- 0:08Speaker 1: Episode three. I'm Ben and I'm Ashley. I we are
- 0:13Speaker 1: excited joining you today. Ashley has been running late. I've
- 0:16Speaker 1: been sitting in the studio now for about an hour. Ashley,
- 0:21Speaker 1: what in the heck have you been doing? Oh my gosh? Okay, Um,
- 0:24Speaker 1: what was I doing? I got her like summary, but
- 0:27Speaker 1: it's too light. And then my stylist sister, she like legit,
- 0:31Speaker 1: loves to go to Sally and mix hair color. She's
- 0:34Speaker 1: gonna have to darken in a couple of shades. Actually,
- 0:36Speaker 1: you seem to be fretting about this. It almost seems
- 0:39Speaker 1: like you have a hot date tonight that I don't
- 0:41Speaker 1: want you to speak of yet because we're gonna talk
- 0:43Speaker 1: about it later. Um, but as you were getting your
- 0:48Speaker 1: hair done, I want to talk about what I did
- 0:50Speaker 1: last week or the last day. I went to the
- 0:52Speaker 1: Dodger game with uh the host of the Bachelor and
- 0:55Speaker 1: Bachelor at Chris Harrison. Um, why in between our our
- 1:01Speaker 1: studio times here? And Chris is admittedly a huge fan
- 1:06Speaker 1: of this podcast. Okay, he loves it and he and
- 1:09Speaker 1: he loves the dynamic of you and I together. Um,
- 1:12Speaker 1: but I want to mention something here because Chris is
- 1:15Speaker 1: obviously a professional host and so I wanted his professional
- 1:20Speaker 1: opinion on how we were doing, uh, just in general.
- 1:23Speaker 1: And so I not only want to thank Chris, but
- 1:26Speaker 1: the thousands of other people and I mean thousands. We
- 1:28Speaker 1: have sat um comfortably in the top ten in iTunes
- 1:33Speaker 1: rankings over the last two weeks, which we have to
- 1:37Speaker 1: thank the people that are listening for so so thank
- 1:39Speaker 1: you all. But also think Chris and everybody that that
- 1:44Speaker 1: messaged into me the place because they fixed something I
- 1:52Speaker 1: was saying everybody knew except me. And and the word
- 1:56Speaker 1: is especially, I guess you say as especially. Oh wait, Ben,
- 2:03Speaker 1: I honestly didn't pick it up while we were sitting here,
- 2:06Speaker 1: but I was told afterwards that you say this, I'm
- 2:09Speaker 1: like wondering, did you actually think there was an ex
- 2:11Speaker 1: in there? Or I like your entire twenties eight years
- 2:14Speaker 1: of life. Well, I'm gonna give a free pass to
- 2:17Speaker 1: anybody from here on out listening. They can send in
- 2:20Speaker 1: any corrections they feel like I need to make with
- 2:22Speaker 1: my the way I say things, because I know there
- 2:25Speaker 1: there's some certain words that I slip up on and
- 2:28Speaker 1: so if I'm going to get better as a podcast,
- 2:31Speaker 1: I don't know we call what we call ourselves. Uh,
- 2:34Speaker 1: I gotta fix these things. So thank you for your input,
- 2:37Speaker 1: Chris Harrison, thank you for input all the people that
- 2:40Speaker 1: have written into the show. I love reading the tweets.
- 2:43Speaker 1: There's so much fun and I try to respond to
- 2:45Speaker 1: everyone personally. So if you tweet us, tweet us about
- 2:48Speaker 1: what we're talking about here on the podcast, I hope
- 2:51Speaker 1: to get to talk to you. Just just beat some
- 2:54Speaker 1: my kind Um. Okay, we'll get jumping. I don't get
- 2:57Speaker 1: any hat ashe I am so excited to talk to
- 3:01Speaker 1: you this week. Uh. We have a massive episode of
- 3:05Speaker 1: The Bachelor at that happened this week, and I know
- 3:08Speaker 1: that you know I can get fired up about this stuff.
- 3:10Speaker 1: I know personally as I watched the show, Um, my
- 3:14Speaker 1: first reaction is was it this bad when I was
- 3:16Speaker 1: on it? Um? And I want to hear your opinion.
- 3:19Speaker 1: I want to hear your just kind of rundown of
- 3:22Speaker 1: this week's bachelorrette. And then I have a couple of
- 3:24Speaker 1: things that I've written out that I want to point
- 3:25Speaker 1: out and speak to because my mind is becoming blown
- 3:30Speaker 1: by the things happening. Yeah, you're not a fan right now? Huh,
- 3:34Speaker 1: I couldn't call. I mean, I'm no, I think I
- 3:39Speaker 1: think that is exactly what I am. I think I
- 3:41Speaker 1: think I am becoming the biggest fan that I didn't
- 3:45Speaker 1: necessarily want to become. That's so funny. So I actually
- 3:48Speaker 1: feel myself getting more invested in this season than I
- 3:51Speaker 1: have in a long time. And when I say a
- 3:52Speaker 1: long time, I think probably going back to your season,
- 3:55Speaker 1: Joe Joe season didn't really feel that one and then
- 3:58Speaker 1: Nix either and out here we are, and I'm really
- 4:02Speaker 1: removed from it, you know, both you and I don't
- 4:04Speaker 1: know Rachel, And I wonder if that's why I like
- 4:07Speaker 1: it more, because like I'm watching it like a fan
- 4:09Speaker 1: and I'm not watching it like a friend, and it's
- 4:13Speaker 1: it's it's just been such a huge train wreck in
- 4:15Speaker 1: such good TV to me. Uh, and I'm not even
- 4:18Speaker 1: looking at I have like no personal investment in it.
- 4:20Speaker 1: So if you want to go down like the list
- 4:22Speaker 1: of really crazy things that happened this week, we have
- 4:24Speaker 1: to definitely start with the fight between Blake and well
- 4:28Speaker 1: Boom Lucas. I mean, it's it was literally I have
- 4:31Speaker 1: I have my notes and in front me I wrote
- 4:33Speaker 1: down it's like two children yelling at each other, but
- 4:36Speaker 1: we're watching two grown men. Um. They were not only
- 4:39Speaker 1: like mocking each other. At one point, I saw Blake
- 4:43Speaker 1: in the background, like acting out like who he thought
- 4:47Speaker 1: Lucas or what Boom was like. He was like doing
- 4:50Speaker 1: some little dance, calling him a clown. I see a
- 4:53Speaker 1: script right here. Do you want to recreate the fight
- 4:56Speaker 1: right now? Um? Yeah, Actually, I'm gonna play Blake because
- 5:00Speaker 1: he got on my nerves even more than Lucas. Oh yeah,
- 5:03Speaker 1: Blake is way worse than Lucas. I said in my
- 5:05Speaker 1: Cosmo articles like I would much rather make out with
- 5:09Speaker 1: Lucas than Blake. We could probably make that happen. Um, okay,
- 5:14Speaker 1: so let's start. Let's skip down a little bit. Let's
- 5:16Speaker 1: start start at the um when you ask me, why
- 5:19Speaker 1: am I here? Okay? Why am I here? Okay? Why
- 5:24Speaker 1: am i? This is real quick for everybody listening. This
- 5:28Speaker 1: is the conversation between Luke, Lucas, and Blake on this
- 5:32Speaker 1: week's episode of the Bachelorette. They they got in a
- 5:35Speaker 1: massive fight. If you haven't seen yet, Okay, okay, okay,
- 5:39Speaker 1: why am I here. You're here to be on blank TV?
- 5:44Speaker 1: And why is that because you want to be a comedian?
- 5:48Speaker 1: You're washed up joke. I can't help but feel that
- 5:51Speaker 1: you weren't here and I would have to be a
- 5:53Speaker 1: real shot at and I would have a real shot
- 5:55Speaker 1: at getting to know Rachel. But because you were busy
- 5:58Speaker 1: being well boo mean and making a joke out of
- 6:01Speaker 1: this experience, I'm gonna go home. You and Lucas who boom.
- 6:07Speaker 1: The thing is, it's like not about winning. It's about
- 6:10Speaker 1: the world. Brother, It's about the world, and you have
- 6:15Speaker 1: no idea what the world needs. This is, by the way,
- 6:19Speaker 1: time out. This is my favorite part. You're the wa
- 6:23Speaker 1: boom clown and I'm the nice gentleman. You know. Go
- 6:27Speaker 1: back to your protein shakes, go back to your steroids.
- 6:31Speaker 1: I'm just gonna let you speak for yourself. I know
- 6:35Speaker 1: what funny is walka boom pie in your face, walka
- 6:41Speaker 1: walker fart joke. If someone said, how would you summarize
- 6:47Speaker 1: Lucas in one word? And I feel like this is
- 6:49Speaker 1: a compliment to Lucas, I would say, whoa boom? Okay,
- 6:53Speaker 1: let's stop here. So this is what we got. Thank you, everybody,
- 6:58Speaker 1: Thank you so as I felt a little bit weird
- 7:02Speaker 1: reading through this, okay, and I have the words in
- 7:05Speaker 1: front of me. For this to be an actual grown
- 7:08Speaker 1: man fight is absolutely ridiculous. I mean, at one point,
- 7:14Speaker 1: let me just reread this slowly to to everybody out
- 7:16Speaker 1: there so they can hear this. Waca waca boom, pie
- 7:20Speaker 1: in your face, waca, waca, fart Joe. If someone said
- 7:27Speaker 1: how you would summarize Lucas in one word, I would say, well, boom,
- 7:33Speaker 1: that is Blake's comment. Now, I'm not going to question
- 7:36Speaker 1: Blake's intelligence. I don't know the man, I've never met
- 7:38Speaker 1: the man, but I would have to believe that if
- 7:41Speaker 1: he read back through this conversation, his takeaway might be
- 7:45Speaker 1: I'm a little bit better than this. I'm just might be.
- 7:48Speaker 1: But you know what's so crazy is that he keeps
- 7:51Speaker 1: getting on Lucas about wanting to be on TV and
- 7:54Speaker 1: wanting to be famous, when not only is he also
- 7:58Speaker 1: on The Bachelor at but apparently for the right reasons,
- 8:01Speaker 1: because a whole other conversation we can have is like,
- 8:04Speaker 1: what are the right reasons? But then this is his
- 8:07Speaker 1: second TV show too, because he was on the other
- 8:10Speaker 1: TV show with well boom what shows that, Yes, you
- 8:14Speaker 1: guys didn't know this. They know each other because they
- 8:17Speaker 1: were on another like We TV or lifetime reality show
- 8:21Speaker 1: about it's called exiled. That's what he was trying to
- 8:25Speaker 1: blame it on, when really it was that's true too.
- 8:27Speaker 1: They do live in the same neighborhood, but they know
- 8:31Speaker 1: each other originally from this other reality show, which, of
- 8:34Speaker 1: course um Blake is bringing up because then it would
- 8:39Speaker 1: just get thrown back in his face that he's on
- 8:41Speaker 1: his second TV show too. Definitely. Well, okay, that's a
- 8:45Speaker 1: great point then, So I would say, based on my
- 8:48Speaker 1: fan opinion, neither of them are there for the right reasons, right, Okay,
- 8:53Speaker 1: So let's talk about a guy who was there, in
- 8:55Speaker 1: my opinion, for the right reasons. And I honestly was
- 8:58Speaker 1: looking for that heart connection with somebody, somebody that was
- 9:01Speaker 1: really going to cheer for in this season, and I
- 9:04Speaker 1: found in a guy named Frederick. Okay, Frederick, just give
- 9:07Speaker 1: a little backstory work, are we getting really formal now
- 9:10Speaker 1: with Frederick? Well, let's just let's just call him fred Okay.
- 9:15Speaker 1: So fred knew Rachel growing up through elementary school and
- 9:19Speaker 1: and Rachel's always continued to in this season. Go back
- 9:21Speaker 1: to how Fred was a wild child, okay, troublemaker, and
- 9:25Speaker 1: Fred has been trying to prove to her, Hey, I'm
- 9:27Speaker 1: actually a man now you know I'm I'm here because
- 9:29Speaker 1: I've always been attracted to you. I was growing up.
- 9:32Speaker 1: I was not the man um that was able to
- 9:34Speaker 1: date you. You're I think he said, too good for me.
- 9:37Speaker 1: But now I believe that I could be a man
- 9:40Speaker 1: um that that would compliment your life. And so I
- 9:43Speaker 1: fell in love with Fred last night. Fred was the sweetest,
- 9:46Speaker 1: sweetest thing ever, and seeing her not reciprocate those feelings
- 9:51Speaker 1: was one of the most heartbreaking things I've seen on
- 9:53Speaker 1: the show in a long time. It really was. And
- 9:56Speaker 1: speaking of first kiss, this is maybe why I fell
- 9:59Speaker 1: in love with Fred last night. Okay, Um, Fred kind
- 10:04Speaker 1: of was smooth in my opinion, and I think she
- 10:06Speaker 1: Rachel was thrown off because Fred asked her if he
- 10:09Speaker 1: could kiss her, right, um, And I relate to that
- 10:14Speaker 1: because I have my first kiss story that is somewhat similar.
- 10:17Speaker 1: I love first stories. So let me tell you about this. Uh,
- 10:22Speaker 1: sit back, relax. Let me tell you a story. Um.
- 10:26Speaker 1: Little Ben was in in sixth grade dating a young
- 10:30Speaker 1: lady named um ironically Lauren Piper. Okay, yeah, okay. So
- 10:37Speaker 1: Lauren Piper and I went to a movie. It was
- 10:39Speaker 1: our first time allowed to go to the movies. I
- 10:41Speaker 1: knew going into that I wanted to kiss Lauren. Okay.
- 10:45Speaker 1: So I looked at her and I put my arm
- 10:47Speaker 1: around her, and I was trying to find the right
- 10:50Speaker 1: angle or the right way. I didn't know if I should,
- 10:52Speaker 1: you know, move her face towards me, if I should
- 10:54Speaker 1: tap her on the shoulder so she turns and looks
- 10:56Speaker 1: at me, and then kiss her. I was having a
- 10:58Speaker 1: hard time a sting to the right angle, especially sitting
- 11:01Speaker 1: in movie sets, which you know, back then weren't comfortable.
- 11:04Speaker 1: We didn't have the lounge chairs. So what I decided
- 11:08Speaker 1: to do was like what every um romantic does, like
- 11:14Speaker 1: Fred does. I looked at Lauren and I said, Lauren,
- 11:18Speaker 1: I would love to kiss you right now, but I
- 11:21Speaker 1: can't figure out how. Oh wait, this is in the
- 11:28Speaker 1: middle of the movie theater. In the middle of the
- 11:30Speaker 1: movie theater. But guess what happened, Ashley, what we kissed?
- 11:35Speaker 1: So who was winning? Then you are exactly So it
- 11:39Speaker 1: works and and Fred got his kiss, even though minutes
- 11:43Speaker 1: later Rachel breaks his poor heart. And that's why I
- 11:46Speaker 1: was pulling for Fred. I said, this guy right here
- 11:48Speaker 1: knows what he wants, he doesn't exactly know how to
- 11:51Speaker 1: get it, so he's just gonna verbalize how he's feeling,
- 11:54Speaker 1: which I find intriguing. Okay, I agree, in fact, but
- 12:02Speaker 1: I also want to talk more about your first kiss
- 12:04Speaker 1: and like asking for kisses, because Rachel didn't like that
- 12:07Speaker 1: at all. But I think it's cute. I mean, I
- 12:10Speaker 1: think it's cute depending on the guy, of course, Like
- 12:12Speaker 1: if that was Blake asking for a kiss, I'd probably
- 12:15Speaker 1: say no, and that would be, you know, a great
- 12:17Speaker 1: way to say no. But actually, Um, in Paradise, Wells
- 12:21Speaker 1: asked me and they didn't edit that in, and I
- 12:23Speaker 1: thought it was the cutest thing in the entire world.
- 12:26Speaker 1: We were asking each other like random questions like what's
- 12:28Speaker 1: your fair band, what's your favorite food and all that,
- 12:30Speaker 1: and I go, do you have any more questions for me?
- 12:32Speaker 1: And he said, can I kiss you? I know who
- 12:35Speaker 1: Wells is, and I want to hear more about Wells
- 12:37Speaker 1: and and in the in the kiss that you had,
- 12:39Speaker 1: But first, can I tell you a little something of
- 12:42Speaker 1: an amazing experience I had? Um with a company called Zeal.
- 12:47Speaker 1: So so, Ashley, Zeal is this amazing massage company where they, Oh, Ben,
- 12:53Speaker 1: I know all about Zeal. I've had many Zeal massages
- 12:56Speaker 1: in the past couple of months. Are you serious? I
- 12:58Speaker 1: just had my first? Actually, how incredible is it? It's
- 13:01Speaker 1: so good. I actually became a member and I have
- 13:05Speaker 1: a I have a bed, you know, like a massage
- 13:07Speaker 1: table that was delivered to my house recently. So now
- 13:10Speaker 1: they don't even have to drag it up the stairs.
- 13:12Speaker 1: They can just kind of massage me. Okay, you're fully invested.
- 13:15Speaker 1: What I plan on doing? Um. If anybody out there
- 13:18Speaker 1: wants to get started using Zeal, um, you can get
- 13:22Speaker 1: twenty five dollars off your first massage by using the
- 13:25Speaker 1: promo code almost famous um when you check out of
- 13:28Speaker 1: the Zeal app. So I'm telling you, Ashley and I
- 13:31Speaker 1: aren't just saying this to say it. We are fully
- 13:34Speaker 1: invested to have somebody show up to your house and
- 13:37Speaker 1: give you a massage. It's so much more comfortable. That's
- 13:40Speaker 1: Zeal dot com, z e l dot com or just
- 13:43Speaker 1: download the Zeal app. Don't forget the promo code almost famous.
- 13:47Speaker 1: I'm all invested in Zeal you all should be too.
- 13:50Speaker 1: But first I'm invested in this story about well so
- 13:53Speaker 1: well steals your heart? Right? Actually, well yeah, but he
- 13:58Speaker 1: still doesn't have your heart. Okay, Well, so this is
- 14:01Speaker 1: something that I actually wanted to talk about. Um, I've
- 14:05Speaker 1: recently like said something like, oh, I totally make out
- 14:08Speaker 1: with Wells when next time I see him, And then
- 14:10Speaker 1: both my friends were like, what are you talking about?
- 14:13Speaker 1: Didn't know you were still into him? I was like, well,
- 14:15Speaker 1: necessarily like into him, like about thinking about on the rag,
- 14:18Speaker 1: I'm but I'm just thinking like, yeah, when I'm next
- 14:21Speaker 1: to I'm very attracted to him, like like kind of
- 14:24Speaker 1: still into it when I'm like in his presence. Is
- 14:26Speaker 1: this a thing? Like? Is this weird? Is this weird
- 14:29Speaker 1: that you're still attracted to him? No? Like in general,
- 14:32Speaker 1: like you can be like technically over someone would still
- 14:35Speaker 1: want to hook up with them. How many kisses in
- 14:37Speaker 1: your life, Ben, do you regret? Because I have a
- 14:41Speaker 1: list of twenty four guys. I know, I have a
- 14:43Speaker 1: kiss count. I literally have a kiss count. Because most
- 14:46Speaker 1: people count the number of people they slept with. I
- 14:49Speaker 1: count the number of people of kiss Anyway, was there
- 14:51Speaker 1: any regretful kisses in your past, because I think I
- 14:54Speaker 1: only have one or two. No, I mean a kiss
- 14:58Speaker 1: is a kiss, right like, Um, you know I've kissed
- 15:01Speaker 1: my pillow, I've kissed balloons. Did you practice before you kiss? Yes?
- 15:07Speaker 1: Of course you're not just going to go into something
- 15:10Speaker 1: you know unpracticed. I had to make sure that I
- 15:12Speaker 1: knew the right angles, the right lip to lip ratio,
- 15:17Speaker 1: the right is their tongue is They're not like I
- 15:20Speaker 1: needed to feel it out of it was the tongue
- 15:22Speaker 1: on your first kiss. I can't, honestly, I can't remember.
- 15:24Speaker 1: I'm I'm sure. I'm sure there's nothing about that first
- 15:27Speaker 1: kiss that would have been something you would have taken
- 15:28Speaker 1: away and be like he did. All right, it was.
- 15:30Speaker 1: It was probably hard for all of us involved. My
- 15:33Speaker 1: first kiss wasn't a nightmare. I uh well, I mean
- 15:37Speaker 1: we're on the topic. If if you can give us
- 15:39Speaker 1: a first kiss story, I would love to hear it,
- 15:41Speaker 1: because we're gonna move into one of the most frustrating
- 15:44Speaker 1: parts of the bachelorout this week. Um, and so to
- 15:47Speaker 1: lighten things up a little bit before we in turn that,
- 15:50Speaker 1: let's let's hear about it. Okay, I was underage in
- 15:52Speaker 1: a new York City burlesque club. You could end it there. Um, yeah,
- 16:00Speaker 1: my friend owned it. I was like hanging out with
- 16:03Speaker 1: a lot of like cool New York hipster guys for
- 16:06Speaker 1: some weird reason when I was yeah, nineteen, my first
- 16:10Speaker 1: kiss is that nineteen and it's sad anyway, Um, this
- 16:16Speaker 1: guy was friends with the owner and he was long haired,
- 16:21Speaker 1: skinny rocker guy. I was dancing with him and then
- 16:25Speaker 1: he literally no lip, just tongue in my mouth, all
- 16:29Speaker 1: just tongue. And then I went home and cried and
- 16:32Speaker 1: not gonna, not gonna lie. I was hugging my zac
- 16:35Speaker 1: Efron link Larkendhal when I got back to the hotel. Actually,
- 16:38Speaker 1: there's so much said story to unpack. One of them
- 16:40Speaker 1: is when I would picture a rocker kissing somebody, like,
- 16:44Speaker 1: it's not weird to me that it was only tongue
- 16:45Speaker 1: so like the A C, D C full tongue out,
- 16:48Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, And I was like, this is what
- 16:51Speaker 1: it's like. I just can't believe I just wasted my
- 16:53Speaker 1: first kiss on this. Maybe that's why I've been holding
- 16:55Speaker 1: out in the virginity thing, because I'm like, I don't
- 16:57Speaker 1: want it to be anything like my first kiss. Yeah,
- 16:59Speaker 1: I'm and if your first kisses is that aggressive, um,
- 17:03Speaker 1: I would just be caution and how you move forward
- 17:05Speaker 1: in life. So the final part about the Bachelor at
- 17:10Speaker 1: this week that stood out to me, and you and
- 17:12Speaker 1: I had talked about it, and so I wanted to
- 17:14Speaker 1: bring it up because you and I both are just
- 17:16Speaker 1: I felt like angry and and I don't think either
- 17:17Speaker 1: of us really get angry, um that often or that easy,
- 17:21Speaker 1: And and our anger kind of comes around the idea
- 17:24Speaker 1: of Lee. And and there's some news about Lee that's
- 17:27Speaker 1: came out this week that isn't exactly attractive for him
- 17:30Speaker 1: or good for him. Um, it's actually terrible for him,
- 17:33Speaker 1: and one that I don't personally respect. But personal opinions
- 17:37Speaker 1: aside um on this week's Bachelorrette, he to not be judgmental,
- 17:43Speaker 1: because we we've all gotten judged you. He was terrible, right, Yeah.
- 17:48Speaker 1: I was watching with my friend and she didn't seem
- 17:54Speaker 1: to see the evil that I saw like I saw.
- 17:58Speaker 1: I there's Bachelor of Islands in the franchise, but they're
- 18:02Speaker 1: all real sweethearts in real life. They're all actually fun,
- 18:05Speaker 1: nice people. Joe Bailey, Olivia. Um, well, if you want
- 18:08Speaker 1: to call Karin it if you want to call um Chad.
- 18:11Speaker 1: You know people think Chads scary. Chad's actually kind of
- 18:14Speaker 1: a teddy bear if you get to know him. This
- 18:16Speaker 1: man Lee has like the devil in his soul. That's
- 18:22Speaker 1: that's a that's a lot. But yeah, okay, continue. I
- 18:26Speaker 1: got really heated over watching him because intag like the
- 18:30Speaker 1: way he antagonized these guys and the way it was
- 18:34Speaker 1: so on purpose, and just looking into his eyes made
- 18:37Speaker 1: me very like see a lot of of there was.
- 18:45Speaker 1: There was a statement he made in the previews last night.
- 18:48Speaker 1: They said when I see somebody angry and I smile
- 18:51Speaker 1: at them and they get even angry. I think his
- 18:54Speaker 1: words were somewhere around the round. And I don't want
- 18:56Speaker 1: to qute him exactly because I don't know him for sure,
- 18:58Speaker 1: but it said something like I get joy in that
- 19:00Speaker 1: and to me and to me that that that just
- 19:03Speaker 1: made made my skin crawl, and I know it made
- 19:06Speaker 1: yours crawl because we we both you know, we're talking
- 19:09Speaker 1: about this week's podcast and what we're going to talk about,
- 19:12Speaker 1: and we both said, this guy right here is when
- 19:14Speaker 1: we need to watch out for from here and now.
- 19:16Speaker 1: Right Okay, So the other villains in the franchise, there's
- 19:18Speaker 1: usually a sense of humor aloon that comes with it.
- 19:20Speaker 1: They're like, oh, they're putting scary music behind it, and
- 19:22Speaker 1: they're saying something dumb. This was just this. There was
- 19:26Speaker 1: nothing funny about about his behavior. Nothing. You're actually friends
- 19:30Speaker 1: with one of the most famous villains from the franchise, right,
- 19:34Speaker 1: Uh who would that be? Oh? Yeah, Karan, I was
- 19:37Speaker 1: gonna say, they're Olivia too. I mean, I like, I
- 19:39Speaker 1: really like that, Okay, and either one of them are
- 19:42Speaker 1: actually villains. Yeah, but I think on their respective seasons, right,
- 19:48Speaker 1: they were there. That was kind of the character that
- 19:51Speaker 1: they played. To be honest, I think Taylor was really
- 19:54Speaker 1: the villain, and this season Taylor from next season, the
- 19:57Speaker 1: one that Karin had the two on one with she kid,
- 20:00Speaker 1: they kind of flipped switched, you know, to flip the
- 20:02Speaker 1: switch on us. Yeah. So I mean we have Karin
- 20:05Speaker 1: who was on a NIX season who um you're good
- 20:08Speaker 1: friends with, who was arguably the villain along with Taylor,
- 20:12Speaker 1: and then Olivia who was on my season of The Bachelor,
- 20:15Speaker 1: who I think played played the villain or just maybe
- 20:18Speaker 1: uh the woman who was misunderstood misunderstood. So as we
- 20:23Speaker 1: talked about Karin. She's actually gonna be in Paradise this year,
- 20:28Speaker 1: and we have a caller who I think we could
- 20:31Speaker 1: we could ask her, but I think she found love
- 20:33Speaker 1: in Paradise. Hey, Lace, are you out there here? He Hello? Lake.
- 20:41Speaker 1: So Lace was on my season of The Bachelor. Lace
- 20:46Speaker 1: is someone that I've gotten to know outside of the show.
- 20:49Speaker 1: She is a fellow Denver I and um, Lace came
- 20:54Speaker 1: back from Paradise this year with a man on her arm? Correct, Yes, Lace,
- 21:00Speaker 1: I want to know there that was really love right there?
- 21:03Speaker 1: Or was it less? I think it's a lot. There's
- 21:07Speaker 1: definitely a lot. What's the difference. Okay, So I think
- 21:12Speaker 1: loss is like sexually and you just kind of like
- 21:14Speaker 1: you have this fantasy of what you want and you
- 21:17Speaker 1: want to like you want it to work. Do you
- 21:19Speaker 1: think this guy's attractive? You think you're in love? It's
- 21:22Speaker 1: almost so forced. And then, um, first of love, I
- 21:27Speaker 1: found love right now, Like now I'm really in love?
- 21:30Speaker 1: Whoa whoa whoa whoa wa. So you're in love right now?
- 21:33Speaker 1: But not with Grant who was on Joe Joe's season
- 21:35Speaker 1: of the Bachelorette. Who you came back from Paradise with
- 21:39Speaker 1: with somebody else and that was a lot. Yeah, that
- 21:41Speaker 1: was okay. So with Granted was lost, but now you're
- 21:44Speaker 1: in love. Tell us about this guy? Yeah, Um, I
- 21:47Speaker 1: ironically found him on bumbo. It was a weird story.
- 21:51Speaker 1: But we just talked for like two months and then
- 21:52Speaker 1: we finallyma and the rest is history. That's it. You
- 21:56Speaker 1: talked for two months? What made you take so long
- 21:59Speaker 1: before meeting in real life? It's kind of funny because
- 22:02Speaker 1: remember how you had your Ashley, You had your event
- 22:04Speaker 1: in l at the beginning of January. Well, I had
- 22:07Speaker 1: constant travel, so I couldn't see him. He was busy
- 22:10Speaker 1: with work. We were just taxing, and we both were
- 22:12Speaker 1: just really crappy at texting each other back. And then
- 22:15Speaker 1: finally he sent me a tack and it was really funny,
- 22:18Speaker 1: and I like, why have I not met this guy yet?
- 22:19Speaker 1: And it finally went on our first date and yeah,
- 22:23Speaker 1: how long have you been together? Um, we're our past
- 22:27Speaker 1: four months now. Did you ever get worried that maybe
- 22:29Speaker 1: Grant would go back on the show and would you
- 22:31Speaker 1: care if you did? No, I just try lest I
- 22:34Speaker 1: hope he finds well wonderful. I'm excited to see you
- 22:39Speaker 1: next week in San Francisco. We have an event and

- 25:46Speaker 1: a lot of fun. I mean, we're we're just having
- 25:48Speaker 1: a lot of fun with that. That's one of the
- 25:49Speaker 1: bigger reasons that brought me out here to l a. Um.
- 25:53Speaker 1: Me and my my partners are just selling yoga pants,
- 25:56Speaker 1: T shirts and sits. Right now, Chase, I gotta rip
- 25:59Speaker 1: on your little bit right. You're you're you used to
- 26:01Speaker 1: live in Denver. We we've hung out a couple of
- 26:04Speaker 1: times here. Um, but but I got I gotta know, Okay,
- 26:09Speaker 1: what in the heck was up with the butt pick
- 26:11Speaker 1: with Robbie? I mean, I mean honestly, like I'm looking
- 26:13Speaker 1: at things that thing, and I'm thinking, how in the
- 26:15Speaker 1: world did this pick even happened? Like did you look
- 26:17Speaker 1: at your buddy and you just say like, hey, buddy,
- 26:20Speaker 1: like see you've been working out, like can we show
- 26:22Speaker 1: this off a little bit? Or or like it was
- 26:24Speaker 1: just this all of a sudden like this this picture
- 26:27Speaker 1: on Instagram of you and Robbie standing shortless like really
- 26:31Speaker 1: threw me off. I know, well that's you know, you're
- 26:34Speaker 1: not pushing the limits a little bit, then what are
- 26:37Speaker 1: you doing out here? But no, we were in Cuba
- 26:39Speaker 1: obviously having a lot of fun. The entire premise behind
- 26:43Speaker 1: that trip was just kind of constant creations. So we
- 26:45Speaker 1: were in front of the camera the whole time, and
- 26:48Speaker 1: you know, at some point you just kinda get a
- 26:51Speaker 1: little weird, I guess, and so we just dumped their
- 26:54Speaker 1: asses out for a minute. That picture came from I
- 26:58Speaker 1: think then we're just hanging out one you know, the
- 27:01Speaker 1: edits came through and that one gave us a big laugh,
- 27:04Speaker 1: and we're just kind of figured out. Why not Wait
- 27:07Speaker 1: a second, all the edits came through? Did you have
- 27:08Speaker 1: a professional photographer taking pictures? Yeah, it's photoshop. I knew it. Yeah,
- 27:14Speaker 1: I knew it. Well, maybe not edits proved that's the
- 27:19Speaker 1: same thing. Whatever, Yeah, you know it came It came
- 27:23Speaker 1: through on the emailed or not chase you had, you
- 27:28Speaker 1: had somebody there taking pictures of your butt. Interesting, you're
- 27:33Speaker 1: very particular about what you put on social media. I
- 27:35Speaker 1: can get super journalistic on your heir, but I'm gonna
- 27:37Speaker 1: let you go on this. Um. What made you decide
- 27:40Speaker 1: that that was the one to post? Um? You know,
- 27:44Speaker 1: it was just the one that gave both Robbie nine
- 27:48Speaker 1: a big laugh. Yeah, as you mentioned, it's you know,
- 27:50Speaker 1: if you're not getting a little weird, what are you doing?
- 27:53Speaker 1: Is Robbie going to Paradise? Robbie's he's already shipped out.
- 27:58Speaker 1: Oh so Robbi is already looking for love down south.
- 28:02Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm to share that information or not.
- 28:06Speaker 1: You can say, what's the worst that's going to happen? Um?
- 28:09Speaker 1: So is who's Robbie looking at in Paradise? Who does
- 28:12Speaker 1: he hope he mingles it with. Um, you know, he's
- 28:17Speaker 1: he spoke a little bit about Raisman. Obviously there's a
- 28:19Speaker 1: little bit of history there between me and Sarah. Wait
- 28:22Speaker 1: what I don't know this history? Yeah, you gotta explain
- 28:26Speaker 1: the history. We know it as friends, but the world doesn't.
- 28:29Speaker 1: I actually have no clue what you're talking about, So
- 28:31Speaker 1: please tell me. I think you know Robbie and they're
- 28:34Speaker 1: kind of met. Sarah Vendel If you remember her from
- 28:36Speaker 1: next season, she was the runner up quote quote, the
- 28:39Speaker 1: one who ran up to him and sneakers when she
- 28:41Speaker 1: did her limo entrance. There you go, Yeah, you're good Sarah. Yeah.
- 28:48Speaker 1: I mean they hung out quite a bit over the winter. Um,
- 28:51Speaker 1: she lives out here in l A. They hung out
- 28:55Speaker 1: a couple of times later, you know, soon as we
- 28:57Speaker 1: moved out here. I think it kind of fell part
- 29:00Speaker 1: a little bit. Um, But it will be interesting to
- 29:03Speaker 1: see how that plays out in Paradise. Can we confirm
- 29:07Speaker 1: that Sarah's there? Because I don't think she's there yet.
- 29:10Speaker 1: I have a good that she's going to be there.
- 29:15Speaker 1: I don't know if she's there yet. This is some
- 29:16Speaker 1: good stuff, So I hope all the listeners out there
- 29:18Speaker 1: here this watch out for not only Chase to show
- 29:21Speaker 1: up on the beach, but also for the for the
- 29:24Speaker 1: Robbie Sarah connection that we would be seeing very soon
- 29:28Speaker 1: in Bachelor Paradise. Chase, I want to tell you I
- 29:30Speaker 1: hope to see you there. I'm becoming a huge fan
- 29:33Speaker 1: of the Bachelor, Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise. So when
- 29:39Speaker 1: the Bachelor becomes a fan, yeah, like I'm actually a
- 29:43Speaker 1: fan now. So so Chase, I know the ladies are
- 29:46Speaker 1: going to be flatting over you and flocking at you.
- 29:48Speaker 1: So just go down there, have a good time, um
- 29:52Speaker 1: whenever that may be. Um, But until then, good luck
- 29:54Speaker 1: with leisure, Lettis and good things, good luck with everything
- 29:57Speaker 1: going on in l A. And Chase, just bear in
- 29:58Speaker 1: mind that there is a group thread with past guys
- 30:01Speaker 1: that are in it, and you and Robbie aren't in there,
- 30:04Speaker 1: but the guys make fun of you up the wall.
- 30:06Speaker 1: Zo of just letting you know an EPRs gift pr
- 30:11Speaker 1: right right, Hey, thanks a lot, Chase. We appreciate it, Buddy,
- 30:16Speaker 1: appreciate it. Thank you, guys. Have a good day. Hold
- 30:20Speaker 1: on a second, I have to I had to say
- 30:22Speaker 1: what I was going to say to him, and I cannot,
- 30:25Speaker 1: but I cannot with the butt picture because I'm going
- 30:29Speaker 1: to run him out. Should I run him out? Like?
- 30:30Speaker 1: Why am I feeling feisty right now? Ben? Should I
- 30:33Speaker 1: run them out? Uh? You know we have to also
- 30:36Speaker 1: be appreciative that he came onto our podcast. And this
- 30:41Speaker 1: is why Bet and I make the perfect team here
- 30:44Speaker 1: because I would talk too much and then he keeps
- 30:46Speaker 1: me in line. If if you have something you want
- 30:48Speaker 1: to say to Chase, I recommend two things. One thing
- 30:52Speaker 1: as you can probably get his number. Two is in
- 30:55Speaker 1: and even um, I think a better idea because, as
- 31:00Speaker 1: we talked about last week, your dating life isn't exactly
- 31:02Speaker 1: going to plan. Um do a texting Chase. Let's talk
- 31:08Speaker 1: about your dating history because last week we mentioned Chris
- 31:11Speaker 1: Strambert and Chris has continued to confuse it continue since
- 31:15Speaker 1: last week's episode? Correct? Correct? Okay, catch catch us all
- 31:19Speaker 1: up on that? All right? So let's see we left
- 31:22Speaker 1: off with that counting for that confrontation on the air,
- 31:25Speaker 1: and that was really awkward and I have never been
- 31:27Speaker 1: so embarrassed in very very long time. Then I saw
- 31:30Speaker 1: him two days later. Um that Clever TV, which is
- 31:33Speaker 1: where I do some hosting and we did a little
- 31:35Speaker 1: interview and he continued to tell me that I was
- 31:39Speaker 1: the prettiest girl he's ever seen in his life and
- 31:42Speaker 1: asked the and asked the crew. He was like, is
- 31:45Speaker 1: she not the prettiest person you've ever seen? And I'm like,
- 31:48Speaker 1: this is ridiculous. Okay, so then get this you guys.
- 31:53Speaker 1: Chris is going to be super pissed that we're airing
- 31:55Speaker 1: this um. But then again, he was probably in the wrong. Uh.
- 32:03Speaker 1: He The next day, it's his birthday and I text
- 32:07Speaker 1: him Happy Birthday. We go back and forth for a
- 32:09Speaker 1: little bit, and this is after he was flirtatious the
- 32:12Speaker 1: day before. Then about four hours after the initial birthday
- 32:15Speaker 1: conversation is over and which he tells me that he
- 32:18Speaker 1: wants to go on a hike with me this weekend.
- 32:20Speaker 1: Four hours later, he goes, hey, would you mind setting
- 32:24Speaker 1: me up with some of your friends? And I was like,
- 32:27Speaker 1: so that is him trying to really make it clear
- 32:30Speaker 1: that he does not want to actually date me, and
- 32:33Speaker 1: that is totally fine, But I also think that he
- 32:36Speaker 1: could get that set up through one of his guy friends,
- 32:39Speaker 1: even through you, because you know some of the girls
- 32:42Speaker 1: that he wanted me to set him up with I
- 32:45Speaker 1: do and I and I Chris is one of my
- 32:47Speaker 1: good friends. I think super highly Chris, and I know
- 32:49Speaker 1: that he's not doing anything here, um intentionally, it seems
- 32:55Speaker 1: very intentional. But when but when I talked to Chris
- 32:58Speaker 1: here recently, he mentioned that there might be something happening,
- 33:03Speaker 1: um this week, uh, with just the two of you
- 33:06Speaker 1: or with just the two of us. We're going to
- 33:09Speaker 1: the Nets on the Plot concert together. But it's definitely
- 33:11Speaker 1: just his friends. Well it sounds like it's just his friends. Oh,
- 33:16Speaker 1: but I should also say that he's like texted me
- 33:18Speaker 1: again saying something this week like asn't two days ago,
- 33:22Speaker 1: saying I'm falling in love with these pictures of you.
- 33:27Speaker 1: And I'm like, what he's laying it on thick? So confused?
- 33:32Speaker 1: I like how I like how thick he lays it on, Like,
- 33:36Speaker 1: I mean, oh my gosh, he's pictures of you are
- 33:39Speaker 1: so sexy. And in the next moment he's texting you
- 33:42Speaker 1: like and by the way, can you set me up
- 33:43Speaker 1: with your friends? It's so weird. And then that same
- 33:45Speaker 1: day that he texted me the whole like I'm falling
- 33:47Speaker 1: in love with these pictures of you. Think he ended
- 33:50Speaker 1: up he told me, he's like, you're prettier than Kim Kardashian,
- 33:53Speaker 1: Like you're so crazy. Ben. You know him probably way
- 33:56Speaker 1: better than I do. And I know that he's not
- 33:59Speaker 1: like a hook up guy, Like he's not looking for
- 34:02Speaker 1: a hook right, And like the good thing is I'm
- 34:05Speaker 1: not really invested in this. I'm just really mostly confused. Um.
- 34:09Speaker 1: All right, to close out the podcast this week, we're
- 34:12Speaker 1: gonna take one last caller. She's been on the line
- 34:14Speaker 1: now for a while, uh, with with a question it
- 34:17Speaker 1: looks like for me one that she she wants a
- 34:20Speaker 1: little more explanation on and I would love to give
- 34:23Speaker 1: it to her. So I think we have Eric out there. Yeah,
- 34:26Speaker 1: I saw Okay, so I saw your post and I've
- 34:28Speaker 1: always watch the show, Um, and I really was I mean,
- 34:31Speaker 1: I was rooting for you and Lawrence stayed together. But
- 34:35Speaker 1: I really think that you just speak like so well
- 34:39Speaker 1: about all this, Like you really made sense of a
- 34:41Speaker 1: situation that I think you were putting kind of a
- 34:43Speaker 1: bad place and people weren't being the kindest. Um, and
- 34:48Speaker 1: it was just like really nice to see being so
- 34:50Speaker 1: real about it. Well, thanks Erica. And and for those
- 34:54Speaker 1: who don't know the post she's talking about as a
- 34:56Speaker 1: post that I I put on Instagram this week. UM,
- 34:58Speaker 1: that really really came out of a place of of
- 35:03Speaker 1: a place from of peace. UM. And as Erica said,
- 35:06Speaker 1: you know, we haven't talked a lot about on the podcast,
- 35:08Speaker 1: but but Lauren, UM and I have broken up. And
- 35:12Speaker 1: it's easy to speak very positively of my relationship with
- 35:16Speaker 1: Lauren and of Lauren because of the woman she is
- 35:19Speaker 1: and in the place that we're at in our relationship. UM.
- 35:22Speaker 1: So that's not hard, right, That's that's easy. And and
- 35:25Speaker 1: I and I actually in a sense and joy speaking
- 35:27Speaker 1: highly of her because that's the only gift I can
- 35:30Speaker 1: still give her. UM. But the post came from a
- 35:34Speaker 1: place that is you have a lot of judgment coming
- 35:35Speaker 1: out of relationship. And and and I don't want to
- 35:37Speaker 1: talk a lot about my relationship with Lauren. That's not appropriate,
- 35:40Speaker 1: that's not right. But what I will say is that
- 35:44Speaker 1: when you really care about somebody, and you really love somebody,
- 35:47Speaker 1: and that has to end for whatever reason, even just
- 35:50Speaker 1: reasons that maybe either person can't really explain it just
- 35:53Speaker 1: just a feeling, it has to has to end, and
- 35:55Speaker 1: you have to go your separate ways. It hurts, it
- 35:58Speaker 1: hurts bad. And when you have people continually putting that
- 36:02Speaker 1: on you and and and saying things, um that not
- 36:05Speaker 1: only hurt me but also hurt Lauren, I felt like
- 36:09Speaker 1: it was time for me to make a post to
- 36:10Speaker 1: say to say one thing, and what I said was this,
- 36:13Speaker 1: you can judge me. You can you can judge Lauren.
- 36:16Speaker 1: I can't stop that. Um, but that won't affect me
- 36:19Speaker 1: because I only have one thing I will be judged by,
- 36:22Speaker 1: and and that is uh, my belief and it got
- 36:25Speaker 1: above and UM, I will hold myself to that standard.
- 36:29Speaker 1: I will hold myself to that standard through this podcast,
- 36:31Speaker 1: through the work that I do outside of this podcast, UM,
- 36:35Speaker 1: and I will hold myself to that standard in relationships.
- 36:38Speaker 1: And so for anybody wanting to hurt me, or to
- 36:41Speaker 1: hurt Lauren, or hurt anybody out there on social media,
- 36:44Speaker 1: I wanted to to communicate that you can do that,
- 36:47Speaker 1: but no, that I believe in something bigger than that,
- 36:51Speaker 1: and so your words won't hurt uh, they'll just sting
- 36:53Speaker 1: a little bit. And UM, So thanks Erica, I appreciate
- 36:58Speaker 1: you're asking about I know he's just wonderful. Um, that's
- 37:03Speaker 1: not no, and that's not it either. You know, I
- 37:04Speaker 1: get that, Like you know, part of that was what
- 37:07Speaker 1: we talked about being the perfect Ben, and that's not
- 37:09Speaker 1: the case. Is I fail often, I'm gonna feel often
- 37:12Speaker 1: and as as we continue to be vulnerable on a
- 37:14Speaker 1: podcast like this, Ashley and I are going to continue
- 37:16Speaker 1: to fail often. We're gonna say things that people want appreciate.
- 37:18Speaker 1: I'm gonna say especially instead of especially, and I'm gonna
- 37:22Speaker 1: make a statement that will probably come off in correctly
- 37:24Speaker 1: at some point, or I won't be as funny as
- 37:25Speaker 1: people expect and actually won't be as funny as people expect.
- 37:28Speaker 1: But we're trying, and we're doing this because not only
- 37:31Speaker 1: we do enjoy doing it, but we we also want
- 37:34Speaker 1: to entertain you and UM and and that and and
- 37:37Speaker 1: the you as the viewers and the listeners. So UM,
- 37:41Speaker 1: I I want to be vulnerable. UM. I want people
- 37:44Speaker 1: to know who I am and um, and part of
- 37:47Speaker 1: that is is making posts like that to just kind
- 37:49Speaker 1: of let everybody take a reality check. Um, because your
- 37:54Speaker 1: words can hurt somebody and uh and luckily they're not
- 37:58Speaker 1: gonna hurt me. So with that, UM, this was the
