  Speaker 1: This is the Benn and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: with our radio. It's a big day for the Almost
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: for his podcast. We have our very first contestants from
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: this season of The Bachelor on and they just happened
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: to be the twins, Joey and Justin. What's going on, guys?
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: I was happy to be here. It's uh, you know,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: there's so much to break down now. Uh, we had
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: a lot of anticipation. Uh, for I think officially you
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: probably know better me the first two twins that are
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: brothers on the franchise. Is this true? Yeah, first friends,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: first one's ever. Yeah, it's exciting. It's exciting for us
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: that you can be a part and be able to
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: do that. So, you know, they before the season started,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: we kind of broke down all the guys, we know
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: nothing about any of you until the first episode airs. Uh,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: we did have a sneak peek into your life because
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: you do have a pretty large social media presence, so
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: we thought, hey, we're gonna get to like we thought
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: you two were gonna be characters who were on the
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: show for a while. We didn't really get to know
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: you though. You a home a night one. Why do
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: you think that happened. Um, I mean there's multiple factors.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of great guys in the show. Um,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: it's the this season two has the most men ever,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: so I think just um, you know, as Twins is
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: a little bit different. It's a little hard to I guess,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: connect with Gabby and Rachel with the way while we
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: approach things, but you know, you're taken instrude and Joey's
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: want to add to that as well. Yeah, definitely, So
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: I kind of feel like, I guess our initial approach
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: going and was kind of to be to approach them separately,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: but you know how Night one works then it's really
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: hectic that time. We just wanted to get our time
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: with them as soon as we could, So, um, the
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: double approach is kind of what we wanted to do,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: and um it just didn't work for us with Gabby
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: and Ray too. But um, so there's a lot of
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: factors that involved it, but which didn't get to build
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: a strong connection with them and right from the geta. Now,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: looking back, if you could redo Night one, would you
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: have gone with the same approach or not? Looking back
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: on that one, probably definitely not, probably because we definitely
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: would have just tried to take them separately, take a
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Gabby separately, Rachel separate, and not through the double approach
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: because we think it to have guess the comma really
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: wanted to have the kind of personal comments between each other,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: So definitely going back probably would have switching things up.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Do you agree with that justin Yeah? I do. Uh,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: I think too. In in the real world, in itself,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: we don't really approach it that way either. We kind
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: of if we do see two girls that we do
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: maybe friends that we do like, we would approach them,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: but we like to take them separate to kind of
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: let them understand who we are as individuals. And I
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: think that didn't really come across and that way became
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: more of a friendly vibe and that's not how we are.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: So it was for us to a new experience and
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: going forward, if I could change it, that's kind of
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: what I would do. Take him to the side, Gavine
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: and Rachel do it. Yeah, let's talk about that. I'm
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: really interested how life looks outside the show for you,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: because this is no matter what, it's a it's a
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: weird way to date. Uh, it's a fantastic opportunity when
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: it goes well, and it also sometimes doesn't go well
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: in the real world. In a more traditional sense, do
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: YouTube date together? Do you go out together? When you do,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: do you got out of tension between the two of you, Like,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: how do you date in the real world when the
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: two of you are standing side by side? Yeah, so
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: we're out. We don't. Well, we go out together a
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: lot obviously where we have the same I'll have similar
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: friends saying groups, so we always go out together without
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: both of us. But when in dating perspective, we don't.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: We don't look for best friends. It's best friends or
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: two girls that seem to like us both. We kind
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: of vibe with them, but we kind of just see
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: who we're just out in approach that we want and
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: if I like someone, he'll and he likes someone else
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: because wingman help him out or help me out. So
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: it's kind of like a balance between us both or
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: even if we go out separately with like he just
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: goes out with my friends, I stay in do the
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: same thing. So we don't really need our tandem to
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: really date, but it definitely helps us in the dating
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: well for sure. That was that was my question my
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: father up was do you feel like being you know,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: two good looking twins? Uh, when you do you feel
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: like this helps you? And how often when you're out
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: in public are you discussing the fact that you're twins? Like,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: are people just like asking the very obvious question like
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: what's it like to be twins to the two of you?
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: All the time? Yeah? That it's got to happen at
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: least I don't know. Yell, we probably what and and
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: times to day. I mean we are out together, we
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: hear it and where used to it now for years?
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: But um, in general, yeah, I mean you get those
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: basic questions and it's a conversation starter right away, right,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, you don't really see a lot of twins
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: out there, and if they're together, a lot of twins
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: they do separate too, and we are separate at times
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: as well, but when we're together, it's definitely something people
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: don't see. And you know, it works out for us
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: and I enjoy it. But at times, you know, you
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: want to be an individual too. You don't want to
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: just be just want people to know your name. So
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, well, I want to flash back now to
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: when the opportunity even came about. How did it happen
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: that the two of you even got asked to be
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: on the show. But yeah, so, um kind of just
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: kind of just came about how to know or honestly,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: it was just I was always we were just always
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I personally. Actually, I think Justin more so than me
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: watch the show a little bit more from the beginning,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: since he was since we were younger, and I kind
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: of just like obviously just here amount out of nowhere
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: and kind o like maybe we'll do it. We were
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: considering maybe we'll just do it separate and one of
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: us goes and see how that goes instead of really
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: going together because we just didn't know what to do
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: in that sense. But and then we're like, hey, maybe
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: if we both have the opportunity would be good for us,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: because um, I saw my dating life before this kind
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: of a relationship about two years before this and pretty
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: creates off our break and I was just kind of
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: like I took to myself for two years to really
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: figure out what I want to relationship and where to
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: go with it, and it just came about something it's
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: perfect time for me, and that's kind of where I
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: kind of took that approach and Justin might be different. Yeah,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I was kind of new but I was signing up
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: for it when I took the offer. Um, but I was.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I've been single for one and a half years now,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: and um, it's been a little bit different. I'm more
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: of a relationship type guy for a while. Joey was
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: a little bit in and out more I was long term.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Uh So it was I knew I was ready to
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: at the moment um, and it was just something I've
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: always wanted to be a part of. And I knew
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the single life is not for me, going around New York,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Connecticut not for me. And I think this opportunity was
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: really what I wanted. Did you too sign up or
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: did somebody kind of reach out to you? Yes, we
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: got someone re stats to us. Actually, um, I've I
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: didn't actually didn't even know the process or anything like
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: sign up. I didn't really know. I didn't really wasn't
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: too involved in that. It just kind of new. But
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: I just kind of saw like this show was very
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: successful and find that connection I was. I thought it
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: was my time for me to do that coming out
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: of that heartbreak. So they just started for the perfect
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: time for me to do it. Yeah. Great, Well, our
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: listeners are always very interested in uh, it's not often
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: that we get kind of a fresh perspective, but the
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: behind the scenes of Night one. I can remember, uh,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: during my time what Night one was like, but I
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: haven't been around for a while. So tell us that
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: for the two of you, kind of how that how
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Night one felt, kind of the process to pulling up
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: to the mansion, walking into the mansion. Just storytell for
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: us a bit on what Night one was like for
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: the two of you. Probably overwhelming in a good way. Um,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: you're meeting a lot of new guys, coming into the
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: limo to go into walking into the man for the
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: first time, it's a surreal experience. I don't think anyone
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: can experience that unless you're a part of it. And
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I know Joey I assume feels the same way. And
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: it was just for me, it was just something surreal.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: I never thought I'd really would ever be a part
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: of Yeah. So yeah for me. Um, also coming into
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: it knowing that this season had the most guys ever
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: a little bit inimidating, because you gotta have a lot
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: it's a lot more people to really, I guess even
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: compete with and kind of to impress. Gabbing Rachel and
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: so going into it, I was like, I don't know
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: how I'm gonna stack up against all these guys, because
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: when we first walked out and solid guys, very good
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: looking group of guys, very charismatic guys. All of them
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: are amazing. So um. But yeah, I feel like for
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: me with out that limo was the most nerracking part
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: out of it at all. It's just you. You see
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: it happen on TV and everything else beforehand, and then
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: you watch and your experience that you really don't think
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: they're actually there. I think I pretty much blacked down
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: as I walked out of the limo. No idea what
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: happened after. So um. But yeah, you definitely have to
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: experience it and be a part of it to really
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: know like this is. It's something crazy. It is absolutely ridiculous.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: You go from a hotel to a mansion and a
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: few days before you were sitting at your house, no
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: clue what life is gonna look like. It is a
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: wild deal that the two of you, uh you know,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: during the hotel stay as you get prepped to go
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: to the mansion, did they have you together or were
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: you separated in your own rooms? So when we first
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: came out, Uh. Yeah, we were separate from each other
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: the whole time, no communication at all, so we had
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: obviously no plan going in with each other. We just
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: kind of knew how we felt, so there's literally no
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: connection nothing though. We weren't talking to each other at all,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: And honestly it felt good though, because we're always with
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: each other all the time, so it felt good to
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: really be away and not talking and actually think about
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: myself for once instead of thinking about his thoughts as well. Yeah,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: so yeah, it was. It was. It was a good
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: experience that I'm glad we actually did that and had
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: something to really be apart from one another. Definitely. Well,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know it was early. You know, you
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: only got a an evening with the two bachelorettes, But
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: was there either bachelor at that really kind of stood
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: out to you? Did you feel like this is something
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: I want to pursue and I would like to be
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: around to try to pursue it. Yeah, definitely, so I
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: was going in more so, I was like a wild
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: card that wasn't really leaning towards rachel or Gabby, but um,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: actually I'm spending a little bit of time with him
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: during that evening. Um, I guess I need a little
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: bit more towards Rachel uh connecting with our Italian side.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: We had a conversation about our families and being Italian stuff,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: and I feel like I had a little bit of
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: great connection with her that I did um with Gabby.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: But that's not to say at getting connect with Gabby dogs.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: I didn't get enough time with them, so I really
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: can't choose one side. But um, I can definitely to
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: pursue something with him if I had the opportunity. Just
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: a few more questions here for you. We had Rachel
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: and Gabby on the podcast last week and able to
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: talk to them about their experience before the episode aired.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: You know, uh we we spoke with him about the
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I guess the decision to have you and Roby uh
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: and Justin leave on night one and kind of pulling
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: you aside. I told them that I felt like, oh,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: that had to be brutal. They said, Hey, they respected
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: you guys, and they liked you guys enough that they
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: wanted to give you that moment. Are you um happy
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: with how they said goodbye or would you have rather
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: have been done in a rose ceremony? Me? Um? For
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: me personally, Honestly, I respect them completely for doing that
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: because they knew what they want to write from the front,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: right from upfront, instead of having to go through a
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: rose ceremony and everything. That kind of knew that they
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: just didn't have a connection right away. So I actually
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: respect the decision to do that and a pulse the
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: side instead of having to go through everything and make
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: it even longer than it actually should be because other
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: guys are more time with them in that sense, and um,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: and you know, I respect the decision for it. I'm
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: not I'm not at them at all. I'm happy that
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: they knew right away and that they didn't want to
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: pursue any candy further. So, yeah, I wondered, it's it's
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: never easy. There's never a right way to say goodbye
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: to somebody, uh, and it never feels good. But that
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: was I respect them for at least thinking it through
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: and saying, hey, we think we want to give them
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: this appetituity. Yeah, definitely, it was tough. Definitely, it was tough.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Definitely got going through it and kind of being pulled
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: outside because I I was actually in the in the
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: rows room and we heard that they called us down.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: I was like, I don't know what's happening right now,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: like it might going home or something else happening. I
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: had no idea what was happening that moment, So um,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: it was definitely tough to really be a part of
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: that and kind of have that little small conversation. But
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm happy they took it in that way,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: and kind of the only thing I regret is not
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: being able to say but I to all the guys beforehand.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: That's the only thing I wish I was able to do,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: because they're all great guys. I met them that first night,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: But that's the only thing I regret that the whole time. Yeah,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: do you feel like you made, like even on Night one,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: some friendships or some guys that you'd like to keep
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: in touch with. Yeah? No, Yeah, definitely, because even though
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: it's just night one, still everyone's going through it and
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: um and we're still all have that experience, and I
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: connected with a lot of the guys and we had
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: a lot of conversations for the entire time we were
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: filming it. So yeah, definitely build some relationships that were
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: definitely connects outside of the show. That's great, and that's
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: one of the big you know, one of the biggest
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: takeaway is always there anybody is just to have friendships
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: come from this weird experience. If you're there for one night,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: if you're there for you know, two months, or however
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: long it lasts. Nowadays, the feeling though for you and
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: I mean Justin is his his audio is kind of
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: clicking in and out here, so he's going to rejoin
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: us hopefully in a second. But if you could speak
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: kind of what you guys have talked about, what was
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: that that feeling like when they called your name out,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Joey and Justin and Roby? Uh did did your heart sink?
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Were you excited? Nervous? Um? So, I mean when I
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: called my name out, at first, I was like, because honestly,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: I've never been a part of a roaster, mind something like,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: is this something new that they're trying to do or
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: something like I thought at first he was like, Oh,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: maybe it was because we did speak to them together,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: like maybe they wanted to talk with us separately about something,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: maybe more time with us before making a decision. I
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: had no idea. I wasn't sure because I was like,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know, because I was like it was different
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: and then but I was also nervous. I'm like, this
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: is possible that I'm leaving right now because right now
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: is the ROS ceremony. And then when they came into
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: the ROS sermon, was Castole like, that's it's something's definitely up.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: I was just I was nervous, my heart kind of
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: saying while I was staying up there, it didn't really
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: know how to process it. But I'm like, maybe this
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: will go good, maybe bad. It wasn't really hoping. I
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: was hoping pretty good obviously, but um, I wasn't expecting
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: anything that had no expectation go again. Um, So I
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: was just just wanted to see what was happening and
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: really know what was going to happen. But I was
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: definitely definitely nervous feeling though for sure. Yeah, it's never
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: it's just anytime your name gets called out, it's never
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: right deal on the show like that. The Okay, so
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: you go back home after night one, Uh, I'm sure.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Just I mean just kind of like we had here
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: at the at the podcast, we had high expectations for
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: you and Justin's storyline and getting to know you too
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: better and seeing you know what you're all about. You
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: go home I'm sure the people at home were like, hey,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: this is gonna be a home run, like you're too
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: good looking twins. Um, then you show up. What was
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: your reaction like when you got back home? Um, I
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: mean I didn't Honestly, when I coming home, I didn't
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: see a lot of people that I was on They
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: found out probably beforehand. But um, there are some people
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: weren't shocks. They thought we're gonna do well, um, and
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: kind of push it because they know I am when
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: I'm out, I'm a very social person and everything, so
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: they kind of they feel like, yeah, they're gonna do
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: very well with with each other. They balanced off each
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: other well. And there's also when they found there were
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: two bachelorettes, even greater chance, you know, to to really
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: make a mark. Um, They're like, yeah, this is gonna
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: be a good opportunity for them. But they were a
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: little shocked, but they kind of knew if and if
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: it didn't work out, just didn't work out, and they
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: were happy with it that I even have the chance
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: to even be a part of it. So yeah, yeah,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: it's uh, I've always thought, you know, I my storyline
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: was a little different, but I always even when I
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: went home. Um, during my time on the Bachelorette, it
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: was really hard to one explain all that had happened
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: and too uh have to try to fill the gaps
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: for the people that weren't there. It's just an uncomfortable,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: you know, conversation. And you get asked that all the time,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: like everybody wants to know about it. Yeah. I always
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: get asked it like what happened? What exactly happened? And
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: I'm obviously I'd to keep things personal to myself in
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: that way, but um, yeah, I always asked me about
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: what I what exactly was happening, what went down, and
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I just didn't work out in my favor,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: but um, and there's I'm just happy I would be
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: able to do it. So yeah, well, as we close
