- 0:35Speaker 1: I almost famous podcast with on our radio. Oh man,
- 0:40Speaker 1: it almost doesn't even get nervous anymore. I feel like
- 0:42Speaker 1: we're just pros. You've gotten nervous for the past almost
- 0:46Speaker 1: two years. Yeah. I give really anxious sometimes for this thing.
- 0:52Speaker 1: Sometimes we just have really big guests on. I don't
- 0:54Speaker 1: feel like we have that today, so um. But yeah,
- 0:58Speaker 1: sometimes you have such a big guests on that I
- 1:00Speaker 1: get like my hands a little sweaty. We want to
- 1:02Speaker 1: reduce our guests a little bit. But before we do that, actually,
- 1:05Speaker 1: and I got it round down through this episode. The
- 1:06Speaker 1: Bachelor season had started this episode two of Colton season
- 1:10Speaker 1: to find love, um Ashley. Yeah, let's start with the
- 1:17Speaker 1: first group date. The first group rate from episode two.
- 1:20Speaker 1: From episode two, Okay, what do you think? So again?
- 1:24Speaker 1: I thought that the Megan allowed Mallowe and nick Offerman thing,
- 1:28Speaker 1: it's kinda yucky. I didn't. I didn't love their part.
- 1:34Speaker 1: I loved the part when the girls started getting on
- 1:38Speaker 1: stage the redhead a lease Hers was bomb. I thought
- 1:43Speaker 1: Colton's was awesome. Colton's part of that date made all
- 1:49Speaker 1: the virginity talk tasteful, But Megan, Mallowy, nick Offermand made
- 1:54Speaker 1: it so cringe e. I was like frowning through the
- 1:56Speaker 1: entire thing. I just didn't like it. It was so
- 1:59Speaker 1: not Bachelor, you know, it wasn't wholesome at all. And
- 2:07Speaker 1: they're funny, like they're witty, they're funny, they work off
- 2:10Speaker 1: each other well. And I'm sure like if you were there,
- 2:13Speaker 1: probably uh felt like a little more like less like
- 2:16Speaker 1: just intrusive and more like flowy and fun. I'm with you.
- 2:20Speaker 1: I love dates on The Bachelor that first off put
- 2:23Speaker 1: people out of their comfort zones, but second off, you
- 2:25Speaker 1: actually get to like, I know them as people. And
- 2:28Speaker 1: I thought this when I first heard the idea when
- 2:30Speaker 1: they when they first announced though, this is a date
- 2:32Speaker 1: to talk about your first I was like, this is ridiculous. Same,
- 2:39Speaker 1: but then when the women got on stage, it wasn't
- 2:42Speaker 1: just about virginity and it wasn't just about sex, and
- 2:44Speaker 1: it didn't have to be about that. It was like,
- 2:45Speaker 1: here's my first time feeling pain, here's my first time
- 2:49Speaker 1: feeling love, here's my first time whatever. And I was like,
- 2:52Speaker 1: this is what I love. And I bet, uh, if
- 2:54Speaker 1: we ever get the chance to talk to Colton, I
- 2:56Speaker 1: bet like that was a really good moment for him
- 3:00Speaker 1: because I know when I was the bachelor, those moments
- 3:02Speaker 1: broke through like the traditional kind of uh dates and
- 3:05Speaker 1: allowed you to get to know the women really well.
- 3:08Speaker 1: You know, Ben, It kind of reminded me of what
- 3:11Speaker 1: I've always told you was the moment that I thought
- 3:13Speaker 1: you shine for the first time. It was the sex
- 3:15Speaker 1: talk date with the kids, and it's like it's like
- 3:18Speaker 1: a it's like a it's a sex topic, right, But
- 3:20Speaker 1: then you made it so wholesome and that's what the
- 3:24Speaker 1: girls on stage and Colton on the stage did. But
- 3:26Speaker 1: I thought Nick and Megan, I thought she looked fantastic.
- 3:30Speaker 1: But I don't think they're bit went well. She did
- 3:35Speaker 1: look good. I've never thought she looked good. She looked good.
- 3:38Speaker 1: She looked hot, like she's like really aging. Yeah. Yeah,
- 3:42Speaker 1: Nick kind of looked good too. He's a funny guy.
- 3:44Speaker 1: Was with him at the Cubs game. Watch he's a
- 3:45Speaker 1: Cubs fan, so I like him. Um, he looked good too. Uh,
- 3:48Speaker 1: you know, the women shine. We were getting a little
- 3:50Speaker 1: hit here. Actually, we're starting to see that some of
- 3:53Speaker 1: the crazies come out before we move on to the
- 3:55Speaker 1: next date here, what's your thoughts? Is Demmi crazy? Is
- 4:00Speaker 1: she just obsessed with Colton? What is her thing? Because
- 4:04Speaker 1: we haven't quite like, it's not very clear yet. Demi
- 4:08Speaker 1: is the classic girl who's like, I'm so mature even
- 4:11Speaker 1: though I'm young. But she's definitely the most immature of
- 4:15Speaker 1: the group. Yeah, it's weird, and she keeps wanting to
- 4:18Speaker 1: bring it up. It makes it feel a little awkward.
- 4:20Speaker 1: All right, let's move on. We've got then the first
- 4:23Speaker 1: one on one date. Uh. Really hard to watch, like
- 4:27Speaker 1: really hard to watch. I hate when the Bachelor makes
- 4:29Speaker 1: things awkward, Like I mean, and I'm sure it was
- 4:33Speaker 1: awkward in real life. I'm sure it felt weird in
- 4:35Speaker 1: real life, but when you watch it on TV and
- 4:37Speaker 1: it's like played out and there's just moments of silence
- 4:40Speaker 1: where you're sitting in a room watching a television screen.
- 4:43Speaker 1: You don't have said it many times and everybody on
- 4:44Speaker 1: the podcast listening will know this. You know, those moments
- 4:46Speaker 1: like watching Saved by the Bell as a kid, we
- 4:48Speaker 1: have to put your hand over your face and you
- 4:49Speaker 1: kind of look through your fingers because you can't watch anymore.
- 4:52Speaker 1: That's how I felt. Okay, so I tried to put
- 4:55Speaker 1: myself in Hannah's shoes, and I remember how awkward those
- 4:59Speaker 1: particular gular dates are because it's dead silent, like you're
- 5:04Speaker 1: not even like by the ocean where there's sound of
- 5:07Speaker 1: waves like there was just it was just desolate silence.
- 5:12Speaker 1: And then I don't think it always makes you feel
- 5:14Speaker 1: more awkward and more self conscious about everything that comes
- 5:16Speaker 1: out of your mace, your mouth. So I'm giving her
- 5:19Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt. There, I get it. I
- 5:22Speaker 1: do have to give Colton credit here, and I have
- 5:25Speaker 1: to give her credit. This is something that I that
- 5:27Speaker 1: I really think was good. I was waiting to see
- 5:30Speaker 1: what how coltoner to respond um to these situations like this.
- 5:34Speaker 1: Do you kiss right away. So as soon as it
- 5:36Speaker 1: starts eating quiet, do you lean in and just start
- 5:38Speaker 1: making out? Because he did it. He did it, not
- 5:41Speaker 1: on this date. He did one other time, but on
- 5:43Speaker 1: this date he held his own and just sat in it.
- 5:46Speaker 1: He sat in the awkwardness. And I think that was
- 5:49Speaker 1: a power. I think it's a great move for both
- 5:51Speaker 1: of them, like, let's just sit here and make this
- 5:53Speaker 1: thing work and if it's not, then we're just done. Yeah. Well,
- 5:56Speaker 1: what got her out of her shell to open up was,
- 6:00Speaker 1: of course, bringing up the virginity topic again. Really, we
- 6:03Speaker 1: thought we already got the explanation as to why he's
- 6:06Speaker 1: a virgin in episode one from a girl whose name
- 6:10Speaker 1: I don't remember. But I thought we got like the
- 6:12Speaker 1: explanation and we were gonna have to explain it anymore
- 6:14Speaker 1: and it was going to be done. And then I
- 6:16Speaker 1: was even thinking. I was like, I think we've gone
- 6:18Speaker 1: ten fifteen minutes without bringing up the word virgin, and
- 6:21Speaker 1: there she goes. That was her in on getting herself
- 6:25Speaker 1: to open up, and I was just like, come on,
- 6:26Speaker 1: be more creative than that. You totally took like the
- 6:28Speaker 1: easy way out. But Ashley, listen, did she get the explanation.
- 6:34Speaker 1: So she so she didn't see it. I get why
- 6:39Speaker 1: she asked. It's the thing but coldness. So many things
- 6:41Speaker 1: going for him, And ask him about his big muscles,
- 6:43Speaker 1: ask him about you know, his perfect jawline, Like, ask
- 6:46Speaker 1: him something else. Don't ask him about being a virgin.
- 6:49Speaker 1: It's that you just be creative, like she knows everybody
- 6:52Speaker 1: else is asking it. And if I was a girl
- 6:55Speaker 1: on the Bachelor right now, I just try to get
- 6:57Speaker 1: creative for me too, Like how about you come up
- 6:59Speaker 1: with something like what's your most embarrassing moment? Like that
- 7:02Speaker 1: that opens up a vulnerable story. Yeah, I'm not against it,
- 7:07Speaker 1: all right, Next group date, moving on here, Um, you
- 7:12Speaker 1: like this group date? I like the first group date,
- 7:16Speaker 1: but I liked I like these physical activity group dates.
- 7:19Speaker 1: I like the ones that people can get sweaty, dirty,
- 7:21Speaker 1: and that you know what, it kind of breaks down
- 7:23Speaker 1: those walls as well. Yeah, I like the first one
- 7:26Speaker 1: better because it's more like an emotional opener. But and
- 7:29Speaker 1: you you can tell more about the personality. I'm not
- 7:32Speaker 1: you know that I'm not a lover of physical group dates,
- 7:34Speaker 1: but I loved head. There's a moment on this group date.
- 7:38Speaker 1: It was so cute. I don't know why she was
- 7:40Speaker 1: so nervous telling Colton that she's never been kissed before,
- 7:43Speaker 1: because I'm pretty sure he was going to feel a
- 7:45Speaker 1: big sense of relief that there was somebody there that
- 7:47Speaker 1: was more inexperience than him, more pure than the guy himself.
- 7:52Speaker 1: I mean, I'm telling you, I was kissing girls in
- 7:55Speaker 1: the sixth grade. Like how she's made it this long,
- 7:57Speaker 1: I don't know, but good on her any time. Those
- 7:59Speaker 1: two always come up like pretty proud of them. But
- 8:02Speaker 1: my first kiss was nineteen, so I was like, girl,
- 8:04Speaker 1: don't worry, And I'm gonna definitely ask Calton this if
- 8:07Speaker 1: we ever have him on one his first kissed us. Uh. Well,
- 8:11Speaker 1: lucky enough, um, lady and gentlemen, boys and girls, people
- 8:15Speaker 1: of all ages. Ashley and I are lucky enough to
- 8:19Speaker 1: welcome on the guest to this podcast, the man himself,
- 8:24Speaker 1: the Bachelor of all time. Why do you think that
- 8:34Speaker 1: his secret the entire time? It's in the description of
- 8:36Speaker 1: the podcast. We're just so corny. I was just sitting
- 8:39Speaker 1: here listening you compliment me on my Yeah. Well, don't listen,
- 8:44Speaker 1: all yeah, don't listen all that. Colton, Welcome to the podcast.
- 8:47Speaker 1: Thanks for coming on. Take a deep breath. I know
- 8:50Speaker 1: you've got a busy day. You've been doing press and
- 8:52Speaker 1: and you know all this promotion stuff for weeks now,
- 8:56Speaker 1: and so just hang out with Ashley. Now you've been
- 8:57Speaker 1: on before your pro at this. Uh, let's get started.
- 9:02Speaker 1: Are you holding up? You know? I'm actually I'm good.
- 9:05Speaker 1: I got these last two days, I got some sleep,
- 9:07Speaker 1: so we're all good. Traveling back and forth obviously is tough,
- 9:11Speaker 1: but I actually enjoy it. I really like the hustle
- 9:13Speaker 1: on the grind. Do you really like tell the listeners
- 9:18Speaker 1: out there. I know actually can relate on this, but
- 9:20Speaker 1: tell the listeners out there kind of what your schedule
- 9:23Speaker 1: has looked like post Bachelor. Yeah, Um, there's been obviously
- 9:29Speaker 1: set press days here in l A. Whether it's conference calls,
- 9:32Speaker 1: whether it's um remotes where you just have a camera
- 9:35Speaker 1: and other people like sort of tap into the feed. Um,
- 9:38Speaker 1: it's long hours. I'm not gonna lie. And then it's
- 9:41Speaker 1: always you always have to be on right And not
- 9:43Speaker 1: that I change who I am, but when you're on
- 9:46Speaker 1: in present, and you know, if I do an interview
- 9:48Speaker 1: and I like look tired and dragging, like they could
- 9:51Speaker 1: take my comments and twist them another way. Um, so
- 9:53Speaker 1: that parts, I guess like a little exhausting, going back
- 9:55Speaker 1: and forth between New York and moraining thing. Yes, it's
- 9:59Speaker 1: just turning yourself on. It's like I love this, but
- 10:02Speaker 1: it's not like you're changing who you are. But it's
- 10:04Speaker 1: like happy having to be bubbly and happy all the
- 10:08Speaker 1: time always. But um no, I'm I got lots of sleep.
- 10:12Speaker 1: I'm ready to be happy and bubbly for you guys today,
- 10:16Speaker 1: She's turn it off. Man, we want the worst version
- 10:19Speaker 1: of you. That would be so well for us if
- 10:21Speaker 1: we could just get you angry and mad and irritated.
- 10:23Speaker 1: I don't think I can ever be mad at you. Ben, Well,
- 10:26Speaker 1: come on, let's not. Let's not start throwing compliments there,
- 10:29Speaker 1: even though, man, you look good right now. Hey, um
- 10:31Speaker 1: we're sitting in this is one thing I do want
- 10:33Speaker 1: to take a second. Cool and this is all about you,
- 10:35Speaker 1: and this whole season is about you. It should be
- 10:37Speaker 1: about you. This podcast about you. Last night I literally
- 10:39Speaker 1: make our living because of you. Right now, but thank you, Calton,
- 10:43Speaker 1: I do want to take a second. And you brought
- 10:45Speaker 1: up a really good topic that we sit and we
- 10:48Speaker 1: use Ryan create a Seacrest Studio for this podcast right
- 10:51Speaker 1: and we're sitting in there right now. There's a big
- 10:53Speaker 1: sign of his name being. You know, you aren't an
- 10:56Speaker 1: entertainment Like, you're not an entertainer. You are yourself on
- 10:59Speaker 1: this show and people love you because you're yourself, and
- 11:01Speaker 1: you're dating these women because you're yourself. But when you
- 11:04Speaker 1: do the press and you do talk to people, you
- 11:07Speaker 1: have to be like, you can't have a bad day.
- 11:09Speaker 1: And like the Ryan Seacrest of the world, they do
- 11:12Speaker 1: radio and TV every day, they can't have a bad day.
- 11:15Speaker 1: I need to ask you, Colden, like is it at
- 11:18Speaker 1: all draining on you? And and I be honest, like
- 11:21Speaker 1: do you feel like at all? Because I know for
- 11:23Speaker 1: me when I was in your situation, I felt like
- 11:25Speaker 1: at some level my soul wasn't getting sucked, but I
- 11:28Speaker 1: just couldn't be myself and it hurt and it started
- 11:31Speaker 1: to feel like I was a robot. And I've had
- 11:34Speaker 1: my days. I've had my my breakdowns, Like I'll self
- 11:38Speaker 1: admit that whether it's um and you know, I try
- 11:41Speaker 1: to say like and I've even said before like, oh
- 11:43Speaker 1: I don't pay attention to that. Yeah I'm lying. Um,
- 11:45Speaker 1: I mean I've read the comments, I've read the tweets.
- 11:48Speaker 1: I've yeah, I've read things I probably should have stayed
- 11:51Speaker 1: away from. So of course it gets to be too
- 11:53Speaker 1: much at times. Um And I think the one thing
- 11:56Speaker 1: that I have to keep reminding myself is like this
- 11:59Speaker 1: doesn't like this all right now is so much fun
- 12:01Speaker 1: and I'm having a blast with it, but it doesn't
- 12:03Speaker 1: define who I am as a person. Um. And I
- 12:05Speaker 1: think one one piece of advice Ben, that you gave
- 12:07Speaker 1: me a long time ago that it really sticks with
- 12:09Speaker 1: me is letting this enhance my life and letting this
- 12:14Speaker 1: provide opportunities and meeting crazy people and um, really using
- 12:18Speaker 1: it to enhance my life and not define my life. Yeah.
- 12:22Speaker 1: I mean Chris Harrison gave me that advice, smart man.
- 12:24Speaker 1: He is the host of the show. And I've been
- 12:27Speaker 1: passing it down to any Bachelor or Bachelor I can.
- 12:29Speaker 1: That's what the main thing that stuck stuck with me
- 12:32Speaker 1: from our conversations before I even started, uh, you know,
- 12:34Speaker 1: going on the Bachelor. It's it's a wild world, actually,
- 12:39Speaker 1: And I obviously sit here and we talk about you
- 12:40Speaker 1: every week, and people are celebrating you. Actually as you
- 12:44Speaker 1: sit there and you watch Colton so far this year.
- 12:47Speaker 1: I think I want to know from you, what are
- 12:49Speaker 1: some things in the first two episodes that have stood
- 12:51Speaker 1: out to you that you really enjoy about Cold But
- 12:54Speaker 1: we just played footsie something. I don't know what. I
- 13:00Speaker 1: was like, I'm sorry, what have I really enjoyed about Colton? Okay, Colton,
- 13:07Speaker 1: I I hope you take this as a comment. I
- 13:09Speaker 1: appreciate your nerves night one. It was so endearing and
- 13:12Speaker 1: it made me feel like you're a regular person and
- 13:14Speaker 1: not like this like male model robot. Yeah. I was
- 13:18Speaker 1: actually a lot. I was way more nervous than I
- 13:20Speaker 1: thought I was gonna be. Yeah, I thought like, and
- 13:23Speaker 1: here was like one thing that I realized, and I
- 13:27Speaker 1: realized that more as like filming went on. I came
- 13:29Speaker 1: into it having filmed The Bachelor, went to Paradise, and
- 13:33Speaker 1: then went straight into the Bachelor, So I'm back to
- 13:35Speaker 1: back to back, and I came in like, Okay, I
- 13:37Speaker 1: got this, Like this is how this goes, this is
- 13:39Speaker 1: this camera operator, this is this audio guy. Like I
- 13:41Speaker 1: felt super comfortable, but still the sense of the reality
- 13:45Speaker 1: of me meeting thirty women like that's obviously nobody could
- 13:49Speaker 1: prepare you for that. Nothing, no experience could prepare you
- 13:52Speaker 1: for that, And I think, like I just realized I
- 13:54Speaker 1: don't have it all figured out, And I think that's
- 13:56Speaker 1: the beauty of what you know, how this this season
- 13:58Speaker 1: is it seems so it was like a real guy
- 14:01Speaker 1: meeting thirty women, not somebody just like And then my
- 14:04Speaker 1: other favorite thing about you is that you just you
- 14:08Speaker 1: just so very easy to talk to. I feel like
- 14:10Speaker 1: looking at every other bachelor, even you included Ben, you're
- 14:14Speaker 1: like a little bit more intimidating because like I guess
- 14:18Speaker 1: it's on the same way, like you're just more boyish
- 14:21Speaker 1: and more I just find you less intimidating, but in
- 14:28Speaker 1: a good way. Is that like is that offensive sounding? No? No,
- 14:32Speaker 1: not at all, because like I feel like I could
- 14:33Speaker 1: actually sit next to you the first night and be
- 14:35Speaker 1: like just ji vy, but with Ben, I'd probably be like,
- 14:38Speaker 1: oh my goodness, this man, um he's so smooth and
- 14:42Speaker 1: he knows exactly all the right things to say. But
- 14:45Speaker 1: like I don't, Like, I think I realized that too,
- 14:48Speaker 1: is like I don't want people to say just the
- 14:49Speaker 1: right things. And then question are you just saying that
- 14:53Speaker 1: because there's a camera in your face? Yeah, you know, approachable.
- 14:56Speaker 1: That's the word approachable. He approachable. And also I think
- 15:01Speaker 1: it helps Colton that you've been so vulnerable, like I know,
- 15:04Speaker 1: we've we've hated you know, over and over again hearing
- 15:08Speaker 1: about you know what your history UM and BED has been,
- 15:12Speaker 1: but it has made you vulnerable, like it's forced you
- 15:14Speaker 1: to be authentic and genuine something that's maybe one of
- 15:17Speaker 1: the things that most of us hid the most about
- 15:19Speaker 1: our selves and talk about the least. We've known about
- 15:22Speaker 1: it for a long time. I should probably mention that
- 15:26Speaker 1: that's probably why I find Culton the most approachable because
- 15:29Speaker 1: I went in on The Bachelor being a virgin? Did
- 15:32Speaker 1: you did you disclose that in casting? Yeah? Did you?
- 15:35Speaker 1: No way? No, they didn't, And I could, like for
- 15:39Speaker 1: sure say like there is no way they knew because
- 15:42Speaker 1: I didn't, Like I hadn't really told that many people,
- 15:45Speaker 1: and the people I did were like tight lipped about it.
- 15:48Speaker 1: So beck Attilly also didn't talk about it in casting,
- 15:51Speaker 1: and I didn't. I never thought it was going to
- 15:53Speaker 1: be that big of a deal. Yeah, I just casually
- 15:55Speaker 1: talked about it in an interview or I think I
- 15:57Speaker 1: was talking in one of my demand chats. UM and
- 16:00Speaker 1: I brought it up, and then it became like everybody,
- 16:03Speaker 1: you know, everybody had their opinions on it, which is
- 16:06Speaker 1: what the show is, right. I mean people they like
- 16:08Speaker 1: when people have opinions about certain things. Um, but I
- 16:11Speaker 1: never I never thought it was going to be like this.
- 16:15Speaker 1: I don't even want to say powerful because it's not
- 16:17Speaker 1: like that. But its just it's like a label. And
- 16:20Speaker 1: that's the one thing that's driving me nuts the most
- 16:22Speaker 1: about it now is just the label. Yeah, and you
- 16:24Speaker 1: can't get away with it. They're focusing more it seems
- 16:27Speaker 1: like on you finding your first unless of you finding
- 16:30Speaker 1: your wife or maybe they're one and the same hopefully.
- 16:36Speaker 1: I mean that's the reason. Is this for me is
- 16:39Speaker 1: like now where I'm at in my life, It's like,
- 16:43Speaker 1: when that moment happens, I wanted to be with somebody
- 16:45Speaker 1: who I could see myself spending the rest of my
- 16:47Speaker 1: life with. I think Ashley, you know from the talks
- 16:51Speaker 1: with with you, actually I bet you would agree. Hey,
- 16:53Speaker 1: we gotta take a second. We have a huge fan
- 16:55Speaker 1: of massive fan of Colton on the line right now.
- 16:57Speaker 1: Who is called in Steph P Are you out there?
- 17:01Speaker 1: I'm here? Hi? Hi, stuff, how are you good? How
- 17:05Speaker 1: are you guys? Great? I'm like, thanks for having me on.
- 17:09Speaker 1: I feel like I'm such a random person. Is that?
- 17:11Speaker 1: What do you guys are doing today? Talk to random people?
- 17:13Speaker 1: Calling it? We just heard you are a great enthusiastic
- 17:16Speaker 1: Bachelor fan. That is in fact true. I love you guys,
- 17:22Speaker 1: I love but you're a massive fan of Colton. Correct.
- 17:25Speaker 1: I'm a massive fan of everyone. But yes, I love cool.
- 17:29Speaker 1: Thank you, hi that you love so much? Um, I
- 17:36Speaker 1: think he seems like a very nice guy. You feel
- 17:40Speaker 1: like one of the nicer backs, which is nice after Okay,
- 17:44Speaker 1: I got I lied. I don't like everyone. I gotta
- 17:46Speaker 1: be honest. It's not like I lied. I didn't like
- 17:48Speaker 1: or at all. So it's really nice to have a
- 17:51Speaker 1: nice bachelor back on who seems like a good person. Well,
- 17:55Speaker 1: thank you, I appreciate that. I'll tell are you what
- 17:57Speaker 1: you said? To go ahead? I can't care like I'll
- 18:02Speaker 1: tell it. No, that's not true. I totally wouldn't do
- 18:04Speaker 1: that to pick. We can't hate on our He just
- 18:08Speaker 1: got married this weekend. That's a massive deal that I'm
- 18:12Speaker 1: sure he honestly, obviously, he would not give a crap
- 18:14Speaker 1: what I think about him. It's like, who's this chick?
- 18:17Speaker 1: But I'm happy for him as long as they're happy. Uh, Step,
- 18:21Speaker 1: I know there's something on your heart. I know there's
- 18:23Speaker 1: something you're feeling deep inside. You have questions for Colton,
- 18:27Speaker 1: and so take it away. Okay, So okay, here's my
- 18:31Speaker 1: first late in one. And so I know you're probably
- 18:34Speaker 1: sick of talking about this, Colton. I know you love
- 18:37Speaker 1: you must be so sick of talking about how you're
- 18:39Speaker 1: a virgin, but or maybe you're not now I don't
- 18:41Speaker 1: even know. I have no clue, but on a scale
- 18:43Speaker 1: of one to ten, how sick of you were talking
- 18:45Speaker 1: about that? UM, I would say the hardest part for
- 18:50Speaker 1: it right now I knew they it was obviously going
- 18:52Speaker 1: to come up with my relationships with the ladies and
- 18:55Speaker 1: the women on my show. Um, the hardest part now,
- 18:58Speaker 1: I think post show is like watching every single UM
- 19:02Speaker 1: article have the headline of virgin bachelor. I think that's
- 19:06Speaker 1: what is sort of tough for me because I've gone
- 19:08Speaker 1: through it in my life before. With football is like
- 19:11Speaker 1: I've dealt with my family and my relationships with my
- 19:13Speaker 1: friends being dependent on Oh, how's the next season going
- 19:16Speaker 1: to go? So I've already been in a comparable situation
- 19:19Speaker 1: where people wanted to find me and stick me in
- 19:20Speaker 1: the box of you know, well, now it's Virgin Bachelor,
- 19:23Speaker 1: before it was football Colton and there's nothing and they
- 19:26Speaker 1: just act like there's nothing more to me. Yeah, that sucks.
- 19:30Speaker 1: I guess yeah, Well do do you think do you
- 19:33Speaker 1: think that they picked you because of that? And you're
- 19:36Speaker 1: kind of like, there's more to me than this. I mean,
- 19:40Speaker 1: it's one thing. I'm not in a position to say
- 19:42Speaker 1: why exactly they picked me? Is this part of is
- 19:45Speaker 1: this part of the storyline? Is people going are people
- 19:48Speaker 1: going to be invested in? Absolutely? Um? I hope that
- 19:51Speaker 1: that's not the only reason that they picked me in.
- 19:54Speaker 1: I mean, I just I think there there is a
- 19:57Speaker 1: lot more to me. There is a lot more information
- 19:58Speaker 1: to be said about the Virgin, and you will find
- 20:00Speaker 1: it out on this season. Oh good, I can't wait
- 20:03Speaker 1: because I was so I don't know how much you guys.
- 20:06Speaker 1: I don't know how much you guys know about me
- 20:07Speaker 1: or not that I'm a fitness instructor. But today in class,
- 20:10Speaker 1: I was telling everyone that was gonna be on the show,
- 20:12Speaker 1: and that was like, I was like, what do you
- 20:14Speaker 1: guys want to know? The most, like what because most
- 20:16Speaker 1: of my writers are big fans too, and we're all
- 20:19Speaker 1: in like a fantasy league together that I'm losing already,
- 20:21Speaker 1: which I'm very embarrassed. But one thing we were all wondering,
- 20:25Speaker 1: We're like, do wish after all this, do you wish
- 20:28Speaker 1: you lost your virginity earlier during someone who you were
- 20:32Speaker 1: maybe in love within your past that it was just
- 20:34Speaker 1: not the whole thing? Or are you like a no
- 20:37Speaker 1: regret whatever, you know, a type of person just move on.
- 20:41Speaker 1: I think in regards to my virgin I stand by
- 20:43Speaker 1: the man who I was. I stay by the man
- 20:45Speaker 1: who I am today. Um. And I feel like, you know,
- 20:49Speaker 1: it's made me not only like while I say it's
- 20:53Speaker 1: such a small part of who I am, I just
- 20:54Speaker 1: think it's a set of morals, a set of values
- 20:56Speaker 1: that I've carried in my personal life for so long now.
- 20:59Speaker 1: Um that I don't regret. I don't regret the decision
- 21:03Speaker 1: that I made. I don't regret talking about it on
- 21:05Speaker 1: National TV. I just never thought it would get to
- 21:07Speaker 1: this point. Wait, I have something to say about this
- 21:09Speaker 1: because after I got off The Bachelor, I was like,
- 21:14Speaker 1: I just wish I hadn't gone in like that I
- 21:16Speaker 1: wish that. I really I had a moment where I
- 21:19Speaker 1: wish that I had lost it to somebody that I
- 21:21Speaker 1: was seeing before the show, and I was like, that
- 21:24Speaker 1: was a huge mistake, Like he was the one I
- 21:27Speaker 1: wanted to really do that with. And now this is
- 21:30Speaker 1: all out there, and now there's so much pressure on
- 21:34Speaker 1: me from other guys. Like every guy I'm gonna date
- 21:37Speaker 1: going forward is going to know this, and it's gonna
- 21:39Speaker 1: turn a lot of guys off. But it's gonna it's
- 21:43Speaker 1: going to turn the wrong I know. So for years
- 21:48Speaker 1: I was like people would tell me that and I'd
- 21:50Speaker 1: be like, oh, I know, I know. But then you know,
- 21:54Speaker 1: when you get older and you do find the right relationship,
- 21:58Speaker 1: then you like know that that's really what you should
- 22:00Speaker 1: stick to. You need to keep reminding yourself that as
- 22:03Speaker 1: annoying as it is, no in the the whole topic
- 22:08Speaker 1: of it as a whole, I'm not annoyed. I'm annoyed
- 22:11Speaker 1: by the cheapening of it. I'm annoyed when it's just
- 22:14Speaker 1: used as clickbait or um when people want to bring
- 22:18Speaker 1: it up sort of in a in a cheap way,
- 22:20Speaker 1: or take shots at it or discredit it like I'm
- 22:23Speaker 1: not like I didn't open up about it to say like, hey,
- 22:25Speaker 1: I'm better than this person. It's just part. It's just
- 22:27Speaker 1: like if i'm if you're going to get to know
- 22:29Speaker 1: who I am, Like that's just part of me. Do
- 22:32Speaker 1: people ever think that you're that you are? Like, I
- 22:38Speaker 1: don't know what I'm going to say this. It's like
- 22:40Speaker 1: the opposite of virgin shaming. People say that if you
- 22:43Speaker 1: throw it in their face. Yeah, the word like you
- 22:45Speaker 1: think it's better you are pure? No, Like, And that's
- 22:49Speaker 1: the thing, Like, I don't really talk about it that much.
- 22:52Speaker 1: I've talked about it when it's appropriate in the relationship. Um,
- 22:55Speaker 1: obviously I talked about it on the show, but I
- 22:57Speaker 1: don't have final say like what sound bites get used.
- 22:59Speaker 1: And so I mean that's a whole another conversation. But
- 23:04Speaker 1: I mean, I don't I don't walk around and wear
- 23:08Speaker 1: it like on my chest like that. I'll admit to it,
- 23:10Speaker 1: I'll own who I am as a person, but I'm
- 23:11Speaker 1: I'm not leading any type of conversation. That's why, Like
- 23:14Speaker 1: you didn't hear me talk to Becca about it until
- 23:17Speaker 1: it was appropriate, until it was a week before hometown,
- 23:19Speaker 1: until she had to make a decision whether she wanted
- 23:21Speaker 1: to move our relationship forward or not. Yeah, it was
- 23:23Speaker 1: totally the appropriate time. Yeah, I'm not going to just
- 23:26Speaker 1: hit him with at night one, you know. Yeah, Steph,
- 23:29Speaker 1: I know you're still out there. Anything else you want
- 23:30Speaker 1: to ask Colton before you go? Sure? What about? Okay?
- 23:33Speaker 1: Here's one thing that did set me about your first
- 23:35Speaker 1: night alright, the first episode? Why did you get rid
- 23:39Speaker 1: of the favorite? I'm a big chemistry and connection guy,
- 23:46Speaker 1: and it just wasn't there. It's one of those things
- 23:48Speaker 1: that's hard to really explain it when you have a
- 23:49Speaker 1: feeling like and also keep in mind there's twenty nine
- 23:53Speaker 1: other incredible women as well, So it just all for
- 23:56Speaker 1: me came down to chemistry and connection. I respect the move.
- 23:59Speaker 1: I was expect how in character she was the whole
- 24:01Speaker 1: entire night. And I know it's not easy staying in
- 24:04Speaker 1: that outfit because she had to stay in that the
- 24:07Speaker 1: whole night. It's cold, ye warm in the tree, crawling
- 24:13Speaker 1: around whatever she was. But you know what, I'll say
- 24:15Speaker 1: that I personally I mad respect she's stayed in character
- 24:18Speaker 1: the whole time. Well, you do have a lot of
- 24:21Speaker 1: good girls to choose from this season. Yeah. Absolutely, Well,
- 24:24Speaker 1: I have a special announcement to make this Sloth will
- 24:27Speaker 1: be on during the last segment of the show today.
- 24:30Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, yes, like I really I love the
- 24:34Speaker 1: interest so much. I always think if I whoever went
- 24:36Speaker 1: on the show, which I wouldn't because I'm married, but uh,
- 24:39Speaker 1: I wouldn't do something crazy and weird like that. It
- 24:42Speaker 1: was like that girl is my girl. Hey, Steph, thank
- 24:44Speaker 1: you so much for on the podcast. Thanks for having
- 24:47Speaker 1: me you guys can't wait to watch to night. Calton,
- 24:49Speaker 1: thank you. I can't wait to watch two. Good Bye. Okay, Colton,
- 24:55Speaker 1: I want to just revisit the the fact that you
- 24:58Speaker 1: didn't bring it up in asting and that you brought
- 25:02Speaker 1: it up when you were just having a casual conversation
- 25:05Speaker 1: in the house. Did you get used to having these
- 25:08Speaker 1: casual conversations, because like last night you talked about, um,
- 25:12Speaker 1: how you told one of your teammates when you just
- 25:14Speaker 1: asked you the question point blank, and You're like, I
- 25:17Speaker 1: was searching for a lie, honestly, and then you just
- 25:20Speaker 1: came out with the truth, which is a scenario that
- 25:23Speaker 1: I was in a zillion times whenever the topic of
- 25:26Speaker 1: sex would come up anywhere in school with my friends
- 25:30Speaker 1: straight to lying or did you pivot? I would pivot.
- 25:33Speaker 1: I'd be like if it was a girl talk, does
- 25:35Speaker 1: anybody need any water? And like I get up to
- 25:37Speaker 1: go the fridge, or like I gotta go to the bathroom,
- 25:40Speaker 1: and you know, I just walk away from the conversation
- 25:42Speaker 1: or I got super quiet and it was just so awkward.
- 25:44Speaker 1: People must have been like, why doesn't you ever participate
- 25:47Speaker 1: in these conversations? So did you get used to it
- 25:50Speaker 1: before going to the Bachelorhouse about talking and talking about it?
- 25:54Speaker 1: You know? But this is the interest, like the reason,
- 25:57Speaker 1: the whole reason why I wanted to do the Bachelor
- 26:00Speaker 1: and I went on was it was a point in
- 26:03Speaker 1: my life where I just wanted to start coming into
- 26:05Speaker 1: my own I want to start owning who I was
- 26:07Speaker 1: as a person, and I wanted to start like really
- 26:09Speaker 1: focusing on my personal life. So that was just one
- 26:12Speaker 1: of those moments where I'm like, all right, I'm in, Like,
- 26:14Speaker 1: I'm in this, let's do this. I gotta work and
- 26:15Speaker 1: I gotta like I have to continue to push myself.
- 26:18Speaker 1: And I think you and I have talked about it before.
- 26:21Speaker 1: I don't even know where I would be personally, like
- 26:24Speaker 1: the growth that you have on these shows is unbelievable.
- 26:27Speaker 1: I'm sure have been You've been through it too. I
- 26:28Speaker 1: don't even know if I would have been able to
- 26:30Speaker 1: start dating changes the way it changes the way that
- 26:33Speaker 1: you go about every other conversation in your personal life,
- 26:35Speaker 1: whether you're dating them or not. It's just it's so
- 26:38Speaker 1: refreshing to be direct, say what's on your mind, and
- 26:41Speaker 1: then also just not be afraid to be vulnerable, like
- 26:44Speaker 1: if like I don't know now now it's just like
- 26:47Speaker 1: my friendships have even gotten stronger. We went from one
- 26:50Speaker 1: extreme being totally secret of it to be like, Okay,
- 26:52Speaker 1: you can ask me. I'm an open book. I'll tell
- 26:54Speaker 1: you everything. And I think it's I think it's a
- 26:57Speaker 1: better healthier way to live everyday to start out with
- 27:00Speaker 1: now I start out with, I am Ben. Did you
- 27:02Speaker 1: know at one point I was the Bachelor? Hey before
- 27:06Speaker 1: before we continue, actually, uh, something that's on your mind
- 27:09Speaker 1: and something you're really proud of, something you love very
- 27:11Speaker 1: much you have to tell our fans about. Jared and
- 27:13Speaker 1: I went to Janner Manor Part two this weekend down
- 27:18Speaker 1: in Orange County, California, and everything in their house is
- 27:23Speaker 1: from Curt and barrel because we found out that they
- 27:26Speaker 1: had a Crton Barrel registry for their wedding and we're like,
- 27:28Speaker 1: where'd you get that crand barrel? And we're like, where'd
- 27:30Speaker 1: you get that grand barrel? Like, Wow, we gotta put
- 27:32Speaker 1: all this stuff on our registry because it's so nice.
- 27:36Speaker 1: What I love about Crate and Barrel and having a
- 27:38Speaker 1: Crton Barrel registry is that all the pieces are timeless
- 27:42Speaker 1: and they evolved with your style, just like jan and
- 27:44Speaker 1: Tanner were able to go from one house with the
- 27:46Speaker 1: same decor and plates and glasses as they were in
- 27:51Speaker 1: their new house, which is a little bit of a
- 27:53Speaker 1: different style. And Crate and Barrel also makes entertaining effortless.
- 27:57Speaker 1: You should have seen how Jade was is able to
- 28:00Speaker 1: make breakfast and put everything out and like the most
- 28:04Speaker 1: beautiful layout with all her crate and barrel products that
- 28:09Speaker 1: they got from their registry. Also, they have amazing beds,
- 28:14Speaker 1: and Jared and I were like, that's something we forgot
- 28:17Speaker 1: to put on our registry. We need new Dubai's sheets, pillows,
- 28:22Speaker 1: bath towels. All that stuff is so nice from Crate
- 28:26Speaker 1: and Barrel. Jared and I love to come home and
- 28:29Speaker 1: unwind after we're busy day, we look forward to just
- 28:31Speaker 1: coming home, sitting on the couch or lying in bed,
- 28:34Speaker 1: and we wanted to look as good as it feels.
- 28:37Speaker 1: And that is the perfect combination that we get with
- 28:40Speaker 1: crate and barrel stuff. So, whether we are lounging at
- 28:43Speaker 1: home just the two of us, or whether we're entertaining,
- 28:45Speaker 1: Crate and Barrel's got everything we need. You can start
- 28:49Speaker 1: your Crate and Barrel Registry today at Crate and Barrel
- 28:51Speaker 1: dot com. Again, if you are preparing for a wedding,
- 28:55Speaker 1: you can get your Crate and Barrel Registry started today
- 28:58Speaker 1: at Crate and Barrel dot com. So when you did
- 29:00Speaker 1: have that conversation and you were like, oh, actually our
- 29:02Speaker 1: supposide somebody on Beck of Season, did they like pull
- 29:05Speaker 1: you into an interview right away? Um, as far as
- 29:10Speaker 1: what they were like, oh my god, we just got
- 29:11Speaker 1: amazing during this guy. Uh no, now because they knew
- 29:15Speaker 1: about it because I brought it up in the house
- 29:18Speaker 1: into it, Oh you did, Yeah, So I didn't drink.
- 29:22Speaker 1: You were interviewing about it. I was interviewing and I
- 29:24Speaker 1: think I was having a conversation with Jason. I don't
- 29:26Speaker 1: know which one came first um in the house, and
- 29:28Speaker 1: then they started yeah, and then we just started having
- 29:31Speaker 1: a conversation. And like I said before, like that's where
- 29:33Speaker 1: the growth comes in is because the more that I realized,
- 29:36Speaker 1: like as you talked through things and they kept asking
- 29:39Speaker 1: me why, like or what was it? Like how what
- 29:42Speaker 1: did you do in your other relationship? Like how how
- 29:44Speaker 1: is this dynamic? And like for the first time, I'm
- 29:46Speaker 1: actually putting it into words for myself to hear too,
- 29:49Speaker 1: And I think that was that's what was so cool
- 29:51Speaker 1: about it. That was the question that I hate. Not
- 29:53Speaker 1: only did I hate the question when when you'd have
- 29:56Speaker 1: sex talks around you and you tried to avoid them.
- 30:00Speaker 1: I not only dreaded just saying I'm a virgin, I
- 30:03Speaker 1: dreaded being having my friend be like why how because
- 30:08Speaker 1: I didn't really even know how to describe it. Well,
- 30:10Speaker 1: it's not like for me too, and I don't know
- 30:12Speaker 1: about like you. But it's not a simple answer, No,
- 30:15Speaker 1: it's not. I had like a whole bunch of different reasonings.
- 30:19Speaker 1: I think as our society is, especially today, and how um,
- 30:24Speaker 1: I don't I want to say this in a tasteful
- 30:26Speaker 1: way and not lazy, but we just look for that simple.
- 30:29Speaker 1: We just look for the simple answer and to move on.
- 30:32Speaker 1: So if you have to think about it at all,
- 30:34Speaker 1: it's just like, Okay, well he must be lying or
- 30:36Speaker 1: he must be doing this. It's because you just don't
- 30:38Speaker 1: want to put the effort in to like actually understand
- 30:41Speaker 1: or get the reasoning why. And you just didn't want
- 30:43Speaker 1: to be thought that you were weird. And I don't.
- 30:45Speaker 1: I mean, if I really were to explain this to
- 30:46Speaker 1: you wouldn't think I was weird. But immediately you're gonna think,
- 30:49Speaker 1: like in the world, right, So well cool. I can
- 30:52Speaker 1: talk about this forever because you have any that really
- 30:57Speaker 1: we understand each other a lot on I get it.
- 31:01Speaker 1: I get it, and I'm glad you guys got to talk. Actually,
- 31:03Speaker 1: you've had a lot of thoughts I've known, uh Colton,
- 31:06Speaker 1: you know you're a lot more than this conversation. So
- 31:09Speaker 1: I promise you one thing from here and out, No,
- 31:11Speaker 1: nothing we're gonna talk about is going to be about you.
- 31:13Speaker 1: I don't really want to hear about it. I don't
- 31:15Speaker 1: like thinking about I would never have brought it up
- 31:17Speaker 1: if you didn't. You and I didn't have similar situations
- 31:24Speaker 1: more interesting because we've bulled been identical situations, except for
- 31:27Speaker 1: you're the Bachelor and I was never like the lead,
- 31:29Speaker 1: and that I can't even imagine how annoying. All right,
- 31:33Speaker 1: here we go, Colton. Yes, you're two weeks in. Uh,
- 31:39Speaker 1: it's no secret to most that you've been through this.
- 31:41Speaker 1: Now you're sitting here and you're talking about it. Do
- 31:43Speaker 1: you still believe the Bachelor, Bachelor in Paradise, Bachelor, I
- 31:47Speaker 1: can find you or anybody else love. I will go
- 31:52Speaker 1: to bat and I will back the franchise up until
- 31:55Speaker 1: my last breath. I probably I always said to, And
- 31:58Speaker 1: I don't do the apps I've watched, and I have
- 32:00Speaker 1: friends who would have dating apps. But I actually think
- 32:04Speaker 1: what I've experienced on The Bachelor and in Paradise and
- 32:07Speaker 1: on the Bachelor has been some of the most real
- 32:09Speaker 1: connections that I've I've ever had and where I think
- 32:12Speaker 1: people can because when the phones go away and you
- 32:14Speaker 1: actually have a genuine conversation, you talk about meaningful things
- 32:17Speaker 1: like it's so powerful, how it can advance a relationship.
- 32:20Speaker 1: It really is. It's it's just like microcosm is like space.
- 32:23Speaker 1: I was just telling somebody other day, Um, I've started
- 32:26Speaker 1: dating again. This is big news, right, I am dating
- 32:30Speaker 1: an app No, no, no, I'm actually dating one person
- 32:34Speaker 1: that we'll talk about in a couple of weeks on
- 32:36Speaker 1: the pod. Yeah. So so just um, you know what,
- 32:45Speaker 1: why not? And and so I'm excited about So here's
- 32:47Speaker 1: the thing. We're talking to their night and I was
- 32:49Speaker 1: saying the Bachelor is a really great thing because it
- 32:51Speaker 1: is it forces you to have conversations. And right now,
- 32:54Speaker 1: the girl that I'm talking to is long distance, and
- 32:57Speaker 1: so we face time a lot, and it feels very
- 33:00Speaker 1: similiar because we don't get time together. It's very intentional,
- 33:03Speaker 1: it's very focused. And if we're gonna we're gonna spend
- 33:05Speaker 1: any time with each other, it's gonna be in conversation. Um.
- 33:09Speaker 1: And she's like the best purest person I know, and
- 33:11Speaker 1: so like a lot of those conversations are about our lives.
- 33:13Speaker 1: So anyways, Colton, I think you're spot on. I do
- 33:16Speaker 1: believe also the show can find you love. Second question,
- 33:18Speaker 1: This is a two part question. Uh so let me
- 33:22Speaker 1: finish you. I'm gonna say first, the first part of
- 33:23Speaker 1: this question is what's one thing that bothers you most
- 33:25Speaker 1: about watching yourself on TV? You've had enough time now
- 33:27Speaker 1: on television. You've seen this and the second part of
- 33:30Speaker 1: that is what makes you and I promise this is
- 33:32Speaker 1: going to get better unlikable. Um, I would say what
- 33:39Speaker 1: bothers me the most on TV? I just I think
- 33:42Speaker 1: right now, like just the constant conversations that even I'm
- 33:46Speaker 1: articulating with the virginity thing and how the sexual undertone
- 33:50Speaker 1: of is of the whole show is Like I had
- 33:52Speaker 1: an idea of that before I went on, but knowing
- 33:54Speaker 1: like my Grandma's watching, and my aunts and my family's
- 33:58Speaker 1: and my little brother, like, and that almost answers your
- 34:02Speaker 1: other question to where it's unwatching, Like that's the part
- 34:05Speaker 1: I'm just like sort of cringing when I hear myself
- 34:07Speaker 1: even talk back, Like when I hear myself talking about it,
- 34:11Speaker 1: that that hurts, right, Like those intimate moments, even the kissing.
- 34:14Speaker 1: I remember I was watching episode four at my house
- 34:18Speaker 1: in Warsaw with my parents and their friends, right, and
- 34:20Speaker 1: so they had a watch party. I was able to
- 34:22Speaker 1: get home for that, and so I was sitting watching
- 34:24Speaker 1: my episode and there's just like really heated makeout scene, right,
- 34:27Speaker 1: and so you can hear it, Like the show loves
- 34:30Speaker 1: to like do the noise effects where it's like, and
- 34:34Speaker 1: I'm sitting there in this room full of like my
- 34:36Speaker 1: family and my friends and my pastor, which is great.
- 34:40Speaker 1: I'm sure he's all for it. I have nothing against
- 34:42Speaker 1: making out, but it feels weird. Ben. I did a
- 34:46Speaker 1: watch party on The Bachelor at the Children's Hospital for
- 34:49Speaker 1: my hometowns to celebrate, Like I went back with the
- 34:51Speaker 1: kids that back and I visited and I completely like.
- 34:54Speaker 1: I was like, oh, this is a great idea. Like
- 34:56Speaker 1: we'll tie it into like the same day like Beck
- 34:58Speaker 1: and I. And then I was like, oh my gosh,
- 34:59Speaker 1: I forgot I tell her I love her at the
- 35:00Speaker 1: end of this and like we have a full on
- 35:02Speaker 1: makeout session and I'm sitting there with the kids and
- 35:05Speaker 1: their parents and we're all watching them. I was like,
- 35:07Speaker 1: all right, we could go do something else now, Like
- 35:09Speaker 1: to watch this part, you should definitely go watch it
- 35:11Speaker 1: at Children's Hospital. For the shower scene that I've been
- 35:14Speaker 1: seeing all the previews that you have coming up showers,
- 35:16Speaker 1: I took the one where the showers coming down and
- 35:20Speaker 1: some girl jumps to you and you're holding and you're
- 35:22Speaker 1: ready for this. This is like a spoiler alert. We
- 35:24Speaker 1: had a shower b roll day pickups what, Yes, it
- 35:28Speaker 1: was awesome. That's a lot. I don't mind watching the
- 35:32Speaker 1: shower and strong. Hey, okay, what makes you most likable?
- 35:37Speaker 1: What are you watching yourself? I remember when I was
- 35:40Speaker 1: doing it. There's a couple of things. I was like,
- 35:41Speaker 1: you know what you're you're carrying yourself. Well, you're doing
- 35:43Speaker 1: all right, You're looking at them in the eye, You're
- 35:46Speaker 1: you're intentional by your conversation. Has been nice work? What
- 35:49Speaker 1: is that about you? Um? I think like the one
- 35:53Speaker 1: thing that I tried to do well on my season
- 35:56Speaker 1: was sort of what you were talking about earlier. I
- 35:59Speaker 1: had been through us before, and I had been on
- 36:01Speaker 1: the other side, and I know at times it could
- 36:02Speaker 1: be hard. I know at times it could be challenging
- 36:04Speaker 1: to open up, um, And you actually see that in
- 36:07Speaker 1: the episode. I tried to make everybody feel as comfortable
- 36:10Speaker 1: as they could so that I can get the best
- 36:12Speaker 1: out of them and I can also get the best
- 36:13Speaker 1: out of myself. So I really prided myself on trying
- 36:16Speaker 1: to really relate to them without speaking for them, and
- 36:19Speaker 1: I think there's a fine balance of that. But then
- 36:22Speaker 1: I mean, I also wanted to challenge them and push
- 36:25Speaker 1: them to where it's like I don't want to have
- 36:26Speaker 1: to carry the conversation, but I just feel like making
- 36:29Speaker 1: sure that they were comfortable in our moments together was
- 36:31Speaker 1: very important. That's so poor. That is a couple of secrets. Actually,
- 36:36Speaker 1: I don't know what was it for you why you
- 36:38Speaker 1: were doing uh the show, Ashley or even now and
- 36:41Speaker 1: you go on you know, all these access Hollywood, all
- 36:43Speaker 1: these things you do. What is it that makes you
- 36:45Speaker 1: feel comfortable in front of the cameras m H experience. Yeah,
- 36:50Speaker 1: I was gonna say just being used to it at
- 36:53Speaker 1: this point. Yeah, yeah, I don't really think there's a trick.
- 36:56Speaker 1: It all depends on, like whether it's live or not too.
- 36:59Speaker 1: I thought we did last week with the live premiere
- 37:01Speaker 1: was nerve racking, but tape things are like, oh, you know,
- 37:05Speaker 1: I get to cut that out. I thought you killed
- 37:07Speaker 1: it too, by the way you jured because I sat
- 37:11Speaker 1: in the green room the whole time. I know, I
- 37:14Speaker 1: saw that you liked my Instagram and commented under I
- 37:17Speaker 1: was like, what is this man doing during his live
- 37:19Speaker 1: premiere that he still I wasn't green. I was in
- 37:21Speaker 1: a green room being hit from the Hollywood party until
- 37:24Speaker 1: like my big reveal. So I actually got to sit
- 37:27Speaker 1: and watch the show, and it was it was really cool.
- 37:28Speaker 1: Then you did really well to your super fan was cute?
- 37:31Speaker 1: Oh she was adorable. Yeah. I got about two minutes
- 37:34Speaker 1: two minutes out there, and I made the most of it.
- 37:35Speaker 1: I screamed and I picked her up. He did a
- 37:37Speaker 1: great job. This is a question for both of you. Actually,
- 37:41Speaker 1: I'd love for you to answer this first. Cold Nancy,
- 37:43Speaker 1: say what makes a good bachelor? Olden goes first or
- 37:48Speaker 1: I go first? You know I want you to go first. Oh,
- 37:50Speaker 1: I think approachability makes a really good bachelor. I think
- 37:54Speaker 1: somebody who brings out, somebody who just makes all the
- 37:59Speaker 1: girls as comfortable as possible. And uh, yeah, that's what
- 38:05Speaker 1: I was saying. Honesty that works, That's important. Attractiveness works.
- 38:12Speaker 1: You need that, Um Ben whatever, you guys are you too? Well.
- 38:19Speaker 1: It's interesting you bring that up, because before I left
- 38:22Speaker 1: for filming, I didn't like anything that I do. I
- 38:27Speaker 1: try to do some of the best of my abilities,
- 38:28Speaker 1: and I try to do my homework. So I obviously
- 38:31Speaker 1: watched Ben back. And because was there any other season
- 38:35Speaker 1: that you watched back, I've watched obviously, I watched Aris,
- 38:38Speaker 1: I watched Ben's and I watched Nicks, and one thing
- 38:40Speaker 1: that I realized from talking to all three is like,
- 38:44Speaker 1: you're gonna have your own experience with this and you're
- 38:46Speaker 1: not going to do things perfectly all the time, and
- 38:50Speaker 1: everybody has your unique things. So like, as much as
- 38:53Speaker 1: I wanted to be like, oh, I want to be
- 38:54Speaker 1: like Ben, in this moment, it's like, no, I want
- 38:56Speaker 1: to be Colton. Like I want to be true to
- 38:58Speaker 1: who I am and if I make a mistake, and
- 39:00Speaker 1: if I say something wrong, then I say something wrong,
- 39:01Speaker 1: I'm gonna own it and move on. But what could
- 39:03Speaker 1: you really stay wrong? I don't know. I mean, if
- 39:08Speaker 1: that's the thing is, it's like you, Ken, I could
- 39:10Speaker 1: have done things better though, like you could always do
- 39:12Speaker 1: things better, Like I'm looking back at this, like, oh man,
- 39:15Speaker 1: I could have handled that conversation better. Really, even in
- 39:18Speaker 1: these two episodes. Yeah, I mean, I think there's always
- 39:20Speaker 1: obviously room for improvement, But like, I don't know. I
- 39:23Speaker 1: will say, like I just feel this season I stayed
- 39:27Speaker 1: true to who I was. That's the only thing. I mean.
- 39:30Speaker 1: As you sit there and you talk to these women
- 39:32Speaker 1: and you can walk away going, hey, I'm not done
- 39:34Speaker 1: that perfectly. You know you're not going into these going
- 39:37Speaker 1: I'm gonna be perfect. You're going in saying I'm gonna
- 39:39Speaker 1: be cold in there, I'm gonna be better, I'm gonna
- 39:40Speaker 1: be Ashley, and you hope to walk away feeling that
- 39:43Speaker 1: same way. I think the one thing that you could
- 39:44Speaker 1: do wrong to answer that for both of you, I
- 39:47Speaker 1: think arrogance and a lack of humility. Uh. And this
- 39:52Speaker 1: entitlement comes off terribly on the show, and I think
- 39:56Speaker 1: you can see that. And I think the bachelor Bachelor
- 39:58Speaker 1: I oftentimes struggle with that because they get this big head.
- 40:01Speaker 1: They go into it feeling like they're Prince Charming or
- 40:03Speaker 1: or you know that the Queen of the world, and
- 40:05Speaker 1: it comes off on the show cold and you haven't
- 40:07Speaker 1: shown the yet. I'm still waiting. Here's Here's something I
- 40:10Speaker 1: always bring up on this podcast. I think the best
- 40:12Speaker 1: Bachelor's and Bachelorettes it's how they react to really hard situations.
- 40:15Speaker 1: I was humbled on the show. I got humbled, did
- 40:18Speaker 1: you Yeah? There was there was a moment where, like
- 40:20Speaker 1: I said, coming into it is like I have this
- 40:21Speaker 1: all figured out. I've been on two of these things before,
- 40:24Speaker 1: like watch watch me do what I need to do
- 40:26Speaker 1: and I got Yeah, I was humbled. Huh. I mean
- 40:31Speaker 1: I think that's exciting. I think for me. Uh and
- 40:34Speaker 1: actually tell me if you disagree. I think for me,
- 40:36Speaker 1: that's not exciting to watch. That's good for me to
- 40:38Speaker 1: watch because it means it's real. That's a real moment
- 40:41Speaker 1: humility and being humbled is an authentic, genuine moment that
- 40:44Speaker 1: you can't force or fake. Yeah, I mean, it's just
- 40:50Speaker 1: And that's that's when, like it really got I was
- 40:52Speaker 1: obviously pushed. The most, too, is when things didn't go
- 40:56Speaker 1: my way. It looks like adversity, right, And that's when
- 40:58Speaker 1: you grow the most, is when things don't go your way.
- 41:03Speaker 1: But see, that's that's what everybody thinks, but that's not
- 41:06Speaker 1: always the case. Interesting. Interesting, Alright. My final question for you, Colton,
- 41:13Speaker 1: until I send it over to ash to plug away
- 41:15Speaker 1: for a couple of minutes here is what is the
- 41:19Speaker 1: one thing Colton, now that you're sitting here in week
- 41:23Speaker 1: two and the rest of the season is in front
- 41:25Speaker 1: of you that you've learned from doing this whole experience.
- 41:32Speaker 1: It's hard to pick one. I've learned so much obviously
- 41:35Speaker 1: about myself that it's been so good of my needs
- 41:38Speaker 1: and my wants in my life. But I think just
- 41:41Speaker 1: coming into my own as a person and as a
- 41:44Speaker 1: human being, and I'm still working on how I can
- 41:47Speaker 1: be better. Um, I think we always are. But I
- 41:51Speaker 1: just what this opportunity has done for me in my
- 41:55Speaker 1: personal life and how comfortable I am owning who I
- 42:00Speaker 1: am now has been like the the best thing about it,
- 42:03Speaker 1: hands down. I agree. I agree for you. That's awesome,
- 42:09Speaker 1: really great. Hey uh actually before I simmed over to you,
- 42:13Speaker 1: I do have a question for anybody in the room.
- 42:15Speaker 1: This can be anybody when that we wanted to ask
- 42:17Speaker 1: and nobody knows anything about. Is the Bachelor Mansion going
- 42:20Speaker 1: to be used ever? Again? Yeah? It's fine, Fine, we

- 43:50Speaker 1: another sponsored thing? No, Well, the Bachelor blessed me with um,
- 43:55Speaker 1: you know, obviously hair and makeup. So yeah, so then
- 43:57Speaker 1: you got addicted to what they were giving you Gina. Yeah,
- 44:01Speaker 1: she's awesome. Yeah, Gina is the show's hair and makeup. Um,
- 44:05Speaker 1: and she did an amazing job with all like the

- 44:42Speaker 1: They've been very obvious that they're together. He was on
- 44:45Speaker 1: the show about a month ago now and he got
- 44:48Speaker 1: a lot of giggles out of his system but never
- 44:50Speaker 1: said why he was giggly. And uh, I think they've
- 44:54Speaker 1: been together for a bit. Do you know exactly how long?
- 44:58Speaker 1: I think they've been together for a bit too, But
- 45:01Speaker 1: I don't, Honestly, I don't know, and as somebody who's
- 45:05Speaker 1: speculating on my um relationship right now, I feel like
- 45:09Speaker 1: when they are comfortable to make their official announcement. Although
- 45:12Speaker 1: I feel like it's happened because they've been all over
- 45:14Speaker 1: each other on social media, you know, I mean, good
- 45:17Speaker 1: for them. He seems very happy from what I've seen
- 45:19Speaker 1: on her, she seems very happy. They are both good people.
- 45:22Speaker 1: So I hope have you hung out with them? Yeah? Together? No,
- 45:26Speaker 1: I have not. What is the tattoo on your arm?
- 45:31Speaker 1: I have a tattoo eleven and then I have a
- 45:33Speaker 1: cross on my wrist. What's Jeremiah? What does it mean?
- 45:37Speaker 1: And it's like hope for a future and it's been
- 45:41Speaker 1: something that I've always stuck with since football is God
- 45:44Speaker 1: has a plan for you, and just trust in his
- 45:45Speaker 1: plans and everything. It's almost like everything will happen for
- 45:50Speaker 1: a reason, but just trust in him and you'll be good. Well,
- 45:52Speaker 1: God's on your side right now. Make sure, yeah are
- 46:00Speaker 1: what when was your first kiss? My first kiss was
- 46:04Speaker 1: my freshman year of high school. How old are you
- 46:07Speaker 1: and you're a freshman. I don't know your fourteen? Fourteen?
- 46:10Speaker 1: So fourteen? Okay? Tell us about it? Um. I was
- 46:13Speaker 1: watching a movie laying down. You had a girl over
- 46:16Speaker 1: to watch a movie when you're fourteen. Um, I don't
- 46:20Speaker 1: remember what movie was playing because obviously on my first kiss,
- 46:22Speaker 1: so that's all I remember from uh and it was
- 46:26Speaker 1: really awkward, really bad, but yeah, it just wasn't It
- 46:31Speaker 1: wasn't like the best Okay, was it sloppy that she
- 46:34Speaker 1: used tongue or something like too much? You know? It
- 46:36Speaker 1: was just like a quick peck and then like an
- 46:37Speaker 1: awkward like staring at each other's that just happened. Are
- 46:42Speaker 1: you going to give Heather her first kiss this season? Um?
- 46:46Speaker 1: You never know. I mean there's obviously more conversations that
- 46:49Speaker 1: need to be had, and um, if anybody understands where
- 46:54Speaker 1: she's coming from and how hard it was for it,
- 46:56Speaker 1: open up. It's me, trust me. Yeah, I know right,
- 46:58Speaker 1: you get it. You guys want to understanding. My last
- 47:02Speaker 1: question is the feature of the Hannah and Kaylin duel.
- 47:08Speaker 1: These two are obviously going to go at it. Fantastic
- 47:12Speaker 1: decisions on castings parts for this drama. I do not
- 47:16Speaker 1: read spoilers. I do not know if they go on
- 47:18Speaker 1: a two on one, but I'm assuming they do because
- 47:21Speaker 1: there couldn't be a better two on one. They're gonna
- 47:24Speaker 1: beat my two on one for sure. Yeah. Um, I
- 47:28Speaker 1: think it's gonna be interesting. It's gonna be interesting for
- 47:30Speaker 1: you guys to like really watch the dynamic of that
- 47:33Speaker 1: all happen, because it was very intriguing for me as well.
- 47:37Speaker 1: And just keep in mind, like and you know this,
- 47:40Speaker 1: producers don't tell you what's going on in the house,
- 47:43Speaker 1: so you get to hear and experience things from what
- 47:47Speaker 1: they tell you. And there's obviously a lot of conversations
- 47:50Speaker 1: that that happen. So my point of view on this
- 47:53Speaker 1: right now is that, um, Hannah is made out to
- 47:56Speaker 1: look like the more dramatic girl, the one that's a
- 47:58Speaker 1: little bit more high strung, a little bit more emotional,
- 48:00Speaker 1: and Caitlin's really chill. I always find that on the show,
- 48:04Speaker 1: the girls who are chill end up winning out. But
- 48:06Speaker 1: I'm not really sure you ever heard like like less
- 48:08Speaker 1: is More. I'm a believer in less is More, but
- 48:11Speaker 1: I don't I can't speak to who is I think
- 48:14Speaker 1: tuning in because I don't want to say anything that
- 48:16Speaker 1: you take out of that people take out of context
- 48:18Speaker 1: because it hasn't played back yet. But you will get
- 48:21Speaker 1: answers and clarity to that, and I think you'll It's
- 48:23Speaker 1: just it was also an interesting dynamic for me to
- 48:26Speaker 1: have to deal with too, and and really like figure
- 48:29Speaker 1: out and ask the right questions. Okay, okay. So and
- 48:32Speaker 1: then I have a more last question, now that you
- 48:33Speaker 1: brought this up. How close was Hannah to really getting
- 48:37Speaker 1: the acts on that one on one very Yeah? If
- 48:43Speaker 1: it was later in the season, would you just let
- 48:45Speaker 1: her go? No? And I think I think what I
- 48:47Speaker 1: realized too after after our date was I feel like,
- 48:53Speaker 1: you know, sort of what you were saying earlier, is like,
- 48:55Speaker 1: you know, how awkward and silent time and making toasts
- 49:00Speaker 1: and how intimidating that can be. I didn't because I'm
- 49:03Speaker 1: coming from the two previous so I'm used to it.
- 49:06Speaker 1: I'm ready to go. I'm like, okay, this is easy.
- 49:08Speaker 1: You should you should be like, this is her first
- 49:10Speaker 1: time being filmed doing something, and I forgot. I forgot
- 49:13Speaker 1: about that when the toast that I would just like hide,
- 49:17Speaker 1: I'd be like, do not look at me, do not
- 49:18Speaker 1: ask me to do the toast. I That's when I blink. Yeah,
- 49:22Speaker 1: So what I mean, I don't know, Ben? What what
- 49:25Speaker 1: was your Ben obviously was a Master toaster. Yeah, what
- 49:28Speaker 1: do you mean whinning doubt? Just compliment Like that's my
- 49:32Speaker 1: whole thing is like went in to make words, speaking
- 49:35Speaker 1: of fluff and taking a high quality skincarey teens. Actually,
- 49:40Speaker 1: our listeners out there all about bio clarity. Ben. This

- 50:31Speaker 1: soft and bent. You look younger than you ever have.

- 51:27Speaker 1: I put on my face mask. It's a beautiful thing
- 51:30Speaker 1: and I love doing it. I'm trying to do three
- 51:33Speaker 1: face masks a week because my mama told me it's
- 51:36Speaker 1: the best thing for me, and Ashley agrees as well.

- 52:26Speaker 1: were talking about before the break. I don't think I
- 52:29Speaker 1: fluff words. It's it's really easy to give the toast.
- 52:31Speaker 1: You look at the woman in the eyes, you call
- 52:32Speaker 1: them beautiful because they are. You say there's compliment, and
- 52:36Speaker 1: you look at them and you say, I know this
- 52:37Speaker 1: is hard, I know this is difficult. None of this
- 52:41Speaker 1: is easy. This is all weird for each one of
- 52:43Speaker 1: us in this room. I forgot that, Like I really
- 52:46Speaker 1: didn't have that perspective. I don't know. I felt like
- 52:50Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, I want this one to go
- 52:51Speaker 1: really well, like it's the first one. And I think
- 52:53Speaker 1: that was the first time where I was like, oh,
- 52:55Speaker 1: I don't have this all figured out, because that was
- 52:58Speaker 1: like the moment where I'm like, isn't one on ones
- 53:00Speaker 1: supposed to go great? Like when the ones are supposed
- 53:01Speaker 1: to be like showing for sure, here's your rose, like
- 53:03Speaker 1: we have a great connection, and that wasn't the case.
- 53:06Speaker 1: And that was like the first time I'm like, oh, boy,
- 53:08Speaker 1: like right off the bat, here we go, like I
- 53:11Speaker 1: don't have this thing figured out? Did you try to
- 53:13Speaker 1: lead the conversation more than we saw? It was almost
- 53:15Speaker 1: like you're waiting for her, But I was because I
- 53:17Speaker 1: was I want to, like, just as much as I
- 53:19Speaker 1: want to be challenging in a relationship, I wanted to
- 53:21Speaker 1: challenge her to and really see what, you know, what
- 53:27Speaker 1: she brought to the relationship. All Right, Well, if I
- 53:31Speaker 1: had to say who I think your favorite is at
- 53:33Speaker 1: this point, and Ben, I'm going to ask you who
- 53:35Speaker 1: you think his favorite is at this point, I would
- 53:38Speaker 1: say it was Hannah g You're like all up in
- 53:41Speaker 1: Handahgee's girl. Yeah, I mean you're basing that off of
- 53:47Speaker 1: the first in the first two episodes. Yeah, I mean yeah,
- 53:52Speaker 1: Like I said, it was all it was all chemistry,
- 53:54Speaker 1: chemistry and connection from very early on. Alright, Ben, who
- 53:58Speaker 1: do you think he's into right now? I mean, Hannah
- 54:01Speaker 1: Gee's gotta be it? From from episode two, I mean
- 54:03Speaker 1: episode two, there's no question my mind. When Cold looks
- 54:05Speaker 1: in those those big old eyes of Hannah Geees, he
- 54:08Speaker 1: sees a future will change. We don't know. But when
- 54:13Speaker 1: we do know is Colton survived his season to The
- 54:17Speaker 1: Bachelor because he's in studious with us today. So far,
- 54:21Speaker 1: here's my critique of view. You're doing great, don't change.
- 54:25Speaker 1: You're a good man with a good heart, who who's
- 54:27Speaker 1: gonna make an amazing difference in this world, way past
- 54:31Speaker 1: this show that's gonna be way bigger than this show
- 54:33Speaker 1: ever was. So far on The Bachelor, you've been sensitive,
- 54:37Speaker 1: you've been kind, you've been supportive, you've been honest, and
- 54:40Speaker 1: I know that you cry, which is important to me.
- 54:42Speaker 1: I think there's a Bachelor of a few years ago
- 54:44Speaker 1: that said they've never cried during the show. I said, well,
- 54:46Speaker 1: that's just ridiculous. The world I forget. But if you
- 54:50Speaker 1: don't cry during this show, I don't know if you
- 54:53Speaker 1: have a heart. I don't know if you didn't, it
- 54:57Speaker 1: might have been Colton with that. Actually, I really support
- 55:01Speaker 1: you coming in. Thank you for taking time. I know
- 55:03Speaker 1: you're a busy guy. I know you've got a lot
- 55:05Speaker 1: going on, um, but thank you for coming in and
- 55:07Speaker 1: talking with us. If you ever want to stop by again,
- 55:09Speaker 1: I bet we could find some time for you. Until then,
- 55:11Speaker 1: we'll just be talking about you behind your back. Perfect.
- 55:14Speaker 1: I tuned in. I know, I know what what word
- 55:16Speaker 1: did you say that I used? Too much? Awesome? Yeah?
- 55:20Speaker 1: I know I need to extend my vocabulary. Actually funny,
- 55:23Speaker 1: like a little behind the scenes thing. Caitlin um, my
- 55:27Speaker 1: producer on the show, bought me a vocabulary book, like
- 55:29Speaker 1: a word book. That's not that, but it is like
- 55:34Speaker 1: I continue to grow my vocabulary, like I I was
- 55:36Speaker 1: becoming a better person every day I do this podcast.
- 55:39Speaker 1: I think I need that book. Do you want to
- 55:41Speaker 1: borrow it? Maybe it actually gives you, like it shows
- 55:44Speaker 1: you how to use it in a sentence too. So
- 55:46Speaker 1: it's like, have you really incorporated a lot of those words?
- 55:49Speaker 1: Tried to? We had daily words where it's like I
- 55:51Speaker 1: want to squeeze this word into this day or a
- 55:55Speaker 1: synonym book. Yeah yeah, all right? Actually your favorite brand
- 56:02Speaker 1: out there? Uh? You you wear bras? I think it's
- 56:07Speaker 1: really up to him, but you really love this bra
- 56:10Speaker 1: that we're gonna talk about right now called Third Love.
- 56:12Speaker 1: Actually take it away. Okay, So I'm gonna tell you
- 56:14Speaker 1: why Third Love makes the perfect fit. They use millions
- 56:18Speaker 1: of real women's measurements, and Third Love designs its bras
- 56:22Speaker 1: with breast size and shape in mind for an impeccable
- 56:26Speaker 1: fit in an incredible field. Did you hear that it's
- 56:28Speaker 1: not just a size, it's also based on shape. They
- 56:33Speaker 1: have more sizes than any other brand. Third Love is
- 56:36Speaker 1: the industry leader with seventy sizes, including their signature half
- 56:41Speaker 1: cup sizes, which my sister and I learned that we
- 56:45Speaker 1: were once we started wearing Third Love bras. Quality isn't
- 56:50Speaker 1: every stitch details make the difference from premium fabrics to
- 56:54Speaker 1: excellent design convenience. It's better than going to the mall
- 56:59Speaker 1: and get a too for getting fitted for a bra,
- 57:01Speaker 1: because you can actually just go online and find your
- 57:04Speaker 1: fit in thirty seconds with their online fit finder quiz.
- 57:08Speaker 1: Then you order and you try at home and if
- 57:10Speaker 1: you don't like it, returns are like no problem, but
- 57:14Speaker 1: you're probably not even gonna have to return in the
- 57:16Speaker 1: first place. So they have cup sizes a through age,
- 57:19Speaker 1: and bands up to forty eight of women falling between
- 57:24Speaker 1: those standard cup sizes, so Third Love invented the half
- 57:27Speaker 1: cup size for that. And I just bought my new
- 57:31Speaker 1: cotton collection bra. It's so comfortable, it's like I'm not
- 57:36Speaker 1: even wearing one, so soft and smooth. Third Love knows
- 57:41Speaker 1: how to fit a bra to every woman, and our
- 57:45Speaker 1: listeners are going to get off their first order. Just

- 58:03Speaker 1: about her bra and everything great about it. This podcast
- 58:07Speaker 1: is really kind of like broken through. I feel actually
- 58:09Speaker 1: so close and connected with you that we can talk
- 58:11Speaker 1: about bras, and I think we've talked about tampons and
- 58:14Speaker 1: cons before on this thing, and it just doesn't feel
- 58:16Speaker 1: weird anymore. I'm really happy that two years into this
- 58:19Speaker 1: this is where we're at. But we've gotten our questions
- 58:21Speaker 1: out of the way. You're probably sick of you know
- 58:23Speaker 1: where actionized minds are. But our fans out there there's
- 58:26Speaker 1: a Facebook group for the Almost Famous podcast that's active
- 58:31Speaker 1: and ready to ask Colton all the questions they've been wondering.
- 58:35Speaker 1: Ashley has the questions in front of her. Ashley after
- 58:39Speaker 1: it there, Colton from Katie, what is your biggest turn
- 58:44Speaker 1: off when you're getting to know a girl. I'm I'm
- 58:47Speaker 1: a hygiene guy, like brush your teeth, put some deater,
- 58:51Speaker 1: and on, shower every once in a while. Does she
- 58:53Speaker 1: have to shower every day? Uh? No, it just I
- 58:56Speaker 1: mean smell decent, okay, because eyes are so hygiene. Um
- 59:02Speaker 1: from Sam, how long? I mean, how does it differ
- 59:06Speaker 1: from being one of the guys on back to season
- 59:08Speaker 1: to being the leading man? Are the emotions similar? Well,
- 59:14Speaker 1: it changes because I hand the roses out instead of
- 59:16Speaker 1: being handed a rose, So that's so that's nice. Um.
- 59:22Speaker 1: Are the emotions similar, No, but they're they're different in
- 59:27Speaker 1: are in it just in a different way. But yes,
- 59:30Speaker 1: it's as emotional, just in a different way hold up
- 59:33Speaker 1: time out that that did not do it for me.
- 59:36Speaker 1: Why are they similar? No, they're just different in a
- 59:39Speaker 1: different way. What do you mean answer the question you
- 59:41Speaker 1: just said, No, they're different and different. We read the questions.
- 59:47Speaker 1: Are the emotions similar? Like what what are the motions?
- 59:52Speaker 1: Like what, let's go into a little bit emotions not motions. Emotions, Yeah,
- 59:57Speaker 1: but what are the two different emotions you felt during?
- 59:59Speaker 1: The emotions are different because you're on the other side,
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: like you're you're sitting there and you have to break
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: up with women. Yeah, there's well, not only guilt, but
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: it's just like the trust factor. Are you trusting your gut?
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: Are you really? Like you have to be confident And
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: you said that to me too, Ben, And one of
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: our chat is like, you just have to be confident
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: in the decisions that you make because it's going to
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: eat you up. Um. So like, then there's always that
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: emotion that's in it. But then it just was an
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: emotional roller coaster because you leave these dates where it's like, oh,
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: this is amazing, I'm on a high, and then you
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: find something out about another relationship You're like, oh, this
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: could be pivotal. So it's like the ups and the
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: downs are higher when you're the lead. Did you bet
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: all feel weird golden when? Because there's two two elements here,
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: there's a deleted scene that you and I men. I
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: get why it's deleted. You had a lot going on,
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: there's a big show in front of us, but I did.
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: We sat down. I was like, hey man, you're I
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: know you've got a heart on you, like it's gonna
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: hurt to break up with these girls. And you're like, well,
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: then how do I do it? It's like you just
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: do it like and it sounds like shallow and it
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: just sounds simple. But once you feel it, you almost
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: you think it through and make sure it's the right thing.
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: But you just got to do it and be confident,
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: especially early on. Was there ever a moment this season
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: that you you let somebody go and you go, oh no, wait,
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: that's so weird? That was our next question from Laurie weird.
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: I like Laurie well, she basically she asked if that
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: happened on night one, but in general or night one,
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: I tried. I actually tried my hardest. I remained confident
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: in all the decisions that I made in going into
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: every Rose ceremony or any time that I was about
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: to let somebody go. I really sat with it and
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: I really let it process through, Like how does this change?
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: You know? How does this change moving forward? How I feel?
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: And I really owned it, like I made sure that
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: I sat with it long enough before I made any decisions.
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: So did you know a couple of hours going into
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: the rose ceremony for the most part, Yes, yep. This
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: is from Matt. He says, I feel like all the
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: virginity talk makes me wonder if these girls are there
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: for the right reasons. Do you feel the same. I
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: think I'm going to interpret that by saying, do you
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: think that some of them are objectifying you and making
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: it seem like they just want to take it? I
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: will say this, Um, if this was the and I
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: don't talk about this last I don't. I don't want.
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: I don't want to come off like weird when I says,
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: but if this was a bachelorette and could you imagine
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: if a like a guy walked up and I had
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: fun with it? But could you imagine if a guy
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: walked up with like a cherry and popped it? Like? No,
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: I thought that was just if the roles were reversed.
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: It's just a much different conversation that we'd be having
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: right now. We talked about that last week. Do can
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: I have fun with it and play along with it? Absolutely,
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: because that's just like, that's just who I am. Um.
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: I think will we get into more of this serious
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: side of it for me later on and in the
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: later episodes when it's appropriate for me to share that.
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: But um, I don't think the virginity talk correlates with
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: the right reasons per se. I think it just relates
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: with like when it is appropriate in our relationship to
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: discuss it. Creepy would it be if I was on
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: a season with Ashley? Ashley was the bachelor at and
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: I walked up and I said, I don't know what's
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: going to happen, but I wouldn't mind taking that virginity
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: That is so creepy for it. I agree, And it's
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: just like the double standard that we're in with society
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: and people can make their jokes and make their and
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: I think, like that's I guess the hardest part two
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: is just a punch line and stuff. So um yeah,
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: all right, this question is for Molly. What advice would
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: you give to other young men who are choosing to
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: remain a virgin in adulthood. Um, I think I really
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: struggled with owning who I was as a person, and
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: I think right now with being the Bachelor and having
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: if there's any silver lining in all of this, it's
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: just that I hope that the young men out there
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: see it as an example of, like, there's nothing wrong
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: with waiting, and there's nothing wrong with like losing it
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: whenever you it's your personal choices, your body, your choice.
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: But I just hope that people see that there's nothing
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: wrong with waiting and it's okay to be different, and
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: in fact, I encourage people to be different. I encourage
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: people to stand up for what they believe in and
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: own who they are exactly. And my last question from
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: Facebook is from Danny and it says, is there any
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: specific part of the show that you're super nervous will
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: or will not air? Mm hmm here's what here. Yeah,
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: Here's something that's always been on my mind. And I
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: think people forget this too, is like I'm going through
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: this and my family is super excited that I had
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: this opportunity to find love and like be the Bachelor,
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: but like my Grandma watches this, My little cousins watch this. Um,
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: these women in these ladies, fathers and mothers watch this.
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: So I just it's in my hopes that it stays
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: respectful through and through and it is remained of a
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: show finding love instead of chasing a virginity. Yeah. I
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: hope that's that's that would be my My only thing
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: that I would be nervous upon is like the tastefulness
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: towards the end um and dealing like the fantasist week. Yeah,
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: could you give us a little taste though, Colden, you
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: probably get a pretty good sense of where this goes
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: and what the dates are structured around, what the conversations
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: were like. Um, do you think it changes at some point?
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: I mean we're two weeks in. Obviously we love the Bachelor.
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: We love the Bachelor. This is a show that we
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: have a podcast on. I would like to see it
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: if my we've talked about last week, we'll talk about
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: it this week. I would like to see it change
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: gears and go away from just talks about you being
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: a virgin and whoever else is a virgin. Do you
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: feel like it does? Would you get a sense that
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: it does? I will say yes it does. Um. Week
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: four probably is going to be the most pivotal, I
- 1:06:08Speaker 1: think in terms of that gives people a better understanding,
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: and it sort of goes away after that, like it's
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: just it's one of the things you were talking about earlier.
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: It's like how many times does you have to address this?
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: How many times you have to talk about it? And
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: I think it finally gets to a point where it's
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: like everybody has their answers, everybody has their clarity that
- 1:06:22Speaker 1: it's just like not a topic anymore. All right. People
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: are excited about that. I'm sure, yeah, because I mean,
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: you brought up a good point. It's like, well why
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: do you keep asking? It's like, well, just because one
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: person asked doesn't mean they get to see that or
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: here out of my mouth. So yes, I was on
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: repeat a lot of the times throughout this season. I
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: prepared myself for that. I knew that I was going
- 1:06:41Speaker 1: to have to talk about it. I just wonder if
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: it's like why it's making the cut so many times.
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: I don't know. That's I mean, it's not up to me. Hey,
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: that's our Facebook questions. We appreciate our Facebook group supporters

- 1:12:20Speaker 1: rocks in with an entourage of people and they pointed
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: to the Almost Famous podcast and they thought this would

- 1:12:44Speaker 1: After being eliminated on night one, she's now on the
- 1:12:48Speaker 1: podcast we know her as Sloth Girl. Are you out there,
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: fie guys? How are you doing? Girl? Good? Hi? What's
- 1:12:56Speaker 1: your name? I know it, but tell everybody my name's
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: al se Alston Alex. How does it feel being known
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: as the sloth Girl this week? It's fine, I'll take it.
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: It's definitely new carry stories for me. But I guess
- 1:13:13Speaker 1: it's kind of cute, sounds kind of sexty, so I
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: can work. Girl. Is it weird that you've got eliminary
- 1:13:19Speaker 1: night one and yet you are still one of the
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: most talked about girls? Um? I mean, as it makes sense,
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: it's because it's such a strong gimmick. Um, So no,
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: it's not weird. It is just a little funny though,
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: because so many people, including cold and I'm sure I
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: do not know my actual names, which is just so
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: funny to me. But yeah, no, it's been nice so far.
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: It's been kind of cute. There's been some love and
- 1:13:44Speaker 1: then there's been some negative comments as well, so it's
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: been all across the board with the whole slow gimmick.
- 1:13:49Speaker 1: You know, we've recently from the Bachelor season, we've had
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: Joe grocery Store. Joe go from being eliminated on Night
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: one to Dancing with the Stars. Do you see yourself
- 1:13:58Speaker 1: from Dancing with the Stars. Um, so, I'm not really
- 1:14:03Speaker 1: the best dancers. Um, not to that's really a factor here.
- 1:14:07Speaker 1: But so when I'm getting the comparison with So, I mean,
- 1:14:10Speaker 1: obviously I love that comparison. It's still flattering. At the
- 1:14:12Speaker 1: same time, I think it's just so vastly different. Um.
- 1:14:17Speaker 1: From my understanding, what Joe did was he was one
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: on the show and was like, I like, you look
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: so beautiful, and that was it, and that America just
- 1:14:25Speaker 1: fell in love with him was just so fascinting to
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: whereas with me, it's a totally different story. I went
- 1:14:31Speaker 1: up there and I was a slot that I was
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: hanging from trees. It's a totally different ends of the spectrum. Um.
- 1:14:37Speaker 1: I do apologist for going up that candon there, but
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: of course I definitely opens the Dancer with the Stars
- 1:14:42Speaker 1: not the best dancer. But you know, we'll see. Well,
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: do you think that your gimmick failed you in the
- 1:14:50Speaker 1: end or do you think you would have been eliminated
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: either way? Oh that's a different question. Um. Well, exacinitely
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: didn't fail me because I did not get a rose.
- 1:14:59Speaker 1: But at the same time, I did talk to Colson
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: and it was just me without the costume. It was
- 1:15:05Speaker 1: as on Colson and I just word bonded all over him. So,
- 1:15:10Speaker 1: knowing me and how excited, I guess that would have
- 1:15:13Speaker 1: happened regardless, and I probably would have been something just
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: is weird, but a little more subtle if I did
- 1:15:20Speaker 1: not have the costume on so prost the Coles and
- 1:15:23Speaker 1: even awesome dude. But I think and if I somehow
- 1:15:26Speaker 1: was able to continue on in the show, I don't
- 1:15:29Speaker 1: think it would have worked out in that kind of
- 1:15:32Speaker 1: way that makes maybe even kind of harsh towards myself.
- 1:15:34Speaker 1: Maybe not, but and there's no way to tell, but
- 1:15:38Speaker 1: knowing me, I'd be kind of freaking no matter what,
- 1:15:40Speaker 1: not work. How does it feel like the feeling of
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: going home at night? One, it's obviously light out. We
- 1:15:46Speaker 1: saw on TV you walk in its dark and then
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: you walk out its light. What was your what was
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: the emotions? I was tired, Oh my god, I was tired.
- 1:15:55Speaker 1: And it was actually my birthday that day, which is needed.
- 1:15:59Speaker 1: Everything was better. And remember as I was leaving one
- 1:16:03Speaker 1: of the girls. She was not being patty whatsoever. She'son
- 1:16:05Speaker 1: sweet like well happy birthday, like a nice slide home.
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, thank you. That's great. Um,
- 1:16:12Speaker 1: it was so talking that I think it was okay.
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: But you know what movies when you're outside and everything
- 1:16:18Speaker 1: just it's just such disaster and then it starts raining
- 1:16:21Speaker 1: and then it's like they can't constantly get any worse.
- 1:16:23Speaker 1: It was that kind of feeling, which is why I
- 1:16:25Speaker 1: was like, all right, well I'm gonna go home now,
- 1:16:28Speaker 1: and so it like that, Um yeah, does that answer
- 1:16:31Speaker 1: your question? And my word vomiting again because I feel
- 1:16:33Speaker 1: like I am No, Alex, You're doing great. Don't be
- 1:16:37Speaker 1: don't be nervous. This is just a podcast. It's Ashley Night.
- 1:16:40Speaker 1: We just hang out and talk to each other. We
- 1:16:41Speaker 1: were a word vomit on each other all day and
- 1:16:44Speaker 1: people still listen. Alex, we really appreciate coming on the podcast.
- 1:16:48Speaker 1: We hope to see the sloth around more. Ashley. I
- 1:16:51Speaker 1: know you're wondering this final question, could we and would
- 1:16:56Speaker 1: we see you in paradise? That's the question. That's a
- 1:17:01Speaker 1: fair question. I'm definitely open to anything. I'm probably just
- 1:17:05Speaker 1: going at it. I don't really know what I'm doing
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: with this kind of stuff, but I'm so open to anything.
- 1:17:10Speaker 1: I'm definitely single, so I don't see why not, but
- 1:17:14Speaker 1: I can't confirm anything before. Oh so that sounds like
- 1:17:17Speaker 1: maybe you're not open to it because maybe you have
- 1:17:19Speaker 1: a bullet friend. No, I'm open to it, of first,
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: I am. It sounds very fun. I heard I don't
- 1:17:25Speaker 1: like him that much. He can go, he can we
- 1:17:28Speaker 1: very quickly. He's not back. Hey, Alex, thank you so
- 1:17:33Speaker 1: much for coming on. Welcome to Almost Famous podcast and
- 1:17:36Speaker 1: we will talk to you soon. Perfect. Thanks to go
- 1:17:39Speaker 1: talk to you, to talk to you, Ashley. To close
- 1:17:44Speaker 1: up the podcast today, we have a couple listener emails.
- 1:17:49Speaker 1: What what an episode? I mean again, we bring Colton
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: the Bachelor on the episode, and we still have reader
- 1:17:56Speaker 1: emails or listener emails. Ashley, I'm gonna read the first
- 1:17:59Speaker 1: one to you. It's from Anonymous. We love Anonymous, it's
- 1:18:04Speaker 1: our favorite. They say, too much virginity talk. Well, we
- 1:18:07Speaker 1: couldn't agree more. I like to tell you all discussed
- 1:18:10Speaker 1: how over we are about talking about Colton's you know what,
- 1:18:13Speaker 1: I don't even like saying it. They said. Also, I
- 1:18:16Speaker 1: liked how Ben, I appreciate that pointed out how disgustity
- 1:18:19Speaker 1: it was with the girls saying that they wanted to
- 1:18:21Speaker 1: take it. However, I just want to point out one thing.
- 1:18:24Speaker 1: Ben brought it up again in the same joking tone
- 1:18:27Speaker 1: that the show does. Colton is not in bed with anybody,
- 1:18:30Speaker 1: and it's really and it really aggravated me. I just
- 1:18:33Speaker 1: want to point out the stark hypocrisy there so that
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: hopefully I don't have to hear it again. Hey, I
- 1:18:40Speaker 1: don't remember exactly what you're talking about. I'm sure I
- 1:18:45Speaker 1: meant it in the best ways. We fill two hours
- 1:18:48Speaker 1: or an hour and a half of talking and sometimes
- 1:18:50Speaker 1: things just don't come out the way you desire. And
- 1:18:53Speaker 1: so with that, I hope you keep listening. I'll probably
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: make him at again, and for that I apologize. Then
- 1:19:01Speaker 1: we have another one from Megan. She says, I wanted
- 1:19:05Speaker 1: to say thank you for bringing attention to the fact
- 1:19:07Speaker 1: that it seems like the show is on the borderline
- 1:19:09Speaker 1: of shaming him for his virginity. I'm still a virgin myself,
- 1:19:12Speaker 1: and it brings out so many insecurity to see someone
- 1:19:15Speaker 1: constantly talked about like he's a freak. M I think
- 1:19:21Speaker 1: a freak is a it's a strong term. I I mean,
- 1:19:23Speaker 1: I think talking about even being a virgin isn't necessarily
- 1:19:27Speaker 1: calling him a freak. But hey, whatever you want. Hey,
- 1:19:30Speaker 1: this one from Cindy. Colton premier says I hated the
- 1:19:32Speaker 1: premier of Colton Season. I felt the live watch parties
- 1:19:35Speaker 1: were too much to keep popping over to. It really
- 1:19:37Speaker 1: took me out of what was happening with Colton and
- 1:19:39Speaker 1: the women. By the time we got to the road ceremony,
- 1:19:42Speaker 1: I could not even remember any of the women and
- 1:19:44Speaker 1: was not invested at all. And who he picked. Hey,
- 1:19:48Speaker 1: we've talked about is Cindy. Episode one is always bad.
- 1:19:51Speaker 1: I don't think there's ever been an episode one I've
- 1:19:52Speaker 1: watched and I've been like, that is incredible. It's nice
- 1:19:55Speaker 1: to meet the people, but you really start meeting him.
- 1:19:57Speaker 1: I feel like this week on one, week two we
- 1:19:59Speaker 1: really got to know the woman a little better. So
- 1:20:01Speaker 1: I'd say week one you just kind of do it.
- 1:20:03Speaker 1: You get it over with, it's the entry, and then
- 1:20:05Speaker 1: you really get into the season. I get what you're saying, Cindy.
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: It's tough. You know that the show might have done
- 1:20:10Speaker 1: itself a little bit of an injustice, but we enjoyed
- 1:20:13Speaker 1: doing it. Ashley and Jerry did a great job. The
- 1:20:14Speaker 1: rest of the team did a good job. But from
- 1:20:17Speaker 1: here on out, I think we can all promise no
- 1:20:19Speaker 1: more live Watch parties. Act we we gotta, I know,
- 1:20:25Speaker 1: and we're still not done yet. We have a touch
- 1:20:27Speaker 1: on Ari and Lauren's wedding. I think we would have
- 1:20:30Speaker 1: brought that up earlier in the show if we really
- 1:20:32Speaker 1: had some scoop, but we don't. UM. I just saw
- 1:20:35Speaker 1: on Instagram a lot of our producer friends um attending
- 1:20:39Speaker 1: the wedding. Everybody seemed so ecstatic about it. Chris Harrison
- 1:20:42Speaker 1: posted some nice posts. Uh, Lauren's dress was beautiful, there
- 1:20:46Speaker 1: is no baby bump in site with a dress, and
- 1:20:51Speaker 1: their venue was just as magical and Twilight esque as
- 1:20:54Speaker 1: Lauren and are painted on the in depth episode with them.
- 1:20:59Speaker 1: They they are a really wonderful couple. Lauren is absolutely gorgeous.
- 1:21:03Speaker 1: Or already hit a home run, already cares about her
- 1:21:06Speaker 1: so much so she hit a home run and return
- 1:21:08Speaker 1: Their lives are just getting started thinking about this. They
- 1:21:10Speaker 1: just got married, and before we know, we're gonna be
- 1:21:12Speaker 1: talking about them having their baby and starting this life together.
- 1:21:15Speaker 1: We don't have a lot of scoop. I'm sure there's
- 1:21:17Speaker 1: a couple of kisses in't here and there from somebody
- 1:21:18Speaker 1: in the crowd and whatever, but we just don't know it.
- 1:21:21Speaker 1: We're gonna keep digging. But either way, let's just celebrate them.
- 1:21:24Speaker 1: All the listeners out there, make sure you tweet them, um,
- 1:21:27Speaker 1: but tag the almost famous podcast in your tweets and
- 1:21:30Speaker 1: let them know that this podcast loves and adores them. Next,
- 1:21:34Speaker 1: we brought up with Colton uh, and we gotta bring
- 1:21:37Speaker 1: it up here. Um. We're still digging into the details here,
- 1:21:41Speaker 1: but the Caitlin Jason scenario, it would be crazy if
- 1:21:43Speaker 1: we didn't talk about it. They're a thing, right, I mean,
- 1:21:46Speaker 1: I'm that's what I'm seeing Like this. This is not
- 1:21:48Speaker 1: just like they went on their date that was highlighted
- 1:21:51Speaker 1: and talked about on Caitlin's podcast, But this is like
- 1:21:54Speaker 1: now a thing. Yeah. So they had a scheduled first
- 1:22:00Speaker 1: date and that was supposedly in Denver on Saturday, But
- 1:22:04Speaker 1: I think we all feel like their first date may
- 1:22:07Speaker 1: have been months ago. I'm not I'm trying to figure
- 1:22:13Speaker 1: this out from what Colton said, what we hear, they
- 1:22:15Speaker 1: probably have talked for a while, but now, for whatever reason,
- 1:22:20Speaker 1: it's time to publicize it. So let's call this their
- 1:22:23Speaker 1: first official publicist publicized date. Yeah, we'll say that this
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: is the beginning of a maybe a relationship. This was
- 1:22:32Speaker 1: this was their weekend. This is the start, you know,
- 1:22:35Speaker 1: the crazy part, Ash and I want to hear what
- 1:22:37Speaker 1: you think about this is, once you publicly talk about
- 1:22:40Speaker 1: a relationship or showed off on social media, unless you're
- 1:22:43Speaker 1: you're not monogamous, which I know that's a thing that
- 1:22:46Speaker 1: people choose not to be as well. But if you're
- 1:22:48Speaker 1: in a monogamous relationship, once you promote it on social media,
- 1:22:51Speaker 1: you're probably you're pretty much saying like, hey, this is
- 1:22:54Speaker 1: the person I'm dating. Like if Jason Caitlin were trying
- 1:22:58Speaker 1: to just get to know each other, it feels they
- 1:23:00Speaker 1: took the step down to say and we ain't eat
- 1:23:02Speaker 1: anybody else. Oh, apps of freaking lutely. Oh yeah, And
- 1:23:06Speaker 1: I'm really happy for both of them. They seem so happy.
- 1:23:10Speaker 1: They're like giddy. Don't you find them giddy over each other?
- 1:23:15Speaker 1: I mean from watching the instagrams. I was watching Instagram's
- 1:23:17Speaker 1: a little bit ago. Yeah, they seem very giddy. It's
- 1:23:20Speaker 1: you know, it does feel like these Bachelor relationships happen
- 1:23:25Speaker 1: a lot post show. It feels like, you know, you
- 1:23:27Speaker 1: do the show, you get off the show, UM, and
- 1:23:30Speaker 1: you end up kind of relating with somebody. You're meeting somebody.
- 1:23:33Speaker 1: This feels like one UM that has some legs, at
- 1:23:37Speaker 1: least from what we've seen. You gotta be happy for him,
- 1:23:40Speaker 1: you know. We gotta bring up, though, how do you
- 1:23:42Speaker 1: think Sean's feeling. I don't know. I guess we'll ask
- 1:23:46Speaker 1: him next week when he's in studio. Exactly, great tease there.
- 1:23:50Speaker 1: We're gonna have Sean Booth next week in studio talking
- 1:23:53Speaker 1: about everything. I mean, this is an in depth episode.
- 1:23:56Speaker 1: We did it with Ari and Lauren. Um. It's a
- 1:23:59Speaker 1: spinoff off this podcast. It's one that we just want
- 1:24:01Speaker 1: to dive into Sean and Sean alone and hear from
- 1:24:03Speaker 1: his perspective. Uh. You know, we're fans of them all.
- 1:24:07Speaker 1: We like them all. This is obviously not an easy
- 1:24:09Speaker 1: situation because of the public lives that they live. But
- 1:24:15Speaker 1: here's my last question for anybody out there listening. Please
- 1:24:18Speaker 1: write us at been a Ashley. iHeart media dot com.
- 1:24:20Speaker 1: I actually want to hear your opinion, this is gonna
- 1:24:23Speaker 1: be brutal. Does it matter how Sean feels right now?
- 1:24:27Speaker 1: I mean it matters as a person, and it matters
- 1:24:28Speaker 1: to us as friends, and it matters to the people
- 1:24:30Speaker 1: around him, and it matters that we support him. But
- 1:24:34Speaker 1: is there any problem publicizing this relationship? You know what, Ben,
- 1:24:38Speaker 1: That's a fantastic question and one that I don't even
- 1:24:41Speaker 1: have my own opinion formed on right now. Well, we'll

- 1:24:52Speaker 1: you what is the respect level? When do you enter
- 1:24:54Speaker 1: back into relationship? It's something we've talked about in my
