- 0:03Speaker 1: with our radio What's up everybody? I've been and I'm
- 0:10Speaker 1: actually and we are back and ready and excited to
- 0:15Speaker 1: bring you another episode of the almost Famous podcast. I'm
- 0:19Speaker 1: telling you what Actually. Our email has been filled up
- 0:22Speaker 1: this week, um with one of the most surprising topics,
- 0:26Speaker 1: um that we've ever talked about. And I didn't think
- 0:28Speaker 1: it would be as popular as it is, but it's
- 0:30Speaker 1: the daddy topic. So bananas. How many opinions you guys
- 0:34Speaker 1: have on this? I mean, I knew when Vinnie said it,
- 0:38Speaker 1: I was a little confused. I had heard it a
- 0:40Speaker 1: couple of times. I just didn't realize that this is
- 0:43Speaker 1: actually a thing that is sweeping the world. I mean,
- 0:46Speaker 1: we have people from the Philippines emailing us saying, you know,
- 0:50Speaker 1: I don't know about this daddy thing, but I can
- 0:52Speaker 1: see why I would be attractive. And we also have
- 0:53Speaker 1: people all over the world saying, yeah, I don't get
- 0:56Speaker 1: it at all. I am. I've been thinking about it
- 0:58Speaker 1: a lot this week, and I'm kind of liking the
- 1:02Speaker 1: whole like, oh, he's a daddy, Like I like that
- 1:04Speaker 1: kind of you're a weirdo. But I would never ever
- 1:09Speaker 1: say tell my significant other like, I never call him daddy,
- 1:13Speaker 1: but he's a daddy. I kind of get that. Now. Yeah,
- 1:17Speaker 1: well we have Lexi. One of the we pulled out
- 1:19Speaker 1: a couple of emails, and I just want to scan
- 1:20Speaker 1: through a couple of them. We have Lexi email us. UM.
- 1:23Speaker 1: Speaking of calling their significant other daddy, Alexei says she
- 1:26Speaker 1: calls her significant other daddy. Um. It's it all comes
- 1:30Speaker 1: from humor, um, but it also uses a place to
- 1:33Speaker 1: bring him comfort. She says that he says it in
- 1:36Speaker 1: a fun, loving, kind of joking way. She goes, whenever
- 1:39Speaker 1: my boyfriend does something I find sexy. See this is
- 1:42Speaker 1: the part that I don't get sexy and and daddy
- 1:45Speaker 1: should not come together. But whenever I find that my
- 1:46Speaker 1: boyfriend does something sexy, I jokingly say, oh, daddy. And
- 1:51Speaker 1: while I stay in a joking done, he knows I
- 1:54Speaker 1: also mean business. You have to read this. I feel
- 1:59Speaker 1: like it comes from some women's desire to be dominated
- 2:03Speaker 1: in the bedroom, because most women see their fathers as
- 2:08Speaker 1: an authority figure. Oh you know, this is a whole
- 2:10Speaker 1: level of creepy. Let's move on to Jillian. Now, Okay, Lexie,
- 2:14Speaker 1: I get where you're coming from, but we should stop
- 2:17Speaker 1: it there. Um. Jillian emails us and says she just
- 2:22Speaker 1: thinks it's inappropriate. Um, there's no reason why any girl
- 2:26Speaker 1: should call their guy daddy. Um. But she says, maybe
- 2:30Speaker 1: she's trying to figure it out with us right here.
- 2:31Speaker 1: She goes, maybe it comes from a place of kind
- 2:33Speaker 1: of like a desire to have babies with the guy,
- 2:35Speaker 1: like she actually wants him to be the daddy of
- 2:38Speaker 1: her kids. Um. I mean, I guess I don't know
- 2:41Speaker 1: women that well, but I feel like we're really digging
- 2:44Speaker 1: deep for that. Wait, Ashley, I have a question because
- 2:46Speaker 1: somebody did mentioned this to me. What do you call
- 2:49Speaker 1: your father? Well? I call him dad or daddy today.
- 2:53Speaker 1: I said last week that it was disturbing because like
- 2:55Speaker 1: in my phone, it's under daddy And it depends, like
- 2:59Speaker 1: it depends on how I'm feeling. Obviously, like if I
- 3:02Speaker 1: want something, I'd be like daddy, you know, daddy. But
- 3:07Speaker 1: like if I'm just like if I have a question
- 3:10Speaker 1: for him, like I need like some financial advice or whatever,
- 3:13Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, dad, dad, you know what I mean?
- 3:16Speaker 1: So does he respond to both? Actually? I mean I
- 3:19Speaker 1: feel like as a father, if my daughter was in
- 3:21Speaker 1: the like in the bottom floor, and I was upstairs.
- 3:23Speaker 1: She's telling Daddy, daddy. I just wouldn't ignore. I can't
- 3:28Speaker 1: wait for that to happen one day certainly. Well, so
- 3:31Speaker 1: my uncle will still call my grandmother mommy, and I
- 3:36Speaker 1: think that is so aird he's fifty seven years old.
- 3:40Speaker 1: What do you call your mom? Ben? What do you
- 3:43Speaker 1: and mother? You call her mother? Yeah? Sometimes I go hey, mother,
- 3:51Speaker 1: it's like a yeah or mom. I mean, that's the
- 3:56Speaker 1: weird part of this whole thing is I mean, there
- 3:59Speaker 1: is this love and I thought about it last this
- 4:01Speaker 1: week as reading to these emails, there's this level of
- 4:03Speaker 1: like calling somebody daddy does have this connotation now where
- 4:06Speaker 1: it is a little more sexy, It is a little flirtatious,
- 4:09Speaker 1: It is lighthearted. Um, but I don't want to cross
- 4:12Speaker 1: this boundary because I don't want this like daddy to
- 4:15Speaker 1: become this very like flirty like word that's used and
- 4:19Speaker 1: then women like women like you actually have to look
- 4:21Speaker 1: back and be like, I've called my dad daddy for
- 4:24Speaker 1: the last twenty years, and now I feel so awkward.
- 4:27Speaker 1: I like, how strong do you feel? Like you actually
- 4:29Speaker 1: want to start a campaign like the anti daddy campaign
- 4:32Speaker 1: I do, and I think honestly, Um, there's one other
- 4:35Speaker 1: email that I want to read through here before we
- 4:37Speaker 1: move on that might agree with me on this. Um.
- 4:40Speaker 1: Is Abella Um. She says, it's just awkward to refer
- 4:43Speaker 1: to anybody as daddy. It's disgusting, and it has become
- 4:47Speaker 1: a thing for girls to call her boyfriend's daddy, especially
- 4:50Speaker 1: when it's getting intimate. That's just wrong in every possible way.
- 4:53Speaker 1: I cringe at the thought of it. Isabella, you and
- 4:55Speaker 1: I are on the same team here. I have to
- 4:59Speaker 1: mention this. I'm reading these emails along with Ben, and
- 5:02Speaker 1: he keeps taking out the compliments towards himself, Like Lexi says,
- 5:07Speaker 1: Ben is the hottest man in the history of the
- 5:10Speaker 1: known universe, and I have a small poster of him
- 5:13Speaker 1: in my room even though I'm in college, and he
- 5:15Speaker 1: has a total daddy. And then Isabella goes, I would
- 5:20Speaker 1: call Ben a hottie if I saw him walking down
- 5:22Speaker 1: the street comment because he just can't read them himself.
- 5:29Speaker 1: But I thought everybody out there shouldn't know. Well. Speaking
- 5:34Speaker 1: of daddy is one of my personal favorites. Joe Jonas
- 5:38Speaker 1: got engaged this weekend and I heartest break my hearts
- 5:45Speaker 1: or like I heart but my heart or okay, well
- 5:51Speaker 1: for all of the people who out there know me. Um,
- 5:54Speaker 1: they introduced me on The Bachelor, um as somebody who's
- 5:58Speaker 1: gone to seven Jonas with a concerts. Like, in all seriousness,
- 6:02Speaker 1: I had a fan base before I was even appearing
- 6:04Speaker 1: on TV because they let out some facts about some
- 6:08Speaker 1: of the girls on Crystal Season, and one of mine
- 6:10Speaker 1: was I've been to twenty seven Jonas brother concerts and
- 6:14Speaker 1: I got so many girls who were like, oh, I'm
- 6:15Speaker 1: gonna like this girl. So I mean, I can do
- 6:18Speaker 1: an entire podcast about my love of the Jonas Brothers
- 6:21Speaker 1: boy bands in general. Yeah, but we're not going to
- 6:24Speaker 1: do that. We're not going to do that. I do
- 6:26Speaker 1: want to tell a funny story from last year when
- 6:29Speaker 1: I kind of knew that Sophie Turner maybe Joe's one
- 6:35Speaker 1: he loved the love of his life. Alright, So obviously
- 6:39Speaker 1: Joe was the object of all of my affection from
- 6:41Speaker 1: the ages of nineteen to twenty two. And Joe he
- 6:45Speaker 1: knows this. It's very embarrassing. Um. He he knew that
- 6:50Speaker 1: I was a stalker fan. And then somehow I became
- 6:52Speaker 1: on the Bachelor, and then he had to like run
- 6:54Speaker 1: into me backstage at events and it was just very abnormal.
- 6:57Speaker 1: Um But eventually I actually got kind of friendly with them. Um.
- 7:02Speaker 1: Nick especially thinks I'm not so creepy anymore. Nick thinks
- 7:05Speaker 1: I'm a weirdo and hilarious, and I would call us friendly.
- 7:10Speaker 1: So I've hung out with the guys before, but every
- 7:13Speaker 1: time I hang out with Joe, he always has a girlfriend.
- 7:16Speaker 1: Like one time we were all hanging out like a
- 7:18Speaker 1: big group of us. No, I've never hooked up with
- 7:20Speaker 1: a Jonas brother. I know that those questions are inevitable,
- 7:23Speaker 1: so I'm just putting that out there. So we were
- 7:25Speaker 1: hanging out a group of ton of us and he
- 7:28Speaker 1: was with Gigi. And then last year I was at
- 7:31Speaker 1: the I Heart. We were at I Heeart Festival and
- 7:33Speaker 1: Joe was backstage and he came up and said hi
- 7:36Speaker 1: to me, and I was like, oh, wait a second,
- 7:39Speaker 1: maybe I should get back on this Joe Jonas train.
- 7:41Speaker 1: He's single. So then for like four weeks I was
- 7:46Speaker 1: totally in my head like, oh, this Joe thing could
- 7:49Speaker 1: actually happen now. And then I was like asking Amy, like, hey, Amy,
- 7:52Speaker 1: if there are any d n c E concerts like
- 7:55Speaker 1: you gotta get me back there? You remember that I did?
- 8:01Speaker 1: So then we're a jingle ball and I'm going to
- 8:05Speaker 1: go to the d n C after party. My best
- 8:08Speaker 1: friend is there with me. I'm losing Cake by the
- 8:12Speaker 1: Ocean Joe's band b n C. That doesn't stand for
- 8:17Speaker 1: Cake by the Ocean. No, you know the song Cake
- 8:19Speaker 1: by the Ocean. No no, no no, no no, no no, yeah no,
- 8:23Speaker 1: I know the song, but what is the like? What
- 8:26Speaker 1: does it mean? Oh? I don't know what d n
- 8:28Speaker 1: c E stands for? You know what what you're talking?
- 8:32Speaker 1: Email a true super fan and find that out. Okay, okay, okay, okay,
- 8:37Speaker 1: ha ha ha. I've been I've been really under control
- 8:40Speaker 1: and calm and not like not as crazy John b.
- 8:44Speaker 1: We used to call it John Bees Jonas zombies. Um
- 8:49Speaker 1: so okay. From the festival September, you guys for me, Okay,
- 9:04Speaker 1: Well it's about to get worse. Okay. So that was
- 9:06Speaker 1: at the festival, the I Heart Festival in September when
- 9:09Speaker 1: I started putting these thoughts back into my head. My
- 9:12Speaker 1: twenty two year old self was coming back to life,
- 9:14Speaker 1: and I was thinking that Joe Jonas was a viable
- 9:16Speaker 1: option for me. And then come like the first week
- 9:20Speaker 1: of December, we were at I Heart Single Balls in
- 9:22Speaker 1: New York City and uh, I go the d n
- 9:25Speaker 1: C after party my best friend and I are there
- 9:28Speaker 1: with Tanya from My Heart. If you guys may know Tanya,
- 9:31Speaker 1: she's also been on Becca's podcast lately. And uh so
- 9:36Speaker 1: at this party chatting with Nick Jonas, and I tell Nick,
- 9:39Speaker 1: I go, so, I'm gonna go talk to your brother
- 9:41Speaker 1: for the first time in my life because even though
- 9:43Speaker 1: we've hung out in the same vicinity before, We've never
- 9:46Speaker 1: had a conversation. Joe's always like, Hi, good to see you,
- 9:50Speaker 1: like really soft spoken and gives me a hug and
- 9:52Speaker 1: then like that's it. So I go. I am a
- 9:55Speaker 1: little drunk, and I go, Nick could go talk to him,
- 9:58Speaker 1: and then he's like okay, And then I go over.
- 10:01Speaker 1: Joe's by himself at the bar. He's got one friend,
- 10:03Speaker 1: but they're not talking. So I'm like, this is my opportunity.
- 10:06Speaker 1: And I knew that he was dating Sophie Turner, but
- 10:07Speaker 1: I thought it was just like a fling, and I
- 10:09Speaker 1: thought they were together like six weeks. You know, what
- 10:11Speaker 1: the heck does that mean? So I go over to
- 10:13Speaker 1: Joe and I go, hey, so my best friend is
- 10:16Speaker 1: talking to your brother. So I just thought i'd come
- 10:18Speaker 1: over here and say how do you? And then he
- 10:21Speaker 1: goes hi, and that was that was it. And then
- 10:24Speaker 1: I waited a beat. I waited like thirty seconds to
- 10:27Speaker 1: see if he'd say anything else. He didn't, so I
- 10:30Speaker 1: pivot turned and I was like, and that is the
- 10:33Speaker 1: most demoralized I've ever been in my entire life. And
- 10:38Speaker 1: people people tell me, I think it's just because he's
- 10:41Speaker 1: dating someone and he must really like her. And while
- 10:43Speaker 1: he liked her enough to propose, So there we go. Yeah,
- 10:47Speaker 1: I mean, did you didn't cause that break up? All right, Okay,
- 10:52Speaker 1: the story is done, and you guys might think it's silly,
- 10:54Speaker 1: but there's gonna be a lot of people that really
- 10:56Speaker 1: appreciate that story. All right, let me break this down
- 11:00Speaker 1: and so much more. But so maybe we come back
- 11:03Speaker 1: to this afters because for sure, all right, let's do it.
- 11:09Speaker 1: Let's get does on the phone. Yeah, that's a good
- 11:11Speaker 1: idea because I need a minute and a drink all
- 11:16Speaker 1: of that. Um, speaking of drinks, we have a new
- 11:19Speaker 1: sponsor who is one of my favorites that we've ever had.

- 13:53Speaker 1: where I was so excited the first time I ever
- 13:54Speaker 1: met you and Chris. Um, you were two of the
- 13:57Speaker 1: best people I've ever met. And I mean that we're
- 14:00Speaker 1: We did a McDonald's commercial together, Remember that. Yeah, yeah, definitely,
- 14:05Speaker 1: And at that time you hadn't had your child yet, right, No, No,
- 14:09Speaker 1: that was that was man, how long ago? That was
- 14:12Speaker 1: like two and a half years ago. Yeah, yeah, I'm
- 14:14Speaker 1: getting up there in age. It's been a while, uh
- 14:17Speaker 1: since we did it. But you and Chris old, that's right.
- 14:21Speaker 1: And it was amazing to me because I was so
- 14:22Speaker 1: nervous during that time my life. It was while The
- 14:24Speaker 1: Bachelor was airing, and um, I was so nervous and
- 14:28Speaker 1: you and Chris is really were I want to stay
- 14:31Speaker 1: down to earth. But that just makes you sound like No,
- 14:33Speaker 1: you're just great people and you were fun and you
- 14:36Speaker 1: made me remember after walking out that commercial shoot, walking
- 14:39Speaker 1: out there going okay, I'm gonna be okay, like if
- 14:41Speaker 1: people um can come at us and be as awesome
- 14:43Speaker 1: as them, Like, I don't think I'll completely lose myself.
- 14:46Speaker 1: I'll just do it a little bit. Oh that's nice
- 14:49Speaker 1: of you to say, well, we we thought the same
- 14:52Speaker 1: to you when we first met you. Well, I hope
- 14:55Speaker 1: that's continued. Do you still love up to it? You
- 14:58Speaker 1: still love up certainly does. He's the greatest, he does.
- 15:04Speaker 1: Your baby Asher is turning one this week in two days.
- 15:09Speaker 1: One of the big plans for his first birthday, Well, ironically,
- 15:14Speaker 1: um my, both of my sister in laws we all
- 15:18Speaker 1: had babies the same week, so we're doing a joint
- 15:22Speaker 1: birthday with the other two. So there's three of them
- 15:25Speaker 1: that were all born within a week of each other.
- 15:27Speaker 1: Oh wow, that's crazy. What are you doing. We're just
- 15:31Speaker 1: keeping it low with Loki with some family. Are they
- 15:34Speaker 1: dressing up? I think uh no, But that's actually a
- 15:38Speaker 1: good idea. We'll we'll be doing trick or treating later,
- 15:42Speaker 1: but that actually is a good idea. We could dress
- 15:44Speaker 1: him up as you know. Whatever the scene with one
- 15:48Speaker 1: year old birthday party is, is is that it's usually for
- 15:49Speaker 1: the parents. It's not really for the kids. They don't
- 15:52Speaker 1: have a clue, right, I've never been like a big
- 15:55Speaker 1: fan of like big birthdays for kids, like kardashian esk
- 15:58Speaker 1: birthday parties. For these kids, they're like, oh, yeah, they're
- 16:01Speaker 1: not going to remember this. They're not even gonna be
- 16:03Speaker 1: able to participate. Yeah. Never, But it's fun. It's been
- 16:08Speaker 1: a lot of fun. I just can't believe this whole
- 16:10Speaker 1: year has just flown by. Um we wanted we were
- 16:14Speaker 1: talking about daddy's before, and we're talking about like how
- 16:19Speaker 1: attractive a daddy, how attractive that women can find guys
- 16:25Speaker 1: as fathers. Have you been more attracted to Chris as
- 16:29Speaker 1: a dad? Absolutely, There's something so special about like the
- 16:34Speaker 1: bonds that they have with their child. And it's been
- 16:37Speaker 1: so cute now that Asher is like a little older
- 16:39Speaker 1: and like he's walking and um, you can just tell
- 16:43Speaker 1: the bonds that he has to with Chris, and I
- 16:46Speaker 1: don't know, it's so cute. Oh my gosh. I mean,
- 16:49Speaker 1: I guess because I've met Chris right before the father
- 16:53Speaker 1: Like what are his best qualities as a father then
- 16:56Speaker 1: his dis qualities. I mean, he's very thoughtful and I
- 16:59Speaker 1: think that's just always been equality that he has. But
- 17:02Speaker 1: he always makes sure that like I'm taking care of
- 17:05Speaker 1: that Ash has taken care of, and like as a
- 17:07Speaker 1: family were taken care of. Um. I think that's just,
- 17:11Speaker 1: you know, that's just innate quality that he has. And
- 17:14Speaker 1: that's like one of the coolest parts to me is
- 17:16Speaker 1: when I met you too, and um, you know, actually
- 17:19Speaker 1: I've talked about a lot, actually truly believed that the
- 17:22Speaker 1: show can bring love about and you're the perfect example
- 17:25Speaker 1: for it. And now you've started this little family and
- 17:28Speaker 1: we've talked um to Carly and Evan, who you know
- 17:31Speaker 1: are getting ready started. They've already kind of joined together
- 17:33Speaker 1: and there for this new family. I mean, what is
- 17:36Speaker 1: it like now? I'm really interested in this looking back
- 17:40Speaker 1: on your time as a bachelor at to see how
- 17:41Speaker 1: that ended, to know how you met Chris, and now
- 17:43Speaker 1: looking at your family today, does it just kind of
- 17:46Speaker 1: feel surreal now or does it all make sense? Like
- 17:48Speaker 1: what is your take experience? I mean, it's so surreal.
- 17:51Speaker 1: I think no matter where you meet though, like even
- 17:54Speaker 1: just entering into parenthood is such a huge step and
- 17:58Speaker 1: you have to make sure you are with the right person. Um,
- 18:02Speaker 1: and I think, I mean with the show. Yeah, it's
- 18:05Speaker 1: definitely an interesting way to meet your significant other, but
- 18:09Speaker 1: it totally works. And just like any other relationship, you like,
- 18:14Speaker 1: you meet on the Bachelor, you meet in a cop shop, whatever,
- 18:16Speaker 1: but you have to spend time to get to know
- 18:19Speaker 1: each other and obviously know that you're gonna be good
- 18:22Speaker 1: parents and good you know, partners for each other through life.
- 18:25Speaker 1: And um, when I look back, it's just, I mean,
- 18:28Speaker 1: it honestly feels like it's been ten years because we're
- 18:32Speaker 1: so far removed from you know, who we were when
- 18:35Speaker 1: we first met. Now we've just grown so much, So
- 18:38Speaker 1: it's just it's weird sometimes to look back. Yeah, we
- 18:44Speaker 1: still watch it. It's been I mean, it's been a
- 18:46Speaker 1: little harder since having asture to like stay involved, but
- 18:50Speaker 1: we love watching it. It's so much fun and I
- 18:52Speaker 1: love seeing the relationships form. I remember watching your season.
- 18:58Speaker 1: I was in school and I was was was a
- 19:00Speaker 1: guy friend and he was like, would you ever go
- 19:03Speaker 1: on this show? And I was like, yeah, probably like
- 19:07Speaker 1: a fun guy like Chris, I would. Yeah, there you go.
- 19:10Speaker 1: That's so funny. But I mean, look what happened and
- 19:13Speaker 1: now you guys have this awesome show. Are you guys
- 19:15Speaker 1: dating anyone? That's a great question, Ashley. Are you we
- 19:21Speaker 1: go on dates dating anyone exclusively? Yeah, we'll say like
- 19:27Speaker 1: we we already get enough rumors out there. Actually date
- 19:31Speaker 1: other people, you know, try and um, never go back
- 19:35Speaker 1: on Bachelor in Paradise, O paradise. Probably not paradise. But
- 19:39Speaker 1: I never say, yeah, maybe you should just create your
- 19:44Speaker 1: own like dating show on this on this podcast that
- 19:49Speaker 1: we're doing, we're all about fun and love. Yeah, I
- 19:55Speaker 1: think you guys should choose someone for the other, like
- 20:00Speaker 1: to go on a blind date. I think, Um, but
- 20:04Speaker 1: we never did it, so we'll get back to it. Um.
- 20:07Speaker 1: You know when we started out this whole podcast with
- 20:09Speaker 1: a goal to find Ashley a partner, because I just
- 20:11Speaker 1: wasn't ready at that time. Um, the thing is, and
- 20:16Speaker 1: maybe it was the goal of this podcast for me.
- 20:18Speaker 1: I guess I didn't fell you on that, my bad, bad,
- 20:21Speaker 1: um desert. I have one question for you and and
- 20:24Speaker 1: before because I know you have some stuff I really
- 20:25Speaker 1: want to highlight here. Um, but you don't get to
- 20:29Speaker 1: ask many people this from the franchise, and and it
- 20:32Speaker 1: is a personal question, so if you want to answer
- 20:33Speaker 1: to high level that's completely fine. But so you come
- 20:36Speaker 1: off the show with Chris, when did you know, Like
- 20:39Speaker 1: when was the moment you looked at him and go, Okay, yes,
- 20:41Speaker 1: this actually will be in my husband and the father
- 20:45Speaker 1: to my children. Because I haven't talked to anybody's came
- 20:48Speaker 1: off this show yet with a partner and been you know,
- 20:50Speaker 1: there's been things that they've learned about each other. There's
- 20:52Speaker 1: been really tough situations, there's been difficulty. There's been the questions,
- 20:56Speaker 1: when were you super confident that you and Chris we're
- 20:58Speaker 1: going to be with each other for ever? Honestly, I
- 21:01Speaker 1: swear to you when like when he proposed, because I mean,
- 21:06Speaker 1: obviously whatever my season showed, they didn't show like we
- 21:10Speaker 1: talked about so much prior to him even getting down
- 21:13Speaker 1: on one knee that like we were set in what
- 21:17Speaker 1: our future would look like, Like we knew before he proposed,
- 21:21Speaker 1: like I would move to Seattle because I didn't really
- 21:25Speaker 1: have roots in California and it just made the most sense.
- 21:29Speaker 1: And then if it didn't work out in a year,
- 21:30Speaker 1: then we would revisit that. But I don't know, I
- 21:33Speaker 1: think like I knew that I guess I take that back.
- 21:36Speaker 1: I knew that we would obviously see like where it
- 21:40Speaker 1: would go and that it did feel completely right. But um,
- 21:44Speaker 1: I think after the first year of being together, because
- 21:47Speaker 1: that first year is always the hardest, as I'm sure
- 21:50Speaker 1: you know you know too. In any relationship, it's the hardest,
- 21:54Speaker 1: but it's definitely it's especially hard after coming off the
- 21:57Speaker 1: show because of you know, everyone else also interested in
- 22:01Speaker 1: your personal life. I know that first year is it's hard,
- 22:06Speaker 1: and that's the thing that people don't understand, you know,
- 22:08Speaker 1: it's I actually was just talking to Rachel about this
- 22:11Speaker 1: the other day at lip Sync Battle and she goes,
- 22:13Speaker 1: it's crazy because as soon as the press is done,
- 22:17Speaker 1: reality starts and so like, I mean it literally remember
- 22:20Speaker 1: the moment for for me where everybody left, you know,
- 22:23Speaker 1: the the TV cameras and the handlers and the and
- 22:27Speaker 1: the producers all left and it was just myself and
- 22:30Speaker 1: my relationship to kind of figure out. And it is
- 22:32Speaker 1: a weird feeling. Um. And it's really great that you
- 22:35Speaker 1: two made it out and that you you now are
- 22:37Speaker 1: starting this family. Um, but you've also started your own
- 22:40Speaker 1: a little deal with a wedding drop a dresses is correct, Yeah,
- 22:43Speaker 1: tell us about it. Yeah, So I've always I mean,
- 22:47Speaker 1: even prior to the show, I was in the wedding
- 22:48Speaker 1: industry and I loved helping brides find their dresses. But
- 22:52Speaker 1: I also have a design background. So ever since I
- 22:56Speaker 1: was like nineteen, I knew that I wanted to design dresses.
- 23:00Speaker 1: So it's just been awesome to be able to really
- 23:02Speaker 1: bring that to life. And UM, I don't know. I mean,
- 23:06Speaker 1: obviously a lot of it has helped from the platform
- 23:09Speaker 1: of the show, and I will always be grateful for,
- 23:11Speaker 1: you know, that opportunity. Um, but it feels so good
- 23:15Speaker 1: to finally be doing what what I am meant to
- 23:18Speaker 1: be doing, you know, like, um, so yeah, I launched
- 23:22Speaker 1: my first debut collection by myself. Um. I did partner
- 23:27Speaker 1: with a company a few years ago, but now this
- 23:30Speaker 1: is like I'm on my own and I'm just designing
- 23:33Speaker 1: a bunch of waiting dresses and I love it. If
- 23:36Speaker 1: you could dress any of the unmarried bachelor couples, so
- 23:43Speaker 1: to dress Caitlin Raven for Oh, that's such a good
- 23:50Speaker 1: question question as um can I say all three? I
- 23:58Speaker 1: would definitely No, you can casually, she can't. You're right now,
- 24:02Speaker 1: she can't. That's really bad journalism, k like to a
- 24:05Speaker 1: dress Caitlin because she um, because I have more of
- 24:08Speaker 1: a boho like style with my design, and so I
- 24:12Speaker 1: think she would be more open to like an edgeer. Look, okay,
- 24:15Speaker 1: I like that. I like that. And then okay, okay,
- 24:21Speaker 1: I'm down. Let's just like you know, we are a
- 24:23Speaker 1: little while. But I will remember this. Um, what is
- 24:27Speaker 1: one big mistake that brides make? You've had so much
- 24:29Speaker 1: interaction with bride's Oh yeah, one mistake? Um, I think, um,
- 24:38Speaker 1: oh man, they make a ton though uns. I know
- 24:43Speaker 1: there's such a it's such a stressful time for people
- 24:46Speaker 1: that it shouldn't be. But um, I think a lot
- 24:48Speaker 1: of times they put too much weight on other people's opinions.
- 24:53Speaker 1: I think that's a huge mistake because it's your day
- 24:56Speaker 1: and you know it's hopefully only gonna happen once, and
- 25:00Speaker 1: you want to make sure that it's everything you want
- 25:04Speaker 1: in that way your friends want are your family or
- 25:06Speaker 1: your mom. You know how much say yes to the dress?
- 25:09Speaker 1: Did you watch while putting together this line? I love
- 25:13Speaker 1: saying us to the dress. I I could watch it
- 25:16Speaker 1: every day, even just background, because it's like in the background,
- 25:20Speaker 1: even if I'm like this, you know, doing health stuff.
- 25:23Speaker 1: It's the best background. And if I love it, do
- 25:29Speaker 1: you watch it to you? Then it's just comforting. I mean,
- 25:32Speaker 1: there's nothing that stresses me outlets. I have one final
- 25:39Speaker 1: question for you days about what your dress is. How
- 25:42Speaker 1: much do you think ladies should spend on their dress
- 25:44Speaker 1: because some of these girls go in to say yes
- 25:47Speaker 1: to the dress with really low budgets and some of
- 25:50Speaker 1: them you're like, why would you ever spend twelve dollars
- 25:53Speaker 1: on a dread? Totally I'm all for affordability and budgeting
- 25:58Speaker 1: because my whole thing too was like, no one want
- 26:00Speaker 1: should go into debt over a wedding at all, and
- 26:03Speaker 1: so um, I mean I try, I'm trying to keep
- 26:06Speaker 1: my Like my line is, the dresses ranged anywhere from
- 26:10Speaker 1: two to three thousand UM, and that's pretty average. And
- 26:14Speaker 1: I don't I don't think anyone just spend more than
- 26:16Speaker 1: five Yeah, that's as much of my car is worth
- 26:20Speaker 1: right now. I don't know it really is. Yeah, I
- 26:25Speaker 1: just got I just got an insurance check for for
- 26:28Speaker 1: hal damage and so I know exactly how much of
- 26:30Speaker 1: mine is worse. So serious. Yeah, so we can go
- 26:33Speaker 1: into that if if you're excited about talking about hal damage.
- 26:36Speaker 1: But I care about the hall and it was brutal. Um,
- 26:41Speaker 1: it was actually brutal. But doesn't really appreciate you coming

- 30:10Speaker 1: dark again on this podcast, let's go back to a
- 30:12Speaker 1: second to a topic that we didn't quite get to finish. Okay,
- 30:15Speaker 1: this is the Joe Jonah story. We were just talking
- 30:18Speaker 1: on it. Actually, I have a question for you. Okay,
- 30:20Speaker 1: here's the deal, and I want you to be honest
- 30:23Speaker 1: with me because it's a topic that a lot of
- 30:24Speaker 1: people deal with and I hear you talk about it often.
- 30:27Speaker 1: So if you saw Joe Jonas, okay, first off, I
- 30:29Speaker 1: want to make a comment for him, just to look
- 30:31Speaker 1: at you and say, Hi, No matter if he's a
- 30:32Speaker 1: girlfriend or not, is just how you still are so
- 30:36Speaker 1: hyped up on this guy is impressive because I if
- 30:38Speaker 1: I ever did that to a woman, I guarantee you
- 30:42Speaker 1: they would walk away and never be as giggly and
- 30:44Speaker 1: excited to talk about me as you are with Joe Jonas. Well,
- 30:47Speaker 1: you're right, I mean it's very it's very interesting. I
- 30:50Speaker 1: don't know. I obviously knew at that point it was
- 30:53Speaker 1: never going to happen between us, and you didn't know
- 30:58Speaker 1: that before. That was the moment that you're that, yes,
- 31:01Speaker 1: he really went up there thinking like this could be
- 31:03Speaker 1: the one no, no dead serious, thought like this could
- 31:06Speaker 1: be the time in our lives where we'd actually date.
- 31:08Speaker 1: You don't even know, Like one time I gave them
- 31:11Speaker 1: a gift, like when they were on tour, during their
- 31:14Speaker 1: little bit longer tour, Like I gave them each personalized gifts,
- 31:17Speaker 1: and you weren't the one. Probably they were playing softball,
- 31:23Speaker 1: so we got them really decorated softball bats. Um, don't
- 31:27Speaker 1: very weird. But then eight years later, I'm like, okay, okay,
- 31:31Speaker 1: we're here at the same party. I was invited as
- 31:34Speaker 1: an I heeart guest. I walked the same red carpet
- 31:37Speaker 1: he did. I think that maybe he can look at
- 31:38Speaker 1: me a little bit more as an equal, a little
- 31:41Speaker 1: bit less as a creeper fan. And I'm like his
- 31:44Speaker 1: brother thinks I'm hysterical. We have great conversation he Nick,
- 31:54Speaker 1: Nick and me and Nick and then like Kevin thinks
- 31:57Speaker 1: I'm cool. Um, but just he has zero desire to
- 32:02Speaker 1: speak to me. So if you saw the Jonas brothers
- 32:05Speaker 1: separately walking down the street, okay, and they weren't famous,
- 32:09Speaker 1: they were just they're just themselves. They they're software salesman,
- 32:13Speaker 1: they're car salesman, and the one guy worked at Zarah. Okay,
- 32:16Speaker 1: a lot of software salesmen aren't just guys. I know.
- 32:21Speaker 1: I'm just saying the Jonas brothers just we're just talking
- 32:24Speaker 1: about would you find them as attractive as they are today? Uh? Probably?
- 32:30Speaker 1: I think the only thing I would think of was like, oh,
- 32:32Speaker 1: they're kind of short, but their phrases are gorgeous. Okay.
- 32:36Speaker 1: That's like okay, So that's this is a topic that
- 32:37Speaker 1: I want our listeners to email and about. Okay, what
- 32:41Speaker 1: celebrities are found to be so attractive, both male and
- 32:44Speaker 1: female bos celebrities are found to be so attractive. But
- 32:47Speaker 1: if you saw them on the street and they weren't famous,
- 32:51Speaker 1: would you say, Okay, I don't see it. I mean,
- 32:53Speaker 1: because I think that's the thing, right, For some reason,
- 32:55Speaker 1: we're obsessed with celebrity. We're obsessed with the idea of
- 32:58Speaker 1: that person's famous, and as a result, they're more active,
- 33:00Speaker 1: But in reality is that really fair? And why is it?
- 33:04Speaker 1: Why do we feel that way? This is a great,
- 33:06Speaker 1: great question, and I have two answers for you. One,
- 33:09Speaker 1: Harry Styles. If I saw him walking on the street,
- 33:12Speaker 1: I'd be like, holy fucking who is that person and
- 33:16Speaker 1: why aren't they famous? That face and that speaking voice.
- 33:20Speaker 1: If he just said hello, I don't I can't do it,
- 33:23Speaker 1: then I'd be like, what in the world there is
- 33:25Speaker 1: this for of it? But then um, because I think
- 33:29Speaker 1: that Harry Styles, even with his name, was just destined
- 33:31Speaker 1: be famous, Like you can't have that phase, that warmth,
- 33:34Speaker 1: that talent being yeah, without being famous, he was meant
- 33:39Speaker 1: to famous. My other celebrity crush who I don't think
- 33:43Speaker 1: I would have. Who I don't know if he would
- 33:45Speaker 1: have such an overcoming feeling for me if I just
- 33:49Speaker 1: saw him passing by, is Milo vent Amilia. I think
- 33:54Speaker 1: that this man is quite something. It may have to
- 33:57Speaker 1: do with his character on the show. But can I
- 33:59Speaker 1: just tell a story really quick? I know my stories
- 34:02Speaker 1: are long and boring, but they're exciting in their anti climatics. Okay, yeah,
- 34:07Speaker 1: they they they are, and so is this one? So
- 34:11Speaker 1: love This is Us? Think his character Jack on This
- 34:14Speaker 1: is Us is just magical, Like he's a great dad.
- 34:18Speaker 1: He just exudes this warmth, right But like I didn't
- 34:21Speaker 1: think he was the hottest that. I never really thought
- 34:23Speaker 1: he was the hottest thing. But then I went to
- 34:26Speaker 1: this panel discussion in May with all that this is
- 34:30Speaker 1: us cast and he came on stage and something about
- 34:33Speaker 1: his in person presence overwhelmed me, and I just think
- 34:38Speaker 1: he it can do no wrong. Really, I mean that's great.
- 34:42Speaker 1: I mean that's but it's true. Right. So there's a
- 34:44Speaker 1: couple of people that hold themselves very well in person.
- 34:47Speaker 1: There's other people that don't. And I think all the
- 34:49Speaker 1: listeners please email in with any celebrity you think are
- 34:52Speaker 1: is so attractive right now, But if you really broke
- 34:55Speaker 1: it down and you considered who they were and if
- 34:58Speaker 1: they weren't famous, would you find them less attractive. I'm
- 35:01Speaker 1: just interested my two answers, Milo and Harry. I think
- 35:04Speaker 1: they would have an even greater effect on me in
- 35:06Speaker 1: real life than they do as like a celebrity. Um,
- 35:09Speaker 1: but it you mean Julia Roberts like husband, Yeah, I
- 35:17Speaker 1: mean he landed Julia Roberts. So there's obviously something going
- 35:20Speaker 1: on there right here, obviously is yeah, all right? Who
- 35:24Speaker 1: has a great effective to you while watching them on screen.
- 35:26Speaker 1: Who's your celebrity crush? I mean my celebrity crush has
- 35:29Speaker 1: always been Jennifer Anderson. I mean she, Halle Berry and
- 35:33Speaker 1: Jennifer Anderson have had my youthful heart since the day.
- 35:38Speaker 1: That is like basic man, that's and that's completely fair.
- 35:41Speaker 1: I'm totally okay being a basic man. Actually, did you
- 35:44Speaker 1: ever see January Jones talking about you on Cordon? No?
- 35:47Speaker 1: It's no, what's that about? Somebody emailed us about it,
- 35:50Speaker 1: So I recently watched on YouTube. She basically was talking
- 35:52Speaker 1: about how she likes the Bachelor and she's got a
- 35:54Speaker 1: crush on Ben and then she talks about you for
- 35:57Speaker 1: maybe like a minute, and then she switches real quick
- 36:00Speaker 1: to Nick. You were in and out very quickly. But yeah,
- 36:05Speaker 1: I mean what about you and January Jones? Yeah, because
- 36:07Speaker 1: she might be into it. I mean January Jones is
- 36:11Speaker 1: I mean, maybe one of the most beautiful people in Hollywood. Um,
- 36:15Speaker 1: I haven't seen this yet. I'm a little bit I
- 36:17Speaker 1: don't know how to respond to this. Is there a
- 36:19Speaker 1: future of January and I? Um, you never know her.
- 36:22Speaker 1: She would do it. Her publicists seems to be shooting
- 36:25Speaker 1: it down, she says, not in there. Yeah, she says,
- 36:28Speaker 1: because she wanted to maybe be the bachelorette, and then
- 36:30Speaker 1: her publicists said, no, my publicist is shutting it down.
- 36:33Speaker 1: To yeah, they I was going to say, I was
- 36:38Speaker 1: gonna say, we'll have Ben's publicists call her puls Oh man. Well,
- 36:45Speaker 1: that's nice to January to say. It's always nice to
- 36:47Speaker 1: hear somebody give you a compliment, especially when it's on
- 36:50Speaker 1: national television. So January, if you're listening to Almost Famous podcast,
- 36:54Speaker 1: I appreciate you. Thank you for making me feel a
- 36:56Speaker 1: little bit better about myself today than I did about
- 36:58Speaker 1: an hour ago. Um to have to watch that to
- 37:00Speaker 1: see erect she wanted to call you daddy, Um, we
- 37:04Speaker 1: would have to talk about that. I don't see that
- 37:06Speaker 1: being a great move by January if she wants to
- 37:08Speaker 1: make this a long term relationship. UM. Okay, I know
- 37:12Speaker 1: this is so random, but I love this conversation. I
- 37:15Speaker 1: know you do, because it's about Yes, actually this is
- 37:18Speaker 1: right down your avenue, like this is your questions like
- 37:22Speaker 1: I know you do. But the listeners don't want to
- 37:23Speaker 1: know about who I find fresh. I think you want
- 37:26Speaker 1: to know who your man crushes. Oh that's easy. Um,
- 37:30Speaker 1: it would have to be either Harrison Ford or Kevin Costner.
- 37:34Speaker 1: Very basic, You're just classic. You're just classic, Ben. I
- 37:37Speaker 1: don't know why that's basic Kevin Costner is, Isn't it
- 37:40Speaker 1: like an alpha like he is, He's a mountain man,
- 37:43Speaker 1: he's an actor, he runs a ranch. Like that's that's
- 37:46Speaker 1: a solid human being Like that is not basic, solid
- 37:49Speaker 1: reason to have a man crush on someone too. I
- 37:51Speaker 1: really appreciate how well thought out that is, minus Olivia
- 37:54Speaker 1: Culbo and she also thinks that I'm a nut. Actually,
- 38:00Speaker 1: hold why every single celebrity that you love that you
- 38:06Speaker 1: stock like, we'll stop creeping them out? No, I just
- 38:10Speaker 1: happened to run into them. And I'm like, very fan
- 38:12Speaker 1: girl because well, with girl crushes, you're able to fan
- 38:15Speaker 1: girl because you're not going to try to marry them.
- 38:17Speaker 1: So at that very same night with my Joe Joas encounter,
- 38:20Speaker 1: I met Olivia for the first time. It was really cool.
- 38:22Speaker 1: I was calm and then like, I guess I've just
- 38:24Speaker 1: tweeted her one too many times. And then I saw
- 38:26Speaker 1: her at a wedding that I went to with Jared
- 38:28Speaker 1: last month, and she was like, yeah, I know, we
- 38:31Speaker 1: like tweeted each other. Sometimes I'm like, I'm pretty sure
- 38:33Speaker 1: it's like one way, but you know, I love you
- 38:35Speaker 1: and it's fine because all I want to do is
- 38:37Speaker 1: stare at your face and be you. You know who
- 38:40Speaker 1: you know who's a very worthy and just you take
- 38:43Speaker 1: the words right of it. I don't know what to say.
- 38:45Speaker 1: I have no fall up to this. It stop being
- 38:48Speaker 1: creepy embarrassed by myself. When it's a girl crush, you
- 38:51Speaker 1: can do anything with your girl crush, colorful bats. Actually like,
- 38:58Speaker 1: this isn't just a girl crush thing. Oh that was
- 39:01Speaker 1: I know. I know, and I've grown up so much
- 39:03Speaker 1: since I was twenty years old. I was a very
- 39:05Speaker 1: immature twenty year old. Um. So here's the I would
- 39:10Speaker 1: love to talk about girl crushes and boy crushes all
- 39:13Speaker 1: day long with you. So this would be a ton
- 39:14Speaker 1: of fun for me. I'm having a blast with it.

- 41:14Speaker 1: heck are you? Hey? Thanks for having me, guys. Um, yeah,
- 41:19Speaker 1: what do you want to What do you want to know?
- 41:20Speaker 1: You tell me? How do we know you? First off,
- 41:23Speaker 1: so I was on this last season of The bachel
- 41:27Speaker 1: right with Rachel, and I was also on the season
- 41:30Speaker 1: of Baslo in Paradise and you got the nickname serial killer.
- 41:35Speaker 1: Why you know? Um? I think, I mean, you guys
- 41:39Speaker 1: probably know just as well as I do. I mean,
- 41:41Speaker 1: certain things sometimes are portrayed not necessarily the way you
- 41:48Speaker 1: really are on TV. I had one date with Rachel
- 41:51Speaker 1: that came off kind of weird and awkward and kind
- 41:55Speaker 1: of creepy. And I think the producers thought, let's let's
- 41:59Speaker 1: kind of makes this into a sting. Um. I think
- 42:03Speaker 1: if if you were there and you were on that
- 42:05Speaker 1: date with me, you would have been like what I
- 42:07Speaker 1: mean when you actually saw how it actually uh looked
- 42:12Speaker 1: on TV. It's just what was nothing like it was
- 42:15Speaker 1: in real life, and the kind of shop stuff up
- 42:18Speaker 1: there and made it a little weird. And I think,
- 42:21Speaker 1: you know, I guess at some point someone was like, hey,
- 42:24Speaker 1: let's make this into a thing. So for the first
- 42:26Speaker 1: couple of episodes of Bachelor and Paradise, that was kind
- 42:29Speaker 1: of something that they tried to play in into the
- 42:32Speaker 1: narrative a little bit. Can I tell you about the
- 42:35Speaker 1: creepiest thing or the saddest thing I've ever seen you
- 42:37Speaker 1: do on TV, the sadst thing to ever happened to
- 42:40Speaker 1: anyone on TV? Okay, okay, okay, go okay. Um. Rachel
- 42:46Speaker 1: said like, oh no, don't kiss me. I don't want
- 42:49Speaker 1: to give you my cold, and like that made me
- 42:53Speaker 1: very squirmy, because yeah, because like I don't care. If
- 43:00Speaker 1: I really like someone, I'd be like, go ahead and
- 43:02Speaker 1: give me your call. Isn't that amazing? And I Accrea
- 43:04Speaker 1: said the same thing I remember off camera being like
- 43:08Speaker 1: guy because that's all. Also, I mean, you guys understand
- 43:11Speaker 1: how it works just as well as I do. I
- 43:12Speaker 1: mean there's a lot of sort of pressuring going on
- 43:14Speaker 1: behind the scenes. Um, I mean to be you know,
- 43:18Speaker 1: quite honest. I mean I wasn't into Rachel either, but
- 43:23Speaker 1: I was trying to, you know, make the best out
- 43:25Speaker 1: of it, um and try and you know, see what happens.
- 43:29Speaker 1: So I'm having producers say, hey, make a move, do something,
- 43:33Speaker 1: and you wouldn't surprise me if producers were telling her
- 43:36Speaker 1: something else. Also, UM, I know it came off super awkward,
- 43:40Speaker 1: and I mean you gotta understand how being in that
- 43:44Speaker 1: position myself and watching that batch, I mean it's harder
- 43:49Speaker 1: for me to watch it than it as anyone else
- 43:50Speaker 1: because I just like that. I would not want that, Yeah,
- 43:54Speaker 1: I'd not like that. So yeah, so it's just pretty
- 43:57Speaker 1: pretty crazy experience to go through. Um, do you guys
- 44:00Speaker 1: know I mean, actually, I know you're not crying every
- 44:02Speaker 1: single day in real life, right, No? Not almost? Okay, Well, good,
- 44:07Speaker 1: so you understand. I mean, it's just it's one of
- 44:10Speaker 1: those things that, Um, truthfully, I was just so shocked
- 44:14Speaker 1: the way it came out at the end of the day, so, um,
- 44:19Speaker 1: we get it. I came back from my first season
- 44:21Speaker 1: of the Bachelor, and I told my entire family and
- 44:24Speaker 1: friends that I was going to be like this cool
- 44:27Speaker 1: chill girl. Yeah, I mean, I listen, not that different
- 44:33Speaker 1: from my story. I was actually filming in Paradise when
- 44:38Speaker 1: that awkward scene was caring on the bat threat, and
- 44:42Speaker 1: I was actually having all the producers tell me, hey,
- 44:44Speaker 1: I saw it. You know it looked great, like you're
- 44:48Speaker 1: gonna love it. Everything looks awesome, like people are gonna
- 44:51Speaker 1: love you. I am not joking, and and and I
- 44:57Speaker 1: I kind of had a way of finding out what
- 44:59Speaker 1: actually have then if someone kind of spilled the beans
- 45:02Speaker 1: with me and they're telling me, hey, dude, it really
- 45:07Speaker 1: didn't go well, like it doesn't even like it's not good.
- 45:13Speaker 1: So you can imagine how I feel. I'm already in paradise.
- 45:15Speaker 1: I'm thinking, how the hell do I get out of
- 45:17Speaker 1: this in one piece? I can already tell like, you know,
- 45:19Speaker 1: they're going to try and keep this narrative going of
- 45:22Speaker 1: like Jackson awkward guy or creepy guy. And you know
- 45:26Speaker 1: it's hard because you know who you are and you
- 45:28Speaker 1: know who your friends and family think you are, and
- 45:30Speaker 1: you know that who you know, people that really matter
- 45:32Speaker 1: in your life think you are, and yet you're being
- 45:34Speaker 1: portrayed as something entirely different on national television. So I mean,
- 45:39Speaker 1: at that point, it was like, let's try and roll
- 45:42Speaker 1: with the punches here and make the best out of
- 45:44Speaker 1: it and see if I can come out in one piece.
- 45:46Speaker 1: I actually got home and all my friends and family
- 45:49Speaker 1: were just like you can imagine, like I had buddies
- 45:51Speaker 1: coming up to me and calling me and be like
- 45:53Speaker 1: a dude, what happened? Like who are you? What was that?
- 45:59Speaker 1: And you know, I can always say the genius of
- 46:02Speaker 1: editing and and mixing things up and putting people in
- 46:06Speaker 1: scenarios that are not natural, and I mean, you know,
- 46:09Speaker 1: at the end of the day, they can kind of
- 46:11Speaker 1: do you almost anything they want to do. Here's the deal,
- 46:14Speaker 1: So to get out of editing, okay, because the easy
- 46:17Speaker 1: outlet is always let's blame editing. Okay, but I gotta
- 46:20Speaker 1: ask you, so let's clear it up with all listeners.
- 46:22Speaker 1: Are you creepy or are you guys? Guys, Like, let's
- 46:27Speaker 1: take a step back. It's television. I mean, at the
- 46:30Speaker 1: end of the day. No, I don't know. I'm asking
- 46:32Speaker 1: you personally human check. I just admitted that I can
- 46:37Speaker 1: be very creepy when I give it confidently said, actually,
- 46:41Speaker 1: very kindly said, I can be very creepy, and my
- 46:44Speaker 1: celebrity crushes are extremely creeped out by me. So Jack Stone,
- 46:49Speaker 1: I will I will tell you I am the weak
- 46:54Speaker 1: creepy guy you'll ever meet. So you can imagine, come out. Man.
- 46:58Speaker 1: We can't say that that's like me. You can't say
- 47:01Speaker 1: you're the least creepy guy like I would say. I'm
- 47:04Speaker 1: like borderline creepy, like some people might think I'm creepy.
- 47:06Speaker 1: Other thing I'm not. I'm not. Yeah, like I'm not.
- 47:12Speaker 1: You know, I'm not like hunting around here the higgy
- 47:17Speaker 1: does look that blows up outside of a car dealership. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Jack,
- 47:24Speaker 1: I have very loose hips, um, very loose hips and
- 47:28Speaker 1: and a very flexible torso. And so my thought process
- 47:32Speaker 1: is why not use that to my advantage? Right? Um?
- 47:34Speaker 1: Then I say, what you got, Yeah, you can do that.
- 47:39Speaker 1: Let me ask this question again, because I think if
- 47:42Speaker 1: you say, it's like, we have this person right now
- 47:45Speaker 1: that we know all know very well that claims you
- 47:47Speaker 1: know I am the least humble person you would ever be.
- 47:50Speaker 1: Nobody that's humble ever says that they're humble. Okay, So
- 47:54Speaker 1: Jack Stone, are you creepy? No? Okay, my dad, we're
- 48:00Speaker 1: getting nowhere with this man. Are you a lawyer? It
- 48:04Speaker 1: was It was the craziest thing for me to see
- 48:07Speaker 1: the way that that played out. The craziest things. But
- 48:11Speaker 1: you know, it is what it is. It happened definitely
- 48:13Speaker 1: not me. I mean, if you were to talk to
- 48:14Speaker 1: Rachel or any of my friends or family or any
- 48:16Speaker 1: of it, I actually know me in the show, that'd
- 48:18Speaker 1: be like, yeah, that's that's definitely not Jack. Who's your
- 48:22Speaker 1: celebrity crush? Um? You know what? Um, I'm just like, no,
- 48:29Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Jimmy Fallon, Okay say that. Yeah, you
- 48:34Speaker 1: could say whatever you like on this podcast I got.
- 48:37Speaker 1: I got contacted by one of the producers for the
- 48:39Speaker 1: Tonight show not too long ago, and um, and he
- 48:42Speaker 1: actually tweeted out at me and I just kind of
- 48:44Speaker 1: started met to each other. Super cool guy and he
- 48:47Speaker 1: was like, hey, have you're ever in town, like, you know,
- 48:48Speaker 1: let me know, hook you up to some backstage pass
- 48:50Speaker 1: and you know, show you around and like, awesome. So
- 48:54Speaker 1: my dad lives in New York. I went up there,
- 48:57Speaker 1: um and brought some family member and they got us
- 49:02Speaker 1: like you know these v I P passes and they
- 49:04Speaker 1: roped off some feats for us, and they're like, hey, Jack,
- 49:06Speaker 1: Jimmy really wants to meet you. At the end of
- 49:08Speaker 1: the show, he's like, I mean, I honestly, I mean,
- 49:11Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say this. I lost my show. I mean,
- 49:13Speaker 1: it was a cool experience I've ever had. I mean,
- 49:16Speaker 1: everything was worth it at that point. I mean it
- 49:20Speaker 1: was like pretty cool experience. Jimmy comes up after the
- 49:22Speaker 1: show and I think I hugged him like six times.
- 49:27Speaker 1: You don't actually have a lot in common. He's such
- 49:32Speaker 1: a good dude. He's such a good guy, and he
- 49:34Speaker 1: honestly like, I'm not making this up, and he probably
- 49:38Speaker 1: does this to everybody because for sure this isn't true.
- 49:40Speaker 1: But he he gives me a hug and he goes,
- 49:43Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of yours. No, no, Jack, I
- 49:46Speaker 1: actually had the coolest experience about a year ago. I
- 49:49Speaker 1: was at something and a fan came up to me
- 49:51Speaker 1: and she goes, okay, weird ran into Jimmy fallon on
- 49:55Speaker 1: the street yesterday, and we talked about you, and I'm like,
- 49:58Speaker 1: you're kidding, and she goes, yeah, Like I knew that
- 50:02Speaker 1: he loved Bachelor in Paradise, So we started talking about
- 50:05Speaker 1: it and then I go, Ashley I is my favorite.
- 50:07Speaker 1: And then Jimmy Fallon and his Jimmy Fallon voice goes,
- 50:10Speaker 1: oh my god, I love Ashley I. And I was like,
- 50:13Speaker 1: oh my god, my life. Yeah, I mean, who would
- 50:17Speaker 1: have guessed that Jimmy Fallon is watching. Jimmy Fallon's never
- 50:21Speaker 1: talked about me, and but I did here earlier that
- 50:23Speaker 1: January Jones, and and so I'm still kind of right
- 50:25Speaker 1: and high on that one. It's all worth it. I mean,
- 50:27Speaker 1: you know what, check that off the list. That's pretty cool.
- 50:31Speaker 1: It's pretty cool that you got to go backstage and
- 50:33Speaker 1: that like he's a fan. That's really cool. That is
- 50:35Speaker 1: such a cool thing, right, that you both get to meet.
- 50:38Speaker 1: Your celebrity crushes are the people that you admire the most. Um,
- 50:41Speaker 1: all from this crazy little show that we all did
- 50:44Speaker 1: and that we all have in common with. Um. So see,
- 50:46Speaker 1: if love doesn't happen, at least some really cool opportunities
- 50:50Speaker 1: exist and life just gets a little bit more interesting
- 50:52Speaker 1: post Bachelor world. I think that's right, you know, isn't
- 50:54Speaker 1: it not? That you know, you go on a show
- 50:56Speaker 1: like this and you know truthfully, And I'm the first
- 50:59Speaker 1: person to say this, and you guys can feel free
- 51:01Speaker 1: to disagree with me. But I mean, no one that
- 51:03Speaker 1: goes on any of these shows has done anything particularly
- 51:06Speaker 1: like you know, amazing. No one saved a life or
- 51:08Speaker 1: did anything crazy like that. Ben actually does probably say lives,
- 51:13Speaker 1: but outside of been on in my superhero costume and
- 51:18Speaker 1: and yet and people think it's such an amazing thing.
- 51:23Speaker 1: But I mean, no one's really done anything. I mean,
- 51:25Speaker 1: you know, people definitely whatever. For whatever reason, it resonates
- 51:30Speaker 1: with people. People really love meeting people from this franchise um,
- 51:37Speaker 1: and I mean it's definitely a out of this world
- 51:40Speaker 1: experience for sure. Well Jack, I'm glad we got to
- 51:43Speaker 1: meet you, and I'm glad that you came on this podcast.
- 51:45Speaker 1: We appreciate it, man, and uh, please come back anytime.
- 51:49Speaker 1: You no longer can be a part of the Who
- 51:50Speaker 1: the heck Are You podcast? Because we now know who

- 53:34Speaker 1: the other night, I it's actually right after this pot Yes,
- 53:38Speaker 1: after this podcast, I went home and I was all
- 53:41Speaker 1: on in my house. I had a little time. So
- 53:44Speaker 1: I've been getting some like skincare products into the house.
- 53:47Speaker 1: And so what I did is I bio clary in
- 53:49Speaker 1: my face. Um. And then I found a mud mask
- 53:53Speaker 1: and so by myself watching baseball on television, I put
- 53:56Speaker 1: a mud mask on. I've never done that before my life.
- 53:58Speaker 1: I've never had one. I tell you why. For the
- 54:01Speaker 1: last week, I can't stop touching my face really really not.
- 54:05Speaker 1: I am so smooth, my pores are so clear, um,
- 54:10Speaker 1: my skin feels like it can breathe again. So I
- 54:12Speaker 1: have to think bio Clarity and the mud Mask, which
- 54:15Speaker 1: doesn't sponsor the podcast, so I'm not mentioning their name.
- 54:17Speaker 1: If you want to please contact us, UM. But the
- 54:20Speaker 1: two of those things together really make me feel nice.
- 54:24Speaker 1: I'm so glad that like you had such a good
- 54:26Speaker 1: self health day sometime. UM. Here's the deal. So to
- 54:34Speaker 1: close of the podcast today, we have one more email
- 54:36Speaker 1: to talk about, UM, and this is from Deborah. I'm
- 54:39Speaker 1: just gonna read this year. I haven't read this yet.
- 54:41Speaker 1: I just got it sent to me. I'm so gonna
- 54:42Speaker 1: read it on air. Here it says from Deborah Hi
- 54:45Speaker 1: Been and Ashley, both of you really struck a chord
- 54:48Speaker 1: with me in last week's podcast when answering questions, if
- 54:50Speaker 1: a guy really likes you, then he will ask you out.
- 54:54Speaker 1: I would really be interested on your thoughts on this.
- 54:57Speaker 1: Is it always really that black and white? Our guys
- 55:00Speaker 1: really that bold? And if there is a hesitation on
- 55:02Speaker 1: their part, what can women do to encourage the asking
- 55:05Speaker 1: out or help let it be known that you're interested.
- 55:08Speaker 1: My experience has really been the opposite of the statement.
- 55:10Speaker 1: It caused me to do the asking to coffee, and
- 55:13Speaker 1: I still feel like I get shunned for doing that.
- 55:15Speaker 1: Am I doing something wrong? Thank you so much and
- 55:18Speaker 1: I love listening. Debrah. Here's the deal. Last week we
- 55:22Speaker 1: talked a little bit if you don't listen about kind
- 55:24Speaker 1: of the roles in a relationship and if the guy
- 55:26Speaker 1: should has to girl out, or if the guy really
- 55:28Speaker 1: likes her she asked her out, or the girl asked
- 55:30Speaker 1: the guy out. So Debora is asking is she doing
- 55:33Speaker 1: something wrong in pursuing the people she's interested in. My
- 55:36Speaker 1: thoughts on this might be different than others, but I
- 55:38Speaker 1: would say no, if you're interested in somebody, um, go
- 55:42Speaker 1: for it. No matter what sex you are, go for it.
- 55:46Speaker 1: You know. It would be great if the guys could
- 55:48Speaker 1: be bold, if you could find that man to really
- 55:50Speaker 1: come up to you and say, Okay, here's the deal.
- 55:52Speaker 1: I think you're beautiful, you're stunning. You've caught my attention,
- 55:55Speaker 1: and I don't know if you have a boyfriend or not,
- 55:57Speaker 1: but if you don't, I would love to take you
- 55:59Speaker 1: out and just been a little bit of time with you.
- 56:01Speaker 1: That would be a great thing. If guys had the
- 56:02Speaker 1: confidence to do that, I'm telling you a lot of
- 56:04Speaker 1: them don't and so sometimes it needs to be helped
- 56:07Speaker 1: in both ways. That's my response to ever, keep doing you. Um,
- 56:11Speaker 1: I don't think you're failing, and at some point you're
- 56:13Speaker 1: gonna find the right guy. Ask you what your thoughts? Um? Well,
- 56:16Speaker 1: I think it was really a question that I would
- 56:18Speaker 1: have liked to ask you too. But you're saying that
- 56:21Speaker 1: not all guys really do ask you out, even if
- 56:23Speaker 1: they want to. And I learned this firsthand, um, just
- 56:27Speaker 1: by being friends with Dean. Dean told me that he
- 56:29Speaker 1: has never once asked a girl out. He has never
- 56:33Speaker 1: he'll never ask them to hang out. He'll like, he
- 56:36Speaker 1: will never assume that they are into him. He needs
- 56:41Speaker 1: to be like totally convinced by the woman that they
- 56:44Speaker 1: are into him first before he does anything that's interest.
- 56:48Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if that should be the case. Like,
- 56:52Speaker 1: there's obviously something there that Dean's a little fraid of.
- 56:54Speaker 1: Right is the rejection if it's his own confidence, if
- 56:57Speaker 1: it's not feeling I'm worthy to date that person or not. Um,
- 57:02Speaker 1: But I think I would just have to imagine that
- 57:05Speaker 1: when you meet somebody and you know, hey, this person
- 57:07Speaker 1: seems special to me, that at that moment, something would
- 57:11Speaker 1: happen inside of you to say, I can't miss this moment.
- 57:14Speaker 1: I can't let this person walk away from me. I
- 57:16Speaker 1: have to say something. And I've had that happen to
- 57:18Speaker 1: me before, right, I mean, I remember even in college
- 57:20Speaker 1: and in high school, when you know, I was really
- 57:22Speaker 1: excited about finding finding a girlfriend and really wanted to
- 57:25Speaker 1: find that that person's a date. I remember going like
- 57:28Speaker 1: different places around town and seeing like the most beautiful
- 57:31Speaker 1: person walked past me and not say anything, and just
- 57:33Speaker 1: that kind of let down. Like, man, I wish I
- 57:35Speaker 1: was more confident. I wish I would have said something.
- 57:37Speaker 1: I've had moments like that in public too, or just
- 57:39Speaker 1: like giving me the number, given me your number, and
- 57:41Speaker 1: I just can't do it. No. Well, here's the deal, So, Debora, UM,
- 57:45Speaker 1: my advice is, I don't think you're doing anything wrong.
- 57:47Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a wrong and right way
- 57:48Speaker 1: to do this. I think the best way to do
- 57:51Speaker 1: it is to continue to be confident, to never um,
- 57:54Speaker 1: never settle, never get down on yourself, right. I mean,
- 57:57Speaker 1: people have rejected me many times, rejected actually many times.
- 58:02Speaker 1: I'm sure as you go through this dating life, rejection
- 58:05Speaker 1: happens to everybody. UM, so just keep staying strong and
- 58:09Speaker 1: one day I hope for you that a guy will
- 58:11Speaker 1: come up to you, grab your face at a coffee
- 58:13Speaker 1: shop and say, I gotta kiss you because I can't
- 58:16Speaker 1: let this pass. So with that, this is another episode
