• 1:14
  Speaker 1: as I was hanging out last night, I was exploring
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: on my Instagram and I saw something that I wanted
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: to ask you a question about, but I had to
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: wait till this podcast because why would we talk about
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: anything uh in life if it wasn't on the podcast.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: You're getting married and part of getting married is exploring
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the avenues at which uh the things you want to
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: where during this wedding. And it looks like your wedding shopping.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Did you pick a dress? What were you doing? Tell
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: everybody about it? Okay, So right after I got engaged,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I got an email from the people at say yes
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: to the dress or not say yes to the dress,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: you know, more like Kleinfeld, which is where say Yes
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: to the Dress tapes. Um, it's always been a dream
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: of mine to go dress shopping there. So that was one,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: you know, well as it checked off the bucket list,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: and I got to bring my grandma. She's years old.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: She barely leaves the house. She leaves the house well
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: once a week to get her hair done, but like not,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: she doesn't go into the city like a big to
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: do like that. I don't know the last time she
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: did it, like five years ago probably, So she came
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: into the city. My aunt and my cousin came, my
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: best friend, and of course my sister and my mom,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: and I've tried on some beautiful dresses. I'm not sure
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: if I'm going to say yes to one of them.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: It was only my first stop on the dress tour,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: but I found two I really really liked. Tell us
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: about him, I mean, smartly, do they have arms? Do
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: they have those? You know what I'm really into, Ashley,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: What do they have arms? And sleeves? The big old
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: puffy things that come off the wedding dresses. If there's
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: one time in life you can wear a puffy thing
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: without getting judged for it, it's your wedding day. So
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I hope your wedding dress is full of really puffy things. Okay,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: so that's what I'm going for. I'm going for a
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: princess ball down. I don't think that's much of a
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: surprise to anybody who kind of knows me, or at
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: least knows of me from the show. Um I I
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I don't remember what I was gonna say. Oh yes, okay,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: So I don't want bling. I don't want them sparkly
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: like that. No, like, no bedazzling. I want it either
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: lace or satin and I'm kind of going towards lace now.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I tried on some satin ones and I was like,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: not so much, even though that's what I always imagine
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: myself in Did you cry? I didn't, and I felt
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: so wrong about it. My sister didn't cry, my mom
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: didn't cry. None of us cried. And maybe it was
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: because I didn't find the one. Maybe that's a that's
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: a sign that the two dresses that I really liked
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: aren't the one. But you know, maybe it's just a
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: happy shut up. Maybe I'm just like not, I'm just happy.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: If i'm happy, I'm not going to cry. It's not
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: like highly emotional like getting engaged, you are getting married.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I just picture you, like every step the way crying,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Like you pick out the cake, you cry, you pick
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: up the budding dress, you cry like that? Are you
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: that emotional? Like in real life? Are you a very
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: emotional person? Oh? Yeah, obviously, No, that wasn't very obvious.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I was asking, come on, ben time. Yeah, but it's
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: emotional about heartbreak and love and like heartbreak is a
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: factor in your life anymore. Okay, okay, okay, So do
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I cry? I'm not heartbroken. I cried a lot of
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: times in like April and May, just talking about Jared.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: You know, when you were here and I was talking
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: to you about him, I was crying. Well that's weird, though,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: isn't it to think that heartbreak is no longer an
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: option or a thing in your life? Yeah, it's so
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: so nice have we have? We talked about how Ben
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: when we came to see you at the golf tournament,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: that I was stuck with these two love love birds
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: I know, or Amy, like yeah, because Ben got to golf. Yeah,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: and then Amy was definitely the third wheel and she
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: doesn't she Nobody knows how affectionate we are unless they're
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: like with us for the weekend bar fee, but it's
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: like just below that. And at one point they made
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: me drive and they sat in the back. Well yeah, yeah,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: why could we do that? They were doing an interview.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we were doing on phone interview. That's why
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I think it's a little barfie. Anyway, I had a
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I had a fantastic weekend, guys, and I just wanted
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: to just give a little shout out to Kleinfeld for
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: being so welcoming for me and being a dream come true.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: And then um, I was able to go to Waitress
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: on Broadway, which was amazing. Kathy McPhee is in the lead. Now,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: if you you've ever seen the movie Waitress Russell, Yeah,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Carrie Russell. Kathy McFee is playing Carrie Russell's role and
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: she's so good. And then I got to see my
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: favorite American idol was this American Idol Weekend and that
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: just makes little actually so happy. David Cooke and Kinky
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Boots and that was amazing too. What did you do? Ben? Uh?
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: You know, like I said, I went to the XBO,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I worked the expo, and then Sunday I got my
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: my bike fixed. I cruised around downtown Denver. Uh, you know,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: with my shades on, my hat pulled back. I'm starting.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: My goal for next year is to complete an Olympic trayathlon.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: So I'm starting slowly like an iron man. Is that
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: an iron man? It's close. It's like a three fourths
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: of an iron Man. So I'm starting to diet, I'm
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: starting to ride, get my cardio in shape. I just,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't know how much longer in life
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: I'll be able to do these things successfully. So I
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: feel like if I want to cross him off my
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: bucket list. I need to do it now. Do you
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: think you'll have apps by the time we go to
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Vegas for the radio music? I'll never have apps. What
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: would you do with the apps if you had them?
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I would never wear a shirt? Okay, before we get Jason,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: you know who's sitting there to me right now on
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: the mic, I want you to ask me a couple
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: of crazy things that you think I would never do,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: and then I'll compare it to whether I would ever
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: do an iron Man? Ashley? Would you be more likely
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: to do an iron Man or eat a spider? Willingly?
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Definitely eat a spider? Apps? Freaking lutely. I don't even
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: know if even if it was alive. Better. Can you swim? Yeah? Sure,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I can swim like laps like no. I mean, you know,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I passed the test when I was in second grade,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: so I can jump off the diving board, Ashley. Would
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: you be more likely to complete or participate in an
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Iron Man? Or look at toad? Lick at toad? I'd
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: probably do that for a hundred dollars. Yeah. I used
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: to actually joke that I would kiss a frog. What
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: would happen? Now? I don't have to interesting Okay, here's more,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: one more, one more. Um, Actually, would you be more
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: likely to complete an iron man or spend a week
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: in the mountains alone? That's scary but definitely more feasible.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Are you serious? Yes? I remember having to run two
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: and a half miles in high school and so yeah,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: we did talk about this and it was the part
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: of my week every week. Oh, actually, this is why
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: we love you. Um okay, Actually, I got a few
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: questions here before Jason comes in that we gotta cover. Um.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I've been getting a lot of emails there. People are
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: excited about your wedding. At the expo this week, people
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: are coming up to me talking about how much they
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: love the almost famous podcast. I feel like that happens
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: more and more here over the last couple of like months.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Is anywhere I go, people go, we listen to your podcast.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: So everybody out there that came up to me at expo,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: thanks for listening. Anybody out there listening, thanks for listening.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: But anyways, people are excited, uh about your wedding. Obviously,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: to prep for your wedding, I hope that you keep
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: us all in form. There's a lot of things I
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: need to learn about the wedding process. Uh, just in
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: case one day one comes my way. I need to
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: know what my wife is going to be going through. Actually,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: are you you know a lot of one of the
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: questions what is your diet leading up to the wedding?
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Or do you are you gonna have one? Okay? Well,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: every week I go, okay, that was my last meal.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: That was the last crappy meal. I can't leave you
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: like that again, and then I continue on a whole
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: other week of crappy eating. I wrote in my calendar
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: today today is the first day of my new work out,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: and I just like crushed breath. Yeah. No, I woke
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: up this morning, I drank a lot of water, and
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: my stomach is really flat, and I'm feeling right now
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: like I could start today. And then there were some
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: free Jersey Mic subs outside, and I thought, all right,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: I'll take that free food. I can't say free. I
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: can't say no to free food. That is going to
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: be my ultimate issue in this wedding hiding. I only
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: want to lose like seven pounds within a year. Fair enough? Actually, okay,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: will you have somebody planning your wedding? Yes, I plan
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: on meeting with the wedding plinner sometime this week or
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: my presumed wedding planner. And the final question that I
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: got asked is have you picked a location or a date.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: We think it's going to be July or August of
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: next you know, we hear from now and then it'll
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: probably be in Rhode Island. I think we're probably going
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: to look at venues the week after next. Will Ben
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: be invited? Ben is definitely invited, and so are you, Amy.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: I hear the easiest invite on the planet, because I
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: can't attend. Wait, this is such a good question. So Ben, Um,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: I did a little preview of our guest list, because
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: we came up with it at dinner like a week
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: or so ago, and I put it on Instagram story
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: and somebody, you know, the crazy fans, they noticed that
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: you didn't have a plus one next your name. Um,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: do you think that? Of course, if you get in
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: a serious relationship between now and next summer, of course
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: you have a plus one. What do you think the
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: standard sure for adding a plus one should be to somebody?
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: I say, a serious relationship, like a serious relationship six
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: months or more, where like you've met the other person
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: and they are like, yeah, if you've met the if
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: you've met the other person significant other, yea. I have
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: a different thought on that. I also think if you're
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: so tight with the person that you can go like, hey,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: you can totally bring someone or not. Oh you know
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: what I mean, Like, if you're so tight with them,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: let them do what they want. Because sometimes I'm like
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: I would never if somebody came up to me, and
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: like if Ben were to come up to me, I
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: would never be like, oh, Ben, you can't have a
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: plus one? Are you kidding me? No way? You know
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: who my plus one is all the time. Chris Harrison,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Oh that's cool, that's really nice. Um. Amy can't come
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: to the wedding. Amy can't come to the wedding because
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: she hasn't been on a plane since no joke, Okay,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: I can't get there. Then we'll be flying better. Are
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: you hurt? I mean, you're you get a plus one
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: if you get in a relationship so bitter. We can
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: see She's like, you have no faith that i'll have
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: someone by that. I have faith. I know I'll be
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: adding a plus sol I'm next year. Can you snap
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: a picture of that? Wait, Mark, can you stop a
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: picture of that? So we can put that on Instagram.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: He's so bitter. No, no, no, no, not bitter. I'm
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: just I'm just processing, like where my like where my
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: life has taken me. But Ben, you know that if
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: you get in a relationship, you'll be bringing a girl. Yeah. Yeah.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: The plus one thing is interesting. I went to a
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: wedding a few weeks ago for my good friend back
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: in or Sandiana. She was one of my camp counselor. Okay,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: so listen to this real quick, and I'll be quick
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: here because this is probably born to everybody else back
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: in the day, I was a church camp counselor. One
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: of my campers who was in sixth grade while I
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: was the coump counselor. My friend from year of college
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: just got married. So I went to the wedding. Um,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: very happy for a great guy, great girl. Awesome. I
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: don't have a plus one. I was worried that I
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: was showing up to the wedding and I don't I
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: didn't know who to sit by. So that was the
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: only hard part without a plus one. As you walk
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: into a wedding that even though you know a lot
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: of people there, it's awkward because you kind of walk in,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: you look around, you say, is this seat taken? Somebody
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: says yeah, that for my wife, and then he goes
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: that seat taken, they say yeah for my girlfriend. It's
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: just a weird process. So I hope I don't have
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: to fall into that actually's wedding because it's gonna be
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: really bad when I walk in and I'm like, hey,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Caitlin and Sean, can I sit by you? And they're like, sorry,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: this is saved for Nick didn't get a plus one,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Cupcake didn't get a plus one. We just saw all
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: you guys would brow out together. That's right, Hey, we'll
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: grow out together. Speaking of bros, it's plenty of time. Yeah,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: plenty of time. Hey, speaking of bros, we have one
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: of our most I think this will be one of
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: our highest listen to podcast. I think it's gonna be
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: one of our best podcast. We have the up Jason
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: tart tig Uh in studio to help us co host this.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: We're gonna go over the Mentel all that. I have
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: some very poignant thoughts on not a huge fan of
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: even some my buddies that were at Mentel was a
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: little too aggressive. I think was way too aggressive. Um,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: I think it just seemed, uh, we'll talk about it.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: But I in short, I thought watching it back, it
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: felt like Colton had a lot to say when he
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: didn't need to say it. He really could have just
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: been quiet the entire time and been and talked when
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: there was an issue that was pertaining just to him.
• 14:40

  Speaker 1: mud I got everything. I have a Jewish mother, a
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Catholic father, a loving gay brother and brother in law,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Modern day America, modern family, modern family, got family. People
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: loved your family. Speaking of family, Jason h our listeners,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: the co hosts here, all of us have recently watched
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: this season's Men Tell All, Jason, I have a lot,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of thoughts, a lot of opinions. This is
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: all coming from a place of love. Um, but if
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: if we were honest on this podcast, nobody would listen.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna be very honest during this. I'm gonna
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: start out by saying, I thought Colton was way too much. Um.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: I thought he played the big brother. It wasn't something
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: that I've ever seen from him. It wasn't the guy
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: that we had last week on the podcast Everybody Fell
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: in Love with I got more emails and actually I
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: know you. And I did more tweets and emails after
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: our interview with Colton last week saying we love Colton.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: We got to know him better, and I felt like
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: during the mental All that wasn't the guy that we interviewed.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Am I totally off here? No? No, he seemed really aggressive,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: more to offensive than he ever has been on the show,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: and it was just weird to see him get so
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: involved in some drama that he wasn't really a fundamental
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: part of. Yeah. So my opinion on this is Colton
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: is a great guy, and through and through he's always
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: been a good friend to me. I will say mentel all.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it was the truest depiction of
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: his character or what was going on, but what I
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: kept doing, I was like kept because they sat next
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: to him, I'm hitting him. I'm like enough enough enough,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: because I felt as though, you know, the booze from
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: the Cheap Sheats, cheap Seats, he was paying way too
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: much attention to and he was coming at like his
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: retorts were so aggressive in that manner. So I was
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: trying to keep him in line a little bit and
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: and check himself because some of the people that were
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: coming at him in the manner that they were coming
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: at him, um or just below I think the great
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: of man that he is, So I do agree with you.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: I think he did get a little aggressive with some
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: of his responses, but in his defense, I think specifically
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Jean Blanc, he was grotesque, crude and after him forever
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: and ever, and I would have been fine with it,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: but it was when he started getting in the Jordan's stuff. Yeah,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: I agree with that. I said something that was beated.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: I there was a lot of deep in a mental
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: something really inappropriate, John Blongs, something most inappropriate. Say you
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: have ever seen He's never been any more. That's that's cruel, task,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: that's crude, it's disgusting. And I think Colton as a
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: person is so above that, and I don't think he
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: should stoop down to that level to even acknowledge something
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: in that. But I can't I can't understand that opinion
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: for sure. I mean, okay, Jason, it's no secret you
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: and Colton right now are the guys that we know
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: when there's gonna be unless something crazy twist happens, Uh,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: there's gonna be one guy, either Blake or Garrett that
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: come into play. Here are are in the running to
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: be the next lead, to be the next Bachelor. And
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: I know that's not when any of you went into
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: this believing could happen, or what happened, or wanting to happen.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: But now it sits there in front of you, it's
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: a reality. There was nothing about that mentel all that
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: made that. Colton did not look bachelor esque during that
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: mental and I and I know him and he's a
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: good guy and he was on the podcast last week.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: But I agree with you, it felt like he stooped
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: down to the level of of of the stuff that
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: should have been eliminated, like we week seven, like Week six,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: that was that was people who were just there to argue,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: who were just there to lose their minds, And it
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: was frustrating to me as a friend. I was frustrated. Yeah,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: and I would agree with that as a friend. I
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: think I was too. And he would tell you literally,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: I'm pinching his leg, I'm whispering, stop stopping. Were better
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: than this, So um, I do agree. I think some
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: of the people got under his skin last week. And
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: in his defense, he has an opinion and he wants
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: to share it. So um, you gotta credit him for
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: speaking up and and being open and honest about where
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: he was at. But those guys were digging, and they
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: were digging hard, right, and they were hitting him in
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: soft spots. I think he's been hit before and it
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: was just his sponsor. And you've got to give someone
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: credit for defending themselves. But at the same time, I'm
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: I'm more of the than demeanor of you know what,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: some people are always gonna take shots, and they're probably
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: gonna take shots because they want to have or be
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: what you are, and you can't let that bother you. You
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: You gotta stay true to who yourself. And I think
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: he did get a little off his game, his rocker
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: and just just who he is as a person. John
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Blanc was the first. It was the first one, the
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: first thing said in the five minutes that you guys started,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: and I think that got him fired up and he
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: was like, oh, I'm rolling now, but bad. I don't know.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: Were you ever like a w W F for w
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: C w c W fan like wrestling. You you know
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: royal rumbles, you remember them? You remember those? Okay, So
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: I was an only child. I used to take my
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Hawk co game stuff. I think jump off my couch,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: hit him down, and beat the living thing. But in
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Royal Rumbles, the boys get in the ring and they
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: kind of feel each other out and then they pick
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: who they're going to go after. It was the opposite.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: I mean we sat down, mits were flying off, punches
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: and upper cuts were being given. It got aggressive and
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: I got aggressive quick. Do you guys agree? And watching it,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: you know, when I was there watching it over the
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: course of four hours, I was like, you know what,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: it's actually kind of tame. But when you edit it
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: into the final product and you add every little element
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: of drama, it was like, wow, this is this is
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: fist It was feisty. It was supposed to be kissing
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: and telling. I think it was a lot more telling
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: than kissing. Hey, Mayson, you you know these guys better
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: than any of us. You lived with them, you dealt
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: with them. Uh what we saw during the mentel I mean,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: even with Colton, is this who they are? I mean
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: this Colton? Is he a bear that gets poked easily?
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: And why My question with this is because I was
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: watching this, I know quote I like Colton. Why was
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: he such an easy target for so many Outside of
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: the fact that Okay, maybe they were jealous. I mean,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: they would have every right to be jealous of you.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Why Colton, I think because you know, Coulton and uh,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Colton and Jordan's kind of did go at it a
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: little bit, right, So I think they had unsettled business.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: And I think, as you guys know, you go through
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: the show and you think one thing, and then you
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: start to see what happens in the I t m
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: s the interviews and you start to see what people
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: are saying behind your back, and I think it sparks
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: a fury for more people, and it's pent up because
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: we haven't seen these guys in that long. So I
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: think a lot of people have a lot on their
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: mind after watching it back, uh, and it was time
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: to share that. Obviously, Colton had taken a lot from
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: those episodes and he was going to bring the heat,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: and he brought the heat. Coulton and Jordan actually saw
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: each other for some time in Paradise, but they really
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: but you know, they probably hadn't seen the episode. They
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: didn't see the episodes until now for sure. And I mean,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: let's say Jordan's is Jordan's. He's through and through, He's
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: the same guy. Here that will be on camera. But
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Jordan likes the attention. He likes to get under people's skin,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: and I think he probably had a mission that night
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: to do so. And honestly, I think his goals accomplished.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Art is one step from really screwing himself because he's
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: gonna slip soon and say something that isn't funny or
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: or modelly or you know, like he was pushing it
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: with the making fun of the other guy's outfits. I
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: really did not like that. Yeah, so Jordan is like
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: the biggest narcissist out there, right, But when you get
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: past that, to your point there, he is a little witty.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: He does have some funny comments and you can be smart.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: He's gotta be because he's quick unless he just sits
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: at home and like reverses these lines because the one
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: he drops line after line. But that being said, I
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: do agree with you. I think he's really pushing the
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: edge and once he crosses that line, he's gonna lose
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: a lot of people that support the funniness associated with him.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: You know. One of the funniest things to me during
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: this whole season and especially mental all, we had him
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: here on the podcast and he was great. But is when,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: first off, I would never pick a fight with Jordan's personally,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: I can't. I couldn't handle it. You would see me
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: curl up in the fetal position, be like you want
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: right away? Is all you have to do is dig
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: one shot at me, and I would be I couldn't
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: handle it. But it's when David tries to argue with
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Jordan's and it's it is so humorous because board David is.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: It is actually you can tell he's a nice guy.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: He like, for some reason, has this persona that he
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: wants to be mean or he wants to like go
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: head to head with Jordan's. But I don't think I
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: remember one time there in this season Jason tell us
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: from Wrong or one time during Mentel Law that David
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: even came close to win an argument with Jordan. And
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: that battle, I think David was defeated every single time
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: by Jordan's. And the funny thing was he kept going
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: at him. That was it was my observation. Jordan actually
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: was never I didn't think attacking David. Jordan was responding
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: to all the punches he was getting, and when he
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: was responding, he was responding with fury and taking down
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: nine out of ten of the people and doing so.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: We told him his mate his massive mistake was just
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: taking Jordan's so seriously for sure, and I think he
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: was way more focused on Jordan's than what he was
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: there to do was to build a relationship with BA guys.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: So I had a I had a funny interview with
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: some hockey guys from Buffalo today and they said, if
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: there was one guy I could throw the MITS off
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: and take the thread and put it over his head,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: I think it would have been David. David Um. I
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: do think that during Mental All, or at least getting
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: to see like the whole four hours, he almost did
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: what he was almost like this is silly. Now I'm
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: going to back off, because I think Jordan's was like
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep playing with him, and he was like, dude,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: it's a guy. I'm gonna chalk my losses off. And sure.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: The Mental All is always one of the funniest events
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: to me when I was a party, because I was
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: at the Mental All during Caitlyn season. I love the
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: back row guys that get so heated, like you know
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: the first day or is They're like, yeah, you know
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: you were this guy, and you were this guy, and
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: you're like, you literally had three hours of interaction for
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: this show. You watched the show like a fan. You
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: had no clue what happened the whole Your mental all
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: was one of the most outrageous to me because it
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: felt like you had a lot of guys trying to
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: get their last words in. Absolutely, I think there's a
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: ton of guys and it's interesting are the makeup of
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: our group, Like you got some of these guys who
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: are models. You have some people that called themselves social
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: media influencers before the show, but they weren't. Half the time,
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: You're trying to have a conversation of what their career is,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: and it just you can't really understand what it is,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: right And it was interesting to see a lot of
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: those guys left early. And I gotta give credit to
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: Becca because I think she saw through that and kind
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: of who they were and what their intentions were. But
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: to your point, those same guys who went home early
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: for probably that persona were the same guys that were
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: bringing the same heat at mentel all and I think
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: some of them are trying to do trying to get
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: attention for that. You know, Christian and Jordan or whatever.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: The model walk off or whatever the heck. He's like
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: a New York model versus a Miami model. The funny
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: thing I keep hearing everyone's like, what kills me all
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: season is your looks. And I've said back, I'm like,
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: this is the most petty, ridiculous off I've ever seen.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: I've seen it for two months now. So I sit back,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: continue to drink my drink and give those looks. What's
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: where is that? I understand girls making a big show
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: out of women tell all because it's kind of their
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: audition for Bachelor in Paradise. But with you, guys, you
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: either we're on paradise or you're off. It's no audition anymore,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: right there. So I don't understand what it is. But
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: there are a lot of guys are they're seeking that
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: attention and they were going all out for it. So
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: and it's what it is, you know, to be expected.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: That's what I would say. I will say this, Jason,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: this is credit to you. It's credit to Colton, Uh,
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: to Garrett, um and and Blake. I've actually been on
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: to me all four of you. Now. Garrett came to
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: the American Century Championship and jumped out off the beach
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: and goes Ben you know me, and I said, I
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: have no clue you are, And they took all the
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: sung Oh you're that guy from the show. Yeah, talking
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: about you every league. Um, she picked four really good generally,
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: I think, uh, good prospects for a husband. I you
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: all have a lot of depth and a lot of character,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: and so you know, maybe this, maybe this is what
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: makes such a great Bachelor of Bachelor of season is
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: when you have a good mix of everybody, and you
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: definitely did. We saw it during the mentel all the
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: interesting thing Jason, um that I appreciate about you and
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: I have to start out and say this first, and
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: actually I've talked about all the time. She has to
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: hear me, Ramp. You don't describe yourself, Banner. You are
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: very self aware. You process through your mistakes and thoughts,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: and you don't promote yourself out of any type of
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: insecurity or even out of confidence. When your season. I'm
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: telling you, man, this drove me absolutely crazy. I had
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: I didn't watch one episode. I forget what it was
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: because I was so frustrated. And David. I've told David this.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: He sat down right next to me in student, I said, David,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: I'd never want you to describe yourself again, and he
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: did it during mentor you can't help yourself, honest guy,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: you got an advice from the godfi. I'm an honest,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: humble guy and I'm like David enough anymore. Yeah, but hey,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: you don't do it. You're one of the only ones. Um,
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: So thank you for making my time watching this show
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: bearable by just knowing every time Jason was on, I
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: wasn't going to punch my pillow. I appreciate that. I
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: appreciate I think there's that old adage. It's like, you know,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: life is about ten percent what happens, how you react,
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: and if you don't take that into this scenario, you're
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: gonna fall on your face. And a lot of the
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: guys did and it was tough to see because there
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: are a lot of good people that in that show
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: that just couldn't handle the ups and downs, and to
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: your point, their self defense was just pumping their tires
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: for no reason. So thank you for noticing that. I
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: appreciate it. Speaking of the ups and downs, and some
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: people are able to handle it and some aren't. I
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: have something to ask about Blake. Sure, I'm going to
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: do it after I ask how did you get your
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: skin so clear and beautiful? Thing? Alright? Well, as you
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: may or may not know, my dad and I are
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: very close by my mom's boy. I talked to my
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: mom every single day. I love in her door, and
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: every time I go back to visit her, she's always
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: doing something with her face and she's trying some type
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: of cream. So I'll be the first one to admit,
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna self deprecate myself. I use all those like
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: face lotions and stuff. I give it a shot. What
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: the hell, Ben, If you need any recommendations, let me know.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: I'll give you one. I'll give you a good recommendation,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: actually take it away. Um. We use Bioclarity. We love
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: it because I have really sensitive skin. It'll turn red
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: with any product, but Bioclarity is like the one product
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: that doesn't make me red and irritated. So we have
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: been highly recommending bio Clarity to our audience for a
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: well over a year now. It has great botanical ingredients.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: They use floor lex, which is derived from the chlorophyll
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: in plants, and it really helps with the redness and
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: hyper pigmentation. And they also have this thing called a
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: skin Smoothie, and it's a moisturizer that makes your skin
• 33:00

  Speaker 1: It's just between us, but you get a discount. Appreciate.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: Let's go back to that Blake question. If he doesn't
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: win this thing and he becomes the next Bachelor, will
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: he lose it as the bachelor? Because the guy has
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: a lot of anxiety. So it's interesting about Blake is
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: early on he was very composed, uh, and he was
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: pretty diplomatic, and he's smart, and he was leading the pack.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: And something happened in Bahamas with Blake, and I'm not
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: sure what it was, but he had already had a
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: one on one and he had been pressing hard at
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: the fact that he thought he should have had another
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: one on one. And for a guy like me, he
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: didn't get a one on one until week six, and
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: he didn't have a week two, and she forgot my
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: name week three. You know, was still falling in love
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: with her. I'm like, what, so, I think you know,
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: in in life and in relationships, battling adversity is huge, right,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: And it's a huge competency of getting over different humps
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: and building a stronger relationship with your significant other. And
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: I do think in the Bahamas and hometowns, and I
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: think you saw in Thailand, Um, he got more worried
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: about the other people involved as opposed Tobecca. Uh. That's
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: just an observation from looking back. So UM, I will say,
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that was the state of his
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: feelings the way they progressed earlier. I'll give him credit there, Um,
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: but it does seem that as time passed, Uh, it
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: definitely got more difficult with him, and I think a
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: correlation to that was a little exposure to his nervousness
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: and in dealing with the situation. So who makes a
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: better bachelor, Blake Garrett or Jason? Jason? Actually? Actually so,
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: I actually love all those guys. And I think including
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: what I'm skidding you already said, it doesn't I don't
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: pump my own tires. Um. I think they're all great guys.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: It depends. My answer would be, it depends what they
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: wanted out of a bachelor. UM. So I think you
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: would get different things out of each of those people. UM.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: The one thing I will say that is in common
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: with all three of them is I can say, from
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: the bottom of my heart, all of us are looking
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: for that someone. All of us are in that stage
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: of our life that we are looking for love. UM.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: And I think that's as genuine and authentic as it
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: will get. So I think regardless of um who pursues it,
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: who's interested, and who has decided on UM, I think
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: they will find love. I think they will find take
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: this very seriously, and UM, the ending of that journey
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: will be a positive one. So that that amazing Jason,
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: great job there. You didn't answer my question in order Oh,
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: he's taking he's taking tips from the godfather that I
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: called you after like day one, I was out, what
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: do you think? Not answering to ask you a question,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: I said that we would all do a good job,
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: but we would bring different things to the table. What
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: would you want to see out of the next bachelor
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: and that would help me identify who could do that best. Yeah,
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know how now I'm answering a question after
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: you didn't answer mine, but I'm going to do it
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: because we're not gonna go back. And this is incredible.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: You're doing great, You're great, So I think I think
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: you're right. You said something which makes me think that
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: you would be the best. Because a great bachelor bachelorette,
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: I've always said, isn't you know necessarily who they are
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: as a person? Which you want somebody that is looking
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: for something that's that's a necessity. It's how they react.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: And we need the next lead to be somebody that
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: reacts um in a way that is loving and caring,
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: one that is likable. This is that's my big thing.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: We need a likable bachelor and I think all three
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: of you have that, and I think all three of
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: you respect people enough to react to situations in a
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: respectable way. So, um, the next Bachelor, if if I
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: were to say, what's the differentiator out of all of
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: those things, um, we need a really really likable person.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: And what I mean likable? We need a humble, authentic,
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: genuine person who's willing to admit that they're not going
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: to do this perfectly so that America and the people
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: following can relate and love and feel like they could
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: live vicariously through their next Bachelor. And so Jason, I think,
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know Blake, I met Garrett, I know you. Um,
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: I think all three of you have that characteristic, but
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: I think you've just said it today is you have
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: an ability to admit your wrongs and to know that
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: you you're great, but you aren't that great. And um,
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: so I think that's that's the characteristic we need next
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: next season. Actually, do you disagree? No? That was so
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: beautifully worded, Ben, That's why that's those are very kind
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: words and coming from both you guys, that means a lot.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: So I appreciate that. Thank you, So don't mess it up.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: I'm doing what I can. You know, I hosted that
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: Instagram last week. I wanted to start a petition. I
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: would I would love to. I would love to see
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: how it work out if the Bachelor did a nationwide
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: pole not nationwide, you know, Bachelor nationwide, or it's it's
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: like you go to ABC dot com and you'd vote
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: for your next Bachelor. I think that would be a
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: great idea that would win. By the way, when you
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: posted that, I instantly blushed, saying I appreciate that. It's
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: just disgusting. Um, hey, you know we could do, Ashley,
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: what we can do it right here on the Almost
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: series thought, oh, hey, Ashley, let's set it up on
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: our instagrams and Twitter. Let's take a poll because we
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: can do that voting thing, right, who would you rather
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: see as the next batch? Let's do our own little
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: almost famous bracket. Put it up after the show. How
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: does that sound? I don't know if we should do
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: after the show. Shouldn't we do it after next week
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: when we know who the runner up is. It's a
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: good point. Yeah, we could do like a four four
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: person bracket after next thing. Okay, next week we'll put
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: it up. That's fair enough. Hey, Jason, I wanna do
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: something fun here. Um, it's gonna be a blast. I'm
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: always just ask Ashley. Last week I tried to play
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: a game with her and she wasn't a fan of it.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: So I love games too. I'm gonna be Mike Flice
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: for a second. Ashley is going to be the executive producers. Okay,
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: you have you, Bennett Taylor. You have one minute to
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: sell us on why you should be the next Bachelor. Okay, oh,
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: poor guys, all right, let's do it. You're ready. I'm
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: gonna start the clock. You have one minute. You're gonna
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: tell me you're gonna whack me up. Actually I got
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: a clock here too, so we'll be on the same page,
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: all right, go alright. So my whole twenties weren't dedicated
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: to my career. I relocated four times with a bank
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: and had seven promotions in eight years. And I earned
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: my MBA and accounting and finance while working, so I
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: used the cash flow from my day job to pay
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: for that to ensure there was no debt associated with that.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: So I've taken a lot of things seriously. I took
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: my athletics seriously in college. I took leadership as a
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: captain on my team seriously. And I've taken my work
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: seriously for twenties. And I'm now twenty nine years old,
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: and I'm at the point in my life where I
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: am looking for a best friend. I'm looking for a
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: part her. I'm looking for a wonderful mother of my kids, grandmother,
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: great grandmother, and hell great great great grandmother. And I've
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: never been in a better position to find that, whether
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: it's on the show as a bachelor or it's in
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: a different capacity. That's what I'm looking for, and I'm
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: in a position to do it. And uh, I'm single,
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: and let's go. Let's do bing bing bing. I'm sold.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: I am. I'll now so I'll be your date to
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: Ashley's wing. How about that that dance floor. You lost
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: me after the first fifteen seconds because I was like,
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: screwed the bachelor. I have to sit up this man
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: with my friends. Oh and by the way, apparently after
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: this was the first one I've ever done. But I
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: guess I could scrap book now because that thing turned
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: out pretty damn good. Holy I heard actually give a
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: little like I always love this. It's happened to me
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: twice in my life. I will remember those moments. But
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: she gave a little like you know how some girls
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: are when they're interested somebody to give a little coup
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: like she did that persons, it happened, It did. Yeah,
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: and uh it was in middle school and um, right
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: hit it was a big deal. I hit a half
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: court shot to win the conference championship. Was one of
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: the highlights of my life. And I walked off and um,
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: Alexa Souberts and my my middle school girlfriend goes oh,
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: and I said, oh jeez, so you can still pull
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: it off. I did forget one line. The one funny
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: line would be no, no, she I forgot something I

• 46:48
  Speaker 1: Everybody out there listening, Juliette Littman, Uh and I have
• 46:52

• 46:55
  Speaker 1: I have consistently Uh gone on her podcast she had
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: as as as time gone on, she's continued to get
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: promoted over at the Ringer. Juliet tell our listeners how
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: they may know you to get this thing started. I
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: host competing podcast called Party UM that covers a Bachelor
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: and also the wider world of reality TV and Um Yeah,
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: Ben and actually you've both been on it and our
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: great guest, and I'm so happy to be talking to
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: you guys. Jack. Do you think you're enough Jason on
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: the podcast? I would love to Jason, will you come on?
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: You're my pick for Bachler. Oh, that's so nice to you. Yeah,
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: we'll have to figure that out. That would be great. Oh,
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: he's already got the celebrity lingo down of Yeah, we'll
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: figure that out. Assistant. Is Jason your pick for the Bachelor?
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: First of all, Jason, I thought your family seemed awesome
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: and I'd like to see more of them. Um definitely
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: definitely my favorite hometown date. And I'm also quite curious
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: about your friends for the Gronk, which I hope would
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: be in the show as well. And I just think
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: you seemed like over the course of um the season
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: like kind of like opened up in the way that
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: that works well for bachelors and batchelor Us like kind
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: of warmed up to the to the process, and it
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: seemed like you kind of got more comfortable as time
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: went on over over the course of the season, and
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: I just don't think we got to see enough of you,
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: so I would love to see more. Plus I feel
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: like you. I mean, this is perhaps the projection and
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: telling if I'm wrong, but I think it seems like
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: you know you'd be like both easy going with taking
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: it seriously and we'll just have fun with it. And
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: I think it's time for a fun season. I appreciate that.
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: I do you think I'd bring a little spice to
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: the season. It should be fun um To your point,
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: I did open up, but I opened up in the
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: manner that I felt right was for me, and I
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: stayed true to myself right. So I think at times
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: people might say things that they want becca to here
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: or they want the person making the decisions to here,
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: as opposed to saying what they mean and how they
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: mean it. So that is something I thought I stayed
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: true too. And the best part, I think when you
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: can leave this all and look back and talk to
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: your friends and family, and all of them say, the
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: same guy we've known growing up was the same guy
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: that was on that show, and we appreciate it. So
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: that was great and that I so thank you for
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: the kind words. But to your first point, yep, I
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: did grow up with Rob Gronkowski. He's a very good
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: friend of mine. He although then and now my head
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: was always at around his let's say hip level. You
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: always got a few feet on me. The guy's an
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: absolute monster, but great guy. He's done great with his career,
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: and um, I can tell you for sure that he
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: is aggressively supporting the Jason for Bachelor fan club, which
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: is quite funny. Does Row watch the Bachelorette? He is
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: now watching the Bachelorette. And I've gotten too funny comments,
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: one from his beautiful girl friend Camille, who has said,
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: I think you've now made him more of a romantic.
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: So I bust I bust his chops about that. And
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: Rob's always joking around and so in a very facetious,
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: loving way, he said, ah, man, now every time I
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: go out with you, you're going to get all the
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: chicks and no one's gonna come talk to me. Well,
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: he said, he has a beautiful girlfriend. He just, like
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: I said, in a facetious, funny Rob joking with a
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: girl listening, that's like, there's Rob Gronkowski. Yeah, most people
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: don't know. Oh yeah, so he is. He's just a
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: fun loving guy and his name. He's the tight end
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: of the New England Patriots. Um, and he's had a
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: very successful career on and off the field with not
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: for profits charities. And also I think he is uh.
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: I think he's three three super Bowl rings. He's kind
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: of like a wild personality, wild personality, but fun and loving. Yea,
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: he did have a cruise. Yeah, he plays with Tom Browdy.
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: Had one cruise, one cruise weekend and um, I think
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: that was I did go, I was, I was on
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: the crew. Was a rob. Hey, Jason, are Bills fan
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: or Patriot fan? I'm a huge Bills fan, but I'm
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: also a Rob fan. I root for his success. Have
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: you ever partaken in any of the craziness that is
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: Bills Mafia? You know it's I'm sad to say this.
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: You know what Bill's mafia does? The town gates right, Yeah,
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: like crush each other crazy stuff. I don't, but I'll
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: tell you really quickly. A funny story. I had a
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: business outing, so I brought these people and I'm thinking,
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: we gotta show him a nice relaxed version of the
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: tailgate which doesn't exist, so we can get a limo.
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: We go in the limo a lot, so I'm thinking
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: we're safe. We're good getting the limo a lot. Two
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: limos over. Two guys are on top of the limo,
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: hands linked, jumping off the limo, smashed the table A right, guys,
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: you wanted to go to the Bill's tail gate. Welcome
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: to the Bill's mafia. I know that you are always
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: um super Anneglotte cool and how you watch the show,
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: and I know you're a fan of Jason, but you
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: criticize me, You've criticized everybody. If there is one word
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: of advice going in to let's say Jason being the Bachelor,
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: what would be your word of device for the young man. Wow,
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: you really put me on the spot. Oh yeah, don't
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: kiss everyone right away. I think I just think that
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: like that the waves of Bachelor bachloress is like just
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: to go in for the makeout as soon as possible now,
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: and just like it also becomes on the talk to
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: them as far as it seems to me, So I
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: would say, be a little more judicious and like thinking
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: out a little bit more, because you don't want all
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: of the women to be mad. You've made out with
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: so many people, then you definitely made out too any girls.
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: I think it would be cool if there was a
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: bachelor bachelor who only made out with their top ten.
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: There is something to be said. I think like connecting
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: emotionally before physically, I think that that's fair. Oh come on, Jason,
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: don't take their side. You know this is absolutridiculous. You're
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: gonna kiss every single girl that walks through that freaking door.
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: You don't sit here with your beautiful hair and your
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: big old smile and go. You're right, Juliette, something about
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: that romantic chemistry before the physical. I'll tell you what
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: I think. My mom would instantly stop watching if I
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: had to do the after morning fantasy shot. That's that's
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: a little little now. You told me with Access Hollywood
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: that you wanted to get that fantasy suite, even if
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: it meant you were going to be dumped the morning
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: of Well, let me let me correct you. Let me
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: correct you. Actually what I said when I believe and
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: you could quote if it was differently, is that time
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: was a big part of this game and it was
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: a huge commodity. And of the other two guys, I
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: had the latest one on one, I only had one
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: on one. I didn't have a first impression rolls or
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: group date. And I felt as though time could have
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: put our relationship in a better position. And to cut
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: it short when I didn't think at the time, there
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: was a real justified explanation from her at dinner. Um,
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: you know, I thought time would have helped. But you
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: know just what to say, don't you. You're good man,
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: really good. You're gonna do just fine. You're gonna I
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: have a supporter. Thank you. You can give me some
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: golf lessons. I need them. Um, hey, Juliet, before we
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: say goodbye to you, I know that you know you
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: have a an executive position at the Ringer. You operate
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: a couple of very successful podcasts, and I want to
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: hear about those before we go. But before we send
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: you off, somebody like yourself, who was a very busy person,
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: who works very hard, who is an extremely intelligent I
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: am a big fan of you, and you know that
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: why do you like the Bachelor or Bachelor at like
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: somebody like you, why do you why do you enjoy
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: watching I think it's two things. I wanted to totally
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: escape this. I don't think I would ever go on
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: this show. So it's like just like watching it is
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: an utter fantasy, and just because like at the point
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: of that in my career and sort of you know
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: all that no judgments of course, um, and to like
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: to that extent when you when I watch it, like
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: you you just kind of like put yourself in the
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: shoes of whomever, like whoever you like root for You're like, well,
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: if I work in a spot, in her spot, like
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: this is what I would do. And so it's just
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: a way of like living out a reality you'll never have,
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: like a reality TV and then something that you know
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: you can like forecast yourself into that having to actually experience.
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: And then on top about like over the last two
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: years that I've been doing these podcasts, like it's just
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: become so much more popular and it's like a talking
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: point with was like like minded people, and so it's
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: like being part of a big cultural phenomena. One thing
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: fun question is if you if you did do it,
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: what would your entrance out of the limo being a
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: good question. That is a good question. Um, I would
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: go a props, but like nothing to extravagant, Like I
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: wouldn't like ride them on a horse or anything. I
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: think I would do some research on whoever the Bachelard
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: was and like try to find one thing we had
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: in common and present something. Because you like, it's so
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: hard to remember everyone's name in the first night, right,
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: then you need to Yeah, you need. I mean you
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: were one of the first to quiz me on this
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: how do you remember everybody's name? And it's associating whatever
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: they do have the limo with their actual name. So
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think, Juliet, you need to come out
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: firing because they need to know who you are. They
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: need to keep you around. It'll be interesting. Um, you know,
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: if you ever did sign up for the show, if
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: Jason is the next Batchelor, this could be really nice.
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: I'll be like, you're what time we're on the same podcast. Yeah,
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: and then people are like they met before they already
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: had a bonding moment. Hey, Juliet, we really appreciate you
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: come on the podcast. I've I've you've been awesome to Ashley.
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: I You've had us on your podcast multiple time, talking
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: everything Bachelor, talking everything life. We became friends through it,
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: and that's not easy to do, is a journalist or
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: a podcast host becoming friends with your guest, especially during
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: this show. Um, it's in too long. We gotta have
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: you back. I think Paradise is your sweet spot. So
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: I think Julia Letman needs to come back during Paradise.
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: I get so many tweets and interactions when I go
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: on your show. I know you've a huge fan base
• 57:13

  Speaker 1: this is gonna sound tacky, but can you be both?
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: Because I'm the kind of guy like I can go
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: l a and that could be like right up early
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: and work out. Oh wow, you're special, that's what you are.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: I have decided that I am a night owl, but
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: I'm a home night owl. It doesn't mean I want
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: to be out at night. It means that I want
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: to be on the couch at one in the morning.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm not. I'm not like a late
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: afternoon guy, like three to four shot, yeah, or like
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: a shot of espresso something. What is your job? I'm
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: a banker everyone, Um, So I work with companies that
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: earn revenues fifty million dollars in greater and there's like
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: no industry niche I work with, and I do a
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: lot of their financing as they grow and buy companies
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: or by real estate, etcetera. So the main compancy of
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: my job is placing senior debt to help them grow.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: I didn't understand any like that different, So I just
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: I work with larger companies to provide all their financing solutions.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: You know, everyone gets a mortgage, and you get a
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: mortgage through a banker, a mortgage banker. Um, I do
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: similar type of debt placement for larger companies. Okay, so
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: you're not like sitting at the Bank of America teller good. Hey,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: you guys have both heard of restructuring your debt. Yeah,
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: Jason can help you do that. Hey, it doesn't have
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: debt in the zones. To all the girls out there interested, hey,
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: I was real, I didn't she good? Good? Hey, guys.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: As much as I know our listeners love talking about debt,
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: they also really love talking about sex. So from Marissa Jason,
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: this is a question for you. It's titled Fantasy suitets
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: Hi Been and Ashley and Jason. I have a question
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: about the fantasy sweet dates to the Bachelor's Bachelor. Let's
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: get a day between each fantasy sweet date to process
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: and adjust or do they just wake up jump into
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: the next day? For instance, did Becca wake up from
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: the fantasy sweet date with Blake say goodbye and go
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: immediately to Jason? Jason, do you know what an answer that? So?
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: I think you guys can attest to this too. I think,
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: especially at that level, the producers are very respectful of
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: each of the candidates and cast members, and there's played
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: time in between those dates. Um, so I was so
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: much time. I mean I was sequestered in in Thailand
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: when I lost, and I was there for quite some time.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: So that's an indication that there's definitely time gaps in
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: between each date. I don't know what the time gap
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: is because and as you guys know, we don't know
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: who is going when and who is going first. Second,
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: we don't know the timing of anything. Um, so I
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: know when I got there early in the morning the
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: one day, I had the full day to relax, and
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: then the next day we had our date. Okay, so
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: you're saying that your entire date happens on one day,
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: but you don't know how many days off the bachelorette
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: has in between. Precisely, we need to ask a bachelor
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: a bachelor at how many days there between. Then I
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: just deferred another question to you. You know, that is
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: one of the most brutal weeks. And I was joking
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: about the sex part because I know for a fact
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: that not every bachelor or bachelorette participates in physical contact
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: outside of maybe some kissing and canoodling, um, during these
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: fantasy sweet dates. But with that being said, they're exhausting
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: because you only have one day or one night to
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: spend with this person without cameras, and so you have
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: I think it's eight hours to kind of break down
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: life in the way that you want to without cameras
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: around and so if you're pulling off an all nighter,
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: you have to have the next day to rest, and
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: so these next days are incredibly important. So there's a
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: full day in between dates. You wake up in the
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: morning from the fantasy sweet date. You have all day
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: to kind of catch your breath, to sleep, to rest,
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: to probably do some pickup interviews, um, to probably talk
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: to a little press, and then you go to bed
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: that night and you wake up the next morning and
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: start the next day. So with that, there is a
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: full day in between. It's needed. I don't think anybody
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: could do it for multiple reasons without it. It is
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: I remember that week and it is so so exhausting.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: So Jason is you're resting and wherever in the heck
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: you got kicked off at, you know, chilling drinking mohitos
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: on the beach in between dates. Becca's out there just
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: grinding literally, like talking to people pulling all nighters. Figuratively, yeah,
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: figuratively like talking to people. Yeah, that was a good one,
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: speaking of where you were drinking mohitos on the beach.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: When you get kicked off during Fantasy Suite week, you're
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: often there left hanging for a while just to have
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: like your one handler or producer buddy who maybe not
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: who did you hang out with, but how many days
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: did you have left in Thailand and what did you
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: do to fill those days, especially since they were so
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: so sad? It was. It was a long one. I
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: think we may have alluded to this in our post
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: interview of the last time we discussed, but it was
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: it was kind of an eye opening time for me
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: because I had literally everything that people would want. Right
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: I'm on vacation in Thailand, beautiful village, pool spa. I
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: could get massages, you could get your laundry done, all
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: the food in the world, and at that moment of
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: the moment was like the most empty moment of my
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: life because I didn't have family there and if friends
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: aren't anyone to share it with. Um. And it was
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: about a week or so, so um. There was also
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: some time. You know, I did go back and give
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: her the gift I had made for her, so but
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: there was a ton of downtime and it was difficult
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: at that point. I mean, everyone's had a breakup in
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: their life, and I don't know about you guys, but
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: I rely on family and friends to kind of get
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: me through those tough times and did not have them there.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: It was pretty difficult. It wasn't easy. Um, so you
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: didn't get to enjoy Thailand until it's fullest. But it
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: was a great learning experience. Um, Jason be you know
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: we're getting ready close out this podcast. I think one
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: of the most pointed moments of this whole experience for
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: you is when you went back to give her the gift.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: What went through your head? Why did you do it? Yeah?
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: So honestly, it ended so abruptly. And when I say,
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: I know Becca talked about blindsiding me, but I had
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: no proportional behaviors or responses from her during that day
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: and when she had walked away and you see that
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: she was going through this um episode where she couldn't
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: see our future, I had no indication of that. After that,
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: her and I actually stopped at one place where drinking
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: and everything was great. So it ended abruptly. I felt
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: that our relationship was deep. She had brought my friends
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: out during the time to surprise me. I had met
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: her best friends, she had met my family. We had
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: deep conversations about family and lost loved ones and what
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: they meant to us. And I felt that I just
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: the way we ended it just didn't do what we
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: had justice. So two things I wanted to do was
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: one uh ended with character in class, shut the door
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: in the right manner to feel good about moving on.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: And then two was to give her the book that
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: I honestly put a lot of hours into and was
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: really just a still full story, everything from I had
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: a name tag in there, hello, my name is Jason
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: the day she forgot it, that to some of the
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: more deep tell and telling and uh emotional dates and
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: connections we had. So that's you know. I didn't go
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: back there trying to get her back or anything of
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: that nature. It was just closed the door the right way,
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: give her a gift I had prepared to give her,
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: and um, I feel good about it, and I think
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: she does too. We talked about how getting broken up
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: with or breaking up with somebody in the bachelor bubble
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: is different because you don't necessarily get the closure that
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: you would in real life. It's so weird because usually
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: in real life you're like, oh, i'll talk to him
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: again next week, or like it'll be It's sort of
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: a good drifting situation, but not for the bachelor. When
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: did you start feeling better. Yes, So I think first
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: of all, you don't get closure, um, and then you
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: start feeling better. It's probably like a few weeks after
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: it and you realize that you know she's doing well
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: and she's finding her happiness and it is what it is.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: But I think the most difficult thing isn't about maybe
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: the closure when you feel better. The most difficult thing
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: is reliving it all over again. Because I'm at a
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: point now I'm good. I feel good about what happened
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: and the experience, and I'm happy for the happiness she's
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: gonna find. But to watch that episode again last week,
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: that was tough. Man, it was heart wrenching that. Really,
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: it was difficult. Even though I'm over. I'm in a
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: better place now, it's never good to relive experiences like that,
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: and um, you know, with this journey you have to
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: al right, well, let's let's end this on a on
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: a lighter note. Um. Kate writes us a question, and
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: I'm not even sure any of us know the answer
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: to this. She goes, I love your podcast list. And
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: every Tuesday morning, right after feasting on everything that is
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: Bachelor and Bachelorette. The night before after watching last week's episode,
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: I had a question when the date cards come from
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: the Bachelor Bachelorette, is it really them who wrote it?
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: Or does a producer write it? The handwriting always seems perfect.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: I can only imagine my terrible handwriting on a note, Also,
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: is that Chris Harrison's handwriting on the fantasy suite guard
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: enquiring minds want to know. I have no idea who
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: writes them, but in my whole four seasons, the handwriting
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: has been the exact same. Yeah, I mean this might
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: actually be something I have to prefer to Ben because
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know either, But sorry Ben, But honestly, like
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: the handwriting is absolutely perfect, and Chris Harrison the guy
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: is smooth and karis medic and confident, well spoken. There's
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: no darn way that is handwriting is that smooth? They
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: just can't be. But if there's one guy that can
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: pull it off and be him, I have to imagine
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: that someone else. Do you have some intel? Is that
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: when you were the Bachelor and you actually saw them
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: do it. Yeah, there's a reason why it's the same
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: season overseason. It's not Chris Harrison. But Chris Harrison does
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: have a say in the day cards, and it's actually
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: kind of an interesting process on how the wording of
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: the day cards gets done. So that's just like most
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: things on the show. Right, Chris, you know, is overseeing it.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: He knows all about it, but you need help. If
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: you think Chris Harrison come with forty day cards and
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: those little what he's saying, it's time over time, you're crazy.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: And so it's actually a little group effort that comes
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: up with him. And then there's somebody on staff that
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: writes the day cards who has a good writing and
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: so there's times I'm not playing. There's times where you're
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: in some foreign country and whoever was doing it in
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles can't do it in that country, and so
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: whoever is there steps up and their handwriting gets displayed
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: for all to see, and it's never Chris Harrison. I'm
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: also going to give a clue for anyone that goes
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: on this show in the future. A good way to
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: indicate how out there some of the people are is
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: they put these cards out there and they're kind of
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: like riddles and you have to come up with what
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: it could be. So just listen very carefully to how
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: people speculate what these riddles are, and I'm like, yeah,
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: that dude's crazy. This guy has no idea about anything,
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: and that dude's really smart. So I use that and
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: worked out. That's where you're always guessing them. That's always
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: you're always guess the ideas. People kind of like, dude,
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: are you out of your damn mind? They do, they
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: pause us and they're like, Okay, guys, let's debate over
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: what the car means for the next half an hour.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: And some people who have a realistic ideas and other people, yeah,
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: we're going to fly in New Zealand. Dude, are you
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: out of your mind? I'm staying away from that. I
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: would love it. Hey, Jason, has been fun watching this
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: whole season. And how I've done it is with one
• 1:14:09
