• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Sometimes roses are red flags.
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: Hey everyone, it is Ashley and Ben. We're here with
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: some kind of breaking Bachelor news. HGTV has announced that
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: they're going to be renovating the Bachelor Mansion for a
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: new TV show. Ben, what are your initial thoughts?
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: It's about time?
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Oh really?
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Stop? Oh I'm nostalgic to it.
• 0:30
  Speaker 5: It if you went to the mansion, well you did.
• 0:33
  Speaker 5: We were there with Almoston's podcast. When there's not the
• 0:36
  Speaker 5: pillows and the nice furniture and it's all painted, the
• 0:39
  Speaker 5: house is you know, old, it's beat up a little bit.
• 0:43
  Speaker 5: It needs some refreshing.
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 0:47
  Speaker 5: I don't think I think the I think the question
• 0:49
  Speaker 5: is how much renovation because it does have a lot
• 0:52
  Speaker 5: of character it is, That's what I mean. Yeah, the
• 0:54
  Speaker 5: architecture in there is awesome. I'm not wanting them to
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: like modernize it. I think take away from everything. Yeah,
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: like the Spanish style kind of architecture is beautiful inside
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: and now it just needs some like love.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: I would say, okay, yeah, because I don't want to
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: change the aesthetic. I like the Mediterranean vibe.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: It's very ornate. I like that for this. I can't.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Could you imagine them filming the show and like some black,
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: gray and white millennial you know aesthetic.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: No, that'd be so cold.
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: It would be cold, it wouldn't be unique, it wouldn't
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: be as as magical fantastical as it is today. But
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: I'm imagining the owners of this property don't want that
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: modern aesthetic that if they they enjoy what they've built
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: or what they own.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Because he's a builder, he is a contractor, like he
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: designed that house with his heart, soul and hands.
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so I think this is more of like a
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: freshen up of it, and HGTV is seeing a great
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: opportunity to jump on on board with it.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: I mean, everybody will want to watch.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this is actually a great show. I'm excited for
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: the show, if not excited for the actual aesthetic changing.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: So this is the details that These are the details
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: we have. It's called Renovating the Bachelor Mansion. And Channing Dungee,

• 4:45
  Speaker 3: we're talking about favorite Bachelor Mansion memories and like crazy
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: things that you remember from the house itself, like do
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: you have like, okay, like a toilet clog or anything
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: broke while you were in there.
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: Nothing was broke except for the barbers that we had
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: come by. But I think my craziest memories was just.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, didn't hear them. That's good. I like that. That
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: was nice, Mike, you.
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: Know, going on Ashal TV with your hair all the
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: outside look.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: True story.
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: My mom said.
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: The first thing she said she saw the episode the
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: first episode was did you not have a barber? First thing.
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: I've shared this story like a few times, but I
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: was at the bachelor mansion probably like five hours before
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: the girls are going to show up, so like night one,
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: and I had been out there for probably like two
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: weeks doing like b roll and all that stuff, and
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: I said, hey, you know what it would really help
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: is if I could get a haircut to before tonight,
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: like it would make me look better. And I had
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: to do so much convincing and I was like, I
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: won't feel confident with that one. So they take me
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: to get a haircut. The guy, uh shaves my side
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: so tight that you could see like the white of
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: my head and they had to put black powder in
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: my hair to cover up from the white showing through.
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: On night one, they were all panicking which makes your
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: confidence go absolutely to a zero whenever it's like your
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: hair looks terrible and you're like, wait, I'm about to
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: go on national television.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: It's very bad.
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: So, Mike, I have a question for you. At the
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: Bachelor Mansion was when I was on the Bachelor, and
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: I'm curious if they did the same thing to you.
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: They put up a sign in the bathroom that that said,
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: please stop like relieving yourself in the showers clogging the drains.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Did they do that for you guys?
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: Yes, forever.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Pardon me.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: Theower?
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fine. I pee in the shower are regularly
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: to be honest.
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm glad you just admitted that, But that's not
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: what we're talking about.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: What is going on.
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: Actually, let's explain this to you, all right, I'll start Mike. Actually, no,
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: you know, I'm gonna let Mike explain this to you
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: because he is in sexual education. Okay, yeah, you got there.
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I'm not going to explain that.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: There's a sign.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: This is a great episode so far.
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: No, there's literally a sign. And so, Mike, are you
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: confirming that you all also had the same sign?
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: I am confirming that I did not witness I was
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: not any of that.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: I don't hope in the middle of night and see it.
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: So I'm very happy about that.
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we had a sign that said please stop, you're
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: clogging the rains, and obviously that's a funny little thing
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: to think about. And then everybody shower. There's only I
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: don't know, you guys could tell me, what is there?
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: Two or three showers for everybody that showering?
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: Three I feel.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so like after night one, when everybody moves in,
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: you have twenty some people showering in two or three showers.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Uh, it's it's a mess. It's not easy.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: No, there's one downstairs too, there's one downstairs. Okay, there's
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: four showers that people can shower.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: I would always use that shower because I felt it
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: was the most private because that way you could lock
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: the door, you could go poop and then you could shower.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: No one would smell it, and you do all your
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: private things in a locked door.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no one smell.
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: That's a big deal for Ashley, very secretive about her functions.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I can't imagine.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: You guys must have just blown up the toilets with
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: like no candles. Well, probably within like four months of
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: us being together.
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: Couple, Yeah, Mike, any sorries from the mansion that come
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: to mind, Well, you know, we're talking about this because
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: HGTV just announced that they're doing a renovation show focus
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: on the Bachelor mansion.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: It's a big deal.
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: Bachelor contestants are going to be a part of this show.
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: If you're surprised by it, obviously you're not on the show.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: And so.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: What I guess maybe this's a better question. What's one
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: thing you hope they don't change about the mansion?
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: You know, I loved my first and last time of
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: having myself and twenty guys an inch piece. It was fun.
• 9:36
  Speaker 7: It was fun.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: I really liked it.
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: You know, there's a bunch of guys hanging out.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: You know, so you went to pool Jacuzias day. I
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: mean we get a grotto.
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's like a really cool I'm definitely going to
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: mess it up. It's just what I know of Ggrato
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: is like a really cool pool with like a little
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: stone on top of it.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Shall I say, oh, like waterfalls and caves and stuff.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: See now that you think about now that I'm thinking
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: about the outside, Yeah, I can see them renovating the
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: pool area.
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: I mean, I'm saying, this just needs a little touch up,
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: a little love. Mike, thanks for thanks for jumping on
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: to talk to us about the Bachelor Mansion. We appreciate you,
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: thanks for giving us your insights, and I'm glad our
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: two seasons can relate at least on one thing, uh,
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: and that is that we're dangerous, dangerous in the locker room.
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: Mike Johnson, thanks for coming. Rachel, Hi, welcome back to
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: the United States.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Thank you from Africa, not from Paradise. Guys, too excited.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: I could have left it as a cliffhanger.
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: I'm not so you, guys, Please, I can't handle it.
• 10:59
  Speaker 7: Another thing.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: I know, we know, we know you're dating Blake. You
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: can't go there.
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: Every time Ast messaged me when I was there, I
• 11:06
  Speaker 7: told him, like I tell her every single time, not dating.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: Okay, Well, can you just explain like the arm around
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: your leg situation.
• 11:15
  Speaker 7: Then we were sitting in a tire and I was
• 11:19
  Speaker 7: gonna fly out because he's bigger, so she was in
• 11:22
  Speaker 7: the whole tire. So I was on like the edge
• 11:25
  Speaker 7: of it, and then I had my leg just trying
• 11:27
  Speaker 7: to like stay on it.
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: There's nothing romantic about a sunset with animals and attire,
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: with a strong man protecting you from falling out or something.
• 11:38
  Speaker 7: No, he probably wouldn't even care if I did fall out, honestly.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: Well, if you're not together after that trip, then I
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: guess you won't be together. But all right, all right,
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: all right, So as your time as the Bachelor at
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: do you have any stories from the mansion, Like from
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: the mansion itself, anything funny happen been outside by.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: The pool in the kitchen.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: The kitchen is just like a big hangout spot where
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: everybody has to cook.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Their own meals, So there's got to be a story there, right.
• 12:10
  Speaker 7: Well, first of all about the kitchen, Me and Jill
• 12:13
  Speaker 7: Chin were terrified to go in the kitchen because I
• 12:17
  Speaker 7: don't know if you remember, on our season of The Boucher,
• 12:20
  Speaker 7: we had shrimp gate, so there was just a weird
• 12:24
  Speaker 7: cooking thing happening in there. Who was getting what food?
• 12:27
  Speaker 7: So we wouldn't eat the food that was cooked, and
• 12:30
  Speaker 7: we weren't cooking. We were just living off of go
• 12:32
  Speaker 7: macro bars the entire time.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: It's very intimidating to cook in that kitchen.
• 12:37
  Speaker 7: No, there was no way I was doing it. I
• 12:38
  Speaker 7: would wash the dishes, to make it seem like I
• 12:40
  Speaker 7: was contributing to the house and I wouldn't eat the food.
• 12:43
  Speaker 7: I was terrified of those girls at the time.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: It's interesting, you know, you get to make a grocery
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: list and they do do a great job of going
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: out and getting the food that everybody wants. I remember
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: there and I wonder if this is the same way
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: with the Bachelorette or with the Bachelor seasons. When I
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: was on the Bachelorette, there was almost like a power
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: struggle who to who would be cooking, Like I think
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: some guy wanted to show off, like, hey, I'm a cook,
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: I'm a good cook, and I want to feed the people,
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: and I want Caitlin to find out that I'm the
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: guy that feeds everybody. And it was like this weird
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: struggle amongst some guys to like show off in the kitchen,
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: and it was a very weird dynamic, and it did
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: make the kitchen in a sense inaccessible to everybody else
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: because if I was like, hey, I don't really want
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: your RIGATONI that you're like flaming up on the stove.
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: I'm just down for like a turkey sandwich, it would
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: be offensive to them and then I was worried about
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: like causing drama over my turkey sandwich.
• 13:44
  Speaker 7: No, genuinely. And then it's like how much food do
• 13:46
  Speaker 7: you take because they're not making enough for realistically thirty
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: people to really eat, so you take just a little,
• 13:53
  Speaker 7: and then you're like, it's just a whole thing. It's definitely,
• 13:56
  Speaker 7: like you said, very intimidating. On our season, it was
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: Sierra Hate and they were always in the kitchen cooking
• 14:03
  Speaker 7: besides the Shrimpgate of Shnee.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I did not go in there, Ashley, what
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: about you.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: I remember discovering avocados for the first time, like I
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: never really regularly ate. I never ate avocado avocados actually
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: before the Bachelor Mansion, and I always just thought like
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: I would have it like in sushi or like wacamoleia,
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: And I was like, I was like you this, and
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: then I don't know, they had them so available. It
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: was everybody's like number one request and they were perfectly ripe.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: That's what I remember, because it's hard to get avocados right,
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: they're like ripe for maybe a day. They're always great
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: in the mansion. So I discovered, yeah because of California,
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: and I discovered just like how great avocado on toast
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: with turkey and saracho was. And so that's what I
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: basically had every single day, and a lot of dinners
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: as well.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like everyone has.
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: That one thing they just say every day just to
• 15:02
  Speaker 7: survive that and alcohol nothing else.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: I could just like make it myself in the corner
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: and not have to make a big deal out of it,
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: and then I could just wash the one plate and
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: now have to worry about making a whole mess.
• 15:16
  Speaker 7: Ye, because then it's like who's watching dishes, who's not
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: washing the dishes.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: It's a whole thing, exactly.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: I have a few questions.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: A couple of things I don't remember.
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: So I imagine myself being a guy who would have enjoyed
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: a cocktail during the day while filming the Bachelorette because
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: there ain't nothing to do and you're usually sitting by
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: a pool. I don't remember where alcohol was accessible, and
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: this was before like alcohol became like, you know, two
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: drink minimums. I don't remember where we maximums.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Minimums.
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't remember where we had access.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Do you all remember this?
• 15:55
  Speaker 7: I remember exactly where it was, and I remember exactly
• 15:58
  Speaker 7: the time.
• 15:59

  Speaker 5: My next question is during the season I was on
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: the Bachelorette, it became a really also big deal for
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: guys to work out, and there were sand bags that
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: like would set up some tents for production and some
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: of the guys would get their hands on these sand
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: bags and just run the property like holding a sand
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: bag and then do like all these workouts because we
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: had so many personal trainers on that season, so many
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: guys so into working out.
• 17:04

• 17:14
  Speaker 3: laps around the pool like not the actual pool. Like
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: if you guys don't know, if you go downward into

  Speaker 3: So they would do laps around the whole house, including
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: that area, and I would.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Be like, good for you guys.
• 17:30

• 17:34
  Speaker 5: If I hadn't had abs yet, I wasn't going to
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: get abs living in the Bachelor Mansion. But it was
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: a good way to kind of blow some steam. It's
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: not a big property. It's probably a half acre maybe
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: an acre, and you just run around the acreage for
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: you know, as long as the show would let you
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: with a sandbag. It's a wild scene. It would have

• 18:16
  Speaker 7: like the Toy story Toys, like we'd like fall asleep.
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: And one night Serene was standing up when the handler
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: came in, she just fell over and she broke the
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: bed and it was the funniest thing ever. And I'll
