- 2:01Speaker 1: right now, um and uh so I'm getting head back
- 2:06Speaker 1: out from Denver tomorrow. And but for my birthday, my
- 2:08Speaker 1: mom made my favorite visitor in the world and I
- 2:12Speaker 1: just had a bowl of it right before we got talking.
- 2:14Speaker 1: It's strawberry ruebarb. Um. I either like a strawberry rue barb, Like, um,
- 2:21Speaker 1: what's the word I'm looking for? Chris strawberry rue barb Chris,
- 2:24Speaker 1: you know what that is. It sounds like a jellyish dessert.
- 2:28Speaker 1: I'm not into any dessert that's not chocolate. That's really Yeah,
- 2:33Speaker 1: it's the only thing I consider dessert. I love strawberry
- 2:37Speaker 1: and rubar in anything. I like starberry and ruebarb ice cream.
- 2:39Speaker 1: I like strawberry and rutebar Chris By like starberry rubarb cake.
- 2:44Speaker 1: I just absolutely love the pace of starber and rubaria.
- 2:47Speaker 1: Because of my Indiana roots and so um, I didn't
- 2:50Speaker 1: know that was an Indiana thing or a Midwest thing.
- 2:53Speaker 1: It is. It is a Midwest thing, which has been
- 2:56Speaker 1: awesome because of my birthday week and and you know,
- 2:59Speaker 1: I wanted to a second here. I lost my grandpa. No,
- 3:05Speaker 1: it's really you know, and I wanted to bring it
- 3:06Speaker 1: up because you know, we've promised on this podcast that
- 3:09Speaker 1: we're going to be as transparent. We're gonna let everybody
- 3:13Speaker 1: kind of dip into our lives, and I think it's
- 3:15Speaker 1: important to do that. My grandfather was an amazing guy,
- 3:19Speaker 1: and at sixty years old, he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. UM.
- 3:23Speaker 1: He passed away this last week after eighteen years. Uh
- 3:27Speaker 1: fighting Parkinson's. What a a crazy ride for him and
- 3:31Speaker 1: my family kind of being alongside his side during some
- 3:35Speaker 1: of the roughest parts that I've ever time, roughest times
- 3:39Speaker 1: I've ever seen one person goes through UM and so
- 3:42Speaker 1: at the very end, you know it's time. I think
- 3:44Speaker 1: there becomes a moment where the family has already grieved
- 3:48Speaker 1: the loss in a sense before the loss has actually happened.
- 3:51Speaker 1: UM and Parkinson's, and he ended up developing dementia over
- 3:56Speaker 1: the last few years, and at the very end, you
- 3:58Speaker 1: know it it was time him and so we had
- 4:00Speaker 1: a funeral this past week. That's why I'm Indiana Um
- 4:03Speaker 1: on the phone here. It was something though I actually
- 4:07Speaker 1: I want to say what I've lost to my grandparents.
- 4:09Speaker 1: My grandma Higgins too I love dearly, and my grandfather
- 4:12Speaker 1: Fox too I loved as well. My mom's dad. Yeah,
- 4:17Speaker 1: my dad's mom and they both at the funeral has
- 4:19Speaker 1: been celebrations of life. And I think that is such
- 4:22Speaker 1: a cool way to do it is where if you
- 4:25Speaker 1: can and if you can find it within yourself, even
- 4:28Speaker 1: in one of the hardest times, that he can really
- 4:30Speaker 1: just like use that funeral or those moments to really
- 4:33Speaker 1: celebrate somebody's life. I think it really would be what
- 4:36Speaker 1: I want in my funeral. It's what I hope people
- 4:39Speaker 1: do on the day of my passing. I hope they
- 4:41Speaker 1: just can look back and say, okay, for as for
- 4:43Speaker 1: however long they got to spend with me. Now we
- 4:46Speaker 1: can celebrate the fact that at least we were able
- 4:48Speaker 1: to spend some time within And that's exactly just my
- 4:51Speaker 1: grandfather so end up becoming a very special moment. And
- 4:54Speaker 1: no matter how long he suffered um and and no
- 4:57Speaker 1: matter how much we had already grieved the loss that's
- 5:00Speaker 1: now they of it all in the pastor during the
- 5:02Speaker 1: final um speech kind of said, no matter how long
- 5:06Speaker 1: this existed into my house, that it was the finality
- 5:09Speaker 1: of this has to always hurt, and it did her.
- 5:11Speaker 1: But um, he is now in a place that is
- 5:15Speaker 1: better than what he was before. And so for that
- 5:17Speaker 1: we celebrated a great life for my grandfather's fox. So
- 5:21Speaker 1: I'm glad on this podcast I can kind of give
- 5:24Speaker 1: him a shout out because he's a good guy, a
- 5:26Speaker 1: great guy, and he was also the reason I got
- 5:29Speaker 1: my hYP so nice than I did his his his
- 5:38Speaker 1: funeral on the twenty and I celebrated my birthday, my
- 5:41Speaker 1: twenty nine. Did you speak at his funeral? I did
- 5:46Speaker 1: not know. Um. It was a really cool time for
- 5:49Speaker 1: my mom, her sister, and UM my uncle to all speak,
- 5:53Speaker 1: and they all had different perspectives. My mom talked about
- 5:55Speaker 1: our childhood with her dad, and my uncle talked about her.
- 5:58Speaker 1: And he really was best friends with my grandfather. They
- 6:00Speaker 1: were like best friends. And then my aunt spent pretty
- 6:04Speaker 1: much three to four days a week with him when
- 6:07Speaker 1: he was in the last five years of his life
- 6:09Speaker 1: as he was kind of passing and developing to mention
- 6:12Speaker 1: and kind of losing himself in a sense. She spent
- 6:15Speaker 1: all a ton of time with him. So they he
- 6:16Speaker 1: shared a different season of his life, which is really special. UM.
- 6:22Speaker 1: And so I sat next to my grandma and this
- 6:24Speaker 1: is so cool, and this is you know, this podcast
- 6:26Speaker 1: a lot of times kind of goes back on the
- 6:28Speaker 1: Backel in the best thread and it talks about love
- 6:29Speaker 1: and relationships and what we hope for and love and
- 6:31Speaker 1: relationships and I want to always keep that. I know
- 6:33Speaker 1: you do as well. We always want to allow people
- 6:35Speaker 1: a perspective into what we hope for. And sometimes you know,
- 6:40Speaker 1: you don't get to see the whole picture of a
- 6:41Speaker 1: relationship to the very end. And I got to sit
- 6:43Speaker 1: by my grandma during the speeches and as we said
- 6:47Speaker 1: our final got goodbye to my grandfather, and she was
- 6:50Speaker 1: holding I was holding her hand, um, and she just
- 6:53Speaker 1: kept holding it even after everybody was done, and she
- 6:55Speaker 1: this was she had grieved this as well. You know,
- 6:59Speaker 1: she was ready for my grandfather the past. She it
- 7:01Speaker 1: was really hard on all of us to kind of
- 7:03Speaker 1: see him go like he was. And um, she was
- 7:05Speaker 1: ready and we're all ready. But she was pulling my
- 7:08Speaker 1: hand in his big picture is a big picture of
- 7:10Speaker 1: him up in front of us. They're sitting and she goes.
- 7:12Speaker 1: As as we were all saying goodbye and everybody had
- 7:14Speaker 1: left the funeral home, she was still sitting there and
- 7:15Speaker 1: I don't want to get up and leave because that
- 7:17Speaker 1: would have been weird. Um, And she just looked at me, Man,
- 7:22Speaker 1: he's a good look and you you're gonna say that, man,
- 7:27Speaker 1: he's a good looking guy. And I just think like
- 7:30Speaker 1: for me that out of anything, that was the one
- 7:34Speaker 1: of the best birthday present. It was one of the
- 7:37Speaker 1: best parts of that night for me is to see
- 7:40Speaker 1: my grandma even to the final day, through all of
- 7:43Speaker 1: his stufferings still be able to look at him be like, man,
- 7:45Speaker 1: that's a that's a good looking guy. And I love
- 7:47Speaker 1: him a lot because that just shows me true love
- 7:49Speaker 1: does exist, and so we all want so we all
- 7:51Speaker 1: hope for uh. You know this is the crazy part too. Um. Yesterday,
- 7:58Speaker 1: my grandma came to my house here in my own
- 8:00Speaker 1: a Lake, Indiana and celebrated with me, uh in person
- 8:04Speaker 1: because my aunt and uncle had drove her here because
- 8:07Speaker 1: yesterday would have been their fifties six year anniversary. It
- 8:11Speaker 1: was a big week. There's a lot going on this
- 8:13Speaker 1: There's there's a lot of emotion. UM, a lot of
- 8:17Speaker 1: things happening, all really good, all all really um the
- 8:23Speaker 1: vine and um inspired and there was just a lot
- 8:27Speaker 1: of good things that happened because of them. But you know,
- 8:30Speaker 1: it's also not always easy there. You know, life takes
- 8:33Speaker 1: your hard sometimes. And I think this is what this
- 8:35Speaker 1: last week was for me. All Right, Well, Ben, let's
- 8:40Speaker 1: go on to something lighter. But also, I love you.
- 8:45Speaker 1: I love you too, Ash, and let's do it though
- 8:47Speaker 1: you're so wonderful. Well, Ben, let's change a topic onto
- 8:51Speaker 1: something a little bit lighter. Um, do you think that
- 8:54Speaker 1: Becca looks like Kate Middleton, because I I do. I've
- 9:00Speaker 1: been saying this like all of our season. She really
- 9:03Speaker 1: does look a lot like Keith Wilson. I actually got
- 9:05Speaker 1: to meet Becca at a one on one day a
- 9:08Speaker 1: week ago. It was what I can't tell you who
- 9:11Speaker 1: it was with or what they did, but she is wonderful.
- 9:15Speaker 1: She ran up to me and she was so excited
- 9:17Speaker 1: to meet me, and I was like, Oh, you're exactly
- 9:19Speaker 1: like I imagined you in real life. Like she just
- 9:22Speaker 1: is like a ball of energy and like happiness. And
- 9:26Speaker 1: I think she's fitting in really well. And I think
- 9:27Speaker 1: the guys are really taking to her, which is really
- 9:30Speaker 1: good news. I'm not surprised. I mean, honestly, I'm not
- 9:34Speaker 1: surprised that the guys are really taking to her. I
- 9:36Speaker 1: think I don't know. I mean, actually I don't know
- 9:40Speaker 1: how this is gonna come off. But let's even include
- 9:43Speaker 1: myself into this. Let's go back to Crystals a man
- 9:45Speaker 1: who we all love your season. I feel like we've
- 9:49Speaker 1: had better backs are at like as a pool year
- 9:53Speaker 1: over year over year. I mean, can you think of
- 9:55Speaker 1: a back stress that we don't go into the season
- 9:57Speaker 1: super excited for. I mean from Caitlin to jo Jo
- 10:01Speaker 1: who was before Kaitlin, Andy Dorfman, Andy dor Yeah, Becca,
- 10:05Speaker 1: all of these bachelors have been at rachel have been incredible,
- 10:08Speaker 1: and now we leaked up to this Becca who I mean,
- 10:11Speaker 1: I think all of America is cheering for her. There
- 10:13Speaker 1: is not one person against Becca, totally, Ben, no offense
- 10:17Speaker 1: to you. You bachelors have wonderful personalities. But it's interesting
- 10:22Speaker 1: because I feel like they usually picked the bachelor on
- 10:24Speaker 1: like who's the most romantic and dashing and charming, But
- 10:28Speaker 1: like when it comes to the bachelorette, she has to
- 10:30Speaker 1: have like this bursting personality in presence and she has
- 10:34Speaker 1: to really carry the show. Versus you bachelors, you still
- 10:38Speaker 1: have the your cast of girls to carry the show. Oh,
- 10:42Speaker 1: I mean I will, Oh, I definitely agree to you.
- 10:44Speaker 1: I mean I agree when it comes to myself and
- 10:47Speaker 1: and and and Nick and Chris. I mean I know
- 10:50Speaker 1: that because and I mean there are are into this. Yeah,
- 10:54Speaker 1: none of us are the type that you know, have
- 10:56Speaker 1: the personality to explode a show for I think what
- 11:00Speaker 1: I did well was I cared a lot. I really
- 11:04Speaker 1: thought this could work. Um, I had a terrible time
- 11:07Speaker 1: and I didn't even know I would saying goodbye to people,
- 11:10Speaker 1: and so it tore me up day after day after day.
- 11:12Speaker 1: I think for Nick, you know, he was he was.
- 11:15Speaker 1: He's a charmer and he's sophisticated and he can talk well.
- 11:19Speaker 1: And I think he's good looking, you know. Chris. Chris
- 11:21Speaker 1: is bubbly and he's funny and he's lovable and you
- 11:23Speaker 1: just see the guy and you're like, I can't not
- 11:25Speaker 1: like like this guy. He's he's harmless. Yeah, but none
- 11:37Speaker 1: of us, but none of us have the personalities like
- 11:40Speaker 1: the Caitlin's and the Rachel's and the Becca's and the
- 11:42Speaker 1: Joe Joe's who can just burst off of like out
- 11:46Speaker 1: of the TV and just make like and bring the
- 11:49Speaker 1: show out. And none of us can do that. So
- 11:51Speaker 1: I completely agree with you, Ash. Yeah. Um, Erica Rose
- 11:55Speaker 1: is pregnant again as I go down our rundown of
- 11:57Speaker 1: Bachelor News. So that's kind of exciting because she's married
- 12:00Speaker 1: to the guy, right, yeah, so new guy, second baby. Yeah. Um.
- 12:06Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember a Jin Tanner's wedding,
- 12:08Speaker 1: she was with a different guy and then we had
- 12:09Speaker 1: her on and she talked about how she dumped that
- 12:11Speaker 1: guy and then she got married and she had a baby,
- 12:14Speaker 1: and now she's on the baby number two. And yeah,
- 12:17Speaker 1: I saw that thing. I saw that news on the
- 12:19Speaker 1: East Roll bar. So you know, it's crazy how many
- 12:22Speaker 1: people people stick with this franchise and you just get
- 12:25Speaker 1: get rid of them. Not that we want to get
- 12:28Speaker 1: you know what I mean, No, no, and I wanted
- 12:30Speaker 1: to stay. Also, like, I mean, Erica is great, She's
- 12:33Speaker 1: been awesome to hut. But I mean I bet she
- 12:35Speaker 1: would say, well, isn't it It It had surprising that she's
- 12:38Speaker 1: still getting brought up on like yeah, like that's compressive.
- 12:44Speaker 1: I I think so, Like, I mean, this thing lasts forever.
- 12:48Speaker 1: And she was she was a contestant, right, she wasn't
- 12:50Speaker 1: in the Bachelor. Yeah, yeah, she was a contestant. She was.
- 12:54Speaker 1: She was on whatever that show was before Paradise Member.
- 12:58Speaker 1: What was that called Bachelor Pad? She was on. She's
- 13:00Speaker 1: on Bachelor Pad too. She also was on that show
- 13:03Speaker 1: where she taught that guy who had never been kissed
- 13:05Speaker 1: how to kiss. Remember she was like a kissing expert.
- 13:08Speaker 1: Yeah that was yeah, that was a good show. I
- 13:11Speaker 1: like that show because it's awkward and I like to
- 13:14Speaker 1: get awkward. Oh yeah. It was also done. It was
- 13:16Speaker 1: done by m z K, which does The Bachelor. So
- 13:19Speaker 1: they just love coming up with romantic awkward moments, all right,
- 13:23Speaker 1: I mean, and I've been a part of some of that. Yes,
- 13:25Speaker 1: same here, you know Top ten awkward kisses right here. Um,
- 13:29Speaker 1: Rebecca m just joined us in studio, and I know
- 13:32Speaker 1: we're going to get to her more, but I do
- 13:34Speaker 1: want to ask her to throw in her opinion with
- 13:37Speaker 1: this fact that came out or this this report that
- 13:39Speaker 1: came out this week, Ari and Lauren maybe getting married
- 13:42Speaker 1: this summer, exactly what I wanted to hear from Becca.
- 13:49Speaker 1: Then what do you think about that? You know? I
- 13:52Speaker 1: said this, uh, and and I don't know either of
- 13:56Speaker 1: them very well. I actually I only know Ari fro
- 13:58Speaker 1: our podcast. Um, I wouldn't be surprised. I mean you
- 14:02Speaker 1: kind of mean I would hope. I just hope. And
- 14:06Speaker 1: I said this when it happened, from everything that they
- 14:09Speaker 1: went through and everything that happened to get them together
- 14:11Speaker 1: and everybody that was confused and her and whatever along
- 14:14Speaker 1: the way, I hope they laugh. Remember you wanted to
- 14:19Speaker 1: get married pretty quickly afterward? I did, Yeah, you know,
- 14:23Speaker 1: I yeah, I mean, I think like things are moving
- 14:26Speaker 1: so fast throughout the whole process of the show. It
- 14:28Speaker 1: like kind of makes sense that things would keep rolling
- 14:31Speaker 1: equally as fast after Yeah, that was That's so funny
- 14:34Speaker 1: you say that because when I was at the Bachelor
- 14:36Speaker 1: at Date a couple of days ago, I was with um,
- 14:39Speaker 1: you know, lauren'zema from E and a couple of other
- 14:41Speaker 1: girls and we were just talking about like how we
- 14:44Speaker 1: met stories and one of the girls there, I think
- 14:46Speaker 1: it was Lauren's producer was like, I've been with this
- 14:49Speaker 1: guy we got proposed to after I got proposed to
- 14:53Speaker 1: after about two and a half three years, and I
- 14:55Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, so long. And she's like, actually,
- 14:59Speaker 1: like everybody know them all And then they all started laughing.
- 15:03Speaker 1: I was with Batchelor producers too, They're like, what have
- 15:05Speaker 1: we done to actually to make her think that this
- 15:08Speaker 1: is so long? My parents were engaged and married after
- 15:12Speaker 1: like two months. Yeah, we're engaged, and then they took
- 15:16Speaker 1: um eight months after that to get married. Wow. It
- 15:20Speaker 1: all depends on your relationship, So go ahead, Ari and
- 15:23Speaker 1: Lauren whatever. I mean, I support it. I do. I mean,
- 15:28Speaker 1: I'm sick of talking about It's hopefully if they get married,
- 15:30Speaker 1: they can just be irrelevant. After that, I heard that
- 15:34Speaker 1: their vacation that they're on is quite expensive. Um, yeah,
- 15:36Speaker 1: thousand dollar vacation right, absolutely more than that five thousand.
- 15:45Speaker 1: I mean it looks super happy. I mean, I'd be
- 15:48Speaker 1: happy with anybody on that all vacation though. So, I
- 15:51Speaker 1: mean they went to do they go to Iceland and
- 15:56Speaker 1: they're just like you go Iceland to then the Mediterranean,

- 21:50Speaker 1: he revealed everything every little I'm somebody called Ben. What
- 21:53Speaker 1: do you think? Look at your face? You gotta explain,
- 21:56Speaker 1: you gotta explain why your facial expressions like this. I
- 22:00Speaker 1: just don't even know who needed people are. You don't
- 22:03Speaker 1: want show, you don't watch Bravo, Ben, I'm you guys.
- 22:10Speaker 1: You guys got that. I I don't know. And and
- 22:13Speaker 1: it sounds, I mean to me, it sounds like they're dating.
- 22:18Speaker 1: What if he's what if he's now a waiter at
- 22:21Speaker 1: at sir? That's really going on? Should go in there later? No,
- 22:25Speaker 1: he's probably know, if anything, he's gonna be a waiter
- 22:27Speaker 1: at pump. Okay, so what's the difference in pumping sump?
- 22:31Speaker 1: And they have a bunch of hot guys who worked there.
- 22:33Speaker 1: He probably is like, you know, making Martini shirtless by
- 22:36Speaker 1: the bar or something. I can see that. Kendall, Kendall, Robbie. Yeah,
- 22:40Speaker 1: he's bringing he's bringing his bod to to another TV show.
- 22:46Speaker 1: Thanks for finishing that for me. Another thing to talk
- 22:50Speaker 1: about is Kate McKinnon and Mila Kunas have talked about
- 22:53Speaker 1: their love for the Bachelor. She's from SNL and Mila.
- 22:58Speaker 1: I know because Mila we're on you know, they're on
- 23:01Speaker 1: the side of that. Jared will never let it die
- 23:04Speaker 1: that Ashton said, Hey, so I started watching the show
- 23:08Speaker 1: back a couple of years ago because everybody kept saying
- 23:11Speaker 1: there's a guy named Jared who looked like me. I
- 23:14Speaker 1: hear this all the time. He reminds me every day
- 23:16Speaker 1: that Ashton Kutcher started watching the Batch does not look
- 23:21Speaker 1: like Ashton Kutcher. I don't. I don't think he looks
- 23:23Speaker 1: like I don't think he looks a ton like him either.
- 23:25Speaker 1: They have a similar bone structure. I thought it looks
- 23:29Speaker 1: more like Jared looks more like a Fox, if anything,
- 23:33Speaker 1: a Fox, Yeah, like literal Fox. Yeah. Well, well, are
- 23:41Speaker 1: you watching Unreal? No? And everyone asked me that all
- 23:44Speaker 1: the time whenever they find out I was on The Bachelor,
- 23:46Speaker 1: like did you watch Unreal? Is it just like it?
- 23:48Speaker 1: And I'm like, I don't know anything about it except
- 23:49Speaker 1: that apparently there was like in the show the producers
- 23:52Speaker 1: like swap out people's medication and we do all this craziness.
- 23:56Speaker 1: I'm like, that sounds yeah, And I don't think that's
- 23:58Speaker 1: what my experience was like, no, it's so insane and
- 24:01Speaker 1: it's so funny. Is that apparently Unreal only gets like
- 24:04Speaker 1: three hundred thousand viewers a week or per episode, And
- 24:07Speaker 1: it's just interesting because it seems like everyone asked us
- 24:10Speaker 1: about it, but like there's only apparently people watch it,
- 24:14Speaker 1: like maybe when it's on TV, because I think it's
- 24:16Speaker 1: like on Netflix or like Hulu, it's on lifetimes. But
- 24:19Speaker 1: then when they rear you know, and it's been nominated
- 24:22Speaker 1: for an Emmy, Constance Summer was nominated for Well, she's
- 24:24Speaker 1: a fantastic actress, especially in that role, Like, wow, is
- 24:28Speaker 1: she convincing and scary as hell? Ben? Have you seen it? Yeah?
- 24:32Speaker 1: I didn't know. It's still going. How have they done
- 24:34Speaker 1: multiple seasons? So this one is actually the Bachelorette. So
- 24:37Speaker 1: this season they get like an Elon Musk type girl
- 24:42Speaker 1: who's this big sort of millionaire and they're finding her
- 24:46Speaker 1: a guy. And it's actually really everything. Here's what I
- 24:50Speaker 1: might take on it is and you guys, Ben, you
- 24:51Speaker 1: can you can comment. It's there's a seed of the
- 24:55Speaker 1: Bachelor in it and then imagine going explode, you know
- 25:00Speaker 1: what I mean. So it's like there's some little elements
- 25:03Speaker 1: that I'm sure based on reality on your y'all show,
- 25:07Speaker 1: and then they just take it to the drama level,
- 25:09Speaker 1: because wasn't it like a former producer from The Bachelor, Like,
- 25:12Speaker 1: I mean just the original concept, you know what I mean,
- 25:15Speaker 1: But just the fact that they have all these weird
- 25:18Speaker 1: storylines about somebody jumping off of a roof. You know,
- 25:20Speaker 1: it's just do you remember though that in Paradise that
- 25:24Speaker 1: one year where yeah, so I was sleeping with like
- 25:27Speaker 1: the audio guys, but the audio out the window that
- 25:31Speaker 1: was like the best thing ever. I know, they need
- 25:35Speaker 1: to have more behind the scene. I mean, you know,
- 25:37Speaker 1: let's like get the cast members to start mankling with
- 25:41Speaker 1: the you know who's I think is the hottest handler,
- 25:45Speaker 1: Hot Ryan. I call it hot Ryan, Ladies. Ladies, there's
- 25:48Speaker 1: a few of us here that are totally clueless on
- 25:50Speaker 1: your girl party over there, and you might want to
- 25:51Speaker 1: not forget your friends. Be sorry, Ben, you know hot Ryan? Ben?
- 25:55Speaker 1: You know who? I think it's hot Ryan? Right? I
- 25:57Speaker 1: think I know exactly shout out to Ryan Martinez. He is.
- 26:04Speaker 1: Why can't He's like a little Joe Jonas wanna be.
- 26:07Speaker 1: And I've always know exactly who you're talking about in paradise.
- 26:12Speaker 1: Sometimes if like there's not anyone there for me, I'm like, Ryan,
- 26:15Speaker 1: can you just infiltrate your way into the cast, because yeah,
- 26:20Speaker 1: my sister and I would flirt with him shamelessly. For
- 26:23Speaker 1: those playing at home, what these girls are talking about
- 26:26Speaker 1: is essentially sort of flirting with a producer pretty much, which, yeah,
- 26:31Speaker 1: like a production assistant, production assistant. But have you ever
- 26:35Speaker 1: developed feelings for a producer? No? No, no, but I
- 26:40Speaker 1: can see how that could happen. I mean, they're basically
- 26:42Speaker 1: like your therapists. The entire experience. It's like you have
- 26:45Speaker 1: so much more time with them than you do the
- 26:47Speaker 1: actual person that you're dating. So on my season, a
- 26:51Speaker 1: couple of my girlfriends um have developed some crushy feelings
- 26:57Speaker 1: on the lawn. Yeah, as such like a a unique, wonderful, captivating,
- 27:05Speaker 1: charming personality that were like, oh my gosh, I'm feeling
- 27:09Speaker 1: more for him than I am. The bachelor. Then, have
- 27:12Speaker 1: you ever well, did you on the Bachelorette when you
- 27:14Speaker 1: were on Caitlin season, you didn't have a crush on
- 27:16Speaker 1: like you know, Nas, Jessica, Namious, all of them? Yeah,
- 27:24Speaker 1: all the above. I can see how happens. Yeah, that
- 27:27Speaker 1: makes sense. I mean, who doesn't love somebody that will
- 27:30Speaker 1: fit with you for three hours just talk about yourself.
- 27:35Speaker 1: I mean, anybody's going to feel something right right, and
- 27:38Speaker 1: anyone who can just like make you cry basically on demand,
- 27:41Speaker 1: you know, within a few weeks. It's like they can
- 27:43Speaker 1: say they can be like so, but are you open
- 27:46Speaker 1: to being loved? And I'm like yeah, yeah, and then innocently,
- 27:56Speaker 1: like you know, pick you up without let and tell
- 27:59Speaker 1: you how beautiful you are and how deserving you are
- 28:02Speaker 1: of love and deserving you are. Finding somebody that's special
- 28:05Speaker 1: to you without actually being creepy because they've already lived
- 28:07Speaker 1: in that world with It's a special bond. It's a
- 28:12Speaker 1: special bond. Your heart is wide open and it's just
- 28:15Speaker 1: being crushed season after season by all right, Well, Ben,
- 28:22Speaker 1: I don't love if you remember, but you did promise
- 28:25Speaker 1: us to cook some blue apron and you still haven't
- 28:28Speaker 1: done that. So do you have a date there that
- 28:31Speaker 1: we should fly to Denver, that you're going to fly here?

- 31:15Speaker 1: in Lake Tahoe and called the Edgewood. It's at Edgewood,
- 31:21Speaker 1: But what is the professional name of it? The tournament
- 31:25Speaker 1: is the American Century. Um uh, let me just let
- 31:29Speaker 1: me just look it up. No, it's fine, I'll buy
- 31:31Speaker 1: you sometime. It airs on NBC. It's in Tahoe. They
- 31:35Speaker 1: play on the water and our friend Ben Higgins is
- 31:38Speaker 1: playing it invited to play. I think that's okay. So
- 31:44Speaker 1: it's the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship Tournament. And uh
- 31:48Speaker 1: it has literally been I texted Amy right away when
- 31:51Speaker 1: they act because this is a buck. I mean, I'm
- 31:53Speaker 1: not kidding. When it was funny, it was almost a joke.
- 31:56Speaker 1: When the Backslor originally happened, somebody asked me and I
- 31:59Speaker 1: could go back, and I find this interview that said,
- 32:01Speaker 1: what's one thing that you want like to happen out
- 32:03Speaker 1: of this outside of love? One thing? I remember saying,
- 32:06Speaker 1: I want to play in some awesome golf tournaments, and
- 32:08Speaker 1: Tahoe was number one of my life. It is literally
- 32:10Speaker 1: like you have Steph Curry and Justin timber Lake and um,
- 32:14Speaker 1: Michael Jordan's and like everybody. And then this year I
- 32:18Speaker 1: got a text It's like, were you playing this year?
- 32:20Speaker 1: And I was like, you're three years late, but not
- 32:23Speaker 1: too late. Let's do it. Yeah. They thought they were
- 32:27Speaker 1: texting Ben Affleck Okay, Ben, you know how you got
- 32:37Speaker 1: your dad Master's tickets? And like your dad was crying
- 32:40Speaker 1: because you're so happy. Well, my dad got word of this,
- 32:43Speaker 1: and my dad is like, actually, why can't you give
- 32:46Speaker 1: me Master's tickets? And now I have been on the
- 32:48Speaker 1: hunt for Master's tickets for the past, you know, two weeks,
- 32:53Speaker 1: and every day it's like any update on the Masters,
- 32:56Speaker 1: And I'm like, Dad, I w don't think I have
- 32:57Speaker 1: Julia Roberts. I don't know how Ben did this. But
- 33:00Speaker 1: then like, I get the tickets for dear Evan Hanson
- 33:03Speaker 1: because my best friend, my best friend works at the PR,
- 33:06Speaker 1: at the PR company that reps them. And then he's like,
- 33:09Speaker 1: so you get Hot Broadway tickets, but you can't give
- 33:11Speaker 1: you Masters tickets. I'm like, Dad, apparently the Master's tickets
- 33:14Speaker 1: are harder than even the Super Bowl tickets. They're hard
- 33:17Speaker 1: they're really really difficult. Actually, I'll send the audio in.
- 33:21Speaker 1: I don't know if we'll be able to play it
- 33:22Speaker 1: or not on the podcast. We'll send the audio end
- 33:24Speaker 1: of my dad. UM and I on the phone together
- 33:26Speaker 1: when I told him he had Master's tickets client and
- 33:30Speaker 1: he's like, that's my bucket list item, the number one
- 33:33Speaker 1: bucket list item. My buddy, good friend and just one
- 33:37Speaker 1: of the best men I know. He's a great dad
- 33:39Speaker 1: and a great husband, Jack Johnson, He's a former Masters winner,
- 33:42Speaker 1: and I play in his golf tournament called the Zack
- 33:44Speaker 1: Johnson Foundation or Zack Johnson Classic every year. Um, listen
- 33:49Speaker 1: to the story real quick, because he is and and
- 33:51Speaker 1: a lot of people out there knows Jack Johnson is
- 33:53Speaker 1: and if you don't look them up. A year ago,
- 33:55Speaker 1: my dad went to the Jack Johnson Classic with me,
- 33:57Speaker 1: pulled Zack. You know, his dream was to be uh
- 34:01Speaker 1: in Augusta for the Masters one year, and Zach remembered that, Um,
- 34:05Speaker 1: even though he has a thousand things going on, texting
- 34:07Speaker 1: me about two months ago and said, hey, I got
- 34:09Speaker 1: your dad tickets to the Masters this year, just without
- 34:11Speaker 1: me even asking. What a great guy I mean, honestly,
- 34:14Speaker 1: and in the audios is my dad falling thing. Thank
- 34:17Speaker 1: you to Zack and thank you to me, And I'm pumped.
- 34:20Speaker 1: That's actually uh that's next week. We had to Augusta
- 34:23Speaker 1: for the Master's and I could not be more excited.
- 34:26Speaker 1: My dad went out and bought new tennis sues, he
- 34:28Speaker 1: bought new pants, a uster a new hat, he bought
- 34:31Speaker 1: new everything. He's gonna be looking to fly and pressed
- 34:36Speaker 1: and ready um to show up all of those professional golfers.
- 34:40Speaker 1: So ador uh that's really cool. It is, you know,
- 34:44Speaker 1: and and I mean I think in a week like this,
- 34:46Speaker 1: like I was talking about the beginning of the podcast,
- 34:47Speaker 1: I think this is just like a really cool thing
- 34:49Speaker 1: to do that is going to be an awesome memory.
- 34:52Speaker 1: How often in life do you get to actually do
- 34:54Speaker 1: something that you said the Buffalost item like, especially something
- 34:56Speaker 1: like the Masters where it's not easy to get to,
- 34:59Speaker 1: it's not easy to get take too, it's expensive. Um,
- 35:01Speaker 1: Zack Johnson and and just being the guy he is,
- 35:04Speaker 1: went out of his way to make sure that, like
- 35:06Speaker 1: my dad and I have a memory that last this repord.
- 35:08Speaker 1: So I'm pretty pumped about it. So so great. Um,
- 35:12Speaker 1: My dad and I went to the Super Bowl I
- 35:13Speaker 1: don't know if we talked about this, but yeah, this
- 35:15Speaker 1: is one of those things. It's just like definitely definitely

- 36:31Speaker 1: when I watched that, and I was like, this show
- 36:33Speaker 1: is great. I'm gonna go on this. So you yeah,
- 36:40Speaker 1: I've heard it once or twice before, so it's been
- 36:43Speaker 1: discussed a bit. When you got that first call back
- 36:46Speaker 1: where you're like, see it's happening. Literally, I know, literally
- 36:49Speaker 1: went to the casting call and like at the casting call,
- 36:51Speaker 1: she's like, well, we normally wait and call people back,
- 36:53Speaker 1: but here's the packet for to get in that packet
- 36:55Speaker 1: and I was like, I thread it out of there.

- 37:02Speaker 1: here's a little toebag. Put it in there. I was like,

- 37:09Speaker 1: right now, I'm going to the next stage and I
- 37:11Speaker 1: was like, I'm gonna be on the show. And my
- 37:12Speaker 1: little brother was cracking up and he's like, you are,
- 37:15Speaker 1: like you are going to be on it. And I
- 37:16Speaker 1: called my mom and she's like, back, please don't, please
- 37:19Speaker 1: don't go to the next round because I know you're
- 37:20Speaker 1: going to get cast. She's like, please don't. My dad
- 37:25Speaker 1: was just like I kept saying, you know. After I
- 37:27Speaker 1: got that packet, I was like, it's doing it. We're
- 37:29Speaker 1: doing it. We're doing It's gonna be a real thing.
- 37:31Speaker 1: And then he was like no, it's not. No, it's
- 37:34Speaker 1: not and then he was like stop thinking like that.
- 37:36Speaker 1: In the next round, I was like, see what's happening. Well,
- 37:41Speaker 1: another thing that like is a little less I mean,
- 37:44Speaker 1: but really that's something I wanted to do for a
- 37:45Speaker 1: long time, and so it was awesome. It was such
- 37:47Speaker 1: a great experience. Um but also like I don't know
- 37:52Speaker 1: if I talked about this on the show, but I
- 37:54Speaker 1: used to rock climb competitively and my goal I was little,
- 37:57Speaker 1: and then I my goal was to get an invite
- 37:59Speaker 1: to Nashville. When I got one of those when I
- 38:01Speaker 1: was fourteen, so that was really exciting. That's really exciting.
- 38:04Speaker 1: Ben I actually had a bucket list item happened recently.
- 38:08Speaker 1: I didn't talk about it on the podcast. I don't
- 38:10Speaker 1: think I talked about it yet. Um okay, So it's
- 38:14Speaker 1: the coolest moment, the coolest moment of my life. So
- 38:22Speaker 1: is this about? I did talk about it on me.
- 38:26Speaker 1: I don't get it. Scream like two sorry, just on
- 38:31Speaker 1: that Jimmy fallon you. Okay, well, Ben, so check this out.
- 38:38Speaker 1: My sister's boyfriend was deejaying um a party and then
- 38:43Speaker 1: my sister shows up with him, and then she immediately
- 38:45Speaker 1: texted me. She goes, oh my god, Ashley Lance Bass
- 38:47Speaker 1: is the one throwing this party. It's totally nineties themed.
- 38:50Speaker 1: They're only playing boy bands on the screens. He's supposed
- 38:54Speaker 1: to play boy band music. And she's like, you have
- 38:56Speaker 1: to get here soon. So I roll in. It was
- 38:58Speaker 1: like my birthday, did her? So I roll in deep
- 39:01Speaker 1: with bachelor people. It was me, It was Nick Cupcake,
- 39:06Speaker 1: Christina Shulman and then as and my sister and uh,
- 39:11Speaker 1: I'm going and planning my my fan girl attack on Lance. Okay,
- 39:15Speaker 1: where is he? I'm not gonna, you know, I just
- 39:17Speaker 1: want to wait till he's not talking to anyone and
- 39:19Speaker 1: be like really classy. All of a sudden, Lance taps
- 39:23Speaker 1: me on the shoulder and goes, oh, hello there, and
- 39:27Speaker 1: I go, oh my god, I got Did my sister
- 39:29Speaker 1: tell you early on? You know, because he had instructed
- 39:33Speaker 1: the DJ boyfriend to play a certain type of music.
- 39:36Speaker 1: I was like, did my sister tell you early on
- 39:38Speaker 1: that I was coming? And he's like, oh, I didn't
- 39:40Speaker 1: even know that was your sister. I'm just a huge
- 39:41Speaker 1: fan of yours that I'm sorry. I could scream, I
- 39:45Speaker 1: could scream really loud, but I won't do it. And um,
- 39:49Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my gosh. He's like, I'm so excited
- 39:51Speaker 1: for like everything that's happening in your life, Like it
- 39:53Speaker 1: was so great to watch the Winter Games and like
- 39:55Speaker 1: everything finally happened for you. And I was like, okay, well,
- 40:00Speaker 1: um well we're not together anymore, but like that's so
- 40:03Speaker 1: sweet that you followed my personal life. I can't believe
- 40:06Speaker 1: that you followed my personal life. And anyway, we had
- 40:08Speaker 1: a lot to talk about, apparently, and Nick was Nick
- 40:12Speaker 1: came over. He was like, oh, I didn't know you
- 40:13Speaker 1: guys were friends. I was like, we are not friends.
- 40:16Speaker 1: We just had that natural, amazing chemistry and then I
- 40:19Speaker 1: showed Lance a picture of my room when I was younger. Anyway,
- 40:22Speaker 1: that's it. So when people from now on say, what's
- 40:25Speaker 1: your greatest accomplishment in life? My teen idol who I
- 40:29Speaker 1: had like three hundred faces of him on my walls,
- 40:33Speaker 1: Like because I had actually calm down for one second. Okay,
- 40:39Speaker 1: remember you're doing a podcast here. When you say you
- 40:42Speaker 1: showed him a picture of your room as a child,
- 40:44Speaker 1: what exactly does that mean? The posters and all the
- 40:49Speaker 1: posters of him on the wall, three pictures of him
- 40:51Speaker 1: in your wall? Like, literally is a Lance that bedroom? Well? No,
- 40:54Speaker 1: I mean Justin was my guy obviously, but my second favorite.
- 40:58Speaker 1: And I had three fifty posters. Used to count. I
- 41:01Speaker 1: used to count because like pups, you make a path there.
- 41:09Speaker 1: And then I moved to the ceiling, but I only
- 41:11Speaker 1: did the big posters that you buy at the store
- 41:13Speaker 1: on the ceiling. But it was but I don't I
- 41:19Speaker 1: would put my child in therapy if they wanted that
- 41:21Speaker 1: many post It wasn't Gary, aren't you guys. I was
- 41:25Speaker 1: a twelve year old and I had really high ceilings
- 41:27Speaker 1: and my mom would like spot me on the ladder.
- 41:30Speaker 1: But it was like a work of art sometimes like
- 41:32Speaker 1: every year, well not every year, every couple of months
- 41:36Speaker 1: I would redo it with new updated posters. So I
- 41:39Speaker 1: would take a whole ball down and then I like
- 41:41Speaker 1: puzzle piece it together. I had no posters. But here's
- 41:44Speaker 1: my question. So you've got this big crush on Lance No, no,
- 41:47Speaker 1: not a crush, okay, just love. Let me let me
- 41:50Speaker 1: ask this questions obsessions? When you find out he's gay?
- 41:55Speaker 1: Oh what happened? Like? What does it do to your body? Well?
- 41:59Speaker 1: I mean that was I mean he came out when
- 42:02Speaker 1: he was when I was like twenty, You were over
- 42:05Speaker 1: it and I wasn't. I love him like as a person.
- 42:08Speaker 1: But Justin was the one that I imagined myself Mary
- 42:10Speaker 1: because our friend Brittany was Superla Claken was my other one,
- 42:16Speaker 1: Clay Agin. I was obsessed with him in love and love.
- 42:21Speaker 1: But um yeah, he also didn't come out until later
- 42:24Speaker 1: and she cried, Ben, who was your crush when you
- 42:27Speaker 1: were like a teenager? Not now? But when you who
- 42:31Speaker 1: you have posters of? I mean this is easy. I'm
- 42:35Speaker 1: not very like, Oh, Tiffany Theason? Should I have her
- 42:39Speaker 1: on this show? How would you feel? Like? Is this
- 42:43Speaker 1: like an am I too young for this. She's um
- 42:46Speaker 1: Tiffany Theason. She's from Stay by the Bell. I didn't
- 42:48Speaker 1: watch it by the Bell. I have to see I
- 42:50Speaker 1: didn't watch it by the Bell. No, no, I wasn't
- 42:53Speaker 1: allowed to watch a lot of it. Wasn't really allowed
- 42:55Speaker 1: to watch. Ben, how do you think you'll do interviewing
- 42:58Speaker 1: Tiffany Theason? Because I'm going to make that happy then,
- 43:00Speaker 1: because I want to see the awkwardness. I don't know.
- 43:04Speaker 1: If he's already giggling and not being able to complete
- 43:07Speaker 1: a sentence, I would be so excited. I'm not like,
- 43:11Speaker 1: oh my gosh, you can barely he's a sentence together.
- 43:15Speaker 1: I have a new show. I heard that, Ben brent
- 43:23Speaker 1: Nielsen a k one of your bachelorettes. She looks just
- 43:28Speaker 1: like her. I know, I know there's a lot to that.
- 43:31Speaker 1: I thought about it before. It's a big deal. Well,
- 43:34Speaker 1: and it's not. It's not just her look, because obviously
- 43:37Speaker 1: she's a beautiful person, but Tiffany amber Sis and like
- 43:39Speaker 1: Kelly Cat, was just a good, down home girl who
- 43:42Speaker 1: wanted and a good partner. He would joke the diner
- 43:47Speaker 1: with a smile on her face, ready for a good
- 43:49Speaker 1: time with my friends. Is this real? Life Christians is

- 54:46Speaker 1: I found girls so hard over I bringing him up

- 54:50Speaker 1: like trying to get him to slide into my d ms.
- 54:52Speaker 1: But I had a huge crush on Peter on Rachel season,

- 55:15Speaker 1: I don't know anyway. You know what, We're gonna go
- 55:24Speaker 1: back to Bachelor talk for just a second. Um when
- 55:28Speaker 1: the show ends and you go as far as you did,
- 55:31Speaker 1: you have been there for seven weeks? How odd was
- 55:35Speaker 1: it to readjust back to real life? Did you have
- 55:38Speaker 1: what I called the post Bachelor depression? It's not a
- 55:40Speaker 1: real depression, but it's like, oh, excuse yeah, yeah that
- 55:46Speaker 1: I want to sit inside and talk about the Bachelor
- 55:49Speaker 1: and nothing but the Bachelor. With my mom for just
- 55:52Speaker 1: for a whole week, right, No, because there's so much
- 55:55Speaker 1: that goes on and you're catching everybody else but everyone
- 55:58Speaker 1: else up, but you're also trying to figure out what
- 56:00Speaker 1: you were feeling when you're going through it, and it's
- 56:02Speaker 1: such a dramatic change in life style and everything overnight.
- 56:06Speaker 1: There's so much the process. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. My family
- 56:11Speaker 1: members and friends with like literally asked me very politely.
- 56:14Speaker 1: They'd be like, hey, can we stop talking about the Bachelor?
- 56:18Speaker 1: And I was like, well, this was my Yeah, this
- 56:20Speaker 1: was my life for like several weeks and something that
- 56:24Speaker 1: you know, excited about, isn't it funny? Every day I
- 56:27Speaker 1: was like apologizing. It's like I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really,
- 56:29Speaker 1: I just I can't get out of it yet. I
- 56:30Speaker 1: have a You know that brings up an interesting point, Ben,
- 56:33Speaker 1: I'd love to hear your thoughts and you know, all
- 56:36Speaker 1: the ladies. Is it like the day after Christmas when
- 56:40Speaker 1: it ends? You know how you have that let down? Ben,
- 56:42Speaker 1: Like when you after the presence of an open did
- 56:45Speaker 1: you get the blues a little bit? Definitely scaring um? Well,
- 56:52Speaker 1: I didn't hear the last part, but the first part
- 56:55Speaker 1: you get the blues. I mean, it's it's such a
- 56:58Speaker 1: weird thing. It's kind of that same thing I was
- 57:00Speaker 1: talking about not to go back. But it's like the
- 57:01Speaker 1: finality of anything is a bitter sweet right when when
- 57:06Speaker 1: when anything end, even if it's bad, you still in
- 57:09Speaker 1: a sense like hold onto it or you you don't
- 57:12Speaker 1: miss it. Maybe maybe you're happiest gone, but you're used
- 57:15Speaker 1: to that being a constant in your life. And so
- 57:17Speaker 1: when that ends, there's kind of this question of well,
- 57:20Speaker 1: what's next? And I I confirmed that question. I don't
- 57:23Speaker 1: know about the women here, and I would love to
- 57:25Speaker 1: hear their thoughts. I confronted that question head on in
- 57:27Speaker 1: a pretty hard way. As soon as this was all done.
- 57:31Speaker 1: I have I remember the moment. I remember the time
- 57:33Speaker 1: that I said, well, now what's next? Do I go
- 57:35Speaker 1: back to my desktop? Do I go back to life?
- 57:38Speaker 1: Like I'm now? You know, for me, I was engaged
- 57:40Speaker 1: do and that Lauren? I had to have those conversations
- 57:43Speaker 1: what exactly this looks like? Now? Do we pursue, you know,
- 57:45Speaker 1: a co hosting career, do we stay in l A,
- 57:49Speaker 1: do we get new jobs? Do we post on social
- 57:52Speaker 1: media for a while? To like let that kind of
- 57:53Speaker 1: thing happen. UM, and now I mean that's that's really
- 57:58Speaker 1: where where my recent career starts. Was me saying, I
- 58:01Speaker 1: don't know what's next, but I know it can't be
- 58:04Speaker 1: anything that's solely focused on me because that's just gonna
- 58:06Speaker 1: make me feel so weird down the road. But yeah,
- 58:10Speaker 1: I definitely know. To answer your question, I got the
- 58:13Speaker 1: blue I wish I wouldn't have, but I don't know
- 58:16Speaker 1: how you not how you don't. Yeah, it's true. So
- 58:20Speaker 1: I guess like that begs a question to you girls,
- 58:22Speaker 1: what is next? I don't know. I have no idea.
- 58:26Speaker 1: I think we're just kind of enjoying like being able
- 58:29Speaker 1: to travel and um experience new things through the experience. UM.
- 58:33Speaker 1: And also a lot of the girls got extremely close afterwards,
- 58:36Speaker 1: so um, being able to go through that together has
- 58:38Speaker 1: really helpful. Yeah, back at you are still part time
- 58:41Speaker 1: nanny NG, Yeah, I am. It's been really hard to
- 58:45Speaker 1: juggle that. UM my family. People always ask because travel
- 58:49Speaker 1: and stuff there, like how do you do that? Well,
- 58:52Speaker 1: it's nice because my nanny mom works from home, so
- 58:54Speaker 1: like if I do really need days off, I can
- 58:56Speaker 1: get them. Um. And then they're like in I think
- 58:59Speaker 1: I'm Taiwan for two weeks right now, So I've got
- 59:01Speaker 1: a couple of weeks off to like travel and get
- 59:03Speaker 1: all my you know, bachelor stuff together. Yeah, Kendall, Or
- 59:07Speaker 1: did you go back to work? Yeah? Actually I was.
- 59:10Speaker 1: I just got done production design and so I'm still
- 59:14Speaker 1: doing that. It's kind of funny because I've worked behind me.
- 59:16Speaker 1: I do work behind the camera, so it's funny thing
- 59:18Speaker 1: behind the camera again after being in front of the
- 59:20Speaker 1: camera for so well, what kind of stuff designs? Have
- 59:23Speaker 1: you done? Anything we would know? Um? I mean I've
- 59:26Speaker 1: done We'll do something at Disney promo for a show,
- 59:29Speaker 1: so basically just just getting a bunch of props, shopping
- 59:31Speaker 1: for props and pretty little steps together. Um, I'm freelanced,
- 59:35Speaker 1: so literally, I have done so many random things. Both
- 59:40Speaker 1: of you. Has it been weird over the past month
- 59:42Speaker 1: or so to get recognized in public? I want to know,
- 59:44Speaker 1: like your weirdest fan girl? We have one together that um, well,
- 59:51Speaker 1: you know, we both live in l A. And I
- 59:52Speaker 1: think that it's like people here don't really like even
- 59:56Speaker 1: if they recognize you, it's kind of more of a
- 59:58Speaker 1: double take and then they'll just like leave you alone.
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: Like I don't get approached that off in itay, um,
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: except except when we go out to bars and people
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: get drunk. I think they get they like lose their inhibitions,
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: and then they'll come up and they'll want to chat
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: for like twenty minutes, which is kind of funny. Did
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: you get any weird questions? Uh no, they're all the same.
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, tells us, tells us. But I think
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: New York was a lot more. A lot of came
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: up in New York than l A. Yeah, we were
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: surprised by that. We were both in New York a
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, and yeah, we could like it
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: was like literally every block there was someone who would
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: stop us, which was kind of wild. I wasn't expecting
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: that goes hard but yeah, but what was really cool
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: is we were walking and you know, it's always funny
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: to see what kind of fans you have, Like you
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: there's the typical like you know, late teens, early twenties, um,
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: like white girls who will be like, oh my god.
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: But then it's funny like we were walking in New
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: York and this like sixty something year old like man
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: stopped us. He goes Becca Kendall and he was like
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: so excited and we start talking and it turns out
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: he's the screenwriter of Precious God and he was, yeah,
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: like I see standard view. That is amazing. Yeah, that's
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: definitely an amazing moment. That was really cool. And he
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: was like, can I get your girls emails? I was like,
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: oh my gosh, totally cool. That is so cool. Do
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: you feel like after these seasons and because there's one
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: thing I've noticed, the women are all really good friends
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: and they kind of like joined together and they traveled
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: together and they get along great and not the guy don't.
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: I mean I love the guys from the Bachelorette that
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: that was with. I mean, you know, Jared, the Jared's
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: of the World and the Boost and Chris Member, Like
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: I love those guys, but we never hung out. I
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: mean I haven't seen booths Sin and he was my
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: best friend on the show, Like, I haven't seen him
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: since the finale of Caitlin season. We talk. But you
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: think that's common? I mean, why is it that the
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: guys don't really group together but the women seem to
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: really you know, continue to stay close and they travel
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: together and they do all these things. Um, I'm not sure.
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: I just feel like having that support is really helpful
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: because I don know what to do with my mind,
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: and sometimes afterwards I don't know how to process everything
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: or understand going on. I mean having Rebecca and ah,
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: we're close and then girls make plans and guys, it's
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: what it is, you know what, you know what Else though,
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: I think it's I think a lot of times it
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: can be really hard to make female friends because there's
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: always this weird thing of like, oh, I love your shoes,
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: like oh yeah, where did you get your top? And
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: it's like you don't know sometimes how to dive into
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: like emotional relationships with other women. And I think being
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: on the Bachelor, like we were also emotionally open with
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: each other and so it's not it's like sometimes they
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: can I don't know if you're a woman, and it's
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: it's it's almost like hanging out with women the first time.
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: It's like a first date, and it's like there's kind
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: of like a lot of pressure, a lot of pressure,
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: a lot of nerves, a lot of nerves. Um, I
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: get more nervous sometimes like hanging out with other women,
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: like who I want to be my friend? And I
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: do only first date? Yeah, and you guys, you've already
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: dated the same guy, so like, if you've got to
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: pass that, I think you can probably be friends forever.
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: But I think it's a great common I think it's
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: a very easy common ground to have been on the show.
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: So now we just have that way of connecting and
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: then going from there. Now we have all, you know,
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: so many other things in common now we share, but
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: many like dimensions of each other through the show. You know,
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: we've seen each other when we are sobbing, or when
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: we're really happy for a date, or it's being happy
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: for each other as well. I think that was just
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: really awesome having a group where when someone else on
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: a date, sure we saw a little weird, but we
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: were still excited for them and had that support. But
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: let's happing out of the show. It's hard not to
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: have that. What's happened with core Crystal? Is she back
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: in the mix? Are still on that? Yeah? I'm friendly,
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: I'm good terms with her. I I face time ter
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: shortly after the show because we were pretty we had
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: some close moments on the show that weren't that you
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: didn't see um. But yeah, I mean I if I'm
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: in San Diego, I would hit her up and go
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: get lunch or something. I think she's really close with
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: anybody though, yeah, purposely does live in San Diego. But
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: I mean she reached out to me after the show,
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: and you know, I did a point to apologize and
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: to you know, have a good connection, and I really
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: appreciated that from her. I mean, I don't talk to
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: her too often, but the tops we do have are
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: you know, really good. And I think I think despite yes,
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: it was a crazy time, but um, you know, it's
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: hard not to feel like he took a little bit
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: crazy and an invited so different, so unique, So it's

- 1:06:49Speaker 1: in Paradise. Becky, you'll be emparadised. We're all going to Paris.
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: I'm not going. I'm not guy less. Oh I wish

- 1:06:59Speaker 1: At you would know that the two of you, know,
- 1:07:02Speaker 1: I would who is going to be in paradise? So
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: I mean I can either confirm nor deny. Actually nothing
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: is confirmed? Is confirmed? Yeah? Okay? So yeah me, I
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: would say, I mean Kendall, uh and your boyfriend. I
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: think seen might have something going on. I can't confirm
- 1:07:22Speaker 1: more denying that. I think that's too not with me.
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: There's still many months with them speaking of Oh I'm sure.
- 1:07:31Speaker 1: I'm sure Crystal will be invited and I'm sure she
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: will accept as well. Um oh yeah, T is probably
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: going to have a paradise engagement. I'm sure. Why do
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: you say it's because it's funny. I mean, just like
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: what past guys, Um, I know, not something from Beck
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: to season. I just have a lots from back of season,
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: but like, who are we missing? I know that we
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: were talking it would be funny if Peter came, because yeah,
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: we're all into Peter, right, I think it'd be funny
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: if that would definitely stirred up some drama because I
- 1:07:59Speaker 1: think our whole cast to women were women who were
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: expecting Peter, so that might be some drama. Although I
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: bet there's going to be some great new hunks on
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: Becca season, so he might be old news by the
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: time in the first season years. I mean all I
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: can say guys and I can't give names, but I
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: have done a date, one on one date for Becca
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: for Cosmo, and then I did Access Hollywood and I
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: interviewed five guys. I covered a one on one day
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: and so I've seen six guys and that good. Okay,
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: you know what I'm calling it right now? Because when
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: there was the live after the Final Rose things, she
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: had some of the guys come on, I swear, and
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: you might actually maybe he was on the one on
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: one day, but I swear that guy Blake with the horse.
- 1:08:37Speaker 1: I'm calling it right now, the top three. I'm saying
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: top three. Okay, fantasy suites, that's all I'm gonna say. Okay,
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: which one do you want to start with? Ben? Let's
- 1:08:50Speaker 1: go for an amazing question to as we're looking here,
- 1:08:55Speaker 1: I want to know isating anybody in the Bachelor world?
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: I don't think so. No. I thought that could be
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: a juicy topics for next week. I bet Caroline will
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: be there in Paradise too, But basically everyone who's like
- 1:09:07Speaker 1: in a little like a girl squad or whatever he
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: came up on the stage. I'm sure most of those
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: women will be there. Um who else from her season? Crystal?
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: Hopefully some of the women that didn't get as much
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: screen time would be kind of fun. There's always one
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: or two. Yeah, Okay, let's start that with this one. Becca,
- 1:09:26Speaker 1: you can answer it is ari a jerk Face is
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: the title to hold your comment, Becca, Hold your comment
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: until the email is read. It says from Gabriel, Hey, guys,
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: do you mind addressing Britt Robertson's comment on Ari about
- 1:09:44Speaker 1: Ari on your podcast? Link below to the comment she said. Okay,
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: here's what she said. That Robertson is um cute little actor.
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: No no, no, I thought it was um No. She's
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: an actress. She was on a Steed w show and
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: now she's on that We the People, that new show
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: on ABC. Thank you. She's a good little good actress.
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: I shouldn't say a good little actress. Yeah, well she's yeah, Okay. Anyway,
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: said I met Ari before all of the stuff went down.
- 1:10:18Speaker 1: I was very excited to meet him and was hoping
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: he'd tell me who he chooses. But he was just
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: kind of a Dirk face. I'm not gonna lie. He
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: acted like taking a picture with me was the most
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: painful thing he's ever done. And I was like, broa,
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: oh my god, this is great. Bro, this is what
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: you signed up for. You're here for us to take
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: photos and make fun of you. I love this girl. Okay, hey, Becca,
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: what do you think? Is he a b Okay? Just
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: not for Is this something that seems like all right?
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: Because from everything I hear, he's always been super kind
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: to the media. Yeah, he seems Actually, I will say
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: that I think he's a nice I've said this before,
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: I said I think he's a nice guy. I don't
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: think nice always is the equivalent of a good guy. However,
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: that does seem a little out of character. I don't.
- 1:11:11Speaker 1: I don't. Actually, I wouldn't imagine he would be a
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: jerk to people who are like fans of him or whatever,
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: I want to meet him. I'm actually kind of surprised
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: by that. Maybe he was evan an off day or something.
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: I wouldn't say he's a I think. I don't. I
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: don't think he's a jerk, because that's just somebody who's
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: like impolite and just kind of like a general asshole.
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: I wouldn't actually say that about him, honestly. I mean,
- 1:11:36Speaker 1: I would just think, too, you signed up to be
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: the Bachelor? Are you signed up to be the Bachelor?
- 1:11:41Speaker 1: By the way, I did hear from an insight source
- 1:11:44Speaker 1: that Becca as the Bachelor has been incredible to the media,
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: But sure, you know she's you wake up, you know,
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: sometimes you have a date till four a m. In
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: the morning, This is common, and then you have to
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: wake up before anybody else has to depressed at like
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: seven day for the life of the Batchlor and Batchlor.
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: I mean, it happens, and it's terrible. I'm not going
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: to say it's not. It is until you've done it.
- 1:12:08Speaker 1: Nobody understands how brutal is. But I hear, and this
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: doesn't always happen. That she has been absolutely incredible and
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: has realized that it's not ideal for anybody, and that
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: there's people that you know, are working their jobs to
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: make sure this happens. So she's she's doing a great
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: job with that. My point is, when you agree to
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: be the Bestlor Batchlor Bachelor, you are agreeing to a
- 1:12:29Speaker 1: tough schedule with a ton of media and a ton
- 1:12:31Speaker 1: of people always around you. So I mean, I hope,
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: I hope that she's maybe just kind of saying this,
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: you know, tongue in cheek without necessarily meaning it. But
- 1:12:41Speaker 1: that's the Robertson said, well wants to see what do
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: you think we're gonna stop talking about Ari? By the way,
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: that soon, hopefully when Becca season starts airing out over
- 1:12:50Speaker 1: although I wonder, I mean, I honestly wonder if her
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: season is going to be peppered with various like Ari references.
- 1:12:56Speaker 1: You know, yeah, I don't think so. I think every
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: but he's done. Okay, yeah, yes, um I have I
- 1:13:08Speaker 1: have an email for you. Okay, I'm excited for it.
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: It's called It's entitled what bugs Ben from Elizabeth. I
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: love Ben, I really do. However, he is just always
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: so politically correct and wants to please everyone. He never
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: says anything negative. I understand that he has a public platform,
- 1:13:27Speaker 1: and it makes sense that he would never want to
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: hurt anyone's feelings that might listen to the podcast. And
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: that is what makes him such a sweet person. It's
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: a great quality to have. But as where as it sounds,
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: I just want to hear him complain about something. I
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: feel like it would be refreshing to know what really
- 1:13:40Speaker 1: grinds Ben's gears, what really kisses him off. I want
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: him to rant about something. Complain about a bad day
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: or traffic or loud chewing, are people who cut in
- 1:13:49Speaker 1: line at the grocery store or something. I want to
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: hear Ben bitch. This is obviously written in a light
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: hard way. Love you guys, EXO. I've been Elizabeth. I
- 1:13:58Speaker 1: love that. That's the great email. Then let's put two
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: minutes on the clock, and let ben just okay, but
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: let me let me enter into this. Of course, here
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: comes the politician. So I do get Okay, my reaction
- 1:14:15Speaker 1: to things are awful always they always have been. I
- 1:14:18Speaker 1: react terribly. But what I've learned over time is most
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: of the time when my react, like when I react
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: to something, I get trustrated or annoyed or whatever. I
- 1:14:26Speaker 1: really I quickly realized that I was in the wrong
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: and that it's not the right thing to do. And
- 1:14:31Speaker 1: so when there's a little grace given to me from
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: my friends or family or from Ashley or whatever, then
- 1:14:37Speaker 1: if they're just like, okay, this has just been being
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: a terrible person, that his reactions are awful, then then
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: it usually plays out so they don't get that upset
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: because I realized that most of the time in the wrong.
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: So that being said, two minutes of the clock. Okay, Ready,
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: I am sick entire of people promoting themselves. I think
- 1:15:03Speaker 1: it is absolutely ridiculous. I think confidence is important, I
- 1:15:07Speaker 1: think confidence is needed, but I am tired of other
- 1:15:10Speaker 1: people talking about themselves in the way that's self promoting. Okay, So,
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: for example, we do something wrong in life, right, you
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: make a mistake, you've you've heard a friendship, you said
- 1:15:20Speaker 1: an inappropriate thing in an inappropriate time. Why then do
- 1:15:24Speaker 1: we feel the need to retweet to overcompensate for our
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: mistake by sharing everybody else's you know, praise of us. Okay,
- 1:15:36Speaker 1: So if I'm putting this up, this is just get
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: some my nerves every time. Okay. So for example, in
- 1:15:41Speaker 1: today's world, there's a lot of controversies and and things
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: happening that really are affecting people deeply. Okay, if you've
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: made a mistake, if you've done something stupid, own it,
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: learn from it. Okay, let it sit in. Understand that
- 1:15:56Speaker 1: we were all human. We often make mistakes. But I'm
- 1:15:59Speaker 1: sticking tired of people making his mistakes and then just
- 1:16:02Speaker 1: retweeting all these really nice things that other people say
- 1:16:05Speaker 1: about them, like oh I still support you, I still
- 1:16:07Speaker 1: got your back, Oh look at you, You're so pretty
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: and you're so nice. It drives me crazy because what
- 1:16:13Speaker 1: it does, is it it? What about when we when
- 1:16:18Speaker 1: we promote the podcast is bad because we didn't make
- 1:16:23Speaker 1: a mistake by doing not at all. You can promote
- 1:16:25Speaker 1: the things you're doing. I think you should. I promote
- 1:16:27Speaker 1: generous coffee. I promote the podcast, to promote the blog.
- 1:16:30Speaker 1: I'm saying, when you've made a mistake, when you really
- 1:16:32Speaker 1: should be owning up to the fact that you've messed up,
- 1:16:34Speaker 1: you've hurt somebody, like own it, take it in because
- 1:16:39Speaker 1: in this generation that we're in, it's so easy to
- 1:16:41Speaker 1: just move forward. Everybody forgets so quickly. We can find
- 1:16:44Speaker 1: a thousand people that are going to support us and
- 1:16:46Speaker 1: compliment us and lift us up. And that's absolute ridiculous
- 1:16:50Speaker 1: because for once in our lives, as a generation, asked
- 1:16:53Speaker 1: people we need to take responsibility for something. If it
- 1:16:58Speaker 1: is us standing up at the march for our lives,
- 1:17:01Speaker 1: that's amazing. Stand up for something like that, stand up
- 1:17:04Speaker 1: for something, but stop sitting down for every mistake you've missed. Tweet. Yes, okay,
- 1:17:11Speaker 1: well I've just come up with a new segment. It's
- 1:17:14Speaker 1: called I was Inspiring. I can do that. I can
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: I can picture two seconds easily. Yeah, but no, you
- 1:17:25Speaker 1: know I I have realized this and this is something.
- 1:17:28Speaker 1: This is actually something I learned in my relationship with Lauren.
- 1:17:30Speaker 1: That is probably the one one of the biggest takeaways
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: for me um is my reaction to things are terrible
- 1:17:36Speaker 1: I am in relationships or in friendships or in my
- 1:17:40Speaker 1: working environment, I get so reactionary in a negative way
- 1:17:44Speaker 1: because I get frustrated and when things aren't going right.
- 1:17:47Speaker 1: I am a terrible follower. I always have been. I
- 1:17:50Speaker 1: know that about myself. I don't like it about myself,
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: but I am a terrible follower, and and I'm not
- 1:17:56Speaker 1: okay with it. I need to figure it out. You say,
- 1:18:00Speaker 1: or you mean, like, if you're not in the leader position, Well,
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: if things are either not, that's in the leader position.
- 1:18:05Speaker 1: But if things aren't going how I think they should
- 1:18:06Speaker 1: be going. Mostly, yeah, to a leader that has allowing
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: things to progress in the way that I believe they
- 1:18:14Speaker 1: should progress, I can take a back seat to that.
- 1:18:16Speaker 1: I can't take a back seat to somebody that isn't
- 1:18:19Speaker 1: like even though they could be in the right. So
- 1:18:20Speaker 1: if I'm learning, I'm learning personally that my one of
- 1:18:24Speaker 1: my biggest mistakes is my reaction to things. But Ben,
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: you own your mistakes, so everything that is complained about
- 1:18:30Speaker 1: you don't do. So that's pretty good. Yeah, but I'm
- 1:18:35Speaker 1: sure there's more things. I mean, I'll send you a
- 1:18:37Speaker 1: nice little list. I can send you a list. WHOA
- 1:18:41Speaker 1: that's A. I think I think that's such a good
- 1:18:45Speaker 1: I think that was such a good point. Though, is
- 1:18:46Speaker 1: like allowing yourself to be held accountable by your peers
- 1:18:49Speaker 1: and by other people and accepting that you might not
- 1:18:52Speaker 1: be right all the time, which is difficult for him
- 1:18:55Speaker 1: to do as well. What are we scared of? You know?
- 1:18:58Speaker 1: I mean, if we're all really good friends here and
- 1:19:00Speaker 1: we all really care about each other, we're gonna allow
- 1:19:02Speaker 1: each other some grace, We're gonna allow each other from
- 1:19:04Speaker 1: some forgiveness. We're not perfect and that's okay, And and
- 1:19:07Speaker 1: I really I'm excited about this. Emai, I need to
- 1:19:09Speaker 1: move on here because Becca and actually name me. I
- 1:19:12Speaker 1: think you can all answer this um and then we'll
- 1:19:14Speaker 1: close out of this this beautiful podcast week other today
- 1:19:17Speaker 1: is said he has more feelings than I do. So
- 1:19:20Speaker 1: I made out with one of my friends at a
- 1:19:22Speaker 1: bar six weeks ago. We're both seniors in college and
- 1:19:26Speaker 1: have been friends since sophomore years, so I simply chalked
- 1:19:28Speaker 1: it up. It ye fun random night on the town. However,
- 1:19:31Speaker 1: almost seven weeks later, we're still hooking up. We spend
- 1:19:35Speaker 1: most of our free time together and have gone on
- 1:19:38Speaker 1: a handful of dates so I really feel that sparks
- 1:19:40Speaker 1: that sparked with him when I'm with him. Oh, but
- 1:19:42Speaker 1: I really don't feel that sparked with him when I'm
- 1:19:46Speaker 1: with him. I enjoy our time together. But for me,
- 1:19:48Speaker 1: it's more about companionship and having fun with that person
- 1:19:51Speaker 1: I care a lot about. He has apparently developed deeper
- 1:19:56Speaker 1: romantic feelings for me last week with spring break and
- 1:19:59Speaker 1: I to someone one night and thought nothing of it,
- 1:20:02Speaker 1: since exclusivity was never something we discussed. My question that
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: is rather simple. This is such a good question. I
- 1:20:11Speaker 1: think it's important. So let's set up the contact here.
- 1:20:14Speaker 1: They've been making out, they've been hooking up. There's been
- 1:20:16Speaker 1: no d T ring, which for all of you out there,
- 1:20:19Speaker 1: that's to find the relationship. There's no there's no no relation.
- 1:20:24Speaker 1: Is it wrong to continue a relationship with someone who
- 1:20:27Speaker 1: may have stronger feelings than you do, even if you
- 1:20:30Speaker 1: have made your own position abundantly clear? Most importantly, what
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: in the world should I do? Thanks for your help.
- 1:20:37Speaker 1: I have a lot of opinions on this too. I
- 1:20:40Speaker 1: I would love to hear in Becca and I personally,
- 1:20:42Speaker 1: I am at a loss here. I have zero advice
- 1:20:44Speaker 1: because I find myself in this situation in my life,
- 1:20:47Speaker 1: I found myself in this position multiple times and I
- 1:20:50Speaker 1: don't know what to do. So back up, please lay
- 1:20:53Speaker 1: it out there for well, I think it's just the
- 1:20:55Speaker 1: bottom line is it's all about communications. So you really
- 1:20:58Speaker 1: need to You can't beat around the bush with this
- 1:21:00Speaker 1: kind of thing. If you're hooking up with somebody and
- 1:21:02Speaker 1: you enjoy being around them and you want to keep
- 1:21:03Speaker 1: spending time with them, but you know they have deeper feelings,
- 1:21:06Speaker 1: you need to make it abundantly clear, even if it
- 1:21:09Speaker 1: sounds brutal. You need to say, like, if it's true,
- 1:21:11Speaker 1: I am not interested in you romantically, I do not
- 1:21:14Speaker 1: see us progressing into a relationship in the future and
- 1:21:17Speaker 1: that is not something that's going to change. If that's
- 1:21:19Speaker 1: too difficult for you to accept, then please let me
- 1:21:22Speaker 1: know and we can you know, back pedal and stop
- 1:21:25Speaker 1: hooking up whatever needs to happen for you. But I
- 1:21:28Speaker 1: think and at that point it's that other person's responsibility
- 1:21:31Speaker 1: for them to either. I mean, if they want to
- 1:21:34Speaker 1: keep like wrecking their heart and keep doing it, that's
- 1:21:36Speaker 1: kind of on them because you've been like, you know,
- 1:21:39Speaker 1: I enjoy being around you, I want to keep hooking
- 1:21:41Speaker 1: up with you. But if this is too hard for you,
- 1:21:43Speaker 1: please let me know. It's not going to happen between us.
- 1:21:45Speaker 1: The odds are the person is probably gonna say it's okay,
- 1:21:47Speaker 1: let's just continue doing this, and then that's the man.
- 1:21:53Speaker 1: I don't I don't know. I mean no, I mean
- 1:21:55Speaker 1: I completely get what you're saying back, but I think
- 1:21:58Speaker 1: that's just setting it up for harder break up at
- 1:22:01Speaker 1: some point if you don't know at what point? Okay,
- 1:22:04Speaker 1: So this is where I'm at right now. At what
- 1:22:07Speaker 1: point in life and dating? Because I'm trying to enter
- 1:22:09Speaker 1: back into the dating pool. I've dated, I've gone on dates.
- 1:22:12Speaker 1: At what point do you just like stop dating and
- 1:22:15Speaker 1: you start asking yourself like the standard is is this
- 1:22:18Speaker 1: my wife my husband or not? Like at what point
- 1:22:21Speaker 1: does that question have to enter into your thoughts? Well,
- 1:22:23Speaker 1: you know that that's what I went through. I think that.
- 1:22:27Speaker 1: I think that at that's two month point. I started
- 1:22:29Speaker 1: thinking about it pretty early on, to be honest, Like
- 1:22:32Speaker 1: I I think about it like first or second date.
- 1:22:34Speaker 1: I start considering it because like, I don't want to
- 1:22:36Speaker 1: waste my time. That is literally the worst part of
- 1:22:39Speaker 1: your age ever ever, so hard because I'm so much older,
- 1:22:44Speaker 1: and I don't ever have to think about that. I mean,
- 1:22:46Speaker 1: you can just have fun for a while and you
- 1:22:47Speaker 1: don't care, or for thirty years, for fifty years, it
- 1:22:50Speaker 1: doesn't matter because I'm past the like kid point and
- 1:22:55Speaker 1: then it doesn't have to be married. I find the
- 1:22:57Speaker 1: biggest challenge for you guys in your on these early
- 1:23:00Speaker 1: thirties is this I figured out, got figured out, gonna
- 1:23:03Speaker 1: figure out? And that is so detrimental in relationship. I'm like,
- 1:23:06Speaker 1: in a hurry for nothing? Do you guys think that
- 1:23:09Speaker 1: you can be with somebody for do you think that? When?
- 1:23:13Speaker 1: Do you know? When? Do you know if that person
- 1:23:15Speaker 1: is your long term or not? I think, by ben
- 1:23:18Speaker 1: in my ages, I think you can determine it pretty
- 1:23:20Speaker 1: early on. I'm really instinctual. So for me, it's like
- 1:23:24Speaker 1: I know, and I know right away, and I know
- 1:23:27Speaker 1: if I'm being honest with myself or not. Somebody that
- 1:23:30Speaker 1: you like for a while, are you still thinking at
- 1:23:32Speaker 1: your age you're you're thinking is this gonna be my
- 1:23:34Speaker 1: husband or not? Yes? You do do, Yeah, I do.
- 1:23:36Speaker 1: I think about it a lot, and and I know
- 1:23:38Speaker 1: in my heart, and sometimes I don't listen to my heart.
- 1:23:41Speaker 1: I know in my heart if it's something that could
- 1:23:43Speaker 1: be serious with someone and could actually work out or not.
- 1:23:46Speaker 1: But sometimes I go against it because I'm like, well, whatever,
- 1:23:48Speaker 1: this person is fun, which isn't really isn't fair. That
- 1:23:50Speaker 1: isn't fair. So I mean my point of view, I
- 1:23:53Speaker 1: think it's just if they're not your person forever, you
- 1:23:56Speaker 1: gotta let him go. I don't think you should be
- 1:23:59Speaker 1: hooking up for them for fun. But but also, like
- 1:24:01Speaker 1: you know, there's something that we said to about just
- 1:24:04Speaker 1: like dating to date, I mean, I mean have fun.
- 1:24:08Speaker 1: I think this is how we sell up all of this.
- 1:24:11Speaker 1: And then I think Beca said at that, what a
- 1:24:14Speaker 1: crazy podcast. This is what we get for having the
- 1:24:16Speaker 1: off season is bounced all around. Um. But when it
- 1:24:19Speaker 1: comes to this and this is how we like to
- 1:24:21Speaker 1: some of these podcasts because there is some real advice
- 1:24:24Speaker 1: here that everybody has given. Communication is key. Start talking
- 1:24:28Speaker 1: this through. If you're struggling in relationships, or you're struggling
- 1:24:31Speaker 1: with a breakup, or if you're struggling in life in general,
- 1:24:34Speaker 1: talk to somebody, Communicate with somebody, find a trusted friend,
- 1:24:38Speaker 1: find a confident on some level. Go to counseling. I've
- 1:24:40Speaker 1: been to counseling. We need counseling. More counselors the better. Um,
- 1:24:45Speaker 1: but talk to somebody like this. It's totally okay. I
- 1:24:49Speaker 1: feel like to go up to your partner and say
- 1:24:50Speaker 1: I am struggling with this. I am frustrated with it either.
- 1:24:55Speaker 1: And if they're not willing to look at you and say, hey,
- 1:24:57Speaker 1: I either want to live with you through this, walk
- 1:24:59Speaker 1: with you through this, love you through this whatever. If
- 1:25:02Speaker 1: they're willing to say no, sorry, like you can't be
- 1:25:04Speaker 1: struggling with anything like that's not a part you need, partner,
- 1:25:07Speaker 1: any of us need anyway. So just talk it through
- 1:25:09Speaker 1: with your partners. Communicate. It's important, just like we communicated
- 1:25:12Speaker 1: to day. We talked about a lot of things. It
- 1:25:15Speaker 1: was very good. Thank you guys for coming into this podcast.

- 1:25:38Speaker 1: and you with them and you're sleep member bed. What's
- 1:25:40Speaker 1: awesome about sleep number is that you can actually set

- 1:25:46Speaker 1: con venus, you know, like, if one likes it hard,
- 1:25:49Speaker 1: that's a sheet, that's what she said, and the other
