Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
0:03
Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio.
0:05
Speaker 2: It's another episode of The Golden Bachelor. We're week six.
0:08
Speaker 2: It's an emotional episode, one that I will theme us Indiana.
0:12
Speaker 1: Boys.
0:14
Speaker 2: We just seem to uh yeah, we just have big hearts.
0:18
Speaker 2: We just have big hearts. We just really want love.
0:21
Speaker 3: I was like, Gary, what in the world are you doing?
0:25
Speaker 2: Oh man, all right, well, let's start out with this.
0:28
Speaker 2: Uh Teresa's hometown date in New Jersey. Uh. It's a
0:32
Speaker 2: beautiful start to this episode. I absolutely love hometown dates
0:39
Speaker 2: on The Golden Bachelo. I didn't know I would because
0:43
Speaker 2: of the Green kids being involved, and also the kids
0:45
Speaker 2: being involved and the emotion that comes out of all
0:48
Speaker 2: of them. I think it is awesome.
0:51
Speaker 3: Nobody's tough though you did you notice that there was
0:54
Speaker 3: like no villainous characters trying.
0:57
Speaker 2: To get really say two years old?
1:00
Speaker 3: He's the adult here?
1:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, what are you gonna do? Be like, hey man,
1:04
Speaker 2: I don't think you're mature.
1:06
Speaker 3: Are you really ready for something serious? It's like, I
1:09
Speaker 3: don't know, you get oriented? Are you gonna want to
1:11
Speaker 3: hook up with all these ladies after you've become the Bachelor?
1:15
Speaker 2: I mean Yeah, there's no tough being needed, and I
1:17
Speaker 2: think it's a really beautiful piece too. To this, we'll
1:22
Speaker 2: kick it off again. We're in New Jersey with Teresa's family.
1:27
Speaker 2: I you know, have felt strongly about Teresa.
1:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, you really think Teresa is like gonna
1:32
Speaker 3: be here. I don't know. Again, I just I don't
1:35
Speaker 3: know what it is about Teresa. I just think that
1:37
Speaker 3: she's silly. She's just like she's like a little fairy,
1:40
Speaker 3: That's what she is. And she's like wearing this like
1:42
Speaker 3: little Sutton dress and I'm just like, just like a
1:45
Speaker 3: little fairy. She just she contrasts the other two of them,
1:49
Speaker 3: for sure, because the other two of them seems so
1:51
Speaker 3: similar and vibes to me Faith and Leslie.
1:54
Speaker 2: Well, and I think we see a little bit of
1:56
Speaker 2: that because I understand, I understand what you're saying. There
1:58
Speaker 2: is that level of Teresa where you're like, she feels
2:02
Speaker 2: at times maybe a little naive for being seven years old,
2:07
Speaker 2: a little a little like just happy to be there
2:11
Speaker 2: kind of feeling. However, I think we see that cleared up.
2:15
Speaker 2: And this is one of the reasons I like this
2:17
Speaker 2: week's hometown. When it comes to her daughter speaking about
2:19
Speaker 2: her mother, saying she just really is like the nicest person.
2:23
Speaker 2: Then we hear the grandkids say, Grandma's over all the time,
2:26
Speaker 2: she's a huge piece of our life.
2:29
Speaker 3: Yeah.
2:29
Speaker 2: I think Teresa is genuinely, down to her soul, just
2:34
Speaker 2: a really joy filled sweet human who, yes, maybe comes
2:40
Speaker 2: off like a little fairy like ooh, like I'm just
2:42
Speaker 2: happy to be here. However, I think there's a depth
2:46
Speaker 2: and I think a commitment to kindness and joy that
2:48
Speaker 2: she has that we're seeing based on what her family
2:52
Speaker 2: said about her, and I think that's beautiful.
2:56
Speaker 3: To be specific, Gary was talking to the grandkids and
3:00
Speaker 3: they say she comes over a lot because she's lonely,
3:03
Speaker 3: which is so sad. And then they say you should
3:07
Speaker 3: be the new papa for us. And then this daughter.
3:12
Speaker 3: I got emotional when the daughter was saying that, like
3:16
Speaker 3: it's not a replacement for my dad and that her
3:19
Speaker 3: really wanting this for her mom. And I was like,
3:22
Speaker 3: oh my god, could I ever feel that way? I
3:25
Speaker 3: don't know, it would be so I don't know. So
3:28
Speaker 3: I think it's like a testament. It's a testament to
3:32
Speaker 3: how much her mom is like happy with Gary.
3:35
Speaker 2: I mean, her daughter is magnificent in this the stuff
3:38
Speaker 2: that she says about her mom, and then you know
3:40
Speaker 2: what she said about her late father, and then also
3:45
Speaker 2: just her wisdom and being like, hey, you know, it's
3:47
Speaker 2: going to be sad to not see my mom here.
3:48
Speaker 2: She has to move, but I'm the child in this
3:51
Speaker 2: relationship still, and that's my mom and she has to
3:54
Speaker 2: do whatever she wants to do. I also think it's
3:57
Speaker 2: worth noting Teresa's comment to her sisters when she's like,
4:02
Speaker 2: I just I loved it. I just love the Golden
4:04
Speaker 2: Bachelor so much. She says, I'm competing them against a
4:09
Speaker 2: bunch of sixty year old and she's like insecure about it,
4:13
Speaker 2: and You're like, come on, I know at this point
4:16
Speaker 2: you're just all doing your best.
4:18
Speaker 3: The sisters are seriously so sold that she's on Cloud night.
4:22
Speaker 3: Cloud nine says she's found her guy, and I'm like,
4:26
Speaker 3: oh my god, this is like so intense because like
4:28
Speaker 3: it's not her guy yet.
4:30
Speaker 2: Well. I don't have a great comparison to this actually,
4:34
Speaker 2: but I do have people that I know who live
4:38
Speaker 2: in I'm not gonna say retirement community, yeah, retirement communities
4:41
Speaker 2: like fifteen over communities, right, that I know, and they've
4:45
Speaker 2: lost a spouse, and they are constantly dating. They're always
4:49
Speaker 2: going to like the happy hours and the cocktail parties
4:52
Speaker 2: and talking about what doctor so and so used to
4:54
Speaker 2: do and what he's been doing, and all these things
4:57
Speaker 2: are always said. And then every once in a while,
4:59
Speaker 2: you know, you get the comment like doctor so and
5:02
Speaker 2: so and I went to dinner last night at the
5:04
Speaker 2: local steakhouse or whatever. And there is never this like
5:09
Speaker 2: questioning these people are close to me in my life.
5:12
Speaker 2: There's never this questioning of like is he the right
5:14
Speaker 2: guy for you or not? It's just simply a cool
5:18
Speaker 2: you have companionship. Like I don't care what this dude
5:21
Speaker 2: is next to they saying, or like what he's communicating.
5:24
Speaker 2: I'm just happy now in your seventies and your eighties
5:27
Speaker 2: that you have somebody to go to dinner with. And
5:29
Speaker 2: that makes me thrilled. I don't know if her sisters
5:32
Speaker 2: have that as much of a like kind of a
5:36
Speaker 2: mentality of anything goes like I do when people tell
5:39
Speaker 2: me this, but I kind of I just don't question it,
5:42
Speaker 2: like I don't ask them.
5:44
Speaker 3: Is I think I think you're right? Yeah, that's also
5:49
Speaker 3: like with everybody else. And you know, I've said this
5:53
Speaker 3: last week. I just don't understand how they're falling in
5:56
Speaker 3: love so fast. I'm like, I don't feel you guys
5:59
Speaker 3: have hung out like nearly enough to feel this. Like
6:02
Speaker 3: I'm so confused because it just seems like so much
6:05
Speaker 3: less time on the actual Bachelor, And I'm like, you
6:07
Speaker 3: guys have gone on one date and you feel like
6:09
Speaker 3: you're in love already. I'm so I'm like, really, guys,
6:15
Speaker 3: really yeah fast.
6:18
Speaker 2: Well, I think it goes right back to what I
6:19
Speaker 2: was saying. I think at this point in your life,
6:21
Speaker 2: companionship is love. It's it's close, yeah, yeah, and it's
6:26
Speaker 2: and it's nice.
6:27
Speaker 3: Having somebody you want to hang out.
6:29
Speaker 2: With is love. Yeah. Having somebody that looks, you know,
6:31
Speaker 2: across the table at you and you can carry conversation with,
6:34
Speaker 2: or you can go to bed at night with and yeah,
6:37
Speaker 2: not have to say a word, and that you can
6:38
Speaker 2: wake up and maybe go to the pumpkin patch together
6:40
Speaker 2: and you both have a laugh or two. Like it
6:43
Speaker 2: looks different. You're not trying to raise a family together.
6:46
Speaker 2: You're not trying to you know, go through the issues
6:50
Speaker 2: when it comes to losing a job together. At this point,
6:53
Speaker 2: you're both have.
6:54
Speaker 3: To be perfectly compatible in those big life situations.
6:58
Speaker 2: You're just looking for a companion, and I think it's
7:00
Speaker 2: I think it's wonderful. So to close up Teresa's date
7:03
Speaker 2: because she is in or, I guess she was number
7:06
Speaker 2: one for me. She is the only one that Gary
7:09
Speaker 2: cannot say, I love you too. Mmm mmmm.
7:12
Speaker 3: He says, Oh, that's so special to hear thank you
7:15
Speaker 3: so much. It's just oh, that makes me feel so good. Yeah.
7:18
Speaker 3: So this, to me is the dead giveaway that she's
7:20
Speaker 3: the one that is not going to be picked at
7:22
Speaker 3: the Rost ceremony, which we have a teaser for, because
7:25
Speaker 3: he does not complete the Row ceremony. He only gives
7:28
Speaker 3: the rose to Leslie. So let's let's move on to Faith.
7:32
Speaker 3: So home down Faith is she kind of lives in
7:35
Speaker 3: the middle of nowhere, Washington State, and I don't I
7:39
Speaker 3: want to know, like, do have we ever talked about
7:41
Speaker 3: like what her marytal past has been, like was she
7:43
Speaker 3: ever was she ever married? Because we've never had her
7:47
Speaker 3: bring up an ex husband or so I don't remember.
7:51
Speaker 2: I don't, I don't remember, but no, I don't. I
7:54
Speaker 2: don't think.
7:54
Speaker 3: So we know she doesn't lost a husband, but she
7:57
Speaker 3: has two sons and they say that she falls very
8:01
Speaker 3: hard and fast, and they also say that she's that like.
8:07
Speaker 3: They ask him whether or not he's in love with her,
8:10
Speaker 3: and he's like pretty much. Yeah, he said yes here
8:14
Speaker 3: and that was another thing at Teresa's hometown he said
8:20
Speaker 3: when asked by the daughter, are you in love with
8:23
Speaker 3: my mom? He would go, he goes, I'm not really sure.
8:26
Speaker 3: I remember what that feeling. I don't really know if
8:29
Speaker 3: I can qualify this yet. Remember he was like, it
8:33
Speaker 3: was nineteen sixty something when I fell in love with
8:36
Speaker 3: my wife, and I'm not sure is this falling in
8:38
Speaker 3: love now? And then he was certain when it was
8:41
Speaker 3: with Faith. I just really I'm surprised that they made
8:44
Speaker 3: this a teaser because it didn't feel like it's a
8:47
Speaker 3: big cliffhanger to me, because it's just so obvious that
8:51
Speaker 3: it's between Leslie and Faith now, because those are the
8:55
Speaker 3: two that he was just like, yes, love, Yeah.
8:58
Speaker 2: If it's not between those too, then Gary has a
9:01
Speaker 2: lot of a lot of explaining.
9:06
Speaker 3: Yeah.
9:07
Speaker 2: You know. The Faith relationship has always been interesting in
9:10
Speaker 2: me because she did get the first impression Rose, and
9:12
Speaker 2: then we didn't really see a ton from her for
9:15
Speaker 2: a few weeks. Then we kind of saw her come
9:17
Speaker 2: back into the scene. I would say that the Leslie
9:21
Speaker 2: and Teresa relationship to Gary make I just know more
9:25
Speaker 2: about them than I do faith in Gary. It was
9:28
Speaker 2: shocking to me when I watched this episode and I
9:30
Speaker 2: saw him say that, and I saw him say that
9:33
Speaker 2: in front of the family.
9:35
Speaker 3: Mm hmm, oh, my gosh. Yes, because she looked at
9:38
Speaker 3: him and yeah, she gave him eyes, which they keep
9:42
Speaker 3: talking about these eyes that she gives him, and then
9:44
Speaker 3: he said I love you. Did he say hell with
9:46
Speaker 3: you first?
9:48
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, I think it was like
9:50
Speaker 2: kind of like simultaneously they were both like I love
9:53
Speaker 2: you and I love you, and it was in front
9:55
Speaker 2: of the family. This was a very intimate moment. It
9:58
Speaker 2: was probably the most intimate moment we I've seen ever
10:00
Speaker 2: on any bachelor show. I think, like, I don't remember
10:05
Speaker 2: a bachelor bachelorette couple going to hometowns and sitting in
10:08
Speaker 2: front of the family and looking at each other and
10:09
Speaker 2: being like I love you and I love you and
10:11
Speaker 2: kissing Like I don't remember this. Yeah, So this was
10:16
Speaker 2: a very intimate moment. I think holds a ton of weight,
10:20
Speaker 2: and I was shocked to see it. Because I didn't
10:22
Speaker 2: think we would see Gary say I love you to
10:24
Speaker 2: anybody until the very end. I had no expectation that
10:29
Speaker 2: he would drop the L word. Now, granted again, I'm
10:32
Speaker 2: not the one to criticize.
10:33
Speaker 3: It to be hard for him to fall in love
10:34
Speaker 3: after his wife.
10:35
Speaker 2: That's why I thought it. I just thought he was
10:37
Speaker 2: going to save it to the end and then be like, I,
10:40
Speaker 2: you know, I haven't said this in so long, and
10:42
Speaker 2: I know it's you know, I know, but he just like.
10:44
Speaker 3: Remember with Michael Aliol, we like didn't want him to
10:48
Speaker 3: say I love you until it was like him and
10:51
Speaker 3: whoever he was with, whether it was Danielle or Katie,
10:54
Speaker 3: because we were like, no, no, no, he hasn't said this
10:58
Speaker 3: since his wife passed. Got to reserve it. We got
11:01
Speaker 3: to wait a long time for it. Gary just loves,
11:05
Speaker 3: he loves.
11:06
Speaker 2: He's got to us in the anaboys, you got big hearts.
11:10
Speaker 3: He's probably the last bachelor who said I love you. Well, yeah,
11:13
Speaker 3: you didn't say to three people. Now he's say you
11:15
Speaker 3: to three people. Why does he get a pass and
11:17
Speaker 3: you like get cremated.
11:19
Speaker 2: Well, you know the funny part about that is, you
11:21
Speaker 2: know when I did it, and years later people have
11:25
Speaker 2: kind of given me the benefit of the down, like
11:27
Speaker 2: you were so young, like you just weren't mature yet.
11:29
Speaker 2: And I hate when people say that because who are
11:33
Speaker 2: they to say anything? But I've always like allowed it
11:36
Speaker 2: to be said because it like, yeah, that's a free pass.
11:38
Speaker 2: Like you can't be mad at me because I was
11:39
Speaker 2: twenty six years old and trying to figure life out.
11:43
Speaker 2: What are you gonna say about Gary?
11:44
Speaker 3: Like Gary is in a bubble of love right now,
11:49
Speaker 3: he has no idea what he's doing. This environment is
11:52
Speaker 3: very difficult for somebody whose age should navigate.
11:55
Speaker 2: I would say that's a bit. I would say, I
11:58
Speaker 2: wish people just said it was so hard to a gay.
12:00
Speaker 2: And Ben was feeling all sorts of emotions and hey,
12:03
Speaker 2: he had some great people at the end, and so
12:04
Speaker 2: of course he cared for all of them.
12:06
Speaker 3: Wait before we move on, we got to talk about
12:08
Speaker 3: moving places.
12:10
Speaker 2: So it's a big conversation.
12:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, because New Jersey girl Teresa's daughter was like,
12:16
Speaker 3: if she needs to move to be with him, I mean,
12:19
Speaker 3: sucks for me, but what am I supposed to do?
12:22
Speaker 3: And Faith right off the bat is like, hey, do
12:25
Speaker 3: you like the country, because, like I can't imagine not
12:28
Speaker 3: being around my sons. And if this were me, I'd
12:33
Speaker 3: be like, yeah, you're not taking my mom away from me.
12:36
Speaker 3: Can't do it.
12:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, what do I think about that? My response would be,
12:42
Speaker 2: I think that is a very quick way to dispel
12:50
Speaker 2: a conversation that should be being had between the two
12:53
Speaker 2: of you, because he obviously has kids and Grandkidso.
12:55
Speaker 3: That's what I mean, Like, it's not fair. Okay, you
12:57
Speaker 3: guys would have to go back and forth. That's what
12:59
Speaker 3: that's my thought, because you're right. He dismissed the conversation.
13:02
Speaker 3: He was like, if it's the two of us, we'll
13:05
Speaker 3: address it at another time. But it's like, actually, like
13:09
Speaker 3: probably should address it this early. You're not early right now?
13:12
Speaker 3: Your top three you probably need to talk about now.
13:15
Speaker 3: My solution would be like, you're gonna have to split
13:17
Speaker 3: your time. You're both retired, you should be able to
13:21
Speaker 3: or I don't know if she's retired, but yeah, especially
13:24
Speaker 3: with his lifestyle in Indiana, they should be able to
13:26
Speaker 3: go back and forth like a month or a month there.
13:28
Speaker 2: Who knows. Why is everybody trying to take people out
13:30
Speaker 2: of Indiana. It's a good state. Let us let us
13:32
Speaker 2: out there. Jeez, it ain't all bad. Rip Bobby Knight
13:38
Speaker 2: by the way, Oh yeah, I.
13:39
Speaker 3: Heard about that. I was thinking about you.
13:41
Speaker 2: Bobby Knight passed away this week. A legend in Indiana.
13:45
Speaker 2: Anybody that's lived in Indiana, most people lived in anywhere
13:48
Speaker 2: around the US know of Bobby Knight. What to take
13:50
Speaker 2: a second and say. He was a huge part of
13:52
Speaker 2: my childhood and he's one of the reasons I went
13:54
Speaker 2: to IU, and my life would never be the same
13:56
Speaker 2: without him. People call him complex, Sure you can do that,
14:01
Speaker 2: but he was a good coach and his legacy will
14:03
Speaker 2: live on forever in the hearts of US Hoosiers and
14:06
Speaker 2: including Gary's. I'm imagining because Gary likes sports. Who doesn't
14:10
Speaker 2: like sports? Final hometown this week, Ashley is Leslie's that's
14:24
Speaker 2: in Minnesota. Leslie reminds me of like a Victoria Fulish's
14:28
Speaker 2: not a villain, but she definitely stands out because of
14:32
Speaker 2: her energy and kind of her intrigues.
14:34
Speaker 3: Edgy, She's just edgy. She's not like, you know how,
14:39
Speaker 3: like you qualify. It's like, yes, this is what we do, Okay.
14:42
Speaker 3: It's like she beautiful, is she hot? She's sexy? She's sexy.
14:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, and like she definitely knows it about herself because
14:52
Speaker 2: of kind of how she introed into the season with.
14:55
Speaker 3: The Prince thing like we're like, okay, you sleve with Prince. Cool,
14:59
Speaker 3: Now you are a woman who's love with Prince. I'd
15:02
Speaker 3: be talking about that too. Yeah, everybody wanted to back
15:06
Speaker 3: in the day. So Leslie, you know, is a little
15:09
Speaker 3: more edgier. She's beautiful. She has never been married, No,
15:14
Speaker 3: she's been married twice, but she's never felt like she's
15:16
Speaker 3: had like a great like love companion, like a life companion.
15:20
Speaker 2: Well that makes sense based on kind of her story
15:23
Speaker 2: of her father passing, her brother helping raise her, and
15:26
Speaker 2: then her brother kind of which I thought was a
15:28
Speaker 2: great scene with Gary, her brother being like, you're nothing
15:31
Speaker 2: like the guy she usually dates, and this makes me
15:33
Speaker 2: so happy.
15:34
Speaker 3: They call them menscha's. He's a good person in their family,
15:37
Speaker 3: and yeah, I thought the brother was going to be
15:40
Speaker 3: our oh okay, here's our tough guy family move. But
15:43
Speaker 3: he wasn't. And I loved that he wasn't. He just
15:47
Speaker 3: welcomed Gary in.
15:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was beautiful. Gary did ask for the brother's permission,
15:56
Speaker 2: which is a big deal. We see that obviously during
16:00
Speaker 2: The Bachelor every time or during The Bachelor at every time,
16:05
Speaker 2: but we hadn't seen it yet on the Golden bachel.
16:08
Speaker 3: Because there was a father figure here. He was a
16:10
Speaker 3: father figure and the other ones didn't have that.
16:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, so a very traditional thing kept up by Gary
16:17
Speaker 2: and the show. It's very you know, we see something
16:20
Speaker 2: traditional happen where he does ask for the permission, the
16:22
Speaker 2: brother grants it to him. I don't think he would stop,
16:25
Speaker 2: you know, stop him from that. This this couple has
16:31
Speaker 2: legs to me. If it wasn't Teresa, it's Leslie in
16:34
Speaker 2: my mind, because I don't know what Gary's looking for
16:38
Speaker 2: in that companion and that love interest later on, but
16:40
Speaker 2: I do know that Leslie would offer him. I think
16:43
Speaker 2: the joy that we've seen Gary kind of be attracted
16:46
Speaker 2: to the adventure that Gary is obviously still attracted to
16:50
Speaker 2: the energy that Gary maybe too much energy, and it
16:55
Speaker 2: feels I don't know, I wonder if there's something inside
16:58
Speaker 2: of Gary that's like I could be the first good
17:00
Speaker 2: man to enter into her life romantically, and that excites
17:03
Speaker 2: me mm.
17:03
Speaker 3: Hmm, yeah, totally. It's also cute when the grand the
17:06
Speaker 3: kids say, do you actually I think they call her grandma,
17:09
Speaker 3: which is dorble, Do you actually love my grandma? Are
17:12
Speaker 3: you an actual couple? Really cute? And that, of course
17:16
Speaker 3: starts the love thing. Is he gonna say it? What's
17:18
Speaker 3: he gonna do? And then he does it in a
17:20
Speaker 3: private moment when they walk out of the family time
17:24
Speaker 3: and he just he says like, I love you, I
17:28
Speaker 3: love you, So now we have two full I love you.
17:32
Speaker 2: I was shocked the first time, I was floored the
17:34
Speaker 2: second time. I don't know where Gary's going to go
17:37
Speaker 2: from here. All I can assume is this, and I
17:39
Speaker 2: wish I wish the same thing for myself. I'm going
17:43
Speaker 2: to assume that Gary feels this way about these two women,
17:47
Speaker 2: that he means what he's saying, and that he might
17:49
Speaker 2: be in love with three women right now.
17:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he didn't say even though he kind of
17:53
Speaker 3: admits that he is in love with with Teresa afterward,
17:57
Speaker 3: he still didn't say it to her, And I wonder
18:00
Speaker 3: if the hometown order is accurate.
18:01
Speaker 2: My assumption is that he feels this way, feels very strongly,
18:06
Speaker 2: and this is what I hope we all realize and
18:09
Speaker 2: start to understand that it is possible to feel really
18:12
Speaker 2: strongly about multip people one time, and that we also
18:16
Speaker 2: start to show some empathy for those on this show
18:19
Speaker 2: who feel that way and start to understand how just
18:23
Speaker 2: difficult getting rid of somebody you care that much about is.
18:28
Speaker 2: It does not feel right, it does not feel good,
18:33
Speaker 2: and in Gary's case, I think it could even be
18:36
Speaker 2: heightened because he hasn't felt it in so long, and
18:41
Speaker 2: that you see that emotion coming out of him, and
18:44
Speaker 2: you see how hard it was for him to even
18:45
Speaker 2: get to this point. And I personally am watching this
18:49
Speaker 2: now and edge of my seat, Florida shocked that he
18:51
Speaker 2: said it, but also my immediate thought went to Gary,
18:55
Speaker 2: what in the world are you gonna do? Now? Like who?
18:57
Speaker 2: Kind of like Jess's famous comment every week is Who's
19:00
Speaker 2: taking care of Gary?
19:05
Speaker 3: I don't know. We see him get out of the
19:08
Speaker 3: the limo and hear whatever the suv and you're just
19:11
Speaker 3: know he's not prepared for this rose ceremony to the
19:15
Speaker 3: point where now we see he gives out the rose
19:17
Speaker 3: to Leslie, which again I thought it was weird that
19:20
Speaker 3: they didn't give the row. I thought that he would
19:23
Speaker 3: give a rose to Faith and that it would be
19:26
Speaker 3: a tie between Leslie and Theresa that would be the
19:30
Speaker 3: cliffhanger because I do. I feel like Faith is number one.
19:33
Speaker 3: I think it's so strange that you don't think that
19:36
Speaker 3: I don't know. Ask do you know things? And like
19:39
Speaker 3: you know things, you know things more than I do.
19:41
Speaker 3: So now I'm like looking at you for spoilers.
19:43
Speaker 2: No, I don't know any spoilers.
19:45
Speaker 3: No way, you do not know anything because like you
19:48
Speaker 3: kind of know Gary a little bit more. When is
19:50
Speaker 3: it coming on the podcast?
19:51
Speaker 2: I know exactly what he said in interviews, which is
19:54
Speaker 2: that he's happy and so he ends up with somebody,
19:56
Speaker 2: and you didn't. I mean, I think going into the sweek,
19:59
Speaker 2: Teresa was my number one. I think coming out of
20:01
Speaker 2: this week, I don't think I could say that any
20:02
Speaker 2: longer because of the lack of emotion and confidence that
20:06
Speaker 2: he showed in that relationship. I think that Faith would
20:09
Speaker 2: probably come above Teresa for me. Okay, now the Leslie thing,
20:13
Speaker 2: I don't know what to do with. I don't again,
20:15
Speaker 2: That's why I said I don't know what to do
20:16
Speaker 2: with the Leslie relationship because I thought Teresa would still
20:18
Speaker 2: go above Leslie. But yet Leslie has the rose interesting
20:23
Speaker 2: peace during the Bachelor when you're asked to be the bachelor.
20:27
Speaker 2: You're asked not to leave Rose ceremonies, Like you're like,
20:30
Speaker 2: it's just hard for them because all the cameras are
20:32
Speaker 2: set up.
20:32
Speaker 3: Thanks for the reveal. Yeah, so many years into this.
20:37
Speaker 2: It just doesn't happen very often because it's hard because
20:39
Speaker 2: the cameras are on like tripods, they're locked in, and
20:43
Speaker 2: so when you leave.
20:44
Speaker 3: We saw that one guy run over, we would already
20:48
Speaker 3: have a camera, yeah, because guys, there are so many
20:52
Speaker 3: cameras at Row ceremonies and they're all reserved for the
20:55
Speaker 3: Row ceremony. There's like nobody hanging out like getting footed
20:58
Speaker 3: to the kitchen. So that's why we saw the one
21:01
Speaker 3: cameraman run over.
21:03
Speaker 2: So that's why when I saw this, I'm like, this,
21:04
Speaker 2: poor dude, literally Gary, and I think I did it
21:07
Speaker 2: once where you're so overwhelmed with emotion and you can't
21:10
Speaker 2: you don't want to be in that room, like something
21:12
Speaker 2: just washed over me, where I was like I don't
21:14
Speaker 2: want to be here any longer, like I can't, I
21:16
Speaker 2: don't like doing this. I have to do it, but
21:18
Speaker 2: I'm not ready to do it, And you just like
21:20
Speaker 2: leave to get a breath of fresh air or something
21:23
Speaker 2: And here's the cool other cool part when you do it,
21:26
Speaker 2: like all the producers are in some room like outside
21:29
Speaker 2: in the garage, and the camera guys are all locked
21:32
Speaker 2: in on the cameras, and so when you walk away,
21:35
Speaker 2: it's like the first time in months the year standing
21:38
Speaker 2: alone in a room, which feels really one second, but sure,
21:42
Speaker 2: but that split second is magical. Yeah, you healing in
21:46
Speaker 2: your health. So Gary's obviously over. Poor guy, He's.
21:50
Speaker 3: Gonna throw up looking at two women. Either one of
21:54
Speaker 3: them could be the partner, my partner for the rest
21:57
Speaker 3: of my life. Like, I really think that he would
21:59
Speaker 3: be almost happy with all three of them right now.
22:02
Speaker 3: And it's just like it's not picking some moving out
22:05
Speaker 3: of a hat, but it's somewhere close.
22:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's somewhere close with him. I think
22:10
Speaker 2: for him, he's now weighing way notes. I kind of
22:16
Speaker 2: wish ash that with the Golden Bachelor, maybe they would
22:19
Speaker 2: have made hometowns and Fantasy Suites one straight week before.
22:23
Speaker 3: Then that way he would have like extra time, and
22:26
Speaker 3: that way fantasy suites would give him the like intimate, quiet,
22:30
Speaker 3: private time to help make this decision easier for him.
22:35
Speaker 2: I agree, Yeah, that's what I was, because then they
22:37
Speaker 2: still get down to two for the final row ceremony. Yeah,
22:40
Speaker 2: and it can still be two weeks episodes. But I
22:42
Speaker 2: do wish he had a little bit more time because going.
22:46
Speaker 3: With just the family is gonna be even more It's
22:49
Speaker 3: just so emotional because he's just like going off of
22:51
Speaker 3: the experience of the family. If he had another like date, yeah,
22:57
Speaker 3: vibes wise, it would be different.
23:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, because then you know, you would kind of get
23:02
Speaker 2: on the same track then as the other shows where
23:04
Speaker 2: you're down to three still for the fantasy suites, two
23:08
Speaker 2: for the final you know, two weeks. Yeah, but we
23:11
Speaker 2: give the benefit of the doubt for the Bachelor and Bachelorette,
23:14
Speaker 2: where they can have three overnights and oftentimes you can
23:17
Speaker 2: hear when you maybe talk privately with the leads. The
23:19
Speaker 2: overnights are like the deciding factor. Hometowns are a big deal,
23:22
Speaker 2: but once you get behind closed doors, then you get
23:24
Speaker 2: to ask maybe more intimate questions, you know the person,
23:27
Speaker 2: like kind of like let's loose a little bit. You
23:29
Speaker 2: see what your chemistry is when nobody's forcing you to talk.
23:33
Speaker 2: And I think that's going to be a hard part
23:35
Speaker 2: of the Golden is where we're asking them to get
23:37
Speaker 2: down to the final two. And we've seen it with
23:39
Speaker 2: Gary already. He loves the three of them and it's
23:43
Speaker 2: and so he could use more time. And I think
23:45
Speaker 2: this would be one of those scenarios that we could
23:47
Speaker 2: give him more time.
23:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, good thought. We don't hear him say this right
23:51
Speaker 3: now that he this is the hardest choice that he's
23:54
Speaker 3: had to make, or like this is the most heart
23:56
Speaker 3: wrenching and awful thing he's experienced since his wife dying.
24:00
Speaker 3: But that's coming, and that could even be the final
24:03
Speaker 3: I would say that's probably the finale. The quote from
24:06
Speaker 3: the finale, which is just like mind blowing.
24:08
Speaker 2: I think it's still during this really, I think Jesse
24:11
Speaker 2: comes down. But you got to imagine at this point,
24:13
Speaker 2: Jesse is like probably out of his suit. Well no,
24:17
Speaker 2: because he has to come back to say this is
24:18
Speaker 2: the final row.
24:19
Speaker 3: Jis probably has no idea how to handle this with
24:21
Speaker 3: an elder.
24:22
Speaker 2: No, he's I can't imagine how he's learning as he
24:26
Speaker 2: goes here. Emotional week. Actually, I did want to mention
24:38
Speaker 2: that I did shed a lot of tears this week,
24:41
Speaker 2: and I don't do that all the time. I've done
24:42
Speaker 2: a lot more during The Golden Bachelor, mostly during the
24:45
Speaker 2: grand kids segments. I think it was really cute, and
24:47
Speaker 2: I also definitely did when Teresa's daughter was talking about
24:51
Speaker 2: her late father.
24:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was the moment where I was like, oh,
24:54
Speaker 3: I'm willing yeah.
24:55
Speaker 2: For as much benefit as the show has brought me
24:59
Speaker 2: in terms of watching TV, and as much joy as
25:03
Speaker 2: I've had watching these people pursue relationships, I think over
25:07
Speaker 2: the last maybe week up until this week, it has
25:10
Speaker 2: started to like feel a little bit too intimate to
25:13
Speaker 2: me where my mind goes to my family, and I
25:19
Speaker 2: hadn't had that happen yet.
25:21
Speaker 3: It was when the daughter was talking that I imagine my
25:23
Speaker 3: dad gone.
25:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it just it's not you know that that's
25:27
Speaker 2: I guess it's probably healthy and it's not a bad
25:31
Speaker 2: thing to.
25:31
Speaker 3: Have my parents dying too often to need this.
25:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just a weird place, you know. You don't
25:37
Speaker 2: want to lose them. They're good people, all of we've
25:40
Speaker 2: been lucky. But that's where I got emotional. Wish the
25:44
Speaker 2: best for Gary. Poor dude is in it, and I
25:46
Speaker 2: hope all of us listening understand how much he's in it.
25:49
Speaker 2: This is not made for TV. Gary is not a
25:52
Speaker 2: paid actor, He has no experience on television before. He
25:56
Speaker 2: is trying to find love and so are these amazing
25:59
Speaker 2: women that are are with him. This is going to
26:01
Speaker 2: be a very emotional last few weeks of The Golden Bachelor, Ashley,
26:07
Speaker 2: to close out, I do have a little insider information. Okay, yes,
26:14
Speaker 2: I don't think the franchise has decided if they're going
26:18
Speaker 2: to do another Golden or not.
26:19
Speaker 3: What do you mean, like, that's so dumb of them.
26:22
Speaker 2: Well that's what I thought. But how mad would we
26:26
Speaker 2: be if all of a sudden like this show comes
26:29
Speaker 2: and goes and we never hear about it again.
26:33
Speaker 3: Of course there would be outrage.
26:35
Speaker 2: So let's appreciate the last few weeks of this season.
26:38
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm not worried. They just haven't like green led
26:42
Speaker 3: it yet, but it's obviously going to happen.
26:44
Speaker 2: I sure hope. So it's been so great. Well, next
26:48
Speaker 2: week we'll be back breaking down another episode of The
26:49
Speaker 2: Golden Bachelor. It's been a wild ride, a really fun ride.
26:53
Speaker 2: We can't wait to continue to talk about it. We
26:55
Speaker 2: wish the best for everybody involved. But until next week,
26:58
Speaker 2: I've been been.
27:00
Speaker 3: See you guys. We'll be back with good stories next week. Bye.
