- 0:42Speaker 1: or hate him, coming up here on the podcast. Becca
- 0:46Speaker 1: is engaged to Garrett and has kicked Blake to the
- 0:50Speaker 1: crying curve. I felt worried for him the whole time.
- 0:58Speaker 1: I had a feeling that Honestly, no, Ben, I'm gonna
- 1:03Speaker 1: talk to myself in the third person. I didn't see
- 1:05Speaker 1: this coming. I thought Blake had this in the bag
- 1:08Speaker 1: from week two. Yeah, I mean, I actually think that
- 1:10Speaker 1: he was the front runner of the entire time. Peter
- 1:13Speaker 1: was last year. He had so much more attention than Garrett.
- 1:16Speaker 1: Something happened. So we're gonna talk about Becca being engaged
- 1:19Speaker 1: to Garrett, what that means for Blake. Are we happy
- 1:22Speaker 1: for Becca? Are we upset at Garrett? What does this
- 1:25Speaker 1: mean for Garrett? He's had its own fair share of
- 1:27Speaker 1: controversy so far this season. We're gonna talk about that.
- 1:30Speaker 1: We're also going to preview our favorite time of the
- 1:33Speaker 1: year on this podcast, because I mean, let's be honest,
- 1:36Speaker 1: we've lived, thrived, and survived on controversy and it hasn't came,
- 1:41Speaker 1: uh really has never came without Bachelor in Paradise being
- 1:45Speaker 1: being kind of the catalyst. So Bachelor in Paradise starts
- 1:48Speaker 1: when actually it starts tonight, well, depending on what time
- 1:53Speaker 1: you're listening to this here, it's probably tonight, it's imminent. Yeah,
- 1:56Speaker 1: and it's so good. It's so good. Watched it last
- 2:00Speaker 1: night and I was like, Man, this is so much
- 2:03Speaker 1: more captivating to me personally than The Bachelorette is I agree?
- 2:07Speaker 1: Did you watch it? Ben? We gotta sneak preview copy
- 2:10Speaker 1: of it so people know I got okay, I mean,
- 2:12Speaker 1: I don't watch I don't watch a lot of the
- 2:17Speaker 1: Bachelor and Bachelor, and I watch enough I understand what's happening,
- 2:20Speaker 1: and I get involved in the characters. And I actually
- 2:22Speaker 1: try to call most of the contestants when they make
- 2:24Speaker 1: it suit as you know, far enough to connect with
- 2:27Speaker 1: them and get them, get to know them as people.
- 2:30Speaker 1: But the Bachelor in Paradise, I'll watch every episode. So
- 2:33Speaker 1: that's the difference with me too. It's like with The
- 2:35Speaker 1: Bachelor of the Bachelorette, I'll be like on my phone,
- 2:37Speaker 1: I'll be on Twitter. I was engrossed in that for
- 2:40Speaker 1: an hour and twenty minutes last night. It was amazing.
- 2:43Speaker 1: And there's some shocking, shocking revelations that come from Bachelor Paradise.
- 2:47Speaker 1: I mean, there are some people on Bachelor in Paradise
- 2:49Speaker 1: that are like the person that I never saw coming.
- 2:53Speaker 1: So anyways, we're gonna previews Bachelor in Paradise. We're gonna
- 2:56Speaker 1: talk to Dave in the chicken suit, who may or
- 2:58Speaker 1: may not happen to be there on on the beach
- 3:00Speaker 1: trying to find love. But before we do that, uh,
- 3:04Speaker 1: we got to talk about some problem I have, um
- 3:08Speaker 1: and we're gonna talk about you know, it's late here.
- 3:11Speaker 1: I've called it a day so far, we have some
- 3:13Speaker 1: big updates. UM with me personally, I got to talk

- 3:41Speaker 1: so that's a big deal. It's been a big day
- 3:43Speaker 1: for us. It's an exciting day. We had to talk
- 3:46Speaker 1: to you, although, UM, I could not imagine going through
- 3:49Speaker 1: another Monday without speaking to our beautiful listeners. But I
- 3:52Speaker 1: have an addiction. I have a problem. Actually, what's that? So?
- 3:55Speaker 1: I you know, I've always worried and it's never been
- 3:59Speaker 1: a huge issue with me, but that I'm losing my hair.
- 4:01Speaker 1: It's been a huge conserva in life back hair and
- 4:05Speaker 1: losing my hair and and so far I feel like
- 4:09Speaker 1: I'm doing our you know, I'm not doing great right.
- 4:11Speaker 1: I had a little differcession. Um, it hasn't gone too bad.
- 4:15Speaker 1: And the last five years my back hair has never came.
- 4:18Speaker 1: I'm very clean on the back. So everybody's got the
- 4:21Speaker 1: sequel and interested in dating me. I have a very
- 4:23Speaker 1: clean back, no acne um, no hair. I'm I'm pretty hygienic.
- 4:27Speaker 1: I washed daily, watch often. Back hair you can get
- 4:31Speaker 1: rid of, though it's a lot less bad than receding. Yeah,
- 4:34Speaker 1: definitely so. But here's the thing. And so about five
- 4:37Speaker 1: years ago, I realized that I'm you know, I'm in
- 4:40Speaker 1: twenty five. The chance that I lose my hair by
- 4:42Speaker 1: thirty five are getting higher and higher. I need to
- 4:44Speaker 1: do something about it. Well, there was never an option
- 4:46Speaker 1: for there was never a good solution, uh to keep
- 4:50Speaker 1: my hair healthy and strong until I really did The Bachelor.
- 4:54Speaker 1: And I realized that so many Bachelor people have came
- 4:56Speaker 1: across this amazing product called sugar Bear Hair, and they
- 5:00Speaker 1: started sponsoring our podcast, and I was, you know what,
- 5:03Speaker 1: I didn't believe, and I was critical right away. And
- 5:05Speaker 1: then I popped that first gummy into my mouth for
- 5:09Speaker 1: oh my gosh, so good, actually so good, so good,
- 5:15Speaker 1: and gummy bears. It really is. It tastes like it
- 5:20Speaker 1: tastes like blueberry and freedom in your mouth at once.
- 5:25Speaker 1: It really does. Yeah, And and so here's the thing.
- 5:27Speaker 1: I started popping these gummy bears one at a time.
- 5:30Speaker 1: I'm not don't don't, and I don't want to see
- 5:32Speaker 1: any tweets about me over using sugar Bear hair. I've
- 5:34Speaker 1: I've popped one or two at a time. It's fine.
- 5:37Speaker 1: But my hair is shiny, it's healthy, it's thick, it's fresh.
- 5:43Speaker 1: And and before I give my own little like spot
- 5:45Speaker 1: here because I do love them, and I'm gonna claim
- 5:47Speaker 1: everybody ou there would love him as well. Actually, I

- 7:02Speaker 1: what we can talk about how you know the side
- 7:05Speaker 1: effects on how nicer hair will be afterwards. But I
- 7:07Speaker 1: think the best way to explain sugar hair is just Hey, Ashley,
- 7:15Speaker 1: we've been talk about. I want to bring you into
- 7:18Speaker 1: this um when you can, but but actually I have
- 7:23Speaker 1: some stuff to to kind of hash out. Our producer
- 7:25Speaker 1: Amy's in studio to night because she's just she's such
- 7:28Speaker 1: a Bachelor fan. She hasn't missed an episode in twenty years.
- 7:30Speaker 1: She lives and dies with the show. Um. She's watched
- 7:34Speaker 1: tonight's episode and she self described this episode as one
- 7:37Speaker 1: of the saddest episodes the Sattist finales ever. And I
- 7:42Speaker 1: think that's how we start this well, because I don't
- 7:45Speaker 1: like to say I told you so, but I told
- 7:47Speaker 1: you so. I told you guys. I was worried about Blake,
- 7:50Speaker 1: and I was right the poor guy. So let's start
- 7:54Speaker 1: at the beginning here. Um, Ashley, please chime in where
- 7:57Speaker 1: you can. Week one, we recognized Blake as a front runner.
- 8:01Speaker 1: He's sweet, he's charming, he's good looking, he's nice, he's
- 8:05Speaker 1: a little you know, different, but he's definitely sensitive. And
- 8:08Speaker 1: we're like, this guy, if he is not the one
- 8:11Speaker 1: for Becca, he's either the Bachelor. He is a complete
- 8:14Speaker 1: frontner on this episode. Am I wrong, Ashley? Oh? Absolutely?
- 8:17Speaker 1: I met him, you know, during the first one on
- 8:20Speaker 1: one date of the season, and Becca was telling me
- 8:24Speaker 1: then she's like, this guy's going far. And he even
- 8:26Speaker 1: said I have a good idea that I'm going far.
- 8:28Speaker 1: What was that date? To refresh my that was the
- 8:30Speaker 1: little John date turned down for what where they crushed everything?
- 8:33Speaker 1: One of the best dates of the season. Yeah, that
- 8:36Speaker 1: seems like eight years ago. Yeah, there's been so much
- 8:42Speaker 1: Bachelor that since then. Um no, it's great, it's really terrific. Okay,
- 8:47Speaker 1: So we realized Blake back then was a front runner.
- 8:50Speaker 1: We liked him we loved him, we cared about him.
- 8:52Speaker 1: We knew there's some solid guys in this season, there's
- 8:54Speaker 1: never a question about that, but Blake stood out. He
- 8:57Speaker 1: we knew he was going to be around. So let's
- 8:59Speaker 1: lead up to the right. Let's skip over all the
- 9:01Speaker 1: dates in between, all the group dates, on the one
- 9:03Speaker 1: on one dates until really the kind of the last
- 9:06Speaker 1: three episodes we started to see Blake, and I know
- 9:08Speaker 1: we got a lot of criticism for it, um, but
- 9:11Speaker 1: this criticism, to me was endearing. So we always kind
- 9:14Speaker 1: of hold onto the respect of the show on this podcast.
- 9:17Speaker 1: We like the show, We enjoyed the show. We think
- 9:19Speaker 1: the shows is a solid way not only for entertainment,
- 9:22Speaker 1: but also it's it's a good way for people like
- 9:25Speaker 1: us to still discuss love. We like the show, will
- 9:29Speaker 1: always support the show. And so one thing we saw
- 9:32Speaker 1: with Blake was that this show, let's call it experience,
- 9:36Speaker 1: because the show seems a little bit um, the meaning
- 9:40Speaker 1: these this experience became very real for him and we
- 9:43Speaker 1: saw that about three week weeks ago when he really
- 9:45Speaker 1: started to get protective Rebecca totally. That's when everybody started
- 9:50Speaker 1: being like very polarized on Blake. I think beforehand, ever,
- 9:54Speaker 1: but he was like, oh I like Blake. Yeah, there's
- 9:55Speaker 1: nothing to not like. And then some people are like, oh,
- 9:58Speaker 1: he's too possessive, he's too control ling, and then there
- 10:01Speaker 1: are other and then he's too obsessed with the other guys,
- 10:03Speaker 1: and then there were the other people that just continued
- 10:06Speaker 1: to bake fan girl or boy over him even harder.
- 10:10Speaker 1: So Ashley, let me ask you this. Okay, you have
- 10:14Speaker 1: Blake there, he's in love. Let's I mean, we know
- 10:16Speaker 1: it today, right, and I don't want to go into
- 10:18Speaker 1: the finale yet. We're gonna stop pretty much now. We're
- 10:20Speaker 1: gonna go back to recapping Garrett's history at Becca. But
- 10:24Speaker 1: for the sake of this Blake segment that we're going
- 10:27Speaker 1: to call it before we hit our next spy here
- 10:30Speaker 1: is let's talk about Blake. Right, You're now engaged, You're
- 10:34Speaker 1: in love. You found a guy that protects you, that
- 10:36Speaker 1: loves you, that would bend over backwards for that would
- 10:39Speaker 1: lay his down life for you. Is that attractive? Is it?
- 10:45Speaker 1: Do you do you relate with Blake? Do you think
- 10:47Speaker 1: Jared would relate with Blake? Or was Blake just being crazy? Well,
- 10:51Speaker 1: Blake wasn't being crazy. I don't know if it's attractive.
- 10:55Speaker 1: I think it's different when he is your man. If
- 10:57Speaker 1: he's fighting to rear man, it comes off as desperate. Well,
- 11:01Speaker 1: that brings up the point that was so interesting. He
- 11:03Speaker 1: did what everyone does and asked, what did I do wrong?
- 11:07Speaker 1: So then what do you think? Nothing? You didn't do
- 11:11Speaker 1: anything wrong. There's just this more special connection with Garrett.
- 11:16Speaker 1: M M. Yeah, but I wonder three weeks ago she
- 11:19Speaker 1: would have said that. Really, Well, Ben's right because she said,
- 11:24Speaker 1: and I know we're I'm jumping ahead because I'm recapping
- 11:26Speaker 1: a little bit, but she said I sort of thought
- 11:30Speaker 1: it was you. I can't remember her quote exactly, but
- 11:36Speaker 1: Ben might be right. Yeah, that might be right. It's tough,
- 11:41Speaker 1: and so team listeners, let's take a second. Let's take
- 11:46Speaker 1: a breath together. Okay. On three, Let's take a deep breath,
- 11:48Speaker 1: focus real quick, and relate with Blake and Beck. Okay
- 11:51Speaker 1: on three, one, two, three. If we're all here, Okay,
- 12:00Speaker 1: he falls in love with Becca? Can we really expect
- 12:04Speaker 1: him to be rational? Logical? Can we really expect him
- 12:07Speaker 1: to handle this situation? Okay, and properly? Because love isn't
- 12:11Speaker 1: logical exactly, actually get it? And what did he do wrong?
- 12:17Speaker 1: It's true nothing, because there's just something we all know
- 12:22Speaker 1: how it is. We just sometimes the people want paper
- 12:25Speaker 1: are the people that you want to be with. And
- 12:28Speaker 1: his person is coming. Maybe he'll find her when he's
- 12:32Speaker 1: the bachelor. I don't know. We'll debate that in a
- 12:34Speaker 1: little bit. But it's like he won't know it until
- 12:38Speaker 1: it happens, do you know what I'm saying. Yeah, like
- 12:43Speaker 1: we ev all been in times of our lives where
- 12:45Speaker 1: we thought that this person was our person and just
- 12:48Speaker 1: then you look back years later and you're like, oh, heck, no,
- 12:51Speaker 1: it wasn't. So I'm sure he's gonna come to realize
- 12:53Speaker 1: that some at some point, hopefully soon. Yeah, we've all
- 12:56Speaker 1: been there. I have to say. We are currently recording
- 13:00Speaker 1: Wall after the Final Rose is being taped or aired
- 13:04Speaker 1: to the East Coast, so we don't really know what's
- 13:06Speaker 1: going on, but I am anxious to see how Blake
- 13:10Speaker 1: is when he sees Becca for the first time in
- 13:12Speaker 1: three months. Yeah. So I've got some insiders scooping. Oh, Ashley,
- 13:18Speaker 1: come on, I don't come on this podcast. I'm prepared
- 13:21Speaker 1: kind of ho um. Hey, So let's let's also say
- 13:26Speaker 1: this Becca, you know I've been a big fan of Becca.
- 13:29Speaker 1: We've claimed that I haven't been in love with her.
- 13:31Speaker 1: Crushed crush, crush, crushed crushed. Sorry, Um, yeah, we don't
- 13:36Speaker 1: throw the little love around love word around lightly here
- 13:39Speaker 1: on this podcast. Um, Becca didn't know wrong here. I mean,
- 13:43Speaker 1: she just knew that it was somebody else and she
- 13:45Speaker 1: followed those steps. But we're talking about Blake right now.
- 13:48Speaker 1: We're we're singling in and focusing on Blake. So Blake
- 13:51Speaker 1: knows he loves Becca, he's asked. He's reacting irrationally three
- 13:55Speaker 1: weeks ago leading up to today. Um, we're gonna stop there,
- 13:58Speaker 1: We're gonna backcheck. Now, let's talk about Garrett. Okay, So
- 14:01Speaker 1: Garrett's the other second, the one that's now engaged Tobecca.
- 14:05Speaker 1: Garrett came across this along, uh the storyline pretty late
- 14:10Speaker 1: in the process. Am I wrong here? Do you think? So?
- 14:13Speaker 1: I think that she liked him from my one? Okay,
- 14:17Speaker 1: he disappeared, that's true. A little bit the middle of
- 14:20Speaker 1: the season, You're like, I don't even know who that
- 14:22Speaker 1: guy is who's having a fight now with Chris peeling
- 14:25Speaker 1: back the curtain. Do we think knowing what we know
- 14:27Speaker 1: now that they edited him to disappear, to get that
- 14:30Speaker 1: Twitter thing to die down. Oh, Amy, Amy, in the
- 14:38Speaker 1: best way you can, Um, and a second tell us
- 14:42Speaker 1: about this Twitter thing. But before we do that, we're
- 14:44Speaker 1: gonna take a second. On the final episode of Rebecca,
- 14:50Speaker 1: we still don't know her last name was. I thought
- 14:52Speaker 1: it was coffin. I have never heard of bachelor, bachelor
- 14:57Speaker 1: at lead, never referred to I her last name the
- 15:01Speaker 1: way that Becca has. Not. Nobody on the show knows that.
- 15:04Speaker 1: Ask all our guests tonight and for our special show
- 15:07Speaker 1: that we're doing tomorrow, if anyone knows her chicken what
- 15:12Speaker 1: Becca's last name is. I'm writing this down so he's
- 15:16Speaker 1: not gonna know it. I bet he's gonna say, K Becca, K.
- 15:20Speaker 1: That's awesome, that's so good. Okay, Hey, here's the deal. Um,
- 15:24Speaker 1: it's our last episode of the season. Actually, we've done
- 15:26Speaker 1: it again, Amy, we've done it again. We've accomplished another
- 15:29Speaker 1: season without making too many big mistakes. We've gained more

- 15:42Speaker 1: them with this world and with the bachelor and with
- 15:44Speaker 1: our lives and everything good in between. And one of
- 15:48Speaker 1: the ways to do that is to talk about really

- 18:23Speaker 1: what happens, no matter what the future holds on a
- 18:26Speaker 1: beautiful love story that they put out there on national TV.
- 18:28Speaker 1: Can we give them alone? Yeah. And another thing that
- 18:31Speaker 1: we should totally mention is even if you thought Blake
- 18:34Speaker 1: was the best suitor for her, know that she knows
- 18:37Speaker 1: herself way better than you do. And and like I
- 18:42Speaker 1: remember Rachel told me a couple of weeks ago, she
- 18:43Speaker 1: was like, it was so unfair and rude to hear
- 18:46Speaker 1: so many people tell me that I made the wrong choice.
- 18:49Speaker 1: It's like, no, I think I know what the right
- 18:50Speaker 1: choice for myself is. Thank you very much, totally agree,
- 18:52Speaker 1: But this breakup was so Yeah, Amy before before we
- 18:59Speaker 1: get to the breakup, because I know you have strong
- 19:01Speaker 1: opinions on this. I know you're fired up over there
- 19:03Speaker 1: here little tonight. Yeah, you're in the studio seat of
- 19:07Speaker 1: they're bouncing up and down, just angry, your little red
- 19:09Speaker 1: right now, you're hiving out because you have Oh you're
- 19:14Speaker 1: so right, so right. Do you want me to do
- 19:22Speaker 1: a dramatic recreation quickly of the Blake Becca breakup? Yeah,
- 19:28Speaker 1: well let's do that before we really get into celebrating gear. Yeah.
- 19:30Speaker 1: If you should satisfied, then we'll get happy, all right, Amy,
- 19:34Speaker 1: take it away. Okay, I'm I'm paraphrasing a few things,
- 19:37Speaker 1: but this is the best I got. You made it
- 19:39Speaker 1: fun again. You made me know that I can fall
- 19:41Speaker 1: in love again. That was Becca. Then Blake said, basically crying,
- 19:47Speaker 1: I can't believe this. Oh my gosh, I didn't expect this.
- 19:50Speaker 1: I don't know what to say. I think you're making mistakes.
- 19:53Speaker 1: I don't think anyone can make you as happy as
- 19:56Speaker 1: I can. I was so wrong. You weren't wrong, though,
- 20:00Speaker 1: That's the thing. I was right there with you. I
- 20:02Speaker 1: was right there with you. What changed. There wasn't any
- 20:06Speaker 1: moment that I can say it changed. It's just who's
- 20:10Speaker 1: the best bit for you? I love you, goodbye? And
- 20:15Speaker 1: then water works. I mean, a grown man crying. It's
- 20:20Speaker 1: never easy. M We've all been there so sad, you know.
- 20:26Speaker 1: So that begs the question we're going to get into
- 20:28Speaker 1: the debate now? The only no, we're not going to
- 20:31Speaker 1: do it it. No, we got to talk about this first.
- 20:34Speaker 1: This might be the thing we're gonna talk about. Was
- 20:36Speaker 1: this the saddist finale we've seen in the last five years? Probably? Yeah.
- 20:42Speaker 1: The last time I saw something like this, well, the
- 20:46Speaker 1: last time that a goodbye was just so dramatic was
- 20:49Speaker 1: probably when Claire was kicked was, you know, dumped by
- 20:53Speaker 1: wam Pablo and she like told him off and it
- 20:56Speaker 1: was the most amazing thing of all time. But that
- 20:58Speaker 1: was anger, and this is madness. I mean during my season,
- 21:04Speaker 1: I had to change my shirt three times. I mean
- 21:06Speaker 1: the part I felt bad about for Blake was he
- 21:08Speaker 1: was so hot. It was just burning. I mean, the
- 21:11Speaker 1: poor guy, he was just sweating his his little cane.
- 21:15Speaker 1: So off. We don't we don't actually know. And let's
- 21:19Speaker 1: go back to your season. What is that like when
- 21:23Speaker 1: you have to break up with somebody on the end,
- 21:26Speaker 1: I know you did it the whole time, but like
- 21:27Speaker 1: that final thing when you're telling Joe, Joe, but it's tough,
- 21:33Speaker 1: it's really hard. So how it works out? As you
- 21:36Speaker 1: wake up in the morning, you know you're about to
- 21:37Speaker 1: propose to somebody, you're excited about the idea of that.
- 21:39Speaker 1: You know you're about to get engaged, and at the
- 21:41Speaker 1: time you believe it will last a lifetime and for
- 21:44Speaker 1: most I hope it does. For me, it didn't, um,
- 21:47Speaker 1: But I believe so many things today that made me go.
- 21:53Speaker 1: I know that said this is always a sad episode,
- 21:55Speaker 1: So it really is a sad episode because truthfully, I
- 21:57Speaker 1: don't care who you are, all right, let me protect
- 21:59Speaker 1: myself a little bit here. If you're at the final two,
- 22:02Speaker 1: you have feelings for both parties. You might call it love.
- 22:06Speaker 1: You might call it infatuation, you might call likeness, you
- 22:08Speaker 1: might call it appreciation. I called it love because I
- 22:11Speaker 1: loved two people. Sorry about it, I did, and I
- 22:15Speaker 1: think Becca felt that same way. I don't want to
- 22:17Speaker 1: speak for her, but at some point we'll bring it up,
- 22:19Speaker 1: we'll talk about it, but I know she's expressed it. Um.
- 22:25Speaker 1: And so at the end, you have two people you
- 22:26Speaker 1: cared deeply about one of those people you want to
- 22:29Speaker 1: spend a lifetime with the other one. You're confused on
- 22:32Speaker 1: why you're saying goodbye too, because you might just possibly
- 22:35Speaker 1: have never felt those feelings for anybody other than the
- 22:38Speaker 1: person you're about to propose to. So you might have
- 22:40Speaker 1: the two people you felt the most for and all
- 22:43Speaker 1: of your life standing there at the end knowing that
- 22:46Speaker 1: you're gonna have to say goodbye to one of them.
- 22:47Speaker 1: How do you do that? How do you do it successfully?
- 22:49Speaker 1: How do you do it with the clear conscious? How
- 22:53Speaker 1: do you fake that beginning part? Sorry? Ben, but you
- 22:56Speaker 1: guys kind of like don't come right out the second
- 22:59Speaker 1: day walk and go like sorry, it's not you. You well,
- 23:04Speaker 1: time out, time out. Amy. I have to disagree with
- 23:07Speaker 1: you a little bit, Ashley. I know you're staying quiet
- 23:09Speaker 1: because you have your own opinions. But let me time out.
- 23:14Speaker 1: Let me speak Rebecca for a little bit, let me
- 23:16Speaker 1: speak for myself, let me speak for the show. A
- 23:18Speaker 1: tad here, Okay, give me my second Okay, it's all yours. Um.
- 23:25Speaker 1: There is this idea, and so at the very end,
- 23:28Speaker 1: you have had no time to talk to family or friends,
- 23:32Speaker 1: confidence whatever, about this whole process. So at the very end,
- 23:37Speaker 1: you know you're about to propose to somebody. For me,
- 23:39Speaker 1: in my situation, I knew I was about to propose
- 23:41Speaker 1: to somebody that I really wanted to spend my life with,
- 23:43Speaker 1: like I really wanted to spend my life with, and
- 23:45Speaker 1: I was excited about it, but I wanted to do
- 23:47Speaker 1: it right. I wanted to break up with this person
- 23:49Speaker 1: correctly because I cared about Jojo, and I wanted to
- 23:52Speaker 1: propose to Lauren correctly because I cared about Lauren, and
- 23:54Speaker 1: I knew that was the foundation to the future at
- 23:56Speaker 1: which we're gonna be together. So you in there and
- 24:01Speaker 1: you also realize that you're gonna say goodbye to your
- 24:04Speaker 1: second place person, that I was going to say goodbye
- 24:06Speaker 1: to Jojo, that Becca was going to say goodbye to Blake,
- 24:08Speaker 1: and you know that you were moving on from them,
- 24:11Speaker 1: happily moving on from them. And the last thing you
- 24:13Speaker 1: can offer them is a moment to have their stage,
- 24:16Speaker 1: to have their platform, to speak for themselves, to share
- 24:19Speaker 1: what's on their heart, and so that maybe, just maybe
- 24:22Speaker 1: America will fall in love with them all over again
- 24:24Speaker 1: and see that they're hurt, they're broken, that they're ready
- 24:28Speaker 1: for love, that they need to find love, and who knows,
- 24:31Speaker 1: maybe the show will be the platform at which they
- 24:33Speaker 1: pursue love again or perhaps it's not. But as you
- 24:39Speaker 1: stand there and you know you're about to break up
- 24:42Speaker 1: with somebody, Amy and Ashley, at that moment's not about you.
- 24:45Speaker 1: It's not about the bachelor Bachelor. It's about that person,
- 24:48Speaker 1: and it's about giving them their time to have their
- 24:50Speaker 1: stage for the one last five minutes that they're able
- 24:53Speaker 1: to have it. Wow. That was quite the monologue, man,
- 24:58Speaker 1: And from it all right, yeah, yeah, but from it
- 25:01Speaker 1: I asked this because I feel like that was just
- 25:03Speaker 1: like some grand way of like presenting our debate, right
- 25:07Speaker 1: it was Okay, well, you have to argue, is the
- 25:11Speaker 1: next Bachelor Bachelorette determined on who is going to create
- 25:17Speaker 1: the best TV show or who was the most hurt
- 25:20Speaker 1: at the end of the previous season. Okay, let me
- 25:22Speaker 1: ask you guys this, Let me throw it to you. Okay,
- 25:25Speaker 1: this has been a question that was just throwing in
- 25:26Speaker 1: my way by a listener recently, and I don't know
- 25:28Speaker 1: how to answer. It was a listener at the Denver
- 25:31Speaker 1: Vintage Market, Great Market, fair enough, gennerous, is there a
- 25:35Speaker 1: lot of almost famous fans. It's actually crazy that nowadays
- 25:38Speaker 1: I get more almost famous fans then Hey, were you
- 25:40Speaker 1: the Bachelor? Same? It's so weird, it's so cool. I
- 25:44Speaker 1: can answer to this. I have an answer to the
- 25:47Speaker 1: thank you for my range over anyway, Okay, will you
- 25:53Speaker 1: and and hey don't I will not take a fence
- 25:55Speaker 1: of this. I promise you. I'm I'm putting up this
- 25:57Speaker 1: friendship boundary now and saying I really want you to
- 25:59Speaker 1: to answer this fair. Okay, Okay, we're gonna ready come
- 26:02Speaker 1: up in the Bachelor season, So let's be bachelor specific.
- 26:05Speaker 1: In the last five years, who was the most authentic
- 26:07Speaker 1: genuine Bachelor's you? Who else? Named name too? You know?
- 26:12Speaker 1: I think Crys Souls, yeahs who out of the last
- 26:16Speaker 1: five years said the best ratings you? And then Chris Souls,
- 26:21Speaker 1: Nick file U t I don't think so. No, it's true.
- 26:25Speaker 1: Trust me, it's very true. Man. I think it's there's
- 26:28Speaker 1: a certain rating. It may have done better in that
- 26:30Speaker 1: age group, but I think overall, the amount of people
- 26:34Speaker 1: that want can we get Ashley on that? Actually? Can
- 26:36Speaker 1: you please research in the last five years who had
- 26:38Speaker 1: the best Bachelor ratings overall. I will try and find
- 26:41Speaker 1: that out right now, that's that's assistinated to me. He's
- 26:44Speaker 1: actually he's talking, so she went downstairs for something. But
- 26:47Speaker 1: I'm going to try and find that out. But I
- 26:49Speaker 1: want to answer quickly Ashley's question and see what you
- 26:51Speaker 1: guys think. You know how she said, do we pick
- 26:53Speaker 1: the Bachelor based on what were your two? It was
- 26:56Speaker 1: based on who was hurt in the previous season the most,
- 26:59Speaker 1: or who's going to give that's the best entertainment. I
- 27:01Speaker 1: think it's who do the producers think America cares about
- 27:07Speaker 1: the most, right, That's what I think. But so you
- 27:10Speaker 1: don't think it has to do with who the girls
- 27:13Speaker 1: may be the craziest overpe, I don't. I think it's
- 27:19Speaker 1: like I think they're watching right now to see how
- 27:21Speaker 1: America feels about Blake. And if America, like I think
- 27:24Speaker 1: they will, is going to be like, oh my god,
- 27:27Speaker 1: he's devastated, He's everything, like holy cow, and it's all
- 27:33Speaker 1: this swell, he will be the Bachelor. So you know
- 27:36Speaker 1: it was interesting is last week when Jason left the studio,
- 27:39Speaker 1: I wrote a tweet that said, if you had to
- 27:41Speaker 1: choose between Garrett Blake and Jason being the bachelor? Who
- 27:44Speaker 1: would you want to be the bachelor? And I believe
- 27:46Speaker 1: that Jason got like six percent of the vote. It'll
- 27:49Speaker 1: be interesting if I do the exact same tweet tomorrow night,
- 27:54Speaker 1: because that was his moment. But here's my debate for
- 27:58Speaker 1: you too. If Colton shines on Paradise, he will be
- 28:04Speaker 1: the bat based on season on the first episode, I
- 28:06Speaker 1: don't think he's shining. That's tomorrow. I'm not too worried
- 28:11Speaker 1: about that. And what do you think, Why you've got
- 28:13Speaker 1: to do that? Why do you think they picked you?
- 28:16Speaker 1: Why do they pick me? They felt bad for me,
- 28:18Speaker 1: Oh my god, the unlovable one, the unlovable one. They
- 28:22Speaker 1: just were like, this poor bastard. He is he's he's hey,
- 28:26Speaker 1: he's a fine gentleman. He tries really hard and he
- 28:29Speaker 1: needs a lot of help. So let's make him the
- 28:31Speaker 1: bachelor and just use and abuse this poor guy until
- 28:34Speaker 1: we find him love. And then all of a sudden,
- 28:36Speaker 1: it spit me out in the place it did, And
- 28:38Speaker 1: now I'm on a podcast talking about the Bachelors for you,
- 28:43Speaker 1: it's so excellent, it's unbelievable. Oh my god. Hey, all right,
- 28:49Speaker 1: let's take a second, because we do this. We've tend
- 28:51Speaker 1: to do it year over a year. This is now.
- 28:53Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how many seasons of this
- 28:56Speaker 1: awesome show we've done, but this is our biggest and
- 29:00Speaker 1: as a podcast, Um, outside of the criticism that we
- 29:03Speaker 1: give their the contestants, which we will continue to do,
- 29:06Speaker 1: because whilse do we watch the show is we skip
- 29:10Speaker 1: over the love story year over year over year over
- 29:13Speaker 1: year and we move on to the next season on
- 29:14Speaker 1: who's gonna be the Bachelor, Who's gonna be the Bachelor?
- 29:16Speaker 1: Ad or whatever. Can we take a second, please, and
- 29:19Speaker 1: let's let's all share opinions on the Garrett Becca relationship.
- 29:24Speaker 1: But let me start with the first question and I'm
- 29:26Speaker 1: going to guide this whole interview here. UM, did you
- 29:29Speaker 1: see this one coming? Yeah? Yeah? What you like most
- 29:34Speaker 1: about Garrett? I like that he is just seems so
- 29:39Speaker 1: easy to be around and he's just like a man's man,
- 29:43Speaker 1: and I think that's what she was looking for. Does
- 29:47Speaker 1: this relationship last? M I don't know enough of him yet.
- 29:52Speaker 1: I don't know enough I think I could definitely. I'm
- 29:55Speaker 1: rooting for it. I really really hope. So I feel
- 29:57Speaker 1: like the audience didn't get to see the kind of
- 30:03Speaker 1: I didn't we didn't get to see a ton of Garrett,
- 30:05Speaker 1: didn't we not? Do you want to know why? I
- 30:06Speaker 1: think she picked Garrett? And and here's the thing, I'm
- 30:10Speaker 1: gonna go on a limb here and say, I think
- 30:12Speaker 1: it should be the number one thing in a relationship attraction.
- 30:16Speaker 1: I think she has always been most attracted to him.
- 30:19Speaker 1: Their body language. Like I'm looking at still photos right
- 30:22Speaker 1: now from the finale tonight of them on their final
- 30:25Speaker 1: date on that ocean boat or whatever it was. The
- 30:28Speaker 1: body language. I think they have the most chemistry. And
- 30:31Speaker 1: I do think, and people can argue with me that
- 30:34Speaker 1: that's number one in a relationship. I think it should
- 30:37Speaker 1: be because I think that's what makes it laugh. It's
- 30:39Speaker 1: the unspoken nous between the two people that is the
- 30:42Speaker 1: most important thing. So Ashley and Amy, because I honestly,
- 30:47Speaker 1: and I'm all for judging this, I I just can't hear.
- 30:51Speaker 1: I just don't know how is Garrett an attractive man?
- 30:54Speaker 1: Is he? Yeah, don't be one of those guys Ben
- 30:57Speaker 1: who goes I don't know what attractive man. I think
- 31:00Speaker 1: Blake is a smoke show. I think Jason has the
- 31:03Speaker 1: hair of a Greek god. And I think Colton has
- 31:06Speaker 1: muscles that will make a man per But when it
- 31:09Speaker 1: comes to Garrett, I don't. I mean, I think he's
- 31:13Speaker 1: a good looking dude. Obviously he's a good looking guy.
- 31:15Speaker 1: We're not questioning that. I think he's But does he
- 31:17Speaker 1: stand out amongst the crowd in the Bachelor world? And honestly,
- 31:22Speaker 1: I think, I mean, he's probably a nice guy. I
- 31:24Speaker 1: would probably tell him he doesn't. He's like me, like,
- 31:26Speaker 1: he doesn't stand out. He probably has a great personality,
- 31:29Speaker 1: but he doesn't stand out of a bachelor crap stand
- 31:33Speaker 1: Jared stands out Jared. Jared has the jawline that looks
- 31:37Speaker 1: like it was formed out of clay. You don't have
- 31:39Speaker 1: to have like a one feature to make you stand out,
- 31:41Speaker 1: like you're beautiful. You're a great looking man. Garrett's a
- 31:44Speaker 1: great looking man. Jared's the best looking man. I agree
- 31:49Speaker 1: with then, and that he's not in the Bachelor we
- 31:53Speaker 1: lined up all the dudes. Is he, by the book,
- 31:58Speaker 1: the most handsome. I think he was to her. I
- 32:02Speaker 1: go back to what I said, she was very attracted
- 32:05Speaker 1: to him, and they had chemistry, pheromones, whatever you want
- 32:10Speaker 1: to call it something. That's what I think there's something
- 32:14Speaker 1: because People magazine is just releasing their photo shoot you
- 32:18Speaker 1: know how you did that, and there's some connection, chemistry,
- 32:23Speaker 1: whatever it is, attraction, right, they look right, they do.
- 32:27Speaker 1: I'll give him that. Okay. So here's the other thing
- 32:30Speaker 1: Geary doesn't have going for him is it's not his
- 32:33Speaker 1: lack of good looks, because we can't judge somebody solely
- 32:36Speaker 1: on their good looks. It's the fact that we've all
- 32:38Speaker 1: agreed Becca's might have had the best the best looking
- 32:41Speaker 1: Final four. I mean, you will claim obviously since Caitlin.
- 32:46Speaker 1: Actually because you're in love with the fourth place person
- 32:50Speaker 1: and in love with the third place person to let's
- 32:52Speaker 1: be honest, um, in a different way, Becca has one
- 32:56Speaker 1: of the best looking final four has ever. I agree.
- 32:58Speaker 1: I agree with that. Yeah, they're they're hot guys. Yeah,
- 33:02Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think there but charming in
- 33:06Speaker 1: their own way. Yeah, they were none of them. You're
- 33:09Speaker 1: not like any of them. None of them were like
- 33:11Speaker 1: asked you know what I mean, where you're like that
- 33:13Speaker 1: guy's a tool. None of them were tools. None of
- 33:16Speaker 1: them were like they were all solids. I agree. So
- 33:21Speaker 1: let's say this. Yeah, I mean, and we have more
- 33:24Speaker 1: to talk about here. But before we take another break, um,
- 33:27Speaker 1: let's say this. Would you Ashley and you Amy consider
- 33:32Speaker 1: this season because we've been critical here recently, would you
- 33:36Speaker 1: consider this season of The Bachelor at a success? Well,
- 33:39Speaker 1: I mean I think that the success is usually determined
- 33:41Speaker 1: on whether or not they last. I don't think it's
- 33:45Speaker 1: entertained entertainment of this season of The Bachelor A were
- 33:49Speaker 1: you entertained? Mediocreally? After I watched last night, after I
- 33:54Speaker 1: watched the parent episode, I was like, oh, this is
- 33:58Speaker 1: how I used to feel when everyone watches Paradise tomorrow,
- 34:01Speaker 1: They're going to be so pumped. So here's what I'll
- 34:03Speaker 1: say about Becca quickly started off slow, slow, slow. Then
- 34:10Speaker 1: there were a few weeks there when it got down
- 34:12Speaker 1: to maybe like eight dudes, six guys on something like that,
- 34:16Speaker 1: where I started to really like it. So I just
- 34:18Speaker 1: think she had a slow start. Okay, let's me let
- 34:22Speaker 1: me try this scale of one to ten. No, let's
- 34:26Speaker 1: do it. We can all relate with the a's through
- 34:28Speaker 1: s A through F F being the worst being the best,
- 34:32Speaker 1: sees being with being got in college? What grade do
- 34:37Speaker 1: you give Becca as the Bachelor at? Didn't we do
- 34:40Speaker 1: this last week? Sure, let's do it again this because
- 34:43Speaker 1: I didn't chime in last week because I was not well,
- 34:45Speaker 1: then you chime in because I don't want to judge
- 34:48Speaker 1: it as it was just Becca, because like Becca, it's
- 34:51Speaker 1: it's not judging her. I'm just judging the overall season
- 34:55Speaker 1: from what I watched of Paradise for tomorrow. I'm gonna
- 34:58Speaker 1: give that. And I would give this season of The
- 35:06Speaker 1: Bachelorette a beating. Yeah, but I watched it, and I
- 35:12Speaker 1: think everybody should one it just it just makes us
- 35:18Speaker 1: all of the Joejoe Fletchers, the Caitlin Bristows, the Rachel
- 35:23Speaker 1: Lindsay's of the world. A little bit Hey, still coming
- 35:26Speaker 1: up on this podcast, we have a huge episode still

- 35:41Speaker 1: there listening is going, oh my gosh, this is the
- 35:43Speaker 1: best podcast ever. And honestly, we would agree. We think
- 35:47Speaker 1: it's absolutely incredible, but we're not done yet. We've got
- 35:50Speaker 1: a lot to talk about. This is almost famous podcast.
- 35:52Speaker 1: There's no ending in sight. I mean it's almost midnight
- 35:56Speaker 1: here and we're still talking. We're gonna talk all night because,
- 35:59Speaker 1: let's fake face it. We talked about the Bachelor and
- 36:01Speaker 1: Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise starts tomorrow, and we're so
- 36:05Speaker 1: excited that we might just pull an all night air
- 36:07Speaker 1: to talk about it all. But before we do that,
- 36:09Speaker 1: I gotta tell you about the upcoming guests on this podcast.
- 36:11Speaker 1: We still have David the chicken suit guy coming up
- 36:14Speaker 1: very very soon. I mean, I'm gonna blast him again.
- 36:16Speaker 1: I'm not holding back. Actually he did again during mental
- 36:20Speaker 1: The little thing is like I could not stand him
- 36:21Speaker 1: on TV, but when he's right next to you, you're like, oh,
- 36:24Speaker 1: you're so nervous and like sweet that like I can't
- 36:26Speaker 1: really there's I can't. I can't not like you. You're
- 36:29Speaker 1: you're likable. You're likable and not likable with the same way.
- 36:32Speaker 1: It's like the weirdest thing. It's so weird. It's like
- 36:35Speaker 1: one of the it's like one of your good friends.
- 36:38Speaker 1: I I look at David as a friend now even
- 36:40Speaker 1: though we've met once. It's like, if I had a
- 36:42Speaker 1: friend like David, I'm gonna criticize him. I'm gonna make
- 36:45Speaker 1: sure he becomes a better person because I know it's
- 36:48Speaker 1: in there. He just needs that like little kick in
- 36:50Speaker 1: the butt, a little slap on the back and say, David,
- 36:54Speaker 1: you're a good looking guy. I mean, you've got great apps,
- 36:57Speaker 1: you've got a good personality, You're as smart as a whip.
- 36:59Speaker 1: I'm near us intell just a nice face. He's he's
- 37:03Speaker 1: got a sweet I just can't handle himself on screen,
- 37:09Speaker 1: so he's got him want on, far far away. But
- 37:11Speaker 1: actually there's somebody that handles himself on screen really well.
- 37:14Speaker 1: And that's one of our guests coming up in the
- 37:16Speaker 1: podcast later, Robbie. Yeah, but not Robbie has Robbie Castaways.
- 37:21Speaker 1: It would make totals, nixed, total sense for ABC to
- 37:23Speaker 1: have Bachelor in Paradise where you're basically stranded on a
- 37:27Speaker 1: romantic island and then follow it with Castaways. Yeah, Robbie
- 37:32Speaker 1: you out there, I'm here and you just you just
- 37:35Speaker 1: cracked me up, like that was really funny, because really, well,
- 37:40Speaker 1: thank you, I didn't think it was that funny. Thanks
- 37:42Speaker 1: for THEO. You're going from one island extreme to another
- 37:45Speaker 1: island extreme. So it makes to me tell us about
- 37:49Speaker 1: thank you for lashing laughing at Ashley. We we usually
- 37:52Speaker 1: like to laugh at ourselves. We're really gotta laughing at
- 37:54Speaker 1: each other. But when we have a guest that comes
- 37:56Speaker 1: on that starts out by laughing, I think actually I
- 37:58Speaker 1: both get a little We're fans of you, are arty.
- 38:00Speaker 1: I mean, you could hang up right now. We're gonna
- 38:01Speaker 1: we're gonna talk good about you for the rest of
- 38:03Speaker 1: the season. Well, honestly, I mean what she said was funny.
- 38:07Speaker 1: I mean it really was. You must laugh easily. Um, Yeah,
- 38:11Speaker 1: I do like to laugh, you know, I'm smiling right now.
- 38:15Speaker 1: I do. I do like to laugh, especially when you
- 38:17Speaker 1: hate to laugh. I hate to be happy. You need
- 38:19Speaker 1: to laugh, Yeah, no doubt, Okay, Robbie, tell us about Castaways.
- 38:24Speaker 1: What's the premise, Oh, Castaways? My gosh, um we are
- 38:29Speaker 1: there's twelve of us. There's twelve ordinary ordinary folks. Um.
- 38:34Speaker 1: Whether our stories are really really complicated, whether we're just
- 38:38Speaker 1: you know, at home moms, or whether you're an overweight
- 38:42Speaker 1: Jim coach like myself, and we are set up in
- 38:47Speaker 1: a disaster situation. Okay, we are in Indonesia, and I
- 38:54Speaker 1: mean if you can imagine a twenty mile radiants of
- 39:00Speaker 1: lands and islands, they may be a mile apart, you know,
- 39:02Speaker 1: they may be barely able to see, you know, way
- 39:05Speaker 1: off in the distance. Um. And we were dropped and
- 39:10Speaker 1: with nothing but the clothes on our back. I am
- 39:14Speaker 1: not a survivalist in the least sense. UM, I don't
- 39:19Speaker 1: you know, I I just here I am. And yeah, okay,
- 39:26Speaker 1: so that's that's gonna be a big that's gonna be
- 39:28Speaker 1: a huge part of the show as the why. Um
- 39:32Speaker 1: And and for me, I'll answer that for myself is
- 39:36Speaker 1: you know I was I was really overweight. UM. I
- 39:40Speaker 1: actually saw the scales fit at four or four. I
- 39:42Speaker 1: got a picture of it on my website for proof.
- 39:44Speaker 1: People want proof, you know, they want proof and um
- 39:49Speaker 1: And you know, I I banged around around three seventy
- 39:52Speaker 1: five five. I think I was actually three nine when
- 39:57Speaker 1: I got on the airplane to um to fly to Indonesia.
- 40:01Speaker 1: So you know, but what ten pounds when you're that big, right,
- 40:05Speaker 1: you know, it's nothing, you know, it's it's nothing. Um.
- 40:10Speaker 1: But that was my why I thought that this was
- 40:14Speaker 1: a way to step out of my comfort zone. Great,
- 40:18Speaker 1: great things don't happen in comfort zone. Yeah. Um, was
- 40:23Speaker 1: there a different why for everyone who was part of
- 40:25Speaker 1: the cast. Yeah, I would think so. Because it was
- 40:30Speaker 1: not a weight loss show. I mean we we need
- 40:32Speaker 1: to make sure that there was not a weight loss show.
- 40:34Speaker 1: There was no personal trainer hiding behind the tree, or
- 40:37Speaker 1: there wasn't a scale that they had, you know, tucked away.
- 40:41Speaker 1: It was real. It was a real authentic here we go.
- 40:45Speaker 1: What are you gonna do? And why do you want
- 40:47Speaker 1: to survive? The reason someone went on, um, well, okay, uh,
- 40:55Speaker 1: they're a struggling music artist there. They're struggling, you know,
- 40:59Speaker 1: music artists trying to make it in the music industry.
- 41:01Speaker 1: How would that help them? Being stranded? You know, I
- 41:06Speaker 1: think it? Yeah, I mean I was trying to like,
- 41:09Speaker 1: you know, get around that. But yeah, you know, stepping
- 41:13Speaker 1: out of your comfort zone and you know, facing your
- 41:16Speaker 1: fears and you know, you know all those cliches that
- 41:21Speaker 1: I mean, we all have it. So it sounds like
- 41:23Speaker 1: Naked and Afraid. It sounds like the show Naked Afraid
- 41:25Speaker 1: where you kind of have to survive it, like twenty
- 41:28Speaker 1: Days out in the Wild by yourself, but you had clothes. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 41:32Speaker 1: let's make sure that we tell everyone that four hunder
- 41:36Speaker 1: pound dude was not naked. Um, hey, Robby, let's be
- 41:42Speaker 1: clear here, man, that was not holding me back from
- 41:44Speaker 1: watching the show. Thank you so much, and I mean
- 41:47Speaker 1: that good. Um, and I do appreciate that. Uh you
- 41:52Speaker 1: would not turn the channel but no so, but it
- 41:55Speaker 1: was not shut up like that because you could. We
- 42:01Speaker 1: didn't know there was people looking for us, obviously, but
- 42:05Speaker 1: we didn't know like how many days. I had no
- 42:08Speaker 1: idea if if it would be two days or you
- 42:12Speaker 1: like you said, twenty one days. No one told us
- 42:15Speaker 1: that we didn't know going in a Yeah, like what's
- 42:18Speaker 1: the point of all this? And are you competing? Are
- 42:21Speaker 1: are we just watching you all try to survive? Yeah,
- 42:24Speaker 1: it's it's about it's about survival. It's about Uh, there's
- 42:29Speaker 1: no pride here, no, no, no, well there is for me.
- 42:35Speaker 1: You know, you're personally gratified through the gratitude I need
- 42:38Speaker 1: a cool million alright, Hey, but you know, just like
- 42:44Speaker 1: on Bachelor and bachelore it, I mean, what's the pride? Yeah,
- 42:47Speaker 1: it's love and then it's just like self love here
- 42:50Speaker 1: right now, I love well, the same thing. Listen, y'all,
- 42:53Speaker 1: I have lost a person. I have lost a hundred
- 42:56Speaker 1: and seven seven pounds. You're telling you this now. It
- 43:04Speaker 1: was not a weight loss show. I did not simply
- 43:06Speaker 1: go on there and lose a hundred seventy seven pounds.
- 43:10Speaker 1: But whatever happened clicked in my brain. And when I
- 43:14Speaker 1: came back to this great state of the United States
- 43:17Speaker 1: where there's fast food and running water and cell phones
- 43:20Speaker 1: and technology, and you have all those things again, I
- 43:24Speaker 1: still made it. So I don't care what you think
- 43:26Speaker 1: of Robbie when you watched the show, honestly, because I'll
- 43:29Speaker 1: stand up in front of you and say, look, I
- 43:32Speaker 1: have one. I mean, I am in a better place physically,
- 43:36Speaker 1: mentally and socially. I have balanced here, you know, and
- 43:39Speaker 1: I was in a bad way, y'all. So Robbie, let
- 43:43Speaker 1: me tell you this because I think you and I
- 43:44Speaker 1: think I mean, I haven't seen you yet, I can
- 43:48Speaker 1: feel your energy. You're such a sweetness. Yeah, Robbie's a
- 43:52Speaker 1: good dude. We like like I'm a good looking guy too.
- 43:56Speaker 1: I mean, I'm looking at pictures on Google right now.
- 43:59Speaker 1: Yes you are, Robbie, Yes you are. Birmingham, Alabama, Robbie
- 44:03Speaker 1: Gibbons for age forty two pounds of just Lean Mean
- 44:07Speaker 1: Fighting Machine. Um, I mean, I would say that you're
- 44:12Speaker 1: hitting something that we need to focus on for a second,
- 44:14Speaker 1: because I think it's gonna make sense for our listeners.
- 44:18Speaker 1: When you do stuff like this, it doesn't always make sense.
- 44:21Speaker 1: It doesn't always need to make sense. Sometimes you're saying
- 44:23Speaker 1: yes to these things based on an intuition, based on
- 44:27Speaker 1: the fact that life is just kind of aligned for
- 44:29Speaker 1: you to have the ability to say yes and see
- 44:32Speaker 1: where it takes you. You You don't know if you're gonna
- 44:33Speaker 1: lose a ton of weight. For me and my faith,
- 44:37Speaker 1: I believe in Jesus, and I believe that Jesus was saying, Hey,
- 44:39Speaker 1: every door is wide open for you to try the
- 44:42Speaker 1: Bachelor and if it works, great, If it doesn't, it's
- 44:45Speaker 1: going to open up a whole new life that you
- 44:47Speaker 1: were intended to pursue. And so for you, Robbie Gibbons,
- 44:51Speaker 1: age forty pounds from Birmingham and Obama, Lean Mean Fighting Machine,
- 44:56Speaker 1: You're saying you said yes because you knew this was
- 45:00Speaker 1: a change of pays, a change of life, and at
- 45:03Speaker 1: this point in your life, you needed that change to
- 45:06Speaker 1: make life a little bit better. Well said, you know,
- 45:10Speaker 1: Joseph Campbell said, maybe the journey isn't about becoming anything.
- 45:14Speaker 1: Maybe it's about unbecoming everything that you were meant to be.
- 45:18Speaker 1: In the first place of wisdom, it's it's real. I mean,
- 45:24Speaker 1: it is so real. And whatever your faith is. When
- 45:27Speaker 1: you watch the show, I mean you've got blotched the show.
- 45:29Speaker 1: When you watch it, you're gonna sit there and go,
- 45:31Speaker 1: oh my gosh, that is produced. There's no way that
- 45:34Speaker 1: really happens. You know, the show Law, it's being compared
- 45:37Speaker 1: a lot Loss. It's like a real life law And
- 45:43Speaker 1: although Loss was not a reality show, it was film
- 45:47Speaker 1: documentary style where they did flashbacks. And what this show
- 45:51Speaker 1: does is it's going to show parallels between my life
- 45:57Speaker 1: here in Birmingham, Alabama and things that took place on
- 46:02Speaker 1: the island. And it's going to be mind blowing the
- 46:06Speaker 1: parallels and the things that happened. You're gonna question it
- 46:09Speaker 1: and you're gonna go, no way that's produced. And I'm
- 46:11Speaker 1: telling you listen, no one shat there and coached me one.
- 46:16Speaker 1: There was not a Chinese There wasn't a Chinese buffet
- 46:19Speaker 1: that was on the other side of the island hidden
- 46:21Speaker 1: behind the bush, or you know, you know, the bottles
- 46:24Speaker 1: of water didn't just magically come washing up on shore.
- 46:28Speaker 1: None of that happened. When you've found and and and
- 46:31Speaker 1: when you watch the advertising, they do a lot of that. Well,
- 46:34Speaker 1: you can quit whenever you want, and you know that's true.
- 46:37Speaker 1: But you know, I'm a gym coach and I I
- 46:40Speaker 1: worked with the youth kids and all that, and I
- 46:42Speaker 1: really believe that's a better way to say it for
- 46:45Speaker 1: me is you could be rescued whenever you want it,
- 46:48Speaker 1: Like when you found what you were really searching for,
- 46:51Speaker 1: when you know you're like, okay, I'm good now I'm
- 46:53Speaker 1: gonna go back and we're gonna make this thing work.
- 46:56Speaker 1: You know, that's that you could rescue yourself whenever you
- 46:59Speaker 1: want it. So um, but that's the premise. That's the
- 47:02Speaker 1: premise of the show. It's gorgeous. We're on we're stranded,
- 47:06Speaker 1: total third party dropped. You know, no idea where people are.
- 47:09Speaker 1: We we do know up until the commercials where it
- 47:14Speaker 1: said twelve people, I really didn't know for sure how
- 47:19Speaker 1: many people were out there. All right, Robbie, Robbie, this
- 47:22Speaker 1: is incredible and you're hitting on it. I don't want
- 47:24Speaker 1: you to to explain too much here, We're gonna give you.
- 47:27Speaker 1: Um this is my favorite game to play with our
- 47:29Speaker 1: guests because you're obviously awesome, You've got a lot of you,
- 47:33Speaker 1: and I'm a big fanny. I'm gonna watch this. I
- 47:35Speaker 1: love lost. You've got twenty seconds. I've got literally twenty
- 47:40Speaker 1: seconds to sell our listeners on why they should watch Castways.
- 47:43Speaker 1: This is all writing on your shoulders. Ready, Ethan Or
- 47:48Speaker 1: Easton's got the clock ready. Easton's an incredible town of
- 47:51Speaker 1: young man who works our podcast. By the way, He's
- 47:53Speaker 1: not just some random standing in the room. So Robbie,
- 47:57Speaker 1: on the count of three, you've got twenty kents, one, two, three,
- 48:02Speaker 1: go Well. The first reason you're gonna watch this new show,
- 48:06Speaker 1: Castaways that air tomorrow is because I am absolutely amazing
- 48:10Speaker 1: and awesome and I'm gorgeous. And the second reason is
- 48:13Speaker 1: because of all the parallels that happened from that island
- 48:18Speaker 1: life into real life. And you are going to fall
- 48:20Speaker 1: in love with at least one, two or three of
- 48:23Speaker 1: these characters, and you're going to find yourself within them.
- 48:26Speaker 1: It's going to be your weekli escape. You're going to
- 48:30Speaker 1: find your thing on that island. Robbie, you sold us.
- 48:36Speaker 1: I'm watching watching, I'm not even lying. I'm not saying
- 48:40Speaker 1: this because you're on the podcast. I'm actually gonna watch
- 48:42Speaker 1: tomorrow real life, your real life. Oh look, you went

- 57:52Speaker 1: describe myself once again. How do you feel about that? David?
- 57:56Speaker 1: Just then, I'm gonna cut out. Ashley has a lot
- 57:58Speaker 1: to talk to you about um. But but you and
- 58:01Speaker 1: I I feel like this is a moment that let's
- 58:03Speaker 1: pretend that nobody's listening, that everybody has been taken away
- 58:07Speaker 1: from this podcast. This is you and I as friends,
- 58:09Speaker 1: sitting together, sharing glass of bourbon, talking life. David. I mean,
- 58:14Speaker 1: I just I just feel the disappointment spewing from you
- 58:19Speaker 1: right now, and it just makes me feel I don't
- 58:23Speaker 1: like it. That's all I need you to feel. That's
- 58:25Speaker 1: what I want you to feel. And with that, I'm
- 58:27Speaker 1: gonna pass you off, actually actually take him away. All right.
- 58:31Speaker 1: We can't talk too much about Bachelor in Paradise because
- 58:34Speaker 1: that's really reserved for tomorrow. But we want to know
- 58:39Speaker 1: what you think are the main things we're going to
- 58:41Speaker 1: see in episode one? What are we going to see
- 58:45Speaker 1: in episode one? I mean we're going to definitely see
- 58:47Speaker 1: a lot of cold in Pia. Yes, she's so much
- 58:51Speaker 1: she she is the leading lady of episode one. But
- 58:54Speaker 1: I was never bored with it. I ate up every second.
- 58:59Speaker 1: It's great Peavy and they were great entertainment. And was
- 59:03Speaker 1: it just Colton intire or was there someone else into here?
- 59:06Speaker 1: I mean there was someone else. Also, love triangle. It's
- 59:11Speaker 1: a nice little love triangle that we get to see
- 59:13Speaker 1: in the first episode. So we see a lot of that,
- 59:16Speaker 1: and I think we get to see a lot of
- 59:17Speaker 1: every I'm getting to know each other right off the bat,
- 59:19Speaker 1: and it was pretty fun. We had a great time
- 59:22Speaker 1: getting to know each other on the first couple of days,
- 59:23Speaker 1: so I think it'll be fun to wash. We saw
- 59:26Speaker 1: you interact with Jordan's for the first time since your
- 59:29Speaker 1: showdown in the desert on your two on one, and uh,
- 59:33Speaker 1: you guys seem to get along all right. Yeah, I mean, look,
- 59:37Speaker 1: I got left in the desert just like you actually
- 59:40Speaker 1: and we yeah, Jordan, I uh, you know, really like
- 59:44Speaker 1: to kind of put things in the past. It is
- 59:46Speaker 1: what it is. And uh, yeah, we we got along
- 59:49Speaker 1: in Mexico a little bit. So even though they stage
- 59:51Speaker 1: it as like, you know, the chicken is meeting like
- 59:53Speaker 1: the Golden Underwear Man again, it's kind of put to
- 59:56Speaker 1: bed the feud. I mean, like, I think you're just
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: gonna have to watch and see the rest of the season.
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: I will say that there is a there are a
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: couple of very funny moments that Jordan and I are
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: part of, and they're going to be very funny moments
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: in Paradise. The dog throw, which was in the promo,
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: I mean that the it's a great moment him wearing
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: I mean, did you see that the outfit that he's wearing,
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: the red suit, pretty pretty interesting outfit that he's wearing
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: when he throws that dog into the ocean. But we
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: didn't see that moment. It's in one of the promos.
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: It's a funny, funny moment. Um. So David here, Hey,
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: we're not here for Jordan, David. We're not here for
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: Jordan David. David, I gotta ask you something. I'm looking
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: for you to redeem yourself as a child of mine,
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: as somebody that I appreciate, loves, and somebody I feel
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: like I just want to wrap up in my big

- 1:01:19Speaker 1: how much did you like Becca? I like that guy?
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: I you know, I just knew that. You know, we
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: didn't really have a connection and you know, it's kind
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: of something that you can't really describe if you have
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: or don't. Um, you know, I like that a lot
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: of person. She's a great human being, David. How do

- 1:03:35Speaker 1: oh yeah, I kissed you better believe I kissed Becca.

- 1:04:00Speaker 1: uh you know. My mom is a huge part of
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: my life. Um, she is such a special person to me.
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: She she's great and I'm not afraid to admit it.
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: I am a prototypical mom's boy. I called her, I
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: talked to her every day. She goes everything about my life.
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: I love her and I'm glad that was able to
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: shine her on TV. Everyone will see it tomorrow, David,
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: have you seen the package yet? I haven't seen it yet.
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: I know I haven't seen it yet. Well, I was
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: gonna say, it seems like you've really developed a good
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: scent of humor about yourself. And uh, and you you
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: mentioned that it's unfortunate that you can't marry your mom,
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: so you're just gonna have to find somebody who compares amazing.
- 1:04:44Speaker 1: D Please respond, Yeah, I must have said all of that,
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: and well, I can't marry my mom with he went
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: to Paradise, So, uh, yeah, my mom's great. Lave bla mom.
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: You're the greatest. You're a good interview. You're the opposite
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: of creepy. Come visit before the season end. You're very endearing. Yeah.
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: Can we expect any love from you or is it
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: more just like you getting into everybody else's drama. I
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: think we'll just have to wait and see a little
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: bit you can play it out. Did you suck. You're
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: the worst interview to answer the question. It stop. David.
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: Last question for you, who did you have on your
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: list going into Paradise? Who did you want to get with?
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: So good question, actually your question. I went into it
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: with a really open mind. I didn't pigeon hold myself
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: when all the producers you were asking who do you
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: want to see that? I didn't pigeont hold myself on
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: the one person because at that point I didn't really
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: know anybody, so kind of just went into it with
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: an open mind. David, David, No, David, come on, this
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: is what Ashley tries to do to me every podcast.
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: What do you mean you you this? You're the one
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: that gives vague answers. Point. I didn't say I didn't
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: do it, I just did you do? I was just
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: blaming you, David, top two people who were you interested
- 1:06:08Speaker 1: in seeing? Honestly, I swear I was very very open minded.
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: Now with that said, I'm definitely into blonde and definitely
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: into thank you. I will leave that very open and
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: Kendall and Kendall Crystal, I mean, I'm gonna get bond
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: and David, We've got so much to teach you. We've
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: got you coming up so many times. I feel like
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: we should just have a segment Amy and asked, what
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: do you think segment where we bring David on for
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: like a minute and we just asked him questions that
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: he tries to dodge and then he gets awkward and
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: doesn't actually ever dodge. We call it one minute with
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: a former Chicken. Oh, David, we love you, We like

- 1:07:05Speaker 1: then we hang up on you. So fun. He he
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: just represents everything like husband that I think of husband. Really,
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: he's like you do you know what he is to me?
- 1:07:22Speaker 1: He's like your best guy friend who's like obsessed with you,
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: and you just you know that he is, but you
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: just keep like just just just stop yes, your friend
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: zone him like crazy, and then all of a sudden
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: he like makes a move on you and you find
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: yourself making out with him. In five years later you're
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: marrying him, and you're like the happiest person ever. He
- 1:07:41Speaker 1: would be a really good husband, you know, like he's
