- 1:12Speaker 1: And the voice that you hear on the other end
- 1:14Speaker 1: is not Ben Higgins. You guys, have you been following along?
- 1:17Speaker 1: He actually had a c L surgery today. Filling in
- 1:21Speaker 1: for him is Derek Paith. Oh my god, he's the
- 1:24Speaker 1: perfect guest host today. What's up? Ash I prefer that
- 1:31Speaker 1: actually from people. I feel like that really they have
- 1:33Speaker 1: like a sense of comfort with me. There we go,
- 1:36Speaker 1: I gotta feel comfortable today. That was my poor Ben
- 1:39Speaker 1: Higgins impression. Then I won't do it again. I'll just
- 1:42Speaker 1: be me Oh my god, because he does call me
- 1:44Speaker 1: ash y so funny. Okay, well, I think that you're
- 1:51Speaker 1: the perfect person for this for of a specific reason.
- 1:56Speaker 1: Do you have any idea why I have been triggered
- 1:59Speaker 1: many time was watching so um. I mean I say that,
- 2:03Speaker 1: you know, mostly jokingly, but like, first of all, this
- 2:07Speaker 1: has been an amazing season. I'm just gonna say that
- 2:09Speaker 1: generally I haven't talked on like any podcast or whatever
- 2:13Speaker 1: about it, so like, excuse me if I could go
- 2:16Speaker 1: over some little things that have happened before as like yeah,
- 2:20Speaker 1: but but I mean, this season has had the most
- 2:25Speaker 1: like prearranged kind of things, which you know, we don't
- 2:30Speaker 1: know if or what happened in my season, which was
- 2:34Speaker 1: just last season, I guess, but I feel like some
- 2:36Speaker 1: of that happened as well to me, and so it's
- 2:39Speaker 1: been like, oh my god, I feel everyone's pain that
- 2:42Speaker 1: it's on the like receiving end of that. You know,
- 2:44Speaker 1: do you remember I always bring this up, like back
- 2:47Speaker 1: during season two, Joe Bailey and Samantha Stephen never spoke
- 2:52Speaker 1: on the phone. All they did was DM or like
- 2:55Speaker 1: text or something, and it was the biggest controversy. So
- 2:59Speaker 1: that was at the beginning, and now we have people
- 3:02Speaker 1: going on that are in full blown relationships. Yes, you're right, though,
- 3:07Speaker 1: I want I think that you're the perfect guest because
- 3:09Speaker 1: you were kind of the victim of somebody who was
- 3:13Speaker 1: who had a relationship back at home. Yes, and that
- 3:17Speaker 1: was Demi. Uh, it's really no secret that Demi was
- 3:22Speaker 1: very much in a relationship with um Christian with Christian
- 3:29Speaker 1: Christian back back during your season, and and you were
- 3:34Speaker 1: the guy that she led on sort of in waiting
- 3:38Speaker 1: for her to arrive. Yeah. Um, so I gotta hand
- 3:45Speaker 1: it to Demi in some ways, like I feel like
- 3:49Speaker 1: people so okay, okay, okay, I'm gonna give you I
- 3:53Speaker 1: didn't I did. This is just off the top of
- 3:54Speaker 1: my head now. So and this isn't even because like
- 3:57Speaker 1: I had no Demi or whatever, but I feel like
- 4:00Speaker 1: what Demi did emboldened all these people because exactly what
- 4:03Speaker 1: you said, Like I remember when Joe got like crucified
- 4:07Speaker 1: for just having talked to I mean he was also
- 4:10Speaker 1: kind of a I okay, I mean like on the
- 4:15Speaker 1: on the on the show, he was like he had
- 4:19Speaker 1: he had some behind this some moments where he thought
- 4:21Speaker 1: they were behind the scenes, very much like Brendan, you know,
- 4:24Speaker 1: like he was saying Mike thinking that like because there
- 4:29Speaker 1: wasn't a camera directly in his face, that it wasn't
- 4:31Speaker 1: somewhere being recorded. Oh god, that's exactly. I feel like
- 4:36Speaker 1: it's his America's dumbest criminals. Like the Paradise version, there's
- 4:40Speaker 1: so many people who don't who just they think they're
- 4:43Speaker 1: going to get away with so many things. But so
- 4:45Speaker 1: like we saw that there's like other versions of after
- 4:50Speaker 1: like Joe basically um, you know, being hung out to
- 4:54Speaker 1: dry that that happened. And then I think because people
- 4:57Speaker 1: saw Demi get like so much love of for the
- 5:01Speaker 1: way that the like relationship unraveled during like Paradise, and
- 5:06Speaker 1: they they just must have been completely emboldened and not
- 5:09Speaker 1: realized that this was like the number one no no
- 5:12Speaker 1: in the show is don't come on and lie to
- 5:15Speaker 1: the audience like that is you're basically like gas lighting
- 5:21Speaker 1: millions of people and expecting it to turn out fine,
- 5:25Speaker 1: you know. So the reason why I say I think
- 5:27Speaker 1: Demmy's was like a little bit different because frankly, she
- 5:30Speaker 1: actually did come and say like, hey, I was in
- 5:33Speaker 1: a relationship with the girl before, and um, like I
- 5:37Speaker 1: did leave that kind of up in the air, and
- 5:40Speaker 1: so so she did. Honestly, in my response right was like, well,
- 5:43Speaker 1: as long as that's there and I'm here, then I'm
- 5:45Speaker 1: okay with that. But then it came there and like
- 5:48Speaker 1: I mean, frankly, I left not long after. It's very
- 5:51Speaker 1: very hard to sit there and watch that. So that's
- 5:53Speaker 1: why I'm saying, like I can be I'm on the
- 5:55Speaker 1: receiving end for a lot of these people who have
- 5:58Speaker 1: kind of been through it and had to watch that.
- 6:00Speaker 1: And I can say, without a doubt that is so
- 6:03Speaker 1: hard because it's not like normal life. We can walk
- 6:06Speaker 1: away and like find your own space. No, everything is there.
- 6:10Speaker 1: You understand that too, because there's somebody who you were
- 6:13Speaker 1: very much in love with and you had to watch it,
- 6:15Speaker 1: and uh, I think we both shed some tears over
- 6:18Speaker 1: that kind of a scenario. Oh my gosh. Yes, we
- 6:20Speaker 1: were talking about that yesterday with Joe and Kendall. Because
- 6:24Speaker 1: it's like moving on is one thing, but moving on
- 6:27Speaker 1: when you have the direct comparison of the person that
- 6:30Speaker 1: you're trying to move on from in front of you
- 6:32Speaker 1: is just pretty much impossible. Well, you must have been
- 6:36Speaker 1: feeling a lot of irony watching this episode, seeing Demi
- 6:40Speaker 1: get annoyed at at the whole Chris and what's how
- 6:46Speaker 1: do you say that girl's name? I know, I know,
- 6:49Speaker 1: I wrote it down. I had to write it, Okay, okay,
- 6:53Speaker 1: So I actually sat Saffron looked it up for me
- 6:56Speaker 1: because I was like, I don't know what everybody's saying
- 6:58Speaker 1: it differently. I thought it was Atlanta at first, that
- 7:02Speaker 1: as well, Yeah, I've heard people that name that, so
- 7:06Speaker 1: I didn't think it was that crazy. But anyway, at
- 7:09Speaker 1: Atlanta and Chris and She's all like, yeah, get out,
- 7:12Speaker 1: this is so unfair. Yeah, that was That's not been
- 7:17Speaker 1: a good look for I feel like everyone's calling her
- 7:20Speaker 1: out for that. I had my one tweet about it.
- 7:23Speaker 1: I did. I did make one. You know, somebody had
- 7:25Speaker 1: a funny, funny gym face about kind of the hypocrisy there,
- 7:31Speaker 1: and so like I mean other than in the end,
- 7:34Speaker 1: like that mean I wouldn't have been right for each other.
- 7:35Speaker 1: So like it is what it is, you know, and um,
- 7:40Speaker 1: we we've become friends because of that. But you know,
- 7:43Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta call your friends out sometimes when
- 7:45Speaker 1: they're being ridiculous. All right, well, speaking of you, like
- 7:50Speaker 1: not working out with Demi, let's talk about where you
- 7:51Speaker 1: are in your life right now before we go through
- 7:53Speaker 1: the rest of the episode. So you are engaged to
- 7:57Speaker 1: your fiance Saffron. Do you guys have a date? Yeah,
- 8:01Speaker 1: we don't yet. So well, so I'll say this first
- 8:04Speaker 1: of all, this is now an international show. I'm recording
- 8:07Speaker 1: from London, England. A beautiful voice in the background earlier, Yeah, exactly,
- 8:14Speaker 1: so it's eight pm here, um recording. But um yeah,
- 8:20Speaker 1: we it's so hard, like things just open up, rules
- 8:24Speaker 1: just opened up between the countries. So we kind of
- 8:27Speaker 1: want to shoot for something next June, but like we've
- 8:29Speaker 1: been saying that now for five months and it's just
- 8:33Speaker 1: so hard to plan like internationally because we are going
- 8:36Speaker 1: to do it here in England. Um, and it's just
- 8:40Speaker 1: so hard to plan, like with all of the changing
- 8:44Speaker 1: rules internationally. But um yeah, but but I mean very
- 8:49Speaker 1: happily engaged. We um. We met actually with Charlene from
- 8:54Speaker 1: from the Bachelor. I was. I was eating dinner with
- 8:57Speaker 1: Charlene and Andy, and she was just sitting at a
- 9:00Speaker 1: table next to us, um at dinner. And then uh yeah,
- 9:05Speaker 1: and then we ended up, you know, going on some dates,
- 9:07Speaker 1: and I mean just really quickly. You know, coronavirus forced
- 9:12Speaker 1: us to start living together two months in uh, and
- 9:15Speaker 1: that you know, put the fast forward on literally everything,
- 9:18Speaker 1: because um, yeah, we're just living together very quickly. Wow,
- 9:22Speaker 1: that's a crazy story. She's just sitting at the other
- 9:25Speaker 1: table and You're like, that girl's cute. I have to
- 9:27Speaker 1: talk to her. And then did you you like have
- 9:28Speaker 1: a line or something where you just like like hi
- 9:32Speaker 1: person next? I was actually so I I did not.
- 9:38Speaker 1: I was a total wiss with that. But my in
- 9:42Speaker 1: my defense, I had like a date that was meeting
- 9:45Speaker 1: us later that night, and I just like I couldn't
- 9:49Speaker 1: take get it, get myself to be like I'm going
- 9:51Speaker 1: on another like meeting someone else. I'm gonna go ask
- 9:55Speaker 1: this girl like for her number or whatever, And so
- 9:57Speaker 1: I couldn't do it. So luckily one of her friends
- 10:01Speaker 1: had like watched the show. She had just moved to
- 10:03Speaker 1: New York three days earlier, so she like they don't
- 10:07Speaker 1: watch The Bachelor or anything in England. She knew nothing about.
- 10:10Speaker 1: But luckily one of them knew who I was, and
- 10:12Speaker 1: as they were drinking later, they did send me a
- 10:15Speaker 1: d M. And I was very excited because it was
- 10:18Speaker 1: the girl that I had been staring at dinner. Yeah,
- 10:23Speaker 1: and so then um ended things with the other person
- 10:27Speaker 1: and decided to go out with a Saffron very quickly.
- 10:30Speaker 1: That is a great I love when stories like when
- 10:35Speaker 1: cast when Bachelor alum or whatnot, when they don't meet
- 10:39Speaker 1: their significant other through the show. But like, if it
- 10:42Speaker 1: weren't from them being on the show, who knows what
- 10:45Speaker 1: would have happened. That's what I say too about it.
- 10:49Speaker 1: It's like if I wouldn't, Like, people can make any
- 10:52Speaker 1: jokes all they want, but now I've I've got my
- 10:55Speaker 1: you know, future wife because of it. So does she
- 10:58Speaker 1: know what went down with you on these seasons that
- 11:02Speaker 1: you've been on. She went back. So what she told
- 11:07Speaker 1: me was before she went on the date, she didn't
- 11:09Speaker 1: want to see any or hear anything from her friends.
- 11:11Speaker 1: She basically was like, no, I don't want to hear
- 11:13Speaker 1: you know, like I don't want to prejudge anything. And
- 11:16Speaker 1: then afterwards when she was like, yes, I want to
- 11:19Speaker 1: date him. Um, then she went and double checked to
- 11:21Speaker 1: make sure there wasn't anything sketchy out there that you
- 11:27Speaker 1: were engaged with her on the show, you know what. Um,
- 11:33Speaker 1: she was like weirdly very okay with it. I don't know.
- 11:37Speaker 1: I think that she just like understood that, you know,
- 11:41Speaker 1: things don't some things don't work out, and um that
- 11:45Speaker 1: you know, it was kind of like you only know
- 11:49Speaker 1: so much about somebody in such a short window and you,
- 11:51Speaker 1: I mean, you know as well as I do. Making
- 11:54Speaker 1: that decisions so fast on the show is like it's crazy,
- 11:58Speaker 1: It is crazy. We we kind of talked about it,
- 12:01Speaker 1: like it's like are they going to get engaged? But
- 12:03Speaker 1: that is incredibly fast, and so there's no wonder why,
- 12:07Speaker 1: like so many engagements are end like end that are
- 12:11Speaker 1: to happen on the show, and why engagements that maybe
- 12:14Speaker 1: happen off the show or like at a later date
- 12:16Speaker 1: end up, you know, like you and Jared uh working
- 12:20Speaker 1: on in a much more healthy way. Like Adam and
- 12:24Speaker 1: Raven two Uh yeah, Kevin and Asterid those are all
- 12:28Speaker 1: people who waited. Yeah they got, they got they just left,
- 12:33Speaker 1: as you know, in a relationship or with each other.
- 12:36Speaker 1: Did you at all feel like being engaged prior took
- 12:40Speaker 1: away from like this proposal, like you had to get
- 12:43Speaker 1: down on one knee twice. Just a reminder to the
- 12:45Speaker 1: audience that you were engaged to Taylor Nolan beforehand. Wow,
- 12:50Speaker 1: really going? I think I need to I should have
- 12:53Speaker 1: free written some tough interview questions because I know how
- 12:56Speaker 1: tough you love to get on this. Uh, didn't water
- 13:00Speaker 1: it down for me? No, because this is like, this
- 13:03Speaker 1: is the woman that's going to be in my life,
- 13:04Speaker 1: you know, like I knew I know that, and um,
- 13:07Speaker 1: I wasn't thinking at all about anybody else, you know
- 13:10Speaker 1: at that point. That's good. That's kind of like you
- 13:12Speaker 1: can kind of consider it like not a real engagement,
- 13:17Speaker 1: Like does that sound horrible the one that you had prior?
- 13:21Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna say while you're doing it, it's
- 13:27Speaker 1: horrible if you consider it not a real engagement, Like
- 13:31Speaker 1: you need to feel like it's real. You should. I've
- 13:34Speaker 1: talked to people about that before that I've like kind
- 13:37Speaker 1: of gone through that process and then ended it, and
- 13:39Speaker 1: they've said that they felt like it wasn't real, and
- 13:41Speaker 1: then that made like everything else feel not real, like
- 13:45Speaker 1: they were just acting in their whole life. And so
- 13:49Speaker 1: I don't know if you like make yourself believe it
- 13:51Speaker 1: more or you um like you know through it. But
- 13:56Speaker 1: I always felt like, no, I am, like I'm making
- 14:00Speaker 1: this real life, you know, but I'm not gonna lie
- 14:03Speaker 1: like I honest normal person. I think as you like
- 14:07Speaker 1: get further away from it, it becomes easier to be like,
- 14:11Speaker 1: you know what, like there was a lot of pressure
- 14:13Speaker 1: around me from other people to do that, whether it's
- 14:16Speaker 1: people on social media or like you know, other cast
- 14:20Speaker 1: members or like producers, whatever. It is, like, it's not
- 14:24Speaker 1: hidden that that's that there's pressure to you know, normally
- 14:27Speaker 1: in your normal life, there's not somebody who's like, hey,
- 14:30Speaker 1: you want to take this ring and go That's not
- 14:33Speaker 1: a normal thing. You know this, It's not some hidden secret.
- 14:37Speaker 1: So now I asked just because there are so many
- 14:39Speaker 1: couples that get engaged at the end of the main
- 14:41Speaker 1: show Bachelor, Bachelorette and they're like, you know, yeah, I
- 14:46Speaker 1: have a ring on my finger, but we're dating now,
- 14:48Speaker 1: you know, see, I think that's that's the that's a
- 14:51Speaker 1: sign that it's then I really I yeah, I really
- 14:55Speaker 1: don't think I don't think. I think if you're then
- 14:57Speaker 1: why did you get why did you take the ring?
- 14:59Speaker 1: Like why don't you have that conversation with somebody that's
- 15:01Speaker 1: that's like, look, I just want to date you, you know,
- 15:04Speaker 1: I think people would respect that more. So I'm gonna
- 15:06Speaker 1: spend this back around out of an interview of Darren
- 15:12Speaker 1: and back to the show. But that's where it's like,
- 15:16Speaker 1: I think, if you're pretending to be someone on TV
- 15:19Speaker 1: and you're pretending in your real life is different, Like
- 15:23Speaker 1: that's a recipe for a disaster, and that's like exactly
- 15:26Speaker 1: what's happening with all these people, you know, because I
- 15:29Speaker 1: so I tried to write him all down, so Brendan
- 15:32Speaker 1: and had a great job switching this because I was
- 15:34Speaker 1: literally going to bring it to this like, who the
- 15:37Speaker 1: heck can actually get engaged at the end of this? Alright?
- 15:41Speaker 1: So oh yeah, but I'm with you on that. Who
- 15:44Speaker 1: I like, I'm not seeing anybody when I'm going this
- 15:47Speaker 1: would make sense right now, guys, audience, I think that
- 15:51Speaker 1: there might be like seven days left right now, seven
- 15:56Speaker 1: days ish until these people are supposed to get down
- 15:59Speaker 1: on one knee. Yeah, I wonder if that's why they're
- 16:02Speaker 1: spreading him out to be one episode each week to
- 16:04Speaker 1: make us feel like it's more realised. I mean, I
- 16:09Speaker 1: will say Joe and uh oh Serena. Sorry, yes, Serena,
- 16:16Speaker 1: that's right. I didn't write anything down because they weren't
- 16:18Speaker 1: in this episode and I always forget her name. Um,
- 16:21Speaker 1: but they I know that like everything happened with Kendall
- 16:24Speaker 1: and that that's like a hit too. It could be
- 16:27Speaker 1: like a hit to that, But frankly, they've been I
- 16:29Speaker 1: think the most like you know about it, and that
- 16:33Speaker 1: could maybe bring them closer. It might be the only
- 16:36Speaker 1: one that I can see. They seem good, but they
- 16:38Speaker 1: seem that strong. I don't know, because just the last
- 16:42Speaker 1: time we really saw them interact, well, I guess they
- 16:45Speaker 1: were talking about Kendall, but before that they were talking
- 16:47Speaker 1: about like how they spell your last name. It just
- 16:51Speaker 1: I just feel like we haven't seen enough of that.
- 16:53Speaker 1: But I also feel like we were left almost on
- 16:55Speaker 1: a cliffhanger with Joe and Kendall. They opened the whole
- 16:59Speaker 1: week right like this is the storyline that we've all
- 17:01Speaker 1: been waiting for, and then we get ten fifteen minutes
- 17:07Speaker 1: and you're thinking, Oh, it's going to definitely be brought
- 17:09Speaker 1: up again. On Tuesday's episode Nothing, we basically go four
- 17:13Speaker 1: hours without any more Joe and Kendall's stuff. We're going
- 17:16Speaker 1: into like this coming Monday will be a Rose ceremony,
- 17:21Speaker 1: so like what I mean, but also how is Kendall
- 17:27Speaker 1: going to still be well? I my my thought is
- 17:30Speaker 1: that she's probably gonna have another serious conversation with him
- 17:34Speaker 1: during the rose ceremony, cocktail our thing or like seven hours,
- 17:39Speaker 1: you know exactly hour and then especially paradise those things
- 17:46Speaker 1: and tell what like six am and were to like
- 17:50Speaker 1: fourth thirty that I feel like they're going to have
- 17:54Speaker 1: this thing where he's gonna be like, no, I really
- 17:57Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything here for us to continue
- 17:59Speaker 1: to explain or and then she's just going to go home.
- 18:02Speaker 1: This is my faery. But she's not talking to anybody,
- 18:06Speaker 1: and like there's it's the next episode. That's why I
- 18:09Speaker 1: want to know, like, are you guys actually talking, because
- 18:12Speaker 1: like I want you guys to like fully, uh get
- 18:17Speaker 1: this out. You know, this is your last chance. You
- 18:20Speaker 1: need to like exhaust all options here. I know I
- 18:25Speaker 1: know that like Ben probably will hate listening to this
- 18:29Speaker 1: if he does Ben listen to this while you're recovering
- 18:32Speaker 1: from your niece. Check check up on me. I missed you,
- 18:35Speaker 1: by the way, I need to text you. Um, So
- 18:39Speaker 1: I want to just skip ahead since we're talking about
- 18:41Speaker 1: Joe to how amazingly like a like Chicago gangster Joe.
- 18:46Speaker 1: My god, I was gonna tell. I was gonna say
- 18:50Speaker 1: it was the mafia between Riley and him, sob and
- 18:58Speaker 1: stereotype and you're good and funny right now? Oh yeah,
- 19:04Speaker 1: was Riley was his was his mafia lawyer basically because
- 19:09Speaker 1: he's a lawyer, right yeah. And like when I told
- 19:12Speaker 1: when I explained that to Saffron, she was like, oh, yes,
- 19:15Speaker 1: that makes total sense now why he's because she was like,
- 19:18Speaker 1: why is he getting involved in that? And I was like, oh,
- 19:20Speaker 1: he's a lawyer, so we know that he's like very
- 19:23Speaker 1: practiced in that. But I way, I wrote down what
- 19:25Speaker 1: Joe wrote, and he just kept being like, I think
- 19:28Speaker 1: he's got to go. I can't help it. But I
- 19:36Speaker 1: feel I feel like I thought PAULI was gonna have
- 19:38Speaker 1: to come down and take this Chris dude out of here. Okay,
- 19:41Speaker 1: we're gonna have to talk about christ in a little while.
- 19:43Speaker 1: You guys, this has been really fun so far, but
- 19:45Speaker 1: we have to take a break and then we'll dive
- 19:46Speaker 1: into the episode and more of a chronological order. You're back,
- 19:57Speaker 1: all right, guys. We have special guests on the line.
- 20:00Speaker 1: Name is Aaron. She's a commentator for The Ultimate Surfer,
- 20:04Speaker 1: which is the show that follows the Bachelor and Bachelor
- 20:07Speaker 1: in Paradise on ABC. And tonight we have some special
- 20:12Speaker 1: alluh of Bachelor lums making an appearance. So hello, Aaron,
- 20:17Speaker 1: is so good to have you on here. Hi you guys,
- 20:20Speaker 1: thanks for having me of course. So what is Mike
- 20:24Speaker 1: Johnson and Hannah an Sluice? What are they doing on
- 20:28Speaker 1: the show tonight? So each and every week we like
- 20:33Speaker 1: to just uh make it nice and difficult for our
- 20:37Speaker 1: competitive surfers that are competing for the chance to be
- 20:40Speaker 1: crowned the Ultimate Surfer, and we like to throw in
- 20:43Speaker 1: some you know, complications and see how you can handle
- 20:47Speaker 1: things on the fly. And uh, tonight's episode you can
- 20:50Speaker 1: check out. We're going to give them an opportunity to teach,
- 20:54Speaker 1: to be the teacher and see if they can teach
- 20:58Speaker 1: Mike and Hannah how to surf and Hannah and Mike
- 21:01Speaker 1: will I don't know if it's giving a rose because
- 21:03Speaker 1: I actually didn't get to see this part, which I
- 21:06Speaker 1: heard was absolutely super fun and incredible. I didn't get
- 21:08Speaker 1: to be there on set. Um. I was doing my
- 21:11Speaker 1: own thing. But uh, they basically crown who they believe
- 21:15Speaker 1: is the best teacher. And I don't know if you
- 21:18Speaker 1: guys have been able to surf or if you've attempted to.
- 21:21Speaker 1: I tried. It's hard. I've tried before. I'm laughing already
- 21:26Speaker 1: at the idea of Mike trying to surf because I
- 21:29Speaker 1: know how tall he is, and it is the tall
- 21:32Speaker 1: you are very, very very hard to stand up. Yeah. Yeah,
- 21:38Speaker 1: And that's why you know, I feel like being a
- 21:42Speaker 1: teacher of surfing isn't as easy as it looks. And
- 21:45Speaker 1: so you know, like if you were to look at
- 21:47Speaker 1: me and try to surf, I might be a cat
- 21:49Speaker 1: on a surfboard, no joke. And so you may see
- 21:52Speaker 1: that today when it comes to Mike and Hannah, because
- 21:55Speaker 1: picking up surfing is really really hard. So you're gonna
- 21:59Speaker 1: get some good an or tame it. Um. I think
- 22:01Speaker 1: when you watch tonight's show, especially for Bachelor Nation, that's
- 22:06Speaker 1: for sure. Why did you guys select the two of them?
- 22:09Speaker 1: Out of all Bachelor alum to learn how to surf
- 22:12Speaker 1: on TV. Well, I mean maybe they've volunteered. I don't
- 22:17Speaker 1: know how they got to be the lucky ones, but um,
- 22:21Speaker 1: the good news is I think they're inexperienced, and so
- 22:25Speaker 1: that was definitely what we wanted to What we wanted
- 22:29Speaker 1: to portray to the fan that's tuning in is an
- 22:32Speaker 1: overall sense of appreciation that maybe it looks easy, but
- 22:36Speaker 1: when it comes down to it, it's really hard. And
- 22:39Speaker 1: so um, I think that that's what you're gonna get,
- 22:41Speaker 1: a fun little dose of understanding how challenging it really
- 22:45Speaker 1: is to get on a surfboard. And if you guys
- 22:47Speaker 1: at home have never tried take a board, get out
- 22:50Speaker 1: on the water and attempt it is it is not
- 22:53Speaker 1: easy for me. And you know, I'm from so cal
- 22:56Speaker 1: I grew up surfing during the summers and it's embarrassing
- 23:00Speaker 1: you try to get me on a surfboard. So I
- 23:02Speaker 1: think that they were just up for the challenge, and
- 23:04Speaker 1: they were the lucky ones, let's be honest. Very interesting. No,
- 23:09Speaker 1: I'm not doubting how hard it would be. I can't
- 23:12Speaker 1: even get on like a boogie board in a pool,
- 23:15Speaker 1: so um, okay, So where are we in the season
- 23:20Speaker 1: right now? Is it easy to catch up? Can people
- 23:22Speaker 1: who are watching Bachelor in Paradise tonight easily just go
- 23:25Speaker 1: in and start watching um The Ultimate Surfer? Yes, yes, yes, yes,
- 23:29Speaker 1: tonight is episode six that we have, including tonight, three
- 23:34Speaker 1: more episodes, okay, um, And everybody that I've talked to,
- 23:39Speaker 1: for whatever reason, they just feel like it sucks them
- 23:42Speaker 1: in from the beginning, and the surfing has gotten better
- 23:45Speaker 1: and better. So if you're kind of into alliances, there's
- 23:49Speaker 1: a little backstabbing and you see some strategy, and of
- 23:52Speaker 1: course it's perfect for Bachelor Nation who are already tuned
- 23:55Speaker 1: in the Bachelor in Paradise to kind of just get
- 23:58Speaker 1: into another surf show, which I feel like was It's
- 24:01Speaker 1: so great because it's truly like escapism at its finest.
- 24:04Speaker 1: It's like beautiful people on surfboards wiping out surfing incredible. Um,
- 24:10Speaker 1: and then you're gonna get a great little surprise with
- 24:12Speaker 1: Bachelor Nation for Hannah and Mike tonight. So I tuned
- 24:16Speaker 1: in tonight to nine Central on ABC. Or if you
- 24:20Speaker 1: guys want to catch up on on the entirety of
- 24:22Speaker 1: the season, check out Hulu because we're streaming there and
- 24:25Speaker 1: you can you can get all the other episodes that
- 24:27Speaker 1: UM have aired so far. I got a question on
- 24:30Speaker 1: Instagram last week. Somebody asked, why does nobody get into
- 24:35Speaker 1: the water in Paradise. It looks like nobody's out there slipping,
- 24:38Speaker 1: And I said, because there is an extreme undertow. It's
- 24:43Speaker 1: really scary. I got sucked in there before, Derek. Did
- 24:46Speaker 1: you experience that one person? And I don't remember who
- 24:50Speaker 1: it was because it was like a while back, but um,
- 24:54Speaker 1: the first season I was, I was on Paradise. They
- 24:56Speaker 1: actually do have some surfboards there, and he like, yeah,
- 25:00Speaker 1: act it before the lifeguards who were there could notice,
- 25:03Speaker 1: and went out and was just kind of like paddling
- 25:05Speaker 1: around and the undertow suddenly took him out about I'm
- 25:08Speaker 1: not kidding, like probably seventy yards out there, like past. Yeah,
- 25:15Speaker 1: and he was not sure how to handle that, so
- 25:17Speaker 1: that they did have to go and like pull pull
- 25:19Speaker 1: him in and save him. Um. So, I mean I
- 25:22Speaker 1: think that that would have been the first unseen Bachelor
- 25:25Speaker 1: attempting to surf. Uh So, I'm sure it's gonna be
- 25:29Speaker 1: that was unseen. I'm sure that it's gonna be very
- 25:31Speaker 1: fun and uh, you know, a good reminder to see
- 25:34Speaker 1: some Bachelor people on actually attempt with some with some
- 25:38Speaker 1: good professional teachers who know what they're doing. Yeah, um, Aaron,
- 25:44Speaker 1: do you see that at all? Like is there any
- 25:46Speaker 1: danger scare moments? Yeah? Well, you know, it's really interesting.
- 25:51Speaker 1: So I interviewed the CEO of the World Surf League
- 25:54Speaker 1: last night before episode five, Eric Logan, and he brought
- 25:59Speaker 1: up a really interesting point. The show is served at
- 26:02Speaker 1: the Surf Ranch and it's not on the north shore
- 26:05Speaker 1: of Oahu, where let's say, you know, a leg of
- 26:09Speaker 1: the Championship tour is on pipeline, as he had mentioned,
- 26:13Speaker 1: is incredibly dangerous for the surfers who haven't surved before.
- 26:18Speaker 1: So exactly what you're saying ash that the undertow it's
- 26:22Speaker 1: just dangerous and maybe Bachelor and Paradise doesn't want to
- 26:25Speaker 1: know come out and be rescued by some lifeguard with
- 26:29Speaker 1: a booie. Um, maybe he was just he or she
- 26:32Speaker 1: just doesn't want to face that reality because it really
- 26:35Speaker 1: is challenging. And that's why we ended up having the
- 26:38Speaker 1: show at the surf ranch because it's a little bit safer.
- 26:41Speaker 1: It's waves on demand and you know, it's a little bit.
- 26:45Speaker 1: I think the competition it levels the playing field, so
- 26:48Speaker 1: everybody sort of gets the exact same wave as opposed to,
- 26:51Speaker 1: like you said, in the ocean where it is actually
- 26:54Speaker 1: really dangerous. It's like the perfect mash up, the perfect
- 26:58Speaker 1: mash up for whoever DMG that Yeah, yes, all right,
- 27:02Speaker 1: Well guys, thank you so much Aaron for coming on
- 27:05Speaker 1: and you guys out there. It's after Bachelor in Paradise tonight.
- 27:09Speaker 1: Three more episodes left with the Ultimate Surfer on ABC.
- 27:14Speaker 1: Thank you Aaron, by you guys, thank you for thank
- 27:19Speaker 1: you so much. Alright, take it easy, see later to bye.
- 27:31Speaker 1: Al Right, so let's we'll get into the Chris. The
- 27:35Speaker 1: Chris drama is what dominates this entire episode. Um. But
- 27:40Speaker 1: at first we have well we have our new host
- 27:43Speaker 1: walk into the room, and that is Titus Burgess. Is
- 27:48Speaker 1: am I was saying that right, because he sent multiple
- 27:51Speaker 1: times it sounded like he was saying tight ass well
- 27:55Speaker 1: he was singing everything as well. He would probably appreciate that.
- 28:01Speaker 1: I know. I was like, is he trying to make
- 28:02Speaker 1: a pun on his name and it's a tight ass
- 28:04Speaker 1: party he did? Yeah, tight as part? Okay, yeah, okay, yeah, yeah,
- 28:11Speaker 1: I think that is a pun. Alright, so he kind
- 28:17Speaker 1: of announces that there's gonna be this v I P party. Yeah,
- 28:21Speaker 1: and the people who are invited are Becca Aaron, Noah,
- 28:28Speaker 1: Abigail Kenny, Jena, Chris, Deandra Riley, James Thomas, and Demi.
- 28:34Speaker 1: And at first, I'm like, this is lame invite list,
- 28:38Speaker 1: because like, these people are either coupled up or they're
- 28:41Speaker 1: so strongly coupled up with somebody back at home and
- 28:44Speaker 1: nothing's going to happen. But we were wrong because Chris
- 28:47Speaker 1: obviously it was dating somebody at home name yeah, um
- 28:53Speaker 1: we had oh Aleah was there to Elena. That was
- 28:58Speaker 1: very confusing. That was very confusing Alia and Elena, and
- 29:02Speaker 1: it's almost as if they didn't even announce Elena. She
- 29:08Speaker 1: really went under the radar. There was Kenna who also
- 29:12Speaker 1: showed up, and so did Chelsea. And my best guess
- 29:17Speaker 1: is that Aliah wait, no, Elena, Elena and Nickenna both
- 29:24Speaker 1: aren't even going to make further appearances. I think they're
- 29:28Speaker 1: just I think they just went to the two. I
- 29:31Speaker 1: agree with you. I think it's just the two. Well,
- 29:33Speaker 1: this is like, so, when uh, when JPJ decided to
- 29:38Speaker 1: make a I forgot all about this this. Yeah, you
- 29:43Speaker 1: were there. I think I was talking to you guys
- 29:48Speaker 1: when that started. Actually yeah, but all that so that
- 29:54Speaker 1: was like a similar thing. You know, they had like
- 29:55Speaker 1: a bunch of people come and it wasn't like explicitly said,
- 29:59Speaker 1: but then a few people did come back to like
- 30:03Speaker 1: Paradise because of that, and they made it like more explicit.
- 30:06Speaker 1: I think, you know as well as I do, Like
- 30:08Speaker 1: I would be interested to know, first of all, what
- 30:10Speaker 1: kind of music and stuff. It's it was weird to
- 30:12Speaker 1: see them at this party like dancing and whatever, but
- 30:16Speaker 1: there's like not the energy that usually is there from
- 30:20Speaker 1: going out because it's just like this small group of people.
- 30:22Speaker 1: I can feel that being really uncomfortable. But it is
- 30:26Speaker 1: awesome to leave when you've been stuck there for like
- 30:28Speaker 1: two weeks. So I think people like they know that
- 30:32Speaker 1: the second that people leave and they introduce new people,
- 30:35Speaker 1: it's like a recipe for people to just forget about
- 30:37Speaker 1: whoever was at the beach. It's very much like the
- 30:41Speaker 1: wedding when you guys went to Crystal and Chris's wedding,
- 30:43Speaker 1: because you're getting a different environments that already gives you
- 30:46Speaker 1: some sort of like different mentality, mentality and then yeah,
- 30:50Speaker 1: a party atmosphere. Uh so, guys, we see that Chris
- 30:58Speaker 1: Chris SE's Elena, and all of a sudden everything is
- 31:03Speaker 1: done with him in Jena and it is the weirdest
- 31:06Speaker 1: thing ever because he literally makes that with her in
- 31:09Speaker 1: what seems to be like five minutes after she walks in,
- 31:12Speaker 1: with just a total disregard to Jasnia complete gosh, I
- 31:17Speaker 1: felt so bad when she saw that. But but then
- 31:20Speaker 1: the other thing is they were not hiding anything. How
- 31:25Speaker 1: Like that was so much lack of even just social awareness.
- 31:28Speaker 1: Who does that just in front of we already have
- 31:32Speaker 1: to like remove some barriers of course because we're you're
- 31:34Speaker 1: on the show, and like yeah, when you kiss somebody,
- 31:37Speaker 1: there's camera and stuff, but like that much lack of
- 31:40Speaker 1: awareness where everybody else is sitting there watching you, it
- 31:44Speaker 1: seems incredibly weird disregard, like just like so emotionally reckless.
- 31:53Speaker 1: Recoss is right on both their parts too, not not
- 31:56Speaker 1: just like Chris. But what did we expect though? And
- 32:00Speaker 1: what I'm sorry, what did you sendy expect from Mr
- 32:03Speaker 1: smoke Bro? Yeah, I guess you know. And also I'm
- 32:08Speaker 1: sorry to throw this out there. I feel like this
- 32:11Speaker 1: is like something that people are probably gonna forget pretty
- 32:15Speaker 1: quickly or have forgotten. But just said, you kind of
- 32:18Speaker 1: did this to Ivan just now, like there is she's
- 32:24Speaker 1: coming in hot. But I think like there's a lot
- 32:27Speaker 1: of I'm the victim going on because then later on
- 32:30Speaker 1: Tammy kind of does the same thing. But these people
- 32:33Speaker 1: kind of have and and what oh and what's her name?
- 32:37Speaker 1: U Mari kind of dug her own grave as well.
- 32:40Speaker 1: Like there's a lot of people here who have just
- 32:43Speaker 1: like not been thinking about two steps ahead. Yeah, the
- 32:46Speaker 1: karma kind of comes back around for these people. Yeah,
- 32:49Speaker 1: like I do think if you want to call a karma,
- 32:51Speaker 1: I mean, like you can't help your where your heart
- 32:53Speaker 1: leads you. But well, all right, Chris, that sounds like
- 32:57Speaker 1: something Chris wrote to say on this episode, though he
- 33:01Speaker 1: kept talking about that my bad, you can do it
- 33:05Speaker 1: was tact and like and you know, respect and all that,
- 33:10Speaker 1: which just Senya did it with more respect back when
- 33:14Speaker 1: she did it to Ivan. However, at the end of
- 33:18Speaker 1: the day, it's not that much different. Yeah, I'm I'm
- 33:21Speaker 1: giving Gesennia did this much more tactually than Chris. But
- 33:25Speaker 1: but I still I gotta I gotta say that we
- 33:28Speaker 1: need some people looking in the mirror here a little bit. Okay, good,
- 33:33Speaker 1: good job to putting that out. Back at the beach,
- 33:36Speaker 1: we see like Tammy's freaking out because she's like, what
- 33:39Speaker 1: if Thomas meets somebody there? Yeah, and everybody has a
- 33:43Speaker 1: general sense of anxiety, understandably, especially when then just Senda
- 33:49Speaker 1: came back though and said yeah, then, like Marissa was
- 33:54Speaker 1: breaking down to they all, nobody was feeling very secure, know,
- 34:01Speaker 1: and I can just see in Tammy's face when she
- 34:03Speaker 1: saw the Senda come down shot, you know, because just
- 34:08Speaker 1: Send He's like, there's like you know, he's there's a girl,
- 34:11Speaker 1: and there's a girl. And then like you could tell,
- 34:13Speaker 1: Tammy's like, what girl? What girls? Tell me everything? I'm
- 34:16Speaker 1: supposed to care about you right now. I know you're
- 34:18Speaker 1: really upset, but like I'm really really worried about myself. Yeah, exactly. Okay,
- 34:23Speaker 1: So the next day we have that Mari and Kenny
- 34:28Speaker 1: conversation where they kind of say to each other, let's
- 34:33Speaker 1: just revamp this. It's back to the two of us.
- 34:36Speaker 1: We really like, I was really scared because I like
- 34:39Speaker 1: you so much. I've never had feelings like this before.
- 34:41Speaker 1: They both say that they've never felt these feelings before,
- 34:45Speaker 1: and I mean, do you buy it again? I don't
- 34:49Speaker 1: feel it? Yes, No, I was first of all, after
- 35:00Speaker 1: what I just said about like that, a lot of
- 35:01Speaker 1: people Doug your own grave. What show did Mari think
- 35:05Speaker 1: she was going on? Because her timing before and I know,
- 35:09Speaker 1: like you guys have talked about this already for her,
- 35:12Speaker 1: because why would you time. I don't know if I
- 35:15Speaker 1: want to be with you when you aren't capable of
- 35:19Speaker 1: like seeing anybody new, when nobody already asked you on
- 35:23Speaker 1: a date. It's like nobody has shown any interest and
- 35:26Speaker 1: you haven't shown any interests, So why are you ending
- 35:29Speaker 1: this now? Well? I was confused with that with Abigail
- 35:31Speaker 1: and Noah too, I'm like, it's totally it's going great.
- 35:35Speaker 1: Why are you ending this when it's why ending this now?
- 35:39Speaker 1: And then again they rekindled Yeah, and yeah, they definitely did.
- 35:44Speaker 1: I mean, we don't see much of them, so I
- 35:46Speaker 1: guess I don't think they're like yeah, yeah, I don't.
- 35:51Speaker 1: I feel like they aren't either. Um. I mean Kenny,
- 35:57Speaker 1: I feel like clearly loves to be in the He's
- 35:59Speaker 1: like one of those guys that doesn't cause the drama,
- 36:02Speaker 1: but he clearly loves to be involved in it. I mean,
- 36:05Speaker 1: it's got to be reason and I'm sorry, but he's
- 36:08Speaker 1: like forty and not been in a relationship and a
- 36:10Speaker 1: boy band manager. Being involved in a lot of drama
- 36:13Speaker 1: seems like, let's write that on his card as well. Um,
- 36:18Speaker 1: like he definitely most guys wouldn't be like, oh, you're
- 36:23Speaker 1: not into me, let me go sleep with another girl
- 36:25Speaker 1: who's living in the same room as you. You know,
- 36:29Speaker 1: what a decision to make. So I mean they're they're reconciling.
- 36:33Speaker 1: I don't think this goes anywhere, but good for him
- 36:37Speaker 1: for maybe choosing someone who's like he cares about a
- 36:40Speaker 1: little bit more. I don't know. Do you think that
- 36:42Speaker 1: Mari has any idea that Demi and him had sex? Oh?
- 36:48Speaker 1: I don't know, that's right. She hasn't talked about that.
- 36:51Speaker 1: That could be a bomb. That could be a bomb
- 36:54Speaker 1: that doesn't happen until after the show is over and
- 36:56Speaker 1: he has to tell her. Oh, that's like the reunion
- 36:59Speaker 1: show kind of thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't think
- 37:04Speaker 1: Mari is talking like someone who knows that. I think
- 37:05Speaker 1: you're right. I know. Okay, Well, then we get to
- 37:08Speaker 1: the point where Demi basically says, how are you breaking
- 37:11Speaker 1: up with me? She's so mean, she's so naughty, She's
- 37:14Speaker 1: the meanest ever, and you had sex with me. Demi
- 37:21Speaker 1: has an ego problem. We know that, we do. I mean,
- 37:23Speaker 1: it's her entire reaction to everything this season has been
- 37:28Speaker 1: because of a bruise ego. I feel she's just astonished
- 37:32Speaker 1: at the fact that, like, maybe she's not somebody's top choice. Yeah,
- 37:36Speaker 1: as she is definitely not used to hear no, Like
- 37:39Speaker 1: we can we can see that. Um. I couldn't say, now,
- 37:44Speaker 1: all right, I'm not better than any of this, but um,
- 37:49Speaker 1: she went in hard. I'm so like, this was surprising
- 37:52Speaker 1: me that she went in so hard on Mari instead
- 37:55Speaker 1: of just like being more real with Kenny. Like she
- 37:59Speaker 1: definitely completely made sure that there was no chance with Kenny,
- 38:03Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like going to that route
- 38:06Speaker 1: is um, I don't. I don't know that he even
- 38:10Speaker 1: was sure yet, but I think she like settled it
- 38:13Speaker 1: that he was for him at least, that he was
- 38:15Speaker 1: making the right decision. She's like, I'm so much fun.
- 38:20Speaker 1: How can you know what I feel? With me? It
- 38:23Speaker 1: was just funny. I'm like, Demi you're you have so
- 38:26Speaker 1: many sides to you, and sometimes I just sometimes I'm like,
- 38:32Speaker 1: this is a band, and I talked about this yesterday,
- 38:35Speaker 1: but I'm like, I feel like you present yourself a
- 38:37Speaker 1: such a tough cookie that you shouldn't even let this
- 38:40Speaker 1: bother you, And I can't believe you're letting a guy
- 38:42Speaker 1: like Kenny get to Yeah. I think, um, I think
- 38:47Speaker 1: Demi is one of those people. And this is why
- 38:49Speaker 1: I like she can seem so chaotic on the show,
- 38:53Speaker 1: because like I do think we like we try to
- 38:55Speaker 1: put everybody in a box, and let's be frank, like,
- 38:57Speaker 1: most of most of us fit in a box. But
- 39:00Speaker 1: I think she's one of the people that can't be
- 39:03Speaker 1: like put in a box, and so that's why she
- 39:06Speaker 1: confuses a lot of people. When you're watching, you don't
- 39:10Speaker 1: think that she she'd come across as desperate, but there
- 39:13Speaker 1: were multiple times where she comes across as desperate because
- 39:15Speaker 1: she was like, let's go to the boom boom room
- 39:17Speaker 1: and I was like, oh my god, cringe, cringe, cringe.
- 39:19Speaker 1: And then the next morning she was like, I think
- 39:21Speaker 1: she gets a boom bom room again. I'm like, oh
- 39:23Speaker 1: my god. Yeah, and then and then she cries about
- 39:28Speaker 1: feeling being so desperate because she realized it's how desperate
- 39:31Speaker 1: she was. Well, she's silf aware in those moments, and
- 39:34Speaker 1: I like that. That's fun, that's true. Well, so then
- 39:38Speaker 1: Atlanta actually comes in, right, Can we talk about Atlanta
- 39:42Speaker 1: and the fact that she doesn't seem like she has
- 39:44Speaker 1: a brain up there. I don't again, who have these
- 39:50Speaker 1: people watched this show? She seems to not have any
- 39:54Speaker 1: clue like what is happening or what's going on? One
- 39:58Speaker 1: she seems like she's a I see personality to the
- 40:02Speaker 1: fact that they ever thought that this plan was going
- 40:05Speaker 1: to work in their favor is just demented. Like I mean,
- 40:10Speaker 1: I hate to say it, I'm gonna say this. Uh,
- 40:15Speaker 1: there's a very clear like I think we've seen this
- 40:18Speaker 1: before or two. There's a very clear distinction between like
- 40:21Speaker 1: people who maybe left that night one or night too,
- 40:25Speaker 1: who didn't really ever get their chance on like the
- 40:29Speaker 1: Bachelor or Bachelor atte and that they kind of they
- 40:33Speaker 1: put this bravado out there in their own lives like
- 40:36Speaker 1: oh I was on the show, and then they come
- 40:39Speaker 1: back to Paradise and it's so clear like they just
- 40:42Speaker 1: totally screwed up because they're coming in with that same
- 40:46Speaker 1: kind of like cockiness almost and all of these other
- 40:49Speaker 1: people have been there too, and it's like, bro, why
- 40:53Speaker 1: do you think, why are you talking like your special?
- 40:55Speaker 1: We also were on the show, and we do you
- 40:57Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like it's almost as if they're
- 40:59Speaker 1: like a little bit embarrassed and then they come in
- 41:01Speaker 1: to try and like put this out there. I think
- 41:03Speaker 1: both of them came in with that almost like overconfident,
- 41:07Speaker 1: especially thinking that they could get this over on the
- 41:09Speaker 1: producers who know everything. It's almost like it was like
- 41:14Speaker 1: a reaction of being insecure though, so like you're saying
- 41:17Speaker 1: it's like over cocky, it's being you know, cocky, but
- 41:21Speaker 1: at the same time, I think it's out of security. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 41:27Speaker 1: it's a response. I think you're right. I think you're right.
- 41:30Speaker 1: So okay, it just seems odd. They never admitted unlike
- 41:34Speaker 1: Brendan and Piper, we don't have any sound bites of
- 41:39Speaker 1: them being like, can you believe how many follows I
- 41:43Speaker 1: got after the s Weekly article and like all that.
- 41:46Speaker 1: We don't have proof that they actually got together prior
- 41:50Speaker 1: to the show for followers. But they also don't really
- 41:53Speaker 1: deny it at all right, Yeah, they're not really like
- 41:57Speaker 1: that's not especially when Joe and Riley are like going
- 42:01Speaker 1: in hard on Chris later, they're not beating around the
- 42:05Speaker 1: Yeah they're not. He's not saying no, I didn't do that,
- 42:09Speaker 1: because I think that he knows. I think I think
- 42:11Speaker 1: at that point he's like, oh and and Riley even
- 42:14Speaker 1: brought up the d M S. I think at that
- 42:16Speaker 1: point he's like, oh, no, who has what you know
- 42:19Speaker 1: what I mean, like you see it on his face.
- 42:21Speaker 1: And I really think that's why he's like, I do
- 42:24Speaker 1: need to leave, like I need to cut my losses
- 42:26Speaker 1: because they got me, they caught me. Well, just Sena
- 42:30Speaker 1: makes a point to say that Alah Lena Alia Alia
- 42:36Speaker 1: was there when they when Chris and her initially met
- 42:41Speaker 1: in San Diego, So it sounds like there was like
- 42:43Speaker 1: this meet up in San Diego where just Sena met Chris,
- 42:46Speaker 1: and then the only other girl there that was swarting
- 42:49Speaker 1: with him as well was Elena or Leia sorry guys.
- 42:53Speaker 1: And then but Jena felt like she had the upper
- 42:57Speaker 1: hand on that. She said that I was seeming desperate,
- 43:03Speaker 1: so I guess it was a turn of events for
- 43:05Speaker 1: for her to see that obviously he didn't think that
- 43:08Speaker 1: she was being desperate, and it looks as if they
- 43:10Speaker 1: had hung out multiple times since that group hang out.
- 43:16Speaker 1: I didn't look this up. Do you know where just
- 43:17Speaker 1: Senny lives? No? But I know that she was at
- 43:20Speaker 1: that San Diego hangout. Yeah, I know that too. I
- 43:23Speaker 1: want to know who lives awhere now. But I because
- 43:27Speaker 1: I feel like that's a big part that could be
- 43:29Speaker 1: a big part of like did Chris and Elenna, Like
- 43:35Speaker 1: were they hanging out and nobody really knew because they
- 43:38Speaker 1: just lived close And we're doing it under like raps
- 43:41Speaker 1: kind of Um, do you know what I'm saying? Like
- 43:45Speaker 1: in his just Sendy living somewhere else, like I think
- 43:48Speaker 1: somewhere else. I don't think Sandiego. Yeah no, no, Um,
- 43:54Speaker 1: I mean, look, there's a lot of conjecture here. We're
- 43:57Speaker 1: like guessing at a lot of things. But but I
- 44:00Speaker 1: do think I do think that Chris and Atlanta when
- 44:05Speaker 1: they're as we watched their date, it was like one
- 44:08Speaker 1: of the cringest things you could ever see because I
- 44:10Speaker 1: do think that they were like saying what they thought
- 44:13Speaker 1: bachelor people should say. Yeah, it was so cringe e.
- 44:19Speaker 1: The whole kiss position was also cringe e. She just
- 44:23Speaker 1: seemed like she had nothing to say. It made me
- 44:27Speaker 1: feel so awkward. And just to backtrack to the party again,
- 44:31Speaker 1: if they did have this grand scheme and they planned
- 44:35Speaker 1: it out, why not plan it to be a little
- 44:37Speaker 1: bit more natural, seeming have a flirty conversation, show a
- 44:42Speaker 1: little interest, but also give just Senia a good part
- 44:46Speaker 1: of your attention that night, and then you know that
- 44:50Speaker 1: they're going to put a laya back into Paradise and
- 44:53Speaker 1: you can say yes to a date without it being
- 44:55Speaker 1: so obvious that there was something prior. Yeah, you're so right.
- 45:01Speaker 1: I didn't even think about that, but there was no like,
- 45:06Speaker 1: here's why I like her. They went straight like tongue
- 45:09Speaker 1: and throat connected. That was it wild. Yeah, yeah, you're
- 45:14Speaker 1: so right. Two little things left to touch on, because
- 45:19Speaker 1: we did sort of already talk about the showdown between
- 45:22Speaker 1: the Mob and Chris and I'm scaring them out of Paradise.
- 45:27Speaker 1: Aaron and Chelsea go on a date. So now Aaron
- 45:33Speaker 1: was she was she was kind of talking to Becca
- 45:35Speaker 1: but not so much. And now Becca goes on a
- 45:37Speaker 1: date with Thomas and they hit it off. So there's
- 45:40Speaker 1: not really any messing of the triangles there except for
- 45:44Speaker 1: the fact that Tammy and Thomas are now looking like
- 45:47Speaker 1: they're over right. Yeah, completely exactly. But I will say
- 45:52Speaker 1: I think, um, it was a bold move. That's a
- 45:54Speaker 1: bold move by Chelsea to be like, who are you
- 45:56Speaker 1: seeing the former bachelorette. I'm going to take you on
- 46:01Speaker 1: a date, like I guess, I know you know, good
- 46:03Speaker 1: for you, But that like that takes that takes some
- 46:06Speaker 1: some guts because um, there were then their date really
- 46:10Speaker 1: wasn't that like there's not much to talk about really
- 46:13Speaker 1: with it? I would say, no, their date wasn't much
- 46:15Speaker 1: to talk about. They definitely like each other more than
- 46:17Speaker 1: Aaron and Becca like each other. I didn't think that
- 46:19Speaker 1: Aaron and Becca were ever going to be a thing.
- 46:20Speaker 1: It just didn't make sense. It's interesting. It will be
- 46:23Speaker 1: interesting to see what becomes of Becca and Thomas though,
- 46:25Speaker 1: because I still don't feel like there's a lot of
- 46:27Speaker 1: time yes to really get serious. That was like a
- 46:31Speaker 1: golden date move. Whoever whoever drew that card up, because
- 46:38Speaker 1: I mean there was what I just mean like, it
- 46:41Speaker 1: did look like Becca may not be around based on
- 46:45Speaker 1: how Yeah, and she needed that door to open. She
- 46:50Speaker 1: definitely did, and like Thomas. I think was so he
- 46:55Speaker 1: had been hated on so much, he was not gonna,
- 46:58Speaker 1: you know, like I think he had to put his
- 47:00Speaker 1: tail between his legs and was like, gonna stay with
- 47:03Speaker 1: Tammy and then they just wouldn't be together. But I
- 47:06Speaker 1: think he was like, he was like, I'm going to
- 47:08Speaker 1: enjoy the screen time, but not tippany apple carts. But
- 47:11Speaker 1: he couldn't say no to that. No, not at all.
- 47:14Speaker 1: And I don't even think he looks bad going on
- 47:17Speaker 1: the date with Becca because he and Tammy just seemed
- 47:19Speaker 1: like people who were like making out and having fun.
- 47:22Speaker 1: We were never like going to consider them a strong couple. Uh.
- 47:26Speaker 1: Interesting that we're not seeing a lot of Tia, which
- 47:29Speaker 1: kind of disappoints me. I think he is very interesting.
- 47:33Speaker 1: And she always like she gets fun after like two
- 47:36Speaker 1: drinks and says some She and Raven both they we
- 47:40Speaker 1: know they're friends. After two drinks, they've got like some
- 47:43Speaker 1: southern saying that nobody's ever heard before. And I do want, like,
- 47:48Speaker 1: amidst all this drama, it is nice to have some lightheartedness,
- 47:52Speaker 1: and I do hope I hope that comes back. I
- 47:54Speaker 1: hope we've got some lightheartedness in the future. Yeah, and
- 47:59Speaker 1: then kay, so let's talk about how Chris and la
- 48:02Speaker 1: are basically kicked out of Paradise. They intimidate them enough
- 48:06Speaker 1: to be like, you know, we we know that you,
- 48:08Speaker 1: we know that you came here together, we know what
- 48:12Speaker 1: bunk you're sleeping. Yeah, so get out of here out
- 48:17Speaker 1: in the middle of the night. And you know, this
- 48:20Speaker 1: was the grand plan because just and he was like,
- 48:21Speaker 1: can we vote them off the island? You know, I
- 48:24Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, this is gonna be the
- 48:25Speaker 1: first time we're like the cast creaks somebody out in
- 48:28Speaker 1: order to have them leave. And I wonder if this
- 48:31Speaker 1: is wells kept teasing, like there was something that we're
- 48:34Speaker 1: never gonna that we have never seen before in Paradise
- 48:36Speaker 1: that we were going to see this season, like getting
- 48:39Speaker 1: forced out. Yeah, Like is that maybe it is? This
- 48:44Speaker 1: is like, I mean, look, actually this just came to me.
- 48:48Speaker 1: Joe has been looking like he's on Survivor the whole time.
- 48:52Speaker 1: He might have been watching too much and he's going
- 48:54Speaker 1: to merge the two shows. I guess for us, I
- 48:57Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, look, I don't see how people
- 49:00Speaker 1: layoff of Brendan like after this, especially with some of
- 49:04Speaker 1: the things he specifically has said, like Piper, Piper is
- 49:08Speaker 1: not out of it, but like he has said some
- 49:11Speaker 1: some he has he has gone down that hole of
- 49:13Speaker 1: blaming other people. We're going to talk about that and
- 49:16Speaker 1: some statistics that prove it right after this break. Okay,
- 49:27Speaker 1: so we are talking about how Brendan is just never
- 49:31Speaker 1: going to seemingly recover from this because he just said
- 49:35Speaker 1: too many outrageous things on Monday night's episode. And I'm
- 49:38Speaker 1: going to pull up my Bachelor data profile. Here is Instagram.
- 49:44Speaker 1: We had this girl who runs the Instagram Bachelor data
- 49:49Speaker 1: on the podcast I think back in May, and the
- 49:53Speaker 1: stats from today are absolutelyable. Well it's actually quite believable,
- 49:57Speaker 1: but it's believable and I'm louvable at the same time. Really, yeah,
- 50:03Speaker 1: perfect karma for people who clearly we're trying to get
- 50:07Speaker 1: more followers. I know, like, it's crazy how many people
- 50:12Speaker 1: got on their phones last night and I was like, Okay,
- 50:15Speaker 1: I am going to unfollowed these people who just came
- 50:18Speaker 1: here for followers. Thirty seven thousands so far have unfollowed Brendan.
- 50:25Speaker 1: He's now below the amount of followers that he even
- 50:29Speaker 1: entered Paradise with. Um. Yes, he has now downgraded himself
- 50:34Speaker 1: to like post bachelor ate numbers. Then we have Piper,
- 50:40Speaker 1: who doesn't seem as affected. She looks like she's dropped.
- 50:46Speaker 1: She dropped four thousand overnight, so it's not sizable, but
- 50:51Speaker 1: like compared to her following, it's sizeable because she has
- 50:54Speaker 1: less than a hundred thousand to begin with. Um Brendan
- 50:57Speaker 1: had about three hundred and thirty something thousand followers to
- 51:03Speaker 1: begin with, all right, but the biggest jump of the
- 51:07Speaker 1: night was Natasha, who gained in the past less than
- 51:12Speaker 1: twenty four hours a hundred and four thousand followers. And
- 51:15Speaker 1: it's funny because I started following Natasha last night and
- 51:19Speaker 1: I went to go unfollowed Brendan, and I realized I
- 51:22Speaker 1: was never following Brendan. Oh, there you go. As it
- 51:27Speaker 1: should be, though, because you should not if if this
- 51:32Speaker 1: is your goal, come on, you know, like the number
- 51:36Speaker 1: one sin. It's just like perfect, you know, circling back
- 51:41Speaker 1: like the number one sin on the show is just
- 51:44Speaker 1: lying when clearly everyone knows you're lying. You know, I
- 51:50Speaker 1: guess so hard to cover this up. Everybody had already
- 51:53Speaker 1: seen some of these articles and things. This was not
- 51:56Speaker 1: something that they were going to skillfully be able to
- 51:58Speaker 1: sweep under the covers, you know. And and Brendan really
- 52:02Speaker 1: set himself up for some uh you know, well do
- 52:08Speaker 1: response by just saying all the things he said to Natasha.
- 52:11Speaker 1: I know you guys already covered this, but like, as
- 52:14Speaker 1: as as it should be good work Bachelor Nation, he
- 52:20Speaker 1: does poke poke funded himself. On his most recent Instagram,
- 52:24Speaker 1: which was a teaser for last night's episode, it says
- 52:28Speaker 1: here for the wrong reasons, at least he's able to
- 52:32Speaker 1: sort of laugh at himself. I don't know if I
- 52:36Speaker 1: call it that. I don't know, Okay, okay, Well, so
- 52:46Speaker 1: I think the big question here is why we're Chris
- 52:50Speaker 1: and Aalia kicked out, peer pressured out, and as Natasha
- 52:56Speaker 1: brings up at the end of the episode, nobody's trying
- 52:59Speaker 1: to kick out Piper and Brendan. Is it because Brendan
- 53:02Speaker 1: was like their boy and he was around since the
- 53:05Speaker 1: very beginning? They created too much of a relationship to
- 53:08Speaker 1: be that mad. I mean a lot of hypocrisy there.
- 53:11Speaker 1: She's She's definitely right, yeah, And I hope we see
- 53:16Speaker 1: something And I think even more so I do too,
- 53:19Speaker 1: because I think even more so with the secret miked
- 53:22Speaker 1: up conversation that we saw. That was that they didn't
- 53:25Speaker 1: that they didn't realize like the other people didn't know
- 53:28Speaker 1: that they had that conversation. And now that we know it,
- 53:32Speaker 1: that's true because if you followed everybody on Twitter yesterday,
- 53:37Speaker 1: there was people like Tammy and Demi. Everybody was like
- 53:40Speaker 1: freaking out saying John on the ground because they had
- 53:42Speaker 1: never seen that Mike depth conversation. So they probably didn't
- 53:45Speaker 1: think it was as bad as we the audience thought
- 53:48Speaker 1: finding out about their little scheme, because because as the audience,
- 53:53Speaker 1: we think that their scheme is worse than the Chris
- 53:56Speaker 1: and l A totally yeah, because they're just really bad,
- 54:00Speaker 1: easy actors. But like the other thing there is the
- 54:05Speaker 1: receipts nobody had to go looking for. They drop. They
- 54:10Speaker 1: dropped him right in front of the cameras for us,
- 54:14Speaker 1: so crazy. All right, well we have some Bachelor headlines.
- 54:19Speaker 1: Our first one is I'm glad we're clearing this up
- 54:23Speaker 1: grocery store. Joe. Joe Moble clarifies whether or not he
- 54:28Speaker 1: and Kendall Long were engaged. So many cast members said, like,
- 54:33Speaker 1: oh his expience, you guys, they were never engaged. He
- 54:37Speaker 1: said this this week on social media. I was not engaged,
- 54:41Speaker 1: um and that. Yeah, I thought that was weird that
- 54:46Speaker 1: people thought that they keep going. Yeah, I mean I
- 54:52Speaker 1: could keep it in. Yeah they were, Yeah, they were together,
- 54:57Speaker 1: but for a long time. It was a serious enough
- 54:59Speaker 1: relationship where I think they could have gotten engaged, but
- 55:01Speaker 1: they were not. Oh, grocery store Joe also just like
- 55:04Speaker 1: some tweets calling out his ex Kendall long. This is interesting,
- 55:09Speaker 1: I know. I think that was Mafia store Joe. Mafia
- 55:15Speaker 1: Mafia Joe. Grocery store Joe was always just the front. Okay,
- 55:22Speaker 1: so here are the tweets that he liked. That hey
- 55:29Speaker 1: butt headline made me want to cut my eyeballs and
- 55:32Speaker 1: ears off. And again I'm team Thomas and team Joe
- 55:39Speaker 1: and Serena are a beautiful couple. Okay, so they're not
- 55:45Speaker 1: really harsh, but they're obvious points to the fact that
- 55:49Speaker 1: Kendall and Joe are not together. I think he should,
- 55:53Speaker 1: like he should have been annoyed that she showed up
- 55:56Speaker 1: and was like stirring the pot. I think kind of unnecessarily,
- 56:02Speaker 1: you know, because like I can see as a viewer now,
- 56:07Speaker 1: the fact that we're not seeing her like try to
- 56:10Speaker 1: or like connect with anybody. It kind of makes it
- 56:13Speaker 1: almost more annoying, like that X who just decides to
- 56:17Speaker 1: force a conversation on you that doesn't necessarily like need
- 56:21Speaker 1: to be had. Um, I don't know, I could, I
- 56:24Speaker 1: could see being annoyed by that. So I see both
- 56:30Speaker 1: of like, I see frustrations on all their side. I
- 56:33Speaker 1: see like everything from the Joe and Kendall storyline from
- 56:36Speaker 1: multiple sides. I just feel very invested in there and
- 56:39Speaker 1: like there's too much emotion for me to even like really, yeah,
- 56:43Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not saying this to like blame Kendall
- 56:46Speaker 1: by the way. Yeah, I'm just saying I get his
- 56:49Speaker 1: frustration with liking one tweet like that. Oh yeah, I
- 56:56Speaker 1: make that makes sense. That's fine. And nobody ever thinks
- 56:58Speaker 1: that they're going to like have people look at their
- 57:01Speaker 1: favorite even even though we should, we shouldn't think that
- 57:06Speaker 1: people are going to do that. That's like the next
- 57:08Speaker 1: after Bachelor data, that's going to be the next like
- 57:10Speaker 1: what tweets did Bachelor people Like I got scared to
- 57:17Speaker 1: like like anything for a while because I don't want
- 57:20Speaker 1: people over analyzing anything. Um. And our last Bachelor headline
- 57:26Speaker 1: is Kelly Flannagan shares a health update amidst lime disease battle.
- 57:32Speaker 1: She said, I wanted to pop in and thank every
- 57:34Speaker 1: single one of you that has been messaging me. I
- 57:38Speaker 1: know this is a very controversial thing, um, she said,
- 57:41Speaker 1: whether it's documentaries, books, you name it. I'm looking up
- 57:44Speaker 1: everything and trying to keep my life super super clean
- 57:47Speaker 1: in terms of food, makeup, skincare, detergent's toothpaste and getting
