- 0:00Speaker 1: This is the Benn and Ashley I almost famous podcast
- 0:03Speaker 1: with her radio everybody. I'm Ben, and we have a
- 0:08Speaker 1: surprise guest with us in studio today. We also have
- 0:12Speaker 1: Wells Adams. It's like, I've never done this before. Literally
- 0:18Speaker 1: three minutes ago he was like, I don't think I'm
- 0:20Speaker 1: gonna be part of the podcast, and we just like
- 0:22Speaker 1: got on some headphones and a mic and there he is. Well,
- 0:24Speaker 1: when you have a talent like Wells Adams and studio
- 0:26Speaker 1: with you, we have to use them. So uh. And
- 0:28Speaker 1: we also a lot to talk about obviously, UM. This
- 0:31Speaker 1: week there has been a lot going on. UM. There
- 0:35Speaker 1: was a tragedy that took place in the United States
- 0:39Speaker 1: that we need to talk about because all three of us,
- 0:41Speaker 1: actually Wells and myself, we're in Vegas together for the
- 0:44Speaker 1: Heart Radio Festival UM last weekend and we we stood
- 0:50Speaker 1: at the same spot that this tragedy took place. And
- 0:53Speaker 1: Wells is actually working that show all day. And I
- 0:56Speaker 1: know when I heard the news about the shooting, it
- 0:59Speaker 1: hit deep um not only because person I said, I've
- 1:02Speaker 1: been there, but but also because I know how excited
- 1:06Speaker 1: I was and how freeing it was to be at
- 1:08Speaker 1: that festival. To listen to music, to take my mind
- 1:10Speaker 1: off of the world, to celebrate with people, to see friends,
- 1:12Speaker 1: to hug, to hug the people around me. Right. Um
- 1:16Speaker 1: And and I just when I heard this news, it
- 1:19Speaker 1: was sad because it took that all the way. Um.
- 1:21Speaker 1: It worries me that at what events now can we
- 1:25Speaker 1: just be free? So I want to hear you guys
- 1:27Speaker 1: thoughts on last weekend, um, and kind of your response
- 1:30Speaker 1: to the tragedies of place this week. Yeah, I mean
- 1:33Speaker 1: I'm looking at just the scenery and just thinking about
- 1:36Speaker 1: how great of a time we all had last week
- 1:38Speaker 1: and it was just like one of those moments together
- 1:41Speaker 1: we were just like, Wow, my life is great. I
- 1:42Speaker 1: love life. It's we're just having a blast. And now
- 1:45Speaker 1: to just look at the same place and yeah, I
- 1:49Speaker 1: guess it's just sort of ruined. I don't think I'm
- 1:51Speaker 1: ever going to look at it the same again, and
- 1:53Speaker 1: thinking about all the things, how that could have happened
- 1:56Speaker 1: last week when we were there, just the same big gathering.
- 2:00Speaker 1: But how many people were at the I Heart Festival
- 2:02Speaker 1: outside that day, like thousand or something, So it's like
- 2:06Speaker 1: the exact same thing and you just could have chosen
- 2:09Speaker 1: to do it last week when these tragedies happen, you
- 2:12Speaker 1: navially put yourself in those positions, right, Like what would
- 2:16Speaker 1: I have done? What was crazy for us is that
- 2:19Speaker 1: we were literally there, like when I was watching when
- 2:22Speaker 1: I was watching TV this morning, I was like, that
- 2:25Speaker 1: was my vantage point when I was filming all day,
- 2:28Speaker 1: Like that's exactly where we were, which is just terrifying.
- 2:31Speaker 1: I don't know, like this whole thing is so sad
- 2:34Speaker 1: and you can't you can't make any sense of any
- 2:39Speaker 1: of it. But I mean because a guy who's like
- 2:42Speaker 1: lived in the music industry for so long, You're right,
- 2:44Speaker 1: like concerts like that are to bring people together and
- 2:49Speaker 1: you can't wet fear now ruin that going forward, you know.
- 2:53Speaker 1: I mean, it's going to be scary to go to
- 2:55Speaker 1: big events like that. But I feel like as Americans,
- 2:58Speaker 1: we just need to like not stop doing that stuff.
- 3:02Speaker 1: You know, you're right. I mean, my I think the
- 3:05Speaker 1: word that's the trendy word right now, that that represents
- 3:08Speaker 1: um the culture we're living in in the times of
- 3:11Speaker 1: living is divisiveness. You keep hearing it, right, who's being divisive?
- 3:14Speaker 1: Who's not? So a situation like this, our first response
- 3:17Speaker 1: is it divides or us from the joy at which
- 3:21Speaker 1: a concert or an entertainment event can bring us. Um.
- 3:26Speaker 1: I want to encourage everybody, including myself, because I was
- 3:28Speaker 1: talking to my my family this morning and my mom
- 3:30Speaker 1: was like, how are you ever going to go to
- 3:32Speaker 1: an event and feel safe anymore? Kind of like you
- 3:34Speaker 1: just said. And I think our response as people is
- 3:38Speaker 1: we're just not gonna let it divide us. UM. I
- 3:41Speaker 1: don't know how we do that, but we have to
- 3:43Speaker 1: join together and say, um, we're gonna choose to love.
- 3:47Speaker 1: We're gonna choose to combat the evil that is out
- 3:49Speaker 1: there with good. I just don't know how. I remember
- 3:52Speaker 1: after the Boston Marathon bombing, I remember signing up for
- 3:59Speaker 1: the Nashville race like the next day because I was like, listen,
- 4:03Speaker 1: everyone's gonna be scared to go run. But like, that
- 4:05Speaker 1: can't be the response that we have. You know, we
- 4:08Speaker 1: need to like I don't know, like I'm gonna go
- 4:12Speaker 1: to more shows now, you know, And I think that's
- 4:15Speaker 1: the only way you can you can do it. It's uh,
- 4:18Speaker 1: it's a courageous Outlook. We have two people on the
- 4:21Speaker 1: line who are a part of our Bachelor family, who
- 4:23Speaker 1: we care about deeply who called Vegas home. Um, they're
- 4:27Speaker 1: at this festival UM for two of the nights and
- 4:32Speaker 1: they know people very close to this tragedy. We want
- 4:34Speaker 1: to bring them on. That's Emily and Haley, the twins
- 4:36Speaker 1: from Vegas UM. Emily and Haley, Welcome to the Almost
- 4:39Speaker 1: Famous podcast. Hi. Oh, that was really sweet. It's harmonized
- 4:46Speaker 1: and everything. Um, so when were you guys there? So
- 4:50Speaker 1: we were there Saturday night, and it's crazy because we
- 4:53Speaker 1: were watching Sam Hunt and it's the exact same area
- 4:56Speaker 1: where it's so hard to talk about just thinking about it,
- 5:00Speaker 1: the exact same area where we were standing. We were
- 5:02Speaker 1: standing on the side of the stage where the gunmen
- 5:06Speaker 1: had shot from the Mandalaid Bay, and so we were
- 5:08Speaker 1: on the side of the Mandalaid Bay. So just thinking
- 5:11Speaker 1: if he had chosen to shoot on Saturday, I mean,
- 5:14Speaker 1: just it's just terrifying to think about. And it just
- 5:16Speaker 1: feels so blessed and lucky that Sunday we weren't able
- 5:19Speaker 1: to get to get to go to this concert. So
- 5:21Speaker 1: I just feel like it was just like a blessing
- 5:23Speaker 1: in disguise. But my heart, I mean, honestly, Haley and
- 5:25Speaker 1: I are just and so like I honestly don't even
- 5:28Speaker 1: really have words. It's just crazy because all of our friends,
- 5:32Speaker 1: like Haley and I woke up to like two miss texts,
- 5:35Speaker 1: so many miscalls, like just so many people thinking about
- 5:38Speaker 1: us and all of our friends. Make sure all of
- 5:39Speaker 1: our friends who went were okay. I mean, the most
- 5:42Speaker 1: terrifying thing ever. My friend was actually there last night.
- 5:46Speaker 1: She had posted an instagram a couple hours before Jason
- 5:49Speaker 1: Aldean took the stage. So I texted her, I go,
- 5:52Speaker 1: based on your instagram, looks like you got out of
- 5:54Speaker 1: there early, and she goes, yeah, I recently saw Jason Meldine,
- 5:57Speaker 1: so we decided to leave an hour early. Like what
- 6:00Speaker 1: a blessing. Yeah. I was calling all of my friends
- 6:03Speaker 1: there who were there, and the service is just so
- 6:06Speaker 1: terrible that you're ei like can't get in touch with them.
- 6:08Speaker 1: But I was texting with um My Pilates instructor and
- 6:12Speaker 1: they were actually like hiding, they weren't ducking down, And
- 6:14Speaker 1: she's like, I'm so scared right now, Like I had
- 6:17Speaker 1: a friend whom she was there hiding with her friend,
- 6:20Speaker 1: and somebody had gotten shot right next to her in
- 6:22Speaker 1: the lake. Like people were like running and like like
- 6:25Speaker 1: people's legs are just so cut up from just hopping
- 6:28Speaker 1: over fences, like I mean, it was just a nightmare. Yeah,
- 6:32Speaker 1: and then we have a friend in the hospital who
- 6:34Speaker 1: was grazed viable in his arm, but luckily he's okay.
- 6:37Speaker 1: It's just like right now, people there, I guess there's
- 6:40Speaker 1: like a desperate need for blood donations. Not like the
- 6:43Speaker 1: blood banks are full already in Las Vegas right now,
- 6:45Speaker 1: but they need people to come back tomorrow to donate
- 6:47Speaker 1: blood and then over the next few days because there's
- 6:50Speaker 1: five plus people in hospitals waiting to either have surgery
- 6:54Speaker 1: or getting blood. Yeah, that brings us to a good
- 6:56Speaker 1: place in the podcast. I want to take a second here,
- 6:59Speaker 1: UM and kind of communicate to everybody out there how
- 7:01Speaker 1: you can't help um. And one of those ways, as
- 7:06Speaker 1: the twins just mentioned, is to give blood. You can
- 7:08Speaker 1: give blood in your local community. It's it's extremely important.
- 7:11Speaker 1: But if you would also like to, there's a couple
- 7:13Speaker 1: of places in Vegas. So if you're in Vegas coming up, UM,
- 7:16Speaker 1: there's a blood bank in Carson City in Las Vegas,
- 7:20Speaker 1: UH and Reno and Sparks, UM and Henderson. So if
- 7:24Speaker 1: you're in the Vegas area, or the Los Angeles area
- 7:26Speaker 1: or any place you're in the United States, please consider
- 7:28Speaker 1: giving blood right now because of the injuries, UM that occurred,
- 7:35Speaker 1: which at this point, uh, we we have a number
- 7:38Speaker 1: up over five hundred UM blood, we'll be running short
- 7:42Speaker 1: and um it is our way to give back. So
- 7:45Speaker 1: with that, I would like to, um just ask everybody
- 7:49Speaker 1: to take the time to go to the local book
- 7:51Speaker 1: blood bank today. UM. Emily and hey, they have a question.
- 7:53Speaker 1: What I guess. I don't know if you've been to
- 7:56Speaker 1: the Strip or kind of if you've had time to
- 8:00Speaker 1: to get downtown, but what is the overall feel um
- 8:03Speaker 1: of Las Vegas this week? UM? Absolutely, like I think
- 8:08Speaker 1: that everybody right now. I mean, the lines are just
- 8:10Speaker 1: out the doors at the blood things. People are out there,
- 8:13Speaker 1: UM passing out waters. Like people are just volunteering their time,
- 8:16Speaker 1: passing out food. My brother, he's a nine win one
- 8:19Speaker 1: dispatcher and luckily he UM, he wasn't working last night,
- 8:22Speaker 1: but he's going to the first responders and he's giving
- 8:25Speaker 1: it food and stuff. So like everybody, it's just amazing
- 8:28Speaker 1: how and everybody's free ride to all the blood blood locations.
- 8:33Speaker 1: So if you call an uber, you get a free
- 8:34Speaker 1: ride to go donate blood and a free ride back home.
- 8:37Speaker 1: So that's honestly just so amazing. People are just excited
- 8:39Speaker 1: to help and donate, which makes me love Las Vegas
- 8:42Speaker 1: even more, just to realize how amazing these people are
- 8:45Speaker 1: and how selfless everyone's being. And not to mention that
- 8:47Speaker 1: I heard stories of people staying behind to help people
- 8:50Speaker 1: off the floor who had been wounded, to help them
- 8:53Speaker 1: get out of the venue. So it's just honestly amazing
- 8:56Speaker 1: to see us come together, as you know, the state
- 8:59Speaker 1: of Nevada, and just be so supportive of each other
- 9:02Speaker 1: and help each other and pick each other up. I
- 9:05Speaker 1: don't know if you could communicate this, um, but we
- 9:08Speaker 1: were just talking before you came on on. You know,
- 9:11Speaker 1: we were at the Heart Music Festival last weekend in
- 9:13Speaker 1: the in the same area, and you guys are at
- 9:16Speaker 1: Life is beautiful, right, Yeah no, but you guys pretty
- 9:20Speaker 1: freaking close to the Mandalay Bay, And I guess for us, right,
- 9:24Speaker 1: my first response is what would I have done? How
- 9:27Speaker 1: does this make me feel if I was in the situation? Um,
- 9:31Speaker 1: for the two of you, as you said, as you
- 9:34Speaker 1: sat there and you heard the news and you're at
- 9:37Speaker 1: the festival on Saturday night. Personally, how does this affect you?
- 9:43Speaker 1: And then how do you bring a community together? Um,
- 9:46Speaker 1: post tragedy like this. I mean, it's just it's such
- 9:50Speaker 1: a tragic, tragic event. I mean, it's just so stay
- 9:53Speaker 1: to even think that we could have been there. But
- 9:56Speaker 1: I mean, like it's just amazing how how everybody's like
- 9:59Speaker 1: kind me together. Um, I have a link in my
- 10:02Speaker 1: bio on my Instagram to help donate to the victims.
- 10:04Speaker 1: There's still a ton of people awaiting to have surgery. UM,
- 10:08Speaker 1: so I know a lot of like families are out
- 10:11Speaker 1: there waiting for their family members to receive surgery. So,
- 10:14Speaker 1: I mean it's crazy. There's a ton of people families
- 10:17Speaker 1: in the hospitals. It's like just going to give food
- 10:19Speaker 1: to those people who are just waiting in the waiting
- 10:21Speaker 1: room for their um family and friends to um come
- 10:24Speaker 1: like you know, fit surgery and just you know, be safe. So,
- 10:28Speaker 1: I mean, it's just such a scary situation. And I
- 10:31Speaker 1: was talking to Emily, it's like what would we have done, Like,
- 10:33Speaker 1: I have no idea what I would have done in
- 10:35Speaker 1: a situation like that. I guess it's just like thinking,
- 10:38Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I was like hearing that I don't know,
- 10:42Speaker 1: I'm not really sure how all this would work, but
- 10:44Speaker 1: I hear like the people who had ducked for getting
- 10:46Speaker 1: trampled over, So it's kind of like do you run?
- 10:49Speaker 1: Do you duck? Were like what do you do? And
- 10:51Speaker 1: so I guess, like now like thinking about how lucky
- 10:54Speaker 1: you are that we weren't there. We're thinking of if
- 10:56Speaker 1: this were to happen in the future, what's the first
- 10:58Speaker 1: thing you do? And you just have to educate yourself
- 11:00Speaker 1: and like learn from this, and you know, learn that
- 11:03Speaker 1: you know, you need to be able to find places
- 11:05Speaker 1: to hide, to take cover, or it's just kind of crazy,
- 11:08Speaker 1: like maybe ducking isn't the best choices. Honestly, just terrifying
- 11:12Speaker 1: to think about that, Like it did happen and that
- 11:14Speaker 1: could have been us, and like what should we have done?
- 11:16Speaker 1: What's the right answer? And I just kind of like
- 11:19Speaker 1: listening to people, they were like there really was no
- 11:21Speaker 1: right answer. But every everywhere you went, everywhere you turned,
- 11:24Speaker 1: everywhere you would hide, you still felt like you were
- 11:25Speaker 1: going to die. Well, a tragedy like this, unfortunately in
- 11:30Speaker 1: your local area, your role is now different than than ours.
- 11:33Speaker 1: You know, I live in Denver and Ashley here in
- 11:36Speaker 1: Los Angeles, wells in Nashville. Your role in Los Angeles
- 11:39Speaker 1: or Las Vegas is a little bit close to the situation,
- 11:41Speaker 1: but it doesn't mean that people outside of Vegas still
- 11:43Speaker 1: can't help, right, giving blood, preparing for situations like this, UM,
- 11:49Speaker 1: no matter how tragic, but prepare people so the process
- 11:52Speaker 1: of recovery is easier. It is extremely important. So now
- 11:55Speaker 1: we all have a role. UM. Go to your local
- 11:57Speaker 1: blood bank, especially if you're in the Vegas area. Don't
- 12:00Speaker 1: a help, UM. Even the smallest acts UM can go
- 12:03Speaker 1: a long way. Emily and Haley, we appreciate you coming on.
- 12:06Speaker 1: Good luck and uh we will be I'd like to
- 12:11Speaker 1: say praying for you, but really it's action now, you know,
- 12:14Speaker 1: prayers are great, but it's the action that's taken place
- 12:16Speaker 1: that will help this get better. So take action and
- 12:19Speaker 1: lead that charge for calling and decreating the word and
- 12:23Speaker 1: helping you know, people be aware of this. And we
- 12:26Speaker 1: really appreciate you guys doing that problem. Speaking of taking action, Haley,
- 12:31Speaker 1: damn and this as well as by the way, UM, obviously,

- 15:18Speaker 1: uh in the podcast. Last week was the night that
- 15:21Speaker 1: we all went out together. It was I was the
- 15:23Speaker 1: only girl. I was like living every girl every Bachelor
- 15:26Speaker 1: Nation fans fantasy. I was with Wells, Peter and Dean
- 15:30Speaker 1: and I was the only girl. Yeah, you've never you've
- 15:33Speaker 1: never seen someone more like in paradise than I shouldn't
- 15:38Speaker 1: use the word paradise because that hasn't worked well. Actually, yeah,
- 15:42Speaker 1: I was going to say, it's it's much better than
- 15:45Speaker 1: paradise is actual paradise. Uh. It was just funny to see,
- 15:49Speaker 1: like the look on your face, Like was it that obvious?
- 15:51Speaker 1: Everything always written on my face? Yeah, you have a
- 15:54Speaker 1: terrible poker face in Vegas especially, but you like at
- 15:59Speaker 1: the Gordon Ms dinner, like you wedged between Peter and Dean,
- 16:03Speaker 1: did I want to talking about I sound that you
- 16:05Speaker 1: are lying for the sake of good radio. So wait,
- 16:10Speaker 1: he taught me his radio tricks because I was listening
- 16:12Speaker 1: to his podcast this weekend and like texting him while
- 16:14Speaker 1: I was doing it. I was like, wait a second,
- 16:16Speaker 1: did I say to you? You said that I went
- 16:18Speaker 1: to go change my shoes. I think I probably want
- 16:21Speaker 1: to go get a fart bubble out. That's that's what
- 16:23Speaker 1: I said. I feel like he was a little nicer
- 16:26Speaker 1: with the shoes. Well I got to hear this story. Yeah,
- 16:29Speaker 1: so you didn't. You didn't come out with it. You
- 16:30Speaker 1: were feeling sick that night. So um so, poor Peter,
- 16:35Speaker 1: I think has been living in this like sheltered little
- 16:38Speaker 1: like pre being the bachelor bubble where he I think
- 16:41Speaker 1: he's just like I don't want to go out and
- 16:43Speaker 1: like probably make stupid decisions or like get caught in
- 16:46Speaker 1: a precarious situation. So he's not and he's also living
- 16:50Speaker 1: in Wisconsin, which I imagine isn't like the party capital
- 16:53Speaker 1: of the world. So that night he was like, I
- 16:56Speaker 1: want to go out. I want to go to a club.
- 16:58Speaker 1: So we were like, yes, let's let's do this. And
- 17:02Speaker 1: so it was. It was me, Dean Peter, and we're like,
- 17:07Speaker 1: who wants to go and ask She's like I cannot
- 17:09Speaker 1: say it like that, We were all just gonna know
- 17:12Speaker 1: he's exaggerating for the sake of good of a good story.
- 17:16Speaker 1: That's a good story, so keep going. Never let the
- 17:18Speaker 1: truth get in the way of a good story. Actually,
- 17:19Speaker 1: he says, I'm going to learn this. So uh so
- 17:23Speaker 1: we were like total club and actually was like, I
- 17:25Speaker 1: have to go up to my room. And I said
- 17:27Speaker 1: on my podcast that you changed your shoes, but I'm
- 17:29Speaker 1: pretty sure you went to go do dudes, I don't know,
- 17:32Speaker 1: actually did not, but it was because I left my
- 17:35Speaker 1: suitcase in Becca's room and Becca decided to stay in
- 17:38Speaker 1: so I was like, I gotta go transfer my suitcase
- 17:40Speaker 1: from her on. Yeah, so we end up going. We
- 17:48Speaker 1: wanted to go to a club, um, and so we
- 17:50Speaker 1: went to the first one that we could find, and
- 17:53Speaker 1: you know, there's like long lines you have to pay
- 17:55Speaker 1: to get in, and we didn't have like someone like
- 17:59Speaker 1: coming and like with sinking us into v I p
- 18:01Speaker 1: you know, and so I was like, well, let's just
- 18:03Speaker 1: pay and Peter was like no, no, no, I got this.
- 18:06Speaker 1: So he went up to the bouncer. First bouncer, I
- 18:09Speaker 1: felt very awkward. I have a hard time with this
- 18:12Speaker 1: stuff too, but so I was like, okay, do it.
- 18:14Speaker 1: So he went to the bouncer and this is Peter,
- 18:16Speaker 1: like the guy that was supposed to be the Bachelor, right,
- 18:18Speaker 1: and he's like, hey, listen, buddy, UM, I'm here with Uh,
- 18:21Speaker 1: I'm here with Dean Unglert and Wells Adams and Ashley
- 18:29Speaker 1: I Kennedy from Bachelor in Paradise. I kind of want
- 18:32Speaker 1: to get in, and the bouncers like I've never heard
- 18:34Speaker 1: of these people. Uh, get the hell out. Good reality
- 18:39Speaker 1: check by the way, Like I think, like big bouncers
- 18:45Speaker 1: aren't like our like our target demo on the bachelorrette
- 18:48Speaker 1: that's right. So we did so so so that happened,
- 18:51Speaker 1: and then we're like, well, let's go to another way.
- 18:52Speaker 1: So we went and tried to do it again, same
- 18:55Speaker 1: exactly three or four times, like we think we're so cool.
- 19:00Speaker 1: And then it was like three clubs in, We're like
- 19:02Speaker 1: this is not looking good. So finally I'm like, I'm
- 19:06Speaker 1: gonna pay for us to get in. So I was
- 19:08Speaker 1: like I was because someone like on the strip was like,
- 19:11Speaker 1: you want to go to this club. Here's a card.
- 19:12Speaker 1: So I was like, well, here's like we're going to
- 19:14Speaker 1: this place. So we show up and I came in
- 19:16Speaker 1: the car. Car doesn't do anything but anything, give us
- 19:19Speaker 1: like ten dollars off, so I pay to get in
- 19:22Speaker 1: the club for all of us, all of you very generous,
- 19:25Speaker 1: and I was gonna be like, I'm gonna stay for
- 19:27Speaker 1: ten minutes because, like I once it hits like right, okay.
- 19:31Speaker 1: I ended up having a good time when I got
- 19:33Speaker 1: in there. But the first couple of seconds we walk
- 19:35Speaker 1: in there, there's no place to sit. We're like a
- 19:37Speaker 1: very crowded bar, and I'm like, God, this is not
- 19:41Speaker 1: gonna happen. And then this guy comes It happened. A
- 19:45Speaker 1: guy came up to Wells. He was just like one
- 19:48Speaker 1: of the manager and he's like, hey, big fan, dude,
- 19:52Speaker 1: do you guys need a table? And then they walked
- 19:54Speaker 1: over since gigantic booth just for the four of us,
- 19:57Speaker 1: and I was like, I've lived the effing life. Yeah,
- 20:00Speaker 1: So the same thing happens to me now every club
- 20:02Speaker 1: or bar I go to and they're like, hey, do
- 20:03Speaker 1: you want to go back to Bartend? And I'm like no,
- 20:05Speaker 1: I'm not a good bar dinner, I promise you. I
- 20:10Speaker 1: just want to hang out well, you know, the closest up.
- 20:12Speaker 1: I do have some videos on my phone that hopefully
- 20:14Speaker 1: will go public soon of Ashley just giving googly eyes
- 20:16Speaker 1: to Peter and and just really exaggerating. I was way
- 20:20Speaker 1: cooler than you're making it seem like I was on
- 20:22Speaker 1: my good behavior. I didn't cry, I didn't get emo
- 20:26Speaker 1: over anyone, true. No, I just got very, very into
- 20:30Speaker 1: a few of the people there. I'm just cool. You
- 20:32Speaker 1: are very question you know who else is cool? Our
- 20:36Speaker 1: caller on the line, we have our favorite segment, who
- 20:40Speaker 1: the heck are you? There? You go, Erica, Who the
- 20:44Speaker 1: heck are you? Erica Rose? Erica give us a whole
- 20:50Speaker 1: background on who you are, who season you're from, and
- 20:54Speaker 1: what's new in your life. Okay, No, I was on
- 20:58Speaker 1: originally Season I, which I can't believe was likely originally. Yeah,
- 21:05Speaker 1: I mean it was literally eleven years ago. I only
- 21:09Speaker 1: remember you from what was your second season? I mean,
- 21:13Speaker 1: like so, I was on Prince Laurenz the Borghesie season,
- 21:18Speaker 1: and then did a show on VH one called Your
- 21:21Speaker 1: cut Off and then Bachelor Pad two and three, which,
- 21:25Speaker 1: as we all know before Paradise there was you were also,
- 21:29Speaker 1: weren't you like a like a kissing guru on first kiss?
- 21:35Speaker 1: Oh my goddes, way to dig out some good dirt? Wells,
- 21:41Speaker 1: how do you become a kissing that well? Actually, so
- 21:44Speaker 1: y'all know. Bennett obviously, one of the first producers, was
- 21:48Speaker 1: doing um that show, you know, and he was in
- 21:52Speaker 1: charge of it, and he called me the nights before
- 21:53Speaker 1: and I was living in l A at the time,
- 21:55Speaker 1: and he's like, I need your help because on Bachelor
- 21:58Speaker 1: Pad we had a kissing competition in and I didn't
- 22:01Speaker 1: even win actually my friend the l A one. But
- 22:04Speaker 1: he's like, I know you're you know, we're pretty good
- 22:06Speaker 1: at kissing based on that kissing competition, and they literally
- 22:10Speaker 1: spent like hours trying to find an actual kissing coach
- 22:13Speaker 1: and there wasn't one. So he's like, I feel like
- 22:15Speaker 1: you would be really good at it, Um would you
- 22:17Speaker 1: be willing to do though, actually show the guy how
- 22:20Speaker 1: to kiss? And I was like, yeah, you know, I
- 22:22Speaker 1: guess so, So that's kind of how it happened. It
- 22:25Speaker 1: was the guy that never kissed anyone. It was so awkward.
- 22:30Speaker 1: He was awkward, bad at it. When he tried right, yeah,
- 22:35Speaker 1: but then I ended up really helping him and he's
- 22:38Speaker 1: been so grateful about it and like still reaches out
- 22:41Speaker 1: to me and thanks me and everything. So it made
- 22:43Speaker 1: me feel really happy in the end. That's a very
- 22:46Speaker 1: important lesson to teach someone. You could actually make a
- 22:49Speaker 1: career out of it. But now you're engaged right now,
- 22:53Speaker 1: I'm engaged. My daughter just turned one, um, So it's
- 22:58Speaker 1: been like a really you know, a funny a fun year,
- 23:02Speaker 1: a challenging year, you know what I mean. I had it.
- 23:04Speaker 1: I broke up with your dad, so that was really hard,
- 23:07Speaker 1: and I moved back to Houston, you know, and so
- 23:10Speaker 1: that was a transition. And so I'm just happy, you know,
- 23:13Speaker 1: that everything's going well now in my life because it
- 23:16Speaker 1: was a path to get there. So the guy that
- 23:18Speaker 1: you went to Jane Tanner's wedding with, that's that's your
- 23:22Speaker 1: daughter's that's Colin's father, Galen. And we really both tried
- 23:27Speaker 1: our best to make things work, honestly, we both really did,
- 23:30Speaker 1: and it's just like, at the end of the day,
- 23:32Speaker 1: we really weren't compatible, unfortunately, but sometimes that's just how
- 23:36Speaker 1: it is. We made a beautiful baby. Neither of us
- 23:39Speaker 1: would ever take that back, you know, and we just
- 23:42Speaker 1: have to focus on being good parents. So how did
- 23:45Speaker 1: you meet your your fiance? Charles? So, Charles and I
- 23:48Speaker 1: actually met back in high school. The first time we
- 23:51Speaker 1: met was at junior promp and we found a picture
- 23:54Speaker 1: of it, which is so funny and neither of us
- 23:56Speaker 1: like our best in the picture and we're like no
- 23:58Speaker 1: one or we didn't day in high school. But he
- 24:00Speaker 1: was actually my best friend Brittany's date and the guy
- 24:04Speaker 1: I went with she ended up dating after that, so
- 24:06Speaker 1: it's just really funny. And now she's happily married with
- 24:09Speaker 1: a child, you know, and she was the one that, um,
- 24:12Speaker 1: you and I had matched on bumble. But aside from that,
- 24:14Speaker 1: Brittany told me he was interested, and I was like
- 24:16Speaker 1: really because I ran into him at one of my
- 24:19Speaker 1: mom's charity events and I couldn't really tell, you know,
- 24:22Speaker 1: and I was like, okay, you know, but I asked him.
- 24:25Speaker 1: I was like, I won't go out with you if
- 24:27Speaker 1: your secretly still in love with Brittany. And he's like,
- 24:29Speaker 1: I'm not still in love with her. That was so
- 24:31Speaker 1: long ago, so I agreed to give him a chance.
- 24:34Speaker 1: That is so cool. I love stories where you guys
- 24:37Speaker 1: knew each other way back one and then reconnect. It's yeah,
- 24:40Speaker 1: it's really weird to think about, you know, that someone
- 24:42Speaker 1: could have been your life this whole time, but like
- 24:44Speaker 1: not like a huge part of your life, just someone
- 24:46Speaker 1: kind of like in the background. You know. Yeah, I
- 24:48Speaker 1: like to think that too. It seems like less daunting
- 24:51Speaker 1: of a search to be like, oh, you know him.
- 24:54Speaker 1: You know. I always thought I'd figure out which one,
- 24:56Speaker 1: like a mysterious person, and then it's weird, like we
- 24:59Speaker 1: would have never imagin and it was each other, you know.
- 25:02Speaker 1: So to move in to the one thing that we're
- 25:04Speaker 1: all experts on, we got a transition here. Um, you
- 25:10Speaker 1: found your love, which we got to celebrate and be
- 25:13Speaker 1: excited for. We have a new bachelor who is currently
- 25:16Speaker 1: searching for his love, and he also, I think is
- 25:20Speaker 1: a self proclaimed or his girlfriend's proclaim him as a
- 25:23Speaker 1: kissing expert. And I never got to know that from experience.
- 25:30Speaker 1: He and I did a bachelor edition of Wife Out
- 25:32Speaker 1: together a few years ago when they did that, and
- 25:35Speaker 1: I thought he was really cute, but he ended up
- 25:37Speaker 1: um going home with or whatever someone else. And she
- 25:40Speaker 1: said the same thing, I'm not going to call her out,
- 25:43Speaker 1: but she said that he was a good kisser. Yes,
- 25:46Speaker 1: anyone I know it's had experience with him, you know,
- 25:49Speaker 1: says that he is one of the best kissers and
- 25:51Speaker 1: get at other things too good. Okay, you got to
- 26:00Speaker 1: fill me in a little bit here, um, because this
- 26:04Speaker 1: is gonna be a huge storyline in this an RI season.
- 26:07Speaker 1: How do you become a good kisser? Like what defines
- 26:09Speaker 1: a good kisser? I heard somebody say that Ari was
- 26:12Speaker 1: very like intense and kind of like suck the face.
- 26:15Speaker 1: That sucking the face and has never been something I
- 26:18Speaker 1: think I would appreciate. No, no no face actually uses a
- 26:21Speaker 1: lot of lip. Yeah, and he uses a lot of
- 26:23Speaker 1: hand on the jaw, hand the job behind the neck.
- 26:27Speaker 1: I told my I guess client or whatever I love
- 26:29Speaker 1: at first kiss. And I learned from Ella on my
- 26:33Speaker 1: season at Bachelor Pad. She was the one that won
- 26:36Speaker 1: the kissing competition, So before I had to go and
- 26:38Speaker 1: coach him, I literally found it on YouTube and watched
- 26:42Speaker 1: Eli pis and that was one of her advice. And
- 26:43Speaker 1: then also it was change it up, like don't just
- 26:46Speaker 1: like stick the tongue in the whole time and keep
- 26:48Speaker 1: it there because that's like too much like you don't
- 26:50Speaker 1: just leave it and then just let in there. Yeah,
- 26:54Speaker 1: because you don't want to be like overly aggressive. But
- 26:56Speaker 1: at the same time, if you don't use any tongue,
- 26:58Speaker 1: then I feel like, you know, I don't know, it's
- 27:01Speaker 1: just not as good as yet a little boring. Wells,
- 27:03Speaker 1: you're a pretty good expert at kissing. Yeah. Well, we
- 27:06Speaker 1: all know that. I have just talked about Wells is
- 27:09Speaker 1: kissing skills over and over again on my podcast. Really yeah,
- 27:12Speaker 1: I always praise you on this. Oh my god, you
- 27:14Speaker 1: are so good. But also you also, and I'm going
- 27:19Speaker 1: to call you out here, I think maybe the only
- 27:22Speaker 1: non bachelor. You might have the highest tally of kissing
- 27:25Speaker 1: girls for a non bachelor. I'd like counted, and I
- 27:28Speaker 1: think it's like eight or not. Really, Yeah, there's one
- 27:37Speaker 1: that I'm not I have not not confirmed yet, so
- 27:40Speaker 1: I say it's it's eight, which is which there's a lot,
- 27:43Speaker 1: But that's, you know, a testament to who you are
- 27:45Speaker 1: as a very sexy, good kisser. Man. Um, hold on,
- 27:48Speaker 1: I want to thanks. Here's my question. Everyone's got like
- 27:52Speaker 1: a go to kissing move. What is everyone's like one
- 27:56Speaker 1: thing that they do. Um, After a little bit, I
- 27:59Speaker 1: guess I like to like go to the ear. Ye
- 28:04Speaker 1: is it only look? Are you only lobe or do
- 28:06Speaker 1: you like get up in there? I mean you start
- 28:08Speaker 1: with the lobe and then you get see the reaction
- 28:11Speaker 1: and then do you like breathe heavy into the ear
- 28:13Speaker 1: as well? Is that cute? That's actually two thumbs up
- 28:17Speaker 1: over Okay, I'll incorporate that next time. Then what's yours? Um?
- 28:21Speaker 1: I guess I'm a big hand behind the head and
- 28:24Speaker 1: and honestly at the kind of the I do like
- 28:28Speaker 1: to bite the lip, not bite hard. It's a little
- 28:32Speaker 1: bit just like just like, hey, I've been there. Yeah,
- 28:35Speaker 1: I want to know. I want you to feel this. Yeah,
- 28:39Speaker 1: that's a good move. Eric, what's yours? Wait? What's yours?
- 28:43Speaker 1: Mine's probably like touching the face and then possibly like
- 28:47Speaker 1: they're just depending, you know, kissing face and don't like
- 28:54Speaker 1: my face touched, so I don't like. No, i'd pie
- 28:58Speaker 1: back away a little bit. Yeah, but not because of
- 29:00Speaker 1: the kissing. I just asked that we kiss and not
- 29:02Speaker 1: don't touch him. Yeah, I'm just the oils. I worry
- 29:05Speaker 1: about breaking out too. I don't like it if people
- 29:07Speaker 1: time my face, but in an intimate way, it's fine, Okay, well,
- 29:11Speaker 1: what's your trick? Well, you yeah, I don't know my case.
- 29:16Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm a bottom lip not not a biter sucker,
- 29:21Speaker 1: you know. Okay, Like, how do you do that? You
- 29:24Speaker 1: just suck on the bottom lip a little bit. That's
- 29:27Speaker 1: that's why I like. I like that he's sucky. We
- 29:32Speaker 1: got to get off this conversation because get so excited
- 29:36Speaker 1: over here. Um let's get back to Batchler. So for
- 29:40Speaker 1: all of your teenagers out there and listen to the show.
- 29:42Speaker 1: We just gave you a nice four minute segment on
- 29:44Speaker 1: how to make your kissing life better. You can think
- 29:46Speaker 1: the almost famous podcast later. Make sure to tag us
- 29:48Speaker 1: in all of your tweets. Air Here's the deal. How
- 29:51Speaker 1: are you going to do as a bachelor? I think
- 29:53Speaker 1: he's going to be really good. I mean a lot
- 29:56Speaker 1: of us that have known him have thought he should
- 29:57Speaker 1: be a bachelor for like a while now. And I
- 30:01Speaker 1: don't think he's like, you know, he's thirty five, Like
- 30:04Speaker 1: that's the perfect age. I genuinely believe he's ready to
- 30:07Speaker 1: settle down. Knowing him, you know, personally, and knowing that
- 30:10Speaker 1: he's been in a serious relationship, and I feel like
- 30:13Speaker 1: he's at a point in his career too, where he's
- 30:15Speaker 1: not like, you know, running around like doing races all
- 30:18Speaker 1: the time when he really could find the right person. Plus,
- 30:20Speaker 1: I just think he's so cute. He's gonna be really engaging.
- 30:24Speaker 1: He's genuine. Women really do go crazy over him. Um.
- 30:28Speaker 1: So I think he'll be interesting to see what type
- 30:30Speaker 1: of girls are on his season two, you know, because
- 30:32Speaker 1: it's been so different every season recently. That's I was
- 30:35Speaker 1: just going to ask you, So, do you like the
- 30:37Speaker 1: way that we're doing a throwback season and what do
- 30:40Speaker 1: you think about what do you think about the current
- 30:43Speaker 1: cast and how it's evolved since you've been watching different? Um? Like,
- 30:48Speaker 1: I personally didn't watch that much of The Bachelor, and
- 30:51Speaker 1: even though I loved Rachel, I just didn't like a
- 30:53Speaker 1: lot of her guys, honestly. But I watched Paradise, and
- 30:56Speaker 1: I've watched every season in Paradise. Um. But it was
- 31:00Speaker 1: just funny to men, like if you compare this past
- 31:02Speaker 1: to like, you know, Bachelor past season two or three,
- 31:05Speaker 1: it's just so different, you know, and the show has
- 31:08Speaker 1: changed so much, Like things that we all can talk
- 31:10Speaker 1: about now, like exact or just anything like they would
- 31:13Speaker 1: not let us talk about back then, like they were
- 31:15Speaker 1: very into being like super wholesome. It was like ABC,
- 31:18Speaker 1: you know. Um, And so I think it's I guess
- 31:21Speaker 1: it's had to evolve with times. But I think that
- 31:25Speaker 1: maybe this season will be like a good combination of
- 31:28Speaker 1: the past in the present in its own way. I
- 31:30Speaker 1: want to I want to ask you a question, Erica,
- 31:32Speaker 1: because I feel like you you were on the show
- 31:34Speaker 1: before social media kind of changed everything. Um, do you
- 31:40Speaker 1: think people go on the show now purely to like
- 31:44Speaker 1: sell do? Yeah? I think so. I mean when we
- 31:48Speaker 1: first did The Bachelor, it was two thousand and six.
- 31:51Speaker 1: Facebook was the only social media and we had to
- 31:54Speaker 1: deactivate our Facebook, you know, even just take out film
- 31:57Speaker 1: and my friends are like, where are you? Like, what's wrong?
- 31:59Speaker 1: But like there was no you don't promote anything on
- 32:01Speaker 1: Facebook at least back then you didn't, you know. And
- 32:04Speaker 1: so there was people really like the girls on my season,
- 32:07Speaker 1: I will tell you, like, we're there like generally for
- 32:10Speaker 1: this like fairytale experience. The guy was a print. Um.
- 32:13Speaker 1: Some of them admitted they were there for like a
- 32:15Speaker 1: cool free trip to Rome, but no one was really there,
- 32:18Speaker 1: to be fair, I mean, that was like not really
- 32:21Speaker 1: on anyone's mind. Honestly, people really wanted to get married.
- 32:24Speaker 1: They thought that was exciting. You know. Back then there
- 32:27Speaker 1: was like us weekly in People magazine, but you really
- 32:29Speaker 1: couldn't make money off of it, you know. And I
- 32:32Speaker 1: just think that, you know, things are so different now.
- 32:35Speaker 1: Like I know so many girls when I lived in
- 32:37Speaker 1: l a that would tell me they wanted to be
- 32:38Speaker 1: on the show just to like help their careers, and like,
- 32:41Speaker 1: you know, I guess I don't blame people, but at
- 32:43Speaker 1: the same time, it's hard. It must be hard for casting,
- 32:46Speaker 1: you know, to find the right people. It's interesting because
- 32:49Speaker 1: even this has been UM. When I was on The
- 32:51Speaker 1: Bachelorrette which was on Caitlin season UM three years ago,
- 32:55Speaker 1: we started that season without the idea of social media.
- 32:58Speaker 1: Um it kind of it kind of catapulted really between
- 33:01Speaker 1: the time that on The Bachelor and The Bachelors when
- 33:03Speaker 1: Instagram and the twitters of the world became really popular.
- 33:07Speaker 1: So a lot of those guys that are my season
- 33:09Speaker 1: still don't have that big following because it didn't exist
- 33:12Speaker 1: and on our intention, I mean, we had a blast, right,
- 33:15Speaker 1: you said it, right. Some people went to just have
- 33:16Speaker 1: a good experience, which I think is really probably the
- 33:18Speaker 1: reason to do it, and then if you fall in
- 33:19Speaker 1: off great, Um. But I never ever remember a conversation
- 33:24Speaker 1: existing during during during my time on the Bachelort with
- 33:26Speaker 1: any of the guys thinking oh, after this, I'm gonna
- 33:28Speaker 1: promote this and have this. That wasn't even a conversation
- 33:32Speaker 1: the same year. So it's just like, really, you know,
- 33:35Speaker 1: it's just so different now it was for well season though.
- 33:39Speaker 1: Any guys during your season, We're like, if I don't
- 33:41Speaker 1: end up with our at least I'm going to make
- 33:43Speaker 1: money off Instagram. I never heard, I never heard what.
- 33:46Speaker 1: I never heard of a social influencer before. And then
- 33:50Speaker 1: everyone was like, that's my job. Now I'm moving to
- 33:52Speaker 1: l a take pictures. Wait, but hold Like, so now
- 33:57Speaker 1: you watch because I think I think it happens to
- 33:59Speaker 1: all of us. We and jaded, We think that our
- 34:02Speaker 1: season was the best or whatever. Um, and then you
- 34:05Speaker 1: start watching the show and you're like, God, I hate
- 34:08Speaker 1: these people. I mean, there's been other seasons. I liked
- 34:11Speaker 1: Joe Joe's season. I did also like Caitlyn season. Um. Um,
- 34:17Speaker 1: then I liked your season two. Honestly, I nick a
- 34:21Speaker 1: few times, so I think I expected more from him
- 34:24Speaker 1: as the Bachelor, because I've met him only like lines
- 34:26Speaker 1: in real life. But I thought, I don't know, I
- 34:29Speaker 1: just I feel like they didn't have the right goals
- 34:31Speaker 1: there for him. I think that was the problem. But
- 34:34Speaker 1: I was disappointed by that season, and then say, with
- 34:37Speaker 1: Rachel's season, that's just how I felt recently, How do
- 34:40Speaker 1: you feel about like those new guys from Rachel's season?
- 34:42Speaker 1: Just as a whole, I wouldn't have been Like when
- 34:44Speaker 1: I watched Paradise, I was like, I wouldn't have been
- 34:47Speaker 1: into any of these guys. Like I had met ben
- 34:50Speaker 1: Zie you know, the past, and he had like such
- 34:52Speaker 1: a great personality. So I was like, why are they
- 34:54Speaker 1: making him like only talk about his job because he
- 34:57Speaker 1: did talk about his dog life and no one really
- 35:00Speaker 1: liked him. And I'm like, to me, he was like
- 35:01Speaker 1: one of the best in the cutest guys there. So
- 35:04Speaker 1: I thought that was funny. I know, I remember sitting
- 35:08Speaker 1: Behy in the bar asking all the girls, who's the
- 35:10Speaker 1: hottest guy here? And unfortunately why unfortunately because you were undatable?
- 35:18Speaker 1: I don't know, well, I thought you were going to
- 35:20Speaker 1: be the Bachelor. I literally bet Charles about it, and
- 35:22Speaker 1: I lost that that oh I'm sorry, was positive about it. Yeah,
- 35:27Speaker 1: I didn't happen time. Don't run around now. Uh yeah,
- 35:31Speaker 1: always a bridesmaid, never a bride here. But but I
- 35:35Speaker 1: remember asking everybody, and literally everyone said, Benzi is the
- 35:39Speaker 1: best looking guy here. We know how you feel about Dean.
- 35:44Speaker 1: Uh he is a beautiful man. I will I will
- 35:47Speaker 1: be the first to admit that would in a second.
- 35:51Speaker 1: He bats those big blue eyes at you, and he
- 35:54Speaker 1: was like, well all right, but he doesn't watch his
- 35:55Speaker 1: hands and still creas me out Erica. We really I don't.
- 36:00Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. We have to tell the audience this. Okay.
- 36:03Speaker 1: So when we were in Vegas, people were like, okay,
- 36:06Speaker 1: people were like, no, well said, would you rather lick
- 36:09Speaker 1: a poker chip that's been played with all day long
- 36:12Speaker 1: or put Dean's unwashed finger in your mouth? He doesn't,
- 36:16Speaker 1: he doesn't take he doesn't wash his hands after dudues.
- 36:20Speaker 1: I know, so let's just say it. So I was like,
- 36:24Speaker 1: of course, I was like, I'm gonna put Dean's finger
- 36:26Speaker 1: in my mouth, and and You're like the only reason
- 36:30Speaker 1: that anybody would choose that is because of his face,
- 36:33Speaker 1: and that's wrong, right If it was just I don't
- 36:37Speaker 1: know if it was any other guy put his finger
- 36:40Speaker 1: in my mouth. We were at Starbucks and he was
- 36:44Speaker 1: just being funny and like did that? You know people
- 36:46Speaker 1: stick their finger in your mouth and they go like whatever.
- 36:49Speaker 1: Now you're patient zero and you haven't had a solid
- 36:55Speaker 1: movement since a ton from to day, from kissing to

- 39:15Speaker 1: Welles were there to watch. Um, we're there from emotional
- 39:19Speaker 1: and mortal support. Was that it because I needed a
- 39:21Speaker 1: lot of it. I sold myself to this show. I

- 39:25Speaker 1: gonna be in February. Um, people better be ready to
- 39:28Speaker 1: see some things happening. Um that I don't know if
- 39:31Speaker 1: I want to watch back well as as a man
- 39:34Speaker 1: who was in the stands watching it, it was truly
- 39:38Speaker 1: a beautiful sight to behold. I still had eyeliner on
- 39:41Speaker 1: my eyes this morning. I think you should have kept
- 39:43Speaker 1: it on. There's nothing I'd like more than guyliner. Really.
- 39:46Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well you look damn good in it. I
- 39:49Speaker 1: don't know. But anyways, Uh, last night was so amazing
- 39:53Speaker 1: seeing you perform. I absolutely lost my mind. And then
- 39:58Speaker 1: I also got to stand next to Christi t in,
- 40:00Speaker 1: which is pretty great. I became a friend with was
- 40:03Speaker 1: gonna one up you there, best friends because we both
- 40:16Speaker 1: have bunnyans. That's why she gave me her number, because
- 40:20Speaker 1: we both have bunyans. Remember we had a Vegas conversation
- 40:23Speaker 1: we did. So my sister is convinced that guys don't
- 40:26Speaker 1: like they like me for a little bit and then
- 40:28Speaker 1: they see my bunnyans and then they're like, oh, never mind.
- 40:30Speaker 1: And she was like, Actuley Wells and Jerry just saw
- 40:33Speaker 1: your bunny ins and then it was I from there.
- 40:37Speaker 1: So Christie, no, not at all. I think it was
- 40:40Speaker 1: when she told me that her favorite. I told Wells
- 40:46Speaker 1: last night that I'm really thankful that I told him
- 40:49Speaker 1: that and that it was aired. Because Isaac Hansen d
- 40:52Speaker 1: m me on Twitter this week. He was like, hey, Ashley,
- 40:54Speaker 1: what shall we coming to? Like? Can I get you
- 40:56Speaker 1: tickets and passes? I'm like, what is what is my life?
- 40:59Speaker 1: But anyway back to you yesterday. What's so awesome is
- 41:02Speaker 1: that like when you dance and you do the creepy
- 41:04Speaker 1: higgie and I Instagram story it. I get so many
- 41:08Speaker 1: comments that are like, I'm so glad that you're showing
- 41:11Speaker 1: this other side of Ben and that he's just like
- 41:13Speaker 1: kind of free, Um, because when you were on the Bachelor,
- 41:16Speaker 1: he was like more stiff, but now he's just showing
- 41:18Speaker 1: his fun side. I'm glad that everybody is starting to
- 41:20Speaker 1: learn that about you. I guess I him too. Yeah,
- 41:23Speaker 1: I mean that's it is. That show really allowed me,
- 41:26Speaker 1: I think last night, or just um, to loosen up,
- 41:29Speaker 1: to be free. The Bachelor's a weird experience. And we're
- 41:32Speaker 1: gonna talk to somebody here coming up who actually found
- 41:35Speaker 1: love on the Bachelor. But the Bachelor's hard because you
- 41:38Speaker 1: are pursuing a longtime, lifetime partner, like a long time
- 41:41Speaker 1: and being the batchler stressful. And I think I took
- 41:43Speaker 1: it very serious because it felt very serious to me,
- 41:47Speaker 1: as you should. Yeah, but now coming off of it's
- 41:49Speaker 1: like I do in a in a way which I
- 41:51Speaker 1: had more fun, laughed a little bit, more, loosened up
- 41:54Speaker 1: a little bit. I just couldn't. I really, I mean
- 41:55Speaker 1: I just I literally could never get in a space
- 41:58Speaker 1: in that show where I felt comfortable just being me,
- 42:01Speaker 1: And I guess it took um. Well, thank you so
- 42:08Speaker 1: much for coming to town, thank you for your support
- 42:10Speaker 1: last night, thank you for coming on the podcast today.
- 42:12Speaker 1: We appreciate it well as Adams, everybody. I'm not done.
- 42:16Speaker 1: I think, guys, I've had like the best two weekends
- 42:19Speaker 1: with you guys. It's just I love you so much.

- 42:31Speaker 1: really great. We we've had a blast and it's been
- 42:33Speaker 1: it's been real fun. It's not Bachelor fun. It's not
- 42:36Speaker 1: it's not this. I mean, obviously we're doing things that
- 42:39Speaker 1: are pretty cool and come from being on the show.
- 42:41Speaker 1: But it's just like good memories that our friendship memories
- 42:45Speaker 1: and not fake. And I think that's the best part
- 42:47Speaker 1: about the last couple of weekends. Peter sin a text
- 42:50Speaker 1: out to our group after the vaguest tragedy last night
- 42:52Speaker 1: and just said, hey, I want to let you guys
- 42:54Speaker 1: all know last week and it was a great memory

- 42:58Speaker 1: of you and I love you guys. And he ended
- 43:00Speaker 1: it with I love you guys, and that I think
- 43:02Speaker 1: that's coming from a place where it's genuine, legitimate and authentic.
- 43:05Speaker 1: It's just saying, hey, like we've experienced some awesome stuff
- 43:08Speaker 1: let's not forget that in the face of a terrible tragedy. Um,
- 43:13Speaker 1: because we're becoming real solid friends and last night your
- 43:17Speaker 1: support there was incredible, So thank you for your support,
- 43:21Speaker 1: UM and Wells, thanks for coming almost fame of podcast.
- 43:23Speaker 1: We appreciate it. Really enhanced the episode. So the guests
- 43:30Speaker 1: that has found love on the Bachelor franchise, one of
- 43:35Speaker 1: our favorite people from the Bachelor franchise is now on
- 43:39Speaker 1: the line. We got Carly Wadell, who is no longer
- 43:43Speaker 1: Carly what else she is Carly Bess car But I will,
- 43:47Speaker 1: I will. Wait, you haven't changed it yet, No, but
- 43:52Speaker 1: I am going to. I'm just like the thought of
- 43:54Speaker 1: doing it. It's like a lot of paperwork. Really, you're
- 43:58Speaker 1: already in my phone as Carl of Ascid. It makes
- 44:00Speaker 1: me smile. Well, I think like the world should know me.
- 44:04Speaker 1: Is that I'll just legally do it, like before I
- 44:07Speaker 1: have this baby come out of me. Okay, well let's
- 44:10Speaker 1: start with that. I was gonna start with your soccer story,
- 44:12Speaker 1: but I feel like we should talk about the baby.
- 44:14Speaker 1: How has your first you know, you're in your second trimester,
- 44:17Speaker 1: well into it now, halfway You're halfway there. Yeah, isn't
- 44:21Speaker 1: that crazy showing? You know, I'm not really Every single
- 44:26Speaker 1: time I see people are like, oh my gosh, you're
- 44:28Speaker 1: not showing at all. But I feel like I'm showing
- 44:31Speaker 1: and I don't think I really am. So what point
- 44:33Speaker 1: I mean? This is? This is something I need to learn.
- 44:35Speaker 1: At what point in pregnancy do people start to show?
- 44:40Speaker 1: I think it's well, I think it depends on your body,
- 44:44Speaker 1: and it depends on if you've had a baby before
- 44:46Speaker 1: you show earlier the second go round. But obviously I haven't,
- 44:49Speaker 1: so I'm twenty weeks right now and I'm like just
- 44:54Speaker 1: starting to show. But it also kind of looks like
- 44:56Speaker 1: just drink a lot of beer last Well that was
- 44:59Speaker 1: the time. I guess now the time not to do that.
- 45:01Speaker 1: So you're making up for by having a baby or
- 45:03Speaker 1: are you ready for this? Are you ready to be
- 45:05Speaker 1: a mother? Um? I mean yeah, I kind of already am.
- 45:10Speaker 1: So that's a good point, yes, to tell us about that?
- 45:12Speaker 1: How is that transition? It's it's nuts, like boys are
- 45:16Speaker 1: a lot, but it's also really fun. Evan and I like,
- 45:22Speaker 1: didn't you know, live together with the boys before uh
- 45:26Speaker 1: we got married? So now we're all kind of figuring
- 45:29Speaker 1: out how to live together, which is like a wild
- 45:31Speaker 1: and crazy experience. We're mostly I'm like, the dishes don't
- 45:35Speaker 1: get clean when they're sitting in the sink, Guys, they
- 45:37Speaker 1: get clean in the dishwasher. But then a lot of
- 45:42Speaker 1: like also just fun and laughter and it's great. So Evan,
- 45:47Speaker 1: bro how I mean, So tell us a little bit
- 45:49Speaker 1: about the situation the family dynamic here. Evan has had
- 45:51Speaker 1: how many kids previous to you? Three kids to three boys,
- 45:56Speaker 1: so you're gonna have a four person household. But this
- 45:58Speaker 1: is a girl. But this is a girl, So I
- 46:01Speaker 1: need to know how good of a father you think
- 46:04Speaker 1: Evan's gonna be for a girl, because I literally think
- 46:06Speaker 1: he was born to be a father of a girl.
- 46:08Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I know he he like every single time,
- 46:13Speaker 1: even like last night, Like the baby moves around like
- 46:15Speaker 1: a lot at night when I lay down, and so
- 46:18Speaker 1: last night I was like, O, can you put your
- 46:19Speaker 1: hands like she's moving a lot, And every single time
- 46:22Speaker 1: he puts his hand on my stomach, she moved more,
- 46:24Speaker 1: which I think is like wild, like she loves him already,
- 46:27Speaker 1: but he like teared up and he's like I'm so excited,
- 46:31Speaker 1: Like he can't wait, he went out and like bought
- 46:34Speaker 1: this whole thing and said, like, daddy's a little girl already,
- 46:37Speaker 1: and just like over the moon. What a little mushball
- 46:41Speaker 1: he is. I know, he totally is. He's like way
- 46:44Speaker 1: more sensitive and way more machine than me. So I
- 46:47Speaker 1: know that he's he thinks he's going to be the disciplinarian,
- 46:50Speaker 1: and I know he's just gonna be like, you can
- 46:52Speaker 1: have whatever you want, just like I am with my dogs.
- 46:55Speaker 1: Like I know what he's going to do. So how
- 46:58Speaker 1: are the brothers going to be? Oh my gosh, they're
- 47:01Speaker 1: so excited. They're really good with little kids, like especially
- 47:06Speaker 1: the middle of child Lamb is like he loves babies
- 47:11Speaker 1: just like Evan does. And so every single time we're
- 47:14Speaker 1: around a baby, he's like going over and playing with
- 47:16Speaker 1: it and holding it and loving on it. And they're
- 47:19Speaker 1: just gonna be They're gonna do that. I gotta ask
- 47:22Speaker 1: you because I mean, I don't I think your situation
- 47:24Speaker 1: is such a beautiful story. I mean, it is such
- 47:27Speaker 1: an amazing story from from start to finish. How you
- 47:30Speaker 1: met you met on this show. But it is a
- 47:33Speaker 1: little weird, but it is. It's really cool that that
- 47:35Speaker 1: um life can work its way out this way. I
- 47:38Speaker 1: need to know though the transition um to having children,
- 47:42Speaker 1: to bringing kids into your life to being a mother,
- 47:44Speaker 1: right you you are kind of a you know, you
- 47:46Speaker 1: are telling the boys now it sounds like, hey, pick
- 47:48Speaker 1: up your your dirty clothes, wash the dishes. Um, how
- 47:51Speaker 1: has that been for you personally and and for you
- 47:54Speaker 1: and Evan as a couple. Um? Yeah, I feel like
- 47:58Speaker 1: we I kind of didn't know my role coming in,
- 48:02Speaker 1: and so I think we're kind of trying to figure
- 48:04Speaker 1: out like what my role is. Like most I go
- 48:07Speaker 1: to Evan and I'm like, can you can you tell
- 48:10Speaker 1: them to clean up? Or can you tell them to
- 48:12Speaker 1: do this? And now I'm kind of transitioning to be like, okay, guys,
- 48:16Speaker 1: like we know each other very well. Now it's time
- 48:19Speaker 1: to take your trash out of the car. But I mean,
- 48:21Speaker 1: it's it's been interesting. It's been kind of a whirlwind.
- 48:26Speaker 1: Like I've at first just kind of felt like like
- 48:30Speaker 1: I didn't really know my place, and now you know,
- 48:34Speaker 1: we moved into a new place altogether. It's new for everybody.
- 48:38Speaker 1: I think that kind of helps because it's, you know,
- 48:42Speaker 1: it's new for everybody, and no one really knows they're
- 48:45Speaker 1: place in this new house, so we're just kind of
- 48:47Speaker 1: figuring it out altogether, which I think is really important.
- 48:50Speaker 1: But I mean, it's been a whirlwind, it's been We've
- 48:53Speaker 1: had hard times, we've had fantastic times. I think this
- 48:56Speaker 1: thing is we just kind of hold hands as a
- 48:58Speaker 1: family and just get through it. That's awesome, that's great. Yeah,
- 49:02Speaker 1: I mean, is that's it. I have zero doubt that
- 49:04Speaker 1: it would be difficult. Um, but difficulty isn't always bad, right,
- 49:08Speaker 1: and it brings us all way closer to hey, Carly. Um. So,
- 49:13Speaker 1: Jay just had a baby. I think she's gonna be
- 49:15Speaker 1: six weeks on Thursday. Also, then the most beautiful baby
- 49:19Speaker 1: I've ever seen, Like what I mean, of course Jade
- 49:22Speaker 1: and Tanner would have a beautiful baby. Look at they're
- 49:25Speaker 1: just beautiful people. When I when I saw the baby
- 49:31Speaker 1: for the first time, of course, started crying, and I'm like,
- 49:34Speaker 1: I'm not I'm gonna be obsessed with my own child
- 49:36Speaker 1: and I want my own children, and but like I
- 49:39Speaker 1: don't really get like the Google Gaga over kids. I
- 49:42Speaker 1: get that way about dogs. Um yeah, So but then
- 49:46Speaker 1: when I saw Jade and Tanner's baby and heard that
- 49:48Speaker 1: they had it, like I just started crying, and I
- 49:51Speaker 1: feel so attached to this child as I will feel
- 49:54Speaker 1: as yours because you know, I saw you guys me,
- 49:56Speaker 1: I saw you guys just get engaged. I was there
- 49:58Speaker 1: when you got married and now they had a baby,
- 50:00Speaker 1: and um, it was funny because with Jane Tanner, all
- 50:03Speaker 1: of us were actually on vacation together when they conceived.
- 50:08Speaker 1: So cool. So cool. So has Jade given you any
- 50:12Speaker 1: advice for like childbirth or just getting through this pregnancy
- 50:15Speaker 1: and how it is to have an infant, Well, like,
- 50:18Speaker 1: you know, Jade did it completely naturally. She's she's a
- 50:23Speaker 1: wonder woman. Like I'm going in and getting all the
- 50:26Speaker 1: drugs that they could possibly give me. I was like, Jade,
- 50:31Speaker 1: you're a wonder woman. You're the bravest person I know.
- 50:33Speaker 1: Like I'm going to do the opposite of what you
- 50:35Speaker 1: did because I'm terrified. Like Jade was so calm even
- 50:39Speaker 1: going into like the idea of having a baby. She
- 50:43Speaker 1: loved the idea that I've always been like terrified of
- 50:46Speaker 1: like coming out of me. I don't know what about
- 50:49Speaker 1: that would terrify you. We were at Jade's baby shower
- 50:54Speaker 1: and we were talking about the horror of giving birth,
- 50:58Speaker 1: and Carly was sitting across me with a very suspicious face,
- 51:02Speaker 1: and I'm like, Okay. Then I looked down at her
- 51:07Speaker 1: drink and there was just water in it, and I
- 51:10Speaker 1: really pissed her off by calling it out. You called
- 51:12Speaker 1: it out, actually, she was like, Carly no. Her Nick
- 51:18Speaker 1: Lauren were like, hey, Carly, if you found the champagne
- 51:22Speaker 1: and bring dude, then we won't tell everybody that you're pregnant.
- 51:25Speaker 1: And I was like, terrible, It's absolutely terrible. She came
- 51:31Speaker 1: out with it like some few weeks later. I mean,
- 51:33Speaker 1: I'm over it now, but I was. I was like,
- 51:36Speaker 1: it was I didn't feel good that day at all,
- 51:38Speaker 1: Like it just took everything in me to even get
- 51:41Speaker 1: through the day. And then I was like, and I'm
- 51:43Speaker 1: also mating in a murder actually, but I'm not sure. Yeah,
- 51:47Speaker 1: I mean, you smiled through the anger, do you do well?
- 51:52Speaker 1: I think Actuley just feels very close to the situation
- 51:54Speaker 1: because she has seen I mean, that's a cool part
- 51:56Speaker 1: about Paradise. Uh. You get an up close, in front
- 52:00Speaker 1: of view at a love story, and you're one of
- 52:02Speaker 1: the most beautiful love stories that any of us have
- 52:05Speaker 1: have watched in the show. We're excited to see this
- 52:08Speaker 1: family dynamic come together. I think that's an exciting thing
- 52:10Speaker 1: for us to see. It's it's it's interesting to me
- 52:12Speaker 1: as I thought about your relationship with Evan coming into
- 52:15Speaker 1: this show today. Is that the dynamic that now you're
- 52:18Speaker 1: a mother of um three sooner before? So my question is,
- 52:22Speaker 1: are you are you like a real life soccer mom now?
- 52:25Speaker 1: I mean, are you bringing kids around? Are you? Are
- 52:27Speaker 1: you running them? Are your full time mother? I mean,
- 52:31Speaker 1: so I bought a soccer mom car, perfect good start.
- 52:36Speaker 1: When we got together. I was like, Okay, I'm going
- 52:38Speaker 1: to get a soccer mom car because I know, like
- 52:41Speaker 1: I know, I'm gonna need it eventually, which that has
- 52:44Speaker 1: become our family vehicle. I have a Nissan Rogue now,
- 52:47Speaker 1: and I'm a full on soccer mom. I did too,
- 52:52Speaker 1: but I'm you know, Evan still does the bulk of
- 52:57Speaker 1: the picking up and the dropping off, especially since I'm
- 52:59Speaker 1: in this, Like I was very sexy about my pregnancy
- 53:03Speaker 1: so far. But I mean, you know, if Evan can't
- 53:06Speaker 1: pick somebody up, I'm there to pick him up. You know,
- 53:08Speaker 1: if Evan has meetings all the time and like one
- 53:11Speaker 1: of the kids doesn't have school on Monday's ever, so
- 53:14Speaker 1: like all hanging out with him on the you know,
- 53:16Speaker 1: on Monday. But I mean the kids like if I
- 53:19Speaker 1: show up at school, they also expect to see me
- 53:22Speaker 1: at school. It's either you know, either or not. Like
- 53:25Speaker 1: what's Harley doing here? It's always like Okay, hey Carley. Yeah,
- 53:28Speaker 1: I mean that's great, and I mean it is. It's
- 53:30Speaker 1: it's this awesome family that you guys are forming. Um,
- 53:32Speaker 1: we heard you have a really interesting story about a
- 53:35Speaker 1: soccer referee. Can you can you tell us about it?
- 53:37Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. So the kids. Two of the kids
- 53:41Speaker 1: are like super into soccer. It's their first year playing club,
- 53:46Speaker 1: um travel soccer, so it's even new for Evan, it's
- 53:50Speaker 1: new for like two of the boys. And these parents
- 53:54Speaker 1: are just like, oh my god, they're so into it,
- 53:57Speaker 1: Like their life revolves around soccer. Like they don't even
- 54:01Speaker 1: make plans on the weekend because they'll just throw soccer
- 54:04Speaker 1: games in the next And we're like, okay, now we
- 54:06Speaker 1: can't go out of town because we have two soccer games.
- 54:08Speaker 1: And if you miss soccer games, they get so mad.
- 54:11Speaker 1: So yesterday we're at this game and it's like the
- 54:16Speaker 1: championship there's like five different tournaments, like a championship, and
- 54:22Speaker 1: one of the kids who is the like team captain,
- 54:26Speaker 1: mom's son, and this other kid getting some like I
- 54:30Speaker 1: don't know, but there's like a foul on the field.
- 54:33Speaker 1: So the rest, who I think it's probably eighteen years
- 54:36Speaker 1: old and these kids are twelve that are gives this
- 54:39Speaker 1: kid a red card, which apparently is something you never
- 54:43Speaker 1: ever do in club soccer when twelve year old Just like,
- 54:46Speaker 1: who're dropping in here? And the parents we're like on fire.
- 54:53Speaker 1: I've never seen like that. There was one guy that
- 54:55Speaker 1: was screaming glad you're such as this mom was dreaming
- 55:00Speaker 1: like there's no red cards allowed in this this it's
- 55:04Speaker 1: like reds soccer. And so I guess what happened was
- 55:09Speaker 1: one kid ran into the other kid, and the rest
- 55:12Speaker 1: called a foul on him, and then the kid like
- 55:16Speaker 1: cussed out the rest, and so then he pulled the
- 55:18Speaker 1: red card. But we didn't know that. We just heard
- 55:21Speaker 1: all these parents screaming, and so finally we find out
- 55:24Speaker 1: that this kid is like cussing these people out there,
- 55:27Speaker 1: this ref out, and the mom of this kid is like,
- 55:30Speaker 1: I don't even know where he's learned to do something
- 55:33Speaker 1: like that. He's just using colorful adjectives and I'm like,
- 55:39Speaker 1: oh my gosh, he learned from you. She sounds like
- 55:45Speaker 1: he needs a curly and Evan in his life. He
- 55:49Speaker 1: was the craziest thing. And We're just sitting there and
- 55:52Speaker 1: of course, you know, I'm like shooting an Instagram story
- 55:54Speaker 1: of the whole thing. Evan and I are just silent.
- 55:59Speaker 1: But then later was like, oh my gosh, I have
- 56:01Speaker 1: to delete these ones. That's like people's faces because because
- 56:06Speaker 1: at some point, you know, these parents are going to
- 56:08Speaker 1: call Evan and be like, your kid is not allowed
- 56:11Speaker 1: to play. But I mean, it was nuts like these parents.
- 56:18Speaker 1: Like I was like, oh, yeah, I'm totally a soccer mom,
- 56:21Speaker 1: and I'm like, no, I'm not. You're learning the ways.
- 56:24Speaker 1: You know, Carly, we appreciate coming on the podcast, and
- 56:26Speaker 1: it just seems like between soccer season, the addition of

- 58:55Speaker 1: we have one of the juiciest segments we've had on
- 58:57Speaker 1: this podcast. We have a disguised caller, an anonymous caller
- 59:03Speaker 1: that has information on one of Ari's girls. So we're
- 59:07Speaker 1: going to get the dirt out of her and I
- 59:09Speaker 1: am so excited. All Right, the callers online five. Her
- 59:14Speaker 1: voice has been disguised. Bring her on. We'll call you
- 59:19Speaker 1: Anonymous girl. Hello, anonymous girl. Hi, how are you guys?
- 59:24Speaker 1: So please tell us who do you have information? On? News?
- 59:27Speaker 1: But I mean when the show airs, everybody's going to
- 59:30Speaker 1: know who she is because she's like the youngest one talking.
- 59:34Speaker 1: But that's that's what I'm asking that, That's what I mean.
- 59:37Speaker 1: I'm that's what I'm saying. Like he's thirty five, she's
- 59:39Speaker 1: twenty three. Why she's ready for love? That's my point.
- 59:44Speaker 1: And she was married last year and divorced within like
- 59:48Speaker 1: six months. So okay, So I know her from high
- 59:53Speaker 1: school and college. I lived next to her, um and
- 59:58Speaker 1: our college apartment like runs in the same group of people.
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: Um she before she went on she I mean, she's
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: been talking about being on the Bachelor for years, Like
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: that's just something she's always wanted to do, and so
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: she made it very well known that she was going
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: on to further her career and to become well known
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: and be a part of like the Bachelor franchise, And
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: she just wants people to know who she is and
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: to become almost famous. She wanted to become almost famous exactly.
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: She wants from almost famous. So, um, like, I know
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: the type of person she is, and she's whether she
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: perceives herself as good or bad on the show. I
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: don't think she cares. She just wants to be known.
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: Do you think that she's going to get always attention
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: in a big way? Yeah? Probably? Like I was hoping
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: that she was just kind of like be disguised and
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: like fly under the radar and no one really knows
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: she wasn't she get kicked off people early. But I
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: mean I know her better than that to know that
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: she is going to make herself known on this show.
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: Here's my question for you. There's obviously some some feelings
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: here from you that you don't think she's she's ready
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: for this, or she's not here for wait for it?
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: The writer reason, Um, so, am I am I correct
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: in saying that? Or do you yea know, you're correct,
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: You're this definitely correct. I mean, for the fact that
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: she was married and divorced within the past year. I
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: just don't think that she should be trying like on
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: a dating show, you know what I'm saying. And I mean,
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: aris thirty five, she's twenty three. I don't. I just
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: don't like he's really in this for a love, it
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: seems like, and she's not. I mean, I think I
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: think the twelve year age, the twelve year age difference,
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: I think the twelve year age difference is just fine.
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: But I think if it's between a twenty three year
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: old and thirty five year old, there's a big life
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: gap in there. I think if they were thirty and
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: forty two, then that's no biggie. Yeah, there's a big
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: maturity difference. And she has a marriage that lasted six months,
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: and her ex husband's family is very wealthy and they're
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: like prominent people from where we're from. And so I
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: think she married him more for his name than for him,
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: which is why I think it fails. And I and
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: I honestly I'm sitting here talking to about I have
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: no clue who this is that I don't even know
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: who you are. You're an anonymous scholar. That's what I
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: know your name as. I don't have any idea why
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: they got a divorce. You know, marriages break and and
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: and tragedy happens all the time, and that that's sad
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: and it stinks, and I hope that through that good
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: things can happen. However it is, it brings up a
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: talk we've talked about a lot on the show, is
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: how much time do you take post breakup to get
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: back with somebody? Um? How is there a time period
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: for healing? Um? I would imagine after a marriage to
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: a little bit harder to heal than it is just
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: after a normal breakup. It seems like this girl married
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: for the wrong reasons, So I don't know if her
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: post breakup like rest is going to be as long.
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: But I know that they were high school sweethearts, so
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: like obviously they did you know, like I'm sure they
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: loved each other and she's still like I was trying
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: to get in contact with him up until she left,
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: and so I don't know, like if anything happened there.
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: But I mean, I am married currently and I know
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: that if I got divorced, I would not do like
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: three months later, decided to go an autition for the
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: Bachelor to go and try and date someone who wants
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: to get married. Like you know, I you need you
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: need a healing You need healing time. You need time
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: for yourself to kind of figure out who you are
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: without this person you've just spent so much time with
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: and been committed to. And I just don't think she
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: took enough time. I mean, and the fact that she
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: was like, she wasn't hiding it. She was being very
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: open with people that she was going on to further
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: her career and to become well known. What does she
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: want to do with her career? I was gonna say,
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: I mean, I've I did this. If I would have
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: done this to further my career. Now I'm sitting in
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: a studio talking with Ashley for a living. This is
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: uh pretty cool. Big things have happened in my life. Yeah,
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: what kind of career does she want? So? She um
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: is a freelance model. She does like some modeling should
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: share in Utah and where she's from. UM and then
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: she has like the photography business that I mean, it's
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: just all local. So everything she does is just locally
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: so here's the all of our listeners out there. When
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: our show starts airing, we'll be looking now for the
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: twenty year old woman that gets out of the car
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: with future social influencer as the job title under her name.
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: Thank you anonymous caller for coming on UM the Almost
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: Famous Podcast with Ashley and I to speak UM about
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: our new segment that will be airing once our season starts,
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: The Right Reasons Police the Investing Asian starts now. Hey,
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: thank you for coming on. So this has been an
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: interesting show so far. I've had a lot of fun
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: with it. UM. It's helped picked up my my spirits
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: from a a tragedy that really did kind of bring
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: us down. I'm sure once we walk out of the
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: studio the news will show and and life will reality
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: will start to sink in again. But it is good
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: to take a few moments of our day to step away,
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: laugh a little bit and have a little fun. And
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: one of my favorite callers of the day was Erica Rose.
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: And Erica Rose is a self proclaimed kicking or kissing
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: not kicking, I hope she's not kicking people. She's a
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: kissing expert, and her advice was that she likes to
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: touch the face. Its freaks me out because there's so
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: much oil on your hands. I think it's on your face.
