• 0:53
  Speaker 1: week off, and I've been sleeping ever since. I've had
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: a good amount of sleep this week as well. It's
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: impre that we take some time off, right people. I
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: get it. It's mid season, and you know, I take
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: it as almost like uh an encouragement to us. Yeah,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: people are upset, but you know what, we decided it
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: since it was July four, which is a massive weekend
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: here on the lake for me in Indiana, and then
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Ashley was celebrating it with who um, Jared just went
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: home Fourth July. I wish we had more traditions in Virginia,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: but we don't. But we went to our friends for
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: barbecue and we've watched fireworks pretty pretty common standard. Yeah,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: but it's a big week for me. So the funny
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: part about and nobody gets this. And Jessica came back
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: to win the Lake for the very first time last week,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: very first time. Okay, she's been a devor so much.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I know, well, but I'm not home very often, like
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: to my hometown. But the fourth of July in Indiana
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: or especially in the lake here in Wine the lake
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: has a lot more tradition than any other holiday. Like
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: it's a big deal that the parade that I want
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: that uh they call it the hood parade. Um, the
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: fire trucks come out and then everybody in the lake
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: does fireworks. And one of the traditions that I have
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: is my mom and I every year we go out
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: and we buy a ton of fireworks and we light
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: them off together. Um here on the lake on the
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: fourth of July. So it's a big week. We took
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: it off. We apologize, but we didn't miss a ton.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is really the big week that we
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: need to start diving in. Any Well, last week we
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: missed that promo did the windmill, So we missed a
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: lot in the teaser, but we didn't miss a ton
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: in that episode. But we can always talk about the
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: windmill later in this episode. Um, you know it's it's
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: referring to next week's episode anyway, So I mean we're
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: going to really dive into it next week. Ben, I
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: want to tell you why this week was a big
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: deal for me. Why why is it? Um? Last week,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I guess. I mean it was the last time I
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: hung out with my dad before our wedding week. And
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: it was the last time I slept in my childhood
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: room as an unmarried woman. Oh yeah, like there was
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the last time I slept in my bed at home
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: alone because my parents are My dad specifically doesn't didn't
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: allow Jared I to sleep in the same bed together.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: That makes sense. That's that completely makes sense. I get
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: what he's doing, and he should. That's a good. Isn't
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: that crazy? But it was like, this is the last
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: time I'm waking up with my bed alone at home.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: How does it? I mean, what did the emotions running
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: through your head? It's just like so surreal, It's just
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: so crazy. It's very nostalgic and like it just I
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: don't know, does it feel like you're into what's the okay? Actually,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: let's talk about the transition, Like what does this transition
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: feel like? Do you feel like you're forming turning into
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: something new, different, or what's the feelings? I think that
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: like as a kid and as a teenager, you're always
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: thinking like, oh, when I'm married and stuff, I'm gonna
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: be a real adult, and like what's going to happen
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: with my relationship with my family? Is it going to
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: be any different? But what I really love is that
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Jared just fits in and it just feels like there's
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: five of us now instead of four of us, and
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: it still feels like there were the kids. We still
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: go like in the kid car and stuff like that
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: we're driving separately. I like the way it doesn't feel
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: like much is changing, just that we're adding a new
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: family member who feels like my sister's brother, and my mom,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: even before Jared and I were ever together, said to
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: my dad, this is like a year before Jared and
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: I got together. She was like, could you really imagine
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: any other guy other than Jared being our son in law?
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it's just it does now? Is this the
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: the now that it's happening? Is this the vision that
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: you had for your your your mayor, and your your
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: future was that it would fit like does feel like
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: he is a son to them and that that he
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: is a brother to your sister, which is weird because
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: it lovest to me he's a brother, But I get
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: the context you're saying in this is this how you
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: would want it? Like? Is this is this good? I
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: think this is definitely how I wanted it to be
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: when I got older, Like in my mid to late twenties,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: I always wanted to be like this. I always wanted
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: to feel like my sister's brother and for him to
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: just fit in. I think when you're younger, you have
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: like this totally different idea of what marriage and creating
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: your own family is. You think if it's more of
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: like like you're going to take another step instead of
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: like growing what you already have. But I love growing
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: what we already have. Such an important message right there
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: that I wonder how people feel, is you know, is
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: marriage taking a new step or is it growing what
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: you already have? Uh? That's that that's a huge, a
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: huge Uh. There's a dichotomy between the two of those
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: that we maybe can't fully process. But there that is
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: a massive moment for you to either take a new
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: step forward and I know some people have to do that,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: right maybe their family is no longer around, or maybe
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: it's not a healthy family dynamic. But then also you
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: have that dynamic that you're walking into where it's healthy
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: and people around, and you're just saying, this is just
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: something new, it's adding on to what's already been there.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Oh that's cool. Thanks for sharing that. That's a really
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: cool moment for you guys in a really amazing week
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: that Ashley Canetti uh soon to no longer be I
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Canettie stayed in her house for the last time as
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: a nonmarried woman. Ashley, you've you've been formed in front
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: of us over these last two years, and that everybody
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: out there saying has been able to be a part
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: of it. Thank you, Ben, You're sweet? All right? Should
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: we jump into the episode. Well, yeah, I think we
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: should transition this way. I think we should say, is
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Ashley no longer is a single woman living in her house?
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: It's very uh, it could be very possible that this
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: week Hannah comes home to her future husband's house. Time
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: look at that? What and a wild, wild relationship that
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: we have Ashley. Before we get digging in here to
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Hannah's week going to the hometowns, I would love for
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: you to tell all of our listeners about this, help
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: the sponsors to help put this on. And third love
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: is one that I know you love. Okay, wait, wait,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: can we talk about how last time I was with you,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: you actually called Jess and asked about her bras's eyes. Well,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I seriously overheard this conversation because he was because Ben
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: was getting his third love bra for Jess. Yeah, that
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: was kind of fun. Well, they are amazing. I'm sure
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: she's gotten hers and loves it. I love mine. It
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: is like the perfect It's just it's just a perfect bra.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: It makes my girls look perky and high and well supported.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: And it doesn't include like a ton it doesn't have
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: like a ton of petting, but it does the job
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: the way you wanted to do. It's because Third Love
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: uses these data points that are generated by millions of
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: women who have taken their fit finder quiz. They designed
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: bras with not just breast size but shape in mind
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: for a perfect fit in a premium feel. They offer
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: more than seventy sizes. This is more than any other company,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: including their signature half cup sizes. I'm not going to
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: go into detail with you, Ben, I don't want to
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: like reveal, just as like personal business like this, but
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: I wonder if she's a half cup size because I'm
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: a half cup size in Third Love and it's really
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: changed to the broad game for me. You get to
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: skip the trip to the mall and find your fit
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: with Third loves online fit finder quiz. You order online
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: and you try it on at home. No more awkward
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: fitting room experiences. It is very weird to have the
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: shop for such an intimate item and have people like
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: wanting to measure you. You just don't like. I never
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I've never been measured in the store. I'm like, nes,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: thank you, I will keep trying on myself. Um, there's
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: a one hundred percent fit guarantee because every customer has
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: sixty days to where it wash it and put the
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: brad to the test, and if you don't love it,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: you can just return it and Third Love will wash
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: it and donate it to a woman in need. I
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: know I've mentioned this on the podcast before, but it's
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: really crazy how a lot of donation companies they don't
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: take bras. They just don't accept bras. So I'm really
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: glad that Third Love is finding a way to get
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: bras to women in need. Um Third loves fit finder
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: experts are dedicated to helping you find the perfect fit.
• 9:29

• 9:34
  Speaker 1: love it when companies have that online chat or text feature.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: It just it changes the game. Because I don't know
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: about you, guys, I really don't like phone calls. But
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: I'm a malannils so of course I don't um. The
• 9:45

  Speaker 1: bed even better. Sleep is better, right, Just that that
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: feeling that you get to look forward to is better.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Adding these products to our wedding registry with Cretan Barrel
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: was super easy and fun to pick out because you
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: know you are in the store and you just scan
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: it right on your phone. Or if you'd forget to
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: register for betting, or you want to figure out which kind,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: you need extra time to think about what you want
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: to choose. Jared, I just got our flannels, which you
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: know we're going to say for colder season, but you
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: get to go back and add those things on the
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: app as well. So you don't have to register for
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: everything in the store. You can think about some things.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: I really like that about the Cretan Barrel app and
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: registering with Creating Barrel. So if you want a bed
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: like ours and it's a good one, I'll tell you

  Speaker 1: Start your Creating Barrel Registry at Creating Barrel dot com
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: slash Wedding dash Registry. You know, because we took last
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: week off, this week was a big week for us
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: to discuss. We knew this would be one of the
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: weeks that we help or hopefully discover we're Hannah's at
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: in these relationships, and I want to start this whole
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: thing actley before we break down. I think date by date,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: hometown by hometown is walking into this week after last
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: week because we didn't get to discuss it with the
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: listeners and our friends last week. What was your expectations,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: what were you excited about and kind of what were
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: your takeaways from last week leading into Hometowns? Okay, Well,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: based on the preview that we were given last week,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: we if we've really dissected it, we could see that
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: every guy made it to hometown to fantasy suites. Good,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: good point. So I think what I was most interested
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: in was seeing why she was so torn and so
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: indecisive that she couldn't eliminate someone during hometowns, meaning that
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: she liked everyone's hometowns or liked every guy enough to
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: bring them along. Um. And I guess this week to
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: me was Luke's best week, most likable week, and it
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: created and it made Jed somebody who we maybe don't
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: know if Hannah's going to enjoy family time was in
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: the future. Yeah, that's a good point. And I think
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: that's the big takeaway from last week. As we watched
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: last week's episode and we saw the promo, we knew
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: that something probably not very dramatic, was going to happen
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: this week. This week was really kind of the filler.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: It's important to meet the families. And I think, as
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: actually and I spoke last week about the episode, the
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: one thing that we were just excited about was just
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: continue to see when and how the Loop P Hannah
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: dynamic was gonna play out, and we got to see
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: that this week. But before we dive into Loop P,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: actually I want to start with the very first hometown
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: that we sawgical order. I think that would be the
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: best way, and our very first hometown was with pilot Pete.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Pete lives in west Lake. Can we talk about how
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: that was totally the episode, the part of the episode
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: that was taped last, because Pete lives in I mean,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: I'm just guessing here, but but let's it's an educated guest.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Because Pete lives in Westlake Village, California, which is legitimately
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: not even ten minutes away from the Bachelor mansion. Hannah's
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: hotel is in Westlake, California. So I just figured that
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: was the day before the rose ceremony, which is possibly
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: why she gave him the rose first. She was like,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: I had so much fun there, that was easy, Breezy,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: I'm giving him this rose fresh in her mind. You
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: couldn't you. I mean, honestly, that's a lot how this
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: happens oftentimes. The other part, though, it could be that
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: maybe he was the first because they flew back into
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: l a and before she took off again. Just one
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: of the film's first it definitely, but either way, he
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: pulls up here. Actually, this is where I get a
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: little bit Enviously, I'm gonna I'm gonna say that my
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: main feeling and I'll explain why as we continue through
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: this episode was envy and jealousy. I'll explain as we go.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: But my first moment of envy was he pulls up
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: in a little sexy Mercedes. Not what we picture Peter in,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: but he pulls up in a Mercedes and he calls
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: it his girl or something. And you know what I drive.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: We've talked about before two Ford Escape, Like this thing
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: has been my high school car. If I pulled up
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: to pick up my date in this car. The last
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: thing they're saying is that car is sexy. But Peter,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: he not only has a nice car, he also flies
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: a plane. Actually, at this point, what are your thoughts
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: on Peter? Peter is like he used to be that
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: boy scout and now he's kind of the stud. Does
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: a stud have to a nice car? No, not at all,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: but it's like adds an alert to him. Sure it helps.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: I'm like Delta is good to that guy. Delta him
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: really good to him, and he seems to know how
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: to drive it. The other thing he seems to know
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: how to do is make things a little awkward. And
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: one of the big moments of this week that I
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: didn't think would even be a big moment, but surprise, surprise,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Peters had sex and we've seen him be very physical
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: with Hannah throughout the season. We talked about it two
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: weeks ago where it's crazy that we still view Peters
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: kind of the innocent, non edgy guy, yet we've seen
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: the most edge out of him throughout the season. And
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Hannah finds a condom in his car? Is that awkward?
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Is that funny? Actually? What is your take? I think
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: it's funny. They were like they obviously handled it. Well,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: he's an adult and at least he's safe, right, I
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: don't know it was funny that she was snooping through
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: the center console because, like you just find out, you
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: actually can find out so many things about somebody through
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: what's in their center consoles. Through the console there for years, right, Yeah,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: my center console has like the most outdated CDs in them.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Things from ten years ago are in there. They still
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: do your car have a CD player? Yeah? So yeah,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: mine does. Do I still have a CD in my players? To? Oh?
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: I have them? Like I have Taylor Swift albums that
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: I'm like, actually a little o C D and uh,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: I'm just like a little bit superstitious about the order
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: that they're in and that they that they stay in
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: that spot. I would I feel a little bit like
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: this is a great moment for us to ask our
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: listeners what would be the weirdest or I guess what
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: would be the most telling thing found in your center
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: council of your car? Please email us at been an Ashley.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: I heart media dot com. Let us know what the
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: weirdest thing is. No judgment. I'm sure if I looked
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: out there now, I could find like multiple odd things
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: that people be like, I don't get it, this is odd,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: this is weird. I mean you would find stuff literally
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: since high school in my center council. You would find
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: a fishing license that's probably I know this perfectly, so
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: that's seven years um overdue, like it's expired. It It
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: literally would be weird. So please emails I've been an
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: actually I heard media dot com or tweet us and
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: hashtag almost famous podcasts and let us know what the
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: weirdest thing in your Center Center council would be. I
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: don't think it's weird that she found a condom. I
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: think it makes sense. Uh, you know, he, like I said, surprise, surprise,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: he has had sex. He's at least safe. It's a
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: funny moment though, and I think it's a little bit
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: of foreshadowing to what we're gonna see next week, where
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: sex is gonna, I would imagine, be the main topic
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: to the episode. I think sex will be probably what
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: we talked about most on this podcast next week, which
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: will be fun and exciting and weird and a tad awkward.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: But it feels like we're ramping up to really have
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: those really intense conversations. We see that too. That foreshadowing
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: again with Luke at the school, the Sunday school or
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: just like what would that be like that's not Sunday school.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Is a weird way of saying that, right, Yeah, small
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: group Sunday school or something like that. Okay, Well, we
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: see him talking about sex there, and I just think
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: that was so obviously a foreshadowing that's what we're going
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: to talk about next week. It really is he's setting
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: himself up for a massive implosion, but before we get
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: the Luke. Actually, my takeaway from Peter's hometown is that
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: his family seems really great. It's it's kind of like
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: it almost feels like my family, or at least it
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: reminded me of my family in the sense of my
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: parents were close, we love each other, but like they're weird.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: We're we're weird, Like I know that there's things that
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: happen when we're together that people on the outside probably
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: are like, this doesn't make sense, Like your dad is
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: cracking jokes that like never completely finished, and you know,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: like they bicker over the smallest of like house housing projects,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: but yet at the end of the night, they're always
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: cuddling up on the couch, like ultimately very affectionate with
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: each other. This is a weird family. It feels like
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: that for Peter's family. I really like Peter's family. Yeah,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: they're like the family that you most would want to
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: hang out with. They're just super warm. I loved how
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: emotional they were. I love that he brought up He
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: got so teary when he brought up his grandparents and
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: then his dad, Like, how do you explain the emotional
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: breakdown that his dadad. You think he's just like the
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: most hopeless romantic man. Yeah. Well, also, I mean and
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: and this this podcast. I'm gonna warn you now and
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: if you don't want to listen to it anymore, you
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: can turn it off from here. But this is gonna
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of very personal reflections that I've done
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: through watching this episode and reminding me of my time
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: on The Bachelor. Actually, so I'm gonna continue to pull
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: back to my own experiences and loves at Okay, I
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: just want to make sure that everybody's clear that the
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: way I related with this episode was how I related.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: But my dad broke down a couple of times during
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: my season. He broke down on after the final Rows,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: he broke oh yeah, he broke down during when I,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: when I showed when they showed up to Jamaica. My
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: dad's very emotional. And it's weird. You gotta think about
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: this actually, and we forget this piece, and I think
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: it's good for us to talk about now. Is all
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, your son or your daughter goes on
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: a show and they're gone for two and a half months.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: You haven't talked to him and they show up and
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: all you want for them is for them to be
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: filled with happiness, and now they are. You've missed us
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: out on a large portion of their life, and now
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: they're telling you they're falling in love and they're telling
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: you all about these amazing experiences they have, and you're
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: sitting there trying to take all this in As a parent,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: I think it's very easy to break down, especially if
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: you have that like sensitive like side. Do you m
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: it tough? And he has a mustache, so we just
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: gotta like him for that. He is a very cute dad.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: I really, I really liked that that whole segment of
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: the episode. I felt like it was super easy to watch.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: I think Hannah just had a great time and um,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know a lot much more to say about that. Well,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: the last question before I fill on Peters is our
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: synopsis that we've talked about is this The hometown date
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: was great. It felt like the one that was the
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: most loving and the most accepting and the most Jory filled.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: I think throughout this whole episode, I also think it's
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: the one that was carrying. It felt like kind of
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: the most progress from start to finish. I want to
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: say this though, you know. One big moment that we
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: we can't skip over is that Peter tells his mom
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: that he's falling hard and he's falling in love for Hannah,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: but he has yet to tell her. Ashley, what is
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: your opinion? Is this the week or is this the
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: time that it feels right? It feels almost weird for
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: me to even ask you, like, is this the week
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: to tell her that he loves her? Because it feels
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: like there's like a time to it or a pressure
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: on it. But we do. If he's feeling this way
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: and he's telling his mom this, would you expect him
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: to also tell Hannah yet? Or should he wait? I
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: think per norm they usually tell the bachelor of the
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: bachelorette the TV he's shaking, Do you have another earth quake?
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: If you guys don't know. We record these episodes in
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles and a lot of earthquakes recently. I think
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: everybody's a little on edge, and when the next one's
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: getting hit, actually you're like shaking your leg and like
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: the TV was shaking with you, or maybe that was
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: your screen. That was your screen and I was seeing
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: an illusion. Everybody's on edge in Los Angeles. Okay, So, um,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: I think normally this is the week that they end
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: up saying like, I'm falling in love with your, arm
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: in love with you. We always talked about the difference
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: between those two. Um, I feel like I would rather
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: them wait to fantasy sweet week, don't I Just I
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: like it when they take their time with it. I
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: think so too, I I really do. I agree with
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: you completely. It feels like if you have this feeling
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: that you want to tell her, and I get that
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: people are feeling this at this point, then you need
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: to wait to the appropriate moment, and doing it at
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: hometowns doesn't seem like that moment because you don't get
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: a lot of one on one time and there's not
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: a lot of follow up to discuss, you know, the
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: the just the backstory. And so I think, uh, the
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: overnight section is the one that really makes it makes sense, uh,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: And it gives them the most time to one on
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: one kind of speak about what they're actually feeling. But
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Peter has now said it. We know how Peter is feeling.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: His heart's on his sleeve. His family has now invested,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Peters invested. We like Peter a lot on this podcast.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: We have since the beginning. I still think if he
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: doesn't the one chosen he's the next bachelor, it's either
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: him or might Really Okay, so I'll play a little
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Devil's advocate here, but actually it's not even Devil's advocates,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: just how I feel. Um, let's look at the Instagram numbers.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: I think that it's so hard to deny the fact
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: that Tyler has a hundred. Let me see what he's got.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: He had over a hundred. He over had over eight
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: hundred thousand yesterday when I checked, and he probably has
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: more now. He has eight hundred and thirty eight thousand followers.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: That's how invested women are in him versus Peter, who
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: has almost five hundred. And let's see Jed. I mean,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Jed has obviously, like he's just not a candidate anymore
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: after the cheating thing, he has three hundred and fifty thousand,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: and then well Luke is obviously also not a candidate.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: So yeah, well that's a good point. I mean, it
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: typically does seem to follow what the fans are most
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: invested in. I also think that those numbers are a
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: little skewed right now because there's a lot more people
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: on Instagram than ever before. And so I think the
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: differentiator between those four is very telling to what fans
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: are following. And I think, like you said, Tyler seems
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: to be the fan favorite it. But the question is
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: the show knows more than anybody else, and it's been
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: our questional season. Is he ready, which we're gonna get
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: to know a little bit more on his hometown if
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: he's ready or not. But before we do that, we
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: have a couple of sponsors once again that we want
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: to talk about and think because we appreciate them more
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: than they probably even appreciate us. We now visit the
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: beautiful Jupiter, Florida. Hey, quick fact here my cousin, my
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: dad's cousin is the town manager of Jupiter Island, Florida.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: So I've been on there many times, very familiar, my
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: whole families from there, um more mom on my my
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: grandpa's side, So I've been a Jupiter bunch. It's a
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: beautiful area, Ashley. As we talked about before we took
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: a break, Tyler is definitely the fan favorite and the
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: flast four remaining. Uh, he's shirtless driving a boat rubbing
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: sunscreen on Hannah and she's rubbing on him. Can we
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: picture a sexier date? No, it was the ultimate Tyler date.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: It was perfect for Jupiter, It's perfect for Tyler. A
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: boat and a tiki bar, followed by his lovely family.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: It was just great and like Tyler just keeps winning
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: this get like in my eyes, like Tyler is the
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: one that there's just like nothing wrong. There's nothing wrong
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: right now. I mean, I guess Peter. There's nothing wrong
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: with Peter either. No, the two of them feel very
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: similar and like who they are and how they're interacting
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: with Hannah and who they are as just men. And
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: they're both good looking dudes who have it together, who
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: seem like guys who want to do the best possible
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: or live life in the best possible way to be
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: the best possible men. I feel like this episode made
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: like if you had any doubts about Tyler being a
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: player after seeing him with your fit with a family,
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: because I feel like everybody has had those those doubts
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: all season, like how can he be this great and
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: be this good looking and lala? But then you see
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: him with his face, I'm laying you're like, No, I
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: pretty much think this guy is straight up genuine. Yeah,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: I do you know the only thing that I get
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: And I know this will women everywhere will just be
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: so mad at me for saying this. This will be great.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: I look at his I look at his Instagram, and
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: I do wonder how much self promotion is going on.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: I do that often with these guys. You know, there's
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: a lot of modeling pictures, that kind of thing. That's
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: the only thing that's still making me go, is this guy, Like,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: is he in it to not be about himself? And
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: I think I started out questioning it a few weeks ago.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: I discussed that, and I am starting to be sold
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: that he really is in it for Hannah, that he's
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: in it to try to find somebody. He just happens
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: to be ridiculously good looking. And I think the country
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: is starting to turn and say, yeah, he's not a player.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: He hasn't at least shown any signs of it yet,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: and we have. I mean the crazy part is we've
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: now heard it with both Peter and Jed that they've
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: maybe had relationships leading up to the show. Yeah, what's
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: a Peter thing? Can you do you know anything? There's
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: speculation that he had a girlfriend as well. Yeah, but
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: they broke up about a month before filming started, which
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: feels a lot better to me than just leaving with
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: a girlfriend telling her, hey, when I come back, like,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: this will be all good. So I think that's why
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Jed's you know, kind of story continues. But um, we
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: haven't heard anything about Tyler. He seems we want escaping
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: to the clear, and so let's let's assume Tyler is
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: not a player. Then we have this really good looking
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: dude who drives boats around Florida who wasn't a player. Actually,
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: are you in the Tyler camp? Oh? Yeah, I mean
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Tyler is number one. Really, Tyler's my number one. I
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: think Tyler is the one that we're all saying, this
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: guy's got that in factor, he's got something special. Actually, Tyler,
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: everybody on Twitter last night, uh you know it's We've
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: got a lot of responses on Twitter and then also
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: through email, but well, everybody on Twitter last night was
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: saying how emotional these hometown dates made them. And the
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: emotional piece that I found out that really got people
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: going was Tyler's time home seeing his dad for the
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: first time. A couple of weeks ago, we heard that
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Tyler's dad had been sick right up until Tyler left.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: Also that you know, Tyler's dad did it really well
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: for himself about ten fifteen years ago and then ultimately
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: lost their their childhood home to the recession. So there's
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: a lot of backstory and grit built into Tyler and
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: his dad's relationship. And so I think when they saw
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Tyler's dad for the first time, there was a lot
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: of emotion there and it reminded me of my story
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: that one. I don't know how often we've even talked
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: about in the podcast, and I almost think I've never
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: talked about it during the show. It's kind of crazy.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: So I get it you and viewers, I need you
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: to understand this. You leave this podcast for Lee, for
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: this show, you're gone from months at a time, you
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: don't have contact with anybody back home, no phone, no computer,
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: no internet, no nothing. And so you leave and say,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna kind of put life back home on pause
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: for months and go explore love. For so many reasons,
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: it's a great thing. It helps you focus, it takes
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: a way outside like distractions, but for a lot of reasons,
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: it's also hard and sad, and there's a lot of
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: excitement and anxiety and emotion build up to when you
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: talked to your family who you love dearly or friends
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: for the first time in a long time. Right before
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: my time on The Bachelor, my dad and actually I
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: think you knew this. He had triple bypass surgery a
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: week and a half before I left for The Bachelor.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: The Bachelor, yeah, so like he was recovering still up
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: until really the day I left, and then when I
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: left him, I go on the show and we're traveling
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: the world, but really for me, it was, uh, the
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: North just the North America. Um well, at the same time,
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to talk to this guy who I
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: saw on a hospital bed get his chest cracked open.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: It's hard. I have a question. Did they let you
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: talk to your parents more often then? Like obviously the
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: regular cast can't call home. I actually got to for
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: like thirty seconds once because my parents thirtieth anniversary maybe yeah,
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: I was their anniversary, my dad's oh, my dad's sixtieth birthday,
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: so I got to call home for thirty seconds. Did
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: you get to call home more often, especially given that
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: your dad was sick. Yeah, I definitely did. But at
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: the same time, they're always really weird conversations because you
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: never get to have them alone, so they're either being
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: taped or there's about four people sitting around you. So
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: like if you know as my dad, you know it's
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: saying these things and as I remember the last I
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: saw Hi him in the hospital. But like you get emotional,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: well then you know what's going to be on TV,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: and do you I guess for me, I don't want
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: to use my dad's you know, heart surgery to bring
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: in emotion from the fans of the viewers. Like that
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: feels like I'm almost playing the victim to my band.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: So like I would try to keep it together. Dad,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: how you doing, I'm good, you know, good Dad? Happy
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: for you, Like I don't want to dig deep like
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: I would if we were together. And so I think
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: this is a really precious moment for Tyler and his
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: dad and one that I do understand and get. All
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to say here is I get what it
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: feels like to walk into a room and see somebody
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: you love for the first time in months, when you've
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: been thinking about them constantly and worrying about them constantly,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: and you see them and you hug them, and it
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: feels like a weight is lifted. But at the same time,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: at least during this one town, it felt like it
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: was just the beginning to a lot of emotion being
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: shared for Tyler to say, Hey, I'm bringing this girl
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: home who I really care about? Yeah, oh absolutely. I
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: think that what Hannah was actually so attracted to was
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: the fact that Tyler kind of like put the family
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: pants on during the dad's coma when his dad was
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: so sick, that he like kind of took over for
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: his dad. And I think leading a family like that
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: taking care of business is always a very attractive quality
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: for a woman to see in a man. And she
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: was like oddly kitty over it, you know, yeah, No,
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: I mean wouldn't you be like yeah, I mean as
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: a man or as a mom. Think about it this way.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: If you're a mom and you saw your son, you know,
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: buckle up the bootstraps, put on the pants, and start
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: to be a father figure and also a meal influence
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: in the household. That's not only a problem moment for
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: a mother, but it's also a really attractive moment for
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: any person, man or a woman, because you look at somebody,
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: go you have grit, you have a you have characteristics
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: that show that you're ready for commitment and that you're
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: a leader at any level. You're a leader who will
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: step up to any type of problem that you're facing.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: And I think there's no wonder that Hannah is looking
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: at this guy going to, wow, this is something special.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: I get it. It's great, it's great. And then they
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: sent then he sent her off and that in to
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: y SUV and it was hot, and again Tyler went
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: in the day. It just feels like to me after
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: watching this week, actually, and we'll get into Jed more,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: and I don't want to just continue to pound him
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: into the ground here, but I just have dismissed him
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: so much from this whole show that I watched this
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, yeah, it's it's the It's the Tyler
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: and Pete show. Like this other stuff is just like
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: entertaining and it's a joke. Okay, Well, let's talk about Jed.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: When we get to Jed, let's talk about Luke first,
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: because I do have, of course the most to say
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: about Jed's hometown. Yeah, let's talk about Luke. I think
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: what we have found out this week about Luke and
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: Hannah's relationship is that their common bond is over their
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: religion and the faith is keeping her into him because
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: perhaps she doesn't share that with the other three. It's
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: interesting we haven't heard I'm thinking about now, we haven't
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: heard the other three talk much about their faith. But
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: at the same time, you know, this is where my
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: envy really comes in. And I've spoken about it all season,
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: and I have a theory now. It's been really hard
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: for me to process. And as you know, I respect
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: this show a lot, and it's been really good for me.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: But I do have one major issue right now with
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: the show that I'm it's a theory, I cannot prove it, um,
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: but I was wondering why, you know, my my faith
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: in Jesus is the core of everything I do. It's
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: a lot of things I do don't make sense without it, right, Like,
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: if I'm boring, it's probably because I'm trying to practice
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: or think about, um, some of the teachings of Jesus.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: Or if I'm speaking about, you know, my love for
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: family and my desire for kids, it's probably coming from
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: my faith in Jesus. Or if it's my my desire
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: to serve and to use my time, maybe not for
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: myself but others, it's coming from my faith in Jesus, Like,
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: it's the core of what I do, and it was
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: discussed often and it was never own and as a result,
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: it was frustrating to me because you know, as a Christian,
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: it doesn't make sense for me to do many things
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: in my life outside of trying to show that God
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: loves each and every person that has ever been on
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: this earth. Like, it doesn't make sense for me to
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: do that. It doesn't make sense for me to to
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: live a life that's that's meaningless for for any personal gain.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: That's not what I believe. And so I was frustrated
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: often this season with how much Luke's faith was being shown,
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: because yes, I'm not going to question his faith. I
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: don't think that's fair of me. I don't know what
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: his interactions with God have been or have not been,
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: or how healthy his relationship with God is. But for me, Ashley,
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: it's really frustrating because Luke and I see very differently
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: on our ideals of Christianity. We've talked about two weeks ago.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Is Luke's gonna be a lot more conservative? Uh? He
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: is going to feel like a lot more things are
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: black and white and the simplicity to the faith is
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: going to feel very easy to explain where mine. You know,
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: my faith really lies in a bunch of questions. I
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: just have a thousand questions. But I the end of
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: the day, I believe in Jesus and I believe that
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: he is God because of my life experience. So with
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: all that being said, I'm I was really frustrated with
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: how much faith talk has been shown because it doesn't
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: feel like it mirrors necessarily the faith that I have.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: And this week it made sense to me for the
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: first time. And I want to tell you why. I
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: want to hear what you think of this, and listeners,
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: I want to hear you think, so please, emails have
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: been an Actually I heart media dot com. I think
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: that my faith isn't entertaining because it has a lot
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: of questions. Like my my faith is driven by questions,
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: what is this all about? What is life all about?
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: How are we supposed to interact with people? Is there
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: a God? Is there not a God? Does that God
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: love us like us? Hate us? Is it just distant
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: and forgotten? Like? What is God? Those are my questions
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: And that's how my faith is driven in and really
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: it's how my conversations are driven with Luke, it's entertaining
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: because their stances that has been taken that. It's entertaining
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: because there's anger that's involved, and there's conviction and what's
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: right and wrong. And his communication style oftentimes is confusing
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: and it often leads to us to get become opinionated ourselves.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: And so this week, as he enters into his Bible
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: study or small group or whatever that was, it was
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: entertaining to watch because his story confuses the masses while
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: at the same time captivating us to the further story
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: that's gonna come down the line, which is is he
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: going to reject Hannah because she's had sex. I think
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: that's why faith has been such a conversation with Luke,
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: and I want to hear what you think. So you're
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: saying that you think it's like a definitive thing, like
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: he doesn't question this is how it is because it's
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: funny for the public. Yeah, because I guess he I
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: guess it's entertaining because there's no wiggle room for him, right,
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: and it's more fire and brimstone. It's it's the kind
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: of conversations that we've had for you know, with the
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: history of the church and not the born people. But
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: you know, in the last four years, we've slowly progressed
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: into this very conservative mindset where Western uh, you know,
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: Christianity has become very very much black and white, where
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: we've lost the majesty, the magic, the mysticism to it
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: that Eastern Christianity has always had. And so his is
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: very much like, almost entertaining because it seems so far
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: off from what anybody that isn't maybe a conservative Southern
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: born Christian feels. Do you think do you think that
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: he has gained a fan base this week amongst those
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: very conservative, not questioning Southern Christians. Oh, I think those,
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of people. I mean I got
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: a ton of texts from friends that in the South
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: that we differ and we talk beliefs in religion, and
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: they texted me and said, Wow, how great is it.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: I literally got it from a buddy that says, how
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: great is it that the Bachelor is finally showing Christianity
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: on television? And my response was, but was it healthy?
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, like, it doesn't look good, it doesn't look right,
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: but it doesn't look good. It doesn't allow anyone that
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: isn't a Christian to go wow, that makes sense. It
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: feels isolating and rejecting, and it feels like the kind
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: of the tone that we've taken, and especially in our generation,
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: with any type of divisive topics, is this is how
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: it is, and this is how it isn't, and this
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: is what I think, and this is what you should think.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: And now we're all going to get around in a
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: circle and pep each other up and tell each other
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: how great we are. And then we're gonna go and
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: live our lives and act like everything is perfect or
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: at least very judgy, a little bit cult like. I
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: think it feels very very Southern Baptist Christian, and I
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: think that for the masses that watch The Bachelor, it
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: does feel very judgy. I completely agree with you, but
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: it's frustrating to me because I sit here, Ashley, and
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: I go everyone. I don't know Luke's faith. I'm not
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: going to question if he believes or what his motives are.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know him. I don't know that I don't
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: This isn't a Luke problem. This is a this is
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: a disagreement with his viewpoints, which we should all have,
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: and we're all fair to have those. But what I
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: want to say is that do you realize that there's
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: so much more when it comes to our relationship with
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: God and our relationship with others and the majesty and
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: the questions that this world has to offer, then hey
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: don't have sex, or hey have sex? Like, do we
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: know that there's such? Does something so much more complex
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: to this world than that? And why are we boiling
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: down Christianity to be like God talk to me because
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: he doesn't want me to do X or he doesn't
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: want me to do Why? Why is that the tone
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: that we're taking. And that's what's so frustrating to me
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: is because I feel like it's just continue to push us.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: We're a shandy acts as something nobody can understand why
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: the rest of the world rejects and laughs at it?
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: Is it so weird that this show over the past
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: couple of years has been so focused on sex and
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: who is having or not having it? I think it is.
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: Does it feel a little bit odd? Like it feels
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: weird because I just don't think it's something that is
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: I don't think it needs to be as big of
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: a deal as they're making it seems season after season.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: Is it is sex sell that much? I think the
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: topic of sex is such a intimate, raw topic for
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: all of us, and one that still feels a little
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: bit taboo um because of you know, just our generation
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: and kind of how our parents are raised that it
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: feels like we're still like tiptoeing the line between doing
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: something bad by talking about it, and so we all
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: want to see it, talk about it here it um.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: I think we'll see that slowly go away to where
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: we can have more honest dialogue. It doesn't seem so weird,
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean, I but I'll be on this.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: Actually if there's a preview like this one that says
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: Hannah had sex with a guy twice in a in
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: a lighthouse, like, I'm gonna be talking about it. A windmill?
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: Wind mill? That's it? How do you do that? I
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: don't going up? And that is that thing, that feeling
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: that a fantasy suite takes place in a windmill. Apparently
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: Greece has windmills, even though uh, Amsterdam in Holland and
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: the Netherlands are known for their windmills. Um. I believe
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: that the sex happens next week, but we'll see. Yeah.
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: I think Actually what I want to get out was
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: I'm envious because I would have loved to talk about
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: Jesus during and I'm sad that I that wasn't a topic.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: And I'm also a little sad of how Jesus is
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: being portrayed this season for the right or wrong. If
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: if Luke was having so much sex that it was
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: a problem, or if he was feel like having sex
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: at all was a problem. And he's a better man
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: because he stopped and he was no longer mistreating women,
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: or he was no longer mistreating himself and his party
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: ways allowed it for clarity to where he can now
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: start to focus on people better. We got to celebrate that,
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: like that's a good victory in life for anybody to
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: where they can get rid of things that are harmful
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: to themselves to help them become a better person. Now
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: all those things will be different to everybody. But his
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: friends are saying something the whole time, actually that as viewers,
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: I think we we saw a lot of tweets they're
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: saying it's laughable because all of his friends are saying
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: he's the nicest dude ever. One tweet that we got says,
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: of course Luke would fill the room with a bunch
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: of people that will make him look like the best
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: guy ever. Do you agree or disagree or do you
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: think that Luke back Home is really that type of
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: guy to everybody loves. I think that Luke back Home
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: probably surrounds himself with people that really genuinely like him,
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: as we all do. I feel like he just he
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: rubs the guys in this in the Bachelor House the
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: wrong way because they don't see the world like he
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: does or tries to see the world. There's an interesting
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: take that Lauren uh is speaking of what you just said.
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: Lauren's has an interesting take this week where I heard
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: her talking and she said, you know, the one thing
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: we got to give Luke credit forward. It seems like
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: the fans are is that he is still the one
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: guy that's definitely there for Hannah. You know, Tyler and
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: Pete embrace once Peter gets back to the house like
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: true friends do, and and and Jed seems to get
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: along with those guys just fine. But but Luke is
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: still the guy that has no friends in the house.
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: But it's still there for Hannah. Do we feel like
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: there is room for friendship while at the same time
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: you're falling in love and dating the same woman. As
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: certain point, I think there's gonna be tension between the friends,
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: especially especially when it comes top four. There's a good
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: reason why. That's the time where you stop interacting with
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: the other cast members. You're completely separated from them. I
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: don't know if a lot of people know that. The
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: only times you see the other cast members during this
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: week and on is at Rose ceremonies. And I do
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: feel like they can have a great friendship, but it
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: definitely feels a little weird to be like congratulating and
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: and stuff and being happy that the other guys sticking
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: around at this point, because then it does feel like, oh, well,
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: how invested are you and her? If you're still happy
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: your your friend is hanging around, I think, you know,
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: you think you can question that. I look back on
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: my time with Sean Booth, and we were really good friends,
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: and he obviously ended up with Caitlin, and I wanted
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: to celebrate him, but also it was happy for them
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: because we were better friends, like we were good friends,
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: and so I wanted to celebrate them as a couple
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: because I knew who he was as a man, and
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: I knew at the time how much they cared for
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: each other. But it did feel weird at all levels
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: for him to ever confide in me about his relationship,
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: and I'm sure it was vice versa, and so at
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: some point we just stopped talking about it. Yeah, at
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: some point, I think like you put it kind of
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: on pause. It would be beneficial though. I will say
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: this for Hannah if Luke or if Tyler and Pete
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: get along really well, that at the end of this,
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: if she ends up with one of them and not
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: the other, because then they will hopefully discuss and and
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: and they will both understand why she was so into
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: both of them, and there's no longer that tension between
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, do you still think about Tyler? Oh
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: my gosh, you still think about Peter? They'll say, No,
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: we all get along just fine. We respect each other,
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: we like each other. But I'm ultimately moving on with
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: one of those guys alone. That That's not how Sean
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: was with you, guys. Um we talked for a little
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: bit afterwards. I think it just gets hard. I think
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: it gets weird because you have to watch it back
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: then and you have to see this person that you
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: love saying things and doing things with your friends, and
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: it's like I don't like this, Like, this isn't fun
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: for me to watch her at all any level making
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: out with people, especially people that I consider my friends.
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: You take it personally for a while, and I think
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: over time it fades. But there is good examples of
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: people who get along post show. I think Blake and
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: Garrett get along really well post show. Um, I think, uh,
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't know about Nick season if they
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: get along very well post show. But you know, Cassie
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: is really good friends with Kalin, So that's happening post show.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: Like there's things that happen there there that does exist. Um, hey,
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: I actually want to talk to you a little bit.
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: We obviously know that Luke's family is going to support him.
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's family, and we hope they would. That
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: would be really sad if they didn't. Were you Does
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: your viewpoint of Luke after his hometown has it changed
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: at all? Has this done anything good for you? I
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: mean it helps them a little bit because his family
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: seems genuinely nice and like they seemed pretty lovely right, Um,
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: the sister, the sister in law, and the brother. They
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: really try to defend him. It was interesting. I actually
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: loved how Hannah was so upfront with like, this hasn't
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: been easy for us, Like he has created a lot
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: of complications along the way. But um, I guess, like
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: this is the best I've ever felt about Luke. But
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: it doesn't mean that like I am rooting for him
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: in any capacity? Is it weird for you? A big
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: article came out this week or last night on US
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: Weekly about Hannah's text during the show and how kind
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: of controversial there were her tweets, sorry and We're One
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: tweet said, have you ever told a family that nobody
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: likes your son? That? You know what I took It
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: doesn't sound like somebody that has a fiance like with
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: like that Luke is her fiance, Like I don't think
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: my fiance would be tweeting something like that. Oh yeah, no,
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: totally not. So it obviously doesn't. Yeah, well, I mean
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: we obviously don't we. I think it's not a spoiler
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: because we already see We've already seen Luke's exit, so
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: so it's pretty we're just kind of waiting to see
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: when he goes home. I guess why why have they?
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, like, I know it's great teaser, but I'm
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: still kind of confused. Why they would leave this so
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: anti climatic for us because they put the best stuff
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: in the teeth or I mean, unless there's like better
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: stuff waiting for us. Oh, I think from everything I
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: hear and I still don't know how this ends. But
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: the rumors that go around Bachelor Nation right now and
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: is that this season ends in the wildest way ever
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: the season ends. But I'm talking about like the windmill,
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: like her confessing to Luke that she did have sex
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: with somebody, and that whole scene, which is kind of
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: like this season's fence jumping scene. I just am really
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: curious as to why they've shown Luke attached to that
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: scene because wouldn't it be better if we didn't know
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: who she was talking to in that moment? Like why
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: did they give away his exit for us? Well, because
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: I think it's actually I have a theory that there's
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: so many other amazing things that are gonna happen the
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: next few weeks that that is just a small little moment.
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: Really Okay, I think there's some crazy things going to happen,
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: and I think her talking to Luke about this is
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: something that will watch with intrigue and it will ultimately
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: be a big moment, but it will just be a
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: moment and it won't be a storyline. Okay, well, there
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: is that hole he comes back with the ring thing.
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: That's something we've kind of forgotten about. There's a lot
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: to do and a lot to go on, and we're
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: we're just really getting into it. We have weeks left. Um,
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: so okay, finally I want to touch once again. Hannah
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: sent some tweets out last night that were controversial that
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: people seem to be uh maybe criticizing or judging or
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: also celebrating. Are you a fan of this? Did any
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: of them rub you the wrong way? Uh? Do you
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: want her to continue this? Or she should she stay
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: off of social media until the end of the season.
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: Should we go through these? So she quoted Trains two
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: thousand one hit drops of Jupiter last night, and she
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: tweeted back from the atmosphere now drops of Jupiter in
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: her hair, alongside a photo of them in the ocean,
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: her and Tyler. So she's looking upon Tyler still highly
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: possibly nostalgic romantically. You do you confirm? Yeah, I do confirm.
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: I mean I think I don't think it points me
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: to if they're together or not. But I just think
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of After reading through all the texts
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: or tweets on each one of the people, it feels
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: like you can tell definitely who she's in favor of
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: and who she's not. And she's definitely in favor of Tyler. Yeah,
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: so even if they don't end up together, she's still
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: like a fan. Yes, definitely, and and h Tyler has
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: also tweeted very kind things about Hannah as well in
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: the past couple of weeks. I think it's going to
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: be one of those scenarios that you, even if they're
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: not together, which I wouldn't be surprised that they are,
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of respect and that this will ultimately
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: come down to them sitting at after the final rows
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: or mentel all or whatever, either madly in love or
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: just like super positive about each other. Yeah, totally. And
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: then she tweeted during her dates with Luke and and
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: uh jed god bless this mess. Huh again, I don't think.
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: I don't think that points is to thinking that she's
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: with either of them. That's my read on that, right,
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, public, what do you think let us know
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: through Twitter or through email? But these tweets seem to
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: be pointing that she's if she's saying, god, bus is mess,
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: Like I don't think she's with le Jet or Luke,
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: but maybe she is. But I mean, like, I guess
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: it's just gonna be like all of our own families
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: just a mess, are they is? And it always well
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: not really not with me and probably not with you.
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: You get along with Just's family and yeah, this is
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: not mess rust either, So our biggest mess is like,
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: you know, how good of a time can we have
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: and if like baseball is on and how are we
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: gonna fit that into the dinner? So like, no, I
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: get along grade with her family, and I'm sure there's
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: gonna be moments where like, oh, we need a break.
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, just just in it's been a week with
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: my parents and she left and she's like that was awesome.
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: Now I'm guaranteeing there's moments where she was like, I
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: need to get out of this house. This is crazy.
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: But for the most part, we got along fine. So
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Ashley listeners out there, please go back
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: through read this article. Um, it's just shows the tweets
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: that Hannah was sending. It seems to be pointing in
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: the direction of Tyler and Pete being oh my god,
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: oh my god. All right, there's another two. We have
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: to read what she said during the Georgia date, which
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: was with Luke. She goes, uh, I was on Med's,
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: I was sick. I went to urgent care. I do
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: not know the things I said while in Georgia. So
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: she did say about Luke in her interview I'm in
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: love with Luke, or she said I love Luke, and
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: she was I mean, I'm falling in love with Luke.
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: So she obviously is saying like I was totally incoherent
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: when I said that. Oh no, that's not good for anybody.
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: But here's my question. This brings up a new topic.
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: How I cannot wait to talk to Hannah. It's gonna
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: be one of my first questions. How often was she
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: sick on this show? Sick like almost every week. The
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: poor girl's got like a constant flu. She's still looking great.
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: There was another perpetic thing she posts it on Instagram
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: that I think is now gone. It was her at
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers game and she said something and it was
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: the day that the Jet news broke. But it looks deleted.
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: Now interesting, I'm going to type that in right now. Okay,
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: while you do that. While you do that, keep talking
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: while I do that, Keep talking while you do that. Actually,
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: let's take a break and let's talk to everybody about
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: some of our favorite sponsors who we care so much about.
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: I Heard Radio wants you to be part of history

• 57:26
  Speaker 1: Our sponsors keep this thing going. But Ashley, before break
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: was talking about how there's a cryptic Instagram message that
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: Hannah has sent out that has now been deleted, we think,
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: but she's found it, Ashley tell our listeners. Yeah, so
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: she has deleted it. I think looking at her profile.
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: A couple of weeks ago, when the Jed thing came out,
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: Hannah posted a picture of her throwing the first pitch
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: out at a Dodgers game, and the caption read throwing
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: out pitches snitches, referring to possibly Lindsay Jed's X as
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: a snitch. Oh, throwing out pitches snitches the day of
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: I do gotta give Hannah credit that if she is
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: really cryptically writing these messages, she does a pretty freaking
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: good job at it. Yeah. She Her tweets are really funny.
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: They're super cryptic. They're hard to understand sometimes, but if
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: you read through them, you're like, I get it, Like
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: girl smart, she's getting it. Um. Speaking of Jed, we've
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: got to jump in here. Uh we're runningut of time,
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: but we've got to talk about Jed's hometown. I think
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: it was a train wreck. I don't think it makes
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: any sense, uh, the Jed. And again I say all this, Ashley,
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: because I unfortunately I've dismissed Jed from the show because
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: of what we found out about him. I also don't
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: love that his ex girlfriend has gone on every single
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: it feels like podcast or talk show out there to
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: discuss this thing. It no longer makes this thing feel
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: like an organic like situation. Just feels like there's a
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: story to be told and she's telling it. But I'm
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: not a fan that Jed did this whole thing. I
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: don't know the back story. We've never talked to Jet
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: and hopefully you get him on the podcast soon to
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: get to the bottom of it. But once again, music
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: is a part of his date. We've never seen anything
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: like this before. What's your thoughts. It's so bizarre, how
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: like he's admitted that it came on to promote his career,
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: and like we've said before, we've never seen any other
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: musician gets so much music screen time. I that that
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: being said, I mean, I think it was super it
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: was super crazy. It's super crazy that the hometown was
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: them writing a song in a studio and then they
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: went to the family in which like they literally were like,
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: we're more supportive of his music career than we are
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: with his relationship, possibly with you. But but I have
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: to say that it was a very genuine moment. When
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: they were at the mic singing the song together her,
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, I feel this. This feels really genuine.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: I feel like maybe he fell in love with her.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: So then I'm sitting on the couch and I'm like, Jared,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: I think he does love her, and this is like
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: all just too bad. And then he goes, doesn't matter,
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: and I go, well, yeah, of course it matters. It
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: makes me feel good that he you know, that he
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: genuinely did end up falling for her, totally unexpectedly. But
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: he goes, but in the end, doesn't matter, and I
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: go like, yes, not because although it makes me feel
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: better about his character, at the end of the day,
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: he's not somebody that maybe it doesn't make me feel
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: better about his character, but it makes me just feel
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: It makes me, like have feel good that he got
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: tricked in damn it. What is the words here? What
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: are the words here? He got? I like the way
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: that the process he the process worked for him him,
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: and like was like, ha ha, jokes on you. It
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: worked and you never even thought it was a possibility.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: That's what I like. He got what he had coming
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: for him, Like he went into this whole thing saying
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: I'm not here to be famous. He says that up front,
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: and he almost tries to get ahead of the game
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: by saying, oh, I wasn't here or it came to
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: be famous and I fell in love. And so he's
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: helping like the fuse the argument that he ultimately knows
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: will come down the line later. And then we kind
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: of all believe him. I remember it, We all believe
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: they were like, that's kind of cool that he did that,
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: and we get it. And then at the very end
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: it turns back on him and it blows back up
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: in his face. So thank you, yes, jokes on him.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: That's what I kind of like about it. But then
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: when Jared was like, what doesn't matter at the end
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: of the day, and I'm like, I guess you're right.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: I guess it doesn't because you can't be in a
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: relationship with somebody that you can't trust, no matter how
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: much you love them, because trust is such a crucial
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: part of a relationship. And Hannah, when she finds this
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: this news out about the girlfriend, I don't think he's
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: ever going to be able to fully trust him. It's
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: it's a. Really, it's gonna be really interesting how this
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: whole thing ends. But I think one telling factor was
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: how his family treated Hannah on the hometown date. I
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: would have been so turned off and I would have
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: had a conversation with him after that hometown date. Yeah,
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, it feels like they wanted to, but they
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: didn't want to throw them under the bus on national television.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: They felt like I felt like they were being like
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: tongue in cheek the whole time, wanting to tell him, Hey,
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: what's going on here, while at the same time not
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: saying anything because they knew it would make him look
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: like an idiot. And I think he was probably sitting
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: there the whole time, nervous, going I know what there's
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: going through their head. I want to tell them. I'm
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: trying to like cryptically tell them that everything's fine and
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: that I have this under control. But at the same time,
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: I bet they're freaking out because now I'm bringing a
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: girl home, saying him in love with her, and we're
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: going off to hometown or fantasy suites together. So you
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: you do think that they were acting so rudely bizarrely
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: because they were like, what the heck is going on
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: here and like in some way maybe they were trying
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: to deter Hannah from picking him. Yeah yeah, definitely good
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: for them too, Yeah yeah, I wish they would have
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: done it in a way that didn't seem so offensive
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: towards Hannah. They seem to like really bel the mom
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: and the sister. Especially the mom really seemed to belittle
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: and demean the process of the Bachelor at And it's
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: just so ironic that she said, I'm sure you're saying
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: I love you to all these guys and Hannah was like, no, no,
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: I really haven't. And then she's the one who has
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: the son who said I love you to another girl
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: right before going on the show. Mm hmm, how wild
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: is that? Right? So crazy? Well, I gotta respect the parents,
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: and I know people are giving the parents a little
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: grief last night. Yes, we think about the situation there
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: in Ashley, like we need to understand the place that
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: they're getting in. Their son comes home with a woman
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: who he has had a girlfriend two months before. They're
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: not only angry with him, they're confused by the show.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: The show's invading their house. He's telling him he loves there,
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: Like they're probably really confused and they just want to
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: They're gonna be distant, they're gonna be a little bit angry.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: They're gonna say things that probably don't make sense because
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: nothing that's happening in their own household is making sense
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: right now to them. Okay, can be upset with it.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: We should say that Lindsay in her many interviews, has
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: said that she didn't meet the family, So that would,
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: you know, contribute to the confusion. Uh, you know what
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: the heck is going on with with this? We just
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: met a girl that you said that you love, and
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: you said that you were just leaving for career reasons
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: and all that. But I'm just some super confused by
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: why they would put so much sass towards Hannah because
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: the mom's eyes, like the mom and the sister's eyes
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: just had so much coldness to them. Why didn't we
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: see conversations between the mom and the sister with Jed
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: and them giving sass to Jed And why would they
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: be cold towards Hannah's on Hannah's issue as Jed's issue.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: So even like as a loving parent, you're still gonna
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: be like, there's some this is this is wrong, You're
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: doing something wrong. Hannah's not doing anything wrong. Yeah, but
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: I gotta think about my parents in this situation where
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: I know if my parents had something like this happening,
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: they would be so thrown off and their attitudes would
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: have been so negative and confused that their whole persona
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: would have been cold to everybody. Yeah, there's no like
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: turning it on or off with my parents, right if
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: you're if if something's happened that's turned them off, they're
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: gonna be turned off to everybody, like at least for
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: that period of time. And it's in their own home,
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: so they're not able to get away and like take
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: t tende breasts to like regroup. This is all happening
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: to them at once, and I wouldn't be surprised because
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: they don't understand the whole situation. If they're grouping Hannah
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: in with this whole experience and they're not able to
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: compartmentalize them and say, oh, Hannah really has nothing to
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: do with this. I wonder if they're thinking, oh, Hannah
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: knows all about this, like what what I mean? I
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: bet they want to ask you the question, does Hannah
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: know about Lindsey? But they didn't because they're smart enough
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: to say, wait, that could be bad if she doesn't.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: But what if she does and she's good with it,
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: then we're angry at everybody here. Yeah, part of me
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: was wondering whether or not they were like, this is
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: just a show, Like this is all just for show.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: She's in it because it's a show, and he's in
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: it a show. And I don't even know why they're
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: saying these like love things, like they probably think of
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: the show completely unromantically. Definitely, Yeah, they think it's just
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: a show. And it's unfair a little bit to any
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: family that gets involved in this thing because they didn't
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: sign up for it. They're not prepared for all of
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: a sudden, you know, fifty people show up to your house.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: They start moving furniture around, they start putting in cameras.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: You know, all this stuff is going on. You're sitting
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: in your living room talking about, you know, your son
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: in a way that you've never talked about him before,
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, everybody shows up and
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: and the fun begin ends. It's unfair to every family
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: that ever has to do it. Some do it better
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: than others, some like it more than others. But at
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: the end of the day. It's not fair to any family.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: It's just not It's not an enjoyable experience, and this
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: family was definitely the ones that had the most writing
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: on it. They had a lot, a lot to process
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: in a very short period of time. I think it's
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: very unfair for any viewer to criticize Jed's family, or
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: really any family during this experience because it's hard to process.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: You can't process it, especially if you have a son
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: who's making it harder on you to process. Like for me,
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: when I sat down my parents, I gave him a rundown.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: I said, Hey, this is how I need you to
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: act right now, Like I need you to be welcoming, graceful.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: When you're confused, know that it will be sorted out
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: or asked me. But don't over analyze any of this stuff.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: Just make sure that you're getting to know these women
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: the best way possible. Jed sat down and was like,
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: I'm all in love with girl, this girl. They're like,
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: you just told us that a month and a half
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: ago with Lindsay, Like what happened? Do you think that
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: that's why? They were like it's a musicians lifestyle, like
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: they kept talking about like he's a musician, he's not
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: ready to settle down. Do we think that it's just
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: because like he likes to just hang out with a
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: lot of girls, or do we think that they actually
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: want they actually think that he can't focus on his
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: career with the relationship. Time out is jed making money? Well,
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: we know what the People articles said. They said that
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: the dad was paying for part of his rent every month.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: They also said that he had a zillion side hustles,
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: which means that he's probably like, well, we actually know
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: that he performs sort of like not a strip club
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: in like in Nashville, but like a shirtless club. Yeah,
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: so like we can't say this is a musician's lifestyle, Like,
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: well it's not. Let's not group him in with musicians
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: that we think, I I know some really good musicians.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: It's a struggling musicians lifestyle. Struggling and struggling musicians lifestyle.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: He's not ready for to settle down because of his career.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: Fair well, I mean, let's lay it on the table.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: He doesn't make money being a musician. The People article
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: says that his dad's paying for his rent. Uh. He
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: he doesn't have a consistent album out like as a result,
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: we we could we could definitely point to you're not
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: probably ready to settle down in a committed relationship. I
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: think that's great. But do you think it's weird? Do
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: you think it's weird that, like, um, they made it
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: seem like they were putting his music career before him
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: finding love. Uh No, I mean because it's what he's
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: pointed to, wanting Tom want what he wants. Like they're
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: going off of what they knew about Jed when he
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: left for the show. When he left for the show,
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: his main concern with his career, um, And so they're
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: trying to get behind and support that. So I don't
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: think it's I don't think it's a family's place to
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: prioritize the kids. Uh you know, desires or there once,
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: but it is their their place to hopefully support those.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: And so they're just saying, Jed, when you left, you
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: said you want to be a musician, and you left,
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: you said this is gonna be good for your career. Hey, Jed,
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: That's what we got behind and supported because when you're
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: questioning your motives and saying, hey, is this a good idea?
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: You have a girlfriend and you said, hey, it's just
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: for my career. That's what we got behind and supported,
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: and now you're saying you're in love. I don't get it.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: I just had a thought perhaps this was the family's way,
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: because remember how Jed said that he was going to
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: go on and then like he would make it too
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: hopefully five or four, and then he'd have a great
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: platform for having a career. But he didn't intend to
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: go all the way. Yea, So maybe this was the
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: family's way of trying to get him out of the
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: relationship and being like, Okay, he's made it far enough,
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: now let's back out. That was the plan that he
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: was going to back out. There's so much here, Ashley,
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: I don't disagree with you. There's so much here from
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: these hometowns that we can take away. For the first
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: time in a few seasons, I feel like the hometowns
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: are really pointing to what the next few episodes could
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: look like in wood Luck, Like, one interesting email we
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: got from a listener to Laney says, promos that are
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: ruining this season. I want to talk about the social
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: media promos. I'm starting to feel like when Hannah and
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: Chris Harrison promote the episodes, they basically tell us where
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: they're going, who's going? The dates, and where the dates
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: are are? The only things left out seemed to be
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: who was sent home? I know they want to promote
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: the show, but does anyone else miss the days where
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: everything was a surprise and we didn't even know what
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: the country they're going to. Maybe they're trying to keep
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: up with reality, Steve, I do think that's a possibility.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: I also think, um that, pointing back to our final
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: conversation about Jed, is there so much going to happen
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: this season that they haven't really ruined anything? Okay? I
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: really believe that. Um, actually I believe you if you
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: that's what you say. Final thoughts. We broke down each
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: each hometown. Uh, Peters was pretty normal, really good, really healthy.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: Tyler's was emotional, We got to know him better, We
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: enjoyed it. It left well. Luke's was still a little confusing.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: It was his best week by far. He was more
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: likable than he wasn't. But there's still things that we
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: don't know about Luke that we will get to know
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: very soon. And I'm sure, I'm sure we'll get to
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: know a lot about Luke's own personal feelings and values
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: in the next following weeks, and finally, Jed is just one.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: It's hard for us to process. I mean, how are
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: we going to process a guy that we know how
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: to girlfriend leading up to the show. How are we
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: gonna even at any level enjoy any sweet nothings? He
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: says or sings to Hannah and his family. Let's take
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: let's give him a break, Like I totally get it.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: Let's let's not put them, uh responsible for the terrible
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: decisions that Jed has made leading up to this experience, Ashley,
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: after this week, Uh, can you rank these four guys
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: and then tell us who your favorite for next Bachelor is?
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: Tyler Peter? I don't know that's right. Everybody stayed because
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: she was like Tyler Peter. Yeah, I don't know. Well,
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: let's talk about that that rose ceremony really quickly. How
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: did you feel about her? Um, just deciding to take
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: everyone to Fantasy Sweets. I thought it was a great idea.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: I think that Fantasy Sweet Sweeks is usually the week
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: that you learned the most about somebody. Alone time is
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: really critical, as we've talked about before on this podcast
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: many times. And Um, I feel like if she really
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: is so torn, I feel like they should never have
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: to eliminate somebody. If, like she said, she didn't feel
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: like the relationship would have been complete, she would have
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: been left wondering what if. And I think that what
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: we should do in life is eliminated as many what
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: ifs as possible. Yeah, I agree, and I think it's fair.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: I'm not mad at her at all for keeping people around.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: I think it's it's gets it. There's too much confusion still, uh,
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: Jed's hometown date was so confused to her that she
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: was like, wait, I love this guy. Like this guy.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: I was falling in love with him, and now I'm confused.
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: Luke's was like, I kind of liked him more after
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: going to his hometown, and yet this guy has been
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: a puzzle piece the whole time that I just can't crack.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: And the other two or like, of course they're gonna
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: be around. I like them both, So no, I think
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: it's fair keep him around. It just makes it more fun. Uh.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: In the following weeks of Fantasy speaking, but what about
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: the inner the moment that we saw Jed react to
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: the fact that he was so torn that she was
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: so torn in that moment, like he didn't respond very well.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: He was like, oh, she's she's putting me and Luke
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: on the same ranking. Right now, it makes sense to me.
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: I mean I see it from an outsider's perspective. I
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: don't know how he was feeling internally, but I'm looking
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: at as as a viewer, going, yeah, they're definitely on
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: the same ranking. We're both just confused by him, like
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: we just don't even know anymore. So but that I
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: don't find him getting upset. Do you think that. I
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: feel like, honestly, they that was a move because they
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: knew that Jed would be the most sensitive about that.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: I don't think the family turned hand off that much.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: I think they knew that Tyler and Pete kind of
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: they've been so even killed, calm and coolheaded the entire time.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: If they were going to get a reaction from someone,
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: it would have been Jed against U. Yeah. Like, I
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: feel like, truly Jed belongs with the other three, and
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: like the only the one that would have been eliminated
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: in that moment would have been Luke. I don't think
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: they're in the same category in Hannah's head. The good
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: part is now for next week that none of them
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: will interact and so we'll see all three of them,
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: four of them separately. Uh, Jed just got has to
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: get over himself and move on. And I think fantasy
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: suitets will be telling to see where their relationships stand.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know at this point. As I said, I'm
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: kind of like Jed's family. I feel like I'm just
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: confused at what's happening, Like how has he gone this far?
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: Keeping playing music the whole time, and at the same
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: time of all of it, he has a girl back home.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know how to process this. And then with Luke,
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: Luke has been a mystery of the whole season. We
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: were talking four weeks ago about why he's still around. Yeah,
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: he's still around. And now we're finally saying we're at
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: some time point saying it kind of makes sense like
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: she's still interested and intrigued. The next few weeks. Actually,
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: I'm pumped for Uh, we're gonna continue breaking down. We're
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: not thinking any more weeks off until this whole thing
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: is done. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if we
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: pump out, you know, two episodes at some point, just
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: because it's so much fun to talk. I think we
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: do have two episodes coming up, I think an extra bonus.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: That's right, as ash Um, you're the best. What a
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: great week for Bachelor Nation, What a great week for hometowns? Uh?
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: In your opinion? Uh, who's the next Bachelor? I mean
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: I would hope that who I want to be the
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: next bachelor Hannah ends up with, which would be Tyler, Okay,
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: but I also like he's my choice for bachelor, and
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: he's my choice for Hannah. I think Tyler is probably
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: most people's choice for the next Bachelor, but I also
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: think he might be with Hannah. But um, I feel
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: like the an ideal world would probably be Hannah ends
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: up with Tyler and then Peter becomes the bachelor. Ashley,
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: I hope that for the rest of your life you
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: can live in your own ideal world. That's what I hope.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: That's what I hope for all of our listeners. Hey,
