Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: This is the Benn and Ashley I Almost Famous Podcast
- 0:03Speaker 1: with IR Radio. It has been a long week, but
- 0:08Speaker 1: we're back on season two, Episode three. Oh the Almost
- 0:13Speaker 1: Famous Podcast. Ashley, we've made it a full season. What's
- 0:17Speaker 1: going on? Um? Well, what is on my mind is
- 0:21Speaker 1: this Christina and Dean drama from this week. It seems
- 0:25Speaker 1: to hit pretty close to home with me. I know
- 0:28Speaker 1: it's not an exact comparison to me and Jared, Jared
- 0:31Speaker 1: and Jared and me, um, but it's got similarities and
- 0:35Speaker 1: I definitely feel I definitely feel connected to it. Um
- 0:40Speaker 1: Jared of course. Actually yeah, I mean I'm just putting
- 0:45Speaker 1: myself in Jared. Juse, how in the heck are you
- 0:47Speaker 1: comparing the two of these situations? Okay, so basically the
- 0:50Speaker 1: difference is Dean and Christina obviously were dating. They're dating,
- 0:54Speaker 1: you know, they went home with each other for a
- 0:57Speaker 1: week or more. Um, just there's mutual interest. Right with Jared,
- 1:02Speaker 1: we were talking at best, I suppose. But I think
- 1:05Speaker 1: the difference is that right now we're seeing Dean say, hey, Christina,
- 1:10Speaker 1: I kind of want to broaden my horizons. Like me,
- 1:12Speaker 1: I'm going to accept dates and I think you should too.
- 1:15Speaker 1: And we see Christina totally heartbroken over this, and she
- 1:18Speaker 1: has to witness the guy that she likes so much
- 1:22Speaker 1: go out with other girls, snuggle with other girls, just
- 1:24Speaker 1: like make googly eyes and other girls and just her
- 1:28Speaker 1: her experience is so similar to mine, it is and yeah, no, no, no,
- 1:35Speaker 1: but then what are you talking about. It's so it
- 1:38Speaker 1: was like, it's the most hurtful thing to have to
- 1:40Speaker 1: see the guy that you like with somebody else because
- 1:42Speaker 1: normally you don't have to watch that. Like the most
- 1:44Speaker 1: you're gonna see is through social media. You know how
- 1:47Speaker 1: that goes. That hurts in general, and that that so
- 1:54Speaker 1: that sucks. Um Also you hear it like through rumors
- 1:57Speaker 1: with mutual friends and all that. But like in this
- 2:00Speaker 1: weird world that is the Bachelor, you actually have to
- 2:02Speaker 1: watch the person you like with other people. And it
- 2:07Speaker 1: just is a whole different degree of suck nous. And
- 2:10Speaker 1: another thing I could continue. We'll go ahead. People either
- 2:16Speaker 1: they're in paradise or like maybe viewers are probably thinking Christina.
- 2:22Speaker 1: He said he wants to pump the brakes. He said
- 2:25Speaker 1: he wants to do other people. Rudd. It's not even
- 2:27Speaker 1: a red flag. It's more than that. And he's blatantly
- 2:30Speaker 1: saying like I like you, but I'm not. I'm not
- 2:33Speaker 1: gonna dedicate too much time to this. I if a
- 2:36Speaker 1: guy is saying that he's not that into correct, Yeah, no,
- 2:40Speaker 1: I think you're completely right. So I have a couple
- 2:42Speaker 1: opinions on this, and I look forward here we're gonna
- 2:45Speaker 1: we're gonna take a couple of callers to get their
- 2:46Speaker 1: opinions as well. But to start off the conversation, I
- 2:48Speaker 1: want to say one thing. I like Dean. I've never
- 2:51Speaker 1: met Christina. I'm sure sure she's awesome. You're completely correct.
- 2:55Speaker 1: Anytime you have to watch anything like this happened in
- 2:58Speaker 1: front of you or it's you to do in today's world,
- 3:01Speaker 1: it hurts really bad and it's not fair to either
- 3:03Speaker 1: party involved, especially when there's real feelings and and and
- 3:08Speaker 1: hearts behind it. Um. I just think, and I want
- 3:12Speaker 1: to take some callers here my my personal opinions. I
- 3:14Speaker 1: think Dean is terrible ending things with somebody and and
- 3:19Speaker 1: I have my my reasoning behind that. But first, Ashley,
- 3:23Speaker 1: we have a really exciting announcement. We've we it took
- 3:26Speaker 1: us a whole season to get this going. Um, but

- 4:20Speaker 1: first caller, Lauren and Brittany in d C, my home city. Hey, Laura, Brittany,
- 4:26Speaker 1: Hey Nova represent Yeah, Okay, what the heck is Northern
- 4:34Speaker 1: Virginia c m V represent DC Maryland, Virginia. Question. Hello, Hello,
- 4:46Speaker 1: what's your question? Guys? Oh, we wanted to ask you all, um,
- 4:52Speaker 1: if you like what you think went on off screen
- 4:56Speaker 1: with Dean and Christina, because we feel like to understand
- 5:00Speaker 1: the relationship on Paradise, there was so much that happened
- 5:03Speaker 1: in that those weeks when they weren't filming, and there's
- 5:06Speaker 1: anything you can tell us, I don't know what you
- 5:07Speaker 1: guys can actually say. Oh, Ben, you take this question first, Okay, Yeah,
- 5:12Speaker 1: I mean, so, as as you know, we have been
- 5:15Speaker 1: able to be with Dean here recently, and and it's
- 5:18Speaker 1: I kind of like the way Bachelor in Paradise is
- 5:20Speaker 1: doing this where they're being very transparent with the fact
- 5:22Speaker 1: that people hung out when there is a break in
- 5:24Speaker 1: the show. That's not a secret to the audience. It
- 5:26Speaker 1: shouldn't be a secret because obviously relationships built in that time.
- 5:31Speaker 1: I don't know the details of what happened. I do
- 5:33Speaker 1: know that during that break I had heard a rumor
- 5:37Speaker 1: that Dean and Christina were doing very well, that they
- 5:40Speaker 1: had kind of walked away from Paradise m very happy.
- 5:44Speaker 1: And so all I know is in that break things
- 5:48Speaker 1: were progressing forward in their relationship. But I just don't
- 5:51Speaker 1: know to what level or what extent. So it was
- 5:54Speaker 1: a little shocking to me on the first day back
- 5:56Speaker 1: when Dean did in things I was I was surprised
- 5:59Speaker 1: by that for me. For me, I think it is
- 6:03Speaker 1: important that we point out the fact that this is
- 6:05Speaker 1: completely completely unique to the show to have in between
- 6:09Speaker 1: time off camera before a fantasy suite. Um, do I
- 6:13Speaker 1: know of anything that actually went down? They spent time
- 6:16Speaker 1: together town, and they went with some other bachelor people
- 6:21Speaker 1: to Chicago or something. Yeah. They so they went like
- 6:23Speaker 1: five days to her hometown. I believe he did not
- 6:26Speaker 1: meet her parents. He may have met other family and
- 6:29Speaker 1: may have met friends. And then they took a road
- 6:31Speaker 1: trip to Chicago where they hung out with Iggy and
- 6:34Speaker 1: Diggy you guys, like, how in the world do two
- 6:38Speaker 1: guys with such similar names live in the same city
- 6:41Speaker 1: and are all the same? I guess we'll have to
- 6:50Speaker 1: ask Dean this next time he's in studio. I do
- 6:53Speaker 1: feel like I may know a little bit more than
- 6:55Speaker 1: I can reveal right now. WHOA, that's not fair to anybody.
- 7:00Speaker 1: And there are things that you and I both talked.
- 7:02Speaker 1: Just say that you just can't say it's It's it's
- 7:05Speaker 1: like saying, Hey, I have this really really deep stories
- 7:08Speaker 1: that's really affected me. I just don't want to go
- 7:10Speaker 1: into details that it makes no sense. Okay, give us something, Ashley,
- 7:16Speaker 1: give it. I don't know what it is. I'll deep you.
- 7:19Speaker 1: If it's terrible, you would have to beat me. So
- 7:22Speaker 1: I'm not doing you mean, like, what how they were
- 7:25Speaker 1: physical together? Yeah, yes, just say that I think it was.
- 7:29Speaker 1: I would think it was. I can't say this. I
- 7:31Speaker 1: can't do this to him. Well, here's the deal, here's
- 7:34Speaker 1: what we do know. Okay, Okay, their relationship progressed. They
- 7:39Speaker 1: were physical, They enjoy their each other's company, they traveled together,
- 7:44Speaker 1: they visited friends and family. There was more to their
- 7:48Speaker 1: relationship during that break than just two people trying to
- 7:52Speaker 1: get to know each other. But they exactly. I guess
- 7:54Speaker 1: if we can talk about anything, we can say that,
- 7:56Speaker 1: like they had closed doors, and I think here in Paradise,
- 8:01Speaker 1: you don't really have any doors. Good enough. Yeah, we
- 8:06Speaker 1: were just relating to it because I think every girl
- 8:09Speaker 1: feels like they don't know the right time to walk
- 8:12Speaker 1: away from a situation that's hurting them. And we're all
- 8:14Speaker 1: affected by you know, past relationships and stuff. Yeah, I
- 8:19Speaker 1: feel like Dan is so close office is hard to
- 8:21Speaker 1: know where he's at. So it's like I know that's
- 8:23Speaker 1: like not normally what happens that Paradise when everyone has
- 8:26Speaker 1: two weeks to kind of go off on their own.
- 8:27Speaker 1: But it's so interesting because we're like dying to know
- 8:30Speaker 1: what happened off screen because we're like, they have this connection,
- 8:32Speaker 1: but where did it come from? And why did you
- 8:34Speaker 1: actuel like this? So I think it's interesting that they
- 8:36Speaker 1: haven't made it such a point on the show. I
- 8:39Speaker 1: can't believe that the producers weren't like, come on, Dean,
- 8:42Speaker 1: spill the spill your guts. What happened? Right? Yeah? Yeah,
- 8:46Speaker 1: I mean so let me let us ask you too,
- 8:48Speaker 1: because you obviously are fans of the show. You you
- 8:51Speaker 1: probably watched the Bachelorette. Are you learning something more about
- 8:54Speaker 1: Dean during this during Bachelor in Paradise than what you
- 8:57Speaker 1: knew of him on the Bachelorette? And is it a
- 8:59Speaker 1: shocked you? Is it disappointing or you actually do you
- 9:02Speaker 1: agree with kind of his strategy of Hey, there's a
- 9:05Speaker 1: lot of fish in the sea, and there's a lot
- 9:06Speaker 1: of them here in Paradise and let's date a little bit. Well,
- 9:11Speaker 1: I think that everyone kind of seems different from what
- 9:14Speaker 1: I've seen when they're on the actual Bachelor Bachelorette from
- 9:16Speaker 1: when they're on Paradise. I don't know why. Like, I mean,
- 9:19Speaker 1: Nick was a completely different person on Paradise than he
- 9:23Speaker 1: was as a Bachelor, so um, but I think, like,
- 9:26Speaker 1: I don't know. I think I love being like I
- 9:28Speaker 1: think he's adorable, but I think he might just be
- 9:30Speaker 1: a little immature and not know how to handle that
- 9:33Speaker 1: because Christina was clearly really invested, and I mean, I
- 9:36Speaker 1: definitely think we're seeing a different side of him. I
- 9:38Speaker 1: don't think. I don't know if it's like bad. I
- 9:42Speaker 1: just think he doesn't really maybe he hasn't been in
- 9:44Speaker 1: the situation where he knows how to tell her that
- 9:47Speaker 1: that's the harsh thing to say. I think we're here
- 9:50Speaker 1: for like, you know, relationships. Yeah, Like it's I don't know.
- 9:55Speaker 1: I think it's more honest and realistic. When they're on
- 9:57Speaker 1: the Bachelor or the bachelorret everybody seeing and super ready
- 10:01Speaker 1: for commitment and seems to bring out the most you know,
- 10:04Speaker 1: cookie cutter version of themselves. But now that they have
- 10:07Speaker 1: equal power in Paradise, Yeah, and there's no pressure of
- 10:10Speaker 1: the engagement at the end. I think I think that
- 10:11Speaker 1: that changes people a lot, Like you're not. You don't
- 10:14Speaker 1: have to you know, propose or whatever. You know, pop
- 10:17Speaker 1: we want that, but it's not like the Bachelor Bachelor
- 10:19Speaker 1: at where it comes down to two people. I feel
- 10:21Speaker 1: like I could talk to you guys for a long time,
- 10:23Speaker 1: and I think there's something very I think there's something
- 10:25Speaker 1: very important that I should add about Dean. Is that
- 10:27Speaker 1: like the first day that I met him, you know, us,
- 10:30Speaker 1: in this very weird bachelor world, we get pretty intimate
- 10:33Speaker 1: pretty quickly. Not physically, I'm talking about emotionally. So we
- 10:37Speaker 1: were talking about just relationships and our past relationships, and
- 10:42Speaker 1: he told me. I told him about how my other
- 10:45Speaker 1: podcast we have a segment called ghosters or Ghostbusters, and
- 10:49Speaker 1: how against the whole ghosting trend we are, and and
- 10:54Speaker 1: Dean was like, honestly, I have to admit I am
- 10:56Speaker 1: a ghoster. Like that's just kind of how I disent
- 10:59Speaker 1: a great relation Chips. And I think his problem it
- 11:03Speaker 1: has nothing that he wants to try his very very
- 11:06Speaker 1: best to not hurt anyone. He feels so guilty and
- 11:11Speaker 1: he just feels so bad breaking somebody's heart that he
- 11:14Speaker 1: finds the easiest way out for both people is just
- 11:18Speaker 1: kind of let it linger and fade out in the
- 11:21Speaker 1: Bachelor world, that's not really a choice, and it seems
- 11:24Speaker 1: to be something he hopes to happen with him and Christina,
- 11:28Speaker 1: at least based on the episode we saw this week.
- 11:30Speaker 1: And it's just it's just not how you can deal
- 11:32Speaker 1: with things. He's just very sweet. This is Amy, and
- 11:34Speaker 1: I'm just saying he's just he's just sweet and he
- 11:36Speaker 1: means well, he just doesn't he doesn't realize that what
- 11:39Speaker 1: he's doing, by maybe having her cling to hope, is
- 11:43Speaker 1: actually hurting her more. I'll give you the beautiful Thad. Well,
- 11:47Speaker 1: I'll give you two little tidbits that we know about
- 11:49Speaker 1: Dean and save your hate mail. I know y'all hate
- 11:51Speaker 1: my voice. I don't care so anyway, So there's two
- 11:56Speaker 1: little things we should say. So obviously I've admitted I'd
- 11:59Speaker 1: known Dean well before he was on The Bachelor. I
- 12:03Speaker 1: said to him, because he's obviously, you know, concerned, upset
- 12:06Speaker 1: about how people are reacting. I said, well, the worst
- 12:08Speaker 1: is over, and he said, no, it's not. So I
- 12:11Speaker 1: should we should all prepare ourselves that it's going to
- 12:15Speaker 1: get worse. But I think he's so kind hearted and
- 12:18Speaker 1: sweet that he doesn't want to hurt anyone. My very
- 12:21Speaker 1: important point, and you can discuss it, is that Christina
- 12:24Speaker 1: would have gone out with Adam. She admitted she wanted
- 12:27Speaker 1: him to ask her out. I just don't love the hypocrisy. Okay, okay.
- 12:32Speaker 1: Another thing that I wanted to add before we even
- 12:34Speaker 1: move on to our next caller is that whole comparison
- 12:37Speaker 1: between me and Jared and Christina Indian. And I'm only
- 12:39Speaker 1: bring this up because I then it's it's a reason
- 12:43Speaker 1: that I feel so sympathetic towards Christina, but it's also
- 12:47Speaker 1: a comparison I've been gotten all week long on Twitter,
- 12:49Speaker 1: in on Instagram. I don't want to draw complete direct comparisons.
- 12:53Speaker 1: I do want to say that Christina and I are
- 12:55Speaker 1: similar in the way that we keep holding onto hope
- 12:58Speaker 1: um in in and even though there probably wasn't any
- 13:01Speaker 1: hope to hold onto, and people will look at us
- 13:04Speaker 1: and be like, girls, get over, pick yourself up and
- 13:07Speaker 1: go on a date with another guy. Well, in my soul,
- 13:09Speaker 1: I'm not wired like that. I cannot go on a
- 13:12Speaker 1: date with another guy, like maybe somebody else is gonna
- 13:14Speaker 1: walk down the stairs and like just leave you up
- 13:16Speaker 1: your feet. I was like, Nope, not happening. This is
- 13:20Speaker 1: this is who I want, This is my heart direction.
- 13:22Speaker 1: It takes me forever to get over someone. So I'm
- 13:25Speaker 1: totally in Christina's shoes. She can cry as much as
- 13:27Speaker 1: she wants for the remainder of the season because that's
- 13:30Speaker 1: how deeply she felt for him. And let's not shame
- 13:33Speaker 1: her emotions or think that it's something that she could
- 13:35Speaker 1: get over when she really just felt so for him,
- 13:40Speaker 1: you know, And actually I don't when when I laugh,
- 13:43Speaker 1: I'm laughing because it's just Jared. The comparison between you
- 13:46Speaker 1: and Jared gets bread up all the time. I can't
- 13:48Speaker 1: imagine what Jared's doing if he's listening to this podcasts,
- 13:52Speaker 1: definitely is gonna hate that. But you're right, I mean,
- 13:55Speaker 1: we are dealing and it's always a reminder that we
- 13:57Speaker 1: want to give us. You're dealing with real people's emotions,
- 13:59Speaker 1: as entertaining as it always is, and it's as easy
- 14:02Speaker 1: it is to watch and laugh and judge. These are
- 14:04Speaker 1: real people who are really falling for each other, and
- 14:08Speaker 1: even if it's in a consolidated environment in a quick
- 14:10Speaker 1: period of time, we have to watch it as the
- 14:13Speaker 1: viewer and say, okay, these tears are real tears. They're
- 14:16Speaker 1: not actors, they're not actresses. They really are caring about
- 14:19Speaker 1: each other, and so please give them that grace and
- 14:21Speaker 1: and please give them the benefit of the doubt when
- 14:24Speaker 1: they're confused because the person they care about is going
- 14:27Speaker 1: on a date with somebody else. That's not fun, it's
- 14:30Speaker 1: not easy. And luckily for all of us viewers out there,
- 14:34Speaker 1: these people are willing to do it in front of
- 14:35Speaker 1: us to entertain us and see if we can follow
- 14:38Speaker 1: their experience. So I always remember that, um, and thank
- 14:41Speaker 1: you so much for calling you. We really appreciate it.
- 14:44Speaker 1: Thank you, guys. And seriously, I I just I want
- 14:47Speaker 1: to be clear that I know that Jared, we were
- 14:49Speaker 1: never in a relationship, and just because somebody's feelings are
- 14:52Speaker 1: one sided doesn't discredit their feelings either. You're exactly right. No,
- 14:57Speaker 1: you're you're you're You're completely fair in that. And UM,
- 15:01Speaker 1: now it's time to see what this plays out on
- 15:02Speaker 1: Paradise this season. Do we have another caller? I would
- 15:05Speaker 1: love to ask them about the hypocrisy that Amy was
- 15:07Speaker 1: talking about a second ago. What exactly is their opinion
- 15:12Speaker 1: on the on the idea that Dean couldn't go on
- 15:14Speaker 1: a date, but Christina wanted to go on a date.
- 15:16Speaker 1: Is that is she being a hypocrite or is she
- 15:19Speaker 1: just trying to get over a guy that she really
- 15:22Speaker 1: cares about. But first, we're gonna take a little time

- 17:20Speaker 1: meet in person. I hope one day I get to.
- 17:23Speaker 1: She has made me laugh. Um, she I feel like
- 17:26Speaker 1: her and I could be great friends. We have Alexis
- 17:29Speaker 1: right now, Alexis, how you doing? Can we be honest? Alexis, like,
- 17:32Speaker 1: everybody knows who you are? Like, this is not a
- 17:35Speaker 1: perfect who the heck are you? You know who? I
- 17:37Speaker 1: don't understand who you are. I don't understand Dominique. I
- 17:40Speaker 1: don't know who the actually is, but I know you. Alexis, Hey, guys,
- 17:45Speaker 1: how do you do? Alexis? Welcome to the almost famous podcast?
- 17:48Speaker 1: I know I wish I was there in person, honestly, Alexis,
- 17:51Speaker 1: where are you right now? Then? I'm in Jersey. I'm
- 17:54Speaker 1: back in Jersey for like a hot minute, and then
- 17:56Speaker 1: I'd come back to l A. How tired of you
- 17:58Speaker 1: as across country flights? Oh my god, I'm over it already.
- 18:02Speaker 1: I can't do it. I might, I might make the
- 18:05Speaker 1: move to life too. And so it happens. I have
- 18:09Speaker 1: a question for you, and I know you probably saw
- 18:11Speaker 1: my tweet that really blew up the other day? Why
- 18:14Speaker 1: do you girls like you and I do very badly
- 18:17Speaker 1: in paradise? Like the bigger the personality, the better the
- 18:21Speaker 1: sense of humor, the worst off we are there. I know,
- 18:25Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what happened. Honestly, I
- 18:29Speaker 1: think I just I think I just kind of scared
- 18:32Speaker 1: the voice. I'm just like, I feel like that friend
- 18:34Speaker 1: zones a lot of guys tho to story of my life.
- 18:36Speaker 1: I never just an issue of mine until recently. But
- 18:39Speaker 1: Benzi actually friend zoned me. Tell us more No. I
- 18:45Speaker 1: think he was just like alexis I want you to
- 18:48Speaker 1: date my best friend, so you could be I could
- 18:50Speaker 1: be around you all the time. And I'm like, okay,
- 18:52Speaker 1: whatever that means. So I guess I'm in the friend
- 18:55Speaker 1: zone of Benzy. That was like the first week. But
- 18:57Speaker 1: then we like after the whole shutdown, we t I
- 19:00Speaker 1: just like became like more of a family, and I
- 19:02Speaker 1: kind of just saw the guys more as like brothers
- 19:05Speaker 1: and like a family. I don't know, the tool sets
- 19:07Speaker 1: down kind of like threw me off. Okay, who did
- 19:13Speaker 1: you have your eyes set on? Initially? Then, um, I
- 19:18Speaker 1: really like Benzi. I love Benza, but I don't know,
- 19:22Speaker 1: I just uh and me and Tomorrow kind of like
- 19:25Speaker 1: hit it off the first three days. So like then
- 19:28Speaker 1: you left, so it was like the story of my life.
- 19:32Speaker 1: All the guys are just leaving that. Now I'm sitting here,
- 19:35Speaker 1: I'm listening to Ashley. It's not I mean, I don't
- 19:38Speaker 1: get it either. I don't get why these guys aren't
- 19:41Speaker 1: just pursuing you like crazy because you are I mean personally,
- 19:45Speaker 1: I look at the friend zone as is maybe the
- 19:48Speaker 1: biggest company. Yeah, the perfect gateway because because they care
- 19:53Speaker 1: about you, they like you. They're not just into you to,
- 19:55Speaker 1: you know, just to to have a one night stand
- 19:57Speaker 1: or just to you know, ghost you. They're in into
- 20:00Speaker 1: you because they like you as a person. They want
- 20:01Speaker 1: to be friends with you. So that's a huge compliment
- 20:03Speaker 1: to you. And I hear that often about you. Umle
- 20:06Speaker 1: just for the people that don't know, right, Ashley's friends
- 20:09Speaker 1: with you, she relates with you. UM tell us about yourself?
- 20:13Speaker 1: How would how would the view how would our listeners
- 20:15Speaker 1: know you? What season were you on? Where are you from?
- 20:18Speaker 1: And what did you do on your season? That's memory?
- 20:23Speaker 1: I mean, I guess I'm solfing girl for life. I mean,
- 20:27Speaker 1: but I own it. I had so much fun. I'm
- 20:29Speaker 1: from next season of the Bachelor, and then I I mean,
- 20:34Speaker 1: i I'm just like, I can't every opportunity went on.
- 20:38Speaker 1: I had so much fun, Like I just I just
- 20:40Speaker 1: taught up fun. And if if I find love, that
- 20:42Speaker 1: it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't, I can't swell
- 20:45Speaker 1: on it. Oh girl, let's talk about the pizza. And
- 20:51Speaker 1: Danielle drop stated Wait is this during the Bachelor? Is
- 20:56Speaker 1: this during Bachelor in Paradise? Right? Danielle drops a piece
- 20:58Speaker 1: of pizza like she dropped you to pizzas it was
- 21:05Speaker 1: two pies. That was the most relatable thing that I've
- 21:10Speaker 1: seen on the show, well besides Christina so far this season.
- 21:14Speaker 1: Was just how emotionally disturbed you were by this scene.
- 21:19Speaker 1: I was so upset, Well, you don't You're like, don't
- 21:22Speaker 1: get who I am, and like you're just so hungry,
- 21:25Speaker 1: and it was just like so close yet so far away,
- 21:28Speaker 1: like she almost made it and then I was and
- 21:31Speaker 1: it takes so long to make the pizza there, so
- 21:33Speaker 1: I was like, I like, I can't even wait up
- 21:35Speaker 1: for another And it wasn't even just one like slice,
- 21:39Speaker 1: it was two big pies. I found her carelessness to
- 21:42Speaker 1: be disturbed. We're not exactly rooting for you right now, Danielle,
- 21:50Speaker 1: and you really just put the nail on your own
- 21:52Speaker 1: coffin there, So I was. I was so upset, Like
- 21:55Speaker 1: I think that was the only time I cried in
- 21:57Speaker 1: my entire Paradise history that leads us into it leads
- 22:02Speaker 1: me to the question, and we're just gonna get into
- 22:03Speaker 1: it here, because Alex, this is something I'm interested in
- 22:05Speaker 1: now with you. So obviously you're you're a little bit
- 22:08Speaker 1: emotionally charged when Danielle dropped the pizza. And that wasn't
- 22:12Speaker 1: just because she dropped the pizzas. I know that those
- 22:15Speaker 1: those they were looking so nice to you at that time,
- 22:18Speaker 1: but you also did it because you had an issue
- 22:20Speaker 1: on what was going on between Dean and Danielle and Christina. Um,
- 22:24Speaker 1: so let's just get into it. You at this point
- 22:27Speaker 1: in Bachelor in Paradise and I don't know where it
- 22:28Speaker 1: plays out or how it plays out. You don't like Dean, right,
- 22:31Speaker 1: Let's just be honest about that. No, I didn't like
- 22:34Speaker 1: Dean in the moment, Like I loved seeing overall, like
- 22:38Speaker 1: I love Bean now, but in the moment, I was
- 22:40Speaker 1: just so frustrated and like my jersey came out of me.
- 22:43Speaker 1: I was like it was just so awkward, Like I
- 22:48Speaker 1: was just so frustrated, and I knew that him and
- 22:50Speaker 1: Christina like spent a lot of time together, so it
- 22:53Speaker 1: was like just it was awkward. Nominally to Christina, and
- 22:58Speaker 1: like I felt for her, it was for everyone else.
- 23:01Speaker 1: I was just so uncomfortable, and I was like piste
- 23:05Speaker 1: off and then I called him like all these names.
- 23:08Speaker 1: But that's just how I get expactly, I like, I
- 23:11Speaker 1: get more frustrated when things happened to my friends and myself.
- 23:15Speaker 1: That was just like the sign of a good person. Yeah.
- 23:18Speaker 1: And also, but I'm also frid with both Deal and Christina,
- 23:22Speaker 1: so it was just like a whole awkward But I
- 23:25Speaker 1: just like knew like what Christina was going through, So
- 23:29Speaker 1: I was like senior a little dick. Okay, So two
- 23:33Speaker 1: questions for you. Were you asking Christina, hey, what happened
- 23:37Speaker 1: during the break that made him lose a little bit
- 23:40Speaker 1: of interest? Wait? Say that again, I'm sorry. Did you
- 23:44Speaker 1: ask Dean? Did you ask Christina what could have happened
- 23:48Speaker 1: during the break that made him lose some interest in her? No?
- 23:51Speaker 1: I did. I think it was just the vibe like
- 23:54Speaker 1: when they came back was all okay. I think they
- 23:58Speaker 1: just had like I think you just rushed into it
- 24:01Speaker 1: too fast, okay. And then secondly, when your friends, when
- 24:06Speaker 1: you're friends with two girls and then there's one guy
- 24:08Speaker 1: involved with both of them. How do you juggle comforting
- 24:11Speaker 1: two of them? Oh my god, I literally went on
- 24:14Speaker 1: to Paris. I swear it on I was like a
- 24:15Speaker 1: therapist I had. But I'm friends with Sarah and Raven two,
- 24:19Speaker 1: so I was like, this is awkward. And then I
- 24:22Speaker 1: had to do with Zulo and Christina, so I was like,
- 24:26Speaker 1: I mean, I want love two guys, you know. And
- 24:30Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm just getting so many questions. Ben, do
- 24:32Speaker 1: you have one before I interrupt again? No? Actually, I
- 24:36Speaker 1: just like listening to two of you. So I'm gonna
- 24:37Speaker 1: sit back and just enjoy this moment. Sorry, Ben? Yeah, Okay, Wait,
- 24:41Speaker 1: can we talk about Taylor and how insensitive she was
- 24:44Speaker 1: towards Lazy yesterday? Um, I wasn't really interesting episodes? Last
- 24:50Speaker 1: night was kind? Uh? Okay? Did you are saying? Did
- 24:56Speaker 1: you did you watch last night's episode? Okay, and let's
- 25:01Speaker 1: talk about Taylor in general. Then she just seems to
- 25:04Speaker 1: not be very sensitive towards other people's feelings. Is this
- 25:07Speaker 1: some edit that she gets or is this really her? No?
- 25:11Speaker 1: I think I honestly on the first she like on
- 25:14Speaker 1: My Paradise, I mean my Fastlor's season was nick? I like,
- 25:17Speaker 1: wasn't the biggest fan of Taylor, But then I think
- 25:21Speaker 1: this in Paradise, I really got to know her on
- 25:24Speaker 1: a different level, and I feel like she she like
- 25:28Speaker 1: does care. But I don't think her and Lacey. She
- 25:32Speaker 1: she's really cool to Dominique. That's why I think she
- 25:33Speaker 1: was just pushing Biggy onto him, I mean onto her. Okay,
- 25:40Speaker 1: that's some good insight. Can I get some more insight
- 25:43Speaker 1: from Alexis? There's something that's been on my mind for
- 25:45Speaker 1: a long time. I don't get it. I don't understand it,
- 25:49Speaker 1: and I don't know why, but every time it's it's said,
- 25:52Speaker 1: it makes me think there's some hidden meaning behind it.
- 25:55Speaker 1: Um why in this world? Because I really don't know.
- 25:59Speaker 1: Is Danielle referred to as d Low because we had
- 26:06Speaker 1: Danielle m on our season. It's just so funny. Also
- 26:10Speaker 1: how it's always like athlete. I then h like, why
- 26:15Speaker 1: does that even happen? But yeah, Danielle Um was on
- 26:19Speaker 1: our season, so like we just called Danielle Lombard, so
- 26:23Speaker 1: Danielle and then see, well so her first initial and
- 26:27Speaker 1: then just the two letters of her last name. So
- 26:30Speaker 1: there's no like, there really is no hitting me. I
- 26:31Speaker 1: always thought there had to be something else behind this,
- 26:35Speaker 1: And I have one last question. Um, so Wells and
- 26:39Speaker 1: Danielle I'll kiss last night. So I freaked out? Okay, okay,
- 26:44Speaker 1: so you didn't know, did I? It was just it
- 26:47Speaker 1: was a great moment. No, I was, and they didn't
- 26:50Speaker 1: telling me about Oh my gosh, we had no idea,
- 26:53Speaker 1: so I had to watch it. Um, we did like this.
- 26:57Speaker 1: I was in l A last week and I watched
- 26:59Speaker 1: it as well as in a room and like with
- 27:01Speaker 1: like couple producers and he like, we watched that scene
- 27:04Speaker 1: and he like did it like pality was so I like,
- 27:07Speaker 1: I was freaking out, like punching, and I was like,
- 27:09Speaker 1: how did you not pass? Like that was the hottest
- 27:11Speaker 1: kiss that I've ever seen in my wife. It was
- 27:12Speaker 1: a good kiss and the reason that I had feelings
- 27:14Speaker 1: for him for a long time. He's a really good kisser.
- 27:19Speaker 1: Oh I'm sorry. But also interesting that they've been friends
- 27:25Speaker 1: for a year and a half and then they decided
- 27:26Speaker 1: to have that first kiss on camera. Interesting, you're genuine,
- 27:30Speaker 1: I know, And it was like hot, Yeah, you could tell.
- 27:36Speaker 1: I was watching last night and before we send you off, Alexis, Um,
- 27:42Speaker 1: I was watching last night and I could just tell
- 27:44Speaker 1: there's something about to happen, Like there was so much
- 27:47Speaker 1: tension and there were so many things going through and
- 27:50Speaker 1: I knew they were friends. I had no clue this
- 27:51Speaker 1: happened either, And I'm good friends with Wealth. I'm I'm
- 27:54Speaker 1: interested now to hear where their story plays out to um,
- 27:58Speaker 1: but I kind of agree with you, Like there in
- 28:00Speaker 1: a lot of moments in this show that gets me
- 28:03Speaker 1: at my heart level right, that makes me like really
- 28:06Speaker 1: smile in like a genuine way and says, Wow, this
- 28:08Speaker 1: is I'm really happy for this moment, And that was
- 28:11Speaker 1: one of those moments for me, Like it just seemed
- 28:13Speaker 1: more real than anything I've seen on this show in
- 28:16Speaker 1: a long time. No, I was. I asked him like
- 28:19Speaker 1: a thousand questions after it happened, so with him when
- 28:22Speaker 1: we were watching it, and I was like, we saw
- 28:24Speaker 1: are you guys that could camp? Now? Like what's going on?
- 28:25Speaker 1: Did you guys look up in Nashville? Like did you
- 28:27Speaker 1: touch on new groups? Like I was really, I was like,
- 28:33Speaker 1: how could you keep this? How did you see this
- 28:36Speaker 1: of it? I ended off with So he's the best
- 28:39Speaker 1: I love him, So, yeah, it's interesting. Actually, he and
- 28:43Speaker 1: Danielle went on a date I think even before Wells
- 28:47Speaker 1: was ever on the Battelorette because they were part of
- 28:50Speaker 1: the same friend group back in Nashville. So if you
- 28:53Speaker 1: want to hear all about that, UM, I have an
- 28:56Speaker 1: interview with Wells on my I don't get a podcast,
- 28:58Speaker 1: so more in depth there. But thank you Alexis so much.
- 29:02Speaker 1: You were very informative and you're just the coolest. And
- 29:05Speaker 1: I think I share the same sentiment as the entire
- 29:09Speaker 1: Bachelor nation when I say I think everybody wants to
- 29:12Speaker 1: see more of you. Yeah, we want. Hey, make me
- 29:18Speaker 1: a deal. You're going to come back on this podcast

- 29:36Speaker 1: in Paradise, we have to talk about bioclarity because if
- 29:40Speaker 1: these people didn't have clear skin, they probably wouldn't be confident.
- 29:44Speaker 1: And if you're sitting out there and you're feeling down
- 29:46Speaker 1: about yourself because your skin is not clear, I encourage

- 31:33Speaker 1: week's episode of Bachelor in Paradise. Actually, do you have
- 31:37Speaker 1: any colors in line? Yeah, let's head over and talk
- 31:39Speaker 1: to Tori from Pennsylvania. Tori, Hi, Hi, Yeah, I hear
- 31:45Speaker 1: you have some very strong feelings about Dean and Christina.
- 31:49Speaker 1: I do watching that the other night and my mom
- 31:53Speaker 1: was dying because I was just ranting off how irritated
- 31:57Speaker 1: I felt about it. Um. Well, I love Christina. I
- 32:03Speaker 1: loved her when she was on next season. I feel
- 32:05Speaker 1: like she's so real, and so I was excited when
- 32:08Speaker 1: her and Dean got together because I was like, oh,
- 32:10Speaker 1: they can relate like with their tough upbringings and things
- 32:13Speaker 1: like that. Um, so I'm still excited when they got
- 32:16Speaker 1: together and then the whole filming stopped. Um, and when
- 32:20Speaker 1: they came back, things just weren't the same, and I
- 32:22Speaker 1: was like, oh, no, trouble in Paradise times too. So
- 32:26Speaker 1: did you think that, um, she really wanted to go
- 32:29Speaker 1: on that date with Adam or was that just a
- 32:31Speaker 1: way of getting Dean back? I think it was a
- 32:34Speaker 1: way of getting Dean back. I mean, who doesn't want
- 32:37Speaker 1: to go on a date in Mexico? But I think, um,
- 32:40Speaker 1: if she would have won, it would have been like
- 32:42Speaker 1: serving Dean his own medicine, you know, being like you're
- 32:44Speaker 1: gonna go on dates with other people? Who says I
- 32:46Speaker 1: can't do the same thing. I think you're always I
- 32:50Speaker 1: think you're always curious to know other Going on that
- 32:53Speaker 1: day is going to make them jealous and then make
- 32:55Speaker 1: them want you more, Yeah, or it could do the
- 32:58Speaker 1: complete opposite and completely break up the relationship. So I
- 33:03Speaker 1: feel like for Christina was like kind of an out
- 33:06Speaker 1: either way, like out I go on a really great
- 33:09Speaker 1: day and leave Bean behind, or like out like Dean's
- 33:13Speaker 1: going to realize what he's missing. I mean, vengeance is
- 33:18Speaker 1: never the way to approach relationship, right, I mean that's
- 33:20Speaker 1: kind of so if she is feeling that way, uh,
- 33:24Speaker 1: doing anything to get back at Dean isn't gonna work
- 33:26Speaker 1: out well in the long run for either party. It's
- 33:29Speaker 1: it's just gonna get confusing, or it's gonna pull Christina
- 33:32Speaker 1: in too many directions, or let's look at it this way.
- 33:35Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think Dean handled this situation correctly.
- 33:38Speaker 1: I don't. I think there's a lot to it that
- 33:40Speaker 1: we don't know that we didn't see. I think, um,
- 33:43Speaker 1: the way that he expressed himself wasn't clear. It wasn't
- 33:46Speaker 1: the best way to end things. I don't know if
- 33:48Speaker 1: he knows how to do that well. But he's a
- 33:50Speaker 1: good guy. We all know he has a good heart.
- 33:51Speaker 1: He wants to do this appropriately. But she's not doing
- 33:54Speaker 1: anything better by then saying, hey, I go on a
- 33:56Speaker 1: date with Adam if her intention was to get back
- 33:59Speaker 1: at Dean, because the only person hurting that is really Adam.
- 34:02Speaker 1: Like what if Adam were to fall for Christine in
- 34:04Speaker 1: that moment and then he sits stopped? Look at the situation,
- 34:07Speaker 1: say all I am is a rebound or all I
- 34:10Speaker 1: am is is an object to which you want to
- 34:14Speaker 1: get to your goal, and that's not fair to Adam.
- 34:16Speaker 1: So I don't think any person if that's how what
- 34:18Speaker 1: she was pursuing that date for, did this correctly? So true?
- 34:22Speaker 1: I would agree with you. Yeah, And don't you feel
- 34:25Speaker 1: like I feel like Dean was like showing youth and
- 34:29Speaker 1: just showing his how uncomfortable he was in hand and
- 34:33Speaker 1: juggling between two girls up until the cake. Would you
- 34:36Speaker 1: think about the half birthday cake? I don't know, Um,
- 34:45Speaker 1: it was awkward, right, I don't know. I don't know
- 34:48Speaker 1: what soil finny? Alright, I feel like, do you want
- 34:54Speaker 1: me to talk about like Delo and Dean or sure?
- 34:57Speaker 1: How do you feel like Dlo and Dean in the
- 34:58Speaker 1: constant giggling? Okay, the constant giggling. Danielle is so so beautiful.
- 35:07Speaker 1: I just feel like she's so like put together that
- 35:12Speaker 1: she doesn't have like proper reactions to things, if that
- 35:16Speaker 1: makes sense, Like she's too afraid to be silly and
- 35:19Speaker 1: like really let her guard down. And I get it,
- 35:22Speaker 1: like it's that's a common thing. But a lot of
- 35:25Speaker 1: times I'm just like Danielle, just like be yourself and
- 35:28Speaker 1: like it seems like everyone loves her. So I don't
- 35:31Speaker 1: know if it's just like being on camera or what.
- 35:33Speaker 1: But the constant giggling, I'm like, it's everything that funny
- 35:37Speaker 1: or just laugh a lot? Okay, Ben, do you think
- 35:41Speaker 1: it's cute and girls laugh a lot at you, like
- 35:43Speaker 1: with you on a date? Mm hmmm. I like to
- 35:46Speaker 1: think I'm really funny, so that makes sense. I make
- 35:49Speaker 1: really good jokes sometimes, So I hear that guys like
- 35:53Speaker 1: the giggle, like, guys like it when girls laugh a
- 35:55Speaker 1: lot on dates. But I'm not gonna laugh at you
- 35:57Speaker 1: if I don't think you're funny. Yeah, I mean you're funny.
- 36:01Speaker 1: It's often a nervous um twitch to right, like, so
- 36:05Speaker 1: when you get nervous or you're feeling awkward, like, laughing
- 36:08Speaker 1: is always a way to kind of subdue the situation.
- 36:10Speaker 1: So I understand why she would laugh, and maybe if
- 36:13Speaker 1: she gets more comfortable and she you know, we have
- 36:15Speaker 1: to remember she's brand new to this experience. She just
- 36:17Speaker 1: got there, and so let's give her the benefit of
- 36:19Speaker 1: down and say in you know, in a few weeks,
- 36:22Speaker 1: if she's still giggling after everything, Dean says, um, she
- 36:27Speaker 1: either is really in the Dean or she's just still
- 36:30Speaker 1: uncomfortable and that's not a great sign. So Hey, thank
- 36:33Speaker 1: you so much for calling, and we we we got
- 36:34Speaker 1: to get to Casey and Delaware. Casey and Delaware, you
- 36:38Speaker 1: got a great question and we cannot wait to hear it. Hi. Hey, Hello, Hi,
- 36:44Speaker 1: how are you? Um? What's the question that you have
- 36:48Speaker 1: for me? What are your thoughts on Jane and Christina?
- 36:52Speaker 1: My thoughts on Dana Christina is, first of all, I
- 36:55Speaker 1: love Dean, So I've been cutting him a break this
- 36:57Speaker 1: whole time, and the only time I've finally was like, Okay, Dean,
- 37:01Speaker 1: you're gonna give your mind is um last night or
- 37:04Speaker 1: two nights ago whenever he brought out the cake for
- 37:06Speaker 1: the half birthday. That's and I'm like, oh my gosh,
- 37:08Speaker 1: she's making it really bad for Christina. So I think
- 37:12Speaker 1: the problem with Christina is that Dean is someone who
- 37:16Speaker 1: gets away with like being wished you watched me and
- 37:18Speaker 1: just kind of like blowing off conversation. The Christina is
- 37:21Speaker 1: not firm enough with him, Like when he was on
- 37:24Speaker 1: the season with Rachel, he even said like I need
- 37:27Speaker 1: someone who's going to push me to like kind of
- 37:29Speaker 1: open up and Christina is not pushing him, and I
- 37:31Speaker 1: don't think she wants to push him because I think
- 37:33Speaker 1: her gut knows that she likes him more than he
- 37:37Speaker 1: likes her, obviously because he goes on this or he
- 37:40Speaker 1: goes on this other date with someone else. And so
- 37:43Speaker 1: I think that the problem is is that Christina likes
- 37:47Speaker 1: him more than he likes her. And so unfortunately when
- 37:51Speaker 1: that happens, as the female in that situation, like she
- 37:54Speaker 1: should just get out of that because she's gonna be disappointed.
- 37:58Speaker 1: I know, easier said than on, but I completely or
- 38:01Speaker 1: garethe you when you say that she's probably not pushing
- 38:04Speaker 1: because in her soul she knows what the answer is
- 38:06Speaker 1: gonna be, right, I mean, so what's so? What? My
- 38:11Speaker 1: my question for you then is what is the appropriate
- 38:13Speaker 1: behavior for Christina? Then? Um? You know, we we understand
- 38:17Speaker 1: both parties have some type of feelings for each other.
- 38:19Speaker 1: They've expressed that. And if even if she does like
- 38:22Speaker 1: him more than he likes her, what should she have done?
- 38:25Speaker 1: What would have been the right thing to do? Um?
- 38:28Speaker 1: I think in this situation it's paradise, So she can't
- 38:32Speaker 1: stop him from going on a date with someone else.
- 38:35Speaker 1: I think for her own sanity. I think she just
- 38:37Speaker 1: needs to say, look like, I'm done. I think you've
- 38:39Speaker 1: made your decision. If you wanted me as much as
- 38:41Speaker 1: I want you, like, you wouldn't have went on this
- 38:43Speaker 1: other date. Um, So you go ahead, you do your
- 38:47Speaker 1: thing with Danielle, but I'm done. I'm going to be
- 38:49Speaker 1: open to new people that come in because that's the
- 38:52Speaker 1: only thing that's going to get her like Overdean, even
- 38:55Speaker 1: though I mean it's obviously it's easier said than done
- 38:57Speaker 1: because she had stronger feelings, but it's one of those
- 39:00Speaker 1: things where her kind of being a being there like
- 39:04Speaker 1: that Dean knows that she's in his back pocket. Yeah,
- 39:08Speaker 1: it's just so much easier so than done being in
- 39:10Speaker 1: that situation because people are like, oh, you know, go
- 39:13Speaker 1: on onother date like somebody else, Like, no, I need
- 39:16Speaker 1: to recover from getting over this person the person yet
- 39:20Speaker 1: oh yeah, you're like, he doesn't compare, he doesn't compare.
- 39:23Speaker 1: So okay, So you have some great insight. I really
- 39:27Speaker 1: appreciate you answer my question there because I think you're
- 39:29Speaker 1: spot on right. I mean, such a hard situation for
- 39:31Speaker 1: so many people, and it's typically in life you aren't
- 39:35Speaker 1: exposed to having to date multiple people in in front
- 39:38Speaker 1: of the person you just broke up with. So it's
- 39:41Speaker 1: it's difficult, it's hard. And for Dean, now, I guess
- 39:46Speaker 1: my intrigue goes to a place of what's next, What's
- 39:49Speaker 1: how is he going to handle this situation correctly and
- 39:52Speaker 1: and choose to do something that is wise from here
- 39:54Speaker 1: on out? Because right now I don't think he's making
- 39:56Speaker 1: wise decisions. Um, so this will be I think a
- 39:59Speaker 1: season for him to grow and we'll get to watch that.
- 40:02Speaker 1: So Casey, thank you so much for your input. Um,
- 40:04Speaker 1: we appreciate it. I love you both so much and
- 40:07Speaker 1: actually you speaks what every girl think. So I really
- 40:10Speaker 1: appreciate everything that. Yeah, I love it, so, thank you
- 40:16Speaker 1: so much. That means everything to me. Ashley is every
- 40:20Speaker 1: girl's girl. And hey, I hear that we have a
- 40:23Speaker 1: guy on the line, John from d C. You have
- 40:27Speaker 1: another d MP. John, You're protein. You're protein. Well, I mean,
- 40:36Speaker 1: I don't I don't know if I want to stay
- 40:37Speaker 1: on pro Dean. I just want to push back on
- 40:39Speaker 1: the Dean slander I've been seeing on Twitter a little bit. Um,
- 40:43Speaker 1: I just think, I mean, I feel like Christina and
- 40:45Speaker 1: like lazy they're they're just taking Paradise a little bit
- 40:48Speaker 1: too seriously with everything. I feel like the places just
- 40:50Speaker 1: have fun and uh, I don't know, play the field.
- 40:53Speaker 1: I guess me new people. I feel like, I don't know,
- 40:56Speaker 1: like some people are just taking a little bit too seriously.
- 41:00Speaker 1: Hold up, hey, John, I'm gonna warn you right now.
- 41:03Speaker 1: You just you just opened up a can of worms,
- 41:06Speaker 1: and I'm gonna sit back. I'm gonna listen to you
- 41:07Speaker 1: and Ashley battle this one out for a little bit
- 41:10Speaker 1: because you um disqualified Paradise and actually does not handle
- 41:14Speaker 1: that very well. So actually get him, girl. I'm sorry.
- 41:17Speaker 1: I don't mean to disqualified Paradise. I just think in
- 41:19Speaker 1: the first few, first few episodes, first few weeks, I
- 41:21Speaker 1: think it's just it's tind to mingle a little bit.
- 41:23Speaker 1: I definitely think parad is the place where you can
- 41:25Speaker 1: find love. Um, if you kind of want to just
- 41:28Speaker 1: play the field, you've been on the Bachelor, go ahead
- 41:32Speaker 1: and play the field in your hometown. Don't go on
- 41:35Speaker 1: the show if you're just gonna mess around and just
- 41:37Speaker 1: break hearts in on the sand. Um. Okay, I think
- 41:41Speaker 1: they're I'm getting up the Dean isn't the best guy. No, no, No,
- 41:45Speaker 1: he's a good guy. He's just ignorant to his actions
- 41:47Speaker 1: right now. He's just he's unaware of how he's by
- 41:51Speaker 1: the hair. Yes, I agree with you. I agree with
- 41:54Speaker 1: you on that he's definitely very physically attracted it now
- 41:57Speaker 1: and he just wants to look at her for a while.
- 42:00Speaker 1: But I think his heart is with Christina. This is
- 42:03Speaker 1: just my personal opinion. Um, Like, tell us about your
- 42:07Speaker 1: life a little bit. How old are you? Okay, Yeah,
- 42:12Speaker 1: that's why you think Paradise is a playground. Oh jeez,
- 42:18Speaker 1: that's just what it seems like. You know what here,
- 42:22Speaker 1: you know what you're so you bring up a great
- 42:25Speaker 1: point and one that I think people need to know about.
- 42:28Speaker 1: Everybody does the Bachelor, you know for the you know
- 42:31Speaker 1: you do it for the right reasons, you have for
- 42:32Speaker 1: wrong reasons. Blah blah blah. I think we've talked about
- 42:35Speaker 1: on the podcast before. I think you did for many reasons.
- 42:37Speaker 1: And then when you're there you take it very seriously.
- 42:39Speaker 1: All I can tell you is that going into Paradise
- 42:42Speaker 1: you think of it even more lightly. You're like, I'm
- 42:44Speaker 1: gonna go hang out with all my friends. Is gonna
- 42:46Speaker 1: be so fun and then for some reason, you step
- 42:49Speaker 1: foot on that sand and everything's a big deal and
- 42:52Speaker 1: it's all about love and you want to be coupled
- 42:54Speaker 1: up immediately. And it's so funny because de Mario like
- 42:57Speaker 1: the person that you think would take it like only
- 43:00Speaker 1: for fame and only for fun. Said yesterday in his
- 43:03Speaker 1: interview with Chris Harrison. He goes, you know, I want
- 43:06Speaker 1: to have fun, and then within hours of being there,
- 43:09Speaker 1: I was like, wait a second, I can find my
- 43:11Speaker 1: wife here. It's just so funny the way your mind works.
- 43:15Speaker 1: I don't believe anything to Mario says okay, well believe me,
- 43:19Speaker 1: you know, just believe what I say. Okay, Okay, Hey John,
- 43:24Speaker 1: thanks for joining us. Man, I appreciate it. And uh
- 43:27Speaker 1: and and you got some emotion to Ashley, which is
- 43:30Speaker 1: something that I always appreciate and our listeners appreciate too,
- 43:32Speaker 1: So thanks man. Um. You know, I want to I
- 43:35Speaker 1: want to close off this Dean and Christina conversation with
- 43:37Speaker 1: with one comment here. My comment is this is I
- 43:41Speaker 1: can see, as in Paradise, how the new and shiny
- 43:45Speaker 1: thing is the most attractive thing and the in the moment,
- 43:48Speaker 1: and so we have to then, as as fans of
- 43:51Speaker 1: the show, wait and watch to see if if Dean,
- 43:54Speaker 1: if this new shiny thing is in Danielle, the thing
- 43:57Speaker 1: that just that that she just came onto the beach,
- 44:00Speaker 1: if that relationship plays out to be anything good, or
- 44:02Speaker 1: if his heart starts to turn back to Christina because
- 44:05Speaker 1: he realizes that the person that knows him best is
- 44:07Speaker 1: the person that he always that he also likes the most.
- 44:10Speaker 1: But I think it's something that we can all relate with.
- 44:12Speaker 1: We can all relate in life with the new thing
- 44:15Speaker 1: seems to be the most attractive in the moment, but
- 44:17Speaker 1: over time we realize it's not the most fulfilling, and
- 44:20Speaker 1: we typically go back to the thing that knows us
- 44:22Speaker 1: best or the thing that we know best. So that
- 44:24Speaker 1: is going to be a storyline that plays out for
- 44:26Speaker 1: the rest of the season. Something that else that I
- 44:28Speaker 1: care about that we have to talk about um is
- 44:32Speaker 1: wink Wine. And this is the reason why we need
- 44:34Speaker 1: to talk about wink Wine. It is a sponsor that
- 44:37Speaker 1: we have. We do enjoy their product, but I enjoy
- 44:40Speaker 1: their products so much that this was the gift that
- 44:43Speaker 1: I got my mom for her birthday, which is this
- 44:45Speaker 1: next week. So I got her a full year subscription
- 44:49Speaker 1: to Wink Wine because I know how much she likes wine.
- 44:51Speaker 1: But I also know how much a gift like this
- 44:53Speaker 1: can keep giving it. It can be shared with your friends,
- 44:56Speaker 1: it can be shared with your family. So I want
- 44:58Speaker 1: to tell you a little bit about Wink Wine. If
- 44:59Speaker 1: you if you get the opportunity, um, when you have
- 45:02Speaker 1: a great glass of wine, it enhances the moment, right,
- 45:04Speaker 1: I mean, whether we reflecting on the day with some
- 45:07Speaker 1: many love or watching Bachelor in Paradise. Wink understands this, Okay.

- 45:16Speaker 1: to exceptional wines from around the world, so you can
- 45:19Speaker 1: have more of those kind of moments, those moments that

- 46:28Speaker 1: gift my mom, and I love my mom dearly, so
- 46:30Speaker 1: obviously this is a great product. Hey Ben, Is it
- 46:33Speaker 1: just me or do moms end up enjoying wine even
- 46:37Speaker 1: more with age? Uh? Yeah, I think so. My My
- 46:42Speaker 1: my mom's very very spry young person, so with every birthday, though,
- 46:47Speaker 1: I do see her maybe enjoying a glass of wine
- 46:49Speaker 1: a little bit more. That's true. I want I wonder
- 46:52Speaker 1: why that is. But honestly, I think, uh, everybody, you know,
- 46:56Speaker 1: I'm seeing a lot of men too, And I know
- 46:58Speaker 1: this is that oftentimes you don't so shape, you know,
- 47:00Speaker 1: men with a big glass of red wine. But I
- 47:02Speaker 1: think a lot of people are are loving themselves some
- 47:04Speaker 1: wine these days. So UM, if you need a place
- 47:06Speaker 1: to go to, Wink has everything you need. Actually, I
- 47:10Speaker 1: want to run back. Then we we've talked a lot
- 47:11Speaker 1: about Dean and Christina, so let's not touch on it
- 47:13Speaker 1: as much as what we could because we keep going
- 47:15Speaker 1: and going. There's a lot to it. I want to
- 47:17Speaker 1: see if we can just run down this week's episodes
- 47:20Speaker 1: of Bachelor in Paradise, because there's a lot that happened,
- 47:23Speaker 1: including the tomorrow interview, UM that we all believe it
- 47:26Speaker 1: was gonna be juicy or do we all believe we
- 47:28Speaker 1: get some answers from and I want to hear UM
- 47:31Speaker 1: later on if you believe we got the answer we needed.
- 47:33Speaker 1: But to start, But to start this conversation, UM, let's
- 47:38Speaker 1: talk about Raven. Raven is uh and I heard somebody
- 47:42Speaker 1: explaining her this this episode as probably the most desired
- 47:45Speaker 1: woman UM during this season in Paradise. And I want
- 47:48Speaker 1: to know what is it about Raven in your eyes
- 47:50Speaker 1: that so many people are so attracted to? UM. I
- 47:55Speaker 1: would say it has to do with her sweet boys,
- 48:00Speaker 1: her like demeanor, her very feminine Southern demeanor, Her body
- 48:06Speaker 1: is great, she seems to get along with everyone. Yeah,
- 48:10Speaker 1: I mean she does you know she does. I mean,
- 48:11Speaker 1: she speaks. I think everybody kind of likes her, and
- 48:14Speaker 1: I watched these episodes and and she's friendly with everybody. Um,
- 48:18Speaker 1: But at the same time, I don't understand this part
- 48:21Speaker 1: of paradise. Actually, How does because I've never been ob
- 48:24Speaker 1: to be this person, I don't get away with anything.
- 48:25Speaker 1: I get in trouble for everything I do. I can
- 48:28Speaker 1: try to do the best thing, and I still get
- 48:29Speaker 1: in trouble for it. How does somebody go on so
- 48:32Speaker 1: many dates, three different dates, and not that she shouldn't
- 48:35Speaker 1: because it's the concept of the show, but that there's
- 48:38Speaker 1: no repercussions because then and not to go back to
- 48:41Speaker 1: Dean because I don't want to go back to this.
- 48:42Speaker 1: But then Dean goes on to a date with two
- 48:44Speaker 1: separate women and he's just complete ostracize, He's hated, he's
- 48:49Speaker 1: he's hate mailed, and Raven. Doesn't we say, oh, how
- 48:52Speaker 1: cute for Raven. She's just trying to find love, Isn't
- 48:55Speaker 1: That's so funny? It's very hypo critical. My only the
- 48:59Speaker 1: only thing I can think of to excuse that is
- 49:02Speaker 1: it just seems like Dean and Christina were initially far
- 49:05Speaker 1: more invested in each other than Raven has been with
- 49:08Speaker 1: any of these other guys. Raven doesn't seem to be
- 49:11Speaker 1: like leading these guys on at all. She just is
- 49:14Speaker 1: making them seem like possible. On a date, kissed a girl.
- 49:17Speaker 1: Twelve minutes later, went on another date the first girl's bawling.
- 49:22Speaker 1: Good for Diggy, No, I think that was messed up.
- 49:24Speaker 1: I felt again for Lacy because I again have been
- 49:28Speaker 1: the situation where I've come back from a date. Then
- 49:33Speaker 1: it's happened both of my seasons. I no, I was
- 49:38Speaker 1: mad at I thought I was lame of Welles to
- 49:40Speaker 1: do that. I think I think it depends on it
- 49:43Speaker 1: just you know what it comes down to. It just
- 49:45Speaker 1: depends on the person people, and that's not fair to me.
- 49:51Speaker 1: It's not fair. It's not fair. But then why do
- 49:54Speaker 1: you say that, What does that mean you make the
- 49:56Speaker 1: statement it depends on the person. There's has to be
- 50:00Speaker 1: something behind this, because this isn't just in paradise, this
- 50:03Speaker 1: isn't in life, right I've I've talked about and joked
- 50:05Speaker 1: about it many times with my friends. Is there's some
- 50:07Speaker 1: people that can get away with anything. Nobody ever gets
- 50:09Speaker 1: mad at that. Nobody ever gets frustrated with what is
- 50:12Speaker 1: it when you say it's just the person in your opinion,
- 50:15Speaker 1: that makes it just the person. I can only speak
- 50:18Speaker 1: from experience. I'm thinking about last season. I won a
- 50:21Speaker 1: great date with Wells. Then he the next two days,
- 50:25Speaker 1: he went on two more dates consecutively, and then I
- 50:29Speaker 1: was like, the oh, actually so desperate. Actually it's at home.
- 50:32Speaker 1: She's upset that he's going on the days, but Wells,
- 50:34Speaker 1: it is so hot. He's the bachelor in Paradise. But then,
- 50:37Speaker 1: like in this case, Dean goes on two days with
- 50:41Speaker 1: two super girls and he is just totally vialified. It
- 50:43Speaker 1: just doesn't make sense. And I can only say it's
- 50:45Speaker 1: gonna be a person by purpose, person basis. I mean,
- 50:48Speaker 1: so let's let's let's make this about me for a second. Okay, Um,
- 50:53Speaker 1: let's just imagine that I'm in Paradise, uh, and I
- 50:58Speaker 1: do a very similar thing that Raven did in in
- 51:00Speaker 1: reverse roles. I'm going on dates. Um, you you and
- 51:04Speaker 1: I both know, and I think we can admit to this.
- 51:06Speaker 1: It would not go over easy with anybody. People be
- 51:08Speaker 1: very upset, especially especially viewers of the show. I think
- 51:11Speaker 1: you would see a lot of of questions and concerns
- 51:14Speaker 1: and very similar what deans getting. If I did that,
- 51:16Speaker 1: I can just imagic because I've been. I just know
- 51:18Speaker 1: how people react to the decisions I make. What is
- 51:20Speaker 1: it about me actually, in your opinion that would make
- 51:23Speaker 1: people react that way? I think that they think you're
- 51:26Speaker 1: the kind of guy who has the decision making skills
- 51:30Speaker 1: to choose the one person that he likes the most
- 51:33Speaker 1: and to stick it through. Well, I mean, but you're
- 51:36Speaker 1: in paradise, like I just got, and I'm we're just
- 51:39Speaker 1: spit ball here. This is all role play. But you're
- 51:41Speaker 1: in paradise, Okay, There's tons of people coming in and out.
- 51:45Speaker 1: You just got to know these people there. Everybody's attractive,
- 51:48Speaker 1: everybody's interesting. You all have common interests in common bonds.
- 51:52Speaker 1: So why won't you explore it? Like, why do you
- 51:54Speaker 1: just choose to choose the stick stick it out with
- 51:57Speaker 1: the one person if you aren't feeling it? And I'm
- 52:00Speaker 1: all for exclusivity, like I monogamy is something that I
- 52:04Speaker 1: want and desire and think it's best. But when you
- 52:07Speaker 1: choose to put yourself in an environment we're dating multiple
- 52:10Speaker 1: people is the format and it is known widely known.
- 52:15Speaker 1: Why is it unacceptable to do that. I have no idea.
- 52:18Speaker 1: It's a great question. I think that some people have
- 52:22Speaker 1: like the label loyal on them and then the other
- 52:25Speaker 1: people have the label fun and flirty. And I think
- 52:29Speaker 1: for you, you definitely had that stamp that says loyal. Yeah,
- 52:33Speaker 1: and that's fair and that's what I want, you know.
- 52:35Speaker 1: I guess my argument there and we can move on
- 52:37Speaker 1: from this, is that there when we talk about loyal
- 52:41Speaker 1: I believe you're loyal when you've made a commitment. And
- 52:43Speaker 1: if you haven't made that commitment, if you haven't openly
- 52:46Speaker 1: communicated with the person and say, hey, you and I
- 52:48Speaker 1: are going to try to stick this out, or you
- 52:49Speaker 1: and I are going to do this thing together into
- 52:51Speaker 1: the moment that we can no longer do it, or
- 52:53Speaker 1: we just move on in life like maybe they date
- 52:55Speaker 1: forever off of it. Until you are openly discussing those
- 52:58Speaker 1: type of things, loyalty is it, You're still exploring, You're
- 53:02Speaker 1: still inquisitive about who's out there, and so, uh, my
- 53:06Speaker 1: definition of loyal to be until you've openly communicated and
- 53:09Speaker 1: made that decision, then it doesn't necessarily come to play.
- 53:11Speaker 1: But that's just me. I mean, I haven't been to Paradise.
- 53:13Speaker 1: I have no clue how would handle it. I'm just
- 53:15Speaker 1: watching it as a viewer and I'm saying, how do
- 53:17Speaker 1: how does Diggie get away with this? How does ra
- 53:19Speaker 1: even get away with this? But yet some people are
- 53:22Speaker 1: just totally hated on for doing the same thing. It's
- 53:25Speaker 1: never made sense to me. I don't know if it
- 53:26Speaker 1: ever will, um Ben, I wish I had a better
- 53:30Speaker 1: answer for you. It's just it's something that's a little
- 53:32Speaker 1: mind boggling. It's something that I think we need to
- 53:34Speaker 1: talk to other people about, get like outside Bachelor Nation
- 53:38Speaker 1: point of views on Yeah. I mean, luckily we have
- 53:41Speaker 1: an email that people can email to, or as we
- 53:44Speaker 1: mentioned at the front of the podcast, we now have
- 53:48Speaker 1: a call line and you can leave a voice message.
- 53:51Speaker 1: The number is eight three three two three six six
- 53:53Speaker 1: two seven four. We want to hear after you listen
- 53:57Speaker 1: to this podcast your opinion on this matter. Please leave
- 53:59Speaker 1: a wasteamil. We're not gonna be able to get to everybody,
- 54:01Speaker 1: but actually are just trying to gain some insight, some
- 54:03Speaker 1: wisdom into this um. But we got to move on
- 54:06Speaker 1: to probably the biggest topic in the Bachelor franchise in years, right,
- 54:11Speaker 1: We talked, We've talked, We've done interviews about it. Actually,
- 54:13Speaker 1: you and I both have our opinions on it. We
- 54:15Speaker 1: don't necessarily agree on everything, but we at least know
- 54:17Speaker 1: where each other stands. This week, Chris Harrison did an
- 54:20Speaker 1: interview with The Mario to discuss the situation that went
- 54:22Speaker 1: down in Paradise between himself and Karine. Actually, you have
- 54:27Speaker 1: a unique perspective on this interview, and I want to
- 54:29Speaker 1: hear your thoughts on a couple of things. Was Demorrio authentic?
- 54:33Speaker 1: Was he genuine and coming out of that interview? Now,
- 54:36Speaker 1: what are your thoughts towards a situation? Um, My biggest
- 54:40Speaker 1: bone to pick and last night's interview seems to be
- 54:44Speaker 1: that people are really um making this a de Mario
- 54:49Speaker 1: versus Karin debate, and it certainly isn't. I think everybody
- 54:53Speaker 1: needs to remind themselves that this whole controversy started because
- 54:58Speaker 1: somebody in the production in realm didn't feel comfortable with
- 55:02Speaker 1: what they saw or heard was going down. It had
- 55:04Speaker 1: nothing to do with Karin having a problem with Tomorrow
- 55:07Speaker 1: or Tomorrow having a problem with Karin. Yeah, I guess,
- 55:12Speaker 1: I mean, I don't I don't know what necessarily say
- 55:15Speaker 1: this actually, but I think that was all true up
- 55:18Speaker 1: until the point where and Tomorrow spoke on it. Karin
- 55:21Speaker 1: said she was a victim. So if you're a victim,
- 55:22Speaker 1: you're a victim to somebody or your victim to the show.
- 55:25Speaker 1: Is that what she meant? And this is a good
- 55:26Speaker 1: This is a good topic because I don't know if
- 55:27Speaker 1: I have any clarity on this was Curren saying she
- 55:30Speaker 1: was a victim to to the production and the show
- 55:33Speaker 1: or she a victim to Tomorrow. I think we talked
- 55:35Speaker 1: about this last week. Karin certainly needs to clarify that statement. Um,
- 55:40Speaker 1: did she mean tomorrow? Did she mean production? And I
- 55:42Speaker 1: think she will do that next week, so I think
- 55:45Speaker 1: we shouldn't even talk about that. Obviously. Tomorrow was very
- 55:48Speaker 1: emotional last night. Um, he seemed genuine. He definitely has
- 55:53Speaker 1: the support of his cast members, which means a lot
- 55:55Speaker 1: Um Jasmine and Raven, we're obviously very emotional in the
- 56:00Speaker 1: man's They just do not want their friends to be
- 56:02Speaker 1: seen in a poor light for like the rest of
- 56:04Speaker 1: his Google life. Yeah, I mean, and that makes sense, right.
- 56:08Speaker 1: I mean, if as we talked about before, you and
- 56:11Speaker 1: I still don't have a lot more information we did
- 56:13Speaker 1: months ago on the matter. We just wanted the truth
- 56:15Speaker 1: to come out. And that's what that's kind of how
- 56:17Speaker 1: we stand as as this podcast or as friends, as
- 56:19Speaker 1: we just want the truth to come out, and and
- 56:22Speaker 1: wherever the truth takes you, then we make that decision.
- 56:24Speaker 1: And if the truth is that everything was dismissed based
- 56:27Speaker 1: on the investigation, then you hope that the Mario's name
- 56:30Speaker 1: is not ran through the mud forever, because that's really
- 56:33Speaker 1: unfortunate to him, right. I mean, last night, one of
- 56:35Speaker 1: the moments that really stuck out to me was when
- 56:37Speaker 1: he said he has just imagined a couple of times
- 56:40Speaker 1: the fact that his kids will google his name and
- 56:42Speaker 1: this will be the first thing that comes up. That's hard,
- 56:45Speaker 1: and that's difficult, and and and people twenty years from
- 56:48Speaker 1: now I won't understand the situation like we do today. Right,
- 56:52Speaker 1: They're only going to get these little brief synopsis is
- 56:55Speaker 1: and they're not going to see his whole media tour.
- 56:57Speaker 1: He's done a great job this week about owing to
- 57:00Speaker 1: all these outlets and being super articulate and being very smart,
- 57:05Speaker 1: seeming and well put together. The only thing I have
- 57:07Speaker 1: to say about tomorrow and his speech is I wish
- 57:10Speaker 1: he would eliminate some of the curse words. It's like, dude,
- 57:14Speaker 1: you know what I curse of fine amounts. You know,
- 57:18Speaker 1: you're just about to drop out in my real life,
- 57:22Speaker 1: But when I'm on the podcast, when I'm on Access Hollywood, like,
- 57:25Speaker 1: I never let it slip. It's just that's something you
- 57:28Speaker 1: can hold back, and for some reason he has no
- 57:30Speaker 1: desire to. Yeah, it kind of takes away from it.
- 57:33Speaker 1: So I guess that's that's my next question for you then?
- 57:36Speaker 1: Is is he being genuine? Is he being authentic or um?
- 57:39Speaker 1: I mean, I know how it is, uh And we
- 57:41Speaker 1: talked about in the podcast a while back. I know
- 57:43Speaker 1: how it is when you do media tours right after
- 57:45Speaker 1: a while, you do have to become vague and you
- 57:47Speaker 1: do come deco, become desensitized to some of the things
- 57:51Speaker 1: you're talking about because you talk about them over and
- 57:53Speaker 1: over and over and over again. So last night, when
- 57:56Speaker 1: you're watching this, we've gotten a lot of emails and
- 57:58Speaker 1: callers call in say they are wrying during tomorrow's interview.
- 58:01Speaker 1: They were there emotional with him and for him, just
- 58:04Speaker 1: like Raven and Jasmine were. My question for you is
- 58:08Speaker 1: were you feeling that way? I don't know. I think, Um,
- 58:13Speaker 1: I feel like I may be a little jaded in
- 58:15Speaker 1: the situation because I'm so in this, but I wasn't there,
- 58:21Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like I'm in this world.
- 58:23Speaker 1: I hear things, but I wasn't there, So I don't
- 58:26Speaker 1: know if I can determine how genuine he was I loved.
- 58:30Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna go with my gut and say
- 58:33Speaker 1: that he has been greatly affected by this and it's
- 58:36Speaker 1: a really, really unfortunate situation that nobody had to go through.
- 58:39Speaker 1: And I don't think he did anything wrong. Um, I
- 58:45Speaker 1: just I wasn't like moved tears in by any means
- 58:48Speaker 1: makes sense. He's an actor. He's also an actor. Whoa whoa,
- 58:52Speaker 1: whoa wha. You just can't throw that out there. What
- 58:53Speaker 1: do you mean by that he has a past? Like
- 58:56Speaker 1: he called himself an actor. I think before Rachel see
- 59:00Speaker 1: in he has those TMZ videos with Britney Spears, Like,
- 59:04Speaker 1: this guy has been dying to be famous, and I
- 59:06Speaker 1: think he's finally getting the attention and he's been craving. Yeah,
- 59:10Speaker 1: I doubt it's the attention that he would want to crave,
- 59:12Speaker 1: but but he is getting attention and I mean, people
- 59:17Speaker 1: do know his name now, and unfortunately, as we talked
- 59:19Speaker 1: about many times, actually you know, I've talked about it
- 59:22Speaker 1: offline a lot is being famous is not fulfilling, but
- 59:26Speaker 1: it is a vacuum that sucks you in and sucks
- 59:28Speaker 1: you up and can suck you dry. And unfortunately, it
- 59:31Speaker 1: can completely change who you are as a person. And
- 59:35Speaker 1: hopefully I beg of Tomorrow if you listen to this,
- 59:38Speaker 1: which who knows if he does or not, or any
- 59:39Speaker 1: of these people out there, any of our listeners, don't
- 59:42Speaker 1: let attention change you, or don't let attention change your
- 59:47Speaker 1: value system, because if you do, you're gonna end up
- 59:49Speaker 1: in a situation that twenty years from now you might
- 59:53Speaker 1: not like. And it seems maybe attractive at the moment,
- 59:55Speaker 1: but long term it's not. It's not at all, Um
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: the legacy you want to live. And I hope that
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: Tomorrow now is speaking authentically that he is upset, that
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: he just wants us to go away. Um, that the
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: fame that's coming from this is not something he wants.
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: And so it's interesting that you would that. I mean,
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: that is something to think about. He he is an actor.
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: I saw that tmz R video that he did with
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: Britney Spears. It does seem weird, doesn't it? And I
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: don't know talking Okay, So he told Brittany in this interview, Um,
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: He's like, Yo, Brittany, I'm gonna be star, Like, how
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: are you? Like, I'm gonna I'm going I'm gonna be
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: big in Hollywood. Like he really pumped himself up in
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: this two thousand nine like uh TMZ catching Brittany getting
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: into her car video and yeah, let me clarify. Obviously
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: he didn't want the attention from this. I think that
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: all of his words are genuine. Did I think he
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: hammed it up a bit? I think there's a chance.
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: I don't want to I don't want to say that.
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: I think he was acting in that mark. You both
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: thought interested in what Karin has to say, you know
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: in the next episode. I wish you know what. I
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: wish they taped this together. They taped this on the
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: same day, within the same amount of hours. They didn't
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: get to watch each other. I would have loved to
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: have Karine watched Tomorrio and then come back and rebuttal Um,
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: I'd like to have her respond directly to what she saw.
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if anything. I guess maybe
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: I'm for forgetting something, but I don't remember anything last night,
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: and Tomorrow said that she would necessarily need to rebuttal
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: with and so I'm interested in what Karin has said
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: because I do want her to explain the victim comment. Um.
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: I want to know more so that you know, if
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: this is gonna be a public matter, and this is
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: going to be criticized and judged and talked about in
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: the public setting, then we shouldn't. I think people should know, um,
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: why things were said or done the way they were done,
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: who exactly she's frustrated with and that at and then
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: looking back on her experience. You know, Tomorrow was very
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: open about how much he cared for Karin, like how
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: much he still respected Karin. Um. I want to hear
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: if she feels that same way about Tomorrow. I want
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: to I want to hear if through this whole process,
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: all she wanted was for this to kind of get
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: cleared up, um, and for nobody's name to be dragged
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: through the mud. I find it interesting they haven't spoken
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: since the incident, uh to Mario mentioned this, I think
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: last night, but he definitely mentioned it to me and
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: my Access Hollywood interview, he said the ball is in
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: her court. Yeah, I don't get that. He I guess
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: he did reach out in that d M right. He
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: had said to her like, whoa, we broke Paradise. He
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: said that last night, and maybe that was him reaching
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: out and now he's waiting for a response. I don't know.
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's definitely odd. Well, it's
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: gonna play out and it's gonna be interesting. Um. I
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: think this next week in our next podcast, we'renna have
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: a lot more information after hearing from Karin um. But uh,
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: it is a storyline that obviously has kind of um
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: sucked the bachelination in and after watching last night, it
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: does seem like Demorrow's confidence is a little shook. But
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: somebody's confidence wasn't shaken last night. I don't know if
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: anybody else saw this, um but but but Robbie, the
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: guy with the hair where a suit last night during
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: this interview that is emotional and is intimate and is
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: a huge, huge topic that screams confidence. I mean, this
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: guy better be dating somebody after paradise because he's walking
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: on He's walking on water right now. I thought you
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: were gonna say, not about his soup, but about the
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: fact that Chris asked Raven how he was at kissing
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: and then Raven said, I plead the fifth and then
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: Robbie was like, well, I think it was a great kiss. Yeah. Yeah,
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: I mean, hey, he knows, he knows what he wants
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: and he's gonna say it. Um I I do. I mean,
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: he's screaming confidence right now. So if he doesn't end up,
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: I mean, I think we all kind of have an
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: idea that he ends up with somebody after Paradise. But
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: if he doesn't, then this will be very confusing for
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: me because he just seems very comfortable in his own skin.
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: Do you wear that pink suit? Uh? Amy? I Well,
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: he had the shirt unbuttoned a little bit, and you
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: could tell like he had that like chest line that
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: happens when people are really uh muscular showing. I don't
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: have that, So I don't think I could rock it
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: the way he does, but yeah, i'd wear I mean,
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: maybe maybe that's the next step, is I gotta start
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: expressing myself better through the clothes I'm wearing um because
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, sometimes I got some confidence.
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: I have got the talk about how funny Amanda was
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: when she rejected the kiss from Robbie. Um, she's like,
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: I just don't really know if I feel like, um,
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: she having a kiss yet. And he is just like
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: sweating there looking like a Josh Murray too point now,
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: you know, because like losing the cool physically, and then
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: he looks like an eighties pop star, like he looks
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: like Kenny Loggins to me with the beard Kenny Loggins. Yeah, Um,
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: I mean, you're right, Yeah, she's she's she seems to
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: attract these these sweaty guys and um, I mean what
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: you know, I don't what is it. They're shiny, maybe
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: they're they're they're literally the new shiny thing that comes
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: in the paradise that she's so attractive to Amanda so
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: undercover reel like she pre sends herself like this little barbie,
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: you know, like the sweetest speaking boys who has never
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: said anything controversial. But then like she just says this
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: is the most authentic things, Like, you know, I'm not
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: really sure, you know, she's always true to herself. Yeah,
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: I mean I got to know that side of Amanda
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: during the Bachelor, and I guess I never pictured Amanda
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: as somebody that was um, this little like doesn't say
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: anything very PC type person because I never saw that,
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: so maybe I just have a different perspective Amanda. She's
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: always been very um open about what she's thinking and feeling.
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: She can communicate herself very well, like I don't know
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: if you've seen that yet, but she's she's a great communicator.
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: She's very clear and what she says um. But it's
- 1:06:08Speaker 1: interesting and and I want to keep watching. But it's
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: interesting that a man has been so quiet this season
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: so far. I mean, she she is one of the
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: most sought after women and but yet she she just
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: kind of keeps the back to the background. So will
- 1:06:22Speaker 1: be interesting if she kind of steps forward um during
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: the season Bachelor. Yeah, I just want I'm saying this
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: stuff because I want people to know the real Amanda,
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: who doesn't always shine through on the show. Yeah. Well,
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: maybe this isn't her arena, but who knows. Maybe she
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: ends up at the end of the season with somebody,
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: um that she really cares about, and we can all
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: watch Amanda fall in love once again because I think
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: all of us would appreciate it and love it, because
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: I think all of us do like Amanda for the
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: woman she is, um and something else that we love,
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: something else that we love for the thing it is
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: is movement watches. And actually I know that you love
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: yourself some movement watches. I see it on your Instagram.
- 1:07:04Speaker 1: You aren't ashamed of them, so hey talk about them.
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: I love movement watches because they're found out them to
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: believe that styles shouldn't break the bank. They're very expensive
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: looking watches that aren't that expensive. They're high fashion, high quality,
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: but at revolutionarily low prices. So this company was actually
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: started by two broke college kids and they wanted to
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: wear stylus watches but couldn't afford them, so they started
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: their own watch company. Um, these movement watches started just
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: nine dollars. But at any department store, if you're looking
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: at watches like these, that would probably cost you at
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: least four hundred five bucks, four hundred or five hundred bucks.
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: I mean that's insane. So here's the deal. If you
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: movement watches like as you said, Justine today today they're
- 1:07:55Speaker 1: off with free shipping and free returns. All you gotta
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: do is go to envy empty dot com slash almost famous.
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: That's m v empt dot com slash almost famous by
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: a watch Join the Movement, Ashley. Yeah, it is so
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: good to talk to you again. It is so good
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: to be able to sit down for two nights of
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: my week and Bachelor in Paradise every time, and then hey,
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: get to come in here and talk about it with
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: all you lovely people out there. Yeah. But we'll be
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: back next week and I'll tell you what I'm excited
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: about it. We're gonna see Karin. We're gonna talk about
- 1:08:31Speaker 1: the Dean ruined his chances chances to be the Bachelor.
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: And then a question that I'm wondering, Um, and I'm
- 1:08:37Speaker 1: extremely interesting because I have no insight into it. Who
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: is going to be the Bachelor? Could it be somebody
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: that we don't know yet, could it be somebody from
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: way long ago. It's not gonna be me. You guys
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: going to be no idea. How much of my week
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: has been dedicated to the speculation of who's going to
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: be the next Bachelor. Uh. People are just very very
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: confused because it just seems like, well, it seems like
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: Peter is not in the running anymore, and you're basically
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: said no, but we basically has said no, and Dean
- 1:09:07Speaker 1: is maybe screwing his chances on Paradise. So and you know,
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: as you've heard it here on the Almost podcast, Ben
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: is not doing it this season. So good luck Bachelor
