- 2:18Speaker 1: out for the Almost Famous podcast. Hey, let's take a break.
- 2:21Speaker 1: When we come back, we're gonna have Becca and Garrett
- 2:25Speaker 1: as our first guest. All right, we are back. We've
- 2:30Speaker 1: got Becca and Garrett on the podcast and we're gonna
- 2:34Speaker 1: be playing a little game with them. Since it's Valentine's
- 2:36Speaker 1: Day episode, We're gonna be doing a love game. But first,
- 2:40Speaker 1: I want to talk to you guys about life on
- 2:42Speaker 1: the road with Ben Higgins. Becca, what is one thing
- 2:46Speaker 1: that you've learned about Benna is surprising? Over the past
- 2:48Speaker 1: couple of weeks of rehearsals in the first couple of shows,
- 2:51Speaker 1: I have learned so much about Ben. I just learned
- 2:55Speaker 1: today that he was a zoo keeper in Peru, and
- 3:01Speaker 1: I'm very jealous because I, at some point in my
- 3:04Speaker 1: life would like to work out of zoo. So I
- 3:05Speaker 1: asked him what qualifications I need. Apparently, like in pre
- 3:08Speaker 1: you can kind of just go in and do it
- 3:10Speaker 1: and they'll let you feed the animals. Um. I also
- 3:13Speaker 1: learned that he doesn't wear deodorant. I did not know
- 3:16Speaker 1: about about your stick. No, I haven't warned the owner
- 3:19Speaker 1: in years. A Dean thing though, Dean about three years.
- 3:24Speaker 1: Dean was the one that kind of told me, talked
- 3:25Speaker 1: me into it. It was also the same thing with
- 3:27Speaker 1: like no underwear. It was a Dean thing that we
- 3:29Speaker 1: talked to anymore. I've kind of gone back. Dean and
- 3:32Speaker 1: I kind of went back at the same time. We
- 3:33Speaker 1: talked through this stuff often, but I've gone no, no
- 3:36Speaker 1: de owner for a while. It's so far I haven't
- 3:39Speaker 1: gotten anybody saying it's not a good deal. I've been
- 3:42Speaker 1: on stage with him now and through rehearsals for like
- 3:45Speaker 1: fourteen hour days, and I don't smell anything smell bad.
- 3:49Speaker 1: Why not a natural deodorant? Um? You know, I haven't
- 3:52Speaker 1: thought that much about it. There's moments like, if I'm
- 3:57Speaker 1: going out to something super stressful and I know that
- 4:00Speaker 1: it's gonna get me all worked up, I'll wear some
- 4:03Speaker 1: Dove deodorant, some Women's diordor some Dove all natural deodor Yeah,
- 4:07Speaker 1: it's really nice. So I want to know, have you
- 4:10Speaker 1: did you wear it for our first show in Mesa? No?
- 4:13Speaker 1: I forgot that was a bad one. I forgot that.
- 4:16Speaker 1: You do you think probably it was a stressful, stressful experience.
- 4:19Speaker 1: That's why I'm suppresed people yelling. I will say, though,
- 4:23Speaker 1: sometimes when I need extra strength deodor and I will
- 4:26Speaker 1: wear men's I'll go in and sneak garrets. I don't
- 4:29Speaker 1: think you've ever known that. But the best deodor and
- 4:32Speaker 1: if anybody out there is like hyper hydrosis um is
- 4:36Speaker 1: so to dry it is unbelievable. It will paralyze your armpits,
- 4:41Speaker 1: like both of us. I used to have to do
- 4:44Speaker 1: it in middle school, and I'd saved my life because
- 4:46Speaker 1: I would have like puddles in middle school. Did you
- 4:48Speaker 1: ever go through that? Back up? I think like a
- 4:49Speaker 1: lot of teenage girls go through that. I think, so see,
- 4:52Speaker 1: I'm not really a scarret like I did. I still did.
- 4:57Speaker 1: I did. But my sister had this weird prescription deodorant.
- 5:02Speaker 1: It's almost like so I used it I think two
- 5:05Speaker 1: or three times and then I didn't have all that's
- 5:08Speaker 1: all I needed, and then it was fine. That's what
- 5:10Speaker 1: it is. But yeah, but I think for me, it's
- 5:12Speaker 1: not like feeling sweaty, because I don't really sweat that much.
- 5:15Speaker 1: It's more just like I know if I'm like really nervous,
- 5:19Speaker 1: I can it's arms. Yeah, yeah, it's only when it's
- 5:23Speaker 1: like a high stress environment. Um. All right, So what
- 5:26Speaker 1: did you Ben learn about Becca so far being on
- 5:28Speaker 1: the road. Uh, you know, we so here's what kind
- 5:31Speaker 1: of where we're at right now on the tour. We're
- 5:34Speaker 1: a weekend. We've had one say I love the way
- 5:36Speaker 1: you say tour. It's like justin Timberlake and how he
- 5:38Speaker 1: says tour to Um. We will be on the road
- 5:42Speaker 1: now for four months. We just went through uh, our
- 5:45Speaker 1: first week of like fourteen hour day practices learning this show.
- 5:50Speaker 1: The first note I was just sharing with just other night,
- 5:53Speaker 1: is Becca really cares to do this well. And I
- 5:56Speaker 1: would imagine that transfers over to most things in life,
- 5:59Speaker 1: Like she really wants to do things well if she's
- 6:02Speaker 1: gonna do them. I've learned that I would have not expected.
- 6:06Speaker 1: It's just something I've seen and I respect that, especially
- 6:10Speaker 1: when you know, actually I get to sit on this
- 6:12Speaker 1: with you every week. I know you want this to
- 6:14Speaker 1: be done well. And like if you go into partnership
- 6:16Speaker 1: with somebody, and you go into business with somebody, you
- 6:18Speaker 1: go into a tour with somebody, you want them to
- 6:21Speaker 1: do it well because your name is out there as well,
- 6:23Speaker 1: just like this podcast. Um. The second thing is the
- 6:28Speaker 1: details really matter to Becca UM. And the third is
- 6:32Speaker 1: I don't think her brain has stopped churning since the
- 6:36Speaker 1: moment we stepped out on that stage, Like there's stuff
- 6:39Speaker 1: that she's computing through her mind. Like I think it's
- 6:40Speaker 1: probably been now five times that I've just started to
- 6:42Speaker 1: get come from up to tell her, like Becca, you
- 6:44Speaker 1: don't actually have to worry about that, Like, stop worrying
- 6:46Speaker 1: about that piece of the show. That isn't your job
- 6:48Speaker 1: to produce this side of the show. All you have
- 6:50Speaker 1: to do is get up there and speak, talk, entertain
- 6:53Speaker 1: don't worry about how the lights in the back are
- 6:55Speaker 1: gonna flash at this moment like that, ain't you because
- 6:59Speaker 1: you start trying to do all that and it's gonna
- 7:01Speaker 1: stress you out, like it's gonna paralyze you in this
- 7:03Speaker 1: like I don't you you don't know your role um,
- 7:08Speaker 1: and and so like for me, it's fun. I also
- 7:10Speaker 1: like love what I've I've noticed and just mentioned it
- 7:13Speaker 1: to me two nights ago after seeing it is this crew,
- 7:18Speaker 1: Actually you have the same quality about you. UM. And
- 7:22Speaker 1: actually the people that in the Batchelor world that I
- 7:24Speaker 1: think we've all stayed in contact with have this very
- 7:26Speaker 1: similar quality. It's a unique factor that that many people
- 7:29Speaker 1: in this world have, but some don't, and it's sad
- 7:31Speaker 1: when they don't. Is every person matters, no matter if
- 7:35Speaker 1: they are the least on the totem pole to the
- 7:40Speaker 1: highest person on the totem pole. They're always treated the same, um,
- 7:44Speaker 1: no matter if they were on this show or not
- 7:45Speaker 1: on the show. You look them in the eyes, you
- 7:48Speaker 1: think them for their time, you care about their experience. Um.
- 7:52Speaker 1: You want people to feel loved, and I think when
- 7:56Speaker 1: you have those type of people around you, like life
- 7:58Speaker 1: makes more sense. It gets a little better. So those
- 8:01Speaker 1: are the things so far. I think the other part
- 8:02Speaker 1: of this will be that Becca will enjoy the tour
- 8:05Speaker 1: bus and being around people a lot more than I will.
- 8:07Speaker 1: I love people, but as soon as I step on
- 8:10Speaker 1: the bus, I think my door is closing. Speaking of
- 8:12Speaker 1: you guys have separate tour buses. Yes, So how do
- 8:16Speaker 1: you guys feel that's going to go socially? Like? Is
- 8:18Speaker 1: Ben going to be the guy that goes back to
- 8:20Speaker 1: his hole every night and then you're like down to
- 8:23Speaker 1: socialize or like, how is this gonna go? Well? I
- 8:27Speaker 1: think I feel like I mean, we're only one show in,
- 8:32Speaker 1: so I think pretty soon we're gonna get tired. We're
- 8:34Speaker 1: gonna get run down because we've so far been going, going, going,
- 8:38Speaker 1: and we still have sixty sixty five shows to go.
- 8:41Speaker 1: Um I do like my alone time. But I also
- 8:44Speaker 1: I am now realizing because we have a whole crew.
- 8:46Speaker 1: We have the dancers, we have the stage manager, and um,
- 8:49Speaker 1: I we're on a group text and I have fomo
- 8:52Speaker 1: when they're all out doing stuff and I'm not with them,
- 8:55Speaker 1: and so right now they're going to a movie and dinner, Like, oh,
- 8:58Speaker 1: we should all be together. I think. I think after
- 9:01Speaker 1: each show, I mean, we'll all have our moments. And
- 9:03Speaker 1: we of course been and I had to do meet
- 9:05Speaker 1: and greets and meet all of the wonderful fans who
- 9:07Speaker 1: have spent so much money in time to see us.
- 9:11Speaker 1: But I definitely think I'm gonna need a glass of wine,
- 9:15Speaker 1: chill out with the girls. Garrett will be there for
- 9:17Speaker 1: some of it with minnow and then yeah, we're gonna
- 9:20Speaker 1: want We're gonna close those doors and probably pass out. No, no,
- 9:24Speaker 1: no offense any person. It's just like too much interaction
- 9:27Speaker 1: with humans. I mean like it paralyzes me to where
- 9:30Speaker 1: like I don't even know who I am. Yeah, say,
- 9:32Speaker 1: I get so exhausted. I've gotten I gotten rid of
- 9:36Speaker 1: fomo in my whole system, Like I don't experience fomo anymore.
- 9:39Speaker 1: I'm like, if I need to be alone, it's because
- 9:41Speaker 1: of a reason. I don't fear missing out because I
- 9:43Speaker 1: know that I'm doing what I want well. And that's
- 9:45Speaker 1: why since the show, I will say I've gotten better
- 9:48Speaker 1: at that, Like I've gotten better at saying no, especially
- 9:51Speaker 1: because Garrett's also very social and so Garrett, I'm like,
- 9:54Speaker 1: if you want to do that tonight, go hang out
- 9:56Speaker 1: with your friends to your thing. Um, I think it.
- 9:58Speaker 1: I was just on this high starting the rehearsals in
- 10:01Speaker 1: the show that I love being around all of them,
- 10:03Speaker 1: and especially there's moments when we're backstage or if we're
- 10:06Speaker 1: interchanging rooms and it's quiet, I'm like, where are the dancers,
- 10:09Speaker 1: where are the girls? Where I need someone here to
- 10:11Speaker 1: kind of pump me up. But it is everyone going
- 10:15Speaker 1: through something like this is going to need their alone time.
- 10:17Speaker 1: That brings us into the first game of this episode. Uh,
- 10:20Speaker 1: we're gonna play a couple of games during this podcast
- 10:22Speaker 1: with some of our couples that come onto into the
- 10:25Speaker 1: living room that we're talking at right now. We're asking
- 10:28Speaker 1: a few questions about their relationship, some questions that aren't
- 10:31Speaker 1: bachelor focused, someones that I think are interesting. We're gonna
- 10:34Speaker 1: start with this one. I've pulled it, so this is
- 10:36Speaker 1: what the game looks like. There's this like tube that
- 10:38Speaker 1: has sticks in it. Uh, these sticks have questions on them.
- 10:42Speaker 1: I've been pulling these sticks out. Whatever stick I get,
- 10:45Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you the question. So if it's super inappropriate,
- 10:47Speaker 1: I'm sorry, blame it on the game. The game is
- 10:51Speaker 1: called Kinky Truth or Dare I like it? This is
- 10:56Speaker 1: gonna be a question for both of you answer however
- 10:59Speaker 1: you feel comfortable. What is something that Becca does, Garrett
- 11:05Speaker 1: that really turns you on? He's so nervous right now. Yeah,
- 11:12Speaker 1: something that Becca does that really turns me on is, uh,
- 11:17Speaker 1: when she walks around and does laundry or anything in
- 11:20Speaker 1: her lingerie. In her lingerie, like in underwear lingerie, I
- 11:25Speaker 1: walk around just naked. Ye see, I don't feel sexy walking.
- 11:32Speaker 1: I don't feel sexy naked. I feel sexy in lingerie oh,
- 11:35Speaker 1: I love to be naked in my apartment. I don't
- 11:38Speaker 1: know what it is, and I know probably our neighbors
- 11:40Speaker 1: can see us. But I'm either in my robe or
- 11:43Speaker 1: just like and I don't want any clothes. Becca will
- 11:46Speaker 1: do it, like if I'm watching TV. She'll come around
- 11:49Speaker 1: the corner and be like, Garrett, pay attention to me,
- 11:51Speaker 1: and I'll be like, okay, Garrett, do you walk around naked? Sometimes? Oh? Yeah?
- 11:58Speaker 1: Are both such private people when it comes to like
- 12:02Speaker 1: physical stuff. That man like he barely changes underwear in
- 12:07Speaker 1: front of me. We'll see. I don't know if the
- 12:11Speaker 1: people live across that. We live on the top floor
- 12:13Speaker 1: of our apartment complex, and I don't know if the
- 12:15Speaker 1: people across from us can see us. But sometimes I
- 12:18Speaker 1: do a very obnoxious thing where I'm like, hey, I
- 12:20Speaker 1: wonder if they're looking in our apartment right now? Just
- 12:23Speaker 1: like he bent over naked naked, and then he'll start
- 12:29Speaker 1: like shaking his head. I'll give him the fruit bath.
- 12:33Speaker 1: Are you going to do this on the tour bus?
- 12:34Speaker 1: So gay? Are you gonna stay on the tour bus
- 12:36Speaker 1: the entire tour? No? I meet up with their roughly
- 12:39Speaker 1: every two weeks. Oh well, that's a lot of time
- 12:42Speaker 1: apart there's six other people. I thought you're gonna be
- 12:46Speaker 1: like mooning Ben. I might could move the tour bus,
- 12:50Speaker 1: but I wouldn't show other Beckett, what's something that Gerett does?
- 12:54Speaker 1: It really turns you on? This is a fun he
- 12:59Speaker 1: does this thing. Oh I've said it before, but he
- 13:01Speaker 1: likes to rub ears. And for some reason, it feels
- 13:06Speaker 1: so good to me that every time he does, I
- 13:08Speaker 1: just like pulling closer and I'm like, don't stop. And
- 13:11Speaker 1: I don't know it's and I don't think he means
- 13:14Speaker 1: it to be more sensual, but it just feels so
- 13:17Speaker 1: good that it is. I love when he rubs my ears.
- 13:20Speaker 1: Next question, I'm pulling out here again. This is at random. Um,
- 13:28Speaker 1: but when we're speaking of your relationship, okay, just your relationship,
- 13:34Speaker 1: has Garrett, have you ever sustained from physical intimacy of
- 13:41Speaker 1: any kind? We don't have to go into your details.
- 13:44Speaker 1: Any type of injury, I would just say, um, very
- 13:49Speaker 1: sore hit flex er, yeah, Becca. Injury for me personally, well,
- 13:56Speaker 1: I mean we broke a headboard, so we injured. That's
- 14:00Speaker 1: Fantasya and the fantasy suite. That's right, we got that
- 14:03Speaker 1: one down Um, you gonna with a flimsy headboard or
- 14:08Speaker 1: was it just that powerful? It was an intense I
- 14:13Speaker 1: think I went and it went so um. Well, hey guys,
- 14:19Speaker 1: we have one last question for you all before we
- 14:21Speaker 1: send you off. I know that you, Uh it's Valentine's
- 14:24Speaker 1: da you're gonna go out to dinner and night celebrate.
- 14:27Speaker 1: But pulled a card out of a second game that
- 14:30Speaker 1: we're playing. It's called the Ultimate Game for Couples. Uh,
- 14:32Speaker 1: this game that will play at the end. We'll just
- 14:34Speaker 1: ask you one question about your relationship and you each
- 14:37Speaker 1: have to answer it. Uh, Garret, I'm gonna start with you.
- 14:41Speaker 1: What was the first restaurant you and Becca ate at
- 14:44Speaker 1: together outside of this whole experience? The first restaurant that
- 14:52Speaker 1: Becka and I ate at outside you can discuss together.
- 14:54Speaker 1: I guess it's a good question. Oh yeah, it was
- 14:57Speaker 1: New York we went. I think it was. It was
- 15:01Speaker 1: a place called Catch. Actually, you want to know our
- 15:04Speaker 1: first thing we had was Starbucks and a croissant sandwich
- 15:08Speaker 1: at g m A. That is true. It was your
- 15:11Speaker 1: first meal and I bet that felt so weird. Yeah, yeah,
- 15:14Speaker 1: it was finally the first time we could be seen
- 15:16Speaker 1: in public. Together, and yeah, we were in the back
- 15:18Speaker 1: room at g m A with people and yeah, I
- 15:22Speaker 1: shouldn't have done a VENTI yeah, huh, No, I I
- 15:29Speaker 1: didn't feel poopy. I just felt like I just felt
- 15:32Speaker 1: like I was gonna no. I feel like I'm a
- 15:35Speaker 1: generally energetic guy, and when I did that, I had
- 15:38Speaker 1: like I was so overly energetic that I had to
- 15:42Speaker 1: tell myself internally calmed down. And I was so in
- 15:45Speaker 1: my mind to calm down that the prompter came on
- 15:48Speaker 1: and only Becca said good morning America. So they're like
- 15:53Speaker 1: a Jared headlights in. Michael Strahan and I looked at him,
- 15:55Speaker 1: were like yeah. I was like, oh, was I supposed
- 16:00Speaker 1: to say? I gotta wrap about this interview? How's your
- 16:03Speaker 1: relationship with Michael Strahan, your celebrity crush before all of us?
- 16:08Speaker 1: How was it before? How is it crush all this? Yeah?
- 16:12Speaker 1: So how's your relationship today with him? Michael? If you're listening,
- 16:15Speaker 1: I think it's amazing. I'm upset because Ben and I
- 16:19Speaker 1: were just with him a couple of weeks ago, and
- 16:21Speaker 1: Ben has his number, and I don't some a little
- 16:24Speaker 1: bits heard about that, but he's wonderful. Next to the bed,
- 16:28Speaker 1: she has a picture of Michael Strahan in a heart
- 16:30Speaker 1: and Minnow he's not joking. Michael stram is next to
- 16:35Speaker 1: my bed. It's at my mom's house, but it's there.
- 16:37Speaker 1: You guys, can we just have a Michael streehand appreciation moment.
- 16:41Speaker 1: That is one of the most friendly, genuine men ever,
- 16:44Speaker 1: Just as friendly and peppy on stage as he is
- 16:48Speaker 1: in the back room. But to everyone, not even when
- 16:51Speaker 1: he's on and to whoever he's hosting, it's to everyone.
- 16:54Speaker 1: He's friends with everyone. He truly feels friendship goes back
- 16:57Speaker 1: to the beginning. He's one of those unique people that genuinely,
- 17:02Speaker 1: I think, care about people no matter what place you're
- 17:05Speaker 1: in life. He just enjoys an interaction with another human.
- 17:09Speaker 1: And I think we talked about that. That's that is
- 17:10Speaker 1: a factor as we get older and older, that is
- 17:14Speaker 1: a differentiator that I think we all are learning to

- 18:45Speaker 1: this game. I'm reading through these questions right now. They
- 18:48Speaker 1: were about to ask these couples. I have to filter
- 18:49Speaker 1: them a bit. I mean, this game was created by Goop,
- 18:53Speaker 1: which is a Grit Paltrow company. This is a Goop game.
- 18:56Speaker 1: It's a Goop game. It is un real. I mean,
- 19:01Speaker 1: there's stuff that I'm seeing and reading in here that
- 19:03Speaker 1: is that is way beyond anything I could have imagined. Alright, guys, um,
- 19:07Speaker 1: Jared's in studio. Hi baby, Hey babe, Can I just say, actually,
- 19:12Speaker 1: you've given so uch more exciting entrances to everybody, but yes,
- 19:16Speaker 1: so Jared's here. Give me every day. I see him
- 19:19Speaker 1: when I wake up, when I get to bed. Um,
- 19:21Speaker 1: when he she's just not excited to say anymore. You
- 19:23Speaker 1: believe this, Ben, Can you believe this would be I'm
- 19:26Speaker 1: always excited to see you. You're you don't really care
- 19:29Speaker 1: about saying, man, are you kidding me? I always care
- 19:31Speaker 1: about saying I'm always one trying to touch you, always
- 19:34Speaker 1: cuddle with you. You never you never want to do this. Literally,
- 19:37Speaker 1: when he walks in the door, I go, baby, and
- 19:40Speaker 1: I walked in the door and I look up. I'm like,
- 19:44Speaker 1: oh God, I gotta get out of here. She's here.
- 19:46Speaker 1: I was really praying to come home and she wouldn't
- 19:48Speaker 1: be here. Of course, now I'm always happy when you're here.
- 19:51Speaker 1: I got an idea, get really silent, Ashley. Let's picture
- 19:56Speaker 1: in your mind. Jared just walks through the door. What
- 19:58Speaker 1: do you do? Did you do exactly what you just did?
- 20:03Speaker 1: Arms raised in my arms and I go like, babies homes.
- 20:10Speaker 1: It's pretty sweet sometimes because she knows how much I
- 20:13Speaker 1: love our dog, Lois, and Lois is super excited when
- 20:16Speaker 1: we get home, just like I need a dog, and
- 20:17Speaker 1: her tails going a mile a minute. So sometimes actually
- 20:19Speaker 1: pretend to be Lois when lois Is get up and
- 20:22Speaker 1: start shocking her. But it's really adorable. I should really
- 20:25Speaker 1: capture it on video because one time he was like, well,
- 20:28Speaker 1: I'm sorry you don't give you the attention that I
- 20:30Speaker 1: give Lois. It's just that you're not You're not right
- 20:32Speaker 1: here ragging your tain. No. I know what I say,
- 20:35Speaker 1: because I'm like, actually, of course I get more excited,
- 20:38Speaker 1: want to say Lois, like, you're not at the door
- 20:39Speaker 1: shaking your ass. When I walked through and now I
- 20:43Speaker 1: actually's got it well, Jared. This podcast has been a blast.
- 20:46Speaker 1: We've been asking some super just like, I mean, definitely
- 20:49Speaker 1: inappropriate questions from this game called Kinky Truth or Dare.
- 20:53Speaker 1: I saw it in the corner earlier and I really
- 20:54Speaker 1: wanted to play, So I'm pretty happy read. It's actually
- 20:56Speaker 1: been fun. We've gotten some great answers. It's been funny.
- 20:59Speaker 1: We're keeping this podcast about love and relationships and getting
- 21:02Speaker 1: to know these couples a little bit better. Uh. To
- 21:05Speaker 1: start the game, I'm going to ask a question that
- 21:09Speaker 1: you both need to answer to be answer at the
- 21:11Speaker 1: same time. No no answer separately. Jared will start with
- 21:14Speaker 1: you perfect. I love it. I love beginning things. What
- 21:18Speaker 1: makes Ashley angrier than it should, angrier than it should, frustrated, angrier,
- 21:25Speaker 1: like angry. I always think of enchanted. Um, the first
- 21:31Speaker 1: thing one of the man I had something in mind.
- 21:33Speaker 1: But one thing it's so stupid is making the bed,
- 21:36Speaker 1: Like I make the bed and it looks great, but
- 21:37Speaker 1: then she'll come in and it doesn't, like look perfect.
- 21:40Speaker 1: I've got a lot better. What else gets you angry?
- 21:42Speaker 1: I used to get angry that he would make the
- 21:44Speaker 1: bed and like he would just like throw the comforter.
- 21:47Speaker 1: It's basically like if you just like throw the comfort
- 21:49Speaker 1: to the other side and it was like it's made
- 21:53Speaker 1: and just throw the pillows on. It's made. But now
- 21:55Speaker 1: he really knows how to make it bed. She's pretty
- 21:57Speaker 1: justified in a lot of things. She gets angry at
- 21:59Speaker 1: because I was gonna say I procrastinate, but that's pretty justified.
- 22:02Speaker 1: Like all the way. If I need to do something
- 22:04Speaker 1: and she's like, oh, you need an email, this presson, Like, okay,
- 22:06Speaker 1: I'll do it letter, She's like, no, why don't you
- 22:08Speaker 1: do it right now? Well the thing what about? No,
- 22:10Speaker 1: I get it? I get it payment. He's like, oh,
- 22:13Speaker 1: PODCAST told me to email her and then I didn't
- 22:17Speaker 1: do it too it was too late. No, I did email,
- 22:19Speaker 1: but then I never followed up. Long story short anyway,
- 22:21Speaker 1: so this is fantastic. I also I am a big
- 22:23Speaker 1: follow uper Like he'll just forget that the email was set,
- 22:26Speaker 1: and I don't forget opportunity that didn't happen. I don't
- 22:29Speaker 1: like to bother people. Don't get the opportunity. Jared. If
- 22:31Speaker 1: I email someone and din't respond, oh, well, what happened yesterday?
- 22:35Speaker 1: I know I gret up for him, and then she goes,
- 22:37Speaker 1: oh my god, I forgot all about it. So the
- 22:40Speaker 1: dark hole of my email I would have totally forgotten. Okay, Ashley,
- 22:45Speaker 1: what makes Jared angrier than it should? Everything? Everything, and
- 22:51Speaker 1: it cannot be football related or any Boston sports related.
- 22:54Speaker 1: Please I have an answer. But you go probably traveling traffic, traffic,
- 22:59Speaker 1: anything that's transport. Oh, if you want to hear a
- 23:02Speaker 1: fight that we had last week, So we were on
- 23:05Speaker 1: our way to a movie downtown l A. We were
- 23:08Speaker 1: even like, I wanted to go to one of those
- 23:10Speaker 1: lounge theaters where they they serve you dinner during it
- 23:12Speaker 1: and then you get a recliner. So we even were like,
- 23:16Speaker 1: we're gonna need We're gonna need an hour for traffic.
- 23:19Speaker 1: And when we accepted this, he got very angry. And
- 23:23Speaker 1: then we were in traffic and he was angry about traffic,
- 23:27Speaker 1: and we were planning a trip to see Jaden Tannard
- 23:30Speaker 1: in Orange County the next day, and I was like, Jared,
- 23:32Speaker 1: I truly don't know if this is gonna like it's
- 23:35Speaker 1: if it's worth it, because you get so angry from
- 23:37Speaker 1: traffic that I think that like, you need to pick
- 23:41Speaker 1: your mental health over this, and then he said, I'm
- 23:44Speaker 1: gonna be fine, Like I know, I'm really angry in traffic,
- 23:46Speaker 1: but then I get there and I'm happy. It was
- 23:49Speaker 1: that not the case. You were fine. But was it
- 23:51Speaker 1: worth I'm not sure that it was worth it. It
- 23:54Speaker 1: was worth an hour of anger anger management. Maybe if
- 23:58Speaker 1: you're you're you and I'm not me being like scared
- 24:01Speaker 1: in the passenger seats. Are you really scared of There
- 24:04Speaker 1: was a couple of moments where you pressed on the
- 24:06Speaker 1: gas like very much control of the car. Don't let
- 24:11Speaker 1: her full you been so this is this is what
- 24:15Speaker 1: makes me super angry is when Jared's angry, he uses
- 24:19Speaker 1: the F word. I yell at myself constantly. He says,
- 24:23Speaker 1: screaming it not at me here It isn't a big
- 24:26Speaker 1: cussor like he doesn't like he causes more than that
- 24:30Speaker 1: to him, but I a but like when he gets mad,
- 24:35Speaker 1: that effort flies out of his mouth every third word,
- 24:38Speaker 1: and I just feel very uncomfortable. I'm working on it.
- 24:41Speaker 1: I it's when I get angry, I I yell at
- 24:44Speaker 1: myself because here's here's here's my answer is that I
- 24:48Speaker 1: overreact when I do something stupid, and I just beat
- 24:52Speaker 1: myself to hell over it. It's so stupid. Last night's
- 24:54Speaker 1: perfect example. I literally heat it up pizza and he
- 24:58Speaker 1: out dropped the p I dropped the pizza on the floor,
- 25:04Speaker 1: and I was like, I have such idiot, And then
- 25:08Speaker 1: like ten minutes later, I was like, I dropped pizza
- 25:09Speaker 1: on the floor. Why am I beating myself over there?
- 25:12Speaker 1: Actually mad third degree burns on his hands because then
- 25:16Speaker 1: I just get angry. I'm like, why how did I
- 25:18Speaker 1: drop pizza? How did I do that? It's the dumbest thing.
- 25:22Speaker 1: Or if I'll forget to do something, I'm like, oh,
- 25:24Speaker 1: I'm such an idiot. God, I sucked. And she's like,
- 25:27Speaker 1: halm down, you you forgot to put the envelope in
- 25:30Speaker 1: the mail. You're fine. Well, it's worth noting team they're
- 25:34Speaker 1: very much in love um and we very much loved
- 25:37Speaker 1: Jared this. This is the first Valentine's Day that they've
- 25:43Speaker 1: spent together as a married couple, which obviously this will
- 25:45Speaker 1: be the first year they spent together as a married couple. Jared,
- 25:48Speaker 1: We've been playing this game kinky truth or dare Actuley
- 25:50Speaker 1: typically is pulling out the sticks, but I'm going to
- 25:52Speaker 1: pull them out this time. The question I want to
- 25:55Speaker 1: ask you and Ashley you both have to answer this now,
- 25:59Speaker 1: is what is your ultimate role play fantasy? Now, when
- 26:02Speaker 1: I say this, please don't jump to conclusions that this
- 26:05Speaker 1: has to be sexual. This is about your intimacy with
- 26:11Speaker 1: your partner. What is your ultimate role play fantasy? I
- 26:15Speaker 1: mean the only thing I can think it's sexual? So
- 26:19Speaker 1: you can jump he would play cops and robbers in
- 26:22Speaker 1: our spare time? Is that we're to Uh, I know
- 26:26Speaker 1: what Jared's is. He's not going to share it on
- 26:28Speaker 1: the podcast. What do you think it is? What it is?
- 26:34Speaker 1: I mean, you have a pretty good idea. Does it
- 26:37Speaker 1: have to do with any Boston sports team? It's more
- 26:41Speaker 1: of like, uh, I have like looked at there's like
- 26:45Speaker 1: some Patriots laingerie and Okay, so I was like, I
- 26:53Speaker 1: was like, is he gonna like this? Like, is he
- 26:55Speaker 1: gonna even want me to spend a hundred dollars on
- 26:57Speaker 1: this bra? Probably not. I like Tom Brady's pick, like
- 27:03Speaker 1: I love Tom ready, but not in that way I
- 27:06Speaker 1: would say, yeah. I mean obviously as as men like
- 27:09Speaker 1: I I am a big fan of lingerie, big supporter,
- 27:12Speaker 1: but like I guess more of just like a fantasy
- 27:15Speaker 1: is more of um, yeah, I mean, are you going
- 27:19Speaker 1: to say no, you can't say it. You can't say it.
- 27:22Speaker 1: You guys can probably get an idea. I don't think
- 27:25Speaker 1: I have any idea. Do you want to give us anything? Like,
- 27:29Speaker 1: what is some fantasy that you have in your relationship
- 27:32Speaker 1: with Ashley? Kids? A bigger house? Oh well, that obviously
- 27:36Speaker 1: begin a family, buying buying a house. Owning property would
- 27:41Speaker 1: be a big goal of ours. That's a great I've
- 27:44Speaker 1: never owned property, so I really would like ultimate fantasy
- 27:48Speaker 1: with your relationship with Jared, which your ultimate fantasy with me,
- 27:52Speaker 1: A fantasy would have would be to have more closet space,
- 27:56Speaker 1: an easy fantasy. Really, you have all the closets. If
- 27:59Speaker 1: this listeners, If this uh interview has has not summed
- 28:03Speaker 1: up a marriage a marriage, I don't know what else would.
- 28:08Speaker 1: I don't know if we're going to get an answer
- 28:09Speaker 1: out of Ashley actually gonna give us an answer. No,
- 28:12Speaker 1: you're not gonna give us an answer. Fantasy, a fantasy
- 28:15Speaker 1: of okay, fine, I have a fantasy, a fantasy that
- 28:18Speaker 1: Jared like grabs me on the couch and embraces me
- 28:22Speaker 1: tightly every night. That is a great fantasy. I think
- 28:25Speaker 1: that's very, very sweet. And every night, you know, sometimes
- 28:28Speaker 1: you just want to you want to lean on your
- 28:31Speaker 1: side and get a nice rest. A week where Jared
- 28:35Speaker 1: leans towards me on the couch would be a fantasy.
- 28:38Speaker 1: I leaned towards you once, asked, never again, Jared, are
- 28:43Speaker 1: you gonna have that couch alone? Jared? I want to
- 28:45Speaker 1: talk about her her closet fantasy. We have six closets.
- 28:48Speaker 1: You have four dedicated to your clothes, the other one filled.
- 28:52Speaker 1: You still have so much blank space in there. You
- 28:54Speaker 1: can use some mine. I don't want to. I like
- 28:56Speaker 1: it all organized the way it is. I don't want
- 28:58Speaker 1: using my closet either. Hey good, thanks for co to

- 29:15Speaker 1: giggling while folding laundry stage. Yeah, we were definitely giggling.
- 29:20Speaker 1: I want to giggle off. Get out of here, Jared,
- 29:23Speaker 1: get out of here, and then need one to pay
- 29:26Speaker 1: me up against the wall. Those fun times. But you
- 29:28Speaker 1: should definitely listen to help I Suck a Dating and
- 29:30Speaker 1: I'm a radio podcast with Dean Angler and myself. We
- 29:32Speaker 1: talk about all things dating. It's great, it's wonderful. She
- 29:34Speaker 1: should also follow us on social media. We are at
- 29:36Speaker 1: help I right post pictures of Dean's face, so you
- 29:40Speaker 1: should totally check it out because I know you love
- 29:42Speaker 1: Dean's face. Okay, pod guys, we have Kalin coming onto
- 29:52Speaker 1: our podcast. Kalin is one of our favorite people in
- 29:55Speaker 1: the world. She is the mother to Pappy and the
- 29:58Speaker 1: girlfriend to Dean Kalen. Dean's not up here right now.
- 30:03Speaker 1: This is a couple's focused podcast, so I'm a little
- 30:05Speaker 1: bit disappointed. Why isn't he here? Um, well, you know Dean.
- 30:10Speaker 1: You know Dean very well, and you know how difficult
- 30:12Speaker 1: Dean likes to be. So Dean decided when we first
- 30:16Speaker 1: started dating that we won't do joint interviews. Yeah, I mean,
- 30:19Speaker 1: if you guys remember he didn't do it when we
- 30:21Speaker 1: were at the I Heart Festival in September and he's
- 30:23Speaker 1: still sticking to this rule. Yeah, we had to do
- 30:25Speaker 1: the newly wed game, but apart. So it's been eight
- 30:28Speaker 1: months and still no joint interviews. What's the purpose to
- 30:31Speaker 1: this mystery. Uh do he just likes to be different
- 30:34Speaker 1: and this is just one way to be different. I
- 30:36Speaker 1: guess I don't know. Oh my god, we have to
- 30:38Speaker 1: talk about the fact that he's been wearing a wedding
- 30:40Speaker 1: ring lately. So first he tried he first tried to
- 30:44Speaker 1: fool me into saying that you guys got married while
- 30:47Speaker 1: you were in Europe, and I still believe that you did.
- 30:50Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm allowed to talk about this, Okay,
- 30:58Speaker 1: But he's wearing a wedding band, Dina is wearing a
- 31:00Speaker 1: wedding band. Is this a symbol of his love and
- 31:04Speaker 1: devotion commitment to you? It could be. I think it is.
- 31:07Speaker 1: And I think he wore started wearing it after his
- 31:10Speaker 1: injury because you just were there by his side, nursing him,
- 31:14Speaker 1: taking care of him. And I think it's really really cute.
- 31:16Speaker 1: I feel like that was such a defining moment in
- 31:18Speaker 1: your relationship. No, I think I was just talking to
- 31:21Speaker 1: Jess about this. Actually, Um, we had forty days consecutively together,
- 31:25Speaker 1: like forty five days, whereas before five consecutive days and
- 31:30Speaker 1: we were never part in this forty five days, and
- 31:33Speaker 1: so previously it was like spend a week together, spend
- 31:36Speaker 1: a week off for two weeks together, two weeks off,
- 31:38Speaker 1: and this kind of like forced us together for a
- 31:41Speaker 1: long period of time. And I was like, this could
- 31:43Speaker 1: make or break. Guess like, we haven't been together for
- 31:45Speaker 1: this long. We both need our time apart, so how's
- 31:47Speaker 1: this going to go? And it definitely brought us a
- 31:49Speaker 1: lot closer, So I'm super. I mean, it sucks to
- 31:51Speaker 1: say like he broke his leg, but it definitely did
- 31:55Speaker 1: a good job in a relationship bring us together. How
- 31:58Speaker 1: are you indean doing that? I mean, I know it's
- 32:00Speaker 1: a very like general, like really terrible question, like how
- 32:02Speaker 1: are you doing? But you sit here now, after fort
- 32:05Speaker 1: or five days together, you have helped nurse him back
- 32:10Speaker 1: to health. He is wearing a ring. I don't know
- 32:13Speaker 1: if it's even worth. Never got tired of each other.
- 32:16Speaker 1: How are you doing? Um? I think we're good. I
- 32:19Speaker 1: think we're the best we've ever been. I think our
- 32:22Speaker 1: relationship just continues to go stronger and stronger. We just
- 32:25Speaker 1: have this trust between each other, and um, it's good.
- 32:28Speaker 1: I I get annoyed people very easily. I wish that
- 32:32Speaker 1: wasn't a trait that I had, but I do and
- 32:33Speaker 1: I need time alone. But with him, I realized this,
- 32:35Speaker 1: and I was traveling with other people, I was like,
- 32:38Speaker 1: he is one person that I spent time with and
- 32:40Speaker 1: I like, yeah, he gets on my nerves sometimes, but
- 32:42Speaker 1: I don't really. I'm never like, God, I just need
- 32:44Speaker 1: like a ton of time away from you. There are
- 32:46Speaker 1: like little times here and there, but for the most part,
- 32:48Speaker 1: like I can travel with this guy for forever and
- 32:51Speaker 1: just be really happy and content with that. That's one
- 32:53Speaker 1: of the things that made me realize. I was like, oh,
- 32:56Speaker 1: Jared and I can really really be together because we
- 32:59Speaker 1: just never get tired of each other whenever you need
- 33:02Speaker 1: space from each other. Really, yeah, it's it's a cool
- 33:05Speaker 1: thing for someone who's like we both get annoyed with
- 33:07Speaker 1: each other or not each other. Like people were just
- 33:09Speaker 1: like we were the super people who need time alone.
- 33:11Speaker 1: Me too. I never thought i'd be able to have like, well,
- 33:14Speaker 1: I thought I could have a husband, but I'd be like,
- 33:15Speaker 1: oh my god, I'll be craving my alone time and
- 33:18Speaker 1: how is it going to be living with somebody who's
- 33:20Speaker 1: not a family member. And it wasn't weird at all.
- 33:25Speaker 1: That's great. You just mentioned that Dean is a little
- 33:27Speaker 1: difficult sometimes. How has it been for you kind of
- 33:31Speaker 1: processing through building your relationship with somebody that is like
- 33:36Speaker 1: almost enjoys being difficult. He does enjoy being difficult. He does. Um,
- 33:40Speaker 1: he definitely does. And I was actually just talking about
- 33:43Speaker 1: our dog was perfect before I left for BALI. I
- 33:45Speaker 1: left for eight days and I came back and the
- 33:47Speaker 1: dog is now a terror. Um, And I blame it
- 33:50Speaker 1: all Indean, But I don't know dating him, it's it's
- 33:54Speaker 1: a very unique relationship. And I don't think I could
- 33:58Speaker 1: date anyone else after dating him, just because I love
- 34:01Speaker 1: the way he challenges me. I love his difficultness. At
- 34:04Speaker 1: times it is frustrating, but I just love that it's
- 34:07Speaker 1: not it's a very unpredictable relationship. I think unpredictability would
- 34:12Speaker 1: be a good way to describe Dean. Dean I would
- 34:14Speaker 1: imagine as a great partner to you, Kalen. We want
- 34:17Speaker 1: to learn a little bit more about your relationship. The
- 34:20Speaker 1: very first question we have for any couple coming up
- 34:22Speaker 1: here to night is where's the very first place? Where's
- 34:25Speaker 1: the very first restaurant you ate yet together? Oh? Um,
- 34:28Speaker 1: I think the first restaurant we ate at together side
- 34:30Speaker 1: from Paradise was in l a X one of those
- 34:33Speaker 1: restaurants in there. Maybe after that, I don't My first
- 34:36Speaker 1: meal with Dean was also really that's so funny by
- 34:40Speaker 1: it today, I was like, why does that place feel meaningful?
- 34:42Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, that's where I really met Dean
- 34:45Speaker 1: for the first Yes, we came back from Europe right
- 34:47Speaker 1: after his accident, and we're like, that's very sad. That's alre.
- 34:50Speaker 1: We had our first meal together outside of Paradise. That
- 34:52Speaker 1: was like technically our first date. That's incredible. Okay, So
- 34:56Speaker 1: we're also playing a game called Kinky truth or dare.
- 34:59Speaker 1: Ashley has reached into the funnel here and pulled out
- 35:06Speaker 1: She's going to ask you, I'm shaking it now you
- 35:08Speaker 1: here and kind of get an idea of what it is.
- 35:10Speaker 1: Actually pull that out and ask one of the truth
- 35:12Speaker 1: to Caitlin for her to answer about her relationship. I
- 35:15Speaker 1: don't know. This feels like the Elite Daily article I
- 35:17Speaker 1: had about Lub yesterday. I had an interview about Lub
- 35:21Speaker 1: yesterday and it was very awkward. I'll say that, Um,
- 35:25Speaker 1: so this is up that Alley who taught you the
- 35:30Speaker 1: most about sex and how to please a partner? I
- 35:34Speaker 1: have to talk. Let's not make this just about say
- 35:36Speaker 1: you could pfy it. Let's like say, like, who taught
- 35:39Speaker 1: you the most about intimacy physical intimacy? Mm hmm, I
- 35:44Speaker 1: think okay. In my relationship with Dean, it's just it
- 35:47Speaker 1: is so we can be so honest, we can be
- 35:49Speaker 1: I've never been fully myself. And we were actually talking
- 35:52Speaker 1: about this on our drive up, Um that in past
- 35:55Speaker 1: relationships they haven't gone through the trials and trip relations
- 35:58Speaker 1: or had hardships in their life like we have. We've
- 36:00Speaker 1: had to hide that part of us. So with Dean,
- 36:02Speaker 1: I feel like I've just learned so much about myself
- 36:04Speaker 1: in terms of intimacy, in terms of everything that I'm
- 36:07Speaker 1: He's just taught me a lot. So Dean as a person,
- 36:12Speaker 1: even with his difficulty, has taught you incredible intimacy in
- 36:18Speaker 1: all parts of your life. Kleen, what have you taught Dean?
- 36:21Speaker 1: You think? Um? I always get asked this, and I
- 36:26Speaker 1: always I'm like, I don't know. UM. I know that
- 36:30Speaker 1: I've learned so much from him, and I know he's
- 36:31Speaker 1: learned from me. Whether it be we both have to
- 36:33Speaker 1: leave in patience for each other because we both are
- 36:35Speaker 1: so different. Um. But he's also I feel like opened
- 36:38Speaker 1: up more with me too. I don't know, how do
- 36:41Speaker 1: you say no when he smiles? I can't. It's so frustrating.
- 36:46Speaker 1: Now I have a dog he gives me puppy eyes,
- 36:48Speaker 1: but I also have Dean who gives like the best
- 36:49Speaker 1: puppy eyes, and he'll do something to make me mad
- 36:52Speaker 1: or piss me off, and then I'm like, I forgive
- 36:54Speaker 1: you because you're just so freaking handsome and cute and
- 36:56Speaker 1: you're so sweetest. Yes, be hard to be Dean canon Less.
- 37:02Speaker 1: Be hard to be you too. You're absolutely beautiful. You're glowing. Caln,
- 37:06Speaker 1: thank you for coming on our podcast. It means a
- 37:08Speaker 1: lot for us for you to come up here, uh
- 37:10Speaker 1: speak with us about this relationship, even though Dean won't.
- 37:13Speaker 1: We appreciate you come up. We'll see, I don't know,
- 37:17Speaker 1: we'll see how we can drag stick you know what,
- 37:21Speaker 1: worried about the popsicle sticks. I'm a little worried. Um, Calen,
- 37:26Speaker 1: will let you go for now, get back downstairs, warm
- 37:29Speaker 1: up a bit. Thank you for coming on the podcast.
- 37:30Speaker 1: Thank you so much. We just talked to Kaylin, which
- 37:42Speaker 1: is the half of this ungler uh Calin relationship. That
- 37:48Speaker 1: we that we so well nobody knows, you know, is
- 37:53Speaker 1: Caitlin's last name Ungler? Now maybe it's Millard? You Miller? Well,
- 38:01Speaker 1: we hinted at it earlier. Dean you said it's the
- 38:03Speaker 1: only reason you're up here. It's not the only reason
- 38:05Speaker 1: you're up here. But we'll get out of the way
- 38:06Speaker 1: right just right off the top, you have a ring
- 38:09Speaker 1: on your finger? What does it represent? And why is
- 38:13Speaker 1: it there? He just updated it, by the way, he
- 38:15Speaker 1: got a new ring, like this is something that he's
- 38:17Speaker 1: really planning on having on his finger for a while.
- 38:19Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I got I got my finger measures
- 38:21Speaker 1: and about this nice black ring. Um, I don't I
- 38:25Speaker 1: appreciate your asking a question right where on your left hand? Yes?
- 38:28Speaker 1: Where on my left ring finger? I appreciate that question.
- 38:31Speaker 1: I love that you guys are interested in and me
- 38:33Speaker 1: and my girlfriend's life. Um, I don't think I'm the
- 38:37Speaker 1: one that can answer this question for you guys, though.
- 38:39Speaker 1: I think it's it's she's the one that has to
- 38:41Speaker 1: answer that. She said that she couldn't answer it. She
- 38:43Speaker 1: said she wasn't allowed. I'm not allowed to answer this.
- 38:46Speaker 1: I think she's the one that's it's the problem. With
- 38:49Speaker 1: this whole thing right now? Is I get what Dean's doing.
- 38:54Speaker 1: He's he's a very smart man. He is. He knows
- 38:59Speaker 1: what he's setting us up for here. Because they will
- 39:01Speaker 1: never do a interview together. She's gonna blame it on him.
- 39:05Speaker 1: He's gonna blame on her, and they will never get
- 39:06Speaker 1: him the same dark room to ask him both at
- 39:09Speaker 1: the same time to say what did she really say that?
- 39:12Speaker 1: She was, Okay, So you guys are creating it so
- 39:14Speaker 1: that there's always a mystery or under a relationship and
- 39:16Speaker 1: that people never stop talking about. That's crazy that she
- 39:18Speaker 1: said that. I was allowed to answer because she's the
- 39:19Speaker 1: one that has the answer to it. It's like, are
- 39:23Speaker 1: you engaged? Are you like wearing the man engage and ring?
- 39:26Speaker 1: Listen again. I really appreciate you guys being interested in this,
- 39:29Speaker 1: but I can't answer it. She was, she's gonna get
- 39:31Speaker 1: upset with her. We're moving on here, Dean. We've been
- 39:35Speaker 1: up here asking about relationships, Kaylin. I'll just give it
- 39:38Speaker 1: a hint. She explained your relationship as something that she's
- 39:40Speaker 1: learned so much from you on She's talked about that
- 39:43Speaker 1: she could travel the world with you. I think she
- 39:45Speaker 1: said forever or a long time, never get tired of him,
- 39:48Speaker 1: and never get tired of you. Dean. We asked her
- 39:50Speaker 1: a question that I don't think she has a great
- 39:52Speaker 1: answer too, because I don't think she's the one that
- 39:54Speaker 1: can answer it. Dean, what have you learned from Kalin?
- 39:59Speaker 1: What have I learned from Kalin? And she didn't want
- 40:01Speaker 1: to self describe Ben, I get it. I'm glad she
- 40:04Speaker 1: did it. Oh did you ask Klein what I learned
- 40:06Speaker 1: from her? Like? She yeah, yeah, Um, what have I
- 40:10Speaker 1: learned from Calin? I think I've learned that it's totally
- 40:13Speaker 1: okay to be exactly the person that you want to
- 40:15Speaker 1: be because She's someone that celebrates the weird quirkiness that
- 40:18Speaker 1: I have consistently possessed, and I feel like in past
- 40:21Speaker 1: relationships I've always kind of hit that a little bit.
- 40:23Speaker 1: But with Klin, both of us, in my opinion, are
- 40:26Speaker 1: able to be super super goofy all the time, and uh,
- 40:30Speaker 1: for the first time in a relationship for me, I've
- 40:32Speaker 1: been able to like it's like celebrated, you know what
- 40:34Speaker 1: I mean, Because I've always been like a really weird guy,
- 40:36Speaker 1: at least self described as one. But in relationships I
- 40:38Speaker 1: feel like I always had as I had like certain
- 40:40Speaker 1: parts of me. Uh, and then this one, I feel
- 40:41Speaker 1: like I don't have to So that's uh, That's what
- 40:45Speaker 1: I've learned from her, that I can be exactly who
- 40:47Speaker 1: I am and not have to worry about being judged
- 40:49Speaker 1: or criticized. Why is it when people bring up the
- 40:54Speaker 1: longevity of a relationship you get so weary or like
- 40:56Speaker 1: awkward or unsure, like I feel like you're never the
- 40:59Speaker 1: guy that was like wants to say that he can
- 41:02Speaker 1: see himself with so and so, and look at him
- 41:04Speaker 1: getting awkward and like a decade what do you mean?
- 41:07Speaker 1: I don't understand the question. I feel like you always
- 41:09Speaker 1: get like I feel like you'll never be able to
- 41:12Speaker 1: Will you ever be comfortable saying that you're down to
- 41:14Speaker 1: commit to somebody for a lifetime? Um, I mean, let's
- 41:18Speaker 1: be honest, a lifetime. That's there's a lot of variables
- 41:20Speaker 1: that go into what a life like? Are you a
- 41:21Speaker 1: guy that sees himself married? See like, look at the
- 41:24Speaker 1: way he spends every question. I'm just saying that who
- 41:27Speaker 1: are we to say what the rest of our lives
- 41:28Speaker 1: are gonna look like? Let's phrase this question in a
- 41:31Speaker 1: dean one please. We spoke with Dean a few months
- 41:34Speaker 1: ago and he said something that's stuck with me that
- 41:36Speaker 1: I'm very happy about because I do love this man,
- 41:39Speaker 1: he said, and I don't want to put words in
- 41:41Speaker 1: your mouthter Dean, please correct me. Is that he has
- 41:45Speaker 1: envisioned longer lasting relationships more now than he probably did
- 41:50Speaker 1: two years ago, three years ago, that the progression of
- 41:53Speaker 1: his romantic life has increased to where it's opened his
- 41:56Speaker 1: eyes up to new possibilities that three years ago you
- 41:58Speaker 1: never thought you would feel in his That's thing you
- 42:00Speaker 1: learned because of the Bachelor experience. Um, it's hard to
- 42:03Speaker 1: say no to that, because everything that's happened after the
- 42:05Speaker 1: Bachelor experience was because of the Bachelor experience in a way,
- 42:08Speaker 1: you know what I mean, You can always trace it
- 42:09Speaker 1: back to being on the Bachelor. I think that the
- 42:12Speaker 1: biggest thing that's changed in my life has just been, Uh,
- 42:16Speaker 1: I love myself a lot more than I used to.
- 42:18Speaker 1: And you always hear like these you know, these hippie
- 42:19Speaker 1: dippie self love type stuff. But the Dean from two
- 42:22Speaker 1: years ago that was fresh off of the first Bachelor
- 42:24Speaker 1: in Paradise was like super anxious all the time. Insecure, etcetera.
- 42:28Speaker 1: And now I still am like working on myself, of course,
- 42:31Speaker 1: but I like the things that I'm doing now a
- 42:33Speaker 1: lot more than I was doing then, which was like
- 42:35Speaker 1: back then, I was like going to bars with my
- 42:37Speaker 1: friends and getting drunk. But now I'm like doing the
- 42:38Speaker 1: things that I want to, like going out and exploring
- 42:40Speaker 1: nature and taking pictures and scott having and rock climbing
- 42:42Speaker 1: and skiing all that kind of stuff. So I think
- 42:44Speaker 1: that because of The Bachelor, I've been able to do
- 42:46Speaker 1: those things, and because of those things, I am the
- 42:48Speaker 1: person that I am now. When because I'm sorry to
- 42:51Speaker 1: tie this off back into the original question, because I
- 42:54Speaker 1: feel like I'm a lot more comfortable with who I
- 42:56Speaker 1: am now. The longevity of relationships or all that kind
- 42:59Speaker 1: of stuff seems to fit in my life a lot more.
- 43:02Speaker 1: It makes a lot more sense for me, now, you
- 43:04Speaker 1: know what I mean. How does Klin fit into that? Then? She?
- 43:08Speaker 1: What do you mean in terms of like the things
- 43:10Speaker 1: that I'm interested in doing? Like, so your life has changed.
- 43:12Speaker 1: You're exploring, which exploration typically is a pretty isolating event,
- 43:16Speaker 1: which is great. It's a it's a good thing. But
- 43:18Speaker 1: there's adventures there. Skydiving, these these things are happening just
- 43:21Speaker 1: for anybody out there listening, Like, we see you on
- 43:24Speaker 1: the road, we see you doing amazing things. But how
- 43:26Speaker 1: does Kaylin now fit into that? And is it This
- 43:30Speaker 1: is gonna be a pretty harsh, aggressive question, but because
- 43:33Speaker 1: I don't know what anybody is it Like, do you
- 43:38Speaker 1: like having her there? Because those are fun things to
- 43:42Speaker 1: do alone? Do you like having Klin at these adventures? Uh?
- 43:46Speaker 1: There are times where I will purposefully plan a trip
- 43:49Speaker 1: by myself because I sometimes I like to use that
- 43:51Speaker 1: time to like decompress and unwind and explore myself a
- 43:54Speaker 1: little bit. But the great great thing about her is
- 43:56Speaker 1: she is curious. She is still learning a lot about
- 43:59Speaker 1: herself while I continue to learn about myself, and so
- 44:01Speaker 1: she's open to basically anything, right, Like, so say I'm
- 44:05Speaker 1: I want to go travel to this weird place, You'd
- 44:07Speaker 1: be like, dude, I want to come with you. That
- 44:08Speaker 1: sounds awesome. A lot of people aren't that way, And
- 44:10Speaker 1: so it's great about like her. The mode that she's
- 44:13Speaker 1: in now as a self discovery mode, which means she's like,
- 44:16Speaker 1: I'm game for anything. For the most part, I've tried
- 44:18Speaker 1: to get her to skydive she doesn't skydive, but um,
- 44:21Speaker 1: but yeah, she's been super supportive a lot, right, And
- 44:23Speaker 1: you're right, it is a weird thing, Like how does
- 44:24Speaker 1: that fit in? Because you and I have talked about
- 44:26Speaker 1: like traveling to South America and stuff and how you
- 44:28Speaker 1: did the Inca Trail and how isolated that was, but
- 44:31Speaker 1: you like grew from it and learned from it and
- 44:32Speaker 1: some things you have to do alone. But sometimes it's
- 44:34Speaker 1: nice to have like a partner with you to experience
- 44:36Speaker 1: us together. That's great. I'm learning about myself and we'll
- 44:38Speaker 1: talk about that later in the podcast. But I get
- 44:40Speaker 1: where you're coming from. Being in a cabin with you guys.
- 44:43Speaker 1: The three of us together reminds me of Winter Games.
- 44:47Speaker 1: You're ex Leslie got engaged this week. Any words, Congratulations
- 44:51Speaker 1: And I know it's the only word I've got. I
- 44:54Speaker 1: think that's a great word. What else you gonna say? Uh, Dean,
- 44:58Speaker 1: We've been playing a game with our guests. Um, it's
- 45:01Speaker 1: been great. Actually, I've had a terrific time doing it.
- 45:05Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you one question here and uh, and
- 45:07Speaker 1: then Ashley will take over a game that we call
- 45:09Speaker 1: Kinky Truth or Dare. My game is just a question
- 45:13Speaker 1: about your partner. So answer this about Caitlin. What is
- 45:17Speaker 1: her favorite purchase that she's made this year? Well, her
- 45:20Speaker 1: name is Caitlin, first and foremost. Did I say Caitlin?
- 45:23Speaker 1: I think I met Caitlin did. Yeah, it's a it's
- 45:26Speaker 1: a pretty it's it's a strange name. The favorite purchase
- 45:29Speaker 1: that she's made, Yeah, she's made this year. That's a
- 45:32Speaker 1: really difficult question. The year is young. So let me
- 45:35Speaker 1: just think back a couple of months. Uh, as you
- 45:38Speaker 1: think about this, Ashley is going to reach into our
- 45:40Speaker 1: kinky truth or dare and just pulling out, actually hold
- 45:42Speaker 1: onto that until Dean answers, is the clean one? There's cleaner? Yeah,
- 45:47Speaker 1: we've pulled out those ones in here. Man, her favorite
- 45:51Speaker 1: thing that she's purchased. I want to say, I'm gonna
- 45:54Speaker 1: go a little bit before. I'm gonna say a plane
- 45:56Speaker 1: ticket to Europe to spend time with me while I recovered.
- 45:59Speaker 1: That's awesome. Uh. I don't want to speak for her.
- 46:01Speaker 1: I don't want to put words in her mouth, but
- 46:03Speaker 1: I know that she really wanted to be there for me,
- 46:05Speaker 1: and I think that that's really like the only big
- 46:07Speaker 1: purchase that she's made that I can think of in
- 46:10Speaker 1: the past couple of months. I remember the last time
- 46:12Speaker 1: we asked a question like that at the I Heart Festival.
- 46:15Speaker 1: That was the thing that she said about you. It
- 46:17Speaker 1: was like that you guys had supports on airline tickets. Yeah,
- 46:19Speaker 1: that's kind of our thing is we like to travel together,
- 46:22Speaker 1: you know, and hopefully we can continue that. I do
- 46:24Speaker 1: say as a friend that was let's give an ode
- 46:27Speaker 1: to Kalin. Here is when you got hurt. That was
- 46:31Speaker 1: a very big topic around kind of felt like everywhere
- 46:37Speaker 1: and she has can we just can I speak for you?
- 46:41Speaker 1: Or how has she been as your nurse? It was
- 46:43Speaker 1: so cute to see her just like jet off the
- 46:46Speaker 1: next day or two. I mean, not to discredit her,
- 46:48Speaker 1: she was already kind of planning on coming to Europe.
- 46:50Speaker 1: But listen, don't get me wrong. The fact that she's
- 46:52Speaker 1: stuck with me in Europe throughout the entire thing and
- 46:54Speaker 1: like changed your plans. I when I got back from that,
- 46:58Speaker 1: when I arrived back in America through except my accident,
- 47:01Speaker 1: I was re reflecting on it a little bit and
- 47:03Speaker 1: I was like, that experience really really sucked, but it
- 47:05Speaker 1: sucked a lot less because Kitlin was with me and
- 47:08Speaker 1: I was trying to imagine going through all that without
- 47:10Speaker 1: having her by my side to you know, do like
- 47:12Speaker 1: ridiculous things like basically helped me put my socks on,
- 47:14Speaker 1: help me get out of bed so I could walk
- 47:15Speaker 1: over to the bathroom, like that kind of ridiculous stuff. Uh,
- 47:18Speaker 1: like the really really non glamorous stuff. And she definitely
- 47:21Speaker 1: made that whole experience a lot less miserable than it
- 47:23Speaker 1: could have been. So that's cool. And that's when you
- 47:26Speaker 1: decided to wear a ring. Sure, what's the kicky truth day?
- 47:32Speaker 1: Let's get that. Have you ever caught yourself turned on
- 47:36Speaker 1: by something completely inappropriate? Absolutely? Yeah, it was an example. Uh,
- 47:44Speaker 1: I can't think of a specific example, but any boy
- 47:46Speaker 1: that answers that question saying no is lying to a
- 47:50Speaker 1: gust of winds. There's a time in my life that
- 47:55Speaker 1: my one of my best friends, he was my offensive line.
- 47:58Speaker 1: He was the sinner when I was. When I was
- 48:01Speaker 1: when I was in high school and one football prize
- 48:03Speaker 1: goes dude, high school stucks? Was like why he goes?
- 48:05Speaker 1: There's just moments you just want to hump a wall.
- 48:09Speaker 1: When I was when I was nineteen or twenty year
- 48:11Speaker 1: like right around that age, I was working as a
- 48:12Speaker 1: bellhop at a hotel and Aspen, and I was, you know,
- 48:15Speaker 1: it's like a slow time of the season. So I
- 48:16Speaker 1: was like reading a book at the bell hoop stand
- 48:18Speaker 1: and I was reading this book and there was like
- 48:19Speaker 1: something happening in the book. I was like, wow, this
- 48:21Speaker 1: is getting hot. And I swear I was just standing
- 48:23Speaker 1: there and like things started happening to me, like down below.
- 48:26Speaker 1: And the thing is, I'm wearing like a bellhop uniform,
- 48:29Speaker 1: like slacks, tucked in shirt, so you can see everything
- 48:31Speaker 1: that's happening. And like a car pulls up and I'm like,
- 48:33Speaker 1: what am I spent? Like I can't go help them
- 48:35Speaker 1: right now like that, you know, So it definitely happens.
- 48:38Speaker 1: And and that's a great question. I love that. I
- 48:40Speaker 1: think anybody out there listening to oh I just said yeah,
- 48:43Speaker 1: just like I mean, I think anything like any boy
- 48:45Speaker 1: that doesn't say yeah, Like there's been moments in your
- 48:48Speaker 1: life you're like, I hope nobody ever finds out what
- 48:50Speaker 1: my mind is thinking, because this it feels weird for
- 48:53Speaker 1: me and you. There's a tree over there that was
- 48:55Speaker 1: looking good for whatever reason, and something happened. It's messed up.
- 48:59Speaker 1: That's a great question, and as I think I will say,
- 49:01Speaker 1: I'll admit, like in the nineties, like I feel like
- 49:04Speaker 1: I was oddly turned on by like a cartoon or
- 49:07Speaker 1: to sure. Okay, actually you're not weird. Anybody out there
- 49:11Speaker 1: listening Sorry sorry, yeah yeah, an even out there listening

- 50:49Speaker 1: All right, Justica Clark is in the room. You guys
- 50:55Speaker 1: are so cute, Like the love is so fresh, and
- 50:59Speaker 1: like you look at each other so adoringly. Still, when
- 51:03Speaker 1: do you think that will go away? I hope never,
- 51:06Speaker 1: That's what we all actually. When do you think it's
- 51:08Speaker 1: gonna go away? Probably soon? No, I think that because
- 51:12Speaker 1: Jared and I got engaged so fast that, like, I
- 51:14Speaker 1: think our honeymoon phase is over fast. Also because we
- 51:17Speaker 1: knew each other for three years before we were together.
- 51:20Speaker 1: I think our honeymoon phase left a little quicker than normal, because, like,
- 51:26Speaker 1: how do you keep a spark when you've known somebody
- 51:28Speaker 1: for so long. I mean, you do you find ways.
- 51:31Speaker 1: But like the look that you guys have, I agree,
- 51:34Speaker 1: do you ever actually think or wish that you would
- 51:38Speaker 1: have waited longer to get engaged? No, not married. I
- 51:43Speaker 1: think we could have waited to get engaged, like another
- 51:46Speaker 1: six months. I don't wish for it, but like we
- 51:48Speaker 1: could have done it for sure, But then I would
- 51:50Speaker 1: have kind of thrown off our wedding timing because you know,
- 51:53Speaker 1: you usually get engaged and then like you have a
- 51:56Speaker 1: year to play on your wedding. I think that's like
- 51:58Speaker 1: average these days. And if we had gotten engaged in December,
- 52:03Speaker 1: then we'd have to really turn around the summer wedding,
- 52:05Speaker 1: and I really wanted a summer wedding. Do you guys
- 52:07Speaker 1: know what season you want your future possible wedding to
- 52:09Speaker 1: be in? And like how often do we talk about marriage?
- 52:12Speaker 1: Like is that weird for me to bring up or
- 52:14Speaker 1: have you talked about have you talked about it? We
- 52:17Speaker 1: talked about it, um, So we'd have to get married
- 52:20Speaker 1: in a certain time frame because of my little brother.
- 52:24Speaker 1: Explain this is because he's a base player. He's a
- 52:26Speaker 1: baseball player, so he's only off November to February. Damn,
- 52:32Speaker 1: and he's got to be involved. I have two brothers.
- 52:34Speaker 1: That's a cold season. Yeah, well I wouldn't mind. Like Christmas,
- 52:38Speaker 1: I love Christmas. I was told this and I was like,
- 52:40Speaker 1: you're gonna be kidding me. We're playing this big day
- 52:43Speaker 1: around your little brother. And she's like, yep, it's important.
- 52:45Speaker 1: And I was like, all right, and I'm not kidding.
- 52:47Speaker 1: As soon as Jessica and I start to get really
- 52:49Speaker 1: serious and her family, you know, started to understand that,
- 52:52Speaker 1: like this was a long term thing. I was laughing
- 52:55Speaker 1: because I got multiple text from multiple people and her
- 52:57Speaker 1: family going, you know, there's a tight time for you
- 53:00Speaker 1: guys to get married. Well, you're only child, you don't
- 53:04Speaker 1: people have brothers, so it's like your brothers, they're vital.
- 53:08Speaker 1: Philip Philip Phillips all about Philip, but it is Phillips World,
- 53:13Speaker 1: not too far into the future. But how long do
- 53:16Speaker 1: you guys think people should be engaged for? Like what's
- 53:21Speaker 1: an ideal engagement amount of time? Now that we're talking about,
- 53:23Speaker 1: you know, weddings, I've heard six months. So there's multiple
- 53:28Speaker 1: camps on this. Some people said that you should use
- 53:30Speaker 1: the engagement period as the wedding planning period, you shouldn't
- 53:35Speaker 1: stay in it very long because if you get into
- 53:39Speaker 1: it long and you're not planning a wedding, and then
- 53:40Speaker 1: you can be in limbo for a while. Yea, I
- 53:43Speaker 1: have a different feeling than six months, mostly because I
- 53:47Speaker 1: think as soon as you engage, you should start planning
- 53:49Speaker 1: the wedding. But I also think that we, like so
- 53:54Speaker 1: many people stress themselves out because their wedding is four
- 53:59Speaker 1: months away. Three months it too much. That's what I
- 54:00Speaker 1: just said, Like you need, I feel like you need
- 54:02Speaker 1: a hear you need. You should start planning it, but
- 54:04Speaker 1: you should pick the place you want, the time you want,
- 54:07Speaker 1: the location you want. You should start prepping so that
- 54:09Speaker 1: it's not like three months of just stress and like chaos.
- 54:13Speaker 1: You start prepping right away, but you give yourself the
- 54:16Speaker 1: time to enjoy it, like it's a fun time and
- 54:18Speaker 1: you're never gonna get that time back, so why just
- 54:20Speaker 1: jump into that next season? Like enjoy being asked about
- 54:24Speaker 1: your wedding, Enjoy being like the still the couple that's engaged,
- 54:29Speaker 1: and like people want to know about like your friends
- 54:31Speaker 1: and your family. You're engaged, when's the wedding? When are
- 54:33Speaker 1: the like what's it gonna be like? Because actually you're
- 54:37Speaker 1: married now, I imagine that it's a whole new type
- 54:40Speaker 1: of exciting. But there is a drop off a little
- 54:43Speaker 1: bit from that like engagement period. So we found the
- 54:46Speaker 1: honeymoon was great for the drop off to avoid the
- 54:49Speaker 1: drop off because we went straight to the honeymoon and
- 54:52Speaker 1: then we kind of like took a month to do
- 54:55Speaker 1: very little work and we kind of eased our way
- 54:58Speaker 1: out of it. That was the best way of like
- 55:01Speaker 1: not having that holy moly, it's over now what feeling?
- 55:05Speaker 1: But it can happen everybody. A lot of people talk about.
- 55:08Speaker 1: I think it's also not putting too much pressure on
- 55:10Speaker 1: the wedding, and like, I think I've been to enough
- 55:13Speaker 1: weddings and been in enough fittings that I've realized that
- 55:15Speaker 1: the wedding is for the people that attend and like
- 55:19Speaker 1: you as a couple don't even really hardly remember it
- 55:21Speaker 1: from what a lot of people have. But don't do that.
- 55:24Speaker 1: Don't do that, because I heard a lot of people
- 55:26Speaker 1: say that too. But Jared and I feel completely different. Really,
- 55:29Speaker 1: we feel like we were completely engaged with each other
- 55:33Speaker 1: the entire day, like we made it about us and
- 55:35Speaker 1: not the other people. And that's what we that's the
- 55:38Speaker 1: advice that we give to people. Were like, your guests
- 55:40Speaker 1: are great, show love to your guests, but like, don't
- 55:44Speaker 1: sit there for five minutes with each person, like a
- 55:47Speaker 1: quick hello is fine. Spend that time with each other. Yeah,
- 55:51Speaker 1: I get that well in the cool part for Jesse
- 55:53Speaker 1: and I and it will last us longer this honeymoon
- 55:56Speaker 1: or like this super like fun exciting period. I hope
- 55:58Speaker 1: it lasts forever. I do. I know it's a wishful
- 56:01Speaker 1: thing because you are distance. I was going to say,
- 56:03Speaker 1: a huge piece of this is we're long distance, and
- 56:05Speaker 1: it's been amazing, blessing. There's been moments that it's terrible,
- 56:09Speaker 1: like when I'm doing something really fun or she's doing
- 56:11Speaker 1: something really fun and we want to be together for it.
- 56:13Speaker 1: Like there's moments like dang it, I wish I wish
- 56:15Speaker 1: it was easier. But for the most part, there is
- 56:17Speaker 1: something that I don't take for granted. By walking around
- 56:20Speaker 1: the corner when I haven't seen Jess in two weeks
- 56:23Speaker 1: and she shows up and she's there, and I'm like,
- 56:25Speaker 1: you've like it's just like this excitement and like I
- 56:30Speaker 1: am enjoying this period too, Like even a couple of
- 56:33Speaker 1: days ago, I was practicing for Bachelor Live on stage
- 56:37Speaker 1: and I heard that Jess was in my dressing room.
- 56:40Speaker 1: And I walked outside of stage and walked back to
- 56:42Speaker 1: my dress room, and there she was right when I
- 56:44Speaker 1: opened up the door, and I was like, my heart sank,
- 56:46Speaker 1: Like I was just like yeah, like you know, and
- 56:49Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't ever want to take this away, Like,
- 56:51Speaker 1: and I know when you spend day after day, like
- 56:53Speaker 1: you were just saying with Jared, you wake up morning
- 56:55Speaker 1: after morning, you sit there night after night. Once you
- 56:57Speaker 1: got to do all these things together, I know that
- 56:59Speaker 1: leaves has to Yeah, and I this is advice that
- 57:03Speaker 1: I always tell couples that don't live together. So we didn't.
- 57:06Speaker 1: I was not down to live together until we were engaged.
- 57:08Speaker 1: But we were all in together for six months or
- 57:10Speaker 1: not even by the time we got engaged. We get
- 57:14Speaker 1: by the time we moved in. I think we were
- 57:15Speaker 1: together for four and some months. Um. But what I
- 57:19Speaker 1: missed so much is that period where we didn't live
- 57:21Speaker 1: together and I'd hear his steps walking up to my
- 57:25Speaker 1: door and my heart would sink every time, and it's
- 57:27Speaker 1: so fun. And then you like light candles, and you
- 57:30Speaker 1: make dinner, and you shower beforehand and you put makeup on.
- 57:35Speaker 1: Just like that extra effort where you feel like you're
- 57:37Speaker 1: really dating that goes away when you live together because
- 57:40Speaker 1: it's not a novelty to see them, but it also
- 57:43Speaker 1: like takes next your effort. Like I feel like you
- 57:46Speaker 1: could recreate it everyone. I do recreate it every once
- 57:49Speaker 1: at all. Yes, it just you have to put in
- 57:51Speaker 1: the effort, so it's not the same like feeling of
- 57:53Speaker 1: like your heart drops to your toes and you deal,
- 57:56Speaker 1: but you can still. It just is a whole different
- 57:59Speaker 1: way of me in the relationship. I guess yeah. But
- 58:01Speaker 1: I have friends who have done long distance all through
- 58:03Speaker 1: dating and then they get married and they're like, it's
- 58:05Speaker 1: actually awesome to be sitting on the couch and look
- 58:07Speaker 1: and they're there instead of y'all being however many miles
- 58:10Speaker 1: apart when you get to a certain point, I'm just
- 58:12Speaker 1: totally sure, but it does go away, all right. Well,
- 58:15Speaker 1: I picked a pop popsicle stick before you came up here, Jas,
- 58:18Speaker 1: and the question was, when did you know that you're
- 58:23Speaker 1: really into Ben? What was the moment? I think, well,
- 58:29Speaker 1: after our first phone call, I hung up the phone,
- 58:32Speaker 1: and I was at my parents house and I looked
- 58:35Speaker 1: at my brother and I was like, I'm either going
- 58:37Speaker 1: to date this guy or never ever meet this guy.
- 58:40Speaker 1: And like I kind of knew even though when we
- 58:42Speaker 1: hung up the first time and then was like, I'll
- 58:44Speaker 1: get a good friend out of this at least, and
- 58:46Speaker 1: I was like, Bill might not never hear from that's
- 58:48Speaker 1: what you said to her. I was like, well, I
- 58:49Speaker 1: first thing comes to worst, like it's really nice talking
- 58:51Speaker 1: to you. If if all fails, I'll get a good
- 58:54Speaker 1: friend out of it, Oh my goodness. But I will
- 58:56Speaker 1: say the time where I was like I'm in big
- 58:58Speaker 1: trouble was after first day together. We were talking about
- 59:01Speaker 1: this today. Um, we he hadn't event that morning and
- 59:05Speaker 1: so we didn't really get that much time together. And
- 59:07Speaker 1: then we went to a late lunch that lasted three
- 59:09Speaker 1: hours at this restaurant in Evergreen, Colorado. We we went
- 59:14Speaker 1: there for our one year too. But um, after I
- 59:17Speaker 1: left that lunch and just the idea like there's this
- 59:21Speaker 1: feeling if I could tell him anything and he wouldn't
- 59:23Speaker 1: judge me, and I never really had that with a
- 59:25Speaker 1: guy before. And like we just sat and talked and
- 59:27Speaker 1: talked and talked. I think I left that lunch and
- 59:29Speaker 1: I was like, oh no. And then I remember climb
- 59:32Speaker 1: my mom from the airport, flying home from Denver after
- 59:34Speaker 1: the first time, and being like, he's my boyfriend, and um,
- 59:38Speaker 1: I don't think we'll ever break up. Oh my god,
- 59:42Speaker 1: is so freaking cute. Did you say you're my girlfriend
- 59:46Speaker 1: when you dropped her off there? I don't think I've
- 59:47Speaker 1: ever said this yet, so h No. Before that, we
- 59:50Speaker 1: hadn't talked on the phone and FaceTime for three weeks.
- 59:53Speaker 1: She showed up to my house and she was your
- 59:57Speaker 1: girlfriend before you kissed. No. I opened up the door
- 59:59Speaker 1: and there she was. I walked out and I kissed
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: her right away. She comes inside, she saits on my
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: couch with me and relying on my couch just kind
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: of talking and catching up and like just kind of
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: holding each other. And I was like, you know, just
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: like I would love for you to just be my girlfriend.
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: And that was like and at the time I just
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: knew it, like it's weird. I've said this in the
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: podcast before, but my dad once when I asked him, like,
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: how do you know when you found the one, He's like,
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: he's like, I don't know if you can explain it
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: you when you know, you know, like it's a feeling,
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: it's a this emotion, it's a commitment. It's looking across
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: the table at somebody and going through your ups and downs,
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: through your failures and faults, like I just know I
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: want to be beside you. And it was like that
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: first moment, and really weeks leading up to that, over
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: the phone with her, that I was like, this girl
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: just has something about her that I wanna always support,
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: Like she just has a purity of soul, a purity
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: of heart, a desire to love people, a desire to
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: love me, support me that, like, why would I ever
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: want to give that up? Would you say I love
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: you first? I said it first. I thought he was
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: going to say it first. So I kept waiting and waiting,
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: and I told everyone else except for him that I
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: was in love with him, And then it was. He
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: was in Nashville for his thirtieth birthday and my brother's
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: twenty first birthday. Philip again, we did a Twain party.
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: We had a joint party. We did a joint party
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: for Philip and myself because we're birthdays are like a
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: day apart and at one point this year, Phillips like,
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: did you ever you came to my birthday party? Right?
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: And I was like, cool, Philip, that was a joint
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: birthday party for anyways. But um, we were staying at
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: my parents house that weekend. Been was staying in Philips
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: room and I was staying in my old bedroom. And
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: we were saying good night, and we kissed good night,
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: and I was like, I gotta tell you something. He
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: was like, what you's so scared? I was like, I
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: love you and knows it nice? I love you too. Yeah,
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: so cute. There we go. And now we sit here today,
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: Um Ashley, we play. Let's play the one card game
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: with Jess before you send you back off. Jess, it's
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: been nice having you up here. You're a good guest.
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: Thanks for having me. Okay, you're going to answer the
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: question for each other, like I'm going to ask you
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: the question, Jess, and then you're going to be like
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: Ben would say this, Okay, if Ben could have an
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: unlimited supply of one thing for the rest of his life,
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: excluding money, what would it be exactly? What? This is
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: such an easy question? Is it like any category anything
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: other than money? Um? Burbon No, yeah, massages. Oh well,
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: is that why you're such a good masseuse? Oh yeah,
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: it's because I love them so much and I will
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: take them. This is something that Jess and I have
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: had to work through in our relationship. I would take
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: a massa massage from anyone if they're willing to. And
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: it's like, there's nothing I was gonna say, Is it
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: weird if I asked him for a massage? Because it is. No,
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: it's not. This is the thing. So I don't act
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: like massages like I don't enjoy them. Oh my god. Yes,
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: you're with Ben, the best missus I've ever had, including professionals,
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: and you don't want to be touched by him like
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: a massage? Why not? I just don't like. I mean,
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: if Ben did, I wouldn't care. But I'm not going
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: to advantage she doesn't desire, so why would I like
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: it's not something that she wants from me. Yeah, I
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: know he likes it, and so like my thing is,
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: I'll always get you a massage, like always, because I
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: know how much you love it, and so that's like
- 1:03:31Speaker 1: my go to gift for him as a massage. Do
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: you give it to him or do you book one?
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: For him, I usually book it since we do distance,
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: but if we're together, I'll rab your neck, my neck.

- 1:03:55Speaker 1: ask at the studio and just like grabbing your shoulders
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: and like rubbing your neck, like because my granddad that
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: was his thing. My granddad, he was a car dealer,
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: but like I always noticed how with people, his friends
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: and his family, he would always come up to you
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: and you would just grab your neck and your neck
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: and say how are you doing? And you just lightly
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: do it. And it was like something that stuck with
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: me and it was it's a very cool moment. I think, Um,
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: but she doesn't desire them. She's also so tiny that
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: like for me to get a massage, like I need deep,
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: like I need somebody like get in there. So she's
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: sweet and she buys me them. Um, I would say

- 1:04:40Speaker 1: care of her skin. Yeah. Well, I had a really
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: bad acne for a long period of girl. Me too,

- 1:04:47Speaker 1: so bad. I don't want to go back. And now
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: it's like kind of fascinates me that like what you
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: can do to help better it and actually seeing visible results.
