- 0:00Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I almost famous podcast
- 0:03Speaker 1: with on our radio. Hey guys, it's Ashley. I was
- 0:09Speaker 1: just waiting there for Ben to say, Hey, what's up,
- 0:11Speaker 1: and I was like, Oh, that's on me right now.
- 0:15Speaker 1: Ben will be joining us later on the show, but
- 0:17Speaker 1: right now I have Rachel Lindsay on to talk about
- 0:22Speaker 1: this episode Fantasy Suites. Rachel, Hello, Hello, how are you doing.
- 0:30Speaker 1: I'm good. I know. I feel like we've already analyzed
- 0:35Speaker 1: these guys together. If you guys didn't know, Um, Rachel
- 0:38Speaker 1: and I were on access um the YouTube channel last
- 0:42Speaker 1: week and we really grilled the guys when it came
- 0:45Speaker 1: to hometowns. So I'm glad. You're always a good conversationalist
- 0:49Speaker 1: when it comes to the stuff and and basically everything
- 0:52Speaker 1: in life. So I'm glad to have you here breakdown
- 0:55Speaker 1: this episode with me as well. Okay, Blake was the
- 0:58Speaker 1: first guy out there and they weren't allowed to kiss
- 1:02Speaker 1: or touch. Did you even't have one of those dates?
- 1:05Speaker 1: Did you? What? No? Yeah? Yeah, I think there was
- 1:09Speaker 1: a fantasy suite and I don't want to say which
- 1:11Speaker 1: which episode it was. I think it may have been
- 1:14Speaker 1: from Jojo season or Ben season, and they couldn't kiss
- 1:17Speaker 1: or touch because there was somewhere where it was forbidden.
- 1:20Speaker 1: Oh my god, can you imagine miss Brian and I
- 1:23Speaker 1: had that, we probably wouldn't be here today. Do you
- 1:28Speaker 1: think you would be almost good? Because we create sexual tension,
- 1:33Speaker 1: would create sexual ny. It's actually kind of a really
- 1:36Speaker 1: good idea because it's going to make for a good fantasy.
- 1:39Speaker 1: I would actually that could be really good. You don't
- 1:44Speaker 1: touch until dinner time, and then at dinner time you
- 1:46Speaker 1: get to hold hands and peck a little bit, and
- 1:49Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, learning to the room and
- 1:51Speaker 1: it's like, boom, I haven't touched you in literally two
- 1:53Speaker 1: and a half weeks. Because you know, hometowns, there's a
- 1:56Speaker 1: big gap in that. Yeah, Rachel, only you would know
- 2:00Speaker 1: between the two of us how much time is between
- 2:03Speaker 1: hometowns and fantasy suits. So let her everybody, it's about
- 2:09Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. See mine was a little weird because
- 2:11Speaker 1: remember we spent time in Dallas before we actually went
- 2:15Speaker 1: to the fantasy suits because my sister couldn't travel. Because yeah,
- 2:21Speaker 1: it's about between the hometowns, I stay like a week
- 2:25Speaker 1: and a half two weeks, okay, so about ten days.
- 2:28Speaker 1: I think that's what Blake was. Yeah, it's it's it's
- 2:31Speaker 1: a long time and then you see each other and
- 2:33Speaker 1: you can't touch. Oh my gosh, I would be frustrated.
- 2:36Speaker 1: I was like, get it over with. The theme with
- 2:41Speaker 1: Blake is that he is just worried that his feelings
- 2:45Speaker 1: are deep, but he doesn't know if the other guys
- 2:48Speaker 1: feelings are the same. You know, He's just like I
- 2:51Speaker 1: can't imagine that they feel this way. There's no way
- 2:53Speaker 1: that they feel this way. And I know that Blake
- 2:56Speaker 1: is your favorite, right, Why is that intimate? It? Well,
- 3:00Speaker 1: it will because this is a setting to me, this behavior,
- 3:03Speaker 1: because it's like a downward spiral, like you cannot focus
- 3:07Speaker 1: on the other man, you have to focus on the lead.
- 3:10Speaker 1: Otherwise he's been out of control. But he's my favorite.
- 3:13Speaker 1: Like it's because I feel like his chemistry just sweeps
- 3:17Speaker 1: through the TV. Rebecca, like there's this instant bart you
- 3:20Speaker 1: can tell they're really into each other and it's so natural,
- 3:25Speaker 1: like they've known each other for such a long time.
- 3:27Speaker 1: That's what it looks, right, totally, there's a passion between
- 3:30Speaker 1: them and even a communication between them that I don't
- 3:33Speaker 1: think she has with the other guys. Yeah, yeah, I mean,
- 3:38Speaker 1: I I don't know. I just like it. I'm I'm
- 3:44Speaker 1: a person he does, but he also gives off like
- 3:48Speaker 1: obsessive vibe sometimes. Would that be a turn off for you? Okay,
- 3:54Speaker 1: maybe this is where the logical side is coming in,
- 3:56Speaker 1: but I still like, how can you not be that
- 4:00Speaker 1: way in that environment? But that can't be all perfect
- 4:04Speaker 1: because that was like a worry for me with Brian,
- 4:06Speaker 1: It's like, how are you so positive? This is the
- 4:08Speaker 1: craziest way to date someone. It's natural to me for
- 4:12Speaker 1: Seed to see somebody crack a little bit, right, like,
- 4:15Speaker 1: So that's I guess that's how I look at it.
- 4:17Speaker 1: But I also seen along with Blake, So maybe I'm
- 4:20Speaker 1: maybe I have a problem. No, I actually think you're
- 4:23Speaker 1: opening my eyes to that, because sometimes I watch Blake
- 4:25Speaker 1: and I'm like, Blake, jeez, can you calm down. You're
- 4:27Speaker 1: so anxious. You're making me nervous watching you. But then again,
- 4:31Speaker 1: I know that I am usually Blake like, I'm just
- 4:33Speaker 1: that nervous person, So I'm the last person to say
- 4:36Speaker 1: something like that. And then You're right, it's almost like
- 4:41Speaker 1: a red flag if they're not freaking out just a bit. Yeah,
- 4:45Speaker 1: I mean he really likes her, and that's what I
- 4:48Speaker 1: get from it. He doesn't want to lose her, and
- 4:51Speaker 1: that's the only thing that I see when I see
- 4:53Speaker 1: him breakdown. Now, this episode is bothering me a bit.
- 4:57Speaker 1: I feel like it's it's a downwards I don't know.
- 5:00Speaker 1: That's what I'm afraid of at this point. Okay, I'm
- 5:03Speaker 1: afraid that if he isn't the last one standing, that
- 5:06Speaker 1: he's going to lose his freaking mind. He says that
- 5:09Speaker 1: he's never been in love like this before, even the
- 5:12Speaker 1: last relationship where his parents were honestly like concerned, like
- 5:17Speaker 1: we should probably send this guy to get some help. Point,
- 5:22Speaker 1: he says he loves Becka even more than he loved
- 5:24Speaker 1: that girl. Could I first day that I thought you
- 5:28Speaker 1: were going to say, I'm afraid if Blake isn't the
- 5:31Speaker 1: last one standing, Rachel, that you're going to have a breakdown.
- 5:34Speaker 1: That's my thought. No, I've changed my worded it was
- 5:39Speaker 1: going to be a little less PC. No. I promise
- 5:43Speaker 1: I'll be okay, But you're right. Actually, do you bring
- 5:45Speaker 1: up a really good point? Oh no, I totally forgot
- 5:48Speaker 1: what his parents said, and the parents put you best.
- 5:52Speaker 1: That could have been like Oh yeah, he is. I
- 5:57Speaker 1: think about that. I'm truly concerned learned about him. If
- 6:01Speaker 1: he doesn't get picked, I am to now, Well, we
- 6:04Speaker 1: know that it's between Garrett and Blake, and it's just interesting.
- 6:07Speaker 1: Garrett to me, very sweet, nice guy. Doesn't seem to
- 6:12Speaker 1: be as much depth there as Blake. But maybe it's
- 6:17Speaker 1: just because he's just naturally more lighthearted and fluffy. Fluffy
- 6:23Speaker 1: is the perfect word, and I'm going to start using
- 6:25Speaker 1: it now. Oh God, give you all the credit, because
- 6:27Speaker 1: when it came out of my mouth, I was like
- 6:29Speaker 1: fluffy to describe Garrett. Mr Manley Man. Nope, I get it,
- 6:33Speaker 1: because he's still light and free and that bothers them.
- 6:37Speaker 1: So that's perfect. I'll give you the credit for that
- 6:39Speaker 1: if I use it going on. It's okay. It's hard
- 6:43Speaker 1: for me to watch at this point, right because I
- 6:46Speaker 1: know how my season went, and I know how the
- 6:48Speaker 1: finale is, and I know when it gets down to
- 6:51Speaker 1: this last two, the last two, how hard it is.
- 6:53Speaker 1: And I have come out and said, you did not
- 6:56Speaker 1: get to see the y the fine. That's my biggest
- 6:58Speaker 1: regret in this whole thing. You didn't get to see
- 7:00Speaker 1: what the essence of Brian Oh okay. Yeah, So I
- 7:03Speaker 1: think it's almost repeating itself because I'm like, of these
- 7:08Speaker 1: two guys, we've seen way more depth with Blake, Like
- 7:12Speaker 1: I guess we saw more depth with Peter, And then
- 7:16Speaker 1: you're like, why can't there be more focused on the
- 7:19Speaker 1: other guy's depth? Yeah? No, And that's what I'm trying
- 7:24Speaker 1: to watch it as a viewer and not as somebody
- 7:26Speaker 1: who's been through the experience. So I get pulled both
- 7:29Speaker 1: ways because as the viewer, it's Blake going through the experience.
- 7:34Speaker 1: I'm sure there's more to get it. I'm sure it's
- 7:37Speaker 1: not all bluff, you know. I'm sure there's some depth there,
- 7:41Speaker 1: but we don't see it. Let us into your more
- 7:44Speaker 1: of your frustrations about that, how you didn't get to
- 7:46Speaker 1: see the essence of Brian. Yeah, I mean, I feel like,
- 7:50Speaker 1: but when you saw Brian and I, you saw a
- 7:53Speaker 1: lot of making out, and we did do that. I'm
- 7:55Speaker 1: not going to deny it, right, but it makes that up,
- 7:58Speaker 1: But you didn't see army, meanful conversations. I remember these first.
- 8:02Speaker 1: One of the first conversations I had with Brian, he
- 8:04Speaker 1: told me how his parents have been together for thirty
- 8:06Speaker 1: nine years. His dad had cancer very early on, and
- 8:10Speaker 1: how his mom stuck with him, and how he had
- 8:12Speaker 1: three children before, and I just learned how much family
- 8:15Speaker 1: meant to him. That was one of our first conversations.
- 8:17Speaker 1: I never saw that. So we really were building something,
- 8:21Speaker 1: and I understood why the audience saw Brian a certain way,
- 8:26Speaker 1: but I hated that they couldn't trust that I had
- 8:30Speaker 1: the whole story and you had two hours a week
- 8:33Speaker 1: of these these people. I almost the care first. Why
- 8:37Speaker 1: do you think they do it like that? I just
- 8:40Speaker 1: think that if this obvious maybe who like you're more
- 8:44Speaker 1: in the one person than another, then that's not good TV.
- 8:47Speaker 1: You know. I think that you need to you need
- 8:50Speaker 1: to have more of a dynamic relationship with multiple people,
- 8:53Speaker 1: and especially if there's nothing, there's nothing going on, like
- 8:56Speaker 1: Brian and I had no drama, then that's not some
- 8:59Speaker 1: good TV. Nobody wants to watch that. You have to
- 9:01Speaker 1: create something. So I guess that's that's the thing. Like
- 9:04Speaker 1: Blake is giving her so much concern each week, and
- 9:08Speaker 1: that's better TV than Blake? Who who Garrett? That's just like, Oh,
- 9:12Speaker 1: I'm good, I'm confident. Let's do this thing. Let's do
- 9:15Speaker 1: the bad thing that hurt that in a while, just
- 9:20Speaker 1: everything just rolls off. Garretts back right like, oh you
- 9:22Speaker 1: know there are other men here who cares whatever. I like,
- 9:26Speaker 1: there's like nothing. I don't know, has he frowned, want
- 9:33Speaker 1: anything other than that smile? So I guess there's there's
- 9:37Speaker 1: two times where thinking Garrett wasn't just like fluffy, And
- 9:41Speaker 1: that was with Chris Are when Chris R Was all
- 9:45Speaker 1: concerned about not getting time in Vegas on the group
- 9:48Speaker 1: date and that Garrett me too, I want more of
- 9:52Speaker 1: that Garrett. I was like, that's the Garrett we've been
- 9:56Speaker 1: looking for. I wrote like a whole thing about it. Now.
- 9:59Speaker 1: I really liked him. What was the other time? The
- 10:02Speaker 1: other time is actually when we were then when they
- 10:05Speaker 1: were talking about Calton's virginity, he like actually was like,
- 10:08Speaker 1: I'm not sure if that's something that she's gonna be
- 10:11Speaker 1: okay with going into an engagement. That's oh yeah, I
- 10:16Speaker 1: guess I forgot about that part too. See, Okay, maybe
- 10:18Speaker 1: that's the side the beck of thing that we don't
- 10:21Speaker 1: really get to see. I kind of like the man upside.
- 10:26Speaker 1: Yeah I do too, But I feel like whatever decision
- 10:29Speaker 1: she makes at the end, you know, I definitely want
- 10:33Speaker 1: people to be supportive about it and not you know, like,
- 10:37Speaker 1: for example, if she doesn't choose Blake, I'm not going
- 10:40Speaker 1: to criticize back for her decision because she made the
- 10:43Speaker 1: best decision for herself. So I hope that people give
- 10:45Speaker 1: her that same respect because I didn't get it, and
- 10:48Speaker 1: so I just wish upon her that you trust the
- 10:51Speaker 1: decision that she may. I completely agree what you went
- 10:56Speaker 1: through was obnoxious. Yeah, moving on, that's good. You know,
- 11:04Speaker 1: I think that Jared and I always say the same thing.
- 11:06Speaker 1: It's it's like if we could go back in time
- 11:09Speaker 1: and he acted on certain feelings at certain times where
- 11:13Speaker 1: he didn't actually do that, we wonder if we would
- 11:17Speaker 1: be as strong as we work today. So we are
- 11:19Speaker 1: happy we went through it all in the long run.
- 11:22Speaker 1: Completely agree. Let's see, Okay, let's talk about Jason for
- 11:25Speaker 1: a second, because we know poor Jason left, and I
- 11:28Speaker 1: think he's a fantastic Bachelor candidate. I think, you know,
- 11:34Speaker 1: he's like suave, He's like that guy who's gonna actually
- 11:37Speaker 1: he's gonna make the girls go crazy. I think I
- 11:39Speaker 1: don't think Blake or Garrett wouldn't necessarily make the girls
- 11:42Speaker 1: go insane, but I think Jason has that sexual aura,
- 11:46Speaker 1: that little like I'm not gonna come at you, you
- 11:50Speaker 1: need to come to me. I'm not so easy to
- 11:53Speaker 1: get aura. But that's WoT and I agree with you.
- 11:59Speaker 1: And the hair is really the key behind it. Different
- 12:05Speaker 1: we would describe him that way. There's about that hair.
- 12:10Speaker 1: I completely agree. If you just want to put like
- 12:13Speaker 1: some hairsprayer, some gel in there and like have some spikes.
- 12:16Speaker 1: You know, if if you were to have the Jared
- 12:18Speaker 1: or Brian hair, he wouldn't have that a war Is
- 12:23Speaker 1: that weird just say about our fiances. I probably see it, Okay?
- 12:28Speaker 1: Is that sliped magmilovent Amelia hair? Totally totally see it.
- 12:34Speaker 1: I was just thinking about him being a good bathroom
- 12:36Speaker 1: I just we just need He's going to have to
- 12:39Speaker 1: open up more. To be a good lead. You have
- 12:42Speaker 1: to let yourself go mm hmmm. And and he's to
- 12:48Speaker 1: put together because I feel like I was. I was
- 12:50Speaker 1: like more put together during next season and then I
- 12:52Speaker 1: was a little bit more let go as the best
- 12:54Speaker 1: threat sore to him. We've seen him opening up a
- 12:58Speaker 1: lot more in the past two weeks. He gave her
- 13:00Speaker 1: the photo album of all their times with friends and
- 13:04Speaker 1: the stuff that we didn't necessarily see on TV. That
- 13:07Speaker 1: was so cute, and he wanted her to know just
- 13:12Speaker 1: how deep his love was, even if he didn't say
- 13:16Speaker 1: it all the time. It was really sweet. Now she
- 13:19Speaker 1: cut him off before Fantasy Sweets. She she, you know,
- 13:22Speaker 1: let him go at dinner. And I asked him this
- 13:25Speaker 1: the other day at mentell all I go. Would you
- 13:28Speaker 1: have rather gone into the fantasy suite and had that
- 13:33Speaker 1: time and then be honestly dumbed the next day? Or
- 13:36Speaker 1: would you have preferred the way it went where he
- 13:39Speaker 1: didn't have that intimate private time And he said he
- 13:44Speaker 1: would have rather had the fantasy suite and been broken
- 13:46Speaker 1: up with afterward. Of course, I'm glad he was honest
- 13:50Speaker 1: about that. Me too. Anybody else who says otherwise would
- 13:54Speaker 1: be like, that makes me more Yeah, so he could
- 14:01Speaker 1: have more time with her, because it really is different
- 14:04Speaker 1: when you have that time off camera. What did did
- 14:08Speaker 1: you have a fantasy see with Eric? Yeah? You did?
- 14:10Speaker 1: I did? I did. And I think it's just it
- 14:13Speaker 1: feels the difficulty that hasn't already because you to ask
- 14:17Speaker 1: all those good, juicy questions. You can stay up all
- 14:20Speaker 1: night and talk, you know, and I just like after
- 14:24Speaker 1: each one, I knew what was up. So for him,
- 14:28Speaker 1: I think it's kind of like seeing it through because
- 14:31Speaker 1: he's probably like, man, I didn't even get that chance.
- 14:34Speaker 1: I bet there were things he wanted to tell her
- 14:36Speaker 1: that he hadn't told her yet because he thought he
- 14:37Speaker 1: could do it in a fantasy suite. I think you
- 14:41Speaker 1: definitely give him the time. I think it's almost more
- 14:43Speaker 1: hurtful and more frustrating, and they leave with less of
- 14:47Speaker 1: a feeling of closure if you dump them before the
- 14:50Speaker 1: fantasy suite. Now, if you really don't think that you're
- 14:53Speaker 1: going to end up with this person in the end,
- 14:55Speaker 1: then you know, don't sleep with them just talking the
- 14:58Speaker 1: fantasy suite, right, She didn't have to sleep with them.
- 15:02Speaker 1: I just feel like it was like, I don't want
- 15:05Speaker 1: to spend any alone time with you. That's how I
- 15:09Speaker 1: read it, because you don't have to sleep with them,
- 15:12Speaker 1: And maybe maybe she didn't want the impression to look
- 15:15Speaker 1: like that because people always assume that that could be
- 15:18Speaker 1: to you. Absolutely don't. I don't sleep with everybody in
- 15:22Speaker 1: a fantasy sleep. You have to do that. You really
- 15:25Speaker 1: can't just talk and get to know the other person.
- 15:28Speaker 1: And I feel like I don't know, but if I'm
- 15:32Speaker 1: being positive, it's yes, she wanted to send him home
- 15:34Speaker 1: before UM, before Fantasy Sleep because she didn't want to
- 15:38Speaker 1: get his post up. If I'm being negative, she did
- 15:40Speaker 1: not want to spend me a long time with them.
- 15:43Speaker 1: Could be I think she just has a guilty conscience
- 15:45Speaker 1: coming off are where she really really doesn't want to
- 15:47Speaker 1: lead anyone on. That's good, even though it's inevitable, right,
- 15:52Speaker 1: because that's the whole game. That's the whole game. I
- 15:56Speaker 1: knew before Fantasy Sleep to what I was going to do,
- 16:00Speaker 1: and I still you still have to keep people along
- 16:04Speaker 1: each week, so you're always leading someone on until the
- 16:07Speaker 1: very end, and give two people that proposed to you.
- 16:11Speaker 1: You're always leading someone on. How does that great on you?
- 16:14Speaker 1: I could not. It's hard. I mean, that's why you
- 16:20Speaker 1: see people break down in the end, because even though
- 16:23Speaker 1: you know this isn't a person for me at this point,
- 16:26Speaker 1: you've grown close to them in some way, whether you
- 16:28Speaker 1: see them as a friend or as a boyfriend or
- 16:31Speaker 1: for your future. There's some type of connection there and
- 16:35Speaker 1: you don't want to hurt their feelings because this person
- 16:37Speaker 1: is pouring their soul to you. In your mind, You're like,
- 16:40Speaker 1: you're not the one, but you have to keep it
- 16:42Speaker 1: going for purpose of the show. It's hard, hard, So
- 16:46Speaker 1: I understand her breakdown. Before we get been on the phone,
- 16:50Speaker 1: let's talk about sleeping together in the fantasy suite. So
- 16:53Speaker 1: I have this thing, I have this this made up
- 16:56Speaker 1: stat that I think like it leads east thirty five
- 17:02Speaker 1: of people don't sleep together in the fantasy suite. I
- 17:06Speaker 1: would say it's higher than that. I probably I usually
- 17:09Speaker 1: say fifty, but I'm really trying to be realistic now,
- 17:11Speaker 1: So between fifty and thirty five, yeah, I say fifty. Okay, great, Yeah,
- 17:21Speaker 1: I might be even higher than that. I know. There
- 17:25Speaker 1: is just this huge assumption, and I get it. I'm watching.
- 17:29Speaker 1: You haven't had been with someone for weeks. You you know,
- 17:32Speaker 1: you're drinking whatever. There's obviously this physical attraction with the
- 17:36Speaker 1: other person. So of course you assume that that's what
- 17:39Speaker 1: happened when you go behind the closed doors. My parents say, so,
- 17:44Speaker 1: you know, I get it. But more likely than that,
- 17:47Speaker 1: nont you just tired and happy to have a good
- 17:51Speaker 1: night's sleep. I know it's such a better night's sleep
- 17:54Speaker 1: than usual too. For some reason. All right, let's get
- 18:00Speaker 1: bet On the line. But first, let's talk about one
- 18:04Speaker 1: of my favorite places to shop these days. I actually
- 18:08Speaker 1: got a boatload of clothes for less than two hundred dollars.
- 18:12Speaker 1: Like I'm talking like eight outfits for two d dollars
- 18:16Speaker 1: from thread up recently. Thread up is the largest online

- 20:25Speaker 1: the girl you battled in lipsing Battle on Thursday night,
- 20:29Speaker 1: is on the line. She beat you, dude, she beat
- 20:32Speaker 1: you at what's up Rachel? So before we get into this,
- 20:38Speaker 1: I need to ask actually her. Yeah I watched it, Ben,
- 20:40Speaker 1: I was there. Good point. Oh yeah, that's a good point.
- 20:44Speaker 1: You were there. Um, I tell you what it's been
- 20:48Speaker 1: as Rachel stepped on stage, and I knew even from
- 20:50Speaker 1: the beginning that the odds were against me. Um, And so,
- 20:54Speaker 1: like I said, I knew I had two options. I
- 20:55Speaker 1: wasn't gonna dance better, but I could do the most
- 20:59Speaker 1: outrageous thing to try to get the crowd vote. And
- 21:01Speaker 1: I still don't even do that. So I locked in
- 21:03Speaker 1: all in all aspects. I actually have to disagree with you,
- 21:08Speaker 1: Ben when you call me maybe okay, I thought a
- 21:13Speaker 1: minute publicly yet, but I thought that was the most
- 21:17Speaker 1: genius song to do. And I feel like the didn't
- 21:21Speaker 1: capture how into it everyone was, because I remember sitting
- 21:26Speaker 1: back watching like, oh my gosh, I thought he was perfect,
- 21:32Speaker 1: crawling on the floor, dropping it like it's hot. I
- 21:36Speaker 1: thought you did really, really well. I was absolutely nervous.
- 21:42Speaker 1: I will have to say this, Ben, probably one round
- 21:45Speaker 1: one and you Rachel one round two, and usually round
- 21:49Speaker 1: two is what really gets you to win. You know what,
- 21:57Speaker 1: Wearing makeup is a big pain because trying to get
- 22:00Speaker 1: your face for it. Yeah, it's really bad. Even makeup
- 22:05Speaker 1: remover wipe don't usually do the job. I use baby
- 22:08Speaker 1: oil when I wear as much I make up as
- 22:10Speaker 1: you did that day. Maybe maybe you'll appreciate our struggle
- 22:15Speaker 1: and what we have to do to look beautiful. Come
- 22:17Speaker 1: here on it. I get it now. I will tell you, Rachel,
- 22:21Speaker 1: that was one of the most fun things I have
- 22:23Speaker 1: done post Bachelor. Bachelor is let's think battle. I had
- 22:28Speaker 1: an absolute last that day. I did too know. That
- 22:31Speaker 1: was like a dream for me. I mean, I do
- 22:33Speaker 1: that at home, So it was nice that I've been
- 22:36Speaker 1: preparing for this my whole life. That is amazing. You
- 22:43Speaker 1: guys did a great job. Just one more thing about makeup, Rachel,
- 22:47Speaker 1: Are you with me in this? It's totally off topic,
- 22:49Speaker 1: but think I'm just thinking, and you know, just a
- 22:51Speaker 1: day dream right now about how much I hate removing
- 22:53Speaker 1: my makeup. I delay going to bed a solid hour
- 22:58Speaker 1: each day because I'm put off taking off my makeup
- 23:01Speaker 1: and washing my face. Okay, I'm with you, but I
- 23:06Speaker 1: just fall asleep with the makeup on. You do. I
- 23:09Speaker 1: don't want to do it. Yeah, I know it's bad.
- 23:12Speaker 1: I like a lot of times I fall asleep with
- 23:14Speaker 1: my makeup on because I don't want to do that.
- 23:17Speaker 1: It's worse. It's girls underrated, biggest first world problem. Yeah,
- 23:23Speaker 1: it's almost it's painful. I give myself like three days
- 23:28Speaker 1: a year to fall asleep with my makeup on. I'm like,
- 23:30Speaker 1: I am this tired. I'm gonna do it today. I've
- 23:38Speaker 1: I've got I've got total respect for you, both for
- 23:40Speaker 1: any for any woman out there, or mail. I mean,
- 23:43Speaker 1: I I like the eyeliner. I thought I thought I
- 23:46Speaker 1: could rock that every day. I love guyeliner. Yeah, it's
- 23:49Speaker 1: a good thing, and it kind of brought out brought
- 23:52Speaker 1: out my eye last Ben face right now. Ben loves
- 23:57Speaker 1: his eyelashes. He uses a curler. Now he uses Oh no,
- 24:01Speaker 1: you use a spooly. Yeah, let's not say curly. Let's
- 24:04Speaker 1: not go overboard here. I use one of those. Is
- 24:06Speaker 1: that what I called it? Will you brush him out? Yeah?
- 24:09Speaker 1: It feels good. Yeah, I mean, long eyelashes on a
- 24:13Speaker 1: guy or are very attractive, so y I wear them
- 24:16Speaker 1: called Jared's eyelashes. They're the most beautiful thing ever I
- 24:18Speaker 1: think about creating my own eyelash line and calling it
- 24:23Speaker 1: the Jared, or at least one style called the Jared
- 24:26Speaker 1: because he's got the most beautiful eyelashes. We should do that,
- 24:29Speaker 1: you guys, we are really off topic and weird right now.
- 24:34Speaker 1: Let's get back to Jason for a second, and I
- 24:36Speaker 1: have a question for both of you. Jason made a
- 24:40Speaker 1: comment Tobecca about the future together and she knew that
- 24:44Speaker 1: her future wasn't with him at that point, and it
- 24:47Speaker 1: freaked him out. Did you guys experience similar things? Are
- 24:57Speaker 1: you both just so sounded that you have no idea?
- 25:00Speaker 1: Say no, I was gonna wait for rachel response. You know, yeah,
- 25:09Speaker 1: of course, you know. Actually here's the here's the secret,
- 25:11Speaker 1: and maybe Rachel, I don't know if you agree disagree.
- 25:14Speaker 1: Coming from Becca's side, there's more times than not that
- 25:19Speaker 1: I'm in that situation where you're in this process, you're
- 25:23Speaker 1: trying to discover these new relationships you're working through. Um,
- 25:29Speaker 1: you know, getting to note the person you're working through.
- 25:31Speaker 1: If this person right, you're not. You might have really
- 25:33Speaker 1: strong feelings for somebody else, but yet you know that
- 25:36Speaker 1: there's a certain amount of people that you kind of
- 25:38Speaker 1: have to keep around, and so you kind of have
- 25:42Speaker 1: to tiptoe around these relationships all the time. I remember
- 25:44Speaker 1: like fitting in bed at night thinking, okay, like what's
- 25:47Speaker 1: the necessary evil. Do I get rid of this person
- 25:49Speaker 1: because I maybe have a strong relationship with them, um
- 25:53Speaker 1: or I don't have a stronger as a relationship with them,
- 25:55Speaker 1: Or do I get rid of this person? But yet
- 25:56Speaker 1: there may be a good trend to me and they're
- 25:58Speaker 1: easy to be around, Like, even though you might not
- 26:00Speaker 1: see a future with them, especially at the beginning, you
- 26:03Speaker 1: kind of just keep people around, at least I did,
- 26:05Speaker 1: because they're easy to hang out with and they're fun
- 26:07Speaker 1: to hang out with. Um. I mean I feel like
- 26:11Speaker 1: that's why Nick kept me around because I was, Yeah,
- 26:13Speaker 1: we were cool with each other. That's That's what I've
- 26:16Speaker 1: come to to realize as as I did my own season. Yeah,
- 26:20Speaker 1: I agree with that, but I don't think I told
- 26:23Speaker 1: anybody that the same way that Becca told Jason. Don't
- 26:28Speaker 1: if I was like that out right with it. M Yeah,
- 26:32Speaker 1: I mean I'm wondering, Rachel, even like hearing from you here,
- 26:35Speaker 1: like Rebecca was very direct, uh, And I think for
- 26:39Speaker 1: me in life, I was never I had a struggle
- 26:43Speaker 1: being very direct in relationships, especially when it comes to
- 26:45Speaker 1: break up with the positives, and even when you're in
- 26:48Speaker 1: a relationship and you know it's not the you know,
- 26:49Speaker 1: the conversation is going to break you apart. I could,
- 26:51Speaker 1: you know, talk honestly and ultimately, But when it comes
- 26:53Speaker 1: to that like breakup moment, I always kind of skirted
- 26:56Speaker 1: around it or I had, you know, in college, I
- 26:59Speaker 1: would do the typical ghosting thing where you know, you
- 27:02Speaker 1: just disappear, because that that hard conversation when this show
- 27:06Speaker 1: there there in this process, I became really good at
- 27:09Speaker 1: the direct breakup because you have to you have to
- 27:12Speaker 1: you have to allow the person to respect to say
- 27:14Speaker 1: this is why this is no longer working for me,
- 27:17Speaker 1: And I felt like that was a good practice to
- 27:19Speaker 1: get into. And so I can see where Becca at
- 27:22Speaker 1: this point in the process is really prepared to be
- 27:25Speaker 1: that honest and open with Jason. Did you feel that way? Um? Well,
- 27:31Speaker 1: I'm pretty direct naturally, maybe a little too direct. So
- 27:36Speaker 1: I found it easier to be that way in the beginning,
- 27:39Speaker 1: But as it got towards the end, especially the top three, Um,
- 27:44Speaker 1: it was harder for me because I was really trying
- 27:46Speaker 1: to be sensitive to their needs, and I feel like
- 27:49Speaker 1: when you get to the top three, everybody feels like
- 27:51Speaker 1: they could be the one. So I was direct, but
- 27:55Speaker 1: I was a lot fofter with it, um a lot
- 27:58Speaker 1: more gentle then I wouldn't normally be. How frustrating is it?
- 28:04Speaker 1: Do you know who you're going to pick and then
- 28:07Speaker 1: still have to entertain other people? That's hard. I mean,
- 28:13Speaker 1: I don't, she said, I knew. I really knew in Geneva,
- 28:20Speaker 1: which was week seven, but I didn't say anything. When
- 28:23Speaker 1: I was during hometown, I turned to Brian's producer and
- 28:27Speaker 1: I said, Brian the one, and I walked away, and
- 28:30Speaker 1: that's how I said it, like I didn't say anything else,
- 28:33Speaker 1: and I think I just took her by surprise. I
- 28:35Speaker 1: don't think she really believed me. But I turned her
- 28:38Speaker 1: and I said that right after hometown, and and I
- 28:41Speaker 1: hope I said I love you in Spanish, and then
- 28:44Speaker 1: I told the producers that it really means I like you.
- 28:49Speaker 1: I like you. Oh my gosh, that's so great because
- 28:53Speaker 1: I was going to ask you when you told the
- 28:55Speaker 1: producers that, because that's when I feel like it's real.
- 28:59Speaker 1: It's documents, I told I told my producer after Fantasy Suite,
- 29:04Speaker 1: I told his producer at hometown. Then after Fantasy Suite,
- 29:09Speaker 1: you knew M Yeah, Um, it was interesting. Mine is different.
- 29:20Speaker 1: You know when I think I've scared this on the
- 29:22Speaker 1: podcast but it's been a while. But you know, week
- 29:25Speaker 1: one Lauren like I I might jaw dropped, But this
- 29:30Speaker 1: show really helped me out because they're like, there's still
- 29:32Speaker 1: a lot to get to know about Lauren, there's still
- 29:33Speaker 1: a lot to get to know about these other women.
- 29:35Speaker 1: And so I was like, you know, when you're on
- 29:37Speaker 1: this though, you're always kind of waiting for that next
- 29:40Speaker 1: big thing that's gonna like shock you or surprise you
- 29:43Speaker 1: or throw you off. And so I thought the whole time, like, oh,
- 29:47Speaker 1: something's gonna happen that's gonna totally throw my relationship off.
- 29:50Speaker 1: I'm not gonna like this woman anymore. She's too good
- 29:52Speaker 1: to be to that kind of thing. And the show
- 29:54Speaker 1: definitely helped me feel that way to keep me going
- 29:57Speaker 1: thro the whole process. It was not until I not
- 30:00Speaker 1: kidding you, it was not until probably after the Fantasy
- 30:03Speaker 1: Suits that I finally just took a deep breath and
- 30:05Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, I've actually got something good here.
- 30:08Speaker 1: I was kind of on guard through the whole process,
- 30:12Speaker 1: just waiting for that next shocking revelation of oh, this
- 30:16Speaker 1: isn't the person for me. Never came. It never came.
- 30:21Speaker 1: I but it was the one thing that got me
- 30:23Speaker 1: through because if if not, if if that wouldn't have
- 30:27Speaker 1: been in the back of my head, there's no way
- 30:29Speaker 1: I could have done the whole show. There's no way
- 30:30Speaker 1: I could have like perpetuated relationships, continue, get to know people,
- 30:34Speaker 1: continue to converse with people, because I would have felt
- 30:37Speaker 1: so guilty the whole time knowing that, oh my future
- 30:39Speaker 1: fiance is in this room and I'm dating somebody else.
- 30:42Speaker 1: I could have never gotten through it. So it was
- 30:44Speaker 1: that idea of something shocking is going to happen, that's
- 30:48Speaker 1: going to change my mind that kept me going Interesting.
- 30:51Speaker 1: That is interesting because I have a question for you. Actually,
- 30:54Speaker 1: So for me, the second date told me everything. That's
- 30:59Speaker 1: why I slave Geneva and I don't. I'm curious if
- 31:02Speaker 1: if you thought that I was actually back and forth
- 31:06Speaker 1: until I gave those second days in Geneva, and when
- 31:09Speaker 1: I went on those those three one on ones, I
- 31:12Speaker 1: knew it was shocking for me because I knew everything
- 31:16Speaker 1: I needed to know. About those three people, and that's
- 31:19Speaker 1: what made up my mind. Isn't it crazy? Two days
- 31:22Speaker 1: and you feel like you know everything? And now I
- 31:24Speaker 1: mean the first don't do uh? I think it was.
- 31:27Speaker 1: I think it was the first, that first initial interaction
- 31:30Speaker 1: that made me go, oh, this is something really good.
- 31:33Speaker 1: My second day was something that that made me feel
- 31:36Speaker 1: I don't want to leave this person. But then at
- 31:39Speaker 1: that point too, my heart had started to open up
- 31:41Speaker 1: to a couple of other relationships and they had started
- 31:43Speaker 1: performed because I allowed it to happen. And so that's
- 31:46Speaker 1: when my like mine kind of got off balance. Was
- 31:48Speaker 1: I thought I had something really great. But then it
- 31:50Speaker 1: has been six weeks in between my first day and
- 31:53Speaker 1: my second day with Lauren, and so in that time
- 31:55Speaker 1: I had built other relationships that had kind of maybe
- 31:59Speaker 1: caught up to that first interaction with Warren, and and
- 32:02Speaker 1: so then from that point forward, it was all right,
- 32:04Speaker 1: let's get serious, let's start really diving into this relationship.
- 32:08Speaker 1: Is this real or that not? But I'm with you. Yeah.
- 32:10Speaker 1: I really felt like after that second day, I knew
- 32:14Speaker 1: even more that this was going to end in an engagement,
- 32:18Speaker 1: but for me, because that's how much I felt you guys. Yeah,
- 32:25Speaker 1: I don't know how you have strong feelings for multiple
- 32:29Speaker 1: people at the same time. Explain to me, I think, yeah,
- 32:38Speaker 1: did you? Yeah? I thought I wasn't going to like anyone,
- 32:43Speaker 1: and then I found myself really struggling with I remember,
- 32:47Speaker 1: there were six people, and then there were four people,
- 32:49Speaker 1: and then there were two people that like I had
- 32:52Speaker 1: like strong feelings for, but I knew. I guess there's
- 32:55Speaker 1: the thing asked the answer question, I had strong feelings
- 32:58Speaker 1: for multiple people, not the strongest. Maybe maybe that's what
- 33:04Speaker 1: you felt with more like I knew, I knew that
- 33:08Speaker 1: there was one that was separated from the other. By
- 33:10Speaker 1: this time, I had finished my dates, but still strong feelings.
- 33:14Speaker 1: But that's necessarily a future. I remember thinking several of
- 33:18Speaker 1: these people could have been my boyfriend, but that's as
- 33:21Speaker 1: far as Okay, I guess. I guess I can see
- 33:24Speaker 1: that where you can have crushes on a couple of
- 33:27Speaker 1: people but know that one person is yours for life.
- 33:31Speaker 1: M M, yeah, I definitely crush a lot. Okay, Yeah,
- 33:34Speaker 1: that boy, there's a listing battle song. I know that.
- 33:44Speaker 1: You know girl? Yeah that girlfriend. Idea for me was like, yeah,
- 33:46Speaker 1: these I could definitely date these people. But this isn't
- 33:49Speaker 1: my forever person. But and the more and more people
- 33:52Speaker 1: I talked to, you know, becas came out publicly and
- 33:55Speaker 1: said it. I know Nick had these feelings. I've known
- 33:58Speaker 1: A you know obviously obviously are A had strong feelings
- 34:00Speaker 1: for multiple people. Um, the it happens more and more
- 34:04Speaker 1: when you put yourself in this experience. And I think
- 34:06Speaker 1: it's because people are so beautifully complex and this is
- 34:11Speaker 1: one of the only environments that you get to explore
- 34:13Speaker 1: that complexity while at the same time knowing that you're
- 34:16Speaker 1: on a path to spend a life with somebody possibly
- 34:19Speaker 1: and so you're very much it's like romantic love stricken mindset,
- 34:24Speaker 1: and I can see where you open your heart up
- 34:27Speaker 1: enough magic can happen, I mean real magic. And so yeah,
- 34:31Speaker 1: in the real life, maybe like it's harder to fall
- 34:34Speaker 1: from multiple people, but in this environment, you're opening yourself up,
- 34:38Speaker 1: you're hoping you fall for somebody in general, and then
- 34:42Speaker 1: all of a sudden you find yourself falling for multiple people.
- 34:45Speaker 1: And for me and I it was almost a blessing
- 34:48Speaker 1: that I felt for multiple people because I was so
- 34:51Speaker 1: nervous that wasn't gonna fall right same on did Brian
- 34:57Speaker 1: watch your season every a minute? And he was? And
- 35:02Speaker 1: how many fights did that bring? Only? Okay, so it
- 35:07Speaker 1: really didn't. I ridiculously under understanding. You know, he's a
- 35:12Speaker 1: Garret m So I after the show was over with,
- 35:18Speaker 1: I mean, the day after, I told him everything, everything
- 35:23Speaker 1: that I could possibly think of, everything that I thought
- 35:25Speaker 1: that would bother him or that he would have a
- 35:27Speaker 1: problem with. I told him that's the type of person
- 35:31Speaker 1: he is. He wants to know absolutely everything. But I
- 35:35Speaker 1: kind of was like Ben, I didn't think I was
- 35:37Speaker 1: gonna fall for anybody, and then when I did, I
- 35:40Speaker 1: almost think that that's better because I can say that
- 35:44Speaker 1: I picked you. It's not like you were the only
- 35:46Speaker 1: one there. I didn't like anybody, and then it was
- 35:48Speaker 1: just you. I truly opened myself up to what could happen,
- 35:52Speaker 1: and I still fell in love with you. And I
- 35:54Speaker 1: think that that's more special. That's beautiful. Thank you that
- 36:01Speaker 1: it's true. Though that's really hard. That's a really nice
- 36:04Speaker 1: way of looking at it. I think people need to
- 36:06Speaker 1: hear thanks you always you always had. I mean, I
- 36:13Speaker 1: think one of the things that you did best was
- 36:14Speaker 1: you kept a very cool and collected um, you know,
- 36:20Speaker 1: mindset through this whole experience, and even though you know,
- 36:23Speaker 1: you definitely had some great guys, at the end, I
- 36:26Speaker 1: really felt like Brian could walk off this show confident
- 36:30Speaker 1: that you picked the person that you wanted and that
- 36:32Speaker 1: you knew you were in love with. And so the season,
- 36:36Speaker 1: I think that Brian had every right to be, you know,
- 36:39Speaker 1: obviously a little jealous of times it could he could
- 36:41Speaker 1: feel a little insecure. That that makes sense, but I
- 36:44Speaker 1: really did think you did a good job and something
- 36:46Speaker 1: that I did fail at perpetuating this confidence in him
- 36:50Speaker 1: as your partner. Thing, No, you are the person I want. Well, well,
- 36:54Speaker 1: thank you for that. And I think that that that
- 36:57Speaker 1: you saw that come out in the finale, which is
- 37:00Speaker 1: why people were so hard on me, because I wasn't
- 37:04Speaker 1: empathetic or even sympathetic to what was going on with
- 37:07Speaker 1: Peter because I had a relationship to protect and it
- 37:11Speaker 1: wasn't that it was just kind of like that happened
- 37:12Speaker 1: three months ago. In this last three months, I've been
- 37:15Speaker 1: building this relationship with my fiance and I want to
- 37:17Speaker 1: honor it, and so I'm trying to tell you guys
- 37:19Speaker 1: my truth. But it came across a little bit more
- 37:22Speaker 1: harsh than I wanted it to. But I was really
- 37:24Speaker 1: just trying to protect what I have and be honest
- 37:27Speaker 1: about some of the things people didn't see M Because
- 37:31Speaker 1: to me, I'd rather, I'd rather, you know, protect my
- 37:35Speaker 1: fiance and then keep the image that everybody wanted me
- 37:39Speaker 1: to have, so that that relationship was more important to
- 37:41Speaker 1: me to protect than the one with everyone else. M lindsay.
- 37:47Speaker 1: I was gonna let you go, but then I thought,
- 37:48Speaker 1: I want to look at your talk about I want

- 39:53Speaker 1: speaking of wedding photos, Lindsay, Lindsay, when are you get
- 39:57Speaker 1: to change that name? Oh? You know, I used to
- 40:01Speaker 1: think I've never changed my name, and now I'm like,
- 40:03Speaker 1: I absolutely would. Um, I'm a woman here, but brand
- 40:07Speaker 1: new woman. This show will change you. Let me tell you, Rachel,
- 40:20Speaker 1: that's nice. Yes, yes, I think it's it's a nice
- 40:24Speaker 1: last day. Are you so sick of people asking when
- 40:27Speaker 1: you're going to do this? Because it's so unbelievable. How
- 40:31Speaker 1: Jared and I got engaged five weeks ago and people
- 40:34Speaker 1: are constantly asking us if we have a date yet.
- 40:36Speaker 1: I'm like, what, we have a general time frame, but
- 40:40Speaker 1: an actual date. No, we haven't got a venue shopping
- 40:43Speaker 1: in the past month. Yeah oh no, wait, wait a
- 40:47Speaker 1: couple of more weeks and I'll start asking you about babies.
- 40:49Speaker 1: Just wait, just Ben, did you get the same Oh
- 40:55Speaker 1: my god? Yeah, I think it's just like I don't
- 40:59Speaker 1: think that you neque to the bactor factory. I think
- 41:02Speaker 1: that's his life. I hear my friends who get engaged
- 41:04Speaker 1: and as soon as they get get as soon as
- 41:06Speaker 1: you really start dating somebody. I think the fourth two months,
- 41:08Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you know some people you side
- 41:11Speaker 1: and go all right, when you're getting engaged, great, So
- 41:15Speaker 1: that step happens, you get engaged, and as soon as
- 41:17Speaker 1: you get engaged, then the next question, as soon as
- 41:19Speaker 1: it happens is Wednesday day. You don't have time to breathe,
- 41:22Speaker 1: and then you know, here's here's the greatest part about it.
- 41:25Speaker 1: Once you set your date and then wedding happens, then
- 41:27Speaker 1: as Rachel said, then it's babies. And so it's like
- 41:30Speaker 1: there's just never this constant, like there's never a contentment or.
- 41:34Speaker 1: And this is why two years ago I like to
- 41:36Speaker 1: pick a word for every year and like say, like
- 41:40Speaker 1: use that word in my life for the year because
- 41:41Speaker 1: I feel like that's what God's telling me to do.
- 41:43Speaker 1: And and two years ago, when I was still with Lauren,
- 41:46Speaker 1: it was deliberate that word was celebrate because I felt
- 41:49Speaker 1: like it was such a constant grind and a constant
- 41:52Speaker 1: what's next, that there was never the moment for us
- 41:54Speaker 1: to celebrate. And I think as people, we need to
- 41:56Speaker 1: start celebrating those huge accomplishments like actually you're in love,
- 42:01Speaker 1: you found your person, celebrate that, like, stop looking for
- 42:04Speaker 1: whatever is next. Yeah, now I wish I wish people
- 42:09Speaker 1: could just celebrate what we have and maybe I'll start
- 42:13Speaker 1: using that as well. I'm gonna say that's my good friend.
- 42:15Speaker 1: Bi Higgins says, why don't you just celebrate that we
- 42:19Speaker 1: found each other and what we have because you want
- 42:25Speaker 1: to save her the time in between all the logistical
- 42:28Speaker 1: planning of a wedding. Yeah, let me enjoy this. I
- 42:32Speaker 1: will get to that in another month. No. Yeah, So
- 42:38Speaker 1: the answering your question, I mean, it's the same thing
- 42:41Speaker 1: that I said, you know what I want here before
- 42:43Speaker 1: you know, we would of course we would love to
- 42:45Speaker 1: tell us weddings. Don't know if that's gonna happen or
- 42:47Speaker 1: if it's It could be that that take too all
- 42:50Speaker 1: because I don't want to wait, you know, another year
- 42:54Speaker 1: to get married. So it could be that just a
- 42:57Speaker 1: sit in our time frame to like, like you have
- 42:59Speaker 1: wung for yourself. I'm hoping about the spring, to be honest,
- 43:02Speaker 1: I think it's a small on TV. It's going to
- 43:04Speaker 1: be a destination wedding, Okay, So to me, a small
- 43:06Speaker 1: wedding that you get probably throw together in nine months
- 43:10Speaker 1: or less, Okay, Okay, I want to do it all
- 43:15Speaker 1: for me. That's part of the beauty of the show.
- 43:17Speaker 1: I don't want to plan it. No, I'm not planning
- 43:20Speaker 1: my own. I mean, I doesn't need to be on
- 43:21Speaker 1: TV for it to be not planned by me. So
- 43:28Speaker 1: I asked you that because I know what you said
- 43:30Speaker 1: two months ago when you were on the show that
- 43:32Speaker 1: you know would be open to a televised wedding Jared,
- 43:35Speaker 1: and I don't want to rely on that. I only
- 43:37Speaker 1: even think it's very likely at this point. So I'm
- 43:41Speaker 1: going to really start planning next month. Um. That's basically
- 43:46Speaker 1: my question for you, was were you going to hold
- 43:48Speaker 1: out for it or were you just gonna really start
- 43:50Speaker 1: thinking about it on your own. No, I'm definitely not
- 43:53Speaker 1: going to hold out for it, Like I don't want
- 43:55Speaker 1: to wait another here to get married. Um. But the
- 44:00Speaker 1: same time, I like, things are just being so crazy
- 44:03Speaker 1: and I know you're gonna run in a stay, so
- 44:04Speaker 1: I haven't even started. I never saw I wayls planned
- 44:07Speaker 1: for a wedding. I thought I was going to a
- 44:08Speaker 1: court out. I'm a couple agrees degrees above the courthouse
- 44:12Speaker 1: at this point. But I want somebody to do it
- 44:14Speaker 1: for me. In a destination sore at a destination that
- 44:19Speaker 1: I have started looking at a dress though, and I've
- 44:22Speaker 1: and I've switched over to address a compromise, and I
- 44:24Speaker 1: was compromised that I really have started planning that and
- 44:28Speaker 1: narrowing down what country we would want it in. It's
- 44:32Speaker 1: it's destination. Would you ever do it in Spain? Where
- 44:35Speaker 1: you guys got engaged? I know, I think we've done Spain. Like,
- 44:40Speaker 1: I really liked the idea of Columbia because um, Brian
- 44:45Speaker 1: is Columbian and still has family there, so I like
- 44:47Speaker 1: that it would have a cultural meaning to it that's
- 44:51Speaker 1: important to me and most people I know. On my side,
- 44:54Speaker 1: I have never been to Columbia, so I think it
- 44:55Speaker 1: would be nice for them to go to Rachel can
- 44:59Speaker 1: I can I offer you something? Please? Generous? The coffee
- 45:05Speaker 1: company that I operate has some incredible coffee farms in
- 45:08Speaker 1: Columbia that I would love for you to get married at.
- 45:10Speaker 1: Oh my god, this is great putting out there. I
- 45:14Speaker 1: can't wait to celebrate at one of them. That's great.
- 45:23Speaker 1: Um well, I'm good friends also rating with the real
- 45:26Speaker 1: Hi Wine people who did your final episode, and they've
- 45:30Speaker 1: been trying to convince me that Spain. Okay, So so
- 45:34Speaker 1: if you ever do go to Spain for your way,
- 45:36Speaker 1: which I know that you just said you probably wouldn't,
- 45:38Speaker 1: I would love and invite to even be like your photographer,
- 45:41Speaker 1: so I could just visit this winery you have to
- 45:44Speaker 1: go though, Okay, maybe maybe we will. It is actually gorgeous,
- 45:48Speaker 1: not as easy to get to, but it is beautiful
- 45:52Speaker 1: you have and the people are great. This this wedding
- 45:58Speaker 1: talk is really sweet from both of you. I think
- 46:00Speaker 1: I think this is why I was really want to
- 46:02Speaker 1: hear like and I know that we just talked about Hey,
- 46:05Speaker 1: they're always moving forward, there's never that contentment. But I
- 46:08Speaker 1: think our listeners just really want to, Hey, here we
- 46:11Speaker 1: go again, celebrate with the both of you. I get
- 46:14Speaker 1: it all the time in my emails and on Twitter.
- 46:17Speaker 1: I our listeners really just want to and I think
- 46:20Speaker 1: that's why this show is continue to be successful even
- 46:23Speaker 1: is they just really want to see a love story
- 46:24Speaker 1: play out to the end. And Rachel, I don't want
- 46:27Speaker 1: to put any pressure on you, but I really think
- 46:30Speaker 1: that from the moment that you and Brian walked off
- 46:32Speaker 1: the show and people saw you in public for the
- 46:34Speaker 1: first time, they thought this is it. This is the
- 46:37Speaker 1: love story that's going to play out to the end?
- 46:39Speaker 1: Can can? I don't want I don't want you to
- 46:41Speaker 1: dispose too much and not to get too personal. But
- 46:43Speaker 1: are people going to be able to see your love
- 46:45Speaker 1: story playouts the end? Oh? Yeah, wait, you mean like
- 46:50Speaker 1: on TV? And I don't know's going on TV? Just
- 46:53Speaker 1: in life like and just in line. Yeah, Like I
- 46:56Speaker 1: tell people like we're going together for fifteen much and
- 46:59Speaker 1: that's thirty three and thirty eight, like we know, we
- 47:02Speaker 1: know at this point, and so you definitely still be
- 47:06Speaker 1: in It's it's really nice. It's really refreshing. And that's
- 47:09Speaker 1: what I feel like. We're like we've been o gs
- 47:11Speaker 1: in the game. It's who's only the fisme up from
- 47:13Speaker 1: Chitl and Sean definitely have a speat, but we're just like,
- 47:17Speaker 1: in that time, what was the right time, right place
- 47:21Speaker 1: for us to me And it was just it's something
- 47:25Speaker 1: I never thought that could happen. So we're excrafinitely it's
- 47:29Speaker 1: the real deal. Well, I'm telling you, Rachel, we're all
- 47:32Speaker 1: happy for you. Rachel. I know I came on late here.
- 47:35Speaker 1: I am at an event for Generous in denver Um
- 47:39Speaker 1: and so I'm running around like crazy, but I had
- 47:41Speaker 1: to talk to you. Congratulations on a big win with

- 47:47Speaker 1: am competitive. I hate to lose, like really really hate

- 47:53Speaker 1: I walked away that night and I said, I just

- 48:21Speaker 1: Rachel's been sleeping in the same sheets as Brian. She
- 48:23Speaker 1: said that Fantasy Suite was when she knew, so I
- 48:28Speaker 1: wonder what led her to that belief. Maybe it was
- 48:30Speaker 1: what they were sleeping on, and it just was what
- 48:33Speaker 1: they were sleeping on. I bet they were sleeping on
- 48:36Speaker 1: Bull and brand Actually you're sleeping on Bull and Branch

- 50:23Speaker 1: talk about what you're doing right now in Denver. You're
- 50:25Speaker 1: finally home. How does it fail? I feel like you're
- 50:28Speaker 1: never never, I'm never in deavor. It feels really really good,
- 50:32Speaker 1: as I'm telling you, like being away for months, I'm
- 50:35Speaker 1: starting to get this uh weird kind of like anxiety
- 50:38Speaker 1: at times. UM. I don't know what it is, and
- 50:40Speaker 1: I don't know if it's just like or life that
- 50:42Speaker 1: for me and that I want to I really want
- 50:44Speaker 1: to start pursuing like relationships and I really want to
- 50:47Speaker 1: find somebody. And I know that it's the more and
- 50:49Speaker 1: more travel the harder and harder. That will be. Um,
- 50:52Speaker 1: that's one thing that's been on my mind and if
- 50:54Speaker 1: I was like as transparent as possible. The other part
- 50:57Speaker 1: is friendships. When I'm out of Denver. You know, my
- 51:00Speaker 1: friendships don't struggle because they understand, but they're they're out hiking,
- 51:04Speaker 1: they're out camping, they're out doing their thing, and I'm
- 51:07Speaker 1: you know, seeing it on Instagram. That's tough. Um, I've
- 51:09Speaker 1: gotten this been some amazing time with my family, which
- 51:12Speaker 1: has been really cool, but UM, I do miss my
- 51:14Speaker 1: friends and I missed kind of getting in that routine.
- 51:16Speaker 1: So being back in Denver is awesome, and especially this
- 51:20Speaker 1: because I'm able to be down at the Denver Outdoor
- 51:22Speaker 1: Retailer which is the largest outdoor retailer expo in the world.
- 51:27Speaker 1: And Generous Coffee is actually one of the coffee vendors,
- 51:30Speaker 1: so there's not many of us we got chosen as uh,
- 51:33Speaker 1: there's only a select few. So we're out here, UM,
- 51:36Speaker 1: just hustling coffee, serving coffee, talking about Generous, talking about
- 51:39Speaker 1: the fact that you can drink the best coffee in
- 51:41Speaker 1: the world, while at the same time, UM, making the
- 51:44Speaker 1: world a better place. So that's my job. This week. Um,
- 51:48Speaker 1: we're just we're just running a vendor booth at the expo.
- 51:51Speaker 1: But I love it. This is this is really I think,
- 51:54Speaker 1: actually like this is my passion. I love the podcast
- 51:56Speaker 1: and I hope we could do the podcast for the
- 51:58Speaker 1: next twenty years together. Um. But Generous is Generous really
- 52:03Speaker 1: is kind of my passion project and it's the one
- 52:06Speaker 1: thing that keeps me feeling um, you know, really really
- 52:09Speaker 1: purposeful in life. So people are out there buying fishing
- 52:12Speaker 1: poles and kayaks, and the few girls that are hanging
- 52:16Speaker 1: a few single girls that are hanging around that are
- 52:18Speaker 1: going up to the Generous coffees stand and trying to
- 52:20Speaker 1: slip their numbers on the receipts. Sometimes you get a
- 52:25Speaker 1: couple of numbers out there, you know it's uh, it's
- 52:27Speaker 1: a good move. And sometimes you know a little seat
- 52:30Speaker 1: slipped to you from it with a number, maybe it's
- 52:33Speaker 1: a d M or something. Hey there's potential here. But
- 52:36Speaker 1: I'm just looking, um, you know, I'm just looking to
- 52:39Speaker 1: start to get in that routine where I've even open
- 52:42Speaker 1: have the ability to open up to that aspect of
- 52:44Speaker 1: my life. It's not I have no time to invest
- 52:46Speaker 1: into it. And that's that's not fair to anybody, including myself. Yeah,
- 52:50Speaker 1: that's that is That is sad. You really you don't
- 52:52Speaker 1: have enough time to like sit down. Jared and I
- 52:54Speaker 1: feel the same way. I know it sounds really weird,
- 52:56Speaker 1: but we have very few nights where we can just
- 52:58Speaker 1: like sit down with a bottle of wine, even binge,
- 53:00Speaker 1: watch a couple episodes of the show. We're just we'll
- 53:03Speaker 1: get home at ten thirty eleven some nights from who
- 53:07Speaker 1: knows what, and then we fall asleep watching House Hunters
- 53:10Speaker 1: and then we'll wake up at one and we're like, okay,
- 53:13Speaker 1: I should probably go wash our you know, brush our
- 53:15Speaker 1: toeth and wash our face and go to bed. And
- 53:19Speaker 1: it's just would like a whole couple of days to
- 53:22Speaker 1: dedicate to wine and TV and my fiance. Actually, actually,
- 53:27Speaker 1: can I ask you some personal questions? How often do
- 53:31Speaker 1: you and Jared still make out as much, less or
- 53:34Speaker 1: more than when you know you first start dating again?
- 53:37Speaker 1: It depends how often we're home. If we're at home
- 53:40Speaker 1: for a night, then then then fine. But I guess
- 53:44Speaker 1: it was definitely the first month or so it was
- 53:47Speaker 1: more making out than ever. Yeah, yeah that makes sense.
- 53:50Speaker 1: And then, um, do you feel like your hiking has
- 53:54Speaker 1: picked up now that you're with him, or have you
- 53:56Speaker 1: gotten even more comfortable and just like your own like nastiness.
- 54:01Speaker 1: Has my hygiene picked up or I've gotten I've gotten
- 54:05Speaker 1: to comfortable or nastiness. We make fun of it all
- 54:07Speaker 1: the time. It's like it should be this is hashtag,
- 54:10Speaker 1: this is thirty, but it feels like hashtag this is
- 54:13Speaker 1: forty because because we were friends and know each other,
- 54:17Speaker 1: and we have been so comfortable with each other for
- 54:19Speaker 1: three years that now we're at this point where it's
- 54:22Speaker 1: almost too comfortable sometimes and I should probably ramp up
- 54:26Speaker 1: the romance. Yeah, yeah, I mean that's that's like a
- 54:30Speaker 1: slippery slope. I do think it's important, right, I mean,
- 54:33Speaker 1: it's important to continue to keep like some some flavors,
- 54:36Speaker 1: the mystery, um, some heat in mope. But you also,
- 54:39Speaker 1: you're you're living in your house. You don't want to
- 54:41Speaker 1: have to be on guard all the time. Maybe that's
- 54:43Speaker 1: a good actually, I think that's a good question for
- 54:45Speaker 1: our listeners. Um, any listeners out there, please email ash
- 54:48Speaker 1: had been an Ashley I heart meat dot com. We
- 54:51Speaker 1: want to hear what your thoughts are. You know, maybe
- 54:53Speaker 1: what six months to a year into relationship, what seems
- 54:56Speaker 1: to go, what seems to stay, what need stay and
- 55:00Speaker 1: what needs to go? And how comfortable can you actually
- 55:02Speaker 1: get with your partner during that time, Like what are
- 55:05Speaker 1: your beliefs on that. We want to hear it, we
- 55:07Speaker 1: want to learn it, actually going to take notes on it. Yeah,
- 55:09Speaker 1: those are good, that's good. We need um. Speaking of
- 55:14Speaker 1: getting gross together this week, I tell everybody when I
- 55:19Speaker 1: throw up, I'm not really sure why because it's always
- 55:21Speaker 1: so dramatic. It's never just like, oh loops. I was
- 55:24Speaker 1: at home and the night they're up, we were on
- 55:26Speaker 1: our way to a photo shoot. It was our engagement shoot,
- 55:31Speaker 1: and I was like, I don't really feel good. And
- 55:33Speaker 1: I didn't feel good for forty five minutes, and then
- 55:36Speaker 1: we stopped to get some tums and ginger ale, and
- 55:39Speaker 1: as soon as I took a sip of ginger ale,
- 55:41Speaker 1: everything started bubbling even worse than it was, and I
- 55:44Speaker 1: was like, you're gonna have to pull over to the
- 55:46Speaker 1: Shell station because I can't make it. I'm not gonna
- 55:49Speaker 1: make it. And then I throw up in the parking
- 55:52Speaker 1: lot at the Shell station and Jared just sees this,
- 55:56Speaker 1: like lava coming out of my mouth. Poor guy, has
- 55:59Speaker 1: watched me now'll throw up violently twice. Oh that's bad.
- 56:05Speaker 1: I mean, that's too bad for you too. It's just
- 56:08Speaker 1: so not sexy. It's like, are you gonna kiss me
- 56:10Speaker 1: for the next twenty four hours? If you just saw it?
- 56:12Speaker 1: Came out of my mouth A bitty yes, and I'm like,
- 56:16Speaker 1: how are you so good? You're so sweet? And he
- 56:19Speaker 1: took such good care of me, he went on two
- 56:21Speaker 1: CBS runs. I don't I don't know how I would
- 56:24Speaker 1: have done it without him. Actually, I'm gonna be honest
- 56:27Speaker 1: with you. I think I don't know if sweetness. I
- 56:30Speaker 1: hope that doesn't equal sweetness, because it would be hard
- 56:34Speaker 1: for me to kick anybody after I've watched them puke,
- 56:37Speaker 1: like at least for not like right away, but like
- 56:39Speaker 1: at least for like a couple of bits, like a
- 56:41Speaker 1: couple of days. I know. But the fact that he
- 56:47Speaker 1: did it right away is like it shows first off
- 56:51Speaker 1: that he just loves your Oh not right away, ben like, no,
- 56:56Speaker 1: like a couple of hours, like after I burst my teeth.
- 57:01Speaker 1: Oh fair enough, that works? Oh no, no, No. Have
- 57:04Speaker 1: you ever thrown up in front of a significant other? Um? Yeah, definitely,
- 57:08Speaker 1: I um, I mean you know, when you live with somebody,
- 57:12Speaker 1: I think you can't hide anything and you don't really
- 57:14Speaker 1: want to, Like when you're sick, you need help, you know.
- 57:17Speaker 1: So I'm definitely thrown up in front of the significant other.
- 57:21Speaker 1: It's it's just it's hopefully at that point, it's it's
- 57:24Speaker 1: suck for both parties, Like you feel bad for your
- 57:26Speaker 1: partner that they don't feel good and that they're sick,
- 57:29Speaker 1: and then it suck for you too because you know
- 57:31Speaker 1: that you're now in like nurse mode, and also you
- 57:34Speaker 1: know you are susceptible, not the most distractive thing in
- 57:38Speaker 1: the world. I would definitely need, I think anybody to
- 57:42Speaker 1: at least feel to brush their teeth or mouth wash
- 57:45Speaker 1: after getting thick, and if you need to breast your teeth.
- 57:48Speaker 1: I think we just have the perfect solution for anybody

- 59:53Speaker 1: I know you probably talked to Rachel about it. I
- 59:56Speaker 1: need to talk to you about it. Actually, what do
- 59:59Speaker 1: you most excit before? Leading out to last few weeks?
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: The facts are at mm hmm, we didn't talk about this.
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: I am well, I'm most excited to see who's going
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: to be the next Bachelor, but I know you won't
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: get that until what's happening now. Oh my goodness, I'm
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: looking for what's next. Okay. I'm excited to see just
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: the proposal and really this sounds weird, but I'm kind
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: of excited to see their post interviews because I want
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: to see how they're doing today. I am too I'm
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: very interested. I don't huh, you know, I still don't
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: know exactly who she ends up with. I do think
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: her final guys are seemed pretty great. They seem pretty solid.
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: I think the fans really enjoy them. Um, but these
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: last couple months could not have been easy. The one
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: thing that has seen to do that we were just
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: talking about earlier, she's kind of skirted around controversy when
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: it comes to the relationships within the show. I don't
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: see whoever she's with being super jealous watching this Deethan back.
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: What do you think? I don't think so either. Yea, No.
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: What would you grade Becca to this point on a
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: scale we did this last year, we've actually done the
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: last two years. I think it's about the week we
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: do it usually. What would be your grade Rebecca as
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: a bachelorette? Well, I'm going to give Becca a nine
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: because while she's not the most dramatic, she's done a really,
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: really great job picking good guys. Once we've gotten down
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: to the end, I haven't been like, why is he
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: still around? Like? Maybe that's because she has really great guys,
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: or maybe it's because she's got a really great picker
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: and she's also been really really sensitive towards them, and
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: she's always thinking about their feelings. Yeah, what about you? Interesting?
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: I mean I think she's done great I do. I mean,
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: I think she has done about what we thought. She's
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: not super dramatic. Um, she's kind of stayed as the
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: leader and the boss of the whole thing, um without
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: coming down as like hey, you know, kind of look
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: like seeing like she's like there's a hierarchy, or that
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: she's um talking down to these people, which happened sometimes
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: on this franchise where the bachelor bachelor atte like we'll
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: talk down to the contestants, and she hasn't done that. Um.
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: You know. The one thing I think that I you know,
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: as I judge and I said a couple weeks ago,
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: I judge a bachelor bachelort on how they reacted the
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: tough situation. Um, you know, there's always going to be
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: stuff that pops up and and the book makes a
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: good bachelor bachelor is is not um if they fall
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: in love or not, because most people will fall for somebody.
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: How do they react to really tough situations? And I
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: think Becca has done a great job at it. In fact,
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: he's maybe done two bit of a job at it
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: because there isn't a lot of really dramatic storylines, and
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: there could have been. You know, we have the Colton situation,
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: we had the Garret situation. We had early on some
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: of her crazy guys that seemed to always be causing
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: fights an argument, and she stayed up of it and
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: not really made it the main storyline of the show.
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: So so true, So she hasn't been I wouldn't say
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: it's been the most entertaining season the Bachelorette, but it
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: could be one of the most successful. I would agree. Yeah,
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: it would be surprising to me that if Becca, if
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: Becca and her guy whoever did, don't work out, it
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: would be a surprise to me, like a big shock. Then,
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: so I think this was set up for her. The
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: other part, and I know you and I have kind
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: of felt this way for the last couple of seasons,
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: is I'm I'm into this season, like I'm into the storylines.
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: I'm into the people that are there. I'm into who
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: these guys are and who they are to to Becca. Uh,
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: you know, for the last couple of seasons, I felt
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: very disconnected. I don't know if that was just because
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: I was getting online and I was too streshed. But
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: I feel pretty connected to this season. I feel I
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: feel you. Actually, I feel like I care about these
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: guys a lot. I don't know, Yeah, I think I
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: think we do. Hey, one thing that's interesting. I just
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: got an email. Um rumor has it some of Becca's
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: eyes though, cause major controversy on Paradise. But just coming up,
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: very one of our favorite times of the year is
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: doing this show when Paradise is happening. And it sounds
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: like this year Paradise is gonna be as crazy and
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: dramatic as ever led by. Here's here's what it's the
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: female saying. I don't know if it's true or not.
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: Leo from Becca season causes some major sir during Paradise.
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: Yeah really, I didn't know that he created a stir,
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: but I may hear that Will's maybe creating a stir?
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: Who's Will? Wills? Oh? Will? Really? Yeah, that's a surprise
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: to everybody out there because he was he didn't want
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: to still the top favorite the bachelors. Do you think so?
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: I mean, I see it all the time on my Twitter.
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: When you know, Mr Fly, who the next guy is
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: going to be in? My name always gets tagged I
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: always hm hmm. Interesting. He's a great guy. I'm at
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: him this week, so you like it. You would be
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: surprised if he caused a stir. I'm kind of surprised
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: that he causes a stir because he really stayed out
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: of the drama. Um and this season. You know, Wills
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: was like the least dramatic guy this season. He was
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: actually one of the people that Becca would go to
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: when he when she needed to be drama free. Yeah,
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: that is a good point, you know. You know, for
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: a second here, I want to take and kind of
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: not go off topic. I think Wills is definitely a
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: fan favorite. I definitely think it would be surprising if
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: if he does cause the drama in Paradise. But Paradise
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: does weird things to a lot of people, you know firsthand. Um, yes, yes,
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: I did. Ben one guy that has stayed above the
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: frame and above approach on every single show he's done
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: in Backlet Franchise is one of my favorite contestants. Michael.
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: G you of Michael, don't you? Yes? Michael, She is
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: like so funny. He never gets a lot of air time,
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: but I feel like he's still a fan favorite. He
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: is a fan favorite. It's why else that you know
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: he doesn't get air time, but yet people seem to
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: know him. Angela. We got an email from one of
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: our listeners named Angela. She definitely knows Michael G. Actually
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: listen to this email. I know you're happy, she goes,
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: I'm interested in the guy that kind of knows I did,
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: but I've had a bit of a hard time getting
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: his attention. I am super interested in Michael G from
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: Bachelor Nation. I know this sounds like a crazy fan,
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: but I promise you I'm not. I saw him on
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: Winner Games and thought he was super cute, and then
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: followed him on social media, where he seemed like he
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: had a great personality and made me even more interested.
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: He's also in my city, so I was hoping I
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: could casually bump into him. Then something interesting happens. I
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: tweeted him once his last episode of Winner Games there
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: and he liked it. Since then, I've tried to follow
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: up to make that a reality and haven't heard anything.
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: If it's possible, I would absolutely love it if you
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: guys could help a girl out. I always catch his
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: tweets about how dating life stuck, and I'm just trying
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: I'm just trying to make his dating life a bit better. Actually,
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: if you always said you wanted your life be a
- 1:07:02Speaker 1: romantic comedy, I hope you can make mine one as well. Angela.
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: Mm hm. Well, Angela, if you liked one of your tweets,
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: why don't you just adam m hm, just go out
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: of Angela, just make it happen. Yeah, you're not going
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: to get anything from a light tweet. I get white.
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: She loves Michael G. I love Michael D. Michael D
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: is one of my favorite people I've ever set Um.
- 1:07:28Speaker 1: It's surprising to me that he's still single. He's you know,
- 1:07:31Speaker 1: he's an a Parny. He's incredibly intelligent, he's good looking,
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: he lives in New York. He's caring and compassionate. Angela,
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: I get it. Um go after Michael D. I would
- 1:07:41Speaker 1: totally supported. Hey, Angela, how about you send a couple
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: of pictures and you're like a slight bio to Ashley,
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: to Benn and Ashley at I heart media dot com,
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: and we'll check it out and maybe we'll afford it
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: to him. I'm going to be in New York this weekend.
- 1:07:59Speaker 1: Maybe um, I can set some that up. Also, it's
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: worth mentioning that Michael G. When I had a charity
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: event on Valentine's Day in two thousand and sixteen in
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: New York City, we did a man auction and Nick
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: nick Val went for the highest for a mini date,
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: and somebody bid and spent fifty six hundred dollars for
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: a forty five minute mini date with Nick V. Well,
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: Michael G having as little airtime as he did, but
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: as a New York City lawyer, a very handsome New
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: York City lawyer, he went for fifty three hundred dollars.
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: Isn't that nuts? For five minutes with Michael? I bet
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: it was worth every penny. So crazy, but yeah, Angela,
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: send us a little email. Let's get your deeds. Hey,
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: Michael is worth every Penny's worth every penny. Acthlete, what
