Speaker 1: went on the road. But then we also just went
1:35
Speaker 1: to places that you and I had a desire to explore.

2:53
Speaker 1: bit about my time on stage in Marrying Indiana is okay, yeah, yeah, yeah,
2:57
Speaker 1: you did a play. We're all really confused. You never
2:59
Speaker 1: told me about the And then all of a sudden,
3:00
Speaker 1: I see on your Instagram story that you're on stage,
3:03
Speaker 1: So what was that all about? A big deal? So
3:05
Speaker 1: before we bring on our guest today, I teased the
3:08
Speaker 1: end of last episode that I talked about this and
3:10
Speaker 1: uh my, my promises do come true. Um okay, So
3:16
Speaker 1: I'll have been waiting with here's the situation. My cousin,
3:20
Speaker 1: Olivia is. Uh. It's just an incredible person who has
3:25
Speaker 1: has grown up in in Swazie, Indiana. It's right outside
3:28
Speaker 1: of Converse, right outside of sweetzer Um, close to Marion.
3:32
Speaker 1: People out there listening, nobody knows any of that because
3:34
Speaker 1: it's a very small little area. Anyways, long story short,
3:37
Speaker 1: she has been in theater her whole life and I
3:39
Speaker 1: went to her her first play years ago and have
3:41
Speaker 1: not been able to go back because her first starring
3:44
Speaker 1: role was when I was on the Bachelor and I
3:46
Speaker 1: was gone filming. And so this is her senior year
3:51
Speaker 1: of high school. It's her last time being in this
3:53
Speaker 1: community theater. It's called c s A and it's a
3:55
Speaker 1: community theater that puts on incredible semi professional um uh
4:00
Speaker 1: plays and musicals and this year they're doing Greece, and
4:03
Speaker 1: Olivia reached out to me, and this is how the
4:05
Speaker 1: conversation went on. Shes Hey, Ben, would you want to
4:07
Speaker 1: come being in my play? Would I want to come
4:10
Speaker 1: be in my play? In your play is a trick question?
4:14
Speaker 1: Should I be? Why should I be in your play?
4:16
Speaker 1: She said, it would just mean a lot to me.
4:17
Speaker 1: I said, okay, you have two options here there. I
4:18
Speaker 1: come to your graduation, right, come to your play. Because
4:20
Speaker 1: it's a long flight and they're back to back weeks.
4:24
Speaker 1: She was much ready to be in my play. So
4:26
Speaker 1: I committed to going and being in her community theater.
4:28
Speaker 1: It's a three day play. I was Vince Fontaine, which,
4:31
Speaker 1: if you know anything about Greece, Vince Fontaine hooks up
4:34
Speaker 1: with a high schooler. Is he out of high school? Though?
4:38
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he's like the voice on the radio. Is
4:42
Speaker 1: he the guy that hosts the dance problem? He hosts
4:44
Speaker 1: the dance party. Yeah. So, not only am I asked
4:47
Speaker 1: to be in the play, I'm also has to be
4:48
Speaker 1: the creepy old guy, which is just fantastic since you
4:51
Speaker 1: know my I'm a little beat up already for turning thirty. Um.
4:56
Speaker 1: But anyways, I did a three night stand in Mary
4:59
Speaker 1: in Indiana, and I just want to give them a
5:00
Speaker 1: shout out. They were incredibly kind to me. Uh, Marian
5:02
Speaker 1: was incredibly kind. You know who showed up Jenna Cooper's mom.
5:07
Speaker 1: Jenna Cooper's mom, Oh my god, she from Indiana. She's
5:10
Speaker 1: from Indiana, and she came to say just like thank
5:12
Speaker 1: you for like supporting Jenna through like this crazy experience
5:16
Speaker 1: and super sweet. Anyways, the fans, the fans in Indiana
5:20
Speaker 1: and just the people in Indiana continue just to make
5:23
Speaker 1: life warmer. I hope we can go and do it,
5:25
Speaker 1: maybe a podcast in India Center so that actually you
5:28
Speaker 1: feel the love. I should go to your hometown. Oh yeah,
5:32
Speaker 1: you go to mind. That's a great idea. Let's do it.
5:34
Speaker 1: We already have three dates. Now we're filling up fast.
5:38
Speaker 1: We gotta start selling tickets or it's gonna get expensive. Okay.
5:41
Speaker 1: Uh So that was my time on the play. That's
5:43
Speaker 1: why you see a post on Instagram with me in
5:45
Speaker 1: a pink tutu um supporting breast cancer awareness. Moving on, now,
5:52
Speaker 1: we have a really interesting topic that we want to
5:55
Speaker 1: talk about before we room Tasha on. We're talking a
5:58
Speaker 1: little bit this morning over call Offee about why the
6:01
Speaker 1: Bachelor franchise continues to stay above the fray. Why why
6:05
Speaker 1: viewers conttinue to watch really from from all ages. I
6:09
Speaker 1: don't know when kids start watching, like fourteen and up,
6:12
Speaker 1: and I don't know when the appropriate ages. There's not
6:13
Speaker 1: really a reason to state it. Fourteen is a good
6:16
Speaker 1: age to start. That's when I first watched my first
6:18
Speaker 1: couple episodes. But The Bachelor internally, and I think most
6:23
Speaker 1: of these rallity shows call themselves like a Tiffany type
6:26
Speaker 1: reality show, like the that the peak reality shows. You know,
6:28
Speaker 1: your survivors, your amazing races, your Bachelor's, they're Tiffany type shows.
6:34
Speaker 1: So let me explain how we got on this topic.
6:37
Speaker 1: I have been watching the past week or so of
6:40
Speaker 1: Paradise Hotel, and I was just telling then how I
6:44
Speaker 1: feel like it's such, it's just trashy. It's a dating
6:48
Speaker 1: show and it's trashy. And I was like every other
6:50
Speaker 1: dating show I watched other than The Bachelor feels uncomfortable
6:55
Speaker 1: for me, Like if I were to put myself in
6:57
Speaker 1: their shoes, I would just feel like a fish out
6:59
Speaker 1: of water, just very yucky, ikey. I don't know, I
7:03
Speaker 1: can't describe I can't really describe it. I wish I could.
7:06
Speaker 1: I think like I've always been like a conservative data,
7:09
Speaker 1: you know, like I've never been like a party girl.
7:11
Speaker 1: So whenever I see like these, um what's the MTV
7:15
Speaker 1: show that um X on the Beach and stuff like that,
7:18
Speaker 1: other other cable reality shows as well, I'm like, what
7:24
Speaker 1: is there about The Bachelor that just feels more tasteful
7:28
Speaker 1: and classy and it feels like an environment that I'm
7:30
Speaker 1: comfortable watching and being in. What's the difference? And I
7:34
Speaker 1: can't exactly pinpoint it, but he goes there's actually a
7:36
Speaker 1: term internally for that. It's called a tiffany reality show. Yeah,
7:39
Speaker 1: they're staying about the friend. I wonder I'm gonna say
7:41
Speaker 1: something absolutely assinine and I think I'm gonna get a
7:44
Speaker 1: lot of laughs at because of it. But I wonder
7:46
Speaker 1: if there's a level to The Bachelor and to these
7:49
Speaker 1: other reality shows that like, even though it walks a
7:52
Speaker 1: very thin line, they do it well and it's a
7:54
Speaker 1: tad life giving meaning that they're so they are truly
7:58
Speaker 1: you're feeling like they're actually celebra writing love. You're feeling
8:01
Speaker 1: like there's actually something good that you're getting out of it,
8:03
Speaker 1: even though there's moments where like this is trashy, the
8:06
Speaker 1: concepts weird. Holy cow, this is odd. There's still something
8:10
Speaker 1: to why you're watching the Batchelor Batcher impared, I see
8:12
Speaker 1: you go, but there's a reason why, and that reason
8:15
Speaker 1: is is worth watching for. I think the undertone, while
8:20
Speaker 1: it can get dramatic, is still romantic. The undertone is
8:24
Speaker 1: always romantic. The other shows, I feel like the undertone
8:28
Speaker 1: is sex great point and as a result, we feel
8:32
Speaker 1: like we're intruding on somebody's personal space too much to
8:35
Speaker 1: where it makes us uncomfortable. And it starts too and
8:38
Speaker 1: I think we can feel this in life, right, We've
8:40
Speaker 1: seen this with and I'm not trying to compare these
8:43
Speaker 1: other shows to porn. That's a pretty drastic comparison, but
8:47
Speaker 1: we know that the studies show that when you watch
8:49
Speaker 1: porn that it messes with your mind, it messes with
8:52
Speaker 1: your heart, it messes with your your sex sexual function,
8:54
Speaker 1: and your sexual instincts. And so as a result, like
8:57
Speaker 1: I wonder if when we watch shows that are going
9:00
Speaker 1: against the grain too much or pushing sex too much
9:04
Speaker 1: on us, our minds switch to a place of darkness
9:07
Speaker 1: and kind of heaviness instead of being able to watch
9:09
Speaker 1: it with a lightness, like we watched The Bachelor. Now
9:12
Speaker 1: there's moments on The Bachelor. Trust me, I will never
9:14
Speaker 1: forget Hannah Gee and Colton's makeout scene last season. It
9:16
Speaker 1: made me feel all sorts of weird, but but it
9:21
Speaker 1: was a moment in a show on a pursuit in
9:23
Speaker 1: their journey, and as a result it made sense. Yeah,
9:26
Speaker 1: I was gonna continue by saying, on The Bachelor, we
9:29
Speaker 1: see we see a couple, maybe not a couple, but
9:33
Speaker 1: we see people date over the course of weeks, and
9:36
Speaker 1: we see them on romantic dates, which leads to a
9:40
Speaker 1: fantasy suite. And it's even called a fantasy suite, which
9:44
Speaker 1: sounds light and like enchanting. Okay, yeah, But then on
9:52
Speaker 1: Paradise Hotel, for example, the first day, people have to
9:57
Speaker 1: choose a roommate to share there, to share a hotel
10:03
Speaker 1: room with, and like that's just the difference a roommate
10:07
Speaker 1: to share a bed with versus yes, fantasy suite whatever,
10:13
Speaker 1: Like you're into it's so far okay, yeah, actually you
10:17
Speaker 1: know here And I don't think Jess, we'll get too
10:19
Speaker 1: upset with me, for she won't get upset off. I
10:21
Speaker 1: don't know if she's ever got upset with anyone in
10:23
Speaker 1: your life. Um, but like that would that's that would
10:26
Speaker 1: not be where we're in our relationship, and like that's
10:28
Speaker 1: a very personal thing for me to talk about. But
10:30
Speaker 1: like I know, for Jesse and I six months in,
10:33
Speaker 1: like that is that would be an uncomfortable position for
10:35
Speaker 1: us because that's not who we like, That's not who
10:38
Speaker 1: we are as a couple. That is not a line
10:40
Speaker 1: that we've crossed. We've chosen that as a couple right now.
10:43
Speaker 1: There's moments that we've had to because of weddings or
10:45
Speaker 1: you know, hotel like efficiency, but for the most part,
10:48
Speaker 1: we we've set up boundary there and as a result,
10:51
Speaker 1: like going on a show like that would be completely
10:53
Speaker 1: foreign to our relationship now. So you're just because of
10:56
Speaker 1: the world, right, she's a lot better of a human
10:59
Speaker 1: or has a lot more higher moral standard than I do.
11:02
Speaker 1: But the jest because of the world, would never be
11:04
Speaker 1: able to operate on that show because think about if
11:07
Speaker 1: she walked onto it, walked in not knowing maybe what
11:10
Speaker 1: the show's concept was, and then they say you got
11:12
Speaker 1: to sleep in a bed with the guy and she's
11:13
Speaker 1: like who. Immediately, yeah, I'd be like, oh, this is
11:15
Speaker 1: not the show for me, I have to leave. I'm sorry.
11:17
Speaker 1: That's but she would look crazy because of it, right, well,
11:20
Speaker 1: she would look like odd girl out. Yeah, which is
11:24
Speaker 1: which is unfortunate because I think there is a level,
11:28
Speaker 1: there's definitely a level to life where we need to
11:30
Speaker 1: help hold ourselves a higher standards. Everybody else does as well,
11:33
Speaker 1: And and somehow some went no, I'm not gonna say.
11:36
Speaker 1: And this ties right into our conversation a second with
11:38
Speaker 1: with Taysha, we'll talk about Kelly Rippaum. It tries in
11:42
Speaker 1: perfectly and it is what is the Bachelor that bad? Now?
11:46
Speaker 1: I get it, Let's laugh about it, let's make fun
11:49
Speaker 1: of it. But is there some good still to it?
11:52
Speaker 1: And as a result Ashley again, we'll go back to this,
11:55
Speaker 1: the proof is in the pudding. We say this with
11:57
Speaker 1: generous all the time. This is our motto because gets
12:00
Speaker 1: weird in this world is if one person's life's changed
12:02
Speaker 1: for the better because of something, then the pursuit was
12:04
Speaker 1: worth it. You're gonna get married because of this show?
12:08
Speaker 1: So is it that disgusting? No? The perfect example was
12:13
Speaker 1: just one or two lines that shows the difference between
12:17
Speaker 1: the bachelor in this Paradise hotel is that when you're
12:21
Speaker 1: in Paradise the morning after, when you're sitting around recapping
12:25
Speaker 1: the night before, a lot of people will be like,
12:28
Speaker 1: did you guys kiss? Did you kiss? On Paradise Hotel?
12:31
Speaker 1: They go, did you guys, do you guys have sex
12:34
Speaker 1: last night? I'm like, I'm like, wait a second. You
12:37
Speaker 1: guys are legitimately asking if they slept with this person
12:41
Speaker 1: the first night they ever met. It was so gross
12:44
Speaker 1: that weird. It was so out of my world and
12:48
Speaker 1: not and not crazy to have happened, right, Like, it's
12:51
Speaker 1: not foreign or or unfamiliar. There's no there's no judgment
12:54
Speaker 1: to people that do choose to do that. But typically
12:58
Speaker 1: isn't something you're talking about with a group of people
13:00
Speaker 1: around you and being asked about by everybody. That's a
13:03
Speaker 1: private thing. You know, it happened whatever, Like we we
13:06
Speaker 1: we move on and sake it like one night stands
13:08
Speaker 1: don't happen. I'm not shaming anybody, but you're saying it's
13:11
Speaker 1: odd to walk into a room and have everybody go, hey, Jeff,
13:15
Speaker 1: sex last night. I hope that question is never asked, never,
13:22
Speaker 1: even in honestly a marriage. I don't want my sister,
13:25
Speaker 1: I don't want to be Christmas morning. You walked down
13:27
Speaker 1: to breakfast at mom and Dad and your sister go, hey,
13:29
Speaker 1: do you guys have sex last night? Ja gives her
13:32
Speaker 1: a high five and says, hell, yeah, we did. Um
13:36
Speaker 1: Hey after the breakering, be on to talk a little
13:39
Speaker 1: bit more, a lot, a bit more about the Kelly
13:40
Speaker 1: Ripper situation and also what's going on in Tasia's life,
13:43
Speaker 1: what she thinks of Hannah and everything good and Bachelor Nation.
13:57
Speaker 1: As promised, we have Tashie on the podcast today. Tashia,
14:00
Speaker 1: welcome on the finished podcast. We just pulled Tasha actually,
14:04
Speaker 1: uh from upstairs. She was watching our our guest, Morgan
14:09
Speaker 1: Evans perform. Is that you Is that your first time
14:13
Speaker 1: seen him perform? My first time? And he was unreal?
14:17
Speaker 1: So now she wants Morgan Evans to be in paradise,
14:20
Speaker 1: but unfortunately he can we make that happen, mar We
14:23
Speaker 1: gotta clone him, a single clone. I mean, I'm sure
14:26
Speaker 1: we can work something out. Let's talk about this for
14:28
Speaker 1: a second, because he has his way about him. Right.
14:32
Speaker 1: We're Eastan and I are sitting there listening. Yeah, you
14:34
Speaker 1: were charmed. I was charmed. I was charmed. East and
14:38
Speaker 1: I both were. We had our hands on our chins
14:40
Speaker 1: and we were gazing lonely at each other and at
14:44
Speaker 1: the ceiling and around and at a Morgan Evans. What
14:48
Speaker 1: is it about it? He has like confidence in a
14:51
Speaker 1: little swag to him. I don't know, and he doesn't
14:54
Speaker 1: try too hard. I feel like, yeah, guys who like
14:57
Speaker 1: are naturally good looking, plus they have the swag and
14:59
Speaker 1: they think country music. That's the perfect try factor basically,
15:02
Speaker 1: Like that's why Sam Hunt is as famous as he is.
15:05
Speaker 1: How does it feel in life when all of a
15:07
Speaker 1: sudden you find you have a crush, like you just
15:11
Speaker 1: had a crush as of ten minutes ago, Like, do
15:13
Speaker 1: you feel a little weird right now? I mean a
15:15
Speaker 1: little bit. I'm kind of liked butterflies in my stomach.
15:19
Speaker 1: Tasia and I were talking about how it's well Jared
15:22
Speaker 1: and I had this argument all the time. I'm not
15:24
Speaker 1: sure if we brought this up on the podcast, but
15:25
Speaker 1: since I'm such a natural fangirl, I like will be like,
15:28
Speaker 1: oh my god, he's so cute or he's hot, you know,
15:30
Speaker 1: like whatever, and I have to like almost do it
15:33
Speaker 1: on this podcast, and we talk about the guys from
15:35
Speaker 1: the cast, and I have to be like a little
15:37
Speaker 1: giddy over everyone. Right, But Jared is thinks of such
15:40
Speaker 1: a double standard that girls can get away with being like,
15:44
Speaker 1: oh my god, he's so hot, he's so cute, and
15:45
Speaker 1: like talk to their girlfriends up there like, you know, whatever,
15:48
Speaker 1: no big deal. But if Jared were up there talking
15:50
Speaker 1: to guy friends being like, oh, she's still hots, Like,
15:55
Speaker 1: it's just not a loud he just doesn't like me say,
15:57
Speaker 1: talking like saying complimentary things towards under other guys. But
16:01
Speaker 1: it is, overall, in the big picture, something that girls
16:04
Speaker 1: get to get away with that guys don't like. Even
16:06
Speaker 1: my mom she'll be like, oh my god, he's so cute.
16:08
Speaker 1: If ever said oh my god, she's so beautiful, my
16:12
Speaker 1: mom would look at him and years later, Right, that's
16:18
Speaker 1: a good point. How do you feel if Jess we're
16:21
Speaker 1: to talk about a guy's appearance, I mean, I don't
16:24
Speaker 1: think i'd mind. You don't think anything of it, right, No,
16:27
Speaker 1: I mean she was like, oh he's so Yeah, she
16:29
Speaker 1: does it all the time, like even with her like
16:30
Speaker 1: friends boyfriendship. Yeah, he's he's a really good looking guy.
16:33
Speaker 1: We can get away with good looking, Like Jared will
16:35
Speaker 1: be like, she's just a good looking girl. Okay, well
16:37
Speaker 1: she would say I think she would say it and yeah,
16:39
Speaker 1: I wouldn't think twice, but you I'm sure she wouldn't
16:42
Speaker 1: be down. Yeah, I would never say that out loud,
16:44
Speaker 1: like she's a pretty girl, but I would never say, hey, Jess,
16:46
Speaker 1: isn't she really pretty? Yeah? Yeah? Or like if we
16:49
Speaker 1: sat and up if we sat upstairs and watched Morgan
16:52
Speaker 1: Evans perform for brunch and UH say it was reverse
16:56
Speaker 1: like it was a woman who was up there doing
16:58
Speaker 1: it and we came down and asked if somebody was here,
17:00
Speaker 1: and we're like, I was like, oh wow, that was
17:02
Speaker 1: good for me. I don't think that he was great though.
17:11
Speaker 1: So are two guests uh from country music on this
17:14
Speaker 1: podcast today, Scott McCreary and Morgan Evans super talented, super charming,
17:21
Speaker 1: really great and uh and Tasha, you have all those
17:25
Speaker 1: qualities as well. We want to start this uh not
17:29
Speaker 1: talking about you, which is unfortunate because it's great to
17:31
Speaker 1: talk about you, but we'll get to that. We're finishing
17:34
Speaker 1: up a conversation about the Bachelor and why it seems
17:38
Speaker 1: to be what we're calling the Tiffany of reality shows
17:42
Speaker 1: where it kind of goes above the fray yet walks
17:44
Speaker 1: a line where people are criticizing it, and people go, oh,
17:47
Speaker 1: this is uncomfortable, this is weird. This concept seems maybe gross,
17:52
Speaker 1: but yet it doesn't feel dirty to watch all the time.
17:56
Speaker 1: There's ultimately a larger love story being displayed now sently
18:00
Speaker 1: in the news. If you've been watching Kelly rippap Um,
18:03
Speaker 1: the host of The Kelly Ryan Show, trashed the dating
18:06
Speaker 1: franchise The Bachelor bachelorrette Um, even though she is part
18:10
Speaker 1: of ABC Network. Um. Instead of reading the quote, let's
18:14
Speaker 1: listen to the clip. I thought that one got married
18:17
Speaker 1: to the guy that was here, the guy the guy
18:19
Speaker 1: Hulton was here last, that was the best bachelor. But
18:21
Speaker 1: they didn't get married. That's a different woman, an entirely
18:27
Speaker 1: different You know how I feel about the show. It
18:31
Speaker 1: disgusts me. And I thought that I was disgusted because
18:38
Speaker 1: I couldn't stand the idea of exceptional women fighting over
18:43
Speaker 1: one ordinary fella. In my opinion, you know how I feel, Ladies,
18:48
Speaker 1: we are too special to be arguing over a guy.
18:53
Speaker 1: You know. The words it disgust me, obviously were said
18:56
Speaker 1: from Kelly, and it's relating to this sason of the
19:00
Speaker 1: Bachelorette with Hannah b Tai. I want to know your
19:05
Speaker 1: point on this, what do you think about the show
19:09
Speaker 1: being disgusting? So so my first point to this, and
19:14
Speaker 1: I'm I'm obviously I'm going to take the position of
19:17
Speaker 1: being defensive of the franchise at some level. There's obviously
19:20
Speaker 1: criticisms that you can use and say. One is I
19:25
Speaker 1: don't love that Kelly is acting unfamiliar with the franchise.
19:31
Speaker 1: She's done her show and had every bachelor and Bachelorette
19:34
Speaker 1: on for the last how many years? She knows how
19:38
Speaker 1: this show works. Like, I hope she knows how the
19:41
Speaker 1: show works. It doesn't sound like she's really invested any
19:44
Speaker 1: time in getting to know the show. So she shocked
19:48
Speaker 1: that there's a new bachelorette that's coming from the franchise,
19:53
Speaker 1: just amazing, amazed that there's a new girl every year. Well, yeah,
19:56
Speaker 1: there's a new girl every year, Like, oh my gosh,
19:59
Speaker 1: there's a new one. Another one, Yes, Mrs Rippa, there
20:05
Speaker 1: is a new one every year. That's the one thing
20:08
Speaker 1: that is surprised to me. The next is her the
20:10
Speaker 1: words she used that it's disgusting. Why is it disgusting?
20:15
Speaker 1: That word is very harsh, I think, and rude. Yeah,
20:20
Speaker 1: she's saying it's disgusting because there are so many people
20:22
Speaker 1: going after one person, they're fighting over them. Um yeah,
20:25
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's the appropriate term. I find
20:30
Speaker 1: it offensive because obviously there's love stories that come from it,
20:35
Speaker 1: mine included. So I hope that the way that my
20:38
Speaker 1: love story unfolded, even though it didn't happen in like
20:41
Speaker 1: the traditional bachelor bachelorette stting, it happened in paradise is
20:45
Speaker 1: I don't want it to be ever thought of as gross.
20:48
Speaker 1: That never would have ever come to my head, right, Um, well,
20:52
Speaker 1: I think the biggest issue here is that it's kind
20:54
Speaker 1: of reverse sexism because here she is saying that all
20:58
Speaker 1: women on this show during the Bachelor's season are extraordinary.
21:01
Speaker 1: She doesn't really know them, but they're all exceptional, right,
21:04
Speaker 1: and then the guy that they're going after is ordinary.
21:07
Speaker 1: Why why is she assuming that he's ordinary? He's not ordinary?
21:10
Speaker 1: And I'm taking offense from all of my friends who
21:12
Speaker 1: have been the Bachelor that they're not ordinary man, and
21:15
Speaker 1: I would never refer to them as that they are
21:18
Speaker 1: truly extraordinary. They are not saying anything less than the
21:21
Speaker 1: women because all these bachelorettes are fantastic. They're like so strong,
21:26
Speaker 1: they're they they had the best personalities, they're beautiful, they're smart,
21:30
Speaker 1: Like they're wonderful women. But that doesn't mean that the men,
21:34
Speaker 1: a good handful of them aren't spectacular. My deserted. Yeah,
21:41
Speaker 1: and then like she's also basically not even acknowledging the
21:45
Speaker 1: fact that it does reverse the situation reverses. And then
21:48
Speaker 1: there's twenty five guys after one woman. So is she's
21:51
Speaker 1: saying that all twenty five of those men are ordinary
21:55
Speaker 1: and they're going after one extraordinary woman just because based
21:58
Speaker 1: on sex doesn't mean you are. You're not extraordinary, right,
22:02
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think she put her foot in
22:04
Speaker 1: her mouth and that on that one. Honestly, equality is
22:09
Speaker 1: obviously an important topic today in all matters equality. The
22:14
Speaker 1: pursuit of equality doesn't mean that the other side has
22:17
Speaker 1: to get out of balance, right, equality is equal, both
22:20
Speaker 1: sides are equal, or people are humans. I think this.
22:23
Speaker 1: I think she's walking a line that she does. She
22:25
Speaker 1: doesn't exactly know what she's walking into, because, as you said,
22:28
Speaker 1: I would hate to be categorized and stereotyped as being ordinary.
22:35
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm on the belief that there's no
22:36
Speaker 1: single human that's just ordinary, that every human has a story,
22:41
Speaker 1: and that when you know somebody's story, it's complex and
22:44
Speaker 1: you it's you know, as we say in a few
22:47
Speaker 1: weeks are a theme with a Man of Stanton is
22:49
Speaker 1: once you know somebody's story, it's hard to hate them.
22:53
Speaker 1: There is not single, one, single person that's been birthed
22:56
Speaker 1: and lives on this earth and that has survived and
22:58
Speaker 1: thrived on this earth that is an ordinary person. So
23:01
Speaker 1: at no level is it fair to categorize me, you,
23:04
Speaker 1: anybody else into that, and anybody off of the show
23:07
Speaker 1: into that. Now you can criticize the show, I get it. Yeah, fine,
23:10
Speaker 1: Like I don't like the structure of people going after
23:14
Speaker 1: one person. That's a little bit weird to me and
23:16
Speaker 1: it makes me feel awkward. That's one thing. But you
23:18
Speaker 1: can't just group these people together and call an extraordinary
23:21
Speaker 1: ordinary as if she knows everyone the Yeah you can,
23:26
Speaker 1: you can. You can criticize the show. The show is
23:28
Speaker 1: fair game. Do not criticize souls, Do not criticize humans.
23:32
Speaker 1: Um because what you're you know, as a as a
23:37
Speaker 1: as a woman, what she's trying to protect she's honestly
23:41
Speaker 1: harming by the words that she's using, and that that's
23:44
Speaker 1: just clear that that there is nothing about what she
23:47
Speaker 1: said that's healthy, that's life giving, life breathing, that's pursuing,
23:50
Speaker 1: pushing us in a better position. What does she want
23:52
Speaker 1: the show to be canceled? It's not going to get canceled.
23:54
Speaker 1: So what is she doing in return? Does she want
23:56
Speaker 1: to hurt and affect every person that's on this show? Well,
24:00
Speaker 1: good work, Kelly, you have a voice and you've done that.
24:03
Speaker 1: And as a result, there's people standing up in favor
24:06
Speaker 1: of the show and and even non fans of the
24:08
Speaker 1: show saying, let's watch yourself here. These are real people
24:11
Speaker 1: dealing with real situations and we've signed up for it. Right.
24:15
Speaker 1: Let's celebrate women and support girl power without having to
24:20
Speaker 1: bash bash guys, bash guys while doing it. Weird thing,
24:24
Speaker 1: weirdest part of it. You're on the same network, like
24:26
Speaker 1: ultimately on the same team. What are you doing anyways? Uh,
24:30
Speaker 1: we had to talk about it. It's been a huge
24:32
Speaker 1: topic all week. Chris Harrison spoke up about it, and uh,
24:35
Speaker 1: and obviously it's all over the airways. US Weekly has
24:37
Speaker 1: covered it, people have covered it it will be a
24:39
Speaker 1: topic for a little bit. I think it's gonna fade soon.
24:41
Speaker 1: The point of all this is there's no one uh there,
24:44
Speaker 1: I think to some all of this up noverybody on
24:47
Speaker 1: the table saying is there is not one ordinary person
24:50
Speaker 1: that has ever done the show. And I believe there's
24:51
Speaker 1: not and we believe there's not one ordinary person that
24:54
Speaker 1: has ever walked this earth. That everybody is extraordinary, or
24:58
Speaker 1: at least we should start thinking that way. So with that,
25:01
Speaker 1: the extraordinary Tasia is on the podcast. Let's talk about you,
25:06
Speaker 1: yes years old from California, uh phlebotomist um or at
25:13
Speaker 1: least as we talked about in the last podcast, we
25:15
Speaker 1: think so um and uh, you're on Colton Underwood season
25:22
Speaker 1: of The Bachelor. Okay, Ashley, I think I want to
25:26
Speaker 1: start here. Let's go back to Colton season the Bachelor. Okay,
25:30
Speaker 1: after all of it's done, and said, what are your
25:31
Speaker 1: thoughts on Colton? Um? I really like Colton. I think
25:37
Speaker 1: he was very sweet to me. He has a big
25:40
Speaker 1: future ahead of him. I do think that he has
25:42
Speaker 1: a little bit of growing up to do. Um, but
25:47
Speaker 1: I think the world of him. I'm always interested in
25:49
Speaker 1: this and I think we've ever asked a guest. You know,
25:51
Speaker 1: you had a relationship with Colton, uh during your time
25:54
Speaker 1: on this season. It was growing and it was exciting
25:57
Speaker 1: and you're getting to know each other and you didn't
25:58
Speaker 1: know where it was going to end and all of
25:59
Speaker 1: this things. And now we're months removed. He is obviously
26:02
Speaker 1: with Cassie and they're pursuing their relationship as healthy as
26:06
Speaker 1: what we hope they are. UM, but now you know
26:10
Speaker 1: he let's look at him as an X right, even
26:12
Speaker 1: though it might be hard to do. Does it feel
26:17
Speaker 1: like another world? Ago? Like, do you feel connected to him? Still?
26:20
Speaker 1: Does he? Does? He? Does he have an emotional place
26:22
Speaker 1: in your life? You know, I thought I had moved
26:25
Speaker 1: on from it, um, but I'm not gonna lie. I
26:27
Speaker 1: did see him at stage coach and kind of my
26:30
Speaker 1: stomach kind of you know, my heart dropped a little bit.
26:33
Speaker 1: Not because I missed him or I still am in
26:35
Speaker 1: love with him, but it's just he did have a
26:39
Speaker 1: little I totally get that. It was so weird for
26:42
Speaker 1: my women. Tell all, I was like, you know, I
26:45
Speaker 1: got on the plane the day after I was done.
26:47
Speaker 1: I was totally different situation from you. I was like
26:50
Speaker 1: seven places you were top three. But I saw crist
26:54
Speaker 1: Souls come out on stage four months after, you know,
26:57
Speaker 1: I left the show, and like it out like I
27:00
Speaker 1: was seeing a crush walking down the hallway towards me.
27:03
Speaker 1: It was so weird. Well, I feel like it's you're
27:05
Speaker 1: in such an intimate setting being on The Bachelor. I
27:08
Speaker 1: feel like you're thinking about this person all day every day,
27:11
Speaker 1: and you're really trying to see them be in your future.
27:15
Speaker 1: Um it's just kind of weird that the second you
27:17
Speaker 1: get eliminated, it's all cut off, like it's gone. You
27:20
Speaker 1: don't really talk to them, you don't have their number
27:22
Speaker 1: to text them or whatever. But it's also probably healthier
27:25
Speaker 1: that way, much healthy you get over it faster. But
27:28
Speaker 1: at the same time, I don't know if you necessarily
27:31
Speaker 1: have closure what I mean, no, no closure. So even
27:36
Speaker 1: though I did see him at after the final Rose,
27:39
Speaker 1: you know, it's we're still on TV. It's not like
27:41
Speaker 1: I'm sitting at a booth with him at a restaurant
27:44
Speaker 1: and we're just like, Okay, it was good, thank you,
27:46
Speaker 1: you know. Um so yeah, my heart kind of dropped
27:49
Speaker 1: a little bit. What was his reaction to seeing you? Um, well,
27:53
Speaker 1: I was at a couple of girls, and I think
27:56
Speaker 1: he said hi, yeah, well you'd expect like he handled
28:00
Speaker 1: it fine. I mean, to be quite honest with you,
28:03
Speaker 1: it would have been nice. It would if he would
28:05
Speaker 1: have came up and said like, Hi, how are you doing?
28:07
Speaker 1: Not that he needs to be interested in me or
28:09
Speaker 1: just but we did have, you know, just like and
28:13
Speaker 1: said yeah. He kind of just through his little peace
28:15
Speaker 1: sign up. He's like hey, and I was just like, Hi,
28:19
Speaker 1: let's positively let's talk about this for a sake. I
28:22
Speaker 1: haven't quite undergot this yet. Is the peace sign like
28:25
Speaker 1: a thing or is it just his reaction? Because like
28:27
Speaker 1: I do, I do this thing with my hands. My
28:30
Speaker 1: buddy Dylan, my best friend from from high school, he
28:32
Speaker 1: does this weird thing with his hands when he sees people,
28:35
Speaker 1: and he like moves his fingers in kind of like
28:37
Speaker 1: a creepy wave way, and he doesn't mean to. It's
28:39
Speaker 1: just like his reaction, right. So is Colton's reaction like
28:43
Speaker 1: a peace sign? Like? Is that like what? He's just
28:46
Speaker 1: like his thing? I think it's his acknowledgement. It's like
28:48
Speaker 1: I'm acknowledging you hey, peace sign? Huh, Because it's in
28:52
Speaker 1: pictures a lot doesn't he's saying peace. She's not saying peace.
28:56
Speaker 1: That's like his version of going like hi is a
28:59
Speaker 1: peace sign. Oh, I didn't know. I see it in in pictures.
29:03
Speaker 1: I was a little confused because, like, you don't see
29:04
Speaker 1: a lot of people throwing up the peace signing with you.
29:08
Speaker 1: I always I used to throw up the piece signing
29:11
Speaker 1: quite a bit, and in pictures with like the duck lips,
29:15
Speaker 1: that was a big thing back there. Yeah, so he
29:16
Speaker 1: threw up the piece sign at you, Um, which is fine.
29:20
Speaker 1: I wasn't expecting this man that you were falling in
29:23
Speaker 1: love with him, just a matter of bunths ago a
29:25
Speaker 1: little awkward. I just wish he was with Fassi. Yeah,
29:29
Speaker 1: and she said hi, and it wasn't like weird. And
29:32
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know how. Yeah, it's a
29:34
Speaker 1: good conversation because I don't know how you handle those moments, right,
29:37
Speaker 1: I mean, if right now I ran into Lauren with
29:41
Speaker 1: Jessica on my arm, I know that's not the same.
29:43
Speaker 1: That's like you running into a girl from your season,
29:46
Speaker 1: hence Amanda, and you would be way cooler with Amanda,
29:49
Speaker 1: and you would be cooler with Jojo or anyone. Yeah,
29:52
Speaker 1: I guess so, yeah, because like it is something you've
29:55
Speaker 1: shared together, it's something that you know is a little weird.
29:58
Speaker 1: I wonder if in his head he just did didn't
30:00
Speaker 1: know how or what to do. And I think that's
30:03
Speaker 1: that's what I mean by I think growing up, you
30:05
Speaker 1: know what I mean? He honestly could have just came
30:07
Speaker 1: up and been like, Hi, how are you doing. I
30:08
Speaker 1: hope you guys are having fun, Like I'm not expecting
30:10
Speaker 1: like a huge conversation. But that would have just cut
30:12
Speaker 1: the tension, slash the awkwardness, and I'm like, Okay, we're
30:15
Speaker 1: cool as opposed to does he hate me? What's going
30:19
Speaker 1: on is awkward? You know? Seeing nexs is weird. Next
30:24
Speaker 1: shows is odd. I can't imagine that Cassie is putting
30:28
Speaker 1: pressure on him not to talk to the other women. Yeah,
30:30
Speaker 1: I mean she ends with Calin all the time. I think.
30:32
Speaker 1: I mean I humped her. I said hello to this
30:35
Speaker 1: is uh in batination. You're going to see these people.
30:37
Speaker 1: This happens all the time. It's always been an interesting
30:39
Speaker 1: talk to me, is when you see the bachelor that
30:41
Speaker 1: is dumped you, what is your reaction? I asked, Amanda, Um,
30:44
Speaker 1: she's here in Napple with this, Amanda Stanton Is I've
30:46
Speaker 1: asked her, you know, what was it like your thoughts
30:49
Speaker 1: on me after the show? Like did you hate me?
30:53
Speaker 1: Were you angry at me? Um? You know I ended
30:55
Speaker 1: up proposing to your best friend, Like were you happy
30:59
Speaker 1: for us? Are those things? I think for a while
31:02
Speaker 1: it is a little confusing because you have a relationship,
31:05
Speaker 1: you care about this person, and then all of a sudden,
31:07
Speaker 1: at a rose ceremony, which this is one part of
31:09
Speaker 1: this show that is completely odd, you say goodbye and
31:13
Speaker 1: you're done, or in the caseta you're done. Yeah, it's
31:21
Speaker 1: it's it's a weird deal. I'm sure Colton will navigate
31:24
Speaker 1: this thing the best he can. It sounds like he tried,
31:27
Speaker 1: but I get it there. The thing that sucks here
31:30
Speaker 1: is there's no closure and a piece sign at a
31:33
Speaker 1: concert isn't going to help that, not really, but I
31:36
Speaker 1: don't know what would. But it's cool. It's cool. I
31:38
Speaker 1: know we sound like broken records because every week, whenever
31:41
Speaker 1: we have a guess that is quite possibly going to
31:44
Speaker 1: be on Bachelor in Paradise, we ask, so, who do
31:47
Speaker 1: you want to see there? Yeah, but it's a legitimate question,
31:52
Speaker 1: and we know the producers are asking you the same thing.
31:56
Speaker 1: But isn't it nice that they ask? I mean, it's
31:58
Speaker 1: that they want to be a little to help abound,
32:00
Speaker 1: and you know, they just they ultimately want us to
32:03
Speaker 1: fall in love and help us out in any way
32:05
Speaker 1: they possibly can, which I love, But also I felt
32:08
Speaker 1: it was ridiculous my first time around. To be honest,
32:11
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm not gonna like anyone. I was like,
32:13
Speaker 1: if you want me to stick around, you're I don't
32:16
Speaker 1: know what you're gonna donna come up with some weird
32:18
Speaker 1: method to keep me around because I don't like anyone, like,
32:20
Speaker 1: I don't like people like I don't like guys like
32:22
Speaker 1: I just I was like, I like a guy once
32:24
Speaker 1: every two years, and I'm sure you don't have that
32:26
Speaker 1: guy in your catalog. Well look a look at the irony.
32:32
Speaker 1: It could not be more ridiculous. But Tasia, try to
32:37
Speaker 1: take it as seriously as possible. Right now, who do
32:40
Speaker 1: you actually think that you could be interested in? Well,
32:47
Speaker 1: there are some attractive men on Hannaby season. Let's talk
32:50
Speaker 1: about that real quick. So a couple names come to mind.
32:53
Speaker 1: See if I name any of them? Right, Peter the pilot,
32:58
Speaker 1: who's like you been you see the resemblance a little bit. Yeah,
33:02
Speaker 1: he seems like a better dude to me. He can
33:03
Speaker 1: fly a plane. I can, I mean I can mow
33:05
Speaker 1: my lawn. Um. Con the Connors, Jed and John Paul
33:10
Speaker 1: Jones are some of the names that pop off. Also,
33:13
Speaker 1: fans are calling Matt Donald who was really last week
33:16
Speaker 1: the new season's grocery storts Joe. I don't think I
33:18
Speaker 1: agree with that, but I do think he'll be in
33:20
Speaker 1: in paradise. Are any of those names of the guys? Yeah,
33:24
Speaker 1: you know who else people are talking about who's not
33:26
Speaker 1: on our list here that I think last week we
33:29
Speaker 1: raved over over and over again. He was super nice.
33:31
Speaker 1: Dude is Mike? Yeah, Demi and Katie had really good
33:35
Speaker 1: things to say about him, and they are watching him
33:37
Speaker 1: in first person. So yeah, I think some of those
33:42
Speaker 1: guys are pretty cute. Actually, But which one? Connor s right? Um,
33:49
Speaker 1: let's talk about jawlines. I think we can compare them
33:51
Speaker 1: by jawlines. Cornor s was like the I feel like
33:58
Speaker 1: like that all American guy. He was twenty four. They
34:01
Speaker 1: kissed on the couch inside the dining room. I know, Yeah,
34:05
Speaker 1: it's got to be him. I think you're talking about. Yeah,
34:10
Speaker 1: he's able, very adorable. He just has like a cute
34:12
Speaker 1: baby face that I just I don't know if you
34:15
Speaker 1: can see country. If he can, then it's a game
34:18
Speaker 1: over see. I love how like not seriously you're taking
34:22
Speaker 1: this and I can't wait to watch the Week one
34:24
Speaker 1: of Paradise and you'd be like, I really like him,
34:30
Speaker 1: stilly who else? Um? I also think Tyler is pretty cute. Yeah,
34:35
Speaker 1: everybody thinks Tyler is cute. Yeah, I mean, how could
34:37
Speaker 1: you not though, Yeah, he's a good looking I don't
34:40
Speaker 1: like the fact that you don't know. I mean, my
34:42
Speaker 1: dad always says, I'm like, Dad, isn't that guy attractive?
34:45
Speaker 1: He's like, I don't know. I think, what do you
34:46
Speaker 1: mean you don't know? I'm pretty I think I can
34:49
Speaker 1: tell when the guy's attractive, Like, but sometimes it's a
34:51
Speaker 1: little shocking, like that guy doesn't look like he wouldn't
34:53
Speaker 1: stand out to me, like looking to me, then that
34:57
Speaker 1: guy like I was upstairs at Morgan Evans with googly eye,
35:00
Speaker 1: It's like, I think that dude's good looking. Yeah. Yeah,
35:04
Speaker 1: By the way, I just wanna let anybody know that's listening.
35:06
Speaker 1: If you hear some background noise, people walking through, music,
35:08
Speaker 1: playing drums beating. We are live in Napa Valley listening
35:13
Speaker 1: to Morgan Evans and Scotty McCoury at a at a
35:17
Speaker 1: brunch concert. It's beautiful. There's brunch at the Blue Note
35:21
Speaker 1: downtown Napa. It's amazing, just such a beautiful place. Wine
35:24
Speaker 1: is flowing, drinks are coming in and Morgan Evans and
35:28
Speaker 1: Scottie and then also gone West with Colby Calais. Amazing.
35:32
Speaker 1: You share your story, your day dreams. Yeah, we'll get
35:36
Speaker 1: back to Tasia in a second, but let's talk about me.
35:40
Speaker 1: So I was weird. I walked upstairs. Uh right, now
35:43
Speaker 1: we're downstairs, and so it's a little quieter for us.
35:46
Speaker 1: But again you can hear some background nowise but he
35:48
Speaker 1: as we walked upstairs to grab some food and I
35:50
Speaker 1: walk into this this woman just started belting from the stage. Yeah,
35:54
Speaker 1: And I'm like, wow, her voice is crazy. And a
35:56
Speaker 1: guy next to me and the brunch line goes, yeah,
35:58
Speaker 1: that's coolby Calais, and I kind of did your thing.
36:00
Speaker 1: My heart skipped a little bit because I have for
36:03
Speaker 1: a long time dreamed of what like had a fantasy
36:08
Speaker 1: and like we're really one of My only fantasies I've
36:11
Speaker 1: ever had is waking up with a wife that could
36:15
Speaker 1: sing to me the way Colby cal A sings, Oh
36:17
Speaker 1: my God. So then I asked, well, does Jess have
36:20
Speaker 1: Colby's voice, or saying I don't know if she does,
36:25
Speaker 1: it's maybe a day Jannet won't come true for you.
36:27
Speaker 1: It's okay. Colby is beautiful. Her voice was magical, and
36:31
Speaker 1: I never thought I would see her in person. So
36:33
Speaker 1: when I was shocked, it was like, there's like a
36:35
Speaker 1: you know when you yeah, you know, when you fantasize
36:39
Speaker 1: about somebody and you make it up in your head
36:41
Speaker 1: and you have this crush as a kid, or as
36:43
Speaker 1: a high school or as a car or as a
36:46
Speaker 1: thirty year old, and all of a sudden, like you
36:49
Speaker 1: see that person in your like in person for the
36:51
Speaker 1: first time, and you're like, I feel like, creepily, we've
36:54
Speaker 1: had a relationship for like ten years. That's kind of
36:57
Speaker 1: how I felled upstairs. It's like, why are you up
36:59
Speaker 1: there with an other man? Her husband? That hurts me
37:03
Speaker 1: and I'm in the audience and I've got to watch.
37:06
Speaker 1: It's not cool. Uh So yeah, anyways, gone West, Scotty
37:09
Speaker 1: McCary and Morgan Evan's playing upstairs and Tastia sitting down
37:13
Speaker 1: with us on the podcast. Let's get back to you.
37:15
Speaker 1: So we've talked about Hannah Bees, guys and who you're into.
37:18
Speaker 1: What about from past seasons? Past seasons? Um, let me think,
37:24
Speaker 1: Let me think. I think Blake's cute. He's gonna have
37:28
Speaker 1: a hard time on Paradise. That dude is gonna be
37:32
Speaker 1: I think like the Tastia's um of the world. Okay,
37:37
Speaker 1: what's gonna Let me finish this real quick. I think
37:40
Speaker 1: Blake is gonna have a hard time because I think
37:41
Speaker 1: he is a really good dude. He's a good friend
37:43
Speaker 1: of mine, he's really good looking, and I really like Blake. Um,
37:47
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna have the dean stuff where some
37:50
Speaker 1: some women are gonna be after him because he is
37:51
Speaker 1: a good guy and he's worth the pursuit. And he's
37:53
Speaker 1: going to be into some women as well, and they're
37:55
Speaker 1: gonna be pursuing each other back and forth, and I
37:57
Speaker 1: think he's gonna get himself into trouble. My theory. So
38:01
Speaker 1: going in to Paradise for the girls, they will only see, well,
38:06
Speaker 1: this year is a little bit different because the Bachelorette
38:08
Speaker 1: started so early, but normally the girls only get to
38:11
Speaker 1: see about two episodes of the Bachelorette season before going
38:15
Speaker 1: to tape Paradise, so they don't really know the guys
38:18
Speaker 1: that well. You know, they've only seen maybe three to
38:21
Speaker 1: five minutes of each of them on screen at that point.
38:24
Speaker 1: And normally it's the guys from past seasons who they've
38:28
Speaker 1: looked up to as like almost celebrities, though, the guys
38:31
Speaker 1: that they want to see going in because they're like,
38:33
Speaker 1: oh my god, he's like such a big deal. He's
38:35
Speaker 1: so cute, Like I used to watch him as a fan.
38:38
Speaker 1: So it's like getting your celebrity crush in Paradise versus
38:41
Speaker 1: these guys that you know, they're new and you don't
38:43
Speaker 1: know anything about. So that's why I feel like Blake
38:46
Speaker 1: is going to be a big ticket. What do you
38:49
Speaker 1: think about that? I do? I really? I mean, I
38:53
Speaker 1: think I think all the way around, Blake is going
38:56
Speaker 1: to be a big deal. I also think you're I
38:58
Speaker 1: don't know who else we've talked up being there. I mean, Chase,
39:01
Speaker 1: I could see being in Paradise this year. I think, yeah,
39:05
Speaker 1: he's he's gonna have wouldn't he do it, Like, why
39:07
Speaker 1: he shouldn't he done it yet? I don't know. I
39:09
Speaker 1: mean he's done next on the Beach. You should definitely
39:11
Speaker 1: do Paradise, M Dean. I think we'll probably be there.
39:18
Speaker 1: We've talked about it before with him, we joked about it.
39:19
Speaker 1: He hasn't confirmed, but you know, Blake, like, those guys
39:22
Speaker 1: are really good dudes who I like, and they're going
39:25
Speaker 1: to be big tickets. And then you have a group
39:27
Speaker 1: of women who are going to be there, who I
39:29
Speaker 1: think are incredible. So we've gotten to know most of
39:32
Speaker 1: you through this podcast, and I think this year's Paradise
39:35
Speaker 1: will have an incredible cast. Yeah, I'm super excited. Incredible cast,
39:39
Speaker 1: So Blake from past anybody else? It's always fun. I
39:42
Speaker 1: like this game. You know, were you a fan of
39:45
Speaker 1: the show beforehand? I only watched the season with you,
39:51
Speaker 1: like I watched here and there the others. But yeah, OK,
39:56
Speaker 1: so no names really stick out to me anyone else.
40:00
Speaker 1: Here's my next question for you, because here's one thing
40:02
Speaker 1: that I hope doesn't happen, but it's great for us
40:05
Speaker 1: when it does. Is we like you. You're a friend
40:09
Speaker 1: of ours. You've been on the podcast now a couple
40:10
Speaker 1: of times we've traveled to NAPA together. We've spent some
40:13
Speaker 1: good time hanging out. Um, no judgment on from this podcast.
40:18
Speaker 1: Trust me, we've seen it all, we've done it all,
40:20
Speaker 1: we've been in and all. You should ask Ashulely. She's
40:22
Speaker 1: done some crazy things and you should ask me. I've
40:24
Speaker 1: done some wild things as well, some of them. Um,
40:30
Speaker 1: that's some weird stuff happened. But people come on the
40:34
Speaker 1: podcast before Paradise end up going on Paradise and we
40:37
Speaker 1: see an emotional breakdown. We see we watch our friends
40:42
Speaker 1: on television just lose it or flourish into love. If
40:47
Speaker 1: you were to predict right now how Paradise plays out
40:51
Speaker 1: for you, what would you predict happens? Um, I might
40:57
Speaker 1: have a breakdown, I think. So. Really why, I feel
41:02
Speaker 1: like I'm at a place where I'm really happy with
41:07
Speaker 1: being single and being me, but I want a relationship,
41:12
Speaker 1: and so I feel like I'm going to put myself
41:14
Speaker 1: out there. I'm going to be authentic and myself and
41:18
Speaker 1: really like lean into the situation. So I'm gonna be vulnerable,
41:21
Speaker 1: and I feel like I might just give my heart
41:24
Speaker 1: to someone. This is why I kind of laugh, because
41:28
Speaker 1: I watch you guys just being so innocent, naive to
41:31
Speaker 1: the whole the power of Paradise, I've heard. It's just
41:37
Speaker 1: different than it is than The Bachelor was because with
41:39
Speaker 1: the Bachelor, it was more of a sorority. It was
41:42
Speaker 1: all about hanging out with your friends, cooking, drinking wine, traveling.
41:47
Speaker 1: And you barely ever saw the Bachelor, you know. I mean,
41:50
Speaker 1: you've got more time with them because you got so far.
41:53
Speaker 1: But as far as like your day to day activities,
41:56
Speaker 1: sevent your days was just hanging out with the girls
41:59
Speaker 1: in Paradise. It's it's dating experience completely immersed in like
42:03
Speaker 1: your it's your whole life because you don't get to
42:05
Speaker 1: escape the people that you like and the people who
42:09
Speaker 1: are trying to date the person. Why am I doing
42:13
Speaker 1: this when put myself also like a way for me
42:19
Speaker 1: if I compared the two experiences, was much more of
42:22
Speaker 1: a growing and self learning process. Well that's why I
42:25
Speaker 1: felt about The Bachelor. Yeah, and that's why I'm thinking
42:28
Speaker 1: about dating Paradise to because I transformed so much. One
42:33
Speaker 1: piece of advice because actually I have been around this
42:36
Speaker 1: for a while. I've never been a Paradise and um,
42:38
Speaker 1: but we have done the podcast and talk to many
42:40
Speaker 1: people and seeing the ups and downs of this franchise, right,
42:43
Speaker 1: people coming off the show as a villain and being criticized,
42:45
Speaker 1: and people coming off the show is the beloved and
42:47
Speaker 1: being celebrated. Don't be scared to be vulnerable and let
42:52
Speaker 1: your heart go because ultimately, even at the worst case
42:57
Speaker 1: scenario ends and heartbreak, I don't think you'll read credit.
43:01
Speaker 1: And we haven't seen anybody come on and go I
43:03
Speaker 1: regret it what we have heard because people come on
43:05
Speaker 1: and say I wish I would have allowed myself more
43:09
Speaker 1: of an opportunity to explore it. Now, pain can happen, right,
43:12
Speaker 1: And that's kind of why I say I think I'm
43:14
Speaker 1: gonna have a breakdown, just because like I feel like
43:16
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be vulnerable and I'm going to put myself
43:18
Speaker 1: out there, and I don't mean it in a bad way, like,
43:22
Speaker 1: but I just feel like I'm really gonna lay it
43:24
Speaker 1: all out there. Yeah, yesterday, you've been saying that you
43:26
Speaker 1: think you may have been too careful about how you
43:29
Speaker 1: appeared on the Bachelor. Well, it's not that I was
43:32
Speaker 1: like trying to be something I wasn't. I just I
43:36
Speaker 1: was a little more reserved. You didn't see my silly
43:39
Speaker 1: side a bunch um, which, as you all know, I
43:43
Speaker 1: am pretty loud, outgoing and silly. But um, that's why
43:47
Speaker 1: I want to bring to Paradise systemmer. I want you
43:49
Speaker 1: guys to see more my fun side as opposed to
43:52
Speaker 1: a composed before. We heard this before Dean and then
43:58
Speaker 1: I was black boxed twice during this season, and I'm
44:00
Speaker 1: going I'm hearing Dan talking about getting a little Peter touched.
44:05
Speaker 1: That's so funny. But you're right, you can't hide as
44:08
Speaker 1: much in Paradise though. So if you did feel like
44:10
Speaker 1: you were reserved in the Bachelor, I think it gives
44:12
Speaker 1: you a space of environment you can get away with
44:15
Speaker 1: being reserved by think in Paradise just like an emotional explosion. Yeah, great,
44:19
Speaker 1: it's great. We're going to get to good notation on
44:22
Speaker 1: a whole new level. All right, Um, My last question
44:25
Speaker 1: before we jump into the recap for this episode, episode
44:29
Speaker 1: two of Panic season is, Um, have you been in
44:33
Speaker 1: touch with your ex husband at all? Oh? No, so
44:37
Speaker 1: he you don't know how he's been affected or feels
44:40
Speaker 1: about you being on the Bachelor. Um, he did actually
44:44
Speaker 1: reach out to me once wow the season was playing,
44:47
Speaker 1: and he said he was proud of me. That's nice. Yeah,
44:51
Speaker 1: and he said, um that he was happy that I
44:54
Speaker 1: was being myself and he wishes the best for me.
44:57
Speaker 1: So that was nice. Um, that was before you know,
45:02
Speaker 1: that's probably like the third episode. Ut the know how
45:07
Speaker 1: far you got? What queen? What he thought? It's are now?
45:10
Speaker 1: I don't know, Tasha. We're gonna take a break here
45:14
Speaker 1: for a second. When we come back, we're gonna break
45:16
Speaker 1: down the second episode of Hannaby season And at the
45:19
Speaker 1: same time, we have some reader emails that I want
45:21
Speaker 1: to discuss with all of you. I will play the
45:23
Speaker 1: host and YouTube will play the answer ease. But up first,
45:27
Speaker 1: let's talk about zipp Recruiter. Hiring is challenging. We all
45:31
Speaker 1: know it. But there's one place you can go where
45:33
Speaker 1: hiring is simple, fast and smart, a place where growing
45:36
Speaker 1: businesses connect to qualified candidates. That place is zipp recruiter
45:40
Speaker 1: dot Com. Zupercruiter sends your jobs to over a hundred
45:44
Speaker 1: of the web's leading job boards. But they don't stop there. No, no,
45:48
Speaker 1: they don't. But they're powerful matching technology. Zipp Recruiter scans

46:39

46:43
Speaker 1: so affective that four out of five employers who post
46:46
Speaker 1: on the zip recruiter website get a quality candidate through
46:49
Speaker 1: the site within the first day. Finding the right employees
46:53
Speaker 1: is one of the most challenging parts. As I talked about,
46:56
Speaker 1: it's really difficult, and as a small business owner myself,
46:58
Speaker 1: I know there's thousands of other task I'd rather spend
47:01
Speaker 1: time on. Has mentioned in sifting through resume's day after

Speaker 1: maybe out here on Access. He seems so sweet, motivated, kind,
48:03
Speaker 1: carrying the whole package. We need to get him on
48:05
Speaker 1: the podcast and more more about him. Let's get hashtag
48:09
Speaker 1: justice for Chasing trending and get this man on parodie.
48:12
Speaker 1: So he talked a second ago about what's his face
48:17
Speaker 1: as the next pilot? No, Matt Donald, the next Joe
48:22
Speaker 1: is chasing that guy now the most memorable exit. But
48:25
Speaker 1: I also thought Chason was another memorable exit. Both of
48:28
Speaker 1: them left too early. They both showed a lot of
48:31
Speaker 1: light that day. They stood out, and then they were
48:33
Speaker 1: eliminated night one. I missed those old days where you
48:37
Speaker 1: didn't know anyone who was eliminated night one. Yeah, what
48:41
Speaker 1: do you think? I think he is so cute? Yeah,
48:45
Speaker 1: and he's a pilot. He was so threatened by Peter
48:47
Speaker 1: coming in with his his uniform on and giving hand
48:50
Speaker 1: of the wings. Yeah, really lost the pilot position. I'm surprised.
48:57
Speaker 1: I'm really surprised by the chasing. Next. Okay, next one
48:59
Speaker 1: is from uh. I'm gonna say lease, it's l I
49:03
Speaker 1: s E. I want to make sure just to say
49:04
Speaker 1: the name, because I'm sure she's out there listening, and
49:07
Speaker 1: Lice Lease thanks for sending the email. It's called Luke p.
49:11
Speaker 1: I haven't heard anyone mentioned that, she says, but my
49:13
Speaker 1: husband noticed something right away with Luke P. When he
49:15
Speaker 1: came out to comfort Hannah after the Scott things. She
49:19
Speaker 1: said she was so cold, and then again on the
49:21
Speaker 1: couch that she was freezing. He never once offered her
49:25
Speaker 1: his coat. That is someone who was out for himself.
49:30
Speaker 1: She says, I am marrying the man who famously gave
49:34
Speaker 1: Caitlin his jacket once he was eliminated. I remember that
49:39
Speaker 1: moment and everyone was swooning, and I had just gotten
49:42
Speaker 1: home from Paradise and he had just like just dumped me.
49:46
Speaker 1: And I was like, it's so perfect with him, something
49:49
Speaker 1: about a guy giving you his jacket. It's just yeah,
49:53
Speaker 1: it's nice, Yeah, it is nice. And you know what,
49:56
Speaker 1: perhaps Luke was like, well, this gross, bright blue jacket
50:01
Speaker 1: of mine would just really clash with her beautiful dress
50:05
Speaker 1: in the outfit. Yes, we you know, it's funny. Here
50:07
Speaker 1: we have another email from Lauren saying failing at comforting Hannah.
50:11
Speaker 1: How is no one talking about this? She says, LUKEP
50:13
Speaker 1: goes out to comfort Hannah when she needed a break,
50:15
Speaker 1: and she's sitting there shivering and saying that she's so
50:18
Speaker 1: cold and that this guy doesn't even offer her his jacket.
50:21
Speaker 1: This is such a look into Luke's personality, not into him. Now.
50:25
Speaker 1: I get that maybe he's just naive to the situation.
50:28
Speaker 1: She doesn't see it, doesn't fully have clarity on what
50:30
Speaker 1: to do. However, it is a mistake, and I'm telling
50:35
Speaker 1: you I in my history of watching the show on
50:38
Speaker 1: social media too, have never seen a reaction more against
50:43
Speaker 1: a first impression Rose Winner than Luke P this week.
50:49
Speaker 1: It was a failure on his part, but I think
50:51
Speaker 1: it just it was a little bit the other things
50:54
Speaker 1: that kind of went alongside of it that made people go,
50:56
Speaker 1: something's up here. Real moment. Yeah. I think it was Nick,
51:03
Speaker 1: who famously always says just the most real thing he's
51:08
Speaker 1: really good at. He said something along the lines of
51:10
Speaker 1: I feel bad for Luke P. He had so much
51:12
Speaker 1: sex that God had to intervene. Kind of what he said.
51:17
Speaker 1: He's like, I was having so much sex that I
51:18
Speaker 1: was in the shower one day and God was like,
51:19
Speaker 1: stop having sex. Um. I mean, here's the thing. I
51:24
Speaker 1: believe fully that God intervenes and comes into our lives
51:28
Speaker 1: at random times, especially when in moments of like depletion
51:32
Speaker 1: or darkness. I do think it was the way it
51:34
Speaker 1: was said that was like a little bit off, like,
51:37
Speaker 1: you know, like it just made it feel like, what
51:39
Speaker 1: are you really trying to tell us, Like, I'm a
51:40
Speaker 1: good looking guy? Tell us he was the show. Yeah
51:44
Speaker 1: that was Girls always wanted me, didn't he say that? Yeah?
51:47
Speaker 1: He was like, you know, I'm attractive guy. How a
51:49
Speaker 1: lot of girls coming after me? It took advantage of
51:51
Speaker 1: it in college. Why did he have to tell us
51:53
Speaker 1: that he found God while in the shower. It was
51:55
Speaker 1: like he was trying to give an image to us. Well,
51:57
Speaker 1: he was in the shower when they like did it.
51:59
Speaker 1: Then he took a hour it was showering and they're
52:01
Speaker 1: filming it. Yeah. Yeah, it's kind of like he's not
52:05
Speaker 1: doing a lot to help himself right now. Staying in
52:08
Speaker 1: the shower so many times. It makes me feel like
52:10
Speaker 1: in Legally Blonde, which she's like, you're washing her hair
52:13
Speaker 1: in the shower. We all hear hope um that Luke
52:18
Speaker 1: p has a redemption story coming up, because right now
52:20
Speaker 1: he isn't doing a lot to help himself. The fans
52:22
Speaker 1: reaction to him hasn't been extremely positive. I don't know,
52:25
Speaker 1: I've still stay clear of how this thingen is some
52:27
Speaker 1: pump to watch it play out. So far, he is
52:29
Speaker 1: the front runner. We all are hoping for a turner,
52:32
Speaker 1: and we've seen it many times before. The most drastic
52:36
Speaker 1: turnaround in history is Colton, Right, Colton goes from being
52:39
Speaker 1: everybody's least favorite to everybody's you know, favorite, within a
52:43
Speaker 1: few months. He was never at least favorite. He was
52:47
Speaker 1: not celebrated for a while after Paradise, he was definitely criticized.
52:51
Speaker 1: People were definitely criticizing him. But I never had anything
52:54
Speaker 1: against him. He was confused situation. We're very confused with
53:00
Speaker 1: him being the Bachelor. Yeah, there's a lot of confused. Okay,
53:03
Speaker 1: maybe maybe I shouldn't have gone his drastic as everybody's
53:05
Speaker 1: least fairy, people confused. There was things against him. Same
53:09
Speaker 1: with Luke. So we're hoping Luke has his redemption story
53:13
Speaker 1: or do we just want to see I don't want
53:14
Speaker 1: to see anybody burn up in flames. But he there
53:18
Speaker 1: after the finals or when the Hannah was announced. Yeah, okay,
53:21
Speaker 1: Well I liked him then. I thought he was charming
53:24
Speaker 1: then like he was very into her, but now I
53:27
Speaker 1: kind of feel weird about so it seemed to come
53:29
Speaker 1: back right, I mean, we do ultimately and actually not
53:32
Speaker 1: always say the tasia on this podcast, Like it's the
53:35
Speaker 1: part of the fun in the game, and watching the
53:37
Speaker 1: show is like seeing people and then like criticizing judging
53:40
Speaker 1: because you're doing it from a distance and we know
53:41
Speaker 1: how it affects you. Ultimately, the best part is when
53:45
Speaker 1: they walk off of this in good light and like
53:47
Speaker 1: they have like their last week is like one that
53:49
Speaker 1: like the nice celebratory music is playing and they run
53:53
Speaker 1: off into the distance, you know, single and go on
53:55
Speaker 1: the paradise and find somebody. But sometimes it doesn't happen
53:58
Speaker 1: that way. Yeah, and um has been saying that you
54:02
Speaker 1: can't really hate someone or dislike somebody once you get
54:06
Speaker 1: to know them. And I think at this point in
54:07
Speaker 1: the season, it's so easy for us to criticize and
54:10
Speaker 1: just make lighthearted fun even like poke out appearances because
54:14
Speaker 1: we don't know them. But the second they come into
54:16
Speaker 1: our studio and we do get to talk to them,
54:18
Speaker 1: we never make fun of them again. We just want
54:20
Speaker 1: to talk us fans right now. I want to talk
54:22
Speaker 1: to you guys. When we were talking about these guys,
54:24
Speaker 1: it's earlier on the season, as if I'm sitting there
54:26
Speaker 1: on the couch watching with you I don't want to
54:28
Speaker 1: be like I don't want to give them too much
54:29
Speaker 1: credit because then you guys will be bored. So let's
54:32
Speaker 1: see what Luke p does coming up next. Jacket decision.
54:35
Speaker 1: If he sat in studio right now, I tell him
54:37
Speaker 1: that was a really terrible move. Dude, you've got to
54:39
Speaker 1: be better. I hope you get better, and if you don't,
54:41
Speaker 1: maybe he was just really nervous at night. We'll give
54:44
Speaker 1: it to you. Didn't seem like anyways. From not from Dawn,
54:49
Speaker 1: she goes, I'm now a Hannah fan. To our point, exactly,
54:53
Speaker 1: times change, opinions change. I have to say I was
54:56
Speaker 1: not a fan of Hannah be being the Bachelor, she says,
54:58
Speaker 1: but now I have seen episode one and I love her.
55:03
Speaker 1: I'm so happy to see someone who is so real.
55:06
Speaker 1: If this is all an act, I don't want to know.
55:09
Speaker 1: She is raw, real and adorable. It reminds me here
55:12
Speaker 1: of um an Instagram story I saw with one of
55:15
Speaker 1: our favorite people who also does an iHeart podcast with
55:17
Speaker 1: Becca Tilly called Scrubbing In with Becca Antanya. Tanya had
55:20
Speaker 1: an Instagram story that says, I want to start a
55:23
Speaker 1: Hannah by fan club now because I love her. So
55:26
Speaker 1: much people are loving on Hannah, Tasha, what are your
55:29
Speaker 1: thoughts on Hannah be I like Hannah by um. I
55:33
Speaker 1: think that I got to really see her grow Uncleton
55:36
Speaker 1: season and towards the end of the of the season,
55:39
Speaker 1: I was a huge fan of her. She is crazy,
55:44
Speaker 1: but in a good way. Like she is very raw,
55:47
Speaker 1: she is very real. She will call you out and
55:49
Speaker 1: she just had a lot of emotion. She has a
55:51
Speaker 1: lot of emotion, and sometimes I think of the good thing.
55:54
Speaker 1: People will be like, you're crazy. It's like, no, no, no no,
55:58
Speaker 1: let's let's alter the word crazy and call them emotionful. Yeah,
56:03
Speaker 1: it's crazy. Having emotions and displaying them is not a
56:07
Speaker 1: sign of craziness at all. But I feel in this
56:09
Speaker 1: kind of situation, you need to be like that, emotion filled,
56:14
Speaker 1: like that motionful. I mean, you know, if that's the
56:16
Speaker 1: word soa answer us this, you would know. Um is
56:22
Speaker 1: what we're seeing right now in act? Oh definitely not.
56:25
Speaker 1: We like Hanna, but told you show guys out there
56:27
Speaker 1: who didn't believe that Ashley did less. One's from Lara
56:32
Speaker 1: l a r As Laura Laura Sorry either way, Um,
56:39
Speaker 1: Hannah's Silence. It's titled What's Up? With the Hannah's radio
56:42
Speaker 1: silence on Instagram. I thought the lead always promotes the show,
56:45
Speaker 1: especially premiere, yet we have nothing. Could this mean she's
56:49
Speaker 1: completely heartbroken and burned from her season? Ashley have the answers? Okay, okay,
56:53
Speaker 1: her season didn't stop filming until last week, so she
56:56
Speaker 1: literally didn't get her phone back until like the past
56:59
Speaker 1: couple of days, and she did Instagram for the first
57:01
Speaker 1: time on Wednesday. How crazy is that? As we're watching
57:07
Speaker 1: her love story begin, it is then ending at the
57:11
Speaker 1: same time. So Banana's like, it's never been like this,
57:14
Speaker 1: But I think it's kind of cool, Like she's truly
57:16
Speaker 1: experiencing hopefully bliss right now and we're just starting to
57:21
Speaker 1: watch that relationship form. Amazing, amazing, amazing. So actually has
57:25
Speaker 1: all the answers, Tasia has all the answers, and they
57:27
Speaker 1: have all the opinions on the second episode of The Bachelorette.
57:32
Speaker 1: But before we get there, let's take a break talk
57:36
Speaker 1: about sleep number, sleep number. Hey, Ashley, I love sleep number.

Speaker 1: face in the morning, so you can get away with
58:04
Speaker 1: the ice cubes that you stick on need cubes anymore.
58:07

58:12
Speaker 1: Remember when when Actuley and I did Paradise or Paradise? Um?
58:16

58:18
Speaker 1: time I'd seen her with her face mask and she
58:19
Speaker 1: walked down with these ice things on her eyes, I

1:00:08

1:00:11
Speaker 1: actually ask them, but I think they don't hate it.
1:00:13
Speaker 1: If you're like, hey, can I just take a nap here?
1:00:15
Speaker 1: You're yeah, you have not think about how good it
1:00:21
Speaker 1: is for marketing when you have a random dude laying
1:00:22
Speaker 1: on your bed. It's actually really sleeping. Essentially, the Bachelor
1:00:27
Speaker 1: just came in to take a nap between meetings. She
1:00:29
Speaker 1: couldn't go home. So I'm telling you The Bachelor has
1:00:32
Speaker 1: been really good for me. Now it's like not awkward
1:00:34
Speaker 1: and weird for me to walk into a guys. Hey,
1:00:36
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna take a nap on your bed. Are

1:00:44
Speaker 1: That sounds great? Let's do it episode two to which
1:00:50
Speaker 1: is also episode two. Yeah, we've been talking for a
1:00:55
Speaker 1: long time, guys, and we're still here in Napa Valley
1:00:59
Speaker 1: hang out and here. Let me break down a little
1:01:03
Speaker 1: bit to get us started here with three people, it's
1:01:05
Speaker 1: always a little difficult. We're now in the Bachelor mansion,
1:01:09
Speaker 1: so we're this is always an exciting time, right. We
1:01:12
Speaker 1: get to see the guys meet the guys who meet
1:01:14
Speaker 1: the ladies. But it's the bachelortte season, so we're talking.
1:01:17
Speaker 1: We're meeting the guys really for the first time. Starting
1:01:19
Speaker 1: to really feel different watching this episode that I did
1:01:22
Speaker 1: last week. You know, I'm so premiers. I know they
1:01:26
Speaker 1: have to happen the way that they happen, but they
1:01:29
Speaker 1: don't get me like jazz Up watched this episode and
1:01:33
Speaker 1: now I'm getting excited. I'm starting to feel like I'm
1:01:36
Speaker 1: rooting for some people. I like watching some of the chemistry.
1:01:39
Speaker 1: I believe that now she can maybe find a guy,
1:01:41
Speaker 1: because I know last week wasn't super thrilled about the bunch,
1:01:44
Speaker 1: said there was only like three right, And now I'm
1:01:48
Speaker 1: looking at this, I'm like, oh, he's cute. I thought
1:01:50
Speaker 1: he was. He's cuter. Okay, everybody's looking better. Everybody's being
1:01:54
Speaker 1: really charming. I said that about a couple of the guys.
1:01:56
Speaker 1: I was really taken aback by last week because I
1:01:59
Speaker 1: wasn't thrilled by any one. But this week, I think
1:02:01
Speaker 1: there's a lot of good contenders. Yeah, they're coming out
1:02:03
Speaker 1: of the woodwork. So the first date card says I'm
1:02:06
Speaker 1: looking for Mr. Wright. This date card comes following luke
1:02:09
Speaker 1: P and we see him say that he's already could
1:02:13
Speaker 1: see himself marrying Hannah and having a family with her.
1:02:18
Speaker 1: More about luke P later. We all have opinions about
1:02:21
Speaker 1: lup Um. He's definitely a captivating figure this this season.
1:02:26
Speaker 1: First date card says I'm looking for Mr Wright. The
1:02:28
Speaker 1: group date includes Grant Lucas, Mike Jed, Jonathan, j P,
1:02:32
Speaker 1: J Dylan, and Luke P. It's accompanied by Drag Queen's
1:02:38
Speaker 1: Alaska and Alyssa in America's Next Top Model, Miss Jay J. Love.
1:02:46
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, I think we can sum this one
1:02:48
Speaker 1: up by saying that, yeah, luke P, he's he's a
1:02:51
Speaker 1: buff dude. Right, short guy. We saw that luke P
1:02:58
Speaker 1: is short. Yeah, that's why he is so like why
1:03:03
Speaker 1: it's always my excuse is I'm a tall guy and
1:03:06
Speaker 1: I'm not Jack because I'm tall leans out as opposed. Yeah,
1:03:11
Speaker 1: it's hard to get him compact together. You know what,
1:03:14
Speaker 1: I'm going to do a poll on Instagram. Would you
1:03:16
Speaker 1: rather a muscular guy or a tall guy? And tall
1:03:19
Speaker 1: is gonna let Easton who's like also like six three
1:03:23
Speaker 1: over there is? Yeah, I'm gonna do it right now. Yeah,
1:03:28
Speaker 1: thank you. Let's we'll give an update at the end
1:03:30
Speaker 1: of this segment on what people respond with. Um, Tasha,
1:03:34
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you, right, we see these guys walk out, uh,
1:03:38
Speaker 1: kind of showing off their skills and their talents. Did
1:03:42
Speaker 1: you enjoy this date? Yeah? Very much so. I think
1:03:45
Speaker 1: I got to see a different side of all the guys.
1:03:47
Speaker 1: And I mean, who doesn't want to see guys and speedoes? Yeah? Well,
1:03:55
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't want to, but the hot ones.
1:04:00
Speaker 1: It's fun to kind of like judge a little bit
1:04:02
Speaker 1: when you're on the couch with wine and your girlfriends. Yeah, okay,
1:04:05
Speaker 1: where do your eyes go like on a guy when
1:04:07
Speaker 1: he walks out of speedo? Is it like, no, you're
1:04:09
Speaker 1: like looking at his face? Look at his face, look
1:04:11
Speaker 1: at his face as his abs? Okay? Did you like?
1:04:16
Speaker 1: I mean like the V like the little sex A
1:04:19
Speaker 1: good V is what we called that what we call
1:04:20
Speaker 1: it those sex bones? I call it a V. Yeah,
1:04:23
Speaker 1: I call it a V two. But like technically, if
1:04:25
Speaker 1: you wanted to sex bones, I don't know I don't
1:04:27
Speaker 1: think muscle because if you had bones, right, Yeah, you
1:04:31
Speaker 1: know I'm gonna start. I'm gonna go back to Denver
1:04:36
Speaker 1: and start really working on my V very fine, Thank you.
1:04:42
Speaker 1: I need help. UM what we what I think a
1:04:46
Speaker 1: consensus is is from from social media and um our
1:04:50
Speaker 1: emails already and the three of us talking. The guys
1:04:53
Speaker 1: are looking better this episode than the last, like like
1:04:56
Speaker 1: physically right, Like you had both mentioned that there's a
1:05:00
Speaker 1: lot more guys here that you're attracted to than you
1:05:04
Speaker 1: were last week. I don't know what happened to them.
1:05:05
Speaker 1: They all drink beauty juice or something, but yeah, I
1:05:09
Speaker 1: can see that also here and then um Tyler Tyler
1:05:18
Speaker 1: g got better looking and then looking mostly because hearing
1:05:22
Speaker 1: this rivalry with Cam. Yeah, it's all starting to play out.
1:05:26
Speaker 1: Stories are starting to unfold. Also, a story that's unfolding
1:05:30
Speaker 1: is more and more. This loot Peak character continues to
1:05:34
Speaker 1: be a presence on the show where we see him
1:05:38
Speaker 1: on this day stand up and say, I'm generally starting
1:05:40
Speaker 1: to fall in love with you. Ridiculous. What's going on
1:05:44
Speaker 1: with that? Too soon? Right week? Too? Have we seen
1:05:48
Speaker 1: something like that happened, especially from somebody at such a
1:05:51
Speaker 1: leadership position. This is his first date with her, and
1:05:55
Speaker 1: this is like their second day filming, So he's literally
1:05:59
Speaker 1: saying that within forty eight hours because we have that
1:06:01
Speaker 1: breakday in between, that he's falling in love in forty
1:06:04
Speaker 1: eight hours and saying it out. But that's not true.
1:06:06
Speaker 1: That means he watched last season, he did his research,
1:06:11
Speaker 1: and he was very love the idea. Yes, he already
1:06:15
Speaker 1: had an idea of her in his mind, but don't
1:06:17
Speaker 1: you feel like everybody else, like all the other guys there.
1:06:20
Speaker 1: I mean, he was crowned then Mr. Wright, which I
1:06:23
Speaker 1: think is just going to continue to kind of like
1:06:25
Speaker 1: fuel his ego if he has one, he's probably walking.
1:06:28
Speaker 1: I mean, he's now the the first Rose getter and receiver.
1:06:34
Speaker 1: I don't know, it all sounds weird. And then he's
1:06:37
Speaker 1: also crowned Mr right If, and everybody at the party
1:06:41
Speaker 1: kind of feels it seems like they think he it's
1:06:43
Speaker 1: way too soon for him right there, starting to judge
1:06:45
Speaker 1: him hands down. I mean, if everybody there is feeling
1:06:48
Speaker 1: like it's too soon, maybe he just really has that
1:06:51
Speaker 1: connection with her, or is there all tior motives here
1:06:55
Speaker 1: yet he's just buttering up simple that, Yeah, do you
1:07:00
Speaker 1: have more sympathy for her him than I don't know.
1:07:03
Speaker 1: I just think I think it's a little too soon. Honestly,
1:07:06
Speaker 1: it kind of makes me uncomfortable. It's hard putting myself
1:07:09
Speaker 1: in that position. And there's no way I could have
1:07:10
Speaker 1: said that at the second Road ceremony or if that
1:07:14
Speaker 1: second week guys that I love you too. Too many
1:07:17
Speaker 1: girls in his life, clearly, I just I have a
1:07:20
Speaker 1: hard time. I think there's a level here too that
1:07:24
Speaker 1: we might not even be speaking about yet. On this show,
1:07:27
Speaker 1: emotions happen quickly, right, everything sped up. There's a lot
1:07:31
Speaker 1: of intention, you're isolated, you're pursuing one person. There's wisdom
1:07:37
Speaker 1: and I think we should all watch this as viewers
1:07:39
Speaker 1: and what you say and what you don't say. Now
1:07:42
Speaker 1: you might be feeling those emotions like holy cow, I'm
1:07:44
Speaker 1: feeling a rush of love and of lust and of
1:07:48
Speaker 1: just just so much excitement. But when you're on the show,
1:07:52
Speaker 1: you have to know that like who you are in
1:07:55
Speaker 1: real life as well, and go is this rational? Is
1:07:57
Speaker 1: this logical? Is this wise to now express? And I
1:08:00
Speaker 1: think when we see people express emotions and feelings on
1:08:04
Speaker 1: this show too soon or too aggressively or too early
1:08:06
Speaker 1: in or in situations that are not ideal. I mean Cam,
1:08:09
Speaker 1: we've seen artist Cam. We have to ask ourselves. The
1:08:12
Speaker 1: question is not if he's feeling it or not, because
1:08:14
Speaker 1: we don't know that, we can't be the judge of that,
1:08:16
Speaker 1: but is it the wise thing to say and do
1:08:18
Speaker 1: at the time, and if it's genuine and if it's genuine, Ashley,
1:08:22
Speaker 1: what do you think? I just don't think it's genuine,
1:08:25
Speaker 1: and I think that you shouldn't say it until it's genuine.
1:08:29
Speaker 1: It's fair, right, Yeah, I agree? Okay, moving on to
1:08:33
Speaker 1: uh date two. It's the one on one surprise one
1:08:37
Speaker 1: on one in my opinion, for Tyler g to get
1:08:39
Speaker 1: the first one on one, right, You know what's sometimes
1:08:42
Speaker 1: it's a one off that you don't know their name yet.
1:08:45
Speaker 1: And then sometimes it's like Blake, who was probably a standout.
1:08:48
Speaker 1: Who is your first date? Ben? Okay, I look at that,
1:08:52
Speaker 1: So that one far and so did Blake and who knows? Maybe, uh,
1:08:57
Speaker 1: maybe Tyler is a sleeper. Hannah Bey got the first
1:09:00
Speaker 1: one on one day. Oh yeah, that's right. Look at that.
1:09:03
Speaker 1: It was kind of the markin to Hannah by and
1:09:05
Speaker 1: also thought Hanna Bey was going home after that, right, Yeah,
1:09:09
Speaker 1: I think this date went very very well. You guys
1:09:12
Speaker 1: like Tyler g Yeah, very manly A sweetheart tip? Is
1:09:17
Speaker 1: that how you would explain like manly um looking at
1:09:20
Speaker 1: him like he I think you both as we were
1:09:22
Speaker 1: watching the episode together, you said, he kind of looks
1:09:24
Speaker 1: like a Superman. Yeah, he's like a Superman character. He
1:09:27
Speaker 1: kind of looks like a bend Zorn, you know, like
1:09:29
Speaker 1: a little like just like masculine. He'll take care of yeah,
1:09:34
Speaker 1: like he'll protect you like that. Hug must feel real
1:09:36
Speaker 1: good because he's like a man. He feels he feels
1:09:40
Speaker 1: put together, like he feels like he knows what he's
1:09:42
Speaker 1: saying and why he's saying it while he's saying it. Right, Like,
1:09:45
Speaker 1: when I think about this, dude, I'm thinking about the
1:09:48
Speaker 1: fact that, like he is wise, he's calm and what
1:09:51
Speaker 1: he's saying. He's a good listener, he's available and ready
1:09:55
Speaker 1: to talk to her. But then even like when she
1:09:57
Speaker 1: gave him the rose, this little comment was, does this
1:09:59
Speaker 1: mean get to spend more time with you? That's cute.
1:10:02
Speaker 1: That's cute, which is totally the opposite of Luke, who
1:10:06
Speaker 1: says stuff like you know, I'm attractive and like to
1:10:11
Speaker 1: get with me. That's just a lot, so I think
1:10:14
Speaker 1: it's so cute. Tyler keeps saying that he's the luckiest
1:10:16
Speaker 1: man alive, and that is exactly what the bachelor, and
1:10:19
Speaker 1: especially Hannah wants to hear, because she's the kind of
1:10:22
Speaker 1: girl who doesn't want to play hard to get. She
1:10:24
Speaker 1: wants to know the guy is happy with her and
1:10:27
Speaker 1: very into her. Yeah. Moving on now to date card
1:10:30
Speaker 1: number three. Man, We're three dates into the season, already
1:10:33
Speaker 1: moving fast, moving quickly. This day includes Devin, Mateo Connor,
1:10:40
Speaker 1: Darren Kevin, Dustin, Tyler, see Joey, Peter Garrett. The clue is,
1:10:44
Speaker 1: let's get our love on track. The data is roller skating.
1:10:48
Speaker 1: It's not just roller skating, but they're competing in a derby.
1:10:53
Speaker 1: Darren starts it out by predicting that chance someone ends
1:10:57
Speaker 1: in the hospital. I uh, you know what I like
1:11:01
Speaker 1: about Hannah right now? I really do think that she's
1:11:05
Speaker 1: doing a terrific job but putting these mento ease because
1:11:09
Speaker 1: when she says, hey, I don't care if these guys
1:11:11
Speaker 1: are great. I don't care if these guys are fantastic skaters.
1:11:13
Speaker 1: I don't care what they do. I just want them
1:11:15
Speaker 1: to have fun and be joy filled. That is an
1:11:19
Speaker 1: expectation that is not heavy. And I think that is
1:11:23
Speaker 1: such a big role for the lead to do to
1:11:25
Speaker 1: the contestants, to not make them feel like they have
1:11:27
Speaker 1: to be something other than themselves and other than joy filled,
1:11:33
Speaker 1: to have the best experience and the show their best
1:11:35
Speaker 1: selves to Hannah, she's doing great. It is true. I
1:11:38
Speaker 1: think sometimes early on in these group dates that are competitive,
1:11:42
Speaker 1: people are like, well, in order to stand out and
1:11:44
Speaker 1: to get extra time, I need to win, and that's
1:11:47
Speaker 1: that's not the case. Just have a good time. The
1:11:51
Speaker 1: you know, they were pretty carible, like honestly though, I mean,
1:11:54
Speaker 1: I'm glad she said that expectation because I hope they
1:11:57
Speaker 1: had fun. They're awful scared. I have a roller skating
1:12:01
Speaker 1: in the years. We used to do these all night
1:12:03
Speaker 1: skates back in middle school. You guys ever do those?
1:12:06
Speaker 1: Had you ever do the like all nighters where you
1:12:08
Speaker 1: go into like a roller skating rink. They would, they
1:12:10
Speaker 1: would do it. Middle school is like a way for
1:12:13
Speaker 1: your parents to get rid of you. I was never
1:12:15
Speaker 1: I was never allowed, but like my friends would go,
1:12:18
Speaker 1: I was always It was like the thing to do
1:12:20
Speaker 1: in seven grade that like I couldn't go to I
1:12:22
Speaker 1: wasn't allowed to, but I would go for like the
1:12:23
Speaker 1: first four hours and then have to leave. But yeah,
1:12:26
Speaker 1: they do all night skates, and you would hear some
1:12:28
Speaker 1: weird stuff go down at all night skates. Yeah no,
1:12:31
Speaker 1: I never did that. You know, that doesn't sound like
1:12:33
Speaker 1: my cup of tea. But I like to go to
1:12:36
Speaker 1: bed earlier, and I don't think my parents would have
1:12:37
Speaker 1: let me say that. Hey, well, it was a bunch
1:12:40
Speaker 1: of dudes skating around a rink, falling into each other, fighting, arguing, grappling. Meanwhile,
1:12:46
Speaker 1: back at the house, ABC man, I hope to never
1:12:49
Speaker 1: hear anybody ever talk to about themselves like that. Again,
1:12:52
Speaker 1: there's something about this tie. I don't know how big
1:12:54
Speaker 1: a fan you are the podcast, our podcast. You probably
1:12:57
Speaker 1: listen to it every week. But um yeah, one thing
1:13:01
Speaker 1: that actually, and I've really started to jump on is
1:13:04
Speaker 1: people self describing themselves. Everyone the podcast is probably rolling
1:13:07
Speaker 1: their eyes right now, um because like here, Ben and
1:13:10
Speaker 1: I a shtually talk about this every week, Especially Ben,
1:13:13
Speaker 1: I dislike when people self describe themselves. I think we
1:13:15
Speaker 1: should allow others to describe us and live a life
1:13:18
Speaker 1: worthy of being described. And then the second is I
1:13:21
Speaker 1: don't like people talking about themselves in the third person.
1:13:26
Speaker 1: Always be Cam? Is that to a t He's literally
1:13:30
Speaker 1: laid out why did he say ABC Cat always be,
1:13:34
Speaker 1: always be Cam? And what does that mean exactly? I
1:13:39
Speaker 1: wonder how long it took him to come up with
1:13:40
Speaker 1: that one, honestly, like it was like his grandma. It
1:13:44
Speaker 1: sounds like something like a grandma would be likely ABC
1:13:46
Speaker 1: always became And he's like, that's my motto till I'm forty,
1:13:50
Speaker 1: Like I'm gonna always be Cam, which means nothing. Really,
1:13:55
Speaker 1: Like he's saying nothing, Like what does that mean to
1:13:57
Speaker 1: always be Cam? Like as as a viewer or as
1:14:00
Speaker 1: a friend of his or as a family member. When
1:14:02
Speaker 1: he says always be Cam, what should we assume Cam
1:14:05
Speaker 1: is Cam as a creeper. I was just gonna we
1:14:09
Speaker 1: don't know him though, so like we don't know him yet,
1:14:12
Speaker 1: so like he's actually saying nothing, right if you think
1:14:15
Speaker 1: about it, like we don't know Cam. He's not saying
1:14:18
Speaker 1: always be loyal, always be kind, always be considerate. He's
1:14:23
Speaker 1: saying always be a name. It's it's it's weird. I mean, essentially,
1:14:28
Speaker 1: it's like saying, always be true to yourself is so
1:14:33
Speaker 1: always be Cam sitting back of the house meanwhile saying
1:14:35
Speaker 1: he's lonely. He hasn't had time with Hannah, he hasn't
1:14:38
Speaker 1: been invited any of his dates. What he should know
1:14:41
Speaker 1: is there's a reason. So he decides to be bold.
1:14:48
Speaker 1: It's a foreshadowing, we see it. It's always dangerous when
1:14:51
Speaker 1: you decide. When anybody the show saysn't gonna be bold.
1:14:54
Speaker 1: What he ends up doing because he shows up to
1:14:58
Speaker 1: the cocktail party in the group date, we can se
1:15:00
Speaker 1: at the end of the race, nothing major happens except
1:15:02
Speaker 1: Fred Willard comes back into the picture, which we always love.
1:15:05
Speaker 1: I just love when Fred shows up, just a fantastic yea.
1:15:08
Speaker 1: I think it's like a season right, he's a season
1:15:10
Speaker 1: regular now, Yeah, he's on my season two. Fred Willard
1:15:13
Speaker 1: is a bundle of joy. And Fred Willard continues to
1:15:18
Speaker 1: show up in Bachelor Nation. Why and how we don't know,
1:15:20
Speaker 1: but we don't. We hope he never leaves. So let's
1:15:23
Speaker 1: skip to the cocktail party. Cocktail players going fine. Everybody
1:15:26
Speaker 1: seems pretty happy, right, Nothing that's weird going on there?
1:15:29
Speaker 1: Little beat up, a little tired, a little exhausted and
1:15:32
Speaker 1: Cam shows up crashes to get the cocktail party to
1:15:36
Speaker 1: steal handa away. It never happened, happened this early on.
1:15:40
Speaker 1: Here's here's a tactic. Cam we all know has something
1:15:43
Speaker 1: in him that is ticking, right, He's like a ticking
1:15:46
Speaker 1: time bomb. We could just see it in his eyes.
1:15:48
Speaker 1: So I was like, we're gonna test Cam this week
1:15:51
Speaker 1: and see how he responds to not having a date.
1:15:54
Speaker 1: He apparently got so fired up that he had to
1:15:56
Speaker 1: go crash one. I think he got way too excited
1:16:00
Speaker 1: personally about getting that very first rose, and he shouldn't
1:16:04
Speaker 1: have taken as serious as he did. His head is
1:16:07
Speaker 1: very big right now. That is like that story of
1:16:10
Speaker 1: Huberists that we learned about in like ninth grade English.
1:16:13
Speaker 1: He just just flew too close to the sun. He's like,
1:16:16
Speaker 1: he's he's going to be on this downfall now because
1:16:20
Speaker 1: his ego is so big, so big, I think there's
1:16:24
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out how we should play this here,
1:16:26
Speaker 1: Um what I want to do now, because I don't
1:16:30
Speaker 1: think the story makes sense unless we tie in what
1:16:32
Speaker 1: Cam does at the cocktail party before the rose ceremony.
1:16:39
Speaker 1: Cam then continues this these escapades onto the cocktail party
1:16:44
Speaker 1: the rose ceremony when he does something that is might
1:16:48
Speaker 1: be one of the most egregious moves that I've ever
1:16:52
Speaker 1: seen anybody make. On week two, he Kevin and Hannah
1:16:56
Speaker 1: are having a moment and talking. We don't know how
1:16:58
Speaker 1: good it's really going. We don't see a lot of it,
1:17:00
Speaker 1: but we see it happening, and Cam decides to walk
1:17:03
Speaker 1: up and says, hey, I actually have something for all
1:17:08
Speaker 1: three of us. I was weirded out by that. Well,
1:17:12
Speaker 1: I wasn't at first at first. My first reaction was
1:17:16
Speaker 1: sounds interesting, maybe creative, maybe cool, maybe something different. Maybe
1:17:20
Speaker 1: they're gonna play a game. And since Cam already can
1:17:23
Speaker 1: tell that he's causing some issues in the house, made
1:17:25
Speaker 1: this his way of just saying, hey, let's laugh about this.
1:17:28
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I want to apologize and let you know,
1:17:30
Speaker 1: Kevin to continue to have your time, and I'm only
1:17:32
Speaker 1: to have it like something that is just good and
1:17:35
Speaker 1: noble altogether. Instead, he literally invites Kevin to sit next
1:17:40
Speaker 1: to him and Hannah as he gives her chicken nuggets.
1:17:44
Speaker 1: I have to say, the chicken nuggets in a ringbox
1:17:47
Speaker 1: is a nice move. I would have been you know.
1:17:50
Speaker 1: If it wasn't Cam, it would have been like a great, dude,
1:17:54
Speaker 1: I'm in love with you, You're fantastic. But being from
1:17:57
Speaker 1: Cam and the way he did it, it was a
1:17:59
Speaker 1: grow this move. It's all about your delivery, right. However,
1:18:03
Speaker 1: the line was very clever when he asked totally accept this,
1:18:07
Speaker 1: like honey mustard or something. There was nothing clever. There's
1:18:10
Speaker 1: nothing clever about using a line. That's so I will
1:18:13
Speaker 1: always accept my cameos every time asked me to tell
1:18:16
Speaker 1: somebody to accept a rose. It's not that hard. Can
1:18:19
Speaker 1: you accept this honey mustard? It's not because he didn't
1:18:23
Speaker 1: say it. I wish that was the case, or Cam
1:18:26
Speaker 1: has some work to do. Here's the thing I thought,
1:18:28
Speaker 1: Kevin still handled it well. He was angry, he should be.
1:18:31
Speaker 1: He was embarrassed, he should be. His pride was shot.
1:18:34
Speaker 1: I get why he sat next to two people on
1:18:37
Speaker 1: a date, one guy with his girlfriend. Nothing about that.
1:18:40
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just so weird of him to be like,
1:18:42
Speaker 1: I'm going to include this guy in the date just
1:18:44
Speaker 1: because I want to be a dick like that. But
1:18:47
Speaker 1: then he didn't include him in any way, totally boxed
1:18:50
Speaker 1: out of the entire completely ignored Hyeah. It was nothing
1:18:53
Speaker 1: about that was inclusive or accepting. Truthfully, cam Is is
1:18:57
Speaker 1: a target right now in the house. We can see
1:18:59
Speaker 1: it playing out. It's not gonna end anytime soon, I'm afraid.
1:19:01
Speaker 1: The final big moment was when Luke p takes off
1:19:04
Speaker 1: his shirt gives Hannah massage. I just think it's it's
1:19:06
Speaker 1: really interesting how well Jed handled it. Jed was a cute.
1:19:10
Speaker 1: This is when this was the official moment that I
1:19:13
Speaker 1: picked a favorite this season. My favorite for Hannah is Jed.
1:19:17
Speaker 1: I called him out last week is one of my
1:19:19
Speaker 1: top four, but now he's who I wanted to end
1:19:22
Speaker 1: up with. Honestly, he's such a gentleman, so cute, and
1:19:25
Speaker 1: he was genuinely sad when he saw that, and he
1:19:28
Speaker 1: could have been really awkward when she came to talk
1:19:30
Speaker 1: to him, but instead he was just like, I get it.
1:19:33
Speaker 1: He said like, hey, you know what else is awkward?
1:19:35
Speaker 1: That there's twenty five dudes here seemed to be into you.
1:19:38
Speaker 1: Totally good, totally good. Um, Okay, I'm gonna sum up
1:19:42
Speaker 1: the episode just for our listeners in one second and
1:19:45
Speaker 1: for all of us. What we're finding out is these
1:19:47
Speaker 1: guys are more attractive than we could ever have imagined.
1:19:50
Speaker 1: We have some standouts coming through, UH that all of
1:19:54
Speaker 1: us are fans of some of I guess the surprises
1:19:57
Speaker 1: that we never thought would be popular the show are
1:20:00
Speaker 1: now popular. We also think that Hannah Bee is doing
1:20:03
Speaker 1: a terrific job as the Bachelorette. UM. She's being weird,
1:20:07
Speaker 1: she's being quirky, she's being confident, she's saying things that
1:20:10
Speaker 1: she shouldn't and saying things that she should, and altogether
1:20:13
Speaker 1: is amazingly entertaining and incredibly authentic. What we want to
1:20:18
Speaker 1: find out is where these drama filled stories is going
1:20:21
Speaker 1: to play out. We will see that in the upcoming
1:20:23

Speaker 1: a bottle of wine and had some girl talk. It's
1:20:40
Speaker 1: one the UH, this season of The Bachelorette is worth watching,
1:20:44
Speaker 1: but Caitlin Bristow is worth listening to. UM. I think
1:20:48
Speaker 1: here's my prediction next week's episode is going to continue
1:20:51

1:20:54

1:21:27
Speaker 1: Hey uh hey, like we're talking about we're here in
1:21:30
Speaker 1: Napa Valley. It's my first time in Napa Valley. I
1:21:32
Speaker 1: don't think I mentioned that before, my very first time.
1:21:35
Speaker 1: Amy continues to bring me the places for my first time.
1:21:37
Speaker 1: I was in for the first time with Amy. I'm
1:21:40
Speaker 1: in Nappa for the first time with Amy. I feel
1:21:42
Speaker 1: like you're trying to say something. Maybe I just don't
1:21:44
Speaker 1: think you spend enough time in California. I don't. But
1:21:47
Speaker 1: it's beautiful, it's amazing, and we're staying on the same
1:21:52
Speaker 1: golf course that the Safe Way Open is on and
1:21:54
Speaker 1: and I love golf, So I'm looking right now at
1:21:57
Speaker 1: it's this golf course and it's absolutely beautiful. We've brought
1:22:01
Speaker 1: in probably the biggest star of the weekend. No No,
1:22:06
Speaker 1: No time out. She's shaking her head. No to the podcast,
1:22:10
Speaker 1: Bobby Jacobs on the podcast. She is the founder. And
1:22:14
Speaker 1: what else would you call your title of this event? Um,
1:22:17
Speaker 1: I am the I'm a mom, mom, I'm a wife. Um,
1:22:23
Speaker 1: I have four dogs, and I'm the co founder of
1:22:25
Speaker 1: Live in the Vineyard and the founder of Live in
1:22:27
Speaker 1: the Vineyard Ghost Country. Bobby lives in Denver. I live
1:22:30
Speaker 1: in Parker. I live in the Highlands, North Denver. That's amazing.
1:22:35
Speaker 1: I just was there. Um, going in that area for
1:22:37
Speaker 1: dinner at Ashcara, the restaurant that I started. My restaurant
1:22:43
Speaker 1: is right next door. I just started a restaurant in
1:22:44
Speaker 1: North Denver. Dinners on me for bringing us out here,
1:22:47
Speaker 1: because this event is so great that anybody that, no
1:22:50
Speaker 1: matter where you're in the country, should come to it.
1:22:52
Speaker 1: We've brought in. We still have Tashia with us. Um,
1:22:54
Speaker 1: she's gonna chime in. She's a big country fan. We've
1:22:57
Speaker 1: brought in Amy, our producer, who you know very well.
1:23:01
Speaker 1: Because Bobby and Amy have known each other for the
1:23:03
Speaker 1: last we were trying to remember fifteen years. We've always
1:23:06
Speaker 1: worked because Bobby has always worked in music and I've
1:23:09
Speaker 1: always worked in music with Ryan Seacrest, so we've cross paths.
1:23:12
Speaker 1: But then years ago she started this event and this
1:23:15
Speaker 1: is my first time here. But I have heard about
1:23:16
Speaker 1: it forever. People rave about this. I mean, how can
1:23:20
Speaker 1: you not. It were in Napa Valley at a country
1:23:23
Speaker 1: music festival. Um, how did you come up with the idea? Well,
1:23:27
Speaker 1: Live in the vineyar Ghost Country. I love love country music,
1:23:30
Speaker 1: and my husband always wanted to have Live in the
1:23:33
Speaker 1: Vineyard be like a twist vineyard what you created for
1:23:37
Speaker 1: the live and Live the Vineyard and goes beyond just
1:23:40
Speaker 1: this festival. Yes, yes, Live in the Vineyard UM was created.
1:23:43
Speaker 1: And I'm the co creator of the original co founder
1:23:46
Speaker 1: of Live and the Vineyard UM, which was eleven years ago.
1:23:50
Speaker 1: And so it was created UM by my friend Claire
1:23:55
Speaker 1: Parr and myself and then um I have now taken
1:23:58
Speaker 1: over the business as of a few years ago and
1:24:01
Speaker 1: so now it's mine UM. And so it is just
1:24:04
Speaker 1: a really it's a labor of love. It was created
1:24:06
Speaker 1: to help artists market and promote their music because um
1:24:10
Speaker 1: in today, well eleven years ago, it's it's just a
1:24:13
Speaker 1: different model. Now it's different, but then it was just
1:24:16
Speaker 1: one more vehicle to help artists break their music. And
1:24:19
Speaker 1: so that that's why it was created. Their only moneymaker.
1:24:22
Speaker 1: Carncerts are merchandise concerts, you know, and then exactly exactly,
1:24:28
Speaker 1: and so it's a vehicle where the artists are curated
1:24:31
Speaker 1: based on their current music and the music that they released,
1:24:34
Speaker 1: and so therefore it's like one big mark. It's like
1:24:36
Speaker 1: a marketing opportunity that can add into like being another
1:24:39
Speaker 1: cog in the wheel um to releasing music. And the
1:24:43
Speaker 1: thing I love about it, and the reason I wanted
1:24:45
Speaker 1: Bobby to come on today is because The Bachelor does
1:24:48
Speaker 1: the same thing, specifically for a lot of country artists.
1:24:52
Speaker 1: So in a minute, we're going to talk to Scotty
1:24:54
Speaker 1: McCreary and Morgan Evans. And Morgan was on beccas season
1:24:59
Speaker 1: of The Bachelor performing at a date with Leo and Becca.
1:25:03
Speaker 1: I remember that, so I think, because you know, the
1:25:06
Speaker 1: audience is very similar that a lot of the Bachelor
1:25:08
Speaker 1: audience loves country music, so it's that they use that
1:25:11
Speaker 1: as the same thing to be able to get their
1:25:14
Speaker 1: music out there and this little inside baseball. But what's
1:25:17
Speaker 1: kind of interesting is when when an artist is on
1:25:19
Speaker 1: The Bachelor, you see their songs, you see everything hit Oh,
1:25:24
Speaker 1: it translates completely. It's unbelievable. The translation question I had,
1:25:28
Speaker 1: how many people are we expecting at this it's only
1:25:32
Speaker 1: it's only eight and thirty people total for the for
1:25:35
Speaker 1: the theater events. So for tonight at the Uptown Theater,
1:25:38
Speaker 1: it is going to be eight hundred and thirty two
1:25:39
Speaker 1: people total. It is it's a private it's a private
1:25:43
Speaker 1: experience and it's been it's basically once in a lifetime
1:25:47
Speaker 1: and it is I hand picked the artist. I work
1:25:49
Speaker 1: with all the labels and the managers, and I work
1:25:52
Speaker 1: with the you know, as far as what's being released
1:25:55
Speaker 1: and really what works well together for a lineup. And
1:25:58
Speaker 1: so if there's an artist that might not fit in
1:26:00
Speaker 1: one particular venue, will put them in another one. So
1:26:03
Speaker 1: it's highlighted and it's acoustic and there's no there's no
1:26:07
Speaker 1: plugged in you know, perform. It's a it's an acoustic show.
1:26:10
Speaker 1: Yesterday people were just out in the vineyard in Napa
1:26:13
Speaker 1: listening to country music. We're at Regucci. Yes So yesterday
1:26:17
Speaker 1: we started off that we kicked off the week um
1:26:19
Speaker 1: with Regucci Vineyards and Regusci Winery and it was Walker
1:26:24
Speaker 1: Hayes and Lanco and Brad Paisley headlines. And what's really
1:26:27
Speaker 1: really cool about this that was Okay, so you can't
1:26:32
Speaker 1: purchase tickets. So people listening for Bobby's next event, you
1:26:37
Speaker 1: enter to win and then you get to come. So wait,
1:26:40
Speaker 1: we explain that because you have another one coming up.
1:26:42
Speaker 1: So people listening you can have this experience like we're
1:26:44
Speaker 1: having if they get lucky and they win, you can't
1:26:48
Speaker 1: purchase tickets. And so back to the whole marketing and
1:26:50
Speaker 1: and the promotion of artists music. So what happens is
1:26:53
Speaker 1: there's a net. So it's a it's like a four
1:26:55
Speaker 1: part look at us, like a four part thing where
1:26:57
Speaker 1: the first part is you basically throw it out there too.
1:27:01
Speaker 1: There's three to four hundred radio stations in the country
1:27:03
Speaker 1: promoting this and then and so that's part one. So
1:27:09
Speaker 1: you entered a win and then there's a huge broadcast
1:27:12
Speaker 1: across the whole United States where we're in over almost
1:27:15
Speaker 1: four hundred markets, and then the second part is you
1:27:17
Speaker 1: win and you come and then you are in it,
1:27:20
Speaker 1: and then you have the content from it, and then
1:27:22
Speaker 1: you have the after the pieces afterwards that really like
1:27:26
Speaker 1: kind of connected all and people can cease a lot
1:27:28
Speaker 1: of the footage on CMT right. Yeah. CMT is our
1:27:31
Speaker 1: is our title sponsor. Are there any other kind of
1:27:33
Speaker 1: concerts out here now but that take pace like this
1:27:35
Speaker 1: or no? Um I the first that was ever pop
1:27:39
Speaker 1: music didn't come to NAPA until we brought it here
1:27:41
Speaker 1: eleven years ago. It was very jazz and very classical music.
1:27:44
Speaker 1: And so you name some of the artists that have
1:27:46
Speaker 1: done live in the Vineyard, Rob Thomas, Atlantis, Morris Set, Lenny,
1:27:50
Speaker 1: Rob Thomas. He's obsessed with Rob and now like I'm
1:27:57
Speaker 1: finding myself listening to Rob on my own on planes.
1:28:00
Speaker 1: Really Yeah, So it's funny. I worked um back when
1:28:05
Speaker 1: Matchbox twenty was started, when it went from Tabitha's Secret
1:28:09
Speaker 1: based on Or They were based in Florida, and they
1:28:11
Speaker 1: went to Matchbox Swinging signed the Lava records. I broke.
1:28:14
Speaker 1: I drove them around in a minivan. That's when I met.
1:28:18
Speaker 1: That's when we met. Ye, That's when we met in
1:28:22
Speaker 1: San Francisco with Ryan Seacrest. That was the most and
1:28:29
Speaker 1: so I drove them in a minivan and they all
1:28:30
Speaker 1: had their twenty first birthdays on the road. I'm driving
1:28:33
Speaker 1: them in the minivan and I would take them into
1:28:35
Speaker 1: radio stations and I would beg them, please, please please,
1:28:38
Speaker 1: can you have us come into the radio station? And
1:28:40
Speaker 1: they're like, who are you? And who is this band?
1:28:42
Speaker 1: I go, They're going to be the biggest band. Ryan
1:28:44
Speaker 1: Seacrest and I and then the most their fans, Castic
1:28:51
Speaker 1: were with Matchbox twenty and probably Bobby on a sidewalk
1:28:55
Speaker 1: in San Francisco, a sidewalk sidewalk symphony. They were partial
1:29:00
Speaker 1: worm ing. Yeah, they were performing on the sidewalk. We
1:29:03
Speaker 1: had like we were just doing local TV interviewing them
1:29:06
Speaker 1: and having a performance literally in the middle of San
1:29:09
Speaker 1: Francisco on the sidewalk the psychonic Like, let's pause for
1:29:12
Speaker 1: a second. Ryan Seacrest in Matt Box on the sidewalk
1:29:15
Speaker 1: in San Francisco seven for okay, something like that A
1:29:22
Speaker 1: long time ago. But that's yes, yes, old, thank you
1:29:28
Speaker 1: very much. I'm just accepted. I'm just keep saying it
1:29:31
Speaker 1: because I'm um. I just have to be prepared for
1:29:33
Speaker 1: the next three lines. So what country music? Yeah? What
1:29:36
Speaker 1: country music are you loving right now? Oh? My goodness,
1:29:39
Speaker 1: I I love angered Andrews Um she has the song
1:29:45
Speaker 1: lady Like and She's fantastic. And Kaylee Hammock performed last night.
1:29:50
Speaker 1: She is on Universal, She's She's unbelievable, angers on Warner Brothers. Um,
1:29:55
Speaker 1: everybody from like there's no one label, it's everyone. It's
1:29:58
Speaker 1: you know, like a kind of a universal experience of
1:30:00
Speaker 1: music with um with all the different labels. Hardy I
1:30:03
Speaker 1: heard for the first time today. He wrote the number
1:30:07
Speaker 1: one song that Blake Shelton has right now, God's Country.
1:30:09
Speaker 1: He just performed at in the Round. Um, Morgan Evans
1:30:13
Speaker 1: is so. Morgan was the one that was on The
1:30:15
Speaker 1: Bachelor's amazing And Cody Johnson is my husband's favorite and
1:30:19
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see him. Um tonight, I mean really,
1:30:22
Speaker 1: um Landco is lovely here and a little so Yes.
1:30:29
Speaker 1: So now everyone knows what we're doing in Napa. Yeah.
1:30:32
Speaker 1: Two questions for you, and they're kind of back to back.
1:30:34
Speaker 1: One is why NAPA In the second then is why
1:30:39
Speaker 1: would an artist like Brad Paisley, who is a household
1:30:43
Speaker 1: name want to do this event, Like what, I know
1:30:46
Speaker 1: it's for publicity, and I know it's really good for
1:30:48
Speaker 1: the artist, But why is it good for the artist
1:30:50
Speaker 1: if only five people could to come and it's on CMT,
1:30:53
Speaker 1: explain really how it promotes them. So as far as
1:30:57
Speaker 1: artists are concern, that's a very good question. As far
1:30:59
Speaker 1: as a sharkncerned like a Brad Paisley, like for example,
1:31:02
Speaker 1: last year Carrie Underwood, UM started the event like my
1:31:06
Speaker 1: first event in Carrie Underwood was my headlining artist. And
1:31:09
Speaker 1: it works. Um, everything we do is not exactly a
1:31:13
Speaker 1: cookie cutter any like, not even close show cookie cutter experience.
1:31:16
Speaker 1: Meaning the festivals during the week it's on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
1:31:20
Speaker 1: you know, And so because artists tour in country on
1:31:23
Speaker 1: the weekends and so they'll never get you know, touring
1:31:25
Speaker 1: is big for them. And so with Brad, it worked
1:31:27
Speaker 1: with his schedule and the kids and his wife, and
1:31:30
Speaker 1: he has new music coming out and the label really
1:31:33
Speaker 1: wanted him to do something more intimate, UM in an
1:31:36
Speaker 1: acoustic setting, UM in a winery with a winery backdrop,
1:31:39
Speaker 1: and so it just really worked the same way I
1:31:41
Speaker 1: got all y'all here nap and then Napa Valley. It's
1:31:47
Speaker 1: Napa Valley. Um. You always have to think about the
1:31:50
Speaker 1: way it sounds on the radio as a promotion. Come
1:31:52
Speaker 1: to Napa Valley, intimate experience of music, food and wine
1:31:56
Speaker 1: in the heart of the legendary wine country. So why
1:31:59
Speaker 1: do you guys right when it's advertised, when it's promoted,
1:32:02
Speaker 1: why do you guys keep it intimate and exclusive? What's
1:32:04
Speaker 1: the benefit for you? The benefit is everything in today's
1:32:08
Speaker 1: society can be bought, and you can't. I just wanted
1:32:11
Speaker 1: to create something that is so special that no matter
1:32:15
Speaker 1: you can be standing next to the CEO of a
1:32:17
Speaker 1: massive billion dollar company, or you can be the winner
1:32:20
Speaker 1: from El Paso and I I program to everyone equally
1:32:25
Speaker 1: so everyone can have the same experience and that takeaway
1:32:28
Speaker 1: is just really exciting. And you're you're never going to
1:32:31
Speaker 1: see an artist perform in this setting again. Best and
1:32:33
Speaker 1: nothing repeats, It's always different. What's the best way for
1:32:36
Speaker 1: people listening to learn more? How do they go to
1:32:38
Speaker 1: your website? They can as far as socials um, you know,
1:32:42
Speaker 1: live in the Vineyard on socials um and then also
1:32:45
Speaker 1: live in the Vineyard dot com Live in the Viney
1:32:47
Speaker 1: gust Country dot com. And then I also there's also
1:32:49
Speaker 1: a culinary festival in our portfolio that's Yantville Live, which
1:32:53
Speaker 1: you can buy a ticket for. UM and it's a
1:32:56
Speaker 1: very it's a culinary yaunt. Oh but if maybe there's
1:33:05
Speaker 1: a very exclusive Yantville is in the heart of Napa
1:33:10
Speaker 1: Valley and so that is it's the culinary mecca of
1:33:14
Speaker 1: Napa Valley where it's laundry, there's all these really famous
1:33:17
Speaker 1: Russians from around here. Um, and so Y'auntville Live is
1:33:23
Speaker 1: basically a publicly ticketed, models very high end ticket. But
1:33:26
Speaker 1: it's it's all about master classes and um an immersion
1:33:31
Speaker 1: within the Amanda Stanton's here. You and your sister need
1:33:33
Speaker 1: to come to that. I just learned Amanda stands sister
1:33:36
Speaker 1: is a chef. I learned that like eight minutes ago.
1:33:38
Speaker 1: I know. So, my sister runs a food Instagram accounts,
1:33:41
Speaker 1: so she posts all her recipes on there. She's amazing.
1:33:44
Speaker 1: Yeah I'm not a good cook, but she is. So
1:33:47
Speaker 1: I'm like the taste tester. Yeah that's a good job.
1:33:50
Speaker 1: In razzo. Yes, a side note, Amanda's hair looks like
1:33:53
Speaker 1: Princess Jasmine right now. And I'm super jealous, and I
1:33:55
Speaker 1: just want to stare well, we will let Bobby get
1:34:01
Speaker 1: back to planning your concerts and we'll talk to Scotty
1:34:04
Speaker 1: McCreery and Morgan Evans in just a minute. I just
1:34:06
Speaker 1: can't believe. Thank you so much for being here. You
1:34:10
Speaker 1: might be coming back in November constantly, like every time.
1:34:14

1:34:37
Speaker 1: to interview an American idol right now. One of the checklists,
1:34:42
Speaker 1: one of the things on my bucket list is about
1:34:44
Speaker 1: to be checked off. So it's pretty exciting. Let's go.
1:34:47
Speaker 1: Thank you. As mentioned one of Bachelor Nation's favorite. UM.
1:35:02
Speaker 1: We've We've had a lot of artists over the years
1:35:04
Speaker 1: the Bachelor franchise and UH and Morgan Evans definitely stood out. Morgan,
1:35:08
Speaker 1: thank you for coming on the podcast. Thanks man to
1:35:10
Speaker 1: talk to you. Now. Tell everybody what season you're on
1:35:12
Speaker 1: and what date you performed on UM it was last
1:35:15
Speaker 1: year and uh, I was gonna it was the fellow
1:35:22
Speaker 1: with the long curly hair. Oh, Leo, That's right. It
1:35:24
Speaker 1: was Becca and Leo and it was the end of
1:35:27
Speaker 1: a date and his like the After to Dates prize
1:35:29
Speaker 1: was come to the theater and I was playing there
1:35:32
Speaker 1: and it was it was, it was. I really enjoyed
1:35:34
Speaker 1: the experience of doing it, because you always wonder when
1:35:36
Speaker 1: you watched the show, like how real is that moment?
1:35:39
Speaker 1: How many times they shoot that? And we shot it
1:35:41
Speaker 1: once and all the reactions were real. And I mean
1:35:44
Speaker 1: dancing on a podium and making out in the middle
1:35:46
Speaker 1: of the crowd maybe the most natural thing, but it was.
1:35:49
Speaker 1: It was amazing to plays I'll kiss somebody and then
1:35:51
Speaker 1: watch that will happen with school. I think a lot
1:35:53
Speaker 1: of people watch those dates and they're like, this must
1:35:56
Speaker 1: be so awkward to be the Bachelor and her date
1:35:59
Speaker 1: with everybody watching this. But did you feel it was
1:36:02
Speaker 1: actually more normal than you would think? No, it definitely
1:36:05
Speaker 1: wasn't normal at all. I actually I kind of felt
1:36:08
Speaker 1: for them a little bit because that I mean, they
1:36:09
Speaker 1: were having a moment or whatever, they're making out on
1:36:11
Speaker 1: this podium, but then people up on the podium like
1:36:14
Speaker 1: pushing against them taking a picture whilst making Yes, it
1:36:21
Speaker 1: was it was a thing to behold. The interesting part
1:36:23
Speaker 1: is so when you're an artist and you're playing on
1:36:25
Speaker 1: the Batchel, you're there a few hours beforehand with like,
1:36:27
Speaker 1: oh yeah, a full crowd in front of you. Because
1:36:30
Speaker 1: when I was a Batchel, I remember I had I
1:36:32
Speaker 1: don't know if you know of Amos lee Um, but
1:36:36
Speaker 1: he was my favorite growing up and so he came
1:36:38
Speaker 1: in and played on my season the show, which Amos
1:36:40
Speaker 1: is definitely like the opposite type of person that would
1:36:42
Speaker 1: you would see on the Bachelor's show, right, Like you
1:36:44
Speaker 1: would never think Amos would would do this. And he
1:36:47
Speaker 1: was telling me about like what had happened before I
1:36:49
Speaker 1: had gotten there, and he was there for hours with
1:36:50
Speaker 1: a full crowd, and he's like he didn't know if
1:36:52
Speaker 1: to entertain them to like seeing, so he ends up
1:36:54
Speaker 1: kind of putting on this private concert for a hundred people.
1:36:58
Speaker 1: They're hanging out waiting for us to show up from
1:36:59
Speaker 1: our date to kiss in front of him. I mean,
1:37:03
Speaker 1: I will say, as this similar experience to that, it
1:37:06
Speaker 1: was a bigger place, so it was like a Propa.
1:37:07
Speaker 1: There was a thousand people there and holy cow, and
1:37:10
Speaker 1: I felt exactly the same way I almost did. I
1:37:12
Speaker 1: was like, they're here all play and so yeah, we
1:37:17
Speaker 1: played a show. Oh that's awesome. Alright. So here on
1:37:20
Speaker 1: the almost in his podcast, you know, we talked predominantly
1:37:22
Speaker 1: about the Bachelor, talk about a lot of love. You're
1:37:25
Speaker 1: married to Kelsey Ballerini. You happened since December, hasn't ever seen. Yeah,
1:37:30
Speaker 1: you got good on the facts that. Um, can you
1:37:32
Speaker 1: tell us how you propose? Was like bachelor? Was a bachelor? Like? Um?
1:37:38
Speaker 1: Probably not, but I will say it was a conscious decision.
1:37:42
Speaker 1: I feel like it was a conscious no to not
1:37:45
Speaker 1: be like that. I mean, we listen, yeah, we list
1:37:47
Speaker 1: so much about publicly, you know, when we talked about
1:37:50
Speaker 1: in interviews all the time, and on the internet people
1:37:53
Speaker 1: you know, you post photos or whatever, and so it
1:37:54
Speaker 1: was a cool moment. They just keep ours And it
1:37:57
Speaker 1: was Christmas morning and she was making pancakes and it
1:38:00
Speaker 1: was just us in the house, and it seemed like
1:38:02
Speaker 1: the perfect time. So you hadn't planned the time that
1:38:05
Speaker 1: you were going to do it. You just we're gonna
1:38:07
Speaker 1: wait that perfect okay, but we're gonna wait till you
1:38:10
Speaker 1: felt it was the perfect time, or did you plan
1:38:12
Speaker 1: Christmas morning. Christmas morning with the plan for sure. Yeah, yeah,
1:38:14
Speaker 1: I knew we would actually be at home together that day,
1:38:17
Speaker 1: which is a rare occurrence. Yeah, that's great. I've always
1:38:21
Speaker 1: been interested. How do you manage because both of your
1:38:23
Speaker 1: careers have skyrocketed, you're both crushing it, and as that
1:38:27
Speaker 1: happens in parallel, obviously there's a ton of time apart,
1:38:30
Speaker 1: and like your your lives are out there all the time,
1:38:32
Speaker 1: everybody's talking about you. We can google you and find
1:38:34
Speaker 1: out when you got married and probably how you proposed
1:38:36
Speaker 1: before this podcast if we wanted to, how do you
1:38:39
Speaker 1: keep it like real and just like when you go
1:38:42
Speaker 1: back to be together like just a real, like natural relationship. Now,
1:38:47
Speaker 1: I feel like there's a couple of things you need
1:38:50
Speaker 1: to do. One of them is to make sure you
1:38:51
Speaker 1: see each other. That's the probably the hottest pot, which
1:38:54
Speaker 1: we just you have to be really proactive about it.
1:38:56
Speaker 1: Sit down and look ahead in the calendar and and
1:38:59
Speaker 1: just block out chunks of time. And thankfully all the
1:39:01
Speaker 1: people we work with know that that's a real priority
1:39:03
Speaker 1: for us. So um, like just last week we had
1:39:06
Speaker 1: our first block for the year, and we just disappeared
1:39:08
Speaker 1: for three days and it was awesome. And I feel
1:39:10
Speaker 1: like anytime we both get together, it becomes real again.
1:39:13
Speaker 1: You know, if you're not talking about each other, you
1:39:16
Speaker 1: just actually get to talk to each other. And somehow
1:39:18
Speaker 1: I feel like the fact we both do this gives
1:39:20
Speaker 1: each other a really good understanding of what we're both
1:39:23
Speaker 1: going through, so there's no we don't have to explain
1:39:25
Speaker 1: that to each other either, So it's kind of a
1:39:27
Speaker 1: real connection there as well. Are you still in the
1:39:29
Speaker 1: honeymoon phase since you do only see each other sporadically? Yeah,
1:39:33
Speaker 1: I guess so mathematically, so yeah, it's mathematically the amount
1:39:37
Speaker 1: of days you've had together. Well, yeah, I mean my
1:39:39
Speaker 1: girlfriend's parents they spend every week apart. He travels and
1:39:42
Speaker 1: then she comes back on the weekends. And they've actually
1:39:44
Speaker 1: told me, over the thirty years of marriage, it's actually
1:39:47
Speaker 1: been a blessing to them because there's this excitement back
1:39:49
Speaker 1: right where my parents there we live in a small town, Indiana,
1:39:52
Speaker 1: there together all the time. Every day. My dad goes
1:39:55
Speaker 1: to my mom's work and says on the couch and
1:39:56
Speaker 1: watch sports. Is why she finishes up Like they're together
1:39:59
Speaker 1: all the time, and I don't feel like there's as
1:40:00
Speaker 1: much of like a blissful excitement maybe when they see
1:40:03
Speaker 1: each other for the first time in three hours her parents,
1:40:07
Speaker 1: he's commuted for thirty years, close to it. Yeah, I
1:40:11
Speaker 1: don't know if that's a bad thing. I think that's
1:40:12
Speaker 1: just a different dynamic. You might be right. I mean,
1:40:15
Speaker 1: at the same time, we do get really jealous of
1:40:17
Speaker 1: some of our other country music friends that like they'll
1:40:20
Speaker 1: go and their wife or their husband will just go
1:40:22
Speaker 1: on the road with them every weekend, which they get
1:40:25
Speaker 1: to do it all together, which would be really cool
1:40:27
Speaker 1: to do as well. But well, I mean eventually, I
1:40:30
Speaker 1: guess maybe I will say this summer, she has a
1:40:32
Speaker 1: lot of time off to to make a new record,
1:40:35
Speaker 1: which which means that on the weekends I might be
1:40:37
Speaker 1: able to steal er out and yeah, bring on the
1:40:39
Speaker 1: road with me. What's your ultimate date together? Like, what's
1:40:42
Speaker 1: your favorite thing to do? Her ultimate days? Both of them, Um,
1:40:47
Speaker 1: it would be something by the ocean, for sure. I
1:40:49
Speaker 1: grew up near the ocean in Newcastle, Australia, so living
1:40:52
Speaker 1: in Nashville, that's one of the things that I missed
1:40:54
Speaker 1: the most. And we were just down in Mexico a
1:40:56
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, actually, and that was kind of
1:40:58
Speaker 1: the perfect experience of good food. That is really the
1:41:03
Speaker 1: best day. I just had my best pizza pizza and Nashville,
1:41:06
Speaker 1: my girlfriend listen, Nashville had best pizza. Ye city House.
1:41:11
Speaker 1: Have you ever been to City House in Nashville? Yeah?
1:41:13
Speaker 1: I love? Have you ever been to Jack Browns in Nashville?
1:41:17
Speaker 1: Jack Brown's burger joint? You have to go. I'm going
1:41:21
Speaker 1: tomorrow to Actually almost cried that I when I found
1:41:25
Speaker 1: out that, like, I could have Jack Brown's this this weekend.
1:41:28
Speaker 1: I've never even heard of Jack Brown. I know. It's
1:41:30
Speaker 1: a little far out. It's like not on the Broadway air. Okay,
1:41:34
Speaker 1: just just google it. Where are you from? Are you
1:41:35
Speaker 1: from Denver as well? No, I'm well I live in
1:41:37
Speaker 1: l A. I'm from northern Virginia and you're giving me
1:41:40
Speaker 1: food tastes. Well, it's because this burger chain originated in
1:41:45
Speaker 1: my college town and then they expanded throughout like that
1:41:49
Speaker 1: central that like mid Atlantic area. All right, yeah it
1:41:54
Speaker 1: out anyway, My last question for you, do you have
1:41:56
Speaker 1: any more questions? I do have one last one. I'll
1:41:58
Speaker 1: finish up with you. Okay, you are playing a grand
1:42:00
Speaker 1: old operay on the seventeen. That is gigantic. It's that place.
1:42:04
Speaker 1: It's the hume of country music, and it's such I mean,
1:42:07
Speaker 1: it's one of those things that makes country music different
1:42:10
Speaker 1: to every other genre. We have this kind of family
1:42:12
Speaker 1: and this kind of hume bise and yeah, it's gonna
1:42:14
Speaker 1: be great. So my last question, And I've always wanted
1:42:17
Speaker 1: to ask an artist this and I never have and
1:42:19
Speaker 1: every time I get really angry with myself when I
1:42:21
Speaker 1: forget okay. Um, last night we were able to participate
1:42:25
Speaker 1: in an incredible show here where it was just acoustic
1:42:28
Speaker 1: and there was like a people and it was super intimate,
1:42:31
Speaker 1: and every single artist that got up on stage was
1:42:33
Speaker 1: impressive in my mind because it felt like their first
1:42:35
Speaker 1: time I ever playing the song. It felt like they
1:42:38
Speaker 1: were excited to play it. And and I think anybody's
1:42:40
Speaker 1: a fans loves to hear the music. And I have
1:42:42
Speaker 1: a point here. I have the questions at the end,
1:42:44
Speaker 1: but I gotta lead up to it. Um. But uh,
1:42:48
Speaker 1: we would be naive to think that every time you're
1:42:50
Speaker 1: playing these songs all the time, you're in front of
1:42:51
Speaker 1: people every night and you're engaging a crowd, how do
1:42:55
Speaker 1: you keep yourself staying authentic getting excited and prepping for
1:42:59
Speaker 1: every show to make sure that the audience has the
1:43:01
Speaker 1: best time, and also that you're enjoying yourself, so you
1:43:04
Speaker 1: don't feel like a robot, right right? I I don't.
1:43:08
Speaker 1: I don't know that. I. I mean, you gotta understand
1:43:11
Speaker 1: to like, to get to somewhere to play, so much
1:43:14
Speaker 1: has to happen. You have to get on a plane
1:43:15
Speaker 1: or a bus and travel all night and and that
1:43:18
Speaker 1: moment you're on stage that that's the only reason you
1:43:21
Speaker 1: do it. So I don't know that. Consciously, I have
1:43:23
Speaker 1: to get myself in that head space. I feel like
1:43:25
Speaker 1: that is the moment that I'm looking forward to all day.
1:43:27
Speaker 1: So that's a genuine excitement that you see from everyone
1:43:29
Speaker 1: on stage, like that's the reason they here to do that.
1:43:32
Speaker 1: So that's probably the answer to your question. There's a
1:43:34
Speaker 1: lot of stuff we don't necessarily enjoy doing to get
1:43:36
Speaker 1: to that moment. So yeah, it's easy to appreciate that.
1:43:40
Speaker 1: Awesome man cool Well Hey Morgant, Evans considers continues to
1:43:44
Speaker 1: be a stud. Uh, thanks for coming on, man, Thanks

Speaker 1: an Entourage life. You get to just live this awesome
1:46:08
Speaker 1: life with their friends. You may not be the one
1:46:10
Speaker 1: the spotlight, but you're still getting perks. We all have
1:46:13
Speaker 1: a pretty good time. There's there's eight of us and
1:46:15
Speaker 1: we we we traveled in the pack. Yeah. Hey, to
1:46:18
Speaker 1: get a start here, we gotta talk music, we gotta
1:46:20
Speaker 1: talk love. Um, that's what this podcast about. But first
1:46:23
Speaker 1: we were sitting here talking, we had to google it.
1:46:26
Speaker 1: You're twenty five years old. This is mind boggling to me.
1:46:28
Speaker 1: I was like, he was at least eighteen. When you
1:46:30
Speaker 1: want Idol, you were you were the last season of
1:46:32
Speaker 1: Idol I ever watched you now, but like you were
1:46:37
Speaker 1: the last of the Heyday. It was a fun season.
1:46:40
Speaker 1: I felt like everybody in season ten, like Jago was
1:46:43
Speaker 1: great at gospel and James was killing it in rock
1:46:45
Speaker 1: and roll, and like everybody had their thing and it
1:46:48
Speaker 1: was very unique season. I thought, really awesome. Yeah, we
1:46:51
Speaker 1: have this deal, right, we come from this crazy reality
1:46:54
Speaker 1: show called The Bachelor we watch Oh my goodness, Well
1:46:59
Speaker 1: this is too cool because before there was the Bachelor
1:47:02
Speaker 1: of my life, there was American Idol. Like the two
1:47:04
Speaker 1: chapters of my TV life. There you go. So if
1:47:07
Speaker 1: you don't know Ash, she's a she's a big girl.
1:47:11
Speaker 1: Makes your wonderful. But so we come from this show.
1:47:14
Speaker 1: We always talk about like the we have a couple
1:47:16
Speaker 1: of other Bachelor contestants a man to stand Andasia behind you,
1:47:18
Speaker 1: and we always talk to them about this, uh, this
1:47:21
Speaker 1: idea that you go from just being a normal person
1:47:24
Speaker 1: to be on a show and then you putt put
1:47:26
Speaker 1: in the spotlight. Now you have a talent. So I'm
1:47:27
Speaker 1: not trying to compare the two of our world. But
1:47:29
Speaker 1: at sixteen years old, you win Idle and it launches
1:47:33
Speaker 1: you into this whole new like planet out of nowhere.
1:47:37
Speaker 1: How do you handle like, can you help us a
1:47:39
Speaker 1: little bit relate with where your mind went to, what
1:47:41
Speaker 1: that was like for you and kind of looking back now,
1:47:44
Speaker 1: does it feel like a different world? Do you feel
1:47:45
Speaker 1: like you're in a different world? It's definitely, I would say,
1:47:48
Speaker 1: when you're in the spot like that like that, it's
1:47:50
Speaker 1: it's not reality. I mean, there's so much more to
1:47:52
Speaker 1: life than than cameras and lights and all the craziness.
1:47:55
Speaker 1: But it took a lot of getting used to that.
1:47:57
Speaker 1: The first time somebody called my name and it wasn't
1:48:00
Speaker 1: a friend or a family member. I was like, who
1:48:02
Speaker 1: are you and how do you know? But uh, you know,
1:48:05
Speaker 1: it's one of those things that I'm a very laid
1:48:07
Speaker 1: back guy, just go with the flow and just take
1:48:09
Speaker 1: things day by day. And but it was very odd
1:48:13
Speaker 1: at the start, especially that you know, everybody loves going
1:48:16
Speaker 1: through their awkward teenager years on national television. Right, you
1:48:18
Speaker 1: still looked very cute doing it. You didn't look stuff.
1:48:21
Speaker 1: I can't go back and look at I'm like, oh
1:48:23
Speaker 1: my god. Alright, So the Bachelor, we get the number
1:48:27
Speaker 1: one question I think we get as Bachelor contestants is
1:48:30
Speaker 1: how real is the show? Is it scripted? Like? Is
1:48:32
Speaker 1: it all fake? And you guys are actors. When I
1:48:34
Speaker 1: look at an American Idol, I think, oh, it's just legitimate, right,
1:48:37
Speaker 1: just a singing contest. But then when I hear from
1:48:40
Speaker 1: American Idol contestants, they make it seem like it's much
1:48:43
Speaker 1: more manipulated and much more reality show than people think.
1:48:46
Speaker 1: Can you give us a little bit of insight on
1:48:48
Speaker 1: all this? Yeah, they definitely want to make it very reality.
1:48:51
Speaker 1: I mean when it comes down on the gritty, like
1:48:53
Speaker 1: you go on stage, you sing, your song and that's that.
1:48:56
Speaker 1: But behind the scenes of like producers like, hey, why
1:48:58
Speaker 1: don't y'all go do this? Well, I mean they were
1:49:00
Speaker 1: cameras phoning. They would go to the bathroom with it
1:49:02
Speaker 1: if they could. We ever barely saw that footage. Oh
1:49:05
Speaker 1: I know, like I feel like they tried to do
1:49:07
Speaker 1: because they put us in a mansion at first, which
1:49:09
Speaker 1: sounded amazing until we got in there. It's just like
1:49:12
Speaker 1: twenty people in like two rooms and yeah, yeah, it's crazy.
1:49:18
Speaker 1: Like they just want the drama, They just want people
1:49:20
Speaker 1: to live with each other like that. I always thought
1:49:22
Speaker 1: American Idols should have a show, like a spin off
1:49:24
Speaker 1: show where an hour of the week was dedicated to
1:49:28
Speaker 1: just watching the contestants, like the top ten or twelve
1:49:30
Speaker 1: interact in the mansion together. But then I thought that
1:49:33
Speaker 1: perhaps it would sway the vote because I think it
1:49:35
Speaker 1: would be would be voting based on personality and not
1:49:38
Speaker 1: on talent. Oh yeah, they're They're definitely a camera on
1:49:42
Speaker 1: moment to camera off moments for sure. So I gotta
1:49:45
Speaker 1: tell you a little story here Easton over here, who
1:49:47
Speaker 1: is one of our producers on the show. He also
1:49:49
Speaker 1: is a producer with Ryan Seacrest and the Ryan Seacrest Show.
1:49:52
Speaker 1: So he gets massive people in an at the studio
1:49:54
Speaker 1: all time, right, I mean every day people are coming
1:49:57
Speaker 1: in now. Um And we were driving the car here
1:50:00
Speaker 1: and we got the confirmation that you're gonna come on
1:50:02
Speaker 1: the podcast, and Eastern freaks out, I mean gets so
1:50:06
Speaker 1: pump to start playing your music in the car, all
1:50:08
Speaker 1: five of us driving from Oakland to Napa, just absolutely doing.
1:50:12
Speaker 1: So my point of this is, you know, we we
1:50:14
Speaker 1: can laugh and talk about our past on both reality shows,
1:50:17
Speaker 1: but you have done. You've made this a career and
1:50:19
Speaker 1: been successful, and so you know, yes, American Idol is
1:50:23
Speaker 1: is a is a part of your story, but it
1:50:25
Speaker 1: was not the end. It was not the last chapter.
1:50:27
Speaker 1: You've done far greater things. How have you done? I mean,
1:50:31
Speaker 1: obviously because you're talented, but also how have you navigated
1:50:35
Speaker 1: to make that happen and kind of separate yourself into
1:50:37
Speaker 1: a whole different paradigm you have. There's so many people
1:50:41
Speaker 1: that just know Scottie and they have no idea that
1:50:43
Speaker 1: you came from idol, and that I think is the
1:50:45
Speaker 1: ultimate compliment for American Idle contestants. I think it's you.
1:50:48
Speaker 1: Kelly Clarkson, Uh, Daughtry, Carrie Underwood. Those are like the
1:50:52
Speaker 1: four that I think of when I think like have
1:50:55
Speaker 1: separated there not today, because I don't know if that's
1:51:00
Speaker 1: so you can appreciate it. Yeah, I think the the
1:51:03
Speaker 1: goal in music is just to get songs out there
1:51:05
Speaker 1: to connect with people. So it took me a while.
1:51:08
Speaker 1: In my first few years, I didn't write any songs,
1:51:10
Speaker 1: and then my next album I wrote a couple. But
1:51:12
Speaker 1: this last record, I mean, we're every song on the
1:51:15
Speaker 1: record and just from the heart, and I feel like
1:51:16
Speaker 1: folks relate to that. They see that and they see
1:51:18
Speaker 1: themselves in the song. Like man, that song reminded me
1:51:20
Speaker 1: of the time about my boys. That song reminded me
1:51:22
Speaker 1: of me and my wife's story. So, um, I think
1:51:25
Speaker 1: it's just about being relatable, getting music out there, and
1:51:27
Speaker 1: just being real at the end of the day. Yeah,
1:51:29
Speaker 1: that's amazing. Yeah, you know you have a speaking of songs,
1:51:32
Speaker 1: you have a new song out, a new single in between. Uh,
1:51:36
Speaker 1: so as you think about the idea of being relatable, Sure,
1:51:39
Speaker 1: what made this song relatable in your eyes to the
1:51:42
Speaker 1: general public. Yeah, I think the whole song, I mean,
1:51:45
Speaker 1: in my opinion, we wrote the song just kind of
1:51:47
Speaker 1: talking about my life and where I'm at. And a
1:51:49
Speaker 1: lot of times on TV or wherever you only see
1:51:51
Speaker 1: the extreme crazy people on one side or the other,
1:51:54
Speaker 1: it's like most of us outs they are just kind
1:51:56
Speaker 1: of doing our own thing, just chilling, just right down
1:51:59
Speaker 1: the middle. And one of my favorite lines in the
1:52:00
Speaker 1: song is the hook. It goes, I ain't all Holy
1:52:02
Speaker 1: Water and I and all Jim Beam. I'm somewhere in
1:52:04
Speaker 1: between you. I feel like that's most of us. You know.
1:52:07
Speaker 1: I can I can calm down and have my Jesus time,
1:52:10
Speaker 1: but I can also go out and have have a
1:52:12
Speaker 1: good time as well. So, yeah, how old were you
1:52:14
Speaker 1: when you met your wife? Five? Yeah? Okay, that's what
1:52:18
Speaker 1: I thought. I was like, yeah, yeah, okay. So this
1:52:20
Speaker 1: is why I asked because I remember you being on
1:52:22
Speaker 1: idol and you said that you had a girlfriend, and
1:52:25
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, as being like a fan girls
1:52:28
Speaker 1: like oh no, he should have never said he had
1:52:30
Speaker 1: a girlfriend because now all these fan girls are gonna
1:52:33
Speaker 1: be like, oh no, I don't have a chance anymore.
1:52:36
Speaker 1: But then you end up marrying her. Yeah, how has
1:52:40
Speaker 1: she dealt with you? Going from somebody that she knew
1:52:42
Speaker 1: at five years old? Scotty the Winner of America Adolt
1:52:45
Speaker 1: to Scotty the Country music Sensation. Yeah, you know. I
1:52:49
Speaker 1: mean she's my best friend, number one. That's that's first
1:52:51
Speaker 1: and foremost. We just we know all about each other.
1:52:54
Speaker 1: We're just we're there for each other. So there's that.
1:52:57
Speaker 1: She's also I would say, my biggest fan when she's
1:52:59
Speaker 1: always written for me and helping me out. But at
1:53:01
Speaker 1: the same time it's as cool as it is, it's
1:53:04
Speaker 1: also like, well, that's just Scotty, Like that's just the
1:53:06
Speaker 1: kid I knew back in the day and it's the
1:53:07
Speaker 1: same guy. So she's Yeah, she she's incredible for sure.
1:53:12
Speaker 1: I got lucky with her. How do you meet at five?
