• 1:09
  Speaker 3: The Golden Bachelor was announced.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: We got our first interview with him. His name is
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: I believe is it Gary or Jerry.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: It's Gary Gary. It looks like Jerry.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I know he's from Indiana.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: So you're right.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: I was right Hudson, Indiana, which I've been to. It's
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: not very far from my hometown. He when he was
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: sharing his story, actually, my mom and I were watching
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: it and a tear came to my eye just even
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: hearing the fact where he was like, I have her
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: picture in my closet. We were like high school sweethearts.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Wait, I have my picture. I have her picture in
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: my closet.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: Well yeah, right where he gets ready in the morning,
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: he has a picture of his wife and he looks
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: at it because they asked like, how would she feel
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: about this, and he's like, we always said, whoever goes first,
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: we want to other to be happy, and I I
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: know she's like my biggest fan, and his daughters are
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: the ones that signed him up.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: He seems excited.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: It's just so interesting, Like I love that he has
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: hearing aids and.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: I love me too.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: I just love it and a good looking fella. I
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: have high hopes me too.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: So I was reading the responses from the official Bachelor
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: page once they put up his picture, and I was like,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: are they deleting any bad comments because there is truly
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: none to be found. People are really excited. I don't know,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know. You know, people can always find flaw
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: in anything, but everybody seemed really stoked. There were a
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: couple that were like, this will save the franchise, and
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: most people shocked that he is almost seventy two years old.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: He does look like he looks great.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Looks fantastic.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: Now, I'm telling you this, if anybody has a negative comment,
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: they can hate the Bachelor, they can hate the Bachelorette.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: They can be upset at the franchise for all the
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: things that the franchise has done and not done.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: I get that, Okay, that's fair.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: But if you are upset with a guy in his
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: seventies and women in whatever age range they're going to
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: come into trying to have a second chance at love
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: and doing it on a television show, that could end
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: up being one of the coolest, most exhilarating. Adrenaline rushed
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: like moments in his life, doing interviews with Good Morning America,
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: going on probably talk shows. If you're gonna have negative
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: comments on that, you are a human I don't want
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: to meet.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Is what's his occupation?
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I'm sure if you're tired, you.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Think he's retired. We don't know what his former occupation is,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: but he's retired, so you know, he just.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: He has a lank house. He's fine right now.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Whoever gets to be with him, they just get to
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: like not even worry about that stuff.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: So it's such a cool concept. We're really pumping for him.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: We'll hope to bring on the podcast here very soon.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: A get older, the end of guy.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: You need to talk to this man?
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: Oh, I would love to. And here's the thing. I
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: cannot wait. It's gonna be a really interesting thing in
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: five seasons from how to see what people's critiques are of, Like,
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: you know, everybody has critiques of a show they watch,
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: Like what is gonna be the thing that people are
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: annoyed by when they when it comes to the contestants
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: and lead because you know, one thing they have to eliminate.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: Nobody is there for the wrong reasons. Nobody is there
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: to get fame. If you're there to get fame in
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: your seventies, you are like sorely mistaken.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: It's it would be exhausting.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: Like I think they're just there gonna have a cool experience,
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: shake life.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: Up a bit.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, find love, and if they don't find love, they
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: can tell their friends and family.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: I mean the watch parties, Ashley.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: Can you imagine like the watch parties of the kids
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: and the grandkids and the families and the sisters and
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: the cousins and the brothers sitting around watching the TV
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: Like it's gonna be amazing.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Usually it's what are my parents gonna have the And
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: then it's gonna be like one of my kids gonna
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: think he has two grandkids, and you know, this is
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: just gonna be This is gonna be so much fun.
• 5:11

• 6:43
  Speaker 4: But either way, we're very excited. The Golden Bachelor has
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: been announced. He is a Hoosier. He's from about forty
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: five minutes from where.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: I grew up.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Is wild? It just like she leaves on a lake
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: house forty five minutes from your hometown. You are made
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: for this. And what we said on Friday, Yeah, there's
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: there's an inside source that that that says that production
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: is calling him the older version of Ben Higgins. So
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: so what are they thinking? Not just having you sign
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: the papers right now? But anyway, let's move on to
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Charity season. Are you ready?
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: I am so ready?
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: What an episode not for Here's my overal thoughts in
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: the episode.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Not the most entertaining episode, there's.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Okay, So glad that you said that, because I was like,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: why do I keep dazing out?
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: Well, the end, you know, the end really picked it up.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: We'll start with Darren Washington. It looks freezing, but it
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: looks beautiful.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, mm hmmm.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: Dunton gets the uh but uh the first uh one
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: on one of the episode.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: We were excited for doing to get this date.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: We we've been looking forward for more time with him
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: and Charity together.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Oh yes, so so glad that he has the state,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: And I'm actually so glad that Xavier gets the second
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: date because those one on ones I think really saved
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: the episode. Saved the episode because it gave us so
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: much quality.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: It did give us quality.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: Ashlely My take though I've always been a fan of Xavier.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: We'll get into that later.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: But with Doton, I really want to see their connection
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: when it comes to conversation.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: Am I crazy? Disagree with me?
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: Here? Am I crazy to think that their conversations don't
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: feel as natural as I would want?
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: It is the first one on one, is their first
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: time together, but it felt like a first date to me.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: Like I know everybody is saying, hey, this is it,
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: this is over.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: I'm not there yet.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: I'm not saying this thing is closed out because it
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: felt like they're Their connection is obviously there, but their
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: chemistry when it comes to how comfortable they are isn't
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: there yet, which is natural and fair.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: It's it's early on.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: Still I think it can progress that, but I'm not
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: sold out that he is, yes, one hundred percent the guy.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: What conversations are you referring to, like the bungee jumping
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: era conversations or the later of the night.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: Later in the night, I know they open up, but
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: it felt like it felt like a conversation where it's like,
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: you tell me your story, I tell you mine. You
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: tell me your response, I'll tell you mine. Like it
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: felt very much like a first date conversation of here's
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: who I am, which is awesome, Here's who I want
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: to be, here's what I'm looking for.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: It didn't feel like.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: The hey, let's you know, joke around, like let's have
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: like we're comfortable with moments of silence. Yet they're just
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: not there yet. I don't expect there yet. It's a
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: first date. But that's also why I'm saying I'm not, like,
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: I'm not one hundred percent convinced that he is going
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: to be her choice at the end, because we haven't
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: seen them get comfortable yet.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Okay, I think what you mean is like, it's not
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: flirty conversation, it's not really romance. The conversation I am
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: going off a lot of my feelings about their connection
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: because she is so freaking giddy. Yeah, and because there's
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: a lot of substance to the conversation and he just
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: feels strong and loyal, He like just really gives off
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: husband vibes.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: M I think he does. I think he's really in
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: the charity.
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: I don't think that there's gonna be any like red
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: flags pop up. I don't think there's going to be
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: like a massive exit for him where she's upset. In fact,
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: I don't see that really happening for the rest of
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: the season with anybody that we are very like sold
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: out on. I just think there's some other people that
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: are equally as connected her. I actually think that her
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: time with Xavier felt more comfortable for me personally as
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: I watched than Dotin's time. Okay, but to get into it,
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: they did bungee jump. They're both freaking out. I would
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: have been freaking out. Good for them to do it,
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: do it together. I do think that helped that they
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: are kind of tied onto each other, felt very dangerous,
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: felt like their heads could smack together.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: For me, I was nervous the whole time.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yes, I was like, how uncomfortable is this
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: to just have to like hold yourself against somebody else.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: But again, at the same time, you don't want to
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: do it alone.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: No, if I'm going down, I'm going down with whoever
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: is forcing me. To do this.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: I know. I'm glad I got to do it the
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: second time because the second time cou would actually be
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: fun once you you really trust that rope.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, coo.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: See that's the difference between them and I though. If
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: I do it once, I'm going to say I did it,
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: I survived it.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: I'm good.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: Like I can tell people I bungee jump. To do
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: it twice just seems reckless. But the drone shot of
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: that bridge, that bridge is so high, so far above
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: the river. That was an incredible feat for the two
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: of them. I know people out there probably like, I bunge,
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: you jump all the time. I skida whatever. You guys
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: are impressive. I'm saying that was a cool moment. You
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: could tell they're both nervous. They both did.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, Charity had tears in her eyes. Poor girl.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: I know, I felt really bad. I was thinking that
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: there was somebody who in their bios before the show started,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: so the bungee jumping was like their biggest fear. I
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: don't think it was Yeah he didn't they bring oh
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: he's They may should have made a bigger deal out
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: of that.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: Well, just don't tell the show that you're scared. Of anything.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, say you love snakes and spiders and heights
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: and you're never being closer poing like, don't give them
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: any ammunition.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Right, Okay, anyway, it's a great bonding first date. You
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: can't deny that. Once you do tackle that together, you
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: can do a lot physically and overcome a lot of fears.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: So then, yeah, the conversation later was around a campfire
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: and he was talking about immigrating to America and the
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: fact that his is like a lottery and his aunt
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: had set him up the family just she found a
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: certain lottery and said, like, I have a good feeling
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: that you should do this, and that's how he became
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: an American citizen, which is really awesome. And then Charity
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: was discussing how she was the area that she grew
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: up in. She always felt like maybe she was a
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: little bit different because I feel like there's probably not
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: as many black people in that area. And she said
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: that she became very achievement oriented. She had to be
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: the best at everything.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and you can see that in her right.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: My wife is very achievement orient Like she was a
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: college athlete, she was you know, four h She has
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: this like drive to be.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: No, I don't want to say perfect. I don't think
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: that's her expectation. I don't think she can.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: But she has a drive to be really good at
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: everything she does. And it's exhausting right now that I
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: live with somebody like that. She's tired often. And there's
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: also confusion that comes with that, because truth is, you
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: are going to be great at everything, and when you
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: do the kind of fall short and whatever that is,
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: you really get upset about it. You beat yourself up
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: over it a lot. And so I and I see
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: that in Charity, right, you see it and just you
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: know so far like even how these moments of drama
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: and arguments now you can see them crushing her because she,
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: I think, takes it on herself. She holds that very
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: personal and I'm hoping she can get free of that
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: here as a season goes on. But I do think
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: those are two big things for the two of them
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: to get out there now again. Now we can see
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: them start to get comfortable and connect. Charity understands his backstory,
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: don't understand who Charity is as a person. Now you
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: can see them flirt a little bit. We can see
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: like some just like talks about dreams and whatever their
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: future hold.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: I still have him obviously in my top three. There's
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: no question about that.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: I'm just devil's advocation.
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm just not I'm just not convinced that Xavier
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: wouldn't be my number one Overdotan right now. We'll get
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: into that here in a second. But their date goes well,
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: we can say that it is a very healthy date.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: He does get the rose, he's safe to the end.
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: Final thoughts on doting for me Ashley is, I'm very
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: glad right now that he is he When all this
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: drama goes down the house, you just don't see him around.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, you don't see him at all, to
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: the point that, like I forgot that he was even
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: a part of those moments.
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: I bet he's sitting on the couch having a cocktail,
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: being like you fool, you got to do I'm going
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: to sit here.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's very attractive, right the best.
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: Yes, Actually maybe you know in life you want to
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: protect you know your partner, you want to stand up
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: for them. But like in this situation, in this environment,
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: I think he's socially aware enough to be like, this
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: isn't my role, Like I don't have to right now.
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: There's a bunch of dudes like trying to puff their
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: chests up. I don't need to be that guy.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah that's Aaron.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: If I ever needed to be that guy, I can
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: be that guy. But right now I don't need to
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: be that guy. They seem to think they have this
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: under control. So still like the guy, still think he's
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: around for a long time. And uh, and I'm very
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: excited that Charity seems very smitten. I'm very excited that
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: she has a couple of guys that she is just
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: like I'm into.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: Okay, So then me get to the group day, actually
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: get away.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Okay. So the guys are supposed to go find food
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: in the in the forest, and they're led by these scouts.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: They're not exactly girl scouts. What kind of scouts are they?
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Are you familiar with those?
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: I don't know exactly what kind of scouts they are. Really,
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: They're very charismatic and very good on camera. I wouldn't
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: be surprised if they were like a made up branch
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: of the skin.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Okay, yes they were. They took their job very seriously,
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: and the girls like could not with braiden, which is
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: actually hilarious. So they all go out try to find,
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: you know, foods that they'd be able to survive. They're
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: really supposed to prove their masculinity here and their provider instincts,
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: and yeah, Joe even says that he's kind of terrified
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: of them. I love these girls for this moment. Yeah,
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: they're great. They're great. So what I think of when
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: I think of this this scene is that Braiden comes
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: back and he proved. He shows the food that he
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: brought back and he had a bite taken out of it,
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: which is absolutely no shock. And I'm also thinking in
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: this moment that Braiden is becoming Chad Johnson. I'm pretty
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: sure that he had seen those episodes and he wanted
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: to slowly become a Chad Johnson character, because remember when
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Chad would be like Milk's Delicious, and then he was
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: being like a grizzly bear basically when they were on
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: their their cabin woodsy date yea week. Yeah, so I
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: feel like he's totally becoming Chad. And then I would
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: think of how tannered.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: Be a weird move.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Who wants to who wants to be a Chad You're saying, yeah, well,
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Chad is memorable. Here we are, like seven years removed,
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: still referring to Chad. If you're gonna be on TV,
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: I guess create a character from yourself.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: I'm not I mean, I think you're not that person. Well, no,
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: I just I don't know if Braid's actually trying to
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: do anything other than be himself. Again.
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: I'm more in favorab Braiden towards the end of this
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: episode than I think I've ever been before. But during
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: this moment, I really think he is one of those
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: people who get sucked into the moment and he kind
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: of loses himself in the moment, and he thinks he's
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: funnier than he is is.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: He definitely thinks he's funny, and he and.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: He and I think it comes from a good place.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: I think he thinks the louder he is, the more
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: fun he's having, the more he's engaging in the experience,
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: the more he is being his biggest and fullest self,
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: the more fun Charity probably will have and the other
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: guys will have because they're like, this is so much,
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: this is the best, Like we're.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: All enjoying this.
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: I think he's trying to show very outwardly and very
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: annoyingly that he's enjoying this or that he's in it.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: But it also Teeter Totter's just as an audience member.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: It's kind of funny because he's being super obnoxious to
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: the point where it's kind of funny. It's just not
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: attractive though, No, it's not attractive, Like I don't want
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: to date a guy like that, but I may want
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: to watch him on a reality show.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: Sure, it's like it's like watching a middle schooler run
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: through the Yeah, Like, I mean, that's what my buddies
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: and I did when we're in middle school and the
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: camp counse services like, hey, guys, calm down, you're being weird. Stop,
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: like take it back three steps and like start over.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: I found this, you.
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: Know, this day intriguing because the show didn't set them
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: up with food, and these guys are eating everything. And
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: I spent a lot of time as a kid. I
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: live in Denver now, I spend a lot of time
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: in the woods. You should not be eating everything that
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: goes on a tree or every mushroom that's popping out
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: of the ground. That's not a good that's not smart.
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: So I'm hoping you're mushrooms a food expert there where
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: the guys would like pick it and be like good
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: or bad and maybe like that's fine, you can chew
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: on that, but we don't see it. So it just
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: looks like to me that these dudes are just you know,
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: tearing away.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: The other side.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: The funny part for me was Aaron b was gonna
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: try to catch a fish. I don't know what he's thought.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: I thought he I think he thinks he was gonna
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: do with their hands. That would have been awesome. Never
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: see now when successfully pulled off before. But I would
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: have loved for him to catch a fish because I
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: would love for him to see how he's presenting a cold,
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: raw live fish to the girls and to Charity.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and what stands up to me is Tanner's presentation
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: of his Charcoieri board. That was really a kind of adorable.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: I find Tanner to be kind of adorable. He has
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: absolutely no shot in this thing, but like I like him,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: and he's.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: A good.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Do you feel big romance from him. They're not even
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: presenting him like that. You can tell on the show
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: like how they present somebody. But I enjoyed, like when
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: he's on my screen, he's like lighthearted and it feels
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: like it brings a levity. Uh what else was worth
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: mentioning besides the questions? So the girls ask questions and
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: they go to Braiden and what Brayden say. He's like,
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: I just want to find a connection. Be content, be content.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Oh my dude, dude, he just keeps her rubbing it in.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: He's like, I just want you to know very clearly
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: that I am not necessarily here for a minutes at least.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: I know that's what I've been saying.
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: She's getting it. It just really feels like to me,
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: Braiden is he he hasn't made like a good choice
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: since like really he stepped out of Limo. I mean,
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: he did do fine on night one, but I had
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: my concerns. The guy just continues to do the wrong
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: thing or the most annoying thing or the thing that's
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: going to make the house the most upset. I don't
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: know if he realized how upset all the guys were at.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Braiden until the moment where we had braid and Braiden
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Brand and Braiden on all the boards.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: What a weird question, Like if you had to survive,
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: who would you eat first? Like what a weird way
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: to phrase that. It just made me the Yellow Jacket
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: Show and that kind of freaked me out.
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: To that show freaks me out, perfect.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Way to pinpoint the villain in case Charity wasn't already aware,
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: which I think she was, but she was also I
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: think a little bit sad to see that like everybody
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: was against him.
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: Everybody was against him. Well, we're going then into the
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: night time portion of date right away. Right this all
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: escalates to the moment we've all kind of been wondering
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: when it was going to happen. The guys are talking
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: to Braiden. Braiden is trying to defend himself well at
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: the same time kind of digging himself into a bigger hole.
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: He's still being very honest, so he's still being very
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: clear about his intentions, and it would be great to
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: get him on the show at some point and understand
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: exactly what he was there for then, because if he
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: was there just for a good time and to have
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: a good experience and to be really happy that he
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: did it, that's one thing. But if he was really
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: ever there for Charity, that's a question I still have
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: on my mind. But she walks in on it, confronts
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: her right away, pulls him aside, and that's where their
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: conversation starts.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: And to me, what encapsulates it all is when he well,
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: he tells her I like you, but I don't know
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: where this is going basically, and it's just like okay,
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: that just okay, I like you, but just eliminate him
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: right here. But like he also put himself in the
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: position and the power position. I think that he wanted
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: to self eliminate in that moment because he knew that
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: she was going to eliminate him, if not in that moment,
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: that probably later in the episode, later in the week,
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: and that was a dick move, right. Did you find
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: that he was doing that?
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: I did.
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: I mean, I think it's again he was definitely trying
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: to defend himself and he definitely felt at this moment like, hey,
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: my leash here is short and I don't have a
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: lot of room left in this experience, so let me
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: go out. However I want to go out. We can
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: get into later on when he comes back and why.
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: I think that how he exited was exactly why he
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: came back to kind of apologize and to say, hey,
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: I don't know I've had a few days or a
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: few hours to think about this. I was I was wrong.
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: I did some stupid stuff here. That's why I don't
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: blame him for coming back. I think it's a very
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: fair thing for somebody to do, especially somebody that has
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: to cause so much chaos and so much confusion for her.
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: We'll talk about that here in a second. But yeah,
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: he definitely was, but he has eliminated it. He goes home.
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: He does give the great little cliffhanger that we all
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: love where he says, is this over?
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: I don't know, man, That's what he says. I don't know, man,
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: It's over.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: So when it comes down to it, Brandon signed up
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: for a show where like the main point is to
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: get engaged at the end, and every single week he
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: was like, I don't really know if I like the
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: point of this show, you know, like I really just
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: want contentment at the end of this maybe just want
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: to date, like see if I like someone, you know,
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: if I like someone, that's cool.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: I was just waiting for him to be like, you know,
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: what would be awesome, Charity. I think you're awesome, But
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: what I'm really here for is like more of a selection,
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: so I would I would love to go on Paradise. Like,
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: if you want to keep me around long enough for that,
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: that'd be really cool.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: I'd appreciate it.
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: And then then you can say goodbye to me whenever
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: you want, but just keep me along long enough to
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: come to Paradise.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: I believe he will be in Paradise.
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: I believe he fulfilled his mission by going on a
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: show and causing enough stir up that he will be
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: sent to the beach. And who knows what he's like
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: on the beach. I hope it's a good redemption story
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: for him. We wisht upon everybody, but right now, Braiden
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: is going home. Everybody in the house is excited. I
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: think viewers are excited because it didn't feel like the
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: show stretched out the Braiden storyline one week too.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: It felt like this is the week that needed he
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: needed to go home.
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: We didn't, you know, he didn't consume our television all
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: the time. We did have great moments with some other guys,
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: including Xavier, who gets the next date now for the
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: rest of the group date, Actually, no really memorable moments
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: for me, other than a few of the guys do
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: make a connection like, you know, Joey continues to be
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: really good at kissing.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: Charity, and you know, Sean you know, continues to kind
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: of be there.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: I don't see, like what was Sean right? Sean is
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: still around and like to fast forward to the end
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: of the episode, he like gets to the top six
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: six left, right, Sean, there's something like to caricature about
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: this guy to take seriously.
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't.
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: I don't disagree with Braydon when he says that he
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: kind of like reminds him of the like the prince
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: from Shrek or whatever they guys.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Well, he doesn't, does he. That's like really not a
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: compliment because people always say no, but because everybody makes
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: fun of like when their hair, Prince Barguad, So like
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: when your hair when you're a girl and like your
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: hair is like really limp and like just to your
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: shoulders and it's the center par and you feel like
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: it's not styled. Like that's when you make fun of
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: yourself and you say you look like Prince Farquad. But
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: but the thing is so like he's like never this
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: Lord Farkwad, Lord farkwah, thank you Hannah, Lord Parkuad. Yeah,
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: but like I guess like he's but he is Lord
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: Farkwad at the same time, because he's just like ridiculous,
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: and he does kind of have a character face where
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: he looks like he's more of like a cartoon right,
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: not likely in a bad way, Like he's an attractive guy.
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: Of course, he's an attractive guy and he's but yes,
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: I mean he does. He's definitely playing that role. He
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: definitely isn't doing anything to help himself from looking like
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: Lord Farquad. He has the haircut, he has every I mean,
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: he has everything that you would expect, and he still
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: wears a.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: Scarf, yeah, which is Kashmir. You know. That's why his
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: scarf is different than Brandon's scarf. He does lean into it.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: So as long as he's self aware, I'm cool it.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: If his hair wasn't swoopy, I'd also be able to
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: take it more seriously, Like if you just have like
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: a normal haircut, like you or Jared, I'd be like, oh, yeah,
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: like this dude, but like he's such a cartoon character
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: with his swoop.
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: I want the moment where we see him.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: Hair using the hair dryer and like doing the flips.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well you know, what happens and it's on camera.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: That's that doesn't come naturally. Yeah.
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: No, so the havior date, Yeah, Xavier date when I
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: was excited for all season. I've been a fan of
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: I've been a fan of Xavier since really Weak two.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: So I liked Xavier since his opening package. I knew
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: that he got into science because his mom has an
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: autoimmune disease. I just of course that's like awesome that
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: he would want to get into it to see what
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: he can do to help people, including his mom, in
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: the future. So I've been keeping an eye out for
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: him because of that, but I didn't remember that was
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: the reason until he brought it back up on this date.
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's always kind of been that sneaky like front
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: runner here for me where ever since Dodgeball. He was
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: really like good at Dodgeball, but he was also very
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: like fun and competitive. I think he showed a great
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: side of himself because he didn't win the MVP, and
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: I think he should have obviously, and so that was
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: kind of there. He handled that well. I didn't remember
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: about the autoimmune disorder that his mother had until he
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: did bring it up.
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: But he you know, there's this there's this element of people.
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: I think when you sit down with him and they've
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: gone through that kind of pain. I remember a few
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: seasons ago with Sarah, who's dad headed a less like
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: there is a like you grow as a human, especially
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: when a loved one is sick and you're caring for them,
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: and then when you choose to do something about it.
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: I just think that it's you know, it's not only respectable,
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: it's admirable, and it's then it's just like I watch
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: these leaders in life kind of and all, and I
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: think he's always kind of been that.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: I believe he will stay that.
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: That's why you know he has always been up there
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: for me, because because if Charity doesn't choose him, I
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: don't think it's going to be for any reason.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: Other than maybe she likes like has a connection with
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: somebody more.
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: But he will be the type of guy who could
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: be this next bachelor, who could be the lead of
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: a season and be fantastic. And I think that's kind
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: of where he's sneaky at. He's either the pick or
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: I think he's the next Bachelor.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: And I'll say that.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: Right, yeah, I would not mind that at all. He
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: has such a good heart and It's funny because the
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: first part of this date, we're not thinking about that.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: We're thinking about him being a flirt.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: We're thinking about him.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: Over complimenting her. That's an issue with her. And I'm thinking,
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: for a second, over complimenting her physical appearance. That's an issue.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: And then I thought, Okay, would that annoy me on
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: a first date? And I guess to a certain extent,
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: like if you're just giving so many compliments about how
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: pretty you are, then you're like, okay, okay, all right,
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: I thank you, But yeah, you do really want them
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: to compliment your inside, your personality as well your intelligence.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: I think that it was probably just a way of
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: making her feel comfortable, but for her it was raising
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: a red flag, which I think, you know a lot
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: of people wouldn't really raise a red flag on a
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: first date, but it was because I think that this
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: deep rooted fear of infidelity for her, which reminded her
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: of her past her ex and like maybe she thought that, oh,
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: compliments about my physical appearance? Is he just going to
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: be so like physically oriented and I do have to
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: worry about him cheating on me? Did you understand that
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: thought process of hers? Because they didn't really spell it out.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: I'm just assumed. I mean, that was kind of what
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: you was thinking.
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: I think is exactly what she was thinking.
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: I mean, I think there's like I have my pet peeves, right,
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: there's very They're very clear, and after you've listened to this
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: podcast long enough, you know what those are.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: You have yours. We all have those like little things
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: in our mind that kind of set us off and
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: like make us, yeah, take a step back. And for her,
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: I'm sure some guy.
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: Was like very complimentary of her, said a lot of
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: great words, but failed her in you know, some way,
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: and she's spoken to that and she hasn't spoken and
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: enough clarity about it there we like really know the storyline.
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: She just kind of like mentions it. Probably doesn't want
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: to get into the depths of it.
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: Or at least not yet, but I do think that's
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: probably what was happening. And so she hears that and
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: she's hesitant, and she's like, Hey, this good looking guy
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: who's really charismatic, he's really smart, is showing very similar
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: signs to a guy I dated in the past and
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: that didn't go well for me. And I bet also
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: she went on of the season thinking I'm not going
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: to date people that I've typically dated because that's never
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: worked out for me. So I want to date somebody different.
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: But he's not different. He's the type of guy I
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: always go for.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: Until the dinner part and then she was like total
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: change of mind when he started talking about his parents,
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: who have been married for thirty years. Her parents, remember,
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: have been married for like forty seven forty three, some
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: crazy number for their age and her age an impressive number.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: And thirty years for him and his parents, and his
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: dad is the main caregiver for the mom and that
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: obviously shows so much. And that's the kind of marriage
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: that you want. And it's nice that they both can
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: bond over their parents' relationship being so strong. And I
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: think that always. Do you do you think it's wrong
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: for me to say that. I think that two people
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: that come from to healthy parental marriages, they can go
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: into a serious relationship easier.
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I mean I think that's I think they've
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: had it modeled for them. I think you know you've
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: seen it. You know it can happen, like you've seen
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: the difficulties, but you've also seen the beauty of it.
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's definitely something to look at.
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: And then I think in their case, from what it
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: sounds like, their parents really like each other still, right, Like,
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: you've still very much in love and like with each other.
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: And I think that's something to strive for, because if
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: you spend forty three years with somebody who has literally
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: seen you naked and unashamed and seen every side of
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: you and every part of you, and you still.
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: Like them, you're still the biggest fan.
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: I think it's something like we all could dream for, right, So, yes,
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: and so he does show a different side, or a
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: side that maybe proves to her, hey, he isn't like
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: everybody else. And and the day ends in a rowse
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: Xavier is going to be there a while, and that
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: gets to the cocktail party. Actually, the cocktail party is
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: really not a cocktail party about Braiden, and again it's
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: all about Braiden. Again, it's his last stand. He comes
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: into the room kind of just walked by the guys,
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: interrupts a moment with John, who unfortunately goes home, which
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: is wild to me because they're making out.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: Okay, So my issue was that John was like, you
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: interrupted my time, like he was so offended, which I
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: understand you should totally be offended by Braiden, this guy
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: who was eliminated earlier in the week, taking your time.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: But my question to you, John is truly, truly were
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: you going to talk to her anymore? Or are you
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: just going to continue making out? Because normally the making
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: out portion of time alone when you're dating is like
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: what ends your time together?
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: You never like talk and then make out and you
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: know what, let's go back to this talking thing. Especially
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: on The Bachelor, you just don't do it. That's the
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: way you wrap up your time.
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: And you don't have that much time. We saw what
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: forty five seconds of their time together. I mean that's
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: at least one third of what he would probably get either.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: Way, somebody else is gonna interrupt.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's lucky to get any moments.
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: It is interesting though, that she was making out with
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: him like this and he still goes home.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: I was thinking that that I wanted to ask you
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: and be like, Ben, would you ever make out with
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: somebody like that and then eliminate them? I don't really
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: had to have.
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: I had to have, but like you, like, you don't
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: want to, you don't like to. It's usually because you
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: have nothing to talk about, and there's no connection there,
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: so you're like, exactly, we call it here, or we
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: just start kissing for the next two minutes, and then
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: somebody comes and interrupts it.
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: I was like, John, if you're really that offended by
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: your time being taken over, you definitely should have been
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: spending your time talking.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: Braiden is not the reason that John at home. Let's
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: just make that No, he's not the reason that John
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: at home. Braiden does come in, they sit down and talk.
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: I don't necessarily have a problem with his conversation with her.
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: I don't have a problem at all. I do think
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: it's always weird when somebody comes back. But I do
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: feel like he left and probably felt pretty guilty, wanted
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: to clear some eric, wanted to kind of make this
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: all make more sense. It's still Braiden, so like, none
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: of this is going to be like not a little
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: bit annoying and not a little bit weird. But he
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: did it, And the response from the other guys is
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: what I say, is when we were talking about last
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: week and I said, hey, I don't really like I'm
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: not like in love with this cast because they just
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: seem to want to heighten the moments of drama and chaos,
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: like these dudes are there. All they had to do
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: was sit back on that couch and let him walk
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: out the door and get in the bus.
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: And leave instead. I don't know what they were wanting
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: to do. Were they wanted to tend.
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: To apologize, were they wanting to like fight him one
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: on fifteen, like.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: They go, I've never been this mad, this upset in
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: my entire life. I know, guys, you think really need
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: to get some respective.
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: Marriage.
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: Then I want to know the guy, like, what do
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: you mean you haven't got that mad at anything?
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: There's no injustices in this world.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: That's what I was thinking. I was like, you guys
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: really need to prioritize what's important in this world.
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: Some dude is living rent free in his head, and
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: I know Aaron b says that it's not.
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: It is because that dude had.
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: Every opportunity to like be the front runner, to have
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: the best connection with Charity, to really be the man
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: and all of this since week one, and he has
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: came really close.
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: Now he hasn't yet, but he came really close.
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: To letting Braiden ruin that all because Braiden did live
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: rent free in his head. I don't know what they
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: were doing. It wasn't a good look. I don't think
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: for any of those guys who went out there and
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: yelled at him. I get that he's annoying. I get
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: that he's on your nerves. I get that he came back.
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: I understand all of that. I understand it's frustrating. But,
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: like I said, the dots of the world and I
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: don't remember seeing Ze.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: It wasn't there. I don't remember either of them present.
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: Joey was Joey not there.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: He he wasn't in the forefront of my mind when
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking back on that scene.
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: It's just it's frustrating that they did that because it's
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: it just doesn't make a lot of sense.
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: But they did it. And I that's why I.
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: Think we could literally right now say, okay, who wrote
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: who walked out to that bus, who was yelling into
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: the bus that, like, we can eliminate that those guys
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: are here at the end, because I don't think Charity'd
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: probably into it.
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: If she was standing there, she would be like, yeah,
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: get them boys.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree she They definitely seem more bothered than
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: she doesn't, and he was the one who basically eliminated
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: himself on her Aaron b loves to freaking hate Branden.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: He secretly loves the he does love the drama or
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: you know, big proving like he's a big man. That's
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: what braid is and said, I do feel like he's
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: got that like he wants to prove it. He's kind
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: of macho.
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: It was only it was been the only time since
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: we since the show started that I've been like, okay,
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: I get Braiden here, like I see I'm on Braidon's side,
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: like I would be the being the bus being like, hey,
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: can you shut the door so I can leave, Like
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: I'm ready to go. I've gotten everything out of me
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: that I need to. He just I think at that
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: point it felt weird. And again I don't know what
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: they were wanting to do. Were they wanting to beat
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: him up? Is that really what they thought? Or are
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: they just all trying to get like their voices heard.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: Well, okay, so their interpretation is that their interpretation was
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: that Charity eliminated him, not that he like kind of
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: self eliminated. So maybe they were riled up with the
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: fact that like he tried to come back when she
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: didn't want him around anymore.
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: Well, on the other side of that too, is I
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: think they were a little upset that they felt like
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: John didn't get the time he deserved, And I think
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: they were wrapping their up in their frustrations at John
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: thing at the time he deserved, which again is weird
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: to me.
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's what it was. They were trying to
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: defend him.
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I sat on the Bachelorette I remember very clearly,
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: and similar situations erupted right where somebody.
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: Didn't get the time that they wanted to have with
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: Kaitlyn at the time.
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: And as bad as I felt, I was pretty through it,
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: like why would I want any of these other dude? Like,
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: I am so happy that it wasn't me, But I'm
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: sitting there going like, why is anybody protecting John?
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: Let John stand up for himself.
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: Do you know why? Because they wanted to get they
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: wanted to get fire air or something. They just wanted
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: to they wanted to kind of enjoy drama for a second.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: But mostly they defended him because they knew he stood
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: no chance. Like he kept saying, I'm on the topping
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: block and everybody else knew that he was on the
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: topping block, so yeah, they'll just they'll get riled up
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: for that. But what if that happened to Doan? What
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: did that happened to Xavier? What if that happened to Joey?
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: There's no way that they're going all after him.
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: No, they're like that that's the best. Thanks Braden, thank you? Yeah?
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: Uh is there anything else I want to say about
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: Braiden before he actually makes his final goodbye? I mean
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: the ear rings this week where those were those were outrageous?
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what was his final stand? He needed he needed
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: to do something big? But no, he is now eliminated.
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: Braidon is no longer with us, along with.
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: Don who else, Caleb the wrestler, and Michael who. I
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: truly looked at Michael this episode and I was like,
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: who are you?
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: We haven't seen we haven't seen you once, We have.
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: Not seen any connection there. I'm wild out at the
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: fact that we have six guys left, and let's count
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: them now. We have Doton, we have Xavier, we have Joey,
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: we have Sean and Tanner and Aaron b We've never
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: been down to six by the going into week five,
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: never ever kind of love it, kind of love it.
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we're gonna get to know these guys very well. Ashley,
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: who's your top two, let's say your top three at this.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: Point in order, don't number one. I think she likes
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: Joey over Xavier, but those are my three, Okay.
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna go Xavier, Doton, Joey.
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: I really don't know if there's anybody outside of those three.
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: There's nobody even close in my mind right now.
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: That's another thing that's unique to this season. I'm looking
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: at these guys going into week five. We still have
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: so many weeks left, and nobody stands a chance outside
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: those three.
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: This is this will.
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: Honestly, I couldn't call it. So it's a week cast.
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: These guys might be really nice, but you think about
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: your cast compared to.
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: It's a week cast. But I think it's a strong
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: top three.
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: That's what I mean. Like, that's fine. That's what I
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: said last week. Like I feel bad because eh to
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: the majority, but all that really matters is that she
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: has her few very strong contenders.
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Because I mean we're saying Sean, Aaron, b and
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: Tanner don't don't really have a shot, And I think
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: that's I think it's true. I don't even see any
• 45:21
  Speaker 4: of them making a run at this thing. I think
• 45:25
  Speaker 4: Tanner still has the potential, but we'll be interested to
• 45:30
  Speaker 4: see she.
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: Goes on a one on one with Sean. You can
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: see that in the scenes in the next episode.
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: I don't think it goes well.
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: I'm assuming he's not gonna get a rose at the
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: end of that. I love the fact that we're going
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: in with such few people though, because this is kind
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: of what I've been asking for, so that the ending
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: can be really focused on the ones that matter.
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been a great season so far. We're really
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: happy with the season and watching it, We've been entertained,
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: we've been intrigued, and I think the love stories now
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: are really going to blossom. And I think that's always
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: the most fun part and always the most intriguing part
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: and also the most part warming and wrenching part of
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: the show. So we'll be back next week breaking down
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: another episode of this season. We don't miss a week,

  Speaker 2: the Chris Jenner calls Rob Mills and says that she's like,
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: I just need to wrap my head around something like

  Speaker 2: this because it's not really the space that I saw
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: Kim in. She does have four kids in a very
• 49:23
