- 0:18Speaker 1: I are back in studio together, and actually, let me
- 0:21Speaker 1: tell you, it's good to be back. It is going
- 0:23Speaker 1: to be back. It feels like it's actually been forever
- 0:25Speaker 1: since we've been in a studio together. I guess it's
- 0:28Speaker 1: been since the iHeart Festival. Um, how was your trip
- 0:31Speaker 1: to Honduras. Yeah, so one of the reasons that we
- 0:35Speaker 1: were gone, that we were apart was because I was
- 0:37Speaker 1: in Honduras and then you had done some traveling with
- 0:39Speaker 1: Jared kind of post wedding, and so there has been
- 0:41Speaker 1: a lot going on. I got back last week from
- 0:44Speaker 1: Honduras and it was awesome. Um, it was a really
- 0:47Speaker 1: incredible trip. Uh. The first week that I was down there,
- 0:50Speaker 1: I led a trip of thirty people with Humani Hope
- 0:53Speaker 1: United and Jessica, my girlfriend and her mom were able
- 0:57Speaker 1: to come and that was her mom's first trip, Jessica second,
- 0:59Speaker 1: and my parents through there as well. And so we
- 1:02Speaker 1: went down there and I promised the group that I
- 1:04Speaker 1: give a shout out on Almost Famous podcast because I
- 1:06Speaker 1: bet I'm not kidding this. Uh. Of the people that
- 1:09Speaker 1: went on that trip are almost Famous fans. So one
- 1:14Speaker 1: of our one of our mutual friends that used to
- 1:15Speaker 1: work on the show, one of her co workers, uh,
- 1:18Speaker 1: was down there with us named Chili. And then, um,
- 1:20Speaker 1: there's just I mean literally everybody there was an almost
- 1:23Speaker 1: famous fan and everybody was super cool about it. They
- 1:25Speaker 1: would randomly kind of come up and be like, Hey,
- 1:27Speaker 1: I'm a fan. Is that weird? Like that's amazing, and
- 1:29Speaker 1: they would say they heard through about Humane and Hope
- 1:31Speaker 1: United through the podcast, which kind of reinforced like that
- 1:36Speaker 1: this is a good thing too because it's bringing people
- 1:38Speaker 1: to a whole new area of the world. Uh. And
- 1:41Speaker 1: then I stayed down there for a week. When to Rhatan, Honduras,
- 1:43Speaker 1: which is one of the craziest places. It's amazing, it's beautiful,
- 1:45Speaker 1: it's it's a Caribbean island right off the coast that's
- 1:48Speaker 1: kind of untouched. My parents and I went and did that,
- 1:50Speaker 1: and then I came back and we had a board trip. Um.
- 1:52Speaker 1: So I was down there for almost a whole month. Actually,
- 1:55Speaker 1: I've got to tell you this, and this is gonna
- 1:57Speaker 1: sound like an ad and it's not. Okay, what did
- 2:01Speaker 1: you know? Okay, this could be me being crazy, but
- 2:04Speaker 1: I need to talk to our listeners and you about
- 2:07Speaker 1: some something adulting. I really have worked hard to be
- 2:10Speaker 1: a decent adult. Like at a young age, I was
- 2:13Speaker 1: trying to prep myself to be a decent adult. I
- 2:15Speaker 1: found out something recently on my trip to Honduras that's
- 2:18Speaker 1: really crazy. First off, so I bring and in Easton
- 2:22Speaker 1: will love this. I bring my Capital and Venture Card
- 2:24Speaker 1: with me to Honduras. You can pay for you know,
- 2:28Speaker 1: you can pay for things when you're Honduras. It's easier,
- 2:30Speaker 1: you know. It does all that stuff for me. But
- 2:32Speaker 1: when I get there, I come back home right and
- 2:34Speaker 1: I'm getting ready to travel again. I'm actually we're in
- 2:36Speaker 1: l A right now, and I find out that the
- 2:40Speaker 1: points this is, this really doesn't like an addict. It's
- 2:43Speaker 1: not the points that you can use on a credit card.
- 2:46Speaker 1: It's an incredible process. Like I don't know if if
- 2:49Speaker 1: you've had this experience yet, and if you haven't, I
- 2:51Speaker 1: recommend you do it. But all of a sudden, for you,
- 2:54Speaker 1: Eastern's holding up his capital and card. Now all of
- 2:56Speaker 1: a sudden you hold like all of a sudden, you
- 3:00Speaker 1: get onto your like app and you swipe and then
- 3:03Speaker 1: all of these like new gifts come to you. For
- 3:06Speaker 1: years and years of purchasing things and you had no
- 3:08Speaker 1: idea they were there. I didn't have any idea they're there.
- 3:10Speaker 1: I had to have a friend walked through this with
- 3:12Speaker 1: me on the plane. But if you haven't had this yet,
- 3:14Speaker 1: go find out how you can redeem your point. You
- 3:16Speaker 1: have to show me on have the apply an ad
- 3:21Speaker 1: once again, it's the most organic ad ever if we
- 3:23Speaker 1: if it was okay, I will watch out for that.
- 3:27Speaker 1: I do have these special Amazon points that I get
- 3:29Speaker 1: from my American Express card, so that means like every
- 3:32Speaker 1: month my Amazon account gets like a hundred dollars filled in,
- 3:37Speaker 1: So every basically I never pay for anything on Amazon
- 3:40Speaker 1: because I always use my hundred dollars. So it's like
- 3:42Speaker 1: I used spent a hundred dollars a month on Amazon.
- 3:43Speaker 1: This is one of the like is it was me actually?
- 3:46Speaker 1: Or listeners, go and redeem your credit card points. But
- 3:49Speaker 1: this is like one of the coolest things about being
- 3:51Speaker 1: an adult, Like when you get on there and you
- 3:52Speaker 1: have a hundred dollars free for Amazon. When I get
- 3:55Speaker 1: on there and all of a sudden, I have like
- 3:56Speaker 1: free hotel stays because of my time. It like brings
- 3:59Speaker 1: a lot of joy. Yeah, it's a wild thing. I
- 4:02Speaker 1: don't know. I had to share because I learned this
- 4:04Speaker 1: on my trips from Ndara is coming home and I
- 4:06Speaker 1: was sitting there and I was like, I bet our
- 4:07Speaker 1: almost famous fans would relate with this, And I thought
- 4:10Speaker 1: we could talk it out as adults to say, is
- 4:12Speaker 1: this does this bring you as much joy as it
- 4:13Speaker 1: brings me? Yeah? You know you speaking about adulthood and
- 4:16Speaker 1: like the greatest parts of adulthood. I could like get
- 4:19Speaker 1: really deep right now for a minute if you want
- 4:21Speaker 1: to talk about like being an adult and like whether
- 4:24Speaker 1: it's more fun being a kid or whether it's more
- 4:26Speaker 1: fun being adult. In the nostalgia of it all, nostalgia
- 4:29Speaker 1: is like a really big part of my life. Like
- 4:31Speaker 1: I love nostalgia so much and things that you know,
- 4:34Speaker 1: just um, like zoom it to my face. That does
- 4:38Speaker 1: that make any sense? You guys? When I get over
- 4:40Speaker 1: flooded with nostalgia, I love it. But also sometimes you're
- 4:44Speaker 1: like do I want to go back to that or
- 4:46Speaker 1: do I look so fondly back at it? Because like
- 4:49Speaker 1: I went through it and it was great, but if
- 4:51Speaker 1: I was experiencing it now, it wouldn't be as great.
- 4:54Speaker 1: I'm saying this because I want to Jonas brother concerts
- 4:57Speaker 1: this weekend. And when you're there, you get like, wait,
- 5:02Speaker 1: I get waved with nostalgia and um, just memories, these
- 5:06Speaker 1: amazing memories that I had. And a lot of the
- 5:09Speaker 1: times like we'd be thinking like, oh, this isn't going well,
- 5:12Speaker 1: or like this, like this guy doesn't like me, you know,
- 5:15Speaker 1: back in like when I was nineteen or twenty. But
- 5:17Speaker 1: there's something fun about like the beautiful pain Does that
- 5:24Speaker 1: sound weird? The beautiful pain of what you have to clear,
- 5:27Speaker 1: Like well, I'm talking about like heartbreak right now specifically,
- 5:30Speaker 1: or like try for you, Yeah, like just in general,
- 5:33Speaker 1: do you feel like fun? There's a line in a
- 5:38Speaker 1: Jonas song and it really just says it better than
- 5:41Speaker 1: I could say it. It's um, the days that we
- 5:45Speaker 1: thought were the worst and seemed to glow now the
- 5:48Speaker 1: days that were the worst seemed to glow now. You
- 5:52Speaker 1: ever looked back on like your early adolescence, your twenties,
- 5:55Speaker 1: your early twenties, and you're like, oh man, I thought
- 5:58Speaker 1: that was a really street day. But now when I
- 5:59Speaker 1: look back on it, it was like kind of great,
- 6:02Speaker 1: I really do. Okay, you get it, and this is
- 6:04Speaker 1: very weird. Like so here here's my theory and so
- 6:09Speaker 1: each one of these like things like through life. So, um,
- 6:14Speaker 1: let's pause here for a second, take a break. Um,
- 6:18Speaker 1: we'll come back. I want to continue this conversation, but
- 6:20Speaker 1: after the break h action, I'm gonna break down some
- 6:22Speaker 1: things about adulting. And then later on the podcast we're
- 6:24Speaker 1: gonna have some amazing topics to talk about. We have
- 6:27Speaker 1: hot news with John Paul Jones, moving to l A.
- 6:30Speaker 1: We have Taylor Nolan single again. Vanessa Grimaldi is just
- 6:33Speaker 1: saying that Nick Vile was not supposed to propose, and
- 6:37Speaker 1: Colton and Rachel drama and much much more. Um, let's
- 6:40Speaker 1: take a break, comeback, and Ash and I would talk
- 6:41Speaker 1: about adulting forever and listening. This is what I like
- 6:45Speaker 1: about native products, specifically native deodorant. It is formulated without
- 6:50Speaker 1: aluminum parabins and talk. It's filled with ingredients found in nature,
- 6:54Speaker 1: such as coconut oil, shade, butter, and tappy oca starch.
- 6:58Speaker 1: And here's the thing, Ashley, you know I can get
- 7:00Speaker 1: behind this absolutely no animal testing, very behind it. And
- 7:04Speaker 1: as you guys know, I'm very particular as to what
- 7:06Speaker 1: I put on my skin. The number one thing I
- 7:08Speaker 1: like to avoid is harsh chemicals. And making the switch
- 7:11Speaker 1: to a natural deodorant does not mean having to sacrifice
- 7:14Speaker 1: on odor and wetness protection. We tried it, and we
- 7:17Speaker 1: know these products work. And with eight thousand five star reviews,
- 7:21Speaker 1: that's another good sign. It feels like a trend these days. Actually,
- 7:25Speaker 1: Jessica has gotten really big into like these, like really
- 7:28Speaker 1: focusing on what she's putting on her skin. Yeah, I'm
- 7:31Speaker 1: starting to get a little bit more crunchy, hippie dippy. Yeah,
- 7:34Speaker 1: it's happening. And so I think it's important that we
- 7:36Speaker 1: continue to talk about these products. Native comes and a
- 7:38Speaker 1: wide variety of enticing sins for men and women. Plus
- 7:42Speaker 1: they have new limited editions seasonal sins throughout the year. Personally,
- 7:46Speaker 1: I love the coconut and vanilla coconut is the best.
- 7:51Speaker 1: Really really feels nice on the skin too. They also
- 7:54Speaker 1: offer an unscented formula and baking soda free formula for
- 7:58Speaker 1: those with sensitivities. Okay, that's awesome. But you know what
- 8:02Speaker 1: I love the most about all this is that it's
- 8:04Speaker 1: a no risk to try. That means that Native offers
- 8:08Speaker 1: free returns and exchanges in the USA and free shipping.
- 8:12Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, Native is worth the try.
- 8:16Speaker 1: So here's the thing. For your first purchase, visit Native
- 8:19Speaker 1: Deodorant dot com and use promo code famous during checkout.
- 8:23Speaker 1: Again off your first purchase, visit Native Deodorant dot com
- 8:28Speaker 1: and use promo code famous during checkout. Before the break,
- 8:37Speaker 1: we're talking about Adult Team. We talked from everything about
- 8:40Speaker 1: redeeming your credit card points to um Ashley kind of
- 8:45Speaker 1: nostalgia of looking back on past memories, and we want
- 8:47Speaker 1: to hear from you. Listeners. Email us at been an
- 8:49Speaker 1: Ashley I I hired Media dot com, or tweet us
- 8:53Speaker 1: in hashtag the Almost Famous podcast. Nostalgia is definitely a
- 8:56Speaker 1: real thing. It's happening more and more in my life
- 8:59Speaker 1: over the last year. I turned thirty, and I turned
- 9:03Speaker 1: thirty thinking it was gonna feel super old. It doesn't.
- 9:05Speaker 1: It feels actually really great, But it's a it's forcing
- 9:09Speaker 1: me to reflect on where my life's at, where my
- 9:12Speaker 1: family and friends are at and then all the memories
- 9:14Speaker 1: that I've made to this point. And here's my quick theory,
- 9:16Speaker 1: and there's a lot to this. We look back on
- 9:18Speaker 1: good and bad times with um with almost a smile
- 9:22Speaker 1: on our face. Some of them is super traumatizing, and
- 9:24Speaker 1: I know we don't, but you can heal from those things,
- 9:27Speaker 1: but they've made you the person they are today. And
- 9:29Speaker 1: I think for the people getting into their thirties, forties, fifties, sixties, seventies,
- 9:33Speaker 1: when you're in a healthy place, you're really proud of
- 9:35Speaker 1: the person that you are today because you've been through
- 9:37Speaker 1: some stuff. And I think looking back on that stuff
- 9:40Speaker 1: and seeing how you became victorious through it and not
- 9:43Speaker 1: the victim through it, actually brings an authentic joy to yourself. Yeah,
- 9:49Speaker 1: Like there are days back in like grad school or
- 9:52Speaker 1: before then, and I think when that was experiencing them,
- 9:57Speaker 1: I was like, well, this is just a day. It's
- 9:59Speaker 1: actually probably not the to day. But now I'll look
- 10:01Speaker 1: back on those days and I'll be like, no, that's
- 10:03Speaker 1: I was so great. That time was so much fun.
- 10:07Speaker 1: It's just weird, and you're you think about You're like,
- 10:10Speaker 1: would I want to go back there? If you're looking.
- 10:12Speaker 1: If you're looking at that memory so fondly, would you
- 10:15Speaker 1: want to go back and like be in that spot
- 10:17Speaker 1: right now? And no, but I do just like love
- 10:22Speaker 1: deep diving into memories. Came from East is totally nodding
- 10:26Speaker 1: along here. I kind of want to know, is why
- 10:28Speaker 1: do you think we get family videos and pictures are
- 10:30Speaker 1: so popular? Check this out. I dig into memories I
- 10:35Speaker 1: didn't even have originally. So one of my favorite things
- 10:37Speaker 1: to do is watch videos of commercials from the fifties
- 10:41Speaker 1: and say, like, I know them better than I know
- 10:43Speaker 1: commercials from now, and like I did not grow up
- 10:44Speaker 1: with those commercials. I just like they have this like
- 10:48Speaker 1: energy and them just because they're from the past. And
- 10:50Speaker 1: uh and like my dad showed them to me when
- 10:51Speaker 1: I was a kid, so there's a there's is a
- 10:53Speaker 1: connection there, but like, uh, I don't know, it's it's
- 10:56Speaker 1: it's so much fun to go back and and re
- 10:58Speaker 1: explore these things with a new land. I think. Anyway,
- 11:01Speaker 1: you're right here, So let's get personal for one second
- 11:04Speaker 1: from me and then let's move on to the hottest
- 11:05Speaker 1: topics and Bachelor Nation right now. But I want to
- 11:08Speaker 1: take this time. I always love the off season because
- 11:10Speaker 1: we were able to actually talk about ourselves for a
- 11:12Speaker 1: little bit and try to relate with the listeners and
- 11:14Speaker 1: have them respond to us. So please write in message us.
- 11:17Speaker 1: We want to hear from you. You know, one thing
- 11:20Speaker 1: that's been really sad for me and I want to
- 11:21Speaker 1: know if I'm alone in this is I've gotten older
- 11:25Speaker 1: and had more and more years of life still young
- 11:28Speaker 1: year out of my twenties, I've become more and more
- 11:32Speaker 1: numb to new experiences because there's less of them exactly well,
- 11:37Speaker 1: and also like for you, your first Jonas Brothers concert
- 11:41Speaker 1: is something you remember and you cried and you whatever
- 11:43Speaker 1: you did during that it was it was a moment
- 11:46Speaker 1: that overtook you to where you couldn't just be your
- 11:49Speaker 1: normal self like it overtook you. I don't have those
- 11:53Speaker 1: experiences very often anymore. There's very few experiences that I
- 11:56Speaker 1: have that that caused me to radically react and be
- 12:00Speaker 1: something like to celebrate like without control, or to laugh
- 12:04Speaker 1: and to sing without control, or to be sad without control.
- 12:08Speaker 1: As I've gotten older, I've gotten more and more kind
- 12:11Speaker 1: of moderate too. When you're experiencing something like you're a
- 12:14Speaker 1: little bit more in your head is yeah, well, and
- 12:17Speaker 1: you can predict what's gonna happen, and you so anyways,
- 12:20Speaker 1: I think as we've gotten older, actually, for me, it's
- 12:22Speaker 1: been happening more and more. I was even in Honduras,
- 12:24Speaker 1: and Honduras was the place that broke my heart and
- 12:26Speaker 1: changed my world forever. It's caused me to to totally
- 12:31Speaker 1: redefine what I want to be and who I want
- 12:33Speaker 1: to be, and who who I want to be to others.
- 12:35Speaker 1: And on this trip I was telling my buddies. I
- 12:37Speaker 1: actually started bawling in a hotel room um with a
- 12:41Speaker 1: bunch of grown men, because I said, for the first
- 12:42Speaker 1: time on a trip, and I've gone down for fifteen years,
- 12:45Speaker 1: I'm numb to some of these stories. Like I met
- 12:48Speaker 1: with a young woman whose house fell on and on
- 12:51Speaker 1: her kids, and whose father died the week after. He
- 12:54Speaker 1: built them a new house that was made of mud,
- 12:55Speaker 1: and he was so proud of it. And her husband
- 12:58Speaker 1: left her and ran back and disappear and took her
- 13:01Speaker 1: son to the States. And she's twenty two years old.
- 13:03Speaker 1: And I'm sitting there here in the story, and I
- 13:07Speaker 1: was almost numb to it because I've heard so many
- 13:09Speaker 1: stories similar to that, and it hurts me. I don't
- 13:12Speaker 1: want to become numb to those stories, and so I'm
- 13:15Speaker 1: working on that now. But yeah, as we've gotten older,
- 13:18Speaker 1: I've gotten more and more numb to those new emotions.
- 13:20Speaker 1: And I got one more thing to say before you
- 13:21Speaker 1: move on. This is like a little bit of a
- 13:24Speaker 1: transition from all those horrorful horrorful that was my word
- 13:28Speaker 1: for horrific and horrible. That's I think it's fantastic stories.
- 13:33Speaker 1: Is that Do you feel like that since you're in
- 13:35Speaker 1: a relationship now that you like seek comforts? So I
- 13:38Speaker 1: think like everybody like gains like relationship weight and then
- 13:40Speaker 1: like maybe they're like a little bit more little less
- 13:44Speaker 1: um outgoing because like you just kind of want to
- 13:47Speaker 1: be together and be cozy. Yeah, so you just like
- 13:50Speaker 1: do less and you just like kind of crave being cozy. Yeah.
- 13:53Speaker 1: The contentment piece of it's nice right now because I
- 13:55Speaker 1: know one day that won't always be the case. Why
- 13:57Speaker 1: do you think that? What do you mean it all? Kids?
- 14:00Speaker 1: Life up a bit, um, parents, aging shakes life up
- 14:04Speaker 1: a bit every day here. Yeah, so like that stuff
- 14:08Speaker 1: shakes life a bit where you and it's uncontrollable, and
- 14:10Speaker 1: so the little things, the little things that are hurting
- 14:14Speaker 1: you today, I think will build a resilience and a
- 14:16Speaker 1: character inside of you now that help you face those
- 14:18Speaker 1: things later. They will never be easy, but I think
- 14:21Speaker 1: you'll have the tools and the skills. It's it's actually
- 14:24Speaker 1: a beautiful thing how life brings you these these pains,
- 14:28Speaker 1: some big, some small, along the way of life to
- 14:30Speaker 1: help build up to where you are now all and
- 14:33Speaker 1: to help build up to the things that are going
- 14:34Speaker 1: to be ultra traumatic later. But that on that note, Um, yeah,
- 14:41Speaker 1: here's what we want to talk. I want to hear
- 14:43Speaker 1: from you all, actually wants to hear from you are
- 14:44Speaker 1: Please email us, please message us. As you get older

- 16:18Speaker 1: but actley for our listeners that don't quite know, there's
- 16:21Speaker 1: a massive feud going on. It feels like it's bubbled
- 16:24Speaker 1: up for a long time between Colton and Rachel Lindsay.
- 16:26Speaker 1: And then I want to share my theory on why
- 16:28Speaker 1: this is happening okay, so quick synopsis. A couple of
- 16:32Speaker 1: weeks ago, on Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live, Rachel
- 16:35Speaker 1: went on and she said that there was a riff
- 16:38Speaker 1: between she and Raven that could never be mended. And
- 16:43Speaker 1: then Colton saw this news post on like US Weekly
- 16:47Speaker 1: or E or something like that on Instagram, and he
- 16:50Speaker 1: wrote underneath it in the comments section, does Rachel like anyone?
- 16:56Speaker 1: He also went further and said, um, on time, Rachel
- 17:01Speaker 1: spoke poorly of me to Cassie and that was one
- 17:06Speaker 1: of that was that's his reasoning for not liking her.
- 17:08Speaker 1: And then Rachel got on Twitter and said that she'd
- 17:12Speaker 1: be happy to have Colton on her podcast to address
- 17:16Speaker 1: these issues. I know, I know, so let's see. I
- 17:21Speaker 1: do think that Colton is going to go on her podcast.
- 17:24Speaker 1: I don't understand. And then he responded, this is really juicy.
- 17:27Speaker 1: He responded by saying, I'll come on your podcast if
- 17:32Speaker 1: it's completely not produced and edited. Well two thoughts here,
- 17:39Speaker 1: I say they should do it live so we have
- 17:42Speaker 1: proof that it's not edited. Um, Rachel better be very
- 17:46Speaker 1: thankful for Colton right now because that podcast will be
- 17:49Speaker 1: really highly listened to. Yes, and if if one of
- 17:52Speaker 1: them doesn't want to do it on that podcast. We're
- 17:54Speaker 1: always here for them. We're really good at Yeah, we
- 17:58Speaker 1: really enjoy sitting at those moments. Um, my second thought
- 18:02Speaker 1: is maybe it's the critic in me. I don't know
- 18:07Speaker 1: really what's side have fallen. I don't fully understand the
- 18:09Speaker 1: whole scenario. I know they have been back and forth,
- 18:11Speaker 1: and I know there's arguments on others. He said, she
- 18:13Speaker 1: said here. I have a theory and I tweeted it
- 18:17Speaker 1: that Colton Underwood will be the host with Rachel Lindsay
- 18:21Speaker 1: very soon because they've had feuds in the past. They
- 18:25Speaker 1: have been legitimately upset with each other. They're not faking it.
- 18:28Speaker 1: But this is the first time Colton showed irritation towards
- 18:31Speaker 1: Rachel publicly. I can't say that for certain I don't
- 18:35Speaker 1: I don't know. I didn't even know this was happening
- 18:37Speaker 1: until one night. We we have that text thread that
- 18:39Speaker 1: like updates on stuff happening in Batch Nation. I see,
- 18:42Speaker 1: I said, I don't know what's going on here, but
- 18:44Speaker 1: it's something, and it's something pretty big. It's two leads
- 18:47Speaker 1: going at each other. But Ashley, I would put money
- 18:53Speaker 1: that this could be that's a terrible bet. Could be
- 18:57Speaker 1: a setup for Colton to co host this podcast from
- 19:01Speaker 1: the in the future with Rachel, and this is a
- 19:03Speaker 1: way to get some traction around it. So Ali fan
- 19:05Speaker 1: Tawski is no longer co hosting that podcast with Rachel?
- 19:09Speaker 1: Is that official? Yes? Okay, I didn't know. I I
- 19:13Speaker 1: do believe that it was announced that she's no longer
- 19:16Speaker 1: going to be there because she has a lot of
- 19:17Speaker 1: other things going on. She's a busy person. She's on
- 19:20Speaker 1: the Home and Family Network and all that stuff. So, um,
- 19:23Speaker 1: I'm just wondering, are we allowed to say who runs
- 19:26Speaker 1: that podcast? Well, it's definitely it's a Wonder Brother podcast.
- 19:29Speaker 1: It's a Wonder Brother podcast, you guys. It's um completely
- 19:32Speaker 1: run by basically the Bachelor producers themselves. And and again
- 19:36Speaker 1: this is coming from a place of I have no clue.
- 19:39Speaker 1: This is my theory that this would be a I
- 19:43Speaker 1: think they've I don't think Colton and Rachel have gotten
- 19:45Speaker 1: along very well. I think this is real, But I
- 19:48Speaker 1: also think there is a bigger story maybe being played
- 19:51Speaker 1: out here that Rachel and Colton might not even realize
- 19:54Speaker 1: they're participating it. So how beautiful is this? Right? That
- 19:58Speaker 1: podcast the pool looking over or going Okay, they're obviously combative,
- 20:03Speaker 1: they're they're both leads. We're going to get them on
- 20:06Speaker 1: this in the same room, and you and I both
- 20:08Speaker 1: know this. It's a lot easier to forgive somebody once
- 20:10Speaker 1: you're in the same room as them than it is
- 20:12Speaker 1: through social media. So then they're the hope is that
- 20:15Speaker 1: they're probably gonna forgive each other. They're gonna work out
- 20:17Speaker 1: there and their differences, and I bet there's this hope
- 20:20Speaker 1: maybe that it works out so well they said, well,
- 20:22Speaker 1: how about you guys just host this together from here on.
- 20:25Speaker 1: But this hope didn't come about until they started seeing
- 20:28Speaker 1: this interaction. Okay, that's what I'm that's my theory. I've
- 20:32Speaker 1: known nothing to back this with. Okay, this is Ben's theory, guys. Um,
- 20:36Speaker 1: my theory is that it's going to be hard to
- 20:38Speaker 1: get Colton to go on that podcast because what's his incentive?
- 20:42Speaker 1: Good point, because it's not that they're going to pay him.
- 20:46Speaker 1: You know, why, why why would he do this? Actually,
- 20:48Speaker 1: let's talk through that. I don't think that there makes
- 20:49Speaker 1: any sense to unless he really wants to air, like,
- 20:52Speaker 1: unless he has a specific reasoning and a real story
- 20:56Speaker 1: that he can kind of back up with multiple people
- 21:00Speaker 1: like Cassie who are willing to come on and like say,
- 21:04Speaker 1: this is what Rachel said and this is why he
- 21:06Speaker 1: was so hurt by her. I feel like it's going
- 21:07Speaker 1: to have to have a moderator because if not, it's
- 21:10Speaker 1: just going to be a back and forth on you
- 21:12Speaker 1: said this, you said this, I thought you said this,
- 21:14Speaker 1: I've heard you said this. They need to have a
- 21:15Speaker 1: moderator there. This is in our podcast to produce those
- 21:18Speaker 1: so they do what the what they want. We'll talk
- 21:20Speaker 1: about it though, so you can listen to us afterwards.
- 21:22Speaker 1: Rachel definitely has a good debating skills. She can confront someone.
- 21:26Speaker 1: She's a lawyer. I don't see why Colton would do it.
- 21:30Speaker 1: Doesn't make any sense to me why you would. But
- 21:32Speaker 1: it's all circular. This kind of popped up. First off,
- 21:36Speaker 1: Andy Cohen continues just to be a legend. I don't
- 21:39Speaker 1: know how that guy continues to get this stuff out.
- 21:41Speaker 1: But every time his names attached to something, and it
- 21:43Speaker 1: has been for years, So good on you, Andy, Uh
- 21:46Speaker 1: the raven Rachel few do we have any idea of
- 21:49Speaker 1: where this comes from? Wait? Isn't this bizarre that it's
- 21:51Speaker 1: now become the Rachel and Coulton feud, and that Raven
- 21:56Speaker 1: has a man appearance in this fight at all, smart
- 21:59Speaker 1: part passive object. I mean, I would like to say
- 22:03Speaker 1: that we should have her on, but I'm almost sure
- 22:07Speaker 1: she won't reveal what went on. No, I mean she's gonna,
- 22:10Speaker 1: she's she's moving on. Um, she hasn't coming in either way.
- 22:15Speaker 1: We don't really know what happened, right. We have no
- 22:16Speaker 1: idea where this feud comes from. We just know that
- 22:18Speaker 1: they don't get along anymore, and so Raven is just
- 22:21Speaker 1: kind of letting this play out. Why why why would
- 22:23Speaker 1: Raven come on and talk about something to bring back
- 22:26Speaker 1: up in air dirty laundry that now has been passed
- 22:28Speaker 1: onto Colton. It's a wild scenario. I got out of
- 22:31Speaker 1: it and she got out of it. We should be
- 22:33Speaker 1: watching it, will continue talking about it. What we know now, though,
- 22:37Speaker 1: is that Colton has said he is going to come
- 22:41Speaker 1: on the podcast within the next two weeks. I just
- 22:44Speaker 1: got message. Oh damn. So next topic, Tyler Cameron talks
- 22:49Speaker 1: about dating Hannah Brown again after splitting from g G.
- 22:55Speaker 1: What do we mean? Talks about dating her again like
- 22:57Speaker 1: there's a possibility he'd go out with her again. Yeah,
- 23:01Speaker 1: he's he's reminiscing on what they did have, So he's
- 23:04Speaker 1: taking nostalgia. Tyler has got some nostalgia. Um, obviously getting
- 23:09Speaker 1: the questions of would you ever again? Those kind of things. Well,
- 23:13Speaker 1: I don't think Hannah would entertain it. I mean, Hannah's
- 23:16Speaker 1: Hanna's blown up right now. Yeah, she's she is writing
- 23:19Speaker 1: this Dance with the Stars wave. What is she placed
- 23:22Speaker 1: right now? What? What week are we in? Like? How
- 23:23Speaker 1: are we eliminated at least half? Oh, she's she's pretty
- 23:26Speaker 1: far along. Can we get can we an update from
- 23:28Speaker 1: the room on where Hannah Brown is at and Dance
- 23:30Speaker 1: with the Stars? So she is, she's at the peak.
- 23:33Speaker 1: I mean, she's a fan favorite. She's received the most
- 23:35Speaker 1: points multiple weeks now. Her dancing skills are incredible. Now
- 23:40Speaker 1: when it comes to Tyler, he's obviously gonna get questions
- 23:43Speaker 1: about Hannah like that just is gonna happen. He's gonna
- 23:46Speaker 1: get questions about Gig for the rest of his life
- 23:48Speaker 1: and Hannah for the rest of his life. That poor
- 23:50Speaker 1: guy will never get rid of it. But my main
- 23:53Speaker 1: question for him that I wouldn't want to ask is
- 23:57Speaker 1: does he regret not pursuing things further with Hannah now
- 24:01Speaker 1: and moving on to Gig because if you remember right,
- 24:03Speaker 1: that week was a big week for him, and I
- 24:06Speaker 1: really think he thought he could teeter totter between them.
- 24:09Speaker 1: I don't think he would have gone out with Hannah
- 24:12Speaker 1: if he knew he was already talking to Gig and
- 24:14Speaker 1: wanted to fully pursue that. I think he thought that
- 24:18Speaker 1: he was going to be able to date around It's like, no,
- 24:21Speaker 1: now that you're a public figure, and especially involved with
- 24:24Speaker 1: two other public figures, you can't do that. It's in
- 24:27Speaker 1: the bachelor world. It's not easy too to date because
- 24:32Speaker 1: it is a hot topic. You've gone on a show
- 24:35Speaker 1: that's celebrated and loved over dating, so people have a
- 24:38Speaker 1: vetted interest, invested interest in who you're dating and why
- 24:42Speaker 1: you're dating him. So for Tyler, I think that's just
- 24:45Speaker 1: one of those like not mistakes. Who knows how he
- 24:47Speaker 1: looks at it. It's one of those decisions he made
- 24:49Speaker 1: back in the day, not knowing the repercussions of that.
- 24:52Speaker 1: Everybody would know who he's dating very soon. Um, So
- 24:57Speaker 1: we have word Hannah is in the top of Dance
- 25:00Speaker 1: with the Stars, which is a huge accomplishment. I mean,
- 25:03Speaker 1: I think Bachelor people typically make it to like top six,
- 25:06Speaker 1: so she has a few more weeks left to really
- 25:09Speaker 1: kind of push the envelope. I have a feeling that
- 25:11Speaker 1: Hannah will be the first Bachelor contestant to well we
- 25:15Speaker 1: actually have had one. Yeah, Ryecroft, I bet you. I
- 25:19Speaker 1: bet Hannah has a shadow winning this year. I bet
- 25:20Speaker 1: you she's top three in the least. Um. Let's go
- 25:24Speaker 1: back to what Tyler said about the future between he
- 25:28Speaker 1: and Hannah. He has definitely got a great pr person.
- 25:32Speaker 1: But I will say even when he was on our podcast,
- 25:34Speaker 1: he's able to speak um very he words his stuff
- 25:40Speaker 1: very well. His quote is, we're friends, and I think
- 25:44Speaker 1: she's an incredible girl, and I have so much love
- 25:47Speaker 1: for her and I want her to be successful and
- 25:49Speaker 1: have the best. I don't know about the future. I'm
- 25:52Speaker 1: just trying to worry about today and tomorrow. You know,
- 25:56Speaker 1: he gives us nothing. It gives us nothing, gives us
- 26:00Speaker 1: nothing smart, you know, I mean good for him. I
- 26:03Speaker 1: mean I think I think that Tyler is going to
- 26:07Speaker 1: get a lot of attention over him here in the
- 26:09Speaker 1: next few weeks months as he does continue to date
- 26:12Speaker 1: and Tyler has you know, blown up because of his
- 26:15Speaker 1: relationship with Gigi and Hannah. Afterwards, it will be interesting
- 26:18Speaker 1: to see how he navigates it. But I I mean
- 26:21Speaker 1: from his time here on the podcast, and actually I
- 26:24Speaker 1: know you feel the same way. We're hoping that Tyler
- 26:26Speaker 1: does really well everything he wants after this, but we
- 26:30Speaker 1: would love to have some clarity on We would love
- 26:34Speaker 1: on this podcast have some cleared and who he's dating
- 26:35Speaker 1: and why he's dating them, But I don't know if
- 26:36Speaker 1: we're gonna get it. But speaking of dating, Mike Johnson
- 26:40Speaker 1: who came on the In Depth podcast a few weeks
- 26:42Speaker 1: ago and started talking about Demmi Levado, it just came
- 26:45Speaker 1: out now that him and Dimmi a little longer dating.
- 26:47Speaker 1: Mike has gotten a lot of attention recently for his
- 26:50Speaker 1: time on Sarah Strayhan and uh because he asked Keky
- 26:56Speaker 1: out here's my question to you to start this thing.
- 26:59Speaker 1: Uh Um. A lot of opinions being thrown around is
- 27:02Speaker 1: was it inappropriate for Mike to ask Keki out in
- 27:05Speaker 1: her within her workplace? So Mike is saying that he
- 27:10Speaker 1: um didn't mean this is all misconstrued and that he
- 27:14Speaker 1: wasn't meaning to give I wasn't asking her out, he
- 27:18Speaker 1: was giving her a hypothetical, so I have to be honest.
- 27:22Speaker 1: I haven't watched the interview, but apparently he said something
- 27:25Speaker 1: along the lines of, Kiki, if I were to ask
- 27:28Speaker 1: you out, would you and like then he was going
- 27:32Speaker 1: to create a situation. But then I think Michael got
- 27:35Speaker 1: really excited and Sarah they just started bipping and gossiping,
- 27:38Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, it turns into way to say,
- 27:41Speaker 1: you're about it, You're about to ask how Kiki on TV?
- 27:45Speaker 1: And it was all misconstrued. So it got way, It
- 27:48Speaker 1: got out of hand really quick, and there was no
- 27:50Speaker 1: like controlling it or navigating it. At that point. It
- 27:53Speaker 1: was just a whole new ball game and everybody was
- 27:55Speaker 1: in a whole new world. And Mike was saying, Hey,
- 27:57Speaker 1: I was just hypothetical you. Here's the other thing is
- 28:01Speaker 1: Mike is not a professional interviewer. Oh so I was
- 28:04Speaker 1: just gonna say. What I found very interesting reading up
- 28:07Speaker 1: on this drama was that somebody who is in PR
- 28:10Speaker 1: says that you should never in a live TV interview
- 28:15Speaker 1: give a hypothetical situation because people can cut you off
- 28:18Speaker 1: and they can sew often. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean,
- 28:22Speaker 1: you start responding, you're getting comfortable in these interviews. You
- 28:26Speaker 1: say something that you think is gonna come off is funny,
- 28:29Speaker 1: and all of a sudden it's not, And then there's
- 28:32Speaker 1: no like pulling it back. And so I get that
- 28:34Speaker 1: those things happen. I can't even call it necessarily a
- 28:36Speaker 1: mistake unless he And this is where the only time
- 28:39Speaker 1: I'd say would be a mistake is if he didn't
- 28:41Speaker 1: mean it at all, Like if he wasn't at all
- 28:43Speaker 1: interested in even thinking about asking keeking out, then it's
- 28:46Speaker 1: not a fair question. But if he was a little bit,
- 28:48Speaker 1: then hey, like you did it. It maybe came off weird.
- 28:51Speaker 1: It should have been said the way it was. The
- 28:54Speaker 1: whole thing was put in a weird situation. We all
- 28:56Speaker 1: mess up, move on. But I haven't heard to this
- 29:00Speaker 1: point if he if he wanted to go on a
- 29:02Speaker 1: date with Kicking or not. But the thing is, is
- 29:04Speaker 1: this holies up to this point with Mike is on
- 29:06Speaker 1: our podcast he talked pretty openly about his relationship with
- 29:09Speaker 1: Demmi Levado and now he Demi Lvado and Mike are
- 29:13Speaker 1: no longer dating, and there's articles that come out they said, hey,
- 29:16Speaker 1: he said these things on almost famous podcast. Demi got
- 29:19Speaker 1: upset over it. Um, you know, they're not necessarily blaming
- 29:23Speaker 1: our podcast. We're saying it was set on there. I wonder, Ashley,
- 29:27Speaker 1: do you feel like this podcast broke Dimmi and Mike up.
- 29:31Speaker 1: He would have ended up saying it somewhere else, and
- 29:34Speaker 1: then in another interview he would have been as revealing.
- 29:37Speaker 1: And we should also mention it was the whole Good
- 29:40Speaker 1: Morning America three as they call it, became such a
- 29:42Speaker 1: big deal that actually, on the following day's episode, Michael
- 29:47Speaker 1: and Sarah asked Keky if she was going to accept
- 29:50Speaker 1: Mike's date request, and she had to like be like, no,
- 29:54Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm trying not to date people, um so publicly. Yeah. So,
- 29:58Speaker 1: I mean Mike isn't somebody I think he said on
- 30:00Speaker 1: our podcast that is uh that holds his words inside
- 30:05Speaker 1: of him. He's he's very vocal, he's an uh. He
- 30:08Speaker 1: out processes things, uh through his language and through talking
- 30:13Speaker 1: to people. And so I do think he would have
- 30:15Speaker 1: said something about his relationship with Demmy. He was gonna
- 30:17Speaker 1: be asked about it all the time somewhere else, and
- 30:19Speaker 1: he didn't say anything too crazy. He said, you know,
- 30:22Speaker 1: she's a good kisser, and so he admitted that they
- 30:24Speaker 1: had kissed at some point and if she didn't like that,
- 30:26Speaker 1: then that was on them and where their relationship stood.
- 30:28Speaker 1: And then, you know, I get that that might have
- 30:30Speaker 1: hurt her because she felt like he was over sharing.
- 30:33Speaker 1: But Dimmy and Mike are no longer together, and so
- 30:35Speaker 1: now we have Tyler, who was getting a lot of
- 30:38Speaker 1: press because of who he was dating, and Mike, who
- 30:40Speaker 1: was getting a lot of pressed because he was who
- 30:42Speaker 1: he was dating, no longer dating these people, and I'm
- 30:45Speaker 1: wondering what's next for these guys because there's been a
- 30:49Speaker 1: ton of I mean, I never received this attention after
- 30:53Speaker 1: my time on The Bachelor at for dating. They have
- 30:56Speaker 1: gotten a lot of attention for dating. Is this the
- 30:58Speaker 1: new norm for Bachelor contestants or is this just because
- 31:01Speaker 1: of them dating celebrities? I do think that because on
- 31:05Speaker 1: the Bachelor, But you become a public figure so fast,
- 31:08Speaker 1: and it's so fun and it's so centered about your
- 31:11Speaker 1: love life that you get you feel like it's normal
- 31:16Speaker 1: to like discuss it so much. But if you do
- 31:19Speaker 1: jump into a relationship with another high profile person, especially
- 31:23Speaker 1: in this case, way higher profile than the Bachelor, um
- 31:27Speaker 1: I think because they slowly become famous, and because they
- 31:31Speaker 1: keep their personal life for the most part, as private
- 31:33Speaker 1: as they can. I think that if Bachelor contestants are
- 31:38Speaker 1: going to continue to date celebrities, they're going to have
- 31:40Speaker 1: to get more on their level. I mean, of course,
- 31:44Speaker 1: Tyler was pretty darn private about the gig thing, but
- 31:48Speaker 1: he did. Yeah, he was, Yeah, he was. I think
- 31:50Speaker 1: it's gonna be a whole new thing to navigate. I mean,
- 31:53Speaker 1: I I know Bachelor contestants have dated celebrities in the past,
- 31:58Speaker 1: but there is a respect I think to that that
- 32:00Speaker 1: we all have to realize is when you date somebody
- 32:02Speaker 1: in the public eye, you have to respect that they're
- 32:05Speaker 1: in the public eye. Um, and you have to be
- 32:08Speaker 1: cautious of how much you share. And I think that's
- 32:10Speaker 1: just a good lesson for anybody in the Bachelor world
- 32:12Speaker 1: to come that when they're coming off the show, to
- 32:14Speaker 1: know that that is gonna be something that happens to everybody.
- 32:17Speaker 1: You're gonna meet people that you grew up loving. You're
- 32:19Speaker 1: gonna be have the opportunity to talk to them, maybe
- 32:22Speaker 1: make a romantic connection with him, maybe a friendship connection,
- 32:25Speaker 1: and you have to keep you have to understand that
- 32:28Speaker 1: by saying yes to the Bachelor Bachelorette, you're throwing yourself
- 32:31Speaker 1: in a whole new world that could spit you out
- 32:33Speaker 1: on the other side, with the public eye viewing you
- 32:37Speaker 1: um at a close level. For every move you make,
- 32:39Speaker 1: you're becoming, You're coming into a microscope. And that's where
- 32:43Speaker 1: comments like this kind of shake me. And we're moving
- 32:46Speaker 1: into a story. I'm we're moving into a story now
- 32:49Speaker 1: with from Vanessa Grimaldi, who was engaged to Nick File
- 32:53Speaker 1: at one point after Nick's season, and she comes out
- 32:56Speaker 1: recently and says she didn't want to get engaged to
- 32:58Speaker 1: Nick on This Bachelor's Season twenty one. And I'm saying
- 33:01Speaker 1: this because I think this was almost it walks right
- 33:04Speaker 1: up in the line of an overshare, mostly because it
- 33:09Speaker 1: feels like something that didn't need to be said now. Yeah,
- 33:11Speaker 1: why is she bringing that up now? And also then
- 33:14Speaker 1: the second question that is is she saying it because
- 33:17Speaker 1: some of the stuff that was written about in us
- 33:19Speaker 1: UH magazine article pretty much says that Nick kind of
- 33:23Speaker 1: like sold her on the idea of getting engaged. He said, hey, yeah,
- 33:29Speaker 1: he said something. Yes, he said some along the lines
- 33:31Speaker 1: of it's gonna show a legitimacy to our relationship. If
- 33:34Speaker 1: we get engaged, that the scrutiny from us getting engaged
- 33:37Speaker 1: will be a lot less than if we just come
- 33:39Speaker 1: out of this boyfriend and girlfriend, And so I think
- 33:41Speaker 1: we should get engaged. There's also a comment made in
- 33:43Speaker 1: the article that says that Vanessa believes that they would
- 33:46Speaker 1: have been broken up a lot quicker if they weren't engaged. So,
- 33:50Speaker 1: with all this being known, and all this being said,
- 33:52Speaker 1: and all this now being out in the open, which
- 33:53Speaker 1: I do feel like I shouldn't even know half this stuff,
- 33:57Speaker 1: was it right? When when you get on The Bachelor
- 34:01Speaker 1: Ashley or The Bachelor at and you're in the final
- 34:05Speaker 1: few there, do you think it is right to get
- 34:08Speaker 1: engaged if you aren't for certain? Similar to how Cassie
- 34:13Speaker 1: and Colton walked off the show? Or should you just
- 34:15Speaker 1: go off the show? Boyfriend girlfriend? I know there's a
- 34:17Speaker 1: lot of pressure because if you don't become engaged at
- 34:21Speaker 1: the end of it, it just as not as exciting
- 34:24Speaker 1: for the audience, Like just we have a show and
- 34:27Speaker 1: at the end of it somebody becomes boyfriend and girlfriend.
- 34:31Speaker 1: If it becomes too much of a trend, too much
- 34:34Speaker 1: of the norm, I can see this show not being
- 34:36Speaker 1: as exciting, So I understand the reasoning to get engaged
- 34:40Speaker 1: from the excitement factor. But I think that, like, if
- 34:43Speaker 1: if I were there at the end of the two
- 34:46Speaker 1: months together, I would probably prefer not to get engaged. Really,
- 34:52Speaker 1: that's that's surprising from you, actually, that you'd prefer not
- 34:55Speaker 1: to get engaged. Is that a recent I think no.
- 34:57Speaker 1: I think it's because, like Jared and I had four
- 35:00Speaker 1: years together before we got married, and I can't imagine
- 35:04Speaker 1: getting engaged and then breaking it off. But now I'm
- 35:07Speaker 1: talking to you, he has done that. So would you
- 35:11Speaker 1: want that choice to become boyfriend and girlfriend and not
- 35:14Speaker 1: proposed you you wanted to propose. That's a great question. Um,
- 35:19Speaker 1: it is interesting. Jessica and I were talking about this
- 35:21Speaker 1: weekend we're together. We're talking a lot about like kind
- 35:23Speaker 1: of you know, what the Bachelor has brought me and
- 35:26Speaker 1: if you know, and how it's affected my life with
- 35:29Speaker 1: her even and how beautiful of a thing the Bachelor
- 35:31Speaker 1: has been for me, because it really has allowed me
- 35:33Speaker 1: new opportunities like sitting down and talking to you and um,
- 35:36Speaker 1: being able to meet a whole new spectrum of people
- 35:39Speaker 1: and making a career out of coffee now when that
- 35:42Speaker 1: would have never been the case without the Bachelor. Like
- 35:44Speaker 1: I believe that I know that, and I don't think Jessica.
- 35:47Speaker 1: I don't think I find Jessica and I don't think
- 35:50Speaker 1: she responds to my Instagram message unless I she wouldn't
- 35:55Speaker 1: know going into it that I wasn't going to be
- 35:57Speaker 1: a total creepster, you know, Like there was is a
- 36:00Speaker 1: lot that The Bachelor has brought me that is been
- 36:02Speaker 1: has been good, and so she was asking me and
- 36:03Speaker 1: we had a pretty honest conversation about for the really
- 36:06Speaker 1: the first time, about like what has this whole thing been?
- 36:09Speaker 1: And do I regret any of it? And do I
- 36:10Speaker 1: look back on any of it and say I wish
- 36:12Speaker 1: I would have done it different? And I don't. I mean,
- 36:14Speaker 1: I met some incredible women all my time during the Bachelor,
- 36:18Speaker 1: and now I know Jessica and I know that she
- 36:21Speaker 1: is somebody that I love dearly and that it's just
- 36:23Speaker 1: an incredible partner to me. But I think I I
- 36:27Speaker 1: appreciate Jessica now because of my time on the Bachelor
- 36:30Speaker 1: and because I truly believe that I was walking off
- 36:33Speaker 1: of that show with somebody I was going to spend
- 36:34Speaker 1: my life with and I think seeing just how honestly
- 36:38Speaker 1: Lord and I failed, and how it didn't navigate in
- 36:41Speaker 1: the correct direction, and how we didn't communicate well, and
- 36:44Speaker 1: how hard it was to make a relationship out of
- 36:46Speaker 1: out of it, even though I believed it was the
- 36:48Speaker 1: right thing. I think now looking at my relationship with
- 36:51Speaker 1: Jessica and seeing how good it is helps me now
- 36:53Speaker 1: be so confident in what that is. But you just
- 36:56Speaker 1: benified me. You just became a politician on me because
- 36:59Speaker 1: I ass if you would have rather just left, I
- 37:01Speaker 1: had the less pressure to just leave that as boyfriend
- 37:05Speaker 1: and girlfriend. Oh, I definitely no. Yeah, I didn't mean
- 37:07Speaker 1: not to answer that, because I know that you're thankful
- 37:10Speaker 1: for your bachelor problems, and I am so thankful for
- 37:14Speaker 1: my bachelor process, even though I think it worked better
- 37:16Speaker 1: for me, and like the long run, has it worked
- 37:18Speaker 1: for you, Like everything happened for a reason. I think
- 37:21Speaker 1: it is would have been a lot easier to walk
- 37:23Speaker 1: off of it. Boyfriend girlfriend. I think that you fight
- 37:27Speaker 1: more for it, you fight more for it. I think
- 37:29Speaker 1: there is a legitimacy to getting down and saying this
- 37:32Speaker 1: whole thing has brought me to you, and I'm making
- 37:34Speaker 1: that commitment to you because I believe in who you
- 37:37Speaker 1: are as a person and I want to try to
- 37:38Speaker 1: make this work. Now it doesn't always work, and that's okay,
- 37:45Speaker 1: And I do think that for you've seen it for
- 37:48Speaker 1: four years now that you've been dating that you were
- 37:50Speaker 1: dating Jared, and you know, I've been in a relationship
- 37:52Speaker 1: for ten months and it feels like it's flown by.
- 37:55Speaker 1: Like there's a whole new level of respect and value
- 37:58Speaker 1: that I put on getting on on one knee. Um,
- 38:02Speaker 1: But I don't regret it, but I do think it
- 38:04Speaker 1: like when you look at the Colton and Cassie is
- 38:06Speaker 1: of the world. I honestly, and I don't know if
- 38:08Speaker 1: I've ever said this, I'm a little bit envious that
- 38:11Speaker 1: they've been able to walk off this show as boyfriend
- 38:13Speaker 1: girlfriend without that pressure on them, Like they are able
- 38:17Speaker 1: to date and they just met each other on a
- 38:19Speaker 1: show and that isn't a bad thing and it's sense
- 38:23Speaker 1: good for them. But I'm envious that that that's the
- 38:26Speaker 1: pressure that they've had to feel, because there's a whole
- 38:28Speaker 1: new pressure when you get off the show and people
- 38:31Speaker 1: start talking about weddings, like the month after the show
- 38:36Speaker 1: airs or the day after the show airs. Now it's
- 38:38Speaker 1: when's the wedding? How's the wedding? And it's like, I
- 38:41Speaker 1: literally haven't spent a day at the grocery store with
- 38:44Speaker 1: this person yet. So for me, when I look at
- 38:47Speaker 1: this whole thing, there there's legitimacy to get down on
- 38:50Speaker 1: one knee, but there's also a simplicity and an ease
- 38:53Speaker 1: at which just coming off the show boyfriend girlfriend is
- 38:56Speaker 1: And I think, I don't think it's a cop out.
- 38:59Speaker 1: I just an envy is that it's that easy and
- 39:01Speaker 1: the pressure is that light on the people that do it.
- 39:03Speaker 1: Could you imagine, though, if Nick on his fourth season,
- 39:06Speaker 1: when he finally becomes the Bachelor, doesn't get engaged at
- 39:08Speaker 1: the end of it, that would be extremely anti climatic.
- 39:11Speaker 1: But here's the other part of this, And I don't
- 39:13Speaker 1: and and I don't know how. Yeah, I don't know
- 39:17Speaker 1: how Nick felt. And I imagine that he really meant
- 39:19Speaker 1: it when he did it. But when you get down
- 39:22Speaker 1: on one knee, you're making a commitment that is a
- 39:25Speaker 1: powerful and heavy commitment. You were making something that was good,
- 39:28Speaker 1: greatly going to affect the human stories of each of
- 39:32Speaker 1: you for the rest of your lives. And so at
- 39:35Speaker 1: some point, I hope on that last day, even even
- 39:37Speaker 1: if you're making a show and you're participating in a
- 39:39Speaker 1: show for the three months of the show, is are
- 39:42Speaker 1: filming or whatever it is, that at least in that
- 39:45Speaker 1: last moment you're able to take the show out of
- 39:47Speaker 1: it and say, this is for us, and no matter
- 39:50Speaker 1: the criticism, no matter the scrutiny, no matter what's happening here,
- 39:52Speaker 1: this is about our relationship and how much I mean
- 39:55Speaker 1: for you. And even if I get criticized for this,
- 40:00Speaker 1: this is how I feel, and this is what I
- 40:02Speaker 1: know is best. And even if they're walking out of
- 40:04Speaker 1: this without being engaged, it's the best for both of us.
- 40:07Speaker 1: And I think that Nick also definitely thought he was
- 40:10Speaker 1: going to end up with Vanessa forever. I think he did,
- 40:12Speaker 1: But I also think that that was while in the
- 40:15Speaker 1: Bachelor bubble, and I'm I just feel like once they
- 40:18Speaker 1: got to know each other in real life, it probably
- 40:20Speaker 1: wasn't as easy as it was when I'm on the
- 40:22Speaker 1: show in particular, Get that, And I also want to
- 40:25Speaker 1: go back to what I said before. I think that
- 40:27Speaker 1: while I sit here outside the Bachelor bubble, I could
- 40:31Speaker 1: be like, oh, I'm really glad that I had four
- 40:33Speaker 1: years and I didn't get engaged after two months, and
- 40:35Speaker 1: blah blah blah. But when you're in the bubble, I
- 40:38Speaker 1: absolutely would have wanted to get engaged after two months,
- 40:40Speaker 1: just because it's like so highly romantic and if it works,
- 40:44Speaker 1: how beautiful of the story. When it works, you know
- 40:46Speaker 1: it's something to celebrate. Look at our Lauren. Hey, um,

- 43:07Speaker 1: almost like a thank you to him for him to
- 43:10Speaker 1: still be doing that, because it just shows that he's
- 43:12Speaker 1: still like a huge part of your life. And he's
- 43:15Speaker 1: probably saying now that it's like over and he sees

- 44:21Speaker 1: just offer that? Ash Come on, it's it's great and

- 44:27Speaker 1: There's many others, but Ashley and I. I mean, my
- 44:31Speaker 1: car is a two in your cars what, so we
- 44:35Speaker 1: literally together definitely have the oldest two cars probably in
- 44:41Speaker 1: l A. I'm not playing Oh my gosh. I love
- 44:44Speaker 1: that you have that too. I'm obsessed with my car.
- 44:46Speaker 1: Her name is Idle because her original license plates at
- 44:49Speaker 1: heart IDOL for American Idol, so her name, you know,
- 44:53Speaker 1: it's stuck. And she's twelve years old now an Accura
- 44:56Speaker 1: m d X, and I'm so attached to it. Speak
- 45:00Speaker 1: King of Nostalgia and Jonas Brother concerts and stuff. My
- 45:02Speaker 1: best friend Lizzie Um, she was like when this car
- 45:06Speaker 1: actually dies, we're gonna have to strip the seats because
- 45:09Speaker 1: we want to literally like twenty seven Jonas brother concerts
- 45:12Speaker 1: that car took us to just like up and down
- 45:14Speaker 1: the East Coast. She's like, so we have to strip
- 45:16Speaker 1: the other seats and make bracelets and stuff out of it,
- 45:20Speaker 1: like you braid them all up, because it's just those
- 45:23Speaker 1: seats and that car somewhere so so different. Really, I
- 45:26Speaker 1: mean so much does we need to keep sick? I
- 45:28Speaker 1: think that would be really sweet. I thought you're gonna say,
- 45:30Speaker 1: you got so excited I'm going to Jonas Brothers concerts
- 45:32Speaker 1: pants so many times that those seats would have like, yeah,
- 45:35Speaker 1: never mind, No, I mean, I'm not saying I haven't
- 45:38Speaker 1: peed my pants in those seats. I definitely have from
- 45:40Speaker 1: laughing so hard and probably on those trips. Speaking of nostalgia, Hey, uh,
- 45:45Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember Bachelor Lambiena from Jake
- 45:48Speaker 1: Pocus season. They had a really a memorable moment on
- 45:52Speaker 1: live television with Chris Harrison kind of mottering and it.
- 45:55Speaker 1: She comes out this week and shows off the results
- 45:58Speaker 1: of her multiple plastic surgeries, and the quote that's used
- 46:02Speaker 1: in US magazine is she says, I'm skinny again again. Yeah,
- 46:08Speaker 1: so you know, plastic surgery has been something obviously been
- 46:11Speaker 1: around for a long time. Uh isn't talked about publicly
- 46:14Speaker 1: too often. I feel like it's getting more and more
- 46:17Speaker 1: um easy to talk about it in the public for
- 46:20Speaker 1: people who have gone through it. I mean, it feels
- 46:23Speaker 1: like a topic anyways. I don't know how to expand
- 46:26Speaker 1: on this, mostly to say that Vienna has came out publicly, UM,
- 46:30Speaker 1: has increased her confidence. UM. And now Vienna kind of
- 46:34Speaker 1: comes out once again. Who we haven't seen her for
- 46:36Speaker 1: a while, and it used to be a name that
- 46:38Speaker 1: was really popular in Bachelor Nation. We we would talk
- 46:40Speaker 1: about it all the time, but here in the last
- 46:42Speaker 1: few years, Vienna has not been kind of on our radar.
- 46:46Speaker 1: So Vienna's actually saying that the miscarriage that she had
- 46:50Speaker 1: of twins back in June two thousand seventeen was one
- 46:53Speaker 1: of the reasons that she went and got the plastic surgery.
- 46:58Speaker 1: She's calling an angel Mommy may take over and it's
- 47:00Speaker 1: helping her heal. She revealed this to our friend Lauren
- 47:04Speaker 1: Ziema with eat t Um. She says she thinks about
- 47:07Speaker 1: the girls every day, that she lost. I mean, that
- 47:10Speaker 1: is one thing that you know, as she you and
- 47:13Speaker 1: I can't relate with. And it's one of those pains
- 47:15Speaker 1: and and things that uh, I imagine you'd have to
- 47:19Speaker 1: go through to even be able to talk to and about.
- 47:23Speaker 1: But oh, this makes so much sense. So she says
- 47:27Speaker 1: that she had a mommy pooch, you know, like her
- 47:29Speaker 1: tummy had a mommy pooch, and it was a constant
- 47:31Speaker 1: reminder of the twins that she lost. She said she
- 47:35Speaker 1: gained twenty five pounds from that. That she said she
- 47:40Speaker 1: gained twenty five pounds over a year from being so
- 47:42Speaker 1: depressed and then this was just like a wound on
- 47:46Speaker 1: top of it. And so every time she looked at herself,
- 47:49Speaker 1: she got hurt and got angry. It's um, it's I
- 47:55Speaker 1: really hope that Vienna is healing. I mean, I know
- 47:58Speaker 1: we both do and we all do, but I really
- 48:00Speaker 1: hope that this transition or this allows her heart to
- 48:05Speaker 1: be calmed. And I know this has got to be
- 48:09Speaker 1: hard for her, and I think through this whole thing
- 48:13Speaker 1: is I hope Vienna knows that she was She's she's
- 48:16Speaker 1: always been beautiful and um, and hopefully this new kind
- 48:21Speaker 1: of a season or this, you know, with with some
- 48:23Speaker 1: of the plastic surity. Now she can not erase the memories.
- 48:27Speaker 1: I know she doesn't want to do that, and as
- 48:28Speaker 1: I'm reading through the article here, but it will help
- 48:30Speaker 1: her heel and move on and know that she did
- 48:33Speaker 1: her best to be the best mother possible while she
- 48:36Speaker 1: had um those girls. Um another kind of another sad story.
- 48:41Speaker 1: Taylor nolan Um, who was with Derek Paith after There's
- 48:45Speaker 1: Time on Bachelor in Paradise, is single again after relationship
- 48:48Speaker 1: with the Canada man has ended. She comes out public
- 48:52Speaker 1: with US magazine and talks about if she could ever
- 48:54Speaker 1: reconcile things with Derek Payte. Now, I feel like we
- 48:58Speaker 1: need to ask Derek about about this on the live show.
- 49:01Speaker 1: What do you think? Oh? Yeah, totally, But I'm pretty
- 49:04Speaker 1: sure I think that he hasn't spoken to her in
- 49:06Speaker 1: a long time. I don't think it ended well. I
- 49:08Speaker 1: don't think it was a beautiful ending to their relationship.
- 49:11Speaker 1: And so when we do the live show once again
- 49:13Speaker 1: January eleven in San Francisco, go to ticketmaster dot com
- 49:17Speaker 1: for tickets, I think we should dig in a little
- 49:19Speaker 1: bit to DRK Paith and what exactly happened in their relationship. Absolutely,
- 49:26Speaker 1: and our live audience is going to get it first.
- 49:29Speaker 1: They're gonna see him squirm in his chair as we
- 49:31Speaker 1: asked him the tough questions, talk about unedited and raw.
- 49:35Speaker 1: That's the live show. Yes, yes, And when I stumble
- 49:38Speaker 1: over words, I can't look at Eastern and be like
- 49:40Speaker 1: cut that out, cut it out. No, We're just gonna
- 49:43Speaker 1: say it. It's my favorite. We have one more hot
- 49:46Speaker 1: topic before we go on to emails. We're gonna revisit
- 49:50Speaker 1: Vanessa Grimaldi for a second. So she's sent engagement ring
- 49:54Speaker 1: pictures to her boyfriend. She's basically saying, hey, buddy, Josh
- 49:59Speaker 1: Wolf is his name. I am ready to commit. She goes,
- 50:02Speaker 1: just f y, I'm I've been sending Josh pictures of
- 50:05Speaker 1: engagement rings. Is that like a no? No? This is
- 50:08Speaker 1: something she said on our On My Husband's podcast with
- 50:13Speaker 1: de non Glert. They help us second data and podcast.
- 50:16Speaker 1: How would you feel if Jessica started sending you engagement
- 50:21Speaker 1: rings being like hey, bud, hint and hint. I think
- 50:24Speaker 1: it was if it was talked about before, like hey, um,
- 50:27Speaker 1: here's the time period. She hasn't, by the way, um,
- 50:32Speaker 1: but if it was talked about before, Hey, here's the
- 50:34Speaker 1: time period that I'm thinking we should you know that
- 50:36Speaker 1: we're both probably thinking about getting engaged. I think it
- 50:39Speaker 1: would be helpful to know what she wants. I think
- 50:42Speaker 1: it needs to be conversed about, like I think we
- 50:44Speaker 1: need to come to an agreement that it's going to happen.
- 50:46Speaker 1: I think if this is like the first sign that hey,
- 50:48Speaker 1: I want to get engaged, and now I'm sending you
- 50:50Speaker 1: pictures of wedding rings that could come off a little aggressive,
- 50:53Speaker 1: do you like having that engagement talk or do you
- 50:56Speaker 1: just want to surprise her with it? I like having
- 50:57Speaker 1: to talk. I think at that point you are making
- 51:00Speaker 1: a mutual commitment to a huge I mean to one
- 51:06Speaker 1: of the to the biggest decision in your life, and
- 51:09Speaker 1: so at that point it should be talked through. You
- 51:10Speaker 1: should know where the other person stands, and you should
- 51:12Speaker 1: know that they are fully confident in walking into this
- 51:15Speaker 1: next season of life with you as well. I want
- 51:18Speaker 1: to make sure I'm clear that you know their ideas
- 51:22Speaker 1: for what's happening next is very similar to mine, or
- 51:24Speaker 1: if not, we can come to some agreement. But is
- 51:26Speaker 1: that like a sit down and talk about when are
- 51:29Speaker 1: we going to get engaged. Was the timeline of our
- 51:31Speaker 1: engagement or is that more like I see like kids
- 51:35Speaker 1: and being with you forever and then her saying yeah
- 51:38Speaker 1: me too. It could be both. I mean I think
- 51:40Speaker 1: for me, it's interesting because Jessica is in Nashville, and
- 51:43Speaker 1: so there's a whole like moving thing that has to happen,
- 51:45Speaker 1: and there's a whole job transition, and there's those things
- 51:48Speaker 1: that need to happen, so like there's a lot of
- 51:49Speaker 1: logistical planning moving up to that day. Even so it
- 51:53Speaker 1: has to be kind of a holistic conversation of hey,
- 51:56Speaker 1: are you into this? Do you want to have kids together?
- 51:58Speaker 1: Do you want to do this thing together? And then
- 52:00Speaker 1: it's also are you excited about this? What does your
- 52:02Speaker 1: ring look like? Like? Those things have to happen, But
- 52:04Speaker 1: I do like the mystery to the unknowing of when
- 52:09Speaker 1: it could happen. To know, like we only talked about
- 52:13Speaker 1: like we're like, well, this is forever. Like everything was
- 52:16Speaker 1: always like when we're fifty, you know, talking about that
- 52:21Speaker 1: stuff and like talking about our kids one day, But
- 52:25Speaker 1: we never necessarily said like so I would like to actually, well,
- 52:28Speaker 1: I did say that we had to get engaged before
- 52:30Speaker 1: we moved in together. Yeah, it is a little more
- 52:33Speaker 1: traditional Ashley and I respect that, and I think it's fair.
- 52:36Speaker 1: I think, you know, um, I'm learning now more and
- 52:40Speaker 1: more there are some really beautiful things about having more
- 52:45Speaker 1: of a private relationship than one that's in the public eye.
- 52:47Speaker 1: And there's some very personal choices that Jessica and I
- 52:50Speaker 1: want to make, um, like not living together before we're married, um,
- 52:55Speaker 1: because of kind of the moral boundaries were setting for
- 52:58Speaker 1: ourselves in our relationship that are private, um. And there's
- 53:02Speaker 1: a lot more to that that I won't discuss, and
- 53:05Speaker 1: that's beautiful to be able to have those and operate
- 53:08Speaker 1: those and navigate those, um without the pressures of the
- 53:11Speaker 1: outside world. So yeah, you know, I think all of
- 53:15Speaker 1: this to to kind of close up the Vanessa idea
- 53:18Speaker 1: with sending rings and talking about engagements. I have really
- 53:22Speaker 1: enjoyed having these conversations with Jessica without the pressure of
- 53:28Speaker 1: the world looking in. It's been really nice and it's
- 53:32Speaker 1: allowed us to grow as a couple and have really
- 53:35Speaker 1: We just did an interview for Sadie Robertson and one
- 53:38Speaker 1: of the things that we took away with was Jessica
- 53:41Speaker 1: and I are really good. I will give us credit
- 53:42Speaker 1: for this, for having the tough conversations. That's awesome. I'm
- 53:45Speaker 1: really happy for you guys. You and Jared what good
- 53:49Speaker 1: at having the tough conversations. Oh yeah, we haven't. We
- 53:52Speaker 1: don't even scrot around it. Yeah, well you're married. You
- 53:55Speaker 1: called him your husband and it's still throwst me off.
- 53:57Speaker 1: So funny. Um, well, hey, one email that I want
- 54:02Speaker 1: to read from Jillian. Uh, she is a driver. I'm
- 54:06Speaker 1: not gonna say the name of this um shared driving experience,
- 54:12Speaker 1: but it says this. Whitney and Grandma was listening to
- 54:15Speaker 1: last week's podcast, and Whitney talked about having only dated
- 54:19Speaker 1: Connor and Nick and Batchel Nation, but earlier at the
- 54:21Speaker 1: beginning of the year before Paradise. I was driving for
- 54:25Speaker 1: this company and actually picked up Whitney and Graham Bunn
- 54:29Speaker 1: from the bachelorette bachelor pad in Paradise and dropped them
- 54:32Speaker 1: off to dinner. But definitely seemed like a date. They're
- 54:35Speaker 1: really friendly towards me, and he mentioned that she gets
- 54:40Speaker 1: recognized everywhere they go, so it didn't seem like the
- 54:44Speaker 1: first date. Maybe she forgot about him. That happens. She
- 54:51Speaker 1: probably doesn't even associate him as a Bachelor person because
- 54:54Speaker 1: this season was so long ago. He lives uh grandmut,
- 54:59Speaker 1: I think lives in Eli. He's he's now a host
- 55:01Speaker 1: of a couple of radio shows. He's on country music. Yeah,
- 55:03Speaker 1: he's not like associated with the show. No, he's moved on.
- 55:07Speaker 1: It's hey, if you forgot about a day or two
- 55:10Speaker 1: or five, I get it. But that is something that
- 55:13Speaker 1: came up in our emails. This we keep emailing something
- 55:15Speaker 1: in Ashley at I heeart media dot com. We love
- 55:17Speaker 1: reading your emails and we love answering them when they
- 55:21Speaker 1: come in. Speaking of emails coming in and Twitter polls,

- 55:32Speaker 1: in depth guest? Because the in depth podcasts are blowing up,

- 55:42Speaker 1: the answer is Ashley Dean Unglert. So he's coming very
- 55:46Speaker 1: soon to send us your questions for Dean, and we

- 56:59Speaker 1: why do you throw these up to me? And like,
- 57:00Speaker 1: you throw them at me and I don't even expect
- 57:02Speaker 1: them and it gets me really excited. I love the surprise.
- 57:05Speaker 1: Why do you get on the moving walkways and not move.
- 57:10Speaker 1: Oh my god, I know it's all and and here's
- 57:14Speaker 1: the funny part about this whole thing. And then you
- 57:16Speaker 1: have your kids on the leash next to you that
- 57:18Speaker 1: take up the whole walkways so you can't pass them.
- 57:21Speaker 1: I'm telling you, airports are a hectic place and they
- 57:25Speaker 1: caused me a ton of stress in my life, as
- 57:27Speaker 1: we talked about before. But even if you're at a mall,
- 57:30Speaker 1: or if you're at an airport, or if you're in
- 57:32Speaker 1: one of those fancy cities that have the walkways down
- 57:34Speaker 1: the street, move on the walkways. If not, stand off
- 57:40Speaker 1: to the side. With that. I've been Ben, and we'll
- 57:44Speaker 1: talk to you next week. Follow the Benn and Ashley
