- 0:14Speaker 1: it's a two part week when it comes to the
- 0:17Speaker 1: airing of the show. So we're gonna break down the
- 0:20Speaker 1: first half of this episode here in the first twenty minutes.
- 0:24Speaker 1: Then the host of the show, Jesse Palmer, is going
- 0:27Speaker 1: to join Ashley I Connettie for the kind of middle part.
- 0:31Speaker 1: I'd say the climax if you will, And then towards
- 0:34Speaker 1: end the show, Ashley will finish the recap. I'm on
- 0:37Speaker 1: my way to Nashville, Tennessee for the Love One event.
- 0:41Speaker 1: This is an incredible um nonprofit that Jessica's best friend
- 0:45Speaker 1: helps run. So I've got to jump on a plane. Uh,
- 0:49Speaker 1: the show didn't ask me my schedule. ABC did. ABC
- 0:53Speaker 1: did not asking me my schedule when they aired two
- 0:55Speaker 1: episodes this week. So that's where we're at. Ashley, let's
- 0:59Speaker 1: take it away right from the starts. I want to
- 1:00Speaker 1: be here for all of this goodness. You watch the
- 1:04Speaker 1: episode last night, you are a resident expert. I watched
- 1:08Speaker 1: Stop that stop that you don't like why why am
- 1:12Speaker 1: I more? But why am I more of an expert
- 1:14Speaker 1: than you? You're the bachelor? Yeah, I don't always understand
- 1:18Speaker 1: these scenarios like you do. Okay, So we have the
- 1:22Speaker 1: Gabby and Eric situation kind of rolling over um from
- 1:27Speaker 1: the episode before. I don't want to see this one end,
- 1:31Speaker 1: I will say, Ashley, what do you think you don't
- 1:34Speaker 1: want to see the relationship end? Or do you want
- 1:35Speaker 1: to see this episode end? Well? I don't want to
- 1:38Speaker 1: see this relationship Okay? Well? Same, So she like takes
- 1:44Speaker 1: a quick break to really like to like you know,
- 1:46Speaker 1: like soak things in, yeah, and then comes back to him,
- 1:50Speaker 1: but apparently they still think kind of like leave things
- 1:52Speaker 1: unsolved even though they're like hug and kiss, but she
- 1:56Speaker 1: still doesn't feel great about him once she leaves. Do
- 2:00Speaker 1: you think this is one of those scenarios actually where
- 2:03Speaker 1: you're dating somebody, you're so attracted to them, you like,
- 2:08Speaker 1: everything's going so well, and then something happens and you
- 2:11Speaker 1: feel like some will say it's a red flag. I
- 2:13Speaker 1: feel like that's pretty harsh, But you just see something
- 2:16Speaker 1: where you're like, I'm no longer as interested as I
- 2:19Speaker 1: was before like, do you think she's been I don't
- 2:23Speaker 1: hurt is not the right word. Do you think she's
- 2:25Speaker 1: been convinced that maybe this is not her? Guy, I
- 2:30Speaker 1: don't think you can be convinced with just one moment
- 2:33Speaker 1: like this unless there's a series of red flags that
- 2:35Speaker 1: we don't know about. Yeah, well so I don't know
- 2:40Speaker 1: again like we said dat, yeah, and like we said
- 2:44Speaker 1: yesterday's podcast, like I just have complicated feelings about this.
- 2:49Speaker 1: While you don't want that got to be giving you
- 2:51Speaker 1: tests or ultimatums, which I don't think it's an ultimatum.
- 2:55Speaker 1: You also don't want him to be like, yeah, you
- 2:58Speaker 1: go have fun and sleep with everyone else, like you
- 3:01Speaker 1: kind of want some balance. He's not telling you don't.
- 3:05Speaker 1: We've seen this done so many times, way worse. Yeah,
- 3:12Speaker 1: this is not a New Sinaire. This is not not
- 3:14Speaker 1: Luke no, gosh no, no, not even close. This is
- 3:19Speaker 1: this is I think. Um. I just feel like maybe
- 3:22Speaker 1: he didn't get his words out perfectly, but I don't
- 3:24Speaker 1: know if he needed to. I think he said what
- 3:26Speaker 1: he said is mostly I care about you and this
- 3:29Speaker 1: is hard for me. Well. Yeah, one thing that's interesting
- 3:32Speaker 1: about these last two episodes Actuley's we've seen more of
- 3:35Speaker 1: Jesse Palmer than I feel like we've seen in the
- 3:36Speaker 1: first two years or first two season of him hosting
- 3:39Speaker 1: the show. He steps into talk to Gabby, why are
- 3:43Speaker 1: they using Jesse so much? And as I think from
- 3:48Speaker 1: a girl's perspective, because Twitter has multiple different opinions on this,
- 3:54Speaker 1: do you feel like he consoles correctly or healthily or well?
- 3:58Speaker 1: Or does he help or do he hurt? Actually, when
- 4:01Speaker 1: you watch Jesse Palmer, I guess is the best question.
- 4:04Speaker 1: Do you feel like he's somebody you would like to
- 4:05Speaker 1: talk to? Well, yeah, I'm talking to him in fifteen minutes.
- 4:12Speaker 1: Why explain why from your perspective he's somebody as a
- 4:16Speaker 1: host of this show, You're like, I wouldn't mind if
- 4:17Speaker 1: he stepped into my room and how to chat with
- 4:20Speaker 1: me when I'm in my in a low place. Well
- 4:22Speaker 1: I can, actually, yeah, just speak from experience and say,
- 4:24Speaker 1: whenever he's on this podcast, he is very easy to
- 4:28Speaker 1: talk to. You could just ramble to him bla la
- 4:32Speaker 1: la la la la la joke. He's kind of like lighthearted,
- 4:35Speaker 1: I don't know. He brings us certain like levity and
- 4:39Speaker 1: understanding to things. I would agree I mean I do.
- 4:44Speaker 1: I you know, I think people's opinions are different, right,
- 4:46Speaker 1: some people are still in the Hey, Caitlin and Tasia
- 4:50Speaker 1: were ones that you'd want to console with. I feel
- 4:52Speaker 1: like Jesse is doing a great job. I have nothing
- 4:55Speaker 1: but good things to say about him. Uh. People could
- 4:58Speaker 1: have their opinions on who they would like more. I
- 4:59Speaker 1: think he's doing a great job. I think he's being
- 5:01Speaker 1: like being very welcoming and helping relieve some of the
- 5:05Speaker 1: pressure in the stress. So I'm yes, I would say
- 5:10Speaker 1: that I wouldn't mind talking to Jesse. I wish I
- 5:13Speaker 1: could be here to talk to Jesse today. Nice man. Okay,
- 5:17Speaker 1: So we move in from the Jesse and Gabby conversation
- 5:22Speaker 1: to the Gabby and Jason overnight, which might be the
- 5:26Speaker 1: overnight I was most looking forward to because this is
- 5:29Speaker 1: the one relationship. And I've said this before, I just
- 5:32Speaker 1: don't see I don't feel it. I don't get it.
- 5:35Speaker 1: Um And I was more convinced of why I feel
- 5:38Speaker 1: that way after watching this overnight. Okay, So they have
- 5:41Speaker 1: their a little fun time in the pool where I'm
- 5:43Speaker 1: actually vibing them. Yeah, they're like. They continue that vibe
- 5:48Speaker 1: into dinner and Jason is like, I'm going to have
- 5:52Speaker 1: to tell Gabby exactly like my thoughts right now, which
- 5:56Speaker 1: is that basically, I would never get engaged after a show.
- 6:02Speaker 1: I think that I know her a little bit, but
- 6:06Speaker 1: obviously not like real stuff, because I feel like this
- 6:11Speaker 1: is all a show and I would really need to
- 6:13Speaker 1: know her off TV too to explore a serious relationship.
- 6:18Speaker 1: And yeah, like I'm not very comfortable in front of
- 6:22Speaker 1: the cameras. Is this like all Magic Hour? Blah blah blah.
- 6:25Speaker 1: I'm saying this was such tone because like, this guy
- 6:28Speaker 1: deserves tone at this point. It sucks because I think
- 6:31Speaker 1: we've all really liked Jason, but he I know, he
- 6:35Speaker 1: gets none of my sympathy in this moment. Well, and
- 6:40Speaker 1: we hear Gabby make a lot of comments, uh, you
- 6:42Speaker 1: know that they have this great connection, and Jason says
- 6:45Speaker 1: that they understand each other at a deep level. Whatever
- 6:49Speaker 1: that means. I mean, I'm sure it means whatever they're feeling.
- 6:51Speaker 1: But again, why I'm not convinced that I understand this
- 6:56Speaker 1: relationship is because of the exact same things that he
- 6:58Speaker 1: sing and that Gabby sing is this experience has not
- 7:01Speaker 1: been comfortable for Jason. He isn't open up a lot.
- 7:04Speaker 1: You know. Well, I'm thinking you haven't been with him
- 7:07Speaker 1: without a camera on you. So if you're just going
- 7:09Speaker 1: this guy just doesn't open up a lot because he's
- 7:12Speaker 1: nervous around cameras, you have no clue what he's like
- 7:15Speaker 1: without a camera around, You have no idea if maybe
- 7:17Speaker 1: this is how he is all the time, which makes
- 7:21Speaker 1: me say, maybe maybe they don't. They don't know each
- 7:24Speaker 1: other well enough to get engaged, or they don't know
- 7:28Speaker 1: each other well enough to even continue this relationship. Because
- 7:32Speaker 1: both of them are kind of speaking of this. I
- 7:34Speaker 1: wish they'd do this. I wish he would be this,
- 7:37Speaker 1: Well he's not. Yeah. Also, when he said I'm not
- 7:42Speaker 1: in love with you, I've never seen somebody not like
- 7:48Speaker 1: wear a mask like she had it written all of
- 7:50Speaker 1: her face. And she was shocked to hear that, And
- 7:53Speaker 1: it was really sad because you could like kind of
- 7:55Speaker 1: feel the heart sink if you were in her body. Uh.
- 8:00Speaker 1: But yeah, it's interesting. I couldn't believe that she after that.
- 8:05Speaker 1: I did props to her, and I think it was
- 8:06Speaker 1: a good decision, but I also thought she would react
- 8:10Speaker 1: more emotionally. Um, she takes kind of a step back
- 8:14Speaker 1: and then comes back and says like she wants to
- 8:15Speaker 1: spend the night together so that they can have that time.
- 8:21Speaker 1: That was the right move. I didn't I knew in
- 8:24Speaker 1: that moment I wasn't gonna like change things, but I
- 8:28Speaker 1: also didn't think it would be as bad as it
- 8:30Speaker 1: was the morning after. The morning after, Gabby was like,
- 8:34Speaker 1: that's not it. He is not my person. Um. She
- 8:39Speaker 1: was just like, I can't believe that he hid all
- 8:42Speaker 1: this stuff for me for so long, all these feelings
- 8:45Speaker 1: about the show, and like the process do we have
- 8:50Speaker 1: and I'm blinking, do we have any idea of why
- 8:53Speaker 1: and when he left the room? I mean, we just
- 8:56Speaker 1: see the scene where they wake up and he's not there.
- 8:59Speaker 1: But do we know when he left exactly? No, because yeah,
- 9:03Speaker 1: you're right, like they don't wake up together. Maybe they
- 9:06Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure that they did, but they just
- 9:09Speaker 1: didn't show us that scene. They did show the scene
- 9:13Speaker 1: of her walking out, which kind of represented more as
- 9:16Speaker 1: to how she was feeling than being like I'll love
- 9:18Speaker 1: a debby in the morning, because that would have come
- 9:19Speaker 1: off pretty fake. Um, But I have to say, Gabby
- 9:24Speaker 1: skin so glowy like in the morning, Why does her
- 9:27Speaker 1: skin look perfect. It's like she must use Lockston or something.
- 9:30Speaker 1: You know that stuff that you know, that Lockston stuff
- 9:33Speaker 1: that we're obsessed with. The Immortel serum. It's so good.
- 9:39Speaker 1: It's smooth, fine lines and wrinkles. I was just telling
- 9:41Speaker 1: you how I am getting no sleep, Like I felt
- 9:45Speaker 1: like nauseous this morning, because like the lack of sleep
- 9:47Speaker 1: I've had the past few days. But I have to say,
- 9:50Speaker 1: I mean with the Immortel Overnight Reset I serum and
- 9:54Speaker 1: their Reset Face serum, I may look tired, but you don't.
- 9:59Speaker 1: But I'm not aging. Look good. Thank you, thanks, thank
- 10:04Speaker 1: you so much. So you could also get the Immortal
- 10:08Speaker 1: Divine Cream, which creates that brighter look, that more even
- 10:12Speaker 1: skin tone, which I which I definitely need um in
- 10:16Speaker 1: my life. You know, something that makes me look bright
- 10:19Speaker 1: and happy and you're alive. And it's also gentler on
- 10:21Speaker 1: your skin than rot and All, which is great. I
- 10:24Speaker 1: do use rat and All, but I alternate it. I
- 10:28Speaker 1: use it every couple of days and I use my
- 10:30Speaker 1: Immortal Divine Cream in between that. So we also love
- 10:35Speaker 1: that Lockston is committed to nature. They've been sustainably sourcing
- 10:38Speaker 1: ingredients since their beginning. So I know that I'm taking
- 10:43Speaker 1: care of nature as I'm taking care of my skin,
- 10:46Speaker 1: and that's another added benefit. I'm just a fan, I mean,
- 10:49Speaker 1: as I've said before, you know, I live with a
- 10:51Speaker 1: skincare expert. It's what a lot of our evenings consist
- 10:55Speaker 1: of talking about. And I do enjoy it. I learned
- 10:57Speaker 1: a lot from Jessica, but uh, one of her big dreams,
- 11:03Speaker 1: one of the best gifts I could give her is
- 11:05Speaker 1: to have a nighttime routine in a morning time routine,
- 11:09Speaker 1: and the Lockstown products have been a part of both,
- 11:11Speaker 1: and I think it's helping. I like it. I enjoy it,
- 11:14Speaker 1: so I stopped chasing after a thousand different skincare products.
- 11:17Speaker 1: I've tried a lot in my day, as I said,
- 11:19Speaker 1: trying to make my skincare routine just perfect for myself
- 11:23Speaker 1: and well for my wife. Lockstown has everything I need.
- 11:26Speaker 1: I invite you to try it and to get you started,

- 11:56Speaker 1: we've been talking about how beautiful Gabby looks in the
- 11:59Speaker 1: more she looks stunning. She wakes up glowing, she wakes
- 12:04Speaker 1: up looking like the bachelorette, and so we move on
- 12:08Speaker 1: to the next bachelor. At Rachel and Zach's overnight date.
- 12:12Speaker 1: This again is an interesting day to me for the
- 12:14Speaker 1: same reasons at some level of why Jason and Gabby's
- 12:20Speaker 1: overnight date was interesting me. The one thing about Zack
- 12:22Speaker 1: and I'm still holding on to Ashley, still holding on
- 12:26Speaker 1: to one moment the date where they watched the movie. Now,
- 12:31Speaker 1: I think that's a beautiful date, and I thought they
- 12:33Speaker 1: watched the movie about their childhood. Oh yes, they cried
- 12:39Speaker 1: and they laughed and they talked about their their upbrings.
- 12:43Speaker 1: And I felt like that was one of the moments
- 12:45Speaker 1: because we talked about in the last podcast that I
- 12:48Speaker 1: could see a connection being built, a trust being formed,
- 12:51Speaker 1: and an enjoyment of something that's not luxurious. You could
- 12:54Speaker 1: watch childhood movies at home anytime. This was obviously in
- 12:57Speaker 1: a movie theater, so it got expanded and blown up
- 12:59Speaker 1: a little it but I still felt like this was
- 13:01Speaker 1: a date that made me see that there is something
- 13:04Speaker 1: special between the two of them. Yes, but apparently Rachel
- 13:07Speaker 1: is not sold. And then I'm confused again because this
- 13:12Speaker 1: was the one this was the one couple. Now, I
- 13:15Speaker 1: get the Tina thing. I know they are into each other.
- 13:18Speaker 1: I get even Yeah, I understand that relationship. I understand
- 13:22Speaker 1: Eric like why that stuff is working. But I just
- 13:26Speaker 1: felt like Zach and rachel chemistry was one that I
- 13:29Speaker 1: at least had felt so at some point this season.
- 13:34Speaker 1: And that's why I'm confused, because they also had that
- 13:36Speaker 1: that date where they watched the planes go off. I
- 13:40Speaker 1: think Zach might be one of those guys that like
- 13:43Speaker 1: try so hard or he's so enthusiastic about it, he
- 13:46Speaker 1: might give you the ck a little bit over time. Okay,
- 13:49Speaker 1: you don't you understand? No, I do. I get it,
- 13:52Speaker 1: and especially on this show, you can, I will say,
- 13:55Speaker 1: as the lead, you can tell that fairly quickly, Like
- 13:59Speaker 1: are you just all he's putting on your best face
- 14:02Speaker 1: for me, and like there's no way you're that excited
- 14:05Speaker 1: about this experience like this, We're at this point, we're
- 14:08Speaker 1: both tired. This is kind of sucked. Like I'm you know,
- 14:11Speaker 1: having overnights with multiple people. You can't love that? Yeah,
- 14:15Speaker 1: you don't have to act like everything's perfect. He's not.
- 14:17Speaker 1: You know how yesterday we were talking about how like
- 14:20Speaker 1: Tino has like the swab a like haw guy in
- 14:22Speaker 1: high school type vibe, a little more edgy than the
- 14:25Speaker 1: other two. Yeah, like he is, Zach is anti edgy.
- 14:32Speaker 1: He's just like cookie cutter. Mr Boy scouts me. That's what. Yeah,
- 14:39Speaker 1: I know, but I don't know. You have like this
- 14:41Speaker 1: exception to you are the exception to the rule. Okay, yeah,
- 14:45Speaker 1: you got an edge, you do, yeah, I'll be crazy. Yeah,
- 14:48Speaker 1: oh I know I've seen you with whiskey. Okay, so
- 14:54Speaker 1: I just feel like now she's like, okay, you're just
- 14:58Speaker 1: too You're just so squee clean, you know. I just
- 15:02Speaker 1: feel like that's her vibe towards him. They go to
- 15:05Speaker 1: the psychic. What does the psychic say? Nothing? Like nothing
- 15:08Speaker 1: to me, as if it's even worth repeating. But they
- 15:12Speaker 1: tried to make it a theme and then they all
- 15:17Speaker 1: I love the way that with Zach. He goes they're
- 15:19Speaker 1: shopping around town, right and he says, this school just
- 15:22Speaker 1: stuck with me. He's like, we're doing everything in Mexico
- 15:24Speaker 1: that you'd want to do in Mexico. It's like buying
- 15:26Speaker 1: tourist things. Okay, so anyway, it's a very dad comment. Yes,
- 15:33Speaker 1: this guy is gonna be a great dad. Oh my god,
- 15:36Speaker 1: he's such a dad. He's gonna be so sweet. He
- 15:39Speaker 1: is a sweet man. But that comment is like, well,
- 15:43Speaker 1: I don't know Rachel flies plans for a living. Maybe,
- 15:46Speaker 1: like just buying stuff isn't her deal. She obviously has
- 15:48Speaker 1: some type of like adventurous side that she like if
- 15:52Speaker 1: she goes to Mexico, Like I could see Rachel wanting
- 15:54Speaker 1: to like jump off and bungee jump off a bridge. Yeah,
- 15:58Speaker 1: I think that's more her vibe. She that's one thousand
- 16:03Speaker 1: percent more her vibe. So I'm like picking up on
- 16:08Speaker 1: vibes that they're not like getting. There's like something she's
- 16:13Speaker 1: like not into it anymore, Like I'm picking up those
- 16:15Speaker 1: girl vibes. Um, But she continues to act like she's
- 16:19Speaker 1: into it. She wants him to go to the fantasy suite,
- 16:23Speaker 1: and then they go to the fantasy suite. I think
- 16:27Speaker 1: I even reward, like did I rewind? Because I was like, Okay,
- 16:30Speaker 1: we're just gonna close the doors and make this go
- 16:32Speaker 1: real fast. And then the morning, what do you mean
- 16:38Speaker 1: to make this go? Real fast. You know, sometimes you
- 16:42Speaker 1: feel like like was there more to that? Is there more?
- 16:45Speaker 1: Like they say a goodbye? Did they close the door?
- 16:47Speaker 1: Because you know, like in Paradise they're like good bye, goodbye.
- 16:51Speaker 1: But anyway, they it's all about the morning. Then, I
- 16:56Speaker 1: just I know you have to go soon, but we
- 16:58Speaker 1: have to talk about this morning what happened. I also
- 17:03Speaker 1: maybe this is what I was rewinding me, like did
- 17:05Speaker 1: I miss something? Where? Did we all miss something here?
- 17:08Speaker 1: Why is the drama happening in the fantasy suites? Didn't
- 17:12Speaker 1: you say yesterday? That's not fair to us as an
- 17:14Speaker 1: audience that the dramas happening in fantasy suites and we're
- 17:17Speaker 1: not getting it on camera. Well yeah, I mean maybe
- 17:21Speaker 1: I read that somewhere yesterday too, but well, yeah, I
- 17:24Speaker 1: don't remember seeing that exactly. I will say that I'm
- 17:26Speaker 1: in the camp of um. You know, fantasy suites are
- 17:30Speaker 1: a very private time. They're important for the couples. I
- 17:33Speaker 1: do think they're important for the process because you do
- 17:35Speaker 1: get to have conversations and just kind of let loose
- 17:37Speaker 1: a bit. I don't know if we need to be
- 17:40Speaker 1: privy to everything, but like if somebody's leaving the next day,
- 17:43Speaker 1: or there's an argument then like, yeah, I feel like
- 17:45Speaker 1: I need to know. I watched this whole season. Well,
- 17:49Speaker 1: we don't really get an answer. It is the most
- 17:52Speaker 1: mumbo jumbo ever. Can't figure it out. All Zach keeps
- 17:57Speaker 1: saying is that like she wasn't the same, and then
- 18:00Speaker 1: the doors closed and it was like somebody didn't know.
- 18:03Speaker 1: It's like as if she's been acting the entire time,
- 18:07Speaker 1: because the girl in the fantasy suite was not the
- 18:11Speaker 1: girl that I thought I was dating. He also says
- 18:15Speaker 1: that the concern, the main concern that she had that
- 18:18Speaker 1: kept repeating throughout the night that he was so thrown
- 18:22Speaker 1: off by, was are you sure you're ready for marriage?
- 18:26Speaker 1: Or are you sure you're ready to get engaged? That
- 18:30Speaker 1: that's what threw you off. That's what you come out
- 18:32Speaker 1: of this fantasy suite that you said was bad by
- 18:36Speaker 1: just saying that she was questioning your age and your readiness,
- 18:39Speaker 1: there was something else. Don't you think there was something else? Yeah?
- 18:45Speaker 1: I don't even want to say anything. What I don't know.
- 18:49Speaker 1: It's a fantasy suites, Like, yeah, you think that didn't
- 18:52Speaker 1: go according to plan? Like the physicality wasn't there? Yeah,
- 18:57Speaker 1: I think so all of a sudden, you're behind closed doors.
- 19:01Speaker 1: So the first time, you know, you have this moment
- 19:05Speaker 1: and I get it. I've been a part of I mean, okay,
- 19:09Speaker 1: you know Caitlin. Caitlin I were just good friends, like
- 19:14Speaker 1: in all honesty, and so we just all of a
- 19:16Speaker 1: sudden were like, yeah, this this probably isn't working. Like,
- 19:19Speaker 1: this isn't this is where this could be done. So
- 19:21Speaker 1: we you know, stuck out of a castle and ran
- 19:24Speaker 1: back and like, I had a lot of fun, and
- 19:26Speaker 1: I get this, like I get the moment where you
- 19:28Speaker 1: wake up in the morning like, hey, this was a
- 19:30Speaker 1: good ride. You and I respect each other. I think
- 19:33Speaker 1: you're awesome. I think you're great, but this is probably done.
- 19:37Speaker 1: And now, granted, I think that was like a very
- 19:41Speaker 1: easy like way for us to handle it. It was,
- 19:45Speaker 1: you know, to this day, Caitlin is somebody I love,
- 19:47Speaker 1: I like, I care about, I respect, I enjoyed being around.
- 19:51Speaker 1: She's funny. Uh. I'm guessing with Rachel and Zach they
- 19:55Speaker 1: probably didn't cross the boundary of having that open dialogue,
- 19:58Speaker 1: and so it just felt awkward for about twelve hours.
- 20:01Speaker 1: It was just a weird moment and all of a
- 20:03Speaker 1: sudden Zack's like, yeah, I don't think she's that into me,
- 20:06Speaker 1: and Rachel's like, you're right, I'm put that into you,
- 20:10Speaker 1: and then they have to move on. That's the most
- 20:12Speaker 1: fantastic insider perspective. Well, it's I'm that's what I'm imagining happen,
- 20:19Speaker 1: because can you imagine this, Actually put yourself in this scenario.
- 20:22Speaker 1: You're dating somebody, all of a sudden, you have that
- 20:25Speaker 1: first evening together, right, You're you're deciding to stay over
- 20:29Speaker 1: whatever it is, door closes, and you just have this
- 20:32Speaker 1: like hit in your gut, like I don't know if
- 20:35Speaker 1: I want to be here, Like I don't think this
- 20:38Speaker 1: is what you know, the dates and the dinners were cool,
- 20:40Speaker 1: and the movie night was really awesome, but now all
- 20:43Speaker 1: of a sudden, I'm looking at this being like this
- 20:45Speaker 1: is not my future. And put yourself in that scenario.
- 20:50Speaker 1: But know that you're on national television and that it's
- 20:52Speaker 1: expected that you're in this room now for twelve hours
- 20:55Speaker 1: or whatever it is, and it's just awkward for the
- 20:59Speaker 1: whole time. And she's asking him questions that like I
- 21:02Speaker 1: don't think you're ready, Like she's trying to convince that
- 21:04Speaker 1: she's also trying to like talk him out of it, like,
- 21:07Speaker 1: you know what, You're right, I'm not ready. What I
- 21:11Speaker 1: said earlier about her feeling like the ick right now
- 21:14Speaker 1: with him, I think makes so much sense with your theory,
- 21:19Speaker 1: because she's starting to feel a little icky, but she
- 21:21Speaker 1: knows the way like it kind of rolls, and she
- 21:23Speaker 1: knows exactly how she's going to handle the rest of
- 21:25Speaker 1: the season. She knows that she's gonna end up with
- 21:28Speaker 1: and she plays nice to him on TV, like in
- 21:31Speaker 1: front of the cameras and I've I've done this before,
- 21:34Speaker 1: not on the show, um, but like in real life.
- 21:37Speaker 1: You like just you do the fake smile, you know,
- 21:39Speaker 1: you do the smile, and you have your voice in
- 21:41Speaker 1: a certain way, and you're like, I know exactly like that.
- 21:44Speaker 1: I'm not gonna ever call you a TEXTI again after
- 21:46Speaker 1: this day, but we're going to get through it, and
- 21:48Speaker 1: you're gonna think that I like you just because I'm
- 21:49Speaker 1: being polite. And this is what she's doing on camera.
- 21:54Speaker 1: This is just theories, guys, But I think I'm right.
- 21:57Speaker 1: And then she gets and gets behind closed doors and
- 22:01Speaker 1: she's like, oh god, this guy, I can't even I
- 22:04Speaker 1: cannot fake smile anymore. This guy is I'm over This
- 22:08Speaker 1: is all I'm thinking. I'm supposed to be in this
- 22:10Speaker 1: place where like maybe we have sex with someone, and
- 22:13Speaker 1: all I want to do is be with Tina, and
- 22:15Speaker 1: if he tries to make a move on me, I'm
- 22:16Speaker 1: going to have to push him away. That's what happened.
- 22:20Speaker 1: There you go, There you go. That's our assumption, that's
- 22:22Speaker 1: our story. We're sticking to it. Hey, Ashley, I've got
- 22:25Speaker 1: to play the catch. Jesse Palmer is in the waiting room.
- 22:30Speaker 1: He is coming on to speak with you right now.
- 22:33Speaker 1: So have a great day all of your listeners. Thank
- 22:37Speaker 1: you for letting me join for just a period of
- 22:39Speaker 1: time today. Uh, and we'll be back next week a
- 22:43Speaker 1: talking about the Bachelorette finale. See you, Ben. I'm actually
- 22:47Speaker 1: going to finish the recab with Jesse because the only
- 22:50Speaker 1: thing left to really talk about this episode that is
- 22:53Speaker 1: juicy is his weird on stage with the lights off situation. Yeah,
- 22:59Speaker 1: it's kind of it was kind of too intense and
- 23:02Speaker 1: you can tell him I said that. All right, see
- 23:04Speaker 1: you guys. Jesse Palmer is now on the lawn with us.
- 23:19Speaker 1: He's actually backstage at Kelly and Ryan and that's where
- 23:22Speaker 1: I want to start off this convo, Jesse. Kelly Rippa
- 23:26Speaker 1: has been so clear about her feelings on the Bachelor franchise,
- 23:30Speaker 1: like she hates us. She's definitely she watches. She's very
- 23:38Speaker 1: aware not watch. I remember when I was the Bachelor
- 23:42Speaker 1: and I came on the show years and years ago,
- 23:44Speaker 1: and I remember that's kind of what I learned right away.
- 23:46Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, she really she asks the tough questions
- 23:49Speaker 1: and shares a lot of opinion about it. But I
- 23:51Speaker 1: love it. I gotta say, honestly, it's actually a lot
- 23:53Speaker 1: of fun because you can totally have fun with her
- 23:55Speaker 1: about it on the show too. Okay, cool, we can't
- 23:57Speaker 1: all take ourselves that seriously, Kenley, No, no, Now, we
- 24:01Speaker 1: usually like to start off or I like to start
- 24:04Speaker 1: off my conversations with you. I don't know if everybody
- 24:06Speaker 1: likes this, but I like starting with a little NFL talk.
- 24:09Speaker 1: And you know that my husband and I are so
- 24:13Speaker 1: invested in Tom Brady that um our son is named
- 24:17Speaker 1: after him. You know, his middle name is Bertie. Uh.
- 24:23Speaker 1: But like we're having a weird we're having a weird
- 24:25Speaker 1: Brady week. We not personally, but like Brady is having
- 24:27Speaker 1: a weird month. Right. Actually, first off, I thought you
- 24:31Speaker 1: were a Giant fan. Okay, where did this whole Like,
- 24:36Speaker 1: you know, we've always been Brady fans, Jesse, when when
- 24:41Speaker 1: I know one of you is okay if you're not
- 24:43Speaker 1: allowed to change your stripes as you after having a baby.
- 24:46Speaker 1: Oh but it's not. He's gotten me on team Tom.
- 24:48Speaker 1: So it's not even so much that I'm like, I'm
- 24:51Speaker 1: like not a I'm not even that much of a
- 24:53Speaker 1: Patriots fan really, as I am a Tom fit No, no, Jesse,
- 24:57Speaker 1: you don't understand. I always say that like the one
- 25:00Speaker 1: the one person that could probably root for their spouses team,
- 25:05Speaker 1: and like like in the way that I do is
- 25:07Speaker 1: a Giants fan to a Patriots fan because we always
- 25:10Speaker 1: kick their butt because we always get them in the
- 25:13Speaker 1: big moments. So so you know how that figures out, Yeah, exactly,
- 25:18Speaker 1: Like I always have the Trump card and you're allowed
- 25:21Speaker 1: to cheer for a player like you might not be
- 25:23Speaker 1: like a Patriots fan. If you say I'm a Tom
- 25:25Speaker 1: Brady fan, I am a Tom Brady fan. I do
- 25:28Speaker 1: not give a rat's ass about what's going on in
- 25:31Speaker 1: Foxboro except for the fact that Bill did up everything. Okay,
- 25:39Speaker 1: al right, well, yeah, oh gosh, I know. Sorry, Okay,
- 25:45Speaker 1: our producers like, okay, actually weally have ten to fifteen
- 25:48Speaker 1: minutes with him. So if you don't talk, if you
- 25:50Speaker 1: could not talk about Tom and Giselle. But but really,
- 25:53Speaker 1: what do we think is going out with Tom? Giselle?
- 25:55Speaker 1: I don't know what are you worried? Like, I don't know,
- 25:58Speaker 1: I'm not. I mean, he's forty five years old, and like,
- 26:01Speaker 1: like I think football people are like, he's taking time away,
- 26:05Speaker 1: it's hurting the chemistry of the team. I mean, he's
- 26:07Speaker 1: going to get that back right aways. Tom Brady, the
- 26:09Speaker 1: guy literally wakes up and he's still Tom Brady. I
- 26:13Speaker 1: you know, I would be lying if I said I
- 26:15Speaker 1: haven't wondered what might be going on. But honestly, like
- 26:18Speaker 1: I this is such a boring answer. I just think
- 26:21Speaker 1: he's like, dude, I don't want to do training Camper.
- 26:23Speaker 1: Of course, he's like, bro, Like, I'm forty five, I've
- 26:26Speaker 1: won how many Super Bowls? I'm not sweating in Tampa
- 26:30Speaker 1: in the month of August with all these guys twice
- 26:32Speaker 1: a day. I'm not doing it. Like I'll play the
- 26:34Speaker 1: games and I'll beat Tom Brady and can just do that?
- 26:35Speaker 1: He really doesn't need training. Brady, didn't he like buy
- 26:40Speaker 1: He bought just one last time. He bought like a
- 26:42Speaker 1: piece of land in Miami for like ten million and
- 26:44Speaker 1: like tore it down. Now he's making like a seven
- 26:46Speaker 1: million dollar home or something. Right, maybe he had to
- 26:49Speaker 1: go look at that. He's creating the compound. Okay for
- 26:51Speaker 1: him and for the rest of their lives. Yes, we
- 26:55Speaker 1: know that she doesn't like him playing at he said,
- 26:58Speaker 1: but he said, I use it or hire at forty five,
- 27:01Speaker 1: So we gotta give him the forty year and then
- 27:02Speaker 1: he's done. Okay, okay, okay, Now now we transition. We
- 27:07Speaker 1: transition now in a beautiful transition with the question, if
- 27:12Speaker 1: there is one NFL player out there, um that you
- 27:15Speaker 1: would like to see as bachelor, who would it be?
- 27:18Speaker 1: We need a stunt caster, We need somebody. We need
- 27:20Speaker 1: a stunt cast. So let's get somebody can stay Kwonley, Yes, okay,
- 27:26Speaker 1: let's get it. Let's get this happening. You can your
- 27:28Speaker 1: people reach out to Stake Kwan? Can you get him
- 27:30Speaker 1: on on the podcast? I think he'd be awesome for
- 27:33Speaker 1: people who don't know. Ashley knows people out there that
- 27:35Speaker 1: don't know. He's the running back of the New York Giants.
- 27:38Speaker 1: He's a great guy, he's a good looking sing he's
- 27:41Speaker 1: a stud player. See that part. I don't know because
- 27:44Speaker 1: he's a good enough football player that he could be
- 27:46Speaker 1: dating an A list celebrity if he wanted to, Like
- 27:49Speaker 1: it could be Russell Wilson. Cr We love Russell Wilson
- 27:53Speaker 1: and Sierra, so it's like he's that level, but I
- 27:56Speaker 1: don't know if he is, and if he's not, that
- 27:59Speaker 1: would be my NFL pick. Okay, love that answer. Love
- 28:02Speaker 1: the answer. Now let's go into deep questions about this show,
- 28:07Speaker 1: starting out as to where Ben and I left off
- 28:11Speaker 1: with the recap. We see, you know, Gabby goes to Eric,
- 28:15Speaker 1: it's all dramatic, Like Hugh, most of his heart wasn't
- 28:18Speaker 1: been beating out of his chest. When she like knocks
- 28:22Speaker 1: on his door and it's like, let's talk. I'm just
- 28:24Speaker 1: gonna get to it. He probably was like, Oh, this
- 28:27Speaker 1: is the moment, this is the moment she breaks up
- 28:28Speaker 1: with me. And then she's like you're the only one
- 28:30Speaker 1: here and I love you, which is so cute. Only
- 28:36Speaker 1: only Gabby could do that too. That's like such a
- 28:38Speaker 1: Gabby delivery for that moment. Yeah, I can't even imagine
- 28:42Speaker 1: what was going through Eric's Eric's mind, you know, it's
- 28:45Speaker 1: been so funny. I don't know how you and Ben
- 28:47Speaker 1: feel about it, But watching Gabby and Eric this this
- 28:50Speaker 1: whole time, like from the beginning, they obviously have this
- 28:53Speaker 1: amazing chemistry and you can see that and you can
- 28:56Speaker 1: tell that they're falling in love and they have these feelings,
- 28:58Speaker 1: but communication with and is so off at times, and
- 29:03Speaker 1: it just kind of comes back over and over and over.
- 29:06Speaker 1: It's a huge hurdle. They just can't seem to get over,
- 29:09Speaker 1: and so because of that, it just feels like there're
- 29:12Speaker 1: always one conversation from this thing being over. That's how
- 29:16Speaker 1: I feel. You know, it's just so volatile because of
- 29:19Speaker 1: their inability to be on the same wavelength that way
- 29:21Speaker 1: all the time. But you just know that they have
- 29:24Speaker 1: these strong feelings for each other and they want to
- 29:25Speaker 1: be together, and so that that's kind of what was
- 29:30Speaker 1: my thought watching that back again last night too, I
- 29:32Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, it's just so intense between
- 29:34Speaker 1: these two all the time. Is that a tease or
- 29:36Speaker 1: a tea up for what we might see in next
- 29:39Speaker 1: week's episode? Yeah, it's not over yet, because yeah, it
- 29:42Speaker 1: doesn't look like it's over yet. It's all I'll say, well,
- 29:45Speaker 1: you know, it's like one conversation at this point, especially
- 29:48Speaker 1: one conversation can can change everything, can blow everything up.
- 29:54Speaker 1: And with them because they have these communication breakdowns. Um,
- 29:59Speaker 1: it's it's you know, you're on pins and needles every
- 30:02Speaker 1: time you know they're coming together because you just wanted
- 30:04Speaker 1: to end up. Well, so it's you know, people, people
- 30:08Speaker 1: will see it's but it's all say it's not over.
- 30:12Speaker 1: You're as serious right now as you are on the
- 30:15Speaker 1: stage with no lights on. At the end of the episode,
- 30:18Speaker 1: I just escaped. It was like I was I was
- 30:23Speaker 1: held by our producers for a week and a random state.
- 30:26Speaker 1: It was like apocalyptic, wasn't. I'm watching it back, I'm like,
- 30:30Speaker 1: there's zombies outside, they're breaking in. This maybe my last
- 30:33Speaker 1: message everyone. It was so like that I'm watching it
- 30:38Speaker 1: and I'm like, all right, I gotta press pause here.
- 30:40Speaker 1: I don't even know like if I'm missing context here.
- 30:43Speaker 1: We're just we're just saying that next week is going
- 30:45Speaker 1: to be this dramatic. We have to prepare ourselves in
- 30:48Speaker 1: a dark studio. So like Jared came here, came here,
- 30:51Speaker 1: analyzed this with me what is going on? And like
- 30:54Speaker 1: where's what is that studio too? Like that's like for
- 30:58Speaker 1: people at home, honestly, like what when people at home
- 31:00Speaker 1: in basturd Nation when you watch these these stage shows,
- 31:04Speaker 1: we call them stage shows. So when it's like mental
- 31:06Speaker 1: All or women Tell All or a fr um, that's
- 31:09Speaker 1: what the studio looks like before it looks like what
- 31:12Speaker 1: it does when you watch. So I think there's people
- 31:14Speaker 1: out there that that think that stage is always black
- 31:17Speaker 1: and shiny and there's video boards and seats and well
- 31:20Speaker 1: lit and everything. I mean, what these people do is
- 31:22Speaker 1: pretty incredible because I mean that stage shoots movies and
- 31:25Speaker 1: different TV shows. But yes, like last night it looked
- 31:29Speaker 1: like I was in a zombie apocalypse. I'm trying to
- 31:32Speaker 1: announce that, and my wife's watching it. She's on the
- 31:35Speaker 1: floor rolling. She's like, you didn't tell me you were
- 31:39Speaker 1: going in filming there. She was so mad I had
- 31:41Speaker 1: to go back and film that, And she's like, where
- 31:44Speaker 1: were you filming that? Why didn't you just film that?
- 31:46Speaker 1: And like where we live? You could have picked any
- 31:48Speaker 1: studio to do that. You're telling me you had to
- 31:49Speaker 1: fly just for that five minute clip. Well, I have
- 31:53Speaker 1: to say that it was so captivating that maybe it
- 31:57Speaker 1: was worth it. It's got me counting down the moments
- 32:01Speaker 1: to get to watch that episode. Okay, so we got
- 32:03Speaker 1: to tease there with you that we will have that
- 32:07Speaker 1: it is not over. It's not happily ever after with
- 32:10Speaker 1: Gabby and Eric. So let's move over to Rachel. And
- 32:13Speaker 1: when we left off with her, we see that Zack
- 32:18Speaker 1: interrupts the rose ceremony after making a big stink with
- 32:21Speaker 1: you having a heart to heart about how she was
- 32:24Speaker 1: a different girl in the fantasy suite. So before you
- 32:27Speaker 1: came on, Ben and I gave our theory. We said
- 32:30Speaker 1: that we think that she like kind of had like
- 32:31Speaker 1: the ick with him. She was like over it, but
- 32:34Speaker 1: like it was kind of like playing by the roles
- 32:35Speaker 1: and being nice and polite, gets behind closed doors and
- 32:39Speaker 1: she just can't hide the fact that she's not into
- 32:42Speaker 1: him anymore. Like he's probably making moves on her and
- 32:45Speaker 1: she was probably like, oh no, I'm thinking about Tino,
- 32:49Speaker 1: And what's your theory? Because you had the actual conversation
- 32:53Speaker 1: and he kept blaming the engage ready marriage, blah blah blah,
- 32:58Speaker 1: but like, was there more to that conver station please Bill. Yeah,
- 33:02Speaker 1: so you know, I'm I'm sort of with you. I mean,
- 33:04Speaker 1: I'm just reading body language the way you and Ben
- 33:07Speaker 1: are doing it too, and how everybody else is watching it. Um.
- 33:09Speaker 1: I was surprised that Zach even knocked on my door
- 33:11Speaker 1: in the first place, just because everything leading up to
- 33:14Speaker 1: that overnight date and the fantasy suite between them seemed
- 33:16Speaker 1: like it was just going so so well, and just
- 33:18Speaker 1: seeing them interact, talking to Zack, hearing how he felt
- 33:21Speaker 1: about her, hearing Rachel about how she felt about him.
- 33:24Speaker 1: Everything seemed like it was going so great. And even
- 33:26Speaker 1: on that date and at dinner and everything leading into
- 33:28Speaker 1: the fantasy suite, it seemed kosher. It seemed fine. Um,
- 33:32Speaker 1: but you could just tell that awkward breakfast the morning
- 33:35Speaker 1: after something was just really off and it was it
- 33:38Speaker 1: was weird. Oh I forgot to mention that. Yeah, like
- 33:42Speaker 1: the coffee comments, like it was weird, almost like she
- 33:45Speaker 1: was being sarcastic with him. I could not pick up
- 33:48Speaker 1: what was going on, and he was he wasn't having it,
- 33:52Speaker 1: but she was like, yeah, if everything seems super like
- 33:55Speaker 1: active on her part, but like in an obvious way
- 33:59Speaker 1: she was talking about she was like, now, like are
- 34:01Speaker 1: we on the same page? Like, do you remember what
- 34:03Speaker 1: we talked about? And then and it was I didn't
- 34:06Speaker 1: know what that conversation was until Zach came and saw
- 34:08Speaker 1: me and he mentioned his age. That's when that was.
- 34:11Speaker 1: There was the aha moment, like maybe she's not sure
- 34:14Speaker 1: that he's really ready at his age, um to do
- 34:17Speaker 1: this and to get down on one knee. Um. Seeing
- 34:21Speaker 1: how emotionally was I mean, he's he's obviously was heartbroken
- 34:24Speaker 1: by that. He was super confused, and you know, he
- 34:29Speaker 1: knew he needed to talk to her and address that
- 34:31Speaker 1: with her at the Rows ceremony, and that's what that's
- 34:33Speaker 1: what he's about to do. We're going to see that.
- 34:34Speaker 1: But just based on just body language, watching everything and
- 34:39Speaker 1: seeing how how hurt Zack was after the fact, something
- 34:43Speaker 1: definitely went down and I think you're going to find
- 34:45Speaker 1: that out. Um coming up? What was said? Oh so
- 34:49Speaker 1: we do get more? Oh you're you're gonna get more? Oh?
- 34:52Speaker 1: Thank goodness. Could it possibly have been because like a
- 34:56Speaker 1: sexual rendezvous like awkwardness? I don't know, man. I'll say this,
- 35:01Speaker 1: having been in a in a fantasy suite or two
- 35:04Speaker 1: in my life, I can say things. Can I mean
- 35:10Speaker 1: things can can go off, Things can you know can
- 35:14Speaker 1: go wrong, and if there's it's a conversation um or
- 35:19Speaker 1: it's a compatibility issue in any way, shape or form.
- 35:22Speaker 1: Things you know, you make you make. I think realizations
- 35:26Speaker 1: in those moments when you're trying to find clarity, to
- 35:28Speaker 1: find out is this person going to be my forever
- 35:31Speaker 1: um and it can be a whole different number of things.
- 35:34Speaker 1: I think a lot of bastination wants to know what
- 35:36Speaker 1: went down, what happened, why were there those weird feels
- 35:39Speaker 1: coming out? And I think we're gonna get get those answers.
- 35:42Speaker 1: I could keep talking to you about Gabby and Rachel,
- 35:46Speaker 1: but I'm going to give you a theory, and we're
- 35:48Speaker 1: gonna We're gonna end at this and then move on
- 35:49Speaker 1: to Paradise. I think both girls are going to get
- 35:53Speaker 1: engaged at the end of this, and I think they're
- 35:57Speaker 1: both going to show up to the after the final
- 36:00Speaker 1: was single. Okay, this is my stoic face, straight face,
- 36:04Speaker 1: straight face, anything away, he's too good at this game. Okay,
- 36:09Speaker 1: don't tip all right, I think that's it though. That's
- 36:13Speaker 1: my theory. Okay, Well that leads us into what do
- 36:17Speaker 1: you prefer? Jesse hosting a Paradise or hosting the main show. Um,
- 36:24Speaker 1: I don't know. I sort of like I really enjoyed
- 36:27Speaker 1: doing both for different reasons. Paradise was super fun. Um hey,
- 36:32Speaker 1: it was great seeing all of you. How is it
- 36:36Speaker 1: for you going back there? I mean, I know, I
- 36:38Speaker 1: we will talk about it and people see it on air,
- 36:40Speaker 1: live and everything. But it was so amazing having both
- 36:42Speaker 1: you and Jared that we talked about it like almost daily,
- 36:45Speaker 1: being like, can we go back to Paradise? Can we
- 36:47Speaker 1: go back to Paradise? Just a little teaser? Was the
- 36:49Speaker 1: first time that Paradise was truly Paradise for both of us.
- 36:52Speaker 1: It was such a great time. Do you like, do
- 36:55Speaker 1: you are you with me on this? Like Paradise looks
- 36:57Speaker 1: better in person than it does on TV. I I
- 37:00Speaker 1: think it's beautiful. It is. I thought it was stunning.
- 37:03Speaker 1: You're talking about sets, you know, and how they change
- 37:05Speaker 1: that just bare room into this beautiful set. Talk about
- 37:09Speaker 1: what they do for Paradise, like that place is lush.
- 37:14Speaker 1: They do so much decorating. I can't believe that the
- 37:17Speaker 1: pla Escan data doesn't just keep it up all year
- 37:19Speaker 1: round A thousand, a thousand percent. It looks totally different
- 37:24Speaker 1: apparently when they when they take it all down again,
- 37:26Speaker 1: But just like that area on the beach and the water,
- 37:28Speaker 1: it's great. I don't know, man, it was cool seeing
- 37:31Speaker 1: people from Clayton season and from Rachel and Gabby season
- 37:34Speaker 1: who I knew personally. And it was also cool, you know,
- 37:37Speaker 1: being at the gates of Paradise and meeting people that
- 37:39Speaker 1: were coming down from previous shows that I had watched
- 37:41Speaker 1: as a fan. So that was awesome. Um. And then
- 37:45Speaker 1: like I think for people at home when they watch,
- 37:48Speaker 1: to me, it's like expecting unexpected in a way, because
- 37:51Speaker 1: they're going to be surprised by people who show up.
- 37:54Speaker 1: I think they're going to be surprised at who ends
- 37:56Speaker 1: up coupling up. And there's some twists in a format
- 38:00Speaker 1: that that we've never seen on Paradise before, which is
- 38:03Speaker 1: a lot of newness. Yeah, which is maybe why the
- 38:06Speaker 1: girls say f you Jesse Palmer in the preview like
- 38:12Speaker 1: when had happened and Peter guys the producers like you
- 38:14Speaker 1: can see what they said about you? What do you mean?
- 38:18Speaker 1: He showed me a video and I was dying laughing
- 38:20Speaker 1: at a mental all. I was howling about that he
- 38:23Speaker 1: was going to get a shout out, but not like that.
- 38:26Speaker 1: All right, Jesse, Well, I have to I've got to
- 38:28Speaker 1: let you go. I just want to let you know that,
- 38:30Speaker 1: say Kwon Barkley actually has a really hot long time girlfriend.
- 38:34Speaker 1: So you're gonna have to come up with a new
- 38:35Speaker 1: pick for next time. I see you a new New
- 38:38Speaker 1: York gin. Okay, okay, I'll see you next time. Can't wait,
- 38:42Speaker 1: can't wait for Paradise and all that. Hi. I had
- 38:48Speaker 1: so many more questions for Jesse, but he's a very
- 38:50Speaker 1: busy man. Like I said, he was backstage at Kelly
- 38:53Speaker 1: and Ryan when I'm talking to him, so he's got
- 38:55Speaker 1: big things to do with the finale coming up. I
- 38:59Speaker 1: just can't belie this finale. It's dark, guys, it looks dark.
- 39:03Speaker 1: I'm scared for both these girls. I really want them
- 39:06Speaker 1: to have happy endings, and I'm just worried that they
- 39:07Speaker 1: went through all this and they're not going to get it.
- 39:09Speaker 1: But Ben and I will be back next week recapping
- 39:12Speaker 1: the finale episodes, and then I will be here with
- 39:16Speaker 1: Katherine Lowe and that episode will be released on Friday.
