0:43
Speaker 1: I love you have zero filter. That's one of my
0:46
Speaker 1: favorite things about you. And then Ben is like the
0:48
Speaker 1: most politically correct person of all time. So it's such
0:51
Speaker 1: a nice But I don't know, y'all are just very
0:54
Speaker 1: balanced and thank you. You know, just quality people. You're
0:57
Speaker 1: too nice. Um. So I'm gonna give you a tips
1:00
Speaker 1: for being in the studio with us today. Okay. One
1:02
Speaker 1: is you have to forget that you're on a podcast
1:04
Speaker 1: and that people listen to it because we say things
1:08
Speaker 1: I was gonna say actually might say things Ben you
1:11
Speaker 1: never say. Sometimes I get tweets with quotes from the
1:14
Speaker 1: podcast and I'd be like, oh my god, I said
1:17
Speaker 1: that on record. Yeah. Well, luckily I just get to
1:21
Speaker 1: sit here and listen, which I think makes it work, right,
1:24
Speaker 1: I think, so that is so easy to open up to.
1:26
Speaker 1: I like, look at his eyes. I'm just like, I'll
1:28
Speaker 1: just tell you everything. I feel like you're with that
1:30
Speaker 1: with everyone. If I was on Ben season, Wait, this
1:34
Speaker 1: is something I try to think about a lot. So
1:36
Speaker 1: we know that Becca got the second place on Chris
1:39
Speaker 1: Soul season, which is where we became friends. So I
1:45
Speaker 1: was what seventh seventh on Christ this season? On one? Ever,
1:51
Speaker 1: so where would I have landed on Ben season? You
1:54
Speaker 1: think because you kind of downgraded, you went from second
1:57
Speaker 1: to five, it was a runner up waiting down the line.
2:02
Speaker 1: And this is where things get awkward for you today,
2:05
Speaker 1: a second by bed, where would I have placed? Oh?
2:09
Speaker 1: I thought you're asking her. Now it's back to me. No,
2:11
Speaker 1: I wasn't asking Ashley. It's so hard to I would
2:16
Speaker 1: have been top ten, right, Oh my gosh, top ten?
2:20
Speaker 1: I mean you know, maybe top five. I barely made
2:27
Speaker 1: the cut. No, Um, I think I think you would
2:32
Speaker 1: have fit in really well. I bet that. I think
2:33
Speaker 1: the girls that participated in the season, the Batchel that
2:36
Speaker 1: I was a part of, um, we're all really cool.
2:40
Speaker 1: Like I feel like more friends from your season currently
2:42
Speaker 1: than I have friends from you got along well. I
2:45
Speaker 1: think we would have got along well. I think you
2:46
Speaker 1: would have been, UM, somebody just like you are here
2:49
Speaker 1: that makes me laugh and makes me embarrassed and pushes
2:52
Speaker 1: me out of my comfort zone with the things that
2:54
Speaker 1: you say, and I'm always very attracted to that. Um.
2:58
Speaker 1: But it also when you're speaking to anybody wants to listen,
3:02
Speaker 1: like our podcast, also makes me very nervous because something's
3:05
Speaker 1: going to get said that I could come back to
3:07
Speaker 1: bite us. But well, if if I was on your season,
3:10
Speaker 1: I'd probably be so nervous I wouldn't be being myself,
3:13
Speaker 1: So then it would have been a whole different scenario.
3:15
Speaker 1: I imagine there would have been lots of breakdowns from you,
3:19
Speaker 1: oh so many more so then, Yeah, back to the
3:23
Speaker 1: real story. Let me let's set the stage here. It
3:26
Speaker 1: was a cold night in Indiana. We had all come
3:29
Speaker 1: back from the Bahamas with the stomach blue. You picked
3:32
Speaker 1: Kayla over Becca. Well, let's not. Let's not just call
3:35
Speaker 1: out Kayla here. Um. Yeah, she's the only one really
3:39
Speaker 1: to call out on that. You know, here's the deal
3:43
Speaker 1: and this is gonna this is really my thought process. Okay,
3:47
Speaker 1: was Becca knows that I think she is wonderful. Beccan
3:51
Speaker 1: knows how much fun we had together. I didn't on
3:55
Speaker 1: the show, but I know, um, Beca, we had so
4:00
Speaker 1: much fun together. We were great. Um. I knew that
4:05
Speaker 1: uh Lauren um was somebody that was extremely special to me.
4:10
Speaker 1: I knew that Lauren was somebody that was was possibly
4:12
Speaker 1: going to be somebody I proposed to. Now there were
4:15
Speaker 1: some people kind of sneaking up into those feelings as
4:17
Speaker 1: well at the time, and I thought that if I
4:20
Speaker 1: knew that that that was kind of where my heart
4:23
Speaker 1: was leaning, that to bring Becca back to her hometown
4:27
Speaker 1: would be so hard on her and her family. And
4:30
Speaker 1: the reason I think that, all right, I feel like
4:32
Speaker 1: that because I saw I saw it with Nick's family,
4:35
Speaker 1: and so I saw how much like how emotional it
4:38
Speaker 1: was for his second hometown, you know, when when they
4:40
Speaker 1: didn't know if he was gonna end up with Caitlin
4:42
Speaker 1: or not was They were so torn with that. And
4:45
Speaker 1: my thought is, if there's one thing and this whole
4:48
Speaker 1: franchise that nobody signed up for was the families. The
4:51
Speaker 1: families don't sign up for this, right, Um, we do.
4:53
Speaker 1: So you know, if if if I could have taken
4:56
Speaker 1: Becca to to Jamaica, I would have loved to. Um
5:01
Speaker 1: just but it wasn't right, and so I had to
5:05
Speaker 1: do the hard thing and send her home from Warsaw. Um.
5:09
Speaker 1: But it actually was. I remember being um after the show,
5:13
Speaker 1: being with Lauren. I was like, you know what, there's
5:15
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of things I need to like
5:17
Speaker 1: answer to, but Beca is one of those. Like I
5:19
Speaker 1: wanted Becca to know that. Like that was a pretty
5:22
Speaker 1: terrible situation because I earlier in the season had promised
5:25
Speaker 1: her I would never lead her on. I would always
5:27
Speaker 1: be very straightforward with her. Well, what you don't realize
5:30
Speaker 1: is in the Bachelor, you have to lead everybody show.
5:35
Speaker 1: Nobody knows how anybody feels about each other till the
5:38
Speaker 1: very end. Right. Um. So I will say this, I
5:42
Speaker 1: did have to let Becca go. It wasn't fun. I
5:45
Speaker 1: could have probably done it better. I didn't at that
5:46
Speaker 1: point know what was right and what was wrong. But
5:49
Speaker 1: she ripped me a pretty good new one. That night
5:51
Speaker 1: as we were sitting on the bench, you know, I
5:52
Speaker 1: saw Becca hadn't seen yet side. I think my whole
5:57
Speaker 1: you know, I was so picked, but because I had
6:01
Speaker 1: gone through Christmas season being like the cool girl, actually
6:05
Speaker 1: I was like, this girl hasn't cried yet and we
6:07
Speaker 1: are going into week five. What is wrong with her?
6:11
Speaker 1: I didn't cry the whole. I cried when I talked
6:12
Speaker 1: to Chris's mom and that was it. And then I
6:14
Speaker 1: go and been season and I feel like I was
6:16
Speaker 1: kept around just until the producers could get some tears
6:19
Speaker 1: out of me. And I feel like you pushed me
6:21
Speaker 1: to my breaking point. No, that would have definitely been me.
6:23
Speaker 1: I really would say that, Like the producers never kept
6:26
Speaker 1: around like no, I'm really are you really kidding? I mean,
6:29
Speaker 1: are you getting at some point? We gotta we gotta
6:31
Speaker 1: break this down back, because here's the deal, we're not friends,
6:34
Speaker 1: were totally friends, we're friends. Then I think we were
6:37
Speaker 1: only friends. That was the friend. No, but I think,
6:43
Speaker 1: you know, just like in any situation, you have people
6:46
Speaker 1: you click with and every but they have to make
6:48
Speaker 1: a show. So there has to be people there. So
6:50
Speaker 1: I just was like, not a spiller, even though it
6:55
Speaker 1: sounds bad, but you know, like you knew that you
6:57
Speaker 1: had stronger feeling I knew that you had stronger feelings. Rather, Yeah,
7:00
Speaker 1: I got a question, So if those those top four,
7:03
Speaker 1: are you saying that those are the top four girls
7:04
Speaker 1: that you had the strongest feelings for or that you
7:06
Speaker 1: didn't want to hurt Becca? And then you're just like, oh,
7:08
Speaker 1: it's better off to like fill another girl into the
7:10
Speaker 1: hometown spot than hurt Beckamore. Yeah, I think at that
7:13
Speaker 1: point in the show, honestly, I was kind of closing
7:15
Speaker 1: off feelings to as many people as I possibly could.
7:18
Speaker 1: I was still trying to stay open, but I was
7:20
Speaker 1: also trying to like narrow my focus because the idea
7:23
Speaker 1: that in two weeks you could be proposing to somebody,
7:25
Speaker 1: you have to start mentally preparing yourself for that. Like,
7:27
Speaker 1: you don't want to be feeling like you're dating for
7:30
Speaker 1: women and then the next week you're on one knee
7:32
Speaker 1: asking somebody to marry you. That's an odd concept. So
7:34
Speaker 1: I think at that point the show, my feelings for
7:37
Speaker 1: the people that I was, for the women that I
7:39
Speaker 1: was sending home, We're starting to get very very closed.
7:42
Speaker 1: I wasn't allowing myself to feel much anymore. I was
7:45
Speaker 1: I was focused on really um two women. But ultimately
7:48
Speaker 1: as that last week and last two weeks went on
7:51
Speaker 1: UM after hometowns like one and I was just trying
7:53
Speaker 1: to make sure that she was the right one for me. Well,
7:55
Speaker 1: then what about fantasy suites? Because if let's have Beck
8:00
Speaker 1: in studio. Yeah, I feel like you're always embarrassing and
8:05
Speaker 1: calling out Ashley on her dates since I feel like
8:09
Speaker 1: so if you're saying that you left hometowns really feeling
8:12
Speaker 1: strongly for one, maybe two, why haven't bother with that
8:15
Speaker 1: third fantasy suite? That's a good question. I don't I
8:18
Speaker 1: can't answer that. I don't know. I can't answer that
8:20
Speaker 1: for you either. Yeah, I mean, honestly, I think having
8:24
Speaker 1: Kayla and the fantasy suite was something that, uh, it's
8:29
Speaker 1: just I don't know. It just seemed like as the
8:31
Speaker 1: show progressed, that was what you did. I didn't. I
8:33
Speaker 1: didn't know I really had the option. Maybe I should
8:36
Speaker 1: have thought that through, but everybody knows that option. Andy
8:39
Speaker 1: Dorfman made sure that Chris didn't go to the Fantasy
8:42
Speaker 1: Suite Joe. Joe didn't. Maybe that's something I should have
8:46
Speaker 1: you know, looking back, maybe that is a scenario I
8:49
Speaker 1: should have put, like done differently. Um, but you know,
8:52
Speaker 1: the Fantasy sweet has these uh this this idea around it,
8:56
Speaker 1: and it doesn't always you know, to be very political correct,
8:59
Speaker 1: it doesn't always have to be what the the idea
9:01
Speaker 1: of the Fantasy Suite is. And to me, it was also,
9:05
Speaker 1: um the first moment where you're able to be alone
9:09
Speaker 1: with somebody, and I remember for Caitlin and I it
9:11
Speaker 1: was really the first moment that I really felt like
9:13
Speaker 1: she got to know me as a person, was in
9:15
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Suite, like for us just to talk, free
9:18
Speaker 1: to be silent at sometimes like to not talk and
9:20
Speaker 1: see what that felt like because we're never gonna be
9:22
Speaker 1: silent during the show. Um. So for the Fantasy Suit
9:26
Speaker 1: was just a really big week for me to explore
9:28
Speaker 1: what my relationships were like looking back, it's hard for
9:31
Speaker 1: me to say I've kind of blocked out a lot
9:32
Speaker 1: of that or tried to. Um, you know, why I
9:35
Speaker 1: had Caitlin Fantasy Suite might have been and what I'm
9:37
Speaker 1: assuming was was just to try to get to know
9:39
Speaker 1: our relationship better because who knows, As as the show
9:43
Speaker 1: likes to tell you, let's stay open to the very
9:45
Speaker 1: very end. Well, Becca and I both had two very
9:47
Speaker 1: innocent fantasy suitets, so we understand very evening beyond the
9:50
Speaker 1: sexy time. Yeah, well thanks, Actually, so Becca, when the
9:56
Speaker 1: heck's going on with your life now? Um, well, there's
9:59
Speaker 1: a lot. I'm traveling a lot. I'm just trying to,
10:03
Speaker 1: you know, ride this train as long as I can.
10:06
Speaker 1: But also it's I that was just a very honest answer,
10:09
Speaker 1: And um, I I think it's hard to get off
10:14
Speaker 1: the show and all of a sudden you have this opportunity,
10:17
Speaker 1: and it's I think for me, I think now it's
10:20
Speaker 1: very obvious what opportunities come after. I think when I
10:23
Speaker 1: went on both Christmas season and your season, I had
10:26
Speaker 1: no idea that this could be my life after this,
10:29
Speaker 1: And so um, I launched a blog and then focusing
10:33
Speaker 1: on fashion and beauty and what I like and also
10:35
Speaker 1: doing um a YouTube channel, which is a lot of
10:38
Speaker 1: work that I've realized, but I'm really trying to focus
10:41
Speaker 1: on that and just I don't know, trying to figure
10:43
Speaker 1: it out. We've talked about it, definitely, we've talked about
10:46
Speaker 1: a lot because it is it is confusing coming off
10:48
Speaker 1: these shows. You don't you don't know what to expect
10:50
Speaker 1: until you get off of and then all of a sudden,
10:51
Speaker 1: these opportunities to get thrown your way, and social media
10:54
Speaker 1: becomes a way to kind of support yourself, and it's
10:57
Speaker 1: a great way to support yourself because you're able. I
10:59
Speaker 1: think what people don't realize is you're able to uh
11:02
Speaker 1: monetize your social media and also be involved in multiple
11:05
Speaker 1: projects at once. And so for you, you're passionate about
11:09
Speaker 1: this blog and you're passion about this YouTube channel, but
11:11
Speaker 1: you also have a passion as you're explaining to the
11:13
Speaker 1: other day, was you're trying to explore this whole realm
11:15
Speaker 1: of humanitarian work or nonprofit work charity that you have
11:18
Speaker 1: time to do because these other jobs don't take up
11:20
Speaker 1: maybe as much time. Yes, well you have the time
11:23
Speaker 1: and you have the platform. Like it's at some point
11:26
Speaker 1: you're doing all this stuff on social media and it's
11:28
Speaker 1: great and you're making money and getting these opportunities, but
11:31
Speaker 1: you're not there's some sort of lack of fulfillment or
11:34
Speaker 1: like am I doing anything that's benefiting anyone other than myself,
11:38
Speaker 1: and so that's kind of been what I'm thinking about
11:40
Speaker 1: because it's it kind of gets very vapid very quickly,
11:44
Speaker 1: and I'm very grateful, Like I can't say it enough,
11:47
Speaker 1: but there's gotta be more to it. Oh my god, Um,
11:50
Speaker 1: you just like really hit a sensitive subject for me
11:53
Speaker 1: because you know no, but like back in the fall,
11:56
Speaker 1: they'd be like, you'd get comments on your Instagram and
12:00
Speaker 1: her ads and they'll be like get a job, like
12:02
Speaker 1: do something, and I'm like, well, because I posted this Instagram,
12:06
Speaker 1: I'm actually able to spend my time organizing a charity
12:09
Speaker 1: event that raised fifty dollars for charity. So Ghost, you
12:14
Speaker 1: do a lot of that, like you are. I mean,
12:16
Speaker 1: you're someone who's an example as far as like using
12:19
Speaker 1: this time in this like what you have available to
12:23
Speaker 1: you for something really great and both both of y'all.
12:26
Speaker 1: But it's you know, it is it's it's it's an
12:28
Speaker 1: awesome world to be a part of. You're gonna get haters.
12:30
Speaker 1: We all have them. You know who has them least
12:34
Speaker 1: of any of us to actually is Becca is absolutely
12:39
Speaker 1: adored by like everybody out there. She should be. That's
12:42
Speaker 1: like I get why, but I think Becca has shown
12:46
Speaker 1: herself well on these shows because that's just the person
12:48
Speaker 1: she is, and so she moves outside of the show.
12:50
Speaker 1: People trust her, care for her, want to see the
12:53
Speaker 1: best for her. Um. And she's also hilarious, and that's
12:55
Speaker 1: what we have her in here with us today. I'm
12:57
Speaker 1: telling you, if if we can like get on the
13:00
Speaker 1: right topic, Becca is going to crack you up. I mean,
13:05
Speaker 1: she asked some perspective on life that that her and
13:08
Speaker 1: as she could pie just bantern. I'll just sit here
13:10
Speaker 1: and laugh, which is what should be my ideal situation
13:12
Speaker 1: for this podcast. We'll bring up a random topic for us. Yeah,
13:15
Speaker 1: I'm going to Becky, you just got out of relationship.
13:18
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. That that kind of we're going to say,
13:21
Speaker 1: like what did Hey, let's do a beauty hall or something.
13:28
Speaker 1: Let's b down. Just yeah, and you're doing how you doing?
13:33
Speaker 1: I'm good? Okay, Yeah, it was kind of goes back.
13:37
Speaker 1: Um X is being able to be friends. And I
13:41
Speaker 1: think there is definitely a line where I could be
13:45
Speaker 1: friends with Robert right now and I'm totally fine with it,
13:49
Speaker 1: and I think we will be friends. I think when
13:52
Speaker 1: the relationship ends and it's kind of more maybe one sided,
13:56
Speaker 1: or you know, someone's feelings were hurt, or someone wasn't
13:59
Speaker 1: ready for it to end. It's harder to go into
14:01
Speaker 1: just being friends. But I think after time, the cliche
14:05
Speaker 1: time heals all wounds, I think it's very possible. And
14:08
Speaker 1: you and Bet, you and Ben and you and Robert
14:12
Speaker 1: were friends, really good friends before you started dating, which
14:15
Speaker 1: I think makes it easier to go back to that
14:17
Speaker 1: front state. Yeah, because it was very It was very
14:20
Speaker 1: important friendship in my life and something that I still,
14:22
Speaker 1: you know, I miss that and I've had to like
14:26
Speaker 1: check myself and not be selfish and asking to hang
14:28
Speaker 1: out too soon after the break up, because I you know,
14:31
Speaker 1: you have to be sensitive. But I think eventually he's
14:34
Speaker 1: amazing and I want him in my life. So it's
14:36
Speaker 1: similar to what you and shared totally. I would like
14:39
Speaker 1: to ask Becca. This is Amy the producer. Hey Amy, Hi.
14:42
Speaker 1: What I asked Ben on our last episode when I
14:45
Speaker 1: put him in the hot seat is would you date
14:47
Speaker 1: someone else that has been on a Bachelor, Bachelorette, Bachelor
14:50
Speaker 1: in Paradise, Bachelor, Winner Games, Bachelor, all the Bachelor's. Well,
14:55
Speaker 1: you know, luckily there's always a new fresh batch of
14:58
Speaker 1: people coming up. Into shows, So you never should we
15:02
Speaker 1: call DIBs on our guys already right now about guess
15:04
Speaker 1: so we don't fight over them? I say, Dean Deans.
15:09
Speaker 1: They're both Peter and Dean. Yeah, I know. Well, you
15:11
Speaker 1: know what Peter's like a Harry Styles to me, He's
15:13
Speaker 1: like so untouchable. I just shouldn't even let my mind
15:16
Speaker 1: go there. Well, what that is so interesting me? Because
15:20
Speaker 1: I just don't like, I feel like what you feel
15:22
Speaker 1: about Harry Styles. There shouldn't be anyone in Bachelor franchise
15:26
Speaker 1: like you should be compared. I'm just so good. I
15:29
Speaker 1: need more of this. I'm so confused right now. How
15:31
Speaker 1: do you allow yourself to get like head over heels
15:34
Speaker 1: for these guys you've you've participated in this shows, certain
15:38
Speaker 1: celebrity crushes that you allow yourself to wander there. We're
15:41
Speaker 1: not considering Peter, though, but I am suggesting that I
15:45
Speaker 1: could never get Peter, just like I could never get
15:50
Speaker 1: Let's let's focus this down to Ashley. We're gonna do
15:54
Speaker 1: a little bit of intervention right now. Beck and I
15:56
Speaker 1: are going to lead it here. What about yourself? I
16:00
Speaker 1: actually think that you cannot get Peter. I actually think
16:03
Speaker 1: I'm awesome. I think you guys both know that. Like
16:06
Speaker 1: I'm actually a confident person despite what you see on TV.
16:10
Speaker 1: But I know, like I'm not cool enough for Peter,
16:13
Speaker 1: Like I would just go in front of him and
16:15
Speaker 1: started blabbling about something and it just he wouldn't front
16:19
Speaker 1: it attractive. But I think like Dean would think it
16:22
Speaker 1: was kind of cute. So you you're just basing it
16:24
Speaker 1: off of like, no, you're facing it off of your
16:29
Speaker 1: assessment of how like their personalities and how they'd react,
16:33
Speaker 1: y you think. But I think I would say Rachel's
16:36
Speaker 1: a little more Um. I don't say reserved because I
16:40
Speaker 1: don't think she's reserved, but she's not such an open
16:42
Speaker 1: book like you are. And maybe Peter's just reacting to
16:46
Speaker 1: her the way he is because it's her personality. I
16:48
Speaker 1: think that he's probably just probably too reserved for me.
16:51
Speaker 1: I don't like me, but I would I think Jared's reserve.
16:56
Speaker 1: I mean, you know him, though, what if Peter's find
16:58
Speaker 1: you guys, oh this, I feel stupid talking about this.
17:03
Speaker 1: If you were in studio with us right now, you're
17:04
Speaker 1: gonna see Ashley like with her eyes facing the table,
17:07
Speaker 1: just like not comfantly making eye contact with us because
17:10
Speaker 1: she's so embarrassed. But I do have to say, actually,
17:12
Speaker 1: it's legitimately one of the most beautiful people I've ever
17:15
Speaker 1: seen in my person. My friends said that after we
17:18
Speaker 1: went to Vegas, uh during Happily ever After, and a
17:21
Speaker 1: lot of my close friends got to me Ashley and
17:23
Speaker 1: they did. They came back like Ashley is one of
17:26
Speaker 1: the most beautiful people we've ever seen in real life.
17:28
Speaker 1: But aside from her outward beauty, she really is one
17:32
Speaker 1: of the best people that I know. So, I I
17:35
Speaker 1: don't get Peter. If you're out there and you're single,
17:38
Speaker 1: I mean, Harry Styles, Jared, any of you like Chris please,
17:47
Speaker 1: you know, call in Becca. Let's get back to one
17:51
Speaker 1: thing I've been wanting to tell you this, right, um,
17:53
Speaker 1: So let's go back to the season The Bachelor that
17:55
Speaker 1: I was a part of and that you were on. Um,
17:59
Speaker 1: I know there was a moment during this season. Well,
18:01
Speaker 1: I was sick the whole season, right, I think I
18:03
Speaker 1: think we've talked about that. But I had the stomach. Yeah,
18:05
Speaker 1: I lost like thirty pounds during the seasons. No, So
18:09
Speaker 1: I was in Honduras right before the show started and
18:12
Speaker 1: I got a parasite that I didn't know I had,
18:14
Speaker 1: and and it literally mutated in my stomach so many times.
18:18
Speaker 1: But I wasn't able to keep any food in from
18:20
Speaker 1: the dream for a girl, Ye, how do I get
18:22
Speaker 1: one of those? You stick your hand in the soil,
18:29
Speaker 1: you know. So, so I ended up getting it taken
18:35
Speaker 1: care of after the show. It was actually two weeks
18:37
Speaker 1: of like heavy medication. It was awful, but so I
18:40
Speaker 1: was sick the whole time. We hit it. Well, I
18:41
Speaker 1: think nobody really knew it wasn't contagious. It was, But
18:47
Speaker 1: I've heard that the women on the show we're also
18:50
Speaker 1: really sick at one point. And I want to hear
18:52
Speaker 1: both of your perspective as you go about this show, right,
18:54
Speaker 1: the stuff that you don't see behind the scenes, like
18:57
Speaker 1: getting sick, fighting through illness to long hours um and
19:01
Speaker 1: like how do you hide that? How do you deal
19:03
Speaker 1: with it? Does everybody know it? Well? We all know it.
19:08
Speaker 1: You might not know a lot, but we're very open
19:10
Speaker 1: with each other in our in our tight knit group
19:12
Speaker 1: in the mansion. The first week on both seasons, so
19:16
Speaker 1: many of the girls were constipated, could not go back,
19:18
Speaker 1: and everyone was miserable. We were having to like be
19:21
Speaker 1: in our bikinis and layout, and then they were we
19:23
Speaker 1: were drinking and eating and it was not pleasant and
19:25
Speaker 1: a lot of people really suffered there. But you probably
19:27
Speaker 1: never knew. You just came to pick us up in
19:29
Speaker 1: a helicopter. Me. I never got a helicopter. I don't
19:33
Speaker 1: either season, and um, that was an issue. And then
19:39
Speaker 1: when we went to Mexico City, I got really sick
19:42
Speaker 1: with like I thought I had strapped throat. They came
19:45
Speaker 1: and gave me some you know, local antibiotics, which not sure,
19:49
Speaker 1: but it knocked it right out. I was ready for
19:51
Speaker 1: my date. You had no idea we could probably kiss,
19:53
Speaker 1: and I didn't even tell you that there was what
19:55
Speaker 1: you were going to get sick. Um. And then when
19:59
Speaker 1: we went to the Bahama as we swam with the
20:00
Speaker 1: pigs and like all of us got sick and had
20:03
Speaker 1: stomach issues. I mean, it was I mean, and I
20:09
Speaker 1: knew about that. So that was where did Yeah, So
20:11
Speaker 1: I found out about that because all the women during
20:13
Speaker 1: my season, they'd sit down with me and be like,
20:15
Speaker 1: I'm just sorry, Like I don't feel good right now.
20:16
Speaker 1: It's like something's happening, Like something's going on, and I
20:19
Speaker 1: forget who but one of them were like, yeah, we
20:21
Speaker 1: all have the stomach issues and I'm like, whoa. I
20:23
Speaker 1: mean great women that are just yeah, we were all
20:28
Speaker 1: just making sure wherever you took us for our chat
20:30
Speaker 1: that there was a restroom here. So here's inside scooped
20:33
Speaker 1: from my season. Then is when the Bahamas I cancel
20:36
Speaker 1: the road ceremony because and I'm honestly, I showed up
20:40
Speaker 1: to the house that we're having the road ceremony app
20:42
Speaker 1: and this is the part about the Batch and Batcher
20:44
Speaker 1: at that isn't glamorous that you don't see, but I
20:46
Speaker 1: remember this. So I go into the room that I'm
20:48
Speaker 1: you know, holding in until the women are all prepared
20:51
Speaker 1: for me to go out and talk to him. And
20:52
Speaker 1: I am so sick and I have a fever and
20:55
Speaker 1: I'm stripped down. I had my whole suit off, and
20:57
Speaker 1: Harrison's like, Chris, Harrison's in there, and He's like, dude,
21:00
Speaker 1: you making it tonight. I'm like, I don't think. So
21:01
Speaker 1: all the producers are coming in like Ben, what are
21:03
Speaker 1: we gonna do? Like I cannot stand up. I'm so sick,
21:06
Speaker 1: and I knew what my decision was going to be, right,
21:10
Speaker 1: and I hadn't like prepped anybody to say, I'm thinking
21:12
Speaker 1: I need to cancel the night's rose ceremony, like I
21:13
Speaker 1: already know I'm gonna do, but I'm laying there. I'm like,
21:15
Speaker 1: I can't do it, Like I can't stay, I can't
21:18
Speaker 1: stand that long, I can't stand along, I can't talk
21:20
Speaker 1: to somebody for that long, Like I'm so sick. And
21:22
Speaker 1: so I actually had to cancel the rose ceremony only
21:24
Speaker 1: because of how sick I walked to part the ROAs ceremony. Sorry,
21:28
Speaker 1: the cocktail party. I actually hated the cocktail party. So
21:32
Speaker 1: and so I wasn't mad about. But for all the
21:35
Speaker 1: fans out there that the Bachelor and Bachelor isn't as
21:37
Speaker 1: glamorous as you might seem, like, you know, things like
21:39
Speaker 1: this happen a lot, or maybe not a lot. Maybe
21:42
Speaker 1: they just happened with me. Ye Jay didn't poop for
21:46
Speaker 1: ten days in Paradise. Well, she's gonna love you saying that.
21:49
Speaker 1: She came on my podcast and she talked about it.
21:52
Speaker 1: She's very open with it, and she had to be
21:53
Speaker 1: really open with Tanner about it because she was like, Hey,
21:56
Speaker 1: I look like I'm six months pregnant. That's because I
21:58
Speaker 1: haven't pooped in ten days. Speaking of that, I mean,
22:01
Speaker 1: how cool is it that Jade is actually now pregnant?
22:03
Speaker 1: So cute that child is going to be so beautiful? Yeah,
22:07
Speaker 1: definitely naturally so naturally beautiful, like in the best way. Um.
22:13
Speaker 1: All right, so you and I've dated, you both dated Chris? Um,
22:19
Speaker 1: what is your life lookout from here? Look like from
22:21
Speaker 1: here on out? Like? Are you done with Bachelor World?
22:23
Speaker 1: Are you going to Bachelor in Paradise? You sit on
22:25
Speaker 1: the Ellen thing. You would do the Winter Games, So
22:28
Speaker 1: I'll see you there. This is just something we've just
22:31
Speaker 1: made up. Okay. I have always said I wanted a
22:35
Speaker 1: Bachelor and road Rules type show. I said Survivor and
22:39
Speaker 1: Bachelor Survivors a little much for me. I don't think
22:42
Speaker 1: it Survives Survivor, but amazing Race I would be down for.
22:47
Speaker 1: So when the Olympic game came up, I'm not necessarily
22:51
Speaker 1: great at snow sports, but I feel like I'm athletic
22:55
Speaker 1: enough that I could. Maybe I'm not athletic enough, which
23:00
Speaker 1: I may not do well, but I will give you
23:02
Speaker 1: some good That's what I was gonna say. I will
23:04
Speaker 1: not give good TV, as we all know, but I
23:07
Speaker 1: could perform. I just want to commentate. I just want
23:10
Speaker 1: to sit back, bob Ca, Yeah, that's all I want
23:13
Speaker 1: to do. I want to sit back. And there's Beckettilly
23:17
Speaker 1: running down the slope and I was gonna say, like
23:21
Speaker 1: tumbling down the floor. So here's the before we go. Uh,
23:24
Speaker 1: And I want to I want to mention this to
23:26
Speaker 1: both of you. Um, so I've I've shared this story
23:29
Speaker 1: with Ashley, and I want to get your perspective on
23:31
Speaker 1: it and see if this was an appropriate or not.
23:33
Speaker 1: So I'm in New York City this last week, right,
23:35
Speaker 1: and it's late at night, and my buddy and I
23:37
Speaker 1: are walking on the street and these two conning it right,
23:41
Speaker 1: and and I'm granted, at two o'clock in the morning,
23:44
Speaker 1: we're walking back to the hotel. So they run up
23:47
Speaker 1: to me, Hey, bid, how are you doing? And I'm
23:49
Speaker 1: I'm a little awkward, you know, a lot awkward. I
23:52
Speaker 1: usually don't know what to say at the right time. Ever, um,
23:56
Speaker 1: I know, right, I don't know what you obviously have
23:58
Speaker 1: a weird sense of yourself. Maybe maybe intervention next time.
24:02
Speaker 1: So these two girls come up to me and and
24:04
Speaker 1: I thought this was funny, and I think I could
24:06
Speaker 1: say it to Ashley and Becca, and I think they
24:08
Speaker 1: would laugh or like at least give me a look
24:10
Speaker 1: and move on. But they come there like, hey, how's
24:12
Speaker 1: it going. I like, it's going great, just having some
24:13
Speaker 1: New York pizza, Like, oh, we just got an Indian food.
24:16
Speaker 1: We're going back. It's a girl's night. We're gonna snuggle
24:18
Speaker 1: in the sheets and watch a movie. And I'm like,
24:21
Speaker 1: that's awesome. I was like, Indian food always makes me
24:23
Speaker 1: blow out the sheets. And they were so appalled, Like
24:26
Speaker 1: I literally got a look on there like like not
24:29
Speaker 1: even like a giggle, like you've ruined every thought of you.
24:34
Speaker 1: Like I had this idea of who you were been,
24:36
Speaker 1: and you've ruined that, which, in a sense is a
24:38
Speaker 1: victory for me. That's kind of my goal for life
24:40
Speaker 1: is to ruin any like fantasy of me. But at
24:43
Speaker 1: the same time, I felt so awkward that I woke up.
24:46
Speaker 1: You know, when you wake up the next morning and
24:47
Speaker 1: you've done something the night before that isn't that bad,
24:49
Speaker 1: but bad enough where you're like hitting your forehead like
24:52
Speaker 1: why in the heck am I so stupid? Have you
24:54
Speaker 1: ever had those moments? Yeah? Yeah, but most mornings for me, Yeah,
24:59
Speaker 1: it's every morning when I wake up? Is that a
25:01
Speaker 1: terrible comment? Like, honestly with somebody that would have liked
25:05
Speaker 1: him more. You know, I would have liked him more
25:08
Speaker 1: from that statement. And I think that those girls are
25:10
Speaker 1: boring for not thinking that was hilarious. I don't like
25:12
Speaker 1: people who don't think those stories are funny. It's funny.
25:16
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't because now in my back of
25:18
Speaker 1: my head, this is what it does to me. It
25:20
Speaker 1: makes me go, do I need to try harder to
25:21
Speaker 1: be cooler? Because I wasn't trying to date these girls.
25:25
Speaker 1: I was just like trying to make God comes, trying
25:27
Speaker 1: to be funny. And now I'm like, am I that
25:29
Speaker 1: like in my in my that lane where like I
25:32
Speaker 1: can't even make a joke that I like, who knows
25:33
Speaker 1: see if it lands or not? See for me? When
25:36
Speaker 1: I heard this story, if he had said like, oh,
25:39
Speaker 1: Indian food makes me far, I would have been like,
25:41
Speaker 1: oh my god, me too. That I did not know
25:45
Speaker 1: that chicken ticking a salid I had to eat by myself,
25:50
Speaker 1: no Indian no. So then I was thinking that maybe
25:55
Speaker 1: the way he said below the sheets, like that's maybe
25:59
Speaker 1: my idea of what I said and what they thought
26:01
Speaker 1: I said is now missing. You know what, now that
26:04
Speaker 1: we're really going into this, blow the sheets sounds weird, right,
26:09
Speaker 1: I've never heard that to the two young ladies that
26:12
Speaker 1: were beautiful and friendly up until that point. If you're
26:16
Speaker 1: listening to this podcast, when I said blow the sheets,
26:18
Speaker 1: it wasn't an inappropriate in the window for something more.
26:21
Speaker 1: That's the fact that my stomach gets a little bit
26:23
Speaker 1: upset when I have Indian food. With that, let's get
26:26
Speaker 1: some callers on the line. We have Becca in studio
26:29
Speaker 1: to answer some of these questions. She is so much
26:31
Speaker 1: wiser than Ashley, and I mean, she is gonna lay
26:34
Speaker 1: some wisdom down on these peeps. Brooke and Chicago has
26:38
Speaker 1: a question. Brooke, what's your question? Hi? First of all,
26:42
Speaker 1: I can't believe this real life right now I'm talking
26:44
Speaker 1: to you guys. I've been listening every week to your podcast,
26:48
Speaker 1: so so yeah, I thought Colin asked for some dating advice,
26:50
Speaker 1: since I feel all your answers have been absolutely on
26:53
Speaker 1: points from pretty come on keep talking? But really but um, yeah,
27:00
Speaker 1: So I live in Chicago and I'm having a kind
27:03
Speaker 1: of a hard time meeting guys. But seems crazy since
27:05
Speaker 1: you know this city is pretty big. Um, you know,
27:08
Speaker 1: I have some dating apps that you the whole slipe left, White,
27:11
Speaker 1: slipe right, ordeal. But I don't really feel comfortable meeting
27:14
Speaker 1: someone from an app, you know, even though this day
27:16
Speaker 1: and age, it's no super popular and successful so for
27:20
Speaker 1: some people. So I was wondering any any insightful or advice,
27:24
Speaker 1: you know, on how to meet people outside of the
27:26
Speaker 1: dating app For some of us, you know, not wanting
27:29
Speaker 1: to go that route, you could apply for The Bachelor.
27:34
Speaker 1: The only my only pool of dating outside dating apps
27:38
Speaker 1: is um my Bachelor? Is that really? I mean, I'm
27:42
Speaker 1: not Actually, I'm not kidding that much. I was gonna say, Actually,
27:45
Speaker 1: after talking to you for a couple of weeks here,
27:47
Speaker 1: it does seem like it kind of pulls from dating
27:49
Speaker 1: apps and The Bachelor. Soone Resbecca, I mean, what's your like.
27:53
Speaker 1: You've been in a relationship for a while, so I
27:55
Speaker 1: don't know if you're at backout dating or not. You
27:56
Speaker 1: don't have to answer that, but if you were to
27:58
Speaker 1: get back in the dating world, how would you go
28:00
Speaker 1: about it today? Well that's what I'm trying to figure out. Brooke.
28:02
Speaker 1: I relate to this, and I almost think being in
28:04
Speaker 1: a bigger city sometimes makes it harder because there's so
28:08
Speaker 1: many people and so many options that a lot of
28:11
Speaker 1: people don't take it. You know, it's not so much
28:14
Speaker 1: about getting into relationship, it's about just random dates. So
28:18
Speaker 1: luckily I went on two seasons of The Bachelor and
28:21
Speaker 1: had got to avoid that part of my life, and
28:23
Speaker 1: now I'm back into it. So I would say, and
28:26
Speaker 1: don't be scared to go on the date. Just make
28:28
Speaker 1: sure you meet up with people if you're going to
28:30
Speaker 1: do it. Don't let him come to your house right off. Yeah,
28:33
Speaker 1: that's probably not safe. Yeah, you know, I think this
28:35
Speaker 1: is such a good question, Brooke, And it's a question
28:37
Speaker 1: that not only affects actually now the three of us
28:41
Speaker 1: in this room, um, but affects you and a lot
28:44
Speaker 1: of people in our generation. Is it's it is confusing.
28:46
Speaker 1: We've made dating, i think, meeting people easier with the
28:48
Speaker 1: apps and with the websites, but in a sense it
28:52
Speaker 1: feels like and this could get we could actually harder.
28:56
Speaker 1: We've made a commitment. We've made commitment harder because it's
28:59
Speaker 1: so easy. That's such a good point. Actually, we've made
29:01
Speaker 1: commitment harder by making meeting people easier. Because there are
29:04
Speaker 1: so many options that why settle for the one that
29:08
Speaker 1: you're on a date with right there? Yeah? But actually
29:10
Speaker 1: and I have talked about this a lot because I
29:11
Speaker 1: think we're both very old school mentality and how we
29:15
Speaker 1: and I think you are too bad how we date
29:18
Speaker 1: in assess relationships, and I think it's rare now to
29:23
Speaker 1: find people who are genuinely especially on those apps, looking
29:26
Speaker 1: for a relationship. But you have to put yourself out
29:30
Speaker 1: there or you have to just go out. I don't
29:33
Speaker 1: even know my I don't want to meet a guy
29:35
Speaker 1: in a club. So when people like you have to
29:37
Speaker 1: put yourself out there, my god, we don't go out.
29:39
Speaker 1: I mean we go out like as part of our
29:42
Speaker 1: social being. Um. But Becca and I would never choose like, hey,
29:46
Speaker 1: you want to go to a bar and meet guys today?
29:49
Speaker 1: That would never happen, you know, Brooke, We we haven't
29:52
Speaker 1: given you any advice because I think we're all confused
29:54
Speaker 1: on the topic, but we have no We're just saying
29:56
Speaker 1: we're here for you with you. You're not it alone.
30:00
Speaker 1: The worst feeling in the world is being alone. And
30:02
Speaker 1: I will tell you're not alone. Um. My only advice,
30:06
Speaker 1: um is is to stay open to the to dating.
30:10
Speaker 1: You know, like Becca said, I know for me, the
30:12
Speaker 1: idea of going on a date makes makes me so nervous.
30:15
Speaker 1: And so if you are desiring to meet somebody, you
30:17
Speaker 1: have to get through the awkwardness. We've all we've all
30:20
Speaker 1: been there, done that, We've had those first dates that
30:22
Speaker 1: you're so nervous for. So just do it. You know,
30:25
Speaker 1: if anything, it will end up being a good story
30:27
Speaker 1: to tell um and and it's maybe. Yeah, it means
30:31
Speaker 1: to be a free meal. Not always that, as we
30:34
Speaker 1: know from the Almost podcast, sometimes you split the check
30:37
Speaker 1: at the end of the don't let that happen, broke.
30:42
Speaker 1: But yeah, Brooke, great question. I don't know if we
30:45
Speaker 1: have great advice. I don't know if we have a
30:47
Speaker 1: great answer for you. But stay open, go on those
30:49
Speaker 1: first dates, and if you find somebody through whatever means,
30:52
Speaker 1: make sure you get back to us to let us know,
30:54
Speaker 1: because then we'll try that as well. Thank you, Brooke. Um,
30:57
Speaker 1: I don't think we helped her at all. I'm not
31:00
Speaker 1: I think you guys definitely I'm not alone and that's fantastic.
31:04
Speaker 1: Appreciate put yourself out there and pay attention to your
31:08
Speaker 1: your girlfriends who have boyfriends or husbands or whatever, pay
31:11
Speaker 1: attention to their friends and just see if there's anyone
31:14
Speaker 1: that interests you in that circle. No, I think that's
31:18
Speaker 1: probably the route I should go. There you go. We
31:20
Speaker 1: helped you, guys. We did we did it. We did it.
31:25
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Problem awesome? I like, she's nice.

32:26
Speaker 1: I cream that came in the summer box, and he's
32:32
Speaker 1: no crow's feet, no under eyed circles. And then for me,
32:36
Speaker 1: I'm obsessed with the new sunscreen that I discovered through
32:39
Speaker 1: the fab fit phone box. It doesn't make my makeup
32:41
Speaker 1: book caking, and it doesn't make me look purple. Becca,
32:43
Speaker 1: do you understand, like you know how sometimes sunscreen will
32:46
Speaker 1: make you look purple? I literally have no idea what
32:50
Speaker 1: Yesterday I chose not to say anything, so I just
32:51
Speaker 1: felt like it was kicking on it. But now that
32:52
Speaker 1: you're here, actually, when I will bring in my other
32:56
Speaker 1: suns it sounds dangerous. It will make me look like
33:00
Speaker 1: blue purple pink, like what happens when you shipped from
33:04
Speaker 1: you from know this was from Whole Foods. Even that's
33:08
Speaker 1: that's sometimes risk You're right, that is probably risky. But anyway,
33:11

33:16
Speaker 1: get it and tell us your favorites for only make

Speaker 1: day for you, and you can have eyes that look
33:32
Speaker 1: just as bright as bends. Um. Speaking of bright eyes,
33:37
Speaker 1: I know somebody has some bright eyes and it's Brittany
33:40
Speaker 1: from Illinois. Brittany, what can we do for you? Hi?
33:44
Speaker 1: Hey Brittany, Hey Brittany. By the way, we have Becca
33:48
Speaker 1: Tillian studio. I mean, are you kidding me right now?
33:51
Speaker 1: She is? Hi, Brittany. Oh, my dreams are coming from
33:58
Speaker 1: My dreams are coming from of you guys so much.
34:01
Speaker 1: Thank you. We just became friends. So are we still
34:07
Speaker 1: talking about if you can be friends at any question? No? No,
34:11
Speaker 1: let's get beyond that. What else do you have to
34:14
Speaker 1: ask for us? Yeah? Just come up with the topic either. Okay,
34:19
Speaker 1: what any of you guys ever consider going on Badelroom Paradise, Ashley,
34:24
Speaker 1: I know asked you did, but go round three my
34:28
Speaker 1: third round? Not this year, not next year. But if
34:32
Speaker 1: Dean and Peter were there. No, you know what, I
34:35
Speaker 1: can meet all these guys in real life. I really
34:36
Speaker 1: don't need the show to meet these confidence coming out
34:39
Speaker 1: dang girls actually probably be better off. I'd probably be
34:44
Speaker 1: like a lot cooler. I'm hesitant to watch this season
34:47
Speaker 1: without you being on there. Oh, I know, like, is
34:52
Speaker 1: it going to be what it was? Yeah? I mean
34:54
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask that, Berty, do you think it's
34:55
Speaker 1: gonna be like it was actually a great question about
34:58
Speaker 1: me and Jared. Jared's key. It's just I watched I
35:04
Speaker 1: feel like I watched it for you. I started watching
35:05
Speaker 1: it as for the Bend season, and then I like
35:08
Speaker 1: fell him up with the Astley. So now I'm just like,
35:10
Speaker 1: I don't know, I want to watch it, just the
35:13
Speaker 1: poorest Bachelor Nation. But you guys aren't on it anymore. Yeah,
35:16
Speaker 1: we're now We're we're old school. I mean, it's weird
35:19
Speaker 1: to even look around this room right now and think
35:20
Speaker 1: of all of us are kind of washed up, and
35:22
Speaker 1: now we're sitting in a studio talking about the Bachelor
35:25
Speaker 1: and bachelot as fans, and we're just trying to stay
35:28
Speaker 1: alive at almost famous. We almost made it. Well. I
35:33
Speaker 1: have a question for Becca because, oh, because of what
35:37
Speaker 1: you just said. Though, So if Becca were to go
35:39
Speaker 1: on Paradise, Becca saying, wells or Jared were there, would
35:43
Speaker 1: you ever consider dating them? Since we were so tight
35:46
Speaker 1: Ashley there, I wouldn't even look in their direction. I
35:52
Speaker 1: appreciate you just kidding. I would be friends and I'd
35:54
Speaker 1: be nice, but Britney even different relation ship, I think
36:00
Speaker 1: then Ashley and Caleb, but I feel like, um, there's
36:06
Speaker 1: just boundaries. And I know a lot just from what
36:09
Speaker 1: Ashley has told me and shared with me that that
36:11
Speaker 1: would be that would I would never. But do you
36:14
Speaker 1: think that it's weird to like called DIBs or to
36:18
Speaker 1: date or not date people that are part of the
36:20
Speaker 1: Bachelor family because your friends have touched them, well literally
36:26
Speaker 1: and figuratively in a weird way. We're all friends our
36:31
Speaker 1: acquaintances as least. I think some people are closer, Like
36:34
Speaker 1: there's some people that there's a few people that I
36:36
Speaker 1: would not go anywhere near their acts or who they've
36:40
Speaker 1: dated in the past. Um, and then there's some that
36:43
Speaker 1: are like I don't feel a sense of loyalty do
36:45
Speaker 1: because we all dated the same guy in the same season.
36:48
Speaker 1: So I don't know. It's hard to say yeah good
36:51
Speaker 1: a definitely not wells or brings up a good point
36:54
Speaker 1: and in the topic maybe uh we should explore here
36:58
Speaker 1: is you know Becca I no desires to be a
37:01
Speaker 1: good friend to her friends, and she desires to look
37:04
Speaker 1: out for their their needs and their emotions, and so
37:06
Speaker 1: she's saying here's the deal, like Ashley doesn't. Ashley has
37:11
Speaker 1: already verbally told me it would hurt me if you
37:13
Speaker 1: dated one of these guys, or I wouldn't be a
37:15
Speaker 1: fan of watching one of my friends date one of
37:17
Speaker 1: these guys. Not that Ashley is calling DIBs. She's not
37:20
Speaker 1: saying hey, they're mine, only she's saying, hey, to see
37:23
Speaker 1: you do this would just be hard for me. And
37:26
Speaker 1: Becca's response is okay, I'll listen. I'll follow that. And
37:30
Speaker 1: and my relationship with you, Ashley, is more important than
37:33
Speaker 1: maybe my self is the desires to explore this relationship.
37:36
Speaker 1: And so as a result, I'm gonna be a good
37:38
Speaker 1: friend here because I care about you. I think there
37:40
Speaker 1: are exceptions, you know. I think that if there was
37:42
Speaker 1: a guy and your your friend day to him, but
37:44
Speaker 1: you're like, this could be my actual husband, then maybe
37:47
Speaker 1: you have to go for him. Um, it's if it's
37:50
Speaker 1: going to be like just like a hook up flaying,
37:53
Speaker 1: then worth well, it's it is a good topic when
37:56
Speaker 1: we all deal with. Brittany, thank you for asking that today. Um,
38:00
Speaker 1: you know, you know, sorry about throwing your question off,
38:03
Speaker 1: but you came up with a great one. I mean,
38:04
Speaker 1: look where we led, jeez, we got interesting. So well,
38:08
Speaker 1: thanks Brittany. Thanks Brittany. Yeah, thanks guys. All right, Well
38:12
Speaker 1: that was a great conversation we had with Brittany there. Um,
38:15
Speaker 1: I know, before we leave, we want to talk a
38:17
Speaker 1: little bit more about the episode of the Batchel or
38:18
Speaker 1: at Yeah, but before that, we got to give a
38:20
Speaker 1: shout out to Atom Tickets a t o M Tickets. Um,

39:29
Speaker 1: Adam tickets today. All right, actually, all right, so before
39:32
Speaker 1: we go, let's talk about this episode of the Bachelorette.
39:35
Speaker 1: We finally say goodbye to Lee, who you know, I
39:38
Speaker 1: think is the most evil of men. You know, Yeah,
39:42
Speaker 1: that's yeah, I I would actually actually I don't know.
39:45
Speaker 1: It's hard for me to say that, but I might
39:46
Speaker 1: agree that there's this level inside of him that you know,
39:50
Speaker 1: he's getting jolly's from making other people upset. Yeah, you know,
39:56
Speaker 1: he's like getting off to that. I don't like it.
39:57
Speaker 1: I don't want to watch it. He's not just you know,
40:00
Speaker 1: damaging himself in this, but he's attacking I think people
40:03
Speaker 1: on the show, and he does this weird condescending thing
40:07
Speaker 1: that is like, buddy, I love you, but and I
40:11
Speaker 1: don't get that, Like, how can you tell somebody, hey,
40:14
Speaker 1: we're friends, I love you, but you're but I want
40:17
Speaker 1: to make sure you feel really small before I leave
40:20
Speaker 1: this room. That may be my least favorite part of him.
40:24
Speaker 1: I'm just ready for him to go. He makes me
40:26
Speaker 1: feel weird, he makes me feel small. He's doing a
40:28
Speaker 1: great job that give it to him. I mean, he's
40:30
Speaker 1: making me feel small from my TV screen. Remember how
40:33
Speaker 1: we are talking earlier on this season about how he
40:36
Speaker 1: just seemed fundamentally evil. I've changed my tune a little
40:40
Speaker 1: bit more because I feel like he's just trying to
40:42
Speaker 1: play a role. Now now I see him as you know,
40:45
Speaker 1: he was like, Oh, I'm going to go into this
40:46
Speaker 1: as a villain. I'm gonna do everything that villains do.
40:49
Speaker 1: That might be more disturbing to um. Yeah, if he's
40:54
Speaker 1: acting that way, if he's using this opportunity UM to
40:57
Speaker 1: be himself and make other people hurt, that's more confusing me, Like,
41:00
Speaker 1: why would you choose to be the villain? Why would
41:03
Speaker 1: you choose to hurt other people? If you have the
41:06
Speaker 1: opportunity to be caring, to be loving, to make some friends,
41:11
Speaker 1: possibly fall in love, why would you use this opportunity
41:13
Speaker 1: just to destroy yourself and others in the process. That that,
41:16
Speaker 1: to me is just a deep seated issue that we
41:18
Speaker 1: can't deal with from the show. He'll have to deal
41:20
Speaker 1: with on his own. Let's talk about his partner on
41:23
Speaker 1: the two on one, which was Kenny and how I
41:26
Speaker 1: really do love Kenny. I think he's a good guy,
41:28
Speaker 1: and I think he seems like a great dad based
41:30
Speaker 1: on the interaction that we see with his daughter on FaceTime. Um,
41:34
Speaker 1: but Kenny just seems to get caught up in a lot.
41:38
Speaker 1: What I found disturbing about this was that Rachel was like,
41:42
Speaker 1: I need more time with you. I'd like to get
41:43
Speaker 1: to know you better. So let's go to this dinner
41:46
Speaker 1: portion of the date. And then before they left, as
41:49
Speaker 1: they got all the helicopter, Kenny was like, wait, wait, wait,
41:52
Speaker 1: I need a second. I need to go and talk
41:55
Speaker 1: to Lee one more time. And he just couldn't drop it.
42:00
Speaker 1: You know how last season with Nick, Taylor went back
42:04
Speaker 1: during the two on one with Karin and then they
42:07
Speaker 1: Karin and Nick were having their dinner time and then
42:10
Speaker 1: Taylor walked in. Maybe this is like a new thing
42:12
Speaker 1: that's being encouraged. I mean, I think everybody wants closure,
42:16
Speaker 1: and so you know, when you're angry with somebody, you
42:19
Speaker 1: don't want to just leave. I don't know if that's enough.
42:21
Speaker 1: I will say. With all this in mind, um, I
42:24
Speaker 1: actually want to ask you if you were in Kinney's
42:26
Speaker 1: position and you had somebody like Lee kind of poking
42:28
Speaker 1: and prodding at you for this. I mean, really since
42:31
Speaker 1: week two kind of trying to get under your skin,
42:33
Speaker 1: would you have handled it as well as Kinny has
42:36
Speaker 1: or do you even feel like Kenny has handled it well? Okay,
42:39
Speaker 1: so I thought Kenny was handling it well, at least
42:42
Speaker 1: good for TV. I was pretty much entertained at every
42:45
Speaker 1: little diss he threw Lee's way. But that's also because
42:48
Speaker 1: the bad guy in this situation is obviously Lee. And
42:50
Speaker 1: I would love to say that I would handle the
42:52
Speaker 1: situation with grace, but we all know that I wouldn't.
42:55
Speaker 1: I don't know if because I've done it on TV
42:59
Speaker 1: so many times. I guess with Kelsey, I kind of did. Kelsey.
43:02
Speaker 1: Kelsey was a part of Crystal season with you. Kelsey
43:05
Speaker 1: was the girl my two on one with me and
43:07
Speaker 1: we're both eliminated, And yeah, I gave her a piece
43:10
Speaker 1: of my mind in a pretty concise, articulate way, and
43:14
Speaker 1: like three sentences on a bed in the middle of
43:18
Speaker 1: the bad lands, and then I walked away from her.
43:21
Speaker 1: And when I walked away, I was like, you did it.
43:23
Speaker 1: You said everything you needed to say, and now you
43:25
Speaker 1: can move on and focus on Chris. And it was
43:29
Speaker 1: kind of too late for that then, And not only that,
43:31
Speaker 1: was it too late, just like I don't think Chris
43:33
Speaker 1: and I were supposed to get married. Well, you know,
43:35
Speaker 1: I wonder if Kenny is sitting in this situation going
43:37
Speaker 1: I wonder. I mean, I don't want to speak for him,
43:40
Speaker 1: but I bet he's, you know, coming back, and he says, Okay,
43:43
Speaker 1: you've taken a big piece of this experience away from me,
43:46
Speaker 1: from experience that I really was going into excited about.
43:49
Speaker 1: I left my daughter for who I who I love, UM,
43:52
Speaker 1: and you tried to get in my skin and you did.
43:54
Speaker 1: You did that successfully. And I'm not going to let
43:56
Speaker 1: you just walk away from this without me at least
43:59
Speaker 1: expressing to you. I'm hurt. You've affected me. This has
44:03
Speaker 1: been ruined totally. So okay, moving on. Then, we have
44:06
Speaker 1: a bunch of crazy dates this week. Um, one day
44:10
Speaker 1: is somebody with that honestly, I haven't known really through
44:14
Speaker 1: the whole season. That's a date with a guy named
44:15
Speaker 1: Will Well. I think we get to no Will a
44:17
Speaker 1: little bit, but he's just not someone we are like
44:22
Speaker 1: invested in. Why is that? But you know who else
44:24
Speaker 1: we're not invested in? Matt and Adam. Why are Matt
44:28
Speaker 1: and Adam still there? And why are they giving us
44:30
Speaker 1: any reason to root for them? Yeah? I don't even
44:33
Speaker 1: know who Matt and Adam are. Then there are six
44:37
Speaker 1: guys left. The three of them we are pretty attached to.
44:41
Speaker 1: That'd be Dean, Peter, and Bryan. And now we're kind
44:44
Speaker 1: of attached to Eric because Eric's date with Rachel was
44:47
Speaker 1: so fun. They just had a blast. Like I don't
44:49
Speaker 1: know that Rachel's looking at him like, oh, I'm going
44:51
Speaker 1: to marry this man, but she's like, I would love
44:53
Speaker 1: to date this guy in real life because we just
44:55
Speaker 1: have a blast. What about their date? What about their
44:57
Speaker 1: date stood out to me? Ashley Um, the way they
45:00
Speaker 1: wanted her to laugh and smile and he liked he
45:03
Speaker 1: kept it lighthearted, and they were drinking. They were in
45:07
Speaker 1: the hot tub with like another barrel of men right
45:09
Speaker 1: next to them, and then they went to the second
45:12
Speaker 1: biggest theme park on Earth. It was all just really
45:16
Speaker 1: fun and you know, he was he has such a happy, positive,
45:22
Speaker 1: uplifting vibe. She just really like being around him. Like Eric,
45:26
Speaker 1: there's a level too, I think when you find somebody
45:28
Speaker 1: like Eric, that is a part of your season. I
45:30
Speaker 1: don't know how she ends up who she ends up with,
45:33
Speaker 1: but either way, you keep somebody like Eric around because
45:36
Speaker 1: he's he's fun. Or you know, there's some girls from
45:38
Speaker 1: my season that I kept around because they're they're they're fun,
45:40
Speaker 1: they're uplifting. They make this experience a little bit better,
45:43
Speaker 1: a lot better at times. Uh. And I think that
45:47
Speaker 1: it's something he said for that after the show is
45:49
Speaker 1: you became friends with those people and you appreciate them
45:50
Speaker 1: a lot. There's some some women from my season that
45:52
Speaker 1: I appreciate a lot post well, the Twins definitely. The
45:57
Speaker 1: Twins were always fun. Emily, you know, it was around
45:59
Speaker 1: a little longer, and anytime you you hang out with
46:01
Speaker 1: somebody like Emily, you can look back and go, that
46:04
Speaker 1: was a good experience. So yeah, I mean, I think
46:06
Speaker 1: that's I think that's what I saw and Eric maybe
46:08
Speaker 1: was that there's not a lot of deep connection, but
46:10
Speaker 1: there there is a level of just excitement and fun
46:13
Speaker 1: and and they look like two teenagers on their date. Yeah,
46:16
Speaker 1: he's like smooth and sexy and she's like, this is
46:19
Speaker 1: It's fun to be flirted with in this sort of manner. Definitely.
46:23
Speaker 1: So we have a one on one, uh with Eric,
46:26
Speaker 1: we have a one on one with Will. Um. Outside
46:29
Speaker 1: of that, what else did we can we can go?
46:31
Speaker 1: We can go revisit that Will date. The Will date
46:34
Speaker 1: was Bizarro because he has kissed her in the past,
46:39
Speaker 1: but on this date he just didn't want to touch
46:41
Speaker 1: her and she was very insecure about it. It made
46:44
Speaker 1: me feel really bad because she kept saying all season,
46:48
Speaker 1: She's like, I'm a touch person, I'm a quality time person.
46:50
Speaker 1: Those are there? Two? Um touch a two love languages
46:53
Speaker 1: and on The Bachelor I love about you Ben. Did
46:55
Speaker 1: you guys talk about love languages a lot, a lot? Yeah,
46:58
Speaker 1: we did, um, because there's some girls from my season
47:01
Speaker 1: that honestly had just read the book The Five Love Languages,
47:05
Speaker 1: and also a book they read which it meant a
47:06
Speaker 1: lot to me. I had read a book by Donald
47:08
Speaker 1: Miller called Scary Close right before I went on the show,
47:11
Speaker 1: and I had posted a picture of one of the
47:14
Speaker 1: excerpts from the from the book, and some of the
47:16
Speaker 1: girls actually went other way to go buy the book
47:17
Speaker 1: and read it too, so we could relate on this level.
47:19
Speaker 1: That so there that was actually a big topic during
47:23
Speaker 1: my whole season was Hey, these are the things that
47:24
Speaker 1: were said in these books. You know, what does what
47:27
Speaker 1: does that look like? To us? What is what does
47:28
Speaker 1: that feel like to us? Which meant a lot because
47:31
Speaker 1: it makes conversations on dates a lot easier. You have
47:33
Speaker 1: actually something to talk about that isn't just you're you know,
47:36
Speaker 1: the darkest, deepest parts of your yourself. What's really weird
47:40
Speaker 1: to you? Guys um will let you in a little bit.
47:43
Speaker 1: When you're in the bachelor bubble, there are actually a
47:46
Speaker 1: few things to talk about because there's either the stuff
47:49
Speaker 1: that's going on in the house or there's the deep
47:51
Speaker 1: dark stuff about your soul that we are encouraged to
47:54
Speaker 1: talk about. But there's not much going on your daily
47:57
Speaker 1: life that you could be like, oh, hey, guess what
47:59
Speaker 1: I did to or like I had this weird experience
48:01
Speaker 1: out at the grocery store. So you're just kind of
48:04
Speaker 1: sometimes it's a struggle for conversation. I agree with that. No,
48:07
Speaker 1: I would say I'd say it's always difficult to talk.
48:10
Speaker 1: But one conversation that really did stand out from this
48:12
Speaker 1: episode was, and I think it was one of the
48:14
Speaker 1: most touching moments of the season so far, is a
48:16
Speaker 1: conversation between Kenny and his daughter they face time on
48:20
Speaker 1: this episode was so cute. It was the second time
48:22
Speaker 1: we got to see Kenny face time with his daughter,
48:25
Speaker 1: and it just say so much about his soul and
48:28
Speaker 1: him as a father. He is so attached to his daughter,
48:31
Speaker 1: so attached that he and Rachel had the conversation where
48:36
Speaker 1: they're like, yeah, we like each other, and we're two
48:38
Speaker 1: mature adults that know that this probably isn't going to
48:41
Speaker 1: result in a marriage, So let's break this off now
48:45
Speaker 1: so you can go home to your daughter. Do you
48:46
Speaker 1: appreciate that? I love the way this went down. This
48:49
Speaker 1: was one of the most heartfelt breakups I've seen on
48:52
Speaker 1: The Bachelor because it was so mutual and there was
48:56
Speaker 1: so much love and respect between the two of them,
48:59
Speaker 1: And when he left, he was like, that is a
49:01
Speaker 1: wonderful woman that I want my daughter to hopefully emulate
49:04
Speaker 1: one day. Wow, that's I mean, yeah, you got to
49:06
Speaker 1: think about that. Is He's leaving an experience where it
49:08
Speaker 1: wasn't exactly great for him, not by his own choice.
49:10
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of um things that affected
49:13
Speaker 1: his experience, including Lee. But then you know, as he's
49:18
Speaker 1: lack of a better term, one this one on one.
49:20
Speaker 1: He then comes back, he says, Okay, now let's reevaluate.
49:23
Speaker 1: You know, you've chosen me to stay. But is this
49:26
Speaker 1: a long term relationship? And if it isn't, I want
49:28
Speaker 1: to get home, which means a lot. And I respect
49:32
Speaker 1: that as a man because he's obviously searching for love.
49:35
Speaker 1: It is so mature to say I don't want to
49:37
Speaker 1: stick around just for the sake of getting further in
49:40
Speaker 1: this competition, But like I actually want to know, is
49:44
Speaker 1: this something that's gonna end up meaning anything in my life?
49:47
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of um comments after the
49:49
Speaker 1: show of their tears that were shed during this conversation
49:52
Speaker 1: between Kenny and his daughter. Actually, for you, why was
49:55
Speaker 1: that conversation so emotional? I think we got a sense
49:59
Speaker 1: of who he is at home off camera and who
50:02
Speaker 1: he is as a dad of course, and something that
50:06
Speaker 1: we don't get to see is their interpersonal relationships outside
50:10
Speaker 1: of this bachelor bubble. Do you do you enjoy as
50:13
Speaker 1: as a fan? Now, do you enjoy watching the episodes
50:16
Speaker 1: and getting to see kind of those two worlds collide.
50:18
Speaker 1: Is that fun? Is that? I mean? I guess not fun?
50:21
Speaker 1: Is it exciting? Is it intimate? Like? How do you
50:23
Speaker 1: feel when you see those those moments? I feel warm
50:28
Speaker 1: and gooey? I don't. I don't know. It's that kind
50:32
Speaker 1: of warm and gooey. Well, when you get hometowns, like
50:36
Speaker 1: you tell me about worried about the gooey? Like, what's
50:39
Speaker 1: feeling gooey? I don't know, like melty, you know, like
50:42
Speaker 1: watching Kenny with his daughter was very melty. Okay, we'll
50:46
Speaker 1: deal with this all right, So I sorry, we'll move
50:48
Speaker 1: on here. So you felt warm and gooey. I've never
50:51
Speaker 1: used that expression like that. Are you just use it
50:53
Speaker 1: on a podcast? I don't know. How do I feel? Michael?
50:59
Speaker 1: The question is how do I feel in moments where
51:01
Speaker 1: we see the contestants leave their bachelor bubble? Yeah? Definitely.
51:05
Speaker 1: That would normally be seen in hometowns, in hometowns only, Yeah,
51:08
Speaker 1: and now and now we're going to a glimpse of
51:10
Speaker 1: that before hometowns. I like that. Okay, So if that's
51:13
Speaker 1: the answer to your question, I like that a lot,
51:14
Speaker 1: and I think that would be something that would be
51:16
Speaker 1: nice for the Bachelor of the Bachelorette to see before
51:20
Speaker 1: at the top four because I think it says a
51:21
Speaker 1: lot about somebody's character to see them interact with their family.
51:25
Speaker 1: So on. On your season of The Bachelor, then, were
51:28
Speaker 1: the contestants allowed to talk to their if they had kids? Right,
51:32
Speaker 1: you had a couple. I think there's a couple of
51:34
Speaker 1: women from your season had kids. Two girls from my
51:36
Speaker 1: season had kids. Were they allowed to talk to their
51:38
Speaker 1: kids back home? Yes, so they are allowed to face
51:40
Speaker 1: time them. It's like every other every third day. I
51:44
Speaker 1: think in the Bachelor House it was more like every
51:46
Speaker 1: third day. But then in Paradise they let them face
51:49
Speaker 1: time more. I think there's just like maybe more downtime
51:52
Speaker 1: nice And I mean when when they did that, there
51:55
Speaker 1: was always filmed, I do think it was usually owned. Yeah, well,
52:01
Speaker 1: you know, I think it's important for any parents that
52:03
Speaker 1: go on this show to be able to talk to
52:05
Speaker 1: their kids. You know, obviously, when you're there, there's a
52:07
Speaker 1: lot of people you want to talk to, but it's
52:10
Speaker 1: a different relationship when you have kids at home. Yeah,
52:12
Speaker 1: I mean, it's very intimate. It's it's very important for
52:15
Speaker 1: them to continue to be the parents they want to be,
52:18
Speaker 1: and and honestly, I just think it means it probably
52:22
Speaker 1: means a lot to Rachel. I know it meant a
52:24
Speaker 1: lot to me when the parents on the show can
52:28
Speaker 1: keep a healthy relationship with their kids back home, right.
52:30
Speaker 1: And I just want to speak for Amanda for a second.
52:34
Speaker 1: She's been getting a lot of hate lately because it
52:36
Speaker 1: was announced that obviously she's doing Paradise for the third time,
52:39
Speaker 1: but she went on this rant that I truly think
52:42
Speaker 1: is so important for people to realize out there that
52:45
Speaker 1: because she does this and leaves her kids for maybe
52:47
Speaker 1: like three weeks out of the year, she gets to
52:50
Speaker 1: provide them with an amazing life and she gets to
52:53
Speaker 1: spend all the time with them. She's home with them
52:56
Speaker 1: all the time because she's allowed to, you know, work
52:59
Speaker 1: from home or do events that are able to keep
53:01
Speaker 1: them financially supported. I agree, No, I think it's I
53:04
Speaker 1: think it's you know, it's her decision ultimately. But if
53:07
Speaker 1: who are we when we said up many time, many times,
53:11
Speaker 1: actually like who are we or anybody out there and
53:14
Speaker 1: in the social media world to judge these people that
53:18
Speaker 1: we don't know personally? You and I know them personally, right,
53:21
Speaker 1: and some people do. But who are we to make
53:23
Speaker 1: comments like you're a bad parent for going away for
53:26
Speaker 1: a month. Um. Honestly, I think with Amanda especially, she
53:31
Speaker 1: is able to go back home. Especially I said, I did,
53:34
Speaker 1: I said, all right this time right, no thing, it
53:37
Speaker 1: mess up every time. I'm getting better, I'm trying. But
53:40
Speaker 1: with Amanda, there is a level there where she's able
53:43
Speaker 1: to go home and be a better parent because of
53:45
Speaker 1: this show. And if there is nobody out there, unless
53:50
Speaker 1: they know Amanda personally and they're a good friend, who
53:51
Speaker 1: can give her advice, that should be breaking her down
53:56
Speaker 1: or her kids down, or criticizing her to level because
53:58
Speaker 1: that hurts, It stings, it's deep you and I felt
54:01
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff before. It's not fun. Um. What
54:04
Speaker 1: we should be saying is, Amanda, I hope you can
54:05
Speaker 1: find a man that can support your kids as well.
54:08
Speaker 1: And I was going to say that too. So not
54:10
Speaker 1: only can she spend the quality of time that she
54:12
Speaker 1: does with the kids and support them financially like she does,
54:15
Speaker 1: but also last time she brought home a man who
54:18
Speaker 1: the kids loved, and he was he was such a
54:21
Speaker 1: presence in their life and a positive one at that.
54:24
Speaker 1: You know, Josh and Amanda no longer together, but she
54:26
Speaker 1: will never say anything bad about him, about the way
54:29
Speaker 1: he treated the girls. He loved the girls. You know,
54:32
Speaker 1: aman Amanda is uh somebody I know personally. I think
54:36
Speaker 1: Amanda is great. I appreciate her. She has been an
54:39
Speaker 1: active part in my life since you know that the show.
54:42
Speaker 1: I wish Amanda the best as we watch Paradise that
54:44
Speaker 1: will be coming up here very soon. I know we're
54:46
Speaker 1: both excited for it. But that uh, in itself is
54:50
Speaker 1: the essence of the Bachelora. It is about love, is
54:52
Speaker 1: about relationships. It is about finding a very unique way
54:56
Speaker 1: to go about find your relationships. And some of that
54:59
Speaker 1: include sacrifice, ice, sacrificing being away from your kids for
55:02
Speaker 1: a while. So with that, that is the Almost Famous
