  Speaker 2: Hello everyone, and welcome to the Almost Famous Podcast. Today
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Ben and I will be recapping episode two of Joey's season. Ben,
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: how did you like this episode?
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: I have a lot of questions for you, Ashley. I
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: don't think you're gonna.
• 0:18
  Speaker 4: Like, why does it have to do with Sydney?
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: Well, there's gonna be so many questions. We're not gonna
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: like why what did I think of this episode? I
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: will tell you as we go through the episode. Overall, like,
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: just my overall feeling is like it was a good
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: Bachelor episode. I do have some moments where I was
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: like I could fast forward this and not miss a beat.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: But overall, good Bachelor episode, good start to the season.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: Let's start, Ashley with the first group date. I think
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: that's really the first moment that the show really starts
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: to pick up. It's my first kind of comment here
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: is you know what it is. It's a way date
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: and it's the.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Wedding date, which they insist on. Okay, guess they love it.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Guess it's going to happen every season.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: They must be getting good feedback, right because they do
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: like period. They get these good.
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: I think they get good emotion from the girls.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Okay, I mean sure, I can see that obviously it
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: happened here. Well, the big storylines during this day it
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: is a group date. We are one, you know, week
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: into the show. I can claim I know more girls
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: by name during this season so far than I really
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: have probably in well since you know, since yes is
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: my season. So I do think I'm getting more. Say
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: why is that?
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: I feel like I'm getting to know them quickly. I
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: don't know, there's like just unique faces or what. But
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: I think I know of their remaining twenty two, I
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: might know all their names. Or there's twenty two that
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: start out this episode, and then there's even less at
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: the end of the episode, and I think I might
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: know everybody's name that remains.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Now, goodness great, Well that's impressive. I can't claim that.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, it is our job to a certain point,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: so I try try to keep track.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: You're professional, I'm not. But I do think also the
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: lack of drama on night one really helped that because
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: we did get to get to know some of the women.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: I also believe a lot of these women do have
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: unique stories and so those unique stories help us kind
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: of help them stand out or at least make those connections.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: I think that's helped. But this group date is as
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: as we said, a wedding dress date. They are all
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: getting married. Instead of like weird individual pictures in front
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: of all the girls, now they're just all getting married
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: at this wedding. There seems to be some you know,
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: strangers that are invited in. The interesting point to the
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: start of this date is as they're all in the
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: van talking, they're kind of sharing about what their wedding
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: day would look like. And it brings up specific emotions
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: for Lauren because Lauren mentions that her and Allison's dad
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: had recently passed.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Away and seven months ago.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: And I would like, this was what could I say?
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: Like?
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: That really got me. I don't know if it's just
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: you know, anytime there's it during this show or in life,
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: when somebody talks about their their family members passing, it
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: just really makes me go internal or at least me
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: feel for them. This moment really did make me feel
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: for them. For her, and I get what she was saying.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: She's like, well, when I picture my wedding day, it's
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: not going to look like what I thought it was.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: H Yeah, it's super sad. And then I like go
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: into the whole like my parents were getting older, Holy
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: grow up, you know, so I definitely get into that.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: And then we see in this group day had so
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: many elements to it, and it had a lot of
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: the girls stand out in different ways, like oh my gosh,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Evelyn jumping over the table when she he's stuck with
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Like Evelyn jumping over the table. That was a statement
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: moment during the musical chairs, which love musical chairs moment.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: We should totally bring this back more a like adult parties. Yes, yeah,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: and then let's see I saw a lot of chemistry
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: between him and Rachel when they had that dance, when
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: he picked her for the dance, and I didn't expect
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: to see that, and it was it was there. Him
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: and Jess continue to be pretty cute together. The cupcake,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: the whole left handed thing, anything else.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: I don't think that. I mean, I don't think they
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: have any chemistry quite honestly.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: And Jess.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think him and Jess have any chemistry.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but I think he likes I like think he
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: likes her as a person.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Sure, that's great. There's not like good he gave her
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: the rose though at the group date. Yeah, I have
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: I have a feeling that Jess's confidence is going to
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: be inflated into the moment it's not okay. You know
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: those storylines from the show where we have that person
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: who's like way overly excited about you know this, way
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: too early on, and they like it becomes way too
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: much for them very quickly. I think that's what we're
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: gonna see with Jess. I think she's a sweet person,
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: but like, I just don't. I think her takes in
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: interviews have been way overly excited about stuff that doesn't
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: really exist yet.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: Okay, I can't understand. I get you get behind that.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Is there anything else from the wedding portion besides Michael
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Bolton that really stands out to you?
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: He's awesome?
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Was he? I feel like Michael Bolton's been around the
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Bachelor here recently.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: He may have been, but I don't think recently. I
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: love a Michael Bolton moment.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's great. I want to know how
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: they get Michael Bolton to come on. These films are
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: too young to appreciate though, well, they're all singing they're
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: all dancing, but they I don't know if they fully
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: appreciate it. I want to know too, what does that
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: call look like? I mean, Michael Bolton is a huge
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: star to be like, what's he doing with his time
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: now that he's like, yeah, I'll go sing for forty
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: people at a bachelor show. I mean, it is good exposure.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: It must have worked out. It must work out for him.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: But I actually think he's sick. I think he has cancer.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: He still has a great voice, he's really good. But
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: the wedding portion of this, it was exactly what you said,
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Rachel and him f chemistry. It did bring out emotions.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: I do think Lauren in this not talking to him
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: and not feeling like she is ready to talk to
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: him is something important. I also want to point out, though,
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: because this episode kind of goes in a weird direction
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: after a while, I was very intrigued, not impressed, but intrigued,
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: and then also like grateful for Maria's care of Lauren
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: in these moments. She felt like she really didn't want
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: to care for her well, and her advice was good.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: It felt like she was trying to like be that
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: rock for Lauren, and I think That's an important note
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: for us, especially as this episode goes on about Maria's character.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: So so yeah, so I am invested in the Maria
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: storyline as I am friends with Sidney and I did
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: help her get on the show. And Maria is, as
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: you see a little teaser in this episode, not she
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: They're not each other's biggest fans.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: So I watched Maria very carefully.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: To give sid lots of my thoughts, and I did
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: think that she had good moments with Lauren on this
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: on the actual wedding portion of the date.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: What did you think.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Though, when she decided to slip into something more comfortable.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: I thought it was good. I mean, why not? Why not? Like,
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: what's the problem?
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: It wasn't like the first outfit was truly, in my opinion, sexier.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: Okay, that could be. I think it was the it
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: was it was the art of seduction in the sense
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: that I'm going to change into something else for you specifically,
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Do I think it was a move that uh, it's
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: not a move some would make, I guess. But what
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: it does do is it makes her stand out, and
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: it did make I think, Joey say, this girl is
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: trying to get my attention. It was not and it
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: was not overly like.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: Not overly seductive. It wasn't like.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: No, it was like where it was like weird to
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: see on TV. It was like, Okay, you're trying, You're
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: doing something different. It felt like a moment that he
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: will remember.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: I think he's like.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: It was a move for him, not for the girls.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: You know that the girls didn't appreciate that. They thought
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: it was super weird and like that to them would
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: have been moment number one. Okay, I'm watching out for
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: this girl. She's not here for she's not here to
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: make friends.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: No, but this didn't feel like any This isn't as
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: bad as I think stealing somebody when you have already
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: talked to him once like this was her moment with him.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: She isn't there to like make these girls be her
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: best friend. But if they want to be her friend,
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: they can get to know her a little bit. And
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: they're like, Okay, well, Maria is willing to do this
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: to get his attention. This is who Maria is. Does
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: it make me hater? Did she do this to make
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: me look bad?
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: No?
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Did she say something to make me look bad?
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: No?
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: She just did this to get his attention, and as
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: a result, I'm like, I don't see a lot of
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: problem with it.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: It's not is there. It's quite harmless. It really is
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: it quite harmless.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: We've seen worse. I guess I could.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: We sure have.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: And let me just say, Michael Bolton he had a
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: brain tumor and he had to go undergo surgery a
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: couple couple like a month ago. So I wasn't I
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: wasn't off on that, but he seems to be doing fine. Okay,
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: moving on, we wait, let's talk about a couple of
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: the other moments on the group date we had. Jess
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: talks about her like past relationship and like infidelity and
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: how she's super insecure about things, and the girls are
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: just super impressed by how like Joey listens. They're just like, wait,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: you listen and you like like listening to me, like
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: talk about my feelings.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: This is so special.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: I will say this. You know, we've seen it in
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: the past with bachelor's where they are not good at
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: listening or good at kind of reciprocating feelings or emotions
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: or reciprocating response to story human story.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: Right, he is very warm.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: He's warm and he has he does seem to like
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: have He's in tune with what they're saying. He's responding
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: to what they're saying, and he's not just making out
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: with him, which is a big deal as the lead
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: of a show is how you sit in these moments,
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: and right now he's sitting in these moments fantastically. Not
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: because he is putting on a good face. I just
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: think that's who he is.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: He's very comforting.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: He is. He was that in person too when we
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: were on the golf course. He's a good listener.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: Oh that's so sweet.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: I don't mean to like make it to me that
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: should be something that we should be shocked by and
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: a man though, But he does do a great job.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: All right. So let's move on to the one on
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: one date, which is with Daisy.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: And I'm actually shocked that Daisy got the one on
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: one right off the bat, because she was what we
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: said last week to be such a focal point and
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: episode number one that I was like, oh, wow, we're
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: not even going to have like a little break to
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: drag on like her star.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: But we don't. And I guess a lot of.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Them may have to do with the fact that she
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: was going to have to tell him about the cochlear
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: implant pretty early on, just because the way that she
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: can get overwhelmed in the environment with the girls, like
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: with the hearing and.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: Who knows do you do?
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: We often see for the person that is like the
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: star on night one, get the one on one.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: I think it's all about what Joey wants there quite on.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: It, but we know that this is but you've come on,
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: We'll tell us how it goes.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, there's definitely going to be like a multiple voices,
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: but he will have full right to say no, I
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: want to bring her on the first one on one
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: date and people will be like, yeah, but that you know,
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: maybe you want to save it for a different date.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: That's what I mean, like save that. I thought, maybe
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: save that.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: He could say no, I want to bring her and
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: they would say, okay, then you're bringing her now. I mean,
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: I think it would get when when maybe when anybody
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: would put their foot down would be if he was like,
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna bring Daisy on the date this week and
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: next week and the week after that, somebody'd be like, yeah,
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: you can't do that, like that's.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Not oh well yeah of course, Okay, Well then maybe
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: it was intentional on just you know, the other voices side,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: because they were going to a concert and they were
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: going to an event, and I thought, almost at first,
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: I'm like, wait, this is rude. They're putting her in
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: a place where she's gonna have some hearing issues and
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: she's going to have to keep saying like what and
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: she may not be like fully in tune with what
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: he's saying.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: But you didn't pick up on that.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: I don't think it was I don't think there was
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: any malice in it. I think it was Joey saying, Hey,
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: I like this girl. She stood out to me.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: She said she likes she went on a concert, like,
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: she said she.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: Liked music, and I'm going to this concert. That would
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: be fun, and yeah, like I just want to get
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: to know her. I don't think he had any idea
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: about her cochlear implants or her hear it now. I
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: really think he said, hey, I want to take her
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: on a date as soon as possible, and the show said,
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: well why not this week? And he said that would
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: be great. I want to do that. I mean, quite honestly, Ashley,
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: it's good that they did go on this date and
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: I'm sure the show did want a date for them
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: to happen early so that this could be talked about
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: between them, so that she.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Would more comfortable in the moments that she may not
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: be comfortable.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: I will say, Daisy to me right now, I watch
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: this date and actually would say this about Joey and Daisy.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: And I don't think we've had this in a while.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: I think the leads, we could say the leads have
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: had this, and that's just a thing that happens when
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: you're a lead. You're one of few, so people remember
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: you and they could probably pull your name back or
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: your name would be recognizable for a period of time.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: I don't think we've had a contestant be as memorable
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: as what I think Daisy's gonna be, not because of
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: her complications with hearing loss, but just because of who
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: she is, Like she is made for the show. And
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: I say that because there's a scene of her journaling
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: like in a like in a little like daybed by herself.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: She's very sweet, she's funny, she's in tune, she has
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: like this charisma, a beauty about her, and she has
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: this story. I think Daisy will be one of those
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: like legendary Bachelor people that we talk about for years
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: to come, and I haven't said that in year. I mean,
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: I can't even I totally understand.
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: I totally understand what you're saying.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: I do think she's gonna be the next Bachelorette or
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: the person at the end, So I do think that's
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: gonna help her. But she's gonna be memorable, and I
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: think it's gonna be really good for Bachelor Nation because
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: she's I think she's great, and I think she's only
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: going to get more great as time goes on.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: Mm hmm.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: There sit down was very compelling. I was when she
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: was telling her story, I was like, what is it?
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: Like, what what what happened?
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: Why were you getting sick?
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: And we find out that it was lime disease and
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: then she talks about how she went to Germany to
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: get treatment. And now I want to know more about
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: this treatment because she's come back and for two years
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: she's been feeling great.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: I will say this lime disease is of the devil. Yeah,
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's what you know my buddy had at
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: the start of als, It's what people you know, Kelly
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: Flanagan had, It's what people you know, it's right, Ryan
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: Setter has. It's what many people in Colorado have because
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: they hike so much lime disease. And I was like,
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: I wrote this down while I was watching the show.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: I was like, how does the almost famous podcast push
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: the medical world to research line disease more? Because it's
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: becoming so a massive concern of me. It's it's one
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: of the top three most diagnosed infectious diseases in the
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: world in the US right now, and so lime disease
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: is very dangerous. If you have it, I feel for you.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: It sucks, uh, and it is not it's not okay
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: that there's not good answers. I know it probably makes
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: you feel very alone. But it's wild to me that
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: she had lime disease and all this came from that,
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: and that we're still sitting here today. And if you
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: got diagnosed with lime disease actually tomorrow, for whatever reason,
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: you would go to the doctor and they'd say, yeah,
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: we don't really know what to do. Yeah, I'm sorry,
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: like are bad. It's it's wild to me that that's
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: still the case. And so yeah, just it's that's a
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: platform that if anybody's listening and they're like, hey, I
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: want to really do something good. Well, then let's go
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: out and figure out how we can stop blind disease.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: But good, I mean, but again, like you said of
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: very compelling date for Daisy and Joey, I think this
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: date is the start of again something magical between them.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah. He has stars on his eyes, like yeah, yes,
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: yes he does.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: He's almost like nervous, like not nervous and like I
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: can't talk kind of way, but just like he's just
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: kind of sitting there and.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: He's intimidated by her, and it's like really fun and romantic.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: It's good to be intimidated by your you know, by
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: your love interest. It's where you look at him and
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: you go like, I don't know how I got you.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: I don't know how you're sitting here with me. That's
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: a good thing. So the date itself for me, Ashley,
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: there's just no way that Daisy isn't around for the
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: rest of our television screens.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Like, there's just no way she slid into the top
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: three just right there, Top two, okay, top ten.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: Like there's I would bet money on the top two
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: that Daisy is there at the end somehow, some way,
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: and that if she isn't with Joey at the end
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: of this, which I don't for see at this point.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: Then she is the next lead of the show and
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: it's going to be great and the Bachelor so happy
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: because back to back successful seasons. I don't know, but
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: it was a big deal. The next group date, Ashley
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: was shocking to me. This was one that, uh, it
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: was the worst. I don't know if it was the
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: worse it was Jubilee was there. Jubilee was on my life.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: I hadn't heard.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: He hasn't been around for a while. They pulled her
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: out because they obviously wanted to honor an actual veteran
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: during their award ed She's fantastic.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: I mean, she's such a kick ass girl.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: But like Demi and Jubilee and granted, great to see
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: it very random, like completely random.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Right, yeah, who knows, who knows, especially why they picked Demi.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: But we like them both and we're glad that they're
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: they're there, that.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: They're what meeting was happening. When they're like, get rid
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: of a group date, we need to, like, we want
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: to bring two Bachelor people back in to do it,
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: and they're like, who could be Demi and Jubilee, Like
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: what what a combination? First of all, and then I
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: had the same reaction. Do you think Bachelor Nation did.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Like maybe not as much because they'd probably like, it's
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: just the two of them aren't as like personal to them.
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: But I think that it's what school said.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Jubilee was on your season, and she was on two
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: seasons of Paradise but never lasted in Paradise long. And
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: she's still very memorable.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: Oh she's great, like she is. Yeah, she always has
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: been great. And I was so happy to see her
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: on my television. I just think, yeah, that was not
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: on my bingo.
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: I was like, is this a warm up for her
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: to be able to go in Paradise again?
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: Like if that was if that was Draft Kings and
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: it was like chances to see Jubilee again on The Bachelor,
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: I would say, you know, it'd be plus one billion,
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: but I would have made a billion bucks. It was wild.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: The date was like why are we doing here? Because
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: it had no substance. Again, you guys know, I hate
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: like action dates. This one particularly to me, it was
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: like I got nothing, knew nothing about these girls more
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: before it, I mean after it than before it.
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: And Weena is the only one that really stands out
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: during this because she's just so full throttle.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: Well, she's the only one that got screen time. Like
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: we had like an action date and then we just
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: had one person spend time with Joey, which was good.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: But then we don't it's like another one on one
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: it Yeah, it's like a one on one. So we
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: didn't have a cocktail party, we didn't have multiple conversations
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: going on. You know, they had their date. She was competitive.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: She did deserve this. I mean, if you watch the
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: clips back, there wasn't a scene that she wasn't either
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: getting the the heart or falling down chasing after it.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: I mean that she had to be sore, scraped up. Yeah,
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: she still cleaned up nice and looked beautiful and went
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: on this date. I do like her kind of when
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: she got asked to go on in the day, she's like,
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: I don't feel bad about this.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: You know me too, that was fantastic.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: Oh what do you guys want me to do?
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: But I.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: Stay, I know it was so great.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: They did the same thing on my season. We had
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: the tractor date.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: We raced downtown LA and then there he was like,
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: I'm going to pick one person to do like a
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: basically a one on one with Yeah, I mean it's
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: kind of a weird choice for week one to like
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: eliminate so many girls from this you know, quality time
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: but whatever.
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: But but a duena.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: She basically told him about how she grew up in
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: an immigrant family and just always had to be strong
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: and like, you know, not in charge of the household,
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: but like helping running the household and talking about emotions
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: was not a priority for them.
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: It was more of like put your head down, work.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: Suck it up.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: And he really appreciated her vulnerability. They had a nice date,
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: she got the rose, she got some kisses. Anything else
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: to say about that.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: No, I mean I think it was a great date.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: I think that the two of them, I think he
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: needed that kind of night too.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: You know, I was going to say, Ben, because we
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: saw it was at the Less Lake in and how
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: much that's right down the street. Guys, how much do
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: you as a bachelor appreciate when you can just have
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: a nice night in your hotel room.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: Well I always did when football was on, because I
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: get back and watch the second half of the late
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: night game. But I was thinking more, this was a
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: hard date. For a Duena, and the reason is because
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: she was following up on one on one with Daisy,
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: and I think Daisy's date was so present on his mind.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: Probably the next day, he's probably so excited about Daisy
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: that whoever was going to go on that date was
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: going to have a hard time because ultimately, when you
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: are in the Bachelor Bachelor, you're comparing all the time
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: to see who you have a better connection with who
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: you don't. So I think for a Duena to come
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: out of this date with a rose with a kiss
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: is in a sense a win for her and for
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: Joey because he was probably like, I don't want to
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: go on any more dates ever again, like I'm good.
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: Is he gonna pull up Claire?
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: No, he's not, because I do think but the first
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: two weeks is it's really hard because you don't have anything.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: You only have, you know, one date to compare everything
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: else to, and you don't have the forty dates that
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: you'll end up going on from the start to the
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: finish of this show, and so you're kind of like
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: locked in at this point. Over time, he'll start to
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: like less lock in on Daisy and start to have
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: more of a you know a sample size, but right now,
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: I think it was just gonna be a hard date.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: And so I'm glad that she walked away with a rose.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: She's here next week, they'll spend more time together. Now actulely,
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna lead this conversation into the cocktail party. So,
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: as you mentioned earlier friends with Sidney, I thought Maria
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: during this episode, Yes, we could pick out and pick
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: and choose things that were like, hey, that felt weird
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: or that felt awkward. I didn't really see anything. I
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: felt like Maria all together was very normal or very likable,
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: and very kind to the people around her, and very
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: considerate of the emotions that other people were experiencing. And
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: it felt weird to me that your friend Sidney decided
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: to go in this direction, because what I know from
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: Sydney right now, from seeing this show and from hearing
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: from you, she's a very sweet, very confident, she's a
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: business owner. She's really cool. It just doesn't like, even
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: when I'm watching this, and if I would never ever
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: have heard those things from you, I would have been like,
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: this doesn't feel like Sydney, Like this doesn't feel like
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: who she is. This is not a role she needs
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: to play. She needs to stay out of this. She's beautiful,
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: she is strong, she is confident. She is doing something
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: that she should not be doing. And I will go
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: this way, and I want to fight with me on
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: this again. I told you I was gonna put you
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: in a corner. Sidney was wrong, Like, not only should
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: she not be playing this role, she was wrong in
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: her take.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: Oh so I don't think she was wrong in her take,
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: but I will say that she certainly didn't look cool,
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: which I always you know, I always think of her
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: as cool. And she called me on Friday, and they
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: tell you the producers call and they're like, kind of
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: give you a glimpse into what you should expect on
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: Monday's episode, especially if you're you have a big role
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: in the upcoming episode.
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: And she was in panic mode.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: So I was.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Eager to go and watch the episode and try to
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: really look at it from a very objective.
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: Point of view.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: And I was like, well, neither you or Maria look
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: like awful. And neither of you look awful. It's like,
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: no big deal. Your your fight just looks silly.
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: It's just like a dumb argument.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: She I was like, it seems like you're getting into
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: somebody else's business. And then at the same time, I
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: do think Maria when she was talking to was it Lauren,
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: she was like, she's just complaining about being too old.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: It's like I'm old too. She did seem a little
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: condescending about this, the conversation that Medina had about age,
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: But overall, I just think it was like a really
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: silly argument. I don't know how much I'm allowed to say,
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: but I guess I can say this. There was a
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: lot leading up to that that made Sidney annoyed, and
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: what was aired about the whole age conversation is absolutely
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: not what she has been annoyed with Maria.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: Over well, that doesn't matter to me because I don't
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: know what that is. I'm just a fan of this show,
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: and I will say I will still stay firm that
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: she was wrong because I want to see anybody else.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: Why did you think that she was wrong? Because, like
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: I understand that she was being a little condescending when
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: she did that. I don't think she had to go
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: I don't think Sidney had to go over to Medina
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: and be like, hey, just letting I know people are
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: talking shit about you, because it wasn't really like so
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: much talking shit. It was so everything was just like
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: so mild. It nothing should have been really, nothing should
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: have come of that conversation.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: Okay, you want to hear why I think she's wrong. Yeah,
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: well you just explained the first reason she shouldn't have
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: done it because it was very mild and it felt
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: that she did it. So in that sense, I think
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: she was wrong. The second one is typically in these arguments,
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: I because there always is other things. I look for
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: the reaction of others in the house. So who else is? Like,
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: who is else is fighting this battle? Right? Who else is?
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: Remember a couple of years ago, we had Victoria, who
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: was you know, Queen Victoria, and everybody in the house
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: was like, we got to get rid of Queen Victoria.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: She is causing so many issues in this house. In
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: this situation, there's nobody else on Sydney's side, and there's
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: nobody on Maria's side either, but there's just nobody else
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: involving themselves in it. And so as a result, I'm like,
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: it is not a thing. So Sidney, why did you
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: make it a thing?
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: I think if you were, if you're here talking to you,
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: and again, like I don't even think that anything is.
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: It's like it's not worth my breath.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: Like I told her, I was like, if I didn't
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: know you, our recap of this on the podcast would
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: be like two minutes tops. We'd be like, what a
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: silly argument about age? Maybe yeah, she sounded condescending, but
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: like overall not a big deal, like why is this
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: getting airtime? But now that I know her, it's more
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: of a conversation obviously, and I just I just know
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: that there is more. She just there is more. There
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: is more going on.
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: And there is more people that have more opinions.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: But like again, that's like stuff that doesn't make the cut,
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: and it's just like that's how it.
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: Goes on this show.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: So much of what you want to see of your
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: experience doesn't get on and it gets extremely frustrating when
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: you try to explain yourself based on what people have
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: actually seen on.
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: TV and you're like no, no, no, no, like if.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: Only you'd seen this, But it doesn't matter because we
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: don't know that side of it. I I know it
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: doesn't matter because we're talking about this show in particular
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: in this moment. Now here's my conclusion to it. If
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: this was the end of the conversation and this is
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: where it kind of fizzled out. To right, they're all
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: still around. There's the next week.
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: You kind of fizzle out.
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: Then it's nothing.
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: Except for the scenes to the next episode.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, then it's nothing like it's then it's like, yeah,
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: this is a stupid conversation. You guys are tired. You
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: got to go to bed, Like try this again to like,
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: this is nothing. I've seen a lot worse. I've seen
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: fistfights on this.
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: She is so much worse.
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but the scene is from the next episode point to.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: This doesn't stop here. And what my concern is, I
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: agree with you on everything you're saying about Sidney so far.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: She's beautiful. She is from what you tell me and
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: what we see on the show. She is cool, she's confident.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: And what I what I'm worried about is this is
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: going to be the end of Sydney. Like she is
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: going to get herself in a situation that she cannot
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: get out of that she again should never have entered into.
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: And as a result, she was wrong because Sydney should
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: not have been playing in this mess. This was not
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: her mess to play with.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: When Jared and I heard her side of all of this.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: Both of us were.
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: Like, Okay, you should be interesting to.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: See how this airs, because her story was definitely like
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: a she said this and then I said this, and
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: you know like a.
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: Lot of division. There's there's a lot of.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: A lot of division for somebody that doesn't need to
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: be in division.
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so we we you know, we both were like,
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: should be interesting.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: Sure, great responses again, Yeah it sucks for you.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: No, No, I you know I had more hope than
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: Jared does. I still have more hope than Jared does.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: I would love I can't wait to see the next
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: episode because this one I still stand by, Like I
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: want to know the general reaction. I was watching with
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: my sister this episode, and she was like, she's not
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: even you know she likes Sidney. She's met her a
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: few times. She doesn't, but she's not like gonna be
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: blind toward any of that or like really try to
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: stick up for she. She was like, no, Maria doesn't
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: come off She's like, Maria doesn't come across great. So
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: and I will kind of agree, like I don't think
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: Maria comes across as great, but I definitely don't think
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: Sidney's coming across as great. But I think both of
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: them are like kind of like, all right, I don't
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: have really a problem with either of you. See you guys,
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: you know I'm looking from a neutral perspective. I really
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: just think like, no one's like really effed up here.
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: Can you agree though, that Sidney should not have entered
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: in this conversation? Yes?
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, Yeah.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: So like I said, I said, you do look like
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: you're entering into somebody else's business.
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're that person right. Next week will be interesting,
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: it will be intriguing. If I was friends with Sydney,
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: I hope to meet her one day. My advice to
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: her would be going Paradise because people like you always
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: come back shining and a star after the beach. If
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: Paradise ever happens again.
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: No, but she could have win.
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: Ben. I don't see you over Daisy. I don't see
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: it right now, my mind, I see it. Final big
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: thing from this episode is Lauren goes home. It's very
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: anti climatic for somebody that was, you know, made a
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: splash on episode one and kind of making a splash
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: on episode two in a storyline that we're all intrigued by.
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: She just is like, I'm out of here. And I
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: get it. There's a lot of emotion and she doesn't
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: feel like she's like in the right space and headspace
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: for this. And I think the comparison with her sister
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: is probably getting to her. But her exit is very
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: anti climatic. It might be the most anti the antiklmatic
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: exit I've ever seen in the show. She just was
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: like I'm out of here, man, and he's like, okay, cool,
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: I wish I could do something. Sorry, your experience sucked.
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: Here's a cake and she threw it on the grounds
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: like peace and that's it, Like how was all happened?
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess I think it was kind of funny
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: and real, Like she obviously just like emotionally couldn't handle it.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: And maybe it has to do it with like the
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: loss of her father. She's probably just in like a
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: very emotional stake constantly, like you know, up and down
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: all the time, Like she said, like the grief isn't linear,
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: and she was just like, you know, I guess I
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: can't handle this, and you know, everybody has that panic
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: moment this week. There's like something about Week two, like
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: I had a toll of what's shocking now a total
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: meltdown week two over some really stupid stuff.
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: Could not catch my breath.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: One of the executive producers like took me out the back.
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: Door and was like, listen, you're good.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: Like everybody has that moment week too. They're like, I
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: don't know if I can do this. You either pushed
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: through it and you usually real fine after that, or
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: you're just like, I gotta leave.
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: And she just had to leave.
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, at least it makes.
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: Her a better situation for her sister.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I agree, she did have to leave.
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: I liked Lauren. I liked her on TV too.
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: I like her vibe and she was good TV.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: She was like that great you know that she's from Philly,
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: that Jersey vibe.
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: Very I thought she was going to be a mean
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: girl and she never was. She was like more just
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: mean to herself, like she was great. So we do
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: have quite a few exits this week. Obviously, the two
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: that stand out Taylor, who made a lot of screen
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: time with her commentary kind of on uh just Jess
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: in the situation there, and then Lauren, obviously is known
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: for going home. Next week's scenes from the next episode,
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: they look dramatic. My concern is that all those things
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: are not going to happen in next week's episode. It's
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: going to be spread out over kind of the entirety
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: of the season. But we do know they have the
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: Bachelor open, which looks fun. I wish they would have
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: done golf for me because that had been cool because
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: I love golf. But obviously Joey is a lot better
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: at tennis than I am at golf. And we do
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: see this. It looks like we see this Sydney Joey,
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: Medina Maria thing continue. Ashley, you are in the know.
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: I know you can't say a lot, but can you
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: tell us a yes or no if it continues?
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: The drama continues for a couple weeks, goodness gracious, But
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: I hope it gets like more substantial, you know what
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: I mean? Like we need to see more of the
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: crux of the situation.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: Is this.
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: That one conversation spurring that it's just weird?
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: They would not have aired that if it wasn't going
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: to lead to much bigger things, right.
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: I don't know, Ashley. I'm not an expert in this show.
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: I just break it down every week. All I know
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: is I'm very excited to see it. I wish she's
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: the show. I wish Sydney would stop and just like
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: focus on Joey. I did not want to see her
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: be the one to do this, and somehow she is
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: the one to do this. So Ashley final question of
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: the week, who is in your top three?
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: Daisy Rachel really did stand out in this episode of
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: me for chemistry, so maybe I would say Rachel, and
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: then I love I still really like kelsey A even
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: though we didn't see much of her this week, and
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: then I do feel like Jen still is very much
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: up there.
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: Okay, I will go Daisy Rachel. I can't say kelsey
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: A only because she is getting to edit. That makes
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: me think she's going to be around a long time,
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: because she obviously is somebody that Joey's into, yet we
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: don't see anything from her yet.
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: Sometimes they skip week two when it comes to People say.
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: I'm saying she gets that edit this week, which makes
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: me think she's still there for me, but I can't
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: say it. Yeah, Jen, I'm gonna put Eliza up there.
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: Liza seems to be catching Uh. When you said you mean.
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: Jess, no, I meant Jen, who would didn't make much
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: of a splash this week either.
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but Jess, you just said that you thought that
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: Jess was gonna like.
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: I don't think it's in there. No, I'm just intrigued
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: that I don't think she's up there either.
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna put Rachel, Daisy and Liza only because it
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: feels like when Joey. When Joey sees Liza, he just
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: loves it.
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: Who's Liza? Well, hope, wait a second, how am I
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: forgetting this lady?
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: I like that actually said I know everybody's name, and
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: and then I'm the one pulling out names that she
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: doesn't know.
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: Are you sure not thinking aout Lexi? Because a Lexi also.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Had quite a nice moment during the cocktail party when
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: she did the funny thing where she was like, I'm
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: a fine arts I have a master in fine arts,
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: and then she.
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: Lexi was the one I was thinking, I'm sorry about that.
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: All right?
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: Still early on, we're gonna get better at this. This
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: has been the almost day this podcast again. Great episode.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: Joey is fantastic. I think he is great for the show.
• 39:11

  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he is just a good dude. I
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: am excited to see where his journey continues with all
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: of the women loved. I think we have a great
