  Speaker 1: looking forward to for a while. Actually, and I are
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: big fans of the app, and we thought this would
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: be a great way to connect with everybody out there.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: So Ashley, here's how today is gonna work. We have

  Speaker 1: we're talking. Um, We're gonna be as honest and open
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: as possible because that's what these things can do. So actually,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna start right away Cam Rhodis and said, what
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: are you enjoying most about this season of the Bachelorette.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: I think I'm ending well in this past episode. Well,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: we won't. We'll we'll make it more general. I think.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Is it weird that I say I love that we
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: had a split season and that we got a little
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: bit of two different bachelorettes just to keep it really fresh.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I also just I just love how authentic and easy
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Tassia is to watch because I just feel like she
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: is no less censored on on screen then she is
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: just like hanging around with her and as a circle
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: of friends. I'm with you, I mean, I think, and
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I'll say something here, and we've had great bachelorettes. I mean, honestly,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: we we know a lot of them, and they've been great.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: I think Tasia is like extraordinarily good at this and
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: not in a way that it makes a bachelor typically.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: She's just I feel like we're getting to know her
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: in a way I've never gotten to know any lead,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: including myself on the show. Yeah, and I don't want
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: to take away from other leads. I feel like we've
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: just had so many fantastic bachelor and bachelorettes and this
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: is like no offense to them when I say that.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: She just seems like incredibly comfortable in this role. So
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: I said, that is my favorite part of the season
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: so far. I'm also really enjoying seeing how the producers
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: have navigated being in shutdown, Like I think that's super
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: interesting to see how a show of this size. You know,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: there's two hundred people that work on the show, they
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: have to be there on location, there's dates, there's cast,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: there's obviously lead, there's the host, and just how the
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: producers have navigated like making this show still interesting to us. Yeah,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I agree. I think these dates have been a little
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: bit more intimate. They haven't been as over the top.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: They're more they're more show dates that you can, especially
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: the one ones with horseback riding, and then I've been
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: coming over um for a date. I feel like this
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: is probably the it's just kept it a little bit
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: more real to like what you can do in real life. Um.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I also love that we've been seeing more of Chris Harrison.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Of course he had to. He guided Claire through her
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: portion of the season a lot a lot of heart
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: to hearts there. And then with Tastia's portion so far,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: he's just he's popping up everywhere. And I think it's
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: maybe because he's on set all the time. He's forced
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: to be on set all the time. Um, whereas sometimes
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: you know, he flies in a little late to wherever
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: their destination is and he's having fun with it. Oh,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: he's I think he's having a great time. I mean,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: why not the guy. The guy's fantastic what he does. Well, Hey,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: if you're just tuning in again, this is live, Yes
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Live right now and recording this live on the stereo app.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Ashley onto the next question. I think this is a
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: good one. What are you looking forward to most for
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Matt James this season of the Bachelor? And then Ashley,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I can answer the second part of this, what tips
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: will we give him what tips? Okay, Well, what I'm
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: looking forward to most is just getting to know Matt. Uh.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: You know, we all know very little of him. We
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: most of what we know through social media in Tyler's Instagram.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: He's obviously a very handsome guy. He does. He does
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: a great interview. But I think just getting to know
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Matt and and seeing him learn the process alongside the
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: girls is going to be a really fresh take for
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: us as viewers because everybody is kind of innocent in
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: the process and they're all gonna have to figure it
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: out together. There's no one leading it And yeah, I
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: think that's gonna be interesting. What about you, Well, you're right.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, Matt has been a great interview and I
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: think we've seen him on social a lot um, but
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: those aren't high stress environments, and I think stress off
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: sometimes brings out our true character. I think like being
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: the Bachelor will make us, will force Matt into being
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: incredibly just vulnerable. It does to everybody, And I think
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I'm excited to see this who I know is a
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: great guy, but I'm excited to, just like you said,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: get to know him better through the vulnerability and through
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: not being able to see him on social media and
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: put on cool videos and stuff, but like seeing him
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: in real life, trying to navigate the process of love
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: and navigate the process of drama and navigate this whole experience.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: The tips I would give him would be this, It's
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the same thing I tell every bachelor ever calls before
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: season um, because so many do. Then you get so
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: many You're the mentor here, you know, you're the god
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: followed the franchise. I know this is not the first
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: time I've said something like this, but it's so funny
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: the way that all the guys go to you for advice,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: and Matt, even though he hasn't officially been part of
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: the franchise until now, was no exception to that. You
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: did get to talk to him, and I really enjoy it,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Like I told you, like line, I really enjoy getting
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: it to talk to these guys before they started because
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: it is such a new experience. Now he's gonna do
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: far greater things than I ever could do. But the
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: one thing I would say is never let your head
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: get too big, So like, don't get too cocky, don't
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: think you're king of the world. I know it's going
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: to feel like that for a period of time. I
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: know you're gonna feel like you're the coolest thing out there,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: and for a bit he will be, but it doesn't laugh.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: And so never let your head get too big. But
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: also never let it get too small. Like, don't if
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: you get criticism or if you start to like I
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: feel like you're too distant from the franchise, or you're
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: not getting an attention that you once did, realize that
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: like that has nothing to do with you. That's just
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: how time works. And so don't let your head get
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: too small to big. Stay who you are and stay
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: consistent through the process. And I think I think he's
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: gonna do a great job at it. But that's my
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: advice to him. And I think the rest, you know,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: it will come naturally to him in a lot of ways. Yeah,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: So just letting you guys know who are listening. We
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: are recording this live on the Stereo app. This is
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: it just a special question answer session with me and Ben.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: We love taking keep like Q and as are my
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: bread and butter. I love talking behind the scenes of
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the Bachelor, and right now we're recording this special episode
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: live and stereo. You could just download the Stereo app
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: if you'd like to talk to us directly. It's a
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: really cool way to interact with the fans. Alright, our
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: next question, Ben, this is this is uh, this is
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: probably for me, but I'm gonna ask. It's a little
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: off Batchelor related. But because you're Beyonce is an Escetician.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Now officially, uh, she just graduated from from from school, right,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: she's officially decision your best skin tips, then my best
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: skin tips. It's funny, actually, I never cared about my
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: skin too much until I was a jest. Now this
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: is what I've learned to do. I used to be
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: like just a straight out whatever kind of lotion on
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: my face at the end of the day or on
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: my body if I was dry. Like that was only
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: when I was dry. I don't know if this is
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: interesting to anybody or not, but now I realized that
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: I have to do a lot of preemptive skin work.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: And that's a word that I've gotten from my fiance.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: I have to start putting stuff on my skin even
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: when I don't feel dry, to keep me lubricated, hydrated, hydrated.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: That's what I was looking for. Yeah, that's it all right. Well,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: my skincare tip goes a little bit off of that.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: I think, especially in this age of mask me, uh,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: you should be masking your skin a little bit more,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: doing a little bit more exfoliation, um, some more clay
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: masks to get deep down and clear out those pores.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: It's something you're going to have to keep up with
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: a little bit more. I admit it my resolution honestly now.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: So whoever knows to just do something like that appeal
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: or a mask every day since I just noticed my
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: skin was getting so much more clogged since the math.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: This is the mask wearing the Ashley. This is I
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: don't even know skincare is something that intrigues anybody out there,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: but it intrigues me. And so that's all that matters
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: right out. Because you and I are talking now. There
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: is this thing that I found out about once I
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: started dating Jest that is common in women, and it's
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: that elasma. Yeah, you've been open about and it makes
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: just just feel less alone. Like I know you've been
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: open about your melasma um and I'm finding out that
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: more and more people struggle with them. Men and women
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: now explain melasma and what are you what are you
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: doing to help treat it? Yeah? So it's probably the
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: skincare condition that is the hardest to treat. Dermatologists as desitions,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: they all say this. The one thing that worked for
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: me was something called a cosmolon peel. It's pretty pricey. Um.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: You have to get it through you know, certain providers,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: and you're gonna flake for a while and you might
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: be read for a while too. I would give the
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: process three weeks or so to really see the results
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: and for your skin to calm down. But it's the
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: perfect time to do it now that so many people
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: are you know, they're on lockdown, and when they are outside,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: they're wearing masks, so nobody's going to see your flaking redskin.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: And I'm telling you three weeks in as much as
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: it is a bit of a cost issue, uh, if
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: you have bad melasma, three weeks and you're probably gonna
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: be pretty happy you did It's it's it's more than
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: a seventy improvement, or at least it was for me.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: That's awesome now, it really is. I know it's something
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: that isn't ideal now. Uh. Actually I feel like we're
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: doing this like you know in the radio when you're
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: listening to the radio and they say, we're gonna pause
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: now for station identification. Uh, and then they mentioned it, Well,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: that's what we're gonna do. Now, We're gonna pause here
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: for station identification. Again, this is live on the stereo.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Actually something you and I have not talked about yet
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: at any point in time. I don't even think we
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: have offline which a Tatia's men, do you want to
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: be the next Bachelor? Oh? I was just browsing through
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: these questions that I was hoping you're going to ask
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: this one. I truly, I don't know there's a standout
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: for me yet. I do love the idea of Joe,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: just because Joe is you know, older, he's thirty six,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: he's a doctor. It is you know, he's the kind
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: of guy that girls just dream of ending up with.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: He's I'm sorry, this is what happens when you go
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: live you have your housebound ringing in the background. Um.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: But I mean like a doctor Bachelor. Come on. I
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: know it's had a doctor Bachelor before, but I think
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: that it's about time we have another one, right And
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: you know, we've also had very few Asian um cast
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: members who have on the show before, so you know,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: he's Asian he's a doctor, he's got a sweet personality.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: He says he's a lover, not a fighter, and he's
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: very attractive, so, you know, and possibly Joe, but we'll
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: see how far it gets. I'm a big fan of
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: this guy's growing more and more on me and I
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: don't know a lot about him. But DeMar, um, M, yeah,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: he's really stepping up. He's been really sweet. I don't
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: think he's gotten the airtime that maybe he'll get later
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: on in the show. I expect him to do great
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: things later on. But Damar kind of has stood out
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: to me over the last couple of weeks um being
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: one of those new guys, and so I would not
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: be shocked with any of those choices. But I will
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: say this could be controversial. I don't know if any
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: of these we usually at this point in the season,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: there's like a few front runners that were mentioning. I
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: don't know if any of these guys are necessarily like
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: standing out to me as the next batch. Did you agree, Yeah,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: maybe maybe when we just get further down the line. Yeah,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: you know, you know, if you can't find a bachelor
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: from this group, I still think that we have a couple.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: You know back in back in the history that are
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: that are definite to become. Um, I still think Peter yea,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Peter Krause was meant to be a bachelor. Interesting, that
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: would be a shock, that would that would liven up
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: everybody a little bit. He's he's been a dance there
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: for a while, but especially with our in depth of him,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Like I wasn't sure before before in depth, but I
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: think that the in depth sold me on he's got
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: to be a bachelor one day. Yeah, if you you know.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: The one cool thing is with him on that in
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: depth episode, there was a humility to him that had
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know that I had not seen like he has.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: He has been um disheartened. Uh he has shown resolved
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: through that. Uh. COVID has been tough for him and
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: his business, and it feels like he's in a place
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: now where like that his maturity is is really has
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: really grown. Mm hmm yeah, totally totally agree. Yeah, Ben,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: do we have any questions being sent to us through
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: the stereo app? I know that you have to go
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: and look through our audience and then people who have
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: a green arrow have submitted a question. Yes, they definitely,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: there's definitely a couple out there. We're gonna get to
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: those in just a second, Um, but before we do, actually,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: I do have a friendship question that I want to
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: ask you that was sent into us and it's sad. Now, Astley.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: The question was sent in UM by Danielle and it says,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: when was the last time you and I saw each
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: other in person? Well? I don't, I don't know, Ben
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: one was it didn't FaceTime a lot? We've facetimes a lot? Yeah?
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Was it? Was it Tahoe? Probably? Yeah, It's like it's real.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: That's really sad. Actually, it's very sad that was that was?
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: That was Valentine's Day, I know. But it's also cool.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's like cool parts about it because we have,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: you know, found ways to connect like this, you know,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: being on the stereo app and recording this question to
• 16:18

• 19:31
  Speaker 1: now to speak with all of you and speak with
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: each other, connect virtually once again. It's something that we
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: just haven't been able to do too often. So thanks
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: for tuning in with us today. We will be continuing
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: answer your question. So yes, right them in next question, Actually, actually,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: what do you do about? Uh? Well, right now, I'm
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: here at my parents house in Virginia. We're doing Thanksgiving here.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: The plan as long as there's no COVID doesn't interfere
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: with that, we do Christmas at Jared's parents house. We
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: will be tested. We're going to drive. Um, but you
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: know those are that's a couple of weeks away. So
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: all plans, I feel like, are up in the air.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Uh what Yeah, you and Jess are splitting the holiday.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: This is the first It's not the first holiday guys
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: done together, is it? No, we did Christmas together last year. Um,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: We're gonna split the holidays if we can. It's starting
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: to get weird though. We're um, you know, we're starting
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: to like have to weigh even this morning, we're talking
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: about weighing our options, like are we gonna be able
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: to see our family or not? Is this the year
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: that we can are We're gonna be like is it legal? Um?
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: And so we just don't know yet. And that's and
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: that's like a little sad and frustrating. I think first both,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: but I think anybody out there listening can probably relate,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: like it's just the time of a lot of unknowns
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: and uh and we really haven't figured it out yet,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: like we don't know what is next, and that's that's tough.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: It's really sad, and like, if you can't spend the
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: holidays with your family, just know what you're doing, the
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: best you're reading, the most responsible you can be. You're
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: what you're doing is the right thing. So as if
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: you're sad, you're not alone being sad in this um.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: But hopefully this is the only year, like as a country,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: as a world, we need to go through this um. So, yeah, uh,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: we have another question sent into us here. Lisa asks
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: how did our friendship start? Well, I remember meeting you
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: for the first time, like actually talking to you for
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: the first time on the balcony of my hotel room
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: when I was at Mentel all and I just finished
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: filming Bachelor in Paradise two and you, of course we're
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: not in Bachelor in Paradise because they were preparing for
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: you to be the next lead. Uh. So I just
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: remember thinking like this guy is like so tall, so adorable,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: and he is listening to me so intently. I feel
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: like everybody who meets Ben Higgins for the first time
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: is always in awe of how attentive he is to
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: the person he's talking with and how much he seems
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: to truly care and is curious about their life. Life's weird.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, we have to listen, right, I mean, that's
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: just the thing. It's it's it's it's important to uh.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: I do remember that moment. I remember for many reasons,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: and um, it's funny to look back on that time. Actually,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: because we were in Hollywood, h Then the hotel it's
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: red Um, that's not the Roxy. Um. Oh, it's the
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Red Berry. The Red Berry. That's it. Anybody ever traveling
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: to l A needs to stay at the Red Berry
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: in Hollywood. It is such a cool hotel, it really is.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: And I remember meeting you. Had watched you on television,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: all of these Bachelor people in one space. I felt
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: so overwhelmed because has like I was just coming off
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: the show. It hadn't really even started airing. I didn't
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: know if I was going to be the Bachelor or not.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Like at that point I kind of felt like, all right,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: all these people have these close friendships. I'm kind of
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: like in Limbo, I wasn't even asking me Paradise, Like
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: maybe I'm not even welcomed here. And then this is
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: the way Ben Higgins thinks, guys, well that's really and
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: and then it was like really sweet because like you
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: meet all these people from the show and you realize
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: how awesome they are, Like you realize just really how
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: incredible um the people have done the show are and
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: like really like how interesting everybody stories are, Like nobody
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: that goes in the show, just like nobody out there listening,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: but no, everybody has a really cool story to tell. Yeah, Ben, Um,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: two things I need to add in before we go
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: into further questions. Okay, everybody needs to also download claic
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: and don't save it off for Christmas. Don't save it
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: all christ mistake, that's just just a jam okay. Uh.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: And then there is a caller in here, and we've
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: never done this before. We're doing this live on the
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: stereo app and anything can happen right now, including not
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: knowing who's calling us. But we're gonna take this call.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Uh oh oh no, we can't take the call, okay,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: because that means that I would have to go off
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: with you, which is and I can't leave you, Ben.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: So I got you. I'm getting this thing for I'm
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: an expert on the stereopp It's I I love it,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: I and I love to use it. But I've got this.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: I'll make sure that anybody that wants to come in,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: if we can make him come in, I'll make sure
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: to bring him now again, keep it out sending your
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: questions just like Eastern did. Eastern asked Ben boxers or briefs.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: What if I said either? How would that go? Either?
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: I'm a big I'm a big no guy like I
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: don't either guy? Yeah, yeah, I am. I mean if
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: I do have to, it's going briefs. Um, but I
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: feel like one because everybody's home all the time. Is
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: really going to make a huge statement in this world,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: because people are gonna stop wearing Undy's and just start
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: living freer. And I it cannot be more proud of
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: people for that and more excited for what they're about
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: to experience. Then what age did you start going commando?
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: It's a Dean thing. So Dean, it's probably three years ago.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: I heart Fest in Las Vegas. Um. He mentioned to
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: me that I should start trying it. Now, Dean's told
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: me three pieces of advice in my life. I'm gonna
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: start with the two and end with the boxers or briefs.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: The first one, Ben, you should start d m ng
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: people on Instagram because now you see if you like
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: their personality from their pictures. You can tell if they're
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: attractive or not if you're acting to them, so you
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: d m them. There's a low risk to that. And
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: so guess what I did. I d M and found
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: my dance fiance. Um. So, first piece of advice, Dean
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: wins on, I take it with me. So a second
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: piece of advice in life is this, Ben, you should
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: stop using dryer sheets. Dryer sheets is not good for you.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: They put chemicals in your clothes and all this stuff.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: So I read it find out, okay, maybe true, maybe not.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna stop using dryer sheets. Well, I stop using
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: dryer sheets too. You see, not a bad thing. So
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: I'm going second piece of advice, uh is incredible. Third
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: piece of advice was Ben, you should stop wearing underwear
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: like it's just not worth it. It's not fun. It's
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: a lot better to go free. So here's how the
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: story works. I start doing that. It's easier with some
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: types of clothing than others. Now you get like your
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: softer clothing that works out just fine. You put on
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: a type pair of jeans, things get weird fast. Now
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: here's where things get really hard. You start wearing um
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: basketball short and you work out, which I thought he
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: did without it, and you go to the gym. It
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: gets awkward really quickly. Like you realized that that you
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: are not comfortable and that you are not good being
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: there in that environment. So I called him. I said, Dean,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: you told me that you never wear underwear ever were underwear.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: He also has told me once in his life that
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: he doesn't wash his hands or you soap in the showers.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: So like I'm at this point questioning his wisdom and knowledge.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: And he says, Ben, I always wear underwear when I
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: work out. I just don't wear him any other times.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: So I had probably gone six months trying it without
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: trying it at the gym. Backfired quickly, So now it's
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: it's brief when I'm at the gym. Okay, okay, got you.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: From a girl's perspective, I think that we don't mind
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: underwear as much as guys do. I don't know why
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: you guys seem to think that underwear is like a burden.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: But I also this year have warned them us just
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: because I've been wearing so many sweatpants and yoga pants
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: and yoga pants. You know, you gotta wear a thong
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: with yoga pants if you want to be, you know,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: a cool girl, because if you if you wear regular
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: panties with yoga pants, then you see the lines and
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: then it doesn't make your butt look the way yoga
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: pants should make your butt look. And then with sweatpants,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: I mean they're practically just long underwear, right, Yeah, yeah,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: I feel your girl, feel you all the way. Well, hey,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: actually this podcast has been recorded live on stereo. Just
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: download the stereo app, So if you're watching it, just
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: download the Sterira app if you'd like to talk to
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: us directly, Astley, that was a great conversation. We've had
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: a couple of good segments. I think you're singing and
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: us analyzing the last five minutes what you should be
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: wearing or just really important. Um, I just think I
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: should clarify that, like that's not my real singing voice, guys,
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: that's like my silly singing voice where I'm like singing
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: to a guys song. You know, I'm sitting to a
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: guys song. So I'm not like trying, but like have
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: me sing the Demilovado and I can keep up. Not really,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: but you know what I mean. Especially if you put
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: like the headphones in and you start singing and you
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: start feeling like you're hitting the notes. That's that's really
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: like that's how I sing. Okay, have you ever done this?
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: And this is so embarrassing. Have you ever like staying
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: in the shower or in the car and you're like,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: damn today, I'm having a great singing voice day. And
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: then you're like, I'm going to record myself to see
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: just how good I sound. And then you listen to
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: it back and it sounds nothing like the way you
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: heard it live. Actually, yes, like that's that's not just
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: like oh I've done that once. Like I put my
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: hands like when i'm I put my I cover up
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: my ears and I start singing and like I'm hitting
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: every harmony like I am absolutely crushing it. And then
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: you listen to it and and it's it's like embarrassing
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: for yourself. Yeah, I get it. There's one time. I
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: even went in the garage when my mom wasn't home
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: and I recorded myself singing, thinking that the echo was
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: just gonna be like beautiful. I just couldn't get there.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: When I listened to it back, I was like, this
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: is just this is just it's no, this is not
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: what I'm hearing. It ridiculous. There's many times in my
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: life where since I've met you that I am convinced
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: and I wish that the Ashley from like nine to
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: eighteen had a camera phone, you know, along at all times,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: because I think it would be straight comedy. I would
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: up that to like and then at the Bachelor started
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: following me around, so that's already recorded. I was joking
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: with Jared the other day in the car we were listening.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Taylor Swift's Picture to Burn came on, and you know,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: a Picture to Burn came out when I was, uh nineteen,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: I was a sophomore in college when I downloaded that
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: on iTunes and I was like, man, and this is
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: a throwback, because you know, I just listened to more
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: of Taylor's modern songs now and I was like the
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: amount of anger I had towards some boy that I
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: probably never even kissed while singing that song. It's hilarious.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: I was like, I was nineteen, you know, and I
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: was like, but honestly thinking about who I was singing
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: about at certain times. I was also probably like twenty
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: four doing the same thing. Anyway, let's get back to
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: some bachelor question I have it. Yeah, we got a
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: great one you just got written in here. It says,
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: um Ashley, who is someone you would like to have
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: as a guest in your podcast you haven't had yet?
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: So we got asked this recently. I would love to
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: have Emily Maynards and she's one of my favorites that
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: I just observed, but I've never met her in real life.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: And then I think Jojo and Jordan would be really
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: nice to have on for an in depth. Um, who
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: else haven't we had on? Like had not like just
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: have not had I would like to do an in
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: depth with Hannah Brown because it's been a while since
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: she's come on what about you? I think I think
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Hannah Brown at this point would be a great in
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: depth I think it's a time in her life. Uh,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: I don't have we done and in depth with Rachel Lindsay? No?
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: How have they not thought of that. Yeah, I think
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: a Rachel Lindsay in depth. I think of Becket Koufern
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: in depth. We definitely need Beckat Kouffern, especially post Garrett. Yeah,
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: I think I think, actually, I think we're gonna reach
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: out today. I think I'm gonna reach out to Becca
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: to day and say, hey, we gotta get you on
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: in depth and just start loading these up because in
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: depths are a lot of fun for us. UM. I mean,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: we've really enjoyed it. Actually, UM, A little bit of
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: a weird question here on on friends Giving. UM, I
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: asked our guests this and I never asked you because
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: I wanted to wait for this moment, Um, Ashley, I
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: conn Edttie. I asked this question. Please answer, take as
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: much time as you need. UM, what makes you you? Um?
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: So it was weird because you asked this question to
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: some of our our meet and Greek gats and one
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: girl and I I feel like had the same answer,
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: and you saw us bonding over it. It was just
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: like our passion and excitement and love for the things
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: that we love. I think that's just it's just me,
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: like loving things so hard and like I'm very very
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: I'm rarely like neutral on things right, Like I either
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: love it and I have a lot to say about
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: it or I'm just like so it's I think it's
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: my my tendency to love hard that makes me me.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: And the thing is that people probably understand about you now, Uh,
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: it's not gonna be shocking. You love a lot of
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: things hard, and you love things hard, but you love
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: a lot of things like you have a large capacity
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: to love. Yeah, I agree. That's the one thing I
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: think about, like about getting older that's a little bit
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: sad is that, like I find myself obsessing less over things,
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: but like I love obsessing over things, like let's appropriate
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: obsess over things. Um, but there's like like is also
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: changed a little bit of that, Like I haven't been
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: able to go to movies, which like very much moved
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: me often, like I'll never forget seeing a Stars Born
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: for the first time, and just while I was so
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: devastatedly sad, like I was obsessed with the fact that
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: like a piece of art maybe feel so much. I
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: also love going to Broadway and Broadway like at the
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: end of like a feel good Broadway show when everybody
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: stands up and collapse and it's like hooting hollering and
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: stuff all like get welled up. Like even if I
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: didn't even love the show so much, just something about
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: I've theater that like really makes me passionate too. Yeah,
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: I get it. I mean, you're it's always impressive how
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: much you care and love and you are passionate about
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: the things that you're interested in. The cool part is
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: that those aren't just a few things like they're many. Now, Hey,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: pretty be out there listening. This has been an Ashley
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: and you're listening to almost famous recorded live on stereo. Ashley, huge,
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: huge deal for us to be here today. Again, we
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: haven't seen each other in person in a bit. Uh,
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: It's it's really always great to connect in any way possible. Uh.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: There's just a few more questions here that I want
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: to try to hit on. We've gotten a lot written
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: in it's it's been really fun. Uh. Question for you
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: will either this is from Sheila, Well, either of you
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: appear on Matt James this season. Well, do you think
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: that this is a question that we could answer if
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: we had or had not made an appearance on that season,
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: which literally I think it might be wrapping up today,
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: if not yesterday, if not the day before, like we
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: are in that weird span of days before Thanksgiving that
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: the Bachelor's season always wraps. So right now as we speak,
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Matt James may have fallen in love for the first
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: time and have gotten engaged like it happened, if not today,
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: like a couple of days ago, and I find it
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: very exciting. Well, I can answer it this way. If
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: Ashley or myself was on that James this season, it
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: would be worth watching. And it's gonna be worth watching
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: even if we were it on this season. Yeah. Sure,
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: but like having you on the screens actually always a highlight. Hey,
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: Aaron writes in and says, what changes would you guys
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: like to see to the Bachelor franchise? I have one.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: I would love for them to switch up Night one.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: I just feel like Night one has gotten a little
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: bit mundane. You know, we're used to people showing up
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: on tractors, horseback um and Aston Martin in the limos.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: Of course, I want to see something where the contestants
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: and the lead are totally thrown off. We got a
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: little teaser of that on on chrys Souls this season
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: when half the girls came and then he came in
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: and he mingled with some of us and we thought
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: were like, oh my god, is this it just fifteen contestants?
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: That actually made me nervous. I felt like the pressure
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: was on immediately. Um. And then the other half came in,
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: and I think that we should play on that but
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: make it even more extreme, like what like, what if
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: fifteen girls come in and then he gets to know
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: them over like even just two days, and then more
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: come in before another row ceremony, and then he gets
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: to know that something like that. What about you? Yeah,
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: I mean I think that I think we're seeing it
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: this year, um, where it would be great to see
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: less fancy dates consistently. I really enjoy the dates that
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: are relatable. I think they're like they help us get
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: to know the characters more. Actually, we got a message
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: sent into us. I'm gonna play it right here. Okay
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: mm hmm. I want to know what the coolest thing
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: about the Bachelor Mansion is that we don't really get
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: to see on TV. Ashley, Okay, hold on, okay, this
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: is really bizarre, but this is what just popped in
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: my head. There is a door. The entryway to the
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: main bedroom is this door, and it is so gorgeously engraved. Um,
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: it's super high, very heavy, looks like something you'd see
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: in a church. And I asked the owner of the
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: Bachelor Mansion about about it, and he said that it
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: was actually handmade in India and deliver to the house. Absolutely.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: That's awesome. Yeah. Uh, well, before I answered this question,
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: anybody just tuned in. We do have a couple more
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: audio questions sent in and you're listening to his live
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: on the stereo app. Ashley and I haven't got to
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: see each other in a while, and so this is
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: a way to connect with everybody. Again, this is live,
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: so just download the stereo app if you like to
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: talk to us directly. Ashley, I would add into this, um,
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: just how beautiful the pool setting is, like the land, Like,
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: I don't think you get to understand how great the
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: view is from that mansion. But if you do ever
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: want to see the mansion, then uh, it's now up
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: on Airbnb. We just found that out and you can
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: go rented out. I think it's like six thousand dollars
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: a night, So you go stay in the Bachelor Mansion
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: if you want. Actually, I want to play another audio
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: question that was sent in. If Claire didn't pick Dale.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: Who would you have wanted Claire to end up with.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: That's a great question. I would want her to end
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: up with. Oh my gosh, I'm blinking on his name now,
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: who's the guy who left because he had fallen in
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: love with her? I think it was and I'm with you.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: I want to say, Jason Jason. Yeah, yeah, I think
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: you want her to be I think Jason had like
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: a I think Jason really cared about her, like deeply
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: cared about her. And I think that was what we're
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: hoping for um with Claire is just have her help,
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: have her find somebody that really really cared about her. Actually,
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: have another audio question. These are fun because we don't
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: really know what we're gonna get, but let's play it. Hey, guys,
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: I want to know what your favorite moment from Tassia
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: has been so far. Um, my favorite moment from Tasia
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: I did love her one on one with Brendan. It
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: felt it was just so cute. I also just you know,
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: just like like what we're saying earlier in the podcast,
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: just love how natural she is in this role. Then,
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: was do you have a favorite specific moment I as
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: far as the style of look moment. I'll tell you
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: last week's Rose ceremony with the black dress with a
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: high slit in that center part. Oh oh, that's all
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: I would say. What I really mean. There's so many
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: things about Tasha I've appreciate it, but um, how she
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: confronts controversy is something that I think is really impressed.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: So anytime there's something dramatic going on in the house,
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: or there's any type of issue going to the house,
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: how she speaks to it with respect, how she breathes,
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: how she like keeps the dignity of the situation while
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: at the same time confronting it and making everybody know
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: where she stands. Um. She doesn't belittle anybody, um in
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: a in a lot of ways, she like uplifts people
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: through her tone and how she says things. And I
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: think that's just a really cool character to have in
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: any human UM and she's done that consistent. I also
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: just love like her one on one time, Like it's
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: not awkward, it's not weird. She doesn't really let the
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: guys most of the time like get too sappy, which
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: I think is always awkward when the guys should start spewing.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: And here's the other part, she doesn't just start making
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: out like she talks to these dudes and we don't
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: have a guy on the Bachelor or Bachelor like it's
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: an always an easy fault when you don't have anything
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: talk about, is just start kissing and she like, we
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: some conversation happening, And I think that is something and
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: and super super impressive. Hey asked, let's pause here again.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: This has been an Ashley and you're listening to almost
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: famous recorded live on Syria. We have two more audio
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: questions that we're gonna answer and then we'll get out
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: of here. Actually, I'm gonna play it. Who are your
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: current favorites? And who are you rooting for? My current favorite?
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: I mean I got a couple, Okay, So I do
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: love Brendan, I love Ivan, I like DeMar. I feel
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: that Ben and Zach see who I think is just
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: Zack at this point? Um, I think those two are
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: the front runners. Yes, what about you? Ben? Uh? Like
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: Damar stands out to me. Um, I think Zach is
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: definitely one of those guys he feels I feel like
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: he's really into it. And Ivan, I mean, Ivan is
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: a guy who I think he's just going to continue
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: to shine on the show. And I mean, he's a
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: super smart dude, right, He's an aeronautical and he's a
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: little shy, a little hesitant, but I think once he
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: gets his one on one time with Tasia, like, things
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: are gonna get really good for his relationship. Um and
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: so yeah, this is my favorite Ashley. We'll have another
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: audio question sit in here we go. Can we get
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: an update on Dale and Claire, like an actual update?
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: What is happening right now with them? I don't know.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: There's also conspiracies that she's pregnant. Can we just get
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: some edification on your guys end? I mean, I don't
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: know when that sit down with Chris Harrison was taped.
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: It may have been back at Laquinta earlier in like
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: the fall slash late summer, but it didn't seem like
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: she was pregnant then because they about the timeline there. Yeah. Yeah,
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: as far as we know, it looks like they've been
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: on a road trip this week, spend Thanksgiving together. I
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: think there they are just happy and enjoying each other.
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: I don't think there's any drama there, even though I
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: think the press and and maybe even fans are trying
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: to make their feed drama there just because it was
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: just such a world wind. Last question actually ready for
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: this is it? Another audio question? Is Okay, hey Ben,
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: we should let our audience know that what we love
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: about this this stereo app is that if they are
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: listening live, they can send us voice messages and it's
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: just a very Uh it feels like we have a
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: closer connection to the fans that way. That's what these are. Yeah,
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: you just play them. Answer the questions as we go
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: here we go close out here. The final question that
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: we had written in UH was when uh when is
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: my wedding? And it's gonna be for sure. Uh if
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: COVID UH does not allow us to have a wedding,
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: We're still gonna get married. It's just too exciting for us. UM.
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming it's gonna be probably at the end of
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: next year, just because we want to be cautious and
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: make sure that hopefully we give it as much as
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: we can to pass. Um. But that is the update.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: And UH, as soon as we have a date nailed
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: down and as soon as like save the dates are
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: sent out, then uh, then we will announce that date again. Uh.

• 45:57
  Speaker 1: single segment in the same exact way. And actually, because
