Almost Famous OG: Golden Impressions (The Golden Bachelor Season 2 Episodes 1 & 2 Recap) · The Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous Podcast

0:00
Speaker 1: This is the almost Famous podcast with iHeartRadio. Hi everybody,
0:06
Speaker 1: welcome back to the Almost Famous OG podcast. It's Trista
0:09
Speaker 1: and Bob, who you know, finally is here. We've been
0:13
Speaker 1: waiting for a long time.
0:14
Speaker 2: So sorry, so sorry about that.
0:17
Speaker 1: My god, It's fine. I was just doing work, which
0:20
Speaker 1: is what I can do at any moment of any
0:22
Speaker 1: day anyway. And we are so excited because we're going
0:26
Speaker 1: to recap the first episode of season two of The
0:30
Speaker 1: Golden Bachelor, one of my favorites. Yeah, and then with
0:34
Speaker 1: Mel Owens. Obviously, he's been in the news since you
0:37
Speaker 1: did that podcast, and there was talk about him maybe
0:42
Speaker 1: not doing it, so I'm glad it's still going. And
0:44
Speaker 1: I thought the episode was awesome. I am really excited
0:48
Speaker 1: for this season.
0:49
Speaker 2: I am too.
0:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I gotta be honest. I don't know
0:53
Speaker 3: what it was, but part of me was expecting not
0:55
Speaker 3: to like Mel. I don't know if it was because
0:57
Speaker 3: of all the noise we've heard around, you know, the podcast,
1:00
Speaker 3: all that stuff. But I don't know if they coached him.
1:03
Speaker 3: I don't know if this was his own call or not.
1:05
Speaker 3: I think, I honestly think is probably a combination of both.
1:07
Speaker 3: But he came right out and addressed the elephant in
1:09
Speaker 3: the room right right away.
1:11
Speaker 2: You know.
1:11
Speaker 3: A couple of ladies as they were getting out of
1:13
Speaker 3: the limos said some things to him, and he was like,
1:16
Speaker 3: I am so sorry.
1:17
Speaker 2: That was so insensitive, you know, And I get it.
1:20
Speaker 2: I mean, if.
1:21
Speaker 3: Anyone has said dumb things in passing and didn't realize
1:24
Speaker 3: it would hurt somebody, that's totally me. I mean I've
1:27
Speaker 3: done that a million times, and I mean no ill
1:29
Speaker 3: to anybody.
1:30
Speaker 2: And man, I've.
1:31
Speaker 3: Said some things and I think it's all funny because
1:32
Speaker 3: I make fun of me. You know, I would make
1:34
Speaker 3: fun of myself and my own age, and so I
1:36
Speaker 3: guess in turn. But whatever it was, he owned it
1:40
Speaker 3: and it's over, right. I think he squashed it. It's over,
1:42
Speaker 3: is over, I hope.
1:43
Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't want them to rehash it every
1:45
Speaker 1: single week. But yes, I am really glad he went
1:48
Speaker 1: into the mansion and said, I am so sorry for
1:51
Speaker 1: my comments. There's no age or number to spirit and
1:56
Speaker 1: all of that. So but before we get into the episode,
2:00
Speaker 1: Ashley and Ben did a little what do we call it?
2:04
Speaker 1: Fantasy League for the Bat for the Golden Bachelor on bracketology,
2:09
Speaker 1: which I had no idea about, which is actually so
2:11
Speaker 1: much fun. I played based on me. I don't play
2:13
Speaker 1: a Big Brother. I watch Big Brother, and I totally
2:16
Speaker 1: would have done that with Big Brother had I known.
2:18
Speaker 1: So anyway, we have brackets on bracketology, yes, and we
2:24
Speaker 1: wanted to get in on the action too, So Bob,
2:28
Speaker 1: do you want to go first? And and and of
2:30
Speaker 1: course this is not sponsored. This is just for fun.
2:34
Speaker 1: You know, we're doing this just for fun, picking our picks,
2:38
Speaker 1: and we're going all the way to the end. And
2:40
Speaker 1: this is before we watched the show. I mean, I
2:43
Speaker 1: will say I got real confused, and I told our
2:45
Speaker 1: producer while we were waiting for you, my brain is
2:49
Speaker 1: not functioning that well these days. So I'm sorry for
2:52
Speaker 1: my confusion. But I had watched a teeny tiny bit,
2:54
Speaker 1: like just the Limo entrances, but we hadn't seen when
2:59
Speaker 1: we made our predictions, right, any of the episodes, you know,
3:03
Speaker 1: the good stuff. So we're going, we're fast forwarding all
3:06
Speaker 1: the way to hometown picks, and we are in the
3:09
Speaker 1: first Impressions bracket, which is like the most traditional bracket. Okay,
3:15
Speaker 1: so why don't you start and tell me and I'll
3:18
Speaker 1: say the same. What kind of went into your decision making? Yeah,
3:23
Speaker 1: did you think about looks, career names? Did you study
3:25
Speaker 1: the trailer and the clips? Tell me all the things?
3:29
Speaker 3: So I will be honest, I looked at I think
3:33
Speaker 3: my evaluation criteria probably was Looks.
3:39
Speaker 2: If I looked in their bio or.
3:41
Speaker 3: Whatever it was, that like whatever their little kind of
3:43
Speaker 3: synopsis was, and it said that they were active, right,
3:46
Speaker 3: if that was an important thing.
3:47
Speaker 1: To them, totally, yep.
3:49
Speaker 3: And that was important because I don't know Mel. I
3:52
Speaker 3: don't know anything about Mel other than the podcast, right,
3:54
Speaker 3: and the fact that he was a former football player.
3:56
Speaker 3: And I think I told you Trista that one of
3:58
Speaker 3: my buddies who's also a former NFL player knows him
4:01
Speaker 3: or knew him years ago, And so.
4:03
Speaker 2: I had nothing to go on. So I was like, Okay,
4:05
Speaker 2: he said, and this is the last time.
4:07
Speaker 3: I promised, this will be the last time we talked
4:08
Speaker 3: about this. But he's like, I don't want any fake
4:10
Speaker 3: hips and any of this. So I'm like, okay, he
4:12
Speaker 3: wants active people, right, So in my mind, that went
4:15
Speaker 3: into it.
4:15
Speaker 2: Looks went into it, and.
4:17
Speaker 3: Then self image of what I think he sees himself as.
4:23
Speaker 2: Went into it too, right, So I was like, who.
4:25
Speaker 1: Do I think, who do you want to be with?
4:27
Speaker 2: Who he would he want to be with? Right?
4:28
Speaker 1: And then he would want to see have in photos
4:31
Speaker 1: next to him?
4:32
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, Like who do you want to and who's
4:34
Speaker 3: got something going on that he would respect and admire
4:37
Speaker 3: career wise? Because I know professional football guys. Man, they
4:40
Speaker 3: you know, they they've reached the pinnacle and they expect
4:44
Speaker 3: everyone else to reach it too, right, It's just the
4:46
Speaker 3: way it's of they sure the beast and I and
4:48
Speaker 3: I love that.
4:49
Speaker 2: So that that's kind of what went into it for me.
4:51
Speaker 2: And I was.
4:52
Speaker 3: Guessing after a while at you know, as we got
4:55
Speaker 3: as we went through these Rose ceremonies. I was guessing
4:58
Speaker 3: because I was sight unseen on a lot of it.
5:00
Speaker 3: But I feel like, after watching last night's episode, I
5:03
Speaker 3: feel like my picks could be pretty.
5:05
Speaker 1: Good awesome, Okay, So for me what went into it is, uh,
5:11
Speaker 1: I looked back at the trailers and like the previews
5:15
Speaker 1: that they've put out so far. And at first, you know,
5:20
Speaker 1: I told you about my confusion. I thought we were
5:22
Speaker 1: just picking five people. So I picked I picked one
5:27
Speaker 1: based on the fact that she's the twin sister of
5:29
Speaker 1: somebody else in the franchise. Yeah, and then and we'll
5:32
Speaker 1: get into that, but we won't actually because I don't
5:34
Speaker 1: have her going all the way. But that was that
5:37
Speaker 1: first time. And then I looked at the trailers and
5:40
Speaker 1: the like preview of the season that they've put out,
5:44
Speaker 1: and I was like, Okay, who is in these previews.
5:47
Speaker 2: That's smart, that's very smart. I should have done that.
5:50
Speaker 2: Didn't even think about it.
5:52
Speaker 1: So I looked at the previews and that's kind of
5:54
Speaker 1: what I based, like the where I should get my
5:58
Speaker 1: my bucket from you, I should pull from the bucket,
6:02
Speaker 1: and then kind of used a little bit of what
6:05
Speaker 1: you were saying, like where do they live? If they
6:08
Speaker 1: lived in California. They kind of got some bonus points
6:11
Speaker 1: because I think that I, as someone who has a
6:14
Speaker 1: kid in high school, I don't think he's going to
6:16
Speaker 1: want to move. I think his kid is probably a
6:19
Speaker 1: junior or senior, so it seems like he's not gonna
6:22
Speaker 1: like move just totally. Not that he couldn't move until later.
6:25
Speaker 1: But anyway, I was thinking California.
6:27
Speaker 2: I thought that was a big criteria for me too.
6:29
Speaker 3: By the way, I was thinking easily commutable if they're
6:32
Speaker 3: not in California, Seattle, maybe you know, Vegas, maybe because
6:36
Speaker 3: there's a couple of ladies from Vegas.
6:38
Speaker 2: So yeah, I was.
6:39
Speaker 1: And I know there are women who would move, but
6:41
Speaker 1: I feel like Teresa and Gary like kind of prove this.
6:44
Speaker 1: It's really hard when you're their age and your family
6:47
Speaker 1: is established where they're established, and you don't want to
6:50
Speaker 1: leave your family and your grandkids.
6:51
Speaker 2: And do you know my dentist.
6:53
Speaker 3: So I was at my dentist appointment today just as
6:55
Speaker 3: a side note, and yeah, I was watching I was
6:58
Speaker 3: watching the last part of the up episode because and
7:01
Speaker 3: she she as I walked in, she's like, well, what
7:03
Speaker 3: are you doing? Cause I shut it off? And she goes,
7:05
Speaker 3: well what are you doing? And I said, oh, I'm
7:08
Speaker 3: just watching a show that I have to talk about tonight.
7:10
Speaker 3: And she goes Golden Bachelor, and I said, yeah, I go,
7:14
Speaker 3: you go, I go, Na, And now I know I
7:16
Speaker 3: can't watch it while you're cleaning my teeth, and and
7:18
Speaker 3: she goes, it's just such a shame what happened with
7:21
Speaker 3: the last couple. She's like, why did they have to
7:22
Speaker 3: try and get married and live together? Like just you know,
7:26
Speaker 3: it would have been so great to have that companionship
7:28
Speaker 3: and then they could have worked it out over time.
7:29
Speaker 3: And she's like, no one's moving when they got grandkids
7:32
Speaker 3: and kids. And I'm like, yeah, good point. And she
7:34
Speaker 3: was probably fifty five maybe sixty, you know, and had
7:37
Speaker 3: that opinion, and so I was like, wow, okay, that's good,
7:40
Speaker 3: that's informative.
7:41
Speaker 2: I'd already have my picks in. But thankfully she was thinking.
7:43
Speaker 1: Like me, okay, okay, so who are your picks. Who
7:46
Speaker 1: are your picks for hometowns.
7:47
Speaker 3: Let's go one at a time, and before we do,
7:50
Speaker 3: let's make sure that our producer, Heather, keeps close track
7:54
Speaker 3: of these picks, because I think we should have something
7:57
Speaker 3: some type of a wager, not a creepy, weird not
8:01
Speaker 3: like that Ben and Ashley type of you know.
8:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, we don't need to be giving each other's
8:06
Speaker 1: shoulder massages, because I don't think Ryan would like that.
8:08
Speaker 1: I don't suggest would like it either.
8:09
Speaker 3: To be honest, Canyon would love it. She'd be like,
8:11
Speaker 3: oh great, now at least he's touching somebody else.
8:13
Speaker 2: Leave me alone. She says it a lot of time.
8:16
Speaker 2: But I'm not as.
8:17
Speaker 3: Worried about her rat I am of the silent, deadly
8:20
Speaker 3: man that I had as a roommate twenty two years ago,
8:23
Speaker 3: So we're not doing that.
8:24
Speaker 1: Easton says Ben gives the best. Oh, I guess Ben
8:28
Speaker 1: gives the best massages.
8:30
Speaker 3: Well I did get a nice deep tissue massage from
8:32
Speaker 3: him once, you know, all over body massage, and I
8:34
Speaker 3: will say, uh, it was weird.
8:36
Speaker 2: Now I'm just kidding.
8:37
Speaker 3: It was delightful. Okay, we could you know what we
8:39
Speaker 3: could do? We could do why don't we do? And
8:42
Speaker 3: this is not a sponsor of our show, but maybe
8:44
Speaker 3: we could make them one the app that you can
8:47
Speaker 3: order someone a massage at their home.
8:49
Speaker 2: Have you ever done that?
8:50
Speaker 1: What do you mean? What do you mean through that?
8:52
Speaker 2: You gets them all the time.
8:53
Speaker 3: There's an app and you can get a massage and
8:55
Speaker 3: they come to your home.
8:57
Speaker 2: They set up a massage table on your map.
8:59
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they're like all license massage therapists and they
9:02
Speaker 3: come down.
9:04
Speaker 2: So if you win, I'll order you one of those,
9:06
Speaker 2: or you can go conventional. That's okay.
9:08
Speaker 3: Let's just not do four seasons, right, So I don't
9:10
Speaker 3: want to, you know, miss my diapers and mortgage for
9:12
Speaker 3: the month, So we'll just do a h we'll do

11:17
Speaker 3: And you know another one, Debbie, Debbie who didn't the
11:20
Speaker 3: first time she found love was forty five.
11:22
Speaker 2: She's a fitness professional. I liked her.
11:24
Speaker 1: No, I'm so mad that I didn't pick her because
11:25
Speaker 1: she lives in Denver, and I should have just voted
11:28
Speaker 1: for my Denver girl.
11:30
Speaker 3: You should have because historically you people do pretty well
11:32
Speaker 3: in there in that town. So yeah, Carol, Jerry, Nicole,
11:35
Speaker 3: and you have Carol, Cindy Nicole. Okay, I want to
11:39

11:43
Speaker 1: Okay, I've got Carol and Cindy.
11:45
Speaker 2: Wow, I got Carol and Nicole.
11:47
Speaker 1: Oh boy, okay, do we both have the same final pick? Ready?
11:53
Speaker 2: Say on one on the three?
11:54
Speaker 1: On three? One two three, Carol?
11:57
Speaker 2: Carrol, But you didn't say it on Wait I said one,
12:04
Speaker 2: two three, Carol? What was I supposed to do?
12:08
Speaker 1: We were supposed to say it at the same time.
12:10
Speaker 2: Oh okay, I thought you met. So was it on
12:12
Speaker 2: three or are we going to say it on three?
12:14
Speaker 1: Okay? Anyway, that's in.
12:15
Speaker 2: Every movie that they do that violent. So we both
12:19
Speaker 2: think Carol's the way.
12:20
Speaker 1: We both picked Carol. Oh my gosh, that's funny. So
12:23
Speaker 1: how we're going to determine is the number two and
12:26
Speaker 1: number three?
12:26
Speaker 2: Yeah?
12:27
Speaker 3: Yep, because yeah, that's really going to come down to it. Now,
12:31
Speaker 3: how did you Okay, what was the driving because we
12:34
Speaker 3: neither one of us knew anything about these ladies.
12:37
Speaker 2: What was the And I will tell you this last night.
12:41
Speaker 3: When we start talking about the show, Actually, i'll tell
12:43
Speaker 3: you one of my sleeper picks that I really thought
12:46
Speaker 3: was going to go far, and she got.
12:49
Speaker 2: Sent home the first night.
12:50
Speaker 3: And then when I went back through my back through
12:53
Speaker 3: my stuff, I was like.
12:55
Speaker 2: Oh, wait a minute, I didn't choose her, and I
13:00
Speaker 2: was shocked.
13:01
Speaker 3: So I had her getting in the wait, did I
13:03
Speaker 3: have her getting in the first one? I didn't, So
13:06
Speaker 3: I'm shocked by that. Yes, I was, because from the pictures,
13:09
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, that girl for sure. So what I
13:12
Speaker 3: was thinking, I mean, this is it's very superficial, right,
13:15
Speaker 3: But I was thinking, oh, he's going to choose you know,
13:19
Speaker 3: just based on those comments. I mean, it's horrible that
13:22
Speaker 3: that's what I was doing. But I'm like, I got
13:24
Speaker 3: this guy dialed. I got this guy dialed. I'm looking
13:26
Speaker 3: at anybody close to seventy. I'm like, oh, he's probably
13:29
Speaker 3: not picking them. But then then I started thinking the
13:32
Speaker 3: antithesis theory. Maybe because he said these things, now he
13:38
Speaker 3: wanted to prove to everybody and he wasn't that guy right,
13:43
Speaker 3: So he's going to keep a couple of picks that
13:45
Speaker 3: maybe are a little bit older or maybe don't look
13:48
Speaker 3: as young or whatever as he. And so you know,
13:52
Speaker 3: I think I started he started messing with my mind.
13:54
Speaker 2: I got in my own head.
13:54
Speaker 3: I think it would have been much easier if I
13:56
Speaker 3: would have just stuck with my original theory. So it's
13:58
Speaker 3: coming down to points for us. We both got Carol.
14:08
Speaker 4: Escape to the coast at the Porta Fino Hotel and
14:11
Speaker 4: Marina in Redondo Beach.
14:13
Speaker 5: Wake up to sweeping ocean views. Then dine by the

14:46
Speaker 1: Okay, So moving on to the recap. Yes, I just
14:52
Speaker 1: in general, I feel like, you know, the show is
14:56
Speaker 1: with a whole new production team now, and I think
14:59
Speaker 1: there was like curiosity as to whether or not it
15:02
Speaker 1: would look the same, feel the same, be the same
15:05
Speaker 1: format all of that. I feel like in general it
15:08
Speaker 1: really is the same everything except for they did the
15:13
Speaker 1: rose ceremony outside by the pool yep. And then I
15:18
Speaker 1: feel like the itms kind of have a more like
15:20
Speaker 1: sophisticated look to them, Like in the background it was
15:24
Speaker 1: really pretty and very high definition.
15:27
Speaker 3: Well. The other thing that I thought was interesting was,
15:30
Speaker 3: as you recall, we were always battle in daylight, like
15:33
Speaker 3: we were moving through the night because they they wanted
15:36
Speaker 3: the appeal or the appearance I should say to be
15:40
Speaker 3: that it was still nighttime and we would get done
15:43
Speaker 3: at four forty five in the morning, right Soun's coming up.
15:47
Speaker 2: These ladies and mel clearly worked through the night. I mean,
15:51
Speaker 2: the sun was ah.
15:52
Speaker 1: But you know what, I think that happened in Golden
15:55
Speaker 1: Bachelor one. I want to say that they Yeah, I
15:58
Speaker 1: feel like there was another another one of these that
16:03
Speaker 1: that was something that happened that they moved on or
16:09
Speaker 1: they kept going until kind.
16:11
Speaker 2: Of I felt sorry for the Goldens.
16:13
Speaker 1: I mean, I totally did. I'm like, come on, I mean,
16:17
Speaker 1: I'm I'm like if I'm in bed by nine thirty.
16:20
Speaker 1: I'm so happy and I can't even imagine it was.
16:23
Speaker 1: And it's a lot because it's not just you're at
16:26
Speaker 1: home and you're Jammy's like staying up late. You're like
16:29
Speaker 1: on there's television cameras everywhere, so you're not just chilling
16:34
Speaker 1: watching a movie.
16:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, the women are wearing heels and dresses and it's like, yes,
16:38
Speaker 3: they're on their feet all night, and it's just yeah,
16:41
Speaker 3: I mean, you're you're having some drinks.
16:43
Speaker 2: You know, I know it's not like it used to be,
16:44
Speaker 2: but you know.
16:45
Speaker 3: They're having some drinks. And I feel like that's that's
16:47
Speaker 3: exhausting for anybody. And as a fifty some year old man,
16:50
Speaker 3: I can tell you MEL had to be exhausted because
16:54
Speaker 3: I go to bed every night around nine o'clock.
16:58
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, right, seriously, So okay, what did Oh Yeah,
17:02
Speaker 1: the furniture, it definitely looked more modern. They have definitely
17:05
Speaker 1: done some things to change up the interior, which I
17:09
Speaker 1: actually really liked.
17:10
Speaker 2: I thought it looked good. It looked really good.
17:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the limo pieces were a little speedier than normal.
17:17
Speaker 1: I felt like there wasn't a lot of time spent
17:19
Speaker 1: on each person's shick stick or whatever.
17:22
Speaker 3: Right, which I'm happy about because I hate the stick. Yeah,
17:25
Speaker 3: And so I was actually I was happy with them
17:28
Speaker 3: kind of motoring through that. There was only the one
17:30
Speaker 3: woman on the on the motorcycle who I really thought.
17:32
Speaker 3: She was adorable and I loved her story and I
17:35
Speaker 3: liked their connection too. In fact, when I after watching
17:39
Speaker 3: that first episode, I'm like, oh, I should have had
17:41
Speaker 3: her in my final.
17:42
Speaker 1: I same, same, yeah.
17:45
Speaker 3: But I really like her. She could be a sleeper,
17:47
Speaker 3: she and Debbie could both be sleepers.
17:48
Speaker 1: But she's not a sleeper. She gets the first yeah,
17:52
Speaker 1: one one, so I don't think she's a sleeper. I
17:54
Speaker 1: think she's definitely coming out the gate, like you know
17:58
Speaker 1: in Fuego. Yeah, And all the women were saying, we
18:02
Speaker 1: think that you're going to get the first impression Ros
18:04
Speaker 1: because that motorcycle entrance was amazing, and I think they
18:07
Speaker 1: really connected on like the active lifestyle thing, you know,
18:12
Speaker 1: like her fifty one trophies or whatever.
18:14
Speaker 2: Well, and then she got into her story about her family.
18:17
Speaker 3: Holy smokes, I mean that was wasn't that crazy?
18:21
Speaker 1: I literally went like, oh, like this when she said
18:24
Speaker 1: that her husband showed up and took her son, like.
18:27
Speaker 2: Well the first part.
18:28
Speaker 3: Actually, I actually walked into our bedroom and told Kenyon,
18:31
Speaker 3: I'm like, when you watch the show, you are going
18:34
Speaker 3: to die about this woman's story. She goes in to
18:36
Speaker 3: give birth for her first child, the most exciting and
18:41
Speaker 3: a mom can say this more than a dad even,
18:43
Speaker 3: but and terrifying moment of your life as an adult.
18:48
Speaker 2: And he just doesn't show up and disappears. It's like,
18:52
Speaker 2: what the hell?
18:53
Speaker 3: Like I honestly was like, if this dude is still around,
18:56
Speaker 3: we should go find him and roll him, you know,
18:58
Speaker 3: and you know pass, but it's like she and she
19:01
Speaker 3: forgave him, which I think, you know, it was pretty crazy.
19:04
Speaker 3: But yeah, so then you had a little bit of
19:06
Speaker 3: history about Mel's life. You see him with his sons interacting.
19:09
Speaker 3: They show some history and some footage of him playing
19:11
Speaker 3: football and he was a baller. I mean, he was
19:13
Speaker 3: obviously a pro football player, but his sons seemed like
19:16
Speaker 3: really sweet kids and like they have a nice relationship
19:19
Speaker 3: with their dad, which I thought was nice to see.
19:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I love that. Yeah, I love that
19:26
Speaker 1: dialogue between him and his boys. You can tell that
19:30
Speaker 1: they have a really close relationship. Yeah, and they are
19:34
Speaker 1: excited for him. And you know, want him to find happiness.
19:38
Speaker 1: So I thought that was really really sweet. And he
19:41
Speaker 1: said that he's only been in love once in his life,
19:44
Speaker 1: which I kind of found hard to believe, being that
19:48
Speaker 1: he had a professional football career and maybe he's just
19:52
Speaker 1: being honest that he had relationships, but not like, you know,
19:56
Speaker 1: something that he had with his ex wife, right right,
19:59
Speaker 1: So oh that was a little shocking to me. Not
20:02
Speaker 1: that it matters, but it was. I was just like, wow,
20:05
Speaker 1: that's interesting.
20:06
Speaker 2: Yeah. But then but then Cheryl rolls down on that motorcycle.
20:09
Speaker 2: That could be the second time. Who knows. It could
20:10
Speaker 2: have been love at first.
20:11
Speaker 1: Sight for him, a true story. It also could be
20:15
Speaker 1: a red flag. So we'll see what happens, what transpires.
20:19
Speaker 1: Do you think that they're going to get engaged whoever
20:21
Speaker 1: he picks, If it's Carol.
20:24
Speaker 2: And we're right, If we're right and it's Carol, then yes.
20:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah I think so.
20:29
Speaker 2: I think so too. I think.
20:32
Speaker 3: I think, you know, like one of the things I
20:34
Speaker 3: liked about his package was he was kind of vulnerable,
20:36
Speaker 3: you know, he was like, Yeah, I miss the companionship
20:39
Speaker 3: and I miss having someone with me all the time,
20:41
Speaker 3: and I like being in a relationship, and it was like,
20:44
Speaker 3: you know, I think he was really obviously none of
20:46
Speaker 3: us know the circumstances around his divorce, but it sounds like,
20:49
Speaker 3: you know, he genuinely didn't want a divorce, and so yeah,
20:53
Speaker 3: five years out of it, he's he's really genuinely interested
20:56
Speaker 3: in finding a relationship.
20:57
Speaker 2: And you never, as you and I can both attest,
21:00
Speaker 2: you never know.
21:00
Speaker 3: How real this whole circumstance is or situation is until
21:03
Speaker 3: you're in it, right, it's all it's all like you're
21:07
Speaker 3: taking it from watching a couple of shows or whatever, and.
21:09
Speaker 2: You're in it. And I saw Mel.
21:11
Speaker 3: I felt like I saw Mel struggling with this when
21:13
Speaker 3: when he had to send some women home at the
21:15
Speaker 3: end of the first role ceremony and he was.
21:17
Speaker 2: Genuinely feeling bad.
21:19
Speaker 3: And I remember, for myself that was the hardest and
21:22
Speaker 3: you told me it would be, and you were right.
21:23
Speaker 3: It was the hardest part about being the Bachelor was
21:25
Speaker 3: breaking up with people who haven't done anything wrong, Yeah,
21:29
Speaker 3: you know, and you're sending them home and you're like,
21:31
Speaker 3: you don't want to hurt anyone's feelings and you don't
21:34
Speaker 3: want them to think they're less than by any means,
21:36
Speaker 3: because they're not and it's just maybe I got more
21:38
Speaker 3: time with that person or maybe whatever.
21:40
Speaker 2: You know, and it's hard.
21:42
Speaker 3: It's a really hard thing to do if you if
21:43
Speaker 3: you're an empathetic person.
21:45
Speaker 1: You know. So totally yes, okay, so entrances, I think
21:50
Speaker 1: when we're getting ready for the limits, I love that
21:53
Speaker 1: Jesse pointed out his shoes, Like, what's with the shoes?
21:58
Speaker 1: Mel so funny. I think they're just orthopedic, you know, shoes,
22:04
Speaker 1: not anything fancy. He just was saying, you know, I
22:07
Speaker 1: have bad feet, and I think in the montage before
22:09
Speaker 1: he was talking about you know, how is Peter bad
22:11
Speaker 1: and his back is bad and you know all the
22:13
Speaker 1: things that happened when you get older. Yea to most people.
22:18
Speaker 1: So I thought that was really funny that I called
22:20
Speaker 1: him up for his shoes, and more props to him
22:23
Speaker 1: for wearing the comfy shoes instead of the ones that
22:26
Speaker 1: are uncomfortable.
22:27
Speaker 2: Somebody gave him good advice. I'm not sure who was.
22:30
Speaker 1: Totally, you're going to be there very long, so.
22:32
Speaker 2: Is going to be barking buddy? Yeah, they're gonna be okay.
22:34
Speaker 1: So who did who did you like? Which entrance was
22:40
Speaker 1: your favorite besides the motorcycle.
22:42
Speaker 3: We already said, Cheryl, Yeah, I loved Carol's entrance that
22:45
Speaker 3: you know, she's her yes nephew is as a ballplayer.
22:48
Speaker 3: She throws them the ball and says, you know, hey,
22:51
Speaker 3: you know, hey catch or whatever, and then she's got
22:55
Speaker 3: the jack.
22:55
Speaker 1: I love that she's walking away. She didn't say anything,
22:58
Speaker 1: and then she's walking away and he says something and
23:01
Speaker 1: she's like, you know, oh yeah, I love that love.
23:04
Speaker 2: I love Sdy Freeman. She's like, I need to Yeah.
23:06
Speaker 3: That was kind of a cool connection and I and
23:08
Speaker 3: I actually really liked it too that she didn't she
23:11
Speaker 3: didn't throw it out there right away, and you know,
23:13
Speaker 3: it was cute with the baseball begged the question of course,
23:16
Speaker 3: you know, uh yeah, Terry with the puppet. That was
23:20
Speaker 3: one that I would have coached her against that myself,
23:23
Speaker 3: you know.
23:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, same same.
23:25
Speaker 2: Yeah.
23:25
Speaker 1: I wasn't. I wasn't. That wasn't one of my favorites.
23:29
Speaker 1: But that's okay. I mean it's all good, everyone to
23:32
Speaker 1: each their own. I actually kind of like the ones
23:35
Speaker 1: that there's really they're just like introducing themselves. But one
23:41
Speaker 1: one of the ones that was my favorite based on
23:44
Speaker 1: that is Cindy. I love that she was like, you know,
23:47
Speaker 1: Cindy like Cinderella and I'm looking for my prince Charming
23:50
Speaker 1: and what else did she oh talk to me before midnight?
23:53
Speaker 1: I was like, that's all really cute. I love that
23:57
Speaker 1: she used that, But it wasn't like in your face,
24:00
Speaker 1: and it wasn't you know, giving him a kiss and
24:03
Speaker 1: making him feel awkward in the first moment. But it
24:06
Speaker 1: was cute and he remembered her.
24:08
Speaker 2: Yeah.
24:09
Speaker 3: You know, it's so funny because these entrances didn't start
24:11
Speaker 3: until long after our seasons.
24:13
Speaker 2: But I remember thinking at the time.
24:15
Speaker 3: Like I think I've even told you this before, Like
24:18
Speaker 3: we were all like, hell, why is Ruscott a Tiffany's box?
24:21
Speaker 2: Why didn't we do that?
24:22
Speaker 3: You know, your entrances for the Bachelorette, And I remember
24:26
Speaker 3: just introducing myself and saying hi and letting you know
24:28
Speaker 3: I was so excited to meet you or whatever. And
24:30
Speaker 3: but but it's kind of funny, like I remember, we
24:32
Speaker 3: didn't have any of these like staged entrances when I
24:35
Speaker 3: was the bachelor either, and I'm so thankful that we
24:38
Speaker 3: didn't because I would not have been the right audience
24:41
Speaker 3: for these things.
24:42
Speaker 2: Even though I love laughing, and I loved it. I
24:44
Speaker 2: would have been like, what is going on right now?
24:46
Speaker 3: You know, like the bomb like peg the bomb lady
24:49
Speaker 3: in the In the first of all, it was hilarious
24:50
Speaker 3: that the bomb didn't go off, but the fact that
24:53
Speaker 3: she's stuck with.
24:53
Speaker 2: The bit and the producers come out and do it
24:55
Speaker 2: again and it's like.
24:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, She's like no, no, no, we're doing this again.
24:58
Speaker 1: We're doing this again until it goes off. So cute. Actually,
25:02
Speaker 1: she is one that I feel like, after watching the episode,
25:06
Speaker 1: I kind of wish I had had in my at
25:10
Speaker 1: least top four.
25:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I think, yeah, yeah, it could be one that.
25:14
Speaker 1: I think she's going to go to. Yeah, And I
25:18
Speaker 1: love that she's a firefighter. I love that she's a
25:21
Speaker 1: firefighter and that she was part of a bomb squad
25:25
Speaker 1: like that is that's a huge flex.
25:28
Speaker 2: Do you know?
25:29
Speaker 3: I had a firefighter on my season. Her name was
25:31
Speaker 3: Shay I still remember to this day. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful firefighter.
25:37
Speaker 3: And I never got to talk to her the whole night. Never,
25:42
Speaker 3: And so yeah, and I felt like if I kept her,
25:45
Speaker 3: I would be judged for it because I didn't know,
25:48
Speaker 3: I didn't know what they were going to keep in
25:49
Speaker 3: what they were going to keep out. But she was
25:51
Speaker 3: so captivating. But I was like, no, I never got
25:54
Speaker 3: to talk to her. I'm not going to keep her,
25:56
Speaker 3: you know. For whatever reason, the producers didn't have me
25:58
Speaker 3: talk to her. I don't know why, you know, And
26:00
Speaker 3: so I went with only people I talked to and
26:01
Speaker 3: had a connection with. But I remember her, and I
26:03
Speaker 3: remember thinking like that was so interesting, Like I would
26:05
Speaker 3: have loved to talk to her and got to know her,
26:07
Speaker 3: but I just never had a chance, you know.
26:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I love that background. I love that she
26:13
Speaker 1: she is super active. I wish I would have picked
26:16
Speaker 1: her for that reason. You know. It seems like she's
26:20
Speaker 1: up for an adventure, so that's great. Oh my gosh,
26:32
Speaker 1: that was so cute when they played limbo.
26:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was really cute. You know.
26:37
Speaker 3: I gotta say one more about the entrances before we
26:39
Speaker 3: get past them. One person that I thought was going
26:42
Speaker 3: to go very far, and then I realized I didn't
26:44
Speaker 3: pick them, but upon seeing them was Lisa.
26:48
Speaker 2: Lisa who was from Ohio and she.
26:53
Speaker 1: Had a floral dress on.
26:55
Speaker 3: Yes, she was like so cute and she came in
26:57
Speaker 3: She's like, oh my god, all these beautiful women and
26:59
Speaker 3: you're soulccomplished it.
27:00
Speaker 2: I work at a park and it.
27:02
Speaker 3: Was like, I was like, oh my god, this woman
27:04
Speaker 3: is going to go so far. And I didn't pick her? Yeah,
27:08
Speaker 3: and I really Then I watched back one of the
27:10
Speaker 3: previous that they played yesterday, and she's like gorgeous in
27:13
Speaker 3: this green dress, and I'm like, how did I not
27:14
Speaker 3: pick her?
27:15
Speaker 1: Like she'll be on a Bachelor in Paradise or whatever
27:18
Speaker 1: they do if they bring them on. I think she's
27:20
Speaker 1: adorable and I love her like quirkiness that she was
27:23
Speaker 1: kind of like she's kind of like Lisa Kudrou and friends,
27:27
Speaker 1: like you know, like I don't know at least that's
27:30
Speaker 1: how she came across to me, but I think she
27:33
Speaker 1: was really endearing.
27:34
Speaker 2: I did too.
27:35
Speaker 3: I thought she was adorable and I when I when,
27:38
Speaker 3: you know, not to spoil anything, but yeah, I was shocked.
27:40
Speaker 2: Let's just say that, so.
27:41
Speaker 1: We are spoiling everything. I am like, no, we are,
27:45
Speaker 1: this is the whole purpose where we cap okay so
27:50
Speaker 1: or Jerry and mel. I really loved the fact that
27:53
Speaker 1: she shared that that note with him took from her
27:57
Speaker 1: daughter and then and then moving on to the next episode,
28:01
Speaker 1: and we'll obviously fast forward a little bit. But Cindy
28:05
Speaker 1: when he shared the video with her of her daughter
28:09
Speaker 1: getting hired by Diana Ross and crazy, Oh that was
28:12
Speaker 1: so sweet. I love those personal moments like that. Those
28:17
Speaker 1: are really important, I feel like in the process, especially
28:20
Speaker 1: in those moments.
28:21
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, with Mel's history, right, growing up
28:23
Speaker 3: in the in Detroit, which, by the way, finally another
28:26
Speaker 3: Detroit Bachelor.
28:27
Speaker 2: It's taken a week.
28:29
Speaker 3: But growing up in the city Detroit and living across
28:32
Speaker 3: the alleyway from Diana Ross, I mean, how crazy is that?
28:35
Speaker 1: Crazy? Yeah, and the connection and you know, I'm all
28:38
Speaker 1: about signs. Like when Ryan and I went to Lakita
28:41
Speaker 1: and we saw three different weddings, I was like, Okay,
28:45
Speaker 1: there's something to this. I think there might be something
28:48
Speaker 1: to that too. So when I saw that, I'm like, yeah, Sidney.
28:50
Speaker 2: Go Cidy. I can't believe I didn't keep Cindy longer.
28:54
Speaker 2: And now I'm so upset with my bracket.
28:56
Speaker 1: Oh no, I mean, who knows what's going to happen.
28:59
Speaker 1: But okay, so Jerry gets the first impression Rose. But
29:02
Speaker 1: as I said, when you picked Jerry to be in
29:05
Speaker 1: final four Fantasy Suits or wherever you how long.
29:08
Speaker 2: However, I have her in hometowns.
29:09
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I think if we look at statistics
29:14
Speaker 1: that the person who gets the first impression Rows usually
29:17
Speaker 1: is not the one that they pick at the end.
29:19
Speaker 1: I don't know why that is.
29:21
Speaker 3: Yes, you're right, And it's funny because the second she
29:24
Speaker 3: got the first impression Rows, I was like.
29:27
Speaker 2: I might have just screwed my home. Oh really, It's
29:30
Speaker 2: like it's like when Duke.
29:32
Speaker 3: It's like when Duke upset Michigan State in the first round,
29:34
Speaker 3: and I had Michigan State going all the way, I'm like, oh,
29:35
Speaker 3: a bracketbuster right there. I don't know, but it sure
29:39
Speaker 3: felt that way. In that moment, I was like, they
29:42
Speaker 3: never go the.
29:42
Speaker 1: Distance, you know, totally okay. So the people who got
29:46
Speaker 1: eliminated there were six ladies, Maya, who shockingly is the youngest.
29:53
Speaker 1: She was I think, what was she fifty eight? How
29:57
Speaker 1: old was she? She's fifty eight, so she was the
30:02
Speaker 1: youngest at fifty eight, and I mean dropped at gorgeous
30:07
Speaker 1: and lives in Malibu. So that was a little shocking.
30:11
Speaker 1: But who you never know what happens, and if there's no.
30:15
Speaker 2: Like no connection made.
30:17
Speaker 1: Chemistry, connection whatever. Andra who went home? Who is Sandra's
30:24
Speaker 1: twin sister. I love Sandra. She has the best sense
30:28
Speaker 1: of humor. And I thought for sure that the producers
30:32
Speaker 1: would at least if he didn't want to keep her,
30:34
Speaker 1: that they would say, we're going to keep her at
30:36
Speaker 1: least just one week, one more week so she gets
30:38
Speaker 1: more airtime or whatever.
30:40
Speaker 2: Yeah.
30:41
Speaker 1: So I was shocked about Andra.
30:43
Speaker 2: I was too.
30:44
Speaker 1: And then we've got Lily, Lisa, Tracy, and Susie.
30:49
Speaker 2: Okay. I thought Lily, Lily and Lisa I thought would
30:53
Speaker 2: go longer for sure. I was surprised.
30:56
Speaker 1: Oh, Lisa was the cutie pie, like Lisa kudrou Oh, yeah,
31:00
Speaker 1: that's funny. Her name is Lisa.
31:01
Speaker 2: See there.
31:02
Speaker 1: Oh I had her at Rose Ceremony three, not leaving
31:05
Speaker 1: the first night.
31:07
Speaker 3: Ye, yes, yeah, I would have. I'm shocked I didn't
31:12
Speaker 3: have Lisa. I didn't have Lisa making it. And I'm
31:15
Speaker 3: really shocked I didn't because when I when she came
31:19
Speaker 3: out of the screen, I'm like, oh my god, she's
31:21
Speaker 3: gonna be she's gonna be tough to be.
31:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's cute. Okay, So the ladies come in the
31:27
Speaker 1: next day into the mansion and they're so excited, and
31:31
Speaker 1: I love how excited they are. It took me back
31:34
Speaker 1: to when I went to like surprise the ladies on
31:39
Speaker 1: first season of Golden and they were just so cute
31:42
Speaker 1: and excited. I was like, this is I love this energy.
31:45
Speaker 1: They just love being here.
31:46
Speaker 3: I'll guarantee they have you back this season. They're going
31:49
Speaker 3: to have to if they haven't.
31:50
Speaker 1: No, they're not. I think they're already done.
31:52
Speaker 2: Oh you're kidding.
31:53
Speaker 1: I don't. I mean, I don't know, but they're not
31:55
Speaker 1: having me back. I don't think. So I would love to,
31:58
Speaker 1: I mean I would that please.
32:01
Speaker 2: Yeah.
32:02
Speaker 1: Okay, So the ladies enter the mansion very excited, and
32:05
Speaker 1: he says, Jesse comes in. There's two dates, one one
32:08
Speaker 1: on one and one huge group date. Obviously the one
32:12
Speaker 1: on one is very coveted, and it turns out to
32:16
Speaker 1: be the princess date right out the gate, which I
32:19
Speaker 1: was like, they've never done that before. I don't think
32:23
Speaker 1: rolls Royce jewelry, a gorgeous gown. I did. I thought
32:27
Speaker 1: it was really really cute that as Cheryl's getting dressed,
32:31
Speaker 1: she had a few women there like kind of like
32:33
Speaker 1: cheering her on and saying, oh, that's the one I
32:37
Speaker 1: wondered how they picked those girls, like are those girls
32:40
Speaker 1: that she's hanging out with, or are those girls that
32:42
Speaker 1: they're like, you know, you three come with us or whatever?
32:45
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
32:46
Speaker 3: I always i'd be interested to know that too, because
32:49
Speaker 3: first of all, they seemed, you know, and this is
32:52
Speaker 3: what I love about the Golden Franchise. They seemed genuinely
32:56
Speaker 3: excited for her, like there was right, no, there was
32:59
Speaker 3: no you know, acrimonious type of you know, it was like.
33:03
Speaker 2: You look at me.
33:04
Speaker 3: And I loved her reaction to the whole thing. And
33:06
Speaker 3: this is before we did we know her story yet
33:09
Speaker 3: I think we must have hit this.
33:10
Speaker 1: We did it on that on the one on one
33:13
Speaker 1: when they were yeah, and.
33:13
Speaker 3: It was just like, oh my god, she's And I
33:16
Speaker 3: even thought to myself, I'm like, you never put on
33:18
Speaker 3: a couple dresses like what you know what and the
33:20
Speaker 3: in her story then when you oh my god, then
33:23
Speaker 3: when you hear her story, it's like.
33:26
Speaker 2: I know, I just my heart, I mean, I just yeah.
33:29
Speaker 3: It made me really really love her and feel like, man,
33:34
Speaker 3: they they really they really knocked it out of the
33:36
Speaker 3: park with giving her the Princess date, because I think
33:38
Speaker 3: that she had never had that experience and now she
33:41
Speaker 3: was having it.
33:42
Speaker 2: And you know, even if she.
33:44
Speaker 3: Goes home at some point sooner than she wants to,
33:47
Speaker 3: if our brackets are wrong, which they might, they might be,
33:50
Speaker 3: because she could be.
33:51
Speaker 2: Someone pretty special for this whole show.
33:53
Speaker 3: But I just think I think that reaction was so
33:56
Speaker 3: genuine and so I loved it.
34:00
Speaker 1: I know the fact that she was crying over it.
34:01
Speaker 1: This is just so sweet. And then we have the
34:04
Speaker 1: cheerleading date in the Colisseum, which is really cool because
34:08
Speaker 1: he played football there. Uh and it's so funny. I
34:12
Speaker 1: was watching it in our kitchen on my phone as
34:15
Speaker 1: like Ryan's doing something in the background and I was like, oh,
34:19
Speaker 1: I totally know who this is gonna be, and I'm
34:22
Speaker 1: like shooting it out. He's like, what is going on
34:23
Speaker 1: with you? I know I wasn't, but I don't think
34:30
Speaker 1: he was paying attention to me. So I love that
34:33
Speaker 1: Paul Abdul he came on for the cheerleading date. That is,
34:36
Speaker 1: she's so iconic in that space, so perfect, and I
34:41
Speaker 1: do oh, I do have to say there is one
34:44
Speaker 1: lady who, especially on this date, I loved her amy,
34:50
Speaker 1: her energy, She's the one with the two twin girls.
34:54
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, who held up.
34:56
Speaker 1: The like sign? Always my she's always like she just

Speaker 3: Well, you're girl, Cindy. That's when we find out las
35:21
Speaker 3: Mavericks cheerleader. I don't even think that had come up previously,

Speaker 3: her original tagline or anything.
35:27
Speaker 1: It wasn't nope, nope, it all of.
35:29
Speaker 3: A sudden it comes up. I also thought, yeah, peg

36:02
Speaker 2: I love her any Her.
36:04
Speaker 1: Sense of humor is like, she was good with the
36:07

36:10
Speaker 1: you know, longer in the show. But yeah, I loved her.
36:13
Speaker 2: Too, you know.
36:15
Speaker 3: So she her hair cut and this is please for
36:18
Speaker 3: anyone listening, understand I'm going to say. I say this
36:20
Speaker 3: in the most flattering of ways. Okay, she reminds me
36:24
Speaker 3: so much of my grandma that passed away, you know,
36:28
Speaker 3: many several years ago. But my grandma was gonna be
36:30
Speaker 3: with me on my hometown dates on The Bachelor when
36:33
Speaker 3: we came home, and I was so excited and my
36:35
Speaker 3: grandma was so excited to be on television. And she
36:38
Speaker 3: fell down and got a huge cut on her face
36:43
Speaker 3: the week of filming and yeah, like it literally like
36:47
Speaker 3: slipped and fell. I don't know if she tripped over
36:49
Speaker 3: her dog or something, and so she wasn't she was there,
36:52
Speaker 3: but she wasn't on camera at all because she was
36:53
Speaker 3: too embarrassed.
36:54
Speaker 2: And I'm like, Grandma, you still look beautiful, you know.
36:56
Speaker 3: But she had that kind of a fun, you know,
36:59
Speaker 3: personality where she just say she was from Pennsylvania. And
37:01
Speaker 3: I don't know why, but whenever I meet people from Alaska.
37:03
Speaker 3: It makes me think of Pennsylvania.
37:04
Speaker 2: I get it.
37:05
Speaker 3: I know geographically they're not even really close to one another,
37:07
Speaker 3: but for some reason it does.
37:09
Speaker 2: And I was I just like, because it's just like.
37:11
Speaker 3: An outdoor like people who grew up in those areas
37:13
Speaker 3: are like outdoorsy people, you know.
37:15
Speaker 1: And whatever, keep going.
37:17
Speaker 2: She's got her Alaskan thing going on. She said, what
37:18
Speaker 2: the fuck is wrong with you?
37:19
Speaker 3: You know, I'm like, what, Yes, I just thought it
37:21
Speaker 3: was funny and she reminded me of my grandma, and
37:24
Speaker 3: so I wanted her to go farther.
37:26
Speaker 2: But I mean there, You're right.
37:28
Speaker 3: She was so quirky and funny and just doing silly
37:30
Speaker 3: stuff and making everybody laugh.
37:32
Speaker 2: And you know, it was she is. She's adorable.
37:35
Speaker 1: She is adorable. And then we have the rose at
37:41
Speaker 1: that after party date because I think it was Mel's
37:45
Speaker 1: GB Girls or something like that.
37:47
Speaker 2: GB. And why did they never talk to me?
37:48
Speaker 1: Bachelor? Oh yeah, it takes you a while. I'm very
37:55
Speaker 1: embarrassed for you, but that's.
37:57
Speaker 3: I asked that, do you know? I wrote that down
38:00
Speaker 3: last night? Like what the hell is Gboway?
38:05
Speaker 1: So like me, Bob, go get your brain checked just

Speaker 1: like me, because oh, I'm worried about mine. Okay. So
38:12
Speaker 1: they win the cheerleading date and they get the after party,
38:16
Speaker 1: and then they go to the after party and they
38:17
Speaker 1: have these great conversations. Cindy especially that's when he shared
38:21
Speaker 1: with her his daughter's or her daughter's little video that

Speaker 2: But the ladies all looked amazing, every single one.
40:37
Speaker 1: Of them, and amazing.
40:39
Speaker 3: What I love about this age is the confidence, you
40:42
Speaker 3: know what I mean? So like even if they maybe
40:45
Speaker 3: they don't look amazing, but they all do ps But
40:50
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter.
40:51
Speaker 2: They're there.
40:51
Speaker 3: They're there, they know who they are. They're comfortable in
40:54
Speaker 3: their skin. If he doesn't like it, you know, screw him,
40:57
Speaker 3: right or whatever. Yeah, And I love that. And they
40:59
Speaker 3: were there was a lot of girl.
41:01
Speaker 2: Power out there, a lot of them.
41:03
Speaker 3: They were very supportive of one another, having the time
41:06
Speaker 3: of their lives, dancing like crazy people.
41:08
Speaker 2: It was It was a fun episode. It was very fun.
41:10
Speaker 1: It was really fun. The only part and we know
41:14
Speaker 1: who are villain is gonna be this season. It was
41:18
Speaker 1: Nicole in the pool with her hands and her lips
41:22
Speaker 1: and everything all over him. And I think at one
41:25
Speaker 1: point one point he actually said we should wait. So
41:29
Speaker 1: was that in the pool? Yeah, He's like, maybe this
41:31
Speaker 1: isn't right to do here, maybe we should ease up
41:34
Speaker 1: a little bit.
41:34
Speaker 3: Well, one of the ladies I loved one of the comments.
41:36
Speaker 3: I don't even know who set up, but they go,
41:38
Speaker 3: Nicole jumps in and she's climbing them like a tree.
41:40
Speaker 2: I thought that was pretty that it.
41:41
Speaker 1: Was Cindy, I think I think that was Cindy. And
41:44
Speaker 1: then Terry, I think was the one who was commenting
41:47
Speaker 1: on She's like, hey, look over there, look at what
41:51
Speaker 1: he's doing. I'm not cool with that. You know, I
41:55
Speaker 1: wouldn't be either. I didn't think it was really appropriate
41:58
Speaker 1: it much, you know. I mean, I get it that
42:01
Speaker 1: she's like, I got to shoot my shot, but do
42:03
Speaker 1: you really like in that way? Like I feel like.
42:09
Speaker 3: As a former kissing bandit on the show, Yes, I
42:12
Speaker 3: will say this, I did not ever do that in
42:14
Speaker 3: front of a group of ladies. Like, yes, I kissed
42:17
Speaker 3: a lot of people, there's no question, but it was
42:19
Speaker 3: always when we were off somewhere by ourselves or I
42:22
Speaker 3: wasn't ever macing on somebody in front of the crew,
42:24
Speaker 3: you know. And yeah, if you remember from your season
42:27
Speaker 3: of The Bachelor Bachelrette and we even talked about this
42:28
Speaker 3: when Jamie Blythe was on the show and when Ryan
42:30
Speaker 3: and I have done the show together, I was like, guys,
42:33
Speaker 3: think about her, like your sister, do you really want
42:36
Speaker 3: four dudes watching you guys try to make out. No
42:39
Speaker 3: one wants to see that, like, and I remember Jamie Blitz, like.
42:45
Speaker 1: And by the way, you just said that you told
42:47
Speaker 1: everyone to think I was their sister.
42:49
Speaker 2: Oh god, you know, it does sound terrible.
42:57
Speaker 1: Anyway anyway, So okay, so what I what I take
43:17
Speaker 1: away from that is, you know, either and she kind
43:21
Speaker 1: of said this, like it's time with him, so get
43:25
Speaker 1: out of my way. I've always felt that's a little disrespectful,
43:30
Speaker 1: like respect the rest of the people in the room,
43:33
Speaker 1: but it's a two lane highway, so he is also
43:39
Speaker 1: part of it. And I feel like he probably should
43:42
Speaker 1: have like backed off a little bit earlier and said, hey,
43:47
Speaker 1: let's maybe let's can we go talk somewhere else.
43:50
Speaker 2: Or so let's take a walk around the corner or something.
43:53
Speaker 1: Yes, like somethings so it's not in everyone's faces, and
43:57
Speaker 1: not disrespect Nicole because she didn't just or that, but
44:00
Speaker 1: at the same time, like maybe say let's let's go
44:05
Speaker 1: somewhere where it's a little more private.
44:07
Speaker 2: Totally agree.
44:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, I felt like that was a bad look, you know,
44:12
Speaker 3: And yeah, I get it. It's a it's a weird
44:14
Speaker 3: situation to be in when totally someone just walks up
44:17
Speaker 3: and starts making out with you, and you do want
44:20
Speaker 3: to let them know you're interested, but at the same time,
44:22
Speaker 3: you are in front of a bunch of other people
44:23
Speaker 3: you need to show respect to. So it's a tough
44:26
Speaker 3: spot to be in for sure. But you know, he
44:28
Speaker 3: got it eventually, he got he got the memo.
44:31
Speaker 2: Eventually, it just took him at Okay.
44:34
Speaker 1: So we get to the Rose ceremony and the people
44:38
Speaker 1: that went home are my leans. She was the Vegas
44:43
Speaker 1: Model service I think, yeah, VIP host and then which
44:48
Speaker 1: I thought is amazing. At her age, she's still partying
44:51
Speaker 1: at the Vegas like in the Vegas scene.
44:54
Speaker 2: I was like, Wow, that's crazy. It amazing crazy.
44:58
Speaker 1: Ashley and Ben will be sad about my They had
45:01
Speaker 1: her going far oh you know what I actually did
45:04
Speaker 1: in the beginning, like right away, and then I was like,
45:09
Speaker 1: I don't know if Vegas is like his scene, I don't,
45:13
Speaker 1: you know, like more like the location. I kind of
45:19
Speaker 1: honed in on that, and then yeah, I thought I
45:25
Speaker 1: would have her going a little bit farther, but I didn't. Anyway,
45:29
Speaker 1: she went home, unfortunately, and then Diane, who I was
45:32
Speaker 1: so sad, but she was See. This is why I
45:35
Speaker 1: love her too, is that she was leaving and like
45:38
Speaker 1: one of them, Carla, who gosh, she's gorgeous too. Carlo
45:42
Speaker 1: walked up and she like didn't even give him a hug,
45:46
Speaker 1: and I'm like, you know, it's all good, don't give
45:48
Speaker 1: him a hug. But I loved that. Diane was like
45:50
Speaker 1: sweet about it. She was like, oh, thank you so much,
45:53
Speaker 1: mel you know.
45:54
Speaker 3: What I mean, Like, you know what I feel like,
45:57
Speaker 3: it says so much more about that person in the moment.
46:01
Speaker 3: Like I say this to my kids all the time
46:02
Speaker 3: when they're disappointed in something and I'm like, hey, it's
46:05
Speaker 3: not that person's fault, right, It's like, yeah, it doesn't,
46:09
Speaker 3: you know. I mean I'm talking about everything from you know,
46:11
Speaker 3: your your buddy's scoring a goal on you in soccer
46:13
Speaker 3: to whatever.
46:14
Speaker 2: Right, But it's always like, you know, be gracious.
46:17
Speaker 3: Because you never know, you never know what's going to happen,
46:20
Speaker 3: and you never know what that person's going through, and
46:22
Speaker 3: you know, God forbid, you might have reminded him of
46:24
Speaker 3: his ex wife and we don't know what she likes.
46:25
Speaker 2: I mean, you never know.
46:26
Speaker 3: You know, there's a bunch of things out there and
46:28
Speaker 3: I mean, but yeah, kind of interesting that that that
46:31
Speaker 3: kind of unfolded the way it did. I was shocked
46:33
Speaker 3: at a couple of those as well. I did think
46:36
Speaker 3: at that point that that she'd be going home, Diane
46:41
Speaker 3: would be on home, because I felt like that that
46:45
Speaker 3: whole thing with Nicole for whatever reason, and maybe it's
46:47
Speaker 3: because I do feel like Diane looks like my grandma.
46:49
Speaker 2: And I don't know why I'm thinking this way.
46:51
Speaker 3: I felt like she was probably like disappointed in Mel
46:54
Speaker 3: for the pool makeout sash, you know, and so she
46:56
Speaker 3: was probably like, I'm good to go home. You know,
46:59
Speaker 3: this is you know, but I but again, I think
47:02
Speaker 3: it's prejudice in my mind, you know.
47:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, So we get at the end, after the rose ceremony,
47:09
Speaker 1: of course, we get previous They are my favorite thing.
47:11
Speaker 1: Like when I go to a movie, I love the
47:13
Speaker 1: previews me too, even though they go on forever these days,
47:17
Speaker 1: I'm like, I do love a good previews. So I
47:21
Speaker 1: love the previews. And there are a lot of times,
47:23
Speaker 1: not even just for this, that I'm pausing.
47:25
Speaker 3: It in like, yeah, are they making out wearing the
47:30
Speaker 3: same shirt?
47:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, So it seems like Nicole maybe causing a little
47:37
Speaker 1: bit more attension with being physical with him. There is
47:41
Speaker 1: lots there is lots of crying. There are lots of
47:44
Speaker 1: There is lots of crying.
47:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, there is lots of crying. There's a lot of.
47:50
Speaker 1: And then I am so sad, so case in point
47:53
Speaker 1: that I'm not going to be asked to be on
47:55
Speaker 1: the season. I know in Debbie's footage where she was
48:00
Speaker 1: kissing him that they're at Red Rocks, which is like
48:03
Speaker 1: a like a very famous, yes, a very famous location
48:08
Speaker 1: for concerts, and I did not get asked. So case
48:12
Speaker 1: in point, I will not be asked to be on
48:13
Speaker 1: the season, sadly, but I love that Susan and Kathy
48:18
Speaker 1: are there for a pillow you too. Susan and Kathy
48:21
Speaker 1: make the world better, they do. What else happened? Oh yes,
48:28
Speaker 1: he did have a ring at the end. That doesn't
48:32
Speaker 1: always mean that there's an engagement, But he.
48:34
Speaker 3: Also says I think I think something to the effect
48:37
Speaker 3: of I'm ready.
48:39
Speaker 2: I just hope she is or something.
48:41
Speaker 3: So I'm interested about that, you know, because this could be,
48:47
Speaker 3: this could be your Debbie thing, this could be you know,
48:49
Speaker 3: because she's never been married. But yeah, and then there's
48:54
Speaker 3: another scene where he's talking to where he's talking to
48:56
Speaker 3: Jesse bless you.
48:58
Speaker 2: Where's another scene where.
48:59
Speaker 3: He's talking to Jessie and he says she left, She's gone,
49:04
Speaker 3: and Jesse goes, but I know she's still on the property, right,
49:07
Speaker 3: so interested to find out what that's all about.
49:09
Speaker 1: That's gonna be too because you know, that's what happened
49:13
Speaker 1: with Joan during Gary season where she had to go
49:17
Speaker 1: home because her daughter had just had a baby and
49:20
Speaker 1: she needed her. I wonder if it's something like that,
49:23
Speaker 1: like a family emergency or Colton season.
49:28
Speaker 2: What happened during Colton season is when the girl he
49:31
Speaker 2: ended up.
49:32
Speaker 1: With, Grassi decided Gassie decided to leave. Yes, you're right.
49:36
Speaker 3: To this day, she is one of my big crushes
49:39
Speaker 3: of the whole franchise. Like I've always said that, like
49:41
Speaker 3: I've always been.
49:42
Speaker 2: Like she was so cute and seemed she.
49:44
Speaker 3: Didn't need it.
49:45
Speaker 1: Obviously watch Yellowstone, Oh yeah.
49:47
Speaker 2: Her sister is my favorite part of that. And I
49:51
Speaker 2: love The oil Man. She's now on The oil Man
49:53
Speaker 2: with Billy Bob Dorton.
49:56
Speaker 3: Yeah man, sorry, The oil Manchow.
50:03
Speaker 1: Yeah with Billy Bob. He's amazing. I love that show.
50:06
Speaker 1: And I met her in Veil randomly, and I was
50:11
Speaker 1: I had to go up and say hi, because I you.
50:14
Speaker 2: Know, well the connections there too.
50:16
Speaker 1: Well you're there and I'm a huge fan.
50:17
Speaker 2: Yeah.
50:18
Speaker 1: So yes, the fence. I remember the fence. I will say.
50:24
Speaker 1: I've said it before. Ryan was the one to jump
50:27
Speaker 1: the fence first. He wasn't the one to actually jump
50:31
Speaker 1: the fence on camera, but he left on the final
50:36
Speaker 1: Rose ceremony day and they couldn't find him, so he escaped. Yes,
50:44
Speaker 1: And I'm like everyone's getting all like up in arms
50:47
Speaker 1: about Colton jumping the fence and like Ryan did that
50:50
Speaker 1: a long time ago.
50:51
Speaker 2: And he probably did it with all due respect.
50:53
Speaker 3: He probably did it without even touching a single spoke
50:56
Speaker 3: on that fence.
50:56
Speaker 1: No, No, Colton is an athlete too, but yeah, Ryan's
51:00
Speaker 1: any level. Okay, So do you think that he'll get engaged.
51:04
Speaker 2: I think he will propose.
51:06
Speaker 3: The way the show went last night had me kind
51:09
Speaker 3: of wondering, you know how this ends.
51:10
Speaker 2: Like, I think he will propose. I truly do, And
51:14
Speaker 2: I think.
51:15
Speaker 3: I hope that whoever he proposes to says yes, because
51:19
Speaker 3: I feel like Mel's different than Gary, and I don't
51:22
Speaker 3: mean that in a negative way towards that guy. I
51:24
Speaker 3: just feel like, you know, you you kind of see
51:27
Speaker 3: the carnage from a season that that doesn't work out right,
51:32
Speaker 3: and so you realize, Okay, I'm not doing anything if
51:36
Speaker 3: I don't really feel it right, because clearly they went
51:39
Speaker 3: through some stuff and it was public and wow, it's ugly, right,
51:42
Speaker 3: And it is ugly. I mean, it's terrible when anyone
51:44
Speaker 3: gets divorced, but especially when it's televised and you know
51:47
Speaker 3: it happens in a month. It's like, what the hell
51:49
Speaker 3: you guys didn't know that leading into it. But I
51:51
Speaker 3: feel like that the fact that he's younger, you know,
51:54
Speaker 3: he's only sixty six, which I think is I mean,
51:57
Speaker 3: that's only twelve years older than me. So I don't
51:59
Speaker 3: feel like that's that isn't that crazy? I don't feel
52:02
Speaker 3: like that it's crazy. So and I feel like a
52:05
Speaker 3: lot of these women have genuinely surprised him and and
52:09
Speaker 3: frankly surprised me. I mean watching the show, like the
52:11
Speaker 3: one thing I have said to you about this before,
52:13
Speaker 3: and I love this. No stunt casting they have, they
52:16
Speaker 3: are age appropriate cast, and it's so it really is
52:19
Speaker 3: genuinely people who get each other and they're not just
52:21
Speaker 3: going for the hot young thing, right, and I think
52:24
Speaker 3: that that's going to be something that will be very interesting.
52:29
Speaker 3: Geographic location plays a big part of this, which we
52:31
Speaker 3: have learned from watching as people are older and along
52:33
Speaker 3: in the in their in their lives, so that I
52:36
Speaker 3: think will factor into it. But I think also probably
52:39
Speaker 3: the realization that hey, we don't have to get married.
52:42
Speaker 2: It's not like, so, why don't.
52:44
Speaker 3: We just engaged be engaged for the rest of our
52:46
Speaker 3: lives and that's all we need to do.
52:48
Speaker 2: You know?
52:48
Speaker 1: And I think so too. I think there will be
52:50
Speaker 1: an engagement. And you made me think of something you said,
52:54
Speaker 1: you know what happened after Gary season. That's assuming that
52:59
Speaker 1: he watched the show and he knows what happened during Gears.
53:02
Speaker 1: I don't know if you watch the show. I haven't heard,
53:05
Speaker 1: Like I know, he's done some press leading up that's
53:08
Speaker 1: kind of what got him in trouble. But yeah, I
53:11
Speaker 1: would love to know if he watched the first Golden
53:15
Speaker 1: Bachelor and what he thought and if he learned anything
53:18
Speaker 1: from it going into his filming. Oh, yes, that's true.
53:21
Speaker 1: Joan and Chalk they are living separately, but they but
53:25
Speaker 1: they do. They do have an agreement. I think of
53:29
Speaker 1: sorts where they spend a lot of time at each
53:32
Speaker 1: other's houses. So it's not like way to go. They
53:34
Speaker 1: were made to move, you know, like it's the way
53:37
Speaker 1: to go.
53:38
Speaker 2: I think at that stage in the game, why would
53:41
Speaker 2: you do anything else? Like, you know, Joan and I even.
53:43
Speaker 3: Talked about it when we were together at an event
53:45
Speaker 3: one time, and I had said, and and Chalk and
53:48
Speaker 3: I have talked about it too.
53:49
Speaker 2: Afterwards. I was like, is there any rush?
53:52
Speaker 3: He's like, what's the rush? We're having a great time.
53:54
Speaker 3: We love each other's company, we love each other's family.
53:57
Speaker 3: I love visiting her, she loves visiting me.
53:58
Speaker 2: It's great.
53:59
Speaker 3: And it's like, at that age, why would you push
54:01
Speaker 3: the envelope? Like you got this perfect thing going. Neither
54:04
Speaker 3: one of you want to be away from your kids
54:06
Speaker 3: or your grandkids. Yeah, why make one person suffer? It
54:10
Speaker 3: just doesn't make sense, you know, totally.
54:12
Speaker 2: Yeah.
54:13
Speaker 3: I hope they go to Jon and Chalk route. And
54:14
Speaker 3: I hope that because I feel like Joan Chok should
54:17
Speaker 3: be considered a major success from the franchise because they
54:21
Speaker 3: are very in love. Like when you're with them, it's
54:23
Speaker 3: it's the real deal. That's that's like being with you
54:25
Speaker 3: and Ryan. It's the same thing. It's like you see
54:27
Speaker 3: that same type of chemistry, very similar personality makeups. By
54:33
Speaker 3: the way, I mean, Chock's not as affable as Ryan
54:36
Speaker 3: in my mind, because I know Ryan's so much better.
54:38
Speaker 3: But it's like Joan's the one out there, the cute,
54:40
Speaker 3: bubbly blonde and just talking away. And then you know
54:43
Speaker 3: Ryan and chalk Aer in the background with Canyon, you know,
54:48
Speaker 3: to so funny.
54:50
Speaker 1: For everybody and everyone in this place. Okay, well this
54:54
Speaker 1: was fun. I'm really excited. I hope you all are watching.
54:57
Speaker 1: I know you don't have to watch because we do this.
54:59
Speaker 1: We to be doing this recap or Ashley and Ben
55:02
Speaker 1: will be doing the recap. But it's going to be
55:04
Speaker 1: a great season. Yes, Wednesday Night's on ABC.
55:09
Speaker 2: I think it's a big comeback. Don't call it a comeback.
55:11
Speaker 2: We've been here for years, but it could be a
55:13
Speaker 2: big comeback season.
55:14
Speaker 1: I like literally started doing the dance.
55:16
Speaker 2: Don't call it a comeback.
55:19
Speaker 3: Okay, Christ always a pleasure, my friend. Thank you guys
55:22
Speaker 3: for listening to watching us. We appreciate you all and
55:25
Speaker 3: make sure you keep following almost famous.
55:27
Speaker 1: Don't chuck everybody,
