• 1:40

• 1:44
  Speaker 1: every day. I'm I'm I'm I'm sorry. I'm home now

• 1:53
  Speaker 1: It's it's my younger brother's closet behind this. Okay, well
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: let's try this in your suitcase. What did you hack
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: and why did you pack what you packed? Sure? Um,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: all right, So in my suitcase. You know, you gotta
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: tone things down a little bit when you come south.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: You know, it's not like I'm bringing any suits. I
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: brought a one or two business office just in case.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: I've got a couple of meetings which which i've I've
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: used actually, um, but you know, no ties, It's pretty straightforward.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I've got a few pairs of shorts, slacks, three button ups,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: T shirts and gym clothes. You know, I'm pretty active
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: down here, and you know I can grab something from
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: the closet, just a little ill fitting, um, you know,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: from from the old days back here at home, if
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I need it. But you know, otherwise, pretty pretty strip
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the fairway, Bennett. Because you're such a character, I'm gonna
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: be really open and honest and no holds bar when
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: it comes to questions for you, because I feel like
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: you're down for those kinds of questions always, Well, what's
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: your skincare routine? Like like are you are you very
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: regimented in that department? I'm pretty regimented in most departments. Um,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: you know, I UM, I've got a couple different face
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: washes that I like. It's kind of like a five
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: step you know routine. Then I'll use a highalonic um
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: you know sort of um after the face wash, um.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: And then after that usually a serium or two maybe
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: vitamin C you know, um. And then my you know,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: typical moisturizer which is you know, acid free, all natural products, um.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: And then perhaps you know SPF and some of micream
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: and that's about it down all the steps there. Have
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: you ever tried botox. I've never done botox. Um. You
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: know I hear good things, Um, but I personally have
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: never done it. I've got the crows feet, you know
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: in the smile lines and all that stuff, you know,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: just part of the aging process. But I'm not I'm
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: not posed to it by any means. I've just never
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: tried it myself. My my esthetician fiance, Uh, this weekend,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I was so excited, I said, Hen, I'm gonna hydrate
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: my face today. She goes, what are you using as
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: like luber derm. She's like, not gonna work for you.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: So now I have a routine again. She's been trying.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I've said it many times. She's been trying for a
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: while to get me on her team. I'm not good
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: at it. Uh. Some coca cocoa butter or like luber
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: derm that does the trick for me. Been it? Um,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: you've been in the headlines recently. Um, when you go
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: to Paradise, how what SPF number are you gonna be using?
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: And then I still got to get the you know,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: over the steps in the approval process and everything for Paradise.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: So um, you know, I'm certainly thinking about it a
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: lot um, and you know, excited for for that next
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: step in the journey if that is to happen. But
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: um SPFI was you know, the older you get, I
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: think you gotta really crank it up. It's it's, you know,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: all about the longevity game. Probably having some fifty spf
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: um and then I might try to tear it down
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: a little over over the body over the course of time,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: but you know, at least thirty SPU. Actually, do they
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: provide sunscreen for you on the beach, They definitely do
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: they do. Good. Thank god, Ben, Thank you're you're asking
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: my question. Yeah, I'm trying to be there for you. Man,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I've got your bag. Now have you Have you received
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: any advice as to how to pack for Paradise because
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: it is a little bit of a different packing process. No,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: you know, uh and uh, well let's see how to
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: phrase this appropriately. On my on the journey of the batchlrette,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I made a whole Excel spreadsheet with everything really mapped out,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: and I had you know, my tin rose ceremonies and
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: the different optional as with shirt and tie combos. But
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: things are a little bit loosey goosey on the beach, right,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: It's like you're just throwing some trunks, throw on your
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: you know, button up your your your overshirt or your
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: tea or whatever. And I think you're ready to go,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: but you you tell me, I'm all ears. Okay, do
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: not pack anything with sleeves, like suits you really don't
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: even need. Maybe like bring one jacket, but don't bring
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: like I was so silly the first season. I probably
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: leather jackets and jean jackets thinking he would get chili
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: at night. Maybe no, it does never, it never gets
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: chili there. Um. Then I was able to convent condense
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: my stuff from like having two full suitcases. So was
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: one suitcase or paradise because everything you pack is so
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: tiny and light because it's all short sleeves, bathing suits,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: stuff like that. Just know that you will be in
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: your bathing suit, you know, seventy percent at the time.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Sounds pretty fun. Sounds pretty fun, you know the thing?
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: The thing with about guys and I'm not sure you
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: know what size you know, ben worse, but you're throwing
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: a couple of pairs of shoes for guys and bags
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: get you know, prety full pretty quickly. So and I'm
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a diva when it comes to
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: shoes as as we probably remember. But I'll try to
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: keep that cone down and then there's plenty of room
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: for trunks. Yeah, no, no dress shoes needed. Yeah, I
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: got your I got your solution. Be it Crocs. Crocs
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: can go with everything. It's gonna be a fashion statement.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: They go with jeans, they go with dress pants, they
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: go on the beach. You can just wash them off
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: without the sand. Bennett, I'm telling you right now, you
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: after Paradise, if you want your endorsements to fly, Crocs
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: is ready and willing. I'm here to support them. But
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: are you a back sweater or a front side sweater? Oh? Man,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: I'm sweating all over. I got you know, the kind
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: of like the chest here keeps me warm on the front.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: But I've always got you know, the cascade going down
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: the back to It's no way around. I'm a sweating guy.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: You know, Portavieta is going to feel cool compared to
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: what you had to endure in Palm Springs. Now, good point.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: That's a good point. Yeah, so I never thought about that.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: You've got a whole season dripping through your clothes and
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: you actually had to wear dress clothes there. I didn't
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: even know the good location was part of a ARCTA.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: That's that's good to know. I've never been there. Oh
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: it's very nice. It's about an hour away from there.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: But that we we still call it portaviru to they're
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: part you fly into. It's called ply Escondida. That's a
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: town or the resort name. Salulita is the town. Salut
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: is the town. Thank you. Pli Escondida is the resort.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: But I didn't know if you know, if there was
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: the same location. I don't, you know. I'm on the
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: yours and I'm you know, taking this in. Okay, So
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: I mean we'll get to like the nitty grity. Now.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: You have shown interest perhaps in multiple women from the
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: past couple of seasons. One notably is Kelly Flannagan. Oh,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: he pointed, he said, one. Okay, alright, so he's trying
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: to be loyal here, I've read about two. At least
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: we've read about two. That's fine. There's a lot of
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: things you read about. We don't always believe what we read,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: right Ben, you know, like like, yeah, that's that's been
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: that's a good point. Um, well here you're here to
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: clear it up, then let's talk about it. Take it
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: away to appreciate that. You know, I've been pretty pretty
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: upfront and honest and intentional with my interests, and it
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: is with you know, one lady, her name is, her
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: name is Kelly Flannagan certainly quite interested in Kelly Um
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: and you know, you know those there's been gossip and
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: rumors of you know, me and me and kit Um
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: and you know, unfortunately, you know, vascination. I think that's
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: just been a little bit of a misconception based on
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: you know, sort of our initial introductions on the show
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: and then you know the fact that we we grab
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: drinks in New York, um, you know, platonic basis, and
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: it was the first time we had met. I think
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: she's a fantastic you know girl, and Um, I think
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: we've you know, we'll have a great friendship. But you know,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: we're just so far apart in age. It's you know,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: twenty one and I'm almost thirty seven here at the
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: end of June. UM And I think, you know, age
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: isn't certainly every thing right, but I think that, you know,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: I'm one that the next couple of years, I'm really
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: looking forward to hopefully getting to work on some kids
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: and I don't think kids, you know, really you know
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: there yet, um, you know in that in that regard
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: and Um, while I do think she's certainly, you know,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: very mature, and wi's been under years, I just I
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: just don't think that that's kind of you know, a
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: reasonable age gap for us to enter into a relationship
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: at this point in our lives. So when you did
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: go and get drinks, was it obvious that you're going
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: into a platonic meeting? Yeah? I think so. Um, you know,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: we we talked about, you know things. I think even
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: I talked about Kelly at one point even when we're
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: out together. So I think I was like pretty pretty
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: straightforward with that whole you know approach. A couple of
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: things here. One is you haven't hidden that you're you're
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: very interested in Kelly. Um. You know, you sit in
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: a unique position this year, as most viewers know where
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Paradise has been planned out. It's been questioned it's you know,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: gonna have multiple seasons on it. Um. People have been
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: able to in the midst of kind of the lockdowns,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: loosening up, getting back together again from past seasons. All
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: that stuff is happening, right, do you at all as
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: a as a viewer of the show. Now for me,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: do you all seem like you're setting yourself up for
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: failure because the show now knows what your interests are,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: meaning you've been very clear that Kelly you're into Kelly.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Do you think that that's gonna be able to be
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: provided to you in a free and unbiased like opportunity.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: I'm clapping because this is a fantastic thought then, because
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: I went into Paradise too, and the producers knew that.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: They just they're like, Ashley is going to be all
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: in on Jared, um, you know so, and she's freaking
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: out about the possibility of which women he'll be interested in.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: So we're going to mess with her. You know this?
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Are you? Are you ready for this? Bennett? Yeah? No,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Um, you know, I'm not nervous about it.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: And my view on that was, you know, oh, if
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: I put out there that I'm flirting or interested with Kelly, uh,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: you know, everyone will know it. And I'm just, you know,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: almost thirty seven years old. I don't give if you know,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Like I mean, I'm like all four, like put it
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: out there. Um, and you know the fact of you
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: as you're talking about uh, you know, producer or something,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: you know, having their way or sabitizing this. I don't
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: think I'm guaranteed anything. I don't even know if Kelly
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: is you know, going on Paradise. Um. You know, I
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: think there's a lot of you know, women out there
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: that I don't know, UM, you know who perhaps I
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: haven't had my eye on or haven't had is you know,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: flirtations with um. You know that could potentially present themselves UM.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Or there could be some sort of opportunity there that
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: I just don't know about. UM. And so I'm open
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: to that by all means. But at the same time,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: you know, I think at thirty seven I live most
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: most things that I do in life are pretty deliberate
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: and pretty intention at all. And you know, I have
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: no problem putting it out there and going after a
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: woman or flirting with her and letting up be known, um,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: whether it's private or public or however may be. Yeah,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, ultimately, we still gotta believe that on Paradise
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: they want to see love stories being formed, Like you
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: gotta still believe that, And so I would be shocked.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: I've never known of it where they would be like, yeah,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: we're just gonna like totally destroy this relationship for the
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: sake of It's like, no, this could be really cute, right,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: this could be really sure? What is it? Before I
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: threw back to actually, what is it about Kelly that
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: does stand out to you the most? Like? Why is
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: why is she the one that you're you're now being
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: intentional about? Yeah, you know, I think she's absolutely very
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: very smart girl. She's very well spoken. I think, um,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: you know, our journeys and the way that um, you
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: know it sort of played out you know, on on
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: TV or are quite similar. That was something that she
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: you know, identified with me very early on. And I
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: think you know that that was pretty insightful on her
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: her end. Um. You know, I don't want to put
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: her on you know, blast or anything. Um, but I
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: just think that there's there's a lot of you know,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: good similar overlap, um and potentially some you know, mutual
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: interest that could be uh, you know, worth exploring. I
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: know she's you know, kind of sort of seeing someone,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: but to the extent that that's all you know, super
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: serious at this point in in her relationship down and
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: down in Florida, I don't I don't think that's the case,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: I think she's you know, moving to New York and
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of life to be living in between
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: now and then, and you know, we'll we'll see how
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: things kind of you know pan out. Um. But you know,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: I again, I don't, you know, I've never been on
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: a date with her yet, and I think that you know,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: there's a heck of a lot you know, that will
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: tell and when you kind of get together with someone
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: in real life versus just having some you know, conversations
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: or dialogues here and there, um, and obviously seeing people
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: on TV and having a perception of them. Who is
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: she kind of sort of seeing right now? Uh? Not
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: like to concern with other guys. That's not you know,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: my approach in life at all. Remember in the bachelor
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: community that Ben and I aren't aware of because we
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: aren't young uns anymore. No, I mean I think she's
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: talked about that. Um. You know, you probably just aren't
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: like keeping it keeping the pulse on Kelly Flannagan quite
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: as hard as I am, you know, But I think
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: you know, she's just got something down there in Miami. Um,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: to the extent that it serious, I don't I don't
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: think that's really the case, but I don't know the
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: day to day. You know. Now, this is gonna be
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: a really weird conversation for you, Bennett, but I have
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: to ask it and Ashley, you and I am Bennet
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: have to talk it through. So if I know, right,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Peters in New York Right, Yeah, so she's now moving
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: to New York City. I'm sure there's gonna be a
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: lot of crossover in groups, are you? Is that going
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: to be weird? Like I like, look at like X's
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, yeah, I don't necessarily like dislike them,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Like obviously I liked them for a season of my life,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: so I appreciate these people, but like I don't want
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: to be like, hey, hanging out with him socially very
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: often like that doesn't that feels awkward? Is that going
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: to be weird? To totally? Yeah, I hear you completely, great,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: great question, um, And you know, being the guy that
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: I am, kind of like taking things head on, calling
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: spades and spades and just you know, going forward. Actually
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: met Peter and after about the second or third tequila shot,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: I just threw it out there and said, you know,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: I'd like to address the elephant in the room UM,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: is it awkward that, you know, like I have interested
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: in him flirting with you know, your ex. And so
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: we talked about it. He said, you know, that's not
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: the case at all. I think, uh, you know, it's
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: just someone that I really care about and always will. Um.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: But you know, he I mean technically, you know, gave
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: his blessing and said that that was you know, by
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: all means, seems like you're, you know, a great guy.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: I really appreciate you asking. And I said that I absolutely,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: you know, appreciate what you're saying and what I can
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: tell by you know, looking at you that you're not
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: necessarily saying and you know, I mean no disrespect and UM,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to put that out there. So it
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: was a really nice conversation. UM. I think it's fresh,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: you know, and I want to be respectful of that.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: And I'm not trying to you know, obviously, I'm in
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: no position. We've got the whole other factor of the
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: equation here, Kelly to deal with. So, UM, you know,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I'm not, I'm not, I'm not. There's nothing to really
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: talk about, you know at this point. Um, but I
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: think you know, it was a very good, positive and polite,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: you know, respectful conversation. Um, and as far as you know,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: hanging out with in the future, I mean that's part
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: of kind of this whole Bachelor you know nation world
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: that we're living in, right, So it's like what you
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: signed up for. I can't really, you know, think too
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: too much into that at this point, obviously haven't even
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: gone on you date one with her, So can you
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: describe to the audience what you did to flirt with her?
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: She posted something like a hair flip Instagram reel or
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: something set to Mariah Carey's fantasy and then you did
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: what I did, a little counterpost with the same same
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: jam you know, fantasy, um, alluding to her pretty pretty
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: you know, directly, and um, you know I got her
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: approval to do it beforehand. I would not have wanted
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: to step on our toes because again, I'm a polite,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: you know, thoughtful guy, wouldn't want her to be like, what,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: that's weird. Then that could have been very big backfire
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: in my face. But you know, she said she appreciated
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: the boldness and you know, kind of flattering. So that's
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: that's all good, you know, Um, shoot your shot and
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: run with it. So that means that you have been
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: d m ng weave in touch them, yeah, in touch
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: and there you go. Hey, I do got to ask you,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: but I don't know how to ask. I mean, since
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: you're a guy that likes directness, um, I gotta be
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: direct with you. I was prepping for this whole thing,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: trying to figure out what in the world we're gonna
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: ask you. And there's a lot to ask you. Obviously
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: you're a very interesting guy. And um, you know, outside
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: of the dating world that you have and the potential
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: of maybe going on paradise, you have a job and
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: you're moving around. I came across this. This is gonna
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: be so mean of me, by the way, and I
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: just need you to tell me when the world was
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: going on, I came across this like video of you,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: like lick your lips or something like there's like or
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: like there was like salt on your hand. You're doing
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: it very essentially we are caviar. That was it, um,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: and it made me feel all sorts of weird watching it,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: like like a weird one. You know. Engagement's engagement, you know,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: for for better words, you're getting that engagement, right man? No, No,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: I know what you're saying. I know what you're saying. Um,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: was that for real? Like, was w did you sit
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: down and go this is gonna be something that I
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: want to put out to the world for engagement, Like
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: what was going through your head? Because I watched and
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: I was like, I can't stop watching it for some
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: weird reason, which I don't like any more than you
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: know before. But also I feel weird for watching it
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: even once. You know, of course, um, that's a pretty
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: weird one. Don't get me wrong, you know, I'll put
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: it this way. I've learned something new on on social
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: media every single day. I probably have since, um, you know,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: the show ended, and I can't keep up with the
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: kidties these days. You know, sometimes you get crazy ideas
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: when you're you know, almost thirty seven year old man
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: in your apartment, lose your mind at in quarantine this
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: would be funny, and you're like, man, maybe maybe that
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: was not the best idea, you know that one. That
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: one was you know, trying to be funny and do
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: do a little little little nudge um at Matt James,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: you know, for his you know, hummus charcuterie boards, which
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: obviously he's doing as a joke. Um, and you know,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: his his open eyed kissing. So I was trying to
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: tie in some some upscale charcutery boards with the caviare
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: and then also you know when you when you you know,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: eat caviar or when you you know, make out with
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: the girl, close your eyes, you know. I think that
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: was just kind of like part of the joke. Um
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: the delivery. You know, Uh, you use the word cringe
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: if you like, that's fine. I think it was. It
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: was you know, like funny to some ridiculous to everyone. Um,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: but you know, that was just part of it. Again,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: I'm just kind of shooting, shooting, shooting some content out there,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: trying to hopefully put some smiles onto people's faces and
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: make people laugh. I don't blame you. I know how
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: hard it is to come up with with with stuff
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: to do. So I'm all for him. And I did
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: not use the word cringe. I used it, I know
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: I did. Uncomfortable way appreciate that. Bennett, your your guys
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: from your season are super close, like you have a
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: nice little camaraderie. I feel like you guys have hung
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: out a lot in New York City together. Do you
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: feel like there's any way the bonds can be torn
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: a little bit based on drama that could happen in Paradise,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: of course. I mean I think that happened like that.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: You know. Um, I think I think there's um, you know,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: a lot of great guys and a lot of maturity
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: um from our season, which I'm so thankful for. UM.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: But obviously there's some people that are you know, closer
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: in little clicks than others. And you know, you throw
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: in all the other factors that go into a production
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: or Paradise or much less, you know, double that many girls,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: and there's bound to be some drama. So you know,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: I think that's almost a hundred percent guarantee. Well, would
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: you fight Joe for you know, your your friend Dr Jeff.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: You know I'm I'm not gonna gonna fight anyone Joe.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Joe and I will not fight. I'll throw that out there.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: UM and UM, you know, I mean, I you know,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: my my view is this, it's, um, We're not We're
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: not competing, you know, like there there's there's competition there
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: with you know, when there's one bachelorette plus guys. Um,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: you know, if you're being serious about relationships and you're
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: being serious about finding your future wife and you know,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: mother mother of your children hopefully. UM, competition shouldn't really
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: be part of the factor, you know, part of the
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: part of the you know, the equation. Um, it's it's
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: a lot less about competition and finding that and you win,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: you know, mutual connection into two way street. I think,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure there'll be some conflict, but I
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: don't think it's like a competing you know, sort of
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: an issue and that Yeah, Joe came on here and
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: mentioned that he was in the Kelly also and that
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: you guys are friends and this could be really entertaining,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: which is something that I'm very excited to watch because, uh,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: you know, he came on and it's been a good
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: in depth with us and kind of dove into that
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: and just had thrown out there like, yeah, he's interested
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: in Kelly, and then he made the comment but who
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: isn't And there's always that, like you know, the people
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: that go into paradise where you know, I remember, just
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: off top of my head, like Jade was one of
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: these people. Jade back in the day Jade walked to
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: the beach and everybody was like, oh, like any relationships
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: that we're existing. We're like on the line to be
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: ruined because Jade was such a hot commodity walking onto
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: the beach. I think Kelly, if she comes, we don't
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: know yet, that hasn't been confirmed, hasn't been not confirmed,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: would be that. Um. Well, Bennett, I know, we really
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: hope to see you in Paradise. When do you think
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: we will know an answer too, if you're going to
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: be there or not. I don't know, Man's just as
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: you are. I honestly, UM, I have no idea. UM,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: I'm imagine the conversations, you know, knocking little pick up
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: sooner than later, considered right around the corner. So we'll see,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: all right, Well, we were hoping to see you back,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: and then we'll have more answers to um the Kelly
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: and Bennett story. He fingers cross appreciate it crossed, Bennett,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: thanks for coming on. Man, Well, we've got a lot
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: of headlines with Bennett. Thanks coming on. We always appreciate
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: anybody's time to give up to come on the Almost
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: fam his podcast. It's a big deal. We hope to
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: be able to follow that story. He does, Okay, Ashley,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: for all the questions are out there about Bennett, and
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: we asked him a lot of them. You know, is
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: it real? Is it not real? Like? Is he just
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: playing up to a character? Like I think there's a
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: little bit of that. He just mentioned it with his
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: caviar post where he kind of thought through a good content.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing. The one thing I think can be
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: very like is true with him that we can't always
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: get out of people that are going on to Paradise
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: or going onto the Bachelor's I really do think he's
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: interested in finding love, Like I think this is a
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: priority for him, which makes no matter like how much
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: ridiculous content he puts out there, which makes me go,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: I want to watch it, like, I want to see
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: if he finds love or not. Yeah, you have a
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: good point there. He said multiple times at his thirty
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: seven looking for the person to marry and have kids with.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: And he makes such a good living doing what he does.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: I don't think he's worried. He's not in it for
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: the money anything that can come out of it for that. No,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: definitely not. I mean I think if anybody goes into
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: this stuff for the money, they're going to be gravely
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: disappointed most of the time. Um, but Ashley, we do
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: have a lot of headlines to read. Obviously, we did
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: a special episode last week when Colton Underwood came out
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: on Good Morning America and told the world that he
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: is gay, and we're gonna follow that story and just
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: like what what's happening in his life more and more
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: because you know, the next Flix documentary that has been
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: talked about. I don't think it's been um confirmed, but
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: it's like it's definitely like being filmed. Something is being filmed,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: so they're gonna be we're gonna be hearing that and
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: seeing that. Um. But as we talked about last week, UM,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: you know, Colton did make the announcement UM and people wondering,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: you know, what does Cassie think of this? Well, the
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: headline resist Cassie Randolph breaks silence after X Colton Underwood
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: comes out as gay's According to Today, she broke silence
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: in the way that like she wasn't off social media,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: but she didn't really address Colton's um coming out yet. Yeah.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: She doesn't need to, no, no, yeah, nor does she
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: have to. So she said, thank you everyone for the
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: kind comments and messages. Some of you are asking about
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: my YouTube for this week. I decided to take a
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: week off. Um, but I will have one up again
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: next week, so that's that's it. She was also on
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: vacation with her family during the time of the Good
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Morning America interview. Yeah, well more about Colton. Tasia Adams
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: has spoken up uh Colton under it was not always himself,
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: she says while filming Bachelor's Season twenty three. This according
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: to US Weekly, do you remember how awkward she was
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: when he left her room after the Fantasy Suite date?
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: It was it was like a very like it wasn't
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: even like a spoken about awkwardness that was on the show,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: but like watching his viewers. Viewers are like, what happened?
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Like something weird went down. That's still a mystery. Maybe
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Tas she'll be more open about it now. We will
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: will find out. But what she did say this week
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: on her podcast Clickbait was first, I was a little
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: shocked at first, um, but all in all, the happiness
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: that I have for him that he's finally able to
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: live his truth and to be out and to have
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: that sense of relief that I got from his interview
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: is something that I have to commend immensely. I am
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: just so happy that he's able to just be him,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: she said, even on his season getting to know him
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: pretty intimately and getting to know him in a way
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: UM that I that I think a lot of people
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: have been able to. There was always something that I
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: couldn't get a read on him with, Like, I feel
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: like he was not always himself. And now it makes sense,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: she said, I feel like when I was trying to
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: have those serious conversations with him, and when I was
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: trying to picture a life with him down the road,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: there was always something that he would kind of like
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: put up a wall against because he couldn't fully believe
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: that and that's not really what he wanted. And now
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: it makes sense as to why he wasn't able to
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: get there with me. Well, moving on from that story,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: we have another story that's been kind of moving and
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: grooving through our podcast world and through the world of
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Batch Nation for a while now. Bill Moss has finally
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: addressed the cheating rumors reuniting with Claire Crawley and whether
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: they're still engaged. This according to Entertainment Tonight, Yeah, but
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: not really. He doesn't really address any cheating rumors. He
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: just said that, um, when they went through this their
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: split that was was not even a thing. It was
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: never a topic of conversation. Um. He did say that
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: currently in their relationship, they are taking more time, spending
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: more time together. Claire and I are in a good place,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: and when the time is right, we will definitely talk
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: about those things. But for right now, we're just focus
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: on one another. We're keeping things private and that's working
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: for us, and in time, we'll speak about that together. Um,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: I and you just said, yeah, we're in a good place,
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: focused on each other. He's gonna leave it at that.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: I don't. Yeah, so we don't know whether they're still
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: engaged or not because he's not gonna tell us. Well,
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: this headline is one that if you're like scrolling through
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: the podcast right now, I'm I'm telling you you want
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: to stop and listen because this is probably one of
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: the biggest headlines that have never has never been brought
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: up before, that will ever read. Peter Weber, Yes, the
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: former Bachelor, says he was super close to quitting his
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Bachelor's season to be with Hannah Brown. This according to
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: cosin Politan, this is so juicy. How did we not
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: get this out of him? I guess the last interview
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: we did with him was a year ago, which is
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: mind boggling that time has flown so fast and he
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: wasn't as open, but holy crap. Yeah, he just said
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: in an interview with US Weekly's Here for the Right
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Reasons podcast that, um, he remembers when Hannah showed up
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: on his season with the Limo and like he was
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: like that limo showed up and just sat there for
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: like fifteen or twenty minutes and nobody got out, and
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: I'm just standing there and no one's coming up to me.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: And they apparently didn't show that part, and he said,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: I'm just waiting there. I'm like, Okay, when's the door
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: going to open? What's the surprise going to be? No
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: producers came up to me or anything. And then he said,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: I was an idiot. Producers probably hated me. But literally,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: I think they edited this part out when he was
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: actually having a conversation with Hannah. So Hannah gets out
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: of the limo and I don't know whether it's the
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: scene where she gets out of the limb or whether
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: it's the scene where they're at that first group date,
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: but he says this, I'm gonna leave the show, Like
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: if you want to if you want to give this
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: a chance, I'll leave right now. And then Hannah said, no,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: you can't do that, Peter, you're the bachelor. You signed
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: a contract. And then he was like, no, I'll do it.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: What are they going to do to me? He said,
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know what I was thinking that day. I
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: was very confused. So I can't tell by the tone.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: But you remember this during his season where Hannah Brown
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: showed up. It was teased. It didn't really it fell
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: short of what we expected in their conversation. We thought,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: oh my, is she coming back on his season? Are
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: they going to leave together? It was a big deal.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: For a while, we thought there was potential for it,
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: and then it never really played out. Is he saying
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: that like he like he still wishes he would have left.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Does he regret not leaving? Like? I can't tell by
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: the tone. Oh, I can't tell either, But I'm thinking,
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: like I want to know why they didn't show. I
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: guess it didn't that because like even the fact that
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: she said you have a contract, you're the bachelor is
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: something that they don't like to show, right, would have
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: ruined the rest of the season too, right, I mean,
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: how do you have a bachelor dating other women when
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: at the start of the season he was like, hey,
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: I don't I'm gonna leave for you, like it would
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: have just bringing another bachelor. Well that they weren't ready
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: for that yet. Well, um well he did finish the
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: season and ended up with Hannah Anne. This headline is interesting.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Peter Webber recalls how hard it was to break up
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: with what he says is the sweetest soul, Hannah Anne.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: He said, it was just such a stressful time in
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: his life, so tough. He never wanted to hurt someone
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: like that. He said that that Hannah and is the
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: sweetest soul you could ever meet. Nothing about her as
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: fake on real and having Matt Hannah, I mean, holy
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: holy crap, she is just like a sweetheart. And he said,
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: knowing that I was going to hurt her absolutely just
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: tore me up and I was not okay for a
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: while after that. Now it's in the pass and we're
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: looking forward. But he did say he wanted her to
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: become the bachelorette after that, so he said to the producers, listen,
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: I feel horrible for what's going on right now for
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Hannah Ann. Is there any chance that this can you know,
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: help her go on and find her her person through
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: the Bachelorette. I would love to kind of promote that
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: and push that for her, UM, because she obviously deserves it.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: I think the thought here is, did Peter want to
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: follow in the footsteps of Ari, who said that he
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: intentionally wanted to break up with Becca on TV so
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: that she would have more sympathy behind her to become
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: the next Bachelorette. Well, she didn't become the next Bachelorrette,
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: but we could still see her in Paradise right. She's single,
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: shoean shuman if she wants it, She's a human. Ashley
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: I ken Eddie the Paradise Experace says Hey, Ashley, we
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: have something to celebrate on this podcast, something really big
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: to amazing people who I know Jessica and I just
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: absolutely adore and I know you. A door was as well.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: The couple, Raven Gates and Adam are officially married disaccording
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: to US Weekly, what a thing to celebrate. They are
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: so happy, so happy for them. UM followed this all
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: their posts on Instagram last week leading up to the day.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: It was at the O Lanna in Dallas, Texas, and
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: they had twenty guests. Many of whom captured it all
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: on Social Um. They actually Raven said she had to
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: repland the wedding three times because which totally sucks. UM.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: She also was just cute, she goes, I'm more and
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: more excited as the days go on. I told Adam
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: the other day, We're sitting on the couch eating Cheetos,
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: eating ice cream, all this junk food, and I'm like,
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: can you believe we met on a TV show? This
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: is just so normal now, but I still can't believe it.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: And I had the same sort of feeling with Jared
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: the other day. We're like laughing in the car and
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: just like having always we're always just having a great
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: time together. And I'm like, I met this guy on
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: The Bachelor or on The Bachelor Paradise on a TV show.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: That's so freaking weird. And to think, like if I
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: didn't sign up for that season and he didn't sign
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: up for that he wasn't nominated for that season, it's
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: just mind boggling. I guess that's how all meat stories
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: are though, right. It's like, if you didn't show up
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: to this place at that time or send that message,
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: you never know what could have happened. Is something special.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: Love is in the air. But we do want to
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: pause here for a second, and when we come back
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: with Almost Serious podcast we have a really difficult story.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: Then we want to send our support and thoughts um
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: for this Bachelor Nation contest when we come back with
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: the Almost Famous podcasts. This headline is tough. It's hard
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: because we're sitting here and it just like, I don't know,
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: it rips um, rips out the heart, but the Bachelor's
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: If you haven't heard about this yet, I guess the
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: call to action would be after you hear this headline,
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: just get on social media and send an encouraging, loving
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: comment or thought to Tia Booth. Um. Tia Booth reveals
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: her dad has stage four colon cancer. Um. The quote
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: is it's a heavy it's heavy to post and and
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: it's heavy to read. I hate I hate this for
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: her and I hate this for her family. But yeah,
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: I think the best thing to do is all of
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: you listeners out there just go and love on Tia
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: if you can. I know, so so sad. She was

  Speaker 1: F you f you you f you know, blah blah,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: blah blah, lots of efforts towards cancer, and she said
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: that in early March, my dad was diagnosed with stage
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: four colon cancer and it's taken me since then to
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: even wrap my mind around it. Cancer is a nasty
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: little word, and when it affects someone you love, it
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: feels like it's getting the wind knocked out of you.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: Although not curable, we are all thankful it's treatable with
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: chemo started today. Dad said it was boring, but he
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: had a TV ice, water and recliner, so he had it.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Made a little tongue sticking out emoji said if you
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: ever wonder why I handle stress with humor there it
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: is hoping for minimal side effects and that he'll handle
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: treatment like a champ. So far, so good. We will
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: gladly take any good vibes and prayers not only for him,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: but also for his medical team as he goes through treatment.

• 37:56
  Speaker 1: vibes toward him. Um. She posted a little bit of
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: you know, picture of her dad and he does seem
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: to have a great outlook. You know, he's just like
• 38:06

• 38:12
  Speaker 1: of seconds to do that well. Tia Booth has also
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: commented on Colton Underwood Ashley, what do we have there?
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: So everybody loves to like force people to make these
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: public statements these days, right, Um, doesn't mean that we're
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: not reaching out privately. Um. You know, texting and calling
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: is an option. It doesn't have to be all out
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: there for the public to see. And this is my opinion. Um.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: And in response to TIA's feelings on Colton's coming out,
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: she said, at Colton Underwood knows how I feel. Love,
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: you want to love, love who you want to love.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: She goes, there's my statement. I am my own pr team.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: Gotta go by perfect. It's about his Uh, that's about
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: his smooth as can be. Well, speaking of Colton, Um,
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: there has been a petition, and I'm learning more about
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: petitions and what effectiveness they have and what weight they carry.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: But there is a petition, uh that was brought to
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: our attention calling for Netflix to drop Colton Underwood series,
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: and it's approaching twenty thousand signatures. Why is there petition?
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: Nashally what is it going against? What is the petition about?
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: So what I'm about to read is the description of
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: a a change dot org petition calling for Netflix to
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: cancel its reported series on former Bachelor star Coulton Underwood,
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: who has recently announced that he is gay, and this
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: is nearing twenty thousand signatures as of Sunday. The focus
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: on the campaign, started by an anonymous user n um
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: it centers on allegations that Underwood harassed Cassie Randolph, his
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: final pick on the popular ABC reality show The Bachelor,
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: not the fact that he came out as a gay man.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: It says Colton Underwood as a former Bachelor lead who
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: stalked his final pick Cassie Randolph. He placed a tracker
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: on our car, sent her and her friend's anonymous threatening texts,
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: and was even standing outside her window extremely late at night,
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: resulting in her brother attempting to de escalate the situation.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: Cassie is a victim of Colton's abuse. He does not
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: deserve a platform in any way, regardless of his sexuality.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: Colton should not be given a platform as a result
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: of his abusive, manipulative, and dangerous behavior. That's a description. Uh, well,
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: it is reaching twenty thousand signatures. Um, and it was
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: brought to our attention. You know, I don't I don't
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: know what weight petitions carry. I know there's something behind
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: all to look into it more, but um, you know,
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: bachel Nation has had a lot of petitions, uh in
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: the last six months that have You've been brought to
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: our attention? Well, something else in the final headline of
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: the day is Jade Roper and your good friend. Uh.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: She makes the comment in an interview with US Weekly.
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: She says, I wish I acted more empowered on The
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: Bachelor about Playboy. Shoot. Yeah, you guys remember how Jade
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: talked about how she posed her Playboy two crystals on
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: her season. It kind of came out most around her
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: hometown when she she you know, showed him something on
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: the computer. Um, it was just pictures and she said
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: that I always kind of had the idea in the
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: back of my head when that moment was going to happen. Um,
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: And I just wish that I had felt more empowered
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: about it. And I think at the time I just
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: felt a little sledgehammed about it. I felt very shamed,
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: which I don't feel at all. Um. Yeah, I know
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: It's different the way we look back on things, right,
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: because I feel like even even in the six years
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: at that time has passed since Jade came out about it,
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: I feel like now it would be handled totally differently
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: than it did then. I still remember that scene though,
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: and I know that's a scene that uh even Souls
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: has brought up publicly and said, hey, he wishes he
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: would have handled it differently too. He was thrown off.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: He was a little shocked, but he also was just
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: um also just upset that it had to come as
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: like this dramatic moment like he he just yeah, that
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: scene is is not as There's a lot more to
• 42:22
