• 0:37
  Speaker 3: let's actually make this season.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Kind of competitive.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: We're gonna we reduced bracketology to come up with the Okay, fine,
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: he tires me out all the time.
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: Go ahead, Well you got to tell him what we're
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: betting on.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Okay, that's what I wanted to say.
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but you're talking about bets without anybody knowing that's
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: listening exactly.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Okay, it wasn't explicit there the Golden Bachelor season.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: I'm not timing you out. I'm saying, let's go ahead
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: and explain what we're setting up for ourselves and also
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: our listeners to participate in.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Okay, So guys, this is what we did this afternoon.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: We both downloaded this app.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: It's free.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: It's called Bracketology, and it's a very simple Bachelor, Golden Bachelor.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: They have one for every season bracket. We have filled
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: it out so I have week to week who will
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: be eliminated. But today we'll just talk about the big
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: ones like your final four is your fantasy this week week?
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: And your you know, final two and final.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: Now, Ben, well, it's very nice to have your bracket
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: out because you can see everything so clearly with this app.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: It's really really nice. Anyway, So Ben, I was thinking
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: we could like take this seriously and see, you know,
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: who gets further, who gets more points along the way,
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: more accurate predictions. We could do it financial. Our producer
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: mentioned that, but then she also said possible you can
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: give something to each other. The winner obviously gets a
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: gift from the loser. So Ben, you know what I'd want.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: This is the creepiest thing ever.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: I want to know. It's so bad.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Now, next time we're together, I want half an hour
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Ben Niggins with shoulder massage. I'm not lying down, guys,
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: just a little tank top was Justice's hands on my shoulders.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: If you never had Niggins massage, you're missing out. That's
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: pretty much most of you. But he has given a
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: shocking amount of massages to his fellow you know, bachelor
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: co stars.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: Huh deal, Okay, I want the same thing in return though.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Our Easton, our audio it is Uh, he's saying that
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: our engineer, our audio engineer Easton, if you can, guys,
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: get with it. You know who Easton has afterly eight years,
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: he said he can confirm you do give the best massages.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: Oh that's really sweet, guys. Yeah, but I want the
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: same thing from you.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: Then, really, but I'm not as great as you.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: I want one hundred percent of your effort. I want
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: this to be the one time that you have to
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: and that you're committed to it and that you're you're
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: fully in.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: All right, I'm gonna have to work out my hands
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: for that one for a half an hour. Yeah, I
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: think I'd rather just pay one hundred dollars. All right. Well,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: we'll say it'll be something along those lines. But I
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: thank you. Think sounds good. Let's plain on this, all right?
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: So Ben, uh, do you want to go through who?
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: We both on Sepper podcasts give quick reactions to who
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: we thought would stand out, but after some thought and consideration.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: I feel like I've made some intelligent picks. What about you?
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: I feel really good about it. Ashley, You're really into this.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: I didn't think I was. I don't think I would be.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: I've never done a bracket in my life.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: How so for like listeners of this show to compete
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: against us, how would they do that.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: To compete against us?
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I like to see where our points lie with theirs.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: This would be they have to join the same league.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: And I'm just in bracketology Golden Bachelor League. Okay, and
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: my name is it's Ashley. I Oh, there's five thousand
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: other people in this.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: Oh my goodness. Somehow my user name got made Enjoy
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: autocorrect it from Ben Higgy to enjoy someone to keep
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: it because it feels it feels right. But let's go
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: through who were get like taking. I mean, I don't
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: think we're giving too much away from the listener. Obviously,
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: they don't want to choose exactly who we're choosing because
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: that would just make us tie. And what the fun is?
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Well, Ben, Well, I think is fun here though, is
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: that you and I have made picks and we don't
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: know who each other picked here in writing like I
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: could screenshot it right now and send to you and
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: be like, look, I did not manipulate this based on
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: our conversation.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: I agree with you. How about you get started here?
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Okay? All right?
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: So hometowns, yeah, okay, my hometown picks are Carol, Debbie Maya,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: and Nicole.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: What about you?
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: So my hometown picks were this, Nicole, my Lean. I
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: am a massive, massive fan of Andra. Andra I think
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: it's Andre Cassandra, it's her sister, So Andra, I just
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: I really, I don't know. No, And Lisa, I think
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: he's actually going to go for the blondes. I think
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: he's a blonde guy.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Okay, So I have to say that I went based
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: on like youthful looks, since we all know that.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: He likes a youthful look.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: And I also went on athletics because you know that's
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: big for him. I also made southern California something that
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: I considered in making this, because that's where he's from.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: All right, So Carol, I picked top four, Debbie Maya,
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: and Nicole.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: So I want to should I give you reasonings as
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: to why I did both all of them?
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: No? No, no, no, okay, maybe just one like who
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: who out of this was like very clear to you.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: I mean, you kind of gave us your reasoning based
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: on age, looks, location.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Okay, so I eliminate Debbie this week. Now it seems
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: as if Debbie and Nicole both may not have been
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: married before and both seemed to not have kids, so
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: I had to While I think that that will be
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: an important component for him, an important element of life
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: sharing those experiences, I was like, I'm going to eliminate
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: one of them from contention because of that. No offense
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: and no you know, just just as for compatibility reasoning.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: And then.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: I move on to fantasy suites where I have Carol,
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Maya and Nicole.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: For fantasy suites, Yeah, I have Nicole, my Leen, and
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: my final fantasy suite goer. The final one is Lisa.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Okay, and why did you eliminate who you eliminated?
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: I do think when he mentioned how interested he was
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: in the age of somebody, as much as he wants
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: to say that, oh, I didn't really mean it, or
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: I was kind of kidding. I think it is a thing,
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: and so I think seventy seven might honestly just be
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: a little bit too old for him.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Liking Oh my goodness, you're creating quite the age you
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: got with them.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: He's sixty three.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: Mm hmm. I eliminated her based on that.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: No, I know, but still you have a seventy seven
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: year old going that far.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: I like your vibe, Ashley, I like your vibe.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Okay, Already escape to the coast at the Porta Fino

• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Visit Hotel Portafino dot com to book or call eight
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: zero zero four six eight forty two. So for my fantasy,
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: So you's got Carol, Maya and nicoleic I said, so,
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: then we find limited that down to the final two,
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: to which I have Carol and Maya. Now, both of
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: them very athletically inclined humans. Maya is young, This was
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: one of the first people that I picked last week
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: when I was just doing first impressions. She's fifty eight,
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: so to me, because the cutoff is normally sixty. I
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: think they put her in here for a reason. I
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: think that they think they're that compatible that they needed
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: her to get in at fifty eight. Because the only
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: other person, like I said last week, you weren't here
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: with me though, was Kelsey's dad. He was the only
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: one in his fifties during last season, and he made
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: it pretty far, and he made it far, but we
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: know that they wanted him because of multiple reasons. Being
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Kelsey's dad was definitely a big one. Maya also is like,
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: she's a college sports consultant from Malabou, California. They legitimately
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: live within like an hour or hour and a half
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: from each other. Coasty people, West Coast people, and she's
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: looking for somebody who loves sports, someone who's athletic, fun
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: and flirty, and they both have kids, and I just
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: think this is possibly the one, or at least the
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: show saw her as a good possibility as being the one.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Then I chose Carol because Carol's similar vibes. Carol is
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: a family manager for baseball. She's sixty three, she has
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: like a youthful vibe. She's got three daughters. She went
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: back to work becoming the full time manager for her
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: pro athlete nephew, who is LA Dodgers first baseman Freddy Freeman.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: She also returned to college recently and is a thriving
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: in her late student life.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, Okay, this just makes sense.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: Again, California girl who is really into sports with kids.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: Then that was your final two? Yeah, my final two
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: is Nicole and Mileen. I just think based on what
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: we know so far, I feel like they both will
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: be wow factors for him. They're both gorgeous. All these
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: women are really pretty.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: I will say I agree that those two are to
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: me just based on these two pictures, like the Hoddest.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well they look like they're like twenty five years old. Yeah,
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: And so I think they just stand out to me
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: because I I mean, I think Maya is a great choice.
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: I do see what you're doing there. I like your philosophy.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: I'm going just based on because I know nothing else
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: about the coming yet other than the pictures and knowing
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: his comments and knowing where I think his focus lies.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: I hope he wants to get married from this show.
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: I think this dude is out for a good time
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: so far from what I know, And these two look
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: like two people that are also out for a good time.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: So that's why I'm going with them.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, yeah, So you took a different approach, and
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: if I were to take that approach, I would have
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: gone with the same people. My winner is Maya because
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: again I think that the casting saw them two so
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: much together that they said, oh, you're fifty eight, It's okay,
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: come on over, Ben.
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: My winner is Nicole. My winner is Nicole. I think again,
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: based on everything I've said, I also just get the
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: feeling when I see her that she, I mean, here's
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: what's going to happen, going to go home on night one.
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: I'm putting so much on my weight in this, it's
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: gonna be over for me off to night one. I
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: honestly just kind of feel like she's the safe bet
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: from like, personally, I think, if I'm going to have
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: kind of a horse to ride through this competition, I
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: want somebody that I believe is going to at least
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: be there till the final four. And I think, based
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: on everything I know, about him and her. I think
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: she's like one of the sure bets for Final four,
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: and so I'm going to ride it to the championship
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: hoping that I'm right.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: All right, Well, there you have it, guys, so play
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: along with us at Bracketology.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: It's an app, they do you make it really easy?
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: I never made an app like an app. I never
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: made a bracket before today, and it's pretty fun.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: Did you have fun with it? Ash?
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: I did?
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I enjoy it it. We've always judged people completely
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: unfairly based on not knowing them in their pictures. That's
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: just been a thing we've always done. But this kind
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: of makes me judge them even more because I'm trying
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: to win here, and so it's not just like fun
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: and games. I'm going to say this now. I want
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: to be put on the record for it. I think
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: Carla is a dark horse that we need to recognize.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I have her going a couple of weeks in.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: She's a former model.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: This is kind of fun because you do get to
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: learn a little bit about them. They have their bios
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: in here, or they have like brief descriptions on the
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: girls here with their photos. I think it'll make it
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: watching the first episode and like following along easier.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so you fill out something like this and uh, Carly,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: yeah she could.
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: Get far Ashley prediction. Do you think this is going
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: to be a good season?
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: See, Heather and I broke this down a little bit
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: last week with headlines, because one of our headlines was
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: that Mel said that when he got to the Mansion
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: night one, he had to face a whole bunch of
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: flak from the women who are like, so I'm too
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: old for you, Like what do you think about?
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: So I don't want that storyline to like be like
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: peppered so much throughout the entire thing, Like make it
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: be a night one thing is kind of what we
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: were talking about. But I also feel like it is
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: something that I'm not going to be able to shake
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: out of my head for a little while, just because, like,
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: I'm just not sure that I like him. We know
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: so little about him, but what we know is kind
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: of like cringe. So I don't know, it might be
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: hard for me to get on board, but we'll see.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: We again know nothing about him, so maybe he'll be
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: great on TV.
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: We don't know enough yet. Let's give him the benefit
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: of doubt because we are going to be watching this season.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: I think these women are still as gorgeous as I
• 15:45
