- 1:46Speaker 1: fun now, and so I just like end up pacing.
- 1:49Speaker 1: I wonder when the last time in my life that
- 1:51Speaker 1: was that I felt something like am I weird. No,
- 1:54Speaker 1: not at a little bit. No, No, I actually envy
- 1:58Speaker 1: you because I used to be more like that, but
- 2:00Speaker 1: as I get older, it's less and less. Maybe I
- 2:03Speaker 1: was really excited to go down to Mexico, um when
- 2:06Speaker 1: Jared and I ended up getting engaged, But I just
- 2:09Speaker 1: thought we were going to go down to Paradise and
- 2:11Speaker 1: see our friends there and to relive that a bit.
- 2:13Speaker 1: So I think that was the last time I got
- 2:14Speaker 1: hyped like that. I just I don't know. These are
- 2:17Speaker 1: good people. This is a good group we have in
- 2:19Speaker 1: Vegas this time. Um, just not even like good people,
- 2:23Speaker 1: because like, what does that mean? Who knows? I mean
- 2:25Speaker 1: that's a very objective term. Just like fun people, people
- 2:28Speaker 1: that I've shared good memories with in life before. You know,
- 2:30Speaker 1: I have you down here, and you're extremely special to me.
- 2:34Speaker 1: I'm Jared, who you know. Hopefully later when he comes
- 2:36Speaker 1: to the podcast, we can talk about how special he
- 2:38Speaker 1: is to me because Nick, Nick and I have done
- 2:41Speaker 1: a ton together. Dean who's been a Honduras with me,
- 2:43Speaker 1: a place that means a ton in Blake who who
- 2:46Speaker 1: lives in Denver, who I've got to know better. Um
- 2:49Speaker 1: and uh, And I think it's a great asset to
- 2:51Speaker 1: the Bachelor franchise. And then Wells, I mean Wells Adams
- 2:55Speaker 1: and I had maybe the most memorable night I have
- 2:57Speaker 1: had in years, where I was in Nashville Tennis. He
- 3:00Speaker 1: invited me to stay with him. I sat on his couch.
- 3:03Speaker 1: We drank bourbon and listened to old records and Jason Isabelle,
- 3:06Speaker 1: that's interesting. That's what he does on dates exactly. It's
- 3:10Speaker 1: amazing and talk life and shared and just like I
- 3:13Speaker 1: don't know, so anyways, this is an exciting group for me.
- 3:16Speaker 1: I'm pumped to be here. We have all these people
- 3:18Speaker 1: and more coming on the podcast today. Ashley. Yes, Ben
- 3:23Speaker 1: Vegas is gonna be crazy. Yeah. You you are somebody who, like,
- 3:28Speaker 1: once you hit Vegas, you actually get that mindset of
- 3:33Speaker 1: what happens in Vegas days in Vegas, like you get
- 3:35Speaker 1: a little crunk. I do oh the whole time. I mean,
- 3:38Speaker 1: I'm a good time. I'll be blackjacking, I'll be I'll
- 3:41Speaker 1: be a smoking a cigar, I'll be listening to music.
- 3:43Speaker 1: I'm gonna have a great time. You know why though,
- 3:45Speaker 1: there's a reason why. Um. One of my role models
- 3:48Speaker 1: in life was Anthony Bourdain. I love Anthony Bourdain um
- 3:52Speaker 1: because he loved people really well, he loved food, and
- 3:55Speaker 1: he loved moments and memories really well. Uh And so
- 3:59Speaker 1: I I d dream of creating so many memories and
- 4:02Speaker 1: moments in my life that I can look back on
- 4:04Speaker 1: that when I'm seven years old, I can go, oh,
- 4:06Speaker 1: and somebody mentions Ashley, I can remember when you do
- 4:09Speaker 1: that podcast with Ashley Haven, and I'm gonna say, yeah,
- 4:12Speaker 1: and this one time he was a crazy story that
- 4:14Speaker 1: we had in Vegas together. I dream of that. That's
- 4:17Speaker 1: my That almost makes me tear up thinking that I'm
- 4:19Speaker 1: gonna have that moment one day where I'm gonna look
- 4:20Speaker 1: back on this and say, I had this memory and
- 4:23Speaker 1: this moment in my life with this person. And so
- 4:25Speaker 1: Anthony Bourdain had this quote when he did uh No
- 4:28Speaker 1: Reservations when he came to Vegas, and you know, Vegas
- 4:31Speaker 1: is weird and it's it's a little messed up, and
- 4:33Speaker 1: it's a little polluted and coluded, and there's connotations around it.
- 4:36Speaker 1: And he said, one of the best best things about
- 4:38Speaker 1: Vegas is that people come here to create memories. And
- 4:41Speaker 1: so I guess I come here to create some memories
- 4:44Speaker 1: and and try to have the best time possible with
- 4:46Speaker 1: the people around me. And that's, uh, that's my mindset
- 4:49Speaker 1: this weekend. That's such a nice mindset. I used to
- 4:51Speaker 1: be scared of Vegas. You know. My first Vegas trip
- 4:54Speaker 1: was actually two years ago at the I Heart Festival,
- 4:57Speaker 1: and I did not know what to expect. I drove
- 5:00Speaker 1: by myself, I checked into the hotel and myself, and
- 5:04Speaker 1: then I was like, you know, this place isn't as
- 5:05Speaker 1: scary as I thought it was. I just thought it
- 5:07Speaker 1: was going to be like a whole bunch of drunk
- 5:09Speaker 1: people walking around, but really no, it's just a lot
- 5:12Speaker 1: of dining, a lot of entertainment. And it's the moment
- 5:15Speaker 1: I met you for the first time. Oh, I remember
- 5:20Speaker 1: you coming up to I remember walking to my bedroom
- 5:22Speaker 1: and you were laying it. We were already friends at
- 5:24Speaker 1: that point. That's why I went to your room because
- 5:27Speaker 1: I was having an issue and I was like, who
- 5:30Speaker 1: am I going to feel comfortable around? Well, I saw
- 5:33Speaker 1: you there, and I found you in my bed with
- 5:35Speaker 1: my Lauren, talking life and sharing memories and uh, and
- 5:40Speaker 1: that's where, not where maybe, but it's a moment that
- 5:43Speaker 1: blossomed our friendship to today. Do you know what memory
- 5:46Speaker 1: I have when you and Lauren went to bed and
- 5:49Speaker 1: I was left with crystals out in the family room
- 5:53Speaker 1: up your seat. That's when he kissed me, and you
- 5:57Speaker 1: guys went to bed before the room service came. Yeah,
- 6:01Speaker 1: there's me, Luke and Chris. And then Luke laughed, and
- 6:04Speaker 1: then it was just me and Chris eating all the
- 6:07Speaker 1: leftover room service, and then we walked over to the
- 6:10Speaker 1: other wing of the hotel to our rooms. I forgot
- 6:13Speaker 1: that you fell asleep. I wear the ones. I still
- 6:15Speaker 1: have the ones. Actually, I love that down you're like
- 6:20Speaker 1: hi and I thought that was the cutest video ever.
- 6:23Speaker 1: And you over your face gonna make me tear up.
- 6:25Speaker 1: Those are good memories. Um ash, we order room service
- 6:31Speaker 1: to get our food, but there's easier ways. Well, there's
- 6:34Speaker 1: easier ways at home. There's an easier ways at home.
- 6:36Speaker 1: You're right, this blue apron Blue Apron is pretty great.
- 6:39Speaker 1: I mean, they it's it's funny. We say it probably
- 6:43Speaker 1: every single podcast. I don't think there has ever been
- 6:47Speaker 1: a sponsor of our podcast that you and I both
- 6:50Speaker 1: don't use. And also we'll put our word in name
- 6:52Speaker 1: behind totally true. I actually when people say, you know,
- 6:57Speaker 1: what do you actually feel about your sponsors. I'm like, well,
- 6:59Speaker 1: there's this, there's that, there's that, and they're all like
- 7:01Speaker 1: pretty awesome. Yeah, they're vetted. Well. I don't think everybody,
- 7:04Speaker 1: not not any brand can sponsor our podcast. It has
- 7:07Speaker 1: to be the best brands, and Blue Apron definitely does that.

- 7:23Speaker 1: a long time. It's a long time. And so I
- 7:25Speaker 1: had a box of Blue Apron showed to my door.

- 7:29Speaker 1: limited amount of time at home and and and it's
- 7:31Speaker 1: getting to be evening time, I don't want to go out.
- 7:33Speaker 1: I want to be at home and it's like I've
- 7:34Speaker 1: got the meal already planned to go to to the groceries.
- 7:36Speaker 1: Don't have waste. That's a big deal for me, such
- 7:39Speaker 1: a big deal because every time I go fresh food shopping,
- 7:42Speaker 1: like you know, for produce, I always have so much
- 7:45Speaker 1: leftover that goes bad. And with Blue Apron, you're going

- 12:15Speaker 1: was long. I mean it was. I'm not gonna act
- 12:16Speaker 1: like overnight I felt better all of a sudden, Um,
- 12:19Speaker 1: but I had it was it was I had some
- 12:20Speaker 1: good support around me and everything. I feel a lot better.
- 12:22Speaker 1: It was it better or worse watching it back? So
- 12:27Speaker 1: that's such a good question, So like, did you heal
- 12:29Speaker 1: more watching it back or less? Did it break you apart? Again?
- 12:31Speaker 1: So honestly watching it back now, it broke every Monday.
- 12:35Speaker 1: It did. It wasn't like it was therapeutic in away
- 12:37Speaker 1: because I got to see the connection she was making
- 12:39Speaker 1: with the other the other guys in Garretten, you know,
- 12:41Speaker 1: in specific. But um, it wasn't really until after the
- 12:45Speaker 1: final rose really where I was like, well, I mean
- 12:48Speaker 1: I had been healing, but it wasn't the final rose
- 12:49Speaker 1: where I felt like where I felt like the door
- 12:52Speaker 1: was closed. It really wasn't it was, And it wasn't
- 12:54Speaker 1: even when I saw her. Actually, it was more of
- 12:56Speaker 1: when I saw them together. Really, it really was. You
- 13:00Speaker 1: don't see them together when we're going through the process,
- 13:02Speaker 1: you don't, you know. So it's more when I saw
- 13:04Speaker 1: them together on the couches, when I was like, okay,
- 13:06Speaker 1: like they're happy. I'm up, you know, I'm ready to
- 13:08Speaker 1: move on. There was a blake and I met right
- 13:12Speaker 1: after the show started stopped filming, and I told actually
- 13:15Speaker 1: this off of the podcast. We were just talking on
- 13:18Speaker 1: the side, and one thing I respected about you. I
- 13:21Speaker 1: don't even if this is anything to respect or appreciate
- 13:23Speaker 1: or admire or feel, is you felt more Rebecca than
- 13:27Speaker 1: any contestant that hasn't been chosen than I've ever seen you.
- 13:31Speaker 1: You felt this one like this was This wasn't just
- 13:34Speaker 1: a show, This wasn't just a disappointment, This wasn't just
- 13:36Speaker 1: a break up. This was something that hit hard. You
- 13:39Speaker 1: were the most in love runner up I think about time. Yeah,
- 13:43Speaker 1: I mean yeah I was. I was really in love.
- 13:46Speaker 1: I was. I remember after that first date, which you
- 13:48Speaker 1: actually you were on um. After that first day, I
- 13:50Speaker 1: remember going back to my room, you know, I was
- 13:52Speaker 1: like three in the morning or whatever before in the morning.
- 13:53Speaker 1: I remember laying in bed going, no way that just happened,
- 13:56Speaker 1: you know, no way this is happening, the way this
- 13:58Speaker 1: is real. You know. I remember sitting I was just
- 14:00Speaker 1: like wow, oh you know this is happening. Yeah, you
- 14:06Speaker 1: and Becca were both like oh, yeah, we're I'm gonna
- 14:08Speaker 1: get to top four and she was like, yeah, he's
- 14:10Speaker 1: gonna get to top four. Yeah, it was. It was
- 14:12Speaker 1: a weird instant connection we had, but um, yeah it was. Yeah.
- 14:16Speaker 1: It was tough that those last few weeks were obviously
- 14:18Speaker 1: very hard on me. There was yeah, but I mean
- 14:21Speaker 1: I feel it, and and and everybody that they're listening
- 14:24Speaker 1: as fans of the Bachelor, We're not gonna we're not
- 14:26Speaker 1: gonna confuse ourselves here and say we have this wide
- 14:28Speaker 1: reach of people who aren't fans of the Bachelor. We
- 14:30Speaker 1: have a half million people listening that are all fans
- 14:33Speaker 1: of the Bachelor. They're fans of you because you felt
- 14:36Speaker 1: that their fans of Jason and their fans of Colton.
- 14:38Speaker 1: You and Jason were not chosen as a bachelor. That's
- 14:40Speaker 1: a shock to everybody out there listening. They really kind
- 14:42Speaker 1: of was. We were really all thought it would be
- 14:44Speaker 1: one of you two. How does somebody Okay, let's walk
- 14:48Speaker 1: somebody through the process of you. You get broken up
- 14:52Speaker 1: with your in this limbo stage, not knowing what's next.
- 14:55Speaker 1: You chose not to date, you chose not to hook up,
- 14:57Speaker 1: you chose this this path of I'm kind of waited
- 15:00Speaker 1: out to see what's next. So you're six months later
- 15:04Speaker 1: you find out you're not the Bachelor. You've gone six
- 15:06Speaker 1: months of your life in limbo, and we're just spitting
- 15:09Speaker 1: out now right, You're this is your second week of
- 15:11Speaker 1: doing being out in public after not being announced to
- 15:14Speaker 1: the Bachelor. How is that? Yeah? I mean that was
- 15:19Speaker 1: the hardest part was not knowing there for like how
- 15:21Speaker 1: I don't even know. It was like four months there
- 15:23Speaker 1: since filming was ended. Um. Yeah, we was just not knowing,
- 15:26Speaker 1: and that was the worst part. It wasn't whether I
- 15:27Speaker 1: wasn't really worried whether I was or wasn't. I just
- 15:30Speaker 1: wanted to know if I was or wasn't. And so
- 15:32Speaker 1: when I got that call you know that I wasn't
- 15:35Speaker 1: going to be the batchlor, it was a lot of
- 15:36Speaker 1: weight off my shoulders. I didn't realize how much it
- 15:39Speaker 1: was weighing on me until I got that that call
- 15:41Speaker 1: where it was like, you know, it's we're going with Colton,
- 15:43Speaker 1: and I was like okay, and I was just like
- 15:45Speaker 1: able to take a breath, and I was like, okay,
- 15:46Speaker 1: I can go back to like almost you know, more
- 15:48Speaker 1: or less living in the regular life. That I used
- 15:51Speaker 1: to did you and Jason bond over maybe the misery
- 15:55Speaker 1: of not being picked out of the Bachelor and then
- 15:57Speaker 1: having somebody that a lot of people didn't expect. I
- 16:00Speaker 1: think people were like, let's see Colton grow. He can
- 16:03Speaker 1: be part of the franchise for the next couple of years.
- 16:05Speaker 1: Maybe he'll be a Bachelor one day, but definitely not
- 16:07Speaker 1: this year. And then all of a sudden, you and
- 16:10Speaker 1: you and Jason seemed like the front rudders for the Bachelor,
- 16:12Speaker 1: and then you're like, Nope, not for you. Yeah, I
- 16:16Speaker 1: mean i'd be lying to you if it wasn't. I wasn't.
- 16:18Speaker 1: I thought for sure it was me and Jason was honest,
- 16:19Speaker 1: like I really did. Um yeah, So it was surprising.
- 16:22Speaker 1: It was something that I think we definitely bonded over. Um. Me, Colton,
- 16:26Speaker 1: Jason are all very good friends. I think it's the
- 16:27Speaker 1: first time they've ever they've ever really been had three
- 16:31Speaker 1: people like this who are so transparent through the whole process.
- 16:33Speaker 1: What I have to say is the first time in
- 16:35Speaker 1: a long time that they had a good amount of options.
- 16:38Speaker 1: They could have gone with any of the three of you.
- 16:40Speaker 1: And then if you see the past two years, they
- 16:42Speaker 1: actually picked for previous seasons. My year, they were like,
- 16:46Speaker 1: we have nobody else, we have to choose this kid. Really,
- 16:50Speaker 1: who else would they have had? Thank God for you,
- 16:52Speaker 1: you know, Jared, if it weren't for you being on
- 16:55Speaker 1: Caitlin season, Jared definitely could have been the Bachelor that year.
- 16:58Speaker 1: And who would have known? Who knows sucks for you? Yeah,
- 17:01Speaker 1: I know, I mean, yeah, but I agree. I think
- 17:04Speaker 1: this is one of them. And you know, of course
- 17:05Speaker 1: that's what they told us. You know, any other year
- 17:07Speaker 1: would be that kind of thing. You know, they give
- 17:08Speaker 1: you those lines. But the craziest part was we were
- 17:10Speaker 1: so incredibly transparently the whole thing. We told each other,
- 17:13Speaker 1: the meetings we had, the phone calls we had with
- 17:15Speaker 1: each other, the phone calls we have with producers, were
- 17:17Speaker 1: incredily transparent through the whole thing, and we let each
- 17:19Speaker 1: other know we didn't want anybody who left in limbo,
- 17:21Speaker 1: So we let each other know exactly what we knew
- 17:23Speaker 1: when we knew it. And I think they had never
- 17:24Speaker 1: really had that before and they're a little surprised by that,
- 17:27Speaker 1: so um so yeah, they couldn't really get they couldn't
- 17:30Speaker 1: really try, and you know, be sneaky with us. Really well, Blake,
- 17:35Speaker 1: you're out in Vegas right now. I heard fest Colton

- 21:49Speaker 1: You've always put off nice just really honestly, Blake, the
- 21:54Speaker 1: most right reasons person I've seen in a very long time,
- 21:58Speaker 1: like there was just no doubt thing that you were
- 22:00Speaker 1: there for the genuine article. And I think that's why
- 22:03Speaker 1: you would have made a fantastic bachelor, because we know
- 22:07Speaker 1: that you'd, like, you want a wife before you want fan. Yeah,
- 22:11Speaker 1: I do. I do. Okay, Well, tell us about what
- 22:15Speaker 1: you're looking forward a girl and if you would ever
- 22:17Speaker 1: date a fan. Um, we'll start with the start, the easy,
- 22:21Speaker 1: easy questions. What I'm looking for a woman? So I
- 22:24Speaker 1: think the reason I was um so attracted to back
- 22:27Speaker 1: rud Off. But I'm incredibly attracted to like strong independent
- 22:30Speaker 1: women and like that's what guys say, no, but I swear, okay,
- 22:33Speaker 1: that's what they say, and then they go on a
- 22:34Speaker 1: date with strong independent women and they're like, oh, no,
- 22:36Speaker 1: I need somebody more soft, feminine, and no, I always have.
- 22:40Speaker 1: So I have like incredibly strong women in my life,
- 22:43Speaker 1: like my mom, my, sister, grandma, all of my women
- 22:46Speaker 1: in my life. So that's kind of what I gravitate towards.
- 22:48Speaker 1: And so that's, you know, that's what I'm looking for.
- 22:50Speaker 1: You're right, A lot of guys do say that, but
- 22:52Speaker 1: you're not one of them. I'm not one of those guys. Yeah, No,
- 22:54Speaker 1: I do. And somebody who's funny and witty and who's
- 22:57Speaker 1: not afraid to like clap back if you clap back
- 23:00Speaker 1: at me, like somebody put me in place, and and yeah,
- 23:02Speaker 1: someone who can hang with the guys too, you know
- 23:04Speaker 1: that kind of thing. I know, that's that's a lot.
- 23:05Speaker 1: I guess that I just described like the perfect woman.
- 23:07Speaker 1: But she sounds great. I'm sounds she can clap back
- 23:11Speaker 1: at it. She definitely exists. She's out there, she's out
- 23:16Speaker 1: there somewhere. Uh. And then as far as a fan, yeah,
- 23:18Speaker 1: I wouldn't be. I mean, yeah, there's nothing like like
- 23:21Speaker 1: you don't want like a total fan girl who comes
- 23:23Speaker 1: up to you and fan girls, but like if she's
- 23:25Speaker 1: classy about it and you know, watches the show, Yeah,
- 23:28Speaker 1: she like watches the Slow Show. And yeah, I mean,
- 23:31Speaker 1: like I said, I'm not if we hit it off
- 23:34Speaker 1: and like I feel you know, I feel that connection
- 23:36Speaker 1: and yeah, absolutely doesn't matter if she's a fan of that.
- 23:38Speaker 1: Have you felt that since Becca has been hard being
- 23:42Speaker 1: out in public and meeting people, have you felt a
- 23:45Speaker 1: connection or any type of like are you even open
- 23:48Speaker 1: to it now? Yeah? Well it's funny because that one
- 23:50Speaker 1: time we did have drinks you know I talked about like,
- 23:52Speaker 1: how is it dating now, because I can't even imagine
- 23:53Speaker 1: what it's like dating now because it is hard to
- 23:56Speaker 1: find like to know, uh you know, if the girl
- 23:59Speaker 1: you're you're dating is there, you know, as a fan
- 24:02Speaker 1: girl or who somebody's genuinely interested in you. And then
- 24:04Speaker 1: not only that, but you go out and you have
- 24:05Speaker 1: a drink, or you go out and have dinner and
- 24:06Speaker 1: you see people snapping pictures of you, and I'm like,
- 24:08Speaker 1: this is the most bizarre thing I've ever you know,
- 24:10Speaker 1: this is so weird to me. Uh So it's difficult,
- 24:12Speaker 1: but yeah, I'm definitely open to the idea of dating
- 24:14Speaker 1: and absolutely um as of now, you know, I'm single
- 24:17Speaker 1: and everything, so I haven't found anybody yet. If a
- 24:20Speaker 1: girl saw you in a bar, she was a fan
- 24:23Speaker 1: or she just thought you were cute, what's a good
- 24:25Speaker 1: move for her to make on you? So I'm into
- 24:29Speaker 1: like shock value, Like I like someone who would say
- 24:31Speaker 1: something ridiculous. I like somebody who would say something ridiculous
- 24:35Speaker 1: and like out of a blue and out of the ordinary.
- 24:37Speaker 1: I love that in a woman. So somebody who has
- 24:39Speaker 1: that shock value is something I'm into big time. Okay,
- 24:43Speaker 1: And and so your life today though, isn't very shocking. Um,
- 24:47Speaker 1: you went back to your job, which is something that
- 24:49Speaker 1: actually I definitely respect. You went back to work. You're
- 24:51Speaker 1: working at cores Um, and life is very similar to
- 24:56Speaker 1: what it was before you took the advice. And actually,
- 24:59Speaker 1: how many times have your me talk about this? Chris
- 25:01Speaker 1: Harrison gave me a word of advice, Uh, right after
- 25:03Speaker 1: I got kicked off the bachelorrette and it was used
- 25:05Speaker 1: all of this to enhance life. You already had, not
- 25:07Speaker 1: changed life. You were given Harrison. He's just he's just
- 25:11Speaker 1: got it, and he's got it. And I told that
- 25:13Speaker 1: to Blake because it's the only thing I know how
- 25:15Speaker 1: to say. I just copy everybody else and make it
- 25:17Speaker 1: something like my own. I said that to Blake when
- 25:19Speaker 1: we were together right after the show, and he lives
- 25:21Speaker 1: in Denver and I live in Denver, and when we
- 25:23Speaker 1: met up, and you've done that right, I mean, you're
- 25:26Speaker 1: doing all this cool stuff. You're out here with us
- 25:27Speaker 1: at my heart Fest, which is gonna be insane. I'm
- 25:29Speaker 1: telling you, this is one of the coolest weekends of
- 25:31Speaker 1: the year. There's gonna You're gonna be a ton of
- 25:33Speaker 1: good people. It's a blast. After this podcast is done,
- 25:35Speaker 1: you can let loose and do whatever you do to
- 25:37Speaker 1: have fun. But you went back to work, and why Yeah,
- 25:42Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing for me when I got
- 25:43Speaker 1: back from the show. I went like two two or
- 25:45Speaker 1: three weeks um after I got done with filming, you know,
- 25:48Speaker 1: and I went back and I would just like stare
- 25:50Speaker 1: at the wall, and I was like, I need something
- 25:51Speaker 1: to do. So I did go back to work and
- 25:53Speaker 1: it gave me a little bit more normal se because
- 25:55Speaker 1: I needed that. I needed that after going through that
- 25:57Speaker 1: insane environment and with that insane journey, I did some
- 26:00Speaker 1: normalcy back in my life. Absolutely. It's also a great
- 26:02Speaker 1: distraction from heartbreak because the worst thing you could do
- 26:05Speaker 1: with heartbreak is sit around the house by yourself and
- 26:07Speaker 1: just ponder and think about everything. Yeah, absolutely know what
- 26:10Speaker 1: ifs and all that. Absolutely. So yeah, I'm still at
- 26:12Speaker 1: coolers and I love it. I do. Um, did you
- 26:15Speaker 1: work for a beer? Comments would be a cool job.
- 26:17Speaker 1: I wouldn't believe that it's not a bad gig because
- 26:20Speaker 1: it looks like a drink beer. Actually I don't. I
- 26:24Speaker 1: used to. I used to take a ton of beer,
- 26:26Speaker 1: but now yeah, more of a tequila guy. Now your tequila. Yeah,
- 26:31Speaker 1: I know that you like tequila. You should. Yeah, I'm
- 26:34Speaker 1: a big do's tequila at home that I probably want
- 26:37Speaker 1: to drink at you next time. You're not. Blake is
- 26:39Speaker 1: a pretty healthy guy, doesn't he. Yeah, he's glowing on,
- 26:43Speaker 1: he's got clear skin, he's tan. I'm twenty nine, you're
- 26:47Speaker 1: twenty nine nine. He looks like he's twenty four, and
- 26:50Speaker 1: I look like I'm thirty three. You take vitamins, don't
- 26:53Speaker 1: you have lots of vitamins? Um, I'm just starting to
- 26:57Speaker 1: take him. And it is something that I really love.
- 27:01Speaker 1: I think too. Because they started sponsiment podcasts, I was like,
- 27:05Speaker 1: I gotta check them out. I started doing it. It's working.
- 27:08Speaker 1: I mean, actually, look at me. You look great. And
- 27:10Speaker 1: you know what I love about Ritual is they have
- 27:13Speaker 1: this special patent in system where the pill doesn't make
- 27:17Speaker 1: you feel bad because it bypasses. It's a slow release
- 27:20Speaker 1: into your stomach. Because I used to not take vitamins
- 27:23Speaker 1: because they would always make me nauseous. Yes, and then
- 27:27Speaker 1: and then your p would burn and your p burns.
- 27:30Speaker 1: Yet that's a personal problem and you get checked out.
- 27:35Speaker 1: Never mind one in every three of you listening right
- 27:38Speaker 1: now is wasting your time and money on multi vitamins
- 27:42Speaker 1: full of ingredients that your body can't actually use. Actually,
- 27:45Speaker 1: what you're talking about, right, and I mean it like
- 27:47Speaker 1: if you take too many vitamins, your actually burns because no, yeah,
- 27:49Speaker 1: you shouldn't be taking vitamins you don't need, know exactly,
- 27:52Speaker 1: and your stomach rds, your mind starts hurting, you get
- 27:54Speaker 1: dizzy life some mess when you're taking too many items
- 27:56Speaker 1: that you don't need. Traditional vitamins contain fullic acid, a
- 28:00Speaker 1: synthetic nutrient that at least one in three of all women.
- 28:04Speaker 1: The only vitamin that solves for this is they are
- 28:09Speaker 1: ritual caters to the women, which they use full eight,
- 28:13Speaker 1: which all women can process because they actually care. No, wait,
- 28:19Speaker 1: read that stat because it's a fascinating stat about full eight. Yeah.
- 28:23Speaker 1: Traditional vitamins contain fullic acid, a synthetic nutrient that at
- 28:28Speaker 1: least one in three women of all women cannot process.
- 28:31Speaker 1: The only vitamin that solves for that is ritual. They
- 28:35Speaker 1: use full eight, which all women can prossate process because
- 28:39Speaker 1: they actually care about ingredient forms. Isn't that magical? It is?
- 28:43Speaker 1: They care? Yeah, I care? You care, actually, Blake we're
- 28:47Speaker 1: still trying to figure that out. They make a vitamin
- 28:49Speaker 1: that works for all women, not just some. And and
- 28:54Speaker 1: as you've been taking ritual, it's been great for you.
- 28:57Speaker 1: It's been so good. It's been really good for my
- 28:59Speaker 1: energy level is in digestion because I just I really,
- 29:02Speaker 1: I'm honestly, I hit thirty and all of a sudden,
- 29:04Speaker 1: I'm tired all the time. I never used to be tired,
- 29:07Speaker 1: but but the ritual stuff has really been helping me.
- 29:10Speaker 1: You gotta get some energy. You've got a big dancing
- 29:12Speaker 1: night ahead of you in about a year. Um, a
- 29:14Speaker 1: big dancing night your wedding. Yeah, I know, I got
- 29:17Speaker 1: one night in a year. I mean maybe some more.
- 29:20Speaker 1: Who knows? Um? All right, So which ritual is essential
- 29:24Speaker 1: for women? Okay, here's some stats. I want to talk

- 30:00Speaker 1: of all the vitamins you get with a ritual. Yeah,
- 30:03Speaker 1: we all try, We all try to eat healthy here.

- 34:28Speaker 1: I mean, we got Lance Bass over here behind us
- 34:31Speaker 1: from in Sync. He was just on the podcast. Yeah yeah,
- 34:34Speaker 1: so we got the in Sync guys walking around. Um,
- 34:38Speaker 1: a ton of people doing awesome things and the two
- 34:40Speaker 1: of you, Uh, welcome to Las Vegas. Welcome to the
- 34:44Speaker 1: Almost Famous podcast. Thank you both for supporting. He made
- 34:47Speaker 1: even hope united. And uh, you know what, sometimes in
- 34:50Speaker 1: life you do great things. And you went to Honduras
- 34:53Speaker 1: with the team. You worked hard, you've seen it, you're
- 34:55Speaker 1: you're passionate. You come back. What was your biggest takeaway
- 34:58Speaker 1: from from Honduras. My biggest takeaway from Honduras was, um
- 35:03Speaker 1: that these people that live out there in these villages
- 35:06Speaker 1: they basically have nothing, like they barely have. We just
- 35:11Speaker 1: got them clean water and some of the villages um,
- 35:14Speaker 1: but they have these homes that are barely built up,
- 35:17Speaker 1: and they were so happy and so on fire for God.
- 35:21Speaker 1: And it's it's so inspiring because every like you go
- 35:25Speaker 1: back to America and you know, you're you're living your
- 35:27Speaker 1: normal life and you don't even think twice to get
- 35:30Speaker 1: clean water or or even take a shower or even
- 35:33Speaker 1: whatever it is. And these people have none of that,
- 35:36Speaker 1: and they are so happy and inspired and it just
- 35:39Speaker 1: really was life changing moment. Honestly, your your heart breaks
- 35:43Speaker 1: when you see poverty for the first time. And here's
- 35:46Speaker 1: the coolest part. The Humane Hope United believes that people
- 35:49Speaker 1: don't have to live in poverty forever forever, that that
- 35:52Speaker 1: every person deserves and and hope, and that every person
- 35:57Speaker 1: is is here for a purpose on purpose, and and
- 36:00Speaker 1: when you go back a year from now, I hope
- 36:02Speaker 1: that those communities that you saw a couple of weeks
- 36:04Speaker 1: ago are in a better place than they were, you know,
- 36:08Speaker 1: this year. So hey, guys, have a blast this weekend.
- 36:10Speaker 1: Enjoy it. Okay, before we leave, whore you most excited
- 36:12Speaker 1: to see j T. Of course he's a big deal. Yeah,

- 36:53Speaker 1: Dean Anglert right now, welcome to the podcast. I'll what
- 37:00Speaker 1: I was going to be here with my co host Jared. No,
- 37:02Speaker 1: you're not going to be a favorite Jared. It's about
- 37:04Speaker 1: us right now. Well, hey, guys, think been like a
- 37:06Speaker 1: year since you've been on our podcast, since you've got
- 37:08Speaker 1: all cool and got your own It's been a year
- 37:10Speaker 1: since I've been on this podcast. It's been six months
- 37:12Speaker 1: since I've seen one of my great friends, Ashley and well,
- 37:15Speaker 1: six months might be an exaggeration, but it's been a really,
- 37:18Speaker 1: really long time, and it has felt really wrong. It's
- 37:20Speaker 1: been too long since I've seen my other great friend.
- 37:22Speaker 1: Ben Higgins has a special place in my heart. He
- 37:25Speaker 1: knows this. I love Dean dearly. We've all just kind
- 37:27Speaker 1: of moved apart from each other, okay, but let's be real,
- 37:30Speaker 1: we've all been all over the heart. I don't want
- 37:33Speaker 1: to think that you went on like a whole worldwide
- 37:36Speaker 1: tour and then he has been on a countrywide tour,
- 37:38Speaker 1: and I've been bouncing between the she's been getting married
- 37:41Speaker 1: and stuff. Don't get me wrong, I respect everyone's initiatives
- 37:44Speaker 1: that they have on a regular basis. I just missed
- 37:46Speaker 1: my friends, but I really missed You're not growing apart, though, don't.
- 37:49Speaker 1: I feel like our relationship has never faded. Apologize. We
- 37:53Speaker 1: had the kind of friendship where I don't need to
- 37:54Speaker 1: see you all the time, but then when I do
- 37:57Speaker 1: see you, we'll just bounce right back. I sometimes question
- 38:00Speaker 1: and whether or not I'm going to get invited of
- 38:01Speaker 1: the wedding. What I know, And it's crazy to me.
- 38:03Speaker 1: It's like I don't talk to actually obviously, once a
- 38:06Speaker 1: week on my day one. Yes, all give me a
- 38:11Speaker 1: little exclusive here. We're not having a ton of Bachelor
- 38:14Speaker 1: Nation at the wedding, but obviously you guys are two givens.
- 38:18Speaker 1: I've got an issue with Dean, and he knows what's
- 38:21Speaker 1: about to be talked about. Actually we haven't talked about
- 38:23Speaker 1: this yet. I don't know if I'm ready. First off,
- 38:25Speaker 1: I show up to this new reunion with Deny as
- 38:26Speaker 1: an ear ring, which I don't get. But he's wearing
- 38:31Speaker 1: a stud because he's in Vegas. He says, the second
- 38:34Speaker 1: piece today. The second I saw him, I go, he's
- 38:38Speaker 1: the second piece. My aunts when I was ten years old,
- 38:40Speaker 1: it was visiting from Jersey, I live in Colorado. She
- 38:43Speaker 1: made me get my ear pierced on my left ear,
- 38:44Speaker 1: one piercing. I got it pierced. Come back eight years
- 38:47Speaker 1: later when I was eighteen in high school and I
- 38:49Speaker 1: was trying to be the cool guy, so I got
- 38:50Speaker 1: two diamond studs on either ear. But I had to
- 38:53Speaker 1: move the left ear piercing up more so I had
- 38:55Speaker 1: to repierce it. So I have always had two piercings
- 38:58Speaker 1: on my left ear, and just recently decide to come
- 39:00Speaker 1: out and continue to wear them two piercings in one year. Anyway,
- 39:04Speaker 1: it looks I actually think it looks really good on him.
- 39:06Speaker 1: Of course everything looks good. It's stupid. It's what makes
- 39:11Speaker 1: me maddest, is like he can do. What is your
- 39:13Speaker 1: second point? My second point is this Dean told me
- 39:17Speaker 1: when we're in Honduras together with Human and Hope United,
- 39:20Speaker 1: which is the organization that were life. It was amazing.
- 39:23Speaker 1: It was an awesome that he doesn't wear underwear. And
- 39:27Speaker 1: just like we know that no, no, no, just famously,
- 39:29Speaker 1: like Colden just said on Paradise, he doesn't wherever I
- 39:31Speaker 1: always were underwear. But because I love Dean and I
- 39:34Speaker 1: look up to Dean and I think Dean's awesome, I
- 39:36Speaker 1: at the time decided subconsciously I'm gonna stop wearing underwear.
- 39:40Speaker 1: So here's what happened. One day, I'm at the gym
- 39:43Speaker 1: doing squats and I realized that doing squats in the
- 39:48Speaker 1: gym without underwear with shorts on doesn't work. Like it
- 39:52Speaker 1: just doesn't. There's no way this works as a as
- 39:54Speaker 1: a man, this this doesn't feel great, it doesn't fit.
- 39:56Speaker 1: I was thinking splitting, But now that you say, yeah,
- 39:59Speaker 1: thing happened out pop out slide down, get pinched. It's bad.
- 40:05Speaker 1: And so I called Dean right away. I said, Dean,
- 40:08Speaker 1: I don't get it. How do you work out without underwear?
- 40:10Speaker 1: And he goes, no, no, he goes, oh, no I
- 40:12Speaker 1: work out. He goes, I just wear underwear. When our
- 40:15Speaker 1: cry said, well that's do you lie to me there?
- 40:16Speaker 1: Because you do under here's the second point. Okay, So
- 40:20Speaker 1: I start wearing jeans without underwear. It is uncomfortable. You
- 40:23Speaker 1: get used to it. It's sweaty, it's it's weird. You
- 40:26Speaker 1: have to get callouston areas you never want to get.
- 40:28Speaker 1: Why would you even try? Because I want to be liked. Okay.
- 40:33Speaker 1: I get a text two weeks ago he can admit
- 40:35Speaker 1: to this from a mutual friend of ours, Tiffany, And
- 40:38Speaker 1: she goes just to let you know Dean's wearing underwear tonight.
- 40:42Speaker 1: Not that she she's married, but he made sure to
- 40:45Speaker 1: tell her. Hey text. I was playing golf with Tiffany's
- 40:48Speaker 1: husband's and when I play, when I partake husband yes
- 40:52Speaker 1: who we were at their wedding. Actually, it's so long ago.
- 40:54Speaker 1: Whenever I do anything athletic, whether it's going to the gym,
- 40:57Speaker 1: playing golf, playing basketball, I'll always wear a depression underwear thing.
- 41:02Speaker 1: Whether it's a short of compression pants, I don't know.
- 41:04Speaker 1: I'm sorry for not making that out now. I'll tell
- 41:07Speaker 1: you right now, I'll tell all the listeners listen to this.
- 41:09Speaker 1: Right now, I'm wearing a pair of jeans, not wearing
- 41:10Speaker 1: a pair of underwear underneath them. It's all as circumstantial.
- 41:13Speaker 1: And every single time I say I don't wear underwear,
- 41:16Speaker 1: it always comes to an asterix. And I apologize for
- 41:19Speaker 1: not being more clear to you initially. We found that
- 41:21Speaker 1: out after after months and months of rug burns. I'm
- 41:23Speaker 1: not going to go ahead and go to the gym
- 41:25Speaker 1: and go do some squats because obviously we don't want
- 41:27Speaker 1: everyone's business out for the world to see. This is
- 41:30Speaker 1: a bad barstool video waiting to happen. It's like a jackass.
- 41:35Speaker 1: Really don't understand how you men don't wear underwear with jeans. No,
- 41:39Speaker 1: we do. I just imagined us, not because Dean guided
- 41:44Speaker 1: me in the wrong direction, but like you, we do.
- 41:46Speaker 1: Like I just said, I'm wearing jeans right now, I'm
- 41:48Speaker 1: not wearing underwear. It's liberating. Worry about the zipper and
- 41:52Speaker 1: the roughness, things like the free the nip campaign. Think
- 41:55Speaker 1: about think about why underwear might have been invented, and
- 41:58Speaker 1: think about who invented it. I honestly think it was
- 42:01Speaker 1: the laundry to Turngent. Connoisseurs got together and they're like,
- 42:04Speaker 1: we need humans to have more clothes to wash. What
- 42:07Speaker 1: could we do? What can we do? They're already wearing pants,
- 42:09Speaker 1: are always wearing shirts. What else can we tell them
- 42:11Speaker 1: they need to wear They need to be wearing underwear. Oh,
- 42:13Speaker 1: if they wear more underwear, they'll have to use more
- 42:15Speaker 1: to turgent. If they use more to turnship, we make
- 42:17Speaker 1: more money. But a being about a boom underwear it
- 42:20Speaker 1: came into existence our love, Dean. You know that underwear
- 42:23Speaker 1: came along way before detergent. I don't know, I don't know. Unbelievable, hey, Dean. Um,
- 42:31Speaker 1: we have been opened up these packages recently. Their boxes
- 42:34Speaker 1: they're pretty incredible. They're full of products. Um, tell me
- 42:37Speaker 1: about these box soon or sooner or later, they're going
- 42:40Speaker 1: to come out and and underwear is going to be involved. Dean.
- 42:43Speaker 1: We need you to tell us about fat pit fun.
- 42:46Speaker 1: You guys haven't heard about fat pit fun? Are you
- 42:48Speaker 1: kidding me? Well? What's amazing about fait fun is that
- 42:50Speaker 1: the box is worth over two hundred dollars every time
- 42:54Speaker 1: you get it. Yeah, actually it can go up to
- 42:57Speaker 1: like four hundred dollars, but you're gonna get at it
- 43:00Speaker 1: for with our code, which is almost famous. You want
- 43:05Speaker 1: to know, one thing I took for granted initially when
- 43:07Speaker 1: I started getting fun was the Himalayan Sea salt. You
- 43:10Speaker 1: drink it, That's the thing. I took it for granted
- 43:15Speaker 1: because I thought you had to cook with it. Add
- 43:17Speaker 1: a pinch of it to your water every morning. It's
- 43:19Speaker 1: so minerally beneficial to your body. If I had no idea, Yeah,
- 43:24Speaker 1: I do it every morning. Now you say drink, He
- 43:26Speaker 1: said cook, and I said, babe, No, I said, I
- 43:28Speaker 1: thought you had to cook with it. But now I
- 43:29Speaker 1: know you can add to your drinks. Adds your water
- 43:31Speaker 1: every morning, a pinch of it. It helps you. It
- 43:33Speaker 1: helps you. You're buying water pain water and adds minerals.
- 43:36Speaker 1: And so, now if you looked at my fingers, they're
- 43:39Speaker 1: a little puffy because I'm hydrated. I always feel like
- 43:42Speaker 1: when I'm puffy, I'm dehydrated in some weird way. I
- 43:46Speaker 1: think that's we live in Denver. You have to stay
- 43:48Speaker 1: hydrated beyond the Himalayan see salt. Though. There's also other
- 43:52Speaker 1: things like skin care from Glam Blow Kate, Summerville dr
- 43:55Speaker 1: Brand and Jews, beauty fashion items from Vince Kamudu Camuto
- 43:59Speaker 1: and Free People. I love free People. Free people that
- 44:02Speaker 1: got the cutest close and what they have in the
- 44:03Speaker 1: fabfit Fund boxes are these amazing sleep eyemasks. And not
- 44:08Speaker 1: only does it cover your eyes completely and you don't
- 44:11Speaker 1: get any sunlight no matter how sunny the room is,
- 44:14Speaker 1: it also has this little gel insert that you could
- 44:16Speaker 1: put a cooling a cooling insert and it deep puffs
- 44:19Speaker 1: your eyes and you know, I love it well. I
- 44:22Speaker 1: used to have Dean go put deep puffer on his
- 44:24Speaker 1: eyes and he like was into it. But be careful
- 44:26Speaker 1: with those eyemasks. You don't want to mess up your
- 44:28Speaker 1: circadian rhythm too much. It's something that we're all reading
- 44:30Speaker 1: about and am just the first one to say it. Anyways,
- 44:33Speaker 1: I know this is not my podcast. This is not
- 44:35Speaker 1: my podcast, but I'm encouraging you as a listener to
- 44:38Speaker 1: go to fabfit fund dot com use the code almost famous.
- 44:41Speaker 1: You can save ten dollars on your first box, making
- 44:43Speaker 1: only thirty for the very first month that you get
- 44:47Speaker 1: the box and you're not gonna regret it. Dean of
- 44:51Speaker 1: of the past year doing help I suck at dating?
- 44:54Speaker 1: Your podcast with I Heart, Thank you so much for
- 44:56Speaker 1: plugging it. What is the ultimate thing you've learned up
- 45:00Speaker 1: out dating? Like? What are you now less sucky at?
- 45:04Speaker 1: I think that it would be pretty consistent for me
- 45:06Speaker 1: to say that I'm just better at communicating. I was
- 45:09Speaker 1: actually just talking to Ben about this in the elevator
- 45:11Speaker 1: on the way down here. Is I'm much more able
- 45:15Speaker 1: and willing to communicate my either like hesitancy to answer
- 45:18Speaker 1: into relationship or my concerns about a specific relationship that
- 45:21Speaker 1: I might be entering into. And it's something that I
- 45:23Speaker 1: would always try to gloss over or ignore in the past,
- 45:27Speaker 1: and it's something that I've been much more willing and
- 45:28Speaker 1: able to talk about now. A lot of that is
- 45:32Speaker 1: because of the podcast, right, Like a lot of podcast
- 45:34Speaker 1: it because your experiences on The Bachelor, or you're just
- 45:36Speaker 1: getting older. Well, it's it's what the Chicken and the Egg, right,
- 45:39Speaker 1: Like the podcast came from The Bachelor, which exactly, and
- 45:41Speaker 1: so it's like all these things that come together to
- 45:44Speaker 1: I don't know, I I still feel like I have
- 45:46Speaker 1: a lot to work on. It's still the podcast retains
- 45:49Speaker 1: its name for a specific reason. Um, but communication. I've
- 45:53Speaker 1: just gotten so much, so much better at which is
- 45:56Speaker 1: good for me. And like I'll notice myself like being
- 45:59Speaker 1: really good at it, and like get home from like
- 46:00Speaker 1: a date or something, I'll put myself on the back
- 46:02Speaker 1: and be like, good job, do you Whendy? When will
- 46:06Speaker 1: the podcast name switched to? Like undine I'm great at dating?
- 46:10Speaker 1: I don't think I think i'll be In ten years,
- 46:12Speaker 1: I'll be married with three kids, uh, living the life
- 46:16Speaker 1: that I've always wanted to live, and I'll still have
- 46:18Speaker 1: a podcast called to help I suck at dating and
- 46:20Speaker 1: then an ideal world. That's what it will be. I
- 46:22Speaker 1: always plan on having it. If it's not about me,
- 46:25Speaker 1: it's about the listener. And that's kind of how I've
- 46:29Speaker 1: kind of perceived at this point. So isn't it funny
- 46:32Speaker 1: that a year and a half ago May was our
- 46:34Speaker 1: one year anniversary we started this podcast journey and now
- 46:38Speaker 1: this is so much a part of our lives actually
- 46:39Speaker 1: and I talking about it all the time. Is how
- 46:41Speaker 1: now we're known for almost famous podcasts and not necessarily
- 46:44Speaker 1: The Bachelor Batchler app Isn't it crazy how this whole
- 46:47Speaker 1: thing with I Heart Radio has switched to being our
- 46:50Speaker 1: kind of new identity or a new career. My number
- 46:53Speaker 1: one favorite thing I hear to hear I love to
- 46:56Speaker 1: hear from someone that I meet randomly out in the streets,
- 46:58Speaker 1: no matter where it is. Nine times out of ten,
- 47:01Speaker 1: I'll get, oh my god, Dean, you're from the Bachelorette,
- 47:03Speaker 1: Like I loved you on your season. That's great. I
- 47:05Speaker 1: love hearing that. But my number one favorite thing, no
- 47:07Speaker 1: matter what it is, is always, oh my god, Dean,
- 47:09Speaker 1: I loved your podcast. I love listening to it. I love,
- 47:12Speaker 1: obviously like hearing everything you have to talk about every week.
- 47:14Speaker 1: That to me is like the most incredible thing. And
- 47:16Speaker 1: so I can imagine the same thing that you guys
- 47:18Speaker 1: experienced when you meet someone and they say, oh my god,
- 47:19Speaker 1: I love almost stayed missed like that because it's something
- 47:23Speaker 1: that you helped create. You know, It's like it's it's
- 47:24Speaker 1: more you than anything else that you've done in the past,
- 47:27Speaker 1: and so that just like gives you so much more
- 47:28Speaker 1: pride and ownership in it. I always tell people, wouldn't
- 47:30Speaker 1: they say that? I go, that is my favorite thing
- 47:32Speaker 1: to hear. Yeah, it is, it really is, but it
- 47:36Speaker 1: feels personal. I guess it feels more personal than somebody saying, hey,
- 47:39Speaker 1: we appreciate you on the Bachelor, we love because that
- 47:41Speaker 1: is you know, that's a different beast. You're gonna love
- 47:44Speaker 1: the Bachelor, Bachelotte. You're gonna think there's somebody special when
- 47:47Speaker 1: you listen to this. You know that. You know, all
- 47:49Speaker 1: of us try really hard, but we're not any better
- 47:52Speaker 1: than or worse than anybody else out there. We're just trying,
- 47:55Speaker 1: you know, working through this life. And you are who
- 47:56Speaker 1: you are, unedited, unperturbed, whatever it is, it's just you
- 48:00Speaker 1: are who you are. You helped create this thing and
- 48:02Speaker 1: people appreciate you for it. And that's a rare thing
- 48:05Speaker 1: that not many people get to experience. And even if
- 48:07Speaker 1: you experience it in the most minor or like small
- 48:10Speaker 1: amount of ways, which sometimes I feel like I do,
- 48:12Speaker 1: I get, you know, not quite as many listens as
- 48:15Speaker 1: almost famous podcast does. But to even have such a
- 48:18Speaker 1: small influence on a certain amount of people is such
- 48:22Speaker 1: a unique feeling. And then so obviously to blow that up,
- 48:25Speaker 1: expand it to to where you guys are, and obviously
- 48:27Speaker 1: you both have been very big, very impactful on the
- 48:30Speaker 1: Bachelor franchise. Regardless of what you want to admit it
- 48:32Speaker 1: or not, it's always nice to hear someone cares about
- 48:35Speaker 1: what you have to say in something that you helped create,
- 48:38Speaker 1: you know, and so to to be able to have
- 48:41Speaker 1: that effect on people, it's very We're very fortunate to
- 48:43Speaker 1: be where we are, and I heard fest kind of
- 48:46Speaker 1: seems like that reunion, that moment to take a step
- 48:47Speaker 1: back and be like, what the heck are we doing?
- 48:49Speaker 1: Like we're behind the scenes with you know, Kelly Clarkson
- 48:54Speaker 1: and Carrie Underwood and Jesser and timber Lake. Whoa what
- 48:56Speaker 1: are we doing to the three people that I'm going
- 48:58Speaker 1: to fan girl up? Yeah, but we don't belong here,
- 49:01Speaker 1: but yet in some odd way we do. Um Dean,
- 49:04Speaker 1: we love you. You're the best. I can't wait up
- 49:07Speaker 1: a great weekend with you. Everybody, watch out. I love
- 49:14Speaker 1: you guys, Thank you for having me, everybody. Jane's podcast

- 50:25Speaker 1: by Ashley I. But then, like, have my legal name
- 50:29Speaker 1: be Ashley doesn't make any sense. It doesn't nothing make
- 50:31Speaker 1: sense in this world. You know what I feel bad

- 50:39Speaker 1: end that, Jared, nice job. I feel like a jerk.
- 50:43Speaker 1: Lauren will be there. I mean, Jared, she's already wearing

- 51:12Speaker 1: Dean and I are going to record a live podcast
- 51:14Speaker 1: here a Planet Hollywood right next to the pool, which
- 51:15Speaker 1: would be pretty cool. Help I suck a dating. You
- 51:17Speaker 1: guys should totally check it out. It's great, like How
- 51:20Speaker 1: to Date in Vegas, which I don't think anybody is
- 51:24Speaker 1: equipped to answer. Really as like an episode dedicated to
- 51:28Speaker 1: save sex. I mean we could. We're in the right
- 51:31Speaker 1: spot for it, next to the pool. Not a bad
- 51:34Speaker 1: idea for your podcast. That's a good topic. Nick, You're
- 51:38Speaker 1: in Vegas celebrating along with us. There's a ton of
- 51:40Speaker 1: people out here. It's actually pretty loud behind us. I
- 51:41Speaker 1: don't know how loud it really is. This is a
- 51:43Speaker 1: good group this year. You and I were just in
- 51:46Speaker 1: Vegas together to open up our our slot machine. They're
- 51:50Speaker 1: all over Vegas. We had a good time. We laid
- 51:53Speaker 1: by the pool together, we talk live, we caught up.
- 51:55Speaker 1: Then it seems like Vegas is our our boy spot.
- 51:58Speaker 1: Was that the last time I saw you? Yeah, I
- 52:00Speaker 1: think it was. The Real question is how does it
- 52:02Speaker 1: feel for you guys to have your face on a machine.
- 52:06Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna lie. Humbly speaking, awesome,
- 52:10Speaker 1: it was pretty good. I'm really jealous. It's really it's
- 52:16Speaker 1: really cool. I'm not Yeah, it's it's funny. I get
- 52:21Speaker 1: a lot of pictures from my buddies, uh, with like
- 52:23Speaker 1: them taking a picture at the slot machine. Uh, And
- 52:26Speaker 1: it's like that's just wild right that I'm like And
- 52:29Speaker 1: it doesn't help that the scene that's played of me
- 52:31Speaker 1: is is Lauren, I'm making out on a couch. That's
- 52:34Speaker 1: not fun to be like gambling and losing money, and
- 52:36Speaker 1: then you look up in the screen and it's like, oh,
- 52:39Speaker 1: here's a double dagger. But it is kind of fun
- 52:42Speaker 1: other than it being awesome. What bugs you more about
- 52:44Speaker 1: the slot machine the fact that it's you and Lauren
- 52:47Speaker 1: making out you're no longer Lauren, or all the money
- 52:49Speaker 1: we don't make from it. That the jackpot of above
- 52:52Speaker 1: is like two million dollars and I'm like, it's not
- 52:55Speaker 1: like we've made zero sense from it. Wait, Nick, what's
- 53:01Speaker 1: your video? I don't is there a video. I don't
- 53:03Speaker 1: even know there was a video. It's just yeah, it's
- 53:05Speaker 1: in her I don't remember. I don't think I'm like
- 53:08Speaker 1: smiling or something. It's just looking hot. I just I
- 53:12Speaker 1: honestly don't know. I do remember that it was you
- 53:14Speaker 1: and Lauren because it was like there was a makeup.
- 53:16Speaker 1: It was like it's like awkwardly like intense and so
- 53:19Speaker 1: like it's not fun to watch. I think it was
- 53:22Speaker 1: like a Limo entrance or something with just looking good.
- 53:26Speaker 1: All right, so for everybody out here, And then I'm
- 53:27Speaker 1: gonna stop talking because everyone wants to hear from you. Three.
- 53:30Speaker 1: I was in a room the other day and my
- 53:34Speaker 1: my buddy Brandon, he was thirty seven, asked me what
- 53:38Speaker 1: Nick start uses to keep looking so young, because, in
- 53:42Speaker 1: his opinion, and Brandon's married, Nick is a hot guy. Nick,
- 53:46Speaker 1: everybody coming from a man big? What is? What is? Uh?
- 53:52Speaker 1: What routine do you use? How do you keep yourself
- 53:55Speaker 1: looking so good all the time? I mean, I gotta
- 53:59Speaker 1: give mom and dad some props. I don't know if
- 54:04Speaker 1: like for a couple of like people who have I mean,
- 54:07Speaker 1: I know, my mom birthed eleven children, but and she
- 54:10Speaker 1: gets all the credit, but like trying to like even
- 54:13Speaker 1: that's a lot of stress, even for my dad, I
- 54:15Speaker 1: don't know how they still look relatively young. But other
- 54:19Speaker 1: than that, I just try to say an active I mean,
- 54:21Speaker 1: I I'm unfortunately not in a relationship or married, and
- 54:24Speaker 1: I don't have kids, And while I wish I had,
- 54:28Speaker 1: I'm certainly like the level of stress I don't have
- 54:31Speaker 1: from that, maybe it helps. I also just honestly just
- 54:34Speaker 1: try to, you know, stay active and have everything in moderation. Um,
- 54:40Speaker 1: I don't have any Unfortunately, I don't have any secret
- 54:43Speaker 1: sauce you don't put any cream on your face sometimes.
- 54:47Speaker 1: Come on, you don't have a daily process for your face.
- 54:50Speaker 1: I wish he did. I try to do it for him.
- 54:55Speaker 1: He doesn't. I mean, he doesn't need one. Yeah, not
- 54:58Speaker 1: as right now. I thought you do. In the next foliot,
- 55:01Speaker 1: I thought Ashley told us in the podcast that you
- 55:02Speaker 1: started to do this scrub. That was like she oh,
- 55:06Speaker 1: she gave me a scrub. So I did get my
- 55:08Speaker 1: first facial that's when I left Facial couple weeks ago.
- 55:12Speaker 1: They're fatastic. But so when I left, they gave me
- 55:16Speaker 1: this scrub that I'm supposed to be using that I
- 55:19Speaker 1: haven't used as of yet. And apparently to Ashley, my
- 55:22Speaker 1: black pores are coming back, and she's really nervous. Actually,
- 55:27Speaker 1: how am I blackheads? Blackheads on my nose? And apparently
- 55:31Speaker 1: these black heads make your nose bigger, which is why
- 55:33Speaker 1: older men have like inflamed nose tips. So she's very
- 55:37Speaker 1: concerned about this. Well, your ears in your nose, for
- 55:40Speaker 1: those of you who don't know, are the only things
- 55:42Speaker 1: in your face that continue to grow. Yeah, I don't
- 55:45Speaker 1: know anything about the black head aspect of it, but
- 55:47Speaker 1: I do know how Actually, what's my black head situation.
- 55:51Speaker 1: You're completely clear. Thank god, I'm not. I do not
- 55:55Speaker 1: have you are? You have a routine? Ben? You look right?
- 55:59Speaker 1: You know of a routine. I do use lotion. Also
- 56:02Speaker 1: blown away by your lotion and your hair routine. Yeah,
- 56:05Speaker 1: so this is a big deal in your hair. You
- 56:07Speaker 1: guys have ever heard? They didn't know this since I
- 56:08Speaker 1: was in college. When I was in college, one day,
- 56:10Speaker 1: I remember this moment. I was going to play basketball
- 56:12Speaker 1: and my hair was long. Of times it was a
- 56:14Speaker 1: little frizzy. So I put I was lotion on my
- 56:17Speaker 1: face and I put I just like it got in
- 56:19Speaker 1: my hair somehow, and I noticed that it was like
- 56:21Speaker 1: the perfect texture. So I put a lotion in my hair,
- 56:24Speaker 1: body lotion, just regular body lotion, and it worked. And
- 56:26Speaker 1: then I sweated playing basketball and it didn't burn my
- 56:28Speaker 1: eyes and it didn't give me that sticky jelly filling,
- 56:30Speaker 1: and so ever since then, I used that like a gel,
- 56:34Speaker 1: like a gel, like a like in high school when
- 56:37Speaker 1: you yeah, it's terribly like palmaid. Well no, so I
- 56:43Speaker 1: use body lotion. I always have and so for me,
- 56:46Speaker 1: body lotion is my routine I put in my hair
- 56:48Speaker 1: every day. It works. Great. You have another one now,
- 56:52Speaker 1: you brush your eyelashes in your eye like a little
- 56:58Speaker 1: eyelash should. Yeah, it's worth it. It It feels good and
- 57:02Speaker 1: it stretches him out. It's nice. What's my eyebrows? I
- 57:06Speaker 1: liked it. I love to touch his face. I touched
- 57:09Speaker 1: his eyelashes all the time. I think that they need
- 57:12Speaker 1: to have a last strip called the Jared because it's
- 57:15Speaker 1: just the perfect fanned out eyelash have. Yeah, you have
- 57:20Speaker 1: beautiful stop jus like one thing that has never been
- 57:25Speaker 1: brought up, and actually, you know, I've never talked about it. Um, Jared.
- 57:29Speaker 1: When we were on the Bachelorette together, Jared was one
- 57:31Speaker 1: person that I connected with, probably the most out of
- 57:34Speaker 1: anybody else other than you know, maybe Sean Booth and
- 57:36Speaker 1: right here. You and I did really bael. Our time
- 57:40Speaker 1: on the bacheloret was short because your week five and
- 57:42Speaker 1: then you kind of went. We went in isolation only
- 57:44Speaker 1: a couple of weeks after. Yeah yeah, um, but but Jared,
- 57:49Speaker 1: you and I did. I just fell in love with
- 57:51Speaker 1: you as a man. You're just a good dude, Like
- 57:53Speaker 1: you're a solid human being. We knew it. And then
- 57:56Speaker 1: Ashley gets with you and you know, work or co
- 57:58Speaker 1: host and so there's always this like love for you
- 58:00Speaker 1: and and love. I think what we had for each other.
- 58:03Speaker 1: Oh yeah, um you you know what? You know what
- 58:06Speaker 1: I love. I love the most about you in the
- 58:08Speaker 1: Bachelorette is all these compliments. I looked around, this isn't
- 58:12Speaker 1: a disk to you. I felt like there's like two
- 58:14Speaker 1: people in the room that were like, we don't belong here,
- 58:16Speaker 1: and that was you and I, Oh, totally. I vividly
- 58:18Speaker 1: remember sitting on You were sitting on the couch and
- 58:20Speaker 1: I was sitting next to you, and I remember we're
- 58:23Speaker 1: looking at each other. And it was the second night,
- 58:24Speaker 1: because we had two first nights, and then I we
- 58:27Speaker 1: were like what the hell are we doing here? Because
- 58:30Speaker 1: I think it was like McDill was jumping in the
- 58:31Speaker 1: pool and that whole thing was going down and it
- 58:34Speaker 1: was like, man, this is just out of the ordinary.
- 58:36Speaker 1: But yeah, I had two first nights. I know we
- 58:39Speaker 1: filmed because it was just so long. But I also
- 58:42Speaker 1: remember one of my want to clarify, so on our
- 58:44Speaker 1: night one of the bachelorette, it was we had two bachelorettes.
- 58:47Speaker 1: We had Britain Caitlin, and because there was so many
- 58:49Speaker 1: people trying to meet with them. Usually they only film
- 58:52Speaker 1: one night and then you go into a cocktail party
- 58:54Speaker 1: and six or seven guys go home. But because there
- 58:57Speaker 1: were so many people and two bachelorettes, they actually had
- 58:59Speaker 1: two nights. So we filmed one night, went back to
- 59:02Speaker 1: the hotel. Then the next night put exactly what we
- 59:05Speaker 1: had on and went and filmed the rest of the
- 59:07Speaker 1: part in the rose ceremony and all that good stuff,
- 59:10Speaker 1: even though you guys saw it as one night on TV. Yeah,
- 59:15Speaker 1: and Nick just dude, he was like Brett Farve there,
- 59:18Speaker 1: He's like, you know, I'm skipping training camp. I'm just
- 59:23Speaker 1: I'm ready to come. Um. And then but what I
- 59:26Speaker 1: remember most is actually at the Mentel all uh Ben.
- 59:29Speaker 1: I sat next year at the Mentel All, and then
- 59:31Speaker 1: we left and I went back to Rhode Island and
- 59:34Speaker 1: you texted me and you were like, hey, man, I
- 59:35Speaker 1: just want to let you know that I was super
- 59:37Speaker 1: nervous going into Mentel All felt really just weird. And
- 59:40Speaker 1: he was like, but sitting next to you really calmed
- 59:43Speaker 1: me down because we started talking and then we just
- 59:45Speaker 1: started making fun of ourselves and they're like, okay, never mind,
- 59:48Speaker 1: this is fine, It's all well and good. Um and
- 59:50Speaker 1: That was one of my favorite things, like favorite moments
- 59:52Speaker 1: between the two of us. I never told you because
- 59:53Speaker 1: it was such a small moment, but just it was
- 59:56Speaker 1: really nice of you to text me saying, hey, you
- 59:58Speaker 1: settled me down, dude, you did, and that was that
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: was really You're sitt in this freaking house and you
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: get guys like Nick, and you get guys like this
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: Scene and Blake and Sean Booth and all these don
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: never forget when Sean Booth walked out, dude, and you're like,
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: I'm yeah, You're like, I'm this is studdy. Ryan Gosling
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: is walking to the here we go. He's a good
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: looking guy. But you guys are both beautiful. I don't know,
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: we knew at the time we're out of You're like
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: better looking than Sean. Sean just has the swag. He's
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: got a certain vibe around him. Same thing with Nick. Honestly, Nick,
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: you have a certain swag and vibe around you. That's like,
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: I just to hear you guys say that, because you
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: guys are beautiful. Man. Thanks, but it's true. But it's
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: intimidating because I remember looking at Jared on the couch.
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: There's this moment where Ryan McDill, the guy that left
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: on night one who jumped in pool put me in
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: a headlock and gave me a nuggie, and I popped
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: out a nuggie and I was like, yeah, perfect example.
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: It's like I don't belong here. You would never do
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: that to Sean. Remember be putting a headlock, Nick. I
