Speaker 1: this time that verbal answer and added to his face
5:15
Speaker 1: expression and yeah, you know. Well. One question that we
5:19
Speaker 1: didn't ask Ashley last week that I think is is
5:22
Speaker 1: nice as this week we just got this question, uh
5:25
Speaker 1: sent in um from Melissa Mike. It's clear your type
5:31
Speaker 1: then your voice changes when you do a podcast. It
5:36
Speaker 1: really I know what I'll say. Claire said something that
5:42
Speaker 1: I thought was profound when she said when she was
5:45
Speaker 1: when she was announced that she's the Bestchelorett. She's like,
5:49
Speaker 1: I'm not here to play games. I know exactly what
5:51
Speaker 1: I want. I like a woman that knows exactly what
5:53
Speaker 1: she wants. And Claire said that she knows exactly what
5:55
Speaker 1: she wants. I thought that was really alerted. I'll say
5:59
Speaker 1: that the word alluring, it's to use more often words.
6:06
Speaker 1: So I'm getting a couple of questions over here about
6:10
Speaker 1: your appearance and your style. People want to know what
6:13
Speaker 1: the Mike Johnson beauty regiment is. What the Mike Johnson
6:17
Speaker 1: beauty regiment is. It's Zara. But I have a few
6:22
Speaker 1: wizarre though, because I'm six and may be discriminating against
6:28
Speaker 1: tall guys. I swear I sat with Zara and I
6:32
Speaker 1: tried to get those shirts on. Man. I go in
6:34
Speaker 1: the dressing rooms and I look like a fat boy
6:36
Speaker 1: in a tiny coat, Like I'm talking out. Nothing's working.
6:39
Speaker 1: Nothing question for you six fours. Jared is six ft,
6:46
Speaker 1: and when he thinks about the tall guys from the franchise,
6:50
Speaker 1: he's like, I don't know that i'd want to be
6:52
Speaker 1: six four because I think when you get to be
6:54
Speaker 1: six four height, you start to like it's actually like inconvenient,
6:58
Speaker 1: like you might bump your head getting into planes and stuff.
7:01
Speaker 1: Is this true? I like you bought my head at yeah,
7:08
Speaker 1: Like I know you've been like, I'm not going to
7:11
Speaker 1: change it at all, if even if I could, But
7:13
Speaker 1: I do buy my head. Yeah, something only a six
7:18
Speaker 1: ft would say. Only a six foot guy would say
7:20
Speaker 1: something like that, Hey, I don't want to be six
7:23
Speaker 1: four convenient. Yeah, you're right. Jared is probably saying, you know,
7:28
Speaker 1: he's trying to say this to make himself feel better
7:30
Speaker 1: at six ft right, Tell him, tell him this, Tell
7:32
Speaker 1: him this. Tom Brady is not six ft. Tom Brady
7:35
Speaker 1: is like six three. That's right, Hey, Mike, UM, question
7:43
Speaker 1: for you, you you and Ashley. I'd love for you all
7:44
Speaker 1: to answer here. The question comes in through the message
7:48
Speaker 1: feed here. Uh, did you all ever find it difficult
7:52
Speaker 1: to be your true self on camera while people are watching?
7:55
Speaker 1: And if you did, then how long did it take
7:57
Speaker 1: it get comfortable? Ladies? First, Um, for me, going to
8:02
Speaker 1: be real honest came pretty naturally, of course, I know
8:07
Speaker 1: it did. Actually, when we first met, did I come directly?
8:12
Speaker 1: Actually already got do small talk? You came directly at
8:15
Speaker 1: me exactly, so when it was on the show, I
8:19
Speaker 1: didn't care about the cameras at all. You too. It
8:22
Speaker 1: took me a bit. It did take me a bit.
8:24
Speaker 1: I actually at one point, Um, I was sleeping so
8:29
Speaker 1: much because I'm so anxious, and so my response was
8:31
Speaker 1: just to go to sleep. That the show actually came
8:33
Speaker 1: in and they're like, hey, we think we like you,
8:34
Speaker 1: we don't know you, and like you gotta stop sleeping
8:37
Speaker 1: because this is a show. Uh, Mike, We're gonna speed
8:41
Speaker 1: it up here a bit. We also got a question
8:43
Speaker 1: coming in said, what is your love language? I like
8:45
Speaker 1: that question. I'm glad you asked. My love language actually
8:48
Speaker 1: is quality time, but the dialect is quality communication. I
8:53
Speaker 1: absolutely thrive off of communicating and getting We can have
8:57
Speaker 1: differences of opinion, but if we both have respect and
9:00
Speaker 1: can't get our thoughts across, can listen to one another.
9:03
Speaker 1: That is so sexy. I have been trying to get
9:06
Speaker 1: Jared to read the Love Languages book, which will take
9:08
Speaker 1: him three hours, and he still is like it's gonna
9:12
Speaker 1: be so obvious, like I'll skim through, and I'm like, actually,
9:15
Speaker 1: here you go. I wish the technology would just allow
9:17
Speaker 1: me to just give it to you like that downstairs.
9:20
Speaker 1: It's on his night stand. Now. I just have to
9:21
Speaker 1: get it in his hands. Tell me it's a really
9:26
Speaker 1: good book, like serious, I tell my mom to read Okay,
9:28
Speaker 1: I'll tell I'll tell him that you read it, and
9:29
Speaker 1: then he'll make it. It'll feel cooler to him. It's
9:32
Speaker 1: so accessible next to you. Yeah, he'll get a little
9:35
Speaker 1: bit taller if he reads it. Okay, Mike, For anybody

10:52
Speaker 1: All right, Moving on, we have Becat Tilly, who is
10:56
Speaker 1: one of the bands of good friends that also happened
10:59
Speaker 1: to be on his season one of my good friends
11:02
Speaker 1: of course as well. So everybody welcome Beca Tilly and
11:05
Speaker 1: flood that timeline over there with questions for her. Please.
11:09
Speaker 1: Oh man, Becca is going to get arousing applause. Hello Becca, Hi, Hey,
11:16
Speaker 1: So becks um watching this episode back. You say, when
11:21
Speaker 1: you first sit down with Ben, You're like, I am
11:23
Speaker 1: so nervous. I've never been this nervous in my life.
11:26
Speaker 1: And then he's like, but you've been through the process already.
11:29
Speaker 1: Can you talk about why you were so nervous and
11:32
Speaker 1: whether or not you and you got the approval from
11:35
Speaker 1: Ben to come on this season beforehand. Now, that we're
11:37
Speaker 1: all out of contract. I think that was the most
11:42
Speaker 1: nervous I had ever been, just because I had been
11:45
Speaker 1: through it before and knowing what it felt like walking
11:47
Speaker 1: into there, and like Ben and I had talked before
11:51
Speaker 1: about me coming on, but I just had this fear
11:55
Speaker 1: that maybe he changed his mind in the process, and
11:58
Speaker 1: I didn't know like how he was going to react
12:00
Speaker 1: when you saw me. And my biggest fear was like
12:03
Speaker 1: I didn't know how the girls were going to respond
12:05
Speaker 1: to me walking in. And so that's why I I
12:10
Speaker 1: almost I will never forget getting out the limo. And
12:12
Speaker 1: it wasn't been standing there when Amber and I came back,
12:15
Speaker 1: was Chris Harrison, And I was like, I should go.
12:21
Speaker 1: Did that signal to you that, like you guys were
12:23
Speaker 1: the last ones to enter? Oh? Yeah, I quickly realized
12:27
Speaker 1: what was happening, that it was a grand show of
12:31
Speaker 1: us walking in. Sure was well it was still to
12:35
Speaker 1: this day, and I mean, you and I both know this,
12:37
Speaker 1: like it's one of the best things that ever happened
12:39
Speaker 1: to me because I got to meet you, and you've
12:41
Speaker 1: been so sweet to Jess and just we've stayed friends.
12:44
Speaker 1: And Becca, are you nervous about tonight. No, I don't
12:49
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of focus on me. I think
12:51
Speaker 1: they're focusing more. I could be wrong, but I feel
12:54
Speaker 1: like they're focusing more on the final four. So I
12:57
Speaker 1: feel like it will probably just be a like how happy.
13:00
Speaker 1: I mean, my experience was happy. I didn't have any
13:03
Speaker 1: like I don't have any negative feelings towards you or
13:07
Speaker 1: like the Bachelor. Um. I actually the other day was
13:13
Speaker 1: telling someone I was like, I went on the Bachelor.
13:17
Speaker 1: I think I told you've been I was telling you
13:19
Speaker 1: this that I went on obviously to date you, and
13:22
Speaker 1: that was my intent, but I really feel like I
13:25
Speaker 1: went on to have you as a friend, like I
13:27
Speaker 1: genuinely consider you one of like those people in my
13:30
Speaker 1: life that I text for advice on certain topics, that
13:34
Speaker 1: I respect you and and yeah, so I I look
13:40
Speaker 1: back on The Bachelor as like both experiences with ash
13:44
Speaker 1: two on Christmas season just fond memories. Yeah, it's true though,
13:50
Speaker 1: because I've had to do a lot of thinking the
13:53
Speaker 1: last week about what does this season even mean to
13:56
Speaker 1: me anymore? You know, like it didn't work out, It's done,
14:00
Speaker 1: and it's like Jessica was the one that reminded me
14:03
Speaker 1: we were talking last week, and she's like, think about
14:04
Speaker 1: the people that you met through this whole thing, Like
14:07
Speaker 1: the beckett Is who like you've embraced her when we
14:10
Speaker 1: went to Ashley and Jared's wedding and made her feel
14:12
Speaker 1: like she was a part of the group and you
14:15
Speaker 1: loved on her well, and like she'll forever be grateful
14:17
Speaker 1: about that. So anyways, I do think the people like
14:22
Speaker 1: you and and in my life and then getting me
14:24
Speaker 1: Ashley is what this whole thing was about. And I'm
14:26
Speaker 1: really happy now that I did it. I could go
14:29
Speaker 1: on and on, but yeah, it's uh, it's true. Hey,
14:31
Speaker 1: everybody's asking what do I smell like? Yeah, what's up
14:33
Speaker 1: with that? From but do you smell like? You smell
14:37
Speaker 1: really good? And we've been close before? What do I
14:39
Speaker 1: smell like? Um? Well, I you know, I always tell
14:44
Speaker 1: people and when you're on the Bachelor or when you're
14:47
Speaker 1: the Bachelor or I guess Bachelorette, I would imagine in
14:50
Speaker 1: the same way, you're always smelling just top notch. Your
14:55
Speaker 1: breath never smells bad. There's constant listerine strips, like and
15:00
Speaker 1: then the producers go, doesn't Ben smell so good? Doesn't
15:05
Speaker 1: he look so handsome and you're just like, yeah he did. Actually,
15:10
Speaker 1: so I have memories like, yes, okay, so weird? Wait
15:16
Speaker 1: what you don't like it? I felt like I may
15:18
Speaker 1: have fallen in love with him just because of the
15:19
Speaker 1: colone they gave him. Okay, no, lie. So then I
15:22
Speaker 1: started dating Robert after and he wore the cologne on
15:26
Speaker 1: our one of our first dates, and I was like,
15:28
Speaker 1: what is that? I feel like I awkwardly asked us
15:34
Speaker 1: like years later, what cologne he used because I knew that,
15:39
Speaker 1: like I wanted to get it for a guy one day.
15:44
Speaker 1: Is that weird? Guys? Now? So I just keep that
15:46
Speaker 1: sent as something that Chris wore. No, you should definitely
15:49
Speaker 1: spray on, yeah, spreading on your pillow. I made Jared
15:56
Speaker 1: get Abacromi fears. So that's my my my snill for
15:59
Speaker 1: jar because that's what the high school boys smelled like
16:02
Speaker 1: that I could never get. Oh, guys, it's really cute.
16:08
Speaker 1: I didn't know much word I was gonna use, but
16:10
Speaker 1: it's really cute. Oh sorry, Ben, you haven't had a
16:14
Speaker 1: question for I just want to ask um, when people
16:17
Speaker 1: come up to you on the street and they recognize
16:19
Speaker 1: you from the show, do they recognize you most from
16:21
Speaker 1: Ben season to Christmas season. Ben seasons. Yeah, that's weird.
16:27
Speaker 1: I could ask questions as if I was never on
16:31
Speaker 1: another season. Like in some people's minds when I think
16:34
Speaker 1: anything about Christmas season, it's like, what why do you
16:38
Speaker 1: think that is? Um? Because I showed more emotion on
16:43
Speaker 1: your season. They got me to cry. You made me cry,
16:47
Speaker 1: but people wanted tears, they wanted to think about Actually,
16:50
Speaker 1: why do we remember? Actually she was very vulnerable. O
16:55
Speaker 1: think I was a little more open to the process
16:57
Speaker 1: at that point. It's good point. Yeah, so Becca, before
17:02
Speaker 1: we bring on our next guest, who is also a
17:04
Speaker 1: friend of ours, Uh, I gotta ask you, what do
17:07
Speaker 1: you go up to these days? Where can people find
17:09
Speaker 1: you and follow you? Because people absolutely love themselves in Beccadilly.
17:14

Speaker 1: will finally come our podcast with Victoria. Good point, that's
18:47
Speaker 1: a good point. Do you think they're gonna come on?
18:50
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I bet to Victoria likes that Colonne,
18:53
Speaker 1: oh my, you know the one thing about and tell
18:57
Speaker 1: me if you think I'm crazy, Like, there's a lot
19:00
Speaker 1: of people in this franchise that are just like absolutely
19:03
Speaker 1: like gorgeous, but when you see Chris Souls in person,
19:07
Speaker 1: you're like, that dude is really good. Dude, I know,
19:10
Speaker 1: and it's so underrated. There's something about Chris in person.
19:15
Speaker 1: He is one of the best looking bachelors there. There's
19:18
Speaker 1: been what do you think about that relationship? Somebody just
19:21
Speaker 1: wrote in? Female wrote in someone said, how do I
19:25
Speaker 1: feel about that relationship? I mean, how could I really
19:28
Speaker 1: have feedback if I haven't met her in real life
19:31
Speaker 1: at all and I have been seeing them together. Yeah,
19:35
Speaker 1: I mean that's kind of how I feel. I mean,
19:36
Speaker 1: Chris even through all the last few years, Like, Chris
19:39
Speaker 1: has always been a good buddy of mine and we've
19:41
Speaker 1: tried to stay in contact and um, but I've never
19:44
Speaker 1: met Victoria and I actually haven't talked to him since
19:46
Speaker 1: this whole thing. I think it's public. I don't know
19:49
Speaker 1: have they announced it? Is it is public? I mean
19:51
Speaker 1: she they posted pictures um where she's obviously on the
19:55
Speaker 1: farm and like she ats it. So yeah, you do
20:00
Speaker 1: you know who Nick files nating? Um? I have an idea,
20:03
Speaker 1: But if he hasn't said anything about who it is,
20:06
Speaker 1: then I'm not saying anything. But you do have an idea.
20:09
Speaker 1: We can hint to that. Possibly is it somebody from
20:13
Speaker 1: the batch the Bachelor world? If it's who I'm thinking about? Now, okay, okay, well, um,
20:19
Speaker 1: we'll try to bring Nick on to see. He's a
20:21
Speaker 1: pretty private guy about his dating life, isn't He like
20:24
Speaker 1: it's in the headlines a lot, but he like doesn't
20:26
Speaker 1: talk about it a lot now. He likes to get
20:28
Speaker 1: the gossip from the others and keep his own gossip
20:31
Speaker 1: to himself. Yeah, good point. Hey, Um, people are asking
20:35
Speaker 1: is the Bachelor live on stage and to come back?
20:37
Speaker 1: It is. It's coming back. It was a huge deal.
20:40
Speaker 1: Ashley was at one of the events, uh and Reno
20:44
Speaker 1: and it is definitely coming back. It's coming back strong.
20:47
Speaker 1: We don't know exactly when yet because of COVID, but
20:52
Speaker 1: when it does, you'll hear about it. And I really
20:55
Speaker 1: hope to see the almost Famous family there. It was wild,
20:58
Speaker 1: actually I think I told you this, Um, but during
21:02
Speaker 1: like the meet and greets and even when we're on
21:04
Speaker 1: stage sometimes people were yelling every night. I mean, Becco
21:07
Speaker 1: is even impressed, like I love the Almost Famous podcast.
21:10
Speaker 1: I listened to almost podcast. I love Ashley, That's so cool,
21:14
Speaker 1: all the thanks guys all over the country. So it
21:17
Speaker 1: was it was really really awesome. Amy. I don't know
21:21
Speaker 1: where we met at, but I was nervous every night too,
21:24
Speaker 1: So I guess we have that in common. So a
21:26
Speaker 1: lot of people like I mean, I feel like you
21:29
Speaker 1: kind of mentally braced yourself for those four months on
21:32
Speaker 1: the tour bus and then after two three weeks it
21:35
Speaker 1: was just done, like postponed. Now do you have to
21:38
Speaker 1: like reprepare your brain? Oh my gosh, it's uh it's insane.
21:43
Speaker 1: So actually, you're right. And before we bring on our
21:46
Speaker 1: next guest here, I want to tell you, like, you
21:48
Speaker 1: do have to prep And I was like I can
21:50
Speaker 1: do this now. I'm you know, I was just starting today, Jess.
21:52
Speaker 1: This is a good move for us. Living on a
21:54
Speaker 1: tour bus for four months is not easy. Uh, it
21:57
Speaker 1: was a great tour bus with great people, but you
22:00
Speaker 1: I am, I mean, especially being locked in my house
22:03
Speaker 1: with my own bed for the last three months, it's
22:05
Speaker 1: gonna be really hard for me to get back onto
22:08
Speaker 1: a moving bus and uh and start going again. I
22:13
Speaker 1: phel you. I feel bad for you because you know,
22:15
Speaker 1: looking at the calendar, you would have been over a
22:18
Speaker 1: month done and you would have knocked out your tour
22:21
Speaker 1: bus time. But I know that the high on stage
22:24
Speaker 1: makes it all worth it, and who does seeing the
22:26
Speaker 1: people out there, it really does. So Hey, Ashley, we
22:29
Speaker 1: have our guests on. This is gonna be a surprise
22:32
Speaker 1: to everybody. Uh. She lives in the same hometown as
22:36
Speaker 1: me right now. She is also one of the most
22:39
Speaker 1: favorite and one of the most recognizable characters from the
22:42
Speaker 1: twentieth season of The Bachelor. Welcome Lace Morris, you guys,
22:48
Speaker 1: I had I saw Lace last at JJ's wedding and
22:50
Speaker 1: it was really good to see her. Um Lace HIGHI
22:58
Speaker 1: I love your hair. Thank you. Oh my gosh, I
23:01
Speaker 1: got a new hair stylis. I'm so excited. Looks, you're stunning,
23:05
Speaker 1: You're looking beautiful, glowing to you, guys. It's good to
23:09
Speaker 1: see you too. Yeah, this was a surprise to be
23:11
Speaker 1: on here. So the last time that everybody saw you
23:15
Speaker 1: on TV, you were engaged to Grant and then today
23:19
Speaker 1: you get to talk to Chris Harrison again. Um get
23:22
Speaker 1: back to the nation to remember you. Are you nervous
23:25
Speaker 1: at all about watching Ben's episode? No, I actually recently
23:30
Speaker 1: watched it with some friends just to prep myself and like,
23:33
Speaker 1: it's cringe worthy, but it's pretty funny. It's just fun
23:35
Speaker 1: to laugh at yourself now. It is, you know. One
23:38
Speaker 1: of the things that I was impressed by, especially watching
23:41
Speaker 1: tonight's episode back and the kind of the recap it
23:45
Speaker 1: is how you responded to the difficult questions and how
23:48
Speaker 1: you talked about, you know, standing up that you weren't
23:51
Speaker 1: in a place to date and to be on the show.
23:53
Speaker 1: Looking back, now, are you glad that you left? Yeah? No,
23:57
Speaker 1: I'm so glad I left. I still think it was
23:59
Speaker 1: the decision, not knowing if I'd get a rose or not.
24:02
Speaker 1: But I think that was the best decision I could
24:05
Speaker 1: have done, and I've got I'm self aware to be
24:07
Speaker 1: able to do that. Ben, she was just the ultimate
24:12
Speaker 1: interrupter during those couple of weeks that she was on
24:14
Speaker 1: the show. Did you how did you make annoyed? Are
24:20
Speaker 1: you like, oh the producers, no, you know, I want
24:24
Speaker 1: When I watched it, I saw my face in one
24:26
Speaker 1: of them, and I was like, what was I thinking?
24:28
Speaker 1: Because there really wasn't any woman from my season that
24:31
Speaker 1: I remember going, oh my gosh, this is so crazy,
24:34
Speaker 1: like this is so annoying. What I remember with Lace
24:36
Speaker 1: was like and I think I even told you this,
24:38
Speaker 1: like take a deep breath and stop like stressing, like
24:41
Speaker 1: don't self destruct here. Stay I think we talked about
24:45
Speaker 1: that in the rooftop, was just like stay focused. It's
24:48
Speaker 1: all good, It's it's gonna be fine. But yeah, after
24:51
Speaker 1: too many times in my back of my head, I'm like, Lace, like,
24:52
Speaker 1: what is going on? Like part of it was pure pressure.
24:56
Speaker 1: I'm sure, I'm sure it was, but I think that
24:59
Speaker 1: was it was just la, what's going on? Like this
25:03
Speaker 1: is I'm trying to respond here, but there's not a
25:06
Speaker 1: lot of things I can say to make just be better.
25:08
Speaker 1: But it was super relatable because you were like, I'm
25:11
Speaker 1: I can't be cool, I can't be cool. I must
25:12
Speaker 1: address this. I have to talk to him about it.
25:15
Speaker 1: And that's how I would be. That's how I would
25:17
Speaker 1: be too, And I feel like a lot of girls
25:19
Speaker 1: watching are like, yeah, if I'm feeling off about the
25:22
Speaker 1: guy that I'm dating, I can't just let it go
25:24
Speaker 1: by right exactly late. One of one of the is
25:29
Speaker 1: that your dog. Yeah, sorry, can you guys hear her?
25:32
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's fine. Hey, we always have some some
25:35
Speaker 1: park dog in the background my friends, So she can
25:39
Speaker 1: help me. You're good. But as uh, in a second,
25:43
Speaker 1: we're going to have Amanda standing on. She hasn't technic
25:45
Speaker 1: with coffee. She will be back on and just a second,
25:47
Speaker 1: we're working on that. You keep in contact with any
25:50
Speaker 1: of the women from that season. Yeah, no, I keep
25:53
Speaker 1: in contact with Olivia, Amanda, Lauren, Leah, Jen you guys
25:59
Speaker 1: all over the place. Yeah, I try. I try to
26:01
Speaker 1: keep in touch. People are asking if you still have
26:04
Speaker 1: the tattoo from Bachelor in Paradise. Yeah, unfortunately, I mean
26:08
Speaker 1: I still haven't. I still own it. What does it say, Grace? Yeah,
26:13
Speaker 1: well you know Grace, I mean luckily, I mean it
26:15
Speaker 1: could anything a million Yeah, yeah things. That's fine. So
26:20
Speaker 1: one of the things that we haven't gotten closure on,
26:22
Speaker 1: and I know this always is tough to bring up,
26:24
Speaker 1: but hey, on a night that it seems like past
26:27
Speaker 1: relationships are the topic of of focus. Whatever happened with
26:31
Speaker 1: you and Grant and you guys stay in touch at all? No?
26:35
Speaker 1: We uh, we do not stay in touch at all.
26:38
Speaker 1: And I don't know. We just I don't even know
26:42
Speaker 1: what to say. Just weren't a good fit. It was
26:47
Speaker 1: it was kind of toxic. It wasn't good. People want
26:49
Speaker 1: to know what you're doing with your life? Now, what's
26:51
Speaker 1: your job? And um, are you dating? So I'm actually
26:56
Speaker 1: I've gotten a really serious relationship after him and I
26:59
Speaker 1: ended up up. We were together for two years and
27:03
Speaker 1: it's now been a full year of me being single,
27:05
Speaker 1: and I've never done that in my entire life. So
27:07
Speaker 1: it kind of feels good. And I'm doing real estate
27:11
Speaker 1: in Denver, right, Yeah, in Denver. Yeah. I just got
27:15
Speaker 1: back to Denver last week and I've been gone for
27:19
Speaker 1: six months because of the tour. Yeah, are you are
27:23
Speaker 1: you feeling like you're ready to get back in this
27:25
Speaker 1: city and start dating or are you still having a
27:27
Speaker 1: good time with the singleness. It's like some days I
27:31
Speaker 1: love it and some days I hate it. Member is
27:34
Speaker 1: not a good place to date lately. So I used
27:40
Speaker 1: to like I used to say when I was single,
27:43
Speaker 1: that like, I should probably move to Denver. But reputation
27:46
Speaker 1: of there's so many men and how what is the like, um,
27:50
Speaker 1: what's the ratio of men to women? You know? Uh,
27:54
Speaker 1: it's like sixty actually women, which is like unheard of
27:58
Speaker 1: for a city. That's right. I thought the ratio was
28:01
Speaker 1: even higher up. I thought it was like yeah, but
28:05
Speaker 1: none of them like one a date. They just want
28:07
Speaker 1: to go like do their hobbies. And now that they
28:11
Speaker 1: have the reputation of being member, they probably are like, oh,
28:15
Speaker 1: all the girls come to me. I know Denver small. Um, Lace,
28:21
Speaker 1: You're awesome. Thanks for coming on today. We're excited to

Speaker 1: to be a support system. How are you holding up
30:14
Speaker 1: right now, especially with in the midst of a quarantine? Oh? Man,
30:19
Speaker 1: I mean I think, I mean, you know, like we're
30:21
Speaker 1: lucky that Denver has just done really well with the
30:25
Speaker 1: stay at home order and just doing what we need
30:27
Speaker 1: to do to you know, get the um the rate
30:31
Speaker 1: of the the people that have the coronavirus down. And
30:34
Speaker 1: we've been able to open up far as restaurants and
30:38
Speaker 1: I've actually gone. I'm trying to go to all Ben
30:41
Speaker 1: Ben's restaurants. He has like so many now that I
30:43
Speaker 1: don't even know. It's like every day there's one opening. Um.
30:47
Speaker 1: But it's right now. I know it sucks. I mean,
30:52
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, like Chase's restaurant got closed down,
30:56
Speaker 1: which is so sad. Just trying to support as my
31:00
Speaker 1: any small businesses as I can, doing too much DoorDash orders,
31:05
Speaker 1: but uh yeah, it's it's crazy. But I just I
31:08
Speaker 1: hope that, you know, we can get through this. And
31:11
Speaker 1: I feel bad for people who are in you know,
31:13
Speaker 1: New York. I lived in New York, I lived in
31:15
Speaker 1: l A. And I know it's just crazy crazy out
31:18
Speaker 1: there right now. So I feel blessed that we're kind
31:20
Speaker 1: of in the up and up um with this whole thing,
31:23
Speaker 1: in this whole pandemic. And I've even got tested just
31:26
Speaker 1: to make sure I don't have it. UM. But it's
31:28
Speaker 1: it's been crazy. So Lauren posts, So you were a
31:33
Speaker 1: little critical of Ben, I was Yeah what I say,
31:37
Speaker 1: I'm sorry? What was that about you and Ben? That
31:44
Speaker 1: you think that didn't work out? You know, honestly, I
31:47
Speaker 1: don't know. I feel like, you know, on paper, potentially, um,
31:52
Speaker 1: you know, we would have been a good fit. But
31:53
Speaker 1: then at the same time, I feel like, you know,
31:55
Speaker 1: if it's not there, it's not there. Got it? But
31:58
Speaker 1: I'm sorry if I said anything bad about you, I
32:00
Speaker 1: was probably just sad I got sent home so good.
32:04
Speaker 1: Uh we we recovered just fine. Um, yes, right. Well,
32:09
Speaker 1: actually I don't know if you remember this, but Lauren
32:11
Speaker 1: is actually a part of probably the most nerve racking
32:16
Speaker 1: day of the season. We did the fashion show, Oh yeah,
32:21
Speaker 1: Passion show. That was terrifying. We walked, literally walked in
32:26
Speaker 1: the Mexico City like fashion week show for one of
32:29
Speaker 1: the biggest designers. Like this wasn't a small thing. Do
32:31
Speaker 1: you know how bad the producers wanted us to fall? Honestly,
32:34
Speaker 1: they probably were like putting down on the on the
32:38
Speaker 1: walkway hoping that we rice bananas. Yeah, it was. It was.
32:42
Speaker 1: It was intimidating because everybody was super good looking and
32:45
Speaker 1: I'm standing in the back like how do I walk?
32:48
Speaker 1: And this is what they tell me before I sent
32:49
Speaker 1: it back over you. Actually, I'm sorry for taking it,
32:51
Speaker 1: but I'm in the back. I'm like, I don't know
32:54
Speaker 1: how to walk. And this is a tip I got
32:55
Speaker 1: for anybody out there watching. Is you stand up straight
32:59
Speaker 1: and you with your shoulders down like they're a coat hanger,
33:01
Speaker 1: and that's the perfect posture. Wait, and that's how you walk. Yeah,
33:09
Speaker 1: you look see you look like a model. Okay, guy,
33:12
Speaker 1: thank you. It does it elongates the neck. You look great. Well, Lauren,
33:17
Speaker 1: you ended up getting engaged in December. Yeah, in December
33:22
Speaker 1: to Dog and you guys just got your wedding. Ben
33:26
Speaker 1: you canceled on literally on Monday, and our wedding supposed
33:30
Speaker 1: to be September twentie up in like Potaski area in Michigan.
33:34
Speaker 1: And um so we have a four hundred and twenty
33:37
Speaker 1: person wedding to reschedule. Lake. Yes, that's where dogs parents places. Yeah, yeah,
33:47
Speaker 1: so thank you. But we found a good backup, so
33:49
Speaker 1: hopefully that'll work out. But yeah, it's crazy. I feel
33:52
Speaker 1: so bad for all of the brides that are trying
33:54
Speaker 1: to schedule things during this time, you know, like the
33:56
Speaker 1: showers and Bachelor Bachelor parties, those are all postponed and
34:00
Speaker 1: it's just part of the fun. So it's bad. But
34:04
Speaker 1: at the same time, it's like you're still getting married.
34:06

Speaker 1: I've ever met. And I mean that the bottom of
34:50
Speaker 1: my heart. And uh, Ben, it's good to see you, man,
34:53

34:58
Speaker 1: It was a big outdoor music festival Denver. It on
35:00
Speaker 1: and it only lasted a year, which is unfortunate because
35:03
Speaker 1: it was a great time. Your coffee thanks Man. Jenner's
35:07
Speaker 1: Coffee was one of the sponsors of it, so we
35:09
Speaker 1: we got to uh have fun who The main act
35:13
Speaker 1: that year was Ray Charles, which blew our mind. And
35:17
Speaker 1: and who what does uhst? Kendrick Lamar, Yeah, Kendrick Lamar, Yeah, Hey, Ryan,
35:25
Speaker 1: are you a big Broncos fan? Because you have to
35:27
Speaker 1: be if you're kating Leah. It's true, but if I
35:33
Speaker 1: wasn't mean yeah, I basically had to sign a signature
35:37
Speaker 1: and blood that we're going to root for the Broncos
35:39
Speaker 1: the rest of our lives. You carry the podcast for
35:43
Speaker 1: one minute. I have something I want to go get. Okay, Yeah,
35:48
Speaker 1: I didn't let you guys leave without asking. He was
35:50
Speaker 1: on the I was okay. Our audiences keeps asking what
35:56
Speaker 1: it's really like to swim with pigs, and let's say
35:59
Speaker 1: that they were really c pigs, like those who weren't
36:01
Speaker 1: yucky looking pigs, but they were still aggressive. I honestly
36:05
Speaker 1: was more afraid of sharks because I was like, the
36:07
Speaker 1: smart sharks would totally be here to eat the pigs.
36:10
Speaker 1: So I was like, there's some great whites lurking in
36:13
Speaker 1: the water here, and I was like, just booking it
36:15
Speaker 1: to the boat as quickly as I could. That's really smart. Yes,
36:24
Speaker 1: So this, for anybody out there watching, this is the
36:27
Speaker 1: football that Leah gave me a night one. Oh my god,
36:30
Speaker 1: that's so cute. Painted it because he loves the cold
36:34
Speaker 1: and Peyton Manning obviously played for the Broncos, but you
36:37
Speaker 1: know most of his career was for the Cold and
36:39
Speaker 1: so I hand painted the books and the colds. But
36:42
Speaker 1: due to you know, like rights, they couldn't show it
36:45
Speaker 1: on the air because you know, so I I threw
36:47
Speaker 1: regular football, but then she just told me about that
36:50
Speaker 1: football for days and days and days. As I finally
36:55
Speaker 1: got to see it. Man's right gorgeous. You're lucky, dude,

Speaker 1: lashes Den's and trying really hard to convince her to stay. Um,
38:44
Speaker 1: but I think she's here for good. Nice. It's amazing. Hey,
38:48
Speaker 1: I mean so far people were super pumped about you
38:51
Speaker 1: coming on a lot of the questions earlier. We're about
38:53
Speaker 1: one of the most infamous dates in Bachelor history, Swimming
38:56
Speaker 1: with the pigs. Um, what can you tell our fans
39:00
Speaker 1: and what it was like? Thiswie with pigs. Okay, So
39:03
Speaker 1: it's so funny because when we did that date, I
39:05
Speaker 1: mean now I feel like we see that all of
39:06
Speaker 1: our Instagram. But I didn't even know that was a thing.
39:11
Speaker 1: I thought it was super random, but it was fun
39:14
Speaker 1: a little scary. I feel like that was definitely our
39:16
Speaker 1: most dramatic date. M But I I left swimming with
39:21
Speaker 1: the pigs. I don't thought they were adorable. Watching it back,
39:25
Speaker 1: I was like, why are these girls so scared? They're
39:26
Speaker 1: so cute. They were a little aggressive, but it was fun.
39:32
Speaker 1: I I don't know if you remember this, and you
39:34
Speaker 1: don't have to go into too much detail, but one
39:36
Speaker 1: of the repercussions from going to the date was some
39:39
Speaker 1: of the girls had swallowed water, and uh, I've mentioned
39:42
Speaker 1: this in the podcast before, but it's one of the
39:45
Speaker 1: worst parts of the season was a lot of people
39:47
Speaker 1: got dysenterior, like got super sick from that date. And
39:50
Speaker 1: the girls were so sick to their stomach and I
39:53
Speaker 1: was so sick to my stomach that we actually had
39:55
Speaker 1: to cancel. I don't remember this the cocktail party in
39:58
Speaker 1: the Bahamas, because no he could stand in the same
40:01
Speaker 1: room for long enough to have a cocktail part. Yeah,
40:04
Speaker 1: it was bad. We all got super sick. I feel
40:06
Speaker 1: like that was the most dramatic week, like emotionally, and
40:08
Speaker 1: then we all physically got sick and it was just
40:10
Speaker 1: like a disaster that week. But it was the hardest
40:14
Speaker 1: meek for me by far. But now, Abanda, you got
40:21
Speaker 1: to be on like the coveted Warsaw Indiana day. To
40:24
Speaker 1: you what, I'm a Ferriss wheel. Everybody in his town
40:28
Speaker 1: came out for it. How much pressure was there and
40:31
Speaker 1: how much does that day to stick out in your head? Still?
40:34
Speaker 1: I feel like that was probably my most memorable day.
40:36
Speaker 1: And I feel like we were kind of into this
40:39
Speaker 1: bubble and I never had any public dates before that,
40:41
Speaker 1: so that was the first time I kind of felt
40:43
Speaker 1: like I was seeing like the real real world and
40:46
Speaker 1: like the little bubble we're in, it's real. Um. But yeah,
40:51
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like there was a lot of
40:52
Speaker 1: pressure that that day, just meeting so many people and
40:55
Speaker 1: being out, but it was fun. Yes, I mean I
40:59
Speaker 1: remember that to you. I don't remember like it's my
41:01
Speaker 1: my hometown, super small, and everybody there was saying hi,
41:04
Speaker 1: and we were trying to like actually have a date
41:05
Speaker 1: and walk through like the crowd, and everybody was like
41:08
Speaker 1: taking pictures and being like kiss kiss, kiss, and we
41:11
Speaker 1: like a mess. Yeah, it was kind of overstimulating, but
41:16
Speaker 1: it was fun. That's right. Hey, we just I watched
41:20
Speaker 1: the screener already and uh, your two little girls are
41:24
Speaker 1: a part of this episode. They're so tiny during this
41:28
Speaker 1: Um are you What was it like? I guess being
41:32
Speaker 1: a mom of two on this show and now looking
41:36
Speaker 1: back on it, what was you know? What's your experience? Like,
41:39
Speaker 1: I mean back then, I feel like I really had
41:41
Speaker 1: no idea what I was signing up for, like genuinely
41:43
Speaker 1: had no idea. But it was crazy. But I mean
41:45
Speaker 1: the kids love it, Like they still think it's cool.
41:48
Speaker 1: I've showed them their little clips. They haven't watched the
41:50
Speaker 1: little thing. But I think it was crazy. I didn't
41:52
Speaker 1: know I was gonna be the only single mom and
41:56
Speaker 1: it was a lot, but I think it was good
41:57
Speaker 1: for me. It definitely forced me to come out of
41:59
Speaker 1: my comfort zone a little, so it's good when it
42:02
Speaker 1: comes to moms on the show. I feel like you're
42:05
Speaker 1: the first every person people think of when you know,
42:09
Speaker 1: when it comes to like being a single mom and
42:12
Speaker 1: like having your kids on the show. How much pressure
42:16
Speaker 1: is that to just be one of the Bachelor moms.
42:20
Speaker 1: I think it's a lot of pressure because you feel
42:21
Speaker 1: like all of us get judged for like every little thing,
42:24
Speaker 1: and then on top of it, we also get judged
42:26
Speaker 1: for being a mom going on the show, for introducing
42:29
Speaker 1: my kids on the show, and I feel like it
42:31
Speaker 1: just kind of adds like a different element into it. Um.
42:35
Speaker 1: I obviously love one of the Bachelor moms. Um, but
42:38
Speaker 1: I do think I've dealt with a lot of criticism
42:41
Speaker 1: because I am a mom, right, I've gotten used to.
42:45
Speaker 1: I got one more question before we let her go, Ben,
42:47
Speaker 1: do you have anything else? Well? Yeah, I mean, and
42:49
Speaker 1: then I'll let you finish up here as But I'm
42:51
Speaker 1: just gonna say, you know, what are the cool parts?
42:53
Speaker 1: And part of this this episode of Almost Famous podcast
42:56
Speaker 1: is hopefully celebrating the women who are part of this
42:58
Speaker 1: season because it does mean a lot to me, and
43:01
Speaker 1: you know that we've been able to stay in contact
43:03
Speaker 1: and and we've seen each other since then, but it
43:06
Speaker 1: does mean so much that these women gave up their
43:08
Speaker 1: time and energy to come. So with all that being said,
43:11
Speaker 1: I remember Amanda on Night one how shy uh kind
43:15
Speaker 1: of reserved you are, and you were really through the
43:17
Speaker 1: whole season. Now you're one of the most recognizable figures
43:20
Speaker 1: from the franchise. Ever, how are you dealing with that?
43:24
Speaker 1: How are you personally? Uh? And what is it like
43:27
Speaker 1: to be such a star? Oh that's very sweet. Um,
43:32
Speaker 1: I don't really think. I think I was so nervous
43:35
Speaker 1: and I like, actually, I heard you stated it was
43:37
Speaker 1: like super natural for you to be on camera, and
43:39
Speaker 1: I don't feel all the same for men. Now. I
43:42
Speaker 1: think I have a hard time, like fully being myself
43:44
Speaker 1: on camera for some reason. Um, it's just not something
43:47
Speaker 1: that I'm great at. Um. But yeah, I mean it's good.
43:51
Speaker 1: I mean I think we've all seen you know, there's
43:53
Speaker 1: so many opportunities and there's so much good that comes
43:55
Speaker 1: from the show, so it outweighs the negative. Yeah, I agree,
44:01
Speaker 1: And I'm sorry that I have to ask about your
44:03
Speaker 1: bestie again. But what's what's going on with Andy and Nick?
44:07
Speaker 1: Was that just an innocent run? I mean, I'm not
44:11
Speaker 1: going to speak on that, but we canna she'll kill
44:14
Speaker 1: me if I call her down here and ask her. Okay, Amanda,
44:21
Speaker 1: we love you, um, we appreciate you, thank you for
44:25
Speaker 1: coming on. Uh please, somebody's asking Amanda, what is your book?
44:28
Speaker 1: Where can they find it? And what is the one
44:30
Speaker 1: thing they can put you most in right now? So
44:32
Speaker 1: you can find a book anywhere the books are sold.
44:35
Speaker 1: And I also my clothing line, Lonnie the label it's
44:37
Speaker 1: Lonnie the label dot com um and yeah, my Instagram
44:41
Speaker 1: is at Amanda Underscore Stanton Awesome and have been a
44:45
Speaker 1: pleasure to watch her in this whole thing. Tell her
44:47
Speaker 1: she has some nice feet. And it's really really great
44:49
Speaker 1: to see Amanda having hope to see by all right,
45:06
Speaker 1: Emily and Haley are up next. The twins. Ben, what
45:10
Speaker 1: did you think when you had a set of sisters
45:13
Speaker 1: coming to vie for your heart? I mean, honestly, it's
45:16
Speaker 1: one of the only reactions I think on night one
45:19
Speaker 1: that I remember because it is that, like, holy cow,
45:22
Speaker 1: there's two of them. They're beautiful. I don't know what
45:24
Speaker 1: to do with myself. Hello Twins, nothing has changed you, guys.
45:34
Speaker 1: How long did it take Ben to be able to
45:37
Speaker 1: tell you to apart? Ben? Did did you ever ever
45:42
Speaker 1: you were ever able, but you acted like you could. Yeah.
45:45
Speaker 1: I just didn't say their names. Yeah, okay, go ahead,
45:54
Speaker 1: bed Well, I was just gonna say, you know, it's
45:56
Speaker 1: really great to see you both. You're you're shining. I
45:59
Speaker 1: just want to start this by saying, following your Instagrams
46:02
Speaker 1: is one thing in my life that brings me a
46:03
Speaker 1: ton of joy because you both are just glowing and
46:06
Speaker 1: happy and it's so nice to see you here. Actually sorry,
46:09
Speaker 1: take away, Oh no, I mean I completely agree with him.
46:13
Speaker 1: You guys are both really happy looking relationships. Yes, finally, Holy,
46:19
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was gonna happen. Do you guys
46:22
Speaker 1: feel like the guys that you're with now are are
46:24
Speaker 1: the forever thing? I feel like with Emily for sure.
46:27
Speaker 1: You've been with your boyfriend for how many years? In
46:29
Speaker 1: at least three? Almost three. I'm just waiting for my
46:32
Speaker 1: ring whenever it's coming. I don't know when is the
46:36
Speaker 1: ring coming soon? Because you would know? Oh, I don't
46:39
Speaker 1: never tell me because he knows I can't keep my
46:42
Speaker 1: mouth shut. Yeah, she would tell me. She's ruined like
46:44
Speaker 1: every Christmas gift for me so far. And Haley, how
46:49
Speaker 1: long have you been with your boyfriend only six months,
46:52
Speaker 1: so this is pretty new, but I'm feeling really confident.
46:54
Speaker 1: But he's definitely the one. I wouldn't be surprised if
46:56
Speaker 1: he proposed to her before Will proposed to me. What
46:59
Speaker 1: I love about your two current relationships is that usually
47:03
Speaker 1: you two don't um, you don't like each other's boyfriends,
47:07
Speaker 1: but it seems like you guys have full approval. Well,
47:11
Speaker 1: I picked this guy for her because she's not good
47:13
Speaker 1: at picking, so I picked this guy for her. He's
47:16
Speaker 1: the sweetest, just the absolute best, and I adore him.
47:19
Speaker 1: And then obviously Willing, he feels like my brother, so nice?
47:25
Speaker 1: Are you? Uh, well, we're gonna get to the show
47:27
Speaker 1: here because obviously that's airing tonight. Are you at all nervous? What? What?
47:32
Speaker 1: How do you view the show now? I mean, we're
47:35
Speaker 1: not gonna live in We're a little ashamed of how
47:38
Speaker 1: we acted a little bit. Some of the things we
47:40
Speaker 1: did were very immature. We were little a holes, But
47:43
Speaker 1: it's okay. We were twenty two years old and we
47:47
Speaker 1: were young. And I will say, like I just did
47:50
Speaker 1: a because I am a little nervous for it to air.
47:53
Speaker 1: But I was just saying like me and Haley, I'm sorry, Ben,
47:56
Speaker 1: We're not on the show for the right reason for
47:59
Speaker 1: me to we had exactly No. I mean it was
48:06
Speaker 1: so much fun and we had a great time. We
48:08
Speaker 1: made so many good friends, Like it was an experience
48:11
Speaker 1: of a lifetime for sure. How was it dating one guy?
48:15
Speaker 1: Have you, guys, ever fought over a guy before? And
48:18
Speaker 1: did you even think that you were at all fighting
48:20
Speaker 1: for Ben on the show? No, I didn't ever feel
48:25
Speaker 1: like I was fighting with like so many other girls
48:28
Speaker 1: were there too. I honestly just felt like we didn't
48:30
Speaker 1: even stand a chance. So I was to other girls
48:32
Speaker 1: were so pretty, I know, and like people were forming
48:35
Speaker 1: relationships been so fast. I mean they're like, we're just
48:39
Speaker 1: friends with each other. I don't know. I couldn't like,
48:43
Speaker 1: I mean, we hardly got time. I feel like, you know,
48:45
Speaker 1: to talk to the Bachelor. I think a lot of
48:47
Speaker 1: people don't realize such you have such little time with
48:50
Speaker 1: the Bachelor that like you better make it good and memorable.
48:53
Speaker 1: I mean, Hailey were always like, we don't eat vegetables,
48:56
Speaker 1: we don't did this Like yeah, Ben was like these
48:59
Speaker 1: girl thirls are keepers. That is one of the one
49:03
Speaker 1: things I do remember is when you told me that
49:04
Speaker 1: you don't eat vegetables, and so that my fault was, like, well,
49:07
Speaker 1: what do you eat? Thinking like there's alternatives, it's like
49:10
Speaker 1: chicken nuggets and mac and cheese. Not Yes, is the
49:18
Speaker 1: only guy that both of you have ever dated at
49:20
Speaker 1: the same time? Yes, Yes, I feel honored. Yeah, going
49:26
Speaker 1: off of that Ben, it was awkward enough having it
49:29
Speaker 1: to dump, you know, every girl that that was there
49:33
Speaker 1: wasn't even weirder to dump Hailey and keep Emily. Yeah,
49:38
Speaker 1: it was. And I think they could probably test this dude, Like,
49:41
Speaker 1: you know, you have people on every season that you
49:43
Speaker 1: just really love and like get along with and enjoy
49:46
Speaker 1: and even if there's not the like romantic spark, as
49:48
Speaker 1: much like you enjoy it. And so the twins are
49:51
Speaker 1: that for everybody, Like both of them are loved by
49:53
Speaker 1: everybody because they're just hilarious and fun and uplifting. So
49:57
Speaker 1: saying goodbye to either of them was hard, but it
49:58
Speaker 1: was really weird to have, Like you have to process
50:01
Speaker 1: how I was going to say goodbye to a sister
50:04
Speaker 1: and keep the other sister, and like what the repercussions
50:07
Speaker 1: of that would be, Like that's not something they prep
50:09
Speaker 1: you for. Yeah, no, not at all. And you dumped
50:12
Speaker 1: her the day before our birthday. I don't know if
50:13
Speaker 1: you knowed. Yeah, and so that was the first birthday
50:16
Speaker 1: we spent a part so and it was weird. Do
50:19
Speaker 1: you remember that because there was like a cake or
50:21
Speaker 1: something that there was. Yeah, you guys celebrated even from
50:25
Speaker 1: a distance. Isn't that. I know we're about to be
50:27
Speaker 1: from a distance because she's moving to Sweden. Oh you
50:31
Speaker 1: are moving to Sweden. Oh my god, you guys. My
50:34
Speaker 1: sister is moving back to Virginia. And I thought that
50:38
Speaker 1: that was going to be difficult on me. Yeah, we're
50:41
Speaker 1: going to be complete different times zones. Oh my god,
50:44
Speaker 1: like far apart. Oh yeah, depending on the travel band.
50:49
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be August, so pretty soon. Is it
50:52
Speaker 1: going to be a full time thing or is it no?
50:55
Speaker 1: Just during the hockey season so like six. But but
50:58
Speaker 1: the sad part is is during summer she's in Sweden
51:01
Speaker 1: and during summer's all be in Vegas. We switched off,
51:03
Speaker 1: like we're probably never going to see each so we don't.
51:05
Speaker 1: We're going to figure it out. But yeah, it's gonna
51:07
Speaker 1: be hardy, but it's time to grow up, right, You
51:12
Speaker 1: have to get in the end. It's good for you.
51:14
Speaker 1: People are really sad. In the message board, they said
51:17
Speaker 1: that Uhret direct quote is Homeboy better proposed before? Then?
51:23
Speaker 1: I like that. Hey, we gotta dig in real quick
51:26
Speaker 1: for one second, because tonight's episode there's a big focus
51:29
Speaker 1: on Olivia and uh and kind of her experience in
51:32
Speaker 1: the show and how hard it was for her. And
51:34
Speaker 1: I do know that the two of you obviously were two,
51:37
Speaker 1: you've grown up. Is there anything as people are watching this,
51:41
Speaker 1: is there anything you'd like to get out publicly about
51:43
Speaker 1: your experience with Olivia on the show and how you
51:45
Speaker 1: feel about it now? Oh gosh, I mean, I just
51:48
Speaker 1: would I mean if if I like felt comfortable enough,
51:51
Speaker 1: and maybe if Olivia felt comfortable enough. Like, we're totally
51:55
Speaker 1: so sorry about all that, and me and Haley did
51:58
Speaker 1: not mean any of the stuff we said and look
52:00
Speaker 1: back on it as like a mature adult. It was
52:02
Speaker 1: completely uncalled for and just just big fat a holes. Yeah,
52:06
Speaker 1: just a little brat, just trying to get fifteen minutes
52:09
Speaker 1: of fame, just trying to like, just totally so awful.
52:13
Speaker 1: So if she's watching this or ever sees this, we're
52:16
Speaker 1: sorry and would love to talk to her on the
52:17
Speaker 1: phone if she'd want to, And I mean if, I
52:20
Speaker 1: don't think she would ever want to. I know, And
52:22
Speaker 1: you know, it's weird that we've never even had like
52:25
Speaker 1: a text conversation or a phone conversation four years later
52:28
Speaker 1: to even say sorry. And I guess that might be
52:30
Speaker 1: our fault because we've never even reached out. But I
52:33
Speaker 1: just don't think she would want I know, I don't
52:35

54:23
Speaker 1: I got some questions. I've been taking careful notes all night.
54:25
Speaker 1: This has been a really fun show. But let's get
54:28
Speaker 1: to some of these questions real quick, East and I'm
54:30
Speaker 1: sorry I did please get this part. My fiance Jessica
54:34
Speaker 1: Clark uh intended on being here and when we originally
54:37
Speaker 1: booked her to be here, Uh, she was not in
54:41
Speaker 1: school and she just started estheticians school today. She has
54:44
Speaker 1: an eight hour day. She doesn't get out until like
54:47
Speaker 1: three more minutes from now. I'm hoping she can still
54:50
Speaker 1: call in if she can't. Um, I am sorry about that.
54:55
Speaker 1: We are doing fantastic, we are so in love, we
54:57
Speaker 1: are planning our wedding. Um. I we will get her
55:01
Speaker 1: on the Almost Famous podcast Uh soon. I do apologize.
55:05
Speaker 1: I know that was said that she was going to
55:07
Speaker 1: be on here. Um. But because of school, which is
55:10
Speaker 1: something we all are super excited about for her, she
55:12
Speaker 1: couldn't be here tonight. So I'm so excited. I should
55:15
Speaker 1: probably get Jared since there are a lot of comments
55:18
Speaker 1: because he was all all carry until you can get them.
55:23
Speaker 1: Go get Jared and Ben. We'll see this. First question
55:25
Speaker 1: this is for you, would you ever run for office? Uh?
55:30
Speaker 1: You know there was a time in my life that
55:32
Speaker 1: I did run for office. Uh. I don't know if
55:35
Speaker 1: you remember this season, but I did run. Uh. It
55:38
Speaker 1: was before though I feel like the political climate became
55:42
Speaker 1: what it is today. Oh well, he'll be out there
55:46
Speaker 1: in a second. We'll have him at the end. Um.
55:48
Speaker 1: I was very excited in short here when I ran
55:52
Speaker 1: for office. I was really excited to be uh in
55:55
Speaker 1: the middle and to understand each side and to try
55:58
Speaker 1: to process through different people's opinions and comes to truth somehow,
56:02
Speaker 1: some way. I feel like it's harder right now, no
56:05
Speaker 1: matter what side you're on, and this is not a
56:07
Speaker 1: political conversation to get there. And so I want to
56:09
Speaker 1: wait and kind of see how things shake up here,
56:12
Speaker 1: especially the next election in the elections following. But I
56:16
Speaker 1: do have an interest in running for office again. It
56:18
Speaker 1: is something that I care about and enjoy. Um, But
56:21
Speaker 1: the timing needs to be right and right now, I mean,
56:24
Speaker 1: I'm almost almost famous. Podcast like, well you got my vote,
56:31
Speaker 1: thank you. That's exciting, that's exciting news. Um. Okay, Amy
56:35
Speaker 1: Koontz says, who is your best friend from the franchise
56:39
Speaker 1: and Ashley you can't say Jared. Okay, So my best
56:44
Speaker 1: girlfriend from the franchise would be between Jade and Becca,
56:49
Speaker 1: and then my best guy friend from the franchise, uh Ben,
56:56
Speaker 1: and then Nick and Tanner. Yeah, you know, it's easy,
57:01
Speaker 1: you know for me East and I. I have a
57:03
Speaker 1: hard time answering this question because I think Ashley would agree,
57:06
Speaker 1: Like the list is long, Like Ashley and I especially
57:09
Speaker 1: have really good friendships that are like actually meaningful friendships
57:12
Speaker 1: in our life from this show. But the best girlfriend
57:15
Speaker 1: that I have from the show has to be Ashley.
57:17
Speaker 1: I mean, I I talked to this girl every week
57:19
Speaker 1: the last three years, and we've never I don't think
57:22
Speaker 1: gotten mad at each other. No, I know we haven't
57:26
Speaker 1: um and I I want to second what Becca said earlier,
57:30
Speaker 1: like whenever you have like any sort of like moral
57:34
Speaker 1: conflict in your life or like you don't know how
57:36
Speaker 1: to move forward with something, whether it's bes business or
57:39
Speaker 1: a personal relationship, Ben is the person to go to
57:42
Speaker 1: for advice. Thank you. Best guy friends, I don't even
57:48
Speaker 1: know if I can answer that. I mean, I would
57:49
Speaker 1: have to go through like the Jared's, Dean's Wells, Nick's
57:53
Speaker 1: um souls like those guys. And there's a huge list,
57:57
Speaker 1: uh in my life that of people that mean a
57:59
Speaker 1: lot to me from the show. But you know, Jared,
58:02
Speaker 1: when I'm around Jared, and I just don't say this
58:04
Speaker 1: because actually is here. She knows just like the dude
58:06
Speaker 1: is just an uplifting fellow. Like the guy is such
58:09
Speaker 1: an encouragement that it's hard not to say. Like when
58:12
Speaker 1: I think of people that I want to have and
58:14
Speaker 1: hang out with from the franchise, like jeareds at the
58:17
Speaker 1: top of that list every time. Thanks, Jared's Jared's the best.
58:22
Speaker 1: I love that guy. Okay, I'm interested in to answer
58:26
Speaker 1: this question. This is from l R Oak Sport team.
58:30
Speaker 1: What tips would you give to a new podcast host?
58:34
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm, Um, I would say probably try not to
58:43
Speaker 1: censor yourself and will of course be your best and
58:46
Speaker 1: you're not your best most you you can be with
58:50
Speaker 1: a microphone in front of you. But I think where
58:53
Speaker 1: we get in trouble or where we feel we're not
58:56
Speaker 1: our best is when we get too careful about what
59:00
Speaker 1: we said. That's it. Yeah, because you know, as a
59:03
Speaker 1: podcast as my advice would be a you know, try
59:05
Speaker 1: to even if uh, even if your opinion is that
59:08
Speaker 1: you don't have one, at least voice your opinion because
59:12
Speaker 1: if not, just the genuineness doesn't really come out. Also,
59:15
Speaker 1: the thing is, um, I don't know if this is
59:18
Speaker 1: like advice or what I but before every podcast I
59:20
Speaker 1: sit down, I take five deep breath so that like
59:23
Speaker 1: I'm I'm like calm, so I can come into the
59:26
Speaker 1: podcast and try not to have my podcast voice on.
59:30
Speaker 1: It just hard sometimes, But that's funny because when I
59:33
Speaker 1: was in grad school, they were like, your poor voice
59:36
Speaker 1: should be the same as your regular voice. And it's
59:39
Speaker 1: still hard. It's really really hard to do. So yeah,
59:43
Speaker 1: that's that's my advice. A couple of people have been
59:46
Speaker 1: asking where I got my sweatshirt and I just want
59:48
Speaker 1: to shout it out because it is a Bachelor fan
59:50
Speaker 1: who sent me an email and then said that you
59:53
Speaker 1: wanted to make me something tidy, and if they're really cool,
59:57
Speaker 1: maybe this and another tank and it's ex s tracked
1:00:00
Speaker 1: the label e x t R A C T the
1:00:05
Speaker 1: label dot com. They're on Instagram to you also have
1:00:08
Speaker 1: you on a label with my company, my fan Threads
1:00:10
Speaker 1: at my fan threads dot com. Actually Jeared designed a
1:00:13
Speaker 1: sweatshirt a T shirt, so you can go check that
1:00:14
Speaker 1: out too. In case you guys need more close, we
1:00:18
Speaker 1: have places you can get them. All right, we got
1:00:22
Speaker 1: time for a couple more questions. Danielle Nebit asks how
1:00:25
Speaker 1: much does Chris Harrison help you work through your feelings
1:00:28
Speaker 1: as a lead off camera. That question would be for
1:00:31
Speaker 1: just Ben because he really only talks to the leads
1:00:35
Speaker 1: when it comes to emotion. Yeah a lot. Chris was
1:00:38
Speaker 1: coming over quite a bit, especially towards the end. Um,
1:00:41
Speaker 1: we would watch football together. After that long day, we
1:00:44
Speaker 1: talk golf, and then anytime I needed to like chat
1:00:47
Speaker 1: with him, he was always there. Chris is is still
1:00:50
Speaker 1: this day. And I mean he's a good friend of mine.
1:00:52
Speaker 1: He's a guy to look up to you that I admire,
1:00:55
Speaker 1: so may I don't. I don't know if it's different
1:00:57
Speaker 1: with other leads, but like we stay close, Um, and
1:01:00
Speaker 1: he's around quite a bit. I would say whenever I
1:01:03
Speaker 1: needed and he would be there sometimes though he just
1:01:05
Speaker 1: wants to show up and like watch football, like that's
1:01:08
Speaker 1: all he want. He doesn't even want to talk show.
1:01:09
Speaker 1: He just wants to hang out, which is good. I
1:01:13
Speaker 1: love that. Okay, Um, we got one more question. I
1:01:17
Speaker 1: see someone in the chat keep asking how I got
1:01:18
Speaker 1: into my job role. I wanted contest, that's the answer. Um,
1:01:23
Speaker 1: so yeah, that's how they give these jobs out. I'm
1:01:31
Speaker 1: I wanted to happy meal. Okay, last question this is
1:01:34
Speaker 1: for Ashley from Chris he is Ashley, did you work
1:01:37
Speaker 1: on a quarantine baby? No. I was pretty open on
1:01:41
Speaker 1: Instagram the other day that, uh, I'm still on birth
1:01:44
Speaker 1: control and horrified to get off of it because of
1:01:48
Speaker 1: my acne. Yeah. I saw that. I saw that you
1:01:53
Speaker 1: you with just being an institution school. You can talk
1:01:55
Speaker 1: to her about the downside of that. Now she didn't
1:01:58
Speaker 1: help you get that fixed. Love to she and I
1:02:01
Speaker 1: both share that passion. Well. One two less question I
1:02:04
Speaker 1: saw that I want to answer. One is will we
1:02:06
Speaker 1: be coming to Canada for the live show? Uh? So
1:02:09
Speaker 1: far yes, Like that was the original schedule that was
1:02:11
Speaker 1: supposed to come out, but we've been pushing it back.
1:02:14
Speaker 1: So the hope is to come to Canada for the
1:02:15
Speaker 1: live show. The next is one I just love to
1:02:17
Speaker 1: hear an Ashley answer. Uh, And I don't even need
1:02:20
Speaker 1: to because you can explain it. What's the Bachelor Mansion? Like,
1:02:23
Speaker 1: like really truly, what is the Bachelor Mansion? Like? It's beautiful,
1:02:26
Speaker 1: it's super opulent. It makes you feel like you're in
1:02:29
Speaker 1: another country. It kind of makes you feel like you're
1:02:31
Speaker 1: in the Mediterranean, and it's like a mix of cozy
1:02:36
Speaker 1: and it's like Honestly, it's cozy. It's a big house,
1:02:42
Speaker 1: but when you have that many people in it, it's
1:02:44
Speaker 1: not like this. It's not sprawling. You're not like losing
1:02:49
Speaker 1: people in it. You just you can honestly go to
1:02:51
Speaker 1: the foyer and be like yo, Ben and they'll be
1:02:55
Speaker 1: able to hear you. So it's a great house to
1:02:58
Speaker 1: live in. Yeah, it's a great house to student. Um, hey, Ashley,
1:03:02
Speaker 1: you're the best. We should sign off here Eastern. Will
