  Speaker 1: A joy to be back with you this week. Unfortunately
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Ben had to take the week off he's on a trip,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: so I have maybe the greatest co host filling in
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: for him I could possibly ask for. It is Lauren Siema,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: who you know as an entertainment correspondent from Entertainment Tonight.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: She has she hosts in produces the most popular segment
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I think on their YouTube, Roses and Rose and Roses
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: and Rose airs on broadcast TV and YouTube. By the way,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: so Lauren interviews so many celebrities a list, but her specialty,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: her real niche is when it comes to past, present
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: and future contestants on the Bachelor franchise. And we must
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: note that she's also Chris Harrison's girlfriend of two and
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: a half years. Everyone welcome Lauren Zeema, my friend. So
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: glad you're oh Miss Ashley I Canetti icon, beloved Bachelor
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: industry veteran, also media maybe and I just feel like
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: I need to give you some pops back after what
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: was just the best intro I've ever gotten. Thank you
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: so much. I couldn't be happy to be here. I
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: feel like so lucky because I've never been on you
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: and Ben's amazing podcast before, and now I get to
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: come in and guest co host with you. This is
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: a dream and I'm not I recognize that today that
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: you had never been on this podcast, and I was like,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: that's so weird because we've talked to Chris multiple times
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: about you, but you are one of my favorite people
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: to watch recap. You are honest, but never in a
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: mean way. So I love I love how tasteful you're
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: able to make fun of the show. Well, thank you.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: That's what I always think, right, I'm not a hate watcher.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like the core of all
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: the recapping interviewing we all do is like we love
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the show, right, Like, I don't understand there's some people
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: who I feel like just want to totally hang on it,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: and I sort of think, well, then why are you
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: watching the show? Um? Like, the best thing to me
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: is to have fun with it, but not make mean
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: fun of it. So thank you for saying that, that's
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the tone that I tried to strike. I completely agree. Okay,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: So I want to jump into the Bachelorette recap right now.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: We heard from you fans that you guys want to
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: recap above headline, So that's what we're going to do
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: from now on. Let's start with the first scene. It's
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: the cliffhanger resuming. We have Bennett versus Noah. Who were
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: you rooting for during this, Lauren, Oh my gosh. Well,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I had loved Bennett pretty much the whole sport. Yes,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I was a big fan, you know, to be the
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: big Bennett fan. And then I had turned on him
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: this last episode because I felt like he was just
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: getting a little too harsh with Noah. And then it
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: wasn't coming from like a grounded place. I didn't understand
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: what the real issues with Noah were, and I did
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: not think it was coming from a helpful place Bennett.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: So let's take the spa water drink a little more
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: and make sure we're making good choices. Um So, But
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: in this moment, I'll be honest, I just was thinking
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: to send them both home. I don't think was going
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: to happen. Is that what you predicted? What? What? What
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: did you want to happen? Well, I thought that was
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: gonna happen. I thought that would probably be like the
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: smartest decision. However, I do feel like she has a
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: connect with Noah. We've had good moments with Noah, especially
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: in that mustache shaving episode. I haven't really felt any
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: chemistry with her and Bennett. I think Bennett has been
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: great TV, super entertaining for us, has had glimmers of
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: coming out of his shell slash character sture, but has
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: never really gotten there. And you're right, the character got
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: a little old in the past week or so because
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: it was all funny until we realized we're like, wait,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I think he's funny because he's so self aware. Oh wait, ship,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: is he not civilware at all? It's the old school
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: phrase Bennett jumped the shark. I think he went far now.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: All that being said, I still hope and pray to
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: see him, you know, hopefully if things don't work out
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: with Tasha, which I don't predict. There's any obviously coming
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: back from here, but I do hope to see him
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: in Paradise. I I think with Tasia, you can really
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: see that she like I felt like she was cringing
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: a little bit every time Bennett went in for a kiss.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I agree that this is not there. And then with Noah,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: I feel the physical chemistry is more there, but the
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: emotional wasn't. So that's why I thought send them both home.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: But I think the thing about Tassia is and probably
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: why we're seeing these guys seem to fall so hard
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: for her, is that she's just great to be around.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: So it's almost I don't know. I was reminded a
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: bit of both of them, actually with both of them,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: of watching Tasha with j p J. Like I kind
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: of agree, you know, like like you knew that she
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: thought he was funny, and then maybe she thought he
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: was cute, but you didn't sense a long term Noah.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: It reminds me a lot of that. Yeah, yeah, and
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: and like Bennett too, but in a different way. And
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: I do think Tasia is also kind of so nice
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: that she would give someone maybe more chances than they
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: might deserve. Like I'm not saying she doesn't, like she
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: tells people how she feels, but she's she also is like,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I'll give you a second chance, you know, like when
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: she told Noah, and the thing is, once she told
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Noah you're gonna stick around for the Rose ceremony, was
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: sort of thinking, well, she can't send him home. Then
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: I know that was a dead giveaway to us that
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: that he was going to stick around. And then when
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: you kind of looked at the other guys to be
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: sent home, you're like, Okay, I guess if I compare
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: the chemistry between her and Noah and like her and
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: demor Ed, I understand now. Now what I thought was
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: wacky was the fact that Blake stuck around. But we
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: could talk about that later. Oh my god, why did
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I just blank on her? Blake? Blake on Blake. He's
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: the one that has the beard all around his jaw.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, Blake. We're still in this place sometimes
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: where I do feel we're getting to know these guys better,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: but yeah, there are some episodes where we're still like
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: not seeing a lot of like, oh my gosh, I
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: forgot Blake still here. That means Blake shouldn't be here.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: If by this point I was exactly it was bizarre.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: And then we saw spendserly before him too, and we
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: know that they had an early connection, but that didn't
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: really develop. But anyway, let's we'll talk about the Rostromer
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: and a second, I do want to talk about how Tasha,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: you know, pulls Bennet aside. She says, that she feels
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: like she's in a hard place. She asked Bennett if, like,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: if he's questioning her integrity, She's so articulate in these moments.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: I'm like, God, I wish I was you. And then
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: she says that she doesn't that he doesn't have the
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: right to tell anyone who she's going to end up with,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: that she's gonna end up like, you know, because he
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: said there was zero percent chance of Noah ending up
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: with her in the end. So she's like, you don't
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: have the right to say that. But it apologizes, but
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: then she says that there's just like too much drama
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: around him that she feels like he's condescending. You know,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: there's that oh my god cringe alert when he starts
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: talking about the four components of e Q emotional intelligence.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Can we get him and Taylor Nolan together? Um, I
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: don't want anybody to quote Bennett on that. Nothing about
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: that felt emotional intelligent, emotionally intelligent. No I was like,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know where he got this from. If he's
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: trying to quote that book he has, I don't think
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: he's doing it right. Kids, do not turn to this
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: moment on the mature for your accurate information on emotional
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: intelligence and maturity. I also felt like, how did you
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: feel about the criticism of Noah period? Like I think
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: in this episode Noah said something like age doesn't mean maturity,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: and I totally agree. And I'm not sitting here singing
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Noah's praises, But do you think he's as immature as
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Bennett is acting? Like, you know, we're weeks beyond wherever
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: that moment that Bettett started name calling him immature and
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I can't even remember what did it even branch from?
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: That's my thing. I have felt like with this fight,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: I don't even know what it's about. And I kind
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: of felt that way also with like the Chase and
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: an ed fight. Of course, I don't know if we're
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: missing some plot points, but I didn't understand Lauren. I
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: really think that they had no drama, Like I think
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: these guys got along really well. I think that Tasia
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: wasn't creating any drama bout making like questionable decisions like
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: we saw with Peter last season, And I just think
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: that there wasn't and they were just kind of like
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: pulling at straws in any little tension they really exploited.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I don't disagree with that. I mean, look, I think
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: that I think what we are missing is like the
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: playful drama. We're getting a lot of really real reveals
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: and there were even more in this episode from Ben,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: but like people talking about really real issues, and I
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: think that's so powerful to share on t V and
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: to normalize for people watching at home. And it seems
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: silly next to those conversations to have drama that seems
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: to have no substance. It does, but I think it's
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: between a rock and a hard place because also, at
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: the same time, what's the show we know and love?
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: It's The Bachelor and The Bachelor, you know. I I
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: love when the show will give you, um, give the
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: viewers a a moment that makes them think because it's
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: given to them in this like digested way where we're
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: watching this you know, silly reality show and then oh wait,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: we've kind of like reflected for a minute and had
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: our eyes open to something. But at the same time,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: we love the silly reality show, so I understand why
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: there It's like, we've got to give people something, you
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: know what I meant, it would be weird if we
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: didn't have any sort of arguments. I feel like we've
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: gone from I keep saying this from one extreme to
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: the other. Claren Dale was like the most insane drama ever,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: edge of my seat, like what is happening? And then
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: now we've gone to like the most real stuff. And
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: yet I will be honest, I'm missing Claren Dale. I do.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: I don't miss that section of the season at all.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: I live for tetatious side and it's so funny because
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: I really, Oh, I'm like soaking in these episodes. That's
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: so interesting. Okay, well, let's get back to Noah and
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Tatia's little one on one sash. She says that she's
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: confused because there's been like so much drama surrounding Noah
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: now and he hates the fact that he's the center
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: of drama, which, of course everyone says that who's ever been, like, oh,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: I love being a center of drama. And then Noah
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: um talks about how Bennett was talking down to people
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: the gift that was so condescending. Um, he gets a
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: little emotional and like he says that he wants Tia
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: to make her own decisions. She ends up deciding that
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Bennett is the one that's going to go. She sends
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: him home. He's like shocked, which I don't know how
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: he's shocked. And then she comes and don't you love
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: this moment when she goes, don't you be smiling like
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: you're in the clear? Look Tasha is. She does that
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: standards with all of these men, like standards that they
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: need to meet in her conversations with them, which I
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: love seeing. And I thought ben It's exit was good.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: I'll give him that. He's like, I'm so sorry if
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: that came across that way. He did have a mature
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: moment of just owning anything. And I might have also
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: missed this, but I didn't really sense that he was
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: questioning Tasia's integrity. I did understand where she was coming
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: from that she was saying, you know, you don't like
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: make the decisions for you. But I thought Bennett gave
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: a solid exit. He he apologized, and uh Noah seemed
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: to be just totally befuddled on how he arrived in
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: his current state. I know, right, I know, but it
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: was it was funny. I love. I just love the
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: way she said that. He was like, oh, oh, okay,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: I know, well, you know what we're talking about, Bennett.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Let's fast forward to the end of the episode because
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: it does kind of can tinue this storyline. Bennett comes back,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: and I was like, mind boggled. First off, do you
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: remember a couple of weeks ago when there were rumors
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: that her husband was going to make an appearance on
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: this season? There was like TikTok's floating around that his
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: voice the subtitle. Yeah, so I thought she was going
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: to open that fence door or whatever that was and
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: see her husband there, But then it was Bennett. So
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: I was shocked for multiple reasons. And then it just
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: unfolds to be like the weirdest thing that I've seen
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Tassia do in the past couple of weeks, or like
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: the most questionable because one we we never really felt
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: chemistry between her and Bennett, but now she's believing that
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: he loves her, and she's even considering bringing him back,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: And especially at a week where she's deciding who her
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: top four hometown dates are going to be, what do
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: you feel like was behind this decision? I think I
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: go back to what I said before, where it just
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: seems like Tassia is a nice, second chance giving person
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: and I sort of wonder if she just was too
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: kind too in the moment tell someone who just said
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: I love you no goodbye? Um. Maybe or maybe we
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: are missing something huge from his storyline. Maybe I don't
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: like to bring up edit, but perhaps there's more chemistry,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: They're more connection that we're not seeing. And because he's
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: such a caricature that it's like just funnier and more
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: polarizing to keep him looking like a caricature without any emotion.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: It's the only thing that I can come up with.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: If this was like a couple of weeks ago and
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: she was going to let him join like the ten
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: remaining men, sure, but the week that she's trying to
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: limit it down to four just seems bizarre. She also
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: says she's like, I was planning on giving you that rose,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: so she was planning on him being in her top
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: how many you left? Six or seven? Interesting? I know
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: that was interesting for her to hear her say she
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: didn't she wasn't gonna send him home that night. But
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: you know, sometimes I wonder about do you ever like
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: date someone for a while because it seems like it
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: should work, and you know, ultimately you have to face that,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: like as much as this person on paper seems great,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: like it's just not there, you know, Yeah, yeah, I
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: get it. I'm like, maybe that's it with Bennett. He's
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: this guy who's mid thirties. Obviously it's a great education,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: so he must be smart. Even though you know what,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: I never got to ask you about this. He really
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: get all those answers wrong on you and Jared's school date.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: So he must have been getting the same amount of
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: questions wrong as the other guys for not to stand
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: out to us. And we just saw the questions and
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: answers that he got wrong. I'm like, how is Boo
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: getting this wrong? He went to Hart and I just
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: don't believe it. I had very major skep uh skepticism,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: But I you know, he's so, he's educated, he's uh,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: you know, he dressed as well, he's handsome, he's kind.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: He he does respond at li Cetasia prettymaturely, except for
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: this Noah thing. And I sort of wonder if he's
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: a guy, like is she and has she kept him
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: around thinking this guy seems great and yet she really
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: knows the connection isn't there somewhere, you know? And is
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: she wondering if it will develop, if the spark will come,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: if she just gives it more time. No, I don't
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: think so Okay, well you think there's a big piece
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: missing in their relationship that we haven't seen on the show.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: It's the only excuse because if we were to go
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: with the theory that you just gave, which is a
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: great theory, but like, look at what she did last
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: week with Easy. She was having a great time with Easy.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Easy was creating no drama. Um, but then the second
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: he said I love you, she was like goodbye. Yeah.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: But I don't know, I hadn't. I felt like I
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: hadn't seen her an Easy talk that much. I've seen
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Bennett more like, you know, promise things he was going
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: to give to her, like that for proposal he gave
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: her on that scab that was one of his glimmers. Yes,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: So I felt like I'd seen more from Bennett and
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: between her and Bennett then with Easy and her Easy said.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: When Easy said that to me, I felt like, where's
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: this even coming from? This? Honestly, I felt like, even
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: though I loved watching Easy, I felt as though he
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: was just saying that because he thought that's what you
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: say on this show. That's what I thought that Bennett
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: was doing when he came back. No, Bennett, I think
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: is caught up. I believe Bennett kind of okay, So
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: that's where I wanted to go from here. I think
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: that he's a harvard Man, handsome Harvard man, has a
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: great job. I feel like women are probably after him
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: all the time, even though he doesn't seem to have
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: his emotional intelligence like down so well um, and then
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: this woman so stunning, so smart herself denies him and
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: picks like other men over him. I feel like he's
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: having this like shook moment and he's falling in love
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: in that way that like you can't have the you
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: can't well, you can't have Yeah, we all want we can.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: I was the oldest brick in the book. Yeah, exactly.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: That's how I'm married today. I believe in I think
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: you gotta play a little game in the beginning to
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: you know, keep people on their toes. That's what you
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: gotta do. I will say some of the stuff that
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Bennett said when he returned. I had seen a lot
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: of people compare Bennett to a Christian Bale's American psycho character.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: I don't want to my own horn, but I do
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: believe I was one of the first people to say
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: that publicly, and I'm like, guys, the non violent kind.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: It doesn't want to make sure right, just again the
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: caricature for the first time. It was just like the
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: way he was talking when he came back, and some
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: of the things he was saying, like in this tone
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: he was coming in. I mean, I was laughing. It
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: was great TV. He's coming in. He's like, can I
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: come in? Oh, it smells amazing in here. I'm so
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: happy to see you. I was like, what, I know.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: I know he's a wild one. He is somebody that
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: we've never seen on this show before. Uh, and we'll
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: see how his storyline ends. I cannot imagine her keeping
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: him around. No, there's no way, right, no way. Well,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: we see in the promo that he's wearing a suit
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: and talk to the other guys. So I'm like, he
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: makes it back in some way. You're right, he does
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: make it back into the group. You Know what's interesting
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: is as we lead into hometowns, I think about the
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: hometown is not really being hometowns but more like family
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: week and these families they've got to be quarantining already.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: So I'm wondering, right because back at liquina. We had
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: to quarantine for five days before maybe it was four nights,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: two tests, always to tests before we went into you know,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: public spaces. So I'm thinking, Um, these families are probably
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: already quarantining and they're gonna have to send some of
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: them back without even making it on the show. Oh painful. Well,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: sorry Mom, Sorry Dad. I know it's so confusing. I
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: get that we have to keep calling at hometowns because
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: that's the show, but I want to call it like
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: family staycations or like family vaca, because nobody's going to
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: their hometown. You know, we're all at the liking Duck.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: I'm very interested to know if they've brought parents and
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: siblings and stuff, or if it's like do they just
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: bring parents in? If they bring in more than parents
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: and siblings, did they get the family like a little
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: house or are they in different rooms? Like I have
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: a lot of logistics questions. I'm very excited to see.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: I also will say I don't think Bennett's going to
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: make it to his family being met on the show,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: but I really want to meet Bennett's family. I want
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: to see where this kid came from. Oh my god,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: you can you imagine how amazing that would be. What
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: if his family is just super normal? Right? I think
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: he said on the really revealing our date. I think
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: he said he didn't grow up in privilege, because that
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: was that moment where Noah like through the word privilege
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: at him and by the way, spelled it wrong. Um,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: but I will so I want to see. I have
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: like a lot of questions I taught when I interviewed
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: um Dr Joseph Park are wonderful doctor who was I
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: thought sent home too soon? I asked him, are Bennett's
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: closed for real? Like? Is that really? Like? You know,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: it seems like he's so well dressed and expensive, And
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Joe said Lauren his shoe collection, like one pair of
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: shoes costs more than like all the shoes I owned
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: put together. He was like, the cost of this man's
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: wardrobe was insane to me. So I'm like, where's this
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: coming from? Is it family money? Is it? He? Is
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: he incredibly successful? For real? Like? I have a lot
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: of questions. We gotta do some background research. Alright, we're
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: gonna take a break right now from this recap, which
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: is going fantastically, but we're gonna break. Then we're gonna
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: be a fan on for a fan question. They have
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: a couple of questions for you, I think Lauren, and yeah,
• 20:51

  Speaker 1: such a great thing. Love Rosen Rose. But man, you
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: were really affectionate with with your love of Bennett and
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: public about Joe. And I'm just I'm worried about you

  Speaker 1: because I love you and Chris Harrison. Do you get
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: there right? You know? Can? I can? I ask you, caller,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: what do you think Chris Harrison and I should stay together? Like?
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: What do you think should be next for us? Oh?
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: I would never be so presumptuous as to decide what
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: you guys should do. I just I'm just worried about you, guys,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: because I love you so much. Okay, I was just
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: wondering if probably should like take any big next steps together.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know, like maybe move in or anything. I
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: I always like to get the fans opinions and then
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: take everything they say very seriously. Um and by the way,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: I don't mean to take up too much time. I'll
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: hang up and I'll take my answer off the air. Okay,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: thanks Chris Harrison. Oh, but we really wanted to know
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Billy Bob from Texas. Okay, well you know Billy Bob.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: I will tell you my my Bennett and Joe. Uh
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: flirtations were were if they appeared that way. We're purely
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: as a fan, just loving them as good TV. Um. Actually,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: when I interviewed Joe before the interview started, he said,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: is this interview gonna make Chris Harrison mad? And I
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: was like, Wow, maybe I've gone too far, Maybe I
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: showed too much love for Joe. So you know, I apologize,
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Billy Bob before you leave. I just have a quick question.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Do you think that there's like a conflict of interests
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: with Lauren Ziema dating Chris Harrison? Like, do you think
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: that she gives her all these behind the scenes uh
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: tidbits and she's able to conduct the greatest interviews because
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: of it? Well, actually, um, I don't know, um, because
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm not around them. I wish it would
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: be a dream come true to be near them. Um.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: But sadly, I think it's the opposite that Chris is
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: so um behind the times and so not cool that
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: he actually learned more from Lauren about his own show
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: than he probably knows himself, which is really sad wellefully unaware. Yes,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: you're right, Billy Bob. I don't how you knew that,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: but you're right. I deliver it alright, Well, Billy, thank
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: you so much for calling in and uh by, ladies,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: love you both, have a great day. You'll have fun
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: if you fine? Good? I love you, stranger. Wow, what
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: that really got me? I really didn't expect that. I
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: was so excited to talk to a fan. Not that
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: that was disappointing, but I mean, Chris Harrison's voice is unmistakable.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: That's hilarious. Thank you for doing that. That's of course,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: that was very fun. Now, I gotta know, does Chris
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: actually get jealous a little bit when you talk about
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: guys being hot, whether they're from the franchise or not,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: because Jared doesn't love it. He says that because you know,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: like all four of us really are public figures, it
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: would be too easy for us to meet and somehow
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: fall in love with our celebrity crushes, bachelor crushes anything
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: like that. Oh interesting. Um, he doesn't care at all
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: about when it comes to like bachelor stuff, you know,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: because I think Chris's franchise doesn't like right, Like I've peeked,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: like like why why why I go out for a
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: hamburger when you have steak at home? Um? I also
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: think it's like like, Chris is really great at man
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: crushing on people. You know, he's got more man crushes
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: than girl crushes. Oh my gosh. We literally I'm not
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: even joking you. The other day we were like, um
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: pulling our car into somewhere and this guy got out
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: of his car and uh, Chris goes literally goes, wow,
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: even I have a crush on that guy. I was like,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: I didn't even notice that guy, what are you talking about? Like,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: and you know he'll like, you know, throws up all
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: the love to uh Matt James and Matt james Is
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: and Tyler Cameron's of the franchise for their incredible fitness, Like, yeah,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: I don't think he cares at all? Do I think
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: he gets so maybe about me interviewing. I interviewed Richard
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Gear one time, and I really don't think that Chris
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: likes how much I bring that up is my face
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: interview ever, because Richard here was like one of my
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: childhood crushes. You know, you're a rom como woman and
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: all that. He doesn't look like pretty woman anymore, but
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: still the auras there fox now, yeah, I mean, and
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: he was just incredibly charming in the interview. And I
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: always cite that as my favorite interview, and I feel
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: like Chris is like, Okay, can we stop talking about that?
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Why am I not your favorite interview? You know, sometimes
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: your your childhood crushes live up to you. I mean,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: if they live up to what you want, how can
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: you go? How can you get better than that? I know?
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: All right, well, let's get back into the recap. I
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: do want to talk about your personal life a little
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: bit more later, but we'll do a whole little interview
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: with Lauren Zema or LZ as Billy Bob slash. Chris
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: Harrison just referred to her as Okay, so we're done
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: with Bennett, but now we're on to Ben and wow,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: that was a heavy, deep date. Um so impressive. Um.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Let's let's start by saying that Ben has been the
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: object of Tasia's affections. I feel like for a while,
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: he has stood out to me for a long time,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: but there was always something that she felt like she
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: couldn't get inside him. Yeah, deeply his brain, There's there's
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: something there. Right, last week we saw an evolution. I
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: still feel like the whole naked thing was a little
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: bit weird, but the fact that we learned about Bulimia
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: and his issues with that following the strip, and then
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: especially this week after knowing when he's gone through over
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: the past couple of years, you know, with those lows,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: I think the strip makes a little bit more sense now,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: just because like he couldn't be like, oh, you know
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: what I'm going to be I'm going to explain all
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: of that I've gone through in front of these men
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: with a piece of art. It's like, no, I'm going
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: to save this up for private time with her. What
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: were you thinking? Yeah, I mean when you look back
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: at that art date and like I think Brendan held
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: up an empty frame, Blake made a clay penis Like
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: it was like Ben could not get into his level
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: of stuff amongst that collection of works. Um, I was
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: so blown away when he said I could correct me
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: if I'm wrong, but I think he said like his
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: family didn't even know that he had attempted suicide, but
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: he was s first person. So that was that made
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: me think that Ben does have so many layers to him.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: And um, you know, I know he was in the
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: army and and then not anymore. And I think sometimes
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: when you've like so fully devoted your life to something
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: that it's out of your life. That's a huge transition.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: It sounds like he's gone through so much. And I really,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: you know, raised my glass to him for again normalizing
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: being open about some of these tough things on such
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: a huge platform. Um. I I was surprised when to
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: just said I feel like I'm not getting something out
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: of you, because in my mind I was thinking, oh
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: my gosh, but he just shared so much with you
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: last week. Maybe she meant like, I feel like there's
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: still more. Yeah, yeah. I I also applaud Taia for
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: how she responded to it. I just felt like it
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: was a really beautiful conversation because that's something where you know,
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: it is so important what you give back to somebody
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: when they've shared like that with you. And I thought
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: she handled it really well. Um yeah, I mean Ben
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: is he is somebody who I think she does have
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: unlike you know, maybe the Bennett. She is incredible physical
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: chemistry with him when he grabs her face and kisses her,
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: and so I'm thinking, one knowing they have that physical
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: chemistry and now they're connecting on these really deep reveals,
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: I'm sort of like, how how this is like an
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: unstoppable it's becoming an unstoppable connection. What what do you
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: think their future hole? I think really, yeah, do you not?
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: I feel like it goes down betwe him and Zach
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: and I think he's gonna win. Um, We're just seeing
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: too much goodness between the two of them. And yeah,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: I just want to like just second when you said
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: like the power and that he Yeah, it was such
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: a powerful moment them having that conversation. It was something
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: that we truly have never seen on this show before.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: We've had like some serious conversations, right, we had this,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: We had the Black Lives Matter conversation with Ivan a
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, we had the drug addiction conversation
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: with Zach, Um with Kalin with the sexual abuse, and
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: now we have a conversation here about suicide and just
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: truly brave and powerful for him to be so open
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: and vulnerable with us, um and you know, it's just
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: something that we need to talk about. And I love
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: the fact that the show is having these open moments. Yeah.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: I didn't shy away from it, especially for you know,
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: a man to open up about it. Get that's something
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: very people get into. Um. I man in terms of
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: Ben winning or who might uh be there at the end.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: I will say she and Brendan had such a strong
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: first one on one, and you know, we haven't seen
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: him lately, and sometimes when I'm watching the show, there
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: will be somebody who has like that great one on
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: one in the beginning and then they kind of lay
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: low for a little while and then pop back up
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: at the end. And he'd been divorced too, so they
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: connected on that and I felt like she had great
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: chemistry with him. She is having such strong connections to
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: these guys because they've lived you know, these are older guys,
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: they want been through stuff, and they're opening up and
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: I think, my, I think something that's going to have
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: to happen from here is Like I also want to
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: see Tastia get into who she could really live a
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: real life with after the show, And I don't know
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: if we've gotten into that. I feel like we've seen
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: her have these guys open up and they're connecting, but like,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: what does the future look like for them? Like, and
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: I don't totally know who she'd fit it's best yet
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: in that regard, you know what I mean? Like, Yeah,
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know what Ben's actually I'm
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: forgetting where Ben's from. I don't know where he lives.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: He lives in l A. He lives in Sa Monica.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: So it's really close to her, okay, because she's a
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: calli girl and exacts all the way on the East
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Coast that stopped Bachelor couples before. Um yeah, interesting, Okay.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: I I don't see Ben going anywhere. I think at
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: this point they've shared so much and like I'm seeing
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: him sticking through hometowns for for sure. Okay, No, I
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: completely agree, but sticking to that Zach and Ben in
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: the end, So what else have we not talk? We
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: do need to talk about Riley In his serious conversation,
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: Riley was, Okay, it was so funny. I was watching
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: with my dad and once he got that question wrong
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: on the group date where they're doing the lie detector test.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: My dad was like, there's a story behind that, and
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: I was like, really, you think up there, lo and
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: behold there it is. You know. He talks about how
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: his parents separated, how his dad end up at up
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: getting so custody, and he finds some things out about
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: his dad years later doesn't sit well with him. Now.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: It seems like he went from being a strange to
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: his mom. Uh, to reconciling, and now I think that
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: maybe he's got some distance between him and his dad.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: He ends up changing his name to his mom's mom's
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: maiden name or whatever name that she has currently. And uh,
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: we're just learning so much about these guys. You know what,
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: your dad had a better spiky sense or a bachelor
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: sense than I did. I just thought this LIE detector
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: test seems like the as I detector test. Dates you
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: don't I am just like, is this real? I don't know.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Isn't there something where like is Jojo monitoring this? Is
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: there's someone it's back room whose licensed to do this? Like?
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: What is the efficacy is someone? I just had questions
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: about the logistics, considering we had three eight bulbs red, green,
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: and yellow that we're blinking around with the answers, what
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: did the yellow ball? Bean? Was it a half lie?
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: I was so good and then I thought that it was.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: I thought there was gonna be a joke about like, Okay,
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: it wasn't really real because Riley said, I'm a lawyer,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: LIE allowed my clients to use. Well, for anyone who
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: watches crime shows, we know that LIE detective results are
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: not admissible in courts, and it's because you know, yeah,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: they can be a little wonky, or because that's because
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: it's just like well with Zach, you know, Zack forced
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: himself basically to say yes, he cheated because he knew,
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: like in his nerves, in his brain, the little time
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: where he made out as a sixth grader with a
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: girl that wasn't his girlfriend was gonna pop up. So
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: he was super honest. So that when Zack sat down,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: he was looking at Tashia like I just heard a
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: sense of how into her he was in that moment.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: I felt like he was staring at her like I
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: am not going to blow this. I'm doing this right,
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: especially considering he just cried in the middle the day
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: about how much he wanted taste, Like his parents seem happy, like,
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: oh my god, but we're not. We're not on the
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: bachelorrete anymore. We are like in a Lifetime movie and
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: we are working some stuff out. I am so emotionally
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: invested in Zach. I don't know why, Like I the
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: amount of attractive that that man has grown, the amount
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: of like, yeah, the amount that I'm attracted to him
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: in a platonic sense has grown so much. Dar come on,
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: because like just we've gotten to know his personality so well,
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: and I just love like his swag and just the
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: way that they look at each other. I know we
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: talked about this a lot last week to our our listeners,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: but there's something about that guy really really like him
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: the way the Bachelor and the Bachelorette. What it confirms
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: for me is that for anybody, anywhere, an attractive person
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: can become less so if their personality sucks. And a
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: person who you might not have looked at a second time,
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: if they have a great personality. Well, I yes, So Riley,
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Zack and Riley do the lie detector test. I had
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: my questions, but it's fine. It was fun. It was
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: a revealing exercise. Do you think that if you cheat
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: in the sixth grade, you're a cheater? No? No, but
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: I do think it would set a lie detector off.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: So I think it was good that he admitted it.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: I have to be honest. But do you think there
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: was something more? Do you think there was something more? No? Well,
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: Tassia said, and you can tell and I understand that.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: You know, we all respond to like what's happened in
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: our past and we like that's the lens through which
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: we see. Tassia said once a cheater, always a cheater,
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: that she believes that. I don't believe that as a thing,
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: Like I, I don't know. It's kind of like xact
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: with the sixth grade thing. I'm just saying, who didn't
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: have a moment in high school or college where you
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: were like figuring stuff out? You know, I don't know.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: I I it really depends on what the cheating is,
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: and I also and what the context of the relationship is.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: I just don't look at it that way. Um, but
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: it was really really adorable that Zach owned up to
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: his sixth grade bolarama makeout. Yeah, I totally agree. And yeah,
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I'm not sure about the cheater always
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: a cheater thing. It's something that my mom always said
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: growing up. Really yeah, but I don't know. I don't know.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: I think it depends on your age and maturity level
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: as well, Like you could be a totally different person
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: at twenty then you are at thirty, and I don't
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: think that you're going to have the same behaviors in
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: a relationship. But anyway, we have to take a quick
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: break because we have a very special guest. We have
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: the performer that performed on last night's episode, and what
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: a gorgeous voice in song that he sang. We have
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: the artist Adam Hambroke coming on and he I think
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: he's going to perform for us right here. Oh my god,
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: we're getting serend a dream. I didn't expect this treat.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Yes Hi Adam, UM, thank you for being here. Welcome
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: to the Almost Fanas Podcast. Thanks for having me. This
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: is this is awesome. I'm gonna be straight up honest
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: with you. I was not aware of for you are
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: before that episode, but I went and I downloaded your
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: songs because you you've got a great voice. I'll it's
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: like a it's like a Richard Marks field that I
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: get with you, and our listeners know that I love
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: a Richard Marks I'll take that. That's high praise. Thank you.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: So how was it being on the show performing on
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: the show. Um, just an intimate setting. UM, you know,
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: it's really cool. Uh, it's cool for a lot of reasons. Um. One,
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: it was really cool because my first time I'm ever
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: doing like TV, uh, like starting this artist track in
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: my career, Like I moved to Nashville to write songs,
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: and that was sort of the thing that kind of
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: got me started. And then um, you know, had some
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: success there and that was sort of thing that kind
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: of lauched me into like getting to make my own
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: music and my own records. But this is the first
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: time I've actually been able to take that to TV
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: and see how it translates. I was super nervous. Um,
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: but because I guess because like the quarantine bubble or whatever,
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: we got to go we got to like chill for
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: a couple of days and we had to be like
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: quarantine up and COVID test. Did you enjoy it? Did
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: you enjoy that quarantine? Because Jared and I did when
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: we were down at Laquinta. There are worse places to
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: be hold up. I'll tell you that exactly our thoughts.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: It was kind of like it was a little like college.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, we just we drank Coors Light and played
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: PlayStation for three days in my band. It was kind
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: of awesome. That's amazing. How did you feel the chemistry
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: between Ben and Tatia was just from the little you
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: got to see of their date, you know, I thought,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: I mean they were just really into the evening. You'd
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: tell they were kind of like lost in each other
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: and and like whatever. And I've never like watched the show,
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: so this so be so stepping on to set that
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: was my first exposure to the show period, and uh,
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: I was just like these are real people who are
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: like really all about what's going on? Like this is
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: I have a completely superficial question for you. How I
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: know how gorgeous Tasia is in person? Like how incredibly
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: handsome has been in person? He looks like Captain America
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: to me? What I said to like that that dude,
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: Steve Rogers, that's Captain America right there. But yeah, like
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: super nice dude too. Like we talked for a little
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: bit afterwards. Um toxication. Of course, she's just like I
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: don't know, she's just like effervescing. You know, she's just
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: a good word. You know, that's the song in me?
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: How did you pick what song you're gonna sing for
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: a moment like that? Um? That was that was requested
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: by bys and everything. They you know, they because I
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: haven't put a ton of music out yet, so like
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: I'm still you as an artist and that's why you
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: hadn't heard um. But you know, so they kind of
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: like look through what was out and they're like, this
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: is we think this would be great. And the song
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: itself is the song I like wrote during covid um
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: what kind of comes from a place of songs called
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: Between Me and the End of the World. It's kind
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: of a love letter to umu to My wife is
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: a physician assistant and she's been treating people during this
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: whole thing, is like testing people for the virus. So
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: it's kind of been like us absolutely, I will um
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: and so like this song is kind of like a
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: love letter to people like that who step in kind
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: of when things go sideways and things go bad um
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: and so it was really specially get to play show.
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: That's amazing. It definitely seems fitting. Um. All right, so
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: I hear that you are down to play us a
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: little bit of a song of your choosing. Is it
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: going to be that one? Absolutely? Your your choices, you
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: want us to be that one? Yeah, whatever you want,
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: whatever you want to expose to all our listeners. I'll
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: play this is that song called Between Me and the
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: End of the World. It feels like the sky my
• 42:05

  Speaker 1: thank you again to your wife. Yes, thank you Lauren.
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: That guy has got a good voice. I mean, why
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: am I coin? No? He was so good. I'm so
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: glad that they gave him the platform to get it
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: out there. Or did you have anything else you want
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: to talk about as far as the episode? You know what?
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: I need one more opinion from you on one final
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: thing because this is something I keep thinking about. I
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: feel we've had these guys with these incredible emotional stories,
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: and they've shared their struggles like maybe more than any
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: other season. I can't think of another Bachelorette season when
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: the men have shared on this level. And I'm a
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: big believer that, you know, we all go through things. Um,
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: and I don't believe that your partner is there to
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: fix you, you know, I and Tatious said that. She said,
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: I'm not here to turn boys into men. I think
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: that you have to come into a successful relationship is
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: about coming in, you know, with each person largely as
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: a whole. Okay, your your partners should improve and challenge you,
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: but you've got to like have it together. Which of
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: these guys do you think, given like some of the
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: struggles they've had to go through and definitely like the
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: emotional work they've had to do, do you think they're
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: already for marriage or do any of them still have
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: like personal stuff to work on. I don't know, who
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: do you think is the most together? I think that
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: is like the biggest question here, because I don't want
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: to say that people who are going through things aren't
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: ready for a relationship. That is obviously not accurate. I
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: feel like all these guys probably have to do work
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: on themselves. Constantly, as all of us do. UM, but
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: some issues are bigger, you know, than others, and some
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: problems are more recent than others. UM. And I think
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: that you know, Ben brought up support of you know,
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: somebody close in your life and how important that is,
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: So that could be Tasia. She doesn't have to like
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: make them better, you know, to be like their emotional doctor,
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: but to be a support. The guy that I think
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: is most together and ready, I find I feel like
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: it might be Zack, but I guess I all Zach
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: or Brendan. I do love Brendan. He doesn't seem to
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: have the kind of he got divorced, you know, but
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: everything else in his life seems to be kind of
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: like positioned, positioning himself for marriage, you know, Zach kind
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: of like, here's what because like my gut instinct is Zach.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: But there are two things that stuck out to me
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: this episode or maybe this season. One. He said not
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: too long ago that he's like just realized that he
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: feels ready for marriage, like being on the show made
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: him realize that, which I'm like, wait, is that a
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: great thing? Or is that like too soon? I don't know?
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: And then but him crying about making his parents, wanting
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: his parents to see him happy. Ilore, I don't know.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: I agree. I agree there is that that moment really
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: made me feel like Zach is like so ready to
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: get married. I feel like the other guys if they'll
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: leave this and they will have grown and like they'll
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: have prepared themselves better for that moment that comes in
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: their life. But I feel like Zach is ready for
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: it now, and he'll be like the most devastated it
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: doesn't happen with Tasia. I wanted to ask you about it,
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: because it really is, like I said, I think this.
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: I can't think of another season when we've seen the
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: guys open up like this much and get this um
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: raw and and and it's kind of this thing where
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: you think, does this mean you, you know, have worked
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: through all your stuff? Does this mean Taste is the
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: perfect fit? And she's such a good listener I know.
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: So I'm like I racking my brain every week about
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: what the best fit for her is and I'm having
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: such a t I know it's gonna be hard. This
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: is going to be final ending of all. This is
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: going to be a freaking blood bath of tears. That's
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: what I think for this season. If she does get engaged,
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: she's going to know these guys for I'm not even
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: sure five weeks. And that's going to make you nervous.
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: And I know that's paradise status. You know, paradise you
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: get engaged after like three and a half weeks. But
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: with paradise you get to spend each waking moment and night.
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: If you choose with this person in this case, you
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: know she's going to have I know, we talked about
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: Clarien Dale speeding through things, but we're still We're still
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: going eighty miles, just crying along the way, all right, Lauren.
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: So we talked a lot about Tatia's personal life. Now
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: it's time for me to grill you on your personal life.
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: Let's go. Okay, fine, if I get to talk about
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: Tatia's I gotta be able to talk about okay, cool.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: I mean we've all done us um. Okay, So you
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: and Chris you did interviews before you were dating? Yes?
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: When was there was there always like a sense of attraction, flirtation,
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: chemistry between you guys? Know, like when did it turn?
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: You know, it's so funny I I would be interviewing him.
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: I mean I've been I've been an ETA for five
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: years this year, and the first couple of years I
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: would be interviewing him, and my friends, like my friends
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: from home, like my college friends would actually be like,
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: is Chris Harrison as hot in person as he sits
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: on the show, And I was like, he's fine, Dad,
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know you were also married at that point.
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: I was married at that point. I I you know,
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: there was no I was just I was also always
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: so focused on doing my job, you know. I mean,
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: Chris is a very as you know you've interviewed him.
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: He's a very good interview He really knows how as
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: he says to like Bob, and we've also gives great
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: sound bites. So I would be so focused going into
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: interview him, even when I was single. I would be
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: so focused on getting a good answer that I was
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: like not even really looking into those baby blue eyes
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: and then thinking about anything. Um. And then everything changed
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: when I think it was at a paradise tell all,
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: we literally ran into each other at craft services, like
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: I was going to get coffee, he was getting tea.
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: Because you know those tell all tapings are like nine
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: hours long, are often freezing in those warehouses, been there together.
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: We're on a studio set where I've passed out advil
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: at those tells before to everybody because you get a
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: headache from everyone screaming at each other. Um. So we
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: ran into each other and had what we now call
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: like our first human conversation. It was the first time
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: we'd ever spoken outside of an interview setting, and we
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: just kind of talked about life and like somehow, I
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: don't remember how, but it came out very quickly that
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: we were both single. And then I slid into his
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: d M s on Twitter and said, Hey, it was
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: so good to see you the other day, because I
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: was sort of like, was he flirting with me? And
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: he sort of sliding in the d M When you
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: guys are both single, it's flirting. I feel well, I
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: couldn't tell if he was flirting with me in person,
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: so then I was like, let me flirt for real
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: and see if you're flogged. I believe in opening the
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: door and if somebody walks through, that's great, and if not,
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: you know, I just keep on going down the hallway. Okay.
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: So he sent that out and how do you respond? Um.
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: Then things got Then it became clear to me very quickly.
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: You know, it was like, let's he did a great
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: thing which I think everyone needs to do, which is
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: he said, hey, let's like exchange numbers and you know,
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: get this off of the d M s UM. And
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: he very quickly said, let's get a drink together. And
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: again I'm like, because to me, I think it's so
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: dangerous when you keep messaging like I don't know, in
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: dating apps and all that, like you got to make
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: it a real interaction. UM. And he's old school like that,
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: which I think is great. So then we just had
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: one of these as drinks where we truly like talked
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: for three hours and he right away like texted me, hey,
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: it was great seeing you, and I like, when can
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: I take you out again? And fantastic Chris. I'm so proud.
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: He's such a good data. He's really learned being Okay, Well,
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: so what did you do before your republic? You went
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: six months hiding your relationship, as I find to be
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: very respectable and normal, but you still did interviews with
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: him during that six month period. How did you hide it?
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: I did? Honestly, it was kind of fun. I don't know,
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: it was kind of like and the reason that we
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: didn't go public with it, truly was because we were
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: both just like, look, this is going well, but I
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: don't want this to become a thing that affects you know,
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: my job or his job if it if it doesn't stick,
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: so um, we just want to make sure we were
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: serious before it went public. Um. And it was sort
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: of fun because we would be like, I'd see him
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: in interviews and I again I was there. I'm like,
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: I gotta do my job and ask all the questions
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: I need to ask, um, and then it would kind
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: of be like, all right, well, I'll see. It was
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: kind of a fun secret. Sometimes it's fun now, you know,

• 52:18
  Speaker 1: um kind of had a little fun around town. It

  Speaker 1: but we had to play a guest and game us
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: to who it was, and we did guess Chris and
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: he did a great job maneuvering our thought process away
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: from that. You didn't know, did you really believe me
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: that it wasn't him. Yeah, I really I really did. Wow,

• 55:14
  Speaker 1: and it was just all about like how loving me
• 55:17

• 55:20
  Speaker 1: I just like read it through tears. It was I
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: will you know what, that was the most romantic thing,
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: honestly because I had never had someone touched me with
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: words like that before. And um, I think probably you know,
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: we all grew up being like you want the Princess
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: moments where they do these things, and it was the
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: most little thing for him to just write from the heart.
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: But I don't know, I was like, I feel like
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: I'm in another time where people write letters like some
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: pride and prejudice crap. And it was really really, really beautiful.
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, wow, am I going to cry on
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: the almost famous podcast? Oh my god? Those are our
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: favorite moments. I was gonna ask you, did you have
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: expectations with this guy who's just, you know, again the
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: face of the franchise, like he's supposed to be romantic.
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: Did you assume he would be romantic and would have
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: picked up things from the show, or did you feel like, oh,
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: this is just gonna be a regular guy Chris from
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: the you know this from the instant you meet him,
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: he gives off like this classic old Hollywood energy, you know,
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: he's like from Texas. He's like a man, and I
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: mean that in the best ways of like sort of
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: this old school even though he completely champions me as
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: this independent career woman and he just like is my
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: biggest cheerleader in all those ways. He's also like, I
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: will make you feel taken care of in every way,
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: and I so I never even like, was never a
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: question for me. I think from that first date when
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: he's you know, texted me right away, Hey, are you
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: home safe? I had an amazing time tonight, like and
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: I'd love to take you out as soon as possible. Again,
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, this guy's not messing around, you know.
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: This guy's like actually, I don't know if I've ever
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: said this. There was when we first started dating. It
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: was weird timing. I had gone out on a couple
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: of dates with this other guy and I told Chris
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: right away. I was like, look, I was kind of
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: like dating this other guy and I don't know where,
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. I kind of like him
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: and like I want to take this slow. And he
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: said to me, okay, yeah, no, like figure that out
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: and gone dates with whoever you want, and like when
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: you and hopefully if you realize that I'm the guy
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: for you, I'm not dating anyone else, and I'm right here.
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: And I was like, damn, damn, Chris Harris said, living
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: up to all the expectations and fantasies, it's almost upsetting.
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: It's almost like, Okay, keep being perfect. But I love
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: what you said about his old Hollywood energy. He certainly
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: has that. You know. He's like he wears a watch
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: and a suit and he's like, I'm going to do
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: things right. I don't know. There's something about that. And
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: it's a sexy vine. It's a Richard gear Esk kind
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: of a thing. Got a swag. He's got a swag,
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: and he is so much more intelligent that people would
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: even think. It's so much more talented, and his job
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: is far more difficult than people think it is. He
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: makes it look easy. That's how you know he's one
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: of the greats. You know, he really makes it look easy,
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: like I always think. I kept thinking, you know that
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: that moment when he was sitting down with Claire and
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: Dale and he said, what's next for you guys? And
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: Dale started to answer and then Claire said babies and
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: Dale kept talking and Chris said, oh, wait, like Dale,
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: she said, you know, And I just thought he such
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: a good interviewer. You know, he like listens, he calls
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: people out in the right ways. He's great at it. Wait, now,
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: if you ever revealed what the most romantic thing Jared
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: has done for you is? Like, now, I want to
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: know because I love you guys together so much. Sorry,
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: I can't be somewhere and not interview someone. Oh it's okay,
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: So I think I think the most romantic it was
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: actually before we were together, but like during that year
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: of complete confusion for me, in between Bade and Paradise seasons.
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: So it was my birthday, So the first birthday that
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: we knew each other, he sent roses to my apartment
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: and it's like the note said like the Corey. It
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: was like sincerely, like the Corey to your topanga and
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: it was like a really cute note. Oh and he
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: knew you'd love that, I know. And then he goes like,
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: but that's not your own. This is not your only gift,
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: and he's like, you'll get your your real gift later tonight.
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: And that's when he like recreated the Backstreet Boys music
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: video uh Me. And it was just like so funny
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: because well it wasn't funny, it was romantic because I
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: knew how much effort he had to put into that
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: and like how he had to have his roommate follow
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: him around like do all the moves and the mouth
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: the words and you know, edit the whole thing together,
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: and it was just like you could tell it was
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: a project. It's the effort. For me, it with anything.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: I'm like, whether it's you're writing a letter or giving
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: someone a gift, what's the effort behind it? And what
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: I love about that is that Jared did what he
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: knew would make it was you personal. That's always such
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: a difference to me in a gift. I'm like, ladies, gentlemen,
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: whoever look at if someone's getting you, like an expensive
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: gift or something. I mean, okay, great, but like, are
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: they getting you a gift they know you will love
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: or they just trying to make a show of giving
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: the gift. It's such a key distinction. And Corey to
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: Panga Backstreet Boys, Jared is always embraced and loved exactly
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: who you are, which is why seeing you guys so
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: happy together it makes me so happy because you know
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: how real it is. Thank you Now now that you
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: say this, now I have to spring up something else
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: he did that year. Sorry, sorry guy. The producers are
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: probably like, actually, move on, move on. Um okay. So
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: this was a couple of months before that gesture, and
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: this was when we were just starting to become honestly
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: like friends because getting off the show it was weird
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: because it was just weird. And then we're at that fall.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: We got close and we were like having glimpsed, like
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: there were the glimmers, you know, and there were the flirtations.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: And we had gone to this club lounge thing in
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: in l A with Nick JJ and one of Nick's friends,
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: and I was the only girl amongst the bunch, was
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: like trying to fit in with the boys, right, And
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: we were leaving this place, there was a like a
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: vendor somebody handing out single roses outside as we waited
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: for Uber to come, and I joked about I was like, Jared,
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: you so owe me one of those roses, and he
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: felt really bad because he didn't have any cash on him,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: so he didn't end up getting it for me. And
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: then a couple of days later, he said, um, like
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: what's your address, or like except expect something in the mail,
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: because like just expect something to the mail. I'm like okay,

• 1:02:25

• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: headline this week is Tasia Adams waited to have sex
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: before her first marriage. She said this is She says
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: she's not gonna do it again. She says, this is
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: something that you have to explore. No, I actually think
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: this is interesting because I mean, you know people. I
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: mean like there's there's me, there's so many, There's Maddie
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: and then there's Colton, who whose season she was on.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: And it's interesting that this didn't come up during Colton's season.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: She never said, you know, I get waiting. I waited
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: for my first marriage. Actually her first marriage was to
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: her first boyfriend too, so that is such a good point. Wow,
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: that really would have been something for them to connect on.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: I know, I know. But she does say now that
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: she's she's not gonna do it again. She thinks that
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: that kind of intimacy is something that you should explore
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: before locking it down. I agree. But how do you
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: feel I respected both decisions? Uh? Yeah, Like, if you
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: want to wait, I think you should wait. Um, but
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: if you don't, I think that it's Honestly, I think
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: it depends on the person. I think it depends on
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: how important that is to you, And like obviously if
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: you're waiting, you don't even know how important it would
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: be to you. Totally depends on the person. I also
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: think it depends on the life place during the age
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: you're at. Honestly, totally, I totally, I completely see how Um.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: I think there's something about often when you at least
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: with what I've seen from my friends because I grew
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: up in the Midwest and a lot of people I
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: know got married younger, like, including myself, um now divorced,
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: but it's fine. Um So I think that when you
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: get married younger, like, you can in many ways sort
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: of like grow up with that person and that can
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: really work. Or you know, sometimes you grow apart and
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: you're like, oh wait, we didn't know who we were yet.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: But I completely understand when if you get married really young,
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: especially like and that's an important conviction to you, it
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: that can work out great and it can be fine,
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: and it can be something really special and beautiful that
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: you share with that person. I do know a couple
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: of people who are like truly in their thirties and
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: like still waiting, and I'm like, you might want to
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: just yeah dive. In My take on this is that
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: it's totally up to the person, and it's totally up
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: to the person's beliefs. If you want to wait, fantastic.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: If you don't want to wait, I'm cool with that too.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: It doesn't even matter what I think. It matters what
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: you think and how you want to live your life
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: and go through your relationship. So right now, Tasia does
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: not want to wait to have sex until after marriage. Again, well,
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: maybe she's learned from her first experience that for her,
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: it's something she needs to know about. She's like, I, I, actually,
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: I've realized this is really important to me, and I've
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: got to have that level of intimacy to know. I
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: understand that when you've been divorced, you're like, wait, I
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: really I really really want to make sure I'm good
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: before I get married again. Like that's something you go
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: into relationships with. I think, like we saw on that
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: wedding dress date with her and Zach, you could tell
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: she was like, this is triggering for me, this is
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: furious for me. So I think it's it seems to
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: be about that she like takes marriage very seriously and
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: wants to really feel good about the person in every
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: respect before she would get married again. Yeah, I alwayusly
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: got Jessica Simpson and how she waited with Nicholas and
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: then like afterward she was like, I wouldn't do that again,
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: and she was she was taking up being John Mayer's
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: sexual napom and all that kind of Hollywood interview. And
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: I Our next headline is the release of Matt James
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: Is Season press release. Okay, so in this press release
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: I'm going through there's a couple of things that are
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: worthy of noting. For you guys. There are thirty two
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: girls that come out the limo on night one, and
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: that seems to becoming more of the norm that we're
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: getting an number around thirty. Now it looks as if
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: he eliminates it down to twenty four women at that
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: first Rose ceremony on night one, So that was a
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: big chunk. Eight girls out. Bye, that's rough. I feel
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: bad for them. What do you think of his tagline?
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: That was? I think that was the next thing I
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: wanted to talk about that I am not down, so
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: that you're not you guys, the tag line for this
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: season is a Matt made in Heaven. I mean, I
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: get that we try to be punny, but a Matt
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: made in heaven. A Matt I mean, oh oh no,
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: I'm getting Oh my god, wait, where you not getting it?
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: Oh my god? Okay, no, I was getting like a
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: match made in heaven. Okay, right, So I was getting
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: a match made in heaven, and then I was like
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: a Matt as in heat. See when I think of
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: the word Matt in that sentence, thinking of like a carpet,
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: like a bath, like a bath mat. Oh my God,
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: I can't that was going to be on his poster,
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: A Matt made in Heaven. Okay, yeah, okay, because he
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: is like, he looks like he's made in heaven. Oh
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: my god. Wow, talk about being slow today maybe every day. Wow,
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: I'm so embarrassed. Now it all makes sense. I'm like
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: a Matt made in like speaking of Jessica Simpson was
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: this year. This is it. I was here for it.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: I feel honored. Oh my goodness. Okay, well there you go.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: All right, So now how do you feel about a
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: mat made in happen? Now? I think it's cute because
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: I met Matt and I think that he had he
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: has made in heaven. I think he's a fantastic, fantastic
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: choices bachelor. Love his vibes. He's like six eight I entered.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: So what's weird is I interviewed him literally before it
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: might have been the day before it was supposed to
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: be Claire's Night one, when it was like, you know,
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: that weird week in March. He was like, oh my god,
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: is everything shutting down? So entertainment tonight. We go and
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: do interviews on the set at different points during the season,
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: and I interviewed Matt like as a contestant on clear scene,
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: that's right because you have yeah, yeah that so like
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: clips from the video or up on my Instagram. Still,
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: it's so weird now because I actually asked him in
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: the interview, which well, if it doesn't work, how clear
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: would you have to be the Bachelor? But like how
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: did he say it? I think he said, you know,
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: a solid answer, which is like, look, I hope it
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: works out with Claire. I mean, she seems amazing. So
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: he's very but I had never met him or talked
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: to him before. I just heard about him through Tyler obviously,
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: and he um, he was he had great answers for
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: things like he was a great interview. It made me
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: feel really confident about him as the Bachelor. Um and
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: I love the tagline because I do think I think
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: the Bachelor nation has gotten to know him through Tyler,
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: and I feel like people look at him is like
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: this great guy, Like I mean, we're gonna watch the
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: whole season unfold, but right now, I think people look
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: at him and they're like, he seems like awesome, just
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: you know, he seems like making me way. He's way
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: swoonier and of life, and he was in the quarantine house.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: He was like a bro in the quarantine house. Oh yeah,
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: the quarantine crew, Tyler and all them like dancing in
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: the yard. Yeah. I think it helps to have I
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: mean this promo when you put a suit on a
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: man and he's like tugging at the tie like that.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: It's a lot of great visuals. He looks great, great
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: great photo. And also I want to go back to
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: the thirty two girls. Actually this is the first is
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: a record breaking year. Thirty two never had that many
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: on opening night. But it doesn't seem like, oh it's
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: twenty four, continue on, so I feel like that is
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: a pretty normal number. Okay, So our next headline is
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: Beca Martinez thinks that Claire Curly and Dale Moss were
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: almost coursed into getting engaged. She thinks that there was
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: too much pressure on them. She says, quote, I would
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: not be happy if I were her. It just felt
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: like there was a lot of spinning of what happened
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: to make her lee you. I mean, it was just
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: so obvious as a viewer at the very end that
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: the two of them were almost coerced into getting engaged.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: It seems like they really love each other, but that
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: was bizarre, and I would be upset as a lead
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: to be pretty piste off because you you sort of
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: shortened me a season that was supposed to be mine.
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: But you know, at the end of the day, I
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: have to give it to Claire because she seems like
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: she was really there for the right reasons. What do
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: you think about that? I don't I don't know. I
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: know that there are telling people to be upset. I'm like,
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: like her saying, if I were her, I'd I'd be
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: pissed or what it was the other thing she said,
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: if I were her, I wouldn't be happy like Claire's happy.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, if there's one thing we've heard from Claire herself,
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: it's that she's super in love, super happy. Dale is
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: her person and I quote Dale and her met on
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: another realm, in another life. He is the guy for
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: her and she has found everything she wants. So I'm like,
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: why are we telling her to not Why are we
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: telling her to be frustrated when she's so happy? And
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: in addition to that, like I know that there were
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: rumors about like her them, you know, like the way
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: that she was like forced out of being the Bachelor
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: writer whatnot but watching that episode, that final episode, there
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: is nothing that makes me think that she just seemed
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: like she wanted to get out of there with Dale,
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: no other factors. She said that herself, and I think
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: the lines that always stuck out to me actually from
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: what she said, even more than when she was saying
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: I just want to be with you know, we start
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: saying I just want to be with Dale, you know.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: But then when Chris, Chris asked her something about the
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: next step is a or do you want a proposal?
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: And I think she said, that's the dumbest question you've
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: ever asked me? Yes, And I just thought, Okay, yeah,
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: she's she's she's thinking, how could anyone think I don't
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: want this? I don't know, so I don't know. You know.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: Claire said many times she was at the age where
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: she knew exactly what she wanted and she was tired

  Speaker 1: of waiting. So Claire seems happy, and I said, go

  Speaker 1: She says a dream, except I'm not dreaming, I'm wide
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: awake as she has, you know a picture of the sonogram,
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: she says, watching you dance around my belly, listening to

• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: of course Ben was quick to respond on Instagram saying

• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: happiness already happy news. Yes, I love some happy news
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: in and a baby is always a blessing. And I
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: just feel like Lauren has um I don't know she's
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: she's just really I think found like her and Christine
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: have so much fun together. I feel like you can
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: see that on Instagram, and um, I don't it seems
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: like they're just really building this beautiful life together. I
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: don't have to say about them like this is great. Great.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: She was open a couple of months ago about like
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: their struggles to have a child, like I don't we
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: don't know how long they were trying, but you know,
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: it just seemed to not be as easy as she
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: was hoping for it to be. So we're really happy
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: to hear that she's pregnant, and you know she's she's
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: pretty pretty far along to be comfortable enough to talk
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: about it. All right. Yeah, so another baby news Chris.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: Crystal Neilsen says it was scary finding out she was
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: pregnant while she was still legally married to Chris. Uh.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: Nothing more really to collaborate here, but but that is, um,
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: that's some stressful stuff right there, right. I mean the
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: time thing and all this stuff about them coming out
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: too has been crazy, right because I think it was
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: like Chris ran done and just come back on Instagram
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: and like a matter of hours later, Crystal announced she
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: was pregnant, which it very much seemed like she'd been
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: working on that announcement for a while because she had
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: a whole video to go and ready to go and everything.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: I was just like this like that. I don't know,
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: I was. It's a lot to process. I know, it's
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: the way it's played out publicly has made it like
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: it's sort of it's a lot to process. It's just
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: hard because you want to be happy for her, and
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: you are happy for her, but like you're also sad
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: for him, and he just like it keeps, he just
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: keeps getting hit down, you know, just like with the
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: first of the boyfriend and then the baby news is
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: just like a guy I can't come up for air.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: So you know, yeah, I know, I I wish them
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: both the best. I think I entered. I did like
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: a big interview with them once, and they had talked
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: about Crystal and Chris about how they've been like literally
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: two couples like days long couples retreats together to do
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: very deep there because he has heard about these Yes,
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: so I think that I'm just like whatever, you know,
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: they've both been through a lot in their lives and
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: whatever you guys, like if you found happiness, like cling
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: on to that. You know. I hope that Chris ran
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: don't find somebody to me too. From one Bachelor divorce
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: to the longest Bachelor marriage, Trista and Ryan Sutter celebrated
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: seventeen years of marriage this week. That's incredible, canfully the
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: show has got on for seventeen plus years and it's
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: so cool to have a success story. Like there's like
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: and then what a horrible time though, I feel so
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: bad he's continuing to battle this mystery illness. They don't
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: know what is what's going on with with poor Ryan. Um,
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: but this is a truly in sickness and health moment.
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: And I know that they've been like tons of people
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: have been offering them potential solutions, and I think that
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: in itself is probably stressful, like trying to field it
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: all and and um, they are just you know, they're
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: one of those couples that I think did the brilliant
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: thing right where they said, like, we're going to embrace
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: and love the way we met. We loved the show,
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: like we love all the opportunities from it, but we're
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: also going to like go live a normal life together.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: And they really have. You know, they take their kids
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: to hockey practice and he's a firefighter and they are
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: they've just like have I think, really found success in
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: like building that real real life together. They're they're the
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: gold standard of that for me. No, I love it.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest, guys, don't have a transition from
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: a seventeen year old marriage to Tyler Cameron's new merch
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: line of sweatshirts covered with a shirtless photo of him. Yeah,
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: so this was gonna be weird. I'm going to be honest.
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: I'm super nice to everyone usually, right this merch line.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: Don't really like it. I I think it's weird. I
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: wouldn't wear it. I will say that I don't. I
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: don't think I would wear it. Um. I think I'm
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: looking at his instagram now. The first it's very interesting
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: to see someone wear themselves on a shirt. It's not
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: something you just like see very often exactly. It's a
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: little self indulgent for me. I think all social media
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: is self indulgent. All of us are kind of like,
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: look at my life, Look what I'm doing, Look how
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: pretty I am, and all that stuff. But it crosses
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: the line when you take the shirtless photo of yourself
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: and then you wear it. Well, the second photo, he's
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: totally naked. He's just holding a pie over his area
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: on the second sweatshirt, and then Matt James is like,
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: photo you wow, maybe it's a pizza. I can't really tell. Um. Yeah,
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: I you know what. On the one hand, know your brand,
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: do what works for you? Certainly on brand um the
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: shirtless stuff, yes, and uh, and I'll be interested to
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: see what happens. They also it's such it's a lot
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: to take in because also in this merch line is
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: names Cameron one like as if it's like their president
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: and vice president like ticket together, And I'm like, I
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: don't know, you know, I would not vote for Tyler
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: and Matt for president vice president all my love, but
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: I would not, And I don't think I would wear
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: shirtless Tyler Cameron sweatshirt. But I do wish him the
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: best with the product. Now see, there there might be
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: an audience for this. I understand that you. I think
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: it's not us. That's not us. Um. I think that
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: a lot of girls do want a shirtless selfish I
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: think that a lot of girls do want a shirtless
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: photo of Tyler on their chest on their sweatshirt. But
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: I also don't know if I love the fact that
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: he's like pulling Matt in on all of this, Like
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: it's kind of like he's trying to tag along with
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: his bachelor Matt. But I know that Matt could even
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: about Yeah, yeah, you know you're tag team in it. Okay,
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: I think you're right. This goes back to what you
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: and I were talking about earlier, like how far do
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: we go with like saying that we find the guys
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: of the franchise attractive or whatever. If you want to
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: wear Tyler Camera shirtless on your body, great, Tyler is
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: a hot guy. I will not be wearing a photo
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 1: of Tyler Camera shirtless on my first agreed. Okay, so
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: we have two emails that we want to hit before
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: we wrap up. Lauren, Lauren, thank you for dedicating so
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: much time to this today. Really really thank you for
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 1: our first emails. From Cora, she said, this is a
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: response to your feelings about Ben getting naked on the date.
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: I think that at first it seems a little weird
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: because we don't know how how this is letting him
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: this is him letting his guard down. But when we
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: learn about his eating disorder, I think it all came
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: together and it made sense for me. He had the
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: strength to bear it all and be proud of the
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: body that he has. I don't think what he did
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: on the date was weird when you look at the
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: big picture. Totally agree. Now, Cora, Ben and I both
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: apologize for not bringing up the Bulimia conversation last week.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: We don't know how that slipped our mind. I do
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: you know, multiple recaps throughout the week on different platforms,
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: and I approached on everything else. For some reason, we've
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: slipped our mind here, and that was a very important
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: conversation to have. Super Brave of him, as we talked
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: about earlier in the show, especially as a man talking
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: about UM, an eating disorder, which is actually very common.
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: It's it's not very common, but it's actually more common
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: than you would think. I did look up stats last
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: week and there's over a million men in the country,
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: like per year that are suffering from an eating disorder UM.
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: And yes, I do think that body image and how
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: where he is with it now does tie back to
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: him stripping down on that date, So it it may
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: be a little bit, a little bit out of the norm,
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: but I do think it makes way more sense now
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: in context, and we should have talked about that last week.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: I'm so interested to know also, how much like like,
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: if Ben had shared that with the other guys m
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: because we saw him tell it to Tasia and private.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: And I'm not saying he should have. I'm just interested
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 1: to know because if they didn't know that, I would
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: understand how the other guys would look at him stripping
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: down and be like kind of like, you know, kind
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: of like wearing a shirt was photo, and it's like, oh,
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: that's a little self indulge in bro like just getting naked.
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: But then yeah, when you look at it with that
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 1: additional context from him and the sharing, like it probably
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: was that I'm projecting my thoughts on him or which
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: I don't mean to, but I can't imagine that it
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: was easy. It seemed like to him it was a
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: vulnerable moment to do that, so it became really powerful
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: as you watched the whole narrative unfold totally, and like,
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: his body isn't something obviously that he's always been proud
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: and confident and comfortable in, So he really was bearing
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: himself there, all right. Our other email is from Joanna
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: and she said, I noticed during this season during cocktail
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: parties after group dates, the guys have been dressing fairly casual,
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: while Tasia has been all dressed up very nicely. It's
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: driving me nuts. Has anybody else noticed this? So I
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: think my excuse for this, and yeah, I guess I'm
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: excusing the guys is that Tassia gets to wear you know, sleeveless,
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: strap less short dresses. It's you know, it's freaking hot,
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: and a girl, yeah, a girl can dress the Nines
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: when it's hot, but guys having to wear, you know,
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: a long sleeve shirt and then a suit on top
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: of it with pants. Oh my gosh, guys, the heat
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 1: that we felt down there was unlike anything I've ever experienced.
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: It's truly like being in a sauna. It was a
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifteen degrees when I was there. So, yeah, Lauren,
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: you have more to elaborate on this. Well, what Chris
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: would tell me too was that also, like at night,
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: there was no relief for them, like there's not in
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: California usually at night there's no humidity and it like
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: cools down a lot at night. He was like, no,
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: in the desert in the summer, it was still so
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: hot at night, and yeah, what are the guys going
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: to wear a tank top? Like? They don't have a
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: lot of options. Because I asked him, I'm like, I
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 1: feel like these guys are in white T shirts every minute?
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: Did they pack wrong? And you guys did to go
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: and get them some white T shirts to wear? And
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: he said no, it was just you know, usually see
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: the guys in the collared shirts. It was way too hot.
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: And then obviously on TV, you can't wear T shirts
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: with like logos, you know, so they just all keep
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: ending up in these like just basic white T shirts
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: so that they don't look too messy but that they
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: can actually function enough on you, guys, I wish you
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: could have experienced the heat and and how it felt
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: feels at night to still it's like it cools down
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: a bit, but it's still pretty hard to breathe out there. Blessed,
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: we blessed. We thank everyone for going out and filming
