- 2:10Speaker 2: Uh you said, there's another one? Is there another moment?
- 2:13Speaker 5: Somebody?
- 2:13Speaker 6: I mean, barb icon Barb is iconic.
- 2:18Speaker 4: Wait, Pete just went on a cruise just with his mom.
- 2:21Speaker 4: It was like, you know, a sponsored cruise, but like
- 2:23Speaker 4: he decided to take his mom on it, so like,
- 2:26Speaker 4: that's so entertaining. I gotta go watch that content.
- 2:29Speaker 3: Yeah, now I have two as well.
- 2:31Speaker 1: I didn't know that.
- 2:33Speaker 2: I've had dinner at Barbe's house by the way without
- 2:35Speaker 2: Repete there.
- 2:36Speaker 4: Gosh, with alf Pete there. How do you just drop
- 2:39Speaker 4: this on the snow tell us everything?
- 2:42Speaker 2: It was Gary Turner, Barbe, her husband, and I and
- 2:46Speaker 2: some of their friends and never got aired on TV,
- 2:50Speaker 2: but we filled the whole thing there. It was so good,
- 2:54Speaker 2: it was so fun. They're sweet people. They had a
- 2:57Speaker 2: whole photo boos set up. They're so excited. Uh, and
- 3:00Speaker 2: they were so hospitable to us. I remember going, this
- 3:04Speaker 2: is this is fantastic. And she also is as Barbis
- 3:08Speaker 2: is as real as real comes.
- 3:11Speaker 7: Oh gosh, Joe's are probably all but himself.
- 3:16Speaker 4: No, I mean mine probably is too.
- 3:21Speaker 8: When you say lives ren free in your mind, what
- 3:24Speaker 8: what does that mean?
- 3:25Speaker 9: Exactly?
- 3:26Speaker 7: It just is something that like always pops up in
- 3:28Speaker 7: your mind. It's always there. You don't have to like
- 3:30Speaker 7: work to think about it. It's just like.
- 3:32Speaker 5: Something I would say.
- 3:33Speaker 8: I would say, Yeah, I mean I think when you
- 3:36Speaker 8: go on the show, it's hard for it. It's to
- 3:38Speaker 8: not be something.
- 3:39Speaker 5: That you did.
- 3:40Speaker 8: You did, and for me, I think and listen, our
- 3:45Speaker 8: engagement was great, love it.
- 3:49Speaker 5: I wasn't expecting to say engagement, so you don't have
- 3:51Speaker 5: to preface.
- 3:52Speaker 4: Don't worry that wasn't I don't think about that often.
- 3:55Speaker 2: But I would say for me, because yours mine, because
- 3:59Speaker 2: we recap.
- 4:00Speaker 8: The show and we recapt so many night ones, and
- 4:02Speaker 8: because my night one was went so bad for me,
- 4:06Speaker 8: I would say, like just going home night one is
- 4:09Speaker 8: something that that would be that.
- 4:11Speaker 7: One haunts you for sure, I'm gonna go like most
- 4:14Speaker 7: of the things that Clayton did.
- 4:17Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, there's the scene where there was the three
- 4:22Speaker 4: of them or was it just the two of them
- 4:24Speaker 4: still standing there?
- 4:25Speaker 7: Yeah, and then like Rachel crying on the stairs. It
- 4:29Speaker 7: felt so horrible that they had to go through that,
- 4:32Speaker 7: but those moments were really iconic. And also again Joe
- 4:37Speaker 7: and I were just doing like some like Bachelor hot
- 4:40Speaker 7: takes and stuff like that, and we were saying like
- 4:42Speaker 7: his season brought a lot of newness, like things that
- 4:45Speaker 7: hadn't happened before, and that's always fun.
- 4:50Speaker 4: Yes, definitely, the.
- 4:52Speaker 10: First thing that came up to my head was my
- 4:53Speaker 10: like hospital gown thing like I can't leave that down.
- 4:56Speaker 5: It just a good one. Yeah, it's a good one.
- 4:58Speaker 5: Oh my god.
- 4:59Speaker 4: Who would have thought that Jonathan, one of the more
- 5:04Speaker 4: eligible men on that season, would have been the guy
- 5:07Speaker 4: that came out in the hospital again.
- 5:09Speaker 10: You know what, I think you asked anybody the day
- 5:11Speaker 10: that episode premiered, they would have been like this guy
- 5:13Speaker 10: going on home.
- 5:13Speaker 4: For sure, You're very lucky to get through the first episode,
- 5:18Speaker 4: but that's because you were hiding your face to face.
- 5:24Speaker 10: I did.
- 5:24Speaker 5: It was like a whole moment.
- 5:27Speaker 10: I was in that mask like seven hours and oh yeah,
- 5:33Speaker 10: I had to go back to the bathroom and rewrap
- 5:34Speaker 10: like three times, like you can't let the guys see
- 5:36Speaker 10: your face.
- 5:36Speaker 5: I was like, dude, it's falling off. That was like
- 5:38Speaker 5: in our season, James was in that damn box over twelve.
- 5:42Speaker 10: Come out.
- 5:43Speaker 5: He never came out though, bro, I don't think so.
- 5:45Speaker 5: He was just in the box.
- 5:47Speaker 4: You couldn't remember that too. Oh my gosh, you guys,
- 5:51Speaker 4: But hold on with Jonathan. It's so interesting because you
- 5:54Speaker 4: think that the guys thought that you were probably like
- 5:56Speaker 4: not that cute.
- 5:58Speaker 10: They did, They said it if you watched it back
- 6:00Speaker 10: to like this guy's probably beat and I was like.
- 6:02Speaker 5: This is crazy, that's so crazy, and I had to
- 6:05Speaker 5: unwrap on. Yeah, I just flashed my ass, made him
- 6:10Speaker 5: all uncomfortable, justin your moment, you know. I think mine's
- 6:16Speaker 5: gonna be really cliche, but I think there were a
- 6:20Speaker 5: lot of moments from Hannah Brown season.
- 6:23Speaker 4: The podium, move podium, it's hard to beat the windmills.
- 6:27Speaker 5: It's hard. It's hard to beat. Yeah, yeah, it's good answer.
- 6:32Speaker 5: No one doesn't get old. H I also love Lea
- 6:35Speaker 5: as You're welcome.
- 6:37Speaker 4: When did you say that?
- 6:38Speaker 10: This is in paradise. I was like, hey, I just
- 6:41Speaker 10: want to be friends, and she got upset with me
- 6:44Speaker 10: the row ceremony. She's put it in my face. She goes,
- 6:46Speaker 10: you're welcome.
- 6:48Speaker 4: You met her boyfriend? Yeah, I have? And how is.
- 6:51Speaker 5: He seems very nice? Fellows, super nice, awesome.
- 6:54Speaker 4: She was like being crazy, like getting him everything under
- 6:57Speaker 4: the sun from CBS.
- 7:00Speaker 2: And we were all like, she's a lover.
- 7:04Speaker 5: She'll take care of you to the day you die.
- 7:06Speaker 5: He's going to be very well taken care of.
- 7:20Speaker 2: Hey, everybody, it's been jumping back in here. I love
- 7:22Speaker 2: hearing these rent free moments because it's reminding me of
- 7:26Speaker 2: some of the iconic times that this show has had
- 7:30Speaker 2: well and some of them I've honestly forgotten. Let's dive
- 7:34Speaker 2: back into these.
- 7:35Speaker 11: I have two yes, Kathy and her zipp It and
- 7:41Speaker 11: Joan when we found out that.
- 7:44Speaker 5: What's for your daughter? Two moments I'll never forget.
- 7:48Speaker 11: I'll tell you what the zipp It for me is
- 7:50Speaker 11: one I'll never forget. One in the moment I will
- 7:53Speaker 11: ever forget is when Sean and Alicia came in at
- 7:58Speaker 11: the end of the show with and basically attacked Dale
- 8:05Speaker 11: and Cat, mostly Cat. I literally I actually got up
- 8:09Speaker 11: and walked off the set. That was so hard to
- 8:11Speaker 11: watch for me. That was a moment I know that
- 8:14Speaker 11: it doesn't live Rent Fretty Frankly, it's that was a.
- 8:17Speaker 5: Tough one, lived one.
- 8:20Speaker 11: Yeah, But the best one is like seeing Spencer and
- 8:24Speaker 11: Jess and seeing them get engaged, Like there's so many
- 8:27Speaker 11: wonderful to pick one.
- 8:29Speaker 6: It's really tough because Vine was and it's a good one,
- 8:35Speaker 6: and it just showed like the girl relationship, the girls
- 8:39Speaker 6: relationship when Daisy and Kelsey had their last encounter and
- 8:42Speaker 6: and Daisy said to Kelsey, he's yours, Like I can
- 8:46Speaker 6: see that that this isn't I'm bowing out.
- 8:48Speaker 5: I'm leaving.
- 8:49Speaker 6: And I was like, God, that just empowered, Like it
- 8:52Speaker 6: empowered Daisy in such a great way. And it and
- 8:54Speaker 6: it gave Kelsey like like no more guilt, Like this
- 8:58Speaker 6: is yours and I want you to be happy. I
- 9:00Speaker 6: don't want to I don't want to be part of
- 9:01Speaker 6: your relationship. And just like her bowing out, like that
- 9:04Speaker 6: was such a great moment.
- 9:06Speaker 8: That is so true.
- 9:08Speaker 4: You just brought up a memory for me.
- 9:11Speaker 6: They were in that limo, they were coming together.
- 9:14Speaker 5: It's like, oh, it's so good.
- 9:15Speaker 11: So many good moments.
- 9:18Speaker 5: The swamp. Yeah, that was that was.
- 9:22Speaker 4: You know what, that's a good answer. The swamp remind
- 9:26Speaker 4: the people what we're you're referring to.
- 9:30Speaker 9: That's when Zach broke the news to me in a
- 9:34Speaker 9: swamp while it's raining. I've got like little tadpoles nibbling
- 9:37Speaker 9: at my ankles. I'm like humiliated. So yeah, that would
- 9:41Speaker 9: be the most Yeah.
- 9:44Speaker 4: Yeah, we all have our bachelor moments when when we're
- 9:47Speaker 4: a bachelor married couple, Like the things that we have
- 9:49Speaker 4: in the back in the history that we know about,
- 9:53Speaker 4: it's weird.
- 9:54Speaker 9: It's weird relationships made in all the rainbows and butterflies
- 9:59Speaker 9: are made in the swamp times.
- 10:01Speaker 4: There you go, exactly. I can relate the crabby times,
- 10:06Speaker 4: a gold see weird time, weird times. You seem like
- 10:11Speaker 4: you may have watched The Bachelor in the past.
- 10:13Speaker 12: Okay, so I've seen a little bit of it. I've
- 10:16Speaker 12: seen Trista's season back in the day, okay.
- 10:19Speaker 4: Twenty two three years ago, twenty three years ago.
- 10:22Speaker 12: Yeah, I admitted and a half ago dog in Golden Years,
- 10:26Speaker 12: and then I did watch every episode of the both
- 10:29Speaker 12: Golden seasons for sure, Okay, all right, and then a
- 10:32Speaker 12: couple episodes here and there other other ones.
- 10:36Speaker 4: Is there a moment in those seasons that you did
- 10:38Speaker 4: watch that you think of all the time, As we
- 10:41Speaker 4: like to say, lives rent free in your mind, outside
- 10:45Speaker 4: of mind, outside of yours or ears included.
- 10:47Speaker 12: Well, you know, there's some epic ones in mind. The
- 10:50Speaker 12: walk off the walk off the dock was a pretty
- 10:52Speaker 12: big one.
- 10:52Speaker 4: It's a good memory for me as a viewer. I
- 10:55Speaker 4: was like, yes, yes, I was like yes.
- 10:59Speaker 5: Like a little vulgar watching TV. I think I heard you.
- 11:03Speaker 12: I think I heard a whole group of you guys
- 11:05Speaker 12: yelling as I was contemplating that how about get Up?
- 11:10Speaker 5: Yeah, that was fun.
- 11:11Speaker 12: I remember Hannah, and I don't know what season because
- 11:14Speaker 12: I don't watch it verty much. I remember at one
- 11:16Speaker 12: point somebody came back and she was he was trying
- 11:18Speaker 12: to engage with her, and she moved the podium, she
- 11:21Speaker 12: moved the rose holder. There was another one from a
- 11:25Speaker 12: Golden season, well from Golden Bachelor of season one, where
- 11:30Speaker 12: Nancy put on a wedding dress in a photo shoot
- 11:35Speaker 12: and you could just tell it was unexpected. It came
- 11:38Speaker 12: out of nowhere, but it triggered something in her. And
- 11:41Speaker 12: I always remember that came, you know, as I was
- 11:45Speaker 12: right after I was getting a divorce and I lost
- 11:47Speaker 12: my dad and I lost my grandfather, and just sometimes
- 11:50Speaker 12: that grief out of nowhere can overwhelm you like a
- 11:54Speaker 12: like a wave in the ocean. And I remember watching
- 11:57Speaker 12: that and feeling so connected to that feeling.
- 12:01Speaker 2: I want to say thanks to Bachelor Nation alum who
- 12:04Speaker 2: jumped on with us. We've got more dramatic, shocking, memorable
- 12:08Speaker 2: moments coming, but until then, I've been Ben
