  Speaker 1: This is the Benn and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: with I R Radio. Who man, it feels good to
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: be back. Whoo who are we back? Oh yeah, I'm
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: got a week off. We had a week off. We
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: talked to Mike. During this week off. We had the
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: I Heart Music Festival, which Ashley, let's rate it. I'd
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: say a plus this year eight plus or A plus
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: A plus, A plus, absolutely another great year. Jessica was there,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Jared was there with you, great group of people, a
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: lot more chill than years past anymore. I think we're
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: just getting old. I mean I like it. I love
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: not going out, and as I get older, I find
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: myself more and more intimidated and shy in groups of
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: more than five. It's really bad. Like Jared and I
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: are both becoming like super introverted. I think it has
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: to do with age, and I think it has to
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: do with just being married, because if we're not like
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: at dinner with a small group of friends, we kind
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: of like shell up a bit. And you are the
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: complete opposite. You are like Mr extrovert. You thrive and
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: energize yourself off of people. You know, I'm like a
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: very strong introvert now you think you recharge in private, oh,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: ash like you Yeah, Like we don't. We always see
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: each other at events and we always see each other
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: like a podcast. One of the most interesting things I
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: think that people don't know is I am a huge introvert.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: That is something I actually didn't know about you, because
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: you do really seem to be so full of energy
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: in big groups and in front of audiences. But it's
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: exhausting for me, Like you did not know that you
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: hide it well, yeah, and I mean maybe it'll help
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: me make a little more sense. Like if you ever
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: catch me and I like a little down or a
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: little tired, or like not as sociable, it's probably because
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: it's coming off of like a big event like where
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I've been around a lot of people. It's why I've
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: only done like three meet and greets my bachelor time
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: is because not because they're they're terrible, they're not the best,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: but because they wear me out to a point where
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: I'm no longer myself. Yeah. I get that, I totally,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I totally get it. It's tough, I mean so yeah.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: But Heartfest was great this year and we had a
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: really good team there. Um, we did a great couple
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: of great podcasts. My favorite we've ever done the one
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: with Mike Johnson's up right now. It's uh, the almost
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: famous in depth podcasts. As you will know as listeners,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: we do a podcast uh probably i'd say four times
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: a year with a bachelor Bachelor contestant that has a
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: story that we really want to just tell in in length,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: and Mike definitely had that. I thought it was one
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: of the most humbling and interesting conversations we've had since
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: we started this thing. Yeah, those are the kind of
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: conversations that I think fulfill us most as hosts. And
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: I actually just ask producer Amy upstairs if we could
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: sprinkle in a good amount of those throughout this offseason him,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: because I think that they are the most captivating to
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: our audience and we get most invested in them as well. Yeah,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: should we just take us I mean I think we
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: should take a poll the audience. Great about it, listeners?
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: If you like the in depth episodes or if you
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: dislike them, no harm, no foul, please uh tweet us

• 3:29

  Speaker 1: the most. Oh good, Yeah, help us out a little bit.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: That's nice, ash good job, Um, Ashley. We've gotten off
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: of I Heart Fest. We're now in the off season.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: This off season is going to be action packed, full
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: of great people, and I'm thinking we're starting the off
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: season with some of the two biggest names in Bachelor
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: and Bachelor at History. Caitlin Bristow and Jason Tartik are
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: gonna be in studio today talking about their newest project. Yes,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I'm so excited about that. We will also have their friend,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: musician Britt Kiesel in the studio as well. Why don't
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: we talk about these Bachelor hot topics before they arrive?
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I would love to. And following that, actually, just before
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: we dive into all the juicy, juicy details of Bachelor Nation,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: when Whitney fans will be coming on to do the
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: who the heck are you? I don't know if you'll
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: need that With her, she's captivated audience since at the beginning. Um,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: but We're gonna bring her on to get to know
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Whitney a little bit better. But Ashley, what stories and
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Batchel Nation are making you go? Wow? Okay? Well, Tyler
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Cameron this past week told ET that he and Gigi
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Hadid are just good friends, which kind of mind boggled
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: a lot of us who saw him attend her grandmother's
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: funeral less than a month ago in Europe. I don't
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: know that you just bring your good friend who you
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: happen to be spotted visiting their apartment late night to
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: the grandma funeral, But um, it seems okay. Magazine is
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: reporting that Tyler and Gigi the Fling maybe officially over,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: and that there are rumors spreading that he and Christina
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Shulman have been spotted and so there might be something
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: going on between the two of them. But those might
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: be assumptions. Just because somebody spy doesn't really mean anything.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Usually it does. Yeah, I mean, it's interesting to say
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: the least, right. I mean, Christina has definitely is one
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: of the like the biggest names in the franchise. Tyler
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: obviously uh just came off the season as a rock
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: star dates. Indeed, if there if they are over, which okay,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: magazine is reporting and he is dating Christina. I wonder
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: how this. I wonder how Bachelor Nation is going to respond.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: You know, he's not the Bachelor, but he's in a
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: bachelor relationship. Do you think Batchel Nation sir, i'ms around
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: this couple and says you're one of us. Um, I'm
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: not sure, but I do think that a lot of
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: people are wondering how Tyler feels not being the Bachelor
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: now that he may no longer be with Gigi because
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: did he did he skip out on that opportunity, possibly
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: so that he could date the supermodel? Mm hmm, Well
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: questions I don't know if they ever be answered. We
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: gotta get Tyler on again to ask him. But until then,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Bachelor Nation look out for who Tyler Cameron is dating.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Now it's big news no matter who he is dating,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: because he is still beloved. Speaking of dating, I just
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: found a little more information about this Christina thing. They
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: were actually spotted at a sponsored event together and it
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: doesn't seem like a lot of Bachelor Well. There are
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: some mean comments under the post, being like no, wtf, no,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: oh my god, please no, no, this ruined my day.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: It seems like people don't like this coupling. Um. They
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: also the Okay magazine article, people are not fond of it,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: and it doesn't seem like it was an official dinner date. Okay, Well,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: we know how this stuff plays out, Ashley. You know,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: I've been around for long enough to know that once
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: a Bachelor Nation or once Bachelor Nation connects, it's sometimes
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: a lot of times leads to more. I don't know.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: We have nothing more than this, but it's not shocking
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: to think that people will get back together and connect
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: from the show. You have something in common, you have
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: a shared experience in common, you know each other, and
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: you know each other are both single and looking. It
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: makes sense that people would start dating, Ashley. Speaking of dating,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Nick Bile and Rachel Bilson have been rumored to be together.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: It has not yet been denied by Rachel or Nick.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: They have both been in interviews and asked about it.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: What do we know? I know that Rachel was at
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Nick's birthday party on Friday night here in l A.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I was there. I got to talk to her. She's
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: super sweet and definitely a Bachelor super fan. Um, and
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: that's all I really, That's all I really know. Does
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: it feel like there could be chemistry. There's I'd say
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: there's chemistry for sure. I I once, you remember listening
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: to Nick's podcast and Rachel was on, and Rachel and
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Nick definitely flirted in a way, like you know, we've
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: had guests on where we've like complimented and like danced
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: with and flirted around with, but this one was like, oh,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: there's something here. M wow, you guys. Time will tell
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: it's not going to be hidden for too long. No.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, hey, if it's a thing, it's a thing,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: and good for them for pursuing something they both want. Hey, Ashley,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: now let's get into outside the couples. Hannah be is
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: destroying Dancing with the Stars. I mean, she's crushing it
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: right now, doing a great job of dancing. People are
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: loving on her, and Colton Underwood and Cassie show up
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: to Dance with the Stars a little unexpected because Cassie
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: and Calin are really good friends. So what it makes
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: me assume is that Calin and Hannah are probably pretty
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: good and that Cassie and Hannah are good. I mean,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: is this an assumption that's fair? I think it's totally fair.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, they did put their feud to rest on
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Colton season and at the women tell all they seem
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: to be cordial, say to say the least, So I
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: think they're I think they're totally fine. I think so too.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: And and a lot of the articles that have became
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: out that have talked about, you know, Colton and Cassie
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: showing up, have been asking the question, is that weird
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: to support your ex like this and then bring your
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: current girlfriend there. You know, It's different with me back
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: when I was on the show. I think there are
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: certain girls that we would have definitely gone and supported,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: like I would have loved to support them, And then
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: there's others that I think would have made, you know,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Lauren and probably myself a little uncomfortable to go out
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: of our way to to meet with them, just based
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: on on wisdom and health, like no other reason. No,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: like there was no vengeful feelings, there is no issues.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: It's just like, hey, probably stay away. And it feels
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: like from what we know about Colton and Cassie's relationship,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: they're probably so good that they can go and visit
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: anybody from that season and be fine. I will say
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: that I think that Cassie probably watched Hannah and Colton's relationship,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: and she was like, yeah, they don't have anything together,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: so she doesn't really feel threatened by that whatsoever. Also
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: speaking about x Is, supporting x Is UM, Becca Kuprin
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: recently told e that I think everyone learns something from
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: the show, whether they had a good time or not,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: they always just learned something and take away from it,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: So that's all you can ask for um. She also
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: said that she supports him and that she wishes him
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: the best and she wants him to find love, but
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: paradise isn't always for everyone. It's been really refreshing, Ashley.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: I think we're in this new wave of Bachelor Nation
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: UM cast members where they get off the show and
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: instead of well laying out a bunch of excuses and
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: blaming it on editing and blaming it on all these things,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: all these factors, they're taking and they're saying, no, I
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: had I made a mistake. I wasn't my best self,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: and maybe I wasn't the self I wanted to be.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: But I'm getting better and I learned from it from
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: being on the show, which is really refreshing, and I
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: actually think the audience will respond better to them with
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: that mentality. Than the one of blame it on editing
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: and we all just go, come on, that's not true. Yeah,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: I agree, because usually when it comes to editing, there
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: was something wrong done anyway. And moving on the side
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: of a bastination a little bit, not really, we're gonna
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: talk about Wells Adams, who did participate in the franchise,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: is still participating in the franchise as the bartender in Paradise,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: and Sarah Highland, his fiancee, have not asked Chris Harrison
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: to officiate their wedding. Here's a question. And you just
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: recently were married, and I've thought about this before as well.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Is there a pressure on you to ask Chris? Now?
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: For me? You know, I get why you would, and
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: I'd also understand why you wouldn't. What's that balance? Um,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: It never crossed our mind to have Chris officiate. We
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: we love Chris. He's a friend. He's not a good friend,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: you know, he's a guy that's been around for a
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: lot of our story. But he's a guy that also
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: was involved in a part of our story that just
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: wasn't the most positive components of it. And we wanted
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: somebody who knew us inside and out, who spent a
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: lot of quality time with us, not somebody who we
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: just pretty much saw and sets of the occasional event
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: or dinner. We wanted somebody who was like a best
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: friend to officiate, and that's why we chose a lot
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Gail who, yeah, as part of the franchise, but also
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: knows our souls and he knows our personality so well.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: And yeah, so Chris Harrison was just never on a
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: radar for that job, especially since we got married off camera. Yeah,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: now it makes sense, And I mean, I think Chris
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: is great and he does lead the franchise, but understand
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: when it I was to officiate in your wedding, that
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: is a very personal choice. And also Sarah wasn't associated
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: really with Bachelor Nation, so it would it would feel
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: a little odd unless they were that close. So makes sense,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: no harm, no fault. I'm assuming Chris will be there,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: and if he isn't, that makes sense too, but hey,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: don't look into it too much. They've just chosen some
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: other path, hey, Ben, Before we move on, there are
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: two things I want to talk about. I want to
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: correct myself when I said that maybe Tyler regrets not
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: being the Bachelor. If he is indeed broken up with
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Giuji because he did tell Lauren Zima, Chris Harrison's girlfriend,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: last week, that he was asked to the Bachelor. Of
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: course that's no, no dub um, but his heart wasn't there.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: I wonder if his heart wasn't wasn't a dred percent
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: there because his heart was kind of with Giuji. Well,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: and see this is where maybe you and I differ, Ashley,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: and I wonder what all the listeners think. I am
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: not shocked. I am shocked that he's asked to be
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: the Bachelor. You're shocked that he was asked to be
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: the Bachelor? Yeah, And I didn't think it didn't fit
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: the mole. He came off of this thing a rock star.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Everybody loved him, knew him. He you know, he was
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: already you know, kind of back with Hannah right away,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: which hey, let him pursue what they gotta do, and
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: then he was dating Gig. It's it would have been uncommon.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: I remember when I was asked to be the Bachelor,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: they had asked me, hey, are you dating anybody between
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: the Bachelorrette and Bachelor? And I wasn't for reasons because
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: it just is is a row wind of experience. And
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I remember when Sean Low was the Bachelor, I think
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: he had had like had dated a girl maybe in
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: between for a week or something, and it became a
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: story that, like he had gone on a date after
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: the Bachelorette before he was the Bachelor, and it was
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: a big story. So I don't think it would have fit.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Like I think people would have asked, why are you
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: the bachelor and dating outside of it? And I'm not
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: certain that he would want the role. I'm pretty like
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: fifty on whether or not he would have wanted it
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: or not. But I think the part of me that
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: thinks he wouldn't have wanted it would be because honestly,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: he got too big on his own. And I'm not
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: talking about his ego, like his fame and his popularity
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: was so big that that doesn't even need the Bachelor,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: does he? He can make his career moves and find
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: love just fine without the Bachelor. Do you think there
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: is such thing as becoming so popular on your season
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: that you actually become too big to be the Bachelor
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: or to strive for it? Definitely, because here's the difference
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: ash Like and and Tyler couldn't help himself right, He's
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: a good looking dude, he's charismatic. People loved him became
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: he became a start without even attempting to be it.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: But there is this element where when you become the Bachelor,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: there's a fine line between the fame and doing it
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: for the fame. But the theme is gonna come like,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: people are gonna know you, recognize you, support you. But
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: if you come into almost already famous, it's gonna sometimes
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: come off as you're doing it to get famous. And
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: I think Tyler would have been way bigger than the show.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: And this is where it gets to be a problem.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: They need people who won't be bigger than the show
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: to be the leads, don't they also need somebody with
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: a sense of relatability. Definitely, Yeah, And I mean I
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: look at Tyler's pictures. The guy puts a sweater on
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: and like khakis and he looks at a camera and
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: I'm like, gosh, dang like and he bites his lip
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: and it looks good. I'm not kidding you. Actually, I
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: was with Jessica and he's posted his picture on on
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Instagram of him standing up on a wall with a
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: sweater on and khakis. He bites his lip and looks
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: at the camera and I'm like, this is hilarious. I
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: was like, Jessica, try this, so I tried to do
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: the same. Look. It's I should post it. It's embarrassing you.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: It's embarrassing, it is I look, I look. I don't
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: even know what to say, like, it's just you look
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: at it and it feels awkward, like it just makes
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: you feel a certain way inside. And this guy does
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: it day after day after day. Yeah, I know, Mina,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: you know to tell me about it, ben um I.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: We want to talk about Hannah and her Dancing with
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: the Stars partner Alan Bernstein. I was reading some comments
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: on the almost Famous Face Spook group today and there
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: are a lot of people shipping this couple and a
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: lot of people saying that they sense more chemistry between
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: her and Alan than they ever did with anyone on
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: her season. So we could possibly have a love match there.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: I'm just you know, I'm not trying to start rumors
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: or anything. I think the rumors are already in existence.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: I think rumors are always in existence with two people
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: on Dancing with the Stars who are partners and they're
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: both single, and maybe I'm not really sure if Alan
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: is single, but based on into stories, I feel like
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: he is. That's what I was gonna say. I mean,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: wasn't the same rumor for him last season with his partner,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: I forget his partners? Yeah, And I mean here's the thing,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: and this is why. And I've heard this from past
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: uh Dance with the Stars contestants doing Dancing with the
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Stars is somewhat dangerous for a relationship, even if you
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: trust partner, even if you're madly in love, you're dancing
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: for nine hours a day, you're you know, it's it's
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: a very intimate experience. Like and it makes sense on
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: why you would connect on a whole different level with
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: your partner, because you have to. Like good dancing partners,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: even if there's not a romantic chemistry, they'll tell you
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: that there's a chemistry that is undeniable. Like you can
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: see it in the way they move, the way they operate,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: the way they touch each other and look at each other.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: It it just happens. And so two single people dancing
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: against each other, Hey, hey, I've been in college once, Like,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: you get attracted the person I know you do, like
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: sometimes so much physical touch and like intimate physical touch
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: to you know, like they're like Pelvis is are like together.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know how I would be. I would not
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: be okay with Jared doing it. Would you be okay
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: with just doing something like that so rigorously so many
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: times a week? You know, here's the difference. And I
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: think you would actually say this about Jared as well,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Like I can like just has like no desire to
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: look at anybody else like she That's one of the
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: best things about her. And it's I know that about
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Jared also, But it would be hard for me to
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: watch her so close. You know, nothing would happen, but
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: it'd be super weird to like send any sort of
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: like even like friendship chemistry that was so touchy mm
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: hmm m. But and Alan is single, by the way,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: is he Well, hey, who knows. I mean, I'll ship it,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: I'll ship relationships. I'm just gonna think I'm gonna relationship
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: type of mood. Like you want to date you, date you,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: if you want to date her, date her, if you
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: want to date him, date him, Like, let's just start
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: dating again. It feels like we haven't dated in a while. Yeah,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: And before we go to break and get Jason and
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Caitlin in studio. I just want to remind everyone that
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: we are going to be doing Almost Famous Live on
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: January eleventh in San Francisco at the Palace of the
• 19:52

• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Third Love is the greatest bra I've ever worn, and
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: I don't have to go to the mall and have
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: awkward questions about my breast size or like what occasion
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: I was shopping for underwear for, and it just fits.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: It's amazing. Third Love uses data points generated by millions
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: of women who have taken their fit Finder quiz to
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: design bras with breast size and shape in mind for
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: the perfect fit in a premium feel. Third Love offers
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: more than eighties sizes, including their signature half cup size,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: and that's so important. I realized that I was a
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: half cup size. I feel like, if shoes come in
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: half sizes, bras really should come in half sizes. Every
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: customer has sixty days where it wash it, put it
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: to the test, and if you don't love it, you
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: can just return it and Third Love is going to
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: wash it and donate it to a woman in need.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: And like I've said week after week, donating bras is
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: actually far more challenging than you think it is. You
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: can't just give it to goodwill. They won't accept them.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: But Third Love finds a woman who will use it
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: and love it. And they also have fits stylists that
• 21:22

  Speaker 1: they're here with us now we're talking. It started with
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: us talking about NFL football and Jason losing his mind
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: when the Bills are playing in its move now into
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Caitlin's luck on the Black Jack Cable Brett. You're saying
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Caitlin doesn't follow the rules. Surprising to everybody that Caitlin
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: doesn't follow the rule. Yeah, you would have thought that
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: she'd be on the straight and narrow and one would
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: follow every rule and never push the envelope. I'm Canadian.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Caitlin Bristol here. So we're playing in at
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Seru LAMR. This a missing resort that isn't open yet.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: But set this up a little bit, you guys. Okay,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: So you guys, we are here, Okay, Okay, Caitlin Burstow
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: and they're here in support and promotion of the new
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: music video that you guys did together. It's called Drink
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: About Me. You filmed the music video in the Bahamas
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: where you played this black jack. That's right. Wait, way
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: to be professional, both of you guys. I have to
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: say it was one of the greatest adventures that I've
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: ever had in my life, was hanging out with you
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: guys and being in the Caribbean. And the best part
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: wasn't what we filmed on you know, on the camera,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: but I believe it was all the behind the scenes
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: kind of bs that we got up to that was
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: a pile of funds. So we're playing cards on the
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: final night at this little bar at the place, and
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: I loved everything about it, and so we're playing cards.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: The best he's looking he's looking out another another special guest.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: He's looking out the window. He's looking at other dogs
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: that he probably doesn't like. It's like, I can take you,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: I can take you. So we were playing cards, and
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, this rom's got more Instagram followers and pretty
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: much most of my friend base. But Caitlin never follows
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: the rule. She's at seventeen and she's hitting no, no, no, no,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm the dealer, and I'm at a five showing
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: so you know, book says I've got probably fifteen, you're
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: at seventeen. Just let me lose whatever. And she hits
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: again and gets a four twenty one. Why did you
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: do that? Yet? She's winning, she's winning, she's winning, she's
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: winning same things. She's got like a ten and an eight.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: But I'm showing an ace. Okay, well you stayed eighteen.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: You just stayed eighteen. Cut your losses. I've got an ace.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: I asked for insurance just to be a cordial guy,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: but it never happened. So you think I've got blackjack,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: and she hits and gets a three one? Why do
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: you hit on an eighteen? And she did it, and
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: she took a hundred dollars out of my pocket and
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it. And you took a hundred bucks
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: from me. She's a savage though, Like We'll start off
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: bet in a buck, two bucks, three bucks, and then
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Caitlin, double down, double down, double down.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: So here we are still betting a buck or to
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Caitlin's like hundred bucks, let's go get I just trust
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: my intuition, so I mean, Caitlin, this brings up the
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: very first question for you. I want to hear from
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: you and Jason. Kaitlin. You don't follow the rules. That's
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: not like a surprise, and it seems to always work
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: out for you. How I feel like I feel like
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: I'm a risk taker, and I mean I have things
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: have not worked out for me. But when you take
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: risks more things work out for you. Because unless people
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: are doing it, it's it's it's math, is it science,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: It's yeah, it's I feel like I just take chances
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: and I don't look back, and I feel like that
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: works out for people more often than you would think.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: A chance that you guys took. It was going from
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: friends two lovers to um. You recommend people being friends
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: before they jump into a relationship if you have the opportunity. Yes,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: I do recommend that. Yeah. I mean, so I didn't
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: like you and I hit it off from the get go,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: but she put me in the friend zone for a while,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: so I had to break out of that. So but
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: I think at the end of the day, like we
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: were just with a couple that had been married for
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: nine years. We said, what's the secret? In his responses
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: like we go through hell, we go through good times,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: great times, but at the end of the day, we're
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: just best friends. So I think, like, if that's your foundation,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, you'll make it through anything. But well, Cecilia,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: I've been married eight years. Um. I asked her to
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: marry me when I was nineteen years old. So but
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: the same thing with with friends, I think the biggest
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: thing is that in general, I would say, it's really
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: great that we built a friendship because we were just
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: friends and I don't even know when we started dating.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: We crossed over from friends to really great friends, to
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: friends with benefits to dating to engage. We're just friends
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: friends friends friends friends, and friends engaged. So that's kind
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: of that. Yeah, we only dated for like three and
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: a half months, maybe not even. And so the biggest
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: thing is you can't take society's opinion into this thing
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: and be like, oh, we only dated for three months,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Like how can you really be engaged if you knew
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: everything about it? Because you've got that great foundation of
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: a friendship, then that's amazing. But at the same time,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: anybody listening right now and maybe is thinking, no, I
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: can just go straight into relationship. But I'm listening, and
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: everybody's telling us that we need a friendship first. I
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: think it's important to say no, you do what's best
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: for the two of you in every crossroads that you meet,
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: and that's where it brings in. You just kind of
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: just bet, you know, marching to the beat of your
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: own drum. You know, that's the same thing with us.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: We just did our own thing, and oh my god,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: did we ever get flak? And did I ever get flak?
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Asking Cecilia to marry me at nineteen years old? I
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: would say nine five And that's a huge percentage of
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: people said, you are making a mistake. This is both
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: what you're doing is wrong, don't do it, and I'm
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: so glad I did. You guys have the sweetest kids.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: I'm obsessed with them. I thank you for saying that,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: but I do agree with kids they are. Do you
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: think there's anything to it? I want to hear from
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: all of you here. We can obviously learn from you, Brett,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: but there's something to having a friend as a partner.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking of you guys talk. I feel like I'm
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: easier on my friends than I am in my romantic relationships.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: So like my friends can cause havoc, make a scene,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: get angry at me, etcetera. And we're gonna work through
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: it pretty quickly, like we're either going to talk about
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: it right away or we're gonna have a beer and
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: figure it out. With in romantic relationships up until really
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: just is when when they would hurt me, or maybe
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: would have an argument, or maybe we just disagreed. I
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: felt like I was harder on that person, and there
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: was all of a sudden in the back of my mind,
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Oh maybe this isn't right. But if you have the friendship, Bill,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: I'm wondering if there's something to be said about the
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: fact that you're just gonna be easier on that person
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: and you're gonna learn to like them as a friend,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: and then you know, you get the benefits of loving
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: them as well. That's a really interesting point. That is
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: a great point. Wait wait, wait, I mean good for
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: you to be reflective in that way and kind of see,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe what you've done done well and maybe
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: what you haven't done well moving forward and take that
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: to your relationship. I don't know who wants to start
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: on this thing, but I think that's a great question.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Well I do too. But it's interesting because I feel
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: like I am just so hard on all the closest people.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: I like it He's trying to talk, makes it very
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: authentic and raw. Like it's like to me, I'm Jason
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: will agree with me on this. Is that I I'm
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: just saying, I'm so good with my friends, I'm so understanding.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: I'll get through anything. I'll like v level headed about it.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: But with relationships, and we did start off as friends,
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: I'm so hard on him, and I'm hard on my sister,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: and I'm hard on my mom. I'm not hard of
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: my dad because he's a freaking angel. But like I'm
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: just like I feel like I'm I'm actually so hard
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: on people that I'm the closest with, like family more
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: than anything. And so I don't know, I don't know.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: That's a great theory that you have, but I don't
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: know if that works for me. I think, I don't know,
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: this is kind of a little bit off, But I
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: feel like I'm most honest, even if it can be
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: sort of hurt critical. Yeah. Yeah, I'm just being like
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: super honest because like if that bugs me, I'm just
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: gonna tell you. But Jared actually prefer me not tell
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: them sometimes. Yeah, do you want to know everything that
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: bugs you? So I think not everything right, because I
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: think you gotta like you gotta, I gotta pick and
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: choose you, Like I've learned that relationship, you have to
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: pick and cheer your battles because if you bicker about everything,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: it's going to be a nightmare. That being said, in
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: my opinion, like open communication is so key, but you
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: have to like set a standard what I say to
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: myself all the time. Am I saying this for ego?
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Or am I saying this for an actual like value
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: add to our relationship? How many times do you do
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: something for ego, and you say a condescending and negatively
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: because you're trying to be stern and and make your point.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: And what I'm like really working on is like when
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: I have an argument, it's that we can walk out
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: of that argument better than when we went in. And
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: let me tell you that is that's why not always
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: been like I've done the exact opposite, but it ends
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: up getting you nowhere. Like when you're stubborn, brash and
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: you're doing things strictly for ego, the result of it
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: is almost as I I think that every relationship is different,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: and honestly, the man you maybe start to compare certain
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: things is the minute that you lose and that relationship
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: because every human being is different. But with that being said,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: starting with a friendship and having an amazing friendship as
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: a foundation is a very very important thing because at
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, I mean, once you cross
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: over to what would be friends with benefits, and when
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: you're young and you're you're in love and you're very
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: very passionate about each other and sex plays a big
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: part of that, and you're you're you're doing it because
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: it's fun and it's amazing, and you're doing it for kids,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: and then as you get older and maybe that part,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: you know, leaves. Do you have a friendship? And I
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: think to myself that although I would love to get
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: down with Cecilia every day of my life until the
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: day that I die, literally, I understand that may be
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: as I get older. It's a friendship. It's traveling, it's dinners,
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: it's having things in common. That's going to be very,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: very important. And what I've had to learn based on
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: what Jason was saying is the honesty component. Based on
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: what you brought up, Ashley, that is such an interesting
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: thing that Cecilia is extremely honest. She is brutally honest,
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: but she says that from the get go. Yeah. Yeah,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: So if you look at game theory like what is
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: so if you're going to overcommunicate, the other theory is
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: you under communicate. So in my opinion, if those are
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: your two options, definitely overcome. Undercommunicating creates like all different
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: barriers and issues. So you you tell them how it is. Girl.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: You guys just got moved in Toget that it's been
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: three months since early Yeah, how has that experience been?
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: It's hard. It's hard. I mean, well, actually for Jared,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: and I wasn't hard And I don't really know why,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: but I feel he was like kind of here in
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: l A for some time. He was here for like
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: nine months before we moved in, and you guys like Jason,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: you moved from Washington stay into a whole other place.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: So how was that mix it? To me? It was
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: it was there's issue, not issues, but there was like
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: things to get through, but they weren't anything that I
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: was concerned about. Like he's cleaner than I am, which
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: is amazing, but it was I'm so set on how
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, I've lived there for three years and from
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: the get go I was I decorated the place. I
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: was like very specific on what I wanted and how
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: I wanted it, and it was just like a passion
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: project of me to to make this house my home.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: And so it's very much my style. It's definitely not
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Jason style. Were going through the same thing and I
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: but but I was like, I found it a little
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: bit challenging when he came in because one, he's so
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: respectful and like so great about it that that helped,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: but too I was like, no, you can't move that.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: That's where I have thinks you can't. Like the nightstand
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: on his side, I had like crystals and like all
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: these a girly stuff set up in this little pink
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: thing that said goals on it. And he was like
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: nerpe and he put everything in the door, and I'm
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: like no, no, no, no no no. But this, I
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: think this is like a huge thing. That's a generalization,
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: but in general, I think people are getting married later
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: and as a result of that, I think that's usually
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: career driven, right, so people are very like independent that
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: if male, female, whatever you are, everyone is so focused
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: on pursuing their career and everyone's just kicking ass. Right.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: Then you you have your own place, You create your
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: own clas because of that, and you make it your
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: own and exactly it's so personal to you personal, and
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: I think we all figure out that you're so independent,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: and then you've got to bring the powers together. And
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: Ben and Jess are probably gonna go through that soon,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: and you and Jared went through that, and you learn
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: so much about each other because we were so independent,
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: so careered of it, and now you're under one house.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: So if I had to when someone asked me that question,
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: I think the first month it was tough I think
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: it was really tough because you're trying to align your
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: idiosyncrasies in a world that's not very conventional, and also
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: a work schedule that's not like an eight to five.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: So the first month was really tough, but I think
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: we learned a lot about each other. And nowroom so
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: exactly my sister and so Jaryd moved into my sister
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: in my place, and we wanted to make it like
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: very Kardashian glam and then he moves in two months
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: after it's decorated, and he didn't make it a big deal.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: But then once she moved out and we got married,
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: it was like, Okay, we're gonna make this place our
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: home now. So we changed the color scheme. We like
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: added some nave, dark navy blues and like anything that
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: would kind of compliment was already there. And then like
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: getting new, like big things like the couch and now
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: it's way more manly and comfy. And then we turned
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: her bedroom into what he likes to call an office,
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: but I like to call his man cave. But still,
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: even though it was predominantly his room, because I have
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: a glam room, um, I still wanted to have my
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: own touches on it. It was like, no, this pattern
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: goes with this and this color goes with that. You
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: can't put that together. And he's a little annoyed that
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: I still had input on his room. And then like
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: because his room is technically if you just gonna call
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: it our office, then a couple super Man action figures
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: in a Yo Yo is not Superman and um Patriots,
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: So that's what I don't mind. Like we did it
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: really cool. We made like a gallery wall with the
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: Superman and like my Giants poster with his Patriots poster.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: It was really cool. But then there's just like little
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: things that like if I'm not around, he'll like add
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: in while I'm at work and then I'll come back.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: I was like, why the did he put yo yo there?
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: Keep putting yo on the splay was like his grandfather,
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: my aunt got it for him from last Easter, but
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: like I was like, no, you put that in our
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: game cabinet? Did the auntie like put like a cents
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: in the mall and spin and get a yo yo
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: and like I'm gonna give give us to him, Like
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: yo yo is that we used to using like the
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: late nineties, and you do the doggy walk thing. Yeah,
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: but yeah, I don't know that is, but it's the
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: only thing we bicker about is trying to make like
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: what was my place now our place. Wait. I think
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: the common theme though, so like if I like at Bretton,
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: Cecy and you and Jared and Jess and Ben and
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: Caitlin and I is we have these like little bickering battles,
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, it's like from
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: what I've seen, all of us are like teammates, Like
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: Jared is always have your back. You always have Jared's back.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: You support each other, you pump each other up. You
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: and Cec here the same way. So you guys interact
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: and you're helping with the kids and it's just a
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: two way street. And just Ben, I saw your thing
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: yesterday with Jess, Like, Jess, You're gonna be embarrassed by this,
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: but I'm so proud of like what you're achieving with
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: it gets sweat Nashville. So I think like that is
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: the common team, Like we battle and we bark and
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: we go at it. But like I consider the friendship
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: is also like a like your teammate, like we're on
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: like we do things. Uh kind of together as one. Yeah.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: And it's also like when you have those little bigger things,
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: they're always over something super dumb, and you can you
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: can both acknowledge that it's really silly, and then you
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: always know that the the argument is going to resolve
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: itself in like fifteen minutes if even can I ask
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: a quick question because we have this, so I would say,
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: maybe I'm speaking for us, but for me, if we're
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: going to fight, there's the reason to fight is like
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: I want to get something out of it, and like,
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: like let's talk about it and let's not repeat it.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Do you and your relationships? Do you guys have someone
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: that like someone brings the heat and the anger and
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: then someone usually brings the like the rationale or does
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: that role switch. It's me, I'm I'm so, I'm so
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: bad about it, and it's it's very much an ego thing.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: It's like I'm gonna fight about something based on principle
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: and I just do not accept did and it's just
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: the way that it is. But it's an ego thing
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: whereas I will I won't see maybe the point or
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: what have you. And that is something I have to
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: work on big time. And then it gets into another
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: thing about Okay, wow, as I raise what was this is?
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: You know why am I thinking this way? Why do
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: I have this strong stance on opinion X y Z
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: you know what like it? That gets to be pretty
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: bad and has gotten in the way of our relationship
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: from excelling. And to be honest, maybe if I wasn't
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: such a dumb ass in the early days of our relationship,
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: and I'd like to say, Okay, well, yeah we were
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: young and blah blah blah, but you know what, an
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: idiot still an idiot. And if I wasn't such a dumbass,
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: how much further ahead could we have been? And that's
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: the biggest thing, is to not let the ego get
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: in the way of exactly what you're saying. I'm gonna
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: fight about this based on I want this result and
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: this really means a lot to me. And then if
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: the partner says, well, I don't care, well, then you're
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: actually saying I don't care what means a lot to you?
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: About what? And then if they say, okay, if it
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: means a lot to you, we need to discuss it,
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: We need to see and we need to find compromise,
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: and compromises in fifty fifty and it shouldn't be compromises off,
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: Like I actually just want you to support me on
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: this thing and I'll take it the other ninety or
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: everything you're doing, in my opinion is wrong and I
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: need you to just come on this thing. I don't know,
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: but you discussed that case by case. See, I don't
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: get it. Like when you say I don't care, I
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: don't care, that's always the most annoying because if you're
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: saying I don't care with any sort of attitude, it
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: means you totally care. We really need to continue talking
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: about it, yes, yes, And I'm I'm kind of bad
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: at that where I find myself saying I don't care,
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: I'm done talking about it, and he's like, no, no,
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: let's get to the root of the issue and what
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: can we do too? And I'm like, I don't care totally,
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: and I'm like you and it sounds like Dr Phil
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: in between us right here is just so good about it.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: It's like your your maturity, How old are you again?
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: He's so that's crazy. It's like I get annoyed him
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: for because I'm like and then I'm like I'm that, No, Ben,
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: what are you guys moving in. You know what the
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: most frustrating thing about relationships is when you really start
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: to like the person and you really start to get
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: to know the person, then all these things that you're
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: talking about you can't hide anymore. So, like I'm listening
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: to you, I'm like I been at the beginning. You
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: could be passive, aggressive Caitlin and Jason feel bad and
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: be like, I don't get it why she upset bread.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: I'm sure with your wife as your nineteen and you
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: know you're messing up all the time. It just kind
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: of feels like you're learning as you go, but as
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: you get to know the person, and then all of
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: a sudden, you start to see through all the mixed
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: languages and the attitudes and the comments, and then you're like,
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: screw this, Like I can't be I can't manipulate, I
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: can't be smart than this person, I can't think this
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: person feel bad they get me and I hate it. Yeah,
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: all right. It's tough to be vulnerable sometimes, and even
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: for dudes. And I know that that's changing is twenty
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: nineteen and everything like that, and emotions and stuff like
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: that are coming into play, but it's tough honestly as
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: a man sometimes to be so vulnerable and to really
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: talk about your feelings because we have a lot more
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: layers than we let on. You know, we're often girls
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: are are and can be an open book, and I
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: thinks can be a little bit more closed in that regard.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: But if there's any advice I would give to anybody
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: in a budding relationship or just married or married for
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: ten years because we can always talk about those things,
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: is to say, be okay to be vulnerable, because sometimes
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: it is if you do that and you get hurt,
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: you still learn a lesson from it. So don't waste
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: a good crisis in that regard. Very good advice, powerful stuff. Well,
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: I want to spend a moment here. I want to
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: say one break and I want to spend a moment
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: talking to Brett about why you're actually in studio today. Alright,
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: we got Caitlin Jim Brett in studio. We're talking about
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: Brett's newest single, Drink about Me. He chose right, Drink
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: about Me. Yeah, we got drunk a lot. Don't worry
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: about it. We are all going on there. Hey, uh, Brett,
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: let's start with this just to clear anything up for
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: the audience. Why did you choose Caitlin and Jason to
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: be in this video? Uh? You know what quick story is. Cecilia,
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: she had a wonderful idea. She said, you need to
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: cast a real couple, and you need to cast Caitlin
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: and Jason. Simple as that is it? Because Caitlin it
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: loves drinking. Right now. I'm not saying no, no, no no.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: I it was very very simple the song and the
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: content had I think it's such a great message, and
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: it is. It's it's a memory song disguised as a
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: drinking song. And I think for me, I wanted to
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: make her and for Cecilia obviously it's her idea was
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: to say, we need somebody who's got great memories and
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: a very solid relationship, and a relationship that she and
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: I really respect and and adore. So I thought that
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: the two of you guys, it was based on that
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: first and foremost. And then there comes the angle of Okay,
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: now I don't want to get all um, how do
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: how do I say it? It's not conceded, isn't the word? Um? Shallow?
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: Shallow is the word. But this is a very attractive couple, right, Okay?
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: So if you're If you're a single girl and you
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: want to see and you want to see somebody with
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: the shirt off off, watch Jason Tardigan the video and
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: the guy, the guy's beauty and if you want to see, uh,
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: well and an absolute rocket. You look at you, look
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: at Caitlin. I'm sorry, I'm gonna put my hand on you, Jason,
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: but let's just call a spade a spade, Spain sparrow,
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: great plug, um, but you have a very active couple.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: And then we I wanted it to be in the Caribbean,
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: so this just all made sense been and actually to
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: have these guys be a part of it, and they
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: really brought this song to life and visually, I think
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: it's a stunning video with a stunning couple with a
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: great message, and I'm really proud of them. Yeah, just
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: get a little background out there for Brett. Brett. Uh,
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: You're awarded the coveted Juno Award, which is equivalent to
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: the American Grammy Award that we all know for Country
• 45:24

• 45:27
  Speaker 1: that song. So this is the second Juno when for
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: you but You're blown up and and and this this song,
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: this single that you're coming out with with Jason and
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: Calin is just a part of this wave of success
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: that you've you've been having. Well, I appreciate you saying that.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: I think that it's, uh, it's a really really good
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: time for all of us right now. And I think
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: for country music as over the last four or five years,
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: it has really come to the forefront of so many
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: people's minds. You look at everything that's happened on Bachelor
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: Nation and stuff like that, with all of the country
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: artists that have performed on the show. Everybody around the
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: world is loving country music and it's no longer just
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: your mom and dad or your grandparents music. It is
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: an incredible genre telling real stories of real people. And
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: I think that we have an opportunity and for me
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: as as a Canadian now living in Nashville, I'm really
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: proud that I now have an opportunity, I think, to
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: stand toe to toe with a lot of my heroes
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: and a lot of my peers in the business with
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: a great song, a killer video, and a great message.
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: So I'm really excited for this season and honestly this
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: headspace that I'm in to not really take no for
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: an answer and to just go and and uh and
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: and kick some masks in uh in the way that
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: I know how the way I hope to Caitlin and Jason,
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: this is the first time you were on camera to
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: like not an iPhone camera where you're like romantic together.
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: It was kind of like a date from TV that
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: you never had. Was that weird or cool? It? Really?
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: I actually never thought about it like that, which is
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: very interesting because that's You're so right. It was like
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: our own little date making a music video, being on
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: like camera together. I loved when we got there real quickly. Um.
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: So Brett came prepared with because again behind the scenes
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: was the best party to silver tray, champagne, to to
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: champagne glasses, rose pedals in a card, you know the
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: cards on the show. And he's like, well, w did
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: it say? It was like it was like a production
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: to the Fantasy Suite we've never had, dared, Jason and Caitlin,
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Bahamas. Um, should you choose to forego
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: your individual individual rooms and stay as a couple in
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: the Fantasy Suite, you may do that. So I I
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: got that photo and I thought it was a great
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: way to kind of break the ice uh for us
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: and everything. I don't know what went down in that fantasy.
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: So there were no cameras there that didn't make the
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: music video, but I hope it was awesome. But the
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: big difference was that, like, so, you know, when you're
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: on the show, you go on a date and you
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: kiss or whatever, and there's cameras around, but the biggest
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: difference is here, this is fully produced. So Caitlin and
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: I are sitting there bigger and about god knows what
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: in productions, like here we go, start making out, let's
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: do this, And I was so mad at I can't remember.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: It was something dumb where we were just arguing about
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: nothing and I like look and I was like I
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: cannot stand you right now. And then the director was like, Blake,
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: because all right, make out and I was like but
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: then I got over in thirty seconds and I was like, wait,
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: that was really gone. Well. I posted on my Instagram
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: and makeout kind of the beginning of a makeout session
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: with you guys today. And the funniest thing is as
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: you guys are making out, the first time their lips touch,
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: Blake oard director says, oh yeah, that's great. Yeah, just
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: like that, Okay, and go and he's coaching them. It's
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: like no, no, no, no, no, let let them be
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: in the moment, like just enjoy this. He's so literally like,
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, really good, really good. K a little bit longer. Yeah,
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: that's great. And we got Khalid. I remember that song,
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: Can't We just talk? Can't We did that? We played
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: that like thirty times to get everybody in the mood
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: and everything again just funny stories. It was behind the scenes.
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: Should be a music video in itself because we had
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: so much fun. Drink about me gets me in the mood.
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: So I I mean, I just play that making music
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: right there. I don't care what anybody says. Hey, before
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: we say goodbye to Caitlin, Jason, and Brett, first off
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: things from the studio. We have a couple of rapid
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: fire questions for Caitlin and Jason. Ashley is always an
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: expert at rapid fire. It's what she loves. Yeah, let's
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: play Ashley take it away. Speaking of Raman, who disciplines
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: Raman more? Oh, that's a good question. I think I do. Yeah,
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: I don't believe in disciplining. I couldn't. I can't do
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: it either. In setting them up for success, and showing
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: them what you want instead of they don't understand anger,
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: like they're like and then they think you're like barking
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: back and they think they're playing with you, and like
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: it's it's this whole thing. I don't believe in reprimanding
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: a dog. I kind of don't either. It's really hard, Jared.
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: It's like, how else is she supposed to learn if
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: I don't look at her in the eyes and yo,
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: it's not yelling. It's like more of like that deep
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: man voice, and they can only do it. She doesn't
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: listen to me, And I'm like, it's like every couple
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: she get a dog before they have kids though, learning
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: style and working through some of those things. So I
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: think it's great, Okay, this isn't we're supposed to rapid fire. Well,
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: it's fine. I like to discuss Jason, what was the
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: last event thing that you went to for her that
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: you didn't want to go to? Well, good question, can
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: be business? Yeah, we were just in Vegas and it
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: was great. She had two podcast two shows. One with
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: was with Lauren's Ema at Life This Beautiful killed it.
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: But then she went on stage with Nicky Glazier and
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: Nicky glazier, hilarious comedian that makes Caitlin look like a
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: church girl. I mean she gets in to it, and um,
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: that was one event that I think my pears were pierced.
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: And many of the times, I don't even think I
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: can put that podcast out because I was like, you
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: know what, like I respect inappropriate humor, but I don't
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: think I can even put that out because of some
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: of the things. I'll definitely I have this story I
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: have to share. Sorry, I actually gotta interrupt this because
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: this is one of my favorite Jason stories. Is we
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: were at this event. I'm not gonna say what, so
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: point to. We're at this event and some people went
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: out on stage and they said some things that were
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: just like far off, like super crude, and Jason and
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: I were out there as well, and we get back
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: to the dressing room and Jason's like, dude, can you
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: believe that? I was like, man, I feel awkward. He's
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: like I just He's like, I could never go out
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: in front of people and say that kind of stuff.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: I was like, I couldn't either, And then it hit me.
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: I was like, you're in love with Kitlin. It's literally
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: my jaw hits the floor at least once a day,
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: and we're total opposites, but it works. I say thanks
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: to him, like we'll be podcasting and I'll say something
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: so inappropriate but like just so casually drop it that
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: he like. It takes a second. He goes, you can't
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: say that, and I'm like, yes, I can. I do
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: like rapid fire, where it's not exactly rapid, it's more
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: like random questions. And I'm looking at my list right
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: now and I'm like, all these need explanations. How do
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: you deal with hotels these days? Because the bathroom, like
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: the toilets, is oftentimes just in the bedroom. So we
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: have no problem that we're discussed. We talked about that,
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: don't We're like, if you can't fart in front of
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: your significant other or let one go, then we think
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: there's deeper issues there that you were not letting one
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: go last night. You were letting it all out. It's
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: not a bat of chen. What I say I woke
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: up this morning was like you have seen me? No,
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: it's so we're open about it. I think I remember
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: I was talking about that when you were here for
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: the in depth episode, which is about six months ago.
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: If even and you're like, I don't know if I'm
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: there yet, but you've gotten there. There, We're far past there.
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: That's when things are great, though, because then what you
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: could be actually physically comfortable with the first time they
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: have a weird thing. My mom is never farting from
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: my dad, never my my grandmother, because we talked about
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: this all the especially a lot of my family are,
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: you know, can be a little bit off the wall,
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: and she says I would never like she just oh,
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: my gosh, shoulders go up. Never. We don't do that.
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: Like literally, my mom farts in front of Jason. My
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: mom when she was like seventeen, she went away on
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: a group ski trip and they shared a bathroom. I
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: don't know was one week long. She didn't poop for
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: an entire week a joke, because that's how private she
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: is about her business. She must have gotten so sad.
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: I know she. I can't imagine how she felt. I
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: don't know how she didn't poop in the middle of
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: her sleep, to be honest, and her body was like,
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: we're going to involuntarily do that. She did it on
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: the hill, guaranteed. She went into the bush on the
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: ski hill and be like, oh, I took the wrong run.
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I just I was supposed to follow everybody.
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: Now she did. She did it in the bush. I
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: had previous relationships like that where I wasn't open. I
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: would go to like the gym. I'd go to the
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: lobby bathroom, like, oh, I gotta take a phone call
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: and go down to the lobby. I think my mom
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: still must do that when my dad and her sharing
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: a hotel room, like, I think she probably waits until
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: he goes somewhere. That's so crazy. Um, you guys, what
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: is one thing, Jason, that you still want to get
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: rid of that was part of Caitlin's place before it
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: was yours only one? So Caitlin has this cactus that's
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: in her kitchen and it's turn it off like too straight,
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: very correct. Now it's it's turned, it's spiraled. It looks
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: what does it look like? A limp piece? And the
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: thing's gotta go. That's and it's and by the way,
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: it's cemented on the floor with it looks like um
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: looks okay, yeah, So I'll show you before and after
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: that's gotta go. I thought you were going to say,
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: my um my, um hay. Alex is Alexa Alexa, my
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: Alexa with pictures of Tucker's still on it, keep thinking
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: it's wrong, and when I look at it and I'm like,
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: I should probably take that. How much don't have any
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: more time? This isn't a rapid fire question, but just
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: one that I'm obliged to ask. How does it feel
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: that Hannah is on Dancing with the Stars and you
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: still haven't gotten your chance? Um? I'm really happy about it.
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: One because the whole reason I spoke out about my
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: frustration with not getting on was so that future bachelorettes
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: possibly have a chance. So I do, I mean a
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: small part yet things where I'm like, she's living my dream.
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: But I'm also like that is the reason I spoke
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: out about being frustrated, so that I could somehow have
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: a voice for future bachetes to possibly get the chance
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: to go on the show. So awesome. I'm very happy
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: for her. What do you think if if she was
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: still with Jed, you think she would be able to
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: get that gig? No, So this is kind of like
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: a they threw her a bone. Same thing with Melissa Ryecroft,
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: you know, like Jason breaks up with her on National
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: television to go back his and then they're like, but
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: you can have Dancing with the stars. It was we
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: talked to Joe. We had dinner with Joe and Kendall
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: last night, and I didn't realize behind the scenes, but
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: Joe had told us how difficult that can be on
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: a relationship, something I never thought about. But about the
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: top of the show. Okay, so Kendall is so secure,
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: but even Kendall said, you know, they want you to
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: have like a very romantic dance and you're with that
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: person at eight nine hours a day, and how that
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: could put a lot of strain on a relationship. So
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: it's interesting to see different perspectives um. But like like
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: Joe said, Joe goes, if it was Kendall, no way
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: I could have done it, Like I couldn't have seen it.
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: But I've never thought about that. Yeah, we're talking about
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: before the show. Well, once again, Caitlin Bristow walks so
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: others can run speaking about Caitlyn. We gotta give you
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: credit for your success on your own podcast that I've
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: yet to be invited to. Not happy about it, but
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: Caitlin Bristow has had a successful live tour now for
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: the last year. We're gonna give it a shot, the
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: almost famous podcast. We're learning from Caitlin as we go,
• 57:38

• 57:41
  Speaker 1: in studio because Brett Keisel has Drink about Me out.

• 57:53
  Speaker 1: you for saying all that, Ben, I appreciate that. And oh,

• 58:12
  Speaker 1: wait for the next time. But we gotta get you

  Speaker 1: guys out to one of our shows where we can
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: drink some whiskey backstage and continue on more on the
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: behind the scenes train because the stuff we talk on
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: the microphone is amazing. The stuff that maybe we can
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: say off the mic might be a little bit more fun,
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: so we can have some good times to that. Thanks.
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: Every time the sponsors on our podcast, I talk them
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: up because they are truly such a fantastic company. I
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: think they're the best company um in this field. In
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: that field is flat women's flat shoes. They have all
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: of my life cut up the back of my heel.

• 59:08
  Speaker 1: them out, So if that doesn't tell you that their stylish,
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know what does. They are also made out
• 59:14

• 59:19
  Speaker 1: friendly while looking very fashion forward and being very very

  Speaker 1: obviously we're gonna bring back ben bitches. It's not always
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: a hit, but sometimes it is, so it's worth trying
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: and doing. This week, I'm upset about one thing, and
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: one thing alone. It's the lack of bees that we
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: have in the world today. I'm not happy about it.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: I see pesticides, I see people out there smashing bees.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: And here's what I'm learning as we go. Everybody in studio,
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: shake your heads. Yes, if you agree, bees are vital apps,
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: vital to the success of our environment. And if we
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: continue to kill him, squash them, push him away, ultimately
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: we're gonna be the ones that lose. So keep the bees,
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: start protecting the bees. Understand the bees are leaving us quickly.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: So people out there listening Almost Famous podcast believes in
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: keeping the bees. Hey man, we need those bees are
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: crucial for our life. You know, when I get at
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: Eastern need the bees. I'm passionate about too. I mean,
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: there's been a lot of people walk in the studio.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: There's been a lot of great people walk in the studio.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: I met this person at an airport and port of
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: Varda as I flew in for Chris and Crystal's wedding.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: Whitney frands Way, Welcome to the Almost Same podcast? Is
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: your first time here? Oh my goodness, welcome? Thank you.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: So you were dating Connor for a split second on
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: Bachelor in Paradise and it was a little bit of
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: a produce scene where you guys skipped each other on
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: the road. I don't think we cannot deny that, so
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: I'm calling it out. Um, Whitney, you guys ended up
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: meeting for the first time at the wedding, but then
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: you hung out again, um at in his hotel room,
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: and you guys kind of hit it off and you
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: began dating. How were you ever exclusive? Yeah? Um? Actually
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: after we left, when we left Paradise, after we left
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: the hotel, we decided to just kind of jump in
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: into a relationship because it was going really well. Um.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: And as we continue to explore that as we left Paradise,
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: it kind of our spark just starting to fade. Um.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: And we had kind of communicated about that the whole relationship,
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: but we just kind of sat down and got to
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: a point it was just like you know what. I
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: think we're better as friends and we shouldn't let outside
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: factors have a play on that. UM. And So about
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: two weeks ago, Yeah, now we broke up. Is it
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: is it one of those I mean, it looked like
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: it was cordial, and it looks like it looked like
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: it was. It was good. Do you've looked back on
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: that relationship? And here's always a question we get from
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: our listeners, does it feel like a real relationship looking
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: back on it now? Yeah? I mean definitely, I felt
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: like we had a spark in connection. We just needed
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: time to explore that further. Um. And just because it
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: didn't work doesn't mean again like we're not friends. We are. Um.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: It was kind of a mutual decision and yeah, it
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: was real. Do you wish that you would have ever? Like,
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: do you wish you would have been in paradise? After
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: watching it back the whole time? Like, was there anybody
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: else there that like stuck out to you? Or do
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: you feel like you went with the person that you
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: best were suited for? No. I think Connor was the
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: only one that I really felt like I had an
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: organic spark with when I met him that day at
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: the wedding, So I definitely don't wish that it would
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: have gone down differently. I think it was kind of
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: nice that it was super untraditional because we got to
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: know each other more in a private setting. That's nice.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: You were on Nick Viall's season, the season of the Bachelor,
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: and then you didn't go on Paradise for two years
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: because you had a boyfriend, and then you had such
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: a late entrance and Bachelor in Paradise this time around,
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: you think that because you have been talked about so
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: much in this b I P season, that you maybe
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: be open to going again next year. Um, I'm definitely
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: open to it. I hope it doesn't come to that.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: I kind of hope I find somebody before next year. Um,
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: but I don't know as of now if I see
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: myself doing it again. But never say never got you.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: I think whenne One of the things that have really
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: stood out to me was the response of viewers for
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: you on Paradise. I mean, you're a beautiful person inside. Now.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: I got to meet you walking to the airport. You
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: didn't tell me that you're into somebody specific when we're
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: in the airport. I don't think I asked you. Um,
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: but you have captivated audience, but you've kind of taken
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: a low profile. UM, but you've continued to kind of
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: connect and build a career outside of the franchise, which
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: is always respectable. Can you tell all there and a
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: little bit about what you're up to today? Yeah, UM,
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: I do the social media thing like a lot of people.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: I think Bachelor definitely opened the doors for me in
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: that sense. UM. I focus on beauty, fitness, lifestyle, wellness. UM.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: And now that I'm back after summer and tons of travel, UM,
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: I'm ready to just kind of get my feet back
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: on the ground with UM focusing on that and UM,
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: I'm working on something exciting hopefully that's going to come
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: out in the next year in the wellness world, So
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: stay tuned to that. UM. But yeah, that's all I
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: really have going on right now. What are some glam
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: lifestyle fitness products that you would suggest that people have
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: to check out? UM, Oh my gosh, there's so many.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: I feel like I'm always You're probably in the same boat.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: You're probably always trying new beauty always products and well,
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: I actually, um, the most recent uh thing that I
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: just did is I work with T three micro hair
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: tools and I've been having a lot of fun exploring,
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: um how to use their tools, how to do my
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: hair different and I think that's probably the best hair
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: tool that I have found out there. UM. So I'm
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: genuinely excited to be a partner with them. So if
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: you haven't tried their stuff, you definitely should. Okay, yeah,
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, Whitney, Here's the thing is Nation, you come
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: off of the show and you do do the social
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: media thing, you do the travel thing, and there's always
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: like a passion behind it, and so what is it
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: about all of this stuff that you're doing right now
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: that really fires you up? Yeah? Um. I think a
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: lot of people in social media can sometimes struggle with
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: purpose because they get a little bit lost in um,
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: the surface level of that. UM. But I think for me,
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: what makes me so excited to get up and do
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: this every day and be fortunate enough to do this
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: is that I have a platform that I can reach
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: so many people and make a difference in their lives.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: So I really try to be a positive influence with
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: natural beauty and healthy lifestyle and um just positive body
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: image and um surrounding herself with a good community. And
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: I think hopefully that I can be a good example
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: for people if they're struggling with any of that that
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: I'm here to kind of give them tools in tips
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: and tricks. Whitney, I'm going to play a Bachelor rapid
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: fire with you. When did you start watching a Bachelor? Um?
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: Probably I don't know, a few years before mine. So
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: who was your favorite Bachelor to watch? Be careful with you. Honestly,
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: probably been season I feel like that's when I actually
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: started watching seasons. Fully, I think I kind of just
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: watched like episodes here and there before. Um, but I
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: had friend a friend, Jojo at the time that did
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: been seasons. You knew Jojo? Yeah? Yeah, So her ex
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: Chad in my ex lived together in Dallas, and uh,
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: I went there to live there for a month, and
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: that's when she was dating Chad, and so I got
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: to know her really well, crazy, super crazy, small world
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: not bad Chad. Just to clarify, well, no, this is
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: the Chad that showed up with the flowers during my season.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: Never got he was probably fine. I didn't know that though.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: She had one of the reasons why you went on
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: the show. Yeah, her, And then actually I watched one
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: Pablo season two. Um, I had another friend that just
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: gives him my season. Now. I watched your season two,
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: but again, like I didn't watch the season fully I
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: think until Jojo was on Ben season Ben season. Um,
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: but yeah, Jojo definitely had an influence. I kind of
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: just talked to her about experience and wanted to see
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: if that was something that she enjoyed and something that
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: I should be open to. So she kind of helped
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: push me in the direction of doing the show. Cool.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: Speaking of my season, I should started out there. Um.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: I saw her souls this weekend and he seems to
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: be doing well. Just where do you see him at? Um? Well,
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: he he was staying at an Airbnb in West Hollywood
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: and he was hanging out with Wells and Nick. Jared
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: and I were at a charity event and Nick was like,
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: it was Nick's birthday and he was like, do you
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: want to go up or to therapy and be and
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: hang out for a couple grab a beer and we did.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: It was nice. That's awesome, good, you know what, we
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: were wishing Chris the best and just everybody in that situation. Um,
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: you know, we're just thinking about him. It's it's never easy,
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: but hey, it's good that you saw Chris Um, then okay,
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: let's go. Let's continue this rapid fire for a second.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: Who was your favorite bachelorette to watch? But I feel
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: like you're biased here obviously Rachel okay, because she's my beastie.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: But did you on her wedding? Yeah? Tell us about
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: their wedding. Their wedding was so fun, Like, Rachel was
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: the one when we were traveling on my season that
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: we always room together, so our friendship grew through that.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: To then see her like she had never seen the
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: show before she went on, and then to see her
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: be able to be the Bachelorette and hear about that experience.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: I can remember so vividly to this day, the phone
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: call she gave me when she was done filming and
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: she told me she was engaged, and Um, I think
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: just to be there through their whole relationship and then
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: actually be there at their wedding was such a cool
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: EXPI arians and I was just so thrilled for both
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: of them. I'm so happy for her. Is there a
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: little tidbit that we haven't seen on social media yet
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: that you can let us in on um from the wedding? Yeah,
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: m I feel like a lot of it was out there.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: I think it was pretty laid back to be honest. Um,
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: but obviously there was some other Bachelor people there like Christina,
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: Astrid and Kevin. Um who else was there? Um? Yeah,
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: a few other people that was fun to see because
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: was there. Eric Bigger was there? Yeah. Um. So just
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: fun to kind of get that crew back together too,
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: because I don't get to see them that much, And
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: obviously Astrid and Kevin and Raven and at Her are
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: engaged too, So just kind of like fun to see
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: all of them. Awesome, Whitney, We've heard you can confirm
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: deny or not comment that Tyler and Christina maybe hanging out.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: Can you confirm deny or not comment. I'm not sure
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: if I should comment on that. At least she's smiling, giggling.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: It's a nice giggle. That's all we need from you actually. Okay,
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: My last question for you is if you were on
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: seasons four and five of Bachelor in Paradise, who would
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: you wanted to see there? Um? The two seasons before me. Yeah,
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: the ones that you possibly could have been on if
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: you didn't have a boy. My gosh, I don't know.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: I feel like I can't answer that because it's kind
