  Speaker 1: the plane. Why they're filming, Like, this is all going
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: to be real. So I'm pumped to watch it. And
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: then Sean Payton, the coach of the New Orleans Saints.

• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Jim McMahon and Jared Allen currently Jim McMahon, you guys,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: you may not know who he was. I didn't know
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: who he was. Was a quarterback for the Bears back
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: in the eighties. And we're watching and Jared is like,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: that's Jim McMahon. He's a maniac. Why is he a maniac?
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: And then he shared a couple of stories. My dad,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: when I told him about you play with Jim Acman,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: was like, oh, yeah, one time he stabbed his eye
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: with the fork. I don't know this, but you have
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: a great story. Oh. I love Jim McMahon. I think
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: he was the nicest, friendliest man to me. But he
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: has a crazy funny story that a few years ago
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: and like, at this tournament he pooped his pants on
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: the sixteenth hole from expressions, but you know he actually
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: did and this is the funniest part. Yeah, in my pants.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: But the best part about this story is that he
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: has so much confidence and he just like doesn't care
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: that he went out and jumped in the Lake Tahoe
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: on national television to clean himself up and in the
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: tournament barely even hit this from people. He's like, um,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: everything was great today until yeah, yeah exactly, Yeah, Yeah,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: he doesn't care. Oh I'm sorry. Yeah, but so Jim
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: mcmanne's incredible Jared analogy. I just got to play with
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: some great guys. But then the whole tournament is full
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: of a bunch of retired athletes and celebrities, um that
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: want to come out and hang out and play golf,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: compete against each other again. So this is a great event.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Thank you American Century for inviting me. I hope to
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: come back next year. Yeah, I hope you do too.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: All the girls are freaking out over band on the
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: golf course, and you met Garrett today at the tournament.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: So li's this. So the whole seventeen at the American
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Championship has about a thousand people that kind of line
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: up the beach and their pontoons, the big party, loud music. Yeah,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: it's it's wild. It's it's a big, big party. So
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I t off and all of a sudden, this guy
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Yell has been been and so I look back and uh,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: he's a good looking fella um and and I'm like
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: he's like, hey, you know me? And I was like
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know you, and I don't think I do.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: And so then he's like no, no, no, you know
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: who I am. And he had sunglasses on and a hat.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: So I really don't know how Garrett thought I knew
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: who he was, but then he yeah, yeah, yeah. But
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: then but then he goes, hey, it's me Garrett, and
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I go oh, and so I went out and we
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: took a picture together. I talked to him exchange numbers.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: I haven't got to talk to me yet. Um, but
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: he came for the term because he saw that I
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: had posted him out here and he lives in Reno,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: so we you know, it was it was awesome to
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: see him. Uh. We got to hang out for just
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: a quick bit. But I will definitely be given to
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: a call just to catch up on life. UM number, Yeah,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I have his number. Um, it's a it's a big
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: deal that I have Garrett's number. And as we know,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Garrett is still around and the run. So so later
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: on the podcast, we have a spoiler alert. Okay, so
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: everybody out there listening, you can't yell at at this time.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: This is a spoiler. We're going to have the contestant
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: that got kicked off tonight's episode of the Bachelorette. It's
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: a big land for us. This is a big interview.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: We got a lot to break down with this guy.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: It's really it's going to be crazy. It's a lot
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: of subjects to brush with him, a lot of questions. Okay,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: so here's my question for you. Actually, um, another spoiler,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Garrett's still around. Yeah right, so if so here, if
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: if he he's either going to end up with Becca
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: and if say he doesn't, do you see him being
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: the next bachelor out of these out of these four
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: guys in order, let's rank who could be the next guy. Okay,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: so I think Colton might be the front runner. I
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: think I disagree. I do feel like girl the most
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: into him really yeah Okay, he's like very boy band,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: you know, like he's very approachable cue yeah okay, intimidating man.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: You know, he's not like a Garrett where Garrett's like
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: full grown man. Um. I feel like if Garrett were
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: to become the next Bachelor, he, especially after seeing his hometown,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: he would be like the next Crystals. You know, they
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: did a little farming. Um. He just seems very, as
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Becca said, like assault of the Earth type guy, like
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: a total Americana season. Yeah, I could see him being
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: a good bachelor for like that reason. I think America
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: loves like an all American man. Yeah, well they're all
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: American men because it's from Colorado. That's true. You know,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of good people from Colorado. What is
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: that about, like the charm, the Americana charm's grit from
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: being a resident of Colorado. I really know. I mean,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: I think it's just your grit and determination to make
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: it through. You know it through. Um so left after
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: coming into this week's episode, we have Garrett Jason, who
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: I think I think he has a shot at this.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I think he has a shot of being Becca's man
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: or being the next guy. Well obviously I think he
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: has a shot of being Becca's man. But if he doesn't,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I think, if we're saying that all these guys somehow
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: get kicked off like clean slate, Becca doesn't like any
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: of them, I think Jason might be it. So Jason
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: is not a warm and fuzzy type guy. He's not
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: super vocal, but he has the swag which the other
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: guys don't really have. He it's just kind of like
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: that cool guy who you feel like you have to
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: win over. Is that it? Okay? So he's like you
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: have to work for him, Yeah, you totally have to
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: work for Jason. Might seem like the guy you have
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: to win over. But we just got some really big
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: breaking news about one other of Becca's guys, Amy the producer,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: please take it over. Okay, So I will read this
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: because we may want to tell Colton because obviously spoiler alert,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: we already revealed that we have Okay, and there's some
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: inappropriate language in there. Our children here, So all right,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: So this says last week there was mention of people
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: not believing Colton is a Virgin. I attended college at
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Illinois State with Colton and Mistroity sisters go Kyo often
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: hung out with Colton and his friends the football team.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: I can say firsthand that Colton is in fact a Virgin.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: I have multiple hilarious stories of girlfriends attempting to claim
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: it and to prove this, including a time one of
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: my girlfriends she calls her out by name, says, and
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Colton knows be well, so we should mention says. She
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: lived next door to Colton. She drunkenly threw rocks at
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: his windows for an hour. Azing. That is amazing. This
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: is so juicy. Ben's looking at the looking at us
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: like this is not amazing. This is totally like, what
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: is it this is the worst, like a privacy invasion. Yeah,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: we just said a girl's name. They emailed it. They
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: said we can, and they give a phone number. They
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: don't seem to be hyo ky omega friend and Colton
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: knows well. It sounds like she proudly threw rocks at
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Colton's window for an hour at two am, hoping he
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: would give in to her desires. We later learned that
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: not only is Colton a virgin, but he didn't drink
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: much and he truly was focused on on football. What
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: a terrible guy. And he's like the greatest guy on
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: the planet. As what I'm saying, this guy. Listen. They
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: go on and on. Colton's goal was to get into
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: the NFL. He rarely went out. The only times he
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: hung out with everyone was at pregames, usually held in
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: the football apartment he lived at. She was not close
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: to Colton, but she can attest to the fact that
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: he is one of, if not the sweetest and most
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: genuine human beings she has ever met. The rumors that
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Colton is on the show for the wrong reasons are
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: searching for fame or just not who he is. He
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: is a good hearted guy who is well liked by all.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: She would love the opportunity to speak to you Ben
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: about this and if there is any further information, we
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: can call her right away. This is from Oh Wow,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: I've up say okay, I'm okay with She makes it
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: sound like you're not convinced that Colton is a good
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: guy or something. I know I don't. I've never said that.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: I always yeah, But I thought that email was taking
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: a different turn. That's why I wasn't okay with it
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: at the beginning. I thought once the rocks was being
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: were being thrown, I thought something was going to happen,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: and I wish I was such a sought after virgin
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: as Colton seems to be. People ever throwing rocks at
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: your window where it's Jared at when you need him,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: you know, um, well, good for Colton. I mean, I
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: don't think you and I have ever thought Colton wasn't
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: genuine and his you know, moral choice to be a
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: virgin or to not drink good on him. Great. That's
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: that's something to to stand and be proud of. He's
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: he's put a stake in the ground and said I'm
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: gonna stand for something. But you know, I have found
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: it odd that it's became such a big storyline this season,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: and you would know about this, what do you think
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: about this? You you would know firsthand how this feels?
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Why is it? Why is it always such a big deal?
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Like why is why do people care? If like you've
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: never experienced that, Like why does the general population care?
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: I can understand why he has to tell Becca at
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: this point, because you know they're pretty far in. I
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: think like in a regular relationship, you would have told
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: your the person you're dating that much. You know that
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: information at this point, because let's say it's six weeks in, right,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: you have to have told them. But I mean, so
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: here's the thing. We have a sponsor, I would I
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: would guarantee, well, I guarantee Colon is not an expert
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: of finding out the breast sizes. Breast sizes, well, it
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: probably does. It does say breast size, all right. It's
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: very very specific way of saying Okay, I thought that's
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: what I said. Well, Third Love is a broad company,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: and they're not just a regular broad company because they
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: do help you identify your breast size and shape and
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: find a style that fits your body. I will say, um,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that. I was a thirty two and
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: a half be I'm a half size, but only Third
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Love has half sizes, and my sister also realized through
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Third Love that she is also a half size. Um,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: a lot of women don't realize that they are half sizes,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: and thousands of women out in the world are not
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: wearing the right size and they're not showing off the
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: girls the way they really should be. I've always wondered
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: that because like it's either overpouring through the cup or
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: they're just not high enough in the cup. But if
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: they were to take Third loves fit Finder quiz, they
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: would find their perfect size. They have cups from a
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: through age that's literally like every woman in the world
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: a through age, and they have bands up to forty eight.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Their hands down, the most comfortable bra you've ever owned.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: I've had. I have like three now, and they guarantee
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: the perfect fit and if if there isn't a perfect fit,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: then you can return and exchange. It's easy, free, and
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: you can just you know, actually find your fit by
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: by taking the quiz again or talking to one of
• 15:10

• 15:49
  Speaker 1: we gotta fill in the listeners on what happened on
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: this week's episode with this. So outside of Becca and
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Colton's relationship, Becca sits down with some of her closest
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Bachelor Nation friends to discuss life and love and happiness
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: and everything good going on in her world today. But
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: there's a storm of bruin and somebody isn't happy and
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: it's Tia. Why now? That's the question I want to
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: ask you actually before get you why now? And we
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: all knew that when we saw Tia just look at
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Colton in episode three that there was still something there,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: at least for her. She was like, Oh, there he is,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: that's my crash. I like him. And then she waited
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: and waited until he was final four and then she
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: was like, I gotta say something or we gotta get
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: get We have to get Colton side because you gotta
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: get his side, because what if he was super annoyed
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: by that move? M so good? All right, we're bringing
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Colton on now. Coltonne you out there? Hey, how's it going? Colton?
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: It is good to talk to you, buddy. Good to
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: talk to you. Guys. How are you holding up? You
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: all right? Yeah? Man, I'm doing I'm doing good back
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: in Denver, Colorado, and you're stopping the grounds man. It's
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: uh so if for everybody listening, Colton, I've been able
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: to meet up a couple of times. He's been great.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: He came to uh one of generous Coffees events and said, Hi,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: he brought his family. Um. I've been able to hang
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: out with Colton a few times. Colton is everything. Um
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: that are are juicy? Email said he was Colton before
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: we start here. I want to fill you in. We
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: got an email from one of your college friends. She's
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: in a sorority. Her name was. She said, you know, oh,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: that's not a good start, but she says you're wonderful
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: and pure. Yeah that's awesome, Probably because I slept through
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: every single house party in my house through in college,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: and honestly, in college I didn't really even get the
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: college experience because I was so lame. So she's probably
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: she's probably right on that. I agree with you. I
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: never got the college experience either, because I was the
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: exactly same. I was like, I'm not going to go out.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna drink obviously, I'm not gonna random people.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: So you yeah, you guys, you guys, You guys stayed
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: true to your your ethics. We know that. Um, Colton,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: we have a lot to break down with you. We
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: just asked for complete honesty and transparency. We're going to
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: dig deep because your storyline became one of the biggest
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: and also Ash and I both agree one of the
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: most confusing during this season of The Bachelor at Colton.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: To start, how many times do you hang out with you?
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: One time? Um? For a weekend in l A. Did
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: you guys sleep in the same hotel room? Um? I
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: got us an airbnbantic it was How long were you
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: talking to her before that? I would say about a month,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: maybe a month and a half. Face timing texting just
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: like it was more it was more like a casual text.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: So here's how it all started. Because this has been
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: twisted a couple of different times and give it to
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: a straight I'm gonna I'm gonna shoot it straight for
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: you guys right here. Um. So I went to casting
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: weekend for the Bachelorette and after leaving, they said, hey,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: we're releasing our our girls this weekend. Take a look
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: at them. Let us know your top three. So I
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: sent my top three in which between all three of
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: us it was Lauren, of Becca and Tia. Those Yeah,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: those were the girls just off of their head shots.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: It's very shallow like whatever. It's just off of physical
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: appearance right off the bat. So I sent those back
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: to the casting and I actually followed all three on
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Instagram and Tia followed me back, and I wasn't expecting that,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: and I was sort of shy and like, I wasn't
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: gonna d M or I just you know, it just
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: is what it is, um. And I was watching Stranger
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Things about a week later and I put it on
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: my story and she damned me commenting on Stranger Things.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: So we we all got this all started off of
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: her dm ing me about l from Stranger Things, and
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: we casually started talking on Instagram, exchanged numbers started talking
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: face time, and the second day that I talked to her,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: I actually disclosed to her that I was, you know,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: a finalist for the show and I was probably going
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: on the show. Okay. So the thing is she had
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: not been aired on TV yet, and if she had,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: it was maybe only a week by the time you guys,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: it wasn't even a week. No, no no, you guys started
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: talking in December, which is probably why she saw you
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: started following her on Instagram because if it was after December,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: then if she had just been overflowed with followers and
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: wouldn't have seen you, right, Okay, So okay, this is
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: how you set up the start of your relationship. So
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: then you decide to hang out after leaving that weekend
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: having known that she didn't win the Bachelor. What were
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: your thoughts after leaving that weekend? Or the weekend was
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: July because we went there for my birthday January January?
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Sorry January January. I always mixed up, and I don't
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: remember off the top of my head if it was
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: she off? Was was she home from that from that
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: one visually like to the audience, No, she had not
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: been a limited yet. Yeah. So so um, as far
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: as it goes like we had a good weekend. I said,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: everything up. We went hiking at Runyon Canyon with rescue puppies,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: and we went out to a state a steak dinner,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: like I honestly I planned it. It was a great
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: it was a great date, great weekend. But I just
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: left there, you know, knowing that she's going back to Arkansas.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: I'm going back to Denver. You know. We had somewhat
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: of a spark, somewhat of a connection, but it just
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: there wasn't enough for me to say, like, hey, this
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: is my person. I'm closing all my options out because
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: I haven't had, you know, a lot of time in
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: my life to date openly and like put myself out there.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: And the whole thing that she kept telling me during
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: She's like, I'm so excited for you. It's going to
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: be such a great experience. You're gonna have a blast.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: She was encouraging me the whole entire time when we're talking,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: and she was very up wart with like, hey, if
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: I get offered Bachelorrette, just so you know I'm doing it.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: And I said, hey, if I get offered going on
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: the Bachelorrett, I'm going. Like we we were very open
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: and honest with each other, because there just wasn't this
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: like we weren't at that point of a relationship to
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: be like, hey, you know your mind and I'm yours.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: They just wasn't there yet. Do you think that maybe
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: she was okay with having you go on the Bachelor
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: at no matter who the Bachelor it was, because there
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: was possibly the idea of you guys reuniting in paradise. Um.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean that that would be a
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: question for her, but I think that, you know, in
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: the back of her mind, she probably was looking at
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: the odds and it was like, there's no way, you know,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: he's gonna you know, he's gonna make it, so you know,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: there's probably a good possibility that you know, I'll see
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: him again. I don't know, Colton, based on your face
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: and personality, it's you're really You're somebody that even I
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: knew right off the bat when I interviewed you for
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: access that you were going to go far if you
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: go on the show, you're gonna go far. Well, to
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: be to be honest with you, it was either I
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: felt like I was going to far. I was going
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: to go home night one because Becca was going to
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: recognize me, oh from Tia. That's a good point. What
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: if she did? Because actually Becca, Becca casually saw me
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: FaceTime Tia one weekend. Um, while I was facetiming Tia,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Tia was with Becca and Florida. So like I've I
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: met her in Caroline via FaceTime very briefly, So like
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: I knew that she knew um, and Tia told me
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: that she told those two girls. But that was it,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: Like that was to the extent of it. That's so crazy,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: That's what. That's what. But as you're saying, so so
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: all of this does get a little convoluted, it does
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: get a little weird, like we are touching the surface
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: of oddness here. But what you're saying is if if,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: and tell me if I'm wrong. Colton, you and Tia
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: connected via social media. You had something, you had a spark,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: You're interested. You knew that her possibility of being a
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: bachelor was was was high. But you guys were interested
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: each other enough to at least take a weekend away
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: today to have fun, to play around, to see where
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: it went. When you left that weekend, you knew that
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: you were still interested in Tea and you knew she
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: was still interested in you. Yet you also, the two
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: of you both knew that whatever was lying in your
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: future was something you wanted to pursue, one for the
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: possibility of love, but too because you just weren't sold
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: yet that you were each other's persons. And why would
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: you hold yourself back from a good opportunity when you
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: don't know for certain? Am I am? I right? That's
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: you just hit it right. Yeah, you hit the nail
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: right on the head with that. Okay, so leading now,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: that's that's the pre that's the pre party to Now
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Tia sitting down with Becca during this season of the
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Bacherette and saying I still have feelings for for Colton?
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Was that shocking to you? Does that? Does that make sense?
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, for the fact you've only spent a weekend
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: together and you face time and texted for a month,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: is that odd that Tia had strong enough feelings for
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: you to voice those too? Becca? During the season, I
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: was actually I was blindsided. Um. I was not expecting
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: that at all, and I thought that, I truly every
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: time I said, you know, I'm glad you know the
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: tea things in the past, because I thought it was
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: in the past um, I thought after we left that
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: spa day. I mean, you guys know how you know,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: cutting um of it goes. You know, we we spent
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: all three of us, you know, spent time talking to
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: to one another, and we got it all out there
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: and we you know, we were all on the same
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: page and moving forward with it. So it was it
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: was a little shocking when I heard that she came
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: back to talk to Becca. Were you sad that your
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: future with Becca was ended because of Tia? You know,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know if we can can if we can
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: completely say my my future Rebecca was ended a hundred
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: percent on Tia. I'm sure that that was a heavy
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: portion of why my future Rebecca was ended. Um, So, yeah,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: of course I was sad. I was disappointed. I was frustrated,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: I was piste off. I had every emotion going through
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: me at that time, and I didn't know how to
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: process it. I mean, I think, I mean, you guys
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: watched the breakup. I was speechless. I I had nothing
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: to say because I was so caught off guard. And
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: I even I even had the conversation with Chris Harrison saying, like, hey,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: what's going down in the fantasy this week? Because you know,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: I can't wait to you know, have this conversation in
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: this alone time with Becca. I was already thinking next week, right.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Did they make you have that conversation with Chris Harrison
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: by the way, Um, I think it was a conversation
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: that I did want to have with somebody at some point,
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: and I was glad that I pulled Chris Harrison talk
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: about it, just because he's been in the game, you
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: know for a long time. Colton, when did you stop
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: talking to Tea after that weekend? When did you say, okay,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: I've been officially cast it. I think we need to
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: put this to a hall. Um, I would say we
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: we we text after that weekend, and it was more
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: of just like on a friendship level of being like,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: you know, hey, how are you doing? Catching up? You know,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: we we stayed in contact, stayed face timing. Um. I
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: would say, all the way up about two weeks before filming,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: and even then, like two days before filming, you know,
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: she texted me and said, hey, good luck, have a
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: great time. I'm jealous that you're gonna be around, you know,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: the producers again. Tell them, you know, like it's sort
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: of being like, you know, hey, there those are my
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: friends too, so it was more of like a friendship
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: relationship after that weekend. It sounds like something I feel
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: like I've probably been part of before. It's like you're
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: hoping you're going to keep in touch because you're hoping
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: that the guys won't develop strong feelings for you, and
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: you're also not going to hold them back from other
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: opportunities because you know that that would sound ridiculously clingy,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: especially for the point of the relationship you're at. Well, yeah,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: and I mean that's the thing, like with with kids.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: I don't like, I don't falter, I'm not mad at her.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Um it was a little frustrating and it was very
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: confusing for me, uh to have her come back and
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: sort of play a part in my breakup just because
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: I was so focused on Becca that I wasn't even
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: thinking about her. And that's sort of where for me,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: It's like, she has such strong feelings to come back
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: and risk her friendship with Becca and risk her image
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: to come pull me out of her relationship to try
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: to pursue me, and I'm not even thinking about her,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: So like that's where for me, I was just like confused.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: I was like, am I missing something. I mean, I
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: felt like we were on completely different pages. Why do
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: you think she seemed okay week three? But then she
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: came back a couple of weeks later. I was like,
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: guess what, not okay anymore? And then she was just
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: she was I don't want to say it was it
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: was lying, but maybe yeah, I mean, I mean yeah,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: I mean I think a part of it was, I mean,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: and a part of it was she didn't want to
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: like pull like she knew the experience and she didn't
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: want to pull me out of it. But I don't,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, that's a that's a good
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: question for her. I mean, I think you could see
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: when she sat down with the girls, like Caroline even
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: said that she was, you know, texting her throughout the season,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: and obviously I don't know that, um so something that
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: was on her mind constantly, but it wasn't online. You
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: know what. I have a theory this happens. I think
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: we all do it. She's trying to be the cool girl,
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: like she's trying to be Okay, I'm cool, I'm confident.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: I'm not the jealous person. Colden. You go and have fun,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: do your thing, and then after some weeks it started
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: to mess with her a little bit. Social media is
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: blowing up over this. There's this is obviously controversial, said
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: that she was taking a social media break this week
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: because I think she's getting a lot of crap for
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: coming back and saying this now and not saying it
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: during week three. I have to say, I was watching
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: with Jared and he was like, oh my god, I
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: cannot believe this is happening. Can believe she's doing this now?
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: And I was like, I agree with you completely, And
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: at the same time, I feel some sort of sympathy
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: for her because I can actually feel the ache in
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: her heart because she must have really liked you. And
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: it is hard to watch to watch the guy that
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: you like dating another friend on the show. It's a
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: whole different thing that we don't have to experience in
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: real life, but you have to as part of the
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Bachelor family. Yeah, but see that that that's where like
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: watching it. For me, the confusion came in because I
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: spent you know too, I spent two months investing myself
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: clearly and fully in Tobecca and giving that relationship my
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: all and um, you know, being true to who I
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: was in the hard times too, stuff that I didn't
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: really even want to talk about. I talked about because
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: I knew I would strengthen our relationship. So for me,
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: that was where the confusion came in. When Beck and
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: I broke up. I was just sitting there, you know, like,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: what am I missing something with Becan and eyes relationship.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: That one conversation could, you know, sort of ruin what
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: we had for two months? Hey, Colden, We're gonna pause
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: there because I believe you are missing one thing in
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: your life. At least I know you're missing one thing

  Speaker 1: bought up. You're wrestling with something over there? Yeah, my bad,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: my bad. Let's talk about something that only you and
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: I could truly bond over. How is last week for you?
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Like how weird was it that America was talking about
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: your lack of experience in the bedroom. Well, I don't.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know about your case exactly, But for me,
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: I think there's only about six, six or seven people
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: in my life that really knew that I was a
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: virgin before I went on that. I also, my dad
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: didn't know. I don't he didn't know for sure. No, honestly,
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: my dad didn't know. I think my mom had a
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: good idea. I hinted. I'm I'm very open with my
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: mom when it comes to like that kind of it
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: sounds weird, but me and my mom had this weird relationship,
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: but we're more friends than we are like mother's son. Um,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: So I think she had a better idea. But that's
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: not something you know that. That's not something you talk
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: to your parents about it. I mean, obviously they knew
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: in high school and in college I didn't go out
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: very often, and they knew that I never really brought
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: a girl home. So they had an idea, but they
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: didn't know it for a certain So it's it's difficult,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: you know, going from six people knowing to about six million, uh,
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: and they're all they all have something that's to say
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: about it, whether it's good or bad. So I didn't.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: I didn't love the way it seemed to come across
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: last week that like she had to take a break
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: and think about think about it. And then the guys
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: back at home we're talking about it being a roadblock
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: and like a reason to stop a romantic relationship from
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: further developing. I definitely was pretty outspoken about last week
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: because it just seems like it's always like that. Nobody's
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: are like, oh, yeah, it's such a good thing, it's
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: such a beautiful choice. How do you feel about that?
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: You know? Um, I'll say this. With the guys who
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: said that that was that they that was the hardest
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: part of watching it back because when I hear that, like,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: that's what I've heard my whole life, So I start
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: to believe that. So when I hear it's a roadblock,
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: when I hear um, when people say that it's I
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: start to believe that more so for me to hear
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: like people say hey, it's a skeleton in your closet,
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: it's like, well, why is that a skeleton? Like why
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: why can't Why isn't that just part of who I
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: am and what makes me me, why does that have
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: to be portrayed as like a bad thing. Um. So
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: that was hard for me to hear. As far as
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: her getting up from the dinner table, I just want
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: to go on record saying I did not feel disrespected
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: when that happened. I actually I understood like she wanted
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: to compose herself and figure out exactly what she wanted
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: to say, because she did understand how big of a
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: moment that was for me to open up. And I
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: think that she respected it enough to like gather her thoughts.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: I think it was more in a respectful way than
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: it was a disrespectful way. Um. And that that's I mean.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to clarify that too. Oh that's that's nice.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: That's good to hear. Um. I just had to say,
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: well more one more thing about this. When I was
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: just like just like you, I didn't tell anybody really,
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: you know, just my best best friends new And then
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: I got to a point, like around your age, like
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: where I was like cursing it because so many people
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: were like telling me it was on an unattractive quality
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: and right right, and like that was a scary. Part
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: two is like I even some of the guys. I
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: don't know if it was on air or not, but
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: they were just like, well, that's a big responsibility for
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: somebody to take on. What I always heard the response
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: responsibility quote quote I'm like, wow, um, well it was
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: a decision that I made. So how about the decision
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: I make when I feel right, the time is right. See,
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, and you and I could bondo this for
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: days because the other I'll tell you the other too
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: frustrating things that that get to me with with the
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: virginity is just because you're a virgin doesn't mean you
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: don't have any like any experience at all. I mean,
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: it's not like I'm not. Honestly, I consider myself a
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: very romantic and sexual person, but it's just not to
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: that point. I think that that's a very that's a miss.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: You know, people miss sort of misread that and misjudged that.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: It's like, just because I haven't sex doesn't mean I
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: haven't done anything. Um, And I mean I'll stop there
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: for you for your guys, I was super interesting me. No,
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: I was. It was in a very similar situation, and
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: I'd always be like, just because you don't have sex
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean you can't be sexy right exactly exactly. You
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: both are very very good representations of that. Well, I
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: just want one more thing to say, Sorry, Ben, I'm
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: taking this part over just because it's something that we seriously,
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: you guys talk about it. You know you're gonna learn
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: that it was a really awkward time to have that
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: aired and to talk about in front of the cameras
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: and all that. But so many people are going to
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: come up to you and say thank you for making
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: me feel more normal for my choice. I've actually already
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: had that happen to me twice, and I was I
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: was in the Dominican at my brother's wedding and people
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: were on vacation and they came up to me and
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: said that they just watched it and they wanted to
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: commend me for how brave it was and that they
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: respected my decision. So it was really cool to actually
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: experience that. Um I didn't even get to really say,
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: I didn't even really get to see that episode until
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: I got back, but people came up while they were
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: on their vacations and oh man, so it was it
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: was honestly really cool to hear that all the awkwardness
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: is worth it when you get people to say that,
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: and then you realize that there's so many other people
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: in your boat out there, but we just don't talk
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: about it very much exactly. We gotta start, we gotta
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: start talking. We have to start talking, and somebody did
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: start talking to us, Colton. I want to read you
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: an email from one of our listeners, Um, Ashley and Colton,
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: this is this is something I'd love you to kind
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: of close this topic out on. But the title of
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: its virgin shaming from Lane. We don't know how old
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: Lane is, but anyways says hello, I'm writing about tonight's
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: Bachelorette episode. Tonight, Colton told Becca that he's a virgin.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: It really bothered me the way that other guys talked
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: about him being a virgin as a burden that Becca
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: will have to take on and as it being the
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: skeleton in the closet. That's a good point. I feel
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: like we typically referred to the skeletons as the opposite there. Anyways,
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: I know that both Ashley and Becca Tilly had openly
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: talked on the show about being a virgin, and they
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: were able to help a lot of girls relate to
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: them and to day Strong and their personal decisions overall.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: The way the guys reacted and the way Becca immediately
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: reacted by walking away bothered me. What do you get
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: you guys think? Was it? Virgin shaming? In my mind
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: is a personal decision that doesn't take away from a
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: person's ability to be a good spouse. Both my husband
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: and I saved ourselves from marriage and it made everything
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: that much more special. I love you guys, and love
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: your show. Lane. That's so sweet. I I agree. It's
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: a weird um that economy and it's very ironic that
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: and and typically in life we talk about our skeletons
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: in our closet as things we have done, um, not
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: things we have not done. It's the experiences that we've
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: participated in that maybe aren't healthy on our souls, that
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: caused maybe a dark cloud of our life. Um. But
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: for you too and many others out there, uh, this
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: is something that you've personally chosen to eliminate those skeletons.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: So hey, kudos to you and and also Colton before
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: we say goodbye, you thank you for being so open
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: so honest during this this interview. I think it will
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: open up, um, a lot of people's eyes to the story.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: It will allow people not only to relate with you
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: better in your story, but also Tia, I think I
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: have a more of an understanding of where Tea was
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: coming from and why she talked to because she just
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: really likes you, dude. She really realizes can I can
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: I say something to I just I think, you know,
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: with her taking a break from social media too, I
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: don't nobody, nobody deserves to get hated on for speaking
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: their truth and speaking their minds. So the fact that
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: she was, you know, that she was able to do
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: that and have, you know, the courage to come up
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: and actually speak her truth, Rebecca, I respect that a
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: hundred percent. So I just want to put that out
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: there too, that you know, I don't hold any hard
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: feelings or any resentment there because obviously I'm now able
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: to watch the other three relationships and see that Beca
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: is going to be taken care of. Yeah, well, just
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: be careful, buddy, because there's gonna be a lot more
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: girls liking you and chasing down you very growing rocks
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: that or window like we used to do in college. Yeah. Yeah, Well,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: I've had will power for twenty six years of my life.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: Another couple of years, ain't gonna hurt. That's right. Hey, well,
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: speaking of will parents, speaking of great things. Uh, Colton
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: tell us about the Bacardi party on July. Yeah, So
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: in um San Diego at Mavericks in Pacific Beach, I'm

  Speaker 1: my foundation, the Legacy Foundation supporting Systic Fibrosis, has been
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: a passion for me for a lot of years, and
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: I think that UM continuing to put effort into growing
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: this is um what I want to do for the
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: rest of my life. So I just encourage everybody come
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: out if you're free, on July twenty down in San
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: Diego at Mavericks. Why would people come, Like, I mean,

• 45:25
  Speaker 1: the episode breakdown. We we've kind of bounced around a
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: little bit in this podcast, but that's because we had
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: a special guest, Colton, that came on actually to start
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: from the beginning. It's hometown week. I mean, we're getting
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: we're getting the heat of this. We're gonna see love
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: blossom or love go quickly away. But we've seen love
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: now form with all four guys after this week's episode. Yeah,
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: they've all dropped the album Big Deal. Who's hometown date
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: impress you the most? Well? As far as activities, what
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: I would like to do on my own hometown date,
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: I would love to go eat Buffalo wings with a boy.
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: My mom always told me you don't eat something as
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: gross as that, and like the first date, but you
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: know what, she's far deep with it with Jason. So
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: I thought the Buffalo wing date was really cute and
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: they went ice skating. This is like a nice Northeast homey,
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: cozy day date. It was. It was. I thought all
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: of her hometown dates were very non dramatic. Hometown week
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: was nerve wracking for me, but I felt like every
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: one of her days to others like rough parts. And yes,
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: the parents like Quiz there and siblings were there, but
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: they were all very fair. Right. You expect a mama
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: to be a little mother bearish, you you expect a
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: dad to be a little aggressive and be like, don't
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: hurt my son, and if you do, like do it
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: now and not later. Is that you think this has
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: to do with Becca? Is just that great? Yeah, She's
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: just like I don't think there's anything that you really
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: have to worry about with Becca. My hometown's man, I
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: walked into the dad's like, oh no, this sucks. Well,
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: you had it rough with one of them, but Cho
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: Chow one and her brothers are actually really great. I've
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: met him since then. I don't know why they were
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: so mean to me. That was so weird. All I
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: know is like I was watching this episode like my
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: mom would never be hard on the Bachelor. She would
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: never have like a handsome boy like that lok in
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: the house and then be like, are you going to
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: break my daughter's heart? She would be like, there's a
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: boy in the castle. There's this part of reading the beast,
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: this good of the castle, and my mom always jokes
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: as a boy in the castle. She got so excited.
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: So so Becka's hometown dates very non dramatic. Blake opens
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: up about some of his life experiences. Blake has been, um,
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: I want to get your okay. So he has a
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: tragic event at his high school growing up that rocked
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: his world and understandably so he opens up about it. It
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: It gives us a better perspective of why Blake maybe
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: grabs life by the horns and says, let's just live life.
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: So it's fullest Now Blake has been with that included, um,
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: extremely open and vulnerable throughout this whole season. Is it
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: to a full meaning? You know he talked about his family.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: He could be a little overbearing, Okay, little overbearing a
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: the hard to get game? Whatso? Okay? So do you
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: think because I think he just really loves her? Oh yeah,
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: he really does, and she keeps saying that she loves
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: him back without saying it directly. So do you think
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: she is just as much in love with Blake as
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: he is with her? I think he loves her a
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: little bit more. But I still think that she loves
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: him or loves him. I think she loves him. Is
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: the front run I think so. I believe so too.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: Some of the people in the audience disagree. Some of
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: the people in the room. Okay, everybody out there pulling,
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: is Blake the front runner? We all get we got
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: one thumbs up, we got one Garret. Oh, we got
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: three Garretts in one Blake. Okay, Garrett is amazing. But
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: you girls, why do you think that Garrett is so amazing?
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: Come and speak, Come here, co American American. Okay, I'm
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: Bailey and I'm ten. I'm almost eleven though, because yeah, okay, um,
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: and I think Garrett because he just be like a
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: better dad and like he's much more like homie sort
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: of and like everyone else is really like and then
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: know but that I think Garrett's the best. Okay, Okay,
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: I thought his hometown date was pretty homie. All right. Next,
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: Hi Taylor, Welcome to the podcast. Thank you I'm third team.
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: I think that Garrett was the best because I felt
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: like they were the most comfortable with each other. Like
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: as watching the other people, I feel like it was
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: more tense, but I feel like with Garrett, she really
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: opened up and he really opened up and it just
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: really worked together, all right. Next opinion that next Garrett fan, Sarah.
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: I'm Sarah and I'm also ten and I just like
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: Garrett because I feel like they just like, I don't know,
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: I feel like they were better together than the other ones.
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: They were just like kind of like someone said that
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: he would be. Yeah, the chemistry you could see in
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: their eyes. Huh. Yeah, they were just nice together, all right, Lauren,
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: you were the non Garrett fan. Yeah, I'm a Lake
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: fan because I feel, I don't know, I just felt
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: a whole different vibe with him than all the other guys,
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: and I think they just are a good fit for
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: each other. What kind of vibe are we talking here? Um?
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: You could just tell like like you were saying that
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: she was indirectly saying that she loved him as much
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: as he loved her, or maybe a little bit less.
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: But I don't know, and let's talk about this. I
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: don't know if I've seen a guy or a girl
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: during the Bachelor or Bachelor fall in love in what
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: seems to be such a genuine in a real way,
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: so quickly and so strongly than Blake has Rebecca. Am
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: I offer this? I totally agree with that. Have you
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: how many? How many years have you watched this the show? Five? Five?
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: How old are you so? You're an expert? You're an expert?
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: You're sixteen? Congratulations, it's a big age. It's a great age. Um. Okay,
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: So am I off? Actually? Am I off with that? No?
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: Because I keep thinking, Wow, this guy I spent so
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: little time with her so far, but his feelings are
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: so deep, like there must be something between. It's why
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: I'm so worried for him. I'm very very concerned he's
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: gonna plummet if it doesn't work out. I mean, this
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: is this is real for him, this is this is
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: a part of the show though. Okay, so now we
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: all take a step back. We've enjoyed watching the show.
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: It's been entertaining. We've had fun seeing Becca navigate her
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: way in this crazy journey we call the Bachelor at
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: We've seen her contestants come and go. We've had the crazies,
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: we've had the normals. We've had love and we've had breakups.
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: But this is where and you talked about with anybody,
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: This is where the show starts to really become real life.
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: This show actually affects people in a positive and negative
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: way who participate in the experience. And now we are
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: saying that we're worried for Blake because he has real
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: strong feelings in a world that doesn't cultivate the easiest
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: of breakups, there isn't a lot of there's never you
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: can never say okay, okay, okay, we'll break up, but
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: can we have coffee and talk about it? Talk about
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: it like next week? Yeah, I mean I haven't talked
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: to Jojo since really that day. I mean, we've met
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: each other, We've seen each other at a couple of
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: I Heart festivals. We've we've said hi, I've been cordial,
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: but we had no closure. She had no idea she
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, other than the fact that she's probably heard
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: an interview or two. We would have no ability to
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: talk about it. So we're worried for Blake. We're also
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: worried for garn Word for Jason. But it just seems
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: like Blake. This is gonna either really really make his
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: life amazing, really really hurt of it will survive. Okay,
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: So let's let's so much that has been through a lot.
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: You know what, I thought it was an interesting choice
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: to have at first then go back to the high
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: school because I was like, his mom had an affair
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: with his high school english teacher. Why are we going
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: back to the high school. It all seemed good to
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: go because they were all together. Did you notice that
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: his mom, the new husband, the dad. Was that what
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: I thought it was? Oh? Yeah, I thought that was
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: weird too. It's it's it's interesting that whole stuff, that
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: wholes thing. I mean, everybody goes through a lot, right,
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: Blake has been through a lot, and and we get that,
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: but a lot of people in life go through a lot.
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, Blake's situations maybe have been brought up on
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: this this show, so it's it's fresh and it's it's real.
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: But let's you know, I'm sure Garrett has had his
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: his life story, you know, Jason and and Cold, They've
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: they've all had their things. I just think, Okay, so
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: let's play this game real quick. Um. But before before
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: we get into the game, I also want to tease
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: that to cap off this amazing episode of the Almost
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: Famous podcast, We're actually going to be calling one of
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: Becca's friends who we're sitting in the room during the
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: Tia and Becca conversation to talk about the Tia controversy.
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: We're gonna get her opinion here and in just a
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: few minutes, so make sure you tease them. But before
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: you was play a little game. What's the game? I
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: didn't even know. If Blake gets broken up with and
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: he is so sad like her, hurt sad? Does he's
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: sitting in a good position to be a bachelor or
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: is he to hurt to be the bachelor? Game? Then
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: what other game we're gonna play on a bachelor focused podcast? Okay,
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: I think that's his real only chance of becoming the
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: Bachelor because truly, as sweet and cute see as Blake is,
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: it doesn't I don't think he has the mass appeal
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: that you have or that what is that? What is that?
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: What are you talking? I mean, like, is it that
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: it doesn't have? He's not super charming to me, he
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: doesn't really. I think he's he may be growing off
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: of me. Um, Blake might be growing off me, Um, Yeah,
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't find him to like have
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: mad as appeal as like ladies and be like, oh
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: I want to get with Blake. I think of all
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: these remaining guys or even like we'll just stay the
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: top four, I think like all of them are like, yeah,
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: he's hot, I want to flirt with him. Like how
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: many girls are like yeah, I really want to get
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: with Blake. I could be totally mistaken, and I'm so
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: sorry if I'm using my own I'm projecting my own type.
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's your host. Your opinion is the only
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: one that matters. What do you think as a as
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: a straight man? Yeah? If I mean, I think we
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: have another adult female Hell up, I'm come okay. Megan,
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: whose house we're staying at right now, has an opinion. Yeah,
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: I like Blake. I really enjoyed watching the episode today
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: with my daughters. It was a good time. And it's just,
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: you know, she's got it down to a really good
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: final few guys, and I think that she's really got
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: her mindset and she's going to make a really good decision.
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: But what do we think of Blake? Like, do you
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: we would if you were a single woman? Would you
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: want to get with Blake or would you want to
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: get with Garrett or Colton or Jason? Not Colton. Sorry,
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go with the other two. Yeah. Um,
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: I like she she chose all tall, dark and handsome,
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: and um, I just feel like there's the right guys
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: for her and I don't know, I feel like those
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: two are better. I'm gonna get a ton of crap
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: with this Blake thing. Amy, What are you? What's your feelings?
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: Colton is very young, super sweet, but young Blake is
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: growing on me. I think that if you want a
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: guy that likes you, Blake is your guy. But I
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: guess it's because I always like yeah, exactly like so
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: you know, but now I'm great. I caught my man
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: and he's mine from right. But you now you like
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: a guy that likes you. Um. So we're talking who
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: should be the Bachelor? Are you in it? Are you
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: in the running? Ben? No, I'm not in this conversation this.
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: Don't don't put me in a corner on my podcast,
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: Say Garrett. Then I guess Garrett would make the great bachelor.
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: He'd be. I I have a feeling, I have a
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: really good feeling that's gonna be Blake, that it's going
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: to be Colton. Oh really yeah, you had secret talks
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: with him? No, I just I just have this like
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: he has the appeal, he has the fan. It matters
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: how he navigates this Tia situation post this elimination. Now,
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: if he starts dating Tia now, which we don't know,
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: then this could this could blow up. But for right now,
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: all we know is that Colton has left the show
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: because of an interference by none other than Tia. And
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: we are lucky enough to have one of TIA's best
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: friends closest confidants, a former Bachelor contestants who sat in
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: the room during this conversation, Caroline. But first sugar bear hair.
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: Ashley tell him about clean, healthy, glowing hair. Well, we
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: see Becca Antia they play with their hair some much
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: during that conversation. I was a little distracted. I was like, girls,
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: we know you have good hair, and you're probably using
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: your sugar bear hair. Strong, shiny hair is very important
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: when it comes to beauty. What celebrity do you think
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: of when you think of great hair? Buny Reynolds. Really,
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: he does have good hair. Well, I wonder if he
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: uses it. I'm not really one. Sure j Low has
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: always had great hair, you can bet that they are
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: using sugar Bear hair. They taste seriously, they tasted so good.
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: I wish I could have more than two a day,
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: but you can't have more than two a day. It
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: tastes like candy, but it's made with the juice of
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: real berries, and it contains everything you need for stronger,
• 58:43

• 59:16
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Almost Famous podcast. Thanks for having me
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: back and just talk to you, guys. We have so
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: much talk to you about. Tell us what happened for
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: Reels when Tea came to confess her lingering feelings for
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: Colton Tobecca. Oh my god, it's all. It's all hard.
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: It's it's weird because I'm close with everybody here, so
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: it's um, it was a weird place for me to
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: be to be put in, so it wasn't really my
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: story to tell. All I could do was try and
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: advise people to uh to the right thing and tell
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: all the right things. Okay, So here's I think where
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: here's every confusion is right now, Caroline, in your opinion,
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: what was the right thing? Um? I uh so, I
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: knew that Tia made the wrong move in the beginning,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: but I don't think Tia really Oh that's hard, all right, Okay.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: So the thing is is like I knew about Colton
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: back in January when the girls came for the girl's trip,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: and then back is like crying about Ari and um
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: so and you know, like who is this cute boy
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: that your face timing Tia and and everything just kind
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: of like fell apart because for whatever reason. Um, but
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: it was very obvious to me that Tia, as much
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: as she wanted to believe she was over Colton, that
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: she wasn't. But I don't think she believed it herself.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: So she was like, yeah, yeah, go for it, And
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: I was like, this is a mistake, and I tried
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: to actually slip Um, I tried to slip a note
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: into Becca's bag, and the producers they were like, wouldn't
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: let me have their fighting. Um just that I um
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: just kind of like giving Becca heads up that I
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: think it wasn't my place to be like, hey, guys, like, no, Tia,
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: I think you still love Colton even though you don't
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: think you love Colton and love obviously, it's just like
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: but you know what I mean. Um, I had to
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: just I had to sit back and like let it
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: run its course. And that's a hard place to be
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: and when you care about both of these people so much,
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: and um, I tried just left the note in the
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: bag and tried to be like, hey, probably let Colton
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: go and they didn't get that opportunity. And um, yeah,
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: but I told I told Tia needed to come from her.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: She couldn't be the one to have it like all
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: come out and uh and have it come out, and
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: you know, it seemed like she was being sneaky. I
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: just I don't think Tia knew what she wanted. And
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: I think I think we've all been to that point
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: in a relationship where we're like, I don't know what
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: the hell I want. It's very confusing, and then you
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: had all of this bachelor world into it, and it's
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: it's it's a confusing place to be. But um, I
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: think the timing was really bad. Okay, So we can
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: obviously tell that this puts you in a really difficult position.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, like, yeah, it's a rock and a hard place.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: Serious it is, and and and we understand that. So
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: here is my argument against you, um, and let's just
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: talk it out here. You think that Becca should have
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: got rid of Colton. What if Colton was really into
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: Becca and didn't want to go home? Okay, But the
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: thing is is that I just I know how our
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: friendship is, and so me Becca and t are very close,
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: so I know that if before anything even started, I
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: feel like it's probably better to get rid of Colton
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: before things got going. Um, because Tia like Colton or
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: what was your reason? Was? Okay, but so t says
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: she didn't like Colton, and I'm like, I don't believe
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: you was to you trying to be the cool girl
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: and being like I'm not going to act like I
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: have such strong feelings. Yes, that's exactly, yeah, and so
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, It's like we've all been
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: They're like, no, no, it's fine, go on the show.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: Everything's fine. Like I'm cool, Like she was your That's
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: exactly what She's being the cool girl. And I don't
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: think she was being honest with herself about her feelings.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: And I just I have a problem with this because
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: the ideas and a lot of people out there in
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: social media saying, like, you know, they're criticizing Tia, they're
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: criticizing the situation. And I understand that Tia had to
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: say something, she needed to say something, it was on
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: her heart. She I don't blame her for that, but why,
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: uh do? Why did the consequences fall on Colton for
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: Tia liking him? Okay, so Colton at this point has admitted, Hey,
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: I'm not into Tia. It didn't work out. I'm into
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: you Becca. He's still at this point claiming that he's
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: in Rebecca um vocalizing his in the Becca. We just
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: had him on the podcast a little bit ago. He
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: was saying that he's in Rebecca. So why would Becca
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: get rid of Colton when he's not interested in Tia
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: might be interested in him? And Beca is interesting Colton
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: because that's the kind of friend that Becca is. She's
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: not going to jeopardize her friendship, UM with something like
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: as people don't see like what goes on like outside
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: of the show, Like people are like your friendship at
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: steak you guys, like we're all like just changing the
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: same guy. It's like, well, yeah, we met that way,
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: but we have to stay in touch and talk almost
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: every day. And at the end of the day, Um,
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: as much as like, I think Colton is a great
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: guy and like Colton has become one of like I
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: consider him like a bro to me, Like he's like
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: a good guy friend now, but like, at the end
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: of the day, I think she felt it was very
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: obvious to me from the our first spat dight visit
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: that she felt strongly about someone else. Um, And I
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: think you know, we'll we'll see that play out. Okay,
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: So you're okay, this makes more sense. This is what
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: I was getting on now. I'm understanding. You're saying that
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: at this point you pretty much knew, based on your
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: experience with Becca that she was probably not into Colton
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: as her future husband. Right, And this is where it's
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: great that she's a great friend. Awesome that she's a
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: great friend, really loyal to her friends. But if she
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: thought Colton was her husband, I would think it would
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: be very odd for her to get rid of him. Right.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: But so, but with girl code and with the way
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: I mean her face on the first So I went
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: in for two episodes. I was there for the Spot
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: eight and then you know, for our girl chat here
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: after hometowns UM. And the way that her face lit
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: up on that spot eight when she talked about two
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: specific guys, UM, I hadn't seen her face light up
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: like that before. And then when I saw her again,
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: her face lit up about that same way still. So
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: I think the way she felt about uh someone, I
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: think that plus the girl Code, it was just like
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: a hey Colton, it's time to go home. Are you
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: insinuating that she had stronger feelings for guys other than
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: Colton and that it wasn't a big deal if she
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: were to act Colton. Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: It was just it was obvious. It was obvious to
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: me the whole time, even from the beginning, who she
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: felt strongly about. You know, sometimes you just have that
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: magic with people and that makes sense now that this
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: this is clearing everything up. Yeah, so it wasn't like
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: Colton was the love of her life. And then she
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: was like, but no, my friendship with Tia. Like if
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: that was the case, then you find a way to
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: work through it. But um, Colton was not the love
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: of her life, and so you know it at the
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: end of the day, that's when it really came down
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: to you can't You can't be a polygamuss and have
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: all of them. You have to pick one. So except
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: for a lot of this episode, a lot of this season,
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: you you you can pick a couple at a time. Yeah,
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: you know what. It sounds like it's going to be fun,
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: but I just feel like that's it's a lot of
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: it's a lot. You got your hands full over there.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: So okay, to close this out, let's play a little game.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: We play a couple of this podcast. It's not really
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: games when it comes to bed, but it's all good. Um,
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: if you're if you're the bachelorette, you have the final
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: four guys here and you're sitting there and Becca's shoes
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: and Tia comes to you, do you sing Colton? Based
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: on the way that I know that she felt about
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: someone else, and if I was feeling that way about
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: someone else, absolutely, And the thing is is I know,
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: I know for a fact that her number one and
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: her number two spot lit her up like a Christmas tree.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: Like there were two guys that she spoke about, and
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: she spoke about them highly the whole time, and when
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: she spoke about them, the girl lit up like Christmas.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: And there's something in her body language that it doesn't
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: matter whatever. Even if Tia was never in the Colton equation,
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: Colton would have gone home when he went home, because
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: there was some there was there was two other guys
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: that when she spoke about um, lit her up like
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: a Christmas tree. So who would be your final Okay,
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: in order, we've asked this question earlier your bet Becca's shoes?
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: Who would be your final guy? Um, and let's let's
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: rank him in order, and then next, who do you
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: think the next Bachelor will be? If if we're saying,
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: for the take of this game, all the guys have
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: gone home, that we're just saying that Becca eliminates every
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: single guy left, from Colton to to Garrett to Blake
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: to Jason, just say they all have gone home. Who
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: would be the next bachelor in your eyes, the next bachelor.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: A lot of anticipation. I mean, I don't know, I've
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: I've heard a lot of people throw Wills his name around.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: I could that because you're friends with Wills. No, I've
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: only met him. I've only met him once. So Wills
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: Wills would be a dark horse, right, I mean coming
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: he went home? How many weeks ago? Like four or
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: four weeks ago? Can I tell you, guys, yes, I
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: have haven't. I haven't watched any of this season. Oh wow, Caroline, Wait,
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: how is that you have been caught up because you
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: were somewhere else? No? Um, I maybe yeah, so I
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: kind of got a little far behind, and now I
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: have to sit down and bene watch. But I've been
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: I've been a little busy. So um, I'm a little
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: far behind. So um. I mean, I want to say
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: who I think would be a good person, but I
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: think it could also give away the finale. So I
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: you guys are gonna have to uh, you're gonna have
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: to phone a friend on that one, not this friend. Okay, Well,
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: I would like to ask you just one more question
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: before because I feel like I'm gonna get crap because
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: I said that Blake may not be charismatic enough to
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: be the next bachelor. Um or he may not have
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: a huge he may be very cute and adorable, but
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: maybe not like did you watch my season of the Bachelor? Yeah, well,
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: I don't want to redo that. I mean it really
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: I don't. I mean, grant, I haven't really seen much
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: of Blake. But is it Can it really be that bad?
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's bad. I think the guy is
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: very very like well actually saying he doesn't have that
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: the few clips I saw on the world wide Web,
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: I know why. I guess you have to say how
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: many bachelors have the the it factor? Because like even
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: like Crystals and Brad Walmac, they're like all very vanilla,
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: but they fit the role because the girls bring the drama.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: That's true. Um well yeah, and I don't even know if.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know if we can even count Blake into
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: the equation for being the Bachelor, So we don't either,
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: but it's part of the game. Um. This has been uh, Carolin,
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: thank you for coming on and being honest about this.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: I know this is not easy, suation. Really it's hard,
