Speaker 1: she's doing it completely on her own. She doesn't have
2:34
Speaker 1: a network, Like she literally records and uploads it by herself.
2:38
Speaker 1: And she's like, if you're offriended by anything, I don't care,
2:40
Speaker 1: just don't listen to me. And I don't want to
2:42
Speaker 1: network because I don't want people to tell me what's
2:44
Speaker 1: offensive and what is it kind of like respect anyway.
2:49
Speaker 1: So her boyfriend and her have a really fun dynamic
2:52
Speaker 1: because he is the chilliest guy ever. He's just very
2:57
Speaker 1: laid back. He reminds me a lot of Tanner Tolbert,
3:00
Speaker 1: and she is, of course so wild, and they just
3:04
Speaker 1: balance each other out very nicely. She seemed happy. Oh
3:08

3:11
Speaker 1: and not being shy about it. Yeah, like one of
3:15
Speaker 1: those I have a friend like that. So like one

Speaker 1: want to get married, Like I'm waiting, like you need
3:24
Speaker 1: to do this now. I'm like some relationship where like
3:27
Speaker 1: it's kind of like that unsaid thing that like isn't okay,
3:30
Speaker 1: that's kind of I wouldn't know. But she knows she
3:32
Speaker 1: like made multiple remarks about like, I'm waiting for the
3:36
Speaker 1: rag all out there. I would never I could never
3:39
Speaker 1: be like that. I don't feel like I like it
3:41
Speaker 1: would need to feel like. He made that decision without
3:44
Speaker 1: any sort of pressure on him. So we'll celebrate the
3:47
Speaker 1: day that that ring does come here because you've been
3:49
Speaker 1: behind the scenes of it. When she does get engaged,
3:52
Speaker 1: if that happens, no pressure, buddy, Um, we will will
3:56
Speaker 1: be celebrating here. Huh. They've they've been together for a
3:58
Speaker 1: year and a half and they moved into each other.
4:01
Speaker 1: She moved into his place four months into the relationship.
4:04
Speaker 1: I and he knows her pretty well, all right, So
4:07
Speaker 1: there's something that's gone on with you and your relationship
4:10
Speaker 1: that's kind of funny. So my mom texted me a
4:14
Speaker 1: picture the other day because you have my my home
4:17
Speaker 1: Virginia address, she'd send me a picture of your saved
4:21
Speaker 1: the date. Um, but I was like thinking, I'm pretty
4:24
Speaker 1: sure she sent me this exact same text a couple
4:27
Speaker 1: of weeks ago. What happened? Yeah, so is there is
4:31
Speaker 1: some drama in paradise here at the future Higgins household. Um,
4:36
Speaker 1: we have our wedding coming up. In November, and Jessica
4:39
Speaker 1: has been working. And I say that because Jessica has
4:41
Speaker 1: been working really hard, her mom, my mom, Jessica have
4:45
Speaker 1: been working very hard on this wedding. Well, we got
4:49
Speaker 1: wedding invite or saved the dates made. Obviously I was
4:53
Speaker 1: there when they came in. I was excited. I saw them.
4:57
Speaker 1: I said, what a cool picture and pushed them to
5:00
Speaker 1: the side, not because I don't care, just because that
5:03
Speaker 1: just doesn't excite me, you know, as much as it
5:06
Speaker 1: excites them to have saved the dates coming the mail.
5:08
Speaker 1: Super pumped for it, though, so we send them out
5:10
Speaker 1: to everybody. I started getting text hey, we got your saved,
5:13
Speaker 1: the day we got your saved, the day we got
5:14
Speaker 1: your saved to date. And then I started getting text
5:16
Speaker 1: saying I went to the website and this doesn't look
5:20
Speaker 1: like you and Jessica, and in fact it's not, and
5:23
Speaker 1: so on the it's a different couple. It's a different couple. Unfortunately,
5:28
Speaker 1: my God, the the people not to like throw anybody
5:34
Speaker 1: in the bus. It's not Jessica, it's not her mom,
5:35
Speaker 1: it's not my mom. The people in charge of putting
5:37
Speaker 1: our wedding invites together or saved the dates together, made
5:40
Speaker 1: a mistake, which happens in life. No harm, no foul,
5:43
Speaker 1: but the wrong wedding address website was put on the
5:48
Speaker 1: save the dates. So as a result, we sent out
5:52
Speaker 1: to save the dates and now their second one. Yeah,
5:58
Speaker 1: was that a big money hit? Uh? You know what,
6:02
Speaker 1: I haven't asked. I'm sure. I'm sure it was. I
6:07
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, here's the thing, Uh, mistakes happened. Unfortunately,
6:12
Speaker 1: it happens on the very first thing that we send
6:15
Speaker 1: out for our wedding. But if this is the worst
6:17
Speaker 1: thing that happens as we lead up to this big day,
6:20
Speaker 1: I'm good with it. Will pay for it. But it's
6:23
Speaker 1: not a bad blooper. It's not the worst blooper. I
6:26
Speaker 1: mean no. And now people have two pictures of us
6:28
Speaker 1: in their house, so like my you know, my ego
6:31
Speaker 1: is very excited because I'm sure that people's refrigerators not
6:35
Speaker 1: just one. You got two pictures of Jessica and I uh,
6:39
Speaker 1: I think it's all been fixed because the second same
6:41
Speaker 1: the date should have arrived now. But the behind the
6:45
Speaker 1: scenes of this, actually, I mean it was wild, chaotic,
6:48
Speaker 1: like people were freaking out. But I think we've made
6:52
Speaker 1: it through Okay, fantastic, fantastic. I want to address the
6:56
Speaker 1: fact that you have I believe, four hundred people being
7:01
Speaker 1: invited to your rudding. That's right, Yeah, I mean COVID
7:05
Speaker 1: four hundred more seconds save the dates. We did four
7:09
Speaker 1: hundred more seconds save the dates. Um. Really exciting, Like
7:14
Speaker 1: I said, and the like, here is my my beautiful fiancee, uh,
7:19
Speaker 1: sitting on the floor, Uh, stamping addressing, putting them in envelopes.
7:25
Speaker 1: Uh she really doing that by hand herself. Oh yeah,
7:29
Speaker 1: oh yeah, Are you just trying to be humbling right now? No,
7:32
Speaker 1: she really is. She I I literally I walked into
7:36
Speaker 1: our house. Uh right now. So she's up in this
7:40
Speaker 1: house in Golden Colorado. I walk into the living room
7:43
Speaker 1: and there she is. She has them all spread out
7:45
Speaker 1: across the liver groom. She's stamping him, she's putting in
7:49
Speaker 1: the she's she has this like tool to like close
7:51
Speaker 1: the envelope. She wasn't licking all of them. That sounds
7:53
Speaker 1: dangerous for them, you mean, like that Seignfeld episode. Yeah,
7:57
Speaker 1: especially do you know what I'm talking about? I do,
7:59
Speaker 1: I know exact what you're talking about. Yeah, she has
8:01
Speaker 1: this like glue stick type thing that she was using.
8:04
Speaker 1: She's working hard on it, and I think we've saved that.
8:07
Speaker 1: I think she saved the day. Again. I cannot take
8:09
Speaker 1: any credit for this so distant. If you don't know
8:13
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about, there's an episode where George's fiance
8:17
Speaker 1: is literally licking all the postage for their wedding invitations
8:22
Speaker 1: and she gets poisoned and dies. You know. The other
8:27
Speaker 1: part is the paper cut would be I got a
8:30
Speaker 1: paper cut yesterday, A tongue paper cut. How bad would
8:34
Speaker 1: that be? I mean I got one. I was I
8:37
Speaker 1: was working through some envelopes yesterday and reading some mail,
8:40
Speaker 1: and I reached down and like one got me right
8:43
Speaker 1: on the finger here and it. I mean, I don't
8:45
Speaker 1: know the last time you got a paper cut. I
8:46
Speaker 1: feel like I got him more when I was younger. Um,
8:50
Speaker 1: but they hurt. I mean, it's like I can't remember
8:53
Speaker 1: how they are so bad they'll put a grown human
8:57
Speaker 1: to their knees. Um, so that's been our life. Wait then,
9:01
Speaker 1: I have more questions about the one. I keep asking, Okay,
9:07
Speaker 1: how can you run off some of the bachelor names
9:09
Speaker 1: that will be in attendance as do all of them?
9:12
Speaker 1: Because that could be like really stressful if somebody doesn't
9:14
Speaker 1: hear themselves on the list because you accidentally forgot them.
9:17
Speaker 1: But run through maybe ten because if you're having four people,
9:21
Speaker 1: I know there's at least ten, and then there's probably
9:24
Speaker 1: there's probably thirty. Yeah, um, okay, so we got you
9:29
Speaker 1: and Jared, uh, Becca Koufrin h uh, Dean uh and
9:37
Speaker 1: Wells and Kaylin obviously um and Sarah but she's not
9:40
Speaker 1: like a part of that world necessarily. Uh. We also
9:45
Speaker 1: have Nick Uh, we have um uh Becka Tilly Um.
9:53
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of who else. I mean, there's
9:54
Speaker 1: a lot, Like I'm trying to it's definitely a core,
9:56
Speaker 1: a core group right there. Blake Courtsman, Um, it was
10:00
Speaker 1: in Denver. I just went to his DJ set Saturday night.
10:03
Speaker 1: I'll tell you about that in a second. But yeah,
10:05
Speaker 1: that there's a lot more. I'm not naming them all,
10:08
Speaker 1: but there is a lot. Okay, though those were the
10:10
Speaker 1: expected ones, those are definitely top of the lists expected
10:13
Speaker 1: for me. Yeah, they're like close friends, like these are
10:15
Speaker 1: people who have a hard, big part of my life,
10:18
Speaker 1: you know, way past the show. Um so yes, but uh,
10:24
Speaker 1: the so listen this Saturday night, Blake Horseman, who is
10:28
Speaker 1: a DJ. Uh kind of travels around. Now. Um, he
10:33
Speaker 1: had a DJ set in Denver, Colorado, and so I
10:38
Speaker 1: went along with a few buddies of mine to support him.
10:40
Speaker 1: I haven't got to see him play live yet. I knew, uh,
10:43
Speaker 1: he's pretty good at this. So we went to this
10:47
Speaker 1: socially distant DJ party. Super fun. How is that possible?
10:51
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not judging, I just want to know.
10:54
Speaker 1: Is it really socially distant? Yeah? It really was, which
10:57
Speaker 1: makes this hilarious. And so here's this. Here's a scene.
11:00
Speaker 1: You have to have a table, so all the tables
11:01
Speaker 1: are spread out. Um, you get like four people at
11:04
Speaker 1: your table. And then Blake was like, everybody needs to
11:08
Speaker 1: stand up to the entire show. So everybody is standing
11:10
Speaker 1: up dancing around their table for like this hour and
11:14
Speaker 1: a half set. It was absolutely hilarious. I kept looking
11:19
Speaker 1: back at the crowd because I was kind of sitting
11:20
Speaker 1: up front and just laughing because like, everybody's having a ball.
11:24
Speaker 1: They get to hear live music for the first time. Yeah,
11:26
Speaker 1: everybody's kind of standing around their table while doing it.
11:28
Speaker 1: So like, wait a second, this sounds like the ideal
11:32
Speaker 1: club scenario for me. You're telling me that I don't
11:36
Speaker 1: have to be in a crowded pit where somebody is
11:38
Speaker 1: bumping into me with their drink. I can just stay
11:41
Speaker 1: with my core group and even sit in the booth
11:44
Speaker 1: and maybe munch on something during the entire experience. Yes,
11:49
Speaker 1: let maybe that's what we'll do. Is like you go
11:52
Speaker 1: to this club to not have to interact and like
11:55
Speaker 1: push up against anybody else. It was, it was great,
11:58
Speaker 1: But here's what happens actually, Oh my god. So it's
12:02
Speaker 1: like starts late at night, right, and I go and
12:04
Speaker 1: I'm having a great time. Um, and I leave and
12:08
Speaker 1: my buddies I was with us, like hey, let's go
12:10
Speaker 1: get one more drink. It's like okay, cool. Well before
12:13
Speaker 1: like we're all sitting around at this like bar, it's
12:15
Speaker 1: really great. And I looked out on my clock and
12:17
Speaker 1: it's one o'clock in the morning, the latest you've stayed
12:21
Speaker 1: out and stayed up for at least a year. Ben.
12:24
Speaker 1: You guys. If I text Ben at his time nine thirty,
12:28
Speaker 1: I do not get a response until the morning. And
12:30
Speaker 1: I'm like, are you kidding me? I thought nine thirty
12:32
Speaker 1: would still be early enough. No, I'm sound asleep at
12:37
Speaker 1: like ten o'clock. Is like when I turned the lights off.
12:40
Speaker 1: So one o'clock in the morning for me was rough.
12:42
Speaker 1: So I was like, okay, I'm going home and go home.
12:44
Speaker 1: I fall asleep, I go to bed. My alarm goes
12:47
Speaker 1: off at six thirty UM in the morning because it's
12:50
Speaker 1: just like when I have it set, I wake up,
12:53
Speaker 1: I get up. Ashley still to this day right now
12:56
Speaker 1: as we're talking, I don't know hungover, I you like
13:00
Speaker 1: more now it's exhaustion, Like I don't know what's happened
13:04
Speaker 1: to me. In fact, I was at lunch today just
13:06
Speaker 1: can I went on a lunch date and we're talking
13:08
Speaker 1: about our childhood and I was like, you know, I
13:09
Speaker 1: was like I was pretty wild, like I did some
13:12
Speaker 1: crazy stuff. And I was like, you know what, I
13:14
Speaker 1: still feel like I have like a wild side in me.
13:17
Speaker 1: And she's like, Ben, you just said that you want
13:20
Speaker 1: to go to bed at eight o'clock tonight. I was like, okay,
13:23
Speaker 1: well enough. What I can't deal with anymore with drinking
13:28
Speaker 1: is the sugar. Like I don't get hungover from the alcohol,
13:31
Speaker 1: but I feel like hungover from sugar, does that make sense?
13:37
Speaker 1: Is puffy and thirsty and just like I get hungover
13:42
Speaker 1: from salt. I just get like, if I have like
13:45
Speaker 1: a salty dinner, I wake up in the morning puffy.
13:47
Speaker 1: What I mean, I just feel like half my life
13:50
Speaker 1: is battling trying to feel better. Um, that's exactly what
13:54
Speaker 1: I mean. The salt and sugar. You feel it once
13:57
Speaker 1: you turn thirty. It's wild. Well, hey, uh, this is
14:00
Speaker 1: gonna be a great podcast. We do have a lot
14:03
Speaker 1: of Bachelor headlines to run through and more stories to come.
14:06
Speaker 1: There's a lot going on behind the scenes right now
14:08
Speaker 1: that we're digging into. As we speak. Our team is
14:11
Speaker 1: plugging away calling context. We'll have a great podcast for
14:14
Speaker 1: you next week as well, but uh, for this week,
14:16
Speaker 1: let's take a break. We come back with Bachelor headlines.
14:29
Speaker 1: It's another week of Bachelor headlines. And most of you
14:33
Speaker 1: probably know this. If you listen to this podcast, you
14:35
Speaker 1: probably follow the web of rumors that circle around Bachelor Nation. Well,
14:41
Speaker 1: one of the rumors that are going on right now
14:43
Speaker 1: is that Matt James and Rachel have been seen officially
14:48
Speaker 1: seen together in New York City. Now, the context to
14:53
Speaker 1: why they were together is something Ashley is gonna explain
14:55
Speaker 1: if we know anything about it, but it can be
14:57
Speaker 1: confirmed that Matt, James and Rachel. We're scene together. Okay,
15:02
Speaker 1: so we'll admit we got this info from Reality Steve.
15:05
Speaker 1: I watched his entire thirty minutes on this and guys,
15:10
Speaker 1: this is juicy. Um all right. So last week when
15:15
Speaker 1: the picture came out of the two of them walking
15:18
Speaker 1: across the street New York City, I like, my little
15:21
Speaker 1: like hopeless romantic heart was super happy. I was like,
15:25
Speaker 1: no way, how wonderful. You know their dury kindling, And
15:30
Speaker 1: apparently a lot has changed in the past week. So
15:34
Speaker 1: to condense that thirty minute storytelling session that Reality Steve had, uh,
15:40
Speaker 1: Rachel and Matt have been talking face timing ever since
15:46
Speaker 1: the reunion the after final rose, so for about a
15:49
Speaker 1: month now, Matt was supposedly allegedly saying things along the
15:55
Speaker 1: lines of like I love you and I still want
15:57
Speaker 1: to be with you. I don't know if this was
16:00
Speaker 1: the first time they saw each other face to face
16:03
Speaker 1: in New York City, but allegedly he was the one
16:07
Speaker 1: who booked the flight for her to come see him there. Well.
16:11
Speaker 1: Apparently a couple of days before that New York City meeting,
16:17
Speaker 1: Matt was texting another girl named Grace, trying to link
16:20
Speaker 1: up with her that night, romantically or otherwise, but supposedly
16:25
Speaker 1: I'm gonna use supposedly and allegedly a lot in this
16:29
Speaker 1: um he had hooked up with her before the Bachelor
16:34
Speaker 1: UM and that he was faithful to ray children in
16:37
Speaker 1: the time that they were officially together. Okay, but he
16:40
Speaker 1: wanted to meet up with this girl named Grace in
16:42
Speaker 1: Miami a couple of days previously. UM. So bottom line,
16:47
Speaker 1: he was kind of talking to this girl, Grace while
16:49
Speaker 1: also trying to rekindle things with Rachel When in New York.
16:54
Speaker 1: It seemed like everything was going great between Rachel and
16:57
Speaker 1: Matt until somebody ends up telling Rachel that Matt's been
17:03
Speaker 1: seeing talking to his girl named Grace at the same
17:06
Speaker 1: time when he's trying to rekindle. So once finding this out,
17:11
Speaker 1: Rachel was just totally done, left Matt, who she was
17:15
Speaker 1: staying with, and went to dinner with some friends, and
17:19
Speaker 1: this source over her at the restaurant overheard her crying
17:23
Speaker 1: about Matt and the whole situation with Grace. UM. And
17:27
Speaker 1: then I believe that Grace has done an interview with
17:29
Speaker 1: Reality Steve at this point, So Matt and Rachel are
17:33
Speaker 1: now put again because he was talking to some other
17:38
Speaker 1: girl me O, Well, okay, A couple of questions for you. One,
17:45
Speaker 1: we don't know the context to Matt's relationship with Rachel,
17:48
Speaker 1: Like they were talking, obviously they were very serious for
17:52
Speaker 1: a period of time. Is it weird of me? And
17:56
Speaker 1: please tell me if this is anybody tell me if
17:58
Speaker 1: this like Matt's single and so if he was like
18:02
Speaker 1: talking to multiple people at once, as long as there
18:06
Speaker 1: is no agreement to exclusivity, is that a problem. Depends
18:14
Speaker 1: on the language he was using with Rachel. If he
18:17
Speaker 1: was saying things like I still love you and I
18:19
Speaker 1: want to be with you, then yeah, I would say
18:22
Speaker 1: it's a little bit mess up for him to be
18:23
Speaker 1: talking about somebody else. But if it was just like
18:26
Speaker 1: in the let's see where this goes phase, then I
18:29
Speaker 1: guess it can't really be completely held against him. There
18:32
Speaker 1: is also some what I would feel like I would
18:35
Speaker 1: consider gaslighting in this situation, because it looks as if
18:40
Speaker 1: sources close to Matt we're going to the press after
18:46
Speaker 1: things disintegrated last week, say trying to like cover up
18:50
Speaker 1: what happened by saying that Rachel was hoping that they
18:55
Speaker 1: would get back together, but Matt had no intentions of that,
18:58
Speaker 1: and he just was pursuing and Chip and then the
19:02
Speaker 1: Reality Steve reports starts coming out and all the press
19:04
Speaker 1: stories started taking a turn. So it looks as if
19:08
Speaker 1: people close to Matt may have wanted to cover up
19:13
Speaker 1: this situations. Well, that's no good, that's not great. Okay,
19:17
Speaker 1: second thought, what and how did Grace end up on
19:23
Speaker 1: Reality Steve's And like that feels like a big step.
19:26
Speaker 1: And so she knows she's dating a guy with a
19:28
Speaker 1: public image, Um, like what why would somebody go out
19:33
Speaker 1: then publicly and like have an interview kind of throwing
19:38
Speaker 1: him under the bus? Like is she that angry? Is
19:40
Speaker 1: that that bad of situation? Like, there's a lot to
19:42
Speaker 1: this that feels like one it's that's a big step
19:46
Speaker 1: to kind of call out a guy that you were
19:47
Speaker 1: just like talking to a week before, right, Um, well,
19:51
Speaker 1: I think that she just feels screwed over because she
19:55
Speaker 1: saw the picture of Matt and Rachel and she was like,
19:57
Speaker 1: wait a second, I thought we had a thing. And
19:59
Speaker 1: then Rache it was like, wait, I thought we had
20:01
Speaker 1: a thing. And I think both girls probably just feel
20:03
Speaker 1: a little bit blindsided and screwed over. Holy mom. And
20:08
Speaker 1: also but yeah, the Grace thing. Like I didn't watch
20:10
Speaker 1: the I didn't listen to watch the interview with this girl,
20:12
Speaker 1: but I do. I do feel like it seems casual
20:17
Speaker 1: enough with Grace that she shouldn't have been so upset
20:25
Speaker 1: about it. But then, like I guess, like if the
20:27
Speaker 1: guy is trying to hook up with you, like two
20:29
Speaker 1: days before seeing another girl, it's one thing to do
20:33
Speaker 1: and not be seen and not be caught, right, But
20:36
Speaker 1: like once you see the guy that you're talking to
20:39
Speaker 1: out with another girl, it's just like feels really yucky,
20:42
Speaker 1: and I can feel I can understand the feelings she's
20:44
Speaker 1: going through. Wild stuff going on in Bastlination. We're gonna
20:47
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how far this story goes.
20:49
Speaker 1: It kind of feels like the story now has been presented.
20:52
Speaker 1: It's out there. I think it's done now. It's done now. Um,
20:56
Speaker 1: But I mean, you're claiming just to close this up
20:59
Speaker 1: that Rachel and Matt as of we as of what
21:02
Speaker 1: we know now are like done done like their books,
21:05
Speaker 1: Like she's done. Yeah, we gotta talk to her. We
21:09
Speaker 1: gotta get Rachel on here, get Matt on here. We
21:12
Speaker 1: also need to get Bennett or kit on here because
21:18
Speaker 1: they were another couple spotted an n y C together
21:22
Speaker 1: this weekend. Okay, let's not call him a couple yet.
21:24
Speaker 1: What this is crazy? Did you know this? I had
21:28
Speaker 1: no clue. Please explain. Okay, So the two of them
21:33
Speaker 1: were spotted at dinner, just the two of them in
21:38
Speaker 1: the West Village. But interestingly enough, the same week that
21:42
Speaker 1: they were spotted, somebody on Instagram asked Bennett if you'd
21:46
Speaker 1: be down to date Kit and he said, she could
21:50
Speaker 1: be my daughter or I could be her father. I'm
21:53
Speaker 1: old enough to be her father, of course not so
21:58
Speaker 1: is he trying to throw us off? I mean that
22:00
Speaker 1: feels like a very odd comment and throw people off
22:03
Speaker 1: with you could have got a budget different directions than that.
22:08
Speaker 1: Well that's all we got right now. So we'll happen.
22:10
Speaker 1: But they were spotted together, so we don't know are
22:13
Speaker 1: they friends? Are they are they dating? Are they hanging out?
22:17
Speaker 1: I mean, Bennet's kind of throwing a shot out there, right.
22:19
Speaker 1: We talked about last week with Kelly Flan again. Uh,
22:22
Speaker 1: it's obvious that he's really pushing to be on Paradise.
22:25
Speaker 1: I think it would mean we when we talked to him,
22:27
Speaker 1: he didn't fully know, but I mean, he has a
22:31
Speaker 1: couple of a couple of people he's interested in. Now
22:34
Speaker 1: do we do we know if kids one of those
22:36
Speaker 1: people or not. We don't. But they were spotted together
22:39
Speaker 1: in New York City. New York is the hotspa right now.
22:41
Speaker 1: It feels like for Bachelor dates. I feel like I
22:44
Speaker 1: could kind to see them together, right, Yeah, I guess.
22:47
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't feel like we know much about Kit.
22:50
Speaker 1: You know, she was there on the season, but you know,
22:53
Speaker 1: she wasn't necessarily a person that we got to know
22:55
Speaker 1: a ton of about. But you know, she is I think,
22:59
Speaker 1: or even think, like a social light in New York City.
23:01
Speaker 1: Bennetts obviously in New York City, they probably could if
23:04
Speaker 1: they wanted to run into similar circles. Their lives are
23:07
Speaker 1: pretty lined up. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I
23:12
Speaker 1: mean it feels like this Bachelor World, Uh, you could
23:16
Speaker 1: see anybody together at this point. I don't know anymore. Um,
23:19
Speaker 1: I have feel like they're both kind of caricatures of
23:22
Speaker 1: like they're like a borderline could be interpreted as being snotty.
23:28
Speaker 1: I you know what, Ash, Here's what I'm gonna do
23:31
Speaker 1: at the end of this podcast. I'm going to give
23:32
Speaker 1: you the one couple that I want to see together
23:34
Speaker 1: in Paradise is that. Okay, it's gonna be a shock.
23:37
Speaker 1: Do you have it in mind? I have it right
23:38
Speaker 1: now in mind. It's going to be a shock to everybody,
23:41
Speaker 1: but I feel like people could get behind it. Okay, Well,
23:44
Speaker 1: we'll do it later in the podcast. What's our next headline?
23:46
Speaker 1: We'll speak in a paradise. The Bachelorette and The Bachelor
23:49
Speaker 1: in Paradise premier dates revealed this according to Entertainment Tonight,
23:54
Speaker 1: So the Bachelorette Katie season is going to start on
23:59
Speaker 1: June seven, and then Paradise is going to start on
24:03
Speaker 1: August six, So Bachelor is delayed, like I'd say, two
24:08
Speaker 1: or three weeks after per usual, it would normally start
24:12
Speaker 1: in mid May um, and Bachelor in Paradise looks it's
24:15
Speaker 1: set to debut pretty much around the same time it
24:19
Speaker 1: normally would. Pretty exciting stuff. We're gonna have more seasons
24:22
Speaker 1: to talk about a lot coming up in the Bachelor world. Well,
24:26
Speaker 1: this is one headline. Uh, that's almost funny for me
24:30
Speaker 1: to read because fans have been critical, they've been assuming
24:34
Speaker 1: they've spoken out without knowing for months now about this topic. Well,
24:40
Speaker 1: they're squashing it. This couple is squashing the rumors because
24:44
Speaker 1: Bachelor It's Zach Clark reveals he and Tasha Adams have
24:46
Speaker 1: started wedding planning. This off of months of people saying
24:50
Speaker 1: are they together? Are they not together? Are they committed?
24:52
Speaker 1: Are they not committed? Well, they're committed and their wedding planning.
24:56
Speaker 1: This is really really good news. It made me excited
24:59
Speaker 1: to hear. Uh. He does say this week also that
25:03
Speaker 1: they've had some ups and down since The Bachelor. I
25:05
Speaker 1: have he you know, especially like with all like they
25:09
Speaker 1: have been faced with so many like split rumors. He says, naturally,
25:12
Speaker 1: it's for all the reasons that people say it shouldn't work,
25:16
Speaker 1: because it's so quick and all that stuff, And then
25:18
Speaker 1: I hear that, and then there's also so many reasons
25:20
Speaker 1: for me why it does work. He says. When you
25:24
Speaker 1: put the cell phone down, there's no distractions, Your conversations
25:28
Speaker 1: are very pointed and structured. You really give yourself, Like
25:32
Speaker 1: for me, I gave myself the opportunity to really explore
25:35
Speaker 1: what love was and what this relationship could be. And
25:38
Speaker 1: then coming out of that, I think we had a
25:39
Speaker 1: strong foundation. And then it's about like digging in together,
25:44
Speaker 1: getting to know each other and understanding each other's lives.
25:47
Speaker 1: He says, we're both passionate, driven, busy human beings and
25:50
Speaker 1: with that we need to remind ourselves to work each
25:53
Speaker 1: other into the schedule. And we've done that so after
25:59
Speaker 1: he said, a couple of months after, they're worse. Some
26:01
Speaker 1: up and downs, of course, and we were was well documented.
26:05
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, all's good right now.
26:08
Speaker 1: I think overall, what he means by all those quotes
26:11
Speaker 1: is that just like it does take effort in order
26:15
Speaker 1: to like merge two lives and two lifestyles, especially to
26:20
Speaker 1: people who lived on different coasts and have completely different careers,
26:24
Speaker 1: Tassia has a tongue going on and speaking as that
26:26
Speaker 1: Clark even more, he teases to his fiancee. He teases
26:31
Speaker 1: his fiance Tassia Adams hosting SPA on The Bachelor, We've
26:34
Speaker 1: gotten a lot of questions, what is this gonna look like?
26:36
Speaker 1: What's the format going to be? We we don't know
26:38
Speaker 1: at this point, but Zach Clark is teasing just a bit.
26:42
Speaker 1: He says that Tisha is obviously a talented person. She's
26:46
Speaker 1: very good at what she does, whether that's leading a
26:48
Speaker 1: show or cooking at home. That's very sweet, he says.
26:51
Speaker 1: I don't think Batchel Nation needs any more help getting
26:54
Speaker 1: excited than they already are about the upcoming season. But
26:57
Speaker 1: I'll say, get your popcorn ready. One of the beautiful
27:00
Speaker 1: things that we've been able to do for each other
27:01
Speaker 1: and support each other and everything we do, no matter
27:04
Speaker 1: what she or I have going on, we talked through
27:06
Speaker 1: everything and it's been really healthy. Um. And one of
27:09
Speaker 1: those things that they are talking through is, like you
27:10
Speaker 1: said a couple of minutes ago, it's a wedding planning.
27:14
Speaker 1: He says that there are plans to get married, but
27:17
Speaker 1: it's been a wild start to the year, of course,
27:19
Speaker 1: you know, with her having this hosting position and having
27:21
Speaker 1: to be in New Mexico for at least two months,
27:23
Speaker 1: which has to be crazy. My question had been, Um,
27:26
Speaker 1: I brought this up last week. I'm super confused how
27:30
Speaker 1: he and Jason are going to be going to visit them.
27:35
Speaker 1: Do they have to quarantine by themselves before going into
27:39
Speaker 1: the girl's sweets? You think every time they go back
27:42
Speaker 1: and forth that would be the only way around it.
27:46
Speaker 1: I mean, unless they're vaccinated. Yeah, Um, which I you know,
27:49
Speaker 1: I don't know if they are not, but yeah, they
27:52
Speaker 1: would have to Okay, yeah, okay, Well I hope they're
27:56
Speaker 1: vaccinated so they don't have to go to that, right,
27:59
Speaker 1: I mean five days, five days of waiting before you
28:02
Speaker 1: can see them for another like, well, I mean that's
28:03
Speaker 1: ten days probably of them being kind of isolated from
28:07
Speaker 1: the world every time. Yeah. Yeah, so that's a lot.
28:12
Speaker 1: Or maybe the girls are back to that. I don't know, Um,
28:15
Speaker 1: who knows, Okay, but I keep bearing the lead. I'm sorry,
28:18
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. So they said that the wedding date is
28:21
Speaker 1: not in stone, but there will be one eventually. Um.
28:27
Speaker 1: He also was asked whether or not they would televise
28:30
Speaker 1: their wedding like Sean and Catherine did or Tristan Ryan,
28:34
Speaker 1: and he said, I would say probably, not knowing us,
28:37
Speaker 1: but um, I would say it's probably a note. But hey,
28:41
Speaker 1: happy wife, happy life, happy life, So whatever she wants,
28:45
Speaker 1: I'm in sound sweet? Uh. Speaking of relationships, Speaking of
28:51
Speaker 1: the last Bachelorette, Claire Crawley and Dale Moss confirm reconciliation
28:57
Speaker 1: three months after calling off engagement. God, they've actually confirmed this.
29:03
Speaker 1: They've confirmed it. Oh my goodness, is this? I don't
29:07
Speaker 1: have they actually said it or is she just posting
29:10
Speaker 1: and that the in US Weekly is calling it confirmation?
29:13
Speaker 1: Hold on a second here, I think they're using their
29:17
Speaker 1: Instagram as proof, which I kind of agree. I think
29:22
Speaker 1: Instagram has proved as well. Claire did start posting this
29:26
Speaker 1: week pictures of being in New York with Dale and
29:29
Speaker 1: and for me, that's confirmation. But it's not like they've
29:32
Speaker 1: ever said we're back together. We are, assuming it's a
29:36
Speaker 1: lot of time spent for two people that were engaged
29:39
Speaker 1: and obviously like each other. However, this might be the
29:41
Speaker 1: start they needed, right, Hey, let's take it slower, Let's
29:43
Speaker 1: pull back a bit. We like each other, we're into
29:45
Speaker 1: each other, We're obviously attracted to each other. So maybe
29:48
Speaker 1: we can start dating now and see where this goes.
29:51
Speaker 1: Who knows. But they're spending a lot of time together. Uh,
29:55
Speaker 1: and that can be confirmed because I mean, they're together
29:58
Speaker 1: a lot. This is so happy. This is such good news.
30:01
Speaker 1: I love this so much. This is so happy. Uh happy,
30:05
Speaker 1: Well in less happy news but still clear Crawley News.
30:09
Speaker 1: Claire Crawley throws shade at Matt James after he moves
30:13
Speaker 1: on with another woman amid Rachel reunion Disaccording to US Weekly,
30:19
Speaker 1: all right, well, do you remember when Claire threw shade
30:22
Speaker 1: at Matt a year ago when she found out that
30:26
Speaker 1: he who was then currently set to be on her season?
30:31
Speaker 1: How did cameo? If you guys don't know what cameo is,
30:33
Speaker 1: it's basically where you do paid videos for fans, like
30:37
Speaker 1: little shout outs. And she didn't like that. And I
30:40
Speaker 1: understood why she didn't like that. Um, but now a
30:46
Speaker 1: Twitter user, a follower of hers, reminded Claire and Bachelor
30:51
Speaker 1: fans that she had initially put this warning out about
30:55
Speaker 1: Matt in the past, and and Claire retweeted with the
31:02
Speaker 1: comment a little shrug and a smirk emoji that on
31:08
Speaker 1: April nine, like this past Friday, that that she she
31:13
Speaker 1: she's She's basically saying, you're like, oh yeah, I remember,
31:16
Speaker 1: I remember when I called him out on like not
31:20
Speaker 1: not always being perfect. Yeah, okay, So basically Claire, Claire's
31:25
Speaker 1: being Claire's being Claire. She's just like, oh, hey, remember
31:30
Speaker 1: I had when I had a problem with him? Oh yeah,
31:32
Speaker 1: I warned you guys, I that I didn't think that
31:34
Speaker 1: he was perfect, So you know, you know, drama, drama,
31:41
Speaker 1: drama drama, well, drama, drama drama. Okay, good transition here,
31:46
Speaker 1: we're really leading into the speaking of drama. Victoria Larson
31:49
Speaker 1: talks bullying accusations and bachelor journey. Her quote is, I
31:53
Speaker 1: wasn't taking it seriously this according to people, she wasn't
31:59
Speaker 1: taking it seriously. Okay. So Victoria was on a show
32:05
Speaker 1: this week and she said that she knew that Matt
32:09
Speaker 1: appreciated her. While on the show, she also said she
32:13
Speaker 1: didn't think that Rachel was going to be the winner.
32:17
Speaker 1: She said, my brain couldn't wrap around it. I knew
32:20
Speaker 1: Michelle would make it pretty far. And then in hindsight,
32:24
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, not surprised Rachel one because they did
32:27
Speaker 1: have a strong connection, but I really thought that Bree
32:30
Speaker 1: was going to win. Very interesting. Um. She also says
32:36
Speaker 1: that she genuinely didn't feel like it was her place
32:41
Speaker 1: to say if someone was ready for love or not.
32:44
Speaker 1: She said that I think that he that he Matt
32:47
Speaker 1: seems to be headed in a really good direction. Um.
32:52
Speaker 1: But she said that she didn't personally have that romantic
32:55
Speaker 1: spark with him. She said that they didn't have physical chemistry.
32:59
Speaker 1: She said, I just didn't feel it um and so
33:03
Speaker 1: and so therefore, Okay, let's bring the queen. Let's just
33:08
Speaker 1: have fun with it. That's how it was for me. Okay, okay, okay, okay. Victoria,
33:14
Speaker 1: Now in hindsight, you're saying I didn't feel a connection
33:19
Speaker 1: or spark yet on the show, she was like, there's
33:22
Speaker 1: nobody here for him except for me. I am the
33:26
Speaker 1: only right choice. Well, she hindsight's obviously, isn't hindsight always
33:37
Speaker 1: on The Bachelor? I mean I always ask people who
33:40
Speaker 1: get off the show, like when did you realize it
33:43
Speaker 1: wasn't right for you? Like that person wasn't right for you?
33:45
Speaker 1: And it's like always two or three days later, like
33:48
Speaker 1: once you're on the airplane back, you're like, oh, that
33:52
Speaker 1: was infatuation, that was attraction. Well, I guess I would
33:56
Speaker 1: be happy that Matt Victoria didn't end up together for
34:00
Speaker 1: the show. That's a big win for the two of them,
34:02
Speaker 1: since there wasn't a connection or the chemistry that either
34:06
Speaker 1: of them were probably wanting when it comes to love. Actually,
34:19
Speaker 1: we have a headline from Eric Bigger. Eric Bigger has
34:21
Speaker 1: been somebody on the podcast many times. He's speaking out
34:23
Speaker 1: about the Chris Harrison controversy, and his quote is he
34:26
Speaker 1: shouldn't be canceled. He explains bachelor casting can approve improve this.
34:31
Speaker 1: According to US Weekly, he says, I love Chris Harrison.
34:34
Speaker 1: I know him personally. He's a great individual. We all
34:38
Speaker 1: fall short of times, we all make mistakes. No one's perfect.
34:40
Speaker 1: I think in that moment he made a big mistake.
34:44
Speaker 1: He messed up. You know, if I saw him today
34:47
Speaker 1: and I had the conversation, I'd say, you made a mistake, buddy.
34:51
Speaker 1: It's okay. There's consequences and there's a cause and effect
34:55
Speaker 1: for everything. And I believe Chris Harrison should be suspended
34:58
Speaker 1: and he should have some time off. And I think
35:02
Speaker 1: he should have He should like rethink and maybe educate
35:07
Speaker 1: himself in some ways and do some work, you know,
35:09
Speaker 1: build some time with thyself. But I don't think he
35:13
Speaker 1: should be canceled. Come on, like where not even being real? Right?
35:19
Speaker 1: So you're telling me no one can show up and
35:22
Speaker 1: be a person and make mistakes. He didn't interview US Weekly,
35:25
Speaker 1: where he says a lot on this. Have you heard
35:28
Speaker 1: justin Bieber's new song about cancel culture. No, you are
35:32
Speaker 1: you're a biber, You're you're a believer. Now I'm I'm
35:37
Speaker 1: enjoying myself some Biber these days. But my buddy, who
35:40
Speaker 1: knew I loved the song lonely texted me this. He goes.
35:43
Speaker 1: Bieber just came out with a new one called Afraid
35:46
Speaker 1: to Say, featuring Lauren Walters. Justin Bieber talking about cancel culture. Hey, um, well,
35:56
Speaker 1: big changes in Bachelor Nation from rumors of Pilot he
36:00
Speaker 1: potentially being the next Bachelor. We're shutting those down on.
36:05
Speaker 1: I've heard of that, and I don't even know where
36:07
Speaker 1: those rumors could have possibly come from, Like the guy
36:09
Speaker 1: is never becoming the Bachelor again. Yeah, well I don't
36:12
Speaker 1: know either. But somebody from his season is making headlines
36:15
Speaker 1: this week. Victoria Fuller. Uh. She's saying that in an
36:20
Speaker 1: interview on the new UH podcast Clickbait, that she's saving
36:25
Speaker 1: herself for marriage. It's everything to me, she says this,
36:29
Speaker 1: according to US Weekly. From the interview on Clickbait, Yeah,
36:32
Speaker 1: I thought this was really interesting. She said that after
36:35
Speaker 1: recently joining a nondenominational Christian community that she has learned
36:40
Speaker 1: to embrace spirituality in a way that's different from the
36:43
Speaker 1: Catherine Catholic upbringing that she grew up in. She said, Um,
36:47
Speaker 1: I grew up so Catholic that everything I did was
36:50
Speaker 1: judged or I always felt like I was doing something wrong.
36:53
Speaker 1: I never felt accepted, and then I was just opened
36:57
Speaker 1: up to this world where God is so good and
36:58
Speaker 1: he forgives. Uh. She says, it's kind of funny because
37:02
Speaker 1: now my two biggest questions when I go on a
37:04
Speaker 1: date are what's your relationship with the Lord and what
37:08
Speaker 1: are your intentions? She said to me, that's just everything
37:12
Speaker 1: at this point, So it's changed before. I don't I
37:16
Speaker 1: don't think of my relationships really were before. I don't
37:19
Speaker 1: think my relationships really revolved around that. And it's so interesting.
37:23
Speaker 1: She basically said that she likes ending dates with just
37:27
Speaker 1: going their separate ways now and just being like, you'd
37:30
Speaker 1: be better respect that or I'm not down to date you.
37:34
Speaker 1: Pretty nice? I uh, you know, I wonder how much
37:37
Speaker 1: of an impact Maddie Pruitt's head in Victoria's life. Obviously
37:40
Speaker 1: are good friends living hand more. I wonder you know,
37:42
Speaker 1: how much, like what how that dynamic has impacted both
37:46
Speaker 1: of them, probably in many ways, But okay, moving on here.
37:51
Speaker 1: Chris Ryan Done slams Dylan Barber's theory about Bachelor Nations
37:55
Speaker 1: outing in Nashville. This according to US weekly Big News,
38:00
Speaker 1: Dylan Barber calling out some of Bachelor Nations peeps for
38:04
Speaker 1: hanging out in Nashville. This is one of those headlines
38:10
Speaker 1: that's just like trying to create something that I don't
38:13
Speaker 1: really know is anything, but um, Dylan said, I think
38:20
Speaker 1: on Twitter. It on Twitter. Um. Yeah, he was like, Oh,
38:23
Speaker 1: I'm sure the Bachelor producers are stoked that all these
38:25
Speaker 1: Bachelor folks are hanging out this weekend, alluding to the
38:28
Speaker 1: fact that Bachelor in Paradise is basically happening off screen
38:32
Speaker 1: because there was a ton of people together in Nashville
38:36
Speaker 1: for Kelsey Weird's birthday this week, including Blake, Chason, Victoria,
38:43
Speaker 1: Victoria Paul that was the blond One, Um, Clay Harbor,
38:47

38:52

38:56
Speaker 1: all they're all mingling off camera and these two relationships
39:00
Speaker 1: are forming, and it's kind of ironic because Blake, who
39:03
Speaker 1: was there, and Blake, who I imagine will never be
39:06
Speaker 1: doing another season of Bachelor in Paradise recently said in
39:10
Speaker 1: an interview. Everyone's talking to everyone already, and I'm like,
39:16

39:20
Speaker 1: He says. I'm like, God, you idiots, you are just
39:23
Speaker 1: just effing wait six months and then you will have
39:26
Speaker 1: to deal with that. And I kind of I kind
39:29
Speaker 1: of agree. But but thanks for the t Blake. Apparently
39:33
Speaker 1: all these people are already flirting in the d m
39:36
Speaker 1: s and in real life. But um, but the whole
39:39
Speaker 1: Chris word. Don't part of this is that Chris was like,
39:43
Speaker 1: I need to be with people, Like I need to
39:45
Speaker 1: hang out with people. I've been in such a dark
39:47
Speaker 1: place and alone and like being with people and able
39:52
Speaker 1: to socialize now is something that's very important to me. Well,
39:57
Speaker 1: they were together, Uh, you know, Blake was a part
39:59
Speaker 1: of the who knows if he's talking to anybody? Who
40:01
Speaker 1: knows if he's not. Has he been? You just saw
40:04
Speaker 1: him the other night. Come on, now, I don't think
40:05

40:08
Speaker 1: have some theories that I'll share later on Beavern Bachelor Nations.

Speaker 1: she was pregnant. Um, we're celebrating her, We're celebrating the
42:38
Speaker 1: start of this new family. Well, actually, you know, my
42:41
Speaker 1: my dream job I have had I have not kept
42:44
Speaker 1: it a secret, is to host a Bachelor type show
42:50
Speaker 1: where senior citizens are involved. It's always been the thing
42:53
Speaker 1: because that's the one thing you get most often, for
42:55
Speaker 1: releast me. When I come off the show, you meet
42:56
Speaker 1: people wherever you're at and they say, I wish they
42:58
Speaker 1: would start a Bachelor for senior citizens. Well, I always said,
43:03
Speaker 1: I think it's a great idea. Well then all of
43:04
Speaker 1: a sudden, the Bachelor announced that they're doing it. And
43:07
Speaker 1: I've never done this, but I am raising my hand saying, hey, guys,
43:10
Speaker 1: if you need somebody, I am here for it because
43:13
Speaker 1: I think this idea is absolutely incredible. Well, Hulu in fact,
43:18
Speaker 1: is weighing in on the original spinoffs of dating franchises.
43:20
Speaker 1: Rob Mills we all know Rob Mills, he is the
43:23
Speaker 1: e v P of Unscripted and Alternative Entertainment for the
43:26
Speaker 1: Walt Disney Television uh gives an update on the Senior
43:30
Speaker 1: Citizens offshoot. This according to the Deadline, So it seems
43:34
Speaker 1: as if possibly Hulu is going to be the place
43:36
Speaker 1: for this show, as well as some other Bachelor spinoffs
43:39
Speaker 1: that they might create, which is kind of cool. So
43:42
Speaker 1: if you guys remember they did run that informational ad
43:46
Speaker 1: ish thing during um, the past season or two of
43:49
Speaker 1: The Bachelor looking for elders seen. I think it was
43:53
Speaker 1: fifty five And was it fifty and older and older? No,
43:59
Speaker 1: it was sixty. I'm a older I don't I didn't
44:02
Speaker 1: remember that. Okay. So they said that they got a
44:05
Speaker 1: lot of interesting individuals with incredible stories, including one woman
44:09
Speaker 1: who has claimed that she slept with the former president
44:13
Speaker 1: of the United States. Uh So, Rob Mills says that
44:18
Speaker 1: these people have great stories to tell, and it feels
44:20
Speaker 1: like that is going to be a home run idea
44:23
Speaker 1: of a show if they get it right. That's all
44:25
Speaker 1: they needed. All I needed was to hear that somebody
44:28
Speaker 1: in this possible cast had slept with the president and
44:31
Speaker 1: then then we're watching Are you kidding me? Come on?
44:35
Speaker 1: Give these persons a chance that love put him out
44:38
Speaker 1: there on television. I think it's awesome. I think it's exciting,
44:42
Speaker 1: one of the best ideas anybody's ever had, and I
44:44
Speaker 1: hope they get it right and they make this thing work.
