  Speaker 1: with i R Radio. Hello, everybody, Welcome to the Almost
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Famous Podcast. Our first episode in the off season, which
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: is not a long off season, it's very short off season,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: but it is an off season. Nonetheless, What's up Ashley?
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: The Bachelor franchise has made it that we haven't had
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: an off season pretty much a whole year. Is this
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: going to be a thing? No, it's not a thing,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: you know, according to spoiler size. Um, we are going
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: to go back to regularly scheduled programming for a while,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: which I think is a good decision. Okay, so it's like,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: we'll have a Bachelorette season after Clayton season. It will
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: air sometime when like when can we do? So we're
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: gonna break here. Um, But I mean, I feel like
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: the viewers have really like if you're a fan of
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: the show and you're like, I'm not miss send an episode,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna, like ever not be around for one.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: I want to know what's going on. Holy cow, you have.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, I would love to do the math on
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: how many hours you spent watching The Bachelor in the
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: last eighteen months. Well, I want to know how many
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: of you, We're like, I'm taking a break. I can't.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: It's not exciting anymore. I would think, actually, if I
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: were to guess, it's gonna be a lot of me guessing,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: a lot of me making things up. I'm gonna make
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: this up. I'm assuming that people tuned in for Michelle's
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: season and they're going to take Clayton's season off. But
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: it's also the wintertime, which usually means that people watch
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: more TV because it's cold outside and it gets dark earlier.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: So I could be wrong, but I just I think,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: like people really excited for Michelle. I think people are
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: gonna get excited for Clayton. I think they're starting to.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: I think the show has done a good job at
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: kind of creating some excitement around it. But I just
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: have a feeling that people are going to be kind
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: of like over watching the show just for a bit.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: We will see it. I mean, I think it's gonna
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: have to do with Clayton not having much of a
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: storyline going off of Michelle season. But um, let's let's
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: get into the most exciting part that we've seen thus far,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and that is Clayton's women. I believe that these girls
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: are gonna be carrying the show. Um. They are creating
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: pretty good promos around them. It feels like pretty good,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: old fashioned bachelor promos. UM. I was a little bit
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: worried watching Katie and Michelle's promos because I was like,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they have I don't I don't
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: know if there's going to be like actually substantial drama.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: But I think these girls are going to bring it.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: And Ben and I are going to go down the list.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: He's going to make his prediction as to what kind
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: of character these girls are going to be. What, you know,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: what their backstory is. He's going to do his like
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: assumption thing, and I am just going to give you
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: some fun facts on them. Ashley is going to be
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the truth teller. I'm just gonna go off and make
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: up stories. We'll see where it takes us. But feel
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: free to follow along with the list as we go.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Makes it more fun. You come up with your stories
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: to please share them with us. But Ashley, I haven't
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: looked the list yet, so these are my first reactions.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: My initial reactions should be right off the cuff. I
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: just pulled the list up in front of me, so
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: let's get going, all right, Um, we will be using
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Bachelor nation dot COM's list the meet the women appearing

  Speaker 1: She's from l A. There's always so many from l A.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: She's twenty six, she's an executive recruiter, Ben, what are
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: your predictions? She cries a lot. The girl is a crier.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: She is uh sweet. She wants to be an actress
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: and as a result, now she's fallen fell into the
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: bachelor world and she is a crier because she wants
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: this so bad. Cassidy's fun facts in clue that she
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: doesn't like clubs because she hates waiting in lines. I
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: hate clubs because they're squishy and they're loud and I
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: can't talk in them and it's just me. Cassidy has
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: matching a matching tattoo with her mom, and she's a
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: pro at driving a stick shift. Claire is up next.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: And why does Claire look so familiar? Am I wrong? No?
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: She she's like a mix between Becca Tilly, and she
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: looks like that one girl from I don't remember what
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: season she was from. She was from I think already season.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I don't remember her name though. Okay, well that doesn't
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: do as much good. But um, here's the deal. Clear
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: looks at the stars for your future in life. She
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: is big into astrology. Just your assumptions, by the way, guys.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: And it looks like she's wearing some type of blood
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: vial around her neck in this picture, which I'm assuming
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: is from a past relative. Oh okay, we're getting real
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: creepy deep on this. She's from Virginia Beach's twenty. She's
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: a spray tanner, and her fun facts include she doesn't
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: like people who don't wear deodorant. That's probably because she's
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: a spray tanner and gets really up close and personal.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: She loves a ray dressing with her buffalo wings. I mean,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: is that really an interesting fact about you? Don't we all?
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: And she loves how to lose a guy in ten
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: days again. Oh my goodness. Okay, this one is a
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: standout because like, what is she doing on the Bachelor? Sorry?
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: I know really smart people including you and I Ben
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Pecking on the Bachelor, but Daria, who is from Baldwin,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: New York, is twenty four years old. Is a law
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: student that was admitted to seven Ivy League schools, ended
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: up getting her Harvard degree and now she's at Yale
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Law School. Holy cal does Yoe Law school? Let you
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: take some time off to go on the Bachelor. She's
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: gonna take a Sylvester off. Um. She's the wise voice
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: in the house. She stays at a drama. She's really confused.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: She's going to be the facial expression girl because her
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: whole world is about to get turned up side down.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: She's just a dealing with really smart people and that
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: there are smart people who on the show. But the
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: drama starts, words start getting spread and she just gets confused. Okay, okay,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I can I can go with that. Her other fun
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: facts included she idolizes a mall clooney because she's a
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: She's a true ally for women. She hates sushi and
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: wants to write a children's book one day. I mean,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: come on, she's she's all that and a bag of chips.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, she's got it going on all right. Next
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: up is Eliza, who comes from Germany Berlin. She's twenty
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: five and a marketing marketing manager. So Liza does this.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: She follows Jessica Clark's skincare team every evening because her
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: skin is flawless, her teeth are as white as white
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: can be. She's glowing during whatever her photo shoot. This
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: is like, this makes no sense to me how somebody
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: can look so put together during a bachelor photo shoot. Wait,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: these are the best photos they've ever taken. Probably it
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: looks like Win like a little bit of fan blowing
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: him during this photo. And her hair is flipping up
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: perfectly in the background. Why she smiles and gazes off
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: into the distance. Here's a Liza's story. Aliza is there
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: to the final four, alright, alright. She also loves food festivals,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: going to the movies by herself, and loves of visiting
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: family in Switzerland with a vacation. Often, um, go into
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: the movies by yourself? Have you done it? Oh? Yeah,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna Yeah. I eat out by myself and I
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: go to the movies by myself. I mean, not as
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: much anymore, because if I just told Jessey I'm going
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: to the movies and see you later, she'd be like, oh,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I want to go, but uh yeah, for years in
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: my life, I did that. Yeah, I've done at a
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: time or two. Jared definitely has done it a lot,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: like like you all right. Next up is a is
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: a Bith. She's thirty two. She's from Highland Ranch, Colorado,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: and she's a real estate advisor. Um well, I was
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: gonna say she's probably dated a friend of mine and
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: I don't really. I mean she's from Highlands Ranch. Yeah,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: she's like right in the age group. So I was
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: gonna say, I've never met her. I don't think in person,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know anything about her. She is in touch
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: with nature. In fact, she is. She's going to be
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: the one that talked to the raccoon. Uh, not not
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: of anything crazy, she just really it's the only thing
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: she can find find to confide in. And she needs
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: some nature around her, especially girl from Highlands Ranch, Colorado.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: I mean she's used to the mountains. She she needs
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: the mountains. She needs that breath of fresh air, and
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: she's gonna have a hard time finding it during this
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: season because she will be living with so many women
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: in bump beds. Her fun facts include she speaks a
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: dozen languages. How fluent are you in them? The bathroom yeah,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, come on, that's insane. I've never heard of anything.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: If that's true, we better see that on the season. Yes,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I want full blown different personalities with each language. Elizabeth
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: loves petting cute dogs. I mean, come on, yeah, I know,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: but who who doesn't like petting cute dogs? And then
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: tattoos are not her thing? Next up, we have n C.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: She is from Bourbank, California. She's twenty eight years old.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: She's a sales manager. Ben, what do you think She's
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: got some cool French and blue tips in this picture?
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: That is true? I mean yeah, here's here's what she does.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: She is my plotties and strugg I do plot. If
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: you've ever wondered why I can touch my toes so easily,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: well there's a reason. Um I do ploates. And she's
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: the Plotties instructor that like subs in that you've never
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: met before. And she walks like, oh, she's gonna be
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: nice and sweet coach me through it. And she puts
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: on that microphrone and she just dominates the room. I mean,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: she's making me hold an air squad for three minutes.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: She's yelling at me that I'm weak as I do
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: it and then we walk out of the room and
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: she's like, hey, I hope you have a good day.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: That could make sense because she loves dance, dance revolution.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: She has taught English to North Korean defectors when she
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: studied abroad, and she would love more opportunities to dress
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: in costume. I couldn't agree more. Gabby is next, and
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Gabby is from Denver, Colorado. Maybe you have friends who
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: have dated her because she's thirty and she's an icy
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: you nurse, Well, I'm partial to anybody towards anybody that
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: lives in Denver. I mean, they've just got a good
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: heart on them. They're incredible people. Uh. She cares deep
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: lee about the girls around her. She's the one at
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: some point that there's gonna be drama in the house
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: and she just stands up and she goes, hey, we
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: need to take a break. Let's all go for a
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: walk and hold hands while to do it. That's the
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: type of girl she has because Denverse taught her well
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: all right, Well, she's terrified of humpback whales, but would
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: love to see one for from Afar in person. She
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: likes to write cards and stomping grapes. In Italy is
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: the top of her bucket list. The next step we
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: have Genevieve. She is from l A. She's a twenty
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: six year old bartender and Ben, what do you think
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: about her? Well, she has the same eyelash thing going
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: on as Mattie Pruitt, where you like clump them together
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: and you you pull them out. You know, I'm talking
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: about what's that called? Well, I mean she's got long
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: lashes and they're a little spidery, but it's okay, they
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: look pretty. I think that was like a thing that,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: like Maddie set that trend. I remember that happening. Uh
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: know what. She She's been in a couple of movies
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: that you'll never see. Um. She she she'll be the
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: person that's like the background me like two or three
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: speaking roles in like a Harold and Kumar film. The
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Bachelor is going to be a great launching point for her.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: In fact, I think she's around a long time because
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: she is sweet, she's driven just things interacting career hasn't
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: worked out for but as a result, she has a
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: little edge to her. She's a mix, I would say
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: between Maddie Pruitt and Vanessa Grimaldi, like Oh, I see
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: way more Vanessa in personality and face. He actually looks
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: a lot like Vanessa. Alright, Well, she doesn't like public speaking,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: she loves going fishing, and says that Haley and Justin
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Bieber are her relationship goals. Yeah again, who's aren't they.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: I find Jessica looking at Justin Bieber and Haley pictures
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: all the time. Really, that's so funny. That's my sister,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: that she's there her couple and she looks at Haley
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: all day long on Instagram. But that's ironic because Haley
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: is the next girl that is on our list. She
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: is from Orlando, Florida. She's twenty six and a pediatric nurse. Yeah,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: she's really shy. She gets walked all over during this season.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: In fact, she's really sweet. She doesn't want to cause
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: any drama. She she just walks into a room and
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: there's a fight going on, and somehow she gets dragged
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: into it and she doesn't know what to do. In fact,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: we're gonna see she's gonna be the narrator of the
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: season because her tears and her emotions are going to
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: be so involved in everybody there. Okay, I feel that
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Haley dreams of hanging out with elephants in Thailand. She's
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: not afraid to go skinny dipping, and she's Taylor Swift's
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: biggest fan. I think you have some competition with that title,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: but we love a girl who likes Taylor. Next step
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: we go ahead. Are people scared of dipping? Is there
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: like a is there something fearful associated with it? I
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: have never and yeah, I would say that I don't
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: have a desire. I'm like a little a little scared
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: of it, Like is it the whatever is underneath the
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: water or is it getting caught? Like what's the fear
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: come from? I think somebody seeing you that you're not with,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Like I would obviously only go sky skinny diving right
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: now with Jared, and I would be just terrified that
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: somebody was going to show up and I'd have to
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: get out and be naked in front of somebody. Okay,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: fair enough. I feel like Ben is the guy in
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: the Ben's the long guy in the locker room. He
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: just locks around totally. Oh yeah, oh yeah, we've all
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: got it. Come on, we were born this way, Jared
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: I are both so discreet. Yeah, we're born this way.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: So funny. Okay, Hunter is next. She is from Charlotte,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: North Carolina. She's twenty eight and a human resources specialist.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: She's a Disney princess looking for her her prince Charming,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: so says her bio. She she looks just like Jenevieve.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: I mean like they could be very like. They definitely
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: could be sisters. They look similar, Yeah, very similar. Um.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: So she wants to be a Disney princess, which means
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: her fashion sense, We're gonna be out of this world
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: this season. I don't. I think she's gonna be a
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: fan favorite. In fact, I would put my first impression
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Rose on her. However, Um, she doesn't last very long
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: because they don't connect. She doesn't connect with Clayton. That's
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: the story I'm gonna make up in my mind. She
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: doesn't connect with Clayton, but Clayton is sad to see
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: her go hm. Well, she's a huge foodie, so if
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: he's not, it's not gonna work out. Her favorite book
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: is A Walk to Remember, I gotta say, is one
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: of the one of the rare times where the movie
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: is way better than the book. And she would love
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: to be one of Justin Bieber's One Less Lonely Girl,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: except for the fact that he's married, and she would
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: also love to have an Australian accent. Next up, we
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: have a Vana. She's from Queens, New York. She is
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: thirty one, and this is a very interesting occupation. She's
• 17:14

  Speaker 1: that you're gonna walk into a room with and everybody
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: has a better time because she's a part of it.

• 17:36
  Speaker 1: on every group date, on every outing, She's going to
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: be the one that like brings joy to the room

  Speaker 1: was embedding nine last night. I turned off my TV
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: and went to sleep and it was fantastic. Oh I
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: have so much anxiety about it. Um. She also loves
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: the idea of dancing naked in the rain and ending
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: that night cuddling after her man washes her hair. WHOA,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: I don't Actually, I'm speechless. I mean, I'm they're almost
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: imagery in my mind. Was just way too much for
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: this moment. I just had to stop talking. There's so
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: much here. Okay, and those weren't even her fun facts
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: as were in her bio, but I had to highlight them.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: She takes herself out to a new restaurant every weekend,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: which is kind of cool. Um. She prefers this is
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: a cookie lady. She preforms. She prefers indoor trees, indoor trees,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: indoor trees like a like a crisp fake Christmas tree.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Are we're talking like trees planted inside. We're talking like sculents,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: like little Actually, I don't take back what I said earlier.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: She's gonna be a good time like. I don't know
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: how this now is going to play out, But I
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: like her. I like her a lot. I want to
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: get to know more cookie things. She also works as
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: a hand model from time to time. Next up, we
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: have Jane. She is thirty three years old from l
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: A Lots of l A Girls social media director. Jade
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: has eyes that will stare into your soul. I mean
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: that Jade's eyes are just piercing me right now. Maybe
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: because I'm like blushing and feeling awkward after the last
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: conversation we just had. But uh, you know what I
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: like Jade. I like her energy. Here's where, here's Where're
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: gonna throw it off and you correct me if I'm wrong, Ashley.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: The the ear piercings, I don't know will be Clayton style.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Like coming from the Midwest, we aren't used to four
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: or five ear rings in an ear. It's just it's
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: if we were back in the Midwest, people would say
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: that would be and we'd be having an edge. We'd
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: have an edge about us. When I got my tattoo,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: they said, oh, you're getting edgy, and it's like, well,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: it's a Bible verse, so we're not going that far.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: But yeah, like she might she might be too edgy
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: for Clayton. Okay, Okay, I guess I can see that
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: being a coast thing. Her fun facts include dreams of
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: a life filled with unlimited kombucha. If that's not the
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: most l a thing I've ever heard. I don't know
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: what is. My dreams include, um me, being able to
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: eat like McDonald's and having an unlimited calorie supply. She's
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: also terrified of tall cliffs and prefers glamping over camping.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: So she just doesn't like heights. Like like you say
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: tall cliffs, but you're like, you just don't like heights. Clips, Yeah,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: do you go on roller coasters? Maybe she goes on
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: roller coasters. Maybe she likes being attached to things because
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: tall cliffs are way scarier than tall roller closers. Maybe
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: maybe I will say this, the amount of jewelry she's
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: wearing in this picture gives me anxiety. I will say
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: that there's I've just counted ten different rings on a finger,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: four different bracelets, four different pieces. I mean, if she
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: wakes up every day and puts that on, I'm not
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: only impressed, but I'm anxious. I had to get my
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: ring tattooed on my finger just so I would remember
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: putting on. It's true, alright, Jill. She's from Rhode Island, Situate,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Rhode Island. I've met her a time or two now,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: she's twenty six. She's an architectural historian. You've met her,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: I have. She's come to Audrey's twice. Uh. Well, does
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: she like generous coffee? She does? Okay, I like this girl.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: She's a gym of a human. She shines bright, she
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: has good taste in everything. Um, she's a Rhode Island girl.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: And we know how Rhode Islands favored on the Bachelor
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Bachelor at they end up becoming stars like are very
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: own Ashley Kennettie, so, well you're Virginia, but you know ish,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: you know you found your way to to Rhode Island. Somehouse.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Jared he was the number four here. You know he
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: was a real star here. He is a star. Well, uh,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: you know what. She she's really in depth. She has
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: great questions. I don't believe she makes it too far.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think she's around that long, mostly
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: because her desire to get to know Clayton so much
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: ends up being uh building a gap between them because
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: he's more interested in the girls he's kissing. From the
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: previews that we've seen, Okay, okay. Fun facts include she
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: knows how to identify baby pine trees as being male
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: or female. We did not talk about this in her life,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: nor did we talk about her Twilight obsession as a teen.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: We got a bond over that, and petting a wombat
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: is at the top of Jill's bucket list. Who is
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: it all? Right? Next up we have Kate. Kate is
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: from Lake Hollywood, California, another l A girl, thirty two,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: real estate agent. You know Kate. Kate took a good
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: picture here. I will say this, this seems to be
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: this is a realtor picture. She knows how to take
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: her head shot. As I was gonna say, this is
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: a realtory picture. She knows how to do it. This
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: looks like something is going to come her Instagram profile
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: here in about two months. Ah. I am interested to
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: see what she does during the season because from this
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: picture you would say, oh, she's gonna be around a while,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: mostly because of the confidence in her smile, in her eyes. However,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: I think she causes some drama. I think she's feisty.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: I think she's got a little edge to her that
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: doesn't come out in this photo. I'm only going to
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: be reading one fun fact because it's the only one
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: that matters. Kate once went dramatic pause on a date
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: with Wait, why did you pause at the beginning of that,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Why don't you just go case Kate wants to went
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: on a date and then pause because I want to
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: pause multiple times to really build it up. Okay, Kate
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: once went on a date with Harry Styles? No way,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, what do you believe more she wanted to
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: date with Harry Styles, or that the girl speaks twelve
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: different languages. I believe she went on a date with
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Harry Styles. But like that means that, like she he
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: got asked out by Harry Styles. Like it wasn't like
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: they flirted at a party. She went on a date
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: with him, And this is like so odd. Normally things
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: like this you keep to yourself, and like you cherish
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: those things, right, you make it. You're like, Wow, that
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: was the coolest thing in the entire world. I'm actually
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: not even I'm not even going to tell the world
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: because that would make me less cool, right, That's what
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: I think. But she says if you ask her for details,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: she'll tell you all about it. So um, producers, please
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: book Kate as the first person we get from the show.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Here's my here's my theory. She's beautiful. I'm not saying
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: she couldn't be asked out by Harry Styles. She wanted
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: in some charity auction. It was like one of those
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: type of dates. H that would be a twist and
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: that would give her the window to like talk about
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: it without being like something that she's being too showy about.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: And I'm going to go ahead and guests. She's thirty two,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Harry Is. I think this probably happened when they were younger.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: I think this is probably a one direction type of date.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: But we'll see. We'll see, because we're going to talk
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: to her one day. Next up, we have Kira. Kira
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: is from Philly. She's thirty two, and she is a physician. Yeah,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: she got her bachelor's degree from Harvard, her m b
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: a from Penn, and then her medical degree from you
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: UNC Chapel Hill. I mean, where are they finding these girls?
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: I mean this is impressive stuff. This is this is
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: a resume and a half. Can we just say that, like,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: girls definitely want to be on this show more than
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: guys want to be I feel like the guys, they're like,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: there's so many guys are just like throwaway man right
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: now here on the on the Bachelor, on the Bachelor,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: there are so many women who are just like so
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: impressive that want to be on this show. It's just
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: like a fight to get on the show. But guys,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: I feel like they need to. The producers are a
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: begging for him. I mean, so far, every single picture
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: we've seen and every single bio we've read makes me go,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: this will be a great partner for somebody. Traditionally, as
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: we read the bios and the Bachelor, at half of
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: them like there's no way, like these guys aren't ready,
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Like come on now, they're just this joke. These I mean,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: these are great. These are are some great women. I'm
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: very impressed with this season. I mean, if anything, I'm
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: gonna be intrigued just by watching these women function. Well,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: if I know anything about Philly, Philly has got some grit.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Philly's tough. Uh, Philly is outspoken. They know how to communicate,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: and they know how to walk through life and and
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: not this is gonna come off bad, but I don't
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: mean to get what they want, Like they go after
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: the things they desire, and I believe She's has that
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: in her. She's gonna go after things she's desires. She's
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: not gonna anybody step in her way. She's gonna shine
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: because she's sweet, but she's not gonna stop going after
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Clayton if she ends up being into Clayton. And I
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: think she's gonna be I think she's gonna be into
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: who he is as a man. All right, Well, she
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: wants a man to look at her the way that
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: she looks at French fries and nachos. So I like her.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: She has two cats, and she taught herself to write
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: hieroglyphics as a child. Of course she did. Next up,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: we have a Lindsay d She's twenty seven from Jacksonville, Florida,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: and she's a neo natal nurse. She's also a former
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: pageant queen. Because the way she's holding her hand here
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: makes me think she's taking a picture once or twice.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: At what point did they say, hey, just take your
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: hand and lightly put it under your chin. Be natural.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: You know that's what they always say to her, Be natural.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: And she goes, okay, let me just take my hand
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: and just lightly touch my God, did you read the
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: bio down yet? It says this beauty queen one America
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: at the age of seventeen. Oh, I knew it. There's
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: there's only one. There's only one type of person that
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: just lightly puts their hand underneath their chin and supports
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: their neck in such a you know, delicate way. And
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: that's a that's a beauty queen. That is so funny.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: She has a daughter, She loves taco about, she loves
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Hallmark Christmas movies and taking naps and hammocks. Next step
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: we have at Lindsay W. She's from Houston, Texas. She's
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: eight and she's an industrials industrial sales rap. Oh boy,
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: where is she from? Texas? Houston? You know, I'm getting
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: distracted by the shirt quite frankly here. Um, very like it,
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: very strange. It looks like a pucker top from two thousand,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: but it might be fashion. I don't know. I'm I'm
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: always behind the times on these, but I I would
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: say that she is not going to be around a while.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Not because she's not beautiful, not because she's not sweet, um,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: but because she's too quiet. She's a really quiet human. Um.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: She doesn't know how to take charge in the big
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: group conversations and it's all she kind of gets left behind.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: That would be my just from seeing this picture and
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: seeing the top. Um, I think she's just a shy,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: a shy girl and that's okay, just doesn't work on
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: this show. Well that makes sense because she says she's
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: more of a baby spice and a sporty spice. She
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: can't sleep without him. I think that means that she's
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: a little bit more like, you know, innocent and girly, uh,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: very feminine than a you know, than the sporty spice.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: And then she can't sleep without a white noise machine.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: And interpreted as you may, we could have fun with it,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: she says she doesn't do clowns. Actually, I like her
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: a lot. I hope she's around a while because I
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: don't sleep without a white noise machine. I have one
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: on my phone. I just convinced my parents when I
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: was in Florida to put one on themselves because their
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: cat likes to wake up in the middle of the night.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: And also, as you know, we went to this place
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: and Captiva, Florida. Many people listening will have been there.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: It's called the Bubble Room. The bubble Room is full
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: of old toys and clowns. We walked in to get
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: a piece of cake and I had to walk out
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: because of just the amount of uncomfortableness I feel. I
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: and interpret this however you may. I don't do clowns either.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Neither do I. Uh. Next step, we have Mara, and
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: she's from Collingswood, New Jersey. She's thirty two. She's an entrepreneur.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: I like how many girls we have in their early thirties.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: It's gonna it's It's nice. Yeah, it really is. I
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: mean so far feeling like a flashback season, like you know,
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: five to eight years ago. Goodness, totally, like everyone is
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: twenty six to thirty three, which I think is the
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: perfect ade ranch for the cast of The Bachelor. Um,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: we have not seen a lot of twenty two three,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: and we've seen so many over the past five years.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: I would agree this is this is good so far.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: I like where we're going and and I like where
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: this is trending because I think many people were wanting
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: this to come back, but she she knows what she wants.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: It's gonna come off a little hostile during this season.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: Being from New Jersey. Uh, you know, you're outspoken, communicate
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: openly with your words, and you need some pushback at times.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: You need people to converse with you. And but it's
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: gonna come off a little hostile. It's gonna rub people
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: the wrong way in these group settings. I think she's
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: going to be a storyline. I just don't believe it's
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: going to be a storyline past week four. You know,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: they put New Jersey as my hometown because I was
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: convinced that they wanted me to have the Jersey girl rap.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: Just side note. She was born in Puerto Rico. Her
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: family migrated to the U S when she was young,
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: and she's been spicing up the lives of everyone around
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: her since she loves to salsa dans. Snoring is a
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: deal breaker for her and as a Puerto Rican. Interesting,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: she doesn't eat spicy food. Interesting a lot going on there. Well,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: like I said, she's spicy. Spicy isn't always good in
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: group settings. Marlena is next. She's from Virginia Beach. She's thirty,
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: and she a former Olympian. Competed for Haiti at the
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: two thousand and twelve Summer Olympics in track and field.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: Oh man, I hope there's not like one of those
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: like high school running races. I mean, I would just
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: be that's tough race against olympian. That's like, you know,
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: come on now, um, she's she's a sweetheart. She's been competitive,
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: she's a leader. She's a leader in the house. She
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: is openly joy Phil has a great laugh to her.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: I think she's around a while. I don't think she's
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: a final four um, but I do think that the
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: girls in the house really like her, and I think
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: that's going to be sad to see her go. Her
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: fun facts beyond being an Olympian include that she had
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: a blonde mohawk in high school. Um, there was no
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: one in the world that can can convince her to
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: go bungee jumping. I wonder if the producers used this
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: and see if Clayton could be that one and that
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: will go bungee jumping with her. And she prefers to
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: travel so low and this visit over over fifteen countries
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: on her own terrible mistake by her rookie rookie rookie mistakes, mistake,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: talk about your fears like that, Yeah, Marlena, come on,
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: you're better than that. You've prepped for the Olympics, you
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: can prep for the Bachelor. And you go and they say, hey,
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: what's your biggest fear? And I'm like, you know, eating
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: a mouse or something crazy like that, like something that
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: you know they're never gonna make you do. You don't
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: say what you're actually scared of, because you know exactly
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: what you're gonna be doing during the season. It's hilarious.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: Molina is up next. She's from West Hollywood, California. She's
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: seven and is a personal trainer, our very first personal
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: trainer this season, which is a surprise. We usually get
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: quite a few personal trainers that jump on board here.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: We might get a few more coming up. I don't know.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: I haven't read through, but um, I want to say
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: she's a Final four I do. I just I think
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: she's interesting. I think she's intriguing, I think she's beautiful,
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: and so I just see her being somebody that captivates
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: Clayton's heart, one of the three women that captivate Clayton's
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: heart this season. Okay, um, something about her bio is
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: popping out at me. It must be talked about. She
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: eats exclusively from the hot bar at Air One. Air One,
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you know, is the most expensive
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: grocery store I've ever been to in my life. You
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: can get five items from Marijuan and it will be
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: sixty So where is she where? She must be a
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: very successful personal trainer because you've never you've you've never
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: seen the prices like this at a grocery store. This
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: makes me a little curious to her standards. It also
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: makes me concern for her during this season because the
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: quality of food, the the pizza pockets and the ham
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: sandwiches that are thrown in the in the fridge are
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: not exactly I've never been to air one air one material.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming, well, at least at the at the house,
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: you can cook for yourself. This girl is going to
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: have a serious issue if she starts traveling and eats
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: the buffet food from traveling. I like the buffet food
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: from traveling. Good thing. She's also not going to one
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: of the locations to film because when we shot and
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: Ben and I can talk about this now, when you
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: the places that they've been staying at, these resorts like
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: the one that I was at a Palm Springs and
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: then and then the other one um in Mimic, the
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: food was horrends. Guys, Like, everyone talked about it. I
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: have a friend who's a producer who said that, like
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: she ended up just basically living off lace because she
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: couldn't eat the food anymore. Yeah, you'd have a hard
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: time when you travel because it's not like the buffets
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: are fine. The buffets when you're like a cast member
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: and you're going to like a hotel for the week
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: and another hotel for another week, those are good. Yeah,
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: but yeah, the the delivery food, the five choices that
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: you get every day for like four months are really
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: start to wear on you. Oh okay, Well anyway, besides that,
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: she when she dies, she wants to be buried in
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: cranberry sauce and stuffing, not not bad food choices. She
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: also loves being tucked in, which confession time, I like
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: being tucked into. Does Jared tuck you in? Um, it's
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: like what I'm feeling extra vulnerable, Like I like being
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: tucked in if I'm going to bed before Jared. And
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: then um, like it's only been a pregnancy thing. And
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: then like I like you, my mom talks me and
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: like basically she comes and says good night to me
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: in my room. Is that? Is this the weirdest thing?
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: It's not the weirdest You've always you know, it's not weird.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, no, it's not that weird. I'd say
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: it's different, it's unique. But I can see where you
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: would like it. It's not being tucked in like actually
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: physically with the comforter. It's like you're just coming to
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: say good night to me while I'm in bed. Yeah, okay. Um.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: Rachel is next and she's from Clairemont, Florida. She's twenty five.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: She's a flight instructor whoa okay, well, she likes to
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: take risks. She is going to push the envelope this
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: season for Clayton. She's gonna be the one encouraging him
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: to jump off the side of a cliff to fly
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: a plane to I don't know, the skydive whatever they're
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: gonna do. I think she's around a while because she's
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: such a change a pace for Clayton this season. I
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: do think she is the one that he'll say when
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: he goes to hometowns. She's been the one to push
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: me on my comfort zone, not only with conversation but
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: with life activities. Okay, she could live off flaming hot cheetos.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: And she can't wait to read Harry Potter to her
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: kids one day. And that's really cute. That's really cute.

• 40:28

• 40:31
  Speaker 1: Look um, Ben, what's was your theory? Huge personality, like
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: just so loud, so outspoken. She's not mean spirited, so
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be fine. But like she is,
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: she is acent Texas. And I know we've geographically stereotyped mostly,
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: but there is something be said about somebody from Texas.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: You know they're from Texas because they'll tell you they're
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: from Texas. And she's gonna tell you she's from Texas.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: She hates doing laundry. It. Actually, I know that we're
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: going like a little off the beaten path right now.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: We keep having these sad conversations. But I don't understand
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: why laundry is such a big deal. Laundry is probably
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: my favorite chore. H No, you have anything to say
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: about that. I like, I'm a weirdo. I like cleaning bathrooms.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: There's something satisfying to me to disinfect, to sterilize, to sweep,
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: to wash down a bathroom because it's such a sacred place.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: It's a sacred place. Okay. She also is very competitive

• 45:04
  Speaker 1: younger girls three from New York, a wealth management advisor.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: Can you really be a wealth management advisor at Oh yeah,

• 45:26
  Speaker 1: it's too stressful. You got to manage everybody's wealth. Anyways.
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: Good for her, she's smart. My my question for you,
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: Actuley is how do they choose to do the close ups?
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: Like she has a very close up picture. I mean,
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: if she had anything in her teeth, if she had
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: any plaque, any anything whatsoever. It's showing up in this
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: picture where the other girls, you know, kind of a
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: little distance. Um, they said, hey, you know you're pretty enough,
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: let's just stick your face over the whole photo, like
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: as close as we can possibly make it. Um. You know,
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: with her, she is she's driven. We can tell that
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: by her occupation. We can tell that by her age
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: and occupation. She's driven. And she's gonna drive and strive
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: hard during this season. I think she's a part of
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: the drama, though I do I see it. I think
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: somebody like she's gonna get a couple of arguments, she's
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: gonna get feisty and uh and it's it's not gonna
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: go bad for her. She's not gonna be a villain,
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: but she's definitely gonna get mixed up once or twice
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: because she's outspoken. Feel that Sarah gets frustrated by slow walkers,
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: as do I feel your girl, and she thinks that
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: Wonder Woman is a badass. I mean, is that really
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: an opinion or is that more of like a fact?
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: Next up, we have Serene. She's twenty six from Oklahoma City.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: She is a elementary school teacher. Okay, she's definitely my
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: top four. She is. Um, she's gonna like be a
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: fan favorite by far this season. In fact, I think
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: she's gonna be up there for the next batchelor at.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: I say that because she's an elementary school teacher. We've
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: seen how that's played out during a season at Bachelor.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: It goes really well. Um, they know how to manage
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: a big room, they know how to have individual conversations,
• 47:19

• 47:35
  Speaker 1: gonna be her. She's gonna be a best seller. She's
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: gonna make people fall in love with her because she's
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: just that great. I really like her fun facts because
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: she loves theater. But only if it's musical theater. Yes,
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: get it. I mean I enjoy theater, but it's all

  Speaker 1: Whitney Bischoff. She's twenty nine. She's from Sycamore, Ohio. She's
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: a recruiter. She looks like an A list celebrity. That's
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: what I think when I look at this picture. She
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: looks like an A list celebrity. Um, she looks like
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: she should have been born in nineteen fifty and been
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: like a cover model. Um do you see that? Look
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: like she just has that look to her. She's she
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: catches Clayton's eye. Um. She's definitely up there for me
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: on first impression roses, because she is going to make
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: a great first impression. I think she's around a long time.
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: I think she's great. In fact, i'd probably put her
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: up there if for somebody could be the next Bachelor
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: at but um, yeah, I think from this photo in general,
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: she's pretty well rounded and she's beautiful. Well, she loves
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: Christmas so much that she keeps her tree up all
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: year round. Yeah, that's like really Christmas or lazy because
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: I'm in the process of taking down archree right now,
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: and it would be a lot nicer if we just
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: keep it up for New Year's Eve. No, I'm taking
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: down an ornaments, but I'm gonna leave up to Christmas
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: lights and Christmas tree. I was just doing it before
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: the podcast. I like to keep it up, probably into
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: like midway through that first week of January. Anyway. It
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: is always depressing and we never want to do it,
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: but I think it's something that should be done because
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: then you don't appreciate it come Christmas time, you know,
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: and like you need to have the feel. Yeah. Then,
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: and another another fun fact is um that she's not
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: interested in dating a man who performs magic. Wow, way
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: to be selective. It's like she doesn't like it and
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: guys pull out like a deck of cards and start
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: doing a trick. She's not interested in Chris Angel people. Yeah,

• 50:35
  Speaker 1: incredible question answer ask her. She's a great listener. Uh,
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: but she's also not afraid to share her opinion. I
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: get good vibes from her other than one thing. On
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: her picture. She didn't untuck her collar, so the details,
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: the details for her aren't there. She misses the details. Oh,

• 55:37
  Speaker 1: doesn't read the bios when he comes up with his theories,
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: and in this case this Tessa is such a romantic
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: that she's often accused of being cinematic, and she says
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: when asked about how she feels about love, she says, quote,
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: there's definitely a moment to be extra in romance. Is

  Speaker 1: see them exploit it. She has a weird fear of
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: red fruits that includes apples, grapes, and raisins. Oh yeah,

• 56:50
  Speaker 1: all the girls for Clayton season of The Bachelor. None
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: of the stories I made up are probably true. They're
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: all all probably very far off, but I am pressed.
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: My first reaction is, Hey, there's some beautiful women here
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: with some incredible backgrounds who look like they're ready to
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: fall in love, and I'm excited to watch their journey
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: unfold during this season of the Bachelor. Well, Ashley, let's
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: take a break here. When we come back, we're gonna
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: talk to you. Yes, you about Bachelor headlines. You're the
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: best at it. We'll be back with almost from his podcast,
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: It's time for Bachelor Nation headlines. Ashley Liken Eddie is here,
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: uh to break them all down with us. There's a
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: big headline one that a lot of people got excited about.
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: I kind of got excited about it, quite honestly, because
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: I like them both as people a lot. I know
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: them both as humans and I'm excited to read this one.
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: Why Bachelor Nation is buzzing over Michael A's outing with
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: Amanda Clutes This according to E Yeah, okay, so we
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: know that she is widowed and he is a widower,
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: and they was they've been apparently talking for a while
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: now and they finally met up. They got dinner in
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: their home state of Ohio, and they posted a picture
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: about it just this week, says and then this is
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: what Amanda said, said, guess, um, guess who I'm out
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: on the town with. And then she took a picture
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: at this tavern with Michael, and she she shared the
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: picture and said, um, finally meeting this guy in person
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: after being Instagram friends with him for a year. Lots
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: of fried food, drinks, great chats and laughs. Um. Michael
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: ended up saying just two kids from Akron, Ohio. Um.
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: So then all the fans started like shipping this, you know,
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: because it's on paper, it kind of makes sense, you know. Um,
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: there are two people who understand each other on level
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: that a lot a lot of people can. UM. And
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: they say that they are so thankful that, you know,
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: they met each other and have been supports of each other. Um. Ben,
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: would you see this as a couple alert, I think
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: it is. I think it's gonna cause some some riffs
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: in batter Nation because I wasn't gonna be surprisedefs well,
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: no to risk, because I think he was going to
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: be a bachelor at some point. I think they were
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: kind of prepping him, I would imagine. And uh, and
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: but I like this couple a lot. I mean, I
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: don't even know if they are like they went on
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: a day they hung out right, but they just make
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: a lot of sense. They both have um incredible stories
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: of resilience, incredible stories of pain, uh that none of
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: us wish upon anybody, but they've made it through those
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: and they've continued to be a loving, carrying UM force
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: in this world. So it's like, oh, this makes so
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: much sense to me. In fact, when I saw the picture,
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: I was like, this just looks awesome and I want
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: it to happen, but I don't want to get too excited.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: They look very key together. And if you guys don't know, um,
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: both of them had their spouses passed away in two
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: thousand nineteen, I guess um Nick who Nick cord Cordero.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: He was the Broadway actor who passed away from COVID.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: His wife ended up being on Dancing with the Stars
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: this past season, and um, yeah, so both of them
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: have lost spouses within I guess, like like you know,
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: within the year of each other. So we'll see, um,
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: what happens with this friend ship and how it evolves.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: What's next? I want to be mad about it. Well,
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: we're gonna go down. There's only a few story this week,
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: probably because the holiday season, so everybody was feeling non
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: dramatic and just just really happy. But we do have
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: to uh congratulate a former Bachelor at contestant. You may
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: remember him from his time on Caitlin Bristow's season of
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: The Bachelorette. He was controversial, uh to say the least.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: But J J. Lane is expecting his first child with
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: his wife Kayla. His first child with his wife Kayla.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: He does have um Jemma from a previous marriage. But
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: they did announce that they are they have a baby
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: on the way for the summer of Yes, congratulations you guys.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: We are so happy for them. They posted on Instagram
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: that they won't be able to unwrap this present, you
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: know with the you know, the pointing to her belly
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: until July. Yeah, so very happy for them. They got married. Um. Wow,
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: it's been almost two years. It's been it's been a bit. Well. Hey, Nate,
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: who Michelle ended up with in the end of her season,
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: calls out Mike Johnson for questioning his intentions on The
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: Bachelor at this According to US Weekly, all right, this
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: is headline where I'm going to kind of direct you
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: guys to listen to it, because I think it's going
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: to give you more clarity on the situation than the
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: fact were to just go back and forth reading quotes
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: and trying to summarize the vibe, because there is hostility
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: here between Nate and Mike Johnson, like a lot of hostility.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: But when I read you the quotes, it may not
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: make perfect sense because I think a lot of it
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: is in tone. But here's the brief summary. Um. Mike
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: Johnson tweeted out a couple of weeks ago that he
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: was watching Nate closely, as in he didn't really like
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: him or he was very weary of him. Um. And
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: then this tweet was brought up when Nate was on
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: their podcast last week, and basically it was like, why
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: would you say something like this, like you're watching like
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: you're watching me. And then he was like, well, because
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: we all love Michelle and we want the best for Michelle,
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: and look, Michelle's parents also didn't really like seem to
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: like you on the show. And then Nate said something
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: along the lines of, but like you've been part of
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: this process, I would think that you would know that
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: lots of things don't get aired and lots of things
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: don't go the way that it seems like it goes,
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: and um, it basically just it just houstle throughout and
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: it's not as if they like made up on the
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: show like it. It kind of seems like it ends
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: with Nate being like not satisfied with Mike's response about
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: like caring about Michelle because like it is what it is.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: I think somebody in your position would understand the environment. Um,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: it seems like it's be really interesting, but it's definitely
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: not something that I like feel like I could sum
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: up properly without you just listening to it. So through
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: the story is this there's hostility between Nate and Mike
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: Johnson over Nate's intentions on the show and Mike Colon
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: before it. Yeah, so you gotta listen to get the whole.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: So basically, like he wins, and Mike's like, I don't
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: know if I if I feel like I trust you,
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: and then it's like, well, thanks, thanks, Holy moly, maybe
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: it wasn't a quiet week. Well, the final headline of
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: this week people reading into something, but Bachelorette's Tasha Adams
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: likes x fiance Zack Clark's post but spends Christmas morning
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: alone one month after calling off engagement. People think that
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: they're on decent terms now because she liked a Christmas
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: Eve post that Zach posted on Twitter. Um, people just
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: like to look into things basically, but they're no longer
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: a couple. And the picture that she liked showed him
• 1:05:09
