with it and
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: for me, how hard it was for me to get
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: my heart really really broken. Um, I think that that
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: would have been extremely difficult for me to due to
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: somebody else. Obviously anybody's gonna feel that way, but I
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: think it was still a little fresh and my heart
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: is still a little bruised from it. So I don't know.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: It would have been a trigger if I'm like, oh,
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: this dude really like is in love with me, Like
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: it would take me back to you know, this thing
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: that just happened, well happened a few months ago, but
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: rewatching it and reliving that. So I don't know, You're good,
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: really good. I don't know. I don't really. I don't
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: know if I've ever met like a Hannah Gee who's
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: not like our bachelorette, Like she sits in here and
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: reminds me of Becca Coop, like your friends like where
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: We're like, we're both sitting here and we're like, dang,
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: like I want to see more of you, which brings
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: me to the question, Hannah, oh see you in Paradise.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. If they ask me,
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: they're gonna, okay, Hannah to be the star of Paradise.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: I don't thee for Paradise. I was so close to
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: finding somebody really cool, and it made me realize that
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: I do want something serious. I don't want to just
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: like dat around and like that's just not my thing. Um, So,
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: I mean another chance to find love, make myself and
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: my love story my priority would be kind of awesome.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: So why not? I mean, I feel like it'd be
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: hard to say no to. Of course, I'm worried about
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: you because everybody's gonna be obsessed attention? Are you ready for?
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't play humble here, I'm not. I
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: don't read, I have not, I've barely looked at my phone.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: Just Okay, let's assume that Ashley and I are fortune
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: tellers and that we know all we've been around this season,
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: like we said a long time. Now, you're gonna get
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: a lot of attention. Kid. Is there anyone we can
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: think of that would be like a great guy to
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: have their possible? I was going to say, but I
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: love you guys are sweet. Would you recommend she goes
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: on Paradise? Yeah? What do you think? Well? Here, she's
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: getting married from I know, so I would highly recommend it.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: Like the Bachelor, you're going to go into it and
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: you're gonna be like, oh, this is gonna be fun,
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: like maybe make some new friends, will be like on
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: an adventure, right, and then you're going to get there
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: and you're going to forget all about that, and you're
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: probably gonna like fall for someone, and then it's gonna
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: be this whole experience all over again. What if one
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: of Hannah Be's guys speaking of your destinated destiny, what
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: if one of Hannah Be's guys is actually meant for
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: Hannah g and we'll meet him in Paradise. I'm with
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: Ashley on this, though, I don't know. I have this
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: sense the Hannahbes guy. I don't know why. I don't
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: know who they are aren't going to live up to
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: what Hannah Gee deserves. I don't I don't know why
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: I feel that way, Like in my head, I'm thinking
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: about some of the guys that could be in Paradise
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: right now that I already know. Right not to name names,
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: because you choose on your own do what you do
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: and advice I like to you know, but I know
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: I feel like you and I would know a lot
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: of the guys from past seasons that would be going
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: on this, and you know him personally, and it's hard
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: for me right now after meeting you tonight, Hannah, gy
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: would be to even think about you with any guy
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: from Hannah by season because I just feel like the
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: bar set so high. Yes, I don't know. Well, here's
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: here's another hope I have for you if Paradise doesn't
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: work out, that I definitely want to see you as
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: a bachelor atte next year. Well, who knows how he's
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: going to be. You know, I have two very favorite
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: girls as Bachelorrette two years in a row. Hannah's taking
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: over Hannah's. I'm sealing your question. But if you had
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: a celebrity crush, that sometimes helps us figure out who's
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: like your ultimate celebrity crush. You can give one two
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: or three celebrity crushes, like if they're married? Is that weird?
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: We just want to We're not actually gonna be like
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: Matt Damon, Eric Decker. Okay, I can see you with Eric.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: Was not expecting that, not at all. Can I give
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: us two more? I can see with an Eric like man,
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: not beer. I hate the type thing because I don't
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: know if I have a like. I know that there's
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: different qualities and stuff, but like it's really like a
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: connection thing for me, and it's like, okay, yeah, that's unique.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: I've heard that eighty times, but like really like I
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: could be like, oh, we're going to connect for sure,
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: and then I've met people before and I'm like, We're
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: never gonna I don't never want to see you again.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: You're you suck, so you never know, Um, just a
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: good connection, I don't know. Okay, So then we'll follow
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: up here if there's any guys some past seasons that
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: you already know been on the show that could be
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: in Paradise. Who are you most interested in? I feel
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: like everybody is getting taken. No, there's not any left?
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: Are they? Literally the only one I can think about this, dude,
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: But come up with somebody else that you think could
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: show up in Paradise. I really feel like everybody's getting
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: scooped up. Go back to the backlog. I feel like
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: this is the year of relationships, right, I mean I
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: found a relationship. Ashley's you know, going to have babies
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: in a year two? Same? Yeah? Am I right? Could
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: you measure me in the studio pregnant already? It seems
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: like I could play that game better than like a batman.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: I don't think our expectations for your are big time
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: the almost famous podcast that feels weird to say, No,
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: I'm and Ashley, I'm speaking of you. Actually we're just
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: like you. I'm really glad you came in the night.
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: Like I think there's some people that come into the
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: show and walk out and actually like we want to
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: be protective of that person. Sing your praises everywhere now
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: and I'm not We're like no one buttering you up.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: I know she'd be doing this like off Mike, but
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: really a lot of great vibes. Can I just go
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: back and say one more thing about Hannah By, Yeah,
• 1:20:28

• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: said the presidential thing. I feel like all of you

• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: like student body president. You have like that composure. Oh yeah,
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: I kind of feel like the random girl who like
