  Speaker 1: we just watched the episode East Coast feed. Um, we're
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: lucky like that over here on the West Coast. It's
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: it's not as much fun watching on West Coast time
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: because you like, watch all the tweets and you hear
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: about it and then you have to you know, I
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: don't know how you feel really good, point athlete. A
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: lot of people won't look at the on the West Coast,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: won't look at the internet because people start writing about it.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Do you like the spoilers like as they're going before
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: you watch it? Yeah, I mean I can't deal with
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: finales when people see that we post like congratulations so
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: and so on Instagram and they're like, you spoiled it.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I used to like you and then you made this
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: post and now I hate you and I can't believe
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: you ruined my life like this. I'm like, oh my god,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: you guys, come on, then get off the computer. If
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: it's going to ruin your life. Hey, actually I got
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: it here. I mean, you are the expert, let's jump
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: into it. Uh, we did just watch our first episode.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: First episodes, personally, to me, are the f flute worst.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: They're long, and they're boring. Thank you. Uh, They're not
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: my favorite, but you can typically get a pretty good
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: sense of how this season will, at least initially play out.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Can we just get your your professional breakdown from the
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Bachelor expert herself on what you thought in the first
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: episode of our season. Yes, I gave you a little
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: preview before by saying that I don't think we should
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: call it January because I don't know if um if
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: A is gonna be able to lead this this season.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I think that it's going to be the girls. I know.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: I feel like he came across a little cold, a
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: little robotic in the fact that like there was some
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: things that he said that just sounded like he was
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: reading lines and being a really bad actor. Um, I'm
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: sure he's a super nice guy. Have not met him.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I don't want to say anything about his character. I'm
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: just saying, like, as a bachelor, I think that he's
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: obvious about being very interested in some he's already showing
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: disinterous in others. I don't know, Ben say, Here's what
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: I can say. I learned a little behind the scenes
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: in that. And Ben can probably talk about this too.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Is that, from what I heard about Ari, he is
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: not in it to become famous or you know, an
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Instagram of course media mogul. But he is taking it
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: super serious to find a wife. And I wonder if
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: that's why he's coming across a little bit cold, because
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: he's being so serious about it. Like do I like her?
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Do I like her? What are my feelings for her?
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know. That could be true. And I want
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: to say that my friend Naz, a former producer on
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: the show and who now does this thing on YouTube
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: called will You Accept This Ride where you can get
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: to know a little bit more about the contestants behind
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: the scenes. Um. She met him a couple of weeks ago,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: and she said he's just lovely and has absolutely no
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: idea how to deal with social media, and he's just
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: he's just like a regular guy. And she said that
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: his intentions seems super true. Yeah. I've met him a
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: lot of times, back in the first round when he
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: was on and he is a nice guy, like he
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: really is. I think it'll be interesting. Okay, this will
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: be interesting, and let's say it now and then we'll
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: analyze it in a few months, because we all know
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: right now he's saying, I'm not in this to be famous.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I'm doing this to find a wife. I have all
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: the right reasons. Blah blah blah. I wonder what's going
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: to happen when suddenly NASCAR is wanting him to raise
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: the flag or whatever they do in NASCAR, or do
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like, when he starts getting
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: all these offers, is he going to fall for it?
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Does that make sense? I'm asking it? Yeah. I wonder
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: if he'll change his mind and be like, how could
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I say no, I think he's going to do it.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I think he'll do all that and I don't. But
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: but that's fine, because I think that what it is
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: is about your intention going into it. Oh, that's a
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: good point. I think that's good point. Yeah, so he
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: can do whatever offers come his way afterwards, Ben, what
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: did you think of Ari? You know, I think it
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: has to do. I haven't heard nothing negative at all
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: about are and you typically will at this point in
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: the in the Bachelor is whoever the Bachelor, Bachelor, whoever
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: has chosen they're there. Their skeletons in the closet will
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: come out before the first episode typically, And you really
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: haven't heard a lot about our other than you know,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: some past relationships, which what you don't expect the guy
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: to date, like you know, he hasn't in a committed relationship,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: so he chose to do the Bachelor. I think Amy
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: is spot on. I think from what Amy has told me,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: what I've heard, he is taking this so serious and
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that. I think that is the best way
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: to do it. I was given advice from some former
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: bachelors when I was a bachelor to just have fun
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: and they get funny and laugh, and it never felt
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: appropriate to me to handle it that way. Um. But
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: the thing you struggle with when you take it so serious,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: it is hard to have fun. And if every moment
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: is intense from the first night to last because it's
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: an emotional roller coaster, So he did come off cold.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: He came off very dry. I thought his responses to
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the women were just kind of like he just felt
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: like he was just trying to get through Night one.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Excited to see the rest of the episodes. Say, um, okay,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: let's go into like act two, Sean and Katherine come
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: back again, and I just pray that Ari we'll find
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: someone and get married and the next year so that
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Sean and Katherine could have a break from the first
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: the first episode warm up, I mean the bachelor is
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: using and abusing. They are everywhere they I mean Sean
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: gave me advice. Um, I don't know if you gave
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Crystal toy. I mean, Sean has been around forever. Um,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: but you got to think about it, like they are
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: the only bachelor couple on the highlight. I mean they
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: have a kid now. Like but yes, actually I've I've
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: seen a lot of Sean and Katherine, and as as
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: great as I'm sure they are, it's time for them
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: to take a break. Right. My second point, and I'm
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: sorry if I go in like super chronological order, I
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: have the long list of things to talk about. I
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: took I'm just gonna sit here and listen. You just
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: start talking, and I think everybody out there just really
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: wants to hear your stop now, Ben. What I want
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: to do is like bring up points and then you
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: can talk. You can tell me you're your point of
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: view about them. Okay, So look, um first, uh, for somebody,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: somebody who was so entrenched in this franchise of a
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: podcast about it, have had it, have done it so
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: many times, love it, talk about it like it is
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: my actual job. The one thing that I cannot deal
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: with it's all the cliches. I can't hear anybody say
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: like I'm ready to fall, I'm ready to give it
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: my all. I want something like I want somebody to
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: say something real that's not like I'm ready to jump
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: and be caught in all that stuff, the packages, all
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: those packages and the cliches, being like, you know, I'm
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: ready for Ari to be the one. I want someone
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: to say something like, you know what, I'm really excited
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: to like experience this and if I like Ari, well
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: that will be awesome. Well, I mean it's it's kind
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: of actually, after this episode, I recognize that more than ever,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: thank you. Yes, there is a format to this show, right,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: even if it's not you know, produced or scripted, there's
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: you Typically, I feel that the contestants that come on
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: are usually saying the same thing. They're coming up with
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: the same little phrases, and then the episode kind of
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: plays out the same. At least, the episode one plays
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: out the same way every year. There's always you know,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: the first girl to grab him and everybody's mad at her. Uh,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: you know, people are gonna come in and say, goofy wines.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: For the entrances, there is a They do have a
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: format that worked for episode one, and I saw it
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: today more than ever, which is why I think that
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: episode one can usually be a bit boring. It's kind
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: of like the hump episode where I just like, all right,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: let's get this one over with, let's learn names, let's
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: get a general sense of them, and then let's move
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: the frick on because I can't. Yeah, it's just it's
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: just too um formulaic for me at this point. I
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: think you're I mean, as horrible as it was to
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: put two girls against each other at Night one, it
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: did give a little spice and flavor. Um, so I
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: think they just need to maybe come up with something
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: new with entrances and just not have them all come
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: out of the limo at the same time. I mean,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: for me, they tried to freak us out like they
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: did half the limo, and they made us feel like
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: there was only gonna be fifteen girls in the season,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: and then there was like a whole other load of
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: fifteen more. Oh there's something. They give it, some creative amy.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: I want to hear your thoughts. You've been around the franchise.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: It's a little bit of time because you're so young. Um,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: were you disappointed into ninth instances? I felt like more
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: than ever, this is just like I just find it same, same,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Like it's that first episode. To me, is always for
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: twenty seasons or however many it's been, is always the same.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Now here's what's interesting, because there's nothing I hate more
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: than the weird things they do. The math girl, the
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: girl that proposes the weird even the girl that pulled
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: up in the Mustang and the girl that pulled up
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: in the race car. Like that stuff makes me cringe,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: but yet I remember it. So I was having a
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: conversation with one of the producers because I thought that
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: it was so awkward watching them race those little cars.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: You know what, I remember when I were racing the
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: other thing. Although I want to get that Porsche, at
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: least I remember it. I think they have to do
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: it because it's the only way to differentiate any of
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: these people, because otherwise you really wouldn't remember. Like imagine
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: if they just walked up and they're like, Hi, I'm Laurence.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: There was like seven Lawrence. It for us more than
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: they even do it for the Bachelor. Well, one, it's
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: good entertainment for it to be corny and creative, but
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: also like we are like, oh, that's red car girl,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: that's a race car girl, that's weener girl. Well, i'll
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: tell you. I met the Mask Girl this weekend and
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: I so I met her at this store up here
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: in Tahoe, and I she had told somebody else she's
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: on this season of the Bachelor, and I had already
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: seen the episode, so I had no way of knowing
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: who she was. I literally was like, I don't know
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: who you were, and then she said I was the
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Mask Girl. So immediately I'm like, oh, now I totally
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: remember who she was. I remember how awkward and uncomfortable
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: I was when she came up in the mask and
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: then remember she has the like weird reveal of her face. Yeah,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: remember that, I was like and very mysterious. I was
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: really into it. Wait you were, Yeah, I've been thinking that, Yes,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: she's gonna be remembered. She's my sperious. And then all
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: of a sudden she reveals her face and I mean,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: you have no idea what are you gonna be looking at?
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: I mean I was That says a little bit about me,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: but I was into the match. Okay, So that's really funny, Ben,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: because I feel like you like that sense of humor.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: You would like a girl to show up and be
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: a little bit more quirky. I think I was like,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: I need someone who's just like a woman, and it's
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: going to give me a little mystery and it is
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: to be super mature, but I think like you have
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: more of like a lighthearted sense of five. Yeah, the
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: mask made me super uncomfortable because it's like and then
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: she told me also this funny thing that the mask
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: was putting lines on her face, you know how, like yeah,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: like wearing glasses or like whatever. So she didn't want
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: to keep the mask on too long. So first she
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: was just going to take the mask off when she
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: got inside, and then they were the producers did say no, no, no,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: you gotta because you're not going to know that you
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: were the mask girl. We have to show him you
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: removing the mask or whatever, which made total so told
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: me that was she glowing? Does she look look here?
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know about that, but this is what I
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: could say about her. I know that next week and
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: the week after she The best way to say is,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: I think she's going to have sort of a meltdown, Okay,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: so we can watch for that and then talk about it.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: All right. Well, and she is super nice, she's very
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: seems like she'd be really nice. A little we know
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: from her so far. Yeah, I met her in a
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: clothing store and then hung out with her one other time.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Wait did you oh, you like hung out with her?
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I was, you know, tall, so weird. You kind of
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: just go like, hey, but friends having this party. So
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: we just invited her to this party and then she
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: came and everyone liked her though we called her somehow,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: you still get involved in basgination even when you don't
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: mean to. I didn't even mean to, Like, I literally
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: distuffled into a clothing store. Yeah, okay, so I mean
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: we've already started to talk about individual women on the show.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: We talked a little bit about Aria. I want to
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: keep talking about Ari because uh, you know, this was
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: his his first night at the Batch. But actually, I'm
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: sure you have your notes here. Um, let's just start
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: from the introductions. What are your thoughts and like, who
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: are your top four favorite and who are the people
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: that kind of are sketchy out of it? Okay, um,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: let's start with the sketchy outers because they stand out
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: to me more. The online health coach Crystal with the
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: raspy voice that Ari says is calming, is just so horrid.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: It was terrible, just the skin crawling, not like the
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: sound of her voice, it's truly the way, like I
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: think she thinks she's sexy, Like I think she really
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: thinks she's sexy, and she's using her voice as a tool. Yeah,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: I just I don't know what it is. And this
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: is maybe one of my favorite parts about Night one
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: is there's always this moments that do make you cringe,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: and that was definitely one of them. Basically, I don't
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: get how somebody could sit in a limo or sit
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: in your hotel room before you you get introduced on
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: the show, and you come up with what you want
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: to do for your first impression, and you go, you
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna make him close
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: his eyes. I'm going to speak to him very softly
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: and tell him that this is his moment. Like what
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: at what level was that a good idea. She's definitely
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: trying to pose herself as the temptress of the season,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: and I think he's definitely going to fall for it,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: which is fine, it's fine to be like a sexy temptress,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: but um, I definitely think she's going to ruffle a
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: lot of feathers with the girls. She's kind of like
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: a britt figure to me, and I think we all
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: like britt Um In my season, I always liked Brett.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: I knew that there was like maybe I think like
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: that she was just always the most threatening, to be honest,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: like between her personality and being so bubbly and likable
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: and the and the look, I think we're all very
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: threatened by her. And I do feel like she's going
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: to be that to the women this year, and I
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: don't think she's gonna she doesn't seem to be the
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: kind of girl who's going to let that stop her
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: from pursuing her. But as a bachelor, I would say
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: that personality type in that in the in the show's
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: format is very appealing and intriguing because she's confident, she
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: seems to have a presence around her. She is calming
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: in the sense that she's so confident and that's nervous um,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: and so it is a little bit like calming because
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: she just she exudes kind of like this leadership quality
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: where at some level you're always going to know that
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: you know she's around. It's like, yet, why he could
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: be stuck into that and initially until what I believe
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: her true colors will start the show and maybe maybe
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: those true players are really great, But I don't know
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: what color she's she has inside. Um, she just won't
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: really get to know her because she'll kind of always
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: be mysterious to him. Right. Um, what do you guys
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: think of the shorthaired Becca? Okay, So Becca is another
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: one that I was going to talk about as somebody
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: who stands out. She seems like a guy's girl for sure. Um,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: I think she's really cool and fun to watch, super pretty.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: She just seems like she's kind of like going to
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: be like that whip smart, weedy girl who's gonna keep
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: him on his toes. And I like her for that,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: and uh, yeah, I don't know, I don't know if
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: she's gonna be. The good flag on her is that
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: she seemed like a bleep talker really yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: She seems to be like a little snarky, Like when
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: the girl pulled up in the race car, you know,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: she had the red car, and she's like, oh, is
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: that a race car? Huh? Like, you know, I know
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: she's probably thinking she's being funny and she is, but yeah,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: I can see her, like I can see her not
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: being the girl's favorite as well, but in all my
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: favorite right. She had one of the most uh memorable
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: moments to me in this episode. And tell me if
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: I'm weird, actually please because I know I have some
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: some odd things about me. But there's one thing that
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: happened during this episode with ari Impecca that just made
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: me like just be like, wow, I'd be into this
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: girl because I wasn't into her at first. I thought
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: it was she was a little odd. And then they're
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: sitting on the back of the car talking and he's like,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm sitting here with this beautiful or she said,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: I'm sitting here with this handsome guy. And he goes, oh,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: I think the same thing. He's like, I've just been wondering.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: I'm nervous if like you like him or not, and
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: she goes, so far, so good. Yeah, And it was
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: just like really cofident, kind of snarky but really cute
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: moment for them where you could tell he was like
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: taken back and also calm and and at east because
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: that same line or that same kind of like conversation
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: could exist anywhere, especially outside of that show. But for me,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: that was a very memorable moment. I like it because
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: she's like, just because you're the Bachelor doesn't mean I'm
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: in love with the already. Yeah, she's gonna be really cool.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: I think he's going to really fall for her. I
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: don't know any spoilers. We should say that upfront to
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: we know nothing. Yeah, I don't want to know anything
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: because and I'll leak something. Okay, actually give us one
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: more because we told listeners, you do the people that
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: kind of drove you crazy and the people you like
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: to give us one more woman on the show that
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: kind of drove you crazy, drove me crazy. Oh, I
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: think the mom's going to have an issue. What's her Chelsea,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: une year old mom from Portland's Uh yeah. She seems
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: like she is the the crap talker. She that is
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: going to be the girl who's gonna talk negatively. She
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: was the one who was like, of course, it was
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: the girl who came in with the mode, like with
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: the race car that interrupted me. She keeps making like
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: all these subtle little digs and his little condescending and
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: she's kind of speaking like she's about to play the
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: super Bowl. She's like talking smack. But isn't she the
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: first impression Rose girl too? Oh yeah, that's a big deal.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: That's a really big deal. So he obviously like it
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: or what maybe he's not seeing it. Which is something
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: that I always say and that needs that everybody needs
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: to be reminded of, including myself as I watched the show,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: is when she's saying this stuff or when she's coming
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: off that way to people the Bachelor, Bachelor, you don't
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: see that, And everybody when you get back home, one
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: of the first things they're gonna ask Ari is you
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: know you gave the first impression rose to Chelsea watching
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: to her like she was always like so negative and
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: always like speaking down to people. And his honest response is,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: I didn't see it. I didn't know. I just knew
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: what I saw. Right. That's such a good point for
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: you to make. And then I have another point to make.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Verse off, she's playing a game, Like she's the girl
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: who's there to like win. She's there to win the game,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: you know, and I think she's also there to like
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: get a father for her child. Hey, good, good for her.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: I mean she's there. I hope she's not playing a game.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: I hope she actually is into um. But yeah, like
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: you said, like she's obviously strategic and some of the
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: things she's doing and saying and and just her I
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: get ability to kind of defy anybody's She just don't
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: care she would like or not. And so she just
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: walked up to twice knowing it was gonna ruffles feathers
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: and she didn't care. Yeah. Yeah, so she's gonna be
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: that girl. So speaking of that girl, UM, I want
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: you guys to know that when we are like maybe
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: maybe we're we're talking a little smack right now, going
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: down these lists of girls, we're just going off and
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: what we're seeing, and we're going off of what you
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: guys are seeing. And this is the edit, and this
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: is the characters they wanted us to see. There's so
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: many of us, if you meet us in real life.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Were so different. And I always say that I used
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: to watch American Idol like hardcore, and whenever I was
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: watching the show, you know, they make characters out of
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: them too, and I'd be like, Oh, I don't like
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: so and so. I really can't stand so and so.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: And then on the American Idol tour that summer, I
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: would meet that so and so, and I would love them.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: So we're just talking based on their caricatures on the
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: show right now. We're not trying to bring them down
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: as people. I'm definitely trying to bring him down. That's
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: the only reason I'm here. I don't know what else
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: you're doing. Okay, So we've talked about the people that
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: kind of uh made you aware a little nervous. Now
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: let's talk about the women you like. We talked about
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: beck Guy. I think we can both agree she's going
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: to be a major player in this time. And there
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: are right. There are two beccas. One the short haired
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Becka her name is spelled bizarrely, it is b e
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: k a H. And then the other one is Becca
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: k Um. We were talking about the short haired back guy.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: I know that just from what I saw, I believe
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: in the first episode she's going to be around a while.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: And I like her. I mean, I think she's gonna
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: be intriguing. She's interesting, and she seems like a different
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: personality than what we usually get on this show. So
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: who else kind of made you interested? Ashley Well, I
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: love Bibiana. She seems she seems to like be like me.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: She's like not going to be able to deal with
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: any bs. I feel like she's gonna be like, no,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: this is the way things are. She's gonna keep it real. Um. Yeah.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: I like to bean A to a ton and she's beautiful.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: I just think she's going to have an issue on
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: this show because she is so straightforward and she doesn't
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: settle for anything that's not authentic that when she speaks up,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: I think it's going to come off as very forceful
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: and very loud, and as a result, I think be
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Beyana might not be shown in the best like just
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: kind of based on her reaction to things that go
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: on on the show. Okay, so that's exactly how I
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: feel like I relate to her because I think that
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of those feelings that she's
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: going to feel are going to be maybe amplified on
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: TV in a way that she didn't intend them to
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: look interesting. Yeah, I mean that's it. I mean amplified
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: or not they been. And so I just think a
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: personality type like Viviana, Um, it could just could come
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: off different. But I like her on Night one a lot.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Um actually give if not like from my opinion, like
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: the produced girl there, she's gorgeous. Um, let's see, we
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: have liked a cuple of Rebecca, the one that proposed.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: You know what's so interesting is that that Becca. The
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: first time I watched it, because I have watched it
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: twice now, um, it made me cringe. I was like,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: I can't believe she's doing this. And then the second
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: time I watched it, I thought she did that very
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: awkward thing with a lot of poise and a lot
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: of confidence, and I think she actually pulled it off
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: not that bad, I mean the whole nice, awkward like
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: I think it was great again. I hope that like
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: if you know, when I was back to I was
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: excited when women would would do something different. And I
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: thought that took thought it had it made her confident
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: and it's it's something to be remembered by. Um. Yeah,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: it's it's that whole night talk where you're literally pulling
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: up in a car with a bunch of other girlfriends
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: who are dating the same guy, and that guy is
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: standing there and you have to get out and like
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: say hi to him and then walk inside of mansion
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: your late on him, like the whole set of Salkward.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: So just play with it a little bit. Tia was
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: the twenty six year old girl who went up to
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: him and said, um, this is a little weener. I
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: hope you don't have one of these already absolute best
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: interest that was and he like, okay, this so again,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Ari's nervous. It's a huge night for him. He's taking
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: it very serious. He should. It sounds like he's a
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: great dude. Um, I thought this was one that like,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: that was his moment to show us his personality that
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: he has one, and he completely failed in that. No,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: that's what I became concerned. That's when I became whatever.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: What did he do? He was just like, Oh, ha,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: don't worry, I don't yeah, okay, I don't care who
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: you are. I don't care how conservative you are whatever.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Like that was so witty and it was funny and
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: it wasn't like crude or whatever. Like when she made
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: that joke, all he had to do was laugh a
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: little bit, like, loosen up, buddy. I hope he takes
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: a cute couple of deep breaths, realizes that he has
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: a lonceon Lifetime shot to find his wife amongst a
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: bunch of beautiful women, but also understand that hey, like,
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: laugh a little bit, show us who you are, and
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: show us that you are the funny guy that Sean
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: claims you are. And I was waiting for that this
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: whole episode and I didn't see it. Ben. That was
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: so perfectly put like if you are Chris sauls are
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Nick if a girl came up to you guys and
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: did that, you'd be peeing your pants. Oh it's so good,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: it's absolutely great. I mean it made me, It made
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: me I wrote down in my notes I have I
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: have notes myself. Actually, um, that is that literally made
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: her my my favorite contestant uh starting at night one.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Based on that, I want to tell you because I
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: think these couple these will surprise you. I'm not great
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: at picking my favorite contestants, obviously, because all of my
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: favorite contestants to go home other than one night, one way,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not kidding what who else? So the one that
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: didn't go home, I want to talk about her, I
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: really intrigue. I find her very attractive. Um the the
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: woman who owns the restaurant. She is so striking, like
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: insanely attractive. When she walked out, I was like, that
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: is like, that might be one of the most beautiful
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: woman I've ever seen. I totally agree, And he doesn't
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: seem to be like ooing over her like the way
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: we are. Yeah, why why? Why is that means? Do
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: I not remember that you do something weird tonight on
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: the episode that I know? Not remembering? No. I think
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Ari has a type, and I think that type is
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: Emily Emily Maynard, and I feel like that that like
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: ethnic exotic look may not be his thing. I think
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: he likes an all American Chica. That being said, her
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: opening line was also super cute, and he didn't really
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: respond to that either. She said, I have a lot
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: of would you say, I have a lot of spice
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: in my life, but I need some salt and pepper?
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: How cute? So great? And I mean and then she's like, yeah,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: that's the thing. And I saw Ari's Night one. I
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: would give him. I gave Nick. I think a B
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: maybe B plus. I would give Ari a c. UM.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: I thought, I think he's gonna be a fine back
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: because I think he's going to really try to find somebody,
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: and I think this piece is only going to get better.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: But as I'm grading Night one, I just felt like
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: he he didn't make it fun for me to watch,
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: which isn't his job is to make it fun for
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: me to watch, but it is his job to make
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: it fun to the women who are there. And so
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: I hope that the things we weren't seeing was that
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: he's laughing and being playful with these women. See if
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: he was my bachelor and I had to go talk
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: to him night one, I feel like I would have
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: been so careful, um and so self conscious about everything
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: I came out of my mouth, because he just he
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: definitely seems very transparent and like if he's feeling you,
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: he's going to feel you. But like if he thinks
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: that you said something weird, he's going to be a
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: little judgy. Yeah, yeah, that's the thing. And so he
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: and I could never date because I say something, I
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: love you so much. Okay, here's and I think the
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: second woman that I here that I'm gonna say, I
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: need to have told me if she went home or not,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: because I couldn't quite figure it out and I couldn't
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: find anything. Um, and I didn't rewind it because I
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: didn't want to take the time. But I like Jessica
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: a ton out of the limo, and she went home
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: on night one, which is so weird to me because
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: I thought she was calming, she was confident, she wasn't nervous,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: she had a good interaction with him. She's beautiful. What
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: about Jessica? How did she get on the limo? Was
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: it just like a woman in the red dress? Yeah,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: the woman in the red dress who said that her
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: father had met Ari. That was kind of her sitting
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: scene was my father and me Ari. I thought maybe
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: my father would get to meet like my dad died. Yeah, yeah,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: that was heartbreaking, that's the way. And and for me,
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: it was just weird that she wasn't there any longer,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: and I have her down as my favorite other than
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: the restaurant on night one. You would think that he'd
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: let that poor girl go at least a week and
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: get to know her. She seems to me, I don't
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: remember home or not. No, she did. She definitely went home.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: I remember watching him being like, oh dang, very sad. Exit.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Now just makes me question who I was at home
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: one night one? Um, that could have been you know,
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: my future wife question before we do our first commercial,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: do they take your watches away? They don't take your
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: watch away. Know, they don't take your watch away, but
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: because so few girls do watch, um, you wear watches?
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Like I'm always asking what time it is? And for
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: some reason, I only know why I care time it
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: is and I tell you what time it is. Yeah,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: they'll tell you so they'll be like it's five am.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Just I like to know, like right exactly if it's
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: getting too late. That's what I like to know. And
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: I like to know how much time I have to
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: get ready. Yeah, I mean on night one, you really
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: don't we say? You know? We said it now. For
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: last few seasons that we've been a part of this podcast,
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: you don't want to know what time it is on
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: night one, because, as we saw at the end of
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: the episode, it literally starts at seven o'clock at night,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: it when it's dark outside, and it goes until like
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: mid morning, like ten o'clock in the a m Am, Ashley,
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: trust me, I know it was two am. I was
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: walking back into my my hotel room where I was
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: living as the bachelor after doing all of my interview. Okay, goodbye.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: So by the time you got back to your room, yes, yes, see, Ashley,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: don't correct me about being a bachelor. I don't know.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know. UM. So I get back to the
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: room at ten a m. Only to find myself sleeping
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: on the most precious comfortable mattress I've ever ever laid on.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Um and as a result, I now sleep on the
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: same mattress. I'm talking about sleep number our sponsor, and
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about sleep number with you. Making

• 33:32
  Speaker 1: eating less sweets. There's one thing that can always help.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: That's more sleep. You need to sleep well. Most Americans
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: get less than the recommended seven to eight hours to
• 33:40

  Speaker 1: really do. I mean that I sleep on a sleep
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: number every night. I have for the last few years.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: My number actually asked me before the podcast what my
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: number is? And and for all you out there, that's
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: kind of the firmness that you like. Your mattress is
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: a seventies. So if you want to sleep like me, uh,
• 34:08

• 34:26
  Speaker 1: But why is that sad? Because you have a couple.
• 34:32

• 34:48
  Speaker 1: question to you are out there listening, does your bed
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: do bad? I don't think so. So if you're listening
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: to this, you say, I gotta get myself a sleep number.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: I gotta figure out what this is all about. Don't

• 35:21
  Speaker 1: Say you, actually, I do sleep on a sleep Number.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: I think they're great. Uh. I like the ability to customize.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: I like the ability um that when you are laying there.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: You know if on one night I like a firm
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: on the other side, I like get soft. I can
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: just roll over a couple of times in my nice
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: king Sleep Number bed and I can get the best
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: of both worlds when out ask me get up and
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: out of the covers. Uh. You said it soft and hard,
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: Well you can. Yeah. So like say one night, actually,
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: I'm laying in my sleep Number bed and I'm like
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: my baccord, I need something a little firmer. I'm gonna
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: set that left side to the eight range. Okay, but
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: my strategy here before I go to bed at night
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: is I want to set the other side about a
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: thirty to forty rage just in case I wake up
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: in the middle night. I'm like, oh man, this is
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: two firm. I don't have to mess with anything. I
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: could roll over. That's lovely, It's absolutely amazing. That's the
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: benefit of not having a person to sleep left. Hey,
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: there's there's a couple. At least you can also star
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: under the sheets. That's a good point. Okay. The last
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: woman that I want to say that I really liked
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: that I stay went home, but I don't know for
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: sure because it kind of cut out and didn't really
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: show her exit interview was Brittany. Brittany was the one
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: that did the drive around the driveway with the two cars.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: Did she go home one night one travelway with two cards?
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: Why am I like blinking on this? Remember they had
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: a car race? Oh that's right, that's right. I can't
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: remember who went home, me neither, because you know, I
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: don't ever remember that first row ceremony. The girls I
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: go home because you have to. Anyway, I really like Brittany.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: She's the one that drove around the driveway. I think
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: she's stunningly beautiful. I mean she had the first kiss
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: with Ari. Everybody's freaked out, but that was like a peck, right,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what is the last time, Okay, Amy,
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: if you had a peck right now in your life.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: I said, I could a text messaging, you know, Oh
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: my god, because I remember I'm like a lip kisser,
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: so I always have pecks. That's why they mean nothing
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: to me. They're so oh yeah. Amy like kisses her
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: colleagues on the lips. Sometimes it's like text mean nothing.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: You gotta like it's got to be something for me
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: to really Okay, So those are my favorite. I have
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: to mention pitstop girl, pitstop girl and she go home
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: the one who said, like, smell me, I've been I
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: bet you that was the best pitch stop you've ever had. Yeah,
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: that's awful. I have a weird thing with smells. Um.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know what it is, but like bodily odor is,
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: I mean I could accept it. I mean we all
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: got it, we all we all have it, but I
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: don't like want you to push it on me. Like
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of I save a weird thing
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: where like I won't hear anybody else's deodor it. Yeah,
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: I just think there's like a level of decency. But like,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: even if you smell good, I know that, like you're
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: smelling good because you're covering up some uh something underneath,
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Like I don't. I just don't like that. That was
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: That was absolutely horrible. There's no way, in my opinion,
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: he could be physically attracted to somebody that he smelled
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: the pits up. I don't smell the pits of any
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: girlfriends I've had. Like, okay, I'm going on anyway. Don't know.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: I love this. I love it you. I never knew
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: you had to passion. There's like a secret passion for
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: undercover hate for these sls. Yes, don't make me smell
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: your pits. Um. Just if if anybody out there that's
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: listening to this podcast, if we happen to go on
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: a day or for hanging out in public, or if
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: if you see me somewhere, don't ask me to smell
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: anything of yours. Um, this is not a place that
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: I need to go to with you. Interesting all right, Well, yeah,
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: totally makes sense. I'm so glad I've learned something more
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: about you today. Oh, actually we have a lot of
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: talking to do for the next couple of years. Um, hey, Ben,
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: should we move on and talk about us? Yeah? In
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: one second, so to sum it up, No, I'm not
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: done yet. Um no, just just sumb it up for
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: all the listeners out there. I mean, this is a
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: big day for us. We do have a factulors reason
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: to talk about. Again. I think this podcast there will
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: be a lot of fun because we are gonna get
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: the inside scoop. We're gonna get the details of the
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: juicy gossip behind the scenes. We're gonna hopefully talk to
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: Ori at some point this season because he is the
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: man on a mission to find love. But we need
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: to break down every episode, and so actually I'm gonna
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: give you three minutes. I'm gonna set my timer. Um,
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: and if you could just tell us summarized in three
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: minutes or less, the first episode your thoughts and will
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: move on to what in the heck our life is doing? Okay, wow,
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: this is big? Yeah, start now, all right, So we
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: start with Emily. We have to talk about how he
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: just loved Emily, and then we have all the race
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: car driver puns. It's going to last the entire season.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: We're gonna be constantly reminded that Ari was some low
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: tier race car driver. Sorry, that was the last time
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: he was in love. Then Sean and Catherine come back
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: and pour them. Hopefully next year they'll have a break.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: Then we get our packages. Their standouts are Becca the
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: twenty two year old nanny with the short hair, Um,
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: Chelsea the twenty nine year old Portland's mom. There are
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: so many cliches in these packages. Everybody is so ready
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: to fall in love with Ari, even though they have
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: not met him yet. Um Ari starts out. He's a
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: little awkward, a little robotic, a little cold. Um, he's
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: very He's taking this process so so seriously. Um, let's
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: see as far as the entrances that stood out. We
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: got Tia with the little wiener. We got um Crystal
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: with her focusing on love and health and fitness and
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: having that sexy, annoying voice. And then we have Becca
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: in the red car who says a perfect line that
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: she goes, I may be young, but I still appreciate
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: something classic. Then, oh my gosh, Um, we have some entrances.
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: They're very prototypical. We get it, we get it. Now
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: we're moving on and Ari's talking to the girls. He's
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: again seeming to be a little serious, and but the
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: girls doesn't matter because they're all obsessed with him per usual.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: And Chelsea is a steeler. She she's very aggressive, she's
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: not rubbing the woman the right way. And then there's
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: a first kiss. There's a first kiss with a girl
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: named who Jessica Brittany. Okay, I was gonna say Jessica
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: got left home? Um, two minutes was too long. I'm mom,
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: I'm almost done. Yeah, yeah you should. Uh, I think
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: you have a minute left. I have two things I
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: want to in the last minute. Yeah, my My two
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: comments to summarize this year. One is, I have a
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: hard time believing he was that in love with Emily. Um.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: I I kind of felt cringe worthy that whole time
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: during that first couple of minutes of the episode. I
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: really would like to talk to Ori if they did
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: you really love Emily that much? Was she really your
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: last love? Um? And if she was, then I can
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: tell that he'll take this season so serious because he
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: felt something um with her. My second thing is and
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: and tell me if I missed it, Amy, I know
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: you watched it as well. You guys need to tell
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: me but this might be the first season that I
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: remember that Chris Harrison did not open it up by
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: saying this will be the most dramatic Statchelor's season ever.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: I don't remember him saying it. You cannot remember him. Yeah,
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: so I wonder what the means or if we'll get
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: that at some point. But there was no typical Chris
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: Harrison letting us know that this will be the most
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: dramatic Bachelor season of all time. Yeah, so I did
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: pick up on that. Um, Okay, moving on. We have
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: a few things, uh in fascination we need to talk about. Um,
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: just to touch on. We we get a ton of
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: emails and I my Twitter was blowing up this week
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: asking us to talk about this. Obviously, UM, we're friends
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: with Peter. Uh. And Peter was in the news a
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: little business week. One of his ex girlfriends came out
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: um claiming um that he went on the back flat
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: for all the wrong reason. She had text messages to
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: prove it. Um. She came out publicly to say this Astley,
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: I personally am looking at this situation and I read
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: through the text and I have taught to Peter. UM.
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: I feel bad for him because nothing I have no
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: idea why an ex girlfriend would be dis vindictive and
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: this full towards him. I mean she's literally trying to
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: ruin him as a person. Um anyone do that, by
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: the way, it's really it makes you look awful too.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: It doesn't make it. It's absolutely terrible. I mean they
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: were dating at the time, right, So, Um, she was
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: probably a little jealous, upset that he was, you know,
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: going on the show, or they had broken up before
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: he gone on the show, But she was probably upset
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: with him, jealous because her boyfriend, who was good looking
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: and smart and talented and she knew was probably gonna
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: go pretty far on the show, who's going to be
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: you know, uh famous, And so as a results, she
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: chooses to take it into her own hand by trying
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: to ruin him. Now, Okay, this is where we should
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: should be very clear. Did Peter go on the batchlut
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: for all the right reason? I'm sure he didn't. Nobody does.
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: Um the should he have said the things in the
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: text much as he said, like, Hey, I'm gonna use
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: my charm, good look and whatever else to win over America. No,
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: that's incredibly competed and just very unattractive and terrible to
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: say as a person about yourself ever, But okay, he
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: said it, so are we're gonna really try to ruin
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: him and his character by saying this and bring us
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: to attention. I think that's where this huge mistake is,
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: if she chose to speak about a private matter publicly
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: just because her boyfriend's a public figure. I have a question,
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: do you care if he went on for the right
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: reasons or the wrong reason? No? I don't think I care, because,
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: like we say all the time, regardless of your reasons,
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: once you're actually there and you actually meet someone, you're
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: not going to fake it. Like I don't think anybody
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: who fell in love in the end of this process
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: has ever been like you know what, I didn't really
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: feel anything acted the entire saying. Now, that's never the case.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: They went on on a whim, like they got a
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: call or their friends submitted him, so I just did it. Yeah,
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: it's not like that's that much different. No, No, I
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: mean honestly, it's kind of like my scenario, or at
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: least I can relate back to my my story in
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: this in this whole process is I went on to
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: the Bachelor and Bachelor hoping to find something. Okay, that
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: was that was about it as as credible or as
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: some fear as I could get. Is I just hope
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: something good happens out of this for me. I hope
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: that I find love, or I hope that I make
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: a ton of friendship. I just hope that I look
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: back on this process and say I'm glad I did it. Um.
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: And I think that's the way most people go into
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: the show. If he wanted the show saying I'm definitely
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: gonna fall in love and I'm definitely gonna pursue this one,
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: I think that would be even weirder. Yeah, I would
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: make a bigger deal about that. Um. So with this
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: being said, UM, did he make a mistake by by
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: saying some of the things he did in the text?
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: Of course he did. Is it enough for her to
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: now say to go out publicly and and call him out?
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: And here here is the ironic part of this, Actually,
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: and Amy and I think this is what drives me crazy,
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: um about life in general. And we've all been guilt, right,
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: But she says in these text messages, when they're texting
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: back and forth the Peter, she says, you're just going
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: on to be's famous. He's going, I'm trying to enhance
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: my career. I'm trying to you know, get in my
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: name out there and all this stuff. And she's like, well,
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: I would never do anything like that. I have a
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: you know, I have a lot more uh whatever, she
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: has a lot more hoping herself or what do you
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: want to say? You should never just go on something
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: to be famous and to get attention. Well, what heck
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: did she do? She blew attention. I know it is compredibly,
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: incredibly hypocritical of her and a Chad and I hope
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: that we can all take a second when when we're
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: angry or jealous or feeling a certain way about somebody,
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: take a step back and realized that doing anything vindictive
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: is never the right response. And for her, in my opinion,
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know her, and I probably will never mean
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: it for her. I just it discredits a lot for me. Yeah, yeah,
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: I agree. I didn't I didn't listen it. I don't
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: really care or why he went on, because I genuinely
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: think he was like surprised by how much he sort
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: of liked Rachel and the kind of impacted him. Yeah,
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: he's definitely a change man because of it. In a
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: good way. I'm sure you know him. He's a really
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: nice guy. Yeah, definitely. Yeah. I mean insteading out his
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: his Instagram feed and his Twitter and his emails and
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: his text or whatever, I was just getting blown up.
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: His family's probably hearing about it, and he's getting questioned
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: as a person, which is just sad. And here's the thing.
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: Maybe let me just play like another scenario. Maybe he
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: said some of those things to the girl sort of
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: make her feel differently. Field kind of like, Luke, I'm
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: just doing this for my career. Don't worry about it.
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: I don't mean to hurt you. Probably what he did,
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: that's what wasn't I did that. I'm gonna be alb
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: be straight honest. I did that. Yeah, was some guy
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: that I really liked before I went to go do
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: the Bachelor. Um, when I came back, he was like,
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: why do you do that? I was like, well, you know,
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: it's a good exposure and you know, I want to
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: get into broadcasting. And then and then that made him
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: feel better about it all. Yeah, I mean, that's it.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: That's it. There's a there's a lot of reasons why
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: you say he did Was it right that he didn't no, um,
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: but it's it's sad that now he is being questioned
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: as a person because of this um and so we
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: we we had to talk about it. We're gonna get
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: tony of emails about it, you know. One of our
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: thoughts on it, My thought is the actually spot on,
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: like who knows why he said it, but he said it,
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: And it's if he really was acting that whole season,
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: if he was really there the whole time to act. Um,
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: he's a great actor and somebody out there needs to
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: hire him for for some kind of role because that
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: was incredible because I especially that exit on his half,
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: Sparks would need to hire him. Oh my gosh, that
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: was I was saying at home. I was dripping off
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: bike clothes. He was dripping off. It was amazing. The
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: lesson be careful what you text to, who you really
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: got to know, who you can trust. Oh yeah, Also,
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: let me just throw that out there so that people
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: won't get mad at me that. When I did come
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: back and I did talk to the guy about my roasening,
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: he was like, did you like him? Did you kiss him?
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: I was like, yes, I liked him, but I kissed him.
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: It was like all a great experience that you know,
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: you're not worried about it. Okay, I just wanted to
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: throw that out there. I know, I know you wanted
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: to throw that out there. And you guys really know that,
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: like I really love love to we're not worried about it. Yeah. Hey,
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: everybody out there listening, I just want you to just
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: send a lot of hate mail to ask you right
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: now just thinking that shot all this in check. Please.

• 50:44
  Speaker 1: meal spent to you, um, and and guys start to

  Speaker 1: I have a quick little story to share here about
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: blue apron Um my mom who I grew up in
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: a house where my mom, uh, we would have a
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: meal every night at the house. We would sit around
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: the dinner table and eat. And she enjoyed cooking. It
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: was one of her love languages and ways to get
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: back to the family. Um. And so she takes pride
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: in what she's cooking and how well she's cooking. She's
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: a great cook. She actually told me over the holiday break,
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: after thing the podcast and after kind of hearing and
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: testing out some of these food boxes, because uh, we
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: did send her some blue apron, she is sold and
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: she believes she sees why I get the blue Apron
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: idea works for families because you still get the cooks,
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: you still get to, you know, sit down with your
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: family at dinner, and it's healthy food. The only thing
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: you eliminate is first off, the stress of planning out
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: what exactly you're gonna cook, and also the trips the
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: grocery store. So my mom sold, which means you know
• 53:36

• 54:27
  Speaker 1: let's actually let's read through two emails from our beautiful
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: listeners and we can get some good responses. Okay, man,
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: there's this girl doing some detective work. I don't even
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: know if it's gonna fly because okay, okay, let's do it.
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: Let's do it all right, Hi, Ben, Ashley and Amy.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: I am from Utah, so naturally, when I heard that
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: there was two girls from Utah on our season, I
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: started snooping their social media accounts. I thought, you guys
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: might want to know something interesting I found. So mcel
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: cooper is the this girl they showed on the Sneak
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: Peak special. She was photographing a couple they were getting married. Well,
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: she's twenty three and she's already been divorced. She was
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: married to Josh Monday and if you look up the
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: Monday family, you'll see that they are a very wealthy family,
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: and Josh has several brothers whose wives also have quite
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: a large amount of Instagram followers. Um, what I think
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: is interesting is that Josh Monday has been liking and
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: commenting like the emoji the raised the roof, like praise emoji,
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: the praise emoji on Michel's Instagram post recently. Remember this
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: is his ex wife, and then she liked his comment
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: on the photo. I'll attach a picture of what I'm
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: talking about, but I just think it's super shady. Congrats
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: on three seasons, and I absolutely love the podcast. Her
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: name is Ashley. Thanks ash Um. Yeah, I guess my
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: only email is thank you for listening. And you are
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: you have a lot of time on your hands. But
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's great. It's something that I, uh, I
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: never even would have thought about looking into. Uh. Is
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: that weird actually too for the next husband to be
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: still commenting on his ex life pictures. I would think so,
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: But I guess depends on it depends on the status
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: of which they broke up. You know, maybe they are
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: good friends. That definitely happens. I'm going to feed into
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: your thoughts, ash and say that the season long preview
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: suggests that there's a guy that comes back into the
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: picture and he's like, I'm here to get my girl,
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: I'm here to get her back, blah blah. That seems
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: like we can fit in Mr Josh Monday into that scenario. Mm,
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: that could be And wow, Okay, this is podcast gold.
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: If we have a listener, do the investigative word and
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: find out about this guy and he is the guy
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: that comes onto the season, that would be incredible and
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: actually have to bring you on just to celebrate you
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: and and as a detective. Thanks and Um, we should
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: mention that maybe they're not actually divorced, maybe they're separated
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: and he's coming back together. That seems tricky, and it
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: seems like if that was a I would just Adould
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: Advisor to not come onto the Bachelor because he knew
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: that would be a story lot. I know. I truly
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: think that there's part of the contract that says that
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: you can't be married at all. I think you have
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: to be formally divorced. Well, that seem fair, Hey, Astley, Uh,
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: two more emails, h Thick, pick one out here? Okay, here,
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go with one without even reading it first.
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: It's from anonymous, so that must mean it's juicy. Oh no, hey, Ben,
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: and I actually love your podcast, and I have a
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: funny story for you. When I was pregnant with my
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: now four year old son, Ari was Oh I thought
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: his name was Ari. When I was pregnant with my
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: now four year old son Are It was the Bachelorette.
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: It was on the Bachelorette. I loved him so much.
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: I just thought he was such a good guy and
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: so handsome too, that I thought, if my baby ended
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: up being a boy, I would like to call him Mari.
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: So I was right lo and behold, I had a
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: son and we named him Ari because of Ari on
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: The Bachelor. At I was so excited he was coming back,
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: and of course I remembered him because my son is
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: named after him. Anyways, here's my Ari, four years old.
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: Who knows, maybe he'll become a contestant one day. Thanks
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: for a great podcast. Okay, so that was more of
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: a comment. That's very funny, very funny. That's wow. I
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: don't blame her because there's even watching the bach Room myself. Um,
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: their names that come through um that I've never heard
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: before that are unique in a beautiful yeah baby, that
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff, And so I could see where you'd
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: be watching, Like Ari, I've never thought about that name before,
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: but I'm, you know, having a baby. That seems like
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: a great name to name my son. But how I mean,
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: how crazy is it that now, like this little guy's
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: life is completely you know, marked, and he's named Are
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: based on The Bachelor. That's that's just so weird to me,
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: so funny, but also I kind of like the name
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: are for a guy too? What about what about for
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: a girl? From my own girl? Are you? I mean?
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: I think you can go book. Oh oh yes. I
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: was like, you want me to announce my children's names
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: in the future. I was like, I can't give those away.
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: I don't want to buy stealing. I know you have them,
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: I know, I know you know I have them. Um,
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: so yeah, anyways, thank you for writing in anonymous. We
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: appreciate you listening and great name choice. I got an
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: email here. Actually I'm going to read out loud from Lauren.
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: I've been in and I've been in an off relationship
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: for seven years now, and I found myself recently questioning
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: it at all. We have the same group of friends,
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: and our families give along great after We love his
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: personality and feel so comfortable around him, but can't help
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: but wonder if I'm only focusing on the comfort of
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: knowing he'll always be there for me. That's a huge
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: line because this is so typical in relationship. It says,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: I can't help, but wonder if I'm only focusing on
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: the trumport of knowing he'll always be there for me.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: I know we're still young. I'm twenty three, he's twenty four,
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: and that there's so many other people out there. I
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: put him in the friend zone multiple times and he
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: just keeps holding on. I'm not good at being hard
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: on people, and it kills me to break his heart,
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: but I think it's what is best for us. Any opinions, Uh, Laurence,
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: thank you for that email. This first off, I want
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: to say that you're your ability to analyze the situation
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: is amazing. I mean you just just in this paragraph alone,
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: I think you're touching on a lot of the stuff.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: To ask you and I would say back to you,
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: but Aston, what do you think I was actually just
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: gonna say that exact thing. I was like, if you
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: go back and reread your paragraph, I think you have
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: your answer there. I think you're probably time to just
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: like put a total halt to it. And it's probably
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: one of those relationships where we're not gonna be able
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: to be friends with him for quite some time afterward,
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: because you guys have gone into that zone and then
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: come out a few times. I just don't Yeah, I
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: don't know. I this is tough. I mean I remember
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: Ali Fantaski are wonderful guest. On the last episode of
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: season three, UM was on and she she said something
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: in our interview with her that you know, she's always
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: been the type of person that stayed in relationships too long,
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: that she just holds onto it for too long when
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: she knew that she should have gotten out, um And,
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: and it ends up being pretty detrimental to both people
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: and to any type of relationship in the future. And
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: so my advice would be, if you're feeling this way
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: you are young, maybe maybe life will bring you back
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: together with him. Maybe you just had to take a
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: break away to realize how much you actually care about him,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: and that that comfort that you think you there's the
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: only thing that you're holding onto is actually like true
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: love and and that's a different kind of comfort that
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: you could deal with anybody else. And so I would
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: recommend that just from what you read here, take a
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: step away. It's going to be really hard, but you
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: need to do that. It just it sounds like you're
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: already there mentally um And that you're not. You're you're
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: so far gone that you're not going to get back
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: to a healthy place of this relationship. And then, uh,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: understand that you have a little bit of time to
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: find yourself and and meet other people, but you know,
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: don't discount the thought that maybe one day life will
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: bring you back together. That that is still a possibility. Um,
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: but for right now, it just sounds like you need
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: to take a break, that this relationship is no longer
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: the best thing. I feel like a lot of couples
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: who have been together for so long at such a
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: young age, like they usually come to this point where
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: they are like, I need to discover what else is
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: out there and whether or not like you are my
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: one and I just found you early or yeah. I
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: mean like I think I think you need that space
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: and self discovery, and I think it's very typical for
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: these couples to get back together. So even if it's
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: scary right now, just just you'll know you'll figure it
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: out eventually. Yeah, definitely, I mean, uh so, Laurence, thanks
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: for right Non. I mean I think this is there's
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: not a lot to stay here. You said almost all
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: of yourself. Um, but my advice to you would be
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: to to walk away, but to try to hold onto
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: any dignity and hold onto that relationship. It sounds like
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: you have something good there, um, but just maybe not
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: romantically right now. Um. Okay, our last email it's from Karina,
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: but I just finished listening to episode fourteen. Uh and
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: you put a collar a collar was on who was
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: dumped during a best man speech. How awful. I feel
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: so bad for her. However, it also about me thinking
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: how how bad my dad's speech was that my own wedding,
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: and how it's such an interesting topic we can all
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: relate to sitting through some pretty uncomfortable speeches at weddings. Right, So,
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: if you're looking for a topic for a podcast, whether
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: it's on the Almost Papers podcast or the I Don't
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: Get a podcast, I think this is a good one. Yeah,
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: shout out to you. So here's the funny part, and
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: this this emaie is just kind of funny. I think
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: it's good because if you're wondering why my dad beach
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: are so awful, it's because during his beach you count
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: of time having sex with my mom where my brother
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: and I walk in mid act. That a really sore
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: spot with you. Actually, I can tell never happened. It's
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: never happened, but it's a fear. If that story isn't
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: bad enough on its own, let me add that my
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: parents are divorced and aren't really friends. I was reliated
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: and basically locked myself in the back room crying for
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: a while. At my own way is pretty tragic, and
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: it still makes my print skin crawl thinking about it.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: Just so i'd throw that idea your way. I also
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: want to just let you guys know how much I
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: love your podcast and to keep up the good work respectually.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: That is thank you, Visus. That's hilarious, tom Amy. Have
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: you ever happened to you? Have you ever walked in
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: on your parents? Yeah? I had to ask you guys
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: this question. Thanks for taking the words out of my mouth. No, no, no, no,
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: no time right now? Why why is it such a
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: bad nightmare? Oh my god, Ben, come on now? Why
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: see that? Oh? I don't know. It's the most disturbing
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: that you you know. I actually we don't have to
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: go up on a tangent here. I actually have a
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: buddy of one of my best postest friends who, uh this,
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: this I think is worse walked in on his ram parents.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: That's a lot less disturbing to me, honestly, because I
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: think it'd be more funny. Like I think it's kind
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: of hysterical because you just don't have the same sort
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: of like relationship. It's just you're so much more removed. Hey,
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: you weren't there. You don't know, maybe there's maybe they're
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: doing some wild stuff. Maybe they were very interesting non
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: elderly position. That is a hilarious email, though, I mean,
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: how terrible. And I hope that everybody out there listening, Um,
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: if you're playing on getting married anytime soon or in
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: the future, I just hope that your speeches and the
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: whole night goes magically, or if all has failed, you
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: have a really good story to tell afterwards, which sounds
