- 0:56Speaker 1: what's going and thanks for driving up from San Diego.
- 1:00Speaker 1: Every time it's a it's a pleasure to have you
- 1:03Speaker 1: in studio. We're super excited to talk about this week's episode.
- 1:07Speaker 1: It feels like this season of the Bachelorette doesn't disappoint,
- 1:11Speaker 1: even though I'll just start out right now and we're
- 1:14Speaker 1: not gonna get into until later. I would say last
- 1:16Speaker 1: night's episode very easily could have disappointed and probably did
- 1:20Speaker 1: disappoint a lot of fans, especially with half the show
- 1:23Speaker 1: just being you know, Hannah and Chris. It's no secret
- 1:26Speaker 1: they needed a filler and that was it. But before
- 1:29Speaker 1: we get in the show, I am sitting here. I
- 1:33Speaker 1: just got back from Sean boost Jim in Nashville, Tennessee. Guys. Actually,
- 1:38Speaker 1: I've been with you quite a bit here recently. You know,
- 1:40Speaker 1: I've been trying to get in the shape and really
- 1:41Speaker 1: trying hard to eat right, drink less, work out more.
- 1:45Speaker 1: And it was the most humbling of experiences that I
- 1:49Speaker 1: I mean, I was, I'm dead like be it's sad
- 1:52Speaker 1: it's your first time working out there. Yeah, it's my
- 1:55Speaker 1: first time working out there. And Heather and actually I
- 1:58Speaker 1: don't know how you feel about this, but as good
- 2:00Speaker 1: as good as shape as I'm in, whenever I get
- 2:03Speaker 1: around people that are in better shape, it just kind
- 2:05Speaker 1: of like defeats me because I look at them and
- 2:08Speaker 1: they have muscles popping out of places that I there's
- 2:11Speaker 1: no possibility that I could ever have muscle there um,
- 2:15Speaker 1: and then they're always hairless. I feel like all the
- 2:16Speaker 1: guys that are superjected are always hairless. How is that?
- 2:19Speaker 1: And I don't think it's natural. Yeah, it's definitely not natural.
- 2:22Speaker 1: They're like shave it so that the muscles pop even more.
- 2:25Speaker 1: I mean, could you imagine like having a hairy chest
- 2:27Speaker 1: like you and having like an eight pack, and then
- 2:30Speaker 1: and then like the hair hiding the everything that you've
- 2:33Speaker 1: worked so hard for. I have an eight pack underneath
- 2:36Speaker 1: there already, haven't. You and Jared are very proud of
- 2:40Speaker 1: your hairy chests. I like that though. Yeah, I think
- 2:43Speaker 1: long term it's gonna be better for me. It would
- 2:46Speaker 1: be weird if Ben Higgins had like a shave signy. Yeah. Man,
- 2:52Speaker 1: you know, you're like a full grown man. You're not
- 2:54Speaker 1: like trying. You're not selling yourself with your body. Yeah,
- 2:56Speaker 1: there you go. I don't want to do that. You know.
- 2:58Speaker 1: One thing I've always said, I want to hear your
- 3:00Speaker 1: thoughts on this. Ashley's got to hear me, and the
- 3:02Speaker 1: listeners got to hear me quite a bit. I have
- 3:04Speaker 1: a theory that if I start at a young age
- 3:07Speaker 1: enjoying the things that I'll have to enjoy at an
- 3:08Speaker 1: older age, like a hairy chest or like um, I
- 3:11Speaker 1: enjoy a good bourbon in a book, or sitting in
- 3:14Speaker 1: a rocking chair on the front porch and watching the
- 3:16Speaker 1: birds or having a bird bath in the back. If
- 3:18Speaker 1: I start enjoying those things now when I'm fifty and sixty,
- 3:22Speaker 1: there ain't gonna be a let down in life. Like
- 3:23Speaker 1: I'm just gonna continue to enjoy these things. That's my
- 3:26Speaker 1: That's been my strategy for a while. So far, it's working.
- 3:29Speaker 1: Some claim that will catch up with me. What if
- 3:31Speaker 1: you switch and like later on you get worth with
- 3:33Speaker 1: that and you want to go into the other life,
- 3:34Speaker 1: you know, which is like what clubbing? Yeah, that would
- 3:37Speaker 1: be awesome. I would be the six year old at
- 3:42Speaker 1: the club with the slick back. I'm not there's always
- 3:44Speaker 1: one that's really funny. Ben'll like his tattoos out and
- 3:49Speaker 1: some leather. I mean he's got tattoos. I got. I
- 3:52Speaker 1: got a good tattoo down my side. It's a Bible verse.
- 3:55Speaker 1: So I don't know how that's gonna treat me if
- 3:57Speaker 1: if I'm trying to go out to the club and
- 3:59Speaker 1: buy it high people drinks. But anyways, life is good.
- 4:02Speaker 1: I'm in Nashville to see right now with with Jess.
- 4:05Speaker 1: It is her birthday on the NINTE that's tomorrow. Happy birthday, Jesse.
- 4:11Speaker 1: I got to meet her for the first time this weekend.
- 4:13Speaker 1: She's so lovely and watching the two of you together
- 4:16Speaker 1: and your smile on your face looking at her is
- 4:19Speaker 1: I could really watch it all day. It's so freaking cute.
- 4:24Speaker 1: You know. You said something to me and then Jared
- 4:26Speaker 1: did as well. Um, we got to spend some time
- 4:30Speaker 1: together just taking out a couples and uh, you said
- 4:34Speaker 1: that when when she talks, I admire her and I talk,
- 4:38Speaker 1: she is admiring me. And I mentioned that to Jess,
- 4:41Speaker 1: and I don't think either of us recognized it, but
- 4:43Speaker 1: there is just a really amazing uh I guess encouragement
- 4:49Speaker 1: and it's like a partnership. And I really enjoy my
- 4:52Speaker 1: time with her. And it was great for you to
- 4:53Speaker 1: get to meet her, um and spend some time with her,
- 4:55Speaker 1: ash because you obviously mean so much to my life.
- 4:58Speaker 1: So yeah, we got to spend some time together hang out,
- 5:00Speaker 1: and I know that that Jess really enjoyed it. She
- 5:03Speaker 1: is definitely everything that you guys out there and I
- 5:06Speaker 1: would want for Ben Higgins. Um, your expence. Lauren Bushnell
- 5:12Speaker 1: got engaged today or she got engaged a couple of
- 5:14Speaker 1: days ago, and it was announced today to her country
- 5:17Speaker 1: boyfriend Chris Lane. Um. So congrats the happy couple. They're
- 5:22Speaker 1: such a they're so cute together. Ben. Do you have
- 5:24Speaker 1: any thoughts on this? Uh? Yeah, I mean I think
- 5:28Speaker 1: it's always I was talking to I mean, I talked
- 5:31Speaker 1: to Jess about this obviously, we were chatting and she's like,
- 5:34Speaker 1: how do you how does this make you feel? And
- 5:35Speaker 1: do you feel anything towards this? And I was just
- 5:38Speaker 1: talking to Jess. I was like, you know, I do
- 5:39Speaker 1: feel something towards it, mostly because uh as Amy and
- 5:43Speaker 1: Jess talked about a few weeks ago, like my life
- 5:45Speaker 1: will always at some level be tied to Lauren Laurence
- 5:48Speaker 1: to mind, like that's just part of it. When you're
- 5:50Speaker 1: engaged for a period of time, or when you have
- 5:52Speaker 1: a serious relationship at any point in your life, there
- 5:55Speaker 1: you have a piece of them with you, and you
- 5:58Speaker 1: know there's two ways to leave relationship. So you leave
- 6:00Speaker 1: them maybe angry and resentful, or you leave them knowing
- 6:05Speaker 1: it was for the best and that the world will
- 6:07Speaker 1: and life will offer you great things afterwards. And that's
- 6:11Speaker 1: how Lauren, I left our relationship. Quite honestly, we left
- 6:14Speaker 1: it. It It wasn't easy and it and it wasn't always clean,
- 6:17Speaker 1: and we had our our moments, and it was sad
- 6:20Speaker 1: and it was hard, and it broke my heart. And
- 6:22Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I'm sure you know some
- 6:24Speaker 1: level brokers also, but ultimately we left that relationship, both
- 6:28Speaker 1: of us. I think saying, I hope life brings you
- 6:31Speaker 1: a ton of joy, like I don't want you upset
- 6:34Speaker 1: and alone forever. I hope you find a partner as
- 6:37Speaker 1: soon as possible. I hope everything that you want in
- 6:40Speaker 1: this world, that it's healthy and good, is given to you.
- 6:43Speaker 1: And that's exactly how I feel. Um, So to go
- 6:47Speaker 1: to Lauren. Lauren, congratulations. We're thrilled for you. You found
- 6:52Speaker 1: a man that you love and that without any pressure
- 6:57Speaker 1: and in a moment, after dating for a long time, uh,
- 7:00Speaker 1: you have said yes to spending your life with him,
- 7:02Speaker 1: and I could not be more excited for you. I
- 7:06Speaker 1: want nothing but joy and everything you ever wanted, that
- 7:10Speaker 1: that our relationship wouldn't have brought you. And Chris congratulations.
- 7:15Speaker 1: Now the second piece of this is that I hope
- 7:17Speaker 1: for Lauren and myself is that my life isn't as
- 7:21Speaker 1: closely tied to Lauren anymore. I hope that aren't reaching out.
- 7:26Speaker 1: You would think that this would separate you, guys, but
- 7:28Speaker 1: now I hope that this separates us. I hope that
- 7:32Speaker 1: when something like this happens, the first phone call that
- 7:34Speaker 1: the press makes is not to me and say, hey,
- 7:37Speaker 1: your ex got engaged. What do you think? Because you
- 7:40Speaker 1: know what I think. I think that it's great, and
- 7:44Speaker 1: I think that it's good, and I think that it
- 7:45Speaker 1: brings joy to me because I'm so happy and I
- 7:48Speaker 1: am so fulfilled, and I found an amazing woman to
- 7:52Speaker 1: spend my time with, and Lauren has now found an
- 7:55Speaker 1: amazing man to spend her life with. And we're gonna
- 7:58Speaker 1: move on and it's good for all. And so, in summary, Lauren, congrats, Chris, congrats.
- 8:05Speaker 1: We wish you the best. Here, I wish you the best,
- 8:07Speaker 1: My family wishes you the best. Jessica, wish you the best.
- 8:10Speaker 1: And next, Hey, I hope this is a chapter being
- 8:14Speaker 1: closed completely because I don't know Lauren anymore. My life
- 8:19Speaker 1: isn't tieder. I have one more question before we wrap
- 8:21Speaker 1: up the Lauren talk. If you weren't with Jess right
- 8:25Speaker 1: now and you weren't so happy and fulfilled and completely
- 8:28Speaker 1: head over heels herself, would today be harder? Um, it's
- 8:33Speaker 1: hard to say, right. I think I could see it
- 8:35Speaker 1: go in one of two ways. It's a good question
- 8:37Speaker 1: because if I wasn't with Jess, and maybe I hadn't
- 8:40Speaker 1: found somebody that made me so happy, I think this
- 8:43Speaker 1: just being human honestly would have made me go, wow,
- 8:46Speaker 1: what am I missing? Well? You know, what's my issues?
- 8:49Speaker 1: Why can't I find find what she is now? Founder
- 8:53Speaker 1: Why am I alone and struggling? Those are the questions
- 8:55Speaker 1: that would I probably would ask myself. I think when
- 8:58Speaker 1: it comes to my tie to Lauren, Uh, it took
- 9:01Speaker 1: a while. You knew this the podcast. I think knew this.
- 9:04Speaker 1: It was it wasn't an immediate like uh ending for
- 9:08Speaker 1: me and Lauren. Like I had feelings for her for
- 9:10Speaker 1: a long time. I still care about her. I've I've
- 9:12Speaker 1: said that recently. Like I care about her. I want
- 9:14Speaker 1: what's best for her, and if her life weren't to
- 9:16Speaker 1: go in a great direction, it would it would hurt me.
- 9:18Speaker 1: And I don't want anything bad for her, So if
- 9:21Speaker 1: this was something that made her happy. I hope that
- 9:23Speaker 1: I am um a person. Maybe I wouldn't be, but
- 9:26Speaker 1: I hope I have a strong enough foundation to where
- 9:29Speaker 1: I wouldn't be resentful but yet celebrate her and her happiness,
- 9:32Speaker 1: but also reflect on where I was at and where
- 9:35Speaker 1: and if I was alone at this point. It's ever
- 9:39Speaker 1: fun to see an X, you know, get engaged while
- 9:41Speaker 1: you sit there alone in your room, going, well, this
- 9:44Speaker 1: is fun, Um. But the truth is that's not the case.
- 9:47Speaker 1: I'm happy, she's happy. She's engaged to. Lauren Bushnell is
- 9:51Speaker 1: now engaged to Chris Lane. He wrote some song for
- 9:53Speaker 1: I bet it's good. I haven't listen to it. I was.
- 9:55Speaker 1: Here's one thing I'd like to comment on. I looked
- 9:57Speaker 1: at the pictures before the podcast of the two of them.
- 10:00Speaker 1: I didn't know how it feel. Jessica is sitting beside me, Um,
- 10:04Speaker 1: and I saw the smile on Lauren's face, and it's
- 10:06Speaker 1: a smile I never saw. And I couldn't be happier
- 10:10Speaker 1: for that. I couldn't be happier that she has a
- 10:12Speaker 1: smile with Chris um from ear to ear, and that
- 10:16Speaker 1: it looks so good and so pure, and uh, I'm
- 10:20Speaker 1: glad that that smile is on her face because it
- 10:22Speaker 1: is a real smile of happiness. That's really interesting you
- 10:25Speaker 1: say that because before you got on the phone, how
- 10:27Speaker 1: there said to me? She goes just looking at Lawrence Instagram.
- 10:31Speaker 1: There's a different light around her with Chris. Yep, there is?
- 10:35Speaker 1: And do we not want that? For? I mean, no
- 10:37Speaker 1: matter what, like I hope, I hope if if this
- 10:40Speaker 1: was the ugliest breakup ever, it brings me. I was
- 10:43Speaker 1: at a church service four years ago and I remember
- 10:45Speaker 1: this and it said that when you hold resentment towards
- 10:50Speaker 1: somebody and ultimately just handcuffs you, and like would I mean,
- 10:55Speaker 1: what what does it do for me? Wishing anything but
- 10:57Speaker 1: really great things for her and for Chris. All Right, well, Ben,
- 11:01Speaker 1: you're just You're the greatest. Before we move on to
- 11:04Speaker 1: breaking down this episode, but before we get into that,
- 11:08Speaker 1: I've got to tell you about my new bathroom. Okay,
- 11:11Speaker 1: it's not new, it's still in my apartment, but it
- 11:14Speaker 1: feels way more luxurious than it has because of crete
- 11:19Speaker 1: and barrel and Jared and my Crate and Barrel Registry,
- 11:23Speaker 1: we have gotten the most soft, luscious towels, great bath products,
- 11:29Speaker 1: and the coziest bathrobe I've ever used in my life.
- 11:32Speaker 1: It just feels more relaxing when I shower and get
- 11:35Speaker 1: ready because I have this lovely, smelling and lovely looking bathroom.
- 11:41Speaker 1: So we registered for all this stuff with our Crate
- 11:43Speaker 1: and Barrel Wedding Registry, and it's made my morning routine
- 11:47Speaker 1: so nice, and especially with all the stress leading up
- 11:50Speaker 1: to the wedding, having that nice bathtime with the shampoos
- 11:53Speaker 1: and the lotions and the candles and the Turkish towels
- 11:56Speaker 1: and the soft cozy bath mats against my feed have
- 12:00Speaker 1: made my days more enjoyable for me. I love too.
- 12:06Speaker 1: I like to take showers at night. It kind of
- 12:07Speaker 1: just unwinds me, so I get to I get to
- 12:11Speaker 1: take that relaxing shower and then slip into the nicest
- 12:15Speaker 1: bedding I've ever had, which we also got from Creating
- 12:17Speaker 1: Barrels because they have a whole, you know, a whole
- 12:21Speaker 1: department full of duvet's sheets, pillows, comforters, and that helps
- 12:27Speaker 1: our cozy times snuggling and scrolling on our phones in
- 12:31Speaker 1: bed even better. And m another favorite thing that I
- 12:35Speaker 1: got from my register didn't have been using a ton
- 12:37Speaker 1: lately is my juicer I can't believe I got the juicer.
- 12:41Speaker 1: I screamed when I opened it, screamed with joy, and
- 12:44Speaker 1: it is actually transforming the way that I eat because
- 12:47Speaker 1: I've been drinking sailor juice and like some kale juices
- 12:50Speaker 1: which are really getting my diet going for the wedding.
- 12:55Speaker 1: So if you guys are engaged out there, we highly

- 13:28Speaker 1: this day out working out. I'm humbled sometimes by a workout.
- 13:33Speaker 1: It's not easy for me to always get motivated to
- 13:37Speaker 1: work out, honestly half the time, and I don't find
- 13:39Speaker 1: the time. But when I'm on the road, work out
- 13:42Speaker 1: that really kicks my Butt's open Fit. Open Fit takes

- 13:53Speaker 1: to work out from the comfort of your living room

- 13:59Speaker 1: are different. Mind doesn't molden to the muscle that some
- 14:02Speaker 1: others do. The muscle. It's really I feel like Ash,
- 14:10Speaker 1: Jared and I both if we like maybe diet it
- 14:14Speaker 1: a little harder and used open fit a little more,
- 14:17Speaker 1: we would look like Brad Pitt and Fight Club. We
- 14:20Speaker 1: just watched Fight Club in the hotel the other day.
- 14:22Speaker 1: That's so where you say that, yeah he is Rocket
- 14:26Speaker 1: in that movie, he is. I think Jared and I

- 16:00Speaker 1: what's happened. I went on a run recently, got super sweaty,

- 16:09Speaker 1: ones you're meant to run in now, the small like vinegar.
- 16:12Speaker 1: How do you get rid of this smell? Can? I
- 16:17Speaker 1: don't know if I do. Maybe vinegar got spilt on
- 16:19Speaker 1: it sometime somehow Jessica thinks I had had this salad
- 16:23Speaker 1: with like a balsamic vinegar dressing, and she thinks somehow
- 16:25Speaker 1: I got spilt on my headphones. But is there a
- 16:29Speaker 1: way to get the smell out of these padded headphones? Uh?
- 16:34Speaker 1: I would just say put a Clorox wipe on it. Yeah,
- 16:38Speaker 1: a little soap form. Yeah. Well, if anybody out there

- 17:37Speaker 1: and please tell me how to say the country's name.
- 17:41Speaker 1: Oh yeah, let's laugh at let's laughya oh, but it
- 17:46Speaker 1: has a v okay laughya um. And then he was like,
- 17:51Speaker 1: let's go home to the mansion to talk for another
- 17:54Speaker 1: hour about the media. It was like an immediate switch.
- 17:57Speaker 1: And yeah, it was like, wait, didn't we just talk
- 17:59Speaker 1: about this stuff in a cafe and nothing? What the
- 18:06Speaker 1: hell is wrong with me? Guys? Latvia latvia? Okay? Um?
- 18:10Speaker 1: So follow along here with me. Did this lead somewhere?
- 18:15Speaker 1: Did we need to recap? Yes? Or no? No? I
- 18:17Speaker 1: don't think so. No, no, we didn't need a recap. Okay.
- 18:19Speaker 1: So the second part of the episode, we've agreed is
- 18:21Speaker 1: a filler because either too much craziness has happened towards
- 18:25Speaker 1: the end of this this season that they had to
- 18:28Speaker 1: kind of postpone some stuff, or not enough happened this
- 18:32Speaker 1: season the true I mean, it's got to be they wanted.
- 18:37Speaker 1: They must have wanted this hour in addition to like
- 18:40Speaker 1: another full episode, So like, let's make this episode a
- 18:44Speaker 1: half episode. We just they probably needed like a point
- 18:49Speaker 1: in time where they just needed another hour. I think
- 18:52Speaker 1: they wanted to continue with that Luke stuff because like
- 18:54Speaker 1: there wasn't enough time the last episode to like fully
- 18:56Speaker 1: get into it. Like the first well, I feel like
- 19:00Speaker 1: weeks was actually a little bit stretched out too with
- 19:02Speaker 1: the Luke stuff because Luke had a whole thirty minute
- 19:05Speaker 1: scene last last episode. So this is perfect. You guys
- 19:08Speaker 1: are leading right where on us to go. And this
- 19:11Speaker 1: is what I'm reading from most of our emails and
- 19:12Speaker 1: most of our Twitter responses. People have felt now at
- 19:17Speaker 1: this point that the Luke stuff has been too drawn out?
- 19:21Speaker 1: Did we need this much Luke stuff? Was it a
- 19:24Speaker 1: smart decision for the show to continue? Are you sick
- 19:26Speaker 1: of it? Are you tired of it? Are you let's
- 19:28Speaker 1: just do this. I want you to to talk back
- 19:30Speaker 1: and forth, um, and then I'll close it out here.
- 19:33Speaker 1: But are you sick and tired of Luke? Do you
- 19:36Speaker 1: feel bad for him? Are you on his team? What
- 19:38Speaker 1: are your emotions? Because quite honestly, and we had the
- 19:41Speaker 1: same issue last week, it's hard to break down these
- 19:44Speaker 1: episodes because nothing is actually happening. Oh my gosh. Then
- 19:49Speaker 1: when I sat down yesterday to do my Cosmo recap,
- 19:52Speaker 1: I was like, Jared, I don't know what to say,
- 19:56Speaker 1: there's nothing for me to interpret, analyze take away from
- 20:00Speaker 1: this episode because it was just They're like, I could
- 20:03Speaker 1: have said it in three sentences what happened, And so
- 20:06Speaker 1: I ended up for the second half of my recap
- 20:09Speaker 1: breaking down the super tease, which I think we're gonna
- 20:11Speaker 1: do here, but I have to say that there there
- 20:14Speaker 1: are a couple there. These are my three sentences as
- 20:16Speaker 1: far as recapping this episode, Hannah was dominant the way
- 20:22Speaker 1: she stood up for herself and was like, you guys,
- 20:25Speaker 1: you're all turning me off. I can handle the Luke
- 20:27Speaker 1: situation on my own. Please trust me with this. I
- 20:30Speaker 1: don't need your help. And you guys are being not
- 20:35Speaker 1: very appealing to me because you just keep talking about
- 20:39Speaker 1: this one guy. I think Garrett totally blew it for
- 20:41Speaker 1: himself Herett's being extremely hypocritical because he's like, Luke, take
- 20:46Speaker 1: everybody's name out of your mouth, but then he just
- 20:49Speaker 1: keeps putting Luke's name in his mouth. Put yourself in
- 20:53Speaker 1: the situation. You're the bachelor, You're Hannah. Garrett comes in
- 20:58Speaker 1: to the room, sits down with you, uh, says, hey,
- 21:03Speaker 1: you know I have an issue with this guy. I
- 21:06Speaker 1: can't stop talking about this guy every time the guy
- 21:07Speaker 1: walks in the room and makes some smart, smart alec
- 21:10Speaker 1: comment to him. Are you turned off or turned on?
- 21:14Speaker 1: I'm completely turned off. I don't like that at all.
- 21:16Speaker 1: I feel like it's unnecessary and just kind of shows
- 21:18Speaker 1: like different motives. I feel like the guys that she like,
- 21:21Speaker 1: really likes, like didn't do that, like theay out of it. Yeah,
- 21:24Speaker 1: just stay out of it. It just it doesn't matter.
- 21:25Speaker 1: He's gonna like dig his own grave. Like why are
- 21:28Speaker 1: you spending like the ten minutes we get to talk
- 21:30Speaker 1: about him? You know? Yeah, this is the first episode
- 21:33Speaker 1: I know I've acknowledged that. I've never We've never had
- 21:36Speaker 1: a season where the villain or even any cast member
- 21:40Speaker 1: besides the lead, has so much air time and so
- 21:43Speaker 1: much attention than Luke. But this was the first time
- 21:46Speaker 1: where I was like, Okay, I'm really done with the
- 21:48Speaker 1: Luke thing. I found myself on my phone a bit
- 21:50Speaker 1: during this episode, and the shining moments were definitely Hannah
- 21:55Speaker 1: just calling the guys out. And then when Hannah wasn't
- 21:58Speaker 1: in front of the guys speaking her mind, I was like, Okay,
- 22:01Speaker 1: I'm over this. Yeah, that was definitely Hannah's parts like
- 22:04Speaker 1: that was the only part of the episode I really liked.
- 22:05Speaker 1: Is like I was like, WHOA, Hannah's being so herself
- 22:08Speaker 1: and I don't think I've ever seen like the Bachelor
- 22:11Speaker 1: like talk to all the guys guys in that way.
- 22:14Speaker 1: I just it was crazy. Everything about this season is
- 22:18Speaker 1: like a little bit different. It's like more raw, because
- 22:22Speaker 1: she truly does not give a crap a lot, and
- 22:24Speaker 1: I think like she's looking at these group of guys
- 22:27Speaker 1: and being so overwhelmed by their drama and their obsession
- 22:30Speaker 1: with Luke that he She's like, you know what, I
- 22:32Speaker 1: don't even need one of you and one of these
- 22:35Speaker 1: without one of you, it's fine because I think she's
- 22:39Speaker 1: becoming so confident and loving herself so much. She's like,
- 22:43Speaker 1: I don't need no man. Yeah, I think so too.
- 22:46Speaker 1: I know she's killing it early. I might play a
- 22:49Speaker 1: little bit of Devil's advocate here and say I do
- 22:53Speaker 1: see her being not caring a little bit. I also
- 22:56Speaker 1: think the opposite is that she cares a lot and
- 22:59Speaker 1: that she she I'm just goes back to what we
- 23:02Speaker 1: were talking about being in the season. We thought she
- 23:05Speaker 1: wouldn't fit the royal batchelrette, like she was the one.
- 23:07Speaker 1: They were like, yeah, she's gonna be like the everyday person.
- 23:10Speaker 1: What I'm seeing instead is she actually is very calm
- 23:13Speaker 1: as the bacherette and fits that role perfectly because she
- 23:16Speaker 1: can manage and handle a bunch of little boys being
- 23:20Speaker 1: little boys. One guy stands up above the rest, though,
- 23:24Speaker 1: and I know the woman out there will love to
- 23:25Speaker 1: talk about it. He stands up above the rest, is
- 23:28Speaker 1: not a little boy and puts his foot down. And
- 23:31Speaker 1: that's Peter had a good feeling about all season. People
- 23:34Speaker 1: have loved all season. He hasn't engaged in this craziness. Connor,
- 23:39Speaker 1: Peter Tyler, Luda knew on neither as Tyler Tyler has
- 23:43Speaker 1: not ann either. Oh yeah, I guess Connor hasn't either.
- 23:47Speaker 1: And and we see Peter finally say, gents, this is
- 23:51Speaker 1: absolutely ridiculous. This is stupid. You guys are being idiots,
- 23:55Speaker 1: Like you're ruining a really good thing here, and you're
- 23:58Speaker 1: ruining an experience that we all want to have. Yet,
- 24:01Speaker 1: what happens, and here's something that I want you to
- 24:04Speaker 1: to take with Until this week, he's been one of
- 24:07Speaker 1: the fan favorites. People have liked him. Garrett not even
- 24:10Speaker 1: in my top six right now, yeah, he ruins it
- 24:13Speaker 1: because who speaks up right away? Garrett does, brings a
- 24:16Speaker 1: conversation right back, can't get rid of it. He is
- 24:18Speaker 1: obsessed with Luke Pe obsessed. He kept going like I thought,
- 24:21Speaker 1: like lastly he said a couple of times, and then
- 24:23Speaker 1: he said it again, and then he said it again,
- 24:25Speaker 1: like what are you doing? Yeah, no, he definitely has
- 24:28Speaker 1: proven that he is more infatuated with Luke pe drama
- 24:32Speaker 1: than he is with him. Yeah, absolutely no. But I
- 24:34Speaker 1: loved when Peter said that, Like Peter said that out
- 24:36Speaker 1: of like actual care. Didn't feel like he was like
- 24:38Speaker 1: trying to say it because like he felt that it
- 24:40Speaker 1: was like the right thing to say, Like he seems
- 24:42Speaker 1: like you actually affected by like Hannah being upset, and
- 24:46Speaker 1: I actually cared about her. So, now, what did we
- 24:48Speaker 1: think about the Chris Harrison chat in which she was like,
- 24:51Speaker 1: I really don't know if I'm going to find anything
- 24:53Speaker 1: through this. I don't know how people do. I think
- 24:58Speaker 1: she just panicked. I think she was like and that,
- 25:00Speaker 1: like she was like it was like week five or
- 25:02Speaker 1: week six, and she was like, yeah, we're done with
- 25:04Speaker 1: weeks six? Was that by definition? Yeah? So she was
- 25:08Speaker 1: episode six? She was just I think she was just
- 25:10Speaker 1: in the state where she's like, oh my gosh, like
- 25:11Speaker 1: I don't have fully developed relationships like any of these guys,
- 25:16Speaker 1: Like how am I supposed to get engaged in three
- 25:18Speaker 1: weeks and kind of like went into panic mode. I
- 25:20Speaker 1: think I have thoughts on this, remember this three or
- 25:24Speaker 1: four weeks, four weeks, we'll say, I remember sitting at
- 25:28Speaker 1: the same scenario, and there's some great people involved in
- 25:33Speaker 1: this process. But about week five or six, you still
- 25:36Speaker 1: have what I would call like some people that are
- 25:38Speaker 1: left over, not your top three, not the people you're
- 25:41Speaker 1: super interested in, and any relationship becomes very foggy because
- 25:46Speaker 1: the time with each person is still pretty short, and
- 25:49Speaker 1: so you're sitting there and all you can really do.
- 25:52Speaker 1: It's hard. It's hard to compartmentalize each relationship at this
- 25:55Speaker 1: point because you don't have really in depth relationships. You
- 25:58Speaker 1: have some good moments with people, but yet you know
- 26:01Speaker 1: that even like, for example, the Garretts, I'm sure she
- 26:03Speaker 1: was in the garrett and then this week he you know,
- 26:05Speaker 1: goes and starts becoming a little boy, and she's like, well,
- 26:07Speaker 1: this ruin this relationship too. It's it's this week really
- 26:11Speaker 1: that is probably the hardest for any lead, because you
- 26:14Speaker 1: look around you like, everybody here is weird. Everybody here
- 26:17Speaker 1: is arguing, nobody's into me, nobody stands up of the crowd,
- 26:21Speaker 1: like everybody is in this fight. And then as time continues,
- 26:26Speaker 1: and maybe when she watches it back and she sees
- 26:28Speaker 1: the whole thing play out, she realizes that, yeah, the Peters,
- 26:31Speaker 1: the Tyler is, the Connors, they were never involved, and
- 26:35Speaker 1: that those guys that she ends up probably being most into,
- 26:37Speaker 1: and that we can kind of tell that she already
- 26:39Speaker 1: is pretty into actually, did you know, go above the
- 26:42Speaker 1: reproach and like make things happen? But I get it,
- 26:45Speaker 1: she's probably just overwhelmed. Did you have one of those
- 26:48Speaker 1: moments where you're like it might be really yeah, definitely. Yeah.
- 26:52Speaker 1: Here's the scenario. I was in the Bahamas. I was
- 26:55Speaker 1: on a group date. It was a pig date. We
- 26:57Speaker 1: left the pig date and I was sitting there and
- 27:00Speaker 1: one of the producers comes in. He's like, every woman
- 27:01Speaker 1: here is really upset with you because what happened was
- 27:05Speaker 1: they got to see you talk to other women in
- 27:07Speaker 1: front of them for the first time, and every woman
- 27:10Speaker 1: here feels like Leod outside, right, now and you've done
- 27:13Speaker 1: that because of how much affection or attention you showed
- 27:16Speaker 1: each person in front of the others, and now everybody
- 27:19Speaker 1: here wants to leave. And I was like, well that, yeah,
- 27:22Speaker 1: I mean, how do you fix that? Like this was
- 27:25Speaker 1: the moment where I had this idea that yeah, this
- 27:26Speaker 1: was all done. I've messed up and there's no turning back.
- 27:31Speaker 1: I've ruined these relationships and as a as a result,
- 27:34Speaker 1: like this is gonna end in nothing good happening, Like
- 27:37Speaker 1: you feel like the whole thing is slipping out from
- 27:39Speaker 1: underneath you. I would just encourage her to say, give
- 27:42Speaker 1: it two more weeks, uh, continue to filter through some
- 27:44Speaker 1: of those guys that are just aren't really adding up
- 27:47Speaker 1: in her mind, and then then it will be a
- 27:50Speaker 1: brighter future. Here's the funny part about this thing, though,
- 27:53Speaker 1: and you mentioned it, and I think we should move
- 27:55Speaker 1: on to it. So really, what we've talked about in
- 27:58Speaker 1: this podcast so far, and I think we're doing a
- 28:00Speaker 1: fine job of breaking this down, is Luke p admits
- 28:05Speaker 1: that he isn't doing the right thing. Who knows why
- 28:07Speaker 1: he says it, if it's just to say it, or
- 28:09Speaker 1: if he really means it. The guys are still so
- 28:11Speaker 1: angry at luke P, and he's not going to fix that.
- 28:14Speaker 1: There's no forgiving luke P at this point. He's they
- 28:18Speaker 1: just hate him and he's a complete and complete isolation
- 28:21Speaker 1: from the group. And that's about all that's happened until
- 28:25Speaker 1: we move into this conversation with Chris Harrison and Hannah.
- 28:27Speaker 1: So we've skipped over forty five minutes of television with
- 28:33Speaker 1: really two points. Luke P admits he's he has failures,
- 28:36Speaker 1: Hannah keeps him around, and the guys hate him. And
- 28:39Speaker 1: now we go Chris Harrison Hannah for the breakdown to
- 28:41Speaker 1: where we want to find out where is she at
- 28:44Speaker 1: in her time as a bachelor atte we find out
- 28:46Speaker 1: she's not a great place. What's your response to that.
- 28:51Speaker 1: I think it kind of goes off what you were
- 28:53Speaker 1: just saying. She at this This is a weird point
- 28:57Speaker 1: of the competition quote quote where she hasn't had more
- 29:01Speaker 1: than she hasn't even had one on ones with all
- 29:04Speaker 1: of these guys and the guys that she really likes.
- 29:07Speaker 1: She's she hasn't even had a one on one with Peter,
- 29:10Speaker 1: which is crazy. So I think that but she's only
- 29:15Speaker 1: had like nine hours of quality time with the guys
- 29:18Speaker 1: that she likes, and you don't really you kind of
- 29:20Speaker 1: forget about that time when you are so overwhelmed with
- 29:23Speaker 1: the other drama, with the loop drama, and it was
- 29:25Speaker 1: like a couple of weeks ago, you know, like even
- 29:28Speaker 1: now in Scotland or in Latvia. Um, she's two weeks
- 29:32Speaker 1: removed from even her gate with Tyler C. So of
- 29:35Speaker 1: course she's not like Tyler is not like prominent in
- 29:37Speaker 1: her mind right now when the guys just keep bickering.
- 29:41Speaker 1: She's not like, oh remember that time in Newport where
- 29:44Speaker 1: I had such a great day with Tyler C. Like no,
- 29:46Speaker 1: she's just not thinking about that. Her mindsets totally whacked out.
- 29:50Speaker 1: And I think this Chris Harrison chat was just a
- 29:53Speaker 1: reset button for her. Yeah, I think she needed I
- 29:56Speaker 1: think Hannah is the person who's like whatever is right
- 29:59Speaker 1: in front of her is like her whole world, like
- 30:01Speaker 1: what's going on? So I think in this situation she
- 30:03Speaker 1: was just like I went into panic mode and was
- 30:05Speaker 1: like I'm done, I can't So I think she needed
- 30:08Speaker 1: the reset for sure. Totally all right, I am I
- 30:12Speaker 1: want to have a little girl chat, as we call
- 30:14Speaker 1: it on the show. Whenever you see like two people together,
- 30:18Speaker 1: um talking about a situation going on. We called a
- 30:22Speaker 1: girl chat or guy chat. So I'm gonna have a
- 30:24Speaker 1: little girl chat with how The in just one minute.
- 30:27Speaker 1: But first we have to talk about blue Apron. Ben,
- 30:33Speaker 1: are you cooking with Jess and your blue apron with
- 30:36Speaker 1: no shirt underneath? That's the way I do it. Remember,
- 30:40Speaker 1: wanted you to do that so bad for her. Well
- 30:43Speaker 1: now it's not appropriate. Yeah, that's a good point. Amy
- 30:46Speaker 1: was into that, you know what. That was the moment
- 30:49Speaker 1: with Amy that I was like, you know what, I
- 30:50Speaker 1: don't know what's getting said here, but I'm not against
- 30:52Speaker 1: the names because Amy, our producer, just just a beautiful
- 30:57Speaker 1: person inside. Now, hey, this on our experienced the joy

- 31:28Speaker 1: I love to cook. It's one of my favorite things.
- 31:30Speaker 1: I was worried at first, quite honestly, that purchasing Blue
- 31:34Speaker 1: Apron would kind of take the fun out of cooking.
- 31:37Speaker 1: It would make it too easy and too simplified. It
- 31:39Speaker 1: doesn't at all, If anything, it just it enhances my

- 32:44Speaker 1: time with Heather now because we don't have to talk
- 32:46Speaker 1: to Ben about you know, you're kissing history. You know,
- 32:50Speaker 1: the whole world already really knows about it at this point. Yeah.
- 32:54Speaker 1: So you had your first kiss with Colton Underwood just
- 32:57Speaker 1: a matter of like nine months ago. I guess, like,
- 33:00Speaker 1: have you kissed another guy since I haven't, Alright, so
- 33:05Speaker 1: we don't know whether or not you'll be getting a
- 33:08Speaker 1: kiss in Paradise. We can only hope. But let's go
- 33:12Speaker 1: through Hannah's group of guys and the kind of chemistry
- 33:17Speaker 1: that they have together because you're you know, you know
- 33:20Speaker 1: what you're doing now. I know, I'm an ex. So yeah,
- 33:23Speaker 1: and you had a really good first kiss. It was like,
- 33:26Speaker 1: it was the easiest first kiss I've ever seen. I
- 33:29Speaker 1: didn't cringe with awkwardness at all, no wincing. It was great.
- 33:34Speaker 1: That's what I was terrified of, So thank you. Oh
- 33:37Speaker 1: it was treasure. Okay, So the kisses that are standing
- 33:41Speaker 1: out to me right now are jed because she straddled
- 33:44Speaker 1: him last week. Yeah, that's um. Then we had Tyler
- 33:50Speaker 1: c where she said I have something for you and
- 33:53Speaker 1: then pushed him onto the bed. What is that? What
- 33:56Speaker 1: does she have? Okay, I know I loved that. My
- 34:01Speaker 1: sister is like seventies and um. And then there was
- 34:06Speaker 1: the kind of sort of romantic, innocent, a little messed
- 34:11Speaker 1: up kiss with Peter on the pool table. I thought
- 34:14Speaker 1: it was adorable. That was my favorite one. It was. Okay,
- 34:17Speaker 1: So of those three, which one do you think has
- 34:19Speaker 1: the best kiss chemistry? Is the Peter one, the one
- 34:21Speaker 1: that you would have wanted the most? Which one was
- 34:24Speaker 1: the hottest though? To watch? I think the hottest watch.
- 34:28Speaker 1: I think probably the Tyler one. Yeah, I agree. That
- 34:31Speaker 1: just seemed like the most like it was the most
- 34:33Speaker 1: into him, like she was one initiating it. It was
- 34:36Speaker 1: on a bed. I mean, yeah, I think that was
- 34:38Speaker 1: definitely I agree. And then in the teaser, the super teaser,
- 34:43Speaker 1: which is really the best part to come out of
- 34:45Speaker 1: yesterday's episode. It was so good, so much to analyze.
- 34:51Speaker 1: We'll get to that soon. But the best, the best
- 34:54Speaker 1: part to the most steamy part to me was when
- 34:58Speaker 1: she was on that massage table with Tyler, and then
- 35:01Speaker 1: right into that when we went into that whole like
- 35:05Speaker 1: sex chat where she was she said the thing about
- 35:11Speaker 1: sex between a merrit and a marriage, and then with
- 35:14Speaker 1: you know that Jesus still loves her. But then we
- 35:16Speaker 1: had the bombshell, which was the Luke p he wants
- 35:20Speaker 1: to keep the marriage bed pure and he said he
- 35:24Speaker 1: was going to leave if Yeah, so I have this
- 35:27Speaker 1: big theory. Maybe we should get to it in a
- 35:29Speaker 1: little bit, but I do feel like if any makeout
- 35:32Speaker 1: leads to more, it's gonna be that Tyler see one
- 35:36Speaker 1: in the massage room. Do you think like not doing
- 35:39Speaker 1: fantasy states, Yeah, I'm thinking should could full Caitlin. Well,
- 35:43Speaker 1: if um, that conversation between Hannah and and Luke happens
- 35:50Speaker 1: before fantasy suites, like a date before they go into
- 35:53Speaker 1: the fantasy suite, then that would mean that one he
- 35:55Speaker 1: got really far and true. So there's that that's true.
- 36:00Speaker 1: So there's that. So that if you're saying that it
- 36:02Speaker 1: has sex happens after or in a fantasy suite, then
- 36:07Speaker 1: it's either it's yeah, Luke gets really far exactly Luke,
- 36:09Speaker 1: it's really far, or before I didn't even think possibility
- 36:12Speaker 1: of before. I think it was in my mind only
- 36:15Speaker 1: went to fantasis me too. I guess that Tyler gets
- 36:18Speaker 1: that far then, which is freakish. Who knows? Yeah, okay, well,
- 36:23Speaker 1: I mean but if I think she sleeps with anyone before,
- 36:27Speaker 1: I think you would be Tyler Tyler. But these are
- 36:29Speaker 1: all assumptions and I don't want to like make these
- 36:31Speaker 1: inferences that just absolutely may not be true. But then
- 36:35Speaker 1: she goes, I did have sex, Yeah, but you have?
- 36:39Speaker 1: Did you think she was talking about like? I didn't
- 36:41Speaker 1: think she's talking about on the show. I think she's
- 36:43Speaker 1: only talking about on the show. I was thinking. My
- 36:45Speaker 1: perception was because like with Colton, she told him like,
- 36:48Speaker 1: I've had sex before, but a new wait for my
- 36:50Speaker 1: husband the next person, so I was thinking that she
- 36:52Speaker 1: was referring to that. Do you think she really said
- 36:54Speaker 1: that she was going to wait for her husband? Did
- 36:56Speaker 1: she say that she said, oh she did see there
- 37:00Speaker 1: she wanted to. I don't know. I think I know.
- 37:03Speaker 1: I thought throughout the entire season that that teaser meant
- 37:07Speaker 1: that she's, you know, done it before, But last night's
- 37:11Speaker 1: specific teaser her tone was like, well, guess what, I've
- 37:16Speaker 1: already done it that's how I interpreted that. Okay, well,
- 37:20Speaker 1: since we're already since we're already talking deep in breaking
- 37:23Speaker 1: down the trailer as mine as well, like I'll give
- 37:26Speaker 1: you my whole thoughts. Okay. I do think that that
- 37:30Speaker 1: Luke gets to fantasy suitets I guess based on the trailer,
- 37:36Speaker 1: and that this conversation that she has with him about
- 37:40Speaker 1: the pure marriage bad just like kind of weird to say.
- 37:46Speaker 1: I feel like she's probably referring to having a previous
- 37:52Speaker 1: fantasy suite with some other guy in which she did
- 37:55Speaker 1: sleep with him, because Luke is basically saying right now,
- 37:59Speaker 1: I you bet or not have slept with anyone else
- 38:01Speaker 1: so far. He's like, I think the thing that bothered
- 38:05Speaker 1: me about that is like he can have his opinion
- 38:08Speaker 1: that like he wants to wait to marriage whatever. Think
- 38:09Speaker 1: there's a thing wrong with that. I think it's what
- 38:11Speaker 1: bothered her, And what is bad about that is that
- 38:13Speaker 1: he was like trying to control her and she was
- 38:15Speaker 1: just like that's why she freaked out, right, yeah, oh yeah, absolutely,
- 38:19Speaker 1: Like not the fact that he has that opinion. I
- 38:21Speaker 1: think she likes that, but I think she was actually
- 38:24Speaker 1: attracted to that about him. I think it's when he
- 38:26Speaker 1: started to like control her and then nothing she said that,
- 38:28Speaker 1: I think because she must have been like, oh, sorry
- 38:32Speaker 1: to tell you, and just not exactly how it's gone down.
- 38:36Speaker 1: And then after hearing that he that she did sleep
- 38:40Speaker 1: with somebody else, he lost it because it's a competition
- 38:44Speaker 1: thing with him, it could be a religious thing with him,
- 38:47Speaker 1: and it's definitely, as you say, a control thing. So
- 38:51Speaker 1: hearing that, I think his mind was blown. He reacted
- 38:55Speaker 1: without giving himself any self control and called her a
- 38:59Speaker 1: slight jimming names. So you think that she freaked out
- 39:02Speaker 1: after he got mad, rather than like just him saying like, oh,
- 39:05Speaker 1: I don't I don't like that you did that. You
- 39:06Speaker 1: think he got mad because she said something like, oh,
- 39:08Speaker 1: actually I alreadys left to someone here. It's the only
- 39:10Speaker 1: thing in which I can see that conversation about the
- 39:16Speaker 1: marriage bed leading to something that she says she can't
- 39:22Speaker 1: believe she was called. Oh I didn't think because she said,
- 39:26Speaker 1: I can't believe like anybody called me that. And it's
- 39:32Speaker 1: all in the same jacket. We all we'd like to
- 39:36Speaker 1: think it's the same night, right, But there were some
- 39:39Speaker 1: things in Colton supertees Is that definitely were just filmed
- 39:43Speaker 1: for the sake of the super tease. Yeah, so maybe
- 39:48Speaker 1: she had to put that jacket back on and say something,
- 39:51Speaker 1: but like, mostly she was like heated. She was like,
- 39:54Speaker 1: I don't feel like she's not an actress, not at all,
- 39:57Speaker 1: Like she had nothing in her an ac right. She
- 39:59Speaker 1: was like in most of those clips I saw like
- 40:02Speaker 1: she was fully like enraged. So so, Ben, what what
- 40:06Speaker 1: do you think about this guy who's there and ready
- 40:09Speaker 1: to propose. It doesn't seem like it's going to be
- 40:12Speaker 1: one of her top two guys because she wouldn't respond
- 40:15Speaker 1: so emotionally if it was. She would just be expecting that. Yeah,
- 40:19Speaker 1: my honest thoughts. Or you never want to see the
- 40:21Speaker 1: face that she made when you tell somebody that she's
- 40:24Speaker 1: getting ready to be proposed to, or that you love her.
- 40:27Speaker 1: I have a girl or a guy ever looks at
- 40:29Speaker 1: you the way Hannah did when you're like, hey, I
- 40:31Speaker 1: love you, It's not gonna work. Here's here'll be a
- 40:35Speaker 1: fun quiz. Anybody out there listening, who do you think
- 40:38Speaker 1: it is? Email us that Ben and Ashley I heart
- 40:40Speaker 1: me dot com on Twitter hashtag almost Famous podcast. Who
- 40:46Speaker 1: do you think it could have been? I have I
- 40:49Speaker 1: have two theories. After Heather, I can only think Luke like, okay,
- 40:54Speaker 1: I can only think that's my one theory. So like
- 40:56Speaker 1: Luke was eliminated, said something awful, probably as him, and
- 41:00Speaker 1: comment comes back the week later and he's like, I
- 41:04Speaker 1: take it back with a horrible thing for me to
- 41:07Speaker 1: say our marriage bed doesn't have to be here and
- 41:10Speaker 1: I'm here with the ring and she's probably like, oh
- 41:13Speaker 1: my god, I have a psycho stalker. My other theory
- 41:17Speaker 1: is that possibly could be a guy from home from
- 41:20Speaker 1: her past and he's been so overwhelmed with her being
- 41:25Speaker 1: the bachelorette and he regrets all of his life decisions
- 41:28Speaker 1: and is here to propose. Or it could just be
- 41:30Speaker 1: like a crazy stalker dead what about you. I hope
- 41:36Speaker 1: it isn't somebody from home, because there's only one theory
- 41:38Speaker 1: i'd have there, that guy saw an opportunity be on
- 41:40Speaker 1: national television, he took it. Yeah, that happened with Becca
- 41:44Speaker 1: on our season. Yeah, I wouldn't be okay with that.
- 41:47Speaker 1: You'd hear on this podcast say that's absolutely ridiculous. That
- 41:50Speaker 1: is incredibly destructive and in a moment that should she
- 41:53Speaker 1: should be celebrating some loser from home decides to get
- 41:57Speaker 1: on national TV. I think that I would be. I
- 42:00Speaker 1: don't know if that's true. Not. The second is, I
- 42:02Speaker 1: don't think it's Luke p you. I actually have this
- 42:06Speaker 1: weird sense that it's Jet Like. I think that he
- 42:10Speaker 1: at the end of this ends up getting so tied
- 42:12Speaker 1: up and Hannah that I feel like he might break.
- 42:17Speaker 1: I don't know why. It's just a theory. I see
- 42:20Speaker 1: it in him already, right, He's he's very attached to Hannah.
- 42:23Speaker 1: He really likes Hannah. Um he is. You know, he
- 42:27Speaker 1: came here for the wrong reasons and she's turned them
- 42:29Speaker 1: to be the right reasons. And I have a feeling
- 42:31Speaker 1: that her heart at the end of this whole thing
- 42:34Speaker 1: starts leaning in a way away from him, and that
- 42:37Speaker 1: he reacts. Do you think elis him and then he
- 42:40Speaker 1: comes back? Yeah? Is he elimited or has he leave
- 42:41Speaker 1: on his own? Okay, let's keep names out of it
- 42:45Speaker 1: for a second, because I don't know if that's helpful,
- 42:46Speaker 1: because we could say, really, any one of these guys
- 42:48Speaker 1: could be that guy. I think my theory is it
- 42:51Speaker 1: is somebody that's been eliminated that comes back into it.
- 42:55Speaker 1: I don't think it's somebody that's still there. But then
- 42:58Speaker 1: he's here and he's ready to propose, Like, well, she
- 43:01Speaker 1: sent him home, she didn't want to get proposed by him. Yeah,
- 43:06Speaker 1: I was gonna say, you can't that that doesn't work
- 43:08Speaker 1: with Hannah. I don't think we can because luke P
- 43:11Speaker 1: was sent home and he came back and it worked.
- 43:14Speaker 1: So he's following in luke P's footsteps. Whoever this is,
- 43:16Speaker 1: perhaps it's Luke I think she kind of likes it
- 43:18Speaker 1: a little bit like the chase coming after her. Well,
- 43:22Speaker 1: she does like a guy that really pursues. She doesn't
- 43:24Speaker 1: like hard to get no, which, yeah, that's somebody that
- 43:29Speaker 1: that has been eliminated that comes back in. No, guys,
- 43:34Speaker 1: I want us to get serious for a second because
- 43:35Speaker 1: we're gonna walk on some fragile topics. Are we going
- 43:39Speaker 1: to talk about the marriage bed? Because I do want
- 43:41Speaker 1: your We we've already talked a little bit about the
- 43:43Speaker 1: marriage bed, but I kind of wanted your input because
- 43:45Speaker 1: you know, you really wanted to. I wanted to lead
- 43:47Speaker 1: us through a conversation and and honestly ask our listeners
- 43:50Speaker 1: to feed in their thoughts because this was first bread
- 43:53Speaker 1: up um in my from my time watching the show
- 43:57Speaker 1: with Caitlin Bristow. This is a hot topic with Aitlan, right. Uh,
- 44:01Speaker 1: not maybe the marriage bed, but the fact that she
- 44:03Speaker 1: had um sex on the show. She didn't hide it
- 44:08Speaker 1: before the Fantasy Suite. She didn't hide it. Um. She
- 44:11Speaker 1: was not ashamed of it. Uh. And people did, They
- 44:14Speaker 1: slept shamed her. I remember at her tell, all all
- 44:18Speaker 1: of the like magazines and all the comments and on
- 44:20Speaker 1: Twitter were flashed up on the screen and she had
- 44:22Speaker 1: to sit there and read them. We weren't nice and pretty. Now, granted,
- 44:27Speaker 1: we we are at a time where I think this
- 44:29Speaker 1: conversation is happening all all the time, right for men
- 44:32Speaker 1: and women and how we treat each other and and
- 44:35Speaker 1: how we respect each other and understand where each other
- 44:37Speaker 1: are at. Uh, not only uh morally and and our values,
- 44:42Speaker 1: but also just how we view um sex and relationships. Well,
- 44:46Speaker 1: Hannah is sitting here, right, and let's assume, right, because
- 44:50Speaker 1: we still don't have a clear idea. Let's assume what
- 44:52Speaker 1: happened was that Hannah had sex before with with somebody
- 44:56Speaker 1: or multiple people before the Fantasy Suite, because we see glimpses,
- 44:59Speaker 1: but the the teaser could mean a thousand different things.
- 45:01Speaker 1: But that's the scenario playing out here that we think
- 45:04Speaker 1: that's what's happened. And luke P is sitting there saying,
- 45:07Speaker 1: my thoughts on marriage are that the marriage bed needs
- 45:10Speaker 1: to be pure. Well, two things here, and I'm gonna
- 45:13Speaker 1: go off for a little bit and uh and hopefully
- 45:16Speaker 1: this all makes sense at the end. One thing is
- 45:18Speaker 1: that one thing I've learned in life, and I was
- 45:21Speaker 1: famous on on My Bachelor for season for saying, well, no,
- 45:24Speaker 1: I wasn't a virgin, um that my marriage bed wasn't
- 45:27Speaker 1: gonna be pure. Whatever he's trying to get at, luke
- 45:30Speaker 1: P started this whole season off by saying he had
- 45:33Speaker 1: so much sex in college that in the shower one
- 45:36Speaker 1: day everything changed. He I think that, you know, whatever
- 45:41Speaker 1: his his conviction has turned into, we want to respect
- 45:44Speaker 1: that equally as well. We don't want to shame him
- 45:47Speaker 1: for not having sex, but we also want him to
- 45:49Speaker 1: understand and be empathetic towards the situation that he has
- 45:53Speaker 1: had sex in his life as well. Next is his
- 45:57Speaker 1: expectation right now with Hannah, And I think this was
- 45:59Speaker 1: perfect for what she said. He he doesn't have anything
- 46:02Speaker 1: on her. They're not in an agreement like they haven't
- 46:05Speaker 1: discussed this as a couple. They haven't figured out what
- 46:07Speaker 1: each which each other need, like she owes him nothing.
- 46:12Speaker 1: They aren't in a committed relationship. She's exploring these relationships.
- 46:15Speaker 1: He knows that there's other cup relationships going on. He
- 46:19Speaker 1: really has nothing to say when it comes to who
- 46:23Speaker 1: she sleeps with and who she kisses and how she
- 46:25Speaker 1: dates right now because they're not in a committed relationship. Now,
- 46:29Speaker 1: I do want to get on Luke side for one second,
- 46:32Speaker 1: any luve is. I think one fair conversation he could
- 46:35Speaker 1: have had with Hannah would have said, Hey, I love you,
- 46:39Speaker 1: I want to see this thing work. Now, what are
- 46:43Speaker 1: you comfortable with from here on out pursuing and and
- 46:46Speaker 1: are you comfortable being intimate with people knowing that at
- 46:49Speaker 1: the end we could be engaged like that is a fair,
- 46:51Speaker 1: healthy conversation for a couple have not an easy one,
- 46:54Speaker 1: but I think talking about what your expectations are physically
- 46:57Speaker 1: and communicating those openly is howful for any couple, even
- 47:02Speaker 1: if it's a hard conversation, and even if you disagree. Couples,
- 47:05Speaker 1: no matter if you're in a committed relationship, a marriage,
- 47:08Speaker 1: or you just start dating, having those open that open
- 47:11Speaker 1: dialogue about what you're comfortable with physically is important. It
- 47:15Speaker 1: needs to get people on the same page. What he
- 47:17Speaker 1: did where he was completely wrong is he talked down
- 47:21Speaker 1: to her. He talked to her like, this is my
- 47:24Speaker 1: expectation and you're gonna obey. It wasn't It wasn't a
- 47:28Speaker 1: conversation to be had. It was a decision that he
- 47:30Speaker 1: made on an It was a decision that he made
- 47:33Speaker 1: that he was going to force her into and that
- 47:35Speaker 1: is completely wrong. And then I love do you think
- 47:39Speaker 1: that she was like, oh, but it's too late for that,
- 47:43Speaker 1: because you think this ye already's left with somebody before
- 47:45Speaker 1: that conversation, which would allude to Luke possibly being in
- 47:48Speaker 1: the top three by all like regular standards of how
- 47:53Speaker 1: this show goes, you know, Hometown's four top three fantasy suites. Um,
- 47:59Speaker 1: I don't know how soon this is. I don't think
- 48:01Speaker 1: it's that far off from now. I don't think it's
- 48:02Speaker 1: anywhere close to fantasy sweeps. I think, yeah, I think
- 48:06Speaker 1: it's soon. I think she's intimate with somebody or maybe
- 48:09Speaker 1: multiple people, and then this conversation happens and she's like, well, one, Luke,
- 48:15Speaker 1: I owe you nothing too don't shame me because all
- 48:19Speaker 1: he did and this is this is a big mistake
- 48:23Speaker 1: by men uh in the past and also just recouples
- 48:26Speaker 1: in general. What he did is he forced her to
- 48:28Speaker 1: feel shame. That is completely wrong at any level in
- 48:32Speaker 1: any relationship. Her only response was to feel shameful or
- 48:38Speaker 1: to stand up and complete protection of who she was.
- 48:42Speaker 1: There was no dialogue to allow her to empathetically or
- 48:46Speaker 1: or calmly walked back into the conversation she had. He
- 48:50Speaker 1: had put her in a corner and she had to
- 48:53Speaker 1: respond with some type of force or like was some
- 48:56Speaker 1: type of of bigger and she did, and I think
- 48:58Speaker 1: she said it great's she said, Hey, Luke, I have
- 49:01Speaker 1: had sex with somebody and Jesus still loves me, so
- 49:04Speaker 1: don't leave. Use again. Jesus is a weapon here to
- 49:07Speaker 1: put me into your little corner, into your little box,
- 49:10Speaker 1: into what you think is right and wrong, because quite honestly,
- 49:13Speaker 1: we ain't there yet. Boy, we haven't talked about this.
- 49:15Speaker 1: You owe me. I owe you nothing except to continue
- 49:19Speaker 1: to pursue this relationship. And I think this is a
- 49:22Speaker 1: good lesson and one that I hope cultivates conversation from
- 49:25Speaker 1: here on out. Is no matter what your moral standing
- 49:28Speaker 1: is and your values are at have a conversation, don't demand. Hey, Ben,
- 49:33Speaker 1: I have a question. Do you think that he was
- 49:35Speaker 1: saying it out of his true religious feelings or do
- 49:39Speaker 1: you think that he was saying it as a way
- 49:41Speaker 1: to control her activity with other guys both? Yeah, you know,
- 49:46Speaker 1: we want to be protective of loop here. Um. If
- 49:49Speaker 1: you notice on this podcast, we don't want to bash
- 49:51Speaker 1: the dude. It's been too much bashing. I mean this
- 49:54Speaker 1: guy literally Again Twitter this week the headline is nobody
- 49:58Speaker 1: leaves lukep needs a second chance like believe it or not,
- 50:01Speaker 1: like like the guy or not. He has had a
- 50:04Speaker 1: terrible time on the show, the worst yet. Chris Harrison
- 50:07Speaker 1: came out this week and said that this villain has
- 50:09Speaker 1: taken up the most time and been and been the
- 50:11Speaker 1: most focused on villain ever. Like this guy, like he
- 50:15Speaker 1: this is a part of his identity now for a
- 50:17Speaker 1: long time. Like I don't want to add to it
- 50:20Speaker 1: the truth, I get it, Like we can. We can
- 50:24Speaker 1: be unhappy with him, but we've everybody knows where each
- 50:27Speaker 1: other stand on. Look, Pete, there's very few Luke pe
- 50:29Speaker 1: supporters out there. The truth is when you come at
- 50:33Speaker 1: a conversation like that, it's manipulation, like you're trying to
- 50:37Speaker 1: get somebody to do something for you. There is no
- 50:40Speaker 1: open dialogue to say, hey, sorry, or hey I don't
- 50:44Speaker 1: have anything to apologize for, but I still want to
- 50:46Speaker 1: pursue a relationship with you. Are you okay with that?
- 50:48Speaker 1: He forced her into a scenario where she was going
- 50:50Speaker 1: to feel some type of guilt, even if she didn't
- 50:53Speaker 1: really feel any guilt at all for what she did.
- 50:55Speaker 1: So yeah, I think he was saying it not only
- 50:58Speaker 1: communicate what he was feeling, but also to control situation,
- 51:00Speaker 1: which I'm never okay with. Lucas still in the running
- 51:03Speaker 1: to you know, win Hannah's heart. As silly as that
- 51:07Speaker 1: seems to so many of us, but the guys who
- 51:10Speaker 1: have already been eliminated, a couple of them are appearing
- 51:13Speaker 1: in the Bachelor in Paradise cast, and we're going to
- 51:17Speaker 1: break that juicy cast down in just one minute. Heather, Um,
- 51:22Speaker 1: do you have Rothy's shoes? You had a pair of
- 51:27Speaker 1: what's your biggest complaint when it comes to flats? Come on,
- 51:32Speaker 1: don't they hurt the back of your foot? Yeah? I

- 56:13Speaker 1: I couldn't really ask for anything more. Um, Heather, we're
- 56:17Speaker 1: entering to our final segment of this this podcast, and
- 56:20Speaker 1: we're looking at these pictures that were released with the
- 56:23Speaker 1: Bachelor in Paradise castes today. We don't see you in them.
- 56:26Speaker 1: I know you can't confirm or deny if you were
- 56:28Speaker 1: part of this season. I also don't see your your
- 56:30Speaker 1: friend Kerpa. Yeah, just interesting. I do see Analyze Puccini
- 56:36Speaker 1: here for her second straight summer in Paradise. I think
- 56:40Speaker 1: everybody hopes that Analyize has a redemption story because she
- 56:43Speaker 1: got screwed last year. Everybody's always rooting on Bibiana. Um.
- 56:48Speaker 1: This will be her fourth appearance on a Bachelor franchise show,
- 56:52Speaker 1: as she's another one that has seemed to not be
- 56:55Speaker 1: very lucky in love, seems to be eliminated always too
- 56:58Speaker 1: early than we want her to be. So our thoughts
- 57:02Speaker 1: are with Bibby in this in this Bachelor Paradise journey.
- 57:05Speaker 1: But like Hurtzman, we knew that he would be there.
- 57:08Speaker 1: He was going to be the Bachelor in Paradise as
- 57:11Speaker 1: many thought should be interesting how his storyline unfolds. I
- 57:15Speaker 1: I hear rumors on the internet about him possibly messing
- 57:20Speaker 1: up here or there because they are in the depths
- 57:22Speaker 1: of filming right now, Caitlin seemed to be like a guarantee. Um,
- 57:28Speaker 1: how do you think Caitlin is gonna fair in Paradise?
- 57:33Speaker 1: I think she'll do good. I mean I think there
- 57:35Speaker 1: would be quite a few guys interested in Caitlin's I mean,
- 57:37Speaker 1: I think if I were a guy, I'd probably be
- 57:39Speaker 1: interested in Kylin. I think she's so pretty. Cam, who
- 57:43Speaker 1: was eliminated week three for um, just being a little
- 57:48Speaker 1: clingy in Hanna season, will be there the first week
- 57:52Speaker 1: in the original cast. Would you ever be interested in Cam? No?
- 57:57Speaker 1: Why is that? Yeah? No? And think so No. Well,
- 58:01Speaker 1: on Yaka, who is actually good friends with Cam in
- 58:04Speaker 1: real life, will also be there. Do you think she's
- 58:06Speaker 1: gonna stir some stir up? Probably? I don't know. I
- 58:12Speaker 1: feel like on Yka maybe just did it in the beginning,
- 58:15Speaker 1: and I think she might hold back a little bit more.
- 58:17Speaker 1: I think that's what feeling is. Ben. Are you shocked
- 58:21Speaker 1: to see Chris Bukowski, who apparently or not apparently just
- 58:25Speaker 1: straight up retired from the Bachelor franchise on After Paradise
- 58:31Speaker 1: season two to be back for his sixth appearance on
- 58:36Speaker 1: one of the shows. That being said, he hasn't been
- 58:39Speaker 1: an official cast number six times, but he has made
- 58:41Speaker 1: six appearance. Who is he's from Emily Maynard season? He
- 58:45Speaker 1: got fourth Emily season. How long ago Emily Maynard season?
- 58:49Speaker 1: But that was season eight of The Bachelorette, So it
- 58:52Speaker 1: was two thousand. I feel like it was two thousand
- 58:56Speaker 1: eleven or twelve. That's insane. Um. I'm not shocked because
- 59:02Speaker 1: I think it's hard to get out of this world
- 59:04Speaker 1: unless you're really desiring too. And you could even tell
- 59:09Speaker 1: he was sad to leave when he retired. The question
- 59:12Speaker 1: is how old is he? You know what he's think
- 59:15Speaker 1: he's younger than you think, because he was younger than
- 59:17Speaker 1: Emily on her season. I think he was twenty six
- 59:20Speaker 1: on her season. I think she was seven or she
- 59:24Speaker 1: was twenty six and he was twenty five something like that.
- 59:26Speaker 1: So I think Chris grew house. Chris Bukowski's age will
- 59:28Speaker 1: surprise you. I think he's only a year or two
- 59:31Speaker 1: older than us. Ben. Yeah, so like at that point,
- 59:34Speaker 1: why not? I mean, yeah, he's given a lot of
- 59:36Speaker 1: shots but he's young, he's single. Like, I don't blame
- 59:40Speaker 1: anybody for continue to see if this thing works. We
- 59:42Speaker 1: we've seen it year every year, every year, Like people
- 59:45Speaker 1: continue to find love on this show. And if you're
- 59:48Speaker 1: single and you're out in the world, take some intentional
- 59:50Speaker 1: time to try to go date. I think it's crazy.
- 59:53Speaker 1: I think it's shocking to see him there. I can't
- 59:55Speaker 1: believe he's doing it, But honestly, I kind of feel
- 59:58Speaker 1: like a little bit of a good for him. How
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: amazing would it be if after this sixth trial run
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: he finds somebody and gets engaged at the end of it.
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: I would love it. When do we want to celebrate
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: that isn't what these shows are about, is to continue
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: to see the cast that we fall in love with
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: and that we've rooted for complete their love story. So
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: I would be all for it. I'd be super amazing.
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: We also see on this list list Derek Peth, who
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: swore to us Okay, maybe that's swore, but promise when
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: we were on the Napa Valley Train just about six
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: seven weeks ago that he was not going to do Paradise.
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: He was like, oh no, no. If they've asked me him,
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: not gonna do it, not doing it? Oh he's there.
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: I can't say no. Clay Harbor is on the list,
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: and he, we know, dated Angela this year. We never
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: officially got like the breakup Instagram like we're sorry to
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: inform you that we have ended our relationship as friends.
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: I have feeling Angela and Clay didn't end their relationship
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: as friends. So Dee, I have to both be there,
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: I think so. I mean, if if he's agreed, I
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: bet Angela will agree. We have to see him both
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: in Paradise, and there's no way the show let's a
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: story like that not be displayed on TV. So yeah,
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: they're both gonna be there. Who else is going to
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: be there? Give us the rest of the rundown? Then
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: I think Demi will be a big storyline for us.
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: We're excited about Demmy. We loved Emmy here on the podcast.
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: She's came on a couple of times, obviously. Hannah Gee,
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: Hannah Gee is one of our favorites. Uh, she's captivated
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: both Ashley and I remember the night we did the
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: interview with her, and Nash and I were both like, dang,
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: like we really liked that girl. Picture of her like,
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: could she be cute? So perfect? Yeah, it's just a cute,
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: nice human and so we're a big fan of her.
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: Jpja from Cold Season, I don't remember her. She made
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: a big hissy fit on after I mean the Women
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: Tell All because she wanted to be on Paradise obviously,
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: so she really spoke up and she defended Kalin. So
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: we see her in the original cast. But yeah, JPJ,
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: what do you think is he gonna be Ah, he's
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: gonna stick around longer here than he did with Hannah season.
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: I want to know who he like. I want to
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: know who JPJ is, right, I did a little background
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: on him. He grew up in Wisconsin and he now
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: lives in Virginia and her Maryland, and he talks like
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: a surfer like, he feels like he has a West
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: Coast vibe, So like, who is JPJ? Do you find
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: JPJ attractive? Not my type? Really? I think he's beautiful,
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: not stereotypically my type, but I think he looks like
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: really very modelesque, very prince prince like. Yeah, I don't know,
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: not not my type, but I think he seems really
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: nice and fun. I just haven't seen a conversation with him.
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: Yet have we seen one. No, We've just seen like exclamations.
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, so yeah, I don't know. I think him
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: and Nicole can be a thing. All right. So Nicole
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: is on here. If you guys remember Nicole, she was
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: known for being pretty emotional on Holton season, always having
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: like one tear falling from her eye. Then there's Katie Morton,
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: who's stunning and I think everybody loves Katie beautiful. Finally, um,
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: there's a bunch you know. We have Kevin, we have
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: Nicole and yaka Um. And then there's Will's read who
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: has always been a kind of a surprise for us.
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: He's a fan favorite. Uh, we want to get to
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: know him a little bit better. Last year in Paradise,
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: it didn't last long. But then there's two women that
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: I think we love on the podcast that I think
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: will shock everybody and not how they caused drama mixed
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: things up, but how likable they are on Paradise. And
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: that's Sydney and Tasha. Those two right there. I believe
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: will be too of our favorites as we watch this season,
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: and mostly favorites just from like the pure hope that
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: we have that they find love and if you remember correctly,
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: Will's seemed to elude when he was on our podcast
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: about Katie being his crush. M hmm. What So to
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: end this podcast today, I want to ask you guys
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: a few questions. One going back to Hannah's season, because
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: it's going to tie into Paradise a little bit. Who
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: is your top three guys left? My top three guys
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: has not changed from last week. It would be Jed,
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: Tyler and Peter. Is that your state? Definitely mine? Here's
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: a surprising one to me now, Grant got sent home.
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: Don't know why he's married? Favorite? He loves Grant, Yeah, exactly.
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: That's why we love him because he's a silent but
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: deadly type, good looking man, Harry chest. You can tell
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: he gives it a perfect line right above his neck
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: al right below his neckline. Um, solid gentleman, doesn't have
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: a job to never cause controversy, solid beer drinker like
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: the guy has it going on. And somehow he got
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: sent home. So I have to change my top three? Yes,
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: and this is everybody's top three? Connor? How is Connor
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: not every girl's top three? The dude is beautiful, he's tall,
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: he's strong, he's patient, he's gotten messed over a few
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: times on this show. So I'm gonna say, Tyler, Connor
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: and Pete, why do you know why Connor is not
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: in my top three? He's very handsome, He's just like
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: perfect Abercromie look right, but he is he screams boy
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: to me, that is not a full grown man. And
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: I do think that the three that we are mentioning
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: are far carry themselves more like men. Cool. I think
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: she's more into the other three. You can just tell, ye,
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: but I think it's because she's sensing Connor's boyishnist too. Yeah,
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: and he's really young too. Is he's twenty four or something?
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: I mean, like, I know she's twenty four, but I
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: think she just wants somebody older or at least feels older.
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: She does come off a little older than than twenty four.
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: So just with her confidence and maturity, well, that's our
- 1:06:22Speaker 1: top Three's Heather, you have the same as Ashley. I
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: have a little bit of a different mix up. That's
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: moving on. Grant rest in peace, buddy. We love you
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: better being Paradise. If you're not so upset, it will
- 1:06:38Speaker 1: be so sad to me if I cannot see a
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: little bit more grant in my life. Hey, final question
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: for you all, uh, two storylines that if you had
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: no idea of what was actually happening and you had
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: no clue of what's going on, two storylines you're most
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: interested in Paradise um who Hannah gy ends up with
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: and probably who John Paul Jones owns up with. I
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: was gonna say, John Paul Jones for sure is my
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: top and I want I want to see Tashah and
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: Tasha too. I'm very curious. I feel like Tasha is
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: not gonna there's not gonna be like any drama with her.
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: She's gonna find her person and cruise unless one comes
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: at her. Like Tassia is not afraid to stand up
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: for herself, but she's not going to go out of
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: her way. I wanted to find someone. So those two
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: for me. There you go. That's it. Hey, if you
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: have some shorelines you're excited about in Bachroom Paradise, please
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: email us at Ben and Ashley at I heart media comment.
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: I want a breaking news what alright? Did we just
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: got breaking news on our phone? My phone? All right?
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: What's on your phone too? People? Magazine exclusive? This is
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: not a less This is not a less reliable magazine.
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: This is not a tabloid. It is people magazine is
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: reporting that Jed's x so that they were dating when
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: he went on the show, and she feels one betray it. No,
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: this is terrible. This is part of the the co
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: headline that the subline is the hardest part is that
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: he ghosted me, he tells people exclusively. Should I just
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: read it? Uh? Read a couple of quotes the other quote. Actually,
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: I want you, as I'm reading this one quote, to
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: scroll through and pick out a few of the key
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: points it says. One of the quotes in here says,
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: we spent the night together the night before he headed
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: He told me the show was just an obstacle and
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: we be stronger on the other side because of it.
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: This is just like the guy from Night one. But
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: it's not that that not so great guy from Night one.
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: It's Jed. Jim. Never get this, Actually, time out, I
- 1:08:50Speaker 1: never do this. Okay, I'm right. I told you Jed
- 1:08:53Speaker 1: had something up asleep, and that was before I am right.
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: You knew it that guy had something going on. He
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: told me early on that he applied said his ax.
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: He said it's probably not going to happen, but it's
- 1:09:07Speaker 1: a huge opportunity, and I'm only doing this for music.
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: He said he was only doing it for his career,
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: which is actually what he told Hannah, And we appreciated
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: that he was so upfront, up front about that with Hannah.
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: But now that he has a girlfriend back home, do
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: you think it's real for sure? Oh? Yeah, I don't know.
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: I'm gonna read this last statement magazine. We're gonna tell
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: everybody to make sure you go out and read. It's
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: on People, so and People is usually very trusted. This
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: is a crazy little statement. The paragraph starts with, like
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: all contestants, why I had to surrender his phone during filming?
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: So Stevens, his ex or his girlfriend at the time,
- 1:09:44Speaker 1: had no idea what was happening and grew increasingly anxious.
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: Her quote is I was falling along on spoiler accounts,
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: trying to figure out when my boyfriend was going to
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: come home. She said, I bought a home coming out
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: it that I was going to maybe pick him up
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: with at in at the airport. But as the series progressed,
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: I was terrified that it would fall in love with Hannah.
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: She says, in the beginning, I felt bad watching the
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: show because I thought he loved me and was faking
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: dating for her. But then I thought my boyfriend could
- 1:10:18Speaker 1: be engaged this someone else. Now, wait a second, did
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: she pick him up at the airport in an outfit?
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: If she's watching the show back? Does she? Is she
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: still in contact with him? We're not getting like their
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: actual Uh? Well, he said she didn't just say ghosted.
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: Her says uh. When Wyatt got home, he never returned
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: her calls, never confronted her, never called, or never explained
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: himself until they ran into each other at a music
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: venue this month, and he said, Hey, how you've been?
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: And I said, how do you think I've been? She recalls.
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: I asked him, you didn't think I deserved a phone call?
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: And he said, I didn't know what to say. They
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: never spoke again about their relationship. It says that they
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: met last October in Nashville, State in a relationship. Even
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: after he got the official phone call in February to
- 1:11:12Speaker 1: join the cast. The two took a romantic trip to
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: the Bahamas, where they said I love you for the
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: first time, and he called me when he landed in
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: l A to take part in filming, and he said
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: I love you, I'll call you when I get back.
- 1:11:27Speaker 1: I love you, and then I this is this is
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: a little juicy tidbit as well. He wanted a platform.
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: He kept telling me I don't want my dad to
- 1:11:36Speaker 1: have to help pay for my rent anymore. He said
- 1:11:40Speaker 1: he wanted to be top five, to be a major player,
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: so that would be beneficial. Oh okay, well team Tyler
- 1:11:49Speaker 1: for me. I guess Hey, yeah, hey guys, how's your
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: top three looking? So? I really like Conor. I love

- 1:12:12Speaker 1: that tax before we literally just said I've been Ashley.
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: Oh hey, Heather fall along with us here. This podcast
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: went from being one that I didn't know what we
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: talked about because the episode really wasn't that great and
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: just kind of dragged along the one that was absolutely
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: freaking fantastic. Man, I'm feeling good about this podcast. It
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: was one that we didn't know what we're going to
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: talk about, uh, but luckily it ended up being one
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: of the most news were the most breakings. I mean,
- 1:12:41Speaker 1: thank you Lauren and Chris and thank you People Magazine
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: and Jed for coming out with these stories because it
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: made for a podcast to remember. Speaking of podcast to remember,
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: I already continues to pump out some awesome content and
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: we love to know what men think. We just talked
- 1:12:58Speaker 1: about the podcast with Luke. What does it mean when
- 1:13:01Speaker 1: a man has uh something to communicate that's difficult. What
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: does it mean when a man struggling, uh, maybe with
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: the rectile this function? What does it mean, uh, when
- 1:13:13Speaker 1: you find your kids looking at porn? Well, these are
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: all the topics that this next podcast is gonna be
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: talking about. We do an interview with Brooks Like you
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: might know him from playing hockey, you might know him
- 1:13:25Speaker 1: from being Julianne Huff's husband. Well, he is starting a
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: podcast with I Heart Radio and Gavin DeGraw that will
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: answer some of the questions about what men are thinking.
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: It's built for men and women. Here's the interview. Take
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: a listen. I Heart continues to do exciting things. Actually,
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: and I always love to support my Heart and anything
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: that's joining our podcast team. Actually, isn't it a wild
- 1:13:49Speaker 1: to think that we were the very first? Yeah, that's
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: what I was thinking. There's very few things in life
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: I can take pride in and go we started this,
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: we started any questionable like okay, no, we started UM
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: and we have new members of our team, and I
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: want to introduce you. We're starting starting a podcast called
- 1:14:10Speaker 1: How Men Think That? Do you like that? Yes? I
- 1:14:13Speaker 1: think it's gonna be helpful. Jared will listen to this podcast. Yeah. Well,
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: I've always thought that this is like needs to be
- 1:14:18Speaker 1: happening more in the world, like Steve Harvey will have
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: a panel every now and then, you know, like all
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: the talk shows. But I'd love a podcast you just
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: tune in to hear men's interpretations of female and male interactions.
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: And it's actually going to be intelligent, which is surprising. Uh.
- 1:14:32Speaker 1: Speaking of intelligence, Yeah, we have Brooks Like and Gavin Degral.
- 1:14:37Speaker 1: Devin Gavin Degral is flying in, but the host of
- 1:14:41Speaker 1: the podcast, Brooks Like and Gavin DeGraw Brooks is here
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: in studio. Brooks, what do you think of this deal? Man?
- 1:14:48Speaker 1: I'm excited, um one, and I feel like I have
- 1:14:51Speaker 1: a lot to say. But the other gentleman too that
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: we're gonna have conversations with um it's gonna be entertaining.
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: But we also want to do a value for men
- 1:15:01Speaker 1: that are listening. We want to um, provide insight to
- 1:15:04Speaker 1: some of the problems, some of the issues that men
- 1:15:07Speaker 1: maybe deal with, and also for women. We want to
- 1:15:09Speaker 1: make it an open forum for women to get a
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: little insight to a man's brain. Every girl wants the code.
- 1:15:15Speaker 1: It's not going to be vice versa. We're just more
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: outspoken about it. But like guys want to crack the
- 1:15:20Speaker 1: woman code to that's true. Um, it's probably not all
- 1:15:22Speaker 1: gonna be everything you want to hear. UM, it's gonna
- 1:15:26Speaker 1: be raw, it's gonna be honest. There's gonna be a
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: lot of We're gonna go into some areas. UM. I'm
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: gonna ask the guys to be vulnerable and share things
- 1:15:33Speaker 1: in their life. It's not gonna be fluff. UM. So
- 1:15:36Speaker 1: that's kind of our commitment to our listeners is we're
- 1:15:38Speaker 1: going to dive into this. We want to be authentic
- 1:15:40Speaker 1: and real and genuine. Um, but we also want to
- 1:15:43Speaker 1: have some fun with it. So you have some noble
- 1:15:45Speaker 1: men that are teaming up with you, and they're sitting
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: around the table right now. As I mentioned, Gavin DeGraw
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: is not here with us. We obviously know Gavin uh
- 1:15:55Speaker 1: from the music he plays and and Brooks, do you
- 1:15:57Speaker 1: know Gavin personally. My wife knows him. UM, my brother
- 1:16:00Speaker 1: in law's girlfriend knows him. He's been on Dancing with
- 1:16:03Speaker 1: the Stars, which is a lot of my family now,
- 1:16:05Speaker 1: from my wife and my brother in law, um, and
- 1:16:08Speaker 1: everybody raves about him, which I absolutely love hearing. So
- 1:16:11Speaker 1: let's go around the table for a second and let
- 1:16:13Speaker 1: these noblemen introduce themselves one a time. I think, name
- 1:16:18Speaker 1: what you bring to the table and maybe what you
- 1:16:20Speaker 1: do for a career that offers some insight into this podcast.
- 1:16:25Speaker 1: Right now, we have three other co hosts in the room. Well,
- 1:16:29Speaker 1: I'm Debatrie pappas Um. I'll tell you I've I've spent
- 1:16:33Speaker 1: probably a better half of twenty years writing for people
- 1:16:37Speaker 1: in Hollywood, writing comedy and stuff like that, and I've
- 1:16:40Speaker 1: seen a lot of people, i mean today's day and
- 1:16:42Speaker 1: age people just say what they think you want to hear,
- 1:16:45Speaker 1: and they polished themselves up. And I have no intention
- 1:16:48Speaker 1: of doing that. I'm here to honest tell you, honestly
- 1:16:50Speaker 1: what I think, to tell you honestly what men think,
- 1:16:53Speaker 1: and you know, you know, whatever you want to know.
- 1:16:57Speaker 1: I think this group here is willing to tell you.
- 1:16:59Speaker 1: Are you to meet you with that what is your fear.
- 1:17:01Speaker 1: Is there any fear of the consequences of opening up
- 1:17:05Speaker 1: like that? No, there's no fear. I think I think
- 1:17:08Speaker 1: people need to be honest. I think people need to
- 1:17:10Speaker 1: just listen. If that's what's really happening, why not just
- 1:17:12Speaker 1: share it? Because what happens people do a profile thing,
- 1:17:14Speaker 1: or they go on on a dating app and they
- 1:17:16Speaker 1: put a false picture or whatever. First day you realize
- 1:17:19Speaker 1: that's not the person. So why not? And to be honest,
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: I'm married for fourteen years. I have four kids, so
- 1:17:24Speaker 1: I have nothing to lose. Because I was gonna say,
- 1:17:27Speaker 1: now what about I was going to be like, now,
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: what are your qualifications for that? Um? Okay, let's start
- 1:17:34Speaker 1: with Rick's names mentioned. Yes, what I want to try
- 1:17:38Speaker 1: to bring to this this podcast is basically you, like
- 1:17:41Speaker 1: with Dmitri's referring to, is kind of the true value
- 1:17:43Speaker 1: and being open about whether it's feelings or situations that
- 1:17:46Speaker 1: we've been in before or raising kids. Um, and yeah,
- 1:17:50Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to joining everybody. Thank you. So I'm
- 1:17:53Speaker 1: Ryan like Dmitri, I've been writing in Hollywood for the
- 1:17:58Speaker 1: past fifteen or so years. Uh. For me, I think
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: I have a two year old at home, and I
- 1:18:04Speaker 1: have another one on the way. So I think what's
- 1:18:07Speaker 1: really interesting for me is that we all are in
- 1:18:09Speaker 1: a different stage in our life. Dmitri has four kids,
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: you know, Brooks is married, you know, kids on the way.
- 1:18:16Speaker 1: Gavin is single, Rick has two kids older age. So
- 1:18:19Speaker 1: I think it's going to be interesting to kind of
- 1:18:21Speaker 1: see where we all are in our respective lives. What's
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: exciting for me. So I'm just looking here at the
- 1:18:28Speaker 1: topics that will be h even on the first podcast,
- 1:18:31Speaker 1: and the one that stands out to me that I
- 1:18:32Speaker 1: think is an incredibly exciting conversation porn found on Son's phone.
- 1:18:40Speaker 1: Here we go, Let's do this thing, are right now,
- 1:18:46Speaker 1: I'm really going to tune in. Make sure you too,
- 1:18:48Speaker 1: I hope. So, um, you know the I think this
- 1:18:54Speaker 1: is definitely gonna be a lot of fun, hopefully really funny.
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: As you can tell, these guys are jacked about it.
- 1:18:59Speaker 1: Let's take a second. Turn it back to Brooks. Brooks,
- 1:19:02Speaker 1: this is you know, our listeners out here mostly Bachelor fans. Yeah,
- 1:19:06Speaker 1: they're pursuing love some way, they're in love, they like
- 1:19:09Speaker 1: watching love stories, but they're very loyal to the Bachelor.
- 1:19:14Speaker 1: Are you loyal to the Bachelor. I am I will
- 1:19:17Speaker 1: say this, I am now um because my wife really
- 1:19:22Speaker 1: my wife. Yeah, my wife is Julian Huff and she
- 1:19:26Speaker 1: I mean we watched The Bachelor almost religiously. No. Um,
- 1:19:29Speaker 1: we have a theater room in our basement of our
- 1:19:31Speaker 1: house and so we do it down there. But um,
- 1:19:33Speaker 1: my baptism into the Bachelor world. I was still playing hockey.
- 1:19:37Speaker 1: I came home from Toronto. We were on the All
- 1:19:39Speaker 1: Star break. I think we had two days off and
- 1:19:41Speaker 1: I came home from Toronto and my wife is like,
- 1:19:43Speaker 1: tonight is Bachelor night, babe, And I'm like, I don't
- 1:19:46Speaker 1: know what that is, sports guy, I don't. I don't
- 1:19:48Speaker 1: know what's what's bachelor night? And she's like, well, I
- 1:19:50Speaker 1: host friends at the house here and I turned the
- 1:19:53Speaker 1: whole house into a bachelor party. And I'm like, okay,
- 1:19:55Speaker 1: well let's do it. Would be a good way for
- 1:19:56Speaker 1: me to see people I haven't seen in a couple
- 1:19:58Speaker 1: of months. Anyway, Cookie show up, balloons show up, Candy
- 1:20:01Speaker 1: show up is probably like the twelfth sits down to
- 1:20:07Speaker 1: the final five or and she and turns out she
- 1:20:11Speaker 1: would theme it every week. It would be heart shaped everything.
- 1:20:14Speaker 1: So balloons candies, cookies, but then it would be pizza
- 1:20:18Speaker 1: week one week, next week could be taco week, next
- 1:20:20Speaker 1: week could be sushi week. Bachelor parties, and it got outrageous.
- 1:20:24Speaker 1: There's like people in our living room like yelling at
- 1:20:27Speaker 1: the TV. Who's their favorite, who's not their favorite? Pay
- 1:20:31Speaker 1: attention though to the episode, because whenever I do watch parties,
- 1:20:33Speaker 1: that gets super frustrated because nobody shuts up. I was
- 1:20:36Speaker 1: over Yeah, so exactly. I was overwhelmed, and I'm like, hey,
- 1:20:39Speaker 1: I had to stop it. I pause a show. This true.
- 1:20:42Speaker 1: I pause the show. I'm like, listen, this is a
- 1:20:44Speaker 1: house of love. This is like this, this like bickering
- 1:20:48Speaker 1: and like tearing down people on the TV. Listen. I'm
- 1:20:50Speaker 1: an athlete, I'm on TV. I don't want people ripping
- 1:20:52Speaker 1: on me when I'm not there. You can't defend myself. Um,
- 1:20:56Speaker 1: you can't do that in this house. And then there's
- 1:20:58Speaker 1: this big debate over and they're like laughed at you.
- 1:21:00Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, they're like they're like, Julianne, get your husband
- 1:21:03Speaker 1: out of here and go back place. But they're like, listen,
- 1:21:07Speaker 1: this is batsor this is damn important to us. Give
- 1:21:10Speaker 1: us this two hour segment to do what we want
- 1:21:12Speaker 1: and then once it ends, then we'll I'll be nice again.
- 1:21:14Speaker 1: It's like, okay, so people are bickering between friends or
- 1:21:18Speaker 1: you guys are making fun of people on the show.
- 1:21:19Speaker 1: Some people are making fun of people in the show.
- 1:21:21Speaker 1: Other people are like that one's gonna win. This one's
- 1:21:23Speaker 1: gonna win. Other people like I like her or like
- 1:21:25Speaker 1: him or whatever. Like it was just it was a
- 1:21:28Speaker 1: lot for a guy that hadn't been in that kind
- 1:21:31Speaker 1: of an environment. So but now I actually really enjoy
- 1:21:34Speaker 1: the show. My wife and I watch it a lot.
- 1:21:36Speaker 1: Um It's it's actually be kind of become a fun
- 1:21:40Speaker 1: thing for my wife and I to share. I you know,
- 1:21:42Speaker 1: it's funny. One of our favorite things. And we've done
- 1:21:44Speaker 1: a couple of segments is the celebrities or people of
- 1:21:47Speaker 1: influence like politicians and who watched the show and who
- 1:21:52Speaker 1: gained perspective and show or former athletes, former athletes always
- 1:21:55Speaker 1: cracking up love it. We a few months ago we
- 1:22:00Speaker 1: interviewed Scotty McCreery and he and his wife are huge
- 1:22:03Speaker 1: fans of the show. They actually we we found that
- 1:22:06Speaker 1: we were going to interview him, and I remember this
- 1:22:08Speaker 1: at the time, and we all got so excited and
- 1:22:10Speaker 1: then he sits down and he's like, we said Scotty
- 1:22:12Speaker 1: were big fans. He goes, oh, no, no, no, I
- 1:22:14Speaker 1: I love the show. And Tassha happened to be with us.
- 1:22:16Speaker 1: Tasso's on Cold and Seas of the Bachelor, and she
- 1:22:18Speaker 1: stands up and he goes, hey, Tasha, you are a favorite,
- 1:22:21Speaker 1: and it's like, this is just the weirdest deal for us,
- 1:22:23Speaker 1: and I've never told you, guys, I never told you. Um,
- 1:22:27Speaker 1: oh my gosh, what's his name? Um? The guy who
- 1:22:29Speaker 1: was married to Courtney Cox, David Orkatt, David Arkutt, So
- 1:22:33Speaker 1: he one time came up to us at a pumpkin patch.
- 1:22:36Speaker 1: Jared's obsessed with Scream, like so obsessed with the Scream franchise,
- 1:22:40Speaker 1: and David Arkutt just chill comes up to us and
- 1:22:43Speaker 1: he goes, hey, guys, good to see you. And then
- 1:22:46Speaker 1: Jared's like, it's am I being punked right now? Like
- 1:22:49Speaker 1: Jared said, am I being punked right now? He's like, Noice,
- 1:22:51Speaker 1: a huge fans wanted to come say hi, and he's like,
- 1:22:54Speaker 1: I'm obsessed with you, dude. It was hilarious and you
- 1:22:57Speaker 1: really had to be there for this moment. But the
- 1:23:00Speaker 1: way he was so nonchalant about it, like we were
- 1:23:02Speaker 1: just old friends was awesome. That's cool, Brooks and I
- 1:23:05Speaker 1: share something very special that we need to share here
- 1:23:07Speaker 1: on the podcast. A wedding planner Troy Williams. So, you guys,
- 1:23:13Speaker 1: your wedding cover of People magazine, Um, viral video. Everybody
- 1:23:18Speaker 1: was obsessed with your wedding video and video. Well it
- 1:23:22Speaker 1: was just like video three minutes you know that went
- 1:23:27Speaker 1: viral my wife released. Yeah, So anyway, UM, definitely an
- 1:23:34Speaker 1: inspiration as one of the reasons that we chose Troy.
- 1:23:37Speaker 1: We were friends with him beforehand. But you know, you know,
- 1:23:39Speaker 1: when Julianne goes with somebody to plan her wedding, it's
- 1:23:43Speaker 1: somebody good. You were in fantastic hands. Um. Troy absolutely
- 1:23:47Speaker 1: killed it. I don't know how involved Jared is in
- 1:23:49Speaker 1: the planning. Is very very much in agreeance on almost everything. Okay,
- 1:23:53Speaker 1: this is how ours went. My wife did everything, and
- 1:23:55Speaker 1: then when she got stuck, she would be like, I
- 1:23:57Speaker 1: would be like, just bring me two options, and then
- 1:24:00Speaker 1: she would because her and Troy, I mean, they have
- 1:24:01Speaker 1: exceptional taste and I'm I don't let's be honest, I don't.
- 1:24:06Speaker 1: So but then when they got stuck. They bring me
- 1:24:08Speaker 1: two options. I'd say I like this one best, and
- 1:24:09Speaker 1: then they would just take care of it. But you
- 1:24:11Speaker 1: are in fantastic hands with Troy. It will be the
