  Speaker 1: This is the Benn and Ashley I almost famous podcast
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: with her radio. Wow, Ashley and I are back together.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: This is this feels right, It feels good. I'm pumped
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: to be across the country from you. But it's been
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: a long time since we sat on this podcast together.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: I feel like I could really make this work. This
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: recording at home, you guys, let us know we sound
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: pretty good, right well, it's if we you know, we
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: have moments, especially when I was on the road, where
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: you know, we have technical difficulties. But if we can
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: do this from a distance, I'll be honest. Actually, I
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: don't want to do it because I've missing you guys
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: so much. Ben, You're so sweet. Happy freaking birthday you guys.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Ben is recording this on his birthday. I would say, like,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, recording on your birthday. But the thing is,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: it's probably it's probably pretty cool that he has plans
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: for his birthday. You know what it is, it's a
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: big deal. I mean, people, I'm getting out of memes
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: right now, uh saying oh the March and April birthdays,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: you're gonna feel forgotten. And quite honestly, I feel pretty
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: pumped about it because there's one thing that's been taken
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: out of the possibilities because of my birthday being during
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: the quarantine is that nobody has a surprise birthday planned
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: for me. And that is a fantastic thing because I
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I it stresses me out with the idea that I
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: could rock into a room and everybody cheers. Does that
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: really stress you out? Like why you're such a because
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: the people person. I think it's the idea that like
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I think any time I have to be on or
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: like feel like I have to, you're prepared for it.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: That's because like that's our introvert extrovert thing where we
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: appear to be extroverts, but like in our head we
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: kind of need to prepare for going into a heavy
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: social situation exactly. And so if I'm prepared for I'm good.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: If I am not, then it would stress me out.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: And so now tonight, h Jessica is here with my
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: family in Indiana. We're gonna have Marguerite of pizza, kale, salad,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: and wine, which is my favorite meal, and then we're
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: gonna have I think strawberry rubar pie of a feeling
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: that's on the docket, and then we're gonna end the night. Uh,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: with a Christopher Robin movie. We're gonna watch Christopher rob
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: in the movie to celebrate my childhood and how much
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I love Pooh. Yeah, we we talked about Christoper Robert
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: before we got in the air. But but Ben loves Pooh.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: And you've never seen that movie where apparently Ewan McGregor
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: goes and lives his life without Pooh as an adult,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: without wanting the Pooh the bear. Just just to be
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: clear that you and mcgreggor, you're still able to pooh.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: He just doesn't have a bear. Um, good one, right, Uh,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: we've watched so many good movies, you know, so far,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I think, Ashley. To help out our listeners, let's give
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: our top three things we've watched, uh since the quarantine
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: has started. For me, it's black Pants there, it's little
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: fires everywhere, and I finished the final season is Shameless.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: So those are the three things that I've watched during
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: this that I've really enjoyed. Yeah, you know, Okay, Well,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: our big, big argument in this house is that Jared's
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: not a show watcher. Jared has only watched one show
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: in his entire life, and it well, I mean as
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: far as like um what they called episodic, so like
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: you have to like watch one, two, three, four five,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: you know, a real building storyline. Because of course he
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: watched The Practical Jokers. He'll watch, Um, he's watching f
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Is for Family, the cartoon. Um, but he won't watch
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: like a long story. He gets bored, he says, checks
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: out by episode three, which makes him a really sucky
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Quarantine partner. Um, so we haven't watched any shows he did.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Um introduce the Zodiac, the movie Zodiac that came out
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: in two thousand seven to my parents, into and I
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: last night. So that was a really good movie that
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I honestly had never even heard of when it was
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: out in theaters. And um, Robert Johnny Jr. Mark Ruffalo,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: it's good. So you guys, you can add Zodiac to
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: your list. My mom suggested that I watch Legends of
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: the Fall, which is a Brad Pitt movie. And you, girls,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: if this movie is a love letter to Brad Pitt's face,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: there's this movie sucks, okay, but the cinematography around Brad
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Pitt's appearance, that's what's all about. Like you can tell
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: the director was like, I'm gonna tell you like a
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: really script and just make a visual masterpiece of Brad
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Pitt's face. Alkay. Moving on the other one we watched,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: which is like a little bit more universal, is The
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Rainmaker with Matt Damon nineteen And afterwards Jared was like,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I want to be a lawyer, and I was like, baby,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: go law school. Let's go to law school. Yeah, you know,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: here's a cool part. And listeners, we gotta hear from you.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: We're let's say, just like week two of the quarantine
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: for all of us, give or take a few days
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: either way. Uh, it's you know, it doesn't feel like
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: it's ending anytime very soon, and so we need some
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: suggestions on how to stay entertained during the quarantine. Uh
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: So write us at been An Ashley at Iheartmatia dot com,
• 5:27

• 5:37
  Speaker 1: things that you're doing during the quarantine to entertain yourselves?
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: You know, Ashley, quite honestly, Um, I know there's been
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: a lot of opinions turn around on what this quarantine
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: has meant for everybody, and I think for most people, uh,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: you know, it's been a good time to kind of
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: go back and spend with family. M Um, I think, hey,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: are you so happy to be with your parents? And
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: just because I'm really glad we chose to do it
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: with our parents, I am, I am I. I've been
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: so lucky to be able to be quarantined the way
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: we are. You know, we my parents live in a
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: small town Indiana. There's a woods right by their house
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: that we can get out and move in. Um, just
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: because here we've been, you know, watching movies at night
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: and exercising during the day outside and then coming back
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: into the evening and having good dinners. The truth is,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: and you know, this is my birthday, so I get
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: one second to be preachy here. Um. On the half
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: of Almost Famous podcast and Ashley and I, the truth is,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of people out there really hurting. Um.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I said it last week on the podcast. But you know,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I'm involved in three restaurants to coffee shops, and I
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: was on tour when this was announced and the tour
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: shut down and all of the crew had to go
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: back to New York pretty much in l a, so
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: very expensive cities without any jobs. Uh. The restaurants that
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I'm a part of we had to close down most
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: of them and consolidate down to one building to do
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: take out and delivery in Denver, which lets a lot
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: of people unable to work. Uh. So now we're feeding
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: about three people a day who have worked at our restaurants.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Um it is, but it's you know, it's not sustainable forever.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: And then our coffee shops, one of our coffee shops
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: is no longer uh operative at all. Um all of
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: our hourly employees are now uh not working. And so
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: I say all of this to just say one thing
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: on my birthday because I feel like I get the
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: right to do it. Is do something to help people
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: that are hurting right now. Uh. You know, it doesn't
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: have to be in close contact. If it's financial eight,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: if it's a nice text, a phone call, if it's
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: going and picking up groceries, if it's uh shoveling somebody
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: snow that's gone in their driveway, whatever it is. Uh,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: during this time of quarantine, as great as maybe it's
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: been for you and your family, there's somebody out there
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: that's really really hurting. Uh. And this is really really scary.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: And so on behalf of Ashley Night and the Almost
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: his podcast listeners, look around you do something. This is
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: our time to stand up and show some love. And
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: it's I mean, I can think of no better opportunity
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: than now, uh to stand up and be a light
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: in a really dark situation. Or hey, here's the other side.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: If you're hurting and you're lacking something and you feel
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: like an outsider and alone and financially you're you're hurting,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: except the gifts of the people coming towards you, UM,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: ask for help. There are people that that should be
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: out there, uh searching, and you should be the ones
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: asking because we're all in this together, no shame and
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: asking for help. So hey, we were wishing, we're wishing
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: you the best, okay, ben Um tell them about your
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: T shirts and your sweatshirts. Jared and I just bought
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: two sweatshirts. That's a well, you know, I've had an
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: incredible so over the last two months, I've been working
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: with a team to launch a new apparel company called
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: My Fan Threads. And the whole idea of that is
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: that we can get some friends together to make T
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: shirts and sell them and it's going to be a
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: great little side uh hustle for a lot of people.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: But as we're getting read launched this, we decided that
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: obviously now is at the time of watching the company,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: and so instead we we kind of shifted gears and
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: we created a T shirt called Hope Still Wins. And
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: so we've been starting We sold these T shirts starting
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: two days ago. I've asked my friends like Ashley and Jared,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: a lot of people from Bachelor Nation to kind of
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: help support and design and promote UH, and so everybody has,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: which has been the most incredible thing for me is
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: to see how supportive my friends are UM, because it's
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: like the cool and mean it really is the coolest
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: thing ever is when you ask for help and people respond.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: And so like actually said they went out and but
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: a shirt. All the profits from this shirt, these sweatshirts
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: are going to go to organizations and two people that
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: have been directly hurt by the virus and by the
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: quarantine and by the shutdowns. So far did day, We've
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: sold over ten thousand dollars with the T shirts, which
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: will equate to well over five thousand dollars in donations. Uma,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: can you repeat that? Yeah, So we're ten thousand dollars.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: We sold ten thousand dollars with a T shirts, which
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: we quate over five thousand dollars in donations because obviously
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: the T shirts cost something, so that's our profit and
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: that's two days. But I was gonna say, holy, holy
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: freaking holy, that's amazing. Yes, it's so cool, my god.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: That is just like, that's just the power of social media.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: It is. It's just the power of social media and
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: people caring. And so like what we thought is, hey,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: let's try to create a really cool design that people
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: will want and then we'll sell them. Uh, And people
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: have caught on and then they've been sharing the hashtag
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: hope Still Wins, and these stories are being created everywhere,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: which is for me. Um, it's just really cool to see,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: you know, our almost famous family, the Bachelor Nation family,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: my family, my friends, uh go out of their way
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: to promote something that's going to give back. And so yeah,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: if you're interested, go to my fan threads uh dot
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: com and purchase hopestill One's T shirt and uh, we
• 11:03

• 13:21
  Speaker 1: We have some other other celebrity guests are gonna be
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: joining us. But yeah, it's kind of turned into six
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: every night, specific time, cocktail hour, grab a grab a
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: glass and uh, thank forget about your worries for a minute.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: How's your relationship going during this quarantine? I feel like
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: everybody hasn't has kind of like had a relaxing time
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: this first week, but everybody keeps predicting that it's going
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: to get worse and worse every week and we're gonna
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: go stir crazy. How are you and Lauren doing? Just
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: enjoying the wine right now? Very good? Um, but yeah,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: you know, as I think I made the analogy to Colton.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: This really is the Bachelor for the rest of the world.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: This is what it's like. And you guys can speak
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: to this. Where you are really and intensely into these relationships.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: You cannot get away from each other. You're on top
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: of each other. This is this is magnifying all the
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: good and all the bad of all relationships everywhere. We're
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: gonna have I think a lot of babies, but maybe
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: also a lot of breakups after this whole thing that's done.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: It's fantastic. Hey, Chris, uh real quick? Uh. You by
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: many are viewed as the relationship expert, not just a
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: relationship expert, but the relationship expert in all seriousness. As
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: couples that are married, dating, uh, just starting to hang out,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: are hanging out and being together so much so often
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: right now, do you have any advice for how they
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: just keep it healthy and happy and at some level
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: not annoying. I think you've got to be like you know,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: we're I think we all got used to be being
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: able to get away. Uh. And I've talked to friends
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: of mine. Obviously we have kids. Now you know there
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: is no getting away. There is no going away to
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: the office, kids, going to school. Um, as much as
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: we love our kids, it's a nice break when they
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: go to school, and it's a nice break for our
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: kids too, like your kids mentally need that, And so
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: I think it's still important to try and find ways
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: to separate a little bit, find your own space, um,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: you know, go up into your room or go whatever,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: and then come back and have that family time. And
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: obviously you're not going to miss each other like you
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: would for eight hours when you're off to work or
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: off to school, but at least you still got to
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: find that personal time and your own personal space mentally
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: and emotionally to kind of deal with some of this stuff, um,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: and then be creative, you know, try and still have
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: date nights, try and have game nights, Try and make
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: things interesting and different where you're not just methodically plowing
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: through this. That's really good advice. UM, Chris, you said
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: this week, I think I don't want to your chats
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: that you think that Claire Carawley's bachelorette men are most
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: likely to be partially recast after coronavirus. Do you why?
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Why do you think? Why do you think that this
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: is happening. I'm glad you brought that up because uh,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: someone took a bizarre quote and then started making crazy
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: headlines like Chris Harrison confirms Claire's season is being recast,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, wow, that's not at all what I said. Um,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: shockingly they got that wrong. But no, all I think was, um,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: you know, the chances that all of these men, you know,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: many guys were using. The chances that all of these
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: guys are going to be able to take off a
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: b single, be probably be healthy. See the opportunity with
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: their jobs now to take another six to eight ten
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: weeks off that are probably you know, the chances that
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: are probably zero. I mean, it's just the scentages are
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: some of these guys aren't going to be available to
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: do this, and we're gonna have to probably readjust and
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: recast some of these guys. And that's just the you know,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: that's just me using my common sense. That's not anything
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: that's groundbreaking or shattering news. It's just that's the world
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: we're going to live in. I mean, what is this
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: world going to look like when we get back to
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: production and a lot of us, you know, my job
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: is to get back to the batchelor. But for some
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: of these other guys, they've got to get back to
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: making the money and creating a career. So you know,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: we'll see the uh and Chris and I know this
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: is probably throwing something out there. I just I think
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: it's always good to give updates. Has there been any
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: talking about a return time for anything or is it
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: just feel like everything is just completely on hold and
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: there's zero chance or zero even conversations about when when
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: things will start picking back up. Yeah. I mean, you know,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: we're watching the news, conferences and everything as much as anybody,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: and and we're not you know, we can't even leave
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: our homes much less think about production, and so we
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: are far from you trying to get you know, a
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: hundred to two people in a room to shoot a show.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: As you guys know, it's not just the you know,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: one woman Claire in twenty guys. I mean, there's massive
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: amounts of production and so that's hundreds of people that
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: would have to be intimately close together. And for that
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: to happen, things are going to have to get, you know,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: a lot better before we could pull pull off something
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: like that we are talking about. I don't know if
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: you guys have seen Mike Flye has been tweeting, Um,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: just listen to your heart is over. We are talking
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: about doing something for vatchelor Nation along the lines of, uh,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe vatchlor Nation picks uh their favorite episode.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: We kind of break it down. We could shoot this
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: either live or with the Skeleton crew and we tape it.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: But some sort of Bachelor Nation type show, all star
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: reunion show. Um, I think a lot of us are
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: concerned that Claire just get the shaft and like, you
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: guys just gonna skip over the Bachelorette season. Is that
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: is that possible? No, no weight, Um, the Bachelorette's our baby.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: You know that's I mean, honestly, the Bachelor and the
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Bachelorette are our baby that we consider those you know,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: that's the tent pole of this franchise. That's what it
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: was built on. And um, and for so many reasons,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: you know, we don't want to skip over it. Um,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: but we can't. I mean, it's it's important to us,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: and so no, it's it's not gonna be one of
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: those things where we just top back in and um.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: And again, i mean I'm talking as if I know
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: how any of this is going to turn out with
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: this virus. But you know, if things go the way
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: it's gone around the world, this is a tidal wave
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: that will eventually blow through and this too shall pass
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: and yeah, we'll get we will get back to it.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: And um, you know, first and foremost on top of
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: the priority list is Claire and the Bachelorette. Well, I, uh, well,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: a little bit about my life right now, Chris, because
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about me. My golf swing has
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: never looked better than it has in the backyard of
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: my house without a golf ball and a drive in
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: my hand. I hope you're doing the same thing. Um,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: there's been a lot of swings in the office. Uh yeah,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: the problem is uh and and you're about to lose
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: half your viewers right now. But what happen is you're
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: gonna you're gonna start making some swings. You're gonna get
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: a swing side. Go man, this is late, and you're
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: gonna practice it. You're gonna take it out on the course.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: It's going to be a disaster and within five minutes
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: you will have forgotten all of that. But right now,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: in my mind it feels good. Also, uh, a little
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: bit about you then, Uh, you're up to a lot
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: right now, not only right before this whole thing hit.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: You just uh launched a great partnership with Seagram's. Uh
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: you're obviously uh wants this kind of picks back up again.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: You're gonna be heavy into I don't know, the thousands
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: shows that you all are producing and putting on. And
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: then also I noticed on social media that you've been
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: partnering during this virus with a few charitable organizations to
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: try to get back to those who are hurting. Do
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: you mind just speaking to those real quick before we
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: say good bout to you? Yeah? First, I mean first
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: and foremost. Yeah, part of this thing that uh, Lauren
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: and I have been doing because we're all stuck at home,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: and and one was just seeing you know, as they're
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: calling him, the Corona idiots, Um, the people that are
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: still you know, going on spring break and hitting the
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: beaches and and I'm not talking about those of you
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: going on walks and you know, going for a jog
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: and you know, keeping your your distance from people, but
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: those that were like you know, going and playing basketball,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: and so I just really horrible ideas. So we thought,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: let's create this you know, live thing to keep everybody home. Um.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: But then what what good could we do? So we
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: decided to. You know, I think you guys are probably
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: on cameo as well, just like we are, where you
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: can buy a video from us. I also have a
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: website plus Harrison Official dot com where you can order
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: videos and all of those proceeds that Lauren and I
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: are getting, um, you know, last week and for the
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: foreseeable future, we're going to donate. And we did a
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: couple of local charities Manor House, UM food Share out
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: of the Canejo Valley or in Ventura County. Direct Relief
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: is another one that I love. And Direct Relief is
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: license to do business and and give air, give aid
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: in all fifty states. UM, so great charities and we've
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: raised thousands of dollars already, so we're going to continue
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: to do it. And it's been awesome. And as for
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: my secrets, Escape Steal with Tropical Rose sets the drink
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: and I know you guys have tasted it good. I'm
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: not just saying this because you're on the line. Holy moly, Chris,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: it's so good. And we launched it and it's been
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: great and the reception has been awesome, and we're in
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Walmarts and Total Wines and Smart and Finals and a
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: bunch of other stores around the country, and um, some
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: of it's been delayed because of the virus. But you know,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: when it gets to spring and summer and we're all
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: out of our houses, will probably kind of relaunch it
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: again and do it all over again. But it's been
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: it's been really good. It's been taken really well, and
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: everybody who's tasted it kind of like Ashley, really loves it.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: That's awesome. Well, hey, Chris, do me a favorite as
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: a friend, take a bit during this time to rest, relax, recoup.

  Speaker 1: Thanks for looking out for everybody else in the process
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: with you and Lauren, you know, donating a time and
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: your efforts to to those who are hurting. But also
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: thanks for coming on the podcast. I look forward to
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: uh speaking you guys. I think this evening. So hey,

• 23:15
  Speaker 1: birthday wishes by Chris. Thank you so much. Well, I
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: truly love you've been. You're an amazing man and all
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: the things that you guys the listeners think and hear
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: about him, it is tenfold that and Ashley can back
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: me up on that. But always a pleasure to celebrate
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: you and I look forward to when we can actually
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: give each other a big hug. Yeah, that's right, buddy. Hey,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: we'll talk thanks man, Okay, yes, Ben. Before we get
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: a special guest on, I do want to talk about
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: a couple more Bachelor hot topics. Of course, we lightly
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: brush on the fact that Colton Underwood has as a
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: positive for Corona. Came out about it a couple of
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: days ago. A lot of people UM asked me about
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: like the fact that I was with him. It'll be
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: I was with him two weeks calm ones day and
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Jared and I have shown no symptoms. UM, fourteen days
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: is about the max amount of time that you'd end
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: up showing symptoms from being exposed to it. So I'd
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: say we're okay on catching it from Colton, you know.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: I I just want to comment on that too, because
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: that was an interesting scenario because Colton announced it on Instagram,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: and at that time, I was in the process of
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: kind of advocating for uh, somebody that I know, an
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: employee of mine, who I think had the virus, and
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: we're trying to get attested because there was a lot
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: of unknowns about the virus and if you could treat
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: it or not at the time, and so I was
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: frustrated because I was unable to find her and get
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: her a test, and she was unable to find herself
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: a test. So I comment on on Colton's Instagram. I said, hey,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: how did you get a test? Do you have do
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: you have any advice? And it kind of blew up,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: I'd say in my face, and his people got really
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: rude towards him. Him, Uh, saying, hey, you know, just
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: because you're famous, I don't think that's not at all
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: what I meant. I don't think that's an all true
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: for him. Uh, if you're sick and you have symptoms, Uh,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: nobody's saying don't get a test. It's if you're if
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: you don't have symptoms, please don't get a test. That's
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: kind of thing. Yeah, a lot of people are bringing
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: that up to us. They're like, well, you and Jeremy
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: to get tested. My dad's a doctor. I asked him. Immediately.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: He was like, no, no, that's don't You're not doing that.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: So I just want to make it clear, Uh, we
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: we wish the best report, and I personally wished the
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: best report. And I was really intrigued and interested and
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: also frustrated with this system at that point because I
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: had somebody had a fever for four straight days that
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: I care about and I was then able to find
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: her any help. So how's she doing now? Uh, first
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: day to this today where she had a temperature below
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: a hundred and five days? Okay, so who knows what
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: she has? Still no test available, but she's getting better.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: So sorry. Actually, on the the next topic, Okay, So,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Kelly Flannagan says Nick Vile didn't disappoint amongst dating rumors.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: This is from Cosmopolitan. The two of them met at
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Chris Harrison's Seagram's launch, and of course Nick didn't lose
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: the opportunity to post a picture of him and Kelly together, saying, well,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: she's not dating Peter and it looks like now Kelly
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: is saying two words during Okay, So basically she got
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: on Instagram Live and somebody asked her about Nick, and
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: then she said two words didn't disappoint. Oh boy, playing
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: it up. We all know they're playing it up. I mean,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: it's just here, here's the one thing. During this time
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: I know they probably aren't seeing each other. Um, you know,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Nick is Nick and he you know he's a single
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: and she's single, and they if they're dating, great, but
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: this is definitely being played up. And why not. They're
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: keeping us talking about it, and look at us now
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: we're talking about it. Yeah. And I think she got
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: those two words because Nick said on his podcast she's
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: a nice person. She didn't disappoint in person. I thought
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: she'd be cool in person. Everyone likes to think that
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: there's always something going on, and there's not. You know,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: who knows. I mean, I'm sure they exchanged numbers. I
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: can say that. Yeah, good, I mean, hey, why not.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: We always love a good bachelor romance, and we love
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: that for Nick. He's a good friend. I've never met Kelly,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: but he likes a lawyer type. Yeah. The day the
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: day Nick calls us and says he's got a girlfriend
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: that he's like serious with is the day I absolutely
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: celebrate my pants off the same. Oh my god, that'll
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: be amazing. All right, next topic, Peter Weber is moving
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: out of his parents house and Barbed seems okay with it.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: I have to interject here and say Ben and I
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: texted about that weird talk that Peter put up with
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: him dancing like the salt Cell of his mom. I'm like, holy,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: this family. Here's the thing. I don't get this headline. Actually,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: what is it gonna be? Peter Webbers moving out of
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: his parents house and his mom's not okay with it? Like,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: of course she's gonna be okay with it. The dude
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: thirty years old almost like, hey, great that they support
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: him this long, But she's gotta be okay with him
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: moving out. If not, we have a whole new conversation
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: to have that's even otter than anything else, Like, yes,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: he's moving out. We're excited for Peter. It's gonna be
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: great for Peter. I love my family so much. Um,
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: you love your family so much. But there's been nothing
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: healthier for me in my life than moving away from
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: them to build my own life, to understand myself a
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: little bit more. Am not have them weighing in on
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: every small decision that I'm making because I'm able to
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: learn and fall and fail and get back up again
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: and do it myself and take it myself. Jared and
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: I went on a walk yesterday and he was like,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: I miss our l a place. I was like, wow, babe, Like,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: that's the first time you've ever said that. He missed
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: anything about l A and he's like, well, I love
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: being here. I'm glad that we're with our family during
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: all this, for sure, but it does make me appreciate
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: the little decisions that we make on a day to
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: day basis, even if it's just like what we're going
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: to have for dinner that we discussed just the two
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: of us, and it doesn't have to be like a
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: big thing. And like when your mom buys groceries, like
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: she's you know, she's the one in charge, like she's
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: really like the parent here, and I have to tell
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: her what I want. It's like I just kind of
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: want to buy groceries on my own. It's like the
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: little things. Well, Sinela Taco, who is a dancer on
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: The Bachelor Live on Stage, one of my good friends
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: now and I love her dearly. I feel like she's
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: my sister. After the Life tour, she texts me on
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: the day and I said, hey, how are you holding up?
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: She's like, I'm holding up like a teenager all over again.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: And my parents basement, eating their food there, snacks, ling
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: on their couch watching TV with them at night. It's
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: it's teenage life all over. It really is like last night,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: I was like, Mom, are my fish sticks ready? Like,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: I'm not even kidding you. Fish sticks fan fantastic. But
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: to get back to the headline, basically, Peter says yes,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: and then Barb says, yeah, we're gonna be empty nesters.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that means that the brother is
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: also going to move out, but Peter says that he's
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: either going to hit up n y C Or l
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: A in the next uh for about a year. Oh yeah,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: he's gonna be there here, he says, Oh, well, don't
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: we think that he'll be in l A. Yeah, I
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: would imagine. I imagine Peter goes to l A, which
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: makes sense. It's close to his hometown thirty minutes away.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Really moving, I mean I'm not saying that. Of course,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: it's moving out of your parents house. Heck yeah, it's
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: moving out of your parents house. It's l A is
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: a big city. I know this from my experience out there. Oh,
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: l A still overwhelms me. So like for me to
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: travel from one side of the city to another is
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: like a completely different world. So I say, anybody that
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: even moved from like Santa Monica to Burbank, if you
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: grew up in Santa Monica. You moved to Burbank like
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: that is a move to get your wings. I really
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: think so okay, because I think of him living in
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: l A. The fact that he lives in Westlake Village
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: makes you feel like he does live in l A.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: But I guess that's because I'm not a native. Yeah,
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: that's just my thought. Good for Peter m this is
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: the right move and let's uh we'll fall along with
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: his journey. I have a feeling Peter will not be
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: moving back home anytime soon. We should also make a
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: note that the Weber family says that they have been
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: closer than ever in quarantine. And lastly, how could we
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: have a Bachelor Hot Topics segment without talking about Hannah
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Brown and Tyler Cameron all their TikTok videos, all the Instagrams?
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Then are they still together in Florida right now? Do
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: we know? I mean, as of yesterday, it sure seemed
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: like it. And just so I know a little context here,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: they've yet to uh communicate that they're dating or hooking
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: up or like hanging out at all? Right, this is
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: like a friendly hangout, supposedly supposedly a friendly hang out,
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: but there's like no addressing the topic of whether they're
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: dating or not are hooking up? I mean, are you
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: are we being serious? We think that they're quarantined together
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: with six people in a household and they're not hooking up.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: I would be shocked. I mean, if they're friends, they're friends.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know the context. I don't think they've even
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: like when then they've been asked a question of hey,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: are they dating or not? I don't think they said
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: they're not. So like if I was if I had
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: an X come back and stay with me in my
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: house for a week, and the idea when somebody asking me,
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: you guys dating, and I would just say, we're not
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: not dating. That hence to hey, they're hanging out, they're
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: trying to get to know each other. Here's the part
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: to me that's crazy. They've been very about this, very quickly,
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: and I am shocked at how public they've been and
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: how okay they are with being this public. For me,
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: most of the time when we see two people start
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: dating and hanging out, they try to keep it a
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: little private. But I mean, this is going up on Instagram.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: I mean I feel like the world's following along. They've
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: been doing skits together, they've been working out together. If
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: they aren't dating, well they've thrown us off for a loop. Well,
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Jared brought the topic yesterday when people were asking this,
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: asking us about this on our Instagram Live. They were like,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: are they dating? And then Jared is like, you can
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: be hooking up without dating, But like, I'm like, how
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: old are you? What do you think? I was like,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: I mean their dating. If you're quarantined together and you're
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: hooking up, you're dating. Yeah. I don't know, Like the
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know the fine line between either. I've always
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: been confused with the dating things. Like I remember last
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: year at this time, you taught me what shipping means.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Like I'm always away behind times when it comes to
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: who what's dating mean? What's hanging out mean? What's I
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: just don't get that stuff. All I know is this,
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: if you're publicly, like, if you're publicizing the fact that
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: you're hanging out with somebody that you're into romantically at
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: any level, in my mind, my associate that with daty
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: right now, does that mean you have to be exclusive? No,
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: there's there's that whole right now they're exclusive for right now.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: I have a feeling that they're having a blast um.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: You know again, a few weeks ago we talked about
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: this and then all this comes in wake of Tyler, Cameron,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: and his brother and the family losing their mom. It is,
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: there's two sides of this. One it's really great to
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: see them being able to laugh and celebrate and be
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: joy filled. The second is this does feel like at
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: least a drastic switch mentally, uh, you know, for him
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: now to be pursuing Hannah. But here's the cool part
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: that I read as I was trying to look into
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: this is how quick you know why she came back
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: into his life, actually came back in during the process
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: of losing his mom to support Tyler. Um, which would
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: make sense on why you know she's around for this
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: quarantine because I have a feeling that got a lot
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: closer during that and so maybe this is a really
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: good partnership of mutual support, uh, and that through this
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: time Hannah has been a rock to bring joy to
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Tyler's life. And if that's the case, is that not
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: what you want in a romantic relationship. So Hey, from
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: the almost famous podcast Ash and I just want to say,
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: Tyler and Hannah keep us updated. Uh not too much
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: because my Instagram feed is just like when I look
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: at the search page now, which is videos of the
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: two of you. Congratulations on at least finding somebody hang
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: out with. Oh, and just to go back to what
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Chris Harrison said earlier, I mean, if they have any
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: doubt on whether or not, like this is gonna be
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: a long haul thing, this is going to be a fling,
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: well they will. They will know at the end of
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: this quarantine, you will know. Uh, and the worst comes
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: the worst. They had a really good time. I mean,
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: we can already any other hot topics. Actually nope, that's it,
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: but right now we have to take a break before
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: getting your other birthday guests on the line and we're back.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Is our birthday guess on the line? Hello? Oh, Hi,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: who is this? I'm watching Ben's expression as you just
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: like are popping in on another room. Hi, honey, he's
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: literally go oh, I can see her. She's in the
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: other room. Literally, how's my girl doing good? How's the
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: social distancing for the past thirty minutes? I know we've
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: been together for most of the week. Now the part
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: through windows to the here's a cool part. Actually, I
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: have a little advice for anybody listening um on how
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: you can keep a romantic relationship thriving. One is Jessica
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: and I both spent at least an hour and a
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: half of our day exercising separately. And so we've we've
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: done our own thing. We've taken walks outside, we've done
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: our own like ad exercises inside separately, and then we
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: come back together afterwards to just do a puzzle or
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: to hang out or whatever the rest after it looks
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: like but I'm not kidding. We have spent uh the
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: last week with with my parents and just in the
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: same house and our cat Diamond, and it has been
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: really special, don't you think, hun, Yeah, it's been really
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: fun and super relaxing. Actually, we I feel like our
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: relationship is so different because we never get nice where
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: we just get to watch the movie and now we've
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: had seven in a row. Yeah, and you guys have
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: never lived together, so that's like a little practice in
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: that anything you've learned about each other that you wouldn't
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: have known had you not had this week to live together.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: You know. One of the things I've learned is I've
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: always known that Jessica's family is very important to her
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: and I've also known that my family is very important
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: to her. But what are the cool parts about spending
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: the week together my parents house so far is just
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: how intrigued and curious and interested she is and just
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: getting to spend time with everybody. And so it's been
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: really cool to see her uh love on my family,
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: love on me, support me, help out where she can. Uh.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: And I don't think we would have experienced that unless
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: we had a unique scenario where we're gonna be stuck
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: inside together for seven days. Jess, what do you think? Yeah, Um,
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: I think for me it's been uh kind of being around.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: Been in a really hard week too for him as
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: a leader, and um, I mean he's doing how he
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: handles himself under stress. I've never been with him in
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: something in a situation where it would be like, genuinely
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: it could be. I mean, it is disastrous, and he's
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: just handled himself so gracefully, and he's loved others so well,
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: and he never once complains about his situation. But it's
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: super willing to give to others. And if something I
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: always knew about him, but seeing it in such an
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: intense time, it's been really cool too. That's so awesome. Yeah,
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: that's such an important quality to see in the person
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: that that you, you know, wonder if you're gonna spend
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: forever with. It's good to see them under pressure. It
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: has been, you know, for both of us. And I
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: think that's what we were talking about earlier, Ashley, is
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: everybody's hurting in their own ways right now, and some
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: worse than others, and some have different difficulties and we
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: can't compare each other's own pains, but this is, this
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: is really bringing to the surface that all of us
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: need each other. And it's been really awesome to have uh,
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: my sweet sweet girlfriend there beside me as we do
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: manage through these situations. So hey, seven days with Jess
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: in the house and I am more in love than
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: ever like you goods, you're so key. Yeah, alright, we'll
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: do a check up on Ben and just in a month. Alright,
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: that'll be that'll be an interesting dichotomy maybe. Alright, well, Jess,
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: thanks for joining us. We have our final surprise birthday
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: guest for Ben on the line. Special Guests. I'm gonna
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: have you just say the word hi, Ben, the words
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: high Ben, and I want to see if he can
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: tell who it is just based on the words hey Ben,
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: oh boy, that's a tough one. I don't know if
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: I can get it. I think this. I think I'm
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: gonna have to have a little more okay, so say
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: hi Ben and Ashley, I hey Ben and Ashley, I
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: oh man. And Sean Booth is a man that as
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: soon as he says Ashley, I really it just it
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: stings deep. I love it. A little upset you didn't
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: get it on the first one, but I'll let it plot.
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: Oh man, I will hey that that just that. The
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: voice that you have, Sean, at one point in your life,
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: literally melted a nation. Um. I wish I could say
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: the same thing about myself. How are you doing, buddy,
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: I'm doing good. I was actually just on Instagram. I
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: saw yourself. You're still looking good at thirty one. You
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: still got a full out of the hair and you
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: got that gorgeous smile. So you're doing all right. Well,
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: here's the funny part. Um. Back when I first met you,
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: I think I was like twenty five or twenty four,
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: and I had already started to like have a receding hairline.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: And at that point in time, if you have told
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: me a thirty one you would have had a full
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: head of hair. I'd have said, there's no way, like
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: this is going down fast for me and so I
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: have to find a wife quick. Well here's the great news.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: At one, my hairline has only gotten that. I am
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: thriving right now. The rule right like, if you make
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: it past thirty with your hair, you have it for
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: the rest of your life. Is like an unwritten rule. Yes,
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: in my eyes, it is. It is. You know, there's
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: days Sean, Uh still to this day. I guess. Um.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: I just was on Instagram the other day and I
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: saw a picture of you in the shower and uh,
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: you had your hair. I'll sleep back and uh and uh,
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: you know I still get hair and v from you.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: I still get in. I've envied you, uh in a
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: lot of ways for a while, especially when it comes
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: to your ability to cuddle with the cutest golden retriever
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: there is on the face of the earth. How is
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: being quarantined uh with your your favorite dog right now?
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: Oh man, that's all I was saying yesterday. It's like
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: the best thing. It's like a huge win for all
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: the dogs around the world. Um. Yeah, I'm spending as
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: much time as I can with him now. It's not
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: really different than any other day, but it just seems
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: a little extra special now. So he's enjoying the quarantine.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to I hope you guys are as well.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: You guys staying healthy out there? What. Yeah, we're doing
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: pretty good, enjoying TV, couple and family time. The the
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: interesting thing is for all you listeners out there, Uh,
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: we just talked to my girlfriend Jessica, and she is
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: a committed member of uh UM Sean's gym in uh Nashville,
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: and so Jessica has been leading myself and my family
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: through workouts during the day just to keep us healthy
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: and happy. Sean, what's the status of boot camp right
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: now with the shutdown? And how are you, I mean,
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: how is how are you doing personally knowing that this
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: gym that you've put a lot of work and effort
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: into is now just kind of quiet. Yeah, Well, first off,
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: we do miss jess she's definitely uh committed in memory
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: ABC and I also might add I'm pretty sure she
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: is the fastest person at the gym, so I want
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: to try and take her on in a fifty yard dash.
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: And then secondly, and is shut down unfortunately, but we
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: are still keeping everything going with online classes, so we've
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: been filming that the last couple of days and just
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: trying to give our members as much as we can.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: But you know, at the end of the day, there's
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: a lot more important things here. So it's fine. We're
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: gonna find a way to make it work. And obviously
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: we just hope that every day is healthy and then
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: it'll all get back to normal sooner rather than later, hopefully. Sean,
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: are you quarantined with anyone other than the Pucci Nope,
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: that's it me and tuch Ah. Well, I kind of
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: am curious. How is it being quarantined solo? Well, um,
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: I mean it's like being every other day basically. Obviously,
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: I put a lot of time in my work and
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: then um, you know, I still have been coming to
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: the gym here with our trainers to finish these classes.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: I know we can't be spending too much time with
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: each other, but um yeah, I mean that's all I
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: really need right now up, So it's no different and uh,
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: just making the best of it. We've been asking most
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: of our guests, Sean, what they're doing to stay occupied,
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: so outside of work and outside of the cuddle time
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: with Tuck. What are you doing personally to stay engaged, entertained,
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: insane during the quarantine. Yeah, I've been trying to watch
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: a little more Netflix. I haven't been watching too much
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: TV lately, so I started a couple of shows which
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: I've been enjoying, um doing. I think it's also like
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: the best time to get some stuff done around the house.
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: I have bought a house a few months ago, so
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: now that I finally had this time where I'm forced
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: to stay home, just fixing up things, um, doing some
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: online shopping which is gonna get a little dangerous here
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: pretty soon. Um So just doing like the of things
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: that I needed to get done now. I heard a
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: couple of days ago that there's a lot of people
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: still going out to the bars in Nashville. Have you
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: driven around at all seeing that die down? Hopefully? Yeah,
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: So that was like super annoying. Obviously, there was a
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: few nights last week actually most of last week where
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: the bars were still packed. And then that's where we
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: started getting real trick for us, because we're like, because
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: we were still open um and we're starting to see
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: a lot of our members and people going out to
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: all these bars they're posting about it, and then that's
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: where we're like, all right, we can't do this anymore.
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: And now as of late they just had the mandated shutdown,
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: um as of yesterday. So what happened to There was
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: a lot of bars here down in Broadway, and there
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: was one owner that kind of owns a whole bunch
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: of them, and he wasn't shutting down. So everybody's like,
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: well they're not shutting down. I'm still going. So I'm
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: glad that they finally had to force them shutdown. Yeah,
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: I just uh, I mean, the world is always interested
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: in you, and you've built a very successful business there
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: in Nashville that I've gotten to ce and be a
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: part of. Uh. You obviously, uh, and you and I
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: both have to talk about this all the time. You
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: you were out of a public uh breakup in your relationships,
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: your love relationships, I let I guess have been quiet
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: since then, which is understandable. But I'd say your life,
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: if anything, has not been kind of secretive. How has
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: it been now navigating life? Um with this kind of
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: new uh, I guess, uh season of singleness, UH, with
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: your business being the focus, how are you doing personally?
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: Because really last time the almost Famous People heard from
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: you was during our In Depth, which I think was
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: an incredible episode where we got to hear your heart
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: and who you were a lot better. But we need
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: a little update. How are you doing? Yeah, I'm doing great,
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: and it's to get a little flashback for the last
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: time talking. And I would actually thinking about that the
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: other day, like I really feel like that podcast when
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: I talked to you guys like a therapy session that
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: I needed, and like it was great and miserable and
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: sad and all these emotions that I went through, and
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: like ever since then, I was like, all right, cool,
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: it's like I'm I can move on now. And uh
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: so I'm appreciative of you guys, let me on and
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: kind of talk about that. And then since then, man,
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: things have calmed down a lot, which is great. You know,
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: things are really normal for me. I live with normal
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: life here in Nashville. UM. I love obviously being around
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: my Kim and and that has brought in a ton
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: of great friends, um in my life and we have
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: this made the community. So I mean it's it's pretty
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: normal right now, which is good. And I'm just working
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: hard and doing a little bit of traveling. I told
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: myself I wanted to slow down and travel the last
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: few months, um and just kind of focus on other
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: things because, as you guys know, it feels like, you know,
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: once you go on that show and you start doing
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: all these events and you guys are still doing this,
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: you're on the road every week, and it starts to
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: kind of it started to wear me down a little bit.
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: So it's nice to actually set up shop, get a house, um,
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: to get a home for want to feel like a home,
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: and just kind of, you know, taking it day by day.
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: But then it's awesome before you leave. I wanted to
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: tell you guys about this game that we've been playing.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: It's you could do. You could do multiple takes on it,
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: but it's um, which Bachelor's star would you want to
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: be quarantined? Quarantined with? Which Bachelor's star would you want
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: would would be able to pick you up at a
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: bar most easily? So this is how you can do it.
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: You go who would you rather be quarantined with? Ashley
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: or Ben? And then you go Ben, who would you
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: rather be quarantined with? Ben? Or Sean? And then you
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: go and then you decide from there and then like,
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: let's just pretend Ben wins. Again, let's pretend Sean wins. Okay,
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: So who would you rather be quarantined with Sean or Colton? Well,
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: you definitely don't want to be quartu cult right now,
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: bad example, Shan, Sean or Mike Johnson. Okay, And then
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: like you keep going until that person just keeps winding
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: over and over again, and it's like who. Then you
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: think about this is for the girls out there or
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: the gay guys. If you're sitting at a bar and
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: you have Sean and Ben next to you, who's gonna
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: pick you up at the bar easier? And then you
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: you take it from there. Then you added another layer.
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: It's so much fun. Yeah, it's like Mary after Killed
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: back in the day in like middle school. Yeah kind of.
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: I guess I'm just starting to get I've had to
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: like get off social media for the last few days
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: because I mean, I know people are bored, but it's
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: really starting to show on Instagram, and I mean, some
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: of these challenges are fun and then some of them
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: are just getting ridiculous, where it's like, all right, you're
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: gonna squat your dog and you've got to eat fourteen
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: bowls of cereal in two minutes back when people go
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: it's outrageous. I've done some weird stuff in my living
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: room show on. I've done tin push ups. I've done
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: fifteen sit ups, which he knows a lot for me,
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: and it's gotten hard the whole time. Hey, Sean, before
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: we go, I gotta tell you one last story. UM,
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: I think you'll appreciate it. Uh. Yesterday I went on
• 51:12

  Speaker 1: the two mile mark. I had a buddy that I
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: saw while I was running and I yelled at him.
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: I was like, hey, have you seen Jessica And she said, yeah,
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: she's about a half mile ahead of you. Um up
