Speaker 3: Are you so to me? Chackica, Jared and I will
0:18
Speaker 3: never be able to say the words it's me without
0:21
Speaker 3: thinking of Rob Schneider in The Hot Check.
0:24
Speaker 4: The Hot Check?
0:25
Speaker 3: Yeah. I love that movie so much.
0:28
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a great one. Rachel mcaddams before she was
0:30
Speaker 4: Rachel mcaddams. Yeah, I know, was that before Me and Girls?
0:33
Speaker 3: I think it may have been like six months before, yeah,
0:36
Speaker 3: six months before.
0:38
Speaker 4: So crazy.
0:39
Speaker 3: Yeah.
0:39
Speaker 4: I remember thinking she was so hot in that movie,
0:41
Speaker 4: and then who would have thought, like, oh, that is
0:44
Speaker 4: Rachel McAdams. That's similar to the movie Almost Time with
0:49
Speaker 4: I forget the actor's name, but Bill Nye plays the
0:52
Speaker 4: father where the guy can go and go back in
0:54
Speaker 4: time and it's right around the time his dad dies.
0:57
Speaker 4: I don't but Margot Robbie's in it before she was
1:00
Speaker 4: Marco Robbins.
1:01
Speaker 2: About Time, I was like, I don't know a movie
1:05
Speaker 2: called that, Okay, yeah, about Time? And I remember watching
1:08
Speaker 2: About Time and being like that might be the prettiest,
1:10
Speaker 2: but have everything in my entire life.
1:11
Speaker 4: Oh my god, my god, it's so funny because Rachel
1:13
Speaker 4: McAdams is also in that movie and she plays his
1:16
Speaker 4: love injury. Yeah, but but she it's hotter well in
1:21
Speaker 4: that movie, in that movie specifically, But then you have
1:24
Speaker 4: an argument like who is prettier like Margot, Robbie or
1:27
Speaker 4: Ray McAdams.
1:27
Speaker 2: If I understand, there's really there, they're all in there
1:31
Speaker 2: in that movie.
1:32
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, of course pretty. But in that movie, hold on,
1:35
Speaker 4: I gotta finish my Rachel McAdams intentionally doesn't look as
1:38
Speaker 4: good because I think so, Yeah, they spress.
1:40
Speaker 3: Her down to look like more like momish exactly.
1:45
Speaker 4: And and also I forget, god, I forget the guy's name.
1:48
Speaker 4: But you know, let's be honest, it's not like he's ugly,
1:52
Speaker 4: but like she's way out of his leag So if
1:54
Speaker 4: it was Rachel McAdams and him movie, no, it's no.
1:58
Speaker 4: Jim Sturge is beautiful. I forget he's still.
2:04
Speaker 2: We have nothing to say about this episode. We'll get well,
2:08
Speaker 2: we'll get to in a second, but now I just
2:09
Speaker 2: want to say I thought that should I look it up?
2:12
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's redhead. He's a really good actor. He was
2:15
Speaker 4: in Star Wars Glacier. I mean, yep, there he is,
2:21
Speaker 4: or dom Donald. No, it's Domin Domino. Yeah, it's spelled.
2:27
Speaker 4: They just had it there. It is doumb Hall. He's
2:32
Speaker 4: not a bad looking guy by any French, but you know,
2:36
Speaker 4: I mean Rachel, you know.
2:38
Speaker 3: Ch Rich McAdams is Jared's like great movie.
2:41
Speaker 4: By the way, holy Ship, you haven't seen them. I
2:43
Speaker 4: remember watching that and I was like, who is this blonde?
2:45
Speaker 4: I know, I thought the same thing.
2:48
Speaker 3: I was like, am I a lesbian right now?
2:50
Speaker 4: I was like, listen, I love to because I'm so much,
2:52
Speaker 4: but bro go with her read of your mind anyway?
2:57
Speaker 2: Also, could I say that in the Hot Chick where
2:59
Speaker 2: is where this conversation started, I thought that Anna Faris
3:02
Speaker 2: was so pretty.
3:03
Speaker 3: I just want to look like.
3:05
Speaker 4: I think Anna Faris is pretty underrated.
3:07
Speaker 3: Yeah.
3:08
Speaker 4: Have you ever seen the movie Waiting where it's with
3:10
Speaker 4: her and Ryan Reynolds. They play they work in a restaurant,
3:13
Speaker 4: justin Long's in. It came out in two thousand and five.
3:15
Speaker 4: It's an old one never really took off.
3:17
Speaker 3: The movies are the two of them?
3:18
Speaker 4: Uh that and Just Friends? But I think she well,
3:21
Speaker 4: she also wears Eyeliner, which actually knows is my I
3:24
Speaker 4: love dude.
3:25
Speaker 3: Jared loves Island, black Eyelander all the way around.
3:28
Speaker 4: And I think Ana fars is very pretty.
3:31
Speaker 2: Anyway anyway, okay, well you know who else is very pretty?
3:34
Speaker 3: All Joan and all her men very pretty, very nice man.
3:39
Speaker 4: This mentell all was a celebration of the season, which
3:43
Speaker 4: I am glad they did it this way if they
3:46
Speaker 4: were going to do a men tell all, I'm glad
3:50
Speaker 4: that the structure of the show was this and they
3:52
Speaker 4: didn't try to insert some sort of drama between the
3:55
Speaker 4: guys and instead just celebrating the friendships that were gathered
3:59
Speaker 4: like that. Having said that they should just never have
4:02
Speaker 4: had a mental.
4:02
Speaker 3: Well okay, but do you know why they had a
4:04
Speaker 3: mentell all?
4:04
Speaker 2: In my theory, even though it probably costs them a bit,
4:07
Speaker 2: I don't know what the ratio is for, like what's
4:09
Speaker 2: worth it for them.
4:10
Speaker 4: I'm sure ABC needed a certain set amount of episodes
4:13
Speaker 4: and what the structure of the show is set in
4:15
Speaker 4: a way that you know it's it's it's kind of like, well,
4:19
Speaker 4: of course we'll do a mental all.
4:21
Speaker 2: No, Okay, my theory is this they did it? Okay, Well, yeah,
4:24
Speaker 2: you're right, they're always gonna do it. I don't think
4:27
Speaker 2: there's been a season with that one besides Paradise seasons,
4:30
Speaker 2: which sometimes people are requesting Paradise seasons over something like that.
4:35
Speaker 4: It's done some reunions, some.
4:36
Speaker 3: Sort of catchups.
4:38
Speaker 2: Now, an episode like this you would think would be
4:42
Speaker 2: paired with a regular episode just because like we needed more,
4:46
Speaker 2: especially since it was an hour and a half episode.
4:49
Speaker 4: This was an hour and a half. It wasn't too yeah,
4:52
Speaker 4: it felt like to them, No.
4:53
Speaker 3: Actually it felt short to me. It's so weird.
4:56
Speaker 2: So normally I would think that they would tack on
4:58
Speaker 2: like thirty minutes of real drama from like Fantasy Suites
5:02
Speaker 2: or The Final Two or something, and then they would
5:05
Speaker 2: put mentel all at the end of that. This week,
5:09
Speaker 2: I think they're like, okay, well, the plan is to
5:11
Speaker 2: air it Wednesday after the election. Nobody knows whether or
5:16
Speaker 2: not the results will be here by then. People are
5:19
Speaker 2: not thinking about the Golden Bachelorette this week, so it's
5:23
Speaker 2: perfect timing to throw a mentell.
5:25
Speaker 3: All on a Wednesday night.
5:28
Speaker 2: Nobody needs to see it, but it's there as light,
5:31
Speaker 2: fluffy content if they want it, and if if it
5:35
Speaker 2: even gets to air.
5:36
Speaker 4: I agree, Yeah, they probably should have just took a week
5:39
Speaker 4: off Election week. A lot's going on high.
5:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, just you know, George, Sorry, she's just talking to me.
5:52
Speaker 2: Do you think they will I think that in a
5:54
Speaker 2: regular week, at a regular time, they would have just
5:57
Speaker 2: like done a back to back episode. They're just like, no, no,
6:00
Speaker 2: it's okay, Well the store.
6:02
Speaker 4: I agree, you know what I'm talking about. Yes, of
6:03
Speaker 4: course they didn't want to put anything consequential into this
6:05
Speaker 4: episode because they knew exactly not a lot of people
6:07
Speaker 4: are probably gonna watch it. Yeh, Because it's the day
6:09
Speaker 4: after election. No one's thinking about the Golden Bachelorette, even
6:12
Speaker 4: though you know, it was funny. I went on Yahoo
6:14
Speaker 4: this morning just to check the news, and the top
6:17
Speaker 4: like scroll side by side was you know, Trump about
6:24
Speaker 4: Trump winning the election, and then right next door was
6:27
Speaker 4: Golden Bachelorette recap, and I'm like, god, I can't believe
6:29
Speaker 4: those two things are side by side.
6:31
Speaker 3: That's funny.
6:32
Speaker 2: All right, So the episode itself has absolutely zero drama,
6:38
Speaker 2: which is as wonderful the least dramatic read and.
6:42
Speaker 4: Is it wonderful?
6:43
Speaker 3: No, this is wonderful.
6:44
Speaker 2: I think it's wonderful because they didn't even try because
6:47
Speaker 2: they were like, oh, we don't have any so let's
6:48
Speaker 2: not try. So it's really could have just been called
6:52
Speaker 2: like the celebration of the men.
6:54
Speaker 3: You were bored, and I actually thought it was sweet.
6:56
Speaker 3: I wasn't particularly bored, but I will tell you this,
6:59
Speaker 3: it's very sweet.
7:00
Speaker 2: Qualify episodes based on like, is this a scroll episode?
7:03
Speaker 2: Like where I'm on my phone scrolling or trying to
7:05
Speaker 2: do something else while watching, which, of course, you guys,
7:08
Speaker 2: this is my job to recap.
7:09
Speaker 3: I don't do that, but like it's my compulsion. Do
7:12
Speaker 3: I wish I would be doing that? You know what
7:13
Speaker 3: I mean? Now this case, because it was a.
7:16
Speaker 2: Tell all, I was like, and Jared was already previewing
7:19
Speaker 2: to me that it was slow or inconsequential. I was like, okay,
7:24
Speaker 2: well then I'm going to Christmas decorate during this, so
7:27
Speaker 2: I did okay. And I do have to say that, like,
7:30
Speaker 2: if I were to sit down and just dedicate my
7:33
Speaker 2: time fully to this episode would have been like, oh no,
7:36
Speaker 2: but I was nice to have in the background as
7:38
Speaker 2: like a podcast. That's what it was to me, a podcast.
7:52
Speaker 4: This is a great example as to why I'm not
7:56
Speaker 4: a TV guy because The Bachelor, Right, obviously, it's given
8:01
Speaker 4: us more in our lives than we could possibly have
8:03
Speaker 4: ever asked for. It's one of the most successful shows
8:06
Speaker 4: of all time, longest running shows. I mean, it's it's,
8:12
Speaker 4: you know, a place in TV history cannot be understated,
8:15
Speaker 4: the Bachelor franchise. But like every show goes through this
8:20
Speaker 4: where there's just episodes where it's like, why am I
8:25
Speaker 4: watching this for an hour and a half? Why am
8:27
Speaker 4: I watching this? And it's but this is exactly why,
8:30
Speaker 4: well hold on. But this is exactly why I'm not
8:33
Speaker 4: a TV guy because there's so many times with multitude
8:36
Speaker 4: of television shows, whether it be I don't know, breaking
8:40
Speaker 4: bad or whatever you're you're biting not breaking bad.
8:43
Speaker 2: Every episode is consequent Ozarks. I thought that was too
8:48
Speaker 2: slow to continue?
8:49
Speaker 4: Is it Ozark or Ozark Ozark?
8:52
Speaker 3: Anyway?
8:53
Speaker 4: Ozark one of the widely considered one of the greatest shows.
8:56
Speaker 4: But like so many times, there's episodes I hear from
8:58
Speaker 4: people like, oh, you got to get through four episodes
9:01
Speaker 4: and then it gets really going. It's like, so you're
9:03
Speaker 4: telling me I got to dedicate almost five hours of
9:05
Speaker 4: my life.
9:06
Speaker 3: Will tell me that what's the show that with Catherine O'Hara.
9:10
Speaker 4: Oh, I get the uh sure, like, oh no, I'm
9:15
Speaker 4: oh it, Shit's creak.
9:16
Speaker 3: Yeah, shit's creak.
9:17
Speaker 2: People tell me that I have to watch the whole
9:19
Speaker 2: first season it shit's creaked to start to like it.
9:22
Speaker 3: At the beginning of season two?
9:23
Speaker 4: What are we doing with our lives?
9:24
Speaker 3: You know?
9:25
Speaker 4: And I get that people do that, and it's a thing,
9:27
Speaker 4: and I respect it because I wish I could do.
9:29
Speaker 3: It with some shows and some shows you don't.
9:31
Speaker 2: And my retaliation point is that we love TV because
9:36
Speaker 2: we get so close to the characters.
9:37
Speaker 3: We feel like we really know them so much more
9:40
Speaker 3: than a movie.
9:41
Speaker 2: In an episode like this where mental all super sweet,
9:44
Speaker 2: no drama filler episode, we just want to see them.
9:48
Speaker 2: We just want to see more of their personality. And
9:50
Speaker 2: that's all we just.
9:51
Speaker 4: That's fair, that's fair.
9:52
Speaker 2: You don't like, you don't like, you don't need the Yeah,
9:56
Speaker 2: there's something you don't need, access personality.
9:59
Speaker 3: I love character development, give me all of it.
10:01
Speaker 4: I love character precise, but no, there's also a subtlety
10:06
Speaker 4: to character development that I really appreciate. Like in movies,
10:10
Speaker 4: you know, there's so much to be said in silent
10:12
Speaker 4: moments like one of the this I always uses an example.
10:15
Speaker 4: I'm sorry and going off track right now, but I
10:17
Speaker 4: not really if you get me on this podcast, I'm sorry,
10:20
Speaker 4: this is what we're going to talk about. But there's
10:21
Speaker 4: a scene in the party where I could talk about this.
10:24
Speaker 4: So there's a scene between Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon
10:27
Speaker 4: and uh, forget Martin Sheen's character dies, he's like the
10:32
Speaker 4: Captain DiCaprio has his phone or like he's got the
10:34
Speaker 4: rats phone or something like that, and Matt Damon calls
10:37
Speaker 4: the phone and Leo knows it's the Rat but doesn't
10:40
Speaker 4: know who it is, and he picks up the phone. No, no,
10:43
Speaker 4: it's just dead silence. Yeah, yeah, And it just puts
10:45
Speaker 4: back and forth between both guys just hearing each other
10:48
Speaker 4: breathe on the phone. And in that moment, there is
10:50
Speaker 4: more character development in that twenty seconds of silence than
10:54
Speaker 4: in most movies, you know what I mean. It's just
10:57
Speaker 4: like it's it's a chef's kiss.
10:59
Speaker 3: It is great. I see it play in my head
11:01
Speaker 3: right now.
11:03
Speaker 4: That like just everything in that moment, the tension just
11:07
Speaker 4: just oh god, it's so good.
11:08
Speaker 2: Anyway, Okay, during the strip day, Jonathan says that he's
11:13
Speaker 2: never stripped before. It didn't we didn't believe him, and
11:17
Speaker 2: then they reasked the question here.
11:20
Speaker 4: He has never done it, professor. Very funny, That was
11:23
Speaker 4: very funny.
11:24
Speaker 2: We also find out that Jonathan has a girlfriend, which
11:29
Speaker 2: means that Jonathan is off of the Golden Bachelor list,
11:33
Speaker 2: which is disappointing to me as it seems as if
11:37
Speaker 2: Mark might also have a girlfriend. So to my two
11:40
Speaker 2: lead picks both have girlfriends.
11:45
Speaker 4: Is there going to be a Golden Bachelor.
11:47
Speaker 3: And they were casting for it in the commercials?
11:49
Speaker 4: Oh? Then yes? Oh okay. Do you think that they
11:53
Speaker 4: should pick someone from Jones season or do they Do
11:55
Speaker 4: you think that they should pick.
11:57
Speaker 3: Uh celebrity studcaster?
11:59
Speaker 4: Yeah, like an old celebrity. I mean because listen, obviously
12:04
Speaker 4: I love the format of the show.
12:05
Speaker 3: I think it needs a little pick me up.
12:07
Speaker 4: I think it needs a little pick me up.
12:08
Speaker 3: I think this might be a little pick when we
12:09
Speaker 3: might need it.
12:10
Speaker 4: So, who do you haven't.
12:11
Speaker 2: Done a celebrity stunt casting? In Forever? Jesse was the
12:15
Speaker 2: celebrity stunt casting.
12:16
Speaker 3: So was Baldwin? Wasn't Baldwin one of the Baldwin brothers, right.
12:21
Speaker 4: I have.
12:22
Speaker 3: I thought he was. I was very young when his
12:24
Speaker 3: season came out.
12:25
Speaker 2: And then there was the Prince that was kind of stunty,
12:28
Speaker 2: but Jesse was the celebrity stunt cast.
12:30
Speaker 4: Yeah, I bet that there's an older celebrity who would
12:35
Speaker 4: be willing to do You definitely be down to do it.
12:38
Speaker 3: Yeah.
12:38
Speaker 2: They plugged Charles as possibly the next Bachelor, a Golden Bachelor.
12:43
Speaker 2: As they they call him out in the middle of
12:45
Speaker 2: the crowd. They have some you know stage moment where
12:48
Speaker 2: a fan says, Charles for Golden Bachelor.
12:52
Speaker 3: If not, then my mom, I.
12:54
Speaker 4: Know, it's so sweet. Do you do matter the mom?
12:57
Speaker 3: Do you do you not think that Charles couldn't carry
12:59
Speaker 3: this show?
13:00
Speaker 4: Do you?
13:01
Speaker 3: Okay, let me tell you.
13:03
Speaker 2: At first I thought this is wacky, this is the
13:07
Speaker 2: sweetest man.
13:09
Speaker 3: And then but I was like, but he can't carry
13:12
Speaker 3: the show.
13:12
Speaker 4: No, he can't carry the show.
13:13
Speaker 2: And then I thought, who of this group do I
13:16
Speaker 2: actually want to watch more of? It? Is Charles and
13:20
Speaker 2: he is the most endearing person I've really ever come across,
13:26
Speaker 2: like the most so can.
13:28
Speaker 4: You imagine twenty five older women? I guess when you Yeah, if.
13:34
Speaker 2: You want a Golden bachelor that is just like you
13:37
Speaker 2: cannot stop watching it because he's just too cute and
13:42
Speaker 2: that's the guy, you know, Like, I don't know what
13:45
Speaker 2: kind of grand romance might come out of this.
13:48
Speaker 3: I don't even know if he talks about how he
13:51
Speaker 3: wants he's ready to move on. Is this evil of
13:54
Speaker 3: me to say?
13:55
Speaker 4: No, it's idealist?
13:57
Speaker 3: Okay, that's what it is. It's me just being like.
14:01
Speaker 4: You romantic, right, buddy, your soulmate.
14:04
Speaker 3: Not evil, too romantic exactly.
14:07
Speaker 2: All right, Well, it's just because he's just the way
14:10
Speaker 2: that he talks about his wife, you know, I mean,
14:12
Speaker 2: say with Mark and Mark. Actually, there was nothing. There
14:16
Speaker 2: was no huge Mark moments to me in this episode.
14:21
Speaker 3: Except for precisely the post it note.
14:26
Speaker 2: That he said that he gave to Jonathan saying that, like,
14:30
Speaker 2: you know, if I'm not around tomorrow, which he meant
14:32
Speaker 2: like if I don't get a rose.
14:34
Speaker 4: Not obviously dying, Yes, just know that.
14:39
Speaker 2: You're like a great man, and he like had listed
14:42
Speaker 2: like all these attributes that he admired from him.
14:44
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's really sweet.
14:45
Speaker 3: Can you would you do that if you were in
14:47
Speaker 3: the house with these men.
14:49
Speaker 4: I'm trying to think of who I would do it.
14:50
Speaker 3: I feel like Ben would do it to you.
14:53
Speaker 4: He will do it for me. Ben, Relax, I'm not
14:55
Speaker 4: that great, very sweet, but I'm not deserving of this.
15:00
Speaker 4: You can write like you're okay, You're doing a good job,
15:03
Speaker 4: and then I'd be like, all right, thanks, I appreciate that. Yeah, Like,
15:08
Speaker 4: do you.
15:09
Speaker 3: See yourself in thirty years softer in that way?
15:15
Speaker 4: Yeah? It's interesting because I think there's areas in my
15:18
Speaker 4: life where I've become hardened, and then there are areas
15:20
Speaker 4: in my life where I've become softer. You know, I
15:25
Speaker 4: was actually thinking yesterday when I was feeding Hayden introspectively
15:31
Speaker 4: about you know, like, what how Hayden's going to view
15:36
Speaker 4: me as a as a dad? And you know, it's
15:40
Speaker 4: a weird thought. What type of man are you going
15:42
Speaker 4: to think I am? You know, I hope you think
15:44
Speaker 4: I'm a good man.
15:45
Speaker 2: But you're wonderful, I was there. That's not wonderful. Lots
15:48
Speaker 2: of things, definitely, like the work. Well, you know, I
15:51
Speaker 2: can't say that working too much is a negative thing.
15:54
Speaker 4: No, actually as well, but anyway, but that's an area
16:00
Speaker 4: where I think I've become softer in terms of thinking.
16:02
Speaker 4: You know, grandioso. It's with kids because it just puts
16:06
Speaker 4: you know, you start thinking about your place in life,
16:11
Speaker 4: not so much about your own being, but in terms
16:14
Speaker 4: of okay, well, I'm here in this world, and my
16:18
Speaker 4: most important thing is not just like living, but just
16:21
Speaker 4: being there for Dawson and Hayden, Like I want to
16:24
Speaker 4: live as long as possible, right, because I want to
16:26
Speaker 4: be there as long as possible for them. Yeah, and
16:29
Speaker 4: that has obviously that mindset has been different the past
16:33
Speaker 4: three years since having kids than it was prior.
16:35
Speaker 3: Yeah.
16:36
Speaker 4: Right, It's like, well, I want to live as long
16:37
Speaker 4: as possible because I want to do things and breathe
16:40
Speaker 4: and I appreciate life and I'm grateful for life, which
16:43
Speaker 4: all those things are true still, but now it's also
16:45
Speaker 4: shifted to be like, well, now I want to be
16:46
Speaker 4: here as long as possible because you know, I don't want,
16:50
Speaker 4: you know, Dawson to be fifteen and something happened and
16:52
Speaker 4: then he you know, kind of grows out without a dad,
16:55
Speaker 4: like I want to be there for him.
16:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
16:56
Speaker 2: Like I think we've talked about this before, but I
16:59
Speaker 2: never really thought of like my own death as like
17:02
Speaker 2: an emotional thing. I never thought of like me getting
17:05
Speaker 2: in the car and like something bad happening.
17:08
Speaker 3: Or you know, on a plan or whatnot.
17:09
Speaker 4: You think about you your family.
17:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're always thinking about like you're worried about their flight,
17:13
Speaker 2: not your own flight. And then being a parent, you
17:17
Speaker 2: think about your own flight, and then you think about
17:19
Speaker 2: your what you know why he's of transportation, but you
17:23
Speaker 2: know we all think of it.
17:24
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's like, oh my god, something happened to me.
17:26
Speaker 2: Then you start like I start like, well up now
17:29
Speaker 2: thinking about how their life would be. Yeah, okay, well,
17:43
Speaker 2: yes we're all mushier with age and children.
17:47
Speaker 3: So other thing I'd like to mention is.
17:52
Speaker 2: You didn't see this part, but there's this one guy
17:55
Speaker 2: and he was a captain of a military ship Kim
17:59
Speaker 2: So he wrote this song is called the Mansion Men,
18:02
Speaker 2: and it's actually quite catchy. I'm like, this guy might
18:06
Speaker 2: have some musical talent. And on the show it was
18:08
Speaker 2: supposed to be kind of like an embarrassing moment for him. Yeah,
18:12
Speaker 2: nobody wanted to sing it. They were supposed to sing
18:14
Speaker 2: it like on a row ceremony night, and only guy
18:16
Speaker 2: was down to sing it with him and in order
18:20
Speaker 2: to bring him more pride, they had the LA's Gay
18:24
Speaker 2: Man Chorus come out and sing this song in its
18:28
Speaker 2: glory and it's great, great song, but you didn't see it.
18:32
Speaker 2: But I just wanted to say, great song. He may
18:35
Speaker 2: have fallen asleep for this part.
18:37
Speaker 4: That's not true. My eye was half open.
18:41
Speaker 2: And then finally we get to the end where we
18:46
Speaker 2: see the scenes from the next episode, the finale, the finale.
18:51
Speaker 2: Jared was away for this, and I feel like the
18:56
Speaker 2: biggest takeaway is that Jonas and seem that smiley.
19:02
Speaker 4: She's definitely not smiley.
19:03
Speaker 2: But her reaction, her facial expression looks a lot like
19:08
Speaker 2: what Gens did at her mantella whenever they would like
19:12
Speaker 2: preview Gen's reaction for like the next week.
19:15
Speaker 4: What is the name of the guy she picked? Devin?
19:19
Speaker 3: Yes, but look at that.
19:21
Speaker 2: That shows you just how fleeting the Bachelor audience memory is.
19:29
Speaker 4: Yeah, well there's just so many names. I remember his face, well, yeah,
19:34
Speaker 4: I remember that face. Joan's definitely not smiling. It's hard
19:39
Speaker 4: to tell if she's.
19:41
Speaker 3: Trying to hold back exact be an actress.
19:44
Speaker 4: Exactly or what's real? You know, if she's trying.
19:49
Speaker 3: To I don't think she's a very good actress.
19:54
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess we'll find out if she's super happy.
19:56
Speaker 3: I don't know.
19:57
Speaker 2: See, this is just my my feeling the entire time
20:00
Speaker 2: is that like her guy wasn't really there. I think
20:03
Speaker 2: that that Chock is the closest that she's gonna get there.
20:08
Speaker 4: So you think that she's gonna break up with Chalk.
20:10
Speaker 3: No, no, no no.
20:11
Speaker 2: I think that she's gonna be with Chock. And then
20:13
Speaker 2: I think she's gonna get in real life and realize, like.
20:15
Speaker 4: So they broke up after the show.
20:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, oh, I definitely think.
20:19
Speaker 2: Sorry, I definitely, I definitely think that she ends up
20:23
Speaker 2: with him. I just don't know what the status of
20:25
Speaker 2: their relationship is now.
20:26
Speaker 4: If they end up together and then break up before
20:30
Speaker 4: or after, that would be bad, like, oh my goodness, gracious,
20:34
Speaker 4: grape balls.
20:35
Speaker 2: Just but do you know it's worse just stay together
20:38
Speaker 2: married after four months of meeting each other.
20:40
Speaker 4: That's bad. Don't get married and then divorced. Don't get married.
20:44
Speaker 4: But I don't know, I hope not. I mean, how
20:48
Speaker 4: long ago did they film? Like three months ago? Four
20:49
Speaker 4: months ago? I think it started in June, so like
20:53
Speaker 4: they probably ended in August, so you're talking about September October.
20:56
Speaker 4: It's been two months. I mean, this is all you know,
20:59
Speaker 4: this is all assumptions here, we're just speaking out of
21:02
Speaker 4: the out of our butts.
21:03
Speaker 3: But look at us, where the opposite. We're the opposite.
21:09
Speaker 3: You didn't like me on the show, and then you
21:10
Speaker 3: love me in my life.
21:12
Speaker 4: Look at that, and then so that.
21:14
Speaker 3: Can just those flips, those flip flips can switch.
21:20
Speaker 4: Yeah, of course can flip switches do flip It's correct.
21:25
Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean, listen, I hope she's with Chalk.
21:28
Speaker 4: I mean, I can't even I don't know what type
21:30
Speaker 4: of drama this final episode's going to bring, because it's like,
21:33
Speaker 4: is she even like, does anybody think she's gonna end
21:36
Speaker 4: up with guy? I know they saw that show. That preview,
21:38
Speaker 4: Guy was saying that I'm in love with you.
21:40
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, he said, I'm ready to get engaged,
21:42
Speaker 2: like I would propose to you. Yeah, And it's not
21:44
Speaker 2: like the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard in my
21:46
Speaker 2: entire life. I've never seen two people so neutral about
21:48
Speaker 2: each other.
21:48
Speaker 4: Yeah. So again, I hope that what I hope is
21:52
Speaker 4: that guy, with all due respect, good looking, seems very nice,
21:56
Speaker 4: he sing He sung the song, but eliminate guy.
21:59
Speaker 3: He did sing this song and that was one of
22:00
Speaker 3: his glory moments.
22:01
Speaker 4: I hope that the tension in the episode is not
22:03
Speaker 4: between who she picks, but rather if she ends up
22:06
Speaker 4: picking Chok because of the guilt that she feels from
22:11
Speaker 4: you know, her obviously past relationship. Yes, yes, so that
22:15
Speaker 4: would be far more interesting to me if there is
22:18
Speaker 4: this sense of guilt that she feels. I mean, I
22:20
Speaker 4: hope she doesn't feel this way. Obviously, I want Joan
22:22
Speaker 4: to be happy. I don't. I don't. I don't think
22:24
Speaker 4: that she's doing anything wrong. I don't think she's doing
22:26
Speaker 4: anything wrong at all, Like she should move on. I'm
22:28
Speaker 4: sure a lot of people close in her, in her
22:32
Speaker 4: circle want her to move on and be able to
22:35
Speaker 4: you know, be happy again. But I'm sure just from
22:37
Speaker 4: a human being standpoint, she feels lottle guilty, and plus
22:40
Speaker 4: from a TV as aspect, like that is compelling stuff.
22:44
Speaker 4: If the reason that she feels like she might not
22:46
Speaker 4: pick Chok is just because she has this overwhelming sense
22:49
Speaker 4: of guilt, which they showed in the episode, a little
22:51
Speaker 4: bit of you know, you know, and is this the
22:55
Speaker 4: right thing to do? Which I get? I mean, how
22:59
Speaker 4: can you not think that.
23:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, not that it would be very It would be
23:03
Speaker 2: a lot of sense for this part of the franchise.
23:05
Speaker 4: Yeah, if I was in that predicament, I would think
23:08
Speaker 4: the exact same thing. And I'm sure my friends would
23:11
Speaker 4: tell me exactly what I would tell Joan, which is,
23:12
Speaker 4: you're not doing anything wrong. But it's hard to think.
23:16
Speaker 3: That my ghost would say you're doing something wrong. I'm kidding.
23:20
Speaker 4: I would not actually haunted the after life only for.
23:24
Speaker 3: A few years. I'd haunt you like that, only.
23:28
Speaker 4: For a few years. Okay, hopefully I don't. I mean,
23:33
Speaker 4: I hope I die before you. Well, statistically speaking, i'll die, yes,
23:37
Speaker 4: I guess. So is that so weird to think I'll
23:40
Speaker 4: die before you?
23:40
Speaker 2: You'll see me die, Jared, that's the worst thing I've
23:43
Speaker 2: ever heard, could you know?
23:45
Speaker 4: That's so sad.
23:46
Speaker 3: That's so sad.
23:47
Speaker 4: Hopefully many many, many many years from now.
23:51
Speaker 3: And on that note, I'm gonna go cry.
23:54
Speaker 4: No, don't cry.
23:55
Speaker 3: I will see you guys next time, and Jared probably won't.
23:59
Speaker 4: But until then, but you'll see Ben and Ben's better.
24:02
Speaker 4: So let's just all be honest, which I'm totally fine with.
24:04
Speaker 4: I'm fine being if Ben's an A minus. I'm fine
24:07
Speaker 4: being a B minus C plus.
24:09
Speaker 3: Why where'd just get B plus? And I'm not gonna
24:13
Speaker 3: give my nicoles?
24:15
Speaker 4: No? Ben six four, he's got four inches on me.
24:18
Speaker 4: I always have to say that, why are you comparing
24:19
Speaker 4: your looks right now?
24:20
Speaker 3: I didn't think we were talking about that. I was
24:22
Speaker 3: talking about quality men.
24:23
Speaker 2: You're both such high quality, well say, factable, lovable, kind
24:27
Speaker 2: hearted men.
24:28
Speaker 4: Ben's a very respectable man. But I would always say like,
24:32
Speaker 4: because you know, I feel like Ben and I are
24:34
Speaker 4: certain similar, so similar in certain ways. And when we
24:37
Speaker 4: were on the show together, I remember just thinking like
24:39
Speaker 4: I got no shop being this guy, Like I'm trying
24:41
Speaker 4: to be as good as him and so, but he's
24:44
Speaker 4: got four inches on me. It's like over why would
24:47
Speaker 4: why would she ever pick me over him? It's just
24:50
Speaker 4: not happening.
24:50
Speaker 2: The thing is with Ben on that season, people are
24:53
Speaker 2: so tired of her hearing this say this. But like
24:56
Speaker 2: when he did that sex talk with the kids, I
24:59
Speaker 2: was like, no one can beat this man.
25:01
Speaker 4: Trust me. I was like, this, fing guy, you didn't
25:04
Speaker 4: see it.
25:04
Speaker 3: You already been there, you saw it back on TV.
25:07
Speaker 3: You weren't on that date.
25:09
Speaker 4: I was on that date.
25:10
Speaker 3: You were on that date.
25:11
Speaker 4: Yes, I was on that date. The sex talk with
25:13
Speaker 4: the kids.
25:14
Speaker 3: I don't remember them showing you talk to the kids
25:17
Speaker 3: at all.
25:17
Speaker 4: My big date was the week before the boxing.
25:19
Speaker 3: Day you got you barely got any air.
25:22
Speaker 4: No, they showed me and I had my black eye
25:25
Speaker 4: and was a fun date.
25:28
Speaker 2: I'm sure you probably totally excelled in that too. Well
25:32
Speaker 2: already imagine like you would be so good at that.
25:35
Speaker 2: But the fact that like they showed Ben like he's
25:38
Speaker 2: like walking down.
25:39
Speaker 4: Started walking down the aisle, I'm like, why did I
25:42
Speaker 4: not do this? And they had me go before Ben,
25:45
Speaker 4: So I'm like, damn it, can I do mine again? Please?
25:48
Speaker 2: Do you think that they saved Ben for last knowing
25:51
Speaker 2: that he was just gonna kill it.
25:52
Speaker 3: He's like a youth minister.
25:53
Speaker 4: And they probably were like, Ben, you know, if you
25:55
Speaker 4: feel like you want to like walk up to you, yest,
25:58
Speaker 4: feel free to buddy, And they're like, Jared, stay up front,
